Chu Tan finally finished reading all the movements. Just as he was about to go to see Guan Chongshui, someone reported that Tao Zheng wanted to see him.

is the person recommended by Xiao Yi to be the right prime minister?

Chu Tan put down the pen in his hand, "Pass her in." ”

Tao Zheng is wearing an official uniform, although she is a woman, she is very chic. She asked, "Is Your Majesty really not going to be drafted?" ”

Chu Yan frowned, "I have to say this thing a few times, don't choose!" ”

"Then ......" Tao Zheng bit his lip and smiled faintly when he looked up, "What about the aftermath?" ”

Chu Tan looked at the Tao Zheng and did not speak.

Tao Zheng said slowly, "What if the founding master is the queen? ”

Bai Du reached out and took the hand of the Wang family's daughter, seeing that the more she looked at this girl, the more she liked it.

This girl's name is Wang Liu, her appearance is dignified and elegant, her family has been an official for generations, and her father is Dali Siqing.

Bai Twilight thought to herself, Your Majesty doesn't know how good the girl is, if she really becomes a relative, I'm afraid she can understand this.

Wang Liu naturally knew what Bai Dui was thinking, she lowered her head, looked well-behaved, and let Bai Du look at it.

The saint has great respect for this Bai Dui, and he has to call him "aunt", which shows that the relationship between Bai Du and His Majesty is very close.

Bai Du chatted with Wang Liu for a while, and then began to worry about China Southern Airlines, and asked Wang Liu, "Do you have any dealings with that pottery kite girl?" ”

"Although not, I heard that this girl is very knowledgeable and is quite appreciated by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng."

Twilight nodded, it seems that this pottery kite is not so easy to chase.

"It's getting late, why don't you have a meal at my place and then leave?" Twilight asked.

"No," Tao Zheng shook his head, "my father is still waiting for me, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Done."

Aunt Bai sent Wang Liu away in person, thinking that this girl was knowledgeable and worthy of Chu Yan.

Wang Liu sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain with one hand, and when he saw the lakeside dwelling, he instructed the maidservant beside him, "Go buy some wine, my father likes to drink." ”

Xiao Yi was eating by the lake, and after asking Xiao Er, he found out that Xiao Xiaotian hadn't come for a long time, and Xiao Yi was really relieved after hearing it.

However, what he didn't know was that on the second floor of the inn opposite the lake, a man was looking down downstairs and looking at Xiao Yi in the middle of the lake.

Behind the man, there was a man standing.

"My lord," the man said, "Let me ask you, what are your feelings for Xiao Yi now?" ”

Xiao Xiaotian's long hair was raised by the wind, and he stood with his hands in his hands and did not answer.

Changchuan has never understood why a freewheeling man like Xiao Xiaotian didn't understand anything after meeting Xiao Yi. So he was going to help.

"When I went to look for Deng Gu, he refused to talk to me for a while. But once I was hurt by his brother, and I didn't expect him to care about me. ”

Xiao Xiaotian finally moved his lips, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Excellency, you know what your subordinates mean."

After Xiao Yi went home, he was in a good mood, just because Xiao Xiaotian didn't come recently.

This probably means that he will never come again.

Xiao Yi admired the landscape painting hanging in his bedroom with satisfaction, he had never known that this painting was so beautiful, and then looked at his golden incense burner. The incense burner emitted curling smoke, and he never knew that the incense he had been lit in his room smelled so good.

Until he took off his coat and was ready to go to bed—

He found a man in bed.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yi asked.

Xiao Xiaotian's face was expressionless, "I was chased and killed by the people of the Lushan faction, and I had nowhere to hide, so I could only hide here with you first." ”

"Am I here?" Xiao Yi also said expressionlessly, "I'll send you to the inn." ”

The two of them looked at each other expressionlessly for a long time.

"Yes, you're here," Xiao Xiaotian nodded, "They wouldn't have thought I'd be here with you." ”

“…… I didn't think of it either. ”

Xiao Yi knew that his martial arts were far inferior to Xiao Xuantian, but he really wanted to do it now.

He didn't hesitate to get the sword, Xiao Xiaotian fell from the bed to the ground, kept dodging Xiao Yi's attack, but didn't make a move. Xiao Yi soon realized that it was useless for him to do this, so he could only put away his sword and ask sharply, "What are you going to do?" ”

"You take me in until the people from the Lushan faction are gone." Xiao Xiaotian said.

"Why did you come to me?"

