Princess 1.8 meters

The big hooligan pinched Shen Zhi's earlobe, saw him holding a remnant flower, and showed a faint smile: "What are you doing holding a flower?"

Only then did Shen Zhi think of the flowers on his chest, leisurely picked off the ruined parts, and handed them to Jiang Heng: "Beg art festival, present a flower to my highness the princess. Well, my highness is really taller than flowers tender and beautiful."

Jiang Heng watched him silently for a while, and then lay down with his hands on his waist, eyes closed.

Shen Zhi smiled again, inserted the flower obliquely into Jiang Heng's hair, propped his chin and blinked.

The bright red flowers were a bit vulgar at first, but against the black hair, they looked glamorous and attractive.

Shen Zhi couldn't hold back and leaned over to kiss Jiang Heng, covered his eyes with green leaves, crossed his legs and hummed softly, extremely idle.

It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed.

Jiang Heng opened his eyes, and ignored the flowers that Shen Zhi inserted into his hair. Seeing that Shen Zhi covered his eyes with green leaves, only his straight nose and soft lips were exposed under the shadows. As if to tempt him, he stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick He licked his red lips.

Jiang Heng watched for a while, then leaned down to hold his lips, lingered for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Stay with me today."

The corner of Shen Zhi's lips curved: "What if I don't?"

Jiang Heng said: "Ah Jiu has a good rope."

Shen Zhi said: "Your Highness is willing to tie me up?"

"Reluctance." Jiang Heng said in a low voice, "But you can tie us together."

Shen Zhi's ears turned red, he pushed Jiang Heng, and coughed lightly: "Be serious. What were you doing just now?"

Jiang Heng didn't let go of him, but hugged him even tighter, saying: "Some news came from outside Beijing that Jiang Du was suppressing bandits in the Qilu area, and there was a lot of movement. It is rumored that he is recruiting soldiers, and the spies can't get in, so we haven't found out yet. .”

Not to mention Jiang Du, Shen Zhi almost forgot about him.Now Concubine Chang Gui was thrown into the cold palace, and Concubine Li was the one who entered the palace at the same time, had a higher status and had a prince under her knees.

Speaking of which, the emperor has been relying on Concubine Li to prolong his life all these years, Concubine Li... so what is going on?

Shen Zhi pondered for a while, then heard Jiang Heng say: "Do you want to know who was in the study just now?"

Shen Zhi looked at him suspiciously: "It can't possibly be His Highness's golden house."

Jiang Heng said: "I only hide you." After a pause, he said, "It's my uncle."

General Duwin.

Shen Zhixin said that luckily he didn't listen to Ah Jiu's intrusion, otherwise, apart from His Royal Highness, he would have to bear the pressure from General Du again.

But Jiang Heng said indifferently: "I told him about you before."

Shen Zhi raised his head in astonishment.

Jiang Heng saw his eyes widen, and his mood became more cheerful: "He is very curious about you."

In the past, I only knew that Du Wen was brave and good at fighting. When he was guarding the border, he was once a nightmare for the herdsmen. Rumors said that he was like a devil and a ghost, saying that he was murderous, cruel and ruthless.

When he was guarding the border, the shepherds were a little timid in doing things, but the time before last year, he colluded with the lieutenant next to Du Wen, thinking that he was sure and success was imminent, but he didn't want to be treated as a pawn instead.

The girl who went to get married for "Princess Hanning" was not used to the grassland weather. After she died of illness, the herdsmen turned their backs and attacked the border of Chengcang. The original marriage agreement became a joke.

As a result, another lieutenant handed down by Du Wen, now the general guarding the border has been defeated, and he dared not attack again, only dared to harass and plunder from time to time as before.

It can be seen from this... General Du is really a powerful person.

However, rumors are rumors after all, no matter how fierce the description in the rumors is, Shen Zhi still believes in what he saw with his own eyes.He once saw Du Wen from afar when Du Wen was being escorted back to Beijing, and he felt that he had a calm demeanor, not like some kind of killer who killed people with a knife if he didn't agree with one word.

But the matter involving Jiang Heng... maybe General Du will not be able to stand any excitement, and he will be more excited.

Shen Zhi asked in a low voice: "General Du... what kind of person is he?"

