Prince Li was stunned by her words for a long time. He suddenly laughed, slapped his mouth lightly and begged for mercy:
"Anle, please don't laugh at me. I've been running around in circles with those officials all day long over the years. They guarded me, and I guarded them. I didn't even dare to slack off in talking. It's so tiring."
He has a high status, and he successfully obtained an official position because of his contribution to disaster relief, but he has two unreliable parents.
It seems that as long as he succeeds in becoming an official, his responsibilities will be over, and when his sister gets married, he will just leave!
What's even more outrageous is that I haven't even sent them a letter for many years.
Not to mention that there is no help left for their brothers and sisters.
Although he was the prefect of the same place, he was so poor in Ancheng that he didn't want to recall it now. In short, the word "gui" was not even remotely related to him.
When he first arrived in Gui'an City, no one asked for help but no money. The former prefect left a lot of mess for him, and almost all of the officials below him were acting in an unfaithful manner.
That difficulty cannot be described in words.
To put it shamefully, he had cried silently several times at night when no one was around, and he had regretted his decision to go to court countless times.
Qi Bao'er pushed a plate of cakes in front of him sympathetically and consoled him insincerely: "It's all over."
Prince Li laughed and echoed as if sighing: "Yes, it's all over."
When we met after many years of separation, it seemed that things had changed, and yet it seemed that nothing had changed.
At this time, Qiu Yu came over, leaned down and said, "Sir, dinner is ready."
Qi Baoer got up and made a gesture of invitation to Prince Li, "We are in a hurry and there is no big fish or meat. Prince Li, don't be dissatisfied with it later."
Prince Li also started to smile. After talking for a while, and hearing Qi Baoer's tone that was the same as nine years ago, he felt much more at ease.
"How can I dare to dislike it? You don't know Anle. Who doesn't look forward to sitting at the same table with you nowadays? Let alone big fish and meat, it is just a bowl of water. If you are willing, there will be people rushing to drink it."
He was not exaggerating in any way. Putting aside the older generation, some of the younger generation admired Anle's ability, some gained the emperor's trust because of Anle, and some might just do it for Anle's detached appearance; but
No matter what it was, not only did they have a meal together, but it was enviable for them to be able to talk to Anle.
As for his so-called friends, when they learned that he had returned to Beijing, they all immediately stuck to him as if they had smelled the smell. They obviously came to visit him, but inside and outside, they were all asking him when he was going to be there.
I'm going to visit Anle, can you go with me?
Qi Baoer smiled and did not take these words seriously. He turned to Qiu Yu and told Qiu Yu: "Go and invite Princess Binghua and Princess Youle."
"yes."
-
After the meal, Prince Li and Princess Binghua knew that Qi Baoer, now the Minister of the Ministry of War, had a lot of things to do; being able to spare the time to see them and have dinner with them was enough for them.
Face; how could they be so shameless and ignore it?
He stood up and said goodbye.
Qi Bao'er didn't keep them. She didn't come to the Royal Hunting Ground to have fun like everyone else. The closer it got to night, the more careful she had to be.
….Although the weather in March is no longer bone-chilling during the day, at night, the cold wind still seems to be covered in ice shards that penetrate into people’s bones.
Qi Baoer walked slowly into Qianyang Hall with his claws on his back.
Although this is a temporary palace, it is naturally incomparable with the imperial palace. There is nothing in the royal study room, and the specifications of Qiyang Palace are also much simpler.
In the center of the main hall is the emperor's bedroom, with the study on the left, and the right side, which still retains the imperial characteristics, is the place where the concubines sleep and rest.
Qi Baoer is entering the study room on the left now.
But before going in, she was called aside by Eunuch Fu and chatted for a long time.
"Lord Qi, the Emperor didn't order dinner tonight."
"Old slave, my heart hurts."
"I pray that you will do well and save this old slave. Your Majesty only listens to your advice."
Qi Baoer looked at his clumsy acting skills speechlessly, "Okay, leave it to me."
I ran in with my short legs, and sure enough, the old emperor was sitting behind the imperial desk, holding a red pen and reviewing memorials.
Apart from anything else, the Emperor's diligence alone is admirable.
"Your Majesty, did you miss dinner again?"
The emperor raised his head from the memorial and rubbed his eyes without concealing his fatigue, "Bao'er is here."
Qi Bao'er walked up to the imperial case with a stern face, reached over and forcefully snatched the imperial pen from the emperor's hand and placed it on the inkstone, folded the memorial, then picked up the emperor and walked out.
"The Emperor can never finish the affairs of the world."
The emperor allowed her to be dragged away without any hesitation, with a conniving smile on his face, "You are the only one in the world who dares to do this to me."
But he owed it to Qier, and he liked the girl's complete lack of fear of him.
He is the king of the Qilin Kingdom, the emperor of the concubines in the harem, and the emperor of the people.
But what the people in the world think of him, he can only hear from the mouths of the courtiers; the courtiers respect him and fear him, but they just want to get what they want from him; the concubines in the harem all seem to regard him as their Heaven regards him as their life, just because their family can benefit from his favor.
In his memory, it seemed that no one had ever really treated him as someone who simply cared about him.
The little girl in front of her neither wanted anything from him nor was she afraid of him; she wished him well simply because she wished others well, and it was never to get anything from him.
It is really valuable that this purity can be used on him.
Therefore, even if there are no rules, the emperor is willing to indulge them.
Eunuch Fu watched the emperor being pulled out by Qi Bao'er's sleeves, and silently bowed and waited as if he hadn't seen him. After the two of them passed by, he followed silently.
It was already a surprise. For those of them who served the emperor closely, this scene was already familiar.
He dragged the emperor to have dinner, and of course, Qi Bao'er had another royal meal; after that, the emperor returned to the study without changing his diligent character and continued to accompany his memorial, while Qi Bao'er left Qianyang. The queen went around for a walk.
Whether they are royal family members or nobles from aristocratic families, all of them are delicate and elegant. Although they are riding in a carriage, sitting in a carriage for a whole day is not enough for these people. They have all returned to their residences by now.
take a break.
Except for the patrolling soldiers, there were almost no other people outside.
After a while, Liu Yuan trotted over. If you look closely while running, you can see that his right leg is slightly lame.
"Sir, someone really wants to come in from the hunting ground."
"Um?"
The emperor acted so arrogantly on the first day he arrived at the royal hunting ground?
"Sir, they are the secret guards of Duke Dingguo's mansion. They climbed up from the cliff in the mountain and have been captured."
Liu Yuan was actually quite speechless. He was playing tactics with people like them who had passed by on the battlefield. What on earth did those people think?
Do you really think that they are easy to bully because they are new ministers at a young age?
