Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"My lord, are you back?" The little boy rushed up to greet him, and brushed the corner of Li Shangnuo's clothes.

"Well, this Mr. Mo Yuan was my old friend before. I never expected to meet him in the capital again. It can be seen that things are unpredictable!" Li Shangnuo sighed and walked into the gate of the house.

"My lord, you went to court early in the morning, and you just came back now. So you went to visit your old friend again?"

"Yes, how is it? Has lunch been prepared?"

"Ready, you left the house early in the morning, and you didn't have time to enjoy breakfast. You planned to wait for your return from court. Now, I'm afraid you will have lunch directly." Xiaotong is Li Shangnuo's personal valet. The waiter has a deep affection for Li Shangnuo's master and servant, and he always speaks casually. Li Shangnuo also treats him differently from other servants.

After Li Shangnuo finished speaking, he half-turned his head and glanced back, thinking in his heart, should it be all right?

Although he didn't know why Mr. Mo Yuan asked him to go back to the mansion to say such a thing, but Xiangzi had his reasons, so he did it one by one.

…………

"My lord, my lord—"

"what happened?"

Chu Xuanqing was worrying about He Yan's resignation from the court today, and He Yan's absence from the court for no reason was a bit strange.

Although it is inconvenient for him to communicate with him now, he will not fail to go to court for no reason. Even if he is sick, it is impossible not to report to the emperor.

He always felt that something had happened.

But now that King Lian is very suspicious of him, he might as well send someone to his house to check if it is not a last resort.

"Reporting to the lord, I received a message from someone who was following Yazhuxuan, saying that Li Shangnuo visited Yazhuxuan this morning."

"Li Shangnuo? The second place in the same class as Kong Zuo?" Thinking of the stubborn Kong Zuo, Chu Xuanqing still feels choked up.

He said something about "eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor", and also said that his behavior was perverted, hmph, I really don't know what is good or bad.

"Back to the prince, it is this person."

"Oh? What did he go to Yazhuxuan, and how did he know that young man in Tsing Yi lives in Yazhuxuan?"

"Returning to the lord, the people of the humble job faction are clever, and the humble job told them to try their best to find out the identity of the people in the courtyard, so when they saw Li Shangnuo visiting, they guessed that he might be able to reveal something there, so they stayed alone and stayed in Li Shangnuo alone. When Shang Nuo left, he quietly followed and got some news."

"What news?" Seeing that he didn't say the main point for a long time, the already anxious King Teng was about to stop, so he finally stopped.

"Li Shangnuo talked to Xiaotong, saying that he and that person were old friends, and called him, um, oh, Mr. Moyuan."

"Master Mo Yuan?"

Chu Xuanqing thought about it, and made sure that she had never heard of this person's name.

Liu Feng looked at his puzzled face, "Exactly. I have followed the prince for many years in a humble position, and I know everything about the information collected by the prince. I have never heard of this person."

"That's right, this king also doesn't know anything about this person, but if he has no expertise, why did Chu Xuanzhao deliberately bring him from Jiangnan to the capital?"

"My lord, could it be that he is a handsome scholar at all, and Chu Xuanzhao became flirtatious, that's why—"

"Stupid! How can he be incompetent to be brought back by Chu Xuanzhao himself and let Li Shangnuo visit? Besides, since Chu Xuanzhao returned to the capital, he has become so powerful. Where is his flair? Really?"

"Yes, I made a slip of the tongue. Could it be that his talent is limited, so his reputation is not obvious, so he was given up by Chu Xuanzhao and moved out of Prince Xin's Mansion?" Liu Feng didn't dare to say anything this time, and he spoke cautiously after a little thought .

"It's hard to say. But it may not be too big. Maybe he is a person who hides in the city. In any case, he and Chu Xuanzhao will be our chances." Chu Xuanqing turned around and walked to the desk and sat down , picked up a pen and wrote a notebook, and handed it to Liu Feng.

"My lord?"

"In this way, you take this invitation letter written by this king and this king's identity card to go to Yazhuxuan in person, and say that this king admires your son's talent, and I invite him to Liuhe Building tonight."

"Yes, the humble post takes orders."

…………

"Pavilion Master, as you expected, King Teng sent someone to wait outside the door." Zhu Qing put her hand on the dark dart at her waist, and she saw that person from a distance, and it was not a good look at him. thing.

"Let him come in." Shen Qingjun handed the jade flute to Bi Yuan, motioning for her to put it away.

Although Liu Feng was the leader of King Teng's guards, he was often ordered by King Teng to go out for activities. It was hard to guarantee that he would not know something about Chenyin Pavilion.

As for Zhu Qing and Bi Yuan, he had already ordered them to change out of the red and green clothes whenever they came to Yazhuxuan, and now they are both wearing short tunics with flowers around the waist.

"Pavilion Master?" Zhu Qing was reluctant.

"go."

"…Yes."

……

Liu Feng cupped his hands and saluted, "Excuse me, but Mr. Mo Yuan?"

While speaking, Liu Fengchao looked at the people in front of him. He had unparalleled appearance, ink wash clothes, elegant and Confucian style, he was indeed a literati.

