Thank you sir, he is still outputting!

This year, it will soon be the day when Shengshang will go to Chengyuan's mountain villa for summer vacation.

Qin Houde naturally wanted to take Xie Zhao there.However, the imperial decree hadn't been issued yet, but Xie Zhao took the initiative to enter the palace and declined his kindness.

In the Hall of Martial Ying, Xie Zhao played chess with Qin Houde, and said softly: "With the Taibao at the side of the Holy Master, it will not be of much use if I go to Chengyuan."

The persistent sunspots were placed on the chessboard, and there was a light snap.Xie Zhao smiled: "Since that's the case, I might as well stay in the capital and look after these officials staying in the capital for you."

Qin Houde caressed the smooth chess piece in his hand, looking at the intricate chess game, his brows gradually frowned.As if he didn't hear Xie Zhao's words, he didn't answer for a long while.

After the stick of incense was burned, Qin Houde put the white pieces on the chessboard.Consciously finding life for Bai Zi, he relaxed, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and raised his eyes to tease Xie Zhao who was sitting across from him: "I still remember this time last year, when you complained to me that the weather in Jiangnan was much hotter than Jiangnan, and it was faster Roasted you."

He smiled: "Why, it's only been a year, and our lord Xiao Xie has already overcome the scorching heat of the capital, and become invincible?"

"Actually, I still feel that the summer in the capital is difficult."

Qin Houde thought for a while and came up with a solution. Xie Zhao simply glanced at the chessboard, quickly put down the black pieces, and blocked the white pieces again.

After putting down the chess pieces, Xie Zhao replied honestly: "But there are ice cubes in Yushitai, and there are pavilions and bamboo shades in the minister's mansion. As long as you don't walk around under the scorching sun, there must be a way to pass the summer."

Qin Houde looked at the chessboard for a long time, pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find out the solution.

Angrily and helplessly, he put the chess pieces back into the chess jar, and was a little annoyed at Xie Zhao: "I thought hard to find a way to break your game, but you changed hands and easily put me in a desperate situation, it's really annoying .”

Qin Houde glared at Xie Zhao: "Well, Xie Zhao, why don't you know how to let me go." He sighed, "At least you have to put on an appearance to fool people, so that I won't lose so quickly."

Xie Zhao looked at him innocently, and complained for himself: "But, it was you who told me not to release the water, and must show the usual standard."

Well, that's right.

Qin Houde had nothing to say to the accusing eyes of the honest man Xie Zhao.Angrily, he was amused by himself, and began to lower his head and put the pieces on the chessboard back into the chess jar one by one, intending to play another game with Xie Zhao.

After the chessboard was cleared, Qin Houde switched his chess pot with Xie Zhao's chess pot: "This time I will play black pieces."

The chess game starts again.

Qin Houde put down Heizi, and continued to respond to Xie Zhao's refusal to go to Chengyuan: "You don't want to go to Chengyuan with me, and I can't tie you up. If that's the case, then you stay in Beijing and watch over for me. Did the officials in Beijing take advantage of my absence to do some bad things?"

After a pause, he straightened his back suddenly, and asked, "—Xie Zhao, are you afraid of the Taibao, that's why you didn't go?"

The more Qin Houde thought about it, the more he felt that he had found the key.

Thinking of going to Chengyuan to escape the summer heat every year, and the Taibao would conscientiously follow him, Qin Houde suddenly felt that he finally understood the reason why Xie Zhao did not go to Chengyuan this year.

He sighed and said from the bottom of his heart: "If it's because of the Taibao, I understand."

Although the Taibao was dedicated to his duties, he barely had to urge people to do things by his ears every day. Even Qin Houde, as the emperor, was tortured by the Taibao to the point of exhaustion.

He really couldn't understand how much the Taibao didn't trust him, and why he followed Chengyuan every year like this?

What Qin Houde didn't know was that it wasn't that the Taibao didn't trust him.

Taibao just trusted himself more.

