Imperial City

Wei Qi knelt at the back, and said in a low voice: "The slave is sending you the Holy Driver." Dissipated in the wind and snow, no one heard him.

Not long after, Yu Jia went away, and he got up from the ground supporting his legs that were a little stiff from the cold.

His forehead was icy cold, and a very fine streak of blood snaked from top to bottom, gradually flowing to the center of his brow.

Wei Qi raised his hand and wiped it, sighing inwardly.

Alas, it's bleeding again.

He didn't care much, his left and right sides were frozen, and he didn't feel much pain.

The Holy Majesty told him to go back and think about his past, Wei Qi bowed his head and walked back to the courtyard.

Although he tried his best to cover up the wound along the way, he could still feel the eyes of others staying on his forehead for a short time.

Back in his own room, Little Qianzi was not surprised when he saw that he had obviously been punished.

He only called out to Lord Wei, fetched the medicine box and looked at him.

Wei Qi heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't even have the energy to explain, he just felt exhausted.

Just now about the matter of King Xian'an, although he made fun of it back, he didn't enjoy it very much.

There is nowhere to vent the depression and distress in his heart, Wei Qi really wants to cry, but he never expected that it turned out to be just a spring palace map.

Just one picture book disturbed his original peaceful life, and made him struggle for more than half a year, life would be worse than death, and finally he had no choice but to compromise.

Wei Qi looked around, Xiaoqianzi and Xiaoqianzi were wiping the tables and chairs in the house, he couldn't cry yet.

In Xushi Kunning Palace.

Today, on the first day of the new year, according to the etiquette, Emperor Fadi should stay in the Central Palace. After the banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was over, the imperial driver arrived at the Kunning Palace.

Both the emperor and the empress were a little tired. It was not an easy job to have a banquet with the courtiers in the first place, and to meet the wives in the middle palace later.

At this moment, the two of them washed up and sat on the side of the couch, chatting.

"My concubine, I thank the sage for your grace. The blessing you gave me a few days ago, my father has ordered someone to enshrine it in the ancestral temple and worship it every day."

The queen said softly, looking at the emperor very softly.

The latter said: "The empress has worked hard, the head of the country is loyal, and has dedicated himself to our great Chu. A loyal minister of the Zhao family deserves a reward. Nothing can be overstated."

Just saying so in his mouth, but he sneered in his heart.

He is so familiar with the affairs of the Zhao family that he even knows about the blessings, but he doesn't know how to keep in touch with each other in private.He didn't even bother to read the report every few days.

After a few quick words, the two settled down, their bodies were far apart, and the gap was clearly visible.

However, when the queen's hand was quietly grabbing the bright yellow obscene clothes of the people around her under the dim light, the emperor turned over and pressed down.

Face to face, breath and smell, close at hand, but it is rigid, like a routine.

The queen's face was calm, and her heart was calm. She just needed the routine for this night.She can't show her resentment, not only can't show resentment, but she also needs to show her dependence and admiration.

Heh, tacitly acting on the occasion, but no one will break it first.

The emperor's eyes were calm, and he looked at the woman below, who was also beautiful and moving, with a pink and shy face, full of eyes, plump lips, dignified and charming.

It's just dull, no one can know whether she is acting or really soft and charming.

It has never been impenetrable to people, just like me.

But the emperor only wishes that no one can see through him, but he doesn't want there to be people and things in this world that he can't see through.

But this is his first wife, the emperor thought, looking at the slightly parted lips, he suddenly remembered a slave in his mind.

What is the difference between a prostitute and a slave?

He pursed his lips and leaned over to press it lightly.

The queen froze, not knowing why her husband was suddenly so gentle tonight.

It had been more than a year since her father had become so close.

She opened her lips, wanting to meet her.

But the emperor withdrew at this moment.

The former lowered his eyes and sneered mockingly in his heart, but his face was softer and gentler.

It's no different, the Emperor thought to himself, even worse than that slave.

