Imperial City

A few days ago, the emperor's younger brother, King Xian'an, went to the palace to face the saint after returning to Beijing from Jiangnan, and presented many new gadgets to the emperor.

That evening, in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor had some free time and thought of flipping through the scrolls and albums sent by King Xian'an.

It's just that the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He frowned and closed the album wrapped in exquisite dark blue tissue paper, knowing that his little brother had messed up again.

It's outrageous to actually send the picture of Longyang's erotic palace to the imperial court.

The emperor threw the thing away and went to rest on the couch.

It's just that something was wrong during the daytime the next day.

He sat crookedly on the throne with water ripples and cloud patterns, poked his head and looked at the book, when he suddenly heard a faint fragrance coming from beside him.

The emperor raised his head and glanced there casually, and what he saw was a beautiful and fair profile.

When did someone change? There are still such young servants in the Qing Palace

The emperor silently looked at the person in front of him, and saw that his eyebrows were lowered, his nose bridge was high, his nose was small and delicate, his lips were full, and his color was bright red, which was a good color.

It's not bad.Thinking of this, the emperor followed the man's arm hidden in the blue-gray satin to his palm.

The fingers are also slender, with well-defined joints but not too thick, holding the blue and white porcelain teacup, dazzling white eyes.

The emperor lost his mind a little and remembered the picture of Longyang last night.

His eyes turned back to the notebook, but he felt a little strange in his heart, as if he had been moved by someone.

That night in the Xinuan Pavilion, before Zhao Xing's concubines came, the emperor sat on the dragon couch, and suddenly asked: "Anxi, who is the servant serving tea in the study room in the white room today?"

Anxi, the chief steward of the imperial court, returned: "Your Majesty, the slave you mentioned is Wei Qi. Wei Qi was originally an errand on the first floor outside. Because the one in front of him made a mistake, the slave brought him to the imperial court."

The emperor just hummed, Anxi hesitated, and then asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, Wei Qi has been on duty for a while, but what happened to make you unhappy?"

There's nothing wrong with it.The emperor said in his heart, it's very good, it's pleasing to the eye.

"Just look at Yansheng."

Anxi felt relieved and wanted to save some face for Wei Qi in front of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, you are always busy, and you must have forgotten that this slave was originally from the ancestor's palace. You saw him clever three years ago, so you asked the ancestor for it."

"Oh." The emperor really didn't remember this incident.

He was a little interested and wanted to continue listening, but at this moment, the camel concubine and eunuch came to carry someone, so he stopped there.

In fact, this is nothing at all. The emperor is not the kind of monarch who likes to try new things. All men and women have to try it.So he didn't take it to heart after asking.

The next day when he returned from the court, Yujia went to the inner study, where the servant named Wei Qi was still serving tea from yesterday.

The emperor saw him standing behind the throne with his head bowed, standing upright, as green and tender as a young bamboo.Compared with other people, it is really a bit conspicuous, so I glanced twice more for a while.

He went straight to the throne and sat down, the tea in the teacup by his hand was still warm.

The emperor took a sip and asked, "What kind of tea is served?"

He suddenly made a sound, and Wei Qi was startled. This was the first time he was questioned by the Holy Majesty since he was transferred to the inner study.

It's just that the Holy Majesty should be able to taste it, or is it that today's tea is not good?

"The words of the Holy Majesty, it is Longjing." Wei Qi took a step forward, and answered very cautiously, not daring to say more.

But the emperor thought: the voice is also good, clear and pleasant.He just kept his head down, unable to see the whole picture.

"You're new to the tune and you're very familiar." His voice was low and soothing.

An Xi stood on the other side, feeling very strange in his heart: Didn't the Holy Majesty just ask last night why this incident happened again.

"Returning to the Holy One, the servant Wei Qi was promoted to the front of the imperial court half a month ago, and he was originally in the warehouse of the inner courtyard."

Not flattering, not flustered.

The emperor felt that this slave was young but knew the rules.

He hummed and didn't ask any more questions.

Wei Qi backed away silently, but his palms and back were already wet with sweat.

During the daytime on the third day, the emperor passed by the inner study and was heading towards the outer courtyard, when he saw Wei Qi coming out with a set of tea sets.

Several servants saluted and said hello.

The emperor stopped somehow.

Wei Qi held the tea set steady, bowed and said in a low voice, "My lord, Da'an."

"Wei Qi." An extremely natural voice.

Wei Qi didn't know that the emperor was calling him.

"Ah" He raised his eyes, meeting the eyes of the emperor.

"The tea soup has been spilled." The emperor said slowly.

