I came from heaven [traveling]

Walking into the Lijiao Pavilion, I saw Nangong Muchun sitting on the seat drinking tea. The people under him were already busy preparing for the details of the civil and martial arts exam. The whole courtyard seemed to be in a hurry. The little officials stopped when they saw me and Xu Yangyan. Hearing the sound, Nangong Muchun fumbled to put the teacup on the table, and made a gesture to salute. Xu Yangyan was one step ahead of me and supported her, and said politely: "Nangong priest, don't need to see outside."

Nangong Muchun looked very strange with an embarrassed but polite smile, she waved her hand to signal the little official: "You two adults come to my Ritual Education Pavilion, how can you treat them carelessly, hurry up and prepare tea and treat them."

I waved my hand to stop and let the others go about their business, then walked to the door and closed it. For a moment, there were only the three of us left in the room. Xu Yangyan looked around leisurely, then walked to me and found someone Good excuse: "This is the first time for me to come to this Lijiao Pavilion. I heard that there is a golden book hidden in the tower in the backyard. I want to go in and take a stroll. It won't prevent the two of you from chatting slowly."

Before he had time to react, Xu Yangyan opened the door and fled in the blink of an eye. The atmosphere suddenly became more awkward. I sat on the seat next to me and stared at Nangong Muchun. She seemed to be used to the life after being blind, so she was very comfortable in groping for things. Her sense of hearing became much sharper, she tilted her head towards me, and her tone gradually became cold and bone-chilling:

"Now that you have become a black-collar minister with good reputation and good name, you are blessed by your status as the concubine of the Marquis. This court and harem are all yours, and even His Majesty the Queen depends on your face. You can be regarded as a first-class celebrity. People, I don’t know why Master Ji came to me? To show off his strength or to laugh at how miserable I am?”

Sensing Nangong Muchun's resistance, I raised my eyebrows and smiled, not openly but slightly darkly, and even my shoulders twitched violently, I leaned closer to her face for a closer look, her eyes were terrifying The scars on her face looked extremely tragic, she could feel my breath, and a look of panic appeared on her face, such a familiar look, just like the panic and helplessness when she gouged out her eyes, exactly the same.

I probably left a shadow in her heart that will never go away, she waved her arms wildly trying to push me away, and finally shrank into a ball, questioning with a trembling voice: "Ji Sijie! What do you want to do again?"

At this moment, my compassion made it difficult for me to bear it. I grabbed her arm and suppressed her resistance. The attitudes of the two were in stark contrast. After a moment of silence, I replied: "Calm down, I'm not here The one who took his life is just here to visit you."

Nangong Muchun was afraid but laughed again: "Just to visit? I'm just blind but not stupid. Why do you say it so easily? Besides, what's so good about me being blind?"

Still so smart, I shook her hand away with a smile, explaining why I came here: "Since Governor Nangong said so, I won't waste time making detours. I really want you to do something for me."

"I don't share the sky with you, do you think I will help you?"

I played with the ornaments on the table as a matter of course, and continued: "Of course you will help me, otherwise I have ten thousand ways to make you survive and die in this deep palace. It is too easy to take your life, so many, It's boring, I can torture you slowly, do you think I don't hate you?"

"you!"

"Listen well, I have a secret team. These people need to be included in the guard army. The martial arts test is no problem for them. Now they also have small official positions in the court. Unfortunately, the court is constantly changing. They are slow Not included in the establishment of the Fourth Army Pavilion."

"Your recruitment is a matter of the Fourth Army Pavilion, and has nothing to do with my Confucianism Pavilion."

"Of course it has something to do with it. You know the process of the martial arts test better than I do. I want them to win the best ranking without fail, and enter into the program in a dignified manner."

"Heh, you've become a mess, you're so courageous, you dare to pretend to be public for your own benefit?"

"How can the Nangong priest speak so harshly? The people in my Anbu can lynch people at will anytime and anywhere. If you don't let them go all the way into the army, they can still be at ease under my hands."

"I'm afraid it lacks a name guarantee, isn't it?"

"If you listen to my order, I can protect you safely in front of the priest, if you don't listen..."

"I took the wrong position when I formed a gang, and now you want me to repeat the same mistakes?"

Nangong Muchun's tone became weak, as if she couldn't bear her fault, I pinched her chin and said word by word: "Remember, I am from Tantaiqin, if you are from me , we are always right. It is convenient for officials to protect each other, is this difficult for you?"

After finishing speaking, she stood up and was about to leave. Nangong Muchun was indifferent at first, but finally compromised her dignity. She lowered her voice and responded to me: "I promise you, I will give you preferential treatment for the people in Anbu. In exchange, I just beg you not to bother me again."

"When I married His Majesty, I still expected you to write some shocking and good congratulatory speeches. How can I not disturb you so easily. The governor is busy preparing for the exam, so I will leave first."

