Because Su Qin and Ning Jun were grateful to Lu Li, they had to invite Lu Li to the dinner that night, Lu Li first refused, but he couldn't bear Su Qin and Ning Jun's repeated begging, so they agreed.

There are also high-end banquet halls in the thistle capital, and the customs are no different from those of the Central Plains, all of them must have music and dance at every banquet, and most of the Kabuki come from the neighboring Zhao Kingdom. The people of Yandi are even more unrestrained, and they must drink thoroughly and take a break, and draw their swords and dance when they are happy.

Su Qin and Ning Jun invited Lu Li to the most prestigious "Tianxiang Garden" in Jidu to drink, and Lu Li treated his friends with the bold style of Yandi, and drunk Su and Ning to a great degree.

They talked about everything during the banquet, and the next day, Su Qin thought about the words of the night before, and what he remembered was only a fragment.

He vaguely remembered an interesting story, which was about Yanhou Jisheng's father, the former monarch of Yanwen Gong, who was so old that he couldn't move, and he married a princess of Qin as a concubine, but he overindulged in lust and died in less than half a year.

Lu Li said with a smile at the time: "Isn't this the same as drawing a sword and committing suicide, old and indulgent, without restraint, the ending is so tragic!" ”

After Su Qin woke up, he recalled Lu Li's expression and that story at that time, and couldn't help but smile a few more times.

He rubbed his temples, relieved his tight scalp, and went to find Ning Jun. After the two of them packed up, they went to the place of the minister of state and went through the corresponding formalities there according to the instructions of the eunuch on duty yesterday.

After that, the two of them became officials in Yan Kingdom.

Su Qin and Ning Jun have the same rank, but the division of labor is different, on the one hand, Su Qin has to arrange the vigilance of the palace, on the other hand, he has to sort out the daily vigilance records, and report to the Zhongshu Order in the palace, and the Zhongshu Order submits a report to Yanhou according to the priority of the record.

Ning Jun's duties are in the field, he specifically decomposes the task to people, and personally leads patrols every day.

After Wu Jing's injury recovered, Su Qin was worried that he would panic and cause trouble, so he arranged him among the guards and followed everyone to patrol the palace. The three of them passed peacefully for more than two months.

Su Qin can sometimes see Yan Hou in the palace, Yan Hou still has some impression of him, and asked him a few times with a smile, Su Qin wants to continue to put forward his own ideas, how can Yan Hou have time to listen, therefore, Su Qin has never been given a chance to open his mouth.

He also paid attention to the widow of Yan Wengong in the palace, who is the current Empress Dowager of Yan Guo, but unfortunately he only saw her in his own luan.

Because Lu Li told an interesting story, Su Qin also wanted to observe more, but every time he saw the chariot driver, the chariot was tightly wrapped, and he couldn't see the queen mother's true face at all.

Su Qin sometimes thinks: "That queen mother is actually pitiful enough, married to an old man, and was widowed at a young age, I don't know how lonely and helpless it will be." ”

One day, Su Qin walked through the garden of the harem, went to the office of the Zhongshu Order to present the traffic police ring record, and bumped into the queen mother's chariot head-on.

He never dared to raise his head head-on, for fear of violating the rules of the palace, and if the queen mother punished him, he would not only lose his official position, but also be imprisoned.

After the queen mother's chariot passed, Su Qin stood up and was about to continue walking, he found that the chariot also stopped not far away, Su Qin glanced at the chariot and found that the empress dowager did not come out, but just stopped there.

Su Qin didn't think much about it, so he went to see Zhongshu Ling Tang Qi.

Tang Qi is a eunuch who entered the palace from the palace, he is very appreciated by the Marquis of Yan, he shows off his power in the palace all day long, and he is always very polite to Su Qin and other officials and miscellaneous staff who serve in the palace.

For the sake of his own conspiracy, Su Qin swallowed his anger and accepted it, and slowly got used to it. As soon as he submitted the paperwork, he could run away as fast as he could, and never stayed too much for even a moment, so as not to avoid Tang Qi's shouting.

About three days later, one morning, Su Qin was sorting out chores in his office room in the northeast corner of the palace, when suddenly a little eunuch came to him and told Su Qin: "The Chinese book ordered Mr. Tang Qi to let you go over quickly, there is something important to arrange." ”

Su Qin put down the work in his hand and followed the little eunuch and hurried towards Tang Qi.

When he got there, Tang Qi was sitting in his seat to recuperate, he looked at Su Qin casually, and said, "Su Qin, in addition to the records you submit to the traffic police every day, you also have to personally patrol and guard." ”

Su Qin smiled and replied: "According to the regulations, sometimes because there are many affairs to be exchanged, the patrol mission is delayed, but fortunately, the subordinates will understand, and they will make up for it." ”

Tang Qi let out an "oh" and said, "Recently, the palace has been very unpeaceful, and there have been rumors of losing things in the East Palace and West Palace. The Queen Mother's bedroom lost a pair of golden hairpins last night, and I don't know who did it. ”

He said in a tone of order: "It seems that we need to strengthen our vigilance. I think you'd better go on patrol yourself to avoid something like that again. ”

Su Qin replied respectfully: "We must strengthen our vigilance to avoid further thefts, please rest assured that Tang Zhongshu will not be surprised." He said, seeing that Tang Qi didn't answer for a while, he hurriedly said goodbye and went out, for fear that Tang Qi would continue to talk about things.

Su Qin returned to the office, thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to call Ning Jun, who briefly explained Tang Qi's instructions to Ning Jun.

When Ning Jun heard this, he said: "This kind of trivial matter of losing something, when will it not happen in the palace?" They are all thieves, maybe which concubine or palace maid saw that other people's jewelry was good, so they took it easily. We, the guards, are all in charge of the field, how can we follow the concubines and palace maids every day. ”

"Besides, we can't just follow us, isn't that looking for death?"

Su Qin listened to it, and also felt that what Ning Jun said was very reasonable, it was originally the same thing, the guards ran with the palace maid, not to mention making some personal affairs, even if there was no personal relationship, they also violated the laws of the palace, and they were not going to behead the public.

Su Qin thought again: "Since Tang Qi has explained the vigilance of strengthening the Queen Mother's dormitory, the guards can't ignore it. So, Su Qin discussed with Ning Jun how to arrange the vigilance of the Empress Dowager's Palace.

Ning Jun said: "Then I will send two more guards to the perimeter of the Empress Dowager Palace tonight, so that they can keep an eye on the dots, at least to prevent outsiders from stealing chickens and dogs in the Empress Dowager Palace." ”

Su Qin nodded, thinking that this matter would be over, so he began to be busy with other chores again.

The next morning, just after breakfast, the little eunuch hurriedly came to Su Qin and asked him to drop everything and go to Zhongshu Ling Tang Qi as soon as possible.
