C31 Advancing to See the Empress Dowager

At this moment, Fu Tine had already packed up. The old servant who accompanied her into the Palace walked up and showed her waist plate to let her pass. When Fu Tine heard the Royal Guards calling her, she took a deep breath and walked into the Imperial City with wide steps.

Ji Cheng straightened his back and walked side by side with his master into the afternoon door. His eyes were firmly glued to the back of the beautiful young man who was taking four steps in front of him. "The Great Zhou officials are all like this. Ever since we entered the Helan Pass, have we not seen much?"

"What do you know!" Hearing Ji Cheng's perfunctory words, Qii Liufeng immediately reprimanded him. "Fu Si is different from others. Others just wear better clothes. Look at the servants beside him. A yellow-mouthed child who has no official status and no noble status is served by more than a dozen people. Would an ordinary person's child be so flamboyant?" He said even more sternly:" As a prince, you are only served by four or five people. His name is Long Mi. "

Only then did Ji Cheng understand what his master meant. He hurriedly twisted his voice and replied, "Master's profound meaning was actually ignored by Ji Cheng. He really shouldn't have." He seriously thought about it and then said, "Reforming the governance of officials is the most important task. Master once said it again and again. Now he had a deeper understanding of it. I, the righteous official, cannot continue the extravagance of Great Zhou. "

Only then did Qii Liufeng feel satisfied. He slowed down his tone and said," There is no good banquet today. Fu Si took the Shizi test at the age of eleven. He must have been invited to compete with you. "

"Is that so..." Ji Cheng wanted to hide his edge in the grasslands. When he entered Great Zhou, he wanted to hide his tracks. After all, he was young and aggressive. It was hard to avoid feeling uncomfortable if he kept hiding.

It was not easy for him to enter the capital. His master allowed him to show his hands a few times, but he was still not satisfied. "Don't tell me I have to avoid it again? If that is the case, why did my master want me to propose to compete with scholars in terms of talent? "

This time, he deliberately brought Ji Cheng into the capital to let him see the real emperor. Secondly, he wanted to test how many masters had endless knowledge. It was a rare opportunity to meet Fu Si. "No worries, you can try." He sighed again. "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to win with what you have learned. Thinking about the Fu Family's Book Fragrance, his father, Fu Shen, was indeed worthy of his name. Fu Si was eleven years old and was a scholar in the neighboring province. It's enough to see his true abilities."

Ji Cheng did not know why, but when he heard his master praise him like this, he was not disgusted but excited instead. Usually, if Qii Liufeng was so ambitious that he could destroy his own prestige, he would not be able to accept it, even if he did not say it out loud from the bottom of his heart. Today, he thought, 'It's worth it to lose to such a handsome young man. This little man makes people feel pity for him.' He could not bear to fight with him for victory or defeat.

Thus, he humbly said, "Master has a saying, 'When the scholars of Great Zhou gather, there will be talented people everywhere.' Ji Cheng was willing to accept the teachings of others and deal with them calmly. It would be better if he could win slightly. He would be willing to lose even if he lost."

Qii Liufeng was very satisfied with Ji Cheng's answer." Of course. Those who achieve great things should have such magnanimity. " The master and disciple did not say anything else. They followed Eunuch Lu to the Fragrance Pavilion.

On the other side of Fu Si, Emperor Zhou had prepared a sedan chair for the Yu Er Sect and brought it to the empress dowager's palace to rest.

The emperor's mother was related to Fu Si, and her sister-in-law was the old lady's aunt and cousin. Although they were separated by several levels, they were deliberately talking about internal relatives. However, if Fu Si wanted to have a place to rest, it would be to honor the emperor's grace.

It was not easy to go to other places, as they were all young palace concubines. Only the old lady here did not dare to say the length. They were also related, so they took it. Fortunately, the Emperor was thoughtful, otherwise Fu Si would have been half dead from walking through several palace gates to the Group Fragrance Pavilion. If he waited for the Emperor like the others, he would probably be exhausted before Fu Si.

Fu Tine was familiar with the Imperial Palace. She watched the sedan pass through a moon gate. In the opposite direction of Tai Hua Palace, she saw a eunuch standing in a group with his hands hanging down. She knew that he had entered the Inner Palace. Thinking about the relative relationship between his old lady and the empress dowager, he had already guessed which mistress was in the harem.

The sedan stopped for a moment, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he kowtowed. He called out to the empress dowager that she was a thousand years old, a thousand years old, and a thousand years old. Although it was inferior to the palace's etiquette, it did not lose its respect, causing the old empress inside to feel as if she was happy about something. "Look, your grandnephew is smart. He knows that it's a pity from so far away."

He invited Fu Si into the hall and stood closer to take a look. "Oh, look at this poor little one. He's so beautiful, like a snowball."

When Fu Si saw this familiar posture, he knew that it was the Emperor's family's method of bribing the hearts of people and indulging in long term methods. Just for the sake of being able to work hard and humiliate the face of the barbarians today. If she did not accept this compliment, it would be a slap to the Emperor's face, so she did not stand on ceremony and gave a family salute. "Nephew and grandson greet Aunt. Aunt will live to be a hundred years old." Only after obediently bowing did he sit down.

This is the royal family. Calling you grandnephew is raising you up. If you happily acknowledge it as a compliment, then pretend that you don't understand or don't dare to understand. To put it nicely, it's called being stupid, to put it bluntly, it's called being ignorant of the current situation. Even so, you can't go beyond what you have to do. He had to bow, bow, and obey. He had to continue.

The empress dowager only relaxed a little when she saw that this child knew when to advance and when to retreat. She asked a few more questions that were not too urgent. It was most likely when her father would return. The old lady at home was still waiting.

Fu Tine answered seriously one by one. When she talked about Jing'an Prefecture, she thought that there was no time for the harem women to be lonely for a long time. So she picked up some interesting news that was not out of etiquette and told them. Just as she was chatting happily, the eunuch said that it was about time for her to go to the Group Fragrance Pavilion. Thus, he got up and said goodbye.

The imperial harem had been lonely for a long time, and just as he was happily listening to it, he heard that he was leaving, so he was truly reluctant to come.

He got up and repeatedly exhorted, "You won't be able to eat anything at the banquet, so I've prepared something good for you to dematerialize it. I'll wait for you to eat " He watched the child walk out of the palace gates before sighing, "The Zhongyi House is well-mannered and has such an appearance... It's a pity that such a good child's body is so weak." Thus, he ordered to prepare more delicious food and wait for the poetry poems and songs to be used.
