I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Help her up and change her clothes."

Just as the two maids were about to help Qiao Linxi, Qiao Linxi suddenly woke up, then stood up and looked around in horror.

"Gu Changfeng, why are you here?"

Gu Changfeng sat there calmly, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He blew on it, took a sip, and then answered Qiao Linxi: "I've always been here."

Qiao Linxi was numb.

When did Gu Changfeng come? How come she didn't know anything about it?

Last night, his people checked in at the inn and left. When she found an inn to stay in, she didn't see Gu Changfeng.

"Hurry up and wash up and eat something, we will be going to the palace soon."

Looking at the pitch-black outside, Qiao Linxi suspected that Gu Changfeng had not slept at all.

"What time is it now?"

Gu Changfeng put down the teacup and said, "The end of the Yin hour."

Qiao Linxi thought about it and realized that Yinshi is from 3 to 5 in the morning, and the end of Yinshi is 5 o'clock.

"So early?"

Qiao Linxi suddenly understood why the emperors of all dynasties died early. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, which drained their bodies. In addition, they had to review various memorials. They slept later than dogs and woke up earlier than chickens. How could their bodies bear it?

"Pfft..."

Gu Changfeng laughed suddenly, and the two maids also laughed, which made Qiao Linxi stunned.

"Miss Qiao, today it is the young master who is waiting for you. If it were any other day, the young master would have been in the palace serving the emperor."

Gu Changfeng also spoke up: "Officials who are going to court must arrive at the palace before the end of the Yin hour, because the court will start at the Mao hour."

Mao hour? And doesn't the court start at five o'clock?

Whenever the emperor was resting at the residence of a concubine, he would get up early, dress well, and then go to the main hall.

Qiao Linxi opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he said, "It's so hard."

With this interruption, Qiao Linxi's sleepiness disappeared. After washing up, she walked around the screen and went to the table outside where there was a table full of food.

There are steamed buns, porridge, and even some greasy roast duck.

"Eat something to fill your stomach. Breakfast may be late."

Gu Changfeng was very considerate, but Qiao Linxi always felt uncomfortable facing him. She just wanted to get the job done quickly and leave the capital.

"Why don't you eat?"

After Qiao Linxi took a mouthful of porridge, she saw that Gu Changfeng didn't move his chopsticks, so she asked a question.

"I'm not hungry."

"He doesn't dare to eat it."

Qiao Linxi:?

The system's voice sounded in Qiao Linxi's mind, "To be exact, ministers who go to court basically don't eat."

Qiao Linxi:?

"The palace is a place that values ​​rules, and it has high requirements for ministers. If you eat and get bumpy on the road, you will inevitably want to go to the toilet. If the civil and military officials in the court are discussing state affairs, and you suddenly stand up and say, 'Your Majesty, I want to go to the toilet,' imagine the scene. On the one hand, in order to show the majesty of the royal family, the emperor has no toilets in the palace. Even if there are, they are very far away. If you go to the toilet, it is still unknown whether you can walk to the toilet. The court meeting may be over by the time you go back and forth. In this way, you will miss many important decisions because of going to the toilet."

"Pfft..."

Qiao Linxi was amused by the system's vivid words. As soon as the picture came out, she couldn't help laughing.

After hearing what the system said, Qiao Linxi didn't dare to eat much. She took a few mouthfuls of porridge and stopped eating. What if she wanted to go to the toilet?

Don't let yourself be suffocated to death by your own shit and piss instead of dying at the hands of an assassin.

Seeing that Qiao Linxi didn't want to eat, Gu Changfeng didn't force her and asked the maid to change her clothes. Qiao Linxi wanted to refuse, but Gu Changfeng spoke again.

"The Emperor wants to commend you today, so you should not dress too casually. Also, this is your official appearance in front of all the civil and military officials, so you can't let people look down on you."

All right, Gu Changfeng convinced himself. Qiao Linxi opened her hands and enjoyed the maid's service.

After half an hour of incense, Qiao Linxi finished dressing up. She just felt her head was extremely heavy. How many pearl hairpins did these two maids put on her body?

Qiao Linxi felt it herself and there weren't many, just two or three. But why were they so heavy?

"Don't move, you'll get used to it."

Seeing that Qiao Linxi was still moving the two pure gold hairpins, Gu Changfeng quickly stopped her.

"You donated so much gold and silver to the treasury, you have to dress up to make people look rich. Otherwise, those pedantic old guys will stand up and oppose it."

Qiao Linxi took out a small mirror and looked at the person in the mirror, and was frightened by him.

The golden hairpin on her head almost blinded her eyes, and even her clothes were embroidered with gold threads. Her whole body exuded the aura of "I am very rich".

Although this way of showing off wealth is very rustic, it must be said that Gu Changfeng has a good vision. These clothes embroidered with gold thread correspond to the hairpin on the head, which makes people feel comfortable, rather than looking like a nouveau riche.

Thinking of something, Qiao Linxi suddenly said, "I need to return this dress to you after I leave the palace, right? I feel like the flesh on my body is not worth the money for this dress now."

These words reminded Gu Changfeng of something, and his originally gentle and smiling face instantly turned cold.

"I'm not wrong. At that time in Lanqing City, you..."

Uh……

Before Qiao Linxi could say anything, Gu Changfeng grabbed her neck again.

"Qiao Linxi, you keep provoking me, do you really think I can't bear to kill you?"

Qiao Linxi: “…”

The two maids nearby saw that Gu Changfeng had lost control again, so they knelt down quickly, not daring to breathe.

"Haha, you're going to kill me again."

Qiao Linxi uttered these words with difficulty.

Gu Changfeng's emotions are really unstable and he wants to kill people at any time.

"Miss Qiao, you...you should say less. Don't make the young master angry."

Gu Changfeng let go of Qiao Linxi's hand only after watching her face turn red and then slowly turn blue.

Then she wiped her hands with a handkerchief as if nothing had happened. The two maids breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to help Qiao Linxi re-apply her makeup, covering the red marks on her neck with rouge and powder.

"Put some in a food box so she won't be hungry in the palace later."

Qiao Linxi was about to say no, but when she met Gu Changfeng's somewhat gloomy eyes, she tactfully shut her mouth.

Never mind, she would endure it for just one day. It would be better not to offend the pervert.

Otherwise she was really afraid that this guy would break her neck.

Qiao Linxi really didn’t understand what was going on in Gu Changfeng’s brain. He wanted to kill her just now, and now when getting on the carriage, he stretched out his hand in front of Qiao Linxi.

Looking at the big hand with distinct joints, Qiao Linxi hesitated for a moment, but still put his own hand in and used Gu Changfeng's help to get into the carriage.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Qiao Linxi saw many carriages lined up behind the gate. When he was about to get off the carriage and walk, the guards guarding the palace gate saw Gu Changfeng's carriage, immediately put away their guns and let it pass.

Qiao Linxi was speechless. Gu Changfeng's status was so high.
