There's A Beauty

The magistrate of Qipin impeached the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials. Looking at the history of the Dayong Kingdom for a hundred years, it was still the first one, and it was heard as soon as the report was made, which made the officials even more unbelievable.Before that, no matter what, they would never have imagined that Master Liu, who was once so famous, would be tripped by a small official.

It can be seen from this that the new emperor has not moved the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households not because he is afraid of pressure from officials, but because he is looking for opportunities.When the evidence is conclusive, who would dare to defend Mr. Liu?The emperor has already said that the rule of officials is the foundation of controlling the country, and the government of officials is corrupt, and the country will perish. Those who intercede for Mr. Liu are the pushers of the country's subjugation, sinners through the ages.If this big hat is buckled down, not to mention civil and military officials, even the emperor's relatives and relatives will be afraid.

Who doesn't want to leave a name in history?Who would dare to leave a bad smell for thousands of years?Let Master Liu figure out a way for himself.

The county magistrate of Zhao, who had the courage to directly report the country's disadvantages, was sitting in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace with anxiety and joy.Because his impeachment of Minister of the Ministry of Officials was in the hands of the new emperor, so after he dismissed the court, he was invited by the new emperor to stay for dinner.

The once resplendent palace has now removed the luxurious veils, bead curtains and antique furnishings. It looks quite empty and simple, but it still has an awe-inspiring atmosphere.The new emperor sat at the head seat and extended his hand to invite, "Outai, Magistrate Zhao, please take a seat."

One calls his name directly, while the other calls his official position. It is clear at a glance who is distant and who is close.Youshu felt very sad, the dimples on the side of her cheeks faded, she entered the seat cautiously, staring at a jade lamp by her hand in silence.The new emperor did not talk to him, but called Ou Tai to his side and asked him about the inspection in detail.

By the time the palace servants set the meal, three quarters of an hour had passed without knowing it.Wei Chen seemed to see Xiao Zhao's predicament, and said with a light smile, "Nowadays, there is nothing to do, and the emperor insists on frugality, and the daily meal is only two meat, three vegetables and one soup. I know Mr. Zhao has a very good life in office. Qingku, this is a dish specially ordered by the emperor to be added to the imperial dining room, do you think it suits your taste?"

There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, including chicken, duck and fish, all of which Youshu liked.His dim eyes shone slightly, and he looked more lively.Mingli was talking to Outai, but the new emperor who had been watching him out of the corner of his eye finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Ou Tai joked, "This minister is honored by Zhao County Magistrate today, otherwise the emperor only needs two plates of vegetables and tofu to get rid of him."

You Shu, who still had a smile in her eyes, froze, and her mood fell to the bottom in an instant.If Outai hadn't said anything, he would not have noticed that the emperor deliberately added a few dishes to entertain him. It seemed very courteous, but it was because of not being close enough.If it is to the extent that there is no distinction between each other, where is the need for hospitality?He eats what he eats, just like Outai, and he can handle two plates of vegetables and tofu.

Even knowing that the master has changed his identity and cannot be equated with the person in his previous life, Youshu still feels sad. For some reason, she thinks of King Yama who accompanied her all the way.Right now, he really needs an empty but extremely safe embrace, so that he can take a breath when he is tired, and he can rest assured when he is confused.Before he knew it, the other party seemed to have become his backbone, and if he didn't see it, his heart would be at a loss.

The new emperor noticed that the county magistrate Xiao Zhao was in a low mood, and he raised his heart just after letting go, racking his brains to think about what he did wrong.

"Magistrate Zhao, but the food is not to your taste?" He asked in a deep voice.

Youshu quickly glanced at the new emperor and shook her head slightly.The master of this life should be a very ruthless person. He had heard about it when he was in Lishui. This master had a nickname in the feudal domain—Living Yan Luo, who killed all foreign enemies and showed no mercy to corrupt officials. , When he came to the throne, he ransacked his family and exterminated his family, rectified the government, and never relented, making all civil and military officials fear him like a tiger.

