Atypical Heroine - Chapter 71
Xie Huairou’s face was white and she said nothing.
The queen’s husband, how could she be the same woman. Her words…
Dayan iron law, direct relatives cannot be officials of the same dynasty. If she wants to enter the palace, she has to take off her official robe as the prime minister.
Ji Yu thought about this, sighed helplessly and said, “Okay, I will think twice.”
In the end, Ji Yu followed Xie Huairou’s proposal to attach importance to the defense of the Forbidden Palace, and changed the original more casual patrol route and handover time to a more strict and careful arrangement.
There are only two days a month when Ji Yu stays at Tai Chi Hall to handle government affairs.
The guards outside the palace for those two days were basically fake.
In the Taiji Hall, the Empress retreated to the left and right, and did not see her foreign ministers. On that day, she was diligent and diligent throughout the night under the care of candlelight. In Xie Huairou’s mansion, there will be a female official who comes to visit.
—
Ji Yu was dressed in a female official uniform with two jugs of wine in his hands, and before he even knocked on the door, Xie Huairou greeted him and led him into the house. Xie Huairou’s tone was helpless, “Your Majesty, this minister has said it many times, it’s really not safe at night.”
“Understood,” Ji Yu nodded and smiled, “come earlier next time.”
“…”
Xie Huairou persuaded her to return. In fact, she was looking forward to her unsolicited visits from the bottom of her heart.
“Where’s the wine?” She looked at the wine jar in Ji Yu’s hand, “Your Majesty has detoured to another place before?”
“The wine was brought to me by my aunt, milk goat wine. I heard that the king of the grasslands can’t drink a few jars of precious things.”
“Hey,” Ji Yu looked at the maid who was walking in the distance, curled his lips, held her hand and leaned over, and said in a low voice, “Master Xie, what did you forget to call me outside the palace?”
“…Yuan Yu.”
Xie Huairou was silent until her waist was itchingly pinched by her, then her earlobes reddened, and she said to the maid without changing her face, “Take the wine and warm it up, and bring the tea first.”
“Knowing that Mianmian-sama is coming, tea has already been prepared.”
The maid Xiaohong smiled brightly. Although Xie Huairou repeatedly asked her to be a distinguished guest, Ji Yu was too gentle with them, which caused these little maids to respect her and not alienate her, “When will you drink the wine? I’m afraid it will take a long time. sour.”
“Go warm now.”
Ji Yu handed the jug to her with a smile, took out a ball of brocade from his arms, and handed it to her, “I fell in love with this at a glance at the overnight market. You can give it to Xiaohong, and it’s not worth it for me to go around for a long time. road.”
“Beautiful earrings,” Xiaohong said flatteringly when she opened the brocade, and the earrings made of shells and pearls were wrapped inside, she said flattered, “but they look so precious. “
She hurriedly looked at Xie Huairou.
“It’s okay,” Ji Yu smiled, raised his hand to caress the lacquered sarong crown on the top of his hair, and said warmly, “beads with beautiful women are pleasing to the eyes, and the little red girl is willing to wear them, it is a supreme honor. “
Xiaohong pursed her lips to hold back her smile and put it on happily, “Does it look good?”
“It’s so beautiful, it shines brightly,” Ji Yu said in an extremely sincere tone, “This bead has really touched the light of Little Red Girl.”
Xiaohong was coaxed so hard that she couldn’t close her mouth. On a whim, she turned her head and asked her master with a smile, “What do you think?”
Xie Huairou “…”
“Uh…”
Xiaohong was shocked by the cold face of her master, she quickly said she was going to warm the wine, and immediately retired with two jars of wine.
“Why is your lord so stern?” Ji Yu looked at Xiaohong’s back as she left, and said quietly, “You are so fierce, she shouldn’t dare to accept my gift next time.”
“She shouldn’t have taken it,” Xie Huairou said solemnly, “If you can take pearls and hairpins today, tomorrow you will dare to take those gold and silver jewelry from property deeds and land deeds that are intended to be bribed by the ministers. ”
“Eh, that’s not what you said.”
Seeing her serious face, Ji Yu hurriedly grabbed her, pulled down her big sleeves and held her hand, “Xiaohong is seeing you and I are close, and in front of you, besides this little thing, she It’s all about accepting it first if you don’t object.”
Ji Yu “If you don’t allow her to accept it, she will never dare to accept it next time.”
“I don’t dare,” Xie Huairou said with her hands down as she held her hand, “I’m afraid to disturb Yaxing when I see her so happy.”
“…”
If Ji Yu couldn’t hear what she meant, she would not be Ji Yu anymore.
Pressing the corners of her lips, she bent her eyes and smiled silently, “Speaking of Yaxing, I don’t know about other people’s Yaxing, but my Yaxing just drinks with my sister.”
Xie Huairou reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips, “Before the wine warms up, Your Majesty should drink two sips of tea.”
“You think you’re tricking me into drinking enough tea, so that I won’t be able to drink after a while? My sister is so naive, I would hug me to sleep before I finish drinking the two jars, and I have to take two more sips in my dreams.”
“it is good…”
“Um.”
—
□□ Under the banyan tree, there is a warm wine stove, a pot of wine among the flowers, the moonlight casts shattered light spots through the lush green leaves, swaying gently in the wind, and the wooden case is followed by a leaf that slowly falls.
Xie Huairou screened the maid beside her.
“Fukang County Master returned to Beijing this time, what else did he bring to His Majesty?”
“Yes,” Ji Yu said absentmindedly, staring at the slowly warming wine, “there are a lot of other things, and there are also gadgets suitable for my sister to play with, but it’s just a little heavy, today. I didn’t mention it…Is it okay to drink?”
