After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

Li Chengqi soaked in the water for a long time but did not hear the sound from behind her.

He turned his head slightly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a little fluffy yellow thing.

I don't know who raised the orange kitten, but it ran to Changle Palace. I think the sound just now was this little thing, and it opened the door.

His straight back slowly relaxed, he smiled and wanted to wave to this soft little ball, but felt that it was inappropriate for him to tease the cat without a trace.

The little hairball called out to him.

The little hair ball jumped over lightly, it was very courageous, it didn't seem to be very afraid of strangers, and circled around in front of Li Chengqi a few times.

Li Chengqi laughed and buried her whole face in the water.

It was nearly an hour and a half after he finished washing.

The night wind was blowing, and his long hair was half wet. Even though he was young and in good health, he felt a little chilly.

"Your Majesty." The palace maid kneeling in the dark made a low voice, and the orange kitten shrank obediently in her arms, more like a ball of hair, "Please forgive me, this cat is a slave I don’t know when I came to the Changle Palace, and I startled His Majesty.”

The girl was shivering in the night wind, like a fallen leaf. The little emperor didn't like birds and beasts. Everyone in the palace knew that Xuanfeng stayed because of Li Yan. .”

Li Chengqi didn't understand, so he didn't remember much of what Li Yin did, and he didn't know that he drowned cats and dogs after entering the palace for fun, so he raised his hand, "Get up."

The little palace man didn't dare to get up, kowtowed deeply, his voice was already choked up, "Please Your Majesty, please punish this servant."

"Orphan punish you for what?" Li Chengqi was slightly surprised, and waved to Xiaotuanzi. He had never raised a cat before, and the cat was like teasing a dog. Xiaotuanzi ignored him and arched into the girl's arms. The emperor touched his nose, "You It's well raised, what's its name?"

The little palace man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the servant's cat is called Concubine Xiang."

Li Chengqi looked at the chubby ball licking the hair in the girl's arms, "Concubine Xiang?"

"Yes, this cat's fur color is close to that of a concubine. The aunt in the palace said, why not call it Concubine Xiang." The little maid replied.

The hair ball in his arms seemed to know that he was Concubine Xiang, and softly called out to his master.

Li Chengqi couldn't help laughing, she couldn't see any connection between this chubby little thing and the legendary concubine Xiang, who was beautiful and well-trained. She wanted to tease the cat, but no matter how he was called Concubine Xiang, Concubine Xiang raised her head in disbelief. He ignored him, but he said helplessly: "Let's go quickly, and come in even if I don't care about Gu."

The little palace people were overjoyed and said again and again: "Your Majesty, my maidservant, thank you."

The little girl staggered up, holding the cat tightly in her arms and not letting go, if she hadn't been concerned about Li Chengqi's identity, she would have run out with the cat in her arms by now.

Li Chengqi thought for a while, "There is one more thing."

The little palace man stopped in his tracks, fearing that he would turn his back on him, suppressed his fear and said, "Your Majesty?"

"Did you see anyone when you came in?"

The little palace man immediately felt relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, recalled it carefully, and replied earnestly: "The servant found this place by looking for a cat. When the servant came in, he only saw Concubine Xiang lying on her stomach at the door, and no one was seen."

Li Chengqi nodded.

The little palace man bowed his head and quickly walked away with the cat in his arms.

Concubine Xiang waved her furry paws at him.

How fun.Li Chengqi thought.

It's much more pitiful and cute than the bird that Li Yan sent for nothing but biting his hand.

……

"Is it time to wake up His Majesty..." a voice whispered.

"Your Majesty didn't go to bed early last night. If you get angry, which one of you can afford it? I'm going to go to you."

Li Chengqi slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He had blown the wind last night, and his head was still a little groggy when he woke up this morning. He blinked his eyes, trying not to look so dazed.

It was suddenly quiet outside.

Li Chengqi sat up straight, staring at the pattern on the bed curtain expressionlessly.

The next moment, the bed curtain was lifted.

Xie Che's imagined image of sleeping with hair all over his face, terrified, and eyes red with water vapor did not appear.

The young man was tall and straight, his long hair was neatly draped behind him, and his face was not sleepy at all. When he looked up at him, there was a icy brilliance in his dark eyes.

Xie Che was slightly startled, and swallowed all the jokes he wanted to say in an instant.

Li Chengqi smiled, and the dimples that emerged from his cheeks instantly washed away all the chill in his eyes, making him look vivid and alive, "You are still alive." The little emperor said unceremoniously.

Xie Che pulled the bed curtain, sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I also felt that I was going to die before I went back."

He voluntarily knelt down in the ancestral hall in the middle of the night, waiting for Xie Mingyue to come back to question him as an unorthodox and unfilial son. He knelt until dawn, only then did he know that Xie Mingyue had already returned home, and he had already rested by this time.

He waited for a while, and at five o'clock at five o'clock, someone came and told him that the Marquis asked why he didn't see the little Marquis.

He dragged his unconscious legs and limped to see Xie Mingyue. Xie Mingyue seemed very surprised that he had made himself into such a virtue, ordered someone to fetch medicine, and asked Xie Che to sit down and eat first.

Xie Che was naturally apprehensive about eating, and the two of them finished eating without saying a word. Xie Che then mentioned that he brought Li Chengqi out of the palace.

He closed his mouth like a joke.

Li Chengqi looked at him eagerly, waiting for Xie Che to continue, "And then?"

