"The Emperor"

"See the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The two shouted in unison.

Xia Qiqi also deliberately made a standard salute.

These are all things they did when they saw Yangchun before, but fortunately, she has a strong ability to imitate and has a good memory, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be big now.

Not to mention being a personal palace maid by Long Yuechen's side, even if it is difficult to be an ordinary palace maid in the palace.

Because as a palace maid, no matter how you say it, you must understand the basic etiquette.

"Seven ......"

Long Yuechen muttered.

He had stolen the title from Fu Li.

Because at the beginning, Xia Qiqi only secretly told Fu Li's real name, if he hadn't overheard it, he probably wouldn't know it now.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm not the concubine you're looking for."

Knowing who he was talking about, Xia Qiqi was too lazy to play a soap opera at eight o'clock here, so he said it directly and ruthlessly.

Long Yuechen was shocked by her indifferent tone.

"What did you say?" He looked at her in disbelief.

In his mind, he was trying his best to find the shadow of the heartless and willful Xia Qiqi before.

But no, no, there was nothing like it except that a face was very similar.

"Your Majesty, my name is Xia Poo, but I am not the concubine you are looking for."

No matter how painful his expression was, Xia Qiqi still said so indifferently, interpreting the coldness and ruthlessness so vividly.

Even Jing Yi and Wei Heng on the side couldn't stand it.

Since the concubine fell off the cliff, they still slept, and they would be so embarrassed to see the emperor for the first time.

There is no usual ruthlessness and decisiveness at all.

"You're not her? You're not her! ”

Long Yuechen's tone changed from the initial question to the final affirmation.

After realizing that she was not that person, her emotions calmed down.

"Let's get up first"

After his words fell, Xia Qiqi could finally stand up.

couldn't help but complain [This person is stumped and still has this hobby of torturing people? 】

"You're the one who wants to be my personal palace maid?"

He stared at her unobtrusively, not letting go of the slightest expression on her face.

Trying to find a trace of her from her body.

But nevertheless, but even so.

Because he hadn't seen her for too long, he had been disappointed too many times, so he always hoped that she would be her, and he was never willing to give up this idea.

"Yes, that's right."

She nodded faintly.

The face is respectful, and the calmness is sufficient, but it just doesn't have the naughtiness he wants.

"You know why you're here, right?"

He also looked at her calmly.

The atmosphere instantly became a little weird.

"I know, from yesterday to now, more than one person has said that I look very similar to that concubine, but, the emperor, what I want to say is that I am hungry and come here, just because I am very poor, I am not as noble as the concubine, I am very realistic, so I also hope that the emperor can recognize the reality and not treat me as a concubine, so as not to make the concubine Niangniang cold."

Xia Qiqi bit the words clearly, and said neither humble nor arrogant, but as soon as he finished speaking, Long Yuechen suddenly laughed.

"Well, you're here because you're poor."

He thought she would say something hypocritical, but he didn't expect her to say the truest thoughts in her heart generously.

"Okay, in that case, you can be my personal palace maid, as long as you do well, money is not a problem. Okay, I don't want to ask about the rest, you let Jing Yi tell you about other things. ”

After speaking, Long Yuechen left directly, and the speed of walking was still very fast, Xia Qiqi didn't have time to salute, and he had already walked a long way.

Seeing this, Wei Heng didn't follow up as usual.

And looked at Xia Qiqi and said.

"Miss Xia, I'll go and say a few words to Jing Yi first, don't mind."

"Lord Wei laughed, since Lord Wei wants to, I naturally won't mind."

Xia Qiqi smiled.

However, the smart Wei Heng could see at a glance the falsehood in her smile.

……

"Jing Yi, what do you think the emperor means by this?"

Wei Heng pulled Jing Yi under the big maple tree.

He originally thought that no matter how much she looked like a concubine, the emperor would never agree to let that woman be a personal palace maid, but he didn't expect that the emperor would just say a few words to her and agree.

"What else, I'm afraid the emperor can't help but miss it, and use her face to ease the lovesickness for the concubine. Jing Yi sighed without surprise.

"Have you noticed? When the Xia girl said about the concubine just now, the emperor was not angry, which shows that the status of the Xia girl in the emperor's heart is already a little special. ”

Since she fell off the cliff and they searched for it to no avail, no one dared to mention the words Concubine Niangniang or Xia Lisheng in front of the emperor, because he had unintentionally mentioned it once, and then he was directly sent to the cold pool.

