Tyrant's "stand-in" shadow guard

The two court ladies knew nothing and continued to discuss the matter.

"I heard that His Majesty didn't even go to the Mingxin Hall these days, and stayed with him in the Yulin Hall all day long. Even the Queen Mother asked His Majesty in person, saying that she would give him a title."

In the eyes of the maid, this is a great honor.

You must know that since His Majesty ascended the throne, you have never heard of anyone being lucky. If you really want to bring Ying Qi into the harem, doesn't it mean to restart the harem?

Once the harem is reopened, then these people...

"It's a pity that His Majesty doesn't seem to have that intention." The little maid said regretfully.

The maid named Ji Wei was about to get angry, but when she heard what the little maid said behind her, she became complacent again, her voice was a bit mean and sharp: "A substitute is a substitute, a plaything, and you can expect His Majesty to really think highly of him and give him a Fame? Wishful thinking!"

From the shallow cognition of the court ladies, a person who can become an emperor has a place in the harem, which is definitely considered an honor.

However, His Majesty rejected the Queen Mother's proposal. To them, it meant that Li Xingjin didn't care about Ying Qi at all.In fact, it's not just them, the vast majority of people in the palace have more or less such thoughts.After all, these people didn't know that Li Xingjin would raise Ying Qi to an unattainable position in the future.

"I heard that this person's background is not very good, he is an ordinary poor family, and I don't know if there is anything dirty about him..."

Probably because of the long-standing grievances, the conversation between the two became more and more unpleasant.

Separated by a rockery, the two shadow guards who could hear clearly were both fearful and angry.

What is frightening is that the emperor's face is about to storm at the moment, and what is angry is that the words of these court ladies are obviously not only aimed at Ying Qi, but even their shadow guards are also incidentally humiliated.

How can their majestic sword-carrying emperors compare with the pets trapped in prison? !

"His Majesty?"

A shadow guard finally couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward to look at Li Xingjin questioningly, and asked deliberately.

"Who?...Ah!!"

The little maid screamed, and when she saw Li Xingjin next to the two shadow guards, she rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, forgive me!" She didn't dare to faint, she knelt down at Li Xingjin's feet without any blood on her face.

Yang Jiwei was also trembling all over, but she maintained her noble status and was a bit smart, she felt that she just said a few wrong words, no matter how much His Majesty loves that male favorite, it is impossible for her to turn against the family behind her because of this.

She lowered her head, bit her lips, the glimpse just now was enough for her to see Di Wang Wushuang's face, with long and thin sword eyebrows, dyed thin lips, so cold.But the pair of phoenix eyes that are half hidden by the curtain are affectionate and gentle, like peach blossoms and spring water, just one glance can make people fall into deep sinking.

Yang Jiwei's heart was beating non-stop. Although she was classified as the daughter of the Minister of Justice, but because the power of the Ministry of Justice has become weaker and weaker in recent years, and there is no harem in the palace, she has never had the opportunity to enter the palace these years. This is still her. After entering the palace as a court lady, it was the first time to see the real face of the emperor.

With just one glance, she understood why the second elder brother would disregard his father's wishes and enter the Zhunti Palace even at the expense of giving up the position of assistant minister that he could easily get.

If it was just pure unwillingness in the past, this glance made the jealousy in her heart even more violent.

Why?Because of a Song Qi, she had to stay in such a filthy Hall of Absolute Beginning, can't she see that in the future, even a substitute, a man, can surpass her?

Identity, talent, appearance, gentleness, and littleness, she has everything, and she also thinks that she is superior to a shadow guard who comes from a poor family and can only kill with a sword. The old relationship between Changming Palace and Song Qi for many years, it's just that I haven't seen others' kindness.

Thinking of this, she plucked up her courage, tried her best to soften her voice, and said without leaving any traces: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my little girl has no intention of disrespecting Lord Wei Qi, really," she said with a faint grievance on her face, inadvertently Side head, a few strands of soft hair hanging from the side of the bun are attached to the side of the face, making the face more like fat, red lips and white teeth. Feeling innocent and charming, "Master Wei Qi is a shadow guard, but he bullies his brother and ruins his appearance. The little girl feels sorry for her brother, so she lost her sense of propriety."

"Your Majesty forgive me."

The reason why Li Xingjin could finish listening to her sophistry was simply because she was so angry that she didn't react.

