Gongshang Confidante

"Minister...women don't dare." Su Muxue blushed in embarrassment. For some reason, she rejected the luxurious palace dress that Zhou Chiyu had prepared for her.

She promised Zhou Chiyu to go to the banquet, but she didn't want to appear in front of the harem concubines in that posture.

"Miss Su thinks she has forgotten her identity, but she still claims to be a minister", Yingxue mocked coldly, "I said before, I don't want to see Ying Zhaoyi in the palace", Zhou Chiyu said coldly, ignoring Yingxue's pale face She took Su Muxue to sit beside her, and said loudly, "The Su family has been deceived by treacherous words and has been punished. When Su Muxue was an official, Zuo Sijian was bestowed by the late emperor, and she and I are brothers and sisters. We should spend New Year's Eve together",

Xianxian Dowager nodded, glanced at Yingxue, and said calmly, "Since Ying Zhaoyi is unwell, Nanny Chen will send her back to the palace." "Your Majesty", Yingxue looked at her with teary eyes, but saw She turned a deaf ear and only talked with Su Muxue in a low voice.

Women in the world are all charming and charming, each with their own attitudes, but in Zhou Chiyu's heart, he always thinks of the day when he was looking for plums, the person who was walking in the heavy snow in the crimson official uniform.

Mu Xue arrived calmly and calmly.

The late emperor passed away, and the mourning period was three years. There was no silk and bamboo music in the Forbidden City. There was no wine during the banquet, and the meals were all light. But on a rare New Year’s Eve, the sages and concubines proposed to recite poems. If they were good, they would be rewarded. They were punished with tea instead of wine, and the concubines of the former emperors looked at the emperor with their eyes. Zhou Chiyu seemed to be in a good mood, and added three inlaid jade Ruyi as a prestige.

The jade ruyi inlaid with materials such as red sandalwood, enamel, gold and silver immediately opened the eyes of the hall, "I don't know what the emperor should choose", the sage dowager asked,

"Yongxue", Zhou Chiyu replied, the late emperor's concubines were all from a scholarly family, they all frowned for a while and pondered for a while, they must be the ones who got the top spot, but they never saw Su Muxue's blushing cheeks, and moved her position.

These former princesses and concubines all came from famous families and offered poems one after another. Only Su Muxue sat still, ignoring Zhou Chiyu's gaze, and just sat with her head bowed.

Zhou Chiyu glanced at Su Muxue several times, saw her bowed her head and said nothing, so she ordered Xianhui Concubine's poem and praised Yu Ruyi, "I have heard that Liu Xu, the daughter of the Su family, is talented and talented. Today, I am just lucky." Concubine Hui smiled and said,

"The empress is so beautiful, but the women of the people dare not." Su Muxue bowed her neck and humbled herself. It was rare to see her so docile and humble. Zhou Chiyu should have been happy, but deep down he was a little irritable.

"Why don't you dare to write poetry today?" After the banquet, Zhou Chiyu asked, Su Muxue looked up at the eaves, the snow-covered, dark sky, sprinkled with snow, her hands in her sleeves, silent, her eyes wide open With worries entangled in his heart, he said softly, "What kind of identity am I?

How can the minister's daughter compete with the empress in the palace for those things? ",

Zhou Chiyu was slightly surprised, but also a little angry, Su Muxue, what a proud person, when did she become like this, she looked deeply into Su Muxue's eyes, calm and calm, she waved her sleeves, put her back behind her, and said in a deep voice Said, "Since you accepted my invitation, I will give you a request in return",

Su Muxue hesitated, and said, "I want to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince", Zhou Chiyu was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes", "Come on, prepare a chariot for Miss Su to go to Xuming Hall",

"No need, just walk," Su Muxue refused. The chariot that Zhou Chiyu gave her was overmade. It was gold-plated and silver-plated, with a brown top nailed. It can be used by the daughter of a traitor, so she wore light makeup at the banquet and remained silent.

Although others saw the emperor's kindness to her, she didn't want to be like a harem woman who used to serve others to gain favor.

She didn't say anything, but Zhou Chiyu knew it in his heart. She shook Su Muxue's hand with a sincere expression, "You are Zuo Sijian appointed by the late emperor. Even if the dynasty changes, you will still be Zuo Sijian of Da Zhou. How about staying by my side to assist me?" ,

This person is too sensitive, Su Muxue sighed softly, succeeded Zuo Sijian, one, she could live up to the fame she had obtained through years of hard study, two, she might be able to protect the Su family in Mobei, three, the most important point, she could There is no need to separate from Zhou Chiyu.

The word separation is not easy for Su Muxue, the hatred that was once to the bone was washed away by the memories of the past, the gentle treatment of these days.

"Would you like me? Mu Xue, I can't bear you." Zhou Chiyu lowered his eyes, and there were water droplets on his eyelashes, which hung in the cold, holding Su Muxue's hand tightly and coldly.

Su Muxue's heart was in a mess, she raised her head in a daze, and looked at the person in front of her, the pictures of the past flashed before her eyes one after another, there were joy and sadness.

Before she could think too much, warm lips had already covered hers, cautiously, as if smashing a peerless treasure, but unwilling to let go, as if the thin wings of a butterfly were about to flutter as soon as they were spread out. fly.

After all, after all, she still couldn't bear it, Su Muxue's eyes were slightly red, she raised her hand to hold her face, and responded tremblingly...

