Tyrant's "stand-in" shadow guard

The Cihan palace people left the incense, and Nanny Ming beckoned the servants to enter the palace again. Seeing the Empress Dowager leaning lightly on the short couch, her brows seemed tired, she couldn't help but softly stepped forward, put her hands on both sides of the Empress Dowager's head, and gently rubbed with.

"Ma'am, do you want to order another stove?"

The queen mother waved her hand lightly: "Forget it, if the emperor doesn't like it, then he will do as he wishes."

Nanny Ming's eyes moved slightly: "Mother, why bother? The old slave said something disrespectful. Your Majesty has a young heart, and that little general Song is a handsome man who is hard to find in a hundred families. It is relatively inevitable to fall in love day and night, but now thousands of miles away. Yao, no matter how long the love is, forced by the family and the country, how can it last long?"

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes slightly, feeling the soft yet firm massage on the side of her head, her brows and eyes gradually stretched: "Why don't you follow the example of those who have long ears and broken mouths, and heard some nonsense."

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but the way His Majesty treated the shadow guards around you yesterday, the old servant looked at it, it doesn't look like it's just a joke."

"Oh?"

"The appearance of this shadow guard is unremarkable, but when His Majesty first selected him, he intentionally let him be the shadow to protect little general Song Qi, so he imitated it for a long time. Now, looking at the back of that figure, he is exactly like him. .”

No one doubts the relationship between Ying Qi and Song Qi. In the battle of Huangkou, Song Qi's identity as an orphan of the Southern Chu royal family suddenly broke out without any warning. It is the Southern Chu royal family. Dragon patterns will suddenly appear everywhere to show the royal blood.

Song Qi was in the weak crown, at that time on the battlefield, the dragon pattern on his face suddenly appeared, and was suddenly seen by General Nan Chu, that's when something happened.

Once the dragon pattern appears, it will accompany it for life and cannot be eliminated by external force. After that, it will be regarded as the blood of the dragon and admired by all people.

This was another reason why Nan Chu was determined to exchange Song Qi back.

Nanny Ming thought of Ying Qi she saw outside the Zhunti Palace early in the morning, and shook her head in her heart. Even though the back looks similar, but that unattractive face is far from Song Qi's.

But she still comforted the Empress Dowager: "There is no such thing as far water and near thirst. It is just right for His Majesty to have such a substitute by his side."

The Empress Dowager didn't like the Emperor, so she didn't interfere too much with the Emperor's liking for masculinity, even if it wasn't for the fact that Song Qi was too aggressive in the court, she might have acquiesced to the two of them in the first place.

"Shut up." The Empress Dowager said in a low voice, but her tone was not angry: "It seems that this palace is a bit more relaxed here, and you are all raised so that even the emperor and the emperor and the political affairs of foreign courts dare to talk about it."

Nanny Ming hurriedly backed away, pleading guilty and begging for mercy.

The queen mother waved her hand: "Back off, I'm resting."

"Yes."

The room was cold and cold, and the Empress Dowager Tuliu was fascinated by the misty cigarettes. The naive child who could see through it at a glance was finally full-fledged, and people couldn't even guess what was going on in her mind.

After taking the appointment badge, Yingqi went to the supervisor of Zhunti Palace to get the appointment paperwork.The Shadow Guard Battalion and the Zhunti Palace formed their own system, and the director was also the resigned inner court guard, responsible for all matters of the inner court guard and the Zhunti Palace's Zhunwei who had not been promoted to shadow guards.

Because the six guards of the inner court often came to the Zhunti Palace to help train those guards, so they made friends with him, Ying Yi greeted them, and Ying Qi went over to easily receive the documents, without giving any money.

But if he really wanted to give it, apart from the jade pendant around his neck, he wouldn't be able to give a penny.

Opening the employment documents, I saw the monthly salary in it at a glance, which was a hundred taels. Ying Qi didn't have much idea about money, thought it was pretty good, and heaved a sigh of relief.

