such as Yue Linyuan

When we returned to Xiefang Hall, it was already dawn.

Since it was the first lunar month and the court was closed, they first went to the imperial pond to wash up briefly, and then went back to the sleeping hall to rest.

This night, they waited for Huangfu Liangyu to wake up, and they didn't stay idle in the side hall. They dealt with some government affairs that could be postponed. They stayed up all night like this, and they were naturally exhausted.

Chu Yuezhi's displeasure was obvious, he didn't want to talk to Si Yuanting when he was in the bath, and after returning to the bed in the dormitory, Chu Yuezhi turned his back and struggled a bit when Si Yuanting was pulled into his arms.

"That's just a random agreement made by the parents. It's not a formal marriage contract. It was never mentioned again after that. I never felt at ease. I actually forgot if she didn't mention it." Si Yuanting buckled Chu Yuezhi In his arms, he explained softly in his ear, "After entering the palace, all I care about is you, how can I remember others."

"Why isn't it a formal marriage contract? How serious is the father of the two of you, if he didn't really mean it, how could there be such an agreement?" Chu Yuezhi's voice was so muffled that he couldn't get angry in front of the Huangfu brothers and sisters. I could only bear it all the time, but the more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, "You already have a marriage contract, why do you still accept my jade pendant? You lied to me that I wanted to marry you when I was nine years old, aren't you proud of yourself!"

His chest trembled slightly. Hearing Chu Yuezhi's angry words, Si Yuanting somehow felt that he was very cute, and said, "Chu Qi, I didn't know before that you are so jealous."

"Laugh, you're still laughing!" Chu Yuezhi turned over in his arms, glared at him and said, "You're still happy when I'm not happy?"

"Well, I'm very happy." Si Yuanting admitted, the bed had put down the shading curtains, and although it was dawn, the inside of the bed was not lit. They hugged and talked, even if the husband and wife quarreled. Share intimacy.Touching Chu Yuezhi's face, Si Yuanting said: "I used to never think that I would have such a life. I didn't think about it when I was 13 years old when I received the jade pendant, and I didn't think about it after I was 14 years old. It's more than a year." I confirmed your intentions before, and I didn't think about it. I always thought that even if you didn't want to kill me, I should pick a suitable time to end it myself. But a few days ago, you got into trouble with me because of your coldness At that moment, I suddenly realized that I really didn’t want to die.”

It's not because of taking the Gu medicine that life and death are shared, but because every day when he opens his eyes, he begins to have expectations.

I look forward to seeing Chu Yuezhi when I open my eyes, looking forward to hearing Chu Yuezhi's different names for him, looking forward to reforming and discussing policy reforms with Chu Yuezhi; he is real, and I have hope for the future again , I want to live longer, to see more unseen scenery in this world with Chu Yuezhi, and I also want to see Daheng Kingdom become like the ideal they set when they were young, with good government and harmonious people in 30 years. Guotai Minan.

In the past, he hated himself, hated this rotten and filthy long life, and everything he saw in his eyes was gray; but now, because of Chu Yuezhi and that hot emotion, he saw colors in his eyes again, which once surprised him for a short time. The fiery redness of his youth once again ignited his dead life.

He knows that there are still many people who look down on him because of his former status as a eunuch and scold him behind his back, but he doesn't care anymore, as long as Chu Yuezhi is by his side, he will have the hardest armor and will never Hurt by a past and foul language that once seemed a shame.

"Chu Qi, Imperial Physician Lu told me that if I take good care of my body, I will be able to live safely past 60 years old. If you are careful and strive for success alone, when I am 60 years old, you pass the throne to him, and we go out of the palace, okay?" Si Yuan Ting's arms hugging Chu Yuezhi tightened a little more, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes shone brightly, which was the greatest expectation for the future in his heart, "I am 36 years old now, let's do it for the people and for the Daheng Kingdom again." After 24 years of struggle, we will go out of the palace to live our own lives, let go of all the burdens on us, just like all ordinary couples in the world, spend the rest of our lives wandering around mountains and rivers, idling with clouds and wild cranes, okay?"

For so many years, Si Yuanting has never thought about himself. He has always been for the people, for the Daheng Kingdom, for the wronged Si family, and even for Chu Yuezhi who abandoned him. I struggled to support that ideal and ambition.

Looking at the light shining in Si Yuanting's eyes slightly absent-mindedly, Chu Yuezhi couldn't explain the reason, but his nose felt sore, and even his chest was sore. After a while, he suppressed the choking in his throat and said, "Si Jiu, this is the first Once you asked me your desire."

The bed was dark due to lack of light, and there was a hot Pixiu gold stove beside the bed. The soft mattress covered the two of them, keeping the warmth in each other's hearts. Chu Yuezhi rested his forehead on Si Yuanting's shoulder, and He stretched out his arms to hug Si Yuanting's waist, and said in a low voice: "You have always thought about others but not yourself. I have thought about it many times. That year when the envoys wanted to arrest me, you just leave me alone. You don't care about me." I won't, I won't... I know that my father has already moved to ruin the Si family, and one day he will find someone to blame the old minister, but if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be deposed, you wouldn't Entering the palace as a eunuch was abused by so many people. Every time I think about how you survived these years, I feel hatred, hate myself for being incompetent, hate myself for being blinded by ignorance..."

