I don't want to be born again

Just let it go. " Xie Lang said seriously, "Seeing that other people's condition is getting worse. "

amount……

Chu Qing looked at Xie Lang, then at Concubine De, did these two have any quarrel?

Displeasure flashed across De Fei's eyes, but she lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Xie Lang wrapped around Chu Qing's arm, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I thought of a poem again, can you go and write it?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, and just wanted Concubine De to get up, but was pinched by Xie Lang forcefully, the soft flesh inside his arm was the most sensitive, and he wanted to jump his feet because of the pain.

Chu Qing stared at Xie Lang, it hurts!

Xie Lang pouted, why do you feel sorry for her.

She is my woman!Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry.

She is a bad woman!Xie Lang was straightforward.

The two stared back and forth at each other, of course Chu Qing couldn't hold back Xie Lang, so he turned around and entered the pavilion.

"Concubine De, get up too." Chu Qing turned around and still didn't forget to shout, "If you have nothing to do, go back to the palace and rest."

Concubine De Xie En stood up and watched Chu Qing being pulled by Xie Lang. The two entered the pavilion affectionately, frowning slightly, standing still with their hands twisted in handkerchiefs.

Xie Lang is very abnormal today, could it be that he has noticed something?But how could it be, Concubine De quickly recalled her performance, it shouldn't be.

In other words, this person originally had such an arrogant and domineering appearance, and it was just pretending in the past.

In the pavilion, Xiaozhu led people to spread the paper again, Xie Lang seemed to say something, Chu Qing looked a little embarrassed, but finally started to write.

While he was writing, he turned his head and flirted with Xie Lang softly. Behind the pavilion was the frozen lake, and the light sunlight shone on the two of them, as if they were all glowing.

Concubine De lowered her head and thought for a while, then walked over and asked with a smile: "What is Your Majesty writing?"

Chu Qing thumped in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Xie Lang, thinking that he came after me, so don't stop him.

Xie Lang didn't pay any attention, and just lowered his eyes to tidy up the things on the table. As soon as Chu Qing stopped, he took the brush out of his hand.

Chu Qing waved at Concubine De: "Anhua, come and see, this is a poem written by Qing Shaojun."

Concubine De looked at Xie Lang in surprise, and then at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing's handwriting is good, if he is not the emperor, then he must be a famous calligrapher in this world.But he never wrote anything to the women in the harem, it wasn't that he didn't like to write, and it wasn't that no one asked for his words, but that he didn't want to.

His reluctance was originally nothing, none of the women in the harem had ever obtained the emperor's calligraphy, and they lived in peace.But he wrote Xie Lang, what does this mean?

Concubine De turned her eyes around, she seemed to have written a lot before she got here.Your Majesty, you really like Xie Lang.

Of course, Xie Lang would not let Concubine De's lost look go, he took the pot of coercion and dragged Chu Qing to write in this cold weather regardless, could it be that he was really poetic and flirtatious?Believe in ghosts!

What he was waiting for was Defei's sour and unspeakable appearance!

Of course Xie Lang knew about Chu Qing's faults. In his bones, he looked down on these women in the harem. Even if the queen begged him to write a letter, he would refuse it straightforwardly, let alone the concubine De. He didn't even dare to think about it of.

Xie Lang felt that he had let it go a little bit, but he just felt sorry for Chu Qing, and used him as an envoy without any consideration, so he had better think about how to deal with the aftermath.

Concubine De suppressed the sadness in her heart, twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's writing is naturally excellent."

Chu Qing said with a smile: "If it weren't for Shaojun's wonderful poems, I wouldn't be able to perform well. You see, plums are better when the moon reflects the snow, and plums are brighter when the moon is in the snow. These two sentences are really good!"

Xie Lang said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, stop boasting, I can't help but praise like this."

Chu Qing shook his head: "Young Master is a great talent, so you don't need to be humble."

Then he said to Concubine De: "You don't know, A-Lang is not sick, but poetic, he dragged me out early in the morning, I almost froze to death, do you know?"

The corners of Xie Lang's eyes twitched, Chu Qing, you really came to piss me off... He sighed secretly, still blaming himself for not communicating well, after all, it's hard to be coercive!

"But this poem is really good!" Chu Qing glanced at the poem with his head down, waved his hands and ordered people to put it away, then raised his eyes to look at Concubine De, and asked with a smile, "An Hua, don't you think so? "

Concubine De secretly gritted her teeth, but she had an envious look on her face: "This song is really good, Your Majesty, did you reward me?"

"This is for A-Lang."

