That little fly

"Qingqian, you're here." Mr. Zhong was as kind as ever, and his tone was that of a scholar who was not in a hurry.

"Sir." Shui Qingqian saluted politely, her skin was very tense.Normally he called him 'Grandpa' when he was being coquettish and cute, but now he just dared to call him whatever he should honestly.

"Come on, come here and write a few words for the teacher."

"Yes." Shui Qingqian stood in front of the desk and glanced at Mr. Zhong. The teacher didn't express his opinion, so after thinking about it, he took a pen and wrote four words, peace and distance.

"Yeah." After looking at it for a long time, Mr. Zhong said, "Are you nervous?"

Clear water: ………

"The wonderful way of the book is the spirit. Your words are like a strongman swinging his fist, like a diamond, and you can see the majesty of a hero. But the strokes are round and thick, and the edge is hidden in strength. Although the whole looks gentle but not soft, the rhythm Harmony, but the details are still in the bag, and the sharpness is sharp. I specially chose these words to write, what do you want to imply? What are you afraid of?" Mr. Zhong smiled unabated.

"I'm afraid of being scolded." Shui Qingqian put on a small grievance, and hooked up Grandpa Zhong's sleeve.

"Guilty? It seems that you also understand what you have been doing these days!" Mr. Zhong's expression was serious.

"It was they who bullied me first!" Shui Qingqian began to act miserably, "As soon as my father left home, they formed a group to bully me... If I am cowarded this time, I don't know how I will be bullied in the future. If I don't beat them, their faces will be full of peach blossoms... Oops!" Shui Qingqian ran away with her head in her arms, and was hit by Mr. Zhong's walking stick.

"Hmph! Your father isn't here, and I'm still here! A teacher for a day, a father for life! If you come to me, I'd like to see how those gentle scum dare to corrupt you?"

"Hehehe, you have a good character in your old life, and there are bandits. How can you bother with them directly? Don't say it's me who caused it. Even if they don't open their eyes to provoke you one day, they must There are disciples who do their best, right? I’m willing to do my best.” Shui Qingqian led Mr. Zhong out of the study without any trace, “Grandpa Zhong, we haven’t seen each other for several months. I miss grandma’s ox tongue. Biscuits and osmanthus coconut mille-feuille…”

"Eh? Are you here to see me, or are you greedy for your grandma's small kitchen..."

"Grandpa, of course it's for Grandpa Zhong!"

The alarm is cleared ^_^

Shui Qingqian sweet mouth and shameless, a few words coaxed Mr. Zhong to divert his attention.It's not that Shui Qingqian underestimated his teacher. In terms of knowledge, prestige, and character, Mr. Zhong is absolutely on top of the mountain, but when it comes to ghostly methods, Mr. Zhong's fighting power can't even beat the lowest intensity in the officialdom struggle.

"Qingqian, you are fine."

Just when Shui Qingqian thought he had successfully diverted Mr. Zhong's attention, Mr. Zhong suddenly said this while walking.

The water is clear and shallow:?

"You came from an extraordinary background, you were successful at a young age, you grew up smoothly, and there were few tribulations. Master Hou protected you very well. So I was also very worried, worried that you would not be able to withstand setbacks and would act extremes, especially because you are keen on martial arts. Especially since you're so smart."

"General Mei's structure is grand and far-reaching, and he is upright. He not only has the style of a general who is open and close, but also can play the tricks of the sword. He is a rare talent in my dynasty. I even think his talent is better than that of General Shao. If he is not in poor health...the only shortcoming is his cautiousness and independence, which makes it difficult to make friends, but perhaps, this is his political wisdom."

"You have been passionate and talented in martial arts since you were a child, so if you want to take this path, General Mei is the best teacher. He can teach you the art of war with dignity and will not make you lose yourself and only play tricks. A deceitful technique. The official went to invite me, and I also went to persuade him. In the end, he decided to go and see you in person."

Shui Qingqian listened silently, Grandpa Zhong's words explained a lot of his doubts.He had thought it strange before that during the same semester he was at the martial arts academy, General Mei also went from the Privy Council to give guest lectures at the martial arts academy.Of course, he was not familiar with the general at that time, and he knew nothing about the deployment of personnel within the military department. He just lamented that "the name of a person is the shadow of a tree." The level of other instructors is not at the same level.

The truth is: nothing is a coincidence!

"Civil and martial arts, very good, don't pay attention to those incompetent people in the court, you are destined to do great things. There will always be some clowns along the way, but you have to know, someone will clean it for you The weeds and gravel on the road, those people and things that don't matter, should never be on your mind." Speaking of this, Mr. Zhong pointed out the main point.

Therefore, his teacher was just worried that his father's departure would make him go too far. After all, the title of leading troops to kick the censor's office and then killing them was sensational enough.Shui Qingqian also knows that even if he doesn't take action, those people can't do anything to him. The eldest son of the Ningrenhou Mansion has countless backers, and each one is bigger than the other, such as the Chief Law Officer, such as Mr. Zhong, such as the official family, such as... …

"I'm just, I'm used to it. I make trouble and deal with it myself." Shui Qingqian has her own pride.

