Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks

    The laughter of the people outside came to an abrupt end.

    Hua Yue felt that her expression was relatively calm, but her neck was a little hot, so she didn't start, and whispered slightly annoyed: "There are people outside."

    Li Jingyun stood up straight with a light cough, looked up and asked, "Is there anyone?"

    "No." Su Miaowen Guzhi and others answered in unison.

    Flower Moon: "…"

    The man in front of him smiled smugly, rubbing the tip of his nose against her face and said, "Did you hear, no one."

    A paw slapped him away, Huayue pinched her sleeves angrily and jumped out, her figure was so fast that he couldn't catch it.

    The curtain at the partition lifted and fell, brushing past his face, soft and mushy.

    Too much teasing? Li Jingyun retracted his hands angrily, stood up straight, and went out to stare at the culprits.

    "It's none of our business." Catching his gaze, Su Miao shook her head, "I can't handle my own woman, who is to blame."

    Wen Guzhi lost his laugh, leaned on the edge of the table while laughing and said, "This is the first time I saw a girl who the third master couldn't hold."

    "It's not just that I can't hold it, I'm afraid that it will be held by others." Liu Chenghe sighed, "Third Master, don't look outside, you ran away."

    Li Jingyun withdrew his gaze, sat back on the main seat and looked at the few people in front of him kindly.

    The back was slightly cold, Wen Guzhi and the others all restrained their smiles instantly, only Su Miao was still giggling, and the crisp voice echoed in the main room, which was particularly pleasant.

    "Cousin." Li Jingyun rarely called her affectionately.

    The laughter choked, Su Miao frowned slightly, slowly closed her mouth, and bowed to him solemnly: "Cousin, I have been busy recently, and I may not be able to take any orders."

    "Really, that's really a pity." Li Jingyun picked up the tea and shook his head regretfully, "I also said that I wanted you to go to Yongqing Temple with Shen Zhiluo for a few days."

    "Hey." Su Miao said quickly, "I'm free, I'm free for this matter."

    "But." She was a little puzzled, "Well, why did Zhiluo go to Yongqing Temple?"

    "You have to ask His Royal Highness the prince." He pursed his lips, "I used to be so fond of Lord Shen, but suddenly someone has to move out of the palace."

    With a serious look, Su Miao got up and walked to his side, frowning slightly: "You must know."

    "Biao~brother~" Su Miao rubbed her hands and acted coquettishly at him, "I was wrong, I will never laugh at you again, you tell me, I will definitely go to my sister-in-law to give you beauty Yan, I praised you so much, and I will give up on you after taking care of my little sister-in-law."

    "She's also giving up on her father now." He corrected displeasedly.

     "

    Placing the teacup, Li Jingyun got up seriously, and said in a low voice: "Recently, there has been rumors in the court that some old Wei ministers are secretly forming a party, and the prince has strictly investigated the matter, but there is no evidence. I don't know why your Lord Shen has made him dissatisfied, and since he is also an old official of the Great Wei Dynasty, the crown prince asked him to go to Yongqing Temple to pray for blessings."

    It is said to be praying for blessings, but in fact it is to move in, and I don't want to let him stay in the East Palace.

    Su Miao frowned again and again: "His Royal Highness's suspicions are really serious, it's been so many years since the Great Wei Dynasty was destroyed, why are you still worried about this stubble, if nothing else, there is no one left in the Great Wei royal family. What's the use of the old ministers even if they form a party?"

    "I don't blame the crown prince for being suspicious." Xu Changyi said, "There have been frequent incidents in the East Palace recently, and the old Wei officials who have pierced the center of the court have frequent contacts. Although they are all normal human exchanges, But the prince can't help but think about it."

    Wen Guzhi pondered for a moment, then chuckled: "It's a coincidence, Xue Ji was killed before, and then Situ Feng was also exiled. Qi suffered, there should be something to say."

    "Could it be that there's something to do with it?"

    "It's not easy to wonder if it's the remnants of evil?" Wen Gu knew, "There is also a Kang Zhenzhong in the court who is also effective in destroying Wei. If someone moves, can you follow the path?"

    Li Jingyun listened in silence, her eyelids half-closed.

    "Cousin." Su Miao couldn't help but ask him, "What do you think?"

    Returning to God, he sneered: "What can I think, they have nothing to do with my general's house, and they are happy."

