Not as beautiful as the uncle
Chapter 32 1
Chapter 32
Chi Yu walked bouncingly, and said with a smile: "Before, there were some old grievances in my heart that I couldn't get rid of, so I didn't care about anything else."
"Oh?" Shen Zhibai asked: "They're gone now?"
"It's not all gone." Chi Yu shrugged: "But it's been a lot easier. Master has helped me a lot. Now I feel that even if one day I get my wish, I can continue to live well."
Shen Zhibai was startled, his brows furrowed.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou." Chi Yu looked at the temple ahead, and said with a smile: "I will never have those bad thoughts in the future."
In the past, Shen Qihuai was the only one in her life, and Shen Qihuai didn't want her anymore, so she felt that she had nothing to love in life except revenge.However, after these two months with Master, she suddenly felt that life still has a lot of fun. She can line up to buy the famous sugar figurines in the capital, go to the endless wheat fields in autumn, hide in the house and crack sunflower seeds, or accompany Master Go where he wants to go.
Thinking that there are still many, many things that have not been done, she wished that her life would be longer. How could she be willing to die?
Taking a deep look at him, Shen Zhibai sighed: "Uncle San Huang is indeed very kind to you."
"Yes." Seeing the place where the lottery was asked, Chi Yu said, "So today, let's ask for a lottery for Master as well."
"Hey..." Shen Zhibai wanted to stop her, but Chi Yu ran faster than a rabbit, got into the crowd in the blink of an eye, and got the begging cone.
But she never asked, and she didn't know how to ask.Kneeling on the futon with the lottery tube in hand, Chi Yu looked sideways at the other ladies who came to ask for a lottery, and then followed suit decently.
"Heavenly spirits and earthly spirits..."
Shen Zhibai who was standing behind burst out laughing with a "puchi", raised his sleeves to cover his lips, staring in his eyes, and said rather funnyly: "How can you ask for such a thing?"
"Aren't they all like this?" Chi Yu turned around in confusion, pointed at the girl next to her who was waving a lottery and muttering words.
Shen Zhibai squatted beside her, and whispered helplessly: "What people read is to ask Yue Lao to bless me to have a good marriage. What is your spirit today?"
That's it, Chi Yu nodded, knelt down again, and glanced at the Yuelao stone statue above.
This temple is new, but the stone statues seem to have been brought in from other places. They are mottled in color, kind-hearted, with neatly tied black hair. They are dressed in a red robe with sleeves folded up, holding a long red thread in their hands. It's very clever.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes.
Yuelao, Yuelao, I asked for the wrong marriage talisman last time, and my whole body was burned, and my heart ached.Come again this time to beg, don't trick me again!
"Crack!" A bamboo stick fell down.
Chi Yu opened his eyes, happily picked up the bamboo stick and squeezed it in his hand, then continued to close his eyes and whispered: "There is a teacher in the family, the year of the weak crown is too early, and I haven't got a good match yet, please give me another stick."
When the bamboo sticks fell to the ground, Chi Yu instantly forgot that there was a little lord next to him, and went to find the signer with the two bamboo sticks in his arms.
Shen Zhibai stretched out his hand to call her, but he couldn't bear to see her bouncing around so happily.With a low laugh, she looked at the bamboo stick tube she had put on the ground, picked it up and knelt down on the futon.
His marriage appeared early in the morning, but it has always been difficult. Now it is not absolutely impossible for that person to return to his original identity.
"Crack." A sign came out, and it fell on the ground with a crisp sound. Shen Zhibai smiled and opened his eyes to take it, and looked down, the smile on his face froze instantly.
"It says 'the marriage in the previous life is in this life, but the branches are born early. There is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the lover survives in danger." The white-bearded lottery interpreter shook his head and read, glanced at Chiyu, and stretched out his hand to Chiyu: "Chenghui , sign for thirty cents a piece."
"Oh!" Chi Yu honestly took out his purse and gave him sixty coins, then blinked his eyes expectantly, waiting for him to continue.
White Beard took the money, and his mouth was sharp in an instant: "Girl, you met the wrong person, and there are many problems, but there is no danger, your lover has appeared!"
"Really?" Chi Yu asked excitedly, "Who is it?"
White Beard looked at her inexplicably: "How does this little old man know? It's not written on the signature, it just says that your lover will probably appear in a dangerous situation."
Danger?Chi Yu nodded half-understanding, and quickly handed over the other: "This is a man's, I begged for him. Can you see it?"
The white beard took it calmly, ready to read it confidently, but when he saw the signature, the beard trembled.
"What's wrong?" Chi Yu stretched out his head and said with concern: "Don't you know these words? Still can't read clearly? Let me read it for you..."
"No need!" Whitebeard hurriedly protected the signature, swallowed, looked at Chi Yu tremblingly, took out the sixty Wen that he had just accepted from her, and stuffed it back into her hand: "This The little old man can't understand the root signature, and the money will be returned to you."
"Hey..." Chi Yu was puzzled: "Why can't you solve it?"
"Little old man still has something to do." White Beard stood up tremblingly, holding the bamboo stick and ran away: "There is still something to do! There are so many things to do! Farewell, farewell!"
After finishing speaking, he jumped ten feet away with a "swoosh", and his steps were so vigorous that he didn't look like an elderly person at all. Chi Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.
No one released the lottery, she turned her head and wanted to leave, but saw Shen Zhibai standing not far behind holding the lottery with a dignified expression.
"Young Lord!" Only then did he realize that he had forgotten about him, Chi Yu ran over guiltily, and gestured: "The person who solved the sign couldn't understand it and ran away. I'm afraid your sign is also..."
"It's okay." With a forced smile, Shen Zhibai said: "Let's go and see the plum blossoms again."
"Okay." Chi Yu nodded, and happily walked towards the Merlin.
Shen Zhibai looked at her back, let out a low laugh, and threw out the bamboo stick in his hand gracefully.
On the red and white stick, the side where the sign should be written is empty, without a single word.
The cold wind is bitter, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is overflowing.
Shen Guyuan sat on the bed with a stern face, wrapped in a quilt, squinting at the sky outside the window, his whole body was filled with a cool breath.
Madam Zheng came in with the dinner, and said with a smile: "Master, Chiyu girl and the young master are probably late to play, so you can eat the dinner first."
Shen Guyuan didn't say anything.
The corners of Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and she sighed deliberately: "This is not the dinner of Chiyu girl, it's not very delicious, why don't you wait a little longer, master?"
"No need." Shen Guyuan let go of the quilt and got out of bed: "I'll eat alone."
Madam Zheng was a little surprised, she set the bowls and chopsticks for him, and said jokingly: "In the past, Chiyu girl was not around, so you couldn't even eat?"
"What nonsense?" Shen Guyuan frowned, and looked at her impatiently: "Have you forgotten what I'm here for?"
"I haven't forgotten." Madam Zheng bowed her knees: "This servant thought the master had forgotten."
"I don't." Pursing his lips slightly, Shen Guyuan picked up the chopsticks.
He will never forget what he should do, and he will never be consumed too much by Ning Chiyu.
Absolutely not!
As night fell, Chi Yu happily returned to the palace, and as soon as he entered the door, his eyes brightened and he said: "Master, I saw the beautiful Yuelao Temple!"
Shen Guyuan looked at the memorial in his hand without raising his head: "Really? How beautiful?"
"I'll show you!" Chi Yu was so excited, he turned around and hugged Jiao Weiqin out.
Shen Guyuan still didn't raise his head, cursing in his heart that this girl has no brains, how beautiful she is, just tell me how beautiful she is, what are you doing holding the piano?
However, when the first sound sounded, he froze.
Together with the flat tone, it is clear and fragrant. It seems that there is a flat road in front of you, and the roadside is full of plum blossoms.The sound of the piano is melodious, and the fragrance of flowers floats in from outside the car, which is refreshing.
He looked up.
With a smile on her face, Chi Yu skillfully told him the beautiful scenery she saw with the sound of the piano. There are towering temples with clanging sounds; there is also an endless plum forest, which is quiet and moving.Where the sound of the piano turns, there is a small bridge and flowing water. On the bluestone slab behind the temple, the clear spring water is gurgling.Hopeful boys and girls hold bamboo tubes in their hands, praying for their marriage.When the bell in the distance rang, it seemed like the answer of the moon in the sky, echoing in the temple for a long time.
