Ouyang Zhen stepped up to the attic and saw a tall back standing in front of the window, the man turned around, only to see his sword eyebrows into the sideburns, his eyes were deep, and his face was as handsome as jade, it was Chu Huotian who had been waiting for a while.

Ouyang Zhen silently stepped forward to salute. Li Jingcai and Wan Hui retreated.

"Come and sit." Chu Huotian stepped forward and took her hand, and said with a slight smile: "Come and eat some more with me." As he spoke, he unfastened her cloak.

Ouyang Zhen followed him to the table submissively, but saw that there were already several plates of hot dishes on the table, fragrant, and there were two glasses of water and wine next to them.

She raised her eyes to look at him, but saw Chu Huotian staring at her, with a gentle smile on her eyebrows, as if she had done something proud.

Ouyang Zhen's heart moved, and he lowered his head and asked, "Isn't Master Hou going to Sister Liu?" ”

Chu Huotian smiled low when he heard this, his laughter was clear and mellow, like fine wine, which made people feel intoxicated: "You women will only remember these in your hearts? ”

Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "That's a concubine's small weapon." After speaking, he picked up chopsticks and cooked vegetables for him.

Chu Huotian looked up at her again, her face was as white as snow, her delicate chin was sharper and thinner, she sighed slightly, and asked, "Is the illness all cured?" Can you get used to living in the house? ”

Ouyang Zhen's hand holding the chopsticks shook slightly, and then he said, "The illness has been cured." Several sisters are also willing to take care of the concubines, and the Hou Ye can rest assured. ”

Chu Huotian saw her like this, and he didn't ask any more, Ouyang Zhen also had thoughts, and the two of them were speechless for a while. At the end of the meal, there was silence.

After Li Jing withdrew the meal and served the tea, Chu Huotian took a sip of tea before sighing slightly relaxed.

Ouyang Zhen said softly: "Master Hou has a lot of opportunities, and he should rest more." ”

Chu Huotian put down the teacup, squinted his eyes slightly, and said to her, "Come here." (with redacting))

Ouyang Zhen didn't know why, and was stunned.

Chu Huotian gently twisted the acacia jade tied around her slender waist, lowered his head, and slowly spoke: "Now above the court, the party struggle is becoming more and more complicated, and it is really difficult and dangerous...... The queen's party is now moving around again, wooing officials everywhere...... There is also the military power in my hands, one more day is a one-day risk, but if I don't take power, it is a death. Many things can be difficult to decide, and you don't know how to decide. ”

He chattered all the way, the more Ouyang Zhen listened, the more frightened he became, he went from the discord between the faces and hearts of the hundred officials at the banquet on the day of the triumphant return to the court, until he said that the imperial history platform of the court in recent days was divided into two factions.

How one faction participates in him, and how the other faction treats Guozhang and the party, all kinds of things, which one of them is said, Ouyang Zhen can't wait to become deaf and dumb immediately.

But he still spoke slowly, and he didn't wake up to what to say or what not to say.

Ouyang Zhen's beautiful face had already changed several colors, and finally took a look at the gap in his speech, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Master Hou, you can't understand these words. ”

Chu Huotian raised his head and suddenly smiled: "Yes, why do you want to say this to you today." But when I see you, I want to talk. (with deletion)

She fell asleep in his arms.

In the haze, she seemed to feel his breath falling densely on her cheeks, brows, and lips.

If he wasn't the Marquis of Chu Ding, who was in power in the Chu State......

If she wasn't the concubine of the Huagong Palace......

Whether everything will be better or not, no one knows.

Fate entwined the two of them together, and from then on, his fate involved her fate, and her fate depended on him.

Step by step until the earth is desolate.

……

Early the next morning, when the genius was bright, Ouyang Zhen got up, but Chu Huotian was still asleep.

Ouyang Zhen turned his head inadvertently, the shallow spring morning light was hitting his face through the small window of the attic, his profound facial features softened a lot in his sleep, as if he was still dreaming of something, the corners of his cold and hard mouth in the past were slightly upturned, and he pulled a light smile.

Ouyang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. After a few months together, it turned out to be the first time she looked at him so closely.

The delicate cold fingers touched his eyebrows, his lips, carefully traced his outline, and a trace of strange thoughts passed through his heart, is he Chu Dinghou, who waved 100,000 troops and destroyed Huaguo?

He is clearly just an ordinary man, with affection and desire. will smile and cook vegetables for her, and will whisper to persuade her to eat more.

She was especially in a trance, but she didn't know that Chu Huotian had opened her eyes slightly and looked at her.

