Zhao Pu's explanation is actually a bit awkward.

What does it look like for men to comfort each other? Fang Linyuan is not unexperienced.

It's a hug, that's also a hook on the shoulder, where is there someone buried in whose arms, and the posture is so indescribably ambiguous?

…… Yes, it's ambiguous.

But Fang Linyuan didn't hide anymore, nor did he struggle anymore.

His face was buried in Zhao Pu's arms...... It seems that this can be vaguely avoided by the inexplicable relationship.

Because he himself did not dare to admit that he himself ......

For some reason, it's inseparable from the current posture.

Xu is Zhao Pu's embrace is too strange to touch.

It's a little cool, with the smell of the fragrant snow in the plum garden, fluttering like a fairy. His clothes were soft, layered, soft and smooth, like a cloud that swirled around him.

But beneath this thin layer of mist is a hard, aggressive, masculine body.

Fang Linyuan's heart was pounding.

Yes. There is nothing wrong with it, maybe Zhao Pu is like him, and needs this kind of comfort from physical contact.

What's more, he and Zhao Pu are still nominally husband and wife now, what does it have to do with being closer?

But for some reason, the more Fang Linyuan comforted himself like this, the more he taught him that the roots of his ears were hot, and the meridians were so hot that they were soft.

He simply didn't think about anything anymore.

He rarely showed such a posture of evasion, dodging and dependence, like a fledgling, snuggling all the way in Zhao Pu's shoulder and neck.

Until Zhao Pu gently touched his shoulder.

"It's almost there." I just listened to Zhao Pu say.

These words were like a blazing sun shining into his dream, causing Fang Linyuan to wake up suddenly.

You can't be seen!

He couldn't be seen for some reason. In short, he sat up suddenly, as if he was hiding some kind of unspeakable emotion, and widened the distance between him and Zhao Xuan.

But...... At this time, he was still alone with Zhao Pu.

For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands, and he didn't know where to look with his eyes.

It was Zhao Pu next to him who took the lead.

Xu was reluctant to see him look flustered like this, and Zhao Pu next to him asked him in a soft voice: "Are you hungry?" ”

It's a very distracting, peaceful topic.

Fang Linyuan shook his head at his words, and after a moment, he nodded twice.

I saw Zhao Xuan raise his hand and take out a box from the box next to him.

The box was intricately carved with exotic patterns, inlaid with precious stones, using extremely simple craftsmanship.

Zhao Pu opened the box in front of him, and immediately, the mellow aroma wrapped in the soft sweetness of the grapes diffused from inside.

For a while, Fang Linyuan's eyes lit up.

"Grape soufflé?" As he spoke, he looked up at Zhao Xuan in surprise.

I saw Zhao Pu nodded.

"The envoy from Loulan is thinking about you and saying that you like it." Zhao Pu said. "They gave it to you."

Fang Linyuan's action of reaching out to take the soufflé stopped in mid-air, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "How do you know?" ”

Zhao Pu looked at him and smiled, didn't answer, just said, "Try it." ”

But he didn't need to say it, Fang Linyuan could also think of it.

The envoy sent something to the courtier, which is not in line with the courtesy. Zhao Pu knew about it, but he was afraid that he had done something out of it to justifiably reward these soufflés.

Fang Linyuan picked up a piece of soufflé from the box, paused, and sent it to Zhao Pu first: "Do you want to taste it?" ”

The soufflé is so small that it can be swallowed in one bite, making it very convenient to eat.

But Zhao Pu was holding the box with both hands, and there was no extra hand to take the soufflé handed by Fang Linyuan.

Fang Linyuan also seemed to be aware of this embarrassing matter.

He cleared his throat, but the hand handed to Zhao Xuan did not retract.

"Taste it, there is no white sugar in the Western Regions, and it is all a diet made of nectar." He seemed to want to alleviate something, and he said a few more words.

"They have a lot of grapes there, and the grapes grown in the sandy soil are especially sweet. The previous Loulan merchants said that if there were too many grapes, they would dry them and make snacks from cow's milk, especially ......"

His words then stopped in his throat.

Because before his words fell, Zhao Pu had already opened his lips, leaned over, and took the soufflé in his hand.

When the red lips were lightly opened, a warm breath fell on the hand.

