Chapter 209 Bo Qiaohui 21
After being so close to Liu Qi for a month, Bo Qiaohui felt a little annoyed.
Although it was quite obvious in the drama, after actually coming into contact with Liu Qi himself, Bo Qiaohui truly felt that this person was quite extreme, with his love and hate being particularly clear.
For example, in his previous life, when he liked Li Miaoren, he obeyed her and believed everything she said; but once he disliked her, he would immediately call her a bitch.
For example, in the month since she entered the palace, Liu Qi could almost be said to have been completely obedient and loyal to her.
As long as it was a request she made, the other party did not refuse any of them and fulfilled them all.
How terrifying! Bo Qiaohui sat in the Taiji Hall. Not far away, Liu Qi was flipping through the answer sheets of the various examinees. Every now and then, he would look up at her as she sewed clothes for him, his eyes filled with sincere affection.
The emperor's love is more terrifying than intestinal poison. It will drive all the women in the palace crazy. When he ascends the throne, this love will attract everyone to him.
Bo Qiaohui lowered her head, meticulously crafting each stitch: [At least in this world, he will become an emperor even more terrifying than Liu Heng.]
[Scary? Why? Isn't Liu Heng also in love?]
But Liu Heng knew how to restrain himself, while Liu Qi…loved him to death and hated him to death. Everything came too easily for him, whether it was love or hate… As Dou Yifang said, to Liu Qi, they were irresponsibly indulgent.
Glancing at the light outside, Qiao Hui rubbed her sore eyes. Liu Qi beside her quickly took out a handkerchief and held her hand: "Don't rub it, it's bad for your eyes."
He gently lifted her chin and wiped the corner of her eye against the light. Qiao Hui remained motionless, her eyes fixed on his focused brows, her heart indifferent.
【So, a short life is his blessing.】
"Just let the servants make these clothes. Why tire yourself out? What if you hurt your eyes?"
Liu Qi simply sat beside her and said, "Mother's eyesight has been getting worse year by year. Although she can still see clearly now, she still needs the support of palace maids when she goes out."
"I am your wife, after all. Besides, simplicity is valued in the palace these days. Even your mother weaves and sews clothes for Your Majesty. So, naturally, I should take care of your food and daily life like your mother did."
"Your Highness must have what others have."
Qiao Hui picked up the casual clothes in her hand and compared them to Liu Qi's body: "It will be ready in ten days or so."
Liu Qi embraced her, feeling very satisfied: "Okay, okay, I can never convince you, but please don't tire yourself out. You can always stay by my side, that's the most important thing."
"You too, I've noticed you've been worried about the exam these days. I heard from the palace servants in Taiji Palace that you haven't had a proper meal in days."
"They're just gossiping. I eat on time every day," Liu Qi wanted to say something else to argue, but he lowered his head to meet Aqiao's clear eyes. After a pause, he finally confessed, "It's just that I don't use it much... Oh, I'm just anxious. There are so many articles, not only do I have to select the good ones, but I also have to assign them suitable positions. I'm afraid if I don't make the right choice, I won't let the people and my father down."
"I know Your Highness cares deeply about the people, but haste makes waste. If Your Highness puts his heart into it, even if it isn't perfect, you won't regret it. Besides, with Your Highness's talent and virtue, how could he fail?"
Qiaohui tried to comfort him, then suddenly seemed to remember something: "Have you dealt with Huafeng, the man who sent me money a few days ago?"
"You're talking about him. His writing is indeed good, but I think he's just that good. He would have returned all the gold, silver and jewelry intact long ago. If he was truly talented, why would he bribe me, the Crown Prince?"
Liu Qi saw it clearly and was disgusted by their behavior: "I, the dignified Crown Prince, am I just a fool who is greedy for temporary wealth and has abandoned the government in their eyes?"
"Your Highness, please calm down. There's no need to bother with such a wicked person. Among all the candidates, only this one was foolish enough to directly hand over the money to the Taiji Hall. This shows that our Han Dynasty still has many talented people."
"That's about it. There are only a few people who are useful among the crowd." Liu Qi said this, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He picked up a bamboo slip on the table with a mysterious look on his face. "If there is really a talented person, Aqiao, you can guess who it is."
"How can I guess this? There are so many people from all over the world, and I have hardly heard of them. Your Highness, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"You know this person too. Take a guess. You can definitely guess it."
Bo Qiaohui pursed her lips in annoyance. "I know him too? Since I was little, I've never been in contact with any other men besides you. Could it be... my second brother?"
Liu Qixian was secretly delighted by the first half of her sentence, and was then surprised by her guess: "So accurate? I remember you have four brothers, didn't you? Why didn't you guess your eldest brother or fourth brother?"
"Your Highness, are you kidding me? The two of them? One is simple-minded but strong-limbed; the other can fall asleep reading anything except military books. I'd rather rely on my nephew than on them to make the list."
Liu Qi also recalled his childhood impression of Aqiao's four brothers. It seemed that the eldest and fourth brothers were indeed very good at martial arts. He had little contact with the second and third brothers, but after hearing what Aqiao said, he thought that they should have some talent in literature and governance.
"Then why don't you guess it's the third brother?"
"Third brother went on a journey and hadn't returned before I entered the palace."
Qiao Hui was filled with emotion when she spoke of this: "His personality... call him a fame-seeker or a compassionate one, but he simply didn't want to be trapped in the court. Rather than pursuing fame and fortune, he preferred to be close to the people and truly do things that could improve their livelihoods."
"Third brother Gao Yi."
Liu Qi didn't know Bo Xiang well at this point, so he just casually praised him out of friendship with A Qiao, and then excitedly talked about Bo Gu's article:
"...That's really great. I plan to host a banquet tomorrow and invite him to the palace for a chat. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be the first choice."
"Your Highness...is this inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that?" Liu Qi replied subconsciously. Seeing Ah Qiao hesitate, he realized her concerns and quickly comforted her, "I am deliberately biased. If he is truly a talented person, there is no need to avoid relatives. Don't worry, even the emperor won't say anything."
Bo Qiaohui naturally had no choice but to agree and ordered the palace servants to prepare for tomorrow's banquet.
On the second day, in addition to Bo Xiang, who was highly praised by Liu Qi, there were two other candidates. They were all selected by Liu Qi from the best of the best. Although they were much inferior to Bo Xiang, they were still satisfactory.
