"Knock-" "Knock-" "Knock-"

The sound of the Yellow Bell ringing spread throughout Ezhou City, and the bell of Qingyue symbolized the beginning of the Great Rite Law Oath. After the end of the oath of the Great Rite Law Alliance, the same melodious sound was ninety-nine eighty-one, to show that the alliance of monarchs and ministers was heard by heaven. As the bell rang, all the people in the city stopped to listen, and then, on the city of Ezhou, on the warships on the river, and even at the head of Hanyang City on the opposite bank, drums, horns and cannons rang out in unison, discussing the great gift of the imperial court. In the streets and alleys, regardless of the gentry and the common people, everyone looks excited, many people clap their foreheads to celebrate, and even set off firecrackers, and the melodious bells seem to herald the beginning of a new era.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Wuchang, Zhao Xingde sat alone in the courtyard, listening to the bell ringing one by one, he looked up at the clouds in the sky flowing one by one, time seemed to be frozen at this moment, and seemed to be unconsciously, with the flowing clouds flying by. His expression was calm, but in the eyes of Liu Wengu, who was standing, the back of his teacher sitting alone was gloomy and lonely. People who are famous all over the world, right and wrong, are qualified, but they are not qualified, to participate in this world-renowned ceremony.

The servants went nowhere, and there were only two masters and apprentices in the courtyard, and they seemed extremely lonely. At this time, a report came from outside, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came to visit Zhao Hou, Liu Wengu's face was surprised, he glanced at his teacher, and saw that Zhao Xingde did not say anything, so he went to the front hall to greet him. It is rumored in the court that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is interested in Zhao Xingde, and Liu Wengu is just a rumor. The princess of this dynasty is not as publicized as in the Tang Dynasty, and this rumor must be spread by someone with a heart. However, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess condescended to the door, but it seemed to confirm the rumors. Zhao Huan's beauty was beyond Liu Wengu's imagination, he didn't dare to look at it more, after saluting, he bowed his head and took the princess to the courtyard, and then stood far away, not daring to eavesdrop on the conversation between the teacher and Her Royal Highness the princess. I don't know if it's the young man's blood or curiosity, but my heart is churning.

A slender figure stood behind him, and after a long time, Zhao Xingde sighed and said in a low voice: "Since the beginning of this dynasty, no princess and fan, everyone in the world agrees with it. The affairs of the family and the country should be the responsibility of the man, and the woman ......" seemed to feel a cold gaze staring at him, Zhao Xingde hesitated slightly, and sighed, "The Xingde family has a good wife, and His Royal Highness should have a good fate, why should he be involved in the political dispute between the DPRK and China, and he suffers like this." If the world needs to sacrifice a woman to save it, the world should be over! ”

"I," Zhao Huan's pink neck was slightly red, and he lowered his head and whispered, "I, I already knew about you, in Bianliang ......"

Her body trembled slightly, and her mouth was astringent, salty. It was only at this time that Zhao Huan really heard his voice. Low, reproachful, with a hint of tenderness. More than ten years ago, Zhao Huan was just a little girl, if it weren't for that portrait, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to remember what Zhao Xingde looked like. There are many things that are difficult to understand without experiencing them personally. With an unrealistic fantasy, Zhao Huan survived the most difficult years and staggered in front of him. The corners of her eyes were slightly moist, I don't know whether she was excited or aggrieved, her lips pursed slightly, and she looked like she wanted to cry.

Zhao Xingde stood up with an embarrassed expression. He has never encountered this kind of thing, Li Ruoxue is reasonable, and Han Ningshuang is even more unavoidable. Seeing Zhao Huan biting his lip, Qiong's nose shrugged slightly, and Chu Chu looked pitiful, as if he had been bullied by someone, Zhao Xingde looked left and right with a weak heart. Liu Wengu hurriedly lowered his head, at a loss, as if he was carefully looking at the ants on the ground. There was no one left and right, and Zhao Xingde glared at him fiercely.

"Your Highness, what are you?" Zhao Xingde took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, hesitated for a moment, and handed it out, "Wipe it." ”

Zhao Huan took the veil aggrievedly. Zhao Xingde frowned, a little confused, what is this? I really owe her. Only then did he notice that the princess's appearance was a little familiar, but she had a faint plum blossom makeup painted on her face, and she couldn't see it clearly. The long black hair is tied into a fallen horse bun, revealing a slender neck, the skin is delicate like congealed cream, a palace dress with light green and white flowers, a ribbon will be a bundle of slender waists, and the skirt of the smoke gauze is dragged on the ground, unable to hide the slender and moving figure. Zhao Xingde said secretly: "Strange, why is it familiar?" He didn't like to keep staring at people, and looked away with some embarrassment. Zhao Huan wiped his tears, did not return the handkerchief, but put it away himself.

"I already knew about you." Zhao Huan raised her head and looked at Zhao Xingde, her long eyelashes trembled, she bit her lip, and plucked up the courage to say it again, "I already knew about you, no, it wasn't the imperial brother who forced the marriage." She said "knowing", not "knowing", because there is no such thing as "knowing" between her and Zhao Xingde.

