royal princess

Chapter 66
There was a lot of noise next door, and Si Jin was also silent.In fact, in her opinion, this matter is an excellent opportunity, but it takes a lot of time to do it. She is a girl, and she is not good at giving advice on government affairs. She pretended to be stupid about the last time It's over, if you dare to talk nonsense this time, it won't be easy to finish.

But with such a great opportunity, how could he watch him slip away quietly?
If only her natal family was in the capital, it would be great. The original owner has an older brother who is both talented and knowledgeable.If she makes up the strategy and her brother implements it, within three to five years, their team will definitely be able to improve to a higher level.

Unfortunately, the sky is not with me.

These aristocrats and aristocrats, noble families, all of them have eyes above the top, are proud of their power, and have no one in their eyes.Xiao Qi's accession to the throne is not long enough, and his foundation is a bit weak, so relying on the fact that the emperor has no one to use, these talents are so rebellious.However, as an aspiring emperor, Si Jin knew that Xiao Qi would never be controlled by others like this.

The noise of the quarrel next door gradually subsided, Si Jin sat upright, and the needle and thread in her hand danced slowly again.Sure enough, not long after, I heard familiar footsteps coming this way, and the sound of people saluting came from outside the door.Si Jin also put down the needle and thread in her hand, got up and greeted her.

Si Jin greeted Xiao Qi in the middle of the way, and walked in with big strides. His steps were a little faster, which showed that he was in a bad mood.Si Jin tensed up and didn't dare to slacken the slightest slack. She squatted down and was lifted up by Xiao Qi, "You don't have to be polite." Holding Si Jin's hand, she walked all the way in, "How long have you been here?"

"The concubine has just arrived not long ago." Si Jin replied softly, poured tea for Xiao Qi and handed it to him, she must be thirsty after spending so much talking there.

Sure enough, Xiao Qi drained a cup of tea in no time, and Si Jin hurriedly poured another cup, and then heard Xiao Qi say: "These ministers of mine, not to mention fame and reputation, are full of benevolence and morality, and each of them behaves like a villain. .”

These words are a bit serious, and it can be seen that he is very angry.

Si Jin didn't dare to intervene anymore, and sat down opposite, anyway, Xiao Qi would be fine after scolding himself.In fact, he doesn't need her to talk, all he needs is someone to listen to him and not speak out.

Xiao Qi had had enough of scolding, and now he felt at ease. He watched Si Jin pinch a piece of cloth, which was crookedly embroidered with something crooked.He hooked his head and looked, teasingly said: "If you practice like this, you will be able to embroider a purse in the year of the monkey."

Si Jin said sternly, "As long as you have perseverance, you can grind an iron pestle into a needle. If you practice every day, you will always be able to master it."

Xiao Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then sighed, "Even a little girl like you knows that you have perseverance and perseverance. As the king of a country, don't I even have this bit of patience?"

Si Jin: ...

What does this have to do with her?
But listening to what he said seemed very reasonable, knowing that he didn't understand at this time, he had to say something nice, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is a great gentleman, he cares about the people, and he is the king of the world. A little setback is nothing. The concubine believes that the emperor will be able to come up with a good solution."

Xiao Qi stared at Si Jin, and saw her serious face, as if she really believed that he was omnipotent.No one has ever had such confidence in him. Since he ascended the throne, he has been deeply shackled by the aristocratic family, and he has never been able to do what he can do as he pleases.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help revealing something from my heart, "Everyone thinks that I am rich in the world, but they don't know that... I am actually controlled by others. How much of the world's land is in my hands? Disaster relief, border defense, comforting refugees, resettlement of victims, I It’s a joke to have the world in vain, but you can’t even get the money.”

The annexation of the land was fierce, and a large part of it was in the hands of the aristocratic families, and the remaining taxes collected every year were really not enough to spend.The emperor was stretched, and his life was really aggrieved.Can the emperor without money straighten his waist?
No!

Empresses and concubines are arrogant in the harem, so it is because of the powerful family. The emperor clearly dislikes them, but they still have to deal with them, which is really pitiful.

But even so, Si Jin didn't dare to speak up easily, because she had no reliance.

Facing the emperor who suddenly spoke his mind, Si Jin expressed that he was under a lot of pressure. A person with Xiao Qi's temperament would not easily speak his mind.I'm afraid he complained to her because he was suffocated in court these days.

But she really didn't want to hear it.

Xiao Qi's mind is full of the affairs of Juhu Prefecture and the county. The incident of Qianding caused great anger and resentment. The people in the world will not scold the officials of Qianding, they will only call him a stupid emperor. How did the common people know that making such a decision was not his intention alone.

Xiao Qi turned around with a sullen face and walked to the desk to review the papers. Si Jin remembered that she was here to serve ink, so she followed quietly, picked up the ink stick, poured some water into the inkstone and rubbed it lightly.The room became quiet, Si Jin didn't dare to speak easily, Xiao Qi was full of thoughts and didn't intend to speak.Only the thick fragrance of ink gradually spread in the air.

