In charge

Facing the concern of Her Majesty the Empress, Sheng Ci did not appreciate it, "Your Majesty still wants to let the humble minister to try the case."

"Could it be that you just want to live a life with the blood silkworm without being disturbed?"

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other with sly smiles like foxes.

Sheng Ci and Xue Cang went to Qinyang with a shiny Yue Yingxi.Yue Yingxi had a bitter face when she was about to leave.Complained to Jiang Fengmin in private that the palace couldn't stay any longer, he always had to do errands, and he always followed the couples to watch them show their affection, and he was fed a mouthful of dog food.It is said that His Majesty has the evil taste of bullying himself, otherwise why would he let her go every time this kind of thing happens.

Jiang Fengmin also felt that Yue Yingxi was a bit pitiful, but Shu Yunci's orders were always the same, so she came up with a bad idea, "Why don't you find a companion too. This way you don't have to watch others show affection."

Yue Yingxi widened her eyes, pointed to her nose and asked, "Me? Looking for a partner? Looking for a boy or a girl?"

Jiang Fengmin raised his eyebrows, "Why do you want to find a man?" There was no such option in her mind.

Yue Yingxi's face fell down, "I don't want to be like you, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't want to be so shocking. I want to live like a normal person, and in the future I will marry my husband and teach my children." Then her words just happened to come over The old Shu Yunci heard it, and it was pitiful that she was kicked out of the palace by Shu Yunci before she could even say a word.

"Dare to say that I am not a normal person!" Shu Yunci was furious, "I must find a woman to give her a marriage!"

"Oh! Yun Ci, it's not good for you to force others into difficulties like this." Jiang Fengmin was quite considerate of Yue Yingxi, after all, the crimes of these two people were about the same level.

Shu Yunci narrowed his eyes, "You think it's an interesting picture that there is one more man among us women, doesn't it?"

Jiang Fengmin immediately fell silent.Thinking about that picture makes me feel awkward. "Well... let's find a woman."

Later facts proved that Shu Yunci used this theory to expand the circle of love between women and girls, because there are so many women who don't want to see a man join them.

Sheng Ci and his party arrived at the boundary of Qinyang. Although it was October weather, it was bitterly cold in the northwest and frost had already fallen.Sheng Ci was wrapped up warmly, and lived in a house rented by servants of Sheng's mansion in advance.

Yue Yingxi, who tried her best to be invisible along the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief.This house is not big, it is a courtyard with three entrances.Sheng Ci and Xuecan were hospitalized, and Yue Yingxi was given to live in Dongkua Hospital. She finally felt a little free.

Sheng Ci was always gentle, and arranged for the servants of the Sheng Mansion to help her organize everything, and then came over in person to let her have a good rest.Yue Yingxi was quite embarrassed.The person in front of him looks weak, but he is the prime minister of a country, and he is much higher than himself in terms of official position.

"Miss Si, I can adapt anywhere, so you don't have to miss me." It's not easy to be an official when she is outside, so Yue Yingxi followed her servants and called Sheng Ci "Miss Four".

Sheng Ci nodded, explaining that the people serving here are loyal servants of the Sheng family for many years, so Yue Yingxi needn't worry.

After she said a few words, the blood silkworm came to look for someone. "You should take your medicine."

Sheng Ci nodded towards Yue Yingxi, and followed the blood silkworm back to the main courtyard.

"The climate in the northwest is no better than that in the capital city, so you should pay more attention." Blood Silkworm poured out a pill from a small porcelain bottle, and asked Sheng Ci to drink it with the freshly brewed concoction.

"Of course I will take good care of my body, but you don't want to be like a soldier. Also, when the news from Qin Yang comes up, I still have to work, and then you are not allowed to kill me." Sheng Ci thought this It's better to explain it earlier, otherwise the blood silkworm will come up and twist his strength, and he really can't do anything about her.I can't beat it, and I don't listen to it.

Xue Cang thought for a while, "You are not allowed to work for more than one hour a day." She raised an index finger.

"No!" Sheng Ci grabbed her hand and broke out another middle finger, "Two hours."

Blood Silkworm frowned, "A Ci!"

Sheng Ci smiled and kissed her on the lips, "Do you agree?"

