Cha Jiu always wanted to find an opportunity to push Shen Beizhan down.

But this rough man was as careful as dust, and was always worried about aggravating her injury, and no matter how he tempted her, he refused to touch her.

Cha Jiu was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks and blew his forehead, but he was helpless.

The system couldn't help but sigh: "Shen Beizhan's self-control is too strong, my aphrodisiac even has to fight for a day and a night even if I eat cattle and horses, and Shen Beizhan has carried it several times." ”

"No, you gave him the medicine for cows and horses?"

"Hey, hey." The system smiled weakly, "Produced by the system, it is common for humans and animals, it's okay, it's okay." ”

But waiting and waiting, I finally asked Cha Jiu to wait for an opportunity.

……

The queen held a spring banquet and invited distinguished guests to the palace.

Song Heng and Chu Mengwan were also among them.

Chu Mengwan has been secretly communicating with Song Heng, and she is already two months pregnant at this time.

She couldn't wait to completely ruin Cha Jiu's reputation so that she could marry into the Song family as soon as possible.

"Is that thing arranged?" Chu Mengwan picked up the clothes that entered the palace for the banquet, and asked the nurse Chen beside her.

Chen replied: "Ready, the first prince and some old people are on errands in the palace, although it is not an important position, but it is enough to deal with Princess Chenghui this time." ”

Chu Mengwan's pregnancy is known only to Chunxiao, the maid next to her, and the Chen family, who has taken care of her since she was a child.

Chunxiao was very loyal, because she was worried about her master's preoccupation, and the banquet clothes she prepared were loose to cover her stomach.

Chen thought more thoroughly: "The child will not show her pregnancy in two months, so you can prepare some good-looking and slim clothes, the looser it is, the more suspicious it is." ”

Chunxiao had to re-prepare her clothes and sighed, "County Lord, why can't you let Lord Song know about your pregnancy?" We're the only ones scheming, and we're struggling. ”

Chu Mengwan was resolute: "No, before I marry into the Song family, this matter must not be known to Brother Song." ”

She knows Song Heng's character very well.

Although he loved her, if he knew that she was pregnant, he would definitely not let her keep the child.

Because the risk is too great, once discovered, the reputation and future of both of them will be ruined.

But Chu Mengwan was really reluctant to give up this child.

This is a testimony of her and Brother Song's love.

Thinking of this, Chu Mengwan's heart was even more urgent to calculate Cha Jiu.

……

Before entering the palace, Shen Beizhan shaved his beard.

Cha Jiu stood beside the carriage and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him walking from under the trees with fallen flowers flying in the courtyard with a clean face.

In the past, Shen Beizhan's appearance was covered by a thick beard, and he couldn't see half of his true face.

Looking at it now, the hair is tied into ink, and the face is deep. There is nothing in the facial features that is not exquisite, there is nothing that is not coincidental, one more point is too much, and one point less is insufficient.

The deep eyebrows and eyes are like cold stars splashing ink, and the high nose bridge seems to be carefully carved.

The thin lips are unruly, the jawline is distinct, and the momentum of the whole person is like a cold knife out of the sheath.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the god of war who stepped on the clouds from the heavenly realm.

Even Qingdai and Agarwood couldn't help but gasp when they saw it.

Who said General Shen Si was ugly? What nonsense!

Even if this capital, no, turns this Chu country upside down, it will be difficult to find a better-looking person than this.

Shen Beizhan has been showing people with a full face and beard for many years, but now he is suddenly shaved off, and he is very unaccustomed to it.

When he saw that Cha Jiu was always staring at his face, he scratched his head shyly and said, "I...... Isn't it weird to have a shaved beard? ”

Cha Jiu shook his head and said sincerely: "Fengshen is handsome, and he is like a celestial man." So where did your title of 'Ghost Face General' come from? There is still such a handsome male Shura in this Yama Temple? ”

Shen Beizhan heard that Cha Jiu was praising him, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, maybe my posture of killing the enemy on the battlefield is too terrifying?" In one battle I took the heads of more than 200 enemy soldiers, covered in blood, and they looked at the horror and called me so. ”

He still remembered that after the battle, he seemed to have walked out of a pool of blood, every hair was dripping with blood, and his eyelids were stuck with dried blood clots, half-open and half-closed, which was very terrifying.

