"Pit" you for three lives and three lives

Chapter 18

Ari stared blankly at the clear water in the pool for a while, then packed his things into his purse, got up and went back.

Coming out of Liuyu Pavilion, passing through a garden and a high wall, is a palace road.To the south of the road is the Qiandian where the emperor lived, to the north to Hualin Garden, to the east to the Empress Dowager's Palace, and to the west is the Xianyang Hall where the empress lived.

Entering the palace to have an audience, whether you are visiting the empress or the queen mother, this path is a must.Therefore, Ari didn't take it seriously when he often met someone.

It wasn't until the maid leading the way stopped in her tracks and saluted, "His Royal Highness Jin'an." Ari suddenly came back to his senses.

Without looking up, he just bowed his knees and saluted.Get out of the way.

There was no movement for a long time.

Ari was drunk, and after spending half a day fumigated by the hot spring, his face burned badly.After bending my knees for a long time, I felt a little weak.

He quietly raised his head to look, but Sima Yu caught his eyes, and quickly lowered his head again.

After a long time, Sima Yu coughed and said, "You...you get up."

Ari thanked the court lady, avoided his gaze, and quietly took a step back.

Sima Yu refused to leave for a long time, Ari felt that the days were like years, and he really didn't understand why he was fascinated by her. It took a while to remember - at this age, she and Zuo Jiasi are indistinguishable in appearance of.

She never expected that Sima Yu was more at a loss than she was - he thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a word that would strike up a conversation with Ahri in public without being too abrupt.

At this moment, seeing Ari's flushed face, tender and shy like new apricots in the drizzle, his mind became even more confused.How many eloquent teeth he used to have, but now he has stopped.

He only stammered: "You, you are here too."

Ari replied: "...Yes."

The voice lingered on his lips like honey, and it seemed sweet, and Sima Yu couldn't help but leaned closer to listen.

Ari took a step back indiscriminately, and said, "The empress is at the banquet. If Your Highness has no other orders, Ari will leave."

Sima Yu felt abrupt at this moment.Seeing that the maid who was close to the queen was still standing aside, although she was respectful at the moment, she would obviously break up with the queen later.On the other side, Wang Yan also stared so hard that his eyes were about to spit fire. Seeing that he was about to pounce on him and fight him, he felt a little embarrassed.

Originally, I was about to stretch out my hand to pull Ahli, but now I had no choice but to take it back, saying, "Uh... come here to play often."

Everyone: ...you thought it was a visit!

Ah Li heaved a sigh of relief, saluted and said: "Yes." Then said, "Your Highness Wanan."

Just when she turned around to leave, she heard the crisp sound of jade falling to the ground, ding ding dong dong, rolling down at her feet - it was Sima Yu who broke the tassel from the jade ringing around her waist.

Sima Yu didn't expect such a coincidence, and was ecstatic for a while.Looking eagerly at Ari.For the first time in my heart, I felt that those clumsy idiots in the Eastern Palace were still very cute, and they almost wanted to throw money and rewards.

The corners of Ah Li's eyes didn't turn sideways, so he avoided it - Sima Yu was with people, so he would naturally take care of him.She is the daughter of a foreign minister, and it is too late to avoid suspicion, so how can she approach her so courteously?

Sima Yu was indignant.

He was very wronged.He himself didn't know what was going on, but subconsciously felt that Ari would help him do these things.It seems that she has been taking care of her for a lifetime, and everything is considerate.At this moment, she was left out in the cold.

And it seemed that it wasn't the first time she was left out in the cold.

The attendants behind him had already rushed forward to help him tidy up. Sima Yu was upset, and waved his hand, "Go away!" Then he pointed at Ari and said, "Come back."

Ali stopped in his tracks.Sima Yu snatched Mingyu from the attendants and handed it over.Looking at her, he ordered: "You do it."

Seeing that the prince was messing around again, the maid at the side wanted to help Ari out of the siege, but Ari bowed her head silently and took Mingyu in her hand.

Her complexion was as usual, she did not have the slightest fear of facing the prince's prestige, nor did she feel wronged by being shouted at.Kneeling and tidying up for him, he is as peaceful as a elder sister treating a younger brother, and as elegant as a lady cooking tea.

