Just after lunch, Zhanxiao came as promised, and did not say persuasion as expected, it was really just a heart-to-heart talk, after drinking a cup of tea, Yu Zhao asked her: "The Chu army burned most of the grassland in the summer, are you still willing to come to Dachu and kiss?" ”

Zhanxiao's smile was a little unnatural, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he still replied with a smile: "Which round to get what I am willing or not, if it weren't for this battle, my father wouldn't have remembered me." ”

It turns out that she is not having a good time in the burning summer? Then why can the smile be so bright, Yu Zhaozheng was puzzled, and listened to her relieved: "That battle was originally the unreasonable of Burning Xia, and in the end, Da Chu also supported the people of Burning Xia to tide over the difficulties. I didn't want to be sent over to make peace, I was going to escape to Dachu, but I was discovered. ”

Yu Zhao didn't say anything, but said, "You look so good when you smile." ”

Zhan Xiao said modestly: "I only have this advantage." ”

Yu Zhao said: "I never know how to laugh, I'm quite envious." ”

Wen Yanzhan looked up at her with a smile, she did have a cold face, her tone was soft and friendly but there was no smile, there was no unexpected surprise, and there was a trace of envy in her smiling tone: "This is also very good, it's good to be happy when you're happy, and you don't have to force yourself to smile when you're sad." ”

Yes, there are all benefits, you can't laugh, and sometimes it's much easier, Yu Zhao saw Zhanxiao finish eating the osmanthus sugar cake on the guest table, and handed her what was on his table. "If you're not happy, you don't have to force yourself in front of me."

Sure enough, I saw that Zhanxiao's smile couldn't hold back, slowly converged, and his eyes were still red when he took the sugar cake. "Everyone has always praised me for smiling beautifully, and Niangniang was the first person to tell me not to be reluctant."

Everyone has joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and Yu Zhao knows that laughter is no exception, it is good to be able to laugh, but when he is angry and sad, he is afraid that it is easy to hold back his heart. Yu Zhao said: "It's nice to smile, but whether it comes from the heart or not, as long as you experience it carefully, you can understand it."

Zhan Xiao was a little helpless, and said with emotion: "They all say that Niangniang is not close to people, but in fact, Niangniang is born with a delicate heart, treating people with her heart, not treating people with a false face." ”

Yu Zhao was not good at how to respond to the praise of others, so he only said: "I also want to experience what it feels like to be happy from the heart to the face." ”

Zhan Xiao replied: "That feeling is very happy and rare, I have been holding this smiling face for so many years, in order to get other people's good faces in the king's tent in order to survive, I think that laughter is this feeling." Until I met ......"

The words stopped abruptly, and Yu Zhao replied for her: "Lord Win? ”

Remembering that Ying Huayi said that Yu Zhao was an insider, Zhanxiao did not shy away from it, nodded shyly, and continued: "When I escaped from the convoy, he found out, and his first reaction was not to arrest me back, but to tell me that it would be dangerous to be alone and without money. I like to talk to others when I think they are good. After that, I tried to steal something from the dowry box and escape, but he found out again. He told me that he had found the wrong box, and that it was clearly the box he was painting with him. The two of us looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. On the eve of the wedding, I wanted to run away again, in addition to money, I also wanted to take the portrait he painted for me, but when there were too many things, I was discovered by the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

What kind of place is the East Palace, the guards are no less than the Imperial Palace, not to mention people, it is difficult for birds to fly out, Yu Zhao felt that the person in front of him was innocent and rare, and asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fulfilled you?" ”

Seeing Zhan Xiao nodded violently. "Ying Huayi was drunk last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly took me to see him, and told me, as long as I stay in the East Palace, when the time comes, he will let me and Ying Huayi go. Then I stayed at Yinghua for one night, he was still full of nonsense, and when he woke up in the morning, he saw me, and I told him, and he was so happy that he cried......" Speaking of this, a pair of smiling eyes narrowed again, this time the smile was from the heart, and it looked better.

Seeing a pair of lovers who were happy with each other, Yu Zhao nodded and blessed: "Then stay well, Your Majesty also said today, if you want to come and talk to me, come to Chaohui Palace." ”

Zhan Xiao nodded, and said curiously: "Ying Huayi said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has someone he likes, and that person also likes him, but they can't be together for many reasons." Does the mother know who that person is? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have gone to look for her last night, and he was beaten badly, does that person really like him? ”

The culprit was sitting in front of her, hearing this was like asking for a crime, Yu Zhao was stunned, then lowered his eyes and replied: "It's definitely not as good as Liu Liangdi......

