Chapter 197: Hundred States

It doesn't take a moment. Su Shun casually trotted in. Salute. ". The emperor let you in. ”

Su Jingxi nodded. Under his guidance. Walk towards the main hall in broken steps. to the inner temple. Stand. "The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

Zong Zhengjin did not raise his head. Only the vocal tract is spoken. "Get up."

Su Jingxi got up. A few steps up. Stand a few feet away from him. Just looked at him quietly. He doesn't speak.

Zong Zhengjin roughly glanced at the notes in his hand. Pick up a pen and write a few words and throw them aside. He picked up a copy from the other side. And so on and so forth. Until two quarters of an hour have passed. He put down the pen. Rubbing his eyebrows. Afterglow caught a glimpse of the man standing to the side staring at him.

sighed. Beckoned. "Why is this time coming?"

Three days off for the New Year. The backlog is not a small one. After the bottom of the court. He's been here ever processing the reviews. I didn't have the leisure to take care of her.

Su Jingxi walked over in a few steps. Stand behind him. Knead it with your own strength. Soft channel. "The concubines have nothing to do in the palace. Wander around and get to the emperor. ”

As an emperor. What is enjoyed is supreme power. Countless splendor and wealth. But what is borne by the corresponding is also the sadness and calculation that others cannot see. It's not that with great ability comes great responsibility. With great responsibility comes great ability.

Be in this position. The people and the common people could not easily allow him to say no. Thousands of lives are on his load. It bears the survival and rise and fall of the entire country. How the history books of later generations are written depends on how he does it.

There is no one to replace.

"You just said you want to die. I will not blame you. Zong Zhengjin closed his eyes. He said with a smile.

Su Jingxi didn't see the embarrassment in the past. Instead, he nodded solemnly. Then it occurred to me that he was invisible at the moment. So he spoke up. "The emperor is really like a god. The concubines are precisely because they miss the emperor. That's ...... Ah......h

A spin that turned the sky upside down. When I opened my eyes again. Su Jingxi was already sitting on his lap. It was in front of his unabashedly playful eyes. He blinked weakly.

Zong Zhengjin was a little funny. Raise your hand to hook her chin. "Could it be that your mother entered the palace today. It didn't teach you how to be reserved. Introverted? ”

Su Jingxi pulled his hand. But he couldn't break free. Somewhat discouraged. "Not really. The mother said that the concubine is like this now. It couldn't be better. No need to change. ”

Zong Zhengjin stroked her cheek with his thumb. Delicate and smooth as always. Wait until you have enough to take advantage of her before lifting her up a little. "I don't believe what you say."

For Sue. He's only seen two faces. Even if there is not too much talk and communication. But it is still easy to see that the Su family must be the best lady in their duty. Strict attention is paid to the rules.

With that in mind. I thought of something. Teased. "Your mom and dad never knew about you, did they?"

The more I think about it, the more likely it is. If it is according to Su Junwen's appearance. Even if it's a daughter. Su Shuyan would never teach her to be so unruly. Failure to do what is done.

But with the cunning and wisdom of the man in his arms. Easy to disguise. It's not impossible.

Su Jingxi was a little weak-hearted. But he said hard. "Which side? This is a concubine. That's also a concubine. Daddy and Mom know it personally. ”

Zong Zhengjin couldn't know her better. Just listen to her tone. My conjecture must be correct. It's a kind of appearance in front of your biological parents. It is also the same appearance in front of the harem concubines. In front of him. It's even more different.

Ever changing. There are many ways to live. It's really funny.

"Rest assured. I will not sue Master Su. Zong Zhengjin was very cooperative. lest she be anxious and anxious.

"The emperor is a gentleman. How to do the things of the villain. The emperor doesn't have to explain. The concubine understood. Su Jingxi followed his words. Whispering joy in my heart.

Zong Zhengjin held back a smile. The face is serious. "Who told me two days ago? Jun'er doesn't stick to her anymore. ”

"That's not a complaint. That's just communication. "If it's a complaint. Wouldn't she be a villain?

"Oh. Then I can also communicate with Master Su. ”

"Daddy is boring. If the emperor wants to communicate, he can't communicate with his concubines. ”

"With you." Zong Zhengjin glanced at her. He shook his head disapprovingly.

Su Jingxi bit her lip. Insist. "Communicate with concubines. From body to mind. Isn't it happy? ”

"From body to heart......" Zong Zhengjin hooked the corners of his mouth. Repeating her words. "It's just a matter of body. I thought. Communication with your heart is tiring. ”

It's definitely telling the truth. Looks like a long experience. Communicate with her soul. The most tacit time is only when you are in bed.

Su Jingxi didn't follow. Pouted. "How tired it is to communicate with the concubines."

"It's the same with the cow." Zong Zhengjin scoffed. commented mercilessly.

It's just a big deal. It's never been a piece of the story. It's often always the wind and the horses and cows that don't get along. Far from it.

"The emperor likes to play the piano to the cow in bed the most." Su Jingxi felt funny in her heart. He asked seriously and innocently.

