Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 596 The Ritual of Obedience
After the Cuju competition, because of the return of the righteous Huangfu Jue, Li Mao, Qian Yu and the others also trust him and no longer have any doubts about his relationship with Huangfu Jue.

Huang Fujue was still busy as usual, only he, wearing a mask as usual, faced these people with concealment, resentment and shame.

Especially Huangfu Jue, he has reached the point where he doesn't know how to get along with him!

one afternoon.

In the courtyard of the Study Room of the Empress Palace.

"Your Majesty, you must concentrate when practicing martial arts."

Huangfujue came over and stood behind Hou Xiri to correct his posture.

I didn't feel it before, but now that he is standing closer, he can strongly feel the heat on this man's body, the way Huangfu Lord's hand corrected his luck.

"No need to hold your breath."

His palm lightly pressed one of his dantians, and Hou Xiri suddenly became angry: "Lord Huangfu, where did you touch me?!"

Seeing him retreating in disgust, then looking at his own hands, Huangfujue suddenly realized that he had indeed touched his dantian, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to correct His Majesty's breathing, and I will definitely not do this next time."

Later, he already hated these actions of Huangfujue, probably the childhood memories still made him unable to let go.

Some time ago, he questioned his relationship with Han Xiang, maybe he couldn't accept Huangfu Jue even more.

Seeing Huangfujue's apologetic face, Hou Xizhou felt very regretful in his heart. He was not angry at him at all, but because of his own sensitivity. Now he felt that what Huangfujue did was wrong, and everything he said made him irritable and in a bad mood To the extreme.

"I'm tired, I won't practice anymore."

Then he left without picking his pick, completely disregarding Huangfu Jue's hard work when he came back from the barracks, and came to teach him how to practice.

Probably really tired.

Lord Huangfu didn't care.

Another day, Huangfu Jue was sitting in the old place of the study reading a book, when Hou Xizhou came in without even saying hello, he got up and saluted him.

"His Majesty."

"Yeah." Hou Xixi sat down at the desk to review the memorial, neither hot nor cold.

He thought in his heart that he would never go to see Huangfu Jue, but the more he tried to avoid it, the more he cared. He didn't approve a few of his memorials in the past morning.

Huangfujue noticed his anxiety very carefully, and poured him a cup of tea: "Your Majesty should rest for a while before continuing, there is no need to push yourself too hard."

Hou Xi and day turned a deaf ear and continued to immerse themselves in the playbook.

After the past few days, Xi Zhou's state has been a little abnormal, and Huangfu Jue asked with concern: "Have you encountered any difficult things, why don't you talk about it and discuss it together?"

"No."

That's strange, there haven't been any rumors recently, and the government affairs are considered smooth, but why is Hou Xiri's condition particularly bad: "Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"

"No."

"Then why have you been restless lately?"

"When was I restless?" Hou Xizhou raised his head and looked at him with cold eyes, and his words were also very cold, "Why does the Prime Minister think that I am restless?"

"Seeing that His Majesty has been unable to start with the memorial this morning, I'm just a little worried."

"That's because Mr. Xiangguo has been turning the pages of the book, and I can't concentrate because of the noise." After saying this reason, he wanted to beat himself up, which is too far-fetched.

It was so far-fetched that even Huangfu Jue noticed that he seemed to be angry with himself.

Could it be that he was angry because he touched his dantian last time?But when I think about it carefully, there are times when Xi Zhou gets closer to him.

If it wasn't because of his disrespect, then it wasn't because he was in a bad mood, right?

Or is there such a period for all human beings?When the mental pressure is high, the temper will become elusive.Thinking about it this way, no matter whether he provoked it or not, Huangfu Jue still saluted him very generously:
"... I am rude, and I will take my leave first. If your majesty has anything to do, I will be here at any time."

Lord Huangfu left.

Seeing only his study room left, and looking at the stack of books that Huang Fujue often read on the side of the window, Hou Xi Zhou frantically swept everything on the desk!

He thinks it's rare to smash things like this in anger, but now he really can't advance or retreat, and his heart is burning with anxiety.After losing his temper today, he felt that he was too naive, and made up his mind to only care about state affairs, and would not bother about anything else, and everything would still be as it was before Huangfu Jue came back.

Because he was worried about the state of the day and night, Lord Huangfu came to the court on time these few days, and put forward various pertinent opinions, which were highly praised and approved by the courtiers.

It seems that everything is moving in the direction everyone expected, and the two major figures Hou Xiri and Huangfu Jue are doing their jobs in peace and harmony. Everyone is very happy to hear about the current government affairs.

Huangfujue still lives in Jifuxuan in the Queen's Palace, and there is still no concubine in Houxiri. Apart from the servants, he and his Xiangguo live in the palace, but it has been a long time since there have been rumors of an ambiguous relationship between the two.Of course, Lord Huangfu hadn't read in the study for a long time.

but……

Luanhuang went to Houxizhou's study today, and found a pile of books on the desk in front of the window, it seemed that someone had seen half of them there before.

"Xiangshan, why isn't this place cleaned up in such a mess?"

Xiang Shan said: "The king said to keep it and not let it move."

"Don't let me move?"

