A "lady" called me a little red-faced, and I was moved for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Beware of the vegetables, don't burn!" ”

Mo Ziwu came back to his senses and hurriedly turned over the vegetables, and I hurriedly scooped up a little water and added it to the pot, but I didn't burn the vegetables. Mo Zi and I looked at each other, recalling that Fang Cai's hands were in a hurry, angry and funny, speechless for a while, but he couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing.

I have not been good since I was a child, and my master said that I am not a material for learning martial arts, and he didn't teach me very hard, and the master has to go out of the mountain every few months, so I don't have much time to teach me, and my martial arts are only sparse and ordinary so far. I can learn and understand everything else, but I can't learn martial arts, and without the guidance of my master, I can't improve at all.

Now that there is such a person with such superb martial arts and swordsmanship around me, how can I waste it in vain, Mo Ziwu only went through a few moves with me and found out my bottom, and said to me: "Your foundation is not stable, and your understanding is not high, you can't improve it in a short period of time, you need to practice hard for ten years to improve." ”

I was greatly disappointed, and seeing my gloomy appearance, Mo Zi couldn't bear to say: "But I can teach you a few sets of life-saving swordsmanship, as long as you learn it well, you can win by surprise in a short time." Even if you have a large gap in strength with the other party, you can still gain the upper hand in a short period of time and take the opportunity to escape. ”

When I heard that there was such a swordsmanship, I was very happy. Mo Ziwei taught me that my swordsmanship is famous for being strange, the sword is weird, the swordsmanship is peculiar, the intention is to make strange moves, so that the other party is confused for a while, unable to resist, and can win by surprise in a short time.

"Martial arts pays attention to more reality and less fiction, and talks about a 'reality', so I have never advocated winning with beautiful, complicated, weird and strange swordsmanship. Because this is only superficial, flashy, and not long-lasting, only strength to win is the last word. However, the trick is not without its benefits, and for those who are weaker but urgently need to defeat someone who is higher than you in a short period of time, the trick can often have a surprising winning effect. But Qingqiang, you have to remember that strange tricks can only confuse the other party for a while, not a long-term solution. The gap in strength is not something that can be made up by tricks, and when the other party reacts, it will have no effect on them, so you can't fight the opponent for too long, and he will see your true strength if it is too long. Look for the right time to escape, and don't fall in love with the fight. Mo Ziwei instructed me like this.

Mo Ziwei is a good master, he didn't deliberately release water to me because he was emotional, he pointed out to me mercilessly when he didn't treat him, and he also criticized me mercilessly when he pointed his finger at my swordsmanship. Although I feel aggrieved, I also admire his seriousness.

When I got to the west of the sunset, I was so tired that I sat on the threshold. Mo Ziwu sat down beside me, I leaned on him, and half-jokingly: "If you teach me so hard, you are not afraid that I will be better than the blue, and one day surpass you, the master." ”

Mo Ziwei said very confidently: "Even if you practice for another hundred years, you won't be able to surpass me." On this river and lake, there are few who can beat me. Even if you really surpass me, I'm not afraid. ”

I tilted my head to look at him, and said with sparkling eyes: "I'm really not afraid, I'm not afraid that you won't have face?" ”

Mo Zi nodded my nose and smiled, "If you surpass me, I will only have more face." A man's protection of a woman is not to ask her to hide behind herself, and once she leaves herself, she will be weak and helpless, and she will be bullied. It's about allowing her to protect herself, to be strong, to be able to stand alone, no matter when, she doesn't have to be afraid, and she can be happy. ”

My heart was like a warm sun, and I hugged him tighter, and said sincerely: "You are so good." ”

Mo Ziwu stretched out his hand to wrap around me, and the two of them leaned to watch the sunset in the western sky, the pale golden sunset sprinkled on our bodies, and he whispered under the setting sun of the stagnant water: "Are you coming back tomorrow?" ”

I said with a hint of sadness: "You know, I can't leave the palace too often. ”

Mo Ziwu didn't say anything, but just hugged me tighter.

As the sun sets, people sit next to each other.

——

Ling'er really returned to the concubine on an errand within a few days, and only said that she had returned from illness. Zhong Yu was also acquitted, and the murderer has not yet been found, so the painting theft case and the murder case have become an unsolved case, and it will not be resolved.

The osmanthus in autumn is finally opened, the osmanthus in the garden of Guihua Garden blooms light yellow and slightly white, full of branches and green leaves, the small flowers bloom vigorously in the dense leaves like green wax, one cluster after another, like a string of small silver bells, the fragrance is ten miles, the long aroma spreads all over the whole palace, and the smell of the fragrance is drunk.

Yu Wenyong occasionally passed by Guihua Garden, attracted by the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and was greatly delighted. Yuwen Hu suggested holding a palace banquet, inviting concubines, princes and civil and military courtiers to come to watch the scenery and enjoy the flowers, and the monarchs and ministers enjoyed together. Yuwen Yong was on the rise, and as soon as he heard this, he adopted Yuwen Hu's suggestion without thinking.

