Empress Chu

This is the chest, the heart.

"I just wanted to see your injuries," she said softly.

He fought to the death several times before and after, and Xie Yanlai's body was covered with scars.

But he won't let her see it.

"What's so interesting about injuries." Xie Yan said, "Don't look at it."

Chu Zhao raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Wouldn't you let me see it in the bridal chamber? Don't you take off your clothes in the bridal chamber?"

Why did he speak more and more unscrupulously, Xie Yan laughed angrily: "I'll take off the lights after I turn off the lights, is that all right?"

Chu Zhao thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I can still touch—"

As he spoke, he broke free his hand, and made a gesture to touch Xie Yanlai.

Xie Yanlai hugged her, and Chu Zhao could feel his chest rising and falling as he fell on top of him.

Why are they discussing the bridal chamber?Still turn off the lights, strip off?

"Don't worry." Xie Yanlai smiled and hugged her, patted her on the back, "Don't feel sorry for me, I don't feel sorry for these injuries, I don't care about my body, when I fight Will be very happy, even expecting to be killed."

Then he can get rid of this skin sac branded with Xie's blood.

He could just be a mother's child.

Chu Zhao understood what he meant, he didn't cherish himself at all, and over time he became a ferocious beast that could only fight in Xie's cage.

In that life, he died like this.

She didn't even know he existed in the world.

Chu Zhao hugged him tightly: "But it can't be like this in the future, your body will not belong to you alone, it will still be mine."

It still sounded a bit weird, Xie Yanlai snorted: "Why don't you do that? Don't you go to die several times without caring about it."

Chu Zhao coughed: "Actually, it's not that you don't care about your death, it's just bad luck and nothing you can do about it."

She looked up at Xie Yanlai.

"I didn't want to die then either."

"I don't even think about it now."

"I dont want you to go."

Xie Yanlai said: "I'm talking about the past, and then I fought desperately to survive, because when I thought of being separated from you by life and death, I was very scared. , if we can’t live, we’ll die together.”

Chu Zhao was quite touched at first, but he laughed again when he heard this, and said, "Can't you think of something better? We have all suffered so much, so can't we live well?"

Xie Yanlai snorted: "I think you just don't want to live and die with me."

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I live and die with you, I haven't even seen your body—"

Why did this topic turn here again? Xie Yan came to laugh, her chest trembled, then turned the girl over, put her on the ground, and kissed her.

For them now, the kiss is no longer harsh, and it will no longer make both of them almost suffocate themselves to death.

It's just that it still makes people dizzy and fragmented, and they just want to smash it up and put it together.

Chu Zhao planned to become a real husband and wife with him.

Although she suffered from love, it was because she didn't know love. Now that she knows it, she loves without hesitation.

It's just that Xie Yanlai's injury was too serious, and she had been raised for a long time.

At this moment, feeling the fiery reaction of the man on his body, Chu Zhao leaned close to his ear from the dizziness: "Let's go back to the room."

The next moment she was picked up, but she didn't go into the room, but was placed on the ground, Xie Yanlai reached out and patted her back, to slow her down, and also to relax herself.

"I'm going to go," he said.

Chu Zhao was furious: "Where are you going?"

Xie Yanlai laughed, and hugged the girl who had exploded for a moment, and said: "Go home, Deng Yi is not there now, I plan to repair his house and make it ours, so that our family will be bigger gone."

Chu Zhao came back to his senses, heaved a sigh of relief, but was not angry: "Well, why are you talking about repairing the house? There is no rush to repair the house."

Xie Yanlai looked at her: "I am in a hurry to marry you."

He lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the corner of the eyebrow.

Chapter 21 Chunsheng

In the spring of the fifth year of Jianning, the capital was extremely lively.

In fact, this excitement has been going on since last winter.

The students who participated in the imperial examinations flocked to the capital one after another. Some of the students were concentrating on preparing for the exams, but most of them were attracted by the bustle of the capital.

Moreover, women will also participate in the imperial examination, so in addition to the men making friends with literature, there are also many competitions with women.

I don’t know if it’s because the Great Xia has been fighting for many years, and the temper of the scholars has also changed. A gentleman not only uses his mouth, but also his hands. A good literary meeting will turn into a scolding war, and cursing will become a war. At the martial arts meeting, a group of scholars tore and tumbled together, without any elegance.

What's even more speechless is that it's not just men.

The same can be said for a few literary meetings with women, of course, the difference is that the servants and maids brought by the women will beat people in the end, and the women will shout and command.

The officials in the capital kept running around day and night, dealing with fights everywhere.

They can't be caught, they can't be beaten, they can't even reason with these scholars, and even the last group of people will come to argue with the government.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion had a headache.

