The carriage was flaunted all the way under the astonished eyes of everyone, passing through the imperial study without stopping, and went straight into the harem. The wind galloped off the horse and opened the curtain: "Ninth lady, it's here." ”

Noya was helped out of the car, the light and shadow were dappled, the bamboo leaves were rustling, and for a moment, she suspected that she had entered the Bamboo Garden Annex. And not the Imperial Palace.

"The master is waiting for you inside." Feng Chi handed an eight-treasure glass lamp to Noah and retreated.

Holding a glass lantern in his hand, Noya walked forward from the bamboo forest, stepping on the bamboo leaves and rustling under his feet.

Now that it is late autumn, this bamboo forest is newly planted, and it has encountered autumn wind and frost, and the bamboo leaves have fallen all over the ground, and I don't know if it can survive this cold winter.

Walking out of the bamboo forest, there is still the scene in the bamboo garden in front of me, brick by brick, each bluestone slab, as if the bamboo garden has been moved over, even the smooth stone in the yard is there, and there is moss at the bottom.

The door of Chu Qingchen's study was wide open, and she walked over gently, Chu Qingchen was facing her direction, bowing her head and sketching with a fine brush, her sword eyebrows and sideburns, flamboyant and focused, just like that day on the stage of the natural residence, she was magnificent.

Noah stayed at the door of the study, a little hesitant whether she should make a big salute.

"Come in." He didn't lift his head.

"Did you move all the bamboo gardens here?" Noya came in generously and couldn't help but ask.

"It's inconvenient to leave the palace in the future, but there are some things that I can't put down, so I simply moved them all." Chu Qingchen put the brush in his hand on the inkstone, and there was a box next to it, which was full of paintings.

"I'm going to give it to you to make a palace, do you like it?"

Noah suddenly didn't know how to speak, and just shook her head.

"Those bamboos may not be able to live if they are moved, it's always a pity."

"If it's deserted, it's waste, as long as it's in my heart, it's splendid and prosperous." Chu Qingchen pretended not to hear her pun, and raised his head to look at her: "I always stubbornly think that the original thing is the best." ”

"The palace is not suitable for bamboo, it is too thin, it always gives people a feeling of depression and coldness, you may like something else, plum blossoms, peonies, begonias, anything. Perhaps, orchids are more worthy of your character. ”

Chu Qingchen's gaze crossed her and looked at the bamboo forest behind her, ethereal: "I always can't forget that afternoon in the bamboo forest, which is the warmth of my life." ”

Noah smiled slightly: "I know that you have already made a choice in your heart, and you can let it go." ”

Chu Qingchen shook his head: "There is a saying, it is called enduring the pain of cutting love, making a choice, it may not mean letting go, but just enduring the pain of drilling into the heart and putting her in the deepest position in the bottom of my heart." ”

Noah smiled more and more calmly: "From the moment you decided to let me and Ah Jiu go to Huguang to announce the holy decree, I know that I can finally face you calmly in the future." ”

"Yes, since then, I no longer have the qualifications to swear that I like you, otherwise, how could Xiao Jiu show off his might in front of me, so rampant."

"Rampant?" Noah can't imagine what Baili Jiu will look like, and can his tail be lifted to the sky?

"Yes, it's rampant, you know, he actually fell into my face in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers this morning. Not only did he disdain my tiger talisman, but he was so proud that he used himself as an excuse to be a father, as if I, the future emperor, were not as glorious as him as a father. And he didn't want the tiger talisman I gave him, and said that his hand was going to wash the child's diaper in the future, so he wouldn't defile my Da Chu's tiger talisman.

Could it be that he is the only one who is the father of my Great Chu civil and military officials? What is there to show off, that face makes me look very uncomfortable. ”

"So you deliberately let Feng Chi pass the decree to bring me close to the palace, just to anger him?"

Noya could already imagine how Baili Jiu was deliberately angry with Chu Qingchen at that time in the court.

"Not only that," Chu Qingchen's thin lips curled slightly, and he also had a touch of pride: "Two days later will be my enthronement ceremony, and it will also be your canonization ceremony." For these two days, you will not go back to the General's Palace, stay in the palace, and prepare for the canonization ceremony. ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will smash your palace door in a fit of rage?" Noah joked.

Chu Qingchen shook his head: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Maybe he will lead his troops to disrupt your enthronement ceremony. That's a stunned young man, and he doesn't think too much about the consequences of doing things. ”

"Then he must also have a tiger talisman, I am waiting for him to come and ask me for a tiger talisman."

Noya raised her hand to cover her forehead, looking helpless: "Why me again?" How the two of you are willing to fight back and forth is your own business, always use me as a shield, and the people of Dachu will scold me for being a disaster. ”

Chu Qingchen smiled: "I have to let him know that in the world, the emperor may be able to provoke, but there is one person he must not provoke." ”

"Who?" Noya couldn't help but ask, is there anyone in the world who is more powerful than the emperor?

Chu Qingchen smiled indifferently, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of jokes: "This person is not the emperor, but the eldest brother." ”

Nuoya looked at him blankly, and laughed out loud for a while, and understood what Chu Qingchen meant: "It's good to have the support of my mother's family, he will definitely not dare to bully me again in the future." ”

Chu Qingchen also laughed, but the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.

