In the Qingyuan Hall of the Imperial Palace, Zhu Chengyuan will review and read the folds every day until late, and Qiu Sihai, the chief of the Inner Palace, will carefully remind the emperor Zhu Chengyuan to rest every night, but every time it will be gone.

Qiu Sihai quietly placed a bowl of nourishing brain soup from the imperial dining room on Zhu Chengyuan's desk as usual, waiting for Zhu Chengyuan's gaze. But to his disappointment, His Majesty the Emperor did not react at all, and now he was not sure whether his master was aware of his existence or not.

Qiu Sihai stood quietly aside, carefully watching His Majesty the Emperor's every move, if there is anyone in this world who knows Emperor Zhu Chengyuan best, it is undoubtedly this big internal manager Qiu Sihai who has watched Zhu Chengyuan grow up since childhood, even today's queen can only look at him. Qiu Sihai noticed that His Majesty the Emperor tonight was a little different from before, and Zhu Chengyuan, who was frowning, had been in a hunched posture for almost an hour, motionless and did not say a word. Thinking back to today's early dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to have any words, but he had been listening calmly to the reports of the ministers, and even His Majesty the Emperor didn't look at him when the new first assistant Lord Lai Silai gave advice, and Qiu Sihai couldn't help but secretly worry.

Seeing that the master was startled by himself, Qiu Sihai hurriedly knelt on his knees, and said with his butt facing the sky and his head: "Your Majesty forgives me, it is the old slave who is abrupt." ”

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan hurriedly put down the hard hair in his hand, walked around the case quickly, grabbed Qiu Sihai's arms with both hands, and said softly: "Qiu Sihai, how many times have I told you, don't kneel when you're old." ”

"Your Majesty, this can't be helped, the old slave has never thought about seeing the master without kneeling in his life, if the old slave does that, then he is really old." Qiu Sihai's head was lowered.

Looking at the master who didn't have dinner at night, Qiu Sihai felt distressed for a while, and said something rebellious, just like the distress of the elders to the younger generations.

Qiu Sihai finally couldn't help it, and whispered: "Your Majesty, drink this soup while it's hot, the imperial chef in the imperial dining room said that this is a nourishing soup, which is very replenishing." ”

Zhu Chengyuan was taken aback by Qiu Sihai's reminder, raised his head and smiled helplessly: "When you came, I didn't pay attention." ”

Qiu Sihai still wanted to say something gratefully, but Zhu Chengyuan raised his hand to stop him: "We don't have to talk like this between the two of us in the future, I am vain and wrongful with those ministers on weekdays, and you are still like this after finally retreating from the court, too tired." Even when I arrived at the queen, I was mostly polite, mostly because of my identity as the emperor. Sometimes I envy Rice and his tigress, that's what a normal person should have. Don't look at the serious appearance of the Lai Si people, I heard that as soon as I go home, I will be a market splasher, not to mention how disgusting it is to be flattering. ”

Seeing Zhu Chengyuan's energetic appearance when he talked about Laisi, Qiu Sihai burst out laughing. The emperor's tired appearance just now seemed to disappear in an instant because of Laisi, and he didn't know what kind of ability this Lai-sama had, recalling that every time he met His Majesty the Emperor, he was happy, maybe this was the innate magic of the cabinet chief.

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan smiled and smiled as if he remembered something, and quickly turned back to the case and stared at the topography map of the northern Xinjiang of China and the urgent military report sent from the northern Xinjiang urgently on the table, and muttered: "Why don't I just be a tigress of the Anli people." ”

Zhu Chengyuan pretended to be angry and said, "What, now my words don't work for you?" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare." Although he kept saying it, Qiu Sihai did not destroy the ancestral etiquette system in his heart, he still had to kneel, which was a very common thing for a person like him. But for Zhu Chengyuan, the old eunuch who has served him all his life is no longer a nominal personal internal manager, but more like his family in another sense.

His Majesty the Emperor pulled up the big inner tube and said with a smile: "I know what you think, but even if you are within the walls of this palace, you don't have to treat yourself as a slave all day long, I can ignore other little eunuchs, you can't, for so many years, even a stone should be covered with heat." ”

On the Cabinet Minister's Residence, except for the large lanterns hanging in the corridor and on both sides of the gate of the Lai Mansion, the rest have long been extinguished. Originally, His Majesty the Emperor said that he would change a big house after he officially entered the cabinet, but Lai Si said that he did not agree to anything, and the emperor asked the reason, and Lai Si said that the tigress at home was used to it, and he did not dare to change it, and he did not dare to call the shots.

His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know that Laisi's mind is not here, how can people who care about the world all day care about how they live. It is said that the family of the successive Shoufu of Huaguo belongs to the most shabby of his Laisi, but in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, no matter which dynasty or generation of the famous assistant, there is no current Laisi living chic.

The chief housekeeper of Laifu called Lai Si five or six times, but there was no movement inside, and he helplessly glanced at the big inner pipe that came out of the palace behind him, and simply stepped forward and knocked on it. As the faint light turned on, a strong voice came out, "Who, why does the old lady just fall asleep and keep chattering." ”

Qiu Sihai was said to be in the clouds, a man, or an emperor, actually said that he wanted to be a tigress, so the big inner tube couldn't cry or laugh.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't care about Qiu Sihai, and without raising his head, he ordered: "Qiu Sihai, go and let Lai Si and Wang Yongwen enter the palace now, and say that I have something urgent to find them." ”

Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's anxious appearance, how dare Qiu Sihai delay, even if it is already ugly.

"You have a lot of things to do every day, so don't do this Shoufu, you still don't listen, and you can't sleep well even if you sleep!"

"Madam, what are you doing here, it's not for me to decide."

", it's annoying to see you."

"Madame, ma'am, don't, don't."

"Get out of here."

"Ma'am, what does this matter to me?"

"If you reply to Lord Lai's words, Your Majesty will urgently summon." Qiu Sihai lowered his head and said.

Generally, there is no major event, and His Majesty the Emperor will not rush to recruit ministers into the palace at night, because the Qingyuan Hall is indeed far away from the residence of the adults.

"Who else but me?" Rice asked eagerly.

"Come on, the little one is coming?"

A laugh of "poof", followed by a small slap: "Hurry up and see what's going on." ”

The door opened, Lai Si walked out tremblingly in his coat, and saw Qiu Sihai behind the big housekeeper at a glance, frowned, and asked, "Father-in-law Qiu, what's wrong." ”

Qiu Sihai replied: "There is also Lord Wang, the head of the military department. ”

Lai Si's brows furrowed even tighter, and in the middle of the night, the three more urgently recruited the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the military department into the palace, except for the border war, Lai Si really couldn't think of anything else that could make His Majesty the current emperor so anxious.
