humble minister

"Master Lian, congratulations."

Lian Ying, with a smiling but still pale face, dealt with all kinds of royal relatives or fellow officials who toasted to congratulate him one by one. The atmosphere of the whole palace banquet looked very lively and festive, but it was just It just looks.

In fact, the contest between the monarch and his ministers in the court a few days ago is still impressive to this day, so so many people who came to congratulate, including everyone present, still have some temptations and doubts in their hearts. Collaborating with the enemy and treason is no small matter.

"Take a break." After another person came up to congratulate and left, Yao Li pressed Lian Ying's shoulder and persuaded: "Anyway, the general process has been completed, so you can go back and rest for a while now. , stop ruining your body."

Snatching the wine glass from Lian Ying's hand, Yao Li's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "Anyway, those people didn't sincerely toast to you, leave them alone, I'll help you go back."

After such tossing and tossing one after another, even Ying couldn't hold it anymore at this moment, thinking that most of the people had dispersed, so he tacitly allowed Yao Li to help him go to the accommodation arranged in the palace.

"Master Lian." It's a pity that the two of them were stopped by a female voice just as they stood up.

"Concubine Rou?" Lian applied all his strength to open his eyes, which were about to close, and asked suspiciously when he saw Han Zhirou who was swaying into two figures in front of him, "Concubine Rou, who is this?"

"Firstly, I came here to thank you for saving my life. Although I have said this many times, I am afraid that even the adults' ears will get callused." Han Zhirou laughed at herself, "The second thing is that I want to Congratulations on the heaven-sent marriage between Lord Lian and the princess."

Lian Ying looked at the wine glass stretched out in front of him, his brain was a little dazed and he still didn't understand what the concubine Rou, who had always lived reclusively, meant at this time. Although Shi Yu told him not to have any contact with her, he refused to drink at this moment I can't justify drinking this glass of wine.

"Ah Ying is not feeling well, so I drank it for him." Yao Li directly took the wine glass in front of Lian Ying and drank it down, looking at Han Zhirou impatiently, "Is there anything else you can do, Concubine Rou?"

"No, no more." Han Zhirou was a little surprised that this young man by Lian Ying's side would do such a thing, but it was just a surprise, and soon her attention fell on Lian Ying again: "Recently There are many unfavorable rumors outside the palace, adults should be more careful."

"Thank you, Concubine Rou, for your concern." Lian Ying replied confusedly, not understanding why Han Zhirou would say such things to him, if it was for the sake of kindness, it would be unnecessary, after all, she had visited him many times in the name of repaying kindness. It is too much.

"Since Concubine Rou has nothing to say, then I will help Ah Ying go back to rest, and you won't have any objections?" Yao Li asked in a cold voice, and without waiting for Han Zhirou's answer, she directly half-supported and half-dragged Lian Ying. pulled away.

Han Zhirou looked at the backs of the two walking away, with complicated expressions in her eyes.

The reason why Lian Ying was kept in the palace for a long time was to let the prince-in-law and the princess have more time to get along slowly. From the perspective of the internal civil and military officials, it was to better monitor Lianxiang , it can be seen that the emperor is suspicious, but in the eyes of Emperor Xuanwu of the current dynasty, he did this entirely to keep Lian Ying in his sight and under his protection.

But despite this, Emperor Xuanwu was still very upset, because he couldn't go to see Ah Ying in person, either publicly or secretly, but his sister had a very upright reason to visit her future husband blatantly .

At this time, in Jingyang Palace.

"Brother Lian Ying, the story you told last time is very interesting, can you tell Min Rong some more stories?" Like a little girl who has met an idol, Shi Minrong sat beside Lian Ying and supported her. Gills, begged with starry eyes.

Lian Ying took a sip of tea, Shi Minrong ran towards him very diligently in the past few days, but because of the nominal relationship between the two, the palace did not dare to say anything, and he naturally couldn't drive away the little girl. Let the girl go, besides, he doesn't hate this lively and cheerful little girl, at least it's quite refreshing for him, isn't it?Especially not long ago, Yao Li was recruited back by someone from the master's sect.

