〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

Xiao Zixian was called to the South Hall early in the morning. Emperor Qing was wearing ordinary clothes, so he probably would not go to court.

Seeing that he wanted to salute, Qing Emperor smiled and said: "In the future, when there is no one else between you and me, there is no need to use hierarchical etiquette. If it is in front of the officials, I don't want you to be the target of public criticism, so I will not stop you if you want to salute. "

Xiao Zixian twitched his lips slightly, "Then you're looking for the minister today, are you?"

Emperor Qing took out a booklet, "These are the disciples recommended by Prime Minister Right, all of whom have reached the level of being a teacher. Let's discuss to come up with ten to replace those officials from Jiangnan."

"Do you want to make a decision now? Why don't you call them into the palace first?"

"You still don't believe in the right minister's eyes? Come here and take a look with me."

Xiao Zixian nodded, and the two began to flip through the booklet.

The right side summed it up very clearly, which student has what advantages and disadvantages, and the character and character are listed one by one, and each student has a "positive" symbol at the end, and the right side remarked: This is recommended Conditions, five are the best, three are the second, and one is not recommended.

There are several pages with five symbols on the opening page, and the characters "正" are less and less as you turn to the end, so it doesn't take much effort to read.

Xiao Zixian and Su Jiulian seldom have big differences in opinions on political affairs, so it only took a stick of incense time for the two of them to select the children to be appointed.

"Afterwards, you will be responsible for ordering them to take up the post."

Xiao Zixian nodded, "I will finish it as soon as possible."

Holding the brochure, Xiao Zixian went out of the palace to the Right Prime Minister's residence.

Emperor Qing saw his back going away, and ordered Chen Gonggong outside the door, "Send more people to guard the palace city, and the prime minister will notify me as soon as he returns to the palace. Also, I will go alone later. Xiyuan, don't make any noise, just pretend you didn't see me."

Eunuch Chen bent down and saluted: "I will do it now, slave."

After dismissing Xiao Zixian, Qing Emperor also heaved a sigh of relief, and walked towards Xiyuan calmly.

The moment An Yao saw Emperor Qing, she was still a little flustered, she never expected to see Emperor Qing so soon, she even forgot to pay respects.

Emperor Qing was also surprised to see this face that looked like his old friend. How could there be two people who are exactly the same in the world?If Xiao Zixian was a coincidence, then who is this woman in front of him?

Eunuch Chen wiped off his sweat. When he saw this woman a few days ago, he almost peed in fright. It happened to be another night, and he thought it was a ghost. Fortunately, Master Ye Shuang explained it to him. .

Seeing the two people looking at each other but being relatively speechless now, Eunuch Chen didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only silently wait on the sidelines.

An Yao came to her senses first, but she changed her usual demure attitude and said playfully, "Are you lost too?"

For no reason, Eunuch Chen wanted to roll his eyes, but he still reminded: "The emperor is here, don't be rude."

Qingdi's pupils shrank slightly just now, and he clearly saw Kurma's shadow on An Yao's body, and suddenly felt a sense of wonder, so he waved his hands and said, "It's okay, let's avoid it today."

An Yao said again: "Like that kid, he really didn't lie to me, he is the real prince."

Emperor Qing sat down, the maid brought refreshments, Eunuch Chen led them to wait outside the door.

Emperor Qing said: "Do you know why I called you into the palace?"

An Yao shook her head and said calmly: "If I knew, then I would probably ask the emperor."

"Your real name is An Yao? From Hangzhou Qishui Town?"

"Since the emperor has already sent someone to check my background, why bother to ask?"

"But I learned from Yanyue Tower that they picked you up from the mountains, and those household registrations are just fakes."

An Yao shrugged, "If I say that I lost my previous memory and was abandoned in the mountains, would you believe me, Your Majesty?"

Qingdi frowned: "Is this true?"

An Yao raised three fingers on top of her head: "I swear."

"If this is the case, I have no choice but to believe it." The Qing Emperor twirled the teacup, "You will stay in Xiyuan during this time, and you will not leave this palace gate."

An Yao made a bitter face: "Your majesty, do you still want to restrain me? If you don't suffocate, you will suffocate. Why don't you let me out of the palace?"

Emperor Qing raised his head and looked directly at An Yao: "If I plan to keep you forever, would you be willing?"

An Yao was surprised: "Your majesty, are you kidding me? You want to keep me forever? You have to give me a reason to stay, right?"

【"Keep me forever? Why do you want to keep me forever? You have to give me a reason, right?"】

Emperor Qing was in a daze for a moment, this was what Kurma said, but An Yao's tone and expression were too similar!

After thinking about it, Emperor Qing replied: "You just need to remember that I want to keep you forever."

Before Emperor Qing stepped out of Xiyuan, An Yao blurted out: "Your Majesty, are you sure you really won't keep me for a lifetime, and then confine me for a lifetime? I won't do that."

Emperor Qing went straight out of Xiyuan without saying a word.

An Yao stroked the hair in front of her forehead. The emperor's aura was more oppressive than anyone else's. Even if she was well prepared, she was still nervous, and even her hair on her forehead was slightly wet.