If Si Yuanting had handed him over to the envoys at that time, the Si family would have been punished as well. There is a high probability that the old emperor would have punished the Si family on the grounds that Si Yuanting had failed to protect the prince. No matter what he did, the Si family would not be able to escape. Bad luck, but at least Si Yuanting will not be left with a permanent disability, let alone enter the palace as a eunuch and be insulted by Chu Yuelei later.

Patting Chu Yuezhi's shoulder lightly, Si Yuanting rubbed Chu Yuezhi's soft earlobe to ask him to look up at him, and then flicked Chu Yuezhi's forehead with his knuckles, only to see that his eye circles were red. He stared at him and said: "What are you thinking about, even if you give me a chance to do it a hundred times, I will not hand you over to the envoy. Even if you have not been emotional at that time, I still treat you as my own brother. How can I do that?" Let your own brother be ravaged by a beast? Don't ever have such thoughts in the future. I have never regretted what happened back then. Even if it was to serve Chu Yuelei, it was my own choice. You don't have to Take all the blame on yourself. Even if I have a disability, even if I can't let it go, I still have you. You let me be Si Yuanting again, marry me to be my wife, and never have the slightest dislike for me. This is enough for me, I have nothing else to ask for in this life."

He has survived for many years, he knows that many things are not satisfactory, he knows that everyone's life will eventually leave irreparable regrets, he walked alone in the rough half of his life, and all he wanted was to be worthy of the ancestors of the Si family Zong Wuzhen had ideals and ambitions in his heart; because he felt that he could no longer hold on, he tried his best to send Chu Yuezhi to the throne of God. At that time, he thought that if he could die at the hands of Chu Yuezhi, it would be a relief for him , As for the pile of loess returning to the mountains, rivers and earth after death, he just wants to be a clean person in the next life.

When did he really let go of his thoughts and think about it slowly? He didn't know, maybe it was the day when he let go of the identity shackles of the eunuch and the admiral of the East Factory, or maybe it was the night when he and Chu Yue worshiped the heaven and the earth in the imperial mausoleum. Or maybe earlier, when Chu Yuezhi gave him the White Jade Guanyin.

The wound in his heart was healed bit by bit by Chu Yuezhi's heart. With Chu Yuezhi by his side for a day, he would never give up the world.

"Chu Qi promised Si Jiu that as soon as Si Jiu's 60th birthday comes, Chu Qi will give Shen Du the throne. Then we go out of the palace, and wherever Si Jiu wants to go, Chu Qi will accompany Si Jiu to go." Chu Yuezhi said Responding to Si Yuanting is also a promise, this is the first time Si Yuanting asked him for himself, let alone 24 years later, even if he is asked to give the throne to someone else now, he is willing.

Si Yuanting slightly hooked his lips, held Chu Yuezhi's lips in his mouth, and said deliberately: "Are you still jealous? If Chu Qi thinks that Si Jiu doesn't keep his husband's morals, what if Si Jiu doesn't go out to meet people in the future?"

Chu Yuezhi had a face full of embarrassment, pushed the person away and said: "What nonsense, my chief minister, how can I not see people."

"Chu Qi is so jealous, Si Jiu is afraid that if he is not careful, he will make Chu Qi unhappy again." After Si Yuanting finished speaking, he blew lightly next to Chu Yuezhi's ear, and whispered in his ear. Said: "Although in my heart, my husband likes Madam's appearance when she is in trouble, it is very cute."

"But..." Chu Yuezhi almost choked on his own saliva, and said angrily, "I'm such an indomitable man, how can I describe it as cute?"

"Why not?" Si Yuanting asked back, and as he spoke, he pulled up a strand of Chu Yuezhi's loose black hair, then pulled his own long hair, twisted his fingers a few times to tie the two strands into a knot, Then he smiled lightly and said to Chu Yuezhi: "In my eyes, from childhood to adulthood, you always look the same when you lose your temper. You are cute and you don't know it."

Chu Yuezhi looked at the tangle of the two people's long hair, and was also stupid, and said: "Who has a hair knot like you, what if it can't be untied?"

"If you can't untie it, you can't untie it. Does Chu Qi still want to separate from Si Jiu?" Si Yuanting indifferently pecked and kissed Chu Yuezhi's nose, hugged him tightly again, and closed his eyes and said: "Go to sleep. Although the court is closed in the first month, we still have to discuss the imperial examination with Wu Shangshu in the afternoon."

When dealing with government affairs last night, Chu Yuezhi suddenly said that both the general examination in February and the palace examination in March would be cancelled. It was decided that the next imperial examination would be held as usual, but last night Chu Yuezhi suddenly said that it would be cancelled. He couldn't understand Chu Yuezhi's thoughts for a while, so he had to say that it is best to discuss this matter with Wu Yonglian, Minister of Rites. resolution.

It was warm in the bed tent, Chu Yuezhi buried his face in Si Yuanting's neck, yawned wearily, and then hugged Si Yuanting to sleep without saying a word, he didn't really care about the two being entangled. Xiaojie's hair, for him, it would be great if the knot could never be untied.

Longevity, no doubt about love.
