Chapter 7: The Game of Hypocrisy
Lu Feiwan's palm that refused the teacup was still in the air, he was very surprised, he had read all the books of sages since he was a child, and it could be said that he could not accept the disrespectful words of Gonggong Lu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, looking around, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting beside them didn't seem to think so, and even in their eyes, there was a bit of expectation.
After all, the "seven-rank official in front of the prime minister" is a promising master, even a slave is a high-class minion, and Qin Liu's situation is embarrassing, there is no need to speak. If the emperor likes him, he is still a little prince, but if the emperor doesn't like it, the entire Xiangwang Mansion will be unlucky with him.
In such a world, the eunuch palace maid did not say that she hated Qin Liu in her heart, but at least she resented it, how could she follow such a master.
"Gonggong Lu is right."
Just as Lu Fei gradually understood Qin Liu's situation, Qin Liu spoke, his expression and movements were not affected in the slightest, and he only gently placed the teacup on the tea table in front of Lu Fei.
Qin Liuyan said: "If you can be chosen, Xiao Wang really hopes to be like Mr. Lu Fei, full of wealth, or wander away from the mountains and rivers, or serve the court." ”
"Hmph...... What to say to serve the court. Gonggong Lu still mocked beside him: "I think His Royal Highness King Xiang just wants to swim away from the mountains and rivers and go out to have a good time." ”
"It's still Gonggong Lu who understands Xiao Wang, it's true, the palace is tired of staying, and what Xiao Wang is looking forward to now is indeed a play between mountains and rivers." In the face of Gonggong Lu's cold words, Qin Liu looked gentle and bowed slightly towards Gonggong Lu.
Qin Liu lowered his posture, whatever Gonggong Lu said, it was what it was.
In the current situation, it is definitely more advantageous to obey Gonggong Lu than to resist, Qin Liu understands the basic human truth that "God must first make him crazy if he wants to destroy him".
Gonggong Lu's words and deeds today have intensified compared to yesterday, and he is even less like a minion, he is arrogant day by day, and Qin Liu's low-profile approach is nothing more than accelerating the progress of his arrogance.
"According to the old slave, Mr. Lu Fei still don't have expectations for His Royal Highness King Xiang, he is the heart of idle clouds and wild cranes, and he is not suitable for the way of the king."
As he spoke, Gonggong Lu took his eyes off Qin Liu, reached out and picked up the tea that Qin Liu had placed on the tea table, and naturally handed it to Lu Fei: "Mr. Lu Fei is a student of Lord Liu, and he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future." ”
Lu Fei is indeed a little younger, a person like Gonggong Lu who can pat on the back, when will he see it, he stretched out his hand and wanted to take the tea, but after listening to Gonggong Lu's praise, he raised his hand and subconsciously took it back.
"Father-in-law Lu said this, Xiaosheng didn't dare to be, he didn't hide it, Xiaosheng is also a playful person, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be defeated and nameless." When Lu Fei said this, his expression was slightly ashamed.
On top of the previous course, Lu Fei was difficult to write, he was not without knowledge, but the direction of learning, not in the imperial court.
When Gonggong Lu heard that Lu Fei had fallen off the list, he immediately changed his face, put down the tea, and asked, "Sir...... Isn't Mr. Liu a student? ”
"Yes, Xiaosheng is indeed a student of Lord Liu Qiaosong."
"Lord Liu is the first learned person in our Dayue, the old slave has long heard that Lord Liu will not accept students easily, if he does not really learn, I am afraid that he will not even be able to enter the threshold of Liu's Mansion, how can Mr. Lu Fei ......?"
Hearing this, the corners of Qin Liu's mouth wiped a slight smile, and he realized a little mystery.
Gonggong Lu has been in the palace for a long time and knows a lot of things, judging from his surprise at Lu Fei's defeat, Lord Liu's students should not be on the list.
Doesn't this mean that in the court today, the students of Lord Liu can be their own faction!
Lu Fei was asked by Father-in-law Lu, and the shame on his face was even stronger.
Getting up from the wooden chair, Lu Fei first bowed to Qin Liu, and then to Gonggong Lu, and then said: "It's just that Xiaosheng has a lot of distracting thoughts, and he is really ashamed to bear Lord Liu's earnest teachings, if His Royal Highness King Xiang dislikes Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng should leave and never complain." ”
Qin Liu was shocked by Lu Fei's words, and for a while he couldn't tell whether Lu Fei was acting falsely or being truly ashamed.
If it is hypocritical, then it will be enough, follow Lu Fei's words and give a step, and this matter will be as if it did not happen, and continue to worship Lu Fei as a teacher. But if he is truly ashamed, then things will not be simple.
Qin Liu's reason is more inclined to the latter, he has seen too many hypocritical people, but looking at Lu Fei at this time, it is really difficult to find evidence of his hypocrisy.
Could it be that he really blamed Lu Fei? Isn't he really a sour talent sent by Chen Qinglong to send him away at will?
Qin Liuzheng was questioning, but Gonggong Lu sighed lightly, waved his hand and said: "Hey, I said too, His Royal Highness King Xiang has a few catties and a few taels, and the old slave still has a number, and it is really Lord Liu who came to teach it himself, and it is not enough." ”
"No matter what, there will be Mr. Lao to accompany His Royal Highness, and the old slave will have to be busy with the big and small things in the house, so I won't bother the two."
Seeing that Lu Fei's use value was not great, Gonggong Lu didn't bother to serve anymore, left Lu Fei and Qin Liu, and swaggered out of the middle hall with all the eunuchs and palace maids.
Seeing the scene, Lu Fei also sighed in his heart, turned sideways to face Qin Liu, and looked polite: "The young student is only shallow in learning, which really makes His Highness smile." ”
"Sir, don't say anything discouraged." Qin Liu let down his guard, sat on the wooden chair next to Lu Fei casually, and said, "It should be said to be laughing, it's Xiao Wang, not Mr., but isn't life like this?" If it's smooth sailing, what's the excitement? ”
Hearing Qin Liu say something about life, Lu Fei was stunned for a moment. Qin Liu in front of him was obviously just a fourteen-year-old child, but his state of mind was more mature than that of a person in his early twenties.
Qin Liu's face was no longer smiling, he gave up the false mask of smiling, and continued to say to Lu Fei in a calm tone: "Presumably, Mr. is wondering why Xiao Wang has different thoughts before and after, but at this moment, he is a little like Mr. ”
"Your Highness is right, Xiaosheng is indeed confused, Your Highness, you seem to know human reason, but you ......"
"Xiao Wang might as well tell Mr. directly." Qin Liu deliberately interrupted Lu Fei to show that he had already guessed what Lu Fei wanted to say next, Qin Liu continued: "Xiangwang's Mansion is a prison cell for Xiao Wang, and this cell should be closed for people who are disloyal to the emperor. ”
Qin Liu had a direct showdown, Lu Feiwan didn't expect Qin Liu to talk about this, he subconsciously took a few steps back, and his expression became solemn.
"Xiao Wang, as the widow of the previous emperor, may be the most disloyal to the emperor in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, he ......" Qin Liu said this, his eyes were already moist, and when he looked at Lu Fei, his eyes were helpless and sad: "As Xiao Wang said before, Xiao Wang just wants to swim away from the mountains and rivers." ”
In the final analysis, changing the smiling mask is Qin Liu's foreshadowing of the bitter meat plan.
