Chapter 192 The people in the palace really know how to play
"Step back, everyone, step back. Your Majesty doesn't need your guards, please step back quickly!"
Outside the door, Wang Shougui drove away the imperial guards who rushed to escort him. Although the imperial guards did not understand what the dead eunuch was up to, they still retreated one after another.
In the Jingxin Hall, the atmosphere was somewhat silent. The two maids serving nearby did not dare to express their anger, and they did not know what was going on on the second floor.
Jiang Beiran first glanced at Mu Yao, saw that she turned her head away with a guilty conscience, and then shouted: "Come out."
But there was no movement on the second floor, which reminded Jiang Beiran of the way Yin Jianghong looked for Mu Yao when he came in not long ago.
So Jiang Beiran raised his voice twice and said, "Why, do you want me to go up and invite you in person?"
"No, no, I'll come out on my own!"
This time, a dull response came from the closed space on the second floor.
Then there was a "squeak" sound, and the suitcase on the second floor was opened. Kong Qianqian raised his hands above his head and stood up tremblingly.
"This is nonsense! Come down quickly." Jiang Beiran shouted sternly.
The frightened Kong Qianqian answered "Yes" and quickly stepped out of the box, but the palace clothes on his body seemed to be caught by something. In desperation, Kong Qianqian pulled hard and was about to go down the stairs.
But the next second, she heard a "hiss" sound, and Kong Qianqian felt bad, knowing that her skirt was torn.
In an instant, emotions such as 'Look where the skirt is damaged', 'You have to go downstairs quickly', 'Mr.'s expression is so scary', etc. flooded into Kong Qianqian's heart, which her walnut-sized brain couldn't handle at once.
coming.
In a hurry, her heart panicked, her eyes darkened, and she rolled down the stairs like a tire.
However, Kong Qianqian was also a cultivator after all. After rolling down the stairs, he stabilized his figure and knelt down in front of Jiang Beiran in a strange posture, but his butt... was a little high.
"First...oh no, your Majesty is lucky."
'I'll give you a favor...'
Jiang Beiran, who felt like his forehead was full of black lines, took a long breath and said, "Who can explain to me what's going on?"
As soon as he said this, the maids waiting on both sides knelt down quickly.
Kong Qianqian quietly raised her face and looked at Mu Yao.
Mu Yao first patted her forehead, then looked at Jiang Beiran cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, Qianqian... was brought in by me."
"Are you really treating the palace like a child's play?"
Hearing Jiang Beiran's calm and confident voice, Mu Yao was also a little flustered. She lowered her head and explained: "I didn't expect things to develop like this... I originally thought I was just here to visit the palace, but who knew that the eldest father would
I'm staying here."
After hearing this excusable reason, Jiang Beiran didn't bother to care how she secretly brought Kong Qianqian with her, and how she secretly hid her in this meticulous palace.
He said directly: "In that case, let's forget it this time and send her back quickly."
Mu Yao's heart tightened after hearing this. She was not familiar with this place. If Kong Qianqian was sent back, the only person she could communicate with would be the emperor in front of her, who she hated and was afraid of.
So Mu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she bowed to Jiang Beiran and said, "Your Majesty... please just keep Qianqian in the palace as well. If you are just a little palace maid, it's not a bad rule."
After saying that, he kept gesturing to Kong Qianqian with his eyes.
Kong Qianqian was not stupid this time. She quickly raised her body and clasped her hands together and begged Jiang Beiran: "Your Majesty, please just leave me, no, keep this slave by your side. I will become a palace maid. You want to drink tea."
This slave will never give you plain water to drink."
'You claim to have changed your mind faster than me...'
Seeing Kong Qianqian spare no effort in worshiping him, Jiang Beiran felt that it was not impossible to keep this girl. Firstly, he could have an extra handle in his hand, which would make Mu Yao even more afraid of being a monster. Secondly, if he could find a companion for Mu Yao
, she wouldn’t come here all day looking for things to do.
It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
After making a decision in his heart, Jiang Beiran looked at Mu Yao and said, "It's okay for Kong Qianqian to stay, but if she causes trouble, you will have to bear the responsibility."
Mu Yao didn't expect Jiang Beiran to agree so readily, and unexpectedly thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of her."
Kong Qianqian also said repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so kind."
