After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

Li Chengqi went out to greet her.

Sure enough, I saw a group of people coming, mighty and majestic, even bigger than the emperor himself.

The leader is slender and tall, wearing brocade clothes and jade crowns, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, but without any makeup, his golden appearance is beautiful, and his appearance is so handsome that he makes publicity.

Li Chengqi: "..."

Since he became the emperor, it has been rare for him to be so speechless.

If Xie Mingyue can live younger and younger and change her appearance, Li Chengqi is willing to believe that this is Xie Mingyue.

Thank you Mingyue won't!

The crowd whispered.

Ji coughed lightly, and the discussion stopped.

The young man surrounded by them saw the little emperor standing at the gate of the hall to greet him, and the smile on his lips froze.

Lord Hou, you really found me a good job.he thought.

The visitor was raised by Xie Mingyue since childhood, because Xie Mingyue had no wives, concubines and heirs, and treated him like a parent and child, so everyone called him Xie Che, the young master.

In order to curry favor with Xie Che, the person who sent the order directly referred to the young master as the master.

The Ji family whispered behind the emperor: "This is the son of Marquis Yujing, Xie Che."

Although Li Chengqi knew who Xie Che was, she still felt that Ji was very appropriate, so she tilted her head slightly, and nodded to her to show that she heard.

First, the emperor waited for his courtiers with wet hair, some courtiers came to visit the emperor later, and some of them didn’t even come, but only let their sons come. Such a shame and humiliation made everyone look at the little emperor, expecting his reaction.

To their disappointment, before Li Chengqi could speak, Xie Che had already walked over quickly, about to kowtow to see him, Li Chengqi helped him up, and Xie Che raised his head.

But seeing the young man's eyes were slightly red, he didn't know whether it was anger or something, but his expression was very panicked, as if he was afraid that Xie Che would be dissatisfied with him and he would be crippled.

Li Chengqi hinted that her own reaction was probably correct. In his memory, although Li Yin treated the palace people to the point of tyranny, fearing power but not morality, facing the imposing Xie Che, he would naturally be terrified.

Xie Che was speechless for a moment.

It's just that the story of Xie Mingyue's killing of the three emperors on the first day spread too widely. In the past dynasties, the abolished princes would be abolished, and they would be killed if they were not abolished.The ancestors ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, and treated people with tenderness. Xie Mingyue was the first insane courtier.

He looked at Li Chengqi's sincere and terrified face, and felt that if he didn't speak again, the little emperor would cry in fright, and said: "I am Xie Che, the son of Marquis Yujing. My father felt unwell after seeing the empress dowager. Your majesty has a sick face, so I have to order my ministers to see him, and ask your majesty to punish him for disrespect."

He said a lot, but Li Chengqi didn't listen at all. Xie Mingyue didn't even want to think about it carefully. It is refreshing.

Li Chengqi couldn't help but lamented that time was like running water, when she came to see him with Xie Mingyue, she walked staggeringly, and the little fan with a milky voice had grown into such an outstanding boy.

Xie Che, right? I hugged you alone.

Li Chengqi said heartily.

Xie Che felt that Li Chengqi's eyes were very subtle, so subtle that he couldn't even tell what kind of eyes they were. This eyes were not malicious, which made him a little embarrassed.

If Li Chengqi showed his anger and resentment too clearly, he would be indifferent, but Li Chengqi only looked at him with black and white eyes, as if afraid, but it made him feel guilty.

By the way, I would like to sigh again that the job Xie Mingyue gave him is really great.

"How dare you." Li Chengqi said in a low voice, only he knew how much effort he had to swallow to swallow the sentence that you were scared and cried when you saw an orphan before.

"Since His Majesty is still ill, don't stand on the wind." Xie Che reminded intimately.

Li Chengqi's face turned red immediately, Nuonuo murmured: "Please, Young Master."

Xie Che naturally refused.

It's not that he is a humble and respectful person, but that Li Chengqi looks too weak and harmless, which gives Xie Che a feeling that he can no longer bully people like this.

Li Chengqi was panicked, but Xie Che insisted on this and he didn't dare to insist, so he had to walk in front, less than two steps away from Xie Che, but he had to look back every step.

Xie Che: "..."

Although this gesture was a bit pretentious, the little emperor did it very sincerely. Xie Che looked at his slightly wet eyelashes and swallowed everything he wanted to say.

The son of the vassal king came to Beijing, he was still young, not a weak crown, no strong relatives to help, and no one in the court dared to publicly express support for the little emperor, so his fear was understandable.

After entering the main hall, Xie Che was finally able to sit down and drink a cup of tea after he declined some more seats.

Li Chengqi said in a soft voice: "I have something to say with the young master, you all step back."