Zhan Xiao didn't know what to do, and nodded in agreement: "Liu Liangdi really likes His Royal Highness the Prince, his eyes are red this morning, and neither Zhang Liangyuan nor Ling Liangyuan have it." ”

Since he has an infatuated heart, maybe he will be moved by Liu Wanrou one day. Your own affection is not as deep as that of others, and it is wise and natural to quit. Thinking like this, Yu Zhao's heart became firmer again.

The matter of the crown prince and concubine has been lively, and in a blink of an eye, it is Yu Zhao's birthday, and this year's birthday banquet is still lively and boring. As usual, the ministers brought their beloved daughters, the young lady of Jingzhou, the daughter of the world-famous family, all of them were prepared for both talent and appearance. If you want to sing and dance for a while, you will sing and I will appear, and everything in the world has been sung by talented women with poetry and songs. Emperor Yuan had already yawned for an unknown number of times, and Yu Zhao was bored and looked at it. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was up and down, and Zhuo Yao was almost tired of handing over the rewarding purse.

However, what was surprising was that Wen Luo, who had been sent to manage the Burning Summer garrison, rushed back near the end of the banquet. Emperor Yuan took advantage of the occasion to give him the position of General Ning Yuan, and now he finally became a female general as he wished, Wen Luo looked at Yu Zhao and smiled happily, and Yu Zhao also nodded in response. Turned around and made sure Emperor Yuan, fulfilled the promise of the day, and personally brought a helmet crown for Wen Luo.

Everyone secretly exclaimed, the two brothers and sisters of Wen Yuan, who were originally just Jiupin Sesame officials watching the scene, have now become military generals in power. But they are not attached to the old General Wen's mansion, but they are friendly with Concubine Chen, and they are all speculating that they have joined the Yu Cheng faction.

Yu Cheng was also secretly thinking that among his own forces, there was indeed a lack of people in charge of military power, and he also moved his mind. After the banquet, he hurriedly handed over the letter to Yu Zhao, which naturally fell into the hands of Emperor Yuan, and instructed Chu Zikai to come to Chaohui Palace overnight to discuss.

Yu Zhao brought a helmet crown for Wen Luo unintentionally, but Yu Cheng and others cared, and Emperor Yuan asked Chu Zikai: "What do you think of this?" ”

Wen Yuan doesn't seem to be in any faction, but in fact, he has become Chu Zikai's confidant, and he is upright, so he is not afraid that he will defect. So he said: "The Wen brothers and sisters are all loyal to the country, and they will definitely not help Yu Cheng make waves." But General Wen often put pressure on Wen Yuan, and this time Wen Luo was sealed, I am afraid that he will be even more suppressed. ”

"Why don't you go with the water and retreat first, as Yu Cheng wished?" Listening to his father and son analyzing the situation, Yu Zhao made a plan and proposed: "If I pretend to come forward and persuade his brother and sister to join Yu Cheng's queue." General Wen's pressure was naturally borne by Yu Cheng first, and when the time came to weaken Yu Cheng's faction, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with them inside and outside? ”

Emperor Yuan thought for a moment and felt that this method was very good, but he needed to be cautious. "In this case, after I and the prince have a secret discussion with him, we will discuss how to arrange it in detail."

It was getting late, and Emperor Yuan decided to discuss this today, and wanted to return to the Son of Heaven Hall to deal with official business. Seeing that Chu Zikai got down the secret passage before he was relieved to leave, Yu Zhao packed his things and prepared to go out, but Chu Zikai had been waiting below, and immediately seized the opportunity to come up when he heard that Emperor Yuan was gone. Yu Zhao was startled, and taking advantage of her stunned, Chu Zikai stepped forward to block the door of the study. "You haven't looked at me for so many days......"

Not only that, but every day when she sleeps, she also keeps a vigil for the palace maid, and even if Chu Zikai climbs over the roof, he can only take a sneak look at her. Even if he was in front of Yu Zhao at the moment, he still couldn't get a look from her. "Didn't I make that clear? Your Highness, listen to me, but I can say it again. ”
