I was Idle and Cool Chapter 89: Guardian Fang Shaoxing

Frankly speaking, Lu Jinxi admires Xue Tingzhi.

A concubine with an alien blood and a disability, but dared to come to her and put forward the idea of ​​participating in the imperial examination. In the eyes of others, it can be said to be "risking the world".

Completely whimsical, it sounds almost impossible.

However, people's fate is in their own hands. If you don't fight for it, you will never get it, and you don't know what will be determined by such a fight.

Therefore, although Xue Tingzhi was forced to bow his head and to learn the attitude of seeking others, if those interests were put aside, she actually liked him very much.

Just because of this mood.

If she were Xue Tingzhi, she would have made the same decision.

Inexplicably, there was a strange smile on his lips. Lu Jinxi looked at the imperial garden at the moment, and thought for a while. In the end, he chose to return to the crowd.

She really doesn't fit in.

But sometimes, she doesn't want others to think she's too out of place to be approachable.

In front of it is a small stone pavilion.

The concubines and concubines who were tired of walking and wanted to rest, all rested there, and some people sat by the small lake and whispered.

When Lu Jinxi walked over, Wei Yi was in the booth.

It was probably because she was in the pavilion, so few people dared to go in and rest with her. Only the empress had a distinguished status and sat with her.

The surroundings are extraordinarily quiet.

The voices of the ladies and ladies who were admiring the scenery in front of them all sounded a little distant here.

After thinking about it, Lu Jinxi didn't go in.

Although this virtuous concubine is strange to her, she is a smart person after all, and she has a faint taste of moodiness and anger. If there is nothing wrong, it is better not to provoke it easily.

What's more, they are not the same people, and it is impossible for them to come together.

The footsteps turned, and she passed by the stone pavilion with no difference at all, and walked to the position of the Taishi's wife Xiao Tang and the Taifu's wife Dong in the corner of the imperial garden.

A few ladies have gathered here, and it's quite lively to watch.

Due to the birthday banquet at the Grand Master's Mansion, Mrs. Tang had a good impression of Lu Jinxi, and her father, Lu Jiuling, was on good terms with Mrs. Gu, so she took the initiative to greet her when she came.

Lu Jinxi has a well-rounded temperament. If you don't deal with it, you can't do anything about it. With a little thought and effort, the effort of a few words will be integrated with everyone.

But when others look at her, they won't think she's very powerful.

Like water that takes shape, everything is silent and there is no trace.

Even Wei Yi, who was watching from a distance in the pavilion, didn't find any clues. She just assumed that Tang Shi and others took care of her and always gave her a call. She still looked as gentle and mediocre as before.

I don't see anything surprising.

It was Mrs. Hou and Miss Xie Taoling of Kangshun Hou's mansion who had been "rewarded" by her before.

The mother and daughter stood pitifully in the corner, looking miserable.

It's a pity that Wei Yi has never had any sympathy. He looked around and was even inexplicably happy.

How can someone like Gu Juefei look up to Xie Taoling?

She felt that she was helping Xie Taoling.

Hopefully, the people from the Marquis of Kangshun's mansion can see what kind of ruthless and heartless monster that legendary "Eldest Master Gu" is.

Wei Yi slowly retracted her gaze, took a sip of tea, and did not speak to the queen beside her.

The sun is slowly sloping westward.

The good sunshine in the spring is slowly approaching. Before the cold wind blows, there is news from Xiao Che, the emperor of Qing'an in the front hall, that he wants to give a dinner.

So here in the harem, no one left.

The scenery was almost finished, and after two small poetry sessions, I returned to the Rouyi Hall, sat down and used the dinner party, and worshipped the queen again, and this was the end.

When it was time to leave, people came to the front hall.

This is the news that Lu Jinxi is waiting for.

The one who sent the message was a little **** who was not familiar with her. She lowered her head and lowered her voice: "The banquet in the front hall is over, and the eldest princess has already told the emperor what you said. . Now I hope you will stay for a while and go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor wants to invite you to see him."

The emperor summoned?

Lu Jinxi's eyelids jumped immediately, only to think that the result was too unexpected. Even if Xue Kuang's past achievements were high, and Lu's status was special, it wouldn't make sense to summon a court lady, right?

