Patriotism came to the wooden platform. I saw Gui Ping'an and Li Zhi. Squeezed in front of him, "His Royal Highness Xiao Liuzi, Lord Wang, where are you busy?" ”

Wang Ping'an turned his head, saw that it was Shi Aiguo, and said busily: "Ah, Uncle Shi, why are you here, but there is something in the East Palace?" ”

When Li Zhi heard the voice, he also turned his head, he was shocked in his heart, could it be that his father saw something wrong with the song, so he asked Shi Aiguo to come and go back to him?

Shi Aiguo said: "It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing in the East Palace, it's the old slave who is worried about His Highness, so he found out." It's not because there's something going on in the East Palace! ”

Li Zhi sighed, it's okay. He turned his head to watch the competition on the stage again, and at this time, the stage was being renovated, he clapped his hands and applauded, and did not answer Shi Aiguo.

When Shi Aiguo was in the car, he had already changed into a eunuch uniform. Now they are wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and they are not eye-catching when they are crowded in the crowd. It was also rare for him to see the excitement of the ring, and he was happy in his heart. He also followed Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi to watch, but his eyes were not idle in the stand, and his mouth was not idle.

He pulled Wang Ping'an along. The two got closer, and Shi Aiguo said: "No disease, did that Xu Jingzong offend our eldest brother?" ”

Wang Ping'an was slightly stunned, and immediately understood in his heart that he must have told Shi Zhongchen about Xu Jingzong's random questioning, but Shi Zhongchen was interested and wanted to clean him up!

Wang Ping'an nodded lightly and said, "Xu Jingzong likes to inquire about things, and there are some things he shouldn't inquire." ”

Shi Aiguo hummed, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay." This punch is powerful! After cheering the people competing on the stage, he lowered his voice again and said: "Our eldest brother has ordered, saying that Lord Xu is a good person, and he should be promoted well, so that you have something good, don't forget to be in front of the emperor and the prince." Mention him more. ”

Wang Ping'an turned his head to look at Shi Aiguo, Shi Aiguo was busy, and he also turned his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

At this time, the winner has been divided on the stage, a strong man has won, is spinning in circles on the stage, proudly showing off his skills, no one has come on stage to challenge him for the time being! Taking advantage of this gap, Li Zhi turned around and smiled at Shi Aiguo: "What are you talking about? ”

Shi Aiguo hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the prince and the old slave are talking about Zhongshu Province. Who is the most capable minister? ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Do you still need to talk about this, naturally it is a lonely master." ”

Shi Aiguo touched his slippery chin and said, "That's natural, but there is a squire named Xu Jingzong in Zhongshu Province recently, and he has a good way to do things, and the emperor has already begun to pay attention to him." ”

Li Zhi sighed, nodded and said, "Then you will have to pay more attention to him in the future."

No disease, remember to remind Lonely. ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Yes, the ministers will remember it for His Highness." If there is anything good in the future, let's mention Lord Xu by the way, that is. ”

Without saying a few words, someone on the stage jumped up to challenge, and the competition began again. Li Zhi looked happy. In an instant, he forgot about Xu Jingzong.

This kind of thing, as long as someone coaxes and the real master does not appear, it will not end in two days, or even ten days and half a month. It was getting dark, the people on the stage were tired, and the people in the audience dispersed.

Wang Ping'an and Shi Aiguo accompanied Li Zhi, found a small restaurant, ate some folk food, and then returned to the East Palace.

After accompanying Li Zhi to talk about interesting things during the day for a while, Wang Ping'an withdrew and returned to Xitai. is going to boil medicine for Li Shimin next, and this time he has to change the prescription. But last time, he grabbed dozens of flavored medicines, including the medicines to be replaced, so when Concubine Wu came, he could decoct the medicine directly.

Tonight, I didn't wait for a while, Concubine Wu came, she had been told by Shi Zhongchen that she wanted to change the new prescription, she was quite worried, she didn't even understand the last prescription, and she had to change it to a new one, I was afraid that she still didn't understand, so she was quite worried.

Fortunately, Wang Ping'an was still so serious and carefully taught her the use of the new prescription, as for the decoction method, there was no change, it was similar to the last medicine. There was no surprise she feared. For example, students who can't learn things.

When the medicine was about to be decocted, Wang Ping'an said: "Sister, I encountered an interesting story today, and my little brother will tell you about it, so that you can also smile." He told Niu Dali and Hou Ling about the ring.

