I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Yuanwen Shou wanted Gu Yuanbai to marry Yuanwen.

While being helpless and funny, Gu Yuanbai sighed in his heart.

Marriage, unless the Xue family took the initiative to ask, otherwise he would not take the initiative to bestow it.

A paper marriage is difficult for two people.Gu Yuanbai couldn't bear to do this kind of behavior of randomly messing up the mandarin ducks.

As soon as I finished talking about Xue Yuan in the morning, in the afternoon, Xue Du Yuhou sent Gu Yuanbai a letter and a palm-sized wooden carving.

The wood carving is a machete, the surface of the machete is smooth and flat, and there are not fine patterns engraved on it.Because of its small size, the blade is very thick and cannot hurt people, just like a toy for children.

Gu Yuanbai took the wooden knife in his hand and looked at it. He didn't see anything strange, so he threw the wooden knife aside, and picked up the envelope that was put aside.

The letter paper was white, and there was a faint smell of wine.Gu Yuanbai's nose is very sensitive, and as soon as he smelled the aroma of wine, the image of Xue Yuan throwing the bottle from the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building with a half smile appeared in his mind.

He snorted, opened the letter paper, and there was only one sentence on it: The minister's chess skills are better than Chang Yu's, and there are many words, the game is ready, the tea soup is waiting for the saint to come.

The handwriting was flying like a phoenix, and the entire sheet of paper could hardly hold Xue Yuan's short line.

I can do this even when I'm sick.

Gu Yuanbai showed the letter to the people on both sides, and Tian Fusheng chuckled after reading it, amused, "Master Xue is so confident, he must be one of the best in chess."

Gu Yuanbai didn't notice it at first, but now he thought about it, didn't he?Xue Yuan praised himself, and most of the ancient gentlemen were reserved. Looking at it this way, they are not extremely thick-skinned.

Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but curled up his lips.

The chief guard said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xue is not feeling well, he must be unable to move around, that's why he invited His Majesty to come to Xue's residence."

"I know." Gu Yuanbai said.

His fingers couldn't help turning to the jade finger, and the jade finger was changed, but the tentacles were still warm.Gu Yuanbai lowered his head and glanced at the translucent jade, remembering how Xue Yuan fell into the water, his eyelids twitched, and said, "Then go and have a look."

In the afternoon, the breeze is gentle, the clouds are thick, and the sky is faintly yellow.

The summer palace is extremely large, with overlapping springs and mountains inside and outside, and the greenery brings coolness.The mansions of princes, ministers and officials were built not far from the palace, where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, birds were singing and insects were singing.

Chu Wei followed the Holy Majesty silently. He seemed to be preoccupied, and the way he occasionally raised his eyes to look at the Holy Majesty's back was like a frustrated person.

Although handsome, such a look is also doubly pampered.But if the person who made him "frustrated" was the Holy One, this beauty would be hard to appreciate.

The chief guard suddenly said to Chu Wei: "Master Chu, there is something wrong, you'd better correct it if you know it."

Chu Wei came back to his senses, "Master Zhang, what does this mean?"

The chief guard said bluntly: "Master Chu and I are both subjects of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty is the king, and we are the subjects."

"So?" Chu Wei's expression was light, with some doubts.

Seeing that he pretended not to understand, the head of the guard blushed, "Lord Chu just remembers that neither I nor Lord Xue will let anyone with malicious intentions take a step closer to the Holy Spirit."

Chu Wei frowned instantly, his eyes turned cold, the chill was like sharp ice.

Check it out.

Chu Wei looks like a clear breeze and a bright moon, but in fact his heart is dark, hiding all kinds of rebellious and dirty thoughts.On the other hand, Xue Yuan, although he is very bold and arrogant, at least he is open and aboveboard, and his appearance is the same.

As soon as he said it bluntly, didn't Chu Wei's face change?

The chief guard's impression of such a literati was even worse.

Chu Wei already understood what was going on, his face was looking ugly, but a childish voice suddenly sounded in front of him: "Nephew."

Zhuangyuan Lang frowned, subconsciously looked up.Only then did I know that at some time, they had already reached the door of the Chu Mansion, and at the door of the Chu Mansion, there was a boy wearing clean clothes and behaved well. When the boy saw him, he laughed reservedly and loudly Said: "My son protects my nephew!"

Chu Wei didn't speak for a long time, the sage turned his head, looked at him with a smile, and said amusedly: "Is this the elder of Zhuangyuanlang?"

The concierge of the Chu Mansion had seen the Holy Majesty, and was so frightened that he stood aside and did not dare to move around, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Master Uncle, this is the Holy Majesty."

The little boy's eyes widened slowly, and then he quickly knelt down and bowed to Gu Yuanbai, "Little boy has seen the Holy One."

"Get up," Gu Yuanbai said, "Can you get up?"

The little boy got up on hands and feet, clasped his arms together cautiously, and glanced at Chu Wei several times, anxiously wanting his nephew to teach him how to talk to the Holy Majesty.

This little boy looked about five or six years old, but he looked like a little adult.Gu Yuanbai walked over, lifted his robe and sat on the steps in front of the Chu Mansion, and said to the little boy who was stunned by the side: "What's your name?"

The little boy clasped his hands together, bent his body in an orderly manner, and said with a serious look: "The boy's name is Chu Yi, and the parents at home call him Chu Xiaosi."

"Brother Yi," Gu Yuanbai smiled, and pointed at Chu Wei specifically, "You call him nephew?"

"This is Xiaotong's Zihu nephew," Chu Xiaosi said, "Zihu nephew is very good, he won the first prize!"

The tips of Chu Wei's ears were slightly red, and after the Holy One said "It's really powerful", the redness deepened, and after a while, both ears were already clearly visible.

Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, "Since you are the elder of Zhuangyuanlang, if Zhuangyuanlang makes a mistake, are you going to teach him a lesson?"

Chu Xiaosi nodded, with a serious expression, "If my nephew does something wrong, the child will not protect him. It is said in the book: if the son does not teach, it is the father's fault."

"That's right," Gu Yuanbai said distressedly, "Today Zhuangyuan Lang made a small mistake, which made me unhappy. As an elder, tell me what you should do."

Chu Xiaosi was stunned, he looked at the sage, and then at Chu Wei, and finally took up the posture of an elder, and taught: "Your nephew, how can you do this?"

Chu Wei couldn't help but looked towards the Holy One, who noticed his gaze and blinked at him with a smile.Chu Wei knew that the Holy Majesty was just teasing him, the fourth uncle, so he couldn't help laughing, and then lowered his head.

Chu Xiaosi should seldom have the opportunity to use the style of the elders. After he finished lecturing Chu Wei, his little face was already flushed with excitement. He suppressed his excitement and saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, the boy has finished lecturing."

Gu Yuanbai pondered for a while, "Oh? Did the Zhuangyuan Lang know he was wrong?"

Chu Wei raised his lips helplessly, "I know I was wrong."

"Then for the sake of your fourth uncle, let me spare you this time," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "Don't waste your uncle's efforts."

Chu Xiaosi blushed even more.

Tian Fusheng held back his laughter. He took the cushion and said softly, "My lord, let me put a cushion for you. It's too cold on the ground, it's not good for you."

Gu Yuanbai simply got up, "Stop sitting, let's go."

Just as Chu Wei was about to continue to follow, Gu Yuanbai glanced at him and said with a smile: "Since this place is in Chu Qing's mansion, Chu Qing should take Brother Yi back to the mansion, and you don't have to stay with me anymore."

Chu Wei didn't speak, his little fourth uncle ran over and hugged his leg, Chu Wei bent down and hugged the little boy in his arms, looked at the Holy One, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, looking at the sky, it should be over in a while If it's raining, why don't you take a rest in the minister's mansion first?"

Gu Yuanbai looked towards the sky, and saw that the yellowish humidity was thick, and the cold wind swayed the green trees, it really looked like it was raining.

Gu Yuanbai thought about it, but before he could figure it out, he felt his cheeks cool down, and after reaching out his hand to brush the side of his face, he felt a touch of water.

The dry ground was speckled with wetness, and it started to rain.

Drop by drop, the raindrops fell on the chessboard from slow to dense.

On both sides of the chessboard are cakes, tea and jugs. The jugs are open, and the aroma of the wine inside is intertwined with the aroma of the tea on the side. These things are also soaked by the rain drop by drop.

Beside the stone table, Xue Yuan, who was waiting here, was still sitting upright.He was dressed in a black coat.With her high hair tied up, she was as silent as a statue.

A drop of rain fell from his forehead, and then slid down his chin.

The boy in the corridor took the oil-paper umbrella and was about to rush towards the courtyard, Xue Yuan just opened his mouth and said, "Don't come here."

The boy's footsteps stopped abruptly, "My lord, it's raining!"

"Your father hasn't been exposed to the rain?" Xue Yuan held the jug in his hand, turned the spout around a few times, and raised his neck to take a few mouthfuls with the rainwater.

The servant hurriedly said: "My lord, the doctor said, you must not drink alcohol, and you must not get wet in the rain."

"It's already drenched," Xue Yuan shook the flagon, "I've already drank it."

He stood up, soft raindrops fell on his face.At the end of summer, the rain seems to be much gentler, but no matter how gentle the rain is, it is still cold on the body.

He is used to deceiving people on the surface, but his heart is more ruthless than anyone else.

Xue Yuan walked down the corridor.

The servants in the corridor breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, those holding towel handkerchiefs took towel handkerchiefs, those who took ginger soup took ginger soup, only Xue Yuan stood motionless by the corridor, watching the rain curtain gradually thinning out. became denser.

He stood upright, and once he put on his outer robe, he occupied a large area by himself. Xue Yuan's eyes were good, and he only needed to squint a little, and he could see that the carefully prepared pastries on the stone table were being washed away by the rain little by little. Break up.

Xue Yuan took another sip of wine, turned his head and asked, "Where's the person?"

As soon as he finished asking, a drenched man ran in amidst the rain, "Eldest lord, the younger one saw His Majesty turning into Chu's mansion at the end of the alley."

The mansions of these princes and ministers around the Summer Palace are all leaning together in twos and threes.The Chu Mansion and the Xue Mansion are very destined, one is at the front and the other is at the end, but when Xue Yuan just came to the summer palace, he received fifty slaps and didn't show his face much in front of the mansion.

As soon as these words were said, the servants held their breath, for fear that Xue Yuan would lose his temper.But Xue Yuan laughed, "It's really here."

Xue Yuan's mood improved a lot, he pulled his lips into a smile, and stretched out his hand behind him, "Give me the umbrella."

The boy gave him the oil-paper umbrella, and Xue Yuan asked again, "Where's the bird?"

Another servant ran to fetch the birdcage hanging from the porch. What was locked in the birdcage was not a rare and rare bird, but a small sparrow with gray feathers.

Xue Yuan lifted the birdcage to the front, looked at the little sparrow inside, became interested, and asked with a chuckle, "You said, when the jade wrench finger in the hand of the Holy Master was taken away, did the Holy Master let you take it away on purpose, or Did you really steal it yourself?"

The bird naturally couldn't understand what he said, turned its head left and right, and then pecked at the feathers on its body.

Xue Yuan grinned, and walked out of Xue Mansion leisurely with an umbrella and a birdcage in hand.
