"Acquaintance with the third master." Repeating his words in a low voice, Hua Yue stroked her cuffs in confusion, "Then there has been a funeral in the house for the past few days, why haven't I seen you come to mourn?" ”

"Madame lifted." Desheng said with a smile, "It's said that it's an acquaintance, but it's just a meeting, and there are some contacts, and the small identity is not something that can come to condole, but don't worry, the small one can't do bad things." It was also this Diao slave who opened his mouth to blackmail, which led to today's conflict. ”

Hua Yue nodded and looked at Luo Xi next to her: "Then you can make it clear, what money do people owe you?" How can it be said that it is blackmail again? ”

Luo Xi was in pain all over, listening to Desheng's full of shirk, he was even more angry, and he didn't care about saying that, so he said with a breath: "This thief is plotting against him, and he is angry about the General's Mansion-"

Before he finished speaking, a thug next to him suddenly broke free from his shackles and punched him in the back of the head.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", Luo Xi's forehead hit the ground, and his voice disappeared.

As soon as the teacup was put on the table, Hua Yue's face sank: "What does this mean?" ”

"Young lady Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense, how can this gambler have half a sentence in his mouth?" Desheng hurriedly said, "Who dares to fight the idea of the General's Mansion?" This slave is in a hurry to lose, and wants to find money to save his life, and wrongs people indiscriminately. ”

Waving his hand to let Li Yun next to him check Luo Xi's injury, Hua Yue looked at him and continued to ask: "Which family are you from, you want me to believe in you, you should also report to the lintel, let me see the Buddha's face." ”

Desheng hesitantly glanced at Li Yun next to him, who was giving people a pulse, and muttered vaguely.

Li Yun felt his pulse, shook his head at Huayue and said, "I'm out of breath." ”

With a joy in his eyes, Desheng immediately said bluntly: "The little one is the envoy of the prince and the servant of Lord Huo, Lord Huo is upright, and the small one naturally can't do things that wronged people with empty tongues. The young lady let the villain go, and when the villain went back, he asked Lord Huo and the villain to make amends. ”

It turned out to be a person from the East Palace, and Hua Yue lowered his eyes.

The room was quiet, Desheng was a little uneasy, and was thinking about whether to make up for two more sentences, but he suddenly said: "Since this is the case, then you can go." ”

"Young lady?" Frostfall pointed to Luo Xi's corpse below, and stopped talking.

Hua Yue waved her hand: "Take the blame for yourself, let them go." ”

"Yes."

Desheng was overjoyed and left the General's Mansion with people, only feeling refreshed. The mouth that should be extinguished is extinguished, and the general's people have no intention of pursuing it, and he has done this errand successfully and properly, and he will definitely be rewarded when he goes back.

Luo Xi's body was dragged away, and Hua Yue looked at the pool of blood on the ground and retched twice.

"It's the slave who is careless." Frostfall stood beside her, and said in a very soft voice, "There was news that the East Palace was picketing the Wei people before, and the slave didn't expect that he would not even let his wife go, which made people take advantage of the loophole." ”

Shaking his head, Hua Yue leaned back in his chair and smiled lightly: "Who would have thought that he would be so guarded." ”

Zhou Heshuo was originally taboo about the remnants of the previous dynasty, but he had made up his mind to reuse Li Jingyun, so he would want to get rid of the hidden danger of the Zhuang family first.

A living human life is just an inconspicuous bubble in the whirlpool of power struggles.

Raising his hand to support his forehead, Hanazuki laughed hoarsely.

"Young lady." Li Yun looked at her complexion and asked carefully, "Do you want to check the pulse?" ”

"Not necessarily." She got up, took a red envelope and handed it to him, "Thank you for these days." ”

Li Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand: "After bothering for many days, it is already excellent to have the young lady to eat and live, where can I still use this thing." I'll go back and pack my things and ask Master to pick me up later. ”

"Okay." Hanazuki didn't force it, she just let Frost Fall help her pack her luggage.

