The pavilion was dead silent, and Zhao Che looked at Shen Bai fixedly without reacting.

He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart now, he just felt that this warmth at his fingertips was so beautiful, whether it was before or in the future, he would never meet such a person again, dare to tell the truth so carelessly in front of him, and pierce all his disguise masks.

He wanted to keep the warmth.

Shen Bai's head was a little dizzy, and when he heard someone mention Gu Hengzhou in a daze, he subconsciously wanted to stand up, his hand was grabbed tighter, Zhao Che pulled her slightly, Shen Bai lost his balance, fell on his lap, and his waist was encircled.

The ambergris used in the emperor's bedroom is all incense, the taste is strong, thick and deep, and full of coercion, Shen Bai was a little stunned, supporting Zhao Che's chest, looking at him with wide eyes and stunned.

Her eyes are as clear as water, and when she looks at people like this, she has a kind of innocence that does not understand the world, reflecting Zhao Che's dark and deep face, like two extremes.

Inexplicably, Zhao Che had a dark desire spreading in his heart, and he wanted to get involved with her.

Let these eyes no longer be clear, cry for him, be moved for him, and fall into the abyss for him......

Countless dark associations extended, and Sun Yuehai said outside again: "Your Majesty, Commander Gu asks to see!" ”

Shen Bai heard it clearly, blinked her eyes, and wanted to push Zhao Che away, but she didn't have much strength in her hands and feet now, and her body was also weak, Zhao Che used a little force, and he imprisoned her in his arms and couldn't move.

"Let him in."

Zhao Che ordered in a deep voice, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the mat blocking the front of the pavilion being lifted, bowing his head to cover Shen Bai's lips, a cold wind was blowing in his ears, and the man's rough calloused hands were blocking in front of him.

Gu Hengzhou said: "Your Majesty, you have crossed the rules. ”

Zhao Che hugged Shen Bai, looked up at Gu Hengzhou, and asked calmly: "How can Aiqing be sure that I have crossed the rules, not that she deliberately seduced me for some purpose?" ”

The wine was completely up, Shen Bai didn't know that Shen Bai had happened, and it was very uncomfortable to be imprisoned by Zhao Che, and snorted softly, Gu Hengzhou didn't look at her, just stared at Zhao Che and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what she does, the minister only needs her." ”

The implication is that even if Shen Bai seduces Zhao Che for some purpose, he will still act as if nothing has happened.

With this sentence, Zhao Che finally let go of Shen Bai, Shen Bai's body fell down softly, Gu Hengzhou first reached out to hold out her head, and then picked her up by the waist.

As soon as his body was empty, the coldness took advantage of the weakness, Zhao Che looked down at his hand wrapped in a white silk handkerchief, and asked coldly: "As soon as Xingyuan made a move just now, I thought you wanted to kill me." ”

Gu Hengzhou's face tightened, and he said coldly: "The Gu family has been loyal for generations, and will never do such a rebellious thing, but if Your Majesty does not believe that the Gu family has such loyalty, Weichen is willing to hand over the military power in his hand." ”

Zhao Che clenched his fists and said sincerely: "Looking at the court, the Gu family and the Shen family are what I can believe the most, yesterday the little young master of the Xiangfu was poisoned to death, and my emotions were a little out of control. ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

One gentleman and one minister played Tai Chi, Zhao Che was still satisfied on the whole, and after saying a few more words, he let Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai leave.

The two left the pavilion, Sun Yuehai was about to let the palace people come in to pack up his things, and when he raised his eyes and saw that Zhao Che had a wound on his hand and saw blood, his expression changed greatly, and Zhao Che spoke before he shouted: "It's just a small injury, don't make a fuss." ”

Sun Yuehai knelt on the ground and said eagerly: "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, even if you have a small injury, you can't be careless, so the slave will let people go to the Tai Hospital to declare the Tai Doctor......

"I said there was no need to make a fuss." Zhao Che interrupted impatiently, Sun Yuehai immediately slammed his head on the ground, Zhao Che said with a calm face, "Let someone bring some gold sore medicine." ”

"Yes." Sun Yuehai should exit the pavilion.

Zhao Che took off the silk handkerchief in his hand, the silk handkerchief was originally white, and a little rabbit was embroidered on one corner, the person who embroidered the handkerchief was not skilled, the rabbit was embroidered crookedly, not at all as delicate and beautiful as the silk handkerchief used by those noble ladies in Beijing, ugly and cute.