This voice sounds unaccustomed at first, but it is not bad after listening to it for a long time. If Li Chengqi spoke in a tone when he was Emperor Wen, some people would have thought that he was angry and knelt down on the ground.

Li Chengqi is not ashamed, but proud.

How pitiful and lovely.He praised himself in his heart.

Xie Che didn't know what he was thinking, took a sip of tea and then gently put down the cup.

Li Chengqi said nervously, "Is there anything wrong?"

Li Chengqi knew very well that the tea in the palace might not be as good as that in Xie Mingyue's mansion, it's normal for Xie Che not to drink it.

Compared with Xie Mingyue, Xie Che is a honest person. Naturally, anyone compared with Xie Mingyue is honest and pure in Li Chengqi's heart. He will not speak out in front of the little emperor who sees him like a mouse meeting a cat. Drink, and I have to try my best to find a reason to prevaricate.

Xie Che felt that the tea was not good, and the brewing was even worse. The water temperature had long passed the right time. The tea soup was too thick and bitter. To him, it tasted like thicker pot water. He heard Li Chengqi quivering. Xie Che thought that the other party was thinking about some irrelevant things again, so he picked up the teacup and replied, "It's nothing."

Li Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief.

From Xie Che's point of view, Li Chengqi couldn't hide anything, even his shoulders softened when he relaxed.

He bowed his head and took another sip abruptly.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty drink?" Xie Che suddenly realized.

Because he doesn't want to drink.

Xie Che couldn't get used to drinking, and he couldn't get used to it even more.

"Gu's illness is just right, the imperial doctor said Gu can't drink tea." Li Chengqi said.

He answered so sincerely that Xie Che didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Under Li Chengqi's cautious yet hopeful eyes, Xie Che insisted on drinking half a cup. If Li Chengqi hadn't opened his mouth, he might have to continue drinking tea in suspense.

Li Chengqi looked at Xie Che's face while speaking, "To be able to go to the capital alone, I have to rely on Grand Tutor Xie. Everything I have on my body is due to Grand Tutor Xie. I have nothing to thank, but I will only worry about work late at night and retreat from the court. In order to thank Taifu."

He spoke very fluently, so fluently that he had memorized it before.

I'm afraid it was taught by the gentlemen of the imperial study.

Xie Che thought.

Xie Che knew a little about the little emperor. He knew that the little emperor never read, and would make a fuss if he memorized two books. Li Chengqi couldn't say this by himself.

Xie Che only had one question after hearing this: Does he really know what it means to worry about work at night and to retire from the court?

Xie Che did not refute the following words, but said: "It is not my father who chooses His Majesty, but all the officials think that His Majesty can be a king." There is also Li Yan's letter, he added in his heart, "Nowadays, the world belongs to Your Majesty, why bother?" So presumptuous."

Li Chengqi didn't dare to say any more, as if she was afraid of saying the wrong thing again, she said anxiously: "Young Master, drink tea."

Xie Che regretted it at the beginning, he meant to be polite, but Li Chengqi took it as a reproach.

Xie Che gulped down another sip, but because it was too bad to drink, he finally couldn't help but put a piece of plum cake into his mouth to dilute the bitterness.

Li Chengqi looked at his hesitant expression and thought it was very funny. In fact, it was not necessarily because Xie Che was teasing Xie Che, but because Xie Mingyue, an old fox, raised such a thin-skinned and talkative child, it was very interesting in itself.

When Li Chengqi was young, there were internal and external troubles, the Zhou Dynasty was precarious, and the building was about to collapse. At that time, he was full of unwillingness and calculations, and he was cautious in every step, for fear that the slightest mistake would fail. He may never have thought that a young man who grew up safely and smoothly , perhaps as it should.

Li Chengqi tried to soften her voice, "In any case, Gu is very grateful to Marquis Yujing."

What do you thank him for?Xie Che felt puzzled from the bottom of his heart.

The young man's cheeks were pink, as if he had never said something like this before, "My mother is a step-mother, and there are many handsome side concubines and aunts in the palace. They don't like my mother very much, and naturally they don't like me even more. , the palace was very chaotic, and my mother was always so angry that she shed tears, if it wasn’t for Marquis Yujing, I would still be in Anzhou.” He smiled at Xie Che, as if embarrassed, “Beijing is very good , no one dares to bully us."

Xie Che met Li Chengqi's eyes and was surprised to find that he didn't seem to be lying.

Xie Che was slightly taken aback.

"Young master?" Li Chengqi was shorter than him, sitting on a chair of the same height with her face upturned.

The young man's face was so soft and harmless that no one could bear to speak harshly to him.

For a moment, Xie Che even wondered if Xie Mingyue let him come here because he couldn't bear to treat this young man.

