The annex of Yanwang's Mansion is behind Huijue Mountain, and Mei Ru lives in the courtyard near Houshan Bamboo Sea. The mountain breeze is breezy and refreshing, and it makes people's hearts really cool. She wore a thin summer shirt and sat in front of the window to write, the wind rustled the pages, but it made people feel peaceful.

Yichan came in from outside and said, "Girl, Steward Liu is here, please say hello to you." ”

"Let him in." Mei Ru put down her pen and said.

Liu Rui is the steward of the palace, and he has to come back every two days. He went into the house to greet Mei Ru, and then handed over a framed letter, saying, "Princess, the prince said that this is the word you want." ”

Yichan took it, Mei Ru took it in her hand, and looked at it a few times.

This is the word that Mei Ruyang Fu Zheng went to beg, the pen is clean, and it is still very good-looking, but inadvertently the pen is slightly sharp, murderous, the words are like knives, and the paranoid person has to restrain and write with restraint, revealing a little awkwardness. Mei Ru couldn't help but laugh in her eyes, she only felt that this word and this person were extremely interesting, and she handed it back to Yichan. Liu Rui next to him said: "The one in the mansion has been greedy for some silver in the name of Princess Fangchen in the past two days, what do you think, Princess?" ”

Mei Ru asked him, "Have you told Your Highness?" ”

"Got it." Liu Rui bowed his waist and replied with a smile, "The prince said to let it go again, let us have a better life, and when there are too many mistakes, it will be easier to deal with." ”

In this kind of conspiracy and calculation, Mei Ru can't compare to him. With Fu Zheng in front, she herself was relaxed. Mei Ru said: "Then do as the prince instructs." ”

Liu Rui retreated, the room was quiet, and Mei Ru spread the words on the desk again. The bamboo shadow outside the window is heavy, falling on the scroll, lining the word as tall as green bamboo. As the saying goes, seeing words is like seeing people, Mei Ru looked quietly, as if a figure slowly walked out of the words, slender and proud. Her mind moved slightly, and she hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare paper. Mei Ru immersed herself in painting, and when she raised her eyes again, it was already golden outside, and the mountain breeze was cooler. After a pause, Mei Ru turned her head and instructed Yichan: "Go and ask Your Highness if you want to come over for dinner." ”

After just a few strokes, Yichan came back, and replied a little anxiously: "Girl, the prince has already eaten in front." "It's been a few days, and the prince still doesn't pay attention to the girl, don't talk about the night, don't even say a word, how can Yichan not be in a hurry?

Mei Ru knew it in her heart. For the sake of taking a concubine, Fu Zheng is still angry with her. He didn't say anything that day, let alone lose his temper, Fu Zheng just stared at Mei Ru for a long time, and then left without saying a word. His eyes were red, his eyes were dark and deep, wrapped in heavy sorrow, and he looked straight through people's hearts. Every time Mei Ru recalls it these days, she feels uncomfortable. After the two arrived at the other courtyard, Fu Zheng never showed up, and what he said was passed on by the slaves, thinking that she was really stunned and ruthless.

Mei Ru sighed quietly and ordered someone to go down and set the meal.

As soon as the clinker was put on a few plates of fruit, Fu Zheng came. Mei Ru was sitting on the Luohan bed at that time, and when she heard the sound of greeting from outside, she was stunned for a moment, and she was a little surprised. Mei Ru hurriedly came down, and Fu Zheng also entered the inner room. Looking at each other, Mei Ru hurriedly bowed to say goodbye. Fu Zheng's face was pale, and he said, "Sit down", and he sat down first.

There were already a few delicate small dishes on the table, and Fu Zheng flicked his eyes coldly...... Mei Ru was afraid of the heat, and all the fruits that were served first at this time were chilled, and she was still bubbling cold. Fu Zheng frowned quietly, and admonished in a deep voice: "Don't be too greedy." ”

His voice was very deep, revealing an undeniable majesty, and Mei Ru explained in a sneering voice: "I thought His Highness was not coming, so I ......"

Fu Zheng's face was still pale, and he said, "Your brother's matter has an eyebrow, so come and talk to you." There is a vacancy in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, I have arranged it all, and I will write to Mr. Meng to tell him later, and I will directly ask your brother to stay in the capital to report on his work. ”

When Mei Ru heard this, she was busy and wanted to get up again to thank her, Fu Zheng raised his hand to stop her, and said, "You and I don't have to be polite." As he spoke, his hand accidentally touched the back of Mei Ru's hand. It was early summer, and his fingertips were still warm, which made Mei Ru's hands even colder. Fu Zheng withdrew his hand, twisted his eyebrows, and became more and more dissatisfied with the fruits on the case, but he still told in a deep voice: "Your hands are too cold, you must pay more attention to yourself." ”

Mei Ru lowered her head, took a sour plum, and slowly put it in her mouth.

