Battle of the Queen

Mingyi was woken up by the torment when the sky was getting dark. She opened her eyes vaguely and looked at Tsing Yi's magnified face, "Huh? When is it?"

Tsing Yi helped her up, "Report to my lord, it's already time."

Ming Yi looked at her in confusion, "..." What time is it?

Tsing Yi didn't feel Ming Yi's doubts, so she let Ming Yi sit on the side of the bed, knelt down to put on her shoes, Ming Yi hurriedly dodged, "No, I'll do it myself."

Tsing Yi gently dragged Ming Yi's foot towards him, "The lord is going to court today, as usual, the slaves should serve him."

Ming Yi had no choice but to say, "...Okay."

After putting on the shoes, Tsing Yi opened the curtain, and Ming Yi's expression became dull. A large group of people waited outside, holding basins, towels, spittoons, mouthwash, etc. Ming Yi looked over one by one and found Xiyu Impressively on the list.

This time Ming Yi woke up completely from sleepiness, "Why is the grand master here?!" She subconsciously grabbed the collar of her pajamas, Tsing Yi stepped forward to straighten her clothes, "The grand master has been here for a while gone."

Xiyu stood neatly dressed, she had indeed been here for a long time, she first saluted meticulously, and then said indifferently: "My lord has not been to the previous court for a long time, and I am afraid that my lord will be unfamiliar, so I came here to enter the court with my lord. "

Mingyi thought that this person didn't seem to care about her deliberately making things difficult yesterday, so she laughed dryly and said, "...the grand master really has a heart..."

The maids brought water, Tsing Yi wrung out a towel to wipe Ming Yi's face, Ming Yi was waited on to brush her teeth and change her clothes. The clothes were court clothes specially prepared, solemn and elegant, and the skirt was dragged to the ground.

It is worth mentioning that Xiyu was watching from the side when she was changing clothes. Because she was about to take off her pajamas, Mingyi was a little embarrassed at first, but Xiyu kept looking at her with the same expression. Ming Yi also let go, what's the big deal, we are all women, not all the same, just look at it.

After changing the clothes, it was natural to toss about this face, but fortunately Tsing Yi was skillful, and his movements were very light, so he put Ming Yi's makeup on in just a few strokes.

Tsing Yi ordered the little girl under her command, "Go and ask someone to bring breakfast."

"Yes."

Ming Yi asked her: "What's for breakfast?"

"...I ordered the kitchen to stew bird's nest porridge last night, and it was served early this morning."

"Oh," Mingyi understood, this court was indeed a physical effort in her opinion, so she asked the grand master, "Has the grand master eaten?"

Xiyu arched his hands, "I have already eaten when I came."

"It's so early, so I'll eat it myself and bring it here."

Mingyi drank the porridge slowly, and it was time to go to the execution ground.

"My lord, please." Xiyu made a gesture of invitation, Mingyi nodded, and walked in front, and there were four female guards in front of her, clearing the way on both sides, Xiyu walked a little behind her left, followed behind A slippery maid.

After going down the small building, he went up to Yu Huan who was parked below, and the ones who were lifted up were four young girls dressed as guards. To be honest, Ming Yi felt a little sorry, but he couldn't show it, so he had to sit still and let them relax. Lift up a little.

Along the way, Xiyu told Ming Yi some things about the current court, such as where the personnel are arranged, where the court is discussed, and so on.

"Since my lord arrived at the palace, I haven't been there early, and the affairs of the court are conveyed directly through the ministers, and the palace is not like the imperial palace, so the ministers privately reserved the place for the ministers to discuss their affairs in the Lianyi Hall."

Mingyi nodded: "The Grand Master decides."

A group of people divided the flowers and brushed the willows. The morning dew was not yet dry. The ribbon on Ming Yi's wrist was a bit long. When she was dragged off from the royal boat, she would always accidentally brush the dewy flowers and plants by the roadside. , and picked up the belt that had fallen from her side and carried it in her hand.

"My lord, the Lianyi Hall is just ahead."

A few guards trotted to fight and lined up at the bottom of the steps. A woman dressed in official uniform saw Ming Yi's imperial servant approaching from a distance, and said loudly to the inside: "My lord is here——"

Come out and stand in two rows at the door.Standing on the side of the road, when Mingyi's driver passed through them, they knelt down and shouted: "See the lord, welcome the lord to return to the court——"

Mingyi adjusted her expression, raised her hands as dignifiedly as possible, and made a slight lifting motion with her palms up, "Everyone, stay flat~"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Mingyi's Yuchao stopped at the door, Xiyu took a step forward and stretched out his hand in front of Mingyi.

"???" Mingyi couldn't understand for a moment,

Xiyu bent down in a gentlemanly manner, and said, "My lord, I respectfully ask you to come down..."

Oh, it was only now that Mingyi realized that she really wanted to help herself, isn't this all Tsing Yi's job?Ming Yi looked back at Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi actually stuck out his tongue at her, Ming Yi wanted to make a face at her, but there were ministers behind her, so she could bear it after thinking about it.

Mingyi was still a little excited to support Xiyu's hand. Her slender and powerful hands were clean and fair, and her fingernails were neatly manicured. Putting them together formed a stark contrast with Mingyi's hands. It is a little smaller than Xiyu's, and her complexion is a little fairer. The most obvious difference is that Mingyi's nails are very long, painted with bright Danko red, and Mingyi has not cut them off. At this moment, the two of them put their hands together. Yi was a little awkward and a little excited, God knows she didn't know why she was excited, she tried her best not to show her face, she couldn't help it, so she lowered her head and grinned.

