The next afternoon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Taiji Palace, above the jade steps.

Qinghe looked at Li Zhi, who was holding a pen in his hand, hanging in the air, and was already stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but whisper: "Lord...... Lord! ”

Li Zhi came back to his senses in a trance and turned his head to look at him: "What's the matter?" ”

"That...... ......"Qinghe looked at him carefully, and motioned for him to look at the pen.

A large drop of vermilion ink had already smeared a small half of the paper, and by the way, the sleeve of his shirt that had fallen on the paper was stained with a blood-colored ink stain.

Li Zhi frowned, hurriedly put down the pen and passed the towel, and wanted to wipe the Zhu Mo, but because the ink had been put into the paper, it was difficult to suck it up again, so he had to frown again, looked at Song Shu and shook his head and said: "Go and get a return table, write a few sentences for me, and send it back to Dali Temple with this sparseness, so that they don't have to care, just take the spare sheet and read it again." ”

Qinghe nodded and responded.

Li Zhi saw that he was busy, and his heart was disturbed for a while, so he got up and paused slightly, strode down the stairs with his conceited hands, came to the front of the hall, and looked at the heavy snow outside. There was a coldness in his eyes.

Blinking slightly, he suddenly sighed, shook his head, and turned to look at Qinghe, who was passing the clean robe to replace him: "Don't take this, bring a thick coat, and I will go to the back garden...... Walk around. ”

Qinghe was stunned: "But Lord, the weather is cold, the snow is slippery, if the walkers fall on the Lord......"

"You don't have to get up. I'm just walking. Li Zhi said lightly.

Qinghe was stunned again: "Then how can it be done?" The Lord ...... up"

Li Zhi didn't listen again, but walked towards the door of the hall by himself. Qinghe had no choice but to rush to the apse to get a coat, put it on with him, and then follow the order: "Get off!" ”

……

After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, I came to the small garden of His Royal Highness Yanjia.

All the way, all the way stop, all the way to see.

Li Zhi's eyes, I don't know if they reflected the dead branches and leaves in the garden that were pressed by the snow, but they were dyed with a layer of sadness. Seeing this, Qinghe couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

Between the blank heaven and the earth, he suddenly stopped, and he only felt that there seemed to be thousands of dark clouds rolling in his heart, and he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit.

I closed my eyes and wanted to breathe, but my chest was even more disgusted.

At this moment, all of a sudden, Qinghe screamed, and at the same time, a hard and cold thing smashed into his chest. It's just that the force is too small, so it shatters immediately.

He was taken aback and almost angry, so he immediately opened his eyes, but in the next moment, he could only look at Li Hong, who was dressed in a fire fox silver quill fur, black hair, white skin and red lips, and a hair carved out like a mold like his own childhood, holding another surprisingly large snowball in his arms, laughing at himself. And standing beside him was only with Ryan and Minghe by his side, wearing the same firefox silverquill fur, and also holding another snowball in his hand and looking at his Mei Niang with some surprise.

He was stunned, lowered his head to look at the snow slag on his body, and then looked up at Li Hong, who was smiling happily, and even threw away the snowball in his hand, and then looked at Mei Niang, who also reacted on the side, pursed her lips and smiled, and her eyes suddenly warmed up.

Laughing slowly, he waved his hand to stop Qinghe, who wanted to come forward to pat off the snow slag for him, and he bent down, gathered a large ball of snow in his hand, pinched it solidly, and suddenly stood up, lunged and raised his hand, and threw it towards Li Hong.

This ball came suddenly, and it was very hard, so naturally Li Hong couldn't dodge. Fortunately, Li Zhi's strength was extremely good, and he didn't hurt the child.

It's just that it was smashed, Li Hong naturally couldn't be willing, the child's temperament, and Li Zhi and his wife didn't like to teach him these things since they were young, so where did they want to get any gifts from the monarch and ministers? I only knew that my yes actually took this big snowball to "bully" himself, and he just happened to smash the one he was wearing around his neck, and his mother personally strung the new neck lock for himself, so he naturally deflated, and screamed and refused to follow, and immediately grabbed a ball of snow and changed it back and forth in his little hand twice, and then raised his hands above his head, and his little face didn't know whether it was frozen or suffocated and threw it over.

Although the child was young, he tried his best this time, and Li Zhi intended to make the child happy, so naturally he didn't let it, and a ball of snow the size of a child's fist was smashing on the arm that he raised to block with a slight gesture. Immediately fell to pieces.

