Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 148

I was heavy and couldn't sit for too long, so after about half an hour later, I told Mingqi that I had to go back first.

Mingqi said before that if I am tired, he can let me go back and rest first.So now when I said that I wanted to go back, I agreed directly, and even said that I wanted to go back with me, but I stopped me.

"Your Majesty, let's stay and chat more with the Xinke Scholars. I have Qihe and them to accompany me. It's fine." I stopped Mingqi and said after Mingqi opened his mouth.

I know that Mingqi said he wanted to go back with me because he was worried about me, but the same, I also know the importance of tonight's dinner to Mingqi, so naturally I would not agree to let Mingqi go back with me.

"So, dear concubine, be careful on the way back, I will go to Yanfu Palace to find you later." Ming Qi pondered for a moment after my words, and then said to me.

"Okay." I nodded.

But Mingqi still looked uneasy after seeing me nodding, I saw that he told Qihe Fanghe and the others for a long time, telling them to take good care of me. Ken let me go back first.

After Mingqi agreed, I got up and left with Qihe and the others, but it was the same as when I came, when I led five or six people through the lively crowd and left, many eyes still fell on me.

Especially Chu Lin's side.

I don't know if Chu Lin heard that I was leaving, he kept looking at me after I got up, and he didn't even pay attention to someone talking to him, just kept watching me leave like that.

But I was actually very tired at this time, so when I left, I didn't pay attention to other people's gazes, including Chu Lin's.

After I was supported by Qihe and Ayun, I was supported all the way out of Shangmeiyuan by them.

"Master, are you going back to the palace to rest? Or are you waiting for the emperor on the soft couch?" After returning to Yanfu Palace, Ah Chun brought a basin of hot water to soak my feet to relieve my fatigue, while Qi He stood behind me Help me press the double points on the forehead and ask me.

After the hot water spread over the ankles, the fatigue in the body immediately disappeared a lot.

I closed my eyes and let Qihe press the acupuncture points for me. After listening to what she said, I thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Just wait on the soft couch."

"promise."

Ming Qi didn't make me wait long, and he came back after I lay down on the soft couch for about an hour.

And because I have been waiting for Mingqi, although I took a nap, I did not fall asleep after all.So when Mingqi approached the soft couch where I lay, I opened my eyes.

"I'm back." I talked to Mingqi after seeing Mingqi.

"En." Mingqi nodded after my words, and then sat behind me, lifted me up from the soft couch and sat in his arms.

"Why didn't you go to the bedroom to rest?" Mingqi asked me.

"I'm waiting for you." I replied, moving my body closer to Mingqi's arms.

"Next time if you're tired, go to bed first, don't wait for me." Ming Qi said, and circled me tighter.

"Well, it's okay." I replied after Mingqi's talk.

"By the way, what are you going to do with this new Jinshi?" After answering, I asked Mingqi again.

According to the previous scientific examination process, the first and third candidates can be appointed shortly after the rankings are published, and most of the champions are edited by the Imperial Academy.

And the second-class and third-class ones have to go through the imperial examination again in the Palace of Preservation, and after comprehensive examination results before and after, the best ones will be selected to enter the Imperial Academy as Shujishi.

The rest will be distributed to various ministries as directors or go to other places to serve. After three to five years, officials with good political performance will be nominated to return to Beijing to take important positions.

It's just that this is just a general process. Mingqi urgently needs to use young officials, so I guess he won't give too much time to the growth of Xinke Jinshi and others. Most of them will be granted official positions immediately like the top three.

"The champion enters the Hanlin Academy, and the second place is a talent in mathematics and science. They can go to Dali Temple, and Tanhua can go to the household department. Others don't need to pass the Hanlin point examination. I plan to send all of them to other places for a year or so. At that time, they will be selected for promotion." Mingqi answered after my words, and didn't want to hide my intention.

"However, these are only preliminary plans. The specific location and position of the personnel will be decided after a few days of careful consideration." Ming Qi added.

"You have to think about it carefully. After all, you are the person you want to use. It's better to be cautious in the choice of place and position." I said with an ordinary expression after Mingqi's words, but I was surprised in my heart: Mingqi Qi Qi didn't intend to reuse Chu Lin.

As I said just now, Mingqi will not follow the usual practice in this year's arrangement for the new Jinshi, and will act in a special way.

