Jinxiyuan is the private office of King Luo in Fengtiansi.
The status of Yushu Pavilion in the palace is more important than that of Jinxiyuan.
As the boudoir of Fat-headed Fish, no man has ever entered Yushu Pavilion.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Just when Jiang Wuji thought that King Luo was so drunk that he was repenting, Qinghe hurried over with small steps.
"Master Jiang, Master Jiang~"
"Miss Qinghe, Your Highness..."
"Oh, Master Jiang, you are serious too." Qinghe said angrily, "Didn't His Highness ask you to go to Yushu Courtyard? It's been half an hour, why are you still here?"
"???"
Jiang Wuji: "I thought someone would come and notify me."
Qinghe stepped forward and carefully hugged Jiang Wuji's arm. Seeing that Jiang Wuji had no objection, he gently led him towards Yushu Pavilion.
"Your Highness clearly asked Mr. Jiang to go to Yushu Pavilion by himself later. Since you know that men are not allowed to enter Yushu Pavilion, you should understand why the palace has this rule."
Qinghe continued: "His Highness drank too much tonight. Your Majesty will be more considerate later. Qinghe has already served His Highness to bathe and change clothes. I will just go directly to the room to see His Highness later."
"Master Jiang..."
Seeing that Qinghe was about to speak but stopped, Jiang Wuji asked, "Miss Qinghe, just tell me what you want."
Qing He's pretty face turned red, and Jiang Wuji felt that her whole body was about to melt. She walked awkwardly, as if she was dawdling intentionally or unintentionally...
"Although Your Highness is in charge of Fengtian Division, you are still a girl after all. This is the first time for Your Highness to do some things. If Your Highness cannot bear it for a while, please remember not to use force..."
"?!"
Is this what a maid can say? Jiang Wuji was stunned.
Although I know that Qinghe and Fathead Fish have a good relationship, given their status, it is impossible for them to truly become sisters even if they love each other.
However, what Qing He said next made Jiang Wuji go from stunned to dumbfounded.
"After a while, His Highness will probably ask Qing He to wait outside the door. If His Highness is tired, he will definitely ask Qing He to serve you, Master Jiang... Qing He, this is Qing He's first time, in case he fails to keep you entertained to the fullest, Sir, don’t be surprised..."
Good guy, so harvesting the fat-headed fish is equivalent to harvesting the green grass?
According to Qing He, if Fathead Fish couldn't withstand the fire, he would ask Qing He to come over and help.
More importantly, from Qinghe's tone, it can be heard that Fathead Fish does not object, and this is even the way it should be, it is normal...
Although I'm lustful, I'm not obscene, and I'm not at the point where I won't refuse anyone who comes my way... Jiang Wuji touched the bridge of his nose and responded with a sneer.
Qinghe is outstanding both in appearance and figure, comparable to ordinary women.
But Jiang Wuji has never had any thoughts about Qinghe. To put it simply, he won't call.
And in Jiang Wuji's heart, whether it is Ji Xiaowan or Fathead Fish, once they reach that point, they are his people.
No matter what I post in the future, I will be responsible to them to the end.
Therefore, no matter what happens next, Jiang Wuji cannot let Qinghe suffer. It is absolutely impossible...
After a while, Yushu Pavilion arrived.
Under Qinghe's watch, Jiang Wuji entered King Luo's boudoir.
The decoration in the house is simple, with paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, and the faint scent of sandalwood and ink lingering on the tip of the nose, making people relax.
"I thought you had gone back."
After hearing the news, he saw King Luo in silk nightgown leaning on the imperial concubine's couch behind the bead curtain.
The small incense burner on the small table in front of the couch emitted silky smoke. Next to the incense burner were a pot of tea and several plates of snacks.
Jiang Wuji swallowed his saliva and stepped forward to bow: "Your Highness, this is a humble position..."
King Luo raised his hand to interrupt what Jiang Wuji was about to say, and slid down his sleeves, revealing a section of white and smooth lotus root arm.
"I ask you, do you know what it means to hold a sword in front of heaven?"
"Report to the country, provide peace to the people, make achievements, and hold the sword in the sky." Jiang Wuji replied.
King Luo: "Then can you do it?"
"..."
This was similar to what the empress asked herself at the beginning, which was whether she was willing to be loyal to the imperial court.
At that time, the Queen's question was rather vague, so it was reasonable for him to respond with "greedy for money, lustful, and upright."
But now that King Luo has made it clear directly, and coupled with the subtle relationship, "greedy for money and lust" must not be mentioned.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Wuji said seriously: "Loyalty has foolish loyalty, and filial piety has foolish filial piety. It can be seen that the two words of loyalty and filial piety are not something that a smart person can do; benevolence can have false benevolence, and righteousness can have false righteousness. It can be seen that the two paths of benevolence and righteousness are not without them. Evildoers hide in them.”
