Behind the screen is a small study. The simple and simple bookshelf www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion occupies an entire wall of this small study, and most of the books on the bookshelf are medical books. Next to the bookshelf, there is a small desk, and on the top of the desk are the four treasures of the study. In the center of the study is a small table with a chessboard and chess pieces on it.

Leaning against the screen, there is a wood-colored carved flower stand, and on top of the flower stand, a pot of broad-leaved green plants is placed. Next to the flower stand, where I was standing, was the tea table.

I poured a cup of tea, and the tea was fragrant, like some kind of flower tea. Served it on a tray, bypassed the screen, and handed the tea to Li Chaozong.

Zhou Sinian still bowed his head and knelt there, Li Chaozong took the tea, took a sip, and handed it to Zhou Sinian: "Si Nian, this is still the soothing tea you gave me when you were in Chenwangfu, you try it, see if the Tai Hospital is authentic?" ”

Zhou Sinian took it in embarrassment, originally, the emperor's cup of residual tea, why not eat it? But today, this residual tea has an indescribable taste. I walked away silently, bypassed the screen, sat at the desk, and looked at the rich peony picture on the screen in a daze.

On the desk was a piece of paper with words written on it, the paper was yellowed, and it looked like it was a child's enlightenment poem: "Henkel works hard, and the emperor is prosperous and handsome." I still hate that there are no strong men in the Quartet, and I return to my hometown and sing "Song of the Great Wind". The handwriting is familiar, it looks like it was written by Zhou Sinian, but the handwriting seems very immature, it should have been written when he was a child. Sure enough, it was written on the registration desk with a date from 26 years ago.

Twenty-six years ago, Zhou Sinian was only eleven years old. Sixteen-year-old Li Chaozong met eleven-year-old Zhou Sinian for the first time. Since then, "I want to know you and live a long life." There are no tombs in the mountains, the rivers are exhausted, the thunder and earthquakes in winter, the rain and snow in summer, the heaven and the earth are combined, and you dare to be with you! ”

It's a bookshelf full of medical books, these words. A small coffee table behind the screen...... This is clearly Zhou Sinian's bedroom. This dormitory is arranged according to Zhou Sinian's residence in the Chenwang Mansion.

I crept over to the screen and looked out. The teacup had been placed aside, along with the silver platter. I don't know if the cup of tea was drunk in the end, or if it was left in it untouched.

Zhou Sinian was still kneeling on the ground, and Li Chaozong was still sitting next to him. The purple jade robe diluted his cold and hard lines, and the elegance and leisure of the room itself made them not look like a pair of monarchs and ministers, inexplicably harmonious, like an eternal painting.

Li Chaozong seemed to feel the gaze from behind him, and did not look back, but said lightly: "Shenglan, come here." ”

I walked over as I said and wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Li Chaozong. He waved his hand and said, "Help Si Nian up, Yun Xiao's acupuncture points are about to be unlocked." Let's go! It's good to go to Gangnam, take a good look there. With you here, I can rest assured. ”

I looked at his suppressed and painful expression, and when I looked closely, his eyes were really tired, and there was really a trace of gray hair between his temples, and I couldn't help but feel sour, and I fell to my knees, crying and saying, "Your Majesty! Uncle! Take care! ”

Li Chaozong laughed: "Okay, you girl, let you help Si Nian up, and you knelt down yourself." Don't always follow him, if he doesn't do it right, you have to advise him more," he looked at me with a majestic look in his eyes, "Yunyao, when she is old, I will let her marry Shenghong, you don't have to worry." Don't forget your identity, you are the eldest princess of the Li royal family. With you by his side, I can rest assured. ”

I saluted solemnly and promised, "Yes." wiped his tears, stood up and walked to Zhou Sinian's side, wanting to help Zhou Sinian up. By the way, I glanced at the cup of tea next to it.

The remnants of the tea are still there.

I sighed in my heart, this ruthless man, this infatuated man. If it is a man and a woman, what kind of touching love must be? But if it is really a man and a woman, I am afraid that they have been together for a long time, and they are like most ordinary happy couples.

Probably happiness is ordinary, only this misfortune is the most touching, the most tearful and booing.

Yun Xiao on the bed let out a sigh. Li Chaozong said to Zhou Sinian: "Get up quickly, don't let your son see you like this." I don't like you the most for your greasy and crooked appearance, you don't owe anyone ......"

I added some strength to my hands, and Zhou Sinian stood up. Yun Xiao on the bed sat up, rubbed his eyes, looked at us standing at the head of his bed, and said in surprise: "Dad, mother...... How did you guys get here? Looking around again, "Where am I?" ”

Li Chaozong said behind us: "Yun Xiao, your father is going to Jiangnan to take office, he wants to take you with him, you pack up and go." ”

Yun Xiao was even more surprised when he saw Li Chaozong, got off the bed, and wanted to kneel down to Li Chaozong, and Li Chaozong stroked his forehead...... Hurriedly stopped: "Don't kneel ......" Yun Xiao heard Li Chaozong stop him, stood still, and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, can Yun Xiao still see Princess Shengyuan?" ”

Li Chaozong did not speak, but looked at Zhou Sinian. Zhou Sinian lowered his head, pretending not to see Li Chaozong's gaze, nor did he hear Yun Xiao's question. Just said goodbye to Li Chaozong in high-sounding language. Li Chaozong calmly accepted our farewell, and finally, said to Zhou Sinian: "Sinian, every summer, go back to Beijing to report on work." He patted Yun Xiao's head, "Take Yun Xiao with you." ”

Zhou Sinian looked up at him, lowered his eyes again, and replied, "Yes." ”

Li Chaozong's decree came as scheduled, and Zhou Sinian took office as the new governor of Jiangnan Province. And his position as prime minister, Li Chaozong did not say whether to go or stay.

I didn't say that I was exempt, that is, I still stayed. Zhou Sinian slashed the leader of the Zhu Shengjiao bandits, and this merit was enough to support him to win the title of governor of Jiangnan Province. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the meritorious person who would have been demoted instead?

Zhou Sinian stood sullenly at the stern of the high-speed big ship, looking at the capital farther and farther away. The speed of the big ship was very fast, and the capital gradually condensed into a small gray dot. Along both sides of the river, a withered yellow. Occasionally, dilapidated houses and ragged peasants can be seen.

I sighed and said, "After a year, I can't imagine that this place is so desolate." There are frequent wars in the north, and the cost of raising the army is huge, and the emperor seems to be struggling to support it. ”

Zhou Sinian didn't answer, he was holding a pale yellow opal ring in his hand, and on his left hand, he was wearing an almost identical honey-yellow opal ring. Only when the two rings are placed together can the slight difference be clearly seen.

"Don't blame Shenglan for losing her temper, it's none of her business, I saw it when you pricked Yun Xiao with a needle." This is what Li Chaozong said to Zhou Sinian yesterday, "On the day of Tianshou Day, you didn't wear this ring now, although it looks exactly the same, but that one is pale yellow, and this one is honey yellow."
