King Xin said, "An autumn rain and a cold." ”

Huo Yanzhi walked silently, and said in his heart, why did this kid suddenly become poetic?

The king of letters also said: "How can the two girls who are like flowers and jade be born if they are drenched in rain and contracted with wind and cold?" ”

Huo Yanzhi's footsteps paused, and he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

King Xin changed his tone again: "Those two girls are disrespectful, they are really hateful!" It's too cheap for them to die of wind and cold, Brother Huang, it's better to do this, the younger brother will go and end their lives with his own hands! How is it? ”

Huo Yanzhi finally stopped and looked at King Xin quietly.

King Xin's face did not change, and his eyes glanced at the hilt of a guard behind him, as if "as long as the imperial brother you promise the minister, you will immediately draw a knife and split people".

Huo Yanzhi turned around, grinded his teeth silently, and rolled his eyes.

"Go! Bring people back. ”

Unsurprised, King Shin turned his head and explained to the guard, who trotted in the direction he had come.

As soon as they entered the house, it began to drizzle outside, and there was a tendency to gradually get bigger, and the sky instantly darkened a lot.

Xiao Ling patted her chest and said straight, but Zhi Wei saw the emperor who lost his temper inexplicably in front of a stick of incense through the window lattice knocked by the autumn rain.

She was hesitating whether to be obedient or not, and took the initiative to admit her mistake again, but she was worried that the emperor who had been in an unstable temper recently would "take the opportunity" to punish her again.

At this moment, the emperor first glanced at her mud-stained skirt with disdain, and then spoke.

"What are you still stupid about? King Xin has returned to Beijing all the way, and you haven't seen it? Could it be that I want to serve the king of faith by myself? ”

Xiao Ling was still stunned, and Zhi Wei reacted with good training.

She whispered a few words to Xiao Ling, and the two of them went separately to serve the two nobles with different expressions.

In order to avoid the emperor from using the topic to play and continue the accusation last time, Zhi Wei very neatly handed over the more amiable King Xin to Xiao Ling, who was not very good at serving people, and she went to deal with Huo Yanzhi, who was labeled as "trouble" in her heart.

The clothes to be washed are naturally the regular clothes prepared in advance, not the kind of coarse cloth clothes that you had to pretend to wear before, but the new clothes that were directly sent by the Needlework Bureau of the palace a few days ago.

For the errand of changing clothes, Zhi Wei has already honed a cheeky face in the past two months, and now she can complete it without blushing and heartbeat, with a calm face, but in fact, she is crazy and distracted.

But somehow, the combination of the sound of the rain, the ticking of the tiles, and the rustle of the clothes made her feel particularly restless.

Zhi Wei made up her mind not to say more than one sentence, so as not to be found faulty.

As a result, the emperor said to himself: "This rain is good, but unfortunately, the rain in the capital can't go to the west." ”

Well, it seems that although the emperor has a little dark heart and likes to play tricks on them, he is still a good emperor after all, and he is thinking about the victims at this time.

Zhiwei hesitated, but still didn't squeak, and continued to fight against the complicated clothes.

Sure enough, the emperor was displeased: "Dumb? Or are you used to being wild in Zhuangzi, and there are no rules at all? ”

Zhi Wei's eyes were good, staring at the dragon pattern on the belt, and she was embarrassed: "Back to Your Majesty, but the palace rules say that if the master talks to himself, the slave and maid can only pretend that they didn't hear it, and they are not allowed to talk too much and interject without authorization......"

Huo Yanzhi's eyes widened, and it seemed that his tiger eyes were even more distinct.

"Clever tongue! Clever words! ”

Zhi Wei sighed helplessly, and finally let go of the hand that arranged the clothes and took a step back.

"Your Majesty wants to kill or chop, let's just say it. The slave maid has a very small heart, and she can't stand such trembling. I also ask Your Majesty for mercy. ”

Huo Yanzhi was even more surprised: "You, what are you talking about?" What to kill or chop? I-"

Zhi Wei didn't answer, and generously mentioned another topic, and briefly reported her work after coming to Huangzhuang.

"There are more than 9,000 wheat seedlings in the acre of land that Your Majesty and the hundred officials tried to plant, and the slaves and maids have already had a simple communication with most of them. Some of them disliked the fact that the soil was too wet and fertile, and the slaves had marked it with yellow silk thread. At the harvest next year, you can set aside that part of the wheat seed and test it again......"

Huo Yanzhi was so interrupted by her that he almost forgot what he was arguing about.

He sent her over with pure ill intentions, and casually gave her a reason, but I didn't expect that this girl would actually do things decently!

It's a pity that he doesn't have that kind of "ability" now, so he can't verify her words immediately, so he can only keep the wheat seeds for the next year and give them to the old farmers who are good at farming to try planting.

Speaking of being good at farming, Huo Yanzhi suddenly remembered that the craftsman surnamed Li from Shu who was recommended by Xiao Huang not long ago and was proficient in the art of water conservancy. Listening to Xiao Huang's words, Song Zhige's family here seems to have contributed a lot.

He was a little uncomfortable, and turned his head to look out the window at the tireless raindrops.

"Well, for your sake, I can't break my word. Your family's news ......"

In fact, Zhiwei remembered everything the emperor had said. Even though the "promise" sounded more like a joke last time, she still wanted to believe it, and decided to be cheeky and take the initiative to ask. Unexpectedly, it was the emperor himself who brought it up.

