Feeling the depth of Xiao Jiangyuan's thoughts, Jing Zhong respected her a little more and more, thinking that since the master refused to say, he wouldn't ask. Now that he knew what Master wanted, he tried to do it for him.

In order to be able to adjust the wind and rain smoothly next year, only a few days after the Yuan-Ri Dynasty meeting, Li Longji held a ceremony in the palace to burn the drought.

As the so-called drought is abused, it is like burning. The drought is a mythical monster that can cause drought, and legend has it that it is composed of unjust spirits, and everywhere it goes, there is a great drought. The burning of the drought fish is to let two excellent actors perform a play, one dresses up as a drought fish, and the other plays the judge, and after the judge interrogates the drought fish, he will teach the drought a lesson, and finally burn all the appearance of the drought fish to be completed.

In the short term, Li Longji actually didn't want to hold any ceremony, because the Yuanri Grand Court Meeting a few days ago had already caused him a wave of tosses. Although the Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of the outer court, and the court meeting is also presided over by the prime minister, everything related to him is prepared by the palace supervisor, the internal service province and the Shanggong Bureau.

Although it has been two years since Aye's death, many of the contents have been prepared in accordance with the usual rules and in a step-by-step manner. This time it's good, Xiao Jiangyuan doesn't care, Jiang Jiao, who is in charge of the palace supervisor, is a little messy, and Yang Siqiao, who temporarily leads the inner service province, has no experience before, but the Shanggong Bureau has arranged it quite properly.

On the day of the Yuan Day, all kinds of losses were lost, Li Longji was already overwhelmed by the heavy crown robe that day, and he was in a hurry all the way before arriving at the Hanyuan Palace, and even the chariot was carried crookedly, so that he almost lost his breath at the court meeting.

It is simple to burn the drought fish by fire, and the people who have the conditions can also burn it at home, so Li Longji did not invite the officials to watch the ceremony together. He really couldn't help but worry about what would go wrong again - it wouldn't be because Xiao Jiangyuan was not there, this fire would be able to burn Daming Palace, right?

His fears didn't come true, and he poured out another thing. After seeing the two actors dressed up, the judge said: "Lang Lang Qiankun, the Holy Monarch is in the court, why do you enter the world to harm all sentient beings?" ”

Drought said: "I am on the orders of the prime minister. ”

The judge said angrily: "You are so bold to slander the prime minister? ”

Drought said: "It's not my boldness, it's really the power of the public!" There are more than 300 wronged people, and Song Xianggong has been imprisoned for several times, and the injustice is monstrous, and I have to come out. ”

is a lowly and excellent person, and he dares to use drama to satirize the prime minister of the dynasty, and it is not too much for Li Longji to scold them, but he did not. He acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and let them go on. After the drought was burned, he also ordered someone to reward the two excellent people with some property, and then walked to the Zichen Hall with a smile.

Bian Lingcheng has been by Li Longji's side for a long time, so he can naturally know at a glance that Li Longji is actually very angry.

How could Li Longji not be angry? Song Jing was jointly recommended by Yao Gong and Lu Gong, and he was a virtuous minister he trusted, but now he has become the object of Youling's sarcasm, and he doesn't know anything about his sarcasm. If Xiao Jiangyuan is here, he will be able to inform him as soon as possible, and he can deal with it as soon as possible, so that he will not make such a big joke today.

Thinking of this, he saw that the people around him became more and more unpleasant.

Bian Lingcheng can figure out a few points of Li Longji's thoughts. Seeing that Li Longji suddenly stood still when he walked to the door of Zichen Palace, and glanced back at their palace eunuchs, he hurriedly lowered his head, when he knew that Li Longji was about to be angry with them for a while.

In that case, he would never touch such a mold. Besides, now it is Jingzhong who replaces Xiao Jiangyuan as the first person next to Li Longji, and such good things should be the first to be done. He thought so, and did so. He casually made an excuse to let himself stay outside the hall, and Ren Jingzhong and the others followed Li Longji into the Zichen Palace.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jingzhong to be kicked out.

Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but feel a little proud. Originally, Xiao Jiangyuan was not there, he should have been on top of it, but Jing Zhong came down out of thin air, and he had been unconvinced for a long time. Now Jing Zhong is finished, and it is finally his turn.

Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but look at Jing Zhong with some arrogance, but when he saw Jing Zhong walking straight towards him, he seemed to have a deep meaning while smiling. He felt bad when he landed - he had just done it so without showing any traces, could it be that this hairy boy could see it?

