Chapter Ninety-Four: The Man Behind the Scenes
The main hall of the palace shoji
"I've seen Miyamasa-sama!" The female officials of the Gong Zhengsi saluted Zhu Yanxi's blessing body with a brush, this is Zhu Yanxi, the first time that she is serious, and she appears in the palace Zhengsi.
"Get up!" Zhu Yanxi said lightly, and looked at the group of female officials below, according to the configuration of the Gong Zhengsi, the Gong Zheng Division, the Gong Zheng one, the Si Zheng one, the two Dianzheng, the four Zhangzheng, and the remaining twenty female histories, and now, this Gong Zhengsi, except for himself, has only one Dianzheng, and the rest of the people are just little female histories.
Zhu Yanxi leaned lazily on the back of the chair, her beautiful eyes looked forward to it, and then she lowered her head and smiled: "This official sees, there are many vacancies in the position of this palace director, since this official has officially taken office today, then, you must also remember the rules of this official for me." ”
"Yes!" The echo of Qi brushing responded to Zhu Yanxi's words.
"This official doesn't care about the previous palace Zhengsi, if he does things under this official, he must have one heart, ugly words, I can say in the front, if someone eats inside and outside, or leaks a word and a half of the case that the palace Zhengji is dealing with to other palace masters and palace people, this official will be killed directly!" Zhu Yanxi's words made everyone below feel a little uneasy, as early as Zhu Yanxi's promotion to the position of this palace leader, the parents of the family, more or less, knew that this Miss Zhu was just a soft temper, today, seeing such a Zhu Yanxi, made everyone who was originally excited feel worried.
"Of course~" Zhu Yanxi's words turned around, and the next words slowly spit out, "This palace is also in need of more capable people to supplement the position of this division, canon and palm, the official has only one principle, and the capable live in it, of course, among them, conduct is the first principle considered by the official." ”
Zhu Yanxi's words were like a stone thrown into the calm lake, breaking the tranquility and causing ripples.
For the people of the palace department, this palace is the department, except for a Liu Dianzheng, no one has a position above the rank, compared with the palace maid, the female history is just a little higher than the ordinary palace maid, and she is always a palace maid, and the palm is different, there is a grade, there is a good fortune, and she is a small female official, the palace people in the harem, when they see it, they also need to salute, which is the hope for them!
The palace maid of the harem, either out of the palace at the end of the term, or lonely in the harem, lucky, was favored by the emperor, became a master, but after all, after all, there is no strong background and family, after all, it is just a tragedy, and the only way out is to live in the female official, there is a better Lu Lu, you can have the right to self-determination, accumulate a certain amount of savings, resign and return to your hometown, not to be the same as the palace maid, can only find ordinary people to marry. There is a better choice, a better match for a husband, and naturally the best way out.
At present, except for Liu Dianzheng, no one in the palace is able to be promoted and appreciated, and as soon as this Zhu Gongzheng came, he intimidated everyone so much, and also concisely informed his plans, how many people were ready to raise their eyebrows.
Only Liu Dianzheng flashed displeasure in his eyes. This damn Zhu Yanxi, because of her appearance, she lost the opportunity to be in charge of the palace Zhengsi, even Concubine Li Niangniang planned for herself step by step Si Zheng, and because of this Gong Zheng's position, it can no longer be controlled by Li Concubine, Gong Zheng Gong Zheng, the highest leader of the Palace Zheng Division, the appointment of personnel, in addition to the direct appointment of the queen mother, can only be appointed by Gong Zheng, this power is next to it, and this group of women are eyeing each other, how can they not hate.
Zhu Yanxi's eyes swept over, and naturally he did not leave this Liu Dianzheng's expression, and the female history below was eager to try, it seems that this female official is really attractive.
"Okay, there's nothing to do for the time being, Nan Xian, let's go see Wei Jieyu." Zhu Yanxi waved his hand, walked out of the palace Zhengsi, and walked towards Wei Jieyu's palace, this time, Zhu Yanxi was no longer anxious, this time, he had.
"Greetings to your Excellency"
An hour later
When Zhu Yanxi looked lost and walked out of Wei Jieyu's palace, the people who were watching from afar ran away in an instant.
"Nanxian, I'll be out of the palace in a while, inside the palace, you pay more attention." Zhu Yanxi lowered her voice and instructed.
"Miss, don't worry."
