A few days ago, I almost wore summer clothes, but today the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees, and I heard that there was a strong hail in Chongqing.

------------------- this is a dividing line that reiterates the call for environmental protection-------------

"Jing Yan, you are a skilled soldier in leading troops, I want to hand over the patrol battalion to you for control, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jingyan was extremely surprised for the second time today, so that he didn't reply for a long time after Emperor Liang spoke.

Emperor Liang waited patiently at first. He thought that King Jing's silence was considering how to phrase his gratitude, after all, this kid has been leading troops outside all the year round, and he has little grace, so he is naturally not as responsive as King Yu, and it is a set of sweet words to open his mouth, but it doesn't hurt to wait for him for a while.

But waiting and waiting, Emperor Liang gradually felt that something was wrong.

King Jing's expression became less and less like he was thinking about how to thank him, but whether he should accept the appointment.

Emperor Liang was suddenly unhappy in his heart.

The crown prince and King Yu fought for a red face and a thick neck in the court, and King Jing didn't see it, and the favor that no one could fight for is now given to him, not to mention gratitude, he should be excited, no matter what, it should not be such a hesitant expression.

"Jing Yan, are you afraid of hard work?" Emperor Liang lowered his face and asked coldly.

"The sons don't dare," King Jing hurriedly knelt down, "The father's kindness, the sons and daughters." Just ......"

"Just what?"

King Jing hesitated for a moment, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "It's nothing...... The son is willing to take this position, and in the future, he will fulfill his duties and live up to the trust of his father. ”

Although he didn't say anything, just this hesitant look, Emperor Liang already understood most of it. Although King Jing's indifferent reaction to the Holy Grace Emperor's favor touched his rebellion slightly, on the other hand, this son's obvious reluctance to get involved in the current court party struggle still made him very relieved.

"You don't have to worry too much," Emperor Liang stretched out his hand and patted King Jing's shoulder, "You are a dignified son, and you have a lot of military achievements, what is it to control a small patrol battalion?" With your father's support, see who dares to say anything, if you have grievances in the future, just tell your father to know, and he will naturally call the shots for you. ”

In fact, the reason for King Fangcaijing's hesitation was not as indifferent as Emperor Liang thought. Since he has set the throne as his goal, it is good to have more real power, but the reason why he hesitates is because his own strength is still weak, and he does not want to suddenly appear too favored, so as not to be jealous of the crown prince prematurely. However, Emperor Liang was making a promise in person at the moment, and he was not allowed to have time to go back to discuss with Su Zhe, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it first.

During the whole process, Concubine Jing stood by her side without saying a word, as if it was none of her business at all. It wasn't until the father and son were almost finished talking that she came over with a cup of snow clam soup and said softly, "Your Majesty hasn't taken a nap today, right?" How about taking two mouthfuls of soup and sleeping peacefully here with the concubine? ”

Emperor Liang took the porcelain cup, scooped a bite with a small spoon, and tasted it carefully, less fragrant than the snow clam soup he usually ate, more mellow, with a light sweetness, and a thin layer of aftertaste on the tip of the tongue.

"What kind of pillow is this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is a homemade cotton pillow made by the concubine drying honeysuckle as the core, and then adding plum, osmanthus stamen, and various medicinal materials, wrapped in dried lotus leaves, if Your Majesty likes it, the concubine will sew a new one for Your Majesty."

"Okay, okay." Emperor Liang only felt that his whole body was refreshed, closed his eyes slightly, and opened them again, "I am resting here, Jing Yan has to retreat, your mother and son have a rare feast, don't you let me disturb it?" ”

"Serving Your Majesty is the first duty of a concubine," Concubine Jing smiled calmly, "Your Majesty said this, which made Jing Yan panic. ”

Emperor Liang laughed twice, and said to King Jing, who had retreated to the door: "Jing Yan, I have disturbed you today, so I naturally have to compensate." From now on, you can enter Zhiluo Palace at will to ask your mother for peace, and you don't need to ask for another order. ”

His graces today were one after the other, generous as he had never been, but only this last one received the response he had hoped for. Concubine Jing covered her mouth and smiled, tears flashed in her eyes, and King Jing was even more happy, took off her clothes and bowed down, and kowtowed heavily: "Erchen...... Thank you, Father Emperor Longen! ”

