wise man

In the dotted lights of the courtyard, two figures floated up to the roof. If someone looked closely, they would find that one of them had his arms around the other's waist.

Ziyan and Wisteria took a look, then retracted, Ziteng opened her eyes wide and looked at Ziyan: "Sister Ziyan, Eldest Young Master and Brother Zhenzi..."

Ziyan pulled her back to the house, and said softly: "It's spread all over the house, the young master likes little hazel, and wants to let him be a concubine."

Wisteria was completely stunned, her diamond-shaped mouth slightly opened, and she stammered after a while: "This, but, but Brother Hazel is a man."

"You silly girl, are you ignorant? Most of the young masters in the capital keep male pets and concubines at the age of sixteen or seventeen. But they are just for fun. Our young master has always kept himself clean. If he likes little hazel, then Definitely really liked it."

"Yeah, it must be." Wisteria nodded heavily, "No wonder Brother Hazel was beaten last night, the young master looked so distressed."

Ziyan clasped her two hands and put them on her chin, her eyes sparkled with excitement: "I have always felt that there is something unusual between the two of them, but I can't tell what's wrong, and now I finally understand. Little Hazel looks big The young master's eyes, he obviously likes him. But he dare not say, who calls him a servant. Thank God, the young master finally likes him too. "

"Brother Hazel is getting better and better, no wonder Eldest Young Master likes him." Wisteria murmured.

"Yes, yes."

The two chattered quietly in the room, while Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen were sitting side by side on the roof, with one hand of Chen Shoushi still holding Yang Zhen's waist.

"Master, what do you want your subordinates to do?" In the quiet night, Yang Zhen didn't dare to raise her voice, her voice was as soft as the wind blowing on them at the moment.

"Look at the moon."

"This waning moon bends like a crescent's eyebrow, and it's not a full moon. You ask your subordinates to look at the moon?" Yang Zhen was puzzled.

Chen Shoushi smiled, his eyes were like the brightest stars in the darkness: "I wanted to take you to drink together, but you were injured, so I gave up. Just sit with me like this, listen to the wind and look at the shadows of flowers, it's not good Is it?"

"However, we are too ostentatious. If the master finds out..."

"He will know, the shadow guards in the mansion may be spying on us somewhere."

Yang Zhen: "!" So there really is such a profession as shadow guards, do these people exist like ghosts?He immediately looked around vigilantly.

"Don't look for it." Chen Shoushi didn't care at all, "Don't worry about them, I just want everyone in the whole house to know about our relationship, and from then on, there is no need to hide it, and you won't be punished again."

"But, your reputation..."

"What is clear is clear by itself, and what is turbid is turbid by itself. Let others talk about it."

"Master." Yang Zhen's heart was full of emotion. This man contradicted his father, offended Long Yan, and confronted the prince tit for tat. Emotions, like a volcanic eruption, can no longer be contained.

He took the initiative to hug Chen Shoushi, brought his lips closer, and kissed Chen Shoushi. "Master, I love you, I love you." The bold confession leaked from between the lips and teeth, like fine water drops, crystal clear, falling into Chen Shoushi's mouth.

Chen Shoushi couldn't help laughing, his Zhen'er was so bold and active, it really impressed him tonight.That kiss seemed to have poured his whole body, all his emotions and even his soul, warm and pious.

"Zhen'er, call me Husband." Chen Shoushi's magnetic voice was disturbed by the stirring of lips and tongue, it was a bit vague, but it was even more confusing.

Yang Zhen's face suddenly boiled.Concubine, Husband, these ancient titles are still not suitable for him!I am a man, I am a modern man, he shouted in his heart as if struggling, but his voice was as weak as a candle that was about to go out.He couldn't resist the charm of the man in front of him, he felt that he was about to melt into his kiss.

