Chapter 99: Family Affairs, World Affairs
"Childe, please don't say Yi'an poetry again~"
Xia Shumin turned his head and said to him solemnly: "Sister Qingzhao is a talented woman, Shumin has already listened to two good words today, and she can't listen to it anymore!" ”
Chen Ji nodded, indicating that I understood.
Just like a foodie meets food, you have to taste it on an empty stomach to eat the most delicious food.
Xia Shumin was about to approach and talk to him, but Chen Ji suddenly turned his head to look out of the door, and frowned.
"Childe?"
Xia Shumin chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but take a few steps closer to him, leaning on him.
"Looks like someone has come into your house."
Chen Ji suddenly felt something, just like the last time the dragon and phoenix flew from the sky, the dragon and phoenix had not yet flown away, and he had already noticed it.
"Isn't it Caifeng? These days, when I eat fairy fruit, it always flutters its wings and comes to me for a few bites. ”
"No, it's still napping in the apple tree, you wait, I'll try to take a look."
Chen Ji's divine perception spreads out, and the phoenix standing on the branch napping is particularly eye-catching, in Chen Ji's eyes, it is a ball of red fireworks that soar into the sky, which can be seen at a glance.
The second one perceived is the real dragon located behind the mountain, it actually has no real form, the entire deep pool and the nearby mountains have the breath of a real dragon, it is estimated that when it is summoned, the dragon will reveal its true form.
Afterwards.
Chen Ji's gaze only then roamed around the county guard's mansion, scanning the others one by one.
In his perception of divine thoughts, there is not much difference between the maid and the guard who practices martial arts, at most the guard moves less quietly when he walks.
Xia Shumin's two twin maids practiced swords in the courtyard in the distance, chattering and talking.
There are at least 300 guards in the palace, scattered all around, guarding the inner courtyard.
Xia Yongcheng is not there, and it seems that he is still working in the city.
It was Xia Yongcheng's mother, Lu Rui, who was chatting with two men in a room, probably entertaining them.
"Entertaining men at night?"
Chen Ji knew from Xia Shumin's mouth that her mother was a heroine back then, but now she is the wife of the county guard, so she has to avoid it no matter what she says.
Unless it is a last resort.
For a while, he couldn't tell the person who sneaked into the Xia family, so Chen Ji focused his attention and listened to what the county guard's wife and the two old and young men were saying.
"Auntie, this time the little nephew came to Yongkang County, which is under the jurisdiction of my uncle, for these three things."
The young man's tone was gentle, and he said respectfully: "The little nephew doesn't dare to hide it, so he tells his aunt everything." ”
Chen Ji smiled dumbly, daring to think too much, it turned out to be the cousin of the little lady.
The room was quiet for a long time, and Lu Rui seemed to be pondering.
"What did Childe see?"
Xia Shumin asked.
"It's nothing, I haven't found anyone yet."
Chen Ji paused and smiled at her: "It turns out that your cousin came to your house as a guest." ”
"Cousin?"
Xia Shumin categorically denied: "Shumin doesn't have a cousin, my father is from a humble background, he is the only son in the family, and there are few relatives...... As for the mother's side, there are no relatives to deal with. Childe misheard, right? ”
"No way, that young man calls your mother aunt, isn't it your cousin?"
"Huh?"
Xia Shumin was stunned.
Chen Ji didn't snoop much on her family affairs, and was about to take her attention away, but she heard the old man say with a slight smile in a sharp voice:
"The seventh princess, I haven't seen her for many years, and the miscellaneous family misses the princess very much when she lived in the palace, but unfortunately since the princess entered the fairy valley and left the capital, she has been separated for more than 20 years, and the miscellaneous family is getting older and older year by year, and I almost can't see the princess who was the most favored by the emperor in the past."
"Princess?"
Chen Ji subconsciously said it, and looked at the little lady with a graceful temperament in front of him.
"Male... Host? ”
Xia Shumin was completely stunned.
Today's holy surname is indeed Lu ......
