Chu Changting has always had a secret buried in his heart for a long time, that is, the young man in white who caught a glimpse of her younger brother at the 100-day banquet.

On that day, my younger brother had a 100-day banquet, my father made a great contribution again, and the Chu Mansion celebrated with colorful lights, and I heard that there was an important person in the palace who could not be neglected, and the entire Chu Mansion was even more busy, and it was a mess, and no one cared about what Chu Changting was doing every day like a little fox.

Chu Changting only knew that the first time he saw it was a cold day, the world was white and boundless, and the only thing he saw was that the heaven and the earth were moved, the mountains and rivers were discolored, the sun shone on the earth instantly, and Kyushu was warm.

Chu Changting, who was eight years old at the time, didn't know about love, but he could sense the fierce attack of the complex emotions of joy, surprise, humility, shame, and cowardice.

At that time, the young man had handsome eyebrows and eyes, but he rarely smiled. Chu Changting only felt that there were thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his cold eyes, and the spring flowers were blooming.

When the boy looked at her, he suddenly smiled shallowly. He walked around the gazebo, through the corridor, his thin body facing the cold wind, stepping on the mountains and seas, and walking towards her step by step.

"Girl, what's your name?"

Later, Chu Changting often had a "private meeting" with him in the back mountain. The teenager always brings her favorite rock sugar gourd. Chu Changting found that the rock sugar gourd he brought was always different from the taste she had eaten in the market, the hawthorn was of moderate size, the sand was soft, sweet and sour, sweet and sour, and the aftertaste was endless when it entered the throat.

The boy always called her Xiao Nizi, Chu Changting was dissatisfied with this title, and always felt that he was called small and stupid, and after the struggle was ineffective, he also began to call the boy "Bing Mutou" to save his little face.

The young man once said to Chu Changting that only she could make him happy.

When Chu Changting was twelve years old, the boy never came again.

She has been warned by her father since she was a child that her status is noble, different from ordinary people, and she will marry into a prominent family like princes and nobles in the future, and she must be cautious in her words and deeds since she was a child, practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be proficient in poetry and songs, so as to add glory to the Chu family.

But Chu Changting was born wild and didn't want to be restrained. On the surface, he obediently learns all kinds of etiquette and calligraphy, but secretly he always runs to the field to play wildly. For these things, Chu Minghong, who is very fond of Chu Changting, just turns a blind eye, as long as there is no big mistake, she will go.

But although Chu Changting was young, she knew that she didn't want to marry into any princely family, she just wanted to find someone she loved to stay with for life.

She clearly knew that she wanted to stay with the young man in white for the rest of her life.

Three years later, Chu Changting and Lu. She knew that her father had been looking for a good family for her, but she never cared about it, and only thought about the young man when she was young.

It's just that she never knew that the young man in white was Yi Lunhuan, the current emperor. And she is also the deepest secret buried in Yi Lunhuan's heart, the softest and inviolable place in his heart.

Two hours before Shen Liangchen's celebration banquet began, Yi Lunhuan suddenly fidgeted, he beckoned Mei Rong to come over, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is everything ready?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured." Mei Rong bowed, and there was no expression on her delicate face, "The slaves and maids have all settled down." ”

"Hmm." Yi Lunhuan took a light breath, he had never been as nervous as he was today, and a trace of sweat broke out in his palms.

Seven years, seven whole years. He finally waited for Chu Changting and Lu, and finally arranged for her to dance in the main hall with all his might, and finally had the opportunity to hold hands with her for the rest of his life.

He thought that today's harem, which he had been vacant for three years, would finally be no longer cold.

He thought that he could finally let the little girl he thought about day and night be by his side forever.

Until Shen Liangchen smiled and begged him to give him a marriage.

Yi Lunhuan smiled on the surface, but the haze in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

You are really shrewd, you have just made great achievements, and I can't refute you in this situation.

Shen Liangchen! Why do you keep arguing with me?

I can tolerate everything else, but I won't give an inch to Jiangshan and her.

If you want her, I will pay for it with your life.

If she allows you, I will rob you with all my might.

If she doesn't comply, I'll lock her away and never leave her.

I want you to taste the pain of asking for but not being loved, and I want you to spend your days in the torment of longing.

Because you are my best friend, my most trusted courtier.

Therefore, the pain you have brought to me, I will have to pay back a thousandfold and a hundred times more.

Because I am the king, the robbers of the things will be stripped of their bones and cramped, and they will never recover.

On the second day after the celebration banquet ended, Chu Changting packed up early in the morning and went to find Chu Minghong, seeing Chu Minghong, who had returned from retreating, sitting in the main hall frowning and sipping tea, Chu Changting swallowed his throat, moved to Chu Minghong's side like a cat, and then grinned and said, "Father, it's hard work!" ”

Chu Minghong glanced at Chu Changting lightly, his eyebrows were slightly relaxed, and he coughed lightly and said, "What are the flowers?" ”

Chu Changting's heart was empty, and he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself about the trouble he had caused, should he have to solve it with his father.

"Father, I... I don't want to marry that Shen Liangchen......" Chu Changting lowered his head and muttered.

Chu Minghong's brows suddenly twisted together, and he hurriedly put the tea on the table, the tea overflowed, Chu Changting trembled in his heart, it's over, is it really scared of his father...?

