"Do you want a woman from the royal family or the Three Young Nobles?" "When I came here, I already thought about it. There aren't many suitable women within the imperial family. After all, the imperial women are married early, and the remaining ones are the late emperor's Princess Li An, Princess Yun An, and …"
"Your majesty!" Cobb roared suddenly.
This shout startled Zhao Jing so much that he abruptly shrunk his body and suddenly sat on the ground. The two stared at each other for a long time before they recovered from the shock.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? I am not deaf! " Zhao Jing rubbed his ears that had suffered through the ordeal and angrily sat back down in front of the case. "Uncle Ke, how dare you! Even the Regent's Father doesn't dare to yell at me like that! You've really eaten the guts of a bear!" With this strength, why are you shouting at me when you're trying to use it on a woman? "
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zhao Jing chewed on the pastry in his mouth and smirked. "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Your heart and body are part of the imperial court, and your heart is part of the world. You are unwilling to marry!" Cobb kowtowed, "This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for your grace. Long live and long live our Emperor!"
Zhao Jing lifted his feet and propped himself up with one foot, his arm resting on his bent knees. "I've heard quite a few stories. I've only heard of people who insist on not marrying, those who do not give up. I've never seen you so stubborn that you don't want to get married! Could it be that the ladies of this world are unable to enter the Prime Minister's eyes? Your Prime Minister, do you want a Celestial Immortal or a Chang'e? Or do you have someone you like? "
"No!" Cobb shook his head.
Zhao Jing thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "Oh." Then he looked at Uncle Ke with sympathy. "I …" "Understood!" "My condolences!"
Cobbette's eyes widened in shock, "No!" Your Majesty, your subject is not sick! This subject is very well! This subject just does not want to get too close to a woman! "
"Monks don't get close to women, you're not bald!" Zhao Jing pouted. "Don't try to lie to me. I'm almost thirteen, and I'm not even a three year old child!" "Master Ke, don't worry. I won't be a reckless matchmaker. I will definitely help you pay attention!" "I will not send those useless embroidered pillows to your Prime Minister's estate. Otherwise, if you are dissatisfied and cause trouble in the imperial court, I will not be a good matchmaker!"
Cobb sighed deeply. "Your Majesty, won't this subject be able to go back?" This subject will definitely properly assist the Emperor and will not dare to stay at home to recuperate! Your majesty, please let this humble subject go! This humble subject thanks you! "
Zhao Jing tilted his head as he looked at him, as if he were thinking about something. After a long while, Zhao Jing said regretfully, "Since the beloved one sincerely begs me, I can't force you, can I?" "I promise you, we won't mess around with lovers!" Saying that, he continued, "But I will still take note of it for you. After all, you can't watch my loyal subjects become old men who no one wants, forever lonely and old!"
"Thank you …" "Your majesty!" Cobb began with an ashen face. Taking off the brocade on his body and the string around his neck, he placed the staff and Jade Guanyin respectfully at the side. "This subject has heard that Your Majesty has been sick for the past two days, so why is it so bad? The servants serving by his side were really insensible. The emperor was so sick, yet they dared to bring the emperor out of the palace. Truly … "
"Don't blame those servants. I was the one who wanted them out!" Zhao Jing blinked his eyes. "Actually, I'm not really sick. Not to mention, I've long since gotten used to being sick all these years!" Besides, if I don't go, will the Daughter Council fulfill my wish? If the Prime Minister's mansion has a high gate, who would be able to move you? "
Uncle Ke's expression darkened. He finally understood the meaning behind Zhao Jing's words. Therefore, Zhao Jing had specially come to ask him to leave the estate and ask him to be the head of the court. However, the imperial government had the Residence of Regent. With Zhao Jing's actions, wasn't it obvious that he was going against the Residence of Regent? Zhao Jing and Dongfang Wenming weren't allies?
"This subject is terrified. What does Your Majesty mean by this? Could something have happened in the imperial court? " "My Lord." Cobalt hastened to pay his respects, with a respectful expression on his face, as if he really had no idea what was going on.
What else could Zhao Jing say? If you play the fool, would she be able to eat you? Zhao Jing was still young, so he didn't dare to swallow this great Buddha!
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jing could only sigh. "I'm not that interested. I just feel that there's a good talent within the court. How can I just leave it empty?" The Prime Minister is one of the pillars of Grand Xia. Although I am not talented, I know that I should not disappoint the heavens. I only hope that the world is at peace. As for everything else … "I don't care which side you stand on. As long as you are sincere for the common people, I don't care about anything else!"
Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back as he looked outside the door. "I can't come out for too long. It's time to go back!" I have messed with the Prime Minister for so long, I hope you do not mind, my dear minister.
"Your majesty?" There was an unfathomable expression on Cobalt's face. He let out a soft 'hum' from his mouth, but didn't say anything more. He just stood there, not expecting these words to come out of the mouth of a twelve-year-old youth. What made him even more surprised was that the feeling of being dwarfed grew in his heart. The world, the people … Once upon a time, he held this kind of fear and trepidation in his heart, and eventually had no hope of returning! But now, he was inferior to a child!
