In the summer afternoon, the hot weather makes people drowsy. Qin Mubai came to the Imperial Study Room of Wude Hall as usual to inspect. Several hundred cavalry soldiers who were about to take a nap hurriedly stood up straight, screaming secretly in their hearts.
In the afternoon and at dawn, it is always a time for people to relax and slack off. Qin Mubai is afraid that the soldiers will be lazy at this time, so he often takes this time to patrol. If anyone is caught taking a nap and deserting, the punishment will be severe.
Extremely strict.
Qin Mubai glared at the soldiers and said nothing. The emperor was probably taking a nap at this time, so it would not be a bad idea to wake him up.
After completing this patrol, it's time for him to take a vacation. The four days of family leave every month is a rare relaxing time. Qin Mubai has already planned to spend these few days to go to Yao'er and teach her how to play the piano.
, by the way, I also called my sister Shuang'er to learn together. Although they can't learn anything in four days, it's good to let them get acquainted with this new instrument first.
The emperor's eunuch came out of the study and said that the emperor was tired and taking a nap on the couch in the study after approving some memorials. Qin Mubai planned to wait and see if the emperor woke up and had something to explain before going there himself.
Vacation. In the past two months, Li Shimin's trust in Qin Mubai has deepened day by day. He often asks him to do some personal things. For example, he should send messages to the concubines, take the little prince to the back garden to relax, or pass on the instructions.
A minister came into the palace to talk.
In the past, these things were handled by eunuchs. Now that Li Shimin has Baiqi, he always feels that Baiqi's people are reliable and can show the royal dignity. Gradually, Qin Mubai is almost going to become the emperor's subordinate.
A confidant like a "secretary". Occasionally, Li Shimin would temporarily discuss some simple military and political matters with Qin Mubai, as if he intended to test him with some questions.
After two months of taking office, Qin Mubai did learn a lot from Li Shimin, and he had a preliminary understanding of the political system and operation methods of the Tang Dynasty, as well as most of the court officials.
It was a hot summer day, and the soldiers of Baiqi were all wearing thick armor, and they were all sweating. But this level of hard work was nothing compared to the hardships of training, and no one paid much attention to it.
After waiting for a long time, Li Shimin still didn't wake up. Qin Mubai slowly paced back and forth in front of Wude Hall, waiting patiently.
At this moment, a group of figures flashed under Longwei Road. They seemed to be several palace maids in colorful palace attires, holding oil-paper umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun, walking step by step towards Longwei Road.
Li Shimin had a habit of not allowing anyone to disturb him when he was sleeping, including his eunuchs. The courtiers were also very self-conscious. Unless it was a major state matter, no one would dare to disturb him at such a time.
The emperor's rest.
Qin Mubai saw the group of women approaching from a distance, and couldn't help but frown: What do those Qianniu Guards guarding the Longwei Road do, and they don't stop them?... Or maybe they are big shots, and they don't dare to
block?
Just as he was hesitating, the group of women approached.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel his eyes light up.
The maids were all young, with an average age of sixteen or seventeen. The little girl under the oil-paper umbrella was obviously their master.
This little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. She had phoenix eyes, peach cheeks, and skin as white as snow, like a narcissus in bloom. She exuded a natural nobility in her enchantment. Women in this era seemed to be generally a little precocious. She was little
Despite her age, she has developed very well. She is quite tall, almost 1.7 meters tall. She looks slim and tall in a snow-white palace gauze and feather dress.
Such a woman appeared in the sky on such a drowsy summer afternoon. Qin Mubai and the sergeants felt as if they had been bathed in a cool fairy wind. Unconsciously, their minds were clear and their eyes were a little brighter.
point.
"Stop." Qin Mubai knew that the other party had a lot of background, so he stepped forward in person, stretched out his hand, and said expressionlessly, "Whoever is trespassing, tell me your name."
"Trespassing? How dare you say that the princess is trespassing?" A palace maid accompanying her sneered disdainfully, "&