Youshu naturally wanted to get her master back quickly, but she also needed to grasp a certain degree.If he is too eager, it will inevitably cause him to misunderstand, and then he will be treated coldly. At least he will be sent to another place, and at worst he will be dismissed from office and never hired.If you become a commoner, you will be hopeless in your life if you want to contact this high-ranking person again.

You Shu didn't feel that with her master for two lifetimes, the master became her own for granted.You know, every reincarnation is a brand new beginning, the master is not a puppet, he has his own thoughts and ideas, he also has the right and room to choose, he can fall in love with anyone, not necessarily himself.

Thinking of this, his heart throbbed violently, but he was also full of fighting spirit.

Seeing the hunched-backed magistrate Zhao, like a green bamboo bent to the extreme, suddenly rebound, straighten, and refreshed, the new emperor was even more puzzled, but he also felt a little relieved.He always felt that the magistrate Xiaozhao seemed to be a different person when facing himself in the mortal world, very elusive.In the past, he could guess the other party's thoughts eighty-nine times, but now he is like falling into the clouds and doesn't know.

In order to ease the atmosphere, he had no choice but to invite everyone to have a meal, because County Magistrate Xiao Zhao would never leave sad things until after the meal.He will have a big meal when he feels sad; he will have a big meal when he is angry and fearful; he will also have a big meal when he is happy.

Youshu ate a piece of braised pork ribs, squinting her eyes for a moment and forgetting all the troubles before.He really wanted to move to the master's side to prepare vegetables for him, and slowly cultivate a little relationship, but everyone upheld the rule of "no talking when eating, no talking when sleeping", so he could only keep silent.

On the other hand, Wei Chen was very caring, seeing him staring at the dishes in the distance, he would take the initiative to help pick them up, but he didn't speak, just smiled.Everyone has already adapted to this dull atmosphere, it can be seen that the new emperor is indeed a serious and rigid person, and he is extremely difficult to get along with.

Youshu is depressed for a while, confused for a while, and high-spirited for a while. Her mood can be said to be ups and downs, and she is sad and happy at first.However, he didn't know that his face had already betrayed his inner emotions completely, his brows were furrowed and loosened, his lips were pursed and pursed, and his cheeks were bulging and sunken, looking extremely funny.

Outai just glanced twice and couldn't hold back anymore, buried his face in the bowl, and laughed silently.He was very curious about what Xiao Zhao County Magistrate was thinking, and why his expression was so wonderful?

Also curious is Emperor Xuanguang, but his current personality is frosty, serious and rigid, the taciturn new emperor, so he can only bear it.To be honest, Youshu was completely different in front of King Yama and in front of the new emperor, and I don't know what caused the change.Emperor Xuanguang has always known that Youshu is not such a scheming person, let alone a double-faced and sycophant. There must be a reason for his abnormal behavior.

Youshu didn't know that she was being treated like a monkey. She was chewing rice with her cheeks puffed out, and realized that there was a serious problem when she realized that the food in hand was almost finished.After the meal, the master should kick him out, right?The time to get together should be over, right?Will it be too short?

He is now the seventh-rank Zhima official. After the debriefing and rating, he may be released or stay in the capital, but even if he is reused, it is impossible to directly rise to the fourth rank, and then have the qualification to go to the court.In other words, after reuniting with the master today, I don't know how long it will be until we see each other. If you miss one glance, you will feel worried.

The good appetite suddenly disappeared, but Youshu couldn't put down the dishes.He must eat, eat slowly, try to prolong the meal as long as possible.

Emperor Xuanguang clearly felt the salivating gaze cast by Xiao Zhao county magistrate, as if he was some kind of delicacies from mountains and seas, enough to accompany the meal.To put it more bluntly, that gaze was even a little affectionate, which was hard to resist.Emperor Xuanguang didn't show his face, but his heart was beating rapidly. He told himself again and again that it was an illusion. The county magistrate Xiao Zhao had a pure personality, not to mention deliberate seduction, because he didn't even know what it was like to like someone. Qi Nian suppressed it.