However, there are no dignitaries from aristocratic families to make trouble—a family who can study, especially cultivate women who can participate in the literary society, is either rich or noble.

There are dignitaries everywhere at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and ten of his colleagues can bump into ten in one street. The children in Beijing are the most difficult to control, and accidents happen to one person at every turn, and the whole family quarrels.

But the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were annoyed because they didn't come to make trouble this time, and even went to these people's homes to ask your sons and daughters how to fight and make trouble.

It is about the parents of the nephews who don't care, saying that fighting for the sake of learning can be called fighting?That's called learning.

As for the parents who are concerned with the girls, they don't even care, and ask who said that girls can't argue?It's all for studying, men can do it, and of course women can too, the queen back then——

When they heard the words of the queen back then, the officials immediately stopped asking and turned around and left.

Don't say anything, there is a kind of queen, there is a kind of courtier's daughter.

After a year of excitement, and with the influx of more students, there was suddenly another rumor. This rumor did not cause much excitement, as if it was hidden underwater, slowly spreading.

"The top of the state list."

"Indeed, that's the name."

"There are too many people with the same name and surname."

"The appearance is said to be very similar."

"It is said that the prefect of Dengzhou went to see it secretly, and he sprained his feet in fright after just one glance."

"seriously."

"I don't know either, I haven't seen it before."

"However, when you come to the capital, there will be more people who have seen him."

Accompanied by these strange words, on a certain day, there were suddenly a lot of people in the restaurants and tea shops on the street, and they ordered good wine and food, but they all stretched their necks and looked out.

"What is this for?" the shopkeeper asked curiously, and then looked out, "Is there any important person here?"

A guest whispered to him: "Dengzhou ranks first."

The shopkeeper laughed, yes, the top of the list in one state is very powerful, but there are already many tops in the capital, what is so rare?

Talented?Even the top of the list can afford this ability.

Is it as beautiful as a flower?Or ugly?Both of these are very attractive, but to scholars, they are just outside the skin, and they are not worthy of such superficial onlookers.

The man didn't go into details, and said meaningfully: "Just wait and see, you are from the capital, you will know it at a glance."

Mysterious and strange, the shopkeeper showed a bit of disdain, as a native of the capital, I haven't seen anything strange in the past few years.

While speaking, someone ran in, lowering his voice with a little excitement, "Here we come."

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked nervously and excitedly.

The shopkeeper casually fiddled with the calculations, raised his eyelids and looked outside, and saw seven or eight men walking on the street, all dressed as scholars, travel-stained, leading horses, and immediately carrying bookshelves and luggage, with all the students who came to Beijing to wait for the exam like us-

If this is really the top of the Dengzhou list, the situation is not as good as other tops.

Although it is true that there are poor children who are headed by leaps and bounds, they will definitely be valued by the government and local aristocratic families in the future. Gifts of money to servants must be escorted for his bright future.

When the first few states and counties entered Beijing, they were all fragrant cars and BMWs, either swarming with servants or surrounded by scholars.

The group of people in front of them looks no different from ordinary students. Is there really a leader here?

The shopkeeper lowered his eyes, he might as well look at the account book a few more times.

"That's the one--"

"it's him--"

"Look at—"

"Which one?"

"Go the last one."

When the group of people on the street approached here, the hall became more noisy, and the shopkeeper raised his eyes again. Is the last one at the top of the list?

Then the popularity of the top spot is not very good.

Because it seems that there is a group of companions, but the one who walks at the end is clearly different from everyone.

Others pointed and chatted, the capital was lively, and no one spoke to the last person, obviously keeping a distance deliberately.

At this time the man came over, the shopkeeper's eyes fell on his face, and the hand holding the counting chip froze.

This face—

This face is not beautiful.

It's not ugly either.

The face looked unremarkable.

There was no smile on this face.

This face has dark complexion, thin eyes and thin lips.

Thin eyes suddenly looked over.

The shopkeeper's hand trembled, and the chip fell down.

"Too, too, too—" he murmured.

At the same time, the customers in the shop who leaned over to look out also froze for a moment.

until the man walked over.

The next moment there was a commotion.

"is not it?"

"it's him--"

"I just yelled it out."

"It's not you who yelled alone, I heard many people yelled."

Not only this family, but also all the streets, the undercurrent that had been hiding under the water finally jumped out of the water, causing a vortex.

……

……

"Is it really Deng Yi, or does he look like him?"

"It's called Deng Yi, and they look exactly the same. Do you think it's a resemblance?"

There was also a lot of discussion in the Taixue. Compared with the general public, they had actually received the news long ago. Although many people had no chance to meet Grand Tutor Deng Yi, the officials of the prefectures and counties had more or less met him.

It's just that the message they sent was vague.

But everyone can understand, after all, the court announced that Deng Yi was dead.
