The night is deep, and the hustle and bustle returns to tranquility. The whole huge city of Tokyo is like a tired child, quietly falling asleep.

Chu Tianya walked to the side of the high building, overlooking the whole city, and the cool breeze of the late night of the Great Song Dynasty blew in his ears.

This building was designed by Cai Jing, the former master of the imperial power, and was built by many well-known architects at that time. The building is arguably the tallest building in Tokyo, even taller than the buildings in the Imperial Palace.

The name of the building, the platform.

Nowadays, there is a saying that before entering Tokyo, you can see this platform from afar. It can be seen that it is now almost a "landmark" of Tokyo.

"Lord, the night is getting deeper and colder, it's time to go back and rest." Suzaku said not far behind Chu Tianya.

"Hmm......" Chu Tianya replied casually, his voice revealing some exhaustion.

Suzaku was silent for a moment and said softly, "You're tired." ”

"Sort of." Chu Tianya turned his head and smiled at her, "Can you have a drink with me?" ”

The word "okay" is enough to show that this is not an order from the lord to his subordinates, but an invitation from a man to a woman. It was only when there was no one else that Chu Tianya would talk to Suzaku like this.

"Didn't you just eat the imperial banquet in the palace?" Suzaku smiled, "Isn't the wine in the palace enough for you to drink?" ”

"That can't be called drinking." Chu Tianya smiled slightly bitterly, and patted his hands on the railing, "Because there is no one present." ”

Suzaku nodded slightly, "I can drink a little with you." ”

Later, the two of them were on the railing of the highest platform of the platform, drinking to each other in front of the thick ink night sè and the intoxicating breeze.

Chu Tianya hadn't really relaxed like this for a long time. He felt like a machine that had to be kept running tirelessly.

Stop, and it may mean death.

"Heaven treats everyone fairly." Chu Tianya couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The more you get, the more you actually lose." ”

"That's right." Suzaku replied indifferently, "I often think about the same question. Most people in the world admire power, wealth, fame, and status. As everyone knows, if you want to get anything, you have to pay a corresponding price. ”

Chu Tianya shook his head gently, adding a hint of bitterness to his smile, "Actually, I have always been a person with no ambitions, I just want to live a very ordinary civilian life. My parents are healthy, I have enough food and clothing, my wife and children are safe, and there are no big ups and downs, sorrows and joys, and I am very satisfied with this kind of life. ”

"When such words come out of the mouth of King Chu Taishi of Wei, ninety percent of people will not believe it." Suzaku smiled, "In just a few years, you have climbed from a small official in Dragon City to a position below one person and above ten thousand people. This is enough to shock the world. ”

"That's not what I wanted. Do you believe it? ”

"Faith."

"So, people, always can't help themselves." Chu Tianya shook his head and still smiled bitterly, "We can't go back to the beginning, we can only continue to be slaves of reality." There are many things that we don't have a choice of, and we don't even have the possibility to stop and think. You can only follow this road and keep going. ”

Suzaku paused slightly and said, "Why do you have so many emotions today?" Is it because of the marriage given by the official family? ”

"Something to do with it!" Chu Tianya exhaled lightly, and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile, "If I sue you, I was actually a little nervous when I saw that Roufu Emperor Ji at that time, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it." Suzaku said without hesitation, "But, why? ”

"Because she's a beauty, I'm a man." Chu Tianya smiled, "When men face beautiful women, they will have such an instinctive and natural reaction, don't they?" ”

"So?" Suzaku smiled, smiling with her eyes, she put down her wine glass and looked at Chu Tianya with interest, "Women in the world, you can do whatever you want, are you still nervous?" I can't figure it out. ”

"I just want to sue you, but I'm actually just a very ordinary man. It was, it is, and it will always be. Chu Tianya sighed lightly, "But in the eyes of many people, I am no longer an ordinary person. So, I shouldn't behave like an ordinary person...... So, it makes me tired. ”

