"Nest." Mingda laughed, repeating these two words in his mouth, "It's been years since anyone said that about me. ”

"Your Royal Highness is a prince, there are many people among the courtiers who revere and support you, and the people praise you even more, Your Majesty did not deliberately suppress it, and you naturally live freely." Ah Si smiled softly with a glass of wine: "But Your Highness, since you met Miss Yun, it is not the same as before. ”

Mingda shook the wine glass in his hand, and asked with an empty look, "What's the difference?" ”

"Without the love of men and women, you are still His Royal Highness King Ning, who is respectful of the wind and moon. Once you find that you have these desires that you shouldn't have, the first thing you think of is to get rid of them. Ah Si usually talks the least, but in fact, he is the smartest one among the many guards around Mingda, and he can guess the end of every step of Mingda's path and what the purpose is: "So when Miss Yun proposed to enter the palace, you were not completely unaware of your feelings for Miss Yun, but you instinctively rejected yourself to fall in love with a girl with Your Majesty, so you acquiesced in her leaving the palace, right?" ”

The shaking movement of Mingda's hand stopped, and he uncontrollably remembered the shallow smile on the corner of Yun Qing's mouth between talking and laughing, as if he didn't care about anything.

"When he was young, the king had already taken away his father's favor and connivance...... If he hadn't been harsh on Yun Qing, I would never have been on the opposite side of him. Mingda sighed lowly, picked up the wine jar again, and drank it in a few gulps, with a shallow flush on his face: "This king originally thought so. ”

His throat rolled: "But seeing Yun Qing trapped in the palace where you can't see the edge at a glance, just like the mother concubine back then, I am always unwilling." Why has my mother been trapped in that gorgeous cage for half her life, and now the woman I like will continue to do so? ”

"Has Your Highness ever wondered if Miss Yun herself would like to stay in that cage?" Ah Sidao: "After all, she spent more than ten years before her like this. ”

Mingda glanced at him in surprise: "You know this, too?" ”

Ah Si said: "Miss Yun's appearance and bearing are definitely not what ordinary women can have. In addition, the envoys of Yu Guo recently entered Beijing to find the eldest princess, and his subordinates probably guessed something. ”

"She was born in the court, and more than ten years have passed, maybe she really doesn't yearn for freedom." Mingda lowered his eyes and rubbed the body of the wine jar: "But she is such an idle and sparse woman......"

Ah Si sneered: "But she is such an idle and sparse woman, His Royal Highness always thinks that she can't let go, so she is looking for excuses again and again, saying that she wants to save her, but in fact, she is reluctant, is what her subordinates said right?" ”

Mingda held the wine jar and tightened his hands again and again, and suddenly picked up the jar in mid-air, letting the wine flow into his mouth like flowing water.

His face, neck, and clothes were full of wine, and the room was filled with the smell of wine. He drank it as if he didn't notice it.

The three altars on the table were all drunk in a short time.

Mingda half-leaned on the table, holding an empty wine glass and shouting, "Where's the wine?" Ah Si Ah Qi, go and get the wine, this is the daughter of 30 years, good wine! ”

Ah Si couldn't hold back any longer, picked up the empty wine jar and threw it to the ground.

The sound of the ceramic shattering broke Mingda's drunken words, Ah Siyi pulled Mingda up, his eyes were red and asked, "Look at what you have become now?" I didn't even dare to fight for the girl I liked, and I found a thousand excuses to see her behind my back to talk to her, what nonsense I wanted her to be free and comfortable? Isn't it reluctant to give her up in your bones? ”

"Where did His Royal Highness King Ning go? Such a timid man is worthy of our careful assistance for so many years, and worthy of your great military exploits on the battlefield in the past?! ”

His roar spread throughout the courtyard, and Mingda's voice calling for wine was gone, and only Ah Si's rapid breathing remained in the entire room.

The atmosphere was almost suffocatingly quiet.

Mingda leaned on the table and looked at Ah Si's face, it was a plain-looking, calm young man with few words, he was his most loyal and capable subordinate, he was angrily tugging at his collar, angrily asking why he was so cowardly.

Yunqing once said that she envied King Ning the most and lived a more comfortable life than Fu Mingli, the emperor, but in fact, Mingda has been far away from the word comfort over the years.

The first emperor attached too much importance to King Ning when he was alive, but after his death, it brought great backlash to this most beloved son, and the courtiers loyal to His Majesty were very jealous of him in private, closely monitoring his every move, and only waiting for the slightest inappropriate words and deeds, he would fall from the clouds in an instant.

Many people and subjects called him a virtuous king, but excessive praise seemed to be more like a kind of killing for his current situation, and he must be cautious in his words and actions, for fear that if there is little inappropriateness, it will lead to the discussion of the people and the suspicion of the emperor.

Every time he does something, he repeatedly reflects on whether his words and deeds are bad, and he almost forgets what King Xiao Ning, who became famous and willful in the past, was like.

He Fu Mingda prides himself on being talented and learned, but I don't know when he has become so unrecognizable.

……

"The clothes and jewelry are cleaned up by the palace maid, and Sister Yun will see if there are any commonly used items to bring." Fu Mingli stood in front of the wardrobe and frowned at Yun Qing, who was packing his luggage in front of him.

"Anyway, I don't have much to do, so why bother others if I can do it myself." Yun Qing put a light purple Luo skirt into the box on the couch: "Your Majesty has time here to tease me to pack my luggage, it is better to go back to the imperial study to approve a few folds." Yun Qing turned his head as he spoke, and raised his eyebrows at Fu Mingli behind him: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty the Emperor, have you thought about it and are you sure you want to take me to Qiuqiu?" Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape? ”

"Sister Yun, don't worry, after arriving at the paddock, I will definitely stay by your side day and night, and will never give you any chance to escape." Fu Mingli picked up a handkerchief on the couch and reached out to rub it on the embroidery a few times: "This is a lotus?" Sister Yun's handkerchief seems to have only this kind of embroidery, is there anything to say? ”

"There's nothing special about it. I heard my father say that when I was still in my infancy, the nurse who took care of me thought that the Qing character in my name was the green of Qinglian, so she embroidered a lotus flower on each of my handkerchiefs. ”

Fu Mingli nodded in a deep voice, and when he came out of the house, he turned his head and instructed Wang Jin beside him: "From today on, I will also embroider a lotus flower on the cuffs of each of my robes." He took out the handkerchief he had just taken out and handed it to Wang Jin: "If you see it, just embroider it like this, and don't make any mistakes in embroidering." ”

Wang Jin responded again and again, stretched out his hand and wanted to take the handkerchief, but was slapped away by Fu Mingli with one hand: "What are you doing?" This handkerchief is expensive, don't get dirty! ”

Wang Jin: "......"