She wanted to ask more, but the little **** shook her head and said, "The emperor only said he wanted to summon you, but he didn't say why he was summoned. The eldest princess is also over there, so you should hurry up. ."

Princess Yongning is still there...

With such an eldest princess who can speak in court, nothing should happen, right?

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Lu Jinxi just pressed down his slightly startled heart by the news, and calmly said, "If that's the case, please ask the father-in-law to lead the way."

The little **** was also the one who served the royal front.

I know what to say and what not to say.

He didn't say a word to Lu Jinxi along the way, he just led the way in front of him with his head sullen.

The Taiji Hall is only used when there is a grand ceremony or a grand ceremony. The daily meeting of ministers is either in the South Study Room or in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The gilded plaque hangs high above it.

It was the first time that Lu Jinxi had come to this kind of place. Even though he was cautious, he didn't raise his head to take a look even if he had the guts.

Because of her standing at the end of the steps outside the hall, the little **** bowed in and announced, "Report to the emperor, the general's wife is here."

"Announcement."

Probably because people are in the hall at the moment, the voice is clearer than when they were in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but there is also an erratic emptiness.

Lu Jinxi walked in.

Entering the hall, I walked forward for about ten steps, and I could see the steps with the imperial bill with my downcast eyes, so I stopped and bowed down.

"The ministers and wives meet the emperor."

"Flat."

After all, it's a peace ceremony. Xiao Che, who doesn't like alcohol all the time, also drank a lot. At this moment, he was a little drunk. The man was sitting behind the imperial desk, and he had changed into a dark purple uniform embroidered with the dragon's secret pattern, and it was rare to relax a little.

"The eldest princess has already told me, I heard that Madam wants the eldest son of your house to take the imperial examination?"

Xiao Che shouted "flat body", only then did Lu Jinxi get up.

After all, the eldest princess Yongning has different identities. She was given a seat by Xiao Che, and she sat on the side at this moment. When Xiao Che spoke, she didn't interrupt, just looked at Lu Jinxi.

Lu Jinxi glanced at her, then took the opportunity to get up to look at Xiao Che again.

When the child is just over today, he still looks very young. Although his face is not very outstanding, there is a natural majesty around him, and he does not seem very mediocre.

Just...

He looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

It seems to be a little curious, but also a little scrutiny, and a little more thoughtful.

The imperial examination system is a major event in the selection and appointment of the imperial court. Most of the literati in the imperial court believe in "not my race, their hearts must be different." .

Not to mention Lu Jinxi, even the emperor himself may be scolded with blood.

The question he asked was not so easy to answer.

As Lu Jinxi's thoughts turned, he lowered his eyes, and his posture showed a bit of a very bewildering sense of obedience, and his voice was slightly lowered, giving the illusion of obedience.

"A courtier and a woman are a woman, and she is a woman's benevolence."

"Although Xue Tingzhi is of an alien blood, he has been raised by the general's side since he was a child. After entering the government, he is very sensible, diligent in learning and questioning, and has no barbarian habits. A man must have a place to stand in his life. He is born with I am sick, not good at wielding knives and spears, and I cannot carry on the will of the general to protect the family and the country; and now I am negotiating peace with the Xiongnu, and the courtier thinks that the border is peaceful and there is no war to fight.”

"That's why I have this heart."

Xiao Che is also the first time in the past few years to really see this "Mrs. General". To be more precise, he has basically never seen Lu Jinxi in previous years.

Looking at it now, I can't help but be amazed at her appearance.

Just after she said these words, his attention shifted away from her appearance and fell on the words themselves.

There are many memorials on the imperial case.

The crimson cinnabar was put aside, and the imperial pen was placed on the pen mountain. It hadn't been touched today, and it looked clean. Right in front of Xiao Che was the book that was handed over by several generals more than ten days ago.

You don't need to look at it to know that it's against peace.

The marriage gift that year was the will of Xiao Che himself.

He also knew that Xue Kuang and Lu Jinxi had never met, but he didn't think it would end like this. It is false to say that there is no guilt in his heart. After all, Lu Jiuling couldn't afford to kneel outside the palace gate and begged him to take back his life, but he did not agree; but it is impossible to say how guilty he is.

He is the emperor after all.

