I should tease you more often in the future. Seeing such moving scenery more times will really increase your longevity!
The prince was actually quite reluctant to let him go. When Zhao Xiaole grabbed her with his hot and powerful palm, she felt her heart pounding.
strangeness!
I used to be put on ointment by him every day, why didn't I feel this way?
What happened this time?
The prince stamped his foot anxiously, "Slave dog, I'll show you a good look next time!"
After that, he left angrily.
Zhao Xiaole chuckled, but felt a little disappointed in his heart. As more and more beauties were around him, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
What's even more annoying is that the prince actually stepped in and transferred Qin Sining to him. Isn't this a long way from getting married?
well!
Zhao Xiaole could only find some advantages in the prince to compensate himself a little!
When he looked back, he found that Qin Sining's face had turned completely dark.
"Does her hand feel comfortable?"
"It's not as comfortable as your hands."
Zhao Xiaole stepped forward to catch him, but Qin Sining dodged it as expected, "I'm going back to sleep!"
After she finished speaking, she left, leaving Zhao Xiaole alone and sighing, "Let's see how the little girls outside are doing!"
Zhao Xiaole shook his head and walked out, only to find that the fireworks outside had stopped and everyone was gone.
"How?"
"All the people celebrating the New Year ran away without saying a word?"
"This year has been really..."
Looking at the dumplings on the dining table, Zhao Xiaole's thoughts traveled through time and space and returned to the lively New Year's Eve of that era.
After reminiscing for a moment, Zhao Xiaole took a breath and walked to the room.
In the dim corridor, a figure suddenly appeared, and it turned out to be Qin Sining carrying a wooden basin.
Zhao Xiaole was stunned and said with a smile: "Si Ning? Why did you come to my room so late at night? Could it be that you can't wait any longer...?"
Qin Sining spat, "You're talking nonsense, I'm bringing you foot-washing water to save you from smelling your feet!"
"Just let the servants do this!" Zhao Xiaole laughed, put his arms around her waist and walked into the house.
This wife is so considerate!
Obviously what servants can do, you have to do it yourself!
Hey, what a blessing!
In fact, after what happened to the prince, Qin Sining was worried that Zhao Xiaole was hiding in the golden house, so he found an excuse to come to check the room!
No matter what, don't let other little cowards take this first bite.
After the two entered the house, Qin Sining glanced around the quiet room and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that I have misunderstood.
Zhao Xiaole also guessed a bit of her thoughts, and said with a smile while undressing: "I think you are still jealous, today the prince..."
Then when he walked to the clothes rack, he was stunned.
I saw two women hiding behind the clothes rack, it was Green Ant and Hong Ni. They obviously heard Qin Sining's voice and hid.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Sining heard a confused voice.
"nothing."
Zhao Xiaole naturally put the clothes on the hangers, covering the figures of the green ants and red mud.
"If you have nothing to do, come and wash your feet!" Qin Sining said with a suspicious look.
"OK."
Zhao Xiaole let out a long breath and sat on the bed, but as soon as he sat on it, he felt something was wrong.
There's someone else on the bed!
If it was an assassin, Suzaku should have warned him in advance!
Could it be...
He quietly reached into the quilt and touched it, and soon, a weak, boneless palm took the initiative to touch it.
Zhao Xiaole had already touched it carefully for a while and almost understood in his mind that this was Wang Chaoyun's hand.
This little girl, why is she here again after not sleeping in the middle of the night?
"What happened to you?"
"The water will get cold if you don't wash it!"
Qin Sining's face became more and more suspicious.
Zhao Xiaole reluctantly grinned, "Nothing? I'll wash it right away!"
He took off his shoes and socks and quickly put his feet in. He just wanted to finish washing them as soon as possible and drive them away. If Qin Sining found out about this.
Don’t worry about it this Chinese New Year.
Two splashes.
Zhao Xiaole rinsed his hands in the water and quickly stretched out his hand, "I've finished washing, get the water quickly!"
"Did you wash it too fast?" Qin Sining pressed his feet in again, "Let me help you wash it!"
"No, no, my feet don't stink!"
Qin Sining held his feet and rubbed them, "You still say it doesn't stink? It almost stuns me!"
As if in response to these words, there was a sudden sound and a thump under Zhao Xiaole's bed.
Zhao Xiaole felt bad immediately.
Why is there someone under the bed?
At the same time, the sound of washing feet also stopped. Qin Sining was stunned for a moment, "What was that sound just now?"
