Mr. Kuroko has not really entered the capital yet, but the news is still spreading, and some dignitaries know the news and prepare a banquet early in the morning, waiting for him to enter the capital before others to receive their own mansion.

Now the scholars of the Qi Kingdom almost regard him as a saint, and it is a great honor to be able to invite him to the mansion, no less than the grace of the Qi Emperor's visit, or even more.

It wasn't until Wang Yufeng took Mr. Heizi into the capital that the whole city became lively, although it has been prosperous as the capital of a country in the past few years, but it has never shown the same vitality as today.

And the beauty always admires talents, especially he is also a saint in the world of peach and plum in Qi country, and his affair with Princess Mingzhu was a well-known beautiful conversation, especially in the rumors, he is still better than Pan An.

In the major music workshops for people's entertainment, those peerless oirans who are hard to find on weekdays and refuse to show their heads are carefully dressed up in their best posture and sit on the loft of the music square, charming and full of flowers...... Each one is a mesmerizing scenery that makes it impossible to take your eyes off it.

It's just to see Mr. Kuroko's true face.

By the time Mr. Kuroko actually entered the capital, the sky had already darkened...... But the city is brightly lit, and it seems that the prosperity and liveliness of this place have just begun.

Some powerful princes and nobles, when the carriage carrying Mr. Kuroko passed by, they held lanterns and led the people of the first house to bow to him.

The lights of thousands of homes are always bright, hundreds of beauties stand by the building, and Sun Ying, the king of the city, is clothed, and every time he is mentioned after a few years, he still feels shocked.

From the beginning to the end, the carriage had no intention of stopping from the moment it entered the city, and its destination should have been the majestic but unforgiving palace, just as everyone thought so.

The carriage stopped in front of the small archway called Qingyue Lefang among the many extravagant and luxurious archways.

Some discerning people remember that this was a small music workshop that she set up with a lot of fun before Her Royal Highness the eldest princess married the king of Yunnan, and when she was bored, she listened to people sing some tunes in it, and it was only open to her.

Perhaps...... She still has him in her heart, so she first met him in Le Fang, just as an ordinary woman, not as the actual ruler of Qi State, not about national affairs, and only talking about children's affection.

This is the answer that everyone thinks of.

Mr. Kuroko finally got out of the carriage, and he was dressed in the most ordinary simple cloth clothes, with a half-white head unrestrained, scattered behind him at will, showing casualness, and his appearance was also wrinkled, slightly sallow yellow, but if people who had seen him would still feel that his style had not diminished back then, he was still like a shock, or even worse.

is like this, and he is still drunk and beautiful people fall in love with him.

The music room is also really small, and when you walk into the main entrance, you will see a bright light in a boudoir that looks like a daughter's house in the deepest part of the room.

Even more faintly visible, the bright lights reflected in the window reflected a slender figure.

He walked up to him, pushed the door open gently, and saw a beautiful woman sitting on the table and smiling at him, and the years had not left any marks on her face, but was like an old wine that had been left for a long time, and it was more charming.

Compared with the youth of the year, her smile shows the charm and charm that a woman should have, but it is also full of tiredness and gloom.

"Mingzhu has seen Mr. Kuroko. She stood up and bowed to him in the manner of a daughter's house, with her hands on her waist, and bowed to him.

"My student is Mingfeng, not Mingzhu, and I don't know her. His face was a little serious, and he did not accept her salute.

The smile on her face was even worse after hearing this, just like she didn't wear a lot of makeup today to highlight her majesty in front of a group of officials, and she only wore a very plain white dress, really letting go of her identity as the eldest princess.

Just like the man-to-man salute she used to restore her daughter's body and say goodbye to him in the past, she arched her hand and said, "Mingfeng greets Mr." ”。

He also changed his previous seriousness, with a warm and familiar smile on his face, and also a little warmth.

"Sir, Narukaze wants to tell you about the days when I was your student. ”

"Okay. ”

"By the way, how did Mr. know that I was a female Jiao'e from the beginning?"

"Mr. Lu is indeed talented, although he writes vaguely, but he writes clearly between the lines, and if you look closely, you will always see it. ”

"Hahaha, sir is so smart! It's Mingfeng who is too stupid!"

......

They did only talk about the things of the year, from the time she was said to be a feminine noble son to the time when she parted and painted a picture for him to see, but they didn't say a word about national affairs.

She smiled brightly, as happy as when she was young, and the three years in Luoshi Village were the happiest time in the first half of her life.

Countless times in her dreams, she dreamed of the peach blossom forest in front of the school in Luoshi Village, where she and her husband had the best years, and they also did her paintings and his paintings......

But after waking up from a dream countless times, I realized that it was just a dream.

But although I can't go back to the peach blossom forest tonight, with him, I want to come to the peach blossom forest.

Mingzhu's delicate face was full of happy smiles: "By the way, sir, do you know why this music shop in Mingfeng is called Qingyue?"

I barely thought about him and said, "I am worried about the bright moon?"

"Mr. is only half right, Mingyue is still too lonely after all, and it can't send people's thoughts, so it's cold, so it's called Qingyue. She was still talking happily, but suddenly her face turned colorless

, grieved.

