In the middle of the night, when Wei Qilang came back, he saw that Dong Ru had already laid down, and thought she was asleep, so he took off his clothes and lay down softly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he covered the quilt, she opened her eyes and looked at herself with clear eyes, obviously very energetic.

"You haven't slept so late?" He stretched out his arm and hugged her and asked softly.

"I'm waiting for you." She said softly, moving her head to his chin, and said, "I can't sleep if you don't come." ”

The man's heart warmed when he heard this, his eyes filled with pity, he rubbed her face, and said softly: "Now that I'm back, go to sleep." As he spoke, he closed his eyes, but Dong Ru looked at him quietly with his eyes open, biting his lower lip and looking a little inexplicable.

After a long while, Wei Qilang couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened his eyes and looked at her, and said helplessly: "Why don't you sleep, watch what I do?" ”

Dong Ru didn't speak for a long time, but his body was close to him, hugged him tightly, and shook his head against him. Wei Qilang didn't know why, but he was very tired today, so he patted her on the back and said softly: "Don't do this, I'll accompany you, go to sleep." ”

"If you don't really fall asleep, I won't sleep and stay with you." Dong Ru suddenly raised his head, looked at him fixedly and said.

He was stunned for a moment, seeing that her little face was beautiful and elegant, but her expression was firm and irrefutable, and his heart was shocked at the moment, and several thoughts turned in his mind, and finally his eyes were closed, and when he opened them again, he said seriously: "I have been sick for many years, and I can't change it for a while, so I will fall asleep after waiting, so leave me alone." ”

Dong Ru was anxious, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out, he shed tears, touched his face with both hands and said distressedly: "Why don't you tell me if you have insomnia, I'm really a fool, now that I think about it, it seems that every time you coax me to sleep, I don't know you have this problem." ”

She blamed herself, if Jiang Xueyao hadn't told her yesterday, she really didn't know at all, her Qilang had been a year, no, it was possible that she had rarely slept at night for many years, and her body would not be able to stand it if she went on like this, she felt that she was really incompetent as a wife, and locked herself in the house for a day, but she was still uncomfortable in her heart, if she could, she really wanted to replace him.

Wei Qilang saw that she was crying sadly, obviously suppressed it for a long time, frowning and not having to think about knowing who told her, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he blamed himself lightly, and his Aru was sad if he didn't pay attention. hurriedly turned around and hugged her softly: "Don't cry, it's not a big deal, is it worth your crying nose?" ”

"You hate it!" Dong Ru saw that he didn't care at all, he was distressed and angry, so he scolded him, and hurriedly said: "I will watch you sleep in the future, what are you sleeping, I can rest assured, from tonight, sleep now!" ”

She snorted as she spoke, with tears on her face, and she looked embarrassed, but she wiped away her tears in three or two strokes, and then stared at him fixedly, if you don't sleep, I have been watching your momentum, obviously what she said was not a joke.

She saw a warm feeling in Wei Qilang's heart, so she didn't speak anymore, and closed her eyes honestly, while Dong Ru looked at him obediently, his expression eased slightly, and covered the quilt for him, and then his small hand held his big hand, but he stared at him softly, and hummed in his ear the song of his mother coaxing her to sleep when he was a child.

Maybe he was guarding against others from harming him, maybe he was very vigilant, in short, no matter what, Dong Ru was very sad in her heart, when would her Qilang be able to relax and not be so tired.

******

Banquet for the ministers, the place is set in a beautiful scenery of the palace 'Yunfang Island', the island has already set up a few cushions, melons, fruits and wine are also arranged, sitting on both sides, many ministers have brought their families to sit and talk and laugh with other ministers.

The emperor hasn't come yet, but Su Liuyu, the first assistant, has come early, his position is on the first place on the emperor's left, and the first one on the right is the position of Zhongshu Ling, Wei Qilang hasn't come yet, it's empty.

He was wearing a court robe, black mixed with dark red gold thread, an imposing python embroidered on his chest, and his hair was combed all over the ground, but he was only fixed with a black hairpin, and did not wear an official hat, his hands were still hidden in his sleeves, his face remained unchanged for thousands of years, he looked like he was smiling, looking at the appearance of harmony, and slowly walked to his position, kneeling down and ignoring others.

As soon as many ministers saw him come in, they all got up and went forward with wine glasses to flatter, and he took them one by one, his eyes were moist and cold, but the look on his face was smiling.

And many of the family members brought by those ministers are young ladies in the boudoir, and they are all seeing him for the first time at this moment, and they have seen his appearance one by one, and their eyes flashed with amazing admiration, and after a glance, their faces turned red with shame, and they took the handkerchief in their hands to hide the admiration in their eyes, but they still couldn't help but peek at him secretly.

