Chu Chen's eighteen-year-old birthday did not make waves, and passed quietly.

And the Xiling Imperial City, the second half of the lunar month was almost immersed in a haze of ice and snow.

Heavy snow began to fall from the twelfth day of the lunar month, and it did not fall for several days, and a thick layer of snow accumulated everywhere in the courtyard, on the branches, and on the eaves tiles.

Zixi and Chu Chen stayed in the room where the earth dragon was burning, and began to enjoy the quiet days of the previous year, as if they were the only ones in the vast world.

Make a pot of tea, play a little song, and have deep feelings between warm and soft words.

Don't bother with the world.

And the one in the palace finally accepted the fact that the Prime Minister's Mansion had fallen after a few days of haze and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were also worried for several days.

When he calmed down, he thought that his life was still in Zixi's hands, and in order to understand the poison in his body, Chu Huan sent a decree more than once to ask Zixi to enter the palace.

Ke Zixi blurted out that he was busy and never paid attention to it.

The emperor was shocked and angry at Zixi's blatant act of resisting the decree, but he didn't dare to persecute him too harshly, just because there were so many skilled doctors in the Tai Hospital, and no one could know what kind of poison he had.

There are few people who are not afraid of death when they are emperors, Chu Huan only has one son, even if he doesn't care about his own life, he will consider whether his six-year-old son can inherit the country, and whether he can sit on the throne under the two forces of the eldest princess and the king of Qingjun.

So he couldn't take risks and didn't dare to take risks.

It's ridiculous to say that this poison was personally placed in Su Jin's body - it's just that he was poisoned at the beginning, and Zixi took out the worms that were born from the poison from Su Jin's body and put it into Chu Huan's body, so he didn't know it at all.

And what is completely different from Chu Huan's state of mind is that after personally supervising the beheading of Su Xiang's family and landing on the ground, Chu Ning returned to the mansion and did not leave the mansion for several days.

The sun was nice on the two days when there was no snow.

On the day of Chu Chen's birthday at home, Su Jin invited Chu Ning to enjoy the plum blossoms in the plum garden.

A recliner was set up in the plum garden, and the young and handsome man lay lazily on the chair, facing the sun, and his voice was soft and a little reminiscent: "When I was a teenager, I also fantasized about growing up to be famous, starting a family, marrying a beautiful wife, giving birth to a few children, planting some plum blossoms, peach blossoms, and apricot blossoms in the garden, and watching the children play under the flower trees......"

Chu Ning stood aside and listened quietly, with no expression on his cold face.

"I didn't have any ideas about men's three wives and four concubines before, but in the years when my mother was abused, I began to resent, why was the system so unfair to women? Why should a woman's happiness and destiny be in the hands of a man? Why, some men can enjoy the woman's uncomplaining dedication while at the same time spoiling the woman's deep love with peace of mind? ”

As a man, Su Jin witnessed the misfortune of his mother's life, and he secretly swore that he would never take a concubine in this life, and would not let any woman experience her mother's trampling because of herself.

But the world is unpredictable.

Su Jin never dreamed that he would be involved with Chu Ning, the eldest princess of Xiling, and became husband and wife.

Their identities used to be different from each other - even when his father and mother were not dead, when he saw Chu Ning, he had to kneel down obediently and respectfully and salute.

And Su Jin, no matter how forbearant she was when she was in Su Mansion, she still had to look at her mother-in-law and brother-in-law to live her life, and she couldn't be a little disrespectful.

At that time, Chu Ning was the sky, he was an ant who was trampled in the dust, insignificant.
