These two days, for me, have been peaceful and busy.

Every day before the end of the day, I would get up and go to the court meeting, and after that, I would stay in the criminal department until the end of the night, and I would not return to my house sooner or later.

When I returned, the princess had fallen asleep with her medicine, and when I got up in the morning, she was still asleep;

In other words, the princess and I haven't spoken to each other for almost two days.

I guess we're arguing, aren't we?

But in addition to deliberately staggering the opportunity to meet, she cared for me as much as ever, except that she didn't talk to me.

I'd rather she quarrel with me than this cold war.

She really resents me.

I feel sad in my heart, but I still have to pretend to be okay every day, go to the court to work, and then deliberately go back later, just because I am worried that I will go home early and meet her.

I'm actually cowardly, and if I had been dead and dead-skinned, I would have pestered her until she was willing to forgive me.

But why, this time, he was timid?

I walked back to the house with a slightly heavy pace, just like yesterday, Ah Zheng was already waiting for me to come back outside the house, just looking at his appearance, slightly tired and in good spirits.

"Childe, you're back!"

Ah Zheng greeted him with a strong spirit.

I looked at it and muttered in my heart, could it be that something happened in the house?

"What's the matter, Ah Zheng, but what happened in the house?"

Ah Zheng knew that I was worried about the safety of the princess, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Fuzhong is fine, please be relieved. That's it, it's ......"

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, knowing that there must be something he couldn't handle properly, he smiled and said:

"If there's anything, just say it, don't ramble. ”

Ah Zheng has been with me for many years, so he naturally knows my temperament, and said bluntly:

"Prince, for some reason in the past two days, suddenly there are more stewards from other families who come to our princess's mansion to deliver posts, and they leave a lot of courtesies, saying that they are filial piety to the princess......"

I sneered, this wind has only been implemented, and some people can't bear it?

"And what did you do with it?"

Ah Zheng immediately shook his spirits, stood up straight and showed his upright and gentlemanly side, and said:

"Ah Zheng remembers the teachings of the prince, and he is wine-colored and wealthy, and he does not dare to be contaminated. Therefore, those stewards gave gifts, and they were all blocked, and some of them could not be stopped, and they would also send the gifts back later. ”

After saying that, Ah Zheng smiled, as if waiting for me to praise him.

How do I know that I frowned, shook my head, and said lightly:

"Ah Zheng, as the saying goes: courtesy is still exchanged, but not coming, it is not rude. It's very rude for people to give gifts, and you don't show gratitude, and you also block them out, you must know that you are my steward, representing my face, how can you be so rude to others?"

When Ah Zheng heard this, his face was stunned, could it be that he did a wrong thing to block the gift-giver?

"Then, what does Childe mean ......"

I couldn't help but sigh, tilted my head and said:

"What they give, you just accept it, how can someone give gifts and you still push the truth out? Put away all the greetings of those adults, and then help the prince list the names and official titles on the greeting posts, do you know?"

"Well, Ah Zheng understands. ”

But whatever the prince ordered, Ah Zheng would definitely follow it, and he didn't dare to have doubts, because Ah Zheng knew that the son's move must have ulterior motives.

It's just that Ah Zheng is a little worried about Sister Ziyu's thoughts, after all, if Sister Ziyu knows, I'm afraid that she will complain about the princess.

Seeing that Ah Cheng was embarrassed and seemed to have something on his mind, I asked:

"Anything else?"

Ah Zheng shook his head hurriedly, not daring to talk about the prince anymore, and hurriedly said:

"No, no, Ah Zheng is going to prepare dinner for the son. ”

After saying that, after welcoming me into the princess's mansion, he went to the kitchen to pass dinner.

I took out a book to kill the time while Ah Zheng brought dinner to the table.

But what I was waiting for was Ziyu, the girl who deliberately brought the food to me, I looked up from the book and looked at Ziyu in a daze, but saw that this girl was staring at me with an angry expression.

Seeing her angry face puffing out her cheeks, and Ah Zheng standing on the side and not daring to speak, I knew that Ah Zheng must have informed Ziyu that I had allowed him to accept the gift.

Ziyu, this girl, is very clear about right and wrong, good and evil, so it makes sense to be so angry.

It's Ah Zheng, this kid, he hasn't married Ziyu into the door yet, so he is so obedient, if he marries Ziyu in the future, I'm afraid he will also be a master who is afraid of his wife.

