Work overtime

Chapter 215 Another Progress
Jiang Jinxiu returned to the next room, quite bored, unable to sleep.

The serving maids did not dare to neglect, and brought a lot of exquisite snacks, and introduced them to Jiang Jinxiu.

It was already noon, and Li Beichen was still busy in the next room.

Jiang Jinxiu was already hungry, but also liked to eat snacks, so she buried her head in eating snacks and ate them happily.

When the emperor called her over for dinner, she was eating crabapple cakes with relish, like a little squirrel.

During the meal, Chen Ning was also together.This surprised Jiang Jinxiu.

Li Beichen chatted with Chen Ning while eating, and he didn't shy away from Jiang Jinxiu, which surprised Chen Ning.

Which concubine of the emperor is this, who is so favored that she has to take it with her for lunch.The eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to that heroine, only thinner and purer.

Chen Ning came this time to ask Li Beichen to bring Zhang Xin, the younger sister of Zhang Xiao, the illegitimate son of the former Minister of the Household Department, out of Yeting and give it to him as a reward.Chen Ning gave the emperor a detailed report on the whole process of the trial of Zhang Xiao.

Li Beichen told Chen Ning about Zhang's suicide in Ye Ting and the escape of the two sons of the Zhang family, and asked Chen Ning's opinion.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ning decided that it was hard to say whether he should escape, be robbed or rescued.There is a high probability that it will be murdered.The two sons-in-law are already dead, or will be killed sooner or later.The mouth of the dead is the most reliable.

Now the other party is just trying to pour dirty water on the former Minister of the Household Department and his family, creating the illusion that the illegitimate son was dissatisfied with his father's beheading, bought murder and took the risk, and then after being discovered by the emperor, the whole family committed suicide or ran away in fear of crime.

Jiang Jinxiu ate too much pastry, so he couldn't eat it at all.In addition, the first time I ate with the emperor, I was extremely nervous, so after eating a little bit, I stopped moving my chopsticks.

Li Beichen thought that the food in the north was not to her liking, so she ordered the cook to make Suzhou dish whitebait egg custard.

After serving it, Jiang Jinxiu was still not interested.

"Why don't you eat it? Does it not suit your appetite?" Li Beichen asked with concern.

Jiang Jinxiu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "The food is all delicious. I just ate a lot of dim sum next door, and I really can't eat any more."

At this time Xu Fuhai rushed back from Yeting and waited on him.Because Chen Ning was no outsider to this matter, the emperor asked Xu Fuhai to state the case directly.

"Ms. Zhang left a letter saying that if her son disappeared during the exile, he must have been kidnapped. We need to find Lin Sitian, the servant of the household department. He paid for the murder."

"Lin Sitian? Hand over the relevant evidence to Dali Temple. Hurry up, don't let Lin Sitian commit suicide again. Arrest his family too!" After hearing this, Li Beichen felt incredible.

It turned out that it was not the superior but the subordinate who instructed Zhang to pay for the murder.What enmity or resentment do the subordinates have for murdering the emperor?What benefit can I get?

After murdering the emperor, Lin Sitian couldn't be the prime minister either. In the hands of the new emperor, at most he could be the Minister of the Household Department?But more likely to be killed.After all, there is one emperor and one courtier.

Lin Sitian is from Zhejiang, his teacher is Chen Xiang, and the leader in charge is also Chen Xiang, but he is from the same hometown as Meng Xiang.

Is it worth it to rebel and seek rebellion in order to get promoted?
After talking about the case, the three of them lost their appetite.

Chen Ning shook his head, "I always feel like I'm deliberately hiding something about this matter. Your Majesty, I have a premonition that Prime Minister Meng will come to see the Emperor at night."

"I also have this hunch."

Just as he was talking, a soldier sent an emergency report from eight hundred miles away, "There is a rebellion on the northwest border. Request for support."

Things come one after the other, crammed together.

