Chapter 10

Wen Su has always felt that she has quite a lot of ghost ideas, but in such a situation, there is really no way out.

Innocence is ruined!
In comparison, the regent was much calmer. The expressions of the people in front of him were different, some were shocked, thoughtful or probing, but he seemed to have seen nothing, with one arm around Wen Su's waist, and the other propped up on the wall. It fell to the ground lightly and skillfully.

After standing still, he let go of his hand and stroked the wrinkled skirt, glanced at the red-faced Wen Su, glanced at the crowd, and said in a neutral tone, "What did you all see?"

"..." Everyone was silent for a while.

After a long time, someone finally broke the deadlock, and it was Zhou Xianda.He walked out unhurriedly, and bowed to Xiao Zheng, "I only saw that Mr. Wen was unwell, and the prince was sympathetic to his subordinates, and personally sent Mr. Wen down the mountain to return to his residence."

Xiao Zheng glanced at him with satisfaction, "Then when did this king leave?"

"At three quarters in the afternoon."

Wen Su silently looked at the sun, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon...

Mr. Zhou, you are such a fool!
Xiao Zheng didn't hesitate at all, he winked at Wen Su and walked away, the people around seemed to be pure air, he didn't care at all.

It was really embarrassing at this moment, since there was a chance to leave, Wen Su would naturally not stay, seeing the regent leaving, he hurriedly followed.

When Fugui arrived with the little emperor, he saw the regent taking Wen Su away without saying a word, behind him were petrified faces in the wind.

Qi Jian looked at Liu Ke with some worries, and saw that his face was full of shock and disbelief, and he was almost sluggish, which made him feel unbearable. If it weren't for the inconvenience of the crowd, he would definitely step forward and pat him on the shoulder to comfort him Fan.

The so-called people who are also reduced to the end of the world, Fu Qingyu is not much better, standing on the side with dazed eyes and complexion as pale as paper.

The little emperor turned his head left and right, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter? Why did uncle leave suddenly?"

Footsteps sounded beside him, and Xiao Duan Shi Shiran, dressed in white, approached, smiling sullenly and charmingly, "Don't worry, brother, don't you still have my brother as your company?"

"Then, what, Fugui!" The little emperor hurriedly waved to Fugui, "Show me, I...I want to go back!"

They left the mountain gate one after the other, walked down the long steps, and remained silent.

They got into the carriage of the palace one after the other, and drove along, still silent.

It wasn't until entering the city that the hustle and bustle of people outside the car broke the silence, and Xiao Zheng said unhurriedly: "This king can take responsibility for this matter."

Wen Su's body trembled suddenly, and she carefully looked at his expression, her phoenix eyes were half down, her face was as sinking as water, and she couldn't see what was going on in his heart at all.

"However, if you give Wen Qing the title at this time, it will definitely attract criticism. Let's wait until after the marriage is successful. At that time, the New Deal will be withdrawn, and you don't need to be an official..."

"My lord..." Seeing that the rest of my life was about to be planned, Wen Su hurriedly stopped her and said, "This fact was an accident, and my lord didn't mean it. If I want my lord to be responsible, I really feel ashamed."

She has self-knowledge, how could she be worthy of being the regent?Even if she married him at that time, she would be a concubine at most.Her father said that she would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine.She didn't need to lose the happiness of the rest of her life just because she touched her lip, right?

But the Regent didn't understand it that way.As a man, hearing such a polite refusal, his self-esteem would be frustrated.

Why is this king not as good as you want?

This thought made Xiao Zheng very upset. He looked up, his eyes half-closed, revealing a faint light, "So, Wen Qing, do you want me to be responsible?"

Maybe it was because the tone was too weird, Wen Su looked up suspiciously, but when he saw his face, he hurriedly lowered his head.

It wasn't that he was shocked by his eyes, but it was just that he brushed his elegant lips so hard that he couldn't die, and his cheeks felt hot and ashamed.

"Wang, I understand the good intentions of the prince, but the fault of this matter is the fault of the subordinate, and naturally the subordinate should bear it all. How dare I ask the prince to be responsible."

Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth suddenly with an unknown fire in his heart, "Okay, then it's up to you, just let it go!"

Anyway, all the onlookers in the temple were settled, and it would be best to just expose it.Wen Su held his chin in confusion, but why did you say it so furiously, my lord?
The two of them didn't have another word, and they were silent all the way.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion. Wen Su was about to get out of the carriage when he opened the curtain and heard the sound of horseshoes rushing to his ears.She looked up, and saw a person and a horse galloping towards the setting sun in an instant.

The visitor was dressed in the clothes of the imperial guards of the palace. When he saw Xiao Zheng who was leaning forward, he hurriedly got off his horse, but with one hand he was still protecting a package in front of his chest. He didn't know what treasure was inside.

"See you, my lord." Even after saluting, the man was still holding the package in one hand, his face was full of anxiety.

Xiao Zheng got out of the car, approached and asked, "What is that in your hand?"

While speaking, Wen Su also got out of the car, and came to the front curiously, and suddenly saw the package move, which made her take a step back in fright, "Oh, what is it?"

The guard bowed to the end, and said in a flustered voice: "Report to the prince, he is the son of the king of Shu."

"What?" Xiao Zheng was stunned.

Wen Su steadied his mind, stepped forward to untie the package from his arms, held it in his hand and saw that it was a sleeping baby as expected.

what's going on?
"My lord, let me tell you, we were ordered to take the son to Beijing. The journey was smooth, but we didn't want to encounter robbers when we were about to leave Shu, the son's nurse was killed, and the subordinates hurriedly took the son out and rushed on the road overnight, so that the son was safe. Send it to the palace."

After listening to the report, she didn't feel any movement of the baby in her arms for a long time, so Wen Su went to look at the baby in her arms carefully, and saw that his eyes were closed and his lips were bruised, obviously something was wrong.She quickly patted the child's face with her hand, but she didn't get any response.

Wen Su panicked, quickly calculated the date, and almost fainted, the total amount of before and after was less than one month.

That's the land of Shu. It only took about [-] days to get to the capital. Brother, you are faster than eight hundred miles, right?

"My lord, it's more important to save people first."

Wen Su's yelling attracted Xiao Zheng's attention, and when he saw the baby in her arms, his face suddenly sank, and he coldly shouted at the kneeling guard: "Hurry up and tell the imperial doctor!"

The guard was startled, and quickly got on his horse to deliver the order. Wen Su had already entered the mansion quickly with the child in his arms.

At dusk, Zhao Quan, who escorted the emperor and others back safely, went to report to Xiao Zheng, and when he walked to the west pavilion, he saw an imperial doctor coming out of the main room.

He thought that his master had encountered some accident on the road, so he rushed in in a panic, only to find that Xiao Zheng was standing beside the screen, and Wen Su beside him was shaking a child in his arms, humming softly. Singing, as if coaxing him to sleep...

Zhao Quan was in a mess in an instant, what speed are you doing, my lord?But it's only a few hours away, so there will be someone to succeed?

It is said that Wen Su, who later learned that he had this idea, chased him for two streets, determined to punish him.In the end, the regent showed mercy and punished him to copy the meditation mantra a thousand times, which is said to be a good cure for his mental illness.

The bustling capital city never fades at night, the ten-mile long street is illuminated by candles as bright as day, restaurants and teahouses are lined up on both sides, pedestrians are constantly coming and going, and the hustle and bustle is better than daytime.

However, there was a restaurant with dimly lit candles, and it was very quiet, because it was reserved by King Pingyang.

Since Xiao Duan left Xiangguo Temple, he was not in a hurry to go back to Prince Regent's Mansion, but sent someone to send a message to Lu Fang, and then came to the restaurant where he often met.

In the spacious private room on the second floor, Lu Fang sat opposite him, having a drink with each other. "Prince Pingyang only recruited one official to come here today, what is your order?"

If we usually get together, here are almost all the confidantes of King Pingyang in the court, not just him.

