Chapter 9: Nine Thousand Years Old
"Qiu Aiqing, do you still have any questions?" Bai Li Chu looked at her, and the corners of his delicate lips were slightly curved.
When discussing court affairs, Baili Chu and her are still monarchs and ministers, so they are never called 'horses', at least they do enough on their faces, so as not to let some old antiques talk about the ancestral family law all day long, and the horses are not allowed to take up real positions.
The corner of Qiu Yebai's eyes swept over Baili Lingfeng on the side, but he found that he was also looking at her directly, but when he looked closely, he found that he didn't know what he was thinking, although his eyes were on her, he looked a little out of the world, and even Li Mu and the others continued to remain silent.
Before her, they had basically no 'doubts'.
She then shook her head as well: "No, there is nothing wrong with Weichen. ”
Bai Li Chu nodded and said leisurely: "Since everyone has no problems, then we can continue to discuss the big plan." ”
……
When Autumn Leaf White came out of the upper study, the sky had already darkened, and the sky was full of stars.
"Lord Qiu, I hope that you and I will cooperate sincerely and teach you more in the future." A warm voice sounded from behind Akiba Bai.
Qiu Yebai turned around, looked at Mei Su, and said indifferently: "Don't dare to be, Mei Siyun, you and I are colleagues in the DPRK and China, how dare you talk about teaching." ”
Mei Su has no merit on him, and the household department does not have a too suitable official position for him to hold now, so Baili Chu set up an official position under the household department, although it is only a seventh grade, but Mei Su can directly report to the general Wang Baili Lingfeng and Qiu Yebai, who are responsible for the rebellion this time, and the status is extraordinary.
Mei Su looked at her, her shallow eyes seemed to flash an unpredictable and faint light, and then she seemed to be quite sincere: "Although the adults and I have old days, I still hope that the adults will not take it to heart." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Qiu Yebai to answer, he only smiled slightly, raised his hand, and turned to leave.
She looked at his distant back, her expression slightly condensed.
The merchant was heavy on profits, and there were not enough interests to attract him, so how could he risk participating in the southern expedition to rebel?
What is this Mei Su's calculations in his heart?
But......
She turned to look at the study, squinting slightly, what she needed to figure out more now was what the other person was having.
Ning Qiu walked over and put a cloak on her very intimately: "Fourth Shao, we can go back to the Mingguang Hall first to wait for His Highness, His Highness is always not good to talk to Si Shao in the hall." ”
Qiu Yebai nodded, looked at her and smiled: "Qiu'er is always the one with the most good blue heart, Xiao Qi is a blessed guy." ”
Xiao Qi can follow her, naturally has his ability, the baby is like a sword of hers, with high talent, and her temperament is also pampered by her, she is not informal, and she is used to taking the sword to complete a qiē thing and task, Xiao Qi is about the same age as the baby, although she looks confused, stunned, but it is like a shield in her hand, not as weak as the crown, and it is very stable to really do things, and Ning Dong is no different.
She always felt that Xiao Qi was still young, but she didn't want to be a 'loving sister', she had already calculated Ning Qiu, and she quietly followed Ning Qiu's sister long and sister short on weekdays, just waiting to reunite with Ning Qiu after a long absence, and directly became obsessed with Ning Qiu.
The fierce girl was afraid of pestering Lang, but Ning Qiu couldn't match his method and fell into it.
Speaking of Xiao Qi, Ning Qiu couldn't help but blushed slightly: "Fourth young don't make fun of your subordinates, people in this grade can't stand it." ”
Qiu Yebai looked at Ning Qiu and raised her eyebrows slightly: "The female junior holds the gold brick." ”
Ning Qiu's smile faded: "The subordinate is more than three years older than Xiao Qi. ”
Thinking of this, she was depressed, she was about the same age as Si Shao, but Xiao Qi was several years younger than her.
