After about two teas, the banquet began to come to an end, Tang Xuanlin suddenly appeared in front of Bu Tong, a moon-white strong suit lined the whole body long and jade, and Bu Tong was a little similar, but I don't know why, the impression of Tang Xuanlin in the previous life was that he wore a robe all day long, and he never changed the color.

Looking at Bu Tong's bright and smiling eyebrows, Tang Xuanlin's cold appearance couldn't help but bring a hint of softness,

"I've met Miss Bu, and His Royal Highness invited Miss Bu to talk about it."

Bu Tong got up, "Your Highness Xie appreciates, Bu Tong should go to the appointment." ”

Mu Hesheng all the arrangements are very proper, several side halls on the west side of the main hall, is the palace banquet His Majesty left to the banquet to the people to rest and change clothes, the door of the hall is wide open, occasionally a few back hall door stands Ding ladies and others, the fourth prince Mu Hesheng, is sitting in the main seat of the palace.

There are people walking around but not noisy, such a place is really not something that ordinary people can think of.

Bu Tong was not polite, and smiled stupidly at the back of Tang Xuanlin, who was walking straight behind Mu Hesheng, and then approached and sat on Mu Hesheng's right hand, the big seat was a bit high for Bu Tong, who was still understature, and tried to rub it back, and then sat down,

"I've seen Your Highness."

Mu Hesheng was already as calm as water about Bu Tong's behavior, and there was nothing unusual, and the voice he replied was not loud but calm and powerful,

"Miss Bu has experience in the defeat of the DPRK, it is better to have a good chat with the next one, I heard that the young general Bu and the people around him discussed the art of war written by his sister, a few words into the ear, but it is very subtle, I think Miss is not different from the usual boudoir women, but there are no beads in the eyes."

Bu Tong's eyes fell on Tang Xuanlin's face who was smiling slightly,

"Then Your Highness believes the words of the courtier?"

The fourth prince coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, "Xuanlin is different from ordinary men, Miss Bu is still young and doesn't understand this." ”

Isn't it just a eunuch, why don't you understand?

Bu Tong complained silently, and he couldn't bear to say it in front of Tang Xuanlin to make him sad.

"One day His Highness will believe."

Mu Hesheng arched his hand, "Now that my father is in poor health, the situation in the DPRK and China is turbulent, and the courtiers are ambitious, if we go on this time, we will definitely shake the fundamentals. ”

Bu Tong straightened up,

"It is a blessing for the country that Your Highness cares about his subjects," after a slight pause, Bu Tong said word by word, "My good plan is to establish a new secret service agency, covering a series of privileges such as investigation, collection, interrogation, verdict, and punishment. ”

Mu Hesheng was shocked, "Secret service? What does this mean? How can a great country do such a treacherous thing! ”

Bu Tong explained carefully,

"It's not like those strategists who are raised in the palace to play with the court situation, but to set up a sharp blade for Your Majesty and the country, directly under Your Majesty, obey Your Majesty's orders, omit the six departments of the court in the middle, act secretly, and hit the key point. How can the ministers be relied on? ”

Mu Hesheng's brows furrowed a little, not because Bu Tong's words were arrogant, but because of these not very nice words, it is really the most difficult problem facing now, His Majesty is sick, the courtiers are holding each other and relying on each other, and the appointment of anyone is widely implicated, and a thorough investigation of which one is sheltered in many ways, and it cannot be compensated.

Butong took a sip of tea and looked at the little palace lamp outside,

"Your Highness is a virtuous person for the people, and this reasoning naturally makes sense, and now only by establishing such a department, which is under the control of His Majesty and granted privileges, can he do things."

Mu Hesheng sighed softly, "The girl's words are indeed polite, but now that the power has long been divided, if a new secret agency is set up now, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among others, and besides, officials who have no foundation in the DPRK have no place to stand, let alone become Your Majesty's sharp blade, who wants to take charge of this special agency?" ”

Bu Tong's smiling eyes fell behind Mu Hesheng,

"This is what I have told Your Highness, my sincerity. His Royal Highness made a statement in front of His Majesty, and he could recommend to His Majesty that a newcomer with no foundation should be in charge of this department. Second, the newborn calf, grateful for His Majesty's promotion, must be loyal and have no two hearts. ”

Mu Hesheng followed Bu Tong's gaze and looked over, Tang Xuanlin's cool eyes fell on Bu Tong's bright face, and his voice was a little hoarse,

"Miss Bu means that she wants His Highness to recommend the people around her."

Bu Tong didn't care about decency, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers,

"Correct understanding, why should such a force give up to others, His Royal Highness said that Xuanlin is loyal and upright, it is better to take this opportunity to seek a good future for him."

