…

This night, Zhao Mingcheng slept soundly!

It wasn't until almost noon that Zhao Mingcheng woke up leisurely.

Stretching his waist, he just wanted to call someone in to help him wash, and someone came to report to Zhao Mingcheng: "Master, General Cai Yicai, the Jeju observer, has been waiting for the master in the study for a long time." ”

Don't look at Cai is still only six grades now, and he is still a military attaché, but Cai is still from a good family background, the key is that Cai is still a saint and can talk to Emperor Zhao Ji.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Cai was still waiting for him for a long time, Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly called someone in to help him freshen up briefly, and then went to the study to see Cai Yi.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Zhao Mingcheng saw that Li Qingzhao was entertaining Cai to still look at his collection.

Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly apologized: "I drank a few more drinks with my friends last night, and slept until noon. ”

Cai still smiled and said, "Brother Defu doesn't have to mind, Mrs. Zun entertained me very well." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said with a smile: "Neiko has great respect for Ziyin's poetry, how can he not entertain Ziyin wholeheartedly?" ”

"By the way, when did Ziyin come to my house?" Zhao Mingcheng asked casually.

When Li Qingzhao on the side heard this, his heart was tight!

No, Cai still said with a smile: "I came yesterday morning." ”

Zhao Mingcheng was stunned and said, "You came here yesterday morning?" ”

Cai still smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Defu just left on the front foot yesterday, and I came on the back foot, but I waited for Brother Defu all day, and Brother Defu didn't come back." ”

Zhao Mingcheng thought that Cai still didn't wait for him yesterday, and came to see him early today, and hurriedly said: "Mingcheng deserves to die." ”

Cai still said: "Brother Defu is serious. ”

Cai still picked up the extension of the "Fast Snow Time Sunny Post" brought yesterday and handed it to Zhao Mingcheng, saying: "I heard that Defu likes to collect gold and stone inscriptions, so I send this post to Brother Defu." ”

Zhao Mingcheng took the "Sunny Post when the Snow is Fast" and looked at it, and was immediately excited, and then regardless of Cai still being present, he held the "Clear Post when the Snow is Fast" and watched, while watching, he admired: "Round and elegant, the meaning is leisurely and leisurely, the taste is unfathomable, it is really a good post!" Good post! ”

Zhao Mingcheng watched it for a long time before putting it down, and then he didn't know if it was because of "Sunny Post When the Snow Was Fast", he entertained Cai Yi very politely.

And Cai still shouted as a Defu brother, and behaved intimately with Zhao Mingcheng.

When Li Qingzhao saw this scene, his psychology was not to mention how greasy it was.

Finally, Li Qingzhao found an opportunity and whispered to Cai Ying: "Can you leave him alone as Brother Defu, I feel that you are very hypocritical." ”

Li Qingzhao's directness made Cai still a little embarrassed.

After this, Cai still began to control himself, trying not to care about Zhao Mingcheng calling Brother Defu.

But in this way, Zhao Mingcheng muttered a little, and he also found a gap to ask Li Qingzhao: "Is there anything I don't have to entertain?" ”

Li Qingzhao is not very good at lying, so he can only show his usual cold arrogance and say: "How do I know, maybe you said something wrong." ”

Zhao Mingcheng felt that this might be the reason, so he said the next words very carefully.

Zhao Mingcheng is still so attentive to Cai, not only because of Cai Ying's current status and being favored by Zhao Ji, but also because Zhao Mingcheng wants to use Cai still as a pedal to contact Cai You, Gao Yu and others.

Not bad.

The Zhao family and the Cai family have some enmity.

Don't forget, from Li Qingzhao's point of view, the Zhao family and the Cai family are still close.

Actually-

Whether it's hatred or kinship.

None of it matters in the eyes of politicians.

Politicians always value only one thing - interests.

With interests, fathers and sons can fall in love with each other, husbands and wives can turn against each other, and in the same way, enemies can also turn hostility into friendship.

And the current situation, after Cai Jing's more than ten or twenty years of cleanup, the old party is obviously weak, and it will not even be described as "lingering".

Under these circumstances, it is normal for some members of the old party to have other thoughts on their minds.

Zhao Mingcheng, who has been silent for more than ten years and finally recovered, is obviously one of them.

Moreover, Cai You is no better than Cai Jing, although Cai You is also a member of the New Party, but Cai You has no discipline at all, and he has no feelings for the New Party, so as long as he is willing to join him, whether it is the new party or the old party, he will accept it.

By the way, it is precisely because of this that Cai You's strength has grown rapidly, and even if he leaves Cai Jing to stand on his own, he has become the leader of a major political group in the Northern Song Dynasty today.

All in all, Zhao Mingcheng did his best to entertain Cai Ying.

And although Cai is still not interested in Zhao Mingcheng, a guy who abandoned the city and fled without integrity, for the sake of Li Qingzhao's face, Cai still thinks of him as a snake.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Cai still said goodbye to Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao didn't say anything, but Zhao Mingcheng insisted that Cai still stay at his house.

