"Just wait a little longer." Chuning thought for a while, and said, "You have to train wolves to become sheep, so that you can raise them in captivity with peace of mind."

"That's true." Bai Su said, and then asked: "Isn't it time for Li Yan to plan something?"

"Li Yan's side is a troublesome matter." Chuning turned over, leaned on Bai Su, and said, "As the son of the former emperor, he has taken up the title of righteousness, and we are also involved in this time. The name of the first emperor... If Li Yan reacts and spreads the decree to Liaodong, we will be in a dilemma whether to accept it or not."

If you accept it, you will become a minister, and you will admit Li Yan's status as emperor; To lose face is to lose faith in the world.

Personally, Chuning is not afraid of cheating, just like she used to talk nonsense in previous years, writing and directing the life experience of the fairy dreaming.But as the leader of a regime with a vast territory and a large number of people, Chuning could no longer be so reckless and reckless.

In this era, there are often wars and killings that best reflect the evil of human nature, but there are also faith and righteousness that best reflect the goodness of human nature. From a certain point of view, this is an era full of paradoxes. Faith and righteousness The two words are even greater than the status of the law in people's hearts.

For example, after Yao Nan's death, Peng Yong and a few gangsters agreed to give Aunt Yao a pension, and they fulfilled their promise for ten years. Serving on a little maidservant, she is really honoring her as her own mother.

For another example, two people start a business together, but the capital is only enough for one person to get rich first, so it is agreed that the person who gets rich first will help the person who is still poor.A few years later, after Chuning had forgotten about the incident, he happened to pass by the street, but saw the two people shouting across the street, smiling and tending to their own shops.

This is the value of faith and righteousness.

In Chuning's previous life, there was a period of history of the Three Kingdoms that was often discussed repeatedly, and the most controversial figures in it were undoubtedly Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Cao Cao was very talented, destroyed Er Yuan, eliminated Lu Bu, surrendered the Huns, conquered Wuhuan, and after unifying the north, he implemented the farming system, appeased the refugees, reformed the household registration, built water conservancy, advocated integrity, prevented the merger of powerful and powerful, and restored agricultural production. It has been restored and developed, leaving behind many soul-stirring and eternal masterpieces.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei is much inferior in terms of seeking talent, essay talent, governance talent, and merit. people's good name.

Whenever people in later generations mentioned Liu Bei, they would sing praises for him, praise him for his benevolence and righteousness, and then pull Cao Cao out to criticize him, calling him "I would rather teach me to blame the world than to teach the world to blame me" is a model of extreme selfishness , is a traitor in troubled times.

Is Cao Cao really a traitor in troubled times?

But it's not entirely true. If it wasn't for Liu Bei's surname Liu, if it wasn't for Liu Bei and Sun Quan and other forces who had been fighting against him all the time, with Cao Cao's ability to govern the world, it is unknown that the people of the world might have a better life.

Of course, this is Chuning's prejudice. She admires Cao Cao's talent, but she doesn't want to bear the eternal infamy like Cao Cao. It is precisely because of this that Chuning finds Li Yan's existence quite troublesome.

If you surrender, you will become the fish on the anvil and the meat under the knife.

If you don't be a minister, you will bear the crime of morality. Regardless of success or failure in the future, you will be dragged out of the dust of history by later generations and whipped in the name of "benevolence, justice and righteousness".

While Bai Su was chatting with Chuning, Feng Jiuqing blocked Li Rui outside her courtyard and asked, "I heard you went to Jizhou?"

"Yes."

Feng Jiuqing has an external affairs department under his command, and it is not difficult to know Li Rui's whereabouts, so Li Rui readily admits it.

"What are you doing in Jizhou at such an urgent time?"

"Don't you know?" Seeing Feng Jiuqing's eagerness to ask, Li Rui was very calm, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I went to see Su Mingyue, the legendary peerless beauty..."

In addition to being a beauty, Su Mingyue is also the sister of the false emperor Liu Ling. Feng Jiuqing was suddenly suspicious: "...what do you see her for?"

"Of course it's to reveal the military situation." Li Rui said, "See if I can persuade her and make her work for me."