"It's good that you are like this." Of course, Mr. Zhong appreciates the independence of his disciples. He just told him, "But you still have a teacher, so you don't need to do everything yourself, huh?"

This is the thoughtfulness of the elders.

Maybe, because I really love him to the bottom of my heart, that lively little bird, that cute little one who makes the sky bright when he smiles, now looks like a real man and wants to shoulder his own responsibilities, but the parents are a little bit Lost, I hope he can slow down, slow down, and grow up.

Shui Qingqian stayed in the Zhong Mansion for half a month. In fact, it doesn't matter how long he stays. Even if it is only three or two days, Mr. Zhong can use this to send a signal: Zhong Juan, a contemporary great scholar, still cherishes his closed door. Disciple, there is absolutely no problem with Shui Qingqian's character and character, and his orthodox literary background has a good root, which cannot be questioned.military?Even if Shui Qingqian has a military rank, he is still talented in both civil and martial arts, and he can't tolerate any pedantic literati from Shui Qingqian's presence.Mr. Zhong's support for Shui Qingqian completely shattered those who wanted to put labels on Shui Qingqian.Of course, this kind of people haven't been jumping around for a few days. Ji Zhao and Shi Ke teamed up, Yu Shitai couldn't take care of himself, and the other part of the political speculators who were targeted by Ji Zhao were even more anxious.

Counting the days until the limelight passed, Shui Qingqian came out of Zhongfu.After walking a few steps, two Jin Wu guards jumped out of an ambush who didn't know where they were lying, and took him to an ordinary-looking blue felt car not far away. Please go in, and there is Ji Zhao, the dignified supervisor Prince.

Her heartbeat stopped for a beat, Shui Qingqian quickly lowered her head to cover it up, controlled her expression, raised her face with a look of disgust, "Why did you get such a car?"

Ji Zhao put the official document in his hand aside, raised his head slowly, and stared at the person, "Finally are you willing to come out from Mr. Zhong?"

Shui Qingqian's small eyes flickered, and she grinned, "Huh? Are you talking about magic?"

Ji Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Okay, just treat me as paranoid, I thought you were hiding from me."

At that moment, countless reactions rolled in Shui Qingqian's mind, ridiculing, prevaricating, acting cute, playing tricks... But in the end, he just lowered his head and remained silent.He is indeed a drinker, but he will not forget what he has done after drinking.Drunken mad or impulsive?He thinks neither.Let him explain in detail... Perhaps, this topic will eventually push his relationship with Brother Zhao to an embarrassing situation.Especially after what happened to Xie Ming, he understood his intentions better.

He missed seeing Shanhu off, and he didn't even know if it would be possible to meet again in this life. Xie Shanhu was almost his best friend for life, so good that he wore a pair of pants, so good that he lived and died together on the battlefield, but this loss Unfortunately, if compared with 'losing' Brother Zhao, he doesn't even want to make that kind of assumption.But that incident would very likely cause him to 'lose', he didn't dare to bet, he was persuaded, Xiao Feitian, who was always invincible, was actually persuaded!

Shui Qingqian has thought about the solution these days, and he has deduced all the tricks in his mind, but things like feelings are unpredictable and out of order.It's not that if you work hard, you will definitely get good results, so there is an old saying that "people's hearts are unpredictable", and it is the same when it comes to emotions.The 'safe' way that Shui Qingqian can think of is to procrastinate as long as possible, time is an eternal panacea.He wanted to downplay that matter, and this method of deceiving his ears and stealing the bell really made him feel that this matter could be procrastinated and turned into a small matter, and then, as long as the wind passed without a trace, he would act as if nothing happened... Although the method is vulgar , as long as it is easy to use.

Ji Zhao raised his hand to run along the little bird's fur, and asked softly, "It's been so many days, haven't you thought about it yet?"

"........."

Shui Qingqian didn't know what to say.But no matter how much time passed, he might not be able to really forget the impulsiveness at that time, but he would never apologize.

"I thought about it, really." Shui Qingqian looked up at him, "But I can't explain it to you, I, I can't give you a specific analysis of my behavior that day..."

"You don't need to explain to me, you never have to." Shui Qingqian's look of helplessness made Ji Zhao really distressed and helpless, he sat down next to Qingqian's shoulders, "I hope you can think clearly , what exactly do you want?"

what do i want?

Shui Qingqian avoided the other party's gaze, lowered her head and sneered, "Oh, I can have whatever I want!"

Ji Zhao, "No, you go and grab it."

Shui Qingqian turned her head in horror and stared at Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao, "If you can't grab it, you can ask me to grab it for you."

Shui Qingqian looked at him straight: Brother Zhao, do you know what you are abetting.Once the monster in my heart came out, I could no longer shut it up.

