"I've never seen you two have such a tacit understanding on weekdays." Sili dissatisfied and handed the teacup to the boy beside him.
Gu Liyou and Mu Jiufeng looked at each other with disgust and immediately looked away.
Mu Jiufeng came closer, patted Si Li, and said in a low voice: "This kind of treatment is not even comparable to that of the Empress Dowager. Aren't you very touched to be served by such a handsome and talented young master?"
Ye Sili rolled her eyes at Mu Jiufeng, but said very cooperatively: "Yes, I am probably the first in the world to be served by these two great Buddhas in person. This little girl is so grateful that she has nothing to repay!
"
Gu Liyou watched the two of them get addicted to drama again. After they had a fit for a while, he said, "Where was the horse yesterday?"
Only then did Si Li remember that he had something serious to do today, so he followed Mu Jiufeng in.
Mu Jiufeng pointed to the horses in the stable.
"It's been like this since I came back."
Si Li looked at it, then walked closer, looked at the horse, and reached out to touch its head. The horse didn't react at all, it just stared at the ground blankly, like... like a person who was absent-minded.
Look.
"What's wrong with it? Is it lovesick?" Ye Sili pointed at the horse and turned to ask Mu Jiufeng.
Mu Jiufeng held his forehead.
Gu Liyou stepped forward and said, "This horse must have been drugged."
"How do you know?" Mu Jiufeng's eyes widened and he looked at Gu Liyou in surprise, "I specifically asked the doctor, and the doctor also said so, but I don't know what the medicine is, but how did you know?
?”
Gu Liyou opened the door and entered the stable, looked around the horse, and finally bent down and pinched some powder at the horse's leg. It was very small, so small that it could be described by the number of grains, and it could not even be seen by accident.
"What is this? Drug?" Ye Sili asked, looking at the powder on Gu Liyou's fingertips.
"It should be." Gu Liyou pinched it with his fingers, and the fine powder floated into the soil, never to be found again.
When Mu Jiufeng saw this, he hurriedly wanted to stop it.
"What are you doing? Keep these so the doctor can check what they are."
Gu Liyou patted the fine dust on his hand, took Sili's handkerchief and wiped it clean, and said lightly:
"What's the use of testing it? Do you think you need some rare medicinal materials to stun a horse so you can find the person behind it?"
Ye Sili touched his chin, observed the horse carefully, and asked: "If it was stunned, how did the other party transport it away and then bring it back? Could it be a few strong men?"
Were they carried away by Han shouting slogans?"
This is obviously impossible. Not to mention whether they were carried away or not, if the movement is slightly louder, Gu Liyou, Mu Jiufeng and the others would not be able to notice it at all.
Besides, the other party wouldn’t carry the horse away and then bring it back intact, right? After eating, why don’t you come to the countryside to lift the horse to eat?
Ye Sili crossed her arms and tapped her chin with her fingers. What she couldn't understand was... what was the purpose of the other party putting so much effort into it? Just to trap them in the suburbs for a night?
Suddenly, Sili's eyes darkened, he put down his hand and said to Gu Liyou:
"Ayou, that flute sound..."
At the same time, Gu Liyou was also looking at her, and their eyes met, which was self-evident.
"Hey, hey, what are you two doing? What have you thought of? Why are you playing riddles with me here?" Mu Jiufeng took a few steps forward, stood between the two of them, and said dissatisfied.
Ye Sili patted Mu Jiufeng's shoulder, sighed, and said: "Hey, Jiufeng, after so many years, under the influence of Ayou and I, why hasn't your brain improved a little bit?
"
"Speak carefully and don't attack me personally. After all, I am the most talented person in Kyoto. Why do you say that I am so unsound?" Mu Jiufeng slapped Si Li's hand away unceremoniously.
Si Li pursed her lips in disdain and said, "The most talented person in Kyoto? Did you remember it wrong? Who doesn't know that the most talented person in Kyoto is Zi Yu?"
"But don't be disappointed. After all, you are the most talented person in Kyoto." Si Li "comforted" Mu Jiufeng with a serious look on his face.
Mu Jiufeng said angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't call me Ziyu, Zhou Zizhen is just a stubborn scholar, don't call me so affectionate all day long, a girl doesn't know how to avoid suspicion.
"
Seeing that he was talking about it again, Ye Sili didn't bother to argue with him. Mu Jiufeng was like this. He hadn't seen Zhou Zicheng since he was a child. He always said that Zhou Zicheng was a stupid person who only read the sages' books all day long.
Pretending to be cool and noble.
Mu Jiufeng was not a small-minded person and would not maliciously slander others, except Zhou Zixu.
The reason for this was that Ye Sili glanced at Mu Jiufeng and didn't want to hit him again.
Ye Sili, Mu Jiufeng and others have been studying together in the Imperial College since they were young because of their status. They have known Zhou Zizhen since they were young. However, Zhou Zizhen is really "other people's children".
He was good at everything. He was studying poetry at the age of three, writing policy papers at the age of five, his chess skills were unrivaled at the age of seven, and his ink painting at the age of nine attracted the admiration of literati all over the world...
