After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

When the two were "arguing endlessly" over a bowl of medicine, a voice from the palace master came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the lady and the prince want to see you."

Lu Zhaoyan looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan had no intention of getting up and avoiding him, and continued to lie on Lu Zhaoyan's rattan chair as usual.

Lu Zhaoyan was not a person who would haggle over every penny, so seeing him like this, he didn't say anything.

A certain treacherous minister was so arrogant that he raised his hand and pulled the screen to block himself.

Lu Zhaoyan sighed: "Come in."

The master of the palace stepped aside.

The study door is closed.

The master of the palace did not reach out to open the door for Dou Qingyi. His duty was to protect the prince, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

Dou Qingyi stood at the door, holding the lunch box in one hand and straightening her wide sleeves with the other.

The little maid beside her came forward and opened the study door for her.

Dou Qingyi's lotus steps moved slightly, and the flowing hem of her skirt slowly brushed across the threshold, instantly filling the whole room with light.

Prince Jian followed his mother into the room, looking dignified and imposing.

Dou Qingyi noticed the opened screen.

Since being canonized, the Crown Prince has had more mundane affairs to attend to, with memorials sent to him from the palace every day. This not only helps the Crown Prince share His Majesty's worries, but also helps hone his ability in handling state affairs.

The prince was diligent and would stay in the study until late at night. When he felt sleepy, he would take a rest on the rattan chair.

Dou Qingyi understood something in her heart. She retracted her gaze and bowed to the prince gracefully: "Your Highness."

Prince Jian also bowed, with a humble and respectful attitude: "Your son greets you, father."

Lu Zhaoyan nodded.

Dou Qingyi said: "Qingyi made ginseng chicken soup for you, please try it."

"That's thoughtful." Lu Zhaoyan said gently, "Just let the kitchen do this kind of thing. You don't have to worry so much."

Dou Qingyi smiled gently: "It is Qingyi's blessing to be able to do her best for Your Highness."

As she spoke, she placed the chicken soup on the table, "Qingyi, serve His Highness a bowl."

Lu Zhaoyan said: "I'll drink later."

Dou Qingyi put the lid of the food box back on and said with a smile, "That's fine. It's just out of the pot, so it's a little hot."

As if she had thought of something, she asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that the Prince of Ming has returned to the Imperial City and brought back a brother for Qi'er in our house."

The incident was such a big deal that it had already spread throughout the house. It was not surprising that she knew about it.

Lu Zhaoyan paused and said in a gentle voice, "He is the son of an old friend."

Dou Qingyi smiled knowingly and asked, "Are you here for the wedding banquet at the Crown Prince's Mansion? You must be a distinguished guest. I wonder... where does he live?"

"live……"

Lu Zhaoyan was hesitant to speak, and for a moment he didn't know how to arrange Lu Yuan's stay or departure.

Behind the screen, there was the sound of someone turning over, revealing a sense of impatience.

Lu Zhaoyan sighed helplessly: "He has his own place to go."

Dou Qingyi smiled and said, "Qi'er has just arrived in the imperial city and doesn't have many friends. If that young master doesn't mind, why don't you stay at the mansion and keep Qi'er company?"

Lu Qi said hurriedly: "Yes, father, let him live in my courtyard."

Dou Qingyi said, "Your Highness, Mr. Wen comes to teach Qi'er every day. If that young master is interested, he and Qi'er can learn from Mr. Wen together."

Mr. Wen was a famous scholar in the southwest. When Emperor Liang became emperor, he invited him to serve as an official in the court, but he declined.

But for some reasons, he needed to stay in the imperial city temporarily, so he settled for the second best and agreed to come to the Prince's Mansion to teach Lu Qi.

Lu Zhaoyan glanced at the screen that was as quiet as a chicken. Somehow, he always felt that if that boy went to Lu Qi's yard to attend class, Lu Qi's teacher would be mad to death.

He said, "No, I have my own plans."

"Yes."

Dou Qingyi said no more.

Next, Lu Zhaoyan tested Lu Qi's homework.

Lu Qi has learned everything the Master taught today.

Lu Zhaoyan nodded with satisfaction.

Dou Qingyi looked at the prince's praise for Lu Qi, and the joy in her eyes was beyond words.

After leaving the Prince's courtyard, Lu Qi asked Dou Qingyi, "Mother, which old friend of ours is that man? He was in the study the whole time, right? Why didn't our father let him come out to see us?"

Dou Qingyi said, "It doesn't matter whether he is the son of an old friend or a blood relative. It doesn't matter whether he meets us or not. You just need to remember that you are the only son recognized by your father. You are the guardian of the country by your royal grandfather. You are responsible for the fate of Daliang. Even if your father has eight or ten sons outside, no one can replace you."

"But I have never been behind my father's screen."

Lu Qi said worriedly.

When he went to Lu Zhaoyan's study, there was nothing else to do except being tested on his homework.

