Unlike the previous Chief Manager Cai with a smile on his face and a traitor in his heart, our newly promoted Chief Manager Tian has always had a wooden face.

He was by Qi Xuanzhen's side, and he also started serving when he was a child, but Qi Xuanzhen, who was the master, rarely saw him have a different expression.

No matter whether he is happy or sad in his heart, even if he is angry, he still maintains this appearance.

The disadvantage is that people can't see through whether he is happy or annoyed, the good thing is that Tian Qi's joy and anger are invisible, and if anyone wants to see something from him, it is also difficult to climb to the sky.

If you want to say that the general manager of Tian usually maintains it, such a dull expression is just enough, and he will tell jokes to the saint, and he also uses this kind of wooden expression to make people feel weird.

Where will you still want to laugh? Is it okay to feel sick all over your body?

Qi Xuanzhen even felt that the hippie smiling face and indecent ruffian appearance of his ninth brother were a hundred times stronger than Tian Qi's redundant expression.

Suddenly, Emperor Wenhua, who originally disliked Qi Xuanli, was not good, but he suddenly felt that Prince Rui was still very pleasing to the eye.

"Tell me about you, now you are also the head of the Hui Si Palace, why do you always have a straight face, and you act like you are not close to anyone, how can you do this?" Qi Xuanzhen couldn't help but say a few words, "I still rely on you to control the news of the connections in the palace, you have to be affinity, do you know affinity?" ”

Tian Qi secretly thought: "Even if the slave has a straight face, but he has not delayed your affairs with the saint, this palace is now well understood, and a little wind and grass will immediately have someone go back and forth to the slave to know." ”

"It can be seen that this is an errand. It doesn't matter what kind of expression it has on its face. ”

But it was his master who said this, his God, even if Tian Qi felt that this was wrong, but as a loyal servant, he would never have the slightest doubt.

"Want a smiley face? Then our family will give the saint a smile. Tian Qi deliberately pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides, thinking that this expression was very good, and bowed down and said: "If the slave returns to the saint, the slave understands." Slaves should do their duty. Be kind to everyone, and please rest assured. ”

"Is this called laughter? It's better than crying and can't see where to go! Qi Xuanzhen looked at the twisted and weird 'smile' on Tian Qi's face, and he was completely speechless to this henchman.

He shook his head and sighed, "Okay." Come on. If you don't want to laugh, don't be intimidating. Luckily, it's going to be daylight, and if it's night, someone might shout 'There's a ghost'!" ”

"Message. Set up the filial piety palace. ”

Tian Qi heard that the saint asked him to stop laughing, and suddenly felt relaxed, and immediately regained his comfortable dull appearance, as for what the hell is not a ghost, as long as he is not allowed to laugh, Tian Qi still feels that he is still very majestic.

At least those eunuchs, palace maids and the like, when they saw him, they consciously knelt down voluntarily, compared to Lao Cai in front, Tian Qi thought that he was still more powerful than him.

It stands to reason that the queen mother of the Dajing Dynasty should live in the Cixi Palace to the east of the harem, which is the residence of the serious queen mother, and the queen mothers of all dynasties for hundreds of years have been raised here.

But now, the Empress Dowager and her old man are still there, although she is raised with medicine every day, but she has not ascended to heaven, right?

Even if he has become the supreme of the Great Jing Dynasty and has reached the highest point, Qi Xuanzhen did not dare to act recklessly, and issued a holy decree to let the Empress Dowager move the palace.

Originally, if the Empress Dowager could take the initiative to propose that she wanted to go to another palace to recuperate, then Qi Xuanzhen would happily agree.

Naturally, for such a discerning Empress Dowager, he will not be disadvantaged, and will definitely choose another spacious palace with pleasant scenery for the old man.

But the empress dowager is not stable, and she has never even spoken half of her humility.

On the contrary, he was full of the elders' shelves, with peace of mind, spending money like water, using all kinds of precious medicinal materials and supplements, and he was not polite to anyone at all.

The Empress Dowager behaved like this, which really made Emperor Wenhua complain in his heart, and secretly felt that this person was too ignorant of advancing and retreating, and he couldn't help but be angry with Uncle Bai in his heart.

There is no shortage of people who secretly poke and poke in their hearts, how to rectify the Bai family in the future, so that they will be comfortable.

Since Cixi Palace didn't think about it, Qi Xuanzhen personally carried the plaque of Xiaoci Palace, and set the largest Zixuan Palace in the west of the harem as the place where the queen mother lived.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother's behavior has always pursued the wise saying of taking a step back and opening up the sky.

