Knowing that Mother He deliberately concealed He Sheng's bad health, Qingtong naturally didn't do that big mouth. When they went out together in the morning, they just nagged unintentionally: "Care more about Sister-in-law He, after all, when you are pregnant with a child, your body is not stronger than before." ”

He Sheng responded, only when Qingtong cared about his family, and didn't think much about it. Sent the green pupil to the gate of Ouchi.,Gather with other slaves who are common on weekdays.,Gossip a few words.,And go together.。 Everyone has nothing important to do at home, but they are in groups of three or five, following the example of their masters, and wandering through the streets and alleys. When it was noon, I found a restaurant or tavern, sat down to eat and drink, and some friendship was born.

Qingtong went to his post and greeted everyone. When you meet the master of the college, you should salute well. The master of the academy is also very polite, he just came out of the limelight yesterday, and he has earned enough face for the newcomers of the Hanlin Academy, so naturally he can't be treated like before.

Zhou Rui is the weakest among all the people, and he has received the least rewards, but two or three incense bead embroidered pillows are not a taste when he comes to office. Seeing Qingtong, he went over and raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuxian Lou invites us to have a drink, what else is there to say at this time?" ”

"Not much." Qingtong said slowly: "It's just that it's my turn to stay overnight tonight, let's do it another day." ”

"Why not find someone to take you to?" Zhou Rui did not relent.

Qingtong hugged his fists and said: "Brother Zhou doesn't know the hard work of our poor people, my family is old and young, and I am all alone, and I can't compare to Brother Zhou who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth." If you talk about it, who doesn't like to be chic? I hope Brother Zhou will understand. ”

Zhou Rui thinks about it, she has to work with others on weekdays, and she is so tired that she earns so much silver, which is pitiful. I couldn't bear it, so I didn't pester her anymore, but said: "Then another day, the place is still up to you, and I won't embarrass you." ”

Qingtong thanked him for his understanding and gave another salute.

In the evening, everyone dispersed from the Hanlin Temple. Those who should go home go home, those who don't go home find a place to continue to have fun, and those who don't go to the willow tops on the moon are unwilling to go back.

And Qingtong has long been accustomed to the days of duty, although it is hard to work for one night, but the next day can always have a day of leisure, which is also good. The emperor did not summon them often, they were just on duty to continue to do their own things. or read books, or revis, or write poems in a poetic way. Qingtong doesn't have that lyrical mood, so naturally he doesn't like poetry.

Tonight, as at other times, I sat down in the duty room and talked to my seniors. Some seniors have big mouths, or are not so heavy-minded, and they will always say some things that they have experienced and come up with, which will be very useful in later lives. said that they were tired, so they sat with their lamps in their hands and were busy with their own things.

When the night came down, there was a slight chill everywhere. Qing Tong put a piece of the prepared clothes on her body, and was about to concentrate on reading again, when she suddenly heard someone summons. After exchanging glances with his seniors, he saw a eunuch appear outside the door.

The two of them reacted and hurriedly got up to salute. That eunuch was not Feng Zuo, but Feng Zuo's apprentice, who often ran errands. Coming over at this time, it is natural that the emperor wants to use people, so he summoned the two of them to go. Qingtong and his predecessors took the order, took off their coats, adjusted their official uniforms a little, and went to the imperial study with a group of eunuchs.

When I arrived at the Imperial Study, it was very different from the last time I came. The palace maids who serve in front of the emperor are all there, standing on one side, serving at any time. Xu Jing was still sitting behind the bookcase, looking intently at the fold in his hand. There were some more books next to it, and I couldn't turn them half-open.

Qingtong saluted with the seniors of the Hanlin Academy, and when she heard "no courtesy, give a seat" and sat down behind the seniors. The seniors on duty are different every time, and this time is naturally not the one who was punished for dozing off last time.

After taking a seat, Xu Jing casually took the book at hand and asked the palace maid to send it to the seniors of the Hanlin Academy. The senior took the book, and then listened to Xu Jing say: "What is the solution to the parts drawn with the pen, take a closer look, and listen to the Tao and me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The seniors of the Hanlin Academy responded.

As a newcomer this time, Qingtong followed behind his predecessors, in a state of learning, and most of what he had to do was to start with it. She shouldn't have rushed to participate in this matter, so she sat honestly on the side. Because he was bored, he looked up at Xu Jing from time to time. Looking at it like this, this person is serious, and he really intends to never know her again.

After looking at it a few times, he suddenly saw Xu Jing raise his head, and the two looked at each other. Qing Tong didn't dodge either, just looked at him, looking into it. Xu Jing didn't take his eyes off either, his face was calm, and he pretended not to understand at all in response.