The eunuch handed over the handkerchief, Chu Qing took it with a smile and wiped his hands, and said, "Concubine De, what did you do in Shuangxue Palace?"

##### (Note: The plum is better when the moon is reflecting the snow, and the plum is brighter when the moon is in the snow. These two sentences are from the Qilu "Snow Moon Plum" written by Yang Gongyuan in the Song Dynasty)

128. I am your capricious capital

Concubine De smiled, and naturally prepared a set of excuses: "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine borrowed a Buddhist scripture from Ning Shuyi last month, and returned it to her today."

After hearing this, Chu Ting didn't say anything, threw the veil away, and said: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there are many things to do during the Chinese New Year. You are the fourth concubine, don't just hide yourself, you should also go and walk around with the concubine." .Everything in the Sixth Palace is complicated, and there are many people coming to the banquet. If you don’t help, are you counting on me?”

De Fei said: "Your Majesty's lesson is that the concubine is a bit lazy, and will help the imperial concubine and empress more in the future."

Chu Qing nodded, waved his hands and said, "It's cold outside, you don't have much clothes on, so hurry back to the palace."

Concubine De responded meekly, then bowed and said goodbye.

Seeing her walk away, Chu Qing stomped his feet and breathed on his hands: "I'm going to freeze to death."

Shuyi held the stove over, and Chu Qing hugged him in his arms. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where's the chariot?"

"Stop in front." Shu Yi hurriedly led the way, "Your Majesty will follow the servants."

Chu Qing waved his hand: "Go, go, go."

Shu Yi didn't dare to delay, and walked ahead quickly.Chu Qing didn't care about anything, and stepped out of the pavilion directly.

Turning his head suddenly, he stretched out his hand towards Xie Lang: "Come on."

Xie Lang felt relieved, and hurried over to grab his hand, it was really cold.I couldn't help but feel guilty in my heart, and my face became dull.

Chu Qing didn't care about what to say, and dragged him to the dragon carriage at a fast pace. He didn't let out a long breath until the hot air in the dragon carriage rushed towards his face.

"Oh, I thought I was going to be the first emperor in history to be frozen to death!"

Xie Lang took off his cloak to help him cover his legs, then grabbed his hand and put it in his arms.

Chu Qing struggled a bit, and said, "Don't do that, don't you have a hand stove?"

Xie Lang shook his head, and stubbornly pressed his hands on his chest, the cold touch made him shiver.

Chu Qing pursed his lips and sighed, "You!" But finally he didn't say anything, leaned on the soft pillow, and let him warm his hands.

All the way without talking, Long Nian arrived outside Zhenwan Pavilion, and Shu Yi called out from outside.

Chu Qing raised his eyes to look at Xie Lang, pulled out his hand, helped him put on his clothes again, looked at his expression, smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Ah Lang."

Xie Lang lowered his eyes and nodded, silently followed Chu Qing down the dragon chariot.

On the single bridge, Xie Lang followed Chu Qing step by step, hesitating to speak several times.

Chu Qing turned sideways slightly, and still went to hold his hand.

"Do you still remember what I said on the bridge when it was snowing that day? A-Lang, I will go all the way to Baitou with you. Don't worry."

Xie Lang was startled, then clenched his hand behind his back and called out: "Your Majesty."

"Huh?" Chu Qing described it to him, "Think about it, when you are old, with white hair, squinting your sleepy face, you will take a nap by the stove. As for me, I will be watching you from the side, watching you no matter what. Not enough. How do you feel?"

"very good."

"Then do you want that kind of future?"

Xie Lang glanced at him in surprise, the future?He really never thought about this word. In two lifetimes, he never thought of himself as a person who could have a future.

Now someone asked him if he wanted a future, and he was really flustered.

Xie Lang lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, Chu Qing glanced at him, and didn't insist on him saying anything.

At this time, the two had already crossed the Duqiao, and the palace servants from Zhenwan Pavilion had already welcomed the two into the door.Chu Qing pulled him to the Baptist Hall, pointed to the two newly transplanted plum blossom trees as he passed the yard, and said, "A-Lang likes plum blossoms, so it's because of their purity that they are different from vulgar ones.

Xie Lang didn't know what he wanted to say, so he just responded indiscriminately.His mind is in a mess right now, regarding the matter of Concubine De, and Chu Qing's behavior just now, something flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that he had no time to catch it.

"A-Lang loves bamboo, loves plum, loves snow and loves moon. He is a person who is pure and lonely in his bones. If that is the case, why would he do such clichéd things?"

Chu Qing said something with a smile, but as if nothing happened, she smiled and pulled Xie Lang into the room.

