Chapter 39 Section IX

Early the next morning, Qi'er came to look for Shentu Jia. This was Shentu Jia's first morning at Princess Taiping's mansion, he did not practice in the courtyard as usual, because his big iron vertebra was too terrifying, and he didn't want to arouse people's suspicion when he entered the mansion.He just gets up early, takes walks in the yard, and does simple activities. When he saw Qi'er walking slowly into the courtyard alone, he didn't know what Qi'er was going to do, he just stood there quietly, admiring the beauty of this proud girl. However, the guards who had just returned from the night duty discovered the seriousness of the matter.This proud girl should never appear here at this time. She only serves Princess Taiping on weekdays, but she herself is served by a group of maids and women. It can be said that she is below one person and above everyone else.

The head of the guards rushed to Qi'er in a hurry, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Qi'er, if you have anything to do, you can just ask the servant to give instructions, why bother you to come here in person?" Qi'er has always been very indifferent to the guards, she didn't even look at the little boss, just heard her say: "It's nothing to do with you." "Yes Yes." "Shentu Jia, which one is your room? I have something to tell you." Qi'er's voice was clear, and his enunciation was crisp and sharp. With just a wave of her hand, Qi'er drove out the room who was about to undress and go to sleep. She covered her mouth and nose with a silky silk handkerchief, and looked around. Finally, her eyes stopped on Shentu Jia's bed. on the low rattan couch.

Shentu Jia is a clean man, although he has just arrived here, the bed has been washed spotless by him. "Please." Shentu Jia pointed to his bed and said to Qi'er. Qi'er didn't kneel on the bed, but just adjusted her gorgeous long skirt a little bit, and she just sat down beside the bed with her feet crossed and hanging on the ground like she usually sits on the bed. Seeing that she was sitting still, Shentu Jia took a step back and let the sunlight shine in through the half-open door, so that he could appreciate this rare beauty more clearly.This is a shrewd and beautiful girl. Shentu Jia has never seen Shangguan Wan'er who used to exercise power in the palace a few years ago. He thought that when she was young, Shangguan Wan'er would definitely not be more beautiful than the girl in front of her. shrewd.

Shentu Jia accidentally guessed a big secret of Princess Taiping, but he himself didn't realize anything. "Because of your dereliction of duty, the princess was not able to eat honey-roasted foie gras last night. The princess was very angry about this incident. Now her old man is so angry with you that she can't even eat breakfast. What do you think you should do?" crime?" This girl's gaze is so clear and sharp, it's simply unstoppable.The clever Shentu Jia also found a little bit of cunning in this gaze that he tried his best to hide. "I don't think so." Shentu Jia replied unhurriedly: "The princess is an important figure in Pingzhang's military affairs and a pillar of the country. If the foie gras gets angry, then her belly must be too small!"

"This is a woman, you know?" Seeing that Shentu Jia saw through his trick, Qi'er also found it funny. "Women are big in big things, but small in small things. Yesterday you didn't give me any face in front of everyone, and let me find my own way. I will never forget this for the rest of my life." "Miss, if you can never forget me for the rest of your life, that's my blessing, and I can't ask for it here." Before that, Shentu Jia only cared about practicing his big iron spine every day, and had never teased with a girl so easily. Today, he suddenly discovered that he is extremely talented in dealing with girls.

Not only was Qi'er not annoyed by Shentu Jia's teasing words, but he felt a sense of relief from the bottom of his heart that he had never felt before.She lived too tense and serious around Princess Taiping. During the conversation with Shen Tujia today, she found something more interesting in life than politics.What a fascinating life it would be if we could put aside the daily learning of intrigues, tricks, tricks, and tricks, and just play and laugh with the young people in front of us. Seeing Qi'er blinking her big eyes in a daze, Shentu Jiawan didn't expect that his words and deeds would cause such a huge change in the girl's heart.

"Miss, you must have something else to look for me?" Qi'er let out a long breath, settled his mind, and said: "I am not some kind of young lady, in the future you will call me Miss Qi'er in public." "Then what about carrying someone behind your back?" "You're called mother." Qi'er said angrily. "Don't be surprised. If you don't speak up, how dare I recognize this family if you are as big a shelf as you are?" Qi'er smiled, and said again: "Let's talk about these things later. I really came to you today because the princess is not feeling well and has no appetite for food. You can find a way."

