After crossing, let yourself go

Chapter 151

Han Jiu did not move. She did not think that the eunuch was being polite to her. She thought that he was dealing with Sang Ke. Fu Sang Ke saw that Han Jiu had no intention of speaking and nodded, "Eunuch He."

Eunuch He smiled and said, "The Emperor would have retired at this time of the day. Today, there are many things to do in the morning court, so the Emperor specially sent a servant to tell the general and the third young master. The Emperor also told the third young master not to worry and to wander around the palace if he is bored."

Han Jiu didn't want to enter the palace in the first place. The palace was just a cage to her. It was stuffy. She opened her eyes wide when she heard the old eunuch say, "Can I walk around anywhere?" She was so annoyed by just waiting like that.

Eunuch He looked at Han Jiu with a flattering expression, "The Emperor said that the Third Young Master can do whatever he wants."

Han Jiu patted Fu Sangke on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk." I'm going crazy waiting like this.

Fu Sangke was a little confused. How could a general like him visit the imperial palace? But it would not be a good idea not to go with Han Jiu, so he had to follow him.

Han Jiu, who had just taken two steps, turned around and said to the old eunuch, "Eunuch, please come together. I'm a rough man and don't know the rules of the palace. Don't offend any nobles." I heard that Yan Beiming already had a concubine in the harem. After all, he had a manly image, and it would not be good to encounter him.

Eunuch He stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Then let me accompany the Third Young Master for a walk." He is not afraid that you will bump into others, but that others will bump into you.

The palace is very clean in the snow in winter. There is snow where it should be, and green grass can be seen if you look carefully in places where there shouldn't be snow. What an evil imperial system.

Han Jiu, Fu Sangke and others walked past a pavilion. As soon as they turned around, they saw the Empress Dowager, Mu Jifan's mother. Han Jiu now regretted wandering around. With a fake smile, he stepped forward to greet her. The damn "common people..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard the gentle voice of the empress dowager, who still had her charm, coming over, "Han Jiu is here. No need to greet me. The emperor has already said that you don't need to greet anyone you meet."

Hearing this, Hanjiu stood up straight. Yan Beiming’s decision was really great.

Han Jiu may not bow but that doesn't mean others can. Fu Sangke, Eunuch He and other eunuchs and palace maids all knelt down to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

After everyone got up, the Queen Mother smiled at Han Jiu and said, "I heard from the Emperor a few days ago that you would come over. I was thinking that you should be here in the next few days."

Han Jiu smiled. She really didn't know what to say to the Empress Dowager, and she was really afraid of saying something wrong. There were too many rules in the palace, and any words that angered the Empress Dowager would be bad for anyone. "I just arrived this morning, and the Emperor was still busy, so I just walked around."

The Queen Mother naturally knew that Han Jiu was very resistant to the palace, and even more resistant to contact with the royal aristocracy. This was something Bei Ming had told her a long time ago, and Ji Fan had also mentioned it. So this very shrewd and resourceful Queen Mother looked at Han Jiu gently and said, "I am also going with Concubine Lian to see her peach garden, so I won't let you and an old woman go together."

Han Jiu's eyes fell on a woman beside the Empress Dowager. Yan Beiming had a good eye. "Then I won't delay the Empress Dowager." After saying that, he turned sideways and watched the group of people passing by.

They knelt on the ground again, and after everyone left, they stood up again. Han Jiu was annoyed by it and stopped walking around. "General, let's go back and sit down."

General Fu also thought this was the best approach, so the two of them went back into the room and waited, not stepping out of the door again.

After walking for a while, the Queen Mother said to the maid behind her, "Bai Lan, I suddenly want to eat the osmanthus cake that Ji Fan bought."

This maidservant had been following the Queen Mother since she was still married, so she naturally understood, "If the Queen Mother wants to eat, I will go to the Prince's house and get some."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Ask Mulin to come along. She has been clamoring to see her brother." She is old now and doesn't ask for anything else.

"Bai Lan I'll go right away" and then he stepped back and left.

"Your Majesty, if you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, don't we have it in the palace?" Concubine Lian looked at her strangely.