"Okay... okay." The blood silkworm blushed

, reluctantly agreed.She didn't understand, she was the one who confessed on her own initiative, why did she seem to be the one being molested after getting along with her?

Such pure rhetoric should not be too handy to tease her.Could these old men of the Sheng family also teach?How can it be?Where did that rhetoric come from?

The news didn't come out that quickly, so the few days when he first arrived in Qinyang, Sheng Ci was relatively idle.Blood Silkworm was not in a hurry to look for Gu worms either, taking advantage of Sheng Ci's free time, the two often went for a walk on the street together.Just like two little girls who are not deeply involved in the world, they often go shopping for a long time and buy a bunch of good-looking but useless gadgets, but who cares?Just be happy.

The two rightful masters are so free, Yue Yingxi is even more free.Although she was ordered to protect and assist Sheng Ci, she couldn't just stay by their side because she was not a bodyguard after all.So she wandered around the city alone.

In Qinyang City, there is a music workshop with a very good business called Fengyilou.Yue Yingxi just spends time here when she has nothing to do. There is a girl named Shu Rui in Fengyi Tower who plays the pipa very well, and Yue Yingxi likes to listen to it very much.

Shu Rui is seventeen or eighteen years old. She is not only beautiful, but also plays the pipa well and has a sweet mouth.After Yue Yingxi tipped her a few times, before she went on stage, as long as Yue Yingxi was around, she would come over to say hello and have a chat.

After going back and forth, the two became acquainted.Yue Yingxi could also go to Shu Rui's room to play when Shu Rui was not on stage, which made her, who had been fed dog food all the time, feel a lot of face.

This day Yue Yingxi came to listen to the music again, Shu Rui took the stage and played "House of Flying Daggers", Yue Yingxi's heart beat faster when she heard it.At the end of the song, Shu Rui got up to salute, and after that, it was the song ordered by the guest.It is usually the song ordered by the guest with the highest price.Yue Yingxi never spends money on it, the reason is very simple, she likes to listen to whatever Shu Rui plays.

Tonight's guest ordered "Si Qing Lang".This is a ditty that is circulated in brothels in the Qinyang area, and it is usually used by brothels to flirt with guests.When Shu Rui saw the name, her face turned cold, and she looked very embarrassed at the nurse in charge who handed over the list.The nurse in charge, surnamed Zhou, came over and whispered: "The person who ordered the music is taught by Cheng Ye, we can't afford to offend you. Good girl, just play it once, and we'll leave after playing."

Shu Rui also knew that Nanny Zhou was in a dilemma, but if she played this kind of tune, how would it be any different from the prostitutes in the brothel?

"Mother, I'm really sorry, I can't play." Shu Rui got up holding the pipa, walked to the side of the stage and said: "I don't know which distinguished guest ordered "Thinking Lover", please forgive the little girl for being unreasonable, she doesn't know how to play this Plant a tune." After she finished speaking, she gave a salute, turned around and was about to step off the stage.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Shu Rui turned her head, and everyone followed suit, and a big man with a dark face walked quickly onto the stage.This person is wearing a blue silk shirt, but unfortunately he is too big and tall, the silk shirt looks a bit nondescript on him.

"I ordered the tune. I've already spent the money. You can finish it if you don't know how to play it?" The big man came over and wanted to grab Shu Rui's wrist.

Shu Rui dodged back, avoiding the big man's hand.Nanny Zhou hurriedly came up to smooth things over, "My dear guest, what you said is that if this is the case, we will return the money to you immediately. Shu Rui is not sensible, you are a master, let her go this time. Or, let her say goodbye the song for you?"

The music workshop is different from the brothel. People who come here are self-proclaimed literati, and usually only listen to music.Of course, there are also some people who fall in love with the women who perform, and that is up to you, and there is absolutely nothing that can be done by force.In the eyes of literati and scholars, this kind of thing is the word "elegance" the most important.

"Bullshit! I just want to hear her play "Si Qing Lang"!" The big man pushed Aunt Zhou away and went forward to grab Shu Rui.

The guests from the other side spoke out to criticize.But these are all scholars, and they can't do anything else except talk.

Of course Yue Yingxi couldn't just sit idly by, she stood up, and just as she was about to fly over, she saw a red gauze wrapping around Shurui's waist, throwing her to Yue Yingxi's side.