The room was full of warmth, Chu Qing took off his coat comfortably, and Yu Shuyi changed into his regular clothes, seeing that Xie Lang was still changing, he sat down on the couch by himself.

It wasn't until Xie Lang finished packing up and all the palace people retreated that the Baptist Hall suddenly became quiet, only the sound of the dripping glass dripping water bit by bit.

Chu Qing opened his eyes slightly, just in time to see Xie Lang staring at him, couldn't help but smile, sat up and waved to him.

"Come, come to me."

Xie Lang walked over and was pulled into his arms by him, and leaned against his chest without struggling, his powerful heartbeat could be heard in his ears, full of vitality.

Chu Qing chuckled, his chest heaved up and down, and there was a muffled sound in his chest.

Xie Lang raised his eyes to look at him, but bumped into a clear spring, the spring water was full of unceasing affection.

He was a little confused for a moment, but Chu Qing's magnetic and joking voice came from his ears.

"A-Lang, tell me first what you want to do in the future, you are always so thoughtless, what if you screw up if I don't figure it out?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a look, Xie Lang was still as confused as before, and couldn't help but nod the tip of his delicate nose.

"You, you have been tossing and tossing, besides freezing me to death, do you think you have avenged or resolved your hatred? You went to provoke Concubine De again for no reason. I know that she has been entangled with you these two days. , are you going to deal with her like this? I thought you were so smart, so you just have to be patient with me."

"Your Majesty, you already know." Xie Lang's voice was a little discouraged, but he was holding Chu Qing's skirt tightly, like a frightened animal, panicked and helpless, "It's all my fault. "

"Well, it's not just me, do you think Concubine De is so stupid? Her father is Xue Ping."

Chu Qing stabbed him, and sure enough, he bit his lip, as if he was caught in some kind of thought.

"In the final analysis, Ah Lang, you can't trust me, can you?"

"Your Majesty, why did you say that. I believe in you the most!"

Chu Qing shook his head: "If I am worthy of your trust, you will not say nothing to me. I ask you, if you can't wait for Concubine De today, what will you do?"

Xie Lang was taken aback for a moment: "This, I never thought about it. Your Majesty, when did you know that I was going to wait for Concubine De?"

Chu Qing nodded his forehead, but still patiently explained: "That pavilion is next to the Jinghong Palace. As long as Concubine De is going back, she will definitely pass by there. Of course I didn't expect it at first, but I was about to freeze to death. You were still moaning, so I thought there must be something wrong with you. Later, Anhua came back, and the two of you were talking in lumps, so it was hard for me not to know."

"That's why His Majesty is so smart." Xie Lang gave a doggy compliment.

"Hey, Ah Lang!" Chu Qing hugged him, "I didn't mean to blame you, you naturally do whatever you want in this palace. As for me, you can treat me as your capricious capital, you It doesn't matter if you like Concubine De Qi, or you like to deal with the Empress, it's up to you. Okay?"

He suddenly said this seriously, Xie Lang didn't know how to react, he just hugged him in his arms at a loss, carefully wrapping his arms around his waist.

"Your Majesty, I will never dare again in the future."

Chu Qing could feel his temptation and caution, and couldn't help laughing. He was acting like a god just now, but now he looked frightened.

"A-Lang, why do you still not understand, what I'm saying is the truth." Chu Qing lowered his eyes and looked at him, "You don't believe it?"

"No, no." Xie Lang shook his head hastily, "Your Majesty, thank you. Really!"

Chu Qing smiled, he seemed to be worthy of such a word of thanks, but...

"I don't need your thanks. I have always treated you willingly, and I have always been willing to do so."

Xie Lang's eyes became hot, and tears welled up as soon as he opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, do you still feel cold?"

Chu Qing pulled him up to face her, leaned close to his face, and licked away a tear with the tip of her tongue.

"Salty."

Xie Lang's face turned red all of a sudden, but instead of avoiding it, he met Chu Qing's gaze: "Your Majesty, let me warm you up?"

129. Year-end habitual cranky thinking

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the palace was full of joy. Chu Qing had nothing to do all day today, and he didn't want to move when he woke up, so he just snuggled up under the blanket and took a nap.

Xie Lang got up early, rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time, and ran out without knowing what to do.

Chu Qing opened his eyes, Shu Yi happened to come in from the outside, came to the bed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it has been found out that the Empress Defei did go to Shuangxue Palace yesterday. But she didn't return any Buddhist scriptures. She and Ning Shuyi dismissed the servants in the Shuangxue Palace, talked about having a cup of tea, and then left in a hurry."