She looked at him quietly, her eyes reflected on him, and the room fell silent.

It was already the middle of the night, and most of the lights outside the music square were extinguished, and he had no intention of looking out the window, but he saw that the moon was exceptionally bright tonight, and the white light shone on the ground like a layer of thin veil, but it also lacked the little starlight that usually accompanied it, and it seemed lonely and lonely.

Eventually, a sigh came out of his mouth.

Mingzhu looked at her and her eyes turned slightly red, she wanted to speak again, and paused to lightly open her lips: "Sir, you said that it is easy to say reason, but it is the most difficult to make." But in fact...... I'll never be able to do that. ”。

She cried completely, crying so much that it rained and made people feel distressed.

As if with great courage, she got up slightly and leaned towards him, about to melt into the most tender water in his arms.

Seeing this scene, he did not speak, but closed his eyes.

But when she was about to reach his arms, she stopped, did not cry again, but showed a bitter and bitter smile: "Me...... I really want to give my most important thing to my husband, but it's a pity...... It's gone!".

She is no longer perfect, and she seems to be able to control her own destiny with her noble birth, but in fact, she has fallen into the quagmire of fate after she walked out of Luojia Village and returned to the capital.

In the quagmire, she faded away from her original innocence and youthfulness, and some were just conspiracies and calculations that were gradually cultivated in the deep palace compound, and she had already become filthy.

She is so filthy, whether in body or soul, how can she be worthy of a husband?

"I teach you to help the world, and you should look at the world. It's been a beautiful day......" He opened his eyes, and he spoke without joy or sorrow, and could not hear any emotion.

"I knew you'd say that!" she sneered, her voice less respectful and more resentful.

He stopped talking, but closed his eyes again, and the room fell silent again, silent like a pool of stagnant water, no matter what he threw into it, even if it would make waves, but stagnant water could only be stagnant water, and he would never live.

Murong Xiu, who was hidden in the shadows, felt that this scene was familiar, and in some memories that there were no at all, she remembered that Mo Wunian still had an image, the great love of the common people and the love of children, he would always choose the former.

Maybe...... No matter how much people forget the past, once something is engraved in their bones, they will never forget it, which is no longer a habit, but an instinct.

Wu Mu has always been happy to watch, just like watching a scene, she even deliberately got a bag of melon seeds and snorted while watching, watching the sunspot reject Mingzhu, of course she was happy, but after seeing Mingzhu say that, she couldn't be happy.

She even sympathized with her.

At this moment, she felt that Heizi's preaching of Mingzhu and Mo Wunian's teaching and cultivation were so similar that they could no longer match.

She probably began to understand him a little, and no matter what kind of posture his indifference appeared, there was actually one thing very similar - ruthless.

Speechless all night, neither Mingzhu nor Heizi spoke again, until a touch of red glow appeared in the sky, and the world would be a new beginning of the day, he said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, we should discuss some national affairs, and you should also go to court on behalf of the saint." ”。

As he spoke, he bowed down and bowed to her, a courtesy that only exists between kings and ministers.

"Sir, you...... Hongu ...... Hate you for the rest of your life!Get up!" her eyes were full of resentment, and they were obviously red, as if she was going to cry again.

Maybe...... When the tears were dry, they could not be shed.

She motioned for him to go out and wait outside the music shop first, and in a few moments, she walked out, dressed in a bright red dress that showed her noble status, and her face was also coated with a thick layer of fat powder, which just covered the traces of crying on her face, and her skin was so white that she was indifferent and ruthless.

"Let's go, sir, follow the palace into the palace!" her voice was full of confidence, showing the majesty of her superior.

A carriage drawn by five of the finest sweat and blood horses also happened to drive and stopped in front of her, and several people who followed were prostrate on the ground waiting for her to get into the carriage in the lowest posture.

"Sir, come up too. She glanced back at Kuroko, and the clogs under her feet stepped on the bodies of the minions and got into the carriage.

He did not refuse, but he did not step on the human body to get into the carriage, but stood on tiptoe with both feet, and together they got into the carriage in an unsightly posture.

"Sir...... It's really a festival of high wind and brightness, and I haven't forgotten what the sages said in their books. She looked at him with no business, as if sarcastic, but there was still tenderness in the deepest part of her eyes.

What about him? What about her? has changed......

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, let's talk to me about some serious things. ”

"You say...... How many men should a man of such dignity be favored by me?"

Kuroko didn't seem to ignore her changes, and it seemed that there was only one sentence on his lips now. And she is like a courtier of any era who has achieved great merit, and said in a very disrespectful tone.

"If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is just here to talk to me about this, then I'll get out of the carriage and turn around and leave!" Kuroko said to her in a very stern tone with a solemn expression.

"Sir...... It's not funny at all, giggle......" she said and laughed, and flamboyant, not at all reserved, not at all like the Qi Mingfeng of yesteryear.

After that, she returned to her original face and said: "It's better to go to the court to talk about the affairs of the court, and the palace doesn't want to talk about it here!"

