Long Shixing looked at his daughter and then at Qin Lang. He had seen countless girls in his life, but he didn't know anything about his daughter. In the past, he always thought that it was because his daughter was sent to her for raising her since childhood and the father and daughter lacked communication. Even he thought that her daughter had a purpose in this marriage, but he felt warmth and tenderness from his daughter's eyes when she looked at Qin Lang. His daughter seemed to have never looked at him with such a gaze. After all, there is still true love in this world.

Long Shixing understood his daughter's intentions. She wanted to take this opportunity to narrow the distance between him and Qin Lang. It is really a pity to think about his father. There is always a deep gap between him and his daughter. Recently, he has been trying hard to improve, but his daughter is extremely indifferent to him. The consideration for him tonight is actually because of Qin Lang. His biological father actually benefited from an outsider.

Long Shixing asked them to sit down. This daughter never belonged to him and would be farther and farther away from him in the future. If she didn't give at the beginning, she could not ask for rewards now.

Long Xixi filled the wine for his father and Qin Lang, poured a glass of wine himself, and sat next to Qin Lang.

Qin Lang picked up the wine glass and said, "Prince, I wish you!"

Long Shixing touched the wine glass with them, drank it all in one go, and sighed: "Xixi, we two haven't had dinner together for a long time."

Long Xixi said: "I haven't been back to Yong for a while, but my father happened to be too busy again."

Long Shixing was secretly ashamed. In order to cover up his eyes, he always created an image of a prince who was pampered and indulged in the sensuality of the world. He had unknowingly got used to such a life, and he couldn't even tell when to disguise what he was the real self.

Qin Lang followed suit and said, "I will come to visit you often after I get married."

Long Shixing said, "I really want to live in Jinyuan?" After saying that, he shook his head and said, "That place is unlucky." There were so many ominous things happening in Jinyuan. The Empress Dowager gave them the place to be the county horse mansion, which was really sinister.

Long Xixi said: "As the saying goes, "There is a good thing, and all bad things have happened. It should get better and better in the future. Anyway, I like that place very much." Although there have been many unlucky things in Jinyuan, they are ultimately man-made disasters. Long Xixi is a person who does not believe in evil. She neither wants to stay in Prince Qing's Mansion nor the Sang family. Jinyuan is naturally the best choice.

Long Shixing took the initiative to find Qin Lang to have a glass of wine. Qin Lang was flattered and quickly stood up. Long Shixing asked him to sit down and said earnestly: "Qin Lang, I only have this daughter. Since she is determined to marry you, I can't stop her. You must treat her well in the future. If she is wronged, I will never forgive you."

"Don't worry, my prince, I promise to treat her better than you."

Long Shixing was stunned, but Long Xixi laughed.

Long Shixing glared at Qin Lang: "Drink!" This sentence is not about dividing the relationship between them, they are better than me, ashamed, my father is indeed not very good to her biological daughter, and I missed the whole process of her growth.

Qin Lang drank the glass of wine, took the wine pot from Long Xixi and filled it with Long Shixing.

Long Shixing thought to himself that he didn't know how long this comfortable life could last. Since the Empress Dowager was a matchmaker, he had not had a peaceful life in his heart. He always felt that Xiao Zirong would attack him. The appearance of this secret letter made him even more nervous.

Qin Lang also realized the nervousness of Prince Qing, and he told the story of the empress dowager hiring him to the emperor as a teacher.

Long Shixing frowned. He was suspicious by nature and linked this matter with the secret letter. He felt that there might be a big conspiracy in it. If Qin Lang entered the palace, the Pope's paintings and casually put him on the hat of intention to rebel, the kid could not argue. The key is that he became his son-in-law again, and he would definitely affect the entire Prince Qing's Mansion.

Long Xixi said: "Father, are you particularly worried that the Empress Dowager will not be good for us?"

Long Shixing smiled bitterly and said, "There are people who make up gold and destroy bones. In the past thirty years, there has never been any rumors about this king in the court. The old emperor is also very cautious about me. It is a pity that I am loyal but ambitious."

