Shun Anyan's expression was serious, Tong Guowei couldn't help but laugh when he saw him so nervous, and said: "In the future, as a forehead, your responsibility is to make the princess happy, our forehead in the Qing Dynasty does not eat rice, and the emperor gave you the pearl in his palm, and the future is naturally limitless." But everything still depends on whether you can take care of the princess, you have to understand the way of husband and wife with her, the way of the monarch and the minister, grandpa can teach you to be an errand, but he can't teach you how to get along with husband and wife, if you can't make the princess and the emperor happy, no matter how capable you are, it is useless. I also told you early on that if you marry a princess, you will not be able to enjoy the blessings of others like other uncles and brothers, and from now on, you can only guard the princess wholeheartedly. ”

Maybe ten or twenty years older, this sentence will make Shun Anyan shake, but now he is young and full of affection, only the princess is a treasure in the world in his eyes, and other women are not in his eyes, how can he give up his marriage with the princess for the blessing of all people, at this moment he will keep his grandfather's teachings in his heart, and solemnly swear that he will never live up to the emperor's grace and grandfather's upbringing.

When Shun Anyan rushed back to Wuying Hall on an errand, outside the gate of the imperial city, the governor of Liangjiang was visiting the emperor and came out, and many colleagues were waiting there to congratulate him and practice, Shun Anyan also greeted him, but because someone joked in front of him and shouted his forehead, he couldn't hang on his face and left in a hurry. After all, the emperor has not officially issued a holy decree, so it is better to be steady and low-key.

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Liang Gonggong has instructed the people below, no matter who comes outside the Queen Mother, the emperor will no longer see him, and the Laba Festival Ceremony does not need to be appreciated by the palaces to thank him, Liang Gonggong did not notice that Concubine De Niangniang was displeased, but the emperor has been working hard recently, and it is good to let him rest for half a day, but he doesn't know that Niangniang has a knot, and the emperor also has a heart.

Let's say that Xuan Ye saw Zhang Pengxi, and talked to him about the governance of the river work, and he was mentally invested for a while, and when the monarch and ministers dispersed, he suddenly remembered that Lan Qi was still waiting for him in the warm pavilion, but his heart sank, and he sat at the table for a long time before he got up and walked outside. didn't wear clothes to avoid the cold, as soon as he went out, he was frozen and sober, Liang Gonggong hurriedly brought the clothes to drape on his shoulders for the emperor, Xuan Ye pushed away and asked, "What is Niangniang doing?" ”

Mr. Liang: "The emperor didn't let me disturb, the slave didn't dare to go in to see, the left and right Huanchun are in the house, and they will be able to serve a good mother." ”

Xuan Ye came all the way to the warm pavilion, and the cotton curtain in front of the door was half lifted, and he heard the inside say: "The wind is pouring in, you go and see if the emperor is scattered." When he stepped inside, he saw Huanchun come out, and the two sides bumped into each other, and the emperor motioned for her to go out quietly. When I went inside, I saw Lan Qi sitting cross-legged in front of the kang table, there was a game of chess on the table, she was holding the chess game in one hand and the white jade chess pieces in the other, looking at the chessboard and looking at the chess game, as if she was leisurely. This made Xuan Ye a little surprised, but the aura around Lan Qi didn't make him expect to see such a scene.

Lan Qi turned her head inadvertently, but when she didn't see Huanchun, she saw that Xuan Ye had already come, and she didn't get up, so she smiled warmly: "This game of chess can't be solved by the concubine." ”

Xuan Ye walked up to her, glanced at the chess game twice, and said impatiently: "I told you this game of chess twice, why don't you remember?" ”

Lan Qi flipped through the chess game and said in disbelief: "When did the emperor say it, why don't the concubines remember?" Seeing Xuan Ye's tiger face, he vaguely remembered what happened before, and sure enough, he had talked about it, and the last time Xuan Ye said that he had said it, he also asked the same thing, and he couldn't help but smile: "The chess games all look similar, and the concubines can't remember it." ”

Xuan Ye sat beside her, not as impatient as Fang Cai, holding her hand and holding the chess pieces, patiently explaining every step, but he couldn't take it to heart, Lan Qi didn't listen attentively, just looked at Xuan Ye's side face intently, the years and wind and dust have left traces on his face, and he no longer saw the white face and immaturity of his youth, now that he thinks about it, the emperor back then was really childish, and now he is more and more masculine, but she herself is old.

Thinking of her old age, thinking of the fine lines at the corners of her eyes that she saw in the mirror in the morning, Lan Qi unconsciously stepped back, afraid of getting too close to be seen clearly by Xuan Ye, but she forgot that the emperor was holding her hand to play chess, this time it seemed to be a struggle to avoid, so that Xuan Ye withdrew his thoughts from the absent-minded explanation, looked at Lan Qi with deep eyes, and deliberately squeezed the hand holding her a little harder, and asked, "Do you still want to learn?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head: "I don't have a mind." ”

"What's wrong?"