Since then, no one has dared to mention these words again, unless they don't want to live.

"yes, it's already special, and I don't know if it's a good thing."

Wei Heng couldn't help but look up at the blue maple leaves and sighed.

"However, it should also be a good thing, if the emperor can borrow this Xia girl, in order to forget the concubine's words, it is not a good thing, okay, I will also go to the emperor's side, you should also go and teach that Xia girl."

"Hmm."

After Wei Heng left, Jing Yi did not immediately raise his feet and walk, but also looked up at the maple leaves, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

[Is it a good thing?] It can only be said that Wei Heng has never loved someone, when you fall in love with someone, no matter how similar another person's appearance is to that person, no matter how much you think of that person in your heart, it is impossible for you to really regard that person as that person.

It's never possible to fall in love with someone like that. Because, this is the so-called love. The scars it leaves on you are eternal and indelible, no matter how long it has passed. 】

……

"Okay, these things are basically what you need to do, the food that the emperor wants to eat at noon, the people in the imperial dining room will be responsible for delivering it to the gate, you are responsible for serving it with us."

"Okay, no problem."

Xia Qiqi nodded.

"Okay, now the emperor should be dealing with it at this time, you can go with me and wait on the side."

"Okay."

Xia Qiqi nodded again.

followed Jing Yi into a study set up in Long Yuechen's side room.

As Jing Yi said, when Xia Qiqi followed him into the study, Long Yuechen was indeed sitting intently in front of the desk at this time, holding a brush and writing something seriously.

After writing, I will take a special seal on the side and stamp it on the fold.

And Wei Heng stood quietly on his left hand, like a soldier guarding the country, with a very upright posture.

"Your Majesty."

"See the emperor, long live the emperor."

Xia Qiqi saluted as before.

The voices of the two were heard.

Only then did Long Yuechen stop the movements in his hand, raised his head, looked at the two of them, and finally, his eyes fixed on Xia Qiqi's body.

"Since you are my personal palace maid, then in the future, just like Jing Yi and them, just call me, and there is no need to wait for me to answer after the salute, you just stand up."

He didn't like the rituals that were too complicated.

Because for him, the best way to deter his people is not to rely on these unnecessary etiquette, but only to show his own political achievements is the best deterrent.

It's just that these rituals have lasted for many dynasties and can't be abolished so easily, so he only allows people close to him to do so.

And since Xia Poo wants to be his personal palace maid, then he is naturally listed among his close people.

"Yes."

If you meet other palace maids, you should be a little scared at this time, or you will be overjoyed, and you don't know whether you should agree.

However, I don't know if it's because he hasn't made any big gifts to Long Yuechen before, Xia Qiqi naturally and calmly agreed.

This disappointed Long Yuechen a little more.

There is always depression in his mind that he can't confide, he said with some irritation.

"Come here, grind it for me."

He quickly regained the domineering state of an emperor.

"Yes."

Xia Qiqi walked over slowly, picked up the grinding stone, and began to grind slowly.

I don't know if I should thank him, when he punished her, he asked her to grind for him, she has been doing grinding work for several days, and she can be regarded as proficient in this job, but now it is quite easy to do.

In this way, no one in the private room in the study spoke again.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of brushes touching and folding, and the sound of grinding.

Xia Qiqi had been grinding the ink for a long time, until she was almost unconscious, and it was Wei Heng who came out to save her.

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."

After listening to this, Long Yuechen pressed the brush on the brush stand, and then got up and said "Let's go".

He went first.

And Wei Heng and Jing Yi followed behind one left and one right.

Seeing this, Xia Qiqi also cleverly followed behind the two.

Long Yuechen's place to eat is usually in the living room.

After he went in, Jing Yi and Wei Heng stayed outside.

"Let's go, Miss Xia, let's go serve food."

Jing Yi said to her.

"Hmm."

Xia Qiqi nodded and went to the gate with the two of them.

It has to be said that everything here has strict rules.

Even the time for the food delivery in the imperial dining room was never late.

When the three of them walked out, there were five palace maids standing outside, and the four palace maids all served a dish of food in their hands.

There was also a palace maid with chopsticks and rice in her hand.

Jing Yi brought the bowls, chopsticks and rice.

And Xia Qiqi and Wei Heng served two dishes in their hands, and after serving them once, they were finished.

I have to say that Long Yuechen is quite economical in terms of eating, unlike some emperors in history, there are dozens of dishes in one meal.
