After becoming the king of the subjugated country

In the capital, after hearing that the Minister of Rites had sent the roster to the palace for His Majesty to review, there were cheers inside and outside.

No one would have thought that after His Majesty had a look at it, the list would come out, and with the addition of people from the local counties, the primary election could officially begin.

Those who are confident have already begun to order clothes and train etiquette, and some are looking around for news, including Prime Minister Qin, who have received dozens of gifts, hoping that he can say a few nice words in the future draft, it is really impossible Talking is also fine, as long as it doesn't hinder the marriage of their girl.

That's all, there are gifts sent to Bai Qi, hoping that he can praise his girl's appearance, words and deeds in front of His Majesty. Hearing this, Prime Minister Qin was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites almost couldn't breathe. Jue past.

But these people are anxious, Jiang Zilin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, will only be more anxious than them. After all, now that a knife is hanging on his head, and the list of primary candidates has been handed in, he does not know what His Majesty will do to him.

There was no other way, Jiang Zilin started looking for people to inquire about the news, hoping to know what His Majesty wanted to do.

The court eunuch?Eunuch Xin?Yes, yes, but this person's mouth is too tight, he refuses to say a word, and at most he just squints his eyes and smiles when he stuffs money, inferring that everything has His Majesty's will.

Qin Sheng?Did not come back; Tang Qian?He left again, on an envoy; Bai Qi?Not to mention.

Apart from these people, among the remaining people, the one who has the closest relationship with His Majesty is naturally the only princess in the dynasty.

But no matter how big Jiang Zilin's face was, he didn't dare to go to the palace and block the princess for questioning in front of everyone.

So, he changed his target and silently followed Ji Pei who was still living in the palace.

After hastily picking out the next day, Jiang Zilin waited for Ji Pei in front of the weapons workshop in the south of the city.

——and Bai Qi who came with him.

The smile on Jiang Zilin's face disappeared instantly.

"Master Jiang?" Ji Pei was a little surprised. He didn't expect to see the Minister of Rites here. He looked at Bai Qi and suddenly realized, "Are you looking for Brother Bai? If that's the case, then I—"

"Master Ji, please stop!" Jiang Zilin grabbed him with quick eyesight and quick hands, and handed him the gift first, "I have nothing important to do, but I have always heard that Master Ji is a talented student, so I have the audacity to come and appreciate it. Let’s also take a look at how the weapon workshop is doing now.”

Bai Qi raised her eyebrows and just greeted him gently.

Ji Pei didn't think much, just nodded, signaling Jiang Zilin to walk with them.

Along the way, Ji Pei was chatting with Bai Qi, "The pigeon came to play with us, and it has often blown its hair recently. Today I said I would bring it here. It was happy at first, but when I heard that you were coming, Just ran away."

Bai Qi hides his merits and fame deeply, "Is that so? Then it may have gone to play with other pigeons."

Ji Pei didn't think much about it.

But Jiang Zilin couldn't stop thinking about it, he tried his best to participate in it, "It seems that both of you are quite familiar with His Majesty's pet."

Ji Pei said smoothly: "Yes, Brother Huang doesn't have time to take care of it on weekdays, and this pigeon also likes to fly around, and spends half of his time eating and drinking at Brother Bai's place."

Hearing the key information of this sentence, Jiang Zilin's eyes could not help but wander.

After talking about the pigeons, Ji Pei talked to Bai Qi about the current basic necessities of life, "It's getting colder, so we should add more clothes. It's not good for your health to be greedy for cold."

Bai Qi nodded, "Indeed, I will remind Your Majesty every day."

Jiang Zilin paused, and then remembered that Bai Qi is still living in the palace...

In the end, the topic was extended to the draft, and Ji Pei asked Jiang Zilin, "I heard that Master Shang Shu has been very happy these days. He has been busy for a long time and finally handed in the list of primary candidates for the draft. I'm afraid I can relax now."

Jiang Zilin laughed, but didn't speak.

Bai Qi's words were a little subtle, "Your Majesty is probably already looking through the draft roster, and probably has an idea."

"What idea?" Jiang Zilin blurted out, looking at Bai Qi with burning eyes.

Bai Qi didn't speak anymore.

The weapon shop arrived soon, and Bai Qi had something to do, so he left first, but Jiang Zilin, who was trying to get along with Ji Pei alone, was stunned.

