Chapter 52: Here He Comes
Zhu Jiu tried his best to keep his voice calm, and he didn't forget that she was still Tuoba Ye now, and replied calmly: "Didn't Your Majesty say that a slave is as cheap as an ant, and this life is all yours?" You didn't call the minions dead, and the minions didn't dare to die. β
"Hmph."
can be eloquent, why didn't she have so many words before?
Along the way, many courtiers looked at this scene in confusion, and Prime Minister Shen stepped forward with some hesitation: "Your Majesty......"
I want to remind him that the enthronement ceremony has not yet been completed, at least he has to accept the national seal he is holding, right?
Li Chunyue, who was holding a talisman on the side, saw His Majesty's careless appearance, and hurriedly pulled back Prime Minister Shen Cheng and whispered: "Your Majesty is in a good mood, let's not come up at this time to find yourself uncomfortable." β
"What?"
Prime Minister Shen was stunned and turned his head to look at him: "Your Majesty has just been assassinated, how can you be in a good mood?" β
Li Chunyue thought about it, suddenly glanced at Xuanyuan Che's arms, and shook his head at Prime Minister Shen: "It's probably ......" fell in love with Miss Tuoba, right?
But fortunately, he had to talk over his head, and he said it in vain, and he didn't know how much trouble he would make at the next draft ceremony.
Yu Guang glanced at Prime Minister Shen Cheng, if memory serves, this old thing also has a daughter, and she will be sent to the palace at the draft ceremony in the near future.
More is better than less, under Prime Minister Shen Cheng's inquiring gaze, Li Chunyue said meaningfully: "It was probably Your Majesty who killed the assassin, so I am in a good mood." β
"Tsk."
The old fox was pretending to be confused again.
Prime Minister Shen flicked his sleeves and simply personally held the national seal and sent it to the cabinet for safekeeping.
As for the talisman, it was still held by Li Chunyue for Xuanyuan Che, and when Xuanyuan Che remembered it, he would send it to him.
It seems that the enthronement ceremony ended as early as the moment Xuanyuan Che sat on the dragon chair of the Purple Pole Palace.
After the chaos was cleaned up, it is said that the Marquis of Anding took the prince Ye Wanqing and the official department Shangshu to track down the remaining assassins who had fled.
Zhu Jiu was taken back to Changle Hall by Xuanyuan Che and placed in the side hall, for several days, except for the day Xuanyuan Che brought her back, he stayed in the room with her for one night and never appeared again.
It is estimated that Lin Yao, who was placed in the cold prison, is about to wake up, in order to prevent Lin Yao from causing trouble, she has to go to the cold prison to pick people out first, and hand her over to the envoys of Gao Xinguo to send back before the envoys of Gao Xin Guo leave the palace tomorrow.
But Leng Qingxiu suddenly visited, and the palace maid who came to report the news was called Caiyue, who was the person arranged by Xuanyuan Che beside her.
Zhu Jiu saw her walking posture and recognized that she was a secret guard with no low martial arts, and pretended not to know on the surface, so he nodded: "I'll go to the main hall to meet her." β
Now she doesn't have any position, just a slave next to Xuanyuan Che, outsiders say that she is a pet maid, but she is really nothing in front of Leng Qingxiu, who has a grade.