"It's not a dispatch, it's something I have to say."

Lu Fang was a little puzzled, "Dare to ask the prince what is the matter?"

Holding the wine cup lightly in his hand, his black eyes reflecting the candlelight, Xiao Duan is full of amorous feelings at this moment, but his expression is a bit ambiguous, "Something happened in Xiangguo Temple today, this king found that my uncle seems to be interested in a girl surnamed Wen. "

"What?" Lu Fang was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that the girl surnamed Wen in his mouth was referring to the female official Wen Su.

"Of course, the king is not very sure, but this matter has reminded the king."

"What wake up?"

Xiao Duan held his sleeve with his left hand, dipped the index finger of his right hand into the wine in the glass, and wrote two words on the table: Son of Heaven.

Lu Fang was startled, and then he heard him say: "We have worked so hard for this position, but uncle has never responded. However, today the king thought that maybe Wen Su is the gap in uncle's circle."

What he said was obscure, and Lu Fang didn't quite understand it at all, but when he saw King Pingyang's smile, he seemed very sure, so he shut up and didn't ask any more questions.

The evening breeze is cool, and the moon is in the sky.

Wen Su, who had no idea that she had been involved in an unknown vortex, walked out of the West Pavilion where the regent lived wearily, and beat her sore arms while walking.

The regent shouldn't have chosen the youngest son of the king of Shu. He was so young, he needed someone to take care of him for food, drink, and diarrhea. In addition, he fell ill due to the hardship of the journey. It's choking.

When she walked into her courtyard, she saw someone walking around the corner, and she hurriedly chased after him, only to see a section of blue clothes.

It was Fu Qingyu.

Only then did Wen Su recall that she was the one who discovered the incident during the day.At that time, she was only concerned about embarrassment, and didn't care about her mood at all. It must be very uncomfortable.

But that was pure accident...

Just as he was hesitating whether to find a chance to explain to her, there was a sound of steady footsteps behind him, and then the voice of the regent sounded: "Wenqing..."

Wen Su turned her head and met his hesitant face, feeling strange, "My lord, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Xiao Zheng coughed dryly, nodded, with an expression of indescribable embarrassment and distress, "You... go to sleep with me today."

"Huh?" Wen Su hugged his chest immediately, with a look of horror, "Why did you say such a thing, my lord?"

The regent is indeed gone.

When Wen Su was thinking this way, she was sitting leisurely basking in the sun by the corridor of the West Pavilion with the prince of Shu in her arms.

The imperial doctor said that the son was tired all the way, he didn't eat well, and he didn't see the sun for many days, so he needed to come out more to get some air.

She glanced up at the Prince Regent who was sitting next to her, then lowered her head and suppressed a desperate smile.

Self-inflicted...

It's funny to say, but I don't know why, this little prince just likes the regent very much. When he opened his eyes, he kept crying, but when he saw the regent, he stopped immediately.

Wen Su thought at first that he was frightened by the stern expression of the regent, but when he saw this kid smiling joyously, she was instantly embarrassed.

Last night when she was about to fall asleep, Wen Su wanted to take the doll back to sleep with good intentions, and the regent was happy to let it go, but just as he was about to leave, he burst into tears. Wen Su had no choice but to let him follow the regent up.

Afterwards, Xiao Zheng called a room full of maids and servants to serve this little ancestor, who knew that he just cried, and in the end Xiao Zheng had no choice but to hug him and coax him in a low voice, which shocked the whole room to petrification.

Xiao Zheng was very depressed, so he had no choice but to call Wen Su back in dismay.

Wen Su was so embarrassed, she was in the same room with the Prince Regent at night, her innocence was really gone.

But what can we do?This brat is so annoying, except for the regent, she is the only one who can touch him.

Xiao Zheng said: "Perhaps you were the first to hug him and save his life. He must have felt it."

Wen Su then asked sincerely: "Then why does he like you so much, my lord?"

Xiao Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a while, and replied more sincerely: "Maybe it's because I think this king is easy to get close to."

