"That's it!" When Zhang Wan'er heard this, she was instantly deflated: "Then don't bother again, wait for Ziyu to talk about it when she is free, and when the time comes, we will get together again." ”

"Okay." Zhong Liyi replied to Zhang Wan'er's words, and his arm tightened a little. He also knew the current situation, and now it was rumored that he was competing with King Xian for the throne, and even more, he wanted to use this rumor to sow discord between their brothers.

It's just that I don't know if the second brother will be estranged from him because of this, he has been maintaining the relationship between his brothers, and he has gone to various brothers' mansions to sit down, but the eldest brother and the third brother still made mistakes.

I hope the second brother can be sober, he, like the seventh brother, is not keen on power and status, he also believes that only the second brother succeeds to the throne can always maintain the prosperity of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Zhong Liyi hugged Zhang Wan'er and fell into deep thought, Zhang Wan'er let him hold him, he didn't want to speak, so he was silent with him.

When Qiao Zhen arrived at Ciyun Palace, she saw the picture of the two hugging each other. Seeing them like this, the big girl beside her glanced at Qiao Zhen with some embarrassment, and saw that she was expressionless, so she spoke: "The queen has arrived." ”

Zhang Wan'er was frightened, and hurriedly broke free from Zhong Liyi's embrace, Zhong Liyi raised her eyes and saw her mother coming, so she stepped forward unhurriedly and took Zhang Wan'er's hand and walked to Qiao Zhen: "Yi'er has seen the queen mother." ”

"The concubine has seen the queen mother." Zhang Wan'er hurriedly broke free of Zhong Liyi's hand and stepped forward to salute.

Qiao Zhen glanced at Zhang Wan'er with lowered eyes, and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

"How could the Queen Mother have time to come to this Ciyun Palace?"

"Yi'er, enter the hall and speak." As he spoke, he walked into the hall side by side with Zhong Liyi, and Zhang Wan'er followed behind them with her head lowered. She and Zhong Liyi have been married for a long time, every time she sees the queen, she is terrified, I remember that at the spring poetry meeting, the queen targeted Ziyu everywhere, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to come out.

Fang Cai was also bumped into by the queen and hugged Zhong Liyi, this time the queen must be even more impatient with her, thinking of this, Zhang Wan'er's face became more and more ugly.

"Is there anything wrong with the Queen Mother?" Zhong Liyi glanced back at Zhang Wan'er, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw her submissive appearance.

"Can't I come to see you if it's okay?" Qiao Zhen didn't look at him, walked straight to the hall, and walked to Zhong Liyi's bookcase: "Yi'er has practiced calligraphy recently?" ”

"Nope." Zhong Liyi denied: "Yi'er is just a rough man who practices martial arts, although when he was in Gurong City, General Wei also told Yi'er to practice calligraphy well, but Yi'er refused. ”

"Why don't you practice your handwriting?" Qiao Zhen heard Zhong Liyi mention Captain Shangqing, and her fingertips trembled slightly: "As the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty...... son, need to have both ability and political integrity, both civil and military. ”

"Yi'er doesn't want it, why didn't the queen mother ask Boqian, he is also the prince of the Great Qi Dynasty." Zhong Liyi pursed his lips, what a strange request.

"You're not like him." Qiao Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, can the prince and the emperor be compared?

"What's the difference, we are all the sons of our father's emperor, and we are all the princes of this Great Qi Dynasty......"

"It's just different." Qiao Zhen was furious and slapped her palm on the bookcase. Zhong Liyi trembled with fright, and when she looked back at Zhang Wan'er, she was also frightened.

How could the two be the same, just by virtue of Zhong Li Boqian's mother being a virtuous concubine, and Zhong Liyi's mother being the queen. The status of the two in Zhong Liyue's heart is completely different, Zhong Liyue lets Zhong Liyue do whatever he wants, worry about the future for him, and find a suitable concubine for him, but he doesn't care about Zhong Liyi's life or death.

These are the gaps that Qiao Zhen sees in her eyes.

Qiao Zhen saw that Zhong Liyi lowered his head and didn't speak, and sighed: "Inscribe a poem for the palace, and let the subordinates send it to the Joan of Arc Hall after dinner." ”

After saying this, Qiao Zhen got up and left.

"Congratulations to the queen mother." Zhong Liyi and Zhang Wan'er saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly saluted.

Qiao Zhen strode away, she obviously cared about Yi'er, why was he so alienated from her? Even...... The relationship between their mother and son is not as good as the relationship between Zhang Wan'er and him, Qiao Zhen thought of this, and her expression darkened a little.

Zhong Liyi on the Ciyun Hall thought that his mother asked him to write a poem, and he felt that his head was instantly swollen. Let him spend half a day writing a poem, isn't it embarrassing for the queen mother?

Not to mention that you have to be neat and tidy, you have to consider the words, and you have to worry about accidentally making the queen mother unhappy. After Qiao Zhen left the Ciyun Palace, Zhong Liyi sat next to the bookcase, looking at the only military book on the bookcase, stunned. Zhang Wan'er sat next to him and looked at him with a smile.

"Wan'er, do you know how to compose poetry?"

"Wan'er can dance, if your husband wants to see it, Wan'er will dance for you."

"......" Zhong Liyi couldn't count on Zhang Wan'er, and couldn't help sighing: "Wan'er, you deliberately embarrassed your husband, right?" ”

"Although the husband goes to compose poems, no matter what it is, it is a piece of the husband's heart for the queen mother. If Wan'er participates in it, it will make the queen mother unhappy. ”

Since Zhang Wan'er said so, Zhong Liyi couldn't throw a look at her for help anymore, so he simply buried his head in thought.