Jiang Heng said: "Call him uncle with me. Uncle... just like you and me."

Shen Zhi felt as if he heard it wrong: "...what?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "The person he likes is now guarding the border."

"..." Shen Zhi didn't expect Du Wen to be like them, he was stunned for a while, and just about to ask more, he heard the sound of steady footsteps behind him.

Then came the man's deep voice: "I disappeared in a blink of an eye, so I ran here to be lazy."

Someone has come, and I can no longer lie idle like this.

Shen Zhi and Jiang Heng got up quickly, Shen Zhi guessed who was behind him, secretly said "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here", thinking about turning around.Standing behind him was a man in black. He looked only [-] years old, with a calm and elegant demeanor. His appearance was three points similar to Jiang Heng's, and he looked more like a brother.

He bent his lips, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen General Du."

Du Wen nodded, not hiding his inquisitive look, his deep eyes were fixed on Shen Zhi, and he sized him up carefully.

When the Du family had an accident, Du Wen escaped alone. Jiang Heng was his last living relative, and Shen Zhi could understand its important position, so he collected himself, smiled slightly, and let Du Wen look at him.

Jiang Heng slowly took Shen Zhi's hand, and said, "Uncle."

Du Wen withdrew his gaze, nodded and said, "Not bad."

Jiang Heng picked up some broken branches and leaves that fell between Shen Zhi's hair, and raised his head and asked, "Not bad?"

Shen Zhi coughed lightly, telling Jiang Heng not to speak.

He has a thick skin, and he can listen to people's flattery and praise without changing his face, but with Du Wen's status, he is a little embarrassed when he speaks well.

Du Wen's face was gentle: "It looks like a gentle and pure child. Since you brought him to this road, treat him well."

Shen Zhi felt a little hot on his face, and began to reflect on why he was so stupid for not avoiding it earlier.After reflecting for a while, he regained his composure and smiled at Du Wen: "Thank you... Uncle."

Du Wen was stunned for a moment, and there was a smile on his face. He nodded, but stopped talking, exchanged a glance with Jiang Heng, and left.

Originally, he came here just to see Shen Zhi, and since he saw it and was satisfied, he should leave to give him some space.

When the people left, Shen Zhi was relieved. Jiang Heng led him into the house, with a calm tone: "Don't worry, uncle is very kind. When he entered the palace when he was young, he played with me and Aying very patiently. .”

Shen Zhi said: "I'm just afraid that if I call that uncle, General Du will draw his sword and face him."

The corners of Jiang Heng's eyes slightly curved, and he said with a smile: "Brother said you called him big brother last time, and this time you called him uncle after me. Jinghe, when the dust settles, let's get married."

marriage……

Get married.

Shen Zhi pondered in his heart for a while, tried his best to suppress his wandering thoughts, and said with a smile, "Okay."

The day passed leisurely, and when night fell, the weather was not so hot, and the night wind was blowing slowly, which was quite cool.

Shen Zhi and Jiang Heng changed their robes together, and went out in unremarkable ordinary clothes, Ah Jiu got leave during the day to see Shen Xiuxiu, only Liu Yu came out with him.

The Qiqiao Festival will be extremely lively in the capital. The curfew was lifted last month because of the big case of Chang's family. The long street is full of young men and women. Shen Zhi and Jiang Heng walked into the crowd like this, but it was not too conspicuous.

Rubbing shoulders on the long street, Jiang Heng turned his head to look at Shen Zhi who was looking around with a smile, and secretly stretched out his hand to hold him.Shen Zhi paused, held back his hands, turned his head and rolled his eyes, smiling nicely.

Jiang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Back then when Shen Zhi was his reading companion, the two seemed to disagree on the surface, but actually there seemed to be a kind of tacit understanding, they cared about each other, they refused to speak, and they couldn't speak.

That night was also Qixi Festival, he and Shen Zhi sneaked out of the palace, Shen Zhi was afraid that he would get lost, so he took his hand and looked back at him from time to time, when the lights shone, his beautiful and smiling profile was like jade, All of his thoughts were taken away at once.

At that time, he only dared to hide his thoughts, but now... the person is already his.

Jiang Heng's heart was soft, and he let Shen Zhi lead him around on the long street.