He was afraid that Baili Jiu would really go into hiding, far away from the prosperous land of the capital, he was afraid that he would take Noya away and fly away, and he would never see him again when he died of old age, he was afraid of his persistence, which scared Noya, and she would not smile so gently and freely at him again.

He was too scared, so he pretended to be chic, pretending that he had let go of it all, and hid this woman deep in his heart. He did everything he could to keep her. He would never let Baili Jiu take her away from his side, this was his maximum concession.

If you can't be a husband and wife, let him be her brother, you can have reasons and excuses to protect her, and you can look at her and comfort your heart when you miss her madly. In this way, it is already the best ending.

Noya left the General's Mansion, and Baili Jiu received the news that she was taken away by Feng Chi and was charged with trumped-up charges. I was not angry, so I immediately rode a fast horse and went to the palace to inquire about the news.

The guards at the gate of the palace got Chu Qingchen's instructions in advance, stopped him outside the palace, and did not allow him to step into the palace gate, and the palace blocked all the news about Nuoya, which made Baili Jiu anxious like ants in a hot pot.

Baili Mansion is in the limelight these days, and Baili Jiu walks with the wind. As the so-called 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, today is still above the court, and the proud Baili Jiu, this time he was deflated, and was watched by the hundreds of officials who went in and out of the court, gloating.

Jin Niang is now out of the drunken dream building, changed her appearance, and turned into the right envoy of the ministry, the official worships the three products, and the name is Sun Jin. As the saying goes, make the best use of things and make the best use of people's talents, Gongsun Jin's wonderful eyes can penetrate people's hearts, and it is very suitable to be responsible for the promotion and appointment of officials in the DPRK and China.

When he got the appointment, he immediately took office, and when he left the palace gate, he happened to see Bailijiu lying outside the palace gate, with his arm on his pillow, and a grass in his mouth, bored.

The officials all walked away from him, but he came to him, also gloating.

"Ninth Master, what about basking in the sun here?"

Baili Jiu glanced at him obliquely: "Hey, it turned out to be Lord Gongsun, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Gongsun Jin sat on the ground in front of him: "Long time no see, I heard that the ninth master is about to become a father?" ”

Baili Jiu spit out the grass roots in his mouth, looked at Gongsun Jin's chest and smiled sinisterly: "You are about to become a nurse, and the two of us are counting on you." ”

Gongsun Jin's face was black: "Ninth Master, don't open any pot and mention which pot, now I am a man." ”

"It's okay, we don't dislike it."

Gongsun Jin's heart seemed to have been kicked hard by a donkey, and he couldn't imagine that he was holding a meat dumpling and showing his heart. humming with a loving face, thinking about the mess in my heart, it's miserable.

He felt that he continued to stay, and in front of Baili Jiu, he was also humiliating, this man's mouth was so damaged, no wonder everyone walked in circles. Gongsun Jin stood up, walked two steps and couldn't move, and looked down to see that some people's hands were holding the hem of his official robe.

"Ninth Master, at the gate of this palace, everyone is not pulling and pulling, right? After all, the rumors about our broken sleeves have not stopped yet, and they are on the cusp. ”

What Gongsun Jin said is the truth, although he changed into men's clothes, but there are many ministers in the court who coveted his beauty at the beginning, how can they not recognize it? But this is not a glorious thing, everyone met, hummed, tacitly, and no one revealed anyone's shortcomings, and it passed like this. However, Baili Jiu, a frequent visitor to the Drunken Dream Building, and Gongsun Jin's guest in the scene, can lead people to reverie and talk about it.

Baili Jiu raised his face, facing the sun, a little dazzling, so he simply sat up: "I can't eat fish, but I get fishy, that's what I mean by the ninth master." He, Chu Qingchen, chose a clean and transparent one, which made it difficult for me to argue with the ninth master. ”

Gongsun Jin also sighed a lot, and said with a deep face: "It's the same end of the world." ”

Baili Jiu stretched the hem of his clothes and motioned him to squat down: "After you entered the palace, did you hear any news?" ”

Gongsun Jin looked puzzled: "What news?" ”

"It's about Noya, what did Chu Qingchen do when he caught Noya in the palace? What is Ann's mind? Where did you lock up Noah again? ”

Gongsun Jin waved his hand secretly: "I don't know anything, don't ask me." ”

Bailijiu's intuition was that there was something, there was something greasy in it, and the hand that was clutching it refused to let go, and the two legs were wrapped around Gongsun Jin: "If you don't say it today, don't think about leaving." ”

Gongsun Jin struggled twice and didn't break free, and sighed helplessly: "Go back, ah, Ninth Master." ”

"Say it quickly."

Gongsun Jin shook his head: "I really don't know anything, we entered the palace to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the second prince." ”

"What else?"

"What's more, the second prince also instructed the Ministry of Rites to tailor a set of ceremonial clothes for Nuoya, saying that he wore it when he participated in the canonization ceremony."

When Baili Jiu heard this, his heart "chuckled": "What kind of uniform?" What format? ”

"I don't know much about this, but I heard that the second prince also ordered someone to create a butterfly duck seal, so I don't know who it was for?"

"It's over, it's over." Baili Jiu let go of Gongsun Jin dejectedly, this butterfly duck seal is used to manage the harem, Chu Qingchen ordered someone to build it at this time, what use can it be? A bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, it was a canonization ceremony and a seal, isn't this a lice on a bald man's head, an obvious thing? He Chu Qingchen definitely didn't have a good heart!
