Chapter 22 The Newcomer Enters the Palace (2)

Dou Fang warned Zhong Weiwei: "Don't think that you are just watching the theater, be careful, your job is not easy to do, and if you are not careful, you will make your whole body smelly.

Don't run outside anymore, unless your Majesty and the Empress Dowager announce you, don't go if anyone tells you, just keep your tea for our own family to drink. "

Zhong Weiwei didn't come to Qingxin Hall for some days, and he felt as if he had been a lifetime away.

Chonghua was not in the palace, Zhao Hongtu was accompanying him, Li Anren was reprimanding the little eunuch under his command, and when he saw her, he came over to find fault: "Who asked you to come? You are not allowed to see unless ordered, you forgot?"

Zhong Weiwei didn't bother to talk to him, lowered his eyes and hid behind Dou Shangyi, leaving all the disputes to his superiors to resolve.

Dou Shangyi smiled and said kind words to Li Anren: "Little Eunuch Li, we are here to ask His Majesty for an order. The nobleman is about to enter the palace, but the follow-up matters have not yet been decided. We really can't delay any longer, otherwise something will happen. If things are investigated, everyone will be in bad luck."

Li Anren then said: "Your Majesty has gone out to observe the soldiers, and I'm afraid he will come back very late tonight. Or, Shangyi, are you coming again after dinner?"

Dou Shangyi didn't dare to leave: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, maybe you have other things to do when you come back, we'd better wait."

Li Anren asked Dou Shangyi to wait in the tea room, and said considerately: "I asked someone to bring an extra meal, and I hope Shangyi will not be disgusted."

Glancing at Zhong Weiwei again, he said in a strange way: "Some people, since they have the ability to climb high branches and leave the Qingxin Temple and never come back, they can find food by themselves. They have no conscience."

Zhong Weiwei didn't even move her eyebrows, it was obviously Chonghua who drove her away, why did she become a high-ranking and heartless person when she came to Li Anren's place?
Isn't the tallest branch in the palace Chonghua himself?It's so unreasonable!

Dou Shangyi looked at Zhong Weiwei, then at Li Anren, she didn't ask any questions, but said with a smile: "Don't dare to trouble Mr. Li, I'm not hungry. If it's convenient, I can give Xiao Zhong a share."

"inconvenient!"

"I'm not hungry!"

Zhong Weiwei and Li Anren spoke out at the same time, and then gave each other a supercilious glance.

Li Anren said angrily: "You try to stare at me again?"

Zhong Weiwei gave him another look: "I just stared at you, what do you want?"

Li Anren stomped his feet: "I'm too lazy to argue with you." He just left like that.

Zhong Weiwei also had a serious expression, and followed Dou Shangyi to stand under the steps, waiting quietly for Chonghua to come back.

The last ray of sunlight was hidden among the many palaces, and the sound of whips sounded in the distance. Dou Shangyi and Zhong Weiwei both straightened their clothes and bowed in a solemn and orderly manner.

A pair of boots embroidered with cloud and dragon patterns paused in front of Zhong Weiwei, and then walked forward again.

Chonghua's indifferent voice sounded: "Dou Shangyi, what's the matter?"

Dou Shangyi hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, tomorrow is the time for the nobleman to enter the palace. I wonder if Your Majesty has read the ranking list sent by the servant earlier?"

"Come in and talk." The sound of armor rubbing was accompanied by Chonghua's footsteps.

Zhong Weiwei took a sneak peek and saw that he was in full military uniform. Then he shrugged his nose and smelled the familiar smell of iron and blood. He knew that he must gallop before the three armies today and show his force.

Dou Shangyi got up and followed Chonghua into the hall to answer, Zhong Weiwei also stood up consciously, stood under the steps with her head down, and did not follow in.

In a trance, I felt as if Chonghua glanced back at her, but he didn't dare to raise his head to verify, but tried his best to appear honest and duty-like, standing straight.

Dou Shangyi was gone and never returned, Zhong Weiwei waited anxiously, quietly raised his head to look up, and saw that the door of the palace was wide open, Chonghua was sitting behind the desk writing hard, and Dou Shangyi had long since disappeared.

He couldn't help cursing Dou Shangyi for being dishonest, then retreated quietly, retreating into the shadows little by little, turned around to leave, but was stopped by Li Anren: "Your Majesty calls you."

Zhong Weiwei bit the bullet and went up the steps: "See Your Majesty."

Chonghua said indifferently: "I heard that Zhong Tongshi has been doing well recently."

Zhong Weiwei laughed dryly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing."

Chonghua half lowered his eyes, indifferent and expressionless: "calling friends, drinking tea and playing chess, bluffing and cheating, colluding everywhere, are you trying to plot something wrong?"

This crime is a bit serious, especially for a person like Chong Hua, who is unhappy himself, and no one else can feel better about it. Seeing that she is doing well, he doesn't feel uncomfortable, and when he feels uncomfortable, he will find fault with her.

Zhong Weiwei immediately turned bitter, and lamented: "The criminal is just hungry and wants to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup. Your Majesty has a lot of people, and he can hold a boat in his stomach. He will definitely not care about the criminal, right?"

Chonghua gave her a cold look: "Is the money ready?"

Finally, I no longer have to eat steamed buns and drink porridge!

Seeing that he was willing to let it go, Zhong Weiwei smiled happily and said, "It's all ready, please accept it, Your Majesty."

He presented 3000 taels of silver bills with both hands, and flattered him by the way: "Your Majesty is wise, powerful, and suave, and you are welcome. All the beauties in the palace admire Your Majesty, and they even want to dream of you in their dreams."

"What about you?" Chonghua put down his pen and stared at Zhong Weiwei.

She had already changed into the attire of a sixth-rank female official. The light blue dress was embroidered with beautiful hibiscus flowers, and the palm-wide belt tightly cinched her slender waist. Hateful, the joy is fake, and the flattery is also somewhat exaggerated.

Zhong Weiwei almost bit his tongue, and then said righteously: "I am Tong Shi appointed by His Majesty, how can I be like them? The most important thing when working in the palace is not to have selfishness, otherwise it will inevitably be biased and disappoint Your Majesty." trust."

"Indeed, you are different from them. In your eyes and heart, you will always only have interests and Zhong Mao. Other people and things are not worth paying attention to. It was originally me, but I misunderstood you."

Chonghua withdrew his gaze, and said coldly: "I have thought about it these days, and the past is over. There is no reason for you to let go, but I still can't let go. Since the first emperor asked you to assist me, then you take out All the energy and thought, do a good job and do a good job."

"Yes, sir, I will not disappoint Your Majesty."

Zhong Weiwei lowered her eyes and presented the pamphlets she had carefully crafted these days: "This records the dispositions, hobbies, shortcomings of the nobles who are about to enter the palace, as well as some related rumors. I believe it will help His Majesty better understand , master them."

"You really do your duty and think about me."

Chonghua raised the corners of his lips ironically, and did not pick up the brochure: "This is the news you got from inviting people to drink tea and wandering around these days?"

"Your Majesty does not need to praise your ministers, this is your duty."

Zhong Weiwei got up, put the brochure on his desk with a smile, and then went back: "If your Majesty has no other orders, I will leave."
