Soon after the funeral of Emperor Chu, the courtiers repeatedly asked the prince to ascend the throne as the emperor on the grounds that "the country cannot be without a king for a day".

As a result, Chu Changkong, the king of Jin, changed from a hot prince to a new emperor after an enthronement ceremony was held on an auspicious day of the zodiac.

A month later, the new emperor, who was finally able to take a little time out of his busy schedule, quietly left the palace and met a person in a very ordinary house in the city.

Although the man was not wearing a fancy dress, it did not detract from his natural laid-back nature.

"Right ......"

"Your Majesty, the only wish of the grass people now is to travel to the world's famous mountains and rivers." The noble son, who was obviously dressed ordinarily but could not hide his luxurious bearing, smiled and interrupted him without a trace, "The former Xia Xingshen has followed the first emperor. ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to fulfill it." Xia Xingshen said, smiled, and bent down to bow to the end.

Usually looking at the beautiful and charming eyes, the only expression at this time is pleading.

After repeated searches, it was finally determined that Xia Xingshen quietly returned to the capital that day by taking advantage of the epidemic to cheat death.

Chu Changkong originally valued his ability to govern the country, so he came to the door to prepare to be a good king with a corporal of courtesy.

The thirsty new emperor originally lowered his posture with enthusiasm to invite people, but now seeing Xia Xingshen's resolute and firm attitude, it suddenly seemed like someone had poured cold water on his head.

Chu Changkong's smile gradually cooled, and his eyes stared at the Qingjun man, "You really don't want to return to the phase?" ”

Xia Xingshen shook it to the end and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, Xia Xingshen is dead. ”

Since he had made a decision that day, he would never go back.

Chu Changkong looked at him meaningfully for a while, and finally let out a helpless sigh, "That's it, since you don't want to do this, it's useless for me to be reluctant." ”

Xia Xingshen shook again, "Your Majesty is complete." ”

Chu Changkong flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave, but when he was about to go out, he looked back and said with deep regret, "If you want to return to officialdom one day, I welcome you at any time." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Xingshen bent down again and thanked him to the end, "But the grass people feel that the words of being unofficial and being light are really good." ”

Chu Changkong had a gentle temper, and seeing that he really had no intention of doing this, he finally had to return to the palace with regret.

Seeing off the newly appointed emperor, Xia Xingshen returned to the living room and sat down lazily, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that you have to find a house and move quickly." ”

The barely existent figure suddenly flashed in from outside the corridor, shook his head and wondered, "Since Childe doesn't want to set foot in officialdom again, why should he go back to the capital?" ”

Xia Xingshen didn't answer him immediately, but tilted his head and looked in a certain direction outside the house with a smile. After a while, he sighed faintly, "Junbai, you don't understand." ”

Although the world is big, only the capital has one her.

Even if she had already decided in her heart, it was a blessing in life for him to be able to breathe under the same sky as her.

Three months later, it is considered to be a hot filial piety period. On this day, behind a long-abandoned palace in the palace, two people sat casually and casually next to an old peach tree.

One of them is the current Southern Chu Heavenly Son Chu Changkong, who is sitting side by side with him, but it is His Royal Highness the King of Li, who can't hide his own scorching elegance no matter where he is.

No one knew that His Royal Highness Liwang, who was famous for "ghosts and sorrows", was actually an iron buddy with the former King of Jin. No one even knew that during the period when the first emperor had imprisoned Chu Lige in the mansion, many things were done by King Jin in secret.

Chu Lige was not willing to expose their former friendship, but now that King Jin has succeeded to the throne smoothly for a few months, and there is a period of hot filial piety, he has found an opportunity to meet in private.

"Third brother, do you remember the games we used to play here when we were kids?"

Chu Lige's eyes, which are always cold on weekdays, actually showed a warm color of faint nostalgia at this moment. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty has not forgotten, and the minister naturally remembers." ”

These words sound ordinary, but they seem to imply something else.

