The old man then said, "there are not many people who know about it. It's said that the nunnery was invited by Princess Jing. I also heard from your majesty that Zhuang Jinse expelled his closest friend out of the palace in order to dominate the power. "

Xiao LIULANG frowned and said, "Your Majesty must think that the Empress Dowager's kindness to him and Princess Jing in those years was a well planned plan. The Empress Dowager only wanted a puppet."

The old toaster nodded: "yes, your majesty does have this idea. In fact, not only your majesty, but people all over the world think so. Even the mother family makers of the Empress Dowager think that the Empress Dowager has been playing for so many years. "

All the people in the world are holding grievances for Princess Jing and the emperor. No one cares about Zhuang Jinse's cold heart.

No one asked if there was another secret behind Zhuang Jinse's betrayal of his best friend.

Who is weak is reasonable.

Zhuang Jinse's power is destined to make people fear her, hate her, fear her, and wish that she could not be destroyed. Only no one will cherish her.

All the bad things will be easily calculated on her head, who let her ignore the cardinal principles? Who let her dominate the imperial power!

Twilight slants to the West.

The evening glow fell on the cornice of the Dougong of Renshou palace, crossing a dazzling golden light.

When empress dowager Zhuang finished nearly half of her government affairs, she felt wordless and tired.

The days of the Imperial Palace are not as leisurely as outsiders imagine. There are mountains of setbacks, endless political affairs, endless disputes, and so on. Each of them is mercilessly destroying people's will.

"Empress Dowager." Duke Qin stepped in slowly and offered a cup of flower tea painfully. "Have a rest. Have a meal first. It's the same with these folds tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is tomorrow's day." Empress Dowager Zhuang picked up another book and said, "I'm not hungry."

Qin Gonggong said earnestly: "if you are not hungry, you have to eat something. If you are tired, Miss Gu will feel sorry again."

Mentioning this, Empress Dowager Zhuang was angry and gave him a cold stare: "don't go to her for any trifles in the future! Don't think AI Jia really dare not chop your head! There are four eunuchs in my family. Don't forget how the first three died! "

It's all for you to behead

Duke Qin touched his neck on his shoulder and said bitterly, "yes, I dare not."

"Empress Dowager!"

Feicui, the maid in waiting, ran in excitedly.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang is upset. Everyone who provokes her will die!

Empress Dowager Zhuang is not a good person. She has killed people who don't have to be killed. She is so vicious!

"Drag it out --"

As soon as the word "stick death" came to her mouth, feicui gasped: "Mr. Xiao is here!"

The two words "stick dead" have their own ideas. They slide into the belly of Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes: "let him in."

Duke Qin smiles secretly.

Xiao LIULANG went into the study of the side hall. While looking at the fold, Empress Dowager Zhuang asked carelessly, "haven't you gone? Why are you back? "

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen?

Outside the door, Duke Qin almost smoked with a smile. Isn't it Xiao Xiuzhuan who came to deliver things in the morning and left without seeing anyone?

Xiao LIULANG said, "come and have a meal."

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted, "is there no food at home? I have to come here to eat. "

Xiao LIULANG nodded frankly: "well, there is no food to eat."

Become shameless, a look is by Huo Xian that old guy with crooked!

Empress Dowager Zhuang squinted angrily.

Duke Qin coughed lightly and said, "empress dowager, I'm going to let people set the table."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Xiao LIULANG turned his head and said to Duke Qin.

"Ah Duke Qin answered happily and went happily.

Empress Dowager Zhuang clenched her teeth and said, "well, everyone eats inside and outside. Renshou palace is no longer Zhuang, is it?"

Dinner in Lingxiang Pavilion, and study in the same side hall.

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't mean to have dinner.

Xiao LIULANG reluctantly showed a little grievance and said, "I'm hungry, aunt."

Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes again. Then she reluctantly put down the fold and went to Lingxiang pavilion with Xiao LIULANG.

Duke Qin didn't know that Xiao LIULANG had come here. Some dishes were fried now. He had been to Bishui Hutong so many times, and he knew Xiao LIULANG's taste.

Empress Dowager Zhuang retreated from her servants.

Xiao LIULANG brought a chopstick of vegetables to empress dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang frowned: "I don't want to eat this!"

"To eat." Xiao LIULANG gave her another piece of pork, but he removed the fat part.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's face turned black into charcoal.

Are you here to eat with me? I think you're looking for death!

Empress Dowager Zhuang is very angry! The consequences are serious!

"I didn't have dinner with my grandmother when I was a child. She didn't like my mother, so she didn't like me either," he said

Empress Dowager Zhuang's anger burned to half and was put out.

Empress Dowager Zhuang has also heard a little about the relationship between Princess Xinyang and old lady Xiao. Old lady Xiao used to like a rich family's daughter, gentle and quiet.

But the one who wanted Xuanping to marry was a Buddha. He couldn't beat or scold her. He had to salute her when he saw her.

Mr. Xiao is very popular. It is said that he doesn't like Princess Xinyang's son very much. On the contrary, he loves his two grandchildren.

