Chapter 231: Once the Promise Is Deeper (Part II)

After Emperor Hua retreated from the court, he walked to the palace where Zhao Zijin lived, and Gonggong Jiang followed behind, but Emperor Hua waved his hand and sent him back halfway.

Jiang Gonggong can see that His Majesty seems to be in a good mood after the morning dynasty today, he has waited for two generations of emperors, and he knows how to observe words and emotions best. Watching Emperor Hua go straight to Yuexuan Garden, the corners of Gonggong Jiang's mouth raised a faint smile, Your Majesty has not been easy in the past six months!

Gonggong Jiang thought that as long as the courtiers stopped pressing, His Majesty should be relieved this time. It's just that as soon as he turned around, his faint smile froze for a moment, he knelt down in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother Wan Fujin!"

The person who came was the tired and sluggish Queen Mother, a sickness in the previous period made her haggard, supported by the old mother, standing silently at the entrance of the corridor, watching the figure of Emperor Hua disappear Yuexuanyuan.

"Get up!" The Queen Mother retracted her gaze and said calmly: "Gonggong Jiang, you have been waiting for the first emperor for many years, and you have experienced many ups and downs, and you can be regarded as a senior old man in the palace. Now that you are following Your Majesty around, you can support Your Majesty a lot and remind you one or two. ”

Gonggong Jiang trembled, listening to the Queen Mother's unfathomable words, he was very frightened, bent over, and hung his head. Choked up and said: "The queen mother praised falsely, the old slave did not dare to invite credit, thanks to the great grace of the first emperor, tolerated the stupidity of the old slave, waited beside him, and the old slave was grateful for the kindness of the first emperor all his life." As he spoke, he raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears.

The queen mother's eyes were also red, she knew that Gonggong Jiang's feelings for Emperor Zhen were very deep, and the mutual companionship for many years was by no means as simple as a master and servant.

"The old slave is fortunate to have His Majesty not to abandon him, and he still serves the imperial front." Jiang Gonggong was very grateful, and seemed to be unable to express the emotion. "Your Majesty's wisdom, the rule of the country, and the courtiers' sincerity are the blessings of the great sun and the blessings of all the people."

The Queen Mother listened to him talk so much, but she didn't respond positively, so she had to open up the topic and asked: "Gonggong Jiang has served His Majesty for more than half a year, do you know who your Majesty will bring into the palace?"

The palms in Gonggong Jiang's cuffs were closed, it seemed that he couldn't avoid the Queen Mother's questioning, his eyes flickered, and he replied: "Your Majesty never lets the old slave enter the palace, and this doesn't leave the old slave behind..."

The Queen Mother's face slowly sank, she squinted, and her tone became cold: "Gonggong Jiang, the mourning family respects your meritorious service to the first emperor, and I believe that you will still serve Your Majesty as always, and remind Your Majesty of the inappropriateness." But can't you rely on the old and sell the old, look at Your Majesty's youth and arrogance, and insist on going your own way, without saying a word to persuade and guide correction? If this is a mistake in the life of His Majesty, will he not become a sinner for the ages? ”

"Queen Mother!" Gonggong Jiang trembled and knelt down, and said in fear: "Your Majesty is eloquent, wise and intelligent, how can the old slave be able to influence it?"

"That's it!" The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed, and said, "Your Majesty is stubborn, it is really beyond your persuasion, get up!" The mourning family doesn't blame you, but I just hope that Gonggong Jiang will not be reckless with His Majesty, and when the time is right, send someone to inform the Mourning family, so as to stop His Majesty from messing around! ”

Gonggong Jiang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly replied: "The Queen Mother Mingjian, even if the old slave has the courage borrowed from heaven, he will not dare to disobey His Majesty's wishes." Besides, the old slave is old, his ears are dull and his eyes are dizzy, and his hands and feet are not sharp, so he is afraid that he will delay the Queen Mother's concern for His Majesty's mind, which is a sin! ”

The Queen Mother's eyes sharpened, and she said coldly: "Gonggong Jiang can serve the first emperor and His Majesty, and he really has something extraordinary!" As he spoke, he took a step forward with a cold face, and said, "This mourning family will not go around the bend today, just go into the palace to find out, so as not to embarrass Gonggong Jiang and offend His Majesty."