At this time, when she heard her mentioning her brother, she asked gloomily, "Your brother?"

Very good, killing only this one is too cheap for the other party.

Yang Jiwei was overjoyed, and said: "My brother has received His Majesty's imperial edict, and now Yang Zhunwei, who has entered the Zhunti Palace, is the son of the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment."

Li Xingjin paused and glanced at her.

Yang Jiwei stood still with downcast eyes, trying to show her best side.

She knew that since His Majesty asked this question, he would probably not care about it any more.

However, in the next second, she opened her eyes wide, raised her head in disbelief, and looked at the smiling and handsome emperor.

The thin lips that moved her heart slightly parted, but what spit out was a devil-like terrible word: "Then cut off the tongue and forget it."

"……Do not!!"

With a "click", the tragic cry stopped abruptly.

Ying Qi had just finished practicing today's calligraphy, when she saw Her Majesty who had gone to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager came back.

Ying Qi paused for a moment to sort out his pen and ink, and glanced at His Majesty inadvertently.

He pursed his lips, spread out the rolled rice paper, and put it on the table, trying to create a feeling that he was concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood right now, no, it should be said that he has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and now it seems to be at its peak.Yingqi subconsciously didn't want to touch the mold, so he slowly grabbed the brush and started writing again seriously.

After all, it is a daily punishment. Write down tomorrow, and you can relax a little tomorrow.

Li Xingjin didn't make a sound since entering the study by accident, just found a place to sit down at random, looked at Ying Qi's direction and didn't move, it seemed that he was just wandering, not focusing on Ying Qi.

Doubt flashed in Ying Qi's black eyes, and he felt more and more that there was something wrong with His Majesty today. He was practicing calligraphy with a brush in one hand, and because of convenience, the other hand unknowingly touched the jade pendant on his chest, and held it in his hand unconsciously. Boring to play with.

His Majesty said that this jade was not real jade, but a jade-like bluestone, but it felt much better to the touch than jade, warm and smooth, like silk.The carvings of mandarin ducks on the bluestone surface are different, if not for the reminder from the shadow of the day, he really thought it was just two birds, the carvings are not exquisite, but they are deep and powerful, every feather and every life are clear, touching it with his fingertips, Can imagine its vivid shape.

Surprisingly, this kind of bluestone seems to be a little flexible, Ying Qi pinched it hard, but found that it would be slightly deformed.

Ying Qi pulled the blue stone pendant out from the collar, looked at the little bird on the jade face, squeezed it hard, and then saw that the fat bird who had shut its mouth and raised its neck, looked a little proud, was taken by him. With a pinch, the sharp red mouth opened, and the eyes deformed and widened, as if screaming.

Shadow Seven: "..."

He couldn't help pinching and pinching, and when he came back to his senses, on the white rice paper with few handwritings, there stood a fat bird that looked very stupid, screaming with its neck raised.

Li Xingjin walked behind him at some point, and seeing how devoted he was to the game, he couldn't help but also smiled, with a complicated mood, and said in a low voice, "I thought you wouldn't discover this bit of fun."

He couldn't help but feel better, and rubbed Ying Qi's black and neat hair, and when he asked people to look at the messy bird's nest helplessly, he said softly: "The palace is indeed boring, I will take you out of the palace some other day." let's go."

There are too many gossips in the palace, instead of always paying attention to Ying Qi's accidental listening and getting annoyed, it's better to make those people shut up completely.

Ying Qi's eyes lit up slightly, then he suppressed himself and persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous outside the palace, it's better for you to go by yourself."

As if he had seen through Ying Qi's careful thinking, Li Xingjin glanced at him with a half-smile and didn't make things difficult for him, and continued: "There was a play a few days ago, and the transportation of salt to important border towns such as Huangkou is not easy. Let someone handle this matter, and by the way, privately visit in a low-clothes, visit the folk scenery, the people's various attitudes, as my closest entourage, shadow guard, you must follow orders to go."

Ying Qi replied: "Yes!"

Li Xingjin stared at him for a while, and said, "Aren't you angry?"

Shadow Seven asked inexplicably, "Your Majesty?"

What are you angry about?

He didn't know why, but looking at His Majesty's eyes, he nodded along.

Li Xingjin coughed, and couldn't help touching his hair.

I didn't expect people who lost their memory to be so easy to coax.
