In the Jinluan Palace, the hundred officials were silent, looking at each other, and no one dared to say a word to attract the emperor's attention. There is no other reason, this year's heavy rains, floods in the south of the Yangtze River, flooded farmland, destroyed crops, killed and injured countless people, displaced, and homeless. In this case, the imperial court must send people to provide disaster relief and reassure the people, although there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but everyone knows the danger that exists, and they do not know what unexpected things will be hidden in the future. Fearing that this would happen to them, they did not dare to speak.

The emperor sat on a high position, his face was tired, there was already a layer of impatience between his eyebrows, his sharp gaze wandered among the ministers, and there was a faint dissatisfaction in his voice, "What? Is there no one in this court? Aren't you all pretty talkative? Why did they get their mouths sewn up at this juncture! ”

As soon as the voice fell, Jing Rong suddenly came out of the ranks. Just when others were surprised, they only heard him say: "Weichen is willing to go to share the emperor's worries." ”

Baiguan looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to take this thankless errand on himself. Which tendon is wrong for this King Chen, and he took the initiative to ask for help, does he want to make meritorious service like this?

"King Chen is in charge of Gyeonggi Guard, how can he leave the imperial city at will?" Jing Han immediately spoke up, he would say so, but he was afraid that something would happen to Jing Rong and Mu Xuefu would become a widow.

Jing Rong smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards Emperor Xuanwu: "I have been grateful to the emperor for leading the Gyeonggi Guard all these years, but Weichen is incompetent, and he has never made any achievements, and he is very ashamed. As the so-called food of the king, bear the worries of the king, now the court is the time to employ people, although the minister has no virtue and no talent, but he is also willing to dedicate his modest efforts to repay the emperor's years of cultivation. ”

Some people have been waiting for others to jump out and take over this matter, and the bad luck of the province falls on their heads. It happened that King Chen took the initiative to ask for help, which was in line with his own mind, although he was a prince, but with the psychology of a friend who died and did not die in poverty, someone reconsidered, "King Chen is worthy of being the son and nephew raised by the emperor, young and promising, loyal and patriotic, and he is really a model for us to learn." Since King Chen wants to make contributions and solve problems for the emperor, the emperor should also fulfill King Chen's intention. ”

"It is rare for King Chen to have this heart, and the emperor should fulfill it."

"The emperor is no different from the princes of Chen, and even more loved, and the father is naturally very worried, but on the other hand, this matter may be a good thing for King Chen. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and the emperor should also let go and let King Chen go outside to experience the experience. ”

Under the advice of several people, Emperor Xuanwu finally agreed to Jingrong's request. It's just that time is in a hurry, and I have to leave Beijing on the second day.

After retiring from the dynasty, before he arrived outside the palace gate, Jing Han stopped Jing Rong, "I wonder if King Chen has discussed this decision with Princess Chen?" To be honest, this is not a good errand, it is a matter of course to do it well, if it is not done well, those people in the court alone can drown you with spit. Besides, this is not a small fight, it is difficult to help the people and provide disaster relief, so why do you need to carry this black cauldron. Besides, when you get there, I don't know what the problem is, in case, if something bad happens to you, everyone in King Chen's mansion will lose their support. ”

Jing Rong's slightly suspicious gaze roamed around Jing Han's face, and his smile was mixed with a coldness, "Thank you Fourth Brother for reminding me, it's just that I really want to do something practical for the court and the people." Besides, you have seen the situation in the court today, and no one took the initiative to ask for help. I did this to everyone's heart. After a pause, "It's just that I don't understand a little bit, why does the fourth brother seem to care so much about my princess?" ”

Jing Han was slightly stunned, and his eyes unconsciously dodged, "I don't care about Princess Chen, but because I lost the princess, I know more that husband and wife should cherish each other." Like my princess, if I had cared more about her, maybe she wouldn't have left so early. ”

This time it was Jing Rong's turn to be stunned, because of Jing Han's words, he didn't notice the dodging look in his eyes, but the shadow of Mu Xuefu appeared in his mind.

How many days had he not seen her? It's been more than a month. For more than a month, he went out early and returned late every day, trying to use official business to distract himself so that he would no longer worry about her.

In fact, he had been deflated during this time, but he had been waiting for Mu Xuefu to find him, but he had waited for many days, and she hadn't even asked someone to inquire about him. The longer he waited, the more angry he became, and he even asked himself, was he so unimportant in her heart?

Even, he took the initiative to ask for help today, but it was also mixed with a little impulse. He wanted to escape, to escape from the pain of this struggle. God knows, how many times, he wanted to put down his son and go to her. But every time he thought of her cheating on him and not caring about him, he couldn't move.

The heartache grew every day, even if he didn't want to face it. They are so close under the same roof, but their hearts are as far away as one at the end of the world and the other at the cape.

