Bamboo cottage.

A girl writes and draws on rice paper with a pen, and soon, the word "female partner" is presented on the paper.

Seeing the girl put down her pen, the man playing the flute and the woman playing the piano stopped their movements and looked at the girl.

The man asked, "Cen meets the point, is there something going on?" ”

Cen Yudian pointed to the word female supporting actress on the paper, and said to them with a smile: "If the story of those two people is perfect, then we will have two more partners, otherwise, they will be scattered." ”

The four words of the soul flew away made the woman a little discolored, and she asked: "Cen Yudian, then what can we do?" ”

The girl looked down at the jade pendant in her hand, and responded unhurriedly: "Watch the play." ”

After a long while, the man and woman looked at each other and smiled, "Then let's be a theatergoer." ”

The girl looked out the window: "Outsiders look at people in the play." ”

**

Shengdu Chu's family, with a woman without a perch, with beautiful eyebrows, is well-read, and is the first talented woman in Shengdu City.

Shengdu Shen, with Zijin Crane, humble and courteous, with great military achievements, is the first general of Shengdu City.

The two surnames married, concluded a good relationship, stayed together during the day, and spent a good moon.

The covenant of the white head, keep it in mind, walk hand in hand, and live up to this life.

**

Shen Mansion.

The girl lying on the bed was very pale, and her soaked hair was already half-dry.

The doctor was examining the girl, sometimes shaking her head and sometimes nodding.

Standing on the side was the girl's sister, Chu Wuqi, and Chu Wuqi's fiancé, Gubei Hou Shizi, Shen Jinhe.

Shen Jinhe gently hugged Chu Wuqi's shoulders and comforted softly: "Xiao Qi, don't worry, Xiao Wanzi will be fine." ”

Chu Wuqi's eyes were red, she just stared at the girl on the bed tightly, and after the doctor checked it, she asked, "Doctor, how is my sister?" ”

The doctor stroked his beard, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head: "Miss Chu, General Shen, Second Miss Chu shouldn't have much of a problem, as long as you wake up and rest more, you can recover quickly, but ......"

"But what?" Chu Wuqi looked nervous.

"Miss Chu, Miss Chu should have been greatly stimulated," the doctor hesitated, but finally said, "After waking up, it should be different from before." ”

It's different, Chu Wuqi silently recited these words, his face became more and more pale and weak, "Doctor, do you mean that the sister's dementia will be more serious?" ”

The doctor did not give a very precise statement, "I don't know, maybe it will cure dementia for many years, and everything will have to wait until you wake up to know." ”

"Doctor, I'm sorry for you." Shen Jinhe spoke.

The doctor waved his hand, "Don't bother, this is the doctor's duty." ”

Shen Jinhe looked at the little guy beside him, "Yun Chang, take the doctor out." ”

Yun Chang nodded: "Okay, Shizi." ”

As soon as the two left, Shen Jinhe walked to Chu Wuqi's side and comforted softly again: "Xiao Qi, don't worry, Xiao Wanzi will be fine." ”

Chu Wuqi raised his head with red eyes, "Ah He, I'm so scared." ”

Xiao Maruko likes sugar gourds the most and is most afraid of water.

However, she let Xiao Maruko fall into the water, if it weren't for the eldest brother, she would never see Xiao Maruko.

"Don't be afraid, it's not your fault," Shen Jinhe took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, Xiao Maruko doesn't want to see you cry." ”

Chu Wuqi bit his lip: "Ah He, my heart really hurts." ”

Shen Jinhe couldn't restrain it anymore, and hugged her directly, suppressing his crying, "Xiao Qi, I also hurt." ”

Chu Wuqi shed silent tears, her two hands grabbed the clothes on Shen Jinhe's chest, she didn't want to see him so sad, she could only try to restrain the sadness in her heart, and after a while, she spoke, "Ah He, I'm fine." ”

"Hmm." Knowing what she was thinking, he let go and smiled at her.

"Ah He," Chu Wuqi said as he looked down at Chu Wuqi, whose face was no longer so pale, "It's been a while since you came back, and you haven't seen your mother yet." ”

"You get busy first, I'll stay and take care of Maruko."

"I won't go, my mother won't mind," Shen Jinhe shook his head, "I'm going to take care of Maruko with you." ”

She is like this, how can he go to see his mother with peace of mind.

Chu Wuqi couldn't say anything more when he saw him like this, so he could only nod: "Okay." ”

The girl in bed at this moment is in big / trouble.

She could hear her sister and brother-in-law, but she just couldn't wake up.

At that moment, a voice reached her ears.

"Chu Wuji, your lifeline has come to an end, it's time to leave."

She didn't understand, but she knew the word leaving, and she shook her head vigorously: "Don't leave, Maruko." ”

The voice rang out again, "It's all fate." ”

At this moment, when she wanted to speak again, she couldn't say anything.

