After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

"Lonely..." Li Chengqi seemed at a loss. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to explain to Xie Mingyue.

The cold fingers were still sticking to the back of his hand, like a snake measuring its own territory.

His fingers wandered, and he tapped lightly on the place where his two hands overlapped.

Li Chengqi pulled his hand violently and took two steps back.

The originally flat official uniform was messed up by Li Chengqi, and several obvious folds appeared on the fabric around Xie Mingyue's waist.

He is wearing an official uniform today?

When Li Chengqi saw him in the morning, he was obviously still wearing a plain robe, casual attire is common, but now he is wearing an official uniform, which is more compelling than usual.

Li Chengqi suddenly remembered that King Kang and Xie Mingyue called Xie Mingyue brothers and sisters at the flower viewing banquet.

Li Chengqi: "..."

He's not too old to remember anything, and the scene of Kang Wang's hand being chopped off before his death is still vivid in his memory.

So why is he more noble than Kang Wang back then?

"What is Your Majesty doing?" Xie Mingyue asked.

There was no anger in his voice.

If he could hear the anger in his voice, he would probably die.

"Gu, I'm too happy." Li Chengqi said, seeing Xie Mingyue's expressionless face, he was obviously unmoved. After thinking about it, he added slowly, "I like Mr. too much."

"Like me?" Xie Mingyue asked with a deep tone.

Li Chengqi's liking is not precious at all, he likes everyone, Xie Che is close to him in age and everything is based on him, he likes it, even the little emperor Yuan Jian who has just met a few times can easily say that he is lonely I like your words.

"I like to respect the teacher." Li Chengqi replied immediately.

He replied that no one could find anything wrong, but he was a naughty young man who lost his composure when he got older.

Xie Mingyue's pale eyes reminded Li Chengqi of snakes. If he suddenly had a pair of vertical pupils, Li Chengqi would not be surprised at all.

Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, Li Chengqi couldn't help lowering her head, not because she was afraid of Xie Mingyue, but because he always felt that these eyes were sweeping up his throat, as if a ferocious beast was looking for a place to kill him. .

"Your Majesty respects his teachers and respects his teachers, which is too frivolous for his subjects." Xie Mingyue said slowly and calmly, as if she was afraid that Li Chengqi would not be able to hear clearly, "Your Majesty, as a ruler, must first have a correct appearance."

"Ziyi," Li Chengqi had never been told of bad manners in two lifetimes, so he endured it and retorted in a low voice: "Ziyi is not that unrespectable."

Xie Mingyue seemed to be a respected teacher. Facing a student who almost went astray, "The king's majesty is unpredictable, but it is respectable. It is a blessing for all to be lenient. However, being too approachable will only make some people disrespect your majesty. "He glanced at Li Chengqi, "If the person your majesty came to find today is not a minister, after the lord agrees, your majesty will also hug that lord to show the deep affection of the emperor and his ministers?"

Li Chengqi shook her head like a rattle and slandered, how did Xie Xuandu use such a gentle and persuasive tone to say such eccentric words? "In this palace, no one can understand the queen mother and uncle except sir." He muttered.

Xie Mingyue raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly, the little emperor didn't forget to talk back at this time.

"Such as the Regent?" he asked.

Li Chengqi was speechless for a moment.

Did you have any grudges with your lonely brother in your previous life, Xie Qing?

A strange sense of relief suddenly rose in Li Chengqi's heart.

Under the circumstances of great changes in the world, Xie Mingyue was able to tire of Li Yan so unforgettably.

Li Chengqi also tried to adjust the conflict between the two in her previous life, but the result was no solution.

Xie Mingyue is a real person, he is not willing, no one can press his head to force him to make peace with Li Yan, even if Li Chengqi can, it is useless for two people to be at odds with each other.

"The regent is not in the palace." Li Chengqi replied in a low voice.

Xie Mingyue's hypothesis has no meaning at all, besides, Xie Mingyue is the person who hates hypotheses and what-ifs the most, he thinks these words are all excuses.

Xie Mingyue nodded clearly, "I see."

What are you so?

Li Chengqi's teeth were sore.

Xie Mingyue nodded to Li Chengqi, turned around and wanted to leave.

