As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and the silver ingots of five taels are heavy in the palm of his hand, and Xining's resentment towards Zhao Yan can't help but melt a lot.

"Oh, where does Zhao Shu often say?" Xi Ning changed from nostrils to the sky to a smile mode, and while stuffing the silver ingot into his sleeve, he said with a smile: "Zhao Shu Changchu was released from prison that day, which is excusable, and we are not unreasonable, so naturally we didn't take it to heart." ”

"Huh." Laughed falsely twice, Zhao Yan really couldn't let go of his body and deliberately married this kind of dead eunuch, so he arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then I won't disturb Father-in-law Xi and say goodbye." ”

"Zhao Shu often walks slowly." Xi Ning arched his hand with a smile, and then touched the heavy silver ingot in his sleeve like a treasure, and watched Zhao Yan leave.

Returning to the Maoqin Hall of the Qianqing Palace in a comfortable mood, Xining restrained the smile on his face, looked at the hall carefully, and saw that Zhu Qizhen was engrossed in looking at the question book handed over by the cabinet, and said his own opinions while reading, an old eunuch with white temples on the side held a Zhu pen, listened carefully to Zhu Qizhen's opinions, and sometimes wrote a few words on the question book.

Xining recognized this person, this is the great eunuch Jin Ying, who is second only to Wang Zhen in the inner court, and the current eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, whose qualifications are older than Wang Zhen, but he is serving Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, and the relationship with Zhu Qizhen is much farther than Wang Zhen, so after Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, Wang Zhen took the opportunity to take the throne and pressed Jin Ying in everything, but Jin Ying was diligent and did, and Zhu Qizhen had a good impression of him, so even Wang Zhen couldn't do too much.

Jin Ying is in his early fifties this year, originally a native of Annan, Yongle five years, Zhang Fu's army that conquered Annan brought some castrated, smart and handsome boys back to China, and then sent them to the palace, Jin Ying was one of them, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and then he went through Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji three dynasties, and now it is the era of Zhu Qizhen, which can be called the old eunuch of the four dynasties. and continued to serve as a pen eunuch in the celebrant eunuch, holding the power of 'approving red'.

Jin Ying grew up watching Zhu Qizhen, for this little emperor who lost his father at a young age and had to ascend the throne at the age of nine, Jin Ying was a little doting, he sat down, saw Zhu Qizhen kept rubbing his eyes and yawning, and said: "Your Majesty, the question sent by the cabinet today has been almost read, so it's better to rest." ”

Zhu Qizhen is really tired, he doesn't have the physical strength and energy of his great-ancestors and high-ancestors, although he also wants to work hard and govern the world like his ancestors, but he is just over the age of weak and has grown up in the deep palace, and he can't help but nod when he hears this, and said: "It's okay, Jin Daban and go first, I want to take a nap." ”

Jin Yingshi retreated, and after his figure disappeared into the majestic palace, Xi Ning crept into the hall and said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shu of the Hanlin Academy has often sent the follow-up of "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen's spirit was shocked, he finished reading the rest of the books collected by Xining in the past few days, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was not as good as "The Legend of the White Snake", and at this time he took over a stack of manuscripts presented by Xining, and Zhu Qizhen was inevitably immersed in the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" again.

By the time it was dark outside the hall, the imperial dining room had already sent someone to see it three times, but Zhu Qizhen still forgot about it, and everyone didn't dare to disturb him, so they could only stand outside the hall and wait.

After reading "The Legend of the White Snake" in one breath, Mayor Zhu Qi exhaled and secretly said with pleasure, and then felt empty in his stomach, and looked up at the hall at some point when a few thick candles were lit, and the outside of the hall was dark and dreary, so he suddenly shouted: "Someone, I'm hungry." ”

I don't know if he was hungry, or if the food made in the imperial dining room became delicious, Zhu Qizhen ate two or three percent more things than before, and only looked at the chef who was waiting in the imperial dining room very happy.

After dinner, Zhu Qizhen returned to the dormitory, still holding the stack of manuscripts in his hand.

Zhu Qizhen had already finished reading the large half stack of manuscripts in front of him, so he casually put them aside, and then set his eyes on the remaining small stacks of manuscripts.

"'Plum in the Golden Vase'." Zhu Qizhen silently recited the title of the book in his heart, and then couldn't help but start looking down.

The poem says: After the luxury goes, the pedestrians are absolute, and the zither does not sing...... At that time, the singers and dancers did not return, and turned into today's Xiling ashes.

Another poem said: Twenty-eight beautiful people are like crisps, and the sword on the waist slashes the fool. Although I don't see anyone's head falling, I secretly teach the monarch to have dry bone marrow.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help frowning, and a sense of strangeness unexpectedly appeared in his heart, and he felt that this book was probably far from the story in "The Legend of the White Snake".

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a merry son in Qinghe County, Dongping Prefecture, Shandong Province, who was born with a burly appearance, a chic temperament, and several family assets, aged twenty-six or seven

Word......

A small stack of manuscripts was only written in four or five chapters, and Zhu Qizhen read it quickly after reading it at night.