Wen Su turned her head silently, lord, there is no wind in the room, don't worry about flashing your tongue, you can just say it.

Fortunately, the annoying spirit was finally coaxed to sleep, but the regent didn't dare to disturb him, so he asked Wen Su to take him to sleep on his bed, while he went to the next room.

Sleeping on the bed of the powerful regent that night, Wen Su was very disturbed.

Fortunately, the child was a heavy sleeper and didn't wake up until three poles into the sun. Thanks to him, Wen Su was able to avoid going to bed early one day, and had a rare good night's sleep.

At this time, not long after the morning court ended, the regent returned to the mansion. Before he could change his court clothes, he was entangled by the little devil again.

He put down the book in his hand, and looked impatiently at the child in Wen Su's arms, "Is he asleep?"

Wen Su finally succeeded in holding back her laughter, and shook her head seriously.

Xiao Zheng is depressed, my king is busy with government affairs...

"My lord is not going to investigate the origins of those robbers?" Seeing Xiao Zheng's depression, Wen Su could only say something to divert his attention, "Even daring to rob the government's carriages and horses, it must be something not ordinary. "

Xiao Zheng snorted coldly: "The letter from the King of Shu has been delivered this morning, and he asked his son eagerly how everything is going. It's all obvious, why do we still need to check?"

Wen Su was stunned, "Could it be that the king of Shu did it himself?"

"He didn't dare to lie to the king and replace him with someone else, so he planned to keep him in the name of a robber. Unfortunately, the king's people are not vegetarians. It's delusional to want to take back his son!" Xiao Zheng said, his eyes dim She glanced at the child in her arms, "The rebellion is not over yet, so you can live well with my uncle."

Xiao Shizi smiled heartlessly at him with eyes like black grapes.

The embarrassing Wen Su had no choice but to change the subject again: "My lord, isn't this child one year old? Why is he still so young?" She was telling the truth, the guard hanging him around his neck yesterday was just a burden size only.

Xiao Zheng glanced at it, and said lightly: "At first glance, he was born less than a month old, very similar to when Duan'er was born."

When he said this, he stared at the child with very gentle eyes, which made Wen Su stunned, and it took him a while to realize that the "Duan'er" in his mouth refers to King Pingyang.

As if sensing Xiao Zheng's friendliness, the child opened his small hands and yelled at him, ready to pounce in his direction.Xiao Zheng frowned, and just as he was about to get up to leave, the child burst into tears with a surprisingly loud voice.

He had no choice but to bend down and hug him, his movements were very jerky, almost like pinching him.But the tone is very gentle: "My dear nephew, uncle loves you, don't cry..."

Wen Su lowered his head and shook his shoulders again.

"Wenqing, are you kidding me?"

"Ah?" Wen Su raised her head, met his gloomy face, and waved her hands hastily, "No, no, I'm just thinking, my lord is very good to my son, he's as close as a father and son, hehe..."

Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said with emotion: "This king will have an heir, but I don't know when."

"Huh? Why?" Wen Su was curious for a moment, and asked without paying attention.

Xiao Zheng glanced at her, and handed the child to her, "If you are more tired, the wet nurse will be here in the afternoon." After saying that, he turned and left, as if he hadn't said anything at all.

Wen Su suddenly felt that she didn't know anything about the Prince Regent except for his indifference and majesty.

In the afternoon, the wet nurse really came. Xiao Shizi bid farewell to his one-day life of rice cereal and officially returned to a reasonable diet. He expressed his joy and good mood.

In the evening, Dongde Zhuoyi sent a message, saying that he would invite Wen Su to the Chu Nan Hall in the city for a gathering.

Wen Su shook her hands when she received the post, feeling very melancholy.

Everyone knows what the Chu Nan Pavilion is, it is a brothel, but there are all men in it, and it is specially set up for high-ranking officials who are interested in Longyang or who are interested in novelty.

She felt that her innocence had become dust, which had been completely wiped away by the turbulent wind...

