A string in Song Ran's heart suddenly tightened, as if it would be broken at any time, her brain was blank, and she didn't know how to defend herself for a while, so she just fell to the ground, like fish on a knife, waiting for him to fall.

The Son of Heaven looked at the slender figure kneeling on the ground, and walked in front of her with his hands in his hands, his tone was still gentle: "The first time I saw Miss Mo was at the willow shooting competition in the Tiger Camp, at that time, Miss Mo lied that she was Lord Shen's close attendant and deceived me. Later, at the flower viewing banquet and Xiao Mansion in Taifu's Mansion, I met the ink girl dressed in women's clothes......"

His memory was so good that she was amazed, and all the details were described in the slightest.

"Uncle Wang said that Miss Mo was his distant relative, and Lord Xiao said that Miss Mo eloped with him so that she would be incognito."

When she heard this, she couldn't help but look up, her face was full of surprise: "Lord Xiao, he ......"

He actually played a round for her like this?

Isn't he the most literati and regards fame and honor more than anything else?

"I was also surprised at that time, Lord Xiao was clean and self-conscious, and his character was noble, how could he do such a humiliating thing as abducting a woman from a good family? Now I understand that Lord Xiao probably feels guilty. When he withdrew from the Mo family's marriage contract, he may have owed something to Miss Mo in his heart, so he tried his best to maintain it. ”

He walked over to the tea table next to him and sat down.

He was wearing a moon-white plain robe, with a wide robe, because he was still in mourning, he did not wear a crown, and there was no jade around his waist. In his body, he does not have the fierce momentum of the Ninety-Five Supreme, but the nobility between his words and deeds is also very comparable.

"Concealed her identity before, and the courtiers had the hardships of the courtiers, not deliberately deceiving the saints. Not to mention ......"

"What's more?"

"What's more, the saint has not yet ascended the throne at that time, and the courtiers are not considered to bully the king."

He smiled: "Miss Mo is right, if I blame it for this, it seems that I am calculating." He looked at her gently and said, "Lingtang is the princess of Taizu's own title, and I should call the imperial aunt when I see it, you are the twenty-eighth birthday of the lunar month, and I will be two months older than you." The smile in his eyes was even stronger, "Shaowei, you should also call me brother." ”

He suddenly called her by her name, which made her stunned, he ...... When did you know her birthdate?

He naturally knew about her birthday, and in the past few days, he had sent someone to check her thoroughly. Before today, he didn't know that she was the young master of the Mo family, and when he met her in the Xiao Mansion before, although he was interested in her true identity, he didn't deliberately pursue it.

Although he has a good impression of her, he has no intention of having in-depth contact with her, her relationship with Shen Hanxi is ambiguous, and her relationship with King Chengwu and Xiao Yan is also extraordinary, and there is no room for a woman with a complicated identity by his side. Since he didn't mean that in the first place, naturally he didn't need to bother to explore everything about her.

But today, when he saw her here, he could only think that it was fate.

Since she was destined to be his, why should he ask for it?

"Stop kneeling, get up and talk to me. You are a guest of the Imperial Grandmother, and you do not need to share with me. ”

Song Ran thanked him, got up from the ground, saw his eyes on the teapot, and immediately stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea. His gaze fell on her slender snow-white wrist, and his gaze grew hot.

Sensing his gaze, her body froze, and she took a half step back, standing aside with her eyes down. Sensing her wariness of himself, he quietly withdrew his gaze from her and took a sip of tea.

"Aren't you going to talk to me about your troubles?"

"Courtier...... There are unspeakable hidden. ”

Unspeakable, that is, what you don't intend to say.

"What if I command you?"

"Then I can only ask the Holy Lord, and forgive the sin of the courtiers for deceiving the king."

The Son of Heaven sighed: "I'd rather bully the king than mention it, it seems that it is really unspeakable." He put the teacup down, "That's it, I don't want to force you to do it." I don't pursue the past. ”

She didn't expect him to let go of herself so easily, and in her hesitant gaze, he laughed: "The imperial grandmother called me to come over to discuss the matter, but she fell asleep, I wait here, you don't need to be restrained, you can do what you have to do." ”

She paused, her expression stiffened: "The Empress Dowager asked you to come?" ”

He looked at her for a long time: "You and I both understand what the imperial grandmother means by such an arrangement. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to wake up in a short period of time. ”

She didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be so resolute.

She was only in the palace on the first day, and she was arranged to share a room with the emperor. If the emperor meant that, wouldn't she ......

The fingers hidden in the sleeves spasmed slightly.

If the Mo family marries the imperial family, it can not only consolidate the position of the emperor, but also not let the situation get out of the control of the empress dowager.

The Emperor should not refuse. What reason did he have for refusal?

