The next day, the two slept until the sun was up.
After having a brunch, Feng Liao said to Yong Ruo, "Come and teach me how to swim! I think, a manly man, I can't lose to a little girl like you!"
Yong Ruo was a little amused secretly: Feng Liao is a student who knows the taste by eating marrow, and the ulterior motives are not in the bar
She followed him very easy-goingly, but said: "I just had dinner, so I can't go swimming. Let's take a walk in the village first to digest the food, and then go!"
Feng Liao had no choice but to be patient and walked with her to digest food. The Zhuangzi was full of flowers and green grass, but he didn't have much interest in admiring them.
Seeing his absent-minded anxious look, Yong Ruo couldn't help but make fun of him: "My lord, don't just think about the future and ignore the beautiful scenery in front of you! If you are so absent-minded, I will be sad!"
Feng Liao tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You're right! One can't just think about the future and ignore the present."
Only then did he clear up his mood, and went for a spring outing with Yong Ruo.
After the walk, Yong Ruo asked Feng Liao: "Which soup pool shall we go to today? If you want to learn how to swim, let's go to the big soup pool outside!"
Feng Liao firmly rejected her proposal: "Let's go to the soup pond yesterday! I think it's the best place!"
Yong Ruo thought: It's really good there! It was convenient to have something happen, and it was equally convenient to take a bath after it happened. By the way, that soft couch is also very comfortable...
The two held hands and went to Xi Tang together.
This time, Yong Ruo was still changing clothes in the warm pavilion next to Tangchi, Feng Liao didn't change clothes elsewhere, but entered the warm pavilion with her.
She was still dressed in the apron and obscene pants, but this time the apron was changed to pink, and the whole person looked like a pink cherry blossom.
Yong Ruo teaches Feng Liao to dive.
As she expected, teaching and teaching, the two of them "did not do their jobs" and began to explore the "mysteries of the human body"...
In such a free, shameless life, Feng Liao's diving skills and bed skills are improving rapidly.
Within two days, he asked Jiao Tong to find a few picture albums of the Eighteen Bans, and he and Yong Ruo went through the details.
In the end, Yong Ruo had to warn him: he must be restrained when it comes to embarrassment, otherwise, the young master's body will be hollowed out.
Only then did Feng Liao slow down her pace of seeking knowledge.
On the night of March 15th, the bright moon is in the sky.
Feng Liao asked someone to set up tables, chairs and banquets in an open space beside Fu Tang, and he and Yong Ruo sat here tasting wine and admiring the moon, while the maids and eunuchs all retreated far away.
This is the two-month anniversary of their acquaintance.
The days of these two months seem to pass in the blink of an eye, and they seem to be longer than the past few years.
"Ruoruo, I've decided: I'm going to fight for the heir of the emperor!" Feng Liao suddenly said to Yong Ruo after drinking three glasses of wine.
Yong Ruo paused slightly with the hand holding the chopsticks. Then, she put down the chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, and said steadily to Feng Liao: "Then I wish you success immediately!"
Seeing that she didn't ask any questions, Feng Liao directly toasted to wish him success, and immediately felt a strong sense of happiness and satisfaction in her heart: having such a bosom friend by his side is truly worthwhile in this life!
He thought: No matter what happens in the future, he will never shrink back in fear again!
He raised his glass to touch her, and drank the wine in the glass.
Yong Ruo also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, feeling that everything from the mouth to the esophagus to the stomach was burning hot.
What they drank today was spirits, so it's actually not suitable for them to drink in such a hurry.
But this glass of wine is equivalent to the strong wine she gave Feng Liao, and she must drink it like this, because drinking it slowly will lose momentum.
Feng Liao picked up the jug, filled You Ruo's wine glass, and filled his own wine glass. "Aren't you going to ask me why?" He asked with a chuckle, full of desire to talk.
Yong Ruo flattered him like he was good at it: "Why?"
