Chapter Twenty-Five: Tempting the Child

In the Wangjiang attic with a wide line of sight, the literati with a sword and a heart sit around to taste tea, watch the lights of the imperial city, discuss the current situation in the north and south, and listen to Mr. Chrysostom revisit the old story of the death of Prince Heng in the snow disaster in the Southern Dynasty.

Everyone said nothing, but it was not any one of them who broke the deadlock, but a little boy dressed as a scholar, who seemed curious and ignorant, and stood motionless in the shadow cast by the pillar.

Xu was the son of a certain scholar, and everyone speculated that it was not good to be honest or deliberately embarrassed by a small child, so they did not care about his disturbance, and waited for Mr. Chrysostom to say something.

I heard the little boy speak: "Mr. Hub, not afraid of trouble coming out of his mouth? He seemed to bend his head to look at everyone, and his eyes were surprisingly bright. Mr. Chen told him that royal affairs should never be declared. This gentleman is supposed to be talking about royal affairs.

Mr. Chrysostom stroked his jawbeard, got up and saluted back, and said, "Thank you Xiao Langjun for reminding me." Fu sat down again and continued to say, "Spring hunting is searching, summer hunting is seedling, autumn hunting is slaughter, and winter hunting is hunting." When the weather is good, after the blizzard has reached spring, which is the reproduction period of all things, we should focus on hunting, prohibit the killing of pregnant animals, maintain the balance of the world, and conform to the time of heaven. It is not an accident that the prince of Qiaoxiyi Heng died, he despised the gods, Buddhas and gods, did not abide by the seasons of the heavens, wantonly hunted the pregnant, so that the newborn could not come to the world, leading to the wrath of the heavens, and the retribution was unhappy......"

Mr. Chrysostom did not get this name in vain, and once he opened his mouth, there was no reason to take it back. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, wanting to see the expression of the little boy who had not squeaked for a long time.

There is still no trace of him under the pillar.

In another room, two young men in plain clothes sat on the chessboard, killing inseparable, the white son settled, the sunspot followed closely, no one refused to fall behind, several onlookers were dizzying, secretly shouting, only to see the exquisite layout on the chessboard, there is no flaw to find, occasionally there are one or two people who can break the chess game, all of them are gearing up, eager to try.

The battle was so exciting that no one noticed that a little boy pushed the door in.

The little boy was not interested in talking, so he glanced at it twice, shook his sleeves and walked to a lamp and candle, and sat down slowly in a seat, his eyes fixed on the young man who was lying on his back, and his dark eyes shone with an incomprehensible light.

Chen Ju really couldn't figure it out, obviously he took Fanqiu out of Feiwu County, but Fanqiu had more fate with others, how could he not feel depressed.

"Fanqiu, where are you messing around?" The chess game is over, and the chess players are all happy. Chen Ju paced over and sat down beside Fanqiu.

Fanqiu shook his head, "No, I've been listening to the musicians outside the house. ”

"Really? Don't fool sir. Chen Ju stroked Fanqiu's head, smiled slightly, and looked up to see that the people opposite had their eyes open, the corners of their mouths smiled lightly, and they looked at them quietly.

"Childe." Chen Ju was not in a hurry, and shook his sleeves.

The young man waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and after a moment of silence, he left the house, looked at Fanqiu, and said, "Your name is Fanqiu?" Fanqiu nodded.

"You like eagles, don't you?"

Fanqiu continued to nod, and the next moment his eyes suddenly widened, and his surprise was beyond words. How did he know?

The young man looked at his doubts, but did not rush to explain.

After the sound of the collision of chess pieces, the room gradually quieted down, and only the sound of fingers twisting the cuffs remained. The partition door "squeaked" and opened again, and Tianbao stepped inside.

The sound of the piano has stopped, the Pavilion is brightly lit, and Mr. Chrysostom continues to speak freely, and the agitated sound resounds through the open lobby and in the corridors and corridors.

"After our emperor ascended the throne, he wantonly slaughtered the old ministers of the former dynasty, where can we see the shadow of benevolence and filial piety in the past, it is just a scene and a fire, and it is only a matter of time before Lin'an falls into trouble......"

Everyone in the room held their breath. The young man got up and walked to the window, looking at the hazy night outside the window, his face was calm and calm, his eyes were ruthless, and his handsome side face showed a soft and quiet arc in the shadow of the lamplight.

"Why did Hu Nei enter the palace?" Chen Ju asked Tianbao, and his gaze was still on the young man standing by the windowβ€”Qu Yi had already sensed his intention.