Outai and Wei Chen also noticed that the air was heating up, but they pretended not to know about it.

In order to delay time, You Shu even put the chicken and duck feet in the bowl, and gnawed them slowly until a bare skeleton was found.Outai had already put down the bowls and chopsticks to wait, and Emperor Xuanguang was slowly sipping from a wine glass in order not to embarrass Xiao Zhao County Magistrate.Seeing that he had finished the fourth bowl of rice, Wei Chen quickly asked, "Master Zhao, do you want another bowl?"

Youshu wanted to nod, but when she realized that the food had reached her throat, she shook her head quickly, only then realized that she had left a gluttonous impression on her master, her cheeks flushed, her eyes watered, and she seemed about to cry.

Emperor Xuanguang asked in a deep voice, "Magistrate Zhao, are you feeling unwell?" Only those who are close to him will notice that there is a bit of anxiety and worry on his rigid face.

Youshu clutched her belly and said, "It's a waste of food to report to the emperor. I accidentally ate too much." Fortunately, he was very resourceful and found a good excuse, which dilutes the image of a glutton.

Emperor Xuanguang let go of his high-hanging heart, nodded and said, "That's it. Wei Chen, go to the imperial hospital to ask for some pills to help digestion. Nowadays, the people of Dayong still can't get enough to eat. As the lord of a country, I shouldn't be extravagant." Waste. County magistrate Zhao is really determined to set an example." Hua Luo looked at Outai, waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can leave first, magistrate Zhao has a stomachache, so stay here for a while."

Outai is a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person, so he bowed and left quickly.

Youshu, who was still shrouded in a cloud, immediately stopped the cloud and the rain, and the sky was clear.He never expected that there would be such benefits if he was full of food, and he could stay alone with his master.This is a mistake, a wrong attack.He was very happy in his heart, and the dimples on the side of his cheeks were also faintly visible.

Emperor Xuanguang wondered uncertainly: Are you happy?How can you be happy after eating too much?Maybe I don't know County Magistrate Zhao as well as I thought?

He helped him to the side hall with his own hands, and placed him in the reclining chair. He pretended to have a long conversation, "Where is the ancestral home of County Magistrate Zhao?"

"Back to the emperor, this humble minister is from the capital."

"Where do you want to go this time? Sending out or staying in Beijing?"

Youshu naturally wanted to stay in the capital, but was worried that the master had other arrangements, so she said in a muffled voice, "But at the emperor's disposal. Whatever the emperor asks me to do, I can do whatever I want. Wherever I want to send my minister, I can go wherever I want. For the sake of the emperor, this humble minister is willing to go through fire and water and die."

Every word and every word of his came from the bottom of his heart, with sincere emotion, and a pair of dark eyes looked straight at him, which made Emperor Xuanguang have the illusion that he was his whole world.However, an illusion is an illusion. Emperor Xuanguang knows Youshu better than anyone else. He is a typical person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. He looks cute and docile, but he is actually extremely guarded.

This also highlights the weirdness of the situation.According to Youshu's neither humble nor overbearing, straightforward and dull character, she really can't do things like flattering and flattering.So the question is, what is he thinking now?Do you really admire me?Emperor Xuanguang was quite confused, and it was even more difficult to resist Youshu, who was so enthusiastic and sweet-mouthed, so he had to change the subject stiffly.

"I have been waiting in Beijing for more than half a month, how do you pass the time on weekdays?"

You Shu never lied in front of her master.He recalled it carefully, his cheeks slowly flushed, and he murmured, "It's just eating, sleeping, and playing, but I didn't do much." If time could go back, he would study hard every day, so that the master would be impressed.

That's right, this is the Youshu I know, who doesn't lie or lie, and talks about things.Emperor Xuanguang nodded secretly, and continued to ask, "What did you play?"

If it were someone else, he would definitely round up the words, and then flaunt how hardworking he is.But Youshu was too sincere, knowing it was wrong but still biting the bullet and said, "My Majesty, I like to play with bugs, so I catch beetles, fight crickets and so on."