"Someone." Zhu Qizhen's face was a little red, and after a middle-aged eunuch on duty outside came in, he only heard Zhu Qizhen say: "Swing the Zhongcui Palace...... Slowly, Concubine Zhou gave birth soon...... Let's set up the Kunning Palace. ”

The middle-aged eunuch was stunned for a moment, when it was close to the son, Queen Qian of Kunning Palace was afraid that she had already fallen asleep, but the emperor spoke, we didn't know, we didn't dare to ask, just obediently.

Queen Qian is a native of Haizhou, one year older than Zhu Qizhen, her father is the commander of Qian Gui, orthodox seven years was established as the queen, virtuous and virtuous, and kept to herself, very much Zhu Qizhen's favor and respect, originally she had already fallen asleep, but a eunuch came to pass the decree, saying that the emperor would come later, and Queen Qian could only get up and dress up immediately.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qizhen got up to wash under the service of Queen Qian, seeing that after a night of moisturizing, Queen Qian's eyebrows were shy and timid, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but hold it in his arms, although the rest of the palace maids were a little shy when they saw this, they didn't dare to retreat, they could only stand in place with their heads down with toiletries and clothes in their hands, listening to the conversation between Zhu Qizhen and his wife.

"Zitong, how was I last night?"

“…… Your Majesty......"

"Call the official."

"Huh? Your Majesty...... How could an official ask a concubine like this? Shame on you. ”

"Hehe, I'm asking you."

“…… The concubine's legs are still a little weak now, huh......"

Queen Qian was so ashamed that her neck was red, and her whole face was buried in Zhu Qizhen's not wide arms, ashamed to see people.

"Haha, I know that you are bored in the harem, and I will send you a script to relieve your boredom later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I'm going to go to the court, it's still early, you can sleep for a while."

"The concubine sends your majesty."

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his eyebrows, and the ministers below couldn't help but feel a little lighter when they saw this.

When he returned to Maoqin Hall after the next court, Zhu Qizhen casually ordered a little eunuch to send "The Legend of the White Snake" to Kunning Palace, and then called Xining in.

"Xining."

"The slave is here."

"You go to Zhao Yan's house, and ask him if there is a follow-up if he sent it yesterday, if there is, he will bring it to me."

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

"Well, go and get back."

"Yes."

Xining thinks that he is just an ordinary little eunuch who can no longer be ordinary, he has no power and no backer in the palace, and it is difficult to get ahead, but he didn't expect to be sent out of the palace by the emperor one after another because of this book, this is an opportunity, as long as he can do the errand well, he must be able to improve his status in the emperor's heart, and maybe he can enter the twelve prisons to be a steward eunuch in the future, and he is also rough in writing, and then maybe he can go further and enter the celebrant eunuch, which is known as 'the name of the prime minister, Where there is the reality of the prime minister, he can compete with the cabinet of the outer court in a position of power.

Xining thought happily, the pace under her feet became more and more brisk, and she couldn't help but turn out a group of people at the corner of the palace in front of her, Xining's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly shivered when she saw the person who hit the head.

"Xining has seen the old ancestor, the old ancestor Wan'an."

Wang Zhen nodded, and was about to pass sideways with Xining, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped and asked, "Look at your hurried steps, what are you going to do?" ”

Xining secretly complained bitterly, and her eyes rolled back: "Back to the ancestors, Your Majesty sent Xining to do some trivial things outside the palace." ”

Wang Zhen asked again: "What's the matter?" ”

Xining knew that he couldn't prevaricate, so he didn't dare to continue to hide it, and said honestly: "Your Majesty read the "Legend of the White Snake" written by Zhao Yan, and I like it very much. ”

Wang Zhen was surprised, a few days ago he contracted the wind cold, every day he was confused and didn't want to see things, even the power to accompany Zhu Qizhen to read the question book was given to Jin Ying, I didn't expect that in the past few days, that Jishi Zhao Yan actually finished writing the follow-up of "The Legend of the White Snake" and dedicated it to the emperor, this is really a good calculation, once he is close to the emperor, then Mao Gui and Ma Shun will have to weigh it carefully if they want to move him again.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen didn't pay much attention to it, but just asked casually: "The Legend of the White Snake is still with Your Majesty?" ”

Xining replied: "Back to the old ancestor, he is no longer there, His Majesty sent someone to Kunning Palace to relieve the queen's boredom." ”

"Hmm." Wang Zhen didn't speak again, waved his hand and continued to walk forward.

Xining waited for Wang Zhen and his party to go away before wiping the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, then restrained his emotions and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace.

Zhu Qizhen casually put aside the manuscript of "Golden Vase Plum", and then opened "Taizong's Record" and was about to take a closer look, when Wang Zhen walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty." ”

Looking up and seeing Wang Zhen, Zhu Qizhen's face was overjoyed, and he got up and said, "I also said that I would visit Mr. in the afternoon, and Mr.'s illness has been cured?" ”

"The old slave's illness has been cured, thank you for your concern." Wang Zhen walked closer and saw Zhu Qizhen's manuscript casually put aside, so he picked it up and looked at it twice.

Zhu Qizhen was a little nervous, but when he thought that he was already pro-government and was no longer the ignorant child he was at the beginning, his mood relaxed again.
