Live together with Qing

After the empress's wedding, Murong Duan helped Wei Changsheng to ask for a reward from the emperor, promoted him to three ranks, became the sixth rank, and had to go to court every day.Going out early and coming back late made Wei Changsheng miss that short period of time from the ninth rank very much, because even the ninth rank was not enough, so he could sleep at home until the light of day.How is it now? In the middle of the night, Murong Duan from the next room picked him up to change into court clothes, freshen up and dress, and had to wait outside the palace gate just after Yinshi. I haven't arrived yet, I haven't slept enough for eight hours, brother.

Several times he fell asleep staring dazedly on the way to court, with his head bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice, and somehow he rested his head on Murong Duan's shoulder. In court clothes, Wei Changsheng just wanted to close his eyes and continue seeing Duke Zhou.

As a night owl who used to go to bed late and get up late, Wei Changsheng felt that he was going to be bald soon.

Moreover, the official of the sixth rank is not very big, he stands very far away from the throne, and he has not even seen what the emperor looks like.After getting off the court, he had to rush to Yizhi non-stop. There was no Murong Duan's car to ride on this section of the road, and whenever it rained or snowed, he would suffer unspeakably.

Chengli went to Bieyuan to recuperate and has not come back yet. Chen Shilang from the Catering Department and Gu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites ignored the affairs of the Wensi Department.

Then, he encountered a hot job. The emperor ordered the new queen of the Southern Red Kingdom, Bai Hua, to come to Dongqingdu for an audience in the month of Mengchun.

Originally, this work can be left out of his control. After all, the two monarchs of Xichi City and Beimingzhou both visited during the sacrificial ceremony. The bad thing about being alone is that after half a month, this Bai Hua couldn't come because of his illness, so he arranged for Bai He, a well-known witch in the Southern Chi Kingdom, who was also her own sister, to come instead of her.

Miko, what level is this, and what treatment should I enjoy?Everyone in Yizhi fell into a low ebb again. After searching the collection for two days, there was no historical record for reference.

Now, Si Tian's department was boiling.After all, this Bai He is a psychic who has been rarely seen for hundreds of years. If Si Tian's people can't suppress her in momentum, not to mention losing the face of the Tian family, it may not be possible to keep Si Tian's independent position just now.So Ding Ziyong, Si Tian's new minister, volunteered to take the lead in this audience with the saint.

However, although the idea is good, there are few people in the Sitian Department, and Yizhi must come forward to help in this matter.Chen Shilang and Gu Shilang had watched Ding Shangshu, who used to be equal in the past, be promoted to a level out of thin air, pressing on their heads, and kept holding back their anger. Now that they heard that the Department of Sitian needed help, hurry up Play dead.

Master Cheng Licheng, who was far away in the sky, received the news from the Ministry, also said that he could not afford to be ill, and expressed his spiritual support.

So this matter still fell on Wei Changsheng.

"Who the hell is this holy woman?" Wei Changsheng picked up a thick pile of paperwork in front of him with one hand, muttered to himself, picked up a few small oranges on the plate with one hand, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Sitting across from him is Xiao Chao, who is carefully peeling oranges.

Wei Changsheng changed his costume today, and "Second Master Chen" finally showed up again in Jianghu. If Murong Duan hadn't entered the palace very frequently recently, and his subordinates were too busy protecting his master, he wouldn't be able to get away so easily.

He knew that Murong Duan's subordinates had been watching him secretly, especially when he went to some places that he didn't usually go to, those familiar figures and the eyes he deliberately ignored always hovered around his side.

Murong Duan's spies, like their master, are conservative and old-fashioned, but they are self-righteous.

It's not that Wei Changsheng can't get rid of them, but he just feels that he hasn't gained a firm foothold for the time being, and there's no need to put Xiaochao and the others at risk of exposure. Besides, he's not here, so let's see how the little birds deal with themselves, isn't it? Give them a chance to exercise?

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Cheng Li, who was throwing his hands away at the shopkeeper, and scolded his mother through gritted teeth.

"Xiaochao, do we have our own people over there in the Southern Red Kingdom?" Wei Changsheng spat out a bunch of orange seeds. This Dongqingdu is good everywhere, but there are fewer varieties of melons and fruits, and they are all apples. Oranges and watermelons are only available in summer, and he has never seen half of his favorite banana.

"One of my own?" Xiaochao finished peeling the last orange on the tea tray, and asked Xiao Wu beside him to take the orange peels piled up on the tray into a tower to bask in the sun. Master Hou said that the dried orange peels can be used to make tea, You can also make soup.

"We never communicate with people outside of Beimingzhou." Xiao Chao thought for a while and said cautiously.He has grown a lot taller these days, and his trousers have shrunk to his calf. Wei Changsheng asked him to buy new clothes a few times. .When Wei Changsheng realized that he was really not afraid of the cold, he let it go. Even a child can be the master of his own life.

"It seems that we can only look up the ancient books of the ritual system." Wei Changsheng originally came to see them, but he didn't intend to ask them to inquire about them.

Xiaochao smiled slyly, "We don't know anyone in Nanchi Country, so there are people from Nanchi Country coming to Dongqingdu."

Wei Changsheng slapped his thigh, "I really have you." He hurried back to the inner room and turned over Wei Changsheng's manuscript. There was indeed a category named "Nanchi" in it, which recorded the guests who came and went from south to north in the winery and restaurant to discuss about News from the Southern Chi Kingdom.It's just that after Wei Yingcai took over the body, this kind of news was rare, so he didn't have much impression.

Why has there been no relevant news for more than two years?