Yue Yingxi quickly reached out to catch Shu Rui, but her eyes fell on the red veil around Shu Rui's waist, why did she look so familiar?Before she could take a closer look, the red gauze twitched and was pulled back.

When the big man saw Shu Rui approaching Yue Yingxi, he chased after her all the way. "Want to run? Let me tell you, the uncle spent money. You can do it today if you don't play the music. Go back to stay with the uncle for the night, and send him back tomorrow." This is the rhythm of robbing people.

After all, Shu Rui was just a little girl, seeing this posture, she was so frightened that she hid behind Yue Yingxi. "Sister Yue, I'm afraid!"

Yue Yingxi blocked the person behind her, and turned around to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The big man came up and looked Yue Yingxi up and down, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are also very beautiful, what's the matter? One is not enough, do you want two people to come together? It's okay, I don't mind if you sisters come together." He stretched out his hand and came over Pull Yue Yingxi's arm.

It's true that Yue Yingxi often makes mistakes, but she is not stupid.Having been by Shu Yunci's side for so long, the first thing I learned is that I have a bad temper.Seeing how rude the big man was, she raised her hand and punched the big man with black eyes.

The big man turned around in a circle after being beaten, and became angry from embarrassment, and directly fought with Yue Yingxi.The big man was tall and fit, while Yue Yingxi was small and nimble.After the two fought for a few rounds, the big man began to dance alone.The dance with a strong figure is particularly funny, and the atmosphere that was originally tense turned into a funny one in an instant.

Shu Rui couldn't help laughing. "Sister Yue, what is he doing?"

"Apologize." Yue Yingxi said indifferently.She handed Shurui to the people of Fengyi Tower, comforted her a few words, and then followed the direction of Hongsha just now to find the owner of Hongsha.

On the top of Fengyi Tower, Yue Yingxi saw the familiar red figure as soon as she came up, "Why are you here?"

"I've traveled all over the world, and it's not surprising that I appear anywhere. But you, instead of staying in the capital, came to meet the little girl in Qinyang?" Naturally, it was the red-clothed red shadow Hua Yihong who spoke.Her red dress is so bright and warm, it looks like a ball of fire.

"Why do I always meet you wherever I appear?" I was in Yan State before, but now I am in Qin Yang. If you want to say it is a coincidence, isn't this too coincidental?

Hua Yihong narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm following you? Show some face, please? Why don't you tell me why you are always there wherever I appear?"

Yue Yingxi flattened her mouth, this woman's mouth is so powerful, she probably couldn't explain it.

"Hey! Why don't you talk?" Hua Yihong was dissatisfied.He dared to use silence to deal with himself.

"I can't talk to you, so I'll just shut up." Yue Yingxi was angry.

As soon as the red yarn fluttered, it brought a gust of fragrant wind. "Are you so ignorant? Okay, okay, I won't say you are the head office. Hey, what did your majesty send you out this time?"

The hairs all over Yue Yingxi's body stood up, "How do you know?"

Hua Yihong rested her chin on her hand, "Otherwise, why would you, a court lady, come here at random? You must have come here on orders. Is it hard to guess?"

Yue Yingxi turned around and left, Hua Yihong grabbed her arm with a red gauze. "Hey, we have been through trouble together anyway, can you not be so heartless? Tell me, maybe I can help."

Yue Yingxi looked at the red gauze on her arm, and sighed, "Why do you always get involved? It was so dangerous last time, and you haven't learned your lesson yet?"

Hua Yihong took the red yarn away, and said seriously: "It's really dangerous, so I have to get involved. You don't even know how boring I am usually, how can your business be interesting?"

Yue Yingxi saw that she couldn't even speak, and asked for a long time: "Do you really like to die?"

For such an obvious ridicule, other people would probably blow their hair.Unexpectedly, Hua Yihong nodded seriously. "Yeah, you saw it."

After hearing this, Yue Yingxi just wanted to scratch the wall.It's not enough for me to have a majesty who loves to die, and I met such a majesty again.The key is that His Majesty loves to die and Jiang Fengmin is with him. Why does this love to die always meet him?

Yue Yingxi clasped her fists and smiled, "I'm sorry to bother you." She was about to leave.

Hua Yihong continued to hold her back, "What on earth are you here for? Take me with you. I saved you anyway, so we are considered friends, right?"

