Funing Hall

Early the next morning, they set off for Luoyang.

He only went for one day, and only to see the flowers, Zhao Cong didn't bring too many entourages with him.The guards brought 20 people, including ten palace maids and eunuchs, to board the boat at the Bianhe wharf, and then headed for Henan Mansion.The Bian River is just waking up, and the morning sun shines calmly and softly on the water. Zhao Cong sits in front of the window and looks at it. This is a completely different scenery from Jiangnan.

He was watching when someone came in behind him, and his back stiffened.

The person who came was Zhao Shiqi.

Zhao Shiqi was calmer than the rosy light on the surface of the Bianhe River. As he walked, he said, "Your Majesty, it's cool by the window, and it's windy on the water in the morning."

Yesterday, Zhao Shiqi rubbed his forehead as if he was holding him, but he didn't dare to move, so he had to pretend to be asleep.Unexpectedly, after he pretended to be asleep, Zhao Shiqi picked him up again! !He didn't dare to move even more, Zhao Shiqi carried him to the bed in the inner room and let him sleep.Where can he sleep?Lying on the bed, waiting left and right, he was relieved when Rantao came in.

Fortunately, Zhao Shiqi went out to drink with Shangfeng at night, so he hurried back to Funing Hall.

It was really "slip". Although he seemed calm, he was actually extremely panicked.

Zhao Shiqi's actions became more and more exaggerated, and he didn't dare to ask.If Zhao Shiqi admits to being ambiguous when asked, how should he respond?If he denies it, he will lose face!

He panicked, but Zhao Shiqi was so calm.Zhao Cong felt dissatisfied in his heart, he let out a deep breath before he dared to turn around.

Zhao Shiqi finally stopped wearing his official uniform today, but he was wearing a sky blue gown!

The cuffs are pinched with auspicious cloud patterns, and the waist is a moon-white belt, which is also embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns.When Zhao Shiqi was young, he loved to see him dressed like this.Now when I come back, the child has grown up and doesn't want to wear it anymore.It's fine if you don't wear it, but he did it today!

Zhao Cong gritted his teeth secretly, Zhao Shiqi didn't know how dazzling he was in this outfit?Zhao Shiqi must know that he did it on purpose.

Zhao Cong was angry in his heart, but he was not willing to look away, and looked at it many times.

Zhao Shiqi smiled, walked up to him and sat down generously, and lowered his head to show him: "Your Majesty, you bought the hairpin in Hangzhou. I wear it."

"..."

Fortunately, Zhao Shiqi lowered his head, and Zhao Cong blinked hard several times before calmly saying, "It's very suitable for you."

Zhao Shiqi raised his head and said with a smile: "I also feel that what His Majesty gave me is suitable. Your Majesty likes to see me in azure clothes, right? As the weather gets warmer, I will wear more in summer."

"...Okay." Zhao Cong felt his heart beating.

The conscience of heaven and earth, although he has lived two lifetimes in a daze, this is really his first love!

Heartbeat is the first time!

Confusion is also the first time!

Faced with this situation, he really didn't know what to do.

Zhao Shiqi said again: "Your Majesty's hand is cold?" He said, and stretched out his hand again.

Zhao Cong quickly picked up the teacup, avoiding Zhao Shiqi's hand, and lowered his head to drink tea.

Zhao Shiqi lowered his eyes and smiled.

Hearing his laughter, Zhao Cong became more flustered, put down the teacup, immediately changed the subject, and asked, "Who did you go to drink with yesterday?"

"Your Majesty doesn't even know what you said. Some colleagues from the Secretary's Department, Fan Shiwu, are also here. I told him about Your Majesty's plan in advance."

Zhao Cong nodded: "Alright, someone will go to his house to inform him today."

"Your Majesty, Fan Shiwu's family has a niece."

"..." Zhao Cong immediately looked up at him.

Zhao Shiqi still lowered his eyes, slowly poured tea for Zhao Cong, and said: "He mentioned a few words to me, saying that his niece is very good, and His Majesty knows that his niece is the Liu family—"

Zhao Cong reached out and snatched the teapot in his hand, and poured it by himself with a sullen face.

"His Majesty?"

Zhao Cong got angry, flirting with him for a while, and saying these things here again, what's the point? !

"His Majesty--"

Zhao Cong put the teapot on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Your marriage is up to me, how old are you? Those people see you as my nephew, and they all want to curry favor with you! What do you know? Be honest!"

"Your Majesty, Fan Shiwu wants to tell Xiao Tang about his niece and ask for my voice."

