Chapter 22: I want to be on top

Pingyang lives in such a big house by himself, but he drives the twin brothers to live in other places secretly. Shang Yang was so angry that his eyebrows straightened, but when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a figure quickly shrinking behind a tree.

He thought for a moment, then took a slight step and stood behind the man in the blink of an eye.

The man was about the same height as he was, and his clothes were covered with a layer of dark ash, and the blood on his back was still there, but his hair was black and heavy with the passage of time.

Shangyang patted him on the shoulder, and the man turned around in horror, but it was Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu stared at him uneasily and didn't speak.

Shangyang's heart moved, deliberately lowered his face, and said coldly: "Stinky boy, what are you doing staring at my house?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ah Jiu knelt down and kowtowed: "National teacher, I was driven out by the queen's mother, and now I am penniless and have no place to live, please take me in from the national teacher, the little one is willing to make cattle and horses for the national teacher, as long as there is a mouthful of food, there is a place to live." ”

"The queen mother drove you, you go and beg her, what do you beg me to do?"

Ah Jiu said anxiously: "When Ah Jiu was in trouble, he was rescued by the national teacher, and Ah Jiu didn't dare to forget it. Although you have not done a good job in explaining the small things, please take in the small ones for the sake of the small ones who have no merit and hard work. ”

Shangyang was shocked, Pingyang saved him? Did the two hook up?

While frowning and thinking, Ah Jiu glanced up at him, as if he saw something, his face changed suddenly, his eyes rolled twice, and he lowered his head and continued to plead: "Master National Teacher, the little one didn't take good care of the six princes, and he failed to complete your entrustment, it was a small mistake, it was a small incompetence, I ask the National Teacher for forgiveness." ”

I see.

Shangyang breathed a sigh of relief and handed him the small burden containing silver and clothes: "You take these, go learn a craft, and you can make a living." ”

"Thank you, Master Kunsui." Ah Jiu took it gratefully.

Shangyang wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't help him with doing good deeds for Xuan Liuyao without leaving his name: "I am Shangyang, and this is given to you by the sixth prince Tuo Laofu." ”

Ah Jiu seemed even more moved: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, sir." Mr. Trouble told His Highness that Ah Jiu had been worried about His Highness. ”

"Hmm."

Shangyang floated away, Ah Jiu held the burden, staring gloomily at his distant back, for a long time, he sat on the ground and fell into deep thought.

---------------

Shangyang returned to the palace to pay Xuan Liuyao an errand and lived in seclusion in Qianshan Garden.

Xuan Liuyao also obtained Fu Feiyan's consent, and went to Qianshan Garden to "play" for an hour after school every day, and by the way, he continued to learn spells and some miscellaneous studies with Shangyang.

He was originally an immortal, and he had his own mental power, and he learned these Taoist techniques much faster than ordinary people.

And Qingming Yuan now only has two princes, Xuan Wuyao and Xuan Liuyao, studying.

The two extra bookcases were not removed, and they were empty in the middle, like a wide river, separating She Jingchun and the two little princes from afar.

No one proposed to remove the book case, as if Xuan Sanjin and Xuan Huang still had to come to study.

In the blink of an eye, summer has arrived.

The courtyard wind is often windless, and the heat seems to be firmly on the ground, and it cannot be driven away. Fortunately, a large piece of ice was sent to the warehouse every day to be placed in the house, and the doors and windows were closed tightly, which was a little cooler.

They each brought their own fans.

She Jingchun is a large thin fan, the edge of the fan is wrapped tightly with good silk, the handle of the fan is wrapped with dark red silk thread, and then a small piece of jasper is hung, which looks very chic.

Xuan Wuyao is a large paper folding fan, which was originally blank, and She Jingchun painted it for it. In the painting, there is a flat boat, and the person wearing the lily on the boat holds a fishing rod, and the rod line seems to be hidden, and the world is caught in a blank space. Half a round of golden crows suddenly appeared in heaven and earth, and the bleak air suddenly became magnificent.

What Xuan Liuyao brought was a silk fan, which was taken from Fu Feiyan's house, and was laughed at by Xuan Wuyao several times, but he didn't mind, he still held the fan and fanned the wind.

Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. A fan is a fan, as long as it can fan the wind, it doesn't matter what it looks like.

There are two trees outside the house, and the leaves and cicadas are chirping, disturbing people's minds through the doors and windows, but they remind Xuan Liuyao of the fresh and tender cicada meat. Cicadas are ignorant and ignorant, and catching cicadas is not killing.

He took advantage of the time to sneak out of the house, and Xuan Wuyao peeked out of the crack in the door to look at him.

Although he is two years younger than Xuan Wuyao in this life, because of the memories of his past life, he feels that he is in the prime of life, and this kind of thing is naturally up to him. It wasn't until he was about to climb the tree that he realized that two years younger was two years younger.

The trunks were thick, and the branches were not close to each other, so it took him a great deal of effort to climb up and catch one or two, and when he reached for a third, he suddenly felt dizzy.

He thought to himself, no, he's suffering from heat stroke.

The branches flickered between the hands, and the figures under the trees were blurry, far and near. This person seems to be Shangyang, and it is Pingyang, anyway, the two look almost identical, Xuan Liuyao was about to take a closer look, when his hand suddenly loosened, and he went under the tree.

But he can assure you that he didn't hit the ground with his face.

Because he was halfway down, he was lifted up by a strong force, and he was carried into the house smoothly in a daze, and lay down next to the big ice block, and the cool air suddenly made him sober up a lot.

There were three people standing in front of him, all looking at him in unison. She Jingchun, Xuan Wuyao...... Binh Duong.

can stand here in such a grand manner, it is naturally Pingyang, not Shangyang.

"The Sixth Prince has woken up." She Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with relief.

Xuan Wuyao grinned, revealing a big smile.

Pingyang was expressionless, as if it was not him who saved Xuan Liuyao just now.

But when Xuan Liuyao planted it, it was obviously him who was standing under the tree. So Xuan Liuyao still thanked him after standing up: "Thank you Pingyang National Teacher for saving your life." ”

Pingyang didn't say a word, and suddenly reached out to touch his waist, but as if he was frightened, he immediately retracted his hand.

Xuan Liuyao looked down, and the Shuoyue Sword was hanging on his waist, and the sword body was faintly faint, as if he had just exchanged hands, but it ended silently. He looked up at Pingyang in some confusion, his eyes gloomy but thoughtful.

After a while, Pingyang suddenly said: "Sixth prince, this sword is a gift from Shangyang?" ”

"Yes."

"Don't bring it into Qingming Garden in the future. Even if it is a wooden sword, it will inevitably be damaged during play. ”

Xuan Liuyao naturally refused, and argued: "I have never used a wooden sword to play with people. ”

"Not in the past, hard to say not in the future."

"Not in the future."

Pingyang looked at him angrily, and finally snorted coldly and turned around and left.

She Jingchun's cold sweat broke out again: "Your Highness, if the national teacher doesn't bring it, you won't bring it." ”

"It's just a wooden sword." - This is not what Xuan Liuyao said.

After Xuan Wuyao finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he had talked too much, glanced at the two innocently, sat back in his seat, but turned his head again, stuck out his tongue at Xuan Liuyao, and showed an approving smile.

What is praised is naturally Xuan Liuyao's courage to dare to go against Pingyang Guoshi.

-------------------

On this day, Xuan Shi rarely came to the Wanqing Palace.

Two cups of fragrant tea, sitting across the table. Fu Feiyan felt that such days were becoming more and more rare, and his intuition was one less time. But there are a lot of words between husband and wife, so they can only find something to say.

"It's hot, so the Holy One has to pay attention to his body."

"Yes. I'm going to go to Concubine Mei, thinking that I haven't come to see you for a while, so I'll come and see you by the way. ”

This is like going to the street to buy things, but the store is selling Mei Guifei to send to Queen Fu.

Fu Feiyan couldn't help but collapse his face, and when he saw Xuan Liuyao, who was brought in by Xiangling, he had a happy expression again.

The husband is not as intimate as the son.

Xuan Liuyao didn't care about her thoughts, but only noticed that the back of his father Emperor Xuan's head gave birth to a new black line, which was darker and more solid than the previous one.