Although unwilling, the envoy must not offend.Wen Su knew that her only remaining value was here, and it would be dereliction of duty if she didn't take good care of them, so she changed her official uniform cautiously at night and drove to the Chu Nan Pavilion.

In the early summer night, there is a cool breeze, and I only feel comfortable when it blows on my face.

Chu Nan Pavilion stands quietly at the corner of the famous Flower Street in the city.

Wen Su lifted her skirt and got out of the car, raised her head, and a figure in white clothes was more snowy, with a smile in her eyes, and lotuses growing every step of the way.

"Prince Pingyang?" She was stunned, and turned her head stiffly to look at the large-character signboard of the Chu Nan Pavilion next to her, and twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's really a fate to meet you here..."

Xiao Duan pursed his lips and smiled, "Looking at your expression, it seems that you have misunderstood. This king is just passing by here, and I just came over to say hello when I saw you here."

"Ah, what a coincidence, hehe..."

Xiao Duan frowned, glanced at the signboard of the Chu Nan Pavilion, and jokingly said: "Since we're here, why don't we go in together."

Eh?Wen Su was stunned, and saw that he had already walked towards the door Shi Shiran.

Dongde Zhuoyi is a bold person, not to mention Xiao Duan is a handsome man, so seeing Wen Su bring him into the private room, he was not at all unhappy, on the contrary, he welcomed him very much.

Wen Su was a little apprehensive, because she didn't understand Xiao Duan's purpose for coming here at all.But for the other three, she can be more courageous if she has someone to accompany her.

The five people sat around a table regardless of priority, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but there was no young lady coming to accompany her as Wen Su imagined. It seems that Dongde Zhuoyi came to her to have something to say, not for fun .

The table was filled with wine and food in an instant, Xiao Duan got up, and poured wine for the four women spontaneously, with a calm expression, as if he didn't think that this move would humiliate his king.

Wen Su was terrified, while Dongde Zhuoyi looked normal, as if everything was as it should be.

"I've been busy with the trade between the two countries for the past few days, so I don't think it's surprising that Mr. Wen has been left out in the cold." Dongde Zhuo Yi raised his glass to Wen Su, smiling very friendly.

Wen Su hurriedly raised his glass in return, "Where, where, your envoys work hard, I admire you."

Dongde Zhuoyi grinned, and the golden headdress shone golden in the candlelight, "Da Liang implemented the New Deal not long ago, and Mr. Wen must have entered the officialdom not long ago. I wonder how he got the official title of fifth rank?"

Xiao Duan's face that had always been as warm as a spring breeze suddenly became a little stiff.

Wen Su knows that until today, the real test will be counted on the court.

She pursed her lips to pretend to be deep, but her heart felt like a mess.

In fact, as long as people want to find fault, they can always find an excuse.If the official rank is low, it means that women are not respected enough, but if it is high, it feels that the way is wrong.

Nothing is right!
"This..." She pondered for a while, then bit the bullet and said: "Actually, it was a bit of luck. Your Majesty thinks that the implementation of the New Deal seems to respect women on the surface, but it is actually an act of respecting your country, so as long as you meet the conditions , the official position given is not low, even the female staff member who is with me is also a sixth-rank official."

These words deliberately elevate Qinghai Kingdom, which made Dongde Zhuoyi very useful. He exchanged glances with the two people around him, and they were quite satisfied with each other.

Xiao Duan at the side secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and glanced at Wen Su with a smile.

"I'm very curious about one more thing." As soon as he recovered from his breath, Dongde Zhuoyi said again: "I heard that Mr. Wen is now living in the Prince Regent's Mansion. Since he is a dignified fifth-rank official, why don't he build another mansion? Said..." She dragged her tune on purpose, her half-closed eyes showed a little light, "Master Wen is actually just a puppet of the regent king? Your master is not the emperor, is he?"

Wen Su shook his hand, half of the wine in the glass was spilled.

Xiao Duan pursed his lips tightly, feeling a little displeased.Originally, he came here just to help Wen Su, so that he could get closer for further effect.Unexpectedly, the old fox of Dongde Zhuoyi regarded him as nothing, and aimed at Wen Su every word, obviously he had many doubts about the New Deal.

