chronicle of court survival

"?"

Xia Qing had never met anyone who forced someone to ask questions.

Why keep him, isn't it because he can't be driven away?

From the very beginning, he appeared beside Lou Guanxue as a lingering evil ghost.

What a problem.

However, the atmosphere of their chat tonight was quite harmonious, Xia Qing silently swallowed the sarcasm, gave him a strange look with light brown eyes, nodded obediently, and asked slowly: "Oh, why?"

Lou Guanxue took every expression in his eyes, and his eyes were dark and unpredictable under the moonlight.

After a long time, he smiled lightly, put the bone flute back into his sleeve, and lazily gave an answer: "Maybe it's more fun to keep you."

Funny ass.

Xia Qing was no longer irritated by such words, with a deadpan expression on his face.

Lou Guanxue thought for a while, then said casually: "Xia Qing, do you really think that you are a ghost, so you can not be afraid of anything?"

Xia Qing fiddled with the relic on her wrist: "I'm not that stupid."

Lou Guanxue: "Huh?"

Xia Qing: "You know so many weird things, who knows if there is one that makes me go out of my mind."

Lou Guanxue was stunned for a moment, then his mind changed, and he laughed slowly: "So, are you sure that I won't touch you?"

Xia Qing was taken aback, rubbed his fingers against the edge of the red rope, and became a little irritable after a while: "You're never finished. Which of the two of us has more problems?"

Lou Guanxue stared at him for a while, with a half-smile on her lips, she said slowly and gently, "You don't want to answer my question next time, so you don't have to speak. I won't force you, don't be angry."

This low, coaxing tone made Xia Qing's scalp explode.

Depend on.

Lou Guanxue is absolutely perfect!

He quickened his pace and walked forward, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

His Majesty left in the middle of the Spring Banquet, leaving all the civil and military officials and noble ladies looking at each other in dismay, feeling apprehensive, but they didn't dare to say anything.

On the other side of the Jingxin Hall, Yan Lanyu really didn't say anything, she was still gentle and quiet, leaning on the phoenix couch, drinking a cup of tea, and talking softly.

"Guan Xue left halfway, but there is no one you like at the spring banquet?" She put down the teacup and smiled: "But your child has been different from others since he was a child. He was born in the palace and is used to seeing the ladies of the family. I am tired of this kind of heart, and I like some women with different temperaments."

She smiled brightly and calmly: "For so many years, I haven't seen many people around you. I heard that you brought a boy back a few days ago. Why didn't you bring it here to show to the queen mother?"

Lou Guanxue said lightly: "He doesn't want to come out."

Yan Lanyu's smile did not diminish at all: "Well, it seems that he is still a shy child. Eunuch Zhang said that you brought him from the people. It seems that Ai's previous words are correct. Compared with the scholarly family The delicate girl you raised may be more suitable to you among the common people in the market."

Lou Guanxue waited for her next words.

Yan Lanyu changed the subject: "It just so happened that the high priest came back and brought the news of the demon formation, which solved the problem that has plagued Chu for a hundred years. It is also a grand event. How about ordering the entire Lingguang City to celebrate together?"

She said: "The night market will be open at that time, imitating the Lantern Festival, lighting lamps to represent the Buddha, and going upstairs to worship. Zimo Street will definitely be crowded with people, and most of the lanterns will be young girls. You can choose one or two among them."

Lou Guanxue: "It's arranged by the Queen Mother."

Yan Lanyu nodded, laughed, and said softly in the sandalwood candlelight: "You are also over fifteen years old, and it's time to take care of the continuation of the Lou family's bloodline. The high priest said that he is still training formations, and the practice needs to wait." Last month, I hope that the matter of becoming a queen can also be carried out together, and it can be regarded as a double happiness for me."

The Royal Spring Banquet did not select a suitable candidate, Yan Lanyu was not in a hurry, and simply expanded it into a grand event for the whole world.As soon as the news leaked out, the men and women in the entire Lingguang City exploded for a while, and the streets and alleys were full of uproar about the matter of His Majesty's choice of concubine, which even overwhelmed the limelight of the monks who gathered in Lingguang recently.

"So, on the day of the lantern banquet, we had a chance to see His Majesty's demeanor on Zimo Street?!"

There are endless discussions on such topics in teahouses and restaurants.

"I have heard the name of Lingguang Zhuyu for a long time! This time I can finally see it clearly!"

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you will die to see clearly."