"...Junior Sister can't do anything about her, how can you convince her?"

"Your junior sister has someone in her heart. If you don't want to give up your child, how can you catch a wolf?" Li Rui approached Feng Jiuqing and whispered in her ear: "I am different. I am alone, and I am pretty, and I am Daqing again. Why is it impossible for the direct descendants of the imperial family to 'sleep' and serve Su Mingyue?"

Li Rui deliberately said the word 'sleep' very emphatically, and he saw Feng Jiuqing's face tightened, showing a bit of anger: "Impossible! Su Mingyue just..."

"What's the matter? Don't you like women?" Li Rui smiled lightly: "You haven't tried it, how do you know she doesn't like it?"

"..."

"Actually, there are not so many likes and dislikes between people. It just depends on whether they are suitable or not." Seeing that Feng Jiuqing was so angry that he had nothing to say, Li Rui made an inch: "Bai Su and Su Mingyue are from the same background. , both were not loved by their parents, they were both displaced, but they took two completely different life paths, Su Mingyue must be jealous and dissatisfied. But I am different, born noble, rich and well-clothed, is the life Su Mingyue most yearns for. When she stands in front of me, she loses her aura and fears, if I, Li Rui, can't persuade such a person, then what's the use of my life?"

Before going to Jizhou, Li Rui met Su Mingyue once, and later went to check her past, and knew the difference between Su Mingyue and Bai Su——Bai Su's ambition is Lingyun, her vision is broad, and she has never felt sorry for herself Heart, also know what kind of road you are walking.But Su Mingyue wrote her pride on her face and her inferiority in her heart. Even though she praised Liu Ling as a false emperor, even though she herself has become the eldest princess of a false man...but when facing Bai Su, she Still feel jealous, still feel God is unfair.

However, when Su Mingyue really faced the injustice of the heavens, she forgot her jealousy—compared to Bai Su, Li Rui was the real proud daughter of the heavens.

"Then you...then you really..." Although she knew that Li Rui must be talking nonsense, Feng Jiuqing felt that she couldn't accept it. She felt that maybe she had drunk too much wine just now, which is why she gave birth to such a thing. However, he couldn't help but test: "You... you really put her... put her..."

If it was Bai Su or Chu Ning who said so lightly, Feng Jiuqing would definitely not believe it, but if this person was replaced by Li Rui, she would not be sure-if Li Rui really didn't want to stay in Liaodong, he really wanted to pull himself up If there is no power, it is undoubtedly an excellent choice to form an alliance with the Jizhou puppet Han.

The Jizhou puppet has no one but Su Mingyue, and Li Rui can just make up for Su Mingyue's shortcomings. If the two of them really join forces... Thinking of this, Feng Jiuqing couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat, but saw Li Rui staring at her With an unpredictable smile: "Want to know?"

Feng Jiuqing took a step back and said bitterly: "...I will find out by myself sooner or later!"

"When you find out, at least it will be ten days and a half months later. By then, maybe I will already..." Li Rui reminded with a light smile: "If Sister Qing really wants to know, you might as well talk to me Go back to the room and talk about..."

"Don't think about it!"

Going back to the room with you, how can I have time to talk about it?Maybe it was played by you again, and in the end, the world was turned upside down.

Feng Jiuqing left angrily, Li Rui suppressed her smile, stood in front of her courtyard with folded arms, staring at her back in a daze.

The maid came over and reminded in a low voice: "Princess, the hot water is ready, do you want to take a bath?"

"Okay." Li Rui stepped into the bathroom, turned around again, and called the maid: "From now on, don't call me the princess again."

The maid was shocked, thinking that she had made a mistake, she quickly knelt down: "Princess..."

"Although I am a descendant, I am ranked third among my brothers and sisters... From now on, you can call me the third girl, or the third lady." Li Rui waved his hand, signaling the maid to step back, undressed alone, and sneaked into the bath.

Candle shadows flicker outside the bath, and tulle dances lightly, just like that cold summer night more than ten years ago.

