Hu left the nest for a winter, and only during the New Year did he take the autumn evening, Shuzhu and the red halberd that had grown a lot crazy for several days.

The most common thing to do is to take Qiuxi and Shuzhu, and the red halberd often squats in front of the various small vendors on the street, sometimes squatting together in front of the small vendors selling candy, watching the small vendors with small spoons in a short period of time sketching a simple and expressive sugar man pattern; Sometimes he took them in front of the and dog fighting stall, followed by a group of gentlemen who were screaming excitedly for a chicken.

Xiao Qiao watched him go out happily every day, and came back happily, and he was also happy.

Even Concubine Ning sent the little eunuch to bring the Seven Princes over, and said some specious things openly and secretly, so that he had to put down the time he spent with Hu Li and deal with them, which didn't make his mood worse.

Xiao Qiao looked at the Seven Princes who came over with the little eunuch again, received them with a smile, and brought people to a gluttonous banquet, where people were served with delicious food and drink.

After all, the Seventh Prince was young and not so calm, he looked at Xiao Qiao who was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking out of the window, pursed his lips, and put down the tea cup in his hand, "Cousin, I know you are a smart person, but the patience of my mother and I is also limited. ”

Xiao Qiao watched downstairs Hu Li and Qiu Xi line up in front of the shop selling roast chicken, the red halberd hovering above his head, Hu Li was raising his head and didn't know what to say to the red halberd.

"Your Royal Highness, you go back and tell Concubine Ning Niangniang, the minister is just an ordinary household member, and the official position is too low to give you too much help."

The Seventh Prince frowned and waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to go and guard outside the box. After the little eunuch went out, the Seventh Prince leaned closer to Xiao Qiao and said in a low voice, "Cousin, the mother concubine can make your official position rise as quickly as possible." As long as you can help me, I will have wealth and power in the future. ”

Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows, what he said was really not tempting, how many people are like this, but how many have really achieved it.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister expects Concubine Ning to show sincerity, instead of being so empty and white-toothed." Xiao Qiao smiled and withdrew his gaze looking out of the window, looking at the Seventh Prince, who was obviously as big as the Eighth Prince, but much more immature, "Your Highness the Seventh, I am a timid person, and the Xiao Mansion can't stand it." ”

The Seventh Prince frowned, his mouth was tightly pursed, it seems that his cousin, who was praised by his father, really didn't see a rabbit and didn't scatter an eagle!

"Okay, His Royal Highness will go back to tell the concubine, and my cousin will definitely see the sincerity of His Royal Highness and the concubine." The Seventh Prince has always been protected by Concubine Ning, and he is far worse than Xiao Qiao, who is like an old fox, in all aspects.

This is also Xiao Qiao's laziness to coax an innocent child like in the previous life, otherwise he can completely let the Seventh Prince trust him, instead of not having a good impression of him, and even a little bad.

After the New Year passed, Xiao Qiao soon could no longer accompany Hu Liwo in the mansion like this, and the affairs of the household department were not small, especially Xiao Qiao was still Lord Li's protégé, and he was basically picked up by Lord Li and followed.

Concubine Ning has not been in vain in the palace all these years, and she has a lot of contacts in her hands, and she can still do it if she wants to take a little way to promote Xiao Qiao's official position, but if she wants to raise Xiao Qiao's official position too much, I am afraid that she will have to pay a lot of price.

At the court meeting, when Xiao Qiao was named the left attendant of the household department, he was stunned by the ministers in the main hall. The left squire of the household department is the official position of the third grade of the Zheng'er Eight Classics, and his status in the household department is second only to the household department Shangshu.

Speaking of which, even Xiao Qiao was a little surprised, he thought that Concubine Ning would be good if she could walk and make him a five-grade Hubu Langzhong, and he didn't put all the promotion on Concubine Ning. The sudden rise in official positions, and all of a sudden from the fifth grade to the third grade, the gap in the middle is not ordinarily large.

Xiao Qiao knelt in the center of the hall, listening to the slender voice of Father-in-law Fuming chanting the lengthy holy decree, his back straightened, and his wide sleeves spread out on the ground.

Emperor Huiming squinted slightly and looked at Xiao Qiao below, he didn't know what it meant to promote Xiao Qiao from the fifth rank to the third grade all of a sudden, but thinking of the frequent movements of the harem, Emperor Huiming snorted coldly in his heart, did he think he was blind?

Since they wanted to go through the door to promote Xiao Qiao's official position, he followed their wishes and raised Xiao Qiao's official position to a high level, and he could still afford to give it to a household left, and Xiao Qiao's ability was by no means as good as it seemed on the surface, although it was excellent but not eye-catching.

Thinking of the situation transmitted by the Northwest guards, Emperor Huiming's mood became happy again. I didn't pay attention to it earlier, Xiaoba does have some talent in leading troops to fight, but in a year's time, the matter of Huangsha City has been basically resolved, and according to the news, the matter of Huangsha City is definitely indispensable to the construction of Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao was promoted to an official position all of a sudden, and most of the people who were in the household department earlier were both envious and jealous. Xiao Qiao is only 19 years old now, and he is already the left waiter of the household department of the third grade, and these people who have been established and are not even confused are still unable to move in their original official positions for many years.

Fortunately, the household department is still Lord Li Ren Shangshu, and Lord Li wants to protect Xiao Qiao, and the others can only stare dryly. Everyone knows that in addition to being a scholar of the household department, Lord Li is also a university scholar, and he is extremely easy to do with verbal and written criticism, and no one wants to provoke Lord Li, who can be regarded as a contemporary Confucian.