But when the people in the border city saw him, they were not afraid in the slightest.

They greeted each other with tears in their eyes, and the old man pulled the young boy to kneel, pointed at him, and said: "Look clearly, this is the heroic general who protects us, and when the barbarian bandits see him, they can see the ghost-faced Yin coming up from the underworld to ask for his life." ”

Cha Jiu came to his senses.

It turns out that "ghost face" does not refer to Shen Beizhan being ugly, but to describe that the barbarian enemy army knows that the time of death has come when they see him.

At this time, the "ghost-faced general" was very picky about the layout in the carriage.

"This cushion is not thick enough, His Highness's injuries are not yet complete, and it will be uncomfortable to sit."

"This pastry has been hard for a long time, so hurry up and go to the kitchen to change some hot and soft ones."

Qing Dai and Agarwood looked at each other, and they really couldn't imagine the appearance of this chattering General Shen on the battlefield.

While the next person went to change the pastry, Cha Jiu asked in the casual chat, "Why did you suddenly remember to shave your beard?" ”

Shen Beizhan was hesitant and refused to tell the reason for a long time.

In fact, from the time he got married to the time he hunted, he had been hearing people around him laughing at his rough appearance with a beard.

He didn't care.

But he didn't want to hear others laugh at Cha Jiu for having a raunchy, ugly and vulgar husband.

He felt that she was worthy of the best things in heaven and earth, and that she should enjoy the respect and envy of others.

He's not the best, but he's trying to make himself better.

……

The place where the cherry blossom viewing banquet is held is set up in Fanghua Palace, surrounded by a variety of splendid and blooming flowers, and in the middle is an elegant banquet with meandering water.

The crowd is either appreciating flowers and chanting poems, or drinking tea and talking, which is very lively.

Song Heng stood in front of the flowers, surrounded by several literati friends, and wrote a poem with the theme of flowers.

"Song Dawen is brilliant, and he will definitely be able to pick the poems of this flower-viewing banquet."

Song Heng first shirked a few times, and then saw Yuan Xiang's figure walking towards this side in the afterglow, so he took advantage of the situation, swiped his pen, and wrote the poem he had prepared long ago on the paper.

When he stopped the last stroke, Yuan Xiang didn't know when he was already standing beside him, watching quietly.

Song Heng pretended to find him at this time, and bowed his hand: "Xiangye." ”

Yuan Xiang pressed his hand and said in an easy-going tone: "Between you and me, there is no need to be polite." ”

After that, Yuan Xiang's eyes were suddenly attracted by the last line of poetry on the paper.

“…… Spring is like passing water, and the flowers are empty. He stroked his long beard and muttered this sentence, and he knew Song Heng's mind when he wrote the poem.

Obviously, there are flowers in full bloom in front of him, but Song Heng touches the beautiful scenery and feels sad, nostalgic for the good times when he and his deceased wife enjoyed the flowers.

Yuan Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "It's the fifth year that Xiang'er has left." ”

Yuan Shang, the daughter of Yuan Xiang's early death, is also Song Heng's deceased wife.

Song Heng said lonely: "Exactly, the past is gone, and the flowers are gone, fortunately, I can always meet with Xiang'er in my dreams over the years, so that I can understand lovesickness." ”

Yuan Xiang patted him on the shoulder: "You have a noble character, you value love and righteousness, and it is her blessing that Shang'er can meet you in this life." But don't be too sad and delay your future. ”

Song Heng smiled bitterly: "I am now a deputy political envoy, and I don't handle important matters, and I can't be taken seriously by the emperor, so there is nothing to delay." ”

Yuan Xiang appeased: "Don't worry, Chen Bin is old and ready to return to his hometown." At that time, this position will be vacated, and I will recommend you to the emperor. ”

Song Heng hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you for your trust." ”

Yuan Xiang stroked his beard: "I believe in my vision of people, don't let me down." ”

At an angle that Yuan Xiang couldn't see, Song Heng, who bent down to thank him, showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He had long known the news that the envoy was going to resign.

Therefore, this time the mourning poem evoked Yuan's sympathy, which was a step he carefully designed.

Looking up again to talk and laugh, Song Heng saw Cha Jiu coming beautifully, followed by a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Song Heng saw the man's face clearly and was stunned.
