Chapter 39: Heart-to-Heart Friendship

The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Prince Qingtian was immersed in the "sea of books" to deal with official documents, and when he looked up and saw Xiao Wu coming in, he patted the position next to him with great affection and said, "Come here, sit here."

Xiao Wu obediently went over and knelt down.

Dynastic pointed to the sheets on the table and said, "You can read them."

Xiao Wu took a volume and began to read, and after reading, she picked up the pen dipped in ink, and quietly waited for the prince's reply.

Qingtian kept his eyebrows calm and thoughtful, and after a long while, he spoke again, "What do you think about this?"

"I, slave maid...... Don't dare to talk about political affairs in vain", Xiao Wu whispered back.

Qingtian seemed to be a little impatient, and whispered, "This gentleman wants you to say, don't be long-winded, say it quickly!"

"Well, the slave maid thinks that this matter should be handled by the fox lord himself. The princes and monarchs guard the fiefdom for the heavenly court, and it is their duty to stabilize and benefit one party, and when there is a problem, they should think about it as soon as possible, and how to dispatch local resources to solve it, instead of writing a table for help first...... I can't even deal with a small fire, I only know that I want people, things, and support, and I shirk the responsibility to the heavenly court, which is ...... Bright mediocrity and laziness...... A strong backbone can only be forged through hard work, if the monarchs everywhere can become responsible pillars...... Only when something really big happens, can we hold on......! If Heaven is blindly appeased and tired of dealing with trivial matters in various places, it will inevitably encourage laziness and inaction...... In the long run, Heavenly Court will definitely have the worry of sacrificing the basics and losing the big with the small."

Qingtian held his head in his hands, listening calmly and seriously, looking at Xiao Wu's eyes, there were different emotions such as doubt, surprise, and curiosity flickering alternately.

After listening, Qingtian leaned forward slowly, forcing Xiao Wu to dodge constantly, at a loss, Qing Tian looked straight at Xiao Wu, who had no way to hide, and after a while, he asked in a low voice: "Lu Xiaowu...... This is, who taught you?".

Because he was too close to Qingtian, Xiao Wu felt nervous and embarrassed, she didn't dare to look at it, his sharp eyes that often made him feel that there was nothing to hide, she couldn't guess what he meant by asking this? Did she say the wrong thing? Xiao Wu really couldn't understand, this prince with a deep heart.

Xiao Wu hurriedly changed to sit on her knees, buckled her head in a panic, and stammered back: "It's all ...... The truth of the book is also ...... Prince...... That's how it goes...... Instructions...... look, slaves and maids disregard the government...... Sin deserves death!".

Qingtian reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, preventing her from kowtowing again, her eyes and tone became extremely soft.

"That's a good thing! Benjun doesn't blame you...... It's really good that you can apply what you've learned and what you've learned...... Today, I also want to tell you that all the central government to the princes and the upper level to the subordinates must be measured, and they cannot be mediocre and dependent, but ...... Nor can they let go of their hands and let them be so strong that they no longer need to be relied upon. Otherwise...... It is easy for them to find their own position and think about what is wrong...... If we can use the incident to form a father-son relationship with moral implication, the checks and balances required in this are very knowledgeable...... You, combined with the meaning of this gentleman, grasp the scale of language...... Just write a reply."

"Huh?!I ?...... No, it's ...... The slave writes it herself?"

"Yes, you write."

Xiao Wu was distraught after hearing this, and looked up at the deep eyes of the sky, and she saw that the prince's eyes were full of trust and expectation.

At this moment, Yan Ran came in to salute Qingtian and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Wu Mei Niangniang is asking to see you outside the palace."

Prince Qingtian and Xiao Wu both realized that their hands were still together, Qingtian let go of Xiao Wu's hand, sat down and picked up a book of expressions, and said, "Xuan her come in."

Before Yanran withdrew, she glanced at Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to the prince, with a face full of jealousy and anger.

After a while, I only heard the jingle of the ring, and with a gust of fragrant wind, a charming, richly dressed beauty, with a palace lady fluttering, she came to the sky, bowed down, "The concubine has seen the king."

Qingtian raised his head, glanced at him expressionlessly, and said, "Get up, is there something wrong with Concubine Ai?"

Xiao Wu turned to the direction of Wu Mei, knelt on the ground and saluted, and after saluting, he got up and was about to leave.

Qingtian's face suddenly darkened, glared at Xiao Wu, and whispered, "Benjun, are you allowed to leave?...... Keep writing".

Xiao Wu bowed her head in response, sat back in her place to write her reply, and thought to herself that her kind act was shouted at, and this prince was really unreasonable.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Wu Mei's face, and after a moment, she smiled and took a delicate small stew pot from the tray in Xian'e behind her, walked to the other side of Qingtian, sat down next to each other, and put the small stew cup in front of Qingtian, and said softly: "Concubine, I know that you have been busy these days, so I boiled it with my own hands, this snow ear soup that dries the lungs, you can use it while it is hot."

