clean

Lu Yu was startled, the door of the room was knocked open by people outside, the leader was naturally his people, but just as Lu Yu's smile was on the corner of his mouth, he heard someone angrily said: "Fourth Highness, let's go - this Chen Xiang There's an ambush here! We don't have enough manpower!"

Lu Yu was startled, and got up quickly. Through the crack of the door, he could see two groups of people fighting together downstairs, and there was the sound of weapons being handed over and clashing, mixed with terrifying screams.

"Where did the ambush come from?" Lu Yu didn't care too much at this time, he walked to Si He's side in two or three steps, his eyes were like a torch: "Si He! Is it yours?"

He never expected that Si He would be able to plot against him one day, nor did he think that Si He would be able to mobilize people to fight him with swords.

Where did Si He come from?

"King Yu is serious." Si He had a look of nothing to do with himself, "Where did I get the ability to summon so many people?"

"It just so happens that Xiangniang is my good friend. Seeing that the king of Yu is not kind, she naturally wants to drive her out."

His words are three points true and seven points false.

"Sihe—you—" Lu Yu pulled out the sword of the person next to him, and swung it down at Sihe. He didn't think too much about it, he just felt anxious. plot.

Si He frowned, turned around and dodged, and took out a pen from nowhere, and used it as a weapon to block Lu Yu's sword.

Seeing that Lu Yu was not murderous, Si He knew that if Lu Yu was injured today, he would not be able to escape, so he turned around abruptly and threw the wolf hair out of his hand.

For this blow, Si He put all his strength into it.

Lu Yu only felt that the back of his hand seemed to be hit by a piece of iron, and he let go of the sword in pain, and the long sword fell at the sound.

Seeing a large bruise on the back of his hand, he became even more suspicious, but before Lu Yu could speak, Si He smiled and said, "Prince Yu is still leaving?"

Lu Yu couldn't care less about chatting with him, he had just been crowned king, besides, the Shenxiangfang was still at the foot of the emperor, and the king of Yu led people to assassinate the son of Shangshu. The gentle image of the past few years should all be wasted.

"Si He, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine!" Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you the last half a month to think it over carefully. If you're obsessed with obsession, don't blame me for not saving yesterday's favor."

"Prince Yu, please—" Si He walked to the door, made a gesture, and said loudly: "Xiangniang, see off—"

When Lu Yu passed by him, he gave him a half-smile look, which made Si He's heart sink suddenly, and he suddenly felt that what he did today might be a little reckless.

As soon as the Fourth Highness left, Chen Xiang Fang suddenly became quiet. Si He walked down the stairs slowly while holding on to the handrail. Seeing the mess downstairs, he sighed and said, "Xiang Niang, I will pay for the damages."

"Where did Mr. Si say that it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of Mr. Xiangniang. If these things fall, they will fall, as long as Mr. Si is safe." Xiangniang smiled and said: "But today, King Yu will definitely hold a grudge in the future, so you should be more careful."

"I know," Si He smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to open Chenxiangfang by yourself, but fortunately you are smart and know how to find a backer for this Chenxiangfang. It's a little more reassuring."

Xiangniang nodded, seeing that Si He didn't have any other emotions, she felt worried for him again.But she is a girl, and she really can't help Si He, and she feels even more powerless.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much." Si He comforted Xiang Niang, and said with a light smile: "Fate has a decree, and some things are destined to be catastrophes in my life, and I cannot avoid them."

……

Late at night, Prince Yu's Mansion

Ren Bohou stroked his beard and said in a low voice, "King Yu, you are still too impatient today."

The eldest princess Zhaoxiu of the dynasty was the mother of Ren Bohou, so Emperor Jing would call this Ren Bohou his cousin.Marquis Renbo loves rouge and wine, and he is just an idle dandy in the court. Emperor Jing reluctantly granted this cousin a title for the sake of the eldest princess.

Chaoli has always been indifferent to this Lord Hou, but he never thought that one day Chengguo's country would be defeated by this idle dandy.

"But..." Lu Yu regretted, "I'm really impatient."

"Prince Yu, forgive my blindness." Ren Bohou frowned and asked, "How did this Si He get the favor of King Yu?"

