and total

Bai Jigeng only felt that he was facing an extremely obvious danger in a thick shadow.Fu Xiru wasn't trying to scare him, nor was he hostile towards him. Because of this, he didn't feel too scared, but subconsciously became nervous, and then admitted that what Fu Xiru said was right.

He has no roots, and has not gained Fu Xiru's trust. The only thing that can protect him is what Lu Zhong values, but the longer he is in the current stalemate, the less his value will be. For Lu Zhong, it is necessary to abandon him. It's an easy decision to make.

The current situation is not so bad, but it is only a matter of time before this prophecy is fulfilled.

Bai Jigeng forced a smile: "Yes."

It's not that he doesn't have worries, it's just that he has limited options, so he doesn't think about it anymore.Fu Xiru stared at him when he was talking, and then looked away, looking at the mist in the distance, the white pagoda, the winding mountains and pavilions on the shore, as if he had never said anything other than greetings from the beginning.

It's hard to say whether it's tolerance, city government, or lightness of weight.

Bai Jigeng sighed in his heart, but couldn't help but speak: "I will tell Duke Lu about this."

Fu Xiru opened the skylight to speak honestly with him, and of course he had such a purpose. Hearing the words, he nodded, and the boat landed on the shore with a sound, and got off the boat first.

The fewer people around, Bai Jigeng can ask more deeply: "Did your lord answer the call today, or..."

He didn't intend to inquire, and he asked this question simply because he suspected that the changes in Fu Xiru and Wei Liao were all due to the lack of communication today.Of course, there is nothing in Miyagi that can be hidden from Wei Liao's eyes and ears, but he doesn't see each other all day long, and the calm weather makes people suspect that it's just the still water running deep, and asking this question is actually to know how they are doing.

Although it seems that Bai Jigeng's identity is not right after asking about this kind of thing, but right now he spends most of his time in the Zichen Palace. If the Ministry of Rites hadn't made preparations for the affairs of the emperor's heir, Wei Liao didn't want to do it himself, and he had no choice but to consult these classics. If he didn't hand it over to his close ministers, he wouldn't go to Hongwen Pavilion either.

So after all, he was regarded as a close minister of the emperor.

Different from Wei Liao, Fu Xiru's composure was flawless. He just glanced at him when he heard the words, and said lightly: "I have something to see His Majesty, but I didn't summon you." Joke: "Why, Mr. Bai seems to be worried?"

He seemed too innocent, Bai Jigeng was tongue-tied, unable to say the words that he intended to remind him, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said to himself: "I always know that there is no need to worry about Mr. Fu."

Master Fu smiled at him again.

After all, Penglai Island is not very big. Although the rules of waiting for notification and summoning are still there, they are not so strict after all. Bai Jigeng went to the side hall to review and select the old rules, and Fu Xiru also went to the waiting hall to wait.

Once he made up his mind, he would strictly implement it without hesitation, even though the resolution was not easy, so when Wei Liao was pacing around fidgeting, struggling to see and see, he was calm and seemed not to suffer at all. I don't think it is too difficult to avoid each other in such a weird way.

After Wei Liao finally made up his mind to meet him, he caught a glimpse of such a calm and quiet face from the corner of his eye.

He was flirting with a court lady.

For Wei Liao, who grew up in the deep palace and was loved and loved, molesting a court lady can't be called molesting, it can only be called teasing.He was born to love beauties, and he has a compensatory intimacy with women. To the court ladies, he is actually not very superior.Compared with ordinary masters, he is cautious enough, he only plays games with them and makes fun of them, but it is rare for him to be locked in the deep palace for life after receiving grace overnight.

Therefore, there are always lively, innocent and clever girls around him, so that he can feel happy.

And once Wei Liao took his eyes off Fu Xiru, he could find many things that would make him happy, so he wanted to persuade himself not to be attached.

The girl's arms were snow-white, like clear tender lotus root. When she saw someone coming, she blushed and quickly retracted them into her sleeves. She took two steps back, just in time to see the smile on the young emperor's face disappear like ice and snow melting. No, it was pulled out again immediately, hanging high like a wine flag.

He thought nothing of it.

However, Fu Xiru was more used to it than he was. As soon as he turned around and called Pingshen, he directly said what he meant: "There are still a few important local officials whose promotions have not yet been decided. The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Ministers have already discussed and submitted the imperial edict. What do you think? ?”

In fact, the imperial edict has been submitted for several days, and it should have been replied long ago. This is not a difficult task. Even if you disagree, you can send it back to them for re-discussion. However, Wei Liao didn't respond right now, so he had to be urged by his subordinates. .

This matter should have belonged to Pei Mi, but he has reached the limit of serving the king recently, and he is easily blamed, so he didn't dare to come.He is the chief official of Shangshu Province, and Fu Xiru had no choice but to obey his words, so he thought to himself that he should also come, so he pushed the boat along.

