I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]
Chapter 142 His Majesty's "Rival in Love"
Lu Yu usually doesn't discuss matters here. Bai Yiling just woke up and didn't even know that the ministers were outside. When he saw Lu Yu coming in, he took a few sips of tea in his hand and said casually: "I'm vaguely listening to you. It seems to be smiling, what is so happy?"
Lu Yu said: "It's nothing, Sang Hong would like to tell me a joke."
Bai Yiling almost spit out a sip of tea: "Sang Hongjin? He's outside?!"
"Hey, drink slowly." Lu Yu patted him on the back and nodded solemnly, "Yes, is there anything special about him?"
There was a somewhat unconcealable smile in his eyes, and Bai Yiling had an ominous feeling: "Who else is there?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Hey, you knew it without telling me, Ah Ling is so smart."
He was pinched by Bai Yiling, smiled and avoided, and said, "Hey, don't do it. Let me think about it, and Zheng Sima, Grand Master Nie, General Gao, General Liu, Minister Lin..."
Bai Yiling: "..."
"You—" He didn't know what to say for a while, and said angrily, "Aren't you usually here to discuss matters? There are so many people watching... When I call you, you might as well just pretend that you didn't hear. "
"Why should I pretend I didn't hear it?" Lu Yu laughed, "Don't you understand what I mean?"
When he said this, Lu Yu stared at Bai Yiling with bright eyes and a smile on his lips.
Bai Yiling looked back at him quietly for a moment, then smiled, shook his head, and said with a sigh: "I understand."
Lu Yu frowned, pinched his nose affectionately, and leaned over to kiss Bai Yiling's lips: "Silly boy."
He intends to stay a little longer, but he also knows that there are still people waiting outside, so after a kiss, he reluctantly lets go of Bai Yiling and gets up to help him get his coat.
The ministers outside didn't wait too long before they saw the emperor and Lord Bai came out together. Both of them were well-dressed and serious.Bai Yiling waved his hands and greeted them quite calmly: "My lords are here, please sit down slowly, I have business to do, so excuse me."
Everyone quickly returned their salutes, saying that the king of the county is going slowly, the king of the county has worked hard, and the king of the county is too polite.
Bai Yiling smiled calmly, walked out of Chengxin Hall, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and ran away hastily.
Lu Yu watched his figure go away with a smile, looked away and said, "Where did you just say that? Oh, it was Hou Yi who was talking about the fox raised by the king of Guangling County."
Sang Hongjin has already regretted it, seeing the emperor's fascinated look, not to mention that he probably hasn't heard of the rumor, even if he heard of it, he probably wouldn't blame Bai Yiling, he is simply a villain in vain.
It's just that it's too late to take back these words now, Sang Hongjin responded with a sigh, and Lu Yu said: "I think that's the auspicious omen that God ordained. Bai Aiqing has both virtue and ability, outstanding character, although young, but He has made great achievements several times, Shenhu treats him differently, precisely because he admires and loves him. Since it is from the heart, why bother to say that it is majestic or not. How fortunate it is for Jin to have this person."
All the ministers: "..."
Yes, yes, you are right.
Lu Yu was intoxicated for a moment, then said to Sang Hongjin solemnly: "The reason why I pointed out the side concubine of the Linzhang King is because I don't want people to envy and imitate it, but they don't know the point, and cause unnecessary conflicts instead. What do you think, Zhu Yihou?"
What else can I say?Sang Hongjin said: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister is shallow."
He received a lot of intimidation, both hard and soft, and Lu Qi's confession note was quickly sent to Lu Yu's case.In terms of scene skills, no one could do it more thoughtfully than him. In the evening, the Sheng family had just had dinner together, and a servant had already come over to report that the king of Linzhang had brought his side concubine over.
Lu Mo was a little surprised, and exchanged a look with Sheng Mian.She had already told her husband what happened during the day, and the complaint that should be sent out was not vague.At that time, Sang Hongjin and Lu Qi both apologized and the emperor reprimanded them respectively. They thought this matter was over, but they didn't expect that Lu Qi would bring Sang Hongrui to the door again.
What else is he going to do?
Sheng Zhi hurriedly said: "Hurry up, come quickly, remove all the valuables from the living room, and remember to pick up cheap cups to use when serving tea later, the crazy woman in the house likes to smash things the most!"
Sheng Duo was annoyed and funny, and knocked Sheng Zhi on the head: "Why did you become like this? The family is short of your money, or they haven't given you food or drink."
Sheng knew: "Even Wan Guan's family wealth, I don't want her to harm me."
Sheng Duo thought what his younger brother said was the same, he smiled and said nothing else, went out with his parents, and welcomed Lu Qi into the main hall.
Lu Mo looked at Sang Hongrui who was brought here by Lu Qi, and felt angry again, and said lightly: "Zi Xian, it's rare that you come today, you are really a rare visitor. It's just that next time you don't need to bring extra people, My house is simple and crude, and I can't afford to entertain the Buddha."
Lu Qidao: "What happened during the day today is all at fault on our side, and it is right for the emperor to be angry. I will bring my side concubine here to apologize to Xia Guang."
He glanced at Bai Yiling and said, "Is the wound better?"
Lu Qi's detached and polite attitude caught everyone by surprise, Bai Yiling said, "It's not serious, thank you for your concern."
Lu Qi's eyes flicked on him for a moment, then he quickly looked away, and said to Sang Hongrui, "Why don't you go and make amends?"
His tone was not harsh, but rather indifferent.I don't know what the two of them said, but Sang Hongrui reluctantly stood up, walked in front of Bai Yiling, kissed his lower body hastily, and said, "I'm sorry, what happened today is my fault."
Lu Mo said, "What's wrong with you?"
Sang Hongrui was taken aback.Saluting and apologizing to Bai Yiling like this is already the limit she can accept, but Lu Mo hasn't finished yet—she doesn't know where she is wrong, she thinks she is absolutely right!
Lu Mo saw through her thoughts at a glance, and said indifferently: "If you are perfunctory, please go back. Don't think that your confession is expensive. We don't take it seriously. Anyway, remember what I said during the day, and next time you dare to come to your door to make trouble, Let's make a fuss, hit once."
Sang Hongrui didn't know how much courage he mustered up to admit his mistake, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't save any face for her after saluting in vain, and mercilessly punctured all the thoughts in Sang Hongrui's heart up.
Sang Hongrui wanted to be annoyed, but before she got angry, she met Lu Mo's cold gaze. The cold and slippery feeling of being stuck on her face by a poisonous snake surged up again. She shuddered suddenly, her lips After moving a few times, he said in a trembling voice, "Yes..."
After she finished speaking, she really didn't dare to stay. According to Lu Mo's words, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Several servants looked at Lu Qi's face, then at Sang Hongrui, and after quickly saluting, they also chased him out.
