Xie Caiqing was shocked by the relationship between Daning's monarch and his ministers. If it was his brother, hearing such a sentence, he would be so angry that he would smash his ass to death.

"Walls have ears, so be careful, teacher." Xie Caiqing said softly.

"What are you afraid of!" Liu Yun didn't take it seriously. "Your Majesty wiped his face when he heard it, pointed at the old man, laughed and scolded him, and at most gave him a spanking. The old man is afraid of him? Doesn't he know how messed up he is? Let people say? He is happy!"

Xie Caiqing was slightly at a loss.

After Liu Yun was interrupted, the fire that had been hanging aside spewed out again: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What do you want to do!"

Xie Caiqing looked at the 70-year-old man running along the corridor with a loose official uniform, and his dark eyes were even more dazed and confused.

……

In the evening, come to Xie Zhe's house.

Xie Zhe was closing his eyes and listening to the luthier playing, when the porter walked in lightly.

Xie Zhe had stayed by the emperor's side for a long time, his eyes and ears were sharp, so he still heard footsteps, opened his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

"Xie Caiqing came to visit and said he came to pick up the piano."

Only then did Xie Zhe think of Xie Caiqing's piano.After he repaired it for him, he wanted to ask someone to bring it to him, but Xie Caiqing didn't have a mansion at that time, so he put it aside first, and planned to return it to him when he completed the mansion, but he forgot.

"Would you like to see me, sir?" The concierge thought about his master's custom of thanking guests behind closed doors, and said caringly, "If you don't see me, the little one can ask someone to give him the Qin directly, and send him away."

Xie Zhe thought about the delicate relationship between His Majesty and Xie Caiqing, suppressed a smile, and felt a little serious in his heart.

Before His Majesty leaves Xie Caiqing behind and has a new favourite, it will be a matter of time before Xie Caiqing gets enlightened, and he will rise to prominence and even rank above him.

Just don't get the hang of it, with his current popularity in the court and good reputation in the countryside, as long as there are no major mistakes, his road to promotion will be extremely smooth.

All that aside, man is an interesting man.

"Call him in."

The porter stood still.

Xie Zhe glanced at him, wondering, "What's wrong?"

The concierge hesitated and said: "My lord, Xie Caiqing brought a gift, it's a huge gift, and many people outside are watching."

Xie Zhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Call him in!"

……

Outside Xie Zhe's mansion, the common people watched again, but this time there was less ridicule and more curious inquiry.

Behind Jiang Huaichu, Ruya worriedly asked: "Will he meet you?"

Last time, it can be said that it was a pass and finally saw Xie Zhe after crossing many obstacles. This time, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Jiang Huaichu smiled and said, "Yes."

Ruya said in a low voice: "...but we brought gifts this time."

Ruya glanced at the most obvious thing in his hand.

Xie Zhe didn't accept the gift, the little prince really wanted to give it away, but he chose an oversized one.

Everyone can see it.

If Xie Zhe let Xie Caiqing in, I am afraid that within a few hours, most of the capital would know that the commander who closed the door to thank guests not only let Xie Caiqing in again, but also accepted Xie Caiqing's gift.

As if seeing his hesitation, Jiang Huaichu said softly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, one must have two. The last time I didn't show the ceremony, it was to let him take off his guard and reduce the invisible pressure so that I could go in. It's to show respect and importance to him, to respect his identity, and to save his face last time, it's different."

If you seem to understand but don't understand, he has always been slow and ignorant of the world, so he still has some doubts: "But he doesn't accept gifts."

Jiang Huaichu shook his head: "It's different, this time it should be accepted, and it must be accepted."

Ruya managed to clear away a little bit of cloud and mist, and was instantly confused again.

Jiang Huaichu said in a low voice: "Or is it because someone messes around like I did last time, and the commanders have to see them? No, the people will say, Xie Caiqing has seen everyone like last time, why is it his turn to make the commanders disappear? Obviously last time Xie Caiqing came to the Commander empty-handed for help, and the Commander agreed, and then came to the door empty-handed to ask him for help, will he help?"

Ruya thought for a while, and said: "...For the sake of reputation, I should help."

He understood a little bit, and said in a deep voice: "The common people will think that it is only right for the commander to help. If you don't help, it will damage your reputation. With your precedent, it will be difficult for him to refuse in the future."

Jiang Huaichu nodded: "So I want to give a big gift, a big gift, and give it openly, so as to get rid of the thoughts of those who get something for nothing and save him trouble."

Ru Yaxin admired slightly.If Jiang Huaichu wasn't the little prince of Nanpang Kingdom, being friends with him should be a great blessing in life.

……

The people were talking.

"He brought a gift, shouldn't we see you?"

"I'm the commander, so I can see you without courtesy. This is a bit superfluous, but it's hard to say."

"Not to mention, Zhuangyuan Lang is so handsome."

"When the gold list is titled, and the bridal chamber is full of candles and candles, don't you usually get the number one scholar and then marry a noble wife? Shouldn't the number one scholar also do something—"

"It's still young!"

The vermilion lacquer gate of Xie Zhe's mansion opened again for the same person.

The people's eyes widened.

There was a moment of silence all around.

……

Xie Caiqing was led to Xie Zhe, sat down and chatted with each other.

Xie Zhe's attitude towards him also became cordial and warm, without any of the official prestige that he intentionally brought out last time, it seemed that he regarded him as a good friend.

After playing Tai Chi for a long time, Xie Zhe glanced at the person opposite, and said with a smile, "Caiqing came to see me today, you didn't come to drink tea with me, did you?"

Xie Caiqing gave a very low "hmm": "...I really have something to ask for."

"Ok?"