Before seeing Lu Jinxi, Xiao Che thought that this great general's wife should not be doing well, and he might be against the matter of negotiating peace itself.

It can be seen that Lu Jinxi, I heard what she said...

Xiao Che doesn't think so.

This woman who has been in the deep house for a long time seems to know the advance and retreat better than those generals who have fought outside for many years, and can see the overall situation clearly.

Just this, has made Xiao Che feel very comfortable.

He picked up the papers on the imperial case that the soldiers opposed to negotiating peace, looked at it, pondered for a moment, and then said: "General Xue fought for the country and sacrificed his life on the battlefield. Although Xue Tingzhi is a son of a concubine, he is indeed the blood of the general. , should be given preferential treatment. But the matter of the imperial examination is of great importance, and it will affect the government and the opposition at every turn, but it is not something I can decide with a single word.”

Listen to this, as if you were willing to agree?

Just...

After a little speculation, Lu Jin guessed the embarrassment of the emperor. Of course she knew how to answer, but at this moment, she just kept silent and didn't answer.

As Lu Jinxi, she won't have any problem answering the conversation; but as Mrs. Lu, if she answers, she will appear too daring and have extraordinary knowledge, fearing that she will reveal some undeserved flaws.

So she kept her head down, as if listening to the hadith.

Xiao Che didn't know her at all, and seeing such a gesture was only normal, so he paused and continued: "This peace meeting was originally opposed by many ministers, and it was finally settled. Now, if you want to make an unprecedented exception for the son of your family, the literati who have the same disease and pity will also make an injustice to seek common ground. This is a big matter, not to mention the civil servants. There are also many people among the military generals. To oppose the matter of peace, it would be very difficult to let foreign blood participate in the imperial examination.”

General...

Lu Jinxi's eyelids couldn't help but jump again, only to think that the emperor's words meant something.

Thinking about it in her heart, she finally grasped a delicate degree and said: "The court lady is a woman in the house, and I don't dare to talk about the affairs of the government, but the generals who came under the command of the great general in the past, Although it is not very reasonable, it is expected that there should be some affection for the blood of the generals. The court lady feels that if they are aware of it and move it with reason, they... shouldn't be too opposed to it, right?"

That's a bit naive.

But this is exactly what Xiao Che needs.

He just thought he had a few words to deceive the general's wife, who had no scheming, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"That's what I said, but these idiots don't give me any face at all. I don't know how much I know about the fact that they are against the matter of peace, and everyone thinks I'm stupid. I'm afraid that even if If I know it with love and move it with reason, they may not be willing to listen.”

scoff.

This emperor, who has said a lot, is still waiting for her here.

Fortunately, this book is not a big deal, and Lu Jinxi is not disgusted.

What's wrong with negotiation?

Neither ceded land and paid indemnity, nor lost power and humiliated the country. With the strength of Daxia, if the barbarians in the southwest, northwest, and northwest were truly accommodated in an open state, it might not be impossible to build a prosperous world.

It just depends on whether Xiao Che thinks so thoroughly.

Of course Lu Jinxi wasn't stupid enough to talk too much about these things. He just looked hesitant at the moment, as if he couldn't make up his mind, and he was afraid that what he said would offend the emperor.

Only said: "If, if the emperor does not dislike it, the ministers and wives are willing to receive holy orders and persuade the generals."

"Oh?"

The smile on Xiao Che's face has widened a bit, but he made a puzzled voice, as if surprised that she would say such a thing.

In the current situation, it's actually a hit and miss.

Lu Jinxi already got some kind of signal from the tone of this word, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan, the honor of Wancheng, naturally it is not easy to reason with them. But the ministers and wives are only females, and they are also generals. Widows, even if the generals have any opinions, it is not easy for them to attack the ministers' wives. It would be more appropriate for them to persuade them."

"Hahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense!"

Xiao Che finally laughed out loud, one was Lu Jinxi's awareness of current affairs, and the other was the ease of accomplishing this goal today, and he was a little overjoyed for a while.

Just after thinking about it, he still frowned slightly and asked her another important question quite seriously.

"However, although things can be done like this, I am indeed willing to do everything in my power to fulfill Madam's wish. However, Madam can be sure that she really wants to help this son of a bitch? Change it. At that time, if Madam wants to go back, it will be too late."

