humble minister

On a certain day, more than a month away from the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the weather was just right. Lian Ying originally planned to go to the Yipin Study Room to read the newly arrived books after the morning court. Today's Prime Minister Li Qing.

Li Qing smiled when he saw Lian Ying, and there was a bit of embarrassment in his smile, hey, if it wasn't for His Majesty's future happiness, he wouldn't be in a hurry, after all, the left minister hasn't forgiven him that day Accidentally "leaked" identity.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I never expected to meet you, Prime Minister Zuo!" Li Qing stepped forward and put his hand on Lian Ying's shoulder naturally, looking like a good brother His posture didn't match the serious court clothes on him at all.

Even Ying glanced at this road that courtiers must pass every time they go to court, and did not dispel Li Qing's far-fetched words. On the contrary, he felt that this person was really interesting as always, so he couldn't help but follow his words and said: "Yes. Ah, what a coincidence, I thought Prime Minister Right would meet the General first."

The smile on the corner of Li Qing's mouth faded, and after a moment of loneliness, he suddenly realized that not only did he understand the other party's mind, but the other party also knew his own mind. Isn't there something in these words?At this time, he really didn't have the heart to deal with these two people anymore, and his own affairs were still being cut and messed up.

"That idiot has been lucky recently. He's very busy. He rushed back immediately. How can he meet him?" Li Qing hesitated lazily, and then changed the topic on purpose, " I don’t know where Brother Lian is in a hurry to go?”

After hearing his answer, Lian Ying sighed inwardly, but his own emotional problems have not yet been resolved, so how can he comfort others?So he didn't ask any more questions, but replied: "Not long ago, Yipin Study just bought some new books, I'm going to have a look, Brother Li, would you like to go with me?"

Li Qing chuckled, the reappeared leisurely posture made Lian Ying heartbroken, this is really a free and easy person.

"Thank you, brother Lian, for your kindness, but that's unnecessary. Li Taibai said well, 'Life is full of joy, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon', while you are young, you still have to have fun and enjoy it, you Yipinzhai has entered a new book, and my Nanling Building has also entered a group of wonderful people. Don't talk too much, don't talk too much, and enjoy yourself in time is the right thing to do~"

Lian Ying didn't know what the "Nanling Building" Li Qing was talking about was, but he had an intuition that it was not a good place. Looking at Li Qing's current situation, there was a trace of exile and broken cans behind Li Qing's free and easy way.

"If you can't get it, then you don't have to force it, and you don't have to exile yourself. The road of life... is not just this one, why bother to go one way to the end, in the end it is yourself who will end up with all the injuries." Endured, Lian Ying continued.

Li Qing knew the meaning of persuasion in his words, but when Lian Ying said this, was he persuading him or himself?What's more, he didn't give up...

"Brother Lian is so confused, how will you know if you don't try? Hurt as soon as you hurt, it's better than regret in the end!"

Lian Ying looked at Li Qing's back as he left in a cool manner, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Perhaps today even the heavens did not allow him to read those good books easily. Not long after Lian Ying left the city gate, he ran into Jiang Chongzheng who was in a hurry, and wanted to leave secretly but did not want to be caught by him. with.

"Hey, Mr. Lian, what are you doing hiding from me?" Jiang Chongzheng caught sight of Lian Ying who was about to turn around, as if he didn't see the embarrassment on his face, and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment, " Brother Lian, have you seen that surnamed Li?"

"The one whose surname is Li? Brother Jiang is talking about Li Zuoxiang, right?" Lian Yingjian couldn't avoid it anymore, so he simply smiled, "I have seen it before, but Zuoxiang has always been very busy, and now I want to go and enjoy myself in time." gone."

Li Qing, Li Qing, why don't you let me help you.

Lian Ying thought to himself, and there was an ambiguous smile on his face. Seeing Jiang Chongzheng's expression of bewilderment and resentment for a while, he felt that maybe what Li Qing said was true and his love was good, so he just wanted to help him to the end. Alright.

"I seem to have heard Prime Minister Zuo say that he is going to a place called 'Nanling Tower'. It must be a good place to enjoy himself. If the general has nothing to do, he can go and have a look."

Even before he could finish his reply, he saw Jiang Chongzheng's face darkened, his face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, Li Qing, he actually went there, a majestic official, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

Before he could leave with Lian Ying, Jiang Chongzheng left angrily, and the direction he left was undoubtedly the same as Li Qing's.

Lian Yingxiao looked at his back, and felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in matching a beautiful couple, and now she went to Yipin Study with satisfaction.

It's just that he is satisfied with others, but for himself, he can't tell...

Although Jiang Chongzheng is not someone who seeks flowers and asks willows, he is a mature man with needs after all. It is absolutely impossible to say that he does not know any of the brothels in the capital, and this "Nanling Building" is also Thanks to one of his subordinates with special hobbies, he knows so much.