Xie Caiqing said: "...Your Majesty saved me several times. If it wasn't for Your Majesty about King Qi, Caiqing would never have had the chance to drink tea with the commander in this lifetime."

Xie Zhe paused for a while, suppressed a smile, and sighed: "Yes, His Majesty is kind and generous, and it's also your luck, so what's the matter?"

Xie Caiqing gritted her teeth: "I want to ask the commander about your majesty's preferences."

Xie Zhe was stunned for a moment, couldn't hold back his laughter, and put down the teacup as if nothing had happened: "What do you want this for?"

The person opposite was silent for a while.

There is a small mole one finger's width below his left eye, adorning his fair face and hazy eyes, which has a special charm, especially when he bows his head and does not speak, there is a special kind of cuteness, which makes people bear I couldn't help wondering if he didn't agree to his request, and he would frown in the next second.

It's really pitiful.

Xie Zhe suddenly understood where the emperor's fun lies.

It's fun, how well-born, the whole face is white and flawless, just such a small mole in a unique position, it will really grow.

"Zhuangyuan Lang?" Xie Zhe pretended to be puzzled.

Xie Caiqing then said: "...Caiqing is grateful for His Majesty's great kindness, but there is no way to repay him. He is really disturbed and can't sleep at night, so he wants to inquire about His Majesty's preferences, see if he can do something for him, and hope that the commander will make it happen. "

Xie Zhexin said that it would be the best repayment for you to lie on his bed obediently. His Majesty promised to be happy in his heart, but he still felt that his kindness was not enough.

Xie Zhe glanced at him: "A hero who saves a beauty—isn't it always repaid with a promise of body?"

Xie Caiqing was so startled that a few drops of the tea in the teacup fell onto her fair fingers, her face flushed red: "...the commander is going to make fun of Caiqing!"

"Where did you make fun of?" Xie Zhe was still relentless, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Xie Caiqing said: "Your Majesty, among dragons and phoenixes, Caiqing is no match for him, besides, Your Majesty and Caiqing are both men—"

"Isn't King Qi also a man?"

Xie Caiqing frowned: "King Qi is dirty, your majesty is a gentleman, how can you compare them?"

Xie Zhe: "..."

If Xie Caiqing wasn't here, Xie Zhe would have a stomach ache from laughing.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Zhe tensed his mouth, "I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

Xie Caiqing breathed a sigh of relief, but the blush on her face could not come down.

Xie Zhe endured it for a long time, but couldn't help it: "Then if you are a woman, would you like to enter the harem and bear children for him—"

"Commander!"

This voice was really indescribably close, Xie Zhe's heart skipped a beat, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I won't ask any more!"

Xie Caiqing took a sip of tea embarrassingly to cover up.

Xie Zhe didn't expect that, he thought Xie Caiqing was a humane and good at making money, but it turned out that he was really smart and clean.

Such a junior, which courtier who has been ups and downs in the officialdom and has seen all the dirty tricks doesn't like it?

Xie Zhe deliberately said: "Then why should I tell you? So many people came to ask me before, but I didn't say a single one. This is His Majesty's preference. If someone else finds out that I leaked it to you, His Majesty becomes angry. It is also responsible.”

A servant happened to come over with Xie Caiqing's piano in his arms. Xie Caiqing glanced at the violinist beside him and said, "Was the commander listening to the music?"

"Huh?" Xie Zhe nodded seriously.

Xie Caiqing frowned: "The commander told me, I'll play the music for you, okay?"

"Do you know how to play the piano?" Asked, Xie Zhe realized how stupid this question was.

Can't play the piano, why did Xie Caiqing ask him to repair the piano?

It's just that he can play chess and piano again.

"Yes. Will you?"

Facing his smiling and clear eyes, Xie Zhe coughed, resisted it with great difficulty, was not fooled, and deliberately held it up and said: "You play first, and I will think about it after you finish playing."

……

Coming out of Xie Zhe's mansion with the qin in his arms, Ruya leaned over and pulled the qin, gently pulling the little prince into the carriage.

Ruya said, "Did he tell you?"

Jiang Huaichu straightened the hem of his robe layer by layer, smoothed his back, and then sat down, shaking his head: "No."

Ruya said: "Didn't tell you this?"

Jiang Huaichu said slowly: "He said he would think about it again, and asked me to go back and wait for his news."

Ruya frowned: "Why bother, I have all Xiao Yun's preferences, no more clear and accurate than the Commander? I even know which dishes he eats with which chopsticks."

Jiang Huaichu: "..."

In Ruya's view, this line of work can even be said to be superfluous, and it has gone full circle, and may end up with nothing.

Jiang Huaichu smiled: "I'm not here to ask the commander."

Ruya was at a loss, and even lifted the curtain to look at the plaque on the mansion in front of him.

It's the Xie Mansion that's right.

"I'm here to ask Xiao Yun." Jiang Huaichu said leisurely, "He wants to tell me what he likes, so I'll follow what he told me."

Ruya bowed her head in shock: "... this subordinate is dull."

……

In the palace, Xie Zhe was lying in front of the desk, holding on to the brush, looking at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun sat lazily, teasing the bird with the eunuch's whisk tail, and said, "Just write..."

He pondered for a moment: "I like to eat roasted deer tendon, braised shark's fin, Buddha jumping over the wall, stir-fried sparrow tongue..."

He couldn't think of it for a while, and said impatiently: "If there is any other precious mess, you can write it down for me."

"...Yes." Xie Zhe wrote with the tip of his pen trembling, his expression was indescribable, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Xiao Yun poked the bird's feathers with the tail of the whisk, and asked, "He can play chess and piano, right?"

Xie Zhe: "...Yes."

"Then you write. I like listening to singing and watching dancing."
