They all say I'm a puppet

Anyway, the host of this wedding banquet was Chen Yuan, so Fu Yu just sat for a while at the beginning of the banquet, and then found an excuse to leave, so as not to sit there reluctantly, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

Fu Yu went out from the side door, and heard the hustle and bustle of the hall behind him from a distance, and felt a little lonely from the bottom of his heart. He slightly lowered his eyes, and said to Cang Lin who had been following behind him: " Let's go, let's go back to Changle Palace."

Cang Lin didn't respond, but Fu Yu turned around and found that he was looking at the direction next to him thoughtfully, and couldn't help but also looked over, only to find that there was a side hall, a certain idea rose from the bottom of his heart, Fu Yu I looked around and found that no one was paying attention to me, so I couldn't help lowering my voice, and whispered: "Cang Lin, you said that if I sneak in to see my aunt, no one will notice, right?"

Cang Lin's eyes fell on his face, and after a long time, he nodded lightly: "I'll help you guard the door."

Fu Yu bent his lips, patted Cang Lin's arm happily, and turned his head towards the side hall.

Since that day in Changxin Palace, Fu Yu never had the chance to see Fu Zhi again.To be precise, he and Chen Yuan only met a few times in the morning.Fu Zhi didn't want to see him, and he didn't dare to ask Chen Yuan to see Fu Zhi. In fact, even if he did, he didn't know what he was going to say.

But on a day like today, since he had a rare chance, he couldn't help but want to go and see Fu Zhi, wondering if she was well.

The side hall was quiet, I don't know if everyone went to the Martial Ying Hall to share Chen Yuan's joy, or someone deliberately ordered Fu Yu to enter the inner hall without seeing a single person.Fu Zhi was sitting on the couch, covering her face with a veil, so that no one could know her mood at the moment.

Fu Yu glanced at her, coughed lightly to signal his presence: "Nephew has seen the imperial aunt."

Fu Zhi's voice came from under the hijab, with obvious surprise: "Emperor? Why are you here now?"

"It's not good for my nephew to stay longer at the banquet. I'm going back to Changle Palace. I passed by this side hall and wanted to see my aunt." Fu Yu stood in front of Fu Zhi, with some hesitation in her eyes, "I wonder how my aunt is doing?"

"The emperor is concerned." Fu Zhi replied lightly, "I am well. But the emperor, I heard that Chen Yuan invited the young master of Master Su's family to be your husband. I have met this person several times in the past few years. Quite talented, the emperor still needs to be good at learning from Mr. Su."

"My nephew understands, so naturally I won't disappoint my aunt." Fu Yu responded, raised her head to look at Fu Zhi, but didn't know what else to say. Over the years, he actually didn't have any experience of communicating with elders. For Fu Zhi Although he was worried, but when he really faced Fu Zhi, he didn't know what to say.

The hall fell into a brief silence, and finally Fu Zhi broke the silence: "If there is nothing else, the emperor should go back first, after all, the emperor's appearance here today is not in line with etiquette, if it falls into the eyes of someone with a heart, it will inevitably cause trouble." .As for the emperor's wish, I accept it."

Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Then, then I won't bother my aunt." As she spoke, she didn't care whether Fu Zhi could see her or not, so she nodded to her, turned her back and was about to leave when she heard the voice behind her. Fu Zhi's voice came, "The emperor is not too young. After a while, when I have free time in the palace, it is better to choose a few worry-free people from the courtiers and relatives and send them to the palace than to wait for me. After the palace is moved out, only the emperor is left in this huge imperial city."

Fu Yu was at a loss, turned her head to look at Fu Zhi, but saw the other party waved her hand again: "I have my own opinion on this matter, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about it."

Fu Yu couldn't say anything more, so she could only say, "Please trouble my aunt."

Coming out of the side hall, Fu Yu let out a long sigh of relief. When he looked up, he saw Cang Lin standing with his back facing him at the entrance of the hall. Even the ugliest servant's robes could not cover up his handsomeness, Fu Yu couldn't help but stare blankly for a few more times.

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but he always feels that this Cang Lin seems to have undergone a lot of changes in the past few months, his face seems to be a little more firm, his figure is no longer as thin as before, and even his stature seems to be smaller. It's a little longer.Fu Yu couldn't help taking a few steps closer, stretched out his hand to compare, and confirmed that Cang Lin's stature seemed to be really tall, but he was relieved because he was taller.

Cang Lin had heard the voice behind him a long time ago, even though Fu Yu had deliberately slowed down his steps, he couldn't hide it from himself who was now more vigilant and keen.He could hear the footsteps, and he could tell who it belonged to, so he stood there as if he didn't notice it, until the familiar hand gently patted his shoulder, then turned his face and raised his eyebrows slightly: " alright?"

Cang Lin nodded to him, eyebrows and eyes curved: "En."

Cang Lin carefully scanned his expression, and after making sure that his emotions were the same, he turned around again: "Then let's go back, it's always bad if we run into someone if we delay for a while."

Fu Yu took it for granted, and held up the hem of the cumbersome clothes, trying to follow in Cang Lin's footsteps.Cang Lin glimpsed his movements from the corner of his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but the pace under his feet slowed down a little intentionally or unintentionally.

It was the season of spring, and the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, which had been decaying for a whole winter, finally regained their vitality, adding a bit of business to this desolate imperial city.Fu Yu, who was passing by, slowed down subconsciously, looked around, and a smile appeared on his face.

