Chapter 213

After Mu Qing followed Meng Qi into the door, he looked left and right without a trace, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although this is the residence of the prince, it is not very gorgeous or extravagant, it does not look much different from the ordinary official eunuchs, and the porcelain furnishings are not very expensive, that is, the paintings on the wall are all handiwork.

Mu Qing and Meng Qi walked through the front hall and a short corridor together, and then entered the study.

This place is called "Chi Auditorium", and as soon as you enter, you can smell the faint smell of incense. Mu Qing didn't like this, but he only frowned slightly.

Li Zixuan, who was wearing a dark red robe, stood up when he saw them enter the door, his expression was stern, and he bowed and saluted: "I have seen two gentlemen." ”

Meng Qi nodded lightly and accepted it, but Mu Qing was still smiling and turned sideways slightly, and did not accept the full salute.

Li Zixuan's eyes flashed slightly when he saw Mu Qing's movements, although this action was small, it really showed some of Mu Qing's attitudes, and also made Li Zixuan recognize the way to get along in the future. His mind turned sharply, but after the Eighth Highness straightened up, he regained his usual stereotypical expression.

"The minister has just gone to find a few books that he needs, and I hope that His Highness will consult the books before I come tomorrow and read through the articles I have learned today."

Meng Qi put the book in his hand on the table, but halfway through, he was taken by Li Zixuan with both hands, and replied respectfully: "The student understands." This kind of respectful attitude is very different from that in Taixue, which made Mu Qing look sideways slightly.

Mu Qing didn't know what Meng Qi taught Li Zixuan, and he wasn't ready to know, sometimes it was always better to understand something less. He packed up his official uniform and sat down on a low stool beside him, his eyes looking at the bookshelf.

It is not fashionable to put books upright, but to put them in blue boxes, set them up on the shelves, and then cover them with a yellow curtain.

Li Zixuan over there had already stopped reciting, and it seemed that his learning results had made Meng Qi very satisfied, and although he was older, his still handsome face had a faint sense of relief.

The Eighth Prince looked at Mu Qing and found that Mu Qing was staring at his bookshelf, so he said, "If Mr. Mu likes it, Mr. Mu can see all those books." ”

Mu Qing was not polite to him, smiled and arched his hand, then lifted the curtain and took a dark blue box out of it.

Gently put it on the bookcase, opened the jade buckle on the side, lifted the lid on it, and saw the three square words on the book inside: The Legend of the West Chamber.

Mu Qing was stunned, and then took it out and opened it as if nothing happened, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Li Zixuan, who was sitting there upright. Mu Qing is a person who likes to think more about everything, if it is a coincidence that this box is placed in a conspicuous place, it is a coincidence that the book he wrote is placed in it, and it is a coincidence that he happens to be seen by himself, then these coincidences are inevitably too strange.

looked at the scroll, but in fact, Mu Qing didn't go to his head at all.

He didn't believe that it was unintentional, but if it was intentional, what did Li Zixuan want to do?

Mu Qing frowned slightly, then closed the book and put it back into the distance. At this time, Meng Qi had already finished checking Li Zixuan's homework. Although today is only the first time to enter the palace to teach, but in the past, Li Zixuan's homework has always been taken care of by Meng Qi, and Li Zixuan is a clever child, even if Meng Qi can't show much because of his identity, but as far as the identity of Mr. is concerned, he likes smart students, and Li Zixuan happens to be a very good student.

Meng Qi obviously also knew Li Muyan's thoughts, so the books he chose did not have many ways to govern the country as the way of kings, but mostly chapters for courtiers and gentlemen.

Li Zixuan's somewhat childish face was still respectful and obedient, and he looked very square.

Meng Qi packed up the scroll and put it under his arm again. He stood up, Li Zixuan saluted him, and Meng Qi returned the salute, which is the rule between teachers and students.

Then, Meng Qi said: "Your Highness, later, you can also go to rest for a day or two to loosen your muscles and bones, it is not good to sit like this for a long time." ”

Li Zixuan was not hypocritical, he turned around and walked out of the study directly, and saw that he was going to the flower hall on the side, and when he went out, naturally there were palace people who came forward to serve His Royal Highness. In the study, there are now only Meng Qi and Mu Qing left.

Mu Qing got up from his seat, walked to Meng Qi's side and poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is smart and astute, congratulations to Master Meng for accepting a good student." ”

Meng Qi only smiled when he heard this, but did not speak. Mu Qing probably also knew what he meant, this student accepted it, both glory and loss, if Li Zixuan had been calm and smooth, in case he thought about it, when the time came, he would make a mistake, and Meng Qi's life would not be able to survive it.

"The old man survived the original disaster, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse this time."

Mu Qing knew that what he said was that the Meng family was framed as a collaborator and traitor, and the whole family died and was exiled, and only Meng Qi was able to escape because of the county lord of Sangluo, but he knew that Mu Qing would not have the eyesight to reveal people's scars, so he just smiled and said: "Naturally, it is a blessing, Lord Meng doesn't have to worry about it, the left and right saints have their own decisions in their hearts, and we don't need to worry." ”

This thing sounds unfazed, but in fact, he can't find the slightest mistake, Mu Qing clearly comforted him that he has His Majesty in charge, even if this apprenticeship is successful, if something happens in the future, Meng Qi can also shirk the life of His Majesty, and he can save his life when the time comes, but there is really no omission in saying it, and Mu Qing's face is still smiling like a spring breeze.