The plum was sour and sweet, Mei Ru was silent for a long time, bowed her head and said to Fu Zheng: "Your Highness, I heard that you have worshiped your mother in Lianxiang Temple, and I want to find an opportunity to pay respects." As she spoke, she took another plum and ate it silently.

Fu Zheng was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he wanted to stop Mei Ru by saying something, but he was completely stunned when he heard this.

He has been sulking alone for so long, angry that this little thing has no conscience, angry that this little thing has to give him a concubine, angry that she really has no conscience, but these sulkness suddenly disappeared in front of Mei Ru's words, and it was self-defeating.

Fu Zheng stayed there. When he came over tonight, he wanted to find a staircase to go down by himself, but he never expected Mei Ru to say such a thing...... His heart skipped a beat, and Fu Zheng looked at Mei Ru in a daze.

The person in front of him never stopped with a small mouth, red and stained with cold moisture. Because of the tiredness of grooming in the other courtyard, her black hair was curled in a bun at will, and she was charming between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was indescribably seductive. Fu Zheng's heart skipped a hard beat again, and he silently looked away. There was a smile in the dark eyes, and it was quickly taken away, Fu Zheng's face was still faint, and he said: "Aru, if you don't want to go, don't force it, I have already made incense for you on my mother's side." ”

Mei Ru was silent, bowed her head and said, "I'd better go." ”

Fu Zheng was good to her in this life, and tonight she specially softened her body and came over to talk about her brother in person, Mei Ru didn't see it. The palace courtyard is behind Huijue Mountain, very close to Lianxiang Temple, Mei Ru has been thinking about this matter in her heart for the past few days, but she doesn't know how to speak, and now she finally found an opportunity. In her previous life, she didn't know about it at all, but in this life, she knew, and now Fu Zheng is good to the Guogong Mansion and does her best, she should also be kind to his relatives, even if his relatives have passed away.

Hearing her words, Fu Zheng pursed his lips, and some heat welled up in his eyes.

That's it, this little thing still has some conscience for him, the days are so long, she will always have him in her heart, what else is he asking for?

Thinking like this, Fu Zheng's heart still softened.

Mei Ru asked him again, "Does Your Highness have a meal together?" ”

Fu Zheng said gently: "I have used it before, you eat first, and we will go over at night later." In that way, there are fewer people, and it will save the temple trouble. ”

Mei Ru nodded, and silently sandwiched another sour plum. The sour plum was cold, Fu Zheng saw it in his eyes, frowned and said, "Don't be greedy." After he finished speaking, he made a look, and the maid outside hurriedly brought the steaming dishes to the table, and then brought all the chilled fruits down. Mei Ru was stunned for a moment, looked at Fu Zheng angrily, and protested.

This little appearance is the most cute, Fu Zheng laughed in his heart, still quietly opened his eyes on his face, and got up to look at the paintings on the case.

The painting is not finished, the painting is full of bamboo shadows, and there is the imprint of Meiru in it. This person has always been casual in his pen, thinking of what to paint, but he is as self-contained as writing, revealing some Wei and Jin Dynasty romance. The layers of bamboo shadows pressed down, it was the momentum of thousands of mountains and ravines, but there was a silhouette of a figure outlined in the depths, very shallow and shallow, with only two strokes, if you don't look carefully, you won't be noticed at all.

Fu Zheng frowned, and then turned his head to look at the painting next to him, and the smile in his eyes slowly gathered.

She really likes this character, she likes it so much that she actually made a picture to respond, she can't think of the appearance of the person who writes, so she simply sketches a figure.

It became more and more obvious that he had been self-inflicted.

Fu Zheng smiled astringently, turned his face away and looked out.

……

Two small sedan chairs stopped at the foot of the mountain in front of Huijue Mountain, the night in the mountain was a little cold, and Mei Ru gathered her cloak before coming down.

Up are the continuous stone steps, Fu Zheng walked silently in front, Mei Ru followed, and finally two close-fitting maids and long followers. Shi Dong had the heart to protect the safety of his master, so he naturally had to follow closely, but Yichan blinked at him desperately, blinking his eyes uncomfortably, and Shi Dong seemed to understand. He walked next to Yichan, faintly, and pursed his lips.

Mei Ru walked a few steps up in front, and when she looked up again, she found that Fu Zheng had actually stopped. She walked up to him, suspicious in her heart, Fu Zheng sighed secretly, and said lightly: "It just rained yesterday, and the stone steps are a little slippery, let the maid help you." ”

He takes care of her, always like this, **, without asking what Meiru means.

