The smile on Xue Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he leaned over to look at her slightly: "It's always uneasy for people to do things at the bottom, and besides, the minister hasn't seen the emperor for a day, what's the matter?" Doesn't the emperor want to see his ministers? He stared at her elegant women's clothes, and his expression was slightly in a trance, as if the child had grown up overnight and had become a charming girl

Jiang You unscrewed his body uncomfortably, and said in a stiff voice: "Why are you embarrassed to trouble the palm print?" ”

Xue Yuan came back to his senses, opened the umbrella and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "What is the relationship between the minister and the emperor, what is the trouble?" ”

These words aroused people's imagination, Jiang You's expression stiffened again, and he wanted to take a few steps away from him, but he didn't dare to go too far, for fear that he would be annoyed again.

Xue Yuan took the initiative to lean over, ignoring her dodging, and pulled her into the palace gate with one hand, he held an umbrella on her head, and asked casually: "Is the emperor playing well today?" ”

Jiang You nodded casually, thinking of Han Dayjin, his heart jumped for a while, he raised his eyes to look at Xue Yuan's expression, and whispered, "I saw King Linchuan again today." ”

Xue Yuan sighed: "He just set up a villa near Princess Changping's courtyard a few days ago, I don't know why he suddenly ran out to hunt today." He looked down at her with a smile: "Why did the emperor say this?" ”

Jiang You avoided his gaze and muttered in a low voice, "How do I know? The corners of her mouth moved, and she suddenly sighed: "Actually, I also know that Han Tianjin may not have any good intentions, last time the agricultural sacrifice" She thought of what happened with Xue Yuan in the palace, and paused in horror before speaking: "The trick he made, even if I didn't see it at the time, I can feel that something is wrong when I think about it afterwards." ”

In fact, as soon as she returned to the palace, she felt that something was wrong, but Xue Yuan came too quickly, and before she had time to sort out her thoughts, she was dragged to the bed by him.

Xue Yuanjue felt that the hand he was holding was oozing a thin layer of sweat, shook it gently, and only when he saw her come back to his senses did he say: "It's all ministers, it's not that the ministers were too anxious that day, which shocked the emperor." ”

She has experienced a lot of bumps when she grows up, but it must be the first time she has experienced that kind of experience, and she must be scared a lot, which untrained girl can stand that kind of wind. Moon battle? What's more, she is still the emperor, and she is more afraid and angry than embarrassed.

It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned Jiang You, he felt that there were layers of chestnuts all over his body, and he muttered vaguely in his mouth: "This, there's nothing to say" She coughed lightly: "The palm print is always a courtier, and there is a difference between a monarch and a minister, even if I believe in you, it is better to pay attention to some things." ”

Xue Yuan lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes were full of autumn water, the smile on his face did not decrease, and his little finger gently sketched in her palm: "How much does the emperor trust the ministers?" Is there enough trust to be entrusted for life? ”

Jiang You's palms were itchy, his body trembled, and he reluctantly said after a while: "Ordinary women are like willows, and they have to find arbors to rely on, I am the emperor, my life is extremely expensive, and I don't need to entrust my life to others." ”

Xue Yuan saw the unruly expression on her bright and bright little face, his heart moved, and he couldn't resist the urge to hold her in his arms and love her wantonly, and smiled slightly: "What the emperor said is" He stared at her for a while: "Since the emperor is an arbor, the minister is willing to be a willow, I don't know if the emperor is willing to let the minister rely on it?" ”

Jiang You's face was ugly again, and he pointed to the front and changed the topic stiffly: "The Qianqing Palace has arrived, and the palm print has not returned?" ”

Xue Yuan followed her into the palace: "The minister sent the emperor in and left." ”

Jiang You was about to refute, but when he turned his head, he saw that his shoulders were wet, and his originally meticulously combed hair was moistened and pasted against his cheeks, with a kind of misty beauty. Only then did she realize that most of the umbrella was on top of her head, and she swallowed it back if she was about to refuse, and said in a low voice: "Drink a bowl of ginger soup with palm prints and go back." ”

Xiangyin was careful, ordered someone to prepare ginger soup early, and divided two bowls to serve to the two, Jiang You was uncomfortable drinking at him, looking at him while stirring the spoon, Xue Yuan drank it unhurriedly, and tucked the corners of his mouth with a silk: "The emperor is waiting for the minister to feed you?" ”

Jiang You hurriedly picked up the bowl and took a sip, raised his eyes to look at Xue Yuan, and then looked at the door, the intention of sending off the guest was obvious.

