Qin Mu.
The youngest and the weakest physically, not to mention his background is a mess.
Xu Zhihuai frowned slightly, a little confused.
Seeing that she had stopped talking, Zhu Xuxing said slowly: "Qin Mu is a good young man. First of all, he is from an official family, and he is the youngest in the family, so he is naturally loved by his elders. No matter how young he is, he has seen some things in the world, even if he is a family member If he is in the middle of the road, his habits of food, clothing, housing and transportation will not be too bad. He is the youngest, so re-teaching him will not take too much effort. Of course, his body is a bit weak, but the advantage is his honesty. It is obvious that all five of them are hungry, but he is willing to talk When I exit, I don’t care about the eyes of others.”
Xu Zhihuai nodded repeatedly without refuting, and said quietly: "Your Majesty is careful, and you can see so many things in a quick glance."
Zhu Xuxing smiled: "You are the person I need to be more careful about."
He knew she must have something to say too.
Xu Zhihuai Rourou said: "I don't worry about anything else, I only worry about his unstable temperament and bad intentions... In the eyes of the emperor, Mr. Qin is a corrupt official with heinous crimes, but in Qin Mu's eyes, he is... His dearest relative, the emperor chopped off his father’s head and ransacked his home, how can he not hate it?”
Resentment is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it can be engraved in the bones and grow quietly.
Zhu Xuxing held his Yi with one hand and looked at her with a sad expression on her face, slightly lost in thought.
"Your Highness?"
Xu Zhihuai called him, but he smiled and said nothing.
"Is my concubine talking too much?"
Zhu Xuxing smiled and shook his head: "Whenever I encounter something important, I can only listen to you say a few more words."
She is usually too cautious and cautious.
She said yes to everything he gave her.
Xu Zhihuai suddenly felt embarrassed: "Your Highness, please stop teasing me."
"I'm telling you the truth."
Zhu Xuxing became serious: "In the future, you should come up with more ideas and don't always be polite."
"My concubine knows."
Xu Zhihuai smiled and bent his eyes.
"Huai'er, what else do you want to know?"
Xu Zhihuai thought about it and just shook his head.
Zhu Xuxing stretched out his hand to pick up the tea bowl on the table, thought for a while and said, "It's better to leave Xiao Yi and Qin Mu here first, so that they can see people's hearts over time, and then take a look."
"Stay them all?"
"There are no children in the palace, and An'er also lacks a companion."
Xu Zhihuai nodded slowly: "Let's do it according to the emperor's wishes." After saying that, she picked up the tea cup, looked at the clear green tea leaves falling to the bottom of the cup, and said: "But can I personally teach them?"
"I'm just afraid of your hard work."
Zhu Xuxing said considerately.
Xu Zhihuai is not afraid of hard work, but he is afraid that people with ulterior motives will use methods to hurt An'er.
Eunuch Cui of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered someone to clear out a clean room next to the miscellaneous room for Xiao Yi and Qin Mu to live in first.
Xiao Yixin was confident and had long expected that he would be left behind, but he didn't expect that there was a smelly fly next to him, which was really an eyesore.
Qin Mu sat blankly on the edge of the kang. He had no luggage and only had this washed-out coarse cloth. He had lived in the cell for half a year, doing menial labor every day in addition to being hungry and angry.
He wasn't used to not having to do anything at the moment.
Xiao Yi turned her back to him and packed up her clothes, then wrapped the bag containing the broken silver again and again, and put it under the pillow.
He silently turned around and glanced at Qin Mu opposite him. Seeing that he didn't peek, he was slightly relieved. After a second thought, he was afraid that he would turn around and look around, so he raised his voice and said, "Hey, I'm warning you, even though we are in the same place, I live in the house, you are not allowed to come to my side, if you dare to touch my things, I will not spare you!"
Qin Mu reacted slowly, slowly raised his head, looked at him expressionlessly, and said nothing.
Seeing that he remained silent, Xiao Yi snorted again: "Bad luck."
The two of them stayed there.
Xu Zhihuai called Jinhua and warned, "You don't have to worry about my affairs from now on, just take good care of An'er."
Jinhua nodded, knowing in her heart that it was awesome.
After lunch, Eunuch Cui brought the two children over again.
Qin Mu changed into new clothes, but the sleeves were too long and didn't fit him.
Xiao Yi was neat and tidy, with his hair combed meticulously. Against him, Qin Mu next to him looked dark and small.
Xu Zhihuai waved to them to stand closer: "Are you still used to living in the palace?"
Xiao Yi was the first to speak: "Thanks to the emperor and empress, everything in the palace is fine, and the common people are very honored."
The young man's voice is smooth and has a slight official accent. It sounds like he has practiced it countless times.
Xu Zhihuai smiled slightly and looked at Qin Mu again. Seeing that he kept his head down and said nothing, he asked again: "Qin Mu, why didn't you say anything?"
Qin Mu lowered his head and knelt down and said, "Back to the noble concubine, the untouchables are stupid and can't speak."
His voice was weak and lacked confidence.
"It's hard to get used to it at first. You are still young, so you don't have to be brave in everything. If you need anything, just ask Eunuch Cui. I will make my own arrangements."
"Thank you, empress."
Xu Zhihuai looked at Eunuch Cui with a smile on his face and said, "I know that Eunuch-in-law is a busy man, taking care of the affairs of various palaces, but please pay more attention to these two children."
Eunuch Cui bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. I will do my best to take good care of them."
Xu Zhihuai said no more and only asked Aunt Yue to explain a few words.
Starting at three o'clock every day, I wash up and practice martial arts.
Have breakfast at nine o'clock and read with the princess.
School is over at 2 o'clock...
At the end of the day, it was full.
While Grandma Yue was talking, Xu Zhihuai had been silently observing Xiao Yi and Qin Mu, but she soon discovered the reason why Qin Mu kept his head lowered.
There was a faint greenish tint under his eyes, as if he had been beaten.
At this moment, Mu Xiuwan came over to deliver cakes. Seeing these two unfamiliar-looking children, she couldn't help but wonder secretly.
Xu Zhihuai asked Eunuch Cui to take the person away first, and then slowly explain to her.
After hearing this, Mu Xiuwan was startled at first, and then smiled: "It's a good thing, but when I look at it, one of them is not much older than An'er."
"Five years old."
Xu Zhihuai looked helpless.
Mu Xiuwan exclaimed: "How can a five-year-old child be an inner court guard?"
Xu Zhihuai smiled and shook his head: "I don't think it is possible, but the emperor is very optimistic about him."
Mu Xiuwan's eyes widened: "Whose family does that child belong to?"
"The youngest of Qin's family, the former magistrate of Xunzhou."
"Xunzhou? Prefect?"
Mu Xiuwan thought for a while, then changed her face instantly, and whispered: "Sister, could it be her child?"
Xu Zhihuai saw that his expression was wrong and asked directly: "She? Who is she?"
"Jin Pinghaiwang, sister, have you heard of it?"
Xu Zhihuai shook his head: "Where is the king? Such a strange name was also given by the emperor?"
Mu Xiuwan smiled: "Of course he was not appointed by the imperial court. That man was originally a pirate. When he became powerful, he donated money to his official position. Unfortunately, he did not make it long and was dismissed. He was unwilling to give up and started his old business again. There was a storm in the city. The imperial court sent troops to suppress him three times but failed to catch him. The man was so proud that he gave himself such a name."
Xu Zhihuai listened intently: "Qin Mu is..."
Mu Xiuwan considered it and said: "I also made a guess. According to popular legend, King Jin Pinghai has no children, but he has seven daughters. The magistrate of Xunzhou married one of them."
