What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 113 Chapter 110
"You let the snake go first."

Pei Yi put the spear back on the weapon rack, which was filled with all kinds of weapons that could be bought in the small town below the mountain, much more than she wanted.

He has tried his best to satisfy her wish, but she is stingy in responding to his affection?

He is no longer the watchman in Duan Wang's mansion, and she is not some kind of princess who does not eat fireworks.There is no reason in the world to accept favors from others without being grateful.

"go."

The black-scaled snake moved and hid among the flowers and plants, and the ground was clean and unobstructed. Even the common small insects in the southern border were dispersed by the herbs planted in the watchtower.

Pei Yi no longer worried, walked briskly in front of the watchtower, jumped on him with her neck around his neck, her legs were firmly hooked behind his waist.

She had wanted to do this a long time ago. Infected by the bright and bold atmosphere of Southern Xinjiang, she seemed to have returned to the state of a girl with both parents.

Avoiding him blindly, avoiding him, how could he give him a chance, how could he give himself a chance?
You have to try to know whether she is willing to accept this love.

When she jumped up, the watchtower was afraid that she would slip, and instinctively supported her thigh.However, she jumped too high, and when he realized that there was a soft touch in his hand, he immediately retracted his hand, but he didn't know where to touch her.

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain. Didn't you say that there is a lot of fun in the city these days, so let's go and live in the city for a few days."

Without the support from the watchtower, Pei Yi slid down a little bit from him, and the hands that had just left immediately supported her again, as if she had already realized her acquiescence and connivance.

"It's good, but..."

Wanglou's words were interrupted by another kiss from Pei Yi, but this time she penetrated through the gap between his teeth before he could close it in time, and gently but firmly gave him a deep kiss that he dreamed of.

"Who can recognize us now? Don't worry, no one will question us even if we have never left Southern Border."

Pei Yi intertwined her and his braids and separated them. The evening light reflected on her face, which was more beautiful than the sun, the moon and the stars.

She fits so well here.All the brilliance and wildness that had been wiped out in the capital are re-exposed in the most suitable soil for her.

Wanglou approached involuntarily, and licked her wet lips when she looked down at him.

Thanks to the countless gods in this land, she finally loved him a little more.

"Hey? What are you doing in the house?"

Pei Yi, who was being carried into the house by the watchtower, patted him on the shoulder, making him stop without knowing it.

"Don't you want a change of clothes? Aren't we all dirty?"

His answer made Pei Yi secretly relieved, she thought...

Forget it, what can he do to her.After so many days of getting along, he was even more disciplined than when he was in the palace. Not only did he go back to his room early every night, he even called her for dinner in the morning and only called her through the door.

She was just thinking about it.

"Yes, I forgot..."

After tidying up a small bundle, the watchtower handed it to Pei Yi who was sitting on a chair waiting for him, then squatted down in front of her again, motioning her to come up.

"It's so far down the mountain, can I walk by myself?"

Even though she said this, Pei Yi still raised the corners of her mouth quietly, and leaned on his broad back without hesitation.

"Put me down when you're tired."

"Why are you tired from carrying you?"

Like a stone breaking the ice on the heart lake, Wanglou's blurted words are more touching than all his disguises and calculations.

Pei Yi pursed her lips and stared at the back of his head for a few breaths, then pressed closer to him.

This kind of answer that was taken for granted because she cared so much was a partiality that she hadn't heard for many years.Although a bit hypocritical, in all fairness, she really liked the feeling of being held in his hands carefully.

In those days when King Duan treated her best, he also had his big affairs in his heart, and even asked her to take care of his low self-esteem and pride.

Although she never complained, she would be slightly disappointed with her moody husband-in-law.

Whenever she has more affection for Wanglou, she will wonder whether the affection she once had for Duan Wang is considered love?

If so, why can she accept Wanglou's favor so easily?

If not, why do you always compare him with Watchtower?
Since He Li, since he left Southern Border incognito, why should he abide by some etiquette and dogma, treat himself as a tomb, and never be tempted again?
Whether she really loved Wei Huairen or not, it's over.

What she thought had been in the sea was actually not really her, suitable for her lover.

"...Then don't let me go."

Her voice was not loud, almost drowned by the wind and insects in the forest, but he could hear her clearly.

"never."

Beijing.

Fifth day of May.Dragon boat viewing platform.

Shangguan Lu Yong and Mrs. Lu came in the same carriage. When they arrived, they realized that although the seats were reserved for two people, the officials and their companions were free to move around on the viewing platform, not from the beginning to the end. sit together.

"My family is really serious. Why is the barbarian in Monan so anxious to see him? If he doesn't go by himself, it's a pleasure to order others. Let Yongyong and you brothers and sisters not even have a full Dragon Boat Festival."