"..." Zhao Cong's face flushed instantly.

"Your Majesty, I will not marry a wife." Zhao Shiqi reassured.

But Zhao Cong still heard the smile in his voice, Zhao Shiqi must be very proud!

Little bastard!Younger than him, how dare you tease him like this!

Zhao Cong was so angry that he drank a glass of water, and then looked up, only to see Zhao Shiqi's eyes were full of smiles, and he was looking at him carefully.He knew that Zhao Shiqi must have done it on purpose!Even if he was flirting, who wouldn't?

Zhao Cong sneered, calmed down quickly, and said, "Xiao Tang is a Taoist, others don't allow Xiao to think about it."

"Your Majesty, other people can't think of me." Zhao Shiqi hurriedly said.

Zhao Cong smiled again: "You have beautiful concubines in your family, and ordinary ladies would not dare to miss you, after all, such a beautiful person is rare, even I dare not marry you at will, I am afraid that it will not be as good as your beautiful concubines .”

"……His Majesty."

Zhao Cong waved his hand: "I want to talk to you about something serious."

Zhao Shiqi also knew that he had gone too far, so he immediately calmed down and said obediently: "Your Majesty said."

"I sent Du Yu to Taiyuan Mansion. Hedong is bordering Xixia and Liao. In fact, I have always had a suspicion."

"What doubt?"

"You were still young at the time, so you didn't know. In fact, Li Liangcheng, the prince of Xixia, had contact with me more than five years ago. He was just an unfavored prince at that time, but he was able to use envoys to deliver letters for him. He understands his temperament very well."

"Your Majesty suspects that Da Song has his secret work?"

"It's common to have secret works, and we also have secret works in other countries. But what kind of secret work can even understand your nature?"

Zhao Shiqi looked at him puzzled.

"I'm afraid you don't know that Li Liangcheng personally came to the Grand Court Meeting in January this year. He came to curry favor with me—"

"Please?" Zhao Shiqi's voice darkened unknowingly.

Zhao Cong looked at him in surprise, Zhao Shiqi hurriedly smiled again: "How can he please His Majesty?"

Zhao Cong raised the corners of his mouth, with a half-smile: "He imitated you to please me."

Zhao Shiqi frowned.

"At that time, everyone thought you were dead, but he imitated you to please me. You can guess the purpose."

"He wants to be the emperor of Xixia, but his eldest brother is now in power, and his brothers are imprisoned. He wants to please you and get your support."

"What I care about is, why does he know your temper? You were young at the time, and you were in the palace all day long, and you rarely saw outsiders, and very few people knew your temper."

Zhao Shiqi had met Li Liangcheng face to face in his previous life, and he knew that this person was not simple, but in his previous life, there was chaos early and wars broke out everywhere.Li Liangcheng was indeed dedicated to the throne at that time, and after he ascended the throne, he also sent someone to give him a big gift, counting on his support.

It's just that he never knew that Li Liangcheng still had this ability.

Obviously in his previous life, Li Liangcheng didn't know him well, and never sent anyone to touch his temper.

There is another deviation in this life, who can even notice this little detail?

He thought of Zhao Cong's words just now, and looked up at Zhao Cong: "Your Majesty is worried that the Jiang family will collude with Xixia?"

Zhao Cong was originally angry at Cai Cai's ambiguity and Zhao Shiqi's "teasing", but when he heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily.

He is destined to fall in love with Xiao Shiyi.

He only said a few words, and Xiao Shiyi immediately understood what he meant.

In this case, he can only talk to Xiao Shiyi.

His eyes immediately softened, and he stopped being annoyed and dodged just now, but looked directly at Zhao Shiqi: "The Jiang family has been stationed in Hedong for a hundred years. You also know that the Sun family and the Jiang family fought together with our Zhao family. In the end, the world fell In the hands of the Zhao family, if they are convinced, why is it not enough for the Sun family to have two queens, and they still want to covet the throne? How can the Jiang family be at ease in the past hundred years in Taiyuan Mansion? Li Liangcheng can know your temperament and my temperament like this, I can only think of it They are the Jiang family. The daughter of the Jiang family is the eldest concubine of the Duke of Wei. Moreover, the Jiang family has a very close relationship with the Sun family."

The Jiang family was indeed dissatisfied, but the Jiang family had no such ability.Zhao Shiqi knew it. After all, in his previous life, when the Jiang family was at the end of the road, they did not rely on Xixia and Liao at all.

According to Zhao Shiqi, there are others colluding with Xixia.

