Chapter 100 Family Affairs, World Affairs
"My lord, please stop talking about Yi An's poems~"
Xia Shumin turned her head and said to him solemnly: "Sister Qingzhao is a talented woman. Shumin has already listened to two good poems today, so I can't listen to any more!"
Chen Ji nodded, indicating that I understand.
It’s like a gourmet meets gourmet food, you must taste it on an empty stomach to eat the most delicious food.
Xia Shumin smiled, and was about to approach and talk to him, but Chen Ji suddenly turned his head to look outside the door, and frowned.
"Master?"
Xia Shumin's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but take a few steps closer to him, leaning on him.
"It looks like someone has entered your house."
Chen Ji felt something suddenly, just like the last time the dragon and phoenix flew from the sky, he had already noticed it before the dragon and phoenix flew.
"Is it Caifeng? When I eat fairy fruit these days, it always **** its wings and asks me for a few bites."
"No, it's still napping on the fairy apple tree, wait a minute, I'll try to take a look."
Chen Ji's spiritual perception spread out, and the phoenix dozing on a branch was particularly eye-catching. In Chen Ji's eyes, it was a mass of red fireworks soaring into the sky, which could be seen at a glance.
The second thing I perceive is the real dragon behind the mountain. It doesn’t actually have a real shape. The whole deep pool and nearby mountains have the breath of a real dragon. It is estimated that the dragon will show its real shape when it is summoned.
after.
Chen Ji's gaze was only patrolling the county guard's mansion, scanning the others one by one.
In his spiritual sense perception, there is not much difference between a maidservant and a martial arts guard, at most, the guard moves less when walking.
Xia Shumin's two twin maids practiced swords in the distant yard, chatting chirpingly.
There are at least 300 guards in the mansion, distributed around, guarding the inner courtyard.
Xia Yongcheng is not there, it seems that he is still working in the city.
It was Xia Yongcheng's mother, Lu Rui, who was chatting with two men in a room, probably entertaining them.
"Are you entertaining men as guests at night?"
Chen Ji knew from Xia Shumin that her mother was a heroine back then, but now she is the wife of the sheriff, so she had to avoid it.
Unless absolutely necessary.
For a while, the person who sneaked into Xia's house would not be able to be distinguished, so Chen Ji concentrated his attention and listened to what the county magistrate's wife and the two men, one old and one young, were talking about.
"Auntie, this time my nephew came to Yongkang County under my uncle's jurisdiction for three things."
The young man's tone was gentle, and he said respectfully: "My nephew dare not hide anything, so I will tell my aunt all about it."
Chen Ji couldn't help laughing, he was thinking too much, it turned out he was the little lady's cousin.
The room was quiet for a while, and Lu Rui seemed to be in deep thought.
"What did the young master see?"
Xia Shumin asked.
"It's nothing, I haven't found anyone yet."
Chen Ji paused for a moment, then smiled at her and said, "So your cousin came to visit your house."
"cousin?"
Xia Shumin categorically denied: "Shumin has no cousin. My father was born in a humble family, the only son in the family, and there are very few relatives... As for the mother, there are even no relatives. You misunderstood, sir?"
"Impossible, what is that young man calling your mother an aunt, not your cousin?"
"ah?"
Xia Shumin was stunned.
Chen Ji didn't like to spy on her family affairs, and when he was about to divert his attention, he heard the old man say with a slight smile in a shrill voice:
"Seventh princess, I haven't seen you for many years. Zajia misses the time when the princess lived in the palace. It's a pity that since the princess entered Wenxiangu and left the capital, we have been separated for more than 20 years. Zajia is getting older every year. , and almost missed seeing the most beloved princess of the late Emperor."
"Princess?"
Chen Ji said it subconsciously, and looked at the graceful little lady in front of him.
"Princess?"
Xia Shumin was completely stunned.
"Young Master, tell me something!"
