Ahh Momoda –

------Off topic------

"Because my chicks were taken by weasels."

Xia Chuqi raised his head, looking at the sky with tears, and the corners of his lips were clearly smiling.

"Chu Qi, why are you crying?"

I don't know when, Xia Chuqi was already in tears.

She talked for a long time, about how the hen misses the chicks, how the hens protect the chicks, and how to guard against the weasels, but she never heard Xia Chuqi's response. She was a little strange, turned her head sharply, and was stunned for a moment.

"A beautiful and proud hen struggled to hatch a chick. The hen became a mother, and she was happy and nervous at the same time, and she couldn't give up all day. She is happy that the chick is cute, beautiful, and smart, and everyone likes her. But what she was even more nervous about was that she was always worried that she wouldn't be able to protect the chicks, and the chicks would be taken by the weasel......"

She cleared her throat cautiously, looked at Xia Chuqi, and used the most straightforward language, twisting her fingers one by one, to relay the story that Yan Ergui had told her.

"You hear me clearly, I'm going to talk."

"Oh." Zhao Ziyue is a simple child, her irritable mind was once soothed by the story of Yan Ergui, she thought that everyone could be comforted like her, so she did not refuse.

She sighed, "Ziyue, you can tell me a story too." ”

Looking at the simple wetness in her tearful eyes, Xia Chuqi thought that it would be a blessing for a person to cry freely when he was in pain.

"I can't do it."

Zhao Ziyue tugged at the corners of her clothes and muttered her mouth.

Xia Chuqi smiled, "What about worrying?" It can't change anything, it's better to take it easy and wait quietly. You can't solve the problem in a hurry, Ziyue, you should learn from me a little. ”

"Chu Qi, aren't you worried about my nineteenth brother?"

Her abnormal expression finally shocked Zhao Ziyue.

She said a lot, but Xia Chuqi only responded to her occasionally, always with a faint smile on her face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

is different from what Xia Chuqi imagined, none of her words seem to be what she wants to say to Yan Ergui, but every word is said to him. She talked about Concubine Gong's dystocia when she gave birth to her, about her own dystocia when she gave birth to Yaya, about how good the ghost brother was to her, how bad she was to her, about her mood, about how much she didn't hate him anymore, and how much she missed her after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she hadn't seen Yaya's face for a long time......

The two of them moved chairs, sat under the ginkgo tree full of fallen leaves, and tasted Erbao's father-in-law's increasingly exquisite tea, and Zhao Ziyue opened the conversation.

Xia Chuqi couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only coax her, "Okay, okay, he will come back, if you have anything to say, tell me first, it's the same." ”

"I didn't think he'd die, I still haven't said anything."

"Chu Qi ......" Seeing her so indifferent, Zhao Ziyue frowned, and tears fell down her cheeks, and she wiped it with her sleeve, but the more she wiped it.

"I'm not the king of Hades, I don't care about life or death."

Xia Chuqi looked at her, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Chu Qi, if something happened to him, will he die?"

Xia Chuqi didn't move, Qinglan glanced at her, sighed and walked out to meet the eldest princess and invited her to take a seat. But Zhao Ziyue's face was anxious, where can she sit down? Seeing Xia Chuqi, she rushed over regardless of it.

"Chu Qi...... Oh no. ”

Unlike Qinglan's restrained and subtle, Zhao Ziyue is a cheerful and moody woman, and the next morning after getting the news of Yan Ergui's accident, she hurried to the Wei State Mansion. Before anyone arrived, the voice came in.

He would never know that there was a man waiting silently for him to return.

It's just that he must not know what she misses.

There have been countless times before that Chen Jing would follow Zhao Zun to the battlefield, and she often saw him like this, but she never had that feeling of scratching her heart and lungs. But this time, probably because of Xia Chuqi's joke, she felt that he was different from others, and she really missed her heart. When I dream back in the middle of the night, I will sit quietly on the bed with my hands folded and pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

On the day of the opening of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the southern suburbs will sacrifice to the sky, and the seventh day of the first summer did not send it, but Qinglan went. She did not enter the school ground, but waited alone on the road that the southern expedition army must pass, hiding from a distance, and saw Zhao Zhu, and also saw Chen Jing riding on horseback in heavy armor.

Don't say Miss Seven, don't you always want to?

She sighed, probably because she missed it too much, and her mind didn't belong, right?

Miss Seven is a little strange these days, she seems to live in her own world, talking to her, she often can't hear, several times, Qinglan began to suspect that there was something wrong with her ears, but whenever she communicated with her because of suspicion, she could hear it again.

Qinglan looked at her, the smile on her face stiffened.