"In a humble heart, one must not be foolish or evil, foolishly kind, foolishly loyal, foolishly filial, or foolishly benevolent."
After a moment of silence, King Luo sat up and asked in a deep voice: "After saying so much, you just don't want to be loyal to the Holy One or to this king? Do you know that for what you just said, this king can kill you!" "
"Do you know that your so-called foolish loyalty is an insult to people with integrity!"
Seeing that the fat-headed fish was angry, Jiang Wuji's temper also rose.
If this dynasty was called Huaxia, even if it were any dynasty that could coincide with his memory, Jiang Wuji would be able to shed his blood.
But this is Dali, a completely unfamiliar dynasty...
Jiang Wuji straightened his back and responded in a deep voice: "Being loyal is not disloyal. If you are loyal to incompetent people, Dali will only perish!"
"Does it mean that in the eyes of His Highness, the only word for an official is loyalty?"
"If you are unfaithful as an official, how can you be an official?" King Luo asked.
"So Your Highness thinks that loyalty is the way to be an official and there is no other way?"
"Okay, then tell me, what is the way to be an official! If you can't answer it today, don't appear in front of me again in the future!"
King Luo was really angry. As the Queen of Dali, the Empress's biological sister.
Regarding the choice of the other half, loyalty to the court is greater than anything else.
Tonight, she just wanted Jiang Wuji to promise her and be loyal to the imperial court, and he would never be that treacherous official and traitor in the future.
As long as Jiang Wuji agreed, no matter what happened next or what Jiang Wuji did to her, she would never escape again.
But this guy Jiang Wuji is like a stick-in-the-mud man who is always loyal and foolish, and even refutes the principle that "loyalty comes first when serving as an official".
How could she not be angry about this?
We were supposed to go through the process and move on to the next step, so why did we start arguing?
The fat-headed fish was very angry, but she had no intention of giving in on this matter.
"His Highness asked the humble post, what is the way to be an official..." Jiang Wuji paused, and said: "Okay, then let me tell you, the humble post, what is the way to be an official."
"Water has a source, so its flow is endless; trees have roots, so their growth is endless."
"The movement of a big roc is not as light as a feather, and the speed of a horse is not as strong as a foot!"
The words were loud and neither humble nor arrogant. King Luo was moved, his red lips parted slightly, and his beautiful eyes trembled slightly.
"The world belongs to the people of the world. Only when the government is connected and people are harmonious can everything be prosperous."
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
"The Ming Hall relies on only one pillar, but all the talents are attached to it, so it can be established! The great honor relies on only one person, but all the people can help!"
"Whoever is above ten people must be below ten people! Whoever is above a hundred people must be below a hundred people! Whoever is above the world must be below the world!"
"As an official, you should establish your mind for the heaven and earth, and establish your destiny for the people! Carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints! Create peace for all generations!"
"A humble position can be loyal to a wise king, or it can kill a faint king, on that imperial platform!"
"This is the way to be an official in the humble heart!"
King Luo was stunned, and every word was like a giant tree hitting a bell, hitting the depths of her soul.
At this time, even Qing He, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was deeply shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.
A long time, a long time.
King Luo sighed.
She analyzed it word by word, but couldn't find anything to refute.
She believed that her sister would not be a fool, and now she also believed that Jiang Wuji would not turn against her sister.
But mortals have their time limit. If one day Dali changes the emperor, and he happens to be the emperor again, will Jiang Wuji choose to rebel instead of loyally assisting?
"..."
The fat-headed fish began to feel conflicted.
She realized that her thoughts were very selfish, but as the King of One Word, there was nothing wrong with wanting her subjects to be loyal to Dali...
Perhaps it was the female CEO's personality that caused King Luo to be a bit stubborn, but his stance was different. Jiang Wuji was right, and so was she.
Just when the fat-headed fish didn't know what to make, a pair of warm hands gently held her cheeks.
A handsome face came into view, with impeccable features that were carved like a knife.
"Actually, Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much."
Jiang Wuji said warmly: "If I were your choice after weighing the pros and cons, then no matter what the outcome, it would not be the right choice."
"The right choice should be the determination to do it after your heart is pounding, knowing that it is impossible. This is also my greatest sincerity to His Highness."
"Just like His Highness asking me if I am willing to be loyal to Dali, I know that in the future I may run counter to my beliefs because of Your Highness."
"But I didn't hesitate, but instinctively did not look back."
"I have always thought that the word love is extremely vulgar, but since I met His Highness, I just feel that I am a vulgar person."
"I don't know where love starts, but it goes deep; the wind has an appointment, the flowers are always the same, year after year..."
Jiang Wuji didn't have time to finish.
A piece of soft fragrance prints on the lips.

I think the character of Li Zhiyu (Luo Wang, Fathead Fish) needs the foreshadowing of this chapter.
As a one-word side by side king, he must have been entangled, contradictory, and hesitant before being eaten.
The foreshadowing is over, let’s eat fish in the next chapter.