Before she was about to leave the courtyard, Fu Zheng brushed the thin summer shirt on her body with a calm face, and only tilted her head and instructed Yichan: "Go and get the cloak." ”

No matter how big or small, this person can think of it.

Mei Ru's face was hot, she let out an embarrassed "oh", turned her head and looked back-

Seeing this, Mei Ru was suddenly embarrassed. Yichan and Shi Dong are inevitably too far away, she and Fu Zheng are halfway up the mountain, and the two are still rubbing at the foot of the mountain.

It must be Yichan's ghost!

Grinding her teeth, Mei Ru turned her face and said, "Your Highness will take the first step, and I will wait for Yichan." ”

Fu Zheng still looked at her, his face changed a few times, and finally said to Mei Ru concisely: "Let's go." He continued to go up, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to stare at Meiru. When Mei Ru walked to his side, Fu Zheng continued to go up without saying a word.

Mei Ru noticed that there was something awkward about this person. This awkward and weird, she can't fathom it, and she doesn't know where it came from.

The two walked all the way and stopped at the mountain gate. Fu Zhengxu often came over, he knocked on the temple door, and did not ask Sha Mi to guide the way, let alone Jingming to accompany him, but led Mei Ru straight to the back.

Behind the Lotus Heung Temple is a pool of lotus flowers. In the early summer night, the moonlight is cool, and the pond is covered with large lotus leaves, and shy buds quietly support from them, waiting to be released, and the dark fragrance is bursting. The temple without pilgrims has faded away from the hustle and bustle of the world, adding a lot of purity, and Mei Ru walks in it, only feeling much more comfortable in her heart.

Fu Zheng led her into an extremely remote hall.

The temple was so small that it didn't attract any attention. Mei Ru came once when she was five or six years old. That day, she was angry with Qiao's and wanted to find a place to hide, so she somehow slipped here. It was so dark that no light could shine in, so she had the courage to tiptoe and look inside. There was nothing in the dark, and she ran away in fright. I didn't expect that after so many years, this temple is still like this, secretly, and small.

There were no Bodhisattvas in the hall, only two everlasting lamps were lit on the desk. The faint yellow flame burned gently, occasionally swaying in the wind, as if pouring out something, and for a moment, the night was quiet.

Fu Zheng was still silent, he lit a stick of incense with his own hands, and then bowed.

Mei Ru also followed him, but she couldn't help but be curious, this lamp is Fu Zheng's mother, so who is the other lamp?

She didn't want to ask too much, so she saw Fu Zheng standing there, staring at the two lights, and there was a rare sadness in his dark eyes. After a while, he asked Mei Ru: "Shall we go to the Houshan Pavilion to sit there?" His voice was finally not so cold and hard, and there was a faint injury, Mei Ru felt a little unbearable, so she nodded.

Tonight is a crescent moon, the wind in the pavilion is a little strong, Mei Ru has just curled her hair in a bun at will, and the wind blows her black hair a little messy, and some hair strands are still blowing on Fu Zheng's face. Fu Zheng lowered his eyes.

His eyes were downward, and Mei Ru hurriedly stroked her hair, but it was still messy.

Fu Zheng raised his hand to pull the broken hair from her ear for her. His fingertips were still warm, with his warmth...... Mei Ru's body was obviously stiff, and she was about to suffocate her breath, but she was still afraid of his touch. Fu Zheng saw it in his eyes, was silent, and said, "Your hair is messy." He quickly withdrew his hand.

Mei Ru's face was slightly calm, and she exhaled quietly, she looked at the shy lotus flower in front of her.

In the midst of the tranquility, Fu Zheng suddenly called her: "Aru." Mei Ru leaned on her back. It was his cherished face, Fu Zheng stared deeply, and said to her: "Aru, I will never break my word. Since I promised not to touch you, I will not touch you. Do you remember what I promised before I married you? ”

Fu Zheng looked at her, his eyes were slightly sad. Mei Ru didn't speak, Fu Zheng said: "I promised at the beginning, as long as you are alone." Aru, I just want to live forever and be good to you alone, don't let me break my word, okay? ”

After a pause, he still asked, "Aru, okay?" ”

His eyes were dark, his words were soft, Mei Ru couldn't bear it, she lowered her head, her heart was apprehensive, and she said softly "um".

……

Because of her brother's stay in Beijing, Mei Ru wanted to find someone to return to the Gongfu to inform her, and the clinker Fu Zheng said, "Why don't you take your mother to talk in the other courtyard?" Hearing him think about himself like this, Mei Ru was stunned, looked up at Fu Zheng, and smiled.