"I have nowhere to hide."

Xiao Yi knew that what Xiao Xiaotian was talking about now was, but he could only take a deep breath and calm his emotions, "...... I'll arrange a room for you. ”

“…… Good. ”

Xiao Yi immediately called the slave maid beside her, asked her to clean up the guest room farthest away from Xiao Yi's room, and arranged for Xiao Xiaotian to live in.

Xiao Xiaotian glanced at Xiao Yi before leaving, and followed the slave and maid.

Xiao Yi was in no good mood, and it was an eyesore to see anything, so he immediately threw the landscape painting on the wall to the ground and stepped on it a few times, and then extinguished the incense. No matter what Xiao Xiaotian wanted to do, when did he, Xiao Yi, have the ability to stop him!

Why don't you just go to the palace and hide for a few days.

On the second day, before Xiao Yi could speak, the time to go to the palace came.

The Shu Kingdom destroyed the Yu Kingdom, the whole country celebrated, and Chu Tan also held a banquet for this. Xiao Yi thought that as long as he stayed in the palace in the name of the banquet, at least he could stay for a few days.

Even if it's for a day.

That night, Chu Tan and Guan Chongshui sat on the upper seat, with Xiao Yi, Tao Zheng and others on the left, and General Wang, Yang Shuzhi, Cheng Yijiang and others on the right. This position seems to indicate that Tao Zheng may become the next right prime minister.

Tao Zheng was dressed in full costume today, and her dark blue dress made her very elegant, and many officials toasted her and celebrated her in advance.

Tao Zheng glanced at Chu Tan at this time, and Chu Tan bowed slightly at Tao Zheng.

Guan Chongshui, who was sitting next to Chu Tan, of course, also saw this scene.

"What's wrong?" Chu Tan asked Guan Chongshui.

Guan Chongshui began to pour himself wine.

Chu Tan remembered Guan Chongshui's drunken appearance, and didn't remind him, let him drink it himself, and then grabbed Guan Chongshui's right hand with his left hand without being noticed, and pinched it gently.

Guan Chongshui wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Chu Yan.

Chu Tan asked softly, "Are you willing to be the queen?" ”

Guan Chongshui felt as if he had died.

In an instant, all the voices of chatting and chuckling at the banquet gradually faded away, and only Chu Yan's voice kept repeating in his ears.

Would you like to be a queen?

Chu Tan continued, "If you don't want to, if you think others are telling right and wrong, you won't say this." If you want, Lone will tell everyone here now that you are Lone's queen, lest they urge Lone to draft again. ”

Guan Chongshui hesitated for a long time before shaking his head.

"Lone knows ......" Chu Tan's words couldn't be finished, because he felt Guan Chongshui holding his hand and gradually straining harder.

Chu Tan hooked the corners of his mouth, saw that Guan Chongshui drank a small pot of wine as if he was covering up, and stopped him when he was about to continue drinking, "Little drunkard, don't drink too much, it will hurt your body." ”

Although the ministers are all at the table, as a courtier, they must always pay attention to the movements of Chu Yan's side. After seeing Chu Tan and Guan Chongshui's intimate appearance, they all had doubts in their hearts.

Didn't you say that it was □□ to change Prime Minister Zuo to the title of national teacher? Why does it seem that Guan Chongshui has not fallen out of favor?

In the eyes of these people, although the official position of the national teacher is high, he has no real power.

Chu Tan saw that Guan Chongshui had drunk too much, so he left with Guan Chongshui first.

Xiao Yi waited until Chu Tan came out of the palace gate, then walked out, went to Chu Tan's side and said, "Your Majesty, how many days will the palace borrow a micro-minister to live?" ”

As soon as Chu Tan heard Xiao Yi's words, he thought of what was happening, so he said to Xiao Yi, "Stay as long as you want, it will be done in a few days." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At today's banquet, there were still some courtiers who brought their daughters to attend, and they didn't believe that Chu Tan really didn't plan to draft. However, when they saw that Chu Tan was gone, and they didn't have a chance to propose a song and dance performance all night, they were all very depressed.

Bai Dui, as the master of China Southern Airlines and the teacher of Guozijian, is also an official, so she is naturally on the invitation list for this banquet, and she also brought Wang Liu.

At this time, Bai Du looked at the frustrated courtiers at the banquet and covered the smile on his lips with his wine glass, but frowned when he saw China Southern Airlines approaching the pottery zither.