When she came, Li Yun didn't bring much things, but in the past few days, the young lady has bought her a lot, including a stone blue embroidered dress, which she took out and compared with her when the frost fell, and said with a smile: "The girl hasn't worn it yet." ”

Li Yun shook his head and said in a rough voice: "Walking in the imperial pharmacy, where can I wear this." ”

Rolling the skirt into the baggage, Frost whispered, "It should look good." ”

It's been a long time since she's worn a serious long dress, Li Yun thought, it doesn't matter, it's more useful to receive a box earlier than anything else.

After a while, a servant came from outside to call, and Frostfall asked her to collect it herself, and then got up and went out.

The room was basically cleaned up, Li Yun stared at the stone blue lump in the bag for a while, looked left and right like a thief, and then closed the door and shook off the folded skirt.

The best satin material, exquisite workmanship, a gentle flickering is a circle of ripples down, very gentle.

Licking the corners of his mouth, Li Yun couldn't help but sneak into it.

As soon as he turned around in front of the bronze mirror, the closed door was suddenly pushed, Li Yun jumped up in fright, and asked urgently: "Who?" ”

This weakness of heart was clearly transmitted through his voice.

The person outside the door seemed to freeze, and then stopped moving. Li Yunhu looked at the door suspiciously, pinched the skirt he was wearing, and just wanted to change his clothes and go to open the door again, but he heard a "click" on the windowsill.

Someone jumped into the room by the window, stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud as he held on to the long case by the window.

"Hahaha-"

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Yun's face turned green, and he turned his head and scolded: "It's a human master, how can you come in through the window?" ”

Wen Jiuzhi leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and tears jumped out: "I'll be a thief when you lock the door, it turns out-"

Li Yun was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, grabbed the hem of his skirt and rushed over to cover his eyes, blushing and saying roughly: "Don't look at it." ”

"It's not ugly, what are you angry about?" With her covering, Wen Zhizhi didn't struggle, but leaned on the long case, lowering her body so that she didn't have to tiptoe, "You can wear it if you want, and the master didn't laugh at you." ”

Isn't that a joke? I almost laughed at the roof.

Li Yun was so angry that he pushed him out of the window with his backhand: "Go out and go out." ”

Caught off guard, she was really pushed out, and she staggered two steps to stand up, still smiling on her face: "Don't change it, just follow me back to the imperial pharmacy, and keep the medicine boys who bullied you on weekdays." ”

"Phew!" The people in the room scolded while changing their clothes, "Who is rare." ”

There was a commotion, and the two got into the carriage back to the palace.

Li Yun sat far away from him with red cheeks, Wen Jiuzhi glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, knowing that she was really ashamed, and said with a move in his eyebrows: "The Wen family is prosperous and yin is declining, and the three born to my mother are all sons, when I was young, the old lady looked forward to her granddaughter, and my mother gave me a Naluo skirt to amuse the old lady." ”

The head was angry, and when he heard this, a little curiosity appeared in his eyes, and he slowly turned his head to look at him.

Wen Jizhi sat upright, very serious: "What I wore was the little Luo skirt, which could be raised in a circle, I still remember that there was a pomegranate-colored, embroidered with a rich mandarin duck, the old lady liked to see that body the most, let me wear it during the New Year's holidays, and wore it until I was eight years old. ”

Looking at the long-bodied master in front of him, and thinking about the pomegranate-colored Xiao Luo skirt, Li Yun couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

This smile, my heart instantly relaxed, isn't it just a skirt, who hasn't worn it, the master wears it, she secretly tried to be ashamed.

Li Yun was not annoyed, and sat back next to Wen Guzhi, blinking and stealing fun.

sighed secretly in his heart, and shook his head in retrospect, it's not easy to take apprentices these days, with a little grinder, you have to coax yourself.

"Has the young lady found out about it?" He asked about business.

Li Yun replied honestly: "It's clear, the prescription was given by a fat slave under Master Huo of Donggong, but the young lady didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing it, so she let the person go on the spot." ”

She said and wondered even more: "What is the young lady thinking?" is clearly the dead liver and intestines of the housemother, but she is unwilling to track down the murderer for her. ”

Wen Jiuzhi sighed when he heard it, otherwise how to say that the little sister-in-law is smart, this little girl is stupid, the Zhuang family does not go out of the second door, and she has never had a grudge against anyone, how can the people in the East Palace attack her? They are just receiving money to do things for their masters.