"I heard that I just heard someone say it. It seems that their witch said that Nanchi Kingdom should temporarily suspend commerce and trade with the outside world and retreat for a few years." Seeing that Wei Changsheng was lost in thought, Xiaochao handed Pass an orange.

"Oh." Wei Changsheng asked casually, "What did the Southern Red Kingdom sell before?"

"Fruits, and spices." Xiaochao was a little annoyed, "Their fruits are very delicious, many varieties are not common, some are yellow like cucumbers, and there are big purple apples with white hearts inside. Yes, soft ones. Oh, they’re not common anyway, only dignitaries can afford them, and they’re only available in fruit shops..."

With a click, Wei Changsheng broke the pen in his hand, it should be bananas and dragon fruit!

When Wei Changsheng and Murong Duan were having dinner at night, he couldn't help but asked again, "Is this witch from the Southern Red Kingdom very powerful? I've looked through many classics, but there's not even a single word about her."

Murong Duan looked at his tasteless appearance, and shook his head, "This Bai He was only enshrined as a witch in the past two years, and she was just an unknown woman before, so naturally no one wrote a book about her. .”

"I heard from Si Tian's colleagues that she can communicate with spirits, and can predict the future by looking at the sky. How amazing?" Wei Changsheng put down his chopsticks, raised his cheeks, and wondered if this witch could see What Beimingzhou planned secretly, he wouldn't be caught out in court at some point.

"Eat." Murong Duan was angry and funny, this kid has been restless lately, it seems that this time the errand is quite stressful.

"A lot of these are just rumors. No one has ever seen a witch. She never leaves the Southern Chi Kingdom." Murong Duan picked up a chopstick of mutton for him. growing day by day.

"Oh? So the monarchs of various countries didn't pay her for a divination?" Wei Changsheng laughed.

Murong Duan paused for a moment with his chopsticks, "Do you think everyone is blinded by money, just like you?"

Wei Changsheng glanced at Murong Duan, "If I don't earn money, where can I get the money to pay for the adult's room?" He resentfully took a bite of the mutton, um, it's delicious, and when the time comes, his restaurant will also introduce this dish. Vegetables, eating mutton tonic in winter, will definitely make a fortune.

"Oh, has anyone seen a witch, what does she look like?" Wei Changsheng swallowed the mutton in his mouth, suddenly thought of something, and smiled crookedly, "Is the witch very beautiful, is she still unmarried?" , do you want to use a beauty trick to keep her in Dongqingdu..."

Murong Duan slapped his chopsticks on the table, his face darkened, "Wei Changsheng, just say what you said in front of me. If you dare to say a word outside, I will..."

Then he didn't continue talking, and watched Wei Changsheng's smiling face fleetingly in annoyance, and changed back to a look of hanging head and ear, "Yes, my lord, I won't make mistakes." Then he put down the bowl with his hands lowered Chopsticks, get up and leave the table.

Murong Duan was very restless, dropped the bowl and chopsticks and chased after him.The lonely figure in front made him feel very distressed. He was worried that Wei Changsheng would recall the old incident in the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He had been reluctant to bring up that incident.

"Changsheng, do you know that witches are not allowed to marry, she must remain a child to be eligible."

"I don't know." Wei Changsheng replied very quickly and lightly.

"Ah?" Murong Duan looked at Wei Changsheng in astonishment and turned to look at himself, his face was full of anger.

"I said, I don't know! Even if I know that saintesses can't marry, can't I even make a joke? My lord, you have to be rigid and blackmail me with what I say?" Wei Changsheng suddenly raised his voice and shouted A pass.

Those who ride horses are really annoying, they have to be so hypocritical when they say anything!

Having been together day and night for so long, he wasn't sure if Murong Duan liked men, or even women, maybe he didn't like Murong Duan personally!

The chickens, ducks and geese in the yard were dead silent, and the air was a little depressed. Only then did Wei Changsheng remember that the cook had used them to make soup for himself these days.

"Longevity." Murong Duan's tone was full of helplessness. "It was I who took your joke seriously, and to be more serious, you..."

Then he saw Wei Changsheng's eye circles suddenly turned red, and his shoulders shrugged slightly.

Sure enough, he was still a child.Murong Duan sighed inwardly, he felt that his feelings for Wei Changsheng were very complicated, mixed with his own loss of missing childhood, and a sense of responsibility to protect him.

This should be the emotion of being a teacher and a brother.Murong Duan comforted himself.

"Changsheng." Murong's mouth softened again, "You are an official of the ritual system, so be cautious in your words and deeds. I am afraid that you will be framed by people with ulterior motives."

Put your X's P, Wei Changsheng thought darkly, most likely you think what I said is that I let you take the initiative to sacrifice yourself to the witch, and swept away the face of your Lord Shangshu.

It was rare to see Murong Duan submissive, his mood eased a little, but he thought of another question, "My lord, tell me, what if the emperor takes a fancy to the witch?"

Then he saw Murong Duan opened his mouth wide, raised his hand with an expression of "rotten wood can't be carved", and was about to slap himself.

Fuck me, the crow's mouth!Wei Changsheng suddenly remembered that the emperor beheaded an official in the hall today because the man talked nonsense after drinking, and talked about the corruption of the emperor's private life, which is a well-known topic.

As for how what the man said at home reached the emperor's ears, Wei Changsheng didn't dare to think about it, and shuddered.

Wei Changsheng thought to himself, he was not wronged by this slap, so he didn't hide and closed his eyes.

"Hey!" A heavy breath passed by his ear.He quietly opened his eyes, and looked at Murong Duan standing less than a foot away from him, his eyes were quite tangled.

"Come with me to the study." Murong Duan turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and Wei Changsheng had no choice but to follow obediently.