Tao Sui on Mingyu has already opened the knot, and it can't be repaired for a while.Ari took out his newly woven one from his purse, compared the colors, and replaced it for him.The ten fingers turned and hooked, as beautiful as a flower filament blooming, and it was cleaned up after a while.

Then he got up and moved to the side, "What else does your Highness have to say?"

Sima Yu, however, seemed to be in a dream, only feeling a burning pain where Ahri touched.But dare not move.It only took a moment, and his legs were already stiff.Hearing Ari's voice, he took a deep breath.

"... Already, no more."

Ari saluted without making a sound, took the maid and left calmly.

For a moment, Sima Yu only felt that the birds were singing and the flowers were blooming, and the spring was coming early.Can fly lightly.He didn't even care about Wang Yan's biting eyes behind him.

He floated towards the Hualin Garden, intentionally shaking the Mingyu to make a crisp sound.The tassels flew into a mess, and he was afraid of damaging them, so he quickly smoothed them out with his hands carefully.

Just passed Xianyang Hall, suddenly saw a person flashing out from behind the grass and trees, with snow skin and gray eyes, taller than ordinary children.Seeing Sima Yu was not afraid, and he looked straight at him without avoiding it.

The guard behind Sima Yu naturally stepped forward to protect him, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Cui Chen, just came out of the Hualin Garden banquet and lost his way in the toilet." Cui Chen answered calmly, still looking at Sima Yu with interest, "Who is the opposite?"

Then someone told him that he was the prince.

Cui Chen's gray eyes narrowed immediately, and he actually laughed.He saluted and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

The gray eyes were originally looking more sinister, but he smiled unkindly, and he looked even more ulterior motives.Sima Yu didn't like it.

However, knowing that he is a son of a powerful family in the north, he is not rude.Already restrained her joyful thoughts, calmly and peacefully, she exchanged greetings with him.He tapped again and said, "This road is too lost."

Cui Chen didn't take it too seriously, "It's the palace in the south that is exquisite, and the trees and pavilions complement each other, making it dazzling. It's far away before you know it."

The two each smiled, knowing each other well - this person is not with them.I was too lazy to say anything, but my posture became more friendly and friendly, and we went to Hualin Garden together.

Hearing the sound of silk and bamboo in Hualin Garden from a distance, Cui Chen suddenly said, "That girl just now looks like Brother Xie Lian's fiancée."

Sima Yu's knuckles creaked and he stopped abruptly.After a while, he walked away again, and said with a smile: "Brother Cui admitted his mistake."

Cui Chen laughed, "It's a mistake." Pointing to the sparrows flying up from the treetops, he said with a smile, "The people below are going to be in trouble."

After a while, I saw the attendant standing under the tree sniffing his sleeve, and turned his head away from the distance, "Damn bird, I'm covered in bird droppings."

Xie Lian knew that Cui Chen was following him, so he purposely turned around.The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are scattered into a landscape, and often the scenery changes when you turn around. It is not as open and closed as the courtyards in the north of the Yangtze River.Cui Chen lost track of him in just a moment, and when he looked back, he was already lost.

Xie Lian stopped at a high place, ate some fruit, watched a joke, and drank a pot of tea leisurely.

Cui Chen didn't bother to look for him either, he walked around for a while and saw no one, so he followed the sun and headed south.

Xie Lian also let him go.

Now that he had finished eating the fruit, he was sitting idle on the rockery. He saw Sima Yu leading Cui Chen in from a distance, and he was not in a hurry.Just listening to the silk and bamboo during the banquet, holding a leaf, blowing at will.

The voice was mocking at first, and then rounded.Gradually get into tune, melodiously far away

For a time, there was a long wind and flowing water, and the sky was high and the clouds were surging.The young man's clothes are in the wind, he is free and lofty, and the grand scene and banquet are all off the mundane world, and he is no longer eye-catching.

Let Cui Chen and Wei Lang make trouble.Xie Lian happily thought that he would not cause such boring troubles.

——Wei Lang really made a fuss!

Of course it's not Wei Lang's fault... because Murong Jue was drunk.

Speaking of which, Murong Jue is also a famous figure in Beiyan.He is the grandson of Emperor Xianbei, nephew of famous general Murong Jun, and uncle of Emperor Yan.He has been a teacher of famous scholar Liu Zhongda since he was a child, and he is familiar with the classics of the Han people. He is good at poetry and Fu, and his behavior is very famous.He also has a lot of friends, and has a good reputation among the Qingqi gentry.At that time, when he said that he was going to send someone to Jiangdong, he knew that the messenger was none other than himself.

