I was Idle and Cool Chapter 91: Jealous
"What do you think of him?"
There is still a distance, far away, Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che has already stopped, and he has not been advertised, so the people in front do not know that he is here.
He only looked at Fang Shaoxing who was wearing a horizontal knife and immediately asked a question to the side with a smile.
Nowadays, there are not many people who dare to stand beside the emperor in this palace.
It's the old lady and the old lady, who always lag behind in a proper manner, but Gu Juefei, who has been with him in his early years, can put aside the rules of the palace and stand beside him.
As soon as the peace ceremony was over, Xiao Che summoned Gu Juefei.
Just now when I was talking with the general's wife, Lu Jinxi, Gu Juefei was in the back of the hall and could hear everything clearly.
So at this moment, of course, I can walk out with Xiao Che.
His eyes also fell on Shaoxing in front of him.
Listening to Xiao Che's calm voice that was not angry at all, he also knew that this matter would not be too big today.
So he laughed: "It's not like a general who leads troops to fight, but it's like those gangsters in the market who don't care if their tempers come up. Not very good, but in terms of ability, Xue Kuang may not be able to fight."
The first half was not very good, but the second half...
Even if Xiao Che was slow, he could hear the appreciation in Gu Juefei's words.
He looked back at this boyhood friend who should have been his crotch early on, but was crushed on the head by his father, with a subtle voice in his voice.
"I thought you would find this person disgusting."
"Haha, I'm short-handed, but I'm short-handed in eating people. To be honest with the emperor, I just invited the minister to drink a small jar of good wine. Even if the minister is full of bad words, he has no choice but to hold back."
Gu Juefei said half-jokingly.
Xiao Che laughed when he heard this.
He asked himself that he knew Gu Juefei very well, so he naturally knew that his words were just a joke.
But I didn't deny it, I just really thought Fang Shaoxing was good.
"Unfortunately, he appeared too late. In the current situation, there is no chance for him to make achievements. It's a pity..."
In the middle of the sentence, Xiao Che stopped naturally, but was silent.
How smart is Gu Juefei?
Even if Xiao Che didn't say it, he could understand what he was thinking, not to mention that he had already said most of what he said.
Fang Shaoxing is really good.
Leading troops to fight, even if he is not as old as Xue Kuang, and he has a frivolous evil spirit that has not been cleaned up, he always gives people a feeling that he is not particularly reliable.
But he is sincere, straight, and doesn't go around with anyone.
Just like Fang Shaoxing's provocative words——
If in the battle with Holden that year, he himself, not Xue Kuang, led the troops to fight, then perhaps there would be no such peace talks today.
Or maybe, even if there were, it wouldn't be Holden.
Because Holden can't escape from him.
He is young, he only came to prominence under Xue Kuang six or seven years ago.
This timing, whether it is for Da Xia, or for Gu Juefei and Xiao Che, is a bit late.
How can Xue Kuang's prestige in the army come to this for a few years in the morning?
The protracted war with the Xiongnu will not be the same as it was six years ago.
Gu Juefei's eyes became a little distant.
He didn't take Xiao Che's words again, he just tried his best to see through the crowd to see the old lady who had high hopes for him and now has been disappointed with him.
At the edge of the crowd, he stood quietly, his body seemed to be trembling.
It's just a little bit farther apart.
Gu Juefei actually felt that the expression on his face was so blurry that he couldn't see clearly at all.
Or maybe, I don't want to see clearly.
"Let's take a look."
Xiao Che didn't mind Gu Juefei's dazed neglect, just waved to the **** beside him.
The **** has served for many years, and suddenly understands.
With a flick of the whisk in his hand, he immediately raised his head, cleared his throat and sang: "The Emperor is here—"
This time, the deadlock in front was broken.
Civil and military ministers bowed down one after another.
Only the Huns helped Holden up and glared at Fang Shaoxing. There was an urge to be tricked. Hearing the Emperor Daxia coming over, it was not easy for him to get angry, so he could only saluted along with him.
Of all people, Fang Shaoxing is the calmest.
Seeing the emperor coming, he lifted the flowing hem of his white robe, and his posture when he bowed and bowed looked unrestrained.
There is still a little smile in the voice: "Chen Fang Shaoxing, meet the emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Flat."
Xiao Che glanced at him, and then took a close look at Holden, who was disgraced at the moment, and felt a burst of relief in his heart, and even the ordinary smile on his face was a little real.
"The peace ceremony has just ended, what are you making a fuss about?"
Holden is on fire.