Since the master wants people to do it, it is useless for her to investigate, and she will not leave direct evidence, not to mention that she is just a young lady of the general's mansion, can she sue the prince of the dynasty?

There has been no movement on the eldest princess's side recently, and the prince is naturally in the limelight, and he has been asked about all matters in the DPRK and China recently, as if he has the meaning of supervising the country. At this juncture, whoever has a hard fight with the prince is in a hurry to be reincarnated.

Will the sister-in-law hold back this bad breath? Refreshed and looked out of the car in deep thought.

The day of the autumn harvest is approaching, and the emperor of Daliang finally woke up from the matter of alchemy and immortality, and began to check how his national strength was in the fifth year. Zhou Heshuo and others also took advantage of this opportunity to invite credit.

Shen Zhiluo was arranged to go to the palace to accompany His Majesty to talk about immortality, Zhou Heshuo's meaning was to let him think of convincing His Majesty to hand over the errand of the Spring Festival tour to him, but for some reason, Shen Zhiluo went back on a trip, and His Majesty did not let go.

No one knows what Shen Zhiluo said in front of the emperor, and Zhou Heshuo naturally can't embarrass him, but Shen Zhiluo is also a Wei person in the end, Zhou Heshuo thanked him generously, or put him back in the Shen Mansion and no longer get close.

When Su Miao heard the news, she thought that Shen Zhiluo would be disappointed and sad, so she hurriedly prepared a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, intending to comfort and comfort him in order to show her virtuousness as a wife.

However, when Shen Zhi entered the door, his face was calm, and he bypassed her and whispered a few words to Xingnu, and after a while, the room was full of people she didn't know.

"You go and rest first." He told her, "I still have some things to discuss. ”

Flattened her mouth, Su Miao was a little aggrieved: "I can't listen?" ”

Shen Zhiluo shook his head firmly.

Okay, Su Miao retreated, wearing a long skirt of autumn fragrance, swaying back and forth in the courtyard like a wandering spirit.

"Miss." Mu Yu was dazzled by her, "You want to find a place to sit for a while?" ”

Su Miao stopped, blinked and asked her, "Muyu, am I annoying?" ”

Mu Yu shook his head: "You are the most sensible, you never get in the way of anyone, where it will be annoying." ”

"It's been so long, why doesn't he want to see me?" Su Miao squatted down, her long skirt swept up two points of ash on the ground, how depressed she looked, "Don't let me know anything, I treat him as an insider, and he still treats me as an outsider." ”

"This-" Mu Yu thought for a moment, "Xu is that the matter is really important, and my uncle is not easy to say." ”

Su Miao pouted: "My cousin is not hiding anything from me." ”

Although he also hid some from his sister-in-law, it was different, he hid it for the good of his sister-in-law, and he was always prepared for God to cover for her. The one in the room treated her like an outsider completely, like a piece of ice, covering her with cold water.

Su Miao never cared who Shen Zhiluo liked in the past, he liked his sister-in-law or others, but after marrying her, he had to treat her as a person, she was not a tree planted in the yard, she only needed to be watered every day.

The pretty face was gloomy, and she looked at the pitiful one.

Mu Yu thought for a while and said, "Then you just hide it from your uncle, don't tell him everything." ”

"I want to, too." Su Miao frowned, "Where can I bear it?" As soon as I saw him, I wanted to talk to him, and I wanted to tell him what had happened today, what I had eaten, what I saw, how the ants in the yard had moved their nests, and how the birds on the branches had hatched their eggs. I don't have a doorkeeper on my lips. ”

Like a person is like this, there are endless things to say, and no matter how boring things look at him, it is also sweet.

Su Miao was very distressed: "Why can't he treat me for dessert?" ”

Rubbing his arm, Muyu said hesitantly: "The slave maid has long wanted to say, my uncle is lifeless, beautiful to look at, but there is nothing left in the soul, like the ornament of the peacock that was sent by someone before, only the beautiful tail is left, it is not alive." What are you trying to do? ”

Shaking her head, Su Miao felt that this little girl would not be rewarded, Shen Zhiluo was the most moving of this dead air, beautiful and empty, which made people want to fill him up to see what kind of elegance it was.

