With a flick of the whip, the horse galloped out.

Li Chun's cloak wrapped Cheng Ziyu's whole person, which was not only safe, but also blocked the wind and avoided showing up.

Embracing him, Cheng Ziyu pressed her face to his chest.

He wasn't walking on Main Street, and the carriage wasn't slow.

"I bought the house just now."

"Huh?"

"In the future, when our affairs are settled, I will secretly come south to see you when I have the opportunity, and this will be my foothold. I'll keep some people here, and you'll have to use your hands to get here. You have something you can't solve in Jingxi, so you came to this house to find Feng Ye, that is the person I left to you. If there's anything to give me, just leave it here. You can also stay when you come to Jinling. You're welcome when you're in your own home. ”

Cheng Ziyu's heart warmed. What he thinks is always so complete.

"When did you buy it?" The yamen in Jinling has not been working for the past few days, and he has no time at all, so he should have done this before, right?

"I was already looking for a place before I sent Liu'er to you. But I haven't found a suitable one, some are too old, some are too noisy, and some are not in a good environment. Finally found this place, behind the garden is Xuanwu Lake, build a small building in the future, open the window to see the lake view. Build a small pier at the back of the garden, and if you want to relax, you can go boating on the lake......"

"Before Liu'er...... I didn't promise you then......"

"I knew you would!" He smiled heartily, "You'll have to say yes one day." If you don't want me for a day, I will wait for you for a day, pester you for a day, chase you for a day, as long as you can't bear to see me sad and sad, lonely and widowed until I am old. ”

Cheng Ziyu didn't speak again, but just hugged him tightly.

His chest was broad, his chest was warm, his heart was beating strongly, and a sense of omnipotence surrounded her, reassuring her.

Take a ride, walk at night under the moon, and shuttle through the streets.

Listen to the heartbeat, watch the fireworks in the sky, and walk the unknown road.

She didn't reply, just buried her head in his arms, enjoying the warmth, the reliance, and the steadfastness. She doesn't care where she goes or what she does, it's enough to have him by her side......

And he seems to have grown in her heart, what he said word by word, word and deed was what she wanted, embarrassed, scrupled, worried, like a sweet spring flowing by, mending her broken heart again and again.

"Do you know why the Emperor likes me? Because I'm the best at solving troubles and problems. So, leave your troubles to me in the future! Every time I see you carrying it alone, I feel distressed. Speaking of which, I have to tell you about our first official encounter......"

Li Chun had a lot of words tonight, and Cheng Ziyu could feel his excitement from his words, he should really be sure of it.

"That time in the salt boat, I was attracted to you at first glance because it was the first time I saw a woman doing something that you shouldn't be doing without hesitation, but not for yourself! Your efforts are not for yourself, and your courage and ruthlessness are not for yourself.

The little girl has such courage, you know how dangerous it is, what the consequences will be if someone finds out, but you can not even want your life, it really amazes me.

At that time, I thought, no matter what secrets you have, what purpose you have, you shouldn't just lose your life. I was sent to follow you, and I wanted to know what you were doing, but also to protect you!

I haven't told you this, in fact, I just got on the boat with you and entered the cabin with you, and I was already tempted. So I've been helping you, even though you don't seem to need it.

Then I found out that everything you do is for the family, and I envy your family and I envy you. I don't have a family, I don't have anyone I want to protect, and at that moment, I want to be your family, so that I can protect you and be protected by you.

After this thought was born, it was out of control. Gradually, I just want to be loved by you, so in the future, you will love me, and I will protect you and your family! ”

"Good!" She couldn't help but squeeze him tight again.

The galloping speed of the horses under him increased significantly, and the voices of people gradually decreased. The road was bumpy, and the two of them only whispered, and when Cheng Ziyu showed his face from the cloak, he had already reached the top of a mountain.

"......" is clean and uninhabited, the breeze is gusting, the overhead is constantly blooming fireworks, and the hustle and bustle of Jinling City is under your feet.

So, I didn't go out of the city.

"Purple Mountain?"

"That's right! In the middle of the night, the top of the mountain was empty. That's all there is to it, it's easy to talk, and you can talk happily. ”

Dropping her out of the carriage, he fastened his cloak to her.

"You followed the Queen Mother, and you have been detained for too long, it's very uncomfortable, right? I just want to take you out and smell the free air, where you sing and scream and no one pays attention......"

Cheng Ziyu pressed her lips up and blocked his mouth.

She just wanted to kiss him.

He knew her too well.