A branch of plum blossoms crosses the red tiles and blooms just right in front of people's eyes.
At the end of the song, Chi Yu looked at his master a little apprehensively and expectantly.
She has been secretly practicing the piano without letting him find out. Now that she can finally use the piano to describe the scenery, will he praise himself?
Shen Guyuan pinched the notebook, and finally moved, as if he just came back to his senses.But when he opened his mouth, he said flatly, "I see."
With a broken face, Chi Yu moved to his side unhappily: "Is that just one sentence?"
"What else do you want to say?" Shen Guyuan gave her a white look: "It's getting late, go to bed earlier."
With a flat mouth, Chi Yu turned to wash up, and said angrily: "It's not tiring to keep a straight face all day long, play the piano for him with good intentions, and don't even give him a compliment, it's inhuman..."
"You can read it louder." The person behind said grimly: "Anyway, I can hear you."
With a numb scalp, Chi Yu laughed dryly and squeezed his mouth.
Going to bed, Shen Guyuan didn't hug her like usual, only said: "There is something I forgot to tell you."
"What?" Chi Yu held the quilt and opened her innocent eyes.
"Despite Si Ming's objection, Shen Qihuai wants to marry Yu Youwei." Shen Guyuan said indifferently: "We keep the wedding simple, and I just ask Yu Youwei to pass right away."
"That's it." Chi Yu tilted his head, feeling that he was not as excited as he imagined: "If they want to succeed, they will succeed."
"The news that you are still alive has already spread in the capital, and they are married, so the rumors outside must not be pleasant." Shen Guyuan said: "You should think about it."
"What do you want to do or not?" Chi Yu smiled wryly, "I can't help it."
Shen Guyuan closed his eyes: "There are ways, it depends on whether you are willing or not."
"Huh?" Chi Yu propped himself up curiously and lay on his chest: "What way?"
Reaching out to brush her off, Shen Guyuan said: "You get married first, and their marriage will not affect you."
Slightly taken aback, Chi Yu looked at him, and suddenly blushed a little: "This... this..."
"Shen Zhibai has liked you for a long time. If you are willing, he will definitely not object." Without looking at her, Shen Guyuan's voice was cold: "If you marry him, you will definitely not suffer."
The face that was still red just now turned pale in an instant, and Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly: "Who are you marrying?"
"Shen Zhibai." Shen Guyuan tilted his head, half-opened his eyes: "Don't you like him too?"
Panicked, Chi Yu sat up, a little at a loss: "Marry...marry the young master? But I..."
Looking down at her body with only her bellyband on, she couldn't laugh or cry: "I am like Master, how can I still get married?"
"What's the point?" Shen Guyuan said, "You just helped me keep warm, and you didn't do anything else."
"Didn't do anything else?" Chi Yu stared: "Then last time at the Palace of Mercy..."
"I lied to you." Shen Guyuan said, "I just wanted to scare you, nothing happened between you and me."
With a chill in his heart, the cold reached his limbs, Chi Yu sat on the bed blankly and looked at the man in front of him, feeling that the house that was finally rebuilt on the ruins collapsed again in an instant.
What is this?If she and him are like this, can it be considered that nothing happened?
Or is it that in his opinion, as long as she doesn't perform Zhou Gong's rituals, then she is not his person?
"Don't react like that." Shen Guyuan frowned, "It's as if I'm bullying you."
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Chi Yu burst into tears. Fortunately, there was no light in the room, so no one must be able to see it.
"Master didn't bully me." After calming down, Chi Yu said in a steady tone: "I was thinking too much, I thought..."
Thinking that being able to share the same bed like this, there must be a place for her in Master's heart.
However, this was a bigger joke than Shen Qihuai's liking for her, it made her want to cry.Why do you become passionate about yourself for no reason?What would a man like my master think of her?He hugged her to sleep just because she was warm, and took off his clothes just because the heat transfer was faster. For so long, he has never had the slightest desire to be with her.
Passionate is always disturbed by ruthless...
Shaking his head, Chi Yu propped himself up and got out of bed, goosebumps all over his body, tears streaming down his face, if the lights were on, he must be in a mess.Fortunately, it was pitch black all around, so she held back her sobs and pretended to be nonchalant: "I promised Master, if Master helps me, I will find a good man to marry. Since Master thinks that the young master is a good man, then everything is up to Master." call the shots."
Shen Guyuan didn't say a word, only his white hair shone slightly in the darkness.
Chi Yu was shivering from the cold, and couldn't help bumping his teeth up and down. He hugged his arms desperately to hold back his voice, and forced a smile: "That disciple went to sleep on the soft couch first."
She didn't receive a response, and she didn't intend to wait any longer. She hugged the quilt and wrapped herself up on the soft couch, tightly closing her eyes.
It's because she's thinking too much, it's because she's being sentimental, she shouldn't have thought that she shouldn't have it in the first place, isn't it painful enough to suffer from Shen Qihuai?This heart, how can it move around.
It must be that the master was too kind to her before, so she was a little dizzy, and she started thinking about him.Even if people like to hug her to sleep, it's only because she can warm the bed.
Comforting himself with one sentence, Chi Yu let out a long breath, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Starting tomorrow, just pretend nothing happened and live your life well.
So, the next day, Chi Yu got up early, took a look at the still bed inside, washed up, and went out holding the piano.
"Morning Chiyu." Madam Zheng greeted her as she saw her holding the breakfast.
"Morning mother." Chi Yu grinned, "I'm going out to practice the piano!"
It swept over like a gust of wind, and Madam Zheng was dumbfounded: "Hey, breakfast..."
"No need!"
Looking at her back suspiciously, Madam Zheng shook her head and stepped into the room, only to see that Shen Guyuan on the bed had clearly opened her eyes.
"Master?" Madam Zheng raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you get up when you're awake?"
With a dark face, Shen Guyuan said: "Get up later."
Ok?Madam Zheng felt something was wrong, she stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, and was startled: "Why is it so cold again?!"
I slept with Chi Yu recently, didn't I get up warm every day?Today is good, there is frost on the eyebrows!
Glaring at her impatiently, Shen Guyuan said: "Don't worry about it, boil some hot water, and I'll take a bath."
Taking a deep look at him, Madam Zheng shook her head, turned around and went out to prepare.
When Chi Yu came back from piano practice, he had returned to normal. When he saw Shen Guyuan, he acted as if nothing had happened, ran over and said with a smile, "Master, I just heard from someone outside that the wedding of the Prince of Mercy Palace will be arranged here. At the end of the month, if you count the days, there are only five days left!"
Glancing at her, Shen Guyuan pursed his lips: "So what's the matter?"
"In five days, it's too late for Najib to ask the ceremony, so the marriage with the young master..." Chi Yu smiled: "Should we think about it in the long run?"
His fingers froze slightly, and he continued flipping through the memorial, Shen Guyuan nodded: "Yes."
Chi Yu laughed and sat down next to him: "Besides, I haven't communicated with the young master enough, and it would be quite abrupt for Master to be a matchmaker rashly. Right now is the critical moment of turmoil in the court, so why don't you just wait a few more minutes?" A month, anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
"It's up to you." Shen Guyuan's expression eased, and he curled his lips and said, "Anyway, it's not me that the people outside are pointing at."
The charcoal fire in the room was low, so Chi Yu ran over to add charcoal, then stuffed Mrs. Tang into his hand, then clapped his hands, and ran to sit down on the soft couch in peace of mind.
In the past, she would definitely sit in his arms obediently, cuddling him warmly like a cat, but now... probably she has realized that she doesn't get close to him anymore.
Shen Guyuan's eyes darkened, staring at the folder in his hand without saying a word.
"Third Prince!" Someone shouted outside, Shen Guyuan raised his head, and saw Zhao Yinma rushing in wearing a suit of armor, his face was excited and worried: "There is a fight in the palace! There is a fight!"
Chi Yu was startled, and immediately jumped off the soft couch: "Who is fighting with whom?"
"Bachelor Li and Zhong Wushen fought directly in front of the young emperor!" Zhao Yinma slapped the table boldly: "I was ordered by the emperor to put both of them in the prison, thinking Anyway, it came out, just in time to report a letter."
"It's so lively." Shen Guyuan chuckled lightly: "Li Zhixiao is not a person who will let it go, but Zhong Wushen is not a soft persimmon either."