"What did you talk about?"

Shu Yi shook his head: "It seems to be related to Qing Shaojun, our people dare not get too close, and specifically did not listen."

It has something to do with Xie Lang, is Concubine De also in contact with Xie Lang?

But her brain is broken, she went to find Ning Shuyi, shouldn't she go to the queen?

Chu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Got it. Where did Young Master go?"

Shu Yi smiled: "Just now, the servant saw that Qing Shaojun seemed to be looking for something, and this meeting should be in the side hall. Do you want to get up, Your Majesty?"

Chu Qing took a deep breath, really didn't want to leave the warm bed!

"Get up." Chu Qing got out of bed anyway, and waited for the tree to serve him with open arms.

Shu Yi hurriedly took the dragon robe and put it on for him, and said while putting it on, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Chu Qing snorted twice: "Think for yourself."

Shu Yi choked, secretly thinking that he was a fool to start the scene like this, and even forgot that the emperor never took an ordinary way!

"Yes, the slave wants to say that Concubine Jin often runs to Kunning Palace recently, and she has to pay her respects to Empress Empress almost every day. The two seem to be very close."

Chu Qingdao didn't seem to care much: "Her face is ruined, and it's common sense to pick up the queen. By the way, did she just go to Kunning Palace? Didn't she see anyone else?"

"There are really no other people." Shu Yi helped Chu Qing fasten the jade belt hook, helped him sit down, and helped him put on his shoes, "But Your Majesty, General Cai sent someone into the palace to deliver things."

The General Cai that Shu Yi spoke of was Cai Kun, General Zhennan, the father of Concubine Jin.Although Concubine Jin is the concubine's daughter born to her aunt, she is quite loved by Cai Kun. She was raised and brought into the palace since childhood.

Chu Qing has no likes or dislikes towards Cai Kun. In the past two lives, this person has been in southern Yunnan and never returned to Splendid City.When the northern army came in, it was too late for Cai Kun to do anything.

He had never thought about it deeply before, but now he felt something was wrong.Jinxiu City is not very far to the north, and it would take only a few days to march quickly from the south of Yunnan. Especially in the last life, Chu Qing trapped King Zhiqin internally and externally, but until he was captured, Cai Kun did not make any movement.

Concubine Jin had an accident in the previous life, and Chu Qing didn't know the inside story from Xie Lang until his death. Although he himself contributed to the incident, Cai Kun was far away from Jinxiu City. It is impossible for him not to lead soldiers to serve the king because of Concubine Jin.

Not to mention that Concubine Jin is just his concubine, if Da Xia dies, what good will it do Cai Kun?

benefit?

Chu Qing regretted not paying attention to the Cai family earlier. After he came back, he was always led by the nose by the events of his previous life, and there were almost no problems that he really figured out.

Only now did I realize that Cai Kun's family had more problems than Duan's family.

Shu Yi waited for Chu Qing to put on his shoes, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he withdrew and closed the door of the inner room before leaving.

Chu Qing sat in the chair and didn't move for a long time.

During the time when he was reborn again, he seemed to be tense all the time, and he didn't have the extra energy to think carefully about the many problems in his previous life.He was just doing things self-righteously to make himself feel at ease, but he didn't dare to think about what the result would be.

Sometimes he couldn't figure out why he was reborn again and again. Could it be that if he couldn't do well in this emperor, would he have to be reborn forever?

Chu Qing suddenly got excited, and suddenly remembered a sentence in the Ksitigarbha Sutra that said there is no end to hell, "This is continuous, and there is no time to go out."

That's a big joke!

Chu Qing's eyebrows are heavy, and it is not difficult to investigate Cai Kun's affairs in southern Xinjiang now. The difficult thing is how to deal with the Cai family and Concubine Jin, and how to deal with the Cai family and Concubine Jin calmly.

Although it hadn't started yet, he seemed to have anticipated the ending, and when he came back to his senses, a layer of cold sweat was already breaking out on his body.

Chu Qing moved his body a little uncomfortably, and couldn't help smiling wryly. In his previous life, there were too many scammers around him. They cheated him one after another, and finally killed him. Cai Kun didn't have his turn to appear, and he didn't know Cai Kun what a feeling.

He raised his head, intending to call Long Shiqi out, but suddenly thought that he had already led people to Shu, so he had to suppress his thoughts, some things can't be rushed, let's wait until they find the written documents.

Thinking of Cheng Wenyue, Chu Qing's heart sank suddenly, it's too bad!