But Xia Chuqi turned his head and didn't react anymore.

"You know, if the slave doesn't read it, won't it? lest you be made fun of. Qinglan laughed silently, teasing her.

"It's better for you to read it."

Xia Chuqi looked back at her mouth and smiled.

"Miss Seven......" Qinglan shouted, seeing that she didn't look over, she walked over helplessly and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't you miss your master?" ”

Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, touched his chin, and didn't know if he heard it, his face was light, he looked at the fallen leaves flying outside the window, and said softly, "Read it, read it, read it again, the leaves in this courtyard are almost finished by you." ”

Qinglan blushed, "I'm thinking about my master." ”

She was in a hurry, but Xia Chuqi was not in a hurry, and occasionally teased her, "Are you missing your master, or are you thinking about your brother Jing?" Afraid that he will get hurt and have an accident? ”

Concern is chaotic, and some people are in a hurry. For example, Qinglan, after getting the news of Yan Ergui's injury, she walked around the house at a loss, unable to keep her soul, not eating well, sleeping well, and being so anxious.

The twenty-seventh day of the lunar month of this year is not only the wedding of Zhao Zhu, the king of Jin, and Wuren Xiaoxiao, but also the wedding day of Emperor Dayan. If the wedding of King Jin is delayed because of the war, it is not a big deal, and it can be postponed. But Zhao Zhu's absence will not affect the emperor's wedding. As long as the king of Jin has been dragged to the south, then on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the emperor can sit back and relax.

The situation in the south is stalemate, which is not a good thing for the imperial court, but Zhao Mianze got the news, but he was not in a hurry or impatient, and the smile on his face did not go away all day long. His expression made the discerning person suddenly realize.

When this news was received, there was an uproar.

When the news reached Jingshi, it was September 17.

He seemed to be in a hurry to make a quick decision, so he had no choice but to divide his troops to annihilate the enemy, so he ordered Chen Jing, the left general of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and Li Qing, the left deputy general, to enter the front line of the Taojiang River, and ordered Yan Ergui, the right general of the Southern Expeditionary Army, to lead the vanguard on the right road and make a feint attack on Mouding. Ke Yan's two ghosts were unfavorable, and they encountered the main force of treason in Muding, and were seriously wounded, and the Southern Expeditionary Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

As a result, King Jin was in a hurry.

On 27 August, Wuding was in an emergency, and the rebel forces of the three countries, including Wuna, changed their previous posture of concentrating firepower to fight with the Dayan army, and instead divided their troops into three-way operations, taking the Yuanjiang and Taojiang rivers as the line, surrounding the Southern Expeditionary Army in the middle, encircling but not attacking, avoiding its main force, inserting from the Kunyang area, and fighting with a small force of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

According to the good news, on August 25, the Jin king Zhao Zhusuo led the southern expedition army out of Huichuanwei, and two days later, captured Qujing Mansion, Wuding Mansion, and Yao'an Mansion, and was planning to enter Chuxiong from Muding. The armies of Una, Ahu and Anguo gathered in the area of Chuxiong and Erhai to prepare to recapture the lost territory, and at the end of August, the two sides were at a stalemate.

Since the first victory of Huichuanwei, the snowflake-like good news, from the south to the side, across thousands of mountains and rivers, continued to fly into the gradually cool Jingshi, but the seventh day of the summer still did not receive Zhao Zhu's letter.

Of course, while praising God, no one will forget the person who is a god. Zhao Mianze was praised as the Holy Lord Ming Jun with his open-mindedness and good governance, and the courtiers began to squander his merits and virtues for him at the suggestion of Lan Zi'an.

History is always strikingly similar, just like the Hongtai Dynasty, an era in which everyone praised the great general Wang Yongmeng came again, and Zhao Zhu, who had won many battles, once again became a god. The only difference is that he used to be the god of Emperor Hongtai, and now he is the god of Zhao Mianze.

Heroes are born in troubled times, and the most produced in prosperous times are those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Among the kings and ministers standing above the highest power hall of Da Yan in Fengtian Palace, there are too many people who are used to living a comfortable and enjoyable life, and are accustomed to the luxury of being drunk with paper and gold.

The blood of countless soldiers was exchanged for a compliment to the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise! Hooray, hooray, hooray. ”

Zhao Mianze said this sentence in the main hall.

"I know Uncle Nineteen."

Many of the ministers were surprised, but they dared not speak. And those ministers who had imagined all kinds of variables after he regained military power before Zhao Zun set out on the expedition had to shut up.

The strange thing is that he will win the battle for Zhao Mianze.

It is not surprising that King Jin once again won the battle.