Now that the silk handkerchief is stained with blood, the rabbit looks even less cute.

Zhao Che put the silk handkerchief on top of the stove where the wine was simmering, and under the influence of the heat of the stove, the silk handkerchief shook slightly.

Zhao Che let go, the handkerchief fell to the stove, and when he was about to touch the flames, Zhao Che grabbed the handkerchief again.

In the end, I still can't bear it.

Just ...... Remember.

Zhao Che took the handkerchief into his arms, restored the emperor's coldness, and walked out of the pavilion expressionlessly.

Gu Hengzhou directly carried Shen Bai to Nanchen Palace, his expression was cold, and there was a strong low pressure around his body, and all along the way, none of the palace people on the road dared to look at him directly.

After entering Nanchen Palace, Murong Xuan came out, and when he saw Shen Bai being carried back, he immediately glared at Gu Hengzhou and asked, "What happened?" The kite was fine just now, why was she brought back now? ”

Gu Hengzhou ignored him and carried Shen Bai back to the room directly, Murong Xuan followed up, smelled the smell of wine on Shen Bai's body, and reproached: "Iris'er is not in good health, she can't drink alcohol, why do you still give her wine?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't say a word, put Shen Bai on the bed, and helped her take off her shoes and cover the quilt.

When he did all this, his movements were very gentle, Murong Xuan was watching from the side, and the words behind him suddenly couldn't be spoken.

The room was a little quiet, Gu Hengzhou sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, "I don't know how much she drank, let someone send a bowl of sobering soup first." ”

"Oh."

Murong Xuan subconsciously responded, turned around and walked out of the room, only to react when he was blown by the cold wind, he is also the prince of a country, how can he be called by people at the moment?

The palace people quickly prepared the decanting soup and sent it, Murong Xuan still sent it into the room in person, Shen Bai slept soundly, and there was no sign of waking up at all, but Gu Hengzhou directly took the decanting soup.

Murong Xuan watched him help Shen Bai up with one hand, and he drank a sip of decanting soup first, and suddenly felt bad, so he stopped Gu Hengzhou and asked, "Do you want to feed her decanting soup mouth-to-mouth?" ”

Gu Hengzhou swallowed the soup in his mouth, looked at him confidently and asked, "Is it not me, is it you?" ”

Murong Xuan choked for a moment, stiffened his neck and said, "There is a difference between men and women, you can't be like this, this is playing hooligan!" ”

Gu Hengzhou said: "I will be responsible for her." ”

Murong Xuan's eyes widened, can he do whatever he wants if he wants to be responsible? He's still here, just don't treat him as an outsider?

Gu Hengzhou really didn't treat Murong Xuan as an outside, so he lowered his head and began to feed Shen Bai decanting soup.

His movements were slow, full of desire, Murong Xuan had never been so close to the girl, his face was red, and after a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed out of the room as if he was running away.

Gu Hengzhou was not affected at all, and fed the sobering soup to Shen Bai little by little.

After feeding, Shen Bai's entire lips became rosy, Gu Hengzhou's throat rolled up and down, and leaned over to sit down with this kiss.

Shen Bai was quickly tossed and woke up, but the drunkenness was not gone, she was still a little confused, snorted lightly, and pushed Gu Hengzhou dissatisfied.

Gu Hengzhou grabbed her hand, pressed it against her forehead, and asked in a dumb voice, "Look who I am?" ”

Shen Bai opened his eyes in confusion, and his face was too close to see his face clearly, but he heard his voice and whispered, "Brother Gu." ”

Gu Hengzhou was not satisfied with this answer, and bit her lightly and said, "Don't call me like this in the future, call me by my name." ”

"Why?" Shen Bai asked suspiciously, and was bitten again, so he could only say aggrievedly, "Gu Hengzhou." ”

Gu Hengzhou let her go.

With sleepiness, Shen Bai slept until the evening before waking up, sleeping for too long, his head was a little dizzy, and he sat on the bed for a long time before his consciousness slowly returned, and then he felt that his lips were hot and seemed to be a little swollen.

Shen Bai touched his lips and tried to recall what happened after he was drunk, but he couldn't remember anything.

The palace is heavily guarded, and no one should be able to break through such a tight guard to scare her, only ...... Zhao Che!?

