A group of people stood silently on the corridor, Shen Ruyu's back was empty, and the maid eunuch behind Li Cong almost blocked the door.

No one spoke, so Shen Ruyu had to keep her head down and maintain a saluting posture.

She took out the mental outlook of the military posture when she stood in the military training station of the university, and just kept staring at the ground, staring and staring, as if she could see a flower from the ground.

The two were at a stalemate.

"It's comfortable to kneel, isn't it?" After a long time, Li Cong's somewhat gloomy voice came.

"Back to Your Majesty," Shen Ruyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. She didn't know what to answer at this time, so she had to say honestly: "...... Under the weather. ”

Li Cong didn't say anything to get her up, but his tone softened a little, "Are the flowers good-looking?" ”

"Hui Majesty," Shen Ruyu struggled to keep her tone upright and sincere. "The country is beautiful and fragrant."

Li Cong was silent for a moment.

The chamberlain beside him glanced at the emperor's rapidly reddening ears, and knew that he must have automatically missed the first reply......

There was silence in the corridor for a while, and then Li Cong looked at the small piece of white skin exposed on the back of Shen Ruyu's neck, and coughed as he tried to keep his composure, "Get up." ”

Shen Ruyu stood up in a proper manner, she lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, and never moved up a little, Li Cong asked some questions that were not painful, Shen Ruyu answered straight one by one, her words and deeds can be called a model for courtiers to meet the Son of Heaven, but the more she behaved, Li Cong didn't know why, and the more angry her heart became.

Shen Ruyu hung her head and heard him speak coldly and majestically.

"Stand down, all of you."

Then there was a slight sound, and Shen Ruyu knew that there were only two of them left in this corridor at this moment.

- It's time for the main event!

She tensed her nerves, and then heard Li Cong's tone a little jerky and awkward: "...... How long are you going to keep your head down? ”

It was a mixture of the majesty of the emperor, the pride of the nobles, and the nervousness of facing his sweetheart.

Shen Ruyu looked at the ground and blinked slowly, before he sighed slightly and raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him.

Without a large group of attendants, the handsome young man who was alone looked as if he was just the son of an ordinary rich and noble family, but Shen Ruyu knew that this was just an illusion.

His essence will never change – one word can determine the life and death of others, and one hand can control the fate of others.

However, Shen Ruyu's tone did become much softer than when she was in front of people before, "...... Leave the chamberlain alone with me, and tomorrow I don't know how many more impeachments will be handed to your desk. ”

This tone was a bit rude for the courtiers, but Li Cong seemed very useful, he pursed his lips and suppressed his almost unbearable smile, and took a tentative step towards her, "Don't be afraid. ”

But as soon as he said his words, he showed a look of chagrin - he seemed to feel that he had oppressed people with the power of the emperor, this sentence was simply stupid, and it might make Shen Ruyu unhappy.

The emperor was supposed to be the most proud and conceited person in the world, but when he suffers from gains and losses, he becomes the most glassy-hearted and inferior person in the world.

At the same time, the emperor is often the most vindictive and revengeful.

What's more tricky is that the emperor can't pursue it blatantly like ordinary people, because there is a certain risk of rejection of the pursuit - but the emperor's face is often the face of the country, and if you reject the emperor, do you want to hit the whole country in the face? Therefore, the emperor generally directly decrees, who cares whether you want it or not, just sacrifice it to protect the honor of the country.

But Li Cong was unwilling to force Shen Ruyu like this, especially ...... As a male emperor, he is especially embarrassed in terms of this will, and in a sense, if he does not solve this embarrassment, this emperor will never want to legally marry for the rest of his life.

So Shen Ruyu is also very entangled - she can't reject the male emperor too absolutely, otherwise people will be annoyed and embarrassed and disrespectfully pressed down, and the huge Shen family will be affected, but she can't be too close to the male emperor, otherwise the public opinion pressure of the government and the opposition will also make the Shen family unable to raise their heads - how to say it, Shen Ruyu feels that the role she wants to play should be the first love of the male emperor.

