At this moment, Sima Cheng, who was still in the imperial study, suddenly felt an itchy nose, made a fuss for a while, and sneezed. Want to - free - free - see - end - whole - version please Baidu search - product = book = net
Sima Cheng rubbed his nose, looked around the imperial study, and saw the two lists on the bookcase, which were the final grades of the students and the list of vacant officials this time.
She was in a hurry just now, and she didn't bring it with her, and according to her personality, she would definitely not be idle in the East Palace at night.
Thinking of this, Sima Cheng showed a vague smile on his face, then picked up the two important things and left the imperial study.
……
Before Sima Cheng reached the gate of the East Palace, he saw a figure walking towards him, walking in a hurry, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Gonggong Jiang who had come back with Yi Xue before.
There are not many people in the palace, and there are even fewer people who go out at night, Sima Cheng was about to stop Gonggong Jiang, and at this time, Gonggong Jiang also happened to see Sima Cheng who was strolling around and coming back slowly.
Father-in-law Jiang was still worried that Sima Cheng hadn't come back for so long, so he couldn't let Yi Xue put down his identity and go to him, so when he saw Sima Cheng, Father-in-law Jiang was overjoyed and said excitedly:
"Cheng Gongzi, you can count it back!"
Seeing that Gonggong Jiang was emotional, Sima Cheng's face suddenly became solemn, and he hurriedly asked:
"Did something happen?"
Father-in-law Jiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained:
"No, no, it's just...... The old slave is worried about the childe. Gonggong Jiang said as he greeted Sima Cheng in the palace, "Son, come in quickly." ”
Hearing that it was okay, Sima Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, however, Jiang Gonggong's sudden enthusiasm made him a little overwhelmed, and Sima Cheng then asked:
"Was Grandpa Jiang going out just now? It's so late......"
Before Sima Cheng finished speaking, Gonggong Jiang hurriedly patted his head and said regretfully:
"Oops! Look, I'm all confused, Your Majesty asked me to go to the imperial study to get something, and said it was two lists,......"
As soon as Gonggong Jiang finished speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave, Sima Cheng hurriedly stopped him, then took out the two pieces of paper from his clothes, and said calmly:
"It should be this, and ask Gonggong Jiang to hand it over to Your Majesty."
Sima Cheng stretched out his hand and was about to hand over the things to Gonggong Jiang, but Gonggong Jiang hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Since Gongzi got it, then ask Gongzi to hand it over to His Majesty himself, I won't invite this credit."
A trace of doubt flashed in Sima Cheng's eyes, Jiang Gonggong's refusal was a little unexpected, but since Jiang Gonggong insisted, Sima Cheng didn't intend to make it difficult for others, so he took the list and walked towards the study.
Yi Xue in the study, one hand flipped through the records made by Sima Yun in the two days, and the other hand held a pen, writing something from time to time, and when she heard the sound of someone coming in, she didn't raise her head and said:
"Father-in-law Jiang, you're too fast, although I'm a little anxious, but next time, don't be in such a hurry, I can't see clearly at night."
Yi Xue's voice was gentle, with concern in her tone, and at the same time slightly apologetic, if it weren't for the fact that she was in a hurry today, she wouldn't have to run this trip with Jiang Gonggong.
I didn't get a response from my father-in-law for a long time, and I didn't say anything, and after writing this sentence, I smiled and then raised my head.
The moment she saw Sima Cheng, her expression froze there, and she was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly withdrew her smile and changed to a "Sima Ji" posture.
Father-in-law Jiang is the one who knows her true identity, so in front of Father-in-law Jiang, Yi Xue took off the mask in the daytime, and the aura around her body was a lot lighter and brighter, and the eyebrows sometimes showed the cute look of a little woman.
It's just that I didn't expect that the person who didn't come in was Sima Cheng.
It was the first time Sima Cheng heard Yi Xue speak in such a light and soft tone, and there was a soft and tactful voice in his words, and for a moment, Sima Cheng even thought that there was a woman sitting inside!
"How are you?"
Yi Xue's voice was low, she put the pen aside, and her hand was also on the armrest, with a posture of wanting to interrogate Sima Cheng strictly.
