Movement is heard. Su Jingxi opened her eyes in a daze and reluctantly. Sleepy-eyed. He waved his evil hand in his face. "What."

The soft and glutinous voice was enough to make Zong Zhengjin soften his heart. It just didn't stop disturbing her sleep. "I'm gone."

Su Jingxi responded indiscriminately. "Hmm."

Zong Zhengjin was dissatisfied. Forcibly dug her out of bed. Abruptly leaving the warm bed. The cold wind made her unconsciously shrink into a ball. Immediately climbed on top of him. Use all four claws together. Strive to soak in warmth.

Zong Zhengjin was a little helpless. Didn't take her off in the end. "I'm not awake now."

Su Jingxi nodded. "Wake up."

"Then I'm gone."

"......" Su Jingxi didn't mean to come down. There was a pause. Asked. "Is the emperor going to court?"

When Zong Zhengjin heard this, she knew that she was not completely awake. It was too late last night. Although I am refreshed. She never slept enough. Glancing at the sky outside. I regret that I shouldn't have woken her up so early.

Wrap her in a futon. "I don't go to court. Rest for today. ”

"Then does the emperor want to accompany his concubines?" Su Jingxi turned her head to meet his eyes. The eyes are shining.

Zong Zhengjin leaned over and kissed her eyes. Drew a slight tremor from her. Hugged her tighter. "I still have something to do. I'll be with you when I'm done. ”

Su Jingxi blinked. Suddenly, most of the brilliance was lost. Pouted. It looks pitiful. Lovely and delicate.

Zong Zhengjin sighed. The little thing is really accurate to grasp him one at a time.

"I can't be with you. Then you can accompany me. Zong Zhengjin chuckled. Seeing that she did not answer. Keep asking. "Hmm."

"Okay."

Su Shunxian rushed to Guanju Palace early in the morning. Guarding the doorway, I heard intermittent commotion coming from inside. I was relieved for the most part. Fortunately, nothing unforeseen happened. Otherwise, regret is useless.

God knows that he listened to the emperor's orders last night. The dancer was left alone. How much fear I was in my heart. all these years. To what extent does the emperor favor the one inside. Others don't know. He served as an in-chamberlain. But it couldn't be clearer.

If it is according to the stubbornness of the one inside. really got into trouble with the emperor. Hurting others is small. If you can't think about it. What stupid things were done. I'm afraid of the wrath of the thunder. No one can easily withstand it.

……

After Zong Zhengjin left. Su Jingxi didn't feel sleepy at all. He was sobered up for the most part. I can't sleep now.

Tingyao and the others walked in to freshen up and dress her. Su Jingxi pointed to a long dress in the closet that was sprinkled with flowers by Hunan birds. "Let's wear that. The main palace will go to the Zichen Hall later. You can't always wear it too badly. ”

If nothing else. There will be a tough battle to be fought later.

Listen to Yao and don't realize it. Nodding. "After this garment was delivered. The mother thinks it's too gorgeous. But I didn't wear it once. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. It is excellent to wear this piece. ”

Su Jingxi hooked the corners of her mouth. Didn't say anything.

Zichen Palace

"Your Majesty. Lord Meng and Master Su asked to meet. Su Shun came in to report.

Zong Zhengjin nodded. Su Shun hurriedly went out to invite someone.

"Weichen see the emperor." The two walked in. Kneel and salute.

"You're welcome. Flatten. Zong Zhengjin was faint. silently gave Meng Wentian a look. The latter received the tract. Said with a smile. "Weichen left the house early in the morning. Then I met Brother Su by chance...... Sue-sama. Then they entered the palace together by chance. ”

Zong Zhengjin didn't even want to give him another look. Such a reason. Don't talk about him. If Su Jingxi is here. She wouldn't believe it.

Well. People like she don't believe it. A man as intelligent as him would not believe it.

"Wechen is guilty. Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. Su Junwen hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

His heart was not willing to enter the palace. Although according to his official position. I can't see the emperor very often. The questioning at the time of the court will not be his turn. And the most important thing for promotion is that you need to be familiar with each other in front of the emperor. A good impression with the emperor. It's not that I don't understand this truth. It's just that he's afraid that he's going to get his sister in trouble because of himself.

Last night's feast. He also has a small position. When my sister walked into the temple. He glanced at it from afar. It's not bad to look at. Later, I heard that my sister was promoted to Concubine Zhen. He was extremely pleased.

It's such a critical moment. He couldn't drag his sister down. But he couldn't stand Meng Wentian's strong invitation and forced dragging.

"Alright. Get up. Zong Zhengjin said lightly.

Meng Wentian and Su Junwen glanced at each other. Said silently. "I'll just say it'll be fine."

Su Junwen was silent. Say nothing more. Silently stood aside. Silent.

Zong Zhengjin retracted his gaze. "You can find out."

Meng Wentian regained his serious complexion. replied. "Go back to the emperor. Wechen has already found out. The dancing girl was not what the emperor expected. It was found in a small town at the border gate. According to the spy report. Cultivated for several years. It was only recently sent to the capital. ”

"Border ......" Zong Zhengjin smiled sarcastically.

