Chapter 134

Although Liu Jingyan was the empress dowager, she was not a woman who was raised in a deep boudoir and had no knowledge of foreign affairs. She came from a prominent background and worshipped the Linchuan Academy in her early years. In these years, the Linchuan Academy was as stable as Mount Tai in the Southern Dynasty. Of course, Liu Jingyan's contribution was indispensable.

When Yu Wenqing and others came to the Southern Dynasty to hand over the alliance documents, Yan Wushi once exchanged hands with Ru Yan Kehui. At that time, Liu Jingyan just walked out of the palace in a low profile, and naturally recognized Shen Yan and the two.

She was busy helping the emperor deal with the affairs of the state, and she suddenly heard that the emperor had summoned a Taoist priest, and immediately came to interfere.

Shen Qiao sneaked in just to meet Chen Shubao, and he had no wrong intentions, but it was still a little embarrassing to be found out in person.

"Pin Dao came here, there is no malice, and I hope to forgive me for the abruptness."

He was also willing to explain one sentence, but Yan Wushi didn't answer, just sat there with a relaxed expression on his face. It seemed to him that the rich palace was no different from the humble house.

Liu Jingyan can show her face to Master Chen, but she can't be honest with Shen Yan and the two. Not only did she not change color, but she was gentle and kind, and returned the salute to Shen Qiao with the honor of a queen mother of a country: "Shen Daozun is polite, Daozun is willing to work hard. It is a blessing for the child to take the time to give pointers to the child."

If you call Shen Qiao "the head teacher", on the one hand, it seems that Chen Guo does not greet him well. On the other hand, when Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi are sitting here, Chen Guo is unprepared, and it would be embarrassing to say it, so Liu Jingyan called him "Dao". "Respect" means respect for Shen Qiao personally, which is very wise.

She also said to Yan Wushi: "Sect Master Yan is a great master of the generation, with an extraordinary status, Shen Dao is highly respected, and admired by others. My son has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, so he was not able to treat each other with respect, so he neglected the two of you. Please don't blame the distinguished guests. I would like to make amends for him."

Everyone was surprised when they saw that the empress dowager of a country was polite to Yan Wushi and Shen Qiao, and when they heard their identities, they were even more surprised. Among them, Chen Shubao was the most important.

How could he not know at this time that he had been deceived, and his anger surged immediately, his face flushed: "This kind of young people who conceal their identities and deceive the emperor, why should the mother treat them so politely, and where is the Jinwuwei? I take it!"

Liu Jingyan changed color and scolded: "Who dares to move!"

The emperor and the empress dowager contradicted the orders, the guards looked at each other and were in a dilemma. Those who had just taken a half-step had their feet in the air, so embarrassing.

Yan Wushi let out a laugh and stood up: "Liu Tai's consequences will never be inferior to men, no wonder I have heard that the previous generation of Linchuan Academy's palace masters wanted to pass on the mantle to you, but unfortunately you married into the palace, and just let you Yan Kehui got a bargain, and now it seems that if you inherited the Linchuan Academy at the beginning, maybe today the Linchuan Academy would already have an influence all over the north and south of the river, and even penetrated into the Northern Dynasty, pressing down on Buddhism, why are you still holding back in the Southern Dynasty!"

Knowing that this was provocative, Liu Jingyan still had the same expression, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for the love from Sect Master Yan, Senior Brother Ru Yan is better than me in martial arts and better in learning, so he should inherit the position of Palace Master and carry forward Confucianism. , I have ordered someone to set up another table of food and drink in the other hall, if the two of you don't dislike it, can you please move your chauffeur a little so that I can serve it in person."

Liu Jingyan was polite and respectful, and did not rely on his identity to be domineering, nor accuse them of posing as their identity to enter the palace. Shen Qiao did not want to embarrass the other party, and before waiting for Yan Wushi to say anything bad, he said, "Then there is the Queen Mother Lao."

Chen Zhu got up abruptly: "Empress mother, these two regard the palace as their own family yard, come here if they want, and leave if they want, how can they let go easily!"

Yan Wushi didn't even look at him, but smiled at Liu Jingyan: "Chen Xu, the first emperor of the Chen Dynasty, I have also met once in this seat. There is evidence for advancing and retreating, but he is still the master of defense. The sons that were born are not enough, it can be seen that the saying that tiger fathers have no dog sons is really unbelievable!"

Chen Shubao, the dignified emperor, has never been scolded in person like this, even when he was furious: "Let's be presumptuous, and we won't take them down!"

The emperor spoke for the second time, but the guards on the left and right did not dare to hesitate any more, and even came forward in a circle with spears and halberds.

