Around five o'clock in the morning, Liu Mingzhi woke up from his sleep.
As he said yesterday, go to bed early to get up early.
Liu Mingzhi rubbed the dirt at the corner of his eyes with his fingers, gently lifted the corner of the quilt on his body, and groped his way out of the bed.
As soon as he landed on the ground, the beautiful lady's inquiry sounded from behind him.
"Da Guoguo, you're up."
Liu Mingzhi stood up and looked back at Ren Qingrui on the bed.
Through the faint light coming from the small window in the hall, he could barely see clearly that the beauty was using her right arm to support half of her body.
"Hehehe, yes, I got up and woke you up."
"oh!"
Ren Qingrui yawned, stretched out her hands and sat up holding the brocade quilt on her body.
"No, my sister has woken up several times before.
Later I saw that Da Guoguo hadn't woken up yet, so I fell asleep again."
Liu Mingzhi found his way to the table, picked up the match on the table, and lit a candle skillfully.
All of a sudden.
Amid the faint crackle of the candlelight, the hall instantly became brighter.
As soon as Ren Qingrui and Liu Mingzhi's eyes came into contact with the bright light from the candle, they subconsciously squinted their eyes.
It took a few breaths before I finally got used to it.
Liu Mingzhi put down the matchbox in his hand, opened his arms and stretched his body, then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of herbal tea.
Ren Qingrui pulled the brocade quilt to cover her graceful and graceful jade body, and gently moved forward a few times.
"Da Guoguo, are you planning to get up now?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of herbal tea, then turned to look at the beauty and nodded with a chuckle.
"Hehehe, that's right, I slept for half a day and a whole night, so I've had enough sleep.
Lying in bed and being idle is idle, it’s better to get up early.”
When Ren Qingrui heard Young Master Liu's answer, she subconsciously raised her jade neck and looked out the small window.
Seeing that the sky outside the window was still dim and hazy, she turned her attention to Young Master Liu again.
"Da Guoguo, it's not dark yet outside."
"Brother, I know."
"But, didn't you tell Brother Liu Song yesterday that you are not allowed to disturb you until the sun rises?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beautiful woman's confused look, raised his brows and smiled lightly.
Then, he put down the bottomed teacup, stood up, and walked towards the washing rack not far away.
"Girl, you have to know that sometimes, you can only see the truest picture of some things by quietly taking a look at them yourself.
When you are surrounded by a large group of people, you cannot see the real side."
Hearing Young Master Liu's seemingly pointed words, Ren Qingrui was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.
"Da Guoguo, you didn't say what you said to Liu Song, but did you want to use his mouth to say it to your uncle and uncle?"
Young Master Liu casually picked up the toiletries on the washing rack and turned back to give the beautiful woman an appreciative look.
"Hehehe, if you don't tell me, girl, you are so smart!"
"So, Da Guoguo is planning to have a private visit incognito?"
"Private visits incognito are not considered. I just want to take advantage of the fact that it is still early and plan to walk around the streets outside the palace to see the true appearance of this royal city."
Ren Qingrui rolled her eyes gently a few times, pulled off the thin brocade quilt covering her graceful body, and turned over to get off the bed.
"Da Guoguo, my sister will go with you."
"Hmm? Girl, do you want to go with us?"
Ren Qingrui put on her shoes, nodded to Young Master Liu with a slight smile, and walked straight ahead to the hanger where her clothes were hanging.
"That's right, sister, I'm just like you, Daguoguo.
Anyway, I am idle, so I might as well go for a walk on the street with you."
Hearing this, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded.
"Okay, then come and wash up.
By the way, brother, do you need me to go to your place and get you some clean clothes?"
Ren Qingrui turned her head to look at her sweetheart, chuckled and shook her head.
"Da Guoguo, no need, sister, I'm not that delicate.
Just wear it for now, it won’t be a problem, and it won’t be a big deal if I change it after I get back.”
"Well, okay then."
