Previous Chapter: Chapter 186 Sinister

She got up and paced a few steps in the study, and then thought that after all, King Qi did not dare to blatantly say that women in power were "Chicken Si Chen, Disaster to the World", so she could only rumor that "Chenxing Falls", not "Chenxing Confusion" - the former only refers to the woman who has fallen into trouble, not the entire "actress confusing the world". (hua. sugar)

This should not be that King Qi doesn't want to, but the exploits of the previous four generations of empresses are too brilliant, especially the three emperors of Gaozong, Shizong, and Zhaozong, who have created the three major monuments of Tang martial arts, cultural governance, and national wealth and people's wealth. It's all about scolding! Even if the agricultural and industrial and commercial people who don't know a few big words, they also reduce the tax burden of the people because of the "Zhaoxuan Reform Law", no matter which industry the people have received great favors, these generational policies continue, and Zhaozong's handwritten "never add endowment" as a national policy to erect a monument in Taimiao, the small people talk about it, which does not miss the kindness of the Zhaozong female emperor, so that their children and grandchildren will benefit?

Xiao Yan thought of this section and breathed a sigh of relief.

King Qi didn't dare to talk about "the heroine is a disaster for the country", and Li Yuzhen's trouble was reduced by half. The remaining half, I believe that with Li Yuzhen's ability and the support of the saints, King Qi's pseudo-prophecies will not be able to set off a monstrous wave.

Xiao Yan put his mind at ease, sat back on the bookcase, and then read his mother's letter.

She picked up a pen and paper, wrote a reply letter to her mother, and sealed the letter after writing it to be sent out by An Yexi tomorrow morning. So he put down his pen and changed the sheep's hair paper to paint.

She painted incense, ten days ago, Murong Jue sent a maid to send this pot of flowers, Xiao Yan also put it in the study, during the recuperation period, the next day in the study to see phalaenopsis or incense painting.

But so far, none of them can reach the realm of "expressiveness" as she said, and all of them have been invalidated. An Yexi was distressed when she threw away the waste paper basket, and turned around and said that she could sell it at a good price when she got it to the painting shop in the market. Xiao Yan smiled and said, "In the past, Gu often served as a painter, or he didn't pay attention for several years. When asked why, he said, "The beauty or ugliness of the limbs has nothing to do with subtlety; The portrayal of the painting is in this eye", and compared himself, "Although the painting of flowers is lifelike, it is similar to its shape, but it is not wonderful." All things have gods, not only people, but also plants and trees. There is no essence in the painting, no matter how beautiful it is, it is also a laughing party. "My own mother is such a Fang family, and after seeing the flowers painted by my mother, she feels that she can't see people in her paintings.

An Yexi muttered quietly, Gu Changkang is a painting saint, can he compare? dragged his voice and said, "Lang Jun, you are too demanding!" ”

Xiao Yan said seriously: "Keep improving, never be satisfied, and forge ahead." Not only martial arts, but all the ways in the world should be like this. ”

An Yexi said that he was taught, well, the success of his own Langjun is really not accidental.

After painting on this day, after noon as usual, An Yexi had already called her to dinner on the porch.

Xiao Yan put down the brush, looked at it carefully, still shook his head, and drew a big circle on the painting, which meant that it was invalid. So he put down his pen and went out of the room to the hall to clean his hands and eat.

After lunch, she walked in the elm forest outside the courtyard for a quarter of an hour, then went back to the bedroom to change out of the straight jacket she wore at home, changed into a fine white linen shirt and school uniform, tied a leather belt with an autumn water knife, went out of the corridor with boots, and raised her voice to say to An Yexi, who was cleaning up the study, "I'll go, Youzheng is coming back", and then went out of the courtyard and went in the direction of Tibet.

After she was seriously injured in the Great Zhou Heavenly Sword Formation, she has been recuperating in the school hall, and the internal injuries and bone injuries have already healed, but the damage to her divine consciousness must be slowly recuperated. Originally, according to the plan, after she traversed the various formations of the Sword Array Alley, she should have retreated and prepared to break through the Cave True Realm, but now that her divine sense has been damaged, it is obviously not conducive to the breakthrough. King Shen told her to recuperate slowly, and then start to break through after her divine consciousness was completely restored.