After waiting for several hours without waiting for Xiao Maruki to wake up, and Mrs. Gubei Hou had already sent someone to ask several times, Chu Wuqi raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "Shizi, it's time for you to meet your mother." ”

Shen Shizi frowned: "Xiao Qi, I want to accompany you." ”

Chu Wuqi was just about to say something, when she heard a familiar voice, "Who are you?" ”

There is no ignorance in the eyes of the little pill who woke up, there is only full of resistance.

Chu Wuqi reached out to hold Chu Wuqi's hand, and responded in a very gentle voice, "Xiao Maruko, I am your sister, Chu Wuqi." ”

Shen Jinhe, who was on the side, also said: "Xiao Maruko, I am your sister's fiancé and your eldest brother." ”

The words of the two made the girl on the bed stunned, and soon an extremely strange memory poured into the girl's mind, and the girl had a certain conjecture in her heart.

She should have worn to an ancient novel she read not long ago, and became the heroine of the novel, Chu Wuji.

The woman in front of her is the vicious female partner who targets her everywhere, her sister, and the man on the side should be her ex-fiancé, the woman's current fiancé.

Thinking of this, she pushed away the person in front of her forcefully, and said with a cold face: "Don't touch me." ”

Chu Wuqi couldn't help but shake it, she didn't believe that her little pill would talk to her like this, she stubbornly grabbed her wrist, "Little pill, I'm your little seventh sister, do you blame my sister for not taking a good look at you and letting you fall into the water?" ”

"Sister really didn't mean to."

"Maruko, don't blame your sister, okay?"

Tears fell onto Chu Wujiao's hands, Chu Wujiao was distressed at all, but felt very annoying, she broke free directly, "Chu Wuqi, there are no outsiders here, don't pretend anymore, I won't eat you." ”

"Chu Wujiao, this is the Shen Mansion," Shen Jinhe held Chu Wuqi, who was pushed away by her, and said angrily, "If you want to go crazy, please change places." ”

"You accidentally fell into the water, your sister is right." The current Shen Jinhe is no longer the big brother who dotes on Xiao Maruko on weekdays, but Chu Wuqi's fiancé, General Shen.

Chu Wuji smiled in a low voice: "General Shen, there is a word called "like gathers like, I think you and my sister are very compatible." ”

It is very similar to these three words, Chu Wuji bites very hard.

After speaking, without looking at the reactions of the two, he turned around and left.

As soon as he walked out of the Shen Mansion, Chu Wuji saw a person standing on the roof not far away.

The man was dressed in black, with a sachet pinned to his waist, and he held a sword on his chest and looked into the distance.

Chu Wuji closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and a character in the book flashed in his mind.

Dongfang Jing, King Jing of Shengdu, the person who almost never leaves his sword and likes to wear black clothes, and Chu Wuji likes it for many years.

At that moment, the man on the roof turned his head.

The two looked at each other.

One on top and one on the bottom.

**

Shen Jinhe ignored Chu Wuji's departure, secretly there has always been someone to protect Chu Wuji, he didn't need to worry, he just hugged his beloved girl tightly, "Xiao Qi, don't cry." ”

Chu Wuqi shook his head with red eyes: "I don't cry, Xiao Wanzi is just angry with me temporarily, and he will be angry after a while." ”

Shen Jinhe raised his hand and patted her on the back gently, staring at her eyebrows and asking, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Maruki is very strange, you think about it, did something happen before Xiao Maruko fell into the water." ”

"Well, I'll think about it." Chu Wuqi took his hand and sat on the edge of the bed.

**

A few hours ago.

Chu Mansion.

A woman over thirty years old, with a slightly rich appearance and kind eyebrows, gently said to the girl in front of her: "Xiao Qi, remember to get along with Ah He later." ”

"A-Niang, Xiao Qi knows." Chu Wuqi's face was a little red.

Mrs. Chu joked: "It turns out that our little seven are shy." ”

Chu Wuqi accepted the ridicule of his mother-in-law, and responded without changing his face: "Auntie, Shen Jinhe is the husband that you and Daddy found for Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi will not be shy." ”

"Okay, our Xiao Qi is not shy," Mrs. Chu gave Chu Wuqi the position of the hairpin, "Go, go early and return early." ”

"Otherwise, Maruko will have to cry again."

"Hmm."

At this moment, a little girl wearing a light cyan dress and a cute hairstyle ran over and threw herself into Chu Wuqi's arms, "Sister, I'm going too." ”

"It's all sweat," Chu Wuqi took out a handkerchief to wipe the little girl's face, and asked with a smile, "Why are you running so fast?" ”

The little girl looked up and pouted, "Sister, Maruko also wants to go out to play." ”

Mrs. Chu pulled the little girl over, "No mustard, A-Niang will take you to see Huahua." ”

The second miss of the Chu family, who has just arrived at the school, is still no different from a six-year-old child.

At the beginning, it was the second miss of the Chu family who married the eldest son of the Shen family, Chu Wuji, but later became married to the eldest lady of the Chu family for various reasons.