Those Taoist priests who were sitting next to Shen Qiaoyan Wushi, who dared to come forward and be treated as thieves, hurriedly avoided them, for fear of bringing disaster to Chiyu.

Who would have guessed that there was a flower in front of them, and everyone had not recovered. Those guards who were heading for Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi had all fallen to the ground in a blink of an eye. The swords, spears, swords and halberds touched the ground, and the cries of pain came one after another. The two of them didn't move at all, they acted calmly, and they didn't even vibrate their sleeves.

Liu Jingyan couldn't stand it any longer, and said coldly, "Your Majesty's body has not yet healed, so you should rest more. How can you listen to hurtful words again, come and send these Taoist priests out of the palace!"

She wanted to say "exile from the palace", but then she thought that Shen Qiao was also a Taoist priest, so she was more polite to avoid misunderstanding.

It was only then that Chen Shubao realized that the elite soldiers he thought were not worth mentioning in front of these arena experts.

He studied under Ruyan Kehui since he was a child, but as the future emperor, no one thinks that he should learn martial arts and become a master of all corners. Compared with martial arts, Chen Shubao is also more interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that although there are many martial arts masters around him , but has nothing to do with the arena.

However, the rivers and lakes that once seemed far away now seem to be very close.

He watched his mother expel the Taoist priest, and then invited Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi away. The latter never took him seriously, and his mother never asked his advice from beginning to end. In front of everyone, Treat his dignity as an emperor as nothing.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the Chengxiang Hall?" The maid approached and asked timidly.

Chen Shubao glanced at him: "Go back, why don't you go back, you dare to defy the queen mother?"

The servant did not dare to speak.

Chen Shubao: "Go get some wine, I want to choreograph and write lyrics, I can't write without wine!"

The inner servant was embarrassed: "But the queen mother's side..."

He didn't dare to say any more, because Chen Shubao was staring at him: "You are my person, or the queen mother's person. If you really want to be so loyal, wouldn't it be better to go to the queen mother's place to listen to the messenger!"

The waiter even said he didn't dare, so he quickly retreated to find wine.

On the other side, Liu Jingyan welcomed the two of them to the other hall. The food and wine had already been prepared. She waved back from left and right, the maid hesitated a little, and Liu Jingyan smiled: "No need to do this, with the martial arts of Sect Master Yan, Shen Daozun, if you want to kill me without effort, Why wait until now, don't be a villain in vain, just go down!"

When the idlers were exhausted, Liu Jingyan said: "My son has no status, let the two laugh, I don't know what is the important thing for the two of you to enter the palace, if I can do it as a woman, but it doesn't matter, I will do my best to help. ."

Shen Qiao: "Pin Dao has indeed traveled from the north, and lived in Baimenguan as a guest. He happened to meet His Majesty's call for a Taoist to enter the palace. When Pindao was curious, he entered the palace with him, that's all, the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about it, I will wait and see. No malice."

Liu Jingyan was a little surprised. When she wanted to come, the two were not equal, so they must have a purpose in entering the palace.

"So, so is Sect Master Yan?"

Yan Wushi said: "If I want to kill Chen Shubao, I don't have to wait until now."

Liu Jingyan also smiled slightly: "I don't necessarily believe what others say, but Sect Master Yan's words, I have no doubts. I wonder who in the world can compete with Sect Master Yan. I heard that on Banbu Peak, Sect Master Yan defeated Hulu. It is estimated that this is a grand event in the Central Plains, I deeply admire it, and I deeply hate that I am limited by my identity, and I have not been able to witness it with my own eyes.

Seeing that Yan Wushi raised the cup, although she didn't drink it, she also expressed her attitude, so she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Shen Qiao: "Just now those Taoist priests, although the classics are not refined and their talents are lacking in learning, but after all, they did not harm the heavens and the truth. They only entered the palace because of their admiration for Tianyan. I also ask the queen mother to look at my thin face and spare them once, don't hurt his life."

Liu Jingyan: "This matter is all caused by the emperor. I still understand this, and I won't do anything to express anger. Shen Daozun can rest assured."

She sighed: "The emperor was born in a deep palace and has never experienced wind and rain, so he is greedy for wealth and pleasure, but he is not interested in state affairs. The first emperor and I did not expect it. This time really made the two of you laugh."

The other party was so sensible and understandable, but Shen Qiao felt a little embarrassed and comforted: "Your Majesty is full of talent, just because you are young and energetic, you just refused to put your mind on the right path. If you can get someone to guide you, you will be silent, and it will be a blockbuster."

These words obviously also touched Liu Jingyan's heart, and she said sadly: "If the one who stays by the emperor's side is someone like Shen Daozun, why should I be worried!"

