Zhao Jinyu said naturally, "My name is Zhang Hong..." She stopped suddenly as if a cat had bitten her tongue, and a look of discomfort flashed across her face.
"Zhang Hong? Why does it sound like a man's name?" The emperor was sure that the woman in front of him was not guarding against him, but the name didn't sound like a woman's.
Zhao Jinyu turned her back to the stone, and pulled the quilt over her head. A vague voice came from under the quilt, "I'm going to sleep, little one, let's rest."
The emperor only saw the back of Zhao Jinyu's head, and suddenly anger rose in his chest, and he scolded, "Presumptuous, I'm asking you something!"
Zhao Jinyu seemed to be able to feel the shock of the stone's fury, sighed, as if coaxing a child, turned her head and rubbed her cheek against the stone, and said in a warm voice, "Little thing, you have a really bad temper, that word for 荭 is 水荭Dear." There was an inexplicable nostalgia rippling in his tone, this kind of emotion was faint, and he almost didn't notice it deliberately.
The tender skin was sticking to her body, smooth and warm. The emperor wanted to scold her for being shameless, but thinking that she still had doubts, he forced himself to hold back, but his voice lowered unconsciously, and asked , "How did your parents choose such a name?"
"Because I was born on the edge of Shuihong..." Zhao Jinyu didn't expect that she would accidentally report her modern name, but the more she said, it would be bad if people really realized that she was a time traveler, of course she It's not that the stone spirit can't understand it. After all, it itself is an existence against the sky. It's not just a very instinctive sense of self-protection. It stopped quickly, knocked on the stone, and said, "Why do you have so many questions?"
She thought maybe it was because she hadn't recovered from the dream just now, or maybe it was because she was going to visit her adoptive father Zhao Changchun tomorrow, and she was a little depressed with mixed feelings. Pulling it into her arms and putting it on her chest, it was like holding it, "Shh, close your eyes and rest." Zhao Jinyu felt that she might have been alone for too long, and a small stone leaned against her There was a bit of warmth in her chest, as if having such a stone spirit in her arms would not make her appear to be alone.
Surrounded by soft and inconceivable plumpness, he inadvertently smelled the fragrance of his body and fragrance, and felt the peach-like chest and shape through the underwear... The emperor had never experienced such a situation in his life, and he couldn't bear it immediately. Stopped, "You woman, do you know shame?" He couldn't help shouting, he had said this several times today, and he himself said it was annoying, but he really couldn't find a more appropriate one. "I told you a long time ago that I am a man!"
Zhao Jinyu seemed to find it amusing that the emperor looked so frantic, and couldn't help jokingly said, "Man? Then show me the shape?" Zhao Jinyu was sure that the stone belonged to a very low-level stone spirit, because it didn't have any mana. What's more, it can only show itself on dark nights. Of course, more importantly, if this stone is really powerful, it will definitely not make her feel better according to its bad temper. He didn't do anything other than lose his temper.
The emperor frowned, but he couldn't say it... Could it be that he told her directly that he was not a stone spirit
Zhao Jinyu touched the stone with her finger, and said, "Little thing, you are really awkward, don't be so troublesome, I don't mind letting you eat tofu, good boy, go to bed early."
The emperor took several deep breaths, decided to ignore this question, and asked, "Then you have to tell me, where is your residence?"
"The capital city."
The emperor stared angrily.
Zhao Jinyu smiled, carefully put the quilt back on the stone, closed her eyes and said, "Let's rest." Afterwards, even if the emperor made such a fuss, he just pretended not to hear it, and the angry emperor's nose was crooked, but there was nothing he could do. Although Zhao Jinyu didn't guess the emperor's identity correctly, one thing was correct, that is, the emperor had no magic power to threaten her except being able to speak.
The one-man show is the most boring. Afterwards, the emperor himself also felt bored. Maybe Zhao Jinyu's skin was too soft, or maybe the vague fragrance was too calming. I'm full and full, why don't I go outside to enjoy the cool breeze if I don't sleep? rest...
Soon the emperor also fell asleep.
On such a snowy night, the girl and the stone were very close together and fell into a sweet dream.
***
The next morning, Su Qingchen and Qin Hong, who came out from the imperial palace, were both serious. It snowed all night yesterday, and it just stopped in the morning. The skin of the mouse was warm, and he said to Qin Hong, "Although I dare not speculate on the holy meaning, but I am watching..." Su Qingchen paused at this point, successfully attracting Qin Hong's attention.
Qin Hong is warm with very bright white fox fur, and the hem is very flamboyantly hung with bright yellow tassels, which complements his already too beautiful and delicate face, with a kind of beauty that people can't take their eyes off.
"What?" Qin Hong asked lazily.
If there is anything that Su Qingchen can't bear the most... that is Qin Hong's luxury problem. The food and clothing are all exquisite and beautiful, not the best, not the most beautiful, not to mention the most popular clothing styles in the capital every year He came to lead them, you say an eunuch..., tsk tsk, every time he thinks of this, he feels as sick as swallowing a fly.