Gonggong Jiang was shocked, even crawled and rolled, and hurriedly blocked the way of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, don't break through, the palace is heavily defended, and the sword has no eyes, what if you hurt the Queen Mother?" ”

"Why, you dare to stop the mourning family?" The Queen Mother glared at him angrily and asked sharply: "Is it Your Majesty who gave you the authority to dare to be disrespectful to the mourning family?"

"The Queen Mother is angry!" Father-in-law Jiang cried and panicked. "The Queen Mother forgives her sins! Tormenting the old slave like this, the old slave will never give up! ”

Seeing this, the old lady said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, Gonggong Jiang is waiting for His Majesty, and naturally takes everything from His Majesty as the criterion."

The Queen Mother's face slowly eased, and she coughed lightly and said, "Gonggong Jiang got up, because the mourning family was worried for a while, and I blamed you." After a pause, he said: "You go and tell Your Majesty, just say that the mourning family is here, and wait for him at the door!"

Gonggong Jiang sighed in his heart, he really couldn't hide from what should have come, he got up slowly, gave a salute, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother will wait for a while, and the old slave will go to inform Your Majesty." With that, he bowed down and walked towards Yuexuan Yuan heavily.

It is said that Emperor Hua entered Yuexuan Garden, but he didn't see Zhao Zijin in the living room, and when he asked the maid, he knew that she was in a panic, and went to the backyard to practice swords.

Emperor Hua stopped the maids from transmitting the news, and walked to the backyard alone, and as soon as he stepped through the arch of the backyard, he heard the praise of the maids: "Miss is so amazing!" How can you fly so high? ”

"It's beautiful! Like a fairy in the sky, voila! This heavy long sword seemed to flutter lightly in the young lady's hand! ”

Emperor Hua raised his eyes and saw Zhao Zijin dressed in light green clothes, floating in the air, holding a sword in one hand, spinning and flying. Where the sword is powerful, the eyes are dazzling and shining, and the moves are fast and endlessly changing.

Emperor Hua smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at her delicate figure and sword together, fluttering and flying, stunning and feminine.

His heart moved, and he swept away, soaring into the air.

Zhao Zijin was intoxicated by the dance, and felt that his swordsmanship had taken another step, and it was not in vain that the master Kunlun Shendi carefully taught the music notation formula. She thought that if her sister played the rhythm here, this set of swordsmanship would definitely dance superbly. It's a pity that since that time, she has not heard from her, and she doesn't know where she is now? She thought that she had been trapped here for more than half a year, and she couldn't even see her father's face, and she was doing nothing every day, and she was almost suffocated in the idle garden. Fortunately, the master taught her a set of swordsmanship, with the silent recitation of music and rhythm as the key, the idea is derived, the moves are fast, and the human sword is one.

Zhao Zijin thought about it, but he was distracted and in a trance. But he caught a glimpse of a figure flying towards her, hitting her head-on, Zhao Zijin was startled, but he didn't have time to avoid it, so he had to swing his sword to make a move. Romance

Emperor Hua flashed sideways, bypassed her sword moves, turned around, reached out to hold her hand, and clutched the sword in her hand. Facing the breeze, he raised a shining light and danced a circle of swordsmanship.

Zhao Zijin looked up and saw that the person who came was Emperor Hua, who had been embraced by him and fell down cautiously.

Emperor Hua held her to the ground steadily, one of his hands holding her sword, and his thick palm wrapped her slender fingers tightly. His other hand wrapped tightly around her waist, so that Zhao Zijin couldn't move, and could only snuggle in his arms, feeling his hot breath spraying around his earlobe.

After a few maids waiting on the side saluted and said goodbye, they retreated in amusement.

Zhao Zijin's cheeks were crimson, a little overwhelmed, and her heartbeat was like a drum, hitting her heart. In the past few months since he came back, he often came to Yuexuan Garden to dine with her and walk with her. He spoke softly, cared for her, and promised her to stay with her for the rest of her life, seal her mother's ceremony, prosper the country together, and prosper for a lifetime.

