At dawn, Su Mingyue woke up from her dream and found that Liang Guanjing was looking at her with a smile.

Su Mingyue said hoarsely, "When did you wake up?"

"I don't know, wake up for a while and sleep for a while, and it will be dawn."

"Can't sleep?"

Liang Guanjing said: "I want to test how safe this place is, and whether Han Chengjue's people can find us."

Su Mingyue smiled, "His queen and concubine elope, will he be furious?"

"If it's really running at night, the shameless face will naturally make him angry, but if he knows about the two of us, he may not know what his thoughts are. Not to mention Ehuang and Nvying, there are also strange stories like Shan Hai Jing Poor scholars laugh at the beauty of sisters, men don't care how good the two wives are, the better they are, the more peaceful the house will be, and it will not affect the reproduction of his children anyway."

"That's right, my father also has good classmates. The two of them share the same bed and give each other handkerchiefs. My mother and later stepmother, Mrs. Ru, don't care. It doesn't affect the woman's life at home anyway. status."

Liang Guanjing smiled: "Is your father still a man?"

"He can be regarded as a talented person in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if he is not confused this year, he is still very attractive. As far as I know, there are more than two or three bosom friends outside, and there are both men and women."

Liang Guanjing sighed, "Since ancient times, men of letters have been talked about by literati. It is really good to be a man. Not to mention three wives and four concubines, there are still men who are good outside. My third brother is an idiot. He is not close to women at all. She fell out with her family because of a major marriage, and now she is drifting away and has never married a wife."

Su Mingyue became curious, "You said that he went back to the mountains and forests because he was with his girlfriend?"

"I don't know his girlfriend, or maybe he doesn't have one at all. Mama Yao's son, that is, my nanny, takes care of his daily life, but as far as I know, the two of them don't have that kind of relationship. They are just a simple master and servant. My baby brother has already married a wife and had children."

"Your third brother is really a master of the world who can't see the end of the dragon. It will be great to meet you sometime."

Liang Guanjing smiled, "It's not easy for me to meet him."

While talking, someone knocked on the door outside. It was Brother Xu's voice, "I heard some movement in the room of the two girls. I think they woke up, but they want to get up to wash up? My mother asked me to come and take care of her."

Liang Guanjing put on her clothes and opened the door to welcome her in. "What do you have for breakfast in the morning?"

Brother Xu's appearance is not very outstanding, but a pair of black and white eyeballs are rolling around, and she is indescribably clever and cute. She brought the basin filled with hot water and set it up, and put the tea pot for brushing teeth and mouthwash with salt. On the table, "My mother baked cakes and cooked red bean porridge. She said the two girls can wait a moment. Brother Lin has already gone to the street outside to buy pastries and fruits. They have just been baked, and they will be served in a while."

"Don't worry, we won't eat in the wing room, we will come down to have breakfast with everyone in a while."

After dismissing Brother Xu, Liang Guanjing sat back on the edge of the bed, "If you want to sleep, you can sleep for a while, don't rush to get up, I can't lie down, go out and walk around before coming back."

Su Mingyue held her back: "You wake up every morning to practice, even today you can't rest?"

Liang Guanjing paused, not knowing how to answer.

"Then I'll get up too and go out with you."

Liang Guanjing smiled: "Don't force it."

Su Mingyue said: "I'm full of energy now, and I really want to go out with you."

The two of them washed up briefly, went downstairs, didn't need breakfast, just talked to Yao's mother and went out for a walk.Liang Guanjing deliberately wanted to get up in the morning to exercise, and Su Mingyue would not be able to catch up with her when she ran wildly. However, in order to be with her, she walked slowly and only did some tricks, such as taking two or three steps in a narrow alleyway. Turn over the wall with a kite, or let Su Mingyue use her palms to step on her feet, she jumped up to the top of the wall with a light jump, and went to break the red plums protruding from the rich man's house.

"Good lightness kung fu, teach me!" Su Mingyue couldn't help clapping her hands.

"It's easy to teach you, but it's not easy to learn. You can't practice for ten years, and you can burn incense in the morning and evening, don't eat after noon, and practice hard every day like offering to Buddha."

Su Mingyue was speechless, "Forget it, I won't make it. You have such perseverance, you are simply no ordinary person!"

Liang Guanjing walked on the wall, and Su Mingyue followed her, "It's not perseverance. It becomes a habit after a long time. If you don't practice any day, you will feel uncomfortable." Looking around, after watching for a while, he turned over the wall and landed firmly on the ground.

"Han Chengjue's people haven't found us yet, it seems that my nanny's house is indeed safe."

The two of them walked around again, and then went back to have breakfast with Yao Ma's family of three.Liang Guanjing asked Brother Lin about his homework, encouraged him to take the provincial examination as soon as possible, and asked about the family's food and clothing expenses.

Brother Xu looked at Liang Guanjing with bright eyes, and said: "My mother said that you are a noble person, I have nothing to do in this house, can I follow you around and break out of the world?"

"Brother Xu!" Mom Yao stopped.

Liang Guanjing looked at her with a smile, and asked without answering, "How old are you this year?"

"twelve."

