Don't be defensive girl, I'm blind

Chapter 148 The figure under the long skirt, the first encounter with the long princess (please subscribe 6k words)
On the other side of the screen, with Xiaodie's help, Xiao Qingyue slowly took off her wet clothes.

With the reflection of the candlelight, Xiao Qingyue's figure could be clearly seen.

Although Xiao Qingyue was born in a famous family, she has been known as a talented woman in the capital since she was a child.

But as everyone knows, what is even more amazing is that she has a beautiful and handsome face.

Not to mention the figure hidden under the long skirt.

Through that screen, it is enough to make those men go crazy.

Xue Mu is a normal male.

Naturally, it is no exception.

It has to be said that Xiao Qingyue's figure can even rival Xu Ruyan's.

Of course, compared to Leng Mei, she is the YYDS.

Xiao Qingyue took the pink apron from Xiaodie, tied it up, and put on the lining.

Perhaps he was worried that Xue Mu outside would be in a hurry, so he asked, "Mr. Xue, are you still there?"

Only then did Xue Mu come back to his senses. He coughed lightly, and said in a serious manner, "Miss Xiao, I'm still here."

Xiao Qingyue then explained: "Master Xue, you may have to wait a little longer, please forgive me."

"It's okay, you change slowly, it doesn't matter." Xuan Xuan wiped his eyes and continued to watch.

To some extent, he certainly hoped that Xiao Qingyue could change slowly.

This sense of sight always feels like watching a naked-eye 3D.avi of an island country.

Not long after, Xiao Qingyue came out from behind the screen.

She was still a little wet just now, but after changing clothes, she became delicate and dignified again.

Xue Mu quickly shifted his gaze to other places.

Seeing Xue Mu sitting there motionless, looking like a gentleman, Xiao Qingyue was also happy in her heart.

At certain moments, she also envied Xu Ruyan for finding such an outstanding man.

She didn't know if she would have such luck in the future.

Just as she was thinking, Xiaodie took the opportunity to say: "Miss, I'll bring you and Mr. Xue a brazier, so you can warm up."

"Okay, let's go."

Soon, only Xue Mu and Xiao Qingyue were left in the room.

At this moment, Xue Mu could already see Xiao Qingyue's face clearly.

It has to be said that Daru's daughter is really pretty.

Behavior is appropriate.

The point is, with that long hair, it looks like a pair of ponytails.

For a moment, Xue Mu thought of riding a horse.

Seeing that there was still some rainwater on his neck, Xiao Qingyue took the initiative to say: "Master Xue, there are still some drops of water on your neck, how about I wipe it for you?"

Xue Mu had no choice but to answer: "Then there will be Miss Lao Xiao."

Xiao Qingyue quickly wiped Xue Mu's face with the scented handkerchief in her hand.

During this process, Xue Mu smelled the fragrance of the handkerchief.

It's that faint floral scent.

While wiping, Xiao Qingyue's fingers touched his skin slightly.

Although it was just scratching the surface, it stirred up a layer of ripples in her heart.

Xiao Qingyue wiped this action three times.

In the end, it was because of Xiaodie's arrival that she took her hand back.

Xiaodie put the brazier between the two of them, and then said happily: "In this way, you two don't have to be afraid of catching a cold."

"Miss Xiaodie is really careful." Xue Mu praised.

Xiaodie felt embarrassed and shy when Xue Mu praised her like this: "Young Master Xue, you are the second person to praise me besides our young lady."

"That's because you only have your young lady in your eyes, and I happen to be honored by your young lady, so I have this brazier." Xue Mu explained with a smile.

Xiao Qingyue said quickly: "No, no, if you can invite Mr. Xue to come over and give Qingyue a lecture, it is clear that I have become the master of Mr. Xue."

"I was the one who got Miss Xiao's favor."

Seeing that they are touching me and I touching you, Xiaodie couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, you don't want to touch each other again, miss, Mr. Xue, hurry up and go to class."

After Xue Mu and Xiao Qingyue heard Xiaodie's complaint, they also looked at each other and smiled.

With Xiaodie's departure, Xue Mu and Xiao Qingyue also officially started class.

It is said to be a class, but it is actually a storytelling.

