The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

In addition, for the sake of Mrs. Xue's health, Xue Pan had to go to the palace immediately to ask Tu Zhen to appoint an imperial physician to stay in Zhongxinhou's mansion.Walking hurriedly to the outside of Qianqing Palace, I happened to hear Tu Zhen's eerie laughter inside.Outside Dai Quan and other eunuchs stood there with their hands tied, watching their eyes, nose, nose, mouth, mouth, as if they didn't hear.

Seeing this situation, Xue Pan couldn't help raising his eyebrows suspiciously, walked up to Dai Quan and asked softly, "What's the situation?"

Dai Quan blinked his eyes, looked at Xue Pan for a while, then casually glanced at the little eunuchs who looked like wooden stakes around him, and then sighed quietly: "Don't worry, how can I know what the Holy One is thinking? "

These words are so high-sounding, presumably Dai Quan really doesn't know or can't say it.Xue Pan nodded indifferently, and stopped entangled with this, but instead said: "I have something important to ask the Holy One, and I hope my father-in-law will pass it on for me."

Dai Quan immediately responded with a smile.He turned around and went into the upper study room, but after a while, he came out with a bowed body and said with a smile: "My lord ordered me to announce the audience of Young Lord Xue."

Xue Pan nodded at Dai Quan and stepped in.After thinking about it, he returned.Very naturally, he took out a pack of hard fruit candies newly made by Fuyuan Pavilion from his arms and handed it to Dai Quan, and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, my mother is happy. I will give you two pieces of candies, and I will also dip them in." It is the joy of our family."

Dai Quan also took the candy from Xue Pan with a smile.Although this thing is not as valuable as real gold and silver, what makes it different is this little affection.The wedding candy personally handed out by the Great God of Wealth, Young Lord Xue, means that you have caught his eye.Its preciousness is higher than that of real gold and silver.After all, with the wealth and wealth of Young Master Xue, he can give money and jewelry to anyone at will, and he has the right to treat it as a reward.But he will not give candy to people at will.

Sure enough, Xue Pan's next move was to take out another bag of silver money from his pocket and hand it to Dai Quan, saying in his mouth: "It's freezing cold, and it's hard work for father-in-law to stand guard. Please ask father-in-law for these silver coins." Accept it, buy some noodles and wine to warm up your body."

Dai Quan couldn't hide his complacent glance at the crowd, then smiled and took the silver in Xue Pan's hand, and said with a reserved smile, "Young Master has a heart."

Xue Pan nodded disapprovingly, then turned around and went in.

Xiao Xiazi on the side immediately approached Dai Quan and asked in a low voice: "Master, why did you smile happily when the young master gave you candy, but now you are cold when you give silver taels?"

Dai Quan laughed, shook his head and said: "Silly boy, the master is happy when he gives the candy, that's because the candy is 'given' by the young master sincerely. As for those silver taels, it's just a reward."

Before and after the two, the value of things is different, and the natural sentiment and use are different.All kinds of tastes are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

Dai Quan looked at the ignorant Xiao Xiazi, shook his head and sighed: "Fool, you still have a lot to learn!"

As he said that, he opened up the purse of silver, divided it into equal parts and distributed them to the eunuchs on duty, and said with a calm smile: "Since it's the young master's kindness, everyone, don't just stand there, Let's all come to enjoy the nobleman's happiness."

It's just that the bag of candies that Xue Pan handed over to him was firmly put into his bosom, without any intention of separating it.

After all, in the palace, it doesn't matter if some things are divided, but there are some things that people can't covet even if they work hard.

Dai Quan touched his swollen chest, and smiled secretly: "The idea of ​​fighting is different when people are alive."

Let's say that Xue Pan stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and saw that Tu Zhen no longer had that eerie smile.Sitting upright behind the dragon table, holding a pen in one hand, and constantly flipping through the memorials on the table with the other hand, his expression is serious and quiet, indescribably peaceful and indifferent.

The sunlight shone slightly on his face, and halos formed on his body in a trance, which made his beauty more beautiful, with lingering eyebrows.Strange people say that a serious man is the most attractive. Looking at it now, the ancients are not deceived.only……

Xue Pan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, stepped forward and covered the memorial in front of Tu Zhen, snorted twice, and said, "I heard you laughing like an idiot outside the hall just now, and now you are laughing again. Come up with such a shape. Who are you going to show it to?"

