Perseverance

Seven days have passed since the confrontation between He Yihang and Jiang Xueyuan!Everything in Kaifeng Mansion is as usual, everyone should eat and drink, the elderly and children are in harmony!Except for two people...

"Yue'er, the emperor is hosting a banquet for the ministers today, shall we go together?" Gongsun paddled his feet in the courtyard and shouted to the people on the roof.Zhao Pu was sitting on the stone table beside him, drinking tea with raised eyebrows, is this sister still very stubborn~~

Since that day, Lou Xinyue has often run to the roof. There are always people in this courtyard, which is lively and lively, but Lou Xinyue feels that she can't get into this atmosphere, so going up to the roof to watch everyone's bustle is the only thing she can do. thing.Looking at other people's happiness and happiness is like experiencing it myself... Let go of your hand, and in your hand is the black jade hairpin that you are holding slightly... On that day, I threw it under the bed in a fit of anger, but later, for some reason, it still Unexpectedly, he moved the bed away and carefully found it. Fortunately, there was a brocade box to fix it, and the jade was not broken.

"Why do you say you are so impulsive? She is a girl anyway, and there are a lot of maids and servants in the house. If it gets out, you all don't look good. Childish." Lou Xinyue sighed, looked up at the dark sky, and The hairpin was put into a small box and received in his arms.He jumped down from the roof and landed in front of Gongsun.

"Yue'er, shall we go together!" Gongsun stretched out his hand to pull her.

"Okay, let's go together. But, brother, you have to let me take a bath and change clothes. I have a day of training today, you smell it, it smells like sweat." Lou Xinyue said, she wanted to roll up her sleeves for Gongsun to hear .Gongsun pushed her into the room and muttered, "You are a girl, how can you say such things, go and wash quickly. We are waiting for you."

Lou Xinyue suppressed a smile and turned her head, "Brother, Xiaoyu's water hasn't been brought to me yet..."

Gongsun gritted his teeth, "Hey, you little bastard, I learned you badly!"

Lou Xinyue quickly slipped into the room, opened a gap to look at him, "Brother, you guys go first. It's just a good seat."

Gongsun nodded, "Okay, hurry up."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhao Pu to enter the palace...

"Kiss, why are we going so early? Are you really going to take a seat?"

Gongsun looked back at Zhao Pu, serious, "That's right! Take a good seat and get closer to your nephew, congratulations to my mother-in-law." After speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled very nicely.Zhao Pu's heart twitched, he hugged him, turned around and went back to his room, it's still early, do some exercise and eat more later!

So, after Lou Xinyue had been sitting at the banquet in the imperial garden for a long time... only then did she see Zhao Pu, who was full of spring, walk in with the help of Gongsun with a dark face, and sat down at the table beside her... Following Zhao Pu After entering, several of his lieutenants in Beijing also took their seats.

He Yihang and Ouyang sat on the right side of Lou Xinyue. He Yihang originally wanted to be closer to Lou Xinyue, but who knew that Ouyang sat down first... This is the emperor's place. Impulsive, sat down with the robe lifted.

Today, it was a feast for the ministers, so according to civil and military, they sat down on both sides. On the military commander's side, there were mainly several generals of the Zhao family army and several veterans who had retired before Zhao Pu.Lou Xinyue is the head coach, but because the women's army is not fully developed yet, there are no other lieutenants, so Lou Xinyue sat at a table by herself, which made her feel embarrassed.But fortunately, after sitting for a while, Xiao Liangzi brought the fourth son over. The two of them were also half-grown children, and they couldn't sit at the same table with Zhao Pu, so they simply sat on the left hand side of Lou Xinyue. It is very happy to be able to talk to Daddy and play with Sister Yueer.

Zhao Zhen knew everything about the Kaifeng Mansion clearly. Seeing that Lou Xinyue looked tired and unhappy, he couldn't help but glared at He Yihang... He Yihang lowered his head in depression, well, the emperor helped settle the score .

Gongsun covered his waist and eyes with one hand, and poked the fish on the table absent-mindedly with a pair of chopsticks in the other... He stared at Zhao Zhen, tsk tsk, the emperor's eyes are very sharp~~~

Ouyang is more likely to come here alone, he has long heard that his mother-in-law and brothers like this Lou girl... I just thought, help me! □□, just squeeze and there will be; feelings will be deep after being excited~~~ Hehe!

"Old He, why do I think your fish tastes better! Come on, give me a taste!" He Yihang curled his lips and pushed his plate to him, "Eat it."

Ouyang bumped him with his arm, "Brother, my chopsticks take up the taste of my bad fish, use your chopsticks."

He Yihang glanced at him, what about this state banquet?But hand him the chopsticks anyway.Ouyang didn't raise his head, and continued to choose the beef in front of him to eat, and said while eating and drinking, "Hey! No time!"

