Evolutionary History of Loyal Dogs

Turning around inadvertently, seeing a smear of white behind her, Tai Jiu stopped her pace, and continued to walk forward, but her pace slowed down a lot, the hand that was not carrying the pastry was tightly squeezed and released under the sleeve, but in the end she still did not turn her head .

"My lord! My lord, please stop!"

Hearing the voice from behind, Tai Jiu clenched his hands tightly, and one of his hands was slightly scratched by the pastry rope, but he just tried his best to suppress the thought of turning around, and kept walking forward, It's just that the pace is getting slower and slower.Hearing footsteps behind him, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Young master! Forgive me for taking the liberty," the visitor stood in front of Tai Jiu in white clothes, because he trotted over when he was chasing Tai Jiu just now, and his breathing was a little short.

"It's okay." As early as when this person was standing in front of him, Tai Jiu had already restrained his expression just now, with a deadpan expression, and his eyes were also faint, as if he didn't know this person. His hand exposed his restlessness, but unfortunately no one knows except him.

"My lord, I'm Xiadan Fenghua. I'm only fifteen years old. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to stay at your mansion for a few days?" After his breathing calmed down, the young man in white opened his mouth with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care about Tai. Nine's attitude.

Tai Jiu didn't open his mouth to answer, but just looked closely at the person in front of him, the white clothes and boots, the clothes were a little wrinkled, and the hem of the clothes had turned gray in a few places, probably because he was busy on his way.I don’t even know how to bring a bag when I go out!Just now, because of chasing him, there were still a few traces of rosiness on his face, and a few strands of hair fell on his chest, and he was about to make things difficult for him, but he saw the uneasiness and uneasiness in his eyes, and thought about talking about it later, so he opened his mouth and replied.

"How long will you stay?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to bother the mansion until I die of old age." Hearing Tai Jiu's question, it seemed to outsiders that he wanted to refuse, but the young man in white could hear a bit of dissatisfaction. After staying for a few days, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, my eyes were shining brightly, and I even replied with a bit of joy.

"En." After finishing speaking, Tai Jiu took the lead and walked away. After walking a few steps, he slowed down a little. When he felt the steps of the person behind him, he bent his eyes, and the hand under the sleeve robe Also gradually let go.

The two walked unhurriedly on the way back to the palace, and the young man in white at the back glanced at Tai Jiu's face from time to time, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of Tai Jiu's sleeve, but did not let go.

Tai Jiu felt the weight on the sleeve, and without looking back, stretched out his other hand to brush that hand off, and the hand that was grabbed by the sleeve earlier took the hand that didn't belong to him, the movement was natural and grabbing That hand didn't catch anything, Tai Jiu couldn't help but bend his eyes again, but his face turned black when he remembered something.

After entering the palace, he took the young man in white directly to the Spring and Autumn Palace. Although he hadn't come back in the past few years, his clothes were custom-made according to his approximate height and sent to the South Pavilion. It just happened to take him there to freshen up After a while, and then carefully counting the past few years, well, he must be severely punished.

As soon as he brought the man to the south pavilion, Lai Fu came to report that Mr. Zuo Xiang was waiting outside the door of the upper study room. Tai Jiu frowned, so he had to order Chun Ju to bring over the clothes, and wait for the man to freshen up first.

Chun Ju was a little surprised when she saw their Highness the Crown Prince, no, His Majesty the Emperor had brought back a person, but when she saw the face of the young man in white, her face showed a bit of understanding, but she still asked, "I don't know what to call the young man?"

"Just call Qingmu." Without waiting for Tai Jiu's answer, she spoke, and when she heard his answer, Tai Jiu turned her face to the side to look at it, and found that she had a gentle face just now, but now she was expressionless. The look on his face, coupled with the white clothes and white boots, has the aura of the former master of the country.

Tai Jiu just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but thought the timing was inappropriate, so he went to the study with Lai Fu first to see what Zuo Xiang was up to.

Sitting in the study room, Tai Jiu missed the person in the south pavilion again, and was unavoidably dissatisfied with Prime Minister Zuo, looking at Prime Minister Zuo with sharp eyes, but Prime Minister Zuo didn't care at all.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has the guts to ask, is it that Mr. Qing Mu who just came back with His Majesty?" He said boldly, but his face was calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong.Left Prime Minister Li Yan is a middle-aged man, probably because he didn't have much to do when he became Zuo Prime Minister, his body is a little fat, and he can no longer see the handsome appearance when he first entered the official career.

"I didn't know Zuo Xiang's hands and feet stretched so long, but he brought someone from outside the palace. He just entered the palace, and Mr. Zuo Xiang is already waiting." Tai Jiu looked deeply at Li Yan, he It was the person who fought with Tai Yi back then, oh no, his father, the emperor, thought that he was somewhat sincere, and did things with a sense of propriety, so he didn't touch him. It's just that he lived too many comfortable days. great.

Hearing Tai Jiu's words, Li Yan's originally calm face changed, and he knelt down immediately, and replied respectfully, "I dare not." time, but the means of the young emperor should not be underestimated.

"Hmph, if Prime Minister Zuo is getting old and wants to go home to take care of the elderly, you can just say it." After speaking, Tai Jiu ignored Prime Minister Zuo who was still kneeling on the ground, shook his sleeves, and walked away.