Xue Yuan got up, suddenly unfolded his wide sleeves embroidered with cloud patterns, and took her in his arms.

Jiang You's face was covered by wide sleeves, his heart was beating wildly, and he was about to open his mouth to shout, when he felt his hot lips on her slightly cold cheeks, and muttered: "The emperor will grow up." After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand, raised his hand and touched her face: "The emperor looks good in this dress." Then he turned and left.

Jiang You watched him leave blankly, raised his hand and touched his face, but felt that his whole face was like a fire

With a "bang", the dragon head crutch in Mrs. Zhang's hand slammed into the ground, pointing at Zhang Dongnian, who was standing in the hall in panic, and said sharply: "You did a good thing!" She threw a wooden box in front of Zhang Dongnian: "Look at what this is?!" ”

'Click' The buckle of the wooden box was broken, and a hosta and a flower note rolled off inside, and on the flower note was a strong love word: 'Slightly revealing lilacs to people, a song, temporarily leading cherries to break' Zhang Dongnian saw it, and his face was flushed.

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "Sending you to Taixue was originally for you to study knowledge, I didn't expect you to recruit bees and butterflies, and tie up with other innocent women, and now that people are coming to the door, I think you should end up?!" ”

Zhang Dongnian knelt down in a panic, and the second lady Zhang on the side saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly bowed to her mother-in-law and said: "Mother, Nian'er's temperament is the most honest, how could such a thing happen, it must be that the woman saw that Nian'er was young and ignorant, so she deliberately lured and wanted to rely on our Zhang family, you have to be the master of Nian'er!" ”

Mrs. Zhang said sharply: "Don't stop talking!" A slap doesn't make a sound, even if the woman has inappropriate thoughts, Dongnian insists on not being fooled, what can she do with Dongnian as a woman?! She sneered again and pointed to the note: "You dare to say that this is not your son's handwriting?!" ”

Second Mrs. Zhang was so blocked that she couldn't speak, so she had to take out a silk to wipe her tears to buy time, and Mrs. Zhang sneered: "When the people from the Taixue Sacrifice Restaurant came to the door, I really didn't know where to put my old face, what face do you have to cry, the Zhang family has such a corrupt thing, I have no face to face Ting Yue and his father after I die, I want to cry!" ”

Second Lady Zhang paused with her hand covering her face with a silk and explained: "Since that woman casually fornicated with others, she is also a woman with no virtue, why didn't my mother send the people from the restaurant back directly?" lest you ruin the reputation of the young man. ”

Old Madam Zhang didn't even have the strength to be angry with her now, so she turned her head and looked at Zhang Dongnian directly: "Our Zhang family's family rules are strict, and the family can't let you spoil it, I have counted it with the people of the restaurant family, for the sake of today, only if you marry the girl from the restaurant family, this ugly thing can not pass." She took a deep breath and paused with crutches: "Although that girl is not moral, but fortunately, she treats you with affection and righteousness, her family is on the board, she didn't recruit you out, or the people of the restaurant tried their best to find out." ”

Zhang Dongnian panicked all of a sudden, his face was full of reluctance, such a woman with a low background, he was still willing to let him play at will, and he was extremely reluctant to let him take people home.

Second Mrs. Zhang wanted her son to marry highly, and when she heard this, she exclaimed: "This, this family affair is too different, how can a family like a restaurant be worthy of our family?!" ”

Old Madam Zhang glanced at her coldly: "Although Chen Xijiu's official position is not high, he is better than his family background, and that girl is his concubine. Female, and Nian'er are also a match, that girl is quite affectionate to Nian'er, and she can also have a harmonious family when she marries back. ”

Second Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly said: "Such a woman is just a concubine, if she is a wife, wouldn't it make the people next to her laugh at her?!" ”

Mrs. Zhang slapped the case hard: "The Zhang family doesn't dare to be a man, who let your good son do such a corrupt thing?!" She paused, and said indifferently: "I have already discussed with the sacrificial restaurant, and when the girl and Lu come to the door to propose, Nian'er just waits for the time to get married, and there is no need to ask about the others." ”

