Xu Qing was halfway there when he heard these words. Why was he still cursing when he kindly gave him money?
Just call him handsome!
I received a good guy card for no reason...inexplicably.
But this beggar is so young, what if some miracle happens and it becomes a big deal? In troubled times, there is always a chance.
Even Xu Qing wanted to find a few useless people who were born with no meridians to support him, but later he gave up the idea after thinking about the different worldview.
But what the wise king said is still right in the end. Eliminate the root cause, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Either don’t do it, or do it absolutely!
If you are soft-hearted towards others, others will not be soft-hearted towards you.
To survive in troubled times, it is better to be cruel!
At this moment, Xu Qing felt a little regretful. If he had known better, he would have caught Xu Sima a few more times, or directly fished for law enforcement and added Lingchi. Why waste a thousand miles to warm up? It is time-consuming and laborious.
The wise king will secretly send the account books to the military camp for a whole year, but these shadow guards will be busy.
When Xu Qing returned home, Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue were preparing something on the stone table in the yard. When Xu Qing asked, Xiao Ruxue raised the box in her hand and said, "In a few days, the queen will be the queen."
It’s my birthday. Of course it’s a birthday gift for the Queen! Sister Su and I have been preparing it all morning! We just have to tie it up with colorful ropes.”
With that said, Xiao Ruxue put it down, picked up the colorful rope woven from silk and tried to tie the delicate box with the colorful rope, but after tying it back and forth, it only made an ugly knot.
Xu Qing said: "It doesn't look good if you tie the rope like this. Take it apart and I will tie one for you."
Xiao Ruxue nodded after hearing this and dismantled the rope for a long time. Her face suddenly collapsed: "I can't untie it..."
Just when Xu Qing was about to find a pair of scissors to cut open, he heard a "swish" sound, and the jade-white long sword on the side was already unsheathed. Xu Qing was stunned and returned to the scabbard.
The silk thread on the gift box suddenly fell away.
Su Qian put the sword back into its sheath and said, "This will untie it."
Xu Qing couldn't help but swallowed when he saw this scene. The lady's martial arts was really becoming more and more powerful.
After that, Xu Qing fiddled with it and tied a beautiful bow with a colorful rope. It looked much better than Xiao Ruxue's casually tied knot.
"So beautiful! I want to learn from it!" Xiao Ruxue was very moved when she saw it.
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian, who was also quite moved, and said with a smile, "Madam, do you want to learn?"
Su Qian nodded lightly, handed Xiao Ruxue a colorful rope, and picked up one herself, observing Xu Qing's techniques.
…
In a blink of an eye, the Queen's birthday has arrived. After all, it is the Queen's birthday, which is the birthday of her mother-in-law. Everywhere in the capital is decorated with lanterns and colors.
The banquet was chosen to start in the evening. If it were actually held, it would probably not end until dark. However, it was also because of this that we could see how dazzling the fireworks prepared by the National Business Institute were.
Produced by the National Business Academy, it must be a high-quality product!
Su Qian and Xu Qing were both preparing. Only his father-in-law was drinking water. His daughter went to attend the palace banquet, and his son-in-law also went to the palace banquet. Only he, the father, did not receive the invitation, and he was really embarrassed.
ah!
royal palace
After checking the invitations at the palace gate, the invited guests walked into the palace one after another. The gifts they brought could be left at the palace gate. They were not necessary and could not be brought inside. Who knows if a dagger might be found inside?
?
We really need to learn from the lessons of our predecessors!
Although it is only evening now, palace lanterns are already hanging everywhere in the palace, showing happiness everywhere.
Moreover, there were many more guards patrolling the surrounding area than usual. If something unexpected happened at the Queen's birthday party, it would not only be a loss to the royal family, but also the face of the entire Chu country.
"Li Ming, hurry up! Don't waste time."
"Hey, it's Brother Song."
Li Yi's son, Li Ming, was holding several seemingly important gifts in his hands, but the man he called Brother Song was empty-handed.
After placing the things outside the palace gate, Song Mingzhe checked the invitation, and then the two of them walked inside.
But Li Ming was stopped. The soldier on duty looked at Li Ming and said: "Invitation!"
Song Mingzhe smiled and said: "This commander, this person is my servant, and I am with you."
The soldier looked at Li Ming and then at Song Mingzhe, nodded, and stepped aside.
After Song Mingzhe and Li Ming walked into the palace together, Song Mingzhe looked at Li Ming and said: "I took the risk to bring you into the palace. You must abide by the rules later! I will not go if I offend someone I shouldn't.
I’ll protect you!”
Li Ming just lowered his head and said, "I will remember Brother Song's teachings."
At another place, several people came over. One of them was surrounded by the others and called him "Brother Qin". He seemed to have an extraordinary status.
When Song Mingzhe heard the word "Brother Qin" and looked at the crowding posture, he immediately walked up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "May I ask who is the grandson of Prime Minister Qin, Brother Qin?"
Jiang Xiang is the left prime minister of the current dynasty, while the right prime minister is Qin Xiang.
Qin Zihong nodded, looked at the person approaching him and said, "Who are you?"
Song Mingzhe said: "My father, the Right Minister of Household Affairs, just took office a few days ago. When I first came to the capital, I heard about Brother Qin's name. I finally met him today."
Song Mingzhe's father was originally the governor of Qingzhou. The right minister of the household department was dismissed from his post and investigated for embezzling disaster relief funds. The governor of Qingzhou was transferred to the capital and became the right minister of the household department.
Although Qin Zihong knew that this person's words were just flattery, he had to say that this flattery sounded so comfortable!
Qin Zihong said: "It turns out to be my wise brother Mingzhe. Since we have met, let's go together."
Song Mingzhe quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, please take care of me in the future."
Saying this, the two groups formed a group and walked towards the palace together.
Qin Zihong nodded and continued to discuss the topic just discussed:
Should I go to Liuxiang Pavilion or Chunfeng Tower next time?
Although the environment in Liuxiang Pavilion is more elegant, the "Beijing Xunbao" said that the girls in Chunfeng Pavilion are more beautiful!
Well, that's a problem.
Song Mingzhe stood by and took over the conversation with a smile: "My little brother has quite a bit of knowledge about this."
Qin Zihong said: "Oh? What good advice do you have, dear brother?"
Song Mingzhe said: "If the women in the brothel are not the Qinghuan, the rest are all coquettish. To my younger brother, she is still an ordinary married young woman with charm. Especially when she resists, she looks even more conquering."
I don’t know what it feels like, Brother Qin..."
Everyone around him was silent. Song Mingzhe thought that everyone was fascinated by what he heard. He found a good topic and kept talking. He was completely unaware that Qin Zihong and others were silently moving away from this person.
The son of the new right minister of household affairs.
The last person who thought like him was lying in bed a year ago, and he is still in bed now...