Cheng Wenyue had an accident in Mount Qingcheng, which is only a day's journey from southern Yunnan. If Cai Kun had other thoughts, could it be that he and King Rong joined forces for this incident?

After all, even if King Rong stretched his arms in the court, it would not be easy to dispatch so many troops to Shu.But what if those people and horses are nearby?

King Rong and Cai Kun...is it possible?

When Xie Lang pushed the door in with a lot of things in his hands, he saw Chu Qing sitting in a chair with a bitter expression, thinking about life.

His complexion was not very good, as if he had thought of something unhappy, his eyes were glinting with a gloomy light, and he looked like a different person in normal times.

Xie Lang was startled, walked over to put the things on the table, knelt down in front of him, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong, Your Majesty? But what's bothering you?"

Chu Qing glanced at him with almost no warmth in his eyes, Xie Lang was stabbed by that gaze, and all the hairs on his body were bundled up.

This look made him inexplicably afraid.

However, Chu Qing immediately changed his expression, smiled and rubbed Xie Lang's small face, and his brows softened.

"I may have gotten up violently, I was a little dizzy just now."

He made a random excuse, and then changed the subject: "What did you bring here?"

It was still the original Chu Qing, Xie Lang breathed a sigh of relief, did not doubt this bad excuse, nodded and said: "Then don't sit still, go to bed and lie down for a while. I still need to prepare, and I will show you later." .”

Chu Qing reached out to pick up the things he put on the table, and felt that something was wrong. When he raised his hand again, his fingertips were all stained red.

"What is this?" Chu Qing stretched out his finger to Xie Lang, "You stained your hand, don't do it."

Xie Lang let out a "hey", took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his hands, then got up to collect the package.

"It's been said that we still need some time to prepare, so don't touch your hands."

But Chu Qing became interested and insisted on seeing it clearly.Xie Lang had no choice but to spread it out for him to see.

"You wrote those words yesterday. I thought it would be better to get red paper, make paper-cuts, and paste it on the door and window. It will look more festive. Hey, don't touch the faded red paper."

Chu Qing didn't believe it: "You know how to make paper-cuts, why didn't I know?"

Xie Lang gave him a white look: "If you knew everything, you wouldn't be a god." Then he pushed him to bed.

"Your Majesty, take a break and leave me alone."

Chu Qing turned around and hugged him: "How can I go to bed alone? It takes two people to sleep soundly!"

"Oh, Your Majesty, are you my ancestor? Stop making trouble, it's just getting started!"

Chu Qing gave an "um" and said, "I'm hungry."

"Ah?" Xie Lang struggled out of his arms, "Aren't you dizzy yet? Then I go get someone to prepare the meal. The porridge should be prepared and delivered here."

Xie Lang opened the door and called Shu to come in, he gathered the things on the table into a pile, and went out to make porridge.

Shu Yi said: "Your Majesty, the Royal Study Room just sent someone over, saying that the Prime Minister handed over a sign to ask for an interview, and Qin Tianjian, Lord Qin, has also gone to wait."

Chu Qing frowned and complained: "It's so easy to celebrate the New Year, I can't let me rest for two days."

"Maybe there is something urgent?"

Chu Qing sighed, and knocked on the table. Although he felt lazy, but thinking about it all morning, he might as well find something to do. Maybe the prime minister has any good news?

After thinking about it, he finally got up and said: "Take the clothes, call the walking chariot, and put it in the study room."

130. Passionate but ruthless annoyed

Chu Qing left as soon as he said it, and Xie Lang was used to it, knowing that he was always saying that the wind was the rain, and whenever he thought about it, it was the same.Only follow him to drink the porridge before sending people out.

Chu Qing stood at the end of the bridge, holding her hand: "Tonight to watch the new year, I'm afraid I still have to go to Kunning Palace, don't stay up late, sleep when you're sleepy, you know?"

Xie Lang nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't go out in Zhenwan Pavilion, and I will have a banquet tomorrow night before going to Yongfu Palace. But you, you can afford it when you are ugly tomorrow? You must have a good rest tonight."

In the harem, only the empress is eligible to appear on the first day of the lunar new year, so Xie Lang naturally didn't have to bother.In fact, at this time, the most tiring one is the emperor alone. On the first day of the new year, the emperor does one thing from morning till night: kowtow.

Knocking out a year's head in one day, Chu Qing used to be very wronged for himself, but now he feels that it doesn't matter.

There is always something involuntary in being a human being, as if others have to kowtow to salute when they see themselves, do they really feel that they are great from the bottom of their hearts?It's not that you are bound by etiquette, and not kowtowing is a capital offense.

