Chapter 253: The Prince of Fire - Huo Yan
Shen Qiyan nodded, "This policy is good, saving some ministers from relying on the old and selling the old, and demoting her in a bad situation, this method is reasonable." ”
At the mention of this, Shui Miaomiao had a headache, "No, there are a lot of troubles in the things that have just been implemented, as soon as this policy came out, those ministers knew that they were coming for them, and they had been annoying their sisters, and there were all kinds of problems, and even some of them with excellent assessment scores died not long after the results were released, or that they were no longer officials, but fortunately, they have survived now." ”
Shui Miaomiao didn't say it in detail, but Shen Qiyan could roughly guess that it must also be a silent bloody rain.
Shui Miaomiao was very busy today, there were a lot of things to do, and she didn't talk too much with Shen Qiyan, so she went to other places to be busy.
As soon as Shui Miao left, Shen Qiyan let go of Sheng Shiyu's arm, and his pampered expression was just revealed, before Shen Qiyan could speak, Sheng Shiyan took the first step to speak: "Your Majesty the Empress really hurts my heart, she didn't give me the position of the emperor, so I was embarrassed to say my identity in front of others." ”
Shen Qiyan choked, the two looked at each other for two seconds, Sheng Shiwan looked at Shen Qiyan in vain, he didn't hold back his smile, Shen Qiyan raised his hand and patted him on the chest, "Sheng Shiyan, who did you learn from?" Learn all badly. ”
"I learned it for you." Sheng Shivain raised his hand and hugged her thin waist, lowered his head and chuckled in her ear, "It's not that you always say this, I took the first step to learn from you this time and said some words, and you won't be able to say it." ”
Shen Qiyan pursed his mouth and spoke for himself, "How can I be like this? I can not be like you, I am much softer than you. ”
"Really?" Sheng Shivain thought back to the past, and only felt that his tone was gentler than hers, and he didn't dare to say too fiercely to her, but Shen Qiyan looked up at him and said very seriously: "Yes, isn't what I said wrong?" ”
Sheng Shiyu didn't dare to refute, "Mmmm, what you said is right." ”
Yu Zheng sat not far away, watching the two people's every move, holding their foreheads, these two people, they really don't pay attention to the occasion, they are still greasy and crooked together on this occasion, and they don't know what to do.
When the banquet was about to start, most of the people around were seated.
But Yu Zheng's left side is empty.
Yu Zheng was looking around, wanting to see who this vacant seat belonged to, and his mind was quickly corresponding to the personnel of each city.
As I was thinking about it, someone suddenly sat down on my side.
Yu Zheng looked sideways...... It's the water miao.
Yu Zheng quickly turned his head away, looking like he didn't see it.
But Shui Miaomiao took the initiative to speak, "Hello prince." ”
Yu Zheng couldn't ignore it, so he could only turn his head to look at Shui Miaomiao, and said in a slightly stiff tone, "The county lord is good." ”
"Don't you wonder why I'm sitting here?" Shui Miaomiao's personality is very outgoing, as if no matter how many people at the banquet may see her, she just boldly supported her chin and looked at Yu Zheng directly.
Yu Zheng coughed lightly, his body subconsciously straightened up a lot, sat up straight, and asked with a look: "So why is the county lord sitting here?" According to your status, you should be seated. ”
"It was because you were sitting here." Shui Miaomiao's too straightforward words made Yu Zheng's body completely frozen, speechless.
Yu Zheng is really inexperienced in dealing with this kind of thing, he can deal with a bunch of data files, he can also manage the state affairs in charge, he can work hard to learn everything, but ...... On the emotional side......
Yu Zheng was really at a loss.
At that time, when he was in Kyoto, coaxing Shen Qiyan had already consumed all his brain cells, and he couldn't think of any better ideas.
Just when Yu Zheng's whole person was cramped with the naked eye, Shui Miaomiao suddenly laughed, "Lord Wang, don't get me wrong, I mean, you are the prince of Huacheng, and I will naturally take care of you." ”
"Hmph." An obvious angry snort sounded from behind Shui Miaomiao.
