At the ancestor worship ceremony, the sky suddenly changed, the vision of thunder and lightning came quickly, and went quickly, one moment there was lightning and thunder to cover the rain, the next moment it died down, the dark clouds dispersed, and the people present did not dissipate, and the sun showed its head again.

This short-term abnormality did not affect the progress of the ceremony, but a gust of wind blew the people were cool, the sweat on Yu Shu's face was dry, and the cold on her back was unbearable.

She quietly raised her head to find Xue Rui's figure in the crowd, her eyes moved a few times, and then she met a calm gaze, smiled at him at that time, and held the gossip bronze in her hand to a high place, suggesting that he could still hold it.

Next, after the rituals and prayers were sung, the emperor, who was nearly fifty years old, walked around the Temple of Heaven for another week, performed full rituals, and led a group of courtiers back.

According to Lord Ning's instructions, Yu Shu and the six people didn't have to go back with the car, so they stood where they were and sent off the holy driver.

As soon as the emperor left, their group of people couldn't stand it, Zhan Xueyuan and Cui Yun scrambled to put the bronze utensils in their hands on the ground, dizzy and soft sat on the carpet on the side of the road panting, Yu Shu looked at the people around him with no unusual looks, they should be cleaned up, they should be sorted out, they seemed to be used to seeing the squeamishness of their people, so she sat down with the copper lump in her arms.

Among the six people, only Wen Shaoan was still holding the heavy utensils, standing there stiffly.

"I'm so tired, if I stand a little longer, I'll have to lie down." Sun Junhan panted with his head in his head, and his hand pulled the wide sleeves to make a fan. A vigorous fan in the face.

Another teenager also stuck out his tongue in tiredness and looked up at Wen Shaoan. Said with a dry smile: "Wen Shaoan, what are you still doing standing, don't sit down and rest, don't even have the strength to go back later." ”

Wen Shaoan glanced at him, tilted his head again, and embarrassed the man.

"Oops, get up, get up, get up. How to put the real thing on the ground casually! With a low shout, Lord Wang came out of nowhere, leading several mausoleum guards behind him to hold the boxes, urging them to pick up the bronze utensils with unkind faces. After inspecting them one by one, he turned his head and took them back into the box.

"Okay, a few little Yi masters are busy here and it's over. There's a carriage outside, and I'll have you taken back first. "Lord Wang has been worried for many days, but today I finally let go. I wish I could get these burdens back quickly.

"Your Excellency."

Zhan Xueyuan patted his ass a few times and walked away, and Yu Shu was a few steps behind. When he turned around and saw that Lord Wang was still standing there watching, he turned and walked towards him, gave a salute, and said:

"I've had Lord Lao these days."

After a few days of observation, Yu Shu felt that the official in front of him was a reliable and capable officer, thinking that he didn't know when he would see him again, it was better to leave a friendship.

Lord Wang smiled. "Whatever Yu operator says, it's all the responsibility of the official."

Yu Shu put down his hand and said, "I still want to thank you for taking care of you." I will leave to return to Beijing in the near future, and I have nothing else to do, but I ask Ji to ask for some means, and I exaggerate that I am no worse than the gentlemen in the Great Yi Pavilion. ”

Lord Wang's expression moved, looking at the precocious girl in front of him, and comparing the pampered appearance of the children of the family who were also selected from the Taishi Academy, it was not difficult to see that she had a lot of future prospects, and her mind was also lively, so he nodded, accepted Yu Shu's kindness, stretched out his hand, and took the initiative to send her to the outer circle.

Yu Shu was the last one to sit in the carriage back to Huazhen Garden, even if the few people on the car were impatient, no one dared to squeak and say anything about her, Yu Shu's fierce and strong performance last night still stayed in the minds of several people, and even the two boys were faintly afraid of her, not to mention Zhan and Cui, who didn't even have the strength to speak.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when they returned to the courtyard of Huazhen Garden, several people were very eager to wash off the stinky sweat on their bodies and lie comfortably on the bed to sleep, but unfortunately there was still a group of nobles waiting to serve in this garden, and there was no extra manpower to pay attention to them.

Yu Shu didn't care about what others were doing, when she entered the room, she took off the heavy dress on her body, wore a sweatshirt, wiped her body with the water left in the morning, took out the medicinal oil that He Fangzhi brought to her when she left home from the closet, and sat cross-legged on the bed to smear her arms and calves, so as not to leave sequelae and be sore for a while.

In the afternoon, Yu Shu lay on the bed and snored, but she didn't know that someone was talking about her elsewhere in the garden.

***

Zhu Muzhao waved off the attendants and let the personal guards stay downstairs and go upstairs alone.

Jingchen had already changed out of his robe, and after bathing, he stood at the window refreshed, looking at the scenery in the garden, and there was a touch of melancholy between his sword eyebrows, faintly like mist.

"Jingchen."

A call made him come back to his senses, turned his head to look at Zhu Muzhao who was approaching, and asked, "Has Shibo seen the saint?" ”

Zhu Muzhao nodded and said, "The Holy Lord is very happy to learn that you have found a lifebreaker. ”

After a pause, he said with a pleasant face: "As for the angry words you said to me in the emperor's cave, I just haven't heard it, and you don't mention it again if you face the saint another day." ”

The so-called angry words refer to Jingchen's confession after seeing the life-breaker, revealing his suspicion of Da'an's misfortune, which is somewhat jealous, the emperor may not be angry when he hears it, but he will inevitably be estranged from this nephew.