In the evening, Zhong Liyi barely wrote a few lines of poetry. Zhang Wan'er came to him and looked at it, she couldn't bear to look at it directly, the six highnesses of the dignified Qi Dynasty wrote crookedly, and there was no right shape. His big hands don't know how to use anything other than a sword.

Even so, Zhong Liyi still sent someone to send his own poem to the Joan of Arc Temple, as for himself, don't be embarrassed. On the Joan of Arc Palace, Qiao Zhen opened the paper and looked at the handwriting on it, barely recognizable. As for the poem above, I really haven't seen it.

Qiao Zhen pursed her lips, smiled and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, imitated Zhong Liyi's handwriting, wrote the content of the correspondence with Wei Shangqing, and checked it carefully, not only to ensure that the content of the communication was not too straightforward, but also to let people read that Yu Shangqing had two hearts, and finally wrote Zhong Liyi's pen at the end of the line.

Qiao Zhen folded the letter, put it in a bamboo tube the size of a finger, and called the big girl beside her.

"Jill, send this letter to Qiao's Mansion." Qiao Zhen handed the small bamboo tube to the big girl beside her, and said coldly: "As for Xiang'er, you know what to do, right?" ”

"If you go back to your mother, the slave knows."

"Let's go down!" Qiao Zhen waved her hand to signal her to leave, a smile spread on the corner of her mouth, Zuo Xiang would insert eyeliner beside her, and she could also use this eyeliner to confuse the public.

Jill hurriedly withdrew from the room with a bamboo tube, and not far away stood Xiang'er in the mouth of the queen's mother, who looked at Jill coming out of the hall while taking care of the flowers in the courtyard. Seeing her look flustered, her hands clenched, her head lowered and walked forward quickly, there must be something boring.

Xiang'er followed Jill all the way to the palace wall, and saw her peel through the grass, revealing a narrow passage large enough for one person to pass through. When Jill completely climbed out, Xiang'er looked at it for a moment before climbing out with her.

The two came to Qiao's Mansion one after the other, and Xiang'er hid not far away to watch Ji'er's every move.

"I'm tired of informing Gongzi Qiao, Jill has something urgent to see."

The subordinates of Qiao's Mansion didn't say much, turned around and entered the mansion. It didn't take long for Qiao Jiang to walk outside the mansion. Ji'er hurriedly stepped forward, took out the small bamboo tube that Qiao Zhen gave her, spread it in the palm of her hand, leaving room for the people on one side to see, and said anxiously: "Young Master Qiao, this thing belongs to the border land, 100,000 urgent, can you succeed in this move." ”

"Got it." Qiao Jiang replied lightly and took the small bamboo tube in her hand.

Xiang'er's every move was all seen by Xiang'er, and when she saw Ji'er turn around and prepare to return to the palace, she hurriedly ran to Zuo Xiang's mansion and told Li Zi about today's events without reservation.

Li Zi stood in front of the window of the study, opened the window to look at the green shade outside the courtyard, listened to the cicadas on the tree trunk, and said to himself: "It seems that the queen can't bear it anymore." ”

I don't know if she wants to destroy Wei Shangqing or use Wei Shangqing? Whether it is destroyed or used, he can use that small bamboo tube to put them to death, what happens after Prime Minister Qiao? In the end, it was still a failure.

Thinking of this, Li Zi straightened up the folds on his clothes, got up and walked in the direction of King Xian's Mansion.

Li Zi, the left minister, was led to the pavilion next to the Liren Pond by Shangguan Tinghan, Zhongli Bojun prepared pastries and drinks and waited for him, Li Zi raised his eyes and glanced at the Liren Courtyard not far away, and his daughter Li Xishuang stood outside the courtyard. Li Zi lowered his eyes, and a shallow smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that King Xian had accepted Shuang'er, so he sat by the pool with him to talk about things.

"Midsummer has passed, and at the beginning of the summer, it is still this pool that makes people feel relaxed." Zhongli Bojun looked at the Qinghe in the pond, and recalled in his mind the encounter with Yu Ziyu a year ago, when she frolicked and played by the pavilion, boated on the pool, and picked lotus roots. Time has passed, the beauty of his memory has been sealed in the past, and he is stuck in place, but he can't wait for the old man.

"King Xian is so elegant, this is not far from the human pool and the courtyard, presumably ......"

"What is the matter with the left minister looking for this king?" Zhongli Bojun interrupted him, he didn't want to mention a word about Li Xishuang's topic, he stayed here, not because of Li Xishuang in the courtyard, if he stayed here, Li Xishuang must not set foot in it.

Li Zi's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, and he reluctantly hooked his lips: "His Royal Highness King Xian is really ...... Iron mask is selfless, only talks about business, and does not mention personal feelings. ”

Shangguan Tinghan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Zi, then turned his back to the two of them, facing the Liren Pool, and looked at Qinghe in the pool.

"This king doesn't ask about the family affairs of Lord Zuo Xiang, and Lord Zuo has no right to ask about the private affairs of this king, we should respect each other." Zhongli Bojun was lukewarm and calmly answered Li Zi's question.

He is much more mature than before, and he is no longer as stunned as before. The situation of a year, it is long, it is not long, if it is long, how can you still feel that Ziyu is in a hurry to come and go? It's short, it's not short, in a year, Wei Ziyu fell in love with him and gave up on him, so many things have happened between them, and the relationship between the two is a long process from beginning to end.
