Chapter 325
At night, Chang'an City, Kaihuafang, Duke Song's Mansion.

In the depths of winter, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting darker. Song Guogong Xiao Yu and his sister Xiao Mei Niang also had dinner early, were making tea, lit candles and chatted by the window.

"Sister, I have seen countless people in my life, and I boast that I have a bit of ability to know people, but I didn't expect to miss it completely this time." The teapot water on the charcoal stove had already boiled "gurgling". , Xiao Yu personally stepped forward to lift the teapot, poured a cup for Xiao Meiniang sitting in front of her, and sighed softly.

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Meiniang showed curiosity on her face, and asked Xiao Yu: "Oh? Who is it that can make you look away?"

Xiao Yu said: "Actually, it's not only me who lost his eyes, but also sister."

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, the strange look on Xiao Meiniang's face became more serious, Xiao Meiniang asked: "Then tell me quickly, who is it?"

Xiao Yu picked up the tea bowl at hand, took a sip of the hot tea, and said to Xiao Mei Niang: "Sister, do you still remember the boy who brought you back from Turkic?"

"You mean the King of Chu?" Xiao Meiniang asked.

Xiao Yu nodded and replied, "That's right, it's His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Xiao Meiniang heard the words, and asked with a smile: "Why did you say that, but what did King Chu do to shock the world?"

Li Ke has always acted boldly, and he is the most different from others. Xiao Yu is surprised by what Li Ke does, but Xiao Meiniang does not find it strange.

Xiao Yu said: "The kings of Chu are few and different. I always thought that the king of Chu was young and ambitious, but I only found out after the court today that I was wrong about him. The king of Chu is also a loyal and honest person."

At today's court meeting, anyone with a discerning eye could see what Li Shimin meant to Li Ke's Shizhen Yangzhou, but as the party involved, Li Ke agreed without hesitation. Senior?

A loyal and honest person?

Whenever Xiao Meiniang heard Li Ke's name, that cunning but kind face would appear in her mind.

Li Ke is a little fox, and even a young tiger. This is what Xiao Meiniang has already recognized when she was in Turkic. It really doesn't hook up with the so-called honesty and honesty. Xiao Yu is not a confused person. So to speak.

Xiao Meiniang laughed, and asked puzzledly, "Why did Shiwen (Xiao Yu's characters) say that?"

Xiao Yu replied: "At the court meeting today, Your Majesty issued a decree to order the King of Chu to feudalize Yangzhou and Huainan. I didn't expect that the King of Chu would respond immediately, which really surprised me."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Although Xiao Meiniang was the queen of the former dynasty, after returning to the south, she has been paying little attention to the affairs of the court. Therefore, Xiao Meiniang had never known about Li Ke's going out of the town before. There was a hint of surprise.

"It's absolutely true." Xiao Yu replied.

Xiao Meiniang asked, "How does King Chu look?"

Xiao Yu replied: "When the King of Chu came out of the palace, his expression was as usual, and he talked and laughed happily with the prince, as if nothing happened."

When Xiao Meiniang heard this, she thought for a moment in her heart, and then a smile appeared on her face, and then she understood.

Xiao Meiniang said to Xiao Yu: "It's really not easy for the King of Chu to have such concentration at such a young age, and that's why I respect him so much."

Xiao Yu asked puzzledly: "What does sister mean?"

Xiao Meiniang replied: "In my opinion, the King of Chu may have known about today's situation in the palace, and he has made preparations. What you see is just a virtual image deliberately made by the King of Chu."

Xiao Yu continued to ask: "Sister, do you mean that today's court affairs have been expected by King Chu?"

Xiao Meiniang nodded and said, "That's right, that's right."

Compared with Xiao Yu, Xiao Meiniang knew a lot more about Li Ke. At the beginning, Li Ke was in Turkic, like a pack of wolves waiting for a tiger. He managed to turn the entire Turks upside down almost by himself, making the first contribution to the Northern Expedition. Could such a thing be done by an upright person?

Xiao Yu still couldn't believe it, and there was still suspicion on his face. It was hard for him to imagine that a 15-year-old boy could have such a profound city.
Xiao Yu's reaction also fell into Xiao Meiniang's eyes, her younger brother Mo Ruo, Xiao Meiniang saw Xiao Yu's appearance and guessed Xiao Yu's thoughts.

Xiao Meiniang said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, you dare to bet with me. Within two days, something will happen in Chu Palace."

Xiao Yu watched all the movements in the main hall today, and felt that she had seen more than Xiao Meiniang, and felt that she had a chance to win. Hearing Xiao Meiniang's words, she immediately became interested.

Xiao Yu said: "I bet with my sister, but I don't know what my sister is going to bet on?"

Xiao Meiniang thought for a while, and said to Xiao Yu: "I heard the rules and regulations, recently you got a new ancient inkstone, you regard it as a treasure, we will bet on it, if I win, you will lose this ancient inkstone to me. "

The Shougui that Xiao Meiniang spoke of was Xiao Yu's eldest son, Xiao Rui, and the son of Princess Xiangcheng.

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "What is my way, there is only one ancient inkstone on the left and right, if my sister likes it, just take it, what's the gamble."

Xiao Meiniang shook her head and said with a smile: "Although I am very good at ink, inkstone and the like, it is most interesting to win the things I like by myself, but don't worry, I will not take advantage of you. The King of Chu specially ordered someone to give me a few ingots of Wei Dan ink he bought from Yangzhou, and if you win, I will give these Wei Dan ink to you as a gift."

Wei Dan's ink was made by Wei Dan, a great calligrapher of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. Shi Yu, together with Zhang Zhi's brush and Zuo Bo's paper, were called "three masterpieces". They were most admired by the great scholar Cai Yong. Under the ancient inkstone.

Gambling with ancient inkstones on ancient inkstones is commensurate.

Xiao Yu is also a person who likes this way, upon hearing this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Xiao Mei Niang: "This brother will be disrespectful."

As Xiao Yu said, he picked up the tea bowl in his hand again and drank it with his neck raised, as if he already had the winning chance.

Seeing Xiao Yu's appearance, Xiao Meiniang also laughed softly. The gambling between siblings is just for fun, and the outcome is nothing more than second. No matter who wins or loses, no one cares about the result. What they care about is That's all Li Ke's movements.

It's just that Xiao Meiniang was the former empress of the Sui Dynasty, and she has experienced ups and downs several times. She knows people and things more than Xiao Yu.

It seems that just to prove this, without having to wait two more days, even Xiao Yu hadn't finished drinking a pot of tea, the servant outside the door suddenly came in, holding a letter of greeting to Xiao Yu. Yu said: "Ah Lang Rong, there is a young man coming in a carriage outside the mansion. He claims to be Mrs. Xiao's old acquaintance, and he ordered the slave to send the invitation card."

Seeing this, Xiao Meiniang personally stepped forward to take the greeting card from her slave, and slowly opened it, and a line of more than ten characters fell into the eyes of Xiao Meiniang and Xiao Yu.

"Your Madam, my old friend from the Northland, the boy Li Sanlang pays homage to me."
