Placid Chang'an

It was getting dark quickly in winter, Qu Ling'er leaned against the window and stared blankly at a magnolia tree that had lost all its leaves in the yard.

He lay on the bed for more than half a month, and Su Cen almost buried those precious medicinal materials. The dregs of the medicine he drank alone piled up half a foot thick under the magnolia tree. It can be predicted that this magnolia tree will grow gratifyingly next year .

Now that he finally got En's permission to get out of bed and walk around, he only thought that the farther away from that bed the better.

In the past half a month, he has seen everyone from the top to the bottom of the Su residence, and even the distinguished Prince Ning came to his room to peep into his room—although he came to look for his brother Su, but unfortunately, that person once I haven't seen him either.

Maybe, after all, it's not the same way.

I don't know when a bird came in from the yard. It was perched on a dead branch of a magnolia. Its hair color was gray and white, and there was a bunch of small red hairs on the top. It looked very cute.

Qu Ling'er went back to her room and took an almond cake, twisted some shortbread crumbs and put it on the window sill, now that there is no grain in this cold month, it is not easy for such a bird to wander outside without a refuge.

The bird stood in a stalemate on the tree for a while, and finally flapped its wings down and pecked at the little shortbread crumbs.

This bird is not afraid of people, Qu Ling'er took some shortbread in her palm, the bird tilted its head to look at him, and jumped onto Qu Linger's palm without hesitation.

One person and one bird were playing vigorously, Qu Ling'er only felt that someone's eyes fell on her, and when she raised her head slightly, she saw a figure standing tall behind the flower wall, seeing him looking over and then turning away.

Qu Ling'er quickly patted the shortbread crumbs on her palm, stood up and rushed out the door.

However, the mist is dark, the courtyard is empty, and the figure behind the flower wall has long since disappeared.

That night, he didn't eat the so-called floating cloud and egret soup. The second young master of the Su family was so unhappy that he vented his anger on the inkstone when he was grinding ink that night. I wrote a few words in different shades of ink.

"Okay," Li Shi said, "If you don't want to grind, then you don't have to. Don't get angry with ink."

Su Cen looked at an ink ingot in his hand with rhinoceros lines in it. It was Ting Guimo, known as "gold is easy to get, but Li Mo is hard to find". Finally, he couldn't bear to do harm, let go of his hand and complained: "If you don't stand The rules are not perfect, even if the small family is like this, the royal family should lead by example, why didn't the prince punish someone who made a mistake?"

Since Li Shi came to Yangzhou, all the booklets from all over the country began to be sent to Yangzhou, and they had to be approved until late at night every day.Li Shi soaked up some ink and continued to review the memorial, and said in a neutral way: "It's not like I've been punished."

Su Cen's resentment could not be resolved just by punishing him with a dinner, he said angrily, "What about Ling'er, what about the sword he stabbed Qu Ling'er?"

Li Shi asked, "Qu Linger asked you to come?"

Su Cen didn't make a sound, and Qu Linger didn't know what kind of ecstasy potion had been poured into her. If she asked him who hurt her, he still wouldn't admit it, let alone come and complain.

Li Shi didn't raise his head: "The Lord didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry?"

Su Cen was only thinking about getting Qu Linger back, so she said directly, "Qu Linger is mine, I..."

Lord Qiantui frowned, stopped writing, apparently getting impatient, looked up at him, and said, "Qi Lin is also mine."

Su Cen was sweating profusely and didn't dare to do it again.The so-called Yiyu can die, so many days of being favored and proud, he even got so carried away that he forced Li Shi to deal with the people around him.

"I didn't punish Qi Lin because I didn't think he did anything wrong. I asked him to bring him back. He did it. Why should I punish him? You weren't there when the incident happened, so how did you know it wasn't Qu? Ling'er wants to go to the secret door with information? Or is Qu Ling'er colluding with the secret door to rebel and attack Qi Lin? Now it is Qu Linger who is hurt, you come to me to seek justice, and if Qi Lin is hurt, what should I do? ?”

Su Cen's back felt cold, he hadn't confronted this person for a long time, he almost forgot how cold and heartless this person was at the beginning, and if he really wanted to kill him, it was just a matter of nodding his fingers.

"Everything is about willingness. Since Qu Ling'er didn't say anything, she accepted it voluntarily. You don't need to help him out."

"My ink is dry," Li Shi waved his hand, "You step back and let Qi Lin in."

Su Cen stood there without moving for a long time, struggling again and again, but he calmed down and gave in. He picked up the ink ingot and asked cautiously, "I'll do it, okay?"

Li Shi didn't raise his head, so Su Cen assumed that he had acquiesced, rolled up his sleeves and focused on grinding without saying much.

The ink that was re-ground was fine and black, and the pen and paper were not glued together. Until the middle of the night, Li Shi finished approving all the papers, and there were no more accidents.

Li Shi put away his pen, raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, he was meek and respectful, his legs were still standing still all night, his hands didn't stop, his wrist must be sore.

