Chapter VII: Secret Deliberations

Just after spring, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the eyes are full of purple and red. The peony blooms the most beautifully, the scorching Luoyang red, the luminous white of the jade bone ice heart, the dignified and beautiful Wei Zi, the color and fragrance are absolutely unique, such as ice, silver, jade, fire, and emerald.

People are also like flowers, Yin Xiaohe is also a ten-year-old girl after all, and she is beautiful among the flowers, even compared with flowers. She chose a bright red golden pill flower to put on the top of her head, and her smiling face was as delicate as a flower. Stretching out his jade lotus-like arm, he beckoned to the girl on the steps.

"Sui'er, come down, what a beautiful flower."

Deng Sui walked down slowly, holding an oilcloth umbrella in his hand, covering the top of Yin Xiaohe's head, and said lightly, "The sun is so big, be careful of your delicate skin." "The flower umbrella is pink and colorful, which makes the skin of the two girls look like cream.

"Sui'er, look, is this peony I picked beautiful?" Yin Xiaohe turned around in front of Deng Sui, tilting her head to let her look at the flowers above her head.

"Beautiful, it's just that people are more beautiful than flowers, Li'er, your country is fragrant, and even flowers are ashamed!" Deng Sui helped the flower again.

Although Deng Sui is one year younger than the Yinxiao monk, he is a little taller. The beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, but they were attracted by a figure in the garden.

There are still many pear trees in the garden, the pear blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, the branches and flowers are clustered, and it is very beautiful. A slender young man, standing under a pear tree, was looking at them with blazing eyes. A slight breeze blew and rolled up the corners of the boy's clothes.

He was wearing a white casual dress, and he looked even more plump and handsome. Deng Sui recognized that it was Liu Qing, the waste prince she had saved in the study, not only did her face turn red, she nodded slightly, and bent her knees, but her eyes were lowered and she refused to look at him again.

Yin Xiaohe saw Deng Sui's movements, so he also looked at Liu Qing, slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be a little curious. "Sui'er, who is that person? How come I have been here for a few days and have never seen him. He's not your brother! ”

Deng Sui remembered his father's instructions and said indifferently, "He is the youngest son of the scholar Liu Ying, and when he came here to play a few days ago, he occasionally contracted a cold and lived in my house for a few days. ”

Yin Xiaohe looked at Liu Qing again, and couldn't help but be suspicious, "The youngest son of a scholar is extraordinary, it's really a miracle." ”

Deng Sui was afraid that she would ask more, so he said, "He has been arrogant by his father since he was a child, and he is just a little arrogant, where is there any bearing." Let's go to play in the pool, yesterday my father put a lot of red carp in the pool, it is very beautiful, let's go feed them. ”

After that, he pulled Yin Xiaohe and walked to the back garden. Yin Xiaohe turned back frequently, thinking secretly in his heart.

There are bright red carp in the pond, Deng Sui ordered the maid to take some bait to feed, and those fish gathered together, competing for food, Yin filial piety and playing, so he took all the bait in Deng Sui's hands, and lingered by the pool.

Deng Sui's heart was also thinking about Liu Qing, and it seemed that his injuries had healed. Although his face was still a little pale, he looked radiant, and his heart couldn't help but be happy for him. It's just that the way he looks at himself can't help but make people blush and heartbeat.

There is also a father who said that he will send him back to Qinghe soon, and I don't know if he will arrive safely. Just thinking about it, it is inevitable that my mind will wander. Yin Li was having a good time, and when he saw that she was silent, he looked at her, but saw a red cloud on her face, her lips were slightly pursed, and her beautiful eyes were hazy.

"Yikes!" Yin Li panicked and screamed, Deng Sui came back to his senses, and not only smiled, "Look at how you feed it, it has become the mouth of the fish." ”

"Sui'er, you laugh at me!" Yin Li pouted, looking very cute.

"I'm laughing at you, I'm saying you're clumsy, don't you say?" Deng Sui's little face was raised, and he looked at her sideways with a smile on his face.

"Ha, you still laugh at me, Li'er doesn't follow." Yin Li said and pushed Deng Sui with her hand, Deng Suijiao smiled and ran away, and the two girls chased and played in the garden, so unhappy.

At night, Yin Xiaohe fell asleep early under the service of the maidservant, she was pampered since she was a child, and all the utensils were brought from her own house, and she would change her clothes every day, and never wear them a second time. The ornaments are all made by my father with a lot of money, and they are extraordinary. Eating is even more particular, every day is cooked by the chef who brings it, and there is never a trace of sloppiness.

Although the Yin family is also from the Yin family, he can't get used to the arrogance of Yin Li, but he is an elder, which is not good. Therefore, Yin told Deng Sui not to enter Yin Li's room easily, and not to touch her things. Deng Sui kept all this in mind, and never refused to step into the Yin Li room.

However, Deng Sui made a request to Yin Li, took back all the clothes she didn't wear, and asked the maidservant girl to give them to the children of poor families nearby. Yin Li didn't care about this, how her clothes were thrown away, as for how to deal with them, it was not within her consideration. So Deng Sui's request, she agreed without even thinking about it.

Because Liu Qing lived in the study, Deng Sui had not entered the study for a long time. A scripture book in his hand has been read by heart. After greeting her grandmother, she still retired her maidservant and walked alone in the garden.