Zhao Mianze, who was sleeping in the Qianyuan Palace, didn't close his eyes. The good news is the good news, and it is also the first war victory since he ascended to the pole, and before dawn, he hurriedly got up and washed, and arrived at the Fengtian Temple before the Manchu courtiers, and presided over the court meeting of this day.

This was the first good news of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

According to the military intelligence documents, the Southern Expeditionary Army led by General Wang Zhaozhu had arrived at Huichuanwei on the evening of 20 August, captured the first-line towns on the Jinsha River, and prepared to lead the army to the south on 21 August.

After returning from the Ding'an Hou Mansion, Xia Chuqi was even more silent. From the day Zhao Zhu left south, until the beginning of September, she did not receive a single word from the south, but on the fifth day of the first month of September, an urgent report of the 800-mile military situation from Huichuanwei came to the imperial city.

She just silently looked up at the dark sky.

Xia Chuqi also did not explain.

He just walked silently beside her.

A Yi did not ask.

It was evening when she went, and the feast had dispersed, and there was no singing or dancing, and her deeds did not attract anyone's attention. However, Jia Yi, who accompanied her to the court, found that when she went, her face was full of hope and expectation, but when she came out of the Hou Mansion, the felt hat on her head to prevent the wind was even lower. Looking closely, there seemed to be a touch of moisture in the corners of her eyes.

On August 22, the little girl adopted by the Hou family in Ding'an was full moon, and she invited the full moon wine in the Hou mansion. For Princess Hechang, there were a lot of officials in the court, and Xia Chuqi also sneaked away.

On August 20, not long after the day of the family reunion, Nan Yan's envoy Yuan Xiaogong took Nan Yan's heavy dowry to Princess Wuren, and took the official boat from the Jingshi ferry all the way north to Beidi.

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongtai, major events were reported frequently.

"Nope. Try Blade and want to feel how she feels. After a pause, she said: "The revenge has not been avenged, how can I be willing to die?" ”

But the knife was crying, but Xia Chuqi looked at her and laughed.

"You want to die too?" Dongfang Qingxuan was annoyed, and suddenly brushed away the embroidered spring knife in her hand. The poor knife was once again thrown to the ground by its owner, and was abandoned for the second time in its life, and let out a "clang" cry.

"Pain is the most painful thing in the world. It doesn't hurt, it's lucky. Governor, how about you give me a knife too? ”

Xia Chuqi looked at his open and closed mouth, as if he understood what he meant, shook his head, gently pushed him away, picked up the embroidered spring knife that fell on the ground, stuffed it into his hand, and pointed to his neck.

"Chu Qi, don't talk about this. Tell me first, have you heard my voice? What's wrong with your ears? ”

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at her, and his usual calm complexion changed greatly.

His voice was like a shout, like a roar, but she didn't hear it at all, only looked away at the tongue of fire on the candlestick, and continued, "The time it takes for such a fast embroidered spring knife to cut through a baby's skin may be faster than the pain of human nerve reflexes. So, she really can't understand it...... Painful. ”

"Xia Chu! Chu Qi - What's wrong with you? ”

Her surprisingly calm tone shocked Dongfang Qingxuan.

"Dongfang Qingxuan, what are you frowning about? It's not your style. Didn't you say that? People live to laugh, because when they die, they will die for a long time. ”

"Chu Qi-" Dongfang Qingxuan's face was distorted.

"The embroidered spring knife is really fast."

She squinted slightly, as if she didn't hear the screeching sound of the knife falling to the ground, just looked at the long scratch on the brick, and raised a weird smile.

"Did you hear that? Well? ”

"Chu Qi, what's wrong with you? Can't hear me? Dongfang Qingxuan finally panicked, and with a "clang", the embroidered spring knife fell to the ground in response, smashing a long scratch on the smooth square brick floor. He ignored his beloved embroidered spring knife, one hand slammed Xia Chuqi's shoulder, and the other arm hugged her in front of him.

She looked away, didn't look at his mouth, and asked again.

"What are you talking about?"

She didn't answer, her brows tightened, her heart twitching and heaving in pain as if it were entangled in aquatic weeds, and there was nothing in her ears except a faint "buzzing" sound.

"Chu Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Dongfang Qingxuan lowered his head slightly in confusion, staring at her dilated pupils.

Once it's strange, and the second time it's weird.

"What do you say? Say it again. ”

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled and sent the handle of the knife forward, she didn't take it, just frowned, her head tilted slightly, as if she was examining his expression, and as if she was puzzled by what he said.

"I said if you have any hatred, kill me."

"But what did you just say?"