That day he lost Ying Liu's album, and heard that it was very expensive and sold in limited quantities, so he kept it in his mind and wanted to return Ying Liu, but he had to shelve his idea because he was penniless.

On the day of watching Ying Liu, he looked unlovable, and he should be very fond of this book. Although he couldn't understand it, he decided that when he got a monthly salary, he would go there himself to buy a few copies for the other party to make amends.

However, when he looked carefully, he found that no one was on duty with him. Within a month, there was only one day off.He remembered that the six guards of the inner court had a three-day rest, and they could ask for leave if they had something to do.

Ying Qi pursed her lips.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, the thin and long-faced steward couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?"

Shadow Seven shook his head.

The steward took two gift money from Ying Yi Ying Liu in advance, although I don't know how Ying Yi, who has always been cheap, and Ying Liu, who is a money fan, would be willing to do so for an outsider, but for the sake of money, he has a special affection for Ying Qi. favor.

Seeing that he didn't speak at this time, they decided to go up to read his appointment papers. They didn't know about this before it was opened. After all, the shadow guards were the emperor's personal guards, and they didn't care where they went.

He glanced at it and wondered, "Why don't you have a day off?"

After taking a closer look, I finally saw a line of small characters in the corner: "Oh, there will be a day at the end of the month."

Seeing that Ying Qi's complexion turned bad when he said this, he hurriedly said haha, looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Don't panic, although the emperor has been going to Yulin Palace a little more recently, but that's it. Go sit around during the day, and stay in the Huangji Hall at night." He winked his eyes, "You are free, much better than Ying Liu and the others who are on duty at night."

Ying Qisou understood what he meant, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. The military order was like a mountain, how could it be such a joke?In his position, it is natural to stick to his post and do his duty.

But he didn't say anything, and left after thanking the other party.

After Ying Qi left, the steward stroked his chin and wondered if the emperor really liked this one?Why is the monthly salary given as if it is not money? 100 taels, which is equivalent to the salary of a fifth-rank official. Even if he is a servant of the Yulin Palace, he shouldn't be an inner court guard who doesn't even rely on a false title!

Today Wuchao went to the Empress Dowager to invite An back. Li Xingjin did not go to the Mingxin Hall to review the memorials as usual. He hesitated for a moment and walked to the Yulin Hall.

Seeing that Eunuch Li and all the servants behind him followed suit, he said impatiently, "Everyone step down!"

Eunuch Li was not surprised, he hurriedly retreated, and left with a group of people behind him.

Ever since the former emperor tried his best to build the shadow guard battalion, their Ministry of Internal Affairs began to decline slowly. When they came to the emperor, because of that incident, they didn't like the internal servants to be close to them. Everything was used to shadow guards, especially that He used to be the deputy commander of the shadow guard, and the emperor was accompanied by him, and he would not call others.

Over time, everyone got used to it.

The Yulin Hall is located in the northeast of the Huangji Hall, separated by the Yunhua Pond, which is always warm in all seasons, from which it flows into the two halls for washing, which is very convenient.

Because of the Yunhua Pond, the road was built at the northernmost point, bypassing the Yunhua Pond and spreading directly along the palace wall, connecting to the longitudinal corridor in the northwest of Yulin Hall, walking all the way, you can meet Yulin Hall The west gate and the gate of the main hall.

For convenience, Li Xingjin entered directly from the west gate, but saw no one. After thinking for a while, he walked through the main hall of the hall to the main hall gate, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure standing straight in front of the door.

Seeing him standing there so stupidly, Li Xingjin couldn't help laughing.

Laughter came from behind, Ying Qi knew who it was without looking, and quickly turned around and knelt down: "Join Your Majesty."

"Get up," Li Xingjin said to the idiot who was kneeling on the ground knowing that he couldn't speak, "the six guards of the inner court don't need to kneel down when they see me, you will serve Yulin Palace, one rank higher than the six guards, don't do this in the future. "

Yingqi stood up and saluted blessings.