Xiao LIULANG didn't mind this at all. He was just playing the sympathy card.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Zhuang felt sorry for someone and couldn't brush someone's mind again. She ate the vegetable leaf with a black face and a look of disgust.

Xiao LIULANG's lips slightly and imperceptibly hooked down.

After that, Xiao LIULANG made up a lot of his miserable days in the hands of old lady Xiao, and successfully tricked the Empress Dowager into eating all the food she didn't want to eat.

When empress dowager Zhuang reacts, she finds that she has eaten half a bowl more than usual.

This is her normal appetite in Bishui Hutong, but after returning to the palace, her appetite has been reduced by more than half.

She's all skinny.

After a simple meal, the fool could see that empress dowager Zhuang was more comfortable than before.

After dinner, Xiao LIULANG didn't rush back, but went to the library built by the Empress Dowager.

The library is just opposite the study of Empress Dowager Zhuang, separated by a small garden.

Duke Qin opened the porch window very attentively.

As soon as empress dowager Zhuang turned her head, she could see Xiao LIULANG studying hard at the window of the library.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's irritable mood suddenly calmed down.

The deep palace is lonely, especially at night. It can make you crazy, helpless and desperate to escape, but you can't escape.

Empress Dowager Zhuang has lived in Shengong for decades, but she never thought it was her home.

However, at this moment, looking at the figure of the boy and feeling his silent company, Empress Dowager Zhuang felt a sense of peace and harmony that she had never felt before.

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the book again. It was dark. She still had a small pile to read, but she didn't plan to see it.

She was fair to Duke Qin: "you tell him that the sad family is going to have a rest, and he should go back."

Duke Qin answered with a smile: "yes."

The Empress Dowager refused to listen to his advice. Lord Xiao has a way.

"I don't know." Empress Dowager Zhuang stopped Duke Qin and sent two secret guards to escort him along the way. He's too close to AI's family. AI's family is worried that someone will do him harm. "

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

As for back to the blue water Hutong, there are two dark guards of Jiaojiao and Gu Yan, so there is no need to worry about anything.

"Yes."

Duke Qin asked people to prepare a carriage, personally sent Xiao LIULANG to the palace gate, and pointed out two experts to follow along the way.

In the woods not far away, several figures flashed by.

A quarter of an hour later, I couldn't see my fingers in the dark room.

A humanist in Black said: "I'll tell my master that the experts of Renshou Palace are following me along the way, but my subordinates can't succeed."

The figure in the dark lightly waved his hand: "back down."

The next day Xiao LIULANG took a rest, and the Imperial College had no classes.

Xiao LIULANG wakes up a little late in the morning because he sleeps late at night. Xiaojingkong has already got up. He goes to the backyard to wash and water his relatives by the way.

When Xiao LIULANG came to the backyard dressed neatly, he found two marquis in the yard, Xuanping Marquis and Ding'an marquis.

Xuanping marquis is here to accept xiaojingkong as an apprentice. He has thought that as long as he takes him as an apprentice, he will be able to enter the Hutong openly. At that time, it will be no problem to investigate Xiao LIULANG's life experience and please his daughter-in-law.

But coincidentally, the Duke of Ding'an also came to take up the small clearance as an apprentice.

As a matter of fact, he didn't leave last night because he was so scared that he got a blessing in disguise and spent the night in Bishui Hutong.

After getting up, he already knew that the child was his seed, and had nothing to do with Xuanping marquis. The reason why Xuanping Marquis appeared here was just because he fell in love with the little monk and wanted to accept him as an apprentice.

In the past, marquis Gu would not dare to compete with Marquis Xuanping, but it is related to whether he can live in Bishui Hutong.

Yes, he thought about it. Yao was pregnant, and the situation was special. She didn't want to go back to Hou's house, so he stayed with her for a while.

I'll wait until the baby is born.

For his wife and children to heat the Kang, marquis Gu fought!

Even if you are a Marquis of grade one, I can't shrink back because I've been oppressed by your identity!

Xuanping Hou put his hands in his sleeves. It was so hot that he could hold it. It was really admirable. He said carelessly: "if so, we should compete fairly and see who has the ability. Little monk, what do you think? "

Small clearance thought seriously: "good, good!"

He took two small cards and wrote a few words. Then he moved a small bench and sat on the bench and began to watch.

Marquis Gu snorted coldly and asked, "what does Marquis Xuanping want to compare with me?"

Xuanping Hou raised eyebrows: "face."

Marquis Gu almost choked to death

Is it OK to be so shameless?

Xiaojingkong raised the small card of his right hand: "Lord Xiao wins!"

Obviously, the bad brother-in-law's father-in-law is more beautiful than Jiaojiao's father-in-law.

But Jiaojiao is the best. Don't accept refutation!

Marquis Gu started before he could react. Then he lost. Where can he reason?

He clenched his teeth and showed a killing move: "recite poetry!"

Xuanping Marquis

艹!

So heartless!