He Yihang didn't think much about it, he just thought he had never seen the world, and when he came across something to eat, he would reveal his true colors... He took a piece of fish with no spines in his chopsticks and brought it to his mouth. Chew it, swallow it, rub it, and He Yihang admired it, "Sure enough, yours tastes better!"

In the military camp on weekdays, Ouyang is also out of shape, he just opens his mouth to ask for food from the people around him, and even asks to be fed, everyone is used to it.However, Zhao Jiajun brothers are used to it, but the officials are not used to it...

The civil servants who were facing each other gasped... Oh, there have long been rumors that He Yihang, the deputy general of the Zhao family army, has a delicate relationship with the pioneer Ouyang Shaozheng. From this point of view, it is true... Tsk tsk, so close, regardless of the eyes of the world, This courage is really commendable!Pang Ji glanced at Bao Zheng, Bao Heizi, what's going on?Bao Zheng stroked his beard calmly. In the world of young people, don't worry about it, you fat man... An angry Pang Ji blew his beard and stared at the side!

Lou Xinyue was not used to it either, she glanced lightly at the red-haired head beside her...it was unnecessary.

He Yihang saw the people around him look at him with some inquisitive eyes, finally came to his senses, cast a cold glance at Ouyang Shaozheng, reached out his hand under the table and twisted his thigh severely.Ouyang shuddered in pain... turned to look at He Yihang sadly, brother, I'll help you, why are you dragging me?

He Yihang snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to him, such a small trick, not on the stage.

A dinner ended in the eyes of all the ministers concerned about He Yihang... Ouyang Xianfeng looks so strong, don't all the ministers care about whether Vice Marshal He can eat or not~~

He Yihang's teeth were itchy, but he couldn't explain in front of everyone that he liked Lou Xinyue... So he could only pretend to be calm and keep his ears shut~~

After the meal was over, all the officials left one after another, and Zhao Zhen left Lou Xinyue behind.Before He Yihang left, he glanced back, seeing Lou Xinyue and Zhao Zhen talking and laughing, he felt very uncomfortable, and vaguely remembered the loneliness of drinking alone in the cold night in the desert... He sighed inaudibly, his eyes His face was dim, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate... I am still inferior to him.

"Xinyue, how are you doing lately? Isn't it hard to train recruits?" Zhao Zhen asked softly as he sat by the desk, flipping through the memorial.

Lou Xinyue sat in the grand teacher's chair beside her, staring at Zhao Zhen's figure under the lights...Zhao Zhen waited for a long time, but didn't hear Lou Xinyue's answer. When she looked up, she saw Lou Xinyue staring at herself, There is some light and shadow instigating in the eyes...

"What? Is there something dirty on my face?" Zhao Zhen's eyes were soft, and the corner of his mouth was raised with a slight smile.

Lou Xinyue also laughed, "There are no dirty things, only a happy face." After a pause, she continued, "Is Concubine Pang having a second child? How is your health? My brother has been busy with the shantang recently, so I finally got free today. What happened just now?" Don't leave him?"

"Mr. Gongsun is the number one genius doctor in the world, let him do some things to benefit the common people. It's almost enough to have an imperial doctor in the palace." Zhao Zhen looked at Lou Xinyue's silhouette, feeling helpless, you, you always Thinking of others first, and not of yourself.

"Well, that's good. By the way, I eliminated some of this group of female soldiers. Jiao Didi has a big temper and is not suitable for marching and fighting. Some officials in the court are afraid that there will be criticism, so you take care of it."

"You are the coach, just choose people to lead the army, and ignore the rest." Zhao Zhen knew that Lou Xinyue was talking about eliminating a group of descendants of officials who had directly entered the training camp.Those girls came from famous families, clamoring to enter the barracks just to have fun... How could they suffer such hardships? Lou Xinyue eliminated them, and delayed the business.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Xueyuan is the best in the female army, Lan Yan is the most cunning, and Hua Yimei, the former leader of the bandit gang, is the most powerful. I want them to be the deputy commander, military adviser, and vanguard." Lou Xinyue stood up and turned to her. Zhao Zhen please seal it.

Zhao Zhen waved her to sit down, "You are responsible for all affairs in the military, you don't need to report to me, I believe you. In this way, I will give you three imperial edicts, and you can write them yourself."

Lou Xinyue smiled and Xie En sat back.

"However, Xinyue, is this Jiang Xueyuan going to be appointed general later?" It is not without reason that Zhao Zhen made this suggestion. There are indeed rumors in Kaifeng Mansion that Lou Xinyue and Jiang Xueyuan are a couple, although it is true It's unbelievable, but if you think about it from another perspective, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and Zhao Pu's grandson are all married... Well, since men can be with men, so can women.It's not that Zhao Zhen can't accept it, but he knows that he doesn't want such rumors that are unfavorable to Lou Xinyue to worsen... So, he hopes that Lou Xinyue can keep a little distance from Jiang Xueyuan.

