Did the salted fish turn over today?

Not far away, two tall and thin men walked by, and Wu Yichen's gaze followed them all the way.

"I always thought there were no men in the dance hall!" Wu Yichen turned to Ning Ziyuan in surprise.

But I heard Ning Ziyuan say: "Of course there are, it's just that there are fewer men, and they are strictly controlled on weekdays, so they can't come out at will."

Wu Yichen nodded: "No wonder."

Ning Ziyuan smiled: "Most of these girls went to tease the musicians in the music workshop because they were having fun. In fact, each of them knows better than the other. They are a bunch of poor children, and most of them were convicted by the same family as me. I was fined and confiscated, so I kept in mind the rules and regulations since I was a child, and I didn't dare to go overboard."

"Don't look at them laughing and joking with you now, but as long as you find out that you have other thoughts about them, you can help the girls hide much faster than you!"

Wu Yichen shrugged nonchalantly: "Don't worry! It won't happen!"

Ning Ziyuan frowned: "Oh! So confident? The girls in our dance workshop are very good!"

The two were talking and laughing in the front room, when a white figure flashed past the moon gate, the guard girl shouted with a smile: "Young Master Jiang is back!"

Wu Yichen saw the boy in white running all the way to the bottom of the stage.

When Ning Ziyuan saw the boy, her eyes lit up and she immediately laughed: "You're back!"

The young man blushed, nodded heavily to her with a smile, Wu Yichen tilted his head and looked at the young man, the young man seemed to be about the same age as himself, probably because he hadn't grown up yet, his eyebrows looked a little delicate.

The young man also saw Wu Yichen on the stage, his smile disappeared immediately, and he asked Ning Ziyuan, "Who is he?"

Hearing his bad tone, Wu Yichen jumped off the stage unhappy and stood behind Ning Ziyuan.Ning Ziyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang is here to find Prince Liu? The prince has been in the Taile Department recently, and rarely comes to the dance workshop."

"I know." The boy said, and looked at Wu Yichen with unfriendly eyes.

Wu Yichen was inexplicably stared at by him, and stared back unconvinced.Seeing this, Ning Ziyuan quickly pulled him back, and introduced: "This is Mr. Jiang Yao from Xinguo's family, and he is cousin to Lord Liu."

Liu Yuan's cousin?No wonder it's so annoying!Just like his cousin!

Ning Ziyuan silently walked between the two to separate them, and said to Jiang Yao with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, do you want to go to Tai Le Department to look for the prince?"

"I didn't come to look for him." Jiang Yao said dejectedly, "Forget it..." Turned around and walked out.

Wu Yichen moaned and said, "This guy is really interesting! What kind of attitude!"

Ning Ziyuan explained: "Jiang Yao is the only son of Duke Xin's family. He is the daughter of the Duke's wife. The wife is the aunt of Liu Yuan, the sister of Queen Liu. He was sent to the palace to grow up since he was a child. When I was young, I followed Liu Yuan in the dance workshop, and Liu Yuan and I watched it grow up, the young master of the family! It's normal to be like this."

Wu Yichen was still very dissatisfied, and by the way, even Liu Yuan complained, and he noticed something was wrong while talking: "You said, Mrs. Jiang is Liu Yuan's aunt? No, since she is the younger sister of Empress Liu, If Liu Yuan is adopted by the queen, then it should be the aunt?"

"This..." The corners of Ning Ziyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she said in deliberation, "Because...the Empress Liu of the late emperor was a man."

Wu Yichen: "?????"

Ning Ziyuan blinked at him.

Wu Yichen: "!!!!!!"

Ning Ziyuan shrugged: "You heard me right, Empress Liu is a man, and before entering the palace, she was the only grandson of the old general's family."

"No wonder... I said why the late emperor would adopt the prince to the empress's family. I didn't expect..." Wu Yichen muttered, "But... the male queen! This is too shocking!"

"The court of the first emperor was too complicated, and I can't explain it clearly." Ning Ziyuan said helplessly, "I only know that Empress Liu was forced to marry into the palace back then, but later she fell in love with the first emperor. , the two are very affectionate."

Wu Yichen felt that his world view had been refreshed. In the enlightened modern times, some countries still regard homosexuality as a scourge. In such feudal ancient times, there will be a male queen!She is also a male queen who can adopt a prince!

"And ah!" Ning Ziyuan said mysteriously, "After the death of the first emperor, it is said that Empress Liu voluntarily died in the imperial tomb."

Wu Yichen's jaw dropped again, and Ning Ziyuan patted him on the back with an old-fashioned attitude and said, "Calm down, calm down, I knew this situation at the time, it's similar to your feeling, just get used to it, just get used to it!"

Tai Le Department.

As soon as Liu Yuan and Wang Ruobin returned to the Tai Le Department from outside, they were bumped into by Jiang Yao, and Wang Ruobin yelled: "Mr. Jiang is back, and the Duke sent him away?"

Jiang Yao didn't bother to answer, put his hands on the table, and forced Liu Yuan to ask, "Who is he?"

Liu Yuan recently pursued Tan Zhengcheng's matter, and his mind was full of Tan Zhengcheng's life experience, and he was completely confused by his nonsensical question: "What?"

"Following her! That kid in pink clothes!" Jiang Yao asked, "Who the hell is that?"

Liu Yuan looked at Wang Ruobin suspiciously, "Who's there?"