After Tai Jiu left, Li Yan stood up slowly, blaming him for being too conceited, thinking that with the merits of the year, no matter what, this person would not make things difficult for him, so after getting the news, he hurried over Inquire, but I didn't expect it.Forget it, after all, this court is the world of young people after all.

Ignoring Li Yan's various thoughts, Tai Jiu hurried back to the Spring and Autumn Palace, one was thinking that Qing Mu had been out for so long, and he was afraid that he would be a little uncomfortable with the life in the palace, and the other was that he was afraid of him and left without saying goodbye.

When he arrived at the Hall of Spring and Autumn, his pace slowed down. When he reached the South Pavilion, Tai Jiu stopped again, pacing back and forth outside, thinking about what he should do first when he went in, and asked him why he left without saying goodbye. , or ask him what happened to the name Dan Fenghua, or wait for him to speak up.

Before Tai Jiu could make a decision, Chun Ju, who had just come out of the South Pavilion, interrupted his various thoughts, "Your Majesty?"

"Yeah." Tai Jiu looked at Chun Ju, a little puzzled why she didn't serve Qing Mu inside, did she put Qing Mu inside alone?But Chunju doesn't seem like such a person who can't do things.

"Your Majesty wants to find Mr. Qingmu?" Seeing that Tai Jiu replied, but didn't ask, and thinking about the scene he saw just now, Chun Ju spoke again.

"Ah."

"Young Master Qingmu has returned to Guanxing Pavilion."

"Presumptuous! Who told him to go back? Is he the master or am I the master?" Hearing the news that Qing Mu had returned to Guanxing Pavilion, Tai Jiu's heart trembled, but his face didn't show it.After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chunju to reply, she went to Guanxing Pavilion angrily.

Even if Master Guoshi is gone, the Guanxing Pavilion will still be cleaned regularly, and there will be people waiting for Master Guoshi. When Qing Mu goes, the waiting people will respectfully welcome him in. , told him that the master of the state had left him something, and after Qing Mu agreed, they all withdrew.

When Tai Jiu stepped into Guanxing Pavilion, Qing Mu was reading the letter left by Master Guo Shi, when he heard footsteps hurriedly sandwiched in the book, pretending to turn the page.

"Guanxing Pavilion is the place where the masters of the state have lived since ancient times. It is better for Mr. Qingmu not to mess with the things here." Seeing Qingmu sitting there quietly reading a book, Tai Jiu's anger dissipated a lot. It's just that in Guanxing Pavilion, he was worried that the master of the national teacher would leave some words, such as making Qing Mu the national teacher, so the words he opened were naturally a little blunt.

Hearing Tai Jiu speak, Qing Mu closed the book in his hand, put it aside, walked to the table in the front hall and sat down, added two more cups of tea, "Jiuer, sit down and talk."

"You can call me Yuanbai instead." Walking to the other side and sitting down, Tai Jiu still said this sentence after thinking about it. Yuanbai is his word, and Jiu'er is what the general often calls, which is not appropriate anyway.

"Yuanbai? Tai Yuanbai?" Qing Mu glanced at Tai Jiu in surprise, called out twice, pondered for a moment, and then spoke. "Then you can call me Ahua. Dan Fenghua is my name. As for how I got here, I will tell you later."

"Hmm." Tai Jiu didn't look into Qing Mu's eyes, and responded in a low voice, but the tips of his ears were a little red.He picked up the characters himself when he was 16 years old. As for how he picked them up, I'm afraid he won't tell Qing Mu in this lifetime.The love is so deep, Yuan Jun wipes white.

It was quiet again for a while, but a faint warmth lingered between the two of them. Although there was a gap in each other's lives for a while, the tacit understanding was still there.

Before Tai Jiu could enjoy the long-lost silence, Qing Mu spoke again, with some bitterness mixed in between her words.

"Yuanbai, I can only live in Guanxing Pavilion."

"Did the national teacher leave something for you back then? Don't listen to him, okay?" Hearing Qing Mu's words, Tai Jiu's fingertips trembled, and even the tea in the cup shook slightly. None of these could compare to the fear in his heart right now.

Living in Guanxing Pavilion means being a national teacher.

The national teacher is like the direction of a country. He must maintain no desires and no thoughts, and cut off communication with the outside world.Except for the usual major festivals and particularly serious situations, the national teacher rarely even stepped out of the star-watching pavilion.The emperor can only enter the Guanxing Pavilion and ask the national teacher for help when the national teacher feels the will of heaven or encounters very difficult things.

If the relationship between the emperor and the national teacher is too close, the identity and ability of the national teacher will be doubted, and even his words and deeds will be criticized by people in the world.He doesn't care what other people think, but Qing Mu, he doesn't want others to talk about him.

"Since I came here six years ago, I have known that this is my destination after all." Qing Mu didn't say anything about the national teacher, but only talked about herself.

"Ah Hua, must it be you?"

"Because you are here, I am the national teacher." Qing Mu looked into Tai Jiu's eyes and said seriously. He didn't think it was a burden, but was delighted by it. Someone closer to Tai Jiu. "Our destiny is related, it is destined."

Tai Jiu didn't say anything anymore, and took a deep look at Qing Mu, stood up and walked out of the Guanxing Pavilion, but the whole person revealed a sad mood.

That night, the court and the people all got the news that His Majesty recognized the identity of the new national teacher, but he was not allowed to call the Qing Mu national teacher, but called Qing Mu Lord.