He had thought of almost everything for her.

Even the foothold, the manpower, the cloak, her ideas, he took it into account.

Contrary to Zhu Changan in his previous life, Li Chun's promise was never said, but done bit by bit. He was by her side, paying with pervasive meticulousness, compared to what she could do for him, it was too little.

That's right, she yearns for freedom! Even if she was detained by Zhu Chang'an's side for four years, she thought she was used to it, she thought that her habits could be changed, but when she dreamed back at midnight, she always wanted to break out of the cage.

She has never been a noblewoman, so she doesn't need to be a noblewoman, she took the wrong path in her previous life, and she has to work hard to live freely in this life!

"Well, so, don't you sing and scream, just want to kiss me?" He licked his lips, there was a sweet taste of lipstick, and he opened his arms, "Looks like I've found the right place!" This barren mountain and wild mountain, come, the lord bears, the lady is free. ”

Immediately sat for a long time, Cheng Ziyu's legs were a little numb, she was knocking on her calves, seeing his hateful face coming over, she was suddenly amused and angry.

He was pushed by her, and did not avoid it, but he took his hand to tie her tightly, and then led her backwards.

Cheng Ziyu exclaimed. She was fine when he fell on his back, but he hit the ground with the back of his head, so don't smash it......

She was overwhelmed.

One of his feet hooked into the tree behind her to control the speed of his fall.

He led her to lie down on the grass.

She's on top, he's down.

"It turns out that the lady not only wants to kiss me, but also wants to pounce on me!"

The starlight is very good, the moonlight is very bright, and the fireworks that bloom one after another are very burning, reflecting the clear light in the eyes of the two people who are facing each other, and also reflecting the peach blossoms on the human face, and increasing the frequency of the heartbeats of the two......

A short time is not enough for an ambiguous relationship, a light kiss stops, the two lie on the grass, hold each other's hands, and watch the sky full of fireworks......

"I asked Father-in-law Yu, and in fact, the decree to canonize you has changed twice. After the Zhenjiang assassination, the Queen Mother wanted to promote you, and she went to the emperor to discuss. After the emperor thought about it, the position given to you was the county lord.

But the Queen Mother was not satisfied, she felt that it was too low. The Queen Mother asked the county lord. The emperor actually thinks that the position itself is fine, you saved the queen mother, this price is worth it. But your status is too low, and if you jump too high all of a sudden, you will be called to say.

But the Queen Mother said that she just wanted to surprise everyone, and everyone said. So it was settled. They sought out the King of Escape. The King of Freedom was in charge of the affairs of the clan, and he also objected. The Queen Mother simply pushed the boat along the river, asking King Xiaoyao to recognize you as a righteous daughter first and then make you the county lord, so that your identity will be compliant.

The Queen Mother had never asked for King Xiaoyao before, and he still had to give this face. Then the decree was re-established. However, the decree was useless. ”

Li Chun breathed a sigh of relief and propped his head to look at her.

"Although I don't know what you said to the emperor when you returned to the pavilion later, it should be that that sentence that made the emperor change his mind again."

Cheng Ziyu smiled bitterly in her heart, sure enough.

"The emperor spent a lot of words for you, removing the step of the 'righteous daughter' of the King of Xiaoyao, but he took a lot of effort to elevate you to the 'civil county lord' representing the lower class, the queen mother was surprised that you were panicked, and I was also shocked at that time. This decree was made by Father-in-law Yu before the start of the dinner, so it was improvised, and even the Queen Mother and King Xiaoyao did not know about it. He obviously has a purpose, you and I can see it, and the Queen Mother naturally wants to find out. ”

So, two hours ago, the Queen Mother went to talk to the emperor. Because they had to light fireworks later, they did not go back to their residence, but found a triangular pavilion, which was guarded by Li Chun and Yu's father-in-law.

Li Chun happened to listen to a complete ......

"Emperor, what's the matter?" The Queen Mother got straight to the point.

The emperor smiled and poured tea and handed water to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, I feel that Cheng Ziyu's value must be well played."

"Be clear."

"She can't be the righteous daughter of the King of Ease."

"Why?"

"It's not the right generation."

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother vaguely understood. "The mourning family accepted her as a righteous daughter!"

"Not only is it wrong in terms of generation, but it is also wrong in terms of relationship! She is from the people, so she should belong to the people, so I don't want her to be anyone's daughter. ”

The Queen Mother did not accept the tea handed by the emperor, but laughed out loud.

"You don't want her to have anything to do with the royal family, do you?"