Xiao Yan meditated every day to recuperate his senses. However, the recovery of her consciousness was slower than she expected, and sure enough, the damage to her consciousness was the most troublesome, and it was estimated that it would take four or five months to recover to her peak state. For such a long time, of course, she didn't meditate all the time, and her divine consciousness could not grow stronger if she meditated too much, otherwise those Buddhist masters who practiced bitter meditation would be the strongest in divine consciousness. Therefore, in addition to daily meditation, she also practiced body forging boxing, and shouting mountain tricks combined with body forging boxing itself has the effect of refining divine consciousness. In addition, she also finds time every day to practice calligraphy and paint. This is a habit she developed in Qingning Academy, because her mother said "the way of civil and martial arts, one piece and one relaxation", calligraphy and painting condense the spirit and spirit, which is good for self-cultivation, and Xiao Yan has an unexpected discovery this time, the essence, qi, and spirit condensation when practicing calligraphy and painting are also beneficial to the repair of her divine consciousness, which makes Xiao Yan surprised, and has been more persistent since then. Novels./ In addition to this, she also found part of her time to read martial arts books in her collection.

The collection of the Heavenly Courtyard is much more vast than the books of the Xiao Martial Arts Hall, there are only four floors of bluestone, but the area of each layer is very wide, larger than two polo fields, there are hundreds of thousands of martial arts books, and most of the students of the Heavenly Academy are extremely poor all their lives, and they can't read the books here. Of course, it is also necessary to divide the realm, such as the Qi Induction Realm, which can only enter the first layer, the Fusion Realm is on the second floor, the Ascending Extreme Realm is on the third floor, and the fourth layer is the Cave True Realm. As for the book of the Innate Realm? That's not in hiding, but in the Xiantian Pavilion where many students only know its name.

Xiao Yan was already in the late stage of ascending to the Extreme Realm, but he started reading from the first floor steadily. Of course, not all of them are read, according to the bibliography and syllabus, those who have already read it in the Xiao Lecture Martial Arts Hall will skip it; If it doesn't help her, skip it. Even if I was so screened, I finished reading the first layer, and it was late March.

From this day, she went up to the second floor.

The second layer is all fusion realm students wearing green clothes and crotch shirts or green and brown school uniforms, and there are also a few students in the Ascending Realm who are wearing white clothes. Xiao Yan came up in a white school uniform, and most of the students stood in front of the bookshelf flipping through the books or sitting behind the desk to take notes, but some students heard a slight sound and looked up...... Breathing stagnated instantly, and someone fell off the book with a "bang".

The martial artists who practice internal martial arts have far better hearing than ordinary people, and this "bang" is especially loud in the silence - those who look down at the book and take notes all brush their heads and look up, turn their heads to look over...... They were all stunned.

It was a young man with a handsome appearance that could make people forget to breathe, that face, beautiful and exquisite, with slender eyebrows and sideburns, obliquely like a knife, adding a bit of heroism to the beautiful and exquisite, the body was beautiful and straight, even if he was wearing a plain linen school uniform, he was like a jade pine, and that pair of black pupils, like the purest black jade, and like a black pearl soaked in seawater, clear and transparent. The most outstanding thing is the temperament, which is as crystal clear as glass, and as clean and clear as a mountain spring, which makes all female students feel good at first sight. Even male students, while feeling jealous, can't have a bad feeling.

The students were stunned for a while, poking each other's waists and poking their arms, "Who is this Ascending Extreme Realm senior?" ”

Then he replied in a low voice: "I heard that it is the son of Liang Guogong of the Xiao family......"

"Shaw?" Some political and sensitive people were surprised, Tiance Academy had never confiscated the children of the Lanling Xiao family!

"I heard that he is only seventeen years old, and he has already ascended to the late stage of the Extreme Realm!"

"Huh? Seventeen?! "Let's die! The fusion realm students over the age of seventeen were all sad and indignant.

"Really?" There are still people who don't believe it, "It looks like twenty-two three." ”

"Haven't you heard that people are mature and steady? Moreover, even if it is twenty-two or three, in the late stage of ascending to the extreme realm, it is still very powerful. ”

"Alas, people are well-born, there is no way." Someone said pantothenic acid.

"Light is talented, how far can you go?" Someone dismisses this statement.

"Listening to the Sword Array Alley, it's a cockroach that can't be killed......"

"Phew! It's clearly talking about King Kong who can't be beaten...... You're jealous, aren't you? A female student immediately retorted with righteous words.

"Hmph, you women just love to look at faces."

"Shhhh Don't you men like to look at your face? You men are! ”

The male and female students who spoke each glared at each other, snorted, and turned their heads away.

There was also a well-informed gossip here: "I heard that this is His Royal Highness Qin State...... That one. "Eyebrows: you know.

