The empress, who was about to visit Zhao Liwen, happened to pass by the gate of the inner court, and saw Wang Xiaolai, the Eight Sages and Liu Maolin stopping to say something, and the curious empress took the people around her and hid behind the palace gate of the inner court alone, listening to the conversation between the three of them.

The more I listened to it, the more I blushed, especially when the Eight Sages King said that Wang Xiaolai would agree to marry him, the empress's face was like a fire.

It's been three years since he ascended the throne, and it's not the first time that the Eight Sages have been looking for a husband for themselves as an elder, and the first two years were slow at first, but since the beginning of this year, the Eight Sages have been urging more and more tightly.

In fact, the empress also knew in her heart that the situation in the mouth of the Eight Sages King could not be avoided in her own body at all.

Although it is said that the empress is only twenty now, and the grade is not too big, you must know that if you wait for another two or three years, it will not only be the Eight Sages who are panicked.

Not to mention the people of Daxing City? Manchu civil and military?

If the Qingzhou Party had not been suppressed and exterminated by itself at that time, I am afraid that it would have been criticized by himself as the Son of Heaven, but there was no reason to criticize him.

The senate, who wears the same pants as the Qingzhou Party, likes this kind of verbal kung fu the most, which is disgusting.

When he ascended the throne earlier, the people who kept shouting Biji Sichen were not the people in the Senate headed by Wan Liufang.

Every time I think of this, the empress hates itchy.

Just thinking about it, I heard Wang Xiao say that he had no merit and no reputation, and later, Wang Xiao's self-talk sentence made the empress stunned.

She didn't know what she was thinking now, in short, she had some expectations, some resistance, and some shyness.

Here, the empress herself blushed and hid behind the door, and outside, the conversation between the Eight Sages King and Wang Xiaolai was not over.

"It's easy to get credit, it's easy to get an official position, right now there is a war in Yongliang, if you say something, I'll transfer you to Gongyou's hands to mix your qualifications, and when you come back from the battle, won't you have the credit?"

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand when he heard this.

The Eight Sages King still looked puzzled: "What? Are you afraid of danger? ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No, to be honest, if it is said that there is still danger in the Wuhou camp, there is rarely a safe place in the world, and I don't go, there is another reason." ”

"What is the reason?"

Wang Xiaolai pursed his lips and forgot to glance at the direction of the inner court, so frightened that the empress just thought that Wang Xiaolai had discovered herself, and hurriedly held her breath.

"I haven't finished the improvement of well fire and gunpowder, this is the key to whether Your Majesty can sweep the grassland in the future, if I want to mix qualifications and seek official positions now, who will do gunpowder and hot air balloons? In other words, if I do that, I am afraid that I will not be able to agree to it, because it will make me feel even more sorry for the trust that His Majesty has placed in me. Wang Xiaolai said a word, and the two people who said it were stunned, and one person was greatly moved.

The two who were shocked were the Eight Sages King and Liu Maolin, and the one who was moved was the empress.

You don't know if Wang Xiaolai's words are full of running trains or really from his heart, all in all, Wang Xiaolai is very sincere.

It was the next paragraph that completely exposed the nature of this kid.

"Besides, my goal is to be a rich man, spending money every day, climbing high and looking at the moon, hugging left and right, isn't it chic? Being a general or prime minister is not my pursuit. Besides, if it weren't for His Majesty calling me to come, I wouldn't have come to do it. ”

Looking at Wang Xiaolai's smiling face, the Eight Sages King always had the urge to smash it with a fist.

The heart said how could this bastard be so unenlightened.

Wang Xiaolai smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will withdraw first, in short, today's incident, it is good that it has not happened, and it will rot in the stomachs of the three of us." ”

The Eight Sages King caught up and shouted, "Slow down, then Your Majesty?" ”

Wang Xiaolai turned around: "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

"You really don't have the urge to be tempted by Your Majesty?"

Wang Xiaolai pondered carefully, and then looked up with a smile: "It's a bit early to say this now, in short, let's take a step at a time, in case something happens later, right?" ”

The Eight Wise Kings: "···"

Liu Maolin: "···"

"Two, I'll withdraw first."

With that, Wang Xiaolai took a step and left.

Here, the Eight Sages King and Liu Maolin stood in place in a daze for a long time, until a cough behind them scared the two of them to death, and when they turned their heads, it was the empress, who was about to kneel with an oops.