It's just that he didn't say it out loud. First of all, there are many differences in this life. He is not sure what the Jiang family is like.Secondly, since he has no evidence, he might as well listen to Zhao Cong.

He looked at Zhao Cong, smiled consolingly and said, "Your Majesty, even if it's really the Jiang family, it's fine. Du Yu is a smart man, and besides, you have been dividing the power of the Jiang family in the past five years."

When Zhao Cong talked to him about this, he was always very happy, and said with interest: "You said, I want to help Li Liangcheng grab the throne, or help the prince of Liao Kingdom grab the throne?"

"Your Majesty may have made a conclusion in his heart."

"Guess." Zhao Cong was happy, Xiao Shi knew everything he said.He insisted on Xiao Shiyi repeating this matter, as if to prove the tacit understanding between them.

"Xixia."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty wants to help Li Liangcheng."

Zhao Cong smiled so much that his eyes rolled up, and he said happily, "How did you know that?"

"Your Majesty doesn't like Li Liangcheng, if he doesn't want to help him, he would have refused five years ago."

"Besides that, there are other reasons. You know about Wen Rui's sending to Dengzhou, right?" Zhao Cong said with great interest.

Zhao Shiqi was dissatisfied: "Why did Your Majesty ask him to call him so close?"

"...that's what it's usually called."

Zhao Shiqi curled his lips: "Your Majesty doesn't call other officials like that."

"My name is Xiao Tang and my name is Zifan."

"Sooner or later, Xiao Tang and Rantao are a couple. They are all right, they are our own. Xie Wenrui...huh!"

Zhao Shiqi was dressed tenderly today, and acted and talked like this, Zhao Cong couldn't help but soften his voice: "I won't call him that in the future."

"Your Majesty, you have to remember what you said today, you can only call me so affectionately."

Zhao Cong's heart became softer, and he nodded: "Okay."

Zhao Shiqi laughed again: "Your Majesty, continue to talk about Dengzhou."

Seeing him laughing again so quickly, Zhao Cong followed suit, not even noticing that his mood was turning back and forth several times just because of Zhao Shiqi's words, and he continued: "I am forming a navy in Dengzhou, separated from Dengzhou. The one facing the water is the Jurchen." Zhao Cong picked up three teacups and placed them on the table, pointing, "Jurchen in the east, Song in the south, and Xixia in the west." He picked up another teacup and put it on the table. Among the three, said with a smile, "Liao Kingdom."

He smiled and looked up at Zhao Shiqi.

He was still reluctant to reveal his scheming in front of Zhao Shiqi.

But this is someone he is close to and trusts, why can't he show it generously?He can safely show the pride and joy that cannot be expressed in front of ministers.He can rest assured to tell the strategies and ideas that cannot be expressed in front of everyone.

Having said that, it was a pleasure.

Seeing his rare complacency, Zhao Shiqi's heart became softer than Zhao Cong's.

"Why don't you talk?" Seeing his silence, Zhao Cong asked curiously.

"What does Your Majesty want me to say? I'm right here, what Your Majesty wants to do, just send me to do it."

Zhao Cong was in good spirits, and joked, "No matter what?"

Zhao Shiqi affirmed: "No matter what."

Zhao Cong was very satisfied, and wanted to continue, but Zhao Shiqi reached out and took his hand.

Too caught off guard, Zhao Cong didn't have time to shake off.

Zhao Shiqi knelt down again, he took Zhao Cong's hand with both hands, placed it on Zhao Cong's knee, and looked up at Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong's interest was at its peak, and he was so stimulated by Zhao Shiqi's hand that he couldn't get down in the air.He was in a daze again, staring at Zhao Shiqi in a daze.

He waited for Zhao Shiqi's words.

Zhao Shiqi asked, "Your Majesty, did Li Liangcheng imitate me?"

Zhao Cong nodded: "Five points are similar."

Zhao Shiqi felt aggrieved: "Five points?"

"Um……"

"Since there are five points, it means they are very similar. Does Your Majesty like him or me?"

"..."

"Your Majesty." Zhao Shiqi squeezed his palm.

Zhao Cong's palms were hot, his wrists were hot, and his atrium was also hot.

Confusedly, he said: "Naturally I like you."

Zhao Shiqi raised the corner of his mouth, took Zhao Cong's hand and kissed it lightly, then raised his head, this time his smile was more lush than the summer flowers all over the branches: "Your Majesty, I knew it. You love me the most, don't you?"

Zhao Cong swallowed inexplicably, and said in a daze again: "Yes."
