Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Shortly after Princess Shushou's birthday, Murong Fu, who went to the palace to give a lecture to the little emperor, received news and ordered him to go to Longyou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Xiang after class.

In order to participate in a hundred flowers party, Murong Fu took a long vacation for two months. When he saw Murong Fu again two months later, the little emperor was originally very happy, but when he heard that he had to go to see the Empress Dowager Xiang after class, his expression was a little cold. Seeing that he was silent for a while with a calm face, Fang said indifferently: "...... Oh, I remember, it was my sister's birthday a few days ago. Thinking about the queen mother, she misses her sister again, and pulls Murong Qing to gossip. ”

As soon as Murong Fu heard the little emperor's condensed voice, his heart was already secretly shocked, and he vaguely understood that the mother-son friendship between the little emperor and the queen mother was not as good as in the past. Murong Fu expected it well, Empress Dowager Xiang was not the biological mother of the little emperor, and the relationship between mother and son was not deep. Originally, when Princess Shushou was there, she was still able to maintain her affection on both sides; When Princess Shushou passed away, the Queen Mother Xiang no longer had biological flesh and blood, and her temperament became more and more cold and lonely, and the mother-son relationship with the little emperor gradually faded. At the same time, the Empress Dowager was kind to the Empress Dowager, but she was very cold to the little emperor's biological mother, Concubine Zhu De. As the days go by, the little emperor will inevitably have resentment in his heart.

Fortunately, the little emperor didn't want to leave the topic on the Empress Dowager Xiang, so he quickly changed his words and said: "Now the wind direction of this court, I can't understand it more and more. I thought that Lu Xiang's instructions to intercept his grandmother back then were already courageous, but I didn't expect that Liu Xiang was even more arrogant, and even dared to intercept the edict privately. Speaking of this, the little emperor couldn't help frowning and sighing. This Great Song Dynasty, is it still not surnamed Zhao? ”

Although Murong Fu knew that Liu Zhi was arrogant, he was dumbfounded when he heard that he dared to intercept the edict privately, and said for a long time: "Official, this is the disaster of the court's lax law!" ”

The little emperor always talked about state affairs with Murong Fu, and Murong Fu's remarks always refreshed him. At this time, seeing that Murong Fu did not ask for the impeachment of Liu Zhi as he wished, but instead pointed the finger at the imperial court, the little emperor was not very disappointed, only raised his eyebrows, and said strangely: "What does this mean?" ”

"Official, the rule of our Great Song Dynasty has always been that Zhizhihao writes an edict according to the will of the official, and then the Zhongshu Province is responsible for issuing it. However, how long did it take for Zhizhihao to write the edict? How long does it take for the edict to be issued? There are no explicit rules for these, and there are too many places to operate. Murong Fu said slowly, "Weichen's mentor Su Bachelor also served as Zhizhi Hao, he was originally a frightening storm, but if the Empress Dowager or the official family has a will, he can write an edict in one night at most." But if it is replaced by a slow man, the writing of the edict will take three or five days, and the Chinese book province will drag on for another seven or eight days. If it is a personnel appointment, if it catches up with a natural disaster*, won't everyone in the world blame the officials for not showing mercy to the people? ”

The little emperor couldn't help nodding silently when he heard this, and even said secretly in his heart: It's just a matter of dying a few Qiantou, if the position in this court is occupied by someone who doesn't like it, even if I am the emperor, I will inevitably be restrained. He was silent for a while, and then said softly: "According to the opinion of the Qing family, what should I do?" ”

"Liu Xiang's private interception of the edict is still a problem of the imperial court system, and the official family should tell the Empress Dowager about this matter, please legislate!" Murong Fu was categorical.

When the little emperor heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "Now that Liu Zhi is in power in the court, I see that he is unwilling!" ”

"Liu Zhi took advantage of the loopholes in the system to violate the holy order for his own personal gain, which shows what his character is. Wechen believes that the Empress Dowager must make a decision. Murong Fu said again.