The Queen Mother looked into the distance tenderly and said, "The food I eat is not available in the palace."

Although Concubine Lian didn't understand, she took note of it and decided to find out what kind of food the empress dowager liked to eat in the future so that she could buy some for her often.

After Yan Beiming retired from court, he went all the way to the upper study. When Eunuch He saw the emperor and was about to announce his arrival, he was interrupted by a gesture. The breath that Eunuch He had just taken was held back.

Yan Beiming pushed open the door of the study and saw two people sitting in the room with their faces covered with notes.

When Fu Sangke saw that it was the emperor, he quickly tore off the paper on his face and knelt down, "Your Highness, I am here to see you."

Han Jiu also tore off the paper on his face and smiled at Yan Beiming, "Hehe"

Yan Beiming looked at the two men's faces, which usually showed a stern smile, and asked, "What are you doing, Xiaojiu?" With a piece of paper stuck on his face, he said to Fu Sangke who was kneeling on the ground, "Mr. Fu, please stand up."

Han Jiu pointed to a piece of paper with a chessboard drawn on it and said, "General Fu and I are playing Gobang."

"Gobang?" What is that? Yan Beiming had never heard of it.

Han Jiu didn't expect him to understand, "I was just kidding. The Emperor and General Fu have something to talk about first, so I'm going out for a walk." State affairs come first.

"Don't call you Your Majesty, Your Majesty. You are my younger brother. Call me Big Brother." Yan Beiming, dressed in a dragon robe, looked at Han Jiu majestically, but there was kindness in his eyes.

Fu Sangke looked at the emperor in shock, and hurriedly lowered his head after realizing that his behavior was rude. The emperor actually called him "I" instead of "Zhen" in front of Han Jiu.

Han Jiu felt a little awkward but still called out "Big Brother".

Yan Beiming smiled rarely when he heard Han Jiu calling him, "General Fu and I will talk while walking, you wait here." I have to change this dragon robe, otherwise this kid will look at me like a stranger and stay eight feet away from me.

Fu Sangke was completely confused. Is the emperor like this? In his impression, the emperor was always extremely sinister, cruel, and oppressive. He never smiled. At least, Fu Sangke had never seen the emperor smile.

When he used the means to put pressure on the ministers of the previous dynasty, everyone knew that this king was not an ordinary king. He was hard to guess, rough but meticulous in his actions, and ruthless when he was ruthless. But today, the emperor's attitude towards Han Jiu made him see a side of him that he could never have imagined in his dreams. It was incredible.

Yan Beiming and Fu Sangke left the study and walked towards his bedroom. Along the way, Fu Sangke reported the situation in the imperial capital to him in detail, and also told the emperor about his residence in Han Mansion.

Yan Beiming heard that he lived in Han Mansion and did not think it was strange, so he continued to talk to him about the imperial capital. After arriving at the bedroom, Yan Beiming changed out of his dragon robe and walked back to the study with Fu Sangke. The two talked about the imperial capital all the way, and in this way, Fu Sangke finished reporting everything he wanted to report to the emperor.

"Is everything okay, Xiaojiu?" Yan Beiming looked at Fu Sangke.

Fu Sangke lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, we didn't encounter any problems on the way here. However, the leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Chi Yuan, came to see the Third Young Master. Chi Yuan came with us."

He did not mention Zhao Guo's assassination of Han Jiu, not because he had other selfish motives, but because he understood that everyone has desires. Once a seed of desire is planted, it will take root and sprout. He dared not think about the ambition of his monarch, which is why he did not say it. He did not want to change the beautiful things that even he, who had seen countless life and death, thought were beautiful.

"I know Chi Yuan. He has a good relationship with Xiao Jiu. Don't worry about it." He then said seriously to Eunuch He behind him, "Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more delicious food."

Eunuch He said that he was retiring and preparing to go. Today was a very nervous day for him. He felt that he was more nervous than when the Emperor ascended the throne. He was as nervous as that night when he heard the Emperor and Han Jiu casually chatting about taking in Dayan.
