Chapter 20

It is rumored that the Prime Minister of Zuo, Shi Ai'er, has served the emperor in the palace for many years, and used witchcraft to fight for favor. Some wooden figurines, paper money and other things used by witches were found in Changshi's house. The emperor was furious and ordered the nine clans to be imprisoned.There were rumors before that Prime Minister You's eldest son, Wuyi, married the youngest daughter of Changshi. After careful investigation, it was found that there was indeed an engagement between the two families. It was just that Prime Minister You's eldest son, Wuyi, had a childhood sweetheart, and Mr. Wuyi was infatuated with her. Marrying means disobeying his father's order and retiring from the marriage.

Fuying laughed when she heard these messages in the public, "That young man without clothes is really an infatuated person. I heard that he not only married the little girl from his childhood, but also vowed not to take concubines for life." He whispered to Xiao Er who came to serve tea. .

"Why do you spread such gossip." Fengxiu looked at him and smiled, "In the future, everyone in the capital will probably say that Wuyi is an infatuated son."

Fuying smiled and drank tea, "The word has spread, and no one will propose marriage to him in the future, isn't it good? I didn't say that you officials can make so many twists and turns when you get married. Come around, what are you thinking about all day?"

"Don't bring me in, I don't have these things in my mind." Fengxiu smiled and waved his hands, "Prime Minister You seems to have taken Lei Ting's wrist more or less after this incident, and arranged for Wuyi to go into the Taixue to shelter from the wind. His head is gone." He lowered his voice and said, "In the future, it will be good for him to be an idle gentleman under Teacher Xuanjue."

"Mr. Xuanjue has been in the Taixue for so many years, and he has been sealed as the Taigong, so Wuyi is Taixue Shi Yin?" Fu Ying raised her eyebrows, "Wuyi Shi Yin, not bad."

"So it happens to be the day when Taixue's elementary school starts. Would you like to watch it with me?" Fengxiu asked with a smile.

Fu Ying nodded happily, and the two made tea money and walked through the market all the way. An acquaintance recognized Feng Xiu and nodded and said hello, "Master Tai Lecheng." Fu Ying refused to go through the door, and climbed up a dense tree in the yard along the outer wall, using the branches and leaves to cover her body, Fengxiu then came to his side, and the two of them looked inside.

"Students pay homage to Shi Yin." A group of peas knelt in the school together, standing naked with their hands behind their hands, with a smile on their lips. He was wearing a lavender gown, his long hair was tied up, and he was wearing a black scholar's bundle. Hair ring, gestures elegantly, Fu Ying praised beside him, "They are all sons of aristocratic families, Wuyi's style is really impressive."

"Why, did you like it?" Fengxiu smiled while holding his waist with one hand behind him.

"I don't like it, it's too polite." Fuying laughed lightly, and he found a firmer place to sit down, listening to the voice of Wuyi teaching the little Douding below, "The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full." , XingXiu Zhang..." Kaimeng's lessons were catchy, and Fu Ying just sat there and watched quietly. He remembered that many years ago, he was hiding outside and eavesdropping. At that time, he was watching Wuyi, Feng Xiu and Chu Wushang talked with Xuanjue for three months, and they were extremely envious.But now Fengxiu is by his side, but he is already an official in Tai Le Cheng, and Chu Wushang stays in the army, and in a blink of an eye, he is also promoted to Captain of Duqi, a gentleman without clothes, and his demeanor is just like Xuanjue back then, these few people will appear in the future Will enter the phase, also unknown, only myself...

Fengxiu didn't notice the many thoughts in Fu Ying's mind, he just watched the sun shine through the branches and leaves on the pale face, and the young man's bright red lips opened and closed to follow those immature sentences. Couldn't help but sit beside Fu Ying, half opened the folding fan in his hand to block the two of them, and leaned over to place a light kiss on Fu Ying's lips, Fu Ying was startled, turned her head suddenly, and met Shang Fengxiu's bright eyes , he blushed and complained in a low voice, "What are you doing..."

