Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!
Chapter 22: Eclipse
'Wife of the eunuch', this is the identity that Xiao Changning has avoided for a long time, but when she heard the familiar and unfamiliar word'husband' from Shenxuan's mouth today, she didn't have any previous dislike, as if this person was Shen. Xuan could barely accept it.
Xiao Changning was a little hot on his face, and he hurriedly lowered his head to spread paper and study ink to cover up his embarrassment at this time.
Shen Xuan used the scabbard as a paperweight, pressed the slightly-curled rice paper for her, and asked casually: "What is your Royal Highness thinking?"
Xiao Changning grinds ink with his hand. Shen Xin said again, with a little teasing: "Blushing."
Chi-the ink stick slipped out of the inkstone, leaving a black ink mark on the case table.
Looking at the crooked ink stain on the case table, Xiao Changning's heartbeat was slightly messy, and he simply patted the ink stick, slightly annoyed: "You don't talk nonsense anymore, this palace won't write."
"You must have a beginning and an end." It is rare to be shaken, but Admiral Shen didn't have a trace of anger. Instead, he picked up the ink stick and continued to study the ink. Show sincerity."
Xiao Changning immediately took the pen and asked in a low voice, "What post?"
Shen Xuan made a posture of'please', her eyes were calm and calm, "Your Majesty is free."
It was no more than a cup of tea, and Xiao Changning silently wrote an article "Get Righteous". She writes in clean and elegant running script, the spacing between the lines is as perfect as the engraving, with three points of freedom and seven spirituality, just as beautiful as a person like her.
Shen Xuan couldn't help but pay a little respect to her.
In fact, most of the people in Dongchang were born in poverty, and they admire the most knowledgeable and scholarly people, and Shen Xuan is no exception. There are words like this, the eldest princess is arrogant and tolerable.
Shen Xuan picked up the rice paper, stared at the words on the wet ink, and suddenly laughed, "What is the meaning of the word ‘righteous’?"
Xiao Changning wrote this "Taking Righteousness" because of selfishness, and wanted to use this to euphemistically remind Dongchang not to do unrighteous actions, and immediately respond like a liu: "The palace believes that righteousness is not righteousness, but morality. Love money. However, it is unrighteous to take the wrong way, to be greedy for power but to care for the people's livelihood, to act for the ministers, and to marry without fulfilling their responsibilities. It is all unrighteous."
"Oh." Shen Xuan raised her long eyebrows, as if she had already been taught. For a moment, he pointed out a word in the copybook, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Royal Highness, what is'the Lord of the World'?"
Shen Xuan's eyes were always strong and deep, as if she could see through everything. Xiao Changning knew that his careful thoughts could not hide his eyes, so he straightened up a little bit, and reluctantly replied: "The emperor, respect the emperor as the father. This sentence means that the emperor is like the father of the world and is a minister. One must respect the emperor and respect the emperor." The implication is already clear.
Shen Xuan sneered suddenly, "The minister doesn't think so."
Xiao Changning was a little surprised, but also a little curious. With Shen Xuan's current level of talent, can he have any higher insights?
"What's the advice of the admiral?"
"The minister thought that the so-called'world king's father' should mean that the emperor should regard the common people under the sky as his own father, and care about common people as if he respected his parents."
Hearing Shen Xuan's awkward reasoning, Xiao Changning's face flushed, and his mouth opened, as if he wanted to argue with him, he finally stopped talking.
It's nothing more. After all, the two people have different positions. One represents the imperial power of the Xiao family, and the other represents the will of the treacherous ministers. The words are not too speculative, and the same Quan Huan argues about the word "loyalty", which is unrealistic...
Xiao Changning sighed discouragedly and said, "Don't talk about this, is this copybook admiral satisfied?"
Shen Xuan said ‘um’, and slowly moved her gaze from the beautiful handwriting to the same beautiful wife, nodding slightly, "It's OK."
