Wen Family Has a Wife

"Not bad, you are indeed from the Hanlin Academy. You have a bright mind and a clever person. Then I will listen to you. If you are short of manpower, I can send you two assistants." The Minister of Rites laughed and said Just be in a good mood and be polite.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zixi pushed his nose to the face, and immediately said bluntly: "Thank you for your understanding, I really have a merciless request, and I also know that this official is a foreign minister, and there are probably ten people in the palace. I only recognize half of it. Since you want to be the assistant to the lower official, why not arrange two people for the lower official, one maid and one eunuch. It is better to stay in the palace for a longer period of time. If someone comes over, the lower official doesn’t have to stop You can register directly if someone asks, don’t you think so?”

Minister of the Ministry of Rites was a little displeased at first, but he felt reasonable when he heard what Qi Zixi said. It is a troubled time now, and it is never wrong to be careful in handling things. Ask the Minister of Rites to arrange two people for Qi Zixi.

When the Minister of Rituals heard this order, he only felt that one was the first and the other two were big. Now the manpower is very tight, and they were all arranged a month ago. Where can I temporarily transfer these two people, and they have to be seniors!

Qi Zixi also knew that his request was a little embarrassing, so he happened to catch a glimpse of the Imperial Forest Army passing by on patrol from the corner of his eye, and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry. knew it was going to happen.”

The servant of the Ministry of Rites saw how understanding Qi Zixi was, and saw that his eyes were much gentler. He grinned and said, "Since this is the case, Mr. Qi has worked hard."

After exchanging greetings, Qi Zixi left Chengqing Palace and ran after Kang Chengwang, "Commander Kang, Commander Kang, wait..."

Kang Chengwang suddenly turned his head, seeing that it was Qi Zixi who came, he frowned, and asked in doubt, "Master Qi, what do you want me to do?"

For example, the Imperial Forest Army was in charge of the safety of the imperial palace, and no one naturally acquired the ability to know people. It can be said that there is no maidservant in the palace who goes up to the emperor and goes down to serve in the cold palace.

Qi Zixi just thought of it just now, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Commander Kang, I have a merciless request from you."

"Huh?" Kang Chengwang became more and more surprised, how could he help.

"It's just... the official wants to borrow two people from you..." Qi Zixi said his thoughts cheekily, and made a bunch of requests, then looked at Kang Chengwang anxiously.

Kang Chengwang: "..." What if he doesn't really want to talk to the person in front of him now?

But thinking about it, he would not refuse directly, so he looked back at the soldiers behind him and asked loudly: "Which one of you has the confidence to serve as Lord Qi's deputy?"

I thought these people were self-aware and would keep silent, but two people really stood up, "General, this subordinate can do it!"

Kang Chengwang took a closer look, hehe, Lan Mo, the third son of Duke Chengguo, and Xie Kaipu, the second son of Marquis of Pingyang, these two thorns! He wouldn't believe that they could serve as Qi Zixi's deputy, probably because they wanted to take the opportunity to be lazy.

Thinking of this, Kang Chengwang felt a little headache, and he couldn't say too much in front of Qi Zixi, so he could only let them pass with a straight face. Because he was worried, he went to the harem to ask the empress for a eunuch. Maid, send it to Qi Zixi.

At this moment, Qi Zixi has become familiar with Lan Xie and the two of them.

It was still early in the morning, and there were not many people going to Chengqing Palace, most of them were eunuchs and maids on business, Qi Zixi didn't need to put on a show in front of these people.

As soon as Lan Mo sat down, he couldn't help complaining: "Damn it, I'm really suffocating this young master. If there's nothing to do for the Qianqiu Festival, it's just a toss!"

Qi Zixi hurriedly covered Lan Mo's mouth, looked around nervously, and reminded: "Be careful that the walls have ears."

Xie Kaipu laughed from the side: "Brother, this is a corridor, if the partition wall has ears, then the person must have ears with the wind, so that he can hear the voice from the other side of the palace wall!"

Qi Zixi saw him pointing to the towering palace wall, and laughed a few times, "Be careful and you can't make mistakes!"

Lan Mo and Xie Kaipu looked at each other,

Immediately fell silent.

Xie Kaipu leaned in front of Qi Zixi, and deliberately teased him: "Master Qi, you have to be careful today, and I will tell you secretly that something happened in the palace! If you don't take care of your head today, you will move!"

Qi Zixi was so frightened that his face turned pale, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, shrunk his head resignedly, and swallowed sharply, "What...what's the matter!"

Seeing his reaction, Xie Kaipu laughed so hard that he almost rolled to the ground, and that presumptuous laughter reached Kang Chengwang's ears.

"Xie Kaipu! Do you want to die?" A loud shout made Xie Kaipu roll twice on the ground, then stood up swiftly, "Commander!"

Kang Chengwang walked slowly and steadily, and Qi Zixi stood up inexplicably with his majestic aura. His posture was straight, just like a child who was punished for doing something wrong, but his expression was blank and innocent. .

Kang Chengwang directly waved him to sit down, stared at Xie Kaipu, and asked sternly, "Do you know what you were doing just now?"

"I know!" Xie Kaipu had a serious face at the moment, and he couldn't see the look of being foolish just now.

Kang Chengwang didn't want to continue to make things difficult for him at this time, so he lowered his eyes and said, "Go to the side and do a hundred push-ups."

As he spoke, he looked at Qi Zixi, and said solemnly: "Master Qi is in charge of counting, and he is not allowed to get up if there are less than a hundred. Also, if I see you making fun of me here today, I will end up doing push-ups." Thousands of them, this commander is watching in person! I will do what I say, don’t fall into my hands!”

Kang Chengwang clenched his fist, leaving the two palace servants to turn around and leave.

Qi Zixi and Lan Mo were left staring at each other, and not far away was Xie Kaipu who kept doing push-ups without saying a word.

The two palace servants saluted Qi Zixi weakly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Qi Zixi asked politely, "Who are you two?"

"The slave girl Chunhe is working in Fengyi Hall."

"Slave Baihe also belongs to Fengyi Palace."

Qi Zixi naturally knew where Fengyi Palace was, and his attitude towards the two palace servants became more polite.

On the contrary, Chunhe and Baihe were a little embarrassed.

"Master Qi, if you need us to do anything, just ask, Mammy said, the slaves and Bai He will listen to Master Qi today." Chunhe said respectfully.

Seeing them like this, Qi Zixi had a good impression of the queen who had no sense of existence, and blurted out: "The empress sent you here, wouldn't Fengyi Hall lose two people at once, and the manpower is enough? If the empress The manpower over there is tight, and I don't have to ask the two of you to help me here."

Now that the queen said so, Qi Zixi naturally wouldn't continue to refuse, and the two were kept like this.