Her face turned pale, and her hands unconsciously moved to her chest. was fighting in his heart, but he heard the man's harmonious tone: "Don't worry, I have no intention of accepting such an arrangement. With that, he told her, "Go and find a book for me to pass the time." ”

Song Ran was amnesty, so he hurriedly went to the bookshelf to find a book, and after holding it to him, he asked, "Is this one good?" ”

He glanced down and saw that she was holding a copy of the "Long and Short Sutra", which he had read since he was seven years old, but nodded at her and said, "Very good." ”

Song Ran saw that he really read the book, and he didn't mean to continue to embarrass himself, and the heart he was carrying slowly fell back into his heart.

She stood aside, occasionally offering him a cup of tea, and for a moment the only sound of turning pages could be heard in the hall.

Halfway through, one of the chamberlains opened a crack in the door, peeked inside for a while, then quietly closed the door again, and hurried to the Empress Dowager's dormitory to report the news.

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes on the couch, and the old voice sounded tiredly in the dormitory: "The mourning family is old, and this country will be his one day." He is not like his biological father, but more like the former emperor who has just passed away, he seems to be gentle, but in fact he is resolute in his mind, and he will not back down even a cent. In this regard, they are all like Emperor Taizu. ”

She was like an ordinary old woman, recalling her life.

"Everyone says that Taizu respects the mourning family, but his respect for the mourning family is compensation for the mourning family. Before giving birth to the princess, the mourning family had two children, but the two children disappeared quietly, and the mourning family didn't even have time to know whether the two children were boys or girls. Later, the mourning family became pregnant with a princess, and she died nine times to save her life. Knowing that the mourning family gave birth to a daughter, including Emperor Taizu, everyone should be relieved, but God can't stand it. The little princess did not live to be three years old when she was taken away by a plague. ”

"This is about the life of the mourning family, and the mourning family recognizes. It's only to blame the father and brother of the mourning family for being too popular, if the mourning family gives birth to an heir, no one in the court can suppress it. Emperor Taizu did not forget to make a rule before his death, and the daughter of the Xie family could no longer be the queen. ”

When she said this, she was almost muttering to herself: "The Xie family can't be the queen, and the mourning family can't look at the back and fall into the hands of other families." Twilight Yu is the daughter of the mourning family, closer than her own daughter, she has never disobeyed the meaning of the mourning family, and the mourning family is also at ease with the Mo family. With such a gift in front of him, why was the emperor not moved? ”

The waiter rubbed her shoulders and said, "The Son of Heaven is the age of blood and strength, and now he lacks such a fire, it is better to let the slave ......" said, with a meaningful expression on his face.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes again and said lazily: "Go ahead, do it more hidden." ”

The chamberlain commanded: "The slave understands." ”

Above the side hall, Song Ran was a little distracted, and he didn't even notice it in time when he handed over the empty tea cup with a hand.

"Less."

Hearing the man call herself, she returned in a daze, and hurriedly went to change the tea for him, and when she carried the teapot, she found that it had bottomed out. She walked outside the palace gate and instructed the palace people to make a new pot of tea.

The Son of Heaven put down the scroll, got up and moved for a while, and asked the palace maid who came to change tea: "Hasn't the imperial grandmother woken up yet?" ”

The little palace maid said: "I guess it's time to wake up, and the saint will wait a while." Then he bowed and withdrew, and walked slowly to the gate, and when he turned back, he drank all the tea that he had poured at the right time, and then he closed the door of the temple with confidence.

The Son of Heaven smiled leisurely: "It seems that the imperial grandmother has not achieved her goal, and she will not give up." ”

Song Ran made up his mind, walked up to him, and knelt down again.

She kowtowed to him and whispered: "The arrangement of the Empress Dowager is not what the courtiers want, nor is it what the saints want, the courtiers dare to beg you, say a few good words for the courtiers in front of her old man, and let the courtiers go back." ”

She knelt until her neck stiffened, and she heard the man's slightly deep voice: "I understand, I don't want it, but how do you know that you're not what I want?" ”

These words made her heart, which had just calmed down, churn again.

"If I get you, I will get the support of the Mo family, my throne will be stable, and the imperial grandmother will no longer have to be suspicious, I will rely on the support of the ministers or other families, and I will get more than one stone, what reason do I have not to want to?"

Song Ran's heart became heavier and heavier, and after listening to his words, he was already sweating.

Even so, her tone was still calm: "The saint has obtained a courtier, but he may not be able to get the support of the Mo family, the Mo family has not interfered in politics for nearly twelve years, and no one in the Mo family's descendants is an official in the court, even if the courtiers marry into the royal family, they will not break this rule." ”

The man said, "What I need is not the real power that the Mo family can bring to me, but the prestige of the Mo family. As long as the people of the world know that there is a Mo family behind me, this is enough. What I need now is not a backer to give me peace of mind, but an opportunity for me to flex my muscles. ”

"Give me enough time, I will return Dajing to a prosperous world."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to her: "Shaowei, do you really not want to come with me?" ”
