The queen is so fierce

Chapter 23
"Xu Gongzi has both political integrity and talent, but you still doubt him! It's a gentleman who is respectful, and a villain is jealous!"

"Yes, yes, the first time I saw Xu Gongzi, I thought he was not that kind of person... so handsome..."

"If I can marry him as a side room, I will have no regrets in this life~"

"The side room? The slave family is willing to be a concubine! Young Master Xu, look at me~!"

After the initial quiet, Longyuan Pavilion became a mess
Needless to say, Qiu Shilian, after the courtier who was jealous and thoughtful just now, was also stunned by the lady of the official family who held a group.

Standing on the high platform, Xu Shoujing looked at a group of nympho-like young ladies from the official family below. He was speechless and always felt that he was being watched by civilization.

Want to see you but buy tickets?

Cough... Although I was thinking about these things in my heart, on the surface, Xu Shoujing still looked like a gentle and easy-going son, smiling at several celebrities from time to time, which caused the other party to be infinitely shy.

"Young Master Xu's literary talent, the old man admires it." Kong Wenqing came from behind, half a hundred years old, and bowed his hands respectfully.

Xu Shoujing hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this kind of petty trouble won't make it to the stage, old gentleman, don't break me."

"..." Kong Wenqing's warm smile froze, and his eyes became unkind.

Even Qiu Shilian's stick can tell that these few poems are unusual. He has been dealing with books for most of his life, so how could he not be able to see them?
Kong Wenqing believed that he could not write such verses, so he admired Xu Shoujing's literary talent very much, even to the point of admiration.

Worship is worship... what do you mean?
Okay, knowing that you have talent, talent will not lie, even if those people in the court are suffocated, they must admit that you are a talented and talented person with both civil and military skills.

But one thing is one thing, you have to come here and beat others to pieces to be happy?
At the moment, Mr. Kong, who has students all over the world, has the urge to turn around and leave for the first time.

Of course Xu Shoujing didn't think about it that much. He just said a few words of courtesy. Seeing that he didn't speak, he thought his body was ill. Out of courtesy, he said with concern:

"Does the old man have a dark disease?"

"...?"

Kong Wenqing's eyes widened, you actually cursed me? !
Do you have dark sickness?The old man is old, but haven't you heard of "Oldness grows stronger"?

Forget it, can't afford it, can't hide it?

Kong Wenqing didn't want to talk anymore, said "Farewell", and left in a hurry, he was going to record the three poems quickly.

"Great nephew! You are so amazing, you don't even know how ugly Qiu Shilian's face was when he left... Haha..."

Qiu Shangyun climbed to the stage excitedly, wishing he could hug Xu Shoujing for two bites, but after finding that he was the only one left on the stage, he couldn't help but ask:
"Huh? Where did Miss Ranxi go?"

Seeing that this guy actually dared to appear in front of him, Xu Shoujing was full of black lines, and said angrily:

"Don't worry about others, I have something to tell you."

Qiu Shangyun blinked his lovely big eyes, tilted his head and said:

"say what?"

Xu Shoujing was about to speak, but he looked left and right and found that the place was too noisy and not a good place to talk, so he frowned and said:

"Let's go first, we'll talk later."

Qiu Shangyun said "oh" and followed behind Xu Shoujing who was about to step down.

As soon as they stepped off the high platform, the ladies of the official family in Luo skirts rushed over, looking at the little lamb slaughtered hesitantly, and they were the big she-wolves who could sit on the ground and suck soil.

"Xu Gongzi, slave family..."

"Little Sao Hoof, go aside... Young Master Xu, the little girl is..."

Xu Shoujing's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Qiu Shangyun who was almost fainted by the woman's fragrance, picked him up, and jumped out with two big strides.

"Ah... Young Master Xu, wait for me..."

"Young Master Xu, don't be shy~"

The girls obviously did not expect Xu Shoujing to make this move, and they chased after each other.

The entire Longyuan Pavilion is rushing towards the first floor, and the second floor looks extraordinarily clean.

Ranxi sat in front of the dressing table, took off the veil, and slowly revealed her snow-white muscles, her face was lined with the morning glow, and her vermilion red lips pressed against the bronze mirror, as if she had made up her mind.

"咚咚-"

The maid knocked on the door and came in. Seeing her young lady staring at the bronze mirror in a daze, she wondered:

"Miss, you are..."

