Eyes meet the visitor.

Lu Zhaoyi wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

It was because she looked at those eyes and thought it was too good-looking, which made her forget for a moment that the identity of this person was deeply involved.

"You've just taken office and you're going to flee? As a courtier, shouldn't he live in the capital, should he go back to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion? The voice of the person who came was deep and blurted out word by word, which was a little fascinating, but it was also chilling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter, you're coming to the other courtyard again? Heh......" Lu Zhaoyi came back to his senses and forced a dry laugh twice.

She couldn't figure it out, why did Xia Pei always catch her?

The person who came was indeed Xia Pei.

Behind him were the guards and Gong E, and the attendants around him were holding a box covered with red silk.

Unconsciously, those guards also moved boxes of gold and silverware, soft money, and money into the courtyard.

Lu Zhaoyi was immediately stunned, not because he was greedy for gold, silver and money, but because the scene in front of him was so similar to what he saw at the Lu family yesterday.

Thinking of this, her lips trembled a little, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to endure it herself.

Looking at this look of dying, Xia Pei chuckled, "Do you think that these are also dowry gifts?" ”

Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and stared at Xia Pei's eyes, "Isn't it?" ”

He didn't speak, but turned his eyes to the front and sighed, "Announce the edict!" ”

The chamberlain lifted the red silk, opened the box, took out the edict inside, and unfolded it to be read.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi and the shadow guards in the other courtyard knelt down to listen to the edict.

As she listened, her face became more complicated, her brows furrowed, and her heart struggled.

“…… Zilu was engaged in Zhonglang for the chariot and horseman, giving 30,000 money, 5,000 gold and silverware, 600 stones, and rewarding a mansion in Yong'anli, Luojing. ”

After the edict is completed, the chamberlain will give the book and stretch it out in front of her, waiting for her to take it.

After listening to the edict, Lu Zhaoyi was speechless for a long time, slowly stood up, and stared at him with his eyes.

"What? Moved to tears? Xia Pei raised his eyebrows, "Previously, I was busy with Hu Wan and Dongning's suppression of the realm, and I was about to issue an edict and officially appoint him. This is also the origin of today's coming. ”

She gritted her teeth, hung her head, and didn't answer for a long time.

This will is the grace given by Xia Pei, allowing her to live in the capital with peace of mind; Or maybe it's a gift.

is to better serve the emperor in the future; Or punishment, she didn't know, but if this matter spread, I'm afraid the entire abyss would be shaken.

It's just a six-rank official, and His Majesty has to teach the book himself, which is simply a great favor!

Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and took the edict from the hand of the inner attendant.

"How dare you take it, huh?" Seeing that she didn't hesitate to take it, Xia Pei's eyes darkened a little, and he stepped forward in two steps, pinched it, and pushed it closer.

Lu Zhaoyi was forced to tilt his face up, and his eyes flickered with panic when he looked at him, "Your Majesty is so kind to your ministers, spread it, Your Majesty's reputation may be damaged, please respect yourself." ”

In the end, her voice became softer, with a little toughness and some tenderness.

Dead weight?

Xia Pei hooked her thin lips, smiled charmingly, and approached little by little, making her unavoidable.

In the end, she still bent down and escaped from under Xia Pei's arms, standing far away.

"Your Majesty, since the edict has been announced, please return to the palace as soon as possible, and the minister will be in Luojing, waiting for Your Majesty's dispatch." In her eyes, she was flustered, kept her eyebrows down, and never raised her eyes to dare to look at him.

It seemed that she was in high spirits, Xia Pei squinted at her, "I came here this time, and there is one more thing, that is, to meet the military advisor and ask him for advice from the old man." ”

With that, he bypassed her and headed straight to the backyard.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Zhaoyi couldn't hide his panic and blocked in front of him.

"Home, family teacher, he, he has been sick recently, and today outside the city gate, His Majesty has also seen it through the carriage, and it is really inconvenient to see guests." Lu Zhaoyi eagerly explained, but was interrupted by Xia Pei.

"When did I become a guest? I am a king, he is a minister, I am a corporal, I have given enough face to the military division, and Lu Qiniang will stop it again, but it will be unreasonable. ”

Xia Pei said this, which really embarrassed her.

He is right, and if he repeatedly obstructs it, it is rude.

What's more, she is still on the cusp of the storm, and it is really not suitable for more entanglement.

Thinking about it, she pursed her lips, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and then bowed down, "Your Majesty will wait in the hall first, and Qi Niang will go to invite the family teacher." ”

"Okay, I'll wait!" Xia Pei raised his eyebrows and smiled, and under the leadership of Ying Feng, he walked towards the hall.

