thorns in the sky

Liu Li is very similar to Liu Qi when he was young, with elegant temperament and gentle manners, not only good-looking, but also very suitable for conversation.It's just that he grew up in a deep palace, had no father or mother, and had a Buddha-like empress dowager on his head to worship, so he couldn't spend his days and nights like Liu Qi, and he never lived a day of feasting and feasting.On the contrary, he has no time to play, he studies and practice martial arts all day long, his essays and martial arts skills are far superior to Liu Qi's back then.

When Liu Li got out of the carriage, he saw Chang Zibi and Wei Lue standing together, waiting for him in front of the Hou Mansion.Liu Li was panicked for a while, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Chang is there?" Chang Zibi knew that he and Liu Li were separated after hearing this, but he was helpless, so he smiled and said, "I just happened to pass by, let's see what Master Hou has." It will be useful." Now the feng shui has turned, and it has turned to his unlucky son as a marquis.

Liu Li entered the mansion together with Wei Lue and Chang Zibi, feeling uneasy.He thought about two high officials from the imperial court coming to greet him at his door, how could he, a helpless orphan, bear it?Both Wei Lue and Chang Zibi belonged to the young emperor's favourites, not the empress dowager's faction. The empress dowager knew about this, and she didn't know why she was suspicious of herself.

Liu Li sighed silently, but still smiled as usual.Seeing Liu Li's impeccable performance, Chang Zibi felt relieved, but knowing that Liu Li was feeling uncomfortable, she left early.Since he was going to leave, Wei Lue also wanted to resign, and Liu Li hurriedly wanted to see him off, Wei Lue smiled again: "How can you bear the Lord Hou to see you off? We two just go." Liu Li said: "Since I'm Lord Hou, and I do as I please, of course I have the final say. It's only a few steps away if I send one to two."

Liu Qi understands that Liu Li doesn't like publicity, and it's not good to leave through the main entrance, so he deliberately said: "I'm going to the East Street, so I should go through the side entrance." Liu Li just said what he meant, and sent Wei Lue and Liu Qi to Outside the door of the instrument, there are a few more polite words, that's all.

Wei Lue went out with Liu Qi, and Wei Lue laughed and said, "Master Liu is very polite." Chang Zibi said, "I heard that Mr. Wei and Mr. Liu are very close, so if you don't want him to treat Mr. Such politeness shows that he is indeed a very polite person." Wei Lue then said: "It is not easy for this child to live in the palace, and his temperament is more cautious." Liu Qi thought that he had grown up before he started to approach the Empress Dowager , even if there is something to be offended, I don't know what it's like for Liu Li to enter the palace with the Empress Dowager as a child?

This was originally a narrow alley from the side entrance of Lord Hou's Mansion to the outer street, the ground was not dirty, probably the people of the Hou Mansion would also clean up this small alley that they often come and go.The stone walls on both sides are also clean gray and white, and the canopy of the trees raised in the Hou's mansion protrude from the side of the wall. The branches are dense, but they can still cast light spots on Liu Qi's side face.Yuan Liu Qi lowered his head, feeling depressed in his heart, never realizing how beautiful the sun is on his eyelashes, and Wei Lue couldn't look away.Wei Lue seems to have sensed the sad sigh in Chang Zibi's heart, and he doesn't feel it.Chang Zibi raised her eyes when she heard him sigh, her soft and affectionate eyes were no different from Liu Qi's in the past.It was just such a glance, but Wei Lue felt his mind wandering and couldn't come back for a long time.But when Wei Lue came back to his senses, his arms were already around Liu Qi's waist, and their faces were very close.Wei Lue clearly knew that this move was quite rude, but he couldn't withdraw his hand because he lowered his head and saw Liu Qi's expression.

Liu Qi's expression did not appear to be abrupt at all.

The warm sunlight fell on the corners of Liu Qi's slightly raised mouth, just like Wei Lue's uncontrollable kiss.

Liu Qi and Wei Lue lightly pecked and kissed, and suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, the two young lovers who seemed to be caught, pushed each other away in a panic, blushing.

The sound of horseshoes came from the outer street. When the horseshoes approached, the seasoned and seasoned Liu Qi and Wei Lue also showed the calm look of the court officials, so the riders didn't notice it. What a strange.Liu Qi looked up, and there was a young man in fresh clothes sitting on the tall horse, with an air of fearlessness in his eyes, it was the Prince Ao Huan who made him jealous.

Ao Huan said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Mr. Zibi!"

Wei Lue didn't seem to have met Ao Huan before, so he was a little confused. Liu Qi was about to introduce him, but saw Ao Huan jump off his horse, and said to Wei Lue, "Hi, sir, my name is Ao Huan." Wei Lue nodded slightly, and said: "My surname is Wei, and the single name is an abbreviation." After speaking, Wei Lue looked at Ao Huan's figure and face, and said, "Master Ao is a foreigner?" Ao Huan touched his cheek , replied with a smile: "My handsome face is really not low-key!"

Ao Huan suddenly stretched out his hand, took Wei Lue's arm, and said with a smile, "It's better to meet each other by chance, shall we go have a drink?" Wei Lue was taken aback by this man's enthusiasm, but these foreigners really chattered normally. Yes, it's hard to say anything, Wei Lue said, "Of course it's a good thing, I still have official duties..." Hearing this, Ao Huan's round eyes showed undisguised disappointment, and he just let him go, Then he smiled again, pulled Chang Zibi up, and said, "Then let's go drink?" Liu Qi wanted to pull his hand back, but his strength couldn't hold back the young man who grew up eating meat on horseback, so Liu Qi had to freeze there, and said with a smile : "I also have official duties."