    This is true. Previously, the eldest princess and the prince seized power. In order to compete for the power of the general mansion, the two sides dragged Li Jingyun into the quagmire. At that time, the general mansion was really precarious. To do the wrong thing.

    Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and looked out worriedly.

    ***

    Jinghua entered the summer, all the courtyards and prefectures began to build grape trellis for the masters to enjoy the shade, Huayue stood in the courtyard to supervise the work.

      They can't explain it when they die on the road."

    Hua Yue chuckled: "Okay, I didn't want him to die on the road, so I asked him to go to Huizhou to live, and then go see him when things go smoothly."

      .

      Hua Yue feels that this is pure nonsense. When the grudge is big enough, it is difficult to quell the hatred in her heart. Why should she step on her own wound to influence a person who has done something wrong? Revenge for vengeance, vengeance for vengeance.

    She hates to hear people say "what's the difference between what you do and a murderer", the difference is big, one is sinister and harming nature, and the other is just revenge, confusing the two to persuade people to let go The one who killed the knife was not a Bodhisattva, but an accomplice.

    Hua Yue returned to her senses and said inexplicably: "It's related to him. If it wasn't for him, how would I know that Long Rin bribed Luo Zhong."

    "No." Shuang Jiang shook his head, "The slave's meaning is that the third son discovered this matter at the beginning, so he collected the evidence in advance."

     Her expression moved slightly, Huayue looked around, pulled her back to the corner of the courtyard, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

    "On the ninth day of April, Long Rin had a secret conversation with Luo Zhong in Qifeng Tower. He was overheard, and the guards around him chased him out. He only saw the back of the man, saying he looked like the third son of the Li family. I asked the shopkeeper of Qifeng Tower that day and said that the third son was not there." Shuang Jiang said, "Long Rin also suspected the third son, but there is no evidence, so he can only leave it alone."

    April 9th? Hua Yue raised her eyebrows and suddenly remembered the maid next to Han Shuang.

    Biezhi once asked her where Li Jingyun went on the ninth day of April. She was wary, saying that he didn't go out at the mansion, which fooled her.

    In this way, that maid is really not a simple servant, she actually listens to Long Rin's orders, and it is fortunate that she didn't say anything.

    On the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, she was taken to Qifeng Building, and Li Jingyun was there, that is, the shopkeeper of Qifeng Building helped to lie, and he listened to the conversation between Long Rin and Luo Zhong Only after going, did he have the whole body to retreat now.

    Hua Yue suddenly felt very curious, in addition to Luo Zhong's criminal evidence, is there anything else hidden in the Qifeng Building, and he can take it as he wants?

    "Young concubine." The housekeeper came to the courtyard, glanced at the grape rack that was about to be set up, nodded with satisfaction, and then pinched the clothes and said, "Sir, I want you to come over."

    "Okay." Huayue responded, let Frostfall continue to guard the grape trellis, turned around and followed the housekeeper.

    Since she was accepted by Li Jingyun as her concubine, the general seldom summoned her. The last time she was called was to ask about the situation of the son in prison, and he seemed quite dissatisfied with her.

    Hua Yue can also understand, originally, she was placed in the East Court to keep watch over the young master, so that he could marry Miss Han smoothly, who would have known her shameless little hoof It became the biggest obstacle to the marriage between the two families, and she was not killed because of her past credit.

     Stepping into the study, Hua Yue honestly knelt down and salutes: "Please say hello to the master."

    Li Shoutian sat behind the desk, just "um", and then said: "I found Jing Yun for the position of the Forbidden Palace Dispatching Order, you have told him the past few days, just follow me. Get out and about."

    Slightly startled, Huayue was a little surprised, the forbidden palace was released, that is to go to the palace, and it will be difficult to return to the palace in three years and five years. How could you suddenly want him to take such a position?

    Aware of her confusion, Li Shoutian hummed lightly: "The imperial examination will be done soon, once the martial arts test is over, there will be a lot of talent in the DPRK and China, don't say the order, the guards may not have his share. , it is better to let him enter the palace in advance than to do nothing for a lifetime."

    "..." The word mediocrity is too inappropriate for Li Jingyun.

    If it was before, Huayue would definitely do it without saying a word. After all, being a slave, the master's words are bigger than the sky, and she has always abide by her duty. But now, she felt that the general underestimated Li Jingyun.

    Sighing softly, Hua Yue said softly with consideration: "The general does not consider letting the son try martial arts?"

