Try to rebel today

When Zhou Yao made a request, he was not afraid that Lai Qishu would refuse.

Although Lai Qishu didn't tell him what he wanted to know, his attitude towards him was still friendly, and he felt that Lai Qishu would not refuse.

Even if the interpretation is wrong and it is rejected, it’s okay.Rejection is never an end, it is an opportunity, a process for him to learn and enrich... He needs to do this thing, he wants to do this thing, no matter which way he goes, he will definitely be able to do it!

After thinking for a moment, Lai Qishu agreed, "Okay."

"I have a courtyard near the city wall in the south of the city. Because it is too small, I have never used it, and no one knows about it. In the past two days, I asked the housekeeper to pick two people to ensure safety and loyalty. You can use it with confidence."

Zhou Yao: "Then I won't be polite, thank you in advance."

"Your uncle has helped me a lot, so you don't have to be polite to me."

Lai Qishu is a person who always smiles and gives people a sense of intimacy. It is rare for Zhou Yao to meet someone he can trust, and he is also very relaxed. There is.

Check it out tentatively, there are still a few.

They all want to know what kind of person each other is, what kind of personality, what kind of ability...

No matter how pleasant the meeting is, there will be an end.

Zhou Yao stood up, with a narrow smile in his eyes: "I hope that when we meet next time, uncle will have news."

Lai Qishu touched his chubby belly: "It depends on fate."

"Well, fate."

Zhou Yao didn't say much, and walked out of the box with Lai Qishu one after the other.

They left after talking. They didn't choose a time, and they didn't listen to the movement outside. Naturally, they didn't know who passed by outside at any time. They didn't expect to meet Emperor Chu who was visiting privately in Weifu.

Zhou Yao had met Emperor Chu, and his memory was vague in his previous life, but he still remembered Emperor Chu's uniquely shaped protruding ears and that goatee.

But "now", has he seen Emperor Chu?

No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't remember it, so Zhou Yao decided to play it by ear.

Anyway, Emperor Chu is visiting privately in a micro-service, so if you have seen him or not, just pretend you don't know him.

Emperor Chu was not the only one who came across by accident.

There is another one, who is slowly coming from the other side, Zhou Yao also recognizes it, it is Lin Chen.

The wing room where Zhou Yao and Lai Qishu met was at the corner, and there were roads in front and back. People from both sides came and directly sandwiched them in the middle.

Here, Lai Qishu greeted Emperor Chu: "Master Chu, you have some free time today, why don't you come out and observe the people's sentiments."

On the other side, Lin Chen saw Zhou Yao first: "Zhou Zhizi? We meet again."

The voices from both sides came out together, mixed together, a little chaotic, both sides were a little surprised, walked a little closer, and just saw each other—it turned out that there were other people.

Lin Chen is not an official and has no qualifications to go to court, but he has a good background and has participated in many events, so he recognizes Emperor Chu, so he hastened to take two steps back. Souvenirs are necessary.

Emperor Chu frowned, probably not expecting to meet so many people.

But he is the emperor, and he is used to doing whatever he wants. He is the only one who makes others uncomfortable, and no one else makes him uncomfortable.

Well, because Lin Chen made a salute, Emperor Chu waved his hand, and Zhou Yao stood quietly by the side without moving or making a sound, so he didn't even give him a look.

"You old Lai, you touch fish and drink tea again," Emperor Chu teased Lai Qishu to himself, "Everyone around you is going to be busy, but you just rely on the old to sell the old and don't work, go out and enjoy yourself, without any good ideas!"

Lai Qishu was not afraid, and smiled and cupped his hands: "Isn't this our emperor's wise and powerful, clear political affairs, timely communication between top and bottom, and accurate management of affairs! My job is already free, and there is nothing to do as the year approaches, only some young people run errands. The kids are taking up space and getting in the way of me, so they kicked me out! I’m not fishing, I’m enjoying myself!”

Emperor Chu was quite comfortable being photographed, but his demeanor did not change. He still kept his hands behind his back, staring and pretending to be angry: "Still lazy! If you are so loyal, you should take the initiative to find something to do before the emperor's case, and share your worries with the emperor!"

Lai Qishu sighed: "I'm old, now it's the world of young people, look at the newly promoted court officials, not only are they all like water onions, but they make people feel good when they look at them, and their abilities are also high." Wait and see! It’s no big deal with them! When I was young, I was far behind, and it was time to hand over the stage... Besides, I don’t have any skills, I can fish, hehe... ..."

"Are you also mocking me for being old?" Emperor Chu disapproved, "You are so old, you still have ambitions for thousands of miles, how can you be so lacking in fighting spirit?"

Lai Qishu continued to entangle with Emperor Chu with a smile: "Is there such a thing as fighting spirit..."

Zhou Yao looked at it, feeling a little strange.