Chu Changkong glanced at him, "Is the third brother really leaving?" What's so bad about staying in the capital? It is reported that the climate and environment of Yaocheng are not good, either extremely cold or extremely hot, why does the third brother insist on going there? ”

Chu Lige was silent for a moment before replying, "Mother's wish is also the wish of the minister, and I ask Your Majesty to fulfill it." ”

Chu Changkong sighed, "Since the third brother is willing to sit here with me today, why do you have to stick to the difference between monarchs and ministers?" "Is it true that when you become an emperor, you have to leave behind your old friendship? Be a real loner?

Chu Lige didn't answer him, but stood up; Seeing this, Chu Changkong hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and is the blessing of the people, but the king is a monarch and a minister is a minister." Chu Lige said, already taking a few steps back, "The minister knows that His Majesty cares about brotherhood, so he dared to ask His Majesty for something today." ”

"The third brother can just say something directly, why should I be polite to me."

Chu Lige glanced at him, there seemed to be a faint and gentle color rippling in his cold eyes, but he still spoke in a cold tone, "The minister asks Your Majesty to give the minister a secret decree." ”

Chu Changkong immediately smiled, "What's so difficult about this." ”

An hour later, Chu Lige left the palace with the holy decree of ink talent, and almost couldn't wait to rush to Mufu.

Halfway through, he suddenly asked the driver to divert home.

It was not until the next day that he returned to Mufu.

Mu Xiaofeng had nothing to do, so he sat in the flower hall and read by the window. Unexpectedly, a large shadow suddenly fell silently in front of him.

Her heart jumped suddenly, and then she realized that there was a familiar faint smell of green bamboo brushing the tip of her nose. She immediately frowned dissatisfied, looked back, and stared at the visitor with burning eyes, "Why are you here?" ”

Chu Lige sat down next to her, quietly sucking away the books in her hand, "Collect debts." ”

The girl blinked in amazement, staring at him like a thrush with a blank face, but her soft voice was unconsciously raised, "Debt collection? What debt to collect? ”

Chu Lige glanced at her, there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes, but he said seriously, "Paying back debts is a matter of course, right?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes suspiciously, and then nodded slightly. The eyes are naturally clear and translucent, but these eyes, which seem to reflect all the dirt in the human heart, are a little vigilant in his doubts at the moment.

Chu Lige glanced at her, as if he didn't see the defensiveness in her eyes, and said lightly, "So owing someone to repay someone is also right, right?" ”

Although he said it very quickly and deliberately confused the key words, Mu Xiaofeng was not a stupid and innocent little girl, where would she really be fooled.

Under Chu Lige's seemingly plain but implied affectionate eyes, she didn't shake her head or nod, she still looked at him implicitly defensively, "Who owes whom?" ”

She rolled her eyes, and under his unwavering gaze, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed at herself, "You shouldn't say that the person you owe is me, right?" ”

She owes a lot of his personal debts. But she remembered very well that she had never done anything stupid to sell herself to him.

Want to bluff her with a few empty words?

Think about it!

Chu Lige glanced at her lightly, still looking unfazed. However, he immediately took out a piece of paper from his body in an unfathomable manner.

When the girl saw his expression, her heart was really shocked.

After Chu Lige took out the piece of paper, he didn't unfold it immediately, but looked at her meaninglessly, and then slowly opened the paper that was folded very neatly.

Then, looking at the girl with a vague expression, he handed half of the paper to her.

Mu Xiaofeng saw the two big words on his head, and immediately stared at him in shock, "Marriage book?" ”

His eyes looked down at the speed of ten lines down, and the look of shock on his face gradually turned into suspicion. Finally, she looked up, looked at him meaningfully, and asked with a smile, "Well, this marriage certificate is mine?" You mean to make me pay a bride? ”

Chu Lige glanced at her, and couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart.

Does this woman know that her expression looks like a fox with its tail hidden?

He raised his eyebrows and said in a light tone, "You deny it?" ”

The girl glanced at him obliquely, her eyes were shining, and she looked indescribably innocent and harmless. Chu Lige saw her gentle and harmless appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle inexplicably in his heart.

