Ouyang Shu hurriedly asked: Which is this Captain Meng you are talking about?

The soldier laughed and said, "No wonder the public doesn't know." This Meng Taiwei is the former Huangzhou defense envoy, Meng Zhonghou, the brother of Master Chongzhen. The former emperor specially issued an edict to promote Meng Taiwei to the observation envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao, and transferred 1,000 people from our forbidden army to help build the mansion. The emperor deliberately made a decree that there will be a reward for the completion of the construction within half a month, and a penalty will be imposed for the completion of the construction after half a month. It seems that this Meng Taiwei Holy Favor is very thick!

Ouyang Shu suddenly realized. It seems that Zhao Xu is determined to pave the way for Empress Meng to re-enter the harem. And the timing he chose was just right, Zhang Dian had just resigned as prime minister, the new prime minister had not yet been appointed, and the three provinces were still in a situation where there were no dragons, and what Zhao Xu proposed at this time, the officials below could only choose to agree. After all, this matter seems to be a little irrelevant, and there is no need for those officials in the three provinces to ruin the possibility of paying homage to the prime minister for this.

At that moment, Ouyang Shu thanked him and went to the yamen again.

When I just walked to the door of the yamen, there happened to be a person walking towards me. This person is none other than Fan Zhengping. Fan Zhengping has always been one of the earliest in the entire yamen on weekdays, but it is really unusual for him to arrive at the same time as Ouyang Shu today.

When Fan Zhengping saw Ouyang Shu, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, Ouyang Shu saw it clearly, and clearly saw a lot of bloodshot in his eyes. Ouyang Shu didn't know what to say, so he had to smile and nod lightly. That's the limit of what he can do. In the past, even if Ouyang Shu and Fan Zhengping met head-on, they would tacitly turn their heads away, pretending not to see each other.

But today, Ouyang Shu decided to release some kindness as a temptation. If Fan Zhengping does not express any positive expression of his goodwill, it means that the time for reconciliation is not yet completely ripe; if Fan Zhengping shows even the slightest expression of his temptation, it means that the time for reconciliation has come, and then he can strike while the iron is hot and thoroughly promote this matter.

Fan Zhengping was stunned at first when he saw Ouyang Shu's smile, and he was obviously caught off guard. But then, his face twitched slightly, probably he didn't like to force a smile too much, his smile looked too fake, more like crying. But in Ouyang Shu's opinion, this is enough. No matter how ugly the smile is, it is also a gesture of kindness.

Ouyang Shu stepped aside, and Fan Zhengping hesitated slightly, and then stepped into the door first.

One morning that day, Ouyang Shu didn't calm down much to deal with official business, and his mind kept revolving around Fan Zhengping. Although the time for reconciliation has come after a trial, this kind of thing still has to be gradual, from the first mutual nod to the first mutual talk to each other to the first time to talk about private matters, and finally to the first visit to each other's home, all of this is to grasp the heat and grasp the timing. People like Fan Zhengping are very good-looking, and if they don't grasp the timing well, it is likely to backfire.

Ouyang Shu sighed secretly in his heart. He never thought that he would worry about a man, let alone that he would be such an old man!

Fortunately, with Qin Mu's help in official business, his ability is very good, and Ouyang Shu doesn't need to bother too much. Sometimes, it is really a very pleasant thing to have a good master, no matter how incompetent you are, it is not difficult to obtain political achievements.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shu went to the palace as usual. Whether it was the guards of the Xuande Gate or the small yellow gate of the Forbidden Palace, they were already extremely familiar with Ouyang Shu, and when they saw Ouyang Shu coming, they just symbolically took the token and looked at it, and then let it go.

A little yellow door smiled at Ouyang Shu obediently and said: Li Xianzun, the official family is talking to the Queen Mother in Chongqing Palace, he has instructed, if you come, let the slave maid take you to the east study of the Imperial Garden, please come with the slave maid!

Ouyang Shu hurriedly said: In this way, there is Lao, a nobleman, to lead the way.

Xiao Huangmen smiled politely, led Ouyang Shu forward, and after a winding path, he came to the east study of the Imperial Garden. Although this east study is called a study, it is actually a leisure place, probably for the emperor and the concubines to sit down and rest when they are tired of strolling in the imperial garden, so although the place is clean and bright, it is a very small room.

The little yellow gate brought Ouyang Shu to his destination, and said with a smile: This is it, County Lord Li, wait here, don't run around, if you strayed into a place that you shouldn't enter, and saw someone you shouldn't see, not only will you be killed, but you will also be affected by the Sprinkle family!

Ouyang Shu hurriedly smiled and said: Zhonggui said that he laughed, Xia Guan also often goes in and out of the harem, and he still knows some of the rules in the palace, Zhong Gui, but please take care of yourself, Xia Guan will never affect you!

Xiao Huangmen nodded and turned around.

Ouyang Shu stood alone at the door of the east study, a little bored. At first, he could still look around, look at the flowers and plants around him, and fight the boredom. The flowers and plants in the imperial garden are indeed quite extraordinary, with a wide variety of flowers, all kinds of flowers competing to bloom, and they are very beautiful. Ouyang Shu stood there and watched for a long time, and now he was really lonely and unheard, among the flowers in front of him, he could recognize very few, many not only did not come out, but he had never seen them.

So many flowers each emitted a different fragrance, using the breeze as a medium, gently transmitting it to Ouyang Shu's nose, which really made him feel refreshed and intoxicated. He even thought to himself, if he could live in such a place for the rest of his life, and ignore all the strife of the world, why not?

However, he also knew that this was not possible. The most fundamental reason why Zhao Xu can live here is that he is the emperor, and he holds the best power in the world. If he didn't have that power, he wouldn't be able to live in such a place.

Zhan enjoyed the flowers here for a while, and sighed for a while, Ouyang Shu felt bored. Although there are many things to say about flowers, Shi can't say that it is the most lovely. , but all the time facing this flower who can't speak, Ouyang Shu still inevitably feels bored. He couldn't help but hope that Zhao Xu would come over soon, but Zhao Xu couldn't have known that he had been waiting impatiently here, and there was still no sign of appearing.

Boredom, Ouyang Shu began to think evilly: If only at this time, a beautiful woman appeared in the garden, this beauty came out by herself and was seen by me, the emperor can't say anything, right? Anyway, I didn't run around, just stood here quietly, and that person ran into my eyes by himself, and I couldn't stop it, right?
