The sky outside was overcast. Heavy snow fell one after another, falling all over this prosperous and majestic palace.

The Qiankun Palace was silent, the palace people were waiting under the corridor, the charcoal pot in the house was crackling, and the warmth was like a spring day. The windows are covered with bright paper, and the snow outside is reflected in it, and it is bright.

"This time Nanshan suppressed bandits, Aiqing did a good job. ”

There is a square table on the couch, on which is a chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces are densely arranged. Sitting across the table from Emperor Kang Cheng was Fu Heng.

Fu Heng held a white chess piece between his fingertips, "This is the duty of the minister." ”

Emperor Kang Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, "Chu Chu has been gone for a few days, and the king of the county has also come to look for me, you are still young, how can you do if the backyard is empty." ”

Fu Heng dropped the white son, and at the same time raised his hand to take a few sunspots, and his tone was flat, "The minister neither enters the palace nor inherits the throne of the county, so naturally my business is not my business, and I don't want others to interfere." ”

Emperor Kang Cheng frowned slightly.

"I am estranged from you with the king of the county, I know it. But even if you leave him alone, won't you marry for the rest of your life? Chu Chu grew up in the palace, and I treated her like my own daughter. She's dead, and I'm sad. But the dead can't come back, and the still alive must look forward. Chu Chu must also hope that your children and grandchildren will be full. ”

Hearing the word Chu Chu, Fu Heng's eyes softened for a moment, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a bit of doting, "Her temper, if she sees me marrying someone else, I'm afraid she will immediately turn into a powerful ghost and come to me with a knife." ”

After a pause, he muttered again.

"If that's the case, that's fine. ”

Emperor Kang Cheng's expression was complicated, he was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "Anayue wants to marry you, and I think you understand it in your heart." ”

"The minister doesn't want to be a princess. ”

Emperor Kang Cheng was not only not annoyed when he heard Fu Heng's refusal, but his expression was relieved for a moment, and he nodded, "Since you don't want to, I won't be reluctant." ”

Fu Heng lowered his eyes, hiding the sarcastic look in his eyes.

He put down the white piece in his hand, "The minister lost." ”

Emperor Kang Cheng glanced at the chessboard and waved his hand, "It's not too early, you can go back." ”

Fu Heng nodded, got up and saluted, "The minister retreats." ”

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the long white marble steps had been covered by snow, and they were white. At the end of the steps, a man in an official uniform stood with an umbrella in his hand.

Fu Heng paused in front of him.

"Long time no see, Master Huo. ”

"The general has worked hard to suppress the bandits. Huo Chen smiled faintly, "The New Year is approaching, and I have worked hard for the general." ”

Fu Heng raised his eyes slightly, "Lord Huo is as hard as dealing with floods. You and I are extremely human ministers, both for the country and the people, and we can't talk about hard work. ”

Huo Chen glanced around, raised his foot slightly and took another step closer, and lowered his voice, "Let me guess, did Your Majesty tell you about marrying a wife?"

"Your Majesty said that Anayue wanted to marry me, but I refused. Fu Heng smiled sarcastically, "I don't know when this kind of low-means temptation will end." ”

Fu Heng holds the military power in his hands, even if he is willing to marry Anayue, I am afraid that Emperor Kang Cheng will not agree. The concubine of the princess of the Western Capital, how can he be the general of Dayue with heavy troops.

"Your Majesty is cold and suspicious by nature, is this the first time the general knows?" Huo Chen laughed lowly, "What did the general think about what he said to the general last time?"

Fu Heng glanced at him quietly.

"I'll give you an answer in three days. ”

Huo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and took two steps back, "Congratulations to the general." ”

The fog was low, and the gray sky was like a dark brocade, enveloping the entire Miyagi. No matter how much snow falls, it can't hide everything in this palace city.

When Fu Heng returned to the General's Mansion, Shen Chuchu was not in the Mansion.

"Where did she go?"

Three days later, at the New Year's Palace banquet, the county lord said that she was going to buy jewelry. ”

“......”

Shen Chuchu was bored in the general's mansion, and came out to hang out under the banner of buying jewelry. Now that Huo Chen has returned to the palace, Zhao Xiyue is well-behaved like a cat, let alone come to the palace to accompany her.

"County Lord, look, how is this bracelet?"

The attendant of the Treasure Pavilion smiled and brought a jewelry box, inside which was a bracelet that was ice-clear, and if you looked closely, you could faintly see a line of gold dust in the bracelet.

"This bracelet is sprinkled with gold dust, which is a new thing researched by several masters, and it is even more beautiful in the sun. ”

Shen Chuchu looked at it, it was indeed strange and good-looking, "How much is it, wrap it up." ”

"This is a gift from our boss to the county lord. ”

After a pause, the attendant lowered his voice, "Our boss is waiting for the county lord on the second floor. ”

Shen Chuchu frowned slightly, "Who is your boss?"

"You'll find out when you go up. ”

Cast a mist before somebody's eyes.

Shen Chuchu said to Cui'er on the side, "You wait for me here, I'll go up by myself." ”

Cui'er nodded, "Yes." ”

The second floor does not sell jewelry, and customers never come up. As soon as you step inside, there are layers of bead curtains hanging down to the ground, and the seven-colored beads are flickered by the light that penetrates through the window.

Lifting the curtain, I saw a man in a blue robe kneeling at the table and pouring tea. When he heard the voice, he raised his eyes slightly and smiled, "The county lord is here." ”

"Is that you?"

Shen Chuchu walked over and sat down, frowning, "You are the boss of the Treasure Pavilion?"

Sitting in front of her was Ji Yu.

"Shibei should be impressed for three days. Ji Yu smiled lightly, "The last time we met, you were still a guest in the General's Mansion, and now you have become the hot county lord of Rongyu." ”

Shen Chuchu lowered his eyes slightly.

"What the hell is going on with Childe?"

"Three days after the palace banquet, someone will attack the county lord. Ji Yu said lightly, "I'm just here to remind the county lord, please cherish and protect yourself." ”

Shen Chuchu's fingertips trembled.

"What do you mean by Childe?

"The gold thread in the bracelet I gave to the county lord is of a special material, and if it is close to all poisons, it will change color. Ji Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip slightly, "The county lord can rely on this to be vigilant and be careful to protect himself." ”

"Why help me?"

"As I said, the county lord is like an old man of mine. ”

Ji Yu raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Shen Chuchu quietly with dark eyes, "I hope she is well, and in the same way, I also hope that the county lord is well." ”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Shen Chuchu lowered his head, looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup, and felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably.

She used to feel that Ji Yu was just a stunning son, mediocre. Fu Heng is just a husband who respects her like a guest, and the emperor is just a monarch who loves her.

can be reborn, after losing the identity of Shen Chuchu, everything around him seems to have changed.

Fu Heng became unpredictable, making her unable to see through and guess. Now Ji Yu is like this, with countless secrets hidden in his body. More perhaps, they were like this, but they hid when they faced Shen Chuchu.

Things are not people, maybe that's what it means.
