In the past few years, Lin Jingzhu has asked Song Waner the same question several times.

Most of the time, Song Wan'er would smile and say that it was very good, and a few times she had an awkward relationship with Zhao Feng'an, and she would pout her lips and complain: "Zhao Feng'an is really annoying." However, the coquettish element in the tone accounts for most of it.

But today, Song Wan'er smiled, and after a while, she replied in a low voice: "Jingzhu, I'...... I don't know. ”

Song Wan'er has always been smart and cheerful, Lin Jingzhu has never seen her so low, and she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Could it be that the rumors of the concubine and the singer in Xiangyuanlou are true?" ”

"He said no, but I couldn't understand him." Song Wan'er looked at the layers of lotus leaves in the pool, a gust of wind blew, the lotus leaves swayed, and from the gaps exposed between the lotus leaves, you could see the dark and faint water in the pool below.

Lin Jingzhu sighed and said, "You can't understand it, as a bystander, I can't guess." Just as he is hostile to my brother, there is no other reason than to be jealous, but if it is really because of jealousy, his attitude towards you should not be like this, it is really incomprehensible. ”

The wind is stronger, the lotus leaves are rolling, and a blooming lotus flower sticking out of the lotus leaf is swaying slightly in the wind, obviously it is a delicate petal and stem, but it looks very tall and tough.

Song Wan'er looked at the lotus flower for a while, then smiled again, and said, "I haven't sighed yet, you sigh for me." It's sad to think about, but it's not that complicated. I thought about it carefully, I chased him for five years, and forcibly held him as a husband and wife for three years, indeed because I liked him. It is precisely because I like him that I can tolerate his unwillingness and coldness towards me, but I can't tolerate other women in his heart. So if he really has a relationship with that singer, I will propose reconciliation to my father and let him let me live. ”

Lin Jingzhu looked at Song Wan'er's bright side face with a sense of determination, and sighed in her heart.

Lin Jingzhu still remembers that five years ago, Song Wan'er fell in love at first sight with Zhao Feng'an, the proton of Zhao Guo, who had just arrived in Shengyang.

Because Zhao has been attached to the Song State for many years, the proton status of Zhao State is very low.

At that time, the residence arranged for Zhao Feng'an was even a dilapidated courtyard, full of barren grass, and the house was leaking from wind and rain.

And the princes and disciples of the Song Kingdom also despised Zhao Feng'an very much, and because he won the favor of Princess Changle, they were all a little hostile to him.

It's just that although Zhao Feng'an is down, he is indifferent and arrogant in his bones, no one wants to be with him, and he doesn't care, he goes alone every day.

Although she was loved by Song Wan'er, she was not moved in the slightest, not only that, but in addition to her indifference, Zhao Feng'an seemed to deliberately have an extra layer of rejection for Song Wan'er.

And Song Wan'er is in love for the first time, her heart is full of beloved, and she can't wait to hold her fiery heart of admiration in front of Zhao Feng'an.

Ignoring Zhao Feng'an's neglect, she often visited him in the dilapidated courtyard where he lived.

Not only that, Song Wan'er has always insisted that Zhao Feng'an is martial and martial, and his personality is also noble and noble, I don't know how much stronger than those noble sons and daughters of the Song Kingdom who are not doing their jobs, she doesn't want to see Zhao Feng'an's talents buried, and she fought with her father to make Zhao Feng'an serve in the imperial court, and was punished by her father several times.

Once, the emperor was so angry that he punished Song Wan'er for grounding herself in the palace and forbade her to go out of the palace to see Zhao Feng'an.

Lin Jingzhu entered the palace to visit her, and persuaded her bitterly: "You have done so much for Zhao Feng'an, and he doesn't appreciate your affection, why are you suffering?" ”

Lin Wan'er didn't care, and said with a hearty smile, "Since you really love it, how can you compare the gains and losses?" And I always felt that there was a heavy heart in Bong's heart, so I wanted to be kind to him, and if I saw him with some pleasure, I would be happy to do so. ”

Lin Wan'er, who was sixteen years old at the time, had a moth-like persistence in her smile, and her smile was sweet and stubborn.

From that time, Lin Jingzhu knew that this princess, who had been pampered and raised by thousands of people, actually had a kind of decisive strength in her heart, and she was not as delicate as she appeared on the surface.

In the past five years, Lin Jingzhu has watched Song Wan'er pay wholeheartedly, and hopes that their marriage will have a good ending.

She suddenly remembered something, pulled Lin Wan'er and said, "By the way, I heard that the singer was from Zhao State before, and Sheng Yang, who only came here in the last few months, could it be that she was an old acquaintance with the horse in Zhao State before?" ”

"She's from Zhao?" Song Wan'er was a little surprised, but she really didn't expect her to have this relationship with the horse.