The first talented woman in Shengdu and the first general in Shengdu got married, and most people called it a good match.

"A-Niang, don't," Chu Wujiao stomped his feet, very aggrieved, "I'm going to go with my sister." ”

Chu Wujiao snickered, every time she goes out with her sister, she can eat sugar gourds, this time my sister will definitely go to see the eldest brother, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will buy her a lot of delicious food.

If there is something delicious, of course you have to go with it.

Mrs. Chu was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Qi, do you see this?" ”

Chu Wuqi held Chu Wuji's hand, "Ah Niang, it's okay, Ah He also likes Xiao Maruko very much, later, Brother Prince is also here, you can let Brother Prince play with Xiao Maruko." ”

"Xiao Qi, the prince ......" Hearing that the prince will also go, Mrs. Chu has an even more headache, although she can't mix with the court, but she also knows that now all forces are staring at the prince, the Chu family is a scholarly family, not a family of military generals, but it can't be completely out of the way, and now it's too close to the prince, is it a little inappropriate.

Chu Wuqi shook his head: "Ah Niang, it's really fine, Ah He knows it in his heart." ”

Since he said he would come with the prince, there would be no problem.

There are some things that you can't just avoid if you want to.

"I like Brother Prince." Chu Wujiao reached out and grabbed Chu Wuqi's sleeve, shaking his head.

Chu Wuqi smiled: "Do you like Brother Prince, or do you like the sugar gourd in Brother Prince's hand?" ”

Chu Wujiao puffed out his cheeks, but nodded cutely: "I like them all." ”

The prince's brother will buy her sugar gourds and carry her.

The big brother won't carry her.

Therefore, the prince's brother is even better than the eldest brother.

If Shen Jinhe knew that Xiao Maruki, whom he had loved for so many years, thought like this in his heart, he would have gently poked Xiao Maruki's forehead with his hand, and his tone was helpless mixed with a hint of doting: "You little conscienceless, the big brother has carried you so many times, and you only remember the sugar gourd that the big brother bought for you, and the prince's brother only carried you three times, but he can make you so obsessed." ”

In Shen Jinhe's view, the eldest sister is like a mother, and he is Chu Wuqi's future husband, which is equivalent to half of Chu Wuqi's father, and caring for Chu Wuqi is what he should do.

After so many years of this big brother, he has long regarded this sister who is six years younger than him as a family.

"Do you really like them all?" Chu Wuqi bent down and gently pinched her fleshy face.

Chu Wuji nodded: "Sister, Xiao Wanzi likes it." ”

"In the future, I will be the crown princess."

Chu Wuqi: "......"

Mrs. Chu: "......"

To be a crown princess?

When did it happen?

"Xiao Maruko, tell A-Niang," Mrs. Chu was a little anxious, "Is this what the prince's brother told you, or did you say it yourself?" ”

Xiao Maruki blinked, and didn't understand why A-Niang asked, "A-Niang, the eldest brother said that only when you are the crown princess can you be with the prince's brother forever." ”

Mrs. Chu was stunned: "......"

What did General Shen say? Why?

Also incomprehensible is Chu Wuqi.

A few years ago, the queen mother had already decided on the candidate for the crown princess, and the prince did not raise any objections to this, and even asked the queen mother to select a few side concubines.

For the most part, people are not monogamous.

Especially the women who enter the palace must be mentally prepared to share their husbands with other women.

Chu Wuqi has never had the luxury of being monogamous, but Shen Jinhe said that he can be monogamous.

In Chu Wuqi's view, this is not a good thing.

She doesn't have to manage her husband's backyard, and the extra time allows her to do what she wants.

However, now, Shen Jinhe actually instigated Xiao Maruko to become the crown princess.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

"Ah Niang," Seeing that Mrs. Chu's face was slightly pale, Chu Wuqi hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, I'll ask General Shen for clarification." ”

"Xiao Qi, you must ask clearly." The little girl is like this now, Mrs. Chu is not at all at ease to let others take care of her, especially now that the person is still the prince, she just wants the little girl to stay by her side all the time, and no gossip can make her give up.

"A-Niang, Xiao Qi knows." Chu Wuqi nodded.

Chu Wujiu couldn't understand the conversation between the two, but she could feel that the two were in a bad mood, she reached out and pulled Chu Wuqi's sleeve, "Sister, did Maruko say something wrong?" ”

"Xiao Maruko," Chu Wuqi didn't directly answer whether it was right or wrong, but gently instructed her, "I can only say those words to my sister and A-Niang just now, not to say a word to others." ”

Chu Wuji frowned: "Sister, isn't the eldest brother okay?" ”

Chu Wuqi nodded solemnly: "Big brother can't either." ”

"Hmm." Chu Wuji rolled his eyes, "Xiao Maruko listens to my sister." ”

Mrs. Chu let Chu Wujiao play by herself, while she took her eldest daughter's hand and said bitterly: "Xiao Qi, our Chu family is already in a very awkward position, A-Niang just wants you to be okay, it doesn't matter if you are tired or tired." ”

"In the past hundred years, the Chu family has always been a scholarly family, Xiao Qi, you and your brother must be careful and careful, don't ......"

