Chapter 287: Checks and Balances

"Thank you for your hard work, go and have a good rest and sleep first, and talk about other things after you wake up." Lu Qingyi said softly, Lu Qingyi is grateful to Feng Sheng, he doesn't have to work so hard for himself, but he has never said a word for so many years.

"Childe, you have to be careful in everything." Feng Sheng was still a little worried, when he was fighting with those killers, the killer took off his mask and smiled very weirdly, he opened his mouth as if to say, 'Lu Qingyi won't live long'.

That's what worries him a lot.

"I know, you can rest!" Lu Qingyi nodded slightly, and his voice was very soft.

After Feng Sheng left, Shen Xi sighed, "He is simply looking for guilt by following you, if I were him, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago."

In Huaibei, Feng Sheng almost didn't have a good rest for a day, he was busy working, and finally came back to the capital, but he was chased and killed on the way, and almost died, for Feng Sheng's loyalty, Shen Xi secretly admired it.

But thinking about it again, Lu Qingyi can have people like Feng Sheng and Fu Chuan who are willing to work for him, which just proves how he is a person.

No one wants to give his life to someone who doesn't take human life for his life.

After lunch, Shen Xi originally wanted to go to the bookstore to have a look, but she hadn't gone to the bookstore since she came back, but as soon as she was about to go out, Liu Congwen and Chang Yi came.

The emperor asked them to go into the palace for dinner together!

When Shen Xi heard the word "meal", she burped, she had just eaten enough, what kind of meal did she go to the palace to eat, she sneered: "Can I not go?" As she spoke, she pointed to the leftovers on the table that she hadn't had time to clean up, "Just eaten!" ”

"I can't help but go, this is the emperor's decree, no matter how full you eat, you must go." Liu Congwen's face was gloomy, the emperor asked him to eat, it was not so simple to eat, it must be because of Huaibei's affairs.

Hearing this, Shen Xi had to sigh often, and had to commit himself to Lu Qingyi and them.

When they arrived at the banquet, they were already full, and Shen Xi secretly looked at it, it seemed that the emperor had called all the ministers and relatives to accompany him for this meal.

When Helanzhi and Luo Lan saw Shen Xi, they both scoffed, and Shen Xi didn't bother to take care of them, so they sat down next to Lu Qingyi.

Chang Qing saw Liu Congwen, his eyes were full of red hearts, Shen Xi who was sitting next to her, he could feel the hot eyes, Shen Xi poked Chang Qing with his hand, "You should also pay attention, so many people, and they still throw flattering eyes at him, are you afraid that others will not know your relationship?" ”

Speaking of this, Chang Qing's face turned even redder, and his voice was coquettish, "I have nothing to do with him." ”

Shen Xi nodded slightly, "Well, I believe you have nothing to do with it." "It's strange that she believes it, it's so obvious, it's almost like it's sticking to the other party, it doesn't matter.

It's just that Chang Qing and Liu Congwen are different from her and Lu Qingyi after all, if the two of them don't officially confirm their relationship, it is better not to make it public, otherwise in the end, it will not only be unfavorable to Liu Congwen, but also affect Chang Qing's reputation, so Shen Xi hopes that Chang Qing can be a little more low-key.

After all, she has a special identity and is not an ordinary person. Love to read

"Calling everyone to dine together today, there is nothing big about it, but the recent things in Huaibei must be clear to everyone, so today I mainly want to commend Liu Congwen and Lu Qingyi." The emperor opened his mouth to speak, his voice was majestic, and he looked at Lu Qingyi and Liu Congwen as he spoke.

"Of course, there is also Shen Xi, who also has to be rewarded together, and she also contributed to this trip to Huaibei." The emperor looked at Shen Xi with a smile again, Shen Xi was shocked, the emperor didn't know whether he was praising her or blaming her, why did she always think that this was a hot potato?

As soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone began to talk again, but Helan and Luo Lan gritted their teeth at Shen Xi.

"Liu Congwen, Lu Qingyi, Shen Xi take the order!" In the midst of the voices of the people, the eunuch suddenly stood up, holding the holy decree in his hand, and his voice was sharp, so that everyone was quiet, and they all wanted to know what they had been rewarded.

"Because of this trip to Huaibei, the three of you have made great contributions, so I hereby reward Liu Congwen and Lu Qingyi, each with five hundred taels of silver, five horses of gold and silk cloth, one acre of land each, and Shen Xi rewards two silver and white taels, ten books, Qin this!" The eunuch read the emperor's decree unhurriedly.

It stands to reason that being rewarded is a happy thing, but the emperor's fanfare always makes Lu Qingyi feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, the people's daughters are deserved, and the people's daughters can't take this reward." Shen Xi kowtowed to the emperor as he spoke.

Although this reward, the unprecedented emperor rewarded her with two hundred taels of silver, but she felt that if she took this hot potato, she would only be jealous and red by more people, and she also knew what the emperor's purpose was this time, so she couldn't take it.

"This is the hard-earned money I gave you, so why excuse me." The emperor looked at Shen Xi with a gloomy face, and saw that he was already very unhappy, and no emperor could laugh when he was rejected in public.

Shen Xi wanted to say something, but was poked with their hands by Lu Qingyi and Liu Congwen, and then glared at her with a low voice, "Don't you want to live?" ”

As soon as Lu Qingyi said this, Shen Xi's face turned white, and she knelt down again, "The people's daughter thanks the emperor for his gift!" ”

They all know that the emperor is so fanfare, nothing more than that he wants someone to balance them, whether in the court or not, if they are too showy, they will be feared by the emperor.

Therefore, they have to receive this gift, and they have to receive it if they don't receive it.

If it were normal times, Shen Xi suddenly took two hundred taels of silver for nothing, she must have smiled, but this time it was different, she was sad all the time, and these two hundred taels of silver might put her life into it.

After the banquet, Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi were about to leave the palace, and met Chang Wen at the gate of the palace, they were both sitting in the carriage, and it was Chang Wen's carriage that blocked their way.

Lu Qingyi had to get out of the carriage, he smiled at Chang Wen, who was solemn, and said softly: "Second prince, but is there something?"

Chang Wen walked next to Lu Qingyi, his voice low and hoarse, "Lu Qingyi, don't think that the prince doesn't know about the little actions you did behind your back." ”

"Is the second prince's body uncomfortable? You look a little tired. Lu Qingyi smiled indifferently, and he didn't pay attention to Chang Wen's threat at all.

"Don't give this prince a sloppy look, you will pay the price sooner or later!" Chang Wen glared at Lu Qingyi viciously, he was really forced to be anxious this time, he was destroyed by Lu Qingyi in several places in a row, and he couldn't openly oppose him, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Second prince, are you doing less small actions behind my back? I'm just a tooth for a tooth, besides, you say, if the emperor knew that you were doing the same behind his back, would he think too much? Lu Qingyi raised his eyes slightly, approaching Chang Wen, and his words were all threats.