Shen Qiao was about to speak, but Yan Wushi said lightly: "The Chen Dynasty already has a Confucian sect, and Ru Yan Kehui regards his three-thirds of an acre as a treasure, who can intervene? ."

After being provoked by the words, Liu Jingyan was a little embarrassed, but he was not angry.

Yan Wushi: "You are a smart person, although you still stick to worldly views, but I look at you more pleasing to the eye than I look at Ru Yan Kehui."

Liu Jingyan smiled and said, "Thank you Sect Master Yan for your love."

She knew that although she was the queen mother of a country, the other party didn't have to look at her face at all, so she adjusted her attitude very well.

The way is different, the three are really nothing to talk about, Shen Qiao took the initiative to leave, Liu Jingyan did not hold back, but also sent the two to the gate of the palace in person, and explained that the personal maid would personally send the person out of the palace, and the attitude must be respectful. Make times.

At the end, Liu Jingyan said: "The two are distinguished guests. If you want to enter the palace next time, you can ask the guards to tell you. I will greet you with courtesy. If you hide your identities like this, you will be wronged."

Yan Wushi: "You don't have to say anything to test it. I entered the palace this time just to find someone. Now that someone has been found, I will not enter this place again in the future."

Liu Jingyan wondered, "Who is Sect Master Yan looking for?"

Yan Wushi suddenly smiled: "In this Chen Gong, apart from the Taoist priest Shen Qiao, where else is there worth looking for?"

Shen Qiao had to add to him: "Sect Master Yan and I parted ways in Funing County. He went all the way south to find him. He must have heard from outside the palace that the Taoist priest was called to the palace and knew that I would definitely attend the meeting, so he followed suit. I came in to find out, I didn't want to disturb the queen mother because of it, I didn't expect it, and I hope to forgive me."

Liu Jingyan: "The Dao Zun is polite. In this case, I will not hinder the two of you from reminiscing about the past. Sect Master Yan Shen Daozun walk slowly, there will be a future."

Although she did not have a deep friendship with Yan Wushi, she often heard that this person was arrogant and arrogant.

On the contrary, Shen Qiao was quite polite and polite, and he said goodbye to Liu Jingyan before leaving.

After leaving the palace, Yan Wushi didn't like to talk to Shen Qiao anymore, so Shen Qiao had no choice but to take a few steps to catch up with him.

"You really entered the palace to find me?"

Yan Wushi didn't speak.

Shen Qiao: "How do you know that I will definitely enter the palace?"

The other party still ignored him.

Shen Qiao was helpless and had to reach out and grab his sleeve: "Yan Wushi, I have something to tell you."

At this time, the two had walked to the bank of the moat, the willow leaves were fluttering, and the lush green was like clusters of drooping jasper. The ripples on the river were a good time for the Japanese calendar.

The two were dressed in Taoist robes and had handsome faces, which attracted the affectionate attention of many young ladies.

It's a pity that the two priests never looked back.

Yan Wushi finally stopped in response, pretending to be puzzled: "Daoist Shen is calling me?"

Shen Qiao: "...Yes."

Yan Wushi: "That's it, I'll be on my way after that."

Shen Qiao: "Where are you going?"

Yan Wushi: "Say what you want to say first."

Shen Qiao's face was thin, and even if a sentence was repeated a thousand times in his heart, he would not be able to say it every time it came to his lips, so he needed to interrupt and change the subject.

He looked left and right, and hesitated: "It's so crowded here, it's inconvenient to speak, can you change the place?"

Yan Wushi showed impatience: "If you don't say it, I'll leave."

Turn around and leave.

Shen Qiao hurriedly grabbed his hand: "You, you stay!"

From the angle where the other party couldn't see, Yan Wushi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then disappeared again, frowning when he turned his head.

Shen Qiao lowered his head and hesitated for a while, and finally came up with a sentence: "Are you okay?"

Yan Wushi: "..."

It seems wrong to ask such a question, Shen Qiao thought in distress, and asked again, "Do you like candy eaters?"

Yan Wushi: "..."

He sneered: "Xie Ling likes it!"

Turn around and go again.

Sure enough, he said the wrong thing again, and Taoist Shen was so tangled that it was one thing to understand his intentions, but he really wanted to say it, and he couldn't do it anyway.

He gritted his teeth, pulled the person away directly, and walked quickly to a deserted alley.

Yan Wushi didn't resist, he let him pull, but the expression on his face became a little colder.

"I'm in the palace to help you out. Is that how Dao-Shen Shen repays me?"

What a relief, obviously you want to enter the palace to watch the fun!

Shen Qiao slandered, turned his heart away, without saying a word, he directly held the other's face, and tapped on the lips like a dragonfly.

Yan Wushi's face froze, and the coldness that was deliberately condensed disappeared in an instant.
