My country is dead again [Rebirth]

It was past time when the two arrived in Nangu, and Ye Xinmei had already prepared the ingredients for dinner. The two of them didn't talk for a while, Ye Xinmei had already prepared the dishes, and asked them to go into the house Have a meal.

Remembering that Xie Ruzhuo was also crowned this year, Ye Xinmei asked, "What do you plan to do with Qingzhu's crowning ceremony?"

Shen Che winked at her, meaning "I don't have to worry about the emperor's coronation ceremony." Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo said: "It won't be a big deal, and it's possible if it doesn't happen. The treasury has no money, so we need to save money , and the front line will be fighting at that time, and I don't want to spend my birthday in Beijing."

"How can this be done? It's a big event to be crowned." Ye Xinmei frowned tightly when she heard that, "A person only has one 20th birthday in a lifetime, so if you don't make a fuss, you have to go through the motions. .”

Xie Ruzhuo thought to himself: Coincidentally, Shen Ci and I have had two lives, two times.

But in fact, Xie Ruzhuo did not hold a big crown ceremony in his previous life. The ancestors of the Xie family were all buried in Pingdu. I will give it to him. At that time, she was too sick to get out of bed, and it would be a bit of a shame to do the crown ceremony.

"The mountains and rivers are broken, so they have not been returned. No matter whether it can be done or not, I don't want to do it." Xie Ruzhuo lowered his head and said, "Everyone's words and deeds are watched by everyone. I can't let everyone think that I am slack. ,I can’t let everyone think that I will indulge in the prosperity of Lezhou and forget the shame of Pingdu.”

Shen Che and Ye Xinmei seldom listened to Xie Ruzhuo speak as the emperor, and now they felt very uncomfortable hearing him say that. Xie Ruzhuo only turned 20 in half a year, but he had to shoulder heavy responsibilities every day. Staring at his every move, he couldn't make any mistakes, remembering that he said that he only wanted to be Xie Ruzhuo outside the palace, and also wanted to escape this breathless life for a while.

"Oh, Qingzhu has worked hard." Ye Xinmei felt distressed, touched Xie Ruzhuo's head, and understood why he was so thin and looked so tired, living such a life every day, who can eat and sleep well, There is only love and affection left in her heart, "Qingzhu, if you want, you can come to Auntie's place on your birthday. It doesn't matter if you don't do it in the palace, Auntie will make up for you."

Shen Che, who would have thought a little more before, followed Ye Xinmei and began to indulge in the sigh of "the little emperor is so pitiful". Hearing what Ye Xinmei said, he also started to go straight, opening his mouth and saying: "Yes, yes, yes , come out of the palace, how can the day of crowning be so casual."

Shen Ci hesitated to speak, and wanted to remind Master and Madam that the emperor had to pretend to be sick every time he came out, can you stop tempting His Majesty, it is really not good to always run out!

But under the benevolent eyes of his master and his wife, and Xie Ruzhuo's downcast expression, he only dared to think about it. If he consciously said it, he would not be able to walk out of Nangu alive today.

Xie Ruzhuo got used to it, and the emperor's sneaking out of the capital had become a commonplace for writers. Anyway, his image of being weak and sick in the hearts of the officials was deeply ingrained.

"Really?" Xie Ruzhuo looked at Shen Che and Ye Xinmei with bright eyes, "Shen Ci should not be in Suifang by then, can I, can I still come?"

"You can come whenever you want, it doesn't matter if Xiaoci is not here." Ye Xinmei smiled and patted his hand, then looked at Shen Ci, "Will Xiaoci not let you see us alone? "

Shen Ci hurriedly waved his hand: "How can that be? I dare not!"

Ye Xinmei nodded contentedly with a look of "I'm sorry you don't dare", and said, "That's good."

Seeing that Shen Che also welcomes him, Xie Ruzhuo smiled and agreed. Since he was a child, he rarely celebrates his birthday. No one in the palace can remember the birthday of an unfavored prince. Later he became emperor. It's because his family and country are dilapidated, and he didn't dare to live without that kind of thought. After returning to Pingdu, he got used to it, let alone think about it. In fact, he didn't even eat a bowl of Changshou noodles on his birthday for so many years.

Sometimes he feels that he has gone through two lives, beyond life and death, and his heart is so hard that there will be no cracks, but sometimes he will touch a soft place for no reason, and some deep emotions will be like this. Coming out like a flood.

Just like at this time, in his previous life, he no longer cared about the indifference of family affection. After working hard for 30 years to raise his nephew, he finally ended up being forced into the palace. In this life, he thought he would care less, but it turned out that he still longed for The comfort of family affection, I hope that loving elders can make up for my childhood illusions about family affection.

Today's dishes are unprecedentedly rich, and Ye Xinmei knew they were going to come together, and prepared for a long time, Xie Ruzhuo naturally gave more face, boasting while eating, coaxing Ye Xinmei from ear to ear, if his appetite was not too small , will definitely eat eight bowls of rice.

After dinner, Shen Che accompanied Ye Xinmei to tidy up, not letting the two of them work. Seeing that the master and his wife were also whispering, Shen Ci took Xie Ruzhuo to the yard and helped fill the water tank in the yard Of course, it was Shen Ci pretending, Xie Ruzhuo looked at it.

"Although I can come to celebrate my birthday with my uncle and aunt, but you will not be there at that time..." Xie Ruzhuo pouted sullenly when he remembered that Shen Ci had not been around when he celebrated his birthday, and he had never lived one in his previous life. Write me a letter, calculate the date, and send it on my birthday."

