Si Tian Guan - Chapter 162
As usual, the emperor is still in Qingxinju to call the song Shenzhou to go to divination.
There are rules for walking, sitting and lying in the palace. He walks carefully, but his pace is very slow. Mammy is very strict.”
His voice was gentle and careful, like a small beast that could be frightened at any time, and Eunuch Shi couldn’t help but laugh.
“Qu Sitian’s time in the palace is still short, so it’s understandable that he can’t learn the rules. The emperor is very kind to you, so Qu Sitian doesn’t have to be so restrained.”
As if he didn’t hear the meaning of encouraging him to be arrogant, Qu Chenzhou carefully counted his steps, and stood tired before he walked too far.
“Eunuch Shi,” he asked cautiously and softly, “Where have all the Sitian officials before me… gone?”
Eunuch Shi smiled and looked at him for a while before saying, “Qu Sitian, don’t be afraid, since you have the emperor’s support, you will never die like them, without a corpse.”
Qu Chenzhou stopped talking, looked at the time, did not dare to delay any longer, and rushed all the way to Qingxinju.
The room was quiet, Yu Dexi was standing by the side, waiting for Emperor Yu to look at the letter.
Don’t look up, he also knows that it is a flower and grass note for the nymphs a few days ago, in duplicate, written by him, one in the hands of the ladies, the other Send it to the emperor.
Qu Chenzhou stood beside the beaded curtain with his hands down, listening to the sound of the flower and grass paper being gently flipped, it took a long time to say hello.
“Come here.”
He walked over and knelt down before the steps.
Then Emperor Yu raised his eyes and said with a smile: “I asked you to come and read the paper, why can’t I get rid of the problem of kneeling at every turn? It’s fortunate that Mother Chen said that you learn the rules quickly.”
“Yes.” Qu Chenzhou stood up: “I keep this in mind.”
These days, Emperor Yu also knows his habit of being cautious and less talkative, and seeing more frizzy children of this age, he likes such a smart one, and knows when to shut up quietly.
“Qingru’s hexagram, what does ‘cloud cover the moon’ mean?”
“The emperor forgives your sins,” Qu Chenzhou’s voice was soft: “I can’t think of any clues.”
“The timing of this hexagram is coincidental, and it should be on the child. Although Qingru didn’t say anything, I could see that she was worried and wronged, and even the passing of the imperial doctor also scared her.”
“Chen…I will go to the Empress’ Palace to apologize later…”
Emperor Yu waved his hand: “How can I blame you? If there is something wrong, you are a warning in advance, and Qingru should thank you.”
“I dare not…”
The Emperor Yu looked at him, picked up another copy, brushed off the flowers and grasses, and smiled like a smile: “March peach leaves branches, sinking boat.”
Qu Shenzhou hurriedly straightened his body, cupped his hands and said, “The emperor ordered.”
“Do you know who is the son of Concubine Ming?”
“Yes… Prince Qi.”
Emperor Yu nodded: “I haven’t figured out things for so long, but I let you make up your mind, you are so bold.”
“Your Majesty spare your life… Your Majesty spare your life…”
“Huh?” Emperor Yu put down the letterhead and looked down at him: “Why do you ask me for mercy? Do you know what crime you committed?”
Qu Chenzhou trembled for a moment, then wept in a low voice: “I don’t know what crime I have committed… I can only tell divination, and only speak what I see. They taught me to say The minister knows it’s wrong, but the minister doesn’t know, it just looks like the emperor is angry…”
“Who are they?”
“Mother Chen said, if the emperor is angry…” It’s okay not to ask, under this question, his tears rolled down: “If you are angry, I should say that the minister knows Wrong, ministers deserve ten thousand death.”
Yu Emperor suddenly burst into laughter, so much that Qu Chenzhou couldn’t stop crying.
“Shen Zhou,” Emperor Yu almost burst into tears: “I didn’t believe it before, there is no one in this world who doesn’t lie, it turns out I was wrong. You child, you are sincere and honest. Really cute.”
Qu Chenzhou raised his head blankly, the tears still wet on his face.
“Do you still remember, half a month ago, you foretold a hexagram for me, saying ‘sprinkle salt to make snow gold mountains fall’,” Emperor Yu asked him: “Do you know that it will be fulfilled? where?”
Qu Shenzhou shook his head.
Emperor Yu didn’t explain it for him, he just said: “Get up, I know you can only read divination, and you don’t have any heart. What’s the panic, I don’t even remember to say it as a ‘minister’, ‘I’ come, ‘I’ go, Mammy Chen should watch you more and learn the rules.”
