The Flower Guarding Bell Chapter 18: Try each other

The smell of ambergris wafted in the imperial study room. At this time, there were only two people left, and the air was quiet for a moment.

Li Changqing looked at the pile of memorials from behind the imperial table, and a sentence of unknown meaning floated over——

"I realize that you are getting smarter recently."

She has low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, extremely docile, "I don't understand the concubine, please ask the emperor to make it clear."

He didn't look at her, he focused on the memorial in his hand, and while reviewing it casually, he raised his lips casually, very shallow.

"If it was in the past, Xiao Qingxue would never be able to bear these humiliations. You have indeed changed."

Xiao Qingxue always lowered her eyes slightly, without denying, "Your Majesty and people are subject to change. As for the concubine, I just want to live."

The movements in his hands stagnated slightly, and his tone did not change in the slightest.

"Then do you think I have changed?"

Hearing that, she raised her eyes, but unexpectedly collided with his scrutinizing eyes, her heart moved, but she smiled.

"Your Majesty, of course it has also changed."

He was noncommittal to her words, his eyes just locked the smile on her lips, and suddenly came a sentence.

"You laugh more than ever."

The curvature of the corner of her mouth froze, and then she pulled it higher, "Your Majesty, people can change."

She repeated this sentence, but her hand hidden in her sleeve clenched slightly.

When all the suffering was unavoidable, she could only cry with laughter.

And these, he will never know.

There was a brief pause in the conversation, then he called her over and showed her the memorial in his hand.

"Tell me what you think."

In the past few days, Xiao Qingxue has become accustomed to Li Changqing's behavior. Since the last time she reached an agreement, she has often entered his imperial study room as a servant.

And when he reviewed the memorial, he didn't seem to shy away from her.

His minister still doesn't know how much of her advice the emperor, who decides everything by himself, has consulted.

She didn't know whether he was tempted or what, but taking this opportunity, she gradually understood the complicated situation in the court. And under Li Changqing's sometimes intentional or unintentional suggestions, the suggestions she gave became more and more perfect.

However, even so, she never dared to take it lightly.

A companion is like a tiger, Li Changqing's city is so deep that no one in today's world can spy on it.

Last time she had a dispute with Li Changqing about the killing of the Hu people, which was finally properly handled by him. It seems that he has a unique way of balancing the relationship between the Hu and Han ethnic groups.

Xiao Qingxue was indeed deeply moved by seeing that both Han and Hu people admired this emperor.

So every time she has this opportunity, she cherishes it with all her heart.

After reading the contents of the memorial, Xiao Qingxue could not help but frown slightly, her tone was heavy, and she looked at him.

"Your Majesty, these ministers use people as their relatives, and nepotism is a matter of nepotism. I'm afraid this method will not be a long-term solution."

He raised his eyebrows to look at her with interest, raised his chin slightly, "Go on."

She remembered that there were many courtiers in the court of Chen Guoshi who were close to each other. Once the power was in hand, it would have a major impact on the imperial power.

At that time, her father, the emperor, was deeply worried about his cronies.

Even if Li Changqing takes control of the new regime, if he doesn't think of a proper way, he will probably repeat the same mistakes. What's more, the tribes that have not yet been reclaimed from the outside are still eyeing them, which is also a big problem.

After listening to her analysis, he could not help but say, "Then what do you think is the current situation in the court?"

Xiao Qingxue's heart tightened slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she truthfully expressed her opinion:

"In today's Yasukuni, there is the worry of usurping by powerful officials inside, and the danger of separatism by powerful vassals outside. The ministers and concubines are deeply worried about your majesty."
