I want to be a good minister

Chapter 534

The incense in the house slowly rises, the sweet and soft fragrance of women dispels the coldness in the night sky, this cold winter has gone early, and the sweetness of spring has become more and more soft in these two days, the busy and orderly palace servants in the palace, Cai Yuming Yu was doing the final inspection, since she was away from Ziwei Palace for so many days, it was inevitable that there would be something extra.

For example, the brocade cushion on the chair and stool has a brand-new pattern, and the branches and tendrils are ingenious and labor-intensive. They are hidden in the brocade of the same color, and you can't see it casually, but when you look closely, you have the thought of not wanting to sit on it again.

Caiyu and Mingyu are now the most prestigious aunts in the Ziwei Palace, and they are the two most powerful people around Her Majesty the Holy Maiden. At this moment, they understand that even if it is a small brocade mat, the newly replaced thing is still the one that looks similar. , but the vase has been changed.

All the furnishings of the Ziwei Palace are provided by the Yugong Mansion. It is understandable to replace the brocade cushions with old ones, but once Her Royal Highness agrees to it, then this brocade cushion dealer, who is called the Royal Tribute, has obtained it without knowing it. This is an honorable job.

This business is in the clear, but it is watertight. Even though the Dajing Kingdom is in war and the Bishan Kingdom's rebellion is very urgent, some things are still going on normally without being affected.

The hot spring in Ziwei Palace is drawn from Jindu Mountain, from the spring mouth on the mountainside, all the way down from the mountainside, directly into Ziwei Palace, the spring water is very clear.

"Commander Zong——" Mingyu was the first to notice Zong Xuan who came in, she was slightly taken aback, and immediately knelt down to salute.

Caiyu glanced at Mingyu in surprise, why is he here?

Mingyu shook her head slightly. The four elders personally approved Zong Tong to come to Ziwei Palace. After all, in terms of status and background, Zong Xuan was a member of the Dajing clan. Only then did Zongli be lifted up and become the king.

After so many years, it can indeed be seen that Zong Li is more suitable for the position of Jun Shang.

However, the purpose of the four elders has always been checks and balances, so Caiyu Mingyu's first intuition is that Zongxuan must have received orders from the four elders.

"Where is Your Highness?" Zong Xuan turned his eyes around and asked without seeing anyone.

"Return to Commander, Your Highness is still taking a bath—" Mingyu said, stood up, and brought tea.

That is to say, is Zong Li here?Zong Xuan frowned slightly, although he had confirmed that Zong Li was not there, he was still a little worried.

"Since His Highness is taking a bath, why don't you wait in front of me?" Zong Xuan frowned again, could it be that Zong Li is here?Immediately, his eyes darkened, and the fingers grabbed the armrest tightly.

"Return to Commander, Your Highness doesn't like people serving in front of you, so he sent us out—" Cai Yu replied quickly, fearing that it would cause such a big commotion like last time.

After all, for so many days, they saw that His Highness not only didn't get bored with His Majesty, but even became more and more dependent on him, and his feelings became more and more behind him. Under such circumstances...

Caiyu felt ashamed, and she even didn't want the leader Zong in front of her to ruin such a beautiful picture.

Zong Xuan was taken aback, he didn't want to be served by others?But he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, he thought...

Without waiting for Zongxuan to say anything else, he only heard the sound of footsteps coming from the side hall, his heart tightened, and the vain tension suddenly struck.

"Your Highness—" Cai Yu immediately turned around to meet him.

"Caiyu, bring those booklets here, and put them on the table over there—" Before Caiyu had time to report, Cen Xi had already walked in from the side hall, wearing a soft jacket that was not tied around his waist, and a loose robe. With the movement of her footsteps, she outlined a slender figure, but the woman didn't know it, and let her long black hair like seaweed hang to one side, and wiped her wet long hair with a soft cloth towel in her hand.

Mingyu stepped forward to take it immediately.

