Destiny of crossing

I found a very dumbfounding problem, that is, when you want to see someone in every possible way, it is very difficult to achieve it even if you try your best, but when you don’t need to meet again, he comes running by himself, and there is no place to hide if you want to. .

At Xiangliandu, I didn't put on makeup, so my face was not difficult to recognize, and then the emperor found out that I was a man. Now, I'm afraid that if I turn my head, I will be recognized immediately.

I turned my gaze to Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan turned his eyes, and pulled me down: "The emperor is here, what are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and see him?"

I looked at the solid ground and resented the unequal imperial autocracy of this era. Although I was reluctant, I couldn't do it with my temper right now.So he had no choice but to kneel down, his face almost touching the ground: "Cao Min pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

As soon as I finished speaking, Xie Xuan immediately picked it up: "Your Majesty, this is my servant who just arrived. I have never met a big man, and I don't know much about the rules. Please don't take offense, Your Majesty." What are you doing, why don't you go back and do something?"

I was secretly happy, what a Xie Xuan, he usually looks dull, but he is quite alert at critical moments.I stood up, didn't dare to raise my head, and walked out the door with my waist bent.

But who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at the door, a folding fan was strung across my neck as I saw my escape.

"Since he is a servant, he must be an extraordinary servant, otherwise, how could he allow him to play tricks on his face? Well, he is still dressed so decently." Withdrawing the folding fan, he strode into the room: "Let's stay and talk for a while!" "

Who can disobey the emperor's words?I had to lower my head and followed into the house dying.

In fact, not only the emperor came, but also the Princess and Prime Minister Xie An and Xie An.

The emperor flicked up his clothes, and sat down casually and gracefully. The princess stood on one side, Xie An on the other, and Xie Xuan and I stood diagonally across from each other.

Xie Xuan called Princess Weiwei for a word, and then called Third Uncle for Xie An.

I followed up idiotically: "Hello princess, hello third uncle."

The princess ignored him, and only looked at Xie Xuan half-hidden.Third Uncle Xie hummed, and lowered his eyes in a state of contemplation, while the Emperor's eyes flashed a deep meaning that he didn't understand.

These, I glanced at, looked at.

"Xie Qing, sit down too!" the emperor said.

Third Uncle Xie bowed deeply: "His Majesty Xie" sat down and continued to pretend to be deep.

"Xie Xuan, I heard that you ran to the palace almost every day to see An Ning. I thought you two were sincere and it was time to talk about marriage, but why have you become indifferent these two days? Could it be that something happened outside the palace? What dragged Ai Qing down?"

There is nothing wrong with what the emperor said, or he was guilty of a guilty conscience, but when I heard it, it completely changed his taste.

Xie Xuan next to him immediately knelt down when he heard this: "It's really because I didn't think carefully, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor stared at Xie Xuan closely, and smiled: "What is Aiqing doing, and I didn't blame you, why bother to plead guilty?" His face turned cold: "Or did you really do something against the royal family?"

"The emperor clearly checked, Xie Xuan has always been loyal to the emperor, so how could he do something that violated the royal family?"

The emperor had a smile on his face, but the smile made one's body numb: "I didn't say to blame you, Aiqing, you are too nervous, get up!"

A girl came in outside the door and made tea for the emperor, she slowly faded away, the emperor's gaze followed out of the door, and then naturally moved to me, I was in a bad mood, I hurriedly lowered my head again and again.

"That—servant, what's your name?"

Still not dodging, I said in a nasty voice: "Cao Min Pei Ran."

"Why do you keep your head down? Could it be that I'm a man-eating monster who will eat you?" The tone became sharp: "Raise your head."

I turned my head and took a peek at Xie Xuan, and saw his eyes rolling in anxiety, so I could only be anxious.

O sigh!Life and death are up to heaven, I, Pei Ran, have already taken my life for more than two months, and I should be content with picking up such a bosom friend, but it doesn't matter if I die, I can't hurt my friend.

The big deal is that I will take everything on my own and never tell Xie Xuan. If I don't admit it, they can still force the crime on Xie Xuan's head?

After thinking about everything, most of the big burden in my heart was relieved, and my mood became much more magnanimous. I raised my head and met those eagle-like eyes straight.

Those eyes narrowed, with an unpredictable expression, no one in the room dared to make a sound, for a moment, the air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

"I think you look familiar, have we met somewhere?" After a while, the emperor finally spoke, but the words were not surprising and endless.

"I..." I made a long voice, and Xie Xuan immediately picked it up: "Your Majesty, Ran'er just came to the capital recently. The Emperor is busy with state affairs. I'm afraid he hasn't left the palace yet, so how could he be seen!"

The emperor's expression turned cold: "Ran'er? Your name is quite intimate. I don't know, where did you come from?"

Xie Xuan smiled indifferently: "My Majesty, the last time I sneaked into the Qin Kingdom, my identity was found out by the enemy, and I escaped death. Fortunately, Pei Ran rescued me and saved my life. The sage said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring." , then this kind of life-saving grace, the minister should be..."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It turns out that this person saved Xie Qing, so I would like to thank Pei Ran for helping me keep the pillar of this country. What's more, I think he has an extraordinary temperament and an appearance that can overwhelm the country. With a delicate skin and expensive appearance, being a servant is too wronged!"

Xiao Xuanzi knelt down on one knee: "The emperor valued it, and I was overwhelmed by the flattery. It is true that I have not thought carefully about Pei Ran's matter. The emperor's kindness has already understood the matter. Let the minister take full responsibility for Pei Ran's affairs!"

"That's it!" The emperor held the teacup and played with it: "I don't know how Xie Qing will arrange it?"

"My Majesty, I happen to need an aide by my side to advise me. Pei Ran is smart and quick-witted, so he will definitely be able to do it."

The emperor smiled lightly: "Since you are the aide of Hussar General Xie Xuan, how can you be smart enough? You also need literary talents, otherwise, I will be in trouble!"

This emperor, who sings the good face and the bad face at one time, is uncertain, and I don't know what his plan is, if he really recognizes me as that Wu Qingcheng, why doesn't he just take me away, but he has to play around like this, really It is hard to see through.

If this room talks about the three books and five classics, Lao Tzu, Confucius, etc., I really can't bear it.

"This..." Xie Xuan was obviously in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty..." Third Uncle Xie, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up: "The old minister has only one hobby in his life, and that is dealing with literati. Today, let the old minister test him!"

The emperor smiled, gloating: "Xie Qing has an amazing talent, if he can pass your exam, he must be worthy of the position of an aide."

Uncle Xie also smiled, and said to me: "Everything in the world is the origin of Tao. Let's talk about the connection between Tao and everything in the world. What do you think, Mr. Pei?"

talk?And the root of all things?It's too esoteric!

Uncle Xie stroked his beard, and without waiting for my answer, he said to himself: "There are things that are mixed together, born innately. I am lonely, independent and unchanging, traveling around without dying..."

"Wait..." I was stupefied and interrupted quickly: "I'm an aide to the general, not a philosopher. Don't Uncle Xie think this is false? It's really...not right, not right."

"Oh?" The emperor tilted his body and leaned his elbow on the desk, full of majesty, but still contemptuous: "Then what do you think the general's staff should be tested for?"

"Marching and deploying formations, strategy strategy."

"What do you know? Then you can talk about it."

"It's too unintentional to talk about war on paper, let's do something practical." I smiled slightly: "Play chess."