Ranxi heard the movement, looked back and smiled:
"I won't go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

The maid was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Miss, you have waited..."

Ranxi slowly shook her head, and after a while, facing the maid's suspicious gaze, her red lips lightly opened:

"I found it."

After a pause, his face became complicated again: "He is the last hope..."

The maid looked at the young lady in this sad riddle, and scratched her head for unknown reasons.

She didn't understand, but she was shocked.

……

……

"Oh... nephew..."

"Wait, slow down... lightly..."

"It's too fast... can't stand it..."

The sunset is close to the horizon, and the morning glow is flying in the sky.

Xu Shoujing carried Qiu Shangyun into the palace, and the guards at the gate saw the two of them.

Eunuch Liu followed three generations of emperors. Although he was an eunuch, he was considered an old man in the palace.They naturally have to give a three-point thin face, but their duties should not be sloppy. One of them said:

"Eunuch Liu, this..."

Eunuch Liu sighed and said, "That's the Young Sect Master of Longyumen and His Royal Highness King Zhao, let's all go back."

The guards suddenly realized that they didn't dare to neglect, they said "Thank you, Eunuch Liu" and returned to their posts.

Eunuch Liu put the whisk in his arms, looked at Xu Shoujing and the two leaving with strange eyes, and recalled the "words of tigers and wolves" that he overheard in his mind.

After a long while, he shook his head and sighed, and walked towards the palace.

"Hey, what if the sage knows this..."

-

With a sound of "thumping", Qiu Shangyun's petite and weak body was thrown to the ground, a small face like a woman was distorted, and he stared at the condescending black-clothed son with anger in his eyes, and said hatefully:
"what are you doing?!"

Xu Shoujing glanced at him and said coldly, "What do you think?"

After being murdered for a while, Qiu Shangyun hesitated for a second, shrinking his neck. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know where he had provoked him. After a while, he asked uncertainly:

"Is it because Miss Ranxi left you without saying goodbye?"

Xu Shoujing's face turned even darker.

"Think about it again."

"But I can't think of it..."

"Continue to think until you think about it."

"But..." Qiu Shangyun looked around uneasily, and at a glance, he saw the luxurious palace behind the doorway not far away, and whispered: "...This is Sister's bedroom..."

"..." Xu Shoujing suddenly stared, "You didn't say it earlier!"

"You didn't ask..." Qiu Shangyun said aggrievedly. As soon as the words fell, he saw that Xu Shoujing wanted to mess with himself again, and he quickly waved his hands and stepped back:
"Don't, don't, just say it here. My sister is usually in the study and rarely goes back to the bedroom..."

Only then did Xu Shoujing breathe a sigh of relief, and then he glared at him fiercely:
"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Qiu Shangyun knew very well that if he couldn't say it, he would probably be tossed again. His brain was running fast. After thinking about it for a while, he was not sure:
"Is it because I gave you up?"

Seeing that Qiu Shangyun still didn't understand, Xu Shoujing sighed silently, raised his hand to lift him up, stood up, and said seriously:

"I don't blame you for confessing me, including the fact that you dared to admit in front of so many people that you didn't write the poem by yourself. That is also your own choice. I have no position to blame you."

"Then you still treat me like this..." Qiu Shangyun looked aggrieved.

"But you shouldn't say things like 'I won't enter Zi Mo in this life'."

Xu Shoujing's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Do you know how stupid you are? Your royal sister is thinking about how to deal with those who are trying to usurp the throne every day. It's better for you, don't help her, just think about it. Try to make it harder for her."

"I don't know much about imperial power, but I also know that in the world it is not strength that can decide everything. Even if it is a powerful person who has reached the Profound Night Realm, if he dares to ignore the slaughter of mortals in a continent, he will definitely attract backlash from heaven. The same is true of imperial power. This truth, don't look at your imperial sister's high cultivation level, but the court problem cannot be solved with fists alone."

"You can still live such a heartless life until now, which shows how well your imperial sister has protected you. It is estimated that you have never been involved in those intriguing things, and all the conspiracies against you are her own. Just to make you feel more relaxed."

"But what about you? I won't talk about poetry, everyone can have hobbies, but can you be more motivated? Your royal sister is already very tired. If you take more responsibility, will it make your royal sister more economical? Heart?"

Serious tone, sentence sentence.