Jing Chen's face remained unchanged, he was not worried at all that Zhu Muzhao would say that he was not in front of the emperor, compared to these, he was more concerned about the problems he would face next.

Zhu Muzhao didn't notice the worries in his heart, and said to himself: "I have learned that Yu Shu is a lifebreaker, and I want you to spend more time on her, so that she is willing to marry you and become husband and wife." It's just about the secret of Da'an's misfortune, and my fortune, you must not leak it to her, let alone let her know the identity of her lifebreaker, remember. ”

"That's difficult," Jingchen said lightly: "Before that, because of my heart, I broke off with her, and the two of them were strangers, and now I want to cultivate Qin and Jin with her, and I can't tell the truth, it's difficult for her to ignore me." Not to mention agreeing to be married to me. ”

Zhu Muzhao frowned slightly, things had originally progressed to this point. As long as the emperor wishes, no matter whether Yu Shu is willing or not, he must comply, but the current situation is different-

First, a few months ago, Jingchen was plotted on his way to Beijing. Nearly killed.

Second, there was a murder in Taishi Shuyuan not long ago, and an innocent female student died, and the purpose was directed at Jingchen.

All kinds of targeting. It all shows that someone in the dark is trying to prevent Da'an from breaking his life, and his heart can be punished, and the emperor ostensibly handed over the murder of Jingchen to King Ning for investigation. In fact, secret agents were privately sent to investigate, but so far to no avail.

Thankfully, from the other side's point of view. He could completely deduce from the divination - they only knew the existence of the Great Disaster Son and the Broken Person, and how to find the Broken Person. And how to break his life, but I don't know. It is precisely because the identity of the lifebreaker cannot be confirmed that he will be repeatedly tempted and kill the killer.

In this case, if the emperor suddenly points out the marriage to Daozi after worshipping his ancestors, he is clearly telling the other party that there is something greasy here.

In order to protect the thoughtfulness of the lifebreaker. So as not to spoil a big matter, the emperor consulted with him. Not only can they not point to marriage, but they also have to find another "target" to attract the attention of those people in the dark, and then follow the vine to find out all of them.

“”

After thinking for a while, Zhu Muzhao raised his head and said to Jing Chen:

"This life-breaking thing, it's not in a hurry, in short, the person has found it, don't let her be suspicious first, look for a chance to get close to her, Miss Yu I have also seen twice, looking at her face is not a short-sighted person, you just need to lie to her that your life has been broken, you and her friendship is not difficult to release the previous suspicions, besides——"

Speaking of this, he showed a smile on his face and said clearly: "In my opinion, you have a great impression of her, and you have no worries, you might as well take more ways for men and women, so that you can have the best of both worlds and make a good couple, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Hearing this, a suspicious red appeared on Jingchen Qingjun's face, he turned his head sideways, avoided Zhu Muzhao's see-through eyes, looked out the window again, and laughed at himself in a low voice:

"After all, it's a lie to her, what's the good?"

Zhu Muzhao looked at Jingchen's side face, and was in a trance for a moment, as if he had heard the same words twenty years ago, but the words were still in his ears, and things were not people.

After a moment of distraction, he quickly returned to his senses, and said earnestly to the young man with a bumpy fate in front of him:

"If you can't see it, everything is bitter, think about the benefits."

Jingchen was silent, his eyes looked into the distance, he didn't know what he was thinking, Zhu Muzhao no longer persuaded him, and told him something else, and left.

After he left, Jing Chen called in an attendant and instructed:

"Where are the few people selected by the Taishi Book Garden to hold the utensils live in the garden, you go and inquire."

"Yes, the villain will go."

***

Usually after the ancestor worship ceremony, the emperor drives back to the palace, while some nobles will stay for a few days in Huazhen Garden, which is densely forested, and there is a natural enclosure five miles to the west for horse hunting.

Yu Shu had dinner in the evening and was about to pack his bags when he heard a maid outside the door say:

"Miss Yu, there is an adult in the front yard who wants to see you."

Yu Shu wondered if there was something wrong with Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites, but when she arrived at the front yard, she actually saw Xue Rui sitting in the foyer leisurely waiting for her.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Xue Rui pointed to a chair for her to sit down, looked her up and down, and asked, "Have you rested?" ”

"Well, I got some sleep."

"After standing for so long during the day, do your arms and legs hurt?" Xue Rui knew that the weight of those bronzes was not light, and when he looked at her holding it in his hand, the sweat on her head, and her little face was red, it was fake to say that she was not distressed.

Yu Shu kicked his legs, "Not so squeamish." ”

Xue Rui said: "Okay, tomorrow we will go around the mountains and forests and take you to see the surrounding scenery." ”

"Huh? Didn't you say that the saint was going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, and you didn't leave? Yu Shu asked strangely.

Xue Rui told her that after the ancestor worship ceremony every year, with the permission of the emperor, the young nobles would stay.

As soon as Yu Shu heard that he was going to stay with the princes and princesses to play with him, he immediately lost interest.

Xue Rui looked at her with a lack of interest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't go with them, didn't you say that you want to learn to ride a horse, I'll teach you first, so as not to go out to play in the future, you might as well even repair it."
