Chapter 336 New Human
Chapter 336 New Human
"It's Liuguang, your Majesty..." Liuguang corrected her yelling with a smile, not angry at all. This is probably what is called self-cultivation.
"Hua Rong, why did you call him Captain just now? He is not, not that thing..." That official position was too difficult. Ji Anni couldn't remember it for a moment. She vaguely remembered that it seemed to be an inspector.
"Your Majesty, do you want to say the Censor of the Supervisory Ministry?" Liuguang saw that Ji Anni's head was about to smoke from thinking so much, so in order to prevent her from overthinking, he kindly helped her to complete the answer.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Ji Anni excitedly raised a finger and pointed in the air. After hearing this familiar official name spoken by Liuguang, her headache was finally gone. She looked at Liuguang, who had saved her from the sea of suffering, with the eyes of a benefactor, without thinking about who made her so angry.
"Your Majesty, are you wondering why I suddenly changed from a censor of the Ministry of Supervision to a captain of the imperial palace?" Liuguang started talking to Ji Anni as if she was teasing a kitten.
"Yes, yes, you are so smart. That's what I wanted to ask." Ji Anni had been completely led by the other party, and her every move was under the control of the other party.
Liuguang smiled and said, "It's not that simple. It's because I performed outstandingly and was talented that I got promoted."
"Promotion?" Ji Annie narrowed her eyes. She couldn't see any merits in this dude that would warrant a promotion.
He is not ashamed of his outstanding performance and talent. It is more accurate to say that he likes to show off and is unruly.
Liu Guang continued, "After Kang Xiaorong was named Prince Rong, I took over his position and was promoted to the Imperial Palace Commandant. I just took office last night. Your Majesty, we will have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."
As he spoke, he gave Ji Anni an ambiguous look, being affectionate and loving everywhere, exuding his masculine charm regardless of the person or the occasion.
Hua Rong coughed behind them and reminded them, "Captain, your duty is just to guard the side door, and the queen lives deep in the harem, so you have very few opportunities to meet her."
"Really?" Liuguang showed a surprised expression. His pure and sincere eyes didn't seem fake at all, as if he really didn't know what the imperial palace commander should do until just now.
"Is it really okay to let such a person into the palace..." Ji Anni couldn't help but show a suspicious look, and examined Liu Guang from head to toe again. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that this person was frivolous and impetuous, and was not capable of taking on important tasks. If an illegal organization wanted to break into the palace without permission, they would definitely choose him as a breakthrough point.
"Master Liu, you should still be busy. Will chatting here delay your work?" Hua Rong actually wanted to drive Liu Guang away.
"Oh, yes, I still have to go outside the palace to deploy guards." Liuguang then remembered that he still had a mission to complete and couldn't stay here for long. "Then your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he didn't leave in a hurry, but looked at Ji Anni with a smile on his face, as if waiting for Ji Anni to say something.
Ji Anni was stunned for a moment, and was slow to react. She stretched out her right hand to make a farewell gesture and said, "Oh, please take care, sir."
Seeing this, Liuguang left contentedly. The guards had already run away. If it were someone else, they would have chased them all the way, but Liuguang was still walking slowly, like taking a walk, leisurely and contentedly along the roadside. People who didn't know him couldn't tell that he had a mission, and would have thought he came to the palace to enjoy the scenery.
He had just taken a few steps when he met a group of palace maids who turned from the side and joined the path he was taking.
Liuguang waved to them, just like an idol meeting his fans. The maids knew from his clothes that he was a noble, and when they saw him take the initiative to greet them, they all bowed and greeted him flattered. Liuguang walked past them with a smile. Without exception, the maids turned around to look at his tall and handsome back, and several of them even whispered shyly.
These palace maids are not very old, just the right age to admire the Prince Charming. Judging from her appearance alone, Liuguang can indeed be given the title of "youth idol" or "girl killer".
Ji Anni was already dumbfounded, her jaw almost dropped, she murmured in disbelief: "No way... Could it be that he dared to provoke a woman? This is the imperial palace..."
The palace should be the most taboo place in the world for promiscuous relationships between men and women, but this man named Liuguang dared to mess with even the emperor's woman. I don't know how many heads he has to be so bold.
The Ministry of Personnel was really surprised. Why would they make such an unexpected arrangement? They were not afraid of letting a wolf into the house, but actually let that gangster into the palace, and even replaced Kang Xiaorong. They were not afraid that he would abuse his power, seduce the imperial concubine, or harass the palace maids. If there were a few palace scandals, it would be a big deal.