Chu Qing smiled, what's wrong with me today, every little thing can make me feel like I'm about to realize it.

"I know, I'm used to doing these things, and nothing will happen. I'll look for you again tomorrow."

"I respectfully send it to Your Majesty."

Xie Lang bowed his knees and saluted, watched Chu Qing turn around and sit on the dragon chariot, then got up and walked back.

"My lord, there is news from Shuangxue Palace that Concubine De and Ning Shuyi had a secret conversation yesterday, but no one knows what they said." Xiaozhu peeped around and said quietly, "Mr. Shu also knows about this." It is estimated that His Majesty should know about it in a while."

"Understood, just keep an eye on it and just wait and see what happens." Xie Lang's eyes were cold at this time, with a look of disdain, "Where's the old Mo man? Is the news about Cheng Wenyue true?"

Xiaozhu frowned and said, "I don't know about that. By the way, my lord, Gaifeng has come to the palace, and he will find a chance to come here at night. Why don't you meet him now?"

"Forget it, you tell Lao Mo to wait in the side hall, I have something to tell him." Xie Lang looked dull, and stopped while leaning on the railing of the Duqiao, "You go back first, I will stay here for a while, through Breathe."

Because he came out to see Chu Qing off, Xie Lang only brought Xiaozhu with him. At this time, Xiaozhu went back first, so he was standing alone on the bridge.

The weather has warmed up these few days, and the sun is just right, not dazzling, but it is still warm and comfortable when it shines on the body.

Xie Lang tilted his head to face the sun, and raised his face slightly. The winter air was icy cold, and he inhaled hard into his nose.

He half-closed his eyes, smiled slightly, it was so good, and suddenly felt that it was so good to be alive.Still in Daxia, and Chu Qing, there is still time for everything.

Xie Lang went out in a hurry, Mo's hair was loosely fixed behind his head with a wooden hairpin, and the remaining half of his hair was still hanging down behind his head.A gust of wind blew, and some disobedient hair was blown onto his face, and he just stood there as if he didn't care.

He is wearing an ankle-length lavender hooded cloak today, with one hand lightly resting on the railing, looking up at the sky with his eyes squinted.The sun was pouring down, and from a distance, his whole body seemed to be inlaid with a layer of gold.

In the Bi Pavilion, Chu Xiu was leaning on the pillars of the pavilion, and for a while, he was fascinated by it.

Chu Xiu entered the palace with King Rong today, and after being separated from the other courtyard that day, he also returned to Prince Rong's mansion that night.The next day, they went to find King Rong in person, and the father and son sighed for two hours.No one knew what they talked about, but when Chu Xiu came out of the study, his face turned paler.

King Rong prepared for two days, and brought Chu Xiu into the palace early this morning, saying that he was paying his respects to the emperor. In fact, Chu Xiu knew that King Rong was forced to do nothing by himself.

When the two walked to the imperial garden just now, King Rong proposed to change clothes, the eunuch who led the way took him away, and Chu Xiu went to wait in the pavilion alone.

Biting was not far from Zhenwan Pavilion, Chu Xiu watched Xie Lang send Chu Qing away, then sent away the little boy beside him, and stood on the single bridge by himself.

From a distance, he couldn't see Xie Lang's expression clearly, but he always felt that Xie Lang had something on his mind.He had felt this way from the time we met, and at this moment, this feeling was even stronger.

It's just that this feeling was immediately diluted when he was born. With a smile on Xie Lang's lips, his whole body seemed to light up instantly. He was no longer surrounded by the sun, but from the inside. The field glows.

Chu Xiu also laughed, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, as if Xie Lang should have been like this in the first place.He shouldn't be sad, he shouldn't have worries, he should live every day easily and happily.

After a while, Xie Lang turned around holding the railing, glanced into the imperial garden, and smiled again to himself.Then he finally turned his head and walked towards Zhenwan Pavilion, and slowly walked back along the Duqiao.

He walked gracefully, and Chu Xiu just kept staring at his back until he walked into the yard and the gate closed behind him.

Chu Xiu's heart was empty, a little annoyed, and a little unwilling.Blinking, he couldn't help sighing softly, thinking with a wry smile, what is there to be annoyed about?

The swing in the wall is outside the wall, the pedestrians outside the wall, and the beautiful lady in the wall laughs.Laughter gradually fell silent, but passionate but was ruthlessly annoyed.

Could it be that he really became an idiot outside the wall?

The sound of footsteps came from behind, Chu Xiu turned around, and King Rong was walking over, followed by the eunuch who led the way before.

