    People in the Taoist sect know the fate of others and the fate of heaven, but they don't count their own fate.

    Xu Yuanqing's words were deliberately provocative, but Gu Sanzhi was neither angry nor annoyed, and shook his head with a slight smile, "Your Majesty counts my doom, so what should I do?"

    "I don't think you can do the math, so I'll do the math for you." Xu Yuanqing glanced at Zuo Yue, seeing his expectant expression, so he teased the child and raised his hand to pretend to do the math, "My son counts......"

    He pretends to be profound, and looks like he is talking.

    A cool breeze blew up, Gu Sanzhi raised his hand and stroked the black cloth over his eyes, quietly waiting for Xu Yuanqing to perform.

    Zuo Yue's eyes were full of anticipation, wishing to put his face in Xu Yuanqing's hands.

    "You will be doomed today."

    Xu Yuanqing pushed Zuo Yue's face away, and looked at Gu Sanzhi as if something was wrong.

    Zuo Yue covered his face in a daze, "Huh?"

    Gu Sanzhi: "Your Majesty is joking..."

    Before he finished speaking, he heard the voice of Xu Yuanqing getting up, followed by the light and shadow in front of him, and he heard Xu Shizi say, "I will be your next catastrophe."

    Gu Sanzhi: "..."

    "I want you to go to the Daxiangguo Temple and have a chat with the national teacher about the birth dates of Shen Qiwen and Lu Qiuling."

    "What?" Gu Sanzhi stood up in surprise when he heard the words, and was about to refuse. He pushed him back with one hand, and heard Xu Shizi's voice with a smile, "What are you in a hurry for? Changyuan's birthday.Let’s figure it out, let’s talk about what’s going on with the two of them?”

    Gu Sanzhi was helpless: "Monks don't tell lies."

    "Who told you to lie, you just ran errands for me." Xu Yuanqing tore off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it on the table, and stepped back down the steps regardless of whether he agreed or not, "I'll trouble you to run this matter."

    After finishing speaking, he brought Zuo Yue back to the yard, and even specifically confessed that Gu Sanzhi was not allowed to enter his yard, which completely cut off his way.

    Zuo Yue really couldn't understand what happened to Shizi, it was easy for Liu Qian to handle the matter, why did he bother to find Gu Sanzhi?Meaning is still the same thing.

    The child's eyes were dazed and ignorant. Adhering to the principle of asking when he doesn't understand, and listening when he doesn't understand, he scratched his hair and asked, "My lord, does Mr. Gu know what you mean?"

    "If he agrees, he won't know what I mean. If he doesn't do it, he will know what I mean."

    "ah?"

    Xu Yuan Qingyun's vague answer made Zuo Yue, who was already ignorant, even more incomprehensible.

    The next day, Zuo Yue said that he went to look for Gu San to know if he was there, so he probably went out.

    Xu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and felt strange, based on his shallow understanding of Gu Sanzhi, he was not someone who couldn't figure out the situation, and yesterday he just had nothing to do to make trouble with him, and didn't really want him to go to the national teacher.

    Zuo Yue prepared vegetables for him, his eyebrows twitched, "My lord, so Mr. Gu doesn't know your intentions?"

    "Who knows."

    Xu Yuanqing picked and ate his meal, the room was stuffy, so he went to the yard to blow some air.

    Li Ying played with Luo Shi for a day yesterday, and he only returned home during the curfew. Mother Hu lit him a tranquilizing incense, and he woke up at noon today, feeling very refreshed, not haggard like before.

    Xu Yuanqing greeted her as a routine, and seeing her radiant look made her feel more relaxed. Sure enough, a girl needs to be coaxed, and she needs to go shopping and drink tea with her good friends to be in a good mood.

    Li Yingzheng was counting the things he bought yesterday, and they filled the whole room. Seeing him coming, she asked Madam Hu to continue counting, and dragged him to the hall to sit down and drink tea.

    Xu Yuanqing took a sip of tea, and signaled Zuo Yue to go and see which house it belonged to, so that he could send someone to settle the accounts.

    "Yesterday, Ah Yue said that I would buy whatever I wanted, and you paid for it. Aunt Luo and I didn't pay attention when we bought it. Only when I delivered it today did I realize that there were so many."

    Li Ying was all smiles, Xu Yuanqing hadn't seen her so happy for a long time, and she was also happy.

    "As long as the mother likes it."

    "I like it, of course I like it." Li Ying said and raised her hand to show him, "This is a gift from A Yuan, isn't it pretty?"

    "Um?"

    Wasn't Xiang Changyuan with him yesterday?When did you buy a bracelet for Li Ying?