She praised it, and Dongfang Qingxuan was slightly stunned when she heard it, but she didn't seem to realize it, and slowly raised her head, the corners of her lips trembling slightly.

"The knife is beautiful."

Xia Chuqi seemed to have just come back to his senses, looked at him, and lowered his head again, looking at his white and slender knuckles, as well as the embroidered spring knife handle held in the middle of the knuckles, with beautiful texture and exquisite workmanship.

"Come on. Do it. ”

"You can't move?" Dongfang Qingxuan glanced at her, the hanging left sleeve did not move at all, only the right sleeve was brushed, and the right hand slowly hung down, rubbing the handle of the embroidered spring knife like stroking a beloved, and then pulled it out of the sheath inch by inch, slowly approached, and handed the handle to her.

She still looked at him, speechless.

"You hate me? Can't wait to kill me? He laughed mockingly.

She looked at him, not speaking, not crying.

"If you want to cry, just cry." Dongfang Qingxuan said.

Xia Chuqi's mouth opened, pulling his chest fiercely, as if he wanted to say something, wanted to ask something, or wanted to scold something, but his heart seemed to roll into a boiling oil pot, being fried and burned and cut, his throat couldn't make a sound, like he was dumb, and his ears were "buzzing", like he was deaf. There was a white void in front of her, so that she could barely breathe, her whole body was weak, and her stiff body was like a layer of concrete, and she couldn't move a single thing.

"She has no pain, and the embroidered spring knife in this seat is very fast."

Looking at her trembling body, Dongfang Qingxuan was leisurely.

Xia Chuqi's brain "buzzed", his eyes widened, his heart seemed to be pulled and pulled hard, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt as if his five organs and six lungs were being gnawed, and he couldn't say a word.

"I killed it."

But Dongfang Qingxuan's demonic figure stepped forward and added.

She thought stupidly, stunned, and subconsciously didn't want to listen.

It's not winter yet, why is it so cold?

The wind that came from nowhere made her feel cold.

Xia Chuqi looked at him in a daze.

She wanted to escape, but Dongfang Qingxuan didn't seem to want to give her a chance, he blinked his narrow phoenix eyes, the corners of his lips raised, and his smiling voice was careless, but it was very serious, so that people would not doubt the truth of his words at all.

"She's dead."

She didn't dare to ask who the baby who was burned in the Yanchun Palace that night, let alone what happened in the Yanchun Palace that night. It was also the first time that she discovered her cowardice. It turns out that not everything can be faced calmly. It turns out that she also has times when she wants to escape and deceive herself.

Xia Chuqi said "um", looking at his bewitching face, he felt that his eyes were blooming, his throat was blocked, and the words that had been hovering in his mind for a long time couldn't come out of his mouth.

Being busy with business is the best excuse in the world.

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled, "This seat is busy with official business, and I can't take a break." ”

"Then why did you come at this time?"

It turned out that Zhao Zun told him that Xia Chuqi was a little surprised.

"I heard you were looking for me."

That day, after a long period of rain, the night was very dark, and there was not half a star in the sky, so he stood at her door in bright clothes, looking at her lazily reclining on the couch, with a smile on his lips like a spring breeze.

Dongfang Qingxuan came on the fifteenth day after Zhao Zhu's departure.

On such a day, there was a haze in the Chutz courtyard.

No one could guess what she was thinking, and no one dared to ask.

Don't mention it, but you just don't want to?

Even, she didn't mention Zhao Bottle.

This time, she never mentioned going south.

But not only did she not break out, but she became more and more silent day by day, and she didn't look like she was about to collapse, and it was not like the last time Zhao Zhu went on the Northern Expedition, she happily tried every way to go north with him every day.

When it rained, her face was as ugly as the weather before a storm, gloomy, dark, cold, and expressionless, which frightened the people waiting around her, one by one, for fear that she would suddenly erupt and clean up people.

When the wind blows, she seems as if nothing has happened, and she is still as optimistic, cheerful, and smiling as ever.

But she wasn't interested in asking her, and Ah Ji didn't seem interested in telling her. The two men looked at each other every day, each opened their eyes, and entered their own world. Ah Kee continued to be her prison warden, and she continued to be cranky in the wind and rain.

This man is gone! Xia Chuqi so asserts.

Confinement, it's too irritable. The Mansion of the State of Wei is too deserted. At the beginning of August, Gu Ajiao resigned, and Xia Chuqi gave her some silver, but she didn't force her to stay, but she didn't forget something. And Ah Ji, who used to keep an eye on her every day, also looked a lot lax, and often Xia Chuqi took the initiative to look for her, she was still there and didn't see her coming.

At the beginning of the summer, the seventh lived in the orbit he arranged, and the days were a little depressed.

