Chapter 33: Birthday

After Shen Youan went out, he asked people to prepare water, and after Qi Jinghuan bathed, he went to Xinuan Pavilion to deal with government affairs, because Shen Youan already knew about the affairs of the ministers in the court, and Qi Jinghuan didn't need to hide it from her, so he asked people to go to the imperial study to move the unapproved recital, and still let Shen Youan sit aside, yes, Shen Youan doesn't have to stand and serve now, she can sit and serve, although when Qi Jinghuan made this request at the beginning, Shen Youan didn't dare to agree, But forced by Qi Jinghuan's majesty, he had to agree.

Shen Youan was responsible for sorting out the good notes for Qi Jinghuan on the side, she could still do this idea, Qi Jinghuan was quite serious when he reviewed the folds, Shen Youan stood his head and waited for him to occasionally give him tea and polish ink.

Qi Jinghuan took out a fold handed over by the household, looked at it, lightly scratched the pen on it, naturally handed it to the right, and reached out to get another fold, but his hand was raised for a long time and Shen Youan didn't see it take it, Qi Jinghuan turned his head sideways in wonder, only to see Shen Youan holding the book he had just read in his hand, lying on the table and falling asleep.

He gently pulled out the fold in her hand, just at this time Gao He came in to remind him that it was not too early and he could rest, but saw Qi Jinghuan reaching out to hold Shen Youan in his arms, he paused, Qi Jinghuan looked up at him, put his index finger to his lips and made a silent movement, Gao He understood, and gently stepped aside.

Qi Jinghuan carried Shen Youan to the bed, took off her shoes, tucked her quilt, sat aside and stared at her face, unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips, gently kissed her forehead, and turned to leave.

The next day, in the early dynasty, Ruyang Hou participated in a book of Song Taifu, for this drama, Qi Jinghuan has long been used to it, at the beginning, Ruyang Hou changed a crime a day to participate in Song Taifu, these days there is no new charge and began to repeat the charges of the previous days, the bottom has already been noisy, Qi Jinghuan just sat quietly on it and listened to their quarrel, first did not speak, and then frowned, this time in the past should have been the end of the quarrel, if it was in the past, he would not mind sitting here to watch more lively, but today he has more important things to do, Can't let them delay his serious business.

Li Hongmao, who was standing at the bottom, was also a little anxious, and his majesty didn't forget what they had agreed on.

I don't know how to get involved in the matter of the imperial court appropriation, the household department is reluctant to hear it, how can this good thing pull him again, when even if he says not to give, the others are easy to say, I want to ask for silver from him, to say that this household department is also a strange person, this every time I ask for silver, it is like asking for his life, both horizontal and vertical are the treasury, but every time I want to ask for silver from the household department, I always have to go through some bargaining, but he is also a door master, every time the money allocated will go through a careful calculation, how much silver should be allocated, There is no more than a point, how much silver is spent on each appropriation and he has to return a list, how much silver is spent, he has to go through a detailed comparison, it is precisely because of this door-picking household book, since he sat in this position, the court has a lot less to make money from official affairs, not that I don't want to, but the silver allocated by the court has no oil and water at all.

Once the officials of the imperial court also cooperated to suppress him, trying to remove him from the position of the household department, there was no way, the household department was so picky, the life of the court officials was not good, but the household department Shangshu himself was poor, and there was not even a concubine in the family, so people couldn't find an excuse to suppress it.

You say he's greedy, his family can't even afford to raise a concubine, want to bribe him, he's much richer than you, look, the entire treasury is in the hands of others, people can take a fancy to the little money you sent, and want to frame him, pull him down, there are people above the people, and the majesty above can value this household book, so everyone is helpless about this household book.

Qi Jinghuan was a little anxious when he saw that Hubu Shangshu pulled his sleeves, if this made Hubu Shangshu start and didn't know when to talk about it, who didn't know that Hubu Shangshu was the most capable one, and he had to retreat when he was on Hubu Shangshu.

The most feared of the hundred officials of other dynasties are the imperial history, and when they get here, they have to add a household book, this person is stingy with himself, and other officials will jump out to instigate His Majesty to detain their monthly salary, I have never seen such a household, although they don't care about that little bit of money, after all, there are not many officials who really rely on the court's point of money, the key is to be ashamed, every day to get up early and greedy for darkness in the court, in the end, even the money has been deducted, and there is no shame.

As soon as Hubu Shangshu opened his posture and was about to step forward, Qi Jinghuan gave Li Hongmao a look, Li Hongmao understood, pinched a small bead in his finger and threw it at Hubu Shangshu, the distance was just right, Hubu Shangshu stepped on it, pounced, and fell to the ground, all the ministers were originally focused on Song Taifu and Ruyang Hou, and they didn't notice what the situation was here.

Hubu Shangshu felt as if he had stepped on something, holding his waist, wanting to get up, Qi Jinghuan said; "He Aiqing, what's the matter, someone will help He Aiqing down and ask for a doctor."

