Yan Cigui.

Grandma Xia cleaned up the basin.

Turning around, Xu Miao was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking sleepy.

"Ma'am," Nurse Xia walked behind her, and comforted her softly, "I know you're not feeling well, but you have to pull yourself together. Young master is young and ridiculous, but luckily he can still listen to what you and the master say."

Xu Miao shook her head and said softly, "That's not what I was thinking about."

Mother Xia was startled when she heard the words: "Then you..."

"Mom, I don't know what to do in my heart." Xu Miao subconsciously grabbed Nanny Xia's hand, her voice trembling, "If one day, the master and Xun'er, they and Ah Jian have conflicts, what should I do? Woolen cloth?"

Nanny Xia's heart was pounding.

"how could be?"

These four words blurted out.

Seeing Xu Miao's dignified expression, Madam Xia hesitated again and again, and said, "If there is really a conflict, what this servant thinks is to help whoever is right. They are all relatives connected by blood, so I can't sit down and talk about the truth. ?"

That's what she said, but the more Mother Xia said, the more she didn't believe it.

In this world, how can there be a complete right and wrong?
And the most unclear right or wrong is the housework.

It's hard to judge a clean official!
Just because I am a relative, the long-winded truth cannot be suppressed, and the knot in my heart is getting deeper.

Madam Xia is very clear about these reasons.

But what could she say?

She could only persuade Madam in this way.

Nanny Xia took out the hand held by Xu Miao, and gently pressed her forehead for her.

"You just think too much for a while."

"Conflict? What kind of conflict can there be? After thinking about it, the servant girl may only have conflicts in the court."

"It can only be said that political opinions are different, and each has its own ideas."

"Whether it's the Fuguogong or the master, there is no need to persuade the other party when it comes to differences in political opinions. Whoever can persuade the Holy One will follow his own."

"There is nothing left in the horoscope. You are too worried about it. If you fall ill, it won't be worth it."

"When you get back to sleep, you will feel much more at ease."

Xu Miao sighed again.

She wanted to tell Nanny Xia about her bizarre dreams, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that they were all dreams.

Holding a dream as an arrow is too ridiculous.

After hesitating, Xu Miao said: "Everyone in this family hides many things from us.

I think it's the master's order, and the master doesn't want me to worry about those things.

I don't want to embarrass people, I don't have to let them be caught in the middle, it's better to listen to and watch more.

If there is any situation outside, my mother will tell me earlier.

It's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. "

Grandma Xia agreed to her.

The two of them were talking in a low voice, when someone called out, saying that Liu Ping had come.

"I wanted to come here to say hello, but they said you, father called my brother to give a lecture." Liu Ping sat down beside Xu Miao, "What did my brother do to make you unhappy in the morning. I see your expression, Didn't you sleep well at night?"

Xu Miao didn't want her daughter to listen to the messy things outside.

But thinking of the feeling of being kept in the dark, she still said it.

Liu Ping was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Raising an outer room?
fraud?

Is this something that can happen to their Liu family?
But it just happened.

The most frightening thing is that she didn't hear any news, and her mother only found out yesterday.

This……

"How can they do this?"

Unable to tell whether it was wronged or unwilling, Liu Ping's vision blurred.

Seeing this, Xu Miao hugged Liu Ping to comfort her.

The mother and daughter talked a lot.

Liu Ping calmed down a lot. Seeing that her mother was tired, she asked her to lie down and rest first, and then she sat on the edge of the couch and lost her mind.

Xu Shizhen was too tired, Xu Miao closed his eyes and rested, and his breathing gradually took longer.

Liu Ping got up lightly, said something to Madam Xia, and left first.

Seeing Liu Ping's distraught look, Xia Mama felt pain in her heart.

Originally wanted to give a few words of advice, but after thinking about it, Miss Ping is soft and introverted, not a person who would cause trouble, so she gave up.

Liu Ping is indeed shy.

She walked outside Liu Xun's study, thought it over, but didn't go in.

He called for a sedan chair to go out, and was in a dilemma again outside the Narcissus Hutong.

It seems bad to knock on the door.

Going back home, but unwilling.

While hesitating, Liu Ping happened to see a young woman through the sedan chair curtain.

She had never seen Yue Niang, but almost instantly, she was able to identify that it was "Yue Niang".

That inexplicably soft and charming look is the image of the "outside room" in Liu Ping's mind.

She just stared at it for several times until Yueniang left her sight.

The car curtain fell, and a thought suddenly flashed in my mind.

Deja Vu.

Especially the tear mole...

Liu Ping suddenly remembered.

morning.

Xu Miao woke up.

The feeling of returning to the cage did not improve her spirits, on the contrary, her head was swollen with pain.

Liu Ping just came back and whispered to her about her discovery.