Earlier, Wei Liao would complain about his attitude of talking about business at the beginning, "You have to come to see me for this kind of thing", but now he doesn't complain, and looks at him noncommittally.

Both of them had unspeakable throbbing in their hearts. It seemed that the other party had become a stranger after not seeing each other for a few days. It was not like the one they were familiar with at all. Only by touching and feeling it inch by inch could they confirm that he was really It's that person.

But this is actually unnecessary, they know each other well, so with a slight trembling of their fingers, they quickly curb this thought.

Wei Liao's changes were even greater, he was always domineering, and once he fell silent, people could not help but suspect that he had treated him too badly.Because of this appearance, for many years, Fu Xiru always felt that the lessons Wei Liao had learned were not enough.

Climbing high and falling heavily, the root system will be stronger when going up again. Unfortunately, the world is so big, but no one has the right to teach the emperor what principles. He suppressed himself and waited intently for Wei Liao's answer.

"I have other ideas," Wei Liao's eyes couldn't hide their fiery passion, lingering like sugar threads, wrapping around Fu Xiru's body, but his tone was quite cold. For a moment, the two seemed to respect each other as if they were guests, and they restrained each other. What's happening now has nothing to do with it: "Ai Qing doesn't need to worry. Wait a little longer."

He was indeed a little absent-minded, and it could be seen that the reason for his reluctance to reply was that he hadn't made up his mind yet, but as he said, there was really no need to worry about this matter. If Pei Mi's order wasn't just right, Fu Xiru wouldn't have come here at all.

It's just that neither of them cares.

The hall fell silent for a while, no one spoke, and Fu Xiru did not leave. He silently counted thirty in his heart, watching Wei Liao's expression change from calm to anxious, like a rabbit with its ears nailed to a stake.

His mind is really easy to guess.

Fu Xiru was about to speak, but a gust of cool wind poured in from the open door and window, and after a while, raindrops fell.

Wei Liao muttered to himself, "It's raining", and as soon as he finished speaking, the torrential rain really poured down.The palace people rushed in to close the window, tidy up the papers and books under the window, and Wei Liao hadn't finished reviewing the memorials and edicts, which interrupted Fu Xiru to start a new topic.

He didn't insist anymore, and took another look at Wei Liao, who was sitting upright between the busy skirts, and retired respectfully.

Although it was already raining, sheltering from the rain doesn't have to be in the same room with Wei Liao. Now that the business has been finished, Wei Liao also thought he should leave, so Fu Xiru went with the flow.

Wei Liao nodded.

Fu Xiru went all the way out and went around the other side of the corridor from the original time, knowing that there was a pavilion at the corner for temporary shelter from the rain.Almost no one dared to wander around in the palace, the remote place was very quiet, and the torrential rain this summer would not last for too long, and he could go back from the lake when the rain stopped.

He has actually had contact with people from the household department in recent days.The most important things in the world are nothing more than three things, money, food, and soldiers. If it's just a drought and some canal water is used for irrigation, the situation is not too bad, but if there is a real flood, this year's harvest will be greatly affected.

In the past few years of Wei Liao's reign, the tax was not heavy, but the corvee was rarely reduced or exempted.This is indeed not easy, and it is logical that the Ministry of Household Affairs should say it, but as far as Fu Xiru understands these personnel matters, he still needs to speak up most of the time.

Wei Liao has a bad temper, and there are always few people who dare to speak out against Tianwei and bring about their own disasters, not to mention that the Secretary of the Household Department is not a enterprising person.When there was no Quanxuan and Chunwei before, Fu Xiru always thought that no one could use this kind of thing, and after this, there should be some relief. In fact, it is not too much difference after the new blood is replaced.

He intends to bring it up himself, but this is acting on his behalf, not to mention that the situation is still unclear, mentioning this right now will unavoidably make the unstable climate in the palace turbulent again, so he held back.

Hope all is well this year.

He was standing on the porch and sighing, when he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him, and he was within three or five steps in an instant, so he turned his head in surprise, only to see a deep deep green, which was then covered by people Eye.

The ambergris rooted in the visitor's body emanated faintly, mixed with water vapor, entangled up, Fu Xiru did not expect it, subconsciously took a step back, was pressed against the pillar, and buried in his arms alone, without saying a word , only gasping for breath, and then hugged him firmly on the waist.

Realizing that the visitor didn't want him to make a sound, nor did he want to see his intentions, Fu Xiru neither struggled nor resisted, letting a soft touch approach, and finally traced it on his scar, and quickly fell to his neck On the ground, the sleeve was pulled down heavily, and then the hand that blocked his sight left.

After a while, Fu Xiru waited for the sound of chaotic footsteps to disappear, then slowly opened his eyes, stared at the way behind him in silence for a moment, touched in the sleeve, and saw a handkerchief wrapped in a few dried flowers, calamus and pomegranate.

Who knows how Wei Liao got it.

Fu Xiru couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head, wrapped the handkerchief again, and put it back in his sleeve.
