On the morning of the 11th of the month, Zhou Xuan went to the forbidden city under the escort of the four idiots, because of the mausoleum, so Zhou Xuan ordered the Fenghua military residence to strengthen the guard, and the family Ding Laifu should focus on protecting it.

The fourth idiot was not used to this kind of vigilant life, and it was always others who guarded against him, saying: "The master should not let my third brother and Ning leave so early, but should let Ning kill this Wei Bo and count it on the head of the Falcon Gate, so that you can know exactly that Ning is sincere to my third brother." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "It's too exaggerated for the third child to marry a wife, I'd rather marry the third child and have a letter of nomination!" ”

The four idiots were puzzled and asked, "What is the name of the vote?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's my Australia, and strangers from the green forest cottage must join the gang, and they must accept the name, that is, to kill a person, and come to see it, indicating that they are outlaws from now on, and they are loyal to the cottage." ”

The fourth idiot laughed: "The rules of the Tang Kingdom are similar, I think Ning has changed too quickly, and he will be like glue with my third brother in three days, incredible, I am afraid that the third brother will suffer, so let the fifth brother rush to see it again." ”

Zhou Xuan said very deeply: "The love between men and women in the world is the most magical, meet the people you meet among thousands of people, in the wilderness of thousands of years, time is endless, there is no one step earlier, no one step later, the third met Miss Ning in Meixianglou, so I have to fall in love, it's a coincidence, right, this is marriage, marriage is so incredible and unreasonable." ”

The four idiots crooked their mouths and said, "So the master has a little more coincidences, and it's Qin Que and Su Needle." There is also the female Taoist Miss Lin who helped you pretend to be a maid to fight tea to win me, and the rest of Tengwang Pavilion met Yang Xiaofeng, and the girl who inscribed on the thigh of Baihuazhou, again and again, where is the person you meet among the tens of millions of people, and the person you meet is clearly the person you want to meet! ”

Zhou Xuan glared and said, "Fourth, what are you talking about, I have such a stallion - uh, is it romantic?" Fourth, you should look at me from the perspective of Qin Que and Needle. For Qin Que and Needle, I, Zhou Xuan, am the person they met among thousands of people, not one step earlier, nor one step later. I met, I'm the only one, isn't this a strange fate? ”

The four idiots were unconvinced: "Quipble! ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Fourth, you are hard-mouthed!" It's not right for you to include Miss Lin as well, it's just slander. I have a pure sister-brother relationship with Fairy Jingyi, by the way, how do you know that the maid in Baiyunguan is played by Miss Lin? ”

The four idiots said with a smug face: "I saw it earlier, and I saw it at that time." I didn't break it for you. ”

Zhou Xuan was surprised: "Side, fourth, what bad intentions do you say?" ”

The four idiots quickly turned their faces away. The back of his head pointed at Zhou Xuan and said, "What a bad attempt!" I'm just for my third brother. Otherwise, I would have gone away. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "I'm willing to exchange the third child for you." You're better than the third child, not a woman. The tea art is exquisite, although I often quarrel with me, but it is also very interesting, the third person is rigid and not interesting, and now he has married a wife, it is estimated that he is also afraid of the inside, how can he be loyal to me in the future! ”

The four idiots snorted, rode a white-nosed mule and landed behind Zhou Xuan's horse's buttocks, and rode with Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan first went to the East Palace to see the crown prince Li Jian, and said that Lin Heishan was willing to go to Hongzhou to thoroughly investigate the evidence of Wei Boli's access to the Southern Han Dynasty, and asked Li Jian to ask Li for a decree, so that Lin Heishan could act cheaply.

Li Jian immediately went to the Xuanzheng Hall with Zhou Xuan to ask to see Li.

Li is not very concerned with political affairs, and all the daily affairs are entrusted to the two provinces of Menxia and Zhongshu, he is three days and one day, and the rest of the time is to fill in the lyrics and paint, tune the strings and tune the music, leisurely, listen to Li Jian's words, and muttered: "Investigating the foreign domain for no reason, is it not appropriate?" ”

Zhou Xuan was speechless to Li Zhen, this kind of emperor can live peacefully until now is really God's favor, knowing that Wei Bo befriended the Southern Han Falcon, and said that it was an investigation for no reason, does it have to wait until Wei Bo rebelled and took refuge in the Southern Han Dynasty for a reason? It was too late to check at that time!

Zhou Xuan said: "Your Majesty, not in the name of investigating the Zhennan Jiedu envoy, it can be said that it is a wind collection, won't the emperors of all dynasties send ministers to various places to understand the people's situation, and the forest garrison of Lin Heishan can be used as a wind collector to go to Zhennan and Fenghua on business, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Li Longyan was overjoyed, nodded and said: "Xinzhou Hou said it well, picking style, this also means that I am diligent in government and love the people." "Immediately ordered Bingbi to draft the internal supervision, Wupin garrison Lin Heishan as the wind collector, Fenghua, Zhennan officials at all levels to facilitate Yunyun.