Qiu Yebai looked at her and sneered: "It's a shame that you, a girl, are you still a person in the rivers and lakes, do you have to deal with such secular rules?" ”
Ning Qiu lowered his eyes, smiled, and changed the topic: "It's past the meal, Your Highness hasn't had dinner yet, do you want to cook it yourself?" ”
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Qiu Yebai didn't ask any more, just turned around and walked towards the Mingguang Palace, shaking her head: "You girl can even change the topic intimately." ”
This is someone else's private matter, and she only hopes that the people around her can use their own happiness.
The master and servant slowly returned to the Mingguang Palace.
Akiba Bai didn't notice that there was a figure in the distance who was looking thoughtfully at her back as she left.
"Your Highness, there's something wrong with Akiba Bai?" Li Mu watched Baili Lingfeng staring at Qiu Yebai's back in a daze, and called him a little suspiciously.
Baili Lingfeng was silent for a while, and shook his head a little: "Li Mu, I always feel as if I have seen him somewhere." ”
Li Mu said inexplicably: "Your Highness, don't you seem to have seen him somewhere, before you were framed by him, did you often see him?" ”
Your Highness, is this a demon?
Baili Lingfeng shook his head, his eyes were slightly cold: "Or do you think there is something wrong with Qiu Yebai?" ”
Li Mu's face changed, and he lowered his voice: "It's hard to do it, he's ......." ”
Baili Lingfeng looked at Li Mu's appearance, thinking that he knew something, and also leaned over sideways, his expression was also grim: "What is it?" ”
Li Mu said with a mysterious face: "Miao Zi barbarian's spies! ”
Baili Lingfeng: "Li Mu, don't get old lately to listen to books, your wife cried to me yesterday." ”
He really had too high hopes for Li Mu, a rough man, and it was better to ask Xiao Pingzi about this matter than to ask him.
Baili Lingfeng shook his head helplessly, then looked at the corner where Autumn Leaf White had disappeared, and narrowed his eyes.
For some reason, he felt that there must be something strange and unspeakable about Akiba Bai.
……*……*……*……
Myeongkoden
The smell of burnt crisp wafted in the air, and the aroma of the soup pot made the crane guards who patrolled or stood guard nearby smell it and couldn't help but swallow their saliva, feeling that they had just eaten and were hungry again.
Well, the colt is in a good mood today, and he is cooking again, His Royal Highness is really a good mouthful.
At some time, the horse is in a very good mood, and it is really a wonderful thing to be able to cook some of it, which is really better than rewarding silver.
The crane guards did not realize that they, like the people of the Sword Pavilion, gradually felt that the craftsmanship of eating autumn leaves was a reward.
"Bringing everything to the garden, will it be cold?" Qiu Yebai looked at a boiled fish, a seabed coconut chicken soup, and a green vegetable on the table, and hesitated.
Shangjing belongs to the north, and it is not yet summer at this time, and the weather is still quite cold, so she made a dish of fish from the south and a dish of chicken soup, all of which should be eaten steaming.
Baili Chu's body is cold, so it's better to use some of these things.
It's just that there is a cold wind blowing in this garden from time to time, and I always feel that the vegetables will be blown cold after a while.
But seeing Ning Qiu smiling, he took a few golden cabbage lids and put them on the dishes, and then beckoned, and saw Ning Chun coming out of nowhere, with a black face and a few extremely delicate small stoves in his hands.
Ning Qiu said with a smile: "The fourth young man likes to accompany the beauty under the moon before the flower, how can we who are personal maidservants not consider Zhou Xiang?" ”
When Qiu Yebai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You girl, you are the most careful, that is, you always don't forget to hurt people." ”
She paused, looked at Ning Chun again, and said strangely: "Chun'er, how does it look wrong, who annoyed you?" ”
Before Qiu Ye's white voice fell, he saw Ning Chun standing up behind him 'Answer', the man was carrying a basket of silver silk smokeless charcoal in his hand, who was the one with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, not Bai Nineteen?
Bai Nineteen saw Autumn Leaves and said solemnly: "Yunqi, Bai Nineteen has seen the horse master!" ”
The two names of 'Yunqi and Bai Nineteen' bite very loudly and clearly.