Shen Bai was shocked by his own guess, and jumped up from the bed with a pout, just as he didn't know what to do, Murong Xuan came in from outside and counted Gu Hengzhou's hooligan behavior in the afternoon.

He originally wanted to discredit Gu Hengzhou and make Shen Bai wary of him, but he didn't expect Shen Bai to care at all, but instead breathed a heavy sigh of relief and looked happy.

Murong Xuan, as Shen Bai's mother's family, was very distressed, he had never seen such a person who hated to marry and was not reserved.

After dinner, Shen Bai didn't feel sleepy, and he talked to Murong Xuan without a match, and when it was almost time, Sun Yuehai sent a roll of cloth in a low-key manner.

Inside is the current list of Hanjing's major families, and the princes and counts are all among them, which is basically the same as those people that Zhao Che asked Shen Bai to clear in the previous life.

Shen Bai only glanced at the bottom of his heart.

These families are closely related, not as independent individuals, but as a close-knit community, whose interests are the same, and who can unite against the enemy when their interests are harmed.

Shen Po was not killed by a behind-the-scenes mastermind, but by this group of people.

The next day, the news of the death of the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion spread in the city.

Under Zhao Che's instructions, it was claimed that Shen Po died because of a congenital physical illness, not under the influence of external forces. 168 Books

Still in the first month, there are strange funerals at home, plus they are children, and the funerals are very low-key, and only when they are in the court, when they see Shen Ruxiu, these ministers will come up and say a few words of mourning.

But everyone is gone, and they can't mourn or be obedient.

The Sun family fell into a state of semi-madness because of Shen Po's death, and Shen Ruxiu added new injuries to his body every time he went to court, and many people were secretly watching his jokes.

What about the dignified prime minister, he can't keep his son, and even his wife can't be shocked, it's really pitiful and pathetic.

In this case, Shen Ruxiu soon fell ill, and after the tenth day of the first month, he took sick leave to recuperate at home, and Zhao Che gave him a lot of good tonics.

Shen Bai has been living in Nanchen Palace these days and has not left the palace, during which the Queen Mother summoned her once.

Shen Bai went alone, Ci'an Palace was similar to three years ago, but after the death of Emperor Hengde, the Queen Mother began to like to participate in Zen and worship Buddha, and there was more smell of incense in the palace.

The Queen Mother summoned Shen Bai and didn't have anything serious to say, only exchanged a few words, sighing how could there be two people who were so similar in this world.

The Queen Mother also knew the status of the Dongfang family in Nanxiangguo, and her attitude towards Shen Bai was quite polite, and she changed the law to find out how much wealth the Dongfang family had.

It's not a secret, Shen Bai didn't hide it, frankly speaking, the Dongfang family is rich and rivals the country, and the food and clothing are sometimes even more exquisite and luxurious than the royal family.

Moreover, there is a mountain in the Oriental Family, and the mountain is full of spice wood that is rare on the market, which is similar to a mountain of gold.

In the past three years, the Wei family has gradually recovered, and the Lu family has gradually declined, and the queen mother's food and clothing are not as generous as before.

In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, although there was something about the little master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Lantern Festival was still very grand.

After all, this is a happy day for the government and the people to enjoy together, and it must not be swayed by the joys and sorrows of one or two people.

The Lantern Festival is still held in the Yeting Palace.

According to the rules of the princess, the Internal Affairs Office made a set of lake-green silver silk neon skirts for Shen Bai, the clothes were both luxurious and fairy-like, and the palace people painted exquisite makeup for Shen Bai, pulled his hair in a bun, and Shen Bai went to the Pavilion with Murong Xuan early to wait.

Baiguan soon brought his family into the palace for the banquet, Shen Ruxiu was still recuperating at home and did not attend the banquet, but in order to get by on face, these people basically dressed plainly, and did not dress up too ostentatiously, Shen Bai looked very abrupt and out of place among these people.

However, she and Murong Xuan are not from Zhaoling, and they have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is okay to dress well.

This time, the male and female dependents sat separately, and before the banquet, Shen Bai and Murong Xuan separated and went to the women's area to sit.

Her current status is quite high, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office have arranged her and the position of the sixth princess Zhao Mingxi together.

Emperor Hengde has six princesses under his knees, Zhao Mingxi is the youngest one, among the many princesses, Zhao Mingxi is the most favored, and he has studied in Tai Academy like men.