"When the minister's wife asked the eldest princess, she thought it over and over again."

Lu Jinxi bowed and bowed again, but he bowed his head to the emperor with all his courtesy.

"The emperor is willing to fulfill, and the ministers and wives are very grateful. Whether it is successful or not, I will thank the dog on behalf of the dog. Even if things change in the future, I will never regret it."

"I already understand Madam's determination. If this can be done, it will be regarded as a precedent for the imperial examinations in my big summer. I also ask Madam to get up quickly."

As soon as he cleaned up the little **** next to him, someone immediately went up to help Lu Jinxi up.

Xiao Che was quite satisfied with her response, and only said: "It's getting late, I think Madam is tired from going to the banquet today, so I won't stay with Madam. I will deal with the matter in the DPRK tomorrow."

"Your Majesty is wise, and the courtiers thank you."

He bowed and bowed again, but this time he didn't kneel.

Lu Jinxi thought inexplicably that when Xue Tingzhi asked about this, she only forced him to kneel down, which was too light. Just seeing the emperor once and entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation once, she knelt twice, wouldn't she have to kneel again when he decides?

It's time to ask him to kowtow to himself two more times. This is a good deal.

The thoughts in her mind flew far away, but Xiao Che didn't know it.

Things went smoothly as expected, so naturally there was nothing to say next. Lu Jinxi said goodbye to the emperor, so he withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and passed through the corridor where he came under the guidance of the little eunuch, only to stop for a while. stop.

Soon, Princess Yongning, who came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, walked out.

The setting sun is reddish.

She is dressed in a gorgeous palace attire, walking on the corridor of this carved beams and paintings, surrounded by a few trusted courtiers, all of whom are the noble Tianjia style.

It's no exaggeration to praise "Feng Yi".

The smile on her lips was a little deep, and Princess Yongning seemed to be in a good mood, so she walked up and said, "It's not bad, but you're very brave, and you dare to say things like asking for your own life, I'm really not afraid of the emperor. An upset chopped your head off?"

"The emperor is a prince of benevolence and virtue, how could he care about his ministers and women?"

Lu Jinxi's voice was low, and her acting skills were first-rate. If Gu Juefei was here, he would not be afraid to grit his teeth and say "Fox spirit" when he saw her!

However, the eldest Princess Yongning still doesn't know the virtue of her niece.

Hearing her words, it is natural to regard it as a compliment to the emperor.

So inexplicably sneered.

Xiao Cheruo can also be regarded as "benevolent", then which emperor in this world is not qualified?

It's just that even if she said this as her identity, it would be classified as a great treason.

Therefore, Princess Yongning avoided this topic and didn't mention it any more, she just said: "It's also your good luck, the emperor was already troubled by the disputes between the court and the peace. Don't look at the peace ceremony. It has been passed, but some people are convinced and unconvinced. Your incident came at the right time. Since you have received the emperor's promise, as long as there is no major incident, it will be done after a while."

That also has to be "tossed for a while".

I want to know, Princess Yongning is easy to say, I am afraid that when things start to progress, there will be another **** storm in the court.

Lu Jinxi still had some thoughts about the court situation.

She did not show any overjoyed emotions, she only said: "The emperor can promise to be lucky for his niece. As for whether it is successful or not, it is up to God."

"You can think so."

She said this, Princess Yongning felt more and more open-minded after her illness, but somehow she remembered the incident where Gu Juefei got close to Lu Jiuling at the banquet before, and her mind moved.

"This palace is also out of the palace, let's go together."

Lu Jinxi glanced at her in surprise, almost immediately guessing that she should have something to say to him, so she nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, the two of them hadn't taken two steps out, and there was a sound of exclamation in the distance.

"No, no, come, come, come!"

This is the voice of the eunuch, especially spy because of fear.

Eldest Princess Yongning, who was still planning to speak to Lu Jinxi, heard it, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked forward.

It is the direction of the main entrance of the palace gate.

The ceremony of peace talks has ended, and officials of all ministries have to leave here, including the envoys from the Xiongnu. At this moment, he has already held Daxia's harmony book and reward, and arrived at the palace gate.

Can't get out.

Looking from a distance, a lot of court officials have gathered in that direction, and the darkness is full of people.

Something happened?

