Chapter 252 I Can Also Rule the World (23)
Feng Xiyu woke up in Qin Liu's arms early in the morning. In a daze, she felt someone kissed her earlobe.
"Stop it!" Feng Xiyu murmured softly. When she regained consciousness, she remembered that she had slept in Qin Liu's Huayu Pavilion last night.
Looking at Qin Liu who was hugging her, Feng Xiyu turned her head away uncomfortably and gently pushed his arm that was on her waist: "A Liu, let me go first, I have to go to court."
"Yes!" Qin Liu smiled and kissed Feng Xiyu on the forehead, "Ayu, I'll wait for you to get off the court, and then we can have breakfast together, okay?"
Feng Xiyu said with some embarrassment: "Today is Ding Qiao's birthday. After the court session, I will go to his Chenyou Garden, so I will not come today."
Qin Liu's smile did not fade. He took Feng Xiyu's hand and placed it on the peach blossom mark on his arm: "Then Ayu, remember to come early. I'm waiting for you!"
It turned out that the two of them just talked it out last night and had some intimate actions, but no substantial relationship occurred.
Feng Xiyu got up and put on her clothes. Qin Liu, who was always lazy, put on an outer robe, dismissed the servants in his palace, and helped her dress herself.
"You don't have to do this!" Feng Xiyu held Qin Liu's hand. "Since I have promised to treat you well, I will definitely do it. You don't need to deliberately try to please me."
Qin Liu took Feng Xiyu's hand and kissed her again: "I'm not trying to curry favor with her, I'm doing this willingly. You and I have wasted too much time, I just want to make up for those regrets."
"You..." When Feng Xiyu wanted to say something, the servant was already outside the door reminding her of the time.
She patted Qin Liu's hand and said, "Then I'll come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Feng Xiyu left Huayu Pavilion.
After she disappeared from Qin Liu's sight, Qin Liu's smile obviously subsided, and the palace servant Aji beside him did not notice the change in his master's expression because he lowered his head.
"Congratulations, Master. It's really a happy ending after all the hard work." Aji hurriedly congratulated Qin Liu, "Your Majesty will definitely come to Huayu Pavilion more often in the future."
"You should leave first!" Qin Liu said without further ado, "I need to take care of business matters. Don't let anyone come and disturb me."
In Kunyuan Kingdom, even those in the imperial palace have a certain degree of freedom.
For example, Han Zhao runs a chain of bookstores. He not only provides poor students with the opportunity to copy books for pay, but also provides food and accommodation for students taking exams.
Of course, these places are provided to students with good academic performance and from poor families.
Speaking of this, we have to explain the imperial examination system of Kunyuan Kingdom.
The Kunyuan Kingdom would not completely deprive men of their social status just because women were respected, so both men and women could participate in the imperial examinations, and once accepted, they could serve as officials in the court.
This is especially true for military generals.
Focus on one, and do it if you have the ability.
It is worth mentioning that when Han Zhao was 20 years old, he had already passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. He was also the youngest assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Kunyuan Kingdom.
Even now that Feng Xiyu has ascended the throne, the two of them still sometimes discuss government affairs together.
There is no such thing as the harem being forbidden from interfering in government affairs in Kunyuan Kingdom.
Not to mention others, Feng Xiyu's father, the former Empress Yuan, once reviewed memorials for her mother before he became a monk!
Qin Liu has outstanding business skills, so even though it is not convenient for him to leave the palace now, he still has many industries under his control. He will sort out the account books of these places regularly and summon the shopkeepers under his control every month.
There is a place called Xuanting in the royal palace of Kunyuan Kingdom, which is used for them to meet guests.
The people who use it on a daily basis are Qin Liu and Han Zhao, after all, they both have businesses outside.
Relatively speaking, Ding Qiao's situation was much simpler. He was the son of a military general in the court and was not well-known at home. He was five years younger than Feng Xiyu.
However, Ding Qiao's father died early. After being seriously injured at the age of three and being rescued by Feng Xiyu, he has been raised in the palace and lived in her former side hall.
Because it was Feng Xiyu who saved him, Ding Qiao has been following the leader of the secret guards to learn martial arts since he regained his memory, hoping that one day he can become Feng Xiyu's secret guard.
But before he finished his studies, the person he admired left Kunyuan Kingdom, so Ding Qiao was in a bad mood for a long time.
Fortunately, Han Zhao comforted him and told him: Feng Xiyu will come back eventually, and being a secret guard does not allow you to get close to her. As long as you do not stand at a certain height at any time, it will be difficult for the other party to see you.
From then on, Ding Qiao worked even harder to learn martial arts. It must be said that as he was born into a family of military generals, he was a talented person. In less than ten years, he became an outstanding expert among the secret guards.
His title "You" has a hint of protection in it. After all, he still has the duty of a secret guard.
As for Shen Meng, he is the weakest one among them. He has neither family support nor any industry. However, he has spent the longest time with Feng Xiyu and is the one who truly grew up with her.
