Gongshang Confidante

Thousands of words turned into a soft call, "Chi Yu", as soon as Zhou Chiyu finished speaking, Zhou Chiyu was surrounded by a mass of warmth, "I'm a little cold", Su Muxue said in a low voice, taking her into her arms, carefully as if holding treasures.

With his hands hanging by his side, Zhou Chiyu's eyes were blank, his chin rested on her shoulder, the fragrance invaded, and the tip of his nose just touched her neck, delicate and smooth.

The warm hug dispelled the chill, especially the softness against his chest made Zhou Chiyu's ears burn.

The night is clear, the moon is shining lightly, and Zhou Chiyu's heart is soaked in deep affection, moist and heavy.

Royal Garden

The grass and trees will come back shortly after they know the spring, all kinds of red and purple are fighting against the fragrance, the octagonal gazebo, a purple shirt woman, burning incense and playing the piano, in front of her eyes is the beautiful scenery of spring forest and flowers, but what she thinks about is the war in Mobei.

"Zhaoning!", shouted abruptly, interrupting the melodious piano sound, Zhou Yue stood behind, standing proudly, with a stern tone, "Qin Shu, didn't I tell you not to be disturbed by others?" Zhou Chiyu reprimanded displeased Said, "Princess forgive me, yes, yes", Qin Shu hurriedly knelt down on the ground,

Zhou Yue's face was impatient, and he said, "Is there a place in this palace that this king can't go to?", "Why does the emperor come here again and again to find trouble?" Zhou Chiyu looked worried and asked directly,

"Brother Huang presents this lotus to you," Zhou Yue said with a half-smile, and the little eunuch knelt down on the ground holding a vermilion box in his hand, "Zhao Ning dare not take it," Zhou Chiyu didn't want to answer, turned around and asked Walk.

Zhou Yue stretched out his arms, stopped in front of her, and snorted coldly, "Zhao Ning is happy, this lotus is a congratulatory gift for the emperor, how can I not accept it?" Zhou Chiyu said nothing, and moved with lotus steps.

Zhou Yue was not annoyed, and said behind his back, "I received an urgent report from Mobei in the court today." Zhou Chiyu paused, and Zhou Yue showed a complacent expression on his face, and continued, "It is said in the letter that the second prince of the Guhe clan Died of a sudden illness, Shanyu fell ill in grief, and the great prince Yi Muhe succeeded Shanyu",

"The Zhou Dynasty only sent people to communicate with Yi Muhe a few times, which really aroused suspicion. The result must have been planned by Na Yi Muhe. Highly praised, I decree to reward you heavily."

Zhou Chiyu breathed out lightly, in this way, the war in Mobei can be solved.

"Of course, the congratulations from the emperor's brother are not for this matter." Zhou Yue's smile became stronger and his eyes became colder. He looked at the thousand-fold cold golden lotus in the box and said, "The lotus flower feast is a wedding. I heard that Yi Mu Hexiu wrote a letter to his father, saying that he would like to quell the war between the two countries through peace."

Zhou Chiyu's face darkened, "Mobei is remote and desolate, my father loves my sister so much, I just heard that my father went to Kunning Palace after the court, and my mother gave some advice, which made my father's face pale when he left the palace." Unexpectedly, I have a lot of things on my mind, I want to come... ",

"Father and emperor are benevolent, it is only time to exchange the suffering of one person for the blessing of all people..." Zhou Chiyu continued his words,

"That's why the emperor came here to congratulate Zhaoning." Zhou Yue raised the corner of his mouth, shook his head pretendingly, and sighed, "It's only because Zhaoning is too popular, which makes the empress jealous. This move just eliminates her troubles." ,

Zhou Chiyu turned around, looked directly at Zhou Yue, and said in a harsh tone, "Although you have the military exploits of Western Shu, don't forget that the emperor brother is the same as Zhaoning. His mother and concubine are dead, and he is also alone in the battle in the palace."

"You!" Zhou Yue's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he walked away angrily.

Zhou Chiyu stood still, looking at the branch not far away, when a gust of wind blew by, the poppies on the branch trembled, drifted down and fell into the mud.

Even though there are thousands of charms and charms, the evil wind will fall down from the branches and turn into mud.

"Mobei is barren, the body of a princess who is a daughter of gold, how can she suffer so much?" Qin Shu burst into tears immediately, "Holy will is unpredictable, everything has variables, Qin Shu, don't cry", Lu Ling persuaded, worried She looked at Zhou Chiyu intently, but saw her pupils flicker, and anger was faintly visible.

Zhou Chiyu went straight to Chengde Palace, she wanted to ask her father to verify this matter.

The Chengde Hall is the place where the emperor discusses affairs, and no one is allowed to trespass, but Emperor Jing Hong granted Zhou Chiyu an amnesty and allowed her to come and go freely.

"Yu'er is the love of my heart, and I also don't want to part with Yu'er, but the world's major events, how can it be because of my own selfishness..." "Father, Gu He rebelled and provoked. The Zhou Dynasty suppressed Gu He for ten years. Now , the incompetent can only rely on marriage to protect the people of the world?",

"Shut up! I have my own plan! You go out first!",

Zhou Chiyu walked out of Chengde Hall in a daze. His father was clutching his chest and coughing violently. His pale, blushing face flashed in front of his eyes. Years of illness made his body go from bad to worse, and his inner strength was hollowed out. turbid.

The disease had already destroyed Emperor Jing Hong's will.

