I don't know how long it took for this rain to stop.

Cha Jiu lay weakly in Shen Beizhan's arms, his eyes were red, and tears were half falling.

Such a beautiful scenery made Shen Beizhan endure the green tendons bursting out on the back of his hand, and the Adam's apple slid up and down.

But after he unraveled the medicinal properties of Chajiu, he no longer had any extra movements, and at this time, he just tidied up her scattered clothes to cover the spring light that made his mouth dry.

The system stammered: "I, I really didn't expect that at this point, he could still endure it." ”

Shen Beizhan did everything just now, but he was just one last step.

Cha Jiu looked at his neat clothes, and then recalled her gaffe under his appeasement just now, such a contrast made her so ashamed that she just wanted to find a place to drill down.

Shen Beizhan caressed her long silky hair lovingly, and his tone was worried: "What's wrong?" Isn't it still uncomfortable? ”

Cha Jiu said in a sullen voice: "Don't feel uncomfortable, you can really bear it." ”

Shen Beizhan naturally wouldn't tell her that she was about to explode somewhere.

He squeezed his palms to the last of his senses.

"Ah Yuan, I don't want to be happy with you when you are controlled by drugs, so we won't be able to tell each other's hearts." "And it's so shabby and it's not safe here." ”

The bed was not made of pineapple either, and the mattress was not soft enough.

Ah Yuan's body is delicate, what if the skin is scratched by this rough mattress?

Cha Jiu was stunned and looked up at him.

Shen Beizhan lowered his head and cherished a kiss on her eyes.

……

Cha Jiu changed into new clothes, and returned to the banquet seat with Shen Beizhan as if nothing had happened.

Song Heng was surprised.

He vaguely knew Chu Mengwan's plan, and knew that Cha Jiu should not appear here at this time.

Song Heng turned his head to look at Chu Mengwan in the women's banquet again, but found that her place was empty and there was no one to be seen.

Could it be that something was wrong?

Shen Beizhan noticed Song Heng's posture of looking left and right, and knew that he was also involved or aware of this.

"Ah Yuan, how do you want to deal with them? Whatever you want to do, I and the entire General's Mansion will support you. ”

Prince Gong's Mansion has an old department in the palace, isn't there a general's mansion?

It's just that the Shen family has always only been loyal ministers, and they are unwilling and disdainful to use these forces to seek things that do not belong to them.

But now that Song Heng and Chu Mengwan have hit Cha Jiu with their ideas, they have touched Shen Beizhan's scales.

Where can he take care of any pure and loyal ministers? Those who can't protect their wives and children are all bad seeds!

Shen Beizhan's tone was fierce, but his movements in his hands were gentle, and he remembered to pick up a cup of warm tea for Cha Jiu to moisten his throat.

Cha Jiu took a sip of tea from his hand, stared at him with a slanted eye, and smiled a little teasingly: "General Shen is so mighty, why didn't he have this momentum in bed just now?" ”

Shen Beizhan was looked at by her like this, his face turned red again, his heart was itchy again, his anger was gone, and his eyes were dark: "Whether I have this momentum or not, you will know when I go back today." ”

Hmph, laugh at him now, I'm afraid I'll have to cry and beg for mercy tonight!

Cha Jiu didn't tease him anymore, his eyes fell back on Song Heng, with a cold feeling: "I have already arranged for someone to do this, Chu Mengwan's calculation of me, I want her to eat it all by herself." ”

On the other side, Song Heng felt uneasy in his heart.

He wanted to leave the table to find Chu Mengwan, but he happened to meet the emperor, the crown prince, and the second prince who had finished the discussion.

They all knelt on their knees and saluted.

"Flat, sit down." The emperor is seated.

Song Heng didn't get up and leave at this time, so he could only press it for the time being and wait and see what happened.

"Song Heng, I heard Yuan Xiang say that you made a good poem? Why don't you read it to the public, so that I can enjoy it with you. "The emperor is interested.

Song Heng was flattered.

This is Yuan Xiang's intention to promote him and let him show his talent and character in front of the emperor.

Song Heng will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

He took out all his skills, used the most melodious and pleasant tone, and the fullest emotion, read the poem affectionately, and even shed tears in the sentimental places.

Many people present were infected by his emotions and wiped away their tears.

The corners of Yuan Xiang's eyes were also moist.

Only Shen Beizhan and Cha Jiu were indifferent, and even mocked themselves in their hearts.