He is always well-behaved and polite, and dares not make any mistakes.

"That's something he can't stand."

Dou Qingyi patted the fallen leaves on her son's shoulder, "Let's take a step back and say that he is really another son of your father, so what? You are the future king of Daliang, the whole country belongs to you, why are you afraid of your father's illegitimate children? You are about to get married to Liuying, don't think too much about other things, someone will plan for you. Besides, didn't your father say that he would not keep him in the mansion? How much weight can a person who can't even live in the prince's mansion have in your father's heart?"

Lu Qi put his heart back in his stomach: "I know, mother."

study.

After the mother and son left, Lu Zhaoyan opened a memorial and said:

"Drink the medicine, I'll let Ji Feng take you back."

Ji Feng, the master from the Imperial Palace who always guards the door.

Lu Yuan didn't answer.

Lu Zhaoyan walked around the screen and saw that Lu Yuan had fallen asleep with his head tilted.

This time he was not pretending, he really fell into a deep sleep.

It was true that I was busy and exhausted along the way, and it was also true that I had to act in front of Lu Zhaoyan, but pretending to fall asleep was really unexpected.

Lu Zhaoyan glanced at the bowl of medicine on the table.

Didn't drink.

Lu Zhaoyan sighed: "So stubborn."

Ji Feng asked at the door: "Your Highness, do you want to send him away?"

Lu Zhaoyan glanced at the sleeping Lu Yuan and said, "Forget it. I'll send him away after he wakes up."

Ji Feng asked: "Do I need to report to you?"

Lu Zhaoyan frowned: "Hmm?"

Ji Feng said seriously, "What if he woke up when you were not at home? Should I send him away directly or wait until you come back?"

Lu Zhaoyan: "...wait for me to come back."

Ji Feng: Are you sure you can send it away?

On the other side, Meng Qianqian, Sishe, Chenlong and Shangguan Ling sat on a stone bench in the yard, discussing the next plan.

Yu Zichuan sat on the roof polishing the bow.

Ji Li lay on the roof and admired the moon.

Suddenly, a falcon flapped its wings and swooped down from the sky, flying over Shangguan Ling's head.

Shangguan Ling was startled and almost drew his sword to kill the bird again.

The falcon landed on Meng Qianqian's wristband-covered arm.

Then, the show began.

It raised its head, spread its wide wings, and hugged Meng Qianqian's arm enthusiastically: "Chi~"

Shangguan Ling: "This is——"

Meng Qianqian: "Lu Yuan calls me daddy."

Falcon rolled his eyes and fell straight onto the stone table.

Meng Qianqian: "Lu Yuan fainted."

The falcon climbed up with difficulty and continued its performance.

"Lu Yuan, take medicine."

"Lu Yuan is crying."

"Lu Yuan, please hug me..."

Meng Qianqian's mouth twitched. You've overacted. I asked you to act, not to add to the drama.

Shangguan Ling shuddered.

Is this definitely the Grand Commander?

Is he so shameless as to claim a father?

Falcon: What kind of face does a dog man who is only worth two pieces of dried meat have? Let's continue to play——

At this time, Lu Yuan had no idea that his fame had been completely ruined by an eagle. If he had known, he would have killed the eagle before going to sleep.

"It seems that Lu Yuan is not in any danger for the time being."

Meng Qianqian said seriously.

Shangguan Ling's expression was hard to describe: "Young Madam, you call this no problem?"

The Grand Commander was driven crazy!

Meng Qianqian coughed lightly: "It's just a temporary measure. A real man can take it and let it go. In ancient times, there was King Goujian of Yue who slept on firewood and tasted gall..."

...I really can't continue.

"No matter what, he has been allowed to live in the Prince's Mansion. I am more worried about Wuyou than him."

She quickly changed the subject, saying that she still had to save her husband's face, even though there wasn't much she could do.

Shangguan Ling also got back to the point: "I will go back to Qianji Pavilion now."

Meng Qianqian asked: "You are an outer disciple, can you meet the young master?"

Shangguan Ling smiled and said, "I can't see him, but he can come to see me! Brother, bring a message."

He reached out and touched the falcon's head.

The falcon flapped its wings to flap his claws away, saying, "Don't get close to me!"

-

Qianji Pavilion.

Tan'er had just finished eating braised pork and was feeling full. She left Tingtao Pavilion and took a walk nearby to digest the food.

"Qianji Pavilion is quite big!"

She seemed to be wandering aimlessly, passing through the small garden, walking along the winding path, and then coming to a pavilion built on the slope.

Standing in the pavilion, you can overlook half of the Qianji Pavilion.

"Then where does Gongsun Yanming live?"

Qianji Pavilion had just moved in, and even Shang Wuyou didn’t know where the Pavilion Master’s courtyard was.

Just as she was trying to remember the terrain, an arrogant voice came from the side: "You, come here."

Tan'er continued to look around.