When Sang Hongrui left the gate of Sheng's house, she felt the cold wind blowing, her whole body was wet and cold, and there was already a layer of cold sweat on her back. She was panting quickly, really scared from the bottom of her heart.
"Miss." The maid who came to Kyoto with her from Youzhou came over and timidly put on a cloak for her, "Be careful of catching cold."
When Sang Hongrui saw her, without saying a word, she slapped her face instead, and said with raised eyebrows: "It's all your fault for persuading me to come to Zhen Guogong's mansion to make amends. Otherwise, how could I have been so humiliated? Things that are not successful enough are more than bad things." !"
The maid covered her face and knelt down, Sang Hongrui said coldly: "Prepare the sedan chair, go home!"
After she got on the sedan chair and walked out for a while, the maid who was kneeling on the ground got up tremblingly and chased after her.
Lu Qi didn't go with Sang Hongrui for a while, and Lu Mo was also a little angry with him.If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to blame the prince, but since everyone's surname is Lu, they don't have so many scruples.
Lu Mo said to Lu Qi: "Zixian, if you come to the house as a guest, we will welcome you very much, but next time you don't have to bring your side concubine over. I really feel annoyed when I see her."
Lu Qi stood up, bowed to them, and said politely: "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone. She is my side concubine, and I have to share in any mistakes. I will try my best to restrain her from now on. .”
Lu Mo gave him a curious look.She thought that Lu Qi would use the words of the scene to perfunctory, push all the faults on Sang Hongrui, or just walk away, after all, she also knew that her attitude was very bad.
But the other party really lowered his figure like this and came to apologize to her. Lu Mo had never seen Lu Qi speak like this before, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him.
Because she wanted to save people, she somehow married such a crazy woman and gave her military power.Now I have to worry about her affairs, and when I think about Sang Hongrui's frivolous look that is always arrogant and domineering, thinking that he is right, I guess Lu Qi will have to solve a lot of troubles for her in the future. Thinking about it this way, it is true awful.
Even she has such thoughts, and the other servants are even more so.Sang Hongrui has long been a celebrity in the capital. Seeing her come out of Zhen Guogong's mansion angrily, and the King of Linzhang left indifferently after a while, everyone can vaguely guess what happened—it must be this She offended someone again, let the king of Linzhang give her the bottom line.
Many people quietly pointed out, telling their sons that they should be cautious when marrying a wife in the future, and they must not find such unruly and willful ones. Those who have daughters are determined to discipline them strictly, and they must never teach their girls to be like Miss Sang Hong. .It is said that the King of Linzhang is really kind and righteous, and he is willing to come forward and take her to make an apology after the trouble has become like this.
This incident also had a consequence.Although the king of Linzhang is not as popular as Bai Yiling among the people, he is of such a noble background, handsome in appearance and gentle in demeanor. Whenever he encounters natural disasters, he will distribute food widely, and there are many women who secretly agree with him. .As a result, with Sang Hongrui's reputation, no one dared to approach Lu Qi anymore.
Sang Hongrui's various domineering behaviors changed after being passed on, and she was almost described as a blue-faced and long-toothed hag. of.For Lu Qi, even though there was some ridicule, there was more sympathy, so that even the King of Youzhou, who hadn't been to Beijing for decades, had a bad reputation.
Sang Hongjin came out of the palace in cold sweat, and when he heard these words again, he felt extremely sorry, and brought a lot of gifts to the Linzhang Palace to apologize to Lu Qi.
Lu Qi was still very polite to him, he just sighed and said: "I have known your sister for many years, even though she was spoiled before, her temperament was not like this, but since she entered the palace, her behavior has become more and more deviant. It’s almost like having epilepsy when I was in bed. Sometimes I can’t figure it out, why did I become like this?”
After so many things happened, he still said it like this, and he had already said it in a friendly manner. Sang Hongjin felt ashamed and his face turned red.The people in my family know that Sang Hongrui lost her mother since she was a child, and her personality is indeed a bit extreme. Usually, everyone is used to her, and if there is something that she can't get or doesn't go her way, then everyone will be angry. I can't control it, I'm afraid even she can't control herself.
There are other women in Lu Qi's mansion, so she can't accept it with her domineering temperament, this kind of depression has accumulated over time, it is really not crazy but half crazy.Sang Hongjin's first thought was that if she was a concubine, she would have a status, so it would be easy to say, but who would have thought that Gao Guilie's incident would happen by accident, and the matter would get out of hand from then on.
He didn't know that Lu Qi liked Bai Yiling. He thought that Sang Hongrui hated Bai Yiling just because he felt that he had suffered for him, and he also felt that the girl was unreasonable. He sighed and said, "It's us I didn't discipline her well, my royal father loved her since she was a child, even I can't compare to her, and it's even more difficult to discipline...My lord, I really feel sorry for you."
Lu Qi shook his head: "Since she is married to me, you don't have to say that. Just go on like this, and if you don't say anything else, all kinds of rumors in Beijing are enough. Do you know what others say about Youzhou King's?"
He glanced at Sang Hongjin meaningfully: "It is said that he is cruel and easy to kill, widowed and righteous, but he is just a prince, but he spoils his daughter so much that even the son of the princess dares to beat him - that is in a busy city, people Everyone can see it!"
Sang Hongjin's heart skipped a beat, and after Lu Qi's suggestion, he immediately figured out the key point of this matter.
It's not that he offended the government of Zhenguo, it's not that he offended the emperor, but the impression of Sang Hong's family in the hearts of the people has been extremely bad!
From the very beginning when Sang Hongrui married into the Linzhang Palace, Sang Hongjin knew in his heart that Lu Qi wanted to use their strength. In fact, his father also wanted to aspire to the throne, and he also wanted to pretend to cooperate with the Linzhang King. Then replace it.They are strong and strong, and their biggest disadvantage is that they have not entered Beijing for many years, so it is difficult for the people to accept them.
It's all right now, when Sang Hongrui made a fuss, it wasn't "difficult" at all, but "difficult as hard as climbing the sky".Once there is an incident, it is not a small resistance to encounter resistance from civilian volunteers.
He thought too late!
Sang Hongjin couldn't help but glanced at Lu Qi, and suddenly felt a subtle and weird feeling.Sang Hongrui is the daughter of Youzhou Prince's Mansion and the daughter-in-law of Linzhang Prince's Mansion. When she started a quarrel, the reputation of the two families should have been stinky, but now it turns out that King Youzhou's reputation is extremely bad, and King Linzhang has become everyone. An object of sympathy - a very different ending!
He couldn't help but wonder if Lu Qi already knew about King Youzhou's plans and the consequences Sang Hongrui would cause. All of this was not planned by him, but he was quietly promoting it. The purpose was, Let my family see no hope of getting things done, but can only support him wholeheartedly!
——But if he can even estimate these, then this person is really terrible!
