Since being kicked out of the business, Zhu Houzhao has not paid much attention to the business. He is willing to be a chairman who earns a large salary every month, basically becoming a salted fish.

It's just like being a salted fish, but he actually picked up that bullshit magical skill again.

The weather was getting warmer and warmer. There was a desk at the door of Ciqing Palace, and there were books on the desk. Zhu Houzhao was wearing a single suit, carrying two buckets, and was reading there while riding a horse.

Xia Yuan had no intention of teaching him, so he slept on the recliner and let him play with himself there.

After a few months, I thought this kid had forgotten about the magic skill, but who knew that he would actually think of it again.

Practice, practice, and once you master this magical power, you will become a ghost.

As he was lying down, Liu Jin came over with a pot of tea, with a flattering smile on his face: "Master Xia, you must be thirsty because of the sun. Have some tea. I know your taste. I brewed it."

I deliberately added some sugar to it."

Liu Jin, as the head eunuch in the East Palace, had some sinister thoughts about the homework.

As a result, he was stabbed with a flying knife. Not only was he scared to death, but it also made the prince trust him more and more. Now, the two of them are as good as wearing a pair of trousers.

Liu Jin was jealous to death, but the experiences these days had also broken many things.

Especially since he was imprisoned in that prison a few days ago, he thought he would be confessed there.

As a result, because he made a lot of money from the sugar business, the emperor Long Yan was so happy that he was released.

This is barely a life-saving grace.

He also recognized his own identity, that he was a slave and a servant.

Why bother with others? We can't afford to offend them.

Anyway, it’s right to have low eyebrows to please your eyes.

Xia Yuan took the tea but didn't drink it in a hurry. Looking at his flattering smile, he couldn't help but frown, and asked with some worry: "You didn't poison it, did you?"

The smile on Liu Jin's face froze, "What did you say?"

"It's not that I don't worry about you, I'm just asking. I've earned too much money recently. Poor people like you may not understand the worries of rich people. Rich people are very insecure and feel that everything is dangerous."

Having said this, Xia Yuan paused and asked again: "You haven't been poisoned, right?"

"How dare I poison you? Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare."

"You didn't put away any unclean things?"

"No."

"real?"

"real."

"Then you swear." Xia Yuan was just about to make the damn eunuch swear a poisonous oath. Zhu Houzhao over there put the bucket on the ground and shouted over here: "Liu Banban, give me a cup of tea too."

Come here, I'm dying of thirst."

"Hey, I have prepared it for you. I just saw that Your Highness was studying, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

Saying that, Liu Jin hurriedly picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and trotted over to bring it to escape from this place.

Zhu Houzhao took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then said: "What are you studying, I am practicing martial arts."

"My slave deserves to die. I said the wrong thing. Your Highness, you are practicing magical skills, not studying."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had finished drinking, Xia Yuan took the cup of tea and drank it. Yes, he admitted that he was really worried about the dead eunuch.

This comes from the stereotype of Liu Jin, the famous leader of the Eight Tigers, a notorious bad guy among eunuchs, and a person as famous as Wei Zhongxian.

I instinctively felt that this was a very bad eunuch, not a good person at all.

Not to mention that the two of them had some nasty issues before, and he even threw throwing knives at others.

At this moment, several eunuchs came over, leading an older palace maid behind them. She looked to be about fifty years old. At this age, she couldn't be called a palace maid, she had to be called a nanny.

She blessed Zhu Hou's body and said, "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao seemed to know this nanny. As soon as he lifted the bucket, he put it down again. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing here in this palace? Did your mother ask you to come?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the Queen Mother asked the servant to invite Xia Xima to go to Kunning Palace."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, "Looking for the master?"

Xia Yuan was also stunned, "Looking for me?"

"What does the queen want from the master?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, this slave will not know."

After saying that, the nun turned to look at Xia Yuan and saw that he was still sitting on the recliner. She frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "I came here with Yi's order, please Xia Xima to leave quickly and follow me."

Come on, don’t keep the Queen waiting in a hurry.”

"Then let's go."

——————————————

Kunning Palace is the queen's dormitory. As a foreign minister and a male, Xia Yuan didn't know whether it was in line with the rules for him to go there, but he didn't ask the nun who was leading the way.

Nothing else, I just feel uncomfortable looking at this old lady.

Her old face was covered with white powder, and the powder fell off every time she spoke. There was a hint of arrogance in her expression, as if she was a queen.

Such people are the most disgusting.

I really want to slap her with a big dick to cause some more psychological damage to her.

In Kunning Palace, there is a gauze curtain, and you can vaguely see a woman wearing palace clothes sitting inside.

He couldn't see his face clearly through the curtain, but after a brief glance, Xia Yuan looked away, and bowed politely: "I met the Queen when I was washing my horse at the Economic Bureau."

"Hurry up and get free."

"Thank you, Queen."

Xia Yuan thanked her and straightened up again. Although he couldn't see clearly what the queen looked like, her voice sounded quite soft, with a hint of a royal sister.

After a moment of silence, Empress Zhang lightly opened her red lips and said with a chuckle: "Xia Xima, I have often heard your majesty and the prince mention you, and I have always wanted to see what you look like. Now I finally got my wish.

She is young and tight, and seems to be only a few years older than the prince."

Xia Yuan now doubts whether the curtain is one-way, only blocking his side of the line of sight, but not the Queen's side. Otherwise, how could the phrase "get what you want" come out?

"I heard from Your Majesty that you are the number one scholar in Jinke, and you still won three yuan in a row. Although I am a womanizer, I also know what kind of person this person is, and you can win three yuan in a row at a young age like Xia Xima. You are truly a talented young man."

"I am ashamed."

"."

After a pause, Empress Zhang continued: "I never ask about the affairs of the outer dynasty, but I know a little about Xia Xima's affairs. Just based on the merit of this prince's study, I should be grateful.

Please tell me, this matter is the biggest headache for Your Majesty and me. As a prince, he doesn’t like to study."

Listening to the queen talking non-stop on the other side of the curtain, all praising herself, Xia Yuan accepted it calmly, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is this queen the leader of the Kua Kua Cult in the Ming Dynasty?

He waited silently for the queen to finish her praise. Before the next wave came, Xia Yuan asked first, "I wonder why the queen summoned the ministers here?"

"."

After a long silence, Queen Zhang finally said: "I heard that Xia Xima and the palace teamed up to make a deal?"

PS: Sorry, there are only two updates today. The reason is that I have to accompany my family for a minor surgery and I have to go to Xi'an to stay with the patient. It is expected to be about five days.

I don’t have any manuscripts in hand. If I update four times today, there may be no updates tomorrow.

I don’t want to stop updating, so I will update twice in the past few days. I carry my notebook with me. If conditions permit, I will try to update three times. In short, I will resume four updates before February 10th.
Chapter completed!