It was still early, Mrs. Lu and Shangguan Lu Yong were standing in front of the railing, gossiping.

"Ma'am, you are serious. Mrs. Lu is the leader of the imperial court. My brother has been supported and supported. Naturally, he has to work hard to live up to his mission. And Mrs. Lu remembered to bring me today. I am so happy that I am too late!"

Lu Yong's words coaxed Mrs. Lu to feel very comfortable, and she wanted to say a few words to Lu Yong, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Yuanzhi who had been waiting on the seat for a long time.

Lu Yuanzhi rode a horse and followed Madam Lu's carriage on the road. Up to now, Shangguan Lu Yong only sticks to Madam Lu's side, chatting and laughing, except for a few greetings with Lu Yuanzhi when they get on and off the carriage, and even his eyes are different. Did not give him.

The son's resentful gaze forced Mrs. Lu to stop chatting with Shangguan Lu Yong. She used the excuse that Her Royal Highness was coming soon, and urged Shangguan Lu Yong to go back to the seat and sit down first, and then come to watch the dragon boat with her later.

"Miss Shangguan."

Finally, when Shangguan Lu Yong came, Lu Yuanzhi poured her a cup of tea, and let her see the multicolored silk thread on his wrist quietly.

The bony hands protruding from the blue official robe are very eye-catching, and Shangguan Lu Yong naturally saw the out of place and even gaudy color at a glance.

"Why do you wear so many four!"

Shangguan Lu Yongzai carefully counted the four knots above, and looked at Lu Yuanzhi in disbelief.

Does this person like to wrap his wrists into rice dumplings?
If she hadn't remembered that there were people around, she would have been unable to suppress her voice.

"Doesn't it look good?"

Lu Yuanzhi turned his wrist, and stretched it out in front of her eyes as if she was afraid she couldn't see clearly.

"Miss Shangguan gave me seven silk ropes, except for the three that were distributed to my parents and Zezhi, the rest are here. After all, it was Miss Shangguan's kindness, so it would be a waste to leave them idle."

Shangguan Lu Yong looked back from Lu Yuanzhi's wrist to his face, rolled his dark eyes, sat up straight and looked at him and asked word by word:

"Lu Yuanzhi, do you like me?"

Lu Yuanzhi's usual three-point smile froze on his face, and he suddenly lowered his eyes to look at the table, and his outstretched wrist was retracted into his sleeve and fell back to his lap.

It was an embarrassment like never before.

When Lu Yuan's mind was in chaos and he didn't know what to say, with a loud singing, everyone got up and saluted to the highest point of the viewing platform.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

It was as if a scoop of cold water was suddenly poured into a boiling pot. Even after they were seated, the people in the seats did not chat any more, they just concentrated on looking at the water surface not far away, waiting for the dragon boat to appear.

Some people who wanted to continue the conversation that was interrupted just now were tugged at their sleeves by the people around them, and quietly gestured to several men in black on the other side with their eyes.

Those men in black didn’t know when they appeared, let alone how long they had been standing among the people on the opposite bank or on the high places of the pavilions, and how long they had been watching. I’m afraid that apart from a few new scholars who had just entered the court, no one dared to stand in front of Xuan Yu. Wei Wei's eyes were full of willfulness.

Xiao Qi stood with his hands behind his back in the center of an arch bridge, and he had a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the river.On one side are the bustling people, and on the other side are officials who are silent and dare not meet his eyes.

Whoever has a ghost in his heart will dodge and be afraid.This is instinct, and no one can overcome it.

Sometimes it is not necessary for Xuanyu Siduo to have supernatural powers and his hands and eyes are open to the sky. He only needs to see which family is in trouble after something happens, and he can follow the clues.

It's just funny that, even though Xuan Yusi's reputation was comparable to that of Yama Hall under the slander of those who cared, the people didn't regard them as great adults, and even some clues that had nowhere to turn had to be passed to Xuan Yusi to get justice.

Just as Xiao Qi looked over, there were three tall and burly Xuan Yuwei who were honestly squeezed behind by the elders and aunts because they blocked the sight of the people around them.

"... Stand guard and stand guard. You are so big and you don't know how to stand back. You don't look at the dragon boat, so don't block us."

But Xiao Qi was used to being clean-eyed, and because Wei Huai'en was sitting too high to see, he didn't have the heart to look at anyone carefully, so he didn't notice that there was an overly eager gaze on him from the viewing platform.

Dragon boats organized spontaneously by the imperial guards and common people from all walks of life in the capital came one after another, surrounded by the largest dragon and phoenix state in the middle, which was carved with dragons and phoenixes.