He wanted to yell indiscriminately during the kiss and get away with it, but Chen Shoushi seemed to have guessed his thoughts and let him go, his obsidian-like eyes silently stared at him, clearly unable to see clearly, but Yang Zhen felt as if he was reflected in the His eyes.

"Hazel, call me." This time, he took a commanding tone.

"Master, this subordinate is now... just a concubine." Yang Zhen struggled to cope with Chen Shoushi's strong aura, his Adam's apple wriggled slightly nervously, and his eyelashes kept trembling.In the dark, Chen Shoushi saw it for real.

He hugged Yang Zhen into his arms, and sighed softly: "You still care, the concubine is just a stopgap measure, I regard you as my wife in my heart."

"No, it's not because of this." Yang Zhen couldn't tell because of the pain, I know you are making a stopgap, and I also know that you only have me in your heart, I just can't say that damn name!

"Then call it." The man said again.

Knowing that there was no way to avoid it, Yang Zhen leaned close to Chen Shoushi's ear, took a deep breath, and called out, "Husband, husband." With a bang, his whole body seemed to explode, and his internal organs, limbs and bones all turned into smoke.

Chen Shoushi held his face in his hands, it was so hot that an egg could be boiled.He asked him: "You are so shy just by calling me, what will happen to you when we have sex?"

Here it is again, Yang Zhen dare not look directly at that charming expression.Is this man a gentleman?Is it a rare species that was still abstinent at the age of 22 in ancient times?Why is he so good at teasing girls, no, teasing... what?As the object of teasing, Yang Zhen was at a loss for words.

"Master, this subordinate's injuries are much better, let's drink some. The night is so beautiful, if you don't drink some wine, it won't be romantic enough." He proposed, but in fact he just wanted to use wine to cover up his embarrassment.

"Okay, since you are not afraid of the wound getting worse, let's drink a little. You wait for me." Chen Shoushi landed lightly, and went into the room to get the wine.

Yang Zhen looked at his flying figure foolishly, thinking that this man was really handsome.That falling posture, I am afraid that no modern star can perform its chicness.

At this time, he noticed that the branches not far away shook slightly, but only a slight wind was stirred up, and then it returned to silence.

Is it the shadow guard?Sure enough, Duan Guogong's eyes and ears are everywhere.

The figure flickered, and Chen Shoushi took a jar of wine and sat back on the roof.

"Master, there seems to be a shadow guard hidden in that tree just now." Yang Zhen said.

"It's okay, let him go." Chen Shoushi opened the wine jar, raised it to take a sip, and gave it to Yang Zhen, who also raised it to take a sip. The wine was mellow and delicious.

"Master, the land behind the yamen has been cultivated by my subordinates for the past few days. Wait until I get back..."

"We'll talk about it when we get back to business." Chen Shoushi interrupted him, "Just relax tonight."

"Yes."

Chen Shoushi took him into his arms, and the two drank one after another.Those two handsome faces, in the faint moonlight, were faintly shadowed, especially beautiful.

The shadow of the candle is red, and the incense burning in the copper furnace emits thin smoke.The room was very quiet, only Chen Jingting and Princess Ruohua were there.

The fragrance of tea floated in front of Chen Jingting.This tea was brewed by Ruohua himself.

"Brother Jingting," this name has not been called for many years, she has always called him Master, "Brother Huang is looking for you, what's the matter?"

Chen Jingting was stunned by the "Brother Jingting" and stared at his wife.This beautiful woman is his salvation, she has given him the greatest tolerance, like a peaceful harbor, where his heart, which has been tossed in the wind and waves for several years, finally finds a rest.For her, he was not only affectionate, but also guilty.

However, ever since he found out about his son and Yang Zhen last night, his heart has been disturbed.He shouldn't have shown it, he shouldn't have spent the night alone in the study.

"Ruohua." He also called her by her name, apologetic and honest in his dark eyes, he didn't want to deceive his wife, "Your Majesty summoned me to that place."

Ruohua was slightly taken aback: "Are...are you sad?"