The emperor's preference has always been the most sensitive weather vane in the palace. Although they just came to rest and enjoy some utensils, everyone has realized that Zhiluo Palace is beginning to be favored by the saints. After Emperor Liang left, the belated greetings gradually overflowed, and they never stopped. When she went to the middle palace at dusk to ask for peace, even the queen specially asked about the details of her escort, and took this opportunity to stab Concubine Yue a few words by the way. However, Concubine Yue was well versed in the way of the palace, and she did not show any jealousy, but smiled coquettishly, praised Concubine Jing, and quietly pushed the queen back. The two long-time rivals are like knives and sharp teeth in Chaoyang Palace, and they are murderous when they talk and laugh, but Concubine Jing, who is the origin of the matter, is quiet and silent, and she is wordless and willing to be the background on the side, looking pampered and not shocked, which makes people sigh secretly.

The tide in the palace has not yet spread so quickly to the famous Su mansion. Therefore, when Meng Zhi quietly came in to visit, he only saw Mei Changsu reading a book under the lamp.

"You've been adjusting your body and mood well lately, let me rest assured." The Grand Commander of the Forbidden Army smiled relaxedly, "What are you reading?" Also annotated? ”

"Xiangdi Ji", the human geography in it is detailed and interesting, and it is impossible to get it without field exploration," Mei Changsu replied with a smile while putting down the small pen in his hand, "I have also been to some places, and I am just bored with two sentences of emotion in the essay." ”

Meng Zhi leaned over and took a closer look, and saw that Mei Changsu was in a good mood, and a question that he had wanted to ask for a long time finally came out today, "Your handwriting is very different from before, is it deliberately practiced?" ”

"It's deliberate, it's helpless." Mei Changsu closed the book and put it on the side of the desk, "My wrist strength is vain now, and the strength of the pen has been changed, and it is much easier to change the font and writing." If I were asked to write two more words that were the same as before, I wouldn't be able to write them. ”

Meng Zhi regretted a little that he could ask such a sentimental question, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "I heard that you didn't let Mu Qing ask him to return to Yunnan, right?" ”

"That's right," Mei Changsu poured a cup of tea for the guest and pushed it over, "Mu Qing stayed in Beijing on the grounds that the Empress Dowager was the reason for this, and now that her old man has not passed away for a long time, Mu Qing is in a hurry to leave, first, it will be cool, and second, it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion." He is not in danger now, it is better to stay in peace for a year, take a look at it more, and experience more, it will not hurt. ”

"That's right," Meng Zhi nodded, "Although Mu Qing is not a member of the clan, but the Empress Dowager has always cared for her juniors, so there is no need to say that the royal family needs to say it, even if it is the children of a princess and a vassal king with a foreign surname, which one doesn't call her grandma grandma in private?" It is also appropriate to keep filial piety for her in Beijing for a year. ”

Mei Changsu looked at the lanterns in a daze, and said in a low voice: "She loves children, and the children understand it in their hearts, so even if Mu Qing is in a hurry, she immediately listened to my suggestion to stop the table and agreed to stay in Beijing to keep filial piety." If Nihuang could come, I'm afraid it would have come a long time ago......"

Meng Zhi only felt that he had said a lot of things wrong today, as if he was specially here to spoil Mei Changsu's idle mood, he hurriedly grabbed the teacup and drank it, and changed the topic: "Xia Dong has been quiet recently, and there seems to be no movement. But when I think of her temper, I feel even more palpitating. Do you think Xia Jiang has already noticed? ”

"I'm just going to wait and see what happens. As I have always said, Xia Dong is not a vegetarian, she now knows the truth, no matter how much she admired her master before, after all, she is wary now, and she still has the ability to protect herself, so it is not my turn to worry. Xia Jiang noticed it, or if he didn't notice it, let them fight first, I want to see this process and the attitude of Xia Chun and Xia Qiu. Mei Changsu's tone when he said this seemed to be a little more ruthless than before the national funeral, and there was a piercing chill in his eyes, "Brother Nie's surviving person, shouldn't you disappoint me......

"Xiaoshu," Meng Zhi stared at him, and was about to say something, when Li Gang suddenly broke in from the outside, and said hurriedly: "Sect Master, King Yu is coming in soon, as soon as he gets off the sedan chair, he rushes in, we can't stop ...... at all."

