Self-cultivation of male support

Back on the mountain, Shi Yan sighed faintly: "The world is impermanent, and one hair can affect the whole body. I used to see my uncle's face, but after several changes, he is the one who is most destined for my Taoism. Now my uncle is married and has a child. On the contrary, he is the most likely to live. The one with fireworks, his previous face has long been changed beyond recognition because of Chang Qing's intervention.

Zhou Yulong, who is the most turbulent, would rather be a white-headed old woman than return to her teenage years. It can be seen that the most fickle thing in this world is the human heart. "

Xiaojia said quietly: "So, Tong'er always doesn't understand what you are thinking in your heart..."

Zhou Yulong is worthy of Zhou Yuqiao's evaluation of her: she was smart since she was a child, but she didn't put her mind on the right path.

After she experienced life and death, and saw through the indifference of the world, she entered the palace and begged an imperial edict with the old queen, and became a monk to become a sister-in-law.

The old queen felt sorry for her loneliness, so she asked someone to build a Taoist temple for her in Xishan, and as the master of the temple, she found a few trustworthy people to help her manage the Taoist temple, and wanted her to live as freely as possible in the remaining years.

Zhou Yulong called herself the old woman of Xishan, and An Anxin stayed in the house to recite scriptures. After all, it was what Shi Yan said personally. People who have a relationship with Taoism gradually calmed down. Don't ask about world affairs.

As for Zhou Yuqiao's plan?

Oh, Zhou Yulong hasn't forgotten who secretly ordered her to grab food with a group of servants, and deliberately sprinkled water on her thin quilt, so that she couldn't eat or sleep.

Obviously she was in her own mother's other courtyard, she was the master, but in turn was climbed onto the head by several servants, sincerely her maids and servants all disappeared, and the distress letter she tried to send to Changqing did not respond , for what she is clear.

It's just that I didn't have the energy to care about it at the time.

Now it is different, Zhou Yulong bid farewell to the Empress Dowager on the way out of the palace in the evening, deliberately stayed in the imperial garden for a quarter of an hour, picked a few of her usual favorite peonies, put them in a basket, and carried them out of the palace with her own hands Walking in the same direction, as expected, outside Jianzhang Palace, I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony and returning to the East Palace of the Prince.

The crown prince saw that Zhou Yulong seemed to be in good spirits, wearing plain clothes on his body, and he really had the feeling of being a monk. Thinking of her legendary experience, he immediately became interested, and chatted with this cousin briefly.

Seeing Zhou Yulong's face, although the prince had a feeling of facing an elder, there was unexpectedly no sense of disobedience, probably because Zhou Yulong himself acted too naturally, the prince thought.

Zhou Yulong said all her future plans, and finally said to the prince in a gentle tone: "Prince, you are my cousin, Yu Qiao is my cousin, and you two are my closest relatives.

I will not go out of the Taoist temple if I have nothing to do in the future. I hope you and sister Yuqiao will have a smooth life. "

Zhou Yulong hesitated for a moment, and still said to the prince: "Sister Yuqiao visited me a few days ago, and I heard her complaining by chance, saying that it was the prince's cousin, you had a pimple in your heart because of Changqing's cousin secretly pursuing her, Not wanting to talk to her made her very sad."

The prince's brows twitched suddenly, and his face changed for a moment, but he was a person who had seen the big scene, and he could still keep his face steady.

Zhou Yulong seemed to have discovered nothing, with a worried face, sincerely looking for the two of them: "Cousin, maybe it is somewhat inappropriate for me to say these words in the status of sister Yuqiao now.

But I always want to untie this knot for you husband and wife before you become a monk.

After all, when I ran after Changqing, Changqing only had sister Yuqiao in his eyes.But now, Changqing took his second aunt to visit the mountains and rivers, and today I am still with the queen mother, and I saw the poems written by Changqing during the trip, and my heart is calm, free and easy, open-minded and far away, which shows that I really let go.

And I have walked between life and death, and I have learned a lesson, and I will hold a renunciation ceremony at Xishan Taoist Temple in a few days.

