marriage gentleman

Chapter 12

On weekdays, regardless of the wind and rain, there are always a few young masters in the courtyard of Nanfengxuan who are reciting poems, or playing the piano to add to the fun. The young masters in Nanfengxuan like to do the most arty things.

However, since Qi Guang killed Bai Sheng to make an example to others, Nanfeng Xuan has become much quieter.

In the past, the young masters who followed Bai Sheng would say provocative words when they saw Yun Zhen, but after Bai Sheng's incident, now they can walk around Yun Zhen and they will never meet him head-on.

Yun Zhen was also very happy.

Ani Xiang and Ani Bi knew that Bai Sheng had been dealt with, and were overjoyed. They went to Nanfengxuan's small stove to cook a bamboo shoot banquet for Yun Zhen. They used eighteen martial arts and burned the entire table. Steamed bamboo shoots, fried bamboo shoots, braised bamboo shoots, steamed bamboo shoots and so on.

After Yun Zhen got rid of the suspicion, she became a little more cheerful than before, and even took the initiative to praise the delicious food cooked by Fennel and Fenbi.

Seeing this, Hui Bi boldly asked a question.

"Mr. Yun, why...why are you so obsessed with bamboo shoots?" It was really the first time she saw someone who loved bamboo shoots like his life. What would he like to eat in the palace? The generous His Majesty was never stingy, and the other princes ate it all at once. It's like Chinese New Year, except that their young master eats bamboo shoots every meal.

Yun Zhen was silent for a while.

Just when Ani Bi and Ani Xiang thought that Yun Zhen would not answer, Yun Zhen said, "There is a person who likes to eat steamed bamboo shoots."

"Huh?" Ani Bi and Ani Xiang were both startled.Fennel tentatively asked, "Who is the young master?"

He said softly: "Very important person."

"Male or female?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.Fenbi and Fennel looked at each other.

A voice came from outside——

"It's me, Su Chengyu."

Yun Zhen was taken aback.

Hui Bi asked, "My lord, do you want to open the door?"

Yun Zhen hesitated for a while, and said: "Let him in, you go out." As soon as the door of the wing room was closed, only Su Chengyu and Yun Zhen were left in the room.Yun Zhen still ate the bamboo shoots calmly.Su Chengyu walked over with a smile, and said, "I smelled the scent of bamboo shoots from a long distance away, Mr. Yun, don't you mind if I have dinner here?"

Yun Zhen glanced at him and didn't make a sound, but took the initiative to fill a bowl of rice and handed it to him.

Su Chengyu smiled and said, "Thank you."

He sat down opposite Yun Zhen, and the two ate up all the bamboo shoots on the table without saying a word.After Yun Zhen burped, he finally said, "Why did you help me that day?"

He has never played chess with Su Chengyu.

At that time, if the emperor had asked a few more people, he would have known that Su Chengyu was lying.

Su Chengyu said with a smile: "Bai Sheng has been in Nanfengxuan for four years, because he was the first to come to Nanfengxuan to bully newcomers, many people in Nanfengxuan have long disliked him. Besides, this matter is indeed related to you Nothing to do. I'm not helping you, I'm just on the side of the evidence."

There was a jug of wine on the table, Su Chengyu brought wine glasses and filled two glasses.

He handed him a glass, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I drink?"

This sentence seemed to have stepped on Yun Zhen's painful feet. He immediately grabbed the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it down. After putting down the wine glass, his face was flushed with choking, and it took him a long time to say: "Yes!"

Su Chengyu chuckled lightly.

"That's not how you drink wine." He picked up the wine glass, took a sip before swallowing it slowly, with an elegant posture from the beginning to the end, not at all like Yun Zhen who was choked and coughed.He said, "Drinking for the first time?"

"no!"

"the second time?"

"Yes." When Yun Zhen said this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He originally wanted to deny it, but after asking two sentences in succession, he told him without knowing it.

Su Chengyu smiled and said, "I'll teach you how to drink in the future." After Bai Sheng's incident ended, Qi Guang originally thought that old man Qin would come to nag her again.After all, this matter is indeed worthy of nagging. If she is not careful, she will become the king who was drowned because of being addicted to male sex in the unofficial history.

Although she is good at water, but in the mouth of old man Qin, with his erudition and good tongue, as long as there is something the size of a sesame mung bean in her harem, he can rise to the realm of state affairs and destiny.

Yes, Qi Guang is ready.

This time, she didn't plan to run away either, she was going to obediently let Old Man Qin finish his narration.Otherwise, seeing him holding his breath when going to court, and his eyes staring like pills popping out of his pill furnace, it really made her flustered.

