Chapter 274: Something to Hide
In the Hall of Nourishing Hearts, the bead curtains are jade and green, and the summer breeze blows to bring the sultry atmosphere of late summer, but it is quickly dispelled by the coolness overflowing from the ice basins placed in the four corners of the hall.
At this moment, Qi Yunshu was sweating, she couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat, and her heart was "plopping" and jumping.
She was not ready to face the emperor's questioning, and just when she didn't know what to do, Zhao Jing suddenly gently squeezed her palm, which was a signal for her not to be nervous.
Then Zhao Jing's voice sounded: "If you go back to the emperor, this matter is ...... to the minister."
"I'm asking about Zhao Qi's clan, not you!" Emperor Zhaoyuan is mighty and prosperous.
Zhao Jing didn't seem to be afraid, and said respectfully: "Weichen and Neiren are husband and wife, the so-called husband is wife, wife is husband, and they should not distinguish each other!" ”
"One of them is so indistinguishable from each other!" The long and familiar words floated into his ears, and Emperor Zhaoping was suddenly silent, there was once a person who told him this, but that person is no longer there!
Qi Yunshu was afraid that Zhao Jing's words would anger Emperor Zhaoping, so he quietly stopped him in a hurry:
"The emperor is wise, the courtiers went to the north not to mess around, thinking that there are many wars in the north of Xinjiang, there are too many injuries and diseases, and the courtiers happened to learn some medical skills when they were in their mother's house, as a doctor, they have the obligation to treat the sick and save people, save the life and help the wounded, I heard that the minister went to help, out of the doctor's instinct to help! And women dressing up as men are also in a hurry, so as not to cause misunderstanding by others! ”
What Qi Yunshu said is the truth, and there is nothing to blame.
Emperor Zhaoping's calm face slowly soothed: "You are a good eloquent, sharp teeth!" "She is worthy of being the wife of the champion!
Well, Qi Yunshu couldn't tell whether Emperor Zhaoping was praising or ridiculing for a while?
However, she quietly glanced at Emperor Zhaoping a few times with the corner of her eye, and found that he did not have an angry face on his face, but with a light of mercy, and knew in her heart that the emperor was not actually to punish her, but just wanted to test her, and he couldn't tell what he wanted to try, but he wouldn't kill her head after all!
"I heard that Qi Guogong and Yun Dynasty have talked about your deeds on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and when they deliberately exaggerated, now that I see you, I believe it, it is rare that you are a woman, but you are benevolent and wonderful, and you are good for the soldiers of our court!"
After a wave of powerful dragon power, Emperor Zhaoping became much gentler, and really praised Qi Yunshu.
Qi Yunshu was in a good mood to be praised, but deep in her heart she was still tightly tensed, there is a way to accompany the king like a tiger, she doesn't dare to relax, in case he throws another bombshell over, she is inexperienced, she will definitely be overwhelmed!
Fortunately, Emperor Zhaoping's main purpose today is not him, but Zhao Jing.
He roughly told Zhao Jing about his achievements, and finally really threw out a bombshell news, saying that he had prepared a will to promote him.
"Five-grade member Wailang!"
After the words fell for a long time, Qi Yunshu understood the meaning of what he said when he met Qi Guogong outside just now, and Qi Guogong already knew it!
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Zhao Jing reacted quickly, pulling Qi Yunshu to thank him.
"Don't be shocked by the humiliation, don't say anything, Zhao Qing is good!" Emperor Zhaoping threw down this sentence, and said that the people he wanted to see had seen them, and they had done what they wanted to do, so let them leave the palace!
So straightforward? Qi Yunshu was originally worried and apprehensive in her heart, but seeing that this trip was going smoothly except for a short time that had embarrassed her for a while, she couldn't help but be a little bolder, and quietly looked up at the moment she turned around.
Emperor Zhaoping was dressed in a dark embroidered golden dragon dress, dressed luxuriously, with a tall figure and a handsome face, he was a real middle-aged beautiful man!
It turns out that the emperor is so handsome, and he really has many beauties in the palace and good genes, but I don't know if it is Qi Yunshu's illusion, she looks at him between his eyebrows and eyes and seems to be a little familiar.
But just at a glance, she really couldn't see anything, and when Qi Yunshu was unwilling to look at it again, she was pulled by Zhao Jing, and she quickly lowered her head.
Long Yan can't look at it directly, this is the sentence that Mama Liu mentioned the most when she learned the rules yesterday.
She almost made this mistake just now, after exiting the Heart Cultivation Hall with Zhao Jing, she patted her chest and kept inhaling, glad that Emperor Zhaoping didn't see her little movements just now!
But when she left the palace and returned to the carriage, Zhao Jing suddenly held her hand: "The lady is really bold!" At first, he was worried that she wouldn't be able to let go of the palace and be restrained, but he didn't expect her to deal with it completely!
Qi Yunshu raised her eyebrows: "I'm not very bold, I'm afraid of pain, I'm afraid of itching, and I'm afraid of death!" ”
Zhao Jing scratched her nose and said that if she was not bold, how could she dare to look directly at Tianyan, and she was not afraid of committing a crime.
Qi Yunshu was stunned and understood, it turned out that Emperor Zhaoping already knew that she had just peeked at him: "The emperor is kinder than I imagined!" In her heart, she thought that the emperor was the Ninety-Five, above ten million people, holding the power of life and death for everyone, that must be a person with a high nose and eyes, no one in his eyes, and a short temper.
But when Emperor Zhaoping spoke to them, except for the deliberate threat at the beginning, she didn't feel that he was out of the world's imperial aura at all, but like an ordinary handsome uncle with flesh and blood who would make trouble......
