I Really Like That Guy!
Vol 9 Chapter 8:
The imperial chariot stopped in front of the palace gate, and there were countless courtiers and royal relatives kneeling at the gate of the palace, all with their foreheads on the ground, to show their loyalty and awe to the emperor.
In the country of Jersey, Qin Jue heard many times that some people joked about Sichen, the heifer of Daxing, saying that a woman was an emperor.
She also said that despite the empress being brave and good at fighting outside, in fact, all the senior officials in Daxing were very opposed to her. Otherwise, why does the Empress fight all year round and rarely return to the capital?
To this day, looking at the respectful appearance of those people, all rumors are self-defeating.
Qin Jue naturally understood why they said that, because they were afraid of her, but they couldn't defeat her.
There is no other use than to prove her power, and their own incompetence.
The curtain of the imperial carriage was opened by the maid, and the Empress walked out. She changed her clothes today. She used to wear light and soft armor, but today she is wearing a black brocade robe.
The dark fabric shone in the sun, with silver thread embroidered on it with a dragon with its teeth and claws, which was full of majesty.
In the past, she looked sharper, like an unsheathed blade, but now she is like a magic weapon that hides its edge, and danger is hidden in the depths.
Qin Jue looked at her from behind, such an empress seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
But think about it, he asked for it himself, didn't he?
In order to get rid of the feeling of losing control as soon as he came to her, Qin Jue rarely got close to the Empress. He was no longer interested in expressing himself. There were countless attendants serving him next to the Empress, and all of a sudden he disappeared.
As expected, he no longer felt up and down because of her, just as he wished, he became calm before.
But why, there is a lingering loss in his heart?
When the Empress returned to the palace, it was naturally a turmoil. When she was out in battle, everything in the palace was handed over to Princess Kang Ning and the Prime Minister. The cooperation between the two was not bad, but it seemed that something went wrong recently.
Princess Kang Ning's name is Duguxia. She is three years younger than Dugu Luo. She is a girl who is soft on the outside and tough on the inside.
Because she was born in an emperor's family and had no brothers, she and Dugu Luo both received the teaching of the emperor's art since childhood. Kang Ning is not like Dugu Luo, she is not good at martial arts, but she excels in resourcefulness.
The two sisters, one tough and one soft, one literary and one martial, are a perfect match.
In the past, when Dugu Luo left the palace, she never had to worry about logistical matters. Sister Kang Ning and Prime Minister Xu Yuzhou would handle her in an orderly manner.
Not anymore, Corning is worn.
This is also one of the reasons why Arlo intends to come back. If Kang Ning is still there, she will be fine if she stays outside, but now Kang Ning is a salted fish.
This salted fish is not a real salted fish, but a social animal heroine who came from modern times and just wants to eat and die.
It's not that A Luo despised her. She had read the book and knew that the heroine didn't take the initiative to cross, but that Kang Ning wore it after her old illness relapsed and died. The heroine is a social animal in modern times. She works hard every day to support herself, and once transmigrated into a princess of a country, she just wants to live a life of old age with salted fish.
Later, she learned that the country needs her own support, and the heroine also worked hard to stand up, learn the law of governing the country, and support the sky.
But now that Dugu Luo is not dead, there is no need for the heroine to stand up. If she wants to salt the fish, she can salt the fish. After all, she uses her sister's body.
Kang Ning has been in poor health since he was a child and is born with insufficiency. The imperial doctor has long said that Kang Ning will not live to thirty.
A Luo remembers that after the heroine came, her physique gradually improved. In the plot, she lived to be in her fifties. I hope she can live longer without her hard work this time.
Everyone kneeled, but Princess Kang Ning didn't need to kneel.
She stood in front of everyone, and Arlo saw her at a glance.
She walked over, and in the girl's nervous and pretending to be calm eyes, she called out lightly, "Sister."
The moment the Empress stepped out of the imperial carriage, Kang Ning's heart rose. She is not the real Kang Ning, and she has no memory of her. It is said to the public that the serious illness will be forgotten before.
Everyone in the palace believed this, and Kang Ning had been there for more than ten days, and slowly figured out some things.
She knows that she has a sister who is a **** of war, and she is a super invincible and powerful character. Such a woman will definitely be an emperor through the ages in future generations.
Just listening to the admiration of the empress from the people around her made Corning yearn for this sister.
Immediately after hearing that the Empress was going back to the palace, Kang Ning couldn't help but get nervous in anticipation, for fear that the Empress would find out that she was not his sister.
The moment the Empress appeared, she attracted all her attention.
Not because of her looks, but because of her outstanding, unforgettable temperament.
Those dark eyes seemed to penetrate everything, cold and sharp, making people forget the commonplace.
Just looking at her, I couldn't help but feel the urge to bow down at her feet. With such a powerful, indifferent and majestic aura, if she hadn't held up, Kang Ning, who was an ordinary citizen at heart, would have almost knelt down.