Gongsun Ziyu frowned: "I'm calling you? Didn't you hear me?"

Tan Er then looked at Gongsun Ziyu, pointed at herself, and asked, "What are you yelling about?"

Gongsun Ziyu saw Tan'er's appearance clearly and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. What a cute little maid! She was even prettier than the daughters of the imperial city.

If Tan'er hadn't been wearing a maid's clothes, Gongsun Ziyu would have really thought she was a young lady from some wealthy family.

Gongsun Ziyu looked her up and down: "Which courtyard are you from? I have never seen you before."

If she had ever seen a maid of this appearance, she would have been impressed.

Tan Er replied, "It's in Ting Tao Pavilion."

Gongsun Ziyu's eyes flashed with disdain: "Tingtao Pavilion? Are you the little maid brought back by Gongsun Wuyou?"

Tan Er said, “Yes.”

The maidservant beside Gongsun Ziyu scolded, "How disrespectful! Why don't you come over and pay your respects to the Second Young Miss?"

Tan Er folded her arms and looked down at Gongsun Ziyu: "I'm not her maid!"

The maid said angrily: "How dare you!"

Gongsun Ziyu said sarcastically, "My brother has been gone for several months, and I thought he had made some progress outside, but the servant he brought back is so vulgar. I wonder where this country girl came from? Get her out!"

The maid whispered, "Second Miss, it was Madam who agreed to keep the person here."

Gongsun Ziyu said arrogantly: "Did my mother agree?"

The maidservant said awkwardly, "Madam has always loved the Young Master. I'm sure Madam will not object to the person the Young Master brings back."

Tan Er stuck out her tongue at Gongsun Ziyu and said, "About."

A trace of resentment flashed in Gongsun Ziyu's eyes.

I got bullied when I went out today, and now I have to endure the bullying of a maid when I return to Qianji Pavilion?

How can it be?

Gongsun Ziyu said, "Just chase him away if I tell you to. I will go and talk to mother myself!"

As the second young lady in the family, Gongsun Ziyu has always been at odds with the twins, and has driven away their servants more than once.

Especially Shang Changle, the servants she was used to having were either robbed or driven away.

The maid walked up to the pavilion and said to Tan'er bluntly, "Did you hear me? The Second Miss told you to get out of Qianji Pavilion!"

Tan'er folded her arms, looked up at the sky and ignored her.

The maid said coldly: "Don't you understand what people say?"

"I can understand human language, but I can't understand donkey braying!"

"You ignorant wild girl, wait and see how I deal with you!"

As Gongsun Ziyu's personal maid, she also knows some martial arts skills.

She didn't take the skinny little Tan'er seriously at all and slapped her in the face.

How could Tan'er be hit by her?

With his hands still folded in his arms, he raised his long legs high and stomped on her shoulders, knocking her to her knees.

"Second Miss——"

The maid screamed in pain.

Gongsun Ziyu said to the disciples behind him, "What are you standing there for? Go and kick her out!"

The disciples looked at each other.

They just met the second young lady halfway and happened to be going the same way as her.

They don't want to get involved in the personal feud between the Second Miss and the Young Pavilion Master.

Gongsun Ziyu said sternly: "If you don't listen to me, I will expel you and her from Qianji Pavilion today!"

The Young Master is kind and you can ask for his forgiveness if you offend him.

Second Miss...if you offend her once, there will be no way out.

Several people exchanged glances, made a choice in their hearts, and rushed towards the pavilion.

What no one expected was that they, as disciples of Qianji Pavilion, didn't even touch the corner of that wild girl's clothes.

"A bunch of trash!"

Gongsun Ziyu pulled out the whip from her waist, used her lightness skills to jump onto the pavilion, and hit Tan'er hard with the whip.

Tan'er didn't know that the whip tail was poisonous and was about to grab it with his bare hands.

Suddenly, a sharp eagle cry was heard in the sky.

The falcon swooped down and struck Gongsun Ziyu's face with one claw.

Gongsun Ziyu hurriedly pulled the whip with her backhand and swung it at the falcon.

Falcon evades quickly.

Snapped!

The whip cut the branches and leaves around the pavilion.

Tan Er looked at the rapidly withering broken end of the branch, opened her eyes wide and said, "There's something wrong with this whip."

Falcon challenged again.

Gongsun Ziyu swung the whip at it again.

This time, seeing that he couldn't escape, the Falcon's hair stood on end!

call out!

Tan'er tightly grasped the tail of Gongsun Ziyu's whip.

Gongsun Ziyu pulled hard but couldn't pull it out.

This girl...how come she is so strong?

Gongsun Ziyu looked at Tan'er's hand. She originally wanted to gloat over her misfortune. This girl was going to die if she grabbed her poison whip.

Who would have thought that she saw a pair of strange gloves on the other person's hands that he had put on at some point.

Tan Er shook her head and said, "This treasure my grandma gave me is really useful!"
