It was already Chen time when Yunxi woke up the next morning. When he opened his sleepy eyes, the first thing he felt was the air blowing gently on his face.
He turned his head and looked at the peaceful sleeping face of Xiyao who was pillowing next to him. He smiled with some satisfaction and reached out to touch her cheek gently.
Xiyao, who was sleeping, also felt it. She turned her face and got rid of Yunxi's hand.
Yunhe gently took away Xiyi's arm on his body and wanted to stand up, but then he felt the pain in his waist and smiled bitterly.
Flying together requires more physical strength, and the number of times he exercises has been significantly reduced this year. This time, the pain in his body is more serious than last time.
‘We must exercise more,’ Yunxi thought.
Then Yunxi slowly got up from the bed and softly greeted Tingle to help him get dressed.
At this time, she didn't know whether Yunxi's movement of getting up or the footsteps of the palace maids alerted her. Xiyao opened her eyes, subconsciously looked at the engraved table beside the bed, and then she sat up and said: "Your Majesty
, why didn’t you wake me up?”
Yunxi said: "My husband saw that you were still sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to wake you up. Besides," Yunxi said with a smile, "I'm afraid you are too lazy to get up now."
Xiyao's face turned red again, but she still said: "Husband, it is natural for a concubine to serve her husband." Then she got up.
But she immediately stopped again, her left hand still tightly grasping the quilt covering her body. She just forgot that she was a little ridiculous last night, and finally fell asleep without wearing pajamas.
She blushed even more and softly asked the palace maid to help her get dressed.
At this time, Yunxi had already put on his clothes, teased Xiyao a few more words, turned around and walked out.
Yunxi came to Qianqing Palace and ordered Wang Xi to take out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but he didn't know what he wrote. Then he called the bodyguard Li Bo to give some instructions, and Li Bo took the order and left.
Yunxi guessed that Sister Xiyao should have gotten up by now and returned to Kunning Palace.

The residence of Qitai, the assistant official in winter, has completely woken up from the night at this time, especially Menzi. Today is the official day of the Shangyuan Festival, and many people came to apply for assassination early in the morning. Most people actually did not expect to get all the money.
Tai's reception was not to give gifts, but it was just a tradition between the country and the dynasty, and it was just a visit during the holidays. People who really thought they could be received generally would not come early in the morning.
Although Qi Tai had his own official residence, he was still very frugal. Although there were some servants in the mansion, he could not afford to hire educated scholars. He had to write all the famous letters himself for the servants to pay homage to;
Although there is no need to reply, it is better to take a look.
When he is too busy alone, he will ask his wife Yu Minyue to write for him.
At this time, Qi Tai was looking at the famous tattoo received from his door, and his wife was sitting beside him, writing her own famous tattoo.
Yu Minyue was writing when she suddenly heard Qi Tai let out a long sigh and asked with some confusion: "Husband, what happened so early in the morning?"
Qi Tai brought over a copy of the famous assassin and said to her: "Look, this is the famous assassin sent by Lian Zining's subordinates."
Yu Minyue looked at it and saw that there were only a few words on the famous tattoo, and the words did not imply intimacy. She said: "Husband, is this, you have had conflicts with him recently?"
Qi Tai said: "Hey, brother Lian, he used to be inconspicuous when he was under His Majesty's vassal, but now he is becoming more arbitrary."
"His Majesty had some opinions about the Ministry of Personnel and he would not say anything. However, Bao Zhao and I had slightly different opinions, so he argued with us and insisted on doing things according to his suggestions. Twice, he even let your Majesty know that he personally
To persuade.”
"I don't want to quarrel with him, but I can't just watch him have problems with his selection and not say anything. It's even more inappropriate to tell His Majesty directly. Besides, if it happens too many times, His Majesty will definitely be able to clearly feel that we have conflicts."
Moreover, when Qi Tai was in his twenties, he passed the Yingtianxiang examination and won the second-level Jinshi the following year. He was not without pride. How could he not be angry when he was robbed by Lian Zining several times? How could he not be angry in the duel?
Zi Ning has no objection?
Of course, Yu Minyue had nothing to do. Speaking of which, this was not a character issue. It was just that Lian Zining liked to take power, which led to this contradiction.
But this kind of problem is not easy to solve. If there is a problem with his character or ability, Qi Tai can ask Yunxi for a substitution without any psychological burden; but now it is not a character problem or a ability problem, Qi Tai can't
There is nothing you can do.
Yu Minyue could only persuade her this way: "My husband, please be patient. Your Majesty is also a smart king. He has probably noticed this matter and will probably make some adjustments in the next year."
Qitai could only say: "That's all we have to do."
The couple were talking when suddenly the doorman came in and said: "Master, Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Qi Tai hurriedly stood up to greet him. As soon as he walked out of the room, the guards had already come over. Chang Ruijiang, the guard who came to his mansion today, was familiar with him. He smiled and said: "Shang Shu, Qi, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Your Majesty has nothing to do to summon Qi."
Shangshu."
"Why is that?" Qi Tai asked. He thought that Yunxi had something to do to invite him to the palace to discuss.
Chang Ruijiang stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of writing and said: "Qi Shangshu, your Majesty wrote some couplets this year and asked us to send them to all the ministers."
Qi Tai made a gesture and wanted to kneel down, but Chang Ruijiang said hurriedly: "No, your Majesty specifically asked you not to kneel down to receive it." Then Chang Ruijiang thrust the words in his hand into Qi Tai's hands and hurried back.
Qitai returned to the room and said to his wife Yu Minyue: "Your Majesty sent someone to send a couplet."
"The couplet written by His Majesty? You should appreciate it carefully. Your Majesty's literary talent is very good." Yu Minyue said this as she deliberately diverted Qi Tai's attention.
Qi Tai was also very interested in the couplets written by Yun Xi. He quickly walked a few steps to the table, spread out the rice paper and started reading. He saw that it read:
“My heart is happy for three springs, and my heart is happy for myself.
Dreams come true and blessings come true, and family dreams come true as well as national dreams come true.”
"This literary talent is quite good." Qitai said.
Yu Minyue understood what he meant and said: "Your Majesty, you can't send everyone the same couplet. How can it be so easy to think of so many couplets?"
"That's right. Since it's a couplet gifted by His Majesty, stick it up. But don't stick it on both sides of the outer door, otherwise you won't be able to see it tomorrow morning." As he said this, he asked his servants to get glue and he would stick it up himself.
couplet.
After a while, the couplet was posted at the door of the main house. Qi Tai looked at the couplet, but couldn't help thinking: 'I don't know what the couplets other people have received.'
…
…
At the same moment, Lian Zining looked at the couplet in front of him and thought: 'Your Majesty, is it really just a random couplet sent to you?'
I saw the rice paper in front of him saying:
Don’t forget your original intention, go back to your roots and follow the path.
Coming from the same source of beautiful dreams, chasing stars, embracing the moon and chasing the east wind.
