Thinking that she would not be able to go home for a long time after arriving in the Valley of Thousand Flowers, Duan Murong couldn't help but make a request to Pei Yuan, hoping to stay in the capital for a while before setting off for the Valley of Thousand Flowers.

She wanted to spend more time with her father, Duanmuqi, and at the same time, she wanted to see some annoying guy.

not to mention--

"Doctor Pei, hasn't the time you agreed with the King of Medicine to go back to the valley long ago? Since that's the case, it's too late for a day, and it's too much for a month. You might as well stay in Kyoto for a while, so that you can still see the scenery in Kyoto." Scenery." Duanmu Rong tilted her head, smiled calmly at Pei Yuan, and after she finished speaking, she still felt that her words were very reasonable, so she nodded to herself, "We just caught up with the good times, Doctor Pei, why don't you stay for a while, and go to see the No. [-] Scholar Parade tomorrow?"

Pei Yuan: "..."

Under the earnest gaze of the unreasonable and strong Duanmu Rong, Pei Yuan nodded helplessly, agreeing to her request to stay in the capital for a longer period of time.

"Yo hoo!" With a cheer, Duanmu Rong reached out and hugged Pei Yuan's waist, and before the other party reached out to mess up her hair, Duanmu Rong took the lead to take a step back and let her go, "I knew you would do this a long time ago. I'm ready." Sticking out her tongue at Pei Yuan, Duanmurong turned her head and ran to the yard where her father Duanmuqi was.

While running outside, Duanmu Rong raised her voice and said, "Father! Father! I can stay with you for a while longer, are you surprised?"

Pei Yuan, who stayed where he was, couldn't help laughing at Duanmu Rong's figure running out.

Sitting on the tree, Tang Qi glanced at Pei Yuan, then landed lightly, and followed Duanmu Rong.

For the sake of Yihua Palace's face and money, even if Duanmu Rong returned to Duanmu Mansion where nothing would happen, Tang Qi would still do his best to protect Duanmu Rong.

Pei Yuan, who was glanced at by Tang Qi before leaving: "..." If he read correctly, Tang Qi just disliked him... right?

Pressing his temple, standing in the courtyard where he was the only one left, Pei Yuan smiled and shook his head.

...

At the suggestion of Duanmu Rong, Pei Yuan took the "Kyoto Tour Route Map" drawn by her, and accompanied by ruthless company, went to see the "No. [-] Scholar Parade" and enjoy the scenery of Kyoto. The Taiping Palace.

Dutiful Tang Qi did not go out with Pei Yuan, but followed Duanmu Rong.

Seeing King Taiping, Duanmu Rong obediently greeted the other party and got a piece of jade pendant that the other party took from his body.

Turning his head to look at Duanmu Qi, Duanmu Rong then took the jade pendant, "Thank you, my lord."

"kindness?"

"Uncle." Duanmu Rong changed his words decisively.

"That's right." He showed a kind smile to Duanmurong, and King Taiping glanced at the housekeeper, and then said to Duanmurong, "A Rong, go and see Zhao Youheng." .Although he didn’t say anything, I know that kid really wants to see you.” After a pause, he thought of Zhao Youheng who had become more and more silent recently, and King Taiping, who didn’t know what the other party was up to, had a headache. He hoped that Duanmu Rong’s Arrival can bring some changes to Zhao Youheng.But he didn't say this, but after a pause, he pursed his lips and smiled at Duanmu Rong, then raised his eyes to look at Duanmuqi, "Your father and I still have something to talk about, you stay here later Can you eat here with me?"

Thinking about the recent events in the court, under the gaze of King Taiping, Duanmuqi stroked his beard, and after a moment of silence, he nodded lightly to King Taiping and agreed to his request.

"...Then I won't bother you."

Tilting her head left and right, she glanced at Duanmuqi and King Taiping. As a child, Duanmurong was very conscious that she was not going to meddle in the affairs of adults. She obediently responded, and then went out under the guidance of the housekeeper, following in silence all the time. Tang Qi who was beside her also stepped up and followed.

When he stepped out the door, relying on his keen ears, Tang Qi inadvertently heard a few words of the conversation between King Taiping and Duanmuqi.

"Gao Lishi ① wants to intervene in the establishment of the 'Tiance Army'. Brother Huang has been a little shaken by this recently. What does Master Zhuge think?"

