[R18] The stars are brilliant, so lucky even (The stars are brilliant, the moon rises over the sea) – Chapter 114 of “The Stars Are Brilliant, How Lucky They Are (The Stars Are Brilliant·The Moon Rising Over the Sea)” [English]

Chapter 114

Ever since she woke up in a mud house in the countryside, Shaoshang has been under strict control. The difference is only ordinary control and strict control, and Pansi Great Immortal control. The queen and her third aunt only have ordinary control over her, as long as nothing big happens. Mrs. Xiao is under strict control.

This time, it was rare that there were no elders by his side. Young Shang abandoned his car and rode on horseback. Braving the chill of the early morning, he played the piccolo with great interest. The tune was lively, lively and comforting.Playing the flute requires a steady and powerful breath. However, due to the bumps on the horse’s back, the flute sound soared into the sky and fell into the air. The people around were very uncomfortable listening to it, but the player himself was extremely happy, fluttering in the wind all the way, joyfully.

Cheng Shaogong huddled helplessly in the carriage, his face turned blue after being tortured by the sound of the soul flute.

Even Wan Qiqi couldn’t stand it anymore, so she rode to Shaoshang’s side and said, “Isn’t it just a trip? You are so happy.”

Shaoshang put down his piccolo, and the tip of his cute and playful nose turned red from the cold: “It’s so rare to go out without anyone to control you!”

“What’s so rare? As long as I have enough guards and servants, I can go wherever I fall in love. My father always said that married women are the most pitiful. Just look at my eldest mother and you will know how happy I am in my mother’s family.” Wan Qiqi has no empathy.

“That sister, Qi Qi, simply got married.”

“But my father also said that women who cannot get married are even more pitiful.”

Shaoshang was speechless for a while and sighed: “Uncle Wan is such a good man. Sister Qiqi, it would be great if I were reincarnated as the fourteenth daughter of your family. Look at me. Needless to say, my mother has shown compassion and allowed me to go out and play…”

Cheng Shaogong leaned against the car window and said leisurely: “You really think that letting you go out this time is because my mother is showing mercy.”

Shaoshang was confused: “Isn’t it?”

“I’ll tell you if you promise to ride a horse and not play the flute.”

How could the young Shang be threatened? He flew up and kicked the carriage wall, causing the carriage to shake twice. Cheng Shaogong exclaimed like a delicate flower, and then the young Shang turned to ask his second brother Cheng Song.Cheng Song was talking to the leader of the soldiers at the front of the motorcade when he was called back by Wan Qiqi with a flying whistle. After learning the reason, he quickly answered the question, and the three of them retreated into an empty carriage at the end of the motorcade together.

“To avoid some trouble.” Cheng Song said.

Shaoshang looked confused.

Cheng Song didn’t know where to start, so he thought carefully and said, “Have you ever heard of the allusion of ‘a rare thing can be lived in’?”

“Second brother also came to test my knowledge!” Shao Shang was a little sad and angry, “I know this allusion, but don’t ask me which book it comes from. Is it okay to be struck by lightning if you don’t read much?”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant!” Cheng Song waved his hand quickly, “My mother means that because of you, my family now has some rare things to live in.”

“How do you say that?” Wan Qiqi was also confused.

“Little sister, how often do you see His Majesty now?”

“I’ll probably see you the next day.”

“Then how long will it take for you to talk to His Majesty?”

“As soon as I meet you, I’ll talk.”

Shao Shang felt puzzled, “But so what? Your Majesty’s personal bodyguard, Cen Anzhi, and the Luo family sister who used to accompany your mother-in-law can see Your Majesty from time to time?”

Cheng Song scratched his head and said: “Cen Neiguan will not say anything. Even Marquis Yu dare not underestimate him. But as for Madam Luo, I have checked it out. In fact, she does not often meet the emperor. Even if she does meet His Majesty, she is no different from an ordinary palace maid. She is not allowed to speak without His Majesty’s inquiry.”

This is the rule of the palace. No one below can speak first before the superior person opens his mouth.Shaoshang quickly said: “I never speak carelessly!” Except for his own defense when Uncle Huang lectured him.

“But you are so enlightened when you speak!” Cheng Song said.

Wan Qiqi clapped her hands: “Is it my father’s business?”

