But when he set off, he was angry, and his heart was ruthless, and when he really saw Shen Ruyu, Li Cao couldn't get angry at all. Music-Text-

At that time, Shen Ruyu was helping Wang Zijun wash vegetables, she came to find Wang Zijun and lived in the Taoist temple, and she did have the meaning of combing her mood. When Li Cao came, she was standing outside the simple kitchen, putting the wooden basin on the stone table that was originally used to wash clothes, and when she heard the sound, she looked up, and at first glance saw such a richly dressed young man rushing over with a gloomy face, and she was stunned.

It wasn't until the other party stood in front of her that Shen Ruyu couldn't help but laugh in surprise.

"Ahh She tilted her head and said with a surprised smile, "Why are you here?" ”

In Li Cao's eyes, she stood there beautifully, and she turned such a remote and dilapidated place into a paradise beyond the world.

He was originally full of resentment, but suddenly her smile flashed, and there was nothing left.

I saw that Shen Ruyu simply wore a bun today, not even a piece of jewelry, and only pinned a few bright pink camellia flowers to the temples, but it was even more beautiful.

She was wearing a moon-white silk gauze narrow-sleeved gown, which was embroidered with elegant orchid, delicate and elegant. And she was wearing a jade white bandeau inside, embroidered with silver diamond flowers, full and beautiful by the curvature of her chest, revealing a white and delicate slender neck and delicate collarbone.

Shen Ruyu is undoubtedly beautiful, but in Li Cao's eyes, the people in the whole world combined are not as good as a single hair of her.

But when he thought of Shen Ruyu, he would rather come to such a dilapidated place to stay than face him—even if it was for the Shen family—how beautiful she was in his heart, how much he was congested at the moment.

"Why are you here again?"

Under the heart plug, his tone was a little stiff.

If he was a prince before, his tone was arrogant and willful, but after becoming the emperor, his tone naturally took on the air of an emperor, tough and domineering.

This is obviously too upright and rude for a man in the world of women.

As soon as Li Cao's words came out, he regretted it, in his own opinion, his words just now seemed like a stern reprimand - he was always like this, when facing Shen Ruyu, he was always self-defeating, and every move made her farther away from him.

He is quite talented in political affairs, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, following his parents, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run, and others find it difficult, but he is lightweight, even if he was still a little young when he first succeeded to the throne, but now he has already mellow and mature means, but in one of the affairs, he feels like a fool who can't get started - it's not right to do anything clumsily.

Cui Wenjun said that this kind of thing can't be taught, you can only rely on your own experience, the first time you like people can rarely have a good result, that is the process of bringing people to get started, most of the first love in addition to good memories, but also a valuable experience.

But Li Cao's first love was Shen Ruyu, he didn't want her to take him to get started, and then exchange the so-called love experience at the cost of losing her forever, he just wanted to be with her, be together forever, and be together.

But I don't know why, such a simple wish always can't go along with it.

Li Cao's personality has been spoiled arrogant and arrogant since he was a child, and he has always been held by others, and he follows him, how to be good to others, and he is completely energetic and doesn't know how to do it.

He finally got a little closer to Shen Ruyu, and forced the relationship between them to become a little special, and he was even more afraid that he would push her farther and farther.

Gaining and losing is more painful than never getting it.

No one believes that the dignity of a country will suffer so much.

"I'm here to relax."

Fortunately, Shen Ruyu didn't seem to mind his tone, and she answered his question gently, "What's wrong?" Why is Ah Lu so angry? ”

I don't know why, it is clear that Li Cao is eight years older than Shen Ruyu, but she often feels that she is tolerating him.

He looked at her face carefully, and she always seemed to be this gentle and amiable appearance, no matter who the other party was, no matter what happened to her.

She seems to have seen through those disturbances and insight into the world, but she hides her wisdom and radiates light, but she cautiously puts away her edge.

No one can say anything bad to her, but she is good, but she is like an outsider who looks at her coldly.

Because he is an outsider, he is calm and sober, so he doesn't care, so he is calm and quiet.

And this is what makes Li Cao powerless and uneasy - because no matter what he does or says, even if he is the emperor, if Shen Ruyu is not ready to like him, he will never be able to enter her heart.

