Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 262
Faced with King Xiu's invitation, Xin You did not refuse: "Thank you, Your Highness King Xiu, for your kindness. I would be disrespectful to refuse."

King Xiu looked at Kong Rui with his warm eyes.

Kong Rui obviously hesitated, but finally nodded.

The two of them watched Xin You get on the carriage and drive away, then returned to their respective homes.

The house given to Xinyou by Emperor Xingyuan was not far away.The house is not big, but it is rare near the imperial city where land is at a premium. It is very suitable for someone like Xin You who does not have a family to support.

Xin You moved in yesterday. When she saw the house, she knew that the person was quite thoughtful.

"I've seen your son."

Xin You walked all the way inside, and the servants all saluted.

These people are all given by the emperor, and they may have been beaten before. No matter how they think about it, their faces are very respectful.

After entering the main room, Xin You sent everyone out, took a shower and changed clothes, changed her appearance again, and then lay down.

The people I had seen during the day flashed through my mind one by one. I wonder if the person named "Dongsheng" was among these faces, and there was no clue about the mark that seemed to be the word "Jun".

Xin You thought that the days of being "Xin Daizhao" might not be short.

A low-level official like Xin You didn't have to go to court. He had a good night's sleep the next morning, and then strolled to the Yamen.

Yes, because she lived close by, she only had to walk. She gained many envious or jealous looks along the way.

Low voices of discussion floated into Xinyou's ears intermittently.

"Where is Yuci's house? It's right next to the imperial city..."

Xin You knew that this strange sight would last for a while, so she remained indifferent to it until someone walked by and a small object was inserted into his wide sleeve.

Her face remained expressionless, her hands dropped downwards, and the thing slid into her palms.

According to touch, it is a small paper ball.

Are you from Mr. He?
Xin You resisted the urge to look back and maintained the pace just now.

Although she is now a man, it is inconvenient to interact with Mr. He.

It's very simple. The interaction between Mr. He and Miss Kou is a private matter and can only be teased a few times.As for interacting with Mr. Xin, let alone what the officials think, I'm afraid that person doesn't want them to get too close.

Xin You walked into the Hanlin Academy and quickened his pace a little. As soon as he entered the waiting room, the bustling atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Xin You smiled at the waiting people who were sitting upright, and when she got to her seat, she spread her palms under the cover of books.

It was indeed a small paper ball.

The paper was opened, and the time and place were written on it, and the signature was the word "zhou".

This was the agreement between the two of them to exchange letters after Xin You was brought to He Qingxiao in the form of Mr. Xin.There is no complicated meaning, just a part of Xin You's "you" and He Qingxiao's "xiao".

It was not convenient to deal with the note here, so Xin You put it away first, then picked up a book and read it.

In the palace, Emperor Xingyuan did not deal with government affairs immediately after coming to court, but instead called to congratulate Qingxiao.

"Who paid attention to Xin Taizhao yesterday?"

"Reporting to your majesty, there are Meng Jijiu, ministers and ministers of various ministries, the eldest princess..." He Qingxiao reported many people in one breath, and finally said, "Xin Daizhao had dinner at the eldest princess's residence, and after leaving, he met His Highness Prince Xiu. His Royal Highness King Xiu has invited him and Marquis Jing'an to have tea today."

When Emperor Xingyuan heard that so many people were paying attention to Xin Mu, he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

That’s it for everyone else. King Xiu asked Xin Mu to have tea?

"What's the show king's attitude?"

He Qingxiao said truthfully: "His Royal Highness King Xiu is very friendly to Xin Daizhao."

Emperor Xingyuan frowned, and his first reaction was disbelief.

He has ignored this eldest son for too long and cannot even speak of understanding him. But he will be very friendly to someone who suddenly appears and poses a big threat?

"Qingxiao, Xin Daizhao, I don't trust the others and I can't trust them. It's better for you to keep an eye on them yourself."

He didn't want to wait until someone hurt the child, or the child ran away like Xinxin, and then regretted it.

"Yes." He Qingxiao responded, sighing for Xin You in her heart.

This was why he didn't want her to go into the deep pool.

Once you enter the game, freedom is like a mirror in the mirror and ceases to exist.

"Your Majesty, if necessary, can I contact Xin Daizhao?" He Qingxiao asked tentatively.It would be too easy to fall into someone's trap if you communicate in secret. It would be much easier if you could get through it in front of the emperor.

Emperor Xingyuan is most worried about King Xiu now, followed by the maternal clan forces of several young princes.It's not that they are afraid that they will act like monsters openly, which can be dealt with easily, but that they will secretly be detrimental to Xin Mu.

Hidden arrows are the hardest to guard against.

For He Qingxiao, he didn't worry about this.

He Qingxiao had an embarrassing background, and all the power was given by him as the emperor, so he had no reason to hurt Xin Mu.

"Everything is cheap."

He Qingxiao felt relieved.

With the emperor's words, he no longer had to worry about being slandered by someone who wanted to interact with Xin You.

"Go."

"Wei Chen retire."

After He Qingxiao left, Emperor Xingyuan dealt with government affairs for a while, and then ordered the eunuch accompanying him: "Send a message to the Hanlin Academy to wait for Xin Mu to come to the palace to see him."

Sun Yan's eyes flashed slightly.

He thought that the emperor could at least endure it until tomorrow before sending the imperial edict to the palace.

He accompanied the eunuch to the Hanlin Academy to deliver oral instructions.

"The emperor has issued a verbal order to summon Xin Mu to the palace for an audience."

"The minister leads the order."

"Xin Daizhao, please go with our family."

Xinyou stood up and walked towards the eunuch waiting for her.

After the eunuch who delivered the order took Xin You away, several people waiting for the imperial edict in the east hall hesitated for a moment, then approached the people in the west hall and inquired one after another, either directly or tactfully.

"Is Xin Daizhao easy to get along with?"

"Did Xin Daizhao ride in the carriage of the eldest princess's palace yesterday?"

……

A few people barely managed a few words and almost fled back to the west hall.

After waiting for a while, he waited for the fortune telling and sighed: "It's fate."

Ci Daizhao looked aggrieved and recited the poem he had composed last night.

Hua Daizhao, on the other hand, stared at the blank rice paper in front of him, thoughtfully: He was good at painting characters, and Xin Daizhao's bones looked softer than most men, so he should be more handsome.

"Hua Daizhao, what are you thinking about?" Qi Daizhao asked.

Several people are accustomed to calling each other by the skills they are good at.

"I think Xin Daizhao should be more handsome." Hua Daizhao blurted out.

Everyone else rolled their eyes.

This man is crazy!

Xin You walked into the Qianqing Palace with the eunuch and saw Emperor Xingyuan who was reading the memorial.

Big and long eyes, black eyebrows, and naturally white skin.

Looking at the eyebrows and eyes that were so similar to her own, Xin You couldn't help but think for a moment: She was so similar to this person, and she didn't know if her mother would occasionally have the idea of ​​​​beating her when she looked at her.

"My minister has seen His Majesty."

Emperor Xingyuan put down the memorial and invited Xin You to come closer. After looking at it for a while, he asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you still used to it in the Hanlin Academy? Are you still used to your residence?"

"Everything is fine, Wei Chen."

Emperor Xingyuan asked a lot of questions, and Sun Yan couldn't listen anymore.

I never expected that the emperor would be such a long-winded person.

At this moment, the chamberlain reported that Zhang Shoufu wanted to see him.