"Worthy of being Gao Lishi, he wants power without risking his life. Isn't a 'Shence Army' enough for him?"

"Instead of knowing what Zhuge Zhengwo thinks from me, you might as well think about what Cai Jing will think about it... Now, he is more anxious than us."

"I only hope that the 'Tiance Army' can be successfully established, and the current 'Sense Strategy Army'..."

"...Oh, it's really not as good as every year."

"Who knows..."

Tang Qi frowned, and subconsciously slowed down, wanting to hear more.

It's a pity that Duanmu Rong turned her head to look at him under the reminder of the housekeeper, with a puzzled face, "Hey? Tang Qi, are you not leaving?"

Duanmu Rong, who didn't know martial arts and didn't hear anything, looked puzzled, but when the housekeeper of the palace beside her looked at Tang Qi, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Duanmu Rong's voice was so crisp that even Duanmu Qi and King Taiping in the room heard her voice. The two people in the room stopped talking and looked at each other.

Duanmuqi: Just now, you didn't say anything you shouldn't have said, did you?

King Taiping: No, it doesn't matter if someone hears it, these are obvious things.

Duanmuqi: That's good.

——He didn't have to think about whether to attack Tang Qi.

Duanmu Qi and King Taiping inside the house stopped talking, while Duanmu Rong outside the house looked at Tang Qi who had stopped walking suspiciously.

"Tang Qi, what's wrong?"

Realizing what he had just done, ignoring the scrutiny of the steward of the palace, Tang Qi, whose face remained unchanged, nodded lightly to Duanmu Rong, who knew nothing, and even spoke to her very rarely. words, "Go."

Duanmu Rong subconsciously tilted her head, and when she realized that Tang Qi had really spoken to her, she couldn't help exclaiming, "Hey, hey?! Tang Qi actually talked to me? The sun came out from the west today Did it?" As she said that, Duanmu Rong subconsciously looked up at the sky, wondering if the sun rose in the wrong direction today.

Tang Qi: "..."

Under Tang Qi's silent gaze, Duanmu Rong, who was full of surprise, even went back to Tang Qi on purpose. She raised her head and looked him up and down, "Unexpectedly, I finally When you talked to me, even though it was just a single word, I still felt very happy." Duanmu Rong held his face and smiled at Tang Qi with crooked eyebrows.

Tang Qi: "..." Feeling helpless, he poked his finger on Duanmu Rong's forehead expressionlessly, "Let's go?"

"Let's go!"

Responding cheerfully, Duanmu Rong pulled Tang Qi's sleeve and walked out.

Pulling Tang Qi's sleeve, Duanmu Rong walked forward while trying to get Tang Qi to talk to her again, but unfortunately, except for the few words just said, Tang Qi returned to the original silence facing Duanmu Rong.No matter how hard she racked her brains, what responded to her was Tang Qi's initial silence.

Tang Qi's strange behavior just now seemed to be ignored under the interruption of Duanmu Rong who was completely unaware.

The steward of the royal residence who was leading the way for Duanmu Rong glanced at Tang Qi lightly, and looked past Duanmu Rong from the corner of his eye, temporarily suppressing his doubts about Tang Qi.Instead, he smiled and told Duan Murong about the recent state of his eldest son Zhao Youheng, and conveyed to her what King Taiping wanted Duan Murong to do, but he didn't speak directly to her.

"Maybe it's because of the former concubine's affairs. The son has not been in a good mood recently, and there have been some misunderstandings with the prince." Recalling the state of the son Zhao Youheng in recent months, the steward of the palace could not help but sigh. "My lord is very worried about my son, but I don't know how to communicate with him. Our servants are also very worried. If possible, I hope that Miss Duanmu can persuade my son."

Blinking, thinking of Zhao Youheng's appearance like a homeless stray dog ​​one day, Duanmurong, who thought of something, drooped his eyelashes slightly, but smiled and nodded to the housekeeper, "I will do my best." for."

She would not casually meddle in the affairs between Zhao Youheng and King Taiping, but if Zhao Youheng dared to give up on himself, then she would definitely wake him up.

——For the sake of Zhao Youheng being her future husband.

Thinking of this, Duan Murong stepped into Zhao Youheng's yard.

Stepping through the door, there was no one in sight. The courtyard was so quiet that it didn't look like the treatment a royal family should have. There were even overgrown grass beside the courtyard wall.

