Shen Hanxi's expression was calm and graceful: "The Holy Lord handed him over to me, and I am confident that I can let him sit firmly in this position, but if he is obedient, I am afraid that there will be other 'masters' behind him." ”

As early as the beginning of this year, the prince approached him, consciously or unconsciously, and removed some obstacles by his hand, which he did not think was a means that the prince would take. What's more, in the early years, the prince's uncle had committed a crime at his hands, and he didn't believe that the prince forgot about this festival so quickly.

There was a touch of boredom on his face: "The saint is bedridden, and all his eyes are staring at the East Palace, but if he makes the slightest mistake, he will become the name of the crown prince." He had better know how to lift up, otherwise he would keep his eyes open and wait to see how long the official could let him sit in this seat in the East Palace. ”

Song Ran was stunned and looked at him with some complexity. The man she admires is a gentleman who does something and doesn't do anything, but the person in front of her is diametrically opposed to her ideals, he plays with power, turns the clouds and rains, and doesn't even put the prince in his eyes, and even has a little bit of the meaning of playing with it in the palm of his hand.

She felt a little worried about her eyes, and asked hesitantly, "What about ...... What about the attitude of the celebrant? ”

What I am most afraid of is that the celebrant and the cabinet are also of the same mind, and in this way, the power of the East Palace will be completely empty.

He said: "Li Moting is the most fond of trickery, who knows what is going on in his head." Leaning back in the chair, he said, intentionally or unintentionally, "Now, if the prince wants to get out of the predicament, the best way is probably to marry...... and his eyes drifted to her face, frozen, as if he wanted to see a hole in her face.

Song Ran was so stared at him that he couldn't help but avoid his gaze, but his hands were clenched under his sleeves, and his breathing had to be hard to steady.

But he calmly suppressed his emotions, and held out a hand to her, stopping at the side of her face.

She was still not used to his touch, and froze slightly, but did not dodge.

Shen Hanxi only felt that the skin under his hands was as delicate as porcelain, which made people nostalgic, and the face in front of him was also like a peony blooming silently in the moonlight.

His fingertips rubbed on her cheek for a moment, then reluctantly withdrew it, no longer mentioning the court fights, and asked, "What have you been busy with at home these days?" ”

Her expression relaxed a little at this time, and she smiled: "I'm not busy, I read books and listen to plays every day, and I live very comfortably." Occasionally, I go to the shop to see if the Hang brothers are lazy. By the way, the surplus in the shop in the past two months is more than 100 taels, and there is no need to worry about the second half of the year. ”

When she talked about one hundred taels, she was full of energy, and she received a mean evaluation from him: "One hundred taels can make you happy like this, it's really a little family." ”

She said seriously: "Don't underestimate this hundred taels, ordinary people's monthly expenses are only a few taels of silver, and how many people can't eat." When I earn more, I will go to open a porridge shop in front of Huafu Temple, and give free porridge every day to help those who can't eat. ”

He gently rubbed the jade wrench in his hand and said, "If you help them, they will only be grateful to you for a while, if you stop doing good deeds one day, or give less porridge, they will resent you, what are you trying to do?" ”

She said, "I want to be happy." ”

He looked at the clear-eyed girl in front of him and did not speak.

If it were as usual, with his temperament, he would definitely have to scoff at these words, he has always liked to speculate on the world with malice, but the person in front of him is her, so he is reluctant to say a blow.

Why did he have to instill his filthy thoughts in her?

She suddenly asked: "My lord, are you hungry, a new pastry shop has recently opened in the east of the city, which is said to be a century-old brand in Suzhou, which is frighteningly expensive, but the taste is really good." He got up and said, "There are still a few pieces left, I'll go get them for you to taste." ”

He estimated the hour, got up and said, "No need, this official should go." ”

She blurted out: "But you just came to ......" After that, realizing that she was not reserved enough, the roots of her ears burned slightly, but fortunately he didn't pay attention, and said idly: "Do you think anyone is as idle as you." ”

She said in her heart, he was busy during the day, and when he returned home at this time, it was estimated that he didn't have much time to sleep, so he turned around and picked up a lamp and said, "Then I'll send you." ”

He took the lamp from her hand, put it on the table, raised his hand to comb her hair, and said lazily, "Don't go out if you wear so little." If anyone is alarmed, the festival will be ruined by the official. ”

He didn't care about the honor, but now, he wanted her to be innocent.

He has always thought long-term, if he could marry her now, he would have carried her to his house in eight sedan chairs, why do he need to be as sneaky as today. Helplessly, now, his own fate is still hanging by a thread, and she marries in at this time, so she has to accompany him to be afraid. He has not been married all these years, firstly, because he has not met the right person, and secondly, because he has to stay sober at all times.

He knows too well what he wants, so he often breaks the kettle and leaves no way back.

Now, he wants to leave a way out for her.

This retreat is that even if one day, he accidentally ends up in a different place, she has to marry innocently.

She naturally didn't know what he was thinking, just looked at him fixedly, he hooked his lower lip, leaned into her ear and said, "Shaowei, I'm leaving." ”

It was just an ordinary sentence, but it made her heart beat violently.

When he called his name, the affection on the tip of his tongue was hard to ignore.

