The king's apex spoils him and is reborn

When he was about 12 years old, Xiao Beichen dismissed the maids and nuns in the Qinghui Palace, and only the strong bodyguards were left to take care of all the rough and fine work in the palace.

After that, although there were no red flowers and green willows in the huge palace, the Xuelan Shutong adjacent to the palace was also elegant and pleasant enough.

Returning to the palace in a hurry in the morning, he didn't catch up with the morning meal, so Xiao Beichen used a lot for lunch.But he always felt that there should be someone on the opposite side of the seat.

"Busy and concealing things." After the bowls and chopsticks were removed, he couldn't help saying a few words to himself, and shook his head helplessly.It was time for Mo Yu to report something, so he cleaned his hands and went to the study next door.

"My lord, the Ministry of Officials has submitted the list of officials to be transferred. Your Majesty seems to be very satisfied." Mo Yu followed him, standing in front of the desk and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Beichen was slightly stunned, took the list that was copied, and after skimming a few pages, he said calmly: "In the past, the Ministry of Officials inspected officials according to the strict rules. Only when you are old can you have an epiphany, but some...you can show your brilliance and make achievements when you are young." Xiao Beichen's tone softened a lot after speaking.After speaking, he slowly frowned, realizing that his thoughts had drifted away.

Mo Yu almost realized the allusion in the words at the same time, suppressed a smile and pointed it out directly: "Is the master in General Kuaji?"

"So obvious?" Xiao Beichen raised his brows and eyes slightly, and asked neither sweet nor light.

Mo Yu: "Yes."

"Then let's boast clearly." At first, Xiao Beichen was surprised that he had deserted when he was talking about business, but now he said frankly, "When General Ji invited someone to make a fuss a few days ago, he had some opinions on the inspection system of officials. .My father has tasted that article, and I quite appreciate it."

"Now the Ministry of Officials can change the previous conservative policy and replace it with a method of selecting talents and appointing talents regardless of seniority, and treating nobles and poor families equally. This has already made great progress."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Beichen temporarily put the list aside, and said with a solemn expression, "However, this hall is still curious. The person who proposed this time... should be Song Zhengxiu. How did he convince those old and stubborn officials?"

Mo Yu nodded, "It is said that King Ning once pushed this move to the officials, and even brought out the emperor's intention."

"My father said that we can no longer be conservative, but he didn't say that we should be so radical." Xiao Beichen said indifferently.

"It seems that King Ning beheaded first and played later."

After a long pause, Xiao Beichen sighed leisurely: "It's really different."

Under the pressure of his mother and concubine not being favored since childhood, Xiao Mingxuan was cautious in everything.After the crown came out of the palace to build a mansion, he raised a group of diners to give advice.Correcting people's mistakes and spreading rumors has failed several times, but I have no idea, and I rarely enter the palace to meet the monarch face-to-face.

"It's okay, let them do it." Although he knew that these must be the interlocking plans of King Ning's party, Xiao Beichen didn't feel that he should hinder them now. After all, judging from the results, they did a good thing.

"Any news from Jiangnan?" Xiao Beichen regained his composure and asked about other matters.

Mo Yu solemnly asked, "Which side do you want to listen to first?"

"Song Zhengxiu."

"My subordinates found out that his ancestors were born in slavery in Huaizhou, and his father was the housekeeper of a famous local family. He redeemed himself with the money he earned from selling calligraphy and paintings more than ten years ago."

Xiao Beichen raised his hand to interrupt him, and asked, "Just for yourself?"

"Yes, Song Zhengxiu disappeared after he regained his good status, and he has never returned to Huaizhou. His father passed away two years ago, and the rich family arranged for a few people to send him to the funeral." Mo Yu replied.

This person's resume is nothing special, Xiao Beichen changed his mind, and pondered: "The famous family in Huaizhou..."

"That family's surname is Chu." Mo Yu added.Then he saw Xiao Beichen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly argued, "Master, although the queen's surname is Chu, she is from Lucheng."

Xiao Beichen smiled, shook his head and said, "I know, but I haven't heard of this surname for a long time." He paused, and slowly lowered his eyes, "Maybe it's been a long time since I went to the ancestral hall to worship." After saying this, it was a long time silence.

"Let's talk about another matter." Xiao Beichen resumed speaking.

Hearing this, Mo Yu was slightly serious, and lowered his voice: "My subordinates have confirmed that it is the family in Baizhou."

***

The weather in the afternoon is slightly dull, and there are first cicadas choking among the cascading branches.Ji Muqing stared at a large pile of food and clothing expenses in the palace and the books compiled by the palace people on the desk, and fell asleep after a while.

"Master Ji!" Suddenly a loud voice came from beside him, and he woke up instantly.

Su Lan, who was appointed by Xiao Tianze to be his aunt to teach, saw that he was not in a good mood at all, so she said earnestly: "Although there is only one concubine in the harem now, there are also court ladies and eunuchs assigned to the vacant bedrooms. More than ten thousand. In the future, new favorites will be added, and there will be more people to manage.”

Ji Muqing smiled, and said sincerely: "Aren't there still you, Aunt Su?"

"My servant is uncomfortable in a carriage now, and there are not many days left, so I can't help you for too long." Su Lan sighed, pinching her brows and said, "And when the crown prince succeeds, I may not ask my servant to take care of you."

"Don't worry, Aunt Su. This general also manages thousands of people in Nanya." Ji Muqing changed his approach.In the future, he should still be a general in the court, and most of the harem will be represented by others, but this meeting cannot explain this.

"How can a military camp be compared with a royal palace?" Su Lan's tone gradually became sharper, "Soldiers in the army are so easy to feed, but even the houses for doing chores in the palace are..."