Shen Ci splashed water five or six times before finally filling the big water tank. He exhaled white air from his mouth, but there was already fine sweat on his forehead. He took a breath and said, "Okay, remember."

Thinking about it carefully from the previous life to the present, he was indeed not by Xie Ruzhuo's side once on his birthday, and he was not able to accompany Xie Ruzhuo on the two occasions when he reached the crown. It was even more regrettable than Xie Ruzhuo's. One month earlier?"

"No, it's nothing. It's good to have uncle and aunt to accompany me." Xie Ruzhuo couldn't see Shen Ci's apologetic face, and instead comforted him, "It's just a birthday, and we still have many birthdays to celebrate in the future. , When you go to the south of the Yangtze River, you will make up for me what you owed before."

Shen Ci caressed his brows and eyes, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I owe you first, and I will make up for it later."

"Yan Liu." Xie Ruzhuo called Shen Ci's watch, turned to look at the door, it was still closed, Master and Mistress didn't know whether they were packing things inside or whispering, so he boldly hugged Shen Ci Ci, rubbing his head in Shen Ci's arms with attachment, "Can I call you like this from now on?"

When there were only two people in the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo would call him by his name. When the love was strong, he would always like to tease Xie Ruzhuo. He said one word to His Majesty, but he did "rebellious" things. Xie Ruzhuo would also call him General Shen. Even calling him by his first name and adding "I'm going to kill you", but when the two people are in a comfortable atmosphere, they will call each other's name and kiss each other's lips lightly.

So in the matter of how to call the other party, Shen Ci cooperates with Xie Ruzhuo very well. In short, it needs to be changed at any time according to the different scenes and atmospheres, and there is no fixed answer.

Now Xie Ruzhuo feels that the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, and he is in a good mood, so he wants to call him Biaozi. If he teases Xie Ruzhuo and makes people blush, Xie Ruzhuo will definitely call him by name and surname again, for a long time Time will never remember his name again.

"As long as your Majesty likes it." Shen Ci had already seen through the essence of the matter and was very aware of current affairs, "You can call me whatever you want."

The night fell, and it was time for the two of them to return to Beijing. Shen Che remembered something and asked Shen Ci: "You said you were going to Cangzhou in March, do you still want to go?"

Shen Ci nodded and said: "Go, it's been agreed, and Qingzhu also agrees. If you want to fight to go to Chizhou, it will be more difficult than before, and it will be a decisive battle. The current [-] battalion is not so interesting. If we can further highlight our advantages and turn this army into another Beidi cavalry, then Xu Zishen's Jiangbei Army really doesn't have to be afraid anymore."

"Then you will see Pei Yuankai every day." Shen Che frowned, "Be careful."

"Don't worry." Speaking of this name, Shen Ci's eyes also turned cold, "As long as he doesn't mess with me, I won't mess with him."

Xie Ruzhuo also heard it, and said to Shen Che: "Uncle, don't worry, I will send a trustworthy person from the ceremonial supervisor to supervise the army, and I will not let Pei Yuankai bully Shen Ci."

Shen Che was a little funny, why did the emperor think that others could still bully Shen Ci, Shen Ci was the only one who made others cry. He dared to believe that if Pei Yuankai provoked Shen Ci, Shen Ci would still do it directly.

Although this kind of behavior is difficult to end afterwards, it is not a disadvantage.

Shen Ci also smiled, pulled Xie Ruzhuo onto the horse, bid farewell to the master and wife, and took the dozen or so bags of food stuffed by the wife, as if wishing to empty out all the edible things at home, and handed them over Xie Ruzhuo needs to cover it with a thick blanket. Thousands of people remind you to keep warm and be safe on the road. Xiaoci, you have to take care of Qingqi so that no one will fall. If it is too cold, go find a carriage.

"Understood." Shen Ci still only nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything else, shook the reins and rode away.

The wind at night was colder than during the day, Xie Ruzhuo shrank into the cloak as he did when he came here, then shook out the thick blanket and wrapped it around his body, after thinking for a while, he asked Shen Ci: "Can I wrap the blanket for you?"

"I'm not cold." Shen Ci stopped his hand that was about to pass the blanket, "Don't get sick from the cold, or Master and Madam will break my legs."

Xie Ruzhuo rubbed the wound on Shen Ci's hand that was frozen and cracked during the battle in December, and said, "If it's not cold, why are your hands full of wounds?"

"The wind is too strong, there's nothing I can do." Shen Ci said, "A young master like Yue Tingchuan still has his hand cracked, and he didn't say anything."

It was indeed too cold at night. Xie Ruzhuo was wrapped in a cloak and covered with a blanket, his hands were still as cold as ice, and there was no heat on his body. He touched Shen Ci's hand holding the rein, the temperature was still higher than his, and said: "Then If you feel cold, don't take it hard, we can hire a carriage and ride back to the capital together."

"No need." Only he followed Xie Ruzhuo, and Shen Ci never dared to let strangers approach them. "This kind of weather often marches, and sometimes fights at night. I'm used to it and can hold on."

Xie Ruzhuo let out a "huh" and sat quietly for a while, feeling drowsy again in the cold, so he slept all the way back by relying on Shen Ci, and Shen Ci carried the horse that he had ridden for several hours back to the palace. At that time, Xie Ruzhuo felt guilty and missed Shen Ci's warm and broad chest.

It is more comfortable than him sleeping in bed, and I want to let General Shen hug him to sleep every day.

The author has something to say: Xiao Xie: After half a year, I can sneak out of the capital again!Booked in advance!

Xiao Shen: We dare not say, nor do we dare to ask.

Xiao Xie: From now on, you will hug me when you sleep!

Xiao Shen: That arm is sore...not...okay.