"What do you think?" He opened his mouth lazily, propping himself up halfway, and the skull slipped off, revealing his muscular chest. Ouyang Zhen came back to his senses suddenly, and when he saw him like this, he immediately turned red, and hurriedly turned his head: "Master Hou, it's not early, the concubine should go." ”

Chu Huotian smiled, hugged her, and sighed: "Okay, you go back first, and I'll see you later." You have to take care of yourself in the house, I see that your inner servant Dexuan is very safe, if there is any difficulty in the future, ask him to hand over a message to Jingcai, and I will know. ”

When Ouyang Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Lord Hou for your mercy." After thinking about it, he said carefully: "The concubine looks at Dexuan as a piece of beautiful jade, if you can get the guidance of a famous teacher, you will also be a talent in the future, what does Master Hou think?" ”

Chu Huotian pulled off a robe, put it on himself, and nodded when he heard the words: "Although he is only an internal prisoner, I think he is talented and intelligent, and it is good to read more books, so I asked him to follow a few gentlemen in the east, usually serve pen and ink, and learn more." ”

Ouyang Zhen thanked him happily when he heard this: "The concubine thanked the Hou Ye for Dexuan." ”

Chu Huotian saw her making a big salute, and couldn't help laughing: "When something makes you happy like this, what's the matter, don't you want to ask Ben Hou for any reward?" ”

Ouyang Zhen stepped forward to change his clothes with a smile, and said with a slight sneer: "Where will the concubine ask for any reward, there is nothing lacking in the courtyard." Master Hou, don't think of the concubine body as such a small thing. ”

Chu Huotian saw her smiling, and couldn't help but be very happy in his heart, and hugged her and kissed her lightly: "It's good if you're happy." ”

Ouyang Zhen blushed and hurriedly broke away gently, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Jingcai and Wan Hui standing by the door out of the corner of his eye, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

When Chu Huotian saw the two of them coming, he also put away the laughter on his face, solemnized his face, and drank lightly at Li Jingcai: "Stinky boy, why are you standing aside and not coming to serve?" ”

Li Jingcai held back a smile and stepped forward quickly: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid are afraid of disturbing the Hou Ye, then the crime should be ten thousand deaths." ”

Chu Huotian glared at him, and Li Jingcai hurriedly lowered his head and changed his clothes for him.

Ouyang Zhen was helped into the inner room by Wan Hui to freshen up, and Wan Hui also looked at her with a smile, helping her comb her hair while constantly looking at her face.

Ouyang Zhen became more and more embarrassed by her, so he had to glare at her helplessly. Wan Hui smiled in a low voice, her hands and feet becoming faster and more agile.

The two of them took care of it, and Chu Huotian said to Ouyang Zhen: "Ask Li Jing to send you out, don't mess with the eyes of others." Ouyang Zhen nodded, and asked worriedly: "Master Hou has no one to follow, it's not very convenient." ”

Chu Huotian said indifferently: "The subordinates are here, don't worry." With that, he stepped down to the attic.

Ouyang Zhen hurriedly followed, and Li Jing beckoned an attendant to whisper a few words, and then hurriedly led Ouyang Zhen out of the garden. Along the way, the three of them walked silently, Li Jingcai chose the small path and turned around, but he didn't meet anyone, but Ouyang Zhen only felt dizzy, and he didn't know how long he walked before he arrived in front of the "Jingyun Pavilion".

Li Jingcai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and said, "Madam, the slave and maid have retreated." With that, he hurried away again.

Ouyang Zhen was helped by Wan Hui to the courtyard, and Wan Hui saw that there was no one around, so she laughed in a low voice: "The slave maid sees that the Hou Ye is very interested in his wife, but in this way, it is like cheating." ”

Ouyang Zhen's face was red, her beautiful face was flushed, like the morning glow reflecting the sky, she twisted Wan Hui's arm lightly: "Auntie also came to laugh at me." Really. ”

Wan Hui couldn't help laughing, bent over and said, "Okay, don't laugh at Madame, if you continue to laugh, Madame's face will be familiar." ”

Ouyang Zhen was stunned, and hurriedly went back to the house, as soon as he entered the house, he saw that Ming Ying was walking out of it with a puzzled face, and saw Ouyang Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Madam, where have you been, the slave maid was worried about it all night last night, and he didn't dare to inquire, and he said he didn't know when he asked Dexuan." ”

Ouyang Zhen didn't reply to her, only lowered his head and went in, Wan Hui put his heels on her heels, and said to Ming Ying: "Okay, don't ask, if someone asks in the future, just say that Mrs. is resting in the courtyard." Don't say that Madame didn't come back all night. Remember. ”

Mingying was about to ask again, but Wan Hui hurriedly pushed her out: "Go and prepare breakfast, Madame hasn't eaten yet." ”

The warbler had no choice but to retreat.

Wan Hui entered the inner room and saw Ouyang Zhen sitting at the table in a daze. Wan Hui smiled lightly and stepped forward: "Madame, don't be stunned, you should be happy." ”

Ouyang Zhen came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Auntie is right, she should be happy." ”

Wan Hui saw that she didn't belong to her face, she sighed long in her heart, and comforted: "Madame should be more open, a woman's life follows a man, and where a man goes, a woman will follow." Now that Mrs. has followed Chu Dinghou and come to this place, she should make herself happier. The slave maid looked at the Hou Ye and still cared about the lady, unlike other ladies, if the lady could add a man and a woman to the Hou Ye in the future, it would be better......"