Shen Zhi didn't put his mind on this lively Qixi Festival, he squinted his eyes and couldn't help thinking about the past.

In the past... He didn't remember much, but he vaguely remembered that they sneaked out of the palace and were assassinated while wandering on the long street.Both of them were half-baked in martial arts at that time, and Jiang Heng actually let him run first in an emergency.

The little prince, who was usually arrogant and disrespectful, actually opened his mouth like this, Shen Zhi smiled, and as he said... ran away.

But he led the assassins away.

When Jiang Heng found him, he was crying, sobbing and out of breath.At that time, he was injured, so he could only half hug Jiang Heng, seeing him crying so much, he thought that this child really can't do it alone, what will happen if no one protects him in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi suddenly pulled Jiang Heng's sleeve.

Jiang Heng looked at him sideways, and by the way, inserted the carved wooden hairpin he picked up at a stall just now into his hair.Shen Zhi stretched out his hand to caress the hairpin, and said in a low voice: "Xunyu, do you still remember the time when we were hunted down by assassins?"

There was noise all around, his voice was so low that he could hardly be heard, Jiang Heng moved closer to him, protecting him intentionally or unintentionally, fending off the people who pushed over, and said in the same volume: "Well, it's from Concubine Chang."

"It's not about that." Shen Zhi smiled narrowly, "I still remember you holding my waist and crying out of breath."

Jiang Heng said: "..."

Shen Zhi stretched out his hand to compare with his chest, and sighed: "You just came to my chest at that time, a small one carved in powder and jade, so pretty. How have you grown in the past few years, you are taller than me all of a sudden It's..."

While talking, the two squeezed out of the crowd, walked to the river, and walked down the river. The number of people gradually decreased and they became quiet.Liu Yu followed far behind, looking around vigilantly.

After Shen Zhi finished making gestures, the corners of his lips still had a smile, he said: "You are still cute as before, you can laugh and make trouble."

Jiang Heng was speechless for a moment, then said: "Being taller than you is naturally to protect you."

Shen Zhi cast a glance at him: "It's outside, if someone hears you say this...huh?"

He bumped into something under his feet, looked down, and saw a child hugging his leg, looking up at him, eyes full of curiosity, but not afraid.

Shen Zhi said: "Look, I'll just say it."

As he spoke, he bent down, stroked the child's hair, and asked softly, "Why are you here alone? Lost with your parents?"

The child didn't cry or fuss, nodded, and spoke in a soft and cute voice: "Big brother...you look good."

Shen Zhi smiled: "Isn't the brother next to him also pretty?"

The child turned his head to look at Jiang Heng for a while, feeling a little scared, he squeezed closer to Shen Zhi's side, and said in a small voice, "Isn't that big sister..."

Shen Zhi burst out laughing, poked Jiang Heng happily, "Big sister?"

Jiang Heng looked at the child silently: "..."

He is not a man and a woman, but he is neutral, and he has inherited his mother's gorgeous face. Under the cover of night, people will indeed mistake him for a girl.

Shen Zhi smiled to himself for a while, leaned over and picked up the child, and said, "Where did you get separated from your parents?"

The child pointed to the direction of the crowd, where many people were setting off sky lanterns.Shen Zhi hugged him and walked over there, Jiang Heng followed silently, and said, "Let me hug him."

Shen Zhi knew that he was afraid that he would be tired, so he teased the child a few words, turned his head and smiled: "I'm not weak."

The child blinked his big eyes, looked at Shen Zhi, then at Jiang Heng, with doubts in his eyes: "Big brother and brother look like parents."

Shen Zhi was surprised: "Like?"

The child smashed and smashed his mouth, he couldn't speak clearly, he muttered and didn't know what he was talking about.Shen Zhi hugged him and approached the crowd, a young couple ran up to meet him, saw the child, and quickly called his name.When the child heard the voice, he turned around and called out to his parents with a smile.

Shen Zhi was about to hand him over, when the child suddenly leaned over and kissed him, smiled brightly and said "Thank you big brother", before walking back to his parents.

The young couple thanked them again and again, and gave Shen Zhi a Kongming lantern, saying it was a thank you gift.Shen Zhi held the Kongming lantern, touched the cheek he was kissing, and was full of smiles.

