Record of ups and downs in troubled times

Huang De was already used to being scolded by his master.He just licked his nose and stood firm on both feet to prevent being poked into the ground by his master.

"You silly thing! Alas," the master who just slapped him on the forehead carelessly, seemed to recall something, his palm softened and rested on Huang De's shoulder, actually wanting to talk to him mean.

He said: "You little brat who is not as tall as a man, what do you know? If you don't like it, of course you should stop thinking about it early. If you knew it early, and now you messed with her, you can only make people shed tears for you in the future. It's better to do something now and teach her to hate you so much."

Huang De went through his master's words in his head, and for some reason, he had the idea of ​​rebuttal: "But who knows what will happen in the future? Isn't this just bullying others under the guise of 'being good for others'? Anyway, I don’t care about other futures, I think that when I die, someone will shed tears for me, so I can die with peace of mind.”

"What do you know? Children, you should be saying the word death?" Seeing his stupid look, Zhou Zheng wished he could hit him again. "You don't know who His Majesty likes? I teach you to teach you how to use your brain. It's good for you, you came to me to make a fuss! You are amazing! You are full of economics, and you have the ability to become a teacher in the academy. I’m afraid I’m going to betray your talent here!”

It was quite a beating, and Huang De was so wronged that he stopped his mouth listlessly.He turned his head and looked around, trying to find something to do so that he could stay out of the sight of the master. Before he could slip away, Zhou Zheng said again: "Oh, what are you looking at? It's you! Go to the Shuangyun Palace Walk around and see that girl from the Cheng family leave the palace safely and then come back. Be smart! Don’t send you out once, and people will ask me everywhere, "What is that yellow thing under your command doing to Shuangyun Palace?" , if someone asks, I will discount your two dog legs!"

"Anyway, he's a man who relies on his mouth to eat, and his legs are useless, isn't it..." Zhou Zheng was still babbling, Huang De moved three times, and flashed out of the palace door with a promise, and went to the Shuangyun Palace in a well-behaved manner. The direction went.

At this time, in the bedroom of Shuangyun Palace, there was a crying girl in purple clothes nestled on the bed, her hair was still dripping because it had just been soaked in water.While undoing the hairpin stuck in her bun, Yonglin frowned thoughtfully thinking about something.

"Aunt, she..." Cheng Wei cried really sadly.

The aunt she was talking about was the queen mother, and it was the queen mother who poured cold water on her from head to toe: she heard that she was going to make a queen for the emperor, and she thought it must be herself.Apart from himself, does father have other daughters?Since she was a child, she was used to playing with the emperor. Although they had gradually become estranged in the past few years, it was because they grew up to avoid suspicion. The two of them, at least in her heart, still liked Liu Pu.

"She actually..." Cheng Wei cried to this point, suddenly remembered what the Queen Mother had told her, and stopped talking immediately.Suffering but unable to tell, my heart became more and more sad, and tears fell one after another, as if I didn't want money.

"Queen Mother, isn't she?" Yonglin figured out something, and unexpectedly smiled expectantly, "She won't let you marry your brother, is it because she wants you to marry an old and ugly old man?"

"You know?" Cheng Wei cried out in surprise, "My aunt didn't teach me to tell it, so she already told you. But do you know who that person is? She didn't even tell me."

"I don't know, and she doesn't tell me anything. But I have a good idea. If I were to teach me to marry an old man, I would definitely rather find another way, anyway, don't listen to them obediently!"

"What way?" Cheng Zhi's mind was in a mess, so he could only follow Yong Lin's advice.She has been raised in a deep boudoir for a long time, and she is not an independent person. Hearing what the princess said, she finally stopped crying and asked: "Is there any other way? Oh, I see, let's ask Brother Pu! He is Emperor, whoever he wants to marry is up to him."

"Hey!" Yonglin sneered and said: "You still attach your heart to him now? He is the most unkind person I have ever seen. Do you think he really likes you? Want to marry you? Don't cry , I have already taught someone to ask him to come and see you, do you know how he answered?"

"Auntie too... Brother Pu too...so what should I do?" Cheng Zhi didn't dare to ask her father Cheng Nan.Her mother was not favored, and when she became ruthless, she only scolded her father as "white-faced impermanence" and "white-faced impermanence", which taught her to be afraid of Cheng Nan since she was a child. "I don't want to marry out of Beijing, and I don't want to marry a bad old man. I might as well die! You shouldn't have saved me! Teach me to die!"

She is right.

She had seen with her own eyes that the little sister whose father was an official in the capital married an old man in his seventies and eighties from another county. When he came back to Beijing to visit relatives by chance, he helped the old man as if he were his granddaughter.After the old man's death, she was kicked out of the house by the older "adopted sons" of that family, and neither family could return, and she didn't know what kind of dismal end she would end up in.

Cheng Yu felt that if she was kicked out by her husband's family, her father, Cheng Nan, would probably not be willing to take her in anymore.

"Hey, don't cry! I don't think you should hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck. There is a way to give your brother Pu a good look, and teach you not to marry that bad old man!" Yong Lin's mouth lightly He jumped up and said happily: "A few days ago, Fan Guo opened his mouth and asked for a marriage..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Cheng Yan: "What's the difference! The head of the Fan clan is now in his dozens of years! Doesn't count as going out of Beijing, do you still have to go to the western border?! If you go, I'm afraid you'll never see me again in this lifetime!"