Although it was expected, Xuan Liuyao's heart was still tight.

"Come, Liuyao." Xuan Shi beckoned to him.

He settled down, knowing that Xuan Shide liked him more, and Fu Feiyan could also have more grace, so he made a obedient appearance and walked to Xuan Shide's knees, raised his big black eyes, and looked at him ignorantly and lovingly.

Xuan Shide touched his head, and seemed to be quite fond of this little son.

Fu Feiyan also saw it, and was happy. She couldn't help but want to knock on the matter of the heir to the throne. It just so happened that Xuan was in a good mood: "I was happy when I saw Liuyao, and when he grows up, he must be no worse than I was back then, haha." ”

She struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, Liuyao and Shengshang are simply carved out of the same mold." Shengshang, since the absence of Da Yiwu, the position of the crown prince has been vacant, is it time to settle down? ”

Xuan Shide was silent, drank two sips of tea uncertainly, and got up: "I'm gone, I'll come back in a few days." ”

Without waiting for Fu Feiyan to say anything more, he walked away. Fu Feiyan was stunned for a long time, and finally became annoyed, and muttered in a low hateful voice: "Is it difficult to leave the throne to that stupid son of that little cheap hoof?" ”

She stood up suddenly, ignored Xuan Liuyao on the side and walked out.

Xuan Liuyao followed behind, but saw her enter the Thousand Mountains Garden.

In Qianshan Garden, Shangyang obviously didn't expect Empress Fu to come suddenly, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Fu Feiyan smiled kindly: "Mr. doesn't have to be polite. This palace has something to ask for. ”

"Mother, please speak."

Fu Feiyan was not in a hurry to speak, sat down, looked like he was going to talk about homely things, and smiled: "Does Mr. have a family?" ”

"The old man is alone."

"Oh, it's better to live transparently, chic and comfortable, and have no worries."

Shangyang smiled bitterly: "The old man is envious that Niangniang has six princes around her knees and enjoys all the fun of the world." ”

"Yes." Fu Feiyan sighed, showing a sad expression.

"What's on Niang's mind?"

"Yes......" she muttered, "Bengong is very worried when he sees that the Holy Lord's body is not as good as before. ”

Shangyang raised his eyes to look at her, she had lived for hundreds of years, and if she didn't know how to listen to gongs and drums, she would be a little vain: "The sixth prince is the prince of Yan." ”

"But the fifth prince is the eldest prince, and the saint has always favored Concubine Mei."

Shangyang is also in trouble, what can he do? You can't persuade the Holy Lord to favor the queen. But Fu Feiyan stared at him with burning eyes, and he must say that he was ugly. He muttered, "The old man will go and inquire first." ”

He said vaguely, Fu Feiyan was not very satisfied, and said in a low voice: "Sir, at the moment, only the fifth prince is blocking the path of the sixth prince, and this palace knows that Mr. has some magical powers, so it is better to ......"

"Niangniang, there are gods three feet above your head."

"Gods?" Fu Feiyan sneered, "My family has one Wu and two Tong ......"

She suddenly fell silent.

When Mei Ziqing lost Xuan Sanjin and Xuan four years, didn't she say in her heart that God has eyes? Fu Feiyan suddenly felt a little frightened in her heart, she stood up: "Then Mr. Lao Jia will investigate first, if the sixth prince succeeds to the throne in the future, Mr. will be his reborn parents." ”

"Mother's words are serious."

Fu Feiyan quietly left Qianshan Garden. Shangyang sighed: "It's difficult. ”

"If it's difficult, don't do it." Someone suddenly spoke in the empty garden, it was Xuan Liuyao's voice.

Shangyang was startled, looked left and right, and Xuan Liuyao appeared on the side: "Sir, don't worry, I don't really want to be an emperor." ”

"When Your Highness uses the stealth technique, can you make a gesture?" Shangyang didn't answer his topic.

Xuan Liuyao said: "Wave to Mr. next time." ”

"I can't see the beckoning...... His Royal Highness can throw a leaf or something, and the old man knows it. ”

"Yes."
