Don't care when Li Longji gave Xiao Jiangyuan an order, even if there was no such order at all, since Xiao Jiangyuan said it, she Wu Su'er couldn't stop her anymore, so she had to report it for her and let her in.

Li Longji did not deny Xiao Jiangyuan's statement, one was that Concubine Wu Xian was by his side, he couldn't deny it, and second, he knew that this person must have discovered that he was powerless at some point, so he had to meddle in his affairs and let him know the importance of her existence, he would give her this opportunity, and see how she could help him, and then decide whether to cure her for this great crime of disrespect.

After seeing Xiao Jiangyuan salute, he presented a crescent moon jade pendant that he was familiar with with both hands, and said: "This is the only remaining relic of the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng, and the sage has always asked the ministers to keep it on his behalf." Because of its general texture, the sage hesitated, but now he finally decided to give this thing to the virtuous concubine, and the minister sent it non-stop. Concubine Xian, take a look, do you still like it? ”

Concubine Wu Xian couldn't have liked it more. Although the texture of this jade pendant is not very good, it is a relic of Li Longji's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng, and even Queen Wang never got it, but now she gave it to her, how can this make her not feel comforted. Her heart is much calmer, and her mood is much better: "San Lang has been with Yueniang for a long time. Although it is forgivable, Yueniang did not dare to delay state affairs because of her own selfishness, and asked San Lang to return to Zichen Palace. ”

Li Longji relieved himself a little: "I'll come to see you in the evening." ”

As soon as he stepped out of the Ayaqi Palace, Li Longji's face sank. He asked the other palace attendants to follow him from a distance, and only let Xiao Jiangyuan follow closely by his side, and he was silent for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "You are generous." ”

Of course, Li Longji understood that Xiao Jiangyuan was telling him that although she lived with him, she still did not change her original intention, so that he should not misunderstand or be careful.

Since Xiao Jiangyuan dared to do it, he knew what Li Longji's reaction would probably be. Everything was still expected by her, so she said logically: "It's everyone who is generous." Empress Dowager Zhaocheng only has this one relic left, everyone has let it keep the peace of the minister, and let the minister keep it on behalf of him, the minister is extremely grateful for everyone's kindness, but it is not and should not be owned by the minister after all. Right now, Concubine Xian is the one who needs it the most, even if it doesn't pass through the hands of the ministers, but is given by everyone in person, everyone will not be reluctant, right? ”

Li Longji suddenly stood on his feet and turned to face Xiao Jiangyuan. He glanced down, snorted lightly, and said coldly, "Since you don't want my things so much, what are you doing with that longevity?" ”

Before the words fell, Li Longji stretched out his hand to Xiao Jiangyuan's right wrist, and his movements were fast, but he was still one step slower than Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan was standing with his hands crossed, and when he heard Li Longji's words were wrong, he reacted instinctively. She took a step back, distanced herself from Li Longji, then pulled her cuffs and hid the colorful longevity thread on her right wrist that had already faded a little: "Since it is a longevity thread, you can live a long life only if you wear it." ”

"You ......" Li Longji suddenly smiled, "Okay, I'll let you live a long life, and see what kind of life you can live!" ”

With that, Li Longji brushed his sleeves and left.

Xiao Jiangyuan quietly glanced at Li Longji's back, and smiled as usual. She turned her head and gave Bian Lingcheng a look, and after he led everyone to follow Li Longji, she walked in another direction - speaking of which, she hadn't seen Jingzhong for more than ten days, and she would go to the stable to have a look today.

Jing Zhong was very happy about the arrival of the master, but he kept hiding behind the eagle stable and refused to come out. Xiao Jiangyuan was just about to walk over to take a look, but was eagerly rejected by Jing Zhong.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Xiao Jiangyuan asked.

"In vain...... The apprentices are uglier than ever. Jing Zhong's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

Xiao Jiangyuan keenly sensed that something was wrong with Jing Zhong, and when he saw that he reacted strongly, he didn't step forward. She thought for a moment, and then said as easily as possible: "Jingzhong doesn't like others to say that you are ugly? ”

Seeing that the master did not approach again, Jing Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the master's question, he leaned his back against the wall and lowered his head: "That's not a good word, of course the disciple doesn't like it." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan saw that Jing Zhong didn't pay attention, and quietly took a step forward: "Then Jing Zhong thinks, what is beautiful and ugly? ”

Jing Zhong didn't think about it, so he said: "Master is beautiful, and apprentice is ugly." ”

This answer was completely unexpected by Xiao Jiangyuan. She was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Why is this? ”

"Because...... When others see the master, they often feel joy, but when they see the disciples, most of them are disgusted. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it seriously, and found that the situation seemed to be as Jing Zhong said, and wondered: "Why is this?" ”

"Even the court employs people, they must give priority to their appearance, and people in the world will naturally learn from each other."