Qingtian still had no expression on his face, and his tone was even more flat and repulsive, "Oh, let this go first, what else is there?"

Wu Mei glanced at Xiao Wu, who was concentrating on writing, her whole body was lying on Qingtian's shoulder, one hand caressed Qingtian's neckline, her eyes were full of spring, and she said coquettishly: "I haven't seen your majesty for a long time, concubine...... I miss it so much!".

Qingtian was fascinated by the Ying Ying Spring in the eyes of Wu Mei Peach Blossom, and he was in a trance, his eyes and tone were gentle, "Ah! After these two busy days, Benjun will go to see the concubine."

Wu Mei's eyes flattered, her hand seemed to be unintentionally placed on Qingtian's lap, rubbing, and whispering: "Then, the concubine will not disturb the king, and will return to the Fangfei Palace to wait...... The beautiful scenery of the Spring Festival, the king has to come early", after speaking, the enchanting got up, saluted, and left with a gust of incense and the sound of wearing rings.

The corners of Qingtian's mouth smiled, and he watched the martial charm who turned back three times in one step and had all kinds of charms leave. After that, his eyes slowly turned to Xiao Wu, and he saw that the little girl was writing her reply calmly, completely looking like an outsider who had nothing to do with herself and hung high.

The corners of Yang's mouth slowly lowered, and Qing Tian was inexplicably angry in his heart, and his eyes were three points cold when he looked at Xiao Wu. He thought to himself indignantly, I'm afraid that in this world, only this damn little scholar in front of him doesn't care about himself at all.

Xiao Wu just finished writing, picked up the reply, put it on his hands, and said, "Please review it with His Royal Highness the Prince."

Qingtian glared at Xiao Wu, angrily dragged the recital, seeing that the words written in the reply were tactful but not majestic, Yin Yin's teaching was reasonable, and the rewards and punishments were also clear and clear, he suddenly felt refreshed, and it was indeed impeccable.

It's really a little thing with insight, knowledge, and quality! Optimus didn't expect to pick up a piece of treasure, she was like an unopened piece of jade, but Optimus could already see the excitement inside, and the stinginess just now disappeared in an instant, "Well! Yes! That's it...... Oh, you...... Drink this soup."

"Ah?...... The slave maid doesn't dare, this is what the mother prepared for His Royal Highness the Prince"

Qingtian quietly stared at the little girl with low eyebrows, her eyes were gentle and bright, and her tone of voice was unprecedentedly gentle, "Whoever appreciates you dares to say no?...... No rules!".

Xiao Wu didn't dare to disobey anymore, and took the soup pushed by Qingtian and drank it, it was really sweet and smooth!

Seeing that the little girl looked very fond of it, Qingtian suddenly asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious! Your Highness tasted it too...... Ahh

Xiao Wu blurted out a heartfelt compliment, and as soon as she said it, she felt that it was wrong, how could she let the prince drink the soup she had drunk?

Glancing at Xiao Wu, who was looking down and regretting his frustration, the corners of Qingtian's mouth were raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

After another hour or so, all the recitals were reviewed today, much earlier than in the past.

"Go with Benjun!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in walking out of the Chenghua Palace, and Xiao Wu could only follow closely. Out of Yongzheng Palace, Prince Qingtian grabbed Xiao Wu's waist and left together.

The two of them appeared by a colorful river, the round and huge moon in the galaxy, the stars and the moon reflected each other, beautiful!

"Wow...... Tianhe, here...... It's so beautiful!", Xiao Wu couldn't help but praise loudly when she saw Tianhe.

The starry river was silent, the night breeze was wrapped in a faint fragrance of flowers, lifting the robes and hair of Qingtian and Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was intoxicated by the beauty of the spring night......

Qingtian stared at Xiao Wu who was drunk and obsessed, and saw that in her dark eyes, the stars were shining and shining! He looked at her quietly for a long time, and said lightly: "I like it......! Since then, I have been coming often...... Now, I want to see how your martial arts are?...... Take the sword!", Qingtian said, throwing a sword out of his hand and tossing it to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu thought that he was coming to see the scenery, but after listening, he realized that he had come to practice martial arts, so he hurriedly collected his thoughts and caught the sword in the air.

"Let's get out of the sword!"

Xiao Wu looked at the jade tree in the wind, and the prince who was standing with his hands in his hands, swung his sword and stabbed straight at it.

Optimus easily turned around to dodge, Xiao Wu soared into the air, and the sword flowers fell like raindrops, and the aggressive momentum really surprised Optimus. The little girl is much stronger than he imagined, the swordsmanship is very routine, and the movements are extremely agile, the key is that the little girl takes out the sword, decisively does not drag the mud and water, and fights against the master, without the slightest scruples, extremely bold, Qingtian smiled bitterly and was careful.

Qingtian subdued Xiao Wu many times, but he let go, he just wanted to test more, how deep her exercises were?

On the edge of the Tianhe River, the moon is bright, the stars are shining, and the two figures, one white and one black, are danced together under the light of the stars and the moon.

