。 A sneer rang out from behind the screen.

The little palace maid hung her head, without any expression on her face, and was as dull as a wood carving.

Behind the screen, Aunt Nian's face looked resolute.

She casually threw a string of beads into the brazier and sneered: "How can the Wu clan have such a stupid daughter! I can't learn witchcraft well, I refuse to learn witchcraft, and I only pretend that the man wants to leave you a way to live, and you insist on seeking death, but you can't complain about your mother's cruelty! ”

Chapter 115: On the Self-cultivation of the Faint King

Lu Li has not been to the court for many days.

He's busy.

He was busy urging the craftsmen to build gardens, personally selecting the opera troupes and storytellers to be used at the New Year's banquet, busy accompanying the princesses of those subject countries to play, and busy preparing for the ceremony of canonizing Concubine De after the New Year......

In short, he is busy from morning to night every day, his feet do not touch the ground, and he is happy.

Naturally, the officials of the DPRK and China were distressed. Approaching the end of the year, there was actually news that the official had left with a seal, and Lu Li didn't take it to heart.

However, among the people in the market, there are gradually some different voices.

The storyteller in the teahouse restaurant has new stories every day, and the people have heard a lot of them, and gradually they have heard some extraneous sounds.

The story of the bitter child who has endured for many years and stabbed the enemy is something that every idler loves to hear. Coupled with the storyteller's emotional performance, the listener can't help but want to tear a handful of sympathy.

And those who are more fond of listening to some twists and turns of love stories.

For example, young boys and girls make a private life, the evil old thief snatches love with a knife, and the strict father ruthlessly bolts the iron chain to the biological daughter, and the mandarin duck is separated...... With the foreshadowing, even if the girl really killed her husband and threw herself into her lover's arms, it seems to be forgivable, not to mention that she finally chose to forbear?

When Su Qingyuan is free, she occasionally likes to ask the little eunuchs to tell her new stories outside.

It's just that she has always liked to listen to stories the most, but after she became the protagonist of the story, she still felt a little hot on her face inexplicably.

How can she be as good as the story says?

What loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and what the people in the world, she has never taken to heart. If it is really like the story in this story, she will almost become a saint!

Luo Xia reported the news of the DPRK to Su Qingyuan every day, and by the way, she told her Lu Li's whereabouts at any time.

Su Qingyuan often refuses to listen attentively.

She's also busy.

Busy chewing those obscure books, busy practicing those secret techniques, busy dealing with Xiao Yingzi, who ran to Fanghua Palace several times a day because he couldn't find Lu Li.

Danyue was very upset about Su Qingyuan, and often talked about "that short-lived bastard".

Su Qingyuan was tired of hearing this, so she simply gave a death order and did not allow her to enter the inner hall.

After all, that "short-lived bastard" still has to come to Fanghua Palace every night to spend the night. She didn't want this girl to scold her face one day.

In a blink of an eye, Layue was already in the end.

On this morning, Lu Li made an exception and did not go out, lying on the bed and refusing to get up.

Su Qingyu looked at him suspiciously: "Why don't you go out today?" Disgusted by those little girls? ”

Lu Limo rubbed her increasingly rounded shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Apart from you, who else dares to dislike me?" ”

"Since no one dislikes you, why don't you go out?" Su Qingkite didn't believe it.

Lu Li gently squeezed her shoulder: "I'll be with you today." ”

Su Qingyuan turned over with difficulty, reached out and touched his forehead: "I can actually think of coming back to accompany me, if I am not disliked, then there must be something wrong here!" ”

"I seem to hear the sound of the vinegar jar tipping." Lu Li's eyes narrowed.

Su Qingyuan snorted disdainfully, and wanted to immediately turn his back to give him the back of his head, but his body has become more and more bulky recently, and before he could turn around, he was dragged into Lu Li's arms.

"What the hell is going on?" Su Qingyuan couldn't escape, and her face was a little indelible, so she had to cover it up by speaking.

Lu Li lay quietly for a while, and said indifferently: "Yesterday, I found a reason to beat Princess Mingyue of Zeguo, and she was almost useless. ”

"What's going on? Did she crawl into your bed again? Su Qingyuan asked in surprise.

Lu Li's face darkened: "Why do you say 'again'?" ”

"Hasn't someone else climbed before?" Su Qingyuan said sullenly.

Lu Li stretched out his hand and flicked it on her skull: "Except for you, no one has climbed." ”

"I didn't ......," Su Qingyuan was full of grievances.

Lu Li chuckled lowly and did not refute her words.

Su Qingyuan couldn't resist her curiosity, and stood up to look at him: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lu Li smiled and said lightly: "I got some evidence, which is enough to prove that she is inextricably linked to the Divine Bird Country. Moreover, she controlled her father and the court of Zeguo, and prepared to provoke a dispute between South Vietnam and Northern Yan. Qin Jiao almost colluded with Su Yi before, and among them was the 'credit' of that woman for fanning the flames. ”

"In this way, the skills of this Princess Mingyue are not small!" Su Qingyuan sighed.