At that time, Li Rui was not yet 13 years old, which was the age when people would dislike her as a dog. Her biological mother had long since passed away. Although she was a legitimate daughter, she received very limited care. He spends his days wandering around outside, not caring what his aunts have done to his family.

At that time, Li Rui was young and energetic, and hadn't learned so many tricks. She fought with her aunts a few times and was taught a lesson. In her anger, she ran out of the palace overnight and was going to cry at her uncle's house.

However, she ran impulsively, and forgot to bring her maid to accompany her. After walking around for a few times, she lost her way. Feng Jiuqing happened to pass by, and thought she was a vagrant from some family, so she picked her up.

Feng Jiuqing is quite like an ancient gentleman, he can't see the weak suffering, to put it bluntly, he is nosy.Although she herself was not doing very well at the time, she seemed to have just returned from the Western Regions and made a living selling paintings on the street and writing letters for others, but she treated Li Rui very well.

After earning money, buy something delicious and give it to Li Rui to eat first. What's so fun, as long as Li Rui wants it, she will definitely buy it...

Li Rui was born in the palace. Although her father is not good-natured, and her aunts don't follow the rules, as a daughter-in-law, she is the face of the palace, and she has never been wronged in terms of basic necessities of life—but it doesn't mean she has been wronged. caring.

The other brothers and sisters in the family can act like a baby in her mother's arms, but she can't - even, she can't remember her mother's face at all, and she can't remember the feeling of being hugged by her mother...

Feng Jiuqing at that time, just like now, had pity for everyone and treated everyone tenderly, even for a child she picked up by chance, she did her best to love and care for her.

When going out to sell paintings, she would lead Li Rui along and protect her inside so that she would not be hit by vehicles and pedestrians passing by on the street.

When writing letters on the street, she would also take Li Rui by her side, caring for Li Rui from time to time, telling Li Rui not to go too far, not to get lost...

It was the first time for the young Li Rui to receive such care. While she was on guard, she began to enjoy this kind of care - for example, she would hide in a corner, waiting for Feng Jiuqing to find her in a hurry.

Deliberately walking far away, let Feng Jiuqing find out and bring her back.

She would deliberately quarrel with the children in the alley, and then let herself be injured. After listening to Feng Jiuqing scolding those children, causing them to cry, she would be chased away by the parents of those children, and then buy caramel to make amends... …

That period of time was Li Rui's happiest time so far. She could even remember every detail clearly. Fragments of memory.

But later, this sweetness was turned into bitterness, and Li Rui's situation also changed accordingly, because Feng Jiuqing was fascinated by a picture of a crane when he happened to pass by Baihualou, and since then he has tried every possible means to sneak into the building and inquire about the place. The owner of the painting, who often chatted with the owner of the painting, was no longer as usual, always focusing on Li Rui.

At that time, Li Rui didn't know what love was. He only knew that Feng Jiuqing's eyes no longer belonged to her alone, nor did Feng Jiuqing's concern belong to her alone. The owner of the painting ransoms herself, how can I save her from suffering...

This kind of Feng Jiuqing made Li Rui very angry. When he was angry, he left angrily and hid in the corner of the street waiting for Feng Jiuqing to come to find her... Unfortunately, Feng Jiuqing came out to look for her, but found a The opposite way, but Li Rui couldn't wait for a long time, and didn't want to be ashamed to go back by himself, so he found an official family, reported his identity, and asked someone to send her back to the palace.

Later, Li Rui heard that Feng Jiuqing had cheated his father, and every time the two met, it became tense.

After reminiscing about these past events, the hot water in the pool was still half-cooled, Li Rui was refreshed and comfortable, and the fatigue of searching the classics all day was soaked away. I felt in my heart that this Chu Wenhe's house-building skills are really the best in the world Wushuang, especially this bathroom, satisfied Li Rui the most.

After changing his clothes and going back to his room, he saw Feng Jiuqing standing outside the door, and said, "I... I'm here! Tell me quickly!"

"Untie the sword, come in and say."

Li Rui stepped into the room first with a dark face, thinking angrily - how terrifying is the princess who came to the "private meeting" in the middle of the night with a sword?

At this moment, Li Ruiran completely forgot that he didn't want the maid to be called princess.
