Thought

In the forbidding imperial palace, the Panlong Hall was brightly lit, under the resplendent decoration, eunuchs and maids shuttled through it in an orderly manner.In the sleeping palace in the middle, Emperor Yan was wearing comfortable clothes and leaning on the gold-plated dragon chair, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap.

Liang Zhu and Changxi are waiting on the side.

There was a person kneeling in front of him, and the fish scales bordered by gold threads occasionally flashed under the light.Dong Hua bent down, and described the matter of private gold mining in detail, without adding the slightest emotion.

Gradually, Dong Hua's voice was the only one left in the huge palace.Until Dong Hua finished speaking the last sentence, the entire bedroom fell silent.

Emperor Yan opened his eyes in this batch of silence, and his voice was exceptionally calm and cold, "The whole Qingzhou is colluding and cheating the world, it is really capable!"

In the silence, only a short sigh was heard, and before it was too late, Dong Hua heard Emperor Yan's calm voice, "Back off."

When everyone retreated, Emperor Yan's eyes were deep, and there was a trace of gloom and fatigue between his brows.

On the next day, the morning court was over, and sure enough Xu Hou Ye was left in the palace by the emperor, and at the same time, Xu Min Youzhao was brought into the palace by word of mouth.Along with him was Wei Pingting who suffered all night.

Outside the Golden Dragon Hall, Xu Minyou looked at the black and blue under the little bottle's eyes, it was distressing, and he threw his eyes at Wei Pingting one after another, but he couldn't get the slightest response.

"Xuan, the son of Marquis Chengen, the son of Wei Taifu is here." The eunuch's sharp voice spread outside the hall layer by layer.

Xu Minyou turned around to adjust his clothes and appearance, and turned his head to see the serious face of the little bottle.Xu Minyou screamed in his heart, the little bottle must have fallen asleep.

Fortunately, the eunuch's voice was sharp just now, and Wei Pingting managed to wake up a little bit.Under the leadership of the leading eunuch, they walked into the Golden Dragon Hall smoothly.

The Golden Dragon Hall is regarded as the emperor's study, why is it so, because the study of Zheng'er Bajing is not far from the Golden Luan Hall, the Holy One disliked the long distance, so he used the previous Golden Dragon Hall as a study.

Anyway, it's just an office location, and it's not the emperor's strike.The ministers just turned a blind eye and passed by. There is no way, what else can you do if you disagree.

That was the emperor, not his grandson.It's not a big deal, it's not worth provoking the emperor.

In this way, the Golden Dragon Palace became the emperor's new study.

Wei Pingting tried his best to answer the emperor's question, but the drowsiness came in waves.Finally, when the emperor started to ask Xu Minyou beside him, although Wei Pingting's eyelids were still clear, his spirit was long gone.

Just in time, the emperor suddenly thought of something, "I heard that you, Wei Pingting, were raised by that kid from the Wei family."

Wei Pingting was drowsy and drowsy, but he didn't react for a while, and stood there in a daze.Xu Minyou watched anxiously, and out of desperation, he reached out and pinched Wei Pingting.

Xu Minyou froze after twisting, wondering why he was so stupid.Then after hearing Wei Pingting's small exclamation in pain, Xu Minyou despaired.

Immediately knelt on the ground and pulled Wei Pingting up by the way, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Master Xu Hou who was standing on the right was about to be cried stupidly by his own son, and he wanted to plead guilty to the emperor right now.Unexpectedly, as soon as he took his right foot, he heard the emperor laughing.

"Xu Qing's family, Wei Qing's family, the children of your two families are really interesting." Emperor Yan waved his hand to signal Xu Hou Ye not to kneel, "Pingting's experience reminds me of my previous experience!"

Speaking of Emperor Yan, he looked at Taifu Wei, "Seeing the two of them now, I think of you and I who were under Taifu back then. They also look so confused, hahaha."

Master Xu Hou also smiled slightly when he heard the words, but he looked at Mrs. Wei and did not dare to speak.

Even now, he doesn't dare to resist Wei Taifu in front of his face. You must know that the emperor dared to tease Wei Taifu only after he became emperor for a few years.

But for Lord Xu Hou, that's all.

Sure enough, Taifu Wei cupped his hands lightly, and said lightly, "The emperor said so."

Emperor Yan on the imperial chair coughed, "I'm just joking." After speaking, he felt that his majesty was gone, "Ping Ting's young age is just the age of growing his body, it's not good for him to always go to bed late .”

Seeing Wei Taifu's full smile, Emperor Yan's voice changed slightly, and his tone was flattering, "Besides, Taifu is the pillar of the country, although he is strong and strong, it's better to pay attention."

"What the emperor said is very true." Taifu Wei nodded, "Thank you, the emperor, for your concern."

"It's so good, very good." Emperor Yan laughed and fooled it, but looked at the two kneeling below with unstoppable sympathy in their eyes.

After asking all the questions that should be asked, he mercifully told the two to retreat and rest in the side hall.

Liang Zhu at the side sent a piece of paper to Emperor Yan's table, and Emperor Yan, who already knew the content, glanced over, "Xu Qing's family, look at the formula of this fire/powder..."

Master Xu Hou stood up immediately, "I think you can give it a try."

"The ingredients needed for this recipe are not precious things, and that clumsy kid of Chen also made gunpowder according to the recipe.",

Master Xu paused, "It can be seen that the formula of this gunpowder has been formed."

Emperor Yan naturally knew that the gunpowder formula had been formed, and Dong Hua had delivered the finished product in front of him yesterday, but... "The power of this gunpowder seems a bit tasteless."