"It's not small." Lu Li sneered, his face was a little unpleasant.

Su Qingyuan poked her head curiously: "Why do I think there is a little resentment in your emotion?" It's like an abandoned daughter-in-law! ”

Lu Li snorted heavily and gritted his teeth: "No, you heard it wrong!" ”

"Oh," Su Qingyi exaggeratedly elongated her voice.

"Do you know something?" Lu Li couldn't help but ask.

Su Qingyuan smiled with crooked eyebrows: "I also learned by chance that this Princess Mingyue is actually the confidante of the three princes of Northern Yan." It is said that in the autumn of the previous year, she once gave birth to a child for Qin Jiao. Although the child died soon, Qin Jiao felt indebted to her and always wanted to give her a name. ”

"And then?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

Su Qingyuan smiled and said: "The Emperor of Beiyan and the Queen Mother strongly objected, saying that a woman with bad virtue is not worthy of the position of princess, and at most she can only be a concubine. And then the matter was over. ”

"I'm afraid it may not be over!" Lu Li let out a sneer.

Su Qingyuan sat up slowly: "Yes." Who knows what's going on? Princess Mingyue came to the court on behalf of Zeguo this time, and she showed favor to you openly and secretly, even the blind can see it! If it weren't for a jealous fù like me, you'd have already ...... with her."

Lu Li sat up suddenly: "You can question my character, but you can't question my taste!" ”

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Lu Li didn't laugh at himself.

He stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Su Qingyu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I also noticed that her relationship with Beiyan was unusual, and asked someone to investigate carefully, only then did I find the clue that I can imagine, if I fall into her trap, Qin Jiao will definitely regard me as a mortal enemy!" ”

"Yes," Su Qingyuan sighed a little, "Qin Jiao seems to have been kept in the dark by her, and has always regarded her as a rare treasure!" If you sleep with her in a daze, and she runs to Qin Jiao's place to cry again, you and Beiyan's Liang Zi will be big! ”

Lu Li felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he didn't speak.

Su Qingyuan didn't pay much attention to it, and climbed his shoulder and asked with a smile: "What excuse did you use to beat her?" ”

Lu Li hooked the corners of her lips: "Yesterday, she chased a little girl and almost pushed Baili Yunyan to the brazier." ”

Su Qingyuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Wonderful! In this way, there is a pimple between Beiyan and Xiliang! ”

Lu Li sighed: "If it weren't for that woman's scheming being too dangerous, I wouldn't have to rush this step Although it seems that the reason is quite good, how could Qin Jiao not hold a grudge?" ”

"Not necessarily." Su Qingkite got out of bed with her clothes on.

"How?" Lu Li got up and asked curiously.

Su Qingyuan walked to the dressing table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten, what is the most famous trait of the Divine Bird Kingdom in addition to divination?" ”

"Charming." Lu Li said without hesitation.

Su Qingyuan nodded approvingly: "Not bad, Meishu." Princess Mingyue's appearance is only middle-to-top, and you have seen that little trick, but it is really not enough. Qin Jiao is not stupid, and he is not a village man who has never seen a beauty, why was he so fascinated by Princess Mingyue that he dared to disobey his father's order? I can't think of any other reason than flattery. ”

Lu Li's eyes immediately lit up: "Do you have a way to crack her charm and make Qin Jiao wake up?" ”

Su Qingyuan chuckled: "Kitsch is not witchcraft, you don't need Buddhism or Taoism to crack it." Facial disfigurement, limb damage, waist pain...... The slightest change is her fatal wound. Now Qin Jiao's side only needs a gentle touch from others, and he will be enlightened and sober up instantly. ”

Lu Li walked over quickly and hugged Su Qingyu's shoulder from behind: "There is a daughter-in-law at home who understands witchcraft, it is really a great blessing in life!" ”

"Huh?" Su Qingyuan frowned and glared at him in the mirror.

Lu Li laughed: "Did I say something wrong?" The minions in the palace are controlled by the witchcraft of the demon fù, and you can become invisible; The demon girl who knows how to charm outside has forced me to be helpless, and you know it all right, with you in the palm of my hand, I can sit back and relax and be a faint gentleman in peace! ”

Su Qingyuan rolled her eyes in the mirror: "I'm also a little demon myself, aren't you afraid that I will eat you one day?" ”

Lu Li threw a wink at the mirror: "You don't brag!" Obviously I 'eat' you every night! ”

Su Qingyuan saw his smug smile in the mirror, and felt ashamed in her heart.

In order not to let Lu Li see the joke, she couldn't help but not make a noise, and only raised her head to show a meaningful smile: "Are you sure?" ”

Lu Li gasped, and his blood suddenly surged to the same position.

Su Qingyuan touched his chest with her elbow and separated him by a distance: "It's not early, the emperor should go and do your business, right?" I still have a few pages to read, so I won't be with you! ”

Lu Li naturally did not accept this arrangement.

But at this time, the palace maids heard movement outside, and walked in with washing things.

