The imperial study is strict and elegant.

The emperor who ascended the throne by iron-blooded means has always been majestic and indifferent.

But at this moment, Xiao Tingchen couldn't ignore the affection and longing in his eyes.

He sat on the couch and picked up a chess piece, "My mother is a boat girl from a small family in Jiangnan, and she died many years ago. ”

He lied.

"Boat girl?"

"Yes."

The room was silent, and only the crisp sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard could be heard.

Xiao Tingchen looked at the chessboard, and the emperor's chess pieces had already gone out of order.

What was he thinking?

What does he have to do with his mother?

After all, this game of chess could no longer be played, and the emperor covered his eyes with one hand and motioned for Xiao Tingchen to retreat.

Xiao Tingchen bowed, and when he retreated to the threshold, he heard the emperor say lightly:

"After the triumph, come back and tell me the story of your mother."

“…… Be. ”

……

In the restaurant in Chang'an City, Su Jiu couldn't eat so many dishes, so she asked the shopkeeper to help her pack it, planning to take it back to her home and keep it for dinner.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Girl, the packing fee is one or two silver." ”

"A tael of silver?!"

Su Jiu was surprised.

No wonder everyone says that Chang'an is expensive, and it costs a tael of silver to pack it casually, when she was a maidservant in the past, one or two silver was enough for her to spend several months.

She looked at the good dishes on the table in a tangled manner, and was reluctant to waste them, and said with a shy face: "Pack it for me, the account is in the ...... It is recorded on the head of Xiao Tingchen, the commander of the forbidden army. He has a small courtyard at the end of Yanxing Street, and you can send someone to pick it up. ”

"Okay!"

Su Jiu carried two big food boxes and walked alone on the way back to China.

The emperor has been thinking about the love of the monarch and the minister for many years, and he did not return to the mansion, and she can be regarded as having a place to stay.

The house was empty.

When she came to her mother's courtyard, Lu Jiaoyi was sitting on the steps under the eaves, crying profusely.

When she looked up and saw Su Jiu, she immediately picked up her crutches and pointed at her, "Su Jiu, I asked you to make breakfast, where did you go?!" I've been hungry all day, and I'm crying with hunger! ”

Su Jiu handed her the food box, "Eat." ”

The aroma of the food made Lu Jiaoyi care about nothing else, and immediately opened the lid to eat.

Su Jiu sat down beside her and said softly: "Lu Jiaoyi, our house is already so poor that we can't open the pot, you know a lot of young ladies in Chang'an, but what kind of friends do you have, the kind that can borrow our silver?" ”

Lu Jiaoyi bit the crispy chicken leg, but she didn't continue to pretend with Su Jiu, and said sincerely: "I used to walk sideways in Chang'an City, and to be honest, I didn't have friends, but there were a lot of people who offended. ”

Su Jiu looked at her complicatedly.

She shouldn't have asked.

Lu Jiaoyi threw away the chicken bones, "Su wine, don't you know how to make incense?" Why don't you sell incense? ”

Su Jiu's heart moved slightly.

After a long time, Lu Jiaoyi ate and drank to her heart's content, patted her shoulder, "Think about it!" Sister, I have been filial to my father for so many years instead of you, there is no merit and hard work, you have earned money, but you have to support me! I'll take the rest of the meal and eat it tomorrow, you've already eaten it outside anyway. ”

She unceremoniously picked up the food box and left.

Su Jiu looked at the ground full of confusion.

Lu Jiaoyi didn't even give her a bowl of porridge.

The girl got up in silence and stepped into the bedroom to take care of her mother.

At night, she carried the lantern back to the Crane Ting.

It is actually feasible to sell incense, but she has no capital in her hands, and she can't even make an incense pill.

She rummaged through the cabinets and found that she really had no money.

When she was uncomfortable, the girl suddenly looked at the bed.

She pulled out a scroll from the depths of the bed.

By the faint light spread out, the peach forest on the scroll is beautiful, and the beauty with a vague face rotates and dances with a bent waist.

This is the painting that Rong Zheng gave her at the beginning.

Su Jiuxiao's heart was pounding, not because of emotion, but because of excitement.

Rong Zheng's paintings are very valuable, wouldn't it be a lot of income for her to sell them outside?

After the girl freshened up, she lay on the couch with the scroll in her arms.

Because she solved an annoyance, and she was too tired today, she fell asleep quickly.

The night breeze blew open the carved window, and a dark shadow appeared ghostly outside the bed tent.

Xiao Tingchen lifted the curtain and stared at her condescendingly.

By the moonlight, he clearly saw that the girl's lips were simply raised, and he probably dreamed of something good.

And she still had a scroll in her arms.

He pulled out the scroll, and when he saw the content of the painting, his peach blossom eyes instantly swelled with a thick anger!

Even when she sleeps, she holds the painting drawn by the wild man for her, is it not enough for her to dislike the insult given to her by the Rong family?!

Xiao Tingchen threw away the picture scroll, lifted Su Jiu's futon, and lay down in it familiarly.

The girl is wearing a thin bedgown, soft and sweet in her arms, and it feels very good.

His breathing was a little rapid, and he suddenly bit Su Jiu's lip.

The girl woke up from her sleep and saw that there was an extra person around her, and she was about to scream, but Xiao Tingchen covered her mouth fiercely.

He held her under him, "Don't scream. ”

Su Jiu nodded in horror.

Xiao Tingchen let go of his hand, "I will go to the outskirts of the city early tomorrow morning and rush to Yan Country with the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Battalion." Xie Rongjing will also go. ”

The news came too suddenly.

Su Jiu forgot for a moment that he had just bullied him, and asked softly, "What are you doing in Yan Kingdom?" ”

"Fighting."

"Huh?"

Xiao Tingchen touched her tender face, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, "Still reading Rong Zheng?" ”

"Nope."

"Then you just hugged his painting ......"

Su Jiu pushed him away and sat up, pulling up the bedclothes that were loose under his shoulders, "His paintings are valuable, I plan to sell them in the market tomorrow, and use the silver as the capital to do the incense business." ”

Xiao Tingchen's eyebrows and eyes immediately relaxed.

He took her in his arms, "You marry me, and I will raise you." ”

As he spoke, his gaze condescendingly peeked at the girl's delicate body.

A girl in the prime of her life, her bedclothes were loose, and from his point of view, she could clearly see her white and slender neck, as well as two traces of snow white looming under the wide collar.

I don't know what it's like to play with it.

The man's eyes flickered with wolf light.

At his age, ordinary men have already accepted a bunch of concubines.

But he waited for someone to grow up, and he didn't even taste meat, so he occasionally ate some meat scraps, which made him hungry......

His gaze was too hot, and Su Jiu was a little scared in his eyes.

She refused to ask him to hold herself, huddled in the corner with a soft pillow, and her little face was serious, "My father and brother went to the frontier, and there is no one in charge at home." The matter of marriage is still the day.. More on that later. ”

Xiao Tingchen's eyes lit up, "Day.. Talk about it later? ”

Su Jiu was stunned, not understanding why he was suddenly excited.

She looked at the man getting closer to her little by little, her little face turned pale with fright, and she hugged the soft pillow tightly, but she didn't know that this pitiful appearance fell in Xiao Tingchen's eyes, which made him want to bully her more and more.

Xiao Tingchen grabbed a chick like a cub, and easily caught her in his arms.

His knees are forcefully topped. Open the girl's slender legs.

The rough and wide palm, skillfully holding Su Jiu's ankles, easily put her double. Leg. Break open to the maximum.