After listening to Jingzhong standing still, he said: "The sage thinks that I am incompetent and can't serve people, so he asked me to go to the idle stable to serve the birds and beasts." Today was supposed to be my night duty, but now I can't, and I have to be on duty again because of my troubles. ”

Bian Lingcheng said quietly: "Don't dare, it's all for the sake of the saint." ”

Jingzhong said again: "I am to blame this time, I know this, but my master is not clear, I don't know." During this period of time, how much the saint missed my master, Bian Lingshi can also see it. My master will definitely come back in the future, and she sees that you have done a good job in the position I have been, and you have won the sacred heart, and I have been driven to the stable, I wonder how my master should feel at that time. ”

If you talk about Jingzhong alone, Bian Lingcheng doesn't care about it, but Xiao Jiangyuan, Bian Lingcheng doesn't dare to be presumptuous. He was about to say something, but Jing Zhong didn't listen, and hurriedly said goodbye, and then left suddenly, leaving him alone to ponder in front of the Zichen Palace.

Jing Zhong has long known that if he continues to be so "incompetent", Li Longji will not be able to stand it sooner or later, and it is inevitable that he will be replaced, and no matter who he replaces, he will say such things. Although that person would not deliberately do a bad job like him because of his words, so as not to provoke Long Yan's anger and lose his life, at least, that person would not do too well and be too prominent, and that was enough.

An excellent talent like his master, ordinary people can barely compete with her after exhausting their mental strength, and if they have reservations and no merit, they may not even be able to compare with one of the ten masters.

The night has fallen. Jing Zhong did not become depressed because he wanted to go to the idle stable to do rough work in the future, but because he no longer had to serve Li Longji, he was much happier.

Master didn't know about this yet, and I was afraid that he thought that he was on duty tonight and wouldn't come back, so he had to quietly surprise Master. Thinking like this, Jing Zhong slowed down.

The closer he got to Xiao Jiangyuan's house, the more strange he felt. In addition to being on duty at night, Xiao Jiangyuan reads every night, so the candlelight in the house is always bright, but tonight is very different from usual. There was also a faint sound of water coming from inside the house, couldn't it be...... Master is taking a bath?

As soon as Jing Zhong realized this, he immediately turned around and wanted to go directly to his room, but as soon as he took a step, he stopped in a ghostly way. His gaze kept wandering, and the moonlight flickered. He seemed to struggle and hesitate, but finally turned his body back.

He already knew Xiao Jiangyuan's house very well, so he knew which window to look through was the bedroom. He hesitated a little longer, and then walked in that direction. Tiptoeing cautiously, he walked to the window and slowly crouched down, leaving only his head in the lower right corner of the window.

Xiao Jiangyuan has always liked light window screens, and light window screens are often easy to break. Sure enough, Jing Zhong only pulled it slightly, and the corner of the curtain was lifted a little by him. And that little was enough for him to see it all.

- It was a scene he never imagined!

Jing Zhong was shocked and scared. He was busy composing himself, holding his breath, and with great effort, he finally left lightly. Finally returned to his room, he sat down on the seat, one hand propped up on the low table in front of him, the other hand still trembling, not knowing where to put it.

He was silent for a long time before he looked at the teapot on the low desk as if he had woken up from a dream. He stared at the teapot for a moment, then suddenly snatched it with one hand and poured a large mouthful of cold tea into his mouth. It was only at this moment that he breathed a sigh of relief.

What did he see? Master turned out to be ...... Is it a woman?

Who else knows about this? The master has been in the palace for so long, and there is no relevant remark in the palace, I think it is because the master is extremely tight. That's good, that's good...... Wait, what about Li Longji, does Li Longji know about this?

Jing Zhong started from the first time he saw Xiao Jiangyuan, bit by bit, thinking back to today, and then thinking of the questions he couldn't figure out recently, it seemed that there was only one explanation that could explain all this. Therefore, the master will be worried, and will want to remind Li Longji of the value of her existence, as well as the way Li Longji looked at the master, and the master's attitude towards Li Longji...... He understood, he understood everything!

In addition to being shocked, Jing Zhong only felt a ripple in his heart that he had never felt before, the feeling seemed warm and sweet, and cold and sour, disturbing him all night.

When the morning drum sounded, he came back to his senses and found that it was the next day.

Every time he finished his night, he would come back as soon as possible, hoping to say hello to Master before he left. If Master is not in a hurry to leave, he can still talk to Master for a while. But today, he didn't know how to face Master.

He was hesitating, but he saw the master coming.

On weekdays, Xiao Jiangyuan would not deliberately wait for Jingzhong to come back before leaving. She waited deliberately for this day, but she didn't see Jingzhong coming over for a long time, she couldn't help but be a little worried, whether something happened to Jingzhong or her family's Alang......

Seeing that Jingzhong was staying in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why didn't you look for me today?" ”

Jing Zhong looked at Xiao Jiangyuan in a daze, and it took a long time to react, stand up, and bow his head: "Apprentice...... The apprentice has no face to see the master. The saint was furious yesterday and demoted the apprentice to the stable. ”

Jing Zhong said and told Xiao Jiangyuan what happened yesterday, and seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan did not have a trace of surprise, he secretly said in his heart: Is it possible...... Master had long known about Song Xianggong's prison, and he also knew that the people were boiling, but for his own purposes, he deliberately did not tell Li Longji?