Qingtong was not interested, so she had to secretly clear her throat and lower her head.

The senior next to him didn't know how the two interacted, looked at the book in his hand for a while, and suddenly whispered, "Grind some ink." ”

"Yes." Qing Tong answered, reaching out to polish the ink. After grinding for a while, I heard my predecessor say, "Pick the smallest pen." ”

"Yes." Qingtong stopped the movement in his hand, reached out and picked up a small pen on the pen stand, soaked it in water, squeezed it clean, dipped it in some ink, and sent it to the senior. The senior reached out and took it, holding a pen and writing notes on quiet rice paper.

It was Xu Jing, after watching the movements of the two people, his eyes turned black, and he looked down at the music and was silent.

After the seniors wrote it and gave it to the emperor, they told the emperor what they thought and understood. Xu Jing listened carefully on his face, but his face was as cold as ice, without any expression. After listening to this, he said, "I know, you go back." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The seniors hurriedly got up and saluted in front of the case, and Qingtong also followed and saluted together. When he bowed, he still peeked at Xu Jing, and saw that he still didn't react, so he had to take a breath secretly and follow his predecessors back.

Walking out of the imperial study, Qingtong exhaled softly, and some loss appeared uncontrollably in her heart. It seems that he is determined to return to the bridge, and even so, it can be regarded as giving her the state she wanted at the beginning, and comforted herself: "Very good." ”

She finally mustered up the courage and determination to bear a qiē with him, and now it seems that she is self-inflicted. Let's go back to sleep, why bother so much?

Thinking to himself, he took two more steps, and suddenly someone caught up behind him: "Lord Qing, please stay." ”

Qingtong and the seniors both stopped, and when they saw that it was Feng Zuo, they hurriedly saluted and asked, "What's the matter with my father-in-law?" ”

Feng Zuo said with a smile: "The emperor said that he listened to the debate of the ceremony of Lord Qing before, and he has a lot to discuss with you, so he wants to keep you for a while." ”

"Leave me alone or ......," Qingtong still wondered.

Feng Zuo said: "It's just you." ”

When the seniors of the Hanlin Academy heard this, they had no choice but to resign, leaving Qingtong and Feng Zuo to go back.

The journey back was very close, but Feng Zuo still muttered in a low voice: "The emperor is unhappy for a long time, why don't you do your best?" ”

Qingtong also whispered: "My father-in-law is joking, what do I do?" ”

Feng Zuo smiled and said nothing, although he didn't know what was going on between Xu Jing and Qing Tong. But with his understanding of Xu Jing, this green pupil is by no means an ordinary person. Therefore, this statement is not unfounded.

Before arriving at the imperial study, Feng Zuotong made a sound, and then very clearly understood Xu Jing's thoughts and called all the palace maids out and let Qingtong in. Qing Tong crossed the threshold, clutched the palm of his hand, and entered in an orderly manner. When he arrived at the desk, he saluted and respected.

Xu Jing sat behind the desk, leaned back in a chair, and saw her half-kneeling, but didn't speak. After a while, he suddenly said, "Calm down." ”

Qing Tong stood up, her chin silent. She didn't dare to sit without a seat, so she had to pestle.

Xu Jing took a secret breath behind the case, stood up and walked around to the case, stood in front of her, and said, "Just now I always looked at me secretly, don't you have something to say?" ”

"Hmm......" Qingtong said.

"Let's talk about it."

Originally, Xu Jing had planned not to have anything to do with this woman again, so why should he be humiliated with a hot face and a cold ass? He is the king of a country, where does he have face? Where is the majesty? How low can you dù?

I didn't expect that on this day, something summoned Master Hanlin to meet again. Just now she kept looking at herself, and the expression in her eyes drilled into her heart, and finally she couldn't help but call her back.

And Qingtong didn't know what Xu Jing was thinking, seeing him standing in front of him coldly, speaking directly, he didn't know what to say for a while. Some words, which reach the throat, can only be said in an atmosphere. She raised her head slowly, looked at Xu Jing's eyes, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty...... How is it going? ”

Xu Jing: ......

Qingtong felt a little embarrassed, hurriedly lowered his head, and whispered: "I'm sorry, it was my dog who bit Lu Dongbin before......"

"And now?" When Xu Jing saw her say such a thing, her heart softened by seven points, and her eyes and tone couldn't help but soften.

Qingtong pursed her lips, still lowered her head, and whispered, "I apologize to you, don't say anything like that again." ”

"What else?" Xu Jing continued to ask.