Tu Zhen glanced lightly at Xue Pan, and outlined the perfect curve of her lips in an extremely elegant manner.He gave Xue Pan a loving look, but didn't speak.

Xue Pan couldn't bear it anymore and rolled his eyes, twisted his waist and sat on Tu Zhen's lap, holding Tu Zhen's face in both hands and said: "Fake it. He is such a black-bellied and small-hearted person, but he deliberately made a loyal one." Don't you think it's against harmony to be like Prince Lian?"

Only then did Tu Zhen smile and said, "People in the world always say that a gentleman is modest and gentle as jade. Doesn't Pan'er like it?"

Xue Pan twitched his lips in disdain and said, "That's because everyone in the world was deceived by Prince Zhonglian's stinky skin. He is obviously an old fox who is good at calculating, but he made such a rabbit-like image. He is not afraid of the time to pretend." I lost my kidneys when I grew up."

Tu Zhen smiled lightly and said, "But I saw Miss Xue and Ji Li, Pan'er and Lao Wu having a good talk!"

Xue Pan glanced at Tu Zhen, and said with a half-smile: "So you pretended to be him to coax me? When did you become so unconfident? Could it be that you are not afraid of pretending to be too weak?"

Tu Zhen's eyes darkened, and he put his arms around Xue Pan's waist, and said suggestively: "Pan'er, don't worry, no matter how many layers of masks I wear to deal with others, I won't lose my strength to 'satisfy' you. "

Sensing something that became hotter and bigger when Tu Zhen spoke, Xue Pan helplessly rolled his eyes, and hummed softly, "Mensao."

Before Rong Tuzhen could react, Xue Pan said again: "You know that my mother is happy, are you very happy here?"

Tu Zhen blinked his eyes pretending to be innocent, Xue Pan's thick and curled eyelashes flickered like the wings of a butterfly, and Xue Pan felt itchy in his heart.He hooked the corner of his mouth, kissed Xue Pan casually, and said casually, "How do you know that I know?"

Xue Pan hooked Tu Zhen's neck and deepened the kiss. After a while, he laughed softly and said, "Why didn't I know that you knew?"

The two sentences, which seemed like tongue twisters, really portrayed the temperament of both of them, both of whom had bad intentions and were jealous.

So the two of them kept silent, looked at each other, and showed a tacit smile.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xue Pan invited the imperial physician Wang to stay in Zhongxinhou's residence for a short period of time, and by the way, he asked Mrs. Xue to take care of her body.Tu Zhen naturally agreed with everything.After the two chatted and laughed, they decided on the work of Imperial Physician Wang for the next year, and then Tu Zhen relaxed and hugged Xue Pan in his arms, resting his thin chin on Xue Pan's beautifully shaped neck Er Chu said sullenly: "I thought I would personally choose a wife with both good looks and good looks for you, and watch you and her enter the bridal chamber with my own eyes, and watch you and her have children with my own eyes. Fortunately..."

Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect that Tu Zhen had already thought of such a far place.But now holding Tu Zhen's slightly thin body and feeling Tu Zhen's entanglement and sadness from the bottom of his heart, Xue Pan couldn't help but sighed softly, hugged Tu Zhen's waist tightly with his backhand, and sighed softly: "We have already It’s like this, it’s the most rare thing to be able to live a good life. Why bother to involve other people, one is sorry for the innocent daughter, and the other is not to be in the middle of us, everyone will feel uncomfortable at that time. "

Tu Zhen was stunned for a while, and then whispered: "I think so too. So I will never go to the harem again to visit concubines... When I have a chance in a few years, I will pardon the world and let them out of the palace. How do you feel?"

This was not Tu Zhen's whim.It can only be said that ever since Tuzhen said that he wanted to be with Xue Pan, he has persisted in this belief.This time, after personally choosing a marriage for Xue Pan, his heart was cut like a knife, and he felt overwhelmed when he knew that Mrs. Xue was pregnant with a child, which only forced him to think about it.

Throughout his life, Tu Zhen has been entangled in the love-hate relationship between love, hatred, sorrow and joy directed by his biological mother, adoptive mother and biological father since he could remember. More than 20 years of tempering have already wiped out all the good feelings for the harem in his heart.Until his biological brother, Prince Zhongshun, murdered him several times under the protection of his biological mother, Concubine De, and the Emperor and Empress Dowager suppressed and harmed him openly and secretly in order to protect his status, all of which wiped away the last point of family affection in Tu Zhen's heart. Son extravagant hope.