Waving his hand, Jiang Beiran said to Mu Yao: "Take her down to change her clothes, and teach her the rules of the palace so that she knows what to say and what not to say."
"Yes." After Mu Yao said that, she took Kong Qianqian and left the hall.
Not long after, Mu Yao came back with Kong Qianqian, who had already changed into palace maid clothes.
It has to be said that the saying that a person depends on his clothes is very reasonable. Dressed in a pink palace robe and with long, fine black hair, Kong Qianqian looks a bit soft and has a different kind of style.
It makes people want to pinch her little baby face.
It's a pity that such beauty only lasted for a moment. When Kong Qianqian found Jiang Beiran looking at her and smiled innocently in return, not even those cute dimples could save her from feeling silly.
Seeing Jiang Beiran turn his eyes back to the book, Mu Yao gave Kong Qianqian a look, and Kong Qianqian immediately nodded and stood behind Jiang Beiran.
Mu Yao quietly walked up to Jiang Beiran and said: "Your Majesty, how can I..." Halfway through her words, Mu Yao quickly changed her words as if she remembered something: "Excuse me, how can I become the heroine prime minister you mentioned?
ah?"
"Read more books." Jiang Beiran replied without raising his head.
"Then...can I read the books here?"
"random."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
After Mu Yao finished speaking, she happily went to find a book.
Glancing at Mu Yao who was looking for a book with great interest, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this silly girl really wanted to save the common people from the bottom of her heart.
'It's true that no matter what kind of person there is always one or two shining points.'
After sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran turned his eyes back to the book, looking for what he had just seen, when a gust of cool wind suddenly blew out the candle on the desk.
Jiang Beiran looked back and saw Kong Qianqian holding a palm fan as tall as a person, with his head lowered and tired, obviously knowing that he had done something wrong.
If he could complain, Jiang Beiran would definitely slap the palm fan out of Kong Qianqian's hand and yell: "Are you going to take a banana fan and send me to the Flame Mountain?"
Although Jiang Beiran's expression could not be clearly seen, Kong Qianqian could feel Jiang Beiran's gaze that seemed to be able to stun people.
At this time, another maid next to her quickly came over and lit the candle again. When the candle light came on, the maid who saw Jiang Beiran's expression was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life..."
When Kong Qianqian saw it, he quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
"Stop knocking and stand still."
When they heard it, they immediately stood up together.
Looking at Kong Qianqian who was still holding the palm fan, Jiang Beiran asked: "What do you want to do?"
"The weather is hot, I want to give you a fan..."
"I think you just want to play with this fan."
Kong Qianqian's expression twitched, as if he was told something important.
"Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty is the smartest person in the world. Your Majesty, please spare me this time. I will never dare to do this again."
"Put the fan away and don't move it any more."
"Yes!" When Kong Qianqian heard that the emperor had forgiven her, she quickly put the palm fan back into its original position and stood still.
'Well, maybe this is how Qianlong felt when he saw Little Swallow...'
Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and continued reading.
"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"
"People are well-off in Wufu! Pines and bamboo buds are lush~"
Following the sound of the midnight watch, a eunuch outside the Jingxin Hall came in with his head lowered and knelt in front of Jiang Beiran and said: "Your Majesty, it is the third watch."
Jiang Beiran, who was reading a book, frowned and asked: "It's midnight, so what?"
The eunuch raised his head cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is here to ask if you want to ring the bell tonight?"
"Ring the bell?" Jiang Beiran looked confused, "What do you mean?"
The eunuch immediately replied: "Your Majesty, please allow me to show it to you."
"I'm sure."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the eunuch finished speaking, he ran to a coiled dragon pillar and pressed the moment pillar held in the dragon's mouth.
Then there was only a "rumbling" sound, and Jiang Beiran found that the caisson above her head was slowly rotating, and at the same time hundreds of threads of different colors slowly lowered.
Just when Jiang Beiran was wondering what this meant, the eunuch came over and knelt in front of Jiang Beiran again and said: "Your Majesty, this bell rope leads to the apse. Each rope is connected to a bell. On the bell, there are everyone
Which empress's name you choose, Your Majesty, will enter the palace to serve the Emperor tonight."
‘What the fuck!? The people in the palace really know how to play! No, it’s Deng Bo, that dog emperor who really knows how to play.’
