"Are you the newly appointed manager of Qianqing Palace?"
Although He Qiushi's body was stiff from the cold, he did not dare to show any slightness. He immediately bowed and then replied: "I don't dare to call you the general manager, but the empress saw that this slave is quite diligent, so she gave me the gift of letting this slave stay in Qianqing Palace." It is the blessing of a servant to serve you day and night."
"Can talk."
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "My eyes are also lively, and my hands and feet are quite nimble. They are indeed not bad."
"Thank you for your compliments, sir."
He Qiushi had an expression of joy on his face and quickly thanked him.
"How long have you been working in Qianqing Palace?" Zhao Xuanji asked again.
This seemed like a casual question, but in fact, every word was carefully considered by Zhao Xuanji.
He Qiushi didn't know the inside story, but he answered honestly: "It's been more than seven days."
Seven days...
There was a divine light surging in Zhao Xuanji's eyes.
The new head of the Qianqing Palace in front of us took office seven days ago, so that means that if things really changed, it would have happened seven days ago.
Frowning slightly, Zhao Xuanji didn't notice anything abnormal seven days ago or in the past seven days, but he didn't know if it was because he was reminded by Fu Yuzhi. The less abnormal there was, the more abnormal Zhao Xuanji felt at this time.
Just when Zhao Xuanji was about to test a few more words, outside the palace gate, there was the sound of carriage wheels crushing the snow, followed immediately by a loud song that could only penetrate the sky.
"The Queen has arrived~!"
The deliberately elongated ending of the song carries a unique rhythm that makes people awe-struck as soon as they hear it, with a sense of majesty flowing down from the ground like mercury.
And Zhao Xuanji... sat still.
Outside the palace gate, the phoenix pushed up, and Zhao Qinglan stepped down on the brocade stool and walked into the Qianqing Palace.
In front of the broad palace gate, one person stood holding an umbrella and another person sat motionless.
Seeing Zhao Qinglan enter, He Qiushi, who was holding an umbrella, together with other guards and eunuchs, hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Because I had to kneel down, I had to put the umbrella aside when I asked.
The goose feather-like heavy snow was raging, and a cold wind blew at this moment. The sitting Zhao Xuanji and the standing Zhao Qinglan looked at each other.
Zhao Xuanji felt a little cold.
A chill blew in from the neck and penetrated into the heart.
He stood up slowly and said slowly: "Old minister Zhao Xuanji..."
"Master Zhao, there is no need to be polite."
Zhao Qinglan said calmly: "Although you and I must first perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, we still have a father-daughter relationship after all. Mr. Zhao is the pillar of the country, the provincial magistrate, but he is also the head of the country. These red tapes can be avoided."
"Thank you for your consideration, ma'am."
Zhao Xuanji stood up and bowed slightly.
"Master Zhao entered the palace, why?" Zhao Qinglan asked straight to the point.
Zhao Xuanji cupped his hands and said, "I haven't seen the Holy One for many days, and I am worried about you. Please ask to see the Holy One."
Zhao Qinglan got straight to the point, and Zhao Xuanji went even more straight to the point.
He knew very well that his sudden entry into the palace was an extraordinary thing in itself. Whether it was Zhao Qinglan, who had broken up with him and seemed to be incompatible with her, or the princess hidden deep in the East Palace, they would all be afraid of and guess about his arrival, so no matter how hard he looked for it, The high-sounding reasons are actually the same.
Since it's useless to find excuses, then just make the request directly.
Even if it is a temptation, it is also clearly tested.
He just wanted to tell Zhao Qinglan directly in this way. No matter what reasons she used to stop him today, he was determined to face this saint.
But he didn't expect that all his preparations and mental activities would be rewarded with two words from Zhao Qinglan.
"OK!"
