At the same moment, Liu Jian silently looked at the officials gathered around the young man, and drank all the wine in the cup, but felt that the entrance was full of sour and astringent taste.

How could he not know that the ministers with the deepest smiles on their faces were all women in the family who were waiting to be married!

Now that there is no princess of the right age in the palace who is not married, and the Zhang family is the mother of the future crown princess, the possibility of Princess Shang being the county lord is extremely small - in this case, those officials must not rob like a dog with bones?

Although he was prepared in his heart, seeing this scene, Lord Liu's heart was full of bitterness.

Maybe he should have waited patiently back then, and if he waited until this time to mention family affairs, maybe the result would have been different......

Thinking like this, Lord Liu took another sip of wine.

At this moment, he noticed that someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.

"Why is Lord Liu drinking alone here?" Wang Hua smiled and sat down beside him.

There are many things that need not be explained, and he also has a plan in his eyes - friends, they need to comfort each other at critical moments.

At this time, a eunuch walked to Zhang Qiuchi's side.

"Your Majesty summoned Zhang Zhuangyuan to speak in front of the palace."

When Zhang Qiuchi heard this, he hurriedly saluted the ministers beside him: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow Wansheng to be with him for a while." ”

Before turning around, he slightly tidied up the sleeves of his robe and the crown of his hair, and then returned to the royal front to salute.

"Get up."

Emperor Zhaofeng had a smile on his face.

Not to mention that this is the little fairy's brother, just saying that the other party asked him to earn a lot of alchemy silver is enough to make him feel happy when he sees this young man.

Besides, who doesn't like to look good-looking young and young?

"National Teacher, this is the new branch champion of Lianzhong Sanyuan that I mentioned with you." Emperor Zhaofeng smiled and said to Jixiao: "You can take a look-"

Lianzhong Sanyuan, the auspicious rui of the country, is also a symbol of the prosperity of the country.

Zhang Qiuchi was stunned when he heard this.

…… Does the emperor mean that he wants the great master to look at his face for him?

The next moment, he sensed a gaze falling on him—

Ji Xiao took a step forward and looked at the young man in front of him who was slightly downcast, slightly restrained.

Zhang Qiuchi stood in place and let him watch and look, but there was an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart that he wanted to escape from this gaze.

He restrained himself and kept himself from showing a strange demeanor.

After looking at half a cup of tea like this, even when Emperor Zhaofeng was puzzled, Ji Xiaoshi spoke.

"Amitabha, this champion has an unusual noble face, and he must have been born different from ordinary people." The monk's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Oh?" Emperor Zhaofeng tasted these words, looked at Zhang Qiuchi again, and asked with Jixiao, "Precious abnormality?" I don't know how valuable it is? ”

Zhang Qiuchi's heart tensed slightly when he heard this.

He has always heard that His Majesty has an abnormal favor and trust in the great teacher, and the national teacher said casually, making people prosperous and rich in his mouth, and the ashes are also in his mouth.

"At a young age, I won three yuan in one fell swoop, and my future will inevitably be limitless." Ji Xiao did not answer Emperor Zhaofeng's question deeply, and he had a look of "heavenly machine cannot be revealed".

The color of Emperor Zhaofeng's eyes was dim, but he only smiled in the end.

"It's all up to Your Majesty's grace." At this time, Zhang Qiuchi gave a bow and looked respectful: "Students will do their best to serve the court in the future--to live up to Your Majesty's appreciation and today's words of love and promotion of the national teacher." ”

Jixiao's eyes moved slightly.

Emperor Zhaofeng said happily: "Well said - come and give wine." ”

Zhang Qiuchi hurriedly said: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

After a while, a eunuch on the side poured two glasses of wine and gave one cup to Zhang Qiuchi.

When the eunuch picked up another glass of wine and wanted to hold it in front of Emperor Zhaofeng, he vaguely noticed that a gaze was watching him.

The eunuch moved his gaze slightly, and without being guarded, he collided with an extremely deep eye, and when the four eyes met, he suddenly felt a violent trance in his heart.

"Smack-"

The jade cup he was holding in his hand slipped to the ground and shattered.

The wine splashed, wetting Emperor Zhaofeng's robes and soap boots.

The eunuch suddenly came back to his senses, knelt down with a "poof", and put his head on the top of the imperial steps, his voice was terrified: "...... Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

He didn't know why he suddenly lost his mind...... I always felt like I had seen something, but I couldn't remember it at all!

Liu Fu waved his hand slightly, and someone stepped forward to take the eunuch down immediately.

Emperor Zhaofeng has risen.

Liu Fu stepped forward at the right time, "The old slave is waiting for His Majesty to return to the palace to change his clothes——"

All the officials stood up and saluted.

Emperor Zhaofeng looked at everyone: "You Aiqing don't have to be distracted by me, you still have to go home with fun today." ”

Hearing this means that I will go back when I go back, and I don't plan to come here again.

All the officials should come down and send Emperor Zhaofeng away, and then they sat down one after another.

Zhang Qiuchi respectfully drank the wine in his hand.

The emperor gives wine, and there is no reason not to accept it in any case.

He put the cup back into the tray held by the eunuch, and the eunuch stepped aside.

Zhang Qiuchi saluted Ji Xiao, who was still standing in place, and wanted to turn around.

At this time, he heard Jixiao say slowly: "Zhang Dagongzi is really a genius, very comparable. ”

Zhang Qiuchi was slightly surprised by his initiative to speak at this time, so he raised his eyes to look at him, smiled, and said, "The national teacher really praised it." ”

"Whether it is a false praise, and whether Zhang Dagongzi was born different from others, he must have his own discernment in his heart." Ji Xiao's voice was not high, but every word clearly came into Zhang Qiuchi's ears.

Zhang Qiuchi's heart shook slightly.

Born different from others -

Almost without the slightest confusion, he thought of the 'strange disease' in his body.

But only he and his second sister knew about this matter, and it only happened once many years ago, how could the people in front of him know?

Wrong......

It's more like a temptation......

Test his reaction?

The young man's heart was beating wildly, and his mind was full of confusion, and his eyes suddenly met the pair of black pupils like a deep well.

For a moment, he only felt as if his mind was tightly captured by a pair of invisible hands.

"It is rumored that the eldest son of Zhang Dagongzi was born as the eldest son, which is a bit rare compared to the official eunuchs in Beijing." The monk's voice seemed to be ethereal and distant, as if it had entered his mind: "Under such circumstances, I wonder if Zhang Dagongzi has ever doubted his life experience?"

Zhang Qiuchi took two steps back.

He tried his best to suppress the strange feelings and inexplicable but deep fear in his heart.

A pair of handsome eyebrows furrowed rarely, but his tone was still calm and sober: "The late life respects you as the national teacher of the Dajing Dynasty, and I have no intention of offending suspicion - but the national teacher's words are really contrary to secular etiquette, and I ask for forgiveness for the late life for not being able to answer." ”

A faint smile appeared in Ji Xiao's eyes.

Very good, worthy of the destiny of the people.