He hadn't gone far before Ying Yun hurriedly came to Lu Zhaoyi's ear.

"Sir, do you want to call Shadow Rain?"

She pondered for a moment, then nodded in response.

If you want to talk about Shadow Rain, there is a stunt, this skill is not something that ordinary people can master, but requires talent.

In the past three years, whenever Gou Chenzi needs to attend, Lu Zhaoyi has taken her with her, because she is good at ventriloquism and can imitate various sounds.

What's even more jaw-dropping is that it can also imitate human voices, old people, children, and girls, which are simply vivid.

Before she pulled Ying Yu and rushed Xia Pei to the hall, she was stuffed into the hall, and quietly told her not to show her stuff in front of the emperor.

Shadow Rain touched the darkness, and walked to the table behind the screen, and sat down in the table with a weak state.

At this time, Xia Pei had arrived, sitting in the hall, through the screen.

In the room, the candle flame was dim, and Ying Yu lowered his head, not daring to raise his head, and pretended to cough heavily, making the voice of an old man.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, the minister is old, his health is not good, it is inconvenient to see His Majesty, and I am afraid that the sick body will be contaminated with the dragon's body, so in this way, please forgive Your Majesty!"

On the other side of the screen, Xia Pei frowned slightly, looked at Lu Zhaoyi, who suddenly appeared at the door, and then looked at the screen, there seemed to be some surprise in his eyes.

"The military advisor said seriously, at the beginning, the military advisor was the ancestor of his father's southern expedition to the four countries and established an immortal cause, but now he wants to fade out of the government and the opposition, and retreat bravely from the torrent, and the younger generation is extremely respectful."

Xia Pei said, got up and walked forward slowly, just about to get close to the screen.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi, who was standing outside the door, stiffened, and then hurriedly came in and blocked in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the family teacher said that I am afraid that the sick body will infect Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to think about the society and sit back!"

Lu Zhaoyi pleaded softly, not daring to look directly at Xia Pei's gaze again.

Seeing her so abnormal, Xia Pei's eyes were well understood, and then he slowly gathered his anger, sat in place, and no longer stepped forward.

Over there, seeing him sit back with peace of mind, Lu Zhaoyi was also relieved and retreated to the side, but he glanced at Xia Pei with a wave of doubts in his heart.

Is he testing himself?

Xia Pei's eyes suddenly deepened a little, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he raised his eyes to look at the screen, "The younger generation asks the military advisor, although the world has been stabilized, there are still scourges such as Hu Wan and Dongning in the north, and Zhou Yi has also been imprisoned." In the future, how the military advisor is planning, please ask the military advisor for guidance. ”

Shadow Rain behind the screen heard this and nodded secretly.

She had already prepared for this, so she slowly read out the words that Lu Zhaoyi had already written in her sleeves in the posture of an old man.

Hu Wan has gone through Wugong's two northern expeditions, and it is no longer a problem, while the Dongning Army, which is the remnant of the Zhou clan, is a tricky opponent.

In that year, the Xia family fought with the Zhou family, the Xia family narrowly won, and the Zhou family was defeated.

Later, the power of the Zhou clan gradually declined, but the Dongning army still resisted stubbornly, and even formed an alliance with Hu Wan to establish Dongning outside the Guan.

Zhou Qian, the king of Dongning, was ruthless, and as one of the rooms of the Zhou family, he generously accepted the forces from Hebei and Qingdao, which originally belonged to the Zhou family, and recuperated outside the customs.

Now that the climate has become a climate, there is a faint ability to threaten the Great Abyss, so it is difficult to guarantee when they will suddenly burst out and attack the Great Abyss border.

Xia Pei listened quietly, frowning.

He wasn't a fool, how could he not hear what Shadow Rain meant, she was reminding herself to take precautions.

"So, with the words of the military advisor, what should be the choice?" Xia Pei was fascinated by what he heard, and unconsciously, there was a look of expectation in his eyes.

However, he didn't notice that beside him, Lu Zhaoyi's eyes were already lit up when he looked at him.

……

Walking out of the hall, the moon was on the branches, and it was getting late.

Lu Zhaoyi accompanied Xia Pei and walked in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky.

"Qi Niang!"

She heard someone calling herself, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xia Pei's long and narrow phoenix eyes staring at her, her heart beat slightly, and she quickly lowered her head.

This scene fell into Xia Pei's eyes, and the smile in his eyes deepened, and he reached out and gently stroked her hair.

Both of them were looking at each other, a little overwhelmed in the starry night under the moon.