Xiao Jiangyuan went one step further: "I have heard people say that each other is born from the heart, but I never think so. Appearance is natural, and no one can control it, but people's hearts are changeable. If you are beautiful, you are a good person, and if you are ugly, you are a bad person, what kind of reason is this, it doesn't make sense. If you have a good heart, no matter how ugly your appearance is, it can also make people happy, and on the contrary, no matter how beautiful you are, it will make people disgusted. It's like the rebellious people back then, some people call her the first beauty in the Tang Dynasty, but so what? After all, she became a rebellious person, a wicked person in the mouths of all, and no one was happy with her, did she? ”

Seeing that Jingzhong was silent or moving, as if thinking, Xiao Jiangyuan took a few steps forward: "Besides, there are no absolutes in everything, and being beautiful does not necessarily mean that everyone loves you, and being ugly may also be convincing, respectful and loved." ”

No one has ever told Jing Zhong such a truth, and Jing Zhong has never thought that there is such an opinion in the world. His heart shook, as if a hand had opened a new door for him, allowing him to glimpse a broader world, he wanted to step out, but his belief was uncertain: "However, there was no such person before......"

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean you don't. Even if you really don't, isn't it good for you to become the first person? ”

"I ...... Is it really possible? ”

"For more than 100 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs have been on the third grade, starting from themselves. Before me, there was no such person. If I had been like you now, I didn't dare to think or act, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

"But Master is Master, I'm just ......"

"I'll just ask you," Xiao Jiangyuan interrupted Jing Zhong's words, "are you either?" ”

All the humiliation he has suffered since childhood to the present day began to reappear over and over again in Jingzhong's mind. Jing Zhong was still afraid, and he still couldn't let go, but his mind gradually calmed down. His fists clenched slowly, and his voice was finally more firm than ever: "I want it." ”

"Then think about it and do it."

Jing Zhong instantly strengthened his confidence and plucked up his courage: "That...... When Master sees his apprentice, will he be happy? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan had already walked to Jingzhong's side at this time: "If I don't like you, why should I take you out of the court and accept you as an apprentice?" ”

Hearing Master's voice ringing beside him, Jing Zhong was startled. There was no time for ecstasy, he hurriedly covered his head with his arm, turned to the side, but was pulled by his clothes by the master.

It was only a moment, which was enough for Xiao Jiangyuan to see Jing Zhong's appearance at this moment: "Although it is a little hard and tiring here, how can it make your nose blue and swollen?" ”

Seeing that the master had already seen it, Jing Zhong put down his arm: "Yes...... It's ......"

Jing Zhong wanted to prevaricate for a reason, but he couldn't lie to the master, but if he told the truth, he was afraid that he would cause trouble for the master, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and he couldn't tell the reason for a long time. At this moment, a loud laugh came from not far away:

"What a good day is today, let General Xiao come, Wang has missed the distance, I hope to forgive me!"

This voice was very familiar to Xiao Jiangyuan, and she immediately understood the reason. Yu Guang saw Wang Maozhong dressed in an autumn-colored big flower and bearded clothes, and walked with a big belly, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help laughing. She first leaned close to Jingzhong's ear and whispered: "Look, even if you are good-looking for a teacher, there are some people who don't like to be a teacher, and this is one of them." ”

Then, she faced Wang Maozhong and arched her hand upright: "General Wang is polite." ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't pay attention to his words at all, Wang Maozhong couldn't help but roll his eyes. As soon as he heard the report from his subordinates that Xiao Jiangyuan himself was coming, he immediately rushed over. Now he is the general of Long Wuwei, and his official position is higher than Xiao Jiangyuan's general of the right prison guard, and this is still his territory, even if he doesn't return the courtesy, no one dares to say anything. The opportunity is rare, and he can't let it go easily.

As soon as he waved his hand, more than a dozen soldiers surrounded Xiao Jiangyuan and Jing Zhong.

Jing Zhong immediately stood in front of Xiao Jiangyuan. He was always bullied when he first came, and he didn't understand why at first, but later he learned that this Wang Mao Zhong had a holiday with the master.

Xiao Jiangyuan raised his eyes, followed Jing Zhong's shoulder, and looked at Jing Zhong's side face. In the past, she was the one who protected him, but now the feeling of being in a different place made her both fresh and happy.

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't have any panicked and frightened looks, even her little apprentice dared to meet him head-on, Wang Maozhong was deeply surprised. Originally, he just wanted to tease Xiao Jiangyuan, but he didn't really want to hurt her, but at the moment, he was seriously angry. Thinking that back then, he almost died at her hands, and in the following years, she repeatedly went against him, the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, so he said: "Since General Xiao is here today, why don't you go with Wang to have a cup of tea?" ”

No matter what today, he must teach her a lesson!

Although Xiao Jiangyuan was happy, she didn't really want Jing Zhong to do anything for her. Jing Zhong had to stay here until he dared to think and dare to get ahead, and she didn't want to make it more difficult for him, so she patted Jing Zhong on the shoulder and stepped forward.

After all, the idle stables are in the palace, and the soldiers guarding them are only equipped with ceremonial knives that serve as decorations, so for Xiao Jiangyuan, no matter how many of them are, they can't pose any threat. And those soldiers knew Xiao Jiangyuan, and when they saw Xiao Jiangyuan coming with a light smile, they didn't dare to really stop him, and they retreated again and again with Xiao Jiangyuan's pace.

Wang Maozhong became even more angry when he saw this: "She is no longer a celebrity around the saint, what are you afraid of her doing?" ”