Zhou Chiyu was pleasantly surprised, she wanted to step back and look at Su Muxue's face, but she held her face tightly with her hands, and said vaguely, "I answer you".

Now that I have fallen in love, I am willing to go beyond redemption.

The red candle flickered, and the heavy snow fell outside the window. Su Muxue leaned on the couch, frowned and finished drinking the medicine. Zhou Chiyu stuffed a piece of dried peach into her mouth, held her hand, and looked directly at Su Muxue, whose cheeks were stained. Xia, bright and dazzling.But Zhou Chiyu got up to leave, "Chi Yu", Su Muxue pulled the hem of her clothes, looked up at her, her face was dyed a thin blush, she was so radiant,

"You are not in good health yet, you need to rest and recuperate", Zhou Chiyu took her hand, kissed it on the lips, pulled the brocade quilt and covered it up, then...won't you stay?This sentence was held in Su Muxue's heart, and she didn't say it, but her eyes clearly revealed it,

"If I stay here, I won't be able to fall asleep," Zhou Chiyu smiled slyly, looking down from her neck, the collarbone under the loose shirt...

Su Muxue shrunk down, covered the quilt tightly, and blinked, making Zhou Chiyu shake his head amusedly, and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

Within two days, Shi Zhongyu, Yu Lian, Lin Huai from the Hanlin Academy and others had entered the palace by order, "I intend to redesignate Su Muxue as Zuo Sijian", Zhou Chiyu said, and all the officials were shocked. Zhou Chiyu turned his head to look at Julien. , seeing him clasping his hands together, bowing and standing aside, silent.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Chiyu frowned, "Julian, what do you think?" Julien lowered his head without raising his eyes, and said, "It is extremely inappropriate for Your Majesty to let Su Yunfeng join the Black Tiger Army." .If the Su family regains military power, how should His Majesty respond?",

All the ministers agreed, and Julien continued, "I have even heard that Su Muxue went to visit the second prince. If Su Muxue re-enters the court as an official, the court has power and the Su family has military power. Your Majesty is raising a tiger."

"Your Majesty, please think twice," several ministers said, obviously agreeing with Julien's point of view, "I can trust her! She must never betray me or Da Zhou!" Zhou Chiyu said, "There is no need to discuss this matter again, I just let her It's all for you to draw up an order."

Julien was a little anxious, and blurted out, "Your Majesty is so disregarded, but you just smiled for Bo's beauty?", Julien is such a shrewd person, he is the most thorough person who has come all the way from Zhou Chiyu and Su Muxue.

"Shut up!", Zhou Chiyu was displeased, "Your Majesty, haven't you heard how it is spread from inside to outside?" Julien said sharply, "It is said that the emperor doesn't love Erlang and Jiao'e, and the harem only favors the traitor. Daughter, the Great Zhou Dynasty is going to have no heirs, and the country is unstable!",

Hey, Zhou Chiyu shot the table, his eyes sharp like a sword, "Julian! You are so brave! How did you get the news from the palace? Could it be that there is also your eyeliner in my palace?!",

"I dare not," Julien knelt down and said, "I am the emperor with all my heart, and my loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon." Zhou Chiyu snorted coldly, "How can the daughter of a rebel minister be an official in the court? Please think twice, the emperor!" All the courtiers knelt down and confessed.

"Prime Minister Shi, what do you think?" Zhou Chiyu asked Shi Zhongyu, who had been silent all the time. Shi Zhongyu was an impartial and neutral faction during the time of the first emperor.

Shi Zhongyu groaned for a while, and said, "I have a strategy for both, I don't know if I should play it or not?", "Quite play!", Zhou Chiyu agreed, Shi Zhongyu is such a person who can't offend both sides.

In just a few days, there was an imperial decree to inherit the late emperor's last wish, entrusting Su Muxue to succeed Zuo Sijian as the sect's governor, to be in charge of satirical edicts and admonitions, and to rule and remonstrate with all court officials.

Su Muxue thanked her for receiving the decree, moved out from Yudian to the official residence, and stayed in the palace.

The Su family once made great contributions to saving the former emperor, but they were expelled from the capital because of treason, but the current emperor let the past go, and appointed the Su family's daughter as Zuo Sijian, which makes people think that the emperor is not a heartless and untrustworthy person, and his heart is also admirable.

For a while, it was all about the emperor's longing for his old love. Even the matter that the emperor carried Su's daughter to the clean room, it was also said that the emperor had a deep friendship with Su Muxue since he was a child. .

"Look at this official house, the things are old, and you don't know how to sleep?" Zhou Chiyu frowned, with his hands behind his back, looking at it with disgust,

Su Muxue smiled sweetly at her, and the newly put on crimson official uniform set off the bright clouds and moonlight on her face, and said slightly annoyed, "Then why are you here?" , Zhou Chiyu responded,

Yudian has the best food and clothing, but this simple place makes Su Muxue feel at ease. She doesn't want to be like a woman in the palace, just waiting for someone's pity.

Seeing Zhou Chiyu standing outside the door, Su Muxue called out, "Do you want to come in?" Zhou Chiyu glanced inside, Xia Ling had already brought people in, and the surroundings were tidied up, with nine-claw golden dragon pattern cushions and welcoming pillows, Zhou Chiyu Only then did he step up and walk in, and said, "There is no one to take care of me, call Tweety over to take care of her",
