For several days, the candles in the imperial study were lit up until the middle of the night.

Several times, Gu Qingyue couldn't support it, lay on the table, and fell asleep.

In the morning of this day, the household department sorted out all the accounts and handed them over to Gu Qingyue.

In the past, looking at his own small money, Gu Qingyue was dizzy, not to mention that he had to look at such a huge national finance today.

Fortunately, the household department sent a small official surnamed Chen to tell Gu Qingyue about the account.

At this moment, it was already dark, and Chen Xiaoyan was still by Gu Qingyue's side.

"This is the tax collected by the household department this year, which is divided into 12 large warehouses, and there are five small warehouses in each large warehouse, for a total of 60 warehouses."

"These sixty barns are for storing grain, silk, silver, and so on, and if there is a need, they are to take from these sixty barns according to their quantity."

"It's ......"

Chen Xiaoyan was about to speak, but saw Gu Qingyue's head suddenly slip from the palm of his hand.

Bang Dang--

The top of the head slammed on the table.

Gu Qingyue grinned in pain, covered her forehead with the palm of her right hand, and rubbed it back and forth.

She tightened her eyebrows, stopped her head in pain, and looked at Chen Xiaoyan: "You repeat what you just said." ”

Chen Xiaoyan looked helpless.

He raised his eyelids, looked outside the imperial study, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's either look at it another day." ”

Gu Qingyue took a deep breath, put down her right hand, put her hands on the edge of the table, and slowly straightened her body.

She moved her neck from side to side, and she could hear her neck rattling.

Chen Xiaoyan hurriedly said: "Today, the emperor has read more than a dozen accounts, even if he is as familiar as our Shangshu, he only looks at this number every day." It was the first time for the emperor to look at the account books of the household department, and it was inevitable that he would be a little dizzy. It's better to rest first, and it's not too late to watch tomorrow. ”

Gu Qingyue squinted at Chen Xiaoyi: "I asked the household department to sort out these things within a few days, in order to sort out the finances of the imperial court as soon as possible." Now that the household department has handed over the account books according to the time, I want to be lazy? Where is there such a truth? ”

After speaking, Gu Qingyue rubbed her hands on her face twice, instructed Hui'er to light two more candles, and began to look at the account book in front of her again.

"Your Majesty." Hui'er walked into the study with the candle and carefully replaced the candle in the candlestick, and then came to Gu Qingyue's side, "Concubine Fu is here, and she has been waiting outside for a while." ”

Fukang has been promoted to a noble concubine for a few days, although the canonization ceremony has not been held for the time being, but the palace has changed its name to call him a noble concubine.

Gu Qingyue didn't raise her head, still looking at the account book in her hand: "Tell him that I'm still busy and don't have time to see him, let him go back." ”

Hui'er glanced at Chen Xiaoyan with some embarrassment, leaned down, and leaned into Gu Qingyue's ear: "The regent is also waiting outside." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingyue Huo Ran looked away and looked at Hui'er in surprise: "When did he come?" ”

"I came here about half an hour ago, and I knew that the emperor was looking at the account book, so I have been waiting outside to prevent the slaves and maids from coming in and disturbing you."

Gu Qingyue's eyebrows locked slightly, and she looked out the window.

Indeed, I saw two figures standing in the courtyard.

These two are clearly friends who grew up together, but at the moment they are like two strangers.

They stood outside the house with their backs to each other, and no one cared about the other.

"What is he here for?" Gu Qingyue muttered in a low voice.

Hui'er put one hand in front of her lips and whispered in a voice that only she and Gu Qingyue could hear: "The slave maid listens to the meaning of the regent, it seems that it is related to Miss Gillian." ”

Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and a trace of gloom flashed under her eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Hui'er's voice was lower, "Do you want to see the prince?" The prince has been coming for a few days, and you haven't seen him. ”

Gu Qingyue leaned back and leaned back in her chair.

She picked up the ledger on the table and threw it away: "That's it, in that case, let's get here here today." ”

Gu Qingyue glanced at Chen Xiaoyan: "You go back first." ”

The latter said yes and left in a hurry.

Hui'er couldn't hide her joy: "The slave maid is going to invite the prince in." ”

"Wait."

Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows indifferently and looked at Hui'er: "Who said that you want to see him, go and invite Concubine Fu to come in." ”

Hui'er looked surprised: "Your Majesty? You...... Don't you see the prince again? ”

Gu Qingyue turned her eyes sideways and looked out the window.

The silhouette in the moonlight is so familiar.

It was so familiar that Gu Qingyue couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

A strange voice suddenly appeared in my heart: No! Between you are only kings and ministers.

Before Gu Qingyue's hand was raised, it fell down stiffly.

She lowered her eyelids, and her right hand, which had been on the table, was under the table little by little.

Gu Qingyue sighed without a trace, and when she looked up at Hui'er again, the loss in her eyes had been completely hidden.

"Go and ask Fukang to come in." Gu Qingyue added, "Tell the regent that no matter what, I will talk about it tomorrow morning." As a courtier, it is not appropriate for him to enter the palace at night, and the regent will not be allowed to enter the palace late at night in the future. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Hui'er wanted to say something, but Gu Qingyue had already lowered her head, pretending to clean up the things on the table, and didn't pay attention to Hui'er.

Seeing this, Hui'er had no choice but to agree and walk quickly outside the hall.

Not long after, Gu Qingyue heard Hui'er's reluctant voice from outside the hall: "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor invites you in." ”

Fukang bowed to Hui'er in return, turned his eyes sideways, and looked at Lu Huaijin with interest: "It seems that the prince is going to wait here a little longer." ”

Lu Huaijin's face was unwavering, he didn't look at Fukang, and looked at the study indifferently.

Hui'er's eyes were narrow, she stepped forward cautiously, and curtsied to Lu Huaijin: "Lord, the emperor means to ask you to go back first." The emperor said, whatever you want to say, please say it tomorrow morning. ”

Lu Huaijin's calm eyes finally jumped a few times, and the hands behind his back were tightly squeezed together, and his fingertips sank into his palms, and he couldn't feel the slightest pain.

Lu Huaijin half-raised the corners of his eyebrows and looked sideways at Hui'er: "Have you ever told the emperor that what I want to talk about Gillian is?" ”

Hui'er nodded uneasily: "Yes, the emperor said, let you talk about it tomorrow morning." He also specially told the regent that after all, he was a foreign minister, and it was really inappropriate to enter the palace like this every day, so he asked the regent not to enter the palace at night in the future. ”

Hui'er said very tactfully, and always looked at Lu Huaijin carefully with her afterglow when she spoke.

At this time, even she didn't quite understand what the emperor thought.

Could it be that the emperor really wants to pamper Concubine Fu alone?

Don't you plan to see the prince again in the future?

Lu Huaijin's sword eyebrows tightened, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

Fukang saw it in his eyes and sneered coldly: "The emperor is not a child who was ignorant of the world when he was a child, you still want to use the previous tricks to manipulate the emperor, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so." ”