As soon as the thought came to him, he felt that he was absurd, but he couldn't help but come up with even more absurd thoughts.

It's better to go back and be a slave.

His actions were more indifferent than before.

At least that slave has no mind, he can see through all the timidity, shyness, resistance, bewilderment, temptation, joy and self-conceited cleverness at a glance.

Hastily finished.

On the second day when the imperial driver returned to Qianqing Palace, the emperor sat in the sedan chair and asked Anxi, "How is the jade pendant from the House of Internal Affairs?"

The voice passed through the bright yellow cotton tent and reached the ears of the eunuch who was walking beside him with his head bowed.

Jade pendant?What jade pendant?

Anxi couldn't remember the reason for the jade pendant that the Holy Majesty was talking about, and couldn't ask, so she thought for a moment.

Whoops!Jade pendant!He remembered what kind of jade pendant it was, it was the jade pendant that Wei Qi was going to reward two days ago.

In fact, there is no news yet, everything in the womb is very busy these days.The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not know how many servants have to come in and out every day, and the threshold is trampled.

Even though someone from Qianqing Palace personally ordered something to be given to a slave, but because the person didn't urge him, it seemed that he was not in a hurry.Therefore, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs moved this matter to the back.

Anxi didn't pay much attention to it either, the sage had rewarded Wei Qi with many things, and they all just gave a casual order, and didn't pay much attention to it.I never thought that I would ask this question on purpose at this moment, how can I say that I have it?I'm afraid the Ministry of Internal Affairs hasn't started to do it yet.

This is a little troublesome, the Holy One said at that time that he wanted to make a better piece, and he did it for Wei Qi.Not only must it fit his stature, but also his age of seventeen or eighteen, and it must not be too expensive, and his status must also be considered.

Anxi felt worried, but still answered: "Responding to the Holy Majesty's words, there have been a lot of miscellaneous things in the palace recently, and the House of Internal Affairs must also be busy. However, the slave sent someone to remind me, and the slave thought that it would take another day or two to deliver the things. gone."

The emperor didn't say much, and he didn't feel too slow, he just said: "Let me take a look when it's done."

"Whoo."

The imperial driver stopped in front of the Qianqing Palace, and the slaves inside picked him up.Wei Qi had a wound on his face, so he knelt back a little for fear of polluting his holy eyes.

cried the emperor.

He stood up, with his head slightly lowered, his arms close to his sides, and his posture was still tall and straight.

The emperor glanced over and saw that his forehead was bruised and swollen.He frowned for a moment, but didn't look at it much, and walked inside.

Anxi had some free time, so she hurriedly summoned Wang Fugui.

"Master An."

"You go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask the Department of Creation to bring a piece of jade Buddha. You want a blood jade of medium to high level, and engrave the word seven on the back. Hurry up, do it overnight, and you will have to look at things in the future."

It is better to make a piece of Jade Buddha, because Guanyin Bodhisattva cannot wear it.Avalokitesvara, the official seal, does not match Wei Qi's identity, and it may make the Holy One remember the eunuch's monopoly in the previous dynasty, which is not beautiful.

Wang Fugui replied: "Hey."

Qian Shoude, the eunuch in charge of the Creation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, got the order, and quickly asked Qian Si from the Storage Department for a better blood jade embryo.

They also sent a few servants with good craftsmanship to make it overnight, without sleep or sleep, and finally delivered the things to the imperial court at Youshi (five o'clock in the afternoon) two days later.

At that time the emperor was looking at Yan Zhengji's invitation letter in the inner study, although his face was expressionless, his eyebrows were stretched.

An Xi said in her heart: This jade pendant came at just the right time.

After reading the booklet, the emperor threw it on the table and leaned against the red sandalwood throne carved with eight treasures and bat patterns.

Seeing that the emperor's hands were empty, Wang Fugui led the servants who were holding the vermilion lacquer trays to report the matter.

