"What do you mean by that?" After opening his mouth and repeating it, Qin Shujiu sighed: "If you want to blame it, blame King Chong himself, when His Majesty first ascended the throne, in order to recruit brave and fierce generals, he once set up a ring, and whoever wins can enter the court as an official and use it for my Jiang country." Back then, King Chong was also young and vigorous, and with his martial arts, he also wanted to play a prestige for himself. Who knew that the fists and feet in the ring were not long-sighted, but they accidentally killed the auxiliary general's alone. General Hou's family only has such a son, even if he asks the prince to be killed by mistake, he will not give up. As the so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that the auxiliary general has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, in order to appease the heart of the auxiliary general, our Majesty can only grieve the king. ”

"And then." It was the first time Nanzhi had heard of such a thing, but he was a little unfair for King Chong, and immediately said: "On this ring, there are no long eyes on the fists and feet, even if you miss and kill him, you can't complain about King Chong." ”

"That's what I said, but what can I do if the general of the auxiliary country is unwilling to compromise, how can our majesty watch the soldiers unwilling to lay the root cause for Jiang Guo? is also the king of Chong, and he is also a righteous person, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, he has borne it with all his might. Although he can't repay his life with his life, he has been guarding the cold river for more than ten years, and he has also suffered from King Chong. ”

Isn't it unusual for Bayi to be so guarded for more than ten years, Nanzhi is convinced, but he also said for King Chong: "I didn't expect that in order to appease the general's heart, Your Majesty would be able to do this?" As soon as these words fell, I heard Qin Shujiu say: "Our Majesty has done everything in order to appease the heart of the court, but the reason for King Chong's place is not in Your Majesty's place in the final analysis. Suddenly stopped, then turned to look at Nanzhi, Qin Shujiu asked, "Do you know where it is?" ”

"Auxiliary General." Speaking tentatively, Qin Shujiu smiled and said, "Smart." Then he said: "The eldest princess of Tongyang and King Chong are compatriots of the same mother, and the hardships of King Chong for more than ten years are also thanks to the blessing of the auxiliary generals, and King Chong is far away in Ba Yi and cannot repay this kindness, but the eldest princess of Tongyang can be in the palace." ”

The snow fox just asked the eldest princess of Tongyang to remember the favor of the general of the auxiliary country again, and the eldest princess of Tongyang of General Hou couldn't help him, but Concubine Hou Xian was in this palace, but she was able to get a lot of favor from the eldest princess. Anyway, the eldest princess's temperament is like that, and she has long been used to it, even if she can't make some big things, it's okay to toss and toss Concubine Hou Xian to make her unhappy.

This is what is taken and reciprocated, and it is clear to explain Nanzhi like this, and he said softly at the moment: "Sure enough, my sister is still thoughtful and thinks of this piece." Qin Shujiu responded: "It's not Sister Su who said it, then Concubine Hou Xian is afraid that she is deliberately targeting me, this Concubine Hou Xian is not an idle master, if she is asked to worry about it, it will be troublesome." Since she has nothing to do, it is better to ask the eldest princess to catch up with her more, so that she will not have the free time to turn her mind on me, which will ruin my plans and plans. ”

Concubine Hou Xian, she doesn't have so much time to deal with her, so it's better to find someone to accompany her, so as not to find her own trouble.

The eldest princess of Tongyang is a trouble that is not easy to solve, and I am afraid that Concubine Hou Xian will be anxious recently. Just using a few fruits like that in exchange for such a benefit, it is enough to make Qin Shujiu feel a little happy in his heart, and after talking to Nanzhi, Qin Shujiu returned to his usual expression and then said: "I have been outside for a long time, let's go back to the palace quickly, otherwise after coming out for a long time, I am afraid that Sister Su will have to ask again." ”

In this palace, Qin Shujiu actually had the most no way to take that Su Die, but it made Nan Zhi feel funny, and couldn't help laughing: "Su Jieyu's temperament is also amazing, I really don't know how to raise such a person." ”

"Yes, I don't know where to raise such a person." Sighing slightly, Qin Shujiu's heart sank somehow, but this breath was a casual sigh, and then Qin Shujiu said: "Okay, don't think about it, let's go back to the palace." ”

After returning to the palace, of course, I had to ask Su Die to ask, since Xu Luoxin poisoned her, Su Die had a lot of worries about this Qin Shujiu, so much so that as long as she stepped out of the Zhong Broken Palace with her front foot, she might be murdered, but Qin Shujiu had a headache, but it was difficult to refuse her kindness, so she could only have a headache by herself.