Lu Li had no choice but to lower his head and lean into Su Qingyuan's ear, gritting his teeth and saying, "You are less proud, I will discuss this theory with you tonight!" ”

Su Qingyuan glanced at him and ignored it.

Lu Li instructed Luo Xia: "Dress her up well and go out today." ”

"I'm not going out, cold!" Su Qingkite was very reluctant.

Lu Li refused to compromise, and forced the girls to help Su Qingyuan dress up and pull her out together.

"Hey, I'm a widow, is it appropriate to dress like this?" Su Qingyuan dragged her dazzling red clothes all the way, a little dissatisfied.

"What did you say?" Lu Li's face darkened.

Su Qingyuan subconsciously dodged behind Luoxia, and stumbled exaggeratedly under her feet.

Lu Li immediately became nervous, and the stinky face that he had easily pretended to be couldn't maintain.

He was still not at ease, so he had to push away the light moon, personally came over to hold Su Qingyuan's hand, and sighed: "You are sure to eat me!" ”

Su Qingyuan grimaced at him and bared her teeth.

Lu Li couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch her face: "Pay attention to what you say in the future, is it okay?" Anger me to death another day, and you'll really become a widow! ”

Su Qingyuan looked at him with a smile: "It is said that the scourge will last for a thousand years, so you will definitely be able to live long live, and you will not die if I die a hundred times, don't worry!" ”

Lu Li didn't want to talk to this woman at all.

So there was nothing to say all the way, at most they rolled their eyes at each other, which was also a tacit understanding.

The place where Lu Li took Su Qingkite was the Qingyin Pond Pavilion.

Strictly speaking, it is not a place to listen to books and watch plays on Su Qingyuan's birthday.

Next to the original theater building, many pavilions and corridors were built at some point. The water is also drawn out, and it zigzags through the garden, and when it crosses the path, a small bridge is erected, which is both elegant and interesting.

In the middle of winter, no matter how good the garden is, it will inevitably be a little depressed.

But in this garden, the "depression" itself seems to have become a kind of scenery. There are no colorful silks and silk flowers on the bare branches, and they are frankly dotted among the strange-shaped rockeries, which is also interesting.

After walking across a few small bridges, Su Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh: "This garden looks inconspicuous, but this small bridge and this corridor ...... Spent a lot of money, right? ”

"Distressed?" Lu Li leaned into her ear and asked with a smile.

Su Qingyuan nodded honestly.

Lu Li hugged her and walked up to a particularly elegant corridor: "Don't worry, a garden, we can afford to build it." I didn't want to spend too much money on the people, these scenery looks very laborious, in fact, they are all craftsmen's craft. ”

Su Qingyuan didn't really care about these issues, so she didn't ask too much.

After taking a few steps, she immediately realized that something was unusual: "Is this empty down here?" Why is the sound different with each step? ”

Lu Li smiled: "It's just a little trick of a craftsman, if you think it's interesting, they won't be in vain." ”

Su Qingyuan curiously stepped on the spot a few times, smiled and turned around in two circles.

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but laugh along.

After passing through the corridor, you will enter a large water pavilion.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help but shiver when she saw the water under her feet.

Lu Li hurriedly hugged her tightly and said with a smile: "The bottom of the water pavilion is made of stones, which is very strong. And the source of this water is a hot spring, which is not as cold as the Reflecting Moon Pool. ”

"Even if it's lukewarm, I don't want to go down again." Su Qingyuan said with palpitations.

"If you're afraid of water, don't stand outside." Lu Li sighed and carefully hugged her into the water pavilion.

Inside, it's a different world.

If there is any word to describe it, Su Qingyuan can only think of the words "splendid".

Carved beams and painted buildings, inlaid with beads and inlaid treasures, even the bricks and stones on the ground are made golden, and it is actually a relief landscape map of "sunrise in the east". Not to mention the furnishings on the table, either crystal clear or brilliant, anyway, how to look at how valuable it is.

Su Qingyuan looked at it for a long time, pointed to the four-character plaque on the front of the "Sun and Moon Shine Together" and said: "This place should be replaced with the words 'I spend a lot of money'." ”

"Makes sense!" Lu Li stroked his palms and laughed.

Su Qingyuan rolled her eyes with disdain: "I used to boast of high taste, look at what you are doing?" I'm a vulgar person, I think this place is too vulgar, I think your taste is vulgar and hopeless! ”

"Don't belittle yourself like that." Lu Li Zhengse.

Su Qingyuan wondered: "Did I belittle myself?" ”

Lu Li looked serious: "This water pavilion does not represent my taste, you are the one who can best represent my taste." So, to question my taste is to question yourself. ”

"Hey......" Su Qingyuan was speechless by him.

Lu Li pulled her around a glass screen and said with a smile: "This place, I don't care if it's vulgar or not, as long as it looks like it's hard work and money!" And seriously, these golden things look very tacky at first glance, and after looking at them for a long time, you will find that they still look good. ”

Su Qingkite stood still