As he spoke, he was about to leave her ear, but suddenly she reached out and grabbed him by the neck.

She didn't know why she was suddenly so bold, and by the time she calmed down, she couldn't take her movements back.

The two of them were separated by each other, and they breathed and smelled each other.

She was a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, but suddenly had a lot to say in her heart, she looked at the silver thread on the placket of his clothes, no longer restrained herself, and said softly: "My lord, I actually have a lot of worries. I'm worried that one day, I won't be able to help myself and not be able to be with adults. The affection of adults for me may not be to the extent that they have to be with me, but even if it is only a little bit, I don't want adults to waste it. I...... Some don't know what to do. ”

She lowered her hand from his neck and lowered it to her side, the dim light resting on her delicate brow, but it made her eyes even darker.

He frowned, his thin lips pursed slightly. He confessed that she was not the most beautiful person he had ever seen, but he was afraid that he would find a second person like her after searching thousands of mountains and rivers.

He wrapped her hand in his palm and said in a deep voice, "With me here, I didn't need you to do anything. Her little hand lay in his palm, as if she had found a home, no longer trembling as she had just now, and only listened to him continue lightly, "My affection for you is not a star, although it is not necessary for you, but it is always more than you think." If you are afraid that your affection will be wasted, try to be kind to me in the future. Don't think about anything else. Can you remember clearly? ”

He has never said love words in his life, and today he was forced out so much by her, after saying that, both of them were a little silent, and after a long time, she said softly "um" in response.

Dead. A bright moon in the sky shone on this small courtyard. After sending Shen Hanxi away, Song Ran stood by the door for a long time before closing the door, his palm was warm, as if there was still residual warmth left in his hand.

She was determined not to worry about the future anymore, and in this troubled world, there would be someone who would stand by her side.

A few days passed like this, and the son-in-law he met in the bookstore that day sent "Splendid Notes" as promised, and Song Ran asked the little guy who sent the book: "I don't know what your son-in-law is called, how should I return it in the future?" ”

The little guy said: "My son-in-law said that this book is related to the girl, so I gave it to the girl, as for my son-in-law, the girl should also be a destined person, don't inquire anymore." ”

Since the other party refused to reveal her name and surname, she didn't want to ask more, but she was embarrassed to accept it so calmly, so she asked the little guy to wait a while, and went to the room to find a unique copy of a tablet in her own collection, and asked him to hand it over.

In the Shangshu Mansion in the east of the city, when the little servant presented things to Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but smile. This girl is a thoughtful and elegant person. He gave her the "Splendid Story", and he didn't want her to reciprocate, but if she accepted it with peace of mind, or gave him money, it would be boring again.

But, in the final analysis, they were just the fate of the meeting in Pingshui, and he didn't take it to heart. At this time, there are more important things waiting for him.

The current situation is not a mess, the cabinet suppresses the six ministries, the attitude of the celebrant is unclear, and there is also Shen Hanxi, who is powerful and powerful, and on the surface he is assisting the East Palace, but as long as he is there, the prince will never come out......

It is no wonder that the prince will try his best to override public opinion and reinstate himself as an official.

Under the service of his servants and maidservants, he changed into an official robe of red silk yarn. The son, who always gives people an indifferent impression on weekdays, seems to be a different person when he wears this official robe.

A proud bone wrapped in this unicorn robe, exuding a majesty that cannot be violated from the inside out.

Since she got this "Splendid Story", Song Ran has been reading it in her hand all the time, but it is almost rotten, and she has not come up with a clue. This play book is just an ordinary Fengyue story, although the lyrics of the play are indeed sad and sad, and the love of the hero and heroine is indeed lingering, when she read it to Liuniang, she even made her cry a few times, but it doesn't seem to be hiding any mystery inside. Could it be that the mystery of "Splendid Story" is actually outside the story, and has nothing to do with the story itself?

She even began to wonder if the sentence Yan Shining left behind had no special meaning.

The dumb man set up a shelf in the middle of the yard a few days ago and made a swing, Song Ran sat on it leisurely, and asked Liuniang, who was washing clothes next to him: "Speaking of Liu Erlang, what do you think of?" ”

Liuniang pondered for a while and said: "In fact, Liu Erlang's reputation in Liyuan is so big, a big reason is not how well he sings, but because he is so beautiful that he is so beautiful that when the first emperor visited Hangzhou Mansion, he specially invited him to sing in front of the palace." ”

Song Ran couldn't help but pause, the first emperor was born in Lingren, and there were many taboos about summoning Lingren to help him, and when he visited Hangzhou Mansion, he would take the initiative to invite Liu Erlang - no wonder Liu Erlang would become famous.

Liuniang was immersed in memories and said: "I heard that when he sang the last "Splendid Story", he was already in his fifties, but after painting makeup and powder, he was still the same as when he was young, and his figure and appearance were almost impeccable. Piaoxianglou had a sister who went to see it, and after coming back, she was haunted by her dreams, and heard that he was dead, and she burned a handful of paper money for him. ”

Song Ran couldn't help laughing, how good-looking this Liu Erlang looks.

I wanted to continue to ask, but Uncle Zhong came to report: "Young master, the prince sent someone to invite." ”
