Yu Zidu's hand under his sleeve trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, Longyou wants to ......"

Before Yu Zi could finish speaking, Cheng Guogong had already stood up, "Your Majesty, it's his honor to be able to do an errand for you, why do you need any reward?!" ”

Cheng Guogong's agitation disrupted Yu Zidu's plan. As he spoke, he turned his back and glanced at Yu Zidu, his eyes were full of warning, and he turned his head and looked at the emperor with a smile.

The emperor smiled: "Hehe, Grandpa Guo is too modest. ”

Yu Zidu took a deep breath, his eyes swept over Hua Shaoyan opposite, but he saw him unhurriedly tasting wine, watching the performance on the river, his fingers tapping on the table, as if he was joining the beat, and he didn't care about what happened in the mountain shed at all.

Yu Zidu retracted his gaze, lowered his head and thought secretly for a moment, put aside Hua Shaoyan, today is a great opportunity, if you miss it, your grandfather will definitely mention it to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will go to the emperor to say it again, then I am afraid there will be no suitable opportunity in the future. If you want to find the person you like, you must spend a lot of time.

Yu Zidu made up his mind, raised his head and clasped his fists with both hands, and opened his mouth to mention it again, but he heard the report from the chamberlain, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked Yu Shizi, Chen Shiyu of the Hanlin Academy, and Wang Jian to make a trip to the Xishan Shed. ”

The emperor was surprised, "What is the matter with the queen mother suddenly looking for them?" ”

"The Queen Mother has a few poems there, and I want to invite the prince and the two adults to come over to appreciate and evaluate one or two."

The emperor immediately seemed to think of something, and laughed loudly: "Longyou, you go quickly!" The queen mother must have a good thing to find you, by the way, think about what reward you like, and tell me when you come back later, hehe! ”

"Longyou, don't go yet!"

Yuzi closed his eyes and opened them again. With a sigh, he bowed to the emperor and said, "Yes." Longyou obeys the emperor's holy decree. ”

Yu Zidu and the other two followed the waiter out of the mountain shed.

The emperor smiled and watched the three of them leave, "Today is a good day, come, everyone will raise their glasses and drink together." ”

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses and sang together: "Long live thanks!" ”

The wine is in the belly and hearty.

Hua Shaoyan stood up, changed his previous seriousness and indifference, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Your Majesty, since you said that today is a good day." That Weichen wants to have some fun, and has the courage to ask you for your will. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I have seen you serious for a long time, and I am so happy today." It must be a good thing. Go ahead. What will you seek? ”

Hua Shaoyan walked in front of the people, bowed to the emperor, and breathed a sigh of relief. Lang said: "The emperor promised to give Wechen a marriage decree to exchange military merits for a self-choice marriage at the spring banquet of the Qi Palace, and Wechen wanted to marry the three girls of the Shangguan family in the Ministry of Works, and asked the emperor for permission!" ”

……

In the Xishan shed, Yu Zidu and the two of them greeted the Queen Mother, and on the left hand side sat the wives of each family, and on the right hand side there was a light gauze screen. The clouds and sideburns in it are full of shadows.

After giving the seat, the Queen Mother said some words on the scene. took the impromptu poems of the "talented girls" who happened to come to see the dragon boat race just now, and invited Yu Zidu and the two talented people to comment on them.

Chen and Wang, who went with Yu Zidu, were both weak and unmarried, and at this time, facing the light gauze screen, they naturally understood the intention of the Queen Mother, but they were faintly excited in their hearts. But the two of them are also smart people, and they know in their hearts that the protagonist this time is not themselves, but such a rare opportunity should not be missed, the two took the few poems and looked at each other, and thought about asking Yuzi to comment first.

Chen Shiyu politely said to Yu Zidu: "It's better for the prince to comment first!" ”

Where did Yu Zidu have that thought, he already understood this scene after he came in, and then he thought that he didn't know what the situation was over there, and he was inexplicably a little irritable in his heart, he didn't listen to what the Queen Mother said, let alone read the manuscripts on a few cases. At this time, Chen Shiyu asked him to speak, and he came back to his senses and nodded at Chen and Wang, "I'll take a look again, it's better for Brother Chen and Brother Wang to invite first!" ”

Yu Zidu said this, Chen and Wang were not polite, picked up the poems one by one and commented on them, and tried their best to show their talents.

At this time, two people sneaked in from both sides of the mountain shed, one went straight to Yu Zidu, and the other was Princess Duanyang, who was sitting on the main seat.

"Lord Shizi-" Mo Zhe quietly approached Yu Zidu.

Yu Zidu was just when he couldn't give up, when he heard a familiar voice, he hurriedly turned around, looked at Mo Zhe's face, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Zhe looked embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Not long after you left, General Hua Shao suddenly asked for a decree to let the emperor give him a wife from Shangguan Girl. The emperor hesitated for a moment, and the little one wanted to come over to look for you, but he was stopped by Grandpa Guo. He also got up to help the young general speak......"

