royal princess

Chapter 77 Please, let it go! 4
Si Jin didn't know that the Chu family came to the Su family, ever since Xiao Qi came over for dinner at night, he kept praising Su's father in his mouth, and heaved a long sigh of relief.In my memory, the father and son of the Su family are all strong-minded people, otherwise they would not have been fighting against Quzhou Su.However, matters in the court are different from family grievances, and now I have confidence in my heart after listening to them.Especially when Xiao Qi said that Su's father had several suggestions that were the same as his own, he was really surprised.

She was able to tell these regulations, of course, because of the history of the development of the trajectory.She just summed up the wisdom of the ancients, but Father Su actually came up with it himself.Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little happy, at least the father and son of the Su family are people who can be supported, so they have a future to speak of.

"I intend to make Brother Nai join the Six Departments."

Si Jin's hands slipped, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Xiao Qi: ...

Si Jin: ...

Your majesty, don't bring such a scary thing, isn't this throwing Su Shengyang into the den of tigers and wolves?
Please let go!
The room suddenly fell into silence, and Si Jin hurriedly got up to apologize, feeling overwhelmed.This ancient rule is really irritating, and she will be punished at every turn. She is really not used to it, but she dare not disobey it.

Guan Chang'an and the others hung their heads and did not dare to vent their anger. Yun Chang's face turned pale, her knees softened, and she almost knelt down.

Si Jin had already knelt down with Xiao Qi's brilliant kung fu, and his outstretched hand was empty.

Si Jin knelt down more times in her life than in her previous life combined, with her knees on the ground, feeling extremely desolate in her heart, what a miserable life.

"Get up."

Si Jin felt her arm being supported by a strong hand. She raised her head and looked up at the man in front of her. Looking at him from this angle, she saw his skin was as white as jade, his eyebrows were dyed with ink, and his face was slightly embarrassed. The blade-like coldness was gone.

Si Jin only felt her heart beat a little faster, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at him, followed his hand to get up, and quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin's head which had just been hurriedly lowered, and there was a bit of panic in his expression. After all, he frightened her. He sighed in his heart and stared at her, "From now on, when you and I get along, you don't have to apologize at every turn."

"Yes." Si Jin didn't dare to resist the order, he said what he said, but if something happened, he should apologize or apologize.She doesn't have much affection with him. Now she looks at you and me, but she doesn't have a foundation of affection and can't stand any torture.He can say it generously, but if he hates himself in the future, it will be a sin to find out these things.

She had to leave a way out for herself. There are too many historical records of the emperor's attribute of turning his face and ignoring people.The two of them have no childhood love, no feelings of adversity, and no promise of marriage, so what right does she have to squander this poor little affection?
After this incident, Si Jin became somewhat restrained.Seeing Si Jin like this, Xiao Qi felt a little uncomfortable. Speaking of which, he didn't get along with her for a long time.Faced with such embarrassment, Si Jin didn't take the initiative to speak up to break the silence as in the past, and he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

After the meal was finished silently, Guan Chang'an, sweating all over his face, led others to clear the table.Yun Chang kept going to the tea room to make tea, Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin in the room, and said after a while, "You don't seem to like your brother entering the sixth department?"

Si Jin was restrained, but she didn't know how to answer when she heard this.He looked up at Xiao Qi, telling the truth or lying?To be honest, it hurts too much, I don't know if what happened just now will anger him.To tell the truth, what if he really stuffed Su Shengyang into the sixth part?
Xiao Qi's eyes are the sharpest, looking at Si Jin's vacillating expression, he knows what she is hesitating in her heart.Sitting there, just looking at her like that, he wondered what choice she made.Will she be like others, just want to coax herself, but refuse to be true to herself?

What if she lied to herself?
Si Jin didn't dare to hesitate for too long, her mind was buzzing, and she didn't have time to think carefully, her whole body followed her senses, and she blurted out: "I really don't want my brother to enter the sixth department." The tight thread seemed to be loosened, and instead of looking at Xiao Qi, he lowered his head and said: "My concubine's elder brother has little qualifications and no foundation, just like this concubine in this palace, he bends over to anyone he sees." I will kowtow to everyone I see." At this point, Si Jin knew that her words were too bold, so she simply knelt down again, straightened her back and still did not look at Xiao Qi, "This concubine's words are bold and reckless, and I know I have offended the palace. Regulations. But the emperor did not dare to hide when he inquired about his concubine. Even though he knew it was just a concubine’s foolish opinion, he still couldn’t complain. The concubine in the inner palace has no resentment or dissatisfaction. Since entering the palace this year, it is not enough for the concubine who has been promoted The concubine has no achievements in giving birth to an imperial heir, and the other has no qualifications and credits. I am always anxious in my heart. If I judge others by myself, my elder brother must be like a concubine when he suddenly enters the sixth department. I don’t know how to speak properly, but I know my father and brother Concerning the emperor's loyalty to the imperial court, the concubine's father and brother will inevitably become the attention of the court. Under the prosperity, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. I hope that my father and brother will be loyal to the emperor, but... but I also hope that the family will be smooth and safe. The concubine's words are inappropriate, Please punish the emperor."