She didn't continue to say the following words, she felt that her little seven could guess.

The human heart is the most difficult to see, and the emperor's heart is the most so.

Maybe one day, the emperor can't even tolerate the scholarly family.

Chu Wuqi understood.

The eldest brother who was born in a scholarly family wanted to be a general on the battlefield, but because he was born in the Chu family, he could only think about it.

In the eyes of outsiders, the marriage contract between her and General Shen is a perfect match, but everyone in officialdom knows that it is just one of the methods used by the emperor to contain the Shen family.

The Chu family will not have the heart of rebellion, otherwise it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world.

The Shen family will not have the heart of rebellion, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the common people and countless soldiers guarding the border.

Under Mrs. Chu's extremely worried gaze, Chu Wuqi nodded and said very seriously: "A-Niang, don't worry, Xiao Qi knows it." ”

"Xiao Qi is good," Mrs. Chu raised her hand to straighten her hair bun, "There is A-Niang, others want to bully the children of the Chu family." ”

Chu Wuqi smiled and quipped: "Auntie, isn't Xiaoqi not a child of the Chu family after getting married?" ”

Mrs. Chu flicked directly on her forehead, "Nonsense, A-Niang doesn't care if you marry someone or not, marry a wife or not, anyway, you are all A-Niang's children, the children of the Chu family." ”

"Auntie, is Maruko too?" Chu Wuji, who was squatting on the ground and playing with stones, raised his head.

"Maruko too." Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded.

Chu Wuji danced happily: "Xiao Maruki is A-Niang's child." ”

Chu Wuqi was afraid that Chu Wuqi would fall, so he hurriedly took her hand, "Little Maruko, my sister will take you to find the eldest brother, okay?" ”

The three words of big brother directly made Chu Wuji's eyes light up, "Sister, let's go quickly." ”

Sugar gourd, I'm coming.

Every time I see my big brother, there will be a sugar gourd, and this time is no exception.

"A-Niang," Chu Wuqi rubbed the head of Xiao Maruki, who was about to overflow with joy, and looked up at Mrs. Chu, who was looking at Xiao Maruko playfully, "Then Xiao Qi will take Xiao Maruko out." ”

"Go ahead." Mrs. Chu waved her hand.

At this moment, a mellow voice came from afar, "Xiao Qi, where are you going to take your little sister?" ”

It was a very young man, he was dressed in white, with a jade pendant pinned to his waist, his body was slender, and the corners of his lips were a gentle smile.

"Big brother," Chu Wuqi bowed slightly, "General Shen sent someone to say that he wanted to meet Xiao Qi." ”

The man pondered: "Big brother will take you to see General Shen. ”

Chu Wuqi thought that the eldest brother wanted to beg General Shen to let him go to the battlefield again, and suddenly felt a little worried, especially when his mother was still beside him, "Big brother, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted: "Xiao Qi, although you and General Shen have a marriage contract, it is still inappropriate to meet privately, big brother will take you there, and others will definitely not say anything about it." ”

"Okay." Chu Wuqi nodded.

If it is really as she thinks, then she will definitely think of a way to get the best of both worlds with Ah He, which can not only make the eldest brother not regret, but also not make Ah Niang sad.

Mrs. Chu still hadn't recovered from the incident just now, she instructed a little absent-mindedly, "Son, you have to take care of Xiao Qi and Xiao Maruko, go early and return early, and don't stay outside." ”

"A-Niang, don't worry." Chu Gongzi nodded.

As soon as Mrs. Chu left, Chu Wuji pulled his eldest brother's arm and walked out: "Brother, let's go quickly." ”

"Little sister, don't worry, General Shen shouldn't have gone out yet." Chu Gongzi gently held Chu Wuji's wrist and explained softly.

"Big brother, Xiao Maruki is not in a hurry to see Ah He," Chu Wuqi joked with a smile, "What she is anxious about is the sugar gourd in Ah He's hand." ”

"Little sister, if you want to eat sugar gourd, my brother will buy it for you." Chu Gongzi was a little helpless.

He knows that his little sister likes sweetness and loves sugar gourds, but he always has an uneasy premonition that someone will use a sugar gourd to kidnap his little sister in the future.

"Big brother, how many sugar gourds are you going to buy for Xiao Wanzi?" Chu Wuji's left palm is facing up, and his right hand is placed in the palm of his left hand.

Seeing her like this, Chu Gongzi immediately understood her intentions, he raised his hand and nodded her forehead, "It seems that my own brother is not as good as your brother Shen." ”

Chu Wuji smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Big brother, if you buy sugar gourd for Xiao Maruki, then Xiao Maruko likes Big Brother." ”

Chu Gongzi couldn't cry or laugh: "If you don't buy it, you don't like it?" ”

Chu Wuji's two hands were folded together: "It's not that I don't like it." ”

"If you buy it, you will like it more."

