Originally, the death of a small hundred households would not even make a splash if thrown into the big lake in the middle of the capital. But if the label of the East Palace was added in front of these hundreds of households, it would be completely different.
No one in Beijing can find out how His Highness Yu has lived in the past ten years. The conflict between Dong Palace and Jin Yiwei has long been buried. Everyone thought that Tang Jin's incident would become a trigger this time, but in fact it did not. No.
Jinyiwei sent people to pay homage to the deceased Tang Baihu, but the East Palace chose to settle the matter. The two sides seemed to intend to shake hands and make peace.
But judging from the news that Jiangnan Meihua Academy was raided by "refugees" a while ago, this is more like a forced concession by the East Palace.
After all, although Luo Fuzi, the dean of Meihua Academy, did not express his support for any of his highnesses in Beijing, Qi Yunzhou, the acting dean of the academy, paid a visit to the Crown Princess in a generous manner.
Some foxes in the capital knew the inside story. When Luo Fuzi lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, he had several disciples. The prince and the princess were all his students.
Acting Dean Qi and the Crown Princess were brothers and sisters, so it was not surprising that he would fall in love with her. Speaking of which, it would not be surprising for Luo Fuzi, a teacher, to fall in love with the Crown Princess one day.
Combined with the death of Tang Jin and Tang Baihu, the large-scale mobilization of Jinyiwei in the capital, and the sudden appearance of Lu Zhenfu in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone speculated that the truth behind the undercurrent this time was between the East Palace and Jinyiwei. Confrontation.
And judging from the subsequent events at Meihua Academy, the result should be that Jin Yiwei has the upper hand.
It's just that everyone is a little confused as to why the Jin Yiwei has the upper hand and instead of regaining his position in the court, he goes to torment the Meihua Academy. It should be noted that Luo Yuanjing may fall to the Crown Princess again, but after all, he has not made his position clear yet. Jin Yiwei's behavior this time seemed more like venting his anger.
This matter was not only puzzling to the adults in the DPRK, but also to the person involved, Qi Yunzhou.
"Junior Sister, tell me why Mr. Lu didn't deal with the Xuantian Sect, but came to trouble me, Meihua Academy. After all, in terms of relationship, it is the Xuantian Sect that has the deeper connection with you, but why... ..Sigh, it’s really puzzling.”
In the east palace, Qi Yunzhou was sitting below and happened to be talking about this matter with the Crown Princess.
Hearing this, the Crown Princess rolled her eyes and said softly: "I thought that the senior brother came all the way to reminisce about old times. After all, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect it to be a complaint."
Qi Yunzhou chuckled: "Junior sister, you are out of sight now. You know senior brother's temperament. He will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. What's more, you, the East Palace, want to eat people. Am I crazy or stupid? I have nothing to do to come to your place. Reminiscing about old times.”
These words were undoubtedly extremely rude. The maid serving behind the Crown Princess had a cold look in her eyes, but the Crown Princess didn't care. She said: "Elder brother is still the same as before. In this case, why don't I give you some instructions?" road?"
"No, no, that's unnecessary."
Qi Yunzhou waved his hands repeatedly: "Senior brother has learned a lot about my junior sister's skills. The academy is too small to bear His Highness's tired mind. The capital is prosperous, and there are old friends to help. There is always a meal, as long as we don't starve to death."
The Crown Princess paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "It doesn't matter, senior brother has come from afar, and junior sister can't let you go back empty-handed. That Master Lu likes some off-beat things, and junior sister has collected a few of them, senior brother. Bring it with you later.”
Hearing this, Qi Yunzhou's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Junior sister, what do you mean, this incident in the academy is an unintentional disaster?"
The Crown Princess nodded: "Senior brother is smart. You should have seen that Mr. Lu will never do unnecessary things. He went to deal with Meihua Academy just because he was angry with the East Palace? Hehe, he is too lazy to do such shameless things, Meihua Academy." There must be other reasons for the Hua Academy incident, and it’s you who are blocking his way. Since he didn’t kill you, he must not have taken you to heart.”
"That's good."
Qi Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was deliberately exaggerated, and he smiled and said: "Thank you, junior sister, for clarifying my doubts, but senior brother also has a collection of these heretical things, so I don't need to bother junior sister."