After regaining consciousness, Xia Shumin pulled Chen Ji to sit down, and looked at him eagerly.
The news that her heroine mother is actually the current princess is no less than a bolt from the blue to her.
If it weren't for the young master being a fairy, she would never know about it if she heard about it by chance!
"Should I keep listening?"
Chen Ji asked with a smile.
Xia Shumin, who was standing in front of him, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Young master, just listen, and I will explain to mother later."
The little lady who was kept in the dark was angry.
"That's OK."
Chen Ji continued to look at the three people, "Since Shumin is from the royal family, your cousin probably led troops to Yongkang County Prince Lu Huai, I guess right?"
Xia Shumin frowned, "The prince came to visit at night, and he specially chose a time when my father was in the city, so my father didn't know about it?"
This is where it gets interesting.
Even the husband doesn't know his wife is a princess.
"Eunuch Liu, don't say what you love the most, it's the most headache."
In the room, Lu Rui's tone was flat, "I lost the face of the royal family back then. He wanted to kill me, right? It's just because I can barely do martial arts, and he doesn't want to make things big."
"Princess, you must have misunderstood."
Eunuch Liu persuaded: "The late emperor already knew about you sneaking out of the palace, but kept silent all the time. Isn't this because he loves you very much, princess?
Princess, you have an amazing talent in martial arts. You are self-taught by relying on the collection of books in the palace. Senior Wenxian has not accepted apprentices for more than 30 years, but you, princess, still worship in his valley. After hearing this, the late emperor laughed out of relief. , scolding that Qiyatou is promising now, and it is impossible to return to the palace to fight against him. "
Lu Rui fell silent again, wondering if what he said was true or false.
Chen Ji could tell that this Eunuch Liu was trying his best to ease the relationship between Lu Rui and the royal family, so he should have something to ask of her.
"Eunuch Liu?"
Xia Shumin nodded after hearing about it and said, "It should be Liu Xian, the emperor of the Three Dynasties. I didn't expect him to come to Yongkang City."
"Can eunuchs also be emperor teachers? Or three dynasties?"
Chen Ji was a little surprised, the old **** had lived long enough.
"Why not?" Xia Shumin explained: "Let's not talk about Eunuch Liu's cultivation as the supreme master, eunuchs have been in power since ancient times, not to mention grand masters and grand masters, even if they are called nine thousand years old, there are quite a few emperors."
"Abolish the emperor?"
"No and no~"
Xia Shumin's voice was crisp and full of smiles: "The **** is the emperor, and the other is the emperor."
Chen Ji understood.
During the upper court, the **** stood and the emperor sat, and the two corresponded.
Inside the house in the distance.
"Auntie, what do you think?"
Prince Lu Huai asked warmly, it seemed that he had always treated Lu Rui as his aunt, and ignored the affairs of his previous generation.
"His calculations are pretty loud."
Lu Rui's tone was sarcasm: "I also want to surrender or kill the real dragon and phoenix, and I want to kill a group of Jiang Hu people, and I want to find a way to become a land god. Why, he also wants to open the gate of heaven and live for 10,000 years." ?”
Eunuch Liu's eyes burst into a bright light: "Princess knows about Tianmen?!"
Lu Rui looked at him coldly.
Eunuch Liu looked at her for a while, then shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "The miscellaneous family has lived for more than a hundred years, for nothing but to live. Emperor Taizong once said with emotion to the miscellaneous family when he was alive. Long live forever, only by becoming a **** can the country of Zhao be preserved forever. Although the miscellaneous family has lived for a hundred years, they are still ordinary people, how can they be exempt from the ordinary?"
"Eunuch Liu also wants to kill the real dragon?"
Lu Rui said flatly.
"Slay the real dragon?"
In the lake outside the door, a figure standing on a small island in the lake chuckled and repeated her words.
In the back house, Chen Ji was also chuckling.
This man who sneaked into Xia's house and was dressed in black was finally found by him!