In his impression, Si He is just the son of a minister who can paint. The Si mansion produced a concubine Yugui and a princess concubine. It stands to reason that Si He should be regarded as hostile by Lu Yu. Someone who has to be won over.

"He has a waist card that allows him to enter the palace at will." Lu Yu said with a smile, "It was given by his father for his meritorious service in saving his family."

"So that's how it is." Marquis Ren stroked his beard and smiled slowly, "Don't worry, King Yu, I've made arrangements for the dispatch of troops."

"Very good...very good..." Lu Yu laughed, with a strange and unpredictable expression on his face.

"Then Yu Wang, I hope the lord will take care of my daughter in the future." Ren Bohou smiled and took a sip of tea, and said slowly.

What he did today was for his little daughter to have a good home in the future, who made his little daughter only want to marry Lu Yu.

I will pave the way for her by myself, as much as I can do, I will do my best.

"That's natural. Miss Xie will be a princess in the future, and I will definitely treat her well."

……

Si He went back to the mansion and locked himself in the house for two days.

Strange to say, during this period, Lu Yu did not embarrass him in the future, and Mr. Si came back from court, and everything was in order, and there was no accident.

If there is anything to be happy about, the Crown Princess entrusted someone to send some high-quality silver fox furs, and Mrs. Si took them and planned to make another fur cloak for the two brothers.

"It seems that Sister Lu is doing well in the palace." Si Yan sighed, "Except for the time when I went back to the house, I just don't know when I will see Sister Lu next time."

"Let's celebrate the New Year." Si He squinted his eyes and dozed off without raising his head. "There should be a few days to visit relatives during the New Year. This is the year. I'm afraid it won't be a good time."

"You're talking nonsense again." Si Yan got up and walked to Si He's side, "He'er, what's the matter with you? You've been depressed lately, unable to cheer up, and not interested in watching anything."

"I don't have one." Si He yawned innocently, "I'm just cold and want to sleep. When will spring come?"

"It's coming soon," Si Yan was full of energy, and he didn't know what to think of, so he laughed foolishly.

Seeing him laughing, Si He was also amused, "What are you laughing at? You're so stupid."

"Mother has already made a deal with the Iceman. When spring comes, I will go to the He Mansion to make a matchmaking match." Si Yan said cheerfully, "I just don't know when will be a good day."

Si He laughed dumbly, it turned out that Si Yan was thinking about this.

"You don't have to worry about that, the Iceman said that the matchmaker will naturally choose a good date." Si He comforted him, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Si Yan, what do you think of Lu Yu?" He gently pointed at the table with his finger, and said slowly.

"Prince Yu?" Si Yan thought for a while and said, "Prince Yu is gentle, dignified and restrained, but he just doesn't feel easy to get along with. I don't know why."

"Then if one day..." Si He didn't finish, he just waved his hands and said casually: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Our family hasn't been to Yunxiao Villa for a long time, why don't we celebrate the New Year at the Villa today."

"It's okay, I also feel like I haven't been there for a long time." Si Yan was very happy, without any intentions: "I want to go to the hot spring pool of Yunxiao Mountain Villa to take a good bath, and I will go tell my mother later."

"Then you go, don't say I said it." Si He stopped dozing off, propped his head and smiled and said: "When the time comes, mother should say that I am playful again."

He had already made up his mind in his heart that there would be a catastrophe in Mocheng in winter, and Yunxiao Villa was still some distance away from Mocheng, so it would be safe for the time being.

***

Ji Wanghuai followed Commander Yan in Yuncheng to train soldiers and lead the battle. He had no pretensions of a prince, and was willing to endure hardships. He was not at all delicacy like the usual imperial relatives, so he quickly became one with the soldiers.

Commander Yan is a few years older than Ji Wanghuai, and he is also a rookie. He can't see the morale of Qi Guo's soldiers is low and depressed. He thought that sending a prince here is because King Wen put some eyeliner on him, but he didn't expect Ji Wanghuai's views on the military camp. He has a temper with him and his ideas, the two practiced troops together, and gradually chatted and became acquainted.

"King Yu, how are you today?" Yesterday Ji Wanghuai somehow contracted a cold and coughed non-stop. Although he took medicine, his complexion was still not very good.

"I'm fine." King Yu waved his hand, signaling to ignore him, "How's the training going today?"

