Xie Shizi's shameless daily life
Chapter 70 Chapter 70
The imperial city was heavily guarded, and the sound of horse footsteps gradually approached. The soldiers guarding the city saw that the person on the horse was Xie Jin, the son of Duke Xian, and immediately opened the heavy city gate.
The gatekeeper opened a path for Xie Jin to ride his horse through the city gate.
The people on the tower shouted: "Xie Jin, the prince of the Duke of Xian's Mansion, has entered the palace to be conferred a title!"
"Xie Jin, the prince of the Duke of Xian's Mansion, entered the palace to be conferred a title!"
"Xie Jin, the prince of the Duke of Xian's Mansion, entered the palace to be conferred a title!"
It was not until we passed the tall and long Imperial Road that the loud shouts gradually subsided.
Outside Jinluan Hall.
A man was rubbing his hands, walking back and forth, and looking out. A closer look revealed that the man had put on makeup powder, which only girls would put on. His face was a little whiter than that of an ordinary man.
The man's eyes that were looking out suddenly brightened, and he clapped his hands on his thighs softly like a little girl, and took small steps forward to meet her.
"Oh, my ancestor! Why did you come just now? The emperor and all the ministers have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Xie Jin smiled apologetically: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
The two of them went up the stairs together. Wang He whispered behind Xie Jin, "The emperor just lost his temper and is still in a bad mood."
Xie Jin turned around with a smile and bowed to him respectfully: "Thank you, eunuch, for the reminder."
When Xie Jin finished bowing and was about to raise his body, Eunuch Wang put his hands on his arms and kept saying, "No, no, please don't bring trouble to our family, my prince."
Xie Jin smiled and said nothing. He took out a palm-sized wooden box from his bosom and handed it to Eunuch Wang: "I heard that Eunuch Wang has been looking for the Night Pearl of the East China Sea. It happened that I went to the south of the Yangtze River recently and got this Night Pearl by accident. It would be a waste to keep it here. After thinking about it again and again, it is most appropriate to leave it with you, Eunuch Wang."
Wang He waved his hands repeatedly: "We can't bear it, we can't bear it."
Xie Jin stuffed the box into his hands: "If you don't accept it, I will throw it away later."
Eunuch Wang looked at Xie Jin with an embarrassed look on his face, but he finally took the box and said, "Then we will respectfully obey your command and accept it shamelessly."
The two of them came to the front of the hall. Eunuch Wang folded his hands in front of him and shouted in a shrill voice: "Xie Jin, the prince of the Duke of Xian's Mansion, is here to see you."
After Eunuch Wang finished his report, he came to Xie Jin and whispered, "When the emperor loses his temper, the people around him should go along with him. His Majesty is a reasonable person, and he won't blame you too much."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for the suggestion."
As soon as Xie Jin entered the hall, a thick memorial flew straight towards him.
Xie Jin didn't dodge, and the memorial hit him hard on the head.
"You still remember to come, why don't you wait until after the Chinese New Year!"
Xie Jin immediately knelt on his knees and prostrated himself on the ground: "I deserve to die!"
"Oh, why don't you tell me where you deserve to die?"
A bright yellow robe appeared in front of Xie Jin's eyes: "I am guilty. I shouldn't have missed the day of entering the palace to be granted a title in order to suppress the bandits."
"I deserve death for my crime!"
"You eliminated the bandits?"
"Yes, when I was in Jiangnan, I found that women kept disappearing for no reason. I became suspicious and asked my subordinates to pay more attention. Sure enough, there was indeed a group of bandits persecuting innocent women."
"As a subject of your majesty, I have the responsibility to protect the people's peace, so I led people to wipe out the gang's lair. When I returned to the capital, I was retaliated by the people behind them and almost lost my life. Fortunately, your majesty has blessed the world and allowed me to escape this disaster."
"You do know how to say it"
Xie Jin leaned forward and raised his voice: "Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart, I dare not say even a single word falsely!"
The compelling gaze shifted away from Xie Jin, and a voice without any emotion sounded above his head: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xie Jin stood up and glanced at the handsome face of the man on the dragon throne. After just one glance, he lowered his head respectfully.
The emperor glanced to the side and the eunuch beside him immediately took two steps forward.
He said loudly: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Today, Xie Jin, the son of the Duke of Xian, has guarded the border for four years and has made great contributions in resisting the enemy. He is hereby granted the rank of Fifth Grade Infantry School. I decree this!"
Xie Jin kowtowed: "Thank you for your grace! Long live the emperor!"
The ministers followed closely behind: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
After the court session ended, a group of officials gathered around Xie Jin to congratulate him.
"Military Officer Xie Bu is indeed a rare talent. He is a fifth-rank official at such a young age."
"That's right, our dynasty is full of talented people, and Xie Bu Military Academy is the best among them!"
"congratulations"
At this time, one of the officials used brute force to squeeze in front of Xie Jin from the outside and looked at him with a big smile on his face: "Xie nephew, do you still remember your uncle? When my Yu Jin was young, he studied with you in Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
Xie Jin bowed to him: "Uncle Wang."
Hearing this uncle, Wang Qizhang laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared, and he kept saying, "Hey, hey."
Wang Qizhang looked at him lovingly: "Yu Jin, we haven't seen each other for many years. Remember to walk around more often when you have time. Don't forget the friendship we had when we were young."
Xie Jin didn't respond either yes or no, just smiled at him.