Li Jian personally went to see Zhongshu Ling Qi Zhang, so that this will could be quickly passed through the Zhongshu Province to Lin Heishan's hands, Lin Heishan immediately received the decree out of Beijing, only took two relatives and Wu, and went to Hongzhou by land.

Li Liuzhou Xuan discussed in the Qinzheng Palace, and said: "The Marquis of Xinzhou said yesterday that the reward for Abu should be in a false name and not in kind, but I don't understand it very well, and I will say it for me again. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Abu donated 50,000 taels of silver, and the gift was no longer able to commend his loyalty, nor was it enough to make a sensation, not enough to make Abu's loyalty and patriotism spread throughout the Tang Kingdom, and it could not play the role of educating the people. ”

Zhou Xuan is fond of Li, using poetry to metaphor national affairs, Li is really interested, nodded and said: "Xuan's nephew said it well, poetry has no eyes and no heart, it is all mediocre, Xuan's nephew said, how to reward the world?" ”

Zhou Xuan no longer detoured, and said directly: "It is to give an official, let Abu receive a false title, indicating that as long as you are loyal to Your Majesty, even if you lead the flow of pulp sellers, you can also be rewarded and improve your status, and its far-reaching influence will definitely make Your Majesty a famous king in history, and there is no lack of precedent in history for businessmen who have contributed to the country's feudal officials. ”

Li asked: "Nephew Xuan thinks it's better to seal a few officials?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's enough to have seven or eight grades, but the rank is too high, and I'm afraid that the pedantic ministers in the court will oppose it." ”

Li nodded: "I immediately announced that His Majesty and the Second Minister of Zhongshu would enter the palace to discuss this matter, and you should go and see the queen first." She has something to ask you. ”

Zhou Xuan went to the "Calyx Xianghui Building" to see Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou didn't see this halfway nephew for a few days, and he was very happy to see it at this time, and asked Zhiqi to wait for the edict to be decided

After three rounds of battle with Huang Xingjian, it was determined, and he had to win, and said: "Your Majesty is always indecisive, so what about appointing you as a chess player?" Nephew Xuan, has His Majesty ever told you about something? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Little nephew doesn't know what's going on? ”

Xiao Zhou said: "It is the matter of appointing you as a scholar of Jixian Palace." The former Japanese palace specially mentioned to His Majesty that His Majesty said that the scholars of Jixian Hall must have a long reputation for being well-educated to be able to take on the role, and although the nephew is talented, his reputation is not good. The government and the opposition are not yet known, so they will convene the three dukes, the two provinces, Hanlin, and Jixian in the Qinzheng Hall three days later to test the Xuan nephew, if the majority of the people agree, the Xuan nephew can enter the Jixian Hall as a bachelor. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. I forgot to talk about it to my nephew, so my nephew should be prepared, so that I don't know what to ask and be laughed at. ”

Xiao Zhouhou said with a smile: "Then nephew Xuan should go to Jingxu Palace first to say to Hu Zhu." Hu Zhu knows that you are coming to the place today, waiting for you to paint her portrait. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Yes." ”

Xiao Zhou asked Feng A to lead Zhou Xuan to Jingxu Palace, and Zhou Xuan got up and was about to leave. Xiao Zhouhou suddenly said, "Xuan nephew." Wait a minute. "Get up gracefully. motioned for Zhou Xuan to come with her.

As soon as the queen mother walked, there were palace ladies and chamberlains to follow. Zhou Xuan walked at the end, bowed his head slightly, and just saw Xiao Zhou's back below the waist, warm spring weather, thick winter clothes have been removed, the folded collar narrow sleeve palace skirt is beautifully embroidered, and Xiao Zhouhou likes to wrap the body, and does not like that kind of wide skirt, so Zhou Xuan saw Xiao Zhouhou's thin waist and hips slightly twisted under the skirt, not pretentious, but wonderful.

Zhou Xuan hurriedly looked away, not daring to look more, although he had no intention of being obscene, he would inevitably be a little fascinated when he saw such a beautiful figure, unless he was a visionless.

Coming to the study of the last portrait of Dinan, Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said: "Nephew Xuan, look at the two paintings on the wall, the same person, the difference between the portraits is so big!" ”

Zhou Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the west wall of the south study, only to see two paintings hanging, beautifully framed, one of which was the picture of Zhou Xuan's shirt and trousers painted by Zhou Xuan, the posture of sitting in a virtual position is very peculiar, the thin waist and long legs are outlined to make people's hearts surge, the facial expression is so dignified and graceful, with a hint of smile on the eyebrows and cheeks, mysterious, tempting, and luxurious, people dare not force their eyes.