The craftsmen around came and went, and brought back the latest experimental content records. Ji Pei pointed out: "The experiment on the third is not good, add more heat, reduce some carbon, and destroy all the substandard products produced in the fourth. Soldiers must have every weapon of good quality, and there is no place for such mistakes on the battlefield."

After finishing talking to the craftsman, Ji Pei regained his composure and asked Jiang Zilin, "What did you just say?"

The surrounding stoves were full of flames, and Jiang Zilin was sweating all over, "...I mean, what does Lord Ji think about His Majesty's draft this time? After all, the one selected this time is the mother of the world. You must be able to bear the position of the mother of the world."

Ji Pei was a little surprised, "The emperor can rule the world, so why can't the person he chooses honor the world? It doesn't matter who this person is, as the emperor says he can."

Jiang Zilin: "..."

Jiang Zilin swallowed hard, "I mean, in case some bad candidates get mixed in..."

Ji Pei was taken aback for a moment, and then became serious, "Is there someone plotting rebellion inside?"

Jiang Zilin: "Huh? No!"

Ji Pei calmed down, "So someone is unwilling?"

Jiang Zilin was a little stuck, "I think he's quite happy, but I'm afraid His Majesty won't."

Ji Pei took a serious look at him, thinking that this man was simply looking for trouble, and that it was a waste of time for him to chat with him.

So he started looking at the records again.

Jiang Zilin felt a headache when he saw these papers, and it was even more painful when he looked at the dense number records and time records on it. He followed Ji Pei closely, "Master Ji, Your Majesty has always valued you more, and I hope you can help me." , give me some hints, if I submit the wrong list..."

"Then the emperor won't kill you either," Ji Pei said casually, "At most, I'll let you go back to your hometown and beg for bones sooner."

Jiang Zilin: "..."

Isn't that cruel enough?

Ji Pei became a little impatient, and he asked, "What exactly do you want to ask? Is there a mistake or omission in the list?"

"It's not a mistake, it's just that I made a mistake..." Jiang Zilin wanted to cry whenever he thought about it, "I went to ask Master Bai for his opinion, but Master Bai filled in his name. "

Jiang Zilin tried his best to describe this matter in the most concise language.

"Good thing!" Ji Pei quickly accepted, "Yes, you have vision."

Jiang Zilin was at a loss, "Huh??"

Ji Pei pondered for a few more seconds, "But you still missed someone."

Jiang Zilin subconsciously asked, "Who?"

Ji Pei said seriously: "Shang Nan. He has a deep affection for Brother Huang, and Brother Huang doesn't hate him, so he should be given a chance."

Jiang Zilin: "..."

Jiang Zilin didn't even know how he got out of the weapon workshop and how he came back to his own house, he was thinking about Ji Pei's words all the way.

After thinking and thinking, he couldn't help shivering.

Does Ji Pei know that there is really something between His Majesty and Bai Qi?

Could there be something between Shang Nan and His Majesty?

Then, as a courtier, he not only knew about this matter, but also revealed it, revealing the personal relationship between His Majesty and Bai Qi on the list.

Looking at the rewards given by His Majesty, Jiang Zilin finally gathered his mind, stopped worrying about his own life, and began to worry about how the draft would end.

"This is too messy," Jiang Zilin sighed, "What kind of person does His Majesty want?"

Are men really okay?

Meanwhile, Bai Qi had the same problem.

What kind of person does Ji Chen want?

The draft roster has been forgotten by Ji Chen since the last time Ji Chen looked through it, and it has been left on the table for two days now.

Ji Chen didn't take the initiative to hand it to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi didn't take the initiative to read it. The two seemed to have forgotten about it tacitly.

Today, the roster is within his reach.

At night, Bai Qi washes his hands and burns incense to calm his mind.

"Ji Chen," Bai Qi called out suddenly.

Ji Chen raised his head, saw him approaching, and kissed him regardless.

Ji Chen hugged him subconsciously, dragged him to the couch, and then suppressed him instead, continuing the kiss.

The booklet that hadn't been placed in time accidentally fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

Dim yellow candles burn quietly, reflecting the world.

"So active today?" Ji Chen didn't get up, just propped his arms like this, and outlined his face with his fingers.

Bai Qi subconsciously kissed Ji Chen's fingertips.

