Du Penglai was very depressed. He avoided the forced marriage of his parents in the 21st century and thought that the world would be peaceful, but he did not expect to be forced to marry in ancient times.Even though he cried to Lin Xuan on the third day that he could not be forced to marry a woman, Lin Xuan smiled and agreed that he would mind disclosing Du Penglai's identity as a woman, as if all the men in the world were free to choose.Du Penglai was trembling with anger, you are cruel!But your majesty, you can't entrap a good woman like this, can you?Du Penglai sat down on the steps in the main hall in a state of dismay, because she couldn't find any girls anyway.Seeing that she was serious, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "A university scholar knows astronomy first and geography second. Could it be that he can't even manage his own marriage?"

"I said, Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know that I advocate freedom in love. I feel dizzy, dizzy, and nervous when your deadline is over. And—" Du Penglai scratched his head angrily when he thought of the hands clasped in front of his chest.Fortunately, Chang An was the only one waiting in the main hall, otherwise the appearance of the grand scholar would have made people in the court laugh at him. "What else?" Seeing Du Penglai's impatient look, Lin Xuan wanted to say something but held back, followed by curiosity.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, you didn't see the carriages coming and going at the gate of my mansion. There are more people than me who came to my mansion a month before." Du Penglai became angry when he thought of it, "They all came to want to marry my daughter to me. I became angry during this time. Didn’t they do their homework before they came? I, Du Penglai, treat little girls well, whether there is domestic violence, or unmentionable diseases. I don’t care about it. Called a bachelor, of course my manager is very handsome. May I ask the emperor, why do you say they want to marry their daughter to me? It's simply a title to marry their daughter to me, and they don't care about their daughter's happiness at all. "

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Xuan seemed to be very surprised, his face was calm and his heart was full of joy. Du Penglai, who had always thought highly of himself, was mistaken by the flock of marriage partners. complexion. "It seems that university scholars are very popular in the capital now." Lin Xuan sat in front of the case and drank the tonic from Chang'an, showing no signs of sympathy for Du Penglai.Du Penglai was so angry that he jumped up and picked up his dark purple robe, and sat down on the ground, laughing helplessly, "I think I have been against everything recently, and life is really unsatisfactory. So does the doctor."

"Don't, don't, don't be discouraged. The current state is not necessarily what you enjoy, but at least it proves that you have a high status in Zhaoguo. I heard that you want to get married, so people will rush to marry their daughter to you. If It might be difficult for you to marry a wife if you don't have much money. Thinking about it this way, shouldn't you be happier?" Lin Xuan looked at him with a smile. "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never talk about you and Marquis Dingbei again." Du Penglai raised his flag and surrendered with a flattering expression.

"Huh?" Lin Xuan pretended to be puzzled and looked at him, "This little purple robe can only be worn by our bachelors with such a suave and suave taste. I don't know which girl is cheaper." Before finishing speaking, Du Penglai stretched out his hand and began to untie the belt on his side, "Oh, who's purple robe is on me, Changan yours, right? Whoever gossips about the emperor, I must arrest all these ministers today and punish them severely! Thirty lashes per person and one year's salary will be deducted." Du Penglai had already unbuttoned half of the purple robe, "Okay, okay, did I let you take off your clothes? I think you are disheveled before the hall. Is it itchy? Ah——?"

"The emperor is not as good as the minister's marriage?" Du Penglai winked at Lin Xuan, his eyes were full of: Let's sell Lord Hou together?Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "How did Jiang Lingyue know you?" Immediately agreed, "Okay, Mu Yao has been fighting with her for many years, I won't force you to make things happen for them. Get married." Du Penglai was afraid that Lin Xuan would renege on his order, so he ran out the door, shouting as he ran, "It's a promise, you have no jokes, there is no repentance!"

"Look at scaring him," Lin Xuan said to himself, "Actually... I'm afraid that he will be alone." Chang An smiled gently, "Since the emperor has this intention, why don't you just tell the scholar directly." Lin Xuan looked at it Chang An took a look, and said earnestly: "Who is willing to admit that he is lonely, let alone there are people around him, isn't admitting that he is lonely hurting the people around him? Has there been news from Zhou Guo?"

