Shangguan Zhitao was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the appearance of the comer, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little displeasure: "Cousin, why are you?" ”

"I've been waiting for you here." Richie's tone and expression were tinged with earnest eagerness.

"What are you waiting for me to do?" Shangguan Zhitao frowned almost invisibly, and kept looking around, for fear of being seen by someone, and said impatiently: "If you have something to talk about later, I still have something to do." ”

"Cousin doesn't want to see me like that?" Li Qi looked sad, "Isn't it because of my mother's business, even my cousin looks down on me?" Don't want to talk to me anymore? ”

"Cousin!" Shangguan Zhitao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard this, but he still suppressed his anger and persuaded with good words, "How can I be that kind of person." ”

Li Qi was happy again, "I knew my cousin wouldn't be so ruthless, but we didn't talk anymore after the Wuzun game......"

"But this is not a place to speak, what can I do if I am seen!"

"What are you afraid of, we are innocent, and ......" Li Qi blushed a little, "We have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, don't talk a few more words, it is the friendship of the past, and our two families should have been close to each other." ”

Shangguan Zhitao almost jumped up and immediately interrupted him, "Cousin, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, this is related to my reputation, you can not care but I still want to marry." ”

"You're going to marry me anyway!" Richie blurted out.

Shangguan Zhitao was furious and shouted, "Cousin! What exactly do you mean? Who said I was going to marry you! ”

"When you were a child, you said ......"

"Nope!" Shangguan Zhitao retorted without thinking, "How can you take what happened when you were a child, and ask your cousin to respect yourself." ”

Shangguan Zhitao snorted angrily and was about to pass over Li Qi, but was stopped by the other party with open arms and forced her into a corner.

She couldn't help but sneer, "Cousin, what are you doing?" Do you have to use force if you can't get married? ”

"Cousin, what you said hurt my heart, even if what I said when I was a child was not true, but don't you always know my heart for you?"

"I don't know!" Shangguan Zhitao categorically denied it.

"Cousin really doesn't know? Otherwise, why should I save you last time in the sea of fire! ”

"I thought it was just a brother-sister relationship!"

Although Li Qi stopped him, Shangguan Zhitao really didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of inviting a palace maid, so that her reputation would be really ruined, "Cousin, you still let me leave quickly, otherwise I will tell my uncle to be careful of picking your skin." ”

"What am I afraid of! I don't even want my life for you! Li Qi pulled down his collar, pointed to a scar on his chest and said, "Look, this is what saved you from being burned by fire last time." You still don't understand my mind! ”

Shangguan Zhitao didn't look at it, twisted his head, and suddenly tears rained down, "Hurry up and pull up your clothes, what does this look like, let my daughter who has not left the cabinet see a man's ...... You're clearly humiliating me! ”

Seeing Shangguan Zhitao sobbing, Li Qi immediately panicked, pulled up his clothes, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her tears, "Cousin, I just want you to know that in this world, except for your parents, I am really good to you." ”

"Are you really good to me? Cousin, are you really good for me? It's clear that he wants to use what happened last time to coerce me into making a promise! Shangguan Zhitao sobbed.

"No, no, I didn't mean that......"

"Then what do you mean by stopping me in disregard of my name?" Shangguan Erya's shoulders shook, "And I was laughed at so much just now, I'm afraid I won't be worthy ......of you cousin in the future."

"Why don't you deserve it!" Li Qi gently coaxed, "Cousin, it's all about me, it's true that I'm too reckless today, but every time I saw you before, you deliberately dodged, I thought you disliked me and didn't want to see me, no matter what others thought of you, I didn't care!" ”

"But I care!" Shangguan Zhitao cried and stomped his feet, "If you are really good to me, you should avenge me." ”

"Good, good...... I'll do whatever you say for you, as long as you can understand my mind. ”

Shangguan Zhitao immediately stopped her tears, raised her head, and smiled at him, just that glance made Li Qi look heartbroken, she said angrily: "Shangguan Erya, that slut humiliated my reputation, cousin, you should..."

She deliberately leaned forward, Li Qi only felt a fragrance on his face, and he agreed no matter what the hanging peach said.

Shangguan Zhitao threw a wink at him after speaking, "Everything depends on my cousin." ”

Li Qi nodded in a trance, "Don't worry, leave it all to me......"

Shangguan Zhitao smiled and said nothing, waved her hand at Li Qi, and when the other party disappeared in front of her, she immediately threw the handkerchief in her hand on the ground, and stepped on her feet in disgust, and said hatefully: "It's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat!" I don't dare to think about me without looking at my identity, it's just the same as Shangguan Erya! actually made me miss meeting the imperial grandson! Slut! Just let you dog-eat-dog! ”

After speaking, Shangguan Zhitao stroked the messy sideburns on his forehead and returned to the main hall as if nothing had happened.

※※※

In the wind platform, the emperor withdrew all the palace guards, and only he and Shangguan Erya were playing chess cross-legged on the soft couch in the main hall.