Admiral Shen said it was acceptable, it must be quite good.
Xiao Changning's heart moved, and he leaned in and said in a low voice, "For the sake of my house's calligraphy, can the admiral allow me to issue a warrant?"
Shen Xuan showed a look of ‘sure enough’, and asked instead: "Isn’t it because I came here to thank you?"
Xiao Changning looked at him expectantly and said sincerely: "My palace just thinks that the admiral is in a good mood at this time. If you don't ask anything, I'm sorry for such a good opportunity. Besides, this palace hasn't seen the emperor for many days."
Her voice was getting lower and lower, but Shen Xuan suddenly asked, "Is the pastry of today made by His Royal Highness himself?"
"Hey?" Xiao Changning hesitated for a moment between lying and telling the truth. It seemed that no matter which choice was harmful, she had no choice but to escape. "If it fails, don't force it... I will go back first. You don't have to send it off. ."
She got up in a hurry, and after walking less than two steps, she heard Shen Xuan calling behind her: "His Royal Highness, turn around."
His voice is deep and nice, and he is very outstanding among the voices of the eunuchs, and he has an irresistible power. Xiao Changning turned around unconsciously, and the next moment, a familiar token was thrown into her arms, which was a warrant for entering and leaving the Dongchang factory.
"Give your Royal Highness an hour." Shen Xuan took up her robe and put it on, adjusted her meticulous cuffs, and said calmly, "Let Jiang She accompany you."
Xiao Changning reacted to what he meant, and his eyes lit up, and even Xie forgot to say in joy, and went out quickly all the way.
Inside the palace, the little emperor is doing his homework in the Jingxin Pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Changning looking at him with a smile, bright colors flashed under his eyes, and soon dimmed, looking rather worried.
"What's the matter with the emperor?" Xiao Changning entered the door, sat down a few times across from his case, and took a look at his policy theory, and commented, "The characters have improved." The knowledge is still like embroidered pillows. Yes, soft and weak.
"Don't talk about it for now, A sister." Xiao Huan dullly took his own strategy away from her palm, looked around, Fang lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Is there something wrong with the handmaid given to you by the Queen Mother? ?"
"It's been a few days ago. About Mo is the queen mother who felt that marrying a eldest princess was not reliable enough. She wanted to put Qiu Hong as a concubine, but she failed." Xiao Changning doubted, "Why did the emperor suddenly ask About this?"
Xiao Huan said: "The queen mother is angry about this these few days. Although she was only a court lady, and the death was small, but she hit the face of the queen mother. Sister, now the undercurrent is surging in the middle, you have to be more careful. ."
"The emperor doesn't have to worry about the palace, take care of yourself." Xiao Changning smiled slightly, holding the small hand stove. "The queen mother has always been cautious, why is she so eager for quick success this time? It is absurd to let a palace lady seduce the eunuch, and the **** is not close. Female..."
At this point, she became a little uncertain. After all, I have seen Shen Xuan's suspected shaving behavior, and I always feel that something is wrong.
"Sister, don't you know?" Xiao Huan's face suddenly became a little weird, as if he was scrupulous, and he stopped.
The palace maid and the **** ate each other in pairs and comforted each other. This phenomenon is a tacit secret in the palace. But Xiao Changning never thought that this word would appear on Shen Xuan.
She was visibly startled, and then her absent-minded eyes slowly focused and turned into a little smile: "Where did the emperor hear this idiot, is it a mistake? My palace has been married to the Dongchang for a few months, never knowing that Shen Xuan can be a daughter color."
Seeing that she didn't believe her, Xiao Huan became anxious and said seriously: "It's true! The maid in charge of my side has seen it before..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the pavilion.
Xiao Changning was interrupted by his thoughts, got up and pushed the door, and saw Yue Yao standing in the courtyard in an official uniform and martial arts robe, holding an embroidered knives, and facing Jiang She who was arching an arrow with a bow.
