Chapter 16 Out of Control
Apocalypse Palace.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony had just finished the morning court, and in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Mingxi was absent-mindedly eating his breakfast, and his whole body was filled with cold air.

Li Yue on the side lowered his head and waited carefully.

It's just because the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the early morning court invited the emperor to issue an order to the Qin Tianjian, and to calculate the auspicious day before the canonization ceremony.

However, Marquis Wu An thought that the emperor's dragon body was very valuable, and there were a lot of court affairs when he first ascended, which made the emperor's dragon body uneasy, so he asked the emperor to put the dragon body as the most important thing, and postpone the canonization ceremony, and said that the health of the emperor's dragon body is the apocalypse The blessing of the people.

So, this morning, the matter of the canonization ceremony was left alone.

Emperor Ming Xi frowned and pondered, and asked coldly: "Has the pigeon returned yet?"

Li Yue who was waiting on the side heard the words and hurriedly replied: "Go back to the emperor, not yet."

"Your Majesty, your health is not yet fully recovered. The imperial physician told you to take care of your body. You should eat more for breakfast." Seeing Emperor Mingxi put down the bowl and chopsticks, Li Yue finally tried to persuade him earnestly.

Emperor Ming Xi, who was in deep thought, seemed to have never heard of it, and suddenly clenched his hands, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his eyes were full of evil... What's wrong with Xi'er?Usually reply quickly.I always feel that something is slowly getting out of control, no!Xiao Jinxi, I will never allow accidents to appear.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Yukun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is asking to see you." At this moment, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door.

Emperor Mingxi said in a cold voice, "Li Yue, pass on." He got up and walked towards the imperial study.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yue sighed inaudibly when he saw the breakfast food on the table, which was basically untouched, and went on ordering.

Royal study.

Zhao Yukun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, knelt down and saluted, "I see the Emperor."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Aiqing just retired from court, so why did he enter the palace again?" Emperor Mingxi looked at Zhao Yukun and said in a flat tone, obviously very unhappy about the unfavorable things that Zhao Yukun played in court this morning.

Zhao Yukun's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he hurried forward and replied: "Your Majesty, there is news from my little girl that Marquis Wu An has arranged six personal maidservants who can learn martial arts to stay by Miss Xiao's side since yesterday. Worried about her safety."

When Emperor Mingxi heard the words, he raised his interest and said, "Oh, keep talking."

"Your Majesty, after returning to the mansion that day, Miss Xiao hardly ever left the boudoir. I heard that she was tired and wanted to rest. However, I speculate that Marquis Wu'an would not let her go out, so he sent a new maid to watch her. .”

"Miss Xiao has had a deep relationship with the Emperor since she was a childhood sweetheart, and she definitely wants to marry the Emperor as soon as possible."

"Furthermore, there are already a lot of rumors in the imperial capital. If we can't get married as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the rumors will spread more and more..."

"Your Majesty, it seems that at present, we still have to find a way to make Marquis Wu'an let go of his mouth." Zhao Yukun finished speaking tremblingly.

Emperor Ming Xi listened to what Zhao Yukun said, and after a while, he said, "What Aiqing said is very true, so in Aiqing's opinion, is there any way to make Marquis Wu'an let go?"

Zhao Yukun said helplessly, "This morning, your majesty, you also saw that the old man Marquis Wu'an didn't get in, and now we can't see Miss Xiao, it's really difficult!"

"I also understand, but I can't see Xi'er at the moment." Emperor Mingxi continued.

Zhao Yukun hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to request that Marquis Wu'an has always been stationed in the northern border, and the northern border cannot be separated from Marquis Wu'an. Now that Marquis Wu'an has been away for a long time, it is time to go back. It won't be too late to come back after the canonization ceremony."

Emperor Ming Xi raised his head and looked at Zhao Yukun instantly when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Yukun bowed his head immediately.

After a while, Emperor Ming Xi said: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, but I have to think carefully before making a decision. I have worked hard for Aiqing today. On Xi'er's side, I need Aiqing to help me and pay attention to me. I'm very worried about her."

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Yukun immediately bowed and saluted, and replied: "The humble minister obeys the order, and it is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the sage. Then the humble minister will retire first."

Emperor Mingxi nodded and replied, "Go."

Thinking about what Zhao Yukun said just now, Emperor Ming Xi pondered... Now the rumors are so serious, and the scene of offering sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven has also been seen by many people. more unfavorable.Xiao Jinxi is restrained by the Marquis of Wu'an, and she must not give up.But is it really necessary to let Marquis Wu'an go back so quickly...

Li Yue on the side lowered his head silently, not daring to take a breath. He has been with Emperor Mingxi since he was a child. He knows it too well, and he understands it too well. Many times, as long as Emperor Mingxi doesn't ask, he chooses to remain silent.

Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Jinxiu Pavilion.

"Steward Xiao, why are you here? The slaves greet you." Qiuzhu and Yunluo, seeing Steward Xiao and his group approaching, hurriedly bowed to salute.