Concubine Ning, who was in the harem, heard that Xiao Qiao had been promoted to the left waiter of the household, and she was so shocked that she almost broke her nails, she looked at the little eunuch who came to report the news, and her eyes widened in disbelief, "You mean the left waiter of the household, you heard it right?" ”

The little eunuch knelt on the ground tremblingly, his body trembled like a sieve, and he nodded again and again, "If you go back to Niangniang, it is indeed the left servant of the household department." ”

Concubine Ning frowned, waved her hand and motioned for the little eunuch to go back, "Take a good look over there, and find a way to send it over if there is news." ”

How could it be Tobe Zuo Shiro? Xiao Qiao was not easy to win over, but now that he has become the left servant of the household department, I am afraid that it will not be long before the third prince will be able to target Xiao Qiao, and it will be even more difficult to win over Xiao Qiao at that time.

She took a lot of connections to make Xiao Qiao's official position rise, although Xiao Qiao's promotion to the left waiter of the household department was a little unexpected, but she did not allow others to cut people off from her.

"Yes, sissy." The little eunuch walked out of Qixia Palace in sweat, walked all the way to a corner of the imperial garden with his head down, looked at the people standing among the flowers, and said in a low voice, "I have already told Concubine Ning Niangniang." ”

"Well, let's go back and stay safe." Unlike the little eunuch's somewhat shrill voice, this person's voice was a little low, but the clothes that showed out of the corner of the flowers were eunuch clothes.

After the little eunuch left, the person in the flowers raised his head slightly, revealing Xiao Xiazi's face.

"Hey, I'm going back." The little eunuch avoided people all the way back to the small kitchen behind the imperial study, and as soon as he went back, he heard the master chef banging on the people in the kitchen, and when he saw him coming back, he snorted coldly, but there was not much anger in his tone, "Don't come back soon, I'm going to make some stomach-warming porridge for Your Majesty in a while, and watch the fire." ”

"Got it, master." The little eunuch pursed his lips and ran to the front of the stove and squatted down, and the master waved his hand to signal that everyone had dispersed, what should they do. looked at the little eunuch who was squatting in front of the stove like a little quail, and shook his head helplessly, how can he survive in this palace like this.

Because Xiao Qiao was promoted, he was dragged to a gluttonous banquet by his colleagues in the evening, shouting that he would treat him to a drink. Although Xiao Qiao left from the Hanlin Academy, he still kept thinking about this Lord Lin, thinking of the floods of this summer and the exploits made by this Lord Lin, Xiao Qiao agreed to Lord Lin's request to follow the wine without thinking about it.

When drinking, Xiao Qiao more or less told Lord Lin about flood prevention and later treatment, which made Lord Lin regard him as a confidant in life, and talked vigorously about meeting each other, which made Xiao Qiao cry and laugh.

After the beginning of spring, Hu Liwodong's state was over, and he regained his lively appearance, and the entire Xiao Mansion seemed to have more laughter.

Hu Li didn't know much about officialdom, but he knew that Xiao Qiao wanted the eighth prince to be the emperor in the future, and he also knew that Xiao Qiao had always wanted to be the prime minister. Although he didn't know why Xiao Qiao was so obsessed with the official position of prime minister, this did not prevent Hu Li from trying not to trouble Xiao Qiao when he was tired, and entertained himself in the imperial city every day and had a lot of fun.

Xiao Qiao now has to participate in the big and small court meetings, and he has to go out early to prepare for the attack, in the past, Xiao's father attacked alone, but now with his son by his side, he inexplicably feels that the last dynasty doesn't seem to be so tired.

After Xiao Qiao entered the palace, he usually didn't come back at noon, he had just served as Zuo Shilang, and many things in the household department were not very clear. In his previous life, he entered the criminal department, although the teacher was the head of the household, but he only knew a little about the affairs of the household, and it was not clear how detailed it was.

Xiao Qiao usually comes back in the evening, so Hu Li has a day to go out for a walk, that is, when he is wandering, Hu Li meets a son who claims to be an idle knight.

The two almost hit it off, the idle knight's name is Yu Jia, he likes to go to various places to play in the mountains and rivers, and his favorite thing is to eat all the delicacies in that place whenever he goes.

After a few days, just the various delicacies in Yu Jia's mouth made Hu Li's eyes shine, and even before the weather was warm, Yu Jia also brought him some local things from several other places to come back, which made Hu Li praise him for being a good person.

Yu Jia, who was issued a good person card, looked at Hu Li's oily lips and couldn't help sighing, fortunately he didn't have bad intentions, otherwise as long as he wanted to, this kid would have been hit almost every minute.

Later, when he learned that Hu Li lived in Xiao Mansion, Yu Jia also carefully observed for a long time, and found that Xiao Qi, the nearest big celebrity in the entire imperial city, was indeed not bad about Hu Li.

And Xiao Qiao knew some general information about the friends that Hu Li had finally made, and he let it go when he found out that it was not someone who approached Hu Li with a purpose.

"Hu Xiaoli, give." Yu Jia threw bags of strict things to Hu Li, and looked at Hu Li's smiling face, and he also felt comfortable, "Look at your little bit of interest, it's just a bag of food in the city." ”

Hu Li rolled his eyes, "What you said is light, I'm not you, running around all day long, there are no such things in the imperial city." ”

Yu Jia shrugged, "Then come with me to visit the mountains and rivers, don't worry, I can still afford to raise your little things." ”