Sang Hongjin was startled and suspicious, so he went to look at Lu Qi quietly, but saw that he had a dejected look on his face, and he was just drinking for himself, but he couldn't really tell what he was thinking.
What's more, when things got to this point, no matter whether he could tell whether Lu Qi was intentional or unintentional in this matter, it was already too late, and he could only take one step at a time. In short, the two sides now have no other choice but to cooperate.
He was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "My lord's worry is justified, it seems that if you don't teach her, it really won't work."
Sang Hongrui didn't know about the conversation between her husband and her brother. At this moment, she was sitting alone in her dark room with her hands on her belly.
Of course she knew that she was not pregnant, but in fact, Sang Hongrui hoped that it was true when she told Bai Yiling that "I am pregnant".She was jealous of Qiu Zhen, so jealous.
Before she got married, her temperament was very pampered and brutal. If her usual behavior was considered normal, she would be like a lunatic when she encountered something related to Lu Qi. mood.
After finally marrying Lu Qi, both the marriage process and her married life were not satisfactory, which made her even more irritable, otherwise she would not deliberately find fault with Bai Yiling.
But if you can't change it, you can't change it, but Sang Hongrui knew in his heart that Lu Qi was becoming more and more impatient with him.
She suddenly remembered when she just got married.At that time, Lu Qi was in a bad mood and didn't touch her, but his attitude was gentle.
Later, she couldn't get angry and made a few fights, and Lu Qi gradually no longer tolerated it, and the relationship between the two became more and more rigid, so that from the beginning of the quarrel to the current indifference, no matter how much trouble she made, she would never be able to bear it again. Not even the slightest bit of attention from Lu Qi - even if he was angry!
Is it going to continue like this in the future?Sang Hongrui thought of his indifferent face, panicked in his heart, stood up suddenly from the bed, and was about to run out with his skirt.
As a result, she pushed the door open and bumped into a person who was about to come in. The person stopped and did not speak.Sang Hongrui looked up and saw that it was Lu Qi.
She suddenly felt a sense of grievance from the bottom of her heart, and besides that, there was also a trace of regret that she didn't want to admit.
Sang Hongrui hugged Lu Qi's waist, and cried, "Brother Zixian, can we not do this? We used to say a few words by chance and have a meal, and we would be very happy. Why are we together every day now?" What happened, but things turned out like this? I was wrong, brother Zixian, I won’t make trouble in the future, can we live a good life? I’ll change it, I’ll really change it!”
It was rare for her to say such a thing, Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, he pulled Sang Hongrui's arm to pull her away from his body, and said calmly, "Come with me."
After he finished speaking, he led Sang Hongrui straight forward. Although he didn't look sideways and his expression was cold, he didn't seem to be too heartless anyway. Sang Hongrui hurriedly followed, and the two of them reached the corner of the palace. A remote courtyard.Because no one has lived in the mansion since it was built, it looks a bit desolate.
Sang Hongrui was scared: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Qi didn't answer, and said to himself: "I remember telling you many times, telling you not to provoke the Sheng family, let alone trouble Bai Yiling. You always think that I protect them and not you. How can you tell if you have a whole body of right and wrong?"
After he finished speaking, he took a look at Sang Hongrui: "I heard you were scared by a snake?"
It's okay if Lu Qi doesn't say anything, but when Sang Hongrui heard the word "snake", he felt trembling all over his body, and his chest felt nauseated, as if he smelled that stench again, and touched the slippery snake skin on the giant python's body. She was so frightened that tears fell in clusters: "I was wrong, I will not dare in the future, and I will never trouble Bai Yiling again. Brother Zixian, just forgive me for a while, okay?" ?I beg you!"
Lu Qi snorted lightly: "This is indeed your best attitude ever, but you'll never do it again after you say it, and you're the one who gets old-fashioned again and again. My patience has run out this time. Come on!" "
Sang Hongrui looked at him in surprise and fear, and saw Lu Qi ordering to the servant who came over: "Lock her here and find someone to watch her. She is only allowed to eat two steamed buns and one bowl of water every day. How does she make trouble, as long as she dares to step out of this door, I only ask you."
Sang Hongrui said sharply: "What are you doing? You can't lock me up! Lu Qi, you are not a thing, I want my elder brother to pick me up!"
The voice stopped abruptly, she stared blankly at Sang Hongjin who came out from the other side, and was so shocked that she lost her voice: "Brother, you, why don't you..."
Sang Hongjin looked away: "You have done so many wrong things, and you should learn a lesson. When you change, I will come and pick you up personally."
Sang Hongrui was shocked and angry: "Why do you even say I was wrong, are you crazy?! I am your sister, do you know how Lu Qi treats me? He has been trying his best to treat me coldly and torture me, Driving me crazy, I am now driven by him! You, you treat me like this, have you thought about how to explain to dad?!"
Sang Hongjin endured and endured, and when he heard that Sang Hongrui was still threatening people with his father, he finally said angrily: "I knew I was wrong after I said it, and started to hurt people again. It's useless to talk about this at any time! It's all other people's fault, not yours. If you're not crazy, why do people treat you coldly? You dare to mess with Bai Yiling, do you really want to involve the whole family in being buried with him?"
He pushed Sang Hongrui away, and let her be dragged to the room prepared in advance by his servants.Sang Hongrui desperately wanted to go out, but was pushed back. Hearing the sound of the lock outside the room, she couldn't help shaking.
There were no candles in the room because she was afraid that she would set fire to the room in case of madness.The grass in the garden outside grew tall, and in the darkness, she always felt as if a snake would come out of any corner at any time.
Sang Hongrui was trembling with fright, ran over and smashed the door frantically, and shouted: "Let me out, let me out, I really don't dare to lose my temper again! Brother Zixian! Brother! Please let me go!" Get out, you can’t leave me alone! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo……”
The door panel she slapped slammed, and almost half of the palace heard the sound, but everyone pretended to be dead, and no one paid attention to her.Sang Hongjin stood dumbfounded for a moment, then flung his sleeves and left.
Qiu Zhen heard it from inside the room, with a sneer on her face, she ordered her servants: "Open the door, I want to listen carefully."
It's a pity that she didn't appreciate it for too long. Sang Hongrui grew up rich and well-clothed. She has never suffered from such hardships. She only has two steamed buns and a bowl of water every day. She soon feels exhausted and can't even shout. Moved.
When the whole thing came to an end, I am afraid that the fox raised by Sang Hongrui could be said to be a blessing in disguise.Bai Yiling's guess was correct. At that time, Sang Hongrui left the cockfight angrily after being cleaned up by Lu Mo. His resentment was first vented on the big red fox.
Lu Yu went there in time, and the big fox was rescued by him with a slight injury. At this moment, he was lying a little cautiously in the grass of the imperial garden and basking in the sun.It's just an ordinary fox that can't change into a human being or speak.