"That's it!" Zhao Jing looked at him and smiled. "I know that you are different from the Imperial Tutor. The Imperial Tutor can even give up on his own son, but you are a person who values friendship." You are not the same as Dong Fang Ming. Dong Fang does not understand that there are secrets in your heart, but your heart is filled with righteousness. "
"Your Majesty …" "How do you know?" Cobb's eyes darkened. He tried his best to remember if he had made a mistake. Otherwise, how could this youth see through it? He was already in his early twenties, but he didn't expect that a young man would be able to see through his thoughts. He couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed … Fortunately, he wasn't angry yet. After all, the world was too big, and it was hard to find someone you could depend on!
"Feel!" Zhao Jing laughed loudly. "I have always felt that it was very accurate. If the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, we'll see!" As she spoke, she opened the door to go out, but when the wind blew, she could not help but cough, her small face red and white.
"Your majesty?" "It's windy out there. Please be careful!"
"No worries!" Zhao Jing furrowed his brows and walked out of the room. "When that time comes, Liu Xuande will be too inexperienced to bother me. I'm already satisfied with the Prime Minister's magnanimous gesture!" Zhao Jing's body shrank back due to the severe cold. Even though Wei Shuge had put on the cloak for her, Zhao Jing still felt cold. His lips quivered uncontrollably as he replied, "No need to send me back to the palace!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live and long live our Emperor!"
When Zhao Jing left and the Prime Minister's Estate, Prince Fu came running back to find his master still standing in his original position, bowing. Prince Fu froze for a moment before bowing and whispering, "The first minister, the emperor has already left. You …"
He slowly straightened up, realizing that he had lost his mind. He glanced at the servants and maidservants beside him, and said hoarsely, "You're twisting your waist! "Help me up!"
Fuzi panicked and immediately went to help Ke call her back. "Master, be careful of your body. Walk slowly. This servant will send someone to find a doctor!"
"No need, just rest for a bit!" Kobold lay down on the soft couch, and the moment the door closed, he called out again, "Fuzi, take out the box in the hidden compartment on the bookcase."
He went to the secret compartment and took out the box. Looking at the dust on it, Fuzi blew gently and wiped it with his sleeve. "Master, didn't Madame pass this to you before she died?" He said that it was left behind by the old master. "
Fuzi handed the box over with a puzzled expression. "Master, why did you take this out?" Ever since his young master got the title, he had never opened it again. His young master didn't even want to take a look at it. After the late emperor passed away, the young master became the Prime Minister, and this was thrown into the secret compartment. Prince Fu thought that his young master would never open it again for the rest of his life. He didn't expect that his young master would have such thoughts after the young emperor had left!
Cobb stared fixedly at the box in Fuzi's hand. "This was left to me by my father. You heard what my mother said before she left." He lowered his eyes and laughed in a mocking manner.
"This servant was picked up by Madam. If it weren't for the food that the Young Master and Madam gave me, this servant would have died a long time ago!" Fuzi sighed. "That year, Madame said not to let young master enter the imperial court again. "The Bai Clan has long since disappeared from the world, they shouldn't …"
Fuzi did not dare to continue speaking, lowering his head.
"Master, your waist …"
"Just now, I was just trying to hide it from others!" "It was faked!"
Fuzi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good!" "That's good!"
"Do you know why my mother said that?" Cobb took the box to the table, reached into his coat, and pulled out a chain. There was a small key hanging from the chain. It was usually hung around his neck and covered his clothes, so no one could see it.
Fuzi thought for a moment. "It's probably because of Master!"
"My father risked his life for the sake of the Da Xia Empire, but because of the slander of a villain, he ended up like this. My mother was very disappointed with the imperial court, so she didn't want the Bai Clan's children to take another step into the imperial court. She said, I'm most like my father, so stubborn! If there comes a day when I am sufficiently prepared to become a peerless hero like my father, I will be able to open it. Otherwise, you are not allowed to disrespect the heroic spirits of the ancestors of my Bai Clan! "
While he was speaking, he had already opened the box.
But... He did not stretch out his hand, but stared quietly at the contents of the box.
Inside the box, there was only a single blood letter. Due to the sealing ability of the box, as well as the fact that Cobalt had never opened it before, the blood within the box was still eye-catching and bright red to this day. As the wind blew, the color of the blood gradually dimmed and turned into a dark brown color.
"Master, this is …" Did you change your mind? " Fuzi looked at Cobalt with a puzzled expression. Fuzi had only seen Young Master's expression once before. That was after Young Master had entered the Supreme Fu Mansion!
He gently caressed the book with his finger, and his eyes reddened as he remembered his mother's last words. She said, "The rolling sand war horses mourn, but Lord White Bone does not return. "Since ancient times, Yellow Sand has buried its loyal bones, gazing at the distant city filled with joy."
In the next moment, Cobalt slammed the box shut, "Enjoying the city!"