Qing Tong took a breath, finally raised her head, and said with firm eyes: "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I'm willing to be with you." ”

Xu Jing's drooping fingers suddenly trembled, and he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at the person in front of him. Originally, this was what he had been waiting for, but now it was clear that the clouds were open and the moon was bright, and he should be cheering, but he was at a loss.

I don't know whether I am ecstatic or panicked, or I want to cry because I am so happy and sad, all these things are mixed together, which makes Xu Jing's face more calm. He didn't speak, and he didn't make any other movements, so he wasn't a veteran of the love scene, and of course he couldn't react easily, so it was awkward. He turned around and returned to the case, sat down and said, "Sit down." ”

Qing Tong didn't understand what he meant, and saw that his expression was very cold, so he had to sit down obediently behind the small case. Xu Jing didn't speak, the atmosphere was so weird for a while, and Qingtong was uncomfortable - such a expression, is it refused?

She sat behind the desk for a while, listening to Xu Jing turning the pages of the book, and she didn't dare to look up at him.

The two of them, fools to fools, stunned to turn the sensational and wonderful things into strange words.

Qingtong doesn't quite understand the things in the love field, and the speculation is even more 108,000 miles away from the truth. But she thought that since she had said everything, she might as well try to the end. What does Xu Jing mean now, she can't go back with questions, and if she speculates for three or five months, she will become sick.

Thinking so, Qing Tong secretly raised his hand to unbutton a few of the top buttons of his official uniform, and deliberately pulled the neckline apart. Then she cleared her throat, raised her head, and called in her softest voice: "Your Majesty ......"

Xu Jing looked at her and held back a smile. He raised his hand to cover his mouth slightly, only then did he suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth, and then put down his hand and said, "What?" ”

Qing Tong suppressed embarrassment, and his face was already red first. Feeling that he couldn't go on anymore, he hurriedly raised his hand to buckle the button, cleared his throat, and said directly: "Are you willing or not?" If you don't want to, I'll leave. ”

"If you want to, you won't leave?" Xu Jing asked.

Qing Tong realized that this was a pit, and hurriedly said, "If you want to go, you can go." ”

Xu Jing lowered his head and flipped through the book: "What is the difference between being willing and unwilling?" ”

"If you want, I'll pay you back what I owe you." Qingtong said.

Xu Jing looked at her when she heard this, and couldn't remember what she owed herself, so she asked, "What is it?" ”

Qingtong was willing to say anything, but forced him: "Willing or unwilling?" ”

Xu Jing finally put down the book and said, "Yes." ”

Qing Tong smiled, and no longer cared about the rules of the monarch and ministers, in short, there was no one in this room. She got up, went to Xu Jing's side, leaned on the edge of the table, faced Xu Jing who was sitting in the chair, and said, "You close your eyes." ”

Xu Jinghu glanced at her suspiciously, so he had to close his eyes. When I was wondering what she owed herself, her soft lips were already pressed up, accompanied by a hot breath. After a moment, the lips left again.

The dragonfly was like a little water, but it reminded Xu Jing - that day in the suburbs, he mentioned that if he told the truth, he would let her take the initiative to kiss him.

When he opened his eyes, his cheeks were crimson. Seeing that she was leaving, Xu Jing stretched out his hand and pulled her and dragged her directly into his arms.

Qingtong fell into his arms, his face turned even redder, and he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, do you really want to be together forever?" Xu Jing hugged her waist and looked at her fixedly.

Qingtong nodded: "Yes!" ”

Xu Jing raised his hand to the side of her ear, rubbed it twice, and pressed his lips. Qing Tong didn't struggle this time, closed his eyes cooperatively, opened his lips slightly, and raised his hand to hook his neck.

After kissing softly for a while, Xu Jing let go of her lips, looked at her and said, "Don't leave tonight, huh?" ”

Qingtong blinked, regained his senses, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

"What's not to do?" Xu Jing hugged her and went to the couch inside.

After so many twists and turns, it is difficult for the two hearts to make promises to each other. On a night like this, how could she be let go? In the future, how can you not cherish every minute of time together?

Qingtong was carried to the couch by Xu Jing, and when he was about to kiss him, he still covered his mouth and shook his head resolutely: "If you say no, you can't do it, the time is not right." ”

"What's the wrong time?" Xu Jing was covered by her mouth and muffled.

"Dangerous period, in case you get pregnant with ......" Qingtong whispered: "Let's talk about it again...... In case someone hears it......"

Xu Jing looked at her, raised his hand to remove her hand, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything." ”

"Really?"

"You don't joke."