Cheng Song nodded: “My mother said that in the past, little sister could often see the saint, and everyone just waited and watched to see if it was another Madam Luo. But this time after Uncle Wan’s incident came out… little sister, you know, there are many visitors at home these days.Three times, many heavy gifts were sent inexplicably. My mother said, in two days, I am afraid that the request will come. If you refuse them all, you will offend others. I’d better let you go out to play. When Master Ling comes back, I will hand over this problem to you.”He.”In fact, Ling Buyi is a close minister of the emperor, and he is even more eloquent. Why does no one dare to ask him? It’s just a persimmon.

“Didn’t I say anything? My mother told me that Your Majesty had no intention of punishing Uncle Wan immediately.” Young Shang’s head was as big as a bucket.

He praised: “Later, my mother also said that if a strict and holy censor like Huang Wen is impeached, according to the usual rules, Your Majesty should take the lead in escorting Uncle Wan back to the capital to await trial… To review the case, uncle must go inLet’s go to Tingwei’s Mansion!But you asked me repeatedly, not to mention that he was escorted back to the capital. His Majesty didn’t even send the case to Tingwei’s Mansion.He only asked his uncle to come back to “report his duties” – little sister, you don’t understand officialdom, there is a huge difference.”

After hearing this, Wan Qiqi became even more grateful to Shao Shang. She hugged her dear son and kissed her several times, thanking her profusely.

Shaoshang opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a moment – so, Old Man Huang is actually very good to him?Or is it because of Ling Buyi’s influence?Or both?

“Your Majesty probably thought this was just a trivial matter and didn’t take it seriously.” She hesitated.

“It’s a trivial matter. Your Majesty’s order to be escorted is a trivial matter, and raising your hand to let him go is also a trivial matter.” Cheng Song continued, “It is said that there are people in the court who are good at serving as officials. At a critical moment, having someone who can talk to His Majesty is worth a lot of money. But how many people in this world can persuade His Majesty? The last time His Majesty pardoned Colonel Dou’s crime of disrespect, it was the princess’s consort who begged Your Majesty.”

Shao Shang said: “The Prince Consort is considerate and eloquent. His Majesty really loves him very much.”

“Nowadays, there are a lot of people who want to make friends with our family. If we just make friends, we don’t have anything to worry about. It’s just a fool’s errand. My mother is not afraid. But what if someone asks you to speak in front of His Majesty?”

Shaoshang was sweating on his forehead and nodded like a fool: “My mother is right, Lord Ling is not in the capital, so I’d better come out. When we are confident enough in the future, we won’t have anything to worry about.”

Wan Qiqi was about to hug Shao Shang to express her gratitude when the car door was suddenly opened.

“——What are you three hiding here?!” Cheng Shaogong, wrapped in white fox fur, stood outside the car angrily, “The steward can’t find you, so he has to come to me!”

“What’s going on?” Cheng Song asked.

“We have a visitor, looking for my little sister.”

Upon hearing this, the three people in the car all shrank.

“No way, are you chasing me here?” Shao Shang was panicked. If someone really powerful came to ask for a favor, would he agree or not?

“Don’t be afraid, little sister, I’ll go take a look first.” Cheng Song said solemnly.

“It’s better for me to go. My surname is Wan. I won’t be the one to cause trouble for you.” Wan Qiqi made a show of getting out of the car.

“What are you pushing around for?” Cheng Shaogong gathered his fur and said impatiently, “It’s Lou Yao, and the He family’s wife. They were going back to the capital, and they happened to run into us.”

The expressions of the three people in the car changed again. Cheng Song and Wan Qiqi looked at each other and smiled, while Shao Shang was a little uneasy.Cheng Song said: “Since it’s Ah Yao, let’s go meet him, little sister.” During the engagement with the Lou family, he still liked his future sister-in-law very much.

Shaoshang thought for a while, got out of the car and went to meet someone.

Cheng Shaogong looked inside the car: “Why don’t my second brother and sister Qi Qi come over?”

Wan Qiqi squinted: “There is an old dispute between the three of you. If we have something to say, why should we go over there? Young Palace, it’s time for you to grow up and stop acting like a three-year-old child.”