He hoped that she would tell the truth, but the truth was too sincere, and the emperor's face could not be held for a while.

This Su Sijin said she was smart, she was really smart, and she was not wronged if she was stupid.Fortunately, he is the one sitting here now, if it were another emperor, he might drag her out and punish her.

Although the words were inappropriate, but the words were sincere, Xiao Qi pulled her up, "Didn't you say that you should not plead guilty casually?"

"My concubine's words are really bold, I dare not sit still." Si Jin knew that she had passed the test, but she still dared not let go of this tone in her heart, as Su Shengyang hadn't settled down yet.

"You still know that your words are inappropriate, so how dare you say it?" Xiao Qi turned around and started making fun of Si Jin, never seen someone so dumb.

"I don't dare, but I think even if the emperor wants to punish my concubine, I don't want to lie to you."

Knowing that he didn't do well, knowing that coaxing him can pass the test, but he can still be honest with each other.Xiao Qi patted Si Jin's hand lightly, and sighed, "There are many people in this palace who are willing to coax me, so don't join in the fun."

"Well, you don't blame me anymore?" Si Jin raised her head halfway, her eyes twinkling at Xiao Qi.

"Not as an example." Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin with crooked eyebrows and smiled slightly, "I... always hope to have someone who tells the truth by my side. You are very good, so you don't need to change."

"The concubine will not change, but will be more restrained in the future."

Xiao Qi: ...

"Can you tell me about the unfinished regulations at the back of that letter?"

Si Jin rolled her eyes, stared at Xiao Qi, and said anxiously: "It's not that I don't write, but I dare not write. I'm a little girl, and it's inevitable that sometimes I'm whimsical, and the strategies I come up with may be... too bold, So I dare not write."

Xiao Qi was really interested at this moment, "Say, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Your Majesty's golden words, you can't go back on your word."

"nature."

"The concubine said it. In fact, the concubine's thinking is very simple. If the Ministry of Households does not pay, he will not be allowed to pay. Forcing people to move away from their hometown is unavoidably against the harmony of nature and against people's wishes. So the most important thing about this matter is not to arouse public resentment, otherwise it will become a big deal if the important officials in the court know about it."

This is quite right, the most rare place for Xiao Qi is here.He looked at Si Jin with embarrassing eyes, "Then my concubine has a good idea?"

"It's not a good idea, and my concubine is in a difficult situation now. As the saying goes, a single tree cannot grow into a forest. No matter how capable my father and brother are, they still need people to help them. Without money and no one, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even a god." Si Jin lowered her voice, "So I think it would be great if the emperor can open Enke to recruit scholars, disciples of the emperor, and brighten the world."

"Without a reason, the courtiers will not agree to open Enke." Xiao Qi originally had this plan, but the court's discussion failed, and he was very annoyed and had no choice.The country is overjoyed, and Enke was opened just now, but there is no decent reason to do so now.

Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi, and said word by word: "If the imperial concubine successfully gives birth to a prince, the whole world will celebrate together, and it will be a happy event for the country."

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin calmly.

Si Jin's heart beat like a drum, but she refused to move her eyes away.Whether he can win Xiao Qi's trust in her is all in one fell swoop. He knows that he and the imperial concubine are at odds, and according to common sense, he is the person who does not want the imperial concubine to gain power.But she made such a suggestion. Firstly, this is indeed a feasible strategy. Secondly, she actually has her own selfishness. She hopes that after this matter, she can gain Xiao Qi's trust in the shortest possible time and be able to be in the harem. Really stand firm.

You don't have to worry about becoming a duckweed that will go away when the wind blows, and you won't become a weak person who can be overturned to the ground by others.

"You really think so?"

"The concubine and the imperial concubine are not on good terms, and the emperor knows the reason. But the concubine can have today, thanks to the emperor's kindness, so the concubine hopes that everything will go smoothly and the emperor will get what he wants. What's more, the child in the womb is innocent, and it is the emperor's blood. I really hope that this child can be born smoothly."

Xiao Qi held Si Jin's hand, looked into her sincere eyes, and knew that what she said was true, "You... are fine."

"The concubine also has selfish intentions. I offer this policy because I hope that my brothers will not join the Six Departments." Si Jin smiled sheepishly.

Xiao Qi held Si Jin's hand tightly, and felt a surge in her heart. Although she offered advice mostly for her own benefit, she also had a heart to share her own worries.Patting her hand lightly, he said, "I still need to think about this matter."

What Si Jin said is not impossible, but the imperial concubine is still several months away from giving birth, and a good plan is needed for the period in between.Xiao Qi held Si Jin's hand and slowly leaned against the soft pillow behind him, closing his eyes and thinking, Si Jin didn't dare to break free, and followed him on the couch, a little awkward and uncomfortable, gently Crawling to a comfortable position, I got up a little early today, and I was terrified for half a day, so I couldn't help feeling mentally tired.At this time, the room is quiet and silent, and the plum fragrance on the window sill permeates his nose, making him a little drowsy.
