Chapter 113 Gifts and condolences

Master Weng left the table on the way or others didn't pay attention, but Qin Shujiu could see it clearly, and he wrote it down in his heart, and then congratulated Liqing on his birthday and health. The family banquet and birthday also fell, and after drinking some fine wine, Qin Shujiu really felt a little dizzy.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival 15th His Majesty is naturally accompanied by the Qingning Palace of the Queen's mother, because there is no need to worry about Liqing coming to his own place on the way, Qin Shujiu is also casual, and he is supported by Nanzhi to return to the dormitory, and he is lying on the couch. The whole person lay softly on the couch, closed his eyes and closed his eyes, and let Nanzhi and the curtain serve.

While stripping his shoes and socks for Qin Shujiu, Nan Zhi said: "Today's limelight is also in my sister's place, thinking about your majesty today, even if you are in the queen's place, but your heart must be resting on your sister." He said with a smile, Nanzhi's words have not passed, because today it is Nanzhi serving Qin Shujiu, and the curtain can't help but ask before he sees the shocking dance at Qin Shujiu's birthday banquet. Nan Zhi also did his best, and knew everything about the palace banquet, that is, listening to Nan Zhi's detailed words, Qin Shujiu did not open his eyes or interject, but he suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Nan Zhi mention the song of Master Weng.

Because she was a little drunk, she almost forgot about Master Weng, and today she was also bad at Teacher Weng's mind, although she had to feel a little sorry for Master Weng, so she opened her eyes and got up because of Nanzhi's mention. Seeing Qin Shujiu suddenly open his eyes and get up, Nan Zhi was also silent, and stepped forward to serve Qin Shujiu and sat up, Nan Zhi asked.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

He shook his head slightly and then said, "It's okay, I suddenly remembered my teacher." He opened his mouth and answered. Then looking at Nanzhi, Qin Shujiu said, "Nanzhi, take the blood bracelet that Your Majesty has rewarded you today." Although he didn't know why Qin Shujiu wanted to take the reward, Nanzhi still did it, went into the inner bed, took out the blood bracelet that Fang had collected, and then presented it to Qin Shujiu. Stretched out his hand to take the blood bracelet handed by Nanzhi, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, Qin Shujiu said, "Sure enough, it is a good jade." ”

After finishing the way, Nan Zhi also responded, and replied: "This blood bracelet is made of good blood, which can be described as a rare treasure in the world, and I am afraid that such a treasure cannot even be found in the palace of the fourth concubine." Your Majesty's reward this time. Thinking about it, I really have a sister in my heart. ”

"yes." You sighed like that. The bracelet was placed in his palm, and Qin Shujiu said: "The blood is already rare, that is, the fine white jade is soaked in human blood after entering the soil, and it penetrates into the jade through the nourishment of blood. It takes a thousand years to get it. If you can find a piece in the whole world, it is a priceless thing in the world. What's more, it can be carved into a jade bracelet like this. It's even more impossible to find it. His Majesty rewarded this blood-soaked bracelet, which indeed shows the meaning of grace. ”

The blood-soaked bracelet on his hand is indeed rare, and the blood in the white jade is like a cloth. Holding it in the palm of his hand, it seems that the blood may overflow from the jade bracelet at any time, such a rare thing, even if it is Qin Shujiu, he is very happy. He took a few more looks, and then put the blood-soaked bracelet back into the brocade box, Qin Shujiu said, "Give this bracelet to the master." ”

After speaking, he put the brocade box on the lid with his hand, Qin Shujiu said this, this can make Nanzhi shocked, that is, he did not come back to God, and after he fell, Nanzhi said: "Send this blood bracelet to Languan Palace?" Still surprised, Nanzhi said, "Sister, why did such a rare thing be given to Weng Cairen?" Mo said that Nanzhi was shocked, even the curtain was puzzled, so he looked at Qin Shujiu in confusion.

Qin Shujiu's words are indeed indestructible, but after hearing Qin Shujiu's words, he said: "Your Majesty's birthday master also took a lot of thought, and today's limelight should have been hers, but unfortunately in the end, she asked me to fight for it." Although this competition for favor is like this, even if it is understandable to lose the favor of others and fall elsewhere, but she and I are sisters when we entered the palace after all, and I have never helped her on this favor, and now I have robbed her of the grace she worked so hard for. There are too many enemies in the palace, so don't hurt her sisters' affection. ”

Qin Shujiu is right, if there are more enemies in this palace, there will naturally be more enemies, and there will be fewer and fewer sisters who can be trusted by each other, even if the sisters cannot be used for themselves, but they should not hurt each other's feelings, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to themselves.

Qin Shujiu made up his mind to send it to Languan Palace, Nan Zhi couldn't say anything, just took the brocade box in his hand Nan Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, I'm afraid such a rare thing will be rare in the future." With a sigh, Nanzhi showed regret on her face, and the curtain looked at her with regret and said.