Yi Xue thought that she had let go, but as soon as she saw Sima Cheng, she appeared in her mind again on the day she was in the imperial study today, plus she mistook Sima Cheng for Jiang Gonggong just now, although the words she said were harmless, but it was as if her secret had been snooped on by Sima Cheng, and her anger came back all of a sudden.
Seeing that Yi Xue had returned to her previous posture, Sima Cheng suddenly felt a little dazed, feeling that it should be mostly his own illusion just now, and chuckled lightly in his heart, feeling that that kind of thought was like a fantasy and boundless.
Sima Cheng stepped forward, bowed in front of Yi Xue, and presented the two lists with both hands.
"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates found these two lists when they left the imperial study, and thought that Your Majesty would use them tonight, so they took it upon themselves to bring them back, and asked Your Majesty for forgiveness."
Sima Cheng sensed Yi Xue's anger, so he simply knelt down and admitted his mistake before attacking.
Yi Xue took over the two lists, and it was indeed what she wanted.
Although Sima Cheng deceived her today, at this moment, she didn't want to delve into the truth and falsehood of Sima Cheng's words.
Although I don't know when Sima Cheng returned to the East Palace, if he goes to get it for Gonggong Jiang, there will be no reward, if he really brings it back, it makes Sima Cheng guess Yi Xue's thoughts, thinking of this, Yi Xue pursed her lips a little unhappily.
"Cheng Gongzi, why are you lying to me in the imperial study today?"
Sima Cheng doesn't do meaningless things, and about that matter, Yi Xue still wants to ask about it.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Sima Cheng asked.
"Is there more than one?" Xue Xue asked rhetorically.
Sima Cheng didn't respond for a while.
Yi Xue couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, in the past, she was dumbfounded by Sima Cheng's questions, but today she seems to have the upper hand.
"If Your Majesty is referring to the dinner incident, when I just came in, my subordinates asked Aunt Ning about tonight's meal, it seems that my subordinates have made a mistake, please forgive Your Majesty."
Sima Cheng leaned over and kowtowed, his tone was so calm, even if he said he was wrong, his voice was so calm that there was no emotion.
Misremember?!
Sima Cheng's unashamed sentence of "I misremembered" instantly made Yi Xue speechless, so calm, without any excuse, looking like she was being slaughtered by others.
Now, it's the snow that feels embarrassed.
Yi Xue didn't intend to be the first monarch in history to kill his courtiers because of "lamb meat", she also believed in Sima Cheng's own plans, but was it so difficult for him to confess on his own?
Yi Xue frowned slightly, and finally sighed, got up from her seat, walked to Sima Cheng, helped him up, walked to the food stool next to her, poured herself a cup of tea, and then took a sip.
Today's tea in the East Palace, Aunt Ning added honey, which can nourish the lungs and prevent "autumn dryness".
Li Xuan, the son of Li Zhi, the servant of Shangshu, Fan Zheng, the nephew of Du Yu, the secretary of the ministry, Zheng Lang, the son of Zheng Li, the son of Zheng Li, the king of Zuomin Shangshu, Wang Su of the Gubian clan, and Cui Lin and Lu Yizhi, who have entered the court as officials, and there are also two sons of the Jiangdong Shi clan Lu Tong and Lu Jin, as well as the southern clans of the Jiangdong Hao clan Gu clan and the Lujiang clan Zhou clan.
They are Jin Yuze, the son of the Xiongnu military general in the Zudi army, and An Yuezhi, the son of the An family, the leader of the Lite caravan who regularly visits Dayu and surrounding countries.
On the one hand, he felt guilty for his poor consideration, and secondly, someone was injured, as the emperor, but now there is only Si Kui, the imperial doctor, in the palace, and for his safety, Yi Xue does not plan to let him out of the palace.
In the choice of clothing, the focus is on practicality, choosing a round-necked robe that combines competitive sports, and tucking up the placket. It is conducive to vigorous sports such as horse riding and archery, which can fully liberate the limbs, expand the range of motion of the limbs, and cooperate with the flexibility of the limbs, which meets the needs of Keju sports.