When Zhu Jiu arrived at the front hall, before he could open his mouth to Leng Qingxiu, who was wearing a concubine-colored skirt, he was supported by Leng Qingxiu frowning: "What is Miss Tuoba doing?" You saved my life and Xiuzhu's lives that day, and today I specially brought Xiuzhu to thank you, and I also heard that you are in better health today, so I dared to come. β
There are no outsiders here, she doesn't call herself the palace when she speaks, one bite and one me, but it seems much more cordial, Zhu Jiu has always galloped on the battlefield, and he doesn't like these red tape, so he nodded to her and invited her to sit down together: "I heard that Concubine Leng Niangniang has a meritorious ...... escort."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiuzhu coughing and arrogantly: "Miss Tuoba, I forgot to tell you that now my master has been promoted by His Majesty to the second rank palace concubine because of his meritorious service, and now you should call my master 'Concubine Leng'." β
"Xiuzhu! Don't be rude, I and Miss Tuoba are not outsiders, and we have to take care of Miss Tuoba in the palace, since we are my own sisters, why talk about these rules? β
Without waiting for Xiuzhu's words to fall, Leng Qingxiu turned around and reprimanded, then smiled helplessly, took Zhu Jiu's hand and said: "Tuoba girl, after I arrived here, I have no relatives, and there is no sister around me, this time you and I spend life and death together, I only feel close to you, if you don't dislike it, you and I call Sister Tuoba okay?" I was born in March. β
Sister is not wrong, Leng Qingxiu is indeed one year younger than Tuoba Ye.
Zhu Jiu didn't care about Xiuzhu's words, he only smiled at her: "I am also happy that Niangniang can be promoted, this is the blessing of Yan Kingdom." β
She said this sincerely.
The higher Leng Qingxiu's status, the more stable it is, and the better it is for the situation of Yan Kingdom, Xuanyuan Che will not do anything to Yan Country for a while.
Those people of Yan Kingdom still have a chance to gain peace, and they no longer have to worry about when the army of Xuanyuan Kingdom will break in and slaughter them.
Leng Qingxiu thought so, nodded, and said movingly: "I didn't expect that the one who knows me best in the entire palace is Sister Tuoba...... Alas, if the female general is still there...... Presumably, Sister Tuoba and her can also solve the misunderstanding. β
Seeing her mention her past self, her eyes also fell on her with emotion as if inadvertently, Zhu Jiu's face was as usual, and he smiled indifferently: "The past is like smoke, it was I who provoked Zhu Jiu without knowing the sky, and now I deserve to be lame and lose my muscles." β
Leng Qingxiu paused, chatted with her for a while, and really just came to visit her, and then sent a little eunuch up: "By the way, Sister Tuoba, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne now, there is a great drought in the northwest, a big flood in the southeast, and there is a famine that is difficult to deal with, and you are very busy, I am afraid that I will not have time to separate you, so I will bring a diligent person to take care of you, what do you think?" β
Zhu Jiu's gaze fell on the eunuch who had used the disguise technique with herβthe reason why he could tell at a glance that he had used the disguise technique was because the expression on his face was too stiff when his eyelids were pulled.
And in the entire Zhu family, the third brother Zhu Qin is the most undisguised.
Seeing that Zhu Jiu thanked Leng Qingxiu with his usual face, Zhu Mo, who came with Leng Qingxiu, was suddenly a little suspicious: It's strange, this person who behaves and behaves very similarly to Zhu Jiu, why is he still indifferent when he sees Zhu Qin?
Thinking about it, his eyes flashed slightly, and he decided to step forward to explain for Leng Qingxiu, and smiled flatteringly at Zhu Jiu: "Don't worry, Miss Tuoba, this is my brother Xiaoqinzi, although people look at Mu Ne, but they are the most honest and diligent, you will know when you use it, and it will never cause you trouble!" β
Kotoko ......
Zhu Jiu sighed in his heart: This Zhu Mo was really too anxious, and he had warned him that when the time came, he would tell him about her whereabouts, but he didn't expect that he couldn't wait for a moment, I'm afraid that the person he was busy picking up before was Zhu Qin, right?
Now that the person has arrived in front of her, she categorically did not accept the gift, and responded with a smile: "Thank you Concubine Leng." β
"Then my sister has a good rest, and my sister will come to see you another day."
Leng Qingxiu put down some pastries and supplements and left the Changle Palace, and instructed her: "I heard that my sister's eye is injured, so I should rest early these days, so as not to fall into any diseases." β
In the face of her sincere instructions, Zhu Jiu was also very appreciative: "If you have to worry about Lao Niangniang, the slave will know." β