Qin Lang said: "I don't think the Queen Mother is directed at you, otherwise there is no need to do this."

Long Xixi said: "If it were me, I wouldn't have to deal with a powerless prince."

As soon as this said, Long Shixing looked embarrassed. Although Qin Lang was his future son-in-law, he was still an outsider after all, and his daughter was too embarrassed to speak for herself.

Long Xixi lowered her voice and said, "Have you ever thought about treason?"

Long Shixing's expression changed and said angrily: "What are you talking about, girl?" He paused the wine glass in his hand heavily, stood up suddenly, and slammed the door and came out.

Qin Lang sighed, looked at Long Xixi and shook his head. How could she speak without distinguishing the occasion?

Seeing Long Xixi calm and composed appearance, I immediately realized that she was deliberately arousing Long Shixing.

Long Xixi said: "He doesn't have the courage to rebel."

In the early morning, before dawn, Lu Buyao came to the courtyard with a lantern. That night he couldn't sleep. The resignation statement given to the empress dowager had not been answered yet. Lu Buyao felt that the situation was getting worse and worse. Chen Qiongnian had returned to Yongdu, but he did not come to visit him as usual. Perhaps because of his busy official duties, or perhaps to avoid suspicion, Lu Buyao was more inclined to the latter.

A few days ago, when Prince Qing County Prince Long Shixing came to visit him, he gave a hint that he would not miss the opportunity and never come again. On the day of the princess' wedding, the empress dowager would go to testify in person. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, the panic that Long Shixing showed in an instant disappointed Lu Buyao. He worked hard for so many years, not for himself, but for repaying King Jing Long Mingda's kindness of acquaintance, and for the welfare of the people of Dayong. However, Long Shixing obviously lacked the courage of his father.

Looking at the snowflakes, Lu Buyao felt indescribable emptiness and loneliness. After spending so many years of hard work, he failed. He misreaded the people. Without his support, Xiao Zirong could not reach his current status. He never thought that the chess piece in his eyes would actually retaliate against him.

The housekeeper Lu An walked over with a worn sable fur and draped it on Lu Buyao's shoulder. The sable fur has been more than 30 years, and it was given to him by King Jing Long Mingda.

Lu An said: "Prince, you must take care of yourself when you first recovered from a serious illness."

Lu Bu laughed: "In your heart, I am just a weak little girl."

Lu An wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said respectfully: "Madam asked me to take care of the prime minister."

Lu Buyao said: "Qingling is still summer now, right?"

Lu An said: "There are no four seasons there, it will always be summer."

Lu Buyao nodded.

"The prime minister misses home?"

Lu Buyao said: "When the Empress Dowager approves my resignation, we can return south. For some reason, I suddenly got tired of these distinctive places in the four seasons." He knew in his heart that he was not tired, but tired. The biggest disadvantage of distinctive four seasons is that it makes you feel that the sun and the moon pass by, and time passes in the alternation of cold. Although the other side of my hometown is hot, the consistent temperature makes people feel that time is long. When I get old, I hope that time will go slower. When I get old, I think of the various benefits of my hometown, especially in this snowy weather, and I miss the hot and warm sun in the sky in my hometown.

The sky in the east finally turned pale, but there was no sign of clearness when it was dawn. The heavy snow might have to fall all day long. Lu Buyao suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. He asked Lu An to prepare a car and take him to Babu Academy.

Lu An didn't understand why his master had to go out on this heavy snowy day, but the habit he had developed over the years made him not ask too much. He prepared the carriage and sent Lu Buyao to Babu Academy in the wind and snow.

On the way to Babu Academy, Lu Buyao kept pulling the curtains open and looking at the snowy scene outside through the car window. Because it was snowing, there were few pedestrians on the road. Lu Buyao originally wanted to come out to relax, but because of the cold scene outside, he felt like he was abandoned by the whole world.

No longer the head of the three ministers who are surrounded by them, but just an old man in his seventies who is about to withdraw from the center of power.

