Back in the room where they lived, Thirteen Niang glanced at Chunsheng: "Where is the book where I listen to others?" Your Majesty, he just wants to arrange for the army to go on the expedition! These words were still spoken by the little partridge. ”

Chunsheng sighed: "Mother, the emperor does want to arrange for the army to go out, but this must not be said. ”

"Can't be said?" Thirteen Niang was puzzled.

The state of Chu is so strong now, is it possible that he is still worried that he will be embarrassed by others when he goes on the expedition?

Chunsheng said: "Because this army is to be lent to the prince from the sea country. The Sea Kingdom is now in danger, and none of this can be known to Princess Rongyue. Of course, the other princesses Fushou and Xiaoyi are also unclear. We didn't feel like we should tell them. ”

Thirteen Niang seemed to understand a little: "Is it because I'm worried about them?" ”

"Yes, the queen is a kind woman." Chunsheng talked about Liu Qingyan, and his eyes couldn't help but start to shine again, with envy, reverence, and even some emotions that shouldn't be there.

From his eyes and expression, Thirteen Niang could see his thoughts. She couldn't help but be worried: "Chunsheng." ”

Chunsheng sat obediently in front of her: "What's the matter?" Mother? ”

Thirteen Niang took a deep breath and said, "You are not too old now, my mother thought that when the queen gave birth to the emperor, I would arrange the marriage for you." At the very least, you have to make a marriage contract, and when you are old, you can get married. ”

Chunsheng was stunned and looked at Thirteen Niang: "Mother...... Why? Why should I get married? ”

Thirteen Niang said: "Whether it is a man or a woman, when he reaches a certain age, he has to get married!" The queen mother and the emperor are also married, and after a while, Lord Lu will also marry Princess Rongyue. It's human nature! ”

"But...... But I don't want to get married. Chunsheng lowered his eyes.

"If you're not married, what do you do? Alone for a lifetime? Thirteen Niang looked at him with a frown.

Chunsheng glanced at Thirteen Niang cautiously and said softly, "Isn't it good for me to stay with my mother all the time?" I've always taken care of my mother, so why do I have to get married? ”

Thirteen Niang put on an indifferent look: "Do you want to always accompany your mother and me, or do you want to always accompany the queen?" You should know it well in your own heart! ”

Chunsheng seemed to have been poked in the heart, frowned, lowered his head and did not speak.

He was looking at his palm. When I first flipped through the pages, I was dyed with a good smell of books, and I was still slender and fair. But if it weren't for that man, he would now be able to work only from field to field, with calloused hands.

Everything now is because of that one person, because of the queen mother.

"Mother," Chunsheng said slowly, "I'm accompanying the queen mother, isn't it?" If it weren't for the queen's mother, we would still be living in the countryside now, and we wouldn't be able to have the life we have now. I think we're doing well now, and I hope to be able to live like this in the future. ”

"But you shouldn't not get married!" Thirteen Niang scolded angrily.

"I'm not married, and that's because I don't want to be distracted." Chunsheng said softly.

"Whether it's because you don't want to be distracted, or because you have a person hidden in your heart, and there is no place for other people to live, your own heart should be very clear!" Thirteen Niangdao.

Chunsheng was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at Thirteen Niang, opened his mouth, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Is that so? Is it because he has hidden someone in his heart?

Who is that person? The Queen?

Chunsheng suddenly felt that his breathing stagnated for a moment, his face turned a little pale, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Chunsheng," Thirteen Niang took Chunsheng's hand, "You are young now, you don't know those emotional things, your mother understands!" But you shouldn't ...... You shouldn't have any thoughts about the queen, understand? The queen mother is the queen mother after all, the emperor's woman, you are just an ordinary ......"

"Mother." Chunsheng suddenly spoke, interrupting Thirteen Niang.

With tears in her eyes, Thirteen Niang looked at her son, felt a burst of pity in her heart, and said tremblingly: "I shouldn't be so incompetent...... If I were good and didn't ask you to come out and make money at a young age, you wouldn't be what you are now......"

She looked at Chunsheng, and her face revealed a pleading color: "Chunsheng...... When the time comes, you will beg the queen mother to marry you, as long as it is a girl from a good family, the mother will not choose. ”

Chunsheng actually knows very well why Thirteen Niang is so anxious to want him to have a marriage contract.

Thirteen Niang saw Chunsheng's admiration for the queen mother and was worried that he would do something impulsive. This gentle woman all her life only hopes that her son will be well, start a family, and marry a virtuous and virtuous woman.

