"Your Majesty went to the White Stone Forest to hunt, and it will be ten days since I went."

In the water pavilion, Miao De sat on the futon, wiped his eyelids and said.

Chen Shou nodded and said in a deep voice, "Gao Huan." ”

"The subordinates are here."

"You have to go to His Majesty every day to say goodbye, and it is best to accompany him to shoot and hunt."

Gao Huan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Hou Ye, driving eagles and dogs, riding horses and hunting, is really a subordinate housekeeping skill." ”

Chen Shou knew that he was talking about his previous broken career, so he pouted and said: "This is nothing to show off, after you go, you must say hello in the morning and evening, treat Your Majesty politely, and do not have the slightest contempt." ”

Gao Huan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Hou Ye, his subordinates will treat our majesty with the same reverence as Hou Ye." ”

Huang Zhen saw that he was hanging on his son, and said dissatisfiedly: "What the Hou Ye sees is all good words, and he must not give people the truth." Nowadays, the whole world is spreading that we are the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the more this is the case, the more we can't give people a chance. ”

"Xiangye can rest assured, Gao Huan is not a person who can't tell the difference."

Chen Shou said with a smile: "You go, remember, surround the white stone forest, and plant more sentry agents." One is not to allow any suspicious person to approach His Majesty; The second is not to let the people in the forest sneak away. ”

"Subordinates receive orders."

Gao Huan stepped down into the water pavilion, Huang Zhen looked at his burly and tall back, and sighed: "This Gao Huan is frivolous, and I always feel that it is not appropriate to do things." ”

Chen Shou smiled at the corner of his mouth, "He looks impetuous and cautious." ”

Chen Shou probably understood Gao Huan's thoughts in his heart, he had no fame, no background, and he could be used by himself, that is, he valued his ability to do dirty work and tiring work, and at critical times, he could instruct him to do something that others were not necessarily willing to do.

Gao Huan himself also understands that he is not stingy with his behavior everywhere, which is a means of self-defilement, and it is also to his own liking.

The little emperor ran to hunt, and Chen Shou also knew the general idea, but he didn't take it to heart.

For example, in later generations, Kangxi raised a few sumo wrestlers and killed Aobai, which will definitely not appear in Daqi.

Although Ao Bai was already autocratic at that time, there were people who opposed him everywhere in the capital, and his qualifications were not high, and he was the lowest in status and seniority among the four auxiliary ministers.

But today's Bianliang is full of people who have been promoted by themselves, and political enemies have killed and killed them, and they can catch up. The rest is equivalent to getting into their own car, and if they fall, their forces will also be liquidated.

It's normal for Zhao Cai to have some thoughts, as an emperor, and a dragon son and grandson of Great Qi, who is willing to be completely manipulated.

What can I do if I change Zhao Cai? Let's not talk about whether there is a more suitable person than him now, and even if there is, after coming to power, it is inevitable that there will be other ideas.

As long as you can control the overall situation, you should have the amount of tolerance for others, let him make trouble, and he can see clearly on the sidelines, and he is worry-free.

It is foolish and naïve to expect that the man sitting on the dragon chair will be completely willing to be controlled, just as he wants all of his men to be faithful.

Cao Cao didn't know that Emperor Xian wanted to swallow himself alive, but Cao Cao never abolished Emperor Xian, just because he had this self-confidence. The entire government and the opposition are my people, what can you do with me.

"Master Hou, the war in Hedong is deadlocked, but Li Xin sent someone to say that he still wants to try to attack Mongolia in the north."

Chen Shou waved his hand directly and said, "The time is not ripe, we won't go crazy with him, in case of failure, you and I will be sinners through the ages." ”

"Li Xin, this person..."Yuan Xiannian wanted to speak and stopped.

Chen Shou snorted coldly, stood up, and said, "It's not early, do you want to stay here for lunch?" ”

"No, Master Xie is kind, we made an appointment to go to Loulan Yexue to eat and drink together."

Chen Shou didn't keep it, and sent away these henchmen, they came to him early in the morning, but it was because the little emperor stayed outside the palace for a long time, which made these ministers a little worried.

The little emperor was hunting in the White Stone Forest, and even Miao De was alarmed, but after these people came to the water pavilion together, they found that Chen Shou was very calm, so they also let go of their hanging hearts.

In Bianliang, as long as the Marquis of Zhongyong is not worried, there will be no accidents, and everyone trusts Chen Shou very much.

It's just that every time danger comes, the Marquis of Zhongyong will be more cautious than his own people.

