探问
The old minister would like to ask... His Majesty, he...
Xie Yuanshi originally thought that it was inappropriate for him to live in the Yangju Hall, but after Mr. Zhong's experience, he lived in the Yangju Hall with peace of mind for a few days, and after getting used to it, he gradually lost his psychological burden.
It seems that it is no big deal for him to live in Yangju Palace, eh.
Shen Yuzhu was writing memorials every day, and he was reading idle books beside him. Ever since General Meng and Miss Hua got married, the love story between the two of them was the most talked about in the capital.
What Xie Yuanshi had in hand was a storybook based on them. It told the story of a bold and extroverted official lady and a young and promising general. From enemies to enemies, feelings gradually developed in getting along with each other, resolved misunderstandings, and finally tied the knot. .
Except for the different names, the other obvious things can't be more obvious.
Xie Yuanshi watched it with relish.
In addition to this book in his hand, there is also a stack of half-arm-high story books in his hand, which are all stories that Liu Xi collected outside the palace and are said to be based on these two people.
I heard that General Meng Xiao himself also went to the street to pack and buy a stack of books to take home. Since that day, there have been more and more similar books on the market.
Although they don't know what's going on between the two of them, they can read and imagine in the book, who doesn't like sweet love stories.
Shen Yuzhu finished approving today's playbook, and approached, Xie Yuanshi moved his back to make room for Shen Yuzhu, so that the two could lean side by side.
The open book was naturally placed between the two of them, "Look here."
Xie Yuanshi smiled and pointed out to him that the little general climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and was smashed down by the official lady with a cherry.
Shen Yuzhu: "Huh? Why did the little general climb over the wall in the middle of the night?"
Xie Yuanshi said: "The two of them are already in love with each other. During the day, the little general and the lady quarreled and quarreled. He offended the lady. At night, he tossed and turned, couldn't sleep, and sneaked over to apologize."
"Miss is still angry?" Shen Yuzhu said, "Then his apology was not sincere enough?"
Xie Yuanshi "poof" laughed, "That's right, but it's not all because of this."
Shen Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, why was that?
"Although the two like each other, they both have awkward personalities. The little general came to apologize, but he didn't pay attention to what he said and offended the lady again."
"He didn't know the real reason why the lady was angry. At the banquet during the day, the little general was talking to another girl. He didn't notice the lady passing behind him, and accidentally bumped into her, causing the wine in her wine glass to spill on her skirt."
"The little general thought that the lady was angry because he made her look ugly."
Shen Yuzhu guessed: "But the miss is actually jealous?"
Xie Yuanshi was surprised: "How do you know?"
Shen Yuzhu said: "You said earlier that the two of them have fallen in love with each other."
Admiration but did not show it, so jealousy can only be secretly, and there is no way to tell the real reason when angry.
Shen Yuzhu is very experienced.
Xie Yuanshi nodded, "Miss heard that girl in private before saying that she likes the little general, but the little general didn't know, talking to that girl was also a polite response."
Shen Yuzhu: "Because he didn't find the right direction, so although he came to apologize, it didn't work."
"En." Xie Yuanshi lowered his head and continued to look.
After a while, Shen Yuzhu said: "But Miss should also be happy in her heart."
Xie Yuanshi: "Why?"
"Because the sweetheart is willing to apologize to make her happy when she is angry."
It made sense, Xie Yuanshi rummaged through a stack of scriptures next to him: "I just read one, and there is a similar plot in it, but it's not because of jealousy."
"Apologize in the middle of the night?"
Xie Yuanshi gave a "hmm" and said, "I found it."
"This is also climbing up the wall in the middle of the night, because there was a disagreement and quarrel during the day, and then—"
Shen Yuzhu suddenly said: "Climbing the wall in the middle of the night is not advisable."
Xie Yuanshi: "..."
Well, you are right.
Xie Yuanshi closed the book, thought for a while, and asked him: "What do you think two people who like each other will do after they quarrel over some things?"
Shen Yuzhu: "What do you think?"
Xie Yuanshi was a little dazed: "I don't know." He didn't seem to have quarreled with the person he likes.
Shen Yuzhu: "If the two of us quarrel, what will you do?"