"Slave please give me peace."

"Ah."

"My lord, the jade pendant that you ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send to Wei Qi a few days ago has been completed, and Qian Shou, the eunuch in charge of the Department of Creation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just delivered it."

"Yeah." The emperor supported his head and said in a low voice, "I'll take a look."

"Hey." Wang Fugui winked at the slave at the back, and the man walked forward to the front desk.

An Xi stepped forward and took out the golden silk nanmu wood box with dark red lacquer and carved magpie pattern that was placed on the tray.

Walking to the side of the emperor, he opened the wooden box, bent down and tilted the box slightly.

"Holy."

The emperor leisurely raised his hand to pick it up.

He picked up something and brought it closer to his eyes for a closer look.

It is a blood jade Maitreya Buddha jade pendant.

The Buddha's face is amiable, the jade pendant is blood red, it looks very transparent, but the tentacles are warm.It is worn with black thin rope, and a dark brown water hyacinth bead is adorned at both ends.

It is said that only the upper-middle-class blood jade is needed, but the upper-middle class in the palace is very unusual.Furthermore, things are to be presented to the emperor, so this piece of jade is a good thousand-year-old blood jade.

The emperor rubbed the jade pendant, and suddenly felt that there was a depression on the back, as if a character had been engraved on it. Turning it over to see, there was a "Qi" engraved in the middle, and he carefully looked at the character "Qi".

I am quite satisfied in my heart, although it is a Jade Buddha, I feel that it is also very good.

"That's right, reward the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Whoo."

"Who ordered this to happen."

Anxi's heart was troubled, he didn't use much blood jade, and he made a piece of Buddha, and he didn't know if it was in line with the holy will.

"Return to the Holy Master's words, it is the servant's order."

The emperor looked at him, "You too."

Anxi heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled obsequiously on his face: "I thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

The emperor looked at the things but did not put them back into the wooden box, but held them in his hands and played with them.

Anxi couldn't figure out what he meant, but she didn't say much.

The emperor said: "Bring Wei Qi here tonight."

"Hey." Anxi now knew what the majesty was up to.

However, it was just around the time of You, and before Xu time, he turned over the sign and waited for the lucky person. This thing was to be given out on the couch.

An Xi was a little surprised, feeling that his master had been quite flirtatious recently.

This is a good thing, it just so happens that Wei Qi has also changed shifts and is not present at the moment.

Wei Qi was supposed to keep watch tonight, but he couldn't do it now.

Fortunately, the Holy Majesty, he is currently lying in the inner court prison and preparing.

According to reports, it has been more than ten days since I came back, so Wei Qi had to suffer a lot today to get it right.

At four quarters of Xu time (eight o'clock in the evening), in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The emperor was sitting on the head of the bed, flipping through the "Lunheng" in his left hand, but there was a piece of blood jade in his right hand.

The thin black rope on the top hangs down from the wide palm, sticking to his slightly undulating arm and burying it all the way into the bright yellow obscene clothes.

When Wei Qi came, the camel concubine and the eunuch withdrew.

The emperor is as immovable as a mountain.

Wei Qi was a bit unfamiliar with not climbing the dragon couch for a while.

The emperor let him toss and turn, his eyes were fixed on the scroll, and he didn't seem to be very eager.

Wei Qi finally got out of the brocade quilt, his forehead was covered with sweat from the heat.

The emperor did not detain him as usual, but still read his book.

Wei Qi was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

The emperor turned a page of the book, and Wei Qi shook.

Finally got up some courage and said: "My lord..."

The emperor looked away from the book, raised his eyelids to look at him, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't speak.

Wei Qi didn't dare to stare at him, lowered his eyes, but he got the wrong idea.

He retracted and crawled inside again.

The emperor looked at his little head, and smiled on it which he couldn't see.Throw away the book and drag the person up again.

Fingertips caressed his lips.

Wei Qi's face was flushed, he knew that he was stupid again.