When everyone is in love, they will have a hazy impression of the excellent opposite sex, and those small exchanges will lead to reverie, arouse waves in their hearts, sweet and sour, a few glances, a few times to rub shoulders, are like ambiguous signals revealed by the other party.

But when people grow up, their first love will end without a problem, and it will become the best memory in their memory.

— or a black history that is unbearable to look back on.

Shen Ruyu is actually not sure whether she will become the best memory or will be regarded as black history.

Because of being the emperor's first love, the difficulty is so great that it makes people want to cry.

First of all, the emperor thinks that he has a crush on you, but almost everyone will know about it, and when the emperor doesn't want you to know, you know it, but you can't show it.

Later, the emperor finds out that he is actually in love with you, and at this time, you have to pretend that you have noticed the other person's intentions but pretend not to know.

Then, when the emperor finds out that you already know that he admires you, he will feel that he has confessed but you have not received the exact signal at all, and if you do not respond in time, it will be regarded as acquiescence, and then your every move, he will feel that you are having an affair with him, and you must not show that he is self-inflicted, because when an emperor likes you, the respect that is too eager to draw a distance will be regarded as the greatest disrespect.

Otherwise, if the emperor likes you to give him a face today, if he doesn't like you in the future......

There is a good saying...... Don't look at today's jumping, be careful to pull the list in the future!

I've read so many novels about the love of kings and ministers, and Shen Ruyu has always avoided becoming the one before the appearance of the real heroine, I abused the emperor thousands of times, and the emperor treated me like my first love, but I didn't know how to "cherish" the White Lotus cannon fodder.

And finally, when you have perfected all of the above steps, congratulations......

The Emperor has already agreed to your heart!!

You can't say anything yet!!

What is more painful than talking about an emotionless relationship...... It's an emotionless love that you don't even have the right to break up......

- His Majesty the Emperor can twist the melon he likes as much as he wants, and the melon can't say that he is bitter.

Yes, if there is a dating website in this time and space, on Li Cong's personal page, the relationship status must be: in love.

And Shen Ruyu's emotional state must be: being in love......

"What am I afraid of?" Shen Ruyu expressed her understanding of the emperor's Majesty's mood of gains and losses, after all, she had also experienced such a youthful time, but although she understood, sometimes she couldn't wait to become the chief love guidance expert of the emperor's majesty to tell him - your attitude will be very tiring for the other party! She said a little helplessly, "I'm worried about you." ”

Li Cong looked a little helpless for a moment, he looked at her with wide eyes, and he was a little flattered.

Shen Ruyu only silently took out a book from his cuffs, gently handed it to him, and sighed slightly, "...... This is how my mother wants me to speak in public at this feast. ”

Li Cong subconsciously frowned.

For Shen Nanfeng, she tried her best to hinder him and Shen Ruyu, which was very difficult, but seeing that she was Ruyu's mother, he would not dislike the other party because of this, but she was also an important minister of the court, and when it came to such a court matter, it was handed over from Ruyu, which inevitably made people feel jealous.

For a while, all kinds of speculations came to mind - for example, she was going to use Ruyu as a bargaining chip to ask for money for her relatives? Or, do you want Ruyu to use him as a pedal, just like those imperial histories did, and use him as a tool to brush up fame, washing away her stigma of selling women for glory?

His Majesty the Emperor took it very happily, and then he just opened it and glanced at it a few times, and his expression changed greatly, cloudy and cloudy, and he was about to be angry subconsciously, but when he thought that this book was from his sweetheart's mother, and the person in front of him was not a maid in the palace eunuch who could let him vent his anger wantonly, he immediately tried to suppress it.

