The top of the heavy eaves hall has white marble steps.

Under the dense fighting, Liu Zheng, Fu Shu, and Qian Lu were waiting nervously outside the hall. Just waiting for the king's call, from now on, the officials of the Julu rank will be rich and noble.

But unfortunately, until the end of the court, the permanent staff officers retreated to the corridor for dinner, and then in the afternoon, the hundred officials returned, and the officials retreated from the court in order, and no one remembered them in the noisy carriages and horses.

Being snubbed like this, Fu Shu and Qian Lu naturally set their eyes on Liu Zheng, and they all remembered the incident of the South City Gate that was in a uproar a month ago.

In the previous year, the son Mu Sheng tried his best to disagree with the public, and the upper sparse formulated the inspection system, allowing them, who were not valued by the family, to join the court. The three of them were selected, they should have been grasshoppers on a rope, and they should advance and retreat together, and work together to fight a bloody path among those noble sons.

But I don't want to, this Liu Zheng didn't know where to get a way, and he provoked the blue eyes of Princess Tianjiao, and was frequently praised by him. Even, it is clear that the filial piety selected is the three of them, but people only know Liu Zheng at the time. There's nothing to say about this, after all, they all go all the way after all, and Liu Zheng is climbing ahead for the time being, which is not a bad thing for them.

But on the contrary, Liu Zheng somehow offended Princess Tianjiao! Princess Tianjiao was not good enough to conspire, but Liu Zheng, by the way, and the filial piety of Zhongzhong, all of them were reduced to the dust. In addition, Wang San of Langya was also there that day, the so-called goods had to be thrown away, and people had to die more than people. The contrast between the two is really very different.

Liu Zheng was unlucky, but he took pity on them! They were filial piety and honesty with Liu Zheng, and they were colleagues in the eyes of the world. But when Liu Zheng got the benefits, they didn't get it. When Liu Zheng was scolded by the world, they also inexplicably provoked a commotion because of his comrades.

In the past few days, Fu Shu and Qian Lu have not been ridiculed by others. Now, the fame is in hand, but the future is unknown, and even the king will not summon them into the temple. And this qiē seems to be all because of Liu Zheng.

For a while, both of them were angry, and they took a step back from Liu Zheng's side, whether in psychology or action, they really drew a clear line with Liu Zheng.

Fu Shu even coldly reprimanded: "Today's talent is slight, and it is an opportunity for us to pass on our name to future generations." Jun is a tool, should be content, do your best. However, Jun is not self-sufficient and tired of himself. It's ridiculous!

He is saying, it is a great opportunity for you and me to take this opportunity to enter the court as officials, we are a knife in the hands of the court, since it is a knife, we should abide by the duty of making a knife. It's just that you don't want to provoke what you shouldn't provoke, and you want to treat yourself as a person. Now, your mistakes not only affect yourself but also us, which is really ridiculous and hateful!

These words were already very serious, but Liu Zheng looked at Fu Shu in surprise, and then smiled: "It's on me, what's the matter?"

In an instant, Fu Shu's eyes widened with anger, he sneered, flicked his wide sleeves, and turned his back.

At that time, Zhou Rushui was slowly walking along the corridor, and the sister-in-law stopped beside the palace road that Gongzi Mu Sheng must pass through and stood under the corridor.

She was also waiting for the results of filial piety and honesty, thinking about Liu Zheng's steps in her previous life, Zhou Rushui looked at the hall standing on the high platform in the distance, and was very worried. In the past month, she has been sick again intermittently, and her brother is too busy to come to see her, so that she has no time to talk to her brother in the future. Now, she can finally come out to breathe, but she can only stay outside and do it in a hurry.

It was early spring, and the cool breeze was gusting. Zhou Rushui only stood under the corridor for a while, and Shu Ying rushed over, she quickly tied a cloak for Zhou Rushui, and said worriedly: "Female monarch, don't be infected with the cold." ”

Zhou Rushui smiled at her and asked in a low voice, "Did Acui get in?" Her voice was very soft, sweet and childish, very pleasant.