For each step, seven steps will be counted.

This is Zhao Zhu.

Xia Chuqi only laughed when he learned of what Zhao Mianze had done. There is no need to guess with her brain, she also knows that this is Zhao Zhu's doing. He left the Jingshi, but his eyes and ears did not leave. He once again took out the Heavenly Tribulation and said that there was only one purpose, that is, to contain Zhao Mianze and prevent him from coming to Huo Huo during his absence.

There was a lot of commotion over there, but the Wei Mansion was very clean.

The matter made a vigorous fuss, and finally ended with a compromise between the two sides - the courtiers no longer objected to Zhao Mianze and Xia Chu as the queen. But in order to appease the courtiers, Zhao Mianze never set foot in the Wei Mansion again.

This time, they jointly wrote a letter asking Zhao Mianze to abandon the Xia family and establish a virtuous concubine. This move finally annoyed Zhao Mianze. Although he did not go to the Wei Mansion in the end, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he stayed alone in the imperial study, wrote tens of thousands of words, and even criticized the official nine folds, and sincerely praised Xia Chu's innocence.

Zhao Mianze went to the Wei State Mansion in Weiwei, and before he left the Donghua Gate, he was blocked at the palace gate by several famous officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

The nine twists and turns were all prevaricated by him.

Zhao Mianze did not express his position during the discussion, only saying that this marriage was set by Emperor Hongtai, although he was the emperor, he had to obey it, let alone destroy the marriage. But the official did not stop at his prevarication. From the sixth to the fifteenth day of August, the official Yan wrote nine books in a row, asking Zhao Mianze to choose another virtuous queen.

On the sixth day of the first month of August, some people admonished that the seventh lady of the Wei State Mansion repeatedly touched the national body of Dayan and injured the Son of Heaven because of the "Heavenly Tribulation", causing the assassination of the Son of Heaven, damaging the Empress Dowager, and killing the Empress Dowager, which is really not suitable for Empress Dayan.

After so many things, the officials of the DPRK and China finally smelled a trace of the cruelty hidden under his gentle appearance. But even so, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also dared to brush the tiger's whiskers.

Zhao Mianze first ascended to the throne, knows how to do it, and has done a good job. But a discerning person can see at a glance that he doesn't seem to have done anything, but just follows Zhao Zhu by taking advantage of the situation, but his moves are all calculating him. In other words, the two uncles and nephews are calculating each other.

The Tao comes to the world, and its ghosts are not gods.

To govern a big country, if you cook a small fresh.

In this way, Zhao Mianze can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only those small neighboring countries that are ready to move because of the attack of Una, Ahu and Annan dare not act rashly, but even those who have "other thoughts" in the DPRK and China, such as Zhao Gou and others, have to judge the situation again.

It seems that this is a very normal military arrangement, but if you look closely, it is meaningful. Three people went in three different directions. Yuan You went to Beidi to give a dowry, in addition to being the most powerful response to the breakdown of the relationship between Nanyan and Beidi and the possibility of rekindling the war, it also downplayed the role he might play before Zhao Mianze's wedding, as for the significance of Chen Daniu's trip to Liaodong, at least it can ensure that during this period, Zhao Zhu's power will not penetrate too deeply into the court.

Yuan Yu did not go south to fight, but he was not idle. Dramatically, on the second day of Zhao Zhu's expedition, he was entrusted with an important task by Zhao Mianze, as Nanyan's peace envoy, and went to Beidi to give a bride price for Princess Wuren's wedding. And Chen Daniu was also sent to Liaodong by Zhao Mianze on the eighth day of August due to defense problems in the north.

Different from the usual "troika" supporting Zhao Bottle's expedition every time, this time Zhao Bottle went south, without the "left arm" Chen Daniu, nor the "right arm" Yuan You. The only generals under his command were the newlywed Yan'er's Lieutenant Ma Du and the commander of the 3,000 battalions, Yan Ergui, who was promoted to the right general of the Southern Expeditionary Army and fought in the vanguard. In addition, Chen Jing, who had been in the Imperial City Guards for a long time, was allowed by Emperor Jianzhang Zhao Mianze to be promoted to the left general of the Southern Expeditionary Army before Zhao Zhu's southern expedition, and accompanied Zhao Zhu's southern expedition.

On the fourth day of the eighth month, Zhao Zhu led the southern expeditionary army all the way south with the "Wang's Destiny Banner" and went straight to Yungui.