He tugged at the notebook tightly and looked at her with a rather aggrieved look, "...... Then why didn't you hand it in public? ”

"Do you want me to hand it over, and then the next day, everyone praises me for being high-spirited, fearless of power and violence, and brave to speak out? And then you have a reputation for being lascivious and extravagant? Shen Ruyu lowered her eyes and said, "There is a difference between direct admonition and insult, what is the difference between this recital and pointing at your nose and scolding?" Just because of the banner of imperial history, even if the emperor is scolded like this, he can't have a word of complaint, and he has to come out to apologize and express repentance...... Do you think I'll be happy that way? ”

Li Cong was silent for a moment, his expression was very peculiar, as if he wanted to smile, and he wanted to try his best to appear steady, he seemed to feel that he should say something to prove that he was moved, and he wanted to say something else to make Shen Ruyu realize that he didn't mean to blame.

As a result, he said nothing with a frustrated face on his last face. “…… I didn't mean that. ”

Shen Ruyu glanced at him, laughed slightly, and suddenly warmed up the atmosphere that almost fell to the freezing point, "I know." ”

Seeing her smile, Li Cong couldn't help laughing, "-Say, speaking of which, you have been changing your clothes for too long." ”

He clumsily tried to stir up a lighter and interesting topic, but he couldn't help but feel frustrated that what he was saying was boring and incomprehensible.

Obviously, in the past, he was favored under the knees of his mother and father, with a mouth of sweet words, and he used to coax people to be happy, but when he met Shen Ruyu, he was always worried about the other party's thoughts, and he didn't even dare to speak lightly.

"You're probably here too early today."

But Shen Ruyu joked and caught the words he threw out a little abruptly.

She is always like this, never cold, no matter what you say, she can tolerate it, always gentle and amiable, showing a slight smile, kind and warm.

"—because I want to see you." Seeing her smiling, gentle and amiable appearance, Li Cong couldn't help but want to confide in her, because he noticed that the other party was a little absent-mindedly cold, he forcibly endured his shame, blushed, and tried to say his feelings frankly and bluntly, "You said that our relationship is still not known to outsiders, and you don't want to enter the palace to see me...... I miss you. ”

Dissecting such a humble mood in front of others is obviously extremely shameful for the emperor, who has always been arrogant and arrogant in front of people, but he very much hopes to be able to get a response.

Shen Ruyu was surprised by this somewhat astonishing frankness, and lost her voice for a while. Without waiting for her reply, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but say with a little grievance, "But Ayu, you don't miss me, right?" ”

"The capital all say that Ruyu Niang is amorous, presumably you have a lot of confidants in Lanyan, right?"

However, hearing this, Shen Ruyu couldn't help but laugh softly, "With you, who dares to be my confidant?" ”

- Sometimes making jokes about sensitive topics just proves that she doesn't care about his identity, which is exactly what Li Cong wants.

Of course, Li Cong understood what she meant, he was silent for a while, and said in a low and cautious voice, "...... I will not crush you with imperial power. He said softly. Never. ”

However, everyone knows that whoever really believes in the emperor's word is a real fool.

“…… I will never hurt you. Ayu. ”

His Majesty the Emperor noticed the other party's disapproving perfunctory, and couldn't help but stretch out his hands to hug Shen Ruyu, and gently rested his chin on the girl's slender shoulders, as if he didn't get the warm response he wanted for his own mood, and as if he was anxious because his mood didn't seem to be fully understood by the other party, "We want to be together all the time." Never lose each other, white-headed to old age, okay? ”

“…… Your Majesty is thinking so sincerely now, and when you meet more and better people in the future, you won't think like this," Shen Ruyu didn't answer, she said quietly and gently, "One day, maybe Your Majesty will meet a woman who makes your heart even more exciting, and at that time, ......"

"No, it won't." But Li Cong stubbornly interrupted her, and said extremely arbitrarily, "It is said that the emperor will never break his word." I said that I will always like Ayu, and I will always like you, and I will never change. ”

"Absolutely not."