However, Shen Zhiluo has never let her fill in, maybe she is a little worse, and she can't pry open his tightly closed heart.

Touching the rune headband tied to his wrist, Su Miao let out a long sigh.

The guests in the house left, and Shen Zhiluo half-leaned on the chaise longue.

Su Miao leaned over and looked at him aggrieved.

"How?" He closed his eyes, "Who has offended you again?" ”

"You." She blinked, "You've been busy lately, and you don't like to talk to me anymore." ”

Lifting his eyelids amusedly, he said, "You're quite good at having fun by yourself, didn't you smash my newly bought vase a few days ago?" ”

Vacantly looking away, Su Miao said: "That's accidental, eh, who told you this, look at my cousin and my cousin-in-law, they got married a month earlier than us, why are they so sticky and affectionate?" ”

Shen Zhiluo looked at her: "Because your cousin-in-law took the wrong medicine, she really likes your cousin." ”

Choked slightly, Su Miao snorted lightly: "I also really like you." ”

The eyes of the person in front of him swept over, and there was a faint purple light in the deep darkness, as if he was smiling: "I thought that you had been by my side for a long time, and you could distinguish between liking and appreciating." ”

"What do you mean?" She was puzzled.

"Like is the most narrow thing in the world, you will be jealous, you will care. Appreciation is much more generous, no matter who the person has in his heart, she doesn't care, she just likes something in him. He looked into her eyes and said calmly, "You're the latter." ”

Su Miao was stunned, for a moment she felt that the person in front of her was angry, but in the blink of an eye, he said it very seriously, like a teacher in the school.

"In your eyes, I'm like a vase, just because it's good-looking, you want it, you want it." Shen Zhiluo shook his head, "You don't understand anything, but you expect me to fall into your pit stupidly." ”

"Not too much?"

It's really too good to hear this, Su Miao was indignant.

But after only being lively for a moment, she quieted down, looked at him with a pair of fox eyes, and was slightly aggrieved: "No one taught me what I liked and what I appreciated, I couldn't tell the difference, I just wanted to be with you, so I was with you." ”

Shen Zhiluo was stunned, and his expression became complicated.

The person in front of him lived a warm and flamboyant life, but as soon as he sat so honestly and whispered, it made people feel distressed for no reason.

"From the moment I made the marriage contract, I knew that you had someone else in your heart, otherwise I wouldn't have asked me to take you to see my sister-in-law every day, every time I was in front of my sister-in-law, you were different." She thought for a while, "I know that these are still stunned to get married, and then go back and be jealous, doesn't it seem ridiculous?" ”

It's because she knows that this thing shouldn't be hers, and if she's lucky enough to get it, she won't find fault with this thing.

It's not so much that she's cold-blooded and ruthless, it's better that she's cautious.

Shen Zhiluo's face changed a few times, and he still couldn't help but feel annoyed in his tone: "Don't leave me here and pretend to be pitiful." ”

Su Miao immediately smiled: "I'm not pitiful, no matter how you look at it, you get your wish, but you, face me every day, and refuse to say anything, don't suffocate it." ”

After speaking, he got up and flicked his skirt in a chic manner: "Don't mess with you, I'll take Muyu to the street." ”

Shen Zhiluo wanted to hold her, but this person jumped faster than a monkey, and his dress disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye.

With his hand empty, he slowly withdrew it and rubbed the corner of his forehead with a headache.

***

The autumn harvest birthday banquet is prepared in the palace to reward the hundred officials, at this time of the year, the hundred officials together with the kings from all over the country will report to the emperor about the harvest of the majority of the year and the achievements of their respective positions, Zhou Heshuo arranged people early in the morning, obviously for the debriefing, but in fact to invite merit, let the father know that he is not a prince in vain, but after the rest assured to hand over the throne to him.

Li Jingyun also took Huayue to this birthday banquet, toasted on the moon terrace, and listened to a string of ministers who reported good news and bad news, and sang praises to the East Palace for filial piety and ability to do things.