As for Mu Jiufeng, it was obvious that he had never been in shape since he was a child. He almost dug through the walls of the Imperial College.
One day, he couldn't stand Si Ye who was shaking his head and thinking, "What's the matter?", so he slipped away very skillfully, climbed up the ladder flexibly and lay down on the wall. He was about to lift the ladder up and put it outside the wall so that he could go down.
As a result, the unlucky child kicked his foot and accidentally kicked the ladder down. When Mu Jiufeng was lying helpless on the wall, unable to get up or down, he saw Zhou Ziyu, who had just returned from sick leave a few days ago!
At this moment, Mu Jiufeng felt that Zhou Ziyu was a living Bodhisattva. He quickly waved his hand. When Zhou Ziyu approached, he explained the situation to Zhou Ziyu in a low voice and asked Zhou Ziyu to lend his hand to help him lift the ladder.
As a result, Zhou Zizhen stared at Mu Jiufeng for a long time, and finally said, "Because it's not easy for you to climb so high, I won't report you to Si Ye." Then he turned around and left, leaving Mu behind.
Jiu Feng lay alone on the wall for nearly two hours. He was not "rescued" by Ye Sili and Gu Liyou until school ended at noon.
In fact, this was nothing. Mu Jiufeng thought that Zhou Ziyu had just recovered from a serious illness and was too weak to hold up the long ladder. As a result, in the afternoon of that day, Si Ye found out about his climbing over the wall, and he was fined a full fifty yuan.
After reading the Tao Te Ching, you must know that for Mu Jiufeng, this was more uncomfortable than killing him!
From then on, Mu Jiufeng decided that Zhou Ziyu was a two-faced and despicable person!
Damn, Ye Sili felt that Zhou Zizhen was indeed unjustly accused. They could clearly see Mu Jiufeng lying on such a high wall that day in the yard. She and Ayou originally wanted to save him, but in the end
Si Ye stopped him and waited until noon before allowing her and Ayou to let him down.
Ye Sili also explained this matter to Mu Jiufeng, but Mu Jiufeng refused to believe it. She was making excuses for Zhou Zixu, so he even bet with her for two days and felt sulky.
"What did you two discover?" Mu Jiufeng asked impatiently when he saw that neither of them spoke.
"We're not sure yet, but you'll know when the time comes." Sili smiled mysteriously and asked him a riddle.
——
Three days later.
"Jiu Feng, Jiu Feng, hurry up." Si Li stood at the door of Ning'an Hou Mansion, urging Mu Jiu Feng who had not left the house.
Mu Jiufeng lowered his head, adjusted his clothes, and hurried out.
"How's it going? You're not late, are you?" Mu Jiufeng tied up the jade pendant around his waist.
"I asked Huan Xia to remind you yesterday, but you ended up oversleeping! Today is a palace banquet. Do you want the civil and military ministers and foreign envoys to wait for you alone?" Sili was also convinced.
Mu Jiufeng didn't delay at all, and the two of them quickly got into the carriage.
Mu Jiufeng looked at Gu Liyou in the carriage and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"Grandfather has entered the palace first. Tell me about you. You are like a little girl all day long, going out and lazing around." Sili looked at the time and saw that she should not be late.
Mu Jiufeng didn't care much and leaned lazily in the carriage and said: "Don't wrong me, little girl. A little girl like you is not lazy at all."
"..."
When Gu Liyou and his party arrived at the palace, it was a little late. Many officials in the hall were greeting each other, and the princes and princesses had also attended and taken their seats.
Ye Sili looked around for a week and didn't find it strange. Although princes and princesses are not allowed to participate in politics, today is a palace banquet, called to welcome envoys. In fact, it is to highlight that our DPRK attaches great importance to them, treat them with courtesy, and also to show to the envoys
I invite you warmly and have a broad mind. I hope you appreciate it!
Although these are common tricks used in interactions between countries, Ye Sili likes to join in the fun. Even if you are idle at home, you might as well go to the palace to hang out.
As soon as Ye Sili and others entered the main hall, they saw Xiao Ling, whom they had not seen for several days.
Xiao Ling also saw them at a glance, and immediately walked over quickly holding up the hem of her skirt. After all, it was a palace banquet. There were many people and everyone had to remember their identity. They should not act recklessly. If Xiao Ling was usually
He must have rushed over to give Ye Sili a bear hug early, but now he could only hold up the hem of his skirt and speed up his pace a little.
"Si Li, you are late, let me wait!" Xiao Ling walked up to Ye Si Li and looked around Si Li carefully for a while.
Ye Sili felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at her. She also looked down at her clothes, touched the hair accessories on her head, and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"Sili is naturally the prettiest, but I was arrested and brought back to the palace last time I returned to the city. I haven't been able to find a suitable time to sneak out of the palace to find you in the past few days. These two people didn't know how to give me a message.
, which makes me worried about you." Xiao Ling complained and glared at Gu Liyou and Mu Jiufeng who were standing beside Si Li, "Fortunately, you are not seriously injured."