After all, Xie Mingyue is the one who manages every day, and the current little emperor is just an idler.

The green branches and leaves slowly covered Xie Mingyue's back in a dark purple official uniform.

So his clever answer offended Xie Mingyue?

Now, it seems that he is not very capable of offending Xie Mingyue.

Li Chengqi could no longer see Xie Mingyue.

He changed his mind and ran after him quickly.

He didn't expect Changning Hall to tell Xie Mingyue this matter in front of several courtiers.

Xie Mingyue took a serious path, but Li Chengqi was not. He walked directly through the bushes in the flower garden.

The Hall of Changning is close at hand.

There was a sudden sound from the flowers behind him.

Xie Mingyue raised her hand, and the vigilant guard outside the court slowly let go of the handle of the knife.

Li Chengqi jumped out from inside.

If Li Yanyin saw flowers and leaves stained on his hair and clothes, and his disheveled hair, he might be angry.

Several guards turned their heads very slightly, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

Li Chengqi took off the leaves from her hair disapprovingly, and said, "Sir, I have something to say to my husband."

Xie Mingyue endured it again and again, but finally she couldn't hold back, walked over, took off the leaves that Li Chengqi's hair was stuck to, smoothed his hair, and put it back from the front of her chest.

Li Chengqi seriously answered Xie Mingyue's previous question: "Even if the prince is in Beijing, Gu will not go to see him. Mr. Gu is a teacher, but Gu has only seen him once, and Gu doesn't know him. Why do you want to find him?"

In all fairness, he is more willing to contact Xie Mingyue than to go to Li Yan.

After all, he has been dead for two years, and his heart is changeable. He has never seen Li Yan, and he doesn't know what Li Yan is thinking at the moment, but otherwise Xie Mingyue, his disobedience has never been concealed, and Li Chengqi doesn't need to guess at all. .

Li Chengqi said: "It's over."

Xie Mingyue nodded and turned to go back to Changning Hall.

He didn't respond at all, and Li Chengqi couldn't help wondering if she hadn't guessed what Xie Mingyue was thinking.

He looked at Xie Mingyue's figure, and said from behind: "Xie Hou, the leaves in your hand haven't been thrown yet."

"One leaf falls and the world is autumn," Xie Mingyue stood on the steps, turned to Li Chengqi and said, "How does Your Majesty know that this leaf is of no use to the minister?"

See Weizhi book.

Li Chengqi understood what he meant, but didn't understand what he wanted to do.

Xie Mingyue would never really want a leaf.

He bowed his hands to Xie Mingyue and said goodbye.

Before Li Chengqi stepped out of the courtyard, she reacted suddenly.

"Sir, sir, wait alone." Li Chengqi ran over bouncingly.

The guard had almost popped his eyeballs out.

Xie Mingyue stopped and waited for him, and asked in a good temper: "Is there anything else your Majesty wants?"

Li Chengqi wiped the sweat on his forehead with the handkerchief Xie Mingyue gave him just now, and said, "It's okay, but I just want to see you sir." He noticed Xie Mingyue's eyes, "How do you take care of things, sir, you are working hard on state affairs, and you can't share it I feel very guilty for a little bit, I have long wanted to be with my husband, I would rather hit the sun than choose another day, just today."

"The Queen Mother hasn't left yet?" Xie Mingyue asked.

Li Chengqi sighed, and said truthfully, "I didn't leave."

He thought that Xie Mingyue would let the Jing brothers and sisters leave Changle Palace as a favor, but Xie Mingyue said without thinking: "Okay." He glanced at Li Chengqi who was standing there, "Your Majesty, please."

Li Chengqi obediently followed.

Xie Mingyue consciously kept a step away from him, and was behind him.

The rules haven't changed a bit.

he thought.

There are more than a dozen low tables in the main hall of Changning Hall, and each table is separated from other tables by screens. The lights in the hall are always on and brighter than outside.More than a dozen officials in dark green official robes lowered their heads and quickly calculated something. Although there were attendants shuttled to and from the table to fetch the paper with the calculated results, except for the sound of the abacus turning and the sound of writing with a pen, the whole hall was extremely quiet. No other sounds.