"I'm only afraid that the Empress Dowager will miss the old feelings and make a decision." The little emperor spoke sarcastically.

"That's not enough." Murong Fu replied meaningfully, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the official family should not be in a hurry or slow down." ”

The little emperor's face changed suddenly, and finally Fang said slowly: "Aiqing is really insightful. With Aiqing here, I can feel at ease. ”

Murong Fu hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and mentioned to the little emperor what he had seen and heard about going to Luoyang this time, and then he ended the day's work and left the Chongzheng Palace.

In the Longyou Palace, the Empress Dowager Xiang had been waiting for a long time. After Murong Fu stepped forward to salute, she ordered the attendant to give a reward. "Shushou's birthday, Murong Qing has a heart."

mentioned this matter, but Murong Fu didn't dare to accept the reward of the Queen Mother, so he only bowed his head and said: "Now this is the only thing that Weichen can do for the princess." ”

Princess Shushou has passed away for two years, and the bits and pieces that Murong Fu has done for Princess Shushou in the past two years have already convinced Empress Dowager Xiang of his affection for Shushou, and unconsciously smoothed out her resentment towards Murong Fu. Now, Empress Dowager Xiang has gradually come out of the pain of losing her daughter, she is desolate under her knees, but because of Princess Shushou, she treats Murong Fu as half a nephew. "Shushou has gone, presumably she has a spirit in the sky and hopes that Murong Qing will be well."

Murong Fu's heart was hot, and he only said in a low voice: "Weichen should take care of herself for the princess, and the queen mother should also take care of herself!" ”

Xiang Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and said melancholy: "It's just to kill time, what else can I do?" "Empress Dowager Xiang's husband has passed away, her daughter has died again, there are Empress Dowagers, harems and Concubine Zhu in the court, and she, the Empress Dowager, is just an ornament.

Seeing Empress Dowager Xiang's boring appearance, Murong Fu was even more sad and guilty. He turned his heart sideways, and suddenly said: "The minister has a matter, dare to ask the queen mother to be the master!" ”

Murong Fu was so solemn that the Empress Dowager Xiang was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The minister and the current leader of the six gates, Zhuge Zheng, I have a personal relationship, Lord Zhuge is outside, and before leaving, I entrusted Weichen with one thing - ask Weichen to help take care of King Jing's youngest son Zhao Xiaoyuan." Murong Fu immediately told the Empress Dowager Xiang everything he had seen and heard in the Jingwang Mansion, but he hid his night invasion of the palace to avoid suspicion, and only said that he had inquired about it with a lot of money.

Xiang Xiang treated Murong Fu kindly, and he was also convinced of his words, and when he heard that Princess Jing was mean, she couldn't help but be surprised: "There is such a thing!" There is such a thing! ”

Murong Fu could only smile bitterly at this. A benevolent person cannot believe that there is such a vicious person in the world, because it is beyond the limits of his imagination. "Weichen is courageous, please ask the Queen Mother to order Princess Jing to bring her children to Longyou Palace to play, and you can also protect the bloodline of King Jing."

"The mourning family knows," the Empress Dowager Xiang also knew that Murong Fu did not ask to sue Zongzheng, but only asked her to pay more attention to Zhao Xiaoyuan, because she was sympathetic to the difficulties of the widowed Queen Mother, who had no children and no daughters. I saw her sigh, and said slowly: "Since Zhuge Qing rebuilt the six doors, the hundred officials in the court pretended not to know him, and only Murong Qing could confess that he still had a friendship with Zhuge Qing in this way. In fact, Zhuge Qing's identity is special, how can there be fewer profit-seeking people under this sect? ”

Murong Fu was silent for a while and whispered: "Queen Mother, it's always good for the court officials to know that they are afraid and know that they should cover up." What really matters is Lord Zhuge . ”

The Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this, and after pondering for a long time, she stroked her palm and praised: "Murong Qing is really transparent!" "The heart is translucent and the same as the light, Murong Fu is so calm and really doesn't look like a fledgling officialdom newcomer. It was only at this time that the Empress Dowager Xiang faintly understood why the Empress Dowager and the little emperor attached great importance to his opinions. "Your words, the mourning family took it to heart." The second response was to allow this matter, but the words of the Queen Mother were much more solemn.