Xie Yuanshi shook his head: "We don't seem to have quarreled before."
"Are you particularly mad at me for something?"
Xie Yuanshi thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly: "Last time, you insisted on reading a small story book to me?"
Shen Yuzhu: "..."
"This doesn't count." This was a joke at best, and they didn't start arguing.
Xie Yuanshi also felt that it couldn't be counted, and continued to think about the time when Shen Yuzhu was angry with him.
"I was entrusted by elder Ge to enter the palace to persuade you to become a queen?"
Shen Yuzhu: "I'm not angry."
Xie Yuanshi thought all the way before Shen Yuzhu ascended the throne: "I accidentally dropped your sapphire flute, and you have been sulking all day."
Before Shen Yuzhu could deny it, Xie Yuanshi had already continued by himself: "But at that time, I forgot the homework assigned to me by my father, and I was fined by him to copy the article. You spent a whole day copying the book with me in the room, so you can't be considered very angry... …Bar."
Shen Yuzhu felt a little distressed when the jade flute broke, but he was not very angry, "Uncle Wang wants you to hand over the copied article to him the next day. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish writing during the day and turn on the lamp at night, so you won't be able to rest early, so I just kept writing with my head depressed, and I'm not angry with you."
Xie Yuanshi felt the same way.
"Have we ever quarreled?" Xie Yuanshi thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Shen Yuzhu paused, as if she really couldn't think of it.
Shen Yuzhu simply assumed for him: "If...if tomorrow I plan to personally lead troops to attack Western Wu."
"Ah..." Xie Yuanshi said slowly: "Western Wu is ambitious, so it is a good strategy to take the initiative to attack. Daqi is well-prepared and has no worries about warehouses. He can fight, but the generals of Daqi are available, so you don't have to go into battle yourself."
Shen Yuzhu: "..."
Shen Yuzhu continued to hypothesize: "Why do I want to fight in person?"
Xie Yuanshi: "Then I can go with you, there are Old Madam Fu and the others in Beijing, the overall situation will be fine."
Shen Yuzhu: "If you don't want to go with me, you were seriously injured before you left—"
Xie Yuanshi covered his mouth, and pressed his head to the other side forcefully, conveying his dissatisfaction: "Just assume well, don't say such things indiscriminately."
"Then I'll change one." Shen Yuzhu said: "If I listen to the villain's slander tomorrow, I will kill Elder Song Ge."
Xie Yuanshi: "..." Song Ge recruited you!
Xie Yuanshi asked quietly: "Do you have any objections to Mr. Song Ge because he always persuades you to become a queen?"
Shen Yuzhu: "I didn't..."
"In fact, Elder Song Ge only cared about you. The first emperor was like that in his later years. At the beginning, no one in the harem was happy, but after a long time, they would also worry about whether their previous happiness put pressure on you. As a result, there is no one around you."
"Even if Mr. Song Ge gave you someone to give away, most of them are girls with both ability and political integrity. Their family background is clean and upright, so you don't have to worry about your relatives. In fact, he doesn't have much selfishness."
Shen Yuzhu: "..." He knew all of these, he really just gave an example.
"I have no objection to Elder Ge." Shen Yuzhu was afraid that he would not believe him, so he changed someone, "In this case, change to Zhang Yushi."
Is that all right?
Xie Yuanshi looked hesitant, Shen Yuzhu seemed to have a feeling, and he really heard him say: "It is true that Zhang Yushi always tells you because of my affairs..."
"Okay, okay, I won't chop anyone up." Shen Yuzhu stopped, and he was afraid that Xie Yuanshi would say that he would have an opinion on him.
Xie Yuanshi spread his hands helplessly: "I wanted to ask you what to do if you quarreled, but I didn't ask how you quarreled."
"That's easy." Shen Yuzhu's solution was simple and rude, "I will be responsible for apologizing to you if there is a quarrel, and you will be responsible for me."
Xie Yuanshi laughed along with him, suddenly he didn't understand why the two of them were discussing this useless topic here.
"Did you write the little story you promised me last time?" he asked.
Shen Yuzhu didn't write it. He didn't have any inspiration at the beginning, and it has been shelved until now.
