Chapter 65: Refusal

But this night's palace banquet disappointed Talma, Sebao and others.

No matter how hard they tried their best to compete for beauty, the emperor's face was always light, and even the rewards for everyone were treated equally, and there was no difference.

As for the Queen Mother, she sat down for a while, and she said that she was old and had no interest in young people, and she and the concubines left the table one after another.

When the queen mother and the others left, the emperor said a few words, and then said that he had drunk too much wine and was a little tired, so he had to go back to rest first.

Everyone thought that this was the end of it, but who knew that the emperor had named Sizhen, saying that he suddenly thought that there was a military situation in Guilin, and asked her, who is currently in charge of the Dingfan, to consider it together.

The words are high-sounding, but whoever listens to it feels strange, Chinese New Year's Eve night, according to the rules of the ancestors, the emperor is going to spend this night with the queen mother, and now there is no queen mother in the palace, this night, it gave a lot of longing, but the emperor named Heshuo Gege......

No matter how many thoughts they had in their hearts, those concubines could only put them in their hearts, stand up one by one, and send off the emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor said that he was going to the imperial study to discuss, they would have to knock over the vinegar jar, Rao is like this, someone still called his palace maid, gave a few low orders, and sent someone to Cining Palace to report the news.

Others looked at the glory of Sizhen, but Sizhen's heart was helpless.

Since she came back that day, after she asked Mama Ming Qin, she thought that she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to the queen mother and the emperor about the family affairs that her parents had set for herself, but when she mentioned it to the emperor, she was interrupted and told her not to make irresponsible remarks in front of the queen mother.

What the emperor had in mind, Sizhen didn't know, but looking at his overly burning gaze, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

was about to agree to Sun Yanling's family business, and Sizhen made up his mind to completely put away the little things he wanted to say to the emperor.

Long Yu walked fast, and when Sizhen arrived at the imperial study, Fulin had already taken off his court clothes, changed into a purple regular dress and sat on the chair.

The thrush and lark brought by Sizhen were politely blocked by Wu Liangfu, saying that the Long Live Lord only let Zhen Gege enter alone.

said that it was to discuss matters, but there were only two red candles lit in the corner of the house, far away, the light could not shine on the imperial case, and he was so confused that he couldn't even see his face clearly.

Sizhen lowered his hand and walked in, bowed as usual, and respectfully blessed him, "Greetings to the emperor." ”

Fu Lin didn't speak, just sat in the chair and looked at her, his eyes were unscrupulous, and he nodded as he watched, muttering that he didn't know what he was saying.

Is it really drunk?

Sizhen muttered to herself in her heart, she smiled casually, "It's dark in the house, the emperor waits, the courtiers ask someone to take two more lights." ”

"No, I think that's good." Fu Lin raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled: "People say that looking at a beauty under the lamp is more emotional, and I also think that tonight's Ah Zhen is particularly good-looking, and it is more unbearable than looking at it on weekdays." ”

Sizhen's face changed slightly.

Although the emperor's intentions have never been clarified, she knows some of them, and in her heart, how many times she has jumped suddenly for this, but it is the first time that the emperor is as straightforward as tonight, and even has some provocative meaning.

seemed to know what he had just said, a little Meng Lang, Fu Lin smiled, "I heard that you were frightened when you left the palace a while ago, but now you are better?" I still feel a little uncomfortable listening to your voice, and I still need to raise it, but it's a pity that I can't hear you sing tonight, I still remember that at the palace banquet last year, the song you sang was really light and clear, and it was very pleasant. ”

Wu people are good at singing, and the Yue people are even more so, Sizhen's mother, Princess Bai of Dingnan, is a Yue girl, with a good voice, Sizhen followed her, obviously a very refreshing person, but the singing voice is like the rich aroma of magnolia, sweet and glutinous, and moving.

Last year, after being coaxed by Jianning, Sizhen sang two lotus picking songs, but somehow, he was listened to by Fulin.

Speaking of which, the emperor is indeed careful and thoughtful, since he entered the palace, he has been taken care of everywhere, but it is not the time to meet, when she first understands love, he has three thousand beauties, and when he confesses his heart, she already has a marriage contract.

In the final analysis, she still doesn't want to be locked up by this heavy palace, even if it is such a hazy and fiery heart, she can only press it in the bottom of her heart.

Sometimes, Sizhen feels that Xu is through that life and death, she sees everything very lightly, her appearance, although she is a girl, in her bones, but she has died once, except for the hatred of her parents, her brother's whereabouts, there is nothing she can't let go.

But at this moment, looking at Fu Lin's careless eyes, she still couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

However, if you know it, you can only pretend not to know, if this layer of window paper is pierced, there is no room for turning, so Sizhen can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and replied respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's praise!" ”

It was this appearance that was not far away or close, and Fu Lin's heart was inexplicably annoyed.

"You come here, it's so far away, can't I eat you? Come here, bring me that cup of tea, and give it to me to drink. As he spoke, Fu Lin put aside the fold he was holding in his hand and sat up straight slowly.

There was no one else in the imperial study, so she had to wait for her.