Others say that even if it is a stone, it can be covered with heat if it is held in your arms for a long time, but what about Shen Ruyu? If she were a stone, it must be a confusing stone—it won't heat up in the fire, and it won't get cold in the snow. If she is unwilling to change, no one can affect her.

Sometimes when you think about it, it's actually a pretty desperate thing.

Because no matter how hard you try, you can't let her put you in her eyes - you can only wait until she herself is willing, willing to set her eyes on you.

Is...... It's angry and hateful, loving and annoying, but I can't let it go.

"Shen family, don't you want to take care of it?"

Thinking about it like this, Li Cao finally decided not to suppress himself anymore.

He abandoned those clumsy flattery, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and propped up the majestic aura that belonged to the emperor.

- Since he is good to her, he can't let her eyes stay, so why does he have to go all the way to the dark?

Whether she wants to or not, whether she has him in her heart or not, as long as she can't be with anyone else except herself, what does it matter? She belongs to him after all!

The young man in a snow-blue robe may be considered middle-aged in the eyes of the ancients, but in the eyes of Shen Ruyu, he is still so young.

His skin was fair, he had never experienced the weather, his eyes were deep and dark, resolute and bright, and his lips were soft and beautiful, making people want to kiss them.

He is handsome and flamboyant, coupled with his majestic demeanor, he suddenly has an awe-inspiring dignity, which makes people's hearts break.

Li Cao's words were obviously telling Shen Ruyu clearly, what Shen Nanfeng said to her, he already knew, and he was suing her, this deal, he could accept it, but Shen Ruyu had to show sincerity.

That is to say, he has given up trying to get Shen Ruyu's sincerity as a man, maybe it was Shen Ruyu's lack of progress that made him feel desperate, and he began to prepare to use the emperor's thunderous means.

Li Cao's appearance seemed a little strange to Shen Ruyu, who had been used to him not being able to say a word for a long time and was clumsy, but after being unfamiliar, the figure of the freshly dressed and angry horse in her memory suddenly became vivid.

——The bright young man in red who makes people look at it and can no longer see anything else, with a flamboyant expression and a wanton smile.

The figure jumped out of the depths of his memory unexpectedly, Shen Ruyu looked at him, and subconsciously called in a low voice, "Ah Lu......"

This soft, somewhat stunned call made Li Cao feel as if his chest was being tightly strangled by something, and he felt a dull pain.

He looked at the woman he loved, and she looked at him too, looking a little dazed.

This is a look that Li Cao has never seen before - she is always calm and confident, and she will never show such a flaw.

It's because ...... The Shen family?

Is it because her home is crumbling under the expansion of his power?

Or is it because of ...... His attitude towards her suddenly became bad?

He hoped that she could live proudly for the rest of her life, without being wronged or suffering, but now it seems that he was the one who gave her the greatest attack.

Thinking about it like this, Li Cao's anger just now suddenly softened a little, and he began to regret that he shouldn't have threatened her with the Shen family's affairs just now.

But Shen Ruyu quickly returned to normal, she looked at Li Cao, as if thinking about something, and after a while, she pondered: "...... Ah Cong, there is something that I was not going to say in my life, but after almost dying this time, I feel that I still want to sue you. ”

Li Cao was slightly stunned, but his tone was so strong just now, it was not good to change it immediately, so he replied a little hard: "What? ”

Shen Ruyu looked at him and said, "...... I used to say that I didn't like anyone other than you, and that's true. I fell in love with you when I first met you when I was seven years old. ”

This sentence was too informative, and the young monarch was stunned at that time.

- What?

Looking at his stunned appearance, Shen Ruyu couldn't help laughing, "You really don't have an impression, right?" Because at that time, you didn't even look at me. ”

She smiled and reached out to take his hand, and Li Cao's back stiffened like a frightened animal in an instant.

I only heard her droop her eyelids, smile slightly, and said gently: "At that time, I was often summoned into the palace by the queen, and once when I went to the imperial garden, when I stood at the door, I heard your voice coming out. At that time, you were begging for a good horse from the queen, and that was the first time I saw you. I remember you jumping into my eyes like a flame in a fiery red riding suit. ”

"When I saw your face, I thought, how can there be such a beautiful person in this world?"

