Chapter 97 You still take on this job

Tianqi Palace, the side hall of Chengqi Palace.

When Emperor Xi of Ming heard this, he turned his head and looked at Dugu Yan in an instant and said in surprise: "The beloved concubine has a good relationship with many officials of the Honglu Pavilion?"

When Dugu Yan heard this, he looked at Xiao Jinxi instantly and asked angrily: "Miss Xiao, be careful! When will this palace have a good relationship with the officials of the Honglu Pavilion?"

Xiao Jinxi looked puzzled: "Oh, isn't it? It seems that the minister believed the rumor wrongly. Please forgive me for the concubine."

I heard Emperor Mingxi continue to ask: "What is the rumor? Miss Xiao might as well tell me."

When Dugu Yan heard this, he looked at Emperor Mingxi instantly. His left hand was clenched under the table and exclaimed: "Emperor, how can you believe rumors and misunderstand me! I am dedicated to the emperor."

Emperor Mingxi smiled, and reached out to hold the right hand on Dugu Yan's table, comforting him: "Don't be angry with the beloved concubine, this is just a meal and chatting. It's fine if I have heard of it, how could I trust it easily? I naturally believe it."

Zhu turned his head and looked at Xiao Jinxi and said, "Miss Xiao just treats it as a chat, just say it."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly and said, "Since the emperor wants to hear it, my daughter should tell you everything. My daughter is always aware of the dance skills of the Concubine Xian, and she is even more obsessed with dancing. The people of Persia also like to dance. I heard that many years ago, the envoys of Persia came to the court, and one of them was also very skilled in dancing."

At this moment, Dugu Yan's left hand under the table was tighter, and she wanted to peel Xiao Jinxi off her bones...

Xiao Jinxi continued to say slowly: "When the concubine Xian, who was still in the boudoir at that time, learned about it, she recognized the envoy through the recommendation of the official from the Honglu Pavilion and finally received the guidance of the envoy. I heard that the concubine Xian was really talented and not only learned the characteristic dance skills of Persia, but also had exquisite dance moves, which were amazing."

In the last moment, Xiao Jinxi turned to look at Dugu Yan, smiled slightly, with an expression of admiration on her face. Those who don’t know thought she admired the concubine so much!

An Xue and Xia Han were already laughing secretly in her heart, but her face was still quiet, as if she was a slave who was careful to do his duty and was just to protect her master.

At this moment, when Dugu Yan saw Xiao Jinxi looking at him like this, he immediately became angry and said, "Miss Xiao is really concerned about me. He knows so clearly what happened so many years ago."

Xiao Jinxi smiled slightly and said, "Ah... my father always said that my daughter is eccentric and not as gentle and virtuous as ordinary girls. Now, when the concubine is still in the boudoir, she was already famous and was also a role model for the ladies of the imperial capital. My daughter naturally knew it."

Emperor Mingxi, who was standing beside him, said, "I still don't know that my beloved concubine is proficient in Persian dance. Another day, I will have to dance to me and see."

Dugu Yan suppressed his heart and smiled slightly on his face, and replied, "Yes, the emperor, I obey the order. Since entering the palace, I have been plaguing everything in the harem and I have not danced much, so I have never mentioned it to the emperor that it is my concubine's fault."

"It's okay, a small matter, the beloved concubine doesn't need to worry about it." Emperor Mingxi said.

Then he continued, "Since my beloved concubine is familiar with the officials of the Honglu Pavilion, then the important task of serving as a part-time ritual officer will be handed over to my beloved concubine, okay?"

Dugu Yan frowned. Although she didn't know whether this incident was related to the anger in the imperial study yesterday, she suddenly mentioned it today and it must be different. She said: "Emperor, I was young and ignorant at that time. But I have entered the palace now, and I may lose my face when I show up outside the palace. What's more, the Honglu Pavilion is a matter of the court. As a concubine, I am not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. I really dare not take on this job."

Emperor Mingxi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. My Tianqi Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and my beloved concubine is an example in the harem. It is only a ritual officer, and it is just a part-time job. If my beloved concubine teaches them, it can better show my importance to my Aoqi Law and etiquette. I hope my beloved concubine will not refuse again."

Dugu Yan looked at Emperor Mingxi in confusion. Why did the emperor insist on going to the Honglu Pavilion by himself? Should he accept it? But then he thought about it. After entering the palace, he was restricted everywhere, and it was even more inconvenient to leave the palace. Now that he has this opportunity, he will have a reason to leave the palace in the future!

After a moment, Dugu Yan stood up and bowed and said, "I will follow the order. I will teach everyone in the Honglu Hall well and live up to the emperor's high expectations."

Emperor Mingxi smiled: "It's so good, come, sit down, the meal hasn't been ready yet."

"Yes, the emperor." Dugu Yan replied.

Xiao Jinxi, who was standing beside him, looked at this scene and sneered in his heart, Dugu Yan, even if you have all kinds of doubts, you still took on this job.

Zhu said, "The Empress Xian Concubine has always been famous for her. When the people in the Honglu Pavilion are taught by the Empress, they will definitely achieve great results. In the future, the envoys from all countries will also favor the Empress."

Dugu Yan instantly passed by cold eyes: "Miss Xiao, I am just sharing the worries for the emperor, so please be careful about Miss Xiao."

I heard Emperor Mingxi say, "It's okay. I know that my beloved concubine is dedicated to sharing my worries. If the results are great in the future, this will naturally be the beloved concubine."

Dugu Yan bowed again and said, "I thank the emperor." Although she took this job to have the opportunity to leave the palace frequently, why was she so uneasy...

Emperor Mingxi picked up the wine glass and said again: "It is rare that my beloved concubine has solved this worry for me today. Come, my beloved concubine, Miss Xiao, have a drink to celebrate."

"Yes, the emperor." Dugu Yan picked up the wine glass and replied.

Xiao Jinxi also reached out to pick up the wine glass and sipped it lightly.

And at this moment.

I saw Eunuch Li Yue and Eunuch Li walking in quietly, walking to the side of Emperor Mingxi, and whispering in Emperor Mingxi's ear... Emperor Mingxi's finger holding the wine glass instantly pinched tightly...

After a moment, he stood up and said, "My beloved concubine, I have something to do. Let's take the lead and the beloved concubine will continue to treat Miss Xiao on my behalf."

Dugu Yan looked at it and asked, "Master, what important thing happened?"

Emperor Mingxi replied: "A small matter is a small matter, my beloved concubine doesn't need to worry, I'll leave first."

"I respectfully send you to the emperor." Dugu Yan bowed and bowed.

"My daughter, please send me the emperor." Xiao Jinxi also bowed gently.

Looking at the figure that was leaving, Xiao Jinxi sneered in her heart. She was so anxious. It seemed that the Mo family's letter had arrived...

Xiao Jinxi said again: "Thank you for your hospitality today. But now the emperor is so busy with the government affairs, so you, I can't continue to enjoy the food here. My daughter will leave first."

Dugu Yan stared at the person in front of her, and for a moment, she said, "Forget it. Let's leave. Qiaoer, send Miss Xiao out of the palace."

"Yes, Empress." Qiao'er bowed and replied.
