A wisp of green smoke rose from the small copper incense burner, with a faint fragrance of lotus flowers.
On each side of the incense burner sat a man, one the owner of the Qing Heng Court and the other a frequent guest at night.
There was silence all around, only the sound of falling children echoed in the empty night from time to time, until Zhao Fangqi could no longer leave a son and opened his mouth to lose, and this oppressive silence was broken.
"Marquis Jing, what do you think the emperor is thinking?" Even if he loses the game, Zhao Fangqi does not have the impetuousness at the beginning.
"I don't know." The landscape is calm.
Zhao Fangqi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and thought: It turns out that you also don't know about it.
"Why did the emperor refuse the beauty sent to the door by King Loulan, and why did Loulan borrow 100,000 troops from my Daqin?" Zhao Fangqi asked again, "Does Marquis Jing know?" ā
Zhao Fangqi looked at him expectantly, but saw that he opened his lips very calmly and slowly: "I don't know~"
"I don't know, so what's going to happen?" Zhao Fangqi didn't know if he was asking about the landscape or himself.
The landscape took Zhao Fangqi's sunspot and fell straight down.
Zhao Fangqi thought that he was unintentional, but after a closer look, he found that the large black chess pieces that he thought were frozen had become a living dragon after the landscape was so connected, occupying most of the qi.
The black dragon has become a leaping momentum, and the white son is unstoppable.
Zhao Fangqi stared at the chess game in shock, he actually saved the defeat of the sunspot with one son.
"Since you don't know the reason, let's ask for it yourself."
The deep voice of the landscape pulled him out of his disbelief, only to see him look at himself even more puzzled, as if to say, 'Are you stupid for me?' How could the emperor tell the reason as soon as he asked?'
Jingjing stretched out his hand and motioned for him to come forward and listen, and Zhao Fangqi hurriedly put his ear forward......
The night breeze blew, but it did not alleviate the heat of the summer night, only the insects in the grass or under the trees began to chirp more and more hoarsely, and the noisy people were distraught and could not sleep.
In the Great Qin Palace, I don't know how many people can't sleep at this time.
Tonight was like a summer day to release all its wild heat, and everyone seemed to be enveloped in a thick wave of heat, dreary and hot, as if it would take more strength to breathe in a big gulp.
So, some people simply gave up the idea of sleeping, and sat at the mouth of the crossroads where the air was very smooth, and some people woke up in the middle of the night, the mats were soaked, and some people soaked themselves in the well water......
For many people, this is destined to be a sleepless night, and they have to pick up their spirits and serve their ancestors the next day.
But for some people, this day is no different from the past, if there is any difference, that is, the ice is used more, and in the second half of the night, you may have to cover it with a thin quilt.
In addition to Li Di, there are a total of 157 serious masters in the palace, regardless of the level of rank.
Among them, the highest is Ji Chenxu, and the lowest is fifty attendants.
In addition to the servants, there will be three hundred people who hold official positions in the palace.
does not live in the palace, but leads the foreign servants of the moon in the Sansi Mansion, more than 2,000 people.
At the bottom of the line are the waiters, with nearly 3,000 unranked waiters.
With so many people in the Great Qin harem, you can imagine how big the daily expenses are.
But as soon as Li Yan came in, she had the idea of rectifying the harem, and she made it clear that Ji Chenxu, who was in charge of the affairs of the harem, made a request to reduce expenses.
Ji Chenxu got the imperial decree, how can there be a reason not to obey, it is naturally implemented honestly, but the biggest drawback of the feudal dynasty will jump out when you don't know it, scaring you.
The hierarchy of Daqin is strict, and Ji Chenxu ordered all the following aspects to reduce expenditures, but everyone knows that what is reduced is the expenditure on the account book, and what is reduced is the money of the people below.
Those who are used to being arrogant and extravagant on weekdays still live as usual.
Therefore, Li Yan knew that the account book was correct and the data was correct, but the people below were squeezed dry in vain.
But from the day she said she was going to cut expenses, she had anticipated the situation today, so she felt guilty, but she had to swallow it at this time.
And from this night on, many waiters found that some of the waiters who were seriously ill and had no money to see a doctor and take medicine suddenly disappeared.
Some people say that they have gone home and will never have to suffer here again, and some people mysteriously say that they will never come back~
Not all the waiters want to take the opportunity to climb up, most of them are children of ordinary families, and they can endure the hardships and suffering.
Most of them hope to spend their thirtieth birthday in the palace, and when they leave the palace, they can marry and live freely.
These people often have a certain amount of contacts because they have been in the palace for a period of time, and they don't need to worry too much about their careers at that time.
Therefore, if they encounter bullying, they will eventually swallow their anger for the time being in order to protect themselves, and endure the crushing of their superiors without saying a word.
And there is another group of people, they don't have the slightest desire to compete for favor, but they can't let go of the glory and wealth in the palace. So they would look for a way around, and they would beg for favors, just to win a half-official position in the palace, to find a place to make a living, and to stay in the palace after the age of thirty.
This kind of person usually does everything to flatter and curry favor with his superiors, and the subordinates are the best betrayal partners.
The last one is to sharpen the head and rush forward, maybe it is the family's request, maybe it is their own desire for power, or it may be true love for the empress (the probability of this situation is zero).
This kind of person has an extremely high degree of cooperation with the orders of his superiors.
When these three kinds of people suddenly heard different versions of the news of the disappearance of the waiter, their reactions naturally differed.
The pursuit of freedom and stability is naturally at the risk of everyone, and they are more cautious than usual.
