After the conversation, the arrogant King Su patiently peeled more than a dozen lychees for her to eat at night, and even ...... Reached out and fed Gao Yingchen a few!

I don't know if such a "little thing" flows into the Yangcheng Palace in Luoyang, the divine capital, how many daughters of princes and nobles who miss King Su and look forward to his return will be envious, and even jealous?

But if you really want to talk about the vinegar of the Phoenix Spirit King, they probably don't dare to eat it.

Gao Yingchen tasted the lychee, and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, what should Wu Kai do with Wu Kai who was in prison yesterday?" ”

"According to the law."

Su Qixiao took a sip of thin tea, and saw that she looked perfunctory and unhappy, and seemed to be dissatisfied, "Do you want to say this"?

The corners of Su Qixiao's mouth sneered, and he folded his hands to count Wu Kai's crimes: "Provocation and trouble, killing people on the street, insulting people's daughters, forcibly occupying fields, and even being suspected of assassinating the king and killing the driver, all felonies and capital crimes." Now that Wu Kai is imprisoned by the Yangzhou army, killing him is a matter of stabbing him, but there is more than one knife that can use him. ”

Gao Yingchen saw that he didn't have murderous intentions, and questioned: "Why, his father Wu Yue's big crime of selling smuggling salt is enough to put him to death!" Wu Yue can be killed, can't Wu Kai be killed......"

"You're wrong, Wu Yue can't be killed." Su Qixiao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he interrupted, "Wu Yue is poor in Yangzhou and ten thousand households, rich in his Wu family, I know that Wu Yue is a big trouble in your heart." But many things in the world are like this, the things that you want to do the most are the most difficult to do; And the person who deserves to be killed the most is the most difficult to kill. ”

Su Qixiao met Gao Yingchen's gaze and patiently explained: "The Wu clan, the henchmen headed by Wu Yue control the business network in Jiangnan that cannot be underestimated, and have most of the trade routes with foreign countries, especially with the Western Regions. What's more, the forces behind him and the divine capital Luoyang are inextricably linked, and he directly kills the knife, and the trouble is no less than the benefit. In the final analysis, no matter how bad Wu Yue's character is, he also has his means to be able to sit in business, and if he is killed and there is no one to replace him, killing people will always be the next policy, although the people who are oppressed by him are more willing to see such a strategy. ”

Gao Yingchen frowned and asked, "Isn't it good to do what the people want to see?" ”

Su Qixiao was noncommittal, and said with deep eyes: "Those in power must always see farther than the people." ”

Gao Yingchen was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "This king may not be a good vassal king......

"You've done well enough." Su Qixiao stared at her eyes, truly agreed, and counted them to her, "I have heard many praises from the people in the market in the past half month in Guangling Tower. The tavern guy said that His Royal Highness King Fengling was a royal daughter, but he knew the livelihood of the bottom and was exempted from the harsh taxes of the lower nine streams, and the neighbors were all grateful; The soldiers at the city gate said that although you are a woman, you are resolute, the Yangzhou army is never inferior outside, and His Royal Highness is not inferior to brave generals, and can be called a heroine among women! I also heard a lot of neighbors say that you are a hundred times better than the arrogant and lascivious prodigal prince of Sudi, Yangzhou is really lucky! ”

Seeing that she was stunned, Su Qixiao smiled lightly: "So, whether the vassal king is good or not, it doesn't matter if you say it yourself, your own people have the final say." ”

It was the first time that King Fengling heard the people's evaluation of him, and his cheeks were slightly red.

"Shy?" Su Qixiao glanced at her.

Gao Yingchen didn't want to admit it, so she pouted and said angrily: "Hmph, compared to you, of course I'm a good vassal king!" ”

"Yes, yes, then say something that makes you happy." Su Qixiao saw the faint crimson on her cheeks, and suddenly smiled, "Before I went down to the Heavenly Dao Mountain, I was always thinking about what kind of gift to give you, and now I have it." ”

King Fengling, who usually disdains the congratulatory gifts given by the powerful of the family, became energetic when she heard this, after all, every time Su Qixiao's gift was what she looked forward to the most.

"So, what exactly is the gift for me?"