Looking at the dust tower outside the palace
Zhu Yanxi was dressed in civilian clothes, stepped in slowly, and met Mo Taihao's gaze, God, it is really a narrow road, Zhu Yanxi raised his eyebrows with a little headache.
With his head down, pretending not to see the ground, he turned straight and turned into the staircase, just as he was about to step up the stairs, when a charming voice came from behind him.
"Miss Yan Xi, what a coincidence." Mo Taihao pretended to be a coincidence, evoking Zhu Yanxi, God knows that Zhu Yanxi Dao, since Zhu Yanxi likes to visit Wangchen Building from time to time, he is here every day, waiting to catch Zhu Yanxi, thinking of that day, this Chunhualou, my heart is on fire.
And this woman, when she saw herself, actually turned a blind eye and wanted to ignore herself and go upstairs.
Stopping the steps that were about to step up the stairs, Zhu Yanxi put on a smile and turned to look back, "Lord Hao, what a coincidence." "Acting, who wouldn't, Zhu Yanxi muttered.
"It's a coincidence." With a voice of gnashing teeth, Mo Taihao smiled, "However, this king has always thought that he has to thank Miss Xie Yan for her hospitality that day." ”
With a smile, his eyes flashed, and Zhu Yanxi said seriously: "It is an honor to be able to share the worries of the prince and change the prince's opinion." If the prince does not dislike it, Yan Xi still has many good places to go, which can make the prince feel good. Looking at Zhu Yanxi's deferential face, Mo Taihao smiled secretly, if he still asked her to introduce a good place, I was afraid, I was afraid that it would be unknown if it was sold.
"However, this king is curious, how does this Miss Yan Xi know the way of Lu, so good to go." Mo Taihao's good words, but he gritted his teeth and said it.
"My fair lady and gentleman are good, this face is pity, and I also like to appreciate beauty, why can't I know the way?" Zhu Yan took a thousand pounds of land and brought it over.
"That kind of place, can you go as a young lady?" Mo Taihao was a little unhappy when he heard Zhu Yanxi say this, the land of fireworks, this Zhu Yanxi, but no one dared to dare.
It's just that this man's happy place, thinking of Zhu Yanxi coming and going from time to time, he feels his heart is stuffy.
"What the prince said is not right." Zhu Yan cherished his blessings, "I don't know if the prince of Lu Dao, do you mind this room?" ”
Zhu Yanxi naturally didn't meet Mo Taihao to go in, it's just that between these two people, he has been standing at the staircase where people come and go, which has attracted the attention of too many people.
"Since Miss Yan Xi is kindly invited, and this king has never been able to bear to refuse the invitation of a beautiful woman." Mo Taihao blinked and walked up the stairs.
"The prince is really good at laughing." Zhu Yanxi just nodded slightly, and followed Mo Taihao, he would not be careful to think that this Mo Taihao was making fun of himself when he said this, but it was just a habitual expression.
It's just that for Mo Taihao, this is not a habitual term, although Zhu Yanxi's appearance is ordinary, but the more she comes into contact, the easier it is to get lost, her smile, and even her bad intentions make people feel that there is a unique temperament, which is attracting herself, obviously she has only seen it once, and she is looking forward to being here, waiting for ten days.
On that day, the woman with her also had a little cunning and bad intentions, and her appearance was even more beautiful in the world, but she always felt that she was missing Zhu Yan and cherished something, and she threw away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and Mo Taihao told herself that she had just met a different woman, which made her rare curiosity, and she was also the first woman who ignored herself so much, yes, it must be like this.
But Zhu Yanxi appeared on the second floor, and the two walked into the side room one after the other, and the guy was slightly stunned, and then ran to the other room.
Pushing open the door of the side room, Zhu Yanxi smiled lightly, "Today was originally an appointment with friends to get together again, but I never thought that I would meet the prince, how about Yan Xi being the east?" ”
Zhu Yanxi's words hinted at Mo Taihao, if you know each other, you should hurry up, it's just...
Mo Taihao strode into the wing, lifted the hem of his clothes, sat on the chair, raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Could it be that day, the young lady who is beautiful and fragrant? ”
Zhu Yanxi lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "The prince's memory is quite good~"
"It's not easy for such a woman to forget." Mo Taihao pretended to be frivolous, Zhu Yanxi naturally didn't think that this was his heart, the world-famous military advisor Wang Ye's side, how could there be no national beauty Tianxiang who took the initiative to send it to the door?