Ji Chen's movements paused, and he restrained all kinds of absurd ideas in his mind after holding back, "You are like this, but it makes me really want to bully you."

"Then you bully me." Bai Qi raised her head, neither hiding nor dodging, "I'm extremely happy."

But Ji Chen stopped first and got up from the couch, "Wait a little longer."

The scent of mint is cool and easy to diffuse, but not cold.

Just like the smell of Bai Qi.

Bai Qi suddenly said: "I heard that His Majesty intends to divide the six palaces."

Ji Chen nodded, looking forward to Bai Qi's reaction.

Bai Qi smiled suddenly, "I want to recommend myself."

Said it was a self-recommendation, but he didn't say a word.

Mostly what I want to say has already been said on weekdays, what I want to write is on paper, and now I can say more and it will be nothing but repetition.

Or it may be that there are too many turbulent emotions in his heart, and his language is too thin. Even if he is highly sought after for every word, he still cannot express a ten-thousandth of his inner emotions.

Bai Qi brought a pipa, from "Pipa Language" to "Neon Clothes" to "Guanshan Wine", which contains his desolation in the past, his ambition in this life, but more, it is his feeling at this moment.

Just like the snow melts in spring, flowers cover the whole world.

Probably every day since then will be sunny.

After plucking the last string, Bai Qi let the ending tremble in the air, and said seriously: "It's my good fortune to meet you."

Probably all the luck in the past few decades was spent on this love.

Ji Chen looked at Bai Qi, held his hand, stroked his fingertips, and said seriously: "I don't need anyone to follow me."

Bai Qi clenched her hands, and was about to say something, but he continued: "The road ahead is too far away, I just need someone to accompany me all the way."

Bai Qi blinked, and it took him a long time to react.

"If you are invited by the king, you will definitely go to the appointment and go with you."

Before going to bed, Ji Chen leaned into Bai Qi's ear and whispered, "I will give you a surprise tomorrow, and let you see my determination for the future."

The next day, in the Inspector's Court, a smile appeared on Bai Qi's face. Even if the subordinate committed a stupidity, he just raised a few words in a gentle voice, not as severe as before.

Eunuch Xin felt a little strange, most of them were suitable in the past, but Bai Qi didn't have such a good temper.

But he came here with a mission on his back, and he didn't have time to explore why Bai Qi was in such a good mood.So when Bai Qi finished his official duties and was about to return to the palace, Eunuch Xin stood up and said to Bai Qi, "Lord Bai, Your Majesty asked this slave to take you to meet the future concubine."

Bai Qi was no longer in a hurry, he put all his trust in Ji Chen, and believed in what he said yesterday.

So he stood up frankly, "Let's go."

As a result, after the carriage entered the palace, it made several detours and finally stopped in a large courtyard.

Eunuch Xin said sharply: "Hurry up and bring out the candidate concubine!"

Bai Qi sat on the first chair, drank tea calmly, and was already thinking about how to communicate with this group of people and how to reach an agreement.

As a result, a cat rushed in quickly, grabbed Bai Qi's feet, and looked at him eagerly, "Meow~"

This cat is only slightly bigger than the palm of your hand, its pure white hair does not contain a trace of foreign color, and its blue eyes are clear and bright, which is rare to attract Bai Qi's affection.

Eunuch Xin was furious, "How can you serve me! How can you let Concubine Xian run around alone?"

A eunuch hurried in, picked up the cat, and kept it from wandering.

Bai Qi put down the tea cup he had just picked up, and asked one more question, "Elder-in-law said, what is it?"

He couldn't believe his ears.

Eunuch Xin said seriously: "Concubine Xian! That's how Your Majesty named it. Of course, Your Majesty also said that if Mr. Bai is not satisfied, you can change the name at will."

"Hey, sir, don't you take it seriously? Could it be that your majesty still takes these names seriously, and really let this cat become a virtuous concubine?"

Bai Qi: "..."

He felt that Ji Chen probably took it seriously.

He looked at the various animals held by the twelve eunuchs outside, from cats and dogs to red-crowned cranes to leopards, and listened to Eunuch Xin's introductions respectively.Of course, if he wanted to change their names, or add animals, that was fine.

...So, he finished seeing Ji Chen's future harem concubine at once?

The author has something to say:

The 72nd concubine of Sangong Sixth Hospital

Now Ji Chen doesn't have enough concubines (doge)