Tianbao lowered his head, leaned over and replied: "Entering the palace is not the villain's will, the villain's main sect is Changshan Hu's family, because the grandfather and the traitor's general were convicted of the family, the adult men in the clan were stabbed with side plugs, and the female dependents and underage children were demoted to ** servants, the villain was still hanging down at the time, and survived, but because he was punished by rot from the Yan Branch, driven by the stable, and raised a foal for the royal family, the villain once thought that life was bleak, but it was a bright time, once the lord and Changshan Shichiro raced horses, and the villain picked out a good horse to help the lord and the monarch pull out the champion, Blessed by the lord and the king, he was freed from the slavery of the villain, promoted to a private envoy, and was able to serve by the king's side. ”

This kind of encounter must be a painful experience, Tianbao revisited the old things and seemed to be light, as if telling an inconsequential matter, either he had been weathered and seen through the floating life, or this person was deep in the city and good at forbearance.

Tianbao is the close attendant of King Changshan before driving, after the marriage of Yuanqu was appointed as the living officer of Quyi, from Liyang to Longxi, and then from the Middle Dynasty to Lin'an, all the way to take care of everything, no matter how small, it can be said that he is the confidant of King Changshan.

Chen Ju smiled indifferently and said to the person in front of the window: "It's too cold, so son, let's come over and have a cup of hot tea first." ”

Qu Yi turned around when he heard this, his stiff face stretched, and he sat down in front of him, "Mr. Chen has come from afar, I'm afraid it's not just about inviting me to drink a cup of tea."

Chen Ju was stunned, he was fully prepared for a long time of persuasion before coming to see Gongzi, but what he didn't expect was that Gongzi was so frank, "Gongzi already knew Ju's intentions, and he made it clear that he was in the next - the noble concubine is autocratic, the ambition is known to everyone, and there are few people left who are trusted by the lord's side, and now he is even more isolated, and the lord needs Gongzi's assistance to avoid falling into embarrassment." ”

As the most proud disciple of Master Zhen, Mr. Chen bent down and retired and hid his weapons for the time being, in order to show his skills today. The court is like the wind to me, and the assistant that the gentleman said...... Mr. Chen still thinks that the mediocre king needs to assist? Qu Yi sat upright and smoothed out a little wrinkle between his eyebrows.

Chen Ju is very calm, after all, he is not facing ordinary people, but the world-famous Lan Lu Gongzi, but Chen Ju is not a hot-headed person who will act impulsively, he smiled calmly, and said unhurriedly: "I have heard that in ancient times, Song Yu made an expression of the lust of the disciples, whether the disciples were lustful, whether Song Yu was really not moved by the beauty, the disciples knew in their hearts, Song Yu also knew in their hearts, and the sons probably didn't know, so far many people don't know, but those who have experienced this must know ......"

The candlelight flickered, reflecting Qu Yi's gentle and deep eyes. Qu Yi didn't seem to be able to hear what Chen Ju was talking about......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It is normal for a prince to be suspicious, after all, the reputation of the lord is a fact that is heard all over the world, and he can talk a lot, and his reputation is slandered in the city, and gossip can kill innocents. ”

Fanqiu didn't understand a word, he bent his head and looked at Qu Yi's robe fixedly, the dark golden line outlined the slender and promoted green bamboo, very chic.

Qu Yi seemed to smile, "What Mr. means is that I have also listened to the rumors in the market and doubted the style of the monarch." ”

"Don't dare. Even if Childe is angry, he still has to continue to present it. "Chen Ju is neither humble nor arrogant," the pessimistic thoughts of the people are often sharp swords, and now there are countless swords stabbed in the heart of the lord, and countless swords are about to stab her, and soon the son will become the closest person to the lord. ”

"Oh, my sword is out of its sheath?" Qu Yi raised her eyebrows, played with the teacup, and muttered, "Before she realizes it, it's not impossible to return to the sheath." What's more, I never had the urge to draw my sword. ”

"I came to persuade Gongzi, but Gongzi countered the ...... of the army" Chen Ju shook his head, because he didn't know Lan Lu too well.

"Wen Gongzi traveled around the world when he was young, carrying the burden of the pipe, eating and dwelling, and also had a piano and a crane into the Central Plains, admired in the next, and today I have the fate to drink tea with the son, which is a great luck. The coming day is long, goodbye to the court, and I hope that the son's original intention will not change. Under the candlelight, Chen Ju's gaze was extremely earnest.

"You ......" is really difficult. Qu Yi suddenly laughed, Zhen Chuanting's students were indeed unusual, from north to south, most of them advised him to get out, and the others just avoided talking about it, as if they were afraid that he would be embarrassed, only Chen Ju persuaded him to assist the queen as Changshan Palace.

Perhaps, it is also a good choice to live with that weird and unlikable little girl, at least the rest of the days will not be boring.
