In the deep night, there are occasionally a few cicadas that are sharp and short, because of the summer heat, the long window is ajar, and there is a layer of Tan Shuibi's screen inside, raise your head, just in time to see the half-curved moon branded on the screen window, the moon image is dyed with a layer of autumn frost, showing a faint yellow, torn and broken by a grid of screens.

Jiang Li pillowed his arms, listening to the sound of light sleep coming from the depths of the warm pavilion, he was a little difficult to sleep, thought for a long time, and asked without words: "Little demon girl, there is such a big fire in Yongchang Palace, and the lord of your Yunchu Kingdom actually cut down all the people without a detailed investigation. ”

The warm pavilion was quiet for a while, the sound of light sleep was low, and after a long time, Luo Kui turned over and said sullenly: "The court is not as good as the rivers and lakes, no matter what grievances, you can end it with a fight, whose cultivation is high, whose fists are hard, who has the final say, and in the court, it is who His Majesty believes, who has the final say, the most important thing is not who does what and what he says, but what the high man wants to do, what he wants to hear, who he wants to hear, who he wants to believe." His Majesty is not unaware of this matter, nor is it impossible to guess the initiator, he just doesn't want to investigate, now that you are on the border of Chen Bing in the Beigu Kingdom, he naturally does not want to see the trivial matters in the inner garden cause instability in the court, therefore, he can only believe that this matter is an accident, and all the palace people were killed with a rod, one is to vent anger, the second is to extinguish the mouth, and the third is to reassure people. ”

Jiang Li choked for a while, he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes, never set foot in the court, he can fight, he can't run, he is used to going straight and straight, there are not so many twists and turns, a flash of inspiration in his heart, asked: "Then, if I stand in the temple one day, how can I win the trust of you." ”

"You want to be an official in the court. Luo Kui turned her head and looked at the hazy figure outside the carved screen, stunned.

Just ask. Jiang Li didn't know how he could have such a strange idea, let the good young master not do it, and be an official who serves people, I'm afraid it's not stupid to be locked up in the palace these days.

Winning the trust of the king has always been the biggest joke in the world, and the so-called winning trust is just based on the king's heart. Luo Kui twisted the smooth bedclothes like water, the moonlight slanted in, and the plain white sleeves were soaked in a trace of yellowish, like a long-sleeping old thing, and the side was yellow: "Above the court, trust is encounterable but not sought, reluctant not to come, but not to believe, but it can be facilitated by manpower, you don't have to force Your Majesty to believe in you, as long as Your Majesty does not believe in others, only believes in what he wants to believe, then, your court road will be much easier." ”

Jiang Li pondered carefully, the more he pondered, the more he felt that it was useless to listen to this matter alone, and he had to rely on really doing it once to understand the essence of it, he would not enter the court as an official left and right, what did he do with this brain, he simply put it aside, no longer thought about it, he turned over, looked at the depths of the warm pavilion through the carved screen, and saw the faint figure shrouded in the tent, thin and handful, he had ripples in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time: "No wonder you will have a good hair early." ”

There was a sound of rustling in the warm pavilion, Luo Kui turned over again, except for Su Zi, she had never had a life and death with another man, and this man did enter her heart, she was a piece of rotten wood, and it should bloom, but she couldn't let the flower really bloom, so she could only pinch off the thin flower bones, crush them, and turn them into clouds and smoke that shouldn't be. She stared intently at the plain white wall, which was full of shadows, grabbing her mind

She didn't say anything more, and she didn't know if she was really asleep or pretending to be asleep.

A few days later, the matter of harmony was finally settled in the summer day full of rumors, and Aoi had the life of the lonely star of the heavens, and he was hurt on his face, even if he put down his long hair and covered it tightly, but the envoys of the Kitaya Kingdom were not self-deceiving people like Aoi, and after seeing each other once, they didn't want to marry.

Just when the lord of the country was choosing among the other clan girls, I don't know where the envoys of the Kitaya Kingdom got the portrait of the princess of Jinhe, but I felt that this princess was born with a round and jade pearl, full of luxury, and the blessing of the heavenly family, which is more than a hundred times stronger than the weak and blessed Luokui, which is in line with the criteria of the Kitaya country to marry a wife.

The envoy of the country of Beigu passed the book to the lord of his own country, and after some discussion, he wrote to the lord of Yunchu country, insisting on marrying the princess of Jinhe, the daughter of the lord, and forced the lord of the country to jump and scold the country of Beigu, and after scolding, he turned Luo Kui out and scolded again, and only after relieving his anger did he realize that in the face of the pressure of the army of the country of Beigu, he could only let Xu Guifei and Princess Jinhe hold their legs and cry and cry, and there was nothing they could do.

This year's summer, the weather is extremely hot, the pomegranate tree in front of the court bloomed early, the flowers are hanging low, brilliant like clouds, lilacs sit under the tree, concentrate on picking vegetables, the breeze passes, like sparks petals have fallen, spread all over her shoulders.