"Sister Nanzhi don't sigh, those who become big things must know the trade-offs, even if this bracelet is rare, it is also a thing outside the body, if it is given up, it can relieve the hearts of Weng Cairen, and it also saves a lot of trouble for the beauty." As he spoke, Curtain's words also made Qin Shujiu smile, and he said: "It's better to look at Curtain, you girl idiot is a few years older than Curtain, but she doesn't look as far as her." ”

took the opportunity to tease Nanzhi, Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "I know that you are reluctant in your heart, but even if this blood bracelet is rare, to be honest, I don't dare to wear such a precious thing even if it is left in the palace." As soon as the words turned, Nan Zhi was a little confused, and the curtains on the side were also confused, and after looking at their bewildered faces, Qin Shujiu said: "Although blood is rare in the world, it is buried in the ground and taken from the underground human blood for nourishment, and the underground is mostly a place of yin corpses, and the blood that seeps out must be rotten blood corpse blood, if this kind of extremely yin thing is worn on the body for a long time, it is not good after all." ”

Nan Zhi only knew that this blood bracelet was very good, but he forgot that the blood in the ground was not pure, and now he called Qin Shujiu to say this, and he heard that his body was yin, and he immediately said: "Since this is the case, I will send it to Languan Palace, anyway, such a rare thing wants to come to Weng Cairen and likes it very much, so it can be regarded as a sister who cares about this sisterhood." After saying that, he carefully put it away, and prepared to send the curtain for a while.

It was to send the things given by Liqing today to Master Weng, and Qin Shujiu freshened up and then lay down to rest. Today can be regarded as a matter of her ruining Master Weng's grace, but the person who succeeds must not take care of everything, so she can only wronged her, hoping that the blood bracelet can comfort Master Weng's heart is depressed, don't think about it.

After the bracelet was sent, Master Weng should have received it. When he returned, Qin Shujiu did not forget to look for the curtain carefully, and saw that Master Weng had a suspicion because of the family banquet, and after getting a reply from the curtain, Qin Shujiu breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed with a smile.

Although Master Weng is also a person who has the heart to compete for favor, she has always used a wrist that does not hurt people, and she can't live without grace in the palace, so she is understandable. Fighting for favor is natural, Qin Shujiu is not looking down on others to get favor, but looking at Master Weng, even if he gets favor, he should not change his mind and stumble on himself in the back.

Since the fifteenth family banquet after His Majesty's birthday. Qin Shujiu is becoming more and more beautiful in the palace. It is because the people in the palace have long eyes, and they know that this beautiful woman is now the first-class person in His Majesty's heart, and everything is the first for her, and the concubines next to her should be behind. It also made Qin Shujiu panic. I also specially sent Nanzhi to the Inner Servant Province. Tell the servants to come according to their grades and positions, and don't mess with the rules of the palace.

My Fair Beauty's orders to serve the province should be answered, but there is one thing they can't do. The Dong'e Ejiao sent by the Zhong Broken Palace recently, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that he didn't dare to stop anything, saying that it was ordered by the virtuous concubine Niangniang herself, and if she stopped privately without the will of the mother, I am afraid that I can't afford this crime.

The meaning of the virtuous concubine, even if it is said by the beautiful woman herself, it will not be possible, and this matter can only be continued. It also passed back the meaning of the inner servant, and when he heard that the **** sent to the palace Dong'e Ejiao was the meaning of the virtuous concubine, Qin Shujiu couldn't help laughing. It was this smile that made Nanzhi feel surprised and asked.

"Sister, why are you laughing?" Qin Shujiu replied: "What else, I think I am our virtuous concubine." Smiled and replied Nanzhi continued: "Concubine Xian's reward this time is so incomprehensible that people can't see through it, and I always feel that I have something hidden in my mind." frowned and said, Nanzhi just felt that the reward of Concubine Xian was not sincere.

Sitting on the couch and listening to Nanzhi's words, Qin Shujiu stared slightly, and responded while closing his eyes: "This time you are right, she really doesn't have any good intentions." Just smiled and then Nanzhi said: "I don't have a good heart, it's naturally a bad heart, my sister is now in favor and wants to avoid some limelight, she is good, and she wants the inner servant to send nourishing things to her sister, and the uninformed one thinks that my sister is proud of her grace." ”

"What she wants is that others mistakenly perceive me as pampered and arrogant, although the heart of the virtuous concubine is not good, but the things sent are really the best in the province. Since we can't refuse this reward, let's accept it, so as not to waste some kindness from my mother, but become a person who doesn't know what to do. ”

Smiled slightly, opened his eyes after laughing, and glanced at Nanzhi, Qin Shujiu was just about to say something. Before the words came out, the curtain came from outside the palace, but when he was in a hurry, he showed joy on his face. After entering the palace, he was busy with Qin Shujiu, and the curtain said softly: "Beauty, Xiao Suzi's father-in-law is here." As soon as this whisper fell, Su Yi also entered from outside the palace, and when he entered the palace, he gave Qin Shu a salute to the wine.