Wen Su swallowed her saliva, calmed down and said: "Your envoy has misunderstood again. I just entered the officialdom, and the mansion cannot be built in a day. It will take some time. In addition, the regent advocates frugality. Set up a courtyard in the mansion to settle this official, so with the current situation, there is no puppet to say that this official's master is Daliang's master, and Daliang will always belong to His Majesty the Emperor."

Dongde Zhuoyi's eyes flashed, and he stopped talking.

She is asking this question now because there are too many rumors about the regent in Qinghai. If they want their queen to marry an emperor who has no real power, it is better to give up as soon as possible.

During this period of time, she has been busy with other affairs, and now that she is about to leave, she just remembered to test this female officer.

Looking at it now, although there are still many shortcomings in Daliang's implementation of the New Deal, it took some thought to select such a female official, and hard work can be counted as a piece of work.

Naturally, Wen Su didn't know this thought, her palms were still sweating!After a long time, when she learned about this idea from Dongde Zhuoyi, her only thought was: Big mistake!
Several people were sitting with their own thoughts, when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Master Wen, are you in?"

Wen Su was taken aback, isn't this Qi Jian's voice?

Qi Jian will leave Beijing tomorrow to take up his post, so tonight Zhou Xianda and Liu Ke were invited out for a final reunion.The place was chosen by Zhou Xianda, and it is directly opposite the Chunan Pavilion - Geyun Tower.

The so-called Geyunlou means that a beauty is like a flower separated from the clouds. To put it bluntly, it is a brothel!

It was pretty good at first, only Liu Ke wasn't used to it.Sitting upright all the time, I don't know how many beauties who threw themselves into his arms, and he even hid all the way to the top of the building, but when he lowered his head, he saw Wen Su brought a handsome man into the Chu Nan Pavilion.

hit!
Among the top three, Qi Jian and Liu Ke had a similar background and a closer relationship, so when he saw Liu Ke was full of worries and drinking away his sorrows, the anger in his heart burst into flames.

That day is the regent, we can't fight, don't show it.But what's going on now?It's great for a woman to be an official, isn't it?You can have fun regardless of weather, right?

It was partly because of his youthful nature that Qi Jian immediately slapped the table and ran towards the opposite side, which made the old bustard in the Chu Nan Hall elated.

This little guy is not bad, he will definitely sell for a good price!
Unexpectedly, this kid looked at Wen Ruo, but he turned out to be an irresistible master, he rushed up to the second floor, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Master Wen, are you in there?"

The words are polite, but the anger can't be suppressed no matter what.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, several doors opened in a row, and people of various colors poked their heads out of them, some were luxuriously dressed clients, some were young men with half-exposed shoulders, but their eyes were all admiring.

What a handsome little husband...

Just when Qi Jian couldn't bear it any longer and was about to lose her temper, she suddenly heard someone from the side ask suspiciously: "Wu Yuan, are you looking for me?"

He turned his head and looked, Wen Su was coming out of a private room on the side, the light blue court dress on his body was dazzling.

Come to courteous prostitutes and still wear court clothes, you, you, you...

Qi Jian clutched her chest and panted heavily.

"What's wrong?" Wen Su walked up to him, a little confused.Qi Jian didn't talk nonsense, she grabbed her sleeve and dragged it down.

"Eh? What is this for? I still have something to do!" Wen Su hurriedly turned her head while calling out, and saw Xiao Duan leaning against the door and nodding towards her, meaning that he could deal with the aftermath.Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and let Qi Jian drag her downstairs.

The moment he entered the Geyun Tower, Wen Su suddenly felt that his life was complete.

Life tonight is really colorful...

Qi Jian was still angry, and regardless of the surprised eyes of everyone around, she dragged Wen Su up the stairs, pushed away one of the private rooms and pushed her into it.

Wen Su managed to stand still, and looked at the indoor scene with confusion, only to see Zhou Xianda sitting at the round table, holding a beautiful woman in his arms and smiling at her.The rest of the beauties were either standing or sitting, all staring at her, the uninvited guest, with their eyes wide open in astonishment.

