"What if this king does not agree to drink with you today?" He asked.

I pinched the folding fan to fan him to please him, and at the same time squinted my eyes and calmly threatened: "Presumably, His Royal Highness King Chong'an also knows that this Shoufu has been powerful and hot recently, if you reject this Shoufu again today, then I can't guarantee that I will have to remind His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"What do you want to do?"

I met his eyes, and even though it was the first time I had knocked on a bamboo, I forced myself to calm down, and pretended to be relaxed: "The little girl you just saw in the yard is really lovely. This Shousuke, a woman, feels itchy when she speaks. ”

Watching the pool of peach blossom water in his eyes gradually freeze, I couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness can also realize the seriousness of the matter?" His Majesty the Emperor has some feelings for you, otherwise he would not have left you that luxurious boathouse, and if she was jealous, she would definitely not hurt you, but this girl...... Hey, you said that if Your Majesty knew that you were in this deep palace, the dean sighed and hugged you, your maiden girl, wouldn't be able to go to the palace? ”

"You just eavesdropped on my conversation with her?" His brow tightened.

I have witnessed the heroic deeds of the ink robe in Nanguo Mansion who would rather drag me to the lake than let others slaughter me, and I am really afraid that he would rather bend than bend and die in love with that Wanwan, so when I saw it, I tightened my soft clothes, reached over and brushed his silk shirt, and pretended to be aggrieved: "Your Highness, don't be angry, you were seriously injured in order to help me buy back Xiyuan when you were in Nanguo Mansion, and I haven't thanked you yet." This month, my host has sent you countless posts, and you don't have a response, this first assistant tea and dinner don't think, I can't sleep all night, I really miss you. ”

He twitched the corners of his lips and looked at me, "Looking at Shousuke-sama's increasingly mellow appearance, it's not like he can't eat and sleep." ”

My face stiffened, and after a while, I pulled out a dry smile: "I saw King Chong'an today, and the haze of the moon was swept away, and Ben Shoufu couldn't help but look radiant, like this bright daylight today, this like a washing sky......"

Before the words fell, a large dark cloud suddenly drifted through the sky, as if to deliberately embarrass me, but when I was stunned, a thunder suddenly fell, and the raindrops of beans fell on the top of my head.

Ben Shoufu was dumbfounded, and his play was struck by lightning.

He looked sideways, but the smile was falling into my eyes. The fan turned in a different direction in my hand, and I held it above his head to shield him from the rain for the time being.

Although it was May and summer was approaching, the rain still brought these coolness, and this cool rain fell on my forehead, so that I gradually calmed down. In this calm gap, it was clear that neither of us had spoken, but some voices came from my head—

"The last time you rejected this king, this king was so sad. In the past four months, this king has no intention of fighting, and wants to invite you to drink all the time, but he can't find such a suitable opportunity today - now that this king has returned victoriously, you should be a face for this king, accompany me, and help me have fun, okay? ”

The owner of the voice wanted to invite me to drink, and he was as thick-skinned as I am today.

But did I finally promise him to come?

I frowned and pondered for a while, but I couldn't remember anything. The voice, the situation, was probably the same as the scene last night, a dream.

The fan was pulled away with a force, and the next moment the rain was covered, and I looked up blankly in the ethereal memory, and saw him untie his robe and put it on the two of us, my eyes trembled somewhat, and finally slowly descended, landing on his faint stubble chin.

The boy I kissed last night seems to have a chin similar to his, and if I put it on, the corners of my lips will definitely be slightly itchy by this stubble.

He seemed to be absent-minded, thinking about something else, and the slender fingers that fell from the back of his neck seemed to say, "Your hair is as good as it was then......

There are a few more sentences in the back, and I am in a confused mood and can't really hear it. Unconsciously raised his eyes, and saw that the thunder outside the robe was faint, the rain was entangled, the cutting was continuous, and the reason was messy. Like heaven and earth, square and round, the end and the beginning, exhausted after the surplus, full after overflowing. All the sorrows, the year has not been extinguished, the spring goes to the summer solstice, and it is long overdue.

When I was in my thirties, I had a sense of reincarnation.

Later, after being entangled with His Royal Highness King Chong'an for more than a month, the wine was finally drunk, but it was drunk in his house, and he took out the osmanthus brew that had been treasured for many years.

When we first arrived at his mansion, the two of us went to different rooms to take off our soaked robes and put on clean and warm azure silk shirts. When I pushed the door out, I found that the rain was getting heavier outside the window, and he had ordered a small copper stove to warm wine, and I looked at the shirt on his body, which was the same material as the one I was wearing when I was in Xiyuan.

"I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I'm wearing Madame's clothes again." I pinched the silk handkerchief and wiped my loose hair, looked down at the well-fitting and comfortable silk shirt, and was a little at a loss, "I heard Chen Lanting say that Mrs. Zun has passed away. "I am afraid that the warmth of the brass furnace and the heat of the wine have dispelled the cold, and I do not feel uncomfortable in the clothes of the dead.

