Chapter 438 The new official took office (4)
A teenage child, so quickly getting started with the affairs of the officialdom, disappointed those who were waiting to see the good show, and can only sigh that His Majesty's insight and wisdom and the Gu family are really talented.

On the other hand, Emperor Xiyue really kept his word and began to hand over some court affairs to Rong Jin.This also made many people who were still paying attention to Mu Qingyi turn their attention to Rong Jin.After all, Gu Liuyun is too insignificant compared to King Yu.

And Rong Jin was so lazy and useless in the past, he actually did the things ordered by Emperor Xiyue very properly, and for a while, invisible gunpowder smoke faintly rose in the hall.

In the study room of Fengtian Mansion Yamen, Mu Qingyi was buried in piles of heavy files.At the window not far from the side, Xia Xiuzhu held a volume of military books and watched intently. It was still cold outside the room and the starry night was dark, but the study was warm and peaceful.

"Ziqing!" Rong Jin's voice came from outside the door.Mu Qingyi raised her head, only to see Rong Jin, dressed in black, walking in with a dusty appearance.

Mu Qingyi raised her head, rubbed her eyebrows and said in surprise, "Where did this go? Why did you come here so soon?"

Rong Jin snorted displeasedly, pulled Mu Qingyi up and said, "The old man asked me to go out of Beijing to do some business, so I went shopping elsewhere. What are you looking at and haven't returned home so late?"

Mu Qingyi smiled and said: "It's nothing, just look at something casually. What's your Majesty thinking? He actually sent you out of Beijing to handle business?" Before, Rong Jin was strictly prevented from getting in touch with political affairs, but now he was directly asked to leave Beijing for business.In the past, Rong Jin was worried, but now he is too relieved.As the saying goes, there must be a demon in every abnormality.

Rong Jin sneered and said, "Didn't we dump someone when we left Beijing last time? The old man must be suspicious. This time, we sent someone to follow me secretly."

"Then what did you do?" Mu Qingyi frowned.Rong Jin smiled and said: "Take them out for a while, here, I went to Qingzhou to buy them for Qingqing." Rong Jin pulled out a little furry thing from under the cloak with a happy expression.

Mu Qingyi took it curiously, looked at it for a while and said hesitantly, "This is... a fox?" It did look like a fox, although it was smaller than ordinary foxes.But this fur color... this fiery red fur color, even the red fox doesn't seem to be so red.

Rong Jin smiled triumphantly: "This is not an ordinary red fox, this is a flame fox, which is only found in the deep mountains of Qingzhou. Look, does it feel warm when hugged? I heard that people with cold body should eat it The meat of this flame fox can improve your physique. Qingqing, do you want to eat it first, and if it works, let's catch it later?"

"Aww..." I don't know if I understood Rong Jin's words, or noticed Rong Jin's unfriendly gaze, the little thing that just arrived in Mu Qingyi's hand immediately yelled and burrowed into Mu Qingyi's arms.Looking at it, Young Master Rong Jiu's eyes flashed coldly, and he showed his white teeth to the little thing, "Seeing that it has traveled so far and is still so energetic, it must taste good."

Mu Qingyi had no choice but to hold the fiery red thing sideways to avoid Rong Jin's gaze and said, "Don't scare it, you went to Qingzhou just to find this?"

Rong Jin shrugged, "I can't do anything else if I want to catch a lot of people. Speaking of which, it's thanks to those people that I was able to catch this little thing."

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyebrows and smiled sullenly, those who were sent by Emperor Xiyue to follow Rong Jin must be very depressed.Nothing was found, not to mention it was used to catch foxes.I don't know what the face of Emperor Xiyue in the palace is like at this time?
Rong Jin lazily sat down in the chair next to him, and asked a little tiredly, "Has there been any movement these days?" It was Xia Xiuzhu who was next to him who asked this question.

Xia Xiuzhu closed the scroll in his hand, and said calmly: "There are a few small characters, so I dismissed them casually."

Rong Jin nodded, with Xia Xiuzhu around, unless they were masters of their level, probably few of them could be called troublesome.If his brothers still have masters of this level, there is no need to send someone to test Qingqing.

Xia Xiuzhu looked at Rong Jin, put away the book in his hand and stood up, "Since the prince is here, I'll go back first."

Seeing Xia Xiuzhu go out, Rong Jin shook his head and said, "Brother Xia seems a bit restrained." Rong Jin didn't really think that he was invincible.It's just that his courtesy refers to people who he likes and who have the strength to make him agree.And Xia Xiuzhu is obviously such a person.

Mu Qingyi was also a little helpless, shaking her head and said: "Xiuzhu grew up in Huaguo, and his relatives and friends are all there. Now he is forced to stay in Xiyue, I'm afraid he is not used to it."

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "I think he is reading military books."

Mu Qingyi looked at him with a half-smile and said: "Xiu Zhu once worshiped the King of Anxi County in Hua Kingdom as his teacher, so he learned more than just martial arts. It's strange to read military books. It's just... you don't intend to take him as a teacher. Take it and accept it, it's not easy."

Xia Xiuzhu seems to be gentle and uncontroversial, and he is at peace with the situation.But he is actually a very stubborn person.Otherwise, with his martial arts, he can live comfortably no matter where he goes, so why bother to trap himself in the Huaguo Palace for so many years in order to repay Huahuang's kindness.Now because of Rong Jin's life-saving grace, she is trapped in Xiyue as her bodyguard.

This kind of person is generally gentle and harmless, but once you violate his bottom line, he can also be stubborn and make you want to smash your head.

Rong Jin walked up to Mu Qingyi, leaned against the arm of the chair, and raised his hand to lift out the little thing that was lurking in her arms, "Give me a little peace of mind, or you will be stewed."

"Aww..." The little Flame Fox was obviously afraid of Rong Jin, struggling frantically in his hands.It's just that with its small appearance, how could it break away from Rong Jin's hand, "Aww..." He could only look at Mu Qingyi pitifully with his big watery eyes.

Women are always very soft-hearted when it comes to cute little animals. Looking at the shiny fiery red hair that seems to have lost its luster, Mu Qingyi patted Rong Jin's hand away with some distress, carefully hugged it into her arms, and stroked it gently. Looking at it, it gradually narrowed its ears and said: "Good boy, don't be afraid..."

"Woo..." The little fox obediently stretched out his little tongue to lick Mu Qingyi's fingers, and rubbed his little fox face against her hand, looking extremely cute and cute.

"Hehe..." Mu Qingyi couldn't help smiling when she saw the little thing's cute appearance.

"Hmph! Qingqing..." Young Master Rong Jiu gritted his teeth, but the gift he gave Qingqing robbed Qingqing of his attention. Does this count as shooting himself in the foot?
Mu Qingyi also knew enough was enough, so as not to really anger someone and take the little fox to stew when she wasn't paying attention.
