"No need, no need, I didn't plan anything, I just think your shop has a different and novelty, and I can't go wrong if I want to write an article," the boy said.

"That's natural, our small shop is really not comparable to any of them," the shopkeeper said proudly.

"But don't worry, we said in the store that there will be rewards, and of course there will be, and you will need some money if you want to stay in the store." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and went to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, I'm a scholar, if you use money to insult me, it's absolutely unacceptable," the boy said and shook his head.

Although the young man looked young, he did not expect to be so clean and self-sufficient. The shopkeeper secretly gave the young man a compliment.

"My small shop is famous for the wine that the people queuing outside want to buy. How about this, how about I give you a few jugs of wine?" The shopkeeper looked at the boy.

"No, no,... If I need it, I can go to the queue by myself like the crowd outside. How can a gentleman want what he has bought?" The young man shook his head.

"You don't want this or that, it really baffles me," the shopkeeper said truthfully.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, please arrange for me to meet the author as soon as possible. This is the greatest reward for me," the boy said with a smile.

"It's natural, I'll definitely arrange it as soon as possible, but I still hope you can bring back a few jugs of wine." The shopkeeper said as he stretched out his hand to pull the boy.

"Since the shopkeeper is like this, if I try to evade it, it will be stingy, then just give me an altar," the boy said.

"Okay, no problem," said the shopkeeper, and went inside to fetch a jug of wine and handed it to the boy.

The young man took the wine and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll be waiting for your news at the inn."

Then he set off and walked out.

The centurion, the old boy, has been listening outside, and then saw the young man come out with a jar of wine,

He said to himself: "Let this kid take the lead, I am really stupid in reading, and I can sell hundreds of silver for several jars."

What the centurion didn't know was that his muttering was just overheard by the shopkeeper who was about to go out, and the shopkeeper shook his head, it was really mud that couldn't support the wall.

The shopkeeper explained all the work in his hand, and was ready to enter the palace.

Before coming out, I asked the kitchen to make Xiao Zihan's favorite beggar's chicken and brought it over.

At the gate of the palace, the shopkeeper handed over his card.

The military service guard at the gate saw the card in his hand and hurried in to report.

The shopkeeper's hand card was given by the queen empress Xiao Zihan herself. At that time, she had clearly told the guards at the city gate for military service that if they saw this card, they could directly meet the empress empress.

The soldier ran all the way to the gate of the inner palace with the card in his hand, and handed it over to the soldier on duty in the inner palace, saying that he wanted to see the empress.

The military service in the inner palace didn't dare to delay when they saw the cards in hand, so they hurried to the empress's bedroom.

The imperial palace is very large, the distance from the guard gate to the inner palace is about half an hour, and then from the guard of the inner palace to the bedroom where the master lives, it takes at least half an hour.

The military service in the inner palace almost ran all the way to the door of the empress's bedroom.

Although it is military service in the inner palace, the right is only at the door of the bedroom, and further inside is the scope of power of the eunuchs in the bedroom.

When Lin Yi was building the palace before, he specially made a place similar to the guard's office, which was specially responsible for notification.

The inner palace military service took the card in his hand to the gate guard, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Eunuch Sun, the humble job is today's military service in the Inner Palace. Just now the military service at the city gate sent a hand card awarded by the empress, saying that someone is waiting at the gate of the city?" While speaking, he handed the card with both hands.

Eunuch Sun was resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes slowly.

Then he stood up and looked at the military service in the inner palace, and then he looked at the hand card in the military service's hand, there was a word Xiao written on it.

Seeing this, Eunuch Sun hurriedly took the cards with both hands.

"It really belongs to our master, just wait a minute, I'll go in and inform the empress empress" said and walked out from the side door.

Before he took two steps, he happened to see the Empress Dowager with a bunch of maids and women messing around in the yard.

"Slave to join the Queen's Empress" Eunuch Sun made a big ceremony of paying homage.

The empress was leading her maid to collect dew on the flowers and leaves, when she heard the sound, she stopped.

"Come on, get up and talk, what's the matter?" On the surface, Xiao Zihan said so, but as a person in the 21st century, Xiao Zihan felt a little embarrassed every time he heard someone asking for safety.

Therefore, it is always the first time to make people calm down and answer.

Eunuch Sun also knew that the empress was approachable, but he only stood up after being ordered to stand up, but he also bowed his body.

