Mu Jian squeezed the Great Wizard's hand, and he also found himself suffering from gains and losses. There were too many things in his hand, and he was afraid that his palms would not be big enough to spill out, and that his shoulders would not be strong enough to withstand the weight.

"Without you, what's the use of these things outside the body?"

"You're getting better at talking now, and you're going to make me happy. Do you think you're afraid that I'll curse you, so you're trying to coax me in every possible way? ”

"Why would you curse me? It's too late to love me. ”

"Where do you get your confidence? I'm a great wizard who is half a ghost and half a demon in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know who told Mu Zhan not to rely on me too much, but now it's good, you should break your own words first. ”

"I used to be stupid and ignorant, so you can bear more."

"Have I been protecting you for less?"

The two of them talk about whether they have a match or not, sometimes they count the old accounts of the past, and sometimes they talk about the future. Sometimes talk about others, sometimes talk about yourself.

Mu Jian felt that when she was with the Great Wizard, she was the happiest time, her smile, every move, and every word she said made Mu Jian feel at ease, more comfortable than asking for the soothing incense at night.

So he insisted on keeping the great wizard by his side, and she accompanied him when he worked, and at night Mu Jian and the great wizard also slept together. Just quietly and silently hide it from everyone.

In this way, the great wizard returned to the palace and spent days and nights with Mu Jian.

And Li Qingru, who was in a mess outside the palace and was disturbed by the great wizard, was not living comfortably. She put down her hair and went to Lu Mansion twice, but each time she returned in vain and did not see Lu Yannan.

It's not that she went out to see her friends, but that she has something to do, Li Qingru knows very well in her heart, what friends Lu Yannan has, and there is nothing to do.

Thinking about seeing Lu Yannan, Li Qingru was down-to-earth in his heart. So he left a letter to Lu Yannan, and Li Qingru stopped visiting.

Walking on the streets, watching people coming and going, Li Qingru began to think about whether there was another way out for his future for the first time.

She reads, she goes to college. The eldest princess of the ark loves herself so much, and always says that if she is a man, she will definitely be able to achieve a career.

Why can a woman only be honest and teach her husband and children? Can her life be more exciting?

This is the imperial city where she has lived since she was a child, but she will always be trapped in her own small world. If it weren't for Lu Yannan who brought her to see this fresh and interesting world, would her life have been forever living in the golden hall that was shelved.

At that moment, a very dangerous and dangerous thought appeared in Li Qingru's mind.

She didn't want to marry Mu Jian, because this was not the love she was expecting, and a political marriage trapped two people for the rest of their lives. Respect each other like a guest, restrain two people, why torture yourself like this, torture the person you like like like this?

Loving him and loving himself, Li Qingru knew that he could have another way to go.

She thought clearly, she didn't want to marry Mu Jian, she wanted to let Mu Jian see it in another way

himself, help him sit firmly in this country.

Late at night, Li Qingru waited for a long time, and finally waited for Li Xiang to return home.

came home so late in the stars and moon, not busy with official business, but busy going out to socialize. It's uncomfortable to spend all day drinking with party officials. Since Mu Zhan is gone, the life of the emperor replaced Mu Jian Li Xiang has finally become easier again.

When Mu Zhan was there, he suppressed Li Xiang a little and always made trouble for him, which made Li Xiang miserable. I didn't expect God to treat him well, and this broken day ended after a while, which is gratifying.

The drunken Li Xiang stumbled a little, and there was a person beside him, that is, his second son Li Xingze.

Mu Jian valued Li Xingze and Lu Yanqi very much, so this made the two elders of the court very proud and comfortable.

Li Xiangwei blamed himself for having no beads, and he favored his eldest son for so many years without any results. I didn't expect the second son to be so promising, although he was timid and had no courage, but the honesty and uprightness in his temperament made Mu Jian like it very much.

It is said that he was a son of heaven and a courtier, he is also a veteran of the three dynasties, he is old and weak, he is supporting Li Xingze, and when he can take the lead alone and live up to the lintel of the Li family, he should unload his armor and return to the field.

Li Xiang's hand slapped on Li Xingze's shoulder, as if he was looking forward to the future of this second son, "Xingze, it's your father who ignored you before." The future of the Li family depends on you. ”

Li Xingze hugged his trembling father, and the alcohol had made his body not so obedient.

In fact, Li Xingze didn't like these social scenes, he endured it for a long time and still planned to tell his father the truth, "Father, don't call me for these scenes in the future." I'm still not used to it. ”

"Alas, you are still young, the officials in this court protect each other, if you don't have a good relationship with those ministers, you will be unable to do anything at that time, there are some things you have to learn slowly from your father, and the Li family will test you to support you in the future. When your sister marries Your Majesty, our Li family will also be a relative of the emperor! You just have to deal with Lu Yan riding that stinky boy! No one can suppress you, and we can hold down our Li family! Don't worry, your father will help you get rid of this big trouble before you unload your armor and return to the field! ”

Li Xingze, who listened to these words, was simply creepy, this is his father's officialdom theory? It's simply cannibalistic words.