"This matter should be referred to the imperial physician." "The imperial doctors have come to see it a long time ago, but it is useless. I don't know what to do, and there is no one to discuss." "Then I'm really honored that you think highly of me." "Shut up." It seemed that Qi'er was really worried about Princess Taiping's health. "The princess is really so important to you?" Shentu Jia wanted to find out the relationship between Qi'er and Princess Taiping, because until now, Shentu Jia only knew that Qi'er was the maid trusted by the princess and had great power in the mansion, but Qi'er Shen Tujia still had no idea how high his son's status was in front of the princess.

"I don't know either." When talking about this question, Qi'er hesitated. "I came to this mansion since I was very young. I don't know who my parents are. I just remember that something happened to my family and everything was in chaos. Then I came to this mansion. When I was twelve years old, the princess chose I have four girls, and I want to train them to be the most charming women in the world. Among them is me. Although I am young, I am actually twenty years old this year. The princess said that a woman is only over twenty years old. Only then do you know how to grasp a man."

"What did the princess train you?" Shentu Jia was very curious about this. "There are two girls who specialize in flattery, and you men know what it is. The other girl and I mainly study government affairs, and also learn some other things." Qi'er paused at this point, and read carefully. Look at Shentu Jia's expression. Shentu Jia's face was full of sincerity and curiosity at this time. "The princess said I was talented in handling political affairs, and she encouraged me to strive for power and use it. So, at the age of fifteen, I squeezed out my rival, another girl. This made me I can't bear it, but the princess doesn't think so, she wants me to cultivate a heart of stone, only in this way can I stand firm in the sinister harem."

"The harem? The princess wants to dedicate you to the emperor?" "I originally planned to send it to the prince, but I didn't expect the prince to be very suspicious of the princess, so I never got a chance. Now that the emperor has abdicated and the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, things are even more difficult. The princess is likely to become ill because of this worry. " "Now the princess can be said to be the most powerful person in the world besides the Supreme Emperor, and the Emperor respects his aunt very much. What else should she worry about?" Shentujia pretended to be puzzled, showing a look Confused, trying to get some inside information out of the people around Princess Taiping. "You don't understand politics, so how do you know the complexity? Your Majesty... forget it, let's not talk about it." Qi'er hesitated to speak. "Then what about the three of you?" Shentu Jia was not reconciled and kept asking. "The princess' initial thought was that as long as the emperor has the most beloved people, it must be the three of us, and the two of them are directly under my command. Alas, maybe the princess has not given up until now." This is a very useful situation.Shentu Jia was thinking that General Li and the others were only focused on the political issues and personnel arrangements such as the choice of prime minister, the tendency of the Habayashi Army, and they must have never expected that Princess Taiping would have long been prepared to usurp power in the harem. "It's been so many years, except for the princess, I haven't talked about these things with anyone. You must not reveal it, otherwise, neither of us will survive." Qi'er said to Shentu Jia with a serious face. "Maybe I shouldn't be telling you these things at all." "If you have something to do, it's better to talk to a close person, or else, I'm afraid you will get sick over time." Seeing that Qi'er's tone drew the relationship between the two very close, Shentu Jia took the opportunity to sit down beside Qi'er , holding Qi'er's slender little hand. Qi'er did not express any refusal, but at the moment when the skin of the two touched, Qi'er's body trembled unconsciously, and his body became obviously stiff. "how?" "It's nothing, I'm just not used to it." Qi'er's face was tense, like a mask, but her heart was in turmoil. "What if you can't enter the harem?" "That's okay, just give those two girls away, as long as a man is willing to give everything for them. They are under my control now, and the people I trained can be said to be the best in the world." "I really can't think of a woman more attractive than you in this world, what would that look like?" "Don't dream, you don't even want to see them in your life." Qi'er's reproachful eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge. "I don't miss them, I miss you. Where will you be then?" "As long as the princess is here, I probably can do whatever I want. The question is what is your purpose in asking this?" "I'm wondering if I have this blessing." Shentu Jia felt like a born vagabond, he didn't expect sweet words to roll out of his tongue so briskly.
