At the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, Qi Wu became a little curious about Qi Jiang's recent situation after seeing the four noble concubines present.

"If you want to know, I'll ask someone to ask later." Shang Fuheng said, pushing a small stack of peeled shrimps in front of Qi Wu, "Eat first."

Shang Fuheng not only peeled the prawns, but also set up a plate. The prawns were arranged in a circle on the plate, and the peeled shells were neatly piled up in the middle. Shang Fuheng also took a small dish from another dish A plum blossom on top of a shrimp shell...

"Are you mourning for the shrimp that was eaten?" Qi Wu laughed, took a shrimp from the side, dipped it in vinegar and ate it.

Shang Fuheng cleared his throat: "I think you have to feed me one, after all I've been peeling it for so long."

Qi Wu raised his eyebrows: "...I really didn't expect that His Highness King Lang would have a habit of showing affection in front of others."

Shang Fuheng hooked his lips.

After all, Qi Wu still picked up a shrimp, dipped it in some soy sauce, and then fed it to Shang Fuheng's lips.Shang Fuheng doesn't like the smell of vinegar very much, he finds it choking.

When the New Year's Eve banquet was about to end, Shang Wenjin spoke up as expected, saying that he missed seeing him for two years, and hoped to play chess with the emperor after the New Year's Eve festival today.Shang Fuheng complied, then turned his head and whispered to Qi Wu where he could start to visit this palace city later.

Leaving the main hall after the banquet, Qi Wu walked slowly along the road that Shang Fuheng told him.

The snow stopped before the palace banquet started, but now it has started to fall again, Qi Wu stepped on the snow with an umbrella, step by step.It was quite an ordinary thing, but Qi Wu found it very interesting while walking. Sometimes he stepped on the snow with small steps, and sometimes he took big steps. On the way, because he only looked down at his feet, he almost bumped into the Arrived at a tree.

In the end Qi Wu stopped in front of a water pavilion in the imperial garden, planning to wait here for Shang Fuheng to come to him.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and there is no one else in the imperial garden except for the red lanterns.Qi Wu stared at the red lantern for a while, and a series of ghost stories flashed through his mind... It didn't mean festive at all, but it made him hiss lightly.

"Let's make a rabbit, if Shang Fuheng hasn't come after the pile..." At that time, he will stuff the snow rabbit into Shang Fuheng's collar.

Throwing the oil-paper umbrella in the water pavilion, Qi Wu walked into the snow and slowly piled up rabbits.

Sensing someone approaching, Qi Wu followed the footsteps and looked over, only to find that the person who came was not Shang Fuheng, but a servant in court attire.

The servant smiled arrogantly, and came up and said: "Young Master Ah Wu, our family is the emperor's close servant, the emperor is very interested in your acquaintance with His Highness Prince Lang, and would like to invite you to have a private conversation tomorrow. For the convenience of Mr. Ah Wu, the emperor said that we will meet in the Zuiting Pavilion outside the palace, but the emperor does not want His Royal Highness to misunderstand, so I hope that Mr. Ah Wu will not bring this matter up with His Highness Lang."

Qi Wu: "..." Wow, so exciting.

Did not hear Qi Wu's response, the servant frowned: "Mr. Ah Wu, did you hear everything our family said?"

Qi Wu blinked, then nodded.

So the servant turned around and left, showing his confidence and arrogance.

Qi Wu shrugged his shoulders, turned around and continued to build rabbits... It's just that the snow is really cold, and the more he piled snowballs, the more the image of this "snow rabbit" went astray, and he still watched Shang Fuheng start It was easier, he was responsible for adding the rabbit's eyes at the end, and if he was in a good mood, he would give the snow rabbit a carrot.

Halfway through the pile of rabbits, Qi Wu suddenly noticed that the snow had stopped. He raised his head to see that the snow was actually still falling, but Shang Fuheng came over and was covering his head with an umbrella.

Shang Fuheng looked down at him, then at the snow rabbit under his hand, and said with a smile: "A Wu, your rabbits are so piled up that it matches my painting ability very well."

Qi Wu: "..."

He casually grabbed the snow and stuffed it into Shang Fuheng's hands, Qi Wu skipped over the topic of how well he made rabbits, stood up and said, "Why are you so quiet when you walk, who are you scaring at night?"

Shang Fuheng raised his eyebrows: "Scared you?"

Qi Wusha nodded meaningfully: "As soon as I looked up, I saw you and the red lantern behind you, why did you come to take me out of the palace and go home, you just came to ask me to stage a ghostly relationship. "

Shang Fuheng couldn't stop laughing, moved to Qi Wu's lips and kissed, then faked a cough and said seriously: "To be honest, I just came to pick up my lover from past and present lives."

