Zhiyan Building, in the Oiran room.

A man is lazily sitting on the chaise longue, watching a woman dancing, the man has delicate and impeccable facial features, warm and streamlined lines, slender eyes, and faint brown pupils are as moist and quiet as the blue waves of a green lake, but there is a warm color that has not dissipated at the bottom of the eyes, and the thin and ruddy lips under the tall nose.

is already an upside-down face, coupled with his jet-black half-untied, casually draped long hair, and ambiguous marks around his neck, he is a chic and merry young man.

This person is the uncle of the small country - Su Xingzhi.

Su Xingzhi took a sip of wine slightly, and his eyes looked at the dancing woman with tenderness, the woman's posture was graceful, she was wearing a bright red gauze with a veil of the same color, covering most of her face. Only the eyes of Shui Jian are exposed, with a touch of light red, smudged and slightly picked at the end of the eyes, charming into the temples, but entangled with sorrow and resentment that cannot be dissolved.

Su Xingzhi let out a low laugh, got up slightly and threw himself forward, hugged the woman in his arms, he just hugged it, interrupted the woman's dance, and took advantage of the woman's unpreparedness, Su Xingzhi took off the woman's veil, revealing a beautiful and refined face.

Su Xingzhi put the veil on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, then rubbed her green silk with his chin, and said in a lazy tone: "Ah Yao has such a beautiful appearance, she does a lot to cover it, so it is much more comfortable to look at it like this." ”

This woman is the Oiran of Zhiyan Building-Bai Nianyao.

Seeing that Nian Yao didn't want to deal with him, Su Xingzhi sighed, rubbed Nian Yao's cheek affectionately, and was about to take a step closer, when he felt Nian Yao turn his face away slightly, "It's so blue, so what Childe wants?" ”

"If A-Yao wants to, it's not impossible~" Su Xingzhi sat back on the chaise longue with Nian Yao in his arms as if he had no bones.

Nian Yao peeled a grape for him and put it to his lips, and Su Xingzhi ate it with a smile in his mouth.

"A-Yao's grapes are really sweet."

Nian Yao frowned slightly, but just smiled and withdrew her fingers. "Yes, if you eat so happily, you are not afraid that I will be poisoned in it?"

"Don't be afraid, as the saying goes: peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic." Just when Su Xingzhi smiled playfully, he was about to engage in some interesting topics.

A cold male voice said, "Ahem, it doesn't seem to be the right time for this son." Listening closely, I can hear the delicate voice of my daughter's family.

Hearing that someone was disturbing, Su Xingzhi was a little unhappy, and anyone who was disturbed would not be happy.

At this moment, the old bustard twisted his thick waist, panted heavily, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the handkerchief in his hand. tremblingly said, "Gong...... Childe, I'm so sorry, old slave...... Didn't stop people and disturb your good deeds. ”

Su Xingzhi glanced out of the door slightly, saw the bright and heroic cheeks, the dissatisfaction on his face gradually disappeared, and showed a gentle smile, "It's okay, you go down first, it's understandable that you didn't stop it." ”

When the bustard heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had heard some good news, and said that he was retreating.

Seeing the old bustard go down, Su Xingzhi also straightened his clothes slightly, but he still held Nian Yao in his arms, and said to the "uninvited guest" at the door: "I thought that it would take a long time for my cousin to avoid the eyes and ears of all parties and leave the palace today, but I never thought that it would be rude for you to see it so quickly, and it would be rude for you to see it in such a posture." ”

"Tsk, it's okay, this palace doesn't mind, after all, it's my cousin's private life." Ji Qing shrugged his shoulders slightly, without a superfluous expression.

Ji Qing sat down opposite Su Xingzhi, and He Shan respectfully closed the door the moment Ji Qing stepped into the door, and stood motionless outside the door, his left hand constantly groping for the hilt of the sword pinned to his waist.

"The people's daughter Bai Nianyao knocked to see Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent, Your Highness is blessed." Nian Yao broke free from Su Xingzhi's embrace and respectfully bowed to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing was not surprised that Nian Yao recognized her, they had a relationship at the beginning, and then Su Xingzhi should have informed her of her identity, so Ji Qing looked at Nian Yao seriously, and then bowed slightly, "No courtesy." ”

As soon as Ji Qing's words blurted out, Su Xingzhi couldn't wait to continue to hug Nian Yao into his arms, enjoying the soft fragrance of life.