I don't know how long it took, Si Jin felt that her arms were too tired to lift up, but Xiao Qi's handbooks piled up more and more.Guan Changan went back and forth several times to change the booklets, and saw that Xiao Qi's face was getting darker and darker, and it was even comparable to the ink in the inkstone.

Looking at the look on his face when he critiqued the notebooks, one can tell that the things written in the notebooks must be items that he doesn't like.Si Jin is like falling into hell here, Hongxiu Tianxiang is such an elegant and beautiful thing, why is it so hard to bear when she comes here?
Just when Si Jin was distracted quietly, when the curtain by the door moved, Guan Changan's eyes drifted over, and he saw He Shiyi's figure flickering.He looked back and saw that the emperor was still approving the memorial, and walked out quietly on tiptoe.

As soon as He Shiyi saw Guan Changan coming out, he rushed to meet him, "Master, Mr. Li has been waiting for two hours, what do you think?"

Guan Changan frowned, his face was very ugly, he looked at He Shiyi and asked, "What did Master Li say?"

He Shiyi shook his head, "Nothing, it's just that I've been waiting for a long time, so let the little eunuch come and ask when the emperor will summon him."

Guan Chang'an snorted, but he didn't dare to make a claim, so he looked at He Shiyi and said, "Go and tell Mr. Li, just say that the emperor is busy, and ask Mr. Li to wait a little longer. Just go in and report."

"Yes." He Shiyi hurriedly responded, looked at his master and added, "Master, this Master Li..."

Guan Chang'an looked at He Shiyi, "It doesn't matter who he is, you and I are only loyal to the emperor." So what if Mr. Li is Li Zhaoyi's father, he doesn't care about Li Zhaoyi's face.

He Shiyi didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he turned around and sent a message.

Guan Changan scolded Li Tongguang in his heart, but he didn't dare to make unreasonable opinions after all, so he took a deep breath and stepped in.

Seeing Guan Changan coming in again, Si Jin didn't look at the table, but turned her head to one side, and heard Guan Changan whisper, "Your Majesty, Master Li is still waiting."

"Let him wait." Xiao Qi didn't lift his head, "A flatterer is loyal but flattering. I don't care!"

"Yes." Guan Changan didn't dare to speak any more, and stood aside like a wooden stake, feeling equally apprehensive in his heart.The emperor's thoughts are becoming more and more unpredictable. As he ascends the throne for a long time, his majesty grows stronger, but the adults in the court still regard the emperor as when he first ascended the throne, which is really asking for trouble.

But Si Jin was thinking about Xiao Qi's words just now, that a flatterer is flattering but loyal.This is not a good word, it means that those who speak treacherous words will appear loyal because of flattery, and those who speak flattering words will appear wise because they flatter each other.If he met a foolish emperor, he would definitely make the Emperor happy, but Xiao Qi is a rare Qingming emperor. It can be seen that Master Li has flattered the horse's hoof, which makes him feel very disgusted.

Light the wax for Mr. Li!

Although Xiao Qi said this, he was obviously in a bad mood, and stopped writing with the pen in his hand for a while.A pair of tiger eyes fell on the booklet, gradually narrowed, full of murderous intent, but soon this gloom disappeared without a trace.Si Jin looked at it from the sidelines and was terrified, her hands that rubbed ink trembled a little.

The truth is not that she is timid, but that she has seen this side of the emperor here, will she be silenced?
"Take a break too."

Si Jin was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Xiao Qi was talking to her.His arms were a little numb, and he quickly put down the ink stick in his hand, and said: "The concubine is not tired." Even grinding ink for the emperor is too tiring, is it too easy?

Xiao Qi glanced at Si Jin when he heard the words, and Si Jin's heart was beating like a drum when he saw such a look in his eyes, she almost knelt down to herself, she knew that Xiao Qi saw that she had lied.After a silence, Si Jin quickly raised a smile, and then added, "Even tired ministers and concubines are willing."

Xiao Qi sneered, as if thinking of something, said: "Even you dare not tell the truth in front of me, let alone others."

Si Jin was startled, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "The concubine dare not lie to the emperor, please forgive me. The concubine is telling the truth. Serving the concubine Mo for the emperor really doesn't feel tired, although his arms are slightly sore , but the heart rejoices."

Xiao Qi got up and watched Si Jin bend over to pull her up, "Get up, I... don't mean to blame you."

Si Jin breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat covered her back.

"Guan Chang'an."

"The slave is here."

"Go and tell Li Tongguang, I will not grant what he asks, if he wants to kneel, then continue to kneel, let him!"

"Yes." Guan Chang'an responded and quickly retreated.

Si Jin didn't dare to show her anger, she watched Xiao Qi walk to the big couch on the other side, she quickly raised her heels to follow, after thinking for a while, she turned a corner and went to the tea room to make a cup of tea first.The fragrance of tea spilled out of the cup and wafted in the air. Si Jin took advantage of the time to make tea to calm down. She didn't know what this Li Tongguang asked for. I made a note of Li Tongguang who had never met before.