"Although it's still a bit disappointing, it's better than when we first came here." Commander Yan said with a smile, "It's freezing cold, so the rules can be relaxed a little bit."

"No." Ji Wanghuai shook his head and insisted on training: "The enemy's siege doesn't care about the cold weather, as long as there is an advantage, they will attack. Qiguo is already many steps behind Chengguo, every minute and every second Can't relax."

"Yes." Commander Yan ordered to leave the tent.

Seeing Commander Yan gone, Ji Wanghuai asked Jiu Qing who was beside him: "How is Si He doing recently?"

"Qi Shu said that Mr. Si is in business as usual, but he had an unpleasant quarrel with King Yu in Chenxiangfang a few days ago." Jiu Qing said: "But the people in Sifu are planning to go to Yunxiao Mountain Villa in a few days, it seems that Mr. Si suggested it."

"He naturally has his own ideas where he wants to go. Let Qi Shu think more about it. King Yu is not kind to Si He, so let him pay more attention." Ji Wanghuai told Jiuqing again: "I may be a little busy recently, except for Si He. As for the matter of the crane, you and Yu Jiang will handle the rest of the trivial matters on my behalf, so there is no need to report them."

He was busy in the barracks these days and didn't care about Chengguo's affairs. He was afraid that Sihe would be too tired dealing with Lu Yu in Chengguo alone, so he asked Jiuqing to send some painting albums and transferred the two of them there.

It's just that as long as the Yu Dynasty is still there, he feels that there is no peace for a day.

The cold wind whizzed past the battlefield, Ji Wanghuai stood in the wind, listening to the sound of the military flags, and from nowhere came desolate and tragic battle songs, hitting his heart heavily.

But when he thought of the fiery figure of someone in red, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slowly.

***

The news that King Yu was going to get married was like a spring breeze that blew through thousands of households in Mocheng overnight.

As the king of Yu, although Lu Yu is not as rich as the crown prince, but fortunately he is also a prince of Chengguo. Besides, Lu Yu's face is like a crown of jade, and he is gentle and elegant. Naturally, he has won the admiration of many young ladies in Mocheng.

Princess Yu is the eldest lady of Renbohou's mansion, Xie Ying.Originally, Emperor Jing wanted to give Lu Yu a concubine's concubine daughter in marriage, but he heard Concubine Xi often whispering in his ears how lively and beautiful Miss Xie's family is, and then thought about Renbohou's usual laziness, and Renbohou's mansion. Without posing any threat to the prince, he agreed to the marriage.

Mrs. Si has already sent someone to Yunxiao Mountain Villa, and told Aunt Xuan that she will go to the mountain villa to celebrate the New Year in a few days.

Xuan Gu is Madam Si's friend. She used to be Madam Si's mother's maid in front of the court, and she can be regarded as watching Madam Si grow up. Later, Madam Si's mother betrothed him to a young scholar. After becoming a merchant, the husband and wife built this Yunxiao Villa. From time to time, Sifu's family would go to stay for a few days.

"Prince." Si Lu was doing embroidery work in the room, when he saw the prince coming in, he got up and asked, "Does the prince know about the news that Prince Yu is getting married?"

"I know." The crown prince took the hand warmer from the servant and handed it to Si Lu, "It's been cold recently, so pay more attention to your body."

Si Lu smiled shyly, "What this concubine thinks is that when Prince Yu gets married, the Prince's Mansion should also send some gifts."

"Then just watch and send it off." The prince rubbed his brows, feeling very helpless. "Father is not feeling well recently, I'm afraid he is getting old, and the weather is too cold, so I can't take it for a while."

"Today's winter is indeed a bit cold." Si Lu frowned and said, "The prince should spend more time in the palace with His Majesty."

"Naturally." The crown prince sighed, and said, "Second brother should also get married, but Princess Yu will be Miss Xie from Renbohou's residence. Do you have any impression of this Miss Xie, Lu'er?"

Si Lu thought for a while, and only remembered that she seemed to be an arrogant and domineering lady, because she was favored by Ren Bohou, she became a little lawless in her actions.

"The style of acting is a bit like He'er in the past." Si Lu said with a smile: "It's just that the temper is a bit grumpy and quick-tempered."