While the eunuch was talking, ropes continued to fall, which reminded Jiang Beiran of the trick he used to play in the amusement park where he could get rewards by pulling the rope and whatever was connected to the other end of the rope.
Because most of the things drawn are worthless trinkets, and those dolls that are as tall as a person will never be drawn.
But here you can definitely win the lottery, and it’s all “big prizes”.
Seeing Jiang Beiran looking at the rope with a look of surprise on his face, the eunuch quickly stood up and introduced: "Your Majesty, these ropes of different colors represent empresses of different ages. The empresses connected by this blue rope are all fifteen years old.
The hairpins, the ones connected by the red string are all from the cardamom year, and the ones connected by the white string are all from the golden hairpin year, this..."
"That's enough!" Jiang Beiran waved his hand, and the frightened eunuch quickly knelt on the ground again, wondering what he had said wrong.
'Damn it... golden age!? Isn't that twelve years old? What a beast!'
Although it is true that twelve-year-old girls can get married in this era, Jiang Beiran cannot accept it at all. He is deeply afraid that if the eunuch continues to retaliate, what will happen if there are still those who are still young in the future? He really listens
Don't want to hear it.
Mu Yao next to her also frowned. She didn't have much opinion about age. After all, in her concept, a ten-year-old girl could have been married. What she frowned was that the emperor's life was too licentious, and the rope was too
A little more.
"I have just ascended the throne. There are still many things to do, so I will dispense with this matter and step aside."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the eunuch quickly stepped back.
Looking at the hundreds of ropes still hanging in front of him, Jiang Beiran looked at the palace maid next to him and said, "Take this thing away."
"Yes." The palace maid nodded, and hurriedly walked to another coiled dragon column and pressed it, and then the rope was slowly withdrawn.
'He's an architectural genius...but he's not very serious.'
As the Jingxin Hall returned to its original state, Jiang Beiran picked up the book again and started reading, causing Mu Yao, who was also reading at the side, to look sideways.
'No wonder my father strongly recommended him to be the emperor. At least he knows that this is not a time for pleasure and understands what is important and what is light.'
After secretly sizing up Jiang Beiran for a while, Mu Yao turned her gaze back to the book.
As a child, she had read many classics in private school, but she rarely read them since she started practicing, because her personality was to refuse to admit defeat. Although she admired her elder brother very much, she never gave up on surpassing him.
I have this idea, so I practice hard every day. As a result, my studies will be wasted.
Now she had time to read books again, and they were all books she had never read before. She immediately enjoyed reading them, and even felt that she should not have completely neglected her studies over the years.
Jiang Beiran was a little tired after seeing Yin Shi all the time. He put the book on the table and looked at the eunuch next to him and said, "I'm tired."
The eunuch immediately understood what Jiang Beiran meant, lowered his body and followed Jiang Beiran to guide him: "I will take you to rest right now."
Mu Yao also quickly put down her book and followed Jiang Beiran.
Although Jiang Beiran granted her permission to read, she did not forget that she was a female official and serving the emperor was her first priority.
Of course, Mu Yao was able to have this self-awareness because she was afraid that if Jiang Beiran didn't say anything now, he would settle the score later. She didn't want to stand around stupidly for another day.
Returning to the palace, under the service of two palace maids, Jiang Beiran changed into his nightgown and sat on the dragon couch.
"Everyone, please step aside. I don't like anyone around me when I'm resting."
Several palace maids responded "Yes" and exited neatly.
"call……"
As the first day of being emperor came to an end, Jiang Beiran stretched out and felt that there were many things he had to do next.
‘This long-lost feeling of fulfillment is not bad.’
Jiang Beiran's life was very busy when he first joined the Guixin Sect. After slowly improving his various skills, he wanted to try everything. He was looking for materials every day, and fighting wits and courage with the hall master to fight for himself in the back mountain.
We arrived at a place of spiritual practice.
During that year, Jiang Beiran could be said to be busy and fulfilling every day.
It was not until he later accepted a few younger brothers that he no longer had to do everything himself, that he became much more relaxed, practicing some interesting skills or triggering some options based on his hobbies every day.
All in all, I've always been pretty cool.
Now that he has become the emperor, his life has undergone an earth-shaking change. Although it is not what he wanted, surprisingly he does not dislike it very much, and he even looks forward to the future.
'Sure enough, after being salted for a long time, you will want to turn over?'