Seeing this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said indifferently: "This white girl is the ultimate goal of my cousin's request for the Duke of the Kingdom to ask for a holy decree." After a pause, Ji Qing said again: "I want to come to my cousin for the past few years, not only traveling, but also making spring snacks every night." ”

Su Xingzhi smiled silently, poured a cup of tea that had already been brewed for Ji Qing, Ji Qing picked up the teacup, put it in front of his lips, exhaled gently, took a sip, and said meaningfully: "I just don't know that my grandfather knows that his precious son is not asking for a holy decree to marry a woman from a family, but an Oiran, it is estimated that he will vomit blood on the spot, that scene, this palace is really looking forward to it." ”

At the mention of Su Huan, a trace of sarcasm crossed Su Xingzhi's eyes, and he quickly hid this sarcasm, and pretended to be angry: "Cousin, is this a Yao who looks down on my son? ”

"Why, any profession in this world is worthy of respect, and to become an Oiran must be a very outstanding woman." Ji Qing said seriously.

"Then thank you Your Highness for praising your uncle's A-Yao so much." Su Xingzhi kissed Nian Yao's forehead.

Ji Qing glanced slightly at Nian Yao, who was leaning on Su Xingzhi's arms, but her expression was as indifferent as a puppet, "Cousin, will you regret making such a decision?" ”

Keeping a woman who is not in her body by her side, but she still loves that woman miserably, even if she gets it, sooner or later she will be injured all over her body, she has had a good relationship with this cousin since she was a child, and she doesn't want to see him secretly hurt himself because of a woman in the future.

Su Xingzhi naturally understood what Ji Qing was thinking, and his arm around Nian Yao tightened slightly, "I will never regret it." ”

Ji Qing glanced at Su Xingzhi deeply, "Okay, since this is the end of your own words, it's time to get to the point, then, the white girl needs to ......"

"Not necessarily. Ah Yao won't say much. For this, Su Xingzhi is still confident.

Hearing Su Xingzhi's reply, Ji Qing didn't say much nonsense, and said concisely: "This palace wants to make some officials in the court lose blood. ”

"Heh, Your Highness's opening, the content is so amazing." Su Xingzhi's brown eyes flashed with a fine light, "Isn't it because I gave you the news of Xiling on the day I wrote before?" ”

"Exactly, it is mainly the officials involved in corruption from the Imperial City Division. Hongu suspects that local officials in the western neighborhood are most likely involved. Floods, people everywhere, why don't you report such an important matter? Nine times out of ten, they are afraid that the real cause of the collapse of the flood control dam will be found out. As soon as he thought of the people in the west who had suffered this, Xi Qing's heart was furious to the extreme.

Especially those corrupt people, who use the court's money and eat the grain of the Great Song Dynasty, still dare to be greedy for the national silver of the Great Song Dynasty? If she is confirmed, she will definitely be severely punished to set an example!

"But there is this possibility, the emperor pulled out a million taels of gold to build this dam, the project is so big, but layer by layer to pull the money to the people below, what hands and feet were moved in the middle, I don't know, Your Highness is not worried." Su Xingzhi said unhurriedly, and drank a glass of wine by the way before speaking, "I have already thought of a good plan for His Highness." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Ji Qingxiao said with interest.

"Why didn't Your Highness hold a charity sale like Emperor Zhi Kangdi back then? This would not only allow the treasury to pay a little less, but also force the cunning fellows to give up their own silver taels and shoot things, and let people spy on them, why not, and besides, I don't believe that my cousin, who is full of money, did not think of this. Su Xingzhi smiled uninhibitedly: "Let my uncle guess, but I'm afraid that the things donated by those people are defective, or they don't want to pay for it, or they are afraid that there will be no reason to hold a charity sale at that time, after all, there are really not many people who know about Xiling's affairs, and if you really use this as a reason, I'm afraid that it will startle the snake." ”

Listening to Su Xingzhi's words that poked in her heart, Ji Qing showed her face again: "My cousin really lives up to the name of 'Dumping Chinese Son', I don't know what you think about this?" Ji Qing pretended to arch her hand.

Su Xingzhi also smiled and returned the salute: "I have won awards, but I just told the truth, right, Nian Yao." ”

Nian Yao nodded and didn't say much.

"Ahem." Su Xingzhi cleared his throat and straightened his face, a calculating light flashed in his eyes, and he habitually became vigilant, "A few days ago, didn't my cousin bring a message, saying that she was cooperating with Candle Yin?" ”