There was another person beside him, in a plain blue gown, lying on the table with blushing cheeks, obviously drunk.

"This is..." Wen Su was stunned for a moment, and approached in disbelief, "This is Chaoqing? Why are you so drunk?"

Qi Jian snorted coldly behind her, "Isn't it because I fell in love with an undisciplined white-eyed wolf!"

"Wuyuan!" Zhou Xianda stopped him in a timely manner, and smiled at Wen Su, "Master Wen, since you are here, please sit down."

Wen Su still had business to do, so of course she couldn't agree, she shook her head and said: "I only thought that Wu Yuan had something to do with me, so I rushed over here, if there is nothing to do, I will go back, there are still people waiting for me."

"What!" Qi Jian almost vomited blood, because of a few young men, she was so heartless!

The most poisonous woman's heart!
"You are not allowed to leave!" He stepped forward angrily, pushed her to the seat beside Liu Ke, "Today, you should speak clearly to Chaoqing!"

Wen Su was baffled, just as she was about to ask what was going on, a hand suddenly put on her arm, and when she turned her head, she saw Liu Ke blinking her drunken eyes and looking at her blankly, as if she couldn't believe it .

"Su Su?"

Wen Su nodded, "It's me."

"It's really you?" Liu Ke continued to blink like an ignorant child.

"Yeah." Wen Su was impatient, but a little anxious in her heart, and was about to leave when Liu Ke suddenly grabbed her hand and stared at her with bright eyes!

"Susu, you...you were unintentional that day, weren't you?"

"Huh?" Wen Su thought he was a bit weird.

"It's you and the regent..." Liu Ke frowned, his voice lowered and his expression was aggrieved.

Seeing this, Zhou Xianda sighed, waved to Qi Jian and the beauties, and walked out calmly.Wen Su was still surprised by Liu Ke's strange behavior, but didn't pay much attention to it.

"You said that..." She recalled it and smiled awkwardly, "Of course it wasn't intentional, it was an accident."

Liu Ke's brows suddenly widened, as if the dark cloudy sky was suddenly pierced by the bright sun, shining brightly in his eyes, "Then you have no intentions for the Regent?"

Wen Su laughed, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I, I want to say... What do you think of me?"

"what?"

Liu Ke was so drunk that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. At this time, he felt like falling into a dream, and he simply said everything in his heart: "To tell the truth, I have always missed you since I met you. Then Do you still remember what the master said? It must be about you and me! We, you and me..." Although the wine is strong and courageous, but the nature is hard to change, Liu Ke has never been able to say the word "marry" to her. With a stammering face.

Wen Su opened his mouth and was stunned.

Although she is clever, she still knows very little about men and women.The rough-edged father had never taught her, and she knew nothing more than the plots of wits and beauties in the story books.

But aren't other scholars all reserved and euphemistic?He is also a scholar, why is he so direct?

Wen Su thought to herself, maybe it was caused by drunkenness, and there were too many things to do.

Having said that, she was still a little shaken in her heart. She got up quickly, not caring that there were no people around, and was about to go out in a hurry, as if someone was chasing her with a stick behind her.

Liu Ke hurriedly called her, trying to catch up, but tripped over a stool and fell. Wen Su turned her head and saw that the fall was not heavy, so she went out cruelly.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a snow-white figure standing with his back. Hearing the noise, he turned around slowly, with an unclear smile on his face, "I told you that there is something important to call you here in a hurry. Big deal."

"Prince Pingyang, please don't get me wrong." Wen Su hurried out, looked left and right, Zhou Xianda and Qi Jian stood on the side with different expressions, the originally busy corridor was empty at this time, apparently he drove him away .

Xiao Duan glanced at her, then swept around the room, and said calmly: "This king didn't hear anything, let's let this matter go, don't let it go outside."

Qi Jian was a little dissatisfied when she heard the words, and seeing Zhou Xianda's wink, she had no choice but to honestly bow and say yes.