"That's not it!" Zhao Yinma couldn't help gesticulating: "Master Li hit such a big hole on Master Zhong's head with a jade card! It's so big! Master Zhong is not easy to provoke, so fight back immediately and kill Master Li!" Pushed and hit the stone pillar, he didn't recover for a long time. The young emperor cried in fright on the spot, Prince Xiao was furious, and directly locked the two of them together, and the doctor didn't let him."
Chi Yu was speechless: "Do you dare to fight in front of the emperor?"
"Not only beating, but also scolding." Zhao Yinma stared and said: "Master Li said that he had written a memorial with the cabinet to impeach the third minister for corruption, but Master Zhong retorted and called him a traitor, which made Master Li angry. The court accused him of embezzling the grain and silver of the Autumn Harvest treasury, and said that if he could not find out, he would voluntarily dismiss him!"
Chi Yu clapped his hands, and he could basically imagine Shen Qihuai's expression next to him when he said those words.
Originally, he still wanted to get along with Si Ni, but now he can only choose one of these two people, and he can't have both.This is undoubtedly bad news for Shen Qihuai.
"Lord Li definitely doesn't need to be dismissed." Shen Guyuan said indifferently: "He can find out."
"Why?" Chi Yu and Zhao Yinma asked together.
Glancing at them with the expression of looking at a fool, Shen Guyuan turned his thin lips, and spit out four words: "Take the rudder according to the wind."
Shen Qihuai was able to get along like a fish in water in the officialdom at a young age, that was due to his own ability.The move of "seeing the wind to steer the rudder" is a basic skill, so he naturally uses it proficiently.
In the current situation, Li Zhixiao has won half of him, Zhong Wushen is his old department, one is alive and well, and the other is in crisis.As smart as Shen Qihuai, he knows whose side he should be on without even thinking about it.It's just that the superficial effort has to be done well, otherwise it's easy to capsize.
"The cabinet papers have been handed in." In the prison, Shen Qihuai stood in front of Zhong Wushen, and said with a headache: "I don't know why Li Zhixiao is targeting you like this, and I will not let you go unless I bite you to death, but this king I have made all the preparations, and I will definitely get you out and get rid of your crime."
"My lord." Zhong Wushen was very worried: "Looking at Li Zhixiao's attitude, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of this crime so easily."
"Then what should we do?" Shen Qihuai asked him in turn.
Zhong Wushen sighed, thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and cupped his hands: "My lord will do his best, if we really can't escape this catastrophe, let's find a way."
"Okay." Shen Qihuai agreed to him sincerely.
But as soon as he turned around, he went to Li's mansion.Li Zhixiao has been released at home, Shen Qihuai stepped forward and said straight to the point: "My lord wants to get rid of Zhong Wushen, this king has a way."
This move of "speaking good things on both sides, neither side will offend" is very skillful. Shen Qihuai is calm and unhurried, and with his superb acting skills and brilliant tongue, he has won unanimous praise from both Li Zhong and Li Zhong.
So, a few days later, Zhong Wushen was inexplicably convicted by iron-like evidence, and all his property was confiscated.
"My lord's guess is really right." Li Zhixiao put down the tea in his hand, looked at Shen Guyuan opposite him: "My sympathy for my lord really gave up on Zhong Wushen."
Shen Guyuan embraced Mrs. Tang, and said calmly: "His thoughts are not difficult to guess, but adults' thoughts are more difficult to guess than him."
"Oh?" Li Zhixiao smiled, "What's wrong with the old man's mind?"
"Now the government and the opposition are divided into two factions, Shen Qihuai's faction is very powerful, and all the officials in the court have moved closer to him. He has already thrown out enough sincere invitations to the lord, why did the lord still come to my benevolent palace?"
Hearing this, Li Zhixiao had a smile in his eyes, took a sip of tea, and let out a mouthful of mist: "Do you have to ask why? My father taught me that the descendants of the Li family should be loyal to the Shen royal family and not rebel. "
He has always listened to his father's words the most, but Shen Qihuai doesn't think so, in his world, all integrity and obsession can be bought with money.
Since he doesn't think so, it doesn't matter if he cooperates.
Shen Guyuan laughed: "Your Excellency is really a rare and beautiful person in troubled times."
"Don't dare to do it." Li Zhixiao cupped his hands: "This old man does things, but only with his heart."
With Li Zhixiao secretly helping each other, the orthodox and unified faction of the royal family gradually gained momentum. The two sides confronted each other.Shen Guyuan didn't step out of the house, but every day someone came to tell him what happened in the court, and the four princes also came every few days.
Chi Yu squatted in a far corner and watched from a distance, and saw Shen Guyuan surrounded by the crowd, with particularly bright white hair, and he glanced towards her inadvertently, his beautiful eyes shining brightly.
With a "boom" in his heart, Chi Yu quickly lowered his head.
"What are you doing hiding here?" There was a pair of white brocade boots parked beside her, Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Zhibai looking at her curiously.
"Hey." Chi Yu stretched out his paw, "Young Master, I'm feeding the cat."
Luo Bai and Liu Hua meowed and buried their heads in the bowl to eat, not caring at all that a stranger approached.
Squatting down with her, the young master smiled and said: "It's rare for a girl to like to keep this kind of little wild cat at home. Does the emperor love clean people so much, so he doesn't dislike him?"
"They are very obedient, and basically won't enter the main house." Chi Yu reached out and hugged Luo Bai and said, "It's just a little cold recently, and I like to nest on the window outside the main house, where it's warm."
Shen Zhibai laughed, and stretched out his hand to touch Luo Bai, but Luo Bai didn't know if he didn't eat enough or something, he struggled twice, his soft body broke away from Chi Yu's grip, and ran away meowing away.
Liuhua took a look, quickly ate two more bites, and then ran with it.
"Sorry." Chi Yu shrugged: "These two little guys have a weird temper."
"It doesn't matter." Shen Zhibai smiled and said, "Pity the big wedding at the palace in the future, do you want to go?"
The corner of Chi Yu's mouth twitched: "What am I going to do? Watch the fun?"
Isn't that regarded as a fun to watch?
"That's right." Shen Zhibai smiled: "Then, do you want to go out with me?"
go again?Chi Yu really wanted to refuse, but on second thought, her master wanted to match the two of them together. In that case, at least she had to cultivate a relationship, otherwise it would be embarrassing. In her eyes, Shen Zhibai was half an older brother. The kind that can't be changed.
"it is good."
A group of princes in the room were talking about business, but when they turned their heads, they saw Shen Guyuan distracted, staring coldly at the vase at the door, wondering what he was thinking.
"Guyuan!" Prince Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you listening to my king?"
"Huh?" Shen Guyuan frowned, "What did you say?"
Prince Zhong sighed, and repeated again: "The year-end memorial ceremony is coming, and General Ji will also return to the court. We plan to mention the matter of taking back the military power in the ancestral temple."
The great general Ji Yadong led the army to go out, and he has already returned victoriously, and no troops have ever returned to the court.Now that the mid-year sacrifice is approaching, according to the rules, he has to surrender his military power no matter what.It's just that this matter has to be done beautifully, otherwise it's easy to get sidetracked.
"The right to withdraw troops is a right." Shen Guyuan said: "You guys can figure it out."
Aware of his absent-mindedness, several princes murmured together: "What's the matter?"
"I don't know, it may be because the weather is too cold. I heard people say that Guyuan is afraid of the cold."
"That's not true. I think he looks so out of his mind, it seems that he has encountered some emotional trouble." Prince Jing said with experience: "My family Zhibai often has this expression."
Are you talking about emotional troubles... Several people looked out from the direction of the door in unison.
In the haystack in the corner outside, Ning Chiyu was talking to Shen Zhibai, with a silly expression on his face, and he didn't look at them at all.
Shen Guyuan stood up impatiently: "Have you finished talking? After you finish talking, everyone should leave first, it's getting late."
"Hey..." Prince Xiao grabbed the door frame and looked back at him: "Guyuan, is it time for you to become a concubine?"
Shen Guyuan sneered: "It's very early, don't worry about me, it's the right thing to do when Mr. Huang's heir comes out."
Prince Xiao let go of his hand embarrassingly, and was pushed out.
Prince Jing also grabbed the door frame immediately, and said seriously: "Gu Yuan, I have a son, I have to remind you, you have to give birth as soon as possible!"
"You'd better worry about your own child first." Shen Guyuan narrowed his eyes: "He's not young anymore."