    Li Ying saw his bewildered expression, and explained to him with a smile, "The shopkeeper Li gave it to me. He said that A Yuan told him to see it off when I come."

    Xu Yuanqing: "..."

    It has to be said that Xiang Changyuan really knows how to do things, his surprise is more useful than paying him ten thousand taels of silver.

    Listening to Li Ying saying "A Yuan", Xu Yuanqing was really afraid that Li Ying would bring up the old story again, but fortunately Li Ying seemed to see his worry, and sighed several times and told him, "I'm not sure about the matter between you and A Yuan."I also think about it, fate cannot be forced, I am satisfied if you can get close to him, if you push too hard, it may backfire."

    She was full of regret, and looked at herself with distress, Xu Yuanqing was most afraid of soft knives, her heart tightened, she looked away and said, "Mother can think so."

    Excuse me, Xu Yuanqing was bored in the yard, so he took Zuo Yue to settle the accounts. Originally, Li Ying didn't allow him to go out, but he said that he had to make an appointment with Chang Yuan, so he could go out.

    On the carriage, Xu Yuanqing leaned against the wall of the carriage and sighed, he was worse than cannon fodder!The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he glared at Zuo Yue, which startled the child and almost choked on the pastry.

    Zuo Yue drank tea and went down, muttering "The son is strange", and gently opened a window to look out, so as not to hit the muzzle of the gun.

    "Hey! My son, is that General Xiang?"

    Xu Yuanqing pushed open the window, looked into the crowd, and saw Xiang Changning standing on the street with his hands behind his back, in front of him seemed to be a woman, he couldn't see clearly from a little distance.

    The two seemed to be having an argument, and everyone around them was watching.

    Xu Yuanqing got out of the car with his robes in his hands, and only when he got closer did he see Lu Qiuling in front of Changning.

    Seeing this, Xu Yuanqing grabbed Zuo Yue, who was about to join in the fun, quickly swept around, and dragged the child who wanted to join in the fun to the next inn.

    The waiter and the shopkeeper also stretched their necks to watch the excitement, Xu Yuanqing yelled a few times, he threw down a few taels of silver and went upstairs, pushed the door open, his eyes staring in inexplicable embarrassment.

    Xiao Yu'an and Yang Ming were also there, they were not seated by the window, the three of them looked at each other, and they all understood that it was the same reason, Zuo Yue couldn't hold back his gossip for a long time, he broke free from Xu Yuanqing's hand in a flash,He ran to the window.

    "Your Majesty is also here to drink tea?" Xiao Yu'an always laughed with a bit of frivolity, he consciously gave way, and Yang Ming nodded at him in embarrassment, and also gave way.

    "I won't drink tea, you can watch the excitement."

    Xu Yuanqing was a little polite to them, but if others were around, he might be talking in a strange way.

    The three big ones and one small stretched their heads out to look out, the people on the street were crowded together, surrounded by Xiang Changning and Lu Qiuling, the voices were noisy, but luckily they were close enough to hear them if they listened carefully.

    Xiang Changning didn't wear official robes today, jade hairpins, and a dark blue cloak. He was neat and tidy, with a sharp look between his brows, and a faint murderous intent exuded from his whole body.

    The Lu Qiuling in front of her was completely different from her temperament. She was dressed in a pale pink winter coat with snow-white fluff trimmed. She was wearing an upturned bun with a velvet flower jade pendant on her hairpin. She had big watery eyes and looked like a jade beauty that I still pitied.

    She glanced around, took a few steps back, and asked softly, "What is General Xiang doing?"

    Xiang Changning looked terrified, and bowed his knees to salute her, "The princess doesn't need to call me a general, I'm taking a rest today, and I'm just the second miss of the Xiang family."

    Lu Qiuling hurriedly returned the gift, and replied delicately, "Ling'er dare not."

    "The princess doesn't have to act like this with me..." Xiang Changning spoke bluntly, her tone was also blunt, and her cold voice suddenly stopped. She was silent for a while, and said in a more blunt tone, "You don't have to be like this, I willFinding you is not an official business, but a private matter of the daughter's family."

    "ah?"

    Hearing this, Lu Qiuling was at a loss, looking pure and innocent, which made people feel distressed.

    Xiang Changning looked indifferent, but looked at her with a bit of disgust, and said clearly: "The elders of my family bumped into you yesterday, and should have come to apologize yesterday. Due to the delay due to trivial matters, I will send a greeting card to your mansion today.", Maybe the princess is still angry, and the family will not accept invitations to the family, but since I met the princess here, I will apologize for the elders and the princess."