Therefore, if Mingqi intends to reuse Chu Lin, then Chu Lin will be released for official experience, or like the second place and Tanhua, he will be sent to important departments to study.

Instead of sending Chu Lin to the Hanlin Academy for editing as usual.

After I answered Mingqi’s words, I turned my head and glanced at Mingqi, thinking in my heart: I don’t know if Mingqi doesn’t reuse Chu Lin because there are still many officials from Chu Bufan’s faction, and Mingqi is worried about those officials. Will he help Chu Lin become an official who is out of his control?Or, is it because I once had a marriage contract with Chu Bufan?
"Why do you look at me like that?" Mingqi raised his eyebrows when I looked up at him, and asked me.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to watch it all of a sudden." I was worried that Mingqi would see what I was thinking, so after Mingqi's question, I shook my head and said with a smile.

"Hehe, is it? Then take a few more glances." Mingqi smiled and said after my words, and I don't know if he believed what I said.

"It's getting late, let's go in and rest." After laughing too much, Mingqi said to me again.

"it is good."

On the second day, Mingqi got up early in the morning and left Yanfu Palace because he was going to court early.And because of the lethargy during pregnancy, I slept until the sun was high before getting up.

"Ayun, here is a list. You send someone to send it to brother. You don't need to say anything else. After reading it, brother will understand what I mean."

It's just that after I had breakfast, although I went into the side room on the left side of the main room as usual, I didn't go to rest as usual. Instead, I drew up a list and handed it to Ah Yun.

"No." Ayun didn't say anything after receiving my list, and left Yanfu Palace after answering.

The next two days were normal, I would either rest or read a book or walk around for a heavy day, and Mingqi was busy, so except for going back to Yanfu Palace to sleep at night, I seldom went to Yanfu at other times The palace is coming.

I know Mingqi is busy, so naturally I won't disturb her.

"Report to Concubine Shu, Qi Zhaoyi is here."

On the morning of the third day, when I was lying on a soft couch in the yard, reading a book and basking in the sun, An Fulai suddenly walked in and reported to me.

The sunshine in the autumn is as warm as the spring day. I was lying on the soft couch and drowsy, but after listening to An Fulai's words, I immediately lost the slightest sleepiness.

"Qi Zhaoyi? You mean Qi Xiayun?" I was surprised by An Fulai, thinking that An Fulai had given the wrong name.

Because in my impression, Qi Xiayun has always been a low-key person since I beat her up before. She never took the initiative to chat with concubines, so naturally she didn't have much contact with me.

In this way, even if she suddenly showed inexplicable kindness to me on the night Mingqi hosted the Xinke Scholars, I would not think that she would take the initiative to come to me after the dinner.

"Hui Niangniang said it was Qi Zhaoyi." But An Fulai nodded at my words, proving that I heard correctly, the person who came was really Qi Xiayun.

"Do you know what she came to see me for?" I asked out of habit in Anfulai.

"I don't know what to say to your mother." An Fulai answered with his head bowed after my words.

"I know." I nodded when I heard the words, then pondered for a while, and then said: "You, tell her to come in."

"promise."

An Fulai quickly led Qi Xiayun in, and today's Qi Xiayun was wearing a light-colored long dress of water green and ankles, with a shawl of the same color on her upper body, which made her appear to be both quiet and graceful.

Qi Xiayun walked towards me step by step under the guidance of An Fulai, and when he came in front of me, he bowed to me again: "The concubine has seen Concubine Shu."

"Be flat." I nodded to Qi Xiayun after saluting her, and then ordered An Fulai who hadn't left yet to bring a chair over and let Qi Xiayun sit down.

"Why is Qi Zhaoyi free to come to my Yanfu Palace today?" After Qi Xiayun sat down, I asked Qi Xiayun to ask Dongchun to serve tea.

"It's a rare and beautiful day in autumn today, so my younger sister wanted to go out and walk around. I didn't want to walk, so I came to Sister Concubine Shu's place, so I thought of coming to Sister Concubine Shu to sit here." Qi Xiayun said in my words Answer later.

"The concubine came here uninvited. I wonder if she is offending Concubine Shu?" After answering, Qi Xiayun asked me again.