"And. Emperor. General Ning has already entered Beijing. He is currently staying at Ning's house. I heard it arrived last night. Wait until the gates of the capital are opened. Only then did he enter Beijing. Meng Wentian didn't look up. Go on.

"What about our people."

They all followed into the Ning family. I heard that it was invited by General Ning. Meng Wentian actually received the news last night. It's just that I was busy investigating the matter of the dancer at the time. The doppelganger has no skills. I can't deal with that in a timely manner.

Priorities. He can still tell the difference...... bar.

Zong Zhengjin didn't say much. "I don't have time today. Tomorrow. Tomorrow you accompany him into the palace. I will summon him. ”

Meng Wentian was a little puzzled. "What else is the emperor doing today?"

"You don't care so much." Zong Zhengjin said unhappily.

Meng Wentian touched his nose. Is. There's something so mysterious. I can't ask a single question.

Ne Road. "Wechen knows his mistake."

"If you know it's wrong, get out." Zong Zhengjin didn't have the slightest intention of keeping him. Said lightly.

Meng Wentian took a deep breath. "It's snowing outside. Wechen left after a while. ”

Pull the ladder up behind you. It used to be. Now the speed of demolition is getting faster and faster.

Zong Zhengjin was about to speak. Su Shunxian came in from outside. Whispered. "Your Majesty. Concubine Zhen is here. ”

He just heard the emperor angry.

Now Meng Wentian understood everything. But that's why. He was even more reluctant to go.

Meng Wentian didn't speak. Su Junwen simply lowered his head. Pretend you don't know anything.

Zong Zhengjin saw that the two of them had no eyesight at all. Somewhat angry. But in the end, he opened his mouth first. "Let her in."

As Meng Wentian said. It's snowing outside. Stand at the door of the temple and wait. It must be extremely cold.

Su Jingxi walked into the hall. As soon as he turned around, he habitually looked up. Then he noticed that there was someone nearby. Then he laughed. Hold back the excitement in your heart. Bow to the blessed body. "The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

Zong Zhengjin would not be angry with her. Nodding. "Get up."

"Weichen greets Concubine Zhen." Meng Wentian and Su Junwen both saluted. It's just that the two of them are according to their grades. The rites performed are different.

Su Jingxi didn't even think about it, so she directly turned sideways to avoid it. "Master Meng and my brother...... Master Su doesn't have to be so polite. ”

"Concubine Zhen is different now. It's not the same. Weichen didn't dare to lose the rules in front of Concubine Zhen. "If these words were said by the concubines of the harem. Su Jingxi will definitely listen to it as a counterstatement. But it came out of Meng Wentian's mouth. But it's just the surface.

I guess it's just a superficial meaning.

Su Jingxi chuckled. "Lord Meng is also impressed by this palace. Since marrying the Ninth Princess. Bengong looked at Lord Meng and became more and more energetic. ”

These words were enough to amuse the few people present. Including Zong Zhengjin.

Bent the corners of his mouth. Beckoned to her. "Come here."

Su Jingxi immediately turned around and walked up. Stand beside him. Somewhat puzzled.

Zong Zhengjin did not explain. "Since your brother has entered the palace today. I'll write this blessing on it. ”

The first day of the new year every year. The emperor will write a few large characters. and grant him the house of the courtiers whom he chooses to come out. Although it is not a reward of many nobles. But it means that this official is favored by the emperor. It is intended to commend him for his meritorious service over the past year. It is among the courtiers. It is also to be honored whether or not to get the blessing word given by the emperor.

There doesn't seem to be much connection between the two. But Su Jingxi and Su Junwen both smiled when they heard this. It never matters if there is a logical connection or not.

Su Junwen thought more. Although the heart is happy. In the end, it is more stable. "The emperor can give Su Jiafu the word. It is already the glory of the supremacy of the Su family. Wechen thanks the emperor for his grace. ”

Su Jingxi heard another deep meaning from his words. My brother is just afraid that prosperity will decline. How she is favored in the palace is one thing. But if it involves the Su family. It's about government affairs. Naturally, there will be people who are red-eyed. Thus it cannot be tolerated.

It's just that my brother doesn't know. If you just want to back down. Eat humble pie. In many cases, it is not possible to make a big thing a small one. Moreover. The reason why she chose to enter the palace in the first place. I just don't want my brother to be an official in the court one day. That's what happens.

The Su family is no longer the Su family it used to be. Because she is no longer the Su Jingxi she used to be. I think my mother didn't explain her words to my father and brothers. Or they don't understand it.

Case. Why don't you let her push it again?

Su Jingxi saw that he had already written the big characters. It is being named. Lean in. "Can the concubine also write?"

Meng Wentian and Su Junwen at the bottom were stunned. Especially Su Junwen. The reaction was extremely strong. Fortunately, Meng Wentian stopped him in time.

Zong Zhengjin didn't answer her. Put down the pen until you're done writing. "I want to write."

Su Jingxi nodded violently.