Mei Changsu frowned, knowing that Meng Zhi would be hit when he went out now, so he immediately got up, opened the door of the secret passage, and stuffed the "Xiangdi Ji" on the table to Meng Zhi, pushing him in, and said quickly: "The wronged commander is looking at the book inside, and we will talk when King Yu is gone." ”

Meng Zhi flashed in according to his words, the secret passage door had just been closed, and the footsteps of King Yu had sounded in front of the door, Mei Changsu turned to greet him, and at the same time signaled Li Gang and Zhen Ping, who was following King Yu, to retreat.

"Mr. Su, do you know that the matter of the reunification of the patrol battalion has been decided?" After King Yu came in, he didn't have any opening words, and his first sentence went straight to the point, gritting his teeth and looking gloomy when he said it.

"Oh?" Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows, "Looking at His Highness's appearance, could it be that I was wrong?" ”

"You're not mistaken, my father did not let the military department take over," Yu Wang was angry, "he gave the right of moderation to King Jing." ”

This time, Mei Changsu was really a little surprised, "King Jing? When was this? ”

"It's this afternoon. Without warning, and without His Majesty asking anyone's intentions, it was suddenly decided. ”

"I wonder what His Highness is angry about?" Mei Changsu said lightly, "Isn't it very good to return to King Jing's moderation?" At least he is fair, and His Highness does not have to worry that he will favor the crown prince. ”

"If King Jing is just King Jing, of course I would be happy to see it, but ......" King Yu has a special sensitivity to the enemy, and this feeling is particularly strong at this moment, "Doesn't Mr. Su think that King Jing has been taking risks too fast recently?" From the beginning of the land invasion case, his father's favor to him has increased, and even the reputation of important ministers has become better and better, and his reputation has risen day by day. The few newly used court celebrities seem to have a good impression of him, although there is no sign of forming a party for the time being, but today's King Jing is by no means the King Jing when he first came back last year. ”

Mei Changsu seemed to think about it very seriously and said, "Such signs are indeed a little suspicious. However, if King Jing is ambitious, it will always be difficult to succeed without support, Your Highness, are you sure that he has not formed a party? ”

"According to Prajna's information, it is so. But Prajna has recently ...... Some are disappointing, some are hindsighted, and some are wrong. She suspected that there was a mole, otherwise there wouldn't be so many eyeliners, broken one after another, and there was not even a single mistake or omission. ”

Mei Changsu knocked on the table with his knuckles, and said slowly: "I have never asked much about Miss Qin. But thinking about her eyeliner list should be a very secret thing, how can she not find out if she wants to check the traitor? ”

King Yu's eyes sank and he didn't speak. He knew very well in his heart that Qin Banruo's eyeliner list placed in various mansions was only known to himself, herself, Mr. Kang, the chief master of the palace, and Zhu Hua, the most trusted master of the palace. These people should all be suspicious, needless to say, he and Qin Panruo, Mr. Kang has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and Zhu Hua is his right-hand man in the court, and he is the princess's own brother...... The Princess's ......

Mei Changsu glanced at him with the tail of his eyes, as if he hadn't seen his cloudy and sunny expression at that time, and still said safely: "Your Highness rushed in angrily, is it really just for King Jing to control a patrol battalion?" ”

"Of course it's more than that. The father and emperor also made a decree, and King Jing can enter the palace to save his mother at will in the future, and there is no need to ask for another decree. This is a privilege only reserved for princes, but I am afraid that he, the king of the county, will be promoted to a higher level in a few days and will be side by side with me. Thinking about his father's neglect of Jing Concubine for many years, he even remembered to be a concubine for no reason, these things are put together, it can't be a coincidence at all, and his father clearly intends to support King Jing, just like he ......said back then, "King Yu said this, and suddenly he was a god and swallowed back the second half of the words.

Is it just like he did when he raised you? Mei Changsu lowered his eyes and hid the sneer in his eyes, but he was very interested in pretending not to hear clearly, and leisurely cut the wick with scissors, still light.

"Mr. Su," King Yu was a little annoyed by his indifferent attitude, and couldn't help but speak in a tone that aggravated a little, "This king is not joking, Mr. is such a child's play, as if he didn't take this king's situation to heart!" ”

Mei Changsu slowly put down the silver scissors, turned to look at King Yu, his eyes were as cold as water, enough to extinguish all the sparks that came out of the prince's body, and his voice was as smooth as a waveless ancient well.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, since you have already seen that it was deliberately done by His Majesty, why are you in a hurry?"