In the shadow of the flower and the tree, her delicate body seemed to be detached, like a fairy, floating uncertainly. Deng Shun, the head-on steward, and his father walked one after the other, and saw that she was alone, but stopped.

Deng Sui saluted his father, "Father, why are you in such a hurry?" Deng Sui asked.

"Sui'er, you came just in time, my father also has something to ask you, let's go to the study together, Liu Qing is already waiting there." After Deng Xun finished speaking, he walked quickly to the study.

In the study, the light was dim, and Liu Qing sat alone on the couch looking at the book, his whole body was shrouded in a layer of shadows. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he was startled at first, and when he heard Deng Xun's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. Deng Xun instructed the steward to guard the door, and entered the study with Deng Sui.

Liu Qing saluted Deng Xun. Deng Xun is after Deng Yu, and his mother is a descendant of the Yin family, Deng Xun is two generations higher than Liu Qing, and even Deng Sui is one generation higher than Liu Qing. However, the marriage of close relatives in the Han court is commonplace, and Deng Suizi can also be included in the draft.

Deng Xun said, "King Qinghe doesn't have to be polite. ”

Liu Qing glanced at Deng Sui, and didn't know what the father and daughter were doing here late at night.

Deng Xun looked at the dim light on the case, and his expression changed. After a long time, he said faintly, "What a shame for the royal family!" ”

Deng Sui and Liu Qing both looked at him, only with inquiring eyes, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and after a long time, Deng Xuncai said lightly, "The Queen Mother and Du Xianghou have done ugly things, and now everyone inside and outside the palace knows about it." I have contacted the ministers in the court, but everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, they are all watching, alas, the government is like this, it makes people sigh! ”

The muscles on Liu Qing's face moved a few times, and he said leisurely, "I didn't dare to mention my biological mother Song Guiren since I was a child, if it wasn't for my father's protection, I don't know how many times I have died." This time, His Majesty has begged the Queen Mother to let me stay in Beijing, but the Queen Mother Dou still regards me as a thorn in her side and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. My humble body lives to avenge my mother's revenge, help the emperor to do a good job on the throne, and protect my Han family forever. If the adults have orders, I, Liu Qing, will help the adults complete it if I don't want to die. ”

Deng Sui's body trembled slightly, and tears came out of his beautiful eyes. The suffering of the abolished prince is not something that ordinary people can understand.

She wiped away her tears and turned her head away, not letting her small actions affect her father's decision.

"Lord Wang, I am helpless at this time, I don't know what to do. There is no one in the court! But I think that King Qinghe has lived in the palace for a long time after all, and this matter in the court must be clearer than me, and he may be able to have a good countermeasure. Deng Xun looked at Liu Qing, his eyes full of anticipation.

Liu Qing suddenly laughed, his laughter was full of desolation, "My lord, I have been kicked out of the palace, if there is still a trace of effect, it is to lobby the old ministers loyal to the Han family in the court, try to disintegrate the Dou clan, I will get up tomorrow, my lord can rest assured." ”

Deng Xun sighed, "You have such courage, it's really a blessing for the Han family." ”

Deng Sui said, "Father, I have also heard about the Queen Mother, but I think that the anger of the heavens and the resentment of people will not last long." That Liu Chang is proud of being favored, and he will definitely have the idea of wanting to take power. If we spread rumors in the market at this time, saying that he would rule the world, Dou Xian and his ilk must be afraid in their hearts, and they will be eliminated as soon as the time comes. If Liu Chang is a person with a heart, he will not sit and wait for death if he wants to come. We don't need to be in a hurry, just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Deng Xun's eyes lit up, "Sui'er, this method is good, tomorrow I will make up a children's song with the children in the market, I think that Dou Xian will be terrified when he listens to it, so that great things can be done." It's just that I don't know who will win in the end. ”

Deng Sui chuckled, "Father, this is not obvious, then Liu Chang will be defeated." After all, Dou Xian has big roots and deep roots, he is a strong male pet and has no foundation, how can he beat him? But we still have to add fuel to the fire, so that the Dou party can also learn a lesson. ”

Liu Qing listened to Deng Sui's words, not only admired this extremely smart little girl, but couldn't help but ask, "How can they learn a lesson?" ”

Deng Sui looked into his eyes, stroked the emanation in front of his forehead with his small hand, smiled, and pointed at Liu Qingdao, "This is the method you just said!" ”

"My way?" Liu Qing was puzzled and asked her again.

"Didn't you say that you were going to lobby the old ministers of the court? This is a good opportunity. If Dou Xianru kills Liu Chang, the Queen Mother will not be happy, and he will not dare to tell the truth to the Queen Mother, if someone tells the Queen Mother the truth at this time, what do you think will be the consequences? She looked at Liu Qing wisely, her small mouth was slightly upturned, and she saw that Liu Qing was stupid again.

Deng Xun was overjoyed, applauding and laughing. "Good Sui'er, it's really good, this method, even if it doesn't put the Dou family to death, it will definitely make them restrain themselves, it's really a good move. Sui'er, how do you think the children's songs should be made up here? ”

Deng Sui thought about it, took out a pen, and wrote on a bamboo slip, "The capital is in the state, the Han family is prosperous, the general is corpsed, and blood and tears are in the line." Deng Xun took a look at it, smiled and nodded, "That's very good, I'll handle it early tomorrow morning." ”

After speaking, he not only laughed again, "If there is a woman like this, I am very lucky!" ”