Sure enough, he didn't know how to lie, and even dared to speak out about this little hobby in front of the emperor.Emperor Xuanguang laughed secretly in his heart, wishing he could pull County Magistrate Zhao over and rub him twice.

Youshu regretted it. If she had known that her master would inquire about her movements these days, she shouldn't have stayed to eat. However, she shouldn't have lied to her master, so she could only ask and answer, and say what she had.Half an hour later, he wiped the cold sweat from his brow and left the Qing Palace. He returned home and sat by the window, sometimes laughing silly, sometimes scratching his ears and cheeks, with a very tangled expression.

King Yan Luo appeared at this moment, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Youshu has long been used to the other party's sudden temptation, pretending that she didn't notice it.He has to find a way to stay in the capital now, so that he can have a chance to meet his master. If he is released outside, he will not be able to come back for at least three to five years.Whether it is long or short in three to five years, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?By the way, master is 25 and six this year, right?Has there been a queen concubine?Thinking of this, he felt as if he had eaten a whole lemon, his face was wrinkled, and his heart was even more sour.

Seeing that he refused to talk to him, King Yan Luo didn't just pass it off with a smile like in the past. Instead, he stretched out his hand and squeezed his cheek hard, "What are you thinking? His face is wrinkled into a little old man." I met him once in reality. Afterwards, he found that he was becoming more and more unable to guess Xiao Zhao County Magistrate's thoughts. This feeling was extremely bad, and he had to make up for it.

Youshu's slightly fattened cheeks were pulled out of shape, teardrops hung on her eyelashes and trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be fine.

King Yan Luo was confused by him, and the other hand covered his cheeks, "Don't pretend to be stupid, I always know that you have yin and yang eyes."

Sure enough, I know!Youshu couldn't tell whether it was more nervous and fearful, or more relieved, so she quickly patted the back of his hand and said vaguely, "Let go, can't I stop pretending?"

"Are you entering the palace today?" Yan Luo Wang squeezed his soft cheeks, and then let go.The two of them traveled all the way, and they have already cultivated a lot of tacit understanding. Even if the fact that they can see each other has just been exposed, they get along very easily and casually.

Youshu didn't answer and asked instead, "Has the emperor established a concubine?" For a seventh-rank sesame official, the emperor's harem is as far away as a myth and legend. He didn't bother to inquire before, and others even Will not talk about it casually.

"Why do you ask this? Did you see Emperor Xuanguang today? How do you feel?" Yan Luowang's eyes flickered slightly, showing a trace of nervousness inadvertently.

Youshu, however, had something on her mind, so she didn't notice it, so she asked stubbornly, "Is the emperor married?"

"What does it matter to you whether he is married or not?"

Youshu lowered her head, a bright blush slowly spread from her ears to her neck, her hands subconsciously grasped the jade pendant around her waist, and repeatedly pulled the silk ribbon under it.This picture of the little girl's behavior is very abnormal, which made Yan Luo Wang instantly comprehend, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that you... have any thoughts about Emperor Xuanguang?"

So, this is the reason for his frequent gaffes today?Thinking about it now, his various behaviors are like a young man eager to please his sweetheart, showing a bit of embarrassment and eagerness.However, he only met Emperor Xuanguang once, but he accompanied him through thousands of rivers and mountains. Even if he likes him, he should like himself first!

Knowing that Emperor Xuanguang belonged to the same person as himself, King Yan Luo couldn't help but asked, "What do you like about him? Power? Status? Appearance? Is it too superficial?" Of course, what surprised him most was County magistrate Xiao Zhao actually likes men, which caused him to worry for a long time in vain.If he had known this, he should have done it when he was in Suichang County.

Youshu quickly defended, "Of course not. If you like it, you just like it. Is there any reason?"

"You guys just met once, right? Why did you fall in love? This king accompanied you all the way through mountains and rivers, why don't you like me?" King Yan Luo didn't know who he was angry with, anyway, he was very unhappy.