Wang Liu listened to Bai Dui's words and waited in a small forest next to the main gate of the banquet.

She was dressed in a white dance costume, which reflected the moonlight.

Seeing Chu Tan walking out with Guan Chongshui on his back, Wang Liu immediately stepped on the ground with one foot and began to dance.

She had been practicing this dance since she was a child, so she could guarantee that His Majesty would fall in love with it. Even if it is for her father's official position and for her own future, she must succeed.

After the dance, her white sleeves fluttered in the wind.

Wang Liu raised his head slowly,

Hey, what about Your Majesty?

Only the two eunuchs guarding the gate of the palace looked at him in a daze, while those palace maids looked at Wang Liu and whispered, "It's so late, the wind is still so strong, do you say she's cold." ”

"Cold." The other maid replied in the affirmative.

Wang Liu angrily threw off his sleeves and went home.

Chu Tan carried Guan Chongshui all the way back to the palace.

Chu Qiu didn't go to the banquet, he was looking at Guan Chongshui's Polaroid curiously. After seeing Chu Tan coming in with Guan Chongshui on his back, as soon as he wanted to speak, Chu Tan made a quiet gesture towards him.

Chu Qiu nodded obediently, and then pointed at the Polaroid, his face was very expectant.

Chu Tan pointed to Guan Chongshui, which meant that this was something about Guan Chongshui, and he had to ask Guan Chongshui first.

Guan Chongshui suddenly moved, opened his eyes, and seemed to be very puzzled as to how he had returned to the room.

"Awake?" Chu Tan asked, "Chu Qiu wants that thing, do you want it?" ”

Guan Chongshui looked over and nodded.

Chu Qiu happily took the Polaroid, "Thank you, Uncle Guan." ”

Chu Qiu walked outside the door, holding the Polaroid in his hand, wondering if Uncle Xiao would like it.

Chu Tan waited for Guan Chongshui to serve him willingly, and only after changing Guan Chongshui into the light tulle clothes he wore when he slept did he twist the candle.

The current night is not like midsummer, but it is a little cold, and Guan Chongshui shrank into Chu Yan's arms. I don't know if it was because of the drink, or if I had a nightmare, Guan Chongshui used his teeth to grind Chu Yan's clothes.

Chu Tan's eyesight was very good at night, and after seeing his clothes being bitten by Guan Chongshui, he finally couldn't help but hug Guan Chongshui.

Chu Qiu took the Polaroid to find Xiao Yi, and was reprimanded by Xiao Yi, who was in a bad mood, "Your Highness, you should read more books now, don't always play with these things." ”

Chu Qiu held the Polaroid's hand and clenched it, "But ......"

"Your Highness, you are not too young, you should learn to deal with some state affairs."

"But you're not happy!"

Xiao Yi was stunned.

"Uncle Xiao, you seem to be very unhappy lately, I want to make you happy to play these things for you! Magnets are also ...... Cameras too...... And I didn't forget to study and practice martial arts, I didn't miss a class, I just wanted to make Uncle Xiao happy! ”

Xiao Yi reacted at this time, he was actually angry with a child because of Xiao Xiaotian's matter!

"Chu Qiu, Uncle Xiao can't stand you, Uncle Xiao has ...... recently" Xiao Yi didn't know what to say about what had happened to him recently.

No matter how sensible Chu Qiu was, he couldn't stand being reprimanded by Xiao Yi like this again and again, so he turned around angrily and ran. Xiao Yi stood in place, not knowing whether to chase or not.

Forget it, little one, bring him something to eat tomorrow to make amends.

Chu Qiu ran behind a rockery and finally couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

It's a shame that he waited in his father's room for so long to come to this thing!

Chu Qiu angrily threw the polaroid to the ground.

China Southern Airlines happened to pass by the Imperial Garden.

The imperial palace of the Akebono Kingdom is very cleverly set up, and the imperial garden is sandwiched between the former dynasty and the harem, so the imperial garden is not exclusive to the harem, and ordinary courtiers can also stroll here when they are idle.

After passing by this rockery, China Southern Airlines saw a camera that had fallen to the ground.

"It's not ...... Is it important to be watery? ”

China Southern Airlines took the camera in his arms and was about to return Guan Chongshui, but after seeing the pottery zither that had also just descended, he waved his hand and ran over.

"Miss Tao." China Southern Airlines shouted.

"General Minami."

"Does Miss Tao also come here to enjoy the flowers?"