Speaking of this, Prince Jing used his feet to hook the doorframe together: "Zhibai seems to have a sweetheart, but he just refuses to tell this king, so Yuan, you have a good relationship with him, do you have time to help me set a routine? "
"It's easy to say." Shen Guyuan said: "Just wait and drink your daughter-in-law's tea."
"So fast? Who is it? Hey..."
Pushing away these chattering fat princes, Shen Guyuan closed the door and ground his teeth.
"Dong dong dong——" the door behind was knocked again, Shen Guyuan opened it impatiently, and roared: "Shut up!"
Chi Yu was taken aback by the roar, and blinked at him blankly.
Seeing that it was her, Shen Guyuan pursed his lips, and let the door open to let her in.
"Why is Master so angry?" Chi Yu said with a smile, "Scared me."
"Shen Zhibai is leaving too?" Shen Guyuan asked in a muffled voice.
Nodding his head, Chi Yu said: "Let's go with Prince Jing, Mother Zheng and Su Ming are cleaning up the yard together."
"En." Shen Guyuan nodded, and had nothing else to say.Chi Yu looked at his back, opened his mouth, and chose to remain silent.
At night, when Chi Yu was sleeping on a soft couch, he heard the sound of tossing and turning on the bed.
"Can't master fall asleep?" She couldn't help asking.
The person on the bed responded with a muffled sound.
Wrapped in the quilt and getting out of bed, Chi Yu knelt down beside his bed and said with a smile, "That's just right, shall I tell you a story?"
Shen Guyuan was so cold that he was in a bad mood and asked, "What story?"
"A long time ago, there was a story about a man who couldn't bear the tyranny of a tyrant and led his soldiers to rebel." Chi Yu sat down tightly wrapped in the quilt, and said softly, "The rebel in the rumor is very powerful. A group of soldiers broke into the palace and cut off the head of the tyrant, saving the suffering and suffering common people in the world."
Curling his lips, Shen Guyuan said, "The Emperor Shen's Taizu?"
"Master is so smart!" Chi Yu said with a chuckle, "I said before that I would tell you the story of Emperor Taizu, and it will be the year-end memorial service soon. It is best that you have an idea in mind."
"Huh." Shen Guyuan was a little disdainful: "Isn't it just the monarch who founded the dynasty? Every dynasty has it. As for singing like this?"
"Emperor Taizu's credit does not lie in the founding of the country, but in that he is very considerate of the people." Chi Yu said: "He set up the notice drums at the gates of various government offices, so that the people will sound the drums if they have a grievance. Those who dare to shirk. They also cut taxes and built canals to benefit the people. During his rule, the whole country prospered and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"But he didn't end well." Chi Yu wrinkled his nose: "I heard from my concubine that the Emperor Taizu died in battle. He didn't have to die, but his beloved concubine was assassinated by the enemy country, and he felt that life was hopeless." Lian died in the snow after winning the last battle."
"Still a lover?" Shen Guyuan sneered: "I can't live without a woman. Is this kind of king worthy of their praise?"
Chi Yu puffed out dissatisfied: "Emperor Taizu is very great, without him, we would all have to be born in a country where the people are struggling to survive!"
"The people nowadays don't live and work in peace." Shen Guyuan curled his lips: "Everywhere is a mess."
Discouraged, Chi Yu said helplessly: "What can I do? How many people can take care of the common people in such a scene in the court? They are all busy fighting for power."
Especially Shen Qihuai, playing with power and human life, has no intention of thinking about the common people at all.
Shen Guyuan fell silent, and Chi Yu continued to babble about the heroic deeds of Emperor Taizu.
Half an hour later, the person beside the bed fell asleep sitting up.
Shen Guyuan finally took out the cotton balls stuffed in her ears, looked at her chick pecking at the rice, thought for a while, then peeled off the quilt, and hugged her into her arms.
The familiar temperature made his body warm up gradually, and the warm medicine fragrance filled his nose, and Shen Guyuan finally relaxed his stern face.
It's not like he took advantage of it, she ran up and fell asleep by herself, and he didn't force her!Seriously stating this fact in his heart, Third Prince Shen brazenly rubbed the neck of the person in his arms.
"Tomorrow is the big wedding." In the prime minister's mansion, Yu Youwei sat in front of the dressing table, too excited to fall asleep: "Qinglan, are you ready for everything?"
"Return to master, I'm ready." Qing Lan said with a smile: "My lord really loves me so much, even if Si Ming said that the characters are not compatible, my lord will still marry you."
"Hmph, men just have to hang on. Look, how fast is the wedding date that I couldn't even ask for before?" Yu Youwei raised her chin proudly.
However, it is settled, she will not forget the humiliation of her last wedding.With the fish in Ningchi, there might be something wrong this time.So she has arranged a lot of manpower and ambushes in advance, and if there is any change in Ningchiyu, she will take it down immediately.
She was well prepared, she just waited to see Ning Chiyu's grief-stricken face!
However, when they got married the next day, everything seemed normal.Yu Youwei got on the sedan chair, and went all the way to the Palace of Mercy in a low-key manner, and entered the auditorium without any formality.
"Where's the Ningchi murloc?" She asked Qinglan softly.
Qinglan said awkwardly: "Master, not many people came today, and I didn't see Ningchi Yu."
The marriage that violated Si Ming, and the embarrassing experience last time, naturally it is impossible to make a big deal, with the prime minister's permission, Shen Qihuai arranged the wedding very simply.
Yu Youwei was very dissatisfied, but there was no turning back.
Forget it, she thought, as long as she could marry into the Prince of Mercy's Palace, that would be an enviable thing.As for the others, we can discuss them later.
However, on the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Shen Qihuai was so drunk that he climbed onto the bed and hugged her and shouted: "Chi Yu..."
Yu Youwei was dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, Chi Yu..." Shen Qihuai hugged her hard: "I'm sorry for you..."
Unconsciously murmured, the bride who was dressed in joy was struck by lightning.
……
"There is such a thing as retribution." Chi Yu sat on the railing of the stone bridge dangling his legs, looking at the moon in the lake below: "It's just watching the morning and evening."
Shen Zhibai next to him smiled lowly: "If you don't do anything, the retribution will not fall on the bad guys."
"I know." There was some cunning in his eyes, and Chi Yu blinked at him: "So I beg a few uncles to get Shen Qihuai drunk!"
"What's wrong with getting drunk?" Shen Zhibai was puzzled.
Chi Yu smirked twice: "Shen Qihuai is easy to speak his mind when he's drunk, and Yu Youwei definitely doesn't want to hear his mind."
Shen Zhibai couldn't help applauding: "This trick is really brilliant."
"Excellent award." Chi Yu smiled and said, "They both owe me, so it's not too much for me to ask for some interest?"
"Not too much." Shen Zhibai looked at her and said, "Even if you let them go to hell, it's not too much."
Smiling and looking down, Chi Yu said: "I originally wanted them to go to hell, but now I don't think it's necessary. I have my own life to think about."
"In your days..." Shen Zhibai swallowed, and said cautiously: "Can you have one more me?"
Ok?Chi Yu didn't hear it very clearly, and looked at him suspiciously: "What did you say?"
Seeing her clear eyes, Shen Zhibai was stunned, unable to say a second time, he could only turn his head to look at the moon embarrassingly: "I said... the moon is so beautiful."
Strangely, Chi Yu curled his lips and continued to look at the moon while shaking his legs.
When returning home late, Chi Yu was afraid of being scolded, so he tiptoed towards the main house, only to find that the house was lit.
Master hasn't slept yet?Chi Yu was taken aback, and wanted to push the door to go in, but with a playful heart, instead of going through the main door, he sneaked to the window, intending to scare his master!
However, Chi Yu was dumbfounded when he stuck his head out and looked into the window.
Red silk threads flew all over the room, and Shen Guyuan stood in the center alone, with white hair flying in the air, and a red robe, as if he was concentrating on something.
Startled, Chi Yu quickly covered his mouth and nose, and looked to the other side.
Two thin sheets of paper with three words written on each, the red thread was wrapped around them, the paper fell to the ground, and the words actually floated in the air!
witchcraft? !
Just about to look again, her arms suddenly tightened, and Chi Yu turned her head in panic, only to see Madam Zheng shaking her head kindly at her, and dragging her to her room.
When the door closed, Chi Yu's eyes widened, unable to recover for a long time.
"Miss, don't you have anything you want to ask?" Madam Zheng said with a smile.