The weather was getting warmer and spring was just in time, Lu Yu and Bai Yiling sat face to face in the pavilion, Bai Yiling was holding a dossier in his hand, and in front of Lu Yu was a plate of loquat fruit.
This thing is also called acacia, also known as a seedless cherry. It is different from the roundness and plumpness of cherries. The forked loquat is naturally heart-shaped. At this time, it is placed in a plate made of glass, and each one is bright red, which is really beautiful. .It was not available on the market in early spring, and the palace paid tribute to it.
Lu Yu picked out the best-looking ones, handed them to Bai Yiling's mouth one by one to feed him, and rested his cheek with his other hand, as if watching him eat was happier than eating himself.
Bai Yiling didn't look up, Lu Yu glanced at the file in his hand, and asked, "Are you still looking at the scientific examination case? By the way, I didn't ask you last time, how do you feel after meeting He Zicheng?"
Bai Yiling thought about it for a while: "I want to cover it up, but I'm vacillating."
Lu Yu said, "How do you say it?"
Bai Yiling said: "At the beginning, those examinees said that He Zicheng was ignorant, eating, drinking and having fun, and he was a dude who knew nothing. When I dealt with him, I felt that there were some things that he didn't seem to know, but he seemed to be pretending to be something. I don’t understand. For example, when I compared him with the content of “The Doctrine of the Mean”, the expression on his face for a moment didn’t look like he had never heard of panic, but he was about to blurt out, but he endured it and told me he does not know."
Lu Yu said: "I've heard that you pretend to understand when you don't know it. It's the first time I've seen such a fresh product. In fact, I also thought about it when I saw He Zicheng in the cockfighting arena. You said he put business It’s so big, and it’s quite intelligent in speaking and doing things. If you really want to cheat, how can you be so stupid as to copy a Huiyuan all at once? It’s so public, it’s almost like waiting for someone to check.”
Bai Yiling also felt this way, that's why he played that game of chess with He Zicheng.The so-called chess is like a person, sometimes a person's chess moves can just reflect his character, which is not easy to cover up.
What's more, Bai Yiling is considered a master in the game of Go. When He Zicheng played chess with him, he was always pressing every step of the way. Apart from concentrating on finding a way to deal with it, it was difficult to separate his mind from thinking about other things. However, Bai Yiling was still playing chess with him. He speaks.
He vaguely felt that He Zicheng was struggling in his chess moves and speech, as if he was hesitating to sacrifice something to accomplish something.
Lu Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then asked Bai Yiling: "You said that the rumors that you suspected there was a problem with this exam at first, could he have released it himself?"
Bai Yiling said, "I think it's possible."
Lu Yu thought for a while, then raised his voice, "Call Shang Xiao over here!"
Shang Xiao soon appeared in the pavilion and saluted Bai Yiling and Lu Yu.
Lu Yu said: "Who in our clan likes to listen to gossip the most?"
Shang Xiao didn't expect Lu Yu to ask such a question, he thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's... Qi Ji?"
Lu Yu said, "Are you sure?"
Shang Xiao cautiously said: "I don't know what His Majesty will order him to do? As far as I know, Qi Ji has been addicted to listening to books since he came to the capital with you. In his spare time, he always likes to go to wineries and teahouses to listen to The brothers all know the jokes that come out of the streets and alleys."
He thought for a while, and then said to Bai Yiling: "Ah, he has met the third son of the Duke of Zhen's mansion a few times, and he gets along very well with your elder brother!"
Bai Yiling and Lu Yu looked at each other, and at the same time they imagined that Qi Ji and Sheng Ji were sitting side by side in a teahouse, listening lifelessly to the gentleman in the middle of the lobby telling anecdotes and gossips. Expressionless.
Two people: "..."
Suddenly feel very cold.
Lu Yu said, "Go and call Qi Ji over."
People in Kyoto live a prosperous life and have a lot of spare money. Various entertainment activities to kill time are very popular, and one of them is listening to gossip.Therefore, what the storyteller tells is not only the stories of ancient heroes or famous officials of the dynasty, but also the short and interesting stories of street parents.
Shang Xiao got the order and left in a hurry, Bai Yiling rushed to Lu Yu and said, "I don't think Qi Ji is that kind of fox."
Lu Yu said deeply, "Trust him."
Bai Yiling: "...you obviously don't even believe it yourself."
Lu Yu fed him a loquat fruit.
On this day, Qi Ji was on duty, and Shang Xiao found him without too much trouble. Lu Yu asked, "Have you been in the teahouse recently to listen to gossip?"
Qi Ji glanced at Shang Xiao, who pretended not to know anything.
Qi Ji said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I'm going to listen to the book."
He accentuated the pronunciation of the last two words.
Lu Yu was amused and curious, and asked casually, "Then what did you hear?"
When he asked like this, Qi Ji didn't know what Lu Yu wanted to hear. He was a little puzzled at first, and then he glanced at Bai Yiling, showing an expression of sudden understanding.
He said to Bai Yiling with great pain: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my subordinates can't bully you."
Bai Yiling: "Your words are a bit like that... before the treacherous officials framed Zhongliang."
Qi Ji said: "I naturally believe in the character of the county king, but it's just that the rumors will change if they spread. If your majesty has heard about this matter, you can explain it."
"The latest rumor in Kyoto is that Lord Bai took a fox to a pet competition in the west of the city a few days ago, but he met the side concubine of the Linzhang King and had a conflict. It is said that Lord Bai and the fox behaved very differently before the competition started. Afterwards, when the side concubine of the Linzhang king wanted to hurt the fox, the lord was very angry and wanted to slap the side concubine of the Linzhang king because of the fox, what else did he say..."
Qi Ji said dryly: "If you want to live with it for a lifetime, is the fox more important than people?"
Bai Yiling: "..."
It seems that he said this, but it should be that he was in a hurry to talk to Sang Hongrui at that time. He didn't feel much when he said it at that time, but Qi Ji said it emphatically at this time, which seemed a bit ambiguous.
Guessing the affectionate behavior in front, slapping the princess as a fox, they are all made up based on the latter two sentences.
Qi Ji never thought that a fox that participated in the pet competition would be his boss, and the eyes he looked at Bai Yiling were full of accusations, "Do you have a fox outside, do you want our majesty?"
Bai Yiling couldn't help asking: "So after this incident got out, what did everyone say?"
Qi Ji spoke obediently.
Some people said that Lord Bai did not recognize his biological parents back then, and he was not familiar with His Highness Duke Huai who had just returned to the capital, but at that time he had already started raising foxes, so it is understandable that he has such deep feelings for foxes.
This is the most normal statement, and many people nodded in agreement.Everyone knows Lord Bai's life experience. It is not easy for a child to grow up alone. He raises pets like family members. The side concubine of Linzhang Wang is ignorant and shoots with arrows when she comes up. Who can bear this? What about tone?
