Huaiyu is slightly cool

Yeluliang, the envoy of the Qiang Kingdom and the great general of the Qiang Kingdom, looked mockingly at Mo Ziqi, the prince of the Zhao Kingdom, and said sarcastically, "We will not send troops during the mourning period of the Jing Kingdom, and the Zhao Kingdom is over."

The prince, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, darkened when he heard the words, and glanced at Prince Xirong Wanyan Shaohong, who was also looking very ugly, but he just glanced at Yeluliang, and didn't say much.

Wanyan Shaohong fled to Jingguo because his uncle seized the throne, and wanted to ask Emperor Jing's support to borrow troops to take back the throne for him.It's a pity that just arrived in Jingguo's capital, before meeting the saint, it happened that the old lady, the emperor, was driving to the west of Hexi. During Jingguo's national mourning period, Jingdi Wu Mingtai rested for three days.And now, they just came down from the court hall and came to Yanshou Palace to offer sacrifices to the old lady, the emperor.

Zhou Huai was also dressed in plain clothes, and was standing outside the sacrificial shed set up by the gate of the Yanshou Palace in the courtyard. After entering another sacrificial shed with a cold face, he said lightly, "It's all over."

Wearing filial piety, the eldest princess came out of the sacrificial tent next to Zhou Huai alone, and happened to meet Zhou Huai. The two looked at each other. The eldest princess was slightly taken aback, and then left without stopping.

Zhou Huai withdrew his gaze from looking at the eldest princess, glanced at the rows of sacrificial sheds, and after hesitating, he quickly followed the eldest princess.

The eldest princess ignored Zhou Huai who was behind her. She went straight back to Yongle Palace, and collapsed on the bed after reaching her room.

Zhou Huai followed in, and saw the plain princess lying on the bed with no blood on her face, without taking off her shoes and filial gown.Zhou Huai went over to help her take off her shoes, and took the handkerchief that the servant girl had just twisted out of the warm water. While helping the eldest princess untie her skirt, she wiped her face and neck, while peeping at the other party's expression.

Ever since the old lady passed away, the Eldest Princess had a look of restlessness in her brows, and at this moment, the Eldest Princess had dark circles around her eyes, staring at Zhou Huai with dry, bloodshot eyes.

Zhou Huai looked back blankly, and saw that the expression on the eldest princess's face suddenly changed from sadness to anger.She grabbed Zhou Huai's collar violently, pulling Zhou Huai's body down, and fell directly on top of her.

Before Zhou Huai could cry out in surprise, he heard the eldest princess gritted her teeth in her ear and said, "He has acted."

After hearing this, Zhou Huai got up indifferently, and tore off her slender hand that was holding onto her neckline. While scrubbing carefully with a handkerchief, he replied casually, "What are you afraid of?"

The eldest princess stared at Zhou Huai, raised her head and said fiercely: "The prison is almost full!"

Zhou Huai laughed, and replied with a relaxed face: "Then kill it."

A cold light flashed in the eldest princess's eyes, she fell back on the bed again, and stopped talking.

Zhou Huai didn't care about the eldest princess's appearance, and she still had a smile on her face. She handed back the handkerchief in her hand to the servant girl, and waved her hands to signal the maidservants who were close to her to go out as well.

Those maidservants glanced at the eldest princess, seeing that the eldest princess didn't have any instructions, so they hesitated or retreated slowly.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai smiled with satisfaction, then sat on the eldest princess's bed, crossed his legs and said, "They are just insignificant people, what about it?"

"That is the foundation of the country." The eldest princess said with a dazed expression, but her eyes slowly moved from Zhou Huai's body to the top of the tent, and then stopped moving.

Zhou Huai waved his small hand in front of the opponent's eyes and said, seeing that the opponent still didn't respond, he shrugged and said disapprovingly: "You think too highly of them, they are just tarsus maggots."