Huagong Temple, blue tiles and white walls, in the late spring when the flowers are in full bloom, except for the evergreen trees, there is no fragrance in the palace. It is as quiet as a sinking pool in an ancient temple, and the wind and frost remain in the rocks.

Zhou Chiyu asked the court ladies to wait outside, gently pushed the door open, and on the desk, there were piles of files, with black hair and white clothes, writing with a pen.

"The child kowtowed to the emperor's grandmother", Zhou Chiyu knelt down on the ground, bowed respectfully, "Chao'er, you haven't been here for a long time, get up", Duan Ruohua raised his eyes, his face in the mirror, his plain clothes were cold, his thin lips were cool, The moonlight in the eyes is cold and fragrant.

"Mobei Guhe begged his father and relatives to quell the war and chaos, and asked the emperor's grandmother to make the decision for Chao'er." Zhou Chiyu refused to get up, but just said, Duan Ruohua put the pen on the Bijia Mountain, held his sleeves and studied the ink, and said leisurely , "In recent years, the emperor no longer wants to ask me more about the affairs of the court",

Zhou Chiyu seemed to have expected it, and said, "People often say that everything is fate, and you can't help it at all, but Aunt Qing told Chao'er that my fate is up to me, I don't know the emperor's grandmother, can you believe this fate?",

Duan Ruohua's hands trembled slightly, and a bit of thick ink fell on the paper. He said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. It's up to you to decide." Grandma still has to choose to live alone in the palace for the rest of her life.”

Duan Ruohua raised his eyes, his temples were stained with a little frost, his face was like this, his eyes were like autumn pools, the still water flowed deep, and the vicissitudes of singing, "I will not interfere with the affairs of the court, you just go down."

How do you understand the joys and sorrows of a day, and bear the burden of the world, in exchange for the next meeting.

Zhou Chiyu pondered for a long time, kowtowed three times respectfully to Duan Ruohua, and said resolutely, "I will keep in mind the teachings of Chao'er to Grandmother and Aunt Qing. Chao'er's life must be in my own hands."

Duan Ruohua sighed softly, and walked up to Zhou Chiyu from the front of the case, wearing plain clothes and skirts, "Do you remember that when you played chess in the past, Ben Gong said that your chess skills are aggressive, and both sides will suffer if you advance, and the whole army will be defeated if you retreat. All games are lost... Ben Gong asks you, do you want to regret this move?",

"Chao'er plays chess without regret..." Zhou Chiyu looked solemn, with firm eyes, Duan Ruohua helped her up, and said, "You just remember, if you are too strong, you will break, if you are too strong, you will be short."

"Chao'er understands", Zhou Chiyu looked at Weishuang on her temples, hesitating on his lips, and said, "The white hair is sad and the flowers are falling, and the blue clouds are envious of the birds flying".

Duan Ruohua looked at the sky outside the door, and the birds flew by the edge of the eaves and disappeared into the sky.

Su Fu

"Your Highness," Su Muhan led his wife out to greet him, "General Su, Mrs. Su, there is no need to be courteous." Zhou Chiyu returned the salute, "Your Highness came to look for Mu Xue, but unfortunately, Mr. Lin has an appointment today, and Mu Xue I’m going to burn incense on the Wushan Mountain,” Mrs. Su said, and ordered someone to give Zhou

Ike Yu serves tea,

"It seems such a coincidence," Zhou Chiyu said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's all your fault for the servants who didn't hand over the post in advance." Lu Ling pleaded guilty, "It's my palace's whim, so get up." Zhou Chiyu asked Lu Ling to get up, Inadvertently asked, "Is Prime Minister Su here?"

Father is slightly ill, resting in the room," Su Muhan responded.

Zhou Chiyu immediately stood up and said, "The Prime Minister is the pillar of the court, Zhaoning is presumptuous, can you go and visit?" Su Muhan responded repeatedly and led Zhou Chiyu to go.

"I see that Her Highness the Princess didn't come here to find Mu Xue, otherwise why wouldn't there even be a post?" Mrs. Su asked strangely. Su Muhan looked at the closed door and said in a deep voice, "The Princess is here for The old man is coming",

Seeing Mrs. Su's confused face, Su Muhan smiled lightly and shook her head, "It's better for a woman to take care of the affairs of the court." Madam Su's beautiful eyes turned and she gave him a look, "The princess and the family are discussing, don't you?" Is it also a court event?",

Su Muhan was thoughtful, looked at the window, and sighed, "It's better for a woman to choose a husband and son-in-law in this life." "What's the matter? Thinking of your righteous sister again?" Madam Su feigned anger, "You Look at you, what nonsense are you talking about?" Su Muhan shook her hand, patted it lightly, and sighed,

"Women are too strong to be too bad."

"What? I heard that the princess has gone to the Su Mansion?" Empress Su was lying on her side on the beauty couch, and the palace maid knelt down to paint her nails. For three days, I haven't seen anyone," the maid replied.

Empress Su sneered, "Presumably, I must know that the emperor intends to marry her to Mobei, and wants to ask Prime Minister Su for help." The maid covered her mouth and smiled,

"Who doesn't know that the prime minister is the mother's father, and the marriage is from the empress's will. Wouldn't it be boring to ask the prime minister?"

Empress Su looked at her nails lazily, "We all know that the Prime Minister is just and never takes sides. It is not unreasonable for her to ask for it. However, the Prime Minister has always been kind-hearted. In the case of Mobei, he advocated peace and turned hostility into friendship." Therefore, it is useless for her to ask for it."