But before he could speak, Fang Shaoxing had already bowed down and replied: "Returning to the emperor, this minister and General Hun Hunton had a close friendship on the battlefield in the past. Today's peace ceremony has been completed, my minister. So I wanted to discuss with him. I just didn't expect that General Holden would be merciful, and he didn't show his true skills, so he saved some face for the minister. However, the minister's actions were not serious for a while, and I asked the emperor to forgive me."
Open your eyes and talk nonsense!
It's like turning black and white in front of everyone!
The civil and military ministers around who had witnessed the whole process of the incident, after hearing what he said, only felt a buzzing sound in their ears, and they couldn't even find it.
Even Lu Jinxi, who is used to seeing camouflage, can't help but twitch his eyes at this moment, deeply amazed by Fang Shaoxing's grandeur and boldness.
No one dared to stand up and say anything.
It was Holden himself who listened to Fang Shaoxing's extremely face-saving remarks, and was stunned for a long time, not knowing whether he should admit or deny.
Admit it, I can't swallow it in one breath;
Deny it, that's not to say that you can't beat Fang Shaoxing?
And it's only now that the peace is negotiated.
When Fang Shaoxing provoked him at the beginning, he said that this is a personal grudge and does not involve family affairs.
He took up the fight after hearing this. What he said in front of Emperor Daxia at this time was really not what a man did.
He held his breath for a long time, and Holden was speechless.
Fang Shaoxing's harsh words echoed in my ears...
He couldn't help but think about a question: As a young general who has only been galloping on the battlefield for less than two years and has a famous reputation, is Fang Shaoxing willing to fight, or to make peace?
If you don't want it, it's over. Just thinking about it, you can't help but break into a cold sweat.
Xiao Che also glanced at Fang Shaoxing, knowing that he was talking nonsense.
But the key at the moment is what the Hun envoys said.
With a kind smile on his face, he looked back at Holden and asked, "General Holden, is that so?"
"In the words of the Great Xia Emperor, this is the case."
Holden gritted his teeth, but in the end he swallowed the breath abruptly.
"General Fang is too modest. Holden's skills are not as good as others, so there is nothing to say."
"Oh? That seems to be a fuss."
Xiao Che glanced at everyone in the arena, as if he didn't know the origin of what happened, but after the conversation changed, it still fell back to Fang Shaoxing.
"Although it is a reminiscence between General Holden and Lord Fang, this is the gate of the palace, and all the adults have come from afar. They are the envoys of the Huns to negotiate peace. Lord Fang's actions are a bit too much. ."
Fang Shaoxing's sharp eyebrows immediately revealed a bit of obvious displeasure.
You can even see a sneer on his lips.
Xiao Che also saw it, but he didn't care, he just said with a smile: "The palace gate is noisy, although it has not caused a big mistake, but there are national laws and family rules. , a small punishment and a big commandment - just fine for three months."
March?
Everyone knows that Fang Shaoxing is only a Jinwuwei now, and that little salary and wages are not enough for him to go out to drink two pots of wine.
Don't say it's March, it's not a big deal to be fined for a year.
Xiao Che's so-called "small punishment and big commandment" is really "small" enough.
Everyone could hear the emperor's intention to take it lightly.
Fang Shaoxing is not stupid, but he is not very appreciative in his heart, and his mouth is also perfunctory. He just bows and bows, and calmly says: "Chen, take the punishment."
"Okay, I thought something big happened."
Xiao Che looked at Fang Shaoxing twice, then ignored him and waved his hand casually.
"It's time to leave."
"I will send the emperor to the emperor."
All the ministers saluted again and sent away the emperor who came to honor him.
This also includes Gu Juefei.
When he bowed and saluted, Xiao Che knew that he didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, probably because he had something to do with himself.
Not a big deal either.
The follow-up to the peace talks with the Xiongnu and the reform of the imperial examination system still need to be discussed in the long run, not in a day or two.
So, he didn't force Gu Juefei to stay, but he left very naturally as if he didn't come with Gu Juefei when he came.
Most people are unaware of the anomaly.
But Lu Jinxi saw it clearly first, and now he also noticed this detail, and he thought more deeply.
The Princess Yongning and Grand Master Gu Chengqian next to her were no exception.
It's just that they knew more about the relationship between the emperor and Gu Juefei, and they were more than just thinking.
More complex.
But these undercurrents hidden under the surface of the water are invisible to others, or maybe they don't care if they notice it.
For example, Fang Shaoxing.
He may not have seen the intrigue in the courtroom, but he just didn't take it to heart.
As soon as the emperor left, he didn't need anyone to remind him, let alone help him, he stood up as soon as he held a gun, and randomly patted the dust that didn't exist on his body.
There are some aristocratic ladies far away who haven't had time to leave.