"Yes, I heard from my brother. Maybe the colt just chatted with her about the old things of Zhao Guo to comfort the hometown, after all, from the colt's hometown, some special feelings are also possible, not as you think. Lin Jingzhu sincerely comforted and said: "You husband and wife for three years, don't talk lightly and leave." ”

Lin Jingzhu looked left and right at the maids who were far away, approached Song Wan'er, lowered her voice and asked, "Speaking of which, you have all been married for three years, why don't you have any children?" Do you have ......? ”

Lin Jingzhu and Song Wan'er have been close since childhood, and often talk privately together, so they don't shy away from talking about the life of husband and wife.

Thinking of Zhao Feng'an's domineering and domineering style in bed and the frequent sexual affairs between the two of them, Lin Wan'er's face turned slightly red and whispered, "I don't know why." ”

Lin Jingzhu asked with concern: "Do you want to go and see the doctor?" I heard that there is a miracle doctor in Shengyang City, who specializes in this, and his medical skills are extremely high, and he is said to be the reincarnation of Guanyin. I know your identity is swaggering, if you want to see it, I will secretly arrange it for you. ”

Song Wan'er had never thought about this carefully before, but now that she was asked, she felt that having a child might not be a bad thing.

The relationship with Zhao Feng'an has always been her efforts to maintain, and she was also willing, but for some reason, this Qingyan incident made her feel tired.

If you have a child, maybe they can be closer and stronger?

Song Wan'er pursed her lips and thought about it, and said, "It's okay, let the doctor take a look first, and be more steady." ”

The two of them whispered about the boudoir, and suddenly heard the voice of the maid next to them asking for peace, and looked up, it was Lin Jingtu who didn't know when he came back, and was standing outside the lotus pavilion with his hands behind his back.

He had already changed into his regular clothes, wearing a moon-white robe, wearing a white jade crown, with a long body and an elegant demeanor.

Lin Jingtu is four years older than Song Wan'er, and everyone knows that he has admired this delicate and clever Princess Changle since he was a teenager.

The Lin family holds military power, has a prominent background, and General Lin is the most trusted general of the emperor today, everyone is sure that it will be a matter of time before Princess Changle marries into the Lin Mansion, but they didn't expect to kill Zhao Feng'an halfway.

Three years ago, the emperor finally couldn't screw Princess Changle, and assigned her marriage to Zhao Feng'an, and the day after the holy decree was issued, Lin Jingtu asked the emperor for a decree and asked him to go to the north to guard the customs.

One to go for three years.

Now that we have seen each other after three years, Lin Jingtu's eyes are deep, and he carefully looks at Song Wan'er's charming face, his eyes are soft and inquiring.

Everyone else thinks that time has passed, only he knows that he has been away for three years, and his longing for her has not diminished at all, but her heart is not in him, and she is already married to a wife, so he can only bury his feelings in his heart.

Now seeing that Song Wan'er's face is still delicate, fading the youthfulness of a girl, and more bright and radiant than three years ago, Lin Jingtu lost his mind for a moment, and tried his best to speak calmly and said, "Princess, long time no see." ”

And Song Wan'er and the Lin family brothers and sisters often played together when they were young, and Lin Jingtu took very good care of her, even more pampered than the prince's own brother.

Song Wan'er has never had a relationship between men and women for him, but she has always regarded him as a brother who can be relied on, and later because of Zhao Feng'an's incident, she was even more apologetic to him.

I haven't seen her for three years, Lin Jingtu has lost a lot of weight, and her complexion has changed a lot, thinking about the hard life at the border, Song Wan'er couldn't help but redden, stood up and whispered: "Brother Jingtu, you're back." ”

Lin Jingzhu had already greeted her, pulled Lin Jingtu into the pavilion, and asked the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "I've been thinking about Wan'er all day, Wan'er is here today, why are you so polite?" ”

Lin Jingzhu knew that her brother and Wan'er must be a little embarrassed to meet now, so she deliberately found something to say to ease the atmosphere between the two.

The three of them chatted about what Lin Jingtu saw and heard when he was guarding the customs in the north, the customs and customs in the north are very different from those in Shengyang, Song Wan'er listened to it interestingly, no longer cramped, a pair of beautiful eyes full of agility, and her demeanor also returned to her usual delicate and cute.

The topic gradually changed from the northern terroir back to Shengyang, and Lin Jingzhu asked casually: "Brother, why did you come back so late today?" ”

Lin Jingtu picked up the tea bowl and lowered his head to take a sip of tea, and said, "Something happened in the morning today, and it took some time to deal with it. ”

"What's the matter? Why is it so obscure? Because both the father and son of the Lin family were guarding the customs outside, and Mrs. Lin stayed in the Lin Mansion as the town of Shengyang, she would pay attention to some court affairs, and Lin Jingzhu also knew a lot of political affairs with her mother, so as soon as her brother said it, she asked with great interest.