Xiao Qingyue hurriedly asked Xue Mu: "By the way, Mr. Xue, you haven't finished the story about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai last time, can you continue?"

"Okay, of course."

Xue Mu said at this time: "Guest officers, let's continue the book~~"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingyue couldn't help laughing.

It has to be said that Xue Mu is not only good-looking, but also has a literary background.

Even the words are so humorous.

Xiao Qingyue rested her hand on her chin again, and listened to Xue Mu's story with straight eyes.

At this time, Xue Mu also noticed Xiao Qingyue's eyes.

He didn't dare to face it squarely, after all he was afraid of revealing his secrets.

So just look elsewhere.

What's more, lonely men and widows live in the same room.

The two of them were so close, Xue Mu was a vigorous man.

It is difficult to ensure that I can suppress my anger.

"Soon it will be the Qiqiao Festival. When Liang Shanbo returns home, he and his mother buy things to propose marriage to the family members."

When Xiao Qingyue heard that Liang Shanbo was going to Zhu Yingtai's house to propose marriage, she suddenly became happy.

However, in the next second, Xue Mu said: "But Zhu Yuanwai said with regret that Liang Shanbo and the others didn't come sooner. The Ma's son just came to propose marriage this morning, and he has already betrothed Zhu Yingtai to Ma's son. Yingtai was sad in her boudoir, when she heard the servant girl say that Liang Shanbo is coming, she rushed out of the hall."

"Liang Shanbo was stunned when he saw Zhu Yingtai in his daughter's body. Thinking of Zhu Yingtai's words before parting, Liang Shanbo regretted it. He was too stupid to understand that Yingtai was a beautiful woman disguised as a man." .”

"Liang Shanbo returned home in a daze. From then on he fell ill and died soon after."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyue was very surprised, he never expected Liang Shanbo to pass away like this.

Isn't this a happy story?
Thinking of this, her eye sockets gradually became moist.

Xue Mu naturally knew that Xiao Qingyue was an emotional woman, so he handed her the handkerchief just now.

But the mouth continued to tell the last story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

"Soon, it will be the day when Mr. Ma's family will marry Zhu Yingtai. Zhu Yingtai's only request is that the sedan chair should go to Liang Shanbo's grave to pay homage."

"Zhu Yingtai came to Liang Shanbo's grave and shouted heart-rendingly: 'Shanbo, if you are alive, open the tomb'. As a result, the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and it was raining heavily."

"The tomb opened a big gap, and Zhu Yingtai jumped down without hesitation."

"During this period, Zhu Yingtai's sister-in-law hurriedly grabbed it, and only caught a little of Zhu Yingtai's skirt. The tomb was immediately closed and the weather became clear."

"At this time, I saw a pair of butterflies flying out of the grave, and the female butterfly was missing a little wing, which seemed to imply that it was the skirt that was caught by the sister-in-law."

"Later, people said that this pair of butterflies were the incarnations of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and they flew freely and were inseparable from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Mu heard Xiao Qingyue sobbing.

I saw Xiao Qingyue whispering: "Why can't they get married after having lovers?"

Xue Mu replied: "Sometimes fairy tales are like this, only regrets are worthy of word of mouth."

"But isn't everyone happy is the best?" Xiao Qingyue asked rhetorically.

"For Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, maybe turning into a pair of butterflies is already a happy thing." Xue Mu explained.

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyue also nodded: "That's true. Although they can't continue to love each other in the world, they can still turn into butterflies and continue their love."

After finishing speaking, she also looked up at Xue Mu in front of her.

Xue Mu was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to say, and then asked: "Miss Xiao, what other stories do you want to hear, or should we learn other poems?"

"Mr. Xue, are there any other love stories similar to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai? But I hope they are happier." Xiao Qingyue asked.

Xue Mu thought for a while, and seemed to have thought of something.

Then he said: "Why don't I tell you the story of Tang Bohu ordering Qiuxiang."

at this time.

The front hall of Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Xun was coming back from outside.

Today in the court hall, His Royal Highness Prince Jing played three books in a row, impeaching the official position of the Ministry of Officials.

All the officials present knew that the Ministry of Officials was all from the Second Prince Zhao Chengqian.