Turning to look at Jiang Heng, only to find that he seemed a little depressed.

Shen Zhi pondered for a while, then said in surprise: "My lord, you don't even eat a child's jealousy, do you?"

Jiang Heng looked at him expressionlessly, looked left and right, saw that everyone's attention was on the Kongming lanterns, pressed Shen Zhi into his arms, kissed him on the lips, and left a smack on his cheek. A series of small kisses, and whispered: "Children are not allowed."

Shen Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you arguing with a child?"

Jiang Heng pursed his lips: "You didn't even look at me a few times during the journey."

Shen Zhi was overjoyed, pinched his face, and said softly "I was wrong, just smile", unexpectedly Jiang Heng actually smiled.He picked up the Kongming lantern and said, "It's just right, let's go and put the lanterns on."

Jiang Heng nodded, Liu Yu seemed to know what they were doing, and suddenly came over and handed the fire folder, and then walked aside, watching them not far or close.

Shen Zhi lit the lamp, let go of his hand, and watched the Kongming lantern light up with a bright yellow light and slowly rise into the sky.He closed his eyes and didn't know what to wish. He really had a lot to worry about, but he couldn't be greedy.

After thinking about it, he saw Jiang Heng who was also closing his eyes beside him, and he closed his eyes again, thinking, I hope every year has today, and every year has today.

In the coming year, if Jiang Heng can accompany him to put the lanterns on, that would be...it would be great.

Under the black night, countless bright or dark Kongming lanterns float up like dandelions that are suddenly blown away, lighting up inch by inch under the night, as beautiful as fireflies.

Looking up, he was really dazzled, as if he had also flown into the sky.

Shen Zhi clenched Jiang Heng's hand, leaned close to his ear, and said softly: "Jiang Heng, I really like you."

Jiang Heng had a rare gentle expression, looked at him deeply, and said, "Me too."

***

After Qixi Festival, it is still a busy day.

Shen Zhi tiptoed back to the mansion early in the morning, almost jumped back in fright from the guarding Shen Dashangshu.

Shen, who was not home at night, bowed his head and listened to the training for a while, then coughed lightly, reminding his father that it would be late to say anything, so he escaped by luck.

The household department is now empty again, and not many officials have been filled in.It seems that the Holy Majesty has no intention of promoting anyone to enter the household department for the time being. Everyone can only work silently, hoping that the Holy Majesty will show his noble hand and let some people in.

Shen Zhi was busy for several days, and he was a little dizzy when he went to court.Looking up, Jiang Zhou was gone, and I don't know if he asked to accompany Concubine Chang in the cold palace.Now Jiang Wu and Jiang Heng were standing in front of them, both of them acted as if they had nothing to do with themselves and refused to be thousands of miles away, and no one dared to go up and talk to them.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, even Jiang Zhou, who was loved by the past and seemed to let Jiang Wu get out of the East Palace at any time and replace him, was completely ignored. Jiang Heng seemed to be the celebrity in front of His Majesty, but who I know if there will be another problem someday.

Shen Zhi has good hearing, and heard a few officials whispering that the Holy Lord intended Du Wen to take up the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. If Du Wen really took the position, then Jiang Heng would be like a tiger with wings added, and how much more confident he would be. point.

The crown prince is weak, King An is out of favor, King Jin is out of favor, and now only King Zhao has the possibility...

They didn't dare to say too much, couldn't hold back a few whispers, then coughed lightly and started gossiping.

Shen Zhi looked at the front with a smile, and thought, this position belonged to Jiang Heng, and now he just wanted to get back what belonged to him, so how could he be contested.

While thinking, the emperor also came up.Now it is July, with floods in the south and drought in the north, and disasters everywhere. The ministers handed over the papers and discussed for a long time before deciding on the imperial envoy to go to the disaster relief.

After discussing the matter, the emperor coughed and said: "Now, the five-army governor's mansion is empty of generals, like a pile of loose sand. After thinking for a long time, I only selected one who is suitable for this great job."

Everyone pricked up their ears.

"... General Du Wendu has always been resourceful, brave and good at fighting. Only Du Qing can take on the post of commander-in-chief of the five armies."

The ministers seconded the proposal one after another and praised His Majesty for his wisdom.