"Father." Chu Xiu called out, and quickly walked out of the Biting Pavilion with a submissive expression.

131. When to speak or not to speak

Outside the imperial study room, Xu Shiqing was chatting with Qin Ming one after another.

Qin Tianjian is a relatively independent yamen, and even Xu Shiqing doesn't often see Qin Ming as the supervisor.However, since seeing him at the beginning of heavy snow last time, Xu Shiqing has paid attention to this young official who looks very young and works safely.

In fact, he wanted to be promoted, but Xu Shiqing didn't reveal that intention at this time.

On the contrary, Qin Ming learned his lesson this time. When he wanted to see Chu Qing, he made a divination for himself before going out, and it turned out to be beneficial to see the nobleman.Qin Ming happily packed into the palace, and sure enough, in the imperial study, he met the prime minister who was handing over a sign asking to see him.

Is this my chance?Master said that he is going to do great things, probably now!

Qin Ming was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he was still talking to Xu Shiqing cautiously, not showing the slightest eagerness or aggressiveness, on the contrary, he was calm and composed, with a calm demeanor, which made Xu Shiqing even more satisfied.

When Chu Qing came over, he saw the two of them were chatting in the corridor, and the atmosphere seemed quite lively.

It was Qin Ming who was the first to discover Chu Qing, and immediately bowed and walked a few steps to the corridor, knelt down and saluted.

"Okay, it's cold on the ground, get up." Chu Qing was still not angry with Qin Ming, raised his hand and ignored him.

Looking at Xu Shiqing who was walking tremblingly, he stretched out his hand to help him with a smile and said, "Didn't I tell the teacher a long time ago that I will just go to the side hall and wait for the audience in the future. It is so cold, have you stood on the porch for a long time? Are you cold? "

Xu Shiqing was helped by Chu Qing, and said with a smile: "The old minister walked all the way into the palace, his body was warm, and he didn't feel cold after standing for a while. The emperor should have a rest today, and he asked the minister to disturb him."

"It's okay, idle is idle." Chu Qing said, waved his hands, and walked into the imperial study with long legs.

Qin Ming followed behind the two of them, thinking to himself that it's no wonder Xu Shiqing has stood firm in the court for so many years, and the emperor trusted him so much, no one can turn to him.

Chu Qing gave Xu Shiqing a seat, as for Qin Ming, he could only stand.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is here to show you this." Xu Shiqing took out a memorial and said with a smile, "Look at the memorial of Fujian Governor Li Changan?"

"Fujian?" Chu Qing accepted the memorial in a daze. Li Chang'an, he remembered, was an incompetent person.It's a big Chinese New Year, and it's too late to petition An Zhezi.

After opening the memorial and looking at it, Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry, and pushed the memorial: "This Li Changan is really full."

"Your Majesty only mentioned one thing at the court meeting, and it was the old minister's fault. He even forgot to remind you to issue an edict." Xu Shiqing thought for a while, and then said, "But that's fine, since the river is frozen, Your Majesty might as well... "

"Teacher, it's Chinese New Year, are you here to make me miserable?" Chu Qing interrupted Xu Shiqing, "Let's not talk about the golden words of the emperor, even ordinary people know what a promise is. If you say it, you will do it. The palace is not being repaired anymore, it’s not just a whim.”

"But the wood and stone have already left, so they must be transported to the capital, right?"

Chu Qing's slender fingers curled slightly, tapped on the table, and said: "According to the date, we should have arrived in Hankou. This Li Chang'an, really!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, this is also Master Li's filial piety."

Chu Qing pursed his lips, knowing that Xu Shiqing was talking ironically, and he was also preventing himself from taking Li Changan's knife, after all, he was just flattering.

Chu Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Since we have arrived in Hankou, we will issue an order today to expedite the transport of six hundred miles to Zhuzhou, so that we can use it to build dams in the next year. By the way, tell Lu Silin that the Yellow River He will dispatch the affairs."

After saying this, Xu Shiqing was fine, but Qin Ming could hardly hold back.The wood and stone were originally used to expand the palace, to build dams?The emperor's brain is twitching!

However, there is no place for him to speak at this time, the prime minister will come to speak, Qin Ming raised his eyes and stared at Xu Shiqing's side face, thinking, hurry up and hate him, hate the emperor!

Unexpectedly, Xu Shiqing was only silent for a moment, then nodded: "Your Majesty's arrangement like this is very, um, it surprised the old minister."

He actually didn't know what to say anymore. Chu Qing had always done such whimsical things. Using the wood and stone from the palace to build dams was not a question of whether he could do it, but that the court didn't want to lose face. ah!