"No? I didn't hear the sound?"
"I just heard a noise under the bed, didn't you feel it?"
"Did you hear wrongly?"
"Impossible, the sound just now was very obvious, I could hear it clearly!" Qin Sining glanced under the bed.
"Is there someone hiding down there?"
"Stop making trouble. It's Chinese New Year. How could someone be hiding down there?" Zhao Xiaole advised.
"Hmph, I want to take a look!"
Qin Sining wiped his hands and went to get a candle from the table. Seeing this opportunity, Zhao Xiaole quickly patted the bed board.
"What are you doing?" Qin Sining has returned with a candle.
"Nothing? I guess there may be a kitten hidden or something. If you pat it twice, it will come out on its own!"
Qin Sining glared at him, swayed the candle under the head of the bed, and looked at the shadow.
The candle illuminated the darkness, and there was indeed nothing under Zhao Xiaole's bed.
Qin Sining got up with the candle and saw Zhao Xiaole's relieved expression.
"You seem very worried!"
"How is that possible? You don't know who I, Zhao Xiaole, am? How can you dare to do such things?"
Zhao Xiaole immediately became unhappy.
It seemed that the person under the bed was quite clever. After hearing his hint, he ran away decisively.
Zhao Xiaole had to give her a thumbs up.
"Sining, go back and rest quickly. Staying up late is bad for your body and appearance, so go quickly!"
Qin Sining nodded and said, "Well, I feel relieved knowing that there is no one in your room."
Zhao Xiaole chuckled,
"Sining, who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who eats from a bowl and looks at the pot?"
Seeing that Qin Sining believed a little, Zhao Xiaole continued: "Hiding people? It is impossible to hide people in this life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sweet shout, "Oh!"
The clothes hanger fell to the ground with a crash, revealing three women pushing each other behind. In addition to the green ants and red mud, there was now a thirty-year-old woman who had just crawled over.
Before Qin Sining could react, Wang Chaoyun came out from under the quilt and asked, "What happened?"
Just at this moment, Li Qingque happened to appear at the door. When she saw what was going on behind the scenes, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't say it out loud.
Chapter 238 Public Opinion Attack
After the New Year, more and more candidates gathered in the imperial capital.
In addition to looking for connections, he was also busy taking exams. However, after the gathering of talented people, they naturally had to recite poems and compete in a romantic competition.
It's the festive season, and within just a few days, many good terms and phrases have become popular in the imperial capital, including some who are astoundingly talented and beautiful.
This can't help but make countless people sigh.
There are so many talented people this year like carps crossing the river.
Such a prosperous world has never happened in several generations.
It was also on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year that Qin Sining entered the palace, accompanied by Zhao Xiaole with a look of relief on his face.
These past few days, he was almost being harassed to death.
No matter how smart he was, he never expected that so many people would hide in his room on New Year's Eve.
The purpose is just to get ahead and get good luck in the coming year.
If you want to wish for good luck, shouldn't you burn incense?
What's the use of running to my room?
Under normal circumstances, this is really a blessing for everyone!
However, as an eunuch, Zhao Xiaole had a hard time!
Qin Sining has not been in a good mood these days. Fortunately, the prince has been too busy recently and someone must help her share the pressure.
Qin Sining, who was supposed to enter the palace on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, was summoned to the palace on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
The sky was covered with light snow, and it was particularly gloomy.
Qin Sining's expression was almost sky-high. She and Zhao Xiaole entered the palace in a sedan chair.
It was not until below the Meridian Gate that the two of them got off the sedan chair and walked in on foot.
Qin Sining was always half a body behind Zhao Xiaole.
In front of the main hall, the prince was already waiting.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After the two went up, they all saluted the prince.
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After the two of them stood up, the prince asked: "My dear friends, there are a lot of good words and phrases that have been circulated in Kyoto recently. Have you ever heard of them?"
How can Zhao Xiaole have time to care about this these days?
"If you want to come to a gathering of talented people in the capital, you can't help reciting poems and writing poems. This is a great blessing for Your Highness and a blessing to the country!"
Zhao Xiaole said a few words in a perfunctory manner.
If he hadn't been worried about the presence of ears and eyes among the palace maids, neither he nor the prince would have had to pretend to be so tired.
The prince waved his hand and dismissed the eunuchs and maids around him, "This is exactly what I want to say. Such a prosperous time is rare in a hundred years, so there must be no mistakes in this scientific examination. This is why I am anxious to recruit you into the palace!"