But the bad thing about this is that Bimozhai has recently published a new storybook - which tells the story of an ancient classic vixen and a little scholar.
Lu Yu said: "It's nothing, Sang Hong would like to tell me a joke."
Bai Yiling almost spit out a sip of tea: "Sang Hongjin? He's outside?!"
"Hey, drink slowly." Lu Yu patted him on the back and nodded solemnly, "Yes, is there anything special about him?"
There was a somewhat unconcealable smile in his eyes, and Bai Yiling had an ominous feeling: "Who else is there?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Hey, you knew it without telling me, Ah Ling is so smart."
He was pinched by Bai Yiling, smiled and avoided, and said, "Hey, don't do it. Let me think about it, and Zheng Sima, Grand Master Nie, General Gao, General Liu, Minister Lin..."
Bai Yiling: "..."
"You—" He didn't know what to say for a while, and said angrily, "Aren't you usually here to discuss matters? There are so many people watching... When I call you, you might as well just pretend that you didn't hear. "
"Why should I pretend I didn't hear it?" Lu Yu laughed, "Don't you understand what I mean?"
When he said this, Lu Yu stared at Bai Yiling with bright eyes and a smile on his lips.
Bai Yiling looked back at him quietly for a moment, then smiled, shook his head, and said with a sigh: "I understand."
Lu Yu frowned, pinched his nose affectionately, and leaned over to kiss Bai Yiling's lips: "Silly boy."
He intends to stay a little longer, but he also knows that there are still people waiting outside, so after a kiss, he reluctantly lets go of Bai Yiling and gets up to help him get his coat.
The ministers outside didn't wait too long before they saw the emperor and Lord Bai came out together. Both of them were well-dressed and serious.Bai Yiling waved his hands and greeted them quite calmly: "My lords are here, please sit down slowly, I have business to do, so excuse me."
Everyone quickly returned their salutes, saying that the king of the county is going slowly, the king of the county has worked hard, and the king of the county is too polite.
Bai Yiling smiled calmly, walked out of Chengxin Hall, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and ran away hastily.
Lu Yu watched his figure go away with a smile, looked away and said, "Where did you just say that? Oh, it was Hou Yi who was talking about the fox raised by the king of Guangling County."
Sang Hongjin has already regretted it, seeing the emperor's fascinated look, not to mention that he probably hasn't heard of the rumor, even if he heard of it, he probably wouldn't blame Bai Yiling, he is simply a villain in vain.
It's just that it's too late to take back these words now, Sang Hongjin responded with a sigh, and Lu Yu said: "I think that's the auspicious omen that God ordained. Bai Aiqing has both virtue and ability, outstanding character, although young, but He has made great achievements several times, Shenhu treats him differently, precisely because he admires and loves him. Since it is from the heart, why bother to say that it is majestic or not. How fortunate it is for Jin to have this person."
All the ministers: "..."
Yes, yes, you are right.
Lu Yu was intoxicated for a moment, then said to Sang Hongjin solemnly: "The reason why I pointed out the side concubine of the Linzhang King is because I don't want people to envy and imitate it, but they don't know the point, and cause unnecessary conflicts instead. What do you think, Zhu Yihou?"
What else can I say?Sang Hongjin said: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister is shallow."
He received a lot of intimidation, both hard and soft, and Lu Qi's confession note was quickly sent to Lu Yu's case.In terms of scene skills, no one could do it more thoughtfully than him. In the evening, the Sheng family had just had dinner together, and a servant had already come over to report that the king of Linzhang had brought his side concubine over.
Lu Mo was a little surprised, and exchanged a look with Sheng Mian.She had already told her husband what happened during the day, and the complaint that should be sent out was not vague.At that time, Sang Hongjin and Lu Qi both apologized and the emperor reprimanded them respectively. They thought this matter was over, but they didn't expect that Lu Qi would bring Sang Hongrui to the door again.
What else is he going to do?
Sheng Zhi hurriedly said: "Hurry up, come quickly, remove all the valuables from the living room, and remember to pick up cheap cups to use when serving tea later, the crazy woman in the house likes to smash things the most!"
Sheng Duo was annoyed and funny, and knocked Sheng Zhi on the head: "Why did you become like this? The family is short of your money, or they haven't given you food or drink."
Sheng knew: "Even Wan Guan's family wealth, I don't want her to harm me."
Sheng Duo thought what his younger brother said was the same, he smiled and said nothing else, went out with his parents, and welcomed Lu Qi into the main hall.
Lu Mo looked at Sang Hongrui who was brought here by Lu Qi, and felt angry again, and said lightly: "Zi Xian, it's rare that you come today, you are really a rare visitor. It's just that next time you don't need to bring extra people, My house is simple and crude, and I can't afford to entertain the Buddha."
Lu Qidao: "What happened during the day today is all at fault on our side, and it is right for the emperor to be angry. I will bring my side concubine here to apologize to Xia Guang."
He glanced at Bai Yiling and said, "Is the wound better?"
Lu Qi's detached and polite attitude caught everyone by surprise, Bai Yiling said, "It's not serious, thank you for your concern."
Lu Qi's eyes flicked on him for a moment, then he quickly looked away, and said to Sang Hongrui, "Why don't you go and make amends?"
His tone was not harsh, but rather indifferent.I don't know what the two of them said, but Sang Hongrui reluctantly stood up, walked in front of Bai Yiling, kissed his lower body hastily, and said, "I'm sorry, what happened today is my fault."
Lu Mo said, "What's wrong with you?"
Sang Hongrui was taken aback.Saluting and apologizing to Bai Yiling like this is already the limit she can accept, but Lu Mo hasn't finished yet—she doesn't know where she is wrong, she thinks she is absolutely right!
Lu Mo saw through her thoughts at a glance, and said indifferently: "If you are perfunctory, please go back. Don't think that your confession is expensive. We don't take it seriously. Anyway, remember what I said during the day, and next time you dare to come to your door to make trouble, Let's make a fuss, hit once."
Sang Hongrui didn't know how much courage he mustered up to admit his mistake, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't save any face for her after saluting in vain, and mercilessly punctured all the thoughts in Sang Hongrui's heart up.
Sang Hongrui wanted to be annoyed, but before she got angry, she met Lu Mo's cold gaze. The cold and slippery feeling of being stuck on her face by a poisonous snake surged up again. She shuddered suddenly, her lips After moving a few times, he said in a trembling voice, "Yes..."
After she finished speaking, she really didn't dare to stay. According to Lu Mo's words, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Several servants looked at Lu Qi's face, then at Sang Hongrui, and after quickly saluting, they also chased him out.
When Sang Hongrui left the gate of Sheng's house, she felt the cold wind blowing, her whole body was wet and cold, and there was already a layer of cold sweat on her back. She was panting quickly, really scared from the bottom of her heart.
