The entire empire was like a machine that began to run at high speed. The upper levels issued orders, and the lower levels communicated and executed them. Although people at the lower levels may misinterpret some meanings when executing, in general they acted according to the expected plan.
Cheng Lang, who returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, sat quietly in his room, constantly thinking about the scenes that appeared in his mind. For some reason, whether it was the parents of the Crown Princess or the monk who broke the sky with his sword, in his mind The picture in his mind gradually faded and disappeared.
This made Cheng Lang even more surprised. Nothing like this has ever happened since he was able to do divination. Today's divination result was so unexpected and completely different from the past. Why?
Su Qing and Yang Wei got up early in the morning. After breakfast, the emperor wouldn't let him go anyway, and it was boring to be idle. Su Qing continued to guide Yang Wei in refining medicine. When Chun Ming came over, he taught him a few basic spells and tried to win him over. Can successfully become a national teacher.
It is better to let someone who has no hostility towards him and is grateful to him as the national advisor than Cheng Lang to continue to be the imperial advisor.
There has been no possibility of reconciliation between them since Cheng Lang imprisoned Yang Wei. Su Qing used her powerful strength to crush Cheng Lang, leaving him humiliated and embarrassed.
Cheng Lang must hate himself to death. Since he has offended him, he has no intention of reconciling with him. Cheng Lang is a bit narrow-minded. If he continues to be a national advisor, it may lead to bad things in the future.
Therefore, it is best for him to improve Chun Ming's cultivation as soon as possible and let the emperor choose him to be the national master.
Before Chunming came over, Su Qing chatted with Yang Wei: "I don't know when the emperor will let us go. I think he has the same purpose as the imperial master."
Yang Wei looked ashamed, "Master, what should I do? I have caused trouble for you."
Su Qing shook his head, "It has nothing to do with you. If I didn't teach you the art of alchemy, nothing would have happened. Don't worry, the Imperial Master and the Emperor have requests from us, but they are also afraid of me and don't dare to use coercion. They will definitely cooperate in a cooperative way." To achieve what you want, if it’s not too difficult, just agree to him.”
If Yang Wei had any ideas, he could only listen to Guang Lingzi. He didn't think much about Guang Lingzi's suggestion of teaching him the art of alchemy.
The two of them were talking when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Su Qing shouted, "Come in." She thought the maid had something to tell her, but she didn't expect that a strange woman came in with tools in her hand.
The woman came in and bowed politely to Su Qing, "I have met Taoist Guanglingzi."
Su Qing asked: "Who are you? Is something wrong?"
The woman said: "Taoist Priest, I'm here to clean the room."
Su Qing looked at her clothes. The style was similar to that of the two maids in the guest house. The multiple aprons turned out to be the palace cleaners. The two maids who cleaned the guest house could also be used. Do they need to send a special person? ?
The strangest thing is, why are there no intelligent robots in the palace? The emperor is the most powerful person in the empire, so he even has a dedicated maid for cleaning. What a waste of manpower!
Little did Su Qing know that the upper class in the Imperial City were extravagant and luxurious, and every family would compete with each other in everything they did, just spend money in every possible way and work hard.
The central galaxy of the empire is the most developed. The higher the living standards of people in developed areas, the more expensive labor costs. Many people will use intelligent robots to work, reducing the use of labor and reducing costs.
But rich people value appearance and good face. The more expensive the things they use, the more respect they have. If all the servants of any family use real people, it will look old-fashioned and show that their family is powerful and wealthy.
The palace is not exempt from vulgarity. Besides, there are so many guards. If we don’t recruit some maids, the palace is full of men. It is easy for the imbalance of yin and yang to cause problems. Therefore, we follow the ancient etiquette and use maids everywhere in the palace, in order to make the palace more comfortable. Nuoda's palace was bustling with excitement.
Su Qing knew that she was here to clean, so she smiled and said: "Please do it yourself, just do what you usually do."
The plain-looking woman nodded, her eyes as quiet as water, and there was no hint of panic. She naturally picked up various professional tools, swept away dust, and wiped and disinfected. Because they were all high-tech tools, cleaning was very simple.
After the woman cleaned the living room and wiped the table, she was very close to Su Qing. She suddenly said softly:
"Taoist Priest, I was entrusted by someone to ask you if you are willing to cooperate with my lord. My lord said that the conditions he offered would definitely be 10% higher than your Majesty's."
Su Qing looked at the woman with great surprise. She was wearing a palace uniform but helping other ministers to win over her. She was very brave. This is the palace, the emperor's territory, yet she dares to do this blatantly.
Su Qing did not answer her question, but asked with interest: "If you tell me this, wouldn't your identity be exposed?"
The maid was very calm and said coldly: "I'm here to clean the room. I don't know what the Taoist said. I'm just giving someone a message. Since the Taoist is not interested, forget it."
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, he had quite a personality, and said with a smile: "Don't leave, since you are helping people spread the word, you always tell me who the other party is and what conditions you want to give me, how can you make it higher than the conditions offered by the emperor. "
The maid stretched out her hand and wrote a number on her palm, "If the Taoist priest is interested, just contact them yourself. I'm just a messenger."
Su Qing glanced casually to one side, seemingly not interested at all, but in fact he had already memorized the number.
The maid didn't care whether Guang Lingzi remembered the number or not. After more than ten seconds, she took out a tissue and wiped the number off, then continued cleaning as if nothing had happened.
This calm and self-possessed acting style made Su Qing feel a little dazed. The maids in the palace were really different. They were so calm both inside and outside, and they had the talent to be a professional undercover agent.
Su Qing and Yang Wei were so embarrassed by the maid that they were too embarrassed to talk. They were not as calm as a woman.
The maid finished cleaning the bedroom and other places, and whispered to the two of them: "Master Taoist, I have cleaned all the rooms. If you need anything, just ask the two sisters to find me. I will leave."
Su Qing nodded subconsciously, knowing that no one would tell her if she asked again. He must be a thoughtful person who dared to do such a thing in the palace. They had already cleaned up everything. Even if Su Qing reported her, there was no evidence. Would say she is being unreasonable.
After the maid left, Su Qing and Yang Wei smiled bitterly at each other, "What's the point of reading?" Are there people like this in the imperial palace?
Despite Yang Wei's age, Meng Yuexing is a peaceful place. As Yang Wei grows up, he has no chance to be exposed to the games between the upper class.
Who would have thought that in order to defeat their opponents, the powerful people of all parties would do whatever it takes, so what does it mean to insert their own hands into each other? That is to say, Su Qing and Yang Wei feel fresh because their backgrounds are too low.
"Master, what did the maid mean?" Yang Wei was still a little confused. He had been locked up in the Imperial Master's Mansion refining medicine for these years, and his brain was already a bit dysfunctional.
Su Qing said with a smile: "Haha, it's interesting. The people in the Imperial City are really good at playing. Some people want to steal business from His Majesty. Yang Wei, add this number and talk to him to see what they mean."
Yang Wei was also curious about who dared to go against the emperor.
Open the communicator, add a number, and leave a message, who are you?
Soon the other party applied for a friend and asked, "Is this Taoist Guanglingzi?"
Su Qing said: "Tell him, you are Yang Wei, you can fully represent me, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush,"
Yang Wei sent it, but the other party didn't reply for a long time.
As soon as the beep sounded, Yang Wei hurriedly checked, and then said: "Master, he said he wants you to help make alchemy and train a few disciples. You can do whatever conditions you want."