Chu Gongzi: "......"

Chu Wuqi: "......"

Shen Jinhe: "......"

"Xiao Qi, did Ah He tell you when the marriage date of the two of you is set?" When he was about to arrive at the No-Return Restaurant, Chu Gongzi looked at the girl who was holding a book next to him and was fascinated, and asked.

Originally, the marriage date of the two was agreed upon by the two families, but for some reason, Shen Jinhe said that he didn't need them to interfere, and he knew it.

The sooner this marriage is done, the better.

It's late, maybe something will really go wrong.

"Big brother, I want to marry Ah He when midsummer comes." Chu Wuqi put down the book and looked at his eldest brother with a smile on his eyebrows.

Midsummer?

Chu Gongzi thought for a while, if the wedding date was really set at that time, it would be almost three months away, and it should be in time.

The eldest lady of the Chu family married, and the eldest son of the Shen family married a wife.

Three books and six ceremonies, ten miles of red makeup.

There must be.

"What did Ah He say?"

"Big brother, I haven't told him yet."

"Well, remember to talk about it later."

"Hmm."

"Sister, are you going to be the bride of your big brother?" Chu Wuji held his face and winked at Chu Wuqi.

"Yes." Chu Wuqi stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Wuqi up and let him sit beside him, "Little Maruko, then you can't call your big brother in the future, you have to call your brother-in-law." ”

"What's my brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law is not a thing."

“……”

Regarding his little sister who asks some questions that make people cry and laugh from time to time, Chu Gongzi has been able to deal with them calmly, "Little sister, you can get more sugar gourds by replacing your big brother with your brother-in-law." ”

"Hmm." The little girl with her head full of sugar gourds nodded very obediently.

Chu Wuqi: "......"

Yes, maybe, in the future, Xiaowanzi will be abducted by a sugar gourd.

The carriage stopped, Chu Gongzi had just walked down, and the prince, who was waiting at the back door of the restaurant early, Dongfang Xian walked up, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, but his eyes were looking at the carriage, "Brother Gu Ying, I miss it for a long time." ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chu Gongzi saluted him.

For some reason, today, he felt that the prince's smile was particularly eye-catching.

Dongfang Xian is wearing his favorite blue clothes today, and he still has a jade pendant representing the identity of the prince pinned to his waist, in addition, there is also a crude handmade sachet.

Seeing him dressed up like this today, Chu Gongzi was thinking that the person he missed must not be him, but someone else.

"Big brother." Chu Wuqi in the carriage didn't wait for his eldest brother's next step, thinking that he had something important to tell the prince, but as soon as he heard the prince's voice, Xiao Maruko was a little excited, and she was anxious to get out of the car, so she could only make a sound.

Chu Guying looked behind Dongfang Xian and didn't see anyone, so he asked, "Prince, why don't you see General Shen?" ”

Dongfang Xian smiled: "General Shen has gone to buy sugar gourds for his two younger sisters, and he will come later." ”

Before Chu Guying could say anything, Chu Wujiao, whose mind was full of sugar gourds, had already lifted the curtain of the carriage, and half of his body leaned out, "Xiao Wanzi wants sugar gourds." ”

Seeing the girl with her cute hair in a bun showing such a cute look, the prince, who had always been calm, had an uncontrollable heartbeat at this time, and he stretched out his hand to the girl: "Little Maruko, the prince's brother will take you to get the sugar gourd." ”

Maruko immediately dodged away, "I don't like you." ”

Dongfang Xian: "......"

Chu Guying's eyes fell on the two of them, his hands clenched slightly unconsciously, and he bent over with his fists to ease his emotions, "Prince, my sister's mind is like that of a four-year-old child, I hope the prince will forgive me for what is wrong." ”

"Brother Gu Ying, you are out of sight," Dongfang Xian waved his hand, "You and I have been colleagues for many years, and your sister is my sister." ”

"Maybe it's because this king didn't buy sugar gourds for my sister recently, and my sister is angry with me."

"The prince is joking." After getting down from the carriage with Chu Wuji, Chu Wuqi saluted Dongfang Xian, and then stood up straight, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Sister Shemei doesn't understand the world, but she is not the kind of person who will be angry because others didn't buy her sugar gourds." ”

Dongfang Xian smiled and didn't speak.

Chu Wujiao hid behind Chu Wuqi, and he didn't speak, just stared at Dongfang Xian.