But Chu Qing suddenly became reliable, Xu Shiqing didn't want to fight with him from the bottom of his heart, so he simply didn't say anything, and did what you told him to do.

Chu Qing glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I know, there is a problem of face, it seems that my Chu family is so poor that I can't afford to repair the house, so I just use it to repair the embankment. But teacher, In the end, I didn’t want to waste people’s money by doing this, and these logs have already been felled, so I can’t put them back into the ground, so it’s better to make the best use of them.”

Xu Shiqing didn't say anything, but Qin Ming couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Your Majesty, I really admire you for caring about the common people, but I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Shu Yi raised his eyebrows, Mr. Qin was about to hit the gun, watch a good show, watch a good show!

Sure enough, Chu Qing glanced at him: "Think for yourself."

Qin Ming hesitated, what to do, the emperor doesn't play cards according to routine!Also, what is the expression of the tree manager? What does it mean to gloat?

"Well, the wood and stones brought from Fujian were originally used for the expansion of the imperial palace, and there are strict requirements on the selection of good materials and specifications. If they are used to build embankments, they may not be suitable."

"Well, why is it inappropriate?" Chu Qing snorted, slightly raised his eyelids, and gave Qin Ming a look of "go on".

Qin Ming was a little apprehensive. He glanced at Xu Shiqing, seeing that he didn't respond at all, he was even more flustered.However, the words have been spoken, so it can only go on.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if you use the materials used to build palaces to build embankments, you will naturally have to consider three points. One is whether the specifications are suitable, the second is whether the quantity is sufficient, and the third is that the royal palace materials should not be trampled by grass-roots people at will. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Chu Qing glanced at Xu Shiqing, the old guy squinted his eyes halfway, and looked impassive, obviously he didn't intend to speak, probably because he already agreed with Qin Ming in his heart.

Chu Qing smiled: "You said three points, first, things are dead and people are alive, if the specifications are not up to standard, then change them until they are suitable. Second, they are not originally used to build dams. Of course the quantity is not enough, and if it is not enough, use other things to make up for it. As for the royal face, it is just a few stones and a few logs. Could it be that if I don’t want those dead things, the royal family’s face will come back? Teacher, what do you think?”

132. Prioritize when reporting

Xu Shiqing raised his eyes and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is right."

Forehead?

Chu Qing and Qin Ming looked at each other, what does the Prime Minister mean?

Xu Shiqing nodded, then changed the subject: "Why did Lord Qin come to see His Majesty today?"

That's right, why did Qin Ming come here so early in the morning?

Chu Qing turned to look at Qin Ming curiously: "Qin Ming, the Chinese New Year will be tomorrow, did your Qin Tianjian figure out something good?"

Only then did Qin Ming suddenly look serious, and cupped his hands and said, "Responding to what your majesty and the prime minister said, I was watching the sky at night, and found a small star rising next to the Ziwei star, which gradually has the potential to overwhelm the host. I am here to tell your majesty, this time Although the little star has not yet collided, but its momentum is threatening, please be on guard in advance, Your Majesty."

Is there a small star next to Ziwei Xing about to collide?

Chu Qing looked bewildered: "Zhen, what should we be on guard against?"

Qin Ming pursed his lips secretly: "Your Majesty, Ziwei Star dominates the Emperor, and the Emperor Star is collided. This is not a good omen."

Oh, only then did Chu Qing understand that someone was about to hit her.

"Who is that little star?"

Qin Ming stared, how the hell do I know who it is?If I knew, I would have ascended to immortality long ago!

Seeing his staring eyes, Chu Qing couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Tell me about you, and you go to make irresponsible remarks without knowing anything. Is it interesting to disturb the king's heart with such nonsense? I learned from your master." What's so good!"

Qin Ming was speechless, what does this have to do with his dead ghost master!

Xu Shiqing interjected: "Your Majesty, observing the celestial phenomena, calculating the solar terms, and formulating the calendar are the duties of the Qin Tianjian. Lord Qin should come to report to you. However, when the celestial phenomena are mentioned, they are illusory, and most of them are later. There is no need to take it too seriously. To seek good luck and avoid bad luck, it is enough to prepare early. Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and you have a hundred spirits to protect your body, so don't worry too much."

Chu Qing nodded: "The prime minister can still speak."

Qin Ming curled his lips, he must be saying that you like to hear it, who doesn't like to hear something nice!

"Qin Ming, do you have anything else to do?" Chu Qing really wanted to drive this obtrusive guy away, "If you have nothing to do..."

"Yes,