But he has a flaw, although he thinks it's a celebrity - he drinks alcohol.

Some people said on the table that he was not suitable to be an envoy because he was drunk and misunderstood.

Murong Jue has admired the style of the Southern Dynasties for a long time and wanted to see it for a long time.Seeing that someone dared to block his way, he was furious.If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be time to swear off drinking at this time.He is not.Instead, he directly dragged the person who impeached him to Emperor Yan, ordered someone to fetch a stone of wine, and started drinking it face to face.After drinking a stone of wine, his complexion did not change, his thinking was sharp, and his conversation was clear.He glanced contemptuously at the person and asked, "If you're not drunk, how can you make a mistake?"

Emperor Yan was finally relieved to let Murong Jue come.

There is indeed a legend about Murong Jue's intoxication—but he still doesn't know that there was a time traveler who came to this world 30 years ago.Not only did he abduct an emperor from the Sima family, but he also brought distilled wine to Jiangdong.

Drinking Erguotou like beer, one can imagine how drunk Murong Jue was.

But because he had never been drunk, no one knew what it would be like for him to become drunk, and the Beiyan Mission was unprepared.

I saw Murong Jue coming forward to toast Sima Yu in a clear and energetic manner, grabbed his wrist, and said: "Your Highness is divine, wise, unconstrained, but your nature is unreliable, and you can't tell the truth yourself. In the future, you must Seek what you don't want, and lose what you really love. I'm afraid I won't be able to cherish it in my life!"

Sima Yu: ...God damn it!
The whole house was shocked, and someone had to come out to smooth things over, but Murong Jue had lost interest in Sima Yu, and happily went to Xie Taifu with a glass of wine, "Tai Fu is a profound person, with a calm spiritual sense, and is a temple tool, enough to protect the country. It's a pity that Taifu is in the temple, and his heart is probably not between home and country? But you can't go back! Poor, lamentable, this life is lost!"

Xie Huan just smiled and said nothing.

After Murong Jue criticized the Grand Tutor, he went to Huanjing again.Walking around the banquet like a cloud of wind and clouds, telling fortunes with open praises and private criticisms, instantly offended everyone present all over the place.

Not even Cui Chen and Lu Xuan were spared.It is said that Cui Chen is "uncertain, and he is bound to stumble", and that Lu Xuan "has too many pets, and I am afraid that the backyard will be restless".

It's just an intentional smash.

When literati speak sour words, they sound elegant and reserved, but in reality they are so mean that they cannot be more mean, and there are traces of viciousness in the meanness.Everyone in the room wished they could pour wine on him to death, but his face flushed with excitement.

For a while, he walked around the banquet and returned to Sima Yu.Just as he was about to conclude his statement, he saw Wang Yan.

Wang Yan took it calmly.

Murong Jue stared at Wang Yan for a long time, and gradually showed an expression of displeasure, and asked, "Who is this?"

——He still has a first-line god, and he didn't count on the emperor's head.The emperor also felt very happy watching the excitement, and felt that although he was a master, he was really sharp.He appreciated his face very much, and said: "This is the eldest son of Wang Jiangting." He raised his eyebrows and smiled again, and said, "—that is the one you said was born at an untimely time, and worked hard all his life to marry someone else."

Murong Jue let out a "chi" laugh, "He's really a child who can't be picky. No matter how good his life is, he seeks benevolence. It's a pity that he is Wang Du's grandson—the descendant of a traitor."

All the people in the house turned pale, and immediately fell silent—Wang Du is actually Wang Yan’s cousin, but that’s not important, what’s important is that Wang Du was the first traitor after Nan Du.At that time, the rebellion chased the emperor and forced the emperor to bring all the officials to meet him.If he hadn't died early, he might have changed his dynasty.Even more blatant than Huan Buqing.Although the Wang family of Langya was not implicated by him and was promoted to a noble as usual, but when this public case is brought up, it can only be judged by others.

Wang Yan is a particularly loyal and upright person, and immediately blushes, feeling that he has no place to stand.