Ren Qingrui nodded slightly, took off the underwear on the hanger and put it on directly.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the graceful and exquisite figure full of infinite beauty in every move of the beauty. He quickly withdrew his gaze and started to wash up directly.
It took about as long as one stick of incense.
Young Master Liu and Ren Qingrui, each carrying a lantern with flickering candlelight, walked slowly and unhurriedly towards the outside of the palace.
After the two of them walked out of the palace one after another, Ren Qingrui saw that there was no one outside the palace, and she turned to look at Young Master Liu with a look of surprise on her pretty face.
"Hey, Da Guoguo, uncle and the others didn't even arrange a guard for you."
After Liu Mingzhi looked around for a moment, his eyes rolled slightly.
Then, he chuckled and shook his head, picked up a lantern and walked towards the arch of the palace.
Ren Qingrui saw this and hurriedly followed.
"Girl, they did this intentionally, just to make it convenient for me and my brother to go out for a walk.
Otherwise, if there is one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps.
As a brother, I am just catching up with some old brothers from the past, so I have to say that I may not be able to get out of the palace gate until daybreak."
Ren Qingrui, Young Master Liu, said this. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately understood the meaning of his sweetheart's words.
"Da Guoguo, are you saying that uncle, uncle, brother Huyan and others have already guessed that you will pay a private visit incognito?"
"Hehehe, silly girl, each one of them is a veteran of several dynasties.
Which of these old foxes can be a fool?"
After hearing Young Master Liu's explanation, Ren Qingrui nodded with a clear expression, and then looked at Young Master Liu with a troubled expression.
"Da Guoguo, between you monarchs and ministers, you are a little too calculating, aren't you?
By the way, aren’t you tired when you look like this?”
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked around, and saw that there was light in several palaces and houses full of Dalong style. He turned his eyes happily and glanced at the beauty.
"Silly girl, you don't understand, this is exactly the best way for monarchs and ministers to get along.
It is not good for the monarch and his ministers to get along too clearly and clearly.
It’s also not good to be too defensive when getting along.”
Ren Qingrui's pretty face was stunned, and she subconsciously frowned her delicate eyebrows.
"Ah? Why is this?
Shouldn't it be a good thing for the monarch and his ministers to get along more clearly?
You know, whether it's in dramas, various storybooks, or various folk rumors.
The harmony between the king and his ministers is a story worthy of being passed down through the ages."
Seeing the puzzled faces of his family members, Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl, you also said that it was a situation recorded in dramas and storybooks, or in folk rumors.
In fact, the stories between monarchs and ministers that can be passed down through the ages are not as simple as you think.
Girl, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is too clear and clear.
No matter whether you are a king or a minister, both sides will have no sense of security.
To put it simply, people who know too much often don’t end well.
Especially the matter involving the emperor's family will not end well.
If it is more serious, then not only will it end badly for you, but it may even involve your beautiful woman.
In this case, do you think they dare to get along too clearly as brothers?"
"But, my uncle and uncle know everything.
For example, as it is now, if my uncle, Brother Huyan, and Uncle Wanyan knew nothing, they would naturally not make such an arrangement."
"Hahaha, silly girl, you have to know that pretending to be confused is also a kind of confusion.
Brother, I know they are being confused, and they themselves know that they are pretending to be confused.
Likewise, they also know, and I know they are pretending to be confused.
However, it is precisely because of this situation that we can get along so harmoniously and without any scruples."
After Ren Qingrui clapped her fingers and muttered a few times, she looked at Young Master Liu with a strange expression.
"Hahaha, the relationship between you two is really complicated."
"Hahaha, silly girl, it's rare for you to be confused."
"Da Guoguo, what if we get along too defensively?"
"Silly girl, would you trust someone who is always on guard against you and always on guard against you?"
"Well, of course I won't.
There are people who are always on guard against me. Sister, let alone trust him.
Whether I will deal with them or not is a question."
After Ren Qingrui instinctively answered her inner thoughts, she suddenly reacted.
"Hehehe, that's fine then."