Shui Miaomiao heard who this voice was as soon as she heard it, rolled her eyes, shook her head, turned her head, and looked at Huo Yan, the son of the city lord of Fire City who was sitting next to her, "Huo Yan, you have no problem with your brain, right?" Hum what? ”
"Vulgar!" Huo Yan was very angry, "I've never seen a vulgar woman like you!" The words are so ugly, and the whole person doesn't know how to be reserved! ”
"So why are you sitting here?" Shui Miaomiao didn't care what Huo Yan said, anyway, she felt the same way when she looked at Huo Yan, and the two of them were unhappy with each other.
"Why should he sit on top of you, and I sit down below!" Huo Yan pointed at Yu Zheng, and the whole person was very unhappy, "We in Huocheng, we respect men!" He's just a man from Flower City! How much worse is my identity? Why should he sit on top of me? ”
"What I arranged for you is the upper position opposite, who let you sit here?" When Shui Miaomiao arranged the position, she specifically looked at Huo Yan's position, she didn't want to sit with Huo Yan, so she didn't let the two sides sit in one row, and obviously arranged him on the opposite side, but she actually ran to her side.
Huo Yan even questioned her, Shui Miaomiao still felt unlucky.
"It's the foreign envoys who are sitting in this line! On the other side are all your people from Shuicheng, what's wrong with me sitting in this line? ”
Huo Yan grabbed Yu Zheng and didn't let go, "So why is that stinky boy sitting on my top seat?" ”
"How do you speak?" Shui Miaomiao's expression was a little more annoyed, "What do you call a stinky boy?" Who the hell is vulgar? ”
"Shui Miao Miao! I'm asking! Why is he sitting on top of me? Huo Yan didn't care about anything else, and just clung to this point.
Shui Miaomiao snorted, "Don't worry about it, anyway, what I arranged for you is to sit opposite, and you and others have switched places to sit here, so don't ask so much, you changed it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"This is the position where the princess of Huocheng is sitting, I just can't see the people of my Huocheng being bullied, why is the position of my princess of Huocheng lower than the position of the prince of Huacheng?" Huo Yan and Shui Miaomiao quarreled louder and louder, and some of the eyes around them gathered.
Yu Zheng took the initiative to get up, "Fire Prince, come and sit here." ”
Although Yu Zheng is not a person who is actively bullied, this matter is indeed unreasonable, he is indeed not as high as Huo Yan's identity, nor as high as Shui Miaomiao's identity, so naturally he should not sit on the top of the two of them.
But as soon as Yu Zheng got up, Huo Yan sneered, "Coward! ”
"Where women are respected, all are soft bones."
"Huoyan!" Shui Miao Miao suddenly got up and raised her voice to scold, "Could it be that Fire City and Thunder City both think like this?" Do they all think that the men in Water City and Flower City are soft bones? ”
"If you are such a place where you don't accept the respect of women, you don't have to come here to the banquet with false feelings, you can leave now."
"We, Shuicheng, will send a letter to Fire City and Thunder City to clarify the reason."
Although Fire City, Thunder City, Flower City, and Water City all privately feel that there is something wrong with each other's systems, they all feel it in private, and how dare they put it on the table.
Huo Yan didn't expect Shui Miaomiao to make such a big fuss this time, her face was a little heavy, and she couldn't go up or down, and she had no face.
The representative of the envoys sent by Lei Cheng immediately spoke out to represent his position, "County Lord, what are you talking about, our four cities have their own systems, do not interfere with each other, and have been maintained for a long time, our Lei City is respected by men, but we will never think that there is a problem with Water City and Flower City." ”
As soon as the envoy of Huocheng heard that Lei Cheng was dissociating himself, the minister with the highest status hurriedly got up and comforted, "County Lord, you may not know, our prince's beloved concubine has been sick during this time, and her health is not very good, the prince loves him deeply, he always can't sleep well during this time, and he has also drunk a lot of wine, and the prince must have drunk too much wine now, our Huocheng must respect the system of Water City and Huacheng very much, otherwise the prince would not have come here to visit in person today, right?" ”
Shui Miaomiao didn't want to make a fuss too ugly, if Shui Lan knew, Shui Lan would definitely have to educate her again, so she could only take advantage of Shui Lan's failure to come over and quickly solve the problem.
