Chapter 31 Can a summons come?
A Ke sent Xu Qilin out, closed the door and walked back slowly, lowered his head, and was still thinking about Xu Qilin's words, and he couldn't quite understand the beauty of a mixed-race child.
However, from what he said, the abscess on Sister Liu's face can be cured, which is really good news for Sister Fan.
Sitting on Hu's bench for a while, A Ke heard a serene voice and asked softly: "Sister, are you awake? Are you thirsty? I'll pour you water."
"No need." Fan Tuantuan turned his head slightly, smiled, and said, "You should take a rest too!"
"I'm not tired." A Ke reported the good news to Fan Tuantuan excitedly, "Xu Xiaolang came to see you just now, and he said that what was on your face, what was on your face--"
"Doudou, right?" Fan Tuantuan stretched out his hand lovingly, gently stroked the bruises on A Ke's face, and asked with heartache: "Does it still hurt here?"
"It doesn't hurt." A Ke shook his head gently and continued, "It turns out that Sister A has heard it all. He said you have the beauty of a mixed-race child, and you are a charming beauty!"
"Silly girl." Fan Tuantuan smiled bitterly and said, "Who reveals the shortcomings in front of others? Do you really believe the good words of right and wrong?"
"I, I think he seems to be sincere." A Ke pouted and said stammeringly.
"Okay, let's not talk, I want to sleep for a while. You can also go to bed to rest. I will call you if there is something." Fan Tuantuan said in a sigh, and slowly closed his eyes.

As soon as people get busy, time passes quickly.
Xu Qilin worked overtime and finally completed the "big cause" one day ahead of schedule.
On the one hand, he offered to gain recognition early so that his sister would not always urge him to study; on the other hand, he was worried that if he was too late, he would not show any importance.
"Did you tell me everything to my sister yesterday?" Xu Qilin woke up in the morning and asked his sister Xiao Zhao with concern while guiding his subordinates to load the car carefully.
Xiao Zhao lit her little head, but her eyes were staring at the frames covered with linen and numbered wooden frames that were carried into the car. She asked curiously: "Brother, what is this? It's mysterious and I won't let you see it."
"You have to have suspense, then you will have expectations." Xu Qilin raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Today I will open your eyes. Well, it will also surprise His Majesty and his sister."
"So amazing?" Xiao Zhao's mouth was cured and her stomach was conquered. She believed in her brother's words, "Then let's go quickly!"
"No hurry, the morning court has not yet passed!" Xu Qilin touched his chin, but unfortunately he had no beard. "It would be shocking to appear in front of His Majesty and make a brilliant appearance!"
"Then I'll go first." Xiao Zhao said: "It's too late, let Your Highness wait, I'll say what my sister wants to say."
Xu Qilin asked his servants to take good care of his younger sister and kept watching her walk away by car.

Tai Chi Palace, the political center of the Tang Dynasty, is located in the northern center of Chang'an City. According to the "Book of Changes", it symbolizes the supreme Arctic Ziwei Star.
However, the designers at that time only cared about the majesty of imperial power, but ignored the terrain of Chang'an City itself and built the Tai Chi Palace in the lowest terrain of Chang'an City.
Therefore, every summer, the Tai Chi Palace will become very hot and cold; it will rain and become cold and humid.
After the morning court was over, His Majesty Li Er moved to Ganlu Hall and summoned Xu Hui to come.
Ganlu Hall is the place where the emperor studied in the inner palace. It is ranked as the main political hall Taiji Hall and the third largest hall besides the Liangyi Hall.
But no matter how grand and magnificent the palace was, it could not change the hot weather. The palace servants placed a few pots of ice in the palace, which made His Majesty Li Er feel a little cooler.
Should I go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat? His Majesty Li Er thought of this. After waiting for a while, Xu Hui was summoned, so he picked up the draft of the "Clan" just presented and read it.
But the more you look down, the more your Majesty Li Er frowned and displeased.
As early as the sixth year of Zhenguan, when His Majesty Li Er and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling talked about the problems of selling marriages in modern gentry, they put forward the suggestion that "there are both serious and serious, and the rationality must be reformed."
Subsequently, he issued an order to revise the Minister of Personnel Gao Shilian, Censor Wei Ting, Secretary of the Secretariat Cen Wenben, and Minister of Rites Linghu Defen, so as to "publish the official surname" and write the book "Clan Chronicle".
In the early Tang Dynasty, the gentry had four major regional groups, and each had its own preferences: Shandong gentry Shang Maria, Jiangzuo gentry Shang people, Guanzhong gentry Shang Guanqian, and Northern gentry Shang Guiqiu.
The Jiangzuo and Daibei gentry had already declined at this time; the Shandong gentry led by Cui, Lu, Zheng, Li and Wang were deeply rooted in the fight against peasant wars and still had a certain force by the Tang Dynasty.
The ministers of the Xiang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, married the Shandong gentry, so that the Shandong gentry still retained their social status.
The strength of the gentry's power is of course not good for the imperial power. His Majesty Li Er especially cannot tolerate Shandong gentry being above the royal family.
But now, when His Majesty Li Er saw the first draft of the "Clan Chronicle", he still ranked Cui Mingan, a gentry in Shandong. Of course, he was not satisfied and very angry.
The weather was stuffy and dissatisfied with reading books. Xu Hui was delayed again. His Majesty Li Er felt irritable, and his bearded face became more and more gloomy.
The palace servants outside were circulated and Xu Hui came to see him.
His Majesty Li Er threw down the "Clanography" and picked up another book to unfold it. He was furious in his heart, but he couldn't read a single word.
Xu Hui stepped into Ganlu Hall, folded her clothes and bowed. She had finished saluting her. His Majesty Li Er snorted and there was nothing to say.
Looking at His Majesty Li Er's cold and frosty black face, Xu Hui thought about it and guessed the reason why His Majesty was depressed.
Xu Hui still looked as if she was calm and gentle, with a smile on her face as spring. She walked to the desk and took a pen to write a poem.
"Your Majesty, I occasionally have a simple poem, so I will also read and review it." Xu Hui walked to His Er's place with the poetic paper, bent her knees and spread them with a smile.
His Majesty Li Er was as heavy as water, looking at him squint. The snow-white paper was filled with beautiful handwriting, and a small poem came to his eyes.
"The morning comes to the mirror platform, and after makeup, I wander for a while. The daughter starts to smile, can she come with a summoning?"
People get up early in the morning and dress up carefully in front of the mirror. As the saying goes, "Women are pleased by others." After dressing up, they are naturally waiting for your summons.
But there are many concubines in the harem, and I am worried that Your Majesty may not summon me. So, after I finished dressing up, I was still at a loss and my heart was ups and downs.
At this moment, Your Majesty, you sent someone to summon me. Just as you were about to come over directly, but after thinking about it carefully, hesitated again.
Why? The beloved concubine of ancient emperors spent a thousand gold to buy a smile. How could I come here happily as soon as I heard your greeting?