Qu Chenzhou did not get up, took a few steps forward on his knees, and whispered: “Your Majesty, I…I want to ask the Emperor for something.”
Emperor Yu looked at him sideways, and sneered: “I am generous to you, but you will have to make an inch.”
“Your Majesty… Forgive…”
“Forget it, go ahead.”
Qu Chenzhou kowtowed, with a crying voice in his voice: “If the minister makes the emperor unhappy one day, I also ask the emperor to leave a whole body for the minister.”
“What are you talking about?” Yu Di’s face turned cold: “Who is talking nonsense to you?”
Even Yu Dexi looked over and asked, “What did Qu Sitian say?”
Qu Chenzhou didn’t seem to dare to say it, and didn’t dare not to say it, and after a while he said softly: “They said that the Sitian officials before me… all died without a body, let me be more careful. .”
“Who are they?”
“It’s… Eunuch Shi.”
Yu Dexi looked at Emperor Yu’s eyes, turned to go out, someone in the distance seemed to make a shrill scream, turned back a moment later, and nodded.
Emperor Yu’s gaze stayed on the Huacaojian for a moment, and suddenly he spat at Qu Chenzhou.
“You straighten my waist!”
Qu Shenzhou is still obedient and straightens his back.
“You are also the Sitianguan, the second-rank official, who was appointed by me! Look at your current appearance! All cats and dogs are bullying you! Don’t cry, I will support you in everything !”
Yu Dexi hurried forward: “Your Majesty, Qu Sitian is still young after all.”
Of course Emperor Yu knew, and couldn’t help but sighed.
“I heard that you were having trouble with Qingru and Chongming a few days ago?”
Qu Chenzhou’s just straight shoulders collapsed again: “I know it’s wrong…”
“I asked you if you were wrong, what’s wrong!”
“The minister knows,” he answered this time: “The minister couldn’t hold back, the minister replied, the minister should not contradict the concubine and the prince.”
“Stand up! Straighten your waist!” Emperor Yu scolded him: “Next time I see you so dejected, I will hit you with twenty court sticks first! Give you a long memory!”
Qu Chenzhou stood up silently, listening to Emperor Yu sneer for a while.
“Still ‘can’t hold back’? You have a straight-forward temperament, no wonder it’s not pleasing to Chongming. He is young and has a bad temper. He likes to hear nice things.
“You and him, I’ll just be a child arguing, I’ll tell him later, you can’t care about it!”
“You are too presumptuous just to deal with Qingru. She has a soft temperament and is not good at arguing with others, but she loves Chongming and has a heart to say something about you.”
“Although Qingru didn’t argue with you, she always tolerates her grievances. Now that she has a body, she shouldn’t be sulking.”
“I heard the Queen say that your mouth is also poisonous, did you pretend to be so clever in front of me, and rely on me to spoil you when you go out, and even Qingru dares to contradict? It’s time to fight. “
Qu Chenzhou lowered his head and replied weakly: “I dare not…just…”
“Just what? Have you learned sophistry?” Emperor Yu scolded him: “I miss you at a young age, from a difficult background, and if you make a mistake for the first time, I will forgive you this time. By the way, admit Qing Ru’s mistake and ask her for forgiveness.”
“Yes…”
Qu Chenzhou replied softly, seeing Emperor Yu leaning on the soft pillow, he didn’t speak for a long time, and was about to withdraw when he saw Emperor Yu raising his eyes again.
“Yu Dexi, go get that for him.”
Yu Dexi bowed and went out. After a while, he brought someone back with a tray. The satin was lifted, and a sandalwood jacket was stacked inside, and the patterns of gold embroidery were intertwined.
Qu Shenzhou’s heart jumped.
Yu Dexi stepped forward, unfolded the robe embroidered with gold silk in front of him, and served him to put it on in person. looks.”
“How?” Emperor Yu looked at him with a smile: “How about this dress? Do you like it?”
“Looks good, love it.”
Qu Chenzhou pinched his cuffs. In the past, he only got such a thing with blood on his hands, but this time he got it so easily.
Old things meet again, my heart is mixed, but my face is very happy, I bow my head and say shyly: “It’s… yes, it’s a bit long…”
Emperor Yu laughed again.