But Shui Miaomiao wanted to frustrate Huo Yan's sharpness again, and it was really unpleasant to see him look arrogant every time.
For as long as Shui Miaomiao can remember, her mother has passed away, and Shui Miaomiao was basically brought up by Shui Lan.
Shui Lan is a woman who is as gentle as water, Shui Miaomiao remembers Shui Lan telling her since she was a child, although Shui Cheng is respected by women, but there are other cities that are not respected by women, although the systems between cities are different, but they still have to respect each other, maintain a good relationship, at least maintain a good superficial relationship.
Under Shui Lan's teaching, Shui Miaomiao has always done this.
It wasn't until one time later that she met Huo Yan.
In the past, other cities sent envoys, and few sent their descendants.
When Huo Yan came over, Shui Lan asked Shui Miao Miao to remember to entertain Huo Yan more, it just so happened that Shui Miao Miao and Huo Yan were the same age, and the two of them could also have some common topics.
Behold......
Shui Miaomiao's negotiation with Huo Yan that day was extremely difficult.
Shui Miaomiao is always very polite when she speaks, and when she outputs her opinions, she always starts from the overall point of view, and does not start from the perspective of respecting women.
Occasionally, after finishing speaking, he would add, "It's my personal opinion, it may have something to do with the respect of women in our Water City, and your Fire City must be the opposite." ”
Outcome......
Huo Yan is not such a person at all.
Before Huo Yan traveled, the family also told her, but when Huo Yan saw Shui Miaomiao's polite and cautious appearance, she only felt that sure enough, a woman is a woman, and she is naturally weak, how can she control the entire city? It's just a joke.
So, Huo Yan said a lot of things that made Shui Miaomiao feel unhappy, but Shui Miaomiao still suppressed her temper and explained to Huo Yan, after all, Huo Yan came to Shuicheng, and Shui Miaomiao was the host, and she was always too polite to speak, which made others feel bad.
But Huo Yan suddenly licked the tip of his tongue cheaply, his eyes were obviously not restless and swept around, and suddenly asked Shui Miaomiao, "I came to Shuicheng with all my might, can you also send me something to take away?" ”
"Yes, there are a lot of specialties in Shuicheng, especially the clothes are very beautiful, you can buy some for your family or the woman you like to wear back, they will be very happy." Shui Miaomiao was going to have someone prepare something for Huo Yan.
Huo Yan suddenly laughed obscenely, "Who wants those torn clothes?" I want people who wear clothes. ”
That was the first time Shui Miaomiao had a cold face at Huo Yan, she really couldn't listen to it anymore, it was vulgar and foul.
"Nope." Shui Miaomiao directly rejected Huo Yan.
Huo Yan saw Shui Miaomiao's unhappiness, but she was still deliberately entangled, and with a big hand, she was all famous and noble girls in Shuicheng, "I think this, this, that, and the one over there are all good, otherwise you can give them to me." ”
Shui Miaomiao's expression was gloomy and terrifying, and she directly hung her face, "Our women in Shuicheng never make concubines for others, and they don't serve the same husband with several women. ”
"Qi. I'll take care of you, they will come back to the Fire City with me in the future, and they will have to follow the rules of my Fire City, I-Bang! Huo Yan didn't finish speaking, he was stretching out his hand and pointing at the country with his mouth open, Shui Miaomiao couldn't bear to press his head and put his head in the rice bowl.
In the end, Shui Miaomiao's hand moved first, and under Shui Lan's gaze, she reluctantly apologized.
Later, at the Huocheng banquet, Shui Miaomiao also went, and angered Huo Yan with the same trick, and then Huo Yan was also stared at by his father and apologized.
Since then, the beam of the two has been completely knotted.
Later, the relationship between the two people was called a poor, which is notoriously bad, both of them were educated by each other's families, resulting in two people not daring to make trouble openly, even if they were making trouble openly, in the end, they all suffered the consequences silently, and they didn't dare to go to the elders to be presumptuous anymore, because the consequences of being presumptuous would be even worse, and they would be beaten and scolded by their families.