Shangguan Erya thought for a long time about the white son who had fallen, and the emperor laughed, "I'm going to kill all sides." ”

His sunspots fell, forcing the whites into the corners, and the sunspots on the chessboard were already the trend of the times.

Shangguan Erya sighed: "Grandpa Huang's chess skills are exquisite, and Erya admits defeat." ”

"Erya, you didn't give it to me on purpose, did you?"

"No, Erya is not your opponent at all." Shangguan Erya said obediently.

The emperor's tone was full of doubt, "I think you don't have the aura of your childhood......"

Shangguan Erya's smile remained unchanged, "It's Erya who is stupid." ”

"No, you're not stupid." The emperor then smiled and said: "On the contrary, you are very smart, I know that you have been spurned by the world all these years and have been withholding it." I'm glad you lived up to your grandmother's expectations, you're doing well now, and you can rest easy when I'm gone."

"Grandpa Huang, you will definitely live a long life."

"Don't comfort me." The emperor threw Bai Zi into the chess box and sat on the soft couch, "I know my body better than anyone else, and my life will not be long." ”

Shangguan Erya suddenly didn't know how to speak, according to the calculation of the previous life, the emperor will die after she and Lu next year.

"You don't have to be too sad, it's good, I also want to go to your grandmother as soon as possible and tell her that I have been very lonely in the past few years, and I miss the scene when we worked hard together in the past......"

Shangguan Erya only quietly listened to the emperor's reminiscences of the past, "Your grandmother is really a wonderful person, I have never seen a woman who knows so much as her, at that time I was very disapprehensive and self-esteem did not admit defeat, but gradually I was impressed by your grandmother's knowledge, she can go to the battlefield as a woman, and understand the gossip of celestial phenomena, very mysterious and desirable...... She is the biggest regret and the greatest blessing in my life. She taught me to make trade-offs, I used to want to have both the country and the beauty, but she didn't compromise......"

The emperor seems to have returned to the scene of the year, "She said that being a brother and friend can be a lifetime, only loyalty to me and nothing else, my hatred, even took away her military power, but she didn't complain, and then I had a queen, with so many concubines, seeing those pickled harem battles, I finally understood that she was right, and that kind of life was just a humiliation for her." ”

How could Shangguan Erya not understand this truth, she rejected Ji Xinian again and again, isn't it because of this reason.

A lifetime in the palace, even if it is a lifetime and a couple, it is no match for the pain of painting the ground as a prison.

"Your grandmother lives more freely than me, she only lives a lifetime with her husband, and she has no regrets when she dies, even if she has confidence in you, but I am about to die, but I am still worried that my son will fight to the death for the throne!"

Shangguan Erya's eyebrows jumped, and she saw the emperor slowly looking at her, with wisdom in his eyes, "Are you surprised?" Erya, how did you know about King Qin's conspiracy? ”

"It's Grandmother." Shangguan Erya had already thought of a rhetoric, in fact, when the emperor called her alone, she knew that she would definitely ask about it, "She gave me a dream, King Qin rebelled, killed his brother and killed his father, and was unkind and unkind, so when he met the emperor's grandson again, he immediately said it, and he didn't tell you in person that he was worried about ......"

"Afraid I won't believe it?" The emperor's eyes flashed, "There is only one thing I didn't listen to your grandmother, and which of the others didn't believe her...... What's more, there is something in this world that I don't know! ”

"Grandpa Huang is wise."

"No, if I were wise, I wouldn't have always appeased King Qin's father and son!" The emperor sighed, "Forget it, they are all here to collect debts." ”

Shangguan Erya saw that the emperor was reluctant to mention this matter, so he knew that he must have an idea in his heart.

"But I still have one regret, I should have made an engagement to you and Nian'er despite your grandmother's obstruction, otherwise I wouldn't have let your confused father give you a random marriage."

Every time the emperor mentions Shangguan Changsheng, there is a light in his eyes, "Her temperament is both strong and stubborn, your grandmother is worried that you will not be satisfied with this marriage when you grow up in the future, and now you also see that my grandson is also a talent, although his personality is a little awkward, and he had a serious illness when he was a child, but I can see his heart for you, do you really not look down on it at all?" If you think it's good, I'll immediately make a decree to help you get out of the marriage! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an eerie silence in the room.

Shangguan Erya could hear the existence of the third person, she only pursed her lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Grandpa Huang, I am very grateful for the decision made by you and my grandmother back then, since I understood that the road is to be taken by oneself and should not be compromised, otherwise it will harm others and myself, I have already planned everything." I'm willing to play for you and the Imperial Grandson, but please let me choose. ”

She took out half of the blood jade on her neck and put it on the small table, "I don't know what this blood jade is for, but it must be amazing, I have failed your love, please take it back." ”

"Hey." The emperor sighed weakly, "You and your grandmother are really alike, very similar......"

He picked up the half piece of blood jade, and the old fingers slowly rubbed it, "Your grandmother didn't even tell you this, she really respects your wishes, and you also saw the half of the blood jade on Xi Nian's body, and this together is our Nanliang's tiger talisman, this is your grandmother's thing, you don't need to return it to me." ”
