The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

"How about we switch?"

"If I could have changed it, I would have done it long ago. This position was obtained by my grandfather with his life. Even if I am reluctant, I have to bite the bullet and take up the position."

"In exchange for your life? So bloody and violent? Are you officials at risk of losing your life?"

Lord Qiu looked solemn and said, "This is an accident. My grandfather was originally a country bumpkin who had the honor of saving the late emperor when he was young, and he is the father of the current incompetent emperor."

"..."

It seems that everyone knows that I am a coward.

"The late emperor was kindhearted and grateful to Grandpa. Grandpa was too old to be an official, so he granted Father a job in the Inspection Office, where he only needed to manage the street order."

"It's a hereditary system, passed down from generation to generation. If I had a child, he would also be destined to do this job. It's too tragic."

"Is this miserable?"

Mr. Qiu sighed, "This job seems easy, but in fact..."

"Ok?"

Is there something unspeakable about this good job?

“Not tired at all.”

"..."

He knows how to make people angry!

Considering that his grandfather was also the indirect savior of the original owner, he would not be envious or jealous.

"Forget it, don't talk like that next time, you'll get beaten up easily."

"Beat him violently? Oh, what a mistake. I should have gone up and beat the adulterer just now. Thank you for reminding me." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go find the adulterer.

"Eh? I didn't say that." Shen Jingli held down the excited Lord Qiu.

"Sir, why do you bother? Although your emotional journey is not smooth, don't hang yourself on a tree. The next one will be better. Don't commit a crime."

"Who said that my love life is not smooth?"

"Is it...going well?"

"It was smooth sailing. There was no one along the way. Isn't that smooth enough? Finally one came, but he ran away again. Hmm..."

Lord Qiu started crying loudly again.

"I have no achievements in the officialdom, and no beautiful women in the love field... My life... is too miserable..."

Lord Qiu leaned against the tree and cried breathlessly, and occasionally hit the innocent tree.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. You are still an official after all. Is it appropriate for you to cry like this? Is it reasonable?"

Lord Qiu was still crying and hadn't come out of his sad mood.

"At most... I'll introduce you to someone suitable later."

Shen Jingli comforted him casually, but Lord Qiu took it seriously and immediately regained his composure, his eyes shining, "When can we meet?"

"Aren't you recovering a little too quickly?"

She was on the verge of death in the last second, and full of energy in the next. Shen Jingli seriously suspected that Lord Qiu treated Lin Xinxin just like this.

"Well...Xinxin is naturally different in my heart, but I don't need to build a chastity arch."

"Hehe...Okay."

Lord Qiu pulled Shen Jingli away and walked towards the wonton stall. "Let's eat and talk at the same time. How old is the girl you just mentioned? What does she look like? She can't be much worse than Xinxin."

"Where is the girl's home? Would you like to visit her in advance as a courtesy?"

"I like slender and gentle women."

"It's better to be white."

……

"ah?…"

Before Shen Jingli could come to his senses, Lord Qiu pulled him to the wonton stand and sat him down. "Waiter, give me a bowl of wontons with more meat."

"Why don't you ask me if I've eaten?"

"Boss, two servings..."

"Hehe, thank you, Master Qiu."

Considering that he has a partner, it’s okay to treat him to a bowl of wontons.

"You're welcome. Just remember to get the job done."

"what's up?"

"Introducing someone, are you playing with instant amnesia?"

"Hehe...you are too anxious. I have to go back and find a suitable girl first, and then I can make an appointment with her later."

"That's right, I'll go to the tailor shop tomorrow to get some new clothes and shoes, and try to look my best when I meet her."

She? Help, where can I find her to deal with this Lord Qiu?

Also, is he sure he loves Lin Xinxin to death? Why does it feel like Mr. Qiu's feelings are so frivolous?

"Lin Xinxin is your childhood sweetheart?"

"No, no, she originally came to the capital to seek refuge with her relatives, but her money was stolen and she had to sleep on the street. I saw that she was ragged and hungry and couldn't bear to leave her alone, so I gave her a few taels of silver."

"Who would have thought that she would follow me all the time and I couldn't get rid of her."

"I had no choice but to arrange a cleaning job for her in the Inspection Office. After a few visits, they fell in love with each other."

"That night, Xinxin came to see me..." Lord Qiu couldn't help blushing when he said this.

"And then?" the two asked in unison, very curious about what would happen next.

"Xiaoer, what are you doing!"

"Ah? Oh! Your wontons are ready,... enjoy your meal." The waiter put the wontons down and left reluctantly.

"That night, Xinxin gave me a pair of shoes." Lord Qiu blushed and looked shy.

"That's it?"

Mr. Qiu nodded, "I thought we had confirmed our relationship, but who knew that she would have a tryst with another man today."

Shen Jingli seriously suspected that Lord Qiu had misunderstood.

"Sir, it's just a pair of shoes. Are you overthinking it?"

"There are mandarin ducks embroidered on those shoes. How could I have misunderstood?"

"Is that so? That does make me think a lot."

In ancient times, giving a girl a pair of shoes embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern as a gift was considered a direct expression of love.

"By the way, why are you, a man, wearing shoes with a mandarin duck pattern?"

Lord Qiu coughed falsely, "The girl is so kind, I can't refuse her. I can't bear to wear those shoes."

"Forget it, forget it. If Xinxin admits her mistake to me tonight, I will pretend that I don't know about her affair with that man."

"Can you tolerate this?"

"What else can I do? The girl has changed her mind, so I should give her a chance."

Shen Jingli gave a thumbs up: "What a man!"

"Young master, it took me a long time to find you. Lord Qiu is here too." Song Zhu trotted over and poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

"Yeah." Lord Qiu nodded and buried his head in eating wontons.

Shen Jingli: "I'm just out for a walk, is the curtain ready?"

"Okay." Song Zhu saw that it was getting late, so he jogged back. He felt thirsty and could only drink a lot of water.

"Brother, long time no see." Ding Yuanji walked up to Shen Jingli with admiring eyes.

"Hey, Xiaojuzi, long time no see, why are you here?"

"I just ran into my brother's entourage on the street. Thinking of your help to us, I wanted to come and thank you."

"Have you eaten yet? We had wontons."

Ding Yuanji stared at the wontons and drooled. "I've...eaten it."

"Then have another bowl as a midnight snack."

Ding Yuanji sat down and started to eat voraciously. Song Zhu asked curiously, "How many hundreds of years have you not eaten a full meal?"

Ding Yuanji put down his chopsticks, blushed and said nothing.

"This is how you eat wontons to enjoy it, isn't it, Master Qiu?"

Lord Qiu, who was suddenly called, looked up abruptly, "Ah?"

"It's not a big deal. Just say yes and it's fine."

"Yes. Right."

"Please continue eating, my Lord."

"it is good."
