Four Seas Bank Suzaku branch.

I saw Qing Yu hurried in, bowed and saluted: "Master, there is news from the Hou's residence that the young miss has entered the palace with Concubine Xian."

Mo Yi, who was reading a book in front of the desk, stood up instantly when he heard the words, his voice became cold: "When did it happen?"

"It's five o'clock." Qingyu replied.

Mo Yi's breath suddenly turned cold, and he turned and walked out.

When Qing Yu saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said: "Master, please wait first, listen to me first."

When Mo Yi heard the words, he cast a murderous gaze and shot over: "Say."

Qingyu trembled subconsciously, fearing that what she was going to say next would make the master even more angry, Qingyu closed her eyes, opened them again, summoned up her courage, and said in one breath: "I heard that the young lady had already predicted that yesterday. When we arrived, we had already arranged everything in the mansion. Concubine Xian summoned Xiao Jinxuan into the palace because of the matter of Yunyin Temple, but was rejected by the eldest lady. The second lady was left by the eldest lady with the old lady. It's the palace." At the end, Qingyu hurriedly took a few steps back, but still stopped at the door.

"Nonsense." Mo Yi clenched his fists instantly and growled, "Xi'er, you just put yourself in danger like this!"

For a moment, Mo Yi looked at Qingyu, and roared murderously: "Qingyu, get out of the way."

At this moment, Qingyu was already trembling with fright in her heart, knowing that the master would be angry, but she never thought about it being so serious, it was the first time she saw the master lose her temper so much, Qingyu gritted her teeth and stood firm at the door, and said again: "Master, Qingyu knows that you are worried about the eldest lady, but if you go now, it will disrupt the eldest lady's plan. Master, let alone your own safety, if you enter the palace rashly at this moment, you may even cause trouble for the eldest lady. Please, master Think twice!"

Yes, now that I haven't officially appeared in the imperial capital, if I appear rashly, it will cause trouble for Xi'er. With a "bang...", I saw Mo Yi's right hand clenched into a fist and smashed hard on the wall. In an instant, blood flowed from his right hand out...
"Master!" Qingyu cried anxiously after seeing it, but he didn't dare to go forward. He knew that the master must be blaming himself for not showing up in the imperial capital earlier, blaming himself for not being able to accompany the eldest lady, and letting the eldest lady Entering the palace alone to face Emperor Mingxi, perhaps, at this moment, only the pain in his hand can make him feel better...
After a while, Qingyu Fang said again: "Master, the eldest lady has always been smart, and she must enter the palace only if she is sure. Master, let's wait a little longer, okay?"

I saw Mo Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said: "Qingyu, go and see immediately, how long will it take for the person who sent the letter to enter the imperial capital, and remind me immediately."

"Yes, master." Qingyu bowed and replied, seeing the master who had calmed down at this moment, Qingyu stepped back with confidence.

Mo Yi was left alone in the room. At this moment, Mo Yi collapsed to the ground in an instant, a tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye... there was self-blame in his eyes... there was panic... and there was helplessness that could not move an inch. help······

Apocalypse Palace Chengqian Palace.

"The emperor is here..." Eunuch Li Yue's voice came from outside the hall.

After a while, Emperor Mingxi came in, and Dugu Yanzhu stepped forward, bowed and said: "My concubine sees the emperor."

"My concubine is flat." Emperor Ming Xi stepped forward and helped Dugu Yan up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dugu Yan smiled slightly and replied.

You are so affectionate!Xiao Jinxi sneered in his heart, walked forward one by one, bowed lightly, and said: "My daughter, see the emperor." Before Emperor Mingxi could speak, he stood up straight and stood there quietly.

Dugu Yan on the side was watching, but he was smiling in his heart, Xiao Jinxi, are you angry? Seeing the emperor being so close to Bengong, he would be unhappy too!So you haven't let go of the emperor yet!

Emperor Ming Xi took a look and said, "It's rare that Xi'er can enter the palace today, and I'm very happy."

