Chapter 147: Provocation

When night fell, the Three Princes' Mansion without Bai Shuqin was particularly quiet, and even the lanterns hanging on the beams of the house looked a little lonely.

After returning from the palace, Zhuo Jinxuan began to pack his things for going to Zhou. Sima Liang got the news from his father and rushed over as well.

Other things that need to be brought to Zhou Guo are all prepared, and Zhuo Jinxuan only needs to prepare things for his own use.

He opened the drawer, and inside was a red silk bag with a dragon embroidered crookedly.

When Sima Liang saw the bag, he couldn't help but complain: "Who embroidered this?" How can I embroider earthworms on the bag, it really opened my eyes. ”

"This is Shu'er's embroidery!" Zhuo Jinxuan smiled faintly.

Sima Liang was surprised, he thought that even if Bai Shuqin hadn't experienced a good education, at least the female celebrity would not be too bad. I didn't expect it to be the other way around, she is very knowledgeable and powerful, but this female celebrity is really not as good as a three-year-old child.

"This bag is really unique in the world, and she is the only one who has this talent!" Sima Liang said as an afterthought.

Zhuo Jinxuan opened the bag, and what was placed inside was a yellow peace blessing. This talisman was begged for him by Bai Shuqin and the queen when they went up the mountain to offer incense, and he kept it in a drawer to treasure.

Now that he is going to go far away, he wants to take this with him, just hoping that he can find Bai Shuqin on the road.

Of course, Sima Liang didn't come this time for tips, he had more important things to ask Zhuo Jinxuan, "Father said that this time it was the eldest prince who took the initiative to give up the envoy to the Zhou Kingdom, right?" ”

"He said he would stay and take care of the eldest sister-in-law." Zhuo Jinxuan sneered.

This sentence made Sima Liang laugh, Zhuo Qingyuan's true colors, how could he stay for Zhou Xuan. If it is said that he is reluctant to accept his new concubine, Sima Liang still believes it.

But the envoy to Zhou is a good opportunity for Zhuo Qingyuan, and the eldest princess Zhou Xuan is Zhou Tianmu's daughter, so he should take the initiative to ask for help, how could he take the initiative to give up?

"You think it's weird too?" Zhuo Jinxuan asked Sima Liang.

Sima Liang frowned and thought for a while, "There must be something hidden in this!" The eldest prince is anxious for quick success, don't give up such a good opportunity, this time we have to be careful. ”

"No, I'm going alone this time. You go research gunpowder, the sooner the better! Zhuo Jinxuan said with a serious face.

It is important to study gunpowder, but Sima Liang is still more concerned about Zhuo Jinxuan. Although there will be no major problems with the mission, it is not without princes who have been placed under house arrest because of this in history.

Zhuo Jinxuan knew what he was worried about, and patted him on the shoulder, "Liang, the current situation is not good for me, and there are changes on the second brother's side, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say any more, the current situation in the court is very unclear, although Bai Shaoan has not yet allied with Zhuo Qingyuan for the time being, but this is only a matter of time.

And Zhuo Linfeng's Zhuo Jinxuan has also heard about it, and it is said that he has contacted several ministers, but it is unknown what he is talking about.

"Are you afraid that the second prince will pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?" Sima Liang continued, he thought about it, and felt that it was unlikely, "The body of the second prince, what can you fight for?" ”

"I don't know, it's better to have more eyes than not many." Zhuo Jinxuan suddenly became deep.

Sima Liang felt more and more that Zhuo Jinxuan had matured a lot, if it had been in the past, he would not have thought about it so much, and he would even defend Zhuo Linfeng.

"I know what you mean, but in this situation, let's put down the gunpowder research first!" Although Sima Liang also wanted to study gunpowder, he at least needed the situation to be stable.

Zhuo Jinxuan flatly refused, "No, we must start immediately." I'll take care of this matter when I come back from my mission, so you don't have to worry. ”

Sima Liang wanted to say something, but looking at Zhuo Jinxuan's resolute face, he had no choice but to say, "Understood, leave it to me!" ”

"Thank you for your hard work, this may be my lifesaver." Zhuo Jinxuan said heavily, as if he had reached the point of exhaustion at this time.

