Zhu Qiming returned to Qiupu Xuan and returned to that simple and cold place. He quietly glanced at the empty hall, moved the two extinguished stoves to the inner room, and then sat alone at the desk, half-closed his eyes, enjoying the special pleasure of solitude.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Hearing the loud voice of the chamberlain, he didn't hear it until the footsteps sounded in front of the door, and he calmly got up and stepped forward.

"Qi Ming, the king of Chenyue, knocks to see His Majesty, and bows to the Holy Majesty."

The emperor's complexion is excellent, and the dark color between his eyebrows and eyes is gone. The Ninety-Five Emperor wanted to step forward and help Zhu Qiming up with his own hands, and at a glance, he saw that the cousin who had not been seen for several years had a solemn posture and an awe-inspiring look on his face, and then he realized that the King of Yue had become an adult, and the "third brother" who came and went when he was summoned no longer existed, although the King Yue in front of him was a subordinate of the Son of Heaven, but he was already pampered and not surprised.

The emperor stood there for a moment of wandering.

"Hurry up, please!"

The five ministers stood behind the emperor and bowed, "See His Royal Highness King Yue." ”

Zhu Qiming got up, his eyes slowly swept over the faces of Cao Nai, Chen Xun, Ma Yu, Miao Zhen, and Gao Gu, and then bowed his hand in return.

The emperor moved his eyes to the hall, and always felt that something was wrong, but his mind didn't have time to fall on Qiupu Xuan.

"King Yue, it's not that I deliberately snubbed you, it's really that the court affairs are cumbersome, and I don't have time to be distracted."

"Your Majesty is Your Majesty's Ming Jun, and your Majesty is an idle king who is a minister, how dare you worry about Your Majesty!"

The emperor stared at Zhu Qiming's slightly drooping eyebrows and smiled, "You are not idle, 'you are worried about the king when you are far away from the rivers and lakes', you are worrying about me." ”

"The minister is just catching up, and others will do it."

Cao Nai took a step forward, "Your Majesty, it can be said that it was a coincidence that King Yue rescued the Korean envoys in Shunyi County, but he also persuaded him to retreat in Liaodong, and today he calmed down the dispute between Annan and Zhancheng, this is not a coincidence, King Yue can solve the great disaster of Sheji!" ”

"King Yue can do difficult things that others can't do, and the credit lies in Sheji!" Chen Xun echoed.

Social Enterprise? The emperor smiled, stared at him, and his expression changed several times, reflecting his wavering heart.

"Knock on His Majesty the Emperor!"

Wang Zhen, Hu Hui, and Xining gasped and entered one after another, obviously hurrying after knowing the emperor's whereabouts. Zhu Qiming glanced at the three of them, and read Hu Hui's embarrassment and Wang Zhen and Xining's uneasiness from the subtle expressions.

Borggett! Zhu Qiming wanted to scream, and wanted to see Xining's severed finger and the sword wound on his buttocks, but unfortunately Xining's robe and long sleeves covered everything. However, such a thought was fleeting, and under the seemingly casual observation of the emperor, his gaze instantly fell on Feng Duo outside the door.

"Flat." The emperor waved at Wang Zhen and the other three, and his eyes swept over Zhu Qiming's face.

Wang Zhen, Hu Hui, and Xining turned to Zhu Qiming to salute, "See His Royal Highness King Yue"

Zhu Qiming returned the salute to the three of them, secretly admiring Wang Zhen's performance skills. Wang Zhen broke the convention of exempting the emperor from courtesy, and performed the sacrament with Hu Hu and Xining, just to erase the sense of disobedience caused by rashly giving him a salute to the prince, everything seemed so invisible.

If Wang Zhen does not salute the Son of Heaven but directly salutes a prince, it is simply against the sky!

Seeing Zhu Qiming saluting Wang Zhen, Hu Hu, and Xining, the emperor smiled lightly, and his eyes fell on Zhu Qiming's clothes.

The evil poison of King Yue in front of him has been resolved, and his appearance can be called a nail art capital, but there seems to be something wrong······ Hey, he's dressed in ordinary clothes, how can he still look like a prince!

"King Yue, where is your prince's crown robe and regular clothes?"

Hearing this, Feng Duo entered, "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has no crown robe and regular clothes, and when he feasted the envoys of Annan and Champ, he borrowed the crown robe of King Yu and asked someone to return it." ”

The emperor turned his head to look at Xining, opened his mouth to say something, and soon paused again.