So he thought, maybe if he left and left the imperial city, the pain would be reduced, and the feelings would slowly fade.

After listening to Jing Han's words just now, he suddenly realized that he had been drilling the horns of the bull, why didn't he stand in her position and think about it for her. On the day of the eldest princess of Yong'an, she was really forced to do so, and she was understandable for self-preservation, but it was only because she didn't tell him the truth that she was angry with her. But think about it, because is it really worth affecting the relationship between the two of them?

Finally, she took a step towards herself. He could feel that Muchev and him had slowly changed, did he want everything to go back to the same place, or even the other way around?

Obviously, he was unwilling.

Muchev was the first woman he fell in love with, he really liked her, and he didn't want to lose her.

At the thought of losing her, Jing Rong's heart instantly stabbed, like a needle prick.

Like telepathy, Mu Xuefu's heart hurt inexplicably, she rubbed the position of her heart, and the pain disappeared in an instant.

She sighed, stood up and walked to the door, looked at the rain that had not stopped, and said, "Today is the sixth day of the sixth month of June, right?" ”

Qing Zhuo stood aside, glanced at her, and then followed her gaze to look outside, only to see a rose in the corner of the wall. The rose flower is very petite, but it is even more enchanting, although it is beaten by the wind and rain, it still has a straight body.

"Yes, today is"

"It's my brother's birthday." Mu Xuefu smiled on her lips, and even the corners of her eyes were crooked, "For as long as I can remember, every year on my brother's birthday, my mother will cook a lot of delicious food for us." My brother likes to eat fish, so my mother made it for him with tricks, sweet and sour fish, squirrel fish, braised cod, steamed carp, so many, a big table. As he spoke, a smile slowly froze on his face, and there was a slight tremor in his voice, "Since that year, I have never been able to eat such delicious fish and meat." ”

Qing Zhuo sighed deeply, "Master, today is"

"I want to go home today, and I should go home for my brother's birthday." Mu Xuefu fell into her own memories, where was she still interested in listening to Qing Zhuo's words, and directly interrupted her, "I'll go to change clothes, you let people prepare the carriage, and then tell Zhou Cheng that I have something to go out today, and he doesn't need to arrange someone to follow." ”

Mu Xuefu hurried away, only giving her a few brief instructions. Qing Zhuo shook his head helplessly, the master only remembered his brother's birthday, but he didn't remember that there was a more important person who was also born today. However, just now she was interrupted by the master whenever she was about to speak, does this mean that the master originally remembered, but he deliberately interrupted her and avoided it?

For a while, she didn't have a good idea, so she had to do what her master told her.

When Jingrong returned, he was told that the princess had gone out. Although there was a little loss, she didn't care, she just thought that she went out for a walk because of her long-term neglect. Thinking about it like this, Jing Rong felt a little guilty, as a husband, not only could he not feel sorry for her, but he was angry with her and snubbed her, he was really not a good husband. When she comes back, I will definitely coax her well, and I will love her more in the future.

After waiting for an afternoon, until dusk, Mu Xuefu still did not return, Jing Rong looked at the table of meals he asked him to prepare in advance, and his heart cooled a little like these meals.

"Lord Wang," Zhou Cheng was not anxious, and after getting the news, he hurriedly ran back, tired and out of breath.

Jing Rong was overjoyed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up and greeted him, "Where's the princess?" When she arrives at the door, the king will go to meet her. ”

Zhou Cheng hurriedly grabbed him, "Lord, the princess didn't come back, the person who came to talk just now said that the princess lived in the new house today and won't come back tonight." ”

Like a basin of cold water being splashed from head to toe, the chill pierced into the heart from the limbs and bones. Jing Rong waved Zhou Cheng's hand away and sneered, "Not coming back?" Does she know what day it is? Does she know that tomorrow this king will leave the imperial city and go to Jiangnan? ”

"No one told the princess, so the princess didn't know. Don't be angry, the slave will send someone to bring the princess back. Zhou Cheng saw that he was angry, and secretly blamed himself for his mistake and forgot to tell the princess.

"If you don't come back, don't come back!" The anger in Jing Rong's heart burst out like a volcano, he raised his hand and overturned the dining table, the food spilled on the ground, and fell apart, "It's not that she doesn't know, it's that she doesn't care about this king at all." ”

"Lord, you are angry, how can the princess not be interested in you? Don't think about it, and don't be angry with the princess. It's all the minions' fault, if you want to blame the minions, blame the minions. ”

Glancing at Zhou Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground and admitting his mistake, Jing Rong took a deep breath, he waved his hand, "It's not your fault, you go down." ”

Jing Rong was the only one left in the empty room, he took out a sachet from his arms and muttered to himself, "Fu'er, do you really not care about me at all?" I don't even care about my birthday. ”