"It's a bit like the sister we met in Fa'an Temple once. I remember her surname is Jin."

Xu Miao half-closed her eyes, trying her best to recall the girl she ran into in Fa'an Temple that day.

She didn't have a deep impression of people who only met once, but fortunately Liu Ping helped her think about it together, so she vaguely remembered it.

Why try so hard to remember?
Xu Miao couldn't explain why.

I just subconsciously feel that this matter is important.

She had to remember it first and keep it firmly in her heart.

Liu Xun has been a good son at home for two days.

In the night of Shangyuan, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to Narcissus Alley.

In front of Yueniang, Liu Xun did not tell the nonsense of "fighting with the examinee", but truthfully told "The prince's kick was really cruel".

Yue Niang heard cold sweat on the back of her neck.

That prince was really unreasonable and overbearing. An official son also kicked him whenever he said he wanted to.

"My lord, why did the prince make things difficult for you?" Yue Niang asked.

Liu Xun was speechless.

What does that make him say?
Said that he wanted to tie a person similar to you, Yue Niang, to the prince, but something went wrong with the guards who did it?
He didn't dare to say, he only said vaguely: "There are some contradictions..."

Yue Niang's heart sank.

Young Master can only nod in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.

There is no contradiction in nodding, unless you shake your head.

What did the son reject?
Suddenly, Yue Niang remembered the look in the prince's eyes on her that day.

She once told Liu Xun, and she was also telling herself that the prince didn't like her like this.

She has been with the young master for so long, why does His Royal Highness...

But what if His Highness is such a bastard?

The young master refused His Highness because of this, so he got kicked?
Didn't she harm the young master?
The full moon hangs in the sky until dawn.

When the time came, the courtiers stepped up to the Golden Luan Hall.

The Holy Majesty heard the officials talk about big and small matters, and after he retired from the court, he called Li Shao and Xu Jian to the imperial study.

"From now on, I will go to the Ministry of Rites to watch the government. Think more about it," said the Holy Master in a deep voice, "Have you figured out where to start?"

Li Shao felt guilty.

Xu Jian passed him and answered a few words: "After the Ministry of Rites, I will be busy with Enke, and I have to cooperate with Honglu Temple to prepare for the reception of the envoys of Gu Yue. The rest of the affairs will be done step by step. I will accompany your Highness to the Ministry of Rites, and they will not cause trouble with the officials. Wherever you see it, you will see it."

"Yes, that's what Duke Fu said." Upon hearing this, Li Shao hurriedly answered, "It's the first time for me to watch politics, and I'm a stupefied young man, so I definitely can't make trouble for the lower yamen."

The Holy Majesty looked at the two of them and did not correct anything.

After saying a few more words, he asked Xu Jian to leave first, leaving Li Shao to give more instructions.

"I heard that the guard next to you has changed?" The Holy One asked.

Li Shao pursed his lower lip.

On this point, he came prepared.

What about "running away with a pile of gambling debts", that's because Qian Hu and Liu Xun came to him to deal with him. The real situation is probably because the kidnapper missed his hand and was tied up. I don't know which ravine they were buried in.

He deserved it even if he was buried, he was wicked and incompetent, so he just added trouble to him.

Li Shao will definitely not go to Geng Baoyuan again with great fanfare, and let Qian Hu use this excuse and some money to send Geng's father out of Beijing, and forget it.

As for the obvious...

Li Shaodao: "His father is not in good health and wants to go back to his hometown to take care of the elderly, so he handed over the resignation form, and my son agrees."

This reason is very good and natural.

The Holy Majesty has heard it, but his mind is still on politics.

"If you don't understand something, ask Xu Jian, or ask the officials when they are free," he explained, "Either write it down and come back and ask me."

Li Shao responded with a full mouth.

When he came out of the imperial study room, the cold wind blew, and Li Shao's tensed shoulders relaxed a little.

Royal Father, really, you asked so many questions.

Fortunately, Xu Jian made a rescue just now...

rescue?

Turning his head away, Li Shao glanced at Xu Jian who was standing in the corridor, and suddenly there was a buzzing in his head?
OK!

That's called a rescue? !
That's called turning over old accounts!
Xu Jian was clearly reminding him that when he first went back to Yuguan, he "added chaos".

However, he didn't realize it just now, and he even followed Xu Jian's words and called himself a "foolish young man"!
Xu Jian, thanks to his gratitude just now, how could he know that there is a knife hidden in his sleeve!

The more Li Shao thought about it, the more angry he became, he flicked his sleeves and strode out.

Xu Jian looked at Li Shao's back and stepped up to follow.

The prince may not be able to understand good words, but those who scold him are quite perceptive.

It's not in vain that he deliberately seeks trouble.