"It's a secret, you can't tell it." Yue Yingxi saw

Hua Yihong just tugged on her sleeves, without using the soul yarn, she quickly flicked her sleeves and jumped directly from Fengyi Tower.

Hua Yihong looked down at her empty hands, curled her lips and said, "Cut, stingy!"

Sheng Ci was pruning the flowers and plants in the yard.The weather is cold and these flowers and plants have to be moved indoors for planting.She saw Yue Yingxi flashing past the courtyard door like a rabbit, and entered the Dongkua courtyard.

"Miss Yue, what's wrong? It's like a ghost." She handed the small shovel in her hand to the servant girl, and got up to have a look.

Xuecan accompanied her, and when the weather was fine, Xuecan encouraged Sheng Ci to come out for activities, which was better than staying in bed all the time.

"Miss Yue is the same as General Jiang, there seems to be something missing here." Xue Cang pointed at herself

Sheng Ci pulled her hand down, "Don't talk about others like that. Everyone has different abilities, and there are always things they are good at or not good at. But Yue Gu is a bit fond of messing around, which is indeed very similar to the general."

Sheng Ci and Yue Yingxi got acquainted with each other only after they came out this time.Xue Cang is a sensible person, she doesn't need to worry about talking or doing anything, but Yue Yingxi can't.Say a word from time to time, Sheng Ci doesn't know how to continue.But after getting along, Sheng Ci knew that Yue Yingxi was a very simple girl, so he took good care of her.

Yue Yingxi jumped in fright when she heard someone knocking on the door.I thought it wouldn't be so evil, right?She ran very fast, could Hua Yihong still catch up?

"Miss Yue, are you inside?" Sheng Ci's gentle voice sounded at the door.

Yue Yingxi let out a long breath, and immediately came to open the door. "Miss Four, Miss Blood Silkworm, come in quickly, it's windy outside."

Sheng Ci and Xuecan entered the door, Xuecan looked at Yue Yingxi's face and said: "Pale and sweating, what terrible thing happened?"

Yue Yingxi touched her face, "It's quite scary, I met a difficult person."

Both Sheng Ci and Xue Cang were measured people, they didn't ask who it was, they just looked at her with big curious eyes.

Being watched by two pairs of big eyes, Yue Yingxi took a step back and scratched her head. "That... do you know Hua Yihong?"

"Red clothes, red shadows and flowers are red?" Sheng Ci asked.

"How does Fourth Miss know?" Yue Yingxi was curious, the grand speech did not involve Jianghu affairs at all.

"She is a well-known etiquette wife on the mainland. Many wealthy families, even the royal family, will hire her to teach their daughters. My eldest brother's daughter has reached the age of learning etiquette. My father also thought about asking her to come and teach her. It's a pity that she was in other countries at that time and didn't have time." Sheng Ci has always been curious about this female wife, who is so famous and doesn't seem to have any family influence, but she looks like a distinguished guest in any country, and I don't know her personality. how.

"She... is really so famous?" Yue Yingxi always doubted this point.

"Have you ever heard of a saying?" Sheng Ci sat down and said, "Peaches and plums are all over the world."

"Pfft!" Yue Yingxi almost didn't spit out her saliva, she hurriedly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, Miss Fourth, I made you laugh." She remembered that Hua Yihong had said such words to her, and she disdainful at that time Take a look, what's the matter, is it really peaches and plums all over the world?

"Miss Yue, have you met her?" Sheng Ci really wanted to get acquainted with this legendary figure.

"She should have come." Xue Cang said, who had been silent all this time.

A chuckle came from outside the window, "Hey! It's been a long time since I met someone who knows the Yuehua Jue. Little girl, what is your relationship with Yuehua Island in the West Sea?"

The door was pushed open, the red dress flashed, and Hua Yihong walked in enchantingly with her water snake waist twisted.

Sheng Ci turned to look at Yue Yingxi, the question was obvious, because it was difficult for her to associate the enchanting woman in front of her with the legendary female wife.

Yue Yingxi nodded in pain.See, she wasn't the only one who had doubts.

When Hua Yihong came in, her eyes fell on the blood silkworm.She was very sure that this woman had used the Yuehua Jue, because the Yuehua Jue was like water, leaving no gaps, so she could accurately feel her existence.But after she came in, her eyes were attracted by Sheng Ci again.

