Xue Chi was stunned when he heard it again.

Because the palace gate singled out the Xiongnu envoys, his admiration for the other party's Shaoxing was beyond words, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.

Even if he was about to leave after the story was told, he still looked excited.

Lu Jinxi sighed inwardly, thinking that this kid would not be able to sleep well all night when he went back, so he only told Qing Que to prepare more food for him, so that he would not be hungry in the middle of the night.

This time, they called people to send the children back.

Only when it was time for them to salute and leave, she glanced at Xue Tingzhi, who hadn't said a word all night, and said lightly, "You stay."

Chapter 95

Xue Tingzhi's footsteps stopped suddenly.

He knew that Lu Jinxi entered the palace today, and he should be helping him to talk about the imperial examination, so he came to greet him today. Just seeing her dignified appearance, he didn't mention it at all, and he never asked.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, he stopped him.

His emotions were not very obvious. He turned around and didn't look at her. He just stood with his eyebrows lowered and called out, "Mother."

Everyone has gone clean.

In this room, there were only a few maids left in front of him, but Lu Jinxi didn't tell them to retire. haven't had time before, and it's not easy to look at him.

Only then did take a closer look.

The tall young man was wearing a blue robe. It seemed that the sickness had actually improved a lot, but it was still faint and did not dissipate.

Although her legs were slightly lame, she stood up straight under her gaze.

Although the person's eyebrows were lowered, she was sitting and could still see a little. Between the slightly cold eyebrows, there is a sharp edge.

A person who is extraordinary and unwilling to settle for ordinary.

He himself did not sit.

Lu Jinxi didn't tell him to sit.

Putting both hands in front of him, he somehow felt that this scumbag had some meaning, and wanted to scare him, but he was too lazy to do such a low-pitched thing.

So, she just smiled and said: "I entered the palace today and asked someone to ask about your matter. The emperor learned that it was the General's Mansion who wanted to make a special case, and he summoned me alone after the ceremony to ask about this. thing."

Xue Tingzhi's fingers on his side suddenly stiffened.

It can be seen that his heart should be suspended.

Lu Jinxi was thinking about the heads he kowtowed to the emperor today, and he felt that he was at a loss, so he didn't talk about serious business, but asked him, "You know, how many times did I kowtow to the emperor today? ?"

These words were beyond Xue Tingzhi's expectations.

It didn't mention half of the words related to the exception of the imperial examination, and it even revealed a kind of meaning that made him extremely uncomfortable and disliked.

That premonition is vague.

He is taciturn, but his temperament is not humble, and there is an arrogance in his bones, but he rarely shows it.

That day, bowed head to Lu Jinxi and knelt down, which was almost the limit.

She mentions this word at this moment, obviously it doesn't seem to have any good intentions.

So Xue Tingzhi was silent for a moment, and after a while, he replied in a low voice, "Tingzhi doesn't know."

"You don't like to kowtow, neither do I."

This is a rare frank statement from Lu Jinxi. She lowered her eyes and used her transparent fingernails to gently hook the lines of the peacock embroidery on this gorgeous dress today, her voice soft.

"When you begged me, you only asked me to kowtow once; but I went to beg the emperor for you, and I knelt down three times for the peace ceremony, and I knelt twice when I saw the emperor alone..."

The count is clear, it is actually six times.

Later, when Fang Shaoxing was making trouble at the gate of the palace, the emperor also came, and she naturally knelt with everyone.

Even in his previous life, Lu Jinxi had never kneeled so much.

There was an indescribable smirk on her lips.

When he raised his eyes again, he met Xue Tingzhi's eyes.

The dark pupils were covered with dark light, and there was a little bit of hostility. There doesn't seem to be anything on the face, it's an understatement, but the hand hanging by the side has been quietly clenched.

He didn't speak.

However, Lu Jinxi met his gaze and continued with a smile: "You remember clearly, if there is a next time, if you want to ask me again, I will go out to kowtow a few times, and you will kowtow to me a few times; what I paid, You owe me something. There is nothing in the world that you can eat for free, and this is because I am your first-mother. In the future, you will ask others, but you have to think clearly whether you can afford the price. "

The price of begging...

Face is often the lightest one.

What I am most afraid of is the debt that cannot be repaid, the debt of friendship that cannot be repaid.

In a sense, this is not only expressing his dissatisfaction, but also beating Xue Tingzhi.

But at his age, in such a situation...

It may sound embarrassing.

Xue Tingzhi replied in a low voice: "Yes, Tingzhi remember."

She had already kowtowed at the beginning, but Lu Jinxi actually had no idea of ​​asking people to kowtow to her according to the human head. When he begged her, she was just because she couldn't stand Xue Tingzhi's begging attitude.

Well now, the posture is low.

Instead, it made her feel that she shouldn't humiliate him.

But none of this matters.

Lu Jinxi didn't take this son to heart, just thought about half of his foreign blood and his father who treated him very well, and then he didn't sell anything.

"I reported the matter to the emperor, but the emperor did not give the right words."

In the end, it's still human.

Lu Jinxi lowered his eyes again, recalling what he said to the emperor in the Qianqing Palace before, and what he needed to do afterward, and then slowly talked about the history and origin.

Finally, he said: "So this matter itself, the emperor agreed, but whether it can be done depends on the current court situation. On the military commander's side, because of your identity, if I go to talk about it, there should be no problem. ; On the side of Wenchen, it depends on the means of the emperor. But I pondered, the general trend, the problem should not be big. No matter what the final result of this matter is, I will do everything I can for you. You can feel at ease. If you go back and read books for a few days, even if things change in the future and you cannot participate in the imperial examinations, you may not have the ability to settle down."

These words can be regarded as soft words.

Her voice was originally soft, and when she spoke like this, it was such a quiet night that Xue Tingzhi felt as if she could hear the sound of flowers blooming.

For a moment, he raised his head, her eyes were faint and her words were flickering, and it was engraved in the bottom of her heart.

If in the past, she was the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara enshrined in the temple, at this moment, she was stained with a bit of red dust, as if she was close to people...

He clearly remembered that this first-mother didn't like him.

He should have been confused, alert, and even fearful of her changed attitude. But instead of not, he was even a little intoxicated, a little nostalgic, a little fascinated...

I just hope that the voice will continue, and the figure will not go away.

It's just that no matter how long it is, there is a time to finish it.

When it came to the end, Lu Jinxi only said: "The rest, if there is any further progress, I will send someone to inform you, or ask you to come over. It's getting late, so go back and rest."

So everything that has been created, or that can be unfolded in the future, is hidden in this moment.

All the divine light in the bottom of his eyes was covered up.

Xue Tingzhi listened to her faint voice, took a half step back, bowed and said: "Mother also rest early, Tingzhi retire."

Lu Jinxi nodded, didn't get up, just watched him back out.

When the waiter was gone, she turned to the side of the cup of tea that was already a little cold.

When Qingque saw this, she was about to come up and change her a hot one. She shook her head and refused to let her change, so she took a sip at will, but her eyes were a little dazed.
