Yang Chengzu did not refuse her invitation, and after finishing his visit to Sun Jiao, he followed the woman to the garden of the inner house. Xue Niang was waiting in the octagonal pavilion, and there was no unpleasant conjecture here, but after all, she was a woman who was going to marry into the palace, and such a meeting was not very suitable after all.

The two greeted each other very politely, and sat down separately, and placed a chessboard and two boxes of jade chess pieces on the stone table. Sun Xueniang smiled generously, "Brother Shi, we have known each other for a long time, but I suddenly found that we didn't seem to have spoken a few words between us." It won't be long before the little sister will marry into the palace, and in the future, you and I will belong to the monarch and ministers, and there will be too many courtesies, so that we can't talk like today. I think, while you and I are still friends, I can accompany my brother to talk about it, and I don't know if Engong can appreciate it. ”

"Playing chess, I'm actually not good at this, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it's something that talented people play, where did I get a rough person. On the contrary, it is long live, it is a middle master, and in the future, Miss Sun will enter the palace and play against the husband and wife, which is interesting. I'm just offering ugliness, it's not good, don't be surprised. ”

Yang Chengzu lowered his head, staring at the chessboard, not daring to look at it at all, but the keen Xue Niang could still catch that this man's gaze seemed to be peeking at himself?

Yes, the factory guards have thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, even if they are in their own homes, how can they dare to guarantee that there are no eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven? The pavilion is located in the heart of the garden, and the surrounding area is empty, but no one can be hidden. She asked in a low voice, "Brother Shi, are you okay now?" I heard my father say that no one is chasing you anymore. ”

Yang Chengzu replied in the same voice, "Sort of, no one is bothering me for the time being." Long live me, they can't make any tricks, so they have to forget it. At present, this hurdle has finally passed, and as for the future, no one can say. ”

"You seem to have something to do with the Zhang family? How did you hear that Empress Dowager Zhang was angry with you? You are the governor of a product and sing by yourself, which is not very good, and you always have to talk about individuality. ”

"I'm not loyal and good like Sun Weng, and I can't afford to talk about these things. Long live happy, my life is a little better, everyone is happy, if I also talk about any rules, decent, make Banzai upset, I'm afraid I can't even stay in Beijing. ”

As soon as the piece fell, the jade chess pieces made a crisp sound on the chessboard, and Xue Niang's heart, with the collision of the chess pieces, seemed to be smashed into dozens of pieces by a giant hammer. Before Yang Chengzu arrived, she even imagined that she could rush into his arms desperately, telling her lovesickness and her heart for him.

As long as you can meet him and talk, even if you are broken, you will have no regrets. But it wasn't until they met that she realized that everything was just her own fantasy. This kind of game across the table, but also careful not to touch his own hands, even the chess pieces he touched, he did not dare to touch, this is the limit of the intersection of the two.

If he is ruthless to himself, but from those sneaking eyes, it is clear that he is peeking at himself, he is just afraid, afraid of long live, afraid of bringing trouble to himself and his family. He can't be blamed for this, why shouldn't he be burdened with the fate of a family?

This is fate, if on the way from Henan to Anlu, he handed over his body to him and got it to the point where rice was cooked, even if it was the Son of Heaven? As for now, even if Yang Chengzu is willing to give up everything for himself, can he bear it and let him give up his beloved son and stepmother and die with himself? That kind of thing, it's okay to talk about it, but if you really want to do it, you can't get through this level in the first place.

If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being blessed, and if you blame it, you have to blame the emperor in the Forbidden City. When I was at the poetry meeting, I just saw that he was alone and no one cared about him, so I was moved by compassion, but I didn't expect it, but I finally put myself in. The only thing I can do now is to make my sacrifice worthwhile, and use my life to keep the peace of this man who can only hide in my heart.

"Brother Shi, don't worry too much, long live is a Ming Jun and will not treat Zhongliang harshly. After the concubine enters the palace, she will also speak well in front of Banzai, and will not let the brother be slandered and framed by traitors. ”

"I have a heart. If Miss has time, she should persuade Sun Weng more, long live to keep him, it is sincere, and it is also sincere to let him enter the cabinet. Sun Weng's spirit is good, if he asks to go now, there will be one less brave and loyal loyalman in the court, I hope Sun Weng can think more about the people. Don't pay attention to the gossip of the laity. ”

The maid walked around vigilantly in all directions, looking for all suspicious characters, Sun Xueniang and Yang Chengzu, what they said was business, there was no slightest wind and snow, until Yang Chengzu said goodbye, Sun Xueniang was still sitting in the pavilion in a daze, motionless.

The maid thought something was wrong, so she hurriedly ran back and pushed her, and Xue Niang smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "I'm not dead, you don't have to be afraid." I just figured it out and knew what way I should use to truly repay his affection. In our lives, we don't have the opportunity to be together, instead of thinking about it, I should think about how to sit as a queen. In the palace, with him helping me, some intrigues and tricks can't help me. As long as I am a good queen, I can protect that person, who is worth my life protecting. ”

She gently grabbed a few jade chess pieces, which were the last ones Yang Chengzu used, and she could still feel a trace of his body temperature on them. She clutched the chess pieces tightly in her hands, put them on her chest, and closed her eyes. After a long time, he put the chess pieces in a close-fitting purse, as his most memorable object, put it with him, and said to the maid:

"The people in the house, which one do you think is suitable, just talk to me, and I will arrange it for you. Ensure that you marry the scenery, and the marriage is also in line with your mind, if he bullies you in the future, I will stand up for you. As for what to say and what not to say, I'm sure you know it in your heart. ”

The woman also knew that with her identity, she definitely had no hope of entering the palace, so she nodded and said: "I won't look for a man, it's boring, Miss give me some money, and I can support myself." General Yang drove that Yang Ji, and I can also go to join a share. In short, there will be no starvation. ”

Xue Niang smiled and nodded, "That's fine, you yourself into a share, I also into a share, my share, you watch for me." However, not with my current identity, but with my identity as a queen, I will become a shareholder in Yang Ji. ”