Hua Rong saw that Ji Anni had been staring at Liu Guang's back, and thought that Ji Anni was fascinated by Liu Guang, so she asked, "My lady, what's wrong with you?"
After hearing Hua Rong's call, Ji Anni came back to her senses and said blankly: "Oh, nothing... nothing, I just think he is too weird..."
"Empress, how do you know him?" Hua Rong asked curiously.
"Oh, I once stayed at his house for a night when I was escorting the coffin of Concubine Baogui out of the palace."
Who knew that the next day, he would catch her and kiss her for no apparent reason. Apart from Yun Zhen, this was the first time that Ji Anni was kissed by a man. And Yun Zhen kissed her on behalf of Guibao Fei. In other words, the person she kissed for the first time... turned out to be a lecherous scoundrel?
Woo, woo, woo, why did it happen like this… Thinking of this, Ji Anni fell into the mood of a resentful woman and sobbed in her heart.
Hua Rong did not ask why he went to live in Liu Mansion after sending Baogui Consort's coffin back to the mansion, but told Ji Anni: "Madam, he has been like this since he was a child. When he was a child studying in Wenhua Academy, he was always punished by the teacher and was beaten with a stick, but he just couldn't learn his lesson. He always mixed with the palace maids and always lingered in the palaces of the madams. But he was still young at that time, and everyone loved him. Later, when he grew up, he still didn't change his bad habits. His father was afraid that his son would cause a big disaster, so he took him back to the mansion and locked him up. He wanted to find a wife for him, but he failed after several attempts."
"Why?" Ji Anni found it more and more interesting the more she listened. Although her first impression of Liuguang was very bad, many interesting things seemed to have happened to him, and she couldn't help but become curious.
Hua Rong said, "That's because when he heard that his father was going to marry him to a certain girl, he immediately walked around outside the girl's door the next day with a few prostitutes, as if he was deliberately acting for the neighbors to see. This caused rumors to spread, and no one dared to marry him. There were several times when his parents had clearly accepted the betrothal gifts, but in the end they were returned. I guess there is no girl in the capital who dares to marry him now." As she said this, she sighed.
Huarong, Liuguang, Kang Xiaorong, and Yunzhen are all of similar age and come from official families. They have been studying and learning calligraphy together since they were young, and they are considered childhood friends. Huarong grew up watching Liuguang being beaten by the teacher, and she is worried and disappointed about him. She only hopes that someone more powerful than the Buddha will appear in the future to suppress this wild monkey under the Five Finger Mountain and prevent him from causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
"Haha, he's really funny." Ji Anni couldn't help laughing. "There are actually such funny people in this world. He's obviously lustful, but he doesn't marry a wife. Shouldn't lustful people have many wives and concubines?"
"But he has none." Hua Rong shook her head. "It's strange to say, in all these years, he hasn't caused any trouble related to women."
In other words, his behavior was quite decent. He was clearly flirting with everyone, but in fact, he didn't love anyone. He was just enjoying the ambiguous atmosphere. This lifestyle was very trendy in this feudal dynasty.
After listening to Hua Rong's introduction, Ji Anni became more and more interested in Liuguang, this new human being.
"Since he is so dangerous, why let him enter the palace?" Ji Anni still didn't understand.
Hua Rong guessed, "Perhaps it's because he has performed well in the Supervisory Department recently and has made outstanding achievements. The Ministry of Personnel thought that he had restrained himself, so they promoted him to the rank of Chengdu Wei..."
But when I saw him today, I found that not only had he not restrained himself at all, but he had also cultivated himself to become a spirit, and would not even let go of any palace maids he met on the street.
"Actually, Huarong, you don't have to think too badly of him. Maybe he's just a little more friendly." After saying this, even Ji Anni couldn't believe that she actually spoke up for Liuguang. Maybe it was because she saw the expression on Huarong's face that looked like she wanted to find a whip to beat Liuguang's butt, so Ji Anni couldn't help but sympathize with Liuguang.
Although in this era, people like Liuguang are like aliens, but in the era when Ji Anni lived, playboys of this level were simply in groups, nothing strange. And didn't Hua Rong say just now that Liuguang was just a little frivolous on the surface, and actually did not do anything against human ethics or morality.
"Your Majesty, it's better for you to have less contact with him, so as to avoid rumors spreading and damaging your reputation." This is what Hua Rong is most worried about.
The Queen's coronation ceremony is approaching soon. If any indecent rumors spread, all the efforts will be wasted.
From Huarong's observation of Ji Anni, she knew that she was not shy about matters between men and women. She did not act like a lady from a noble family who would stay indoors at all. She always liked to wander around outside and make friends.
