Chapter 063: Mole
The little eunuch stood aside, and what Qin Su said to Qin Shen could be heard clearly word for word.
In the front, he was telling the emperor to pay attention to his body, and as soon as the words changed, why did he get to this later?
The little eunuch can be an errand in the imperial study, naturally he is not a stupid person, listening to Qin Su's words later, his heart is cold, and his body trembles unconsciously.
Qin Shen straightened up his slightly thin body, glanced at the little eunuch with a blank look, and replied with a smile, "What Uncle Huang said is that the most indispensable thing in the palace is the person who uses it. ”
"Well, the emperor himself is transferred." After Qin Su finished speaking, he turned around and got off the Danqi, and then Liujing flashed out of nowhere, following behind Qin Su, and the figures of the two gradually walked away.
The little eunuch was already restless, but when he saw the flowing scene of the dragon appearing, he was suddenly shocked and sweated on his forehead.
Qin Shen held his hands behind his back and paced back and forth at the door of the imperial study. After a while, Qin Shen seemed to have a consideration, and when he turned around and stepped into the imperial study, he said to the little eunuch standing outside, "Come in, I have something to ask you." ”
"Huh." The little eunuch hurriedly covered the worry on his face, bowed over and followed Qin Shen into the imperial study.
Qin Shen sat cross-legged on the dragon couch and casually played with a Hainan pearl hanging from his waist.
After the little eunuch came in, he kept hunched over and didn't dare to make any movements, Qin Shen didn't speak, the more he waited, the more anxious he became.
"Your name is Qiao Xuanba?" Qin Shen's tone was calm, chatting casually with the little eunuch.
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave is called Qiao Xuan." The little eunuch Qiao Xuan's hunched body bent again.
"Hmm...... How many years have you been in the palace? Qin Shen smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"The slave is the palace that Xia Wunian entered in the spring of the fourth year, and it has been three and a half years."
"I don't think you're too old, but I didn't expect you to be an old man." Qin Shen said with a smile. "Do you still have family outside the palace?"
Qiao Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he paused for a moment before he said, "There is also an old mother in the family, and my brother has been married a few years ago. ”
Qin Shen nodded. said, "How did you think about entering the palace?" Isn't my mother worried? ”
"My mother's health has never been very good, and the slave's brother only relies on odd jobs to make a living, to see a doctor for my mother, and to support the slave, all of which rely on my brother alone. Later, the elder brother reached the age of marriage. But because the family was poor, no one was willing to marry in, so the slave decided to enter the palace. First, it can reduce the burden on the elder brother, and second, the slave enters the palace. The monthly monthly allowance is also a lot of money, and it can also subsidize the family. Qiao Xuan said slowly, and when he talked about his mother and brother, there was more longing in his tone.
"Well, you're a filial one." Qin Shen put down the Hainan Pearl in his hand, stretched out his legs, and leaned down, "You still have a fellow villager." It's an errand in the Loyal Waiting House. Qin Shen said lightly in an affirmative tone.
Qiao Xuan's arched body stiffened, and he suddenly raised his head in shock. His face was full of consternation. When he saw Qin Shen's smiling face, he realized that he had actually straightened up, and hurriedly lowered his head, not knowing how to reply.
"Since I can ask you here, it means that I don't plan to do anything to you. I guess you know what I want to do to you. There's no need to waste time here. Qin Shen smiled, and his eyes immediately darkened.
Qiao Xuan fell to his knees with a puff. kowtowed three times in a row, and said with a crying voice. "The minion thanks the emperor for not killing him."
"Alright, get up." Qin Shen said impatiently.
He always knew that there were traitors around him, and he also knew that it was either someone from the Empress Dowager or someone who was loyal to Hood. Only these two people will have the courage to plant spies around him.
In order not to startle the snake, Uncle Huang has not dealt with it since the investigation came out. Now that he said it clearly, he knew that the imperial uncle was suing him, and he could dispose of it with him.
He is not a ruthless emperor, it can be said that he is actually very indecisive in his heart. The people around him also knew that he, the emperor, was much easier to serve than the regent and the empress dowager.
He himself was annoyed, and for a time he thought he was unfit to be emperor. But Uncle Huang enlightened him and told him that for the sake of the superiors, killing and brutality are not good choices, and such a military rule will not last long. Only knowing how to make such people available to you, and using them properly, to rule the world with virtue, is the way of the emperor.
He didn't seem to understand it at the beginning, and it was only in the process of growing up that he understood what Uncle Huang said.
Qiao Xuan kowtowed a few more times, and then the wolf got up, hunched over and said nothing.
"I remember that you haven't made any big mistakes, and you still have a filial piety, so I don't plan to pursue you. But you can't be an errand boy with me, after all, I don't want to risk my own safety. Qin Shen had a heartbroken expression on his face, "I haven't scolded you harshly, and I won't embarrass you in the future, but you can't stay in this imperial study." ”
Qiao Xuan heard Qin Shen's words, tears suddenly flowed all over his face, and he felt even more guilty in his heart. secretly made up his mind that even if he couldn't be an errand by the emperor's side in the future, he would only have one master in his life.
