Fu Canglu

Chapter 344
The 17th year of Spring and Autumn has just passed.

The firecrackers in Lanling City roared, removing the old and ushering in the new, and everyone was overjoyed.

Yi Xiao took Yi Xiaoan to visit acquaintances in Lanling City one by one.

Many celebrities came to the engagement ceremony of His Highness the Second Highness. The eldest lady of the Tang family moved to the Weilue Hall of His Highness the Second Highness. candies.

The Tang Sect is attached to the city of Lanling, and the young lady of the Tang family finally has a good home.

The final wedding date of the two has not yet been determined, because the Second Highness and Tang Xiaoman are not in a hurry, and this is indeed the reason. Now that the two have finally met, it is time for them to cuddle together, and the engagement ceremony will also be held Now, there is no need to rush about the wedding, it can be postponed for a while.

The number of invitations sent to Yi Xiaojing Tao Palace is too numerous to count.

Large and small receptions were held in Lanling City, and those who could send invitations to Jingtao Hall were celebrities and celebrities. Except for a few receptions and banquets that could not be rejected, the others were pushed away by His Royal Highness.

Mr. Qi Shu invited a group of literati in the Laoshe Teahouse, and invited Yi Xiao and Xiao Buyi to suppress him. He couldn’t evade or refuse. This literati who rose to fame in a short period of time was only the tenth in literary reviews back then. Lanling City is gaining power like riding on the wind and blue clouds, and there is a faint tendency to sit on the top of the youngest officialdom in the north and the south.

There is no wine in Mr. Qi Shu's reception, but tea is used instead of wine. He pays attention to a word of elegance, discussing books and Taoism, self-cultivation and rest, family governance and world peace.

The ethos of Qi Liang is different from that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In fact, whether to go or not to go to these large and small gatherings is a headache.

Some invitations were thrown into the corner after a glance, some returned the invitations mercifully and declined politely, and very few played the role that the invitations should have, and invited the little highness himself.

Outsiders only said that His Royal Highness was busy practicing, but Yi Xiao didn't care if he was idle. The way of civil and martial arts was relaxed, and after entering the ninth rank, it would take a period of time to adjust, and more need to meditate, rather than to practice hard.

As for the different fates of these invitations

It all depends on the mood of the great Bodhisattva next to you.

A castle in the air.

"General."

"Again?"

"Pick the car."

"Ah my car!"

His Highness cried out in grief and indignation: "Monk, you can't let me play chess. It's so boring to play chess with you. Only when I eat up all my chess pieces in each game will I be willing to kill me!"

The young supervisor on the other side of the chessboard looked serious: "Hey, hey, you have no regrets, what is this outstretched hand?"

His majesty, who was pretending to be dazed, coughed, moved back the black horse that Qingshi was galloping towards, and said with a calm expression: "Scholars are called regret chess, and those who lead soldiers to fight, how distressed it is to lose a rook. Can it be called regret chess?"

Qingshi was silent for a moment and said: "You, if you regret the game, you can regret the game again. This is called a cart, not a cart."

His Majesty is usually as busy as usual, but with Qi Shu's assistance, even if the Master is not around, he can still save a lot of energy. These days are almost the most leisurely time of the year.

Su Yu accompanied His Majesty for a while, and told Yi Xiao that His Majesty didn't have many hobbies. When the three His Majesties were not in Lanling City, they just read a book silently, sitting in front of the sapphire case, closing their eyes and meditating, more like sleeping. caught.

Just like an old man who is old and dying, it takes half a day to sit like this.

So His Majesty, His Majesty, His Majesty, and His Majesty, His Majesty, took turns to accompany His Majesty.

His Highness came down early today, and he brought Monk Qingshi along the way. Unfortunately, His Majesty was still revising the memorial, and asked Mr. Qi Shu to discuss state affairs in the study, so His Highness and Qingshi were asked to sit at the chess table first Amusement.

The chess game on the chess table at this moment is quite different from the black and white nineteen-striped go.

There are engraved characters on each chess piece.

The chariots, horses, artillery, soldiers, and generals face each other across the Chu River and the Han border.

Your Majesty said that this is called "chess". Now "chess" has become popular in Lanling City. The number of Go games and chess games in the tea house is about four or six. Compared with the scenes that have been studied by scribes for thousands of years Go has been known for a long time, and chess is even more novel and mysterious. The way of killing is unpredictable.

In Lanling City, besides the Master of the State Teacher and Your Majesty, Mr. Qi Shu is regarded as a first-class top chess player. It is strange to say that Mr. Qi Shu's Go game can't be played on the table, but the depth of his chess skills is unimaginable. , Acting and making moves without exceeding the rules.

If you want to sum up Xiao Wuhui's chess attainments in short words, it would probably be

Nothing but regret chess.

Fortunately, the little monk Qingshi was very patient, facing such a stinky chess basket, he could endure the opponent's repeated regrets.

In fact, he was also silently reciting Buddhist scriptures to pass the time.

Both sides of the board are boring.

"Today, the study room will be more lively than usual." His Royal Highness scratched his head, didn't even regret the game, and simply threw the check to admit defeat, and said in a low voice: "I also called the commoners, they should be here later."

