Chapter 302 Bloody Smell
Chapter 302 Bloody Smell
On the Jiantai beside the Taiye Lake, Qin Zhi, wearing an apricot-colored robe with four dragon patterns, had his back to the crowd, looking lazy and relaxed.
His brows were slightly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips. Light golden light sprinkled down, giving him a soft halo.
The palace maids and eunuchs stood quietly on both sides of the stage.
Qin Zhi held the fish food in one hand and scattered it casually. The silver fish tails on the water surface flipped in the rippling waves and competed for the fish food.
Wei Zhun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, came with his men, approaching from afar, and stopped when they were five steps behind Qin Zhi.
"Your Majesty, I, Wei Zhun, greet you. May your Majesty be in good health."
"I'm fine." Qin Zhi didn't look back and continued to sprinkle fish food in small handfuls.
"You have a strong smell of blood on your body. It has been stuck on your body all night and you haven't washed it off yet. I remember that you were very clean. I thought Si Yu was here because of this bloody smell. You almost scared away my fish."
Qin Zhi turned around, looked at Wei Zhun with a smile, and said jokingly.
Si Yu, the commander of the Jingji Division, was brutal and cruel, and liked to do things himself. He often had a lingering smell of blood on his body. When the smell was serious, it filled the noses of people nearby, and it was so oppressive that most people didn't dare to look him in the eye.
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wei Zhun, was a very clean person and rarely got covered in blood. Even if he was splashed with blood, he would wash it off immediately and smell refreshed.
So Qin Zhi usually likes to play chess with him indoors and go fishing with Si Yu outdoors.
"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. The fish you raise are not ordinary fish. If there really is a Dragon Gate in mythical legend, the fish you raise must be divine fish that can transform into dragons. How could they be scared away by a little blood on my body?"
"And I have no choice. Your Majesty is waiting for news from me. If I go home to bathe and change clothes before coming back to see you, Your Majesty will chop me into pieces and feed them to the fish."
"Speaking of which, Your Majesty hasn't asked me to play chess with you for a long time. Has I fallen out of favor?"
Wei Zhun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, said with a smile.
"You are the only one who talks too much. Are you feeding the fish? I'm afraid these fish will find you coquettish. As for the saying that you have fallen out of favor, I can't remember when I ever favored you."
Qin Zhi scolded with a smile.
"Your Majesty, these fish, big and small, are so fat that they can hardly swim. Your Majesty really knows how to raise them!"
"Don't praise if you don't know how to praise. How is the matter going?" Qin Zhi handed the empty plate of fish food to Zhang Deli behind him and clapped his hands.
"I am very fortunate to have fulfilled my mission."
The banquet held in the palace on the emperor's birthday was not just the harem's business. The harem was the co-organizer, and the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple were the organizers.
At the St. Valentine's Day banquet, a pregnant concubine fell because of some leftovers on the ground, and the matter of accountability implicated many people.
Wei Zhun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was ordered to lead his men to interrogate the man overnight. His silver-red brocade robe was soaked in blood and turned dark brown.
"You are smart, but you don't have any fear. When you led people to break his legs, did you tell them your identity? Did he say anything?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, everyone knows that the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is full of blood and fragrance, even if you don't know it today, you should know it tomorrow.
In the territory of Dayong, apart from me, who else can walk around in the streets with a bloody smell? If he cannot guess my identity, he will not deserve the praise from your majesty.
What did you say? I went up to him and beat him up. I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t say anything either.”
"I love people like him who are smart and dare to think and do at such a young age."
"Your Majesty, what about me? Your Majesty must love me very much."
Qin Zhi sneered, "I don't like people who talk too much. I heard that your wife is about to give birth?"
"Not so soon. There are still three months until the due date. Your Majesty, would you be so kind as to come and drink a glass of wine to celebrate your son's full moon?"
"My son's full moon banquet is too much to drink, how can I have the leisure to drink your son's full moon banquet, but... I can confer a title on your son as my gift."
"Is what your Majesty said true? Then I, a humble servant, would like to thank your Majesty for your great grace on behalf of my good-for-nothing son."
Wei Zhun was somewhat surprised. He bowed down joyfully and expressed his gratitude.
"Once you're done, go jump into the moat and wash yourself. How can your pregnant wife stand the smell of you?" Qin Zhi bent down and patted Wei Zhun's arm.
"Your Majesty, I will listen to your instructions."
His Majesty was joking, but the concern he expressed at the end inevitably touched Wei Zhun, and his heart was filled with emotions.