"Prince," Chu Guying didn't want Dongfang Xian to have too much contact with his little sister at all, he stretched out his hand and signaled, "Why don't you go in first, and the three of us will wait for General Shen for a while." ”

Dongfang Xian could feel Chu Guying's alienation from him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Hmm." ”

As soon as he turned around, a high-spirited figure swept down from the roof opposite, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

The figure stopped beside Chu Wuqi, "Wechen has seen the prince. ”

looked at the man in front of him on the right again, "Brother Gu Ying, it's good to see you." ”

Finally, his eyes fell on the girl with a smile in his eyes beside him, and tilted his head and smiled at her, "Xiao Qi, I miss you." ”

"Xiao Qi has seen General Shen." Even if she has made a marriage contract with the person in front of her, as long as there is a third person, Chu Wuqi will salute Shen Jinhe, which is a unique respect she has for him.

Shen Jinhe is the son of the Shen family, the prince of Gubei Hou, the son of Yunhe who is both civil and military, and the general who guards the border.

He has many identities, but General Snow Sweep is his favorite, she likes him, and naturally likes him.

Xiao Qi had seen General Shen, and this was a way for her to like him.

When he was a young man, he lived up to his life and knew it.

Shen Jinhe did it.

Her General Shen did it.

"General Shen has seen Chu Shanchang." Shen Jinhe clasped his fists and saluted.

Seeing Chu Wuqi's heavy look, Shen Jinhe didn't care about the people next to him, and directly reached out and pinched her face, "Chu Xiaoqi, come back to your senses." ”

I have all the etiquette I should have, so I can talk well.

The girl he likes is in front of him, he doesn't want to get along so unfamiliar because of those rules, he just wants to be close to his little girl.

Seeing Shen Jinhe's aggrieved look, Chu Wuqi couldn't help but smile: "Ah He, I was just thinking about one thing just now. "I didn't mean to ignore you.

"What's the matter?" After the words fell, he noticed that there was still someone next to him, and he frowned: "Prince, Brother Gu Ying, you go in first, Xiao Qi and I will go to you later." ”

"Don't worry," the marriage between the two, except for Chu Wuqi, Chu Guying is the one who recognizes it the most, seeing that he loves Xiao Qi so much, he is naturally happy, "Ah He, I have something I want to tell the prince." ”

"Hmm."

As soon as the three of them left, Shen Jinhe took Chu Wuqi's hand and came to the small pavilion near the restaurant.

Squeezing her palm, he asked, "Xiao Qi, do you have something to tell me?" ”

On weekdays, Shen Jinhe stays in the training ground outside the city, in order to facilitate the training of soldiers, he is how simple he comes, but at this time, he is wearing a wide robe, and there is a little less majesty and more gentleness between his eyebrows.

It seems that he is not the snow-sweeping general who is decisive in dealing with the enemy, but the arrogant Yunhe Gongzi.

didn't get a response, Shen Jinhe was a little curious, "Xiao Qi, what are you thinking, thinking so fascinated?" ”

Before, she had endless words with him.

In front of others, she is the dignified and generous Miss Chu, but in front of him, she is just Xiao Qi, his Xiao Qi.

"I'm thinking," Chu Wuqi looked up at the phoenix tree not far away, and a gentle and firm voice came into the man's ears, "When midsummer comes, let's get married." ”

"Okay."

Seeing that he didn't ask, Chu Wuqi asked rhetorically: "General Shen, don't you even ask me why I was at that time?" ”

General Shen leaned aside, and his gaze also fell on the phoenix wood, "Chief Chu, if you can't even guess this, then the husband of the mountain chief will have to be replaced." ”

**

"Brother Gu Ying, do you think I will be as lucky as Ah He?" On the second floor of the restaurant, Dongfang Xian, who was leaning on the window, spoke.

Chu Guying could hear his helplessness and regret from his tone, but he couldn't quite understand why he had such emotions.

As the crown prince of the dynasty, he has obtained something that many people can't get in their lifetimes.

Even though, he has too much to bear.

However, in the vast majority of cases, if you want to get something, you have to pay a price, and the difference is the size of the price.

For the prince's helplessness, Chu Guying will not give any sympathy.

Because part of his own exhaustion is because of the prince.

How does this allow him to empathize with a person who has given him suffering.

He smiled slightly: "Your Highness, Weichen wishes you all the best you want." ”

Chu Guying's words did not satisfy Dongfang Xian, Dongfang Xian has always regarded him as a close friend, but he is the only one who does this, he is a little tired, he doesn't want to use his status as a prince to oppress people at all, he just wants to stand on the same level as the people he cares about.

I just want to look at eye level, I don't want to look down.

"Brother Gu Ying, have you never regarded me as your brother?" Dongfang Xian took off all his defenses and only asked for a sincere answer, instead of being perfunctory every time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you must not say such things to Weichen," Chu Guying still ignored the sadness in his eyes, and then said in a tone that was neither distant nor close, "You are a king, I am a minister, and the king wants the minister to be the brother of the king, and the minister does not dare not agree." ”

Dongfang Xian's eyes were full of decline, Chu Guying saw it, but he still didn't see anything.

In fact, Chu Guying has always known what can be done and what cannot be done.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

However, he was still a member of the Chu family before he was a courtier.