Li Hong saw that he hit the ball so hard, but it just smashed his father's sleeve, and his father was still smiling and shaking his head at himself, of course, he was even more unhappy, wah-la-la-yelled and jumped after jumping his feet, and saw Li Zhi making a gesture and going to Tuanxue, naturally he hurriedly pulled his mother's hands, and the poor ink pupils had tears in his big eyes, and his small mouth was flat and begged for help, but unfortunately Mei Niang was pregnant at this time, and shook her head with a smile and couldn't help him, but called Ryan and Minghe to come forward and help him. But he took a few steps back, and sat down around the stove in the pavilion with a snowy curtain not far away, and watched the battle by himself.

Seeing this, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes like a mold with his son, and beckoned, and immediately Qinghe and another attendant also stepped forward to help.

So, an inexplicable and sudden snowball fight broke out in this ice and snow.

For a while, the broken jade splashed everywhere, and the silver beads flashed wildly. I saw that in the middle of the sky, on and under the bridge, there were clumps of snow slag everywhere.

Li Zhi and Li Hong's father and son were certainly happy, but Mei Niang was also happy to see it, and the corners of her lips were lightly hooked, and a smile appeared. In his eyes, he also returned to his former calm.

……

It's night.

In the Imperial Palace.

The night was dark, and the dormitory was quiet, leaving only a red candle, reflecting the faces of Li Zhimei and Mei Niang.

Listening to the sound of wind and snow outside the hall, Li Zhi suddenly laughed faintly: "Hong'er, this stupid boy, really wants to compare with him!" ”

Mei Niang smiled faintly, snuggled into his arms again, and said lightly: "Who asked you to provoke him first?" You don't know the child's sex, it's up to you. It looks like it's indispensable, but if you decide something, your heart will easily go to the bottom. ”

Li Zhi was silent, looked at her face, and said lightly: "I thought you would say that among these children, the most like me is not Hong'er, but ......"

He glanced at Mei Niang again and said softly, "Zhong'er." ”

Mei Niang was silent for a while before she said: "It's all Jiro's blood and bones, which one is not like it?" It is only one of the genus of human beings, but it is born of parents, and it has its own place to inherit its parents, but it may not be all the appearance and nature of parents. Not to mention the two children of Sujie Shangjin, they are gradually going the wrong way, that is, filial piety, why is it not like Jiro?

It's just that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons are different.

Besides, there is another example of Mei Niang in front of me......"

She raised her eyes, looked at Li Zhi, and showed an intoxicating smile: "Mei Niang's temperament is like this, but my mother's temperament is like that." Jiro also thinks like outsiders that Mei Niang will also be like Mei Niang's mother......"

"I've never thought that way." Li Zhi categorically intercepted her words.

Mei Niang smiled faintly and said lightly: "Yes, Mei Niang has never thought like this." Whatever is for you and for you. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a while, and after a while, his eyes showed deep warmth, he reached out and stroked her head, and took a belt into his arms, and then said slowly: "If you have a wife like you, what more can you ask for?" ”

Mei Niang smiled gracefully, only in his arms, and stopped saying half a sentence. The husband and wife were so silent, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

It's just that in the end, Li Zhi still has depression in his heart. He knew this, Mei Niang knew better, so he said softly: "Yesterday, Mei Niang saw Uncle Yuan. ”

Li Zhi had already closed his eyes slightly, and when he heard Mei Niang's words, he opened his eyes again, looked at her and said with a little surprise: "Uncle Yuan? ”

Looking at his eyes, Mei Niang nodded and said, "Uncle Yuan." ”

Li Zhi was silent for a while before he said lightly: "That...... What did my uncle say? ”

Mei Niang thought about it for a while, but said slowly: "He only said one important thing. ”

Li Zhi was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Mei Niang said leisurely: "His old man told Mei Niang that his name is the eldest grandson Wuji, and the word is the auxiliary machine, and the only person he owes in his life is the life and death brother of the Li family, and his biological sister. So...... If it is a hundred years later, no matter what, I will ask Jiro for the gift and give him the opportunity to bury the two saints with him. He ......"

She hesitated slightly, and finally looked at Li Zhi and said: "He fought for his brother in this life, discarded his reputation, and had no complaints; In the next life, I am still willing to guard the side of my brothers and sisters, and protect the two of them from the beginning to the end without regrets. ”

Li Zhi's eyes condensed slightly.

After a few moments, he suddenly pressed her tightly into his arms, buried his whole face in the socket of her neck, and whispered, but clearly, "He...... It's all there. ”

"Hmm."

“…… So he came to take the initiative to speak up and asked me to abolish Zhong'er......"