Qi Wu was led forward by him, and after walking for a while, he suddenly remembered: "Hey, my umbrella is still in the pavilion."

"An umbrella is enough for the two of us to keep out the wind and snow." Shang Fuheng hugged Qi Wu tighter.

Qi Wu didn't know what to do, and pushed him with a smile: "You hug me like this, I can't walk by myself... By the way, there is one more thing, your nephew of the emperor asked me to meet tomorrow, and he just asked his servant to inform me , and told me not to tell you, my attitude is so arrogant, I'm afraid your nephew will pretend to be so arrogant in front of me."

Shang Fuheng nodded and gave him some advice: "Do you still remember the appearance of that servant, tell my nephew when we meet tomorrow, transfer that servant to pour the slop."

Qi Wu raised his eyebrows: "I want to accept the invitation to go to your nephew's appointment?"

"If he is still in the mood to meet you tomorrow." Shang Fuheng smiled, "Where did he ask you to go?"

Qi Wu recalled: "Drunk... Zui Ting Ge? It sounds like a restaurant."

"It's a restaurant that all the dignitaries in Wendu City like to go to. The taste is average, mainly because the price is expensive." Shang Fuheng said, "Let's go sit down tomorrow, taste the taste of a cabbage and a tael of gold, and take a look at the emperor by the way." The zealous heart is gone."

One cabbage and one tael of gold?Dare to taste mediocre?

Qi Wu sighed in disgust: "I won't waste the money, let alone you are penniless, you can eat at home tomorrow."

Hearing this, Shang Fuheng couldn't help laughing: "A Wu really has the style of a housekeeper."

When going out of the palace gate, the carriage that Qi Wu and Shang Fuheng were riding passed by another carriage.

"Entering the palace so late?" Qi Wu muttered casually.

Shang Fuheng put down the curtain of the car to prevent more wind and snow from rolling in: "It's the car of the Minister of Military Affairs. It should be that Liu Lu was summoned when he was at home to celebrate the New Year. The emperor really lost his composure tonight when he called people into the palace on New Year's Eve. Well, I thought he was at least a little patient until tomorrow."

"Ask what?" Qi Wu blinked.

Shang Fuheng chuckled softly: "Just now I had a great time playing chess with the emperor. Before I left, I told him that your name will be recorded on the jade certificate in the future, and your name will be called Qi Wu. It's just that his brain is not very good. It seems that I can't remember, I can only let him ask Liu Lu very regretfully, and I also regret not being able to see him turn pale with shock because of this matter."

Qi Wu grabbed Shang Fuheng's sleeve and remembered: "You will tell me what you said, but you haven't told me anything since you came out from the emperor's side."

The wide sleeves of the robe were held by Qi Wu like this, Qi Wu was still staring at him vividly, his beautiful eyes were full of curiosity, Shang Fuheng's throat moved slightly, and he held Qi Wu's hand slowly kneading.

"In addition to your name, I also told him three things." Shang Fuheng said slowly, "He was so angry that he didn't even want to play chess. It didn't take long for the whole game to start. His It’s very frustrating to put on a side effect, so I flipped the chessboard before I left... But I was very friendly at the beginning, after all, I am an elder, so the first thing I did was to care about his health .”

Qi Wu raised his eyebrows: "Why do you care? The exact words."

Shang Fuheng was very indifferent: "The original words are... I heard that since the former empress passed away, you, the emperor, can no longer conduct human affairs?"

"..." Qi Wu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Shang Fuheng also smiled, stretched out his hand to lift Qi Wu's chin, leaned forward and kissed it lightly.

Qi Wu couldn't stop laughing, turned his head to avoid Shang Fuheng's kiss, and asked with a trembling smile: "How do you know about this kind of thing?"

Shang Fuheng had no choice but to pinch Qi Wu's chin so that he couldn't hide.

After a deep kiss, Shang Fuheng replied to Qi Wu: "There is an old Taoist priest next to Shang Wenjing, who was kept in the dark before he became the emperor. He hid it like a trump card. In fact, the old Taoist priest is nothing. Great skill, but he has some understanding of pharmacology, and he is very good at putting on a show, just to look at people. He only talked to the old Taoist about the things that Shang Wenjin didn't mention, because after all, someone has to give him a diagnosis and treatment. "

"It's just a pity that although Shang Wenjing is strict with his mouth, the old Taoist priest and his apprentices are not strict. There are a lot of gossip in and out of the palace, but no one dares to go to the emperor to ask if you are not doing it. .”

