But there are not so many ifs in life.

The country has to be guarded, and the daughter has to be taken care of, so it is impossible for Chu Chen to stay at the top of the Nine Pavilions.

"Xiang Nan took a step back in this matter, and now it should be your turn to take a step back."

Nan Mohao probably felt that this sentence was very naïve, and only said lightly when he heard this: "You can send someone to chase Xiang Nan back, this king doesn't need you to take this step back." ”

Chu Chen choked: "......"

Well, he admits that he's a bit of a scoundrel.

Xiang Nan's matter is the result of their tacit understanding, and it is impossible to talk about who will retreat and who will give in - even if it is retreat, it is only superficial.

It's obviously a bit untenable.

Chu Chen thought about it, struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally chose to compromise: "I can let you go, but I have one condition." ”

Chu Chen knew what Nan Mohao was thinking in his heart, and he was willing to be considerate of his care for Zixi, so although he was not willing to take this step back, he could accept it.

Anyway, I just went to take a look at Zixi......

The familiar dull pain came from his heart, Chu Chen suppressed his gloom, and said lightly: "I haven't thought about the conditions yet, I owe it first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Nan Mohao didn't speak again, his eyebrows and eyes were silent and cold as always, just like the climate in the wax moon, there was no temperature at all.

It was very cold.

It was even colder in the palace, so cold that it didn't seem to have a trace of popularity.

Because the empress was absent, the regent and the emperor were not very enthusiastic about the festival, and on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, when the ceremonial department asked in advance for the details of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the two unanimously ordered the cancellation of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and ordered the courtiers to keep the New Year at home.

This decision naturally caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty, but most of the courtiers only had speculations in their hearts, and there were not many opinions on the surface.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month of the previous year, there was a holiday, and it was not until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year that he went to court, which was more than every year in the past - this decision surprised the Manchu civil and military again.

The regent ordered that if there was an urgent matter, he could hand the fold into the palace, but the ministers couldn't help but think in their hearts, what is the reason for the holiday for so many days?

No one knew that the regent had left the imperial city overnight on the night of Hugh.

Chu Chen has lived for more than 20 years, and for the first time he experienced the feeling of loneliness and loneliness at the New Year's Festival.

In the huge palace, only the six-month-old daughter is his heart's concern, and when he looks up, the three thousand palaces are immersed in cold and loneliness, as if he is lonely waiting for the return of his master.

Chu Chen sat in Yonghua Palace, holding his daughter in his arms, and sighed melancholy: "I really hope you can grow up quickly." ”

It is said that children urge people to grow old.

When the child grows up, time passes.

If his daughter is now nine years old, will his Zixi be able to wake up?

Qiu Yan stood aside and was silent for a moment, as if she could feel the sadness in Chu Chen's heart, and said, "The emperor can actually go with the regent. ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of just in case." ”

Qiu Yan was silent when she heard this, and looked at the princess in Chu Chen's arms, with a smile on her face: "Her Royal Highness the princess is very quiet, unlike other children who will cry." ”

Sure enough, she is worthy of being the destined empress, and this bearing is born with it.

Chu Chen looked at his daughter's little face carefully, and frowned slightly: "Has she ever laughed?" ”

A six-month-old child should be able to make a laugh.

Qiu Yan was slightly stunned, and then shook her head: "The princess doesn't cry much, and she hasn't laughed much." ”

Although she seemed happier than other times when she was held by Chu Chen, she really didn't giggle like other children.