As he wished, he threw Zhao Xiaoyuan's hot potato to the Empress Dowager Xiang, and Murong was refreshed when he reinstated. As soon as he stepped into the house, Ah Zi's sharp roar came: "Stinky boy, you are looking for death!" Immediately after, Little Cold-Blooded flew towards him.

Ah Zi's martial arts have been abolished, how much strength can a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl have? Yes, Xiao Lengxue was thrown a few steps away by her, and she had to hit her head on the ground.

Murong Fu was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped up with an arrow step, bending down to pick up Xiao Lengxue.

Ah Zi and Murong Fu have always been at odds, and when she saw Murong Fu appear, she immediately turned cold and shook her hand and left.

Murong also had a headache when he saw Ah Zi again, and he never liked her to be an eyesore in front of him. Only this time, he was full of anger, and only shouted: "Stop!" ”

Murong Fu's voice was extremely cold, and it instantly reminded Ah Zi of the scene when she failed to poison Murong Fu, but was abolished by Murong Fu in martial arts. She was so frightened that she immediately stood still and did not dare to move.

But at this time, Ah Zhu turned out of the inner courtyard again, and said in a brisk tone: "Okay, Ah Zi, take the child ...... Son? Halfway through Ah Zhu's words, he saw Murong Fu looking at Ah Zi with a solemn look, and hurriedly bent his knees and blessed him. How did Childe come back? ”

Seeing Ah Zhu, Murong Fu's expression softened slightly, and he handed over the little cold-blooded man who was smiling to himself and said, "Ah Zhu, go and pack your sister's luggage, and send her back to Yanziwu tomorrow!" ”

Ah Zhu was immediately taken aback when he heard this, hurriedly turned his head to look at Ah Zi, and asked silently: What trouble did you cause again?

Ah Zi had tears in his eyes, and pointed to his cheek with a pitiful look and shouted, "It's obvious that he bit me!" Looking closely, Ah Zi really had a few tooth marks on his cheeks. Fortunately, the bite is not deep, and it is because I have never seen blood.

"He's still a kid, aren't you?" Murong Fu said coldly, "Do you know that you almost fell to death him?" ”

Ah Zi's eyes shrank, as if he was afraid, but a pair of round eyes turned slightly and then argued forcefully: "Isn't he not dead?" ”

Murong Fu shook his head indifferently and said slowly: "You have no empathy like this, it's really hateful. When you return to Swallow Dock, let Sister-in-law Deng teach you to copy the scriptures for good. ”

Hearing this, Ah Zhu hurriedly pleaded: "Son, it was Ah Zhu who was lazy and asked Ah Zi to help take care of the child...... "Who knows whose sister, if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Leng is very well-behaved, after coming to Murong Mansion, he has only bitten Murong Fu alone, and Ah Zhu does not dare to temporarily entrust the child to Ah Zi to take care of." It's just that who would have expected Ah Zi to become the second person to be bitten?

Murong Fu waved his hand coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Zhu, since she is your sister-in-law, you should understand what you can help and what you can't help." Whether she can do this or not, you should know better than anyone else! Let's go down. ”

When had Ah Zhu heard Murong Fu say such heavy words to her? For a while, he couldn't answer anymore, and tears fell one after another.

But when Ah Zi saw that Ah Zhu didn't speak for her, she already hated her in her heart, and sneered at the moment: "What sister? Do you have proof? I just found a maid and said it was my sister, is it really so easy to fool this girl? ”

Ah Zhu was angry on both sides, and he was even more aggrieved in his heart, and he couldn't help crying "wow".

