"The Royal Pet Doctor" was published and listed (the publication name is "And Give the Year to the World"), and you should place an order on the Internet if you want to collect it......

------Off topic------

"Bathe and change clothes for the main palace."

The ink was stained, the jade belt was slightly messy, and the whole person was embarrassed from head to toe. Taking a breath, he turned his eyes sideways, glanced at He Cheng'an, who was holding his cheeks and calling on the side, and frowned again.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he couldn't help but look at himself.

Now that she sent someone to invite, even if he wanted to endure it, he couldn't help the unprovoked excitement in his heart. Unable to eat any more, he got up and went out.

These days, for Xia Tingde's case, Zhao Mianze is anxious, and he has not done a good job of appointing her as the princess, and he is in a stalemate with the emperor, and it is a little difficult to see her.

Jiao Yu shook her head, "She only said that there is something important to discuss." ”

"Did she say anything?"

Zhao Mianze's eyes jumped, and the hand holding the dishes and chopsticks shook slightly. Seeing that Jiao Yu wanted to laugh and held back a smile in his eyes, he coughed lightly, suppressed the impulsive childlike feelings in his heart, and turned his face with a straight face.

"Your Highness, Miss Seventh is invited."

Jiao Yu's lips twitched one ~ one ~ this ~ read ~ novel ybdu, pulled him up, didn't talk to him, walked straight to Zhao Mianze with a calm face, and said in a low voice.

"Oh hey, my lord......"

He Chengan retreated aggrievedly, and was about to go out, but his luck was too bad, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was hit by Jiao Yu, who hurriedly pushed the door in, and the whole person threw himself forward, falling like a dog eating, and his teeth were sore.

"Yes, yes, the minion will get out, this will get out."

"Do you think the East Palace is a green building? Sing a tune, get out! ”

He Chengan originally wanted to please him, but before he finished his sentence, Zhao Mianze raised his eyebrows and almost lifted the food on his head.

"Master, the slave will find you a girl and sing a little song......"

Probably because of the writing and the breath, Zhao Mianze's emotions calmed down, and without He Chengan's careful persuasion, he sat down by himself and picked up the bowl, but he still kept his head and didn't say a word.

He Chengan presented the freshly prepared wine and food on the stove for the third time.

An hour later.

The emperor is forcing him, the ministers are also forcing him, seeing that he is falling into this horn, most people are standing by, and it is normal for him to be anxious.

He Chengan knew that it was powerful, and he knew that he was not happy, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He has not officially ascended the throne yet, and Akari is under one person and above ten thousand. But this one person alone is enough to counterbalance his behavior.

However, who wouldn't see that this is a bargaining chip for the emperor to blackmail the emperor's grandson?! Therefore, the situation between the ancestors and grandchildren, which was originally the same, has become delicate, and the ministers are all ghosts and grasses who act according to their faces, and they know how to take advantage of the advantages and avoid the disadvantages.

In order to establish the matter of the concubine, the imperial grandson and the emperor have quarreled. The emperor did not agree to Zhao Mianze's request to appoint Xia Chu as his concubine. But in order to maintain the relationship between his ancestors and grandchildren, he did not explicitly refuse, but only promised to consider it, so that he must take into account the views and influence of the ministers in the court, which is the way to be a king.

sighed heavily, He Chengan's head was big.

"Hey!"

"Don't eat. Serve it down. ”

Seeing him like this, He Chengan was also anxious.

"Master, how about you take a bite?"

Zhao Mianze got the report and was so angry that he was furious in the East Palace. He didn't eat dinner, and he was alone in the study, writing with a rustling of pen and ink and paper, venting his anger.

"Don't do that!"

Withhold a year's salary, and twenty spankings will be over?

But because Xia Wenqiu bit her to death and the assassination was all done by her, Xia Tingde didn't know it in advance. And between Cao Zhixing himself and Ding'an Hou, there was a festival, Xia Tingde went to the court for seven days, because of unbearable heartache, the old injury recurred, and "fainted" for five days. In the end, he was stunned and came up with an absurd result -- Wei Guogong was the first to supervise and cover up the last, and he was fined one year and punished with 20 rods.

Of course, they are all smart people, and they will not fight against Zhao Mianze in person. The case was tried for a total of seven days, and the investigation and presentation of evidence were the same, and the official writing on the file was beautifully written.

These two were originally friends with Xia Tingde, and they had some shady "contacts" in private. If her daughter can be in the middle palace in the future, she can still fight, but now that the psychology of "lips and teeth are cold", the complete collapse of the Xia family is not beneficial to themselves, and they have become a little swaying in the trial of the case.

