Chapter 14
Jiang Dehai returned to Yonghua Palace and told Zhao Qi the exact conversation he had with Rong Tang.
"I don't know if it's a slave's illusion. When Mr. Rong heard that the emperor felt sorry for him, he seemed to feel a little guilty."
Zhao Qi was a little strange: "It's normal for Rong Tang to think I'm dirty. When did I feel sorry for him?"
Jiang Dehai chuckled: "The servant said that to test Mr. Rong. According to the servant, Mr. Rong doesn't seem to be as resistant to the emperor as he used to be. The emperor is really sincere, and gold and stone are the same."
Zhao Qi said very confidently: "Impossible, if Rong Tang opened it for me, sows can climb the tree. By the way, is there any news from Dali Temple, who stole my little peach?!"
Jiang Dehai said: "Why don't the emperor Upload to Dali Temple Minister to ask?"
"Oh?" Zhao Qi is eager to try, he has been emperor for so long, and he has not sent any minister to ask questions. He cleared his throat and said: "Then, pass on."
Jiang Dehai: "Slave, go now."
After a cup of tea, Jiang Dehai came back, and Zhao Xi looked behind him, seeing no one, and asked: " Where is the person?"
Jiang Dehai wondered: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen, Minister of Dali Temple, is discussing matters with the prime minister in the Qinzheng Hall. When the servant went to invite him, the prime minister said..."
"What did you say?"
"You said that Lord Chen can't leave now. , If the emperor has something to do, please go to the Qinzheng Hall to find him."
Zhao Qi: "..." As expected of Xiao's treacherous minister, he is really arrogant. I was very angry, and the consequences were—quiet.
Nonsense, that's Xiao Shiqing, even if the emperor changes his position as chief assistant, he won't lose it. How far away can it be, just make do with it.
Zhao Qi waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll ask Mr. Chen another day for questioning."
While speaking, a little eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang is asking to see you."
Zhao Xi didn't even think about it, "No see .”
"But your majesty, Mr. Jiang was crying so sad outside."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Qi was a little impatient, thinking that sooner or later he would find a reason to dismiss all the beauties from the harem. "Let him in."
"Your Majesty—" Jiang Baoer cried and rushed towards Zhao Qi when he saw Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi flashed nimbly, managed to avoid it, and asked: "Why is the baby crying so sad? Who bullied you?"
Jiang Bao'er had tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, Bao'er is no longer the original Bao'er. ...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... ”
Zhao Xi was given a headache by his crying, “Why don’t you go out and cry first, and then come in when you have cried enough?”
Jiang Bao’er immediately stopped crying, and said shyly: “Bao’er remembers the emperor’s instruction , can’t be weak and sick like Mr. Rong, so I take other brothers and sisters to run circles in the harem every day..."
Zhao Qi praised: "This is a good thing."
"But!" Jiang Baoer said aggrieved, "This month Run down, Bao'er's legs... Bao'er's legs have grown thicker, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Qi: "...Pfft. Come on, let me have a look."
Jiang Bao'er lifted the hem of his clothes, and Zhao Qi stared at it . Looking at his calf for a while, he said honestly: "It's really thick."
Jiang Bao'er cried out loudly, "Bao'er knows that the emperor always likes soft and slender beauties, and now Bao'er has become like this, I really have no face to stay in the palace to serve the emperor."
Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, "Have you finally figured it out, are you leaving me? Happy event!"
"No, the emperor is Bao'er's life, and Bao'er will die if she leaves the emperor. Yes!"
"...Then what do you want to do?"
"Bao'er wants to ask the emperor Xuan imperial physician to show Bao'er. Bao'er has eaten and drank less than usual, why are her limbs swollen like this!"
Zhao Qi frowned, "It's useless to seek an imperial physician for your symptoms."
Jiang Baoer was desperate, "Then who should Baoer turn to?"
"Look for me." Zhao Xi said nonsense in a serious manner, "Go and call the others, and I will teach you a set of peerless exercises that can strengthen your body without making your legs thicker."
Jiang Baoer was overjoyed: " Baoer is going now!"
Jiang Dehai was stunned: "Your Majesty, when did you know martial arts?"
Zhao Qi stood up, exercising his muscles and bones, with a firm expression, "As the emperor of Dajing, I still have many things that I can't hide. Lu, just open your eyes and watch—you’re making a fool of yourself!”
After going to Muyang Temple, Zhao Qi deeply realized how weak he was, and hanging a horse from a tree could cost him half his life. It can't go on like this, the body is the capital of the revolution, he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life holding the medicine jar like Rong Tang. He wants to exercise, and he wants to exercise with his beauties.
Zhao Qi changed into some light clothes and came to the Imperial Garden, where the beauties were waiting for him. Zhao Qi counted—hey, why is there one more?
Wait, the one standing at the back seems to be...
Zhao Qi rubbed his eyes and looked again—it was really Rong Tang!
All the beauties present were of unfathomable beauty, but Rongtang was still the most conspicuous one, with a cool and cool demeanor, standing among all the beauties, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as standing out from the crowd.
Zhao Qi called Jiang Baoer and asked: "Why did you call Rong Tang here?"
Jiang Baoer said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Rong is also one of the beauties in the harem."
"But he never came before."
" Yes." , but today he just hesitated for a moment, and then he came."
"..." What should I do, is he going to pass on that set of "peerless magical skills" to Rong Tang? Zhao Qi imagined that scene, feeling complicated.
