It is already autumn, the emperor's dormitory is surrounded by several ginkgo trees, at this moment, the yellow sky lingers around the dormitory, and the golden palace complements each other, it looks noble and elegant.

In the middle of the yard there is a ginkgo tree that is thicker than other ginkgo trees, and his body is about the size of four people hugging each other.

The eunuch summoned outside the door hurriedly ran to the courtyard with small steps, and whispered after saluting Emperor Qing respectfully: "Your Majesty, the prince has arrived." ”

Emperor Qing glanced down at him, hesitated for a moment, and then was silent for a long time before he said, "Pass him in." ”

Jingxing entered the courtyard gate, and saw Emperor Qing standing in the courtyard in civilian clothes, facing the ginkgo tree. Jingxing knelt on the ground and saluted, but what he was waiting for was the usual silence of Emperor Qing.

Knowing that Sun Qian'er's matter will not be solved too easily this time, Jingxing is also ready for a long-term confrontation, and now Mingzhou is going to the Wu Kingdom for him, and the Ming King on the bright side no longer exists, if the emperor wants to use his identity to restrain him, the beginning will also change, and the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken.

Because of Jing Yue, he has been pinched for so long, and this time he will not let him knead and pinch it flat no matter what. has been in Minglang County for so long, if he doesn't have his own plans, then he, the prince, can be regarded as a vain.

After a long silence, Emperor Qing opened his mouth to let Jingxing get up.

He sat in the rocking chair next to him, the waiter brought two cups of hot tea, and Jingxing was also given a seat. I thought that Emperor Qing would tell him about Sun Qian'er straight to the point, but I didn't expect Emperor Qing to say that it was not the case.

He said, "This tree seems to have grown here when I was very young, didn't it?" ”

Jing Xing didn't expect him to ask himself such a thing, and he also turned his head to look at the ginkgo tree.

In Jing Xing's impression, there are few good memories when he was a child, it seems that the most memory is to find ways to find something to eat, although the current emperor was not favored at that time, but it is not as miserable as them.

Xu is Emperor Qing's mother at that time in order to give her children a breath of more energy, in front of the first emperor to get more favor, so Emperor Qing's childhood was almost spent in confined learning. He rarely had time to play with his siblings, and spent most of his time studying, either endorsing or practicing martial arts.

Jing Xing still remembered that he was very envious of Emperor Qing at that time, because he had the care of his mother and a teacher, all of which were things he dreamed of, but he had to fight with many palace people every day for food and clothing.

"Do you know why I chose you?"

Abrupt voice, inexplicable question, Jing Xing's hand holding the teacup slowly tightened, he thought for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Emperor Qing stretched out his hand and pointed to the trunk of the tree: "Remember?" There was once a very precious thing buried there. ”

Jing Xing followed the direction of his finger and looked at that place, and a dusty memory that had been sealed for many years inexplicably flashed in his mind.

After a while, he was a little stunned and said, "Brother Huang still remembers?" ”

Emperor Qing sneered: "In your eyes, is my memory so bad? ”

Jing Xing didn't even dare to say it, Emperor Qing's eyes had a softness that Jing Xing had never seen, and it seemed that for a moment he returned to that scene at that time, looking for his happiness at that time.

"The matter of Princess Hezhou, you must know it in your heart?"

It's time to come or come, Jing Xing knows how much, but he doesn't understand what Emperor Qing said before.

"The minister already has a heart, and the kindness of Princess Hezhou is not blessed by the minister." Jing Xing put the teacup on the table in front of him, lowered his head and responded in a calm voice.

I don't know why, when he said this, the words "This is my man" suddenly echoed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

However, the sound of Emperor Qing putting the teacup on the table quickly made him smile, and he thought that Emperor Qing would be angry and scold him and punish him again. Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing chuckled and said, "I, the king of Ming, always seem to be so popular." First the witch Chonghua of the witch country, and now it is Sun Qian'er, the princess of Hezhou, even when she was a child, Jingyue seemed to be closer to you, and those sisters who came to the palace to play seemed to be close to you. ”

Jingxing didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Qing's gourd, but now he began to reminisce about the past, so he had no choice but to say: "Probably because the ministers are bullying some." ”

Emperor Qing chuckled, "Your sweetheart, if I guessed correctly, it's that Wei girl, right?" ”

Jingxing's brows furrowed, and he knelt down almost immediately and said, "It's none of her business, please ask the imperial brother to ......"

Emperor Qing raised his hand to interrupt his words, squinted at Jing Xing who was standing in the backlight, and sighed after a long time: "You know, none of the people in this palace can marry the person you want to marry, and there is no one who can marry the person you want to marry, you are not Jing Yue, you should know the severity." ”

Only then did Jingxing understand what Emperor Qing meant, and his feelings changed from the tough style of the past to Huairou?