~

She smiled, "No, every Mid-Autumn Festival in the future." ”

He turned his head slowly, stared at her deeply, sighed, took her into his arms, hoarsely voiced, and said word by word, "Ah Qi, I will definitely accompany you through the next Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

She was angry, "Okay, next Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll count the stars, and I'll count the months." ”

He replied, "There is only one moon, which suits your IQ." ”

"Why?" she asked. ”

He said, "You're not good for counting stars, you're only good for months." ”

She said, "If it's a Mid-Autumn Festival night, how nice it would be if you could count the stars with me in Beijing." ”

He said, "yes, another Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"The moon is almost full," she said. ”

That night, Zhao did not agree to her request. He didn't like her to see Dongfang Qingxuan, and he never liked it. But he didn't say no. On a night like this, the night before he left, neither she nor he wanted to add any more burden to the other party. I just want to say something that makes each other happy on this evening close to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Tell Dongfang Qingxuan that I want to see him."

shared the bed all night, and the two did not mention the slightest unpleasant thing. She stroked his handsome eyebrows. Don't complain, don't hate, don't ask, don't care, don't think, don't worry. He hugged her body, only kissed, only loved, only pity, only pity, only pet, only pain...... Until she panted out of his arms and said a word.

Di was quiet late at night, and the luan pillow was happy.

She nestled her head in his arms, her eyebrows smiling, her eyes smiling, her lips smiling, and she was smiling everywhere in her body.

"Ye is more beautiful."

"Ah Qi, Meiji."

She threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, fit him like a kitten, rubbed him, and rejoiced with him like a coquette, tossing and scattering her long hair, which fell on her body like a waterfall, and also on his shoulders, rubbing and tossing with his long hair in the firelight burning with red wax, reflecting the depth of his clear face, and also reflecting her little face with frosty skin fat white, warm than jade, greasy as paste, bright as spring.

"Zhao Nineteen, you have to take care."

Sentence after sentence of plain dialogue, the two of them calmly responded like a stream, it sounds like there is no difference from the parents who usually meet every time, but the relationship between people is extremely delicate, especially between lovers, the emotions are more sensitive. It doesn't need to be spoken, it doesn't need to be said explicitly, it doesn't have to ask each other, but it can understand that there is some inexplicable estrangement between them, a kind of estrangement that no one wants to puncture before Zhao Zun goes on the expedition. It may be as thin as paper, but in the end, it is still separated between the two, like a pot of boiling water, which makes people's internal organs ache, but they can't move away.

"You don't have to send it away, I'm used to it."

With a sigh, she blinked, "I can't send you tomorrow, you should be careful." ”

"Tomorrow." He replied.

Xia Chuqi didn't look at him, calmly, "When will you leave?" ”

"Okay."

Zhao Jun pursed the corners of his lips, hesitated for a long time, and said a word.

"Heh", Xia Chuqi interrupted him, his eyebrows cold, "Mothers, you have to see your own children with your own eyes to rest assured." Zhao Nineteen, don't worry about these things, you just have to kill the enemy and protect yourself......"

"Ah Qi-" Zhao Zhu called out to her, and said lightly, "The current situation is grim, don't go, so as not to arouse the suspicion and ...... of others"

"Okay. You won't lie to me. Xia Chuqi rubbed his tears, laughing like a tear, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "You can go with confidence, when I am out of confinement, I will think of going to Ding'an Hou Mansion and look at our little nineteen." ”

"Fool, when did you lie to you?"

Zhao was silent for a moment, and his voice was hoarse.

Xia Chuqi looked at him in a daze, stared blankly for a moment, suddenly grabbed his sleeve, and asked very nervously, "Really?" You didn't lie to me? ”

"Nope." Zhao Zhu said, "He didn't know you were pregnant." ”

"Zhao Mianze didn't have any suspicions?" Xia Chuqi's face froze and forced a smile.

"Didn't you say that? She is very good, in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, taken care of by Jinghua. ”

Zhao Zhu rarely saw Xia Chuqi so helpless, so helpless that her pretended strength could be completely destroyed in an instant. He froze for a moment, rubbing his thumb against her cheek, and his grim expression was so gloomy that he seemed to have something on his mind to tell her, but he couldn't say it after all.

That sparkle is very scorching. If you look closely, you can see that the moisture in the eyes reflects in the light.

Her eyes were unusually shining.

"Where's Little Nineteen? I want to meet her, can I? ”

For yourself? Actually, it's just for the country, right? Xia Chuqi was a member of the Red Thorn Special Combat Team in his previous life, and he understood the meaning of "for himself and for the country". She tugged at the corners of her lips, but didn't contradict him, only nodded meekly.

"It's not for Zhao Mianze, it's for myself."

"You have the power of the army, you don't have to go to war."

"It's decided."

"It's decided?" She asked again.