Xiyu's face was watery, she didn't seem to notice Mingyi's small movements, she brought Mingyi to the top position, then retracted her hands behind her back, and the ministers came in behind, standing on both sides of the lower head.

Xiyu was standing on Ming Yi's left side, she didn't seem to have any intention of going down, she just said calmly: "My lord has just recovered from a serious illness, all the ministers have something to do, let's go back to the court if there is nothing to do."

Nani, Nani!What is rhythm? !This can be broken up? !

The ministers below really started to stir up a commotion, the atmosphere of the scene was not right, Ming Yi was about to say a few words, when a woman in Tsing Yi stood up and said, "Report to my lord, I have something to do!"

As soon as Mingyi heard the voice sound familiar, she remembered that this is not Master Zhongshu who came to the door that day, he was really looking for trouble, "Master Zhongshu, what's the matter?"

"My lord, my lord's dragon body was not in good condition a few days ago, and many affairs in the court were presided over by the grand master. I, in Xiliang, can make the people feel at ease and the court is stable. The grand master's contribution is indispensable. As the saying goes, everything is right and sound, and the grand master's contribution is great , is not the king of a country, and now my lord returns to the court to preside over the overall situation, and I will ask the grand master to return the jade seal, and the lord will decide the affairs of the court."

It turned out that Yuxi was still in her hand. Mingyi turned to look at Xiyu, and saw that she had no expression, and said, "During my absence, the Grand Master has contributed a lot. Now that I am returning to the court, I will naturally preside over the government affairs, but Having said that, I have been ill for a long time, and I am a bit unfamiliar with the affairs of the court and China, so I need the Grand Master to help me, and the ministers should remind me, as for the jade seal, I just ask the Grand Master to return it."

Xiyu turned to Mingyi, and said, "Report to my lord, I have sent the jade seal to my lord's study."

"It's so good, what else do you love to play?"

The standing Master Zhongshu exchanged glances with a minister next to him. Ming Yi didn't know what their eyes meant, but saw the minister stand up, "Report to my lord, I have something to do."

"speak."

"My lord, since the beginning of summer, the weather has been dry and hot, and there has been no rain in the capital, and the nearby farmland has dried up. I believe that the only way to save the crops in the field is to build canals and divert water from the Zimu River to irrigate the farmland."

The first key word Ming Yi heard was "Zimu River", and she also heard that she wanted to divert water for irrigation, and realized that things are definitely not that simple. This kind of thing is not difficult to say, but it is not simple. The minister put it this way, There must be some purpose, sure enough, just listen to the minister continue,

"Nowadays, the only person in my court who knows about water conservancy is the Grand Master who is well-educated. I have the courage to ask the Grand Master to come out of Beijing to supervise the construction of canals and divert water!"

Hearing this, Mingyi finally understood, cooperating with this guy wanted to push the grand master out, this is good, if this capable grand master leaves, then he will be really helpless, but according to what this person said The only one who knows about water conservancy is the grand master. If you don’t send her there, you don’t care about the safety of people’s livelihood.

Mingyi was worrying, Xiyu himself took a step forward, bowed and said: "My lord, I am not the only one who understands water conservancy. As far as I know, Mr. Zhongshu is familiar with water conservancy facilities, and his cultivation depends on him." Above all, the matter of water conservancy is related to people's livelihood, I dare not be rash, I hope that I will care about the people and entrust this matter to Master Zhongshu."

"Oh? Master Zhongshu also knows about water conservancy?"

Master Zhongshu's face turned green, obviously he wanted to send Xiyu out, but he threw a stone at his foot, so he could only laugh a few times, and said: "My lord, I don't dare to say I understand it, I just know a little bit about it." , I just know a thing or two..."

Xiyu said lightly, "Your Excellency Zhongshu is too modest. You are knowledgeable about the past and the present. You have also been to the Tang Dynasty to study water conservancy. All the adults here admire you."

Many people below nodded in unison, Mr. Zhongshu wiped off his sweat, and said in a faltering tone, "This... this..."

It's time for Ming Yi to speak, "Since that's the case, I'll leave the task of building the capital to Mr. Zhongshu. Don't let me down, sir. I'll be rewarded for coming back!"

Master Zhongshu's face showed embarrassment, Ming Yi put on a straight face and put pressure on him, "Why, Master Zhongshu is not willing?"

"No, I dare not..."

"So, Master Zhongshu agrees?"

Zhongshu was forced by Mingyi's status, although he was unwilling and did not dare to object, he had no choice but to accept the decree, "I obey the decree..."

Phew, a big problem has been solved, Ming Yi breathed a sigh of relief, her palms were covered with sweat, no need to think about it, Ming Yi knew that her forehead must also be full of sweat now, luckily the courtiers couldn't see it from far away.

Mingyi asked again: "Is there anything else you want to play?"

At last there was no sound, Mingyi thought it was finally over, her tense body finally relaxed, Xiyu signaled to the female officer just now, and the female officer came to the stage, and with a sound of "Retreat——", The ministers walked out one by one, Mr. Zhongshu was not in high spirits, completely lost the vigor at the beginning, and walked behind slowly.

After completing the task, Mingyi was sent back to her residence, changed into homely clothes and lay on the bed, not wanting to move. Xiyu walked in and said to her expressionlessly: "My lord, today's memorial has been delivered, please have a look at it."

Ming Yi: "..."