Now, only the Yanying Hall is a temporary place for Qin Shujiu, thinking about it like this, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but sigh, this long sigh made Liqing feel good, and immediately stopped the criticism in his hand and asked, "What's the matter, how can you sigh at a good point." Seeing that Liqing asked Qin Shujiu, he hurriedly returned to his senses, and then responded: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine didn't think anything." ”

Li Qing didn't believe this, so he said immediately: "Bullying the king is a serious crime, have you thought about it?" As soon as these words came out, Qin Shujiu laughed, and when he leaned over, Qin Shujiu said: "The concubine really didn't think about anything, she just thought about Sister Su." ”

"Die'er, what are you thinking about her?"

Seeing that Qin Shujiu's smile turned out to be because of Su Die, Liqing immediately felt that he was interested in asking too, and under Liqing's inquiry, Qin Shujiu could only answer in the end: "It's not a big deal, if it wasn't because of the previous Xu's incident that Sister Su was shocked, now all the concubines have been outside for a long time, or if someone sent someone to send food, then Sister Su has to ask one by one, as if there will be something mixed in the food." Everything is asked one by one to rest assured, she feels comfortable in her heart, but the concubine is afraid that she will not be able to survive these days, so she can only go to His Majesty's Yanying Palace to take refuge in the sister so that she will not find it here. ”

Looking at Su Die's temperament on weekdays, he didn't expect that if she was idle, she would be so sticky, but the more Qin Shujiu thought about it, the more afraid she felt. Qin Shujiu's lament was not for fun, but Liqing felt funny when he saw it, but after a few chuckles, he looked at Qin Shujiu, and then said with a straight face: "But Die'er is also right to worry, Xu's incident is really wronged by you, but it makes you frightened." ”

"Isn't it okay to be a concubine! Your Majesty should not mention this matter again, lest the concubines in the palace hear this and think more about it in their hearts. ”

There are too many things to say in the palace, Qin Shujiu chuckled and said, Qin Shujiu didn't like this, of course Liqing didn't like it, and immediately said: "Since Shu'er didn't mention it, then I won't mention it, but Die'er has one thing that is right." This food must be eaten with caution, and since this is the case, I will give you a small kitchen, so that your food will no longer have to be eaten by the food bureau, it will all depend on your preference. ”

The small kitchen given by the Holy Lord was a treatment only available to the lord of the first palace, but now it was actually given Qin Shujiu such a grace, but Qin Shujiu did not dare to accept it. It's just that Liqing's will has been given, and Qin Shujiu can't say much, and after a begging to withdraw, Liqing's voice sank, and Qin Shujiu could only thank Liqing for his reward.

As he was saying this, Yu Shan also happened to come in, holding a cloud red lacquer plate in his hand, which contained five silver pots of carved birds and painted birds. Holding the tray with the silver kettle and coming to Liqing, Yu Shangong said, "Your Majesty." ”

"What?" Stopping the conversation with Qin Shujiu and looking at Yu Shan, Liqing asked. With a friendly smile on his face, Yu Shan replied: "The Ministry of Internal Service has just sent the snail Dai that has just been paid tribute this year, and it is always used in five hundreds, and the old minister has served it, Your Majesty is going to reward this snail Dai to He Gong Niangniang this year?" ”

"Reward to He Gong?"

This snail Dai is a rare thing, with a trace of blue in the black, and its posture is also overwhelming when painted on the eyebrows. Because this snail Dai is extremely precious, every time the concubine who enters the palace and gets a reward will regard it as a reward for Longen. Although the tribute of this snail Dai is not much every year, there must be more than ten Hu in total, but this year it is rare, there are only five Hu, but it is difficult for Liqing. Looking at the snail Dai Wei thought for a while, Liqing said.

"It stands to reason that the queen deserves to be rewarded, but the queen and the concubine don't like these, and this year they won't be rewarded, and these five will be rewarded to the three concubines of Gui Dexian and one palace. As for the queen's share, it was rewarded to Meng Jieyu, the queen's health has always been bad, after entering the palace, Meng Jieyu was dedicated to accompanying her, and the queen's one reward her. As for this last one? ”

Five Hu was rewarded with four Hu, and this last Hu depends on grace. Although this snail Dai is extremely rare, Qin Shujiu didn't make a sound, just sat on the side and watched Liqing share the reward. She was silent, but how could Liqing not see that she was on the side? I looked at her at the moment, but I looked at her silently.