Xiao Zhong returned the salute and said: "Girls, you have worked hard. I came here to deliver some things to the eldest lady under the order of the old lady."

Yun Luo replied with a slight smile: "Housekeeper Xiao is too polite, please wait, I'll go and talk to Miss."

"Thank you." Xiao Zhong replied with a nod.

After a while, Yunluo came out, bowed and saluted and said, "Housekeeper Xiao, miss is here to welcome you."

Then he turned his head to look at the person behind him, and said, "The others just stay put, and leave the things to our sisters. Miss doesn't like too many people."

"Give everything to the girls." Steward Xiao turned his head and ordered, and walked into the Nuan Pavilion step by step.

"Yes." Everyone replied, and handed things over to Yunluo and the others one by one.

The pear blossoms in the Nuan Pavilion collapsed, Xiao Jinxi read with a book in his hand, calm and peaceful.

What Xiao Zhong saw when he entered the door was such a picture, he stepped forward one by one and bowed and said: "Xiao Zhong has seen the eldest lady."

Luo Er jumped up happily and said, "Daddy, you are here!"

"Girl, don't mess around." Xiao Zhong said in a low voice.

"Miss, Daddy is talking about me again." Upon hearing this, Luo Er immediately muttered and looked at Xiao Jinxi.

"Uncle Zhong, don't talk about her." Xiao Jinxi looked at this scene and said with a doting smile.

"Hee hee..." Luo Er raised her head and smiled happily.

Xiao Zhong looked at his daughter and shook his head helplessly.

Zhui stepped forward and said: "Miss, the old lady asked me to come and bring you some nourishing herbs, so that the lady must relax and take good care of her body."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and replied: "Okay, I see, Uncle Zhong thanked grandma for me. Tell grandma, in a few days, Xi'er will go over to pay her respects."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhong bowed and replied: "Okay, this subordinate understands. In addition, the old lady told me that the seasons are changing now, and those clothes that were custom-made for the lady in the palace before are not convenient to wear now."

"So, let's ask Yunshangfang to come over and order some more for the lady. Miss, when is it appropriate to let them come over?"

Xiao Jinxi pondered for a while, and said, "After tomorrow, you can arrange the rest, Uncle Zhong."

"Okay, my subordinates will make arrangements. Besides..." Uncle Zhong said, stopped, glanced at the people in the room, and looked at Xiao Jinxi.

An Xue and the others understood, and were about to salute.

"It's okay, Uncle Zhong, tell me." Xiao Jinxi said with a slight smile when he saw it.These people will be her help in the future, and even her right-hand man. They must always let them understand their position.

When An Xue and the others heard the words, they understood in their hearts that the young lady was treating them as confidantes, and she was also testing them!

When Xiao Zhong heard the words, he probably understood, so he said: "Miss, Lord Hou asked his subordinates to tell Miss that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of Rituals will play the ceremony this morning, please choose another auspicious day for the canonization ceremony."

"However, Lord Hou asked the emperor to postpone the canonization ceremony on the grounds of the preciousness of the Holy Majesty's body. Miss, please rest assured."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxi smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Uncle Zhong, please pass a message to your father."

Xiao Zhong bowed back and said, "Miss, please tell me."

Xiao Jinxi smiled lightly, and said: "Just say that the opportunity is coming, and you can follow the trend."

"Yes, miss, this subordinate will tell Lord Hou. This subordinate still has to go to Heyunyuan and Tingxue Pavilion to explain about Yunshangfang, so I will leave first." Xiao Zhong bowed back.

"Yes." Xiao Jinxi nodded and replied.

"Daddy is like this every time, he comes and goes in a hurry." Looking at Steward Xiao who was going away, Luo Er muttered.

Xiao Jinxi smiled dotingly upon hearing the words, and said, "Otherwise, Luoer, you go to accompany your father."

Luo Er scratched her head, and finally said very seriously: "But, if you stay with Daddy, you can't accompany Miss... Forget it, Luo Er still prefers to be with Miss."

"Puchi..." Everyone couldn't help laughing.

For a moment, Xiao Jinxi turned his head to look at the chessboard in front of him, meditating, and after a long time, he called out: "Wei Mo."

"Master." Wei Mo appeared in the room in a gray outfit.

Xiao Jinxi looked at Wei Mo, and ordered: "Tonight, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is probably very lively. You and Chu Yi, rearrange all the secret people, except for the three secret guards in Jinxiu Pavilion, who are allowed to be discovered. Keep it all hidden."

"Also, tell father and brother secretly that if there is nothing special, just go back to the room to rest earlier. Grandma always goes to bed early, so there is no need to say it."

Xiao Jinxi turned to look at An Xue, and ordered again: "An Xue, tonight, those of you who are in charge of guarding this door must keep your spirits up. Of course, as long as no one can enter this door, everything else will be fine." Never mind, let them do what they want. Go do it."

"Yes, master." Wei Mo bowed back and disappeared into the room.

"Yes, miss, An Xue understands." An Xue nodded and bowed back when she heard the words.