The eldest princess stopped talking and closed her eyes, obviously not going to talk to Zhou Huai anymore.

Zhou Huai was not about to leave, but moved closer and continued, "Did the minister who pulled the cage before you get implicated?"

Seeing that the eldest princess still didn't respond, Zhou Huai continued, "You're just too impatient, so your efforts were in vain, right? Since ancient times, there have been emperors and courtiers. Before the situation is clear, don't choose the capital if you want to pull the cage. Now They're all in prison, and it's hard to get them out."

"Why don't you leave?" The eldest princess was very impatient with Zhou Huai sitting next to her.

Zhou Huai has always been very calm and patient with the eldest princess, so she was not annoyed when she heard this, and still asked with a smile on her face, "I'm leaving, what are you going to do?"

The eldest princess cast a sideways glance at Zhou Huai, but replied coldly, "Go see him."

"It's useless."

Zhou Huai was sure, but the eldest princess refused to give up, and said stubbornly: "How will you know if you don't try?"

The upright and strong eldest princess has the mind of helping the world and saving the country, so she is so active in wanting to do something for the imprisoned ministers.But Zhou Huai only thinks that those ministers are like dogs, not worthy of helping, but Zhou Huai finally said: "Well, you can try it. Anyway, as long as I still like you, he shouldn't kill you. Is it you?"

There was some helplessness in Zhou Huai's tone.The eldest princess did not answer her words.

Zhou Huai looked at the silent and stubborn eldest princess, and sighed softly.Whenever she and the eldest princess have different views on the same matter, Zhou Huai always compromises first. Although Zhou Huai's judgment will always be the most correct, the eldest princess's stubborn temper is still a frequent offender.Zhou Huai got up helplessly and left, while waiting for the eldest princess to come to her on her own initiative in a few days.

Sure enough, within a few days, the 'ill' Zhou Huai waited for the eldest princess to visit.

Zhou Huai lay on the bed, looking at the eldest princess in front of him.The other party looked haggard and looked more like a patient than the 'ill' Zhou Huai.At this time, the other party was standing by the bed and looked at Zhou Huai coldly, but he pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak.

"So unconvinced, why do you still come to me?"

The eldest princess opened her pursed mouth, and finally replied in a low voice: "The prince has been kneeling outside the Golden Luan Hall for two days."

Zhou Huai understood what was wrong with the bull's head.The meaning of the other party is probably: I am not willing to come to you, but only for the sake of the prince, for the stability of the country, and for the righteousness.So I am still the righteous, mighty and unyielding eldest princess!

Zhou Huai retaliated angrily at the eldest princess: "What's the use of kneeling outside the Jinluan Hall?! As a man, why doesn't he have the viciousness to fight desperately?"

The eldest princess' face changed suddenly, she looked around at the maid in the outer room, and then said coldly in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Upholding benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, and respecting the king, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth are the etiquette and way of being a human being."

Zhou Huai looked at the other party's serious expression and frowning eyebrows, and deliberately said nonsense: "You mean that I am not human?"

The eldest princess took a deep breath, knowing that telling Zhou Huai these principles of governing the country and the world is no different from playing the piano to a cow, so the eldest princess didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "Are you willing to take care of this matter? Or are you actually His words are of no use to him? Then what you said about your relationship with him is that you are making up and lying to me!"

Zhou Huai rolled his eyes directly: "I will definitely succeed immediately, but what benefits do I have?"

The eldest princess had been prepared for a long time, and directly took out her piece of jade fish.

Zhou Huai glanced at the jade fish in her hand, but didn't reach for it, but asked, "Give it to me?"

"Lease, return it to me before you return to Yunzhou."

"Then let him kneel for a few more days, otherwise how can we show the prince's benevolence? You go back first, don't send it away." After Zhou Huai said this with a sneer, he pulled up the brocade quilt on his body, Close your eyes and prepare for your lunch break.