Lu Buyao was not convinced of his old age, but he could not change the reality that he had grown old in the eyes of others. His disciples and his disciples were not as loyal and reliable as they imagined.

The carriage passed by Jinyuan and saw someone repairing the courtyard wall in the wind and snow. Lu Buyao was familiar with this place and knew that it was about to become a county horse mansion. He remembered that no one still gave him wedding invitations. It would be fine if Sang Jingtian didn't give him a wedding invitation. Even his disciple Prince Qing did not send him wedding invitations. It seemed a bit unreasonable in theory.

The sound of horses sounded from the side. The two horses pulling the cart were so scared that they neighed at the same time because of the sound of horses. The four hooves were nailed to the snow surface and stopped moving forward, obviously giving way to the passing knights.

Lu Buyao raised his eyes and saw a black and shiny horse passing by, immediately sitting a majestic young man, the future county horse Qinlang.

The carriage stopped moving forward and had nothing to do with Lu An who drove. It was because the two horses felt awe when they saw the Black Wind, and stopped moving forward and let it go first.

Because the curtain of the carriage was not pulled up, Qin Lang also saw Lu Buyao in the carriage. Lu Buyao, who faced the most powerful minister, could not pretend to be invisible. He held the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and led the black wind to the side of the road. He should give way to Lu Buyao in terms of seniority and status.

From Qin Lang's actions, Lu Buyao knew that he recognized him and said to Qin Lang with a smile: "Is it Qin Lang?"

Qin Lang bowed to the ground: "Qin Lang meets with Prime Minister!"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "I have been famous for a long time. I have never seen you." He asked Lu An to stop the carriage, push open the door and walk down. When Qin Lang saw him get out of the car, he hurried forward to support him and reminded him, "Sir, please slide carefully."

Lu Buyao laughed and said, "Am I so old that I can't walk anymore?"

"This is not what the humble position means. The Prime Minister is in his prime and in good spirits."

Lu Buyao said: "Being young? I am nearly 70 years old, so where is it still the first time I am."

Qin Lang knew that the old man in front of him was not only Prime Minister Da Yong, but also the third generation of imperial masters, but also the great master of Wen Xiu's sixth grade and second-class. Looking at this world, Lu Buyao is also a top master of Wen Xiu.

There are thousands of great ways, and there are thousands of ways of practicing. But no matter how changes are, the great ways will return together. After the practice is complete, you can reach the broken void and reach the realm of picking stars.

Lu Buyao stepped on the snow, his steps were obviously staggering. Qin Lang couldn't help but wonder. With his cultivation level, he shouldn't have been like this, so he was careful to be with him, for fear that the old man would make any mistakes. What if he fell and was hindered by himself?

Lu Bu shook a few steps and stopped the trail: "I have been here in Jinyuan several times. I heard that the Queen Mother gave you the Ma Mansion in the County?"

Qin Lang said respectfully: "The emperor's grace is so great, and he is grateful for his humble position."

Lu Buyao said: "You don't need to be careful with fear and fear. I have already handed over my resignation and decided to retire and return home. I want to go in and take a look. Don't you object?"

"It's my honor!" Since Lu Buyao did not act like an official, Qin Lang called himself a junior.

Lu Buyao asked Lu An to wait outside and walked into Jinyuan with Qin Lang. At this time, the snow was getting lighter. Lu An handed Qin Lang an umbrella. Qin Lang originally wanted to hold an umbrella for Lu Buyao, but Lu Buyao refused.

After yesterday's emergency repair, most of the damaged areas have been completed. Now only a small part of the courtyard walls are being repaired. This sudden snowfall has caused them some trouble.

Lu Buyao said: "Have you ever known what happened here?"

Qin Lang nodded.

Lu Buyao said: "I only know one thing but not the other. In fact, Jinyuan was part of the Eight Academies in the past. Later, Emperor Mingzong gave it to Princess Yude and the Prince Consort, and made someone rebuild it into the Prince Consort's Mansion. No bad thing had ever happened before becoming the Prince Consort's Mansion."