The daily left-right struggle has begun again.

But Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin ignored it, and he even handed over the matter to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess Zhao Ruoli would naturally not take sides, let alone these are trivial matters.

Her current mind is to solve the land taxation problem of the Daqing Dynasty.

However, whenever she mentioned this to Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Hongyin changed the topic.

Obviously, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty just wanted to sit safely in this position.

Once it comes to the land tax reform, if it arouses the dissatisfaction of the land tyrants all over the country, maybe even more people will rebel.

Therefore, the eldest princess Zhao Ruoli tried every means to gain the support of more people.

Only most people in the court support their own reforms.

Then, when the time comes, Zhao Hongyin will have to agree even if he disagrees.

In such a rainy situation, Zhao Ruoli still left the palace in a carriage and came to Xiao's residence.

I plan to ask my husband Xiao Xun.

Not long after Xiao Xun sat down, he asked Lai Fu beside him: "Lai Fu, what are you doing, Miss?"

"Go back to the master, the lady is studying."

"Study?" Xiao Xun was a little surprised, and usually asked this girl to read books for a while, but she often said that she was familiar with those four books and five classics, and would prefer to read those so-called novels.

Why are you so active all of a sudden now?

Unexpectedly, Lai Fu added: "Because Mr. Xue is here, he is teaching in Miss's room."

When Xiao Xun heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "This girl, she is still not willing to listen to me when I explain the principles to her on weekdays, but she ended up spending money to give lectures to an outsider. It would be good for her to let me teach."

However, he appreciated Xue Mu's ability.

He was able to compose two poems in a short period of time.

And these two poems, in today's Daqing Dynasty, there are really few literati who can write them.

Xiao Xun still remembers that poem to this day.

"The bright moon leaves the branches to frighten the magpies, and the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night."

"In the fragrance of rice flowers, the harvest is said, and the sound of frogs is heard."

He sighed with emotion: "This kid really has two brushes."

Just as he was thinking, the servant at the gate of the mansion ran in anxiously, his whole body was wet.

"master."

Xiao Xun waved his hands, frowned and said, "Don't be in a hurry, if you have something to say slowly, what's the proper way to be in a hurry?"

The servant pointed to the door and said respectfully, "My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

"In the palace?"

Xiao Xun immediately stood up, thinking that His Majesty sent someone to make an order.

He hurriedly lifted his robe, supported by the butler Laifu's oil umbrella, and staggered out.

Just out the front hall door.

Wearing a long white dress, Zhao Ruoli, the eldest princess with extraordinary temperament, walked in surrounded by two or three maidservants.

She looked at Xiao Xun, and called: "Sir."

Xiao Xun looked at the eldest princess Zhao Ruoli, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, Xiao Xun has met the eldest princess."

"Sir, Ruoli said that only students salute sir, please get up quickly." Zhao Ruoli hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Xiao Xun laughed happily: "No matter what, the old man still has to salute when he sees His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. This is in accordance with the rules."

He immediately asked: "I don't know if there is something important for Her Royal Highness to come here in the rain?"

Zhao Ruoli nodded: "I came here today mainly to discuss the tax reform with my husband."

Xiao Xun knew in his heart that Zhao Ruoli would never give up if he did not solve the Qing Dynasty tax reform issue.

He is also very relieved.

Among so many royal nobles whom I have taught, only the eldest princess Zhao Ruoli is dedicated to serving the people.

Like the eldest prince Zhao Ji and the second prince Zhao Chengqian, they are all competing for the throne, secretly competing.

Where do you care about the lives of the people.

A few days ago, there was a famine in the three places in the north and east, which revealed that Huo Jiuchuan, the prefect of Youzhou, and others were corrupt and accepted bribes.

And Huo Jiuchuan is also the person of the eldest prince Zhao Ji.

How could this kind of intrigue under the protection of officials and officials make Daqing go further and further away?

Xiao Xun couldn't help looking at Zhao Ruoli, thinking that perhaps one day Daqing could have a female emperor who truly loved the people like a son, just like the neighboring country next door.

Of course, these thoughts, he will definitely not say it.

After all, the situation of the three parties is still unclear.

