Because the blow to Chu Ziyin from the last execution was too great, Emperor Yuan took a month to get better. The troops stationed on the frontier failed to completely wipe out the rebels led by Qi Xing. Another spy came with news that Qi Xing had lost all his money and food, and had no choice but to take refuge in the neighboring country of Burning Xia, which could be regarded as giving up relying on the insiders of Dachu to turn the tables.

However, if this is the case, Burning Xia is openly opposing Great Chu, and he must want to use Qi Xing's familiarity with the system specifications of the Great Chu army to try to provoke some incidents and put forward conditions with Emperor Yuan. It can be a border dispute at least a major war between the two countries. But the news was cut off, and it was not clear what the action was over there. Emperor Yuan simply took one step at a time, no longer thinking about exploring the situation of others, but turned his mind back to the Great Chu military camp. Recruiting troops, growing in strength, and preparing for a possible big war.

Concubine Feng and Chu Ziyin passed away one after another, although everyone thought it was strange, but the real reason was still not explored. I only thought that Chu Ziyin was unrepentant and was given death after colliding with the Holy Admiral Emperor Yuan, and Concubine Feng couldn't think of dying because of the double blow of her son's crimes and evil deeds. This scared Concubine Shen and Concubine Liu, and they didn't dare to compare anything recently, for fear that their son would also be accused of disrespecting their father.

There are fewer trivial things in the palace, and Yu Zhao is happy to be pure. But it's also a little boring, and on this day, there was a sudden commotion outside the Chaohui Palace, which caused Yu Zhao to go out to see. It turned out that Wen Luo was here, and he was bringing some strange folk gadgets, and Zhuo Yao was directing people to move in and put them away.

Seeing Yu Zhao come out, Wen Luoyang greeted her with his hands, and immediately wanted to run over, but suddenly found that the palace people around him were all standing with their heads down. Hurriedly straightened up and walked decently. At first glance, it took some effort to learn, Yu Zhao turned his head and ordered someone to serve tea, and waited for her to come before the two of them went in together.

When there were only two people left, Wen Luo finally couldn't hold back anymore, relaxed and sat down, and complained to Yu Zhao after drinking the tea in one gulp. "Niangniang, you don't know, this rule is too difficult to learn. I really tried my best, but those grandmothers were still angry and walked away several times. ”

"I know that I was the same day that day, and the grandmothers who taught me just didn't dare to go." Empathetic, Yu Zhao chatted with her about Fengyang. While the two were talking, Concubine Li suddenly visited.

After all, it was Wen Luo's aunt, and Yu Zhao still let her in. Once seated, Venlo saluted her. "The courtiers greet Concubine Li."

"There are a lot of rules." Concubine Li looked her up and down, trying to win over this niece she had never seen before. "Since you have come to Jingzhou, you will enter the palace to accompany me a lot in the future, so this day will not be boring."

Delayed giving Wen Luo a waiver, waiting for her reply, Yu Zhao couldn't stand it. After exiting the courtesy, he asked, "Earlier, you said that Your Majesty allowed you to enter the barracks, how did this matter be arranged?" ”

Wen Luo sat down and replied, "I am with my brother now, and I go to military training with him every day. ”

"Wen Yuan's child hasn't been married yet, right?" Concubine tried to interject again. "There is a suitable candidate in this palace, you go back and discuss it with your mother, it is a matchmaker for kissing and kissing."

"Yes...... But. Wen Luo was a little embarrassed: "Brother, he already has someone to marry." ”

"I know." Concubine Li waved her hand, as if to show that she was not welcome. "The daughter of the priest who takes care of the sacrificial supplies in the camp tent, what the palace told me is the daughter of the mother's cousin's family in the palace, and his father is the fourth grade of the official residence. If Wen Yuan really likes the original girl, it would be a good plan to be accepted as a concubine. ”

An awkward silence ensued, and Wen Luo didn't want to respond, and he didn't know how to refuse. Fortunately, Chu Ziyi just woke up at this time, shouting everywhere to find Yu Zhao.

"His Royal Highness Fifth has woken up, the palace can't accompany me, Concubine Li, please go back." Yu Zhao gave an eviction order, and in order to prevent her from taking Wen Luo away, she immediately said to Wen Luo: "Ziyi often talks about the kind of whistle that you want you to make with bamboo joints, can you teach me the people in the palace?" ”

"Naturally." Wen Luo immediately replied, and Concubine Li had no choice but to leave alone. Seeing that she was completely out of the palace gate, Wen Luo clutched his chest and sighed: "In the past ten years, all the words she said to me added up to not as much as today. ”

Yu Zhao said: "When the people of the Wen family saw that you were gaining power, they wanted to come together. And I heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the recent expansion of the military camp has dispersed the forces of veteran generals such as General Wen by the way. You and your brother are both talents, and whoever you want to do is want you to work for you. ”

"My father's legacy, loyalty to the country and disloyalty, even if he was demoted to a soldier before, he never wavered, and my brother and I only served Da Chu." When he said this, Wen Luo's eyes seemed to twinkle, thinking that this belief had been ingrained in his heart for many years and could not be shaken.

Yu Zhao nodded. "That's why you have your majesty's personal support. Your Majesty once praised you for being a female general. ”

"Really!" Hearing such a high praise from Emperor Yuan, Wen Luo's hearty smile floated unscrupulously on his face. "If I become a female general, I will not let foreign clans have the opportunity to covet an inch of my Dachu territory, take a penny of my Dachu money, and hurt one of my Dachu people."

"I'm sure you have what it takes." Seeing her high-spirited appearance, Yu Zhao encouraged.