(End of this chapter)
Chi Yu walked bouncingly, and said with a smile: "Before, there were some old grievances in my heart that I couldn't get rid of, so I didn't care about anything else."
"Oh?" Shen Zhibai asked: "They're gone now?"
"It's not all gone." Chi Yu shrugged: "But it's been a lot easier. Master has helped me a lot. Now I feel that even if one day I get my wish, I can continue to live well."
Shen Zhibai was startled, his brows furrowed.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou." Chi Yu looked at the temple ahead, and said with a smile: "I will never have those bad thoughts in the future."
In the past, Shen Qihuai was the only one in her life, and Shen Qihuai didn't want her anymore, so she felt that she had nothing to love in life except revenge.However, after these two months with Master, she suddenly felt that life still has a lot of fun. She can line up to buy the famous sugar figurines in the capital, go to the endless wheat fields in autumn, hide in the house and crack sunflower seeds, or accompany Master Go where he wants to go.
Thinking that there are still many, many things that have not been done, she wished that her life would be longer. How could she be willing to die?
Taking a deep look at him, Shen Zhibai sighed: "Uncle San Huang is indeed very kind to you."
"Yes." Seeing the place where the lottery was asked, Chi Yu said, "So today, let's ask for a lottery for Master as well."
"Hey..." Shen Zhibai wanted to stop her, but Chi Yu ran faster than a rabbit, got into the crowd in the blink of an eye, and got the begging cone.
But she never asked, and she didn't know how to ask.Kneeling on the futon with the lottery tube in hand, Chi Yu looked sideways at the other ladies who came to ask for a lottery, and then followed suit decently.
"Heavenly spirits and earthly spirits..."
Shen Zhibai who was standing behind burst out laughing with a "puchi", raised his sleeves to cover his lips, staring in his eyes, and said rather funnyly: "How can you ask for such a thing?"
"Aren't they all like this?" Chi Yu turned around in confusion, pointed at the girl next to her who was waving a lottery and muttering words.
Shen Zhibai squatted beside her, and whispered helplessly: "What people read is to ask Yue Lao to bless me to have a good marriage. What is your spirit today?"
That's it, Chi Yu nodded, knelt down again, and glanced at the Yuelao stone statue above.
This temple is new, but the stone statues seem to have been brought in from other places. They are mottled in color, kind-hearted, with neatly tied black hair. They are dressed in a red robe with sleeves folded up, holding a long red thread in their hands. It's very clever.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes.
Yuelao, Yuelao, I asked for the wrong marriage talisman last time, and my whole body was burned, and my heart ached.Come again this time to beg, don't trick me again!
"Crack!" A bamboo stick fell down.
Chi Yu opened his eyes, happily picked up the bamboo stick and squeezed it in his hand, then continued to close his eyes and whispered: "There is a teacher in the family, the year of the weak crown is too early, and I haven't got a good match yet, please give me another stick."
When the bamboo sticks fell to the ground, Chi Yu instantly forgot that there was a little lord next to him, and went to find the signer with the two bamboo sticks in his arms.
Shen Zhibai stretched out his hand to call her, but he couldn't bear to see her bouncing around so happily.With a low laugh, she looked at the bamboo stick tube she had put on the ground, picked it up and knelt down on the futon.
His marriage appeared early in the morning, but it has always been difficult. Now it is not absolutely impossible for that person to return to his original identity.
"Crack." A sign came out, and it fell on the ground with a crisp sound. Shen Zhibai smiled and opened his eyes to take it, and looked down, the smile on his face froze instantly.
"It says 'the marriage in the previous life is in this life, but the branches are born early. There is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the lover survives in danger." The white-bearded lottery interpreter shook his head and read, glanced at Chiyu, and stretched out his hand to Chiyu: "Chenghui , sign for thirty cents a piece."
"Oh!" Chi Yu honestly took out his purse and gave him sixty coins, then blinked his eyes expectantly, waiting for him to continue.
White Beard took the money, and his mouth was sharp in an instant: "Girl, you met the wrong person, and there are many problems, but there is no danger, your lover has appeared!"
"Really?" Chi Yu asked excitedly, "Who is it?"
White Beard looked at her inexplicably: "How does this little old man know? It's not written on the signature, it just says that your lover will probably appear in a dangerous situation."
Danger?Chi Yu nodded half-understanding, and quickly handed over the other: "This is a man's, I begged for him. Can you see it?"
The white beard took it calmly, ready to read it confidently, but when he saw the signature, the beard trembled.
"What's wrong?" Chi Yu stretched out his head and said with concern: "Don't you know these words? Still can't read clearly? Let me read it for you..."
"No need!" Whitebeard hurriedly protected the signature, swallowed, looked at Chi Yu tremblingly, took out the sixty Wen that he had just accepted from her, and stuffed it back into her hand: "This The little old man can't understand the root signature, and the money will be returned to you."
"Hey..." Chi Yu was puzzled: "Why can't you solve it?"
"Little old man still has something to do." White Beard stood up tremblingly, holding the bamboo stick and ran away: "There is still something to do! There are so many things to do! Farewell, farewell!"
After finishing speaking, he jumped ten feet away with a "swoosh", and his steps were so vigorous that he didn't look like an elderly person at all. Chi Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.
No one released the lottery, she turned her head and wanted to leave, but saw Shen Zhibai standing not far behind holding the lottery with a dignified expression.
"Young Lord!" Only then did he realize that he had forgotten about him, Chi Yu ran over guiltily, and gestured: "The person who solved the sign couldn't understand it and ran away. I'm afraid your sign is also..."
"It's okay." With a forced smile, Shen Zhibai said: "Let's go and see the plum blossoms again."
"Okay." Chi Yu nodded, and happily walked towards the Merlin.
Shen Zhibai looked at her back, let out a low laugh, and threw out the bamboo stick in his hand gracefully.
On the red and white stick, the side where the sign should be written is empty, without a single word.
The cold wind is bitter, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is overflowing.
Shen Guyuan sat on the bed with a stern face, wrapped in a quilt, squinting at the sky outside the window, his whole body was filled with a cool breath.
Madam Zheng came in with the dinner, and said with a smile: "Master, Chiyu girl and the young master are probably late to play, so you can eat the dinner first."
Shen Guyuan didn't say anything.
The corners of Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and she sighed deliberately: "This is not the dinner of Chiyu girl, it's not very delicious, why don't you wait a little longer, master?"
"No need." Shen Guyuan let go of the quilt and got out of bed: "I'll eat alone."
Madam Zheng was a little surprised, she set the bowls and chopsticks for him, and said jokingly: "In the past, Chiyu girl was not around, so you couldn't even eat?"
"What nonsense?" Shen Guyuan frowned, and looked at her impatiently: "Have you forgotten what I'm here for?"
"I haven't forgotten." Madam Zheng bowed her knees: "This servant thought the master had forgotten."
"I don't." Pursing his lips slightly, Shen Guyuan picked up the chopsticks.
He will never forget what he should do, and he will never be consumed too much by Ning Chiyu.
Absolutely not!
As night fell, Chi Yu happily returned to the palace, and as soon as he entered the door, his eyes brightened and he said: "Master, I saw the beautiful Yuelao Temple!"
Shen Guyuan looked at the memorial in his hand without raising his head: "Really? How beautiful?"
"I'll show you!" Chi Yu was so excited, he turned around and hugged Jiao Weiqin out.
Shen Guyuan still didn't raise his head, cursing in his heart that this girl has no brains, how beautiful she is, just tell me how beautiful she is, what are you doing holding the piano?
However, when the first sound sounded, he froze.
Together with the flat tone, it is clear and fragrant. It seems that there is a flat road in front of you, and the roadside is full of plum blossoms.The sound of the piano is melodious, and the fragrance of flowers floats in from outside the car, which is refreshing.
He looked up.
With a smile on her face, Chi Yu skillfully told him the beautiful scenery she saw with the sound of the piano. There are towering temples with clanging sounds; there is also an endless plum forest, which is quiet and moving.Where the sound of the piano turns, there is a small bridge and flowing water. On the bluestone slab behind the temple, the clear spring water is gurgling.Hopeful boys and girls hold bamboo tubes in their hands, praying for their marriage.When the bell in the distance rang, it seemed like the answer of the moon in the sky, echoing in the temple for a long time.
A branch of plum blossoms crosses the red tiles and blooms just right in front of people's eyes.