Xiao Xun naturally turned to Zhao Ruoli in his heart.

But he also has to take care of the Xiao Mansion and the great Confucian scholars behind it.

Once standing in the wrong team, it may lead to the disaster of killing people.

It doesn't matter if he dies.

It's just that he can't drag down his own daughter Xiao Qingyue who is still waiting in her boudoir.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xun replied: "His Royal Highness, old man, I think your tax reform plan can make people's lives better to some extent, but our income in Daqing is not enough."

"Sir, Ruoli has also thought about it, so how to persuade His Majesty is the art of speaking, so I came here to ask you, sir." Zhao Ruoli explained.

Xiao Xun also smiled helplessly: "Princess, you also know that I'm just a teacher. When it comes to speaking beautifully, I'm not even as good as those eunuchs in the palace. I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

"No, Mr. Xiao, His Majesty has always listened to your opinion. If you speak, he will definitely agree." Zhao Ruoli persuaded.

"This..." Xiao Xun was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid the old man was sent back by His Majesty before he even spoke."

"If you don't give it a try, how will you know?" Zhao Ruoli suggested again: "Ruoli will enter the palace with Mister, and then I will mention this suggestion in front of Brother Huang, as long as Mr. ,This is enough."

Xiao Xun looked at her, and then retreated all the servants around him.

There were only the two of them in the hall.

He and Zhao Ruoli said: "Ruoli, it can be said that I grew up watching you. From the beginning of literacy, I knew the ambition in your heart, and you are dedicated to the people of the country. But you have thought that once you put forward this The tax reform plan will involve the entire economic foundation of Daqing."

Zhao Ruoli nodded solemnly: "If this plan is not changed at this time, the taxation will become more and more serious. If this continues, sooner or later the government will force the people to rebel. You don't know, old man. As early as in the southwest, there have been three cases The peasants rebelled."

"Ah?" Xiao Xun was a little surprised: "Have some peasants started to rebel?"

"They don't have enough to eat, they don't have enough clothes, what can they do if they don't rebel?" Zhao Ruoli asked back.

Hearing this, Xiao Xun did not continue to speak, but fell silent.

In the end, he nodded and said: "In this case, I will accompany you for a walk, even if His Majesty gets angry, at worst, I will retire and return home, and just be a leisurely teacher."

Zhao Ruoli said calmly, "Don't worry, sir, I won't let Master Xu Jie's tragedy happen again."

When Xu Jie was mentioned, the eyes of both of them also dimmed.

Yes, at the beginning Xu Jie brought this tax reform plan to His Majesty.

As a result, not only was he demoted, but his salary was also suspended for half a year.

But Xu Jie did not give up because of this.

They are still collecting questions about some land mergers outside the capital.

However, it was just like this that he was framed by someone with a heart for embezzling tens of thousands of taels of silver.

After Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin learned of this incident, he was finally thrown into prison.

This incident also deeply hurt the hearts of Zhao Ruoli and Xiao Xun.

Together, they believe that His Majesty is no longer the conscientious and diligent emperor of the past.

Xiao Xun also gritted his teeth, and finally said: "His Royal Highness, the old man will enter the palace with you."

"Then leave it to Mr. Xiao." Zhao Ruoli saluted.

Before Xiao Xun left, he was worried about Xiao Qingyue.

So he said to Zhao Ruoli, "His Royal Highness, the old man will go to Qingyue first."

"It just so happens that I also want to ask Qingyue if she has any good scripts." Zhao Ruoli replied.

Xiao Xun was a little embarrassed because he knew that Xue Mu was in Xiao Qingyue's room.

If Zhao Ruoli saw it, it might not be a good image.

But there is no way, who called her the eldest princess?

Who can go against her will?

So Xiao Xun had no choice but to walk ahead.

The two came to the door, when Xiao Xun was about to open the door.

Zhao Ruoli was a little curious when she heard the voice inside.

[This voice is somewhat familiar. 】

I saw Xue Mu talking inside: "Who knows that Tang Bohu, he is arrogant and unreasonable, he colluded with the government to control the law, occupied my big house and took my land, my grandfather turned against him, and was beaten by him with a stick. Grandma scolded him for bullying the good people, but he was arrested and taken to the Tang Mansion"

Xiao Xun was obviously a little embarrassed when he heard what Xue Mu said inside.

