"Master, it's almost the second watch, and I'm going to go to court......"

On the luxurious bed carefully made of Annan rosewood, Xiu'er's little face was full of haggardness, and she carefully called Xu Changqing, who was still asleep, to get up.

Last night, with her confession, Xu Changqing temporarily revealed the matter, but he didn't say whether he really forgave her or not, and he didn't touch her, which made Xiu'er feel like she was roasted on the fire, and she didn't close her eyes all night.

At this time, being able to serve her husband to the court was originally the proudest and noble thing for all Ming women, but Xiu'er didn't have much joy.

It was her first time, but ...... She really didn't want to be the last time......

Xu Changqing slept very soundly this night, Xiu'er screamed for a while, and then she opened her eyes slowly.

"Master, slave, slave and maid to serve you......"

Xiu'er held back her tears and hurriedly began to serve Xu Changqing to dress and wash.

Seeing that Xiu'er's little face was full of haggardness, and her originally clear eyes were covered with a lot of bloodshots, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth lifted a slight arc, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, Xu Changqing already knew the background of Xiu'er and Li Lanfang's sisters, and to a large extent, he also sympathized with them, but the ambitions they had polished in this complex environment, Xu Changqing had to be trained well!

They are all young ladies from official eunuch families, and they were later brought out by Zhou Guoye at a low price from the Jiaofang Division through means, not to mention their personal qualities, they are also very familiar with the capital, and they have deep sisterhood, this is a treasure that is difficult to buy for a thousand gold!

Moreover, Xu Changqing also learned a big secret of Li Lanfang, and his mood was so happy, no less than winning a big lottery of five million!

It's okay to be ambitious, but it must be within your control!

After all, she was born as a little girl in Zhou Guoye's house, although she was wronged and still failed to keep her innocence, but Xiu'er's skills in serving people were still okay, and after a while, Zhou Zheng, who served Xu Changqing, put on her official robe, but the pity and helplessness in her eyes and little face couldn't hide it at all.

Seeing that Xu Changqing was about to go out and leave, she stood on the spot in a daze, as if the whole world was leaving her......

"What time is it?"

Xu Changqing suddenly smiled and asked the nervous maid outside the door, they also heard that the atmosphere in the room last night was not good, and they didn't dare to breathe at this time.

A maid hurriedly trembled and said, "Master, soon, it's going to be the second watch......

Xu Changqing smiled and suddenly beckoned to Xiu'er.

"......"

Xiu'er was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and hurriedly came to Xu Changqing's side carefully.

However, when Xu Changqing whispered in her ear, Xiu'er's little face instantly turned red, and the whole person seemed to come back to life in an instant, but it was a little twisted: "Master, this, this is about to go to court......"

"Where do you get all this? With this kung fu, can your belly be so uncompromising? ”

Xu Changqing didn't give her a good look.

But Xiu'er's beautiful eyes were suddenly bright, and she didn't have time to take care of anything else, so she knelt in front of Xu Changqing......

……

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Changqing got into the carriage refreshed, and behind him, Xiu'er waved her hand vigorously at Xu Changqing, her beautiful eyes were full of expectation, how could she be half haggard?

She had never experienced such an exciting thing in her life......

Watching Xiu'er's figure gradually become smaller, Xu Changqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes gradually became deeper.

The things of this world are nothing more than mental calculations and unintentional calculations!

The little girl likes stimulation, so give her stimulation!

When Xu Changqing came to the palace gate, just when the palace gate opened, Wu Sangui, Wang Pu, Zu Dale, Wang Tingchen and others had already been waiting here for a long time.

However, the dynasty is noble and martial, and it has always been the civil officials who go to the court first, even if Xu Changqing comes a little late, it will not be a big problem, even if he is really late, Xu Changqing also has capricious capital.

Seeing Xu Changqing coming, all the generals came over to exchange their latest news.

Wu Sangui said: "Changqing, is there any news?" This time, it's a little tighter. ”

Wang Pu and the others also looked at Xu Changqing.

Because this reward involves Jingying, many things have not been revealed, and they are still hidden until this time, I have to say that this is definitely a big step forward for Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court.

But even if Zhou Yanru was ruthless, he couldn't control it in the inner palace, Xu Changqing had already received many cores through the relationship between Gonggong Li.

"Hehe, I can't say it for the time being, this time the court is too tight, but we are here to reward us, and the emperor and the court will definitely not wronged us."

Even if he knew the inside story, how could Xu Changqing reveal it at this time, Piao Piao Ran was in the past.

Wu Sangui was a little speechless, but Xu Changqing didn't want to say it, and he couldn't help it.

Zu Dale wanted to say something to Xu Changqing, but even Wu Sangui couldn't ask, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

After a short time, the civil officials finished entering the court, and it began to be Xu Changqing's turn.

Everyone was not a chick, they were all very quiet, and the little eunuch who followed the guide entered the palace gate in turn.

Xu Changqing didn't say much, just looked at the tall blue tile red wall and was fascinated, and there was some indescribable feeling in his heart.

It's been the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and after entering the dynasty this time, if you go back here, you don't know what year it is......

Although it is about to reach Qingming, the weather in the morning is still a little cold, especially after arriving at the square in front of the Imperial Palace, God seems to be joking with Xu Changqing and them, and it actually rains.

Fortunately, today is not a traditional dynasty, only many high-ranking officials have entered the court, otherwise, those small bureaucrats in the capital will have bad luck, and the cold will be mild.

