Chapter 354: Emotional Breakdown
The eunuch walked to the door of the dining room with a smile on his face, then glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, slowly unfolded the holy decree, and read:
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, Xuanyan, the palace maid of Mingxuan Pavilion, is clever and skillful, and she is specially named a female official of Shangshi, and she is ordered to take office immediately......"
Xuan Yan was startled, and his heart was full of doubts.
Clever and clever, is this really talking about me?
I heard the palace maids of the Mingxuan Pavilion say that the female official of Shangshi is the position responsible for serving the emperor's meals.
However, I really don't know anything about the emperor's meal, so how can I be this female official?
After the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, he saw that Xuanyan had been in a daze, and he did not accept the decree for a long time, so he reminded in a low voice:
"Xuanyan girl, don't you want to get the order and thank you?"
"The slave and maid have thanked the emperor!"
Xuanyan came back to his senses and hurriedly received the order to thank him.
"Okay, Miss Xuanyan, you can go back to the palace with me now, there is a certain process for taking office, and when those processes are completed, you will be the real Shangshi female official." ”
The eunuch looked at the tall Xuanyan and said with a smile.
"Well, excuse me. ”
Xuanyan nodded and said.
Subsequently, Xuanyan followed the eunuch out of Huang Qi'an's mansion.
When Huang Qi'an saw this scene, he was directly dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe that everything that had just happened was true.
No.
Xuanyan only entered the Mingxuan Pavilion not long ago, and the emperor should not have seen her, so why would he make her a female official?
If an ordinary palace maid wants to become a female official of Shangshi, she needs to go through a series of assessments, and only after passing the assessment can she become a female official of Shangshi.
As the best soothsayer in the Qin Dynasty, I usually participate in such occasions.
And this Xuanyan, why was she promoted to a female official of Shangshi without passing the assessment?
That's not how it shouldn't be!
Why is this happening?!
Why?!
Huang Qi'an thought about it, and his heart suddenly became very uncomfortable.
The red boy turned his head to look at Huang Qi'an, whose eyes were blank and his face was pale, and pretended to be concerned:
"Master Huang, weren't you okay at that moment, why did your face become so ugly now?"
"Hmph, don't worry about it!"
Huang Qi'an rolled his eyes and angrily scolded the red boy.
After what happened just now, where is Huang Qi'an still in the mood to eat?
As soon as Xuanyan became a female official, how could I sue Shen Guoshi for blasphemy?
This is obviously what the emperor meant, and if I sue it, it will be a confession!
I'm living a!
In the end, Huang Qi'an flicked his long sleeves and turned his head away.
"I won't eat this meal either!"
Xiaohong threw a bowl in front of everyone, threw down a sentence angrily, and went to chase Huang Qi'an.
All of a sudden, there was only one Red Boy left in the entire dining room.
"You guys are good to go, this chicken leg is mine. ”
Unaffected, the red boy put the plate of chicken legs in front of him, then picked up a large chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it with relish.
When I have good food to accompany me, I'm satisfied.
Haha, this time I taught Huang Qi'an a hard lesson, see if he dares to go against me in the future?
I knew that the emperor was facing me, how could he be facing a person suspected of treason?
Huang Qi'an is really beyond his strength!
Red Boy enjoyed this meal very much.
"You guys clean up here, and the national teacher will take a nap. ”
After eating, the red boy wiped his mouth, explained to a few maids in the dining room, and strode away.
Of course, he didn't go back to the house to take a nap.
The red boy came to the courtyard where Huang Qi'an lived, and saw the two big men guarding Huang Qi'an's house at a glance.
He stepped forward, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by two big men.
"Shen Guoshi, please stay. ”
The two big men stretched out their hands expressionlessly and said.
They knew that the distinguished guest from the mansion was the famous Shen Guoshi of the Qin Dynasty.
However, even so, they still stopped this Shen Guoshi.
Because, this is their duty, and no one can change it.
"The national teacher came to find your master. ”
The red boy put his hands behind his back, looked the two big men up and down a few times, and said lightly.
"Shen Guoshi, my lord is not in the house at this time. ”
The big man replied succinctly and clearly.
"Then where did your master go?"
The red boy asked.
"I don't know. ”
The big man was still expressionless and replied.
Huang Qi'an had just instructed them this morning that if Shen Guoshi came and he was not there, he would directly say that he didn't know, and even if he knew his whereabouts, he couldn't tell Shen Guoshi.
The big man remembered every exhortation of Huang Qi'an deeply in his mind, and naturally said "I don't know"!
The red boy could see that the big man was lying.
Little, trying to lie to me?
It's the beginning of the year, and this Huang Qi'an hasn't left the house at all, where can he go?!
"Hehe, tell me, where is your young lady's room? She used to be your master's personal maid, so she should also live in this courtyard, right?"
Red Boy asked tentatively.
He guessed that Huang Qi'an was in Xiaohong's house.
"This ......"
The two big men looked at each other, and they couldn't speak when asked.
What to do?
The lord won't let me say it......
The expressions of the two big men changed, and their brows furrowed slightly.
That's right, Huang Qi'an is indeed in Xiaohong's house.
Seeing this, the red boy knew that his guess was right.
"If you don't say it, I'll look for it from room to room. ”
The red boy made a gesture to push the door next door.
"Shen Guoshi, wait. ”
The big man suddenly stopped Red Boy's behavior, and then they winked at Red Boy.
The red boy immediately understood, and walked quickly to the next door.
Arriving at the door, the red boy knocked softly.
"Miss, I'll open the door. ”
A soft voice came from inside the room.
Soon, the door opened, and a girl dressed as a maid stood in the doorway, turned back and shouted inside:
"Miss, Shen Guoshi is here. ”
"You let him in. ”
Xiaohong said slowly.
The red boy entered the house, looked around, and didn't see Huang Qi'an.
"Shen Guoshi, you are here, is there anything wrong?"
Xiaohong sat at the table and said as she played with the chopsticks in her hand.
"Little Red Girl, isn't your stepfather here?"
The red boy walked up to Xiaohong's eyes unhurriedly and sat directly across from her.
"Shen Guoshi, you are embarrassed to mention my father-in-law, you can tell me with your conscience, what has he been bullied by you?"
Xiaohong glared at the red boy hatefully and said.
Seeing Xiaohong with this attitude towards herself, the red boy was even more sure that Huang Qi'an was in this room.
"Little Red Girl, when you say this, the national teacher is really wronged! It's not that the national teacher bullied your father-in-law, it's that he himself is not angry! He is not valued by the emperor now, and he still runs to beat my little report, you say, didn't he lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?"
The red boy patted the table and continued bitterly:
"As far as I know, the emperor doesn't like people who make small reports, not to mention, he still sues his own division. Who is the national teacher? The national teacher is now the most important official of the emperor! To put it mildly, your father-in-law is obviously humiliating himself by doing this......
Red Boy didn't mean to stop, and seemed to have to continue.
However, at this moment, Huang Qi'an didn't know where to jump out.
Furious, he shouted at the red boy:
"Shen Qianchen!"
When he heard what Red Boy said, especially when he heard the words "self-inflicted humiliation", his emotions collapsed suddenly.