Ah Zi has never been a person who knows how to accept when she sees a good thing, and when she saw Ah Zhu crying and Murong Fu's face turned pale, she became more and more uplifted. "I was originally a disciple of the Nakshatra Sect, how could I be sisters with this maid who poured tea and handed water? Murong Fu, do you think I don't know your intentions? Didn't you just take a fancy to my star faction's ability to poison, so you sent your men to steal the teacher? I sue you, don't ......"

"Smack!"

Ah Zizheng was complacent, and Sister-in-law Deng didn't know when she came over, and it was a slap in the face. "Don't you understand how Azhu treats you? is so vicious and mean at such a young age, Azhu has a girl like you who has really poured mold for eight lifetimes! I saw that Sister-in-law Deng casually reprimanded two sentences, and then ordered the servants around her to take Ah Zi down. Then, she bowed her knees to Murong Fu and apologized: "Son-in-law, there is no way to downgrade/teach, please punish Child-in-law." ”

Murong Fu also knew that a character like Ah Zi was a typical antisocial personality, and there was no cure at all. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Ah Zi will entrust it to Sister-in-law Deng, as long as she doesn't hurt her life." Turning his head and seeing that Ah Bi, who came with Sister-in-law Deng, was busy wiping Ah Zhu's tears, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh again, and ordered: "Ah Zhu, you come with me." ”

The two came to the study one after the other, Ah Zhu lowered his head to wipe away his tears, choked up and said: "It's Ah Zi who is ignorant, she offended her son, and Ah Zhu made amends on her behalf......"

Where could Murong Fu make Azhu kneel, and hurriedly reached out to support her and said, "Azhu, it was the son's inconsiderate consideration, but now it is embarrassing for you." When I saw Ah Zi in Xiping, Murong Fu always remembered that after all, she was Ah Zhu's sister-in-law and never took her life. But I never expected that what I brought back would be such a good thing. "I've always taken your background to heart, and now I'm a little eyebrow-raising. As long as you nod, I'll send her back to your biological father, you say, okay? ”

"My real daddy?" Ah Zhu was suddenly startled, and asked apprehensively and confusedly. "Childe...... Who is it? Who is he? ”

Murong Fu sighed and said quietly: "He was originally the prince of Dali, and his status was also very prominent. It's just ......"

"It's just that Ah Zi and I were not born to the lady he married to Ming Media, right?" Ah Zhu thought carefully, instantly understood his situation, and shook his head and cried at the moment. "No, I don't! He is a prince, even if he cares about me and Ah Zi, he has already come to look for him, why has there been no news so far? He's not my daddy, he's not! I was raised by the Murong family, and I beg my son not to drive me and Ah Zi away! ”

Azhu's tears rained down, Murong Fu became more and more regretful, hurriedly took a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, and patiently persuaded: "How could Gongzi drive you away?" …… Okay, okay, stop crying! If you cry again, you won't be pretty! If our Ah Zhu is crying ugly, we will pay more than one percent for marrying Qiao Feng's dowry in the future, how much loss do you say? ”

When Ah Zhu heard Murong Fu teasing her like this, she was ashamed and angry, and hurriedly snatched the silk handkerchief in Murong Fu's hand to cover her face and said, "Childe, you are so bad!" Azhu won't tell you! Then he bowed his head and ran.