Unexpectedly, after several days in succession, Qin Dai talked and laughed happily with several colleagues, and did not intend to nag Qi Guang at all.

She felt weird in her heart, and muttered: "Could it be that old man Qin doesn't know about this?"

Jiang Dezhong couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, maybe Qin Yushi didn't take this matter to heart."

Qi Guang shook his head and said, "Impossible. In the past, when an ant died in the widow's palace, old man Qin would have to chatter a few words. Now that such a big event has happened, old man Qin can't possibly ignore it," he said after a pause, Qi Guang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Maybe it's a trick of playing hard to get, I will wait a few more days."

A few days later, Qin Yushi still directly ignored Qi Guang, even when he went to court, he was amiable.

However, the more Qin Dai was like this, the more uncomfortable Qi Guang became.

After a few days, Qi Guang finally couldn't take it anymore.After going down, she kept Qin Dai, then walked down the jade steps slowly, staring sideways at Qin Dai.

"Qin Yushi has something to report to the widow?"

Qin Dai was confused, stroked his beard, and said in doubt: "The old minister has just finished reporting in the court hall, is there anything you don't understand?"

Qi Guang said, "You have nothing to say to the widow?"

Qin Dai looked at the emperor in front of him, pondered carefully, and said, "Your Majesty...what does Your Majesty want the old minister to say?"

Qi Guang's eyes paused, and he began to look at Qin Dai seriously.

At the end, she said: "Did you take the wrong medicine these few days?" Otherwise, why would it be as if the whole person had changed his temper.

Qin Dai was choked, and he said seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the pills refined in the old minister's mansion are all for curing diseases, and the old minister has no intention of cultivating immortality and longevity."

It's strange.

Since it's not the wrong pill, could it be...

Qi Guang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it uneasy at home these few days?"

Qin Dai's eyes widened.

"What would His Majesty want to say to the old minister?"

This look is right, the eyes are as stunning as the pills in the alchemy furnace.Qi Guang nodded frequently, and finally cut to the chase: "The matter of Bai Sheng..."

Qin Dai finally understood, and he said: "The minister Lu has already explained this matter to the old minister, and the veteran thinks that what the minister Lu said is reasonable, the fault of this matter is Bai Sheng, and the way His Majesty handled it is also very correct, the veteran is quite Rejoice."

She thought it was incredible that she was praised.

In the past few years, she worked hard to deal with old man Qin, but unfortunately, she always worshiped his three-inch tongue every time. Later, she resigned to her fate. She never thought that one day after listening to Lu Li's words, he would actually praise her!
You must know that when she was Taifu, old man Qin always had a straight face, even in front of his mother, he never praised her.

Qi Guang was like dreaming.

On the way back to Chengqian Palace from the Hall of Discussion, Qi Guang sat on the imperial chariot, speechless all the way, with a somewhat dull expression.

Jiang Dezhong comforted him worriedly: "Your Majesty, Qin Yushi is old, so it is inevitable that he loves to nag. Your Majesty, you don't need to take it to heart." I think Qin Yushi nagged so much this time that his Majesty's soul died. The nagging is gone.

Qi Guang still didn't speak.

After arriving at Chengqian Palace, Jiang Dezhong helped Qi Guang get off the imperial chariot.Qi Guang suddenly said: "Chuan Luli."

"Yes... yes, Your Majesty." After the imperial court, several colleagues from the household department left the meeting hall together.

Lin Quan walked ahead.

Lu Li and another colleague walked behind Lin Quan.Lin Quan hurriedly walked fast.Another colleague whispered to Lu Li: "I heard that the fifth son of Lin Shangshu's family is ill. After being frightened in the palace last time, he has not recovered. He has also invited all the imperial doctors in Lin Shangshu's palace. Fifth Young Master Lin still hasn't improved much. That's why Lin Shangshu's face has been dark these past few days, and the atmosphere in the household department is extremely tense."

Lu Li said: "When Fifth Young Master Lin improves, Shangshu Lin will recover."

"Oh, I hope so." After walking for a while, he turned around and said, "Are you feeling unwell today? Why are you walking so slowly?"

Lu Li said with a smile: "The surrounding scenery is very good, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are also in bloom. I was greedy for the beautiful scenery for a while, so I walked slowly."

He said: "When it comes to elegance, I'm a rough person. I still have urgent matters, and I will enjoy the flowers with Lu colleagues some other day."

Lu Li nodded.

After several colleagues had left, Lu Li slowed down again, and when he reached the palace gate, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.He smiled and turned around slowly.

"Lu Shilang, stay here."

Jiang Dezhong gasped and said again: "Your Majesty has a call."