There was no room for turning around these words, Second Lady Zhang pulled the pale Zhang Dongnian and staggered around and retreated, Old Lady Zhang looked tired, but saw the curtain behind her open, Zhang Donglan came over with a bowl of soup, and said to Old Lady Zhang: "Grandmother taste this jujube japonica rice porridge." ”

Old Madam Zhang opened her eyes and looked at him directly, and only after a while did she say lightly: "You got rid of the emperor and went to look at the young lady of the Jinghai Hou family, did you see any results?" ”

Zhang Donglan's face froze for a moment: "Grandmother knows everything." He coughed and said abruptly: "Look, I saw it, but Miss Lin" He hesitated for a moment, and repeated the words and deeds of Miss Jinghai Hou.

Mrs. Zhang had a headache and said: "Such a temperament is indeed not a good housewife, but now there are not many suitable people in Beijing, most of them have already made appointments, and your eldest brother has already booked relatives, but unfortunately the girl from that family has just gone, so I had to re-elect, and there is no good one for a while, which is really hey." ”

Zhang Donglan said with a smile: "Grandmother relaxes, with the talent and character of the eldest brother, are you still worried that you can't find a good family?" He thought of the scene of that day and thought for a while: "Actually, my grandson thinks that Princess Changping is very good." ”

Old Madam Zhang glared at him, thinking of Changping's appearance, she was also a little moved, and then shook her head and said: "She is the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, even if she doesn't hold a grudge against our family, it is not much better than our family, in order to avoid the restlessness of the family, forget it." ”

In the hand-copying verandah outside, Second Lady Zhang had a look of hatred on her face: "This year, the time for the selection of the guards in front of the palace is almost here, I wanted to open the joint and send you in, so that I can be so close to the emperor, why are you so uncontrollable that you actually make such a fuss!" ”

Zhang Dongnian was full of indignation: "It's all grandmother who is too partial, didn't the eldest brother also have trouble with the county lord of Roufu, and I don't see my grandmother forcing the eldest brother to marry the county lord." ”

Second Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly at the main room: "Your grandmother has always been eccentric, let's not mention this first, you go back and think about breaking off the relationship with that woman, if she doesn't want to marry, then it has nothing to do with us, presumably your grandmother won't force you to marry her." ”

Zhang Dongnian's eyes lit up, and he bowed down and said yes

Jiang You sat in the Xiude Palace, frowning and listening to the report of the Shenji Battalion who was kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, it's not that the last general wants to complain, but that the household department is deducting the military salary, and the people below are about to be unable to open the pot, and the last general is helpless to find you directly, this military salary has been delayed for more than half a year, if it goes on like this, I am afraid of the army. The team is about to mutiny. ”

Of course, Jiang You knows the strict nature of arrears of military salaries, originally joining the army is nine deaths, if you can't even get the monthly military salary, who is willing to really give you your life? She frowned and said, "In the three major battalions, your military salaries are uneven, why is this?" ”

The general sighed: "The emperor doesn't know, the other battalions are just that, our Shenji battalion practices kung fu is different from other battalions, only when Emperor Chengzu is there, he pays attention to us, most of the other times are used as decorations, civil officials have long wanted to abolish it, every time the military salary is paid, it is in arrears for various reasons, the household department is pushed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is pushed to the Ministry of War!" ”

Jiang You frowned again and again when he heard this, but he also knew that it was not easy to pick money from the hands of civilian officials, and the military salary could not be delayed, so he lowered his head and thought about it: "For most of the military salary, I first came out of the palace house, and in a few days I will order someone to send it to you, and I will make up for this side first, and I will go back to discuss with the people in the household department." "From her grandfather to her father to her, these three emperors had no bad habits, so the money for internal affairs was very abundant, and it was more than enough to make up for the military salary.

When the general heard that she was willing to pay out of her own pocket, he was so happy that he kowtowed again and again, and hurriedly returned to the camp to report the good news.

Jiang You still kept an eye on it, and first ordered someone to find out the truth of the situation in the Shenji Camp, and then he started to prepare the silver, and Xiangyin saw that she was tired, and made her a cup of mint tea on the side; "The emperor drinks this refreshment."

