Empress Dowager Tong has always been resolute in her work, Shen Rui and Yu Jinfan have just reconciled, and the word of accepting a concubine has spread all over the palace and entered Yu Chenghai's ears.

Gaode Mansion was full of black clouds, and the slaves knelt outside the hall together, bowing their heads in fear and accidentally provoking Yu Chenghai to attract the crime of killing. The sound of smashing was accompanied by shouts, and occasionally a few utensils were thrown out of the house and fell on the unfortunate slave, and they did not dare to say a word when blood was knocked out.

"No, never!" Yu Chenghai roared, overturning the table in front of him to the ground, and his newly made mandarin duck picture on the table fell to the ground, and the ink spilled on it, drowning the mandarin duck...

Yu Chenghai stared at the disappeared mandarin duck, his eyes were crazy, he clenched his fists and rushed straight to the backyard, took his beloved horse and galloped away.

Prime Minister's Mansion, in the study.

The clock on the table is holding a hard hand, and he is practicing words one stroke at a time. Zhong Honghai paced the hall with his hands behind his back, his fingertips flicking.

The footsteps outside the door were near, and the sound was urgent and panicked. Zhong Honghai's hands were clasped together, and his footsteps stopped. The tip of the pen on the paper was swayed for a moment, and then it continued.

"Master, Mr. Hai is here, shouting to see you and Miss."

"A quarter of an hour earlier than I counted." Zhong Honghai stroked his beard with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at his daughter: "Yan'er, Hai'er treats you sincerely, are you really willing?" ”

Zhong Ziyan leisurely dipped in ink, and the corners of his mouth raised lightly: "How can you be reluctant?" ”

"Okay, what a good one can't give up, my daughter has a chance!" Zhong Honghai laughed and walked out of the study, and followed the slave to the hall.

The door closed again, and only himself was left in the study, Zhong Ziyan lowered his head to look at the words he had just written, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.

However, the only thing that is repeated on the paper is the word "Nanmu".

Yu Chenghai, who was anxiously waiting in the hall, saw Zhong Honghai with an ugly face coming from a distance, there was no Zhong Ziyan behind him, he couldn't be disappointed, he hurriedly greeted him, angry and panicked: "Uncle, Ziyan can't enter the palace!" ”

Zhong Honghai glared at him with hatred, and coldly shook off his sleeve from his hand: "A gentleman's words are like destiny!" Cannot? What is your current status and qualifications to refute the king? ”

"Ziyan and I have already made a private agreement for life, I will go and tell Yu Jinfan now and let her take back her will!"

"Innocent! Do you think with Yu Jinfan's eyeliner, she won't know about your relationship with Ziyan? ”

Yu Chenghai was stunned: "What does uncle mean by this?" ”

"Ziyan and Yu Jinfan have almost no contact, and now she suddenly wants to take Ziyan as a concubine, don't you think this matter is strange?" Zhong Honghai said angrily, turned his back, and his eyes narrowed slyly: "Hai'er, it's not your uncle who forced you, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain." ”

Yu Chenghai is not a stupid person, where can he not understand the meaning of his words, and his heart is cold: "Uncle, you also agree to Ziyan entering the palace?" ”

"Hai'er, my uncle is just a courtier, and the king's order cannot be violated."

Inviolable? My father had never seen him so obedient in his lifetime! Yu Chenghai closed his eyes and asked, "What does purple smoke mean?" ”

Zhong Honghai turned his head and looked at him with blazing eyes: "Yan'er wants to be your queen." ”

"Nephew understood." Yu Chenghai nodded heavily and said resolutely: "I want this country, and I want purple smoke even more!" ”

Shen Rui has been good at martial arts since she was a child, and when it comes to the art of riding and archery, she is absolutely at her fingertips, as for reading... Flipping up and down, Shen Rui couldn't help but yawn big, and she really couldn't be interested.

Yu Jinfan glanced up at her from the fold, shook his head slightly, and reached out to take the fold in her hand-

"What are you doing?" Shen Rui pinched the corner of the fold.

"I'm a little hungry, you can get me some food."

When Shen Rui heard this, she immediately let go and went out to look for someone. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw two slender figures outside the palace gate standing at a distance, and when she looked closely, it was Minhyuk and Bimachi. "How weird is that?" Shen Rui was suspicious and walked over.

Minhyuk and Bimachi are both sensitive people, and when they hear the movement, they all look sideways.

"Master!" Bicho was surprised, but Minhyuk frowned slightly and looked away.

Looking back and forth between the two, Shen Rui raised her eyebrows: "Are you making an awkward fuss?" ”

"Nope." Answer in unison.

"Oh?" Shen Rui nodded with a smile and teased: "There is quite a tacit understanding." ”

Bi Ding is in the mood to joke at the moment, whenever she sees that she is still in the mood to laugh, thinking of what Min Hyuk said, she is more depressed and pulls her arm: "Master, I have something to say to you." ”

Min Hyuk swept the hand she held on Shen Rui's arm, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, but the person stepped aside to observe if there were others around.

Shen Rui looked at Bi Town's face, guessed what she was going to say, sighed invisibly, and said to Min Hyuk: "The king is hungry, you go and prepare some snacks she likes." ”

"Yes." Min Hyuk said expressionlessly and strode away.

Shen Rui always felt that something was wrong with her, and she couldn't say it, so she shook her head incomprehensibly, and led Bi Ding to the side hall.