The other should be painted in the painting of Zhao Gu Hong, and the "Night Banquet Picture" painted female characters in the same line, elegant and delicate, smooth lines, painted on the ground Xiao Zhou Hou Zhengda Zhuang Rong, a mother's expression of the world, the background of the south study behind him are expressed, the layers are clear, with the pen is old and spicy, but it is not painted Xiao Zhou Hou Demon Ye.

Gu Hongzhong's chest is also flat after Xiao Zhou, and the waist and hip curve are not obvious when he sits there, and what is even more bizarre is that the dark daisy trousers that were originally tight on the thighs have been painted into a strange style, wrinkled, the skirt is not like a skirt, and the pants are not like pants, completely covering up the beautiful body shape of the queen mother!

Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said: "Nephew Xuan, you see what Gu Hongzhong has painted the palace, I only see the clothes and no one!" ”

Xiao Zhouhou's words are extremely funny and insightful, Gu Hongzhong is simply afraid of depicting the human body like a snake and scorpion beast, and it seems that the queen mother is drawn a little more attractively, then the country will not be a country, so he only works clothes, almost as fine as the cloth.

Zhou Xuan listened to Xiao Zhouhou's words, and an imaginative person like him naturally thought of "seeing people but not clothes", and hurriedly expelled evil thoughts with affection and courtesy, and said respectfully: "Teacher Gu draws very well, the lines and colors are far above his nephew, but Teacher Gu is too prejudiced, and he doesn't dare to sketch in some places, which is distorted." ”

Xiao Zhouhou's face flushed slightly, and said: "Your Australian brushwork is unbridled, you learn to paint from Gu Hong, do you have to learn to be so cautious?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The little nephew will not be presumptuous, the little nephew understands his strengths and weaknesses, and learning painting from Mr. Gu is to learn from his strengths, not to move all the same." ”

Xiao Zhou said: "Nephew Xuan has time to paint a few more paintings for my aunt, you don't need to be so fine, just paint the clothes, my aunt likes your Australian costumes very much." ”

Zhou Xuanzheng needed Xiao Zhouhou to support his "Yunshang Women's Clothes", so he hurriedly agreed, saying that after the Qinzheng Palace's defense, he would come to paint Australian clothes for his aunt.

Jingxu Palace is in the south of Daxing Palace, which is the palace where Princess Qingle lives, and is connected with Daxing Palace by a long road.

Zhou Xuan followed Feng Ah Jian to Jing Xu Palace, and the female official of Jing Xu Palace saw that Feng Ah Jian was leading a young man into the palace, so she stopped and asked, "Feng Ah Jian, who is this?" ”

Feng Ah Jian smiled: "Yun Ah Jian, this is the Marquis of Xinzhou, the princess's main insight, and you are familiar with his wife Su Zhen." ”

Yun Ajian said "ah", suddenly smiled, looked at Zhou Xuan's eyes were particularly close, and said: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Zhou, when the needle was in the palace, I saw that she behaved elegantly and spoke decently, although she was the daughter of a poor family, but she was generous and generous, and there was no small family spirit, I expected her to marry a wishful husband in the future, but I didn't expect that the needle life was so good, and she actually married a marquis!" ”

In addition to the palace maids who entered the palace a year ago, the rest of the palace maids and chamberlains all recognized the needle, and when they heard that the needle husband was coming, they came out to watch, and praised the needle's good life, and there was a palace lady who was bold, and saw Zhou Xuan smiling and grinning with a good temper, so he said: "Lord Zhou, this Jingxu Palace can be said to be Sister Needle's maiden family, we are all sisters of needles, you came to Sister Needle's maiden house, why are you empty-handed?" ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "What my sisters and sisters blame is that Zhou Xuan was negligent, and he will definitely bring gifts tomorrow, and there will be no less." ”

In Jingxu Palace, there was thunderous laughter, warblers and swallows, and laughter was endless.

Princess Qingle heard it, walked out of the jade hall, and saw Zhou Xuan happily coming over surrounded by a large group of palace ladies and chamberlains, Zhou Xuan smiled and smiled, this person is a smiling tiger, but what annoys is that those palace ladies and chamberlains are smiling like a New Year's holiday.

Princess Qingle thought angrily: "These people don't see any smiling faces when they wait for this princess on weekdays, but Zhou Xuan is happy to be like this, it's really annoying!" ”

Princess Qingle's big eyes rolled, and she thought of a plan to trick Zhou Xuan, and said to herself: "Zhou Xuan, I want you to make you unable to laugh, and I want you to kneel and beg me." ”