"Indeed, the power of gunpowder seems to be useless at the moment." Xu Hou Ye said with a serious face, "However, Your Majesty, there are many capable people in Dayan, and there are many people with extraordinary skills. It will not be long before gunpowder will be improved. , to achieve the result you want, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yan's brows stretched out, it was obvious that Master Xu's words hit Emperor Yan's heart.

"I see that Ziwei's youngest son is very clever." Emperor Yan took a sip of strong tea, "There is a vacancy in Qianji Camp, why don't you ask him to try it?"

Xu Houye was slightly stunned, "It is the duty of the minister to share the emperor's worries, thank you for the emperor's kindness."

In the side hall, Wei Pingting took a sip of strong tea, lifted his spirits, turned around and slapped Xu Minyou on the back, "You really hurt me."

Xu Minyou was also distressed, and said aggrievedly, "Didn't I see you sleepy? I was in a hurry..."

"Forget it." Wei Pingting sighed and vomited bitterness, "Grandfather taught me a lesson last night, and I really couldn't hold on in the courtroom. My grandfather's respectful teachings kept echoing in my ears."

"Don't talk about it." Xu Minyou had a bitter face, "I'm afraid our two brothers and sisters will be together tonight, my father will never let me go."

Wei Pingting didn't speak, and silently recharged his batteries.After all, his grandfather's respectful teachings are not only for you to listen to, but also for you to repeat his last sentence from time to time.

Can't tell, hehe!

"Say, should we take a step first, get some sleep, and prepare for the next battle." Xu Minyou suddenly fixed his eyes on the open palace door.

Wei Pingting immediately vetoed it, "It's not the first time for you. Today you dare to run away first. If you can run, you can't run away from the temple. It might get worse overnight."

Immediately sluggish, Xu Minyou sat back on the chair obediently, and said quietly, "You said you didn't sleep all night, why is grandfather so energetic and we are so sluggish?"

"Ask me, who am I asking!", Wei Pingting waved his hands impatiently, the irritability of being interrupted continuously made Wei Pingting irritable, suddenly thought of something, got up and shuddered on Xu Minyou's head, "That's my grandfather, what are you shouting about?" Woolen cloth."

Xu Minyou, who dared not speak out, muttered to himself, "I've been called that way since I was a child, but I'm not allowed to call it when I grow up, it's overbearing."

Wei Pingting, who vaguely heard the muttering, just wanted to shake Xu Minyou's head vigorously, to make Xu Minyou sober. He was ignorant when he was a child, but he should be sensible when he grows up!

Just lips twitched for a moment and said nothing.

On the third day after returning to Zhenyuanhou's Mansion, Xue Yi welcomed two guests who looked so dispirited that they would fall to the ground in the next moment and couldn't sleep.

"Your appearance reminds Master Ben of an animal described in Miscellaneous Notes." Xue Yi looked at Xu Minyou's dark circles, "Iron-eating beasts, like bears, small heads, numb feet, black and white, Can lick copper, iron and bamboo bones."

"Huh?" Xu Minyou, who was severely deprived of sleep, looked at Xue Yi in confusion.

"Especially the two dark circles, you guys are even worse!" Xue Yi looked at the two in amazement, they were so haggard only after being tortured.

Seeing the two of them swaying in their chairs, Xue Yi showed kindness, "Mo Yan, go and tidy up the Ningshenyuan."

Xu Minyou carefully supported Wei Pingting's crumbling head, put it on his shoulders, opened his mouth lazily and said in a low voice, "Grandpa's skill is not the same as before!"

Still thinking about teasing, I can't tell that I was drowsy just now.

Xue Yi, on the other hand, took it easy and sipped his own Longjing tea calmly.

"You helped me again." Xu Minyou said casually, fiddling with two or three strands of hair hanging from Wei Pingting's forehead.

Xue Yi calmly said with the same attitude of indifference, "I can't save a dying person." After finishing speaking, he added, "But it's true that you owe me another favor."

Xu Minyou was noncommittal, but said meaningfully, "It's hard for you to still believe in my promise."

"Hehe!", Xue Yi actually laughed, "Whether I believe it or not, I believe in myself the most. But favors are not for nothing, maybe one day they will come in handy."

"Even if you don't need it...you don't suffer a lot." Xue Yi said and stood up, "It's almost time. Seeing that you haven't slept for three days and three nights, Lord Ben Hou kindly gave you a place to sleep, please."

Xu Minyou smiled, took out a small ball of paper from his arms, and flicked it lightly with his index finger.The ball of paper drew a coincident arc in the air, and just fell into the teacup in front of Xue Yi.

A few drops of tea splashed and landed on the table.

Xue Yi moved his eyes down, and the ink stains on the ball of paper spread out, staining the whole cup of Longjing tea black in a short while.

Xu Minyou, who popped out the ball of paper, became tired instantly, his eyelids drooped, and he unsteadily picked up Wei Pingting by the waist, and was about to go out.

Just when Mo Yan came back, he bumped into Xu Minyou who was about to go out at the door.

Xue Yi looked extremely disgusted, "Mo Yan, lead the way ahead, quickly take this guy away."

"Yes." Mo Yan responded, and hurried forward to help.

"Master Hou, the third prince is here to visit." Xu Xu and Mo Yan passed by, and walked in front of Xue Yi, "It's already outside the door."

Xue Yi frowned, "Mo Yan, send him to Ningshenyuan." Then he turned to Xu Xu and said, "Get ready to welcome the Third Prince."

"Yes, my son." Xu Xu followed behind Xue Yi, his right hand swept the teacup on the table into his sleeve without anyone noticing it, and when he turned around, the teacup appeared on the table again.

The clean and clear tea water has little ripples, and the tabletop is clean and tidy.