Meng Qi raised his eyes to look at him, only feeling that he was afraid that he had underestimated this Mu Qing Siye before, although he was young when he first entered the officialdom, he was able to get the blue eyes of many nobles, and now it seems that there is a reason.

Meng Qi has always been a dull-minded person, the little romance when he was young was completely wiped out by the ups and downs after that, and now his heart is thinking about the peace and happiness of his wife, that is, the only heir can get what he wants.

The former is devoted to him, and Meng Qi treats her very well, naturally she is kind and beautiful. But the latter, the guilt and empty expectation in his heart made Meng Qi have to pick up some thoughts again, and he didn't completely circle himself like before, and no one paid attention to it.

Meng Qi's narrow eyes glanced at Mu Qing with a little inquiry, and these eyes and the meaning in them made Mu Qing feel even more familiar, but before Mu Qing could react, he heard Meng Qi say: "Master Cheng Siye's auspicious words, I hope so." ”

Mu Qing also smiled and said, "Lord Meng is naturally blessed. ”

Meng Qi smiled, just a faint curved corner of his lips, but it was this faint curvature that made Mu Qing see a little amazingly handsome.

The eyes are long, narrow, the bridge of the nose is high, and the thin lips seem to have the color of peach blossoms.

Almost instantly, Mu Qing realized where that déjà vu came from.

The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were familiar, making Mu Qing feel a chill down his spine.

He frowned suddenly, and then met Meng Qi's somewhat puzzled gaze, suddenly retracted his feelings, and said with a wry smile: "Xu got up this morning and blew the wind, and now I feel a little headache." ”

Meng Qi showed a slightly worried look: "If you are not happy, you can rest for a day, and you will not be blamed if you want to come to the Holy Lord." ”

Mu Qing nodded a little carelessly, even though he knew in his heart that he would have a lot of trouble in the future if he didn't do well in the first class, but he had things in his heart, which made his mind chaotic, and now he was afraid that he would not be able to teach anything.

Putting the bow and arrows he brought in the prince's office, Mu Qing asked the palace people to take leave and walked out of the palace gate quickly. The palanquin man guarding the gate of the palace looked at Mu Qing in surprise, and when he came out, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "My lord came out so early?" "Obviously, Mu Qing told them that he would wait until it was dark.

Mu Qing frowned, didn't say a word to him, and directly opened the sedan door and sat in, and the sedan chair drivers looked at each other and heard Mu Qing's voice coming from inside: "Go quickly." ”

The sedan chair drivers hurriedly returned to their places, and the leader asked: "My lord, but do you want to go back to Zhuangwang's mansion?" ”

"Yes. …… Wait," Mu Qing suddenly changed his mind, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Go to the long alley." ”

Diagonal long alleys, a lot of Hu people.

The sedan chair drivers did not ask what the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty was going to do with the Hu people, but hurriedly carried the sedan chair and strode towards the long alley.

============================================================================================

After Mu Qing left, Meng Qi did not leave, but sat down in the same place, took a sip of tea, and took the scroll that Mu Qing put on the table.

After a while, Li Zixuan entered the door, looked left and right and found that he didn't see Mu Qing's figure, blinked, and then heard Meng Qi's voice coming: "Master Mu is feeling unwell, I'm afraid today's class will be delayed until tomorrow." ”

Li Zixuan also knew that Mu Qing came over this time just to play with him, and it didn't matter if he didn't worry about it for a day or two, so he smiled, but in his heart, it was a pity that what he had to say today would be saved until tomorrow. Mu Qing is a celebrity in front of the saint, this is not a secret, it is always good to be close, but it is not bad for the situation of the past two days.

He walked to Meng Qi's side and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and saw Meng Qi looking at the West Chamber, so he said, "Mr. also likes this book?" ”

"Although it is about the love between men and women, it is well written." Meng Qi praised it in a flat voice, obviously having seen it.

However, Li Zixuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, this prince, who is usually an upright prince, now has a rare age-appropriate vitality when he laughs: "If you guess well, I'm afraid that the county lord of Sangluo likes to watch this, right?" ”

When Meng Qi heard this, he just turned his head away and went to drink tea, but that look clearly made Li Zixuan guess.

Although the county lord of Sangluo is the county lord, he has not liked to read since he was a child, and although he can read and write, he is good at calligraphy, but he has never loved these. The first emperor was restrained from time to time, and as soon as the first emperor went, he became more and more slack, and he was not even willing to read the book himself, but wanted to let people read it, so the habit of listening to books was logical.

This "The Legend of the West Chamber" is not long or short, but it is not short, but I am afraid that the whole book will be read by Meng Qi.

Meng Qi, who was punctured by the love of husband and wife, was not annoyed, but was a little embarrassed, but immediately Master Meng adjusted his mentality: "It is beneficial to open the book, and it is good to make the county lord like it." ”

This made Li Zixuan a little surprised, everyone in the world said that the county lord of Sangluo had found a good husband, and now it is true.

Li Zixuan didn't ask much, for fear that his thin-skinned new gentleman would be angry, so he diverted the topic.

When the sun set and was no longer so sunny, Meng Qi got up to say goodbye, and Li Zixuan served tea to the guests.

When Meng Qi went out, Li Zixuan walked to the table, his hand gently caressing the back of the books in the West Chamber, and the smile on his face was incomprehensible.