"Isn't the so-called ten thousand years the same?" Youshu struggled, "Thank you for your protection and company all the way, I am also very happy..." Before he finished speaking, he was startled: So this person's position in his heart , It's almost on par with the master.Even when he reunites with his master, he can't help thinking of him, and eagerly longs for his hug and comfort, even if the hug is illusory and the comfort is wordless.

What's wrong with me?How could he become half-hearted towards Qin Muchu?Youshu seemed to have been struck by lightning, she opened her mouth, unable to speak; she blinked, wanting to cry, with an embarrassed and guilty expression on her face.

King Yan Luo's gaze was like a torch, how could he fail to notice his abnormality, and revealed it with one sentence, "Could it be possible that you like this king too?" At this moment, he really didn't know what to say.This little thing not only likes himself in the mortal world, but also likes himself in the underworld. Should he be praised for his foresight, or should he be accused of being greedy?But no matter what, his sour mood has been completely diluted, and he has become both angry and funny.

Youshu would never admit that she was a half-hearted person, she blushed and waved her hands, "My liking for you is friendship, which is different." As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately convinced by himself, and nodded firmly, "Yes, it's friendship .You are my first friend, so it is very important."

Then why are you guilty?King Yan Luo didn't point it out, and continued following him, "So that's the case. In other words, you admit that your love for Emperor Xuanguang is a relationship between a man and a woman?"

Youshu nodded, with a look of lovelessness on her face.His mind didn't seem to be very bright in front of this person and his master, and he was always put in a cage after a few words.

"You are a minister, he is a king, so what if you like him?" King Yama continued to test.

"I can always pursue him slowly, right? What if one day I impress him?" Youshu's eyes were firm.He will never give up until the last moment. Even if the master is married in this life, he can still like him silently in his heart. Looking at it from a distance, isn't this a kind of happiness?

"You want to pursue him?" Yan Luowang's tone rose slightly. If the blindfold was removed, Youshu would find that his current expression showed three points of joy, three points of mischief, three points of anticipation, and one point of deep smile.He is used to being aloof, and he has never been enthusiastically pursued by anyone, so thinking about it already makes his heart itch.

"Hmm." Youshu murmured, thinking about something on her mind, "I have to find a way to stay in the capital now, so as to have a chance." As for what to do in the future, I can only take one step at a time and let nature take its course.

"Don't worry, your wish will come true." Yan Luo Wang rubbed his black hair and added, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that Emperor Xuanguang is not yet married and has no concubines. You still have a chance."

The boulder in her heart fell to the ground with a bang, and Youshu showed a frightened expression, leaned back in the chair, and slapped her chest repeatedly.

King Yan Luo realized that he could hardly restrain the joy in his heart, and the deep laughter had already played back and forth in his throat a few times, before he swallowed it abruptly.If he continued to talk to County Magistrate Zhao, he would definitely lose his composure on the spot.He has never met such a person, who looks smart, but is actually stupid, occasionally straightforward, and occasionally cautious, who looks the same for a while, but they are all lovable.In this way, he wanted to tease him more and more to see how he would pursue himself.

Pressing his fist to his lips and suppressing his full smile, King Yan Luo said in a hoarse voice, "There are still many official affairs to be dealt with in the underworld, this king will go ahead first."

Before Youshu had time to persuade her to stay, the tall figure of the man disappeared in front of her eyes.He looked around in a panic, and found that it was already dark, and the room was extremely dark, looking very cold and lonely, so he quickly took out the fire folder in the drawer and lit a candle.The candle flame was blown to and fro by the wind, and the light also flickered, which made him flustered in an instant.Will the person who was with you all night come again in the future?Do you think that you like Longyang and you are a different kind?Will you resent yourself?

He wanted to find a lampshade to surround the candles. As soon as he got up, he heard the ancestor report outside, "Master, the three members of the second bedroom family are here, and they are lying outside the gate now. Would you like to see them?"

Youshu, who was looking for something to do so as not to let her thoughts go wild, immediately waved, "Let them in."