"Jinyi Weifu envoy Yue Yao is instructed to protect his majesty's safety, why did Dongchang Fanzi break into the inner palace without permission?" Under the Wusha round hat, Yue Yao has thin eyebrows and heroic air, and has an indisputable beauty, and sternly questioned Jiang She. "Hey little mute, I want to ask you something!"
Hearing the words ‘little dumb’, Jiang She’s handsome face twisted slightly, pulling the bowstring fuller.
Seeing that the duel was about to start, Xiao Changning was afraid of something wrong, so he hurriedly stopped and said: "Sister Yue, Jiang She is escorting the palace to face the saint, and there is no malice."
"Changning?" Yue Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her eyebrows while looking at Jiang She, mocking: "Shen Xuan's people are so ignorant of etiquette? I have already reported my family, and Chief Jiang even said hello. It would be too arrogant not to fight."
Jiang shot his lips to move, then closed again, and silently retracted his bow and arrow.
"It has long been heard that Chief Officer Jiang is unparalleled. I wonder if he can have two tricks with me another day to ask for advice?" Seeing Jiang She's face stern, Yueyao is so boring, "Hey, you won't be really dumb?"
"Okay, Sister Yue, Chief Jiang is not always talking, don't arouse him." As soon as he saw Yue Yao, Xiao Changning forgot what Xiao Huan said, and pulled Yue Yao aside. , Said: "You just came here, this palace has something to say to you."
The two walked side by side along the path towards Huayuan, only to let Jiang She follow from a distance.
Yue Yao looked around and said, "There is no one now, so please say whatever you want to say."
Xiao Changning gave a dry cough, turned his head and said guiltily: "You gave that...Chen Xuan baby in this palace, it was eaten by a dog."
"..." Yue Yao was speechless for a moment, and Fang asked, "What does it mean to be eaten by a dog?"
Xiao Changning said sincerely: "Just, literally."
"His Royal Highness!" Yue Yao glared at her beautiful eyes, took a deep breath, and then became discouraged, holding a pair of broken jars and said, "Forget it, let's eat it after eating it, and give it to His Highness. Find a dried dog whip on top, make it more realistic, and you should not be spotted..."
Having said that, Yue Yao had a meal, then turned around and asked uncertainly: "The size of the dog whip...should it be appropriate?"
"..." Xiao Changning thought in a mess: Is this palace the kind of person who can observe the size of a dog's whip? !
It took her a while to get the thoughts biased by Yue Yao back to the right path, and whispered softly: "Sister Yue, I don’t want Shen Xu’s things. You can return it for this palace. If Shen Xu finds that I have lost it. I will admit it, no matter how bad it is."
"Why!" Yue Yao said anxiously, "If your Royal Highness is worried that things will be revealed, the minister can think of a way for your Royal Highness. You can use any whip on top of it. It is strange that he can recognize the true and false things that have been dried for ten years!"
"It's not for this reason." Xiao Changning cast his gaze to the far distance, smiled lightly, and said: "It's because my palace feels that there is no need to threaten him with this."
"His Royal Highness does not seek a way out for himself?"
"Sister Yue, in the past few months after marrying to Dongchang, this palace has only understood one thing: the biggest threat to this palace right now is not Shen Xuan."
"You..." Yue Yao looked at her serious expression, and suddenly wanted to understand something, her face was full of disbelief, and she stepped back and said, "Your Highness, shouldn't you like..."
"No!" Xiao Changning denied hurriedly.
Yue Yao stared at her.
"Really not." Xiao Changning repeated it again, but his gaze was slightly dodging.
Yue Yao sighed and loosened the fingers of Xiao Changning's twisted together one by one, and said helplessly: "Okay, your Royal Highness will decide what matters to your Royal Highness. But there are a few pieces of news here. If your Royal Highness hears it, he still decides to stand. On the side of the East Factory, the minister would never stop it."