Don't care about what to say to Lu Jinxi, Princess Yongning hurriedly stepped forward and took a few steps, grabbed a little **** who hurriedly ran from the palace gate to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and asked sharply, "What's going on!"

"Return to the eldest princess, at the gate of the palace, Mrs. Fang and Fang blocked the road, preventing the Hun envoys from going out!"

The little **** also had a horrified look on his face, obviously he had never seen such a big battle, neither was it hot or scared, and his face was covered in cold sweat.

Even the voice is shaking!

Lu Jinxi was stunned.

The eldest princess Yongning was even more unexpected, she was extremely surprised, her brows wrinkled, her aura of majesty immediately became deeper, and her voice became cold: "It's Fang Shaoxing again?!"

The hand birthday banquet in the Taishi Mansion was blocked a while ago, and it was just a surprise.

But he's making trouble again? !

The Xiongnu envoy is not Taishi Gu, this is a major event between the two countries!

The anger in her heart burst out in an instant, and Princess Yongning couldn't even care about Lu Jinxi for a while, so she took her palace servant and strode to the palace gate!

Lu Jinxi was behind her, pondered for a moment, and followed.

When she first entered the palace gate today, she felt something was wrong.

Which guard stationed at the gate of the palace would not bring the sword and halberd distributed by the guard camp, but would have to bring a sword that was obviously reserved for himself?

Fang Shaoxing clearly wanted to make trouble from the beginning.

Although she felt that this matter was a bit tricky, she was not as angry as Princess Yongning, after all, it was none of her business. So she didn't say anything, nor was she stupid enough to comfort Princess Yongning at such a time.

Follow all the way, all silent.

It's just that the closer you get to the palace gate, the louder the discussion, including the angry questioning of the Hun envoys.

Holden's eyes seemed to burst into flames, his chest kept heaving and heaving, obviously he didn't expect that he would be intercepted here when he brought people out!

And still by this mortal enemy!

He was already in a hurry, and his burly body was tense with infinite anger: "What does General Fang mean?!"

"What do you mean?"

Fang Shaoxing's armor of Jinwuwei had been taken off at some point, and he was only wearing a sassy white robe, and his evil eyes showed endless sharpness!

Holding a silver gun in one hand and a wine jar in the other.

He raised his head and drank the last sip of spirits, and then threw it to the ground with a "snack", smashing it into pieces.

Raising his sleeves and wiping the alcohol off his jaw, he looked at Holden and shouted to the person next to him: "Come on, give him the knife!"

Everyone was stunned.

I haven't figured out who Fang Shaoxing is instructing, and whose knife he is referring to, when a guard next to him came up in cold sweat and handed a curved saber to Holden.

The scabbard is full of gems and is two feet long. It is not the shape of the Central Plains at first glance.

This is the saber that Holden took off when he entered the palace to meet the Daxia Emperor.

Although he took the knife, he didn't understand what Fang Shaoxing meant.

"What the **** are you trying to do! Now the two countries have just negotiated peace, don't you want to tear up the peace book?!"

"Hahaha, and book?"

Fang Shaoxing burst out laughing, and the expression of a bit of wickedness and wantonness had been completely taken in. At this moment, the handsome face was covered with boiling fighting intent and icy killing intent!

"I stop you, not for state affairs, but for personal grudges!"

"When!"

The silvery slammed heavily on the ground, and the hard stone bricks on the ground at the gate of the palace suddenly shook. It was a thrilling sound of gold and stone colliding!

With the help of this moment's anti-shock power, he turned the silver spear around in mid-air with great ease, lifting the weight lightly, but with a condensed power, he was actually carrying it behind him!

The tip of the spear, which flickered with cold light, pointed obliquely to the ground, dyed red by the bright shadow of the setting sun.

At this moment, everyone could vaguely smell the loneliness of the desert yellow sand!

The old scar under the corner of the eye is vaguely reminiscent of the old days.

Fang Shaoxing's voice was full of arrogance and arrogance, as well as the arrogance of Lord Grim drunk in the battlefield: "In the past, in the battle tomorrow, Xue Kuang didn't chase after you and let you die! The door is guarded by someone on our side, if you can beat it, let you pass through the door with dignity! If you can't beat it, you will take this piece of trash and find another door!"