Zhu Qiming saw it in his eyes, and immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty has every opportunity, and the inner chamberlain is busy, and the queen mother thought of this layer, so she ordered the female officials to rush to make the prince's crown robe and regular clothes, which are expected to be completed in a few days." ”

The emperor was stunned, "It's rare that you are so sensible!" With a turn of his eyes, he looked at the interior furnishings of Qiupu Xuan, and immediately his face sank, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something harsh, and suddenly looked at Feng Duo again, and said in a low voice: "You are the only one who serves King Yue?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yue is a small slave by his side."

The emperor pondered for a moment, and his eyes swept to Wang Zhen, "Sir······" It only started and then came to an abrupt end.

Zhu Qiming said with a smile: "The minister has just arrived, and he hasn't seen the prince yet, and the prince probably doesn't know the details of Qiupu Xuanli." ”

Over there, Chen Xun shook his head, "When King Yue entered Beijing, the emperor must have instructed the inner chamberlain. In the final analysis, no matter where a prince lives or where he is going, he is always a prince, how can the emperor regard the king of Yue as a commoner! ”

Plebs? Isn't there a place to live? You can also go to the same hall to eat and drink, which is like a commoner! Wang Zhen was annoyed that Chen Xun was talkative, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure, and he was only afraid of hating a large group of internal officials and cronies to death, although those people had always acted according to his preferences as the chief eunuch, allowing him to enjoy the pleasure of calling for wind and rain, and he was too addicted to "one person under ten thousand people", but they were in a hurry at this juncture, and their brains turned slower than pigs, isn't this adding to the chaos!

Zhu Qiming chuckled again, "The prince wants to serve His Majesty in the government, how can he leave his post without permission?" At present, everyone's mind is on the major affairs of the society, and the ministers have food, drink and a place to live, and they do not feel that they have been wronged. ”

The emperor glanced at Zhu Qiming suspiciously, not believing that such words would come from his cousin's mouth, but the doubts were just a popping up, how could he have the leisure to be suspicious? The embarrassment of his own son of heaven is also obvious! There was anger in his eyes, and when he turned to look at Wang Zhen, he changed his face to be friendly, "······ first" After Zhu Qiming screamed indiscriminately for the prince and the prince, the word "sir" couldn't be called, "Check carefully, see which stupid slave is so careless." ”

Without waiting for Wang Zhen to admit it, Ma Yu over there exclaimed: "Why is this Qiupu Xuan so cold?" After staying here for less than a moment, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave! ”

As if he was infected, the emperor's body trembled slightly, "Feng Duo, on such a cold day, why don't you make a stove?" ”

Feng Duo searched blankly for the missing stove in the hall, and Zhu Qiming replied first: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to send thirty catties of red Luo charcoal, and the ministers did not dare to use it without permission. ”

"Qiupu Xuan's Red Luo Tan actually wants the Queen Mother to share it from her own use!" The emperor's eyes showed a chill, and his snort gradually worsened, seeing that the thunderous anger was about to erupt.

At this moment, Zhu Qiming suddenly thought of Feng Duo, "Most of the internal officials are dutiful, I hope Your Majesty will calm his anger." Take Feng Duo as an example, he has served the Empress Dowager for many years, and has been out with his ministers for several years, regardless of gains and losses, regardless of the future, he is worthy of being the person trained by the Empress Dowager during her lifetime! When the minister thought of his loyalty to the Empress Dowager, he felt ashamed of him. Today, Tian Li and Shi Bang of the Salary Saving Division have come to Qiupu Xuan, and asked Feng Duo to go to the Salary Saving Division to receive thirty catties of red Luo Tan, they have a good intention, how can Feng Duo not appreciate it? It's just that Feng Duo wants to go to the Huitong Pavilion with his ministers today, so he put aside the matter of taking charcoal. ”

Feng Duo's mouth was deflated, and his stomach seemed to be aggrieved, "His Royal Highness King Yue is only a little slave by his side, and Father-in-law Tian has orders, but the little slave dares to disobey his orders?" After a pause, he muttered, "Who called the little slave a little Duozi!" ”

"Little Duozi?" The emperor turned around angrily and went out, and a thunderous roar came from outside the door: "Tian Li and a bunch of stupid slaves are only worthy of sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard in the straight hall!" ”
