Eight hundred and fiftieth eight chapters rosemary
The entire yard here is planted with plants, and even a few wooden racks are placed in the living room, with colorful potted plants on it. Guo Shao sat down and smelled the colorful fragrance of flowers and plants and the scent of tranquility.
But this time he really has no leisure time, and his physical discomfort will affect his mood.
At this moment, a little girl came up with a glass cup. Guo Shao almost recognized that the little girl was Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo's shaved hair was already long to her shoulders, and it was too short to comb it. She braided some braids, which looked a little more lively and pretty. She was wearing a pan-collar silk Hanfu and her breasts gradually bulged.
"Your Majesty, you have a cup of tea." Xiao Chuo said carefully, looking flattering.
Guo Shao didn't say anything, took off his hat and placed it on the table, revealing a bald head, sitting there unscrupulously, looking at Xiao Chuo with a complicated expression. Xiao Chuo quietly glanced at his head, his face turned red, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
The culprit is this woman's father! Guo Shao felt angry when he thought of Xiao Siwen. He had some knowledge of this enemy before, but this guy was too despicable... He shed so much blood under the storm, but the mastermind behind him was still prosperous and wealthy.
Guo Shao said casually: "Xiao Siwen seems to be completely unremembering his daughter is still in my hands."
After hearing this, Xiao Chuo showed fear and buried his head.
Lu Lan also came over and bowed her knees slightly to Guo Shao. Guo Shao pointed to the rattan chair opposite, "Please sit down, Mrs. Lu."
Lu Lan glanced at Guo Shao's bald head and said softly: "At that time, you will shave your Majesty's hair, and the imperial doctors all objected. Your Majesty will not blame me?"
The ancients regarded hair as important, but Guo Shao had no idea at all and said casually, "Life is important, and hair can grow."
Lu Lan smiled and said, "I know that Your Majesty is not a secular person."
Guo Shao reached out to play with the crystal glass cup. Although the person who brought it up was a Khitan girl, he still trusted Lu Lan here. Looking at the thin green leaves and white flowers floating in the water, the leaves seemed to be lips, and the shape was a bit strange, so he asked, "What kind of flower is this?"
Lu Lan replied softly: "Rosemary."
"Oh." Guo Shao nodded, not continuing to talk, obviously he was not interested. He moved his body and said seriously, "Miss Lu, he will treat me, I will thank you today. Whatever you want, as long as I can do my best."
When Lu Lan heard this, her face felt a little disappointed. She pursed her lips and made a subtle movement. There seemed to be fine pearl powder in the rouge, and the sunlight leaking between the flowers and plants was shining with a delicate luster. Inadvertently, Guo Shao felt that the lip-like grass leaves in the crystal glass seemed to have some connection.
She turned and smiled again, turned to look at Xiao Chuo and said, "My mother asked Yanyan to come and serve tea, and wanted to ask Your Majesty to forgive her. As long as she did not hurt her life, I don't know Your Majesty..."
Although Guo Shao was angry with what Xiao Siwen did, he had no idea of venting his anger on Xiao Chuo. If he took revenge on a young lady, he would seem a little incompetent! The key is that it would be useless.
"I promised you." Guo Shao said without hesitation.
He thought again that sometimes women were more conscientious than men. Xiao Siwen snatched Bai's family, causing her family to be destroyed. Bai's family still wanted to protect Xiao Siwen's daughter; perhaps when he was in Liao, Bai had some feelings for this child.
After hearing this, Lu Lan said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty treats me, and he will always answer all your requests."
Guo Shao pretended to be calm and said, "It's just a small matter."
...The eunuch Wang Zhong was waiting for Guo Shao outside the door boredly, and Li Yueji stood there not far away without leaving.
Wang Zhong looked at it a few times, and finally walked over and answered Li Yueji: "The Empress Xianfei is not going back yet, what are you doing here?"
Li Yueji used to look down on such eunuchs who were neither male nor female, but after staying in Daxu Palace for so long, she seemed to be less arrogant. She also responded: "I want to talk to the officials."
Wang Zhong frowned and said, "What's there to talk about? If the official wants to see you, you don't have to bother you here."
Li Yueji heard a humiliating red on her face, "I don't want to bother with the officials, but I am the virtuous concubine of the Daxu royal family."
Wang Zhong sneered and looked at Li Yueji up and down, as if he remembered the ungrateful woman who used to treat him as a slave and didn't even look at him. He looked around and whispered: "I don't know how long will your name be like a virtuous concubine!"
After hearing this, Li Yueji frowned and said nothing.
Wang Zhong whispered again: "Miss Lu has helped Your Majesty so many things, and recently made great contributions to rescue the emperor. If a man wants to be a marquis and prime minister, he will be ranked as the third duke. Unfortunately, Miss Lu is the daughter of a daughter... She can only be rewarded with the title of a concubine. Now there is a queen and four ladies in the Daxu Palace. Where can I still have a place? Unless one is replaced..."
After he said that, he looked at Li Yueji with some teasing thoughts.
Li Yueji's face turned pale when she heard this, and Wang Zhong looked at her body with hair. In fact, she didn't care much about the reputation of Daxu's harem. After all, the little girl who was born rich is also a Dangxiang person, but... if she is not even an imperial concubine, can she still help her father who was arrested for rebellion?