As a result, the outcome of the entire case was decided by Lu Huaming and Ding Keji.

In all dynasties, no matter whether it is a big or small case, it has never paid attention to the word "reason", but the word "love". Truth and justice, that is a restriction set up for the common people, has nothing to do with these people.

In this way, the presiding judge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who temporarily replaced Xia Tingde's case became the left deputy Du Yushi Han Kaicheng. He is a soft egg, in front of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing, he is already in a lower official position, coupled with such a situation, how can he speak?

Because this speaker was arranged by himself.

Zhao Mianze naturally played accurately.

On the second day of the trial, a spokesman of the Metropolitan Procuratorate wrote to Zhao Mianze to impeach Xia Chang for participating in the Wei Guogong case, saying that he and Xia Tingde were father and son and should be recused.

The left capital Yushi returned home, and the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was the eldest son of Xia Tingde - Xia Chang, the right capital Yushi.

can know that this guy is cunning, but his reasons are sufficient, and people nowadays regard "filial piety" as the greatest, and Zhao Mianze has to play it.

Everyone knows that Qu Liang is an old fox rolling in officialdom, extremely shrewd, the old emperor's attitude towards this matter is ambiguous, and the relationship between the emperor and the emperor's grandson is complicated and microseconds, and it is not clear who will be the emperor and who will be the king in the future, of course he does not want to participate in the bloody storm of the court struggle.

On the one hand, the facts of the case are unclear, and on the other hand, the old emperor's attitude is ambiguous. On the first day of the trial, Qu Liangcai, the imperial historian of the left capital, who had ascended to the throne since the seclusion of Zhao Xi, the king of Ning, asked to return to his hometown in Shunde Mansion on the grounds that his mother was dead and returned to his hometown.

No one wants to do the wedding dress for them.

Among Zhao Mianze's side wives, Lu Xiu is the daughter of Lu Huaming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Ding Wanrou is the daughter of Ding Keji, the secretary of Dali Temple. This complex relationship is already sensitive, and it stands to reason that the fall of the Xia clan is the opportunity for them to take the position, and they should break down the Xia clan in one go. But just as Xia Chuqi expected in advance, because Zhao Mianze, in order to seize the opportunity, took the first step to ask for an order in front of Emperor Hongtai to canonize her as the concubine of the East Palace, which naturally caused them to have no regrets and an emotional backlash.

The trial of the case of Xia Tingde, the Duke of Wei, who was of great concern to the entire Jingshi from the court to the common people, finally began. The so-called three law divisions will be tried, and the three presiding judges are the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Dali Siqing and the Zuodu Imperial Envoy.

The seventh day of the third month of the twenty-seventh year of Hongtai.

The battle between him and Shatinde for reckoning has finally begun.

The daily trivialities of a woman in the East Palace are naturally too small for the prince of a dynasty. Although Zhao Mianze has affection for Xia Wenqiu, because of these things, he is also a lot of anger towards her, and he is flawless to take care of her life at this time.

Especially in the autumn of Zeyuan, I heard that Zhao Mianze had asked for Xia Chu to be appointed as the princess, so angry that she threw things down, and buried her head in bed and cried for a whole day.

It's a pity that her little moon is not finished, and she can't even get a packet of brown sugar. Zhao Mianze never came to the door, she couldn't see it if she wanted to, so she had to endure all the hardships.

It is a common thing for trees to fall and scatter. Because Xia Tingde is being interrogated by the Three Law Divisions, she has to end up like this, the people of the palace have always worshiped high and low, although Zhao Mianze did not say that he wanted to reduce his daily use when he imprisoned her, but almost invariably, some people who have seen her unsatisfactory over the years are eager to step on her to death at this time.

From that day on, Xia Wenqiu was confined in the East Palace Zeqiu Courtyard. In addition to a hug qin in the courtyard, there were no other maids waiting, and she had been standing in the East Palace for several years, and the momentum of the Wei Guogong family finally collapsed.

But it doesn't end there.

A storm seems to have ended with the victory of the seventh day of the summer month.

……

……

"That's different. I can use him, but I can't use you. ”

The question was sharp, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What about Zhao Mianze? Can you do it? ”

Xia Chuqi was stunned in his heart, raised his head, and a shallow smile flashed under his eyes, "Metropolitan Governor, I am not a pedantic person like Zhao Shijiu. If I can, I can. It's just a pity that I really can't do it. ”

"Why don't you be my woman? How do I teach you how to get used to it? ”

Seeing that she didn't belong, the smile on the corner of Dongfang Qingxuan's lips was pulled away, as if it was a joke, with some mockery.

