Chapter 169: Shangguan's Distress

"You think I'm taking your power?"

Shangguan Wan'er stared at the polo field outside the window with some sadness, behind her, Li Zhen's anger gradually disappeared, but his eyes were still full of dissatisfaction with Shangguan Wan'er's decision, no matter what her intentions were, transferring herself from Xue Huaiyi's case, Li Zhen would never accept it.

"I didn't say you were taking my power, but at least you didn't consult me, you broke your promise, didn't you?" asked Li Zhen aggressively.

"Maybe I don't respect you very much, but why don't you ask why?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked back at Li Zhen, her eyes revealing helplessness and a hint of annoyance that she didn't understand.

"If you want to say it, I'll listen to you patiently. ”

Shangguan Wan'er sighed, "Let's sit down and talk!"

She walked back to her desk and sat down, Li Zhen also sat down opposite her, and he noticed that Shangguan Wan'er's desk was surrounded by a mountain of scrolls, which showed that her usual government affairs were heavy.

The guard Xiao'e served them tea, Shangguan Wan'er took a sip of tea, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, her long eyelashes were slightly raised, and her bright eyes were like jewels staring at Li Zhen.

"Do you know why you were transferred to her personal guard by the Holy Lord?"

"Sheren hinted at me becauseβ€”" Li Zhen was a little speechless.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded slowly, "You understand correctly, because the saint has taken a fancy to you." ”

"She wants me to be the second Xue Huaiyi?"

"Xue Huaiyi may not be, but if you are by her side, you will definitely do something that you don't want to do, I remember asking you, you said you didn't want to!"

Li Zhen was silent, he was unwilling, he only now understood why the guards were saying that he had been favored by the saint, and only then did he understand why the empress's personal guards were so high.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and he looked up at Shangguan Wan'er, "Sheren wants to transfer me because the saint is again-"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "Because in the imperial infirmary, you were very decisive and rational, which made the Holy Lord interested in you again, so I wanted to transfer you out for a while." ”

She picked up a scroll and handed it to Li Zhen, "Look at it for yourself!"

Li Zhen took the scroll and opened it slowly, only to see that Shangguan Wan'er's handwriting was on it, she applied to transfer herself to Bashu to investigate the Qiang rebellion case, but the reply at the bottom was 'not allowed', Li Zhen was stunned, and looked at Shangguan Wan'er incomprehensibly.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled helplessly: "This application was sent by the Holy Lord just now, and she vetoed my plan to transfer you, that is to say, your dissatisfaction can be eliminated, and Xue Huaiyi's case is still in your charge." ”

At this moment, Li Zhen's dissatisfaction and anger have long disappeared, but her heart is full of regret, Shangguan Wan'er is obviously trying to protect herself, but she doesn't understand her hard work and is angry at her.

"Apologize to the departed!" Li Zhen said, looking at her gratefully.

But after hesitating, Li Zhen asked in a somewhat uneasy whisper, "Does the Holy Lord want to summon me?"

"All I can say is not for now. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's pretty white porcelain-like face flew a flush, the reason why the saint let Li Zhen go was because of her, the saint was relying on her, so there was no one to snatch her, but sooner or later the saint would show that there was no between them-

It's just that she didn't want to tell Li Zhen the real reason, she sighed secretly, and whispered to him: "Today at noon, let's dine together, okay?"

Li Zhen's heart was full of gratitude to her, he thought for a while and asked with a smile: "Can you leave the palace?"

"Of course you can, it's just that I'm too busy and rarely have time to leave the palace. ”

"Then I'll invite you to Su Xiangju for lunch. ”

"Just the two of us?" Shangguan Wan'er blushed, her eyes quickly avoided Li Zhen, but she nodded slightly, "Okay!"

She stood up and said, "You wait a little longer, I'll go change my clothes." ”

She walked quickly into the back room, and the maid Xiao'e also hurriedly followed, and after a while, Shangguan Wan'er came out in a men's dress, wearing a black long gauze hat, a lilac robe, white satin trousers, black leather boots, and a leather belt around her waist.

"How's it going?" she spun around and smiled at Li Zhenyingying.

Li Zhen's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "What a handsome guard!"

"You're complimenting me again!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and groaned, "Then let's go!"

She turned back to Xiao'e and said, "With Commander Li protecting me, you don't have to follow." ”

Shangguan Wan'er and Li Zhenwan smiled and walked out of the study together, and the two turned over their horses in the courtyard, and walked out of the palace along the horse road.

"What should we call it?" Shangguan Wan'er asked with a pursed smile.

"You can call me Ah Zhen, or Lao Li, so what do I call Sheren, can I call you Wan'er?"

"I'm such an old woman, it's too beautiful to call Wan'er, you can call me Wanniang!"

"Where are you old, you look like you're only twenty years old, I still want to call you Wan'er. ”

Li Zhen thought that he could have the opportunity to call her Wan'er, and his heart couldn't help but waver, so he smiled cheekily: "Whether you want it or not, I'll call you Wai Wan'er." ”

Shangguan Wan'er is very good at maintenance, she has always been very confident in her appearance, she does look like she is only in her early twenties, and she also knows that Li Zhen is not flattering herself, but Li Zhen can say this, she is really happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Then let it be yours!"

Along the way, many guards greeted Li Zhen, but when they saw the appearance of the guards beside Li Zhen, they were so frightened that they lowered their heads and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Su Xiangju is located in Quanshanfang, which is the closest to the imperial city, and there is an endless stream of officials and guards who come here to eat every day, and the house is full of guests both at noon and night, and the business is particularly prosperous.