Luo Kui and Su Zi looked at each other and smiled, she tiptoed behind Lilac, pushed her violently, and raised a chuckle in the already dazzling sunlight: "Little Lilac, I'm back." ”

Lilac's body shook suddenly, stood up and looked at her in a daze for a long time, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, his eyes were slightly red: "The eldest prince said that the master came back today and asked me to prepare some delicious food, and also, it's really not a lie." Before she finished speaking, she had already seen the scars on Luo Kui's face, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about, isn't it good for me, I don't miss an arm, I don't miss a leg, I don't lose a piece of meat. Luo Kui pinched Lilac's cheek and gently wiped away her tears: "I'm hungry." ”

Lilac clapped her hands busily and cried with joy: "Okay, okay, the maid will go cook, and the master will use some snacks first." ”

The room was sprinkled and cleaned early, a few plates of apricot blossom floor snacks were placed on the Ruyi round table, a few double-petaled roses were reclining in the pastel long-necked flower sac, and the summer breeze passed through, and the dense flower pots were as strong as fire.

After leaving for a month, the room has not changed for a minute as when it left, even the thin smoke on the celadon incense burner, the fragrance and tranquility, have not changed.

For a while, the streamer stopped, the breath of roses in the warm sun was slightly drunk, and Luokui took a shallow sip of tea, which was the sweet fragrance of nectar on the top of the roof, and tasted it carefully, a little more clear than in the palace: "Today, the envoy of the country of Beigu wrote to ask to marry the princess born to His Majesty." ”

Su Zi said with a smile: "Your Majesty's own princess is just that, she has always been distressed like an eyeball, and they are really good at picking." ”

"The country of Kitaya has indicated that it wants to marry His Majesty's own daughter, and the Flying Eagle Department and the Fuhu Department are in the north to set up troops, whether it is war or peace, it is only in the thoughts of His Majesty. Luo Kui climbed down a rose leaf, grinding it carefully, and dyed some faint cyan on his fingertips: "This is not something I can worry about, these years the national fortune has been stable, there are no major wars, military affairs are not prosperous, except for the prince, there is no commander who can lead the army to the battle, and there is no person who cultivates to be profound, think about it, Your Majesty."

In the end, I had to bow my head and give in. ”

Su Zi pressed her shoulder, pressed her on the chair and sat down, after taking care of the matter, the mind that had been tense for these days finally relaxed, provoked a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the undisguised smile flowed like spring: "The national fortune is stable." "The past is complicated, and it has fallen silent in the long years, but he has never forgotten it, and the endless sourness is all condensed in his cold snort:" If it weren't for the fact that his father-in-law led 100,000 Yuanzhi troops to fight bloodily with the country of Chatani, he fought desperately for nearly five years, and he fought until he reached the imperial city of the country of Chatani, and the country of Chatani was greatly injured and difficult to protect itself. ”

Luo Kui's expression sank slightly, and her smile seemed to be caught in the cold of the spring: "I'm not a serious princess, just a clan girl, it's not my turn to be close to the family, and who married in the end has nothing to do with me." She lost her mind slightly, Your Majesty only has a daughter under her knees, Princess Jinhe, who has been pampered and extremely arrogant since she was a child, if she marries to the country of Chatani, she doesn't know if she will be tortured by that wild place.

Raised her hand and loosened her bun, plucked the golden hairpin sideburns in her hair, and shook her head slightly, these headdresses weighed down her headache, those etiquette were tied, she no longer had to suffer the sin of being locked up in the palace walls, this princess Rausch, whoever loves to do it.

I don't know what she thought, her eyes showed a fierce light, she hammered Su Zi hard, her face changed, and she didn't have a smile at all: "It's just Su Zi, you are too ruthless, I just said that you want you to say that I am ominous, you actually say that I am the fate of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, you have the intention to kill me." ”

Su Zi raised her hand and touched the scar on her face, wanting to pull the corners of her lips and smile, but that smile finally turned into a soft sigh on her lips: "How can I be ruthless with you, I burned myself out, I see you, I won't be able to marry in the future." ”

Now herself, as a weighty Tiansha lonely star, and the kind that has broken the phase, Luo Kui is very self-aware, no matter how old or low the portal is, I am afraid that I will have to go around the lintel of my own water family in the future, she gently leaned on Su Zi's shoulder, wrinkled the tip of her nose, and smiled with a rare coquettish smile: "If you have a brother, you must have a sister, brother, if you can't get married, you will raise me for a lifetime." ”

Su Zi nodded the tip of Luo Kui's nose, shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Okay, you don't eat much, I can still afford it." He paused slightly, frowned and asked, "He's gone." ”

Luo Kui nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Su Zi continued to persistently ask: "Don't say goodbye in the future." ”

Luo Kui bit her lower lip desperately, not showing half a trace of heartache on her face, and only said in a low voice, which was considered an ominous response.

Su Zi was a little unbearable, raised her hand and gently stroked her satin-like long hair, and poked her heart without changing her original intention: "I am not willing to let you suffer such a crime, but there are some sins that you can't escape, rather than waiting for the day to break your muscles and bones, it is better to make a break early." ”

Luo Kui looked at Su Zi's mouth one by one, at a loss, couldn't tell what he was talking about, only felt that her ears were buzzing, her heart was sour, her throat was choked and she wanted to go away, a thin layer of fine sweat oozed from her back, and she endured the corners of her lips for a long time before she muttered out a word: "Okay." ”
