Qin Chongzhou suddenly remembered the scratches on Zhao Chengxi's hands a few days ago, and his fingers tightened suddenly.

"Your Majesty, the micro-ministers are useless, and they really dare not receive such a valuable reward from Your Majesty."

"This is not a reward. Isn't it your birthday? This is a birthday gift. ”

Birthday gifts? Qin Chongzhou was stunned, and calculated the day in his mind, indeed, today is his birthday. It's just that it's been many years since he was born, and almost all of his days are spent in the barracks, and it's useless to remember things like birthdays, and he doesn't have the heart to celebrate. Such a sudden birthday gift caught Qin Chongzhou off guard, and his mood was indescribable for a while.

Your Majesty has taken such great care to prepare a congratulatory gift for me, but my purpose today is ......

Seeing this, Zhao Chengxi thought that Qin Chongzhou was happy: "By the way, why did you say you entered the palace?" ”

"Wechen ......"

Qin Chongzhou slowly closed the box, offered it with both hands, and his tone was deep and detached, like a glacier that has not melted for thousands of years at the bottom of the sea.

"Such a generous gift, Weichen really dare not accept it. If His Majesty wants to congratulate Weichen on his birthday, Weichen dares to ask His Majesty to marry Weichen and Ye Wanwan. ”

The smile on Zhao Chengxi's face gradually solidified and shattered, and for a moment he even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Qin Chongzhou, you ...... Say it again to me. ”

Zhao Chengxi's face was pale, and his fingers pointing at Qin Chongzhou trembled slightly, and he said unwillingly.

"Wechen begs His Majesty to grant marriage."

As soon as Qin Chongzhou's words fell, a clang sounded.

Zhao Chengxi brushed off the teacup.

Xiao Lianzi and the others who were guarding outside the door were shocked when they heard it.

"Qin Chongzhou ......"

"Wechen is here."

"You lied to me......"

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"You said that unless I make a decree, you will not be married in this life, and you will not please others."

"Wechen...... I don't remember. ”

Qin Chongzhou didn't have this memory in his mind, but the throbbing pain in his chest seemed to remind him of something.

"Don't you count if you don't remember?"

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Where's your jade pendant?" Zhao Chengxi's eyes were full of mist and looked at Qin Chongzhou's empty waist.

"Back to Your Majesty, if the jade pendant is broken, I won't bring it anymore."

"If it's broken, you won't bring it anymore?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Huh...... It turns out that if it's broken, you can't bring it...... Yes, if it's broken, you can't bring it......" Zhao Chengxi laughed dryly, and only infinite sadness was heard in the laughter.

Zhao Chengxi looked at Qin Chongzhou in court clothes, this person was originally a person he was familiar with, he used to smile gently at himself, he used to be very good to himself, but now he was standing there, close in front of him, but it was so strange that it seemed to be far away in the sky.

Zhao Chengxi felt as if she had been pricked in her chest with a lot of wounds, and a cool breeze poured into her cold, making her feel cold all over her body.

Zhao Chengxi closed his eyes and tried his best to maintain the last trace of imperial self-control in front of this strange Qin Chongzhou.

He is not the Qin Chongzhou you are familiar with, and the person in front of him now is just a loyal courtier.

What reason should a faithful and meritorious courtier ask for a marriage?

Zhao Chengxi opened his eyes again.

"I ...... I know, if you want it, I will give it to you, and tomorrow, the holy decree will be sent to the waiting house, you go down. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Chongzhou put the box on the table and left.

From beginning to end, Qin Chongzhou bowed his head humbly and respectfully, and never looked up at Zhao Chengxi.

Zhao Chengxi tilted his head slightly, the sunlight left irregular shadows on Zhao Chengxi's face through the window lattice, and Zhao Chengxi's expression could not be seen, but the depressed atmosphere shrouded in the hall never dissipated.

Another day.

"You said Ye Wanwan wants to see me?"

Meng Yingran said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. This is the letter that Song Gongzi asked Weichen to hand over. ”

Meng Yingran said that Ye Wanwan and Song Lingxiu proposed to see Zhao Chengxi, and Song Lingxiu said that Ye Wanwan didn't want Qin Chongzhou to know about it, so Song Lingxiu asked Meng Yingran to pass the word.

Ye Wanwan didn't know my true identity, why did she want to see me? She and Qin Chongzhou had already come to the point of asking for marriage, why did she still ask to see a man who was not very familiar?

"Your Majesty would like to see you?"

Zhao Chengxi turned the dark blue wrench on his thumb, and made a decision in his heart.

See. Not only do you want to see it, but you also have to hide it from Qin Chongzhou.

Zhao Chengxi knew that every time he left the palace, he would be protected by Qin Chongzhou's secret guards. In order to avoid Qin Chongzhou's eyes and ears, Zhao Chengxi went out of the palace this time, and Chang Yi and Xiao Lianzi, the two of his own living signs, naturally had to stay in the palace, and Niu Lian'er, who was babbling loudly, couldn't bring it, Qin Chongzhou's old subordinate Qin Yan still forgot it. After thinking about it, Zhao Chengxi decided to take Ah Jing and two guards.

Zhao Chengxi was mixed in the ranks of the palace people who went out of the palace to procure, and he left the palace without knowing it, changed his clothes at the inn, and then went to the address written in Ye Wanwan's letter.

It's a small house in a quiet environment. Ye Wanwan had already arrived first.

"Miss Ye, where is this place?"

"Bi Gongzi, this is the house that Wanwan's father bought before his death, and he lived in it before Wanwan." Ye Wanwan greeted Zhao Chengxi into the door.

"Ah Jing, you are guarding here."

After Zhao Chengxi gave the order, he and Ye Wanwan entered the house.

Ye Wanwan was dressed plainly, her face was a little pale, and she didn't know if it was because of the extra fat powder, but it didn't look like a happy event was coming.

"Childe, please take a seat, I have already prepared drinks and side dishes for the evening."

Zhao Chengxi sat down as he said, bitter in his heart, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Miss Ye is going to meet?" As far as I know, His Majesty has already married the Hou Ye and the girl, and he should be waiting to be the bride in the mansion. Speaking of which, I haven't said congratulations yet. ”

The loss in Zhao Chengxi's eyes was captured by Ye Wanwan, and he naturally attributed this loss to himself.

Ye Wanwan's face was full of worry, and she didn't answer and asked: "Bi Gongzi looks a little haggard, I don't know why I'm upset?" ”

Zhao Chengxi was stunned, drank a glass of wine to relieve the bitterness in his heart, and said perfunctorily: "It's just that there are some troubles at home." ”

"Family matters?" Ye Wanwan's eyes flashed, "Could it be because of the lady of the son's family?" ”

Zhao Chengxi didn't expect Ye Wanwan to be so good at association, but her casual joke was remembered by her for so long, and she didn't bother to explain, nodding and admitting: "Yes, yes." ”

"That night, he and Gongzi can be said to be the end of the world."

"What do you mean by that?"

Before Ye Wanwan could speak, she looked like she wanted to cry, and I saw a pitiful appearance.

Zhao Chengxi was a little unbearable when he saw it, and said with relief: "Why did the girl cry in the evening?" ”

Ye Wanwan hid her face and sobbed: "Master Bi, in fact, Wanwan is happy with you......"

Zhao Chengxi is unbelievable, this Ye Wanwan likes me? No way.

However, since this is the case, wouldn't Qin Chongzhou be able to marry Ye Wanwan? Thinking of this, Zhao Chengxi couldn't hide his joy.