But what came out of the emperor's mouth was not her mother's whereabouts, but-

"Actually, a month ago, your brother's squad went missing in the jungles of South Vietnam, and it wasn't until a few days ago that the news came back......"

Zhi Wei raised her head suddenly, her eyes burning, but her voice became very soft and hesitant.

"Your Majesty...... The slave's brother, but, but ......"

For a moment, she could barely hear her own voice, as if it were coming from out of the sky, and the distant sound of the rain suddenly became very close, loud and terrifying as her heartbeat.

Huo Yanzhi suddenly turned around, and when he saw her white face and crumbling appearance, his heart suddenly struck.

didn't have time to think deeply, he walked over with a frown, grabbed Zhi Wei's arm, took it to the circle chair next to him in three or two steps, and stuffed it in without saying a word.

"What do you do like this? Your brother is not dead, he is alive and well! It's really long hair and short knowledge, and it's easy to be shocked at every turn......"

After complaining two sentences of dissatisfaction, he slowly explained the situation of the recent war in South Vietnam.

It turned out that at that time, Song Zhige was ordered to lead a group of small soldiers to try to pass through the dense forest, go around to the rear of the Nanyue royal army to outflank, and catch the other party by surprise. Unexpectedly, a group of people lost their way in the dense forest, not only getting farther and farther away from the Nanyue king's army, but also penetrating deep into the mountain barbarian territory in the west, becoming a prisoner of the mountain barbarian king.

When she heard this, the little blood on Zhi Wei's face disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and Song Zhige didn't know why, but he actually won the trust of the Mountain Barbarian King. The latter not only let him free, but also talked to him about cooperation, expressed his willingness to surrender to the Great Qi court, and even sent hundreds of strong men to escort them out of the village.

According to Song Zhige's original plan, a group of people quietly took a shortcut on the side of the mountain barbarians, went straight to the court of Nanyue, and arrested the old king and a wife and concubine and children who were sitting in the palace!

"Your brother is really lucky, first the godson of the puppet king of South Vietnam was captured by him, and then the puppet king's family was even the pot. The two sons of the puppet king were leading the army to fight outside, and when they heard the news, one surrendered on the spot, and the other led his men to flee across the sea. If it weren't for the previous robbery case, my court would have had one more ordinary minister, but one less general god with the favor of heaven! ”

Huo Yanzhi was a little complacent, and even began to study, waiting for the army to return to the dynasty this time to give this Song lieutenant who abandoned his pen and followed Rong to a few rank of official rank, so as to meet his future plans, and not to be so eye-catching that the officials did not approve it.

Zhi Wei learned that her brother was safe and sound, and even made another contribution, she was so surprised that she didn't know what to say, and she didn't come to her senses until she heard the last half of the sentence.

"Brother is just a fluke and a little luck, where can it be called God's favor? His Majesty couldn't help but praise him too much, but he was afraid of breaking his blessing. ”

Huo Yanzhi snorted twice, just as she was deliberately modest.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, when will the army return?" Zhi Wei saw that he seemed to be in a better mood, so she asked boldly.

Huo Yanzhi glanced at her nobly and coldly, but he was muttering in his heart.

"It's a rare opportunity to pinch this girl's weakness and let her please her a few more times, wouldn't it be more cost-effective?"

The sleepy came to deliver a pillow, and the arrival of King Shin interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Brother Huang, if it gets darker and darker today, look like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight."

Huo Yanzhi didn't care: "Tomorrow is just a day off, if you can't go back, you will stay for one night." How? Someone in your house is waiting for you to go back? ”

King Xin glanced at Zhi Wei, who was about to retreat, with a smile on his face, and a big wry smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Why does the royal brother deliberately expose people's shortcomings? You are now a man with a son, and you are not considerate of your brothers. ”

Huo Yanzhi's tone was even more sarcastic, but his face sank slightly.

"If you are willing, I am afraid that you will have ten or eight sons at this time, so why should you envy others? You are not young anymore, and when Concubine Cui came back to see me, she wanted to mention you, and my ears were almost calloused. I tell you, within this year, or at most next year, you must marry the princess into the palace! ”

King Xin turned his back and pursed his lips, but when he turned his head, he smiled bitterly, and said another remark that "only one scoop is taken for 3,000 weak waters", which provoked Huo Yanzhi to ridicule again and again.

The young prince's face-changing technique made Zhiwei breathtaking, but the emperor's reaction made her a little strange.

In her memory before entering the palace, if ordinary people get a big fat son, everyone in the family will be happy for a while, especially the one who is a father, and he can't wait to have the big words "Lao Tzu has a son" engraved on his face, and when talking to others, he also likes to intentionally or unintentionally lead the topic to "give birth to a son".

After all, your daughter's family always has to get married, and you have to have a son to inherit your family's wealth, not to mention His Majesty the Emperor, who is rich all over the world.

However, how could she vaguely feel that His Majesty had the eldest son of the emperor, and how happy she was not to see it?

If you want to say that the emperor is an introverted person who is moody, or a thin-skinned and shy young man, then that's fine, but he is not that kind of person.

"In this way, the palace is only afraid that something will happen. It's not related to Concubine Shu, or it's related to the eldest son of the emperor. This time he was 'kicked out' out of the palace, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. I just hope that Yuxue and the others are safe and sound, and don't get involved. ”