Qi Wu buried his face in Shang Fuheng's shoulder and smiled: "...you dare."

Shang Fuheng clicked his tongue lightly: "I am caring for the younger generation's body out of good intentions. In fact, although there are many rumors, no one is panicked. Anyway, Shang Wenjing has quite a few children, and some ministers even privately said that the emperor would not give up. Let’s not raise it, it’s good to spend a little more time on political affairs. But Shang Wenjing himself obviously didn’t think so much, when I asked in that palace just now, he immediately made a wrong pawn.”

Qi Wu raised his head to look at Shang Fuheng, and frowned at him: "He admitted it?"

"Naturally, he didn't, and he just said that he just couldn't let go of the former queen, and he was no longer interested in pleasure-seeking things for the time being, and only wanted to benefit the people... Anyway, I heard him seem to be criticizing, saying that I was greedy for pleasure. "Shang Fuheng's fingertips slowly moved down Qi Wu's cheeks, and pinched his earlobe smoothly.

Then Shang Fuheng reflected on himself: "I think, maybe what he said is a little reasonable, I am really greedy for pleasure now, and my mind is full of..."

"Don't think about it, I haven't finished listening to the story yet, so tell me quickly." Qi Wu patted Shang Fuheng's paw away.

Shang Fuheng smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay...after caring about the physical condition of cheap nephew, then naturally it's time to reminisce about the past."

Ten years ago, there were internal troubles in Wendu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and external troubles on the northern and southern borders. At that time, the emperor was Shang Fuheng's uncle, and he was a compatriot with Shang Fuheng's father, King Huai, and his mother. The father of Emperor Shang Wenjing.The emperor was seriously ill, and other princes of the same generation in the clan were in turmoil. Among them, King Yike was very disobedient.After all, King Ke once had great hopes of ascending to the throne.

Internal strife and foreign aggression abounded. Regardless of dissuasion, the prince of the Eastern Palace put on armor and went into battle to kill the enemy in person. In the end, the news of his death was sent back to Wendu, which caused even more chaos.In the midst of all kinds of grief, the seriously ill late emperor was like a flash of light, and he persevered on the dragon chair for nearly two years in good spirits.

It was also during those two years that Shang Fuheng took the lead on the battlefield.The external aggression was calmed down, but the internal aggression was suppressed by the former emperor.Afterwards, the late emperor passed away, and Shang Fuheng, as the last person the late emperor saw before his death, read out the edict of succession, and Shang Wenjing ascended the throne.

"Most people think that the first prince was seriously injured and died when he was defeated on the battlefield, but it is not true." Shang Fuheng said slowly to Qi Wu, "The first prince was seriously injured at that time, but there were soldiers in the camp. The doctor who has been a doctor for many years did not die from the injury, but only needed to rest in bed. The prince died of poison, and the poison was attached to a letter sent from Wendu to the border. The letter was written by Shang Wenjing and sent by people around him. "

"It's just a letter from home. Shang Wenjing doesn't want to kill his father who is the most beneficial to him, and it is so easy to be discovered. The problem lies with the person who sent the letter for Shang Wenjing. Wen Du has been lurking in secret for many years, and then sent a letter as an opportunity to cast a lot of retaliation, and finally succeeded."

"The secret agent heard the news of the death of the first prince, so he wanted to escape, but was detained when he was about to escape. At first, in order to calm people's hearts, he only announced that the first prince was seriously injured and died, but later found out this The matter has something to do with Shang Wenjing... Shang Wenjing is the first son and only child of the former crown prince. Although the former emperor was saddened by the loss of his son, after all, he was gone, and he couldn't match up with his own grandson, so he put the matter on hold If you don’t mention it, a few people who know the truth will also keep silent.”

Qi Wu blinked.

Shang Fuheng sighed softly: "In these years, Shang Wenjing always thought that only the late emperor and a few senior ministers knew that he was involved in the events of those years. In fact, before the late emperor passed away, he made this matter a reality. Speak to me."

"Now that Shang Wenjing knows that you also know the inside story back then, I'm afraid he won't let you go." Qi Wu pinched Shang Fuheng's cheek.

Shang Fuheng smiled lightly: "Yeah, after I narrated these past events, Shang Wenjing wanted to kill me immediately, and his thoughts were all written on his face, pretending that the goodwill he had pretended for many years was gone. I don't care if I tear my face or not."

"You have said all this, and people still care about tearing their faces?" Qi Wu tutted softly.

