Chapter 335 Trivial Matters
I don't know when the sky outside had cleared up, and the sunlight shone through the window lattices into the hall.
It was shining on the two people hugging each other behind the desk.
The gloomy expression on Huo Jinchi's face seemed to clear up a little. Yun Qin did not comment on what he said. Perhaps it was true that a man without evil could not be a hero. He chose to wait until the Fang family revealed more flaws before announcing the empress dowager's edict of repentance.
It was the heaviest blow to the Fang family.
Or maybe he was actually hesitating to save the Queen Mother's face.
"These are all things from the previous dynasty. I don't understand this." Yun Qin lowered her eyes and gently stroked the wrinkled collar of Huo Jinchi's chest with her fingers. "I am a weak and insignificant person. The only one I can rely on is the emperor. Naturally, whatever the emperor says is what I have to say."
Huo Jinchi looked at her aggrieved look, his eyes full of helplessness, "You don't believe in me, but you stab my heart with a soft knife!"
"Then why is the emperor angry with me?" Yun Qin snorted without raising her eyes.
Huo Jinchi lifted her slender chin with his finger, "I am angry with you. You have taken the saying 'no one comes to visit you for no reason' to the extreme. I am too busy to visit you. Have you ever missed me in your heart?"
"If I hadn't issued this apology, would you not have come here at all?"
Huo Jinchi said, pinching her chin with his fingers, "Seeing you so anxious, I get even more angry."
Yun Qin was somewhat at a loss for words after hearing what he said. She was only thinking about the big things, and who knew that he would get angry over such a trivial matter.
Does he still look like an emperor?
"I am also worried about the emperor."
You can complain, but you also have to pretend.
Huo Jinchi snorted lightly, "I won't believe your lies. You are used to lying to me."
"Really, it's true." Yun Qin said as she leaned into his arms and rubbed her head against his neck. "The Fang family has been making things difficult for the emperor. I've been really angry lately."
"I didn't notice it." Huo Jinchi sneered, "Do you think I don't know that Xiao Shunzi has been looking for storybooks everywhere these two days? Are you going to tell me that he just wants to read it?"
"It's really not my order. It must be because I've been in a bad mood recently and he wants to please me and make me happy, so he's looking for the storybook everywhere."
"Your ability to lie with your eyes open is getting stronger and stronger." Huo Jinchi was immediately relieved.
Yun Qin refused to give in. "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, go to Yanning Palace and ask. Once you ask, I will tell you that I did not lie."
Seeing her pretending to be stupid, Huo Jinchi lowered his head and bit her collarbone.
The collar of her clothes had been rubbed open long ago, and this time the bite directly hit her smooth skin.
Yun Qin let out a slight "hiss". In addition to the pain, she also felt a tingling sensation that made her body stiffen.
Huo Jinchi raised his head from her neck and snorted, "Are you being obedient now?"
Yun Qin bit her lip and her face turned red. She finally realized how bad their current position was. She wanted to get up but it was too late. Her back was pressed against the desk.
Just as I was about to speak, my lips felt cold.
There was no movement in the hall for a long time.
Breakfast was already prepared. Xu An looked at the closed door and did not dare to come in. He just shouted outside the palace: "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."
Suddenly, in the originally quiet hall, there was a sound of something falling to the ground, which sounded like the sound of gold and jade.
Although he could clearly see nothing, Xu An lowered his head a little more and did not dare to look closely at the palace gate.
He didn't dare to speak, but he didn't dare to leave either.
After an unknown amount of time, the emperor's voice finally came from the palace, "Bring up the breakfast."
"yes!"
Xu An followed the eunuchs carrying food boxes into the hall. Although he lowered his head, he raised his eyes and took a quick glance around the hall.
The Emperor and Xi Zhaoyi had already sat down at the round table, and there was nothing unusual about their clothes.
But he saw that Xi Zhaoyi seemed a little unhappy.
There was no sound of quarreling in the hall just now. What was Xi Zhaoyi angry about?
While thinking in his mind, Xu An quickly set the table for Huo Jinchi. In a blink of an eye, he noticed something on the low table.
A jade hairpin broken into two pieces.
Isn't this what Hee So-yi wore on her head when she came?
Thinking of the voice he had just heard, Xu An immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to look around or think about it anymore.
After the breakfast was served, he stepped aside.
Listen to the clatter of dishes and chopsticks.
At this moment, the emperor suddenly said, "It's just a white jade hairpin. I will give you a better one as compensation. Don't be angry."
"Can it be the same?" Xi Zhaoyi said in a coquettish voice, "This is a set of head ornaments, carved from the same piece of material. Where can I find another jade color of the same color!"
"Then I'll compensate you with another set of headgear, okay?" The emperor's voice was patient and gentle.
Hearing that Xu Anxin was bleeding again, there were only a few sets of white jade head ornaments left in the storehouse. These were all treasures from the previous dynasty and had been kept in the storehouse during the time of the previous emperor!
"That's different. This was given to me by the Emperor at my enthronement ceremony. I love it so much."
"Okay, how about I give you two more sets as a gift for this enthronement ceremony?"
Xu An's hand holding the dust whisk trembled.
"This is what the emperor said himself. You can't lie to me."
"Do you think I am you?" Hawking Chi's voice was filled with laughter.
This was the first time Xu An had seen someone so happy after losing his wife and his army...
"Eat more." Huo Jinchi personally served Yun Qin a bowl of Yunpian soup, signaling her to eat more.
Having just received two sets of head coverings, Yun Qin finally smiled and gave Huo Jinchi a white and tender crab roe bun with a greasy yellow hue. "Your Majesty, please eat more."
The two lived in harmony, and the world was restored with only Xu An injured.
After breakfast, Yun Qin did not leave immediately, but started talking about business seriously.
"Your Majesty, has the Fang family made any new moves?" She drank her tea and sat back at Huo Jinchi's desk.
But when his eyes swept across the desk, his mind flashed over the scene of her with her clothes all pulled back to her arms, and there was a moment of unnatural expression on her face.
This bastard is becoming more and more dishonest.
"But he's still running around everywhere. However, this time it seems like he's set his sights on the Grand Tutor." Huo Jinchi didn't raise his eyes, so he didn't notice the unnatural look on her face, and spoke in his normal tone.
"Grandmaster?" Yun Qin raised an eyebrow. "They still want to reach out to the eldest prince?"
Huo Jinchi stopped writing, a sneer appeared on his lips, "As expected of you, you are the uncle of the emperor. Seeing that you can't get any benefit from me, you set your sights on the succession to the throne."
"If we get rid of the Grand Tutor and replace him with someone from the Fang family, and if I make Zi Yan the Crown Prince, then they will still be the royalists, and the family will still be able to survive for a hundred years."
Yun Qin couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, what a good plan.
He was not afraid that Huo Jinchi would have other sons in the future and would not make the eldest prince the crown prince.
"One more thing..."