The dragon and phoenix boat is the largest in size but the lightest in draft. It seems that the shape and description of the ship was specially made for the first female emperor of the Liang Dynasty. In fact, it is a model ship newly built by Mrs. Ning Yu under the leadership of the Ministry of Industry, which will soon be used for north-south water transportation.

After Wei Huaien's brief opening, all the dragon boats waved to both sides of the strait, setting off bursts of applause and cheers.Following Wei Huai'en's order, he broke through the water like an arrow leaving the string.

This is the starting point and the end point. The dragon boat will follow the waterway until the mouth of the canal and then turn back, so that the people in the capital can feast their eyes.It is estimated that it will take half an hour to go there and back, so Wei Huai'en went into the pavilion where the viewing platform was relying on after the dragon boat was gone.

With Her Royal Highness absent, Xuan Yuwei naturally relaxed a lot.The sharp-eyed officials saw that the man in black standing on the arch bridge was no longer there, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and the viewing platform became free again.

Lu Yuanzhi was about to say something to Shangguan Lu Yong, but Jiang Hong came over.

"Miss Shangguan, why are you here alone? Where is Mr. Shangguan?"

Jiang Hong spoke honestly to Lu Yuan, and only spoke to Shangguan Lu Yong.

"General Jiang."

Shangguan Lu Yong got up and gave a polite salute, and moved to the open space in front of Lu Yuanzhi to distance himself from Jiang Hong.

"My brother has important business to attend to and is not in the capital. If General Jiang has anything to say to him, it's better to wait another day."

Compared with Jiang Hong's attitude of wanting to greet, Shangguan Lu Yong deliberately treated him coldly, making Jiang Hong's eyes darken, and forced a smile to invite:

"Since Mr. Shangguan is not here, why don't Ms. Shangguan sit with my mother? She is boring in front alone, and the scenery is better there."

Everyone on the viewing platform formed a circle and intersected, and no one paid attention to the three people in the back seat.

"General Jiang, Lu Yuanzhi, the son of the lower kingdom, is entrusted by Lord Shangguan to my family to take care of Miss Shangguan today. General Jiang kindly invites you, but it still depends on Miss Shangguan's wishes, right?"

Lu Yuanzhi gave Shangguan Lu Yong a reassuring look, and stood between her and Jiang Hong, waiting for her to answer.

In theory, even Shangguan Luming's rank is lower than Jiang Hong's, not to mention Lu Yuanzhi who has no real power.But he stood there like he would support her no matter what she said,

"I'm not going. It's very good here. General Jiang, you'd better go back and be with your mother."

Jiang Hong seemed to be holding something in his hand, but Lu Yuanzhi blocked Shangguan Lu Yong's sight just right.

"General Jiang, please go back. I'm a guest of the Lu family and don't need others to worry about it."

Lu Yuanzhi's fox eyes turned cold, and he didn't fear the pressure of the generals on Jiang Hong at all, obviously he wanted to protect Shangguan Lu Yong behind him.

Jiang Hong, who had nothing to say, was still unwilling to back down. After a few moments of stalemate with him, Shangguan Lu Yong tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve behind him.

"Lu Yuanzhi, let's go blow some air."

Jiang Hong's shoulders suddenly sank, he turned and walked away without saying anything.

Lu Yuanzhi turned around:
"He has already left, do you still want to stay here? My mother is not sitting with the Jiang family, so you can still chat with her."

"Lu Yuanzhi, you all know that, don't you?"

Shangguan Lu Yong pointed to an empty water pavilion, motioning for Lu Yuanzhi to go with her.

There are answers to all the strange things about this person. Although she is not in the court, she is not ignorant of world affairs.

The Lu family has a lot of power, in order to avoid suspicion, Lu Yuanzhi, who was admitted to the imperial examination earlier than her brother, has been staying away from the official position with real power, but even when facing Jiang Hong, he dared to speak badly.

In order to win over Shangguan Luming, it was this person who had been negotiating marriage with her.Now that Her Majesty is in charge, what else does the Lu family want to do?Use her Shangguan family to surrender to His Majesty the Queen?
Shangguan Lu Yong knew that these official families in the capital had engraved the rules and etiquette into their bones, and would never accept her daughter-in-law who dared to act out of line while still in her boudoir, so she didn't think Mrs. Lu's kindness could have much sincerity .

What's more, she didn't want to climb high branches, she just wanted to be worthy of her heart.But if anyone puts their minds on her and her brother, she is definitely not a fool to be deceived.

　I'm so disappointed in you Wanglou, why did you act like a good person when you arrived in southern Xinjiang?You'd better really turn your back on it.

　　Wanglou: What does it mean to be like a good person?Keep your voice down, don't let Yi'er hear you (release the snake).