In fact, she was somewhat selfish, but she hoped that Lu Yu's marriage partner would be a little worse than her.In this way, this kind of woman will not be able to become a queen in the end, and Emperor Jing is naturally not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and the Renbohou Mansion has long been an empty title in name only, and the forces behind Princess Yu can't cause any damage to the prince. Threat, the position of the prince will be more stable in the future.

"How can this be done?" The prince was a little anxious when he heard this, "Of course the candidate for the princess should be dignified and virtuous, gentle and generous is better, how can such a woman be Princess Yu."

Seeing this, Si Lu quickly grabbed the crown prince, and said slowly: "Your Highness, all of this is His Majesty's intention. Naturally, His Majesty has his reasons for doing so. You should understand His Majesty's good intentions."

"That's all." The prince waved his hand and sat down on the chair discouragedly, "I didn't care enough about these brothers before, but the higher I am, the colder I feel."

Si Lu sighed inwardly, and stepped forward to hold the prince's hand, "Don't think too much, Your Highness, this concubine will always be with you."

……

Si He stayed in the mansion for a few days, seeing that Lu Yu really didn't bother him, and thinking that maybe Lu Yu was too busy with his marriage to take care of him, he felt much happier.

Staying in the house is almost moldy, he just wants to go and play with Jian Jinshan and the others.

Jian Jinshan made an appointment to drink mutton soup in a restaurant on West Street, which was an indispensable activity for them in winter.

The most famous sheep soup restaurant in Mocheng is this Chaosheng restaurant. Whenever the weather is cold, the inside and outside of the building are often surrounded by water. Fortunately, Jian Jinshan rents out one of them all year round, and Si He squeezes in directly. He went in and walked towards the private room.

Apart from Jian Jinshan, there are a few other people, all old faces.Si He was the last one to arrive, and when he was seated, Jian Jinshan called out loudly: "Xiaoer—serve—"

"You all know that Prince Yu is going to get married, right?" After everyone was seated, one of them said with a smirk, "I'm still married to Miss Xie."

"Hey, don't discuss this matter." Some of them were a little timid, but they didn't dare to say anything immediately.

"What are you afraid of? Only my buddies are here, and I don't want to say it in front of him." Jian Jinshan pursed her lips, unwilling, "Brother He, tell me."

"Me?" Si He was stunned when he was called by name inexplicably, "What did I say?"

"This Miss Xie—" Jian Jinshan elongated his voice and bumped into Si He, "Do you think it is appropriate for King Yu to marry Miss Xie's family?"

"Isn't that suitable?" Si He poured himself a pot of tea first, and said to himself, "Speaking of which, I don't think King Yu is good enough for Miss Xie's family."

"No way, hahaha." Everyone thought he was satirizing King Yu, this Miss Xie's lady was a pungent master, and she really didn't match Lu Yu, but it must be that Miss Xie's family wasn't good enough. Yu Wang is.

Si He lowered his head and smiled, then drank tea to hide his emotions.

This Miss Xie is not as scheming as Lu Yu, Lu Yu married Miss Xie purely to take advantage of Ren Bohou, if it is said that he loves her, he must not be half as good as Miss Xie.

Everyone ate mutton soup, and since they hadn't seen each other for a few days, they drank a little wine and chatted.

When the wine was getting strong, someone asked: "Brother He——I haven't heard what you said about getting married, maybe it's because you haven't caught your eye yet."

The few of them, more or less, have a favorite woman, this is Si He, and they have never heard him mention about any girl, and they are still gossiping, maybe Brother He doesn't like women.

"I have a favorite." Si He said with a smile, "He - a secret!"

Everyone booed, Jian Jinshan came out to smooth things over, "Hey, Brother He, you have to say a surname, we have been playing since we were young, there is nothing to hide."

"That's right! If you like a girl, it's on the brothers!"

The crowd started booing again, and Si He was pushed by them, so he had no choice but to say his last name.

"Surname Ji."

season?

This is a rare surname.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They turned in their minds for a long time, but they never thought that the family in Mocheng had the surname Ji.

"Not from Mocheng." Seeing their stupefied looks, Si He started to fool them again: "Don't guess, drink and drink—"

So it's not from Mocheng...

No wonder they didn't have the impression, they thought their brains were not enough!

Everyone felt relieved immediately, and they felt happy after drinking.