"Qingqian, we have known each other for ten years. I know you as deeply as you know me." Ji Zhao looked serious and dignified, "You will pursue what you like, but you will never deliberately keep it for yourself , your pride does not allow it; but if it is what you have, you will never allow others to covet it, and even the emperor and I will ignore it if you are overbearing. So I was thinking, if you snatch it, then I will never have to worry about you Regret halfway, shrink back and give up, even if there is an abyss ahead, and there are high mountains and obstacles, you will definitely face it side by side with me and actively fight. But if you don’t fight, unwilling or disdainful, snatch me..." Ji Zhao paused , the hand holding Shui Qingqian's shoulder tightened subconsciously, and only when it was tightened very tightly could he barely cover up his uncontrollable trembling fingers. Ji Zhao looked at him with burning eyes and almost paused every word, "Then change it." I come……"

"I've always been self-willed!" Shui Qingqian interrupted him suddenly, and responded to Ji Zhao with the same sharp eyes, "My father never did me wrong since I was young, and their love and unprincipled protection made me confident and resolute." Brave, I'm so favored by my elders that most of the time I don't even need to ask to get the best of it. Besides, I've got myriad tricks and tricks to get what I want, and I've never been really generous because As long as I think, I will always achieve my goal! But brother Zhao, dead objects are different from people."

"My parents taught me to respect life, my husband taught me to be humble, and my friends taught me with practical actions what understanding and giving are. In the loneliness of long inheritance, I learned self-control and emotional management. I don't want to let my desires go beyond My control, these days, I'm nervous, avoiding, worrying about gain and loss... I'm restraining, can't you see it?"

"Because of desire, after I really took that step, I can't turn back. It's been ten years. You are my brother and confidant. You have taught me and read my diary. You should know me best. What kind of temper is it: If you catch it, it’s mine! Don’t try to get your hands on it, gods block and kill gods! Buddhas block and destroy Buddhas!” Shui Qingqian’s last two sentences were murderous and overwhelming—both to kill himself , is also persecuting Ji Zhao—think about your future queen in the middle palace, think about your existing concubines, big and small, and more nameless harem candidates... The end of provoking me is that your entire palace will become one. In the tomb of the living dead, there will be no legitimate son to take your place, and no more children will be born, is it worth it?

In Qingqian's anger, her eyes were so bright that they seemed to fill the entire galaxy, beautiful and infinitely dangerous, but Ji Zhao smiled, "Qingqian, I can't change the past. I can even admit that even if I live it all over again, probably It will also come to this situation. Ten years ago, I met you, and I never had any affection for you at that time. It is a crime to be happy with you at the age of six; it is fate to love you at the age of 16."

"But I can work hard to make a future. I know exactly what I will face in the future. I have made active preparations and never backed down. Qingqian, I have seriously considered marrying a regular wife, giving birth to a legitimate son, extending the bloodline, and maintaining the rule of the empire." , but the price is to completely abandon you..."

This thought once made Ji Zhao feel extremely painful.

Everyone says that love is the spice of life and the icing on the cake of the meaning of life.But the family, descendants, ancestral temple, and the country are noble and inviolable.But the empire is here, and it has been running healthily, thanks to the efforts of all cabinet ministers and people.Ji Zhao can dedicate his personal talents and efforts to make the lives of his subjects happier. Afterwards, when he is a hundred years old, he can ensure that his descendants will have enough will and faith to continue along his path go on?No, let's not mention the long-term, don't forget, before reaching that step, there are still countless harem competitions and future heirs, from the former court to the harem, all the way is bloody, without exception.The eldest son may not be the final winner, even if he is, it is impossible to guarantee that the heir will suit his wishes in everything.Everyone has his own thoughts, good or bad, which are not under his control at all.To put it in a heart-breaking way, even if the emperor is rich in the world, what he can really control is only himself.

So, for the next 40 years, is he going to live like this?

If he gave up on marrying a wife, he would be giving up his bloodline inheritance... Throughout history, Ji Zhao discovered ironically that there was no difference at all, who would sit in that position, and bloodline inheritance has never been insignificant to the operation of the entire empire.It was the emperor who felt that his blood was very important, so he tried his best to design all these things to appear old-fashioned and important, and the rules became unbreakable and inviolable. It was simply the self-righteousness of a delusional person.Just like the lion king in the lion pride, he claims to be the king of the prairie, but all his status and dominance are nothing more than killing the cubs of other male lions to satisfy his own harem and bloodline vanity.

Just because of this, you want him to give up Qingqian?

Perhaps, Luzi's childhood diary and Ning Renhou's enlightenment teachings really had an immeasurable impact on Ji Zhao, and his thinking began to deviate from the mainstream values, or to put it another way, his insight into the world became more thorough.He wants to be pure and simple, he chooses to let the meaning of his life blossom from now on, and give up his heirs, if this is the price of choice, he, accept it!

"So, Qingqian, are you willing to walk down with me?"

Shui Qingqian only looked at him for a moment, but did not respond.

Ji Zhao pulled the man onto his lap and imprisoned him aggressively, "If you don't want to take me away, then I will take you away. I will bear all the difficulties by myself..."

Seal lips with a kiss.

Shui Qingqian let out the monster in her heart, and made such a happy decision.

Anyone who wants what he wants, don't forget to get his hands on it!