In his memory, Lai Qishu was a person dawdling outside the center of power. Even if he had a conversation just now, he only thought that Lai Qishu was smart, transparent, and a detached and wise person. Looking at it now...he seems to be... I underestimated others again.

Emperor Chu's posture is not at all like a chance encounter, it seems that he deliberately came to block Lai Qishu and wanted him to work out of the mountain!

What exactly did Lai Qishu do to let Emperor Chu know that he has great talent and is eager to reuse it?

Being so missed by an emperor, Lai Qishu can still comfortably do the leisure work of Honglu Temple, free and willful... It is also a skill.

"Anyway, this person can't be lazy while he's alive, otherwise how can he have energy?" Emperor Chu said, and the topic turned to Lin Chen who was aside, "Look at this Lin family boy, he's smart and capable. Everyone praises him, he is willing to work hard, he is willing to listen to anyone's advice, and he just wants to learn to serve the court...Young people are impulsive, how pleasing to the eye and comfortable? You and I, as elders, don't even have the strength to take care of them. They don't even want to show it, they are really small things!"

This is because the eldest prince and the fourth prince were not here, and it was not suitable for Zhou Yao, so he randomly asked someone to come out to meet the occasion.

However, judging from Lin Chen's past performance, he can indeed bear this praise.

"What is the virtue and ability of this junior, how can you be so blessed to have you and Mr. Lai as elders?" Lin Chen was used to being praised since he was a child, but this time it was Emperor Chu who praised him. , "Nursing is the word, I can't afford it."

Lai Qishu followed the words: "Yeah, what kind of green onion am I? How can I protect Chu Ye's junior? The big things at the top, the petty love outside, I have the ability to complement each other. I am like this, it is true." It's useless."

Emperor Chu probably thought Lin Chen was too timid, so he dragged his legs, glared at him, and looked at Lai Qishu with dark eyes: "Are you addicted to picking my reason?"

Zhou Yao, who was standing behind Lai Qishu with his eyes slanted, looked extremely unkind: "I don't think about court affairs, I don't care about official affairs, but I have time to meet young people." ..."

The eunuch who had been standing behind Emperor Chu recognized Zhou Yao, so he took two steps forward and said something to Emperor Chu in a low voice.

Emperor Chu's expression became even more sarcastic: "You actually have a close relationship with a proton? Lai Qishu, Lai Qishu, you really let me down."

Zhou Yao: ...

What happened to the proton!Eat your rice!It's okay to be shot!

Lai Qishu was not unhappy when he was stabbed, and he still smiled: "I can't help it, who told this child's family to save me? I can't be that villain who will repay kindness."

"A villain is not a villain. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. That's the right way..." Emperor Chu said, his eyes slid past Lai Qishu and fell on Lin Chen, as if there was some deep meaning.

I don't know whether Lin Chen saw it or not. He didn't apologize for dragging his legs just now, but just smiled slightly and glanced at Zhou Yao: "The proton is actually quite good. Don't worry about your family and country. You don’t have to worry about your future, it’s actually very stable from a different angle.”

Zhou Yao: ...

Be safe, you bastard!

If you want to fight each other, fight each other, don't talk nonsense without knowing the yin and yang!

He could see that, with Emperor Chu's virtue and level, the state of Chu would end sooner or later!The fourth prince is not a thing. The eldest prince looks okay, but in reality it is questionable. Even if he interferes with this kind of country and ruins it, he doesn't feel guilty at all.Well, it's better to let him play badly, get rid of Shen Ke, and be reborn...

And this Lin Chen felt a little strange, saying words that seemed to be praising and protecting others, but the effect was full of irony.

It's like he despises Lai Qishu, doesn't want to be with him, and despises himself, just a little protégé...

But before, the impression Lin Chen gave him was not so sharp.

Emperor Chu's face turned black with anger: "A useless proton is worth maintaining like one or two of you!"

Zhou Yao was so angry that he vomited blood, it's none of his business!Such a posture of lying on the gun is also very strange!

He didn't want to talk at first, and his sense of existence was low, so he was a proton, powerless, whatever he wanted to do, low-key was much more convenient than high-key, but he didn't bring this group of people to bully others like this!

After living a new life, I don’t know if it’s because I read too many books, my eyes are brighter, and I have more confidence in myself, or because I was silently cared for by Feng Jiang, and my temper has been cultivated. I really don’t want to suffer the grievances I suffered before.

Fuck your fingers and scold me!

He doesn't even need to look around this square inch of space, he has already seen what kind of food chain is here today.

For unknown reasons, Emperor Chu had a request for Lai Qishu. No matter how Lai Qishu behaved, as long as he didn't point at Emperor Chu's nose and scold his mother in person, Emperor Chu would not really mind.As for Lin Chen, regardless of whether those words were intentional or unintentional, he is also a junior who has not entered the court. He dare not contradict or offend Emperor Chu, so naturally he does not dare to disrespect Lai Qishu. Beat around the bush, 'unintentionally' stabbing.

