"I don't have anything good, every day is to serve people, my life is around Your Majesty, sometimes the ministers in the court say that Your Majesty is very annoyed, I am finished, Your Majesty will be particularly difficult to serve, I am afraid that I will not serve Your Majesty well, that is going to lose my head, I serve my father and mother are not so concerned, but Your Majesty is in a good mood to serve, and the endless meals and tea pastries will be rewarded to the next person to eat, hehe, Your Majesty's reward is very delicious."

Zhou Zizhen rubbed Xiao Tianyu's hair, "I heard that Xiao Tianyu's temper is uncertain, even his concubine can be driven away, I didn't find out where that concubine offended him, maybe he was wronged!" You went to serve Xiao Tianyu, it really hurt you. ”

Xiao Tianyu was speechless, is her image so bad? Xiao Tianyu refuted for herself: "No, Concubine Hui was planning a coup d'état with the national teacher, and His Majesty couldn't bear to kill her, so he gave her a letter of resignation and sent her home." And Your Majesty is not so difficult to serve, you are not allowed to say that about her. ”

Zhou Zizhen felt a little sour inexplicably, "Cao Qing, what's good about serving people, why don't I tell Xiao Tianyu, let you go back with me to defend the country, you see what you have planned, I will help you." ”

Xiao Tianyu: ......

"No need, I think it's fine now, and Your Majesty doesn't lose his temper every day, I'm leaving with you, and I don't know what to do for myself." Xiao Tianyu declined.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: No One Will Save You If You Cut Your Throat

Zhou Zizhen sighed: "You can go to do a small business, or you can find someone to marry, and I can introduce you." ”

When it comes to marrying Xiao Tianyu's scalp is numb, there are two concubines in the palace, and Xiao Hanmo is eyeing her outside the palace, whether she is marrying or marrying a wife, she is not interested.

"No, no, no, I really think it's good now, you are the prince, the people you know are all dragons and phoenixes among people, I married a concubine at most, or even just a roommate, sharing a man with a group of women, and losing her husband's favor after old age and decay, will be eaten by women in the backyard."

Zhou Zizhen felt that Xiao Tianyu was extremely cute, why didn't he find out before that "was eaten?" That's an interesting description, so you can't always be alone, right? Still is...... Xiao Tianyu asked you for it?! ”

What a word! Xiao Tianyu's face turned red, "No, absolutely nothing!" What do you want?! ”

"I want to ask Xiao Tianyu for you, I am definitely better than Xiao Tianyu, it will be more comfortable for you to stay by my side and serve." Zhou Zizhen knocked Cao Qing (Xiao Tianyu) on the wall.

Xiao Tianyu pushed Zhou Zizhen away, "Whatever you want, Your Majesty won't give me to you anyway, if you don't believe it, just try." ”

Xiao Tianyu found that Zhou Zizhen, who couldn't push on him, couldn't push it, Xiao Tianyu was anxious, "You get up, otherwise I will call someone." ”

Zhou Zi really teased: "Then if you call it, if you break your throat, no one will come to save you." ”

"Shen Xingzhou covered it." Xiao Tianyu screamed, and before he could finish shouting, Xiao Tianyu was covered in his mouth.

But it was too late, Shen Xingzhou carried a sword to split Zhou Zizhen, Zhou Zizhen saw that Shen Xingzhou really dared to cut him, so he could only let go of Xiao Tianyu and take a few steps back to avoid the attack.

Zhou Zizhen looked at Shen Xingzhou's fierce expression, and complained in his heart, do you need to show this kind of expression? It's like insulting your wife.

I have to say, the truth.

"Shen Xingzhou, can't your light function take me to tread water?" Xiao Tianyu didn't want to stay any longer.

Shen Xingzhou put away his sword, "It's okay for me to be alone, but it's not okay to bring you." ”

"Don't don't, it's only been a long time since you played, don't go! I was wrong, I was wrong. Zhou Zizhen hurriedly confessed, not wanting Xiao Tianyu to leave.