Hey, it's all my master, and I haven't got off to a good start!

I hurriedly put on a smiling face, pulled my lips, and said:

"Yo, Ziyu girl, have you had dinner?

"Master Ma is now the master of Yushi, Ziyu, who is a slave, how dare she cross the rules and dine at the same table with the eldest master?"

Ziyu was full of ridicule in anticipation, but she was more angry.

I think Ziyu must have known what I have been doing in the court in the past few days, and the trick is indeed inappropriate, but it is not without merit, at least as I said, the eyeliner buried in the court by the governors of the state and town will soon be able to find out clearly, as long as these people are cleared, the task ordered by the empress dowager should also be completed well.

It's just that I use this trick, so naturally I have other intentions.

Na Haimao has a dual identity, this is a spy of the enemy country, and the other is to take the opportunity to join the governor of the state and town to help them complete the conspiracy, in an attempt to take this opportunity to disrupt the national politics of the Northern Wei Dynasty and give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. It's just that he didn't expect to succeed in the end, and the reason why he kept silent was probably to keep other enemy spies hidden in the Northern Wei Dynasty!

The war between Wei Qi and Chen has been going on for a long time, and there are many homeless people, rebels, and criminal ministers who have sheltered each other, and there are even things that openly dig into each other's corners, and it is not uncommon for each other to send spies into the enemy's country.

Therefore, no matter which country can accommodate those who enter the country from the enemy country, it will not use these people too much.

It's just that this Hai Mao, the three generations of his ancestors have been officials in the court, and he is loyal and brave, so he came to him and received the heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial city - the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the court was very kind to his family.

Such Hai Mao are all spies planted by the enemy country in the Northern Wei Dynasty, if you continue to investigate like this, I am afraid that everyone will be in danger.

That's why people are suddenly in a hurry to give me gifts, and these people who give gifts are not necessarily spies, but they are very afraid of becoming the spies in my mouth.

The wind of rumors and rumors is flourishing again, how long can the pickled things that the gate valve magnates have done on weekdays be hidden?

Whether these people are guilty or not depends on my word, and aren't they all jealous? Therefore, the people who gave me this big gift and small gift came to show their sincerity to me, and they were all masters who met the wind and the rudder.

Ziyu has been by the princess's side for many years, and since she is a strong general, she has no weak soldiers, and she knows that this group of people who come to give gifts will never have any good intentions, and I who accept these gifts naturally lose my demeanor as a gentleman.

On weekdays, I see that I occasionally make muddy mistakes, and I am corrupt and take bribes, but this is a matter related to the reputation of scholars and officials, how can I make a mistake in such a big thing?

Ziyu knew that people were soft-spoken, and what she said would definitely not be worth the princess's words, so she wanted to report this matter to Her Royal Highness the princess for adjudication, but she didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the princess would enjoy the flowers and feed the fish in her spare time in the past two days, and she would be comfortable stroking the piano and reading books when she was quiet.

Her Royal Highness the princess is now handed over to Ziyu to deal with all the big and small things, and the big and small affairs in the mansion are also handed over to Ah Zheng, except for asking about the three meals a day and daily consumption of the horse master, he really doesn't care about anything.

Ziyu looked at the way the princess and the princess got along with the princess in the past two days, and noticed that the two of them were a little strange, and now that she saw the princess like this, she looked at the princess and the princess, and knew that the princess and the princess must be secretly angry?

As soon as she thought of this, Ziyu suddenly realized, could it be that the master of the horse was so out of proportion, because she was angry with Her Royal Highness the princess, and simply broke the jar and broke it, and even ignored the official reputation?

Ziyu was angry, but I was happy, and said with a smile:

"Who made our purple jade girl angry? You must know that people are often angry, and people age quickly, if they add wrinkles, they won't look good!"

When Ziyu heard this, her first reaction was to touch her face......

As I spoke, I hurriedly took the rice bowl and picked up the chopsticks and put the food in my mouth, and I was pulling a few bites, and when I was about to pick up the vegetables, I suddenly woke up and took the dishes to another place.

Hey, it looks like I can't even have a good meal!

Ziyu knew that I was the best at clever words and changing the subject, and she had doubts in her heart, so she didn't vomit or be unhappy, so she spoke bluntly and said:

"The one who makes the slave and maid angry is the master of the horse. The slave didn't know why the concubine wanted to ...... Corruption and bribery?"