Wei Qi was taken out of his wits by his gaze, and immediately panicked.The things he was holding so well and steadily fell to the ground in an instant.

The emperor just thought at this moment: Sure enough, the eyes are born well.

He lifted his foot and left, leaving the flustered people stunned in place not knowing what the emperor meant.

Two hours later, the emperor returned from Shoukang Palace and went straight to the inner study.

Anxi had no choice but to ask someone to bring the clothes to the inner study.

Several personal servants in front of the imperial court were changing clothes for the emperor behind the screen.

Wei Qi and the others stood outside waiting for orders.

The eunuch who put on the emperor's boots knelt on the ground, moving a little slowly.

"Change to someone who is young and quick." The emperor frowned and said to An Xi.

"Yes, the slave is at fault, it's the slave's negligence." An Xi hurriedly pleaded guilty, and then called out, "Wei Qi."

Wei Qi responded and walked over.

"Put on the boots for the saint."

"Whoo."

Wei Qi knelt halfway, held the emperor's feet on his lap, stretched out his short black low boots, and slipped them on in an instant.

He swung the complicated buttons on the boots one by one, his movements were gentle and fast.

"It's quick, I've done it before"

The emperor looked down at his slender waist and slender legs hidden in the wide hem.And the upturned buttocks that can be seen faintly with his movements.

The emperor felt that he was led astray by the picture of Longyang's erotic palace.

"Returning to you, this servant had the honor to serve you when I was in Shoukang Palace."

"Hmm" the emperor became interested.

"One time, shortly after you first came to the throne three years ago, there was a sudden heavy rain in summer. You got wet and came to Shoukang Palace to change."

Wei Qi replied in a low voice while moving, "There was another time when you got married four years ago, and the slaves adjusted your clothes and hats before the grand ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

The emperor was surprised.

This slave probably likes me, remember so clearly.

Wei Qi had no idea that his good memory had brought him endless troubles.

With a tinge of joy, the emperor made an unimportant decision.

Dongnuan Pavilion at night.

This time no concubines were called.

The emperor sat on the Arhat bed and read idle books.

He suddenly asked Anxi: "Anxi, let me ask you, who do you think is the most beautiful born in this Qianqing Palace?"

Although An Xi was surprised, he didn't understand that the Holy Majesty suddenly asked about this today, but he still replied flatteringly: "If you go back to Master, you are naturally the most beautiful born! I am afraid that there will be no one in the world who can match you." You compare."

"What kind of tricks are you playing, you old bastard, you know exactly what I mean."

"Back to Lord Long Live, the servant has been wronged, and I dare not play any tricks in front of you! The servant is the most sincere.

Whatever you think in your heart, you say it out of your mouth quickly.Offended the master, and asked the master to come down. "

"Come on, tell me the truth."

"Going back to Lord Long Live, I personally feel that if I ask who is the most beautiful among the maids and slaves in this palace, it must be Wei Qi."

"Hmm...Wei Qi." The emperor pondered, "I feel the same way."

"My master is wise!"

"Since Wei Qi has been mentioned, what is the current year of this servant?"

"Returning to the Holy One, Wei Qi is now seventeen years old."

"It's still a little smaller." The emperor whispered.

An Xi heard His Majesty's tone, and thought that Wei Qi was going to be promoted, thought for a while, and said: "Although he is a little younger, he can't be calmer.

Looking at the seventeen on the face, it seems that the words and deeds are standing upright. "

"Heh." The Holy Majesty seemed to think of something, and chuckled lightly.

"A few days ago, King Anyu presented a copy of Longyang Spring Palace and Zhen. I have nothing to do, so I glanced at it for a while, and it was quite interesting."

Anxi's heart thumped when she heard this, she only thought that she wanted to go wrong, she was going to suffer, she was going to suffer.

He broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, and lowered his head, not daring or wanting to look at the Holy Majesty.

Seeing that Anxi didn't reply, the emperor said in a low voice, "Anxi."

Shocked and anxious, Anxi knelt down hastily, sweating profusely.

"The servant is here." He replied tremblingly, and raised his head to look at the emperor.

But the emperor just waited for him to see.

At this moment, she looked down at him from a high position without saying a word, but the deep meaning in her eyes made people dare not think about it.

After watching like this for a while, the emperor said calmly, "You have been with me for so many years."

The meaning in the words is that you should know what I think in my heart.

Anxi had no choice but to answer: "Hey, I will definitely handle this matter well."

"Well, step back." The emperor closed his eyes, still read the book, and played with the dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist.