"Yes!"

The emperor stood up, blunt, and insistent.

"I'm going to take her into the palace! If she becomes your daughter-in-law, she will be my sister. As the righteous daughter of the King of Freedom, she became my niece. Being my righteous daughter is even more unreliable. Therefore, I don't need anyone to raise her identity, and I don't need her to have anything to do with the royal family, because after I register her in the palace, she will naturally be a serious royal family! ”

"The mourning family told you that she didn't want to enter the palace."

"It was her pleasure! Isn't she going to make a profit for her family? Didn't she ask me to protect and preserve her and her family? Isn't she trying to prove her worth? It's the best way to go! ”

"Emperor, nonsense!"

"I'm not fooling around! Queen Mother, you think from my standpoint, I am not for myself, but for you and Da Zhou! ”

The emperor was righteous and stern.

"Don't you like her? Don't you feel lonely? Aren't you the one who didn't talk in the harem? Haven't you been lamenting that you will soon be separated from her, lamenting that she can't be there for you? Don't you want to take over the rights?

That's just right! She can be with you all the time and take care of you! You have her as your company, and I can rest assured! Also, although she has been trying her best not to show her water, her methods have already begun to take shape, and she is a businessman, so her wrists are hard! If you want to take back some of your rights, she is here to help. If you don't want to do something, she can do it......"

"No, no, the mourning family understands her, she likes to be fresh, she doesn't want to ......"

"Queen Mother, don't do this! You're not a compassionate old lady or a grandmother. You are the Queen Mother! Even if you really want to eat fasting and chant Buddha, you must be responsible for Da Zhou! ”

Emperor Orthodox. The implication is obvious, even if she doesn't care about it, she can't hold him back.

"You see and hear. In Yangzhou, she just mentioned things casually, and immediately saw the prototype, not to mention, and a bunch of people rushed to cooperate with her. She still has the confidence to negotiate a deal with me, how old is she to be able to represent the Cheng family to honor me! She said that one percent of the profit is one percent of the profit! She said that if you open a good church, you will open a good church! It's not easy! ”

The more the emperor spoke, the faster he went.

"Also, she even told me about munitions, saying that she was sure of the design? Even if there are no drawings at this moment, I am amazed enough, and she is enough to prove her worth.

Coupled with the value of her Cheng family, where is I willing to let the fat and water flow out. Who knows who her husband will be? With the blessing of the county lord's identity, the person she chooses will definitely not be bad! If you are a powerful person, you are afraid that you will stir up a storm, and if you are a merchant, you will definitely be rich. There is a risk! The stakes are not small! By then, will I still be able to control it? Rather than that, why should I take that risk? Why should I talk to her about cooperation?

Retreat again, even if she is well-behaved and loyal, but her methods are clean and neat, and you can see it today, she not only points where to fight, but also wins a big victory, and the goal is achieved. If I don't control her by my side, the Cheng family will be under her hands, and sooner or later it will be the second Wanjia! When the time comes, it won't be easy for me to clean up again! The big hidden danger must be stifled as soon as possible!

If it was just that, it would be fine, but she is still famous, the number one good lord in Jiangnan! I have been taught since I was a child that 'water can carry boats', and the reputation of the common people and the mentality of the lower classes are very important! She's just that kind of bargaining chip that can be used. I took her by my side, which showed the emperor's grace and ability to buy a large number of people's hearts.

Based on the above, Queen Mother, do you think it is the best choice for the royal family, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the imperial court to keep her in the palace? One can take care of you, two can meet her needs, three can monitor and control the Cheng family, four can buy people's hearts, and five can make full use of her, her family, her means, her ability, her business...... What do you think? ”

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded. After a long time, I sighed again.

"Then when does the emperor plan to enroll her? What is it? ”

"It's not too late, I thought, tomorrow ......"

"So fast? Then why didn't the emperor just canonize her in the holy decree? ”

The emperor immediately switched to a face full of filial piety.

"Such a big matter naturally has to be discussed with the queen mother, and today is the queen mother's birthday, how can it be noisy?"

"The emperor laughed, since you have planned everything, what else are you discussing with the mourning family?" The Queen Mother was not very happy, even if she wanted to leave.

"Mother, can you mention this to her in a vague way? Perhaps, tomorrow is more appropriate for you to draw it out? ”

"The mourning family doesn't plan to meddle in this matter." The Queen Mother walked away. She felt a little guilty, she had promised the child that she would not be forced to enter the palace.
