Text Chapter 1257: I Want Someone, but I Won’t Let Him Go!

Her words sounded modest and polite, but her expression was full of irrepressible showoff. The lady beside her pursed her lips and suppressed a smile.

The Queen of Heaven walked to the opposite side of him and said "Hmm" in agreement: "The place of Purgatory is indeed dangerous. I heard from your family that you found a place in Hell and dug a deep hole and hid there for hundreds of years. The danger of the place is evident.”

Xiahou Longcheng said with emotion: "Yes! Aunt, of the more than 1.8 million people, only about 300,000 came back alive. Fortunately, my nephew was not reckless, otherwise he would never have seen his aunt."

The Queen slowly tilted her head and looked at him sideways, her eyes a little strange, like looking at a pig.

E Mei on the side moved her cheeks and almost didn't laugh out loud. In fact, the Queen's words had already made it obvious. You, Xiahou Longcheng, dug a hole and hid for hundreds of years without doing anything. How did you get the ninth place? ? However, Xiahou Longcheng was still as smart as ever, and the Queen was obviously speechless.

The queen's original intention was not to put on airs in front of her little nephew. After all, it was rare for her mother's family to come here, so she spoke more tactfully and wanted her little nephew to explain it himself, but Xiahou Longcheng didn't understand at all, so she had to point out clearly. : "You are indeed not reckless. You can dig a hole to hide and not come out. Once you come out, you can get ninth place in the assessment. Good grades will fall from the sky and hit you on the head. What a great skill."

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Longcheng finally turned around, his exaggerated smile froze on his face, and his expression twitched.

The queen turned around and sat down behind the long desk, "Long'er, I don't want to see you lying to me. Tell me! Tell me how you got the ninth place."

Xiahou Longcheng wanted to lie, but he had been exposed, and he didn't know how much his aunt knew. How could I dare to lie, so I had to hesitate, hesitantly, and honestly explain it. "Niu Youde gave it to me..."

He told the story of how he was preparing to rob but bumped into Niu Youde.

"That's it!" Queen Mingwu nodded and remained silent for a while. Asked: "Don't you have a grudge against that Niu? I heard that you signed a contract with him to fight to the death. Do you want to fight?"

Xiahou Longcheng's chest puffed up again and he said: "How can a man remember such a small grudge? The past has passed, the contract has been ruined, Niu Youde and I are already brothers..." Jili Guala talked about and Miao Yi was so friendly during their time together.

Do you really think you are so charming? The Queen was speechless as she stared at her nephew. She didn't know what to say to him, so she had to change the subject and talk about the parents' shortcomings. She encouraged him a few words, and then rewarded him with something. Then he ordered people to take him out of the Heavenly Palace and sent him away.

In the evening, in the evening view garden, the palace maidens were dancing, and they were twirling their beards to watch in the Qingzhu Pavilion. There were several stunning concubines vying for favor around them, which made the Qingzhu chuckle from time to time.

Outside the moon gate at the end of the pavilion, Queen Xiahou Chengyu, who led several followers in, paused slightly and scanned the scene in the Xijing Garden with his bright eyes. His eyes fell coldly on the stunning concubines surrounding Master Qing.

One thing I have to admit is that Xiahou Chengyu's appearance is indeed average and cannot be compared with those harem beauties. This may be due to the Xiahou family's bloodline. There are no good-looking men or women in the Xiahou family, such as Xiahou Longcheng.

But those beauties in the harem can't compare with Xiahou Chengyu's family background. How can anyone compare with one of the five wealthy families. At the first glance of Xia Hou Chengyu's appearance, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of several stunning beauties. He quickly stopped trying to win favor.

He took the initiative to give up his seat next to Master Qing, for fear of causing Xiahou Chengyu's misunderstanding.

"Your Majesty!" Xiahou Chengyu stepped forward and saluted. Seeing that Qingzhu was so enchanted by the song and dance that he didn't say a word, she sat beside Qingzhu uninvited. She was the only person in the entire heaven who was qualified to sit side by side with Qingzhu.

"The Queen of Heaven!" The concubines saluted, and Xiahou Chengyu just nodded slightly.

Seeing that the queen's face seemed unhappy, the several stunning beauties immediately found out their excuses and left.

If you don't understand each other, daring to compete for favor in front of the Queen of Heaven is simply asking for death. Behind the Queen of Heaven was the Xiahou family. Although the Xiahou family could not directly do anything to them in the palace, they could wipe out the forces behind them.

Once you no longer have the strength to support you, it means that no one in the palace will speak for you anymore. No one will offend a person with a powerful background for a person without a powerful background. Then the end can be imagined. The Queen will only With just a wink, a lot of people can appear to find trouble and accuse you, and they can easily kill you. And once you lose your power background, the Emperor of Heaven will not cause trouble in the harem for an insignificant person. Even if the Emperor of Heaven intervenes, you are still a person who deserves to be blamed for all the crimes, and there is not even anyone to help you redress your grievances. .

Therefore, the decisive factor for whether a woman in the harem can stand in the harem is outside the palace. The palace is only a place of pleasure for the Emperor of Heaven. The people who help the Emperor of Heaven control the world are the ministers outside the palace, not the women competing for favor within the palace. If the Emperor of Heaven favors a concubine’s family outside the palace, then no one in the palace would dare to mess with that concubine. Otherwise, if the emperor’s affairs in the palace are ruined, the emperor’s world affairs outside the palace cannot be borne by the women in the harem. .