At the end of the song, Chi Yu looked at his master a little apprehensively and expectantly.
She has been secretly practicing the piano without letting him find out. Now that she can finally use the piano to describe the scenery, will he praise himself?
Shen Guyuan pinched the notebook, and finally moved, as if he just came back to his senses.But when he opened his mouth, he said flatly, "I see."
With a broken face, Chi Yu moved to his side unhappily: "Is that just one sentence?"
"What else do you want to say?" Shen Guyuan gave her a white look: "It's getting late, go to bed earlier."
With a flat mouth, Chi Yu turned to wash up, and said angrily: "It's not tiring to keep a straight face all day long, play the piano for him with good intentions, and don't even give him a compliment, it's inhuman..."
"You can read it louder." The person behind said grimly: "Anyway, I can hear you."
With a numb scalp, Chi Yu laughed dryly and squeezed his mouth.
Going to bed, Shen Guyuan didn't hug her like usual, only said: "There is something I forgot to tell you."
"What?" Chi Yu held the quilt and opened her innocent eyes.
"Despite Si Ming's objection, Shen Qihuai wants to marry Yu Youwei." Shen Guyuan said indifferently: "We keep the wedding simple, and I just ask Yu Youwei to pass right away."
"That's it." Chi Yu tilted his head, feeling that he was not as excited as he imagined: "If they want to succeed, they will succeed."
"The news that you are still alive has already spread in the capital, and they are married, so the rumors outside must not be pleasant." Shen Guyuan said: "You should think about it."
"What do you want to do or not?" Chi Yu smiled wryly, "I can't help it."
Shen Guyuan closed his eyes: "There are ways, it depends on whether you are willing or not."
"Huh?" Chi Yu propped himself up curiously and lay on his chest: "What way?"
Reaching out to brush her off, Shen Guyuan said: "You get married first, and their marriage will not affect you."
Slightly taken aback, Chi Yu looked at him, and suddenly blushed a little: "This... this..."
"Shen Zhibai has liked you for a long time. If you are willing, he will definitely not object." Without looking at her, Shen Guyuan's voice was cold: "If you marry him, you will definitely not suffer."
The face that was still red just now turned pale in an instant, and Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly: "Who are you marrying?"
"Shen Zhibai." Shen Guyuan tilted his head, half-opened his eyes: "Don't you like him too?"
Panicked, Chi Yu sat up, a little at a loss: "Marry...marry the young master? But I..."
Looking down at her body with only her bellyband on, she couldn't laugh or cry: "I am like Master, how can I still get married?"
"What's the point?" Shen Guyuan said, "You just helped me keep warm, and you didn't do anything else."
"Didn't do anything else?" Chi Yu stared: "Then last time at the Palace of Mercy..."
"I lied to you." Shen Guyuan said, "I just wanted to scare you, nothing happened between you and me."
With a chill in his heart, the cold reached his limbs, Chi Yu sat on the bed blankly and looked at the man in front of him, feeling that the house that was finally rebuilt on the ruins collapsed again in an instant.
What is this?If she and him are like this, can it be considered that nothing happened?
Or is it that in his opinion, as long as she doesn't perform Zhou Gong's rituals, then she is not his person?
"Don't react like that." Shen Guyuan frowned, "It's as if I'm bullying you."
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Chi Yu burst into tears. Fortunately, there was no light in the room, so no one must be able to see it.
"Master didn't bully me." After calming down, Chi Yu said in a steady tone: "I was thinking too much, I thought..."
Thinking that being able to share the same bed like this, there must be a place for her in Master's heart.
However, this was a bigger joke than Shen Qihuai's liking for her, it made her want to cry.Why do you become passionate about yourself for no reason?What would a man like my master think of her?He hugged her to sleep just because she was warm, and took off his clothes just because the heat transfer was faster. For so long, he has never had the slightest desire to be with her.
Passionate is always disturbed by ruthless...
Shaking his head, Chi Yu propped himself up and got out of bed, goosebumps all over his body, tears streaming down his face, if the lights were on, he must be in a mess.Fortunately, it was pitch black all around, so she held back her sobs and pretended to be nonchalant: "I promised Master, if Master helps me, I will find a good man to marry. Since Master thinks that the young master is a good man, then everything is up to Master." call the shots."
Shen Guyuan didn't say a word, only his white hair shone slightly in the darkness.
Chi Yu was shivering from the cold, and couldn't help bumping his teeth up and down. He hugged his arms desperately to hold back his voice, and forced a smile: "That disciple went to sleep on the soft couch first."
She didn't receive a response, and she didn't intend to wait any longer. She hugged the quilt and wrapped herself up on the soft couch, tightly closing her eyes.
It's because she's thinking too much, it's because she's being sentimental, she shouldn't have thought that she shouldn't have it in the first place, isn't it painful enough to suffer from Shen Qihuai?This heart, how can it move around.
It must be that the master was too kind to her before, so she was a little dizzy, and she started thinking about him.Even if people like to hug her to sleep, it's only because she can warm the bed.
Comforting himself with one sentence, Chi Yu let out a long breath, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Starting tomorrow, just pretend nothing happened and live your life well.
So, the next day, Chi Yu got up early, took a look at the still bed inside, washed up, and went out holding the piano.
"Morning Chiyu." Madam Zheng greeted her as she saw her holding the breakfast.
"Morning mother." Chi Yu grinned, "I'm going out to practice the piano!"
It swept over like a gust of wind, and Madam Zheng was dumbfounded: "Hey, breakfast..."
"No need!"
Looking at her back suspiciously, Madam Zheng shook her head and stepped into the room, only to see that Shen Guyuan on the bed had clearly opened her eyes.
"Master?" Madam Zheng raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you get up when you're awake?"
With a dark face, Shen Guyuan said: "Get up later."
Ok?Madam Zheng felt something was wrong, she stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, and was startled: "Why is it so cold again?!"
I slept with Chi Yu recently, didn't I get up warm every day?Today is good, there is frost on the eyebrows!
Glaring at her impatiently, Shen Guyuan said: "Don't worry about it, boil some hot water, and I'll take a bath."
Taking a deep look at him, Madam Zheng shook her head, turned around and went out to prepare.
When Chi Yu came back from piano practice, he had returned to normal. When he saw Shen Guyuan, he acted as if nothing had happened, ran over and said with a smile, "Master, I just heard from someone outside that the wedding of the Prince of Mercy Palace will be arranged here. At the end of the month, if you count the days, there are only five days left!"
Glancing at her, Shen Guyuan pursed his lips: "So what's the matter?"
"In five days, it's too late for Najib to ask the ceremony, so the marriage with the young master..." Chi Yu smiled: "Should we think about it in the long run?"
His fingers froze slightly, and he continued flipping through the memorial, Shen Guyuan nodded: "Yes."
Chi Yu laughed and sat down next to him: "Besides, I haven't communicated with the young master enough, and it would be quite abrupt for Master to be a matchmaker rashly. Right now is the critical moment of turmoil in the court, so why don't you just wait a few more minutes?" A month, anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
"It's up to you." Shen Guyuan's expression eased, and he curled his lips and said, "Anyway, it's not me that the people outside are pointing at."
The charcoal fire in the room was low, so Chi Yu ran over to add charcoal, then stuffed Mrs. Tang into his hand, then clapped his hands, and ran to sit down on the soft couch in peace of mind.
In the past, she would definitely sit in his arms obediently, cuddling him warmly like a cat, but now... probably she has realized that she doesn't get close to him anymore.
Shen Guyuan's eyes darkened, staring at the folder in his hand without saying a word.
"Third Prince!" Someone shouted outside, Shen Guyuan raised his head, and saw Zhao Yinma rushing in wearing a suit of armor, his face was excited and worried: "There is a fight in the palace! There is a fight!"
Chi Yu was startled, and immediately jumped off the soft couch: "Who is fighting with whom?"
"Bachelor Li and Zhong Wushen fought directly in front of the young emperor!" Zhao Yinma slapped the table boldly: "I was ordered by the emperor to put both of them in the prison, thinking Anyway, it came out, just in time to report a letter."
"It's so lively." Shen Guyuan chuckled lightly: "Li Zhixiao is not a person who will let it go, but Zhong Wushen is not a soft persimmon either."
