There is no phoenix

Li Rubing took the clothes from the little eunuch, but stood there in embarrassment.Shui Ruoyang approached, slowly took Li Rubing's hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't be nervous, you come in with me first!"

Shui Ruoyang led Li Rubing into the back room, and Li Rubing realized that there was something wrong with it.First, there is a large study room, which is filled with many books, and some memorials that may have been read.

Passing through this large study room, there is a large bedroom with a large dragon bed in the middle, golden curtains, and golden dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on the red quilt.

Feeling that Li Rubing's hands were trembling, Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "Girl, do you know that only my queen has been in this room. But after the queen left, no woman came here again."

Speaking of this, Shui Ruoyang sighed: "When I was the crown prince, I never thought about why the emperor would be called a loner. Now I understand, but I have frost on my temples. In the eyes of the world, the emperor has no true feelings. It is even more impossible to be loyal to the person I like. But girl, do you know that I used to have many women, but the one who is really engraved in my heart is the former queen. When I married the queen, I was still the prince. The queen told me that I was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life, and she felt that she was the happiest woman. At that time, I told her that my father and emperor would let me marry women in the future, and asked me to do more for the royal family. The branches are scattered. Girl, do you know what my queen said?"

Li Rubing looked at Shui Ruoyang, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this servant can't guess."

Shui Ruoyang sighed: "Girl, let me tell you, the queen said at the time that she loved me, so she married me willingly. She said that as long as I treat her as my wife, she will never make things difficult for me. She also said, She knows that it is not easy to be a prince, and it will be even more difficult to be a good emperor in the future. From then on, I told her that she will only be the queen in my life. Girl, do you know that after the queen leaves, my My heart has always been empty. In this palace, there are many concubines, and there are often different concubines around me, but I will not make a queen again. Girl, seeing you today, I seem to have seen the past again. The way the queen and I were married. I can't promise you anything, but I hope you will accompany me well. I don't know why. Seeing you girl, I seem to be back to my youth. Girl, you are willing to accompany me Is this a loner?"

Li Rubing looked up at Shui Ruoyang, he spoke so seriously, his eyes were full of tenderness.

For many years, except for my father and elder brother, no man has ever held my hand like this, no man has treated me so tenderly, and no man has opened my heart to express my heart like this.When the wind blows outside, this man who is more than 30 years older than himself will naturally take off his cloak, help him put it on and fasten the belt; when it is dark on the road, you can’t see clearly, this high-ranking emperor will naturally stretch out his cloak. Make a move and lead yourself forward.

He also naturally and affectionately called himself "girl"!

Li Rubing just looked at Shui Ruoyang quietly like this, with tears slowly flashing in his eyes, he couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, you are a good person, you are like the father of the servant and the elder brother of the servant, although they are now I am already confused about the appearance. The emperor is willing to call the slave girl, and the slave feels like hearing the voice of his family. The slave is now telling the emperor that the slave does not want any promises from the emperor, and is willing to accompany the emperor! If the emperor thinks that the slave looks a bit like the former queen, The emperor just needs to be a slave and a maid like the former queen!"

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang was in a good mood, and quickly stretched out his hand to stroke a strand of hair on Li Rubing's forehead, and said with a smile: "Girl, I see that you are not an ordinary woman, let's go take a bath first, and then we can talk later, okay?" ?”

Li Rubing blushed and said softly, "Then the servant will wait for the emperor to take a bath first?"

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang still took Li Rubing's hand and said, "Girl, I don't need you to take care of me in the bath, but now we go there together, they should prepare hot water!"

When the sound of rushing water sounded from the other side only separated by a layer of curtain, Li Rubing, who was soaking in the bathtub, closed his eyes, as if he had returned to the scene six years ago.

"Bing'er, your father is here and said he has something important to tell you, go out with Master!"

13-year-old Li Bing was practicing sword in the backyard of Qingyun Temple, when his master Yue Pingshuang came in and shouted to him.

Li Bing was pleasantly surprised, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, his father must have come to give his master and himself some New Year's things, or he was here to tell his brother that he was going to marry his sister-in-law?