Li Chengqi looked in with her head, and met the palace man who was walking out with an empty teapot. The latter saw a stranger coming here but was blocked. Thinking of the age of the other party, the most important thing was Xie Mingyue standing here. Behind the young man, not a fool could guess his identity. He was shocked and was about to kneel down when Li Chengqi silently waved his hand to let him pass.

The two went to the side hall together.

There is only one low table in the side hall, with a bamboo mat on each side.

The official document memorials are placed on shelves according to the place, and the memorials of Beijing officials and military affairs are placed on a shelf respectively.

Xie Mingyue asked Li Chengqi to sit down.

The little emperor knelt and sat down at the table.

There was still Xie Mingyue's unfinished memorial on the table, and the ink in the inkstone was not completely dry.

Xie Mingyue bypassed the shelves where official documents were placed, went to the innermost part, and found a few books.

Li Chengqi knelt there quietly, her gaze following Xie Mingyue's movements.

Xie Mingyue put the book on the table.

Li Chengqi looked over subconsciously, and found that it was not the law, but the script.

Li Chengqi looked at Xie Mingyue in shock.

When did Xie Mingyue look like this?

He took a closer look and found that the title of the book was very familiar to him. It was one of the few books that Xie Che had brought into the palace for him before and was confiscated by Xie Mingyue. The difference was that he only had one, while Xie Mingyue had one.

So Xie Mingyue took his book away to read it for herself.

Li Chengqi herself found it incredible.

Xie Mingyue sat down in front of him, wrote a pen, and started to do her own thing without distraction, as if she didn't see Li Chengqi as a living person at all.

Xie Mingyue was as quiet as a painting.

"Sir." Li Chengqi called tentatively.

Xie Mingyue looked at him.

"What are you doing in the main hall?" Li Chengqi had nothing to say.

"The household department is checking the accounts." Xie Mingyue replied.

"Once every six months?"

"Ah."

"Isn't it once a year before, why is it changed to half a year?"

Xie Mingyue replied: "Your Majesty, the book is for you to read."

Li Chengqi had no choice but to shut up, picked up the top book and started reading.

The pages were pristine, apparently untouched, not his old one.

Someone from the palace quietly brought tea and snacks. Both of them had tea, but the snacks were placed by Li Chengqi's hand.

Li Chengqi quietly glanced at the focused Xie Mingyue, hesitated for a moment, then lightly picked up a piece of Ruyi Cake and put it in her mouth, without chewing, just held it still, and slowly melted it before swallowing it.

Then he picked up the book and started reading.

Half an hour passed, and Li Chengqi found that no matter what she did, Xie Mingyue didn't respond, so she simply picked up the pastry brazenly and watched while eating.

It's okay to use the storybook to pass the time, but Li Chengqi felt a little itchy when she saw that Xie Mingyue hadn't stopped, so she restrained herself a few times before she really reached out to read the memorial.

Li Chengqi's eyes were glued to the book, and he stretched out his hand without raising his head. He didn't get the expected golden jade cake, but only touched something cool.

It was Xie Mingyue's fingertips.

Before Li Chengqi could react, Xie Mingyue withdrew her hand.

Are you a little girl who never went out to see anyone in [-]?Li Chengqi slandered.

He picked up a piece of gold jade cake, and then generously pushed the pastry plate towards Xie Mingyue, very bold and generous.

Xie Mingyue glanced at him and continued to read the memorial.

Li Chengqi was puzzled.

Xie Mingyue is the one who wants to take the pastry, and Xie Mingyue is the one who doesn't want to take it for him, what's the matter?Xie Mingyue doesn't want to let herself find out that he likes tea?

"Sir?" Li Chengqi asked vaguely.

The rules of keeping silent have been left behind by him.

"Nothing." Xie Mingyue replied.

Li Chengqi had no choice but to look down at the story book again. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xie Mingyue's slight frown, and wanted to know what was written in the memorial.

He read ten lines at a glance, and read this kind of miscellaneous books with extreme care. He finished reading this set in two hours. Xie Mingyue didn't pay any attention to him, and continued to read the memorial by himself.