"Bao inquire" Wang Ruobin immediately explained: "Master Ning often takes young musician Wu to the dance workshop recently, and the two of them walk very close. The girls in the dance workshop all say that Mr. Ning has adopted a younger brother."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Liu Yuan raised his forehead, "One tossing is not enough, here comes another one!"

Wang Ruobin said helplessly: "You've been too busy recently, Master Ning didn't see you, so he didn't tell you."

Looking at the angry Jiang Yao, Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes puzzledly: "No, what does Ning Ziyuan accept a younger brother have to do with you?"

Wang Ruobin didn't understand either, and crossed his arms to see how he would explain, but Jiang Yao threw down a sentence: "It has nothing to do with me!" Turned around and left.

Seeing the young man flinging out like a wind, Liu Yuan choked his breath in his throat, feeling that his heart was about to miss a beat: "You bastards! Can there be a peace of mind?"

Wang Ruobin was obviously used to him being so old-fashioned, so he didn't argue with him, and just watched the play with his arms folded.

Being interrupted by Jiang Yao, it took Liu Yuan a long time to think of what he was going to do, and he turned to Wang Ruobin and said, "The final competition will be in two days, what's the situation with the Rites and Music Division?"

Wang Ruobin replied: "Tan Zhengcheng has always been in power, and he will not let Lord Ning interfere too much. The matter of His Majesty going to the Tianyin Pavilion before was done on purpose. The intention is probably to get rid of Xiao Wu Musician. Lord Ning doesn't know what he will do next. If you want to do anything, you can only use an excuse to accept your younger brother, take Xiao Wu Musician by your side, and protect him first before talking."

Liu Yuan thought: "That green bamboo is still elusive, can't find whereabouts?"

"Yes, but it turns out that he and Tan Zhengcheng seem to have some relationship." Wang Ruobin took out a piece of paper from his girdle and handed it over, "After all, Qingzhu's Nanguan teacher came out of the palace."

Liu Yuan pointed at him: "You go and continue to investigate, and I will find out in one day."

Wang Ruobin choked suddenly: "One day??" Thinking of the pile of letters from Northwest in his hand, his scalp felt numb.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yuan asked back, "There will be a competition in two days, so we can deal with it if we find out in one day."

"Since you returned to Beijing, you have been busy with these trivial matters of Tai Le Department." Wang Ruobin reminded, "Have you forgotten who you are? Or are you... really planning to change hands of the general as rumored?"

Liu Yuan smiled and asked back: "Isn't it good for the military power to change hands? I am happy and at ease."

"That's the Liu family army!!" Wang Ruobin was in a hurry, "The army established by the four generations of the Liu family in the northwest, if you don't want it, you don't want it?! It's the painstaking efforts of the old general Liu and the queen Liu!"

Liu Yuan said helplessly: "The Liu family has no descendants. Before the great-grandfather passed away, he intended to hand over the military power. It was only because of me that this matter was shelved."

"You will have descendants!" Wang Ruobin shouted.

"No." Liu Yuan interrupted him: "I will not have descendants."

Wang Ruobin frowned in confusion, Liu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Ritual Music Square.

The final competition will be two days later, looking at Qingzhu's empty bed, Wu Yichen is a little worried, he really doesn't want Qingzhu to do something stupid.

In the middle of the night in the courtyard, Wu Yichen was sitting under the tree, he still decided to talk to Qingzhu, but instead of Qingzhu, Liuyuan came.

Wu Yichen stood up at a loss, nodded timidly at him, Liu Yuan stopped opposite him, and the two of them just stood there in silence.

Wu Yichen: "I'm sorry..."

Liu Yuan: "Sorry..."

After staring at each other in surprise, the two fell into an awkward silence.

Wu Yichen broke the deadlock and spoke first: "I misunderstood you earlier, I apologize to you..."

Liu Yuan smiled indifferently: "It's nothing..."

"But who told you to hide it from me!" Wu Yichen yelled dissatisfied before he finished speaking, "If you tell me clearly, there won't be so many things! Right and wrong, the overall situation is the most important thing. I can still I understand! Don't always take me for a fool!"

Liu Yuan: "..."

How can this kid just explode?It's as if he wasn't the one who apologized humbly just now!

Before Liu Yuan could speak, Wu Yichen lowered his head again, and said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry..."

Now Liu Yuan lost his temper completely, waved his hand weakly and said: "Don't talk about this, the final competition will be in one day, you should know it?"

Wu Yichen hummed and nodded, Liu Yuan said to him: "The court officials who involved the late emperor have almost been eliminated. I'm worried that Tan Zhengcheng will jump over the wall in a hurry. You have to pay attention to your own safety and stay away from that place called Qingzhu."

Wu Yichen hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell him: "I... just wanted to talk to Qingzhu..."

After speaking, he immediately lowered his head, waiting to be scolded.But Liu Yuan let out a long sigh: "I know it's hard for you to change. Personality is not something that can be changed just by changing it, but you are no longer a student. The workplace and society are not as simple as you think. It's still the same sentence. , the heart of defense is indispensable, you have to be careful."

Seeing Wu Yichen's hesitation to speak, Liu Yuan raised his chin and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"I'm not a fool..." Wu Yichen murmured, "I know there is something wrong with Qingzhu, I will definitely be careful, but you despise me again..."

Liu Yuan has met so many children, Wu Yichen was the first one who blocked him speechless.It's not because he's more reasonable, but because your reasoning doesn't seem to work on his side.

Wu Yichen saw a piece of white clothes flashing by in the dimly lit place, immediately pushed Liu Yuan away forcefully, ran over and dragged away the green bamboo that had just stepped into the far door.