With my hands behind my back, I strode out the door with big strides. My unrestrained movement was done in one go. Then I raised my head and stared at Xu Yangyan who was hiding on the corridor beam, and joked: "Is it fun to eavesdrop, come down for me."

Xu Yangyan flew down in front of me, patted the dust on his body, pulled me away from the Lijiao Pavilion, found an empty lawn with no one there, and asked puzzledly: "What are you planning? Why did you suddenly Do you have to be included in the Zhou family brothers?"

I paced back and forth with my chin in my hand, and then raised my eyes to stare at Xu Yangyan: "First, I want to let Nangong Muchun know that I will always be haunted. She will live in my shadow for the rest of her life, making her suffer, which is the basis for her to pay off her debts;

Secondly, enlisting the brothers of the Zhou family is a guarantee. After all, they gave up going back to the Junnan Kingdom to reunite with their families, and followed me with all their heart.

Thirdly, I have to win over Nangong Muchun because of this matter. Although she is blind, she has a good brain. Now that I am a black-collar minister, her existence is very important to plan interests. "

Xu Yangyan stared with admiration: "Man, it's terrible to change your temper. You said that you were a guy who only knew how to eat white steamed buns, but now you are really smart. You have to think everything through."

"Do you think I'm willing? This is just the beginning. Who knows what the Daxuan court will look like in the future. The royal family's vitality is greatly damaged, and the princes who are the same generation as the queen are all underage. I have to hurry Cast your net well."

"Ji Sijie, do you know what you look like now?"

I stared at Xu Yangyan in doubt, and shook my head in confusion: "What does it look like?"

"It's especially like the courtiers in ancient costume TV dramas who plan to plot evil and cover up the sky with one hand."

"Bah, have you ever seen a traitor who runs errands and forms gangs everywhere?"

......

After we separated from Xu Yangyan, I didn't go back directly to the Rihuiyue Studio, presumably Tantaiqin was still dealing with government affairs, so I simply went directly to the office hall to say hello.When Eunuch Zhou saw me coming, his fat face wrinkled with a smile: "Master Ji, you are here."

"Is Your Majesty still busy?"

"That's right, Your Majesty said, you don't need to ask to see her, just go in, she has been waiting for you."

"Okay, please ask your father-in-law to lead me in."

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this winding corridor. I used to walk through it with trepidation, fearing that His Majesty the Emperor would make things difficult for me, but every time I saved the danger for the old man, staring sideways at the trees at the entrance of the hall, and burying mercury by myself. The memory is still fresh.

Eunuch Zhou stooped slightly and trotted in. I followed behind him unhurriedly until Tantaiqin's figure fell into my eyes. Eunuch whispered a few words beside her, and then Retiring away wisely, he even closed the heavy door of the hall.

Tantaiqin was sitting in front of the big table, put down the pen in her hand and made a gesture to get up and walk towards me, I shook my head to stop her, and walked closer to her on my own.Across the table, I stood upright and bowed: "Your Majesty."

Tantaiqin tilted her head, without the majesty of a king, she just became a little woman, patted the seat beside her and motioned for me to sit over: "What are you doing standing there stupidly, sit next to the venerable, let the venerable Let's take a look at how pretty the future emperor's husband will look in his official uniform."

I put my hands on the table, pouted and shook my head: "There are differences between monarchs and ministers, but we can't sit on the same footing everywhere. This is the place to deal with state affairs. It's very serious, but we can't love each other."

Seeing that I didn't follow, Tantaiqin had no choice but to get up and walk to my side, raising his hand to smooth my wrinkled official uniform: "When the late emperor was in power, he handled state affairs while hugging his beloved concubine. I will imitate it once. Isn’t it okay? Besides, you run away as soon as you retreat, look at your mess, no one wears official uniforms crumpled.”

I tapped the tip of Tantai Qin's nose, and said seriously: "It was wrong for His Majesty the late emperor to do that. The ministers dare not speak out, and that would be adding to the wrong. Qin'er...no...Your Majesty the Empress I can't imitate it even once, and it is also my duty to supervise His Majesty."

"It's really on the outline and on the line, and it's a set of words. What if the respect doesn't listen?"

"Then Your Majesty... what do you want to do?"

As soon as I finished asking, Tantai Qin put his arms around my neck, his tone sounded like a complaining woman: "Ever since Esprit came back from Jun Nanguo, I haven't been intimate with Zun even once, could it be that you change your mind when you say you change your mind? "

Tantai Qin kept talking, and also refused to stop the movements of her hands. She untied the belt of her official uniform, and for a moment the long robe was loosely carried on my body. Her hands were like little snakes that came and went freely. Wearing the inner liner and moving around my waist, I looked down at the indescribable scene in front of me. This annoying little goblin took the opportunity to kiss my ear, and teased:

"I really miss the appearance of Sijie's daughter, and in that wild cave, you are more powerful than the current respect..."
