Chapter 353 Does Xiaojiu dislike me?

The emperor was too lazy to take care of the matter, so he asked Jiang Sheng to invite a wizard.

Jiang Sheng agreed immediately and soon invited the person over.

At first, An Jiu thought that Jiang Sheng didn't believe these things, but he didn't expect that Jiang Sheng believed them very much. Moreover, the person who came was a Taoist priest. It was said that the late emperor had invited him, and the talismans for Jiang Sheng were all given by him.

The Taoist priest was over fifty years old and was full of energy. He performed a ritual and gave amulets to every concubine in the harem, saying that if they were placed in the palace, any evil spirits would be warded off.

When An Jiu came over, the Taoist priest was with the emperor.

The emperor was very curious.

"Master, can you really exorcise evil spirits?"

[Isn't the old guy a liar? ]

The emperor thought so.

The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "I dare not deceive you. This talisman paper cannot drive away evil spirits."

The Taoist priest said that the talisman paper was scrap paper that his apprentice used to practice drawing.

The emperor and An Jiu were both stunned.

I can't fix it.

No, you are too honest.

The Taoist priest stroked his gray beard and smiled.

"There are no evil spirits in the palace, but the talisman paper can buy peace of mind, and..." The Taoist priest flattered with a smile: "Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor. Where your Majesty is, no evil spirits can get close to you."

emperor"……"

An Jiu "..."

Everyone said that the Taoist priest was a god and his talismans were particularly effective and could really drive away evil spirits.

It's said to be miraculous.

Concubine Shu no longer suffers from insomnia.

She now has two talismans, one given by Jiang Sheng and one given by the Taoist priest.

She thought about it and felt that what Jiang Sheng gave was more useful, so she gave the gift from the Taoist priest to Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng laughed while holding the talisman paper.

Good.

The Empress Shufei is such a wonderful person.

When the Taoist priest left, he gave An Jiu a talisman, saying that he wanted to protect her safety because she was pretty.

An Jiu smiled and thanked him.

I thought, could this also be a practice for the Taoist's disciples?

An Jiu was half-believing and half-unbelieving. Normally, she didn't think there were such things as ghosts. But if a pair of red embroidered shoes suddenly appeared at the door, she would be scared to death.

So, she kept the talisman paper in her own little room.

She always felt that there was a chilly wind outside the hut, and many people had died in Guanghua Palace in the past...

After the emperor finished his business and didn't see her, he secretly came to the small room to look for her. He found that the doors and windows were closed and there was the sound of someone breathing inside.

When the emperor came in, An Jiu was startled and cover something with a quilt stealthily.

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

"Xiaojiu, what are you hiding?"

[Is there anything I cannot see? An adulterer?]

An Jiu patted his chest: "I was scared to death."

The emperor hadn't been to the hut for a long time.

It was not him who came before, but the tyrant.

The memory of death suddenly stabbed her and it was a bit painful.

"What is this?" The emperor lifted the quilt and let out an exclamation of surprise, just like the village brother Erniu, who had never seen the world before.

"So many treasures?" Even the emperor felt familiar with them.

"I sent it to you?" The emperor was surprised. "So many?"

Did he actually give Xiaojiu so many things?

An Jiu rolled his eyes.

How is this more? Cheapskate.

The emperor's eyes sparkled.

"The tiara is beautiful, it belongs to my mother." The emperor touched one of the particularly gorgeous pink tiaras.

An Jiu just thought it was pretty at first, but he didn't expect it was Concubine Chun's.

While she was stunned, the emperor put the crown on her head.

An Jiu "..."

"It's really beautiful." The emperor exclaimed.

An Jiu was a little shy, and asked suddenly: "Who looks better, the crown or me?"

The emperor subconsciously said: "Of course it's the crown..."

An Jiu looked up at him.

The emperor laughed dryly: "Of course you are good-looking..."

An Jiu didn't care.

She carefully wiped each piece of jewelry with a handkerchief.

The emperor felt inexplicably sad as he watched.

It's just this little thing, but Xiaojiu is so precious about it.

Let’s take a look at the house where Xiaojiu lives…

Dilapidated and small.

Look at her clothes and shoes, neither of them are the best.

I have to work every day...

The emperor felt more and more uncomfortable.

An Jiu was originally very happy, but after hearing him go off the track, she was a little speechless. In fact, she wanted to tell the emperor that she felt pretty good and didn’t feel bitter. On the contrary, she felt quite down-to-earth…

"Xiaojiu, do you want me to..."

An Jiu covered his mouth: "No... not yet."

The emperor frowned: "Why not?"

[Could it be that she doesn't like me? ]

【Why not? 】

An Jiu didn't mean that. She liked the feeling of being in love. Besides, the man in front of her was the emperor, not some village idiot. Once she was with him, there was no turning back.

If the emperor appointed her as a concubine today, he would have to inform her and flip the name card when they meet in the future.

It's so annoying.

But the emperor obviously didn't think so.

He was a little unhappy.

He looked at An Jiu several times.

[Does Xiaojiu really not like me? ]

[That guy disappeared, and love disappeared too? 】

【Not happy.】

【Not happy.】

An Jiu "..."

If it wasn't almost time for dinner, she wouldn't want to bother with it.

What and what?

The emperor glanced at the jewelry on the bed and then at An Jiu.

【Unhappy, unhappy, unhappy. 】

[I haven't found those dead things to interest her yet. ]

[Does Xiaojiu only like my money? ]

An Jiu "..."

The family members were speechless.

Anjiu kissed him on the face.

"Your Majesty, it's noon, time for lunch."

Don't try to delay my meal by doing anything unnecessary.

The emperor touched his face and snorted coldly.

"I don't buy that."

【Wow! 】

【Wow! 】

【Wow wow wow! 】

[I knew it...]

…

The emperor's main work this year, apart from the imperial examination, is to crack down on local tyrants.

He didn't want to kill them all with one blow. After all, it was the family business that had been passed down from generations of ancestors. You couldn't just take it away by force just because you wanted it.

There was nothing wrong with a peaceful family, but some people were really too much. They bullied men and women, took advantage of their power, and took human lives. There were quite a few of them, and the emperor slowly dealt with them one by one.

At this time, the emperor was holding a memorial and thinking.

Written by Mr. Li San.

This Third Master Li had done quite well in the palace examination. It was thought that he would stay in the capital and become an official. Although he would not be given an important position, he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, he petitioned the emperor to take up a local post.

"This Li San is quite interesting." said the emperor with a smile.

An Jiu came over to take a look: "He wants to go to Daizhou?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Daizhou is close to the southwest, and the people there are quite fierce. The last county magistrate died mysteriously three months after taking office, the previous county magistrate drowned while drunk, and the previous previous county magistrate was killed by bandits."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "This year, Daizhou has no county magistrate, so of course there is no tax to be paid."

An Jiu thought about it and she believed that the local tyrants there were getting too arrogant and thought that the emperor really couldn't do anything to them.

"Can Mr. Li San, a young master from an aristocratic family, do it?"

Can Dingyuan Marquis Mansion agree?

An Jiu felt it was quite terrible.

She remembered the young man who was eating lamb skewers with a smile on his face on Flower Street.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

Going to someone else's territory is a life-threatening situation.

Is Mr. Li San okay?