After the slight touch, a touch of bright rouge remained on Fang Linyuan's fingertips.

——

Everything that happened today is indeed all in Zhao Pu's calculations.

Sang Zhixin is no longer in the climate, and he doesn't have to stay with Zhao Jin for long.

Compared to Sang Zhixin, he is just an arrogant and selfless fool, and he is incited to take the bait with a little trick.

It's just that outside of Zhao Pu's plan, Emperor Hongyou actually wanted to pull Fang Linyuan out to apologize for Zhao Jin.

This waste was born and raised by himself, and what is the use of pulling others in now?

So, Zhao Pu did not hesitate to overturn the peace he tried to whitewash.

At this time, even if Emperor Hongyou was angry with him again, it would be useless.

He is a princess, so he can't be easily demoted to death, at most he reprimands a few words and slaps him.

But the top priority is still what Zhao Jin should do.

There are only less than ten days left before the Qianqiu Banquet, and the death of the Fox has to give an explanation to the countries of Nanyang, and also to the face of Daxuan.

Emperor Hongyou summoned a group of ministers to the palace that night.

However, after the turmoil of the Yanzhou case, most of these ministers, except for those who did not dare to speak easily, were officials of the three princes and one party.

Their words were earnest, and they were all asking Emperor Hongyou to punish them lightly.

A group of people gossiped, and for a while said that the third prince was just frightened for a while, and if it wasn't for the death of the emperor, he was afraid that it would hurt His Majesty's bloodline; After a while, he said that the third prince is the pillar of the country, and even if His Majesty is angry, please open up to him.

Later, some people even began to blame the Persian state, how could such a hurtful beast pay tribute to His Majesty, it was for ill intentions.

Emperor Hongyou was so angry that the tea cup fell.

In silence, Emperor Hongyou calmly faced and commanded.

"Come on, go and invite Yuan Honglang."

——

On the first day, the decree in the palace was issued.

When he was killed, Emperor Hongyou reprimanded the three princes, saying that he was young and careless, impulsive and reckless, and should be severely punished. In order to give an explanation to the Persian envoys, Emperor Hongyou specially rewarded the Persian envoys with several treasures, and specially ordered the three princes to leave Beijing with the Jiangnan envoys and go to Jiangnan to experience their minds.

This is above the court, and it can be regarded as a great joy for everyone.

The third prince should indeed leave Beijing to avoid the limelight temporarily, and it just so happened that the officials of the party under his command had long coveted the beauty of the southward patrol, but they were only suffering from the fact that His Majesty had a favorite candidate, and did not give them the opportunity to operate from it.

Now that's it!

The third prince went south in person, even if it was just with him? Could it be that those people dare not listen to the orders of the three princes?

said that it was an experience, but it was just a light thunderstorm and a little rain, and it was just a face for the Nanyang envoys to see. Now it seems that His Majesty still loves His Royal Highness the Third Prince very much!

It's just that Zhao Jin is very unhappy.

But a fierce beast, his father and the emperor clung to it. It was enough to drive him out of the capital, but because of him, he urged the envoys to leave the capital ahead of schedule, and drove them out of the capital before the Wanshou Festival.

I didn't even give him a chance to celebrate his father's birthday!

On the day of leaving Beijing, gloomy black clouds weighed heavily on Shangjing. Zhao Jin had a calm face, got on the boat from the dock of the canal, and did not show up again.

A group of officials also followed the boat.

They were originally scheduled to set off after the Halloween Festival, and many of them did not pack up, but they had already prepared a big gift for His Majesty's birthday.

Suddenly disrupted the plan, they said that it was fake not to complain. But this is a game between His Majesty and the Third Highness, and they have no other way but to grit their teeth and endure it.

As a result, there was silence all the way, and there were several large ships, and few people exchanged pleasantries.

At this moment, an official who was on the same boat as Zhao Jin ascended to Zhao Jin's floor and said to the subordinates guarding the door that he had something important to ask to see His Royal Highness.

"Is there anything you have to say on the road?" Zhao Jin's tone in the door was not very good.

But I heard the man outside the door say: "Third Highness, Master Su has a few words before leaving, and asked the lower official to bring the words to His Highness as soon as possible." ”

Hearing that it was his grandfather, Zhao Jin softened his expression slightly, ordered someone to open the door, and let the person in.