"The slave knows that he has made a mistake, and even if he kills the minion, the slave is to blame. The emperor can forgive the minions, and the emperor is generous. The slave did not dare to expect to be forgiven by the emperor, and only wanted to serve the emperor in the next life. Qiao Xuan fell to his knees, this time as if he had made up his mind, and his tone of voice was full of firmness.
Qin Shen nodded, his tone slightly tired, "Go out, Hyde will arrange your errand." Since I said that I will not dispose of you, I will naturally keep your name. After speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned on the bright yellow brocade pillow, waved his hand, and motioned for Qiao Xuan to go out.
"Huh." Qiao Xuan got up, bent down and retreated.
When Qiao Xuan went out for a short time, Haide, the chief eunuch beside Qin Shen, walked in softly. Seeing Qin Shen pretending to be asleep, he paused and stood aside.
"Got it done?" Qin Shen didn't have a straight eye, and asked lightly.
"Back to the emperor, everything was dealt with, and the servants arranged people in the Internal Affairs Office. Following the head of the Internal Affairs Office, the Hou Mansion should not be able to see anything. Hyde knew what the emperor was asking, and said slowly and coherently.
"Well, you can do it, I don't worry." Qin Shen moved his body and said with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Hyde stepped forward very skillfully and added a jade pillow to Qin Shen behind his head, and said with a smile, "It is a blessing for a slave to be able to do things for the emperor." ”
Qin Shen smiled and squinted comfortably to take a nap.
……
After lunch, Shu Jinhua accompanied Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen to drink tea and chat in the main courtyard.
Several sisters were also there, in order to be considerate of the injured Shu Jinhua and the two, everyone sat around the Luohan bed in the warm pavilion, and Mrs. Chen sat in the innermost, and Shu Jinhua sat next to her. Shu Jinqi sat on the other side, and the other sisters sat around the edge of the bed, or moved the brocade stool to sit at the bottom.
Everyone talked and laughed, and there was laughter and laughter.
"Miss, Miss Wang of Jingguo Mansion handed over the post." Bi Jing walked into the warm pavilion softly, came to Shu Jinqi's side, and replied.
"Sister Wang is here? Please come in! Shu Jinqi clapped his hands and said happily.
Shu Jinhua also heard Bijing's words, stood up and asked Shu Jinqi, "Second sister, Sister Wang is here?" ”
"Yes, Bi Jing said that he handed the post in, and I will let Sister Wang come in." Shu Jinqi nodded, and turned to Old Madam Chen and the sisters around her, "Sister Wang is the eldest lady of the Jingguo Mansion, and she has a good relationship with me and Fei'er, and she often moves around. ”
"Well, since it's your handkerchief, then let your cousins also get to know each other, there are more people, and it's more lively." Old Madam Chen said with a smile and nodded incessantly.
"Mother is the more lively the happier." Mrs. Chen covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and joked with a smile.
Mrs. Chen was not annoyed, but became happier and smiled brighter. The sisters laughed and joked.
After a while, Bi Jing led Wang Wenrou into the warm pavilion, Shu Jinhua took the lead to get off the Luohan bed, walked towards Wang Wenrou, and all the sisters also got up to greet each other.
Wang Wenrou knew that the in-laws of the Shu family were guests, and when she saw a room of people, she was not too puzzled, but nodded to each other with a smile.
"Sister Wang, you're here." Shu Jinhua stepped forward and took Wang Wenrou's hand and said with a smile.
"Well, I heard that you had an accident yesterday, so I'm going to see you today. It just so happened that Mrs. Chen had entered Beijing and came to pay a visit. Are you all right? Wang Wenrou asked with concern.
Shu Jinhua shook his head and pulled Wang Wenrou forward, "It's okay, yesterday was a false alarm." ”
"Grandmother, this is Sister Wang." Shu Jinhua introduced.
"Wen Rou greets Old Madam Chen." Wang Wenrou bowed down and saluted Mrs. Chen.
"Hurry up, hurry up, Miss Wang doesn't have to be polite." Old Madam Chen gave a handful of hands and hurriedly said.
If you want to talk about Wang Wenrou's identity, it's okay to not salute when you see her.
"Wen Rou and Sister Shu are friends, and Mrs. Chen is Sister Shu's grandmother, so she is naturally Wen Rou's elder. Seeing that the elders did not salute and returned home, Wen Rou was about to be scolded by her grandfather and grandmother. Wang Wenrou said with a smile, which not only narrowed her relationship with the Shu family, but also expressed the attitude of the Jingguo Mansion towards the Chen family.
Although Mrs. Chen is old, her mind is not confused. After listening to Wang Wenrou's words, I suddenly felt that this girl was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
smiled and said three good, and immediately grabbed Wang Wenrou and said, looking like a grandfather and grandson.
Shu Jinhua couldn't cry or laugh, pouted and stepped forward, "Grandmother, you like Sister Wang so much, but you forgot about Fei'er?" ”
Old Madam Chen laughed, and flicked Shu Jinhua's forehead dotingly, "My little girl, why are you still jealous?" ”
"Why!" Shu Jinhua said helplessly, "You only cared about talking to Sister Wang, and forgot about us." ”
Old Madam Chen smiled and patted Shu Jinhua's hand, turned her head to Wang Wenrou and said, "Look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot to introduce you to this group of wild girls." ”
