Chapter 1428
The emperor laughed and scolded: "The Great Zhou began with me, and the rules are all set by me. When did I say that women are not allowed to enter the imperial study?"

Huya said solemnly: "The old rules of the previous dynasty, take the essence and discard the dross."

"You decide?"

"I dare not." Huya said in panic.

"Why did you have nothing to say when Ah Wu came in?" the emperor teased him.

"Big girl is different." Huya said solemnly, "Your Majesty, no matter why, don't let other women in. I dare not talk about other things, but I really suffer from the narrow-mindedness of women!"

The emperor couldn't stop laughing, he waved his hands and said, "Go if you are told."

"Are you really not afraid that the eldest girl will be angry?" Huya hesitated and refused to go.

"I wish she was angry."

Speaking of this, Huya shed tears of bitterness for the emperor, but still said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, this temptation is not a good one."

"It's not her that I want to test."

Huya couldn't understand it, so he could only execute it.

He took people to Shang Niyi's residence - all the women also settled in the two adjacent palaces and lived together.

Seeing Huya, a popular person next to the emperor, coming, everyone saluted.

Huya thought to himself, there is only a short distance between him and Chief Ouchi.

But this is the emperor's woman, he didn't dare to get close, and said from a distance: "Busy yourself. The emperor called Shang Niyi to serve the pen and ink in the imperial study."

Except for Chu Shiliu, the other women showed more or less envious and jealous expressions on their faces.

Unfortunately, the Lord did not come out.

A maid hurriedly knocked on the only closed door: "Miss Shang, Miss Shang, the emperor has summoned you."

After a long while, the door was opened. Shang Niyi was wearing a half-worn lake blue palace dress, with only two white jade hairpins loosely inserted on her head, calmly bowing to Huya.

Not to mention others, even Huya felt that she was dressed too plainly, and said: "You can't keep the emperor waiting, you go and get dressed."

"No need." Shang Niyi stepped out of the high threshold and said calmly, "I dare not keep the emperor waiting for a long time."

"Then... let's go."

Huya's heart was full of alarm bells, Shang Niyi was like this, either he had no intention of competing for favor, or he was too scheming and wanted to attract the emperor's attention.

The former couldn't be better, but the possibility is extremely low, otherwise why didn't she leave the palace earlier?

If it was the latter, he would have to palm the eye for the eldest girl, and this kind of person should not be allowed to take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, Huya's face turned a little cold.

Shang Niyi, neither humble nor overbearing, got into the soft sedan chair and left.

"We are all fools." A woman called Miss Kong sneered, "I really thought that someone was indifferent to fame and wealth, and had no intention of competing for favor. But I didn't know that she and Miss Qin had a very hot fight, and they were ahead of us for a long time."

Another girl, Yuan, said with a half-smile: "Do you really think she used her cunning to get ahead of Miss Qin? Which of us can't be obediently ranked behind? Just wait and see."

Regardless of whether the emperor really treats Awu with all his heart, or because of Lu Qi's power, Awu's position as queen is as stable as Mount Tai.

Some people overestimate their capabilities and want to shake the tree, and the end will be dismal.

Others reacted differently.

Chu Shiliu had no expression on his face, and took his maid back to the house; some of the others were silent, cleverly refraining from expressing their opinions, for fear of getting into trouble, but they didn't want to miss anything, so they refused to leave; Rise up to deal with Shang Niyi who was the first to "get favored".

The silent people are the scariest.

Shang Niyi, who looked harmless to humans and animals, was actually called to serve the pen and ink during the emperor's filial piety, which made people really jealous.

Serving the pen and ink is of course just an excuse, the real reason is to serve the emperor, they all know it well and are deeply jealous.

"You wait here." Huya said unceremoniously to Shang Niyi, "I'll go in and report to the emperor."

Shang Niyi lowered her head slightly, revealing half of her fair neck, and said softly, "Yes."

Huya thought to himself, during this journey, she didn't say a word to herself, and she didn't mean to please him at all.

This woman is stable.

If Shang Niyi showed a flattering attitude in the middle, I am afraid Huya would not be so worried.

Big girl, look who you have made friends with!I'm afraid it's much more sophisticated than yours.

Huya went in and came out quickly, and said coldly: "The emperor told you to go in. You must serve well, the emperor is not a good tempered person. If the service is not good, take care of your life. Those criminal slaves of the Jiaofang Division will not end well."

He badly hoped that Shang Niyi would be frightened, spoil the emperor's spirits, and never think of her again.

Shang Niyi only said lightly: "Thank you for reminding me."

Then she lifted her skirt and stepped up the steps.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Shang Niyi bowed and knelt on the ground with his back straight.

The emperor paused his pen, and said in a cold and authentic voice: "Stay flat. Raise your head and let me see."

Shang Niyi got up, her movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, her skirt moved slightly, like a blooming lotus.

She raised her head neither humble nor overbearing, and looked at the emperor's table with her jet-black pupils - it was disrespectful to look at the emperor.

"Sure enough, the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River support people. Just wait!"

"Yes."

Shang Niyi stood aside.

The emperor bowed his head and continued to review the memorial.

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes wrote furiously, and sometimes scolded, but no monk Niyi said a word.

Huya leaned against the pillar and yawned, but actually stared at Shang Niyi calmly.

The latter stood there quietly, with his hands folded in his sleeves, his posture was demure and calm, without any discomfort.

After a while, the emperor called someone to grind the ink, but Shang Niyi didn't move.

Huya could only go forward by himself, thinking to himself, what on earth is Shang Niyi trying to do, not even stepping forward with such a good opportunity?

Playing hard to get, you have to be within a certain range!
Not leaning forward at all, like a dead man, not to mention catching a dragon, even a rough guy like him can't catch it.

Shouldn't this Jiangnan woman be knowledgeable and interesting?

How does this feel like a piece of wood?
The emperor reviewed the memorial until midnight, and Shang Niyi stood here for three hours.

During the period, Huya felt that she had been wronged, and secretly gave her a cup of tea.

She just took a sip.

Huya thought to himself, the kidneys are so good that he doesn't even need to go to the toilet...

Now he can't guess the purpose of the emperor summoning Shang Niyi.

Is it to make her stand as a punishment?
For three hours, she just stood upright without any support, and she was a weak woman, her legs should be swollen.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, do you want to use something?" Huya asked cautiously.

"Have someone bring me a plate of vegetarian stuffed spring rolls." The emperor said lightly, "With two side dishes, nothing else is necessary."

The emperor has always been frugal and doesn't like extravagance and waste.