Thinking about how stinky Yaoli would be at that time and the reluctance and reluctance on his face, even Ying still finds it quite interesting.But this time the one who recruited Yao Li back was neither a senior sister nor a senior brother, but his master, so Yao Li said that he would not go back if he was killed, but he still had to go back. After all, his master Gui Guzi had a bad temper. It's very weird. Since he was a child, he has been frightened when he saw the master, let alone contradict the master's order.

Lian Ying still remembered that when Yao Li was about to leave, he was urged to take care of his body, and he said that he would come back when he saw the master, no matter what the master would ask him to do, he would run away.

Even when Ying sent Yao Li to leave, this man dragged him for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was coquettish for a long time, but to be honest, he was quite reluctant to part with Yao Li. Complaining about his master's many things, but in fact he missed the old man, so Lian Ying told Yao Li after a few words to let him spend more time with the old man, and he would take care of himself.Like this, like this, the time for Yao Li to leave was delayed a lot.

"Brother Lian Ying, what are you thinking, why are you smiling so happily? Can you talk to Min Rong?"

Lian Ying, who was pushed by Shi Minrong's arm a few times, came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, he saw the little girl looking at him curiously, with a naive face, and he couldn't help but want to ask the other party a question.

"Min Rong, I won't tell you a story today, how about we chat?"

"Okay, okay, what are we talking about?" In fact, as long as he can talk to brother Lian Ying, or even just sit together, Shi Minrong will be very happy.She could see that even brother Ying didn't like her very much, and she had nothing to say with herself, so she kept pestering him to listen to the story, and now the proposal of being able to sit down and chat like this, and have a heart-to-heart talk, really won her heart Heart.

"Min Rong, do you really want to marry me?" After thinking about it, Lian Ying asked bluntly.He didn't use any modest titles such as "minister". Firstly, Min Rong didn't like it, but now he was talking heart-to-heart, so saying that would only alienate each other, and the gain outweighed the loss.

"Brother Lian Ying, why would you ask such a question? If Min Rong didn't want to marry you, she wouldn't agree to this marriage." When it comes to her daughter's family's marriage leave, even a cheeky girl like Shi Minrong would blush. She frowned, "Besides, besides, I liked brother Lian Ying a long time ago, when brother Lian Ying was the handsome and handsome Mr. Tingyun."

When he was still Mr. Tingyun?

Lian Ying glanced at Shi Minrong, who was bowing her head and twisting a corner of her fingers, and felt that the little girl must have made a mistake.

"Min Rong, tell me, is your feeling for me the affection and love between a man and a woman, or is it just admiration and admiration for a famous and powerful person?" Lian Ying forced Shi Minrong to look up at him , looked directly at him, and told him the answer.

"Brother Lian Ying, what are you talking about? Aren't these similar?" Shi Minrong was puzzled. From her point of view, she liked Lian Ying. She liked to be with him, listen to him talk, and like him to look at her. And just thinking that they will always be together makes her feel very happy and proud, because her husband is one of the best men in the world.

Thinking about it, Shi Minrong's face turned even redder, but at the same time she couldn't figure out why brother Lian Ying would ask her such a question, she felt that this question was so complicated and tasteless.

"Min Rong, your liking for me is not between a man and a woman, but just admiration for a person whom you have longed for." Lian Ying touched the top of Shi Minrong's head, and said earnestly, but the other party still remained silent. A look of bewilderment.

"Forget it, you will understand what I mean when you meet the right person in the future." Lian Ying gave up explaining, this silly girl is obviously not enlightened, he will not understand no matter what.

"Brother Lian Ying, will you still marry me?" Even though she didn't understand what the other party meant, as a woman, Shi Minrong's intuition told her what the other party's words implied.

"I don't know." Lian Ying was a little confused, this was the protection imposed on him by Shi Yu, he didn't know what to do, he should accept it, but he didn't want to accept it.

"Maybe I won't marry you, Min Rong." After a pause, Lian Ying said it anyway, seeing that the other party's puffy little face instantly turned pale.