"Not yet," he said.
It happened that they were guarding the desk, Xie Yuanshi's foot was injured and he couldn't move, so he could only push Shen Yuzhu in the direction of the desk, "It happens to be free, write quickly."
Just write it?
"But I haven't figured out what to write yet."
Xie Yuanshi designated a theme for him: "Otherwise, you also write one based on General Meng and Mrs. Meng Shao?"
Shen Yuzhu pointed to the pile of notebooks next to him: "Aren't they all there?"
Still writing?
"Can what you write be the same as what they wrote?"
"Uh..." Shen Yuzhu picked up the pen.
Zhang Yushi has always dreamed of the emperor in his dreams these days, and during the day, his wife asked him if there was any major event in his court recently, which made him worry day and night, saying that he was always talking about the emperor when he slept and dreamed.
Zhang Yushi could only respond vaguely, as for what he was worried about, he dared not tell his wife the truth.
After tossing and turning like this for a week, he finally couldn't take it anymore.
Shen Yuzhu was discussing matters with several courtiers in the Hall of Martial Ying. After finishing what Zhang Yushi had said, the others were still waiting.Zhang Yushi told the emperor that he would also visit the King of Qin, Shen Yuzhu didn't think much about it, and while reading the courtier's report, he ordered the palace staff to lead Zhang Yushi to visit the King of Qin.
At the entrance of Yangju Hall, Zhang Yushi took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
His Royal Highness Qin Wang and the emperor are so familiar, they grew up together, if the emperor is really what he thinks, Qin Wang must know.
So he only needs to ask His Royal Highness Qin Wang, and he will know!
In the Yangju Palace, one of Xie Yuanshi's feet was propped up. His foot injury is not as serious as it was at the beginning. In fact, he doesn't need to be propped up all the time, but it is still not suitable for activities.
"Master Yushi is here?" Xie Yuanshi greeted him.
Zhang Yushi stepped into the Yangju Hall with one foot, was stunned, and then backed out without saying a word.
Xie Yuanshi: "?"
Zhang Yushi took a few steps back at the entrance of the hall, and looked up to confirm the three big characters written in front of the hall - "Yangju Hall".
It was the first time for King Qin to visit after his foot injury. He didn't know before that the emperor had arranged for King Qin to live directly in the Yangju Hall.
Ugh……
Although he knew that the emperor and the king of Qin had a good relationship, and it was convenient for the emperor to take care of the king of Qin, there was nothing wrong with it, but there was no queen in the palace, which still made Zhang Yushi feel a little bit melancholy.
When will the emperor get a wife?
Zhang Yushi approached the hall again, faced Xie Yuanshi's puzzled look, and explained: "Just now I was confused and thought I went to the wrong place, Your Highness forgive me."
When he said that, Xie Yuanshi remembered the issue of him living in the Yangju Hall again. Even though he didn't care so much now, he still felt a little guilty when it was mentioned.
"Yes, I shouldn't have lived here."
Zhang Yushi saw that he had misunderstood, and said again and again: "No, no, Your Highness, don't think too much, the old minister didn't mean to criticize His Highness. Although I was a little surprised just now, it was only because I didn't think about it before, and the emperor was thoughtful. It is most suitable for Your Highness to live here."
"The most important thing is that Your Highness can recover from his injuries with peace of mind." After explaining, Zhang Yushi became concerned about Xie Yuanshi's injury, "Is your Highness's foot injury better?"
Xie Yuanshi said: "It's much better. I couldn't move a few days ago, but now I can barely walk a few steps."
Zhang Yushi: "The old minister has also been sprained before. The doctor said that the recovery will be slow and easy to repeat if he tries to walk. Your Highness should try to walk as little as possible before he recovers."
Xie Yuanshi accepted Zhang Yushi's kindness and nodded: "I will pay attention."
Zhang Yushi exchanged pleasantries with Xie Yuanshi for a while, Xie Yuanshi saw that he hesitated to speak many times on his face, so he took the initiative to ask: "Master Yushi, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Yushi tried his best to organize his words, trying to make himself as tactful as possible, but this topic was doomed for him to stumble: "Your Highness, I want to ask... I want to ask... Your Majesty..."