Since he decided to develop gunpowder, Sima Liang did not delay, and after returning from Zhuo Jinxuan, he immediately explained the situation to his father, and led people and financial resources straight to the frontier.

It has been at least half a month since I stepped into the border of the Zhou Kingdom, and the sky is clear every day, except for a few clouds occasionally, there is nothing else in the sky except the sun.

Bai Shuqin has also watched a few episodes of the animal world, even in the desert area, there should be a few drops of rain falling in spring.

The sun was fierce at noon, and Rao is Bai Shuqin almost stayed in the room, and he still felt a little tanned. She looked at the obvious black-and-white dividing line between her hands and wrists, and wondered if it was time for sun protection.

Last night, Zhou Tianmu agreed to let Bai Shuqin become Zhou Yusheng's concubine, and he made a holy decree in the morning, and there was an endless stream of people who came to Changle Palace for a while.

There was the prince before the prince, and the queen came to visit in person.

Although it was a visit, most of what Bai Shuqin saw in their eyes was distrust and suspicion. However, Bai Shuqin didn't care, she just needed to achieve her goal.

After sending off the last visitor, Bai Shuqin found an umbrella and went to find Zhou Yusheng.

Zhou Yusheng, who memorized three books in two days, was not to mention how proud he was, and his nostrils were eager to lift to the sky. In the morning, he rarely went to Xiahan Academy, specifically to raise his eyebrows.

However, Zhou Yusheng really didn't dare to be interested in the content of Taifu's teaching, and he just wanted to sleep. After sleeping for two classes and wetting a book with saliva, he swaggered back again.

Before he returned to the dormitory, he saw Bai Shuqin holding a yellow oil-paper umbrella from a distance, walking in the direction of his dormitory.

Zhou Yusheng caught up with Bai Shuqin in three steps and two steps, patted her left shoulder behind her, and the person flashed to the right again. He wanted to tease Bai Shuqin, but who knew that Bai Shuqin turned his head directly from the right.

"Where have you been?" Bai Shuqin asked coldly.

"Don't you have to say hello before you talk to Prince Ben?" Zhou Yusheng put his hands behind his back, and his chest was tall.

Bai Shuqin secretly rolled his eyes and said to him: "The master is respected, but you should ask me for peace!" But I have a lot of them, so I don't care about your rudeness! ”

"Give you a pole, you really dare to climb up! Father said casually, are you still serious? ”

"Oh?" Bai Shuqin raised the corners of his mouth, took out the holy decree he received this morning from the cloth bag he was carrying on his shoulder, threw the umbrella into Zhou Yusheng's arms, opened the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Dancing concubine Bai Shuqin urged the prince Zhou Yusheng to be meritorious, and was specially named the prince and the prince, responsible for all the prince's reading and learning, and admired!" ”

"Father really gave you an edict?" Zhou Yusheng took the edict in disbelief, looked at it carefully, and it was indeed true. His face fell, thinking that Zhou Tianmu was probably old and confused.

He threw the edict to Bai Shuqin, holding his head high in disdain, "I said you, it's almost okay to memorize those three books." Don't try to force me to carry anything else! ”

Zhou Yusheng handed the umbrella back to Bai Shuqin, patted her lightly on the shoulder, and said with a hippie smile: "Mrs. Bai, you are busy, I have something to do, go first!" ”

Bai Shuqin just stood in place and looked at Zhou Yusheng with a smile, and before he turned around and took two steps, he was stopped by Guo Hu.

Guo Hu couldn't help but say: "Prince, the emperor has an order, from today onwards, let me obey everything Taifu Bai's orders, I'm really sorry!" ”

Zhou Yusheng looked at him in disbelief, he hadn't bothered with him about the previous two days, and now he kicked his nose and turned his face completely against him, which made him swallow this breath.