After the poem, the emperor nodded and admired it.

"I still remember that you were an official in the court when you were selected for Tanhua, and you must not abuse it with such character and literary talent."

This sentence vaguely means that he is ready to lift Song Heng.

The eyes of everyone looking at Song Heng suddenly became different.

The corners of Song Heng's lips were slightly invisibly hooked, and he thanked the emperor for his words of appreciation.

Cha Jiu suddenly spoke: "Lord Song is deeply affectionate and righteous, and he is really a model for the men of my Chu country, I don't know how many people who spoil their concubines and kill their wives and have bad character are embarrassed. ”

Song Heng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Cha Jiu, who had been indifferent recently, would give such high praise in front of everyone.

He hurriedly said modestly: "Your Highness has praised it falsely. ”

Unexpectedly, Cha Jiu threw a thunderous boulder in the next sentence.

"Lord Song has both ability and political integrity, rare in the world, if his father and the emperor rewarded him with a chastity archway, showing his deep affection for his deceased wife, so that everyone in the world knows that our court knows how to use people and how to reward virtue."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.

Shen Beizhan choked on the drink several times, and forced a smile while coughing.

Some people questioned: "This is the act of setting up a chastity archway for men, which is still unheard of since the beginning of the dynasty." ”

Cha Jiu responded generously: "The imperial court's reward for the archway can be described as a glorious thing, why do women receive it, but men don't get it?" Lord Song for the deceased wife to keep the festival, empty name can not be, if you can get the glory of the archway of chastity, this can be recorded in the annals of history, through the ages. ”

Although the prince didn't know why Cha Jiu mentioned this archway, he used to find reasons for his sister: "Father, son-in-law think this move is feasible." ”

"First, it is Lord Song's deep affection for his deceased wife that really touches the world and is worthy of praise; Second, now there are hidden signs of the trend of spoiling concubines and killing wives across the country, and in the long run, it is inevitable that the etiquette law will be disorderly, and the program will often collapse. It is to reward the archway of Lord Song, and it can also knock these people who transgress the etiquette, so that the monarch and the minister, the father and son, the husband and wife, and the concubine, all return to their ways. ”

The prince's argument is well-founded.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "What the prince said is that this matter is beneficial to the imperial court. ”

Maintain the ancestral rules of the Chu State, and his imperial rule can last for a long time.

The crown prince grasped the point that the emperor valued the most.

The second prince was not to be left behind the crown prince, not to mention that Song Heng was still his person, so he naturally listed several benefits for giving the archway and elevated Song Heng's identity.

Yuan Xiang also agreed.

Only Song Heng was flustered, his mind was spinning quickly, thinking about how to shirk it.

was given the archway of chastity, and he can no longer marry a wife and concubine in this life!

But how could he be willing to give up his life and observe the festival for a dead man?

"Weichen's merits are thin, and he can't afford the reward of the archway!" Song Heng's tone was secretly anxious, and he hurriedly shirked it.

Cha Jiu smiled gently, but pressed step by step: "This archway is just a show of chastity, not a show of merit, how can Lord Song not afford it?" Or are you just pretending to be affectionate to your deceased wife, but you actually have a favorite successor? ”

Yuan Xiang frowned and looked over, as if he was also suspicious of Song Heng's reaction.

Earn a memorial arch rewarded by the emperor, this is a glorious lintel thing, not only good for the career, but also beneficial to the jade lady to see others in the future.

Why did the son-in-law hesitate?

The second prince was even more openly and secretly intimidating: "Lord Song, the emperor's reward for the archway is a supreme glory, do you still want to refuse?" ”

Song Heng was embarrassed to ride a tiger under the gaze of all kinds of suspicions, and he was sweating profusely.

He knew in his heart that he had no choice.

"Wechen...... Thank you for the grace of the emperor. Song Heng's silver teeth were crushed, and his heart was like a knife.

Shen Beizhan whispered to Cha Jiu: "I originally planned to find someone to kidnap Song Heng and throw him into the lake and drown, but I didn't expect you to be more ruthless than me." ”

What's so scary about being dead?

The most terrible thing is that it is the shackles that put down the eyes of the world, the archway of morality, on him, so that he will carry a heavy burden all his life and not be free.

At this time, a panicked palace maid walked quickly to the queen's side and whispered a few words.

The queen's face changed suddenly.