He seemed to be well-behaved and rounded, but he knew what this man was thinking.

After solving the state affairs and then coming to coordinate family affairs, Li Shi opened his arms and said to humanity: "Come."

Su Cen naturally sat down in front of the person, neither flattering nor complaining, with lowered eyebrows as if giving and asking.

Li Shi sighed, Emperor Ming is easy to do, but Lord Qing is hard to do, he squeezed his sharp chin and said: "Punish the salary for one month, is it alright?"

Su Cen raised his eyes. He naturally knew that Li Shi gave him a step down, so he should be grateful and grateful at this moment. However, Mr. Su was born with a rebellious body, and stretched out two fingers to make an inch and said, "Two months."

Li Shi compromised with a smile, the so-called penalty salary, Qi Lin lives in Xingqing Palace, has no hobbies, and no relatives, it is not once or twice that he does not get the salary, it is not important at all.

But the beauty has to get used to it. In exchange for a sweet date, the person in her arms is relieved, and she is alive again, with bright eyes and good looks, and has become the sharp-mouthed little fox in the daytime again.

For a while he said that the salt merchant in the daytime was treacherous, and for a while he said that the clerk in the yamen's handwriting was ugly, but Li Shi knew that this man would talk non-stop when he was afraid, and he was with the king like a tiger, so he was still scared just now.

Su Cen was very helpful when Li Shi pinched his wrists.Studying ink is also a skill. The ink should be held straight, the hand should be suspended in the air, and the force should be even. , but if you stand and grind ink all night, even if you are doing it while doing it lazily, your hands will be sore.

Li Shi pinpointed a few acupuncture points on his wrist and rubbed them lightly, it was sore and numb, very refreshing.

Su Cen stood up and kissed the corner of the man's lips, his brows were affectionate, with such a little flattery, the thorns were put away, and it turned into a cavity of spring water.

The old fox squinted his eyes, and his eyes changed instantly.

The two picked her up by the waist, and sent them to the bed without taking two steps.

On the first day Li Shi came, he hurt his leg. Prince Ning had been here for half a month and had eaten vegetarian food for half a month.

Li Shi didn't have the slightest patience to take away the clothes of people in a big way, so he just picked up the people's legs and was ready to go.

Su Cen lowered his head and mumbled, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He still overestimated his self-healing ability, and now the scab on this knee is shedding, and new flesh will be torn with a slight movement, and then the skin will be ripped apart, and blood will ooze from the gap.

He could see the wound, so naturally Li Shi could see it too.

The man squinted his eyes and stared at it for a long while, Su Cen gritted his teeth, thinking that it was nothing more than another bleeding, another scab, if he accepted Li Shi's love tonight, he would sacrifice himself once more, before Li Shi could speak. But suddenly withdrew.

The arrow is on the string, but this person stopped it?

Su Cen was stunned for a moment, her heart was half warm, but she also knew that she had swept away her sex.

Xu Wei's meat, it's uncomfortable for people to think about it all night, Su Cen pulled Li Shi's sleeves, and said cautiously: "How about I go and call Feng Yiming for you?"

Seeing that there was no movement, Su Cen was about to get dressed and got out of bed, but was pushed back on the bed.

Li Shi stared into those eyes and said word by word: "I don't want him, I want you."

The fingertip lingered on the person's lips for a moment, and said: "Use your mouth."

Master Su's cheek hurts.

While lamenting how this thing was born, at the same time calculating that it will take half an hour, so there is no movement?

In the past, you would come and go between the beds, and he would be considered a part of it, and he could have some fun, but now, apart from being troubled, there is nothing left but tears.

For the first time in his life, Mr. Su's verbal pain was not due to his argument in court, but his prostration to Prince Ning.

"Be serious." Li Shi pressed the back of his head and pushed him down a little bit, Su Cen sobbed with his neck stuck, tears were forced out a little bit.

When they finally disarmed, Su Cen was choked to death and coughed for most of the night, with the smell of rust in his throat.

This might as well be the overlord's bow from the very beginning.

Li Shi helped him wipe off the remaining stains on his face little by little, pulled him into his arms, and teased, "How does it taste?"

Su Cen's voice was hoarse, but her smile was like a poisoned poppy, "The prince's reward is naturally good."

Li Shi pinched Su Cen's chin and smiled, "Do you still want it?"

Su Cen: "...cough cough cough."

Li Shi laughed, put his back in his arms outside the crowd, waited for the cough to stop, and then asked: "Have you stayed in Yangzhou enough?"

Su Cen raised his head, "Are you going back to Chang'an?"

"Things in Yangzhou are almost done. If we don't go back, there will be chaos in Beijing." Li Shi patted Su Cen on the back repeatedly, "Someone who has a heart is thinking of pro-government again."

Although Li Shi was in Yangzhou, Chang'an was not left behind. He said that someone was going to move, so he already had definite news.Su Cen nodded, "Then go back."

Li Shidao: "Chang'an can be cold."

Su Cen smiled in his arms, "With you, I'm not afraid."