Seeing that he had stepped on Wang Yan, Murong Jue was full of ambition, and concluded: "Even the queen of the rebellious officials and thieves can stand in the court. His Majesty the Emperor is really broad-minded, and he doesn't care about employing people. Jiangnan is also full of celebrities."

——Wang Du and Huan Buqing are rebellious officials and thieves.It is true that the Wang family of Langya and the Huan family of Qiao Guo are still the famous families holding power.The reality is that the emperor is cheated like this, the emperor doesn't speak, what dare the courtiers say?So even though he was ridiculed by Murong Jue, the whole house was silent.

Only the emperor drank leisurely.

Wei Lang...Wei Lang actually thinks it's fun to watch idiots scolding idiots.

But it doesn't matter if you bully anyone, if you bully Wang Yan, it's either tolerable or unbearable.

Especially after he mentioned Wang Du and scolded Wang Yan as a rebellious minister and a traitor—the one Wei Lang respected the most in his life was none other than Uncle Ah Li.Unfortunately, Fourth Uncle Ari is the true descendant of the traitor, Wang Du's great-grandson, and the only surviving bloodline of Wang Du.

He immediately picked up a chicken head pot the size of a watermelon from his hand, threw it over, and people jumped out.Fortunately, Sima Yu had the foresight to order the guards to watch over him.The pot was also narrowly stopped.

Sima Yu glanced at his father.His father's face was calm and calm.

Take a look at Mrs. Xie.Mrs. Xie lowered her eyes and remained silent, equally calm.

Sima Yu took the wine glass and jug, got up and walked to Murong Jue, pouring wine, and said to him, "There are three sentences in the Central Plains, the first sentence is 'Brothers fight against the wall, and the outside is against their insults'. In times of national calamity, all my descendants, no matter how high or low they are born, will defend our country and fight against the enemy. Wang Du and Huan Buqing are both famous generals in our dynasty. They have made great achievements in resisting the barbarians and eradicating the rebellion. It is trusted by the world. It is the ability to hold power and order the government and the people. There is no doubt about this." He paused for a while, looking at Murong Jue, with contempt in his eyes. And punish them'. When Wang Du and Huan Buqing were in power, they didn't think about expelling the barbarians and restoring the Central Plains. Instead, they sought their own interests and committed chaos. This point will never be tolerated." He paused again, his tone slowed down, "The third sentence tells a story-'The King Wen of the past killed Ji Kang, and Ji Shao was a loyal minister of Jin'. Born as a son of man It's not something you can choose. Those who are willing to be loyal to the country and the king, why bother to ask about their background? My emperor has always been broad-minded, and he doesn't care about employing people." With a smile again, he handed the wine in the glass to Murong Jue, "Thinking of your Murong clan, There are no traitors. Speaking of which, Murong's envoy this time, it is said that it is because of Murong Jun's defection?"

Murong Jue immediately sobered up most of the wine.Recalling what I said, I couldn't help but panic.

He is here to negotiate a peace!This is really a drunk mistake.

However, seeing the unfriendly eyes of all the people who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, or annoyed and not annoyed, they knew that this was not a good time to talk.

Drink the wine and pretend to be more drunk.Convicted of the crime, he returned to his seat with three steps and three shakes.

Wei Lang had already endured too much.Seeing Murong Jue walking in front of the seat, he threw himself on him.As if being dragged by someone, it fell with a lot of demeanor.The jug in his hand hit him in the face.

Murong Jue was knocked dizzy, after a while he came to his senses and fell to the ground.He saw a little palace maid with twinkling eyes lying under him with her neckline folded, ready to cry.The remaining half of Murong Jue's wine also woke up, and he was busy explaining.The little girl had already punched him on the nose.

No one expected such a development, and when someone finally stepped forward to help, Murong Jue's nose bleeds profusely.

Sima Yu had already ordered Wei Lang to be dragged away.Wei Lang kicked Murong Jue "sadly and indignantly" while being dragged by others, Murong Jue made a fool of himself in public, but he couldn't explain it, he just felt ashamed to see others.

He didn't make any excuses, he just said he was unwell, left hastily, and fled with others.

Lu Xuan and Cui Chen also got up and left.

Cui Chen watched a big show.At this moment, he glanced at Xie Lian's seat - it was still empty.Looking at Sima Yu again, seeing that his face was still calm and humble, his gray eyes narrowed slightly.