……

Back in the South Palace, Emperor Qing remembered something, and ordered: "Where is the piece of jade that I liked last year? Go and find it."

Eunuch Chen asked a lot: "Does the emperor want to make that jade into an accessory?"

Emperor Qing nodded, and took out a blueprint, "I will carve the shape according to the stamp on it, and make it as soon as possible."

Eunuch Chen took it over and took a look. What was painted on it was neither mascots, spirit beasts, or patterns, but the appearance of two people, beautiful and picturesque, unparalleled in the world.

"Remember, you must find the best sculptor in the palace to make it, and there must be no flaws. Also, ask a few people to guard Xiyuan, monitor An Yao's every move, and record everything she said every day in detail. , sent to the South Hall at night."

"Yes, the slave takes orders."

The jade pendant has already started to be made, I don't know if the bone fan that I'm looking forward to is finished, how many hours have passed?Why hasn't he come back yet?

Qingdi had to wait patiently.

Su Ye, who had difficulty coming out to watch Lin Yuxing and Shen Junnuo practice, was a little absent-minded at this time, as if he was wandering in the sky.

Ye Shuang came over with snacks, handed him a piece, and asked, "Prince, is Master not here?"

Su Ye came back to his senses and nodded, "The teacher was called by the emperor, saying that there is something to do, let me play by myself today."

Ye Yi also asked the two children who were practicing to rest, and went over to chat with Su Ye together.

Su Ye raised his head to look at them, and said, "Hey? You seem to have grown taller. You are taller than when I just saw you. Now I have to raise my head so high that I can see your faces."

Ye Shuang looked at Lin Yuxing beside him, smiled and rubbed his head, "That's right, practicing martial arts to strengthen your body, growing taller is inevitable."

Shen Junnuo smiled, "Does the prince want to learn martial arts like us?"

Su Ye pouted: "Okay, I happen to have this idea."

Lin Yuxing said: "Practicing martial arts is not easy. You have to endure hardships. You are a prince, and the entire royal guard can protect you. What more martial arts do you need to learn?"

Ye Shuang shook his head, "You boy, are you boasting about your hard work and ability to endure hardships in a disguised form? Do you know how to write the word humbly?"

"Didn't you say that before you taught me?"

Ye Shuang got angry and began to speak eloquently! !

Su Ye said earnestly: "I really want to learn martial arts. I just want to learn when you are practicing."

Ye Yidao: "Prince, you are still young, you can talk about it in a few years, besides, the prince should have been distracted just now and wasn't watching."

Su Ye was slightly embarrassed: "Actually, I was thinking about that sister in Xiyuan."

Not to mention that Ye Shuang really forgot about this, now that the master has come back, but it seems that he has no plan to tell the prime minister about it at all, what exactly does the master want?

Shen Junnuo made a gesture of silence: "Didn't you say you can't make it public? It would be bad if Mr. Xiao happened to hear it."

Ye Shuang cooperated and lowered his voice, "Then let's talk quietly. Brother, did the master tell you anything? Hurry up and tell us."

"Master, he is measured, and I didn't ask too many questions, as long as he is responsible for obeying orders, it will be fine."

"But I don't think it's okay to hide it from the master. I can't guarantee that the master will find out someday. How should the master explain it? We need to take support measures first."

Lin Yuxing was disgusted: "Are you sure it's not a delaying measure?"

"What are you talking about, brat? Are we like this! Let's be strong!"

Su Ye rubbed his face helplessly: "But my father won't let me tell the teacher, I really want to say it."

"Prince, please don't. What if the conflict intensifies and the consequences get out of hand? So it's better to keep it a secret. As long as the people in the palace don't tell me, how can the master go to Xiyuan without incident?"

The other four nodded.

"What are you talking about?"

"Wow!!!"

Not only the few people who were talking were frightened, but even the visitors were frightened.

Xiao Zixian asked dumbfounded: "What's the matter? Such a big reaction?"

Ye Shuang patted his frightened little heart, "Master, where did you come from? I didn't even hear the slightest movement."

"I just came back from work, and I saw what you were talking about when I passed by here, so I came over to have a look."

Mentioning this, everyone was speechless, Su Ye was quick to think, and said: "Teacher, I want to learn martial arts."

Xiao Zixian was curious, "Why is the prince suddenly interested in martial arts?"

"After learning martial arts, you can exercise your body. Ye'er wants to grow taller."

Xiao Zixian rubbed Su Ye's head, "Originally, the emperor and I wanted the prince to learn martial arts in two years, but since he wants to learn now, let's start studying with Yuxing Junnuo tomorrow."

Su Ye nodded, "Okay."

"I'll go to the South Hall first, and it's time for lunch later, so you guys come over together."

The five nodded in unison.

Ye Shuang breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the master walk away, "Fortunately, the master didn't hear anything, I was almost scared to death just now."

Ye Yidao: "Yu Xing Jun Nuo, go and review what I told you just now, and we will go to the South Hall after the practice."

The two apprentices nodded.

Su Ye watched from the side and took note of their actions by the way.