Fu Zheng also smiled, he said: "I will not be in the capital in the future, if you are bored, I will pick up your mother or the fourth girl or the second girl from Mengfu to stay for a few days." ”

Mei Ru was still happy in her heart, she thanked Fu Zheng so much, and sent someone to pick up Qiao's family.

Qiao's was also very happy, she pulled Jingqin, who came to pick her up, and asked for a long time, just wondering how Meiru and King Yan were. But Jingqin was a stuffy gourd, so she didn't say anything, just said, "The girl is very good." Qiao sighed: "You are a loyal one. ”

When the mother and daughter met, Mei Ru was very happy, and pulled Qiao's to tell her brother about staying in Beijing, Qiao's recited "Amitabha", and said with a happy face: "Then you can choose a daughter-in-law for your brother." ”

Mei Ru asked, "Good mother, do you have any favorite people?" ”

Qiao Shi said: "Originally, it was good that you didn't marry King Yan, but now that you marry King Yan, there are many people who want to climb your brother." ”

"What does my brother say?" Mei Ru was curious.

"What else can your brother do? It would be nice if he could say yes. Speaking of this, Qiao Shi sighed and glanced at Mei Ru's stomach. Mei Ru covered her stomach and said coquettishly: "How does my mother know that my little day is coming?" ”

Qiao Shi poked her head: "You know that you are angry!" After a pause, she asked, "What a small day?" ”

"Am I still lying to you?" Mei Ru muttered, not knowing what to think, her face was slightly hot.

Yesterday when she came back from Lianxiang Temple, Mei Ru's stomach suddenly began to cramp at night, and her forehead was oozing sweat from the pain, so frightened that the maids hurried to Fu Zheng's courtyard to report. Fu Zheng put on a spring shirt and walked over quickly. When he came, Mei Ru was curled up there, bent into the shape of a shrimp, and her face was white and terrifying. Fu Zheng was also frightened, and he hurriedly helped Mei Ru up. As soon as she saw him coming, Mei Rudeng's face turned red, as if the shrimp had been cooked, and she couldn't even speak: "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

"Aren't you in bad health? Is it a doctor? Fu Zheng asked anxiously.

Mei Ru's face turned even redder, she was embarrassed and embarrassed, and buzzed a word...... Fu Zheng paused, also embarrassed, but still said with a straight face: "Don't you want to be greedy?" Do the math of how much cold you eat! "The voice was deep and scary.

Mei Ru only felt aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice: "I have eaten it all now......"

Her body was all cold, and her hands and feet were like ice, Fu Zheng frowned and stroked her lower abdomen. As soon as he touched it, Meiru's body tensed up again. Fu Zheng said angrily: "What else can I do now?!" Mei Ru was said by him, and her body softened slightly. His palms were hot, his underwear was thin, and after a while, the heat seeped in little by little. Mei Ru'er's roots were red, and she still said angrily: "I'll just come by myself." ”

Fu Zheng snorted coldly, his eyes brushed over the painting on the case that had been painted, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

This little thing with no conscience will actually think about others!

Fu Zheng didn't open his eyes, he couldn't look more, for fear that he would pinch this person if he was angry.

……

The two of them stayed in the courtyard until the seventh day of the sixth month before returning to the palace.

The house has been a little busy these days, the ninth day of the first month is Mei Ru's birthday, and the tenth day of the first month Fu Zheng is leaving Beijing for Liaodong, and there are a lot of things to prepare.

The princess's birthday is not a trivial matter, the house has been busy since May, and at this time, Mama Zou is smiling, praising her achievements these days, and opening and closing her mouth is how the queen teaches the slaves.

Mei Ru was annoyed by hearing this, and hurriedly sent this person down.

Fu Zheng was drinking tea next to him, and when he saw Mei Ru puffing up, he said: "Aru, if you want to send her, I have her fault in my hands." It's just that this one is dismissed, and I'm afraid there will be a more difficult one to deal with. After a slight pause, he said, "Actually, people like this are easier to deal with. She is on her face, and you can see it clearly, not to mention, her fault is in your hands, and you can cure it. ”

After a pause, Fu Zheng suddenly sighed: "Aru, I am reluctant to leave again, leaving you alone in Beijing, I am always uneasy." ”

He really can't let go, Mei Ru is too straight to go around the bend, and he doesn't know what will happen without him by his side. What's more, this little thing will be worried about others and be remembered by others.

With a sigh, Fu Zheng said, "Let's enter the palace tomorrow." ”

"What are you going to do?" Mei Ru was curious.

Fu Zheng said lightly: "Go and clean up the trouble for you, there are always people in the province who are worried." ”