Li Shao held his breath and went to the Ministry of Rites, naturally he didn't have much good looks.

However, the whole yamen was so busy that they didn't even touch the floor, only a doctor who was in charge of guiding Li Shao picked out some documents and sent them for His Highness to read first.

Li Shao turned it over and read it, and Sangu taught it carefully for many years, so he wouldn't fail to understand it, but it was very boring.

Watching politics seems to be less exciting than listening to three old men's lectures.

Finally, it was time to go to the Yamen, but the Ministry of Rites, from Shangshu to Siwu, no one wanted to pack up and go home, and they were still busy with their own affairs.

Li Shao sat for a while, really bored.

"Aren't you hungry?" he asked Xu Jian.

Xu Jian was writing something with a pen when he heard the words: "I'm fine, if your highness is hungry, you might as well fill up your stomach first. I see that the adults will be busy for an hour or two. Your highness will come back after filling his stomach."

This is quite pleasant.

Li Shao left and found a restaurant near the Thousand Steps Corridor, where he ate and drank.

After several reminders from the servant, he returned to the Ministry of Rites.

The yamen is still brightly lit.

Feng Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites heard that Li Shao was back, so he came to ask a few words: "Your Highness, what are your opinions and thoughts on watching politics today..."

Li Shao interrupted him: "I see you are all busy, let's forget about my point of view, I will think about it later, and I will talk about it after you have been busy for a while."

Hearing what he said, Feng Shangshu complied kindly.

Sending off Li Shao and Xu Jian, the Ministry of Rituals is still fighting at night with lights on.

Only a quarter of an hour later, Shen Chen sent two large food boxes.

"Knowing everyone's hard work, His Highness ordered it to be delivered," he handed it to Feng Shangshu, "No matter how busy you are, you have to make some allowances."

Feng Shangshu stroked his beard and happily agreed.

He's not stupid, it's definitely not from His Royal Highness, but from Duke Fuguo.

With His Highness's noble status, one can think of some sophistication in the world, and the people below feel safe, but even if they can't think of it, it's not unusual.

Naturally, someone around should handle this for His Highness.

The Holy Majesty asked Duke Fu to follow him. Apart from giving advice to His Highness, he also took care of trivial matters.

Having said that, preparing some food for them is not among those trivial matters.

It is very unusual for the servants beside His Highness not to have thought of this.

To put it bluntly, it was Duke Fu Zhouquan.

Seeing His Highness returning to the Yamen empty-handed, he asked someone to prepare another one.

After all, they are all courtiers, and courtiers understand the heart of courtiers!
It's no wonder that Shan Shen always praised him a lot in private, saying that don't just look like he is waiting for the fun when Fu Guogong goes to court, he knows it in his heart.

But Feng Shangshu felt that people who are not clear in their hearts can't understand even when they are having fun.

Fu Guogong looked back and saw it quite clearly, could he be a fool?
On the other side, Xu Jian kept sending Li Shao outside the palace gate.

Li Shao wanted to slip away in boredom, but after seeing the pitch-black sky, he gave up.

Feeling uncomfortable, he wanted to find something: "What did you just tell me?"

Xu Jian replied: "Let him bring some food to the Ministry of Rites, and say that His Highness sent it."

Li Shao's lips twitched: "You are really generous."

Officials have salaries.

Just buy it yourself when you are hungry.

He is watching the government in the Ministry of Rites, so why should he take care of their meal?

"You make up your own mind, don't ask me for money." Li Shao said.

He is not short of money, but this is not a matter of money.

It's Xu Jian, who has a lot of things, troubles, and one set of tricks!

After morning court the next day, Li Shao once again knew how much trouble Xu Jian could cause.

Xu Jian asked Eunuch Cao to hand over Zhang Zhezi to the Holy Majesty, who explained in detail yesterday's political observation, what he saw and what he did, everything in detail.

The sage came up and asked him, "What did you write?"

Li Shao didn't write a word, so he could only bite the bullet and talk about the documents he read yesterday.

The Holy One said: "If you have something to say, write it down, you can read it later, and you can also hand it over to Sangu for judgment."

Li Shao could only respond.

After half a month, every morning, Xu Jian handed in one, and Li Shao also had to hand in one.

Xu Jian deliberately wrote longer, but Li Shao was angry and helpless, so he could only write as many sentences as possible.

In the imperial study, Eunuch Cao sorted out all the things collected in the past half month, and handed them over to the Holy Majesty for review.

The Holy Majesty looked back and forth, and sighed: "It's Xu Jian's idea. I read Shao'er's writing, as if I was accompanying him to watch politics."

In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Li Shao gave Xu Jian a hard look with his dark eyes.

trouble making!

bored!

He couldn't bear to have no more fun.