Remembering the military situation in Guilin that she had said before, Sizhen didn't suspect anything else for a while, after all, in the past, Fu Lin summoned her to discuss military strategy, and it was not once or twice.

Sizhen took the snow fungus red date tea on the table, and presented it to Fu Lin with both hands, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”

Fulin took the tea, but he didn't let go, just looked at Sizhen like that.

Sizhen was panicked by him, and felt the warmth of the tips of her fingers, and felt even more flustered, she forcefully shoved the tea cup into Fu Lin's hand, and paused and said, "If the emperor is okay, the courtiers will retire first, this is Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor will rest, don't worry." ”

Fu Lin shook his head and sighed lightly: "I have meditated in this position, and I dare not be diligent for a day, even so, there are still so many not very peaceful in the world, not to mention, Jiangnan weaving, has always supplied the royal service, and the crown and clothing in the palace must be made internally to reflect the 'strict inside and outside, distinguish between relatives and relatives.'" Divide the grade, set the dignity and humility' can be on the solution of the yarn, silk, silk, brocade, silk and silk things, it will cost a lot of money, and when this year is over, in the first month, I will stop Jiangnan weaving, choose some lower cost weaving responsible ......"

He coughed lightly a few times and said with a wry smile: "Ah Zhen, you say, I, the emperor, am it useless?" ”

Sizhen raised his head in surprise: "Why should the emperor be so arrogant, since you came into power, what you have done, the subjects have seen it, and the courtiers still remember that the leniency and appeasement policy you issued has caused many fewer soldiers in various places!" 'Thinking that the bandits everywhere are our people, or forced by hunger and cold, or driven by greedy officials, they have been repeatedly suppressed over the years, and there is no time for peace. It's all because the generals in charge of the army ordered their subordinates to kill the good and risky ...... 'how sympathetic and generous!' Even if the courtiers were still ignorant at that time, they heard a lot of good things about the emperor! ”

Listening to Sizhen Qinglang reciting his edict to the Ministry of War in the second month of his pro-government, Fu Lin's face showed appreciation: "I didn't expect that King Dingnan would even teach you this, and you still remember!" ”

Sizhen saw that Fulin's face softened, and he didn't have the compelling posture just now, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to persuade him: "In the opinion of the courtiers, the emperor's diligence is the blessing of the people of the world, but you also have to take care of your body. ”

"Ah Zhen, do you think the military situation can be delayed?" Fu Lin raised his eyes to look at Sizhen.

In the dim light, his eyes were unusually bright.

Sizhen's heart jumped, and he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "The courtiers are talkative, please punish the emperor." ”

"Then you say, how should I punish you?" Fu Lin smiled and said with a smile.

The smell of ambergris in the imperial study spread from the bronze crane ding, and from Sizhen's side, it fluttered and swayed to Fulin.

As the aroma wafted, there seemed to be something inexplicable, lingering between the two.

Fu Lin's words were ambiguous, and Sizhen was afraid that if he didn't answer well, he would answer wrong, so he just stood in front of the imperial case and lowered his head and didn't move.

And Fu Lin heard her gentle and shallow breathing, and only felt that his own heart was tightly bound by this breath like a musk.

It's better to accept her like this, what does the queen say, what the courtiers say, and what do the people of the world think...... Fu Lin only felt that his heart was blocked, sour, sweet, bitter, astringent, and indescribable.

"I'll punish you, in this life, I will follow me, never abandon me, how about life and death?" Fu Lin took a deep breath and said as calmly as he could.

Silence, silent silence, long silence, so long that Fulin thought that he didn't say that, just thought about it in his heart.

But I heard Sizhen say softly: "The emperor's kindness, the courtier's heart has been understood, the courtier's temperament is not suitable for living in the palace, in this life, I only wish to be able to gallop across the country, not in this palace, waiting for a person, looking forward to a person...... The courtiers never had the idea of entering the palace, and the courtiers thought that in the emperor's life, there would be many young, beautiful, docile, well-behaved, and lovely women...... You don't need a courtier's ......."

Fu Lin sank his face, looked at Sizhen fixedly, and said: "If I say, I only need you, three thousand weak water, and I will only take one scoop to drink......

How can it be? You are the emperor, you are "I"!

Thinking of making that oath in front of the queen mother in white, Sizhen sighed and sighed in her heart, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "Thank you, Lord Longen, the courtiers learned a few days ago that their fathers and mothers had set a family affair for their courtiers before, and they had a marriage contract, so they would live up to the emperor's good intentions!" ”

Fu Lin's heart was like rolling over a sledgehammer, and the pain suffocated him, but as an emperor, when had he ever been rejected like this? Who would dare to reject him like that?

For her sake, he even had to live up to the world, but she rejected him so ruthlessly!

The pride of the Son of Heaven made Fu Lin sneer: "You don't want to use those words to prevaricate me, if you don't want to, you don't want to, I am not such a strong person, in this world, what kind of woman do I want?" I want to whisper in front of you Kong Sizhen, but just like that, you are not rare! I don't believe it, but in this world, there is no one who makes me happy and obedient...... Alright, you can go, don't get in the way of me......"
