Chapter 262: Message

Faced with King Xiu’s invitation, Xin You did not refuse: “Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty King Xiu. I would be disrespectful to refuse.”

King Xiu looked at Kong Rui with his warm eyes.

Kong Rui obviously hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

 The two of them watched Xin You get on the carriage and drive away, then returned to their respective homes.

 The house given to Xinyou by Emperor Xingyuan was not far away. The house is not big, but it is rare near the imperial city where land is at a premium. It is very suitable for someone like Xin You who does not have a family to support.

Xin You moved in yesterday. When he saw the house, he knew that the person was quite thoughtful.

 “I’ve met the young master.”

Xin You walked all the way inside, and the servants all saluted.

These people are all given by the emperor and may have been beaten. No matter what they think, they look very respectful.

 Entering the main room, Xin You sent everyone out, took a bath and changed clothes, changed his appearance again, and then lay down.

The people I saw during the day flashed through my mind one by one. I wonder if the person named "Dongsheng" is among these faces, and there is no clue about the mark that seems to be the character "Jun".

Xin You thought that the days of being a "Xin waiting for the imperial edict" might not be short.

Such a little minor official like Xinyou didn't need to go up, and he had a good sleep early in the morning.

 That's right, because she lives close by, she only needs to walk, and she gets many envious or jealous looks along the way.

 The sound of low-pitched discussions floated into Xinyou’s ears intermittently.

 “Where is the house that I gave you? It’s right next to the imperial city…”

Xin You knew that this strange sight would last for a while, so she remained indifferent to it until someone walked by and a small object was inserted into his wide sleeve.

Her face remained expressionless, her hands dropped downwards, and the thing slid into her palms.

 By touch, it is a small paper ball.

 Are you from Mr. He?

Xinyou resisted the urge to look back and maintained the same pace.

 Although she is now a man, it is inconvenient for her to interact with Mr. He.

 It's very simple. The interaction between Mr. He and Miss Kou is a private matter, and can only be teased a few times. As for interacting with Mr. Xin, let alone what the officials think, I'm afraid that person doesn't want them to get too close.

Xin You walked into the Hanlin Academy and quickened his pace a little. As soon as he entered the waiting room, the bustling atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Xin You smiled at the waiting people who were sitting upright. When he got to his seat, he spread his palms under the cover of books.

 It is indeed a small ball of paper.

 The paper was opened. The time and place were written on it, and the signature was the character "zhou".

This is the exchange of letters agreed between the two after Xin You was brought to He Qingxiao in the form of Mr. Xin. There is no complicated meaning, just a part of Xin You's "you" and He Qingxiao's "xiao".

Since it was not convenient to deal with the note here, Xin You put it away first and picked up a book to read.

 In the palace, Emperor Xingyuan did not deal with government affairs immediately after coming to court, but instead called to congratulate Qingxiao.

 “Who paid attention to Xin Taizhao yesterday?”

"Reporting to your majesty, there are Meng Jijiu, ministers and ministers of various ministries, the eldest princess..." He Qingxiao reported many people in one breath, and finally said, "Xin Daizhao had dinner at the eldest princess's residence. After leaving, he met His Highness King Xiu. His Royal Highness invited him to have tea with Marquis Jing'an today."

When Emperor Xingyuan heard that so many people were paying attention to Xin Mu, he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

 That’s all for the others. King Xiu asked Xin Mu to have tea?

 “How is the show king’s attitude?”

He Qingxiao said truthfully: "His Royal Highness King Xiu is very friendly to Xin Daizhao."

Emperor Xingyuan frowned, and his first reaction was disbelief.

He has ignored this eldest son for too long and cannot even speak of understanding him, but will he be very friendly to someone who suddenly appears and poses a big threat?

“Qingxiao, I don’t trust the others at Xin Daizhao, so you should keep an eye on them yourself.”

 He didn't want to wait until someone hurt the child, or the child ran away like Xinxin, and then regretted it.

"Yes." He Qingxiao responded, sighing for Xin You in her heart.

 This is why he doesn't want her to go into the deep pool.

 Once you enter the game, freedom is like a mirror in the mirror and ceases to exist.

"Your Majesty, if necessary, can I contact Xin Daizhao?" He Qingxiao asked tentatively. It would be too easy to fall into someone's trap when traveling in secret. It would be much easier if we could go out in front of the emperor.

Emperor Xingyuan is now most worried about King Xiu, followed by the maternal clan forces of several young princes. It's not that they are afraid that they will act like monsters openly, which can be dealt with easily, but that they will secretly be detrimental to Xin Mu.

 Hidden arrows are the most difficult to guard against.

 For He Qingxiao, he is not worried about this.

He Qingxiao had an embarrassing background, and all the power was given by him as the emperor, so he had no reason to hurt Xin Mu.

 “Everything is expedient.”

He Qingxiao felt relieved.

With the emperor's words, he would no longer be afraid of being slandered by someone who was interested in his dealings with Xin You.

 “Go.”

 “Wei Chen retires.”

After He Qingxiao left, Emperor Xingyuan dealt with government affairs for a while, and then ordered the accompanying eunuch: "Send the message to the Hanlin Academy to wait for Xin Mu to come to the palace to see him."

Sun Yan’s eyes flashed slightly on the side.

He thought that the emperor could endure it until tomorrow at least before sending the imperial edict to the palace.

Accompanying the **** to the Hanlin Academy to deliver oral instructions.

 “The emperor orally issued an order to summon Xin Mu to the palace for an audience.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 industries

 “Xin Daizhao, please go with our family.”

Xinyou stood up and walked towards the **** who was waiting for her.

After the **** who delivered the order took Xin You away, several people in the east hall who were waiting for the edict hesitated for a moment, then approached the people in the west hall, asking questions one after another, either directly or tactfully.

 “Is Xin Daizhao easy to get along with?”

“Did Xin Daizhao take a carriage from the eldest princess’s residence when he went to the Yamen yesterday?”

 …

A few people barely managed a few words and almost fled back to the west hall.

　　After a while, the fortune teller sighed, "It's fate."

Ci Daizhao looked aggrieved and recited the poem he had composed last night.

Hand Hua Daizhao stared at the blank rice paper in front of him, thoughtfully: He is good at painting characters, and Xin Daizhao's bones look softer than most men, so he should be more handsome.

"Hua Daizhao, what are you thinking about?" Qi Daizhao asked.

　A few people are accustomed to calling each other by their expertise.

"I think Xin Daizhao should be more handsome." Hua Daizhao blurted out.

 The others all rolled their eyes.

 This man is crazy!

Xinyou followed the **** into the Palace of Qianqing, and when he saw Emperor Xingyuan, he was reading memorials.

 Big and long eyes, black eyebrows, and naturally white skin.

Looking at the eyebrows and eyes that were similar to her own, Xin You couldn't help but think for a moment: She was so similar to this person, and she didn't know if her mother would occasionally have the idea of ​​​​beating her when she looked at her.

 “I have seen your majesty.”

Emperor Xingyuan put down the memorial and invited Xin You to come closer. After looking at it for a while, he asked with a smile: "How are you? Are you still used to being in the Hanlin Academy? Are you still adaptable to the residence?"

 “Everything is fine, Wei Chen.”

Emperor Xingyuan asked a lot of questions, and Sun Yan couldn't listen anymore.

 I never expected that the emperor would be such a verbose person.

 At this moment, the chamberlain reported that Zhang Shoufu wanted to see him.
