"It can be seen that Your Majesty has great trust in Mr. Zhao." Xiao Tian looked strange.
The empress said: "Although that servant is a little arrogant, he is still very capable of doing things. The reason why I was able to successfully deal with the threat of the Chen family, Eunuch Zhao should be the first to contribute."
"The common people are also willing to contribute to His Majesty's grand cause." Xiao Tian knelt down solemnly.
The empress raised her eyebrows, thinking that she was asking for an official position, and then said: "I have always believed in Mr. Xiao's talent. Now that you have entered the capital, I will make an exception and canonize you as a fifth-grade Qingqi Lang."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
Xiao Tian was overjoyed.
When he first arrived, he served as the foreign affairs officer of the Ministry of Rites, and he was still in the fifth rank. Looking at who else had this honor in the entire Great Xia, the most important thing was that he knew that the emperor was a daughter. This alone could guarantee that he would rise rapidly in the future, and even have Opportunity to become the queen's guest.
The empress said: "In the near future, the Nanliang delegation will come to Beijing. You should be prepared. Don't betray my trust then."
"I obey the order."
Xiao Tian thanked him and left. Huang Zhong outside the palace hurried away after hearing this.
Watching the young figure go away, the little eunuch beside him said: "Eunuch Huang, what kind of virtue and ability does this boy have to allow His Majesty to receive him in person?"
"To be appointed as a fifth-rank official at such a young age, smoke is rising from the ancestral graves."
"What do you know? He is from the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is a prominent family in Chenzhou."
Huang Zhong snorted and signaled the eunuchs to go ahead and do what they were supposed to do.
Just as he was talking, the empress suddenly called, and Huang Zhong hurried into the palace. The empress said displeased: "Where is Mr. Zhao?"
"Master Zhao went to Cining Palace to report on his duties."
"I see you are very busy recently. What did Mr. Zhao ask you to do?"
Huang Zhong was startled for a moment and quickly shook his head.
The empress's eyes suddenly became sharp, "I really don't think I know what you are doing. Believe it or not, I will send you to the showroom."
When Huang Zhong heard this, he immediately became anxious. He knelt down and kowtowed, and explained everything Zhao An had told him.
"What do you do when you investigate a concubine in the harem?"
"This old slave really doesn't know anything."
Huang Zhong was about to cry. He was just an errand boy, and he had betrayed Zhao An today. If he was found out, he might not have a good life.
The empress thought for a while and waved her hand to retreat. After Huang Zhong stumbled away, the empress called the secret guards and ordered: "Go and check if any of the concubines in the harem have any identity problems."
The secret guards were much more efficient than Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong could only rely on his mouth to find out some things, but that was not the case with them.
Cining Palace.
Zhao An met Luo Qingshuang because he had some hallucinations before. Looking at Luo Qingshuang now, he always felt that her beautiful face was just a layer of paint with an ugly grimace underneath.
Luo Qingshuang felt uncomfortable when she saw Zhao An kneeling on the ground and staring straight at her, "Slave, why are you looking at the Aijia like that?"
Zhao An said with a smile: "I went out on business and came back with great difficulty. I miss the Queen Mother."
"The Ai family didn't realize that you had this intention."
"No way, my slave brought you Chenzhou's goodies." Zhao An took out a small box from his arms and handed it over like a treasure. Luo Qingshuang opened the lid curiously and saw a string of silver pendants inside. , the unusual exquisiteness and novelty made her eyes light up.
During the days when Zhao An was in Chenzhou, he had nothing to do, so he asked a jewelry store to make some specially made with silver. They were imitations of the platinum necklaces from the original world. They made many styles. Every concubine in the harem had one, and of course his women There are gifts too.
"Yes, come and put it on for the Ai family."
Luo Qingshuang was smiling all over her face, and it didn't look like she was faking it.
Zhao An immediately turned behind her, lifted up her black hair, and helped her put on the silver necklace. From a high position, he could clearly see her plump, white and deep slit, without even wearing any obscene clothes.
"Do you look good?" Luo Qingshuang asked coldly, and Zhao An grinned: "Of course the Queen Mother is good-looking, you are the most perfect woman in the world."
"It's like your mouth is covered with honey. Tell me, what do you want the Aijia to do for you by giving the gift to the Aijia?"
"Oh, I can't hide anything from your eyes." Zhao An is good at flattering. He squatted beside her and helped her beat her legs. "I must have told you everything that happened in Chenzhou, right?"
Luo Qingshuang stroked the pendant around her neck and nodded lazily, "You are very courageous. You dare to provoke Fuyun Mountain. Do you know that back then, the late emperor, the King of Chu, Duke Chen, and all the powerful forces in the world were all involved? If you fail to shake Yunding Palace, you are not afraid that the palace owner will kill you, she is the most powerful person in the world."
Zhao An pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears, "The queen mother loves the slave, but the slave is suffering. I originally thought that the thatched cottage would be chaotic and so many people wanted the slave's life, so when I went to Chenzhou, I visited Fuyun Mountain, hoping to I was instructed by the palace master to use more life-saving measures, but I didn’t expect that the Yunding Palace would go too far to bully people, and the servant only took action after being angered.”
Zhao An beat his legs while secretly observing Luo Qingshuang's reaction.
Disappointingly, Luo Qingshuang just held her chin lazily, without any change in her expression.
Zhao An rolled his eyes and added: "Speaking of the palace mistress, I heard from Marquis Tongwu that she is not simply the strongest person in the world. She also served as a tutor for the palace in Donghai County many years ago. "
After these words were spoken, Zhao An keenly noticed that Luo Qingshuang's eyes narrowed. Although it was short-lived, she did have a reaction.
Now that we have found the right direction, it will be easier, so he continued to ask tentatively: "It's strange to say, why would such a powerful person hide in Fuyun Mountain to hide from the world? If she is willing to serve the imperial court with her strength, Your Majesty will be very happy to serve as the Imperial Master, right?"
Luo Qingshuang's face turned cold, "You slave, you are just worried about your master. You don't need to comment on what His Majesty wants to do."
"Hey, I know my mistake. Queen Mother, did that palace master stay in Donghai County back then?"
"Why are you asking about this?" Luo Qingshuang seemed a little unhappy.
Zhao An said bitterly: "Actually, destroying Fuyun is the task given by His Majesty to the slave. Your Majesty is young and powerful and does not allow the court to have forces that disobey the king. Now, although the slave is lucky enough to bring the people of Yunding Palace back to the new city, the palace owner But she has never agreed to contribute to the court. If I can know her past, maybe I can find a way to get her into the court, and in this way I can complete the mission given by His Majesty."
Zhao An truly admired his ability to tell lies with open eyes, and he almost believed it.
Luo Qingshuang said lazily: "Back then, the Lord of Yunding Palace personally went to East China Sea to serve as a tutor in the palace, in order to find a treasure in the hands of the champion, but no one knew what it was. Later, the court determined that the champion had something to do with him. Heart, a group of Jianghu people broke into the palace to kill, and there are rumors that it was the Lord of Yunding Palace who ordered them."