"That's not it!" Zhao Yinma couldn't help gesticulating: "Master Li hit such a big hole on Master Zhong's head with a jade card! It's so big! Master Zhong is not easy to provoke, so fight back immediately and kill Master Li!" Pushed and hit the stone pillar, he didn't recover for a long time. The young emperor cried in fright on the spot, Prince Xiao was furious, and directly locked the two of them together, and the doctor didn't let him."
Chi Yu was speechless: "Do you dare to fight in front of the emperor?"
"Not only beating, but also scolding." Zhao Yinma stared and said: "Master Li said that he had written a memorial with the cabinet to impeach the third minister for corruption, but Master Zhong retorted and called him a traitor, which made Master Li angry. The court accused him of embezzling the grain and silver of the Autumn Harvest treasury, and said that if he could not find out, he would voluntarily dismiss him!"
Chi Yu clapped his hands, and he could basically imagine Shen Qihuai's expression next to him when he said those words.
Originally, he still wanted to get along with Si Ni, but now he can only choose one of these two people, and he can't have both.This is undoubtedly bad news for Shen Qihuai.
"Lord Li definitely doesn't need to be dismissed." Shen Guyuan said indifferently: "He can find out."
"Why?" Chi Yu and Zhao Yinma asked together.
Glancing at them with the expression of looking at a fool, Shen Guyuan turned his thin lips, and spit out four words: "Take the rudder according to the wind."
Shen Qihuai was able to get along like a fish in water in the officialdom at a young age, that was due to his own ability.The move of "seeing the wind to steer the rudder" is a basic skill, so he naturally uses it proficiently.
In the current situation, Li Zhixiao has won half of him, Zhong Wushen is his old department, one is alive and well, and the other is in crisis.As smart as Shen Qihuai, he knows whose side he should be on without even thinking about it.It's just that the superficial effort has to be done well, otherwise it's easy to capsize.
"The cabinet papers have been handed in." In the prison, Shen Qihuai stood in front of Zhong Wushen, and said with a headache: "I don't know why Li Zhixiao is targeting you like this, and I will not let you go unless I bite you to death, but this king I have made all the preparations, and I will definitely get you out and get rid of your crime."
"My lord." Zhong Wushen was very worried: "Looking at Li Zhixiao's attitude, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of this crime so easily."
"Then what should we do?" Shen Qihuai asked him in turn.
Zhong Wushen sighed, thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and cupped his hands: "My lord will do his best, if we really can't escape this catastrophe, let's find a way."
"Okay." Shen Qihuai agreed to him sincerely.
But as soon as he turned around, he went to Li's mansion.Li Zhixiao has been released at home, Shen Qihuai stepped forward and said straight to the point: "My lord wants to get rid of Zhong Wushen, this king has a way."
This move of "speaking good things on both sides, neither side will offend" is very skillful. Shen Qihuai is calm and unhurried, and with his superb acting skills and brilliant tongue, he has won unanimous praise from both Li Zhong and Li Zhong.
So, a few days later, Zhong Wushen was inexplicably convicted by iron-like evidence, and all his property was confiscated.
"My lord's guess is really right." Li Zhixiao put down the tea in his hand, looked at Shen Guyuan opposite him: "My sympathy for my lord really gave up on Zhong Wushen."
Shen Guyuan embraced Mrs. Tang, and said calmly: "His thoughts are not difficult to guess, but adults' thoughts are more difficult to guess than him."
"Oh?" Li Zhixiao smiled, "What's wrong with the old man's mind?"
"Now the government and the opposition are divided into two factions, Shen Qihuai's faction is very powerful, and all the officials in the court have moved closer to him. He has already thrown out enough sincere invitations to the lord, why did the lord still come to my benevolent palace?"
Hearing this, Li Zhixiao had a smile in his eyes, took a sip of tea, and let out a mouthful of mist: "Do you have to ask why? My father taught me that the descendants of the Li family should be loyal to the Shen royal family and not rebel. "
He has always listened to his father's words the most, but Shen Qihuai doesn't think so, in his world, all integrity and obsession can be bought with money.
Since he doesn't think so, it doesn't matter if he cooperates.
Shen Guyuan laughed: "Your Excellency is really a rare and beautiful person in troubled times."
"Don't dare to do it." Li Zhixiao cupped his hands: "This old man does things, but only with his heart."
With Li Zhixiao secretly helping each other, the orthodox and unified faction of the royal family gradually gained momentum. The two sides confronted each other.Shen Guyuan didn't step out of the house, but every day someone came to tell him what happened in the court, and the four princes also came every few days.
Chi Yu squatted in a far corner and watched from a distance, and saw Shen Guyuan surrounded by the crowd, with particularly bright white hair, and he glanced towards her inadvertently, his beautiful eyes shining brightly.
With a "boom" in his heart, Chi Yu quickly lowered his head.
"What are you doing hiding here?" There was a pair of white brocade boots parked beside her, Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Zhibai looking at her curiously.
"Hey." Chi Yu stretched out his paw, "Young Master, I'm feeding the cat."
Luo Bai and Liu Hua meowed and buried their heads in the bowl to eat, not caring at all that a stranger approached.
Squatting down with her, the young master smiled and said: "It's rare for a girl to like to keep this kind of little wild cat at home. Does the emperor love clean people so much, so he doesn't dislike him?"
"They are very obedient, and basically won't enter the main house." Chi Yu reached out and hugged Luo Bai and said, "It's just a little cold recently, and I like to nest on the window outside the main house, where it's warm."
Shen Zhibai laughed, and stretched out his hand to touch Luo Bai, but Luo Bai didn't know if he didn't eat enough or something, he struggled twice, his soft body broke away from Chi Yu's grip, and ran away meowing away.
Liuhua took a look, quickly ate two more bites, and then ran with it.
"Sorry." Chi Yu shrugged: "These two little guys have a weird temper."
"It doesn't matter." Shen Zhibai smiled and said, "Pity the big wedding at the palace in the future, do you want to go?"
The corner of Chi Yu's mouth twitched: "What am I going to do? Watch the fun?"
Isn't that regarded as a fun to watch?
"That's right." Shen Zhibai smiled: "Then, do you want to go out with me?"
go again?Chi Yu really wanted to refuse, but on second thought, her master wanted to match the two of them together. In that case, at least she had to cultivate a relationship, otherwise it would be embarrassing. In her eyes, Shen Zhibai was half an older brother. The kind that can't be changed.
"it is good."
A group of princes in the room were talking about business, but when they turned their heads, they saw Shen Guyuan distracted, staring coldly at the vase at the door, wondering what he was thinking.
"Guyuan!" Prince Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you listening to my king?"
"Huh?" Shen Guyuan frowned, "What did you say?"
Prince Zhong sighed, and repeated again: "The year-end memorial ceremony is coming, and General Ji will also return to the court. We plan to mention the matter of taking back the military power in the ancestral temple."
The great general Ji Yadong led the army to go out, and he has already returned victoriously, and no troops have ever returned to the court.Now that the mid-year sacrifice is approaching, according to the rules, he has to surrender his military power no matter what.It's just that this matter has to be done beautifully, otherwise it's easy to get sidetracked.
"The right to withdraw troops is a right." Shen Guyuan said: "You guys can figure it out."
Aware of his absent-mindedness, several princes murmured together: "What's the matter?"
"I don't know, it may be because the weather is too cold. I heard people say that Guyuan is afraid of the cold."
"That's not true. I think he looks so out of his mind, it seems that he has encountered some emotional trouble." Prince Jing said with experience: "My family Zhibai often has this expression."
Are you talking about emotional troubles... Several people looked out from the direction of the door in unison.
In the haystack in the corner outside, Ning Chiyu was talking to Shen Zhibai, with a silly expression on his face, and he didn't look at them at all.
Shen Guyuan stood up impatiently: "Have you finished talking? After you finish talking, everyone should leave first, it's getting late."
"Hey..." Prince Xiao grabbed the door frame and looked back at him: "Guyuan, is it time for you to become a concubine?"
Shen Guyuan sneered: "It's very early, don't worry about me, it's the right thing to do when Mr. Huang's heir comes out."
Prince Xiao let go of his hand embarrassingly, and was pushed out.
Prince Jing also grabbed the door frame immediately, and said seriously: "Gu Yuan, I have a son, I have to remind you, you have to give birth as soon as possible!"
"You'd better worry about your own child first." Shen Guyuan narrowed his eyes: "He's not young anymore."