"You!" The eldest princess was extremely angry, but she was speechless.She only felt aggrieved in her heart, and she couldn't help lamenting the injustice of fate.Why is it that I am so busy every day, while Zhou Huai is idle like a salted fish, but sometimes she has to come to her for inquiries or help?When the eldest princess thought of this, she wished to smother the person in front of her to death, and then pointed at the sky and cursed: What is the law of heaven? !

Zhou Huai closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and no longer cared about the eldest princess.In fact, Zhou Huai maliciously speculated whether the eldest princess really cared about the lives of those officials in her heart of helping the world and saving the people.Because for the royal family, thousands of miles of land belong to her Wu family, and everyone in the world is a slave.As for Wu Mingtai, as an emperor, as long as there is no river of blood, then a killing is not a big deal to support the overall situation.A great country, is it still afraid that no one can use it?The reason why the prince is anxious is just to save his power from being affected and gain his reputation.Perhaps the eldest princess came to Zhou Huai at this time because she was worried that the prince's kneeling for a long time would damage his health.In other words: everything is still under control.

But Zhou Huai's idea was to fish in troubled waters, so how could he miss this rare opportunity to blackmail the eldest princess?What Zhou Huai wanted was more than the piece of jade fish in the hands of the eldest princess, so she waited for the situation to deteriorate. It was best to wait until the prince and Jingdi Wu Mingtai got impulsive, and then asked the eldest princess to pay a "high price" to ask her to come forward to dissuade Wu Mingtai, so this Once, she said that she would not accept the deal from the eldest princess.

Seeing that Zhou Huai really didn't pay attention to her anymore, the eldest princess clenched her fists, endured and endured, and finally stomped her feet and walked away quickly.

In the afternoon, an autumn rain came silently, and the buildings and buildings in the deep palace seemed particularly silent and desolate in this cold mist.

In the low and dark evening, Zhou Huai rubbed his drowsy forehead after sleeping all afternoon, listening to the pattering rain on the branches and leaves outside, leaning on the pillow and lost in thought.

A maid came in to report that the eldest princess was coming, Zhou Huai frowned and looked up, and saw the angry and helpless eldest princess had already entered the room, but she was just sitting at the table far away and staring at Zhou Huai. , Some of the maids poured tea for her, and they all retreated quietly, and the room fell silent again in an instant.

Neither of them spoke.Zhou Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, only rubbing his temples.The eldest princess sat quietly for a long time, and finally lowered her head to Zhou Huai: "Why are you willing to help?"

"Bending your pride so quickly?"

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Zhou Huai looked at her quietly, the eldest princess still had a stubborn look on her face, and she still refused to say "beg" in a low voice.

Zhou Huai got up, walked to the eldest princess, looked at the eldest princess seriously and asked, "I can help you get everything you want, but what can you give me?"

The eldest princess sneered and asked, "Then what do you want?"

"You!" Zhou Huai spat out the word jokingly.The eldest princess froze for a moment, frowned, looked at Zhou Huai coldly, and asked in confusion after a long time, "Why?"

Zhou Huai didn't understand the other party's meaning at once, and she asked a little slowly: "What?"

The eldest princess continued to speak slowly: "There is Zhang Yan who is so beautiful, Liao Qiwei who is so talented, and Wu Mingsheng who is virtuous and gentle. You should be familiar with these people, why did you find me? If you are really his child, Don't get involved with the people of the Wu family anymore!"

Zhou Huai smiled wryly and shook his head when he heard the words, staring into the eldest princess' eyes and said: "Unless you can win the big position now, the person who will marry me must be named 'Wu'."

The eldest princess deliberately ignored Zhou Huai's previous sentence, and just asked: "If you have to choose the Wu family, then the sixth princess's natal family is also a first-class family. They have good looks and temperament, and are similar in age to you. Why not her?"

Zhou Huai laughed again, looked at the eldest princess, blinked slyly, and teased, "Is your highness the eldest princess forcing me to confess?"