Naturally, there is no difference - not to mention the generals.

This time the Chang family was cleaned up, and even the heads of several important figures in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were beheaded, and many other generals who were involved with Chang Ke were also dragged out of the hall one by one.

Naturally, there are civil servants, but there are many fewer.

This decision was not made by His Majesty Jiang Heng, it was made by His Majesty raising his eyelids and moving his mouth, so now everyone is walking on thin ice, fearing that if they are not careful, they will be dragged down and beaten to death in the hall, waiting for a day The family is just waiting for a body.

Having said that, not only the Ministry of Household Affairs, but also the entire imperial court was vacated because of Chang Ke, and it also gave many opportunities for Jinshi who were waiting to work.

The meeting ended after a while, Shen Zhi was about to go back with his colleagues when he was stopped by a servant.

He thumped in his heart, wondering whether His Majesty thought he was pleasing to the eye or not.

What more?The nonsense I said last time, I won't say it again this time, right?Your Majesty is not so free, is he?

Shen Zhi murmured in his heart, walking in the palace with the little servant, when passing a corridor, he suddenly saw Jiang Zhou.

He was sitting by a pond blankly, looking at the lotus blooming in the pond, as if he would jump into it at any time.His eyes were red, he looked like he had just cried, and there was also a palm print on his cheek, which was especially obvious because of his fair complexion, as if stained with blood.

Shen Zhi couldn't help but stop, and when he took a closer look, he found that there were some nail scratches on it, most likely it was hit by a woman.

There are many women in the palace, but there are not many who have the courage to beat Jiang Zhou.After all, even if Jiang Zhou fell out of favor, he was still a prince, and they didn't have the courage.

It must be Concubine Chang.

Shen Zhi thought to himself.

Concubine Chang Gui has always acted recklessly, arrogant and arrogant, suddenly fell directly from the clouds into the mud, she must feel very uncomfortable.

Jiang Zhou is naive, probably he said something inadvertently, which irritated Concubine Chang Gui.

Concubine Chang deserved it, but Jiang Zhou...

Maybe it was because he took a second look, and the little servant also looked over. When he saw Jiang Zhou, he was startled for a moment, then shook his head. Obviously, he had seen such a situation more than once.

Jiang Zhou seemed to have sensed it, and turned his head to look over. His hair was still a little messy, sticking to his cheeks, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing Shen Zhi, he was stunned for a moment, subconsciously covered his face that was slapped, stood up from the ground, obviously wanted to come over and say something, then stopped in his tracks.

In the end, he just smiled at Shen Zhi with tears in his eyes.

It's not as bright as before, it seems to be stained with dust, it's better not to smile.

Shen Zhi had a lump in his throat for a moment, and then he heard the servant say: "Lord Shen, let's go quickly, Your Majesty is still waiting for you."

Shen Zhi came back to his senses, nodded, and nodded imperceptibly to Jiang Zhou, followed by the little servant to quicken his pace.

When they arrived at the Maoqin Hall, the servant didn't follow, Shen Zhi went in by himself, only to see that besides him, there were two other people there.

It was Jiang Heng and Du Wen.

Shen Zhi was full of doubts, he saluted respectfully, lowered his head and waited for the emperor to speak.

The emperor coughed heavily, took a sip of hot tea, and then said: "Lord Shen, do you know that the herdsmen have been intruding a lot recently."

Shen Zhi blinked, he didn't know what the emperor asked him for, so he answered in a low voice.

The emperor said again: "I sent King Zhao to the border."

Shen Zhi was startled, tried his best to keep calm, still bowed his head in silence.

Could it be... Jiang Heng is leaving again?

His mind was full of this, and he finally calmed down a little. The emperor said again: "King Zhao begged me to allow you to join the army. I asked you to come because I wanted to hear if you would like it. After all, the battlefield is unpredictable, and life and death only depend on the Between the line. Master Shen, are you willing?"

Shen Zhi moved his lips, and secretly glanced at Jiang Heng, only to realize that the latter had been looking at him with calm eyes.

He thought of the last time, before Jiang Heng left for the expedition, he told him that he would never be separated again after returning.

Just silent for a few breaths, Shen Zhi saluted again, and solemnly said: "I am willing."