    She is notoriously arrogant. Lord Chaozhong criticized her before for saying that "as a woman, she is rebellious like a military camp". She returned to Beijing under pressure.The officials she condemned sent invitations, regardless of whether they accepted or not, they went straight to the mansion.

    It is said that some officials were so frightened that they fainted immediately.

    Later, the rhetoric became more intense, but Xiang Changning ignored it, returned to northern Xinjiang after the report, and sealed the world's fallacies with success stories, and fewer and fewer people attacked her as a "daughter".

    Since ancient times, there are only a handful of women who can be generals. She Xiang Changning does have the capital of arrogance.

    General Xiang, who frightened all the officials, was now wearing women's clothing, speaking as a boudoir woman, suddenly became more polite, and saluted solemnly after explaining to Lu Qiuling.

    Lu Qiuling felt skeptical when she heard it, but recently it was rumored that she was the future princess, and the imperial edict had been ordered to be written by the Prime Minister, so she was inevitably a little bit complacent, and because the Xiang family was the amulet hand-picked by His Majesty for the Prince, she couldn't help but think about it,Was it because the Xiang family didn't want to offend the prince, so they showed weakness and made friends with her.

    She was delighted in her heart, and returned the gift dignifiedly and generously on her face, explaining softly, "Second miss misunderstood, my wife and I just fell in love with the same red hairpin, I have already courted my wife, there is no conflict,As for the worship post, perhaps the servants of the mansion made their own decisions, and I will definitely punish them severely when I go back."

    She changed her arrogance and unreasonableness into being humble and polite, and then blamed the servant for the invitation, and picked herself up in a few words.

    "It's good that the princess doesn't blame me." Xiang Changning sighed, as if thinking about something, turned his eyes away and waited for her to finish the salute before raising his eyes to look at her.

    Her red and phoenix eyes were not angry and majestic, and when she glanced away, the chilling intent was fleeting. Lu Qiuling was startled suddenly, and screamed in her heart that something was wrong.Out of the crowd.

    The five officers and soldiers with big arms and round waists were holding hairpins, rings, jade ornaments and brocade clothes and red robes from their daughter's family. Everyone was scared by the officers and soldiers who broke in, and they talked about what they had in their hands.

    Lu Qiuling was also startled, pretending to be startled, and retreated a few steps hastily, the servant girl helped her to stabilize herself.

    Xiang Changning raised his foot and approached her, looked down at her white jade face, restrained the gentle breath just now, and now exuded a menacing aura, looking at her like a defeated opponent.

    "These are the things that the princess took a fancy to yesterday. The elders in my family took a fancy to them first, but the princess said that she needs jewelry urgently for her wedding. I have already bought the things and I am here to give them to the princess."

    She wrote every word perfectly, and before Lu Qiuling could quibble, she took two steps closer to force her into a panic and blocked her from speaking.

    "Give these vulgar things to the princess, congratulations on Hongxi, and hope the princess doesn't remember the rudeness of the elders in my family."

    Although she spoke politely, she was overbearing. Hearing her words, Lu Qiuling knew that she was tricking her. There were many people around, so she calmed down and prepared to argue.

    "To the general..."

    "Princess!" Xiang Changning suppressed her words with a higher voice. Seeing that she was about to retreat, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist so that she could not retreat. The servant girl wanted to protect the lord, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers accompanying her.

    "The elders in my family are good-natured and accommodating to the princess, but I have a eccentric temperament. If you give me an inch, I will give you a foot. If you bully my family, I will make you restless."

    Lu Qiuling's wrist was tightly grasped by her, and she couldn't break free because of the pain in his wrist, and stared at her viciously.

    "It's the intention of the elders in my family to give the things to the princess, but it's not my intention."

    Lu Qiuling cut Shui Qiutong, struggling coquettishly, "General Xiang, you hurt me!"

    Xiang Changning is getting more and more aggressive, Lu Qiuling's tricks are useful to the daughter of the boudoir, but they are useless to General Xiang who is fighting on the battlefield.

    The spectators around talked and pointed.

    Xiang Changning turned a deaf ear to it, seeing the growing malice in Lu Qiuling's eyes, looked at her with a sneer, and slightly let go, Lu Qiuling broke free and covered his wrist, looking at her with tears in his eyes.

    There are also many heads protruding from the inn and restaurant on the street, the most eye-catching one is the beauty in Tsing Yi on the second floor of the inn, her peach blossom eyes are not charming but indifferent, the red mole under her eyes complements the blush at the end of her eyes, just one glance will make you thinkLook at it again, and you won't get tired of it if you look at it more, it will only make you more fascinated.

