Chapter 500: Little Douding's suspicions
The attitude of the ministers was something that Qianqiu didn't expect at the beginning, and it was obvious that he underestimated Xiao Chumo's influence and overestimated the temperament of those ministers.
Originally, I thought that I needed to use some means to make those old antiques convincingly admit their position as the high priest, but I didn't expect that now I could save these efforts. But it didn't hurt either, and it was just right for him to plan next.
Although the title of high priest may sound very important and sacred, it is actually just a name, except for the occasional important event in the palace to preside over the festival, it is also a very idle position.
Xiao Chumo originally gave Qianqiu this position after careful consideration. After all, this person has known them for a short time, and it is impossible to see at a glance the temperament and temperament; But he cured the little emperor, and he can be regarded as a favor with the royal family, so this reward naturally cannot be neglected. So he gave him the title of high priest, and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver, which was regarded as returning the favor as soon as possible.
Qianqiu is a person with exquisite thoughts, if he really wants to count it, he is afraid that he will not lose to Yu Panxi and Liu Suifeng at all. Even if Xiao Chumo didn't know what to say, he could probably guess most of the reasons. So he accepted the reward with a smile, turned his head and exchanged it for broken silver, and when he walked around the palace, he gave some out from time to time.
Whether it was an official in the previous dynasty or a mother in the harem, the reward for his servants was indispensable. Even in many cases, if you give less, you will be ridiculed by the minions in private, and you will quietly stumble in various places.
Qianqiu naturally understands this truth, and he understands even more that if you really want to win people's hearts, it is not enough to rely on silver taels.
Therefore, when he is in front of outsiders, he has always been as warm as the wind, and his attitude makes people feel very comfortable, whether he treats people or receives things. In addition, his appearance is already good-looking, and his shots are very generous, which adds some goodwill to him.
In a short period of time, the palace people in the palace were full of respect and admiration when they saw this high priest, and that posture was even much more respectful than when they saw the little emperor!
"Daddy, I don't like that uncle!"
Xiao Douding came into the palace to play with the little emperor, and he had seen Qianqiu several times from afar. Although this person had lived in his house for a few days before, he didn't like Qianqiu very much, or even hated it, whether it was before or now.
Xiao Chumo didn't know where his son was so hostile to Qianqiu, but he couldn't scold him, so he could only coax him a few words in a good voice, and then sent him to play with the little emperor.
Speaking of which, although the little emperor is respected as the emperor and sits in the position of the ninety-five honor that everyone wants to touch, he is still just a child in the final analysis. Although Xiao Chumo really wanted to quickly teach the little emperor how to deal with the government and how to show the power of the emperor, this kind of thing was always in a hurry, and he couldn't force it too hard, so as not to let him develop a temperament like Mo Baozhou. Therefore, in addition to homework and study, he still agreed to let Xiaodouding enter the palace to accompany the little emperor to play for a while.
"Why don't you like the high priest? He healed me and treated everyone very gently, he was a very nice person! ”
The two children were tired of playing, lying on the stone table in the imperial garden, but the little emperor's eyes were very puzzled looking at Xiao Douding.
His only friend seemed to have always had a great opinion of the High Priest, and had told him several times to stay away from him. But he really didn't understand, where was the danger of being as gentle as the high priest?
But for the little emperor's questions, even Xiao Douding himself can't say it. He scratched his head irritably, and muttered a reply, "I don't know, I just don't feel like he's a good person!" Although the uncle smiled every day, I didn't dare to look into his eyes, I always felt that those eyes were frightening. ”
This is the truth in his heart, from the first time he saw Qianqiu in the Regent's Palace, he shivered inexplicably, and always felt a little afraid of those eyes. So when Qianqiu lived in the Regent's Mansion, Xiao Douding almost avoided him, and at the same time, he was also avoiding those eyes.
Little Douding didn't know why he felt that way, but he felt that since that person was so dangerous, he had to keep his friends away from danger.
But after all, the little emperor is still just a child, and he doesn't have the keen sense of Xiao Douding, and his heart has long been bought by Qianqiu's means, and he trusts the latter very much. Now Little Douding coldly told him that the high priest was very dangerous, and he would not believe it anyway. But even so, he didn't want to lose this good friend, so he softly counted the benefits of the high priest, trying to get Little Douding to accept him too.
The two sides had their own opinions, and they argued for a long time in the imperial garden, but in the end, the little emperor couldn't argue, and led the topic to the newly developed pastries in the imperial dining room, which led Xiao Douding's attention away. The two children were very greedy, and as they spoke, they walked towards the imperial dining room, apparently wanting to have another pastry before dinner.
However, after the two left, a figure turned out from behind a rockery in the Imperial Garden, looking at the direction where the two left and his face sank. It was less than twenty paces away from the stone table where the two children were sitting, and I think what they said should have been heard by this person.
Originally, Qianqiu was just passing by here, and he was going to the library to consult the materials, but when he walked by here, he happened to hear the words asked by the little emperor. He felt that something was not quite right in his heart, so he dodged and hid behind the rockery, and naturally heard Xiaodouding's next words clearly.
He looked at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, which had disappeared with a gloomy face, but his hand subconsciously touched his eyes.
It is said that eyes are the most common flaw for pretenders, but he thinks that his camouflage skills are excellent, and even a smart person like Xiao Chumo has been concealed. But why can this little child see his true nature at a glance?
"It's really, so dangerous......"
Qianqiu muttered softly, but the corners of his lips quietly hooked up a curvature, which looked weird and dangerous, which just matched all the descriptions that Xiao Douding had given him.
However, such a look only appeared for a moment, and when Chiaki turned to leave the Imperial Garden, his face returned to the gentle smile that he had left in everyone's impression. But what flickered in that eye was a light called bad intentions.
Although the high priest only needed to preside over the festival and other matters, Qianqiu had never been exposed to these things before, so he returned to the imperial study to find Xiao Chumo and asked him carefully, and finally asked the latter to take a warrant, saying that he wanted to go to the library to check the information.