"That's because it's not in the Qianyuan Palace, but in the Heart Cultivation Palace!" Zhao Jingyi pointed out.
The emperor is the emperor, and the real him is not what they just saw!
As for why Emperor Zhaoping treated them so kindly, even Zhao Jing himself didn't know the reason for this!
Your heart is like an abyss, unfathomable!
After the two returned to the mansion, Zhao Jing's will to be promoted to a member of the Ministry of Rites arrived immediately.
With the edict of Qi Yunshu coming down together, she was named Wupin Pleasant, which means that she will no longer have to be called a lady when she goes out in the future, and she is also a lady!
"Big Young Master...... If Madame knew that you were so competitive, she would be able to look at you! Mama Liu's eyes were full of tears, and she clasped her hands together and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in the northeast direction!
Qi Yunshu smiled, Zhao Jing's promotion is a good thing!
Since he participated in the imperial examination, won the champion, and became an official in the court, he naturally wants to be promoted, which is better than Zhao Hongyi being mixed in the officialdom for most of his life and still being like that bird!
Qi Yunshu couldn't help but think that with Zhao Jing's ability, he didn't know how big an official he could be in the end?
When he was thinking about it, Zhao Yu suddenly came over outside the door, and said with a gloomy face: "Zhao Jing, I have something to look for you!" ”
Zhao Jing's face sank and subconsciously looked at Qi Yunshu's face, but he was relieved to see that she didn't go to his heart, and tried his best to calm his mind: "Lady, I'll go to the study!" ”
Qi Yunshu nodded, she didn't think much about it!
Although Zhao Yu has been following Zhao Jing these days, in fact, the real relationship between the two of them is not superior, and Zhao Yu's temperament is extremely uncontrollable, and it is understandable that he is talking to Zhao Jing like this now.
She nodded lightly and said that there was a happy event today, so she would go to the kitchen to prepare some delicious food. When she turned to leave, Zhao Jing watched her back disappear for a long time before he turned back to look at Zhao Yu and said in a deep voice: "What's so urgent?" ”
Zhao Yu didn't speak, and took the lead in walking to the study, and Zhao Jing followed closely.
And here, Qi Yunshu took Qingzhi to the kitchen, worked for a while, made two pastries, and thought about serving them while they were hot.
Walking to the verandah outside the study, Qi Yunshu suddenly heard a dull sound of slapping the table from inside.
It's hard to describe this kind of slapping the table, it sounds like he's angry and slapping the table, but that person is an extremely forbearant character.
is no matter how angry and angry he is, he doesn't want to vent this anger wantonly, but chooses to forbear.
"Don't you dare, it's a good thing that you've been promoted, it's one step closer to your purpose, but you're still a coward, you don't dare to confess to her, you don't dare to tell her what you already knew! What are you afraid of? Zhao Yu was questioning Zhao Jing.
Qi Yunshu's heart jumped, what happened to their brothers? Who is she or he referring to in those words?
By the time she reacted and wanted to listen carefully, the people inside had already sensed her arrival and stopped arguing in time.
The room where they stopped made Qi Yunshu feel inexplicably, as if the focus of the issue that the two of them were arguing about just now was actually her!
I can't tell why, but she felt this way in an instant.
But now it's useless to guess, the two of them didn't speak again, the study was so quiet that it was terrifying, and through a door, Qi Yunshu even heard a more leaky sound in the corner.
Realizing that they would not talk anymore, let alone discuss the issue just now, Qi Yunshu raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door, but saw the door open from the inside, and Zhao Yu's poker face appeared in front of him.
Qi Yunshu had a sense of weakness in eavesdropping and being discovered, and raised the white porcelain plate in his hand and said unnaturally: "I made you some pastries, newly baked chestnut cakes, I know that you don't like sweet, and you put less sugar!" ”
When Zhao Jing saw her, he immediately got up to meet her and took it with both hands: "Lady hard work!" ”
Putting it on the bookcase, Zhao Jing reached out and was about to taste it, but Qi Yunshu slapped his hand away: "I remember that you don't seem to have washed your hands yet!" ”
"Uh......" Zhao Jing touched the tip of his nose, and immediately obediently walked to the side of the study to find a basin shelf, there was still water poured before, so he washed it, and wiped his hands dry under Qi Yunshu's strong gaze, and finally tasted the pastry.
"Hmm, it's delicious!" Zhao Jing praised loudly.
No matter what kind of person she is, as long as she is praised for her good cooking skills, she will be happy, Qi Yunshu is no exception, she looked at Zhao Jing with a smile, and said that if you like to eat, eat more, there is still in the pot!
Zhao Jing became happy, and said to Zhao Yu, who was standing by the door with his hands around his elbows: "You can eat some too, this is my lady's craft, and I can't eat it easily!" ”
Zhao Yu put away his black poker face, washed his hands according to Zhao Jing's steps, grabbed two pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, the chestnuts were fragrant and soft and glutinous, and they melted in the mouth.
Qi Yunshu saw that they were eating with relish, and suddenly said, "Eating sweets helps digest unhappy things, what were you talking about just now?" ”
"We're talking about Qi ......" Zhao Yu choked on the chestnut cake in his mouth, it was inconvenient to speak, and he was answered by Zhao Jing as soon as he started: "We are talking about going to the Qi Mansion as a guest in a few days!" ”
"Really?" Qi Yunshu frowned, she looked at Zhao Yu, he was more honest and wouldn't lie, his gaze was dodging at this time, which proved that Zhao Jing didn't tell the truth!