"Yes. Su Ying nodded with a smile, and said with honor: "Atri Nani Zi is the most clever, this kind of thing, she is the most suitable to go." "Liang Cui and Shu Ying are both Zhou Rushui's personal female officials, and the palace door was only opened at that time, so Ying Cui followed the instructions and went to the front court to inquire about the news.

Hearing this, Zhou Rushui also smiled, she smiled and looked ahead, and saw a sheep cart driving on the palace road. The sheep cart drove slowly past her, passed a little, and then retreated, stopping beside her.

Immediately afterwards, the saro on the car window was lifted, revealing a face of a closed moon and a shy flower, and the woman in the car was none other than Zhou Wang Aiji, Xie Shi Glaze Lotus.

Xie Jifang showed his face, on the right side of the sheep cart, and saw Yierlang turn over and dismount, he slowly walked towards Zhou Rushui, Zhou Rushui looked at it, and saw that the person who came was her brother-in-law, the fifth son of King Zhou, and the son-in-law Heng.

Heng is the same age as his son Mu Sheng, and his appearance and intelligence are mediocre, but he has been learning from the camp and is very restless.

Seeing Gongzi Heng walking with Xie Ji, Zhou Rushui couldn't help muttering in her heart, she raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, saluted Xie Ji in the carriage first, and said lightly, "Meet my mother." After speaking, he turned to Gongzi Heng again, stared at him for a while, and then saluted: "Brother Shu is well." ”

Seeing Zhou Rushui saluting, Xie Ji waved her hand casually, she leaned on the couch, smiling and smiling with her scarlet fingernails, and slowly looked at Zhou Rushui from top to bottom, before she smiled coquettishly and said sarcastically: "Love is the most difficult for a long time, so many lovers must be unsympathetic." I haven't seen her for a few months, but the princess has grown a lot. ”

The scorching sun shone like fire overhead, and the cold wind with a slight chill swept over her ears, such as Xie Ji's words, it was a provocation and a sarcasm, she was sarcastic, Zhou Rushui changed her mind and abandoned Liu Zheng in the blink of an eye, she was a sister-in-law who did not love for a long time and was ruthless.

This is an intention to tease her!

If it was in the past, Zhou Rushui would definitely be annoyed. But now, she just squinted quietly, her clear eyes were slightly curved, and she glanced at Gongzi Heng with a smile, and then looked at Xie Ji again, her tone was respectful, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, but she said unceremoniously: "What my mother said, Tianjiao doesn't understand much." However, when Tianjiao read the "Historical Records" before yesterday, he understood a lot of truths from the words of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. Among them, there is a saying called "raising tigers to leave their own troubles", the Tao is how some animals are not well raised, not only not to raise immature, but also to give birth to disasters, and in turn to swallow the master alive. ”

After speaking, Zhou Rushui paused, turned her eyes, stared at Gongzi Heng with a complicated expression, stared at him, and she continued: "Of course, there are other truths in it, such as "Lack of greed, snake swallows elephant". The road is a family in Qufu, with abundant property and magnificent rooms. He had a son, who was also deeply protected by the shadow. However, he was not only greedy, but tried in vain to seize his eldest brother's wealth, so that in the end, he ended up in life and death. It can be seen that if you always want what you can't get, in the end, you will only lose everything in your hands. Do you know a thing or two about this?"

The tip of the needle is against Mai Mang, Zhou Rushui is not a soft persimmon, she smiled skillfully, but she stabbed Xie Ji's sore spot in four or two thousand pounds, and warned Gongzi Heng, don't be greedy enough, even pay for yourself.

After listening to her words and seeing her smiling face again, Xie Ji immediately looked cold, her scarlet fingernails were all pinched together, and she looked at Zhou Rushui coldly without smiling, and snorted angrily.

