On the way to Changle Palace, Xia Jingyun suddenly said, "Grandpa Gao, can I go to the thatched house?" ”

Gao Gonggong smiled and said, "Where is this what Mr. Xia said, please follow the old slave's side." ”

The thatched house in the palace is cleaned every day, the smell is not heavy, Xia Jingyun closed the door, and stood alone in the thatched house, but did not go to the toilet, but stroked his chest with palpitations.

Dangerous, so dangerous!

Almost on the road!

Sure enough, it is like a tiger with you, it's too ruthless!

From the moment he entered the imperial study, Emperor Chongning was setting up a set for him.

It's melancholy, it's the water tune song head, and it's his article, and the main thing is the atmosphere of a [I'm really rare this kid].

Ninety-five! Once a day! has become your fan brother, who is not confused?

What's more, Xia Jingyun is still a young man, he is the first age in the world, and he feels that everyone's worship of himself is taken for granted, Lao Tzu should be so powerful and so awesome.

Then, when the emperor came, his attitude was so kind and kind that he even threw out such words as his own family.

This is called the unity of knowledge and action, seeing this appearance, how many people can hold back and not expand?

Then Emperor Chongning began to dig out his heart, and put last night's events on the table, which means that you are really good, and I will talk to you about in-depth news.

In the end, when the whole person is intoxicated with a set of combination punches, the question of the real murder is thrown out coldly.

The British public gave up three positions to come out, how about the two of us sit on the ground and share the spoils? Which one do you like?

If you have lost your consciousness under Emperor Chongning's ecstasy soup at this time, and you can say the thoughts in your heart along the way, it's over!

It's not a question of which one to choose, it's a question of not being able to choose at all!

What kind of identity do you have, and dare to be involved in such a big thing openly?

Don't have any points in your heart? With this kind of mind, I don't know how to die even if I die in the future!

You're not even a fucking official now, so you dare to think about this, and you'll have to wait until you really become an official in the future?

I'm afraid you don't dare to divide this country!

In any way, in this way, it is impossible for Emperor Chongning to use him with confidence!

It can even be said that once Xia Jingyun does not deal with it properly, his future in the official face in this life may end here!

Even if you turn around, even if you get into the spring festival, you may be in the circle of middle and lower-level officials for the rest of your life, and finally end up with a reputation that you don't meet.

But fortunately, his body contains a soul that is not an ignorant teenager, and at the same time has an extremely deep understanding and vigilance of imperial power.

After seeing the deliberate arrangement of the imperial study, especially after seeing the folded book, he was not complacent and proud, but full of vigilance, and finally kept the clarity in his heart and successfully coped with the past.

As for whether it will make the emperor jealous of what he wants to do, there is no way to do it, the lesser of two evils.

This kind of psychological speculation is much better than seeing it as a definite mistake.

After calming down, Xia Jingyun released it slightly, washed his hands, walked out, and went to Changle Palace.

This kind of concubine dormitory, usually except for the closest relatives who have the right to visit, the imperial doctor can occasionally enter, and the rest of the men cannot enter at all, Xia Jingyun relied on the name of his righteous brother to wipe the edge, and got the permission of Emperor Chongning, so he could come in.

Along the way, there were palace maids who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and stopped far away, looking at this rare sturdy man in the harem, and whispering.

That look is not appropriate to say that it wants to be eaten alive, but the idea of merging into one cannot be hidden.

Xia Jingyun didn't squint, he was serious, and came all the way to Changle Palace.

Compared with other places, the palace maids of Changle Palace are a little more pure curiosity, and their eyes are not so unabashedly presumptuous.

Listening to Niangniang and Director Feng talk about Xia Gongzi every day, this time I finally saw him alive.

"Young Master Xia, this is Changle Palace."

"Thank you Grandpa Gao for sending me all the way."

"This is a blessing for the old slave. The old slave will retire, so I won't disturb you and Concubine De to catch up. ”

"Father-in-law Gao walks slowly."

When Grandpa Gao left, a palace dress came slowly to the palace gate and looked at him with a smile.

That smile spanned thousands of miles from Surabaya Prefecture to Zhongjing City, and spanned the days and nights from Mid-Autumn Festival to deep winter, just like in the past.

"It's cold enough, smile warmly."

