Chapter Thirty-Eight: Girlfriends

Bai Weiwei and Hui'er finished dinner and washed their feet in a wooden basin, the four little feet were white and tender, tossing back and forth, like four fruits, making people seem to want to take a bite.

Xiao'e and Ziye were secretly laughing on the side, they didn't expect to see such a harmonious scene in this palace.

After washing their feet, the two happily got into a quilt, just like two sisters who have slept together since childhood.

Bai Weiwei likes this feeling the most, sleeping with good friends, and whispering.

The two were head to head, facing each other, Bai Weiwei showed her dimples, and Hui'er couldn't hide her happiness.

"Hui'er, let's talk something quiet!" Bai Weiwei spoke softly, for fear that others would hear it.

"What did you say?" Hui'er also quietly replied to her, stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt for her, looking so loving.

"Whatever, like what happened when you were a child, what you do now."

When Hui'er heard this, she suddenly turned around and faced up, exhaled, and said in a deep voice, "Princess, do you have anyone you like?" ”

Bai Weiwei didn't expect her to ask this kind of question immediately, "No." But there were boys who were interested in it before. Do you have one? ”

"Yes." Hui'er turned her head again, "But the princess can't tell the prince, otherwise, the prince will blame Hui'er." ”

"Why?" Bai Weiwei still didn't understand what was going on in the palace.

"It's nothing, anyway, there will be no possibility of being together, although Hui'er has him in her heart, but, in this situation, I'm afraid there is no future." Hui'er was a little sad.

"So, is the person you like handsome?"

"Handsome! At least let countless girls secretly promise. ”

"Really?"

"Uh-huh," Hui'er nodded, "Is the person the princess likes also good-looking?" ”

"It's okay!" Bai Weiwei slowly thought about the appearance of the male classmate, but suddenly remembered a question, "Hui'er, you say, does the person wearing the mask must be good-looking?" ”

"Why does the princess ask?" Hui'er was puzzled and confronted Bai Weiwei.

"Nothing, just curiosity." She muttered, and really, she remembered her master.

"Not necessarily, maybe it's to cover up the ugliness." Hui'er was thoughtful.

Bai Weiwei didn't speak again, and quietly remembered his master again, the poor child, who didn't even see the true face of his master.

In this way, the two were close to each other and slowly fell asleep.

"S......queak" A dull sound of the wooden door opening resounded through the dark treasury, and in the open gap of the huge mahogany door stood a young man dressed in court clothes and a crown on his head, and with the opening of the wooden door, several ministers slowly appeared around the young man. A few more people entered with a lamp, illuminating the huge warehouse, the young man and his party walked into the warehouse, in the dim light, gradually saw the handsome and upright appearance of the young man, it turned out that the prince of Changjue led the four elders, on the right for Su Zhongjun, Hua Ran, on the left for Liu Mu, Lin Gu and several other imperial uncles and princes.

Since the death of the first assistant Liuni in the sixth year of the emperor, the post of the first assistant has been vacant, the four elders of the dynasty are ready to move, and now the emperor has died, he has not yet conquered in person, even the emperor's uncle Anshun prince also wants to fight for his own throne, and the ministers are each seeking to form a private party, these long princes are in their eyes, but they have no choice but to hurry up and pro-government, and Liu Ni, who advocates pro-government, has died, and now the prince of Changjue can only wait for the opportunity to eradicate dissidents and ascend the throne to implement pro-government.

The group came to more than a dozen wooden boxes, more than a dozen guards opened the wooden boxes with brushes, Zhao Jilian checked it quickly, and came to the side of Prince Changjue, "Prince, five boxes of weapons, six boxes of tobacco, eight boxes of private salt, a box is a lot." ”

Prince Changjue squinted slightly, these ministers are calculating every day, well, there happens to be such a headache, it is better to let them move their calculating heads, "Tobacco, salt, and arms smuggling incidents have occurred frequently recently, do you Aiqing have a good countermeasure?" ”

Several ministers immediately understood the intention of the prince to bring him to the treasury, and they all bowed their heads in contemplation.

"The prince, Weichen believes that there is no more problem of food and clothing than private people in the people, and there is nothing more important than the problem of profit-making among officials and private people, and the imperial court should consolidate the people's livelihood and ensure the livelihood of the people." Liu Mu gave his hand to admonish.

"According to what you say, won't the palace still want to increase the amount of money for you ministers and officials?" Prince Changjue's voice was cold, and he turned his back to those ministers, extremely dissatisfied.

"The prince is angry!" Hua Ran hurriedly persuaded, "As for private officials, the imperial court can formulate corresponding legal provisions, divide different punishment methods according to the amount of smuggled finances, and try to be as strict as possible." ”

Prince Changjue turned around, feeling that what he said made sense, "Then how to formulate it?" “

"According to Weichen, the imperial court must strictly prohibit the buying and selling of illicit salt, and those who sell illicit salt will be allocated 2,000 li to fill the army, and those who buy illicit salt will have a hundred rods. However, according to Wei Chen, the poor and poor people along the coast should not be included in the list of punishments if they carry a small amount of private salt on their backs in exchange for grain to make a living. ”

Hua Ran told the story that he was also a talented minister, but because Warsaw's uncle had a dislike with Emperor Bo, although he was not reused by Emperor Bo, but now that Prince Changjue is in power, his career has been smoother, not to mention becoming the first assistant, and it is much easier to keep his position as prime minister.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Aiqing." The prince of Changjue completely ignored the faces of the other patriarchs, and his face was sage, he lifted his robe and walked away, his body was straight, and he was full of imperial demeanor.

Liu Mu and Lin Gu were speechless, retreated and left with the others, and walked to a remote corner, Liu Mu took the lead in opening his mouth, "Give me a big dismount." ”

"Now that the prince's wings are getting fuller, he no longer takes us seriously." Lin Gu couldn't answer him, so he could only find a topic by himself.

"That's right." Liu Mu stroked his beard, as if thinking of a countermeasure.

"So, what is Liu-sama going to do next?" He approached him slightly, hoping to quickly discuss a countermeasure. But who knew that Liu Mu didn't reveal anything, and left with his farewell.

In contrast, Su Zhongjun was more able to calm down, laughed with Hua Ran, and walked out of the palace.

Bai Weiwei got up early on time, sat obediently by the chessboard, thinking about the question left for herself when Lu Wei left yesterday, but her eyes suddenly blurred when she was very sleepy, and she couldn't help but lie on the chessboard and fell asleep, and several chess pieces rolled to the ground because of Bai Weiwei's touch.

Just at this time, Lu Wei came, walked slowly to Bai Weiwei, looked at her in a red suit, beautiful but unassuming, she was stunned in place, the face under the mask did not know what expression was hidden, but the thin lips did not move, he bent down, and the skinny hand picked up the chess pieces one by one, and under the backdrop of his hand, a few ordinary chess pieces were as dazzling as gems, he gently put the chess pieces into the chess arena, turned around and took off a fur fur on the hanger and gently covered it for Bai Weiwei.