"Although I know the name of that person, our Hanzhen Dynasty has lived and worked in peace and contentment since the Taizu, and we don't pick up things on the road. Therefore, there are more than one million people in this capital. It will definitely not be found out within ten days from the household registration. I'm afraid that after the investigation is found out, that person will have to believe and run away." Although Su Qingchen is unwilling to work with Qin Hong, he waited for the two of them to be beaten five times by the emperor today... and they didn't hit the full two. Ten are afraid that the two of them will be unable to walk at all, and they will fall ill in bed and have no energy to work, but the board will be recorded in the account, saying that if they can't find out, they will be recorded for one day. For ten days, that's two hundred boards, and two people can't be beaten to death
Thinking about it this way, the best way is for the two of them to put aside their previous suspicions and join hands.
Apparently Qin Hong knew about this, so he didn't hide it as usual. After pondering for a while, he said, "Your Majesty is wise, it is my great fortune to grant my people to live and work in peace and contentment." Put down the palace where the emperor lived and bowed down.
When Su Qingchen saw Qin Hong's hypocrisy, he cursed inwardly as a sycophant, but he could only worship along with him.
Qin Hong looked at Su Qingchen holding back secretly, but followed his own actions. He couldn't help being happy, and finally got to the point, and said, "Master Su thinks that His Majesty's expression should be that he knows the woman named Zhang Hong." Bar?"
"Exactly."
"You want to ask again, why don't you draw a portrait?"
Su Qingchen actually already had the answer in his heart, but the answer made him feel a little unbelievable. Normally, he would have to find someone to inquire about it, but now since Qin Hong and him need to work together, and Qin Hong came from Da Nei , Commander Ren Jinyiwei had served the emperor before, so he knew it best, so naturally he started with his words, and when he heard Qin Hong's words, he cupped his hands and said modestly, "Please give me some advice, my lord."
Normally, if Qin Hong caught such an opportunity, he would definitely ridicule Su Qingchen, but he also knew that now is not the time to talk nonsense, so he looked at Qin Hong with insightful eyes and said, "Master Qin must know the whole story, but he feels that there is something wrong with him." I can't believe it."
"Is that true?"
Qin Hong nodded, looked at the snow-covered palace in the distance, and said, "That's it."
It was quiet all around, and the two of them didn't speak for a long time. It was Su Qingchen's subordinate who came to take orders, which made the two of them move again. Qin Hong pondered for a while and said, "Just like Master Su and I agreed before, We divided into two groups, Mr. Su went to the household department to check the list, and I enforced the curfew and searched from house to house." In fact, the two of them wanted to search from house to house a few days ago, but just looking for a needle based on the appearance of the stone is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack , That's why I gave up, now that I know the name and taboo, it's always much better than before.
Not to mention that Qin Hong and Su Qingchen are working separately here, but the Wuling Hall in the palace is very quiet, there is no sound at all, Ruifu guards the door with an expression on his face, even if his fingers are stiff in the cold, he remains motionless.
The sound of the emperor crumpling the paper into a ball came from the study room, and after a while it was like this... over and over again.
It was gradually getting dark outside, and Ruifu felt a little uneasy thinking that the emperor had spent the whole afternoon in there, and he didn't come out after lunch. It should be almost the same, right? He thought... but he really didn't have the guts to go in and look.
Sure enough, after a while, the emperor came out of the room. The bright yellow luxurious dragon robe shone brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun, making him more handsome and noble, unattainable, but the emperor's complexion was very gloomy, hard The body trembled so frighteningly.
"Your Majesty, Princess Ningguo is asking to see you."
A trace of hostility flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he asked, "What's the matter?"
Ruifu knew at a glance that Princess Ningguo was in trouble, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, and said, "It's still because of the case of Yan Shangshu's embezzlement."
"Hmph." The emperor sneered, his eyes getting darker and colder.
Princess Ningguo is the emperor's younger sister. Her appearance is very similar to that of the late emperor, with slender eyes and a slightly thin face. When the late emperor was around, she was the most beloved princess, even the prince at that time could not compare.
Right now, she is wearing a crimson rose flower beige, a red cloak with a peacock pattern and white fox fur, and a Zhaojun suit. She doesn't dress according to the rank, she is Princess Ningguo..., she is waiting In the cold wind, she thought she would have to wait for a long time, but she saw the emperor's voice within a quarter of an hour.
Princess Ning's eyes moved away from the emperor's deep and bottomless eyes, and looked at the ridge beasts on the eaves. They showed supreme respect under the half-darkness and half-light of the setting sun. Princess Ning suddenly felt that today's The emperor may no longer be the second prince she can call her brother, but the emperor she cannot overstep.
She suddenly became a little uncertain whether it was the right decision for her to come this time.
Ruifu asked the little eunuch to stare at the emperor, and retreated in small steps. The gold bricks in the study were covered with crumpled papers. Ruifu put all the waste papers together, and waited for the maid to come in with the brazier. Put them together and burn them.
In one of the half-opened paper balls, there was a figure drawn by the emperor. It looked like he was going to draw a young girl, but the picture looked like a fat lady selling pies on the street. Ruifu shuddered I remember that the emperor was excellent in everything, but he was not talented in Danqing painting. When the late emperor was still alive, he learned to draw chickens for the first time. At the beginning, the late emperor thought that he was painting stones, and he thought it was very magical. Later, he learned how to paint. It was the chick, who laughed for a long time. Afterwards, many people took this incident as a funny story, and only Ruifu knew... For this reason, the empress called the emperor to kneel for punishment. He knelt for a whole afternoon without dripping water , only said that he had lost royal face.
Thinking of the past, Ruifu couldn't help but sigh more and more. Thinking about the current emperor, everything is cause and effect.