"What a delicate beauty, I really feel sorry for her." She was already charming and enchanting, but her words were changed seventeen or eight times, which made people's skin crawl.

Xue Cang didn't like someone staring at Sheng Ci like this, so he took a step forward to cover Hua Yihong's eyes from looking at Sheng Ci.

Hua Yihong raised her eyebrows, "You're so nervous about her, are you a couple?" She rubbed her chin, "You two are also interesting. It seems that women like women are very popular in your hidden country."

The three people present did not speak, but she chattered for a long time by herself, but her logic was clear, she only saw a movement of the blood silkworm, and guessed the relationship between the blood silkworm and Sheng Ci, it can be seen that under the unscrupulous appearance, there is such a keen mind insight.

Sheng Ci patted Xue Cang on the shoulder from behind, and Xue Can retreat obediently.This move made Hua Yihong's eyes widen with interest.

"Girl Hua, please sit down. I have a grand speech." Sheng Ci gave up his seat with a smile.

Hua Yihong sat down and said, "So it's the Prime Minister, I'm disrespectful." She looked at Yue Yingxi who was puffing up her cheeks, "No wonder you appear here, it seems that you are from the Emperor Ningzhen's sect." You came to protect Prime Minister Sheng."

Sheng Ci admired Hua Yihong's analytical and observation skills. "Miss Hua's guess is correct. I came to Qinyang to do something, His Majesty was worried, so he sent Miss Yue to accompany me."

"You already have a successor of Yue Huajue by your side, and Empress Ning Zhen is still worried. It seems that Prime Minister Sheng is very favored." Hua Yihong pointed at Yue Yingxi, "But she can only act as a thug. Completely mindless."

Yue Yingxi pounced on her and was about to bite her, Hua Yihong hurriedly withdrew her finger, "But it's okay, with Prime Minister Sheng, the most powerful brain in the Yin Kingdom, a thug is enough."

Yue Yingxi didn't bite, and wanted to back away bitterly, but her arms were wrapped in red yarn, and she was pulled to the chair beside her by Hua Yihong. "Yue Yingxi, don't be so stingy. I am a friend rather than an enemy, why do you keep me away from me thousands of miles away?"

"The ghost knows whether you are an enemy or a friend?" Yue Yingxi's arms were wrapped in red yarn, unable to move, she had to grind her teeth aside.

Sheng Ci and Xue Cang were watching these two people playing tricks, and they both thought... um... the relationship between these two people was very interesting.

"So, Miss Hua wants to come and help?" Sheng Ci was able to catch the point.

"That's right, I found that the affairs of your hidden country are very interesting. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently, how about it? How about letting me get involved?" Hua Yihong looked forward to it.

Yue Yingxi tried her best to wink at Sheng Ci, don't draw this guy in!

However, she and Sheng Ci did not have a tacit understanding, Sheng Ci nodded and said: "Why not?"

"Did you hear that?" Hua Yihong flaunted her might to Yue Yingxi who was beside her.

Yue Yingxi flattened her mouth, she didn't want to say anything.Why is this Hua Yihong always haunted?

That night, Hua Yihong was arranged in the Xikuan courtyard.Yue Yingxi is quite satisfied with this point, after all, there is a main courtyard away from her, so the chances of meeting her should be much less.

Back in the main courtyard, Xue Cang didn't understand why Sheng Ci took in Hua Yihong so easily.Although their mission is not so secret, it is still carried out in private.This Hua Yihong is not even from the Yin Kingdom, if she has evil intentions, they will always be in trouble.

"You don't understand why I left Hua Yihong behind?" Sheng Ci seemed to have read the blood silkworm's mind. "You didn't see her guessing so many things just by meeting her face to face. It's better to keep such a person by your side, after all, you can still make friends. If you really push them outside, it will be difficult to control."

"I heard from Your Majesty before that this Hua Yihong met in the northwest, and later I heard from General Jiang that he helped us in Yan State." Xue Can recalled that Shu Yunci had mentioned this name. "Since both of them think there is nothing wrong with this person, they should be able to believe it."

"Probably." Sheng Ci thought for a while, "Do you think she likes messing around with Miss Yue?"
