Chapter 358 More Beautiful than the Stars and the Moon

Chapter 358 More beautiful than the stars and the moon

Xia Houdi looked blank: "This is a promise to your sect leader. It is an apology for including her in the genealogy without consent."

Meng Lan blinked her eyes, and suddenly remembered a distant little thing... It seemed that Xue Mu really told Xia Houdi at that time, let her go on her own...

So did Xia Houdi agree to the sect master's promise, or did he want to satisfy Xue Mu's bad taste? It's hard to say...

"Captain Xiahou is very beautiful, of course she should go..." Seeing that Xiahoudi didn't seem to be taking any airs, Luo Qianxue came over and said, "So there are three of us now, right? Weren't there always three in each issue before?"

Xia Houdi glanced at her: "I originally planned to gather ten beauties..." At this point, he blushed, as if he felt ashamed because he was bragging about being a beauty. He paused for a moment before continuing: "So the final issue is to include four people, and then publish the score as a whole."

Luo Qianxue said in a cool tone: "If you don't choose our two sects, it would be a headache to always arrest the head."

Xia Houdi said angrily: "You two sects? Even if we don't mention whether they are suitable for each other, I don't want to continue to pick people from Xue Mu's harem. This is a unique combination!"

"Tch..." Luo Qianxue originally wanted to say, "That's not the case for you," but she finally held back her words and curled her lips and said, "Then you can choose one from the emperor's harem, that can represent the country, right? The emperor himself The harem is hidden and tucked away. What kind of beauty does it mean if it is just a rough place? Let’s see if you dare.”

"Well..." This argument turned out to be surprisingly reasonable. Xia Houdi stared straight for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask your Majesty, please sit down for a while. I'll be back soon!"

Seeing Xiahou Di go out in a hurry, a group of girls were all dumbfounded. She just went out and left a bunch of witches to play in her own main arresting room? Are you really not afraid of something happening?

"This... this Commander Xiahou is very interesting..." A girl from the Hehuan Sect wiped her cold sweat and said, "So she is such a sister."

Meng Lan laughed and said: "She was called crazy in the past, but now maybe because of the six doors, she has gradually come out of the embarrassing situation, and she is much more normal. To put it bluntly, she is a sassy woman, with some persistence, she is different from us."

"That's not the case. She trusts Sister Menglan very much?"

"No..." Meng Lan smiled slightly: "She trusts the person we represent."

…

Xia Houdi went to the palace, and Ji Qingyuan stayed in the imperial study room except for the court meeting. Her request for an audience was quickly granted, and she strode into the imperial study. Ji Qingyuan was still bending over the desk to review the memorial, and said without raising his head: "The chief arrester has arrived just in time. I happen to be looking for someone to ask you to negotiate about Yizhou."

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Xia Houdi also sighed secretly in his heart. From the perspective of diligence, few ancestors in the past generations can compare with his father. However, the world has become more and more awkward, and he has never been able to keep up with his father. Don't know where the problem lies.

Blame Xue Mu? Not to mention. It is true that Xue Mu has been at odds with his father a lot, but the situation has never been better in the more than 20 years since his father's reign. Xue Mu only entered the world at the beginning of this year, so it makes no sense to rely on Xue Mu. On the contrary, many of Xue Mu's thinking patterns and things he did were considered to be in the direction of consolidating the country.

She had these thoughts in her mind, but of course she wouldn't say them out loud. Looking around, I saw countless shadow guards hiding in all directions. Eunuch Li stood alone on one side, and Concubine Liu was nowhere to be seen.

But Ji Qingyuan said: "Well... the matter in Yizhou may be a long story. If the chief arrester's intention is not complicated, why not first listen to the chief arrester's intention?"

"Yes." Xia Houdi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Jiangshan Juexi is preparing for the final phase. The nine people currently selected, including the minister himself, are all considered warriors..."

"Wait...you yourself?" Ji Qingyuan was extremely surprised: "Are you a genius?"

Xia Houdi said with a straight face: "Is my minister not qualified?"

Ji Qingyuan blinked twice and laughed dumbly: "Interesting, interesting. Our Chief Xiahou actually knows that she is a beauty. Well... continue."