Duanmu Rong's eyes just swept across the courtyard wall, and before she could ask, the steward of the palace on the side first bowed and explained to her, "Your Majesty doesn't like crowds, and the weeds on the courtyard wall are also requested by you, saying it is—— "

"It's delightful to watch the grass grow freely and abundantly."

Duanmu Rong: "..." Didn't she go to Hangzhou for a while, why did Zhao Youheng change his style?

Back then, Zhao Youheng, who seemed to be ready to fight wherever he went, seemed to have died with the death of his mother and concubine.

She couldn't help sighing, looking at the grass beside the courtyard wall that was blown down by the wind, Duanmu Rong pressed her temples, "...All right." Turning her head to look at Tang Qi, "Tang Qi, you Wait for me outside, okay?"

Tang Qi nodded, then jumped onto the top of the wall, and sat on the top of the wall like that, explaining with actions—waiting for her outside.

Glancing at Tang Qi who was sitting on the wall, Duanmu Rong nodded to the steward of the palace, and then walked inside.

After watching Duanmu Rong's figure disappear from sight, the steward of the palace walked to the wall, smiled and chatted with Tang Qi who was sitting on the wall, "Young master, we have a room specially prepared for guests in our house. Can you, sir?" Walk with me to the other side, have tea and wait for Miss Duanmu."

Sitting cross-legged on the wall, Tang Qi put his hands on his knees casually. When the steward of the palace invited him, he shook his head lightly, "No need." With a flip of his wrist, the blood-melting dart fell into his hand.

Tang Qi lowered his eyes and played with the blood-transforming dart in his hand, without even looking at the butler of the palace under the wall.

His eyes swept over the blood-transforming dart in Tang Qi's hand, and the butler of the palace felt relieved when he recognized his identity from this blood-transforming dart—it turned out to be a disciple of Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect in Central Shu has its own rules.

The Tang Sect, who always talk about credibility, will not disclose the situation of the employer at will, and a Tang Sect disciple will only take on one task at a time. Since Tang Qi has accepted the task of protecting Duanmu Rong, it is not someone who sent him to Taiping Palace spies.

Recognizing Tang Qi's identity, the steward of the palace put away his thoughts of probing him, but because of Tang Qi's initial misleading behavior, he still reminded Tang Qi, "There are many agencies and guards in the mansion. The honored guests should not wander around, so as not to accidentally injure them."

Tang Qi paused his hand playing with the blood-transforming dart. He raised his eyes to look at the butler of the palace under the wall, nodded his head lightly, and said bluntly, "Don't worry, I have no intention of spying on your palace."

"My dear guest, I was joking."

The smile on his face remained unchanged, and the butler of the palace bowed to Tang Qi, and then left the courtyard.

...

On the other side, Duan Murong, who entered Zhao Youheng's room, twitched the corners of his mouth in shock at the simple furnishings in the room.

In her impression, Zhao Youheng is a hugger, the color of the clothes on his body is so bright that people can always see him at first sight, and even the decorations in the house are so luxurious that people dare not touch him Hate guy.

When did it become so simple?

No, it can't be said to be simple, it can only be said to have changed the style of painting. After all, although these decorations are simple and clean, any one of them is something that others can't reach.

Turning around the screen with the picture of pine trees and cranes, Duan Murong saw Zhao Youheng.

Zhao You, dressed in white, sat cross-legged in front of the window, wiping the two knives on his lap with a handkerchief.When Duanmu Rong came in, he raised his head when he heard her footsteps.

The moment he saw Duan Murong, Zhao Youhe swallowed back the word "retire" that he was about to say, and he lightly raised his lower lip to Duan Murong, showing a shallow smile.

Duanmu Rong: "..." Is Zhao Youheng going to develop in the direction of a cool and noble son?

Kind of scary.

Although she somewhat despises Zhao Youheng who is not afraid of anything, but helpless in the face of her crying, but she despises the present Zhao Youheng even more.

I always feel that the other party seems to be completely... pregnant.

Duan Murong stared at Zhao Youheng, his eyes gradually became complicated.

Zhao Youheng, who was stared at by her, looked unaware, the sunlight from outside the window came in, and Zhao Youheng, who happened to be at the intersection of light and shadow, was blurred by the light.

Zhao You's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he just quietly looked at the pair of sabers on his knees.

"This is my mother's concubine's weapon, the waning moon shakes the sky ②"
