Said, "It's so good, it's so good."

Bai Shangshu bowed and returned to the row, and the officials prayed for Bai Shangshu secretly in their hearts. They only hoped that there would be no troubles this year. There was a war outside, and His Majesty would not be happy at all. There is a high chance of heavy fines.

Let's talk about what Bai Shangshu was thinking in his heart, it was expected.

The imperial concubine sent someone to communicate with him early in the morning, so that he could prepare himself.

The court will disperse, and all the ministers will leave.

Bai Shangshu also left with the crowd, but after Bai Shangshu left the government affairs hall, a court lady greeted him, walked to Bai Shangshu's side and said, "Master Shangshu, my lady invites you to Jingyi Palace for tea."

Jingyi Palace is the residence of Concubine Li Gui, and Bai Shangshu understood it, so he went with the maid.Originally, concubines were not allowed to summon their relatives who were officials in the court at will, but since they dared to have a court lady come to call, it must be Emperor Kui's acquiescence.

Bai Shangshu followed the maid to Jingyi Palace, and saw a phoenix kite from a distance, Bai Shangshu slightly pursed his lips, and asked, "Is it Princess Xudu who is releasing the kite?"

The maid replied with a smile, "Yes, when the servant came out, the empress and the princess were choosing which paper kite to put."

Bai Shangshu nodded with a smile, didn't ask any more questions, followed the maids into the Jingyi Palace, and saw the noble concubine pulling the paper kite string and Princess Xudu who was looking up at the paper kite beside the noble concubine.

72 no return

"I have seen the imperial concubine, Your Royal Highness," Bai Shangshu bowed down and kowtowed.

Concubine Li Gui laughed, "Brother-in-law, please."

Bai Shangshu stood up, his eyes fell on Princess Xudu, and he smiled, "I won't see you someday, the princess has grown taller again."

Princess Xudu smiled, greeted Bai Shangshu, and said, "I have seen uncle."

Hearing that Bai Shangshu was a little flattered, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Princess Xudu, and said, "Why are you still meeting with me for a ceremony, it really frustrates my humble minister."

Princess Xudu smiled when she heard this, but did not speak. The imperial concubine handed the long string of paper kite to Princess Xudu, patted Princess Xudu on the back affectionately, and said with a smile, "Go, go and play."

Princess Xudu grabbed the paper kite and ran to the grass beside her.

Concubine Li Gui followed Princess Xudu with her eyes and ran away before she turned her head to pour tea for Bai Shangshu and said, "Brother-in-law, please have some tea."

Bai Shangshu took the teacup and said with a smile, "Your Majesty and the Princess get along quite well."

"I have always had a good relationship with her," Concubine Li said with a smile, "Although her mother and concubine tripped over me from time to time, it will not affect Xudu."

"In this way, the family can rest assured," Bai Shangshu said, "I haven't asked yet, but my mother invited me to drink tea, why?"

Li Guifei heard the words and said, "What else can I do, it's just for the gathering of talents," she said, looking up at Bai Shangshu, and said, "Well, Your Majesty told me, if brother-in-law has something, where can I get it?" If you are not sure, then go and ask Lord Tai Tu, His Majesty will issue an order to Lord Tai Tu in a few days, asking him to assist you."

Bai Shangshu's heart trembled when he heard this, "What did your majesty and empress say?"

"Of course," Concubine Li Gui nodded, "It is inconvenient for Your Majesty to speak in public, so let me convey it to you."

After hearing this, Bai Shangshu got up quickly and bowed down, "May I ask your majesty to thank Your Majesty on behalf of my minister. I can't repay you, so I should arrange the gathering of talents."

Concubine Li Gui nodded, "Brother-in-law, please get up, and we'll be done with the gathering of talents."

Bai Shangshu stood up, and made a strong promise, "I will definitely organize the recruitment of talents well, and I will live up to the holy will."

Concubine Li Gui nodded and replied, "Yes," she paused slightly, and said, "But I heard from Zhang Neishi that His Royal Highness Ji Wang mentioned it in front of His Majesty."

Bai Shangshu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, "His Royal Highness Prince Ji?"

Concubine Li Gui looked at Bai Shangshu stunned, then smiled lightly, "What? Surprised?"

"It's a surprise," Bai Shangshu said bluntly, "I thought that King Ji would not participate in these matters above the court."

"Why don't you participate? King Ji has acted on his behalf several times, and His Majesty trusts King Ji very much," Concubine Li said with a smile, "After all, he is a real brother. Sometimes King Ji's words are more effective than what I say for a long time."

"It turned out to be so," Bai Shangshu only felt unbelievable. Before Ji Wang was suddenly called into the palace, it was rumored that Ji Wang had done something wrong in Fengtou Mountain. The previous few times when Ji Wang took over the government and announced some decisions, it was obviously Emperor Kui made a decision, and King Ji would just follow the scriptures, and he even had some guesses that Emperor Kui was using some sophisticated tricks to make King Ji uneasy.

He never thought that King Ji's words could be so important in front of Emperor Kui, and now he heard what the imperial concubine said, that Emperor Kui and King Ji are brothers and sisters, could it be that the previous rumors were wrong?

