Free-spirited Illegitimate Son

At this time, at Xie's house, Xie Qian's sedan chair had already been prepared. Early in the morning, the important court official got into the sedan chair and set off for the palace.

At this time, Xie's house is always brightly lit, but the back house is still dark.

In the attic deep in the back house, a small lamp suddenly lit up in the pitch-black attic, and when the window was pushed, the pattering rain would come, and beside the small window, there was a delicate face, The pretty face on her face carried the same melancholy as the weather, her eyes were like stars, and through the dim light, she looked at the light red halo from the lanterns in front of Xie's house, and a group of servants who got up early crowded around the sedan chair , slowly heading in the direction of the Forbidden City.

Wang Jingchu leaned on the window sill and looked away.

There was a figure lingering in her mind, so she sat down, and a maid brought her a bowl of lotus seed soup, and said: "Miss, you haven't slept all night, take a rest, Ye Gongziji People have their own nature, and there will be nothing wrong."

Wang Jingchu pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, but this smile couldn't conceal the worry deep in her eyes. She parted her red lips and said, "Well, you should go to rest earlier, I...wait here.",

She sat with her legs curled up, eating the lotus seed soup, chewing slowly, her eyes lowered, as if she was looking at the silver soup in the bowl, listening to the rustling of the rain outside, she lost her mind for a moment.

…………

The weather gradually cleared up, the sky turned white, and a fast horse seemed to pierce the tranquility of the morning after the rain.

Da da……

The horse stopped in front of a small courtyard, which was a remote courtyard in the inner city. It looked very simple, and could even be described as dilapidated.

The rider turned over and got off the horse, and tied the rope to the wooden post in front of the firewood gate. He was dressed in a fish suit, with a burly figure, and a soft Fanyang hat on his head. The rough face is not Qian Qian from Jin Yiwei Baihu, who is it?

Qian Qian pushed the door open and entered, shouting: "Lao Deng, Lao Deng, what the hell are you dawdling about? Your ass is on fire, are you still going to the court? What the hell, today It's time for you to play, why are you dawdling like this, Spring and Autumn depends entirely on you."

Deng Jian had already put on a black gauze hat and an official uniform. He was all dressed up, and he was squatting under the eaves, eating steamed buns with rice porridge. He looked up at Qian Qian, and muttered, "Wait a minute!" , I haven't filled my stomach yet, don't worry, the Meridian Gate doesn't open so fast, why are you in a hurry?"

Qian Qian stomped his feet angrily: "Why don't you rush, haven't you heard the news? Chunqiu is going to suffer, this is a serious crime of copying a family and destroying a family, if someone..."

Deng Jian shook his head and said: "Hey, so you are a rough person... What do you know, although there are black sheep in the court, don't there still be Zhongliang? With Zhongliang in the court, what are you afraid of?"

Qian Qian said angrily: "If there is Zhongliang, how can this world be like this? Look, you talk about Zhongliang, Zhongliang every day, but I see that the people are still hungry and naked."

Deng Jian got angry, put down the cornbread, and said angrily: "Wow...how can it be so serious, although today is not very holy, but it still loves the people, let it go, I will talk to you after I finish eating this cornbread. "

After finally pulling Deng Jian out of the house, Qian Qian let him ride the horse and led him in the front. Qian Qian repeatedly asked: "This is not a joke, Chunqiu and we both came from the south all the way, right? Always take care of each other, oh, a few days ago, the great monk of Guangji Temple told me that I bumped into a nobleman. This nobleman is Wenquxing. It also depends on luck, this luck is the most important..."

"What? You still gave the money... Who did you give the money to?" Deng Jian, who was riding on the horse, felt that his stomach was still a little empty, rubbed his stomach, narrowed his eyes, and the imperial censor's instinct made him aware of something.

Qian Qian, who came to his senses all of a sudden, quickly kept his mouth shut and stopped talking.

…………

The Meridian Gate has been opened, and hundreds of officials file in.

It cleared up after the rain, but the ground was still wet, the official boots were already wet, and the bells and drums on the city tower sounded. The leader, Liu Jian, had a serious face and led all the officials to the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.

Everyone stood still in shifts, and there was no sound in the hall.

Ye Chunqiu stood in the crowd, looking very inconspicuous, but there were still many people secretly looking at him.

He seemed to be very calm in his heart, but his eyes kept falling on Xueshi Zhu who was not far away.

Jiao Huangzhong didn't come today, and he is still detained in the Ministry of Rites.

But when Xueshi Zhu entered the palace, Ye Chunqiu had been noticing him all the time, Ye Chunqiu really hated this person to the bone, but at this moment he didn't show his face, and only hid his killing intent in his heart.

Zhu Dehai seemed to have sensed a malicious look, so he turned his head and saw Ye Chunqiu, and smiled slightly, with a look of indifference.

At this time, Liu Jin entered the hall slowly, holding a whisk in his hand, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty is ill. For today's court meeting, I invite you to discuss the government by yourself. Come here, and give seats to a few senior and virtuous officials."

These are all old rules, the so-called seniority and morality do not mean that the elderly are really allowed to sit here, there are not many people who can sit here, only a few elders, and ministers from various ministries.

So a little eunuch moved to Jindun, and the cabinet ministers and the ministries sat down in a clear way, and another eunuch poured a cup of tea for each of them. Don't drink, just sit leisurely.

Below him is Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang lowered his head and lifted the tea cover to blow the foam in the tea, as if he had nothing to do with the matter in front of him.

And next, it was Xie Qian. Xie Qian stared at Jiao Fang and the others opposite without showing any signs of expression.

Others sitting on the side were Zhao Yan and other Shangshu. They had different expressions, but they all seemed to have discussed it, showing unusual calmness.

Facing them were Jiao Fang, Zhang Cairen, etc. Liu Jin also stood by Jiao Fang's side with a smile.

Jiao Fang didn't care about Xie Qian's gaze, and seemed calm, as if she didn't care about her son's life or death at all.

Zhang Cai had a smile on his face, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at His Highness's ministers, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Jin's face was stiff, and his eyes were looking back and forth, but the smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel cold.

No one spoke, and needles could be heard in the hall, and these princes who were supposed to stand up and preside over the court discussions, all of them remained silent now.

It's just that everyone showed a relaxed look, and they didn't care about each other.

But... the silence was finally broken.

Someone came out of the class slowly, came to the hall, and said, "I have something to play."