"But in the end he still smiled honestly and sent me away." Shang Fuheng was noncommittal, then slightly raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Wu and asked, "Guess why?"

Qi Wu was too lazy to use his brain: "You just said that you talked with him about three things, this is only two, and there is one more?"

"What makes him let go of his murderous intent is that it is too difficult to kill me, and even if he succeeds in killing me by chance, he will not be able to bear the consequences afterwards. If I die, the secrets of the first two things will no longer be secrets, and I will keep It is enough for these two secrets to spread throughout the country... together with the true will left by the late emperor." Shang Fuheng smiled.

Qi Wu was slightly taken aback.

"No matter what, Shang Wenjing didn't know people clearly, and indirectly killed the most cherished eldest son of the late emperor. The late emperor can see that Shang Wenjing is his own grandson and the only blood left by the eldest son, so he can save his life. Shang Wenjing's reputation, but he can't pass on the throne to Shang Wenjing, that would make him feel that Shang Wenjing killed his biological father but also got the benefit of countless people flocking to him."

"There are few available people above the court, and even more in the clan, so Ah Wu, guess whose name is on the last emperor's edict?"

Qi Wu raised his eyes and said softly: "...You said earlier that you should be a good person in my eyes, I can admit this statement a little bit."

Shang Fuheng couldn't help laughing for a moment, rubbed Qi Wu's cheek and said: "Yes, it's my name. But in fact, I'm not suitable either. I can read the Art of War and go to the battlefield, but I can't be the emperor. Not resting, the frontier needs me more than the court."

"At that time, most of the clan's children were cowardly and incompetent. Shang Wenjing was considered to be the first among them. At least he wanted to be the emperor and be praised as a wise king. I never believed in ghosts, gods and Buddhas. The former emperor It's gone, it's gone, and he can't see who sits on the throne. So I pushed Shang Wenjing to the throne... Over the years, it has been proved that although his ability is mediocre, he is better than other clan children anyway. Besides, Shang Wenjing is a person who wants to save face, but he looks forward and backward and dare not do too many stupid things."

Secrets of the body, indirect patricide, passing on the imperial edict.

"Shang Wenjin is actually not a fool, otherwise Song Wanqing and the Song family would not have watched him have a bright future and fought with him for so many years. These three things are enough for him to know that he can be safe and sound. Sitting on the throne for so long is because I am not interested in the throne, otherwise I would have sat on that seat with dignity seven years ago. Even if I gave up seven years ago, now I can easily get it back if I want it. In contrast, he is not capable of taking my life."

"Instead of thinking about how to kill me or make trouble for me every day, he should give me a living. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the palace city... I was able to push him to the throne seven years ago, and now I can also put him on the throne." It is not difficult to choose a cowardly and conservative son of the clan."

"Before I was too kind to him, so that he could only see that I was a great master, but he couldn't remember that I did have the ability to change the world... He really regarded me as a loyal and good person gone."

Shang Fuheng wanted to rub Qi Wu's head, but it was very inconvenient for him to tie his hair.Shang Fuheng paused, and simply took off the jade hairpin from Qi Wu's hair, and then loosened his hair.

Qi Wu: "...Your hands are itchy, aren't you?"

Shang Fuheng smiled and lowered his head, kissing Qi Wu lightly.

Pressing against Qi Wu's cheek, Shang Fuheng said: "Don't worry, I guarantee that my cheap nephew will not dare to think of us again. If he still wants to trouble us, I really don't mind changing my nephew to be the emperor. No bloodshed, the kind of change of ownership that only Shang Wenjing would cry...I promise you, live a long and reckless life."

"En." Qi Wu stretched out his hand, trying to undo Shang Fuheng's bundled hair with an eye for an eye.

Shang Fuheng sensed his intention, and said with a smile: "Why is Ah Wu so clumsy, he can't tie his hair, he can't even take off the hair crown, he really is a delicate young man who needs to be served."

Qi Wu was not convinced by these words, he pushed Shang Fuheng away and sat up straight, then stared at Shang Fuheng's hair crown and looked at it: "You lower down, I can't see it... What are you, I think it's very simple when you make it... Can't you just use hairpins? You can only use hairpins to tie my hair..."

Unable to get it done, Qi Wu gave up, and began to interrogate Shang Fuheng in order to stop talking: "Why do you only use hairpins to tie my hair? Are you lazy?"

Hearing this, Shang Fuheng smiled lightly and kissed him again.

"In order to be like now, if you fiddle with it lightly, you don't have time to react, let alone resist, and your hair will fall apart." After a long time, Shang Fuheng said with his arms around Qi Wu.
