Qing Jialu

Chapter 96: Summer Begins

In the alley not far from Guozijian, there is a unique small courtyard house.Not long ago, a young man from a rich family took over it and refurbished it.

In the study in the backyard, a young master was reading by the window when suddenly a servant came running in and said to his master: "Master, Miss Mujin is here."

The book in Young Master's hand fell to the ground, and he didn't bother to pick it up, so he ran out in a hurry.

"Master, please slow down." The servant had no choice but to run out with his master.

Du Huan didn't run very far when he saw a young girl standing under the front porch.She lowered her head and looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Looking from the side, she looked like a quiet and elegant lady.

"Miss Hibiscus," Du Huan strode up, "Are you alone?"

Mu Jin looked at Du Huan upon hearing the sound, smiled and said, "Why, you're not welcome?"

As soon as she spoke, she immediately broke the illusion of a lady, showing her lively side.

And Du Huan just liked Mu Jin's liveliness. He smiled and said, "Where, I'm afraid that it's not safe for you to go out alone."

"I will be able to go out of the palace often in the future." Mu Jin couldn't hide the matter, and immediately told him the good news.

Excitement fell from the sky, Du Huan didn't react immediately, he was stunned before saying: "Really."

"You are not joking, what His Majesty said is of course true." Mu Jin glared at Du Huan, "Don't invite me in yet, shall we stand at the door and chat all the time?"

Du Huan patted his head, "I was so happy that I forgot, please come and see my new home."

"Your new residence has been tidied up so soon?" Mu Jin walked in while looking at the small courtyard, "It's not bad."

Du Huan walked close to Mu Jin's side, and he led Mu Jin to the backyard, "There is a bamboo forest here. I think the bamboo grows well, so I asked someone to set up a stone table beside it. In midsummer, you can enjoy the shade here."

"You really know how to enjoy it." Hibiscus teased.

"In the future, if the girl can come to play often, we can enjoy bamboo and tea together here." Du Huan said, a little embarrassed, he smiled shyly, "Please sit down."

Mu Jin sat on the stone bench generously. She saw that there were only two stools, so she suggested: "You can put more stone benches, maybe my master will come to drink tea with you in the future."

"Brother Xiao, oh no, it's Your Majesty." Du Huan yelled smoothly, but couldn't change it, "Your Majesty, if he is willing to condescend to come to my small courtyard, it will really shine."

"Master is very nice, don't be afraid just because you know his identity." Mu Jin smiled, "But you are stupid enough to not find out until the end."

"I'm not stupid." Du Huan refused to accept, "I just...was just misled by Brother Shen."

"How did he mislead you?"

"Brother Shen and Your Majesty, their relationship is not like a monarch and minister, but like, like..."

Du Huan couldn't tell what it was like.

Mu Jin's complexion changed drastically when she heard the words, and she quickly corrected: "What nonsense are you talking about, they are monarchs and ministers, don't think too much about it."

"I didn't think too much about it." Du Huan rubbed his head, thinking what I was thinking about, why did Mu Jin get angry all of a sudden?

Mu Jin also found out that she had overreacted, and she immediately made amends: "Your Majesty trusts Elder Shen Ge, they want to reform, how can they not have trust. Therefore, Your Majesty is more kind to Elder Shen Ge than to other courtiers."

"Oh." Du Huan nodded half-understood, "So, Your Majesty will order tea for Brother Shen, and Brother Shen will bring food for Your Majesty?"

Mu Jin: "...it's normal for the monarch to show kindness to his subordinates, and his subjects to repay their kindness to his superiors."

"They also swam in the West Lake together, and no one was allowed to follow them."

Mu Jin: "...they have state affairs to talk about, so it's normal that they can't be heard by others."

"Oh, that's right." Du Huan remembered, "The first time I saw them, brother Shen was drunk and fell into His Majesty's arms, and His Majesty helped him back."

Hibiscus: "..."

Look, what do these two people do every day, for fear that others will not see their relationship.Mu Jin began to give up on herself, and didn't want to explain.

Forget it, I don't care about what I like.

Days passed by, and it was mid-April in a blink of an eye, and there were only a few days left before the one-month deadline.However, the three officials from the 510 Office only left more than 200 people.The remaining officials still did not give up, staying in Beijing and refusing to leave.

"If those people don't leave, what are you going to do?" Xiao Yi asked this sharp question in Yuxi Palace.

Shen Jia thought for a while and said, "Move with emotion, understand with reason."

"You have already reasoned with them." Xiao Yi said, "If they don't listen, what should they do?"

"Then don't want their three-month salary subsidy." Shen Jia said angrily.

"Do you think these troublemakers will care about that little money?" Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Changqing, you are still too young."

Shen Jia frowned slightly, "What are you going to do? Are you really going to send out Jin Yiwei to drive them away?"

Xiao Yi nodded unabashedly and said, "Yes, there is nothing I can do about the so-called toasting without eating fine wine."

"This won't work." Shen Jia frowned, "It will damage His Majesty's wisdom, and it will also chill the hearts of all officials."

The disharmony between the monarch and his subjects was such a big event that Shen Jia absolutely dare not let it happen.

"Changqing, when you decide to implement 'Elimination of Redundancy', you should think of the day when the monarch and his subjects will fight each other." Xiao Yiyu said earnestly, "In this world, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. If you want to cut down the redundant Official, but also think that the monarch and his ministers are of the same mind, how is it possible?"

Shen Jia was taught, he really didn't think too far.At that time, he only wanted to implement "removal of redundancy" as soon as possible. As for the aftermath, he didn't think too much about it.

"So, if the limited date comes, we will have to dispatch Jin Yiwei?" Shen Jia asked again unwillingly.

Xiao Yi resolutely said: "Leave this matter alone, there is no room for change."

Shen Jia was startled, he raised his eyes to look at the lover in front of him, feeling both familiar and strange.He had watched Xiao Yi's gentle side for a long time, and for a moment he even forgot that this person was a king who came to power with blood and killed decisively.

Perhaps killing and conquest are Xiao Yi's true face.

"Scared?" Xiao Yi saw Shen Jia's expression and knew what he was thinking.

"Not afraid." Shen Jia denied, "I know you are very powerful, everyone is afraid of you. But now, you are mine."

When she said the last four words, Shen Jia leaned close to Xiao Yi's ear, exhaling lightly, her tone was ambiguous and bewitching.

Xiao Yi tilted his head, he didn't expect Shen Jia's possessiveness to be quite strong.He smiled slightly and replied, "You are also mine, since you dare to step in, don't even think about going out."

"Okay, I can't ask for it." Shen Jia squinted at Xiao Yi and threatened him, "Xiao Ming, next time you tell me the 'Story of the Snow Mountain', just think about what you said today."