Speaking of this, Prince Jing used his feet to hook the doorframe together: "Zhibai seems to have a sweetheart, but he just refuses to tell this king, so Yuan, you have a good relationship with him, do you have time to help me set a routine? "
"It's easy to say." Shen Guyuan said: "Just wait and drink your daughter-in-law's tea."
"So fast? Who is it? Hey..."
Pushing away these chattering fat princes, Shen Guyuan closed the door and ground his teeth.
"Dong dong dong——" the door behind was knocked again, Shen Guyuan opened it impatiently, and roared: "Shut up!"
Chi Yu was taken aback by the roar, and blinked at him blankly.
Seeing that it was her, Shen Guyuan pursed his lips, and let the door open to let her in.
"Why is Master so angry?" Chi Yu said with a smile, "Scared me."
"Shen Zhibai is leaving too?" Shen Guyuan asked in a muffled voice.
Nodding his head, Chi Yu said: "Let's go with Prince Jing, Mother Zheng and Su Ming are cleaning up the yard together."
"En." Shen Guyuan nodded, and had nothing else to say.Chi Yu looked at his back, opened his mouth, and chose to remain silent.
At night, when Chi Yu was sleeping on a soft couch, he heard the sound of tossing and turning on the bed.
"Can't master fall asleep?" She couldn't help asking.
The person on the bed responded with a muffled sound.
Wrapped in the quilt and getting out of bed, Chi Yu knelt down beside his bed and said with a smile, "That's just right, shall I tell you a story?"
Shen Guyuan was so cold that he was in a bad mood and asked, "What story?"
"A long time ago, there was a story about a man who couldn't bear the tyranny of a tyrant and led his soldiers to rebel." Chi Yu sat down tightly wrapped in the quilt, and said softly, "The rebel in the rumor is very powerful. A group of soldiers broke into the palace and cut off the head of the tyrant, saving the suffering and suffering common people in the world."
Curling his lips, Shen Guyuan said, "The Emperor Shen's Taizu?"
"Master is so smart!" Chi Yu said with a chuckle, "I said before that I would tell you the story of Emperor Taizu, and it will be the year-end memorial service soon. It is best that you have an idea in mind."
"Huh." Shen Guyuan was a little disdainful: "Isn't it just the monarch who founded the dynasty? Every dynasty has it. As for singing like this?"
"Emperor Taizu's credit does not lie in the founding of the country, but in that he is very considerate of the people." Chi Yu said: "He set up the notice drums at the gates of various government offices, so that the people will sound the drums if they have a grievance. Those who dare to shirk. They also cut taxes and built canals to benefit the people. During his rule, the whole country prospered and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"But he didn't end well." Chi Yu wrinkled his nose: "I heard from my concubine that the Emperor Taizu died in battle. He didn't have to die, but his beloved concubine was assassinated by the enemy country, and he felt that life was hopeless." Lian died in the snow after winning the last battle."
"Still a lover?" Shen Guyuan sneered: "I can't live without a woman. Is this kind of king worthy of their praise?"
Chi Yu puffed out dissatisfied: "Emperor Taizu is very great, without him, we would all have to be born in a country where the people are struggling to survive!"
"The people nowadays don't live and work in peace." Shen Guyuan curled his lips: "Everywhere is a mess."
Discouraged, Chi Yu said helplessly: "What can I do? How many people can take care of the common people in such a scene in the court? They are all busy fighting for power."
Especially Shen Qihuai, playing with power and human life, has no intention of thinking about the common people at all.
Shen Guyuan fell silent, and Chi Yu continued to babble about the heroic deeds of Emperor Taizu.
Half an hour later, the person beside the bed fell asleep sitting up.
Shen Guyuan finally took out the cotton balls stuffed in her ears, looked at her chick pecking at the rice, thought for a while, then peeled off the quilt, and hugged her into her arms.
The familiar temperature made his body warm up gradually, and the warm medicine fragrance filled his nose, and Shen Guyuan finally relaxed his stern face.
It's not like he took advantage of it, she ran up and fell asleep by herself, and he didn't force her!Seriously stating this fact in his heart, Third Prince Shen brazenly rubbed the neck of the person in his arms.
"Tomorrow is the big wedding." In the prime minister's mansion, Yu Youwei sat in front of the dressing table, too excited to fall asleep: "Qinglan, are you ready for everything?"
"Return to master, I'm ready." Qing Lan said with a smile: "My lord really loves me so much, even if Si Ming said that the characters are not compatible, my lord will still marry you."
"Hmph, men just have to hang on. Look, how fast is the wedding date that I couldn't even ask for before?" Yu Youwei raised her chin proudly.
However, it is settled, she will not forget the humiliation of her last wedding.With the fish in Ningchi, there might be something wrong this time.So she has arranged a lot of manpower and ambushes in advance, and if there is any change in Ningchiyu, she will take it down immediately.
She was well prepared, she just waited to see Ning Chiyu's grief-stricken face!
However, when they got married the next day, everything seemed normal.Yu Youwei got on the sedan chair, and went all the way to the Palace of Mercy in a low-key manner, and entered the auditorium without any formality.
"Where's the Ningchi murloc?" She asked Qinglan softly.
Qinglan said awkwardly: "Master, not many people came today, and I didn't see Ningchi Yu."
The marriage that violated Si Ming, and the embarrassing experience last time, naturally it is impossible to make a big deal, with the prime minister's permission, Shen Qihuai arranged the wedding very simply.
Yu Youwei was very dissatisfied, but there was no turning back.
Forget it, she thought, as long as she could marry into the Prince of Mercy's Palace, that would be an enviable thing.As for the others, we can discuss them later.
However, on the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Shen Qihuai was so drunk that he climbed onto the bed and hugged her and shouted: "Chi Yu..."
Yu Youwei was dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, Chi Yu..." Shen Qihuai hugged her hard: "I'm sorry for you..."
Unconsciously murmured, the bride who was dressed in joy was struck by lightning.
……
"There is such a thing as retribution." Chi Yu sat on the railing of the stone bridge dangling his legs, looking at the moon in the lake below: "It's just watching the morning and evening."
Shen Zhibai next to him smiled lowly: "If you don't do anything, the retribution will not fall on the bad guys."
"I know." There was some cunning in his eyes, and Chi Yu blinked at him: "So I beg a few uncles to get Shen Qihuai drunk!"
"What's wrong with getting drunk?" Shen Zhibai was puzzled.
Chi Yu smirked twice: "Shen Qihuai is easy to speak his mind when he's drunk, and Yu Youwei definitely doesn't want to hear his mind."
Shen Zhibai couldn't help applauding: "This trick is really brilliant."
"Excellent award." Chi Yu smiled and said, "They both owe me, so it's not too much for me to ask for some interest?"
"Not too much." Shen Zhibai looked at her and said, "Even if you let them go to hell, it's not too much."
Smiling and looking down, Chi Yu said: "I originally wanted them to go to hell, but now I don't think it's necessary. I have my own life to think about."
"In your days..." Shen Zhibai swallowed, and said cautiously: "Can you have one more me?"
Ok?Chi Yu didn't hear it very clearly, and looked at him suspiciously: "What did you say?"
Seeing her clear eyes, Shen Zhibai was stunned, unable to say a second time, he could only turn his head to look at the moon embarrassingly: "I said... the moon is so beautiful."
Strangely, Chi Yu curled his lips and continued to look at the moon while shaking his legs.
When returning home late, Chi Yu was afraid of being scolded, so he tiptoed towards the main house, only to find that the house was lit.
Master hasn't slept yet?Chi Yu was taken aback, and wanted to push the door to go in, but with a playful heart, instead of going through the main door, he sneaked to the window, intending to scare his master!
However, Chi Yu was dumbfounded when he stuck his head out and looked into the window.
Red silk threads flew all over the room, and Shen Guyuan stood in the center alone, with white hair flying in the air, and a red robe, as if he was concentrating on something.
Startled, Chi Yu quickly covered his mouth and nose, and looked to the other side.
Two thin sheets of paper with three words written on each, the red thread was wrapped around them, the paper fell to the ground, and the words actually floated in the air!
witchcraft? !
Just about to look again, her arms suddenly tightened, and Chi Yu turned her head in panic, only to see Madam Zheng shaking her head kindly at her, and dragging her to her room.
When the door closed, Chi Yu's eyes widened, unable to recover for a long time.
"Miss, don't you have anything you want to ask?" Madam Zheng said with a smile.