Gongzi Heng's expression with a faint smile was also frozen, his face also sank, and after a while, he hurriedly lowered his head and restrained the hideousness on his face.

When Zhou Tianjiao was young, he also played with Gongzi Heng and made a bunch of them; once upon a time, she even stuck to Xie Glaze Lian, feeling that she was the most gentle and chaste sister-in-law in the imperial city. However, time flies, and it is long gone.

Zhou Rushui's mother, Empress Lou, is the wife of King Zhou and the eldest daughter of the Lou family in Jiangnan. Back then, Empress Lou and King Zhou were newly married, and they also had a long relationship, and they also had a few years of special favors. However, the good times did not last long, since Lou Hou gave birth to his son Mu Sheng, and after being infertile, King Zhou opened up his heirs and summoned beauties to the palace on the grounds that the people were thin and the heirs were not inherited. Since then, there will be new beautiful concubines in the harem every year, and in the past few years, there have been several prostitutes.

Her cousin Heng, her biological mother is the palace maid Peng of the Library Pavilion. Peng's body was weak and weak, and he died after giving birth to Heng. Although Empress Lou doesn't like these concubines, she is generous to them, and she has never been close to them on weekdays, but she has never been mean to each other. In the palace school, her cousins were all taught with her and her two brothers-in-law, and there was never a shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

However, who in this world will be content? Heng is a man of great ambition since he was a child, greedy and jealous, since the fall of the crown prince Luo He, he has been drawing from the camp, trying to fight against the prince Mu Sheng in the same court.

And Xie Glaze Lian is the eldest daughter of the second room of the Xie family of Chen County. In the early years, she had a marriage contract with Luo He, the prince of Zhou, and everyone in Zhou knew that the second daughter of the Xie family was a quasi-prince. But I didn't want to, when the crown prince Luo He was still alive, when King Zhou sealed the soil as an altar in Lingshan to worship the sky, Xie Glaze Lian actually got along with King Zhou. However, in an instant, the daughter-in-law who had been set a long time ago became a concubine in the back court, and she and her brothers had to change their words and call Xie Glaze Lian a concubine.

Until now, the crown prince Luo He died in battle, and Empress Lou was heartbroken and avoided walking out of the palace and entering Lan Ruo'an to lead the practice. Among the courts without the main master, the most powerful is Xie Ji, because of her extraordinary skills and unfading favor, King Zhou handed over the palace to her to take care of.

In Zhou Rushui's heart, Xie Glaze Lian was the most gentle and considerate sister-in-law in her heart. Therefore, when Xie Glaze Lian was accepted as Ji, she didn't believe it, and thought that she was forced by her father.

However, when Zhou Rushui went to find Xie Glaze Lotus with the last trace of expectation, he couldn't ask anything, Xie Glaze Lotus just sneered and said to her: "Grace is like the sea is deep, love is like a tide, I have a feeling, and I have retreated in the blink of an eye." Silly Gillian, don't believe anything, what you believe, what will you be deceived!"

After a cold snort, Xie Ji stroked her sleeves, and she stared at Zhou Rushui with a cold expression, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, so obedient that it made people tremble. Seeing the situation, Gongzi Heng retreated behind the car again, as if nothing had happened.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Xie Ji hooking her lips coldly, she leaned on a few with a smile, and said lazily to Zhou Rushui: "The princess has just recovered from a serious illness, and her mouth has become a lot more profitable. First he confronted Coats, and then he despised his elders. is so fast and eventful, and in a few days, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the world. As she spoke, she mocked viciously: "Sure enough, if there is a mother, there will be a son, no wonder, the king does not like the queen." ”

Xie Ji's sharp teeth and sharp mouth are not far behind, and her short words reprimanded Zhou Rushui, and also belittled Empress Lou who was far away in Lan Ruoan. Hearing this, Zhou Rushui's eyes were also cold, and he was about to speak, but he heard a gentle male voice like a spring breeze faintly coming, and he said: "Criticize? Let them criticize it." Why is my sister afraid?"