Cang Lin noticed that the person behind him didn't keep up, so he slowed down his pace, turned his head and saw that Fu Yu had stopped, squatting in front of a flower whose name he didn't know, and sniffed it lightly.

Fu Yu's movements were extra cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything, and his eyes were also closed with a slight sniffing movement, as if he and this flower were the only ones in the huge imperial garden.

Cang Lin's originally frowned brows unknowingly eased, and the expression on his face also became gentle. He looked around, they were already some distance away from the Hall of Martial Heroes, even if they were discovered that they hadn't returned to Changle Palace, it shouldn't be a big problem.Thinking of this, Cang Lin simply gave up the idea of ​​calling Fuyu, and let him squat there, studying flower by flower.

This person always seems to be like this, there may be many things that bother him, but there are more things that will attract his attention, make him feel joyful, and make him never feel hopeless.

Cang Lin stared at his back for a while, and suddenly felt that it would be good to be a person like Fu Yu. With Fu Yu's background, if it wasn't for his personality, he might not have lost it long ago. The belief in living has been completely reduced to a puppet at the mercy of others, that is probably what Chen Yuan wished for.

Since the two have been together day and night for a few months, Cang Lin has fully understood Fu Yu's temper, and even unconsciously, he couldn't help but be influenced by this person, and even the smile on his face is more than before. Not a lot.

Cang Lin looked at Fu Yu's back, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Although this man was not a good emperor, and even though he was actually a bit weak and couldn't get rid of the predicament in front of him, he was still a trustworthy and good man. , living as wanton as possible, that’s pretty good, Cang Lin thought, as for their predicament, he can get rid of it by himself.

Before he met Fuyu, he never thought about how a normal person should live in the future. At first, he just wanted to live, to save his own life, so that he would no longer be bullied by others.Later, he wanted to become stronger, to return all the humiliation he had suffered, to get rid of all the confinement, and to live frankly and freely.

But he never knew how to live frankly. It wasn't until these days when he got along with Fuyu that he gradually had a new idea. He would protect Fuyu, take care of Cheng Zhong with him, and then Take them out of the imperial city, to a place where no one knows them, and live like a family.

Yes, a family, something he had never had before, nor could he have imagined.

"Cang Lin?" Fu Yu suddenly interrupted Cang Lin's thinking, Cang Lin raised his eyes and looked at him slightly surprised, "Why?"

Fu Yu felt a little embarrassed because he had been delayed for so long: "Let's go back."

Cang Lin glanced at the place where he was just now: "Do you want me to help you pick some flowers back? I see some empty vases in the hall, just put them in front of your desk, where you practice calligraphy Sometimes I can just look up and see it.”

Fuyu was a little moved, but she turned her head and glanced at the flowers, and finally shook her head: "Forget it, they will wither in a few days after picking them back, just let them follow the law of nature here, and the flowers will bloom and fade." It's natural."

Cang Lin didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he nodded after careful consideration: "That's true, what if Mr. Su sees you pick it up and asks you to compose a poem about the flower in front of you on a whim, will you No, I'm asking for trouble."

Fu Yu frowned, turned to look at Cang Lin, but saw a faint smile on the man's lips, and then realized that he was deliberately talking like this to squeeze her, stared at Cang Lin for a while, and finally didn't Resisting it, he also laughed: "I am the king of a country, so what if I ask you to write a poem for me! Do you think I can't write it? I just gave you a chance to let Mr. Su comment on it." Your poetry!"

Cang Lin turned his head and glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "That's good, when Mr. Su comes over tomorrow, I will propose that His Majesty write a poem, so that Mr. Su can see His Majesty's true level."

Fu Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Cang Lin's arm: "Okay, I was just joking, um, Mr. Su is so busy, so don't bother him with such trivial things." He raised his head He pretended to look at the sky, "It's getting late, we, let's go back to the palace."

Cang Lin looked at him pretending to be calm, but felt that he was in a good mood, and finally couldn't hold back and reached out to pat Fu Yu's head: "Okay, then let's go back to the palace."

Fu Yu subconsciously raised her hand and touched the top of her head, and looked at Cang Lin in disbelief, hesitated again and again but couldn't hold back: "Cang Lin, is it a bit hard for you to hit my head with your feet?"

The smile on Cang Lin's face froze, he turned his head and glared at Fu Yu: "I don't have a footstep! And Uncle Zhong also said that I have grown taller recently!"

Fu Yu stretched out his right hand, and compared a small distance between his thumb and index finger: "It's grown taller. I just measured it, and it's only a little bit at most." He separated the distance between the two fingers to the maximum limit, "I'm still so much taller than you."

Cang Lin looked at his right hand, the expression on his face remained still for a while, then turned around calmly: "I'd better go find Mr. Su." He said and walked forward quickly.

Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put his right hand behind his back, and hurriedly followed Cang Lin's footsteps: "Cang Lin, Cang Lin, wait for me, I'm talking nonsense, you have grown taller, um, wait When you are my age, maybe you are really taller than me!"

Cang Lin turned his head and glanced at Fu Yu, with a smile on his mouth, but his feet were a little faster, and then he heard the person behind him complaining softly, and the smile on his face grew a little more.Fu Yu complained a few times in a low voice but found that the man was walking faster and faster, so she simply lifted up the hem of her clothes and ran towards the figure in front.

The sound of two teenagers chasing and frolicking echoed in the empty imperial garden.
