"Your son-in-law is a real handsome man, smart and clear." Shen Nanyan praised truthfully.

Seeing that there was no trace of contempt in Shen Nanyan's eyes, there was pure appreciation in her eyes, and she was a little more sincere: "My son-in-law has never been selfish in dealing with others, and Miss Shen's praise for my son-in-law, the slave will definitely inform the son." ”

"You...... Don't tell him. Shen Nanyan quickly interrupted the little guy.

The little guy was silent, and there was obvious doubt in his eyes.

"Your son-in-law has a deep knot, so don't bother him because of a trivial matter."

Therefore, knowing his loneliness, difficulties, and pain, he did not want to disturb his purity because of his praise for his few words. He is the person who is as gentle as jade on the outside, but he is also full of loneliness in his heart.

She suddenly realized that she couldn't seem to be able to stop her mind anymore. As soon as she encountered Mu Zhao's matter, she seemed to have feelings and emotions.

With him, she always wants to say a few more words, and she also hopes that her relatives can like Mu Zhao, and listening to his self-deprecation, she can't help but want to persuade him and comfort him.

The vast world, the sun and the moon are positive and negative, the five elements of yin and yang, have their own rules, she has been in this half of her life, muddy and nightmarish, getting by, not knowing what love is, rarely emotional, and always maintaining a sense of alienation from people close to her, so as not to hurt others and mislead herself.

But on this summer day in the first year of Yongle, she fell in love with someone and then wanted to be with him.

Her love for him has nothing to do with Fengyue, only for sincerity.

What Shen Nanyan saw and heard today naturally reached Song Heng's ears, including seeing Mu Zhao.

Song Heng originally thought that Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao did not know each other, but the result was unexpected.

Ying Wei was ordered by him to pick up big things every day, but what he didn't expect was that in just a few months, she and Mu Zhao were already familiar with each other.

He knows her temperament too well, she is definitely not the kind of person who will comfort others easily, but she speaks easily when Mu Zhao laughs at herself.

Whether it was from the intuition of an ordinary person or the intuition of a man, he smelled something unusual.

Song Heng's eyes darkened, his expression changed unpredictably, although Ying Wei couldn't guess the king's thoughts at this time, he also knew that his mood must be bad.

"Didn't I tell you to report when something big happened? Why are you here now? Song Heng said coldly.

"I'm scared, it's really Miss Shen's recent facts that I don't know how to report it." Although the shadow guard knew that the king's wrath was not something he could bear, he couldn't help but defend himself when he was so wronged at the moment.

Thinking that Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao were unconsciously familiar under his nose, he had some indescribable feelings in his heart for a while, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he became more and more irritable: "Then what kind of thing do you tell me is a big deal?" Is it worth your report? ”

"Back to the emperor, Miss Shen has only passed a few letters with Mu Gongzi in recent months, and the content of the letter is not inappropriate for the lowly to have secretly read one, so the lowly post will not have time to repay the report." Shadow Wei explained.

"What does the letter say?" Song Heng asked lightly.

"A few lines of poetry and songs, and then it is idyllic." Ying Wei was actually a little puzzled, at first when he found out that Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao had sent a message, he thought he had discovered some big secret, thinking that the two of them were intentional, but he didn't expect to open it and take a look, but it was a discussion of poetry and songs.

Sure enough, people with a little literature and ink in their chests and a little talent are discussing nothing more than the poems and songs, books, calligraphy and paintings of those literati and ink writers, who knows that this matter will be specifically questioned by the king.

After Song Heng heard the simple poems and songs, his expression was obviously relieved, and he continued.

"That's it, you should pay more attention to the movements of Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao in the future."

"Obedience."

After the shadow guard retired, Song Heng called Zheng Fuhai to tell the matter: "You go and invite Mu Gongzi into the palace." ”

Although he heard from the shadow guard that the two of them were just a simple correspondence, he still felt deeply uneasy.

The stars have changed, the sun and the moon have changed, the years have passed in a hurry, five years have passed, and he has waited too long, so long that he has almost forgotten the taste of happiness, and he can't afford to gamble anymore.

Zheng Fuhai's movements were very fast, and in less than two hours, Mu Zhao was already sitting on the desk in the study and playing chess with Song Heng.

Both of them are personable young men, one in white clothes is as warm as jade, the other is black and handsome, the sun shines on their bodies, and the two of them are even more handsome.

"When you return, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your chess skills have retired a little." Song Heng held a black chess piece and left no piece of armor under Mu Zhao's hard-won chess game.

Mu Zhao showed a chagrin expression on his face, and with his handsome appearance, his jade-like face was a little more vivid: "The emperor taught me a lesson." ”

Song Heng listened to Mu Zhao's words and put away the chess pieces: "Go back and practice your chess skills, and the next time you enter the palace, I will play another game with you." ”

Mu Zhao nodded and waved his hand to salute: "Yes." ”

Song Heng stopped Mu Zhao's movements and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite, you, Ah Jin, the three of us are brothers who grew up together, and there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers in private." ”

"Yes."