Dugu Yan, who was at the side, immediately clenched the hands under his sleeves when he heard it!

When Xiao Jinxi heard the words, he said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself. You and I have broken off the engagement. According to the etiquette, you should not call me by my boudoir name. This will not only damage my reputation, but the world will also say, Your Majesty, you are my daughter." It’s not good for you if you don’t follow the ancestral system!”

Emperor Mingxi's eyes froze instantly when he heard the words, Xiao Jinxi, you just saw that I was kind to Concubine Xian, and you were obviously unhappy, so what's going on?

But at this moment, Dugu Yan was very happy, and said one by one: "Your Majesty, the banquet is ready, let's chat while eating, don't let Miss Xiao go hungry."

"Open the table." Emperor Mingxi left the words, turned and walked into the side hall one by one.

"Miss Xiao, please." Dugu Yan said with a faint smile.

"Concubine Xian, please." Xiao Jinxi replied, and walked into the side hall step by step, thinking to himself, why do you have a meal for you couple!

······
"Miss Xiao, why do you feel unwell after eating so little?" Emperor Ming Xi asked.

I saw Xiao Jinxi smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are very picky eaters, the Emperor is not to blame."

"Oh, you are picky eaters, I don't know." Emperor Ming Xi said.

Only to hear Xiao Jinxi say again: "You are the emperor, so I don't know about such a trivial matter."

Emperor Ming Xi was choked instantly when he heard the words.

Dugu Yan at the side smiled and said: "It's my fault today, I haven't arranged a good meal, I'll wait for Miss Xiao."

"It's okay. I already had too much breakfast, so I don't have much appetite this time." Xiao Jinxi replied lightly.

I only heard Emperor Ming Xi say again: "Last time Miss Xiao's soldiers besieged the two mansions, and the matter of Huimin Shu donating medicine was a good story in the imperial capital. Miss Xiao is familiar with the laws and etiquettes of the apocalypse, which makes me very happy." I am gratified. Now I have something to do, and I would like to ask Miss Xiao to help me share my worries."

Xiao Jinxi looked at Emperor Ming Xi upon hearing this, and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, tell me."

Emperor Mingxi said slowly: "Since I ascended the throne, envoys from various countries have come to the court slowly, but I suddenly discovered that the people in the Honglu Pavilion lacked understanding of the laws and rituals of Tianqi, which really made me angry. I think it was because the late emperor was too merciful that these people lost their sense of propriety, I would like to ask Miss Xiao to take up a part-time job as the ceremonial officer of the Honglu Hall, and teach them for me."

Dugu Yan at the side heard the words, and was instantly puzzled, why did he suddenly mention the Honglu Pavilion?Could it be related to the emperor getting angry in the imperial study yesterday?Could this be the reason why the emperor asked me to call sister Xiao Jinxi into the palace today?

And Xiao Jinxi sneered in his heart when he heard the words, Emperor Ming Xi, this is your purpose today, you want to see if I know that Liu Quan and Zhou Da are both in the Honglu Pavilion!

I saw Xiao Jinxi smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the courtiers will not be able to help you with this matter. For one thing, before my father went to the northern border, he repeatedly told the courtiers that they should cultivate themselves in the mansion, and they are not allowed to go out at will. It is difficult to disobey, and please forgive me. Second, the courtiers have always behaved perversely. They don't like those polite people in the Honglu Pavilion, and they never want to associate with them. It is indeed difficult for the courtiers to teach them. Don’t dare to take it down, don’t get angry and demolish the Honglu Pavilion, it will be bad.”

"By the way, everyone in the world knows that the virtuous concubine has a heart, talent and virtue, and that the virtuous concubine has a good relationship with many officials in the Honglu Hall. Why doesn't the emperor ask the virtuous concubine to take on this important task."

When Emperor Mingxi heard the words, he turned his head to look at Duguyan in an instant, and said in surprise: "Aifei has a good relationship with many officials of the Honglu Pavilion?"
