Chapter 263: In the Xiu King's Mansion
Hearing that Zhang Shoufu asked to see him, Emperor Xingyuan was a little unhappy.
He hadn't finished talking to Mu'er yet.
However, Emperor Xingyuan was still very concerned about state affairs, and after a little hesitation, he signaled the inner attendant to send Xin Yu out of the palace.
When Xin Yu walked out, he met Zhang Shousuke who was waiting there.
This was the first time she had seen the number one person in the cabinet, and at first glance, she could see that Zhang Xu, who was studying in Guozijian, looked like he followed his grandfather.
Xin Yu Chong Zhang's first assistant bowed.
"It'sβ"
"This is a hard wait." The attendant who led the way spoke.
"It turns out that Xin Zhizhao is so young." Zhang Shoufu's gaze fell on Xin Yu's face, and his tone was gentle.
The two of them only had such a little time to say hello before they staggered, and Xin Yu walked out of the palace gate and stopped: "I'll go back to the yamen by myself, and I won't trouble my father-in-law." β
"Wait for the edict to go slowly."
Xin Yu slowly returned to the Hanlin Temple along the side of the imperial road.
As soon as I walked into the waiting hall, it was different from being ignored in the past, and several lines of sight brushed over.
Xin Yu paused, casting a puzzled gaze.
A few people quickly retracted their gaze and went about their business.
Xin Yu glanced at the painting more.
It's weird.
In the picture she saw, two people chasing each other knocked over a stall, and the stall owner was in a hurry to chase after him, his feet slipped and fell, and his pen and ink paint splashed on the ground.
She has seen too much of this kind of little bad luck, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her heart is like water when she sees this kind of picture, but the picture in front of her made her dazed for a moment.
Why isn't the stall owner in the picture painting a painting?
Based on the rules summarized by the countless pictures she has seen since she was a child, the unlucky person in the picture must be the person in front of her.
The person in front of him, Xin Yu's heart moved, and he reacted.
Like her, the painting is changing.
Do you still need to be easy to look at?
When Xin Yu looked at the painting and waited for Zhao to think, several people secretly exchanged glances.
Could it be that Xin Zhizhao overheard the painting and Zhao commented on his appearance?
No, they saw with their own eyes that Xin Zhizhao went with the eunuchs.
Weird.
The divination edict fiddled with the copper coin, and when he was about to go down to the palace, he suddenly spoke: "Painting the edict, you have been covered by dark clouds recently, and I am afraid that you will be unlucky." β
The painting was obviously unbelievable: "It's hard to go down, don't say such a disappointing thing." β
"Why don't you believe it-" The divination is not annoyed, and he uses his eyes to seek support from the chess edict and the word edict.
Qi Zhi Zhao silently looked away, and the word "hehe" sounded.
But Xin Yu's heart made waves.
This diviner may have real skills.
For the reminder of divination to be edicted, several people regarded it as a small episode, and as soon as the time for the next office came, they packed up and left without nostalgia.
On the contrary, a few edicts in the east hall hesitated to talk to Xin Yu, but Xin Yu pretended not to see it, and also walked quickly.
The people from King Xiu's Mansion were waiting outside, and as soon as they saw Xin Yu coming out, they hurried up to meet him, and saluted respectfully: "Xin waits for the edict, His Royal Highness King Xiu ordered the little one to pick you up." β
"There is labor."
Duan Shaoqing deliberately walked a while in advance to squat, and when the Xin Zhizhao in people's mouths appeared, he rubbed his eyes in shock.
Is this Xin Zhizhao really Kou Qingqing in disguise?
This, this is completely invisible!
Not only about the looks, but also the demeanor and walking posture, this is a young man!
Duan Shaoqing watched Xin Yu walk towards the carriage parked not far away, and was inexplicably shocked.
