Chapter 16: The Audience
The sky was bright, and when Xie Roujia's carriage went out, Xie Wenxing returned from outside with a smell of wine.
"Master, I'll accompany the second lady into the city." Shao Mingqing said.
Xie Wenxing nodded.
"Go, go, bring more people, don't get squeezed." He said with a laugh.
Shao Mingqing responded.
Xie Wenxing staggered inward, and Xie Rouhui hurried out of the backyard to greet him.
"Father has worked hard." She said.
Xie Wenxing smiled and took out a notebook from his sleeve.
"This is the relevant matters of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and several high-status favored concubines." He said.
"Father is amazing!" Xie Rouhui said excitedly.
Xie Wenxing smiled and watched Xie Rouhui take the book with both hands.
"Father, rest quickly." She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I'll leave the rest to my daughter." ”
Seeing that the father and daughter were talking for a while, Shao Mingqing retracted his gaze and caught up with Xie Roujia's carriage.
"The eldest master has been out for a night, and he has really made a lot of money, and it seems that he has gained a lot." He chuckled under his breath.
"What are you doing socializing?" Xie Roujia said.
"In order to make friends, in order to have a more important position in front of the emperor." Shao Mingqing said, "So you must do what you like." ”
"But our Xie family doesn't need this." Xie Roujia said, "Our Xie family's status depends on cinnabar. ”
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"You're right, but adults always think so. Things are dead, people are alive, compared to things, the return to people is fast and heavy. He said.
"The return of its material is greater, as long as people pay a little bit of good." Xie Roujia said.
For example, mines, rivers, mountains and forests, such as fields.
"It's just that they're commonplace, and they don't know how to say it, so they take it for granted."
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"Yes. Miss Roujia was right. He laughed. But it's their business that they can't see, Miss Roujia can rest assured for the time being, the most important thing is to have a happy trip today. ”
Xie Roujia smiled and nodded.
"Where did you go last time you came to the capital? What good things have you eaten? Take us to play again today. She said.
Shao Mingqing smiled and looked at the looming city in front of him.
Last time he didn't play anywhere. Nothing was eaten. Irregular bedtime. His mind was tense, staring at Xie Wenxing wholeheartedly, and he took great pains to touch Xuan Zhenzi's door.
"Okay." He said with a smile. "Leave it to me."

The daylight gradually tilts and the interior light dims.
"Light up!"
Xie Rouhui, who was sitting in front of a few cases, said.
The two little girls hurriedly lit the lamps and candles, and set them up on the table covered with paper, and the dishes on the dining table on the other side did not move at all.
"Miss, it's been a day, you can take a break." A girl said boldly.
Xie Rouhui stretched and put down the pen in her hand.
Well, she not only kept the affairs of the mothers in mind, but also the family history of the mothers.
There was a commotion outside.
"What's the matter?" Xie Rouhui frowned and asked displeased.
A little girl was looking out of the window.
"Eldest Miss, it's the Second Miss who is back." She said.
Xie Rouhui stood up.
"Close the window." She said.
The girls hurriedly closed the window.
"Alright, now turn on the lights." Xie Rouhui said, "Prepare the clothes to enter the palace tomorrow." ”
The girls responded, and the lights were lit up one by one, as if it were daytime.
In the spacious room, a one-person-high bronze mirror was arranged, racks of clothes were pushed out, and jewelry was laid out one by one, filling the room with brilliance.
Xie Rouhui stood in front of the bronze mirror, selecting attentively and seriously.
When the noise came from the window, Shui Ying was still sleeping in bed.
Xie Roujia crawled out of the tent with her eyes half-closed.
"What time is it? What for? She said in a daze, the sky was cloudy, and her eyes were dizzy, but it was only about five o'clock.
She staggered to the window and watched the people running around in the yard.
"Hurry up, Miss's car is leaving."
Oh, today is the day of the audience, Shao Mingqing said that the emperor will summon Miss Xie at the big court meeting.
It's going to be so early, and it's not dawn yet.
Xie Roujia yawned, stretched out her hand to close the window, cut off the noise outside, and put a thin quilt on Shui Ying, who turned over, and then fell back to bed and fell asleep.
By the time I heard the summons, it was already bright.
"Megumi." Xie Wenxing looked at Xie Rouhui, who dismounted and walked inward, and couldn't help but shout again a little nervously.
Xie Rouhui looked at Xie Wenxing and smiled.
"Father, don't be nervous." She said.
This is what he wanted to tell her, and now that she said it first, it can be seen that she is really not nervous.
Xie Wenxing nodded with some satisfaction.
"Go ahead, don't be afraid." He said.
Xie Rouhui nodded with a smile and walked slowly towards the palace gate.
Passing through the deep palace gate, the red walls and yellow tiles in front of you, the golden and majestic palace in the sunlight is dazzling.
