Gu Xiyan blushed, pricked up his ears, and when he heard the footsteps of Cuiyu and Yanhong in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up, and poured a cup of warm tea from the kang table on the side.

In between the actions, the shadow of a woman flickered on the mirror platform on three sides.

The skin is as white as porcelain, there are obvious dark circles under the eyelids, the cheeks are gorgeous like a burning fire, the eye waves are sparkling like spring water, and the delicate and charming are revealed from the bones.

Gu Xiyan reluctantly took a sip of tea, then hurriedly shrank into the quilt, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and groaned.

It can't be like this anymore!

It's just ...... It's ridiculous!

Could it be that when that guy asked Duan Yingluo to use the quiet room every morning, even if he was sure that he would not be able to get up in the morning?

She was embarrassed and a little frustrated, why was that guy so energetic.

I go to practice early in the morning, and then go to Xiao Aoxuan to deal with some affairs and have breakfast, sometimes I will come back and pull her out of the quilt to have lunch together, but more often I will stay in Xiao Aoxuan and have lunch with Qi Xiao. If he stayed at Xiao Aoxuan for lunch, it would mean that he would not come back in the afternoon, and Gu Xiyan would find something to do on his own; If he came back for lunch, then Gu Xiyan didn't want to do anything in the afternoon, so he had to stay with him all the time.

If he was reading some confidential document, he would ask her to sit next to him to write or read a book, and then inadvertently look up and tell her which character is good and which is not good to practice. Which sentence in this book is interesting and which is boring, but every time he didn't wait for Gu Xiyan to speak, Qi Maosheng had already lowered his head to look at his confidential information and approved his instructions, the only thing Gu Xiyan could do was to sigh emptyly; If he read an idle book, he would drink her from side to side, sometimes to make some tea, and sometimes to pinch his shoulder, but most of the time he held her in his arms. Let her read a few pages to him, if she doesn't do it, she will bite her ear and whisper in her ear, "I like to listen to your voice the most, delicate, like ...... on the bed", Gu Xiyan was busy struggling to sit up from his arms to read, he ate and laughed and made a fuss...... Those two times, I couldn't stop it......

Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn't help but hold his breath.

The two of them always eat dinner together.

Had dinner. Mr. Ding will come to talk to Qi Maosheng about things. Because he was outside every time, so far, Gu Xiyan had only heard Mr. Ding's voice, and had not seen this person yet.

He often brings all kinds of news to Qi Maosheng, sometimes it is good news that Qi Maosheng wants to hear, and sometimes it is bad news that he doesn't want to hear. But whether it's good news or bad news, Qi Maosheng will nag her before going to bed.

Suddenly, Gu Xiyan had a feeling that all the major events in the world were in his hands.

For example, she knew that the prince born to Jian Baolin only lived for three days before he died; Crown Prince Yang Yu's widow, Yu, gave birth to a son in mid-February, and Yu was honored as a result. As the crown princess, Fang Shaoying did not make any movement; Xu Zhen's concubine Xinna three years ago became pregnant again this year after giving birth to a son to him last year; Mrs. Hu, the mother of Wu Qi, the Duke of Jin, and Luo Weijie, the Shaofu of the Duke of Jin, went to Dawuguan to worship God on the New Year's Day, and they stayed there for five days according to etiquette; and his titular father, Gu Baozhang. A few days ago, because of "diligence", he was promoted to the third grade of "Taichang Temple Chat".

As for some of the others who have been promoted and who have been demoted, those names are just a character to her, and she can't guess anything from these words, so she naturally skips it.

One day, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but pout, "I don't know if there is any movement on Zuo Xiaoyu's side?" I really hope Whelan and the others are okay! ”

Qi Maosheng disagreed, and said with some contempt: "The feudal officials of more than one grade came to me!" ”

Gu Xiyan looked at him with sparkling eyes. Pointing to the news in his hand about Mi Ji's wife Lian Fanghua's pregnancy: "When will Mi Ji be promoted!" ”

Qi Maosheng raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't he almost become your brother-in-law?" That's why I'm paying attention! ”

Gu Xiyan pursed her lips.

Qi Maosheng smiled and scratched her nose: "I'll send someone to inquire!" ”

Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng were in the honey when they were mixing oil, and they wished that others would be like them. She sighed and said, "You say, if Mi Ji really becomes my brother-in-law, how nice it would be!" Maybe we'll be able to walk around like normal relatives! ”

Qi Maosheng was leaning on the pillow at the time to look at the box that Mr. Ding brought in, and the box contained news sent by Yandi's spy agencies in various places. \\\\\\

He put down the piece of paper in his hand and pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "This is how fate is inadvertently changed. Then. The Mi family has declined. If your sister doesn't enter the palace as a female official, how can she have Mi Ji's soaring career; Equally. Without Mi Ji's gang of the same year and old friends in the court and the opposition, your sister would not have been able to stand out in the palace so quickly. I think they had already calculated it when they made that decision. It's just that I didn't expect things to change in the end, and the emperor violated the ancestral system and accepted a female official as a concubine. Now it's okay, Yang Yu has done the same, and he has also accepted a female official as a concubine. I think that in the future, those women who want to enter the palace as female officials will probably have to think about it again! ”

Gu Xiyan said disappreciably: "If you have any thoughts, think about it, anyway, if you enter the palace, you will not serve the emperor." In the final analysis, the female palace is just a palace maid in disguise! ”

Qi Maosheng looked at her strangely: "Don't you know anything about these things?" ”

Gu Xiyan glared back at him very weakly.

