Chapter 21: Tickle
Qin Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart, the emperor said that he would be rewarded again, and this time the reward should not be another king, right? It should be no worse than the night pearl awarded to Jiang Bin!
A heart thumped violently with excitement, eager to hear the reward of righteousness. But it didn't show it on his face at all. smiled slightly, and said very flatteringly, "Your Majesty, the grass people were anxious when they saw the concubine Niangniang falling into the water, and they couldn't wait to save the concubine immediately, but they didn't want the emperor's reward!" ”
The more Qin Li said this, the happier Zhengde was in his heart. Heartily said, "Hehe, I know, I know, Qin Li, although you are a small people, you care about the safety of the concubine and the world of my Ming Dynasty!" ”
As soon as Zhengde said this, Jiang Yao, who had been standing with his head down and silent, almost fainted on the spot. Secretly, he cares about the big tomorrow? That's a big joke! He is an out-and-out flatterer, who doesn't care about the life and death of the people of the Ming Dynasty!
Jiang Bin was even more sad in his heart, hating Qin Li to death. He secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to drive Qin Li away from the emperor as soon as possible, but he couldn't let him get close to the emperor anymore. If he is allowed to develop, his position will definitely be lost, and sooner or later he will be replaced by Qin Li. There was a cold light in his gloomy eyes, and it was extremely cold.
Before Zhengde could say anything about the reward, Liu Niangniang was suddenly dressed in an emerald green silk shirt, and her delicate body loomed out of the inner paragraph.
When Zhengde saw it, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Aifei, you don't have a good rest, why did you come out again at this time?" But I'm going to take care of my body! ”
"The concubine's health is fine, I heard that the emperor was going to reward Qin Li, and the concubine came out to take a look!" Liu Niangniang swallowed the voice of the warbler, smiled coquettishly, and said in a charming manner.
"It was Qin Li who saved the life of the concubine, I must reward him heavily!" Zhengde said firmly.
"Yes! Your Majesty, Qin Li is indeed a good person, if it weren't for him, maybe he would be a cheap concubine...... The concubine will never see the emperor again! Liu Niangniang's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she choked up.
Zhengde was just about to speak, but Liu Niangniang changed her words, and then said, "Your Majesty, the concubine looks at Qin Li everywhere, but it's just ...... It's just that his mouth ......"
"Yes, Qin Liling's teeth are sharp, I like it very much!" Zhengde said with a smile.
"No, Your Majesty, the concubine is saying that Qin Li's mouth sometimes speaks very hurtful!" Liu Niangniang said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Qin Li's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and his head slammed. Secretly said, it's over, it's over, I said in the water that Liu Niangniang wants to lose weight She heard it. Although she saved her life, she will take revenge! This time, I said that I was rewarded by the emperor, and I am afraid that even my life will be lost here!
Thinking of this, Qin Li instantly felt as if he was in an ice cellar, cold! It's extremely cold from the body to the heart. He couldn't wait to slap his two mouths hard, why did this mouth owe it so much!
Zhengde was also stunned, glanced at Liu Niangniang suspiciously, and hesitated, "What did the concubine say......?" ”
"It's nothing, the concubine just talks casually, and it's also for Qin Li's sake, just to remind him, what to say and what not to say!" Liu Niangniang stopped and stopped talking.
Speaking of which, this Liu Niangniang is actually a very kind woman, Qin Li saved her, and she is grateful to Qin Li. But after returning to the palace, she was lying on the couch and suddenly remembered what Qin Li said about her thick waist, and she couldn't help but turn crimson again, very embarrassed.
Because Qin Li is a common person after all, she is worried that Qin Li will go around talking about her after he goes home, and everyone in Yangzhou and even the world will know that she is not a stunning beauty, but has some flaws, which is not good. It was only then that he hurriedly came out and beat Qin Li.
Zhengde didn't seem to understand, and when he saw Liu Niangniang's pitiful look, I couldn't ask deeply when I saw the pitiful look, so I had to smile lightly, "What Concubine Ai said is true." ”
Turning his head to look at Qin Li, he said solemnly, "Qin Li, you should be vigilant in the future, the things in this palace are naturally nonsense with ordinary people!" ”
At this time, Qin Li's heart finally settled down, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The grass people understand, the grass people will not go outside to talk nonsense!" ”
Zhengde nodded lightly, touched it from his arms, and then looked left and right, saw a Ruyi on the table, picked it up, and said, "Qin Li, this Ruyi was originally my royal thing, and I will reward you today." ”
Ruyi means to tickle.
According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, whether he was in the upper court or under the court, always took an itch in his hand.
Zhu Yuanzhang is Zhengde's idol, so he followed Zhu Yuanzhang and made Tickle. At first, I couldn't put it down, and it felt very fun. But Zhengde didn't have any longevity, and he didn't use it for a few days after it was made. The eunuch beside him was worried that this benevolent brother would not know when he remembered this thing again, so he didn't dare to put it away, so the emperor had to take it carefully wherever he went, so that Zhengde could see it at any time.
Listening to Zhengde's reward, Qin Li really couldn't cry or laugh. What wishful thinking, isn't it just an itch? Alas! Life is bitter, this itch and the reward for Jiang Bin really can't be compared!
Hehe! If Qin Li learned that Zhu Yuanzhang's Ruyi was also rewarded by a person, that person was called Hu Weiyong, it is estimated that Qin Li would have to hit the wall at this time.
Qin Li was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. On the contrary, he pretended to be extremely happy, grateful, and said loudly, "The grass people thank the emperor!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”
"Hehe, get up!"
Qin Li stood up as he said and took the Ruyi from Zhengde's hand.
This Ruyi is red and purple in color, and I can't tell what material it is made of. It is about a foot long, the tip is in the shape of a cloud head, and the handle is slightly curved, but the workmanship is particularly exquisite.
Carefully examined, there are four very neat small characters engraved on the handle of Ruyi: Zhengde Emperor.
Zhengde yawned, looked at Qin Li, who was still a little damp in his clothes, and said, "It's getting late today, and it's very hard for you to save my concubine, I will give you a day off, and I won't be here tomorrow." Tomorrow I will study that billiards myself, and the day after tomorrow you will accompany me to have a good time, and by the way, I will teach me breakdancing! ”
"The grass people listen to the emperor!" After Qin Li finished speaking, he said goodbye to the emperor and left.
Jiang Yao had long wanted to leave, and at this time she also took the opportunity to hurriedly resign.
It's the middle of the night, Zhengde is really tired, and he waved his hand lazily, "Let's go, let's go, I'm tired too!" ”
Qin Li and Jiang Yao walked out side by side.
As soon as he left the council hall, a sissy voice came from behind him, "Prince Qin, please go slowly, the emperor will reward you with the God of Wealth!" ”
Qin Li turned around and saw that it was an old eunuch with gray hair, the chief eunuch was kind and kind-eyed, and he was chasing after Qin Li with the soft-shelled turtle caught by Zhengde in his hand.
Qin Li really forgot about the God of Wealth, although he was only a king, but after all, it was a reward from the emperor, if he didn't take good care of it, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the emperor? Qin Li hurriedly stepped forward and said embarrassedly, "There is Father-in-law Lao!" Thank you, father-in-law! ”
"Qin Gongzi only cared about saving the concubine at that time, and forgot about this God of Wealth, so our family brought it back for Qin Gongzi!" After speaking, he handed the soft-shelled turtle to Qin Li's hand.
Qin Li couldn't help but thank him again. The old eunuch squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Qin Li for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Master Qin, can you take a step to speak?" ”