      If I get an official position, I can be considered worthy of the ancestors of the Li family."

    He glanced down and said solemnly: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, and don't want to be separated from him? But he's a man's family, and he always has to make achievements. He hasn't taken office yet, so you'd better get pregnant earlier, lest there will be no successor in the Li family."

    But when she got up and walked out of the study, she still felt unfair for Li Jingyun. In Li Shoutian's eyes, he might just be a **** who ran out all day or even got into trouble, but she knew that the third son I have my own ideas and my own achievements.

    He is no worse than any one in Jinghua.

    Pushing open the door of the east courtyard, Huayue stepped in and saw Li Jingyun feeding the white deer.

    Compared with the time when it was hunted on the mountain, this deer is cleaner now, and its fur is brighter. It rubs his hand and eats sesame cakes, with big watery eyes looking straight at her.

    Li Jingyun followed its gaze, raised her eyebrows lightly, and jokingly said, "The bride is back."

    Packing up her emotions, Huayue walked over and said angrily, "What bride."

    He hooked his lips: "You and I saluted in front of it. In its eyes, you are the bride."

    White Deer nodded as if he understood.

    Hua Yue choked and shook her head helplessly. She took the deer back to the fence in the backyard, and then poured water for Li Jingyun to wash her hands.

    Li Jingyun looked up at her while washing: "Who bullied you?"

    With a guilty conscience, Huayue said in a low voice, "What bullying, it's not good to be a concubine."

    With a snort from the tip of his nose, he wiped his hands and pulled her into the room. He took the bronze mirror and put it in front of her: "Look for yourself, you look pretty good?"

    Hua Yue snapped her glasses, hesitated for a while, then raised her eyes and asked him, "Have you ever thought about entering an official position?"

    A look of surprise crossed his eyes, Li Jingyun leaned on the dressing table and thought for a moment: "My father got me an errand?"

    "..." Can you guess this? Hua Yue couldn't help but picked up the mirror and looked at her face again. Could it be true that what the fifth prince said was written on her face?

    After looking for a long time, she didn't see any result, she lowered her head in frustration: "The general has asked you to disperse the forbidden palace and take charge of the palace guards."

    This job is easy, there is no fear of life, and the salary is not low. Li Jingyun carefully looked at the person in front of him, and couldn't help but stretched out his index finger to lift her chin and rubbed her lips Ask: "Isn't it a good job?"

    Hua Yue Wearing a brocade and waiting for death, it is like wrapping the sharpest knife on the training ground in silk and putting it away.

    But the anger was only for a moment, she looked at the relaxed expression of the young master, and said flatly: "It's very good, decent."

    The smile in his eyes deepened, and his thumb stroked the corner of her mouth again and again: "You are not happy with such a decent job, eh?"

    "I'm happy, my concubine is going to buy two strings of firecrackers and hang them at the door to congratulate my grandfather."

    Li Jingyun couldn't help but bowed her head and pecked her.

    "Young Master!" The man in front of him was immediately annoyed, and his eyebrows stood upright, "In broad daylight, what kind of manner do you have."

      Being close to him is the top priority.

    After thinking for a while, he sat on the soft couch next to him and hooked her hand: "Come here."

    Hua Yue looked at him alertly, and dawdled in front of him step by step: "What is your command?"

    "Aren't you curious if you have thought about becoming an official?" He turned his head, reached out and nodded his face, "Kiss here, and I will tell you."

    Hua Yue said "Huh?" in disbelief, folded her hands, and nodded gracefully: "Young master, it's up to you whether you want to be an official or not, why do you want to be a concubine? Therefore... the son is too worried."

    Flower Moon dismissed the beginning.

    However.

    After the room was quiet for a while, someone blushed in anger, leaned over and quickly pecked him on the face, then took three steps back and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Alright. Please make it clear, sir."

    Li Jingyun burst out laughing, the indigo sleeve robe shook into a ball with him, Xu was too happy, he supported the low table next to him and touched the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, three or two strokes Then she drew out the embarrassed expression she had just kissed him.

    This is unbearable or unbearable, Huayue is about to tear it up, but he raises his hand high, and he pounces on it and fails to grab it.

    "Young Master!" she shouted angrily.

    Li Jingyun restrained the curvature of the corners of his mouth, but the smile still ran out of his eyes. He held her hand, smashed the few strokes into a ball at random and threw them out of the window, and then softly comforted: "Throw it, don't worry."