Ren Qingrui changed the lantern with flickering candlelight in his hand to another hand, and nodded as if understanding.
"Oh, my sister probably knows what happened."
"Hehehe, it's good if you understand, it's good if you understand.
So, whether it is between monarch and ministers, or between friends.
When getting along, you must have a good sense of proportion.
Only by grasping this balance can we continue to get along very harmoniously.
In other words, it’s just four words.”
Ren Qingrui transferred the flickering candlelight lantern in her hand to her other hand, and turned to look at Young Master Liu with curiosity on her beautiful face.
"Huh? Daguoguo, which four words are spread?"
"Tacit understanding!"
"Tacit understanding?"
"Yes, it's tacitly understood."
"Is it that simple?"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled a few times, turned to look at the beauty and nodded noncommittally.
"Hahaha, yes, it's that simple.
Back then, as a brother, it was because I didn't have a good sense of proportion that I ended up in a situation where the king and his ministers were at war with Ye'er.
At that time, as a brother, I really wanted to repay the kindness of my father and eldest brother and their two generations of late emperors, and I wanted to help Dalong unify the world as soon as possible.
However, as a brother, I only focused on repaying my father and eldest brother for their kindness, but I ignored the feelings of Ye'er, the new king.
At first, I thought he was a brother.
With my brother, I led hundreds of thousands of cavalry thousands of miles to rescue him, and tried my best to assist him in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. This child should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of my uncle, brother.
Unfortunately, brother, I was wrong.
Because of the various experiences this child has had since childhood, he has already become very sensitive in his heart.
Brother, it was precisely because I ignored this point that what happened later was that I raised an army to rebel.
At the beginning, apart from the sadness and helplessness in my heart, I also felt somewhat dissatisfied.
I think that for most of my life, Liu Mingzhi, for the sake of the country of your Li family, I have put my wife and daughter in the second place, and I have to go all out to help Dalong unify the world.
What's the result? What's the result?
In the end, he ended up being jealous of the emperor and his ministers.
At that time, I was still young, and it was the time when my spirit was at its highest.
When faced with such a situation, how could I be happy as a brother?
Girl, tell me, as a brother, I am obviously loyal, and I am always thinking about how to help Dalong and help your Li family’s royal family dominate the world.
As a result, I received such treatment, how could I not feel dissatisfied as a brother?"
"Da Guoguo, you..."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand directly, interrupting the beauty's words.
"Girl."
Ren Qingrui's words stopped abruptly and she nodded gently at Young Master Liu.
"Da Guoguo, keep talking, my sister is listening."
Liu Mingzhi took out the dry tobacco bag from his waist with a melancholy expression, and was about to open the bag and fill it with tobacco.
Immediately, he paused slightly, thought for a moment, and put the tobacco bag back on his waist.
"Da Guoguo, what are you doing?"
"Hehehe, don't you sisters always persuade me to smoke less as a brother?
In this way, for my brother, if I can avoid smoking, I will try my best not to smoke."
"Oh, Da Guoguo, my sister and I are just telling you to smoke less, but we are not telling you not to smoke at all.
If you want to have a pot, then come and have a pot."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at the beauty, chuckled and waved his hand.
"Hehehe, I won't smoke anymore, I won't smoke anymore."
"well."
"Now think about it, as a brother, Ye'er and I, if each of us could have given in to each other, how could we have gotten to where we are today.
In other words, as a brother, I was not so...
Hahaha, hahaha.
I won’t talk about it anymore, I won’t talk about it anymore, it’s just a matter of the past many years.
Saying it again now makes no sense."
Listening to the emotional tone of her sweetheart, Ren Qingrui walked to Young Master Liu's side with gentle steps.
"Da Guoguo, sister, I don't know how to advise you.
All I can say is that you should be more open-minded about these old things."
"Hahaha, silly girl, you don't have to worry about me, brother, I have already looked away."
"Da Guoguo, look quickly, it's the palace gate. We've arrived at the palace gate." ()
