Emperor Hongwei and Xu Rui talked secretly for three full hours, until the sun set in the west.

Originally, Emperor Hongwei was in high spirits, and wanted to pull Xu Rui to chat for another night, but later he saw that Xu Rui glanced out of the window a few times from time to time, and then remembered that he hadn't gone home for more than half a year, so he had to give up.

"If you have time, go and see Qingwu, she's been worried about you these days."

Before leaving, Emperor Hongwei suddenly said something as if he was inadvertent, this was the first time he mentioned Princess Qixia in front of Xu Rui, which immediately made Xu Rui's old face blush, and he hurriedly hid.

Emperor Hongwei looked at Xu Rui's embarrassed back, and immediately laughed, and the sound was like a bell, resounding through the hall.

In the middle of the night, Wang Shun walked out from behind the screen and said quietly: "Holy Lord, it's time to eat." ”

Emperor Hongwei stopped laughing and waved his hand at him, but his eyes remained in the place where Xu Rui left, and sighed: "Wang Shunna, you said that I gave Xu Rui words today, is it wrong or right?" ”

Wang Shun said: "The champion Hou has made great contributions, and the saint has not spared his gifts, and he is a model of monarchs and ministers. ”

Emperor Hongwei glanced at Wang Shun and shook his head: "According to my Great Wei etiquette law and system, it is his father's right to give words, in fact, I give it in the name of my father.

It's a pity, if I have such a son, why should I be in such a hurry to get everything done in my hands? There is no one to trust, this is my fault, and it is also my sorrow......"

Wang Shun said with a smile: "Although the saint does not have a son like Xu Rui, he can have a son-in-law like him, and the slave has already made arrangements." ”

Emperor Hongwei was stunned for a moment, pointed at Wang Shun and said with a smile: "You old thing, when will you help people hold the red line?" ”

Wang Shun said with a smile: "The slave maid doesn't want to see the princess being tormented by lovesickness every day, so she makes her own decisions, and asks Your Majesty to forgive her sins." ”

Emperor Hongwei waved his hand: "This matter has been done very well, what is the crime?" Hahahaha......"

Emperor Hongwei laughed again, in high spirits.

"Your Highness, hurry up and prepare, the south study has just ended, Lord Xu should be over soon!"

Green Bamboo rushed into the Sunu Palace in a hurry, and said impatiently to Princess Qixia.

Princess Qixia, who hadn't seen her for a long time, was dressing up in the mirror, her eyes were full of joy, the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, her fingers gently wrapped around the green silk, she was full of anticipation, but she said on her face: "He came to him, what does it matter to me?" ”

"Huh?"

Lu Zhu's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "Your Highness, before Lord Xu came back, you thought about it day and night, why is it that it is none of your business now?" ”

Princess Qixia's face turned red, and she said shyly: "Nonsense, who thinks about him day and night, seeing that you are so positive, isn't it a spring heart?" ”

Luzhu smiled: "Your Highness, the slave maid is just talking nonsense, seeing that you are nervous, and you still say that you don't care about him?" ”

Princess Qixia was even more shy, and said angrily: "you, if you dare to talk nonsense, this palace will give you to those husbands and let you be the companion of the old eunuch!" ”

"Don't, the slave doesn't dare."

Lu Zhu said that he didn't dare, but his face was still smiling: "Okay, your highness says no, it's not, then I'll go and tell the little father-in-law waiting at the door, saying that you don't want to see Lord Xu, let him get away." ”

"You!"

Princess Qixia couldn't be angry, raised her hand and lightly slapped the green bamboo: "Lord Xu is fighting for the country, how can he be so rude?" Since he got the permission of his father and the emperor, he went to the imperial garden to relax, so it didn't hurt to go to the palace to see him, and it happened that there were a few words in the palace that couldn't be filled in, so he just went to ...... Go ask for advice......"

In the end, Princess Qixia was already full of red face and weak mosquito sound.

Lu Zhu laughed and said, "Yes, the slave maid will dress up for His Highness, so that you can go and ask Lord Xu for advice!" ”

She deliberately dragged the four words of asking for advice, and provoked another fist of shame, and hurriedly laughed and begged for mercy.