***

In the end, Si He was escorted back to the Si mansion by Jian Jinshan and the others.

Although Si He was weak all over, but fortunately his mind was still clear, he sighed inwardly, it seemed that he couldn't handle drinking enough.

"Master Jian, leave the young master to the old slave." The butler took Si He, thanked him politely, and helped Si He back.Although Si He was supported by the housekeeper, he could still see everything around him clearly. When passing by the garden, he asked casually, "Why didn't you see Old Wu, the gardener?"

"Isn't that what you said, Young Master, to give Old Wu a sum of money to let him go back to his hometown?" The housekeeper was still surprised, "And Ma Xiaoqi was also ordered by you, Young Master."

"Me?" Si He felt drowsy again, and he muttered, "Then think it's me..."

Si He slept extremely restlessly this time.

He dreamed of the imperial palace, of Emperor Jing, and of the mighty guard of honor.

In the dream, someone led him through the crowd, kneeling on the ground with a group of dignitaries and nobles.Standing on the Temple of Heaven is Chengguo's master Shushi and two priests. As the flags in the hands of the priests fluttered, the scene suddenly changed—it turned into a strange crowd, a strange emperor, and everything strange.

Si He became bewildered, although he was still in a similar Temple of Heaven, but everything was different again, the unknown made him feel terrified, he suddenly became terrified, and flew to break away from it all.

"Sihe——" I don't know who called his name. His whole body seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move. As the flames on the altar shot straight into the sky, two figures fell straight in, caught by the flames. Surrounded, the audience was in an uproar.

He began to be at a loss, but fortunately, his feet could move, even though he seemed to be stepping on the clouds, he still ran hurriedly, but no matter how he ran, he still couldn't escape the group of strangers. crowd.

A hand reached out from nowhere and grabbed his wrist.Si He turned his head abruptly and met a pair of familiar eyes.

It's like meeting you for the first time.

It's Ji Wanghuai.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and the room was still warm with the stove on.Calculating the time, it should be almost noon, he called out the door to call in the maid.The door of the house was opened, and a chill was swept in, and two or three maidservants came in to change his clothes and freshen up.

"Where's Xiao Lushui?" He saw that there was no Xiao Lushui around.

"Little Lushui was dozing off in the study, and the servants saw that he was fast asleep, so they didn't wake him up."

"This kid." Si He laughed, "You're being lazy again."

"Okay, I'll go for a walk." Seeing that everything was tidied up, Si He straightened his collar, put on the cloak handed by the maid, and went out the door.

Along the way, he was silent, and finally reached Si Fu's study, he opened the door and walked in.

Xiao Lushui was dozing off, when she saw Si He coming in, she quickly wiped off her saliva, stood up, not daring to look at Si He's face.

"Brother Xiaohe."

"En." Si He nodded, and asked, "Where's Qi Shu?"

Qi Shu was the person who delivered Ji Wanghuai's letter in the Si Mansion at that time, and secretly also played the role of protecting Si He.

"He's in the woodshed."

Before Xiao Lushui finished speaking, Si He had already opened the door and walked out, leaving only his back blown away by the wind and snow.

***

When Si He walked into the firewood room, Qi Shu was adding firewood to the stove.Seeing him walk in, Qi Shu got up quickly: "Young master."

It's still that unpretentious face, even if you throw it in the crowd, you can't find it.

"From today onwards, you don't have to stay in the woodshed, just stay by my side." After Si He said this, he ordered the others: "Go out, I have something to say to him."

Seeing that Si He's complexion was not very good, the servants retreated sensibly, and only Qi Shu and Si He were left in the small firewood room.

"Qi Shu, you are Ji Wanghuai's person, right?" Si He said softly, "You should know that I will take care of what happened in the Sifu."

"Yes..." Qi Shu murmured inwardly that it was not good, this Si He had come to Xingshi to question his guilt.

"You told Ji Wanghuai about the gardener Lao Wu and Ma Xiaoqi in the mansion, and about Lu Yu and I in Chenxiangfang?"

"Yes..." Qi Shu's voice gradually lowered, feeling a little lacking in confidence.