After being on the throne for three years, in fact, he is not only proficient in the mind and means that are necessary for an emperor.In the constant conspiracy and calculation, Tu Zhen found that his heart became cold and hardened little by little.For the sake of strategy and profit, he can calculate those nominal pillow people without any scruples or any mercy.He will even lead and indulge those harem women's jealousy and frame persecution intentionally or unintentionally.

Tu Zhen clearly realized that his life was approaching step by step his father, whom he adored a lot but disdained in his heart.In order to keep the chair under his buttocks, he gave up the so-called brotherhood and even parental relationship from a very early age.He used his flimsy and passive coat as a cover, but secretly planned scenes of father and son fighting each other and brothers fighting each other.Until now, Tu Zhen found himself getting closer to the pinnacle of unshackled people.But on the other hand, there is less and less humanity remaining in his heart.So far, except for Xue Pan, who has been in his eyes since he was a child, he can plan and frame everyone unscrupulously. Such a cruel Tu Zhen has become even he himself does not recognize.

So in the final stage of being completely lost at the pinnacle of power, Tu Zhen finally let go of his wish and made the final struggle.He gently buried his head in Xue Pan's neck, and said with reassurance: "Pan'er, you will always stand by my side. And there will only be you by my side. We will Live like this for the rest of your life. Tell me, okay?"

Even if this is just an ideal that can never be realized and the most illusory promise and love words.Xue Pan only felt that it was enough to hear Tu Zhen say these words himself.

So he slowly raised the corners of his lips, drew an extremely glamorous smile on his face, and replied softly: "Okay."

Aware of the perfunctory and unbelief deep in Xue Pan's heart, he also indulged in Xue Pan's sudden and stunning amorous feelings.Tu Zhen's eyes were so dark that no trace of light could see through, he swallowed for a while, and then responded hoarsely: "Pan'er, whether you believe it or not, I am telling the truth—I am The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven promises a promise, and it will never be changed. Don't worry, Pan'er, within five years, I will definitely get rid of this huge and impersonal harem."

After a pause, Tu Zhen said as if sighing: "In my entire life, Tu Zhen, you, Xue Pan, are enough."

As he said that, Tu Zhen took Xue Pan's arms around his waist and held them in front of his chest with a persistent look on his face, and said resolutely: "I, Tu Zhen, use the seventh emperor of the Dayong Dynasty, and use the year name to make an oath—Tu Zhen The descendants of the family, Tuzhen, have only one Xue Pan in their whole life, no matter how difficult the times are, no matter what kind of hardships there will be in the future. If you violate this oath, your country will be ruined and your family will be destroyed."

Dazed, naked, dazed, as if a thunderbolt hit his head instantly, Xue Pan stared at Tu Zhen dumbfounded, but didn't know how to react.

Seeing Xue Pan's rare stupid look, Tu Zhen's lips curled into a gentle arc, and he kissed Xue Pan's lips lightly, as if touching water with a touch of a dragonfly.Then he raised his arm and stroked Xue Pan's white and smooth neck, and said softly: "Pan'er, from now on, I only want you, and you are the only one. No matter what the situation, you must never abandon me, and you must never give up. mine."

Otherwise, I will absolutely not hesitate to drag you into hell together.

Xue Pan was dumbfounded for a while, and finally said something like a dream: "Fuck, I must be dreaming, right?"

Tu Zhen's face turned dark, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the soft flesh on Xue Pan's cheek, and said softly, "At this time, you should respond to my sweet words. Don't say such dirty words to spoil the fun."

Xue Pan rubbed his aching cheeks, hugged Tu Zhen foolishly and smiled, "How about...I will give you all the assets and private money under my name!"

Tu Zhen: "..."

Xue Pan suddenly chuckled, sat up straight with a straight face, and stared solemnly at Tu Zhen opposite him.He thought of a very crooked confession in later generations.He felt that it was very suitable for the current situation.So Xue Pan used his literary attainments in the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" to recall for a while, and then solemnly said as if swearing: "If you never leave, I will depend on you in life and death."

So the two sighed at the same time, as if they were grateful, they hugged each other's body and got close to themselves.Feeling the warm body of the other party, the strong heartbeat and seductive breath lingering around him like this, as if sunshine and air are indispensable.I just felt that even the dark palace became bright and beautiful all of a sudden.

Happiness is within reach.