    However, with a master like Li Jingyun, the gods and Buddhas can't keep smiling. She clutched his sleeve in shame and stared at him.

    "Hey, okay, don't you ask me if you want to become an official? I'll answer you." He said sternly, "No."

     Huayue got up and wanted to leave.

    "But—" He grabbed her finger with a backhand and chuckled, "I haven't finished speaking yet, but since everything has been arranged, then I have to do something."

    I shook his hand in an angry manner, Huayue said: "Young master doesn't need to do anything, there is a general to pave the way, just take the post when the time comes."

    Let her throw it away, he didn't let go, he just touched his chin with his other hand: "Is it the kind of person who can't leave the palace at will once he takes office?"

    "Yes." She said, "Before you go, you should also say goodbye to Madam."

    Thinking of Madam, Hua Yue's heart softened by two points. If the son goes into the palace, Madam will be very sad, right? Although I can't see him very often in the mansion, I can still deliver soup and water, and I can listen to him say a few scenes during the festivals. If I really want to leave, I can't hear it for a long time.

    After hesitating for a moment or two, she turned around and took his hand: "How about taking some time, and my concubine will accompany you to the main courtyard?"

    Li Jingyun pouted in displeasure: "At the beginning of the three chapters, you promised not to force the Lord to go to the main courtyard."

    The man in front of him turned his face away in resistance, and let go of the hand that held her.

    Hua Yue smiled and went around to him to greet him: "It won't take much effort."

    "Don't." He turned his face to the other side and said in a sullen voice, "Master is not happy when he goes to the main courtyard, why should you make yourself unhappy?"

      son."

    The soft tone, with a little coquettish ending, made him almost uncontrollable.

    Glancing at her out of the corner, Li Jingyun still snorted coldly.

    Long line, big fish.

    Sure enough, the big fish's eyeballs turned, and suddenly had an idea, leaned forward and kissed his face again.

    The corners of his mouth couldn't help turning upwards, he coughed lightly, his face hesitant.

    Thirty-six strategies, the beauty strategy is the best strategy, Huayue secretly praised her intelligence, and then held his face several times like a chicken pecking rice.

    The Adam's apple moved slightly, Li Jingyun looked at her with deep eyes, suddenly turned her back on the guest, clasped the back of her head and covered her lips.

    The person in his arms was very sensible and did not struggle, and even took the initiative to loosen his teeth.

    The sweet prey noticed and froze slightly.

    He raised his eyebrows, calmly restrained his breath, and gently comforted her with his lips and teeth.

    The prey gradually relaxed its vigilance and returned to a docile and soft appearance.

    "Young Master." At the moment of separation, Huayue begged him softly, "Go?"

    Hua Yue shivered, stretched out her hand to push him away, clutched her neck and stepped back, and said in a panic, "This servant will prepare something."

    Every time she went back to the east courtyard, she had to bring jewelry from the Baolai Pavilion. A few days ago, he bought her a few boxes, which were all piled up in the side room of the east courtyard.

    Huayue went to look for it. He didn't know what to think, so he got up and went to look.

    She was not surprised when she saw him following, she reached out and handed him the top boxes, and went to look at the jewelry below.

    The wooden box is stacked high, and the top one contains a pair of unfinished boots.

    Li Jingyun took it, opened it and glanced at it.

    Originally only half of the upper was embroidered, but now the embroidery is complete, and the thread ends are clean and beautiful, only to be sewn together with the sole.

    Closing the lid without a trace, he stopped and smiled silently.

    The man in front of him was still thinking: "In fact, as long as you give something, Madam will be happy, but if you talk to her as much as last time, Madam will be able to Happy for a long time."

    "Originally, my concubine wanted to be with you, and my wife was not happy, but because of your beautiful words, my wife never blamed anything. Think about it, isn't it very good? cost-effective?"

    As she spoke, she took the hairbrush and looked back at him: "Master?"

    Li Jingyun returned to his senses and responded casually: "I see."

    After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Actually, there is another way to make her happier, but you don't want to do it."

    Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, then frowned in disapproval: "As long as it makes Madam happy, why would a concubine be reluctant to do it? Young master, talk about it."

    After thinking for a while, Li Jingyun shook his head: "Forget it, it's really inappropriate."

    "What's wrong with this." She got up in a hurry and said, "You talk first."