The empress helped the two of them up one by one: "Uncle Huang, old Xiangguo, what do you mean?" ”

Liu Maolin's sweat rolled down: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you heard it all?" ”

The empress pretended to be puzzled: "What did I hear?" Do you have anything to hide from me? ”

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, the old minister retires." Liu Maolin said, and gave the Eight Sages King a straight look.

At this time, even if the Eight Sages wanted to open up, they felt that it was not time, after all, there were still a few small yellow doors behind the empress.

coughed dryly, followed Liu Maolin's example, and turned around to say goodbye.

After everyone left, the empress stood in place with her hands in her hands, looking at the royal road leading to the noon gate, Wang Xiaolai's figure was pulled in the dusk, dragging it for a long time.

"Hmph, this little laizi is quite interesting."

The empress suddenly smiled and muttered to herself.

Behind his back, carrying the newly made tonic soup from the imperial dining room, Father-in-law Le lowered his body and asked the empress: "Your Majesty, the ginseng soup is about to be cold, shall we still go to Zhao Mink Temple?" ”

The empress turned around and waved her big hand: "Go." ”

···

Seeing that there was the noon gate in front of him, Wang Xiaolai, who had walked all the way, still felt his heart pounding.

The Eight Sages King and Liu Maolin are too bold, they dare to ask themselves about the empress's lifelong events, and they almost didn't stop their hearts, but fortunately, they are fat enough, otherwise, they won't even be able to get out of this palace.

"Phew, next time you have to pay attention, don't leave with these two old men."

Wang Xiaoself muttered.

As he spoke, he entered the noon gate, and the Yu Linjun and Wang Xiaolai who were guarding the door were acquaintances, and when they saw him, they both raised their hands and greeted him with a smile: "Lord Shizhong, this is going back?" Your Majesty didn't keep you tonight. ”

Wang Xiaolai was thrilled when he heard His Majesty's words, and now he is simply a rumor, raising his head and smiling stiffly: "Ah, ah, no, no." What's that, the brothers are busy first, and I'll withdraw first. ”

Saying that, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly ran out of the noon gate, as if he was one step too late, and there was an evil ghost behind him who wanted to eat him.

The few Yulin soldiers who were guarding the noon gate were still happy, and said one by one: "Lord Wang, what's wrong with this today, I usually say a few words to us, chatter, why do you feel a little unrelenting today?" ”

"Hey, maybe His Majesty gave the adults some orders, so that the adults feel that it is not easy to do."

"Well, it's possible."

All the way out of the noon gate, Wang Xiaolai ran to the noon gate square, and saw that there was a single carriage parked in the square.

Wang Xiaolai didn't think about it, so he went straight away, he knew that it was Shu Jiuchai who was waiting for him on purpose, since he woke up for a month, Shu Jiuchai and Hongxiang came many times, and every time they would come to the palace square to pick him up, and the appearance of the carriage made Wang Xiaolai remember it.

When it came to the cut, on the wheel, it was really Shu Jiuchai who was waiting there, and when he saw Wang Xiaolai, Shu Jiuchai also beckoned and shouted: "Master." ”

As he spoke, he got out of the carriage and greeted him.

Seeing Shu Jiuchai, Wang Xiaolai's heart finally calmed down a little, and a smile appeared on his face: "Jiuchai is here, wait a lot of time, let's go, let's go back." ”

Shu Jiuchai didn't move when he heard this, but lowered his voice and said, "That master, Shen Xiping is here." ”

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Lao Shen is also here?" When did he come back? ”

As he was talking, the carriage turned around Shen Xiping, looked at Wang Xiaolai and said quietly: "My lord." ”

"Ah, Lao Shen, it's really you."

Speaking kung fu, Wang Xiaolai grabbed it, looked at Shen Xiping twice, and said: "It's dark, and I'm thin, old Shen, I've worked hard for you these days, go, I'll be the east today, and I'll invite you to have a good meal." ”

Shen Xiping pressed Wang Xiaolai's hand and said, "My lord, I have something to say to you." ”

Seeing that Shen Xiping's expression didn't look like a joke, Wang Xiaolai hissed: "What's the matter, old Shen?" What's wrong? ”

Shen Xiping knelt down: "My lord, if you don't agree to me, I, I." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Xiaolai asked.

Shen Xiping gritted his teeth: "I don't recognize you as a brother." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

"As for you, our brothers, if there is anything you can't say, come, get up, whatever you ask, I will agree, hurry up, don't kneel, get up and talk." Wang Xiaolai said speechlessly.