Not only was he dissatisfied with this matter, but he then confronted the Empress Dowager, and as usual, he was a model of filial piety to his daughter-in-law.

Every day, she will bring the queen and concubines who came to greet her, from the west side of the palace, a long journey of half an hour, to the eyes of the Empress Dowager of Cixi Palace to say goodbye.

Such a vast crowd of people, and most of them are beautiful women, along the way are skirts flying, ringing and jingling, which can definitely be called the most beautiful scenery in the palace.

The queen mother not only has filial piety, but also leads her daughters-in-law to do filial piety together.

Many old scholars were very emotional, and specially wrote poems and lyrics for this, but they could vigorously praise the various virtues of the queen mother.

was in the limelight for a while, and the first time she experienced the brilliance of the queen mother, at the same time covered the queen mother and the new queen.

is sturdy, and has a good reputation for filial piety as a maid, thinking that even if something bad happens between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, public opinion in the society will definitely be more biased towards the queen mother.

Therefore, the person who has been in the harem and has raised three sons and a daughter has never been so kind and harmless as it seems.

Qi Xuanzhen sat on the royal pavement, walking on the long and clean green jade road, and inevitably remembered the first round of confrontation between his mother and the empress dowager.

Thinking of the result of his mother's victory in the end, he smiled happily and said to himself, "Queen Mother, your trick is weak, and you are more and more perfect. ”

"But this time I'm annoyed, it's aimed at my son, and I'm really a little wronged."

"Presumably, there are rumors in the whole palace at this time. For the sake of her youngest son, the current Queen Mother actually did not go to the Queen Mother on time to say goodbye for the first time, which shows that she is not angry with her son. ”

The Huisi Palace, where the emperor lived, is located in the very center of the entire palace, and it is not too far to go to the Xiaoci Palace from this side, which is a quarter of an hour's journey.

Just when Qi Xuanzhen held Tian Qi's hand, he got off the royal court, and stepped on the door of the main hall of Xiaoci Palace with steady steps. The little eunuch at the door. Then he knelt on the ground and raised his voice: "The Holy One has arrived, long live the Holy One, long live, long live." ”

With this first little eunuch passed on. Long live this. Hooray's voice. It's like the waves of the ocean rolling, and the layers of it go all the way in.

Qi Xuanzhen frowned and said to Tian Qi as he walked inside. "Long live, long live, it's just a nonsense to deceive others and deceive yourself, just find an auspicious sentence and change this sentence to me."

"Why don't I like to say that?"

His move was a bit of a precautionary measure, and Qi Xuanzhen was worried that he would not have any superfluous thoughts when he first heard the word long live.

But as time passes, it is hard to guarantee that other unrealistic thoughts will not arise.

Qi Xuanzhen's great-grandfather fantasized about immortality, and even threw the government to the left and right ministers, and asked intently.

In the end, he died on the golden pill of the Taoist priest, and since then, the Dajing Dynasty has changed the situation that Taoism is heavy and Buddhism is light.

suppressed Taoism completely, and instead fostered Buddhism.

After all, compared with Taoism's desire for longevity, Buddhism seeks the afterlife, even if all the family wealth is dedicated to the Buddha, at least it is worry-free with life.

Qi Xuanzhen didn't want to make a mistake at all, so he simply strangled the source to death.

Tian Qi didn't have any superfluous conjectures in his heart, and bowed down and replied, "The slave obeys the order." ”

I haven't gone far, and I saw from a distance that the brothers Qi Xuanli and Qi Xuanhui hurriedly greeted them.

In the realm ten steps away from Qi Xuanzhen, kneel and kowtow to greet the Holy Master.

Qi Xuanzhen smiled and raised his hand, "Get up, I've already said so many times, my own brother, you don't need to kneel to greet you when you meet, just fight." ”

"You two are more serious, you will kneel every time, don't your knees hurt?"

Qi Xuanli stood up, just looked at Qi Xuanzhen with a smile, and didn't speak.

Qi Xuanhui said, "When a courtier sees the holy driver, he must kowtow to greet him, this is the rule handed down by our ancestors, the courtiers and other brothers are immoral and incompetent, young and strong, how can they be exempted?" ”

"Let's go according to the rules, the younger brother doesn't want the imperial historians to come to play with the Holy Lord because of such a trivial matter, so it's not annoying."