"I seem to understand a little bit." Suzaku's eyes lit up, "When facing Emperor Roufu, you also want to be like other men, to express amazement, courtesy, or to express uneasiness and nervousness. But because you are the King of Wei, you can't, you have to cover up and pretend. What you show in front of everyone is not who you are at all. You have to wear a mask all the time to disguise. Right? ”

"Yes." Chu Tianya's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he nodded gently, "There are often storytelling and singing performances in the tile shop. Those good guys have to take a break every time they perform because they get tired. But I can't take a break, I have to keep my disguise all the time. You say, "Can I not get tired?" ”

"That's where you are today, the price and the pressure you have to bear, and it's a sacrifice." Suzaku said softly, "Of course, it's much more than that. What you have lost before, what you will lose in the future, and even more. And these are not what outsiders can imagine and predict. It's also something they can't understand. ”

"Only you can understand." Chu Tianya glanced at Suzaku deeply, raised his head and drank a full glass of wine.

Suzaku smiled and drank a full cup with him.

Then, the two quietly watched the boundless night market together, in a daze, for a long time.

A real confidant, in fact, does not need too much language communication, and can understand each other's minds. For Suzaku, a confidant, Chu Tianya's heart was full of trust and gratitude. But he will not transform this feeling into the love of men and women, or recklessly exchange it for one night**.

For Chu Tianya, the Vermilion Bird is too precious. Not anyone can replace it. Whether it was before or in the future, there has always been no shortage of women by Chu Tianya's side; But Suzaku is unique.

Suzaku's wisdom also lies in the fact that she will never be as obsessed as a noble person to have Chu Tianya, even if it is a short night. Most of the time she is silent and does not exist. But when Chu Tianya needed her the most, she could always appear at the right time.

What's more, she seemed to be in Chu Tianya's heart forever, and she never left half a step. She could understand all his thoughts.

At this point, even Xiao Linglong has never been perfect. Suzaku, but did it.

"There may indeed be no real friendship between men and women." Chu Tianya said suddenly, "But I know that Vermilion Bird will definitely always accompany Chu Tianya." Not too close, not too far. ”

"I will." Suzaku replied briefly.

"Am I being selfish?" Chu Tianya said.

"It's a little." Suzaku smiled very indifferently, "Who is not selfish?" Including me. ”

"Sue me, what do you want?" Chu Tianya asked.

"I know that as long as I say it, you will definitely give it." Suzaku picked up the wine glass and played with it in his hand with interest, smiling slightly.

"Yes. I will. ”

Suzaku smiled more and more charmingly, and the sense of a mature woman and wisdom blended so perfectly in her smile.

"Have you been thinking about the answer to this question for a long time and have always wanted to know?" She asked.

"Yes. Can you sue me today? Chu Tianya took a deep breath, "Just so that the guilt I feel about you in my heart can be relieved a little." ”

"Okay, I'll sue you." Suzaku put down his glass, "You promise one thing. ”

"You say."

Suzaku looked at Chu Tianya quietly with her smiling bright eyes, and rarely said so seriously: "Promise me, never say you love me, never think about giving me any name, never let me sleep for you...... And never, don't let me leave you! ”

Chu Tianya turned his head and looked at the boundless night beside him, and was silent for a long time.

"Don't you want to say yes?"

"I don't think I've got a choice." Chu Tianya sighed softly, "What else can I say?" ”

"Then you're just saying yes." After saying that, Suzaku stood up and hugged Chu Tianya, "Lord, the night is already very deep, please rest and go!" ”

"Okay......" Chu Tianya smiled helplessly, and stood up himself. He looked at Suzaku and said very seriously, "Thank you!" ”

Suzaku smiled indifferently back, "My lord, Emperor Roufu is waiting for you." ”

Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, and then came back to his senses. That's right, on the sixth floor of this platform, Emperor Roufu was still waiting for him in the room.

