Si Tian Guan

"Second brother! Second brother!"

Without looking up, Liu Chongming knew who was coming just by hearing the voice.

The man didn't hear any reply, stepped across the threshold of the study, and shouted again: "Second brother, you are here, why shouldn't I say anything?"

A person behind him answered with a smile: "You bark non-stop, and with such a loud voice, even if Chongming answers, you still can't hear it."

Bai Shilei sat down on the chair, hunched his neck and didn't look at him directly: "I don't listen to you, my name is Second Brother."

"What bastard, I'm your real brother!" Bai Shiyan was furious.

Liu Chongming couldn't help but smile, and only when these two people came over would his study become so lively.

"You two are not on duty today?"

Bai Shiyan also found a seat by the window: "I'm taking a bath today, he's on duty, but my father is afraid that he will cause trouble when he is idle, so he will just stuff him in the queue."

"I also have business to do every day! I don't just stuff it casually!" Bai Shilei protested.

"Fart big kid, what's the business, hurry up and pour a glass of water for brother."

"Of course it's business." Bai Shilei didn't give his brother orders: "I can even lead troops out, unlike you, who walk around the capital every day."

"Hey, say one more thing!"

Seeing that his brother was about to beat someone up, Bai Shilei slipped behind Liu Chongming: "Second brother, am I right?"

With his clothes pulled, Liu Chongming leaned back in the chair and flicked his finger on his forehead.

"It's hot, go get a glass of water."

"It's really hot."

Bai Shiyan wiped the sweat from his forehead, the weather was already so hot before summer, and it would be even more difficult in summer.

There was ice water in the copper basin beside him, he took the cup handed by his younger brother, looked at the desk with his head, with a look of disgust on his face: "Chongming, don't you get tired of reading these things every day?"

"How can you get bored?" Liu Chongming flipped through the pages unhurriedly: "It's all white money, I like it."

"Look at you, you don't look like a son of the Hou family, you are simply a profiteer."

Liu Chongming didn't feel ashamed: "I was originally, in this capital, who would say that I am not?"

"Look at you," Bai Shiyan pointed at him from afar, "Having saved so much money, do you plan to marry someone rich?"

Liu Chongming sneered, and proudly said: "Gold is precious or not, it's another matter, there is no one in Beijing that I can take a fancy to."

"Hey! You can't say it so absolutely. There is a way that one thing descends one thing. You don't know it because you haven't touched it yet."

"That's right!" Bai Shilei echoed, "Look at my dad, he's still under my mother's strict control."

Bai Shiyan took a sip and sighed comfortably: "I came here today to ask you, did you receive King Qi's post, and are you going?"

"He's had a hard time, and he finally returned to Beijing. It's good to get together." Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Liu Chongming said again: "And there is a chance to eat and drink for free, why don't you go? Not only him, but King Ning, Huai I can always accept Wang's post."

Bai Shiyan laughed.

With Chongming's calm, mature and prudent appearance, his worries always seemed superfluous.

Now several princes have been enshrined in the court, and what they say to the outside world is that the princes are not very old, and the emperor wants to keep them by his side for a few more years, and has not sent them to the fiefdom.

But many people knew in their hearts that the emperor hadn't made up his mind yet, which one to push in the end.

Although the Miss Liu family has been named a noble concubine, her status in the harem is only below that of the empress. She has been favored for several years but has no children.

As a result, the Liu family, who had been the pillars of the court for generations, was in a very weird and embarrassing situation.

If Concubine Liu Gui remained childless, the Liu family of the Marquis of Anding would naturally be the ones that the princes would try their best to win over, but once Concubine Liu Gui conceived the prince, the Liu family would become the enemy of the princes overnight.

What's more, the Liu family not only has the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, but also many branches of the Liu family who serve in the court and various places, as well as the Bai family who has been in-laws with the Liu family for generations.

Chariot General Bai Shining is the most reassuring name in the land of Dayu. It seems that as long as this name is still there, those wolf cubs outside the pass will not dare to covet it.

The Bai and Liu families are inseparable, and they have been a force that no one dared to underestimate in the past dynasties. It is both eager to move and fearful.

But in private, more people are guessing that Concubine Liu Gui has no children under her great favor, if it is not that she is weak and unlucky, it is very likely that it was the order of that person.

This is all just speculation.

Although there were some people in the court who stood in the ranks of the kings because of the relationship between the open and the dark, but more people, like the Liu family and the Bai family, maintained a wait-and-see and neutral attitude.

Before everything is settled, no one dares to draw conclusions.

Bai Shilei was younger than the two of them, and every time he came over to join in the fun, he couldn't get into the topic. He walked around a couple of times shaking his hands, and began to feel boring: "Second brother, where is Qingchi? Doesn't he usually come to your place?"

Liu Qingchi, the third son of the Liu family, happened to be about the same age as Bai Shilei.

"Qingchi? I'm busy with my studies, I come here occasionally, not many times." Liu Chongming began to pack up the paperwork.