The three of us have always been single arrows. Sister Yuqiao has never responded to Changqing's overtures. She only has poetry, calligraphy and painting in her heart, and she can't hold other things at all. You should be more magnanimous, Prince cousin.

Thinking about these words, Sister Yuqiao is out of her daughter's thoughts, so I am embarrassed to say this to you, my husband, so let me, my sister, explain it clearly for her.

Cousin, you will live a good life with Sister Yuqiao in the future. When you are young, your family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous. When you are older, you will stretch the country and seek the well-being of the people of the world. "

Zhou Yulong also seemed to feel that he had talked a little too much, and then he turned around and left the prince with a look of hope that the husband and wife would live in harmony and love for a lifetime, and left lightly.

There is no memory of the grandeur of the palace.

In Zhou Yulong's heart, this act was regarded as revenge for herself and her servant, and she had no worries in her heart, so she walked naturally and freely.

But with the crown prince and Zhou Yuqiao, the matter had just begun. Only then did the crown prince know that he was being played around by a woman who thought she was in the palm of her hand.

He always thought that Zhou Yuqiao didn't know anything about what Cheng Changqing did secretly for her. He just thought that this woman was aloof and stupid, but now he knew that she knew everything, and could pretend to know nothing and enjoy everything without any psychological burden. As a result, it was truly terrifying.

Nothing can bear careful consideration, and with suspicion here, many of Zhou Yuqiao's actions, in the eyes of the crown prince, have even more ulterior motives.

If Shi Yan were to describe Zhou Yulong's actions, there would be only one sentence - green tea is delicious, but it burns your mouth, so don't be greedy.

Of course, I don’t care about these times. When I saw my uncle and aunt again in my small courtyard, there was a faint trace of the scar on my aunt’s face. When I was dressing up, I covered it up a little, and people who didn’t know couldn’t see it. out.

The aunt said to Shi Yan very generously: "A Yan, your plaster is really useful. My aunt smears it on her face with her fingers every day. She doesn't want to waste the rest. She wipes it on the palm of her hand. Look at how auntie is." Hands are more delicate than when I was 16!"

Cheng Lixue said very straightly: "What's the comparison? When you were 16 years old, you danced with knives and guns every day, and your palms were full of calluses. They are definitely not as delicate as they are now!"

Cheng Lixue also wanted to say that even her wife's face when she was 16 years old was not as delicate as it is now.

Seeing that his uncle was about to suffer, Shi Yan calmly said to the two: "I may have to go on a long trip in a few days."

Cheng Lixue immediately asked very nervously: "Where are you going? Do you want to go secretly or ask His Majesty to leave? How long will you be going? Do you want uncle to arrange staff for you?"

Shi Yan shook his head: "It will take about two months to go back and forth. Someone will make it clear to His Majesty at that time. Don't worry, there are people who will take care of me on the way. They will arrange everything properly. I just need to follow them.

Besides, with He Wu following, as long as we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there will be no problem in terms of safety. "

Cheng Lixue thought that this was really the case, and heard Shi Yan's swearing, but she didn't mean to talk to him in detail, so she could barely resist the urge to continue asking, thinking about looking back for some clichés.

He really didn't expect that He Wuye didn't know anything about this matter, and he only knew it after hearing what he said.

Shi Yan said while looking at his aunt's abdomen: "I hope I can hear good news when I come back."

Cheng Lixue's attention was immediately diverted, and she happily said, "I'd like to borrow your good words!"

As an uncle, Cheng Lixue never thought that there would be someone taking care of and arranging for what Shi Yan said on the way, and someone would personally explain it to the emperor.

Cheng Lixue was rushed into the palace overnight by the emperor, and saw the emperor wearing only pajamas and a cloak, and said to him with a guilty face: "The guards of Wanfo Temple came to report that spies from Xiyue Kingdom sneaked into Wanfo Temple and kidnapped him." General Feng's son, because the child lives in a remote place, and has the experience of not going out of the hospital all day.

When our people found out, they had already been taken away by the spies of Xiyue Kingdom. According to the time, they had already left the capital by now, and I had already sent people to chase after him.