Li Chengqi propped her chin with her hands, and leaned on the table as if she had no bones, looking at the surrounding scenery and Xie Mingyue.

Xie Hou's eyes were well formed, with a soft light, and the bridge of his nose was straight. He looked down and saw Xie Mingyue's pink lips.

Xie Mingyue looks so harmless. With his appearance, he should be a son of Fanglan's noble family. He should roam around the forest and not ask about worldly affairs. When Li Chengqi saw Xie Mingyue, it was like seeing a heavenly man. It was the first time that Li Chengqi understood What does it mean to be true to one's name.

Li Chengqi's gaze was almost glued to Xie Mingyue's face. He knew that Xie Mingyue would not warn her, so he was fearless.

In the next few years, he and Xie Mingyue only had business contacts, even if they could stay together, they still had to do what they should do. Li Chengqi hadn't looked at Xie Mingyue's face so carefully for a long time.

In all fairness, he hasn't changed from before, except that his eyes are calmer and his air is more gentle.

Although Li Chengqi couldn't understand this gentleness, he always felt that Xie Mingyue was acting strangely.

The beauty has not changed, and even the hair has not turned white.

It can be seen that God is eccentric.

He sighed in his heart.

Xie Mingyue stopped writing.

Li Chengqi looked over, only to find that the ink had dried up, leaving only a dry mark on the handwriting that had penetrated the back of the paper.

Xie Mingyue put down her pen.

It was getting dark.

Seeing that he still needs to study ink, Li Chengqi said, "Sir, pass on the meal."

Xie Mingyue looked at him.

Li Chengqi showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, "I'm hungry."

The refreshment plates on the table were already empty, and the tea had been changed several times, but the perpetrator told him innocently that he was hungry.

Xie Mingyue glanced down, the young man ate a lot, his waist wrapped in brocade was still tight and slender, and he didn't know where he ate.

"It's my negligence." Xie Mingyue said, with a bit of fatigue in her voice.

Li Chengqi got the consent and ordered people to pass on the meal.

Li Chengqi said he was hungry, but in fact he didn't eat a few mouthfuls after the dishes were set out. He was not hungry, but Xie Mingyue only drank a cup of tea all afternoon. Li Chengqi was very afraid that such things would spread and say that he treated officials harshly.

Xie Mingyue ate quietly, with a calm expression.

Of course Xie Mingyue knew that the little emperor was not hungry, but because he hadn't eaten anything all afternoon.

As far as the concern for all his courtiers was concerned, the emperor was almost obnoxiously detailed.

He ate unhurriedly, and when the little emperor put down his chopsticks, he put them down too.

It doesn't look like he is eating, but it seems to be eating with Li Chengqi.

If Li Chengqi wasn't around, I'm afraid he wouldn't have eaten either.

Seeing that he started to watch again after eating, Li Chengqi immediately felt that Xie Mingyue was wrong, "Sir, Gu ate too much tonight, why don't you accompany Gu for a walk?"

Li Chengqi was weak and sick in her previous life, and learned a lot of ways to keep in good health, but none of them persisted.

Before Xie Mingyue could reply, he knelt down in front of the table, propped his face with his hands, and refused to exert any strength, but kept saying that he would take Xie Mingyue out for three steps, "Let's go, sir, the lonely man in the palace is not familiar with the place. I dare not go out alone."

The chariots, guards of honor and attendants outside seemed to be decorations.

Xie Mingyue didn't answer immediately, Li Chengqi thought he was refusing, and was about to say something, Xie Mingyue said unexpectedly: "Let's go."

Li Chengqi jumped up, "Let's go, let's go alone with Mr., don't let others follow."

Xie Mingyue hung a cloak on her arm, and followed the little emperor who was bouncing around without any manners at all.

The night wind blows.

Li Chengqi kept walking in front of Xie Mingyue, but he stopped suddenly.

Xie Mingyue also stopped in her tracks.

The leaves not far from them moved.

When he left, Xie Mingyue followed without a word.

Xie Mingyue has always stood one step behind him.

The little emperor tilted his head, Xie Mingyue just looked at him, and said: "Your Majesty is cold?"

Li Chengqi shook his head.