Regarding his father's words, Li Xingze couldn't agree with any of them. The old master with his brow furrowed didn't even want to hold on to his father.

"Father, in the court, I worked for Your Majesty as an official and for the people of the world. As long as you do a good job of being an official in the court, these unnecessary entertainments are really a waste of time" There are so many folds in Your Majesty's hands, so many things in the court, and my son has to help His Majesty share them. Therefore, in the future, the father should not take his son with him for this kind of thing. Your Majesty doesn't like the ministers to get together, so my father should go less. And why did Lu Yanqi become a thorn in my side? Although Lu Yanqi is a military attaché, he is upright, and his son thinks that he is better than many ministers in the court. Son and General Lu

It's very good, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Li Xiang was a little displeased when he heard his son's objection to him, but the cold wind blew and let him calm down a little. He tried his best to maintain his easy-going tone, but his attitude was obviously different from the happiness just now.

"Either you're young. Some things are still up to Dad. The people of the Lu family look honest and responsible, but they are actually very bad in their hearts. You don't know them, I understand, don't be deceived by their pretending to be honest, Your Majesty was deceived by Lu Ming's old horseman. Speaking of Lu Ming, Li Xiang was still very angry, remembering that he had a good relationship with this old brother before.

Over time, the more you get to know each other, the more you hate each other, especially if something is linked to interests, it must be a bad thing.

"Father, you are you, I am me. You didn't take care of your son from the beginning, and you don't have to worry about him now. Big brother, you have been in charge of him for so many years, and there is no result. It's not a wrong step. It's not a good thing to prove that your ideas are different from ours, and to impose your own ideas on others. And is the third sister really willing to marry His Majesty? As soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and the third sister was pure and tall by nature, how could she like to compete for favor with those women in the harem? Let the third sister marry His Majesty just for the sake of the Li family, right? Ruined the third sister's life for these vain things, father, it's not worth it. ”

"Smack"! With a crisp sound, Li Xiang raised his hand and slapped Li Xingze fiercely.

He was disobedient, and he also poked Li Xiang's sore spot, and his eldest brother Li Wenda was a secret wound that Li Xiang couldn't mention. Li Qingru's marriage was originally the decision he was most proud of, and he had the foresight to decide the marriage between Mu Jian and Li Qingru early.

And now Li Xingze actually vetoed all his things. Veto your own practices, veto your own decisions. How does this make Lee Xiang feel comfortable?

Even though he couldn't stand firmly, Li Xiang still shook off Li Xingze's support angrily. He didn't want to see this son! If it weren't for the Li family, he would be the only one left, why would he put all his thoughts and hopes on him?

Pointing at Li Xingze, Li Xiang scolded, "The wings are hard, are you going to fly?" Do you dare to refute even your father's words? Why just because Your Majesty favors you, you feel that you are so powerful and lawless? No one can afford it? Do you have the right idea? I have been an official in the court for thirty years. Elder of the Three Dynasties, can there be anything wrong with what I said? Are you arguing with me? I don't know what to do! If it weren't for your eldest brother leaving early, do you think I'd be holding you fool? Sooner or later, you fool will be eaten clean by this cannibalistic court! Who will protect my Li family's statement at that time! Qingru marrying His Majesty, that is the blessing of her life, the result of my efforts, and what she thinks about day and night! Even if your brother is useless! As long as Qingru marries into the harem, no one dares to touch our Li family! ”

Li Xiang's eyes widened, and he roared madly at Li Xingze. He was really angry, and his heart was so angry that this slap couldn't untie him

Full of anger.

Li Xingze, who was slapped, touched his cheek, and the hot pain made his tears come out. His father's words were so cruel that he wondered if he was his own.

In his father's eyes, he will always be far away, and only his reputation and appearance of the Li family are the most important. He has endured a lifetime of hard work for the glory of the Li family, and now he wants to press this heavy order on himself, not only on himself but also on his sister.

Is his father affectionate or ruthless?

Li Xingze's double pressure was very indifferent, looking at his almost crazy father in front of him, he didn't know why he was more sober in his heart, and told himself soberly not to become a man like his father.

"Father, you are living too selfishly. The Li family, the Li family, there seems to be nothing more important in the world than the two words Li family. If I had the choice, I really didn't want to be a member of the Li family. General Lu is also a famous family, but he never talks about the Lu family, as long as things are done right, no one will point fingers at you when people stand right. ”

"You rebel!" Li Xiangqi was about to lose his footing, and when he raised his hand, he was about to slap Li Xingze. But Li Xingze didn't dodge, so he gave his face to Li Xiang and asked him to beat, because he felt that he was not wrong. So Li Xingze didn't dodge.

The hand was about to fall on Li Xingze's face, when suddenly a pair of hands appeared and grabbed Li Xiang's wrist.

"Father, don't beat my brother." , Li Qingru stood panting in front of the two people, she held Li Xiang in her hand, blocking Li Xingze in front of her. Looking at his sister's small figure, Li Xingze's eyes were a little moist in a trance.