"
The prince took out a few more scrolls of paper in his hand and said, "Xiao Le, look at these poems and sentences. Although there is still a gap between your skill and skill, they are masterpieces that have been rare in several years!"
Zhao Xiaole took it and looked at it, and then handed it to Qin Sining to read. He couldn't understand the quality at all, so he could only give it to Qin Sining for appreciation.
After seeing it, Qin Sining said with emotion: "Your Highness, if these talents enter the court, why worry about the country not being prosperous?"
The prince nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Yes, it is the time when the country is implementing the New Deal. If we can get this batch of talents, I am afraid we will see results in a very short time. Xiaole, what do you think?"
Zhao Xiaole thought for a while and said, "What His Highness said is absolutely true. The problem now is how to snatch people. According to the information I received, many candidates have already looked for various ways. After they win the exam in the future, I am afraid that the person they are loyal to will not be His Highness."
ah!"
"This... ugh!"
The prince let out a long sigh. The family relationship has been like this since ancient times, and it is no longer a stubborn problem that lasts for a day or two.
But it would be a pity for the country if these talents cannot be used!
"Except for Chuzhou, other places are very vocal about the New Deal. What if these talented people are recruited by them again...and then they turn against the New Deal? We can't let you go all over the country!"
The prince frowned.
This wrinkle gives it a different flavor.
Zhao Xiaole felt itchy after watching it for a while. Sure enough, every smile of this beauty is worth a thousand pieces of gold!
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Does Your Highness know that the newspaper I run in Chuzhou has inspired many people to feel loyal and serve the country?"
The prince was stunned, "I've heard something about it, what do you mean...?"
"Yes, we can use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we will crack down on corrupt officials, and on the other hand, we will vigorously promote His Highness's benevolence. As long as these candidates believe in it, why worry about them not being loyal to His Highness?"
Zhao Xiaole explained with a smile: "His Royal Highness has implemented so many benevolent policies since he came to supervise the country. Naturally, he has to vigorously publicize them. As for the third prince and those powerful nobles, we publicize them as evil people. I believe that since Ming Qing Gao's candidates
We will know the difference between right and wrong!"
The prince and Qin Sining both looked shocked, "This...is this possible? Isn't this a lie? What if someone discovers it?"
"Why is it a lie? Is His Highness's benevolent government a sham? Which of the things the Third Prince and those nobles did should not be beheaded?"
Zhao Xiaole said righteously.
"This, this..."
The two women felt that something was wrong, but could not explain the reason. It was not until the newspaper was published that they suddenly realized it.
It turns out that Zhao Xiaole only reported good things about the prince, but for those political opponents of the prince, he would kill him if he caught a piece of dirty information!
After returning from the palace that day, Zhao Xiaole immediately organized people to print newspapers and asked Xichang to collect the latest big news and explosive information.
Zhao Xiaole's requirement is that the more bizarre the content, the better, and the lower the bottom line, the better, so that people will like to watch it.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaole also locked himself in the room, sharpened his pen and ink, and began to have people write articles.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the weather had just turned from cloudy to sunny, but the chill in the air had not dissipated. However, among the various hawking sounds early in the morning, this kind of sound was added.
"Extra number, extra number!"
"Big news, big news! King Yan's brother-in-law actually picked up ashes with his younger siblings!"
"The King of Nanyue went to the Central Plains for prostitution and was jumped by an immortal!"
"..."
This kind of sound and content that has never been heard before has made countless people curious.
"News? Newspaper?"
"What is this?"
"I'm afraid it's just to deceive others!"
"..."
People on the street are all talking about it, and people generally have a kind of mentality of keeping away from novel things that they have never seen before.
After hearing this, an examinee from Chuzhou laughed loudly and said, "I know this thing. It was something that the Marquis of Zhenguo did when he was in Chuzhou. I didn't expect it to be available in this capital."
"Brother, how do you sell this newspaper?"
"Two cents a piece!"
"The price is indeed not expensive, sell me one!"
The candidate from Chuzhou bought a newspaper, and other people in the inn immediately gathered around and looked curiously at this strange thing.
When the Chuzhou examinees saw this, they laughed loudly and proudly opened the newspaper for everyone to watch.
"Hahaha, there is such a thing!"
"I don't know who founded this newspaper. How did he know such secrets?"
"This portrait of King Yan looks like it was made by an expert!"
"The comet is real, I saw it a few days ago!"
"..."
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the entire capital was shaken by a newspaper.