There are many Han generals and little eunuchs, and the white jade square in the rain is bleak but majestic.

Because they didn't have an umbrella and couldn't use an umbrella, Xu Changqing and others could only lean against the eaves of the red wall to avoid the cold spring rain.

Even the same is true of the uncles in Jingying, but they are clearly separated from Xu Changqing and others.

But how much rain can be blocked by this broken roof, everyone will soon be drenched.

Xu Changqing also sighed a little.

It's the spring rain, but between the red walls, it's more like the last autumn rain, how can this huge and majestic dynasty be saved, and how long can it resist?

Wu Sangui and the others were all drenched in the rain and had no energy, and they huddled on the palace wall one by one, not knowing what they were thinking.

At this time, not far away, a few little eunuchs suddenly carried a few large food boxes and trotted towards this side quickly.

Everyone was a little confused, some didn't understand what was going on.

Even Xu Changqing frowned a little.

Who has such a big face, this is obviously a breakfast delivery.

However, just as Xu Changqing was thinking about it, a purple-robed eunuch in his early thirties led by Xu Changqing glanced at Xu Changqing's side, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

After a moment, he hurriedly ran to Xu Changqing's side, and respectfully flattered: "You, you are the loyal uncle Xu Changqing, right?" ”

"It's down there. Father-in-law, what's the matter with you? ”

Xu Changqing was also a little confused for a while, he had always wanted to get through the relationship in the palace, but he had no way, but he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to come to the door.

The purple-robed eunuch nodded hurriedly and flattered Xu Changqing: "Uncle, the slave Li Desheng is the godgrandson of Duke Li, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" The slave maid happened to have some small errands in the imperial dining room and the worship room, and seeing that he and the masters had not yet eaten breakfast, they specially brought you some ......."

As he spoke, he was busy opening the stone box, and a steaming basket of xiaolongbao was suddenly revealed, as well as cups of hot soy milk.

Wu Sangui's eyes suddenly straightened a little.

Although they all ate something to pad their stomachs before going to the court, many of them were waiting outside the palace gate, and it was so cold, but they couldn't drink, and they were hungry for a long time.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but look up to this purple-robed eunuch Li Desheng a lot, and it turned out to be Gonggong Li's protégé.

Gonggong Li had mentioned to Xu Changqing before, the Son of Heaven now trusts him very much, and he has a greater right to speak in the palace, but Xu Changqing has never taken it seriously before, and now he understands that the complexity of the palace is by no means inferior to that of the court, even if the celebrant at this time has already existed in name only.

"Father-in-law Li, thank you."

Xu Changqing didn't say much, glanced at Gonggong Li again, and took the food box.

Father-in-law Li can do things like this, as if he is also an extremely smart person, he smiled respectfully at Xu Changqing, and left quickly, leaving only the two little eunuchs, and waited for everyone to finish eating and clean up the food box.

"Hehe, since it's Gonggong Li's heart, then let's divide and eat it, right?"

Xu Changqing didn't talk to Wu Sangui and the others, he directly took a basket of xiaolongbao, took a cup of soy milk, and ate and drank.

Wu Sangui and everyone looked at each other, but they didn't say much, and hurriedly ate it.

It's just that in the bottom of their hearts, everyone can't help but understand Xu Changqing's heritage more profoundly!

Who would have thought that in the palace, at the time of this dynasty, Xu Changqing would still have such a solid relationship!

Not far away, the uncles in Jingying were also stunned.

As the head snake in the capital, they never thought that things could still be played like this......

"The emperor has a decree to recruit loyal and righteous uncles Xu Changqing to meet him!"

"The emperor has a decree to recruit loyal and righteous uncles Xu Changqing to meet you——"

Not long after eating, outside the Imperial Palace, the shouts of eunuchs suddenly came.

None of the people expected that things would be so neat today, and they would arrive so soon, and they all looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing was also a little stunned, but he quickly reined in his mind and walked quickly in the direction of the majestic Imperial Palace.

"Minister, Zhongyibo, Xu Changqing, the chief military officer of the Shandong Left Association, has seen my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live......

He is no stranger to rewarding Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing at this time is not what it used to be, and the little eunuch who led the way also had to talk to Xu Changqing skillfully, and the waiter would lead Xu Changqing to the kneeling area.

Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be in a good mood today, and he cast a pleasant look at Xu Changqing.

After Wang Chengen's cumbersome reading, he also officially received Xu Changqing's reward.

Not surprisingly, Xu Changqing was not knighted, but added another 3,000 fiefdoms to Xu Changqing, plus the previous 5,000 fiefdoms, Xu Changqing already legally owned 8,000 fiefs under his name!

What is this concept?

8,000 households, at least 40,000 or 50,000 people, and these 450,000 people, who are almost equivalent to Xu Changqing's slaves, most of their output can be regarded as Xu Changqing's private property!

Although it is the icing on the cake and legitimizes the established facts that Xu Changqing already has, it is better than nothing.

However, Xu Changqing originally got the news that Boxing and Haifeng were both under his own rule and merged into the Shandong Left Association, however, at this time, the reward was only Boxing, and Haifeng did not mention anything.

Perhaps because he felt a little weak, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Xu Qing, my Ming Sheji, I still need to rely on you and other young heroes!" Work hard, I look forward to the day you reach the Marquis of Wanhu! ”

Xu Changqing was amused in his heart, but he was busy dressing up, and said respectfully: "Minister Xu Changqing, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