The same is true today.
Not only is Shui Miao making a big fuss, if Shui Lan knows that he will be scolded, and so is Huo Yan, if the Lord of Huo City knows that Huo Yan will make trouble as soon as he comes to Shui City, he will make such remarks that may cause war at any time, and he will definitely clean up Huo Yan.
So when Shui Miaomiao looked at Huo Yan, Huo Yan moved her mouth, although she was not convinced, she still had to apologize in front of everyone first, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." ”
The people present were all human spirits, and they all knew that these two ancestors were not in harmony, Huo Yan took the initiative to admit his mistake, even if he revealed it, and after a while, the scene resumed the lively chatting scene.
Huo Yan was also pulled back to his original position by the minister.
Shui Miaomiao looked at such a scene and was satisfied, but she was quite dissatisfied with Yu Zheng's reaction just now, and began to educate him, "Don't be so easy to bully in the future, Huo Yan is the kind of person, you have to be tough, the softer you are, the more he thinks you are easy to handle." ”
"You're right, county lord, but on an occasion like today, you shouldn't do this, there is a method that is far more annoying than you."
Shui Miaomiao became interested and leaned over, "What method?" ”
"It's Huo Yan who knows that you did it, but he doesn't have any evidence to prove it, this is what makes him angry the most, and in the end, he can't come up with any evidence, it will only seem that he is unreasonable."
Yu Zhengyi said, Shui Miaomiao's eyes lit up a little, "I really didn't expect it, Lord Zheng, you turned out to be such a person, I thought you had always been honest." ”
Yu Zheng smiled lightly, picked up the water cup and took a sip, "I've never been an honest person. ”
He just follows the rules, and as long as he does what is clearly stated, he will not do it.
But there are too many things that are not written in the rules, and he can do something casually without being known, so what can he do with him? Anyway, he didn't violate the rules, and the other party had no evidence to prove that he did it.
Shui Miaomiao looked at Yu Zheng like this, smiled from ear to ear, became more interested in Yu Zheng, took the initiative to put the cup up, and touched Yu Zheng's cup, "Then I will have to trouble Prince Zheng to accompany me to play a play in a while." ”
Not far away, Shen Qiyan kept watching the movements of Yu Zheng and Shui Miaomiao, and she looked at her aunt with a smile on her face, Sheng Shivain looked at Shen Qiyan's appearance, and she also smiled dumbly, "This is your brother, you are like your son." ”
Shen Qiyan shook his head and sighed, "I hate iron and steel, why is my brother so repulsive, I am very satisfied with this little county lord, why did my brother say that he didn't like this type at the beginning, maybe he felt good when he came into contact with it, he couldn't be unwilling to contact people from the beginning." ”
"When we first met, we didn't think that we would be able to be together later, it's not that we have been in contact for a long time, and we think it's okay to be together."
Sheng Shi's eyes were vain, slightly dissatisfied, "You said Yu Zheng, Yu Zheng, what are we doing?" Didn't you tell me it was love at first sight? How can this be the case now? ”
"Hey, hey." Shen Qiyan laughed twice obediently, "Isn't it that after being together, I think about the past and think that everything is traceable, but in fact, I just felt at the time, hmm...... It's quite handsome. ”
Shen Qiyan's last sentence was already in vain, but he didn't coax it well, and he was very handsome, and it was obviously not as beautiful as love at first sight.
Sheng Shivain lowered his head and grinded in her ear, "I'll clean you up when I go back to the bedroom." ”
Just a sentence, Shen Qiyan felt that there was a tingling sensation all over his body, and his eyes were more charming and glanced at Sheng Shiyu.
The two of them were in love here, but they didn't know that a Lei City envoy not far away saw the movements of the two of them.
When Shui Lan came to the scene with Shui Lingling in his arms, he regained his gentle and dignified atmosphere, and wore a heavy dress, which looked particularly solemn.
Shen Qiyan looked at Shui Lan's current appearance, and remembered her out-of-control appearance last night, and couldn't help sighing.
Shui Lan must have been supporting the empress in front of outsiders like this, collapsing in places where others can't see, and if she continues like this, it will only be worse for her.