From now on, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for anyone in this world to let her change such a habit.

For example, she is used to Zhao Nineteen, and she is also used to missing Zhao Nineteen.

"There are some habits that are difficult to change."

"How easy is it to get used to?" Xia Chuqi glanced at him, thinking of the days when Zhao Shijiu was away, his heart tensed, and his thoughts jumped away unconsciously.

"Get used to it, just get used to it."

With a sigh, Dongfang Qingxuan smiled, "I don't have anything inconvenient. Raising his hand to take the teacup, he took a sip gently, and in the white mist light of the morning, his beautiful eyes seemed to be dyed with a layer of smoke, and his smile was also relaxed.

"Ahem!" Xia Chuqi touched his nose, "That's it...... Creak...... Rat's meaning. Figuratively, figuratively. ”

"Mice?"

"Can't you say that?" Xia Chuqi pursed the corners of his lips and glared at him seriously, "It can make up for some functional deficiencies and make things more convenient for you." The most important thing is that you can contribute to Dayan's medical treatment and act as a guinea pig? ”

"No need, what is fake is fake, what is the use of putting it on the body if it is lifeless?"

As soon as his eyebrows raised, Dongfang Qingxuan sighed, and his soft and warm voice floated in the room, and he couldn't hear half of his sad emotions.

"Nonsense, isn't it? We're two iron buddies, of course I care about you. I thought about it, although the technology is not mature, but maybe I can give it a try. Doctor Sun is also very interested in this plan, and we will definitely think of a way. ”

Seeing him like this, Xia Chuqi didn't feel good in his heart. But for a person with a disability, she must not show sympathy, let alone show the slightest abnormality, she knows this very well.

"You care about me?"

Dongfang Qingxuan was silent, and then understood what she meant. But he seemed to be a little taboo to show the stump in front of the person, and reflexively shrunk into his sleeve, not raising it, but looking at her with a smile.

"Prosthetics?"

"The wounds are all healed now, right? I've been discussing with Dr. Sun for the past few days how to make the most perfect prosthetic for you......"

Thinking about it, she retracted her thoughts and smiled casually, her gaze falling on his left hand, which had been hanging from the table, and her tone was as soft as possible.

But everyone has secrets, just like herself, there are also some secrets that no one dares to say more than Zhao Shijiu. Now that she is tempting him like this, he is unwilling to confess to her, so she naturally doesn't want to ask too much.

In her eyes, Dongfang Qingxuan has always been both good and evil, neither good nor bad. She couldn't guess his way, it seemed that he could eat well in front of people from all over the world, and even the old emperor treated him kindly, judging from his behavior, she really didn't know who he was.

Xia Chuqi smiled and was silent for a long time.

"No one else can help me."

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes darkened, and then he chuckled.

"But in this case, the forces will affect you. Even ruining your layout over the years, isn't it? Governor, you want to help me, I always want to ask you, is there anything I can do to help you? ”

Bumped into his pale amber eyes that were not as good as ordinary people, Xia Chuqi smiled slightly, and his heart softened into a ball of cotton.

"You...... Got it in mind? He hesitated, "You know, if you don't want to, this palace won't be able to trap you." As long as you say a word, I can take you away in no time. ”

Xia Chuqi smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait." ”

"He said he'd give it a try." accidentally became the "middleman" between the two of them again, and the corners of Dongfang Qingxuan's lips had a slightly complicated astringency, "He also said that he will not give up whether it succeeds or not, please be patient." ”

"It is not easy for him to convince the emperor."

smiled without a trace, Xia Chuqi's expression couldn't tell whether it was joy or happiness, or, to her, it was like it was just someone else's business.

Zhao Mianze must have also seen Emperor Hong Tai's attitude towards her. If he doesn't do this this time this time, the old emperor will definitely take the lead and give him a room for his favorite wife, and then Zhao Mianze will be passive.

Xia Chuqi knew what he meant.