Xiao Duan didn't say much, and went downstairs with a flick of his sleeves.

Wen Su was frightened many times that night, his brain was almost rigid, and all he wanted in his mind was to escape from this place quickly, so he hurriedly greeted Zhou and Qi and went downstairs with King Pingyang.

The three envoys of Qinghai Kingdom had already returned to the post house after being comforted by Xiao Duan's kind words. Wen Su didn't respond to the words, and boarded the carriage with a dazed expression, still thinking about what Liu Ke said just now.

In fact, she has been paying attention to Liu Ke since Fu Qingyu reminded him that time, but today's situation was something she never expected.

However, it is undeniable that Liu Ke's words are very tempting.To her, he is young and promising, gentle and handsome, with a gentle temper, and there is not much difference in their identities, so he is really a good candidate.But after all, they still don't know each other well, and what he said when he was drunk, it's really hard to say whether it's true or not.

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Duan's voice suddenly sounded, Wen Su came back to his senses in shock, and shook his head quickly, "It's nothing."

"Are you thinking about what that nerd said?" Xiao Duan smiled contemptuously, "You have to remember, you and my uncle are already close by skin, how can you have thoughts about other men?"

Wen Su was stunned, thinking that he was testing himself, and hurriedly said: "Prince Pingyang, I know my status is low, so I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts about the regent."

Xiao Duan was displeased: "Why, why is my uncle not good enough for you?"

"This..." Wen Su really couldn't figure it out, why did he suddenly seem to want to match her with the Prince Regent?Everyone can see that he has a lot of admiration for his uncle, so it's impossible to choose someone like her to match his uncle, right?The last time he set his sights on the most beautiful Taifu daughter in Beijing!
Seemingly seeing Wen Su's doubts, Xiao Duan smiled slightly and comforted her: "This king's words come from the heart, you don't have to doubt it."

Wen Su fell silent.

In fact, King Pingyang has always been a little uncertain in her heart, and the regent is even more powerful and unpredictable.She originally entered the Prince Regent's Mansion to earn a living, but now that she entered the officialdom, many things have gradually exceeded her expectations.

If she could, she would really like to live with a simple person like Liu Ke, reading scripts and basking in the sun, raising flowers and grass, eating and waiting to die.

But now King Pingyang has the intention of pushing her to the regent's side.

But she is very clear that in any case, everything will have to wait until the end of the New Deal...

When they arrived at the palace, Wen Su went straight to Xiao Zheng's study as soon as he got off the carriage, she knew that he was still awake at this time.

Sure enough, before he got close, he saw the bright candlelight coming out of the window, reflecting the tall figure of Zhao Quan by the door, showing a trace of solemnity.

Wen Su raised his spirits and walked over.Seeing that it was her, Zhao Quan immediately turned around and reported to the door.After a while, Xiao Zheng's voice came out: "Come in."

Wen Su pushed the door open, looked up at him, approached with palms together, and bowed.

"Wen Qing came so late, what's the matter?" Xiao Zheng put down his writing brush and looked up at her.

"My lord..." Wen Su lowered his head, and said after a while: "I want to ask, what will my lord do with me after the marriage is successful in the future?"

"Huh? Why did Qing Wen suddenly ask this?"

"I just want to know what will happen to me in the future."

Xiao Zheng shook his head with a smile, and continued with the government affairs in hand with lowered eyes, "You are serious, with my king here, you can rest assured."

Wen Su's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth: "Actually, I'm an official... I want to plan for my future."

Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his head to see that half of his face was immersed in the candlelight, his face was as gentle as jade but concealed his majesty. After a moment's pause, he said in a gentle tone: "Although Wen Qing plans it, he will always do it in the future." It will be a dream come true.”

These words were like a promise, Wen Su felt relieved, quickly saluted and thanked her, and left contentedly.

Hearing the footsteps outside the house fading away, Xiao Zheng got up and walked to the door, opened the door and told Zhao Quan: "Go and find out where she went tonight, who she met, and report as soon as possible."