It's not that he didn't let Xie Mingyue go with him before, but Xie Mingyue rejected them on the grounds that etiquette cannot be broken.

He is cautious and meticulous in small matters, but dares to steal the country and seize power. All the secret officials in the court must be respected, and his disciples and old officials are all over the court.

Li Chengqi was actually curious about what Xie Mingyue was doing when he was walking in front, but due to the majesty of the emperor, he never looked back.

Suddenly he looked back.

Xie Mingyue still looked at him, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Li Chengqi turned back, walked forward a dozen steps quickly, and turned around suddenly.

This time Xie Mingyue was even more puzzled seeing his expression.

Why does he keep looking at Xie Mingyue every time he turns his head?

Li Chengqi thought to herself.

Because Xie Mingyue has been staring at his back?

Li Chengqi simply turned around and walked backwards to talk to Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue's veins twitched when she saw it, partly because of the danger, partly because he was really shameless.

The wind blew the young man's long hair tied up high.

Li Chengqi smiled and said: "Sir, state affairs are important, but being busy with state affairs all day and neglecting food and drink is not good for your health. How can you wish to be a pair of monarchs and ministers for ten thousand years with you?"

Xie Mingyue looked at Li Chengqi with a very strange look, that kind of strangeness was like... the flowers that I passed by every day to the Changning Palace suddenly spoke.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. For your majesty's great wish, I will take care of your health." Xie Mingyue looked at Li Chengqi with such eyes, and then replied Li Chengqi with a polite word.

Li Chengqi felt that she was being despised for no reason, he just wanted to eat something, as for Xie Mingyue looking at him with this expression.

It is said that doctors do not heal themselves, so Xie Mingyue can't say anything about Xie Mingyue's half-hearted medical skills.

He turned around angrily.

The cloak fell to his shoulders the instant he turned around.

"Your Majesty, go back." Xie Mingyue said.

His tone was a discussion, but it was actually an order.

They had already walked a long way, Li Chengqi nodded and said, "Okay."

Xie Mingyue's cloak was too big for him, and Li Chengqi couldn't help but think of the scene in Hualou that day.

The cloak flicked to the ground, making a swishing sound.

Li Chengqi was wary of stepping on it, and said casually, "Like a skirt."

"Your Majesty quite understands." Xie Mingyue replied.

He was indeed acting strangely.

Li Chengqi's admiration for Xie Mingyue's look is that he disappeared after getting acquainted with each other.

The two returned to Changning Hall slowly.

Xie Mingyue finished reading and approving all the memorials on the table, and the night was extremely deep.

After reading the script, Li Chengqi looked at Xie Mingyue's face very bored, and then saw the hand holding the pen from the face. She read it several times, and her eyes fell on the memorial several times, but she could only look away abruptly.

After more than two hours, the little emperor was so bored that he could hardly keep his eyes open.

He was staggering, if Xie Mingyue hadn't put down the teacup and made a noise, he would have fallen asleep lying on the table at this moment.

"What time is it?" Li Chengqi rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze.

"Haishi."

Li Chengqi reckoned that the Queen Mother had already left by now, "Mister made fun of me, so I went back first." His voice was a little hoarse from sleep.

Xie Mingyue nodded, "The minister is with His Majesty."

"Back to Changle Palace?" Li Chengqi didn't seem to be fully awake when she asked.

Xie Mingyue was speechless for a moment, and his eyes flicked to the little emperor's red eyes, "Going out of the palace." He said.

When Li Chengqi returned to Changle Palace, it was near Zishi.

When he was changing his clothes, he suddenly thought of Jing Jiayu and Jing Eryang, so he asked, "When did the queen mother and uncle leave?"

"I didn't take a closer look, it should be noon," Ji said, "Not long after Taifu Xie sent a message, the Empress Dowager and Uncle Guo left."

noon?

Could it be that not long after he went to look for Xie Mingyue, Xie Mingyue sent someone here.

Then why didn't Xie Mingyue tell him that the Jing brothers and sisters had left?He didn't know that he didn't want to see the queen mother and uncle?Li Chengqi is in the dark.

Thanks to the wisdom of Mingyue, it shouldn't be.