Cheng Song smiled and said: “Qiqi, you are thinking too much. How can he be three years old? He is only two years old, and he is still wearing a diaper, hehehe…”

Wan Qiqi laughed together.

Cheng Shaogong sneered and said: “Think clearly, although Ling Buyi left, he left a team of guards for the younger sister to escort him in and out of the palace all day long. This time when we go out, they also joined our convoy. We will go to Lou Yao with the younger sister. Do you think Ling Buyi will know? What will happen if he finds out.”

Wan Qiqi made an oops sound first, and Cheng Song changed his face and said, “Why didn’t you say anything just now!” After saying that, the two of them jumped out of the car and chased after her.

“——Brains are a good thing. You two have to find at least one after you get married!” Cheng Shaogong complained to his back.

When Cheng Song and Wan Qiqi arrived, Shao Shang was saying: “…Don’t worry, I’m fine, but those who pushed me into the water all suffered.”

Lou Yao stood three steps in front of Shao Shang and whispered: “Everyone told me that since you are engaged, it would be better for you and me to see each other less…”

Shaoshang felt a little uncomfortable. They used to have endless things to talk about, but now everything seemed awkward.

Cheng Song strode forward and patted Lou Yao on the shoulder impatiently: “Ah Yao, long time no see, you have changed a lot!”

Lou Yao is now thin and tall, but the heroic spirit that used to be as vigorous as the sun seems to be covered with a veil, and even his smile is a little gloomy.He was fully aware of Cheng Song’s intentions and said with relief, “Brother Zifu, I heard that you have made an appointment with Madam Wan, so I would like to say congratulations first.”

Wan Qiqi also took a few steps forward and looked around: “Hey, Mr. Lou, where is your wife? Maybe she and I have not seen each other for a long time and miss her very much. Why don’t we talk to her?” Damn it, didn’t Cheng Shaogong say that the couple came together.

At this time, the carriage parked nearby suddenly opened the side curtain, revealing a proud and beautiful face.He Zhaojun said: “I’m here, what do you want to say to me?”

Wan Qiqi was speechless for a moment, and Shao Shang stepped forward and said calmly: “It’s nothing, we just want to know. It’s freezing cold now. Did you quarrel again when you came back from outside the city?” It was already the twelfth lunar month, and even if He Zhaojun was out of anger, Lou Yao had to take her back.

A miserable cold wind blew by, and everyone fell silent.Lou Yao said awkwardly: “No, it’s not…” He Zhaojun interrupted her husband and said to Shaoshang: “It seems that you and Lou Yao can’t talk. Why don’t we have a chat and let your brother talk to Ah Yao.”

“That’s what I meant.” Shaoshang neatly lifted up his skirt and got into the car.

“Let me talk first.” He Zhaojun didn’t change at all. He spoke urgently and quickly, but he was a little more calm. “I didn’t quarrel with Ah Yao. We went out of the city to see my stepmother. She is sick.”

Shaoshang nodded: “It’s good that we didn’t quarrel, but even if we don’t quarrel this time, you will definitely quarrel often.”

He Zhaojun’s face darkened: “Don’t mind other people’s husband and wife’s business!”

“I really shouldn’t care, but I don’t like you, so I just want you to be unhappy. If you are unhappy, I will be happy, so I will say whatever you don’t like.” Shaoshang is not a person who follows the rules.

There was silence in the car.

“It seems that you and I have nothing to say.” He Zhaojun said.

“Not bad.”

Shaoshang stood up to get out of the car. He pressed his hand on the wall of the car and stopped, saying in a low voice: “The human heart is made of flesh, and it is difficult to forget someone so quickly. It has not been a year, and I have already forgotten almost everything. Ah Yao will also forget. You should pay more attention.”

He Zhaojun was silent. He took off a gold armband set with rubies from his hand and handed it to Shao Shang: “This is the last birthday gift left to me by my late father. Thank you for your tolerance.”

Shao Shang looked at the equally brilliant armband on her other hand: “Actually, don’t you think a pair should be given as a gift?”

He Zhaojun:……

As they walked out of Sizhou, the four of them kept talking, laughing and making fun of each other. Unfortunately, due to Mrs. Xiao’s strict restraint, they missed many opportunities to have fun along the way.Until they approached Xu County, they met Comrade Lao Wan on the official road who had just set off for two days.