Looking at it like that, without saying a word, Qin Shujiu felt strange, and thought that he had something on his face and couldn't help but wipe it lightly with his sleeve, after this light wipe, he found that Liqing was still looking at her with a smile, Qin Shujiu felt even more uneasy in his heart, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, what is on the face of the concubine?" ”

Asked softly, his heart was uneasy, who would have thought that such an inquiry did not get a response from Liqing, and he looked at this chuckle for a long time, Liqing suddenly said: "The snail lightly depicts Xi'e eyebrows, Yan Zhi wants to spend fragrant cheeks and snow, Shu'er's Xi'e eyebrows are very beautiful." Calling Liqing, Qin Shujiu remembered that what the curtain painted for him today was Xi'e eyebrows, and immediately raised his hand and stroked his thin eyebrows, Qin Shujiu smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

"Luo Zi Dai depicts Na Xi'e eyebrows, very wonderful, this last Luo Zi Dai will be rewarded to the beautiful woman." I didn't expect Liqing to reward this last thing to himself, so the holy grace made Qin Shujiu dare not accept it, and was about to ask His Majesty to reward this rare thing to others, but before he could speak, he heard Liqing say: "You can't help it, if you don't accept it today, I won't reward you with anything in the future." Saying this, Qin Shujiu didn't dare to speak, so he had to thank Long En.

The rewarded Luo Zidai quickly announced the reward of the inner servant, as for the reward to Qin Shujiu, he stayed for the time being, and Liqing took one and then dipped it in some water brought by Su Yi, and the saint painted Emei for Qin Shujiu with his own hands. The light stroke of Xi'e eyebrows shows the tenderness of the king, and every light stroke is the favor of His Majesty. Raised his head to look at Liqing, watching him carefully draw his eyebrows, the focused expression and the slight chuckle on the corners of his lips all made the woman fall into it.

Liqing's eyebrows were drawn attentively, and Qin Shujiu didn't say a word, just looked at it like that, and waited for Liqing to retrace Na Xi'e eyebrows with Luo Dai before he withdrew his hand, and then sat upright and looked at it carefully and said: "Qingluodai, Dan Yan Zhi, this is my beauty, and after a while, that Jinyan branch is paying tribute to you." ”

The most important reward that a man can give to a woman is to be pampered, and Liqing's treatment of Qin Shujiu can be seen everywhere, which is the best reward for a woman who marries into the emperor's family. Xi'e eyebrows are painted by Liqing himself, after the completion of Qin Shujiu couldn't help but stretch out his head and touch it gently, the blush flying on his face dyed the white snow cheeks pink, but it made the whole person look very coquettish.

Liqing likes Qin Shujiu's appearance very much, and always makes his inexplicable heart feel a lot more relieved, but he looked at Qin Shujiu's pink cheeks silently, but Yu Shan approached at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Lai Zhaoyi asks to see." ”

"Lai Zhaoyi?" I didn't expect Lai Zhaoyi to ask to see her at this time, although she was not summoned to her, but it was not easy to send people away, and when she was silent, Qin Shujiu immediately got up and saluted: "Since Lai Zhaoyi asked to see, the concubine will retire first." After speaking, he was about to exit the Yanying Palace, but Liqing stopped him. Seeing her smile and shake her head, Liqing said, "Sit down." Then he looked at Yu Shang and said, "Xuan." ”

"Whoa." Bowing his hand, Yu Shan shouted: "Xuanlai Zhaoyi enters the hall." ”

After getting Xuan and entering the hall, after entering the Yanying Palace, Lai Zhaoyi first bowed, and Qin Shujiu was also busy getting up and worshipping, waiting for Liqing to pass before the two of them got up, looked at her and nodded slightly, Liqing asked, "What's the matter?" Lai Zhaoyi replied: "The bitter heat of midsummer is getting more and more hot and stuffy, and the concubine thinks that His Majesty will inevitably work hard all day long in this Yanying Palace, so she boiled this lily lotus seed soup for His Majesty to recuperate with peace of mind, so as to cool off the heat." After speaking, he ordered the palace people behind Le to offer the boiled lily lotus seed soup, and the lotus seed soup to the front of the palace, Yu Shan walked over in person, took the lotus seed soup, and then served it to Liqing.

This lotus seed soup is Lai Zhaoyi's mind, Liqing naturally wants to accept it, so he immediately took the lotus seed soup and then tasted it, Liqing nodded and praised: "Not bad." ”

Lily nourishes lotus seeds to go to the heart fire, these two are also excellent to boil into soup, and handed the lotus seed soup to Yu Shanhou, Liqing said: "Zhaoyi has a heart." Liqing said this, Lai Zhaoyi hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty's Rili Wanji concubines are just doing their part, I just hope that Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, and my big Jiang country will be prosperous." ”

This made Liqing satisfied, that is, he nodded, Liqing's approval was the concubine's luck, and he was slightly happy in his heart and smiled on his face, and when he was smiling, he saw the snail Dai placed on the desk, and immediately Lai Zhaoyi said: "This is the new tribute snail Dai?" After asking, Liqing smiled and said, "Yes, I have just paid tribute, and I have already shared the reward." Sanhu rewarded the three concubines of Gui Dexian, and Yihu rewarded Meng Jieyu, as for this one. After a slight pause in this, he looked at Qin Shujiu and said with a smile.

"As for this last one, it's hers."