Mu Hesheng fell into deep thought, and his brows never relaxed, "The truth in the girl's words, I understand that today's court really needs such a special mechanism to rectify, but I am worried that a few other high-ranking and powerful people will secretly make stumbling blocks, and it will be very difficult in the future." ”

Bu Tong held his cheeks, his fingers dipped in tea and scratched on the table,

"Now the court is divided into four parts, the military led by General Liehu, the vassal king headed by the Duke of the Northern Kingdom, the political side led by the Duke of the Eastern Kingdom, and the merchants led by the Duke of the Western Kingdom......"

In this way, Bu Tong chuckled,

"If Your Highness agrees to form an alliance with me and support Xuanlin, in the future, the Southern Prince's Mansion and the Northern and Western Princes, the courtiers will have a strategy to make them loyal to Your Highness."

Mu Hesheng was a little shocked, such words actually came out of the mouth of a young girl, and it seemed that what Butong had planned, the establishment of a spy agency, was just the beginning.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Bu Tong simply smiled,

"Your Highness is not in a hurry to answer, it is better to go back and write a good chapter, and present it to Your Majesty tomorrow to hear Your Majesty's meaning."

Mu Hesheng saw that Butong was about to leave, so he got up to stop him,

"Miss Bu, listen to the next word."

Bu Tong heard the sound and sat back again, adding tea to himself,

"I just shouted 'girl' twice, and now I have become 'Miss Bu' again, I thought His Royal Highness was closer to me, so it seems ......"

"The girl misunderstood," Mu Hesheng's appearance was finally more friendly, and the extravagance was still there, but removing the estrangement was also a bit of a warm man's meaning, Mu Hesheng took the tea set and poured tea for Bu Tong,

"It's just that I already have a wife in the lower house, and the girl is still in the boudoir, so I'm worried about being abrupt."

Bu Tong shrugged indifferently,

"Left and right, I don't care about it, how can Your Highness shout freely, your Highness has any concerns about the words of the courtier?"

Mu Hesheng went back and sat down, and looked back at Tang Xuanlin, "Xuanlin is talented, he is indeed talented in my house, and the future that the girl said is very reasonable, but it's just ......"

"Just what?" Bu Tong wondered,

"If we talk about the power of the court, our dynasty emphasizes literature and light on military force, and the Duke of Dongguo is naturally the biggest obstacle, but the biggest weakness of the ministers is to underestimate the enemy, and the Duke of the East may not be able to look down on and afford a newly established department, right?"

Mu Hesheng shook his head, "It's not that I'm worried about this problem, but now that my father is under his knees, there are still the eldest prince, the third prince, the sixth prince, and the second prince who are still in Kyoto and have great achievements in leading troops outside all the year round. ”

Bu Tong roared in his heart: My Fourth Highness! Don't be presumptuous here, okay? In the last life, the sixth prince went to His Majesty to talk to him, isn't the overseer of Dongchang still Tang Xuanlin! As long as you open your mouth, you will be able to do it!

There is still no wave on the face,

"Your Highness is too worried, this secret, Your Majesty will never take it to the court to discuss, besides, Your Highness has no foundation in the court, is it a bad thing for Your Majesty? Does Your Majesty believe in those princes who are recommended by ministers, or in a prince who serves the country and the people? ”

Tang Xuanlin finally spoke, "Your Highness, what Miss Bu said is very reasonable, Your Highness can give it a try." ”

Bu Tong raised his eyes, facing Tang Xuanlin's unpredictable phoenix eyes, and instantly blossomed.

After being reborn, look at Tang Xuanlin, how to look at it and how pleasing to the eye?

Tang Xuanlin was a little embarrassed to be stared at directly, and lowered his head to stagger Bu Tong's burning eyes, Bu Tong was displeased,

"Tang Xuanlin, what's the matter with you, you don't look at me at a glance?"

Tang Xuanlin lowered his head and was silent, Bu Tong looked at his hands that were originally hanging on both sides, and he was a little nervous and overwhelmed, and he didn't know where to put it, so he suddenly laughed,

"Why are you so thin-skinned? Xuanlin, you raise your eyes and look at me, am I good-looking today? ”

Before Tang Xuanlin could answer, Mu Hesheng got up with a "hoof", "That's it, I'll go to my father to give it a try, even if my father doesn't agree, at most I have to scold him." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Bu Tong,

"Thank you, Ah Tong, today's guidance, I have gained a lot, sure enough, General Bu Xiao is not wrong, Ah Tong will be a person who will do great things in the future."

Complimented? Butong looked very useful and shirked it,

"Your Highness is so polite, what is the effort to raise your hands......"

Mu Hesheng was amused by Bu Tong's appearance, "It's just that Ah Tong doesn't want to make jokes about Xuanlin, Xuanlin is very simple in the affairs of children, no better than Ah Tong, this ......"