"Yes, the last time Master Xiang came to read the book, he didn't finish it, so he just left it."

It turned out that it was reserved for her master, but... there is no need to do so, right?When she cleaned up the master's study room on weekdays, he didn't ask her not to let them be touched.

But keep it and keep it.

Hou Xi and Zhou came in through the door, saw Luan Huang, and glanced at the pile of books in front of the window naturally, but there was no sign of anyone else.

"Why did Master come here?"

"Why can't you come to His Majesty?"

"sit."

Xiang Shan poured tea for the two of them and stepped back respectfully.

Luanhuang said: "Master Xiang has already assigned the Yin-Yang soldiers to each camp, Your Majesty should also impose security in the palace."

"Well, Master Xiang has redeployed the guards in the palace, but there is no news of the battle coming from the front line. The war has been chaotic for many years, and all countries are recuperating and recharging their energy. Hong Ba must be the same."

"Recently there have been a lot of bizarre deaths in various provinces. These may not be accidental. The back city is heavily guarded. However, His Majesty must not take it lightly. Demons and ghosts have appeared in the land of long battles, not to mention that the human catastrophe has been carried out intermittently for more than ten years. "

It was getting colder, the wind outside made the windows rattle, and the last few leaves of the pear tree in the front yard of the study were still falling.

"Did Master Xiang ask Master to say these words?"

"He's already explained it, right? I shouldn't need to repeat it." It's true that Lord Huangfu didn't ask her to say it, and what should be said, Lord Huangfu will naturally explain it clearly to Hou Xizhou.

Indeed, he made it very clear in the hall early in the court.

I drank tea in silence during the day and night.

Luanhuang suddenly thought of something and asked excitedly: "By the way, do you know what book Xiangye is reading recently?"

Later in the evening, he looked at her.

Luanhuang smiled and said: "The way to get along with people, what else... Human psychology, growth studies and so on."

Hou Xizhou was slightly taken aback, and seemed to understand why Huangfujue would read these things, presumably he made him worry.

Luanhuang said: "When did my master need to learn how to get along with others? It's strange to say that Xiangye suddenly called me back and asked me to stay with His Majesty..."

Speaking of this, Luanhuang had a vague premonition.

"Your Majesty will not have any conflicts with the Prime Minister, right?"

Like political disagreement or something.That's all Luanhuang could think of.

"how come?"

Luanhuang: "Don't look at Xiangye who is usually kind and polite, but few people can shake what he insists on. However, I can assure you that Xiangye is definitely not someone who can't make sense. If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them. It’s not convenient to say, but I can also do it for you.”

Outsiders don't understand anything.

Including Huangfu Jue must also be baffled, that's why he studied how to get along with others. In fact, he is the one who has obstacles in getting along with others, and it has nothing to do with others.Hou Xi Zhou gritted his teeth tightly, got up and said, "I see, if Master has nothing else to do, let's go to rest first."

"Don't forget, I'm His Majesty's guard now, and I'll be there whenever you want."

Luanhuang went out without bothering.

Maybe, he should go to Huangfu Jue to apologize, maybe it's nothing at all, he just did something out of line because he drank too much that night, anyway, no one knows, he just treats it as his own secret.

Why do you have to act as if you can't see anyone...

Today's Huangfu Lord must think that he did something rude to him, or he hated his improper relationship with Han Xiang or others before, so he was disgusted by him.

Therefore, it has been a long time since I talked to him about anything other than state affairs.

When going out, Xiang Shan put a cloak of opinion on him. It was raining that day, and it was so cold that his breath turned into white mist. He came to Jifuxuan and rehearsed it many times in his heart before entering the door. nature.

Even if Qiuyun wanted to report, he said he would not.

Huangfu Jue was not in the house, but under a pavilion at the end of the corridor, playing chess face to face.

There is a furnace of charcoal next to it, and wine is simmering on the charcoal fire. Outside the pavilion, it is raining in winter, and the two inside the pavilion are drinking hot wine while playing chess.And the one playing chess with him is not someone else, but Han Xiang.

Han Xiang raised her eyes and smiled at him from time to time, and poured wine for him thoughtfully, her red and white figures looked very harmonious in the heat.

He thought he was in a calm mood, but because of this scene, he burned up again, and before the familiar anger hit his heart, Hou Xizhou turned and left Jifuxuan.

After the morning morning.

Later in the evening, he retreated to leave the hall as usual.

Huangfu Jue hadn't seen this person smile for a long time, after thinking for a while, he took the initiative to follow Hou XiZhou.

"His Majesty."

Hou Xiri stopped and turned around: "What's the matter, Mr. Xiang?"

"Yesterday, Gan Yu and Qi Guang brought some fine wines to my ministers. The wines are chilly to drink at room temperature, and they are mellow after warming up. I think His Majesty should like them. How about sincerely inviting Your Majesty to taste the fine wines at Jifuxuan?"

Do what you like, and share good things with each other, which can ease the relationship between the two.Huangfu Jue, who doesn't like to take the initiative to coax people, did what the book said today, just to make Hou Xizhou laugh.

But Hou Xizhou's attention was not on the wine he described, but he sneered and asked coldly: "Was Qi Guang and Qian Yu sent the wine to Xiangye yesterday?"