Feng Liao stretched out a hand and gently bent a finger:
"First, I don't get along well with my mother and concubine's temper, and she doesn't like you either; my second brother probably doesn't take my feelings to heart, and pampering me now is probably just a matter of face; I My sister is domineering, unreasonable, and hates you to the bone... If I stay and inherit Prince Ying’s mansion, we will be oppressed by them forever, unable to hold our heads up, and at the mercy of others for the rest of our lives. I feel bored! I don’t want to be with you anymore They're entangled!"
Yong Ruo nodded: "If you adopt him, all these problems can indeed be solved."
"Secondly, if I want to marry you as my wife and live a peaceful life with you, I must ascend to the position of supremacy. Only the emperor can overturn the stinky rules of concubines and concubines and make you a queen. Otherwise , no matter who becomes the emperor, just one imperial decree can knock you and me into the dust, and we will never be reborn forever."
Yong Ruo was not dazzled by the beautiful prospects he described, but calmly said: "This idea is very good. But if the emperor does something that violates the etiquette, those censors and court ministers will They keep writing letters. They won't let the emperor do whatever he wants."
Feng Liao smiled faintly: "Yes! They will indeed continue to write letters to remonstrate the emperor. But remonstrance is just remonstrance, not the imperial decree of the emperor. There is a fundamental difference between the two. The emperor may not listen to the minister's remonstrance; but The imperial decree of the emperor, but the courtiers have to obey it. I want to be the one who gives the decree, not the one who receives the decree."
"If the Son of Heaven does not listen to the minister's advice, he will be accused of being a tyrant and a fool, and his name will be recorded in the history books!"
Feng Liao sneered: "Those ministers must be right? If the emperor listens to his ministers in everything, wouldn't he become a puppet? In state affairs, the emperor should listen to the ministers' advice, after all, it is related to the well-being of the people in the world. But in In private matters, why should the emperor be manipulated by ministers?"
"Those ministers will say: The emperor has no selfish affairs. After all, the emperor's harem and heirs are related to the safety and stability of the country."
"My imperial uncle has no heirs. Could it be that the country is unstable now? There are too many women in the harem, which is prone to disputes, which is not conducive to the physical and mental health of the emperor."
Yong Ruo was silent, and asked softly: "You once said: the emperor controls the power of the world, but also bears the responsibility of the world. It is too hard. Do you think you have the courage and ability to take this responsibility?"
"Courage, I already have; ability, I'm not sure yet. Uncle Huang asked me to do ten hard tasks, isn't it just to test my talent and ability? After I have tried, everyone will know."
"On the road to the supreme position, there are often dripping blood, hidden arrows and open guns. So, aren't you afraid?"
Feng Liao gritted her teeth slightly, and took a long breath: "I have read so many books, how can I not know this? Before, I just didn't want to face it; now... I have the courage to face it!"
"If someone threatens you with me and forces you to retreat, will you retreat or not?"
Feng Liao was speechless: "I... I..." He couldn't imagine how he would make a choice when faced with such a situation.
"No... I won't let that happen!" he stammered.
Yong Ruo shook his head and looked at him seriously: "Nothing is impossible in this world. Before you make up your mind, you must consider this possibility first. Once you make up your mind to move forward, don't worry about it because of any Coercion, hesitation, and retreat! Because... when you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. If you shrink back at a critical moment because I was threatened, then all previous efforts will be wasted, and there is no possibility of turning around. At that time, it will be a real defeat!"
"You... don't you agree with me fighting for the position of the heir?" He said a little confused.
Yong Ruo shook his head again, and slowed down his tone: "No! If I disagreed, I wouldn't have wished you immediate success just now. Now, I'm just helping you deduce various possibilities. Before thinking about winning, think about losing first. , only then can we win a hundred battles without imperil."
Feng Liao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "You are right! Since I want to fight for that seat, I can no longer be so naive."
Across the table, he grabbed her hand and held it tightly: "Ruoruo, while fighting for that seat, I will definitely do my best to protect you. Now, even Uncle Huang knows to use you to blackmail me Otherwise, others will only be more unscrupulous."