Look at how the princess governs the army strictly, you can know a thing or two.

Her Royal Highness the princess is fair and honest, and will not bend the law for personal gain. If the princess really defends the law, no matter how reluctant the princess is, she will be severely punished and will not be tolerated.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that Ziyu was worried that I would make a mistake and make the princess sad and angry when the time came, but some things are like this, I know that it is wrong, but I still have to do it.

"Who said that I was corrupt and took bribes? Is the purple jade girl talking about those who handed over the gift stickers? That is just a courtesy exchange between officials and families, which is very common. Besides, isn't it clearly written on the worship post, congratulating this horse on his promotion to the position of imperial history, but it's just a congratulatory gift, how can it be regarded as a bribe?"

I shrugged my shoulders and went on to pick up my white rice.

"You ......"

Ziyu was so angry that her face turned red, she was angry with my clever tongue, and even more angry that she couldn't refute it.

Looking at her appearance, I couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly explained:

"Ziyu girl, don't be angry, I have my own intentions for doing this, when did you see me so obsessed with things like money? When the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are observed, there are no disciples, you should understand this truth. ”

Ziyu lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then said:

"Ziyu understands the truth, but Ziyu also remembers that Her Royal Highness the princess once taught Ziyu a sentence, the gentleman is not reluctant, and the words of the master of the horse are to disappoint Her Royal Highness the princess?"

The gentleman is meticulous in his actions, this sentence comes from "Xunzi", which means that the gentleman must stand, study, and act properly, appropriately and reasonably, and cannot be perfunctory and perfunctory.

Hearing this, I was a little speechless.

"Did the princess tell you to hear this?"

I silently put down my rice bowl, and then, quietly waiting for Ziyu's reply.

If that's what she expects from me, then I'm going to make myself more in line with her expectations no matter what......

Met my silent gaze, Ziyu struggled for a moment in her heart, but still shook her head and said:

Her Royal Highness did not let Ziyu convey this. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but smile slightly.

Ziyu, this kid, is really honest.

She knew that if she said yes, then I would definitely stop what I was doing, and return to my heart, and make myself more in line with what the princess expected;

In the end, she chose to tell the truth, but for some reason, I was slightly disappointed.

Is this mean, princess, that she doesn't expect anything from me anymore?

Seeing the loss in my eyes, Ziyu suddenly had a feeling that she had done something wrong, as if because of her unintentional act this time, the distance between the princess and the colt was widened a little.

Ziyu was also a little panicked, a more important reason why she chose to tell the truth was that she might have discovered the reason why Her Royal Highness the Princess had been unusual these days.

Her Royal Highness may not know whether the expectations of the princess are right or wrong?

The princess was confused, so she deliberately didn't talk to the master of the horse these days, no matter what, just to sort out the answers to these questions?

How could she answer that question on behalf of Her Highness the Princess before she came to her own conclusions?

Therefore, Ziyu chose to tell the truth, but she never thought that it seemed that she had misunderstood something.

Ziyu was about to explain, but was interrupted by my sudden words.

"I'm full, I'm sleepy, it's time to go to sleep. ”

With that, I stood up and turned to leave. Just a few steps away, he said to Ah Zhengyan:

"Ah Zheng, you go and help me tidy up, tonight, I'll sleep in the study......"

Ah Zheng glanced at me in disbelief, and then looked at Ziyu, whose face was a little pale on the side, afraid that I would urge, so he hurriedly said yes, and immediately went to the study first to help me make the bed.

Ziyu was anxious, and hurriedly said:

"Master Horse, Her Royal Highness the Princess is not ......"

"Ziyu, Ming'er is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and then you will have to work hard to take care of the princess and send her to the palace, and when I finish my business, I will do my best to meet the princess in the past." ”

After saying that, I dragged my somewhat tired body and went in the direction of the study.

The purple jade who stayed behind bit her lip in a little panic, tomorrow the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu feast, according to etiquette, the princess and the concubine need to go together, kowtow to the Empress Dowager, what is going on?

Ziyu sighed a little sadly, stomped her feet and went to the princess's garden, thinking that when the princess Ming'er woke up, she kowtowed to Her Royal Highness the princess and asked for guilt!

The moonlight is gentle tonight, but it is indeed a lot of people's, sleepless nights!