After a pause, he saw that Xia Chuqi was silent, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, "He said that he would respect your meaning and would not force you." But the opportunity must not be lost, and it may not be easy to drag it out. ”

"Yes." Dongfang Qingxuan came back to his senses and smiled enchantingly, "After the court this morning, he is going to ask His Majesty for advice." I plan to use the marriage contract that you two had before to ask Your Majesty to officially canonize you as the princess. ”

The smart and wise Metropolitan Governor, it is rare to be choked like this, and he was stunned for a moment, and the cute expression of that moment amused Xia Chuqi, "Am I not right?" ”

Xia Chuqi let out a "poof" and smiled from ear to ear, "What does this have to do with not knowing him?" If he agrees to your suggestion, how can you say that you are happy? ”

With a half-sarcastic "oh", Dongfang Qingxuan was secretly surprised, "Can't you see, you know him so well?" ”

Xia Chuqi smiled lowly, "He must not have agreed." ”

I answered him the same way! Know the pros and cons. ”

Now, seeing her smiling and talking to herself like this, the tense part of my heart suddenly let go. With a slight smile, a trace of water waves floated on his eyes, and the indescribable ripples were so beautiful that he couldn't help but move.

She has always spoken straightforwardly, in the previous paragraph, because of the "embarrassment" between each other on the night in Yinshan, she rarely teased him like this anymore, in Dongfang Qingxuan's opinion, it was she who pushed him away.

"No matter how smart I am, you don't have to look at me like that, do you? Don't know how good-looking you look? Is this about hooking up with people? ”

Being stared at too closely by him, Xia Chuqi touched his face.

Looking at her eyes, he has never been able to understand this woman, but in a short period of time, he only fell off the cliff once, how could he change from an ignorant and simple official lady who was almost stupid to such a delicate and clear woman, who is not only good at grasping people's hearts, but also able to analyze the powerful relationship and pattern of major affairs in the court.

Very simple four words, Dongfang Qingxuan laughed.

"You're smart."

"Second, over the years, Xia Tingde has had many henchmen in the DPRK and China, and they are intertwined, so he has to dig them out thoroughly, and to avoid turmoil in the DPRK and China, he had better rely on those old ministers. Now that there is no princess, which of the side ladies in the East Palace doesn't want to climb up? And behind them, they are all prosperous family forces. Zhao Mianze originally admitted them to the East Palace, I am afraid that he also had this intention. Now is the time to follow the trend, and if he gives me this position, he will become a tiger and provoke the wrath of the people. ”

"First, the emperor doesn't like me, and he is obviously offending the old emperor by doing this. At a time when the relationship is deadlocked and the status is unstable, it is clear that he is asking for hardship. ”

Xia Chuqi bent his lips, took the fragrant teapot, filled him with a cup of tea, motioned for him to drink, and then said, "Two aspects." ”

"Why?"

Dongfang Qingxuan was not surprised by her agility and intelligence, but she couldn't take her eyes off her crystal eyes for a while, and she looked at her for a long time before she came out quietly.

"Zhao Mianze should know very well that if he insists on making me the concubine at this time, it is not a wise choice."

Although he smiled, he didn't have the mood to laugh, Xia Chuqi was quiet for a moment before he restrained his expression and looked at him seriously.

At the intersection of her gaze in space, Dongfang Qingxuan's eyebrows were vivid, and his smile was like a flower, "Now that the position of the emperor's grandson is vacant, that is to say, the position of the future queen is vacant, a great opportunity, I think you won't give up easily, right?" And if you don't want it, others will rush to ask for it. Wait for others to take the lead, but it won't be your turn? ”

Xia Chuqi asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"What do you think?"

Dongfang Qingxuan ignored her ridicule and only asked.

"If it's a good mouth, why are you delaying until now?" Pursing his lips casually, Xia Chuqi raised his lips and smiled, "Besides, didn't you tell me that Xia Chu in the past always had the cheekiness to ask you to be a lobbyist and get close to Zhao Mianze?" Wouldn't it make sense for him to come to you now? The big matchmaker? ”

"Huh?" He wondered, "How did you guess?" ”

At the beginning of the summer, the corners of his lips smiled. "Guessed."

"I'm here to be a lobbyist."

After half a cup of tea, Dongfang Qingxuan observed her constant yawning, and finally sighed lowly.

Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes and stopped asking him what he said. The two of them talked incospiously as if they were really fine, and the atmosphere was very harmonious amid the intimate "cooing" of the big horse and the ponny.

“……”

"The talent has just sat down, and the tea has not been drunk, so you have to pick up someone?"

"I haven't slept all night, my brain is muddy, so it's better for you to take advantage of it. Governor, if you have something to say, I'll catch up on sleep later, I can't hold it anymore. ”

Xia Chuqi yawned, not caring at all.

Dongfang Qingxuan took a long breath, and finally couldn't hold it back, "Miss Seven, you are the sister of the pigeon, I am their father, so who am I?" ”

“……”

"See, your fathers are here. Say one. Welcome, welcome, warm welcome. ”

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyebrows jumped fiercely and did not answer. Xia Chuqi squeezed his eyes and went to tease the pony again.

