Chapter 441 What’s so strange about your place
“Wei Chen Qiu is late! Please punish me!”
Before Emperor Long Qing could stop smiling, he saw a figure wrapped in The cold air outside came in and knelt beside the door.
The courtier's thoughtfulness once again pleased the already happy emperor.
Xiahou Jie didn't care that Qiu was late late at night. He waved to him and greeted him with a smile: "Qiu Aiqing, come and sit here."
Kneel down and kowtow. Qiu Suan quickly glanced at his old father when he stood up.
Seeing the old Duke secretly nodding, he plucked up the courage to kneel and move to the side step by step. He picked up the jug with great foresight and waited for the monarch and his ministers to play chess.
Xiahou Jie was very pleased with his flattery.
The father and son cooperated perfectly, coaxing the emperor out of the palace late at night to relieve his boredom.
Qiu Shuan was enjoying drinking with his friends at Mingfang in Xicheng when suddenly someone came to his house. Without saying a few words, he scared away all the drinking bugs on his body.
I didn't even have time to talk to my friends. I left the delicious food and the beautiful dancers behind, got into the car, and hurried home all the way.
On the way, there was a cold wind blowing, which made me feel faint in the car.
In the carriage, I didn’t know how many times I wiped my body inside and out before I finally relieved the smell of alcohol on my body. I slapped my cheek hard, just to clear my head and clear my head. a little.
On the way back home, I didn’t know how many times I asked the servants about the state of the emperor when he came. When he heard the emperor’s face was gloomy, he was so frightened that Qiu felt as if he was beating a drum all the way back. The sound keeps ringing!
Looking at his head, trying to remember, is there anything he didn't notice in the court recently? Or among the cases currently handled by the Criminal Department, which one is likely to cause problems?
I think about it so much that my head is going to explode.
Until the carriage stopped at the door of his house, Qiu, even though his brain was paralyzed by alcohol tonight, he still couldn't figure it out.
Irritated!
Everyone in the house was in high spirits because of the late night pick-up.
When I came here on the way, I grabbed the servant who was coming back from delivering the things and asked about it.
"Can Mr. Wei come along for the fight tonight?"
"Eunuch Wei is guarding the corridor."
Qiu Suan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that Wei Xi was accompanying him, and immediately asked his attendant Hurry to the warehouse and get a few fine things and a bag of gold.
With General Manager Wei here, Qiu Suan finally felt a little more confident.
While Qiu Guogong was accompanying the driver inside to discuss matters, Qiu Suan had been waiting outside the door early and quietly expressed his goodwill to Wei Xi first.
Seeing this, Wei Xi curled his eyes and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty is discussing business with the Duke. Why don't you, Sir, wait a moment and wait for me to report to you later?"
Qiu Suan wants it!
Hands over again and again, silent thanks!
At this time, only Wei Xi's help can find a suitable time to go in and meet the saint.
So Qiu stood outside in the cold for a while longer.
I don’t know whether Emperor Longqing knew that there were courtiers “standing guard” outside. Just when he was in a happy mood, Wei Xi came over and announced.
Recalling the whole thrilling process of running back all the way and now serving the king in front of the chessboard.
Qiu Suan could even hear his heartbeat at this moment.
Dong dong dong——
Emperor Long Qing glanced at him lightly.
Qiu’s neck felt so stiff!
"Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing, who has come back to meet you."
Qiu Suan kowtowed, his voice trembling slightly, "I am scared!"
Xia Houjie glanced at him and could only see his head that wanted to lie down on the couch, his eyes darkened.
“The wine in winter seems to be very fragrant. I can smell the aroma even sitting here. I wonder which winery it comes from?”
Qiu Shuan really wanted to nod wildly!
Still unable to hide it from the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die."
Xiahou Jie chuckled.
"Get back on your feet."
How dare Qiu move. The old Duke looked at the emperor's intention and saw Xiahou Jie nodded. Then he felt relieved and said to his son Qiu: "Why don't you thank the Lord for your kindness? If the emperor asks you to get up, just get up."
Qiu Suan raised his head carefully and glanced at his old father.
Sure enough, he saw the old man give him a "reassuring" look.
Then he lay on the ground, raised his head and asked the emperor again what he meant.
Xiahou Jie laughed and scolded: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life!"
Obviously he has been promoted to the Minister of Justice, but his son's trembling appearance is really embarrassing for the old Duke. Seeing that, he could only turn around and continue playing chess with Emperor Longqing.
There is one more person in the room.
Especially another imperial official who had just returned from Huajie Liuxiang.
Xia Houjie's interest in playing chess was obviously not high anymore.
On the contrary, he was more interested in Qiu Suan going out to play tonight.
Although there is a curfew in Daliang Capital, the curfew is not that strict. Emperor Longqing knew privately that many courtiers in the court liked to sleep on flowers and willows.
It's just that when he went to court, he looked like a dog, but he was very upright in front of him.
Being bored tonight, he suddenly became curious about what was interesting about the place where Qiu Suan went.
Qiu Shuan broke into a cold sweat when he was questioned by the emperor.
How should he answer this question correctly?
For a moment, Qiu Shuang pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.
Looking frequently at his backbone, his old father, Mr. Qiu Guogong.
Qiu Guogong frowned slightly.
Since the emperor has asked questions, just say, do you see what use I am!
Qiu Suan didn't speak for a long time, and Xiahou Jie saw that his face suddenly turned pale.
He laughed lightly: "I forgive you for your innocence, go ahead."
Seeing that his old father didn't care about him, Qiu Guan thought about the consequences of not answering, so he bit the bullet and said. .
"Your Majesty, the minister has been dealing with the Zhangzhou transfer envoy corruption case tonight. He was so busy late at night that he went to the song studio with a few friends to listen to music and relax before eating."
Speaking of this, Qiu Suan suddenly stopped talking.
"What? Keep talking."
Emperor Long Qing looked as if he was really interested in Qiu Suan's trip tonight.
"Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. Yesterday, a group of dancing girls from the Western Regions entered the song and dance studio. They were very beautiful, so...so..."
"Oh?"
Xiahou Jie couldn't help turning his head to look at him when he heard this.
“From the Western Regions?”
Qiu Suan glanced at Duke Qiu, who avoided his gaze.
Qiu Suan could only nod and replied truthfully: "Back to the emperor, that's right!"
Xiahou Jie frowned slightly when he heard this.
But it opened in a moment.
On the other hand, he slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? How about the dance music? Is it pleasing to the eye?"
Qiu Suan nodded repeatedly: "Very good! The singing and dancing are exquisite, it can be called It is now the best in Beijing!”
People who drink too much can easily lose control of their minds due to excitement once they talk about exciting topics.
The old Duke secretly said in his heart: Not good!
Immediately after the next sentence, I saw the king sitting opposite turn his body and face Qiu Suan:
"Since it is so good, you can take me there to feast my eyes on it. ”