"I don't like to hear these words anymore, so many people are watching! How can His Majesty condescend to find out if I can be killed?"

"Tsk, I'm more curious about the young man taken away by His Majesty's Fengyue Tower."

"I'm also curious. I heard that Liulang of the Wei family has lost his mind. He probably doesn't have to die for Xuan Jiachai."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know what kind of stunning beauty it is."

Liulang of the Wei family has indeed lost his mind recently, but not because of the "extraordinary beauty" beside His Majesty.

After he came out of the palace last time, he seemed to have lost his soul.

When Wei Sixiniang came to return the token, she was surprised by his appearance.

I saw Wei Liuguang sitting in the pavilion in the center of the Duke's mansion, leaning on it like a boneless man, with a folding fan on the stone table, his eyes wandering, sitting there thinking about life.

Wei Liuniang twirled the token with her fingers, and walked lightly in front of him: "Wei Liu? Wei Liu!" She yelled to see if she had brought him back to her senses, then raised her voice for a moment, and held the token in front of him vigorously. Shaking it, he said angrily, "Wei Liu! What are you thinking, you, I am so big, you didn't see it?"

Wei Liuguang raised his eyes, glanced at her flutteringly, and waved his hand lazily in a low spirit: "Go find your wild man, don't bother your cousin."

Wei Sixiniang smiled strangely, sat down with her skirt up, held her cheeks opposite him, and said sweetly, "I don't, what kind of wild man are you looking for? Who in the world can be more important than my sixth brother?"

Wei Liuguang was made goose bumps by her pretentiousness, but he was kind to his cousins ​​at home, so he didn't get angry.Glancing at her, he said sarcastically, "That's not what you said last time when you asked me to disguise myself as a woman to meet Lou Guanxue for you."

"Isn't that a bad idea you came up with yourself? Besides, you didn't go there either? Oh, you were in the palace that day, so uncle didn't catch you, right?"

Wei Sixiniang had a rare conscience, and asked with a guilty conscience.

Wei Liuguang didn't pay attention to her anymore, his eyes wandered here and there, still immersed in his own world.

"Wei Liu!" Wei Liuniang is the youngest daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and the jewel in the palm of Wei Taifu.Since she was a child, she was also grown up with a lot of pets, so it is inevitable that she will be a little coquettish.Seeing that Wei Liu ignored her, he simply leaned over and pulled his hair to force him back to his senses.

"Wei Liu, I care about you! What's your attitude?"

Wei Liuguang grinned his teeth in pain, and pulled his hair from the hands of this little girl who had no brother, angrily: "It's not big or small, you are really lawless by the third uncle's pampering!"

Wei Sixiniang withdrew her hand and smiled: "Who told you to ignore me."

Wei Liuguang turned back from his thoughts just now, and then suddenly asked: "Wei Niansheng, if one day you are no longer favored, what will happen?"

Wei Sixiniang blinked innocent eyes: "Are you talking about you?" She smiled sweetly: "You don't spoil me, I still have my father, I still have Gu Lang, there will be no such day."

Wei Liuguang picked up the folding fan, fanned the wind with anger, and sneered: "Are you so confident? Your sixth brother and I have never seen anything like this! Maybe the Gu Lang you married you will soon meet a vicious mother-in-law, and you It's such a spoiled and spoiled temper. When the mother-in-law doesn't like it and the husband gets tired, he can only sit at the gate of the mansion with a sad face every day to find a concubine for your Gu Lang."

Sixteenth Wei: "..."

Wei Liuniang barked her teeth and claws in anger: "Wei Liuguang, you are going to die!!"

Wei Liuguang continued to owe: "And at that time, the Wei family couldn't control the water splashed by the married daughter. You can only cry and die in the boudoir alone."

Wei Sixiniang: "Shut up!"

Wei Liuguang put away his folding fan, sat upright suddenly, and asked, "So, Wei Niansheng, if one day you lose everything, what will happen to you?"

Wei Sixiniang stared at him, and said coldly, "I can answer this question, but first tell me, what were you thinking just now?"

When Wei Liuguang heard this question, his expression became erratic again.He pursed his upper and lower lips, and then said softly: "I met a man in the palace, he was crying, crying made me feel very uncomfortable..."

It was so uncomfortable that my heart was throbbing.

Wei Sixiniang nodded: "Oh. So you are attracted to someone you shouldn't be interested in."

Wei Liuguang was in a panic, and squeezed his fan tightly: "What do you mean you shouldn't look at it?"