Gao He waved his hand and asked the little eunuch standing on the side to go over to help the household department Shangshu, and the household department Shangshu got up and wanted to continue playing, but he was dragged by the arms of the two little eunuchs and pulled out, and he couldn't break away if he wanted to earn it, so he could only let the little eunuch drag him outside, and shouted back while walking; "Your Majesty, Song Taifu and Ruyang Hou are noisy in the dynasty, and they are not in a system, and Weichen Jian yƬ should be punished for three months, and the small punishment is great."

The faces of Song Taifu and Ruyang Hou were dark, and they didn't have the face to quarrel anymore at the moment, they glared at each other and flicked their sleeves and retreated.

Because the Marquis of Ruyang was looking for trouble every day after the other ministers had finished playing, as soon as the two of them were quiet, there was nothing to do, and Gao He shouted at the top of his voice to retreat.

The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted long live three times, and sent Qi Jinghuan away.

After Qi Jinghuan retired from the court, he went back to Shengning Palace directly, and found Shen Youan with a clear goal, Shen Youan greeted him as usual, and he helped Shen Youan up; "Get up, pack up, I will take you out of the palace."

Shen Youan wondered; "Your Majesty is out of the palace, but what's the matter?"

Qi Jinghuan lightly knocked on her forehead and said; "Little fool, what day is it?"

Shen Youan was stunned, but Qi Jinghuan sneered and laughed; "You, today is your sixteenth birthday, why don't you even remember this?"

Shen Youan turned his gaze to the side unnaturally, yes, today is her birthday, I didn't expect him to remember that she used to treat him like that, and he could still smile like this and say that he wanted to celebrate his birthday.

Seeing her expression, Qi Jinghuan knew what she was thinking at the moment, reached out and grabbed her hand and put it on the palm, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I can remember, I want to give you the most memorable birthday." ā€

The most memorable birthday, wasn't the birthday three years ago the most memorable? She withdrew her hand suddenly, turned her head away, and spoke with difficulty; "Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs, how can the slave and maid bother you?"

Qi Jinghuan put his mouth to his ear, "You can hurry up, I have already arranged it, if you don't go, won't it be a waste of my heart." ā€

Without waiting for Shen You'an to react, he took her hand and walked outside.

The emperor wanted to go out of the palace to observe the people's feelings, so naturally no one stopped him, and when he got to the carriage, Qi Jinghuan took the clothes that had been prepared on the side and handed them to Shen You'an; "I'm going to change my clothes."

Shen Youan hugged the clothes handed over by Qi Jinghuan, and instantly turned red from her ears to her neck, Qi Jinghuan saw that she didn't move for a long time, and glanced sideways at her; "Hurry up, I won't peek."

After finishing speaking, he turned his face around decently and looked straight ahead, Shen Youan's face was about to drip blood, how could there be such a thing, he sat beside him, how could she change her clothes.

Qi Jinghuan saw that she was still sitting there with her head bowed with her clothes in her arms, and urged; "Hurry up and change it, it's almost here, if you don't change it, you will have to go to the place, and it's not appropriate to wear palace clothes when you leave the palace."

Shen Youan just lowered his head and didn't speak, his ears were all red, and Qi Jinghuan was a little self-conscious, pointing to himself; "You're not trying to get me to avoid it."

Shen Youan's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

Qi Jinghuan was not good in an instant, quite a bit like he could turn his face immediately, Shen Youan pouted slightly, as if he was coquettish, Qi Jinghuan immediately turned his face unnaturally, and coughed unnaturally; "Okay, okay, I'm going outside, you hurry."

Shen Youan immediately showed a smile, and there was a smug look in the corner of his eyes, Qi Jinghuan reached out and pinched her face, and then walked out.

Shen Youan stretched out his head to confirm that he had walked outside, and said uneasily; "Your Majesty, I'll call you when the slave is ready."

It means that you don't trespass in, Qi Jinghuan's face that was still smiling immediately collapsed again.

Shen Youan lowered her head and unconsciously hooked the corners of her lips, and then she was a little embarrassed, but she still used a little trick, but she didn't expect that one day she would be able to be coquettish to people other than her father.

She unfolded the clothes handed over by Qi Jinghuan and looked at them, and then cautiously wanted to look outside, she just stretched out her head when she heard Qi Jinghuan's voice; "If you don't hurry up, I'll be in."

Her hands trembled, and she hurriedly began to change her clothes, but there was still a master sitting outside, this master was uncertain, and now he went out willingly, and when he couldn't tell him, he broke in, she took off her clothes, and said uneasily; "Your Majesty, the slave is undressing, and she hasn't dressed yet, don't come in."

"I'll go in if I don't talk any more."

This sentence was obviously quite threatening to Shen Youan, who had already taken off her clothes, at least she didn't continue to speak.