"When I was twelve, I was thousands of miles away from home and went into and out of the military camp. That winter my father wanted to break through the city and conquer the enemy, but he couldn't for a long time, probably because the city wall was condescending and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fortresses outside the city could not be built. , the wooden stockade can’t afford a thousand-jin cannon, and it’s freezing in the cold, blowing sand and flying soil, and I can’t do anything. I asked him to use a canvas bag to fill the sand and tie it up. The water was frozen hard, and the city wall was built overnight. , Tianming battle drums shook the sky, breaking the city in one fell swoop."

She said a few words, which made Brother Xu's heart surge, "Then I'm 12 years old and I haven't made a name for myself, is it too late?"

Liang Guanjing was serious, "It's okay, some people may be late bloomers."

Su Mingyue smiled and pushed her, "You think she's a late bloomer at the age of 12?"

Liang Guanjing was pushed back and forth, but still smiled and said to Brother Xu: "You have to ask your mother about this, right? Maybe she can't bear you."

Yao's mother said: "The Liang family's great kindness to my Feng family is hard to repay forever. Brother Xu will have a bright future with the young lady. How can I be reluctant? She will be betrothed to someone else in two years, but just A husband and a child are not much better than me. I have accumulated virtue in my previous life, so I met Mrs. Dong in the years of war and chaos. The lady is willing to continue to take care of her. You are the noble person in her life. Come! Brother Xu , Quickly kowtow to the empress!"

Brother Xu was shocked, and only then did she know that Liang Guanjing was the current queen. She immediately knelt on her knees to kowtow, and Liang Guanjing helped her up.

"Follow me, I don't dare to promise you prosperity and wealth. It's just that you have more experience and more experience. You just won't be like an ordinary woman marrying a woman and living in a square-inch house for the rest of her life. Moreover, the palace is full of intrigues and scheming. It's very dangerous. A It is possible to accidentally lose your life, have you thought about it?"

Brother Xu fell to his knees again, and kowtowed flatly, "Don't say this is the kindness of knowing you, my mother's kindness to my Feng family is as great as a mountain, and A Xu is willing to follow her around, and I will die."

Liang Guanjing nodded, "It's inconvenient for me to bring you into the palace right away today. When you go to Liang's mansion in a few days, I will write to my father and ask him to arrange for you to enter the palace. It is the way of Liang's mansion." She turned back to Brother Lin and said, "You are a male family member, so you cannot enter the palace with me. I will study for you and go to Jinling Academy in the southern suburbs. It just so happens that my younger brother Liang Qingyu is also going to study there. You are regarded as a companion in name. He He is a naughty character, remember to take good care of him, and don't let him grow into a rich and rascal."

Brother Lin knew that he had a promising future, how could Jinling Academy be accessible to ordinary people?Even the children of aristocratic families, if they are not recognized by the gentlemen and fail the provincial examination, they are not qualified to study.Now that I haven't even passed the examination as a scholar, I can follow the young master of Liang's mansion as a companion to study, and get advice from a famous teacher, isn't it just a high incense?

Liang Guanjing arranged the future of the two children, said goodbye to Yao's mother, and took Su Mingyue to the street again. After a short walk, Han Chengjue's people came to find them, and the two waited for a while before boarding the prepared The carriage went back to the palace together.

"I don't lack people there. Brother Xu, let's arrange it in your Guili Palace. Children at this age can be more caring. Except for Hong Ling, everyone else on your side is not considerate. They each have their own plans. Can't be used with caution."

Knowing that she was thinking of herself, Su Mingyue leaned on her, feeling even more sweet in her heart.

"I disappeared that night, and the emperor asked, have you thought about how to reply?"

Su Mingyue thought for a while, "It's just that I want a place to go, but it's hard to say. Liang's mansion in the western suburbs and my home are not enough. The emperor has probably sent someone to ask, before I enter the palace, I can't leave the second door. Mai, where else can we go? Do you have any good places to recommend to me? The point is, he will ask why we don’t go back to the palace.”

Liang Guanjing reminded: "You don't need to explain."

Su Mingyue stopped talking, Han Chengjue's people were outside the carriage, every word they said would be heard and reported to the Holy Majesty, she knew very well what the consequences of refusing to explain might be.Liang Guanjing reached out to hold her hand, wanting to give her some warmth and encouragement.

"One day, if you encounter a serious danger and your life is in danger, remember that all honors and dignity are fake, and life-saving is the most important thing. What riding and archery, what light work, and what physical fitness are all fake, no one can help the general of the building To turn the tide, to turn the tide, to survive is the most important thing."

Su Mingyue hugged her tightly, "Actually, I'm not that persistent about living. Maybe it's not like you wading through the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't care if I lived or died now." Not that concerned."

"I used to think that I was just going to die, but when I met you later, I thought, after all, I made it through at that time, otherwise I would not be here now." Liang Guanjing raised her chin, "Life is very long, if you survive, you will definitely die." Don't be fooled."

Su Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little sad, if one day she died, she would definitely get through it, and then she should do what she wanted and live a good life.Of course she hoped so, but knowing that it was so, she still couldn't help feeling sad.

Yes, so as long as you live, you must not die.