Jiang You raised his eyes but saw a bruise on her wrist, so he hurriedly grabbed her wrist and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiangyin hurriedly retracted his hand, his eyes were a little astringent, and he smiled: "I accidentally knocked it when I was doing work a few days ago." ”

Jiang You sometimes has a rough mind, and when he heard her say this, he believed it, but he said distressedly: "Why don't you be careful, you can't do the stupid work by the people below." Seeing Xiangyin smiling, she paused and said, "You go and find Ma Cheng for me, I have something to ask him." ”

In the blink of an eye, Ma Cheng arrived in front of the palace, she had no concept of money, so she gave her personal supervision to the side too much, only knowing that she had a lot of silver, so she lowered her head and asked, "How much silver do I have now?" ”

Ma Cheng's face froze, and he said embarrassedly: "This slave doesn't know either." Seeing that Jiang You was about to get angry, he hurriedly replied: "Your silver is in the hands of the overseer himself, and the people next to him can't interfere, so the slave doesn't know!" ”

Jiang You's eyes widened: "What do you do to eat?" Let you take care of it, you will take care of it, and I'll be gone! She was half annoyed, half thinking of Xue Yuan's weak heart.

Ma Cheng smiled bitterly again and again: "This, this overseer insists on going, and the slave doesn't dare not give it." He said carefully, "The Overseer has commanded, if you are short of money, just ask him for it, and he will definitely not refuse to give it to you." ”

Jiang You thought of Xue Yuan's heart, he couldn't help but glare at him, got up and paced back and forth in the house for more than ten times, but decided to put state affairs first, stood up and went to Dongchang.

She brought some small snacks and tea on a tray at the door, opened the curtain and entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, sure enough, Xue Yuan sat on the wide desk and checked the accounts, raised his eyes and saw her coming, stood up and said half-salute: "Why is the emperor here?" ”

Jiang You saw that his posture was quite normal, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, put the tray in his hand aside, and said almost simply: "I came to see the palm print, what is the palm print doing?" ”

Xue Yuan smiled shallowly, and seemed to be much more polite overnight: "The minister is checking the accounts in the womb these days. He circled his gaze around her face, and felt that she was smiling a little flatteringly; Is there something wrong with the emperor? ”

Jiang You continued: "The palm print is like a god." ”

Xue Yuan sighed self-deprecatingly, and said sadly: "The East Ji Shichang is only a few steps away from the Qianqing Palace, and the ministers have never seen the emperor come up, if it weren't for something, the emperor would only be afraid that he would not set foot here half a step." ”

Jiang You's expression was sneering: "The general of the Shenji Battalion said that he was in arrears of military salaries, and I have promised him to make up for the military salary for half a year, Ma Cheng said that the silver for internal affairs is in the palm print, so I came over" Although it is her own silver, it is still a little awkward to ask others, she stopped her mouth in amazement.

Xue Yuan snorted, originally thinking about delaying for a few days, and then slowly trying to figure it out when she was out of breath, but she didn't expect the rabbit to hit her mouth directly, if she didn't eat it, she would be sorry for herself. He sighed: "Is the emperor asking his ministers for money?" He spoke slowly and in a long tone: "Although the emperor has a lot of money, it is all useful, and if the Shenji Battalion wants money, he only needs to go to the household department to ask for it, so what's the matter with letting the emperor pay for it himself?" ”

Jiang You had known him for so long, what did he mean when he heard this, he waved his hand weakly and said, "Palm print, this is not agreeing?" ”

Xue Yuan smiled slightly; "The emperor cares about the society, how can the minister disagree?" After he finished speaking, he stopped speaking, raised his hand and untied the three plackets on the collar, revealing the smooth collarbone line, and looked at Jiang You with a lazy and ambiguous expression.

Jiang You's face was a little green: "That's my silver!" ”

Xue Yuan looked at her sideways: "The minister naturally knows that it is the emperor's silver, why did the emperor say this?" He gently handed over a glance: "But all the silver has been used, and it can't be moved, if you have to wait until you have money left, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a year and a half." ”

The daylily has been cold for a year and a half, and she thinks that she can't do it now when she promises to be a general, and she panics in her heart. She couldn't help but say angrily: "This is a major matter of the family and country, how can palm prints be child's play?!" ”

Xue Yuan casually pulled the placket, but let the neckline open even more: "If the silver for internal affairs is short, the palace will inevitably be chaotic, how can the emperor favor one over the other?" His amorous eyes looked straight over, and he said in a casual voice: "But if the emperor is willing to sacrifice his life for the country, it is not impossible for the minister to squeeze out some silver." ”