A five-grade petty official in the ministry, Zhao Jin has no impression of him.

However, it is said that this person is very neat in handling things, and he is also very good, and he has been very used by his grandfather in the past two years, and this time it took a lot of effort to stuff it into the patrol team that went south.

Zhao Jin actually lived very comfortably on the boat.

He was on the largest ship, which had three floors, and the third of them was his.

Bedrooms, tea rooms

, the reception lobby, and the terrace with a view, everything is luxurious and beautiful.

Zhao Jin sat in the hall, looked at the man with a blank face, and saluted, and let him sit down.

"Say it." Zhao Jin said lazily.

saw that the man smiled lightly, and just raised his eyes to look at the few palace maids who were waiting around Zhao Jin.

Do you want to hold back people?

Zhao Jin frowned, raised his hand and asked people to retreat, but to see what this person had to say to him.

So, until only the two of them were left in the room, the official got up from his seat, faced Zhao Jin again, and knelt down.

"Your Highness." Listen to the man. "You are going south this time to patrol a province, and your responsibility is the most important, and Lord Su also has high hopes for you."

Zhao Jin frowned: "I know this." ”

His grandfather had told him again and again before he left, and he had remembered this for a long time.

If there is nothing new to say, I am afraid that the person in front of me is looking for an excuse to show up and rush to come to him.

Zhao Jin has seen a lot of this kind of person, and he was a little impatient for a while.

saw that the man paused slightly, and then continued.

"But Your Highness, I am only afraid that Your Majesty will ...... you Not so really. ”

Zhao Jin paused slightly.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

The man lowered his voice, but spoke slowly.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has punished you so heavily for a trivial matter, and Lord Su looks forward to you...... Think a little more about it. The man said.

Zhao Jin's brows were almost twisted into a pimple.

"My father is just angry with me." He said. "If you want to stir things up, see what you are."

Although he said this, his tone was clearly a little anxious.

Because he knows...... This time, his father's punishment was indeed a bit harsh.

More important things, he has already explained. The blame has been put on the head of the sixteen guards, but when Zhao Pu made a fuss, his father issued an edict to punish him, but Fang Linyuan, who was in charge of the sixteen guards, was unharmed.

It's because of Zhao Pu!

The slut daughter who killed his mother's concubine, his father had never looked at him in the face for so many years, but how could he listen to her so much this time......

But the man who knelt there sighed slowly.

"The concubine Niangniang's death is unknown, but the sixth highness of the queen's concubine is like a year." Listen to the man.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is only fifty now, and it is the heyday of Spring and Autumn."

Zhao Jin's hand resting on the seat suddenly tightened.

"What do you mean by not being clear?" He said angrily.

"You make it clear. Didn't the original culprits all die in the cold palace? ”

The kneeling man didn't speak, but slowly stepped forward on his knees and handed over a secret letter to Zhao Jin's hand with both hands.

The letter was opened, and it was in the handwriting of his grandfather. He didn't see much, but he could recognize it.

[The culprit of Niangniang's death seems to be someone else, I heard that the person who was the mother of the baby is now in Jiangnan, and I also ask His Royal Highness to go in person to find out. 】

Zhao Jin's pupils tightened suddenly.

for his mother's ...... Isn't it Liao Cai, the imperial judge of the Tai Hospital and the most trusted doctor of the father?

"Liao Cai is now in Jiangnan?" Zhao Jin asked.

I saw the kneeling official kowtow and said, "After Imperial Doctor Liao retires, he will go back to Jiangnan to retire." ”

Zhao Jin held the letter for a long time and nodded slowly.

"Okay." He said. "My grandfather asked the prince to check, so I checked it. Where is Liao Cai, after staying in Jiangnan, you will immediately go to find it for this prince. ”

The man hurriedly responded: "Yes! The next officer receives the order! ”

Seeing that he looked flattering again, Zhao Jin was too lazy to be false with him, waved his hand, and let him leave.

The carved wooden door closed again, and he was the only one left in the huge room.

The river outside the window was rolling away, and Zhao Jin held the letter paper and was silent for a long time.

Zhao Jue was born a few years ago...... He was negligent for a moment, forgetting that there was another him in the palace.