"You've been by Ji Wanghuai's side for so long! Do you know how tired Ji Wanghuai is every day?" Si He's voice started to rise, and he almost growled hastily: "He has to lead troops for training every day, Looking through the Art of War, I want to help King Wen deal with the border, and help the prince stabilize his heart! I am reluctant to tell him what happened here, for fear that he will be distracted, worried for me, and tired, you know! You That's good, tell him everything! I'm afraid he doesn't have enough things to do every day, right?"

Si He's words made Qi Shu dizzy like crackling beans.

He admitted that he told Ji Wanghuai, but this is also his responsibility.

It was his task to report everything that happened to Si He on time every day, so why did it become his fault.

"Didn't I tell Old Wu and Ma Xiaoqi, the gardener, that I will deal with it!" Si He frowned, dissatisfied, "Why did you take the initiative to let them go back?"

"This is... what our lord meant... afraid that these two people would harm you." Qi Shu stammered, "The lord was afraid that King Yu and King Yu would harm you in the future, so he sent two more people to protect you." Safety."

Since the day before yesterday, Si He always felt that someone was following him, and he guessed right, it was Ji Wanghuai's person.

"From now on, only good news is allowed, not bad news, do you hear me!" Si He frowned and glared at him, then said in a low voice.

"I..." Qi Shu felt wronged, wouldn't he become a traitor?

"Let's stop this matter." Si He made a gesture, stroked his chin and looked at Qi Shu carefully: "Okay, now let me see your real face."

Qi Shu's mind went blank, he stammered and asked, "What... what..."

"Your own face." Si He said nonchalantly, "Didn't you use my face to get the butler to fire Lao Wu and Ma Xiaoqi?"

Qi Shu: ...

After half a cup of tea, Qi Shu honestly cleaned up the mess on his face.Si He stroked his chin and remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but he didn't know what to say.

The word shock can't fully describe his current mood. He only feels that he has witnessed the whole process of Qi Shu's conjuring, but he hasn't regained his senses for a long time.

"You... you actually look like this?" Si He stuttered this time, and he looked Qi Shu up and down, "It's not like you usually."

Usually Qi Shu is like an honest middle-aged man, always following Si He silently, sometimes delivering letters from pigeons for him, and sometimes helping him with Xiao Lushui's homework.

Si He himself did not expect that it would be such a young boy with a baby face.

He looks young, and he looks shy when he smiles, with a kind of white bookishness.

"You should be younger than me." Si He asked with a good temper, "We both look similar, or are we about the same age as me?"

"Young Master Si is just joking." Qi Shu cupped his hands, "Two out of thirty."

"......" Si He was dumbfounded, "You... are 32 years old..."

After all, Qi Shu should be considered small...

Or should it be said that Si He is old...

***

On the day of Lu Yu's marriage, there was another heavy snowfall in Mocheng.

Snow-capped, the whole city is covered in silver, like a fairyland.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums all around, Si He couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality for a moment.

"Today, is Prince Yu getting married?" He murmured to himself.

"Yeah," Xiao Lushui asked suspiciously, "Brother Xiaoyan is gone, brother Xiaohe, why don't you go?"

"Go." He suddenly laughed, "Of course I will."

King Yu's wedding was naturally less ostentatious than the crown prince's. Fortunately, Ms. Xie didn't value ostentation, she just loved Lu Yu wholeheartedly, and everything else was just embellishment to her.

However, this matter has become a topic of chat among the people of Mo City after dinner. It seems that King Yu is too frugal in getting married, and he doesn't seem to care about the concubine.

Si He didn't want to step into Prince Yu's mansion again, but Lu Yu's status was still a bit higher than his, and besides, Si Yan and Si Pingchuan had gone, so he couldn't let the prince look at him by himself.

There is not much difference from the day of marriage with the prince, they are still familiar old faces, but there are fewer people, and more dignitaries and dignitaries who are close to Renbohou's mansion.

Si He was still wearing red clothes today, with a black cloak on top, a high silver crown, and two strands of hair hanging from his temples by his ears.

On the other hand, today's Lu Yu is also dressed in a red wedding dress, which makes people look rosy. I don't know if it is really happy or just dazzled by everyone's compliments.

As soon as the three people from the Sifu arrived, some people began to quiet down.On the surface, everyone attributed them to the prince's people, so the people in Renbohou's mansion naturally didn't like them very much.However, Si Pingchuan also has quite a lot of contacts in the court, so some courtiers are still willing to talk to him.