Akiba Bai raised his eyebrows, a little unclear so he nodded: "Hmm." ”
She didn't know the allusion between Ning Qiu and Bai Nineteen, she only knew that her most stubborn girl had somehow taken the peach blossom luck recently, and Bai Nineteen was obsessed, and it seemed that she didn't have to worry about no one daring to ask for it.
And Ning Qiu was already laughing uncontrollably on the side, it must have been when she ordered Ning Chun to find the small charcoal stove and was caught by Bai Shijiu.
These days, when Fan Ningchun was in the Mingguang Palace, he was always like a thief, extremely vigilant, and he almost followed Qiu Yebai's side without leaving an inch.
Ning Chun looked at Ning Qiu's smiling appearance, and said coldly while putting the charcoal stove on the table: "Ning Chun, your tooth has fallen out." ”
Ning Qiu didn't hear it, reached out to cover his mouth, and continued to laugh.
After waiting for the delicate small charcoal stove to be lit on a warm charcoal fire, Ning Chun hurriedly said to Qiu Yebai: "Si Shao, I'll go to the kitchen." ”
Akiba Bai nodded: "Yes." ”
After getting Akiba Bai's permission, she left in a hurry, and Bai Nineteen immediately waved at Akiba Bai and immediately followed.
Qiu Yebai looked at Ning Chun's ghost-like back, and then looked at Ning Qiu: "This, what's wrong?" ”
Ning Qiu laughed and told the story between Bai Nineteen and Ning Qiu one by one.
When she heard this, she couldn't help laughing, the control crane supervisor was really amazing.
However, she was originally worried that Ning Chun's temperament was the most difficult to find a home, but now it seems that she ......
"I don't have to worry about it." Akiba Bai smiled and shook his head.
"I think Bai Nineteen can restrain her." Ning Qiu covered his lips and joked, then looked at Qiu Yebai and said, "Si Shao, I really want to go to the kitchen to see if the lotus leaf rice is steamed." ”
Autumn Leaf Bai bowed slightly, and explained: "Seeing that only half of the steamed water is still boiled outside, let's start the pot, if this lotus leaf rice is steamed for a long time, the aroma of the lotus leaf will also disperse." ”
Seeing Ning Qiu leave, Qiu Ye Bai sat down, while holding a small fire tongs to adjust the charcoal fire under the pot, while waiting for Baili Chu to come.
In less than a quarter of an hour, she heard a familiar voice not far away, and estimated that it was the beginning of a hundred miles to return, so she got up with a smile and greeted her.
But he didn't want to get closer, and he heard Shuangbai's voice: "Your Highness, this time Mei Su will take the initiative to donate the granary, and his subordinates always feel that he has another deep meaning, you just take over the granary, why do you need to canonize him, and let him participate in the southern expedition against rebellion, what if he and the Du family thief don't die, what if the branch is born?" ”
When Qiu Yebai heard this, her steps were stunned, she originally wanted to ask Baili Chu this question in person, but now that Shuangbai asked, she wanted to know what Bai Li Chu was going to do.
After a while, Bailichu's cool and indifferent voice also sounded: "He is so smart, isn't it a waste for this palace to let him wander outside, if there is a problem with these grains and grasses, the commander will naturally be held accountable." ”
Qiu Yebai secretly said in her heart, yes, she also thinks so, this is also the only possibility that Ah Chu will use the Du family's descendants.
Hearing this, Shuangbai said thoughtfully: "But Your Highness, the current shape of the Southern Xinjiang Province is now in ...... shape of the province, I am afraid that there is no room for mistakes, if Mei Su takes the opportunity to make trouble, or something else." ”
"Then let him be in trouble." Bai Li Chu said lightly, he paused: "If he doesn't make trouble, it won't be useless." ”
When Baili Chu said the three words 'useless', his voice was extremely soft, but with a chill that penetrated into his bones, like a gust of wind blowing from the deepest part of hell, making Shuangbai and Qiuye Bai standing behind the flowers not far away tremble slightly.