Xia Jingyun stepped forward and looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

Feng Xiuyun, who had a cold smile and was born bright and moving, stretched out her hand, wanting to caress his cheek, but finally reacted, this was in the palace, so she just gently tidied up his clothes, "Niangniang is waiting for you, come in." ”

Xia Jingyun nodded and entered with Feng Xiuyun.

Yu Guang looked at the placket of her chest that was bulging, Xia Jingyun nodded with satisfaction, "It's good, it's not thin, the child won't be hungry." ”

Feng Xiuyun instantly remembered the teasing words of this disciple when he left, and said in a low voice: "This is in the palace, you be honest!" ”

Xia Jingyun is not such an obscene person, he actually didn't think much nonsense in his heart, he just wanted to use a joke he once made to bring the distance between the two sides back to a familiar scale, adding a little relaxation to this long-lost reunion.

After taking a few steps, as soon as he looked up, his footsteps quietly stopped.

At the entrance of the inner hall, Concubine De has a white palace skirt, simple and elegant as a fairy, noble and elegant temperament, and because of the perfect body curve, it is inevitable to bring a bit of charm.

Tianxiangguo's face, with a gentle smile, looked at him, "Brother, you are here." ”

Xia Jingyun's heart was pure, and he stepped forward again and saluted respectfully, "Sister." ”

"No need to be polite, come, let's go in and talk."

As he spoke, his soft and boneless hand grabbed Xia Jingyun and led him into the hall.

He could see that his sister was really happy.

So, he's happy too.

"Master is very good, before I left, I stayed with them in Jiang'an for a few days. Now that my family is with me, Master's face has a lot more smiles. ”

"Especially my cousin, don't mention it, being spoiled by the master is simply lawless, I can't even say too much, and if I talk too much, I will be scolded by the master."

Feng Xiuyun silently waved away all the palace maids and guards, Xia Jingyun chatted about family matters, Concubine De supported her delicate chin with her hand, smiled, listened softly with her eyes, interjected from time to time, and asked some questions that she was interested in.

After finishing talking about home, Xia Jingyun talked about Surabaya Prefecture again.

"The situation in the state is not bad, with Lu Fengyuan being killed by the Jade Tiger Prince, those gentry in Surabaya Prefecture have been taken advantage of and coaxed, Li Zhoumu's work in Surabaya Prefecture is advancing very well, and the things that should be killed, replaced, collected, and released have been done very well."

"When I left Surabaya Prefecture, there were many fewer displaced people and bandits along the way, although the time was still short, and it was not extinct, but it would not be long before Surabaya Prefecture could become a big granary that was easy to defend and difficult to attack."

He smiled, "Congratulations to Sister, holding a stable big rear in your hand." ”

Although the usage of some words and sentences in Xia Jingyun's words was a little novel, Concubine De still understood it effortlessly, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I saved my relatives before, if it weren't for you, where would I be in this situation now." ”

Xia Jingyun said modestly: "That's also because my sister can listen to and make decisions wisely, and if she changes the concubine, I'm afraid that there are many talents who can't help her, and it's okay if she doesn't help." ”

Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled, and the charm in her smile made Xia Jingyun feel in a trance, "You haven't even seen Concubine Shu, how can you say that." It's not good to speak ill of people behind your back, so don't do that in the future. ”

Then she added, "Turn around and say it to your face." ”

Xia Jingyun, who was still a little depressed, gave a thumbs up suddenly, "It's worthy of my sister." ”

"Hey!" Concubine De sighed lightly, "But then again, far water can't quench your thirst." In the end, Surabaya Prefecture is too far away, and now in the outer court, my sister and my strength are still too weak, otherwise you would not have suffered so much humiliation in such a thing last night. ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "It's okay." Didn't I come out well, and I calculated the Lu family's plate. ”

Saying that, he told Concubine De about his thoughts last night and some of his next thoughts.

Concubine De listened quietly, nodded from time to time, and then said, "Sister, I believe that you won't harm me, and I believe that you can do it well." With you, inside and outside the palace, we are finally able to form a joint force, don't think about carrying any problems in the future, tell my sister, although my sister lives in the palace, she also has a way to help you, don't put such a heavy burden on your shoulders, you know? ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, smiling brightly, "Okay." ”

At this time, Feng Xiuyun reminded on the side: "Niangniang, do you want to give Mr. Gongsun an order and let him cooperate?"