As soon as he heard the urgent report, he thought of the "military disaster" in the prophecy mentioned by Yuan Tianshi.

I have already made some mental preparations, but I am not so panicked.

Li Beichen said that he knew.Let Chen Ning retreat first.

Even if we have money now, it can't solve the problem of soldiers and food, and it won't help.If the Northwest and the Tatars go to war on both sides, they will inevitably suffer from the enemy.

Tatars still have to hold on.At this time, Li Beichen thought of Munchback, and thought about the current situation again.Thinking of what Yuan Tianshi said yesterday, I had an idea in my heart.

Li Beichen washed his hands well, rinsed his mouth again, and was in a good mood.

"Come with me to the lake. Can you play the flute?"

Jiang Jinxiu replied shyly: "Yes, but not as good as my sister. She is good at both flute and flute. Gentlemen praise her for being smart."

For an idol like her sister, she has always boasted without reservation, expressing her endless admiration.

"Really?" Li Beichen asked curiously, thinking to himself, looking forward to playing with your sister Qinxiao one day.

"Yes. I have never seen anyone more powerful than my sister." Jiang Jinxiu said sweetly.

"That's because you haven't heard me play the flute." Li Beichen said proudly, he didn't understand why he wanted to compete with Jiang Yuebai to win or lose.

"Row."

"Okay?" Li Beichen asked with interest.

"Well," Jiang Jinxiu curled her lips and lowered her head, "You can't say that you are the best just because you are the emperor, right?"

If my sister was here, I'm afraid she would say that because he is the leader, he is right about everything.It doesn't matter that he isn't the best player.The important thing is to make him feel that he is number one in the world.

Li Beichen couldn't help but pick up the flute, "Let's go. Let me see if it's your sister who plays better or me who plays better."

The two left the Qinzheng Hall, the door was empty, and the waiting ministers seemed to have pressed the delete button, and they were all cleaned up.

The ministers have been told to come back in the late afternoon, the emperor does not work at noon, and the business is closed.

A chariot is waiting at the door.But Li Beichen summoned the sedan chair that he had been riding in the morning so that the two of them could ride together, and told Xu Fuhai to go to a secluded and quiet place by the Emerald Lake.

Li Beichen was sitting in the dark carriage, holding the jade flute, smelling the smell of Jiang Yuebai's body, shaking his eyelids from time to time, wanting to sleep again.

Jiang Jinxiu sat on the side chair, resting her cheeks on the emperor and staring intently at the emperor. Thinking of the boudoir that Shen Shixi mentioned, her cheeks blushed unconsciously.

It was only the first day of April at this time, and the weather had not yet warmed up.The lakeside is even more sunny, with flocks of water birds and cool breeze.

Li Beichen stood still under a big tree.

Brewing a breath, straightened his back, and began to play the flute.

And Jiang Jinxiu spread a handkerchief on the ground and sat on the ground.The pink clothes fell on the green grass, beside the rippling Emerald Lake, it was as beautiful as a painting.

Xu Fuhai stood nearby and directed the other eunuchs to prevent her from approaching.

The melodious flute sounded, melodious.It's spread far and wide.

Jiang Jinxiu sat there quietly, not too far away from the emperor, blinking her eyes at the aloof emperor.There is a strange feeling, like a lake of spring water around me, waking up, rolling to the shore wave after wave
There was actually a late-blooming apricot tree by the lake, and pieces of apricot blossoms fell on the grass and onto Jiang Jinxiu's skirt.

It was originally a beautiful scene.

Only Beauty fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it took before someone touched Jiang Jinxiu's arm and asked, "Why, my flute made you fall asleep. Does it sound good or bad? How is it compared to your sister?"

"It sounds good." Jiang Jinxiu rubbed her eyes, still in a daze.

"Why add one?"

The big leader is passionate on the top, but you are sleeping on the bottom.

It's over.

Questions were asked by the leader on the spot.

Doge～