She shook her head, "The marriage certificate is real." ”

Chu Lige's expression was faint, but her cold eyes were dyed with shallow warmth.

"It's none of your business, though."

She has been married once in her life, and she has retired two years ago...... Wait, she remembered, at that time, Qiu Fu didn't get back the marriage book and betrothed relatives.

Recalling this, Mu Xiaofeng finally looked at him with a sudden realization, is this person too - taking precautions? Two years ago, she quietly robbed her marriage certificate, and only two years later did she take it out lightly to make her owe it back?

"Otherwise, why would you hide it?"

Chu Lige glanced at her lightly, his cold eyes seemed to pass a shallow streamer, and when he looked at her calm appearance, he couldn't help but smile secretly.

This bold and careful woman, doesn't she know that he never does things that he is not sure of?

The long eyelashes drooped, but the other half of the marriage book was quietly revealed.

The two names of relatives are Mu Xiaofeng and Chu Lige.

The girl raised her eyebrows in surprise, then glanced at him with a smile, and smiled very gently, "However, His Royal Highness has specially let me have a long experience today." ”

Even if he made this marriage book as if it were real, it would be fake and true, and naturally it should not be true.

Those who are familiar with Mu Xiaofeng should probably know that she is starting to get annoyed when they hear her tone.

really doesn't change the true character of the overlord, a tampered broken paper wants to set her up, and I look down on the girl too much.

"I know that according to past experience, you won't admit it easily," Chu Lige looked at her, calmly and calmly folded the marriage book and put it away again, "However, if someone admits it." ”

Based on past experience?

Dare to love this guy today to make up his mind and call the thief to catch the thief!

When did she stop admitting it?

"If Your Highness is too idle, I have a proposal."

The girl's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she looks pure, harmless, and good-tempered. Coupled with the clear and flowing eyes, flickering and blinking, she became more and more soft and innocent.

Chu Lige's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "Let's hear it." ”

The girl glanced at him idly, "Oh, my little white is lacking a companion, since Your Highness has a heart, it is better to find a companion for it." ”

A piece of torn paper wants to lure her into a trap? Dream!

Chu Lige lowered his head and stared at her pale pink nails, deliberately ignoring her vicious eyes, thinking in a trance, it seemed that he hadn't touched these little hands for a long time.......

"I remember Xiaobai as ...... Well, let Zhang Hua take it back another day. "Around her, in the future, except for him, all males will not be close to the three-foot range.

The girl frowned, and for a moment she couldn't figure out how to turn the topic to Xiaobai's to stay.

"I care about whether it goes or stays."

Therefore, there is no need to meddle with His Royal Highness anymore.

"I don't care about it," Chu Lige stared straight into her eyes and said seriously, "I only care about you." ”

Maybe he was too serious like this, Mu Xiaofeng subconsciously sat up straight and met his gaze vigilantly, not knowing that when she was concentrating, her hands had been wrapped in someone's wide palms.

"What do you mean?" The girl also smiled and looked at him cautiously, "Let's just say it, what's the purpose of today?" ”

I always feel that today's Chu Overlord is weird, although from head to toe it still looks like an iceberg and jade tree that is cold and rejects people for thousands of miles. But she always felt that his calm and deep eyes were obviously ill-intentioned towards her.

Thinking of the marriage book he had just unfolded in a serious way, the girl's heart suddenly moved, is it ......?

"You owe," Chu Li Ge stared at her, his deep eyes and thousands of words seemed to be silently sent into the depths of her eyes through such a gaze, "A bride." ”

"I'm here to collect debts today."

Although his voice sounded as cold and indifferent as usual, his gaze was too calm and serious, so that Mu Xiaofeng had to take it seriously.

However, he still asked with suspicion, "Are you serious?" ”

Really, you plan to propose to her in disguise like this?

But isn't this the time of national mourning? At least he can't marry for a year, and he was afraid of the secret poison in his body before.

Most importantly, she wasn't ready to ...... in her heart.