Wang Qizhang didn't care and continued to find topics to highlight the special relationship between him and Xie Jin: "Xie nephew, do you have time later? Come to your uncle's house and chat? Your uncle will use some of my treasured wine to celebrate for you."
Xie Jin: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but I just came back from Jiangnan and I can't leave because of the things I have on hand."
Wang Qizhang opened his mouth to say something else, but suddenly a shrill voice interrupted him.
"Xie Bu, the emperor has summoned you to the Qianqing Palace for an audience!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wang He looking at them with a smile on his face.
When everyone saw that the person coming was the king and the eunuch beside the emperor, they quickly made way for Xie Jin to get out of the crowd.
Wang Qizhang was the first to speak: "Thank you, nephew. Come on, don't bother with us old men anymore. It's important to see the emperor!"
Xie Jin smiled apologetically at the officials, and then walked out with Wang He. Looking at Xie Jin's back, some of the ministers praised his extraordinary appearance, while others were jealous and thought to themselves that they would definitely treat their bastard son to a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat when they returned home tonight. It was fine if their useless and rebellious son was not half as knowledgeable as others, and his achievements were not as high as others, but he was not even one-third as good-looking as others. This was really intolerable and there was no need to endure it anymore!
It's over!
At night, sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were heard in various mansions.
The three-year-old child asked innocently, "Dad, are there wolves in the city?"
The tall father picked up the little girl and said, "Dear, these older brothers are just imitating the wolf howl in the middle of the night because they are bored."
Those young men who were beaten by their fathers until their buttocks were bruised and lying on the bed with tears in their eyes all thought sadly, I haven't caused any trouble during this period. Could it be that my father has made me accustomed to beating me, and he feels itchy when he doesn't beat me for a while?
Xie Jin followed Wang He to the Qianqing Palace, where people were standing with their hands behind their backs.
Xie Jin bowed to the person in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The person in front of him just had his back to him, staring at the big words "An" hanging on the wall.
Xie Jin knelt on the ground in a straight line. After a long while, a faint voice rang out: "Military Officer Xie Bu, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You were attacked when you returned to Beijing from Jiangnan this time. Can you find out who was behind it?"
"I am incompetent. I have not yet found out who is behind this."
"Keep investigating. The capital won't tolerate such parasites!"
After a pause, he continued, "After you find this person, bring him to me first."
Xie Jin's eyes flashed: "I obey your order!"
The emperor waved his hand to ask everyone to leave, and when they were alone in the hall, Emperor Qin turned around with a smile.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I almost didn't recognize you today."
"Today in the court, I recognized Your Majesty at first sight."
"Perhaps your Majesty is so busy that he has forgotten me, and that is why he failed to recognize me."
Qin Su smiled silently, looked at his tense handsome face, and shook his head: "You are so old, but you are still so childish."
"The reason why I almost didn't recognize you is because Jin'er has become more charming and beautiful. When you came back, most of the men in Shangjing were outshined by you."
Xie Jin's ears were red and his mind was wandering. How could Zhao Shu not recognize him on the first day he returned to Beijing? Was it because he was becoming more and more handsome?
Emperor Qin looked at the man who had been silent for a long time and asked tentatively, "Why, did you think of someone? Did that person almost fail to recognize you like I did?"
Xie Jin withdrew his thoughts, glanced at him lightly, and said nothing.
"If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will take my leave now."
"Hey, you haven't told me who you were thinking of just now!"
Xie Jin walked quickly, ignoring the calls from the people behind him, and walked straight out of the Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Qin looked at his back as he ran away, and cursed with a smile: "It's been so many years, and you still haven't changed your stubbornness."
Wang Yujin looked towards the direction of the imperial city anxiously. Huaer followed her daughter's gaze and asked in confusion, "Girl, what are you looking at?"
Not seeing the person he was thinking of, Wang Yujin looked away disappointedly: "Nothing."
"Girl, you've been looking at this hairpin for a long time. Do you want to buy it or not?"
"If you don't want to buy, just go away and don't block my business!"
Wang Yujin blushed, and glanced around the stage in panic. He picked up a hairpin and whispered, "Hua'er, pay."
The vendor smiled when he saw this, and slapped her in the face: "Five taels of silver."
Hua'er frowned: "Five taels of silver! Boss, is this hairpin of yours inlaid with gold?!"
The smile on the vendor's face fell: "If you can't afford it, just tell me, go away, don't block my business!"
Wang Yujin looked at the eyes cast towards her from all directions and gritted her teeth in embarrassment: "Hua'er, pay!"
"The girl has been with us for a month."
"Pay!"
Huaer knew that she couldn't persuade her girl, so she could only take out her wallet helplessly.
Seeing that the boss's face was polite to her again, Wang Yujin's expression improved a lot. She glanced casually to the side, and then she was stunned.
Without waiting for others to react, he ran into the crowd.
"girl!"
Hua'er started to chase after him without saying anything, but the vendor quickly grabbed her and said, "Give me money!"
Huaer anxiously felt for her purse, but couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
The boss narrowed his eyes at her and asked, "Want to default on your debt?"
Hua'er blushed and shook her head: "Boss, our money was stolen. Can I go back and get the money first? I will pay you after I get the money?"
"Or, or you can come back with me to get it."
The boss didn't believe her at all. He turned around and called two of his companions to keep an eye on her, and then chased in the direction Wang Yujin left.