At this moment, Chu Wujiao, who had been squatting on the ground while eating sugar gourds and playing with stones, suddenly got up, she reached out and pulled Chu Gu Ying's sleeve, "Big brother, Xiao Maruki wants to go down and play." ”

Chu Guying was a little embarrassed, "Little sister, eldest brother still has something to do, you wait a minute, the eldest brother will let Xiao Qi take you to play later, okay?" ”

"Big brother, Maruko wants to go now." Chu Wujiao puffed out her cheeks, looking like if she would cry immediately if he didn't agree.

Chu Guying looked at Dongfang Xian, who was still lonely, "Your Highness, do you have anything else to say to Weichen?" ”

Dongfang Xian bent down slightly, and looked at Chu Wujiu with gentle eyes, "Little pills, Brother Prince asked the prince to take you to play, okay?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Wujiao lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

As soon as the darkness left with Chu Wuji, Chu Guying asked, "Your Highness, did you talk to Weichen about King Jing?" ”

Chu Guying knew what Dongfang Xian wanted most, so he immediately got down to business.

However, Chu Guying was wrong.

Dongfang Xian didn't answer Chu Guying's question, but returned to the original question, "Brother Gu Ying, do you think I will be as lucky as Ah He?" ”

Asked by him again, Chu Guying couldn't help but think about other aspects.

Ah Crane lucky?

Something to do with Xiao Qi?

Engagement?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He directly didn't even care about the way of the monarch and the minister, and responded with a cold face: "Dongfang Xian, don't even think about it, our Chu family will not marry the Dongfang family." ”

A long time ago, Dongfang Xian had expected the reaction of the Chu family, and now, he was not surprised at all, but looked very calm, "Chu Guying, don't forget, Shen Jinhe also belongs to the Dongfang family." ”

"Dongfang Xian, can you compare with General Shen?" Chu Guying asked rhetorically.

Obviously, it can't, and neither can it be civil.

For a long time, Dongfang Xian didn't know.

If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Gubei did something wrong back then, his father would definitely reuse the Shen family, instead of guarding against it everywhere like now.

The Chu family, a scholarly family.

The Shen family, the home of the generals.

Chu Wuqi, the eldest lady of the Chu family, the head of Zhiyuan Academy.

Shen Jinhe, the eldest son of the Shen family, is the general of the Gubei Army.

No matter how you look at it, the two are a special match.

Dongfang Xian knew all of this very well, but he still couldn't help but envy Shen Jinhe.

Seeing that Dongfang Xian didn't speak, Chu Guying said again: "Dongfang Xian, you are the prince, you don't have a woman who wants to be a woman, and the sister will never marry into the royal family." ”

Dongfang Xian didn't want to give up, he asked, "Isn't it okay for the crown princess too?" ”

Chu Guying's attitude was very resolute: "No." ”

He didn't say why not, he believed he knew it.

"Chu Guying, I will give Xiao Maruko happiness." Dongfang Xian lowered his head and was silent for a while before raising his head, looking at Chu Guying sincerely, and solemnly assured.

Chu Guying smiled: "Your Highness, the most worthless thing in this world is the so-called promise, and you can't even protect yourself, so don't say anything else here." ”

"Xiao Maruko is only a six-year-old child's heart, she has me, Xiaoqi, and Ah He, she will have many people to protect her, so she won't bother His Highness to protect her."

"Your Highness should protect the thousands of people at dawn the most, not stick to the relationship between men and women."

Dongfang Xian didn't know these words.

It is precisely because he loves the people and peace that he can be canonized as the crown prince and be assisted by so many people.

He is the crown prince, and he can't be distracted by the love between men and women.

"Brother Gu Ying, it was this king who was abrupt just now," Dongfang Xian, who had eased his emotions, looked at Chu Gu Ying apologetically, "I hope you can understand more." ”

Chu Guying saluted, "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Dongfang Xian closed the window, "Brother Gu Ying, take a look at this post." ”

Chu Guying followed, "Hmm." ”

**

Chu Wuqi, who was about to go up to the second floor of the restaurant, stopped, turned to look at Shen Jinhe behind him, "Ah He, did you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any cooperation in private?" ”

"There is no cooperation." Shen Jin Heying.

"No cooperation?" Chu Wuqi was a little puzzled.

"It's just taking advantage of each other." Shen Jinhe took her hand and came to one of the rooms, "Xiao Qi, why did you suddenly remember to ask me this question?" ”

Chu Wuqi poured him and himself a cup of tea, and slowly spoke: "Ah He, after getting married, you and I are one husband and wife, your position is my position, and my position is also your position." ”

Shen Jinhe propped his left hand on the table, tilted his head and smiled: "Of course, Ah He listens to Xiao Qi." ”

Chu Wuqi also smiled: "You don't have to listen to me, whoever is right will listen to whomever is right." ”

Shen Jinhe shook his head with a smile: "No, what Xiao Qi said is right. ”

Chu Wuqi was a little crying and laughing: "General Shen is planning to be a strict wife?" ”

"That's right," Shen Jinhe played with her palm, not at all majestic in front of the soldiers, but more like a little ball begging for a sugar gourd, "Little Seventh Sister, are you allowed?" ”

"General Shen, can you be serious?" Chu Wuqi slapped his palm.