Zhu Yan didn't answer, and changed the topic: "Lord Wang, this drunken chicken in the Tower of the Dust City is a must, but the Lord wants to try it?" ”
"Yan Xi recommends it like this, this king naturally wants to try it well." Mo Taihao is familiar with it, Miss Yan Xi has shrunk to Yan Xi, Zhu Yan Xi can't help but despise it in her heart, she and him are not so familiar.
Zhu Yanxi explained a few words, and the dishes one after another were quickly served, and this Mo Taihao was enthusiastic, "Well, not bad." Come, Yan Xi, you eat and see. ”
The corners of Zhu Yanxi's mouth trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, this Mo Taihao is really cheeky enough, "Lord Wang, you don't say anything~"
"That's all stubborn dogma, Yan Xi also believes it, come on, eat this." Another big chicken leg and put it in his own bowl.
Zhu Yanxi was still calm, and put the rice bowl on the table, "Lord Wang, you eat slowly, Yan Xi should also go." ”
"Yan Xi's friend, this king is very curious, it's better for this king to accompany you..."
"The princess of this king is not worried about my cousin." The cold words came out of the door, dressed in a silver-white robe, on Tuoba Yuanqiong's body, but there was no Zongzheng Wuhe's immortal fluttering, but it set off Tuoba Yuanqiong's loneliness and arrogance to the fullest.
Zhu Yanxi felt Tuoba Yuanqiong's anger, turned his head and smiled, "Why is the prince here." ”
For Tuoba Yuanqiong's behavior of hugging him in public, I am afraid, if he resists now, this man, I don't know what to do, since the resistance is ineffective, why increase right and wrong in vain, Zhu Yan regretted it and let Tuoba Yuanqiong hug him.
"I haven't seen you for a year, but my cousin is getting more and more heroic." Looking at Tuoba Yuanqiong's hand on Zhu Yanxi's waist, Mo Taihao retracted his eyes, still with that evil smile, and said hello to Tuoba Yuanqiong.
Damn, Zhu Yanxi frowned, she only cared about staying away from this Mo Tai Hao, but she forgot, this Lan Huang Guifei, isn't she the sister-in-law of the Emperor of Lan today, this Mo Tai Hao, naturally and Tuoba Yuanqiong, are relatives. I actually realized it in hindsight, but after thinking about it, this Mo Taihao and Tuoba Yuanqiong are related, and if they don't do it, they can save a lot of trouble.
And Mo Taihao looked at Tuoba Yuanqiong, and was a little surprised. As soon as he arrived in Guizhu Country, he heard Tuoba Yuanqiong's deep affection for Zhu Yanxi, and even knew that the inner courtyard of the palace was desperate to save the beauty, and he only thought that he was falsely rumored and exaggerated.
"If this king doesn't come, I'm afraid that this king's princess will be pried away, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"
"Do you think Miss Ben's heart is so easy to give?" Zhu Yanxi learned Tuoba Yuanqiong's words and returned the mouth as it was.
"Ha Lu Ha~" Tuoba Yuanqiong smiled happily, Zhu Yanxi's words were not only reassuring himself, but also like a confession, how could he not make himself feel clear, of course, Tuoba Yuanqiong directly ignored what he had said.
Tuoba Yuanqiong's laughter made Zhu Yan regret it, and glared at Tuoba Yuanqiong coquettishly, but the two ignored the existence of this Mo Taihao.
"Ahem~"
Mo Taihao looked at Tuoba Yuanqiong and Zhu Yanxi with a playful face, smiled brightly, and motioned for the two to continue.
Letting go of Zhu Yanxi, Tuoba Yuanqiong looked displeased to be disturbed, sat down steadily, picked up Zhu Yanxi's plate and chopsticks, and ate it, Mo Taihao flashed stunned, this Tuoba Yuanqiong, Zhu Yan is in his heart, and he has reached the point where he can be with chopsticks, it can be seen that the feelings for Zhu Yanxi are deeper than what he guessed, and the Motai royal family has a strange habit, that is, they don't like to be filthy and stained, this point, Tuoba Yuanqiong is no exception, but this situation is unexpected.