“Shen Zhou, I haven’t been so happy for a long time. The clothes are a little long, and I planned to give them to you when you grow up and become more stable. You are pitiful now, Wear it first, and Yu Dexi will tailor one for you later.”
Yu Dexi smiled, smoothed the collar, and said with a smile: “Qu Sitian, this dress is not only beautiful, it is called Xuanmang woven golden clothes, but it is the grace of the emperor.”
Qu Chenzhou repeated blankly: “Xuanmang weaving golden clothes…”
“You are young and you are promoted hastily, and there will be a lot of impeachments in the court.” Emperor Yu rarely thought to explain a few more words: “This shirt is given to you, and you are a teacher of the same country.”
Yu Dexi was afraid that he would not understand, and added: “Don’t say that he is the prince, even if he meets Hou Ye, Lin Xiang and Tang Shizhong, Qu Sitian can also sit on an equal footing, no need to bow.”
Qu Chenzhou was about to kneel down to give thanks, but was stopped by Emperor Yu’s eyes.
“This is the courage I gave you, stand up, don’t lose my face outside, cry and cry. But if you let me know that you are pampered and arrogant outside, It’s rampant, but I can’t forgive you lightly!”
“I dare not.”
“You dare to talk back to Qingru, and you dare not?” Emperor Yu scolded him with a laugh, and then ordered: “Yu Dexi, the people of Guanxing Pavilion should not take turns, let Shen The boat will pick people by himself. In the future, Shen Zhou will take care of the inside and outside of the Guanxing Pavilion. Shen Zhou!”
“I am here.”
“If you have time, ask for advice from Yu Dexi and Bo Yan, and learn to manage your own people. You are young, but since you are already in this position, you can set the air for me.”
As if joking, Emperor Yu smiled again: “Next time Chongming talks to you again, even if you kick him, he will have to suffer.”
Qu Shenzhou bowed down.
“I will do my best to live up to the emperor’s entrustment.”
“Come on,” Emperor Yu waved his hand: “When you go to Qingru’s place to plead guilty, take off this clothes, so that Qingru will not have to worry too much.”
The bead curtains closed, and the swaying gradually stopped, closing the gap where people left.
Then Emperor Yu picked up the flower and grass paper on the table, looked at the hexagram of the March peach, and asked, “Yu Dexi, what do you think?”
Yu Dexi hurriedly bowed his head and said: “This world is the emperor’s world, all the people are the emperor’s children, life and death advance and retreat are holy will, slaves do not know.”
Yu Di leaned aside, brushed the flower and grass paper with his fingers, and laughed to himself.
“It’s really a straight-faced newborn calf, and it’s really cute.”
“Jing Yan!”
Concubine Yu didn’t even pretend to be sick when she saw the person coming, she dragged her son’s sleeves and begged.
“Come on, come up with an idea! Since the emperor has the first time, he will call that Qu Sitian to do divination in the future. I can’t get sick every time.”
“Fortunately I didn’t go this time. This calamity fell to Mu Jingde. What should I do next time!”
Mu Jingyan drew back his sleeves and carefully picked up the soup bowls on the table.
“Drink some medicine, I’ll get better soon, don’t worry my son.”
Fei Yu had no choice but to drink the medicine first, and wanted to ask again, but she lost the courage.
“I heard,” this time, Mu Jingyan spoke first: “Qu Sitian does have some skills, over the past two months, the royal father has convinced him, not in the past. Those nerds can compare.”
Concubine Yu spit out her worries: “Yeah, I heard that his hexagrams for Concubine Concubine and Concubine Ming have something to say, and it works, what can I do?”
“Efficacy?” Mu Jingyan sat down in front of the tea stove, shook his fan gently, and sneered: “Where did the concubine know that he has the effect?”
Concubine Yu froze for a moment: “Even the emperor believes it, and at the palace banquet…”
“Is the mother-in-law entering the palace on the first day? The emperor wants to support him, but it’s just a show on the stage. Is the mother-in-law really serious?”
Concubine Yu couldn’t help but feel uneasy, but she was uneasy and could only try to persuade her son.
“But you see… his entry into the palace is also strange. Mu Jingchen said that he said very early that he asked Mu Jingchen to rescue him on the first day of November. How should this be explained?”
Speaking of this, Mu Jingyan stopped the fan.
This made Concubine Yu raise her heart even more: “Jing Yan, what’s the matter?”
“The concubine may not know, he also begged me to save him.”
Mu Jingyan stared at the flames in the tea stove.
“I want to know who he is more than his deceitful tricks.”
