Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 206 I Treat You As A Brother
The post of the master book of the palace is mainly in charge of the seals of documents and books.This official is neither big nor small, it is important if it is important, and it is not important if it is not important.Wei Siqi, as the master of the Chu Palace, his daily work was to provide the required documents for the King of Chu, and stamp the military orders issued by the King of Chu.

Originally, he planned to flex his muscles under the command of the King of Chu and stand out from the crowd.But the facts are very shocking. Whether it is Xue Shou, Du Ruhui, Xue Yuanjing, Chu Suiliang, or Chu Liang, Duan Zhixuan, these people are more capable than him.His talent is not considered outstanding in Chu Palace, and as time passed, the pride in his heart gradually disappeared.Although he has a good relationship with Du Ruhui, it doesn't mean that he can be reused in the palace.

Without real talent and learning, relying on relationships will not last long after all.

But recently, the situation took a turn for the better. The King of Chu began to ask him his views on some major issues, and even asked him to help investigate the case of theft of ordnance from the Ministry of Industry.

However, his talent is not as good as Du Ruhui's, so he is not as smart as Xue Yuanjing when it comes to investigating the case of ordnance theft from the Ministry of Industry.

Under such circumstances, Wei Siqi approached Du Ruhui for advice.This was his chance to show himself in front of the King of Chu, so he was naturally unwilling to let it go easily.

To his friends, Du Ruhui naturally wouldn't hide it, and told everything he knew.

At the end, Du Ruhui suddenly asked a digression.

"Miss Gui hasn't promised anyone yet, has she?"

Wei Siqi was startled, and said: "It's not that you don't know the identity of your cousin, how can she be so easy?"

Du Ruhui frowned and said, "The former Sui Dynasty has been destroyed, so it shouldn't matter."

"Of course it's not because of this." Wei Siqi sighed: "Since my uncle left, my cousin lived with Shun Niang because of Li Min. She was really lonely. Although it is now a new dynasty, how could my cousin marry me at will? .”

Wei's daughter naturally has no worries about marrying, but Wei Gui's situation is special.A noble family, there is still a little worry about Wei Gui's past, after all, she is a traitor's family.For ordinary people, Webster doesn't bother to marry.

This has caused Wei Gui to be too high to be low.

Wei Siqi didn't say the more important reason.That is, the third uncle Wei Yuanzhao is now in charge of Wei's family, and he always doesn't care about the children of the two elder brothers.

"Why are you asking this?" Wei Siqi asked him puzzled.Although Du Ruhui knew his cousin, it seemed that the relationship between the two was not so good.He wouldn't be surprised if Mrs. Du asked him such a question. After all, his cousin and Mrs. Du are best friends, but if Du Ruhui, an old man, asks such a question, it's hard not to make people suspect that he has ulterior motives.

Could it be that this bastard wants to be his cousin?
"Okay, I regard you as a brother, but you miss my cousin! Du Ruhui, I misjudged you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Du Ruhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I always respect and love my wife, why did I have such delusional thoughts, you blamed me."

"Then what do you mean?" Wei Siqi asked persistently.

Du Ru's dark eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "A few days ago, the King of Chu came to see me at the mansion, and happened to meet Mrs. Gui, and gave Xiao Shunniang a jade pendant."

"Oh." Wei Siqi nodded, suddenly, his mind froze, "What did you say?"

"I said, when His Highness came to see me at the mansion, he met Mrs. Gui by chance and gave Xiao Shunniang a jade pendant."

Wei Siqi was stunned for a while, then recovered and looked at Du Ruhui.

At this time, Du Ruhui also looked at him.

Eye-to-eye contact, the understanding between men and men, sometimes there is no need to express it directly.

"Is your highness interested in my cousin?"

The more he thought about it, the more Wei Siqi felt it was possible.Although his cousin married once, her status and appearance are not inferior to that of a boudoir girl.

"I don't know." Du Ruhui said nonsense with his eyes open, he never liked to use this method to please the lord, he always felt like a courtier.

"Keming, between you and me, do you still have to hide it?" Wei Siqi pretended to be unhappy.

Du Ruhui coughed dryly, "It's not a minister's job to talk about the emperor behind his back. I can only tell you that His Highness seems to like Xiao Shunniang very much, and wants her to go to the palace to play with the concubine's daughter."

Wei Siqi was not stupid to make such an explicit statement, so he naturally understood.

However, he was not overly happy, instead he said: "Could it be that His Highness has reused me recently because of his cousin?"

Du Ruhui squinted at him and asked, "When did you see His Highness reuse relatives?"

Hearing this, Wei Siqi thought about it and found that there really wasn't one.

After being silent for a while, Wei Siqi asked, "Then do you think this is okay?"

"You have to ask yourself this question, as well as Miss Gui. Of course, Miss Gui is the main one. If she has no objection, we can naturally give it a try." After a pause, Du Ruhui added: "Your Majesty, we still need Make sure, lest all of this is just speculation by us, and in the end we do bad things with good intentions."

After thinking for a while, Du Ruhui said, "There is also Princess Chu. If Princess Chu is not informed about this matter, you and I may offend her."

While talking, Du Ruhui simply shut up, he thought to himself, he is really not suitable to be a lucky minister.

Wei Siqi gritted his teeth and said, "I'd better ask my cousin first. No, let's observe and observe first. If His Highness is really interested, I will try my best to help."

It's really not good for him to decide on his own.

"Your Highness must be very happy if you think so." Du Ruhui said.

Wei Siqi left with a happy and troubled mood.

Madam Du came out from the back hall with tea and sat beside Du Ruhui.

"Madam, do you think His Highness is interested in Miss Gui?" Du Ruhui asked while drinking tea.

Mrs. Du said savagely: "It must be intentional."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because that's how you saw me back then."

Du Ruhui: (°ー°〃)
Mrs. Du: ()
After Wei Siqi returned home, he thought about it, and always felt that this matter was an opportunity for him.

Now that the King of Chu is flourishing, Du Ruhui learned that the promotion of the King of Chu has been mixed with the title of Inspector of Liangzhou. Although it is an empty title, if it is released in two years, it will be the Inspector of a Party.Xue Shou also has many meritorious deeds, and he will definitely be a governor in the future.

What about him?

Even if the small master book is released in the future, I am afraid that it will be a county magistrate, a humble official.

If the cousin and the king of Chu can really succeed, then it is not that he has no chance to climb up.

After thinking about it, he began to be moved, and felt that this matter must be carefully observed. As long as he confirmed that King Chu was really interested, he could find a way to persuade his cousin.

Having said that, the cousin is still young, and she will definitely marry in the future. Whoever she marries is not married. If she can marry the King of Chu, she will not lose her status, and she can even go a step further.

Wonderful!

the other side.

Wei Gui was making little shoes under the lights, and the king of Chu gave his daughter a jade pendant, and she wanted to return the gift no matter what.With her current economic level, she definitely can't afford expensive things, so she can only do what she can.

Hearing that the king of Chu has a son and a daughter, she made two pairs of shoes for the king's children with her own hands, as a token of her gratitude.

Xiao Shunniang obediently accompanied her mother.

"Ma'am, is this for me?"

"No, it was made for the children of the uncle's family who gave you the jade pendant."

Xiao Shunniang tilted her head, held the jade pendant in her palm, and asked innocently: "The uncle said that he wanted me to go to his house to play. Aniang, when shall we go?"

Wei Guifen blushed, and said softly, "In the future."

How could she fail to see King Chu's eyes, and she was in a mess right now.