    Because of the beauty in Tsing Yi on the second floor, half of the people upstairs are watching the excitement, and half are watching people.

    Xu Yuanqing noticed the staring eyes, and naturally felt uncomfortable, but his face was still calm.

    Zuoyue was not tall enough, so he stood on tiptoe to look down. The more he looked, the more curious he became. Stretching his neck was not enough, so he eagerly supported the guardrail and jumped. Xu Yuanqing was afraid that he would fall, so he raised his hand to drag him back to the ground, and held him downhis shoulders, in case he repeats his tricks.

    Zuo Yue looked up at him resentfully, and clapped his hands sullenly.

    Xu Yuanqing propped his other hand on the guardrail, and rubbed his fingertips against the wooden guardrail. Not only did he not pay attention to the child's emotions, he didn't even look at Changning.

    There was a strange displeasure in my heart.

    There were too many people watching the excitement on the street, and the passage of people later was not smooth, so all kinds of people gathered, and none of them caught their eyes, Xu Yuanqing was inexplicably disappointed.

    Xiao Yu'an lowered his eyes to look at Zuo Yue beside him, with a look of deep hatred, and then looked at Xu Yuanqing's hand pressing down on him. Seeing that the child's white and fleshy appearance was really cute, he leaned over slightly and asked him, "Children, do you want to watch?"

    Zuo Yue often followed Xu Yuanqing around, so he naturally knew that he was the fifth son of the Xiao family. Because of the huge difference in status, he didn't know much about him, and he still couldn't react when he was asked suddenly.

    Seeing him looking at him with burning eyes, Zuo Yue was sure that he was asking himself, so he looked at the prince who ignored him, looked back at him expectantly, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

    Seeing this, Xiao Yu'an smiled slightly, "It looks like candy, but it has a cat's heart." He teased him, but hugged him in his arms.

    Zuo Yue didn't want to delay his thanks, he poked his head out impatiently, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an acquaintance beside him, and hurriedly pulled Xu Yuanqing to look.

    The child in Xu Yuanqing's hands fell into someone else's hands at some point, and he was already annoyed and wanted to get angry, so he was pulled by Zuo Yue a few times, looking at those ecstatic eyes, he patiently leaned out where he pointed.

    With the densely packed heads upstairs like lanterns, he saw the person he was looking for at a glance, and that person also looked at him with surprise in his eyes, and then waved his hand with a bright smile.

    After Zuo Yue notified, he hurriedly looked downstairs, Xiang Changning didn't believe a word of Lu Qiuling's rebuttal, looked at her with a sleepy expression, motioned his subordinates to come forward, brought a pearl hairpin, and raised his hand to put it on Lu Qiuling's hair bun.

    "When the princess is getting married, I will definitely come to congratulate you with a bountiful gift. Then I hope that the princess will not reject me again." She spoke in a leisurely manner. Seeing Lu Qiuling sneer anxiously explaining, she knew thatThe explanation was not for her, and not a word of it was sincere.

    After Xiang Changning finished speaking, he took people away, and gave all the things to her maid, leaving Lu Qiuling alone, and the people around talked a lot.

    She knew that Xiang Changning was trying to find fault with her on purpose. In order to stand out for Luo Shi, she put herself in a dilemma without noticing for a while, surrounded by irrelevant people, but the endless flow of words could wash people to pieces.

    She is now dizzy by Xiang Changning's shock, this place is crowded with people, it is not a place to stay for a long time, she hurriedly took the maid and left, cursing Xiang Jia and Luo Shi in her heart, and she had already planned to let Shen Qiwen punish them.

    The central figure left, and the people who watched the excitement downstairs and upstairs also dispersed, Zuo Yue was still young, although he loved to watch the excitement, but many of them couldn't understand, and he didn't understand after the people had dispersed, so he was puzzled, "Hey!Who won this?"

    A slight laugh came from next to my ear, "Want to know?"

    Zuo Yue looked up at Xiao Yu'an, and nodded obediently.

    Xu Yuanqing looked at Changyuan and greeted himself with a smile, turned his head away uncomfortably, and looked back to see that his child was in someone else's hands, and he was being coaxed to be obedient.

    He was already annoying, but he got angry immediately, and slapped Zuoyue on the head, "I know fart." After speaking, he signaled to Yang Ming to leave after watching the excitement.

    Zuo Yue rubbed his head with a "huh", broke free from Xiao Yu'an's embrace, thanked him and hurriedly chased him.