When Emperor Hengde was alive, the four princesses were already married, and after Zhao Che ascended the throne, the five princesses had also recruited horses, and now only Zhao Mingxi was left in the royal family.

Zhao Mingxi is thirteen this year, she is tall at this age, her figure is slender, and her appearance is also beautiful, today she is wearing a goose yellow embroidered koi short jacket with a long skirt of the same color, looking lively and bright.

When Shen Bai walked over, she was talking to Gong E beside her, and she didn't pay attention to Shen Bai's meaning, Shen Bai sat down directly next to her, Zhao Mingxi finished talking to Gong E, turned his head to look at Shen Bai, frowned, and said, "Why don't you salute this princess?" ”

She was still a child, Shen Bai didn't care, and said, "Dongfang Kite Ling has seen the sixth princess." ”

Zhao Mingxi was not satisfied, but he couldn't find fault either, looking at Shen Bai's eyes was not very friendly, and muttered quietly after a while: "I don't even recognize my father and younger brother, it's really vicious." ”

It's a royal princess, and it's weird to talk about these rights and wrongs behind your back like everyone else.

Shen Bai turned his head to look at Zhao Mingxi, and asked with a smile, "Is the sixth princess talking to me?" ”

Zhao Mingxi didn't say anything to anyone in person, so he frowned and whispered: "Whoever is vicious about this princess will say whom." ”

This is a hint that Shen Bai is seated, Shen Bai hooked his lips and smiled even more happily, and echoed: "This Miss Shen is indeed very vicious, not to mention abandoning her family, not even such a good fiancé as Commander Gu, there is really something wrong with her brain." ”

Zhao Mingxi's eyes widened, he didn't expect Shen Bai to say this about himself, Shen Bai was calmer than her, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”

Shen Bai's expression was too natural, Zhao Mingxi was a little shaken, she approached Shen Bai and looked at it curiously for a while, then lowered her voice and asked, "Are you really not Shen Bai?" ”

In the end, he is still a child, and he asks it face to face when he has doubts in his heart.

Shen Bai nodded and said with a smile: "I am Dongfang Kite Ling, from Nanxiang, I call the five princes of Nanxiang Kingdom a fifth brother, how can a little Xiangfu concubine compare?" ”

Shen Bai's posture is very high, and the temperament that has been pampered in the past three years exudes a kind of innate nobility, and Zhao Mingxi is also a princess, and he immediately feels the breath of the same kind.

She became more and more puzzled, and Shen Bai took the opportunity to ask: "Who did the princess hear that I am Shen Bai?" ”

"That's what they say." Zhao Mingxi frowned and said, Shen Bai was not angry, and continued to ask, "Who are they?" I'm not familiar with Zhaoling, if someone has any misunderstanding about me, I have to explain it clearly, otherwise I will carry the black pot for others, and it will be too wrong. ”

Shen Bai made sense, Zhao Mingxi thought about it, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, since this is a misunderstanding, Princess Ben will help you explain." ”

After all, he studied in Tai Academy, Zhao Mingxi is very responsible as a princess, Shen Bai shook his head and said: "This is my own business, how can I bother the princess, it is better to do this, it just so happens that I don't have any friends in Zhaoling, can Her Royal Highness the princess take me with you these days, if I really marry Commander Gu, I can recognize someone in advance." ”

Shen Bai said boldly, Zhao Mingxi's face turned red all of a sudden, he looked at Shen Bai with wide eyes, and said, "The marriage between you and Commander Gu has not been decided yet, how dare you say such a thing, okay...... It's shameless. ”

"What's so shameless about this, isn't it Gu Datong who took the lead and asked to marry me in public?" Shen Bai asked rhetorically, and Zhao Mingxi was speechless to refute.

The Lantern Festival banquet began soon, and Shen Bai flattered Zhao Mingxi to peel a shrimp and put it in a bowl.

Zhao Mingxi bowed his head and thanked him, he had a good impression of Shen Bai, and he didn't think she was as vicious and hypocritical as others said.

In previous years, the Lantern Festival banquet was very grand, after all, this is the beginning of the new year, and those children of the family who failed to show their style at the Winter Laurel Festival will take advantage of the Lantern Festival to show their skills again.

But at this time, there was a new funeral in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhao Che didn't let people start to try anything.