Xie Zhao didn't know why Qin Houde attributed his reason for not going to Chengyuan to the Taibao. He explained dumbfoundingly: "My lord, it has nothing to do with the Taibao if I don't go to Chengyuan."

He explained: "This is my own idea."

Qin Houde consciously figured out the reason, and put his mind on the chessboard again.

He stared at the chessboard closely, and said perfunctorily, "Well, that's your own idea."

Xie Zhao couldn't laugh or cry.

Putting down another pawn, he remembered that he still had other tasks on his shoulders, so he hesitated and said, "My lord, I have one more thing to say..."

Qin Houde asked: "What's the matter?"

"Well...Master He said that he didn't want to go either..."

Qin Houde put the sunspots heavily on the chessboard: "It turns out that He Fang, a guy who is not afraid of anything, is going to shy away from the Taibao now!"

Qin Houde hated it for a while, but soon he said with full understanding: "But...you can understand."

... What do you understand?

Xie Zhao was dumbfounded: Mr. He just thought it was too tiring to ride a carriage, and the life in the villa was boring, so why did he shy away from the Taibao?

Although the Taibao is strict, it is not a scourge, and it will not make the two famous censors of Yushitai retreat together.

Xie Zhao just wanted to explain, but saw a maid in a blue plain shirt walked in quickly with her head down, bent and knelt in front of Qin Houde.

The maid pressed her head to the ground, and her voice was anxious: "I beg you to go up and see the princess. The princess hasn't eaten a grain of rice or drank a drop of water for two whole days!"

When the maid raised her head, Xie Zhao recognized that this person was Zi Wan, the maid who was always by Jingyi's side.

The princess didn't eat or drink for two whole days?

Xie Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and some unbelievable guesses came to his mind: ... Could it be because of Liao Qingfeng?

Hearing Zi Wan's words, Qin Houde's eyes flashed a trace of irritability.He squeezed the chess piece more vigorously, and did not look at Zi Wan, but still kept his eyes on the chessboard.

Qin Houde put the chess pieces on the board, and said coldly: "If you don't eat it, don't eat it, if you have the ability, starve yourself to death - go back and tell Jingyi, if she really starves herself to death, I will give it to you right away." Liao Qingfeng assigned a marriage."

He snorted and said, "You dare to threaten me? If a little girl can really grab her so easily, I've been emperor for decades."

It turned out that it was really for Liao Qingfeng...

Xie Zhao was dumbfounded, and looked at Princess Jingyi with admiration in his heart: Who would have thought that Princess Jingyi has such deep affection for Liao Qingfeng, that she still has the courage to go on a hunger strike to threaten the Holy Majesty?

Liao Qingfeng left gracefully, but left Princess Jingyi feeling sad for him in the capital.

Hey, what a mess.

Hearing Qin Houde's words, Zi Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help shivering.

She grew up serving the princess since she was a child, so she naturally knew that the princess liked Lord Liao for many years.The princess went on a hunger strike recently, also because she wanted to force the saint to send the princess to Lord Liao's side.

But if you know that if you continue the hunger strike, the Holy Majesty will arrange a marriage for Mr. Liao...

Zi Wan swallowed her throat and quickly got up from the ground.

She pretended to be calm and said: "This servant will tell the princess immediately, the princess must start eating immediately!"

Seeing Zi Wan leave, Xie Zhao couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "My lord, princess, is this...?"

Qin Houde replied indifferently: "The little girl just can't think about it for a while."

He whispered: "When Jingyi grows up a bit, she will know that I am doing this for her own good. Liao Qingfeng is indeed a rare young talent, but the border environment is harsh and not as comfortable as the capital."

He summed it up with the words that most parents in the world would say: "Girls, it's better to keep them by your side."

Qin Houde has only one daughter, Jingyi, and she has been responsive to Jingyi's requests all these years.

Jingyi also respects and loves Qin Houde, and will act like a normal daughter. Qin Houde has doted on Jingyi for many years, so even though she knows that Jingyi likes Liao Qingfeng, she is still reluctant to let Jingyi and Liao Qingfeng go to the border.