Chang An looked distressed, "It's still the same, there is no news." Lin Xuan sighed, "Since a mysterious owner appeared, Jun Yue disappeared from the Zhou Palace, and there has been no news for two years. Before that, I could rely on insiders to find out. Now, I have sent out so many people and no one has brought me any news about her recent situation." As Lin Xuan said, he felt pain in both temples, and he stretched out his hands to press hard, Chang An saw that he was tired and took it out from the nanmu shelf beside him. Point the thumb-sized agarwood on it.For two years, Lin Xuan asked about Ji Yuejun's news every day as usual, but there was no news in the past two years, Lin Xuan went from the initial rage to the present calm and helpless. "She said she was learning art from an expert, but she hasn't passed any news to me these years, Chang An, do you think she has forgotten me?" Lin Xuan felt sad every time he thought of this.

"I think the concubine has something to hide, my majesty, don't worry." Chang An comforted him every time, he knew that Lin Xuan had too many political affairs to distract him. "I'm too greedy. I have so much and want this and that. After marrying a queen and fighting for the world, I have no right to say that I love her. Cough...cough...cough..." Chang An hurriedly presented Chuanbei Tang, "Your boy has a heart." It was well prepared." Lin Xuan took a sip of the sweetness just right. "It's not Zhou Quan, the slave. It's the empress who thought Zhou Quan just sent someone to say that the emperor is prone to coughing in Chun Ri, so I want you to drink some to moisten your lungs." Lin Xuan stopped for a moment with a spoon in his hand, pursed his lips and let out a sigh of relief. He drank a few more breaths, "Take it away. Where is the queen at the moment?"

"Looking at the tweeds in the backyard with the little prince." Chang An smiled, turned around and put the remaining half of the porcelain bowl on the case tray for people to take away, staring at the white jade bowl and sighing softly.After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan stood up and braced himself, "She has lived up to the glory, let's go, let's go to the backyard too."

Now that the flowers are in full bloom, the piles of flowers in the yard are very beautiful, which makes Lin Xuan, who has been indoors for a long time, brighten his eyes and inexplicably improves his mood.When they walked around the long pavilion, they heard Si'er's laughter. Mo Zhiqing was wearing a light green long dress, elegant and refined, with a doting smile on her face, "Auntie, what kind of flower is that? How many flowers are there?"

"It's peach blossoms, why don't you remember that my aunt shows you flowers every day?" Mo Zhiqing said softly to Lin Si, "How much do you want?" Lin Si raised his head and smiled, "Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better." " Mo Zhiqing laughed in surprise, "If your uncle knows that you can use all the art of war in the 'Peach Blossom', I don't know if he will praise you for learning by analogy. Si'er, don't you think this flower is beautiful? Beautiful?" Lin Si stared at the flowers, then at Mo Zhiqing, then seriously said with big eyes flashing, "Peach blossoms are beautiful, but aunt is more beautiful than flowers." Mo Zhiqing laughed wildly when she heard that Trembling smugly, seeing that the child looks like a miniature version of Lin Xuan, she is obedient to herself, but her own uncle is not as good at talking as this kid, "Your uncle never thinks that aunt is pretty." Lin Xuan Si opened his glasses in surprise, and asked in amazement: "Really? Uncle Huang has an eye disease! Si'er has to let the imperial doctor show him." Said anxiously, he waved to Ju Cui, and greeted Mo Zhiqing I was so happy that I shed tears, this kid is really a cheating uncle.Looking up at Lin Xuan's handsome face covered with dark clouds, Si'er... such a sweet talker with an innocent face to deceive a girl, it's okay when she grows up.

"My nephew pays respects to the emperor's uncle." Although Lin Si was young, he already had a decent salute, and he also knew the way of a monarch and his ministers.

"Excuse me." Lin Xuan waved his hand, and Lin Si quickly raised his head to stare at Lin Xuan's eyes. His clear and sharp eyes shot at him, scaring her to swallow the words at the bottom of her throat. Although he didn't understand, he knew it. It was the signal before the emperor's uncle got angry, "Uncle emperor, I'm resigning! I still have homework to finish!" After saying that, he ran away. On the way back to the palace, Lin Si chased after Emperor Jucui and asked if he had eye problems, why not? Thinking that the queen is good-looking, she was so frightened that Jucui's three souls lost her seven souls and said that only my little ancestor dared to say this.If it was someone else, I'm afraid the emperor would beat him to death.