The word "Hongu" is in

She bites hard in her mouth.

He was silent again, only this time without even a sigh.

Although the space in the carriage is very large, it is actually very small, and the two of them are sitting facing each other, and there is not much distance between them, but in fact they are as far away as a vast sea of stars.

......

In the Zichen Hall of the Qi Imperial Palace, the gold bricks are paved, which is very luxurious, and the top is placed with a golden lacquer cloud dragon pattern throne, and the pearl is sitting in the center of it, but the Qi Emperor, who is still young, is sitting next to her.

"Go up!" shouted the eunuch on the side in a shrill voice.

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!"

The ministers crawled on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" Emperor Qi, who is not even a teenager, shouted out such a sentence, which looked ridiculous, and the eunuch standing on the side looked at Mingzhu first, he understood who was actually in charge, and when he saw her nodding, he shouted again with his throat flat, and the ministers also got up on the spot with the words "Thank you, Lord Longen".

"This palace knows that I don't accept all of you, so today I will call someone who all of you are serving!" She suddenly got up, and looked at the ministers who bowed their heads and were silent with contempt in her eyes.

These ministers did not accept her, although they did not raise their heads, but they did not say a word, as if silent was better than a silent protest.

The eunuch on the side got her instructions and shouted: "Mr. Xuan Heizi is here!"

"Mr. Xuanhezi is here!"

The ministers also shouted, and their voices sounded in the hall one after another, unlike the two sentences that the court said numbly to the two people at the top every day, and there was only respect in this sentence.

It is the respect that students have for their husbands.

A figure walked in from outside the door of the main hall, and every step was neither arrogant nor humble, as if he was still walking in the countryside when he was still in Luojia Village.

"A commoner has come to discuss politics with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" he said in a loud voice, bowing to the two above, but his knees did not bend the whole time.

"Bold! When you see Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, you don't kneel, what is your intention?" The eunuch standing beside Mingzhu screamed, as if he wanted to show his wisdom in front of his master.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is my student, and the Manchu Dynasty is also counted as my student, and I don't kneel to my own student. Kuroko's face was extremely serious, and this sentence sounded full of anger, which was very disrespectful!

Immediately afterward, the hall was solemn, the silence was terrifying, and the eyes of all the ministers were like several swords shining with cold light staring at the eunuch who couldn't speak.

Even Mingzhu looked at him like this, and said coldly: "You don't have to follow you to Zichen Hall in the future." ”。

This time, this eunuch obviously didn't guess the master's mind, he thought he was smart and stupid, and he also walked out of the hall with a dejected appearance, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess didn't say it explicitly, but he probably didn't live for three days.

After following her for a few years, he still understands her vicious nature.

After that, she closed her eyes, not thinking about the problem, but his "my student", like a knife piercing the softest place in her heart, her eyes were a little moist, but in front of the ministers, she obviously couldn't do this, which lost her majestic posture.

After stabilizing her mood, she said coldly: "This palace will let Mr. Kuroko be the prime minister, how about the official residence?"

This sentence seems to be asking him himself, or a group of ministers.

"If Mr. doesn't speak, then it will be allowed, and the palace has also allowed Mr. to stand in the court to discuss politics in the future, so let's retire from the court!" she said coldly, without the slightest emotion.

"I will do my best to return the peace and mountains of Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!" he bowed down to the two people in the upper seat, but for some reason, after saying the word "Taiping", he was inexplicably disgusted with these two words.

It's not that he doesn't like to see social stability and people living and working in peace and contentment, but it's like doing too much of a thing, and he will get bored after many times.

And so the crowd dispersed.

After retreating to the court, Mingzhu walked back to the Zichen Hall alone, and cried in the deserted hall, and the cry echoed in the empty hall for a long time, making people uncomfortable to listen to.

She still can't restrain her emotions, and the indifference she deliberately made to him is actually self-deception.

Another three years have passed, and the country of Qi has been really taken care of by sunspots, and it is peaceful everywhere, and there are few chickens and dogs. In the past three years, he has reduced the people's taxes, and has carried out a major reform, so that the people no longer feel that the army is lowly and lowly.

If this continues, the root cause that Qi Guo originally planted will be solved sooner or later.

In the past, only scholars respected Mr. Kuroko, but now he is an illiterate charcoal seller who knows it...... Everyone in the Qi Kingdom knows that there is a Mr. Kuroko who is very respectable.

Today, in the Zichen Palace, a group of ministers frowned and looked at Mr. Kuroko, who was speechless.

A few months ago, the Zhou State invaded the borders of the Qi State again, and captured several cities, although the Qi State did have a thriving scene under Mr. Heizi's reforms, but the freezing three feet was not a day's cold, and the scene of the poor soldiers and silent martial arts had only been slightly improved in the past three years.

Qi still didn't have a general who could lead troops to fight, and all the ministers also looked at Mr. Kuroko to listen to what he had to say.

And he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was in deep thought, and after a long time: "I want to hear what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has to say." ”。

The ministers did not speak immediately, but the frowning brows that became tighter and tighter showed that they were a little reluctant.