After calming down his happy mood, Wen Luo told Yu Zhao about the art of war he had learned one by one, and the two chatted speculatively, and before they knew it, it was dusk, and the two said goodbye.

It's about to be in the middle of the yuan, and this day doesn't look like autumn is going to be in the autumn at all, when the night comes. There were some fireflies on the pond side of the back garden of Zhaohui Palace, flying in the moonlight of the lotus pond is very beautiful, Yu Zhao takes Chu Ziyi every night, and a bowl of ice cheese comes over to watch. Due to the busy affairs of the court, the movement of the secret passage in the study has not sounded for a long time. Today, Chu Zikai was urged by Emperor Yuan to set up a concubine, Yu Zhao knew that he would come over, and sure enough, he estimated that Chu Ziyi had just fallen asleep and sent him back to the side hall, and when he came back to see it, the light in the study was on.

Yu Zhao quietly walked to the door, looked through the crack, and was suddenly frightened and leaned back, Chu Zikai was clearly looking at her inside. Seeing that she was successfully frightened, Chu Zikai opened the door with a smile. "Why, you don't dare to see me in the open?"

Today, when Emperor Yuan urged Concubine Kaili of Chu, Yu Zhao was also there, only watching their father and son arguing from the sidelines, without saying a word. didn't want Emperor Yuan to be said to have the upper hand, and pointed at Yu Zhao to seek recognition. "Girl Yu, do you think I have a point."

Yu Zhao looked at Chu Zikai, and he looked smug and felt that he would deny it. But seeing that Emperor Yuan, as the king of a country, was said that he couldn't refute a word, so he could only seek the help of one of his daughters' family, and he couldn't bear it, so he chose not to speak, and nodded slightly.

With a thought, he even took a job for himself. Chu Zikai watched in disbelief as Emperor Yuan slapped a stack of portrait booklets of official women into Yu Zhao's hand. "You can also help you take a look, just be of good character." Turned his head and complained to Chu Zikai: "It's not for you to choose a concubine, it's so reluctant, the fourth child has children, and you, the royal brother, are not in a hurry." ”

Yu Zhao didn't expect things to come to this point, and decided to flee first. couldn't stop Chu Zikai from coming to the door, and he really didn't dare to face him at this moment.

Hold her hand first to prevent her from escaping, Chu Zikai pointed to the album on the bookcase that was divided into two piles, and couldn't believe it. "Zhaozhao, are you really choosing a concubine for me?"

"What if you don't?" Actually, no, Yu Zhao was purely curious, and he hadn't finished reading half of it. Fortunately, I can't laugh, otherwise I will definitely not be able to hold back at the moment. "Your Majesty has said it, and I can't help it."

He lowered his head when he spoke, so that Chu Zikai could not see his eyes.

"Impossible." Chu Zikai held her face with both hands, and saw the banter in her eyes clearly, pretending to be aggrieved. "I don't believe you're so willing to push other women into my arms?"

"But Your Majesty's move is not entirely unreasonable." Suddenly remembered the gossip that Wen Luo had chatted with him when he came, Yu Zhao felt even more funny, and it was just right to tease him at this moment. "Miss Liu was ruthlessly rejected by His Royal Highness, and some rumors came out that His Royal Highness was a broken ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was kissed by Chu Zikai fiercely, Yu Zhao's eyes widened in shock, and he didn't dare to move for an instant. Chu Zikai let go of her lips, hugged her and smiled: "I'm afraid it's hard to prove that I'm not, do you want to ...... again" was kicked hard in the next second.

"It's so fierce, I'm scared," Chu Zikai said to forgiveness, still hugging him: "Look at you like this, I don't dare to ask for those women, and if you turn over the vinegar jar in the future, you will definitely scratch and bite me, and you will be laughed at when you go out." ”

"I'm too lazy to care." Yu Zhao pushed him away to polish his ink and practice his words to meditate, and Chu Zikai came over and watched beside her. Yu Zhao asked, "If you don't choose two, then how are you going to deal with it?" ”

just waited for her to ask, as long as she asked, it proved that she cared, and replied: "I should not have a red affair this year, I have already sent someone to tell my father, Zhao Zhao is afraid that it will be a white gang to live." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhao's writing hand paused slightly, what if Chu Zikai is trying his best to block the marriage now, he will be the lord of the world in the future, and sooner or later he will be surrounded by a hundred flowers. He is the one who is the most unjustifiable, thinking of this, Yu Zhao rarely has some remorse. Yu Lu has already seen the humiliation and suffering of being a concubine, and I am afraid that I don't have the temperament to endure it.

Suddenly, seeing that her pen was slowing down, Chu Zikai looked at her and sensed her loss. Holding her pen in one hand, a letter fell all over the paper. "All your worries are my duty to block for you, I know you don't think it's realistic, but everything I've had since I was born is unrealistic, and I'm willing and not afraid of hardship. Believe me. ”

After the word was completed, his hand still did not let go, and his tone became more and more firm, and he asked, "Zhaozhao, do you believe it?" ”

Yu Zhao didn't dare to answer easily at the moment, feeling the temperature of his palm, and wanted to withdraw his hand but was clenched by him strongly, unable to break free. "I believe in you, but I don't believe in myself."

Chu Zikai is born with self-confidence and bravery, no matter what he does. And now it's time to escape for a while, and then try to think about the future. Still a little scared. Chu Zikai turned her around to face him. "It's good if you believe me, and the rest will come in a long time, so don't worry."

The candle flame flickered, illuminating a pair of figures in the room. But it is difficult to see clearly the feelings of being lost, and it is impossible to see whether it can get a result as expected.