He sat in front of the copper stove, his hair was also loose, and when he saw me come out, he looked at me sideways for a while, but when he opened his mouth, he changed the subject, and conjured up a jar of sunflower seeds like a trick: "Fried yesterday, it's still crispy, come and eat it." ”

I exclaimed, "You...... How do you know I love fried sunflower seeds? ”

He smiled lazily, and his peach blossom eyes reflected thousands of scenery: "My wife loves to eat." ”

I snorted haha, "That lady's taste is really ...... It's kind of wonderful, hahahaha. ”

I have to say that His Royal Highness King Chong'an's collection of osmanthus brew is very good, the wine is sweet and sweet, fresh and soft, lingering on the lips and teeth, it is very similar to the southern October, when the young girl dances under the tree, the sleeves stained with the fragrance of osmanthus gently sweep your face - this feeling is very addictive just thinking about it, even people like me who can't drink too much wine, can't help but pour yourself a few more glasses.

"Looking for laurel trees in the empty mountains, folding incense and thinking about the old people. The deceased is separated by autumn water, looking back at it. Nanshan and Beishan Road, carrying flowers like clouds. The gan looks at the sculls, and the agricultural branches are waiting for you. Xiling is singing and dancing, and the moon is bright at night. Abandon the donation of jade pendants, and make autumn dust as incense. Chu Tiaoqiu is even more bitter, and there is no more to hear. Come to the green industry, the cool breeze blows the practice. I looked at him, "You say how can a literati and a writer write such a sad poem about such a sweet and warm flower?" ”

He stirred the charcoal fire in the brass furnace and replied, "What's so hard to understand?" This king will also have worries about being weak and helpless in the twilight of a person like you. ”

I held the cup and wondered, "Why are you so worried?" ”

He took out the copper hook and stared at me with a serious face: "In the restaurant opposite Xiyuan in Nanguo Mansion, the situation was in a crisis at that time, this king didn't remind you, let you hit me hard, I will give you a back, you believe me, jumped off the second floor and fled from Nanguo Mansion, and you didn't do it when the ferry returned to Ningguo; Before going to talk next door with Cheng Yu, this king secretly told you that you don't have to worry about me, and you will run away when you see the opportunity. But look, where are you now? Wolves and tigers' dens, surrounded by fierce beasts. ”

"You were seriously injured and covered in blood, how could I ignore knocking you off the second floor and putting you on your back, and how could I ignore you and escape by myself?" I was a little excited, and my hand holding the cup trembled, and the wine swayed and spilled most of it from the glass.

But he was indifferent, and slowly said a sentence, which made me calm down instantly, and also made me suddenly chill-

"What does this king have to do with you, and what do you care of me?"

What has this king done with you, and what do you do to me? I never thought that he would ask me like this, because I thought that I had already been friends with him, otherwise he would not have jumped into Lanyue Lake with me in his arms on a rainy night to avoid pursuit, otherwise he would not have taken me away from the restaurant under the pressure of Chen Lanting, otherwise he would not have thought about helping me buy a stream garden when he was seriously injured.

But now it seems like I'm a little wishful thinking. I thought of the way he comforted Wan Wan in the courtyard of the deep palace today, and found that I was no different from that girl—we must have both met a good, warm-hearted person who was willing to help us, and that's it.

Maybe Wan Wan is not, Wan Wan has a deeper and closer relationship with him. But I wasn't, and his question pulled me back from the situation of thinking about what was wrong and made me fall into a somewhat dreary reality.

I really reacted for a while before I came back to my senses, put down the wine cup and smiled dumbly: "It is true that His Royal Highness King Chong'an has nothing to do with me, if you really want to find something entangled, it is when you were in Nanguo Mansion that you saved me from fire and water three times twice, so that in this way, between me and you, I owe you a few favors." But I think that whether or not to come to Jinguo is still my own business, and these favors can't affect my choice. ”

"Qin Buxian," it seems that since we met, it seems that he has called me by name and surname like this for the first time, but subconsciously I feel that he often calls me like this, "You have seen Wan Wan today." ”

"Huh?"

His eyes were gloomy: "If you don't leave Jinguo quickly, your fate in the future will be even worse than her." No, it's much worse. ”

I raised my eyebrows slightly, scooped up the wine jug and poured myself full of wine: "I have only been a master of this Shoufu for two months, and the days of one person under ten thousand people are really comfortable, why should I leave?" ”

"Don't say such angry things, you will miss the right thing." He rubbed the corners of his forehead, a little helpless.

"How is this angry talk? This is obviously the words in the heart of this Shoufu, by the way, after this reminder from His Highness, this Shoufu remembered a real business," his right hand reached into his shirt, took out a three-inch long, four-finger-wide ink-colored jade pendant, squinted and smiled: "I heard Lord Chen Changfeng say, this jade pendant was once an old thing of His Royal Highness?" ”

He looked up suddenly.