Without the obtrusive mask, Li Xingjin looked at Ying Qi and saw that even though he tried his best to tense his face, he still couldn't hide his restraint, and his fingers moved slightly, but he didn't move any more.

"Come with me for breakfast."

There are not many maidservants in Yulin Palace, counting them in detail, there are no more than ten in the hall, and they all stand quietly with their heads bowed, hidden in an inconspicuous place, not like Ying Qi thought, serving the emperor with him.

Now after hearing what the emperor said, only a few people bowed silently and retreated. Looking at the direction, they should have gone to the backyard.

After a while, a meal was brought up, five meat and three vegetables, all light food, except for one dish, red oil topped noodles, covered with old sauce, a bit greasy.

Ying Qi stood by the table, smelling the aroma of the sauce, and felt a faint sense of resistance in his heart.

In the next second, he was pressed on the stool: "I don't like to be watched by others when eating, so we eat together."

Ying Qi's face was tangled, and she was about to turn over and kneel down, but she paused again remembering what the emperor said earlier, and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not."

With a crisp sound of "ding", the silver chopsticks knocked on the printed porcelain plate, Li Xingjin looked at the dishes on the table, and said casually: "Then don't eat it, it's all taken away."

When the words fell, the well-trained maid came forward and was about to withdraw the offer.

Ying Qi's heart skipped a beat twice: "Your Majesty! Your subordinate... I will obey the holy orders."

Li Xingjin let out a "huh" without letting go, and said lazily: "Why do I feel that Ying Qi seems to have eaten earlier? Don't force yourself if you're not hungry."

The maid took up a plate of vegetarian pills.

"No!" Ying Qi Aiqi sat back on the stool, picked up the silver chopsticks bravely, looked up at the emperor, saw that the other party had a half smile on his face, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "This subordinate hasn't eaten yet,... ...very hungry."

"Eat," Li Xingjin coughed lightly, and personally put the meat dish topped with red oil into his bowl, and said slowly, "This is your favorite...Try this, I like it the most, When it suits your taste."

Ying Qi held his breath and didn't dare to refuse. After eating it, he felt a greasy taste rushing straight to his taste buds. After a long day of recuperation, his stomach that had a light diet was suddenly stimulated, and suddenly it was overwhelmed. He frowned secretly, swallowing hard down.

He didn't know why, but he always felt as if he had eaten the pork in red sauce so many times that he was extremely tired.

He learned to be good, and tentatively put the meat in front of the emperor: "If your majesty likes it, your subordinates should give in."

Li Xingjin was startled, as if countless pictures flashed before his eyes.

"Your Highness likes it, Nanzhen will bring it next time, I have already used it in the mansion, so don't eat it."

"Your Majesty likes it, and Nan Zhen should give in."

"Your Majesty likes it, Nanzhen..."

"I'm so big, can Ying Qi know why?"

Shadow Seven fell silent.

Ying Liu told him that during the time of the first emperor, the queen, who is now the empress dowager's son-in-law, was foolish and cruel, and his majesty was made the crown prince. However, the former emperor died early, and his relatives deceived his majesty when he was young, and he was in charge of the regency. Years have their days.In the deep palace, the filth is unknown, and no one can imagine how the little emperor, who was only a child in school, would drink ice for ten years, and once thunder strikes, he almost wants to overthrow the entire dynasty and his relatives, and regain the imperial power.

But thinking about it, even with the support of the generals, the emperor's teachers and other civil servants, the young emperor's early days were like walking on thin ice, and the habit of eating big meat may have been formed at that time.

How could royal political affairs be discussed at will, Ying Qi dared not speak.

"Because there is one person, from the top to the weakest crown, who has eaten with me thousands of times."

"Ying Qi, I hope that you can accompany me instead of him."