Although the calligraphy and painting of marquis Gu were not satisfactory, he still had more ink in his stomach than Marquis Xuanping.

Xiao Jingkong tested five poems, but Marquis Gu recited two, but Marquis Xuanping couldn't recite a word.

Small clearance raised his left hand card: "Lord Gu wins!"

But then Marquis Gu wasn't so lucky. Apart from his poor knowledge, Marquis Xuanping didn't have other skills. Marquis Gu was crushed to death.

Even in the martial arts contest, it is clear that Xuanping Marquis also suffered from a waist injury, and he is still falling down when he hits Marquis Gu.

Marquis Gu didn't want to lose!

An hour later, the ambitious Marquis Gu was finally broken. He put himself in a big character, rolled his eyes and spat out his tongue, and collapsed on the steps.

"Great, great!" Xiaojingkong sits on a small bench, straightens his back and claps his hands.

Xuanping Marquis a hook, proud to say: "well, marquis won, you can worship Marquis as a teacher."

Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and said seriously, "but I already have a master! I can no longer worship you as my teacher! A good apprentice does not serve the second division! "

Isn't it a good girl who doesn't serve her husband?

Xuanping Hou frowned and began to doubt life.

Because he is not good at learning, it may be that he mistakenly remembers that a good apprentice does not serve the second teacher.

That's not the point. The point is that the kid played with him again!

Xuanping Hou gritted his teeth: "since you can't worship your teacher, what are you so excited to do?"

"I only said to see your competition, but I didn't say that I would have to worship my teacher after the competition. It was you who said it, but I didn't promise it!" said the small clearance stall

Xuanping Hou tooth pain!

Smelly little monk, what a pity!

Xuanping Marquis can't always fall in one place. The little monk wants to fight with him in another 500 years!

He snorted coldly and said in a powerful and domineering way: "I don't care, you have to agree, and you have to agree if you don't. Chang Jing

Chang Jing whew's flash body but enter, small clear space grabs to carry on the shoulder.

Small clear small arm crus son a burst of flutter: "Oh, what are you doing!"

"Take it away!" he said

Go to worship my ancestors!

"Oh, no, I don't want to!"

A little monk was chattering, but he was still mercilessly captured by a bad monkey!

Today, there is a class in Qinghe Academy. Gu Yan doesn't know what happened at home. Liu Quan came to take Gu Xiaoshun to master Lu's father and Nanxiang to study arts, but he didn't.

He's lazy again.

On the one hand, he didn't have much interest and ambition; on the other hand, his health was worse than that of ordinary people. Sitting in the carriage in the hot summer, he couldn't bear it.

He walked back leisurely, and before he took a few steps, an old man who was hale and hearty but still young came face to face.

"What a coincidence." The old man said with a smile.

"Well, what a coincidence." Gu Yan knows who he is. His grandfather Gu Chao.

The first time I came to see him outside the Academy, I was recognized by him.

He was only four years old when he left the capital, and he didn't see him for another eleven years. The old Marquis thought he didn't remember him.

In fact, Gu Yan did not remember, but the face of the Marquis was so representative that his grandparents and grandchildren all looked alike.

Moreover, he found that as long as the Marquis was close to him, his dark guard would stay away.

Gu Yan may not be able to study, but he is a real villain.

The old Marquis wanted to see his grandson, but he couldn't save face. He had to meet Gu Yan several times.

He thought Gu Yan didn't recognize him.

"I'm not going to study art today?" Asked the marquis.

"It's hot." Gu Yan said, "are you coming to see your grandson again?"

"Ah, yes," he said

Gu Yan asked knowingly, "did you see him?"

The old Marquis looked at Gu Yan and said with a dry smile, "I see."

"Oh." Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, "do you want to eat cold noodles today?"

The old Marquis was stunned at first, then nodded hastily: "yes, yes!"

They had cold noodles once before, and Gu Yan found that the Marquis liked them very much. Gu Yan's impression of the grandfather was not too bad.

In my impression, my grandfather treated him well and his mother well. When he and his mother moved to Chuang Tzu, my grandfather gave him two secret guards.

He has been sick several times in the middle of the night, and all of them fell asleep. If it wasn't for the dark guard to detect the abnormality in time, he might have died long ago.

After eating the peppermint jelly, Gu Yan felt his stomach and said, "last time you invited me, this meal I invited you! Reciprocity

The old Marquis said, "no need."

Gu Yan waved his hand: "it's OK. Although I don't have much money, I can earn some pocket money by doing short-term work every day. I can still afford a cold meal."

Old Marquis hears speech eyebrow is a Cu, his direct grandson unexpectedly reduced to give a person to make money by short-term work?

How can Gu Chong be a father!

Don't you give your son a month?!

"Where's your father?" Asked the marquis.

Gu Yan sighed: "my father, he forces me to move back every day. If I don't want to, he cuts off my monthly salary. As I told you, I was born prematurely, frail and suffering from heart disease. My sister worked very hard to support me. "

Is that wench for oneself kiss younger brother just go to do medical female?

I was wrong about her.