"How old are you and still playing with children's tempers!" Chu Minghong shouted loudly, and suddenly felt reluctant again, and his voice immediately slowed down, "Changting, you are older, you should also understand something." The marriage was personally pointed out by the emperor, if you don't get married, you are disrespectful and will be killed. Besides, didn't you agree to it in the main hall yesterday, why did you change so quickly, you stinky girl......"

"But ......" Before Chu Changting's words fell, he heard the voice of a maid outside the lobby - "Master, General Shen's mansion has sent a dowry gift!" ”

Chu Minghong glanced at Chu Changting lightly, then waved his hand and said, "Let them in." Then he got up and walked out, and when he reached the door of the hall, he suddenly stopped and said, "Since the emperor is the emperor's marriage, there is no need for those cumbersome etiquette." I have discussed with General Shen that as long as the auspicious date has been set, everything will be done as soon as possible. ”

"What?" Chu Changting's apricot eyes widened, and his angry little face flushed, "When did it be discussed?!" ”

"Stand back today." Chu Minghong looked at the big red dowry gifts that were sent to the hall one after another, and the worry in his eyes flashed.

"How can it be!" Chu Changting came up, slammed the teacup to the ground, with tears in his eyes, watching the gift boxes being opened one by one, and the gold, jewelry, and satin bloomed in clusters like blooming flowers, as if implying the consummation of a lifetime.

"Miss, this is what the general specially instructed me to bring to you." Shen Liangchen's maidservant Mei Makeup took out a gold silk inlaid jade bead splendid exquisite treasure box, and opened it with a light buckle, and a carved luminous bracelet inside showed delicate pink cheeks like a bride who lifted the hijab.

"This is an heirloom of the Shen family, only for the previous brides of the Shen family. The general has important business to deal with today, so he can only ask the slave maid to send it to the young lady personally. Mei Makeup smiled tactfully, her slender eyes were sparkling and slightly rippling, which was breathtaking, but it was cold and did not have a trace of smile.

Chu Changting was stunned, this maid didn't seem to be simple.

"I don't want it!" Chu Changting came to his senses, his eyebrows frowned, and he reached out and knocked over the box, and the bracelet fell like a leaf from a branch.

Chu Changting was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, as if he knew that he had made a big mistake.

Mei makeup raised her eyebrows, stretched out her foot to catch the bracelet steadily, and then raised it upward, and the bracelet landed firmly in the box.

"Even if you don't like it, don't be angry with this bracelet. This bracelet is the only one in the Hongmeng Continent, and the Shen family has been passed down from generation to generation, but there can be no mistakes at all. With that, he closed the box lightly, handed it to the person next to him, and smiled lightly, like a stream.

Chu Changting stared at Mei Xiang's feet and shook his head, and after a moment of speechlessness, he threw off his sleeves and left angrily.

This Miss Chu family has a really big temper. Mei Xiang looked at Chu Changting's back, her slender eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly there was a murderous aura, but as if she was trying her best to contain it, it didn't take long for it to gradually subside. After settling down with the bride price, she owed a debt to Chu Minghong and left, and her figure was like a lonely crane.

Chu Changting returned to his room, and the vitality that had been held up all morning was suddenly drained, and she sat on the chair with her legs limp and slumped, looking at the white porcelain teacup on the table in a daze.

As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of Yi Lunwan's expressionless face and cold eyes in the main hall yesterday, when she danced the koi tune she was best at, and with a flick of her long water sleeves, she saw his face. Chu Changting almost fell, but fortunately, she woke up in time and did not show her feet, and she finished the dance with her spirit.

When she opened her eyes, the sky was dark and everything was cold.

It turned out that the young man when he was a child was actually the emperor of the Ninety-Five, the emperor who held mountains and rivers.

Ice Wood ......

But why didn't he recognize her, why was his eyebrows full of ruthlessness and coldness, and he gave her to Shen Liangchen with a wave of his big hand.

I hate it...... Chu Changting clenched the corners of his clothes, tears appeared in his eyes, and a trace of stubborn ruthlessness swept through his eyes.

Well, since you treat me like this, then I must also be like you, be a person who is determined to break off love, and cut off this shameful crush.

Just pretend, just pretend that I'm the same as you, and never take this friendship to heart......

At this time, in the Qiankun Palace, Yi Lunhuan carefully described a pair of danqing, suddenly had a salty throat, and began to cough violently, he took out a piece of silk cloth and lightly covered his mouth and nose, and his thin body shook with the ups and downs of his chest.

Mei Rong served him a cup of throat-moistening mountain gardenia tea with some concern, looked at the bloody silk cloth in Yi Lunhuan's hand, and stopped talking.

Yi Lunhuan threw the silk cloth aside disdainfully, took another sip of tea in the cup, then put the pen in his hand aside, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, with an unfathomable yin owl in his eyes.

"Pass the order." He opened his mouth slightly, and there was no warmth in his words, "The happy event of Shen Liangchen and the daughter of the Chu Mansion is scheduled for November twenty-eighth"

Mei Rong was a little puzzled, but she still bowed her head and agreed, turned around and hurriedly went to speak.

Yi Lunwan pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and a hint of a smile suddenly appeared in his narrow eyes, he closed his eyes and sighed lightly.

"Bad fate."