Zhu Qing, who was at the side, saw his eyes looking up and down, raised her eyebrows, and pressed the dart tightly, wishing to gouge out his eyeballs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Biyuan was afraid that something would happen to her, so she hurriedly grabbed her, and when she saw her turn around, she shook her head slightly, signaling her not to be impulsive.

"Who are you?"

Shen Qingjun spoke coldly.

Liu Feng was slightly taken aback by the coldness in his short four words. This man looked refined and refined. He thought he was a gentle person, but he didn't expect his tone to be so cold.

"Oh, I'm a close friend of Prince Teng's mansion. I'm here to invite you to talk about it. This is an invitation card and a name card." Liu Feng held the post with both hands and handed it to him.

"Prince Teng?"

Shen Qingjun opened his mouth to ask a question, but his body remained motionless, showing no intention of accepting the post.Zhu Qing and Bi Yuan didn't have his orders, so naturally they wouldn't reach out to pick them up.

"Exactly."

"I reject."

"you,"

Seeing his blunt evidence, Liu Feng subconsciously shook his face, thinking that King Teng attached great importance to this person, and he didn't want to go back and be punished if something bad happened, so he tried to slow down his tone, "Young master, my lord is sincerely inviting, you see ?”

"Sincere invitation?"

"Naturally. My lord admires the young master's talent, so he personally wrote a greeting card, and invited the young master to meet him in Liuhelou."

"It turns out that this is the sincerity of your prince."

Shen Qingjun grabbed his robe and got up, put his hands behind his back and turned to the door, "Xiaohong, see off the guests."

"..."

Little Red=_=

"please?"

"This... Young Master, do you really want to disobey the kindness of the prince?"

Seeing that Shen Qingjun didn't intend to speak again, Zhu Qing raised her hand again, "Please."

Liu Feng had no choice but to resign.

…………

"You said he refused?"

"Exactly. Could it be that he refused because he believed in the king?"

"You repeat what he said at that time." Chu Xuanqing felt that maybe something offended him.

"Yes." Liu Feng immediately recounted the conversation between the two of them one by one.

After hearing this, Chu Xuanqing suddenly smiled, "So that's how it is."

"My lord?" Could it be that I did something wrong?

"Literati, there are always some so-called arrogance. To put it bluntly, they are arrogant. Since he wants sincerity, then this king will give him this sincerity."

"My lord, are you saying that he declined your invitation because he felt that you were not sincere enough? But, what else can you do if you write a greeting card yourself?"

Liu Feng felt that he had already given him a lot of face.

"Prepare for the ceremony, the king will personally visit you."

………………

Shen Qingjun looked at the person in front of him who was dressed in crimson palace gauze embroidered with a golden unicorn, and slowly said: "Why, the emperor is going to court again?"

At this time, it was originally the morning court time, but Chu Xuanzhao came here. Chu Xuanzhao would not be absent from class without reason, it could only be that His Majesty the emperor was absent from court again.

"Yeah, but, Qingjun, father is already pretty good. Although it's been a few days since he returned to court seriously, he is still much better than those emperors who haven't seen their emperors for years."

Chu Xuanzhao knew that he had a grudge against the emperor, but he felt that Emperor Yuan was not a completely fatuous emperor.

Shen Qingjun didn't answer his words.

Just when Chu Xuanzhao was about to change the subject, Shen Qingjun spoke again, "I heard that after March, there will be a general election?"

Chu Xuanzhao snapped, feeling a little embarrassed.

The "election" that Shen Qingjun mentioned refers to the election of the best girls every three years.There is one election every year and one election every three years. This has always been the rule.

Unless the king personally ordered to be exempted from the election, but the emperor obviously didn't mean that.

"Well, Qing Jun, although my father is seriously ill and not as strong as before, he is only 50 years old, so I am afraid that the general election will not be exempted."

"Ah."

"Qingjun, I—"

"Pavilion Master, King Teng led a visit."

Before Chu Xuanzhao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bi Yuan who came in a hurry.

"Please."

Chu Xuanzhao turned his head to look at Shen Qingjun, with a questioning expression on his face, Shen Qingjun lifted his chin lightly, signaling him to hide in the room first.

Chu Xuanzhao nodded, turned around and walked back.

Shen Qingjun glanced down at the teacup he had used, picked it up casually, and threw it straight at the back of Chu Xuanzhao's heart.

Hearing the sound of breaking through the air behind him, Chu Xuanzhao turned around instantly, caught the teacup with one hand, swung his arm, and poured the tea into the teacup without falling a drop.

He raised his hand and took a sip, then raised his eyebrows at Shen Qingjun.

Shen Qingjun slightly hooked his lips.

Holding the teacup, Chu Xuanzhao turned around and walked towards Shen Qingjun's side hall. As soon as he was about to enter the door, he turned his steps, stepped a little, and went around into the east wing.

"...!"

That is Shen Qingjun's bedroom.

Shen Qingjun clenched his fists and let out a soft breath.

Chu Xuanqing had already brought someone in.