Later, Cai could only take Zhao Ji out as a shield, and the matter was stopped.

Zhao Mingcheng kept sending Cai out of the alley before he came back.

After all, the husband and wife have been in the past ten years, and Li Qingzhao can see that Zhao Mingcheng is very happy today.

But—

Zhao Mingcheng's originally smiling face was immediately put away after seeing Li Qingzhao, and then became serious and upright.

Zhao Mingcheng said: "The lady has been busy for a day, she must be tired, rest early, and leave the rest to the next person to do." ”

Li Qingzhao, who had not slept for two days and one night and consumed a lot of physical strength, was indeed very tired and really wanted to rest.

But Li Qingzhao did not follow Zhao Mingcheng's advice, but pretended to be calm and said: "Come with me." ”

Zhao Mingcheng, who was already very tired after walking around Cai for most of the day, actually didn't want to accompany Li Qingzhao for a walk, he wanted to see his gold and stone inscriptions, and then go to rest.

But since Li Qingzhao, who rarely takes the initiative to make requests, has already put it forward, Zhao Mingcheng is no longer willing, and he has to accompany him for a while.

After the two walked for a while apart, Li Qingzhao, who had been preparing for a day, finally spoke: "Why are you so afraid of me?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng really didn't expect that the arrogant Li Qingzhao would stab their tacit window paper today.

This made Zhao Mingcheng, who was unprepared, a little flustered!

The good thing is that -

Li Qingzhao did not urge Zhao Mingcheng - today, she gave Zhao Mingcheng enough patience, unlike in the past, she turned around and left without saying a word.

It seems that he feels that today's Li Qingzhao seems to be a little different from the Li Qingzhao of the past, Zhao Mingcheng hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's ...... Esteemed. ”

"Respect?" Li Qingzhao seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.

Li Qingzhao, who was outspoken, said bluntly: "Isn't it a huge irony to use the word respect between father and wife to describe it? ”

Zhao Mingcheng was silent for a long time before he said: "I don't want to be like this, but you are better than me everywhere, I go out to socialize with people, and the first sentence that others introduce me is always "This is the Xianggong of Yi'an Jushi", I am not a person who does not learn and do nothing, I am familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, I have also been admitted to the Jinshi, and I am also good at poetry and songs, but because I married you, everything I have has been illuminated by your brilliance. ”

Zhao Mingcheng has also been holding back his words all these years, and now that he has opened this chatterbox, he simply said it happily.

Therefore, after a pause, Zhao Mingcheng continued: "I am not a person who easily admits defeat, in order to surpass you, I have studied hard and worked hard to write poems and lyrics. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Mingcheng looked at Li Qingzhao, his face was full of helplessness, and he said: "But the harder I work, the more I can find out how big the gap is between me and you. ”

Zhao Mingcheng looked directly at Li Qingzhao with clear eyes, and said: "I really respect you, I don't know how great you are better than me who has lived with you for more than ten years, you are so amazing that I am a little ashamed of myself, so that I dare not have any wrong thoughts about you." ”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled a little bitterly and said: "I like to collect gold and stone inscriptions, but the person who really made me give up all my strength to collect gold and stone inscriptions is you, because I know that I can't surpass you in other aspects, so I took the painstaking effort to collect gold and stone inscriptions, and I am ready to make achievements in this regard." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said helplessly: "I don't want future generations to be like today's people, as soon as I am mentioned, they will say that I am the father-in-law of Yi'an Jushi." ”

Zhao Mingcheng didn't say it, Li Qingzhao really didn't know that the psychological pressure she caused to Zhao Mingcheng was so great.

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but reflect on herself: "It turns out that not all the problems are on him. ”

Zhao Mingcheng took a deep breath and said, "Say it, it's much better, you don't know, I have actually hidden these words in my heart for many years, and I have never dared to tell you." ”

may be because of guilt, or it may be because of Zhao Mingcheng's words, Li Qingzhao no longer resents Zhao Mingcheng.

After being silent for a while, Li Qingzhao stopped, and then asked Zhao Mingcheng: "Do you regret marrying me?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng listened to the words and was silent for a long time before he said: "It's late, you're tired, I'm tired, I've said enough today, what else to say, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Li Qingzhao is so smart, how could he not have imagined that Zhao Mingcheng did not deny it, but admitted it in disguise.

This made Li Qingzhao a little aggrieved - she didn't expect that Zhao Mingcheng, who didn't want to think about tea and food for her and went to her house to ask for a kiss, really regretted marrying her.

This also made Li Qingzhao reflect a little: "In this marriage between me and him, he is certainly wrong, I am not all right, I don't care too much about his feelings and too much self, I will still get along with Cai in the future, and I can't do it like this anymore." ”

This made Li Qingzhao a little relieved, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's the best, you regret it, I regret it, it's time to end this wrong marriage." ”

After calming down, Li Qingzhao looked at Zhao Mingcheng and said calmly: "Zhao Mingcheng, let's leave." ”