    The child had short legs, and he jumped and chased after him. Seeing from a distance that Shizi was blocked by the third son, he slowed down.

    Xu Yuanqing looked at the smiling person in front of him, his eyes were clear and bright reflecting himself, his heart was inexplicably blocked, and he opened his mouth with a questioning tone, "What's your idea?"

    Xiang Changyuan heard that he was unhappy, scratched his head guiltyly, and confessed honestly, "I didn't think so, my elder sister didn't do what I said."

    Xu Yuanqing remained silent, looking at him quietly with neither cold nor indifferent eyes.

    People filed out from the guest room, they stood in the corridor blocking the way, Xiang Changyuan hurriedly pulled Xu Yuanqing aside to let others.

    The shopkeeper and the shop waiter were knocked dizzy by the hurried people, pointing at them and shouting: "Hey! What's the matter with you?"

    As soon as they shouted, people became busy again, regardless of whether there were people beside them or not, they rushed into a mess, Xiang Changyuan hurriedly protected him in front of him, separating him from others.

    The crowd was surging, and the breath of the person in front of Xu Yuanqing lingered on the tip of his nose, making him very uncomfortable. He frowned slightly and pushed the person away.

    The crowd just dispersed, and Xu Yuanqing was displeased looking at the long-term view, and tentatively called him, "Your Excellency?"

    He thought Xu Yuanqing was unhappy because Xiang Changning blocked Lu Qiuling on the street, but in fact even Xu Yuanqing didn't know what he was awkward about.

    Xu Yuanqing said in a muffled voice, "Your sister knows it well."

    As he said that, he walked forward, Xiang Changyuan followed him, and blocked the hurried people for him while walking, "My lord, you said before that the prince joined forces with the Yang family and Tang Guogong to impeach my father, brother and sister.Yang Ming Yang Ming went to my house yesterday to clarify."

    Xu Yuanqing saw that he was blocking people for him very naturally. This was the first time he had been treated so carefully except for Li Ying since he was ill.

    He raised his hand to hold him, walked to the side of the road and stopped, withdrew his hand, looked directly at him, "What do you want to say?"

    Xiang Changyuan glanced at the hand held by him, recovered his senses and raised his head to tell him, "It was my father's order that they promised the crown prince to impeach my father, brother and sister."

    "What?"

    Xu Yuanqing was indeed shocked by this news. In the original book, the Xiang family had never mentioned the position of the crown prince. How could he impeach Tang Guogong and the Yang family from the Confucian Society? What is his purpose?

    "My elder sister only found out about this after asking my father. After Yang Ming came yesterday, my father told us that he had his own considerations and told us not to worry."

    Telling Chang Yuan the truth, and not hiding anything from him, Xu Yuanqing's thoughts turned back and forth, and finally turned to the most innocuous point at the moment, and asked reflexively, "You tell me?"

    His peach blossom eyes are not seductive, always with a touch of coldness, and there is a sickness between his brows. The whole person is a bit more rigid than weak, with a soft and strong temperament.

    Pedestrians are in a hurry, all kinds of people, no one is more eye-catching than the person in front of them.

    Xiang Changyuan looked at his slightly frowned brows, and asked without answering, "Your Majesty thinks I'm stupid?"

    Xu Yuanqing remained silent. He occasionally felt that he was stupid, but occasionally he also felt that he had brains. Xiang Changyuan just gave him repeated feelings, unlike other people who could make him guess directly.

    In the original book, Xiang Changyuan is just a cannon fodder character, and there is not much ink and ink. Now the hero Shen Yuze in the original book has not appeared because of his intervention, and his thoughts have not yet revolved around the hero, so it is unpredictable?

    This idea is not valid, Xu Yuanqing knows it is not valid, but he can't help thinking deeply along this line of thought.

    "My son?"

    As soon as he thought of the fact that he devoted himself to Shen Yuze in the original book, he couldn't help thinking wildly. The world has changed a lot because of his existence. He wanted to ask directly whether Shen Yuze was as important to him as in the original book..

    "To the long run..."

    Just after calling out his name, Xu Yuanqing was shocked when he saw Xiang Changyuan, raised his hand to signal him not to say anything, looked at the passers-by on the street, and said happily, "My son, I saw an old friend, let's chat some other day.”

    As he spoke, he beckoned Zuo Yue to come over, while he ran forward in a hurry, not forgetting to wave to Xu Yuanqing while running.

    "..."

    Seeing his bright smile, Xu Yuanqing frowned, thinking that his heart had been hit hard for a while, his breathing was difficult, and his whole body felt weak and sore.

    It seemed that something was gradually getting out of his control.