"Rush back before the big wedding." His voice choked slightly.

"How long?" She wasn't surprised.

Zhao Zhu's body stiffened slightly, turned sideways, wrapped his arms around her and leaned into his arms, his palms rubbed along her back from top to bottom, and his tone was solemn, "Yes." Ah Qi, I'm going to go south. ”

"Do you have something to say to me?"

"Hmm." He replied.

"Zhao Nineteen."

She stopped him, smiled and took the boot from his hand, placed it on the pillow, took his hand, and dragged it to the edge of the bed before looking up and staring at him earnestly. For a moment, he didn't speak, and she slowly leaned her head on his shoulder and called softly.

"You don't have to try, what you prepared is good."

Xia Chuqi stroked the begonia and said with a soft smile. Zhao Zun glanced at her, held the boots in her hand, said "try", and bent down to change her shoes.

"It's beautiful! I don't know how to put it on. ”

Those were two pairs of square-toe boots with platform soles. A pair is a stone blue satin embroidery, a pair is a brocade edge elastic ink, different from the ordinary palace boots, the boots are embellished with a few colorful pearls, spelled into a begonia pattern, there are small pink beads in the begonia stamen, it looks lifelike, very valuable.

"The master specially prepared it for you, can you take a look?"

"Hmm", Zhao Jun didn't say much, nor did he take the initiative to explain anything, just took out two pairs of brand-new boots from the baggage he brought with him and put them in front of her.

"Is there one? Maybe it's cold. Xia Chuqi smiled and raised his hands to cover his face, pulled the quilt to his chest, put his back against the head of the bed, and smiled softly, "I will have to ask Qinglan to change to a thicker quilt in a while." ”

"You don't have a good face?"

Zhao Zhu's body was slightly stunned. He looked at her, and that glance was as sharp as an arrow in his heart, but he didn't ask anything, just got up slowly, lit the candle in the room, and stood three feet away, looking at her quietly.

"Isn't it confinement? What do you do without sleeping all day long? ”

"It's dark, why are you still sleeping?"

She brushed her messy hair and smiled palely, as if she had never had doubts in her heart. Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, wrapping her body around her, staring more intently than ever.

"You're here?"

Xia Chuqi thought that Zhao Zhu was such a person.

There is a kind of person in the world, even if he is silent, silent, and motionless, he can affect the speed of the air flow in the space, so that everything around him revolves around him. If he is happy, the air flow in the space will be warm, and if he is indifferent, the air will be cold.

She patted her mouth and yawned, tilting her head slightly, only to notice a long figure standing on the edge of the couch. There was no candle in the room, and in the dim light, the man was like a goshawk falling in the dark night, cold, lonely, too high to look at.

"Ah......h

Xia Chuqi admires himself very much, and he always lacks his heart when he should be lacking his eyes. For example, now, I am obviously excited and anxious, but I can still eat refreshments quietly, and I slept for an afternoon after eating. In addition to seeing Zhao Zhu's majestic siege of the city and plundering the land in a dream, and dreaming that Xiao Nineteen's face was full of blood and shouting that it was a little unpleasant, she was like a child, sleeping until the sunset, sleeping until the sky was black, and when she woke up, the room was already pitch black.

"Eat."

Her instantly pale face frightened Meizi to regret it, she lowered her head, and her voice was almost inaudible, "Miss Seven, then, do you still eat the refreshments?" ”

"Let's go down."

At the beginning of the summer, he shivered and lay down in the quilt.

Meizi is not only a big mouth, but also has a simple and tight brain, and when she saw Xia Chuqi's ugly face, she wanted to speak to comfort her. But at this time, the more comforted she is, the easier it is to lead her train of thought into the path of sorrow.

"Miss Seven, maybe it's not a small county lord......"

Meizi's voice was not high, but Xia Chuqi felt that the words were harsh, piercing her back and breaking out in a cold sweat, so cold that it was no longer her hands and feet, but her whole body was so cold that it seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

"It's the former dynasty...... No, it's the former residence of Concubine Gong. Concubine Gong was favored in the previous dynasty, and the Yanchun Palace was extremely luxurious, but Hong Taiye hated it so much, so all the palaces near the Yanchun Palace were abandoned into cold palaces. As for the luxurious Yanchun Palace, no one has set foot in the ...... for more than 20 years."

"Where is Yanchun Palace?"

I don't know why I dodged? Xia Chuqi's eyes narrowed.

Meizi shook her head, not daring to look at her, "Who knows." ”

Xia Chuqi frowned, "It's a baby boy or a baby girl." ”

"I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard them chew their tongues...... It is said that on the night of the nineteenth day of last month, a fire broke out in Yanchun Palace, and it was not extinguished until dawn the next day. Some palace people said that there was a baby in the burned hall with his head split in half, and the burying grandmother also said that it looked like a newborn baby......"