However, there are still some people who are not willing, and in the middle of the banquet, Mrs. Lu looked at Shen Bai and said, "The Oriental girl is dressed so brightly today, but what program has been carefully prepared for Your Majesty?" ”

Lu Qingqing is already married, in addition to Lu Xiu, there is also a fourteen or fifteen little girl sitting next to Mrs. Lu, the girl is wearing a blue embroidered starry short jacket with a long skirt of the same color, sitting upright next to Mrs. Lu, not only has the noble and dignified spirit of a noble girl, but also lively and lovely between her eyebrows and eyes, and she is very smart.

This girl should also be a descendant of the Lu family, after Zhao Che ascended the throne for three years and has not yet been established, doesn't the Lu family still want to stuff people into the palace?

Shen Bai secretly pondered, and everyone turned their eyes to Shen Bai because of Mrs. Lu's words.

She is indeed dressed too eye-catching today, if it is not for the careful preparation of the show, it will inevitably be a bit grandiose.

But she is not a singer and dancer, wouldn't it be self-surrendering to go up to perform at this time?

Shen Bai was not in a hurry, took a sip of soup, and raised his voice: "In our Nanxiang, whether it is the royal family or ordinary people, we have to dress up to attend major festivals, I am dressed like this today, just to show respect for Zhaoling, and don't you have a special Si Le to prepare the show, why do you want me to perform?" ”

Shen Bai's retort was reasonable, and Mrs. Lu stared at her and asked, "Today, all of us are dressed plainly, try not to be too public, hasn't Miss Dongfang heard about what happened?" ”

"I've heard that." Shen Bai nodded, "Your prime minister's youngest son died." ”

Mrs. Lu waited for this sentence, and said with a little reproach: "The prime minister is our first important minister of Zhaoling, he has worked hard for Zhaoling for decades, and now he has lost his young son, everyone is sad for him, and it is not good for the Oriental girl to be so public." ”

"The person is already dead, no matter how much others do, it is just a formality, in vain, according to Madame, if you want to comfort the pain of the prime minister's loss of a child, this dinner should not be held today, right?"

Shen Bai's voice was neither high nor low, but everyone had stopped to watch the play, and these words could naturally be heard by Zhao Che.

Mrs. Lu didn't expect Shen Bai to be so sharp-toothed, and she didn't dare to respond for a while, Shen Bai was not afraid at all, and continued: "Madame also said that the prime minister is the minister of Zhaoling's humerus, and Your Majesty knows that the prime minister has lost his young son, but at this time, he wantonly organizes a banquet and drinks and has fun, won't it chill the hearts of loyal ministers?" ”

This sounded a little disrespectful, Mrs. Lu's face turned pale, and she scolded loudly: "Nonsense! The courtiers have no such thoughts, Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, wise and wise, is a rare Ming monarch, and will surely be recorded in the annals of history forever, forever! ”

Mrs. Lu was so frightened that she slapped her ass, and Shen Bai was not too aggressive, so she nodded and agreed: "I also feel the same way as Madame, Your Majesty is so virtuous, he must be broad-minded, and he will not embarrass me as a weak woman because of a piece of clothing." ”

Zhao Che is broad-minded, and Mrs. Lu is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that her body trembled, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only swallow it raw.

Zhao Mingxi watched the whole process on the side, and had a new understanding of Shen Bai's eloquence, and whispered: "You are so powerful, you can even speak of Mrs. Lu." ”

These ladies of the family are the most able to take advantage of the topic, and Rao is Zhao Mingxi, the princess, is also one head and two big when she meets them.

Shen Bai smiled and peeled the shrimp, leaned into Zhao Mingxi's ear and said: "Words are the sharpest but most incompetent weapon in the world, as long as you are strong enough in your heart, you can use the enemy's weapon to make the enemy kneel and beg for mercy." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai saw the girl who had been sitting next to Mrs. Lu get up and leave the table.

At this time, it was a bit abnormal to leave the table suddenly, Shen Bai put the peeled shrimp into Zhao Mingxi's bowl, and said softly: "Eat slowly, princess, I'll wash my hands." ”

Shen Bai asked Gong E to take her to Gongfang, walked out of the Yeting Palace, and the noise of pushing cups and changing lamps was quickly locked by the palace door, and it was very quiet outside, and there were even two points of coldness.

After Shen Bai came out, he didn't see the girl all the way to Gongfang, and he was puzzled, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

It's the Praetorian Guard!