"me……"

Qiu Shangyun had never heard anyone say anything in this regard, but he felt a sudden awakening feeling in his heart. His young heart, who was only 13 years old, was so ashamed of what he said, and his tears couldn't stop falling down.

"Big... nephew, I... I... woo woo..."

"Don't cry. Others can cry at the age of 13, that's because they are ordinary people, but you are the king of Zhao, and unlike the princes of the past, you are still the prince of the country who is likely to carry Dali in good faith."

After all, with Aunt Chu's orders, maybe your imperial sister will be abducted by me... Xu Shoujing added in his heart.

Qiu Shangyun wiped away his tears with all his might, and suppressed himself from crying, but he couldn't help it, hugged Xu Shoujing with a "wow", and wiped his tears with his clothes.

"..." Xu Shoujing.

Clothes don't need to be washed, right?
As night fell, the palace lanterns hung from the eaves lit faintly.

In the dimly lit yard, the sobbing gradually subsided, Qiu Shangyun took a sharp nose, raised his head again, his eyes resolutely said:
"Nephew, what should I do?"

Tonight seems to be the night of his sharp changes. His voice is still that of a little girl, his face still looks like a woman, but his temperament has changed slightly.

Only then did Xu Shoujing nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Let's try to cultivate first, I'm afraid it's not realistic for you to deal with the court now. You can cultivate, and when the time comes, you can shock the world, or you can make a fortune in silence. You do it, and you have to weigh it."

But it is estimated that there is no such opportunity. After all, whoever dares to touch him, I am afraid that he will be chased and killed by Qiu Xuanji for a lifetime.

"But... I've never practiced before, and I don't know what my talent is..." Qiu Shangyun said worriedly.

Xu Shoujing rolled his eyes and said speechlessly:

"What is your identity? Do you still need to worry about this? Take a step back, even if your talent is so poor that no one will accept you, can I teach you? Although I have just started, I have a 16-year-old Disciple of Tongmai Realm, no matter how useless you are, can she be as useless as you are?"

Qiu Shangyun was so moved that his tears were about to fall again: "Great nephew... You are so kind to me..."

"This is called being nice to you? Then..."

The words were interrupted, Xu Shoujing suddenly felt the temperature behind him suddenly rise, turned his head to look, it seemed that a fire was ignited, and he couldn't help frowning:
"Fire?"

While speaking, the temperature was still rising, making people feel that the air seemed to be thinner.

Xu Shoujing secretly thought that something was wrong. Just as he was about to mention Qiu Shangyun and run away, he heard a "thump" from the source of the temperature, as if someone fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was a small step of the maid and an anxious voice:

"Your Highness! Your Highness!... Come on someone, the Holy One has fainted... Come on someone...!"

Qiu Shangyun's small face froze because of the sudden change, and exclaimed:

"Sister!"

……

A quarter of an hour ago.

Qiu Xuanji reviewed the memorial in the study.

Although she has never been to the early court since the imperial competition, she has not missed any official duties, and she discusses political affairs with her confidants on time every day.

The secret propaganda of those ministers outside in order to make Qiu Xuanji take back his life, "the holy man did not go to court early for several days because of his surname Xu," is naturally a non-existent matter.

There is an incense burner in the center of the palace, surrounded by incense.Different from ordinary spices, this herb is smoked by the method of "taking flavor without taking smoke".

This is Qiu Xuanji's favorite incense. The fragrance is fresh and long-lasting. Every time she reviews the memorial, she will ask the maid to light it. This fragrance can keep her calm and think about problems.

But today, even 'banning smoking in China and Africa' failed to calm her down.

It's not that the heart is irritable, but the karmic fire in the body is getting more and more uncontrollable.

Half a year ago, it was once every seven days, but since that day in Mengjiangchi, I have been engulfed in karma for two consecutive nights, and there is no way I can review the memorial.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a break?" A court lady in a green dress came forward with a tea tray and bowed in a salute.

As one of the female officials who had been with Qiu Xuanji, she could see that the saint's physical condition was worse than ever.

This difference is even directly reflected in the complexion.

However, Qiu Xuanji only shook her head slowly towards her proposal, picked up the tea cup from the tea tray, took a sip, felt that her mouth was tasteless, sighed, and put it back:
"Need not."