The flower-viewing banquet was held in Guihua Garden, and there were concubines and princesses, civil and military ministers, and everyone feasted and drank under the flowers, drank and enjoyed the flowers, and wrote poems and music. When the party was in harmony, suddenly a person stood up from the dining table, and everyone was surprised and looked over. I saw that Yu Wenxian, the prince of Qi State, looked at Yu Wenyong and Li Guifei on the seat with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "I just saw that the imperial brother and the concubine's sister-in-law had a very happy conversation, and they were in love. The younger brother was so envious, so he felt that the younger brother wanted to ask the royal brother for the matter, and hoped that the imperial brother could agree. ”

Yu Wenyong smiled and said: "You have always rarely asked for help, but today you actually opened your mouth to ask for me, which is strange." Anyway, what is it that is causing you to bother so much? ”

"My brother has been in love with one person for a long time, and my brother asks His Majesty to marry the two of us and give her to me as a side concubine." Yu Wenxian said solemnly.

I was shocked in my heart, Yu Wenyong turned the curly grass lotus pattern wine glass in his hand, and Ying Ying smiled: "Which girl did the fifth brother fancy to?" ”

Yu Wenxian turned to Ling'er beside Concubine Li Guifei and said very seriously: "The one who makes the younger brother miss in his heart is the female official beside Concubine Gui-Feng Ling'er." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Ling'er, who lowered her head slightly, her face was unhappy or sad, and she couldn't see through it.

Yu Wenyong smiled for a while, and then said: "There is such a caring person by the side of the concubine, I can't win people's love." Why don't you ask the concubine, would you like to marry Feng Ling'er to you? ”

Concubine Li's eyes were as gentle as an orchid, but her tone was very firm: "Ling'er, this child has always been considerate and thoughtful, and the concubine really can't leave her for a moment. Without her, it would never have been possible. ”

Yu Wenyong laughed and said, "If the concubine doesn't agree, I can't do it!" ”

"Your Majesty." One person stood up first on the left seat, but it was Yuwen Hu who was dressed in a dark purple robe, and there was a low smile between his deep eyebrows, "Even if the concubine is reluctant, girls always have to get married, and how long can they stay." Since the concubine loves Feng Xiaoshunu, if she finds a good family for her early, it will not be in vain to have a friendship between master and servant. It is rare that Qi Guogong and Feng Ling'er are in love, why is Your Majesty not an adult? ”

"What Jin Guogong said is reasonable." Yuwen Yong didn't expect Yuwen Protector to stand up, he was surprised at first, he still had a smile on his face, but he hesitated in his mouth, "But Feng Ling'er is from a humble background after all, and it is probably inappropriate to give the position of a side concubine." ”

Yuwen Xiaobo under the seat also responded: "Feng Ling'er is just a little female official, how can she be worthy of the position of a side concubine?" ”

Yuwen Hu smiled like a deep shadow of a tree on the side, "Why can't you afford it, Feng Ling'er is not an ordinary female official." She is a third-grade female official appointed by the imperial court, and her talent and ability are far better than those official ladies, and she is deeply valued by the concubines. Even if there is a slight deficiency in the family background, it can be made up. ”

Yuwen Hu said and turned his gaze to Feng Qian, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry and the military Sima, and said, "Isn't the military Sima also surnamed Feng?" The widow saw that he and Feng Xiaoshu were quite compatible, so he recognized Feng Ling'er as a righteous daughter and entered the Feng family tree. Feng Qian, what do you think? ”

Feng Qian smiled knowingly, looked at Ling Er and said, "Feng Xiaoshu has outstanding ability and outstanding appearance, and she feels so kind when she sees it." If I can enter the genealogy of the Feng family, it is also the luck of my Feng family, and the lower officials are willing. ”

Yuwen Hu smiled at Yuwen Yong: "Feng Qian has agreed, and when he enters the family tree, Feng Ling'er is the daughter of the military Sima, how can he not be this side concubine, even this side concubine is wronged." Does Your Majesty still think it's inappropriate? ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, obviously it had been planned a long time ago, Yuwen Yong was silent for a moment, and had to smile Lang Lang: "Since the Duke of Jin Guo has said so, then I will listen to the Duke of Jin and fulfill the wish of the fifth brother." ”

"Feng Ling'er!" Yuwen Yong asked with a smile, "If you want to recognize Feng Qian as your father-in-law and marry the Duke of Qi as the daughter of the Feng family, are you willing?" ”

Ling Er walked out from the side of the concubine, her face was respectful, and she bent down and said, "Weichen is willing." ”

When Yu Wenyong heard this, he laughed at Yu Wenxian, "It's really a concubine." Fifth brother, when I return, I will give you a decree to marry! ”

Yu Wenxian was overjoyed, and his smile was more dazzling than the fluffy and slightly white osmanthus flowers, "Thank you, Brother Huang." ”

A family affair is settled.

After the palace banquet dispersed, the night was dark, I held the red gauze lamp in my hand, and walked on the road back to the Wen'an Hall with Ling'er, the cool night wind blew the palace lantern swaying, and my heart was as uneasy as this palace lamp. "You've known about today's events for a long time, haven't you?"

Ling Er's complexion was bright and dark under the glow of the palace lamp, "I know." ”

My heart was in turmoil, and I was anxious and angry: "You know, then why didn't you tell me earlier, and you still have to agree to this marriage." Is the Mansion of Qi so easy to enter, the water depth of the royal family, if you are not careful, you will ......"

Ling'er stopped her steps, her eyes were like water, and she said: "Sister, I know you're worried about me, but I have a reason for doing this, and I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while." When I get back, I'll tell you everything. ”

Seeing that Ling'er was calm and calm, it didn't look like a decision made on the spur of the moment, so I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your explanation." ”
