Chapter 22: The Thief
Father-in-law Shunzi looked at Qianqiu in disbelief: "Your Majesty... It's Miss Xie and Miss Xia. β
"Well, didn't you just say that?" Qianqiu said: "Just let them in." β
Father-in-law Shunzi responded, turned around and muttered as he walked out, didn't the emperor hate seeing these women the most? Why is it that you are suddenly interested in letting them in today?
The two young ladies who heard the news outside were also surprised and delighted, after so many times, the emperor allowed them to enter the Taiji Hall for the first time!
What does this mean? Could it be that after the emperor opened meat last night, he finally knew how good a woman was, so he planned to recruit the harem?
Xie Yuling hurriedly sorted out her clothes and headdresses, and at the same time regretted a little that she had brought Xia Luoyue here, if she had come alone, would she have been alone today?
Xia Luoyue also glanced at Xie Yuling, and her inner activities should be about the same.
"The courtiers meet the emperor."
The two of them walked into the Tai Chi Hall and bowed lightly in front of Qianqiu, their skirts fluttering and their heads hanging down. Chiaki took the time to look up and looked, hey, empty-handed? Is there such a way to see a patient?
Angrily taking a bite of the snack, Chiaki didn't want to get them up.
I didn't hear the word flat for a long time, and the two eldest ladies knelt so hard that their knees hurt, but they couldn't make a sound, so they could only bite their lips and guess what the emperor was thinking. Why did you let them in and not let them get out?
"Aunt Chiaki." The gentleman at the door looked at the situation fairly, and there was a person standing next to him, so frightened that he shouted.
Han Ziji was dressed as a female official, and saluted to Shunzi apologetically: "I scared my father-in-law." β
"Where, where." Junzi hurriedly bowed: "It's our family that is blocking my aunt, aunt please." β
How can Junzi's father-in-law say that he is also the head of Ouchi, the person who serves the emperor closely, when has he ever been so attentive to people? Han Ziji felt strange, with the same official rank, Shunzi's father-in-law was more qualified, why did he treat her so respectfully.
Of course, he didn't know what had happened inside and outside the palace after last night, and now he was still busy teaching Qianqiu etiquette, and in order to meet the minister, he had to say some ways to deal with things appropriately, so he didn't think much about it.
When he entered the inner hall, he saw two people kneeling on the ground, Han Ziji frowned, looking at this back, how could they be women from official families, how could they kneel here?
"Your Majesty."
"You're here!" Qianqiu put down his snack and hurriedly walked over to help Han Ziji, who was about to kneel, to help him up: "You don't have to see me in the future, just kneel and worship, if you don't feel sorry, I'm still distressed!" β
Han Ziji shook his head, brushed away Qianqiu's hand and said, "Your Majesty, the ceremony cannot be abolished, Qianqiu is just a female official, and she can't be so special." β
Qianqiu's face collapsed, and she looked at the knees of her body distressedly, and when she changed back, would she have knelt out of calluses?
Xie Yuling and Xia Luoyue knelt on the ground, listening to the emperor's words, angry and angry in their hearts. They are still kneeling here, the emperor ignored it, but went to help a female official with his own hands, and said that there was no need to salute in the future, didn't this clearly slap them in the face, so that they could see clearly the status of this female official in the emperor's heart?
No wonder they were allowed to enter the Taiji Hall today, it turned out that they wanted to lend them to give this Qianqiu aunt a prestige?
The two of them were so embarrassed that their nails were about to be broken. As soon as Han Ziji lowered his head, he saw the hideous side faces of the two of them, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Why did the emperor let the two young ladies kneel here?" β
"Huh? Forgot. Chiaki scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly: "You guys get up." β
ββ¦ Emperor Xie. Xie Yuling stood up slowly, his legs were already weak, and he fell down again before he got up halfway.
"Be careful." Qianqiu stretched out his hand and hugged her, a little guilty that he had made the family kneel for too long: "It's okay, right?" β
A cool and cool masculine aura surrounded her, Xie Yuling was dumbfounded, and looked up at Qianqiu blankly. She never thought that the emperor would reach out to help her, such an arrogant and unapproachable emperor actually reached out to help her!
Xie Yuling was excited, with tears in his eyes, and shouted emotionally: "Your Majestyβ"
"Stand firm, there's another one on the ground." Qianqiu was so cold by her shouting that she hurriedly let go of Xia Luoyue who was on the ground to help her: "You get up too." β
Xia Luoyue stretched out her hand and grabbed Qianqiu's sleeve, and fell into Qianqiu's arms by virtue of her weak legs: "Courtiers, thank you emperor..."
The fat powder on his face was rubbed on Qianqiu's chest, and Han Ziji watched from the side, his face was slightly gloomy: "Your Majesty." β
"Huh? I didn't mean to. Qianqiu hurriedly pushed Xia Luoyue away and obediently stood behind Han Ziji.
She has a very good work ethic, and if her body is someone else's, she won't use it indiscriminately. Han Ziji doesn't like women and has a serious cleanliness habit, so she will respect the habits of this body.
Just now, it was just out of the spur of the moment.
Han Ziji paused and said calmly: "Didn't the emperor say that he was going to the study to watch the folds?" This morning's excerpt Taifu has already sent you to the study of the Taiji Palace. β
"Okay, let's go see." Chiaki nodded, turned around and walked out.