He could only explain to the eldest princess in advance: "My Yue'er, I don't know where to invite a teacher. I was dissatisfied with him at first, but now he said some nonsense things. Don't come next time."

As he said that, he became angry, as if he was acting for Zhao Ruoli.

But Zhao Ruoli said: "I think what he said is very interesting, should he be telling a story?"

Xiao Xun nodded: "This kid seems to know some folk tales, but my family's Yue'er doesn't read the Four Books and Five Classics, but indulges in these story books all day long. It's really unfortunate for my family."

"Sir, it's actually not that serious. I also read those scripts." Zhao Ruoli laughed.

Xiao Xun suddenly became embarrassed. He faltered and wanted to explain, but he was afraid that the description would become darker.

At this time, Xue Mu in the room heard the voice outside the door, and immediately asked Xiao Qingyue: "Your father seems to be here?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyue quickly stood up and opened the door angrily.

She originally thought that Xiao Xun was eavesdropping on their speech outside.

Xiao Qingyue despised this kind of disrespectful villain behavior.

But when she opened the door, she found that not only his father was standing there, but the eldest princess was also standing behind Xiao Xun.

She was so frightened that she saluted immediately: "Qingyue has seen her, she has seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Zhao Ruoli smiled slightly and motioned her to get up.

Just at this time, she saw Xue Mu sitting inside through the crack of the door.

Sure enough, Zhao Ruoli felt familiar with that voice just now.

It turned out to be the blind man who threw pots on the side of the road before.

Zhao Ruoli didn't expect to meet him here.

Xiao Xun said a few words: "His Royal Highness and I will go to the palace, you stay at home, do you hear me?"

"I know." Xiao Qingyue replied respectfully.

Then Xiao Xun looked at Zhao Ruoli and said, "His Royal Highness, let's go."

Zhao Ruoli nodded, and before leaving, she glanced at Xue Mu who was in the crack of the door, and then left.

Seeing them leaving, Xiao Qingyue immediately closed the door.

Xue Mu asked, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Xiao Qingyue breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Not only did my father come, but the eldest princess also came."

"Princess?" Xue Mu was a little surprised.

Xiao Qingyue nodded: "Yes, I guess I'm looking for my father to discuss government affairs again."

"Is this eldest princess involved in the government affairs of the palace?" Xue Mu took the opportunity to ask.

Xiao Qingyue also hesitated a bit: "It should be, anyway, I heard from my father that His Majesty is not very good on weekdays."

She also knew that she had to be careful with her words and deeds.So when it comes to this, there is no further talk.

And Xue Mu naturally knew Xiao Qingyue's concerns.

Then he said: "Okay, then let's continue talking. After Tang Bohu finished speaking, Mrs. Hua and Chunxia Dongxiang all blushed."

"Why are they blushing?"

"Well, because they think Tang Bohu is handsome."

"What about Qiuxiang? Isn't she blushing?"

"She will be popular later."

"When will it be red?"

"When she's about to bark."

"When is it called?"

"Um"

On the way to the palace, the eldest princess Zhao Ruoli asked Xiao Xun: "How did Qingyue know the teacher?"

Xiao Xun replied: "It is said that we met through Ruyan."

"Xu Jie's daughter?"

"Exactly."

At this time, Xiao Xun provided a piece of information that surprised the eldest princess Zhao Ruoli: "So this young man is a little out of character, but his literary level is indeed very high."

"How tall is it?" Zhao Ruoli asked curiously.

"I'll know by reading a poem to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Xiao Xun immediately sang a poem: "There are several plum branches in the corner of the wall, and Ling Han blooms alone. He knows it's not snow, because there is a dark fragrance."

Zhao Ruoli was a little surprised after listening to this poem, she looked at Xiao Xun and asked, "Is he comparing himself to a plum blossom?"

"Yes." Xiao Xun couldn't help feeling emotional: "It can be seen that this person has great ambitions in his heart, and he is a malleable material."

Hearing this, the expression on Zhao Ruoli's face was somewhat interested.

It seems to be planning something.
