Concubine Xiang was extremely excited when she heard Hama's promise, "Ning Xiang thanked the adults for her father and brother first." ”

Hama smiled and nodded, and then got to the point: "Your Majesty has been disturbed by nightmares many times in recent days, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Concubine Xiang nodded honestly, "I can roughly guess one or two." ”

"Since you know it in your heart, you must not touch Your Majesty's scales, just have fun with him, and don't take the initiative to talk about court affairs, especially military power!"

"Then if Your Majesty takes the initiative to talk about it, how should I answer it?"

Hama replied confidently: "Don't worry, with what I know about Your Majesty, he will never ask you these things directly, but Your Majesty may mention to you about Lord Tokhtar." ”

"Prime Minister...... Concubine Xiang thought for a moment, and after thinking about the connection, she nodded again, "Ning Xiang understands." ”

Hama also did not play dumb riddles, and explained the changes in the emperor's psychology in combination with the recent changes in the court situation: "Your Majesty is now reusing the two adults of Tokhtar and Yexian, and they are brothers, so the military and political power of the whole country has been handed over to the hands of one family, and Your Majesty is also worried about this." ”

Concubine Xiang stared at her, thought for a moment, and said her idea: "Later, I will tell the eunuch to light some soothing incense, and serve Your Majesty to sleep comfortably, and I must have forgotten these troubles." ”

Hama nodded approvingly, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

Concubine Xiang raised her head, only to find that the two had arrived at the gate of the palace unconsciously.

When the eunuch guarding the door saw the two of them, they immediately wanted to sing loudly, but they were stopped by Hama and asked softly, "Your Majesty is sober?" ”

The eunuch lowered his voice and said, "I just tossed for a while, and I got better after drinking some tranquilizing soup sent by the imperial doctor." ”

"I'll go in and take a look, you go and send someone to get some soothing incense, and quietly change it when Concubine Xiang waits."

The eunuch didn't dare to delay when he got Hama's orders, so he hurried to do it.

Only then did Hama take a deep breath, gently pushed open the door of the palace, and asked Concubine Xiang to go first, while the other remaining eunuch closed the door lightly.

Emperor Zhizheng liked to take a nap anytime and anywhere, so most of the side halls and study rooms were set up with exquisite and soft beds, and this Qingxin Hall was the place where he often came to take a nap.

There are so many partial palaces, and Emperor Zhizheng chose a "Pure Heart Palace", which is enough to see how irritable and anxious he is in his heart, and his desire to change to a good mood.

Hama naturally had to be 100% sure that he dared to meet the emperor when he was upset, so that it would not be self-defeating, and the concubine Xiang next to him was 50% sure.

The emperor was keen on Tibetan tantric Buddhism, which can be seen from the decoration of the Qingxin Palace, and after Hama and Xiangfei entered the palace, they had to bypass more than ten prayer flags and veils to see the dragon's face.

"Oh, here you are."

Emperor Zhizheng, who was sitting on the bed, had a somewhat glazed gaze, obviously not yet recovering from the terrifying nightmare.

Concubine Xiang was also the first time to see Emperor Zhizheng in such a state, and she didn't know what words to find to open the scene for a while, or Hama was more skilled in changing into a sneering appearance and walked to the emperor's side first.

"Your Majesty, the minister found a good treasure among the people yesterday, and I can't wait to come and present it to Your Majesty today."

"Oh? Good baby? ”

There are all kinds of rare things in the palace, so much so that Emperor Zhizheng has seen for a long time what objects are worthy of the title of "good baby".

Concubine Xiang secretly sighed in her heart that Hama's ability to please the emperor is really unmatched, and she doesn't know what good things she can come up with this time.

Seeing that the emperor was attracted, Hama carefully pulled out a finely carved rectangular jade box from his sleeve robe, and the surface of the jade box was engraved with auspicious patterns, so that people could know how valuable the contents were at a glance.

"I'm afraid that this jade box alone is a good baby!" Concubine Xiang sighed in her heart.

However, Emperor Zhizheng's eyes were not attracted by the texture of the jade box, but hurriedly took it into his hand to observe its workmanship.

"Good craftsmanship!" Emperor Zhizheng let out a sound of admiration without hesitation, and immediately asked eagerly: "Hama, which jade mason is this jade box from?" Find him quickly! ”

Ha Ma smiled, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty's eyes, this jade box is the work of a seventy-year-old jade stonemason in the folk, regardless of the preciousness of the jade, this craft alone is a priceless treasure." ”

Emperor Zhizheng is an expert in this, where do you need Hama to explain, and impatiently continue to ask: "I ask you?" Where are the people? I want to worship him as a teacher! ”

Concubine Xiang was shocked when she heard this, for fear that she had heard something wrong, and the king of a country actually wanted to worship a jade stonemason as a teacher?

Ha Ma was not surprised, but the smile on his face suddenly changed to a look of pity, and said with a bitter face: "How can the minister not know His Majesty's love for talent?" Since he saw this jade box, he immediately sent someone to find this person, but it was a pity that ......"

Emperor Zhizheng did not hide his anxious appearance, and urged: "What is a pity? Can't you find it? Send someone to put up a notice, and make sure to find this person! ”

"Your Majesty, this old man passed away two months ago." Hama replied pitifully.

"Oops! It's a pity! It's a pity! Emperor Zhizheng was extremely sorry when he heard this, and sighed several times in a row.

It wasn't until Emperor Zhizheng eased his emotions that Hama suddenly turned to raise his tone and said confidently: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be sad, although this person has passed away, a treasure that he has not left for decades has been found by the minister." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Zhizheng's eyes immediately lit up again: "Where is it?" ”

"Far away, close at hand." Ha Ma smiled and pointed to the jade box in Emperor Zhizheng's hand.

"Hahaha, I patronized and looked at the jade box, but I forgot that there was a good 'baby' in it!" As he spoke, Emperor Zhizheng untied the exquisite rope buckle tied to the seal of the jade box.

At this time, not only Emperor Zhizheng was full of expectations, but even Concubine Xiang couldn't help but stand on her toes a little and poke out her neck to look.

"Hey, this is ......" Emperor Zhizheng looked at the things in the box with some surprise, and saw that there were three knives in the box, which should be carved knives to be precise.

The blades of these three knives are the length of a thumb and look extremely sharp, and the handles are jade grips made of careful hama.

Concubine Xiang couldn't help but be a little surprised, it's just three knives, what can be precious? Isn't there another mystery?

Emperor Zhizheng became silent, and after putting the jade box on his lap, he concentrated on taking out the three carving knives and rubbing them separately.