Su Qixiao said mysteriously: "The name of the gift is quite interesting, I named it Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha." ”

At this moment, Bei Tao walked into the back garden of the palace, and saluted King Fengling and King Su: "Your Royal Highness, the two highnesses of Qiqi, the guards have just come to report, and the Yangzhou businessman Jia Wuyue outside the palace asks to see him." ”

Gao Yingchen glanced at the noble son who was drinking thin tea and didn't even raise his eyebrows, and said curiously: "Tim Jin, the most important part of the plan has come to the door in person, don't you give a reaction?" ”

Su Qixiao said unshockedly: "This king heard that Wu Yue has a lot of shelves on weekdays, and even many officials have to use the word 'appreciating light' when they invite him to banquets, and those who don't even have the opportunity to use this word abound. Wu Yue seems to have set the rule that Cambodia cannot enter the gate, and he has to invite guests to come to the door in person to invite him, but it is unusual to go outside the palace today. ”

Gao Yingchen recalled the incident and sneered: "A few days ago, the invitation of the old man of the auxiliary government was rejected by Wu Yue on the universal reason of 'being unwell', and it is embarrassing for him to be the prefect. ”

Bei Tao said in a timely manner: "Your Highness, this matter has been investigated by your order, and the son of the prefect wants to enter the general merchant of Yangzhou, and he asked Wu Yue at that time. ”

Gao Yingchen nodded and asked Su Qixiao, "Tim Jin, how do you want to reply to Wu Yue who is waiting at the door?" ”

Su Qixiao glanced at the lychee shells piled up on the table, as well as the reddened hands of his dozens of fingertips peeling lychees, and said quietly: "Tell him that King Su peeled lychees and injured his knuckles, and King Fengling ate more lychees to get angry, and the two princes were closed to the door because of 'physical discomfort'." ”

Gao Yingchen couldn't help but hide his face and laugh, thinking that he was just retaliating with a tooth for tat, but suddenly reacted to Su Qixiao's pun, which seemed to be more like complaining about his excessive demands.

"Okay, that's enough for today, let's continue peeling tomorrow."

Su Qixiao leaned on the side of the guqin, and said in a strange manner: "It's okay, I really want to try, which is easier to break your finger by peeling lychees or playing the piano?" ”

“……”

Su Qixiao asked, "Speaking of which, you don't know how to play the piano, why are you putting it here?" ”

Gao Yingchen said with a smile: "Naturally, I am waiting for someone who can play to play." ”

"You're not hinting at me, are you?"

"Who else but you!"

Gao Yingchen lowered her eyes and looked at the guqin, knowing that Su Qixiao and Gao Chunfeng were both proficient in music and rhythm, and they admired the qin together, and then asked, "Do you really not play a song?" ”

Su Qixiao tapped his long fingers, and the sound shook the forest.

"This song, when the curtain call of Wu's Harlequin comes to an end, it's not too late to get up again."

·

At the gate of Fengling Palace, Wu Yue, who was ridiculed by King Su as "people are not as good as Cambodia", although he was furious in his heart, he did not dare to slack off on the matter of his son's life.

Wu Yue had set the rules in the Wu Mansion before, and when he didn't admit that it was his turn to come to the palace, he was turned away from all the people and horses with them. But even so, the lord of the Wu Mansion, who controls the lifeblood of Yangzhou's commerce and trade, is still arrogant, and instructed Bei Taodao, who was summoned outside the mansion: "If the two little highnesses have any requirements, otherwise the old man will take someone to wait at the door for a long time." ”

Bei Tao, who was born in the gate, looked awe-inspiring and said: "I will show the two highnesses, and before that, please also ask you and your people to move to the side gate, don't block the main gate!" ”

Wu Yue's mind was buzzing with anger, Bei Tao didn't wait for him to be angry, turned around and went back, the main gate of Fengling Wangfu was slammed closed, and it was not opened again until sunset and dusk.

After Bei Tao conveyed it in the garden, Su Qixiao only looked happy when he heard it, and waved his hand arbitrarily: "Then since he likes to wait, let him wait outside the mansion for this king's reply." ”

Gao Yingchen on the side looked at him with a smile on her cheeks, without the slightest sense of displeasure that she was the lord of Yangzhou and was dominated by him. Not to mention the princes and generals, no matter how small the officials, they will be afraid of being overtaken by others if they hold power, but Gao Yingchen can see Tim Jin's high-spirited appearance now, no matter what.

It's been a long time since Chunfeng left, and he's not been like this.

Until the moment before Su Qixiao left the back garden, Gao Yingchen called him again and asked softly, "Tianjin, when will you return to Sudi?" ”

"After helping you, I will finish sacrificing Chunfeng."

"How many more days?"

"When you're gone, you'll always see you again."

"Then you are not allowed to be like Chunfeng and never come back."

"No, it won't."

"You promise me!"

"I promise you, no."

Su Qixiao left slowly, but when he looked back, he saw that she was still watching, as if he really didn't come back, he smiled warmly and reminded: "By the way, we have to go to the suburbs of Yangzhou tomorrow, don't forget." ”

"Hmm." Gao Yingchen stared at him steadily, expectantly asked, "Tim Jin, you will always be on my side, right?" ”

"Yes."

Su Qixiao's eyes were gentle, staring at the figure of the only princess of Great Xia who was out of the world and independent, and thought to himself: "Actually, the person who can not hide in the future is you." I have wronged you during this time, and now that this king has returned, you are no longer alone. ”