Xiao Tianyu had Shen Xingzhou by his side, and the whole person was also crazy, and his tone dragged a lot, "Hmph, I'm going to leave now, you tell the boatman to drive the boat back to the shore, otherwise I will jump into the lake and swim, and I have to swim back." ”

Zhou Zizhen couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't jump into the lake, it's hard for you to come out to play, you still have to serve people when you go back, what's good, relax, I promise not to move you, I swear." ”

Xiao Tianyu looked at Zhou Zizhen vigilantly, "Then you swear quickly, the more poisonous the better." ”

Zhou Zizhen sneered, feeling as if he was a little disrespectful to laugh now, which made him a little uncomfortable, "Okay, okay, I swear as my identity as the prince of the country, if I go to tease Cao Qing again today, then I will lose the identity of the prince of the country, five thunders will hit the top, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it." ”

The ancients were very heavy on oaths, Xiao Tianyu relaxed, of course, she didn't value oaths, if she was allowed to swear, no matter how poisonous the oath was, she would not keep it.

In the next journey, Zhou Zizhen really didn't do anything excessive, one was because he swore an oath, and the other was because Shen Xingzhou was guarding the side, his hand was on the hilt of the sword, and he immediately drew his sword as soon as something was wrong.

In the evening, Zhou Zizhen returned to the post station, lay on the bed tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep, dreaming of swimming in the lake with Xiao Tianyu today.

The next day, the palace welcomed three uninvited guests.

Xiao Hanmo took the poem from yesterday's poetry meeting to Xiao Tianyu to see, Zhou Jingrui insisted on coming along, but he couldn't get rid of it, so he could only bring people with him, as for Zhou Zizhen! Xiao Hanmo glanced at him, Xiao Hanmo felt that Zhou Zizhen had been abnormal since yesterday's poetry meeting, and he must be playing some kind of ghost idea, none of the people who defended the country were good, and their hearts were all black.

Xiao Tianyu let Xiao Hanmo in first, "Regent, Wen Xiang nephrite is beside you, why are you still coming to me." ”

Xiao Hanmo's head is full of black lines, does he look so? "This is a poem from yesterday's poetry meeting, bring it to you and take a look, if you like it, you can let him be an official."

Xiao Tianyu put the poem aside, "Can you use it for the official?" I don't like to spend money to support idlers, if you want to be an official, then take the formal way, like this crooked and heretical way, unless it is really the material to be an official, otherwise I will not let them be officials. By the way, how is your relationship with Zhou Jingrui cultivated now? The Ministry of Rites is ready to start negotiations. ”

As soon as Zhou Jingrui was mentioned, Xiao Hanmo couldn't stop feeling disgusted, "No matter how I shirk it, Zhou Jingrui always squeezes around me, she likes me very much, just ask for it from the Ministry of Rites." ”

"That's good, if the negotiations can be successful, you have made a great contribution." Xiao Tianyu said with a smile.

Xiao Hanmo felt that Xiao Tianyu's smile was extremely dazzling, "Okay, don't mention her again." ”

Xiao Tianyu hooked the corners of his mouth, "I heard Gu Yunlong say just now, Zhou Jingrui and Zhou Zizhen are outside, you go first!" Call Zhou Jingrui and Zhou Zizhen to come in, I will meet them in the main hall, and relax for you today. ”

Xiao Hanmo's face softened slightly, "Okay, thank you." ”

Xiao Tianyu turned out the hair crown belt with beaded curtains, the main hall is relatively large, so Zhou Jingrui and Zhou Zizhen will stand far away, and they shouldn't be able to see what she looks like.

Xiao Tianyu cheered herself up, as long as she didn't panic, no one would know that she was Cao Qing.