"No, I'm just passing by, and that's ......"

"Hey......" China Southern Airlines called out to the pottery zither who wanted to leave immediately.

"What else is going on with General Nan?" Tao Zheng turned around and asked.

"Uh, eh, I just picked up something in the Imperial Garden, come and see, what is this?"

The pottery zither seemed to be interested, and looked at the Polaroid that China Southern Airlines took out, took it in his hand very curiously, and accidentally pressed it.

A photo came out immediately.

"This ......" China Southern Airlines curiously took the photo and compared it with the Imperial Garden in front of him, "it is actually the same ......"

China Southern Airlines thinks this thing is so magical, it should be very important to Guan Chongshui, but if Tao Zheng likes it......

China Southern Airlines stubbornly said, "Or...... If you like this thing, you can play with it for a few days. I'll go find the owner first, and when I find it, it's not too late to return it to him......"

"That being the case...... Tao Zheng holding the Polaroid, "then thank you General Nan!" ”

China Southern Airlines watched Tao Zheng walk away with a Polaroid with a toothache, and thought to himself, let's let Tao Zheng play for a few days before returning it to Guan Chongshui.

All officials have their own offices, as well as their own residences. Xiao Yi is grinding in the official mansion today.

This place was originally used for Guan Chongshui, although the things that Guan Chongshui had been moved away by Chu Tan, but Chu Tan's partiality towards Guan Chongshui could still be seen.

The furniture here is more than one grade higher than Xiao Yi's previous official mansion.

The method of making glass is a new technology discovered by the craftsmen of the Dawn Kingdom just a few years ago, and ordinary people's families have not even seen what glass looks like. But in this official mansion alone, there are three large glass cabinets, and the patterns on them are also carved very carefully, which is absolutely priceless in the market.

Xiao Yi even thought with some humor that if one day he was forced by Xiao Xiaotian to have nowhere to hide, he could take these cabinets and sell them as a plate......

Xiao Yi was busy with all his official duties, and he lay on the table weakly, not wanting to go home. Although sometimes the officials are too busy, some just stay in the government mansion for one night, so these people have a bed in the official mansion. But Xiao Yi is not such a person, and Guan Chongshui is not such a person, so of course there is no bed in the official mansion of Prime Minister Zuo.

Xiao Yi lay on the table for a while, preparing to go to the palace after a while, but who knew that he fell asleep like this.

When Xiao Xiaotian found out that Xiao Yi was not in the room, he found his official mansion.

Xiao Yi was sleeping, and the candlelight was dim, as if it would be extinguished in the next second.

Xiao Xiaotian looked at Xiao Yi's sleeping face, and suddenly felt that he had missed a lot over the years. He took off his coat, draped it on Xiao Yi, and then picked up Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yitian's light skills were good, so Xiao Yi slept very peacefully along the way and didn't wake up at all. He put Xiao Yi in Xiao Yi's room, and then touched Xiao Yi's lips.

A familiar touch.

Xiao Xiaotian sighed, gently untied Xiao Yi's head rope, and pushed his hair aside, and finally mastered the technique, gently massaging Xiao Yi's scalp.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, Xiao Yi was also a canary in the days when he was locked up by Xiao Xuantian. Although Xiao Yi was not free during those days, he had always lived a very easy life, how could he be as tired as he is now.

Xiao Xiaotian's fingertips gently brushed Xiao Yi's dark circles, and finally covered him with a quilt.

Xiao Yi suddenly moved his fingers at this time, and then opened his eyes.

This is...... own home.

Xiao Yi looked at the clothes next to his pillow and was stunned.

Unexpectedly...... It's him?

Xiao Yi exhaled, turned around and covered the quilt again. He had expected to have no sleep or nightmares tonight, but in reality, it was the best night he had slept in years.

Xiao Xiaotian lay on the roof of Xiao Yi's room with his hands on his pillow, looking up at the starry sky.

As soon as Xiao Yi woke up the next day, it was almost noon time, and the maid ring beside him said, "Look at the prime minister, you are sleeping so soundly, I really can't bear to disturb ......."

Wouldn't it be nice to just say that you can't scream?

Xiao Yi quickly washed up and was about to go out, but saw Xiao Xiaotian at the door.

However, Xiao Xiaotian's room should have been arranged by him in ...... A room that is diagonally related to his room.

"Why are you living here......" Xiao Yi looked at the guest room closest to him.

"The room is too bright at night."

"You can draw the curtains."

"I don't like it."