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Senior Brother, why are you so outspoken? Why do you care about these little gadgets? You, Senior Brother, who are so anxious to avoid me, are you really treating your Junior Sister as a snake or scorpion."
"What did junior sister say?"
Qi Yunzhou said righteously: "The snakes and scorpions are far inferior to you, so don't belittle yourself."
"Be bold!"
The maid raised her eyebrows and scolded him angrily. This time the other party's rude words were really disgusting, and she could no longer bear it.
"Well, what your lord blames is that the common people know the crime."
Qi Yunzhou stood up and ran to the center of the hall, kneeling down to apologize seriously, but his absurd tone seemed to be a joke. The maid was furious, but she was stopped by the Crown Princess lightly.
"Forget it, senior brother has this temper, and he can't change it."
The Crown Princess raised her chin and looked at Qi Yunzhou, who was kneeling straight on the ground, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, regarding the Meihua Academy, I heard that the teacher went to Mr. Lu's house to seek justice and returned in defeat. What do you think?"
"Of course I'm going to ask for forgiveness."
Qi Yunzhou said without hesitation: "Since Mr. Lu thinks Meihua Academy is at fault, it must be the academy's fault. I will come to the door tomorrow with a gift to apologize. Junior sister, do you want to break two more wattle sticks?"
The Crown Princess laughed out loud and shook her head slightly: "That's not necessary. I don't think Mr. Lu will like this trick, but Senior Brother, you just had someone slap you in the face, and now you come to your door again. But it will make people look down upon.”
"Junior sister, what you said is wrong."
Qi Yunzhou said seriously: "Why does the teacher teach us to read? It is to teach us etiquette. Since Mr. Lu took the initiative to slap me on the left cheek, if he didn't consciously give me the right cheek for another slap, wouldn't it look like I don't know etiquette?" .”
The Crown Princess blinked her eyes blankly, and finally raised her forehead helplessly: "Senior Brother really doesn't want to give any trust to Junior Sister. It's no wonder that the teacher finally chose you to inherit his mantle."
Hearing this, Qi Yunzhou's tense body relaxed, his head drooped, and he said with a smile: "Good junior sister, senior brother has no ability, he can barely look after the house, Meihua Academy only has such a small amount of wealth, I guess You don’t like it either, so just let senior brother go this time.”
The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows slightly: "I heard that several Beggar Clan disciples scared my senior brother away this time. After all, my senior brother also learned martial arts from the teacher, why did he end up in such a mess?"
Qi Yunzhou curled his lips and said: "Junior sister, you and Mr. Lu are fighting with gods. Senior brother, this brat can't afford it. Our Meihua Academy has been located in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years. There has been no chaos. Suddenly, a few Beggar Gang disciples came and started making trouble. With all the rumors in the world these days, if I still couldn’t guess that there is an expert behind the scenes, I would be letting down my teacher’s training.”
"So, senior brother, you just ran away in disgrace?" the princess asked.
Qi Yunzhou shrugged and said: "Since they dare to take action, they must be confident. If they don't make a comeback, it will not be a problem to think about it three or five times. But I, a small family in the academy, if I accidentally lose once, then I will lose. It’s just over.”
After saying that, Qi Yunzhou stood up to leave: "Thank you, junior sister, for clarifying my doubts today. Senior brother is very grateful. I will go back to prepare gifts and say goodbye."
When he walked outside the palace, the princess's light voice came from behind him again: "Elder brother, do you really not plan to stay?"
Qi Yunzhou turned around and bowed to the Crown Princess in the palace: "Your Highness's kindness is greatly appreciated by the common people. I only regret that my ambition in this life is only to be a teacher, and it is difficult for Your Highness to drive me. Please forgive me."
After saying that, Qi Yunzhou stopped staying and strode away.
In the palace, the maid serving personally was a little unhappy: "This acting dean is so arrogant. Your Highness condescends to him, but he is so ignorant of current affairs."
"Why worry about verbal disputes? Senior Brother agreed or not. When he chose to enter the capital, he was already in the game. It's just that the person holding the chess was changed from Mr. Lu to me."
As the Crown Princess spoke, she picked up a piece of pastry and put it into her mouth. It was a gift that Qi Yunzhou brought to her when he came. The familiar taste made her face feel satisfied.