"Miss." The maid who came to Kyoto with her from Youzhou came over and timidly put on a cloak for her, "Be careful of catching cold."
When Sang Hongrui saw her, without saying a word, she slapped her face instead, and said with raised eyebrows: "It's all your fault for persuading me to come to Zhen Guogong's mansion to make amends. Otherwise, how could I have been so humiliated? Things that are not successful enough are more than bad things." !"
The maid covered her face and knelt down, Sang Hongrui said coldly: "Prepare the sedan chair, go home!"
After she got on the sedan chair and walked out for a while, the maid who was kneeling on the ground got up tremblingly and chased after her.
Lu Qi didn't go with Sang Hongrui for a while, and Lu Mo was also a little angry with him.If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to blame the prince, but since everyone's surname is Lu, they don't have so many scruples.
Lu Mo said to Lu Qi: "Zixian, if you come to the house as a guest, we will welcome you very much, but next time you don't have to bring your side concubine over. I really feel annoyed when I see her."
Lu Qi stood up, bowed to them, and said politely: "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone. She is my side concubine, and I have to share in any mistakes. I will try my best to restrain her from now on. .”
Lu Mo gave him a curious look.She thought that Lu Qi would use the words of the scene to perfunctory, push all the faults on Sang Hongrui, or just walk away, after all, she also knew that her attitude was very bad.
But the other party really lowered his figure like this and came to apologize to her. Lu Mo had never seen Lu Qi speak like this before, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him.
Because she wanted to save people, she somehow married such a crazy woman and gave her military power.Now I have to worry about her affairs, and when I think about Sang Hongrui's frivolous look that is always arrogant and domineering, thinking that he is right, I guess Lu Qi will have to solve a lot of troubles for her in the future. Thinking about it this way, it is true awful.
Even she has such thoughts, and the other servants are even more so.Sang Hongrui has long been a celebrity in the capital. Seeing her come out of Zhen Guogong's mansion angrily, and the King of Linzhang left indifferently after a while, everyone can vaguely guess what happened—it must be this She offended someone again, let the king of Linzhang give her the bottom line.
Many people quietly pointed out, telling their sons that they should be cautious when marrying a wife in the future, and they must not find such unruly and willful ones. Those who have daughters are determined to discipline them strictly, and they must never teach their girls to be like Miss Sang Hong. .It is said that the King of Linzhang is really kind and righteous, and he is willing to come forward and take her to make an apology after the trouble has become like this.
This incident also had a consequence.Although the king of Linzhang is not as popular as Bai Yiling among the people, he is of such a noble background, handsome in appearance and gentle in demeanor. Whenever he encounters natural disasters, he will distribute food widely, and there are many women who secretly agree with him. .As a result, with Sang Hongrui's reputation, no one dared to approach Lu Qi anymore.
Sang Hongrui's various domineering behaviors changed after being passed on, and she was almost described as a blue-faced and long-toothed hag. of.For Lu Qi, even though there was some ridicule, there was more sympathy, so that even the King of Youzhou, who hadn't been to Beijing for decades, had a bad reputation.
Sang Hongjin came out of the palace in cold sweat, and when he heard these words again, he felt extremely sorry, and brought a lot of gifts to the Linzhang Palace to apologize to Lu Qi.
Lu Qi was still very polite to him, he just sighed and said: "I have known your sister for many years, even though she was spoiled before, her temperament was not like this, but since she entered the palace, her behavior has become more and more deviant. It’s almost like having epilepsy when I was in bed. Sometimes I can’t figure it out, why did I become like this?”
After so many things happened, he still said it like this, and he had already said it in a friendly manner. Sang Hongjin felt ashamed and his face turned red.The people in my family know that Sang Hongrui lost her mother since she was a child, and her personality is indeed a bit extreme. Usually, everyone is used to her, and if there is something that she can't get or doesn't go her way, then everyone will be angry. I can't control it, I'm afraid even she can't control herself.
There are other women in Lu Qi's mansion, so she can't accept it with her domineering temperament, this kind of depression has accumulated over time, it is really not crazy but half crazy.Sang Hongjin's first thought was that if she was a concubine, she would have a status, so it would be easy to say, but who would have thought that Gao Guilie's incident would happen by accident, and the matter would get out of hand from then on.
He didn't know that Lu Qi liked Bai Yiling. He thought that Sang Hongrui hated Bai Yiling just because he felt that he had suffered for him, and he also felt that the girl was unreasonable. He sighed and said, "It's us I didn't discipline her well, my royal father loved her since she was a child, even I can't compare to her, and it's even more difficult to discipline...My lord, I really feel sorry for you."
Lu Qi shook his head: "Since she is married to me, you don't have to say that. Just go on like this, and if you don't say anything else, all kinds of rumors in Beijing are enough. Do you know what others say about Youzhou King's?"
He glanced at Sang Hongjin meaningfully: "It is said that he is cruel and easy to kill, widowed and righteous, but he is just a prince, but he spoils his daughter so much that even the son of the princess dares to beat him - that is in a busy city, people Everyone can see it!"
Sang Hongjin's heart skipped a beat, and after Lu Qi's suggestion, he immediately figured out the key point of this matter.
It's not that he offended the government of Zhenguo, it's not that he offended the emperor, but the impression of Sang Hong's family in the hearts of the people has been extremely bad!
From the very beginning when Sang Hongrui married into the Linzhang Palace, Sang Hongjin knew in his heart that Lu Qi wanted to use their strength. In fact, his father also wanted to aspire to the throne, and he also wanted to pretend to cooperate with the Linzhang King. Then replace it.They are strong and strong, and their biggest disadvantage is that they have not entered Beijing for many years, so it is difficult for the people to accept them.
It's all right now, when Sang Hongrui made a fuss, it wasn't "difficult" at all, but "difficult as hard as climbing the sky".Once there is an incident, it is not a small resistance to encounter resistance from civilian volunteers.
He thought too late!
Sang Hongjin couldn't help but glanced at Lu Qi, and suddenly felt a subtle and weird feeling.Sang Hongrui is the daughter of Youzhou Prince's Mansion and the daughter-in-law of Linzhang Prince's Mansion. When she started a quarrel, the reputation of the two families should have been stinky, but now it turns out that King Youzhou's reputation is extremely bad, and King Linzhang has become everyone. An object of sympathy - a very different ending!
He couldn't help but wonder if Lu Qi already knew about King Youzhou's plans and the consequences Sang Hongrui would cause. All of this was not planned by him, but he was quietly promoting it. The purpose was, Let my family see no hope of getting things done, but can only support him wholeheartedly!
——But if he can even estimate these, then this person is really terrible!
Sang Hongjin was startled and suspicious, so he went to look at Lu Qi quietly, but saw that he had a dejected look on his face, and he was just drinking for himself, but he couldn't really tell what he was thinking.