Qingshi silently helped His Majesty regret the chess, and began to amuse himself by himself, attacking and defending by himself, constantly switching roles.

Xiao Buyi and Tang Xiaoman came earlier, Qingshi played half a game of chess silently by himself, and the couple rushed to the vestibule of the study in the castle in the air.

Miss Tang's family had never seen such a novel chess piece before, so she couldn't help asking Qingshi for a while. After understanding the rules of the chess table, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she seemed eager to try it.

The eldest lady of the Tang family sat across the chess table and said that Qingshi had played chess before, and it was not fair to play against her, so she insisted on playing against her.

Xiao Buyi had no choice but to sit at the chess table.

The eldest lady of the Tang family started the game with a cannon, and the attack was fierce all the way. The second highness looked at the woman opposite with his chin in his hands, and was beaten with a smile, looking like a brown candy.

She waved her soldiers and ordered her to cross the river, and he quietly retreated across the border of Han.

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and he stepped back to give way.

Let go of the fight, let go of the fight, and the sons and sons protect each other, but the protection is extremely strict.

When her patience was exhausted, he purposely sold a loophole so that she could break the boat and win an open and aboveboard look like a rainbow.

The eldest lady of the Tang family raised her head with a smile, and just about to show off her power, she saw clearly the hateful smile on the opposite person's face, and dared to give way to her all the time.

The door of the study room has long been quietly opened a crack.

His Majesty was a little funny and funny, put one eye on the crack of the door, didn't watch chess, just quietly looked at the few people in his vestibule, smiled and didn't speak.

Mr. Qi Shu folded his sleeves and stood respectfully beside His Majesty.

He was a little at a loss, because it really didn't look like what His Majesty did.

The young men lying on the crack of the door peeked at the vestibule.

Qi Shu was a little perplexed.

He rarely saw His Majesty smile like this.

Such a cautious and gentle man is more like a child, not like His Majesty standing on the highest point of the Nineteenth Dao of Qiliang.

Qi Shu suddenly understood.

Yes.

The emperor's house, the person sitting on the throne, all claim to be widows.

The lonely widow.

But His Majesty never said that. Maybe at this time, he will feel that he is not alone, not a lonely family sitting on a lonely throne, and he also has his own home, not the big Qiliang Nineteen Daoists who talk about it in general, nor is he already Included in the empty half of the world.

So few people.

The house is not big, but it is enough.

His Majesty didn't know what to think in his heart, he didn't go over to disturb those young people's chess game.

This quietly opened door seems to have separated a boundary.

Afraid of disturbing their peace.

"I want to take a good look at them."

Xiao Wang said softly: "For so many years, the relationship between monarch and minister has overshadowed the relationship between father and son. Sitting in this position, you can't be hypocritical or approach them. I just look at them like this, so that I can remember their unfettered appearance in my heart. .”

"I'm a bad father."

He lightly raised a finger, put it in front of his lips, and made a gesture to Qi Shu.

Qi Shu quietly lowered his brows and retreated to the dark place in the study.

He said silently in his heart: "You are a qualified emperor."

A little further away, there is an invisible blind spot at the crack of the door of the study.

The little highness dragged Yi Xiaoan.

Yi Xiao with slightly golden eyes smiled and pointed to the quietly opened door, jokingly said: "Hey, is Xiao Wang still peeking?"

Yi Xiaoan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty is such a lovely person."

After saying this, Yi Xiaoan thought for a while, and added: "Maybe I don't want to disturb the Second Highness and the others?"

His Highness shook his head lightly.

He smiled and said: "Lovely man, this is probably the first time he has been evaluated by others like this. I wonder how he will feel after hearing your words?"

"During the period of the Eight Great Kingdoms, Qi Liang came out of the small kingdoms, slaughtered the three kingdoms in the south of the Yangtze River, and laid down half of the Central Plains. Xiao Wang's iron cavalry crushed many heads, and they were called the two biggest during the Eight Great Kingdoms together with that Cao family man. Butcher." Yi Xiao said calmly: "He is actually a very cruel person, cruel to the enemy and cruel to himself."

"None of the three of us had a mother."

The little Highness said in a cold tone: "No one knows how or when they died, they died anyway. And being born in Lanling City, sitting in the seat of His Highness is better than any other person in the world. Every family must be cruel."

Yi Xiaoan was silent.

Yi Xiao said softly: "I once thought, is there only three His Highnesses in Qi Liang?"

Paused.

"Will there be another Highness?"

"Now the answer is clear." Yi Xiao lowered his eyebrows and said, "There are only three people who are alive. There are only three people who have survived. Some guesses have no evidence, and no evidence is needed, because the greatest evidence is to survive. "

Yi Xiaoan stopped talking

"Actually, there are many dark sides in the world, but not all of them are dangerous."

His Highness suddenly smiled, and pointed to the eyes hidden in the crack of the door.

The tenderness and compassion in those eyes were hidden in the gloom.

Clumsy and funny.

He is indeed a lovely person.

"I think this is very warm, so I don't want to pursue the past. Some things have passed, let them pass."