Xia Jingyun shook his head directly and said: "No need, Mr. Gongsun has been following my sister for so many years, and as soon as I came, I asked my sister to make him give up power, which is somewhat chilling." ”

He smiled confidently, "Don't worry, if you can't even solve this little thing, what confidence do I have to say with a shy face to help my sister deal with outside matters." ”

Concubine De looked at Xia Jingyun and said seriously: "Brother, just like you said, Gongsun Jing has been with me for some years, and there is no merit and hard work, if there is really something wrong, leave him alive and send him rich and old-age care." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and nodded, "Sister, don't worry, this is natural." ”

"I bought you a house in the west of the city, it has been done, you can live by yourself and feel more comfortable, of course, it is no problem to live in Jiang'an Hou Mansion if you are willing to live. In two days, Xiuyun will also go out of the palace to help you take care of everything, and you can also get rid of some trivial things and take good care of yourself by the way. ”

Feng Xiuyun blushed slightly, and Concubine De continued: "You can handle all the things in the outer court, you don't have to ask me, I can completely trust you." ”

"Thank you, Auntie, for your trust."

Concubine De held his hand, and there was no obvious and contrived choking and moving, only the sincerity that Xia Jingyun could clearly understand, "Brother, you don't need to say these words to me. On the way back to Beijing, I was thinking, it seems that you borrowed my name and support to emerge, but in fact, with your talent, where can't you shine? ”

"There are many forces in the DPRK and China, no matter which one you go to, you can become a guest, but you resolutely chose to go with me in the face of endless dangers and take the most difficult road."

"You help me selflessly, and all I can give you is this complete trust. It's a pity that Sister's power in the outer court is too weak, and I have worked hard for you, so you have to go to the sword like last night. In the future, we can slow down, but my sister also hopes that you can put safety first, okay? ”

Xia Jingyun was gently held by Concubine De's hand, and the excellent touch of ice skin was transmitted from her fingertips to her heart, but in her mind, there was almost no thought, only deep emotion.

He said seriously: "Sister, in fact, our current power is not very weak. ”

Concubine De let go of her hand, stood up, and paced slowly, "You have to see who you compare with, if you are ordinary self-preservation, it is naturally okay, but if you work hard in that direction, compared with the rest of the opponents, it is too far behind." ”

"At present, the highest status is today's Hubu Shangshu Wei Yuanzhi and Surabaya Prefecture Mu Li Tianfeng, and the rest are mostly fourth- or fifth-grade officials, and most of them are not important positions.

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "If you want to say weak, this is actually not the real key. I think my sister lacks a complete intelligence network to collect information from all sides, and many times, opportunities and flaws are hidden in the vast amount of intelligence information. If your eyes are black, others can always anticipate the enemy first, and no matter how many of us have, we may not be able to defeat them. ”

He smiled, "For example, does my sister know that I went to Yunmengzhou before?" ”

Concubine De's eyes widened slightly, and then she sighed more and more, "I only learned about this from the letter you wrote about leaving Surabaya Prefecture, but I don't know anything about your situation in Yunmengzhou, what you said is right." ”

"Sister, don't be busy being sad, I have something to gain in Yunmengzhou."

"Harvest?" Concubine De thought about the situation in Yunmengzhou in her mind, and said slowly: "Yunmengzhou is now the state pastor Duan Risheng and Changshi Bai Chonghua are two big shots, and at the same time, Yunmengzhou is the hometown of Su Lao Xianggong, and the Yunmeng Su family is famous, and it is a wealthy family in the world. Su Lao Xianggong has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, even if a few years have passed, the influence still exists. ”

She looked at Xia Jingyun with a hint of expectation in her eyes, "Are you connected with those two local officials, or are you related to an important person in the Su family?" ”

Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "Bai Yunbian, the son of Bai Changshi of Yunmeng Prefecture, and I hit it off at first sight, we went to Beijing together, and now he also lives in Jiang'an Hou's Mansion. ”

It turned out to be this, Concubine De was a little disappointed in her heart, and bowed slightly, "That's not bad, through this Bai Gongzi, we can get on the line with that Bai Changshi, and if he enters the court in the future, it will be a big help." ”

Xia Jingyun then said: "Then, I also have a connection with the Su family. ”

Concubine De raised her eyebrows, "Su family? Which big man of the Su family did you hook up with? ”

"Nope."

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "I took down the entire Su family." ”

The gentle smile on Concubine De's face froze for the first time.

And also