It is said that Lord Shoufu is young but comes from the Su family, and he is also talented, Bo Gu and the present, the most important thing is that he has not yet started a family, and he does not even have a family affair, and he looks like a natural person, no worse than the Lord of Zhongshu Ling, and when I saw it today, it was true.

Those girls looked at him, all of them were full of spring, expecting him to turn his head and look at himself, but the beauty was intentional, the flowing water was ruthless, Su Liuyu was in his position, he didn't move for a long time, and kept talking to the minister who came to talk with a smile.

At this time, a loud voice was heard outside: "Zhongshu orders the adults to ——! ”

The people inside were stunned, and they all looked respectful, and sat down in their positions, only Su Liuyu was still smiling. Immediately afterwards, Wei Qilang, who was wearing the court uniform of the second grade of the Chinese calligraphy, stepped into the threshold with his feet raised, and without anyone looking, he walked straight to his position, and sat down on his knees with a robe swing.

When he looked up, he saw that Su Liuyu on the opposite side was looking at him lightly, the look in his eyes was quiet and quiet, but Wei Qilang could see that he was a little surprised, and he was looking at himself with a smile, without showing weakness, and also looking at Su Liuyu calmly, raising his eyebrows and not speaking.

As soon as he entered the door, all the people present turned their eyes to him, and they were very surprised, because he came alone, and he did not bring his own inner son with him, but walked in strode in to attend the dinner set by the emperor.

The emperor has decreed that the banquet can bring family members over, but the Zhongshu Ling ignored the emperor's decree. The people present were all exquisite, and today they wanted to use this wedding banquet to meet him, the legendary wife from the countryside who was praised by him, but they didn't want to, and they didn't bring it at all.

I just don't know what this long-thinking Zhongshu Ling meant, did he think that his wife couldn't be on the stage, and it was a big occasion like the emperor's wedding banquet, so he didn't bring it over?

Thinking about it like this, these people sneered coldly in their hearts, a small place is a small place, and they can't be put on the stage, and they are ashamed to bring it out.

As everyone knows, they guessed in their hearts that Wei Qilang himself was sitting upright and didn't care, he didn't tell Dong Ru about it before he came, she didn't know about it at all, and thought that he had something to do with it, after all, he had been very busy since he came back, so she didn't think much about it.

Wei Qilang didn't want her to attend this kind of occasion, just a Wei Mansion, the eyes and words of those aunts in it were to stimulate her body to the end, and the blood of the injury was dripping, not to mention that none of the people present now were not famous nobles, and no one came from a foreign country.

Therefore, for the sake of his Aru, he still didn't tell her, everything was up to her, whether it was gossip or contempt and speculation, he wouldn't let her face the colored eyes of these people.

Only Su Liuyu smiled lightly, and suddenly whispered to the audience: "Lord Zhongshu Ling has made a great contribution this time, I'm afraid he will be promoted again." ”

As soon as he spoke, the scene fell silent, Wei Qilang's eyes sank, and he looked at Su Liuyu, who was still light and light, and also looked back at him.

The courtier's eyes swept back and forth on their faces, and one suddenly realized, stood up and knelt on the ground and stammered with Wei Qilang: "Lord Shoufu is right, the flood in the four cities south of the Yangtze River has been solved by relying on the good strategy of Lord Zhongshu Ling, presumably the emperor is going to give you a reward again for his banquet today, so I will say congratulations to you here first." ”

As he spoke, he bowed, and the courtiers who were still sitting behind him were shrewd in their minds, and they all understood in an instant, and they all bowed to him from afar to express their respect and congratulations. Only Wei Qilang, sitting in his position, looked at Su Liuyu with a smile, and replied lightly: "Master Su is too worried, Gao Sheng doesn't dare to be." ”

Su Liuyu didn't have a brain, but he didn't answer, closed his eyes, and looked as if he didn't want to participate in this farce anymore. And Wei Qilang also smiled faintly, watching the ministers in the field salute him, the expression on his face was a little playful, but he didn't speak, only lowered his head slightly, and looked at the strand of hair tightly held in his hand.

The two of them didn't speak, and the ministers present didn't know what to say, everything was a factional dispute, the leader didn't know what he was thinking, and such a lowly person didn't dare to pick up the stubble, so the gorgeous hall was quiet, each doing their own thing, only those women in the boudoir who didn't understand the government and politics were very excited one by one, looking at the two of them back and forth.

Just as the people in the hall were whispering, a eunuch shouted outside: "The emperor has arrived——! ”

At this point, people got up one after another, knelt in two rows, led by Su Liuyu and Wei Qilang, and greeted the bright yellow figure who was walking in outside: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

I only heard a voice full of coercion and low faintly, and as he spoke, he walked straight to the top of the imperial chair and sat down.

"Zhongqing is flat."