After seeing his little daughter, Li Xiang suddenly lost his temper. This little daughter has been the most obedient since she was a child, and she is excellent everywhere, which makes him extraordinarily good, Li Xiang dotes on Li Qingru, because he thinks Li Qingru is the most successful child he has cultivated.

"You bastard, you want your sister to intercede for you. What I said today should be thought about when you go back and think about it. I don't think I heard what you said, and I will not hurt you if I do what I say in the future! Li Xiang through Li Qingru. pointed at Li Xingze and scolded with a vicious expression.

But when he looked at Li Qingru, his eyes suddenly became gentle, he looked at Li Qingru with a loving face, and asked softly, "What's wrong Qingru, why are you still walking outside so late?" It's cold at night, and girls shouldn't go around. ”

"Father, I'm waiting for you, I have something to tell you." Gently let go of his father's hand. Li Qingru was slightly hesitant in her dark color, she had lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look directly into Li Xiang's eyes.

"Why are you in such a hurry to wait until so late to say it? Besides, you can do whatever you want, you don't have to tell me otherwise. Growing up, your decisions were right, and your father supported you. It's not early, go back and rest early, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something. Li Xiang patted Li Qingru on the shoulder, under the pretext of wanting to go back to rest first, he drank too much tonight, and after shouting with Li Xingze for a long time, his body already felt a little difficult to support

。

Li Xiang silently turned around and took two steps out.

"Father! I don't want to marry Your Majesty! ”

Li Xiang's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his back looked old. After being silent for a long time, Li Xiang didn't turn around, but laughed twice, "I drank too much tonight, and my ears can't hear clearly." ”

However, Li Qingru stood very firmly behind Li Xiang and continued, "Father, I don't want to marry Your Majesty. That's not where I go, with my talents, there are things more suitable for me to do, and I don't want to find someone to marry. Husband and child. I didn't study for this, I want to be a female officer! I want to get into the office! ”

It wasn't just Li Xiang who was shocked, even Li Xingze, who was standing behind Li Qingru, opened his mouth wide in shock. His sister is really not an ordinary person.

Li Xiang suddenly felt that the world was spinning. His eyes were dark, his legs were weak, and he felt that he must have drunk too much wine to be like this. His eyes were heavy, his body was heavy, and Li Xiang's body, which was out of control, suddenly collapsed in the night.

Li Qingru and Li Xingze rushed over in surprise, but Li Xiang's eyes saw his eldest son who was not angry.

After all this time, I'm still thinking about him.

received Li Qingru's letter, but Lu Yannan did not open it. Three days ago, the subordinate handed over the letter to herself, and looked at Li Qingru on the letter, she didn't dare to open it. So she put the letter on her dresser and read it every day, but she never opened it. She hesitated whether to open it or not, for fear that Li Qingru would play some tricks again, and she would deceive her again when the time came.

Just as he was hesitating to open the letter for the forty-second time, suddenly there was a sound of iron armor colliding outside the house, and the footsteps of the man were very hasty. But Lu Yannan heard who was coming, so he hurriedly hid Li Qingru's letter in his clothes in a panic, and pretended to comb his face in the mirror.

The person who rushed into the house in a rage was none other than his reckless brother.

Because on the battlefield, his brother rescued Mu Zhan from the army, although Mu Zhan did not survive after that. But this heroic savior was still remembered by Mu Jian, so Mu Jian attached great importance to his brother after he took the throne.

Although he is now a celebrity in front of His Majesty, his brother has not changed at all, and he is still occasionally reckless as before. But he kept his heart straightforward.

Lu Yanqi rushed in and saw that Lu Yannan was applying yellow to the mirror. He rushed to Lu Yannan with a playful look, squatted in front of Lu Yannan's dressing mirror, and looked at his indifferent sister with bright eyes.

"What just happened to you? You would never guess! It's the first time I've seen it too! ”

Lu Yannan pretended not to care, just pulled the hairpin in his hand, "Brother is out all day and has seen a lot of things." Don't bully me, I don't have knowledge in the boudoir. Let's say what is going on, I'm too lazy to guess, and I can't guess. ”

"You deserve

I really don't know? Thanks to Li Xingze, he also told me that you and his sister are very close and close, and the two of them often chat and chat together, and they also go to the street to play together. You don't even know that something so big has happened? Is your relationship with Li Qingru really ordinary? Lu Yanqi was puzzled, his face was full of disbelief, as if he felt that Lu Yannan was lying to him.

He always has a slow brain, and he can't read people's faces, let alone guess people's minds, and the worst thing is to guess women's hearts.

Lu Yannan rolled his eyes, and the nameless fire in his heart became even bigger, "Who has a good relationship with Li Qingru?" It's just a nod of the head. What can she tell me? Besides, what's wrong with her, what does it have to do with me? It doesn't matter if others don't know, I and her are incompatible rivals, brother, what do you want? ”

"Oh, that's right." Lu Yanqi nodded, he really believed whatever his sister said. What Lu Yannan said did have some truth.