Her body was flying, her clothes were hunting, her hair was flying, Xiao Wu's expression was focused and resolute, she played the seven-star sword with her strength, and the seven swords flew straight towards the sky with Ling Yan.

Qingtian hit the immortal barrier block, and the strength to dissolve, he used static braking, with his intention to penetrate, to break Xiao Wu's continuous attacks, and counterattacked in real time, the point was up, forcing Xiao Wu to block left and right, jumping up and down, and he was unable to win.

Qingtian will support and even hug from time to time, Xiao Wu, who is unstable, every moment his eyes are intertwined, he feels an indescribable joy in his heart, and the joy and beautiful feelings slowly rise in his heart, and spread in this spring sky with a good moon......

It wasn't until Xiao Wu's face was covered with sweat and he was panting with his sword that Qing Tian floated down from the air, and said calmly and tenderly: "Okay, let's practice here, take a rest."

The two sat side by side by the Tianhe, Xiao Wu wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, Qingtian looked at her with a side face and pity, and summarized in a gentle tone: "You have learned several sets of swordsmanship, but you have not practiced enough, you have no form and no spirit, too routine, and you can't adapt to the situation...... Your biggest problem now is that the foundation is not solid, too floating and too weak, and there are no killing tricks, so it becomes a showcase...... Tomorrow, start by practicing the basics."

"Oh!"

Xiao Wu had no choice but to respond, but she shouted indignantly in her heart, is practicing martial arts what a scholar should do? Who allows you to make trouble for a lot of things? Xiao Wu didn't dare to reply, let alone ask why? This difficult lord has always said the same, and refuting and resisting will only get the opposite and backfire.

Seeing Xiao Wu bowing her head and muttering silently, Qingtian knew that she was a hundred reluctant in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey herself. This little girl with eyes on the top of her head in her bones was quite obedient in front of him, and Qingtian had a sense of pleasure in conquering untamable beasts, and a smug smile flashed on her face.

Xiao Wu still talks very little, a gentle and demure, well-behaved and obedient look, Qing Tian knows that her real son should be in front of Zi Xiao and Guiyan, that hearty and lively, flamboyant and even domineering, he also hoped that Xiao Wu could also treat himself so truthfully, but he felt that it was inappropriate, thinking about the appearance of the little thing being commanding and being the master of the house to the two younger brothers, he couldn't stand it, this little girl is a bright lord who gives a little sunshine, or it is better to press a little.

Qingtian also knew that Xiao Wu was very bold, and she didn't have the slightest fear of him in her heart, she dared to disobey the order and leave the palace without permission, and she also dared to write a copy for Guiyan...... He pretended not to know, and the only reason was that he did not want to punish her.

This little scholar is a once-in-a-lifetime treasure! It is not easy to get, and it is easy to use, for the sake of her understanding more and more about herself, more and more help herself, and for the sake of her talent and cleverness, Qingtian persuaded herself again and again, forgiving and forgiving Xiao Wu's mistakes.

Optimus didn't even realize that he had become more and more dependent and away from this little scholar......

A gust of night wind blew, and Optimus felt Xiao Wu shudder, he waved his hand, a cloak was already in his hand, and Optimus personally helped Xiao Wu put it on.

Xiao Wu was frightened and hurriedly hid, she still maintained the distance between master and servant in her heart, "Oh! Your Highness...... The slave and the maid come by themselves".

"Don't move!", Qingtian helped Xiao Wu put on the cloak and fasten the belt, her soft eyes looked directly at the starry eyes, the two suddenly met their eyes, and they both hurriedly dodged, Xiao Wu said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

Before, Xiao Wu had never looked at Qingtian squarely, first, it was unreasonable, second, she didn't dare, and third, she still hated him in her heart.

But in today's competition, Xiao Wu looked at Qingtian's whole body from front to back, left and right, up and down, far and near. The prince, who was dressed in black, with black hair and bright black eyes, was actually quite good-looking! He was calm, dashing and heroic, his angular face was under the stars and moon, changing different plump charms, his chest was broad and firm, and she was embraced more than once. Xiao Wu felt that no matter what kind of danger there was, she would be caught by his strong arms, and there, she felt safe and warm!

"It's so beautiful here...... Can I play the flute?", this was the first time Xiao Wu took the initiative to ask Optimus to make a request, and saw Optimus smile and nod at her.

Xiao Wu took out the jade flute from her sleeve and began to play. The flute rises melodiously, sometimes high-pitched and excited, sometimes cheerful and interesting, the flute sound is tactful and beautiful, singing softly, ethereal and leisurely......

The moon is bright, the stars are brilliant, the wind is cool, and the flowers are fragrant.

The dreamlike beauty of the Tianhe River, the two people like mountains and waters, the infatuated flute sound, lingering infinite contemplative reverie, Qingtian and Xiao Wu are intoxicated in the beautiful scenery of the wonderful spring moonlit night, and their hearts flutter with the flute......

Smell the peach blossoms in the song, and the stars and the moon will be in love!