Xie Che also felt very puzzled when he thought about it, it was really not Xie Mingyue's character to treat him lightly, "My father told me that I am Your Majesty's servant, and if Your Majesty makes up his mind to do something, it is actually difficult for a minister to stop him, so It's not my fault."

Obviously he was the one who took Li Chengqi to Hualou, why Xie Mingyue said that it seemed that the little emperor wanted to go?

Li Chengqi's thoughts were wandering, and she had various strange thoughts at the moment, and asked with a smile: "Can the teachings of Lord Hou to the young Lord be spread to outsiders?"

"Your Majesty is an emperor, not an outsider." Xie Che seemed to reply respectfully.

"Have you seen Du Shi? Has he been punished by the original minister?" Li Chengqi asked casually, and did not answer Xie Che's words.

"Young Master Yuan is waiting outside. I see that he is in good spirits, so he should be fine. He is keeping the etiquette of a monarch and a minister, and dare not come in. He just wants to wait outside for His Majesty to change clothes." Xie Che paused for a moment before speaking. stop, "Your Majesty..."

Li Chengqi nodded reassuringly, "It's fine if there's nothing to do." He paid attention to Xie Che's expression, "Young Lord, tell me what you have to say, when did you learn to hesitate?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask me about your injury?" Xie Che said it in one breath. He said it casually, but he didn't dare to look into Li Chengqi's smiling eyes. He glanced at the pattern of the bedding under Li Chengqi's body from time to time.

Li Chengqi laughed out loud.

Then he saw that Xie Che's ears were red as if stained with blood, he seemed to want to ask Li Chengqi why he was laughing, but he was afraid that if he opened his mouth it would become a question, so he pursed his lips tightly, wishing to bury his head in the ground.

Seeing that he was so embarrassed, Li Chengqi was very interested in teasing children. If he died not early and his relationship with Xie Mingyue was not so bad, maybe in private, Xie Che could still call him uncle, "The little prince's injury What's the matter? Are you going to pass on the imperial doctor to the little marquis alone?"

Xie Che even blushed, and left the sentence that the minister is waiting for His Majesty outside, and ran away as if to escape.

Seeing Xie Che leave, Qing Ai, who had been standing by the bed, stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to get up?"

Li Chengqi nodded, smiled and said, "Well, change clothes."

After everything was done properly, Li Chengqi did not forget to ask her two companions on the way to the study. Yuan Jian had a plan to advance and retreat, and gave detailed answers, but Xie Xiaohou, who was more familiar with Cheng Qi, rarely said a few words.

After Li Chengqi asked Yuan Jian, she suddenly asked, "What happened to Prince Meng?"

Of course, it was impossible for Yuan Jian to know what happened to Meng Chun, so Xie Che could only answer this question.

When Lord Xie Xiaohou heard this, his ears turned red again for no reason, he lowered his head and said in a sullen voice, "Unfortunately, he was not beaten to death."

Li Chengqi was puzzled, "Both of you are fine, why did Prince Meng get beaten?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, it's the Imperial Army who sent the officials back to the mansion," Xie Che explained, "I just said that Your Majesty kept the ministers waiting in the palace for a few hours, in order to avoid the misunderstanding of the elders, so he specially ordered the Imperial Army to escort them." In terms of face, I will not pursue it.

"Meng Guogong didn't believe it?" Li Chengqi asked.

An Guogong is the one with the least thought and the most violent temper among the Guogong. Others may be suspicious of this statement, but An Guogong will definitely believe it without doubt.

"The Duke believed it, but General Meng did not." Xie Che said, "These words can be hidden from the Duke, but not from General Meng."

Li Chengqi and Yuan Jianju were taken aback for a moment, "The general has returned to Beijing?"

The title of duke is hereditary, and most of the dukes stayed away from the government two generations ago, and only wanted to be rich. An exception is Duke An, or the daughter of Duke An is an exception.

An Guogong's eldest daughter, Chi Sixteen, joined the army and never returned to Beijing for many years.

Last year, General Meng crossed the river on a snowy night in mid-winter, his body was not healed from injuries, and his body became more and more serious after the cold air invaded his body. .

"The general is seriously injured. The officials in the court have repeatedly asked the general to return to Beijing for medical treatment. General Meng finally agreed two months ago. The journey was slow and he only arrived in Beijing yesterday. Because he entered the city quietly, the minister only found out this morning."

Meng Xingchi is so smart, how could he not see Meng Chun's strange expression, plus his mother mentioned in the letter that Meng Chun had an affair with the people in Yihualou, and was beaten for it, so he asked a few more questions, Meng Chun forced Sister Yu had no choice but to tell the whole story, and the Duke was so angry that he ordered someone to tie him up and beat him with a board.

So, did Xie Mingyue go to welcome Meng Xingchi back to Beijing yesterday?

Since Meng Xingchi returned to Beijing without merit, there should be no fanfare, so few people would know about his return. If it wasn't for yesterday's coincidence, even Li Chengqi would not have known about Meng Xingchi's departure.

As an emperor, he should know.

But he doesn't need to know.

Li Chengqi nodded, "I have heard about the general's reputation for a long time, and I finally got to see him tonight."

When he was at the peak of his previous life, Meng Xingchi was still an unknown little girl. His harem was empty, and it was even more impossible for foreign ministers and women to bring children to the palace. The words of praise are just that the situation was severe at that time, and the monarch and his ministers had never met each other.

Xie Che only said: "Yes."

Xie Che knew very well that Li Chengqi was unlikely to see Meng Xingchi, because Xie Mingyue would not let him see him.

As an emperor who has no real power but is about to be in charge, he really shouldn't see too many honorable ministers.