Miao De also stood up and said, "It's rare to come out and move, I'll go to your house to meet Xiaozhi." ”

Chen Shou walked up to him and whispered in a low voice, Miao De's cloudy eyes lit up, and said, "It's so good, just let them talk more, and the godfather won't go." ”

Chen Shou said with a smile: "It's hard for godfather to come out, and it just so happens that the little emperor is not in the palace now, so it's better to stay in my house for a few more days." ”

"Then forget it, people are old, and they can't sleep in the middle of the night, and they can't change beds."

Chen Shou didn't force him to stay, and said, "Then I'll send my godfather back." ”

"You're busy with you, our family took a few monkeys in the palace to visit the Great Xiangguo Temple, they are all poor dolls who have entered the palace since childhood, and they have never seen anything in the world."

Chen Shou nodded, but still sent them to the gate of the mansion, Miao De got into the carriage, waved lightly from the curtain, and several small chamberlains also hugged their fists and said, "Master Hou, please go back." ”

Chen Shou turned around and returned to the house, and as soon as he arrived in the inner courtyard, he heard a laugh Yan Yan.

Chen Shou was a little hungry and returned to the water pavilion to find that no food had been prepared.

He frowned, stepped out, and saw that Liu Er, who was in charge of today's meal, was not there.

"Liu'er!"

Chen Shou shouted, from the maid's room on the second floor, Tao'er hurried over with her skirt, it could be seen that she hadn't cleaned up yet, she was sleeping and warming the bed last night, Chen Shou played until midnight, and allowed her to rest for a morning today.

It can be seen that Tao'er has just gotten up from the couch, her hair is covered with green silk and draped loosely, and her clothes have not yet been dressed, revealing a white and greasy fragrant shoulder.

The women of the Western Regions are more resistant to frost than the women of the Han family, and in the spring and autumn seasons, they wear very little, but they rarely get sick.

"Master, what do you command?"

"Where's Liu'er?"

Tao'er was speechless, Chen Shou glared at her, Tao'er was frightened, and lowered her head and said: "Xu went to the front yard to listen to the play, and before the maid went to bed, I told her not to forget that my lord had dinner at the house today." ”

Chen Shou shook his head secretly, the maids in this house are all teenage girls, you are used to it, they are really outstanding, there are no rules at all.

Especially in the past few days, Li Lingyue accompanied Su Qiongzhi outside, and there were more and more rules, Chen Shou stroked his stomach and said: "Go to the back kitchen first to get me something to eat, and then call me the derelict one." ”

Tao'er lowered her head and secretly stuck out her tongue, saying in her heart that Liu'er was done this time.

---

After lunch, Chen Shou basked in the sun in the water pavilion, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on his body, reminding people that Meng Chun was about to pass.

This is the last good time, the weather is neither hot nor cold, the air is neither dry nor wet, the breeze is blowing, and the whispers are not wet, which is the benefit of the spring of the year.

Chen Shou covered the scroll in his hand, picked up a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip gently, and looked down at his feet.

The arhat who was sitting by himself was under the couch, tied with two brocade belts, and the other end was tied around two white and slender necks.

Liu Er and Su Li sat at his feet on the left and right, Su Li's face was full of flattering smiles, and Liu Er was so ashamed that her face was flushed.

Chen Shou kicked her angrily and scolded: "You lazy thing, if you dare to run around again, I will keep you and her in the same courtyard, and never use the water pavilion again." ”

Su Li kowtowed, put her face against Chen Shou's calf, and said, "The slave family thanked the master and found a companion for the slave family." ”

Chen Shou touched her cheek and looked at Liu Er threateningly.

Liu Er was frightened, Su Li had seen it before, but it wasn't like this, that small courtyard didn't know how terrible it was, she didn't want to go, and immediately said: "Ye Kai En, this slut is a bad person who assassinated the master, and people are serving the master's personal maid." ”

Chen Shou snorted coldly and said, "I can't even eat, you are embarrassed to say that you are close, I think you are a maid who is leaving." ”

Liu Er knew that her master was the most protective and soft-hearted, and he would not lock himself up in Su Li's courtyard at all, but his face was still full of panic, and he couldn't stop begging for mercy, so in order to cooperate with Chen Shou, he let him get angry.

Chen Shou took a walnut from the case, threw it away, and said with a smile: "You and her are faster than who picks it up, if you win, I will spare you this time, and forget about two whips." If you lose, you'll live with her in the future. ”

Su Li hurriedly climbed forward to pick it up, but Chen Shou secretly stepped on the rope and looked at Chen Shou pitifully in place, which made him laugh.

Liu Er crawled over shyly, picked it up, and then straightened up, Chen Shou whipped a few times, and then got up and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Master, you can spoil others."