"My palace has also finished admiring the flowers, and the concubine will leave." Mo Zhiqing saluted respectfully and prepared to leave. "Wait, why did you leave when I came here?" Lin Xuan raised her eyebrows. In the past half month, Mo Zhiqing seldom came to Chengqian Palace, and even secretly told her and Si'er that he pretended not to hear him. Not much concession?

"Then what does the emperor want me to do?" The bell behind Mo Zhiqing was a little nervous, staring at them with a pair of big black eyes.Lin Xuan deliberately walked in front of Ling Dang and turned his back on Mo Zhiqing, silently asking for help from Ling Dang: What's wrong with her?Bell shook her head innocently, she didn't know anything.Seeing that there was nothing to be gained from asking the bell, Lin Xuan immediately raised a smile and asked, "Why don't you accompany me to the backyard with the queen, it's rare that the sun is shining today and the spring is full of brilliance."

"Okay, it's rare for the emperor to be so upbeat." As Mo Zhiqing invited Lin Xuan to walk in the peach blossom forest, Chang An and Ling Dang looked at each other and both chose the shield.After walking for a stick of incense, neither Lin Xuan nor Mo Zhiqing spoke. The atmosphere was a little strange. Lin Xuan was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and wandering in the sea of ​​peach blossoms. Mo Zhiqing looked at Lin Xuan from the corner of her eye while walking. His appearance has not changed much from seven years ago, but the majesty in the corners of his eyes has increased a bit, making him look much more mature.

"Recently...the empress seldom visits the Chengqian Hall, what is she busy with in the harem?" Lin Xuan asked seemingly casually, it was rare for him to talk to Mo Zhiqing about something other than political matters, so he didn't know what to say.Mo Zhiqing slowly followed Lin Xuan's footsteps, and the smell of spring seemed to smell in her stomach, "The Empress Dowager asked Bengong to accompany her to fly a kite with the ministers and family members yesterday, and today promised to accompany Si'er to visit the garden. The emperor has never been interested in trivial matters." Lin Xuan rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, "I've been busy these years, thanks to you often accompany my grandmother for me, and Si'er is also accompanied by you a lot." Thinking carefully about Lin Xuan's past seven years Concentrating on political affairs and paying little attention to the people around her, thinking about it now, it is because the queen took care of everything in detail, which made Lin Xuan less worried.Mo Zhiqing smiled sadly like a fallen peach blossom on a tree, "As a queen, I naturally have to be filial to the emperor's grandmother, but it seems strange for the emperor to be so polite when he shoulders the responsibility of raising his nephew." Lin Xuan looked up Looking at the blue sky, he asked naturally like the clouds in the sky: "The empress has been in the palace for seven years because I have treated you badly. To be honest... I am ashamed." After finishing speaking, she turned and stood in front of Mo Zhiqing, and said solemnly : "Zhiqing, I wonder if you have a wish that I can help you realize?"

Mo Zhiqing turned around and looked at Lin Xuan sideways, smiling like a peach blossom: "The emperor really?"

"Of course it's true." Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows so that he didn't know what Mo Zhiqing was planning, but when she said it, he felt a little flustered in his heart.

"Why don't you...come to the concubine's palace tonight to accompany the concubine...drinking and playing chess." Mo Zhiqing felt a little sad seeing Lin Xuan's relieved expression, she was already used to it.

"Zhiqing's wish is a bit small." Lin Xuan laughed.

"Since the concubine entered the palace for more than seven years, the emperor has not gone to the concubine's palace to drink and play chess overnight. A wish that only comes true once in seven years is not a small wish in Zhiqing's view. Since the emperor promised, it will naturally count, but Zhiqing doesn't want to wait seven years."

Lin Xuan stood alone in the peach blossom forest, Mo Zhiqing resigned first and did not accompany her anymore.It's not that Lin Xuan doesn't know what it feels like to look up to someone for seven years, it's because he has been avoiding and turning a blind eye.Doesn't he know Mo Zhiqing's love for him?He knew everything but pretended not to know, he didn't want to face it, let alone solve it, he just vaguely defined his plans for them.After seven years of companionship, Mo Zhiqing is no longer the passerby she used to be.His eyes are full of blood, and his thoughts are troubled. Could it be that the relationship between him and Ji Yuejun ends here?