But Thirteen Niang ignored one point, that is, Chunsheng's own feelings.

Since he has already met a woman like Liu Qingyan, in this life, from now to the future, how can he be tempted by other women?

Even if he really got married and started a business, he raised eyebrows with his wife, and his children surrounded him, but his heart will always be occupied by Liu Qingyan. But it's no one's fault.

In the face of his mother's bitter pleading, Chunsheng could only nod and say, "Okay, mother, I promise you." Don't cry. ”

He wiped away his mother's tears and wanted to cry for a while, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to cry, and there was no place to shed tears.

Chunsheng finally understood why he had always heard people say that growing up was not a very interesting thing. Growing up means carrying more and forbearance more, but it is not until now that he finally understands.

That night, Chunsheng comforted Thirteen Niang to sleep, and wandered around the palace alone, panicking in his heart.

He stopped by a wall, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter on the wall: "Why are we so destined?" ”

This voice is not unfamiliar, who is not the crane boy who has disappeared for many days?

Chunsheng frowned and looked up, "What are you doing here?" The voice was cold, with obvious impatience.

He Gongzi jumped down from the wall and conjured a jar of wine for him as if he was playing a trick: "Look, I went outside and brought this back." Do you want? ”

"Don't." Chunsheng finished speaking with a blank face, turned around and left.

"Hey, you said that you are a child, how can you be kind enough to treat yourself as a donkey's liver and lungs, and you don't want you to drink if I invite you to drink?" Crane Gongzi followed him, and his tone was full of ridicule.

"I don't want to see you, and I don't want your stuff." Chunsheng said expressionlessly.

Crane Gongzi smiled and said, "I'm not blind, I know you're in a bad mood right now." Tell me, what's wrong? Is this an emotional setback? ”

didn't want to be hit by him as soon as he said it, Chunsheng's heart was even more irritable, and his steps were faster.

He Gongzi grabbed his hand: "Chunsheng, don't hold yourself, you are still young, if you feel uncomfortable, you can say it." In fact, even if you grow up and are in a bad mood, you can talk about it. ”

Chunsheng glanced at his hand, "Spread out." ”

"I'm trying to persuade you, I'm saying good things, why are you still so fierce?" Crane Gongzi was a little aggrieved.

"I don't need your persuasion! I am fine! Chunsheng shook off his hand.

He continued to walk forward, refusing to take care of the crane boy behind him. It's not because he's annoying, it's because he doesn't want his thoughts to be looked down upon. He has always been a very face-saving teenager.

However, after a pause, something irreversible happened.

"Chunsheng, do you like the queen?" Tsuru Gongzi suddenly asked behind him.

Chunsheng's footsteps couldn't help but pause. His gaze froze, and one turned back and glared at him viciously: "What did you say?" I warn you, don't talk nonsense! ”

Chunsheng approached Tsuru Gongzi, grabbed his collar, and said in a fierce tone: "I'll tell you!" You don't know anything! Don't think that you are some kind of relative of mine and can point fingers at my life! I'm telling you, you're not eligible! ”

Tsuru Gongzi looked at him calmly: "Do you want to drink now?" The tone was extremely soft.

Hearing him say this, Chunsheng was slightly stunned, and he didn't know why, he lost all his anger and ferocity for a while, let go of him, and leaned against the wall in a gloomy manner.

After a moment of silence, Chunsheng's voice slowly sounded: "Give me the wine, I'll take a sip." ”

Tsuru smiled and handed him the flask around his waist.

This is the first time Chunsheng has drunk alcohol, and when he takes the first sip, he feels a little cold, but his throat is very spicy. He frowned, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked up at the night sky.

There are stars in the night sky, and the cool breeze around you is slightly floating.

"Harusheng, I'll tell you," Tsuru turned his head to look at him, "wine is a very good thing. When you are happy, you drink, and when you are sad, you drink. Idle and have nothing to do, drink, you are busy, also drink. To put it bluntly, many of us, once we come into contact with alcohol, can no longer do without it. ”

"Are you too?" Chunsheng looked at him.

Crane Gongzi smiled and nodded: "I am, I am also a layman." ”

Chunsheng took another sip of wine and laughed, for some reason, he felt a little comfortable in his heart.

At this time, the two of them saw a team with torches walking not far away, and the figure at the head was no stranger to them, it was the current Saint Shanglu Siguan.

Crane Gongzi glanced at Chunsheng.

Chunsheng frowned, and poured himself a sip of wine: "The emperor has gone, the queen mother can be more relaxed, and she can sleep at night." ”

Crane Gongzi smiled: "Yes." ”