"Master, let's go back to Beizhen." As soon as he entered the door, Bimachi couldn't wait.

Shen Rui glanced at her, shook her head, and smiled: "Bi Town, do you think this palace is the grassland near our Beizhen, come as you say, and leave as you say?" If I leave, how will my father and mother explain it? What about the people of Beizhen? And..."Shen Rui opened her mouth and swallowed back the three words Yu Jinfan.

"Master, you don't live for them!" Bicho said, his eyes were hot: "Everyone has his own life, you don't have to bear this, as long as you are willing, the slave will accompany you to the end of the world." ”

"Thank you." Shen Rui said, gratefully holding Bicho's hand.

"Master—"

"But Bicho," Shen Rui patted her hand, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in her smile: "I don't want to leave." ”

Bimachi froze, her lips trembling slightly: "Why?" She's going to marry another woman?! ”

Shen Rui lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Bi Town, she is the king, and I... Love her. ”

"Master, you've changed." Bimachi looked at the smiling woman in front of her distressedly, and swallowed back all the words of persuasion. After a while, she slowly lowered her head: "The slave understands, no matter what the master decides, the slave will accompany you." ”

Shen Rui looked up at the sky, held back the tears that wanted to come out of her eyes, and hugged her gently with a smile: "It's good to have you." ”

Min Hyuk was extremely efficient, and not long after Shen Rui left the side hall, food was delivered. "There's nothing to do here, Minhyuk, you can go back with Bicho." Shen Rui said, took the dinner plate in her hand and entered the study.

Hearing the movement at the door, the busy person at the table immediately stopped: "Why have you been there for so long?" ”

"It's been a long time, you've only taken a few sips of this tea." Shen Rui picked up a mung bean cake she loved and put it in her mouth, and smiled charmingly: "It must be because you think of me that you have extended that short period of time." ”

The person chewing the mung bean cake nodded without hesitation: "That's true." ”

didn't deny it awkwardly, Shen Rui unexpectedly raised her eyebrows, hugged her neck and sat on her lap: "So honest, it's too different from your style." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yu Jinfan's face, put down the half-eaten mung bean cake, pursed his lips, and said seriously: "Nanmu, I have never been good at expressing my words, and I always refute your mind boringly, but-" She licked her dry lower lip, her eyes were full of affection: "My heart for you has never been the slightest false." ”

In the face of such a frank confession, Shen Rui was a little uncomfortable, and the tears that she had endured not long ago had the meaning of returning: "This mung bean cake has a lot of sugar, and its mouth is so sweet." She laughed and got up to walk away.

Yu Jinfan stopped her waist, pressed the person back again, and hugged her closer and closer in his arms. "Nanmu, you didn't think about it a lot just now, you gave me too much, and I-"

The words were blocked by the lips that greeted her, and Shen Rui looked at her with tears in her eyes, and smiled contentedly: "Needless to say." "I understand your intentions, your forbearance and necessity.

The kiss replaces all the words and pulls the two hearts tighter. After a long time, Yu Jinfan reluctantly let go of her and solemnly promised: "One day, I only belong to you." ”

"I'm sure that day will come soon."

"Good! That lonely is going to work harder for that day. Yu Jinfan said with a serious face, and put a hand around her waist to take the fold that had been abandoned for a long time in front of her.

Shen Rui pursed her lips and smiled, and said seriously: "It seems that I also have to work hard." ”

"It's just a matter of reviewing and folding." Yu Jinfan smiled and stopped her hand to take the fold, then took the mung bean cake that had just been put back on the plate and stuffed it into her hand, and tapped the tip of her nose: "Just leave such annoying things to me, Madame works hard to feed the lonely." ”

Shen Rui said sweetly: "No problem, you review the folds, I'll feed you~" So, not long ago, the person who swore to assist in handling state affairs held food in one hand and fed the king of a country diligently with the other.

At this moment, no state affairs have anything to do with them, and they are just a pair of lovers behind closed doors.

In Jinyang Palace, when Mrs. Zhong was later, the Empress Dowager Tong was sitting in the hall, pinching flowers in one hand and holding scissors in the other, leisurely pruning and arranging flowers. Seeing her coming, Empress Dowager Tong put the last peony into the bottle without raising her head, and asked, "Everything is sorted out?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhong didn't care to answer, and hurriedly walked up to her and asked what was on her mind: "Why did the king want to take Ziyan as a concubine for no reason?" ”

Empress Dowager Tong glanced up at her and repeated: "Things are sorted out?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhong bit her lower lip, let out a sullen "um", and said anxiously: "Dream Pool——"

"Huh?" Empress Dowager Tong looked at her.

Empress Dowager Zhong bit her lip fiercely: "Empress Dowager Tong! ”

Only then did the Empress Dowager Tong retract her gaze and beckoned to Huanxiang who was waiting on the side: "Send the flowers to the Empress Dowager Zhong's house, and all the palace people are disturbed, the palace and the Empress Dowager Zhong have important matters to discuss." As she spoke, she smiled and touched Empress Dowager Zhong's face: "Yes, Sister Yuan." ”

Sister Yuan screamed that Empress Dowager Zhong's cheeks were strange, and she awkwardly avoided her hand and said nothing.

Huanxiang is also a sensible person, he doesn't say a word and acts according to orders, and when he leaves, he doesn't forget to close the palace door.
