Part 4 The Journey Chapter 190: Two Encirclements (14)

Your Majesty, you're back. "The girl lifted her skirt and bowed her body, and did the European curtsy.

"It's you little rabbit, how are you doing today?" Qianhua threw her gaze at the girl, wandering between amiability and ambiguous appreciation.

The girl's name is Zhang Luying, the only beloved daughter of Zhang Zhigao, the Minister of the Interior and the Duke of Zhengde, who is now 12 years old. Ten years ago, in the turmoil in Beijing, Zhang Luying's eldest brother Zhang Luming and second sister Zhang Luning's house was destroyed by a bomb, and Luying, who was only two years old at the time, slept next to his parents and survived.

Since Emperor Taizuwu ascended the throne, he established the system of female officials and attendants, stipulating that in addition to the open recruitment of men and women with good conduct to enter the palace, female officials and attendants in front of the palace are regularly selected from the children of the nobles above the earl to accompany the emperor in shifts. From time to time, high-ranking officials and celebrities in the opposition society came to give speeches, and even the emperor himself whipped the class - a real class of protégés of the Son of Heaven.

The intention of the first emperor is indeed to give preferential treatment to the children of the nobles, and the attendants in front of the palace are regarded as supreme honor in the eyes of ordinary people, showing the importance and trust of the royal family to their families. In fact, in order to cultivate the feelings of the next generation of the group for the royal family from an early age, although the time for the rotation of escorts is generally only two or three months, but in the inner court, getting along with the Son of Heaven day and night, treating him like a princess and princess, and wearing the crown of the protégé of the Son of Heaven. It is difficult for teenagers and girls at an ignorant age not to give birth to a little closeness that transcends blood relationship.

Xiaoluying was sent to the palace by his father Zhang Zhigao a month ago, because he was particularly clever and cute, and was specially ordered by the empress to stay in the palace to accompany him.

"Emperor Xie cares, I have a good day and am very happy." The fawn looked up and smiled, her cheeks flushed with intoxicating dimples.

"Oh, tell me, what's the fun?" A thousand birches faded their blue velvet floor shawls. Exposing his snow-white and silky shoulders and chest, he handed the shawl to the handywoman who greeted him, and sank into the crocodile sofa a little tiredly.

The little deer shadow blinked, and suddenly jumped and ran to the small kitchen on the side of the living room: "Your Majesty, I'll be back soon." ”

"What is this little thing doing?" Qianhua shook her head, didn't care about her, picked up a stack of morning newspapers on the coffee table and looked at it.

The whole page was full of pride and excitement of war reports such as the great victory of our army, the victory of the allies, and the hearts and minds of the people, and the supplementary publication contained tofu block poems such as singing about the army and navy of the empire and calling on the people to tighten their belts and support the front, and there were large black-and-white photographs and drawings interspersed in between. Most of them are battlefield photos of the Nanyang side two or three months ago, and there is also a photo of General Yuan Shikai, commander of the First South China Sea Group, in military uniform. It's very spiritual.

"Yuan Shikai ......"

Although he knew that the poisonous snake would no longer be able to make any waves in this world, Qianhua still unconsciously felt a bad feeling.

For the development of important historical figures in another time and space in this new century, the group has always adopted a policy of combining a few key observations with the majority of laissez-faire, in Qianhua's view, this kind of policy has no operational standards, and is purely based on the subjective likes and dislikes of the leaders to decide who to curb and who to permiss.

This world is my world, this is our stage, not your theater, we gamble our lives here, and your lives are played by us...... The thrill of crossing. That's it, isn't it? Everyone thinks so, it's just that some people are naked, and some people love to pretend to be B.

"Your Majesty. Today Deer Shadow learned this. The clear and lovely children's voice caused Qianhua to turn her head to look, only to see Zhang Luying holding a tray with both hands. As I walked and stopped, I saw a gold-painted teapot in the tray, two teacups with wavy handles on a white background and blue, two small triangular cakes, and a snow-white and soft cream delicately inlaid with strawberries and vanilla—enough to tempt the sin.

Black tea with cake, English-style afternoon tea, Zhang Zhigao's home taste, Zhang Zhigao's girl, don't think too much, relax and enjoy.

"You made it all yourself?" Qianhua lovingly touched the little head of the fawn shadow with a pink silk knot, and took her to the sofa beside her.

"I've tried it several times to make it look like this, but I don't know if it suits His Majesty's taste." Xiaolu shook the silky dreadlocks hanging from her ears, picked up the teapot slightly awkwardly, poured out most of the cup of foaming black tea, opened the enamel sugar jar, added half a spoonful of sugar to the teacup, stirred it gently, and then presented it to Qianhua with both hands.

Qianhua smiled and took the teacup: "Okay, I'll give you the exam." ”

After taking two sips of tea and tasting the cake with a small silver spoon carved out of the dragon pattern, Qianhua nodded with satisfaction: "It's the same taste as the one I tasted at your house last year, how did you learn it?" ”

Xiaoluying stretched out his hands forward and touched his knees, tilted his head, and looked extremely innocent and cute: "Today's tea class, the teacher said, what is the combination of Chinese and Western style in my court, Miss can't make Western-style teas, and marrying into the right family will be laughed at......"

The bright and innocent eyes stared at the ceiling for a while, and the warm and tender cherry mouth stuck out her tongue playfully: "But I don't want to marry." ”

Qian Hua laughed out loud when she heard this, and pressed the tip of the fawn's nose: "Little fool, if you don't marry, what do you want to do." ”

"I want to stay in the palace and stay with the emperor all the time, just like Sister Mirror." The fawn shrugged her shoulders, looking quite serious.

"Mirror" is Qianhua's nickname for the current female official and head of the Eagle Wolf Team for many years, with Ye Jingying, Xiaoluying lives in the forbidden place of the dormitory, and Qianhua loves her very much, so she calls "Sister Mirror" unabashedly.

"Oh, do you think your sister mirror won't get married?"

Xiaoluying's eyes widened, and she looked incredulous: "Sister Mirror is really going to get married?" Who to marry? ”

Qianhua put down the spoon, pinched the bright red, plump and delicate strawberry on the top of the cake, and quickly blocked the mouth of the fawn shadow.

"What do you say?"

Xiaoluying didn't dare to swallow such a big strawberry in one bite, so he bit off the tip like a rabbit, pouted and shook his head: "The emperor doesn't know the way, how can I know the way." But Sister Mirror is so beautiful and so smart, she must be a very good person, too good to be a good person......"

"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?"

Don't ask, the one who is wearing fashionable high heels, wearing a new suit and skirt, is as delicate as a rose in the show, and it is the mirror - Ye Jingying who walks from the main entrance.

Xiaoluying hurriedly raised her skirt and saluted: "Zhang Luying, the former female official of the internship hall, has seen Female Chief Ye. ”

Ye Jingying first bowed her head to greet Qianhua, and then waved her hand to Xiaoluying: "In the future, you are accompanying the emperor, so you don't need to salute - you go down first." ”

Seeing that Ye Jingying opened the shadow of the fawn, Qianhua knew that she was going to play a report, so she invited her to talk closely.

"What? Indian Ocean? ”