That's easy...

Zhou Yao stood beside Lai Qishu, his eyebrows were sculpted and stretched, his smile was soft, and even the dimples on his cheeks were cute: "Thank you for your concern, whether it is useful or not, whether you are tired or not, actually I don't care much. My lord is predestined, I think it would be great to be able to live like lord Lai. You can be free, do everything as you like, and have no taboos..."

When he said a word, the expressions of Emperor Chu and Lin Chen changed subtly.

"How to grow up and how to go in the future, you still have to learn from your elders."

Zhou Yao sighed.

Lai Qishu laughed loudly, and put his thick palm on Zhou Yao's shoulder: "It's not bad, it's because Xiao Yao has vision!"

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, and Emperor Chu and Lin Chen were very embarrassed.

Zhou Yao praised Lai Qishu, and Emperor Chu had nothing to say.He wanted Lai Qishu to stop being lazy and help him in the political situation, so he had to hold back his temper and praise him!But Zhou Yao leaned so hard on Lai Qishu, how could he run on him, force Lai Qishu to feel guilty, and take the initiative to smooth things over and let him go?

Thinking of this, he became angry. The little proton Zhou Yao saw the scene clearly and knew how to fight for himself. How could Lin Chen ruin his business!

He glared at Lin Chen with dissatisfaction.

Lin Chen... Lin Chen didn't know if he had reacted, if he had reviewed himself, anyway, Emperor Chu didn't have any objection to this, nor was he dissatisfied with Lai Qishu, and it was even harder for him to express his opinion, so he tied his hands and didn't speak.

Emperor Chu was even angrier, and everyone didn't let him worry about it!

Lai Qishu patted Zhou Yao lightly, and bowed his hands to Emperor Chu with a smile: "Master Chu never forgets the people's livelihood in his busy schedule, and I will take care of you in the cold, so I won't delay your business, so I will take my leave."

Zhou Yao immediately followed him and cupped his hands: "I will also take my leave, Master Chu will do as he pleases."

The two of them slapped their buttocks and walked away so easily!

Lin Chen looked at Emperor Chu whose beard was shaking in anger, "I also...say goodbye?"

Emperor Chu flicked his sleeves, furiously said: "Roll, roll, roll - all roll!"

Soon, there was no one around the corner.

After a long time, under the pressure, the old eunuch came over and asked Emperor Chu in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's..."

Emperor Chu's eyelids were slightly closed, and the corners of his lips were slightly lifted, revealing a sarcastic smile: "Everyone is gone, what is I still doing here? Let's go back to the palace."

At this time, his eyes were deep, his expression was calm, and his majesty was revealed. He looked more like an emperor than just now.

Zhou Yao and Lai Qishu didn't travel together for a long time, and they bid farewell and separated not far outside the teahouse.

The cold wind was blowing on his body, and it was bitingly cold. Zhou Yao tightened his cloak and walked back quickly.

He summed up the whole process of the meeting, and he was quite satisfied with the result.

The disappearance of his uncle was the most painful and heaviest burden in his heart. It was remarkable to see Lai Qishu's performance. Either, his uncle might be stuck for some reason and couldn't show up, but he was safe; Be on guard, Lai Qishu really doesn't know much.

But no matter what, he underestimated Lai Qishu. This person doesn't care about everything as he imagined, he just wants to be quiet...

And that half-deliberate 'encounter' just now, it was a bit inexplicable.

What's wrong with Emperor Chu?Looks like a fool!

But this Emperor Chu, who had no power, power, or family fortune at the beginning, relied on a few wives and fathers-in-law to get to his current position step by step.

What is he thinking now?The country that I worked so hard to build, because I have no son, I can only tear it up after weighing various interests, and transfer it to the families of several concubines... So I am not reconciled and want to make trouble?

Thinking about something in his heart, he didn't remember the cold, so Zhou Yao went all the way back to the Grand Prince's Mansion, where he lived.

……

In the evening, the sky was gloomy and the wind was sharp, as if a new heavy snow was brewing.

Zhou Yao stood in front of the window with his clothes on, looking at the bleak courtyard outside, he was very worried about the little black cat.

It's so cold, I don't know if the little black cat has a place to keep warm?

He took out the dried fish again and put it on a plate.

This time, he put two small dishes, one by his bed and one by the windowsill.

That night Zhou Yao still didn't sleep well, he was always dreaming, all kinds of dreams, the torment in the dream was unbearable, but he didn't remember it at all when he woke up, only the feeling of exhaustion remained, which didn't go away for a long time.

The plate of dried fish by the bed was still full, and the little black cat didn't come.

Zhou Yao got up with a sigh, put on his clothes and walked to the window, just about to stretch and yawn, he stopped suddenly.

The small dried fish dish on the windowsill is empty!