"I'm very serious," Shen Jinhe didn't think there was anything wrong with saying this, his father once said that he had to be hard outside and soft at home, and he had to be like his father, "Xiao Qi, I am fortunate to have joined hands, and I wish that I would be white in this life." ”

He likes how good Xiao Qi is, he is not the only one who knows.

There were many moments when he wanted to hold it firmly in his palm in his way, but he also knew very well in his heart that the little seven he liked was an eagle soaring in the sky, his little eagle.

Looking at the man's eyes, the girl couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, "General Shen, so am I." ”

Seeing the girl's red eyes, the man reached out and rubbed her hair, "Xiao Qi, isn't the love story of Gubei Hou Shizi very powerful?" ”

The girl suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "Normal." ”

"Why is it so ordinary?"

"It's just so-so."

"Chu Xiaoqi, this is summed up by reading a lot of folk books in this world."

“……”

Just as the two of them were about to go to find the prince and Chu Guying, the door of the room was kicked open, and it was Dongfang Xian, who was almost soaking wet, who came in, "Ah He, Xiao Maruko accidentally fell into the water." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Shen Jinhe, who was still smiling a second ago, immediately turned cold when he heard Dongfang Xian's words.

"Gu Ying has already taken Xiao Wanzi to the Shen Mansion, and I have already sent someone to find the doctor," Dongfang Xian clenched his fists hard to calm himself down, "Let's hurry over." ”

"Hmm." Shen Jinhe pulled Chu Wuqi, who was already pale, and walked out quickly.

Dongfang Xian did not follow, but sat motionless in his chair.

The dark second who was at the door walked in, "Your Highness, Miss Chu Er's Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will be fine." ”

Dongfang Xian's hand was trembling, "Dark Er, you say, is it that one day, everyone I care about will leave me." ”

Dark Er knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, no." ”

After a long while, Dongfang Xian spoke up: "Dark two, go back to the palace." ”

Dark Er was stunned: "Your Highness, don't you go to the Shen Mansion?" ”

Dongfang Xian didn't speak, but held the sachet on his waist hard, trying to get the slightest comfort from it.

In this life, can't he grow old with the girl he loves?

He was eager to know the answer to that question.

But, after so many years, he still didn't know.

No, it's not that he doesn't know, it's that he pretends not to know even though he knows.

Perhaps, this is self-deception.

**

After thinking about it several times, Chu Wuqi didn't figure out what was wrong.

Shen Jinhe just quietly thought about things on the side, not disturbing Chu Wuqi's contemplation.

A figure appeared by the window.

Shen Jinhe said: "Say." ”

The man clenched his fists: "Shizi, Miss Chu Er has met King Jing." ”

"King Jing?" Shen Jinhe was a little surprised.

On weekdays, Maruko hardly goes out, and even when she does, she is accompanied by someone, and he is sure that she will not have anything to do with King Xian.

The man nodded: "It's King Jing, my subordinates are not mistaken." ”

Shen Jinhe asked, "Where did the two go?" ”

"Shizi, my subordinates are not doing their jobs well, and they are lost."

"Let's go down."

"Xiao Qi," as soon as Shen Jinhe turned around, he bumped into Chu Wuqi's eyes with a melancholy face, "What do you think?" ”

Hearing that Xiao Maruki met King Jing, Chu Wuqi thought of the prince who was very embarrassed a few hours ago, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, "Ah He, why are you talking to Xiao Maruki about the crown princess?" ”

Her questioning made Shen Jinhe lose his mind for a moment, "Xiao Qi, that's just a joke of mine." ”

"Don't you like the prince?"

"Or?" He paused for a moment, and immediately understood why she was talking about this, "Xiao Qi, do you think that King Jing wanted to separate our relationship with the crown prince to cause Xiao Maruko to have an accident?" ”

Chu Wuqi calmly said what she was thinking: "If this is not the case, why did Xiao Maruki meet King Jing so coincidentally." ”

Shen Jinhe said: "Xiao Qi, maybe this is what Xiao Maruko has to go through. ”

Chu Wuqi didn't understand: "Ah He, I can't understand what you said. ”

"I'll understand later." Shen Jinhe did not explain further.

……

**

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Mu Zi and Ji Yu were lying on the sofa and had not woken up yet.

Jian Bian Mu, who had never spoken out, asked directly: "Boss Bai, Chaoyang said before that it was not a last resort, and we couldn't tell the third brother and Muzi about their previous life. ”

"Now, why are you and Chaoyang telling them about the time frame and Kuang's shocking things."

"Also, our mission shouldn't have much to do with the story of Lord Shen and Sister Chu."