Although it was already past lunch time when Li Zhen and Shangguan Wan'er arrived, Su Xiang's residence was still full of guests.

The bartender apologized and said to Li Zhen: "There is no single private room, maybe you can find a seat by the window on the second floor, can you see it?"

Li Zhen turned his head and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, he didn't care, it just depended on whether Shangguan Wan'er was willing, Shangguan Wan'er smiled and nodded, Li Zhen immediately said: "Then find a seat by the window and try to be quiet!"

"Yes, come with me, both of you. ”

Li Zhen walked into the lobby with Shangguan Wan'er, the hall was full of officials and guards, in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, but soon, the noisy chatter and laughter gradually disappeared, and many people looked at Shangguan Wan'er in men's clothes in surprise, and even Li Zhen became the object of everyone's attention.

In the midst of everyone's eyes, Li Zhen and Shangguan Wan'er went up to the second floor and sat down in a seat by the window, and many people on the second floor quietly stood up and probed their brains here.

Li Zhen ordered six or seven dishes, a bottle of good wine, the bartender hurriedly went to finish the dishes, Li Zhen smiled and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "It seems that Miss Wan'er rarely comes out to eat!"

The title of 'Wan'er girl' made Shangguan Wan'er a little unnatural, but she didn't object, and said with a smile: "I usually follow the saint to leave the palace, but I also go out occasionally, the last time you met me in Chang'an, it was a rare time for me to go far away." ”

"Miss Wan'er has only been to the Moon Down Villa once?"

"Moon Hill is not my property. ”

Shangguan Wan'er said lightly: "That is Wu Sansi's manor, he wanted to give it to me, and specially renamed it Yuexia Villa, but I didn't accept it." ”

"I haven't met Wu Sansi yet. Li Zhen smiled.

"You don't need to see him!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Shangguan Wan'er's mouth, and she said unceremoniously: "He is an unreliable person, and his character is despicable, but his daughter Wu Lilac is not bad, but it is a pity that she married a sick man and was widowed after less than three years of marriage." ”

"But I seem to remember that in the Moon Villa, Miss Wan'er said that she and Wu Sansi were allies. Li Zhen cautiously probed, he didn't know why, he wanted to know the real relationship between Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Sansi.

"Ah Zhen, there are no allies in officialdom, only use each other. ”

"He offended you?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "The matter of changing my grandfather's tomb was leaked to Xue Huaiyi, and as a result, I was impeached by Lai Junchen." ”

Shangguan Wan'er let out a long sigh again, "It's all to blame for seeing the wrong person, believing in his kindness and accepting his feng shui treasure in Beibi Mountain, which made my grandfather uneasy, hey! I can only blame me for being credulous." ”

At this time, the bartender brought their wine and food, Li Zhen poured a glass of wine for Shangguan Wan'er, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Wan'er for giving me face and coming out to eat with me, I salute you for this glass of wine." ”

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, her slender and white fingers picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with his wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass, and a blush flew on her white jade-like face.

The two chatted a few words, and at this time, the two of them walked out of an elegant room not far away, and walked here with a wine glass and a smile, the person for it was Li Dezhao of Xiangguo, followed by Xiangguo Su Wei, Su Wei squinted his eyes, staring at Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face, and his eyes flashed with a trace of unusual heat.

"It's rare! I actually met Shangguan Sheren here. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face sank slightly, and there was a look of displeasure in her eyes, but then she disappeared again, she stood up and nodded to the two Xiangguo, and said lightly: "It's rare to have a moment of leisure, my friends and I are drinking here, is there something wrong with Li Xiangguo?"

Shangguan Wan'er's implication was that he hoped that Li Dezhao would not disturb him, Li Dezhao heard what she meant, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he turned his gaze to Li Zhen again, "This is-" He couldn't hide the curiosity in his eyes, he had never heard of Shangguan Wan'er drinking alone with a man outside, and he actually met it today.

Li Zhen also stood up and nodded slightly, "Under Li Zhen!"

"So you'reβ€”"

Li Dezhao and Su Wei both showed a sudden realization in their eyes, it turned out that this young man was Li Zhen, the deputy commander of the internal guard, no wonder Shangguan Wan'er would have a drink with him, the two looked at each other, and there was a smile in their eyes.

"In that case, don't disturb the rare leisure of the Shangguan Sheren, please continue. ”

Li Dezhao heard that Shangguan Wan'er changed into men's clothes and drank in the wine shop, so he wanted to come and pour her two glasses, but unexpectedly touched a soft nail, Li Dezhao snorted, then turned around and went back, Su Wei glanced at Li Zhen stupidly, and also followed Li Dezhao.

"These two Xiangguo, don't you want to get to know each other?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Zhen and smiled.

Li Zhen shook his head, he didn't have any interest in these two people, especially Su Wei, his look at Shangguan Wan'er disgusted Li Zhen, although Su Wei tried his best to hide it, he was still caught by Li Zhen's sharp gaze.

Shangguan Wan'er poured Li Zhen a glass of wine and said apologetically: "I'm afraid there will be some rumors tomorrow, Ah Zhen, I'm sorry!"

"I should have said this to Miss Wan'er. ”

"I never cared!" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head slightly.

"You don't care, so what do I care about? Everyone says I'm a holy male favorite, is my life too long?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled reluctantly and said in a low voice: "Next time we don't drink here, I don't like it here." ”

Next time I invite you to the Egret Wine Shop, in Qinghuafang, I like the quietness there. ”