Zhou Jingrui and Zhou Zizhen walked in, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

"Flat. Give a seat, look at the tea. ”

Xiao Tianyu smiled and said: "Princess, the regent came to see me just now, I can start preparing for your wedding, but the Ministry of Rites is negotiating, and the eldest prince thinks it is better to go." ”

Zhou Zizhen thought about it in his heart, if Zhou Jingrui's dowry was less, maybe this long-distance marriage would be the same as falling into the fire pit, it would be better to cut the flesh, so that Zhou Jingrui could get the respect she deserved, Xiao Tianyu would also believe in the sincerity of Weiguo more, and it would be more convenient to ask Cao Qing to come over. Moreover, Zhou Zizhen felt a little strange, as for what was strange, he couldn't think of it for a while.

Zhou Zizhen gritted his teeth, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weiguo has become a vassal state of the Wind Country, my sister is married to the regent, and the foreign minister wants to ask Your Majesty for Cao Qing, the palace maid of the Weiyang Palace, and the foreign minister wants to marry Cao Qing as the prince's side concubine." Your Majesty, my sister's dowry, Wei Guo intends to give 50,000 horses and 80,000 taels of gold, and from next year, Wei Guo will pay a tribute of 30,000 horses and 500,000 taels of silver to the Wind Country every year. ”

Xiao Tianyu calculated in her heart, this is indeed the most Wei Guo can take out, if she is too little, Wei Guo will not be able to take it out.

It's just that Zhou Zizhen wants Cao Qing, where can Xiao Tianyu change one for him.

Xiao Tianyu lied and did not change his face: "The eldest prince made a mistake, right?" There is no palace maid named Cao Qing in the Weiyang Palace. ”

Zhou Zizhen directly exposed Xiao Tianyu's lies, "Before, above the court, Your Majesty also said that you will send that palace maid out of the palace, why, all of a sudden, you said that there is no palace maid in Weiyang Palace, and Your Majesty's memory is not very good!" ”

Xiao Tianyu's old face flushed, she really forgot "that...... Forget it, anyway, no matter what you say, Cao Qing won't give it to you, you can lower the dowry and give 10,000 taels of silver! You are not rich in defending the country, so I will not embarrass you. ”

If it was put before, Zhou Zizhen would definitely agree, a palace maid is worth 10,000 taels of silver, and this wave of trading is not a loss, but now, Zhou Zizhen is unwilling, that is the bottom line that his father opened for him, and he showed the bottom line as soon as he came up, undoubtedly wanting Xiao Tianyu to talk better.

"Your Majesty, I'd rather give an extra 100,000 taels of silver, and I also want Cao Qing, please fulfill the two of us."

Xiao Tianyu propped his chin, "I won't give it to you, Cao Qing doesn't like you, how can you come to the word 'fulfillment'." Cao Qing has been pampered by me, and I like it very tightly, you can defend the country with 50,000 horses and 70,000 taels of gold, if the country is not willing, then I will take these things in person. ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Zizhen wanted to say more.

Zhou Jingrui saluted, "Your Majesty, I will go to persuade my brother, and please give me some time." ”

Xiao Tianyu nodded, and Zhou Jingrui simply pulled Zhou Zizhen away.

Out of the imperial study, Zhou Zizhen said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, why didn't you let me continue just now!" ”

Zhou Jingrui said mischievously: "Brother, are you stupid!" Xiao Tianyu doesn't let go, you can persuade Cao Qing to let her elope with you, so that you can not only hug the beauty, but also save 10,000 taels of silver, Xiao Tianyu was tricked, he will definitely not make a big deal about it, I will be the princess regent by then, Xiao Tianyu will not dare to touch me. ”

There was a trace of worry between Zhou Jingrui's eyebrows, "Brother, in fact, I can feel that Xiao Hanmo doesn't seem to like me, he should like Cao Qing, even if you are for me, you have to take Cao Qing away, Cao Qing stays in the capital, and I am always unsteady in my heart." ”

Zhou Zizhen's IQ returned to its original place, thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, "Okay!" Let's go, let's go and pull a palace maid to ask. ”

A lucky palace maid was stopped by them, "The slave maid has seen the eldest prince and the princess." ”