What's more, when things got to this point, no matter whether he could tell whether Lu Qi was intentional or unintentional in this matter, it was already too late, and he could only take one step at a time. In short, the two sides now have no other choice but to cooperate.
He was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "My lord's worry is justified, it seems that if you don't teach her, it really won't work."
Sang Hongrui didn't know about the conversation between her husband and her brother. At this moment, she was sitting alone in her dark room with her hands on her belly.
Of course she knew that she was not pregnant, but in fact, Sang Hongrui hoped that it was true when she told Bai Yiling that "I am pregnant".She was jealous of Qiu Zhen, so jealous.
Before she got married, her temperament was very pampered and brutal. If her usual behavior was considered normal, she would be like a lunatic when she encountered something related to Lu Qi. mood.
After finally marrying Lu Qi, both the marriage process and her married life were not satisfactory, which made her even more irritable, otherwise she would not deliberately find fault with Bai Yiling.
But if you can't change it, you can't change it, but Sang Hongrui knew in his heart that Lu Qi was becoming more and more impatient with him.
She suddenly remembered when she just got married.At that time, Lu Qi was in a bad mood and didn't touch her, but his attitude was gentle.
Later, she couldn't get angry and made a few fights, and Lu Qi gradually no longer tolerated it, and the relationship between the two became more and more rigid, so that from the beginning of the quarrel to the current indifference, no matter how much trouble she made, she would never be able to bear it again. Not even the slightest bit of attention from Lu Qi - even if he was angry!
Is it going to continue like this in the future?Sang Hongrui thought of his indifferent face, panicked in his heart, stood up suddenly from the bed, and was about to run out with his skirt.
As a result, she pushed the door open and bumped into a person who was about to come in. The person stopped and did not speak.Sang Hongrui looked up and saw that it was Lu Qi.
She suddenly felt a sense of grievance from the bottom of her heart, and besides that, there was also a trace of regret that she didn't want to admit.
Sang Hongrui hugged Lu Qi's waist, and cried, "Brother Zixian, can we not do this? We used to say a few words by chance and have a meal, and we would be very happy. Why are we together every day now?" What happened, but things turned out like this? I was wrong, brother Zixian, I won’t make trouble in the future, can we live a good life? I’ll change it, I’ll really change it!”
It was rare for her to say such a thing, Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, he pulled Sang Hongrui's arm to pull her away from his body, and said calmly, "Come with me."
After he finished speaking, he led Sang Hongrui straight forward. Although he didn't look sideways and his expression was cold, he didn't seem to be too heartless anyway. Sang Hongrui hurriedly followed, and the two of them reached the corner of the palace. A remote courtyard.Because no one has lived in the mansion since it was built, it looks a bit desolate.
Sang Hongrui was scared: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Qi didn't answer, and said to himself: "I remember telling you many times, telling you not to provoke the Sheng family, let alone trouble Bai Yiling. You always think that I protect them and not you. How can you tell if you have a whole body of right and wrong?"
After he finished speaking, he took a look at Sang Hongrui: "I heard you were scared by a snake?"
It's okay if Lu Qi doesn't say anything, but when Sang Hongrui heard the word "snake", he felt trembling all over his body, and his chest felt nauseated, as if he smelled that stench again, and touched the slippery snake skin on the giant python's body. She was so frightened that tears fell in clusters: "I was wrong, I will not dare in the future, and I will never trouble Bai Yiling again. Brother Zixian, just forgive me for a while, okay?" ?I beg you!"
Lu Qi snorted lightly: "This is indeed your best attitude ever, but you'll never do it again after you say it, and you're the one who gets old-fashioned again and again. My patience has run out this time. Come on!" "
Sang Hongrui looked at him in surprise and fear, and saw Lu Qi ordering to the servant who came over: "Lock her here and find someone to watch her. She is only allowed to eat two steamed buns and one bowl of water every day. How does she make trouble, as long as she dares to step out of this door, I only ask you."
Sang Hongrui said sharply: "What are you doing? You can't lock me up! Lu Qi, you are not a thing, I want my elder brother to pick me up!"
The voice stopped abruptly, she stared blankly at Sang Hongjin who came out from the other side, and was so shocked that she lost her voice: "Brother, you, why don't you..."
Sang Hongjin looked away: "You have done so many wrong things, and you should learn a lesson. When you change, I will come and pick you up personally."
Sang Hongrui was shocked and angry: "Why do you even say I was wrong, are you crazy?! I am your sister, do you know how Lu Qi treats me? He has been trying his best to treat me coldly and torture me, Driving me crazy, I am now driven by him! You, you treat me like this, have you thought about how to explain to dad?!"
Sang Hongjin endured and endured, and when he heard that Sang Hongrui was still threatening people with his father, he finally said angrily: "I knew I was wrong after I said it, and started to hurt people again. It's useless to talk about this at any time! It's all other people's fault, not yours. If you're not crazy, why do people treat you coldly? You dare to mess with Bai Yiling, do you really want to involve the whole family in being buried with him?"
He pushed Sang Hongrui away, and let her be dragged to the room prepared in advance by his servants.Sang Hongrui desperately wanted to go out, but was pushed back. Hearing the sound of the lock outside the room, she couldn't help shaking.
There were no candles in the room because she was afraid that she would set fire to the room in case of madness.The grass in the garden outside grew tall, and in the darkness, she always felt as if a snake would come out of any corner at any time.
Sang Hongrui was trembling with fright, ran over and smashed the door frantically, and shouted: "Let me out, let me out, I really don't dare to lose my temper again! Brother Zixian! Brother! Please let me go!" Get out, you can’t leave me alone! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo……”
The door panel she slapped slammed, and almost half of the palace heard the sound, but everyone pretended to be dead, and no one paid attention to her.Sang Hongjin stood dumbfounded for a moment, then flung his sleeves and left.
Qiu Zhen heard it from inside the room, with a sneer on her face, she ordered her servants: "Open the door, I want to listen carefully."
It's a pity that she didn't appreciate it for too long. Sang Hongrui grew up rich and well-clothed. She has never suffered from such hardships. She only has two steamed buns and a bowl of water every day. She soon feels exhausted and can't even shout. Moved.
When the whole thing came to an end, I am afraid that the fox raised by Sang Hongrui could be said to be a blessing in disguise.Bai Yiling's guess was correct. At that time, Sang Hongrui left the cockfight angrily after being cleaned up by Lu Mo. His resentment was first vented on the big red fox.
Lu Yu went there in time, and the big fox was rescued by him with a slight injury. At this moment, he was lying a little cautiously in the grass of the imperial garden and basking in the sun.It's just an ordinary fox that can't change into a human being or speak.
The weather was getting warmer and spring was just in time, Lu Yu and Bai Yiling sat face to face in the pavilion, Bai Yiling was holding a dossier in his hand, and in front of Lu Yu was a plate of loquat fruit.