"Just now, the Inner Palace military service is reporting with your hand card, saying that someone outside the city gate wants to see you." He also handed out the hand card with both hands.

The servant girl saw Xiao Zihan's wink, immediately took the hand card from Eunuch Sun, and presented it to Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan looked at the cards in his hand, all the cards in his hand were numbered, and it was recorded who gave each card to him.

Xiao Zihan recalled the card in his hand with 14 written on it. With his memory, he naturally remembered who it was.

"You go back to your military service and let him bring someone to wait outside the gate of His Majesty's Qinzheng Hall." Xiao Zihan looked at Eunuch Sun and said.

"No, the slave will go right away." After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to delay, he bowed his head and exited to answer.

Eunuch Sun went out of the yard and walked to the gate guard. He saw that the military service was still waiting outside the door.

"The empress said, let you bring someone to wait at the gate of Qinzheng Hall." Eunuch Sun said to the military service.

"No, this servant will take someone to wait at the gate of Qinzheng Hall." After speaking, he saluted Eunuch Sun. Only then did he set off to walk back.

Xiao Zihan took the cards in his hand, and asked someone to bring the newly collected dew, and then walked towards the Palace of Qinzheng.

At this time, Lin Yi should have retired for the morning, but today I was busy collecting dew, so I didn't have breakfast with him.

Xiao Zihan, as the empress, walked in the palace, so she naturally had to be driven in a sedan chair.

The servant girl hastily ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair long after Xiao Zihan told the visitor to wait at the gate of Qinzheng Palace.

Just waiting for the Queen's empress to give an order, they set off.

Xiao Zihan asked the maid to carefully hold the jar filled with dew. He himself sat on the sedan chair.

"You, the responsibility is heavy. Whether His Majesty can drink the Longjing before the rain depends on your holy water." Xiao Zihan said with a smile to the maid holding the jar.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant must be careful, and walk over safely with your Majesty's heart." The servant girl also said with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Zihan nod her head, the maid said softly, "Get up the sedan chair".

Because sitting in a sedan chair, walking must be much faster than walking by yourself.

Besides, Qinzheng Hall was not far from Xiao Zihan's bedroom, so Lin Yi specially chose the palace closest to him for Xiao Zihan.

The slaves outside the Hall of Qinzheng saw the queen's phoenix driving towards him from a long distance, and hurried in to report.

You must know that our emperor would rather bask in the sun by himself, but he would not want the queen to be hot at all. If the empress frowned, it would be a big deal in the eyes of the emperor.

So the slaves, too, may be a little negligent about other things, but as long as it is about the empress's affairs, they will definitely take it seriously.

By the time the servants on duty went in to report, Xiao Zihan's sedan chair had already entered the gate of Qinzheng Palace.

When Lin Yi came out to pick up Xiao Zihan, Xiao Zihan had already got off the sedan chair.

"See Your Majesty" Xiao Zihan quickly saluted Lin Yi.

"Queen, please get up quickly." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to support Xiao Zihan, and then took Xiao Zihan's hand to walk inside.

"Didn't you say in the morning that you are very busy today and don't have time to be with me?" Lin Yi smiled and looked at Xiao Zihan.

"It's like this. I took a maid to collect a jar of dew. According to ancient records, this dew is rootless water, that is, holy water. It's the best for making tea." Xiao Zihan said and withdrew his hand .

He waved his hand towards the maid behind him, then pointed to the table and said, "Put the jar here."

The servant girl got the order and hurriedly put the jar on the table.

"Okay, I don't need you to wait inside for the time being, go outside and wait." Xiao Zihan said softly.

"No," the servant girl hurriedly retreated. The servant girl said in her heart, I don't want to be an eyesore there, and the queen empress is wise enough to let me out.

"Where did you put the Yuqian Dragon Well that was newly tributed the day before yesterday? Now I have time and I can make tea for you." Xiao Zihan said and prepared to boil water.

"Just let the servants do these things." Lin Yi took Xiao Zihan's hand.

"Then how can it be the same? This is the dew I collected myself." Xiao Zihan looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

"But I don't want you to be tired either." Lin Yi shook his head, but still disagreed with letting Xiao Zihan boil the water.

"Okay, okay, I listen to you, then you can let someone boil the water, and I'll make the tea." Xiao Zihan leaned on Lin Yi's chest and said softly.