"It's nothing." Fengxiu chuckled, and the two of them just sat quietly on the tree until noon when these little Doudings were out of class, and Fu Ying looked at a few children who were still wrapped up in their clothes.

"Shi Yin, Sa'er doesn't understand here..." A child in white pushed away the people around him and leaned against Wu Yi, pointing and asking with a book.Wuyi reached out for a book and explained to him in a low voice, the door of Taixue was pushed open, Wu Wushang was wearing the black armor of a captain and a white cloak and walked in with his sword, Wuyi Seeing him coming, Yi returned the book to the child, got up and nodded to Chu Wushang with a smile.

"You must have lunch." Chu Wushang glanced at the child lying next to Wuyi, snorted coldly, reached out and took Wuyi's hand, and the two left together.

Fuying looked at the kid in white and stared at the two people leaving, and angrily threw the book she was holding in her hand on the ground hard, her stomach ached from laughing, "This brat is interesting!"

"All right, all right, don't fall, let's go, let's eat too." Fengxiu said helplessly, Fuying nodded, followed him and climbed out of the wall again.

……

After class in Taixue, Wuyi resigned from Xuanjue and went all the way back to Prime Minister You's Mansion, and went directly into the study.

"Father." He gave a salute to the person who was reading a book inside, "I saw in Taixue these days that Taigong Xuanjue still loves Prince Heng's young son very much, and I don't see anyone interacting with him. I thought he would suggest Marriage is really not malicious."

"Well." Prime Minister You stood up, "With his talents, if you don't vote for another owner, you can win over. I let you go to Taixue, one is to avoid the chaotic government at the forefront, and the other is to win over the world lord talent."

"Wuyi understands." The young man nodded.

"I heard that Wushang was promoted to Captain of Duqi in the army?" Prime Minister You asked after pondering for a moment.

"Yes." Hearing Wushang's name, Wuyi's downcast eyes moved slightly, "Father, Wushang values ​​love and righteousness. He has been nurtured by his father for many years, and he will never do anything to you." The road poses a threat."

"Don't worry, I'm the one who is ashamed of that child. If it's not a big deal, I'll admit it even if he killed me." Prime Minister You sighed. It’s not advisable to take action, you should just wait and see what happens in Taixue, government disputes can last for decades, if you find good seedlings in Taixue, you can cultivate them more. The orphan of King Heng can also be recruited.”

"Yes." Wuyi nodded.

"It's been a long time since I heard you mention Fengxiu, how is the child doing in Tai Le Cheng now?" Prime Minister You asked after thinking about it.

"I heard that he will go out to search for some ancient books by order in a few days, I think there is nothing to do in Tai Lecheng, but his temperament is happy to be idle." Wuyi replied in a low voice.

"His father, Tai Changqing, took it easy. He and the eldest son were involved in the court, so that the youngest son found a way to relax outside." Prime Minister You sneered, "I watched that child Fengxiu grow up. , I’m afraid you’re too loose, and the future won’t help you.” He waved his hand after saying this, “Go, you’re tired today, go to bed earlier.”

Wuyi nodded, thought for a while and said: "Father, I want to move to live in the Taixue in the future. Firstly, I will let outsiders watch and stay away from my father, and secondly, it will be easier to get close to the Taigong."

"Well, go as long as you want." Prime Minister You nodded and waved Wu Yi to go out.

Wuyi walked out of the study door and turned around, saw Chu Wushang standing in the courtyard with his back facing the study, silently watching the moonlight, the sky was already dark, and a bright moon was shining in the sky, "Wuyi?" Wuyi walked up to Chu Wushang looked at him silently.

"Are you finally going to get involved in these fights?" Chu Wushang looked at Mingyue and asked without looking back.