This thing is also called acacia, also known as a seedless cherry. It is different from the roundness and plumpness of cherries. The forked loquat is naturally heart-shaped. At this time, it is placed in a plate made of glass, and each one is bright red, which is really beautiful. .It was not available on the market in early spring, and the palace paid tribute to it.
Lu Yu picked out the best-looking ones, handed them to Bai Yiling's mouth one by one to feed him, and rested his cheek with his other hand, as if watching him eat was happier than eating himself.
Bai Yiling didn't look up, Lu Yu glanced at the file in his hand, and asked, "Are you still looking at the scientific examination case? By the way, I didn't ask you last time, how do you feel after meeting He Zicheng?"
Bai Yiling thought about it for a while: "I want to cover it up, but I'm vacillating."
Lu Yu said, "How do you say it?"
Bai Yiling said: "At the beginning, those examinees said that He Zicheng was ignorant, eating, drinking and having fun, and he was a dude who knew nothing. When I dealt with him, I felt that there were some things that he didn't seem to know, but he seemed to be pretending to be something. I don’t understand. For example, when I compared him with the content of “The Doctrine of the Mean”, the expression on his face for a moment didn’t look like he had never heard of panic, but he was about to blurt out, but he endured it and told me he does not know."
Lu Yu said: "I've heard that you pretend to understand when you don't know it. It's the first time I've seen such a fresh product. In fact, I also thought about it when I saw He Zicheng in the cockfighting arena. You said he put business It’s so big, and it’s quite intelligent in speaking and doing things. If you really want to cheat, how can you be so stupid as to copy a Huiyuan all at once? It’s so public, it’s almost like waiting for someone to check.”
Bai Yiling also felt this way, that's why he played that game of chess with He Zicheng.The so-called chess is like a person, sometimes a person's chess moves can just reflect his character, which is not easy to cover up.
What's more, Bai Yiling is considered a master in the game of Go. When He Zicheng played chess with him, he was always pressing every step of the way. Apart from concentrating on finding a way to deal with it, it was difficult to separate his mind from thinking about other things. However, Bai Yiling was still playing chess with him. He speaks.
He vaguely felt that He Zicheng was struggling in his chess moves and speech, as if he was hesitating to sacrifice something to accomplish something.
Lu Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then asked Bai Yiling: "You said that the rumors that you suspected there was a problem with this exam at first, could he have released it himself?"
Bai Yiling said, "I think it's possible."
Lu Yu thought for a while, then raised his voice, "Call Shang Xiao over here!"
Shang Xiao soon appeared in the pavilion and saluted Bai Yiling and Lu Yu.
Lu Yu said: "Who in our clan likes to listen to gossip the most?"
Shang Xiao didn't expect Lu Yu to ask such a question, he thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's... Qi Ji?"
Lu Yu said, "Are you sure?"
Shang Xiao cautiously said: "I don't know what His Majesty will order him to do? As far as I know, Qi Ji has been addicted to listening to books since he came to the capital with you. In his spare time, he always likes to go to wineries and teahouses to listen to The brothers all know the jokes that come out of the streets and alleys."
He thought for a while, and then said to Bai Yiling: "Ah, he has met the third son of the Duke of Zhen's mansion a few times, and he gets along very well with your elder brother!"
Bai Yiling and Lu Yu looked at each other, and at the same time they imagined that Qi Ji and Sheng Ji were sitting side by side in a teahouse, listening lifelessly to the gentleman in the middle of the lobby telling anecdotes and gossips. Expressionless.
Two people: "..."
Suddenly feel very cold.
Lu Yu said, "Go and call Qi Ji over."
People in Kyoto live a prosperous life and have a lot of spare money. Various entertainment activities to kill time are very popular, and one of them is listening to gossip.Therefore, what the storyteller tells is not only the stories of ancient heroes or famous officials of the dynasty, but also the short and interesting stories of street parents.
Shang Xiao got the order and left in a hurry, Bai Yiling rushed to Lu Yu and said, "I don't think Qi Ji is that kind of fox."
Lu Yu said deeply, "Trust him."
Bai Yiling: "...you obviously don't even believe it yourself."
Lu Yu fed him a loquat fruit.
On this day, Qi Ji was on duty, and Shang Xiao found him without too much trouble. Lu Yu asked, "Have you been in the teahouse recently to listen to gossip?"
Qi Ji glanced at Shang Xiao, who pretended not to know anything.
Qi Ji said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I'm going to listen to the book."
He accentuated the pronunciation of the last two words.
Lu Yu was amused and curious, and asked casually, "Then what did you hear?"
When he asked like this, Qi Ji didn't know what Lu Yu wanted to hear. He was a little puzzled at first, and then he glanced at Bai Yiling, showing an expression of sudden understanding.
He said to Bai Yiling with great pain: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my subordinates can't bully you."
Bai Yiling: "Your words are a bit like that... before the treacherous officials framed Zhongliang."
Qi Ji said: "I naturally believe in the character of the county king, but it's just that the rumors will change if they spread. If your majesty has heard about this matter, you can explain it."
"The latest rumor in Kyoto is that Lord Bai took a fox to a pet competition in the west of the city a few days ago, but he met the side concubine of the Linzhang King and had a conflict. It is said that Lord Bai and the fox behaved very differently before the competition started. Afterwards, when the side concubine of the Linzhang king wanted to hurt the fox, the lord was very angry and wanted to slap the side concubine of the Linzhang king because of the fox, what else did he say..."
Qi Ji said dryly: "If you want to live with it for a lifetime, is the fox more important than people?"
Bai Yiling: "..."
It seems that he said this, but it should be that he was in a hurry to talk to Sang Hongrui at that time. He didn't feel much when he said it at that time, but Qi Ji said it emphatically at this time, which seemed a bit ambiguous.
Guessing the affectionate behavior in front, slapping the princess as a fox, they are all made up based on the latter two sentences.
Qi Ji never thought that a fox that participated in the pet competition would be his boss, and the eyes he looked at Bai Yiling were full of accusations, "Do you have a fox outside, do you want our majesty?"
Bai Yiling couldn't help asking: "So after this incident got out, what did everyone say?"
Qi Ji spoke obediently.
Some people said that Lord Bai did not recognize his biological parents back then, and he was not familiar with His Highness Duke Huai who had just returned to the capital, but at that time he had already started raising foxes, so it is understandable that he has such deep feelings for foxes.
This is the most normal statement, and many people nodded in agreement.Everyone knows Lord Bai's life experience. It is not easy for a child to grow up alone. He raises pets like family members. The side concubine of Linzhang Wang is ignorant and shoots with arrows when she comes up. Who can bear this? What about tone?
But the bad thing about this is that Bimozhai has recently published a new storybook - which tells the story of an ancient classic vixen and a little scholar.