Xiahou Dimuran said: "The rivers and lakes are just a corner of the country. Since the country is the most beautiful place in the world, naturally it cannot be all in the rivers and lakes."

Ji Qingyuan narrowed his eyes: "The rivers and lakes are just a corner of the country... The words of the chief arrester?"

Xia Houdi pursed his lips: "Xue Mu's words."

Ji Qingyuan was silent. I don’t know what I was thinking about, but I sighed after a long time: “Then what?”

"My lord, if there is no representative in the palace, how can we talk about the beauty of the country?"

Ji Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Houdi's serious expression, and asked with a strange expression: "Do you really think so?"

"I really think so."

"How would it be appropriate for a member of my harem to be painted and judged by the world?"

"The important ministers of Xiahou Di Kingdom are all praised by the world. What's wrong with mere concubines who serve the emperor with sex!"

"Ha..." Ji Qingyuan actually stood up, took two steps, and laughed out loud: "Interesting, very interesting. Let the world know that Jiangshan is stunning, not just Xue Qingqiu, not just her Xingyue Sect, right? ? What I have is more beautiful than her stars and moon, right?"

Xia Houdi opened his mouth, wanting to ask you where this inexplicable comparison to Xingyue Sect came from, but in the end he didn't ask, and instead said: "Exactly."

Ji Qingyuan said decisively: "Invite the best painter to make a new painting for the imperial concubine. If it can make the stars and the moon eclipse, there will be many rewards!"

Soon a shadow guard hurried out and seemed to go directly to the palace painter.

Eunuch Li stood aside expressionlessly, with only a string of ellipses in his heart. If you become a fairy, won't you still be a disciple of Xingyue? What a shame...

The imperial study room was quiet for a while. Xia Houdi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his mind away from Jue Che, and asked: "The matter in Yizhou..."

Ji Qingyuan seemed to be in a good mood at this time and said with a smile: "The Six Gates have been operating the matter in Yizhou ever since it changed their minds. The long-term chaos in Yizhou also has the strength of the Six Gates and the internal guards. It's ridiculous that the good and the evil are still in control." I thought it was just me who was great. This matter has not yet rewarded the chief arrester."

Xia Houdi said calmly: "Xinyi Sect caused the plague to the southeast, devastated the people, and made people mad. It is really a killing of both humans and gods. What's more, Eunuch Li arranged this matter appropriately, and I dare not take credit."

Ji Qingyuan smiled and said: "The destruction of the Xinyi Sect has eliminated a serious problem in my heart for decades. The reputation of the Righteous Path has been greatly reduced. The so-called Same Qi Lianzhi has exposed its hypocrisy and ridiculous fragility. Even the reputation of the Righteous Path has dropped a lot. It's even better to have both. In Yizhou, regardless of the overall situation of good and evil, the ups and downs of power, the other will disappear and I will rise, it can be regarded as a great success."

Xia Houdi bowed his hands to Eunuch Li: "Your Majesty is very good at employing people. Eunuch Li is indeed a capable person."

Eunuch Li could tell that Xia Houdi was not sincere in his words. There were quite a few people from the six gates participating in the battle of hearts. Apart from the details of winning the tripod, Xia Houdi knew the basic situation relatively well. In her eyes, the core of destroying hearts was obviously Xue Mu. It's just that Xia Houdi would not go to the emperor to take away Eunuch Li's merits in front of the emperor. Instead, he would highlight the enemy's merits, which would not only displease Long Yan, but also offend the chief internal officer. Why bother?

Therefore, the situation reported to Ji Qingyuan by the Six Doors is basically consistent with the template reported by Eunuch Li. This is a tacit understanding shared within the system, and Xia Houdi is not exempt from it. Of course, it's also because this is just a trivial matter to show merit, not a matter of principle that is detrimental to the country or the king. Xiahoudi is not that old-fashioned. If he really violated his principles, Xiahoudi would even dare to come forward and draw a sword to kill you, a eunuch, so he is too lazy to do so. It doesn’t matter what system you have tacit understanding with.

Eunuch Li, as if he had a clear mind, responded with a smile: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."

Ji Qingyuan sighed: "It's a pity that things in the world are not always as desired. Do you know the result of the virtual and real cauldron?"

Now that the topic has come, the harmonious atmosphere in the royal study finally began to turn solemn.