Concubine Wu was very surprised when she heard this, and said with a smile: "I always thought that Furong Garden was a place for literati to write poems. I didn't expect anyone to fight in the ring, I haven't heard of this kind of thing before. ”

Wang Ping'an said: "There are often some competitions in the palace, such as race songs, or throwing arrows into the pot or something, what do you women usually play?" ”

Concubine Wu thought about it, and her face suddenly darkened. Said: "It used to be common, but now it is less, and it is estimated that it will not be possible for a period of time in the future." Today, Mr. Shi is in charge of his temper. killed a palace maid and punished a large number of people. Everyone is afraid, who is in the mood to have fun! ”

Wang Ping'an was taken aback and said, "Kill a palace maid, why?" Who was killed? "You won't beat Wu Meiniang to death, right? She's also a palace maid.

This matter has nothing to do with the emperor, only with the little eunuchs and palace maids, Concubine Wu thought about it, but there is nothing worth keeping secret. She said: "It seems that two palace maids are fighting, and the general manager of Shi Da has a clear understanding and punishes the one who did the wrong thing" and shocked others by the way. That's right. It's the palace maid surnamed Wu, not the surname Wen! Saying that, she pursed her lips and smiled, she always remembered Wang Ping'an as a joke about Wang Ping'an's "not knowing" that there was a surname Wu in the world.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly asked: "Did you punish the palace maid surnamed Wu?" ”

"How can you punish her, it's too late to protect her! But what exactly is it? I don't know that I have always been unconcerned about these people's affairs, but others just talk about them casually, and I just listen to them casually. "Concubine Wu is a female official, of course she looks down on the little eunuchs and palace maids, she is in a hurry to be favored, how can she have the leisure to care about others.

Wang Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, it is impossible for Shi Zhongchen to punish Wu Meiniang.

Coincidentally, at this time, the medicine was decocted, and Concubine Wu took the medicine and left. Wang Ping'an stayed in the house alone, waiting for Wu Meiniang to bring him charcoal. But the night was calm, Wu Meiniang didn't come, I don't know why, maybe Shi Zhongchen forgot? If he doesn't give an order, it is impossible for Wu Meiniang to dare to come.

The sky was bright, and the officials of Zhongshu Province came to Xitai one after another to start their work. Other officials are okay to say. They each do their own work, and they don't come to disturb Wang Ping'an, only Xu Jingzong is here, and he loves to run here when he has nothing to do.

Xu Jingzong had a sneering expression on his face and pushed the door into the house. He said with a smile: "Lord Wang." Did you spend the night here last night? The old man brought you breakfast! As he spoke, he held up a food box in his hand.

Wang Ping'an saw him come in and thought, "It's just right, I was just going to look for you, and you sent it to the door yourself." He stood up. With a smile on his face, he said, "Lord Xu, you still remember me, this really makes me embarrassed!" ”

Xu Jingzong put the food box on the table, his eyes were like hooks, and he quickly swept the room, and then smiled:

The two of them, no need to be a guest, Guihou Ye come and taste it, but I am a clip. Qin'e... Ten meals. I don't know if it's to your liking. ”

As he spoke, he sat down and opened the food box, and his eyes quickly swept to the table to see if there was anything valuable!

Wang Ping'an also sat down. said: "There is Mrs. Lao Zun, and she even made breakfast for me by herself." How can I be! ”

If you want to talk about this Xu Jingzong, this sycophant kung fu, it is really in the government and the opposition, and few people can match him. If Wang Ping'an didn't know what his nature was, it would be really easy to be fooled!

Xu Jingzong hid a knife in his smile, and he was good at two sides and three knives, which is famous in history, don't look at the tight knots now, and at the critical moment, he stabbed people twice with a smile. That's not going to say hello in advance!

Xu Jingzong took out a bowl of porridge from the food box. There was also a plate of dumplings, and he took out a few side dishes, pointed to one of them, and said with a smile: "This is made by the little girl for the prince, come and taste it!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "What did Ling's daughter do for me?" Oops, this is so embarrassing! He picked up the chopsticks, tasted them, and thought, "Your daughter made that?" It's the same nonsense, without 20 years of skill, I don't want to make such a delicious side dish! ”

Nodding again and again, Wang Ping'an said: "Good taste, well, good taste!" "Serve a bowl of porridge and eat breakfast with a snort.

Xu Jingzong looked at Wang Ping'an with a smile. Said: "Eat slowly, if it is in line with the appetite of the prince and the prince, the old man will go home and let the little girl do it for you every day, her own family, your own family!" ”

Wang Ping'an remembered what Ma Zhou had said to him, this Xu Jingzong wanted to recruit a son-in-law when he saw a rich young man, could it be that he really fell in love with me? Come on. I don't want to call him an old man!