Li Yueji looked down on Wang Zhong in her heart, but she had to think that the eunuch said it very well. If she wanted to change the position of Lady Lu, she, the daughter of a criminal who lost power, was the most suitable candidate.
She glanced at the door of the yard and felt very upset.
...At this time, Zhou Xian was also upset and angry.
Zhou Xian looked at the box of jewelry in front of him and said coldly: "Madam Zhou, I can't help you!"
The woman standing was Zhou Duan's wife Wang. Zhou Duan was from the Zhou family. Because of Zhou Xian, she defected to Guo Shao very early and served as the chief secretary in Xuzhou.
Wang's Lihua said with rain: "My husband really did not participate in the affairs of affair with the Zhao family. However, those officials were filial to all year round, and they offended others if they did not accept them! The husband had no choice but to repay Zuo Guanzheng's kindness during festivals... Before that, the husband didn't know that the officials in Xuzhou were so bold to commit big crimes, otherwise they would not dare to accept them no matter what!"
Zhou Xian said coldly: "Then why don't you look for Zuo You? How can I manage the affairs of the officialdom?"
Wang choked up and said, "The Zuo Auxiliary is unable to protect himself now, and I also want my wife to have the opportunity to help her talk. It is not Zuo Auxiliary who is in charge of the case, but Huang Auxiliary (Huang Binglian) and the Privy Council."
Zhou Xian became even more angry after hearing this. He immediately took down the things on his head and wrist and put them in the box on the spot, and pushed forward: "Take them all back!"
"Madam, please!" Wang fell to the ground, "My husband is finally your family. If he is ruined, it will not be good for his wife's reputation and status..."
Zhou Xian said: "You take away the things first. Now you have checked in and out of the palace carefully. What did you take in and what did you take? The eunuchs can clearly understand. How dare I accept them?"
There seemed to be some room for this sentence, and Wang stopped crying, thanked him for his gratitude and pleaded with kind words.
Wang promised to take back the jewelry he brought in today, but did not accept the ones he had given before. Zhou Xian was angry and blurted out that the things came from unknown and that they were dirty when worn, which made Wang feel ashamed of shame.
After finally sending Wang away, Zhou Xian was still irritable and uneasy. Zhou Xian looked down on his cousin Chen Jiali in his heart, thinking that Chen Jiali was pretentious and arrogant, but in fact she was just a bitch who stood up in the archway! Has she become the kind of person she looked down upon? She thought a lot of random thoughts, thinking that Guo Shao would sooner or later know about this, and she was still afraid that Guo Shao would be looked down upon.
...Guo Shao returned to Wansui Hall from Lu Lan's residence and saw the eunuch Yang Shiliang standing at the door. He turned around and waved to Yang Shiliang. Yang Shiliang followed him in, whispering a few words in Guo Shao's ear.
After hearing this, Guo Shao sat on the chair and thought for a while, then said, "Ehuang is a noble person and is not a person who wants to be outside of his body. However, her cousin Chen Jiali is rich enough to rival a country. Every time she comes to the palace, she wears very rare jewelry and never repeats itself."
"Your Majesty is wise." Yang Shiliang said.
"Transfer the order to the inner treasury, pick a few good jewelry and give it to Ehuang for me." Guo Shao simply handled this matter.
"Abide by the order." Yang Shiliang bowed, and after a moment, he said quietly, "This matter has little to do with Mrs. Zhou, but Xu Governor Shi Zhou Duan..."
Guo Shao said: "Aren't Wang Pu and Huang Binglian doing it?"
"Yes, yes." Yang Shiliang responded.
Guo Shao rubbed his head wearing a bull-headed head and felt that this matter was a bit complicated... If Zhou Duan had fallen, it would be very likely to involve Zuo You. Because Zhou Duan and Zuo You had a long time ago, Guo Shao could think of it with his toes that if Zhou Duan accepted a bribe, he would definitely share it with Zuo You, who is in the center of power...
This is very common in the officialdom, and there is nothing wrong with it. But once something big happens, it will be pulled out.
Guo Shao could not confirm what was going on in the middle, but based on his years of understanding of Zuo You, he felt that Zuo You was unlucky this time... Luo Yanhuan looked for him and made him feel fishy, but it was very likely that Zuo You did not want to take the initiative to get involved with Luo Yanhuan; he usually collected Zhou Duan's money, and Zuo You, who has been in Tokyo, probably couldn't figure out where the money came from.
There was also a jade pen on the table. Guo Shao took it off from the pen holder, dipped it back and forth on the inkstone, and wrote Hu paintings on the paper. Some people's names and some connections are made with circles.
Guo Shao did not want to interfere in the case, but now it seems that Zhou Duan may have fallen, and Zuo You will not be beaten to the end... After all, to move the cabinet to assist in the government, Guo Shao must nod.
The twists and turns inside seem to never be able to tell them clearly, but they can't be dealt with anyway. Guo Shao looked at the large picture on the wall and looked at the wider places. The blanks at the edges of the pictures and the further away places, and he didn't feel that he should be completely tied to the thorns under his feet.
He always feels less momentum when he is using his own people. What Guo Shao is most concerned about is Xiao Siwen's guy