Wuyi sighed, "I know you don't like it, but what my father wants is not for himself. What he said about the eternal glory of the mountains and rivers is also my wish. When we went to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, we saw a field of spring leeks and ten miles of rice flowers. If the common people live in harmony, if this is the case in the world, these disputes between the court and China will probably end here."

"Okay." Chu Wushang nodded, "Since you said so, I will temporarily put aside these personal grievances for a period of ten years, and I would like to see how you stir up the current muddy water." He turned his head and looked Wearing no clothes, he said very seriously.

Wuyi looked into Wu Wushang's eyes, and suddenly felt that his seriousness was very cute, so he smiled and said: "Thank you, Captain Duqi, for the large number, the ten-year period is quite short, Wuyi is a scholar, I'm afraid there will be a lieutenant The adults are more helpful."

……

Fengxiu here was ordered to search for ancient books, and originally planned to take this opportunity to travel with Fuying again, but that day Fuying was making tea for him in the study and sorting out some things, when elder brother Fengxiu came in from the outside.

"Why did brother come here?" Fengxiu was taken aback, his father and brother were usually busy with court affairs and rarely at home, and today they are free.

"You all go down." Fengxiu's elder brother glanced at Fu Ying and waved his hand. Fu Ying has never been used by anyone since entering the Taichang Qing Mansion. Hearing this, he couldn't help but turn around. out.

"People in the house are talking a lot, saying that you have made friends with this child recently, so I will come and take a look." Brother Fengxiu looked at the back of Fuying going out, and said lightly, "Fengxiu, although father won't let you get involved in government affairs, But now that the turmoil is on the cusp and everyone is in danger, you must not let people spread gossip about the young prince of Taichang Qing's mansion who is not upright and keeps a male favorite."

Feng Xiu was stunned, "Brother, where did you say that?"

"You don't need to take him with you when you go out this time. Don't worry, I will let him do other things." Fengxiu's elder brother said decisively, "I don't care if you are close friends with him or if you are in love with him. Or if you've been wandering around and looking for someone to play with casually in the past few years, you should understand that the two of you have different identities. A servant from the palace, or a pariah transferred from the army, are not the people you should make friends with."

Fengxiu frowned, wondering when did his elder brother investigate Fuying so clearly, he was about to open his mouth to tell, his elder brother had already turned around, and Fuying came in later, he smiled and said to Fengxiu: " The Eldest Young Master never sees you on weekdays, but seeing him now is really scary."

"You... heard?" Fengxiu felt a little uncomfortable.

"I heard that, but you don't have to worry, since it's not good for you to go with you, I won't go." Fu Ying smiled and waved her hand, "Didn't you also say that the journey is not far, and you will be back in about ten days?" .”

"I'm sorry...I..." Fengxiu only felt that Fuying's indifferent attitude made herself even more embarrassed.

"Young Master, what you said is the truth. You have nothing to be sorry for. You are away these few days, and I just have time to study the knife I got on our way." Fu Ying still smiled nonchalantly, "Wait for you to come back , remember to bring me something delicious."

"Okay." Seeing that he really didn't care, Fengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, "If I hurry up, I'll be back in three to five days."

"Well, wait for you." Fuying smiled and continued to make the unfinished tea, and handed it to Fengxiu, "Try it, I picked it from the bamboo in your garden before dawn this morning Dew, I just brewed a cup myself, it's very sweet."

"It's really good." Fengxiu took a sip and nodded with a smile.

That day the sunset fell into Fengxiu's study, Fu Ying accompanied Fengxiu to pack up his things before getting up and coming out of his room, all the way to the place where he lived, the smile gradually disappeared from the corners of his lips, he looked at Fengxiu ordering someone The small room that was tidied up, the bed with blue cloth curtains, the half-new table, sneered and said to himself: "Fu Ying, you are really not satisfied." He closed the door and threw himself on the bed and buried himself in it. In the pillow, I didn't move for a long time.

Male pet... huh...