On the other side, Xu Rui walked out of the south study, followed the little yellow door to prepare to leave the palace, walking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked: "Father-in-law, this is not the way out of the palace, right?" ”

The little father-in-law is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he is already Wang Shun's henchman, and he is very clever, and when he heard Xu Rui's question, he smiled and said: "Lord Qiqi, this is the road to the Imperial Garden, Princess Qixia usually walks there at this time." ”

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, remembering her smiling and delicate appearance, her heart was hot at first, but it was cold again in an instant.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, illuminating him golden, and he was like a sculpture, standing in the midst of the brilliance.

After standing for a moment, Xu Rui finally came back to his senses and shook his head gently: "I just returned to Beijing today, and there are still many things to deal with in the army, so let's visit Her Royal Highness the Princess another day." ”

The little father-in-law was stunned: "Adult......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am tired of my father-in-law sending this official out of the palace, and the affairs in the army cannot be delayed." ”

When it came to the affairs of the army, the little father-in-law didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly led the way and led Xu Rui to the outside of the palace.

Not far away, several fathers-in-law who were on guard saw this scene, their faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly turned around and ran to report the news.

In the plain girl palace, Lu Zhu had just finished dressing up Princess Qixia, looking at the pink peach blossoms in the mirror, fresh and refined appearance, Princess Qixia was very satisfied, and she could see Xu Rui after thinking about it for a while, and her face turned red again.

However, at this moment, a little eunuch rushed in in a panic, and Lu Zhu immediately became excited when he saw him: "Xiao Dongzi, is it that Lord Xu has arrived?" ”

When Princess Qixia heard this, her face tried her best to pretend to be indifferent, but her heart was beating faster and faster, and her ears were even longer erected, listening carefully to Xiao Dongzi's reply.

Xiao Dongzi is also a person who walks beside the nobles all the year round, how can he not see the expectations of the two, and his heart suddenly complains, wishing that he has never come in.

But at the moment, he had no way out, and he couldn't withstand Luzhu's questioning, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "No...... No...... Lord Xu said that the army was busy, and he would make a special trip to visit His Highness another day. ”

"What?"

Lu Zhu was furious when he heard this: "No matter how busy you are in the army, can you still be as busy as Your Highness?" Go, chase him back, and I'll ask him if he really cares about His Highness!" ”

"Green Bamboo!"

Princess Qixia interrupted Luzhu coldly, barely squeezed out a smile, and said to Xiao Dongzi: "Don't listen to Luzhu's nonsense, today's triumph of the army is the busiest time for the commanders, what is wrong with the military affairs first?" You go down first. ”

"Slaves obey!"

Xiao Dongzi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly agreed, and rushed out of the Sunu Palace as if he had fled.

"Your Highness......"

Lu Zhu was still angry in his heart, and his face was full of anger.

Princess Qixia shook her head, and suddenly looked out the window, only to see that the afterglow gradually sank in the west with the red sun, leaving only a brilliant red line.

"Because of fate, we are destined to have heaven and earth, you and I are mortals, why force it?"

As she spoke, a gloomy look appeared on Princess Qixia's pretty face.

"Your Highness......"

Lu Zhu suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and threw himself into Princess Qixia's arms and cried.

Princess Qixia gently stroked her back, and there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was a little more melancholy in that smile.

On the carriage, Xu Rui was also looking at the sunset outside the window in a daze, and the shadow maid suddenly appeared behind him silently and spoke softly.

"Young master, you obviously think about Her Royal Highness the princess day and night, why don't you go to see her?"

Xu Rui came back to his senses and shook his head gloomily: "I also want to see her, and I can't even wait to be separated for a moment, but even I don't know how long I can live, how can I give her happiness?"

Since you can't give her happiness, why bother to provoke and tease again, even if it hurts now, it's better than letting her be widowed in the future......"

"Young master!"

The shadow maid was shocked when she heard this: "Could it be that your body is ......?"

Xu Rui smiled bitterly, pulled open his sleeve cannon, and revealed his left hand.

The shadow maid looked down and gasped.

Xu Rui's left hand was strong and powerful, but it was shaking violently as if he was suffering from Parkinson's disease, and he could barely hold anything, because of the prolonged muscle spasms caused by the oversharpness of the nervous system, and the side effects of genetic drugs had begun to manifest themselves in him.