"I don't think so," Bai Shiyan laughed at him, "You should say that Qing Chi's mind is noble, and he doesn't think you are interested in money."

"You're right." Liu Chongming raised his chin, signaling the two to wait here.

"By the way, Chongming." Before he went out, Bai Shiyan asked casually, "Have you seen Fang Wuyang recently? I have something to do with him."

"I just fished him out of Ruanhongfang yesterday and left him with me. You can find him yourself."

"Huanyi Building?" Bai Shiyan tutted, "The weasel has entered the chicken coop."

He squinted his eyes and suddenly laughed badly: "I said you, you have a friend like Fang Wuyang, and you guard the chicken coop, why aren't you a weasel?"

Liu Chongming understood what he said, cast a sidelong glance, and flicked his sleeves as he passed by.

"just kidding!"

Bai Shiyan jumped up vigilantly in time, and heard the cracking sound of the chair legs. When he looked back, he had already gone out.

"What's wrong?" Bai Shilei leaned over to check, "What did you say? Why is Second Brother so angry?"

Bai Shiyan laughed in pain, but waved his hands: "It's nothing, children, don't ask."

Chongming is the most uncompromising at this point, he even opened a entertainment venue under his name, but he is still so pure and uninvolved in love, so he is the only one who can make small jokes.

Not long after, Liu Chongming changed his clothes and greeted the two of them: "Let's go, you two came here in a hurry for lunch, and you obviously want to eat here again? It seems that you are not afraid of getting the smell of copper money in my place."

When he stepped over the threshold, something made a clear and weak sound, which made Bai Shilei ask: "Second Brother, what is making the sound on your body?"

Liu Chongming turned around and showed him a small jade pendant pinned to his waist. There was also a small jade bead hanging on one corner of the jade pendant. When it touched the jade pendant, it would make a little noise.

Bai Shiyan is no stranger to this thing, he accompanied Liu Chongming to the South Road Zen Temple to ask for it, but when the host changed Chongming for this personal amulet, he was not allowed to accompany him into the Zen room.

"Chongming," he pushed his younger brother to the front, walked side by side with Liu Chongming, and asked softly, "Is it better after that?"

What he asked was naturally that weird dream. It was fine to have repeated it in the past few years, but now there is a follow-up, which is a bit scary.

"Well," Liu Chongming nodded, and replied vaguely, "Don't worry."

He slowly stepped out of the threshold, listening to the occasional crisp sound from his waist, some things he didn't tell Bai Shiyan.

In the dream, he also heard the sound.

Jinxi Academy, who had been entangled for many years, disappeared. He stood on the stone steps in the palace, and the voice came from far and near very slightly.

The man with the jade pendant walked unhurriedly, with an elegant and upright manner, and very rhythmic. Every few steps forward, the jade bead collided with the waist pendant, making a ding sound.

He recognized that the jade pendant was exactly the one on his body.

Every time he took a step forward, his blood became hotter. Although the face could not be seen clearly in the dream, the man was hooking him invisibly.

He can even feel that even if there is a pair of dry bones under the clothes, it is just as mesmerizing.

The man stopped not far away, wondering if he was calling him to come over, but before he could take a few steps up, when he raised his eyes again, the man had already gone far away, and at some point in front of him a building he had never seen before appeared.

He looked around and confirmed that he was still in the palace, but he had never been to this place. He only vaguely saw the word "Pavilion" on the plaque, and then saw a person coming out from the corner. It was Eunuch Yu, who had always served the emperor. The eunuch next to him.

The fact is that there is another person beside Eunuch. From his angle, if you don't look up, you can only see the hem of that person's clothes, and there is no jade pendant on the hem of the clothes—it's not the person just now, it's wearing ordinary clothes.

He could guess the identity of this person just by the hem of his clothes.

The emperor believes in the gods, and everything needs to be calculated. The post of Sitian official in the palace in the past dynasties was originally a idle job, but now it is raised to the height of admiration.

This location has fulfilled the dream of many people to reach the sky in one step. It is not only a stage for charlatans with various tricks, but also a place where various forces in the DPRK and China try their best to place people.

But how can there be so many prophets in the world.So far, the one who has been proud of this position for the longest time has only stayed for a little over a year.

The frequency of replacement was too fast, Liu Chongming only saw the hem of the clothes, but didn't know who this person was.

Eunuch Yu said something to the man, and the two walked together in the direction where the jade-wearing man had just left. Before leaving, the man seemed to turn sideways and looked at him.

Liu Chongming never saw the face of that Sitian official, but he felt that the narrow and slender waist seemed very familiar, as if he had touched it countless times.

This is the first time for such a muddled and mindless dream.

Thinking of what the abbot said when he handed the jade pendant to him—do everything from the heart, don't regret it anymore, he couldn't help touching the jade pendant.

Suddenly a very absurd idea came up.

I don't know whether the jade pendant of that person was a gift from him, or he is wearing that man's jade pendant now.

No matter what, their relationship is different from other people's intimacy, even more familiar than him and the Bai family brothers, but why he can't remember at all who this person is.
