Whoever is more beautiful will make more sense in what he says. Therefore, Liu Qingchen only has to nod in support of anyone who speaks. Fortunately, she is not the emperor. If she were, she would be a confused emperor obsessed with beauty.
Haha, in the eyes of a nymphomaniac, the principles of this world are so simple and clear!
Liu Qingchen was not in a strong state, and of course no one cared what she was thinking!
Ruan Yu, Emperor Jingwen, thought sarcastically that to build a high platform covering an area of several hundred acres, to recruit tens of thousands of craftsmen, and to consume countless amounts of wood and stone, such an extravagant and extravagant act was still a pioneering work! He was really speechless, and he winked at Xun Xi.
.
Xun Xi didn't seem to see the emperor's eyes, and didn't seem to know that the situation was very tense. He looked indifferent and walked up to the Queen Mother as if nothing had happened: "Your Majesty, my minister Xun Xi has learned a new trick and I'm here to demonstrate it to you.
, the Empress Dowager Yibo smiled. I can pile up twelve chess pieces, and then add nine eggs on top."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "It's rare for you to have such filial piety. Please present it. If you perform well, you will be rewarded. If you perform poorly, you will be punished." She turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think would be a good punishment?"
Emperor Jingwen Ruan Yu was glaring at Xun Xi when he heard the Queen Mother ask and said bitterly: "He will be punished to do hard labor in Xishan Mountain."
King Lingxiao of Xiang'an said: "The emperor said angrily again and asked the dignified censor Zhongcheng to do hard labor. Wouldn't that make people laugh out loud? How about punishing him to write a few new songs for the female musician, which is also considered an elegant thing."
Xun Xi saluted King Xiang'an and said, "Thank you very much for your kind words, Your Majesty. Xun Xi will definitely write more songs suitable for the occasion for the female musicians in Your Majesty's palace."
Liu Qingchen was wondering why he was ready to admit defeat before he even performed? No, he seemed to be talking about writing music for the female singer in the palace, not the female musician, which meant that he would write it no matter whether he won or lost.
.
The Queen Mother gestured to the eunuchs around her with her eyes.
"Stop the fun." The eunuch announced, and the singers and dancers all breathed a sigh of relief and went down.
Liu Qingchen didn't find it interesting. He had seen such little acrobatics on TV and didn't want to watch them anymore. Programs that were much more exciting than his didn't have much ratings. The entertainment life of the ancients was really pitiful. Maybe it was just like this.
That’s why I forced these ladies to be so bloody and violent. Yes, I will find more interesting things to enrich their amateur cultural life in the future. Let them kill less people and accumulate more virtue.
After a while, several palace maids in gorgeous attire came to fetch utensils.
Xun Xi stretched out his hand steadily, carefully tiring out the twelve chess pieces first, and then tiring up the eggs one by one. Liu Qingchen was not interested in acrobatics, but he took a good look at the acrobatic hands.
She is fair and slender, with delicate bones. I really want to touch her... (She also said that she is not a human hair nymphomaniac!)
The eggs got tired one after another, and they all swayed slightly, but always maintained a strange balance. The people around were not as leisurely as Miss Liu, and they were all worried that the eggs would fall. The Queen Mother was so nervous that she screamed:
"Danger, danger!"
But Xun Xi said very calmly: "This is not a danger, there is something more dangerous than this!"
"Oh?" The Queen Mother saw that there was something in his words.
Xun Xi said to the Empress Dowager seriously: "The Empress Dowager wants to meet with the late king and build a nine-story high platform. The ministers secretly thought that when the tower was raised, the country would be destroyed. Please think about it, the Empress Dowager will need at least 10,000 craftsmen to build this platform. It is estimated that
It will take three years to complete. Within three years, how many men will not be able to farm because of the corvee? How many women will not be able to weave? Over time, it will shake the foundation of the country! Moreover, this platform costs a lot of money and the national treasury is empty. If the neighboring countries want to covet our court at this time,
What can we do to defend our territory? If this happens, the country's destruction is just around the corner. Is there anything more dangerous than this?"
The Queen Mother looked at Xun Xi without saying a word for a long time. She didn't expect that a person who was usually indifferent could say these words! But there is some truth in it. In luxurious life, one cannot forget the foundation of one's life and the foundation of the country cannot be shaken, so
Ordered: "King Xiang'an, I will leave this matter to you and settle it as soon as possible, lest anyone say that I will shake the foundation of the country and bring harm to the country."
King Lingxiao of Xiang'an replied calmly: "I respectfully listen to the empress dowager's edict."
At this time, the nine eggs completed their historical mission and fell gloriously, leaving egg yolks on the ground. Xun Xi knelt in front of the Queen Mother and said: "I have lost, and I am willing to be punished by the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "If the Ai family wants to punish you, how can we convince the public? I'm afraid that the emperor is also dissatisfied. Why don't I bother you to copy a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" for me and let the emperor burn it when worshiping the late emperor?
It can be considered as a way to express my condolences for the late emperor."
Xun Xi: "The Queen Mother has killed the minister. It is the Queen Mother's grace to let the minister copy the scriptures. How dare you treat it as trouble?"
Liu Qingchen couldn't help but look at Xun Xi with admiration. He was really smart. He was just playing a little trick in the open, but he said it was a national matter in secret. He turned a war into an invisible thing. He was so harmed! I admire him! And he came to apologize afterward. Such a move
Come on, the Queen Mother already has a reputation, and she won't come back to make trouble later.
Liu Qingchen watched and watched, and suddenly realized that this Xun Xi seemed to be quite elegant and reserved, and quite handsome. Although he was not as good as the two super handsome guys!
Xun Xi happened to look away, and the two looked at each other, stunned for a moment.
Liu Qingchen smiled, "Well, it turns out that in this era, metaphors are used to deal with superiors. Well, I learned a trick today, and I will definitely use it in the future."
----
When the song ended and everyone left, Liu Qingchen thought of the maid and wondered if her arms could still be connected to her body. She couldn't help but cast a glance at the good man and handsome guy in her heart, Wang Lingxiao of Xiang'an, asking for help.
King Lingxiao of Xiang'an smiled, as if he didn't understand why.
Liu Qingchen looked at the place where a hole had been pierced on the wooden table, and then turned his bright eyes to look at King Xiang'an.
Liu Qingchen now has a bit of a nestling complex towards King Xiang'an. A chick will often recognize the first thing it sees after hatching as its mother, and trust that thing wholeheartedly. Although the first thing Liu Qingchen sees is not Xiang'an, it will be its mother.
King An, but King Xiang'an was the only person who helped her in this world, and he was so powerful that he made her feel safe. So, she couldn't help but rely on him.
King Xiang'an smiled, as if he didn't understand, and followed the crowd out.
Liu Qingchen sighed in disappointment, the sound was loud enough for everyone to hear it. Only she was still immersed in disappointment and did not notice it.
After walking a few steps, Xiang'an Wang Lingxiao said to Madam Liu: "The maid who got into trouble today still has some color, why not give it to me."
Mrs. Liu stood with her eyebrows upside down and was silent for a moment without any attack. She just said calmly: "If you want it, I'll give it to you!"
Liu Qingchen smiled brightly at Xiang'an King Lingxiao from behind Mrs. Liu, as bright as a spring flower...