After Ah Zhu left, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and secretly said in his heart: Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng, I help you like this, I just ask you to take Ah Zi away when you get married! Thank you very much! Just thought about it, in the original book, Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu were originally because Qiao Feng's life experience was revealed, and under Qiao Feng's betrayal and separation, only Ah Zhu would not leave him, so he could see the truth in adversity. Now that he has crossed over, he vows to quietly smooth out the matter, and he doesn't know how they should develop their relationship? And also because of his crossing, Qiao Feng had already met Azhu so many years earlier. Although Ah Zhu is still obsessed with Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng has always been ignorant of Ah Zhu's affection. Even when he hinted a few times, Qiao Feng brushed it off with a righteous face. It's so sluggish, where is a piece of wood, it's clearly a brick! The situation was so unoptimistic, Murong Fu was even more worried, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Childe, no matter what happens, you have to calm down and think slowly, don't worry, there will always be a solution." Murong Fu was in a trance, and Ah Bi walked in at some point. Lighting incense and making tea for him, Rourou comforted him, then picked up the half-embroidered silk handkerchief and sat down next to Murong Fu, and got busy quietly.

Murong Fu stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, nodded slowly, and said vaguely: "Why did you light the incense again?" ”

Ah Bi raised his head and said unhurriedly: "I see that the prince has not lit incense in the past few days, and he is always impetuous, in the end, it is a habit of more than ten years, how can it be so easy to change?" ”

"Hmm......" Murong Fu finally woke up after being reminded by Abi's words, secretly thinking that he was angry with Qiao Feng like this, Qiao Feng didn't know anything, and he was very uncomfortable, and he didn't know why he was bothered? Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved, and said with a smile: "It's still our Abi intimacy!" What kind of wishful husband does Abi want in the future, tell me about it for my son? ”

When Ah Bi heard this, his cheeks turned red instantly, and he only bowed his head and said, "Ah Bi...... Abi doesn't want to get married...... Childe, don't drive Abi away......" said as he said, tears falling from his eyes.

"Huh? Why are you crying again? When did the prince say that he was going to drive you away? Murong Fu was like a second king of the king, and he hurriedly whispered to comfort Abi.

Ah Zhu finally chose to accompany Ah Zi back to Swallow Dock together, Ah Bi has never been separated from Ah Zhu since he entered Murong's house, and he couldn't help but pull Ah Zhu to cry into a tearful person.

Murong Fu can understand Ah Zhu's choice, blood relatives, even if he just looks at Ah Zi's face similar to his own, Ah Zhu is extremely difficult to leave Ah Zi alone. Hearing Ah Zhu say to Ah Bi with tears in his eyes, "Take good care of your son", Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward and said, "Ah Zhu, if you want to go back to the capital, or if you want to go somewhere else...... No matter what Azhu wants to do or want, write to Sù Childe, and Childe will definitely achieve it for you! ”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, Ah Zhu's tears burst instantly, she hurriedly lowered her head and let the tears fall to the ground, bent her knees and blessed Fu and said in a low voice: "Ah Zhu knows, take care of your son!" With a ruthless heart, he turned his head and boarded the carriage and set off for the Swallow Dock.

In the carriage, only Ah Zi was waiting for Ah Zhu, and Sister-in-law Deng was originally a single carriage. Seeing Azhu coming in with tears, Azi couldn't help but pouted with disdain. "Hypocrisy! If he really can't bear you, why won't he let me stay? ”

Ah Zhu immediately collected her tears when she heard this, only glared at her angrily and said, "Childe has always been kind, if you are not willing to embarrass me, why don't you ask Childe for sin?" ”

"Hah!" Ah Zi immediately sneered, and his words were full of mockery. "Plead guilty to him? Why is he? I'm not wrong! ”

Ah Zhu looked at Ah Zi in disappointment for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly after a long time. "Childe is right, you are too angry, copy more scriptures when you go back!"

Ah Zi's expression changed suddenly, and finally gritted his teeth and threw down a sentence: "He doesn't make me happy, and I will never let him feel better!" Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see! Then he turned his back to Azhu and slew.

Ah Zhu only thought that Ah Zi was angry again, only sighed, and casually flipped out a travelogue but didn't notice it at first, the face that was seven or eight points similar to her instantly distorted, and at this moment, she suddenly faced a mysterious smile faintly revealed on the inner wall of the carriage, poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and hideous like a ghost!