Qi Xuanzhen stretched out his hand and nodded at him a few times, and praised, "You are always thoughtful, Xiao Jiu, learn more from your brother, don't be reckless." ”

However, looking at the face, Qi Xuanzhen had already seen the tiredness hidden behind the smiles of the two younger brothers.

This pair of brothers and sisters have been tortured by the Queen Mother for more than two hours, although there is no corporal punishment, but this mental torture is sometimes more unbearable than physical torture.

He sighed in his heart, and without waiting for Qi Xuanli to say anything more humble, he took the lead and stepped on the white marble avenue to the main palace.

Qi Xuanzhen got the reminder of his two younger brothers, and went straight from the main hall to the west hall.

I saw that in the four gilt silver and bronze tripods in the west side hall, the charcoal fire was burning, and the baking hall was as warm as spring.

There are all kinds of daffodils everywhere in the hall, especially the marigold silver platform that the queen mother likes is the most.

The single petal of this narcissus resembles a small yellow and small gold cup, and the six white leaf holders below are like cup holders, so they are silver tables.

Because of its unique style, it is also not easy to cultivate, so it is the most rare.

In the homes of ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to buy a plant with a lot of money, but in the west side of the hall, there are enough three pots, which shows that the people in this flower house are still very attentive to serving the Queen Mother.

Qi Xuanzhen nodded with great satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The people in the flower room are loyal to their duties, and they are even kind, the chief eunuch and aunt are each promoted to one grade, and the rest of them will be rewarded with six taels of silver." ”

After Qi Xuanzhen's seemingly random words were ordered, several masters in the hall had different reflections.

First of all, the Queen Mother's tense face showed signs of relaxation, and the corners of her drooping lips also showed a hint of upward bending.

But Qi Xuanhui stood up, bowed to the worship, and said very embarrassedly: "It's all the younger brothers, because of this trivial matter, it is really sinful and guilty to bother the saint to move the car." ”

Qi Xuanzhen personally helped him and Qi Xuanli to get up, and gave Qi Xuanhui a reassuring look.

This bowed down to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, no matter how much she made the Queen Mother unhappy, she was still the Queen Mother's own son of her old man, the emperor of the Dajing Dynasty.

Coupled with Emperor Wenhua's obvious overtures just now, she didn't pretend to turn a blind eye in the end.

snorted lightly, and said in a tone: "Saint, get up quickly, you are in a busy schedule, and you can still find time to come and see me, the queen mother, it's really difficult for you, sit down." ”

"Baiji, still don't you want to serve tea to the saint?"

Baiji is now also the big palace maid in charge of the Xiaoci Palace, I am afraid that she only serves the queen mother, and in private, she is also a little palace maid serving her.

This will make the queen mother order her to serve tea, which is also very face-saving for her son.

And Baiji is not stupid, as early as when the holy car arrived, she had already made tea, and when the queen mother ordered, she stepped forward with a smile.

When she got up, Qi Xuanzhen took the teacup, the temperature of the tea was just enough to eat, which was not inconsiderate.

Qi Xuanzhen was drinking tea, and he heard Qi Xuanli say with a smile: "The saint just appreciated the people in the flower room, it can be seen that he thinks that these slaves are doing their best to serve the queen mother, so they are rewarded." ”

"Erchen, the second son, can't be too far worse than the saint, right? In this way, the retainers will also reward them, so that the servants of the palace will know who is the most important person in the holy world. ”

After speaking, he deliberately pretended to be thinking hard, slapped his thigh at the last time, looked like he was in pain, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Erchen will reward them with three coins of silver each!" ”

"Alas, it's really the son's purse is deflated, and I can't take out a lot more."

Qi Xuanzhen couldn't help but smile and asked him, "Whoever says that there is no money, probably everyone still has to believe it, but you are crying poor here."

"Hmph, who believes you?"

"You know, no matter what the thirteenth brother does, he will add your share, and even, sometimes I am thrown aside by him."

"Under the care of the thirteenth brother, you still say that you have no money?"

"Xiao Jiu, you are a clear bully!"

Qi Xuanli stood on the white marble floor that had been wiped by the palace people, bowed and bowed to Emperor Wenhua, and shouted loudly, "Wronged." It's so pitiful to look at.

But Qi Xuanzhen deliberately didn't look at him, and let him do something wrong.

When the queen mother saw such a scene, she was not calm, and couldn't help but think, "Okay, just get the small sleeves out of the palace, and then put it on the shelf again, and give the second child a good look!" (To be continued......)