As far as Jiang Chongzheng himself is concerned, he was really a straight man who couldn't be straighter. At first he was shocked and disgusted when he knew that there could be such a secret relationship between men, because he really couldn't understand those people. What's so good about not liking a white, tender, fragrant and soft woman, but preferring to like a man who is as tough as himself, and between men... how to do that kind of thing?

But you can't exclude others because of this special hobby of your subordinates, right?So after the initial shock and disgust passed, Jiang Chongzheng adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye and closing one eye. Anyway, it is enough not to affect the military discipline and military appearance.

Besides, this matter is not so unusual in the Northern Dynasties, otherwise there would not be such places as "Nanling Tower", so in the end, Jiang Chongzheng did not hate this matter so much. But he himself still hopes to marry a caring and lovely person in the future.

He thought so, so he took it for granted that the men around him thought the same way.So someone is not as sensitive as Li Qing, who has noticed the strange atmosphere between his emperor and the right minister early on, let alone Li Qing, who has known him for many years, cooperated with him for many years, and hurt each other for many years. people.

Jiang Chong rushed to Nanling Tower full of anger. At first he was angry with Li Qing for not being able to claim his identity, but for coming here to have fun, he really lost the face of the court ministers; then he was angry with Li Qing Not doing his job well enough, he hastily arranged a blind date, ran over to help him with some political affairs before even seeing the girl's face clearly, how could he have imagined him!

Well, Li Qing, it seems that you are still leisurely? !Really, really didn't take me seriously!

In the end, even Jiang Chongzheng himself didn't know what he was angry with. In short, this anger was mixed with too many things, including anger, disappointment, resentment, and some things that he himself didn't understand. In short, it made him feel stuffy, swollen, and very angry.

Nanling Building is one of the best romantic places in the whole capital. It not only provides knowledgeable and interesting pretty girls, but also soft, delicate and good young ladies.Because of these, it was possible to quickly gain a foothold in this capital in just a few years.

Li Qing was sitting safely on the private seat, sipping the tea provided in the building, listening to the gurgling music behind the curtain, but what lingered in his ears was the clear and melodious singing of the well-known gentleman Xia Ying——

"The water chestnut flowers are all withered, and the wind blows the smoke; the past flies with the clouds, and the youth is far away from the city; I once recalled that the flowers in the hometown are like brocades, and the plums are green around the bamboo and horse windows; Skinny..."

Li Qing put the teacup on the table, tapped the table with one hand to beat the time, squinted his eyes and listened quietly, gradually, a trace of sleepiness surged up, and fell asleep amidst the singing.

As soon as he woke up and opened his eyes, Li Qing saw a magnified, very delicate and moving face in front of him.

The man seemed startled by Li Qing's sudden waking up, he couldn't help but took a step back, but still frowned and asked worriedly: "This official, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Qing didn't return to him for now, but looked at him steadily, and found that this man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was very handsome, with a good temper and a good singing voice, no wonder he was the number one here .

Xia Ying saw that the young man in front of her was staring at her all the time, her face turned red, and she hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, my servant is a little worried when I see you haven't made a sound for a long time, so I come out to have a look, fortunately, the official is just sleeping caught."

Hmm, didn't you expect this boy to be very kind?

In his heart, Li Qing silently added another advantage to Xia Ying. To put it bluntly, he was actually building himself up psychologically. If he really wanted to be with this person later... that would be fine.

Thinking of this, Li Qing was startled suddenly, heck, originally he just came here to sit and calm down, by the way, maybe he might get angry with that idiot, he never thought about doing anything, but how could he be like that now? idea?

Li Qing glanced at the teacup calmly, sure enough, no matter what building it is, the custom of adding ingredients to the tea is unavoidable.No wonder he was a little sleepy just now, and now he is still a little hot, and the faint body fragrance from Xia Ying's body made him a little drunk.

"You, stay away from me." After a long pause, Li Qing still said.

Although Xia Ying didn't know where she had offended the official, she retreated obediently, and stood obediently in front of Li Qing, not saying much.

Seeing Xia Ying's obedient appearance, Li Qing felt a sense of abrupt beauty, and couldn't help stroking his forehead, it seems that the effect of this medicine is not weak.Right now, whether he is going or going, it would be embarrassing for him not to speak, so he can only pick and choose some unimportant and unexcessive things to ask.

Xia Ying was a little strange to Li Qing's attitude of only asking questions, but he wisely didn't ask too many questions, but answered his questions one by one very sincerely.

When there was nothing left to ask, Li Qing finally couldn't sit still. Seeing that it had been some time, the heat on his body had also gone down a lot. Why don't you just go back first, although this kind of thing cost a lot of money, there is nothing to worry about. It's an unpleasant feeling to not be doing anything.

As soon as Li Qing got up, he heard the noise coming from downstairs. After hearing the content of the noise, he couldn't help but smile, and sat back leisurely, hooked his fingers to Xia Ying who was a little dazed in front of him, and said, "You, come here .”