"Don't don't, Miss Seven, I'll tell you about it." Meizi knew her personality, and when she heard this, her face turned pale, and goosebumps appeared on her body. In addition, she was originally a girl with a big mouth, hiding secrets in her heart, and she had been scratching the itch, and she was forced by Xia Chuqi like this, and she poured beans from a bamboo tube, and explained it all in one go.

Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his lips expanded, "Dear Miss Meizi, if I don't even come out with your little appearance, I will call myself Xiao Zhuge in vain." Let's tell you this, you have to say it today, you have to say it if you don't say it, I have to say it, I have ten spices of cartilage, nine palaces are scattered, eight immortals are scattered, and seven drunken ......"

Meizi smiled, and that smile was uglier than crying.

"No, no."

She's trying to keep her composure. What kind of people are on the seventh day of summer? Looking at a simple-minded girl like Meizi, you can see through it at a glance. Thinking about it, she yawned lazily and squinted at her, "What the hell is hiding from me, tell me honestly, and forgive you for your innocence." ”

"What, what?"

It stands to reason that Meizi is very familiar with her, and she shouldn't be so shocked when she drinks it, but in her shouting, Xia Chuqi obviously saw her slightly trembling body.

Before she could walk out of the door, Xia Chuqi called out to her.

"Come back!"

"Miss Seven, you lie down first, and the slave maid will go and prepare refreshments for you first!"

"No, not too much......" Meizi glanced at her nervously, her eyes flashed, she replied with a pout, and she didn't know what she thought, and she turned around and walked as fast as she could.

The corners of her lips lifted, and she pulled the quilt over with a smile to wrap her body tightly, and said, "Okay, don't be stupid and upset for him." Think about it, I'm a mother, I gave birth to a little nineteen, I have no milk, I don't look at it, I don't hug it, can I feel better? Half a month has passed, he doesn't hold Xiao Nineteen to see me, and he doesn't allow me to go to see her, every time he asks, he plays with me and flashes of words. It's better now, he simply patted his ass and was going to go to the south, I scared him like this, isn't it too much? ”

"It's just to block him." With a light snort, Xia Chuqi put his hands together and rubbed his palms together, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold from sleeping in this afternoon, and his whole body was not very comfortable. But she rubbed it for a while, but Meizi not only didn't move, but also didn't respond silently, looking uneasy.

"Why block? If it's blocked, we won't be able to get in. ”

Meizi looked at her in surprise, strange.

"Meizi, give me the tunnel tightly."

Meizi is a trembling person, and the words that are chattering are all for Zhao Zhu's injustice. But Xia Chuqi didn't seem to hear it, and when Meizi finished speaking, she thought about it and said something that was not related to the wind and horses.

With a light "oh", Xia Chuqi's voice dragged out and there was no movement. Meizi is Zhao Zhu's die-hard loyalist, thinking that he is going to the bloody battlefield again, his little face is full of unhappiness, "Miss Seven, the master should be here today, and when the time comes, you can persuade him, Da Yan is not alone, why do you think of him every time there is a war, and when the war is over, you don't recognize him." Isn't that a tight loss? ”

"It's going viral out there, as we just knew."

Xia Chuqi blinked his eyes and yawned, "I can forgive my IQ for being stupid for three years." After that, she glanced at Meizi's slightly upturned little mouth, and reached out to pat her, "Where did the news that the master is going to go on an expedition?" ”

Meizi rolled her eyes, "You didn't tell me, didn't you tell me too?" ”

Touching his chin, Xia Chuqi thought about it for a moment, "How could I possibly tell you that I dreamed of a house full of gold?" Their golden colors were so delightful that they all landed in my house. Then as soon as I was proud, I crossed my waist and looked up to the sky and smiled. As a result, I was very happy and sad, and accidentally dropped Xiao Nineteen to the ground, haha. ”

She asked eagerly, but Meizi didn't answer right away. She frowned, noticing the traces of salivation at the corners of Xia Chuqi's lips, so she replied, "Miss Seven, what did you dream about?" ”

"Is that true?"

As soon as mid-autumn arrives, the sky is high and clear, and it is a lot cooler, but the sun is shining in the daytime, and it is still hot and sultry, especially in the noon period, the wind outside cannot enter the house, and it is still in the seventh day of the first month of the month, and it is so stuffy that it scratches the scalp, and it is so hot that I can hear the news that Zhao Zhu is going to go on the expedition, and I almost sat up on the spot.
