Uncle Nine

Chapter 67 Unreliable host
Liang Yiru nodded, "Girl is polite."

Dongfang Qing smiled, "You write Xiaozhuan really well, which is very enviable, can you teach me in the future?"

"Don't dare." Liang Yiru didn't look up.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Liang Yiru did not raise his head.As a result, no matter what Dongfang Qing said, he didn't have too many words.In other words, it's just: yes, dare not, be polite.

What a pedantic scholar, what an elegant and gentle man who does not contend with the world.

"In the palace, there is no such indifferent person as you. You are the first one I have seen." No one knows that Dongfang Qing is Dongfang Yue's favorite righteous daughter. There, you can get an official position.

But Liang Yiru in front of him seemed to turn a deaf ear to this, even when he heard her name, there was no emotion on his face.If it is said that he is pretending, then he pretends too well and talks too little, so he is completely impeccable.

Liang Yiru lowered his eyebrows halfway, "The so-called indifference is just not expecting hopelessness. Confucianism is also a worldly person, but what you want is different, so your heart is different. The way is different, and you don't seek each other. That's all!"

Dongfang Qing smiled, "You are very interesting."

"Don't dare." Liang Yiru bowed.

"Walking in the Wenhua Palace is an idle job. If you want to, you can leave here and seek promotion. I believe that with your talent, your achievements will never stop there." Dongfang Qing smiled.The implication of these words is very obvious, Liang Yiru is not a fool, he should be able to hear it.

But Dongfang Qing didn't know that although Liang Yiru was not a fool, he liked to play fool the most.

"Naturally, idle work has its benefits." Liang Yiru said, "How can I see so many books and read a lot of books in ordinary times, which is better than being successful and famous. Thank you for your kindness!"

After finishing speaking, Liang Yiru bowed, "I still have something to do, so go away and say goodbye."

Without waiting for Dongfang Qing to speak, Liang Yiru walked away with a flick of his sleeve.

For a woman, it is really not easy for a lump like Liang Yiru to open up.Follow the principles of Confucius and Confucianism, and do not do things that exceed the rules.But he didn't know that he had his own heart and belonging, and he didn't want to have any ambiguity or too much contact with any woman.

This is his bottom line and a code of conduct for him.

The scholar is elegant and has his own style.

Jump into the mud without changing your arrogance.

Dongfang Qing looked down at Liang Yiru's writing on the case, and suddenly smiled.She is different from Dongfang Xu, she was raised in the palace since she was a child, living beside the princess, she is used to intrigues, but she seldom really intrigues.

Because with the princess, there are only thousands of pets.

She had imagined that one day, she would meet a person who was full of poetry and books, elegant and gentle.That person would stand in the sun and smile at her, singing softly: the reeds are green, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yiren is on the side of the water—he will smile beautifully, as if all the warmth in the world comes from him alone .

But she has seen too many men who look gentle on the outside, but are actually ambitious men.Each of them has plans and plans, and they are no different from foster fathers and brothers.

She thinks of herself and lives like a normal person.

Of course, all this is impossible.

Because she is Dongfang Qing.

From the moment she entered the Regent's House, she was no longer the master of her own destiny.

Her life belongs to her adoptive father and the Prince Regent's Palace.

With dim eyes, Dongfang Qing walked out of Wenhua Hall slowly.

Outside, the sky is clear.

When the banquet was over, Zhao Shuo did not return to Prince Rui's Mansion, but went to the Jinlan Courtyard outside the city.It is said that the other courtyard was a private courtyard granted to Zhao Shuo by the first emperor when he was still alive, and there was an oracle accompanying him.

Without Zhao Shuo's order, no one is allowed to step into the other courtyard. The so-called anyone includes: the emperor, the queen mother, and the ministers of the court.

The elegant courtyard is now in autumn, and the branches and leaves on the vines have already fallen, but the chrysanthemums in the backyard are blooming very well.Lush bamboos and lush trees make the whole courtyard look gloomy.

Especially at night, it was extraordinarily cold and deadly.

The swing in the yard was swayed by the wind, and Zhao Shuo stood under the century-old red maple.When the candlelight hits the maple leaves, it looks as if the blood is stained red, which is gorgeous and dazzling.

"Master, it's cool." Li Huan put on a cloak for Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo looked up at Hongfeng, "This tree was moved out of the palace back then. It was planted in Prince Rui's mansion and almost died. Instead, it was planted here. No one took care of it, but it survived. It also likes freedom."

Li Huan lowered his eyes, "My lord, since the marriage has been decided, this is the result anyway. I wanted to avoid it many years ago, but I still can't avoid it after many years. She was just a woman, so it's okay to be ordinary, but it's a pity that the Ye family has long been secretly attached to her." The Prince Regent’s Mansion. Marrying the Second Miss of the Ye family is tantamount to letting the eyes and ears of the Prince Regent’s Mansion into the house, and I’m afraid there will be no peace in the future.”

"I'm not worried about my eyes and ears. I'm just a woman, so why not be afraid of it. It's just that—" Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, "I don't like being made difficult by others, and naturally I don't want to be made difficult by others."