Yue Pingshuang is more than 40 years old this year, because Li Bing is the daughter of Li Shoubei in Chang'an County. Two years ago, because Li Bing had been sick, she hired many doctors and took countless medicines, but she never recovered.A Taoist said to Li Shoubei's mother that Li Bing would go to a monastery or Taoist temple to meditate for five years, and all his illnesses would naturally be cured.And Li Shoubei's wife, because she has come to Qingyun Temple many times to offer incense, knows the master Yue Pingshuang, and knows that the master Yue is honest, kind, and good at martial arts, so she sent her 11-year-old daughter here to rest and recuperate. Less money for joss sticks.

Hearing that his father was coming, Li Bing hurriedly stopped dancing his sword, straightened his clothes, and followed his master out.

When Li Bing excitedly followed his master to meet his father, he was shocked by the father he saw: his father, Li Shoubei, was dressed in plain clothes and carried a very simple burden. , already has a lot of gray hair, and like the beard, it is very messy.Obviously, it will take another year to turn 40, but now this tall and tall father is like an old man in his 50s who has gone through vicissitudes!

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why didn't brother come? What about mother? Why didn't mother come? Is grandma sick?"

Seeing such a father at this time, Li Bing couldn't help asking hastily.

Li Shoubei took Li Bing's hand, looked at Yue Pingshuang and said, "Master, let's go in and talk!"

Seeing the huge change in Li Shoubei's appearance and demeanor, Yue Pingshuang was also full of doubts. He hurriedly led Li Shoubei into the room, poured tea for Li Shoubei himself, and asked, "Master Li has something to do, why don't you just speak up!"

After hearing this, Li Shoubei suddenly put down his burden, knelt down in front of Yue Pingshuang, and said tearfully, "Master Yue, I am grateful for the fact that you helped me take care of my little girl these two years. But today, Li still wants to invite Yue Pingshuang Master, help me continue to take care of my Binger. She is the only blood of my Li family. I hope Master Yue can help me raise her and let her live a good life in the future. Li is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay Master's great kindness!"

Seeing Li Shoubei like this, Yue Pingshuang guessed that the Li family must be in trouble.Because Li Bing obviously has an engaged older brother Li Bo, how could it be possible that Li Bing is "the only blood of the Li family"?

Seeing Li Shoubei, a big man crying, and in such a state of appearance, Yue Pingshuang was originally a chivalrous and benevolent person, so he helped Li Shoubei up with both hands and said: "Master Li, you don't have to be like this, Yue is a monk, and this child like Bing'er It's also predestined, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter, just rest assured."

Li Bing also took Li Shoubei's hand at this time, and felt that everything was too unusual. Although he hadn't heard the meaning of "the only bloodline" clearly, he still looked at his father and asked anxiously: "Father, what happened at home?" ? Tell me, daddy?"

Li Shoubei pulled Li Bing over, looked at Li Bing and said: "Binger, remember, from now on, listen to Master Yue's words, learn skills, and be a good person. Dad is going to a faraway place, your grandma, your mother, and you My brother and sister-in-law are all going. They have already left in the car, and Dad is here to say goodbye to you. When Dad arrives at the new place where he takes office, Dad will write to you and Master Yue. You must be good, remember what Dad said If so, okay?"

Li Bing half-believingly asked: "Father, are you really going to take another post? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Li Shoubei said: "Bing'er, remember your father's words, and listen carefully to Master Yue's words in the future. When you turn 15 years old, father will definitely come to pick you up to the place where father takes office!"

After Li Shoubei finished speaking, he took out a small bag from the bag, handed it to Li Bing and said, "Bing'er, in this bag are the living expenses prepared by your father and mother for the past few years, let Master Yue buy anything you need. Remember, father has already sold our house in Chang'an County, so don't go there anymore, just rest with master! You go to practice martial arts first, father still has something to say to your master-in-law. Told you!"

Seeing that his father was serious, Li Bing took the burden full of doubts and walked out slowly.

Seeing that Li Bing had gone out, Yue Pingshuang asked anxiously: "Bing'er has gone out now, Master Li might as well tell me the truth!"

Li Shoubei was full of sadness, and took out a stack of banknotes from his bag, handed it to Yue Pingshuang, and said, "Master Yue, let me tell you now, because of my cowardice, my family has been ruined. But, I just ask you to be sure." Protect my Binger!"

After hearing this, Yue Pingshuang said in shock, "What? The family is ruined? What happened, Master Li, please tell me!"