"Brother-in-law?" Seeing that Bai Shangshu was silent, Li Guifei called out.

Bai Shangshu came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "I'm being rude," and said again, "If your lady has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Concubine Li Gui didn't understand, how did Bai Shangshu respond to King Ji, and said, "Brother-in-law, go back."

Bai Shangshu clasped his hands together, took two steps but stopped, turned back and asked the imperial concubine, "Oh, by the way, Madam, the small fish that Shu Niang pickled last year has been opened, Shu Niang asked me to meet with Empress when I have time, and asked Madam what would you like?" Don't you want to eat?" Shu Niang is the elder sister of the imperial concubine and the wife of Bai Shangshu.

Concubine Li Gui laughed and nodded, "Yes, thank you sister for remembering."

When Bai Shangshu heard the words, he said, "Then I will be delivered in the afternoon, and I will take my leave first."

Seeing Bai Shangshu leave, Princess Xudu took the paper kite and rushed over, nestling in Concubine Li Gui's arms.

Concubine Li touched the top of Princess Xudu's head lovingly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Princess Xudu was in Concubine Li's arms, looked up at Concubine Li, and said with a little uneasiness in her eyes, "Concubine Li, Uncle Ji Wang will treat us and mother well."

One question hit Concubine Li Gui's anxiety, but she couldn't show it in front of Xudu, so she only responded with a smile, "Yes..."

At noon, under the scorching sun, Jiang Chunye sat on the boat, with his wrists resting on the edge of the boat, and half of his hand stretched out in the water, drawing a water pattern on the water as the boat moved.

The weather was already hot, not to mention he was dressed in military armor. Fortunately, Jiang Chunye was sitting on the edge of the boat, so he could soak in some cold water to relieve the scorching heat.

Jiang Chunye raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was a little unlucky, why he was also protecting Yu Fengting, Xie Jinzhao and Lu Jianyin could spend so many days in the kitchen, but he was basking in the sun and practicing archery on the school grounds, and didn't get a day's sleep All dozed off.

That's all. Right now, wearing armor and riding a boat among the reeds in the pond, it's really terrible. He thought it would be cool and cool under the deep reeds, but he didn't know that the sun had sunburned through the reeds, and the reeds were extremely hot.

Before leaving, General Shao also issued an order to forbid talking and talking among the reeds in the pond here, so as not to bump into someone and be noticed.The soldiers understood the pros and cons of it, so of course they didn't say a word, sitting there like wood carvings, coupled with the fact that it was already hot, it made people feel even more oppressed.

Jiang Chunye sighed silently, comforting himself in his heart. Fortunately, they have a small boat, and they should pass here soon. I heard that it is not so hot ahead, and it is flat land, so there is no need to be imprisoned in a small boat. above.

So let’s talk about what’s going on in the deep valley, some of them are already awake, and those who are proficient in medical skills thought of a way to wet a handkerchief with wine and cover their mouth and nose to resist the poisonous mist.

It really works, although it can't resist all of it, but it still has an effect after all, it only makes people feel a little dizzy, so that they won't fall into the illusion again.

He also said that although the valley is deep and has poisonous fog, it is fortunately not wide. The place where everyone fainted is not far from the opposite valley cliff. In this way, some unconscious people were tied to those who woke up. The sober person dragged the rope all the way to carry him up the valley.

Xie Jinzhao helped the person behind him, looked up and saw green leaves as far as his eyes could see, he raised his breath and flew away, using lightness kung fu a bit, landed on a raised rock, and rested for a while moment.

Unexpectedly, Fu Liuyue was also panting here, holding the stone wall to wipe his sweat.The fog here was already much thinner than below, and both of them took off the handkerchiefs on their faces.

Fu Liuyue saw Xie Jinzhao, showed a tired smile, and asked feebly, "How, can I still be suave?"

Xie Jinzhao was tired and funny when he heard it, so he shook his head, "I've lost my demeanor."

Fu Liuyue sighed, and pointed to the woman on her back, "It's all because Miss Shao is too heavy. I think she is the thinnest. Who knew that when I put it on my back, it broke my waist." .”

"It just so happens that you owe her money, so the favor she owes you should be evened out," Xie Jinzhao said with a smile.

"Hey, that's right," Fu Liuyue said in a daze, "I'll look for my creditors in a while and bring them back, and I'll see who has the nerve to ask me for money again."

Fu Liuyue spoke extremely loudly, her spirits were full of vigor, and the fatigue just now was swept away.

Xie Jinzhao couldn't help but interrupt him, "Don't forget, you still owe me 300 taels."

Fu Liuyue's face froze when she heard the words, she put the handkerchief into her sleeve, shrugged Miss Shao behind her, and said, "Brother Xie, you rest here, I'll go up first," she said He pulled the rope on the side, ready to leave.

Xie Jinzhao smiled, pulled the rope and set off, and said with a smile, "Brother Fu, let's go together, the journey is long, and if you and I talk, it will be easier."

Hearing this, Fu Liuyue took a look at Xie Jinzhao and said, "Okay, just don't bring up the matter of repaying the money. I'm afraid that as soon as you say repaying the money, I will lose my strength. I'm fine if I fall to death. I'm afraid the Shao family will No