Xu Jingzong said again: "The prescription that the prince prescribed to the old man, the old man went home and took it. Sure enough, the effect is remarkable, and it is very good! After a pause, he said, "When will the prince be free, if it is convenient, go to the old man's house to sit?" ”

Wang Ping'an swallowed a mouthful of porridge and said, "Lord Xu is too polite, if I have time, I will definitely go to your house to disturb you, let's talk about family life." ”

He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. He said again: "Oh, after eating a good meal from Lord Xu, it is really unrecompensable!" By the way, Lord Xu is Lord Ma's right-hand man, and Lord Ma is the master of His Royal Highness the Prince, so will you often see the Prince? ”

Xu Jingzong laughed dryly. I thought, "If you ask." It's complete nonsense, can I meet the prince often, can you not know? If I see the prince often, what will I do with your ass? I'll also bring you breakfast, it's so beautiful that you have a big snot bubble! ”

He sighed and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't come to Xitai often, how can the old man see His Highness often!" ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "If you want to see the prince in Xitai, isn't it easy, as long as I don't go to the East Palace today, I have to find the prince!" It's a pity that I can't bet on this, or I'll win you a lot! ”

Wang Ping'an said: "In fact, the prince handles official business every day. It's hard work."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong immediately took over the conversation: "Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely diligent, which is really a blessing for my Tang subjects."

Wang Ping'an suddenly lost his appetite, so he had to listen, and in order to express his approval, he couldn't stop nodding his head and saying yes again and again.

After talking for a long time, the farts that the parties couldn't hear were just finished, and Xu Jingzong said: "The prince shares his worries for His Royal Highness the Prince." It's really hard! ”

It's been filmed, and the conversation is connected! Wang Ping'an lowered his voice and said, "If Lord Xu can help, it would be great."

Lord Xu doesn't know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I don't know much about the government, but I can ask others, I'm embarrassed, it's better to ask my own people, it's convenient to ask yourself, Lord Xu, you are your own person, it's better to,"

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jingzong with anticipation on his face, and the meaning was obvious: If you have kung fu, why don't you come to help and share the prince's worries?

Explicitly, this is an authentic manifestation! Xu Jingzong's heart blossomed, and his chubby body showed signs of trembling! Didn't stammer, didn't bring him breakfast in vain, the old man's infinite enthusiasm. It's finally going to pay off!

Xu Jingzong is not modest at all, and he does not shirk at all. Pointing his head like a chicken pecking rice, he said: "If you don't know anything about the prince, just come and ask the old man, the old man has been an official for many years, and he still knows a lot about the Taoism in the officialdom." We are our own people, help each other, that's how it should be! ”

Wang Ping'an was "relieved" and seemed to be very happy that Xu Jingzong could agree so happily. He said: "Then I will have to trouble Lord Xu a lot in the future!" ”

The excitement of the conversation between the two came, and they actually talked about national affairs in the house, and they almost ran out to point out the country!

We talked for more than two hours. It was nearly noon, and it was time for lunch again.

At this time, a small eunuch came to Xitai and came to find Wang Ping'an. said that the prince wanted to summon him to Chongxian Pavilion, and he had important matters to discuss with him.

Li Zhi can have any urgent matter, in addition to finding Wang Ping'an to approve the chapter, the rest is to eat, drink and have fun, it is estimated that there is a good chance that he will go out of the palace, and then watch people fight in the ring!

Wang Ping'an waved his hand to the little eunuch and said, "Not now, I have important things to discuss with Lord Xu." You can't leave Xitai, you go back and talk to His Royal Highness the Prince. I may not be able to get over until later. ”

The little eunuch agreed. The county departed.

After the little eunuch left, Xu Jingzong said in surprise: "Lord Wang, the prince has summoned, we as courtiers should rush away, how can we let him wait!" ”

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." Let's move on to ours. ”

Xu Jingzong was dumbfounded, you are so bold! I was a little scared in my heart, if the prince lost his temper, would it affect him? He was a little reluctant, trying to find an excuse to leave.

But Wang Ping'an had a good conversation and didn't let him go, and then the nonsense from all over the world, Xu Jingzong became more and more afraid, like sitting on pins and needles.

After a while, I suddenly heard someone outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

Xu Jingzong's head buzzed, and he thought: "It's over, the prince has personally come to Xingshi to ask for guilt!" ”

Wang Ping'an pulled Xu Jingzong to stand up together. Welcome out the door. I saw Li Zhi walking briskly. A look of displeasure on his face.

To Xu Jingzong's surprise, Li Zhi was originally very unhappy, but as soon as he saw Wang Ping'an, his unhappy look disappeared immediately, and he just said: "No disease, what's wrong with you, what is happening, why don't you go to see Lone?" He glanced at Xu Jingzong next to him, and his unhappy look immediately returned to his face, and said, "You are Xu Jingzong, what is important to you, do you have to talk to Wuzhi today?" ”

Xu Jingzong grinned and thought: "No, you asked Wang Ping'an to go, Wang Ping'an didn't go, you came in person, didn't scold him, but you want to spill anger on my head?" Whoever I recruited provoked, I wronged me! ”