Chu Lige stared at her eyes, although her expression was cold, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide the gentle pity, "I've always been serious about you." ”

The girl seemed to hear a bang in her heart, and the taste of joy and sweetness raged happily in her whole body, but in this thick joy and sweetness, it was still difficult to suppress a faint anxiety.

She also stared at him with her eyes wide open, but her heart was beating nervously with excitement. She took a deep breath and tried to appear calm. After a while, she asked slowly, "Are you sure you really want me to pay you a bride?" ”

Chu Lige nodded, and she immediately said, "Don't worry about promises, listen to me and talk about it." ”

"The only bride in this life?"

This woman thought she was hesitant and afraid of something!

Didn't he promise her a long time ago in his life?

He thought that if he hadn't met her in the spring water of the mountain behind the Big Buddha Temple three years ago, he would probably never have been tempted by other women in his life.

He shook her hands hard until she screamed in pain, and he let her go.

"Mu Xiaofeng, do you have no confidence in yourself or do you have no confidence in me? Do you think I will be attracted to other women in this life besides you? ”

The girl was stunned, although they had long been in love with each other. However, it was the first time that such an issue had been discussed so directly among them.

Glancing at him silently, her eyes suddenly drifted out of the window, and she said lightly, "Confidence is not something you want to have, it exists." People's hearts are fickle, who can guarantee who will always be consistent? ”

She is probably the typical mentality of being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of grass ropes for ten years.

Even in the face of him, she didn't dare to fully surrender her sincerity, she was afraid of the tragedy of her previous life...... Will reproduce.

Chu Lige's brows frowned slightly, this woman was so guarded, had she been hurt before?

Qiu Tianshu, that bastard?

But after thinking about it, she felt that with her heart, how could someone like Qiu Tianshu hurt her.

Who is it?

He seemed to have overlooked something before, thinking that her evasion and hesitation were just a lack of trust in him, but now it seems that this is not the case?

Someday, he'd find out the bastard who had hurt her and hurt him, and if he had the chance, he wouldn't mind just crushing that bastard into dust.

But the most important thing now is to make this woman in front of her, who is extremely timid in some aspects and timid in some things, believe him.

Chu Lige turned his mind and quickly thought of a way, while Mu Xiaofeng looked at him calmly but with burning eyes, waiting for him to prove to her how he could prove to her the uniqueness of some aspect of the human heart.

For a moment, both of them fell silent with their own thoughts.

Only then did Mu Xiaofeng notice that her hands were wrapped in his broad palms, her brows frowned, and she tried to pull her hands out with force.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, Chu Lige immediately increased her strength.

"You don't believe in your father's feelings for your mother?" He spoke slowly, but it wasn't a good example. Mu Xiaofeng's heart was shocked, Chu Lige didn't miss her eyes shaking, he didn't know that mentioning Zhao Ziyue, who had passed away, would make her feel sad.

However, the fact that those two people are her most familiar relatives, and who are closely related to her, live under the same roof is such an example that is close and convincing. Therefore, he froze at her and said lightly, "Since they can be the only ones in each other's hearts, why can't you trust us too?" ”

The girl's pretty face was hot, but she didn't lower it shyly, but she still snorted slightly annoyed, "Don't make random comparisons, I didn't promise you anything." ”

Chu Lige stared at her reddened cheeks, still in a cold and constant tone, but in an unquestionable tone, "Do you need me to repeat it once and say that you would compensate me for a bride just now?" ”

Isn't this already promised to him, what?

Mu Xiaofeng was choked by him, and glanced at him in annoyance, "My parents are my parents' ......." ”

Moreover, even if her father's feelings for her mother have not changed from beginning to end, they can't match many calculations, and in the end, there is still an extra Aunt Zhang in the middle.......

Thinking of all kinds of past events, the girl's bright eyes also faintly revealed a gloom.

Seeing this, Chu Lige's heart suddenly seemed to be holding back a fire.

If he could live, he would not hesitate to show her his heart immediately.