Yong Ruo covered his hand with the other hand and squeezed it to comfort him: "Don't worry! You've known me for so long, when did you see me suffer?" She smiled, "I just keep a low profile , not as flamboyant as others."
Feng Liao took her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it, looked at her tenderly and smiled: "Ling Han's red plum blossoms are naturally not as shallow as ordinary vulgar fans."
"Ruo Ruo, you are right! Nothing is guaranteed in this world. Sometimes, you can only do your best and obey the destiny..."
He looked at her and asked softly: "If I lose, life may not be easy for the rest of my life. Fortunately, we won't have children, so no matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad. At that time, you are willing to accompany me through thick and thin ?"
Yong Ruo nodded gently but firmly: "I am willing! Is there a third reason?"
She changed the subject decisively, otherwise it would be too sad!
Feng Liao calmed down and continued: "The third point..."
He looked at her, his eyes were as soft as water, and his voice was clear and powerful: "I want you to be the most honorable woman in the world! I want you to accept other people's worship, instead of kneeling down to worship others!"
Yong Ruo actually doesn't care if she can become the most honorable woman in the world.
But now that Feng Liao is no longer wanting nothing, she will stay with him until their relationship disappears, or...her life disappears.
"Finally, the fourth point... That day you asked me to think about it: my uncle's heart or my second brother's heart, which one is more important? After thinking about it for so many days, I think that the heart of my uncle is more important. Not because Uncle Huang is the Son of Heaven, but because: Uncle Huang really treats me very well!
"When I was a child, for several years, I spent many more days in the palace than in the mansion. When I was not so busy, my uncle would often hold me in his arms, let me sit on his lap, and take Some unimportant memorials, teach me how to read, tell me some things about the court, or what I have seen and heard from all over the world throughout the ages.
"My uncle Huang taught me how to read for the first time, my uncle taught me how to write and how to ride a horse and shoot arrows for the first time, and even my father taught me how to swim.
"I lost my father since I was a child, and my uncle treats me better than many fathers treat their own sons.
"When I was eight or nine years old, my uncle Huang asked me in front of my mother and concubine: Would you like to be his son? I was very happy to say: yes! As a son, he can live in the palace every day, so he must spend more time seeing his uncle, right
"It's just that not long after, I became seriously ill and had to move out of the palace to recuperate. After recovering from the illness, the imperial uncle said that I was too old and inconvenient, so he didn't call me into the palace for a short stay. He chose a husband for me, Tell me to study hard in the mansion. For this reason, I feel sad for a long time.
"Later, when I got older, I thought: Maybe my serious illness back then was not such a common thing. After I figured out: being a son to Uncle Huang is not as simple as recognizing a father, I don't want to adopt him to Uncle Huang …”
That day, Fengliao and Yongruo chatted late.
When he returned to the room, he was not in the mood to roll the sheets. He just hugged her and said, "Ruoruo, after we return to Beijing this time, let's move back to Heng County Prince's Mansion for a long time! That way, many things will be more convenient."
Yong Ruo thought: There are indeed many advantages to moving back to Hengjun Palace for a long time.
At least, her plan to steadily increase her point income can be implemented.
But the problem is: if all the people in Ruoheng County Prince's Mansion have withdrawn from the Prince Ying's Mansion, when she goes to the Prince of England's Mansion to pay her respects to Concubine Shen or wait for her illness, Princess Xing'an and Concubine Shen, who occupy the home court, can play many tricks. Her risk factor will be greatly increased.
She said euphemistically: "I'm quite reluctant to live in Wuchen. Besides, the concubine is the elder after all... why don't we live on both sides?"
Feng Liao thought about it and agreed.
Yong Ruo said again: "If we can live on both sides, there is one thing, I think I can start to do it!"
"whats the matter?"
"It's about the Bizitang... I couldn't consummate the room with the prince before, so I was thinking: Is there really no harmless Bizitang in this world
"During this period of time, I recalled the matter of that Youfang doctor, and I vaguely remembered that the doctor seemed to have prescribed a prescription for avoiding children soup to a woman in a brothel.