The people around him inhaled the cold air, "Won't it?" ”

It is not uncommon for Tang nobles to have lovers, especially the princesses and county lords of the royal family, and there have been scandals four or five times out of ten. The noble family is also willing to hook up with the noble girls, anyway, it is wishful thinking, as long as the child is not made, no one will investigate deeply. When everyone gets married, this relationship will naturally be broken. are all informed and interesting, and will not let this relationship damage their marriage and family, and of course they will not talk about showing off their previous love history in the circle. Those who do this are breaking the rules and will be ostracized in your circle - after all, no one wants to be in the circle and suddenly hear a certain man or a certain woman boast that they have a "relationship" with a certain woman or a certain man, and this "relationship" person happens to be his wife or husband.

Because of this atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a man or a woman in the aristocratic circle, a lover who has an intimate relationship is nothing, no matter before marriage; Even after marriage, as long as there is no fire in the backyard, everyone next to them should just watch the joke.

But the princess of Qin is different!

Because Li Yuzhen's image is "cold, not close to color", there are many sons of the family who flatter her, and there are also family daughters, but this one is not pretentious, even Cui Qilang, who is the most famous in the family, does not have her blue eyes. There are rumors in the circle of men and women of the family: this man is going to take the sword as his companion.

But now...... A lover actually popped up?

That's a lot of news, isn't it?

"Don't believe me?" The person who said it rolled his eyes, expressing his disdain for the surrounding senior brothers and apprentices who were bent on martial arts and were ill-informed, "The circle in Beijing has spread all over the world, just you...... Ouch, deaf ......"

The people who listened to it suddenly remembered Xiao Qiqi's handsome face without friends, as well as his clean and clear temperament, as if the beautiful jade that was not contaminated with the dirt of the world, and they all suddenly realized with an "oh". Growing up like this, it is really the public enemy of the noble family Langjun, oh no, except for Long Yangjun.

Several Long Yang Jun were already ready to move, but ...... The princess of Qin is on the plate, it's not easy to grab.

There are also a few female students who pricked up their ears to listen to gossip are also choking, and they have already taken a fancy to His Royal Highness Qin Guo, oops...... It's not good to pry the corners.

Xiao Yan's ear power is better than these students, how can he not hear these whispers? scolded Li Yuzhen in his heart, and killed her! But you can't pull every student to clarify that she is not Li Yuzhen's lover, right? I thought about it again, it is better for these people to talk about the scandal between her and Li Yuzhen than to talk about the nursery rhyme that slanders Li Yuzhen, alas!

Xiao Yan thought about it in his heart, but his expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, his feet in plain socks stepped lightly on the spotless paulownia lacquer floor, his clothes moved slowly, like flowing water, calmly walked to the palm counter, made a student salute first, and then took a bibliography from the counter and turned it silently.

Seeing that she was not moved by foreign objects, the palm secretary who managed the second floor nodded slightly in his heart, and knocked on the jade mallet.

"Dang!"

The crisp sound of jade chimes resounded in the building.

The whispering behind Xiao Yan immediately stopped, and all the students returned to everyone, hanging their heads and eyes, reading books, taking notes, and taking notes, all of them were quiet and obedient like quails.

It is said that there were seniors who dared to violate the rules of Tibet, and they were cleaned up very miserably, which was really shocking to those who heard it, and those who saw it were shocked - in short, they can't be messed with!

Xiao Yan picked out the book after reading the bibliography and went to the A-shelf first. She has deep internal strength, and she won't be weak for a day just standing and reading a book. There were students peeking at her in the same bookshelf, and she naturally noticed it, but she didn't pay attention to it. Leaving only a little bit of consciousness outside, he sank into the book.

At two o'clock, she came out of hiding on time. When I returned to the schoolhouse, it was the right time.

After she took off her boots, An Yexi handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and said with a smile: "Grandmaster Murong sent a maid to send a pot of flowers again!" - Pink roses, beautiful. I'll set it up in the reading room first. Does Lang Jun want to put it in the study? ”

Xiao Yan sighed and thought for a while, "Let's put it in the reading room first." "The phalaenopsis and Yuuka in the study haven't been painted yet. Saying that, he handed her the handkerchief, and went straight into the main room, ignoring An Yexi's ambiguous expression of wanting to say goodbye, thinking in his heart that he had already received three pots of flowers from Senior Qianshan, the so-called gift exchange - what gift should I get back?

Would you like to give it to her if you painted these flowers vividly?

If Senior Qianshan doesn't like flower paintings, then carve a small seal and give it to her...... Well, the button is engraved with the flower she sent.