The formulaic smile on Yu Zidu's face disappeared, and the poem manuscript in his hand was crumpled, "Did you only tell me that the emperor agreed to it?" ”

Mo Zhe lowered his head and whispered like a mosquito: "Your Majesty, he ...... Finally agreed. ”

The manuscript of the poem in Yu Zidu's hand fell to the ground, sat in a daze, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

On the east side of the head, Princess Duanyang heard Mama Duan coming to report the time, and her face changed greatly, and she didn't dare to attack because everyone was present, and scolded in a low voice: "This damn bastard boy, dare to lie to me last time?!" ”

Mama Duan secretly stroked the princess's back, "Princess, don't be impulsive!" ”

Princess Duanyang was so angry that her teeth itched, "What did Hua Nan do when he was a father?" I had already communicated with him last time, and he was a big man present, how could he let his son go to ask for marriage? ”

Princess Duanyang's voice couldn't help but raise a point, causing the people around her to look sideways, Mama Duan coughed lightly in embarrassment, and lowered her voice to persuade: "This is a big court, don't be angry with the Ninth Young Master at this moment, if there is anything to talk about when you return home." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to have gotten the news, the smile on her face expanded slightly, and she turned her head to look at Princess Duanyang, "Duanyang, I just got the news, the emperor personally ordered Shulan to marry, congratulations!" ”

The corners of Duanyang's lips pulled out a stiff smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Queen Mother!" ”

After speaking, Princess Duanyang sat down and didn't want to mention another word, raised her hand and pressed her temples, her eyes inadvertently swept over Yu Zidu, and hummed secretly in her heart, your nephew is willing, your father and daughter can't look down on it, push it to our family at this time, see what makes you happy! Hua Shaoyan, it's all you bastard boy who is causing trouble!

Yu Zidu was silent for a long time, couldn't sit still anymore, got up and arched his hand towards the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother, Brother Chen and Brother Wang are all literary and elegant people, and the two of them are here to help Niangniang taste." Longyou suddenly felt unwell, and wanted to ask for resignation first, hoping that the Queen Mother would be gracious! ”

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, although she was dissatisfied that Yuzi had lost her face, but after thinking about it, he failed to do so today, and she must be unhappy in her heart, and she didn't want to make it difficult for others, so she said: "In this case, you should step down!" ”

As soon as Yuzi left, there were slight sighs of regret from behind the screen from time to time.

Princess Duanyang looked at the back of Yu Zidu leaving, and wiped the water stains on the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, "Look at Longyou's steady pace, don't you want to be unwell?" On weekdays, Shulan and Longyou serve by the emperor's side, and one article and one martial arts complement each other, I also think that maybe I can be happy today, but I didn't think that it was only our Shulan alone, hey...... It is said that Shulan has a hard idea, I think Longyou is also a stubborn temper, you and Lao Guogong have to worry more. ”

……

A gust of wind blew across the river, blowing the clear water, disturbing people's hearts, and dispelling dreams.

Yu Zidu stood by the river, with those joyful drums and human cheers echoing in his ears, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but cross a wry smile, and now these have become other people's congratulatory songs. Who is to blame? blame herself for being too soft, if she had said her thoughts without scruples at that time, the person who would have joined hands with her in the future should be herself, right?

The figure next to him flickered, and Yuzi waved his hand irritably, "Don't bother me!" ”

The man didn't move, standing side by side with him and looking into the distance, "I regret blaming myself for not finishing my words in one breath at that time, but leaving there in accordance with the will of the emperor and the queen mother." ”

Yu Zidu turned around, saw Hua Shaoyan standing beside him, glanced at him lightly, then turned his head and looked at the other side of the river again, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I regret it, I regret that I neglected to guard against you, and I missed a move." ”

"Hehe-" Hua Shaoyan chuckled, and then withdrew his smile, "Even if I take the first step to ask for an order today, your grandfather will stop you, you are a humble gentleman, your heart is higher than the sky, you have great ambitions, and you are thoughtful in dealing with people's affairs...... There are pros to this, but there are also disadvantages, and sometimes there are too many concerns and it is bound to be indecisive. I've made that mistake before......"

Yuzi didn't respond, and Hua Shaoyan's words hit him in the heart. He hadn't thought about these things before, but now it seems that being cautious and thoughtful is not always and everywhere that can reap good results, such as his brush with Qing Dai today.

Hua Shaoyan looked sideways at Yu Zidu, "However, even if you ask for an order first, I won't sit idly by." After waiting for her for so many years, I won't let her go easily. ”

Hua Shaoyan's words made Yu Zi a little confused.

At this moment, Hua Shaoyan's eyes were dark, and his contemplative eyes gave people the feeling that a long-ago memory had been awakened in his heart, and Yu Zi could deeply feel the persistence and determination hidden in the deep black lurking like the night, as well as the indescribable and lingering sadness......

Yu Zidu was in a trance for a moment, Hua Shaoyan's eyes had regained calm, and he could no longer see the complicated emotions just now.

"The princess may not be satisfied with this family business......"

"My mother is not my child, and the burden on my shoulders is not so heavy...... Besides, I am the one who marries my daughter-in-law, not my wife. ”

Yu Zidu looked at Hua Shaoyan scrutinically, as if considering the weight of his words.

Hua Shaoyan smiled slightly and continued: "I will protect her!" ”

The domineering words made Yu Zi stunned, and for a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he wanted to let go of the unhappiness in his chest, and then turned his head to look at Hua Shaoyan, with a confident smile on the corner of his lips, "If you can't protect it...... Then replace me! ”

Not to be outdone, Hua Shaoyan smiled back, "I won't give you a chance!" ”

"I'll watch!" After speaking, Yuzi turned around and walked towards the central mountain shed.

Hua Shaoyan stood on the bank of the river, looking in the direction of the east of the city, "I will protect her in this life, the next life, and the ...... for the rest of the world" (to be continued.)