Therefore, many women in the palace hope to be favored by the Emperor of Heaven, who will favor their families and support them in return to stabilize their status in the palace. And those women who have no background hope to have a good relationship with the important officials in the heaven outside. If they encounter any trouble, those important officials will say a thousand words in front of His Majesty.

It can be seen that not everyone can sit in the position of Queen of Heaven. People who do not have considerable strength and background cannot sit in this position. Beauty or ugliness does not matter.

Xiahou Chengyu did not disturb Qingzhu from watching the singing and dancing, but gently helped Qingzhu refill his cup with fine wine and jade liquid.

"I heard that your nephew entered the palace today." Qingzhu, who was watching the singing and dancing intently, suddenly said.

Xiahou Chengyu knew that such things could not be hidden from him, so he smiled and said: "Yes, Xiahou Longcheng is here. I have something to ask him. If I don't ask him clearly, I will not feel at ease."

Qingzhu: "Xiahou Longcheng...is the one who went to Purgatory to participate in the assessment, right?"

"Your Majesty has a good memory, that's exactly what he is."

"I heard that he got ninth place in the exam and got good grades."

"This is exactly why I came to him to ask him. How could he, a rude boy, get ninth place in the exam? I don't know if I don't ask. After asking, I was very angry. It turns out that his grades are so good and so good." He benefited from his sharing..." After telling the details, Xiahou Chengyu still said with an angry look on his face: "I have made arrangements to remove him as the ninth person from the assessment later. After all, I am the one who presides over it, so how can I not be upright?"

"You!" Master Qing finally showed a smile and turned his head to cast his gaze on her. "There are many people with the same grade in this assessment. Do you really think that I don't know what's going on? I just don't want to do things too much all at once. It definitely caused too much backlash. After all, Gao Guan had chopped off so many heads that Gao Guan stopped continuing to investigate. Xiahou Longcheng was considered half of my nephew, and he only held the position of commander of Tianjie. Just give it to him. Don’t use him to prove anything to others. If someone makes an argument about this, just say it’s my intention. I want to see who dares to say anything.”

He really wouldn't take the position of a mere leader of Tianjie in his eyes. What he cared about was whether Xiahou Chengyu's attitude towards this matter would be hidden from him.

And Xiahou Chengyu obviously had a finger on Qingzhu's pulse. In fact, she could figure out the matter through the Xiahou family. She deliberately stopped Xiahou Longcheng halfway here just to show Qingzhu.

Xiahou Chengyu smiled bitterly and said: "Since it is His Majesty who speaks for him, it is also the blessing of that brat. I just obey the order. But in the next assessment, I am still worried that the ministers will react too much, and I want to ask for permission. His Majesty’s opinion.”

"Just go ahead and do it. With me supporting you, you don't have to worry about anything. I intend to turn a blind eye to the assessment of the same level, but if anyone objects, then make sure your butt is clean first. It's not clean, I have the final say on who should be investigated and who should not be investigated!" Qingzhu said lightly, stretched out his hand to take a drink of the jade liquid on the side.

Xiahou Chengyu suddenly realized that by not allowing Gao Guan to continue the investigation, he was leaving a backup plan to pave the way for continued assessment.

She had just realized this when Master Qing asked again: "What do you think of that Niu Youde?"

Xiahou Chengyu didn't know why he suddenly asked about this matter again, but he didn't say anything: "You are famous for being able to hear directly from heaven. I only heard about it, so I don't know exactly what your majesty means."

Qingzhu smiled slightly, "It's just that a few old guys mentioned it in front of me, and they had a strong desire to come back to participate in the meeting. They all wanted to get people there, and they all felt that such a general would be placed in Tianjie. Waiting for death to be buried. Hey! Even Gao Guan asked me to go to the right supervision department, but I was put in a dilemma and it was not suitable for anyone. I said it was from the Tianjie system. People, whether to let them go or not depends on your wishes. Let them discuss it with you. I think they will find someone to tell you soon, so you should be prepared first. "

"Has Right Envoy Gao spoken too?" Xiahou Chengyu asked with a surprised look on his face.

Master Qing nodded: "It seems that when the assessment just started, Ambassador Gao mentioned it once. I also said at that time, as long as you have no objection. At that time, I didn't know whether Niu Youde could come back alive, so I temporarily pressed the button. "Unexpectedly, Gao Guan mentioned it again this time, which made me somewhat interested in Niu Youde."

Xiahou Chengyu's eyes flashed. There were so many people asking for someone, even Gao Guan asked twice... He immediately smiled and tried: "After hearing what Your Majesty said, I am also interested. Besides, what does it mean to put someone in front of others?" Tianjie just eats and waits for death. What do you call this? I am not happy to hear this. I am afraid that I will refute Gao Youshi's face this time. "

Master Qing laughed and said: "A little Golden Lotus cultivator is not worth worrying about yet. Let's wait until he grows up. He is of no use now. He is a person under your command. You can figure it out yourself. "

Sure enough, as Lord Qing said, in the next few days, noble ladies entered the palace one after another to pay homage to the Queen of Heaven, and they really conveyed their wishes to the Queen. The reason is also very simple. There are too many people who want something, and you are afraid of offending anyone if you give it to anyone. You might as well not offend anyone and just don’t give it to anyone! (To be continued...)i1292