"No problem, Xiao Xiazi come in," Lin Yi shouted towards the door.

Xiao Xiazi, who was waiting outside the door, heard the emperor calling him, and hurriedly replied "No".

Then he walked inside: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Go, boil the water brought by the Empress on the table and bring it here again." Lin Yi put his arm around Xiao Zihan, and pointed to the jar on the table with the other.

Xiao Xiazi didn't even dare to lift his eyes, walked to the edge of the table with his head down, carefully embraced the jar on the table, and hurriedly backed out.

"By the way, someone wanted to see me with the number 14 hand card just now. I asked Eunuch Sun to tell the military service officer to meet you here." Xiao Zihan looked up at Lin Yi and said, and at the same time handed the hand card in his hand to Lin Yi .

Lin Yi took the hand card that Xiao Zihan handed over, and carefully looked at it: "It is indeed from us," Lin Yi said with certainty.

"That's right, this is from the shopkeeper of the hotel. Didn't someone send an article over a few days ago, I think it has something to do with this incident," Xiao Zihan analyzed.

"It should be. It seems that Dayou Country still has a lot of talents." Lin Yi nodded.

The two chatted about some personal matters again... and Xiao Xiazi's water was boiled in a short while.

Xiao Xiazi carried the boiled water and announced it outside the door, and only came in with the water after Lin Yi's order.

At this time Xiao Zihan had already prepared all the tea and was just waiting for the water to come.

Seeing Xiao Xiazi coming with water, Xiao Zihan said: "Don't put it down, just pour it into this teapot." After saying that, he took off the lid of the teapot.

Xiao Xiazi hurriedly walked over in three steps and one step at a time, and poured water into it according to Xiao Zihan's request.

"Okay, just put the rest of the water on the table," Xiao Zihan said.

"No," Xiao Xiazi hurriedly followed Xiao Zihan's instructions, and put the kettle in his hand on the table.

"Xiao Xiazi, after a while, the military service in the inner palace will bring people over, you can just bring them in." Lin Yi was sitting on his throne at this time.

"No," said Xiao Xiazi, turning his body towards Lin Yi, making a gesture with his hand on his chest, and then backed out.

Before the tea was ready, Xiao Xiazi came in and passed, saying that someone had arrived.

Lin Yi asked him to bring people in.

Seeing Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan, the shopkeeper quickly knelt on the ground and saluted, "I have seen the emperor and the empress".

"Pingshen" Lin Yi is gentle and can drip water when facing Xiao Zihan and his daughter, but after all, he is the emperor of a country, and he is still very majestic in front of outsiders.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Empress!" The shopkeeper got up from the ground. But as a subordinate, you still have to bow your body.

"You came today, is it because the empress asked you to make progress?" Lin Yi asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's true. I feel that this matter has a lot to say, so I am anxious to come to the palace to meet the empress." After all, the shopkeeper has met Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan many times.

Therefore, although he was nervous when speaking, he was able to answer freely.

"It was sent to you yesterday, but there is news today?" Xiao Zihan looked suspicious.

"Yes, ma'am," said the shopkeeper, bowing her body to Xiao Zihan again.

"What do you mean when you say there are articles?" Xiao Zihan took the initiative when Lin Yi signaled for him to ask.

"Listen to me slowly." Then the shopkeeper told Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan about the boy's appearance and the process of leaving his name.

"According to what you said, this young man from UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is this year's number one scholar Qian Dengke?" Xiao Zihan analyzed.

"The little one thinks it is," said the shopkeeper.

"But this year's civil and military champions have already returned to their hometowns to serve. Didn't Qian Dengke go back?" Xiao Zihan looked at Lin Yi and said.

"Hui Niangniang, I feel that there is something wrong with this, so I came to see you in a hurry." The shopkeeper thought Xiao Zihan's words were addressed to himself, so he answered.

"If this boy is really Qian Dengke, then who is that person who faces the saint?" Xiao Zihan said to himself.

"If this is true, wouldn't it be the same as our college entrance examination results being topped by others? If this is true, then the nature is too bad," Xiao Zihan said angrily.

"Shopkeeper, let me ask where is that boy of yours now?" Xiao Zihan looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"This is his address that the little one left, he should still be in the student inn," said the shopkeeper, and handed the paper in his hand to Xiao Zihan.
