Chapter Seventy-Eight: A River

The long winter passed in the blink of an eye, and in the spring of the second year of Shi'an, Shen Tingnian's favored day had just begun, and Pu Yangxu didn't recruit anyone else except for turning over her brand.

The court that had been idle for nearly two months also ushered in a major event, and there was a war in the north that had been silent for many years, and it was Beidi who repeatedly disturbed the people in the border city, and King Cong led his troops out of the city to fight with him, and captured a general of Beidi, and then the situation intensified...... When the battle report reached the capital, Beifeng City had already started fighting.

The country is at war, and it stands to reason that the matter of this draft girl will be delayed, but the emperor and queen are surprisingly unanimous that they did not mention this stubble, and the Ministry of Rites heard the song and knew the elegance, and stepped up according to the process.

The women in the inner palace don't care about the outside affairs, and they can't control it, and the biggest thing for them is to enter a group of new people, and everyone is worried about their own affairs. Some central officials who deal with outsiders will specially inquire about political affairs and turn around and resell the news inside, but most of them dare to pass on the news between acquaintances, and no one can give money.

Xiao Xizi has been in Changxin Yuan for two years, his brain is very good, and he is also heartfelt, and he is very effective in running errands on weekdays, and at the end of the year, he was promoted by Min Yun to the great eunuch of Changxin Yuan, although he is not as young as those old Huangmen lieutenants outside, but he is very popular, and he can do things with a sweet mouth, plus he often deals with Xu Xian Chenluo, and the people below are not blind, so they naturally take the initiative to make friends with him.

Shen Tingnian's news, on the surface, was inquired by Xiao Xizi, which is very well-informed, but it is related to Beifeng City, and she can't care about it.

However, before Changxinyuan's small meeting on this matter started, an edict came from His Royal Highness the Prince, announcing that she would go to the Qianqiu Palace to serve dinner.

###

Vertical arch hall.

The ministers had a heated discussion about the war, among which the main and faction were particularly sharp, and the main battle faction that was almost suppressed in the verbal exchange did not stand straight.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has not been peaceful for so many years, but at least after Emperor Renwu was too old to fight, there were no major wars or disasters, and the people were in peace, and even the vassal kings everywhere lived at home.

The people raised under this tranquility are a little more literate and a little less bloody.

"Whoever advocates peace, who is responsible for appeasing the families of the 2,000 soldiers who died due to the night attack in Beidi."

As soon as Pu Yangxu spoke, the hall was as quiet as a needle, his handsome and dazzling face, when his face sank like water, he was extraordinarily cold and noble.

"Go and bury those innocent and dead heroes, and go and see with your own eyes the blood that has not dried up on the North Peak City."

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were aimed at the emperor on the dragon throne, he was very impatient, but after listening to Pu Yangxu's words, he straightened his body, and his expression was much more relaxed, "What the prince said is extremely true, who is willing to deal with this matter, you Aiqing." ”

No one dared to speak.

Pu Yangxu was troubled by these people's noise, and at this time, the emperor was afraid that he would be criticized if he stayed any longer, so he made a look and let Fu'an, who was next to the throne, announce his retirement from the dynasty.

Naturally, there is nothing else, and when the emperor leaves, hundreds of officials come out one after another, and the long palace steps extend to the palace gate, empty and silent.

Pu Yangxu strode out, who told him to take the lead, if he didn't go faster, he was afraid that it would be difficult to go. Keep up and want to talk, hook up with a lot of officials, but he is always unapproachable, nothing to talk about, ordinary people under his gaze every word is extremely pressured, everyone gradually rested, they know that this lord is not the former emperor, nor the current emperor, he has both the decisive and ruthless character of the first emperor, and learned the quietness of King Cong, everything is hidden, even the confidants are often confused, all in all, the way is powerful, the means are convincing, there is never a difficult thing to pour him.

Now, that absolute coercion has been deeply engraved into the bones of all ministers.

Counting it carefully, a person's growth is by no means traceless, but the transformation of the prince seems to have become more and more unfathomable in the past three years.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please stay ......"

This call was too abrupt, and the officials who had not gone far all looked sideways, but it was Shen He of the Yushitai.

He hurriedly approached, panting and said, "Weichen has something to do, I hope His Highness will be tolerant." ”

Just when Shen He intercepted the prince and was allowed to follow him to the East Palace, Shen Tingnian had been taken to the prince's palace by Xu Shi, and he was called a waiter.

The Qianqiu Hall is full of all kinds of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers that bloom in early spring has spread to the courtyard, however, no matter how beautiful the courtyard is, it can't withstand the woman lying on the beauty couch leisurely and tranquilly under the tree.

The wind blows and the flowers dance, and the people are more delicate than the flowers.

Pu Yangxu and Shen He behind him were stunned in front of the steps of the corridor.

Shen Tingnian is wearing a snow-colored embroidered skirt today, which matches the current scenery very well, but she is not as chic as she looks, there is no outside to block the wind, and she is almost frozen after staying for a while.

When Shen Tingnian was a little bored and couldn't wait, he turned his head and saw the prince.

She laughed subconsciously, and the next moment she found Shen He again, and got up sluggishly-this doesn't mean that she was waiting for him here, why did she bring the foreign minister in?

Shen Tingnian folded his hands in front of him and saluted dignifiedly, "I've seen Your Highness." ”

Pu Yangxu descended the steps and nodded restrainedly, "Come with the palace." ”

However, Shen He quickly regained his composure and followed them into the study.