"Will you get out of the way?" Zhou Yusheng threatened Guo Hu with a straight face.

Guo Hu lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry!" He directly grabbed Zhou Yusheng's arm and pressed him with his backhand, raised his head and said to Bai Shuqin: "Mrs. Bai, what should I do next?" ”

"Take it to the study!" Bai Shuqin smiled triumphantly at Zhou Yusheng.

No matter how Zhou Yusheng struggled and scolded, Guo Hu just wouldn't let go of him until he took him to the chair in the study and sat down. In order to prevent him from escaping, Guo Hu also tied his right hand with Zhou Yusheng's left hand under Bai Shuqin's order.

"You're ruthless! If you have the ability, don't let me go! Zhou Yusheng said hatefully. Now Bai Shuqin is a pervert in his eyes, and he takes pleasure in torturing him.

Bai Shuqin didn't bother to listen to him say this, and directly threw out a sentence, "Shut up!" After that, he threw the content planned two days ago in front of him with a thick stack of plans.

"This is to be carried again?" Zhou Yusheng's eyes widened, this is much thicker than the three ways of governing the country that he memorized before, he will definitely not be able to memorize it in ten days and half a month, what is the difference between this and being confined.

Bai Shuqin didn't speak, just took out the top page, spread it out in front of Zhou Yusheng, and pointed it with his index finger.

On the far right side of the page was written three big characters "schedule", Zhou Yusheng lowered his head and looked at it carefully, it was from getting up at the end of the day to resting, everything in the middle was full, and there was only half an hour to rest at noon.

Although Zhou Yusheng doesn't wake up late on weekdays, he definitely has to sleep until he wakes up naturally, and getting up at the end of the day is cruel to him.

What's even more cruel is that after getting up, instead of eating, you have to practice martial arts for an hour, and the meal time is only a quarter of an hour, and then it's all about learning, almost all kinds of content are included.

"Don't you want me to follow this?" The corners of Zhou Yusheng's mouth twitched twice, and then as if someone had taken his strength, he directly lay on the table, and gave up on himself: "God, please lock me up!" ”

"What, the prince of a country, so scared?" Bai Shuqin provoked, "Since that's the case, then you can go and tell the emperor." ”

Although this full schedule made Zhou Yusheng feel a headache, if he really wanted to tell Zhou Tianmu, he still couldn't do it. Even if he dared to say it, Zhou Tianmu would not listen to him, and in the end, he would have to be lectured again.

Thinking that he was dead both horizontally and vertically, he immediately straightened up and raised his hand tied to Guo Hu into the air, "Untie it for me, isn't it just learning, who is afraid of whom!" ”

Guo Hu looked at Bai Shuqin, and when he saw her nodding, he untied the rope.

Bai Shuqin pulled over a chair, sat opposite Zhou Yusheng, and said solemnly, "In the future, get up on time every day, Guo Hu will take you to practice martial arts for an hour." The rest, I'll teach you personally. ”

Zhou Yusheng had a trace of disdain on her face, she was just a dancing girl, even if she read more books, how could she know astronomy and geography. To learn from such a person, he can use a little effort.

However, he was obviously thinking simply, Bai Shuqin was much stricter than those Taifu before him.

To say that Bai Shuqin simply asked him to endorse two days ago, and spent most of her time resting on the side, then now she is simply instilling various ideas for him all the time.

Bai Shuqin firmly believes that you must learn to be a person before learning to do things, although Zhou Yusheng has advantages in personality, but there are also many problems. The first thing she taught him was, "Even if this is a feudal monarchy, you need to know that all men are created equal." ”

"You're saying I'm equal to those eunuch slaves?" Zhou Yusheng's eyes were full of deep disdain.

"That's right!"

"Don't laugh, I'm the prince of a country, how can they be equal to me!"

Bai Shuqin frowned, it seemed that the concept of hierarchy was quite ingrained in Zhou Yusheng's heart. But think about it, after all, this is a feudal dynasty.

"You go with Guo Hu to change clothes." Bai Shuqin instructed Guo Hu.