It is said that the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married. The princess is going to get married, and it must be a grand wedding, and many ceremonies must be in place one by one. Like this, the princess was sent to the concubine's mansion on the night of the wedding, which is unique in history.

The reason is very simple, even if Emperor Roufu is a princess and comes to Chu Tianya's house, she can only be a concubine. Because it is well known to the world, Chu Tianya has already held a big wedding with Xiao Linglong, the lord of Flying Fox County, and set up Xiao Linglong as the concubine. If Emperor Roufu wants to marry, then she can only be a concubine!

What about princesses? The daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled, and from the moment the emperor gave the marriage, the fate of Emperor Roufu has undergone a 180-degree turn. Previously, he was a pampered princess; In the future, she is just a concubine who can be beaten, scolded, toyed with and even sold by her husband's family!

Since she is a concubine, there is no need to have any royal weddings, and it is the right thing to do by sending them directly to Chu Tianya's mansion. Moreover, the official Zhao Huan was too worried that Chu Tianya would regret it. He couldn't wait for Chu Tianya to be at the banquet and Emperor Roufu's cave room at that time, and it was best to give birth to a baby on the spot.

In that way, the Zhao family may be able to be more safe and stable. Compared to this, what wedding and etiquette seem so insignificant. As for the personal feelings of Emperor Jofu...... Zhao Huan didn't have time to worry about it.

Chu Tianya slowly, step by step, went down from the top floor of the platform to the sixth floor, and stood outside the door of Emperor Roufu.

The two palace maids stood at the door with lanterns, and when they saw Chu Tianya coming, they hurriedly knelt down and pressed their foreheads to the ground, "Meet King Wei!" ”

He was terrified, like a little rabbit seeing a tiger coming down the mountain.

"Get up." Chu Tianya said calmly.

"King Xie Wei!" The two palace maids stood up, holding the lantern and bowing their heads, not daring to look at Chu Tianya at all.

Chu Tianya saw that these two palace maids were also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and they were quite beautiful. Even if they are voted into the family of a dignitary, they should be extremely favored. And now, they are just the dowry of Emperor Roufu, and they are Chu Tianya's "room ring".

As long as Chu Tianya was willing, he could take off the two palace maids now, and then drag them to the bed to enjoy them wantonly. If you wake up tomorrow and look unpleasant, you can sell them like cows, horses and livestock in exchange for a meal and wine.

Such palace maids, Emperor Roufu brought a total of six. All of them are smart and absolutely sè women who are carefully selected in the harem, and they are absolutely guaranteed to be the virgins of Bingqing Yujie.

"Did the emperor ever sleep?" Chu Tianya asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, His Royal Highness the Emperor Ji is waiting for the King of Wei in the room." One of the servants replied cautiously.

"Go down and rest."

"Yes......" The two maidservants gave a salute and went away. Looking at their steps, it is obvious that they are all strictly trained, and they are not in a hurry and have an elegant posture.

Tai yīn and Tai Chang took over the ministry of the two of them, and raised a lantern to guard the door.

Chu Tianya pushed open the door, the red candles in the room were flickering and the lights were bright, and the room was full of jewels and red light, and it had already been decorated into a happy room.

The five women knelt on the ground, "Welcome King Wei!" ”

Kneeling in the middle of the front is the Roufu Emperor in a red wedding dress. But she did not wear the phoenix crown that a woman married.

She is just a concubine, and she is not qualified.

And the other four palace maids were just covered with a layer of rǔ white tulle that penetrated the skin. Other than that, there is no more handicaps. If you look closely, you can see the veins and every inch of their bodies.

They are dowry offerings, and they are intercourse. On the night of the cave house, they came to press the bed for the princess and the concubine.

Chu Tianya looked at them quietly, this group of beautiful and seductive women could make any man's blood flow high; At the same time, they are also derivatives of, or rather, victims, of power and status.