The two young ladies had not yet come to their senses, and stood motionless in the hall. After a while, Shunzi's father-in-law came to remind them that it was time to leave the palace, and the two came back to their senses and went out of the palace to take a car.
There is an amazing and powerful character in the palace, who can make the emperor speak softly to her, give in every way, and influence the emperor's decision, so that the emperor feels sorry for her.
When the news spread, all the ladies sensed the crisis and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Han Ziji felt some pressure, looked at Ji Qianqiu walking in front of him, and sighed helplessly. The two had such an accident, and they could only be inseparable. A woman who is inseparable from the emperor will definitely not end well.
He needs to be careful.
In the imperial study, the fold of the early dynasty had indeed been delivered, but the person who sent it was not Zhang Shu Zhang Taifu, but Pei Yutian, the nephew of the imperial historian Pei Shuze.
Qianqiu was stunned as soon as he entered the door of the study, and the person standing in the study bent down slightly: "The minister greets the emperor." β
Pei Yutian is a military attachΓ©, different from the weak scholars, the masculinity on his body is very strong, a golden knife is held in his hand, and the military attache is cut and carved with iron, which is very in line with the aesthetics of Qianqiu.
Qianqiu swallowed her saliva, gently poked Han Ziji's waist with her elbow, and whispered, "Who is this person?" β
"Pei Yutian, with a knife in front of the emperor, is closer to me." Han Ziji glanced at Qianqiu's eyes and said impatiently: "Can you not look at a man's eyes and shine casually?" β
"Why!" Qianqiu pursed his lips, followed him to Pei Yutian's side, coughed lightly, and pretended to smile familiarly:
"Why are you here today?"
"Back to the emperor, the Taifu and his father were drunk last night, which caused them to fail to go to court early today, so the excerpt was brought by the minister." Pei Yutian said a little embarrassedly: "Please also ask the emperor to forgive your sins." β
"It's okay, it's good to indulge once in a while." Qianqiu walked to the desk and sat down, and Han Ziji followed and stood beside her.
"This... Is it Aunt Chiaki? Pei Yutian looked at Han Ziji with inquiry in his eyes.
"Yes, the martial arts are very good, and the people are also enthusiastic." Before Han Ziji could speak, Qianqiu rushed to answer.
Secretly burst into a foul mouth, Han Ziji saluted Pei Yutian: "Master Pei is well." β
"Auntie is very polite." Pei Yutian returned the salute, and by the way, he looked Han Ziji up and down.
Han Ziji was furious by him and frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, there have been bandits on the outskirts of Luoyang recently, and everyone in Luoyang is in danger, so the military department will play the emperor to see if it should be exterminated." Pei Yutian quickly withdrew his gaze and began to get down to business.
"Bandits?" Qianqiu shuddered: "The imperial court is going to exterminate the bandits?" β
"In the past, bandits were not rampant, so the imperial court did not waste troops, but now it has caused trouble to the people of Luoyang, and it is necessary for the imperial court to consider one or two." Pei Yutian said: "It's just a thief and a cunning rabbit, I really don't know what to do." Pressing the mountain with heavy troops is also too trivial. β
"Where to use heavy troops." Qianqiu said humbly: "You send someone to lurk in the cottage, find out where their village is, and then end it up." β
Han Ziji's eyes glanced at him leisurely.
Qianqiu silently thought in his heart that I am now the emperor a hundred times, and still couldn't help but say: "In fact, there is no shortage of good people among the bandits, and not everyone is willing to be a bandit, why don't you issue a security order first?" If they are willing to be recruited, then give them some errands, but if they are not... It's never too late to eradicate it. β
Pei Yutian was stunned, and said with some surprise: "The emperor is merciful." β
"To be a benevolent monarch, you still have to treat everyone in the world as your own people." Qianqiu secretly glanced at Han Ziji and added, "It's the same with bandits. β
Han Ziji chuckled, is this girl changing the law to give him advice? I'm a bandit, but it's also interesting to sit here and discuss how to exterminate the bandits.
However, if there is still a chance to change his body, he may as well consider recruiting the bandits over there in the state.
Pei Yutian nodded approvingly and said: "The minister was originally worried that the emperor would really have to press the mountain with heavy troops, but he didn't expect that the emperor would figure it out a lot when he went out. β
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Qianqiu and said, "It is rumored that Aunt Qianqiu has changed the emperor, and what she said is true." β
The corners of Han Ziji's mouth twitched, and he smiled perfunctorily. Can this girl change him? Forget it, when he comes back, what should he look like or what he should look like.
Pei Yutian left, and Qianqiu continued to change the fold with Han Ziji. The palace people all retreated, and Han Ziji simply took pen and ink to write Zhu Pi, anyway, his handwriting was still there.
Qianqiu was happy to be idle, touching east and west in the imperial study, grabbing a vase and asking curiously: "This thing is very expensive, right?" β
Han Ziji didn't raise his head and said, "You like to send you, anyway, it's yours now." β
Qianqiu's eyes seemed to ignite fireworks in an instant, and the gold ingots in the sky exploded with a bang.
Han Ziji didn't care, anyway, she couldn't take the things in the palace with her, whose should it be or whose it was. It's just that he didn't expect that after the correction was completed, he looked up.
The flower shelves that used to be full of antiques in front of me are empty!