"Aunt Su." Ji Muqing couldn't help interrupting her.He forcefully raised a smile and said, "Many new recruits in the army used to be young masters in the brocade pile."

He paused, looked at Su Lan and wanted to refute again, so he said in a cold tone: "But without them leaving the comfort zone to fight, how can there be a gold and jade house in the palace?"

Seeing that people finally kept silent, Ji Muqing lost his patience.He said indifferently: "The general still has military affairs, please trouble Aunt Su to teach me quickly."

Su Lan snorted softly, and said coolly: "Young servants can't teach you, but Young Master Ji has been hard to learn since he was a child."

"..." Sure enough, they broke up unhappy in the end.Ji Muqing patted the folds of his sleeves, and was about to get up and walk away, when he saw Ji Muxi doing her makeup and hair well.

"Isn't this Aunt Su?"

Ji Muxi was still mixing fragrances in the dark room of the study, when suddenly he saw Ji Muqing's mother visiting, and after hearing the reason, he quickly dressed up and came to meet the audience.

Su Lan is here to teach the future princess, so the master in the mansion can't intervene.Mother Ji has always held Ji Muqing close to her heart, but she knows that if she shows up, she will protect her shortcomings, and the trouble will be even more unpleasant.So she had been watching quietly outside the hall before, but not long ago, seeing that Ji Muqing couldn't bear it anymore, she thought of Ji Muxi.

Although Ji Muxi had only read people's nonsense about the deep palace battles in his scripts, his ability to hide his emotions and anger was much better than Ji Muqing's.Therefore, it is okay to please a court lady who relies on the old and sells the old with no conscience.

Su Lan saw that the visitor didn't seem to notice the stagnation in the atmosphere, so she regained her expression and replied lightly, "Miss Ji."

Ji Muxi, who was given a cold face, was not in a hurry, squinted his eyes, and hurriedly smiled, "Although I only met my aunt a few times, Muxi still remembers what my aunt once said in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Su Lan glanced at her, and naturally knew that she was here to persuade her to make peace. "It's just that Ms. Ji is the most lovely among the ladies in the room." Seeing people seemed to really flatter her with all her heart, Su Lan also gave it down the steps.

But when Ji Muxi approached, Su Lan smelled a strange fragrance, and suddenly changed his expression.She frowned and asked, "Miss Ji, what kind of powder is this?"

Ji Muqing, who withdrew to the side early to calm down, also turned her head.

Ji Muxi was slightly startled.She rushed over after washing her hands only once, never thinking that the scent of mandala flowers from outside could be noticed by a middle-aged woman in the deep palace. "Oh, but I picked a cheap one from a roadside stall at random, and I bought it because I thought it tasted special." She made up a random reason.

Su Lan looked at it for a long time, then glanced sideways at Ji Muqing, and then slowly praised as if remembering something: "Miss Ji is a good pick."

Even Ji Muxi, who has always been able to greet her with a smile, couldn't help lowering the corners of her mouth, "Ah? But this fragrance makes people dizzy after smelling it for a long time, and Muxi has given it to the servants."

"Miss Ji used it in the wrong place. This incense slave has used it before, and burned it in the room at night for sleeping." Su Lan was not surprised, and still explained well.

"Auntie, are you sure?" Ji Muxi held out the last sliver of luck, and slowly stretched out her hand to test carefully.

But Su Lan still didn't change his face after smelling it.Seeing that Ji Muxi didn't believe her, she didn't stop talking: "I haven't heard of it for a long time, so I might admit my mistake, but Miss Ji can try."

"Okay, then Muxi will try it at night." After saying this, Ji Muxi didn't ask any more questions, but she didn't know how many times she sneered in her heart.Reluctantly, she chose some nice words as the final ending, and finally sent him away politely.

Ji Muqing didn't leave, she just sat on the guest chair and watched with her fingers tightly.After having some guesses in his mind, his face turned pale, and his eyes, which were as dark as an abyss, were hidden in the shadows.

Before you know it, it's almost dusk.Ji Muqing watched the palace chariot go away speechlessly, and after a long time, just as he was about to turn around and return home, he saw another palace chariot slowly approaching.

……

"I didn't find you when I went to Nanya, I didn't think you didn't go at all today." Xiao Beichen lifted the curtain from the carriage and came down, his tone was calm and there was no intention of reproach.Seeing that Ji Muqing was looking at him seriously, he suppressed his smile and asked, "What's wrong?"

The afterglow shone directly on his face, and it was only when Ji Muqing got closer that he saw that Xiao Beichen had changed into dark purple clothes.He froze for a moment before replying: "Aunt Su came over in the afternoon."

"Did she make things difficult for you?" Xiao Beichen frowned and said in a low voice.

Ji Muqing snorted very softly, and then drew the end of the voice: "No, it's very amiable."

This irony was so true, Xiao Beichen laughed and took his hand, "Tomorrow I will tell my father and king, don't send anyone to educate my aunt. After all, there will be no one in the harem in the future, and the only queen will lead the army and be a general." Woolen cloth."

"There is also the concubine." Ji Muqing muttered softly.Then he pulled out the hand that was being held, turned around and walked up the steps, posing displeased.

"Today I have to go back to the palace to deal with things, so I can only move back some military affairs for you." Xiao Beichen stopped him warmly from behind. Reluctantly say goodbye: "Take a good rest."

"The general will enter the palace to accompany you." Ji Muqing answered quickly, and rushed over in a few steps.

Xiao Beichen lowered his head slightly, making his expression invisible, "...Look at you."

This clearly expresses agreement, and Ji Muqing pursed her lips unbearably happy.Then he quickly turned around and made arrangements: "Duan Yan, help me pack my things, we are staying in the palace tonight!"