"No, it's not sad, it's embarrassing." Chen Jingting picked up the tea and took a sip. Just now, his mouth was dry.Perhaps, no matter how calm he looked, he couldn't hide the anxiety in his heart.Facing that strong lover—no, the former lover, facing the past that he didn't want to look back on, he couldn't keep calm.

Although, he has passed the age of forty years; although the years have polished him to be indomitable, the wind and rain are still, but deep in his heart there are still fears, worries, fragility, and entanglements.

Ruohua stood up, walked behind him, removed the jade crown for him, took a comb, and gently combed his hair.

She would do this every time Chen Jingting was upset.Comb his hair slowly, like combing his mind.

"It's all over, Brother Jingting." Ruohua said, "Back then, Brother Huang promised me that he would let go, I believe him."

"Yes, I was disturbed." Chen Jingting smiled wryly, "Shi'er, he disturbed my heart."

"I understand." Ruohua said, "That past must be unforgettable, even if you keep it dusty, it is still in your heart."

"Ruohua." Chen Jingting held her hand behind his back, "I'm sorry."

"You didn't apologize to me." Ruohua smiled, "I did it willingly. Besides, we have been loving each other all these years, and I have never once regretted marrying you. You were so angry last night that you punished Yang Zhen and hit Shi'er. I know that you are actually afraid, afraid of the tricks of fate. After all, that is against secular ethics."

"Ruohua, you... understand me too well, and tolerate me too much." Chen Jingting's low voice was full of shame, "I'm just a coward, a coward who can't lift up and let go."

"Don't say that." Ruohua's slender fingers ran through his hair, "Jing Ting, each of us is one of many living beings, living in this world is full of unsatisfactory things."

"But, I made you sad."

"No, my sorrow is not for myself, but for all those who are bound by fate."

"Ruohua." Chen Jingting turned around and hugged her, "How can there be such a good woman like you in this world? How can I, Chen Jingting, marry such a good wife like you?" His voice was a little choked up.

Ruohua hugged him back, and it took a long time for Chen Jingting to regain his composure: "Your Majesty, he... He discussed something with me."

"About Shi'er?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

"I guessed it." Ruohua sat down, sitting next to Chen Jingting, and the two held hands, "The last time I entered the palace, the emperor's sister-in-law mentioned to me about Feng'er and Feng Yu's marriage. She is extremely important, so she might have some plans. She didn't say what it is, but I don't think she looks right." Her pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, "Brother Huang told you? What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty wants us to adopt Shi'er to him as his second prince."

The fingers in the palm trembled slightly. "Ruohua..." Chen Jingting saw his wife's face turning pale, "Ruohua, don't be sad. If you disagree, I'll go back to His Majesty."

Ruohua shook his head, not sure if he was talking to Chen Jingting, or muttering to himself: "I understand. The prince is incompetent, and he has no brothers to pose a threat to him, so he justifiably pampers himself. Brother Huang is too disappointed. Brother Huang did this because he wanted to use Shi'er to stimulate the crown prince."

The wife is really smart.Chen Jingting sighed silently: "Exactly, I think so too. But His Majesty said, he will never do anything wrong to us, he regards Shi'er as his own son."

"You agreed?" Ruohua raised her eyelashes and looked at her husband.

"Can I not agree? He is the king and I am the minister. Besides, you are the daughter of the royal family. For the sake of the Ji family, can you not agree?"

A touch of moisture climbed up Ruohua's eyelashes, she looked at her husband full of love, she didn't know whether it was sadness or joy, but her voice trembled slightly: "You are always full of country, king, and Shi'er Always full of thoughts about the country and the people. You father and son want to devote themselves to the Ji family, how can I, the daughter of the Ji family, object?"

Her voice was choked in her throat, and she continued after a while: "But, my son is going to call the emperor brother and father, and after calling the emperor's sister-in-law, I..."

"He is still our son and will not change."