“……”

Glancing at him, he reached over and tapped the birdcage, teasing the pony on the damp morning breeze, chuckling softly, "Pony, big pony, is my sister right?" ”

“……”

"Go! Are you a flower or a grass? Aren't you human? ”

The corners of Dongfang Qingxuan's lips curled, "Does Miss Seven know that she is responsible for messing with flowers and grass?" ”

Xia Chuqi teased him, "Most of the governors are more fragrant." ”

"The tea is fragrant."

Dongfang Qingxuan held the tea cup, took a sip elegantly, raised her eyelids, and swept her face carelessly.

In this situation, tasting the scenery and tea, she suddenly felt that there was indeed a rare leisure today.

The morning light outside the flower window with a faint morning mist, reflected on the curtain of tulle, faintly revealing a touch of the silhouette of a plantain, oblique light inside, lined with the oriental Qingxuan's fair and soft handsome face, very good-looking.

Not as elegant as him, Xia Chuqi sat cross-legged without any image, looking at the birdcages of the big horse and the pony on the edge of the flower window, and squinted suddenly.

The phoenix's eyes narrowed, but he didn't answer.

"It's okay, if it weren't as interesting as them, I'd be boring today."

Dongfang Qingxuan also saw it, and said, "You people here are very interesting." ”

Xia Chuqi pursed his mouth, and he also laughed.

He walked over and pushed the two of them away, and the door shut.

Qinglan smiled and shook her head.

Another plum, a few days ago, was still saying that she wanted to be Zhao Shijiu's roommate, and when she saw Dongfang Qingxuan, her round eyes were about to be unable to take it back.

A Zheng Erbao was full of scrutiny, and his face was full of distrust. It seems that he is afraid that the handsome Metropolitan Governor of the East has deceived his princess.

At the door, two people probed their brains.

Dongfang Qingxuan thanked him politely, and Qinglan turned around with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Lord Dongfang, please use tea."

After returning to Beijing, the two of them have never had such an opportunity to sit down and say a few words. A small kang table with rosewood was placed in front of the flower window, and Qinglan thoughtfully brewed a pot of tea with the fragrance of jasmine, and washed and ironed the tea set embedded with agate and placed it in front of the two of them one by one.

"The environment is good, and it really looks like a favored one."

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes flashed with a smile, and with one hand on his shoulder, he walked in elegantly with his head held high.

"Governor, please please."

Standing sideways by the door, she leaned over and made a "please" gesture, smiling with her eyebrows, and no longer sat on the steps, crying like a child.

With a shock in his heart, Xia Chuqi glanced at him and turned around.

The smile on the corner of Dongfang Qingxuan's lips widened, "Don't worry, I'm here by order." Besides, whether it is in the melon field or under the plum, this seat will stand in the right position for itself. ”

Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows and laughed, "The melon field is under the plum." ”

"This seat is all here, Miss Seven won't invite me in to sit down and talk?"

Seeing that her tone was much more relaxed, Dongfang Qingxuan Langyue Shuxing's eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled and pointed to the vermilion lacquer gate of the Chuci Hall behind her.

"The Metropolitan Governor, your nobles are busy, and you won't go to my Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, so what's the matter?"

Holding the steps with both hands, she got up slowly under the support of Qing Lan, not caring about the gorgeous clothes she was wearing, she patted her buttocks and the dust on her body loudly, and no longer had half of the arrogant and detached appearance in the Yuanlin Hall, she glanced at it with a horizontal eyebrow, and finally returned to a normal person.

"Think beautifully, you!"

"Poof", Xia Chuqi burst into tears and laughed.

"It's better to be dead than dead." He raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "The embroidered spring knife in this seat is sharp and tight. With just one knife, there is no pain, and there is no hard work fee. ”

"What?" The seventh day of the summer is inexplicable.

"Do you want this seat to help?"

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes jumped slightly, looking at the dampness in her eyes that had not yet been wiped out, she took a few steps forward, pressed her hand on the handle of the embroidered spring knife, and a strange smile rose at the corner of her lips.

In a word, with a thick nasal voice, she said extremely aggrieved.

"Where does my half-hung living dead come from?"

Xia Chuqi is not a person who likes to show weakness in front of others, but the gloom when he missed Zhao Nineteen has not been eliminated, and the other party is Dongfang Qingxuan, a friend who has occasionally penetrated into her life in the past two years or so, and watched her come step by step, it is inevitable that she will be weak.