Lin Jingtu glanced at Song Wan'er again, thought for a moment and said: "Earlier this day, the emperor decreed that the official position of Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was reduced. ”

"Is it the Lord Qin who accompanied the emperor when he was young?" Lin Jingzhu looked surprised.

No wonder Lin Jingzhu was surprised, as we all know, because of the old love of accompanying the young students, after the emperor took the throne, he took great care of Qin Ying and appointed him to be the head of the six ministries, and was in charge of the promotion and demotion of hundreds of officials in the court.

In the next few years, Qin Ying became more and more domineering, and his family had countless money, but his position was still stable and unshakable.

It is also rumored that Qin Ying and the emperor not only had a relationship with him back then, but Qin Ying also did something that could not be passed on in order to help the emperor ascend the throne, so now Lord Qin's various glory and wealth can be regarded as the emperor's reward.

No one expected that in the early court today, the emperor suddenly announced Qin Ying's eight major crimes in public, in addition to corruption and disregard for the law and discipline, there was also a great rebellion against the monarch, and Qin Ying was sent to the Imperial Prison.

Qin Ying was very shocked, and argued with reason, seeing that he was powerless to return to heaven in the end, he shouted and scolded in front of hundreds of officials, and was stuffed with a rag by the guards of the Nine Gates and escorted down.

Lin Jingtu didn't want to mention such a heavy matter of government affairs, so he tried to describe the whole process as briefly as possible.

Hearing this, Song Wan'er suddenly asked, "What did he scold above the court?" ”

Lin Jingtu hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Qin Ying was in a hurry to jump over the wall, he didn't choose what to say, he kept scolding Zhao Feng'an for his wolf ambition, and then the whole person lost his mind and went crazy, and he actually slandered the emperor for being ungrateful......" Halfway through his words, Lin Jingtu realized that he had lost his words and stopped suddenly.

Song Wan'er didn't pay attention to Lin Jingtu's strange appearance, she recalled that she met Qin Ying in the Ministry of Officials yesterday, he said that Zhao Feng'an collected evidence and sowed discord in front of the emperor, thinking that he should have heard the wind and grass at that time.

So, Qin Ying's downfall was really done by Zhao Feng'an?

Seeing Song Wan'er's thoughtful look, Lin Jingtu comforted and said: "Qin Ying's behavior in the past few years is indeed too arrogant, and many people have a lot of opinions about him, and he is to blame. ”

Song Wan'er asked again: "But why did he say that my father was ungrateful?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Jingtu hurriedly looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "You can't talk nonsense, the emperor has always been benevolent and loves the people, how can he listen to Qin Ying's nonsense?" ”

Song Wan'er looked at Lin Jingtu anxiously, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, Brother Jingtu doesn't need to be so careful in front of me, I'm just curious." Since you don't say it, I'll go into the palace another day and ask my father directly. ”

Lin Jingtu wanted to speak and stopped, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Wan'er, we are young, and the things of our father's generation are already in the dust, we don't know, and we don't have to know too much, understand?" ”

Seeing Lin Jingtu so serious, Song Wan'er gradually smiled, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

At this time, a maid came over to ask Lin Jingzhu how to prepare dinner, Lin Jingzhu said "ah" and said, "It's already this hour, Wan'er, you stay and have dinner with us today, I'll go to the dining room to prepare a few dishes you like." ”

Since getting married, Song Wan'er has usually had dinner with Zhao Feng'an, but her mind flashed the scene when Zhao Feng'an rode away to see Qingyan yesterday, and saw the expectant eyes of the Lin family brothers and sisters, so she smiled and agreed.

Lin Jingzhu left with the maid to explain the preparation of dinner.

Lin Jingtu accompanied Song Wan'er to continue drinking tea and enjoying flowers in the Lotus Pavilion, and the two chatted about the changes in the sun in the past three years.

Song Wan'er was thinking about Mrs. Lin's entrustment in her heart, and was secretly thinking about how to ask Lin Jingtu about marrying a wife, but she heard Lin Jingtu's voice ask in a low voice: "Wan'er, how have you been doing in the past three years?" ”

Song Wan'er propped her cheeks and replied with a lazy smile: "Okay, there's nothing wrong with that." ”

He ...... Is it good for you? Lin Jingtu's affectionate gaze stuck to Song Wan'er's delicate face, and finally asked the long-suppressed question in his heart.

But at this moment, a cold voice came from not far away: "Wan'er." ”

The two turned their heads at the same time, and it was Zhao Fengan standing outside the pavilion, his face gloomy, looking at the two people sitting opposite each other in the pavilion with a calm expression.