She frowned slightly, she knew Ah Chu's habit of loving 'games' in the world, but others were playing the world and swimming themselves, while his 'game' was a plaything with people.
But this time, he took the 'game' of Meisu to pass the pastime, isn't it a bit too much.
The southern expedition is to go deep into the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, and if there is something wrong, I am afraid that it will be hundreds of innocent lives.
Shuangbai hesitated for a moment, but sighed lightly and said, "Your Highness, are you still the same plan as before?" ”
Bai Li Chu said lightly: "Well, although Xiaobai herself is a rare jade, she is still some distance away from being able to support the government alone, she has been in the office for less than three years, the time is too short, and the help around her is too little." ”
When Autumn Leaves Bai heard this, he was instantly shocked, and he supported the government alone?
What does that mean!
"Mei Su is a member of the Du family, he is not an easy person, you use him as a test stone for Lord Qiu, will the pressure be too great, and will she be annoyed by His Royal Highness's ......." Shuangbai has always been a careful person, so he naturally has to think carefully for Bailichu.
Bai Li Chu looked at the sky, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and his voice was cold: "It's too wasteful to let Mei Su only make a test stone, there are too few people around Xiaobai, Xiaobai has to adjust so that he can use it, and the belongings of the mother's family in this palace are useful if they fall into his hands." ”
This time, not only Qiu Ye Bai was shocked, but even Shuangbai was stunned: "Your Highness, you ...... This is going to let Lord Qiu use Mei Su, but our people on the Saiwai Trade Road are ready to take over the Mei family's imperial merchants, and their business in the south is also opening quite smoothly, and it is already the third trading house in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Is it not safer to use one's own people than to use the enemy's people?
"That's right, you should also understand that Mei Su is indeed better than the average businessman, and ......."
The cool breeze of the cold spring night swept by, blowing the long bangs of the beginning of a hundred miles, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
"There is an unusual relationship between him and Xiaobai, even if there is no such relationship, according to his temperament, as long as he still has that little thought about Xiaobai, he will not let Xiaobai be hurt by others."
Qiu Yebai listened to the words of Baili Chu, and his eyebrows became more and more raised.
"Your Highness, aren't you worried?" Shuangbai couldn't help but sigh secretly, his Royal Highness really can see the weaknesses of people's hearts more thoroughly than anyone else, so he can quietly make people become puppets in his hands one by one.
Baili Chu raised his hand and lazily flicked the bangs that fell in front of his charming eyes: "The little white man and the heart are from the palace, just rely on Mei Su, hum!" ”
He paused, his eyes cold: "In these days when the palace is still there, if Mei Su can't be used, just let him disappear." ”
"We also have so many of our own people around us, why do you need to use outsiders?" Shuangbai didn't quite understand.
When Baili Chu heard this, he sneered lightly: "Do you mean those cow ghosts and snake gods in the court?" ”
Shuangbai was dumbfounded, yes, although Autumn Leaf White is also considered a sailing tree in her career, and she is also extremely powerful, but she is still too tender after all.
There are some things that are about qualifications, identity, and courage, and Autumn Leaves is above the control of the government, and it is still incomparable with his own long-tested master.
"Your Highness......." Shuangbai was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise not far away.
"Who's there!" His eyes lit up, and he immediately scolded sharply.
After a while, Shuangbai was stunned and looked at the slender figure standing not far away: "Autumn ...... My lord. ”
Qiu Yebai didn't look at him, but looked at Baili Chu directly, his eyes were cold: "Your Highness, I think you forgot what I said to you?" ”
When Baili Chu saw her, he was also stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "I forgot that this palace has always been very good, and it is better than this palace." ”
How long had she been standing there, and she had heard what she should have heard and what she shouldn't.
"Your Highness." Akiba Bai's expression turned cold: "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
Bai Lichu looked at her, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Xiaobai, do you want to be nine thousand years old?" ”