Chen Shou snorted: "If you dare to do this in the future, I really won't spare you." ”

"The maid doesn't dare anymore, and in the future, I will be the master's most personal maid, and I will stick to you all day long." Although Liu Er received a few whips, it didn't hurt much, and she said with a sneer.

Chen Shou nodded and said, "Okay, forget it this time, take my dog back." ”

Liu Er responded crisply, and then pulled Su Li's rope and took her out of the water pavilion.

Out of the water pavilion, Su Li stood up and said with a smile: "How can the girl thank me this time?" ”

Liu Er said with a smile: "Last time, the master rewarded a few pieces of good crisp, I have never been willing to eat it, and I will bring it to you later." The two of them held hands and returned to the courtyard, and Liu Er sat for a while, for fear that Chen Shou would blame, so he got up and left.

Su Li sent her to the door and watched Liu Er lock the small door of the yard, leaving her alone.

She even envied Liu Er a little in her heart, at least she had more freedom than herself, but Chen Shou was already very grateful that she could spare her life.

After all, with Chen Shou's status, it is very rare to be assassinated and still leave the life of an assassin.

If it were Wei Yunse and the others, they would have been buried in the ground a long time ago.

Su Li sighed, took off the gaudy and cheesy clothes on her body, changed into plain clothes, and began to clean up the small courtyard.

This is an inconspicuous courtyard in the Chen Mansion, but it has brought Su Li a great sense of security, she no longer has to worry about sleeping in the underground, and a messenger of the Holy Sect will come out of the underground secret passage.

You can stay in your own courtyard every day, sweep the fallen leaves, and a few days ago, I begged Xue Shao to bring a few seeds to me, I don't know if I can plant them alive.

If it is planted, it will not bloom in the summer. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Su Li scooped a spoonful of water from the wooden barrel and walked to the yard to sprinkle it gently.

There was a burst of laughter, and Su Li looked over curiously, it was a few young maids, holding hands and going to the front yard to listen to the play.

Su Li used to run the smash hit Qinglou Painting Boat, and she had never heard any music, but at the moment she was very eager to follow these people to listen to music...

Just thinking about it, there was a movement at the courtyard gate, and Xue Shao walked in slowly with a food box on his shoulder.

"Mom..."

Xue Shao said with a smile: "Today, the kitchen made crispy phoenix feet, I remember my mother's favorite to eat." ”

"Always bring me good food, and I'm fat." Su Li said with a smile.

She stepped forward, took Xue Shao's arm, and on the stone table in the small courtyard with her, opened the food box and put a small plate, and ate together.

Xue Shao saw that there was a shallow strangulation mark on Su Li's neck, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he asked in a low voice, "Master... Did he bully you? ”

Su Li said with a smile: "Liu'er's girl was disobedient, she ran to listen to the play and forgot to prepare food, which made him hungry." He taught Liu Er a lesson and took me to kill chickens and monkeys. ”

Xue Shao hurriedly explained: "Mom, in fact, the master is not bad, he is just... It's just..."

Su Li stroked her hand and said with a smile: "I know, I see that you are in a hurry." He... But it's not bad, at least for you and me, it's a rare tolerance. ”

What Su Li didn't know was that Chen Shou had completely grasped her situation, knew that she was not the mastermind, and her status in the White Lotus Sect was not high, otherwise he would have killed her a long time ago.

Xue Shao was a little stunned, she had seen with her own eyes how Chen Shou rectified Mother Su, and she sometimes had nightmares when she remembered that scene.

Su Li looked at her expression, knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "You think, what we do, it is a great kindness for him to let me go." To tell the truth, the White Lotus Sect is my nightmarish terrifying existence, it was Chen Shou, and it was he who rescued me. You see, although this small courtyard is small and has to be locked, but for me, it is much bigger than the previous Zuiyue Tower... Do you believe it, there is a secret passage under my bed. They would come at any moment, and I would give orders from below, and I would get up every night to receive orders. ”

Xue Shao is young, although he has fallen into the dust because of his family's downfall, but he has suffered anything.

She was terrified when she heard it, if it was herself, she might as well die.

"Mom, why did you get into that... What about the White Lotus Sect? ”

Su Li's eyes became a little sluggish, and said: "I am a descendant of a criminal official, my grandfather is the person of Prince Fufeng, that year the palace changed, our whole family was ordered by the emperor to be beheaded, and it was the people of the White Lotus Sect who saved me." ”

"Why did they save you?"

Su Li shook her head, she didn't understand herself, was it just to raise a little girl and serve the White Lotus Sect when she grew up?

But there are human traffickers everywhere, and it is not as cost-effective as buying one to save a prisoner.

But she didn't know that those high-ranking White Lotus Sect Masters also had the same fate as her.