"Childe, talk to me!"
After coming back to his senses, Xia Shumin pulled Chen Ji to sit down and looked at him with blank eyes.
Her heroine's mother is actually the princess of the dynasty, and this news is no less than a bolt from the blue for her.
If it weren't for the fact that Childe was an immortal, and she heard about this by chance, I'm afraid she wouldn't have known about it for the rest of her life!
"I'm going to listen?"
Chen Ji asked with a smile.
Xia Shumin, who was standing in front of him, nodded with a very affirmative and said, "Son, just listen, and I'll explain it to my mother later." ”
The little lady who was kept in the dark was angry.
"That's fine."
Chen Ji continued to look at the three of them, "Since Shumin is from a royal family, this cousin is estimated to have led troops to Yongkang County's crown prince Lu Huai, I guess it's right, right?" ”
Xia Shumin frowned, "The prince came to visit at night, and he specially chose my father when he was in the city, so my father didn't know about it?" ”
That's where it gets interesting.
Even the husband did not know that his wife was a princess.
"Father-in-law Liu, don't say anything about the most pampered and the most headache."
In the room, Lu Rui's tone was flat, "I lost all the royal face back then, he wanted to kill me, right?" It's just that because my martial arts are barely okay, he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. ”
"Princess, you must have misunderstood."
Gonggong Liu persuaded: "The first emperor has long known that you often sneak out of the palace, but he has been silent, doesn't he love you very much, princess?"
Princess, your martial arts talent is amazing, relying on the palace collection of books to be self-taught, ask the immortal predecessors for more than 30 years have not accepted apprentices, but the princess you still worship in its valley, the first emperor heard about this, but also laughed out loud with relief, scolded that the seven girls have a chance now, it is impossible to go back to the palace to fight with him. ”
Lu Rui fell silent again, not knowing whether he said it was true or false.
Chen Ji heard that this father-in-law Liu was trying his best to ease the relationship between Lu Rui and the royal family, and he should have asked her.
"Father-in-law Liu?"
After Xia Shumin heard about it, he nodded and said, "It should be Liu Xian, the emperor of the Three Dynasties, but I didn't expect him to come to Yongkang City." ”
"A eunuch can also be an emperor? Or the Three Dynasties? ”
Chen Ji was a little surprised, this old eunuch had lived long enough.
"Why not?" Xia Shumin explained: "Not to mention the cultivation of the supreme grandmaster of Gonggong Liu, eunuchs have been in power since ancient times, don't say that Taishi Taifu is called nine thousand years old, and there are many emperors." ”
"Depose the emperor?"
"Neither nor not~"
Xia Shumin's voice was crisp and smiling: "The eunuch is the emperor, and the other is the emperor." ”
Chen Ji understood.
In the last dynasty, the eunuch was standing and the emperor was sitting, and the two corresponded.
Inside the house in the distance.
"What do you think of my aunt?"
The crown prince Lu Huai asked gently, it seems that he has always regarded Lu Rui as his aunt and did not care about the affairs of the previous generation.
"He's making a lot of calculations."
Lu Rui's tone was a little sarcastic: "I want to surrender or kill the true dragon and phoenix, I want to kill a group of people in the rivers and lakes, and I want to find a way to achieve land immortals, why, he also wants to open the gate of heaven and live long enough?" ”
Gonggong Liu's eyes burst into a fine light: "The princess knows about the Heavenly Gate?!" ”
Lu Rui looked at him coldly.
Gonggong Liu looked at her for a long time, then shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "The miscellaneous family has lived for more than 100 years, not for anything else, but to live. Although the miscellaneous family has lived for a hundred years, he is also a layman, how can he avoid vulgarity? ”
"Gonggong Liu also wants to kill the real dragon?"
Lu Rui said flatly.
"Kill the real dragon?"
Outside the lake, a figure standing on an island in the lake chuckled and repeated her words.
In the back house, Chen Ji was also chuckling.
This man who slipped into Xia's house and was dressed in black was finally found by him!