Impossible.

This was Xie Che's thought after regaining consciousness.

"Your Majesty's status is respected," Xie Che said softly, "In Beijing, no one dares to bully His Majesty."

This is a lie.

If the little emperor can grow up safely, he will find that he is surrounded by greedy and ambitious people.

Also including Xie Che.

The guilt that had just dissipated in Xie Che's heart returned, and he changed the subject and said, "The refreshments in Your Majesty's palace are delicious."

Li Chengqi could clearly see the change in Xie Che's expression.

The old fox, who is used to not being a man, nodded his head heavily, as if he felt that someone praised the cook as a matter of honor to him, "Gu also thinks it is delicious, among which sugar steamed shortbread cheese and wine fermented cherries are the best." He said As he spoke, he lowered himself again, even drooping the tails of his slightly raised eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing his appearance, Xie Che felt very much like the little rabbit raised by a noble lady, which made him want to go up and rub it.

"The gentlemen said that a gentleman should not focus on his appetite, and the queen mother told the imperial dining room to cook less for orphans."

This is also what impressed Li Yin deeply. Li Chengqi recalled being very helpless at this time.

He clearly said that he was a lonely person, but his words were full of childishness.

Xie Che laughed.

He kind of understands that Li Yanhui only likes Li Chengqi, who is so simple and unscheming that no one will hate her.

Thinking of such a child becoming the emperor, Xie Che's heart sank suddenly.

But, how many years will such innocence last?

Previously, he was pampered by King Ping, so he could have been an ignorant prince, but now... who will protect him, and who can protect him?

"A bit pedantic." Xie Che replied.

Li Chengqi nodded in agreement.

It seemed that he rarely had people of the same age as him around him, and the previous fear gradually faded away, so he couldn't help but talk more with them.

Xie Che was afraid of scaring him, and always agreed with everything Li Chengqi said.

The two chatted for a full hour. During this period, although Li Chengqi's mouth was dry, she followed the doctor's advice very much. She didn't take a sip of tea, and poured tea for Xie Che herself from time to time.

It was getting late, Xie Che said goodbye.

Li Chengqi happily sent him outside, and even had a lot to say.

Xie Che tilted his head, and Li Chengqi's figure was slowly moving away. When he noticed his gaze, he tiptoed to wave to him regardless of the emperor's dignity.

Xie Che came back to his senses, and waved to Li Chengqi in a small way.

In Li Chengqi's eyes, this action was like a kitten waving its claws, so she smiled brighter.

Seeing that he smiled, Xie Che was in a good mood, turned around, and the female officer accompanying him kept her eyes fixed on him, as if she didn't see anything.

Li Chengqi returned to the palace with such a bright smile on his face, some palace servants looked familiar in front of him, and said softly: "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

Li Chengqi was indeed very happy, so she casually replied, "I feel very happy to see Master Xiaohou."

Is it boring to tease children?

He had thanked Xie Mingyue and Xie Che eloquently before, Xie Che's neck was red, and he wanted to get under the table after being told.

Li Chengqi picked up a piece of pine nut crystal candy and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes with a smile.

Someone like Xie Mingyue would never tease Xie Che, so let him do it.

"Young Master likes it, and those who make tea and snacks will be rewarded today." Li Chengqi chewed the sugar and swallowed it.

"Yes." The palace man blessed himself.

Outside Xie's mansion, Xie Che, who had just finished briefly talking to Xie Mingyue about what he saw and heard today, came out as if he had been amnesty, and happened to meet Meng Chun, the son of Duke Anguo who was about to dismount.

Seeing him coming out, Meng Chun turned back on his horse, "Come out after seeing your father just now?"

Xie Che nodded with a heavy expression.

The two horses ran side by side, Meng Chun said: "I heard that you went to see the little emperor?"

"The new emperor." Xie Che corrected him, and he was stunned for a moment just as he said the words.

Meng Chun waved his hands, disapprovingly: "Xindi, new emperor, little... How about the new emperor? Is it really as it is said in the court?"

It is rumored in the court that the little emperor is ignorant, stupid and ignorant, but he is a puppet carefully selected by the regent and Taifu Xie to be pleasing to the eye and not hinder them from exercising power.

"I can see something from just one side." Xie Che replied casually.

"You can't see the inside, but you can always tell by the appearance," Meng Chun had never met the little emperor, so he was naturally curious why Li Yan chose such a prince's son when he didn't like anyone. He suddenly lowered his voice , "Is it very similar to the late emperor?"

Xie Che was poked at the center, whipped his horse, and only said, "How do I know, I have never seen the late emperor."

He shook his head, trying his best to get rid of the memory of the late emperor hugging him, and howling and crying in fright.