The female official sighed secretly, and wanted to continue to persuade, when Eunuch Liu walked in with a whisk in hand, he hesitated, then bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Xu Gongzi took His Royal Highness Prince Zhao towards your bedroom..."

"?"

The female official was stunned, although she didn't understand what the two were trying to do, but this was a good opportunity to persuade the saint to rest, and quickly said:

"Sir, do you want to go take a look? It's just a matter of relaxing, sitting here all the time is not a problem..."

The thing that Qiu Xuanji couldn't let go of the most was her little brother, she thought about it, nodded and agreed.

The female official was delighted, turned her head to look at Eunuch Liu, and expressed her thanks with her eyes, but found that his eyes were very complicated, as if the world was about to end.

"...?"

Eunuch Liu noticed the question mark on the female official's head and sighed silently.

You are still too young. If the Holy Highness sees His Royal Highness King Zhao and Young Master Xu... oh, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The female official tilted her head and walked out behind Qiu Xuanji for unknown reasons.

-

Qiu Xuanji was anxious to know what the hell the two of them were doing, but she went to her own bedroom, and naturally she didn't have the heart to take a walk.

Flying over the imperial palace is prohibited, and even the people of Zhen Yaosi will be blocked by the domain formation set up by the first emperor. Although Qiu Xuanji was able to fly for a while by virtue of his cultivation, there was a mistake in his cultivation, and he obviously couldn't come. With such a hand, he had to walk through the long veranda.

Although it is walking, but the ability to shrink the ground into an inch is a little high-end cultivator. It seems that walking is not fast, but in fact, it is a long distance in one or two steps.

The maid who followed behind almost doubted her life, but she didn't dare to shout "Sage, wait for slaves." She could only grit her teeth and run wildly behind.

Qiu Xuanji came to the periphery of his bedroom, looking at the yard that he had never been to a few times, and wondered if he had found the wrong place.

After all, since the death of the late emperor, there has been almost no one in the harem, and the palace is unreasonably large.

But after seeing two figures, one big and one small, standing in the yard, Qiu Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if it's because these two goods didn't enter my boudoir, or because I didn't find the wrong place.

Qiu Xuanji calmed down and was about to step forward when she heard—

"Your royal sister is thinking about how to deal with those who are trying to usurp the throne every day. It's better for you, don't help her, and try to make her more difficult..."

Qiu Xuanji's cold Feng Rong was startled, and her footsteps paused slightly.

The young man in black in the yard had a serious face, and kept lecturing the boy who was wiping his tears. Every sentence was just right. top.

Unconsciously, after listening to the conversation between the two, Qiu Xuanji's phoenix eyes, which used to be majestic, revealed unprecedented complexity.

Her eyes stayed on the smile that the black-clothed boy finally showed. It was the first time she looked at a person so seriously, as if she wanted to see him through.

Thirteen years ago, her father had never spoken to her, knowing that she was devoted to the Tao, he threw Dali's world to her, so she dared not complain.

Because this is for her younger brother...blood is thicker than water, blood and kinship, these are all taught by her mother since she was a child.

Therefore, she has been conscientious and conscientious over the years, taking into account both cultivation and government affairs. Even if she makes mistakes in her cultivation, she does not dare to slack off. Even though she knows that everything she does now is to make a wedding dress for Qiu Shangyun.

... no complaints.

How could there be no complaints...?
The grievances buried in the bottom of my heart, the dissatisfaction that has been ignored all the time, were all revealed bloody with Xu Shoujing, an unreasonable intruder.

Qiu Xuanji raised her head, her pride did not allow herself to show weakness, because this was her way.

Even though the Dao Heart has long been troubled by the troubles of the court, cracks have already developed...

Qiu Xuanji's face turned bitter, and the fire in her heart became more and more turbulent. It seemed that the karmic fire that had been suppressed so far had finally reached a critical point.

boom--!
The monstrous flames dissipated the nebula, and the surrounding vegetation had withered away without touching the flames.

The female officer who rushed over hurriedly didn't have time to rest for a moment, and was panting when she saw Qiu Xuanji lying unconscious on the ground, and suddenly fell to the ground with a staggering foot.

She didn't dare to stay, grabbed the ground and stood up, pounced on Qiu Xuanji's side and pushed a few times, trembling anxiously:
"Your Highness! Your Highness!... Come on someone, the Holy One has fainted... Come on someone...!"