At this moment, when I only saw his handsome posture, and this handsome and tough face, I had the urge to be captivated, and even the scar at the corner of his eye looked good.
But Fang Shaoxing didn't look at them.
After they were almost gone, he paced to Lu Jinxi who had been watching him for a long time.
I don't change my lust, but laugh: "Madam has watched me for a long time."
There are many people here.
Lu Jinxi stood here and didn't leave, mainly because of Princess Yongning. After the emperor left, she didn't know what to think, walked over to Gu Chengqian and Wei Binggan, and went to the corner to talk.
After all, this aunt said she was going to take her all the way back, but she couldn't walk well, so she watched Fang Shaoxing for a long time.
Now that people say that in person, Lu Jinxi doesn't see the slightest bit of shyness or embarrassment on her face.
She looked calmly, and her expression was calm at the moment.
When I said it, there was no more ambiguous meaning at all, and I only said: "I lost sight of the past, and today I really know Mr. Fang."
"Oh?"
Fang Shaoxing's interest in her has never been hidden. First, she looks better than any woman he has ever seen, and secondly, it is completely different from the general's wife in his first impression.
The most attractive thing in the world is a woman with a secret.
The Lu Jinxi in front of me is in this row.
And he himself is but one of many captives drawn to this mystery.
This kind of cognition made Fang Shaoxing uncomfortable. But the more so, the more he wants to conquer this different woman.
Although...
She is the widow of her former boss.
Taking her words as a compliment, he showed a somewhat rebellious smile on his lips: "How about now compared to the general?"
Why is he so obsessed with comparing himself to Xue Kuang?
Lu Jinxi really didn't understand.
When he came to the palace banquet today to enter the palace gate, he stopped himself from entering, and asked a similar question. Unexpectedly, he asked when he left.
Lu Jinxi was a little curious: "If I don't answer, Mr. Fang won't let me go?"
"Not at all."
Fang Shaoxing laughed aloud, looking at him with a dignified expression, but when his eyes fell on Lu Jinxi's face, he suddenly surfaced a little bit of wickedness, a little joking.
"Fang prefers to kiss Fang Ze more than not letting his wife go."
“…”
This is a very explicit statement, and it goes too far.
Lu Jinxi doesn't like people who are too straightforward, but Fang Shaoxing never concealed his interest in her from beginning to end.
If the original Mr. Lu was here, he would have been so angry that he would have been so angry that he would be speechless.
Can Lu Jinxi...
She curved her lips slightly, looked around and smiled sarcastically: "I'll lend you two courage, can you try it?"
“…”
This time, it was Fang Shaoxing's turn to be speechless.
At the gate of the palace, in the audience, the eldest Princess Yongning, who hates him, has not gone far, not to mention the two pillars of the civil servants are still there...
Seeing the slightly mocking and teasing attitude of the general's wife, Fang Shaoxing felt very uncomfortable.
He stood still, but his eyes fell on Lu Jinxi's lightly curved lips.
"If I really dare, what will my wife do?"
"But you dare not."
Lu Jinxi was too lazy to answer him, her thin Yuanshan eyebrows raised, and her gentleness revealed a bit of sharpness like an ice knife and a snow sword.
Very vague, but enough to subvert the original temperament of this face in an instant.
At this moment, she is neither the Lu family nor the general's wife, but Lu Jinxi.
Lu Jinxi showed a little bit of fangs.
Fang Shaoxing was stunned.
Lu Jinxi smiled and didn't bother to dwell on it, so she turned around and left.
After all, it's not a place where no one is alone, so people can see her talking to Fang Shaoxing, and it can be argued that it's because of Xue Kuang's relationship in the past. But if it is too long, it will cause some unnecessary troubles.
She ignored Fang Shaoxing's expression.
Not far ahead is the gorgeous car of Princess Yongning. If she wants to come to talk about things with the two elders now, she will not come over for a while, but it is always right for her to wait near the car.
So as soon as the footsteps turned, Lu Jinxi walked over.
But she didn't expect to see Gu Juefei here.
In his hand, he was playing with a jade flute that he got from somewhere, and he was wearing a six-rank civil official uniform with blue embroidered snow white egrets on him, adding a three-point official air.
Although the rank is not high, it can give people a sense of authority and dignity.
The eyebrows are trimmed and the eyes narrow, and the long fingers are like bamboo.
The footsteps in the forward movement suddenly stopped.
Lu Jinxi was a little surprised.
Gu Juefei raised his eyes calmly, moving from the jade flute between his fingers to her body.
There is no flaw in the perfect face, and even the little smile on the corner of the mouth makes those who see it feel like a spring breeze.
Just exporting it made her a little dizzy.
"Do you want to lend me two guts, madam, let me try it?"