Xiao Yan thinks this is a good idea, both kinds of return gifts need to be attentive, and a gift with heart is a good gift. Sincerity is the most important gift.

After washing, she had dinner, and after a short rest, she meditated in the recessing room, and did not open her eyes until the beginning of the morning. The lights and candles in the room were bright, Xiao Yan got up, stretched his body, and paced to the flower stand, looking at the pot of roses, and gradually became a little distracted.

She remembered what Shen Qingyi said to her in Qingning Courtyard: "Rose is very good. When Yan saw the rose she liked, she gave it to me. ”

Xiao Yan thinks that the blooming roses are very beautiful, but how much she loves them, and she can't - what is "the rose I like"? It shouldn't be a random rose, which she thinks is beautiful.

Also, does my sister really like roses, or does she mean something to do with roses?

Xiao Yan didn't figure it out.

This kind of dumb riddle is so difficult to solve!

She frowned, stretched out a finger and gently touched the delicate petals, thinking: Maybe I should ask Senior Qianshan, does this rose flower have any meaning? Perhaps, starting from this aspect?

What is the meaning of flowers, Qianshan seniors should understand, right? …… People who are so good at raising flowers.

Of course, it is best to ask your mother, and your mother is the best at flowers, and she should also know flowers best. But Xiao Yan felt that with her mother's cleverness, as soon as she asked, she pulled out Shen Qingyi. In front of her mother, she rarely talked about the people of the Xiao family, and she also talked a lot about Changning's grandmother and Anping's mother. My sister is Xiao's daughter-in-law, so it's better not to pull it out. What's more, more importantly, what if this flower has a misunderstood meaning and is misunderstood by A-Niang? - Sister certainly doesn't mean that! At that time, she won't be able to figure it out, and God knows what strange things A-Niang will make up in her brain.

Xiao Yan felt that he couldn't test his mother's discipline in this regard at all.

***

In mid-April, the roses in Hexi also bloomed.

Liang Guogong's Tanzhe courtyard is planted with a cluster of dense roses, full of brilliant branches, it rains lightly in the early morning, the petals are red and wet, and the adjacent two bushes of peonies reflect each other, one is delicate and beautiful, the other is luxurious and beautiful, and the solemn Guogong courtyard renders a piece of vitality.

Xiao Yu paced to the glass window of the study, his eyes fell on the flowers that were blooming just right outside the corridor, and he was a little more happy between his eyebrows, and he turned around and said: "This can spread so fast, but it is only about twenty years, and it will spread to Hexi." Hehe! The last two laughs, with sarcasm, and two points of schadenfreude.

On the red sandalwood bookcase behind him, a piece of bamboo paper pressed with a paperweight was written with the information presented by the Wind Pavilion: The nursery rhyme alluding to Li Yuzhen, the princess of Qin, had been sung in Hezhou.

This infighting in the royal family is really interesting.

Let their family see a good joke!

The director of the Guogong Mansion shook the snow-white goose feather fan, and the body wearing a large-sleeved and wide robe leaned on an arc-shaped table, and the sleeves on the other side were dragged onto the rattan mat, plump, elegant and lazy, and said slowly: "Guogong should not be happy early." Isn't it strange that King Qi behaved like this? ”

It's so blatant!

Completely unscrupulous, the saint guessed that he was making prophecies.

With the king of Qi currently suspended by the saint to "recuperate" and idle at home, and several generals of the Qi royal family have been transferred to Zhuwei to be promoted to "general", a position with a good name but no real power in charge of the army, and there is no one from the king of Qi in the prime minister team of the civil officials, it can be said that there are no soldiers and no power.

And the forged prophecy of slandering the princess of Qin, as long as the saint is willing, is enough to detain the king of Qi for the great crime of "rebellion" and be imprisoned for life.

What kind of confidence does King Qi have to dare to be so blatant?

Xiao Yu and Xiao Cong's brows froze.

The other mastermind, Shi Gu Di, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Unless, the King of Qi has something to rely on...... A reliance that can make the emperor scruples. ”

Both Xiao Yu and his son noticed that he said "emperor" instead of "saint".

To say that the "saint" is the present majesty.

When you say "emperor", that is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, including today's saints.

What is that can make the Tang Emperor scruple to rely on?

Xiao Yu thought of a possibility, and his eyes suddenly froze. followed Xiao Cong and thought of it.

Both father and son looked shocked and shocked.

Xiao Yu slowly sat back in his seat and said, "...... Tiance Academy, does it have a congenital support for King Qi? ”

Moreover, it is the power of the innate grandmaster who can make the saints jealous.