"The doctor said: Take the Bizi Decoction according to the prescription, and take it for ten or eight years, and it will not damage the fundamentals of the body. If she wants to marry a good man in the future, she only needs to stop taking the medicine for half a year to a year, and then she will be married to an ordinary woman. People are no different, they can still conceive, bear children, and prolong their heirs.
"It's a pity that I was still young at that time. Not only did I not know medical skills, but I couldn't even recognize a few words. I only vaguely remember a few medicinal materials for that prescription..."
Feng Liao casually asked, "So?"
"I want to deduce this prescription and then announce it. If it is beneficial to others, it can be regarded as accumulating blessings for myself. Maybe... there will be some blessings in the future because of it?"
Because the wandering doctor said that Yongruo's heirs were difficult, Feng Liao didn't like that doctor. He instinctively rejected everything in that doctor.
But at this moment, when Yong Ruo said such words as "accumulate blessings" and "blessings", he couldn't even utter a single word to express his disapproval.
"Since you want to do it, then do it!" He sighed secretly in his heart, "But what do you want to do? Medicine is about human life, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
"It is with this in mind that I thought: first use domestic animals to test the drug."
"Is this okay?" Feng Liao was very surprised, "Does the medicine that can be used by livestock be used by humans?"
"This is definitely not. But if domestic animals are not usable, people must not be usable, right? I will first quietly find out the prescriptions that can be used by domestic animals, and then I will slowly discuss this with the adults in the Tai Hospital. Don't worry, my son, I will be cautious. Shen, you won’t make fun of people’s lives.”
Feng Liao felt that her method was unreliable.
But then I thought again: If you don't say it, you might not care about the matter of "difficulty for children" in your heart! Since she wants to accumulate blessings, let her be happy. Anyway, they are just some domestic animals, and it doesn't matter if they die after taking medicine.
He asked with great interest, "What kind of livestock are you going to use?"
Yong Ruo slowly counted on his fingers.
Pigs, dogs and cats are not good either. They have to give birth to many cubs in one litter, which is different from humans; sheep also have two or three litters in one litter, which is also different from humans. Humans only give birth to one cub in a litter, and only occasionally two or three.
Neither can chickens, ducks and geese. They are all hatched with eggs, and they are even more different from humans.
The only ones that can be used are cows, horses, mules, and donkeys.
Cows and horses... Horses are what the young master likes, and she can't bear to torment them; farm cattle are protected by the court, and she can't mess around with them. Mules are born sterile.
"...the only thing left is donkeys! Donkeys only give birth to one litter, and occasionally give birth to two. They are the most similar to humans."
Feng Liao smiled and supported: "Donkeys are often used by people to pull carts and mills. It's quite hard. If they come to test your medicine, you can avoid this hard labor. It's not bad to have a different way of life."
Feeding the donkeys with avoidant soup, and then absorbing the potency of the sterilizing drug from them, this is the most appropriate way that Yongruo can think of to gain points steadily.
Anyway, she was eating donkey meat, and she had no psychological barriers at all to absorb the power of the sterilization drug from the donkey.
Although the sterilization medicine in each dose of Bizi Decoction has limited potency, she can raise more donkeys and feed them with a formula with a high content of sterilization medicine. Accumulated over time, the points obtained must be considerable.
Accumulating less makes more, collecting armpits to make fur is the only way for many businessmen to make a fortune.
Fengliao and Yongruo lived in Zhuangzi until late March.
The one-month deadline given by the emperor is approaching, and Feng Liao is about to bid farewell to the leisurely and undisciplined days, and start to work for the emperor and test her own ability.
After returning to the capital, Yong Ruo and Feng Liao went to greet Concubine Shen, and then returned to Hengjun Palace.
Yong Ruo began to arrange for people to buy donkeys.
Feng Liao also received the first hard task entrusted to him by the emperor: go to the prison and ask Yang Jingyue where he wants to be exiled.
He thought: This job is really indescribably weird!