Although he has made his attitude clear to Mu Zhao many times, he does not treat them as subordinates, Shen Jin is fine, although he still acts the same way, he is a lot more casual to him, but Mu Zhao always remembers that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, respect and humility are orderly.

Even playing chess is to preserve the strength to play against him, and every time he always does not eat his chess pieces too much, nor does he have too many wins, so that whether he is a king or a brother, he will not be unhappy because of poor chess skills.

said that Mu Zhao was exquisite, but he didn't have any selfishness, he always took into account the feelings of others first when doing anything, saying that Mu Zhao was as gentle as jade, easy-going and kind, and approachable, but neither Shen Jin nor him could enter his heart, and failed to make Mu Zhao really believe in them.

Sometimes, he always feels that Mu Zhao is a gentle and elegant image on weekdays, but in fact, people are cold, so cold that people can't get close.

Thinking of this, he naturally remembered Shen Nanyan and him, Song Heng looked at Mu Zhao, and said thoughtfully: "When you return, you have been very close to Shen Nanyan recently?" ”

After saying this, Song Heng stared at Mu Zhao's face and wanted to explore, but Mu Zhao was unmoved, his expression was as usual: "Why does the emperor ask like this?" ”

Seeing Mu Zhao's usual reaction, Song Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm just asking casually, listening to the shadow guard talk about today's events, just speculate at will." ”

Mu Zhao went to settle down to visit Li Wen's family, it was Song Heng's instructions, and what happened in the Li Mansion today naturally came to Song Heng's ears, Mu Zhao didn't think about it elsewhere, and said truthfully: "I happened to meet in the Li Mansion today." ”

Although Song Heng's attitude towards the Shen family is suppressed, his attitude towards Shen Jin is still the same, and Mu Zhao can't see through Song Heng's attitude towards the Shen family. Was it instructed by General Shen?

Song Heng lowered his eyes and was silent, and only after a long time did he raise his eyes: "When I returned, something happened in Youzhou, and you need to run for me." ”

Song Heng's gaze stared straight at Mu Zhao, giving him a feeling of being targeted by a jackal, a feeling of being oppressed.

The palace wall said long, Mu Zhao's mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time, and Song Heng's eyes really stared at him, as if he had seen through all his unbearable, despicable and gloomy.

"You've been getting very close to Shen Nanyan lately?"

Thinking of this question, Mu Zhao's heart twisted fiercely, and there was a slight pain in his heart, reminding him of his thoughts.

Is it the question that makes his heart ache, or is it the person who makes his heart ache?

He knew, maybe Song Heng might also know, and sending him to Youzhou might be a warning to him.

Because he didn't tell the truth about seeing Shen Nanyan, warned him not to interfere too much in the affairs of the Shen family, or warned him not to get too close to Shen Nanyan?

If the first case is fine, what if it is the second?

He remembered that he and Shen Jin entered the palace to see Song Heng not long ago, and listened to the father-in-law in the study talk about Song Heng and her in the imperial garden, and after thinking about it, maybe Song Heng left her not necessarily to contain the Shen family, but simply wanted to keep her.

Perhaps, the person in Song Heng's heart is Shen Nanyan.

It was Shen Nanyan from beginning to end.

Because it was her, Song Heng ignored the edict of the first emperor and asked General Shen's family to return to Beijing not long after ascending the throne.

will make a special trip to Zheng Fuhai to order that she must go to the palace with General Shen and them for a banquet.

Because I just want to see her.

And Concubine Yu, who has been pampered for so long, thinks about it carefully, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to her.

Thinking about it, there seemed to be a stone pressing down on his chest, which made him a little breathless.

He clenched the holy decree in his hand, and his will to go to Youzhou was written under the vermilion pen and ink, the corners of his mouth were slightly bitter, his life was short for more than ten years, and there was no time that was more bitter than today.

He thought he might never be able to catch the moon in the sky again.

Mu Zhao left Beijing on a drizzly day and headed for Youzhou.

This time he went to Youzhou to do business, he didn't need to tell anyone, he only took a few small guys to go alone.

Shen Nanyan only knew the news when he heard Shen Jin mention it a few days later.

Shen Jin was really upset about staying in the Shen Mansion in his spare time, and after fiddling in the mansion for a few days, he left the mansion happily early in the morning.

After an hour, he came back again, and complained to her during the meal: "Mu Guishi is too little of a friend, and he won't tell me when he leaves Beijing, it's hard for me to go out of the house to find him today." ”

Because Shen's father had not returned to the house yet, Shen Jin's tone was humming, and he strongly needed Shen's mother and Shen Nanyan to comfort him.

Shen's mother didn't squint, and continued to add vegetables to Shen Nanyan's bowl, ignoring him.

Shen Jin put his goal on Shen Nanyan, expecting Shen Nanyan to give him some comfort.

Although his sister is cold, he has always been respectful of his brother, and seeing that he has not received a response for a long time, Shen Jin looked at Shen Nanyan and saw his sister stunned, and he didn't know if she heard what he said.