Zhu Yan cherished his blessing, "The two princes are reminiscing, Yan Xi will not bother, Yan Xi still has something to do, so he retired first." ”
Tuoba Yuanqiong just glanced at Yan Xi, continued his lunch, and squinted at Mo Taihao, "Why are you here?" The death of the mother concubine is still half a month. ”
Since the death of Emperor Lan's concubine, it has been eleven years, and at this time of year in Tianlan Kingdom, there will be a prince of the family who comes to pay respects, I don't know when the road will be, and Mo Tai Hao, since five years ago, come every year, and it is precisely because of this that between Tuoba Yuanqiong and Mo Taihao, they are also enthusiastic with each other, equal, and sympathetic, as brothers and friends, Mo Taihao knows how to Tuoba Yuanqiong.
Picking up the wine glass, Mo Taihao pointed the mouth of the cup to Tuoba Yuanqiong, and then drank it all, Tuoba Yuanqiong also looked indifferent, added wine to his wine glass, and drank it all.
"I've heard a lot about you, why haven't I heard you say it before, if you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have thought about my future brothers and sisters." Mo Taihao smiled, shaking the wine in the wine glass.
Sure enough, Tuoba Yuanqiong was dangerous, squinting his eyes, "Even now, it's not too late." ”
"It seems that this rumor is true, but a joke can make you, a cold-hearted prince who has not moved for hundreds of years, angry, and Zhu Yanxi's influence should not be underestimated~"
"Remember, I said, the person who saved me five years ago?" Tuoba Yuanqiong snorted coldly disdainfully.
"Remember~" Mo Taihao stopped his chopsticks, "Could it be Zhu Yanxi?" ”
Seeing Tuoba Yuanqiong nodded, Mo Taihao held his forehead with one hand and shook his head with a sigh: "Unexpectedly, you Tuoba Yuanqiong also has a life-saving grace that cannot be repaid, so you can only have the discipline of being a promise." ”
Completely ignoring Mo Taihao's self-conscious performance, Tuoba Yuanqiong continued to eat.
No one cooperated, and Mo Taihao naturally couldn't act in this scene, so he put away his smile, "However, do you know who she is?" Got it? "Mo Tai Hao Si and Zhu Yan cherish the inconsistencies between the past and the future, and they can't help but worry that the Tuoba Yuanqiong authorities are confused.
"What do you think?"
"I'm not you, how do I know you, who knows who you like in your mind, let me tell you, she is not as simple as you see."
"Uh-huh~" Tuoba Yuanqiong's sword eyebrows raised slightly, not impressed, Mo Taihao saw this expression, and knew that he was worried in vain.
"I say, when did you find out?"
"Do you know Lu Dao, what is the reason for the entry of the princess of the palace, and you know the wedding of Tuoba Weijun, looking at Zhu Yanxi, who has always been a victim, can you still figure it out?" Mo Taihao heard about this Yan Xi and his own affairs early, and naturally he would have one more heart to pay attention to Yan Xi, not to mention, this Yan Xi, it seems that he has also had contact with Mo Taihao, looking at Mo Taihao's appearance, it has risen like this, no matter what, Yan Xi's matter, he will definitely go back to pay attention, and during this time, in addition to his own and Yan Xi's affairs, he is only afraid of the most, that is, after being abandoned, he was intervened halfway, and the prince married someone else's gossip.
What Tuoba Yuan Qiongsi and Zhu Yanxi did to the two of them, the corners of their mouths were filled with doting smiles, for these two people who peeked at Yan Xi, I felt that this end was quite good.
After many years of brotherhood, they don't need to talk much to each other, Tuoba Yuanqiong's words, Mo Taihao was surprised, but then he thought of what Zhu Yanxi did to himself, as well as the black-hearted liver in the public, but he felt that it was understandable.
"I remember, this is too scheming woman, you are far away."
"I also remember that you don't care about such a woman." Tuoba Yuanqiong coldly threw the words back.
Mo Taihao shook his head, "It's all heavy sex and light friends, I think, you are a living example, this person has not been married yet, he is spoiled like this, it is said that you don't even want your life, rush into the sea of fire, Tuoba Yuanqiong, do you know Lu Dao, what are you doing?" ”
"Zhilu Dao."
"What if~"
"No in case." Tuoba Yuanqiong stood up indifferently, "By the way, has that news been found out?" ”
"I checked, and sure enough, it was spread by Tuoba Weijun himself, it seems that he is bound to win the throne." Mo Taihao saw that Tuoba Yuanqiong was unwilling to talk more about Yan Xi, so he had to give up.
"That's what you have to do." Tuoba Yuanqiong snorted disdainfully.