Ao Huan chuckled, and said, "What business do you have?" Chang Zibi said, "It's hard to tell you." Ao Huan asked curiously, "Is it a secret?" Chang Zibi replied Said: "Since it's a secret, you can't say it." Ao Huan let go of Chang Zibi's hand after hearing this, and said with a disappointed face: "Ah...ha, what a pity." A child who wants no sugar.

Ao Huan will always be like a very innocent child, just like Wei Lue will always be like a gentleman in an academy.

Liu Qi has raised Wei Lue for many years, but he has never discovered Wei Lue's calm and steady side.So many years later, Liu Qi met Wei Lue as a civil servant as Chang Zibi, and was quite surprised by the change in his temperament.He originally thought that the scholar's heavy appearance was the packaging that Wei Lue made to become an official, but now after getting along with him, Liu Qi realized that the pampered appearance in the backyard was the packaging—the packaging for gaining Liu Qi's favor.Instead, Liu Qi pretended to be smart and was kept in the dark.

Liu Qi, who discovered the truth, had mixed feelings in his heart.

It's also good that Wei Lue can be himself by Chang Zibi's side.Liu Qi and Wei Lue said that they should have official duties, that's fart, they just said it to fool Ao Huan, but they still went to the cabinet hall.The kiss in the narrow alley just now made Wei Lue's paws scratching his heart, his whole body was vigorous but not strong, he walked three steps behind Liu Qi - this is his usual habit, Chang Zibi is a rank higher than other officials, Therefore, if there were no special circumstances, he habitually walked behind Chang Zibi.He looked at Chang Zibi from behind, and felt that his waist was much thinner than Liu Qi's in memory.That Chang Zibi's waist can be said to be so thin that it is comparable to a court dancer.Looking at his waist, Wei Lue couldn't help remembering how he hugged his waist just now, and secretly hated himself for not touching it a few times.

Chang Zibi seemed to feel the two scorching gazes behind her, and suddenly turned around, looking at Wei Lue with a half-smile.Wei Lue was very reserved, and also showed a smile that was not a smile.Chang Zibi said, "What are your duties, Your Excellency?" Wei Lue stepped closer and said, "The state affairs are busy, and there are as many duties as you want." This is true, and the work is endless.See if you want to find something to do.

Chang Zibi looked at him and smiled again.The two entered the meeting hall, and when everyone saw them, they rushed to pay their respects.They walked into the inner hall again.This cabinet hall is exclusively used by cabinet members, and high-ranking members have their own study rooms, such as Chang Zibi and Wei Lue.Their study rooms were not in the same place, and when they reached the end of the courtyard, they separated.

When Chang Zibi returned to his study, the servants in the study hurriedly poured tea for him, and said, "Didn't your lord ask for leave today?" Chang Zibi smiled slowly, and said slowly, "But tell me Half a day off." Sheren sorted out some books and presented them to Chang Zibi for reading.Both Chang Zibi and Wei Lue also came to their positions in the cabinet from Sheren, so many Sheren took them as examples to learn from.This Sheren is a careful person, and looking at Chang Zibi's reading speed is much slower than usual, and every time he reads a few lines, he falls into incomprehensible contemplation, and his work attitude is extremely lax, which is quite different from usual.

Sheren was only busy adding water and grinding ink, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.But the Sheren smiled and said, "I don't know who it is." Chang Zibi pressed his pen and said lightly, "Could it be Wei Zhongshu?" , is Mr. Wei." Wei Lue entered the room with a smile, and said, "Why are you talking about me?"

Chang Zibi saw Wei Lue enter the room, watched the light and shadow cast more youthful breath on him, and unconsciously stroked his silver temples.Everyone said that Chang Zibi was good-looking, but she had a little gray hair.Then Chang Zibi wanted to say that he was actually old, not as young as Wei Lue.Wei Lue sat down after entering the room, and exchanged a few casual greetings with Chang Zibi.Sheren poured tea and then quietly retreated.Wei Lue was still a little cautious when he saw that the servant had left, but his body tilted slightly to the side of Zibi. Chang Zibi thought that he was going to kiss her again, but he didn't want Wei Lue to point at the paper on Chang Zibi's case, Said: "Adults are as careful as dust, can you write other characters?" Chang Zibi then looked at the document, and found that he had written the wrong word. He was stunned for a moment, but also smiled: "How can people Don’t make mistakes? Thank you Lord Wei for correcting me.”

As he said that, Chang Zibi raised his pen to make corrections. Seeing Chang Zibi's expression, Wei Lue suddenly felt sad, and suddenly took Chang Zibi's hand holding the pen.Chang Zibi was also a little dazed, staring blankly at Wei Lue, this expression made Chang Zibi look innocent and stupid.Wei Lue clearly knew that Chang Zibi was neither naive nor stupid, but he was also fascinated by his stupid appearance for a while, and leaned forward a little more, their faces were almost touching, but they didn't.Chang Zibi felt embarrassed and tried to break away from Wei Lue's hand, but he didn't.Feeling Chang Zibi's struggle, Wei Lue said in a daze, "Your strength is really weak."

A look of resentment flashed across Chang Zibi's face unconsciously.

After Liu Qi was a military general, he had already made military achievements and made him a marquis, but now he is said to be weak by his former male favorite, Chang Zibi really couldn't hold back for a long time.

But it was the look of resentment that made Liu Qi's temperament come out from Chang Zibi's face, Wei Lue's heart trembled almost, his neck leaned forward an inch, and his lips finally stuck to the angry man. And some trembling lips.