As if thinking of something, Qin Houde narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Zhao thoughtfully: "Xie Zhao, what do you think of this child Jingyi?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhao, who was on fire, turned pale with fright, and almost fell the chess pieces with his fingers on the chessboard.

He was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands, and said nervously: "The princess is fine, but the minister has her own heart."

Do you belong?

Qin Houde curled his lips: "You and Jingyi are exactly the same, you are both young and can't think about it for a while."

Although Qin Houde is very interested in matching Xie Zhao and Jingyi, but these two people are heartless and have no intention of concubine, and it is boring to insist on being tied together.In the end, Qin Houde regretfully gave up his idea.

After learning about Xie Zhao's refusal to go to Chengyuan, Pei Shaonan understood, "Is it because a certain person didn't go this year, and Mr. Xie didn't want to go either?"

Xie Zhao pretended to be calm: "Yes, because Mr. Liao didn't go to Chengyuan, so I don't plan to go either."

"Oh, so it's because of Lord Liao."

Pei Shaonan snorted, "I thought it was for another person."

Xie Zhao coughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Lord Pei must listen to the Taibao more and do more in Chengyuan."

Naturally, Pei Shaonan will follow Chengyuan this year.

Hearing Xie Zhao's schadenfreude, he responded with a half-smile, waved his sleeves and left.

At the beginning of July, Qin Houde went to Chengyuan with a group of people.At the risk of heat stroke, Taibao followed him as usual.

It is worth mentioning that Jingyi did not escape this trip to Chengyuan.Qin Houde made up his mind to bring Jingyi with him and keep a close eye on him, for fear that Jingyi would do something stupid while he was away.

As Xie Zhao said before, although the summer in the capital is tough, as long as you stay indoors, you can live this day.

Perhaps because of the sweltering weather, the officials were all huddled in the mansion, so there was no time to go out and cause trouble.King Cheng was still introspecting at his own mansion, and the crown prince was respectful and restrained. Although Qin Houde was not in the capital, the capital was still in good order.

Xie Zhao was happy to be at leisure, so he took a fan and fanned himself vigorously every day.There is also a huge word "Hot" written on that fan, the handwriting is elegant and elegant, but it brings an unspeakable sense of joy when paired with this word, which makes He Fang unceremoniously laugh a few times every time he sees him fanning the wind. Voice.

Time flows like water, and in a blink of an eye it is the Qiqiao Festival.

It was a lively festival, and Xie Zhao was swept out of the house by Bingwen again with a heavy purse.

Pei Shaonan also left, this time he really can only wander around alone.

Xie Zhao sighed softly and walked aimlessly on the street.The streets are full of young men and women traveling together in twos and threes, but he is alone, really lonely.

I still remember that last year when I was begging in Chengyuan, Xie Zhao was still playing and playing with other people on the boat, but who knew that this year he was the only one left.

Thinking of the lotus lanterns he put up last year, Xie Zhao thought: I don’t know if there is such an activity in the capital city?

It's a pity that when he got to the ferry, he found that there was only a small boat docked on the bank, and the river surface was clean, without a single lotus lantern.

Xie Zhao lost his mind and didn't know where to go, so he just boarded the boat.

The surface of the river was sparkling, and the moonlight was gentle, covering people all over. Xie Zhao stood at the bow of the boat, casually glanced at the stern, and his eyes quickly froze.

The galaxy weighs on the boat, and the whole body is full of brilliance.

The boatman wearing a bamboo hat raised his head, revealing his pale but delicate jaw.As if he thought Xie Zhao's unbelievable expression was very interesting, he tilted his head slightly, looked at Xie Zhao quietly with clear and gentle eyes, and showed a very light and shallow smile.

The young man stood at the stern of the boat with picturesque eyebrows and asked with a smile, "May I ask where you are going, my lord?"

The next moment, the hull shook.

Xie Zhao strode from the bow to the stern, and threw himself into the arms of the young man.

The tip of the nose is a familiar medicinal scent.

Xie Zhao put his arms around the young man's waist, buried his face on the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, wherever you take me, I will go."