Xie Huairou turned on the small red clay stove, poured warm wine into the pot first, and then poured it into her cup, “Thanks for your kindness, Your Majesty, is there… anything new?”
She is a temptation, Ji Yu’s aunt Fukang County Master is a well-known woman. She has never been married in her life. There are countless handsome male pets in the princess’s house. Her greatest interest is to travel the world with guards and meet handsome men. It was a spring breeze with it.
On the day Ji Yu met her, she returned to Beijing and gave her two big boxes of gifts, half of which were secrets of sexual **** and some indescribable picture books.
“…”
Ji Yu held the wine cup in both hands, tasted the taste slowly, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
This wine is a well-deserved spirit. The tenderest and thinnest skin of the milk sheep is soaked in rice wine, and then fermented for several months. All kinds of spices need to be added inside, the entrance is spicy and soft, half a cup can make people dizzy.
Looking at Xie Huairou’s expression, she remembered the past, the curvature of her lips gradually became wider, and her eyes also laughed into a curved seam.
“Don’t worry, sister, my aunt really didn’t send anything strange this time.”
She had just reached her aunt at that time and received a gift from her aunt. She pretended not to understand, and deliberately copied the carefully selected lewd poems on paper and took it to ask Xie Huairou what it meant.
She couldn’t hold back the embarrassed look on her face.
He was still able to pretend to be calm and distorted the facts to tell her what he meant.
Ji Yu laughed about this for half a month, and he laughed as soon as he remembered it.
“…”
“Sister, try this wine,” Ji Yu raised his sleeves and filled her with wine himself, “This meat wine is very different from the one we have here, but it is somewhat similar to the Bingyu burnt in Nanning, of course, both are A rare nectar.”
Xie Huairou raised her glass and tasted it, listening to the name of the wine, and seeing her expression of drinking without changing her face, she thought it was sweet wine.
He choked his cheeks unpreparedly, “Cough cough…”
Ji Yu was stunned, and hurriedly put down the wine cup and patted her on the back.
“Sister drink slowly,” she pursed her lips and smiled, “so afraid that I will sleep with the wine jar in my arms tonight?”
Xie Huairou frowned slightly, looked down at the wine in the glass, and said seriously, “This wine is very strong, don’t drink too much.”
I’m afraid she really wants to drink all the two jars of wine, tasting wine to cheer her up, and the spirits will hurt her.
“No problem,” Ji Yu recalled what happened this morning. “The new minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Qiyu, who has just been transferred from Nanyu, do you have an impression of my sister? I like her newly compiled “Jiu Jing” I didn’t expect people to be so serious.”
“I have an impression,” Xie Huairou nodded and said with a smile, “Cao Qiyu once lived with Chen as a classmate.”
Ji Yu’s interest was immediately turned around, and she seldom said anything about herself, “Oh? Did Cao Qiyu also come from Danqing School? Is your sister on good terms with her?”
Danqing School is a school for girls established in the previous dynasty.
There are gentry children as well as poor families. They eat the same food, and have the same bed and bed.
Xie Huairou shook her head with a light smile. After a few glasses of wine, she finally stopped calling herself a minister.
“She is the noble daughter of the Cao family and has many playmates. At that time, I only knew how to study hard, but I only heard a little about her.”
To my former classmates, I only heard a little about it.
Ji Yu couldn’t help laughing, took a sip of wine, and asked, “Does that sister have other friends in Danqing Academy?”
Xie Huairou shook her head honestly, “No.”
Ji Yu “Pfft.”
Xie Huairou “…”
Ji Yu straightened his expression and said in a serious tone, “It’s nothing, I just think… I think my sister will definitely concentrate on her studies and excel in her studies.”
“Shang Ke,” Xie Huairou was obviously not so good at controlling expressions after drinking, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, “that is to say, always taking armor and so on, almost never ranked second.”
almost never?
Ji Yu smiled curiously when he heard the words, “That elder sister also won the second place?”
The smile on Xie Huairou’s lips narrowed, she lowered her eyes and drank, and said a little dully, “In the study of classics, the master also needs to read calligraphy, and Cao Qiyu often comes first.”
“I see,” Ji Yu said, “my sister is the first female champion in the dynasty.”
Xie Huairou thought of something, nodded slightly and said, “Actually, there are many talented girls in the school, but if women enter the office, they will not be able to marry a high-ranking man, so they just study a little and finish their schoolwork. That’s all.”
Ji Yu had indeed heard of it, so the female officials with the best classes in the school around her were basically from poor families.
She pondered for a while, “Don’t talk about this tonight, let’s talk about it another day.”
Ji Yu thought of the rumors about Danqing Academy that he had heard when he was a child.
“I heard that every Tanabata Festival, fragrant roast chicken will appear under the seventh banyan tree in front of the academy? But is it true?”
“Well…” Xie Huairou frowned and said seriously after thinking for a while, “I’ve heard of it, and some classmates said it’s true, but…”
Needless to say the second half.
Ji Yu understood immediately, her eyes curved like crescent moons, “My sister is busy with her studies, so naturally she doesn’t hear anything outside the window.” She raised her glass and said, “Yuan Yu admires it.”
Xie Huairou “…”
She was already half drunk, so she couldn’t help but put down her cup to chat with her, and smiled helplessly, “Stop teasing the minister.” The website has been changed, the website has been changed, the website has been changed, everyone re-collects the new website, the new computer version, everyone After collecting it, it will be opened at the new website, and the old website will not be able to be opened in the future.