"Co-authoring means that I'm an old driver, don't have nothing to do to flirt with innocent little boys?" Butong was angry and blurted out.

The two people on the opposite side looked at Bu Tong in confusion, Bu Tong smiled "hehe", and said, "Gaffe, gaffe." ”

There was a noisy sound outside, and Chun Tao poked his head into the hall door,

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Miss, are you going to set off fireworks, do you want to come out and have a look?"

"Of course," Bu Tong got up briskly and pulled Tang Xuanlin away from Mu Hesheng's side,

"With the use of His Royal Highness's Xuanlin, it will be returned tonight before the key under the palace gate."

Shi Qing, who was standing with Chun Tao at the door, was still chattering when the two passed by,

"It's really so disrespectful!" The last two words slowly dissipated in Chun Tao's scolding and the exclamation of being beaten......

Bu Tong didn't care, pulled Tang Xuanlin and walked straight to the palace fence where there were not many people on the side, looked at the night sky overhead, and then took a deep breath,

"Xuanlin, this is the first fireworks we watched together."

Tang Xuanlin took half a step back and whispered,

"Ah Tong looks good today."

Bu Tong was suddenly amused, why did this elm pimple suddenly open up, but then he remembered that in the side hall, he seemed to have asked him,

"Xuanlin, you raise your eyes to look at me, am I good-looking today?"

Ah Tong looks good today.

He replied.

He said that Ah Tong looked good today.

Atong?

He called himself Ah Tong?

Butong was not satisfied, and reached out to pull him forward,

"In the house, my father, mother, and brother all call me 'Tong'er', and you will call me Tong'er in the future."

Tang Xuanlin nodded lightly, but it was still like being nailed to the spot, not moving at all, seeing that Bu Tong was in a hurry, he only whispered, "Tong'er, this is not in line with etiquette, I can't come close to watch the fireworks with the nobles." ”

As he spoke, the fireworks had been lit, and the calm night sky was instantly lit up, and at the same time, everyone's faces were also illuminated.

"Xuanlin, I won't miss you again this time."

But under the explosion of fireworks, what kind of words are contained in it, and they cannot be conveyed, Bu Tong smiled lightly, reached out and held Tang Xuanlin's clean and slender hands with clear knuckles, the owner of this hand trembled slightly, and then vigorously held the small hand in the palm of his hand in the black shadow.

A warmth went straight to Bu Tong's chest, and the heart suddenly beat faster, and Bu Tong suddenly felt that in his last life, it was not just as simple as a good deck of cards being broken, but he threw the cards with Wang Bang, right?

I never found out that Tang Xuanlin, the "cold-faced Hades", is so flirtatious and easy to overthrow, affectionate and reliable, such a fairy-like character, not to mention the monstrous power in the future, even if he stays by his side on weekdays, how pleasing it looks to the eye.

The fireworks slowly dispersed, Tang Xuanlin let go of Bu Tong's hand in time, straightened up and looked at Bu Tong's big eyes that were still flashing in the dark, and the side of the bun was shining brightly.

"The fireworks in the world are all installed on your head."

Bu Tong stretched out his hand and brushed the string of steps, his cheeks were slightly red in the dark night, and he whispered,

"I don't care about the fireworks in the world, I don't care about the changes, I'm just a little woman, I want to marry you as a wife."

There was no fluorescence on Tang Xuanlin's face, and his expression hidden in the dark night was a little blurred, Bu Tong reached out to pull his sleeve, "Xuanlin? ”

"I will live up to it, I will love it." The person above his head said this sentence softly, Butong was instantly relieved, and was about to respond to something, when someone behind him stepped forward,

"Miss......"

It was Chun Tao, holding the gift box left by Bu Yiyang and stomping his feet anxiously, Tang Xuanlin hurriedly took two steps back, "Chun Tao girl." ”

Chun Tao "snorted" in the dark and ignored him, and stepped forward to take care of herself, "Miss, the palace banquet is about to end, when will you go to find Miss Yu?" ”

Bu Tong saw that the palace people were starting to hold the lamp on the side of the corridor railing, and then remembered that he still had a major matter to do, Tang Xuanlin saw Bu Tong's thoughts, "Then the slave went to find His Royal Highness, Miss Bu walked in the middle of the night, don't get cold." ”

Butong raised his hand to stop him,

"In the future, in front of others, especially with me, you are not allowed to call yourself a 'slave', and after tomorrow, you will never be again."

Tang Xuanlin glanced at Bu Tong deeply, said goodbye, and Chun Tao stepped forward, "Miss, look at him, I don't appreciate it at all." ”

Bu Tong smiled and shook his head, "Chun Tao, you still don't understand." ”

Looking at the brocade box in Chun Tao's hand, he lifted his shoulders again and cheered up,

"Let's go, go find the eldest sister."