Zong Zhengjin listened to her "play the piano to the cow" and bit it very hard. He laughed out loud without being kind. "If you compare yourself to a cow. Then I'll just play the piano. ”

Play the piano. Talk about love. It sounds the same.

"If a concubine is a cow. Wouldn't the emperor sleep with the cow every day? ”

Zong Zhengjin ignored her eyes that were completely for his good. Nodding. "That's better than sleeping with a pig."

Cows are better than pigs. Let's just forget about it.

Su Jingxi lowered her little head. Hearing this, I was powerless. Being a cow. Defeated the pigs. But it's something to be proud of.

"The emperor has been wronged." Sleep with the cow every day. The sacrifice is not ordinarily large.

"I am not aggrieved. Accept that she is a livestock before she is wronged. You don't have to be so presumptuous. No matter what kind of person you are. You should be a human being. Instead of thinking about being a beast all day long. ”

"......" Su Jingxi suddenly felt that this should be playing the piano to the cow.

The two of them chatted for half an hour on this nonsensical topic. After lunch. Su Jingxi didn't want to disturb him. Distracted him. It didn't last long. took people back to Guan Ju Palace directly.

……

". Shall we not go in? Qingqi half-supported Concubine Shu. Stand at the other end of the Zichen Palace. watched Concubine Zhen's guard of honor gradually leave. Asked out loud.

Qiao Jingshu smiled faintly. Glancing up at the sky. "That's it. Let's go back. ”

Qingqi didn't move a step. Persuade. "Niangniang came to Zichen Palace. It's the result of thinking about it for a long time. Now I haven't even seen the emperor's face. I thought about going back. How can the emperor respond to the mother's request. ”

Qiao Jingshu restrained her expression. "What this palace asks. Whether you see the emperor or not, the result is the same. ”

My brother did something wrong. It has long been a foregone conclusion. Even if the father and the mother have a monstrous anger. Hate its uselessness. But when I'm angry, I'll still try my best to protect my brother. At the very least, we have to protect his life.

For her. The same is true.

I struggled for a long time in Chonghua Palace. In the end, I chose to go to the Zichen Palace. It's just when it's close to the palace gate. But uncontrollably timid. Panic and reluctance to move forward.

She is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. But he was the only one who was very afraid of him.

Everyone knows about it. Whether it's folk or harem. And he always pays attention to the movements of the Qiao family. It must be extremely clear. She didn't even want to speculate if it was his handiwork. I just want to know what the world knows.

"Maybe the emperor has met Niangniang. It will change the mind of the mind. ”

Qiao Jingshu hooked the corners of her mouth slightly mockingly. "The emperor is the emperor. It's okay to change your mind for anyone. But it will not change for the sake of this palace. ”

He can live for the sake of the world. For anyone to change their minds. But she was the only one who was excluded. Perhaps from the beginning. The two of them were out of the question.

She loved him. He knows. She didn't say. He pretended not to know.

"Niangniang......" Qingqi helped her to get into the car. Some can't bear it.

Qiao Jingshu was extremely calm in her heart. Maybe you can deceive yourself before. Pretending to be fickle alive. But now she. Faced with these facts, which had been in front of her early in the morning. There is pain. There is unwillingness. There is jealousy. But what followed was indifference and relief.

He is as important as the Qiao family. She is not destined to give up anyone for anyone's sake.

"Let's go back to the palace first. In a few days, he will leave the palace to save his relatives. More preparation is needed. Qiao Jingshu sat in the car. Slowly lower the curtain in front of you. Said softly.

"Yes."

Qingqi was helpless. Glancing at the Zichen Hall not far away. Magnificent. Magnificent. Towering cascading cornices into the clouds. The octagonal white dragon is as vivid as the clouds. Lifelike. It makes people fear when they look at it from a distance. Timid did not dare to step forward.

Retract your gaze. Qingqi waved her hand. The car started slowly. She was with her.

It's so close. But it's so far away.

……

"As the emperor expected. Concubine Shu had been waiting outside the Zichen Hall for nearly an hour. But he never came in. Su Shunxian stood at the bottom. He replied in a deep voice.

Zong Zhengjin did not raise his head. "I see."

Su Shun waited for a few moments. Seeing that he didn't seem to have anything to say. He bowed. I thought about quitting directly. Only two steps. Then he heard a voice from above. "Have they ever met?"

Su Shunxian's brain turned extremely fast this time. Or maybe he had already carefully inquired about the palace people on duty. So he hurriedly replied. "Go back to the emperor. Concubine Zhen entered the Zichen Hall first than Concubine Shu. When I left, I also left in the direction of the East Sixth Palace. And Shu Guifei Niangniang is on the west side. Therefore, Concubine Zhen should not have seen it. ”

The implication. can only be sure that Concubine Zhen didn't see Concubine Shu. But there is no guarantee that Concubine Shu did not see Concubine Zhen. The difference is self-evident.

Zong Zhengjin nodded. Didn't say anything more. waved his hand. Seeing this, Su Shunxian hurriedly retreated.