Qi Maosheng looked at her childlike appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You don't know, it's common sense." This rule is all broken from Li Chaoyang, the land of the Taichu Dynasty. It turned out that in the palace of the Xia Kingdom, only women were used. The court maid is a servant, the female official is an official, and the court maid is responsible for the daily life of the royal family. The female officials were responsible for the education of the court ladies and assisted the queen in the management of the inner court. The palace maid is elected every three years and released every ten years; Female officials are different, the royal family will hold a women's six arts exam every three years, and those women who pass the exam will be recorded in the official department, and when there is a vacancy in the palace, they can fill the vacancy and enter the palace as a female official. Once you become a female official, you will enjoy the country's benefits according to your ability, the length of your palace, etc., just like Jinshi and the first. Among the female officers, there are also two kinds. One is the female official who holds the classics, and the other is the female envoy who is in charge of the music books. Female officials are generally women who are unwilling to marry because they are too ugly or for other reasons, and are determined to serve the royal family for life. The royal family's treatment of female officials is also much higher than that of female envoys, and some female officials are even named the wife of the first grade; The female envoys are generally those women who are born in the valve, they are proud of the six arts, and they are proud to serve the queen, hoping to get the royal family's marriage through the intimate relationship with the inner court, and marry into a more prominent family. And the royal family also likes this kind of female envoy very much, and she doesn't have to pay a lot of salary. It can also maintain a good relationship with various valve families...... But in the hands of the Li family of the Taichu Dynasty, everything changed, and eunuchs appeared," Speaking of this, a look of contempt appeared on Qi Maosheng's face, "That's why there is the current situation, and the inner court actually let the female officials and the eunuchs rule side by side." ”

It can be seen that Qi Maosheng is very disdainful of the eunuch system.

Gu Xiyan was stunned when she heard this, thinking of the information revealed in Qi Maosheng's words, and said with some disbelief: "But when my sister entered the palace. broke off the marriage contract with Mi Ji, and she became a maid! ”

Qi Maosheng smiled: "A woman with a marriage contract." You can't be a female official, and you don't have to be assigned to marry, why do you enter the palace as a female official! Besides, when a female official enters the palace, there is no distinction between a female envoy and a female official for the first three years. Because there is no limit to the envoy, as long as she wishes. The queen agreed, and she could go home after going to the ministry to close the case. But female officials are different, they are lifelong, so they will be given a period of time to think about it, and they will not decide rashly. The female officials are in charge of the classics, and they are the female officials in the real sense of the word, and they are the ones who master the secrets of the palace. It's death. It must also be cremated in the palace before it can be released. ”

"Could it be, was it in the first place. When my sister entered the palace, she had an agreement with Mi Ji ......" Thinking of the meaning of this move, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but stutter a little, "But in the end, she still chose to be a maid, and she lied to me and wanted me to enter the palace too......

Qi Maosheng nodded and said, "It should be so!" Otherwise, why did Mi Ji not marry a wife until she was thirty years old. I'm afraid it's because your sister is hopeless, so I have to do it. Speaking of which, he is the only seedling of the Mi family, and for the sake of the heir, he can't wait any longer. ”

For some reason, Gu Xiyan felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She remembered the time she saw Gu Chaorong in Chengqian Palace, sitting in the middle of the lifeless hundred-year-old purple purlin furniture with a delicate face like a flower, which made people feel disappointed. She couldn't help but murmur: "Is she for Mi Ji, or is it for power?" Or, at the beginning, it was for Mi Ji, but later, I tasted the taste of power and couldn't stop...... Is it worth it? ”

Qi Maosheng was not as sentimental as her, and said very rationally: "Since you have made a choice, you must have the courage to bear failure." Otherwise, it's better for me to plant my own one-third of an acre of land at home, and don't flutter around. ”

Gu Xiyan said coquettishly: "Maosheng, there are a few people who have the courage of you, and how many people have the tenacity of you!" ”

Qi Maosheng saw that she was displeased, and said calmly: "Mi Jidi is really too undeserved, if you want to marry, just find one at will, why bother to marry the girl of the Lian family with ten miles of red makeup, the concubine and the princess are indeed too pitiful!" ”

What are they?

I didn't understand myself at all!

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but comfort himself when he heard his words, and couldn't help glaring at him obliquely.

Qi Maosheng naturally lowered his head to look at the spy report silently, and pretended to be deaf and dumb at Gu Xiyan's eyes.

Quietly turning the page, Gu Xiyan felt a little cold, she shivered, as if to prove something, she hugged Qi Maosheng's neck and fell into his arms, and said in a low mood: "Maosheng, this world is changing too fast, we never know what decisions we will make in the next moment, while we are still together, we must love each other well." ”

Qi Maosheng was seduced by the soft body on his body, and the words on the spy report seemed to be swinging back so that he couldn't see it clearly, but Gu Xiyan was still there without a little natural nagging.

For those words and deeds that made him feel inexplicable, he would ask at the beginning, but every time the two would have a dispute because of this. If Gu Xiyan persuaded him, it would be okay to say, if he couldn't be convinced, he would pout and ignore him, and in the end, he didn't want him to be careful. So Qi Maosheng kissed Yanyan's lips and put his hand into her shirt...... This has also become a means for Qi Maosheng to solve the problem.

Thinking of this, the beautiful scenery of that day resurfaced in Gu Xiyan's mind, and the quilt suddenly became stuffy, she hurriedly pulled down the quilt covering her head, wanting the light in the room to divert her mind and breathe.

Looking forward to it, the corner of her eye swept to an envelope placed on the kang table.