Shen Qiyan was really worried, and only hoped that Shui Miaomiao could figure it out as soon as possible, so that Shen Qiyan could ask Doctor Gu to treat Shui Lan.
Doctor Gu had probably never seen this kind of disease, but Shen Qiyan generally knew that the depression of pregnant women at this time was nothing more than an outlet, and she needed someone to help her fight these pressures together, so that she would no longer have to carry too many things alone.
That's why I chose Doctor Gu because Shen Qiyan felt that it was easy to communicate, Doctor Gu knew the existence of Huaguo, she could teach Doctor Gu, if it was another doctor, it was not easy to communicate.
Because Shui Lingling was still young, not long after she took it out and showed her face at the banquet, she let people hug her.
In about half an hour, Shen Qiyan watched the maid go and say something to Shui Lan, Shui Lan said a few words and left in a hurry, presumably Shui Ling Ling was crying again.
The banquet is mainly a formality, everyone gets together to talk about it, and Shui Lan's absence actually doesn't have much impact.
Shen Qiyan's attention was also focused on the dishes in Shuicheng.
The water city is near the sea, there are a lot of seafood, the size is very large, and the cooking is also extremely delicious.
Shen Qiyan hadn't eaten such innocent seafood for a long time, and he ate it seriously, and he didn't notice when Yu Zheng and Shui Miaomiao left the table.
It wasn't until Huo Yan suddenly entered the banquet hall wet and dripping from the outside that Shen Qiyan raised his head from the dining table.
Seeing Huo Yan's embarrassed appearance, Shen Qiyan thought of his unstoppable appearance just now and didn't hold back his smile, pestle the shoulder of Huo Yan's delirium, cover his mouth and snicker, "Poof...... What's wrong with him? ”
"Maybe I've done too much for lack of virtue and I've been doused ......" Sheng Shi's nonsense hadn't finished speaking, but he saw Huo Yan rush to Shui Miaomiao in a few steps, "Shui Miaomiao!" You're so bold now! Who told you to kick me down the pond? ”
"Huh? What are you talking about? Shui Miaomiao looked dazed, "How could I kick you into the pond?" ”
Saying that, Shui Miaomiao got up, "Quick, someone is here to take the Fire Prince to change into clean clothes." ”
As soon as the waiter walked to Huo Yan's side, he was waved away by Huo Yan's raised hand, and Huo Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at Shui Miaomiao, "Don't pretend to me!" That's what you kicked me! ”
"Fire Prince, it's a little disrespectful for you to point your finger at the county lord." Yu Zheng took a sip of water, raised his eyes leisurely, and glanced at Huo Yan.
"You shut up Lao Tzu, what is your identity? What am I am? Are you worthy to talk to me? Huo Yan said that he was about to pick up the teacup on the side and smash Yu Zheng.
Fortunately, he was quickly stopped by the envoy of the Fire City on the side, and the water was sprinkled on the ground, and the stars were sprinkled on the table in front of Yu Zheng.
"The Fire Prince has such a big temper? My prince of Huacheng is not qualified to talk to you? ”
The empress who has been feasting for so long is not in vain, at least in the area of aura oppression, she has learned perfectly.
It's not just the aura, but also the identity, as soon as the people of Fire City saw that Shen Qiyan had come forward, they hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Huo Yan, "Lord of Flower City, forgive me, we ......"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qiyan directly interrupted, "Drinking too much again?" ”
The Minister of Fire City smiled, and nodded with some confidence.
"Don't let the drunkard out, come out and bite like a dog." Shen Qiyan looked at Huo Yan's obviously unconvinced expression, then looked at Yu Zheng's calm appearance, and spoke directly, "As long as you have evidence to prove that this matter is related to my Huacheng prince, I won't do anything to cover it up, but if you can't show evidence, you must apologize to my brother in public, to the women of Huacheng and Shuicheng, the system has lasted for so long, and there are still people who look down on the women of Huacheng and Shuicheng." ”
Shen Qiyan chuckled lightly and looked at the Minister of Fire City, "What do you think?" Am I reasonable? ”