Wei Sixiniang casually picked up the melon seeds on the table: "Otherwise, wouldn't the palace be filled with His Majesty's people? You wouldn't be interested in an eunuch, would you?"

Wei Liuguang: "..." The dog couldn't spit out ivory.

Wei Liuguang said with a cold face: "Okay, I'm done. You answer me quickly, what will happen if you lose everything."

That night, in order to avoid his third uncle, he broke into a remote house, but saw a young man who was [-]% similar to the woman who saved him in his memory.

The boy cried for a long time.

Hearing the sad, aggrieved and helpless voice of that young man, Wei Liuguang's heart throbbed, throbbing with pain like convulsions.He, a prodigal son in love who had always been romantic and lucky, actually felt a little sad after being cried.

The boy's skin was tender, and he was wearing a green eunuch's robe, just like a green bamboo shoot.

From his cries, Wei Liu learned that the young man used to be Liang Guo's most favored little prince, but now that the country is ruined and his family is ruined, he has been directly reduced to the most humble servant, his delicate hands are covered with scars and frostbite.

The boy said he had nothing left.

Overnight, he went from a little prince who was loved by thousands of stars to a little eunuch who was slaughtered and trampled on wantonly.

He said that there is no one in this world who can be trusted, and no one is willing to care about him.

He has nothing left.

Wei Liuguang looked at the delicate and willful Wei Niansheng today, and couldn't help but wonder if that young boy was so flamboyant and carefree before.

Thinking of it this way made his heart ache even more.

Wei Liuniang kept her word, and seemed to have thought about it for a while before slowly saying: "We are cousins, if I lose everything, you probably won't be much better."

"You have been domineering in Lingguang for so long. I don't know how many enemies you have. It is estimated that there are many people who came to seek revenge after being down and down. In addition, you are now looking for someone from His Majesty. How miserable, Wei Liu. You are beaten every day, and you still have to pay for it." Feeling hurt."

"..."

Wei Liuguang was speechless with anger: "...I'm asking you what will happen if no one favors you! It's not me!"

Wei Liuniang was also speechless by his anger: "What can I do! If no one is petting, no one will be petting! Can I still hurry up and find someone to come over?! No one is petting, just have fun on my own."

Wei Sixiniang calmed down: "So if there is such a day, I will definitely sit at the door with a sad face every day to summon Gu Lang's concubine, and then move the stool to your place to eat melon seeds and watch jokes."

As she said that, she demonstrated it to Wei Liu, biting the melon seeds crisply.

"Oh, like this."

Wei Liuguang: "..."

He wanted to get answers from Wei Niansheng such as "It must have been miserable" and "Maybe I won't live", and then he was convinced of his imagination, and felt even more distressed about that young boy.

In the end, what kind of answer did Wei Niansheng get! ! !

"Go away, I get angry just looking at you." He drove people away.

Wei Niansheng grinned, and slipped away with the melon seeds in his arms. When he descended the stone steps outside the pavilion, the delicate flowers embroidered on the skirt were glowing with golden light, splendid and rich.She paused, and suddenly turned around with a smile: "But sixth brother, Gu Lang said that he wants to be a couple with me for the rest of his life, so I won't have such a miserable chance in my life."

Wei Liu's face sank like water.

Before Wei Liu was about to throw the folding fan over, she immediately said obediently: "Of course, I didn't say this to provoke you. You should stop thinking about His Majesty's woman. I heard that the Empress Dowager chooses a concubine for His Majesty, so I decided There will be a lantern feast in Lingguang City in three days, when Zimo Street will be crowded with people, you can go find another beautiful woman."

Wei Liuguang involuntarily clenched the folding fan tightly with his fingers, and then lowered his head, as if he could still feel the feeling of uncontrollable heart beating. His voice was very soft, scattered in the wind: "No, this time is different from before."

Wei Sixiniang was so disgusted by his affection, she ate a melon seed and rolled her eyes: "It's okay, when uncle finds out, it will be the same as before."

As before, it ends with you kneeling in the ancestral hall and weeping and admitting your mistake.

In front of the old Duke, her cousin is just a brat who hasn't grown his hair yet.

Wei Liuguang: "..."

He wanted to refute, but did.

Hearing Wei Niansheng talk about his father, he didn't dare to think about anything, and he couldn't even take care of his heartache.

What an old man his father is! ! !Look how frightened he is! ! !