That hazy feeling was locked in her heart, like a drop of ink on white paper, as the water flowed, the ink gradually faded, but it faded away, becoming more eye-catching. Zhao Huan prayed for his safety, and even prayed for him and his wife's family to be reunited, but he never expected himself to be with him. But she dimly knew that when he was closest to her, if he didn't try to catch him, he would be gone again. Now, he was standing in front of him.

Zhao Huan's hands became cold because of nervousness, her delicate body trembled a little, the etiquette in the palace is not child's play, she has to say her heart in person in front of her sweetheart, Zhao Huan is worried that she will run away immediately, and she will never dare to meet him again. I have been hiding my heart for a long time, as if the flower buds are about to bloom, and this moment I released a fragrant fragrance, and I first intoxicated myself. Zhao Huan lowered his head, and the clogs scratched shallow traces of the damp soil.

Zhao Xingde was a little stunned. He is a person from the past, and this kind of state is very familiar. Although he didn't know the antecedents, he realized something in his heart, but Zhao Xingde felt a trace of guilt, and said carefully: "Zhao already has a family, and he is favored by His Royal Highness, but his fortune is shallow, and he can't repay it." He looked up and looked around, there was no one left and right, not even Liu Wengu didn't know where to retreat. He was a little determined in his heart, hoping that there would be no gossip and tarnishing the name of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"I know," Zhao Huan's cheeks showed two flushes, and she looked up at Zhao Xingde, "My father has a queen, and I also have my mother." Mrs. Li is your wife, and I will be humble and not compete with her for favor. "Her eyes are wide open," General Liu Guangshi said a month ago, asking for an order for his other wife, Brother Huang...... The court agreed. Her voice was as thin as a gnat.

"That's also a concubine's room," Zhao Xingde sighed and looked at Zhao Huan, "Zhao already has a wife's room, and according to the laws of the imperial court, he can't marry a wife again, at most he can only take a concubine." My princess of the Great Song Dynasty, how can she be a concubine? When he said this, he seemed to look at his back with a cold gaze, he sighed, and said in a low voice, "Brother Damu has a saying, those who eat and drink, Tianli also, the delicacies of the mountains and seas and say that those who have nowhere to eat are human desires." Men and women are married to heaven, and those with wives and concubines are also desired. Those who are self-disciplined should keep heavenly principles and refrain from human desires. Speaking of this, Zhao Xingde sighed, "Zhao doesn't dare to be called a gentleman, and he doesn't dare to delay a woman's life with his own desires." ”

"Well, but," Zhao Huan heard the resolute meaning in his words, tears rolling in his eyes, "but...... I...... I ......"

"When rain and dew moisten the earth, it cannot fill a pool like a spring. Every woman must have another person to take care of and protect her. Don't be like a moth to a fire, entrusting your heart to someone who is lucky. Zhao Xingde thought of another woman, the guilt in his heart was even worse, his tone became more gentle, and he looked at Zhao Huan with some pity, "Your Highness's favor may not be Zhao Mou, but a kind of affection." The loneliness of the deep palace is a painting, accompanied by the morning and twilight, and it also gives birth to a sense of affection. This affection is like a gorgeous dress, just draped on Zhao's body. His Royal Highness regards Zhao as a close person, and Zhao feels guilty, but he can't fake this trip to burn the piano and cook the crane, in vain to order the pearl to secretly vote, and mislead people for life. Don't doubt it, Your Highness, there is a better person ahead, you can keep this garment well, and in the future you can also drape it on a man who can really pay his loyalty and protect His Highness forever. ”

Zhao Huan lowered his head, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he desperately held back tears. After Zhao Xingde finished speaking, she waited for a long time before she raised her head, forced a smile, and said angrily: "I don't understand what you say." Zhao Xingde sighed, how could he not see it, he also fell silent, some things, talking too much, is too much.

After a while, Zhao Huan took a deep breath, as if he had buried his feelings in his heart again. When she raised her head again, she met the concerned gaze on the other side and whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Zhao Xingde smiled and waved his hand: "What thank you for, haven't you known me for a long time?" Zhao Huan nodded, his eyes regained their brightness, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have known Mr. more than ten years ago, and I have always wanted Mr. Zhao to accompany me out of the palace to play." She blinked her eyes and said with a light smile: "Mr. Zhao, do you want the little girl to accompany you out to breathe, but you want to do it?" Her pretty face flushed, as if she had applied a faint rouge.

Zhao Xingde has been under house arrest for a long time, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for it." He sighed again and shook his head, "But is that possible?" His eyes fell on the courtyard wall, and although he couldn't see it, there must have been guards everywhere. Zhao Huan followed his gaze, revealing a sudden look, his expression was slightly gloomy, and his heart was full of sympathy.

"Brother Huang and Chen Xiang both know," she took a step closer and whispered, "I will come to visit Mr. again." Maybe......" she blinked a little slyly, then turned and hurried away. Zhao Xingde watched her back disappear behind the red walls and green tiles shaded by flowers and trees, and paced back to the place where Shicai sat in a daze. Zhao Xingde shook his head, let go of his worries, picked up a strong bow, and shot at the target in the courtyard, arrow by arrow.