"Only in this way, only when Jiro's uncle who is the most careful to guard against it speaks, Jiro will calm his anger towards Zhong'er for a while, and he will leave more or less room with this child. He is using Jiro's suspicion of his own body to appease Jiro's anger towards Zhong'er. ”

“…… Whether he's or you, they're all afraid that if I get angry for a while, I won't be able to control it, and I'll kill Zhong'er, this kid, right? ”

"Because this time, what this kid did must have broken Jiro's heart...... But then again, this kid is not bad, it's just that he has been provoked by those people to the heart, so he wants to fight back. Jiro should understand. Therefore, it was only a herald to ban the East Palace, but it never took the honor of his crown. ”

"But...... Those people were able to provoke him because I was really at fault in the first place, wasn't I? ”

Mei Niang paused, feeling the tears in his neck, and said softly after a while: "If Jiro thinks like this, no one can stop him." But if Jiro could turn his mind away and think about what happened back then, when he was ...... Bento knew that Jiro back then, no matter what, would inevitably go down that path. Non-Zhilang is unkind, Non-Zhilang is unjust, Non-Zhilang is ruthless, and Feijiro is unintentional......

It's just that moment, that kind of way, you only have this way to go. It has nothing to do with whether you are kind or not. You don't have a choice. This is the case in the sky, and the heart is like this. ”

"But I can't live up to their mother and son."

"Jiro, you have lived in the palace for a long time, or you don't understand, but in my opinion, Yun Ruo's path, with her life experience, her state of mind, and her temperament, although Jiro is indeed against her, but this is also an inevitable catastrophe for her."

Mei Niang gently straightened Li Zhi's head, looked at Li Zhi with a sad face, and said: "Father Liu, as a key member of the Wupin region, according to the appearance of his eldest daughter, she will inevitably be included in the official register, and sooner or later she will be handed over for selection." With such a temperament and such a talented appearance, she is destined to be disgusted or even hit by those nobles who are higher in status than her, but have many inferior appearances and talents.

Therefore, if the first emperor did not choose her at that time, he would send her to Jiro and become a concubine of the East Palace; Then sooner or later, she will also be selected by other princes, or His Royal Highnesses, to be a concubine.

At that time, the princes and princes all had their own wives. And the family backgrounds of the wives are extremely noble, and several of them are also very talented, good-looking, and very good-natured. In this case, if Yun Ruo marries into the palaces, he is afraid that in addition to being left out and living alone, he may only be jealous and hateful because of his heart and appearance, and he will be bullied and even depressed for a lifetime.

If she is more unlucky, after being selected into the palace, she can only become a maid to fill the first emperor and the second court, then with the personality of the first emperor and the means of those women in the first emperor and then the court, she must have only one way to die, that is, she is lucky, and she can only be unlucky and unfavored, and she will be lonely and miserable in the court. ”

Mei Niang sighed softly, full of sympathy: "So, for her, being able to serve Jiro can get a period of love and hatred to enrich the loneliness of the court over the years, and the birth of Zhong'er as a consolation...... Despite his death, he never wasted his life. Such a mood ......"

She didn't say any more, but Li Zhi hugged her tightly.

Yes, she understands. She understands this feeling better than anyone else......

Because she'...... How could it not be another Liu Yunruo back then? So she always takes extra care of the mother and son, not only to do more of her father's responsibilities for herself, but also to ......

Because she is with her, with the same sickness.

At a long time, he sighed softly, "Yes...... You know. ”

was silent for a moment, but Mei Niang said lightly: "Yes...... But I understand, I'm afraid that it's not just Mei Niang, I'm afraid that Uncle Yuan also understands. That's why he came to the rescue. And Uncle Yuan understands more than just Yun Ruo. And also...... They are brothers. ”

Li Zhi was stunned, and immediately stared at her eyes and said, "Uncle...... Got it? ”

Mei Niang nodded and said softly: "He...... It is a belief in fate and cause and effect, so he knows it and will not want to do it. After all......"

She lowered her eyes and said lightly: "After all, for Uncle Yuan...... Whether it is the hidden prince or the built, these words are not just a paper envelope, or a name is as thin as a name. He had seen him, had grown up with him, had called him brother, had been cared for by him......

For us, we can be ruthless without cause. But Uncle Yuan...... How could such a person who could spend his life and his name for the first emperor for a little brotherhood, how could he have no affection for the first emperor's own brother?

Since there is really a fate to be together for a lifetime, how can this fate be easily erased? For the sake of brotherhood, he erased the life of another brother he knew......

How could such a thing be easily erased from his memory?

In Mei Niang's opinion, I'm afraid that what he knows is earlier than we thought. And the reason why I haven't said it all the time...... Probably because of ......"

Mei Niang looked at Li Zhi with a slight pity in her eyes: "Because in his opinion, such an arrangement is the ending he is most happy to see." The only thing he owes to Prince Yin can be regarded as empty. ”

Li Zhi was silent.