Zhao Zijin listened, always silent, she knew very well that he was only guilty of her, and even cherished her, but it had nothing to do with love.

Zhao Zijin always wanted to find an opportunity to confess to him that she had figured it out and could force everything, but love couldn't! She is willing to let go of her thoughts and knots, and just wants to live an ordinary and comfortable life.

But every time she couldn't find an appropriate opportunity to explain things clearly, Zhao Zijin thought, she left the palace and found a quiet place. Build a thatched hut, reclaim wasteland, plant some sparse vegetables, make a garden, raise flowers and trees. One day, her father returned to his hometown, and she accompanied him, and the father and daughter lived together in the fields and farmers, and never asked about the world.

Zhao Zijin never expected that during the days when she was isolated from the world, all the ministers in the court, including the queen mother, couldn't sleep at night and didn't think about food day after day for her business.

"It's boring!" Emperor Hua gradually let go of his hands, and said with a light smile: "Stay up for a few more days, and you will be free!"

Zhao Zijin felt a loss in her heart, it turned out that she had been deceiving herself and planning so much, but she was instantly disrupted by his understatement.

He finally thought about it, and let her go, and let her go completely. Zhao Zijin tried his best to hide his almost out-of-control emotions, bit his lip, and nodded.

Yes! It's time to go, months of fantastic blissful days are finally over. At this time, Zhao Zijin felt a little uncomfortable, and secretly blamed himself for not knowing the blessing in the blessing. He has taken gentle care of her in the past few months, taking care of her, and promising to bear the load, but she has never calmed down and felt his rare tenderness.

The dream woke up, and it was all over.

It's okay this way, while she is still awake and not deep, it is time to cut off this sweet dream.

Zhao Zijin was immersed in the chaotic thoughts of gains and losses, and did not pay attention to Emperor Hua's inquiring gaze, he looked at her melancholy expression, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Zhao Zijin was suddenly shocked, raised his eyes to touch his gaze, and suddenly panicked and shook his head blankly.

Emperor Hua smiled and gently scraped the tip of her nose, and said softly: "Don't worry, this morning, they have already loosened their mouths, and they are not as opposed as before." Let Mr. come to the palace to meet you in a few days, I am thinking about it, find an opportunity, find an excuse, let you announce it as Mr. and his daughter, so that your father and daughter will meet each other in the future! ”

Zhao Zijin was stunned, as if falling into a fog, staring at him.

"Nervous?" Emperor Hua stroked her forehead and brushed up a handful of loose hair and pinned it behind her ear. "Rest assured... With me here, no one can embarrass you! ”

"Your Majesty is drunk?" Zhao Zijin took a step back sharply, his expression solemn. "Why can't Zijin understand a word of today's words?"

Emperor Hua frowned, daring to say so much to him, and she didn't listen to a word? What exactly was she thinking? Could it be that being trapped in this small palace for months has suffocated her, and her brain is not bright?

Emperor Hua stepped forward and said with a stern face: "In the future, remember that you can only concentrate on listening to my words, don't be distracted, don't think indiscriminately, you are only allowed to have one person in your eyes, otherwise, I will punish you severely."

"What?" Zhao Zijin was stunned, oh my God! How could there be such a pampering anger in his tone? She blinked and panicked back.

Emperor Hua was stunned, what's wrong with her? Shouldn't she be so surprised that he is fighting for her freedom and happiness today, so abnormal? Impressed? But why did she look frightened and avoid him so often?

Emperor Hua approached her and said angrily: "Zhao Zijin, you have no way out, and there is no room for regret, so don't think crookedly, obediently wait for me to marry you, and seal the queen mother..."

Zhao Zijin was shocked with a bang in his mind, what did he say? He's going to marry her? Do you want to seal it? Mother of the world?

Could it be that every word he had been saying was not a relief to her? Isn't his tender care for her perfunctory? Is he sincere and determined to seek happiness for her?

Before Zhao Zijin could come back to his senses, there was a panicked gasp from Gonggong Jiang behind him: "Your Majesty, too... The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is here! ”