"The miscellaneous family has worshiped my fair lady, and I am happy to my fair beauty."

Such a statement made Qin Shujiu feel surprised, and when Su Yi was allowed to get up, Qin Shujiu said confusedly: "Little Suzi's father-in-law's joy? Where does it come from? He asked in confusion, but Su Yi refused to say it clearly, so he still looked at Qin Shujiu with a smile, and then said: "Your Majesty summoned Niangniang to Yanying Palace, what kind of joy is our family's way, and the beauty will know when she goes." ”

Su Yi's words are also mysterious, it is difficult to make Qin Shujiu strange, so he responded with a smile at the moment, ordered Nanzhi to change his clothes and then asked Su Yi to wait for a while, Qin Shujiu had better clothes, and went to Yanying Hall with Su Yi to knock on the saint.

In the Yanying Palace, Li Qing is on the dragon throne to review the folds, carefully study the matter and make a decision, which is conducive to the approval of the people, as for those impeachment without reason only seeking power in the court, since it should be asked to put Liqing aside and then let Yu Shan send back.

Liqing never liked to be disturbed by others when she reviewed the recital, so although Qin Shujiu arrived, she didn't dare to make a sound, but waited until Liqing noticed that she had entered the temple before bowing and bowing. is to put down the pen in his hand and then motioned for her to come forward, Liqing smiled: "Why don't you make a sound since you have come?" Answering the call, Qin Shujiu replied: "The concubine saw that His Majesty had read the review carefully, and she didn't dare to make a noise at will. ”

Wan Rou smiled, and then responded, it was this Guan Guan smile that made Li Qing see it in his eyes, and the smile in his eyes was deeper, Li Qing said: "I am Zhong You, I know my nature intimately, even if you are my interpretation flower, it is not too much." He couldn't help but pull Qin Shujiu's hand, and his eyes were even more affectionate.

After Liqing's heartfelt words, Qin Shujiu was also happy in his heart, and his eyes were rippling, but he was even more shy. was overjoyed with Qin Shujiu's delicate beauty, and Li Qing smiled indifferently: "Guess what I called you here today?" The words were a question that Qin Shujiu met Liqing's gaze, looked at it for a long time, and only then said, "The concubine can't guess." ”

Shaking his head in confusion, Qin Shujiu replied, it was this confusion that made Liqing laugh even more, and when he saw her, he picked up a book of folds from the desk and handed it to her. The twists and turns are related to the foundation of the country, and she doesn't dare to look at it, but Liqing is willing but also can take a peek or two, so she took it over and then opened it.

It was an excerpt of a merit, and the person invited was Qin Shujiu's father, Qin Tianhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department. The above list of Qin Shangshu's merits is that the investigation and punishment of three major corruption cases within this year is enough for Liqing to make a contribution to him. Everything is strict on the fold, and it is also an excerpt for Qin Shangshu to ask for credit, when it is after reading it, Qin Shujiu is to put away the fold and then salute: "Your Majesty Shengming only bless me with Jiang Guotai and the people's peace, and the official is not greedy." ”

It is to owe himself to congratulate him, this time the congratulations made Liqing happy, and immediately helped Qin Shujiu to get up, Liqing said: "No matter how holy I am, if it is not for the assistance of this loyal minister, there will be no such people's peace and security, Qin Shangshu has made a great contribution to my thorough investigation of corruption, and it is a reward, what reward do you think I should give in order to deserve Qin Shangshu's great merit?" ”

Asking yourself what the reward is, looking at it is a great grace, but this court matter is not something that the concubine should say much, and Qin Shujiu responded at the moment: "My father is Your Majesty's courtier, and I should do my best for Your Majesty, how can I ask for any reward?" After speaking, Liqing smiled and said: "Merit is rewarded and punishment is punished, if everyone is the same, since Shu'er doesn't know what to ask for Qin Shangshu, then how about I make the decision?" ”

Looking at Qin Shujiu, Liqing said: "Qin Shangshu is upright, he is a rare loyal minister, I can rest assured that he is in charge, even if he has broken such several crimes of corruption, then I will order him to take the post of Dali Siqing, what does Shu'er think?" In the end, he spoke softly and asked Qin Shujiu what he meant.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is the third grade, and the Dali Temple Qing is also the third grade, Liqing's reward does not seem to have promoted Qin Tianhao's official quality, but these two officials in one have increased their real power. For a long time, major cases have been reviewed by the Criminal Department, but once there is a serious case, it will definitely be the three divisions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Yushitai, and now the real power of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple is in the hands of Qin Tianhao, and he has the final say in this big and small case of Jiang Guo.

Liqing's reward seems to be unrewarded, but in fact it is a heavy favor to Qin Tianhao.

Liqing is so gracious to Qin Shujiu that he should thank his father, and now he knelt down and bowed, and Qin Shujiu thanked the saint for Qin Shangshu. (To be continued.) )