Lou Xinyue looked up at him, a little helpless. "Your Majesty, the rumors are unbelievable."

"I know you can't believe the rumors, but...you just think about He Yihang..." As soon as Zhao Zhen said that, he regretted a little, what was he doing, pushing his beloved to another man?

Lou Xinyue was taken aback, He Yihang...

ah!Could it be that he was so angry because of this matter?No way……

Seeing Lou Xinyue's expression, Zhao Zhen thought she was angry, so he hesitated and said, "Uh...I..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Lou Xinyue standing up and bowing his hands, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing important, The minister will leave first." The words stuck in his throat could not continue, Zhao Zhen nodded, "Okay, you should go back earlier."

Looking at the figure of Lou Xinyue leaving, Zhao Zhen sighed, alas, even if I want to keep you to chat with me, I can't keep you...

The section of Kaifengfu Street that came out from the palace gate was quiet. Lou Xinyue walked alone on the bluestone floor, feeling the unique summer night wind blowing on her face, listening to the chirping of insects on the roads and trees on both sides. Son, looking at the dark blue night sky and the moon and stars dotted in it... A kind of quiet feeling is born from the heart... It makes people feel very comfortable and comfortable~~The stars here are as many and as bright as those on Tianwai Island~~

Slowly, after entering the night market, it becomes lively!The nights in Kaifeng Mansion are always lively, there will be many small vendors selling all kinds of gadgets here... Food, drink, and entertainment abound, and there are also jugglers, singers, and rings~~Adults In his spare time, he would take his children to the streets to make fun of it, and on weekdays, the fourth son would pester him to bring him to play.Recently, I have been busy in the barracks, but I haven't been here for a while...

Lou Xinyue was thinking about it when she saw a crying child in front of her, and the woman next to her squatted down to comfort him, "Stop crying baby, shall we go eat fish balls?" The baby cried louder, Shaking his head again and again...

"Sister, what's wrong with your baby?" Lou Xinyue squatted beside the mother and child, and gave the child a bunch of candied haws that she just bought.

This woman brought her son to Beijing to visit relatives. She had no time to take her son to the night market to play. Unexpectedly, when the child saw a game with a trap, he took the money and set it up many times, wanting that The general model, however, just doesn't work.Although there is no shortage of money, you can't let the children waste money.After the woman explained the reason, she pointed it out to Lou Xinyue... After Lou Xinyue saw it, she smiled and patted the child's head, "Little friend, do you like General Zhao Pu?"

The small face was full of determination, "Well, Dad said that General Zhao Pu is the most powerful person, and I want to be like him when I grow up!"

"Well, I'm ambitious! How about my sister helping you with that model?" Lou Xinyue patted his head and asked with a smile.

"Okay! Thank you, sister!" The little guy took out money from his pocket and put it in Lou Xinyue's hands.Lou Xinyue was quite surprised, the little thing is very sensible...

When I took the child into the crowd, I saw many people were playing.

"Dude, give me a lap." The buddy raised his head and saw that it was Lou Xinyue, with wide-eyed smiles.As for Lou Xinyue, the female general, she is very skillful, and she is good at playing hoops. Logically, the guy should not like her, but Lou Xinyue is generous. If you get the fourth son, you will give more money!Is it really a dragon and a phoenix among people!It will not only coax the children well, but also not let our small business suffer!

"Hey, Miss Yue, have you brought your fourth son to play again?" However, when he looked down, he saw that it wasn't...

"Hey! Isn't this the kid just now? Are you still playing? Mommy will spank you after you run out of money!" Seeing that it was the kid who wanted to make a model of Zhao Pu just now, the clerk teased him.

The child pouted and opened his mouth, ignoring him!

Lou Xinyue took the ring handed by the waiter, "Kid, take care! Sister will help you win General Zhao Pu back!" The child's eyes twinkled, full of anticipation!

Lou Xinyue made a move, how could it fail~~

"Sister is awesome!" The child jumped up and down holding the model that was about the same age as him!The mother next to me was also happy, thanking her repeatedly...

"Don't thank me, let's go home, it's late, the child should rest." Lou Xinyue grabbed the excited child and pushed it to his mother, "Be good, child, go home and sleep."

The little girl nodded, hugged Lou Xinyue's face and kissed her, and she was satisfied and took her mother home~~

Lou Xinyue got up, walked in front of the clerk, and was about to hand out money to someone... A pair of hands stretched out from her side, and a familiar voice came, "Boy, take it."

Lou Xinyue turned her head, and saw the corner of the man's mouth slightly raised, with a warm and gentle smile on his face... But, it seemed a little shy...
