C89 (2/2)
”Jue Er taught me? ”Of course.” Lian Si Yue happily agreed. Only when she was with Lian Jue would she be able to have a pure and innocent heart, and release her childish nature.
”I have a lot of weapons. I'll take you to pick them.” Lian Jue led Lian Si Yue and happily entered his weapons room. Inside were many high grade weapons.
Lian Si Yue knew that Lian Jue was Lian Yan Qing's only son so he did not hold back when it came to nurturing Lian Jue.
It was also because of this that Auntie Xiao and the others treated Lian Jue as a thorn in their side, and wanted to use such a cruel way to get rid of him.
After looking around the weapons room, Lian Si Yue shook her head and said in a pitiful manner, ”These weapons are too much of a burden to me, I might not even be able to lift them up.”
Lian Jue pondered for a moment, then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he took down a dagger from his waist, handed it over to Lian Si Yue with both hands, and said:
”This is a treasure that I brought along with me, and I'm giving it to you now. Although it is light and nimble, it is extremely sharp, and can cut through metal like mud.”
The dagger was small and exquisite, with a huge ruby inlaid on the handle. It shone under the sun and was extremely beautiful.
Lian Si Yue reached out and took it, looking at it carefully, ”I really like that.”
”I also have a name for this dagger. It's called Yueyue.” Lian Jue introduced.
”Chu Yue? What a beautiful name, worthy of this sword. ” Lian Si Yue fondled the dagger, feeling that she was fondling it more and more.
When the two of them arrived outside the room, Lian Jue stood in front of Lian Si Yue and began to teach her moves and moves.
”The most important thing about this short weapon is that you have to learn how to use the fastest speed possible to deal the most fatal blow to your opponent.”
Lian Si Yue was very perceptive, she quickly mastered the positions she had taught him.
Lian Jue stood at the side, staring at her as she practiced every move. When the wind blew, little white pear blossoms would slowly fall, and she seemed to be immersed in a field of moving snow. Those little white flowers floated into her hair, and his clothes and eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting.
However, Lian Jue's gaze was slowly filled with an unnoticeable sadness. He did not know if the wind would continue blowing from this direction, and did not know if Pear Blossom would continue falling like this next year.
”Lian Jue, look, is this right?” The joyous voice brought his thoughts back to reality. He raised his head and looked over, only to see Lian Si Yue looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
Such a clear Lian Si Yue was truly rare.
”Very good. You're even better than me.” Lian Jue calmed his emotions and walked over.
”Jue Er...” At this time, Lian Yan Qing walked into the Wen Hua Yuan. When Lian Si Yue and Lian Jue saw him, they turned around and respectfully said —
”Yes.” Lian Yan Qing nodded in agreement, but her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Lian Si Yue indicated with her mouth towards Lian Jue and Lian Jue understood. She stepped forward and asked, ”I wonder what business does Father have to suffer such a loss? Jue Er originally split father's worries.”
Lian Yan Qing sighed, and said, ”Jue Er, you are still young, and are unable to help. All you need to do is seriously practice martial arts and read, and not worry about your father.”
”Father, are you worried about matters of the court?” Right now, the princes were secretly fighting for power, and the current situation in the middle of the imperial court was the most uncertain of all. As a Prime Minister and the elder brother of the Consort Lianshu, Lian Yan Qing had to tread on thin ice.
Lian Yan Qing did not expect this daughter of her, who seemed to be confused in the past, to instantly see through his thoughts. He sighed, and said, ”Even though father is on the same level as Prime Minister, but I'm also like a tiger accompanying a king. The few princes seem calm on the surface, but they're actually watching him like a tiger in the dark.
Lian Si Yue said, ”Rites: Moderation is a dao, in which a gentleman is kind but not kind, being strong and correct; being neutral and not relying on, being strong and correct. Since the Emperor had not been decided yet, why not stay neutral for the time being, be impartial and only try his best for the Emperor, and only make plans when the time was right?
Furthermore, according to what my daughter thinks, most likely, the Emperor is also secretly observing whether or not there are people among the crowd who are forming alliances with the Prince. Those ministers who are openly and secretly supporting a certain prince might one day be convicted by the Emperor for forming a clique here. ”
Originally, Lian Yan Qing's heart was filled with contradictions, but Lian Si Yue's words made her feel enlightened, as if she was enlightened.
He couldn't help but look at his daughter with admiration, nodding, ”What you said is true. Yue Er, I didn't expect that you would have such an insightful understanding of court affairs.”
Lian Si Yue smiled humbly, ”Father is a noble Prime Minister, but he was actually very clear about the situation in his heart. It's just that in the situation, he also has to weigh the benefits from all sides, making it difficult to make a decision for the time being.”
”Father, you don't know. Big Sister is much smarter than me. Just now, when I taught her sword dance, she instantly learned it. She's even faster than me.” Seeing that Lian Si Yue had finally gotten praise from her father and was not stingy with praising his sister, Lian Yan Qing praised her once again.
”Jue Er, stop spouting nonsense.” Lian Si Yue reprimanded softly.
”I'm speaking the truth, sister is the best …” Lian Jue laughed in embarrassment and scratched his head.
However, Lian Yan Qing sighed and said, ”It's just a pity about Ninth Prince.”
Ninth Prince? Feng Yun Zheng? Lian Si Yue's heart trembled. What happened to him? She suppressed her surging emotions and asked: ”How is Ninth Prince?”
Lian Si Yue only knew that her mother, Consort, had been demoted for no reason and that because of that, he had been implicated and could not enter the palace for up to ten years. It was only until the late part of the emperor's life that the was pardoned from entering the palace, allowing him to return to the imperial palace. At that time, the battle to seize the direct line of descent had already reached its conclusion, and Feng Qian Yue had obtained victory in this battle.