If they are left to finish like this, then the saint will definitely respect the prince even more.

Li Jingyun stared at the wine in the cup, and was hesitating how to speak, when he saw a few people in the cabinet, loudly praised their achievements, and by the way, they praised the prince to the heavens and the earth.

Those few people are usually not involved in party disputes, and Li Jingyun was very surprised when they suddenly spoke like this.

What's even more surprising is that the household department and the criminal department that went up behind also praised the prince.

The person sitting on the dragon chair was still smiling before, but when he heard it, there was no expression on his face, Li Jingyun's eyebrows moved, and when it was his turn, he also arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has not had a day off for most of the year, and the internal and external affairs of the government have been handled properly, although the dispatch of the forbidden army has not yet been completed, but the tens of thousands of people in the imperial forest army have all been reorganized, and they will be able to ensure that your majesty can rest easy." ”

He then gave several important things to the Imperial Forest Army, all of which His Majesty had ordered him to do before, and each one was piggybacking on the Prince's guidance.

None of the princes and grandsons of this Fushou banquet could come, and Zhou Heshuo naturally couldn't hear what they said, and when he asked about the chamberlain later, he only said that no one said anything bad, and every sentence was praise.

Foolproof.

Kazuki watched him sit back beside him after answering, and smiled and added food to him.

"Do you know those people?" Li Jingyun squinted his eyes and pointed to the ministers who had just praised the prince.

Kazuki shook her head calmly: "I haven't seen it." ”

She didn't lie, there were few people she saw before, and even if those adults were Wei people, they couldn't recognize her.

I just recognized Shen Zhiluo.

Calmly raising her sleeves to eat, Huayue looked at the very good moonlight in the sky, and felt comfortable.

There were a lot of people sitting at the banquet, some of them were drunk, and next to them was a small garden that could rest, and the palace people pinched the palace lamp to guide the way back and forth, and Kang Zhenzhong sat in the chair of the small garden drunkenly.

"Good days." He pulled the palace man's sleeve and smiled, "Today is a good day." ”

He gave His Majesty a lot of important things, all of them were through the hands of the prince, and he never told His Majesty, who is the prince suspicious of? Kang Zhenzhong felt happy when he thought of His Majesty's eyes.

The grasshopper can't shake the tree, but the insect drills a few more holes in the trunk, and the tree always falls down, and after waiting so long, this is the first step, and it is worth drinking two more glasses.

The palace man in his hand seemed to be frightened by him, and he broke away from him and hurriedly ran out.

The annex, which was still noisy before, quieted down at some point, and a full moon outside was in the sky, shining white as promised.

Kang Jung-joong laughed for a while and then fell silent, looking at the silent tables and chairs in the room, he let out a long sigh.

is not young, and his temples have turned gray, but except for the fleeting power in his hands, he seems to have nothing left in his life.

He remembered Ramadan, and the dignified girl had asked him, "What is Zhong's ambition?" ”

At that time, the young man was full of spirit and momentum, and he said: "I should protect the common people and be the general of that banner." ”

But later, for the sake of fame and fortune, he slaughtered half of the Great Wei Palace, he did not become a general, but became a civil servant he hated, and he never even picked up a knife again.

Ramadan chose Li Shoutian is actually right, no matter how beast he is, he is better than himself.

Laughing hoarsely, Kang Jung-joong wiped his face.

Someone came in from outside the door, slowly paced over to him and sat down.

He turned his head sideways, saw a girl in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: "Will there be any female relatives who have drunk too much at this birthday banquet and want to rest?" ”

The man turned his head and opened his mouth: "Do you remember that there is a fat old prince in Dawei?" When the city was broken, the old prince stood at the gate of the palace and sang a few words. ”

The smell of wine was surging, Kang Zhenzhong didn't ask who this person was, and replied with a smile: "Remember, he has a good voice, but before he finished singing, I cut off his head." ”

He said with some pity: "I still hear that tune often in my dreams, how can I sing it?" Tonight—"

The girl next to him made peace with him: "Tonight blows last night's wind again, and the spring flowers are fluttering in the old dream." ”

"This is it." Kang Jung-joong drunkenly asked, "What about the future?" ”