"This is Shen He of the Imperial Historical Tower." Pu Yangxu said, and unexpectedly added, "One of the six gentlemen of Shenmen, the word Yichuan, good at poetry and songs, known as Yichuan Jun." ”

His kind introduction, listening to Shen Tingnian's ears, was like a stone falling into a quiet pool, stirring up ripples.

Ichikawa – It's him.

Shen He raised his head at the right time and glanced at Shen Tingnian, who forced a shallow smile to look back, consciously withdrew his hand in his wide sleeve, and then followed Pu Yangxu's line of sight to look at the back of the screen, and then turned around and walked there.

When her figure disappeared into the inner room behind the screen, Pu Yangxu said, "What did you do for the excerpt the day before yesterday?" ”

Shen Tingnian turned his back against the bookshelf, and saw Shen He unexpectedly, and repeatedly spread the news to her to warn Yichuan Jun of the direction of the wind in the palace, she unconsciously held her breath and wanted to calm down, and the sound outside came clearly.

"Yes."

"You're well-informed." Pu Yangxu sat down in front of the desk, his voice was flat, his slender fingers tapped the table, motioned for him to sit down, and said, the prince was direct and concise, staring at Shen He, "The war in the north is together, and the west is about to visit, what do you think Xirong's right minister wants to come this time?" ”

"Join forces to resist the north." Shen He is more crisp than him. Every year, I give money and gifts, but this time I have an extra reason.

The two looked at each other, and in their eyes were the deep meaning that each other knew.

"Beidi is a hundred years of sorrow in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if it unites Xirong, it will definitely be a great war of overturning."

Shen He didn't answer this sentence immediately, he glanced at the screen a few steps away from him, and finally looked at the upper of his sky-facing boots, revealing a smile of unknown meaning, fleeting.

"The minister thinks that His Highness should know the truth that he was born in sorrow and died in peace."

If no one understands the truth, the difficulty lies in whether it can be done.

"Redraw an excerpt, and you will be responsible for the reception of Xirong's right minister this time."

After Pu Yangxu finished speaking, he let Shen He out, even though the other party was silent and calm, he still caught some abnormalities, and then looked at the screen, "Come out." ”

Shen Tingnian straightened the book behind him that was crooked by her, walked out lightly, looked natural and calm, walked straight back to Pu Yangxu's side, and sat on his lap.

Pu Yangxu looked at her intently, and finally smiled with satisfaction, she was used to pleasing him, and knew how to dispel his unhappiness.

The picture of the beauty under the tree just now should have been his exclusive one, but it was looked at by another man, if he hadn't brought people in himself, he was afraid that other people would not be able to go out normally, so they would have to clean up.

Shen Tingnian's heart was slightly relaxed, and his voice was soft and slightly resentful: "The people I am waiting for are going to be stiffened by the wind...... There are also leaves that fall on the body. ”

Saying that, he raised his hand and touched his slender neck, Pu Yangxu grabbed her hand away, swept his eyes, it was a little red, his fingers stroked it, with smiling eyes, serious and real, firmly staring at Shen Tingnian's eyes, her eyes like washed water, pure as Xu, the wings of the nose moved slightly, and what came into his heart was the light and misty fragrance that Shen Tingnian exuded, as if he had been bewitched, a little closer to her face, kissing gently, starting from a small nose, extremely serious, gentle, and meticulous kissing, and perceiving the violent tremor of the body under his hand/ Moving, he just held her waist and dipped/immersed step by step......

Shen Tingnian's hands on both sides suddenly tightened, and he tightened his sleeves, and the green tendons on his hands could be faintly moved, as if he had exhausted all his strength. She would rather Pu Yangxu's actions be rude and domineering, and she was very afraid of his gentleness in her heart, the kind of love and warmth that regarded her as a treasure...... She really didn't like it, it would make her have an extreme fear of stepping on the cliff and not being able to fall to the ground.

How could Pu Yangxu, who was fully engaged, know what Shen Tingnian was thinking about at this moment.

Shen Tingnian closed his eyes, and his mind was chaotic, comparable to the catkins passing away with the wind, covering the sky with all kinds of ups and downs.

If Pu Yangxu has a heart to be gentle, it will definitely make people's hearts melt, the sight of the big daylight is too bright, Shen Tingnian is so ashamed that his whole body is pink, his eyes are closed, his senses are extremely acute, and his breathing is like a fire, his body is gradually rolling/hot, the deeper the kiss is, the more entangled/lingering, but the vest reveals a trace of coldness, diffuse, as if all his breath was swallowed by him, and gradually fell into the fog of getting deeper and farther.

When Shen Tingnian woke up, it was already dark, she moved, immediately froze again, raised her eyes to see, the face close at hand was softer and warmer than ever, her eyebrows were carefully trimmed, not thick or light, her nose was straight, her lips were thin and light, it was common to look at them separately, and it was indescribably pleasing to the eye when she got together.

She watched quietly for a long time.

There were two side lights in the inner room, the light was not very bright, Shen Tingnian reluctantly twisted his body, only to prop up his upper body, and then faced a pair of black eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Pu Yangxu's voice was not loud, and he was a little lazy.

Shen Tingnian swallowed his saliva and said, "Thirsty......"

As she spoke, she wanted to turn over, but as soon as she lifted her sore legs, she snorted and fell back on her stomach.

Pu Yangxu's chest was staggered, slightly flustered, and then he smiled, he propped up half of his body, hugged Shen Tingnian to his side, and casually pulled over his bedclothes and got out of bed.

Shen Tingnian was angry and ashamed, so he could only grit his teeth.