“……”

Xiao Yi was in a hurry to go to court, and didn't say much to Xiao Futian, but finally glanced at Xiao Futian helplessly.

After the next dynasty, Xiao Yi asked the palace to send someone to his mansion to get some clothes and prepare to live in the palace for a long time.

Guan Chongshui looked at him expressionlessly.

Xiao Yi smiled, "Lest those people say that only our national teacher can live in the palace, isn't this sealing the mouths of those people." ”

Guan Chongshui lowered his head and looked at the words in front of him.

Guan Chongshui this ......

Xiao Yi was not embarrassed, turned his head and glanced at Chu Yan.

After Guan Chongshui returned to the court, he did not go to Guozijian to attend classes again, nor did he go to the court again, and he was only in the palace every day. Either with Chu Tan or waiting for Chu Tan, in short, he rarely communicates with the outside world and is unusually silent.

Only when he was with Chu Tan, Guan Chongshui would occasionally take the initiative to speak.

Xiao Yi raised his chin at Chu Tan and gestured to the outside of the door.

Chu Tan pondered for a moment, and said to Guan Chongshui, "Go out alone, you are here, don't run around." ”

Didn't get an answer.

Chu Tan squatted next to Guan Chongshui, who was sitting on the chair, and said again.

Guan Chongshui nodded.

Chu Tan and Xiao Yi walked outside the door, Chu Tan knew that Guan Chongshui could know what was happening outside, but Guan Chongshui's curiosity should not be so heavy now, so he asked Xiao Yi, "What's the matter?" ”

"Why did he do this all of a sudden?"

"It's not sudden", Chu Jian shook his head, "He used to be like this, and he just didn't know why he suddenly got better." ”

"Do you know why?"

"He won't say anything."

Xiao Yi felt that this matter was very difficult to do, "This is ...... Sickness? ”

"No, it's just a little silent, how is it sick."

"You can't go on like this forever, it's better to ask Aunt Bai, she is a doctor and has seen a lot."

"I'm sorry for you to talk about this", Chu Tan said, "Aunt Bai has been thinking about letting Gu marry a wife recently. Gu Ruo took the initiative to see her, but I don't know what the situation is. ”

Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile, "Aunt Bai is also kind." Your Majesty, if you don't take a wife...... Have you ...... with Guan Chongshui? ”

"Heavy water is also happy with loneliness." Chu Tan glanced at the room.

Xiao Yi responded, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this matter will be handed over to Weichen." ”

Although it was said that it was all handed over to Xiao Yi, Chu Tan still went out of the palace with the two of them, just waiting by the lake first.

When Guan Chongshui and Xiao Yi were alone, they were very cold, which made Xiao Yi a little unbearable.

After taking Guan Chongshui to Bai Dui, Xiao Yi explained his intentions.

Bai Du had never seen Guan Chongshui's cold attitude, but he also didn't know what was going on.

Aunt Bai said, "I think it's better to let Chongshui marry a wife and take good care of him!" I just don't know why you all refuse to get married! ”

Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed, thinking that Guan Chongshui and Chu Tan had just confirmed their relationship, how could they marry other women.

And he himself...... I didn't think about liking women at all. Or rather, he probably won't like anyone at all in his life.

"Aunt Bai, I won't marry a wife, so don't think about Your Majesty and the national teacher......"

Twilight wondered, "Why?" I see that China Southern Airlines understands the matter of love, you are smarter than him, how can you ...... Hey......"

"Everyone has his own ambitions." Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"This can't be done, I recently saw a woman named Wang Liu, I look very good, very suitable for Your Majesty."

Guan Chongshui's fingers moved, and he got up and left.

"Hey", Xiao Yi thought that this was bad, and immediately chased after him, and then remembered something and shouted to Aunt Bai, "Aunt Bai, you don't have to worry about this matter, beware of Your Majesty's anger!" ”

Guan Chongshui wanted to leave by himself, but was stopped by Xiao Yi, "What are you going, get in the carriage." ”

The two of them soon arrived at the lakeside residence, Chu Tan was already waiting a little anxiously, and immediately stood up after seeing Guan Chongshui come back, and then asked Xiao Yi, "How is it?" ”

Guan Chongshui asked at this time, "Am I sick?" ”

Chu Tan was stunned.

"It's a sick ......" Guan Chongshui asked and replied to himself, and there was some loneliness in his tone that could not be described in words, "It's a sickness......" 166 Reading Network