Li Huan nodded, "I understand the humble job."

"I'm not worried about Ye Eryu. On the contrary, it's the marriage with Da Xia mentioned by the Regent today. I'm afraid it's not that simple." Zhao Shuo sat on the big rock under the maple tree, and the people below quickly moved the piano stand.

With a slight flick of the fingertips, the sound of the guqin resounded faintly.

Play a song of mountains and rivers, and play a song of mountains and rivers.

Li Huan frowned, the prince hadn't played the piano for a long time, he only played the piano when he had something on his mind.What's the matter today?
"Your Highness is worried that the Prince Regent is colluding with Da Xia in an attempt to seize the country?" Li Huan asked lowly.

Zhao Shuo's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were cold, "Collusion is a matter of time, but this matter of seizing the country is not a day or two, so there is nothing to make a fuss about."

"At the time when the first emperor passed away, he invaded the territory together with Utopia in Daxia. The prince was too young to deal with the regent, so he had to rely on the regent to stabilize the border, so that the regent controlled the power of the court." Li Huan sighed softly, "Fortunately, the lord has taken back half of the country in these years. The border has also been stabilized by General Xie Huan. It's just that the regent is aggressive now, and the situation is the same as before. Everything is not easy."

The sound of the piano was intermittent, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and Li Huan's words seemed to be ignored.

The fingertips ran rapidly on the strings, and finally, after a sound, the fingertips pressed down on the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

"How long is it before Xie Huan returns to Beijing?" Zhao Shuo asked.

Li Huan thought for a while, "Probably about two months."

Zhao Shuo nodded, "In a few days, the king will personally offer to let Xie Huan return to Beijing earlier." He hesitated, "How old is Xie Huan now?"

Hearing this, Li Huan hesitated a little, "About twenty-five or six."

"Since you're back, you don't need to go back. Hand over the border control to Xie Yun, and let Xie Huan stay in Beijing." Zhao Shuo suddenly felt this way, and even Li Huan felt a little incredible.

"But General Xie is very prestigious at the border. With her here, Daxia dare not violate the border. Xie Yun is too young, I'm afraid he can't take on such a heavy responsibility." Li Huan frowned.

Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, his eyes were dark and hard to distinguish, "Youth is not an excuse, heroic ambitions are all cultivated."

Li Huan nodded and said nothing.

My lord, naturally I have my lord's considerations.These years, isn't it like this, bit by bit, bit by bit to take back the power of the government from the Regent's Palace?It took Zhao Shuo more than ten years for half of the country to be considered to be in the hands of the Zhao family again.He didn't want to spend another ten years for the remaining half of the country.

This life is no longer than a lifetime, and is no more than a moment. He still wants to live a good life for himself.

Zhao Shuo didn't return home, Xia Yu asked only to find out that Zhao Shuo went to Jinlan Bieyuan and didn't return tonight.

Isn't that just right?Xia Yu was secretly happy.

Holding the little thing in her arms, Xia Yu said to herself, "Here, it's settled, take the expensive ones, and take the most valuable ones. And then--it's best to find the richest family in the capital. , Don’t take expensive things cheaply.”

This is for some people to hear.

"Also, don't get hurt, don't mess with my body." Xia Yu thought for a while, "Come back when you get the things, Shuying is waiting for money to save her life!"

She seemed to think of something, "Of course, the richest place doesn't include the palace. I don't want to be fooled by Zhao Laojiu's crow's mouth, and go to the prison to embarrass myself."

Carefully opening the box, Xia Yu glanced at the black "Black Widow" spider inside the box.

The spot on the spider's body was bright red, as bright as blood, and it was particularly dazzling in the candlelight.

Rubbing her hands hesitantly, Xia Yu frowned slightly. Every time she woke up, she couldn't remember what happened, so——she had to make up her mind to do such a thing.

Because the result of the matter is likely to be: she will die inexplicably.

As for how to die, it depends on her luck.

Fighting to death, falling to death, or—anyway, if she is killed, she can only consider herself unlucky, and there is no explanation when she goes to the Palace of the King of Hades, and she still doesn't know how she died.

Too bad!
Only Huzi and Liang Yiru knew about this matter, so she dared not say anything to others.As for when she started to have this problem, Xia Yu herself couldn't remember.About when I was very young——

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu stretched out her finger, "It's agreed, except for the imperial palace, you can choose whatever you want in the capital, the richest family, and the most expensive things. I want it, 10 taels."

The sound fell, and the spider bit down.

The toxin quickly mixed into the blood, reaching the depths of the heart.

Xia Yu felt dizzy, her body became numb, and she gradually lost consciousness.When she falls asleep, another she will wake up and do all the things for her that she dare not or absolutely cannot do.

It's a pity: an unreliable body has an unreliable host.

She said that she was not allowed to enter the palace, but she forgot that there is still a dangerous place in the capital.Apart from Prince Rui's Mansion, there is another most magnificent place.

Regent House!
