She walked away Shi Shiran, leaving behind Lu Zhiyan who was stunned there.
After a long while, an angry voice suddenly burst out in the silence:
"Wei Zhi!"
The young prince Changning in the Da Sima's mansion once again had the misfortune to fall under Feng Zhiwei's hands. Feng Zhiwei left in a cool manner, but Lu Rui didn't move at all. He seemed to give up, and seemed to have great confidence in himself. He will formally see you in three days. , the two met outside first, but they just cupped their hands and smiled, walking away as if nothing had happened.
The entanglements between the big men will not be like ordinary people who calculate everything clearly and then pay back one by one. Whether to pay it back immediately, how to pay it back, or not to pay it back at all, naturally have their own certain regulations , Feng Zhiwei looked at Lu Rui's weak back, and smiled meaningfully.
Before seeing His Majesty, Feng Zhiwei, the Ministry of Rites of Xiliang, and the internal envoy had been arguing for three whole days about whether it was okay to kneel and salute when they saw His Majesty. Feng Zhiwei only agreed to bow when the other party asked for it, and the other party said that the emperor of our country is supreme. Feng Zhiwei said that I am not a minister of your country, and the other party said, would the envoys of our country also see Tiansheng Emperor and not worship? Feng Zhiwei said that the previous emperors of your family used to hold a whip and put on the side of my emperor's horse, kneeling and worshiping every time they entered and exited. Your previous emperors all bowed, how dare you not worship? After three days of verbal battles, the envoys and supervisors in the Ministry of Rites took turns to fight and all were defeated. In the end, the regent made a concession, saying that the envoys would not be worshipped. This seemed like a boring verbal dispute, but it was actually a matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The most important matter was related to the national system, when the news was sent back to Tiansheng, the emperor was overjoyed, and in the name of protecting the national system, he expedited it by 800 miles and promoted Feng Zhiwei to a first class.
Your Majesty saw that that day, the little emperor behaved a lot, but it was just a decoration on the dragon throne, but it was the empress dowager Dong who drew Feng Zhiwei's attention—this powerful woman in the harem, who was said to be powerful in legends, was not what she imagined So majestic and noble, arrogant and fierce, on the contrary, the voice from behind the bead curtain was gentle and kind, with a kind of closeness and tenderness like the woman next door. The little emperor seemed very attached to her, and what was even more rare was that the Queen Mother Dong and There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the regents, and there was a sense of mutual respect. Feng Zhiwei looked left and right, and felt that the various relations between the highest rulers of the Xiliang Dynasty were a bit out of her usual understanding, which was considered an anomaly.
What's even more amazing is that when the little emperor went to court, he actually brought Gu Zhixiao with him, and asked her to hold a box and stand next to the maid holding the fan. Gu Zhixiao had no stage fright at all, Wu Liuliu looked around, saw Feng Zhiwei looking at her, wrinkled his nose, and made a gesture of shaking his fist in the box.
Feng Zhiwei was stunned, thinking, isn't it? Could it be that the little emperor really convinced her? This man from Xiliang, from childhood to old age, is really amazing in quality.
After seeing His Majesty, it was a routine banquet, and the Longyan Palace held dozens of seats. Feng Zhiwei was already tired of this life of drinking everywhere. After the emperor came out to toast three glasses, she wanted to drag the young master around Going around, I saw Young Master Gu giving Gu Zhixiao a gesture. Gu Zhixiao, who had been dawdling behind the emperor, immediately turned around and left happily. The little emperor wanted to pull, but Gu Zhixiao raised his finger and made a prick in your eyes. The child retracted his hand in a swish, and the maids and maids all around covered their mouths and laughed. No one took the child's joke seriously, only Feng Zhiwei saw it, and sweated a little—won't Gu Zhixiao really be in the middle of the night? Pressed on the child, threatened to poke his eyes, and scared him viciously into obedience, right
For a while, I became curious about the actions of the father and daughter. Young Master Gu rarely gave any initiative to anyone, and even wanted to hide her appearance, what did he want to do
She said it was convenient, and followed the crowds of people intentionally or unintentionally, watching the two people, one big and one young, turn into the flower garden and sit in front of a rockery, Gu Zhixiao sat on Gu Nanyi's lap, the two People seem to be looking at the water to see the fish.
With the sound of fireworks exploding above her head, Feng Zhiwei walked a few steps closer and hid behind the rockery.
The father and daughter did not speak, and the backs of one big and one small were superimposed silently in the night wind, with a kind of steadfast stability, each quietly listening to the sound of carp leaping in the pond, and listening to the gentle sound of the water waves from time to time.
When these two people are together, it seems that even Gu Zhixiao likes to be quieter. She sits on Gu Nanyi's lap, looks at the fish with a serious face, points to the fish for a while, and says deeply: "This Fish are freer than I am."
Gu Nanyi also looked at the fish with a serious face. What he looked at was fish, but he kept turning his thoughts in his mind for three days, but he didn't know how to speak to his daughter. At this moment, he seemed to have finally found an opportunity, and immediately continued: " You can be freer than a fish."
Gu Zhixiao turned to look at him, his eyes narrowed into a smile, "Are you here to pick me up?" As he spoke, he was about to jump off his knees and drag him away, but Gu Nanyi held him back.
Gu Nanyi held down his daughter, carefully looked into her eyes, and gently stroked her delicate face with his fingers.
In his always calm eyes, there was a rare kind of tenderness and reluctance, as if seeing something that he loved so much in his life was about to be parted by himself in an instant.
He said, "Xiaoxiao."
This was the first time Gu Nanyi called his daughter like this, but he spoke fluently and naturally, as if he had called his daughter many times in his heart, calm and persistent.
Feng Zhiwei, who was eavesdropping behind the rockery, suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
Gu Zhixiao stared at the pair of shining pupils behind the veil, and suddenly became quiet.
After Gu Nanyi uttered the first word, he seemed to finally calm down, and his expression and tone became much smoother.
He was originally a very persistent person. When he was young, he could bury himself in snowdrifts for three days and three nights to break through barriers in order to practice martial arts. He promised to protect Feng Zhiwei for the rest of his life and he would never change. As long as he made up his mind, he would Nothing is impossible.
Today's words, he felt that the degree of difficulty was about the same as that of practicing martial arts when he was young.
"Xiaoxiao." He pressed his daughter's shoulders like an adult, and according to Feng Zhiwei's teaching, you should look into the other person's eyes when talking, and stare at Gu Zhixiao without blinking, "Daddy needs you to have a lot of freedom. .”
Gu Zhixiao also looked at him without blinking, his eyes were clear, "Freedom, Daddy."