"However, I really can't imagine that for the sake of this throne, even my own life experience can be made up, and I really do everything." Mo Taihao shook his head, the two people standing side by side, one cold and arrogant, the other evil and frivolous, you and I are talking about something.
And on the other side, Zhu Yanxi, who left, pushed open the side room, only seeing Sikong Bo alone, but there was no trace of Qing'er.
"It's strange, the lover didn't come?" Zhu Yanxi asked.
"Yan Xi saw me, so unwelcome? It's really sad~" Sikong Bo's hurt expression made Zhu Yanxi laugh, "Brother Sikong, you can save it, why are you like this, I have goosebumps when I see it?" ”
"You're going to hurt me, beautiful man, aren't you opening your eyes and talking nonsense when you say this? Hey, I know that I am right, with Tuoba Yuanqiong, where are you still looking up to my clear water tofu, making evil. Sikong Bo was so heartbroken that he almost didn't shed tears to show his grief.
Zhu Yanxi directly ignored Sikong Bo's hard performance, and looked at Sikong Bo with a calm face, there is a big one, you just pretend, I see how you pretend to be.
Sitting on the side, Zhu Yanxi picked up the teacup casually, sniffed the fragrance of the tea, nodded with satisfaction, flushed it into the pot with boiling water, slowly covered the tea lid, lined up the small teacups one by one, and then poured the tea into the small teacup, cleaned the teacup, glanced at Sikong Bo, who was still loading, lifted the teapot and poured it back and forth, pinched the small teacup and took a sip of tea, and enjoyed it with a face.
"Yan Xi, you have no conscience." Sikong Bo saw that the tea had been brewed, and finally stopped the drama, and unceremoniously, picked up the teacup and drank it.
"The first day you knew me? Conscience? There hasn't been. Zhu Yanxi said with a smile.
"That's why you don't think so, who doesn't keep flaunting their goodness?" Sikong Bo put away his joking gesture, "If you asked the secret guard to find Xiao Nan overnight, you asked me to check, and I found out." ”
Zhu Yanxi raised her head, she was always relieved about the efficiency of the Dust Pavilion, and said with a shallow smile: "Isn't it, the same as I guessed?" ”
"Indeed, this Wei Jieyu has been trained for three years before entering the palace."
"Is it Concubine Xia Xian or Concubine Yu?"
Sikong Bo shook his head, "It's the Queen Mother!" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yanxi stopped making tea, it was actually the Queen Mother, Liu Mei frowned, she had always regarded all this as a means of jealousy in the harem, but she forgot the Queen Mother, after all, in addition to not liking her mother, after breaking up her mother and the emperor, she didn't like herself, but she never thought that the person behind this only Jieyu was the Queen Mother!
"Moreover, I touched the melon field along the vine, and also pried out the person held by the Queen Mother, guess who?" Sikong Bo sells Guanzi.
Zhu Yanxi thought about it for a while, and the one who was not liked by the Queen Mother seemed to be Concubine Yu!
Sure enough, in Sikong Bo's words, he verified his guess, Zhu Yanxi smiled mockingly, this harem, what you see, may not be true, really, who has seen it, these people are not simple.
Zhu Yanxi asked: "However, the affairs of the Queen Mother should not be so easy to detect, how can the Dust Pavilion be so fast..."
"Sometimes, you don't need to be by the Queen Mother's side, you just need to be arranged with the Queen Mother's most trusted person." Sikong Bo said: "The Queen Mother has henchmen, and her henchmen naturally have henchmen, and this slave, no matter how much she is treated, she will also have a belly full of grievances, do you say?" ”
Zhu Yan nodded regretfully, "By the way, Brother Sikong, the fake you were asked to make last time, is there an eyebrow?" ”
"I'm about to bring it to you~" The delicate jewelry box was placed on the table by Sikong Bo.
Zhu Yanxi opened the box, the lifelike hairpin, introduced into the eye, and took out the hidden in his sleeve, and it was exactly the same, "I really can't see what are the similarities and differences between this and this." Zhu Yanxi exclaimed.
"That's natural, I don't want to think about it, I do it myself, can there be a fake?" Sikong Bo boasted to himself.
"Thank you, Brother Sikong, I have to go first, this matter is getting more and more interesting." Zhu Yanxi said happily.
said goodbye to Sikong Bo, and hurriedly prepared to return to the palace~
------Off topic------
Recently, many people persuaded me to write hastily, hey, it's a sad rhythm~