The emperor said in such a low voice, if Jingxing doesn't see good, he will accept it, isn't this a challenge to authority? The father-in-law next to him had received Jingxing's favor, and he was afraid that Jingxing would not understand the meaning, so he hurriedly added some water to his teacup and said: "The emperor's painstaking efforts, the prince should also understand one or two." ”

If this is put on other things, Jing Xing is afraid that he will be taken away by Emperor Qing, but in this matter, Jing Xing will not let an inch. Just as he was about to refute, Emperor Qing said: "Your sweetheart, you can keep it, this princess of Hezhou, I didn't want it, and she asked for it herself, it's not too much to give a side room, so you can do it." ”

Seeing that this matter was going to be settled like this, Jing Xing immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not as simple as the main room and the side room, the minister has no feelings for the princess at all, if he marries home, isn't it delaying the princess and wronging the princess?" Besides, the minister already has a heart and can't be distracted to take care of her, so I'm afraid that the princess will be wronged with the minister. ”

Emperor Qing's originally kind eyes slowly became sharp, he is the emperor, he hates others for violating his orders the most, not to mention that now he is still good at persuading, but I didn't expect Jingxing to know what to do!

The waiter next to him turned white, and kept making faces with Jing Xing, but Jing Xing didn't look at him at all.

He had already thought about taking all the punishments, no matter what it was, this step, he must not retreat, he could not lose his trust in front of Wei Rui, if he lost his trust this time, he was afraid that in the future, Wei Rui would not trust him anymore.

Emperor Qing sat up straight, as if he was about to get angry, but he saw the summoned person running in in a hurry, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Nahezhou, she broke in!" ”

Emperor Qing glanced at the chamberlain, and then said to Jing Xing: "Look at the good things you have done, I will tell you again, if you don't handle this matter well, not only will I not be able to spare you, but she will not even be able to escape with your so-called sweetheart!" You'd better think about it! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Qian'er broke in with the attendants who blocked her, and as soon as she came in, she saw Jing Xing kneeling on the ground, so she rushed forward and pulled him up, and said to the stunned Emperor Qing: "I heard that you sent someone to call him to give us a marriage?" ”

Emperor Qing had never seen such a girl, so he was a little stunned for a while, and only reacted after a while. Jing Xing had already interrupted Sun Qian'er's words: "Why is the princess messing around here, you Hezhou was rude first, and now you are rude later, do you not take my Emperor Yin in your eyes?" Or don't you take my big Yin in your eyes? ”

Jing Xing said this mercilessly, wanting Sun Qian'er to feel that he was not so good, so he naturally gave up this marriage.

But Sun Qian'er, who was still menacing and seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, was unexpectedly quiet after his roar, and after a while, she lowered her head and apologized.

Emperor Qing was originally a little unhappy about Hezhou giving away people but not agreeing with the eight characters, but he was the one who named Sun Qian'er at the beginning, and in order to ask Sun Qian'er, he specially abandoned these cumbersome customs, but he didn't want to bring people here.

Therefore, he felt a little guilty about Sun Qian'er, but as the head of a country, this kind of untimely guilt should not exist, so his intention can also be ignored. It's just that now, looking at this girl again, I have some thoughts about letting her live a good life and make her happy.

That's why he opened his mouth to let Jing Xing settle for one or two, or persuade him with good words, if not, he was afraid that Jing Xing would be even more unwilling, but he didn't expect this girl to chase after him and make such a scene.

After Jingxing shouted, Sun Qian'er also knew that she should not put her princess on the shelf here, so she said to Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty, I don't need to worry about the matter with Jingxing, I am really sorry for the matter of my birthday, but it is not something I can change, and now the emperor and his sister Qin Se and Ming are the scenes that I and Hezhou want to see the most." As for my affairs, the emperor shouldn't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself. ”

Emperor Qing frowned, he was silent for a long time, hesitated to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he said, "Then let it be." ”

Jing Xing was a little surprised when he heard what Sun Qian'er said, and after seeing the emperor's promise, his eyes widened in shock.

Emperor Qing didn't want to worry about these things, so he found an excuse and threw the two people back.

When she walked out of the palace with Sun Qian'er, and was about to separate, Sun Qian'er, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "I, a Hezhou woman, if I want to marry you, I will marry you openly." I want you to marry me willingly, not to submit to anyone's orders, wait, one day, you will accept me!" ”

Jing Xing stood there and listened to the words, but he didn't care much, he just thought that he happened to pass by the pastry shop, and happened to bring Wei Rui her favorite pastries.

And Wei Rui, who was still in the store, received a letter inexplicably, and when she opened it, it was a war letter from Sun Qian'er!