She smiled: "I just want to look at you." When the two places were separated, they didn't miss it so much, but they felt that they missed it deeply when they were close to it, Your Majesty, the concubine's words sounded pretentious, right? ”

Xuan Ye nodded, let go of her hand and took the whole person into his arms, the big hand gently slid down her shoulder and neck and her arm, gently stroking it repeatedly, thinking that it was going to be quiet like this, the emperor suddenly asked: "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

"I just think that I'm just like everyone else, I'm afraid that I'm getting old, I'm afraid that after the age of forty, I won't be able to snuggle up with you like this again." I thought I couldn't speak, but just like his warm chest, all my worries were left behind, my body and mind were at ease, without scruples, and I said slowly, "Lan Ying said that her way of being a husband is to tie Ah Ling'a firmly by her side, she is still young, and she is very cute and coquettish, but I am old, Nian Tong can write this handwriting, and ask me to learn from her appearance and play tricks with you, I really can't do it." ”

Xuan Ye's chin gently rubbed against her bun, Lan Qi still had plump black hair, and he smiled: "I haven't grown gray hair yet, why did you get old?" Earlier, there was a person who was so proud that no matter how old she was, she would always be younger than me. ”

Putting aside their dignity and humility with each other, as if they were just talking about husband and wife, Lan Qi didn't know what to think, as if this was the last time she put down her identity as an imperial concubine in front of the emperor, and just wanted to say what she wanted to say in her heart.

"When I was young, I would have the strength to say something like that, ignoring the rush of time, thinking that youth would last forever, but now when I look back, I realize how reckless and superficial I am." Lan Qi smiled softly, her eyes flickered, and she said, "When I was young, I couldn't see others in your arms, and I could still rely on my youth and beauty to be jealous and coquettish, but now I have the heart to do this, even if you allow me to do this, I can't say it." People have to be self-aware, but they see themselves too clearly......"

The room was suddenly quiet, Xuan Ye was fascinated by what he heard, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked the person in his arms, "What's wrong?" ”

Lan Qi sat up slowly, looked at her man affectionately, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that when I become a white-haired old woman, I will still have this hearty temper, and I will feel troublesome myself." ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "In the end, it's because I saw all of them on the road, and you got angry." ”

Lan Qi shook her head, but asked: "The emperor said that there is nothing to say between us, and the concubine wants to ask you a few words?" ”

Xuan Ye nodded, blaming her: "You have always been suspicious." ”

"The concubine wants to ask the emperor, what do you think of Min Changzai?" Lan Qi asked, her whole body was relieved, although her eyes showed timidity, she stared at Xuan Ye's eyes tightly, she thought she would see Xuan Ye's cramped expression, but the person in front of her only showed a strange appearance, and asked her, "Why did you suddenly mention that Min Chang was there?" ”

Lan Qi was slightly embarrassed, pursed her lips and said, "Does the emperor like her?" ”

Xuan Ye shook his head: "I just think that she is a person who can serve by her side with peace of mind, I used to be kind to her, but I didn't want anything to happen to her in Yikun Palace, you feel guilty because of this, and now you are just an ordinary person by your side." ”

Lan Qi asked, "Is the emperor telling the truth?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "Why is it not true, my affection for the imperial concubine has never been hidden from you, you can see it." As he spoke, he felt strange and couldn't help asking, "I thought you were jealous of things on the road, or you couldn't tolerate those young people, why did you only mention Min always there?" He even carefully recalled it, and said to Lan Qi ambiguously, "I only met her a few times, and I didn't do those things." ”

Lan Qi's cheeks were crimson, and she hurriedly said, "The concubine knows." ”

"You know?"

"Liu Guan's woman is pregnant, of course the concubine has to be investigated, but it's a pity that the child was not saved."

Xuan Ye didn't care about that kid at all, but somehow he became happy, and chased Lan Qi's gaze narrowly and asked, "Did you check someone else's?" ”

"By the way, I took a look." Lan Qi saw himself in Xuan Ye's eyes, if Xuan Ye's face was already soaked with traces of time, but his eyes were as hot and affectionate as they were more than ten years ago, his gaze on himself had never changed, and she still suffered from gains and losses, and she was no different from Xiao Chang back then.

Now that her daughter is in love with Shun Anyan, she is heartbroken; There is also Chen Changzai who fell in love with the emperor and almost contracted lovesickness. When they are in their teens, they should have such enthusiasm, what are they? Forty years old is in front of her, there is no growth in her bones, she still regards herself as a girl in her twenties, greedy for Xuan Ye's attention to herself, and domineering unwilling to take a little place in his heart for others.

But Xuan Ye understood Lan Qi's thoughts, his body and mind were relaxed, and he hugged her with a somewhat vigilant posture, but at this time, he turned around, and instead used Lan Qi's stomach as a pillow, lay down lazily and said: "You are frightened of me, thinking that there is something big, I must be calm in the future, what big things can happen to you, if there is really a big thing, you will become more and more frustrated, and you will only torture me with these inexplicable little things." ”

Lan Qi gently touched his cheek and said unconvinced: "The small things in the eyes of the emperor are the big things in the hearts of the concubines, without you, I have nothing." ”

Xuan Ye glanced at her sideways, turned his face and closed his eyes for a while, but said in his mouth: "How can I let you have nothing, everything will be taken care of for you, even if it is ...... in the future"

Xuan Ye wanted to say, "Even if I want to go before you in the future, I will take care of you in advance", but he didn't say it.

Seeing the year of the destiny of the sky, his awe of life and nostalgia for the world are getting deeper and deeper, not so much to be attached to the throne, but to say that there are people and things that are more worthy of his cherishment, I thought that he would spend his life as an "emperor", but now this is not the case.

I heard Lan Qi's voice like a mosquito and asked, "Why do you see everyone on the road?" ”