Qin Lang thought to himself that Lu Buyao was the third generation of imperial teacher, so Lu Buyao should be the teacher of Mingzong.

Lu Buyao pointed to the center of Jinyuan and said, "In the past, there was a rockery here, which was made up of strange stones from the Xuhai Sea. After the princess and the princess died, the rockery was still there. A few years ago, the old emperor came here by chance and decided to rebuild Jinyuan. Lu Xingqiao said that the rockery damaged the Feng Shui of Jinyuan, so the old emperor asked someone to demolish the rockery, which is a pity for Jinyuan."

Qin Lang was a little curious: "Where did that rockery move?"

"It was sunk into Panchi." The Panchi in Lu Buyao's mouth was the pond in Babu Academy. In fact, the pond was not far from here, just next to Jinyuan, with a courtyard wall between them. Before this place became the Prince's Mansion, the wall did not exist, which was equivalent to Emperor Shunde forcibly drew a piece from Babu Academy.

Lu Buyao said: "The prince-in-law was named Gu Yuesheng at that time. When she was executed, she was only twenty-eight years old. I still remember the scene when he was in trouble. The Gu family was killed and implicated in nine tribes. Originally, Princess Yude could save her life, but she insisted on going to die with her husband." At this point, Lu Buyao sighed, looking quite regretful.

Not long after Gu Yuesheng's rebellion, he was revealed to him. It was a slander of Daye Kingdom, but the big mistake had been made. The Gu family was executed by the whole family, and even Princess Yude was dead. Emperor Shunde issued an edict for this and went to Dabaoen Temple to eat vegetarian food and recite Buddhist scriptures for three months to make up for his debts to his dead sister and husband. But everyone was dead, and no matter how much he did, it would be useless.

Qin Lang led Lu Buyao to visit the Junma Mansion. The Junma Mansion after the snow was decorated with particularly elegant style.

Lu Buyao said: "Gu Yuesheng is a rare talented man, both outstanding in poetry and painting. When he was killed, he had reached the level of double fifth-grade literary and painting cultivation."

Qin Lang didn't know much about this unjustly death prince consort. When Lu Buyao talked about it, he realized that he was such a powerful person. According to what Lu Buyao said just now, Gu Yuesheng was only twenty-eight years old when he died, and twenty years had passed. If he could survive to this day, wouldn't he be able to reach the level of the double sixth grade? Wen Xiu can compete with Lu Buyao, and painting cultivation is even more amazing. At present, the strongest person in Da Yong's painting cultivation has reached the level of the fifth grade master.

Lu Buyao said: "I also pleaded for him at that time, but it's a pity..."

In fact, it was not necessary for him to say that Qin Lang knew that the entourage had not been successful. At that time, Lu Buyao was not the prime minister of the dynasty and did not have such a great say in this day.

Qin Lang said: "I heard that a singer died here once?"

Lu Buyao said, "The singer did not die in Jinyuan, it was a misunderstanding." The tone of the conversation turned around and said, "I haven't congratulated you and the princess on the great joy."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Lu Buyao saw that the gap in the courtyard wall had not yet been repaired, and walked through the gap to Babu Academy, so he walked towards the gap and said to Qin Lang: "Today is the first day of the New Year. I took a shortcut to burn incense to the saints."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Prime Minister, please do." Lu Bu shook the door and insisted on taking a shortcut from here. It should be that the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

He accompanied Lu Buyao to the gap and wanted to stop moving forward, Lu Buyao said, "Are you going?"

Qin Lang had not been to Babu Academy yet, and was also a little curious. He saw Lu Buyao walking tremblingly, worried that he would slip alone, so he followed him and specifically told the craftsmen not to rush to block the wall holes. They would return from here when they turned around. It was still snowing, and the project was not in a hurry.

Lu Buyao suggested: "It's just a small gate here, so it's convenient for you to visit the academy in the future."