This can't be Kou Qingqing-
Duan Shaoqing thought so, he couldn't convince the young man he had just seen that he was the niece who had lived in Shaoqing's Mansion for four or five years, but when this thought flashed, he suddenly had a stirring and had another thought: Is Kou Qingqing, who lives in Shaoqing's Mansion, really Kou Qingqing?
At this thought, his scalp instantly tingled, and trembling crawled all over his spine.
Bang bang, Duan Shaoqing heard his rapid heartbeat.
It's a bizarre and ridiculous idea, but it lingers for the rest of my life.
"Duan Shaoqing, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly." Seeing Duan Shaoqing's pale face, one person asked out loud.
Duan Shaoqing suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly covered up: "Xu is suffering from heat stroke, and he is a little nauseous." The ...... just now Is it just a hard waiting? β
He doesn't give up on confirming with others.
"yes."
Duan Shaoqing's face turned even paler.
"Duan Shaoqing, you look a little serious."
"It's a bit seriousβ" Duan Shaoqing took a deep breath, his voice weak, "I'm sorry, I'll go first." β
After Xin Yu got into the carriage of Xiu Wangfu, he lifted the corner of the curtain and looked back.
The officials who were gradually thrown behind by the carriage had not dispersed, and her eyes fell on Duan Shaoqing.
It seems that Duan Shaoqing already knows the situation of Wanqingju.
I can't wait to come over today, and when I see her now, I may start to suspect that she is not Kou Qingqing.
Xin Yu decided to appear as Xin Gongzi, and he thought about this, at least eighty percent of Duan Shaoqing, who was forced to get on the thief ship, didn't dare to say anything.
The worst result is that Duan Shaoqing went to inform, and everyone in the world knew that Miss Kou had already been killed by her grandfather's family, and she was nothing more than restoring her true identity as a daughter and giving up the last possible path of freedom left for herself.
The splendid curtain was lowered, Xin Yu took out the note and tore it to shreds little by little, then lifted the brocade curtain and threw it into the summer breeze.
The Xiu Wang's Mansion was soon there, and dinner was set up in the garden water pavilion.
It is said that it is a tea invitation, and drinks are indispensable. King Xiu personally poured the wine and toasted Xin Yu: "This cup of respect for the edict, after these twists and turns, it is finally bitter and sweet." β
Xin Yu stared at the wine in the cup, laughing at herself and sneering bitterly: "My mother raised me and taught me, but I was harmed by others before I could fulfill my filial piety, I-"
She didn't say any more, and drank it down.
"Wait for the edict to mourn." King Xiu hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Queen Mother...... What is it like outside the palace? β
As soon as these words came out, Kong Rui's hand holding the wine glass was also paused.
Xin Yu looked at King Shangxiu's eyes.
There was a faint curiosity in those eyes.
Xin Yu was suspicious and scrutinizing King Xiu in his heart, but he didn't show any resistance to the friendly intentions he released.
"Mother is outside the palace...... Very comfortable. Xin Yu pursed her lips, "The valley is full of mothers, everyone gets along happily, life goes well, I thought it would always be like this-"
A hand landed on the back of her hand, and Xin Yu paused.
"Xin waits for the edict, it will be fine in the future." Xiuwang patted the back of Xin Yu's hand and comforted him warmly.
Xinyu's gaze swept over the hand that held hers.
She used to walk outside as a man, and she didn't show anything unusual about the occasional physical contact with the opposite sex. And at this moment, I can't help but wonder if King Xiu is unintentional or intentional.
Fortunately, King Xiu is pampered, and his hands are white and slender, which is not so exaggerated compared to her hands.
Xin Yu calmly withdrew his hand and arched: "Thank you for your concern." β
King Xiu smiled: "Come, drink." It is said that drinking to relieve worries, Xiao Wang accompanied Xin Zhizhao and his cousin to get drunk today. β
After two glasses, Xin Yu waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I can't drink ......"
Before King Xiu could be persuaded again, he saw the young man with a slightly red face tilting his head and lying on the table.