"Why?" Shi Minrong bit her lip, a little sad, "Is it because I didn't do well enough? Is there something about Minrong that made you unhappy?"

"No, you're fine, it's just..." Lian Ying frowned, comforting a crying little girl was not something he was good at.

"Is it because of Brother Huang?" For some reason, Shi Minrong suddenly said such a sentence.After finishing speaking, not only Lian Ying was surprised, even she herself was so surprised that she didn't know why she said such a sentence.

"Min Rong, what do you mean?" This time it was Lian Ying's turn to turn pale.

Originally, Shi Minrong was quite sorry for suddenly mentioning Brother Huang, but when she saw her favorite object being talked about, she felt even more sad and a little bit angry , especially when the other party questioned himself like this.

"I don't mean anything. It's just that I always feel that Brother Huang is very kind to Brother Lianying, and you are also very kind to Brother Huang. There is always a strange atmosphere between you that makes people feel unable to get in. It is a very, very A beautiful atmosphere. But Min Rong can't get in at all, it feels like she was abandoned by you."

As Shi Minrong was talking, tears the size of beans rolled down uncontrollably. She stretched out her hand and wiped away the tears on her face indiscriminately, and continued sadly in the increasingly blurred vision: " Brother Lian Ying, you will never know how much I like you, you will never know, because you only have Brother Huang in your eyes, and you have never taken a good look at me!"

"You don't know that a long time ago, a little girl who sneaked out of the palace met a gentle, handsome, talented young man at the poetry competition that year, and defeated a whole circle of literati alone. You wouldn't know Notice her admiring and admiring eyes, whether it was before or now.

You wouldn't know that this silly little girl later imitated that young man reciting poems against others, but was ridiculed severely after being exposed. When she was most helpless and embarrassing, it was the one she imitated. The object of her hand broke the siege, so that she will never forget it in this life, no matter it was in the past or now.

You don't even know how happy the little girl is since the grown-up boy reappeared in the little girl's world. She felt like she had got the whole world, bubbling with happiness every day, and inquiring every day. His news, as long as he appears, her eyes will keep turning around him, no matter in the past, now, or even in the future!

Finally, the little girl was able to marry the person she had liked for a long time, but that person didn't like him at all, and that person even doubted the nature of the little girl's liking for him. Brother Lian Ying, tell me, that little girl Isn't it very pitiful? "

Shi Minrong stared at Lian Ying with red eyes, and stubbornly begged for an answer, which made people feel distressed.

"Min Rong, I'm sorry, I..." At this moment, Lian Ying, who has always been eloquent and eloquent, can only say sorry, because at this moment he understands that Min Rong really likes him, not because of his self-righteousness. Worship, it's him... who failed the other party.

"What I want is not sorry, Brother Lian Ying, you know what I want!" Shi Minrong tugged on Lian Ying's sleeve, questioning and hoping.

"I'm sorry, what you want...I can't give it."

"Brother Lian Ying, you like Brother Huang, right?" For some reason, a bold idea formed in Shi Minrong's mind. It's not that she has never heard of those rumors in the palace, and it is precisely because she has heard that that she will take the risk at this time. come up with such an idea.

"Who did you listen to?" Lian Ying's first reaction was that someone was spreading rumors, and he didn't believe that Shi Minrong himself would say such a thing.

"I guessed it, right?" Shi Minrong smiled, but it was uglier than crying, "Why... why do you and Brother Huang clearly like each other, but you still let me get involved? It's interesting to see me being stupid like this, isn't it fun?"

"No, Min Rong, you misunderstood..." Lian Ying wanted to explain, but Min Rong shook his hand away.

"Whether I misunderstood or not is unimportant. What matters is the truth and the result. Isn't this the truth and the result? Brother Lian Ying, I've never been smart, but this time I think I'm right. You lied to me. Me, lied to me! You won't marry me at all, will you?"

Lian Ying wanted Shi Minrong to calm down, but she couldn't say no, the simple word "yes" felt like it was stuck in her throat.

"Okay, I got it, I got it all..." Shi Minrong smiled miserably, her red eyes seemed to cry blood, "Brother Lian Ying, I hate you, I hate you all!"