"What do you know?!" Thinking of these points, Yonglin hastily turned her brain to make amends, "What do you say even if you come back? Since the queen mother and the prime minister can marry you off, they never thought of collecting the water that was thrown out again. The meaning of coming back! Concerned about this, it is different where you marry? To marry the lord of the Fan Kingdom, you have to endure some border wind and sand, but the lord Xiao is the most indomitable hero. The emperor of the country has to give him a little face! Besides, Lord Xiao is not very old, he is nearly forty years old, which is the best time for a man to succeed in starting a career, not to mention that he has no descendants under his knees. You will not be offended if you marry him, or What a majestic Mrs. Fan Guo!"

"Really? Could it be that the Empress Dowager taught you to go, and you didn't want to, so you deliberately came to cover me?" Cheng Zhi was skeptical.

"Be kind and considerate for you, forget it if you don't believe it! Just treat my good intentions as being eaten by dogs!" Yonglin's anxiety was seen, and she became more anxious.Although she said Cheng Zhi didn't believe it, but she still couldn't help adding a few more words: "I will give you advice, and you treat others with the heart of a villain. Then think for yourself, go ask your good brother Pu , see if he is willing to marry you?"

snort!Your sweetheart likes a man!You see whether he is willing to marry you or not!

Yonglin was trying to find a scapegoat for herself but failed, but there was already movement on the emperor's side.

Jingren Palace released the news last night, saying that it was a girl who had been appointed to marry far away from Fanguo.It is said that this girl was recommended by the emperor, and the queen mother has also seen it and is very satisfied.Now, there is only an excuse to lift her up and make her a princess, so that she can make people look good.

"There are so many women in the palace, who can't marry, does it have to be Qin Changyun?"

"Yes." Liu Pu replied firmly.He looked at Tan Yangui who took the initiative to talk to him for the first time in many days, and added affirmatively: "There is no question."

"Why?" Even Tan Yangui, no matter how kind-tempered he was, couldn't help but tinge with anger. "Do you think there is something unspeakable between me and her, so you can't get her out if you die?"

Liu Pu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Guess."

The most irritating thing about him is this, when others are furious, he can still laugh!

"I have nothing to do with her! You don't need to waste your time. She is just a little Lezheng in the palace, and she is not needed for such important things as Mrs. Fan Guo."

"Who said it can't be used? Do you know who made the pot of Dongying dew in your room?"

"You sent someone to monitor me?!" Tan Yangui raised her eyebrows, sparks almost appeared in her eyes.

"Second Master Tan, don't be angry." Zhou Zheng, the peacemaker, hurried forward to smooth things over.He persuaded Xu Xu: "Everything that comes in and out of the palace must be recorded. Dongyinglu is a rare thing in the palace, and naturally it is no exception. Your Majesty only came across it by chance and learned the reason, not by sending someone Watching you."

Liu Pu saw that Tan Yangui's voice gradually slowed down, and then he continued: "Qin Changyun gave it to you, didn't it?" He saw Tan Yangui nodded, and continued: "She is a little happy, and she has a lot of money. Buy something like this? Don’t you think who gave it to you? Do you know the young guard Qi Jingyang next to Cheng Nan? He gave it to him.”

Tan Yangui's face showed a look of astonishment: he thought he and Qin Changyun were close friends, but he didn't know that she was actually related to the people around the prime minister.

"I know you have an arrogant personality, and you don't want to think about these small things that are twisted and intrigued, but you have to be on guard, right?" Seeing that his expression was loose, Liu Pu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "I'll tell you, you're so sweet Now, let's see if what I said makes sense."

"Qi Jingyang is Cheng Nan's confidant, and he has always been closer than his own son. Then you say, Qi Jingyang likes the girl surnamed Qin, why didn't Cheng Nan marry him early? Could it be that he stayed in the palace to marry you?" Rip?"

"I didn't!" Tan Yangui suddenly defended bluntly, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.It was only at this moment that he came back to his senses. Could it be that Qin Changyun was looking for Dongyinglu for him because... he liked him?If you don't like him, is it really someone from the prime minister's side?

"I know you don't." Liu Pu thought to himself, this elm lump, he had to roll on the same bed with him before he knew what you thought about him.The little girl Qin Changyun is a bit thin-skinned, I'm afraid she won't be able to snatch Tan Er from his family. "But when you think about it, the two of them, you and me, and the concubine, are so beautiful that they want to keep the girl in the palace. What else is there for?"

At this time, it is the right way to smear Qin Changyun without any leeway.Liu Pu lured Tan Yan back to his side to think.

"Don't you believe it? Then let me ask you again, what are you using Dongyinglu for? Does she know?"

"It's for..." Tan Yangui slapped his forehead and said anxiously: "Oops! I used Dongyinglu to restore the annals. She may have known the record that I was looking for King Huai! It was my negligence, but why? I never imagined that a gentle and kind girl like her could be the Cheng family's spy?!"

"That's right." Liu Pu breathed a sigh of relief with sweaty palms, and added another dose of medicine: "That's not counting, she shouldn't just be by your side to find out what I'm planning , the main purpose is still you. The courtiers don't know the relationship between you and me. She may have come to check this matter. As for whether this theory is reliable, it depends on the Queen Mother's attitude. If the Queen Mother calls If you go to the Longevity Palace, then Qin Changyun's identity will be confirmed."