Walking on the blue brick paved road next to the white marble, Xie Rouhui's hands in the sleeves in front of her were tightly clasped together.
It's not nervousness, it's excitement.
How many people in this life don't even dare to dream of walking in the palace.
And she could.
As she walked, summons echoed in front of the palace.
"Bashu Xie Nu Visit."
"Bashu Xie Nu Visit."
In front of the tall hall, the well-dressed officials who had just come out of the court meeting turned their heads to look over, Xie Rouhui looked upright step by step, and among the officials, he saw the king of Dongping County at the front at a glance.
Just like the first time she saw him at the banquet, he was still dazzling in court clothes.
The eyes of the king of Dongping County also looked at her.
A small chamberlain quietly approached and whispered to him, and the king of Dongping retracted his gaze. He took a few steps back and stood behind the other officials.
Xie Rouhui, who didn't dare to look around, stood in front of the palace gate.
"Bashu Pengshui Xie Shi Rouhui see Your Majesty." She said.
The voice is clear and melodious.
A moment later, a proclamation was heard from the hall.
The girl walked through the door of the temple and disappeared into everyone's sight, and a buzz suddenly sounded in front of the quiet hall.
"This is the eldest daughter of the Xie family."
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the inheritance of Dannu, and it is so calm to meet at a young age."
"The voice is also good, and it is really practiced by singing witch words."
In the midst of this discussion, the king of Dongping County walked outside beyond the crowd, but before he had gone far, he was chased by the inner servants.
"His Royal Highness the King of the County, the Queen Mother is invited."
The Queen Mother?
Do you want to see him at this time?
The king of Dongping County turned around.
And at the same time. Shao Mingqing, who was walking into a teahouse, was also stopped.
"Young Master Shao." The two little Taoist priests stopped him with a smile and said.
"Who are you?" Shao Mingqing asked with a look of astonishment.
The little Taoist priest smiled.
"Young Master Shao. You know who we are. He said.
Of course Shao Mingqing knew, Xie Roujia, who was walking in front, hurried back.
"What's wrong?" She said, her body tense.
Looks like you're going to fight.
Shao Mingqing hurriedly waved at her.
"It's okay, I've met an old friend." He said. "You go to the house first. I'll be here in a moment. ”
Xie Roujia looked at the two little Taoist priests.
The people of Gen Zhenzi.
This man is actually entangled? That last life. is also pestering Shao Mingqing like this, so he became a Tongtian mage?
"Then I'll go first." Xie Roujia said, "If you have something, shout." ”
Shao Mingqing smiled and nodded. watched Shui Ying and Xie Roujia go upstairs under the entourage.
"Shao Gongzi, please." The little Taoist priest said respectfully, pointing in one direction.
Following the little Taoist priest into a box, Shao Mingqing was a little surprised when he saw the people sitting in it.
He knew that it was Xuan Zhenzi's person, but he didn't expect that it was Xuan Zhenzi himself who came.
"Dao Chief!" Shao Mingqing stepped forward excitedly and bowed, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
It looks like it's like every other three autumns.
Xuan Zhenzi hummed.
"Yes, it's not easy to see Shao Gongzi." He said nonchalantly.
Shao Mingqing Shi Lilian said that he didn't dare.
"Put away your look, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Xuan Zhenzi said, "Say, what do you mean? ”
Shao Mingqing looked dazed.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Why didn't you leave my cinnabar alone and give it to someone else?" Gen Zhenzi asked.
Shao Mingqing looked abrupt.
"Dao Chief, the cinnabar used by the Dao Chief is the top priority, I don't dare to be casual after I go back, so I chose the best master to be responsible." He said solemnly.
Gen Zhenzi looked at him and sighed.
"Then what do you mean by risking a big disapproval to give me a piece of phoenix bloodstone?" He asked again.
"That's because the Dao Chief deserves this lost phoenix bloodstone." Shao Mingqing said solemnly.
Xuan Zhenzi looked at his solemn appearance and looked stunned.
At that time, who was holding the phoenix bloodstone and risking his life to flatter himself?
………………………………………….
"Shui Ying, Shui Ying." Xie Roujia turned around from the window with some uneasiness, "You go to your son-in-law and listen, if it's wrong, you can help first." ”
These entourages of the Xie family, she still feels unreliable.
Shui Ying answered by pulling open the door and running out.
Xie Roujia exhaled and continued to look out the window.
"Miss's tea has been delivered."
Someone outside the door said.
Xie Roujia sighed, and heard the door knock.
"Put it down, and we'll talk about the snack later." She said.
No one answered, but footsteps approached.
Xie Roujia was inexplicably startled, and turned around suddenly, but it was still a step too late, and someone reached out and pressed against the wall by the window and leaned over to stick to it.
"Daughter-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, I really miss me."
A male voice that seemed to be smiling sounded in his ears.
Zhou Chengzhen!
Xie Roujia's hairs stand upside down!