"How could it be? I'm idling in this Yanfu Palace every day, and there are not many people who can talk to me. Qi Zhaoyi, are you willing to come and talk to me and relieve my boredom? I don't have time for joy. How can I despise Qi Zhaoyi?" After Qi Xiayun's words, he immediately smiled and said, as to how much sincerity and how much lies in what he said, it's up to everyone to know.

"Huh? Didn't you say that Zhang Liangyuan would often come to Yanfu Palace to chat with Sister Concubine Shu? How could Sister Concubine Shu say that there is no one to chat with you?" Qi Xiayun asked immediately after my words, with a surprised look on her face.

And I smiled again after seeing the surprised expression on Qi Xiayun's face, and then said: "That's still a summer thing. At that time, Zhang Liangyuan saw that my palace had more ice cubes, which was cooler than Chuxiu Palace, so Come more."

"However, after the cooler weather, she came a little less, and I don't know what she's been busy with at the Chuxiu Palace recently." After I finished speaking, I said again, and at the same time, my face showed some curiosity about Zhang Shuyue's whereabouts.

"So that's the case." Qi Xiayun nodded after my words and said, the surprised look on his face was replaced by a sudden realization.

"From this point of view, Zhang Liangyuan is still blessed to be protected by Concubine Shu." Qi Xiayun said again.

"It's a pity that my sister is unlucky. Otherwise, if I had known that Sister Concubine Shu is cool in your palace, my sister would also come to Sister Concubine Shu to cool off." Qi Xiayun said again, with envy and joy on his face, but only Alone without envy and malice.

But when I heard that, I smiled again, but I didn't reply her. After all, with Qi Xiayun's identity, it's not my turn to protect her.

"By the way, Concubine Concubine Shu just said that she didn't know what Zhang Liangyuan was doing in Chuxiu Palace. In fact, she didn't hide the truth from Concubine Shu. When I was wandering around, I seemed to have met Zhang Liangyuan." But Qi Xiayun didn't seem to mind me at all. No answer, she said again after I smiled.

"Oh? Where did we meet?" I followed Qi Xiayun's words and followed Qi Xiayun's words.

"It's at the Huxin Pavilion." Qi Xiayun replied.

"When the concubine passed by there, she seemed to see Zhang Liangyuan chatting and taking a walk with Qiu Jieyu there, but because the distance was a bit far away, I don't know if I saw it wrong." Qi Xiayun replied again.

"It should be correct. Zhang Liangyuan seems to be more courageous than before recently, so it is normal to go to the Huxin Pavilion and meet Qiu Jieyu there." I said.

"That's right, Zhang Liangyuan has a kind personality, so it's not surprising that she can chat with Qiu Jieyu." Qi Xiayun also nodded after my words.

"Isn't it?" I said with a smile when I heard the words.

Afterwards, Qi Xiayun sat with me for a long time, and chatted with me for a long time, until it was almost noon, when she got up to say goodbye to me and left, I didn't even agree to let her stay for lunch.

"Ayun, tell me, what is the purpose of Qi Zhaoyi's words today?" After Qi Xiayun left, I watched her walk out of the gate of Yanfu Palace, and then turned to talk to Ah, who was standing behind me. Yun asked.

"Your Majesty, do you think she is trying to provoke the relationship between you, Qiu Jieyu and Zhang Liangyuan? Or do you think she is telling Your Majesty that Zhang Liangyuan and Qiu Jieyu have gotten too close recently, reminding us to be wary of Zhang Liangyuan?" A Yun Instead of answering my question, he asked me back.

"Perhaps, all of them." I said.

I don't believe that Qi Xiayun came to me on purpose today just to remind me to beware of Zhang Shuyue, after all she is not familiar with me.Even to a certain extent, we are still in a hostile position. I don't believe that she will be kind to me for no reason.

It's just that if she said that she was purely trying to provoke me, Chang Ruo and Zhang Shuyue, it wouldn't be true, because when she spoke to me, there was no malice in her eyes.

"Let's go, whether it's good or bad, there will always be a clear result." I said again.He thought that no matter whether Qi Xiayun was provoking or well intentioned, it would not be the first time today.My intuition tells me that Qi Xiayun will definitely come to me often in the future.

"That's right, it takes a long time to see people's hearts." A Yun also nodded after my words and said.