The reason why I ordered you to come is because you often dealt with Xiyue Kingdom in the early years, and you won and lost in direct confrontations on the battlefield, so you know their behavior very well.I want you to personally lead the army and secretly explore the route of the Xiyue Kingdom spies. It is best to stop them on the way. "

What the emperor didn't say was that if they couldn't stop people in their homeland, Shi Yan's arrival in Xiyue Kingdom would be a disaster. The two of them knew this very well.

The heartache on Cheng Lixue's face, shock, sadness, worry, and pretending to be calm was very good. In fact, only the shock and worry were real in her heart.

In an instant, he remembered what Shi Yan told him when he went up the mountain two days ago.

This is obviously known and prepared for a long time ago, and he has set a two-month return date, how can he not be shocked?

But no matter how shocked he was, the worry in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. No matter how powerful he was, Shi Yan was still a six-year-old child in his heart.

The border between Xiyue Kingdom and Xihua Kingdom has never been peaceful. The two countries have equal national strengths, and no one can take advantage. Today you scratch my paw, and tomorrow I will kick you. Each has their own contacts, and they have always checked and balanced each other to maintain stability. state.

When Shi Yan's father was alive, he was a well-known general on the battlefield. He killed countless Xiyue people. To this day, the mention of his name still makes the people of Xiyue beat their chests with hatred. .

In the end, both Feng Ziran and his wife died at the hands of General Wu Xian, the second rank of Xiyue Kingdom. The morale of the Xiyue Kingdom's army was greatly boosted, and Xihua Kingdom suffered defeats for several months.

But these were not enough, Xiyue Kingdom also wanted to capture Feng Ziran's only son, Shi Yan, firstly to eradicate the roots, and secondly to boost the morale of the army, destroy the prestige of Xihua Kingdom, and hit the morale here.

It can be said that there are several generations of blood feud between the two sides, Cheng Lixue dare not think about what kind of inhuman treatment he will suffer if Shi Yan really falls into the hands of Xiyue people.

At this time, in the Prince's East Palace, the Prince was spinning around in the study anxiously, as fast as double speed, his brows were tightly frowned, and the thumb on his right hand was cracked by him.

The tone was angry: "Didn't you say that everything is under control? You have set up a net and waited for them to be caught, so that you can catch them all in one go. How could you lose them?!"

As he spoke, he couldn't hold back and smashed the fifth teacup.

The subordinate said: Yes, we have spent several months setting up a net and waiting for him to be caught. Everything is going well, but you insist on making it unnecessary for someone to disclose the news of General Feng's only son to the other party, so that the other party will take the child. To be taken away, come a hero to save the beauty.

Good guy, isn't it normal for the plan to change temporarily and make mistakes?

However, this subordinate's idea, which was so bold as to lose his head, only dared to flash in his heart, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "This subordinate is not good at work, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

The prince pinched his brows irritably, ever since he knew that he was staying by Shi Yan's side, the two people who were called to take care of him and were actually to monitor disappeared without a sound, he began to get annoyed with Shi Yan.

It wasn't because he was reluctant to part with the two guards, but because he felt that Shi Yan was rebellious and didn't take him seriously as the prince of a country. Although he was smart, it was too ignorant and flattering.

So he made up his mind to teach Shi Yan some lessons, let the two scouts of Xiyue Kingdom who are under his control take Shi Yan away, and Shi Yan will definitely suffer a lot in the hands of the other party.

Then his people descended from the sky when the time came to save Shi Yan from the fire and water, but he didn't believe that Shi Yan would not submit to him.

This is the same as Zhou Yuqiao's people constantly creating a difficult living environment for Zhou Yulong. After tormenting people to a certain extent, Zhou Yuqiao appeared at the right time, like a savior, and Zhou Yulong would naturally desperately grab the straw and climb up.

It can be seen how reasonable it is not to be a family, not to enter a family.

But the problem is, after two spies from Xiyue Kingdom entered Shi Yan's small courtyard, the crown prince couldn't help it.

As for the inhuman treatment that Cheng Lixue was worried about?

For Shi Yan, it didn't exist. If it wasn't for his reminder, the two spies of Xiyue Kingdom would have fallen into the net that the crown prince had set up long ago, and they would have no chance to chat with him and work hard for him. drive?