Li Cao was stunned by this sudden sweetness, and he repeated in a somewhat dry voice, "...... Fine? ”

He still remembers that when he was fifteen years old, the cat cried and the dog was suspicious, because of arrogance and arrogance, no one in the whole capital was willing to marry him - now think about it, if he had married at that time, maybe now, there would not be such a male emperor.

It's just that at that time, he was a young man who was disliked by the nobles of the family after all, no matter how proud he was on the surface, he was not unhurt in private. But now, the girl whom he loved, whom he regarded as a god, told him that she liked him then, and thought he was ...... So good.

"yes." Shen Ruyu didn't seem to hear the slightest doubt in his words, and she affirmed it as a matter of course, "You look so happy, looking at you so high-spirited, even my heart is soaring." You're so eye-catching, it makes me think—how nice it would be if you could always be so proud and wanton. Just looking at you, I'm already happy. ”

Just when Li Cao wondered if he was dreaming, he heard Shen Ruyu say, "But at that time, you never noticed me. ”

Li Cao was a little apprehensive and wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know what to explain, so he had to listen to Shen Ruyu explain to him: "At that time, haven't you been enlightened yet?" ”

He nodded hurriedly.

Shen Ruyu raised her head and looked at Li Cao's appearance, and smiled.

She held his hand very gently, and his ears heard her gentle voice, "...... Now think about it, Ah Cong, you are twenty-five this year, right? ”

…… Hearing this, Li Cao's heart, which had just become hot, suddenly became cold again.

Shen Ruyu continued, "I'm eighteen this year...... Well, but eighteen is still very small. ”

Li Cao clenched her hand tightly and did not say a word.

Shen Ruyu was still saying, "You are eight years older than me. ”

This sounded completely like a prelude to a rupture, and Li Cao's heart suddenly swelled with an ominous premonition - Shen Ruyu said before that after seeing him for the first time, she liked him. But when he pursued her later, he did not see any sign that she was in love with him.

And when Shen Ruyu talked about this matter, she was sincere, but she was full of memories - she may have really liked him once.

But, that was ever.

What now? Ruyu is ready to break with him rather than break with him, and is not willing to bow to him?

Li Cao went to look at her appearance and found that her expression was still so gentle, and she couldn't see the appearance of half a point of determination, but it was precisely because Shen Ruyu was always a humble lady and never lost her posture that she seemed so unpredictable, her mind was so difficult to touch, and her decision would be ruthless and never turn around.

But Li Cao did everything he could, but he didn't expect that Shen Ruyu looked up at him and said that the words he said were not cruel goodbyes, but extraordinarily gentle - kisses.

Shen Ruyu raised his head and imprinted his lips.

The soft touch made the brain go blank for a moment, followed by intense dizziness.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly an unfamiliar voice exploded like thunder and shocked Li Cao's senses.

- "Sister, Sister Zijun asked me to ask you if the dish is ready—"

The voice quickly stopped abruptly and turned into an exclamation: "Wow!! ”

The overlapping lips parted, and Li Cao was still a little unable to come back to his senses and looked over with Shen Ruyu's gaze, only to see a young man with eyes like paint and hair like a crow feather standing there, looking at a loss.

That's Mingxi.

The body that Mingxi crossed was originally very thin, but after being supplemented by Shen Ruyu's delicious food and drink for a period of time, he finally showed a bit of dazzling spirit, coupled with the education he received since childhood, that kind of temperament and demeanor were naturally revealed, and he was a standout character when he went to that station.

He stood there a little stupidly at the moment, looking at Shen Ruyu blankly and shouting, "Sister...... I...... I do not know...... You...... You...... This ......"

Shen Ruyu was very calm, she looked at Li Cao and said, "What should I do, I was seen?" ”

Li Cao: "......"

"My reputation is ruined, how can I marry someone in the future?"

Li Cao: "......"

Seeing that he was always silent, Shen Ruyu tilted his head, looked at Li Cao and asked, "Are you responsible?" ”

Li Cao: "!? ”

He thought, is this Shen Ruyu's overture? Did she say she liked him for the sake of the Shen family?

But why, even so, would he rather never wake up from this sweet dream?

Obviously, he holds the life and death of the Shen family in his hands, but he can't threaten Shen Ruyu at all, and he can't control her, because as long as she looks at him, he will never be able to defeat the army.

“…… I'm in charge. ”