"No need, Caiyu, you move the brazier closer and put it on the side of the desk." Cen Xi said, and went directly to the desk, without noticing that there was another person in the hall.

Caiyu glanced at Zongxuan apologetically, His Highness is busy, Commander Zong, why don't you come back another day?
"Chen Zongxuan pays homage to Your Highness..." Zongxuan took two steps forward and bowed respectfully. Cen Xi was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Caiyu Mingyu in some confusion. Why was no one notifying her? Then he remembered that he didn't have any Given the opportunity for Caiyu Mingyu to speak, she said that Caiyu Mingyu looked a little weird today.

"Commander Zong, it's getting late today, what's important, let's talk about it tomorrow—" Cen Xi said, the meeting was naturally a little awkward, it wouldn't be so embarrassing in the court during the day, but now In Ziwei Palace.

Mingyu hurriedly brought the outer robe, and wrapped it around Cen Xi's exquisite figure, leaving only the ankle exposed by the robe, slender and white, right in front of Zongxuan.

"Caiyu, Mingyu, step back first—" Zong Xuan didn't directly answer the woman in front of him, but spoke instead.

Cen Xi was taken aback, and immediately looked at Caiyu and Mingyu, is that okay?
He Zongxuan can actually order her people directly?

Caiyu remained silent, her expression said everything, followed Qi Qi to bow slightly to Cen Xi, and led the people in the hall to leave the hall.

Immediately, only Cen Xi and Zong Xuan who were still kneeling on the ground were left in the hall.

But this time, Cen Xi was much calmer than the first time, after all, he was prepared, right?
However, one unsuccessful attempt did not scare Zongxuan away, so he made a comeback so soon, are you going to try again?

Cen Xi couldn't help looking at the weapon that could be obtained as quickly as possible, and planned to knock the man unconscious before talking when he was unaware.

"Zong Tong should take the lead. Since there is something important, we can talk about it now." Cen Xi asked with a "calm" expression.

"Your Highness, Zong Xuan came here at this moment to plead guilty to His Highness—" Zong Xuan still knelt on the ground and bowed again.

Cen Xi's eyelids twitched, where did this come from?
"Commander Zong, why do you want to apologize?" Even if he didn't want to speak again, Cen Xi still had to speak.

"Zongxuan is not talented, his ability is limited, and he failed His Highness's entrustment." Zongxuan's expression was solemn, and what Cen Xi saw from the surface was only a man pleading guilty in a serious manner.

"Commander Zong, if this is the case, why should we apologize? I owe Commander Zong a word of praise. Commander Zong has worked hard these days and has worked hard." Send jade out.

"Commander Zong, I see your dedication, if nothing else..." Cen Xi said, and was about to open his mouth to let Caiyu Mingyu in, but the brazier hadn't been moved yet.

But Zongxuan stood up, this sudden move made Cen Xi jump, he immediately withdrew his hand, ready to pick up the weapon not far away as quickly as possible, after that, the man really got up, but lifted the brazier at his feet and set it on fire. At Cen Xi's feet beside the desk, a few silver charcoals were added.

"Your Highness, Zongxuan still has something to report. His Highness will go to the southern boundary tomorrow morning. If Zongxuan doesn't say anything at this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance?" Zongxuan squatted on one side without getting up.

Cen Xi felt that there seemed to be a trace of loneliness in the man's words, which seemed a little different from the high-spirited Zong Xuan in the past.

Cen Xi moved away calmly.

"The leader of the sect—"

"Your Highness is the king of my subjects, and Kuang Zongxuan belongs to His Highness just like Zongli. Your Highness calls the Dharma so, and I feel restless, restless, restless, sleeping and eating—" Zongxuan raised his head slightly, his eyes raised half an inch, and only fell on the woman in front of him. On the red flowered jacket, the tone was slightly disappointed.

Cen Xi, who originally wanted to speak out to drive people away, suddenly couldn't speak.

It's not that he is reluctant, but that this Zongxuan is really a headache.