Zhao Qi looked at Rong Tang, Rong Tang also looked at him, there seemed to be something more in his eyes besides the usual indifference and alienation.
Zhao Qi walked over and talked to him bravely: "How are you... how are you?"
Rong Tang nodded lightly, "Shang Ke." After speaking, he coughed lightly.
Zhao Qi scratched his head and asked again: "Have you eaten my little peach ?
"
If you don't want to eat it, return it to me, don't throw it away."
"Didn't the emperor say that he never touched Zaotao before?"
"..." Oops, it's revealed.
Looking at the troubled Zhao Qi, Rong Tang smiled very shallowly, "The emperor called everyone here, what's the matter?"
Jiang Dehai said, "The emperor said that there is a set of peerless magic skills that he wants to pass on to all beauties."
Rong Tang: "Huh?"
Zhao Qi was ashamed: "Shut up. Rong Tang, you go and rest, this set of magical skills is not suitable for you."
Rong Tang has no interest in the so-called magical skills, "I have something to say to you . The emperor said."
Zhao Qi widened his eyes and said in shock: "Ah?" He turned to Jiang Dehai, "Did I hear wrong?"
Rong Tang: "..."
Jiang Dehai, who thought he could see through everything, said: "Your Majesty heard it right, Mr. Rong said he has something to tell you!"
"Oh," Zhao Xi was a little at a loss, "then you wait for me, I will talk to you after I teach them." In
Qinzheng Hall, Dali Temple Minister Chen Daren and Mr. Pan from the Ministry of Rites stood on thin ice in front of Xiao Shiqing. Xiao Shiqing asked: "Does Master Chen know why the emperor announced you?" Master
Chen: "It must be because of the theft of Muyang Temple."
"Then Master Chen found out something?"
Master Chen wiped his sweat, " The minister, the minister did not find anything."
Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows casually, "The majestic Dali Temple is helpless against a theft case. Master Chen, do you think this makes sense?"
"Your, lower official is guilty." Mr. Chen wanted to cry, but he didn't find out, he didn't dare to say it!
Mr. Pan couldn't bear to see his colleagues suffer, so he kindly reminded: "Mr. Chen, no matter what you find out, you must give the emperor an answer. If the emperor believes it, your errand will be over.
" I understand!"
Xiao Shiqing said with a smile: "Master Pan is really very witty—how are you preparing for the matter of Chunwei ?" Master
Pan: "Return to the Prime Minister, everything is going well."
"But the truth is that there is a rumor circulating in Beijing There are 1,000 taels of silver for each examination question, and the question sellers claim that it is 'replacement'. " Now Master
Pan is not calm anymore, his forehead is covered with sweat, "I will check it right away."
Xiao Shiqing nodded, "Go down." After the
two adults retreated, Xiao Shiqing read the memorial for a while absently, and said, "Come here."
The hidden guard who was hiding in the dark immediately appeared, "Prime Minister."
"Why didn't the emperor come? "Xiao Shiqing said, "Didn't you ask him to come to Qinzheng Palace to ask for someone." The
dark guard: "Go back to the prime minister, Eunuch Jiang brought the prime minister's words behind, the emperor said forget it, he will ask Mr. Chen another day for questioning."
" Then what is he doing now?"
"Back to the prime minister, the emperor is playing with the beauties in the harem in the imperial garden."
Xiao Shiqing sneered, "It's hard to change your nature - which beauty is he with?"
"All."
Xiao Shiqing's face changed slightly, "What?" The
dark guard spoke convincingly: "Prime Minister, the emperor is having fun with all the beauties in the harem, including Mr. Rong from
Zuizhai." Xiao Shiqing closed the notebook with a snap, "He is not afraid of exhaustion!"
Xiao Shiqing put down a bunch of important tasks and rushed to the Imperial Garden. Before people saw it, they heard Zhao Qi's voice: "Walk on the spot—one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, stop! The first section, stretching exercise..."
Xiao Shiqing: "Are you sure they are playing?" The
dark guard: "Uh, isn't it?"
Zhao Xi held a cane in his hand, shouting passwords, and occasionally stopped to correct the beauties' mistakes: "Second quarter expansion Chest exercise—hey, the one in the second row and third row hasn't eaten, why are his hands so limp, straighten them straight!"
Zhao Xi taught seriously, and didn't see Xiao Shiqing. The sharp-eyed Jiang Dehai saw him, and ran all the way over: "I have seen the prime minister."
"What is the emperor doing?"
"The emperor is teaching all beauties how to practice martial arts."
Xiao Shiqing sneered, "What kind of martial arts is this? Nonsense." He looked at it for a while, and said: "Rong Tang is here. Why doesn't he need to practice?"
Jiang Dehai: "Young Master Rong is not in good health, the emperor loves him so much, let him rest aside."
Xiao Shiqing smiled, " Our emperor really knows how to pity and cherish jade." He walked behind Zhao Qi, and said coolly: "Has the emperor had enough trouble?"
Zhao Qi was so frightened that he threw away the rattan, "Prime Minister? Why are you always elusive!"
"When you've had enough trouble, follow me to Qinzheng Hall," Xiao Shiqing said, "I have something to say." Before
Zhao Qi could answer, Rong Tang walked over, "The emperor finished teaching?"
Zhao Qi looked at Rong Tang , looked at Xiao Shiqing again, and said: "Prime Minister, I promised Rongtang to talk to him first."
"Really," Xiao Shiqing smiled, "Then the emperor chooses one—the minister or him."