Although this unknown official is abrupt, there is one thing that is not wrong.

Before Zhao Jue grew up, he was his father's only choice, but in another five or ten years, when that kid grows up, who knows where his father's heart will go?

For many years, the only seedling of the heavenly family has long regarded the golden chair as an item that he should inherit.

What is in your own pocket...... I can't allow others to snatch it away.

——

The fleet of courtiers who went south to patrol the press went all the way down the canal, the three princes were sent away, and Jingzhong returned to its original tranquility.

Nothing seems to have changed, except for Fang Linyuan, who can't help but look at the fingertips of his right hand every time he pinched the grape soufflé.

The rouge was clearly wiped away, but it seemed to be engraved here, and every time I looked there, I saw that piece of red and hazy appeared there, faintly seductive.

I hooked him and wanted to touch it on my lips, as if I wanted that bright color to be dyed somewhere.

Such behavior is simply ridiculous.

So much so that on that day, when he led the sixteen guards out of the city to meet the belated Goryeo envoys, he passed by Vasher and heard the female concubine singing inside.

He had a strange idea out of nowhere.

If there is no desire to save Li Lang, Feng Suzhen dresses up as a man, ascends to the emperor's list, and goes to the Golden Palace, is it really possible to raise eyebrows with the princess and achieve a good couple?

After all...... Except for the fact that she is a woman, they are married.

Somehow, he thought like this, but the words came out, and Li Chengan next to him heard it.

He looked at Fang Linyuan inexplicably, then turned his head to look at the stage not far away, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth with difficulty.

"How could the general think that?" He asked.

Fang Linyuan paused slightly.

Why else, dizzy.

Fang Linyuan didn't answer, just silently turned his eyes away.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengan really thought about this problem.

"If she really doesn't want to be separated, she should be able to force it like this." He said.

"Anyway, the princess doesn't have to inherit the throne, in the eyes of others, at most it will end up without a queen."

Inherit the unification.

When this word fell in his ears, Fang Linyuan paused slightly.

Zhao Pu is different from the people in the play. From the day he entered his marquis's mansion, he came with the heart of achieving great things. He is a noble man, and what else is there to accomplish besides the dragon chair on the clouds.

Between him and men, it is not just a matter of men and women.

Fang Linyuan lowered his eyes slightly.

But the moment he lowered his eyes, he suddenly realized another thing.

Grow old together and make a good couple...... Why is it not the princess in the play, but him and Zhao Pu?

——

Fang Linyuan's mind was in chaos.

Did he have such thoughts about Zhao Pu?

He...... He grew up in the barracks, and it was not that he had no dealings with men, so why did he have such thoughts about another man?

Maybe...... It doesn't have to be because of men.

From childhood to adulthood, whether male or female, the only thing that seems to be all of them is Zhao Pu.

At the beginning, it was Zhao Pu's ethereal and unrealistic phantom. The phantom was the "she" he had conceived from memory, weak but tenacious, like a mountain flower blooming in a blizzard.

After that, the holy mountain flower showed her minions, tore off the disguise of "her", and revealed her original cruel and vicious appearance.

Why has it changed since then?

Xu gradually realized that soft flowers could not grow in the abyss surrounded by demons. He grew scales and fangs to protect himself, and grew the appearance of a ghost, but in fact, under the layers of clouds, it was still the same flower he had seen years ago.

is still tenacious, gentle and bright-hearted, the only change is that "she" has become "him".

He seems to ...... Years later, I fell in love with the same person again.

He didn't say anything for a long time.

Li Chengan, who was following him, seemed to realize something.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, sitting on the horse as if half of his soul had been drained, Li Chengan was startled.

It's not because of the drama, right? Their generals are not so sentimental people, for the sake of the two women who got married by mistake in the play, are they related?

…… Two women! Even if they are sentimental, there is no reason for their generals to empathize!

“…… Checkmate? He called Fang Linyuan tentatively.

But seeing Fang Linyuan looking at him expressionlessly, the emotions in those eyes seemed to far exceed the sympathy for a pair of women.

"Are you alright?" Li Chengan was stupid.

I saw Fang Linyuan nodding and was speechless.

He was in a mess right now, and he really didn't know what to say. ：，，.