"Si He, you're here." Lu Yu was originally entertaining guests, but when he saw Si He and his party arrived, he smiled at the others and signaled his excuse.

"I wish King Yu and Princess Yu a happy union for a hundred years and forever." Si He saluted respectfully. At this time, he no longer had many emotions from his previous life, but he still wanted to say polite words.

"Si He." Unexpectedly, Lu Yu grabbed his wrist and hurriedly said, "I apologize to you for what happened last time."

"What is King Yu talking about?" Si He looked at him with a smile, trying to break free, but Lu Yu grabbed his wrist fiercely, his expression changed, and he said seriously: "Prince Yu, please let go. "

Unexpectedly, Lu Yu actually pulled him to the nearby flower bushes. Si He's heart sank. He knew that if he was a "secret agent" with Lu Yu, in the eyes of outsiders, they would only feel that they were close. Whatever Yu does, anyone with a heart will definitely drag him into the water.

But today's Lu Yu seemed to be very different. Even though Si He wanted to pull his wrist out of Lu Yu's hand, he still led him for a distance.

"Prince Yu, just talk here if you have something to say." Si He squinted his eyes, and his eyes gradually became unfriendly.

Seeing Si He like this, Lu Yu knew that he was angry, so she didn't force him, but said, "Si He, what are you thinking about?"

"I still say what I said last time. I'm just a son of Shangshu, and I can't make any waves." Si He said in a deep voice, "Even if I have the token bestowed by Emperor Jing, if King Yu wants to do something wrong to Chengguo, Sorry, I won't agree."

"Okay——" Lu Yu laughed, "Sure enough, it's still that Si He, who is dedicated to the country, which is moving."

He felt more and more that he underestimated Si He.

Si He is upright, with a pure and kind nature. In the future, he will need such a person by his side to help him govern the world.

But first, it needs to be his talent.

"You really don't think about it?" Lu Yu smiled for the first time, "That's fine, I won't force you, just pretend that you never knew about this matter, and never participated in it. How is that good?"

Si He was taken aback, he didn't expect Lu Yu to agree so readily.

It's not like his style.

"You—" Unexpectedly, before Si He could speak, a figure appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of him, "Prince Yu, please pay attention to your identity."

"You are?" Lu Yu squinted his eyes, looked Qi Shu up and down, "Little boy, are you Si He's follower?"

little boy...

Si He rolled his eyes in his heart.

"There are two in my next thirty, not the young man that King Yu said." Qi Shu said neither humble nor overbearing.

Lu Yu: ...

He coughed softly: "You may have misunderstood, but it's getting late, and I have to entertain distinguished guests, so I won't accompany you." After speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes, turned around and strode away.

As soon as Lu Yu left, Qi Shu immediately asked, "Master Si, did King Yu hurt you?"

"No." Si He shook his head and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you came in time. There are so many guests here, it's inconvenient for me to do anything."

"I understand." Qi Shu led him back, and when they reached the banquet area, the two found a remote place to sit down.

"Young master Si, do you understand what King Yu thinks of you?" Qi Shu said suddenly, which surprised Si He.

Si He pretended to be calm and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Master Si is still young, so I may not understand some things." Qi Shu still has a baby face, but his eyes seem to have read the vicissitudes of life, "But I am much older than you, and I am more knowledgeable than you." A lot more, I can understand what his intentions are with a look or a smile from some people."

"Then tell me, what does King Yu mean." Si He said with a smile, "But I've heard the details."

"Prince Yu is pleased with you." Qi Shu said slowly, "He admires you very much, and it seems to be beyond the friendship of normal men."

Si He's face remained unchanged, but his mind moved slightly.

"Maybe he's obsessed with you." Qi Shu didn't care about Si He's unpredictable expression, and said to himself: "His eyes can't lie——"

"Qi Shu." Si He interrupted him, stood up and walked in front of Qi Shu, and said word by word while looking into his eyes: "This matter must not be reported to Ji Wanghuai."

"I know." Qi Shu returned the salute respectfully, and said with a smile, "Because I have seen this look in the eyes of the prince."

Si He was taken aback for a moment, and raised his heart in his throat. For this answer, he was somewhat looking forward to it but also a little timid.

"Where...where..."

"When I saw Mr. Si."