Hearing that little sister, Kang Ning finally regained his senses and realized that he is now the queen's sister!
"Sister!" Corning called cautiously.
A Luo stared at her, the little girl in front of her was very thin and pale, but her eyes were bright and piercing, looking at her.
"I received a letter earlier saying that your old illness has relapsed, but are you okay now?"
"It's fine, it's fine! Sister, don't worry!" Kang Ning sighed one sister at a time, so she was convinced. Thinking that she is now twenty-six years old, she felt that she couldn't speak to a twenty-two girl. , I didn't expect to see the Empress, she could not wait to bow down directly under her long legs.
Seeing that she was in good condition and adapting well, A Luo smiled slightly: "That's good, now, I am only your sister in this world, you must take good care of yourself. The scorching sun is here, your health is not good, we will enter the palace go."
The modern Kang Ning was an orphan, and she had no worries before her death. It was the first time she heard such words, and her nose suddenly soured, and the last worry in her heart was also put aside.
The Empress just looked indifferent, she could feel her silent care.
A Luo ordered the ministers to get up, and then took Kang Ning to sit on the imperial carriage and went into the palace. She hadn't returned for a long time, and there were many government affairs to be handed over, so she directly ordered to go to the imperial study.
The imperial chariot stopped in the imperial study, leaving behind some ministers who were in charge of important matters, and all the others returned to their original positions.
The team of soldiers and horses brought before was arranged to guard around the imperial city, but the servants beside the empress had to enter the palace with them, and they were by the side.
Qin Jue stood at the door of the imperial study. He was not allowed to enter this place and could only stand outside the door as a guard.
From time to time, faint voices could be heard inside, which could not be clearly heard. He stood up straight, looking at the courtyard in front of him, only to feel the blazing sunlight that made his eyes turn white.
The attendant standing next to him glanced at him, and he was the one who first knew him, called Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing treated Qin Jue well, at least compared to others.
Zhao Xing whispered: "Yu Nu, I know you feel bad, but we are slaves. What slaves should do is to serve the master well, don't think too much."
Qin Jue turned to look at him, was silent for a moment, and replied, "I didn't think too much."
Zhao Xing looked at him, then shook his head and sighed: "I'm all here, don't I understand?"
Qin Jue turned around and ignored him.
Zhao Xing was probably bored, so he babbled: "Why did the goose you raised disappear? Did you bring it into the palace?"
Qin Jue: "No, I let it fly away."
There is no bird who doesn't want to go back to the sky. It's time to go when it's hurt.
Zhao Xing: "Yu Nu, if you want to be His Majesty's bodyguard, you must be assessed regularly. If you can't compete with others, you will be fired. If you want to serve His Majesty again, you have to go to cleanse yourself."
Qin Jue's expression remained unchanged, and he said solemnly, "I know."
He had heard about this a long time ago, and when other attendants laughed at him, they often laughed that he could only be a **** when he entered the palace.
During the march, Qin Jue never neglected to practice martial arts. Every time the army rested at night, he would hide on the side and insist on training for a long time. Therefore, he was appreciated by a general and taught him a lot of things.
Now that his martial arts have improved, as long as he persists, the assessment next month should not be too bad.
Time passed by, and when the Empress came out of the imperial study again, the sun turned westward.
She seemed to notice the servants standing by the door, and said to these people: "You don't have to wait tonight, you all go back and have a good rest."
The attendants are not guarding the Empress day and night. They are all scheduled in shifts. Today, it was Qin Jue's turn to guard for one day, but now the Empress let her rest, even if they wanted to guard, they would not allow it.
In fact, except for Qin Jue, who was sullen, everyone else was quite happy.
Qin Jue rested outside the palace. Because they were unclean people and were not allowed to live in the palace, they lived in an alley very close to the palace.
Walking out of the palace gate in the sunset, he let out a deep breath and looked up at the sky that was half-reddened by the afterglow of the sunset.
He thought that entering the thick and ancient imperial palace would feel the same suffocation as Jersey. After all, in his memory, the palace meant disputes and darkness.
But when he walked out of the palace gate, there was an unforgettable nostalgia in his heart.
Did he hate the palace, or the people in the palace? Now what makes him nostalgic... what is it?
Qin Jue rested at the residence for a day. This day was a day when he could not see the Empress at all. Unlike before on the road, even if he didn't go to the Empress, he could always look at her.
She eats meals, rides horses, hunts, or competes with soldiers, discusses the art of war with generals, and he can see everything she says and does every day.
Now, he really can't see her.
I don't know what she was doing, who she saw, and what she said.
The loss in his heart suddenly increased, and he could no longer deceive himself.
When you are close to her, your heart will be chaotic; if you stay away from her, your heart will be more chaotic.
