This sleeve is broken secretly

However it was too late.

In full view of everyone, a slender beauty was seen coming from the embankment not far away, brushing willows gracefully.

This Ms. Yang is undoubtedly the most traditional beauty in line with the aesthetics of the dynasty.She was born with a slender figure, with slender shoulders and narrow waist, and a willow-like figure. She wore an ordinary sky-blue jacket with a plain pleated skirt, which looked like a begonia in autumn, beautifully out of the mundane world.

Her long face may not be so gorgeous, but she is graceful, dignified and elegant.She only uses two rhinoceros jade hairpins on her temples, and a blooming Yaohuang is placed between her black hair like a waterfall. When she walks around, the delicate petals tremble slightly in the wind, which is pitiful and moving.

What a wonderful lady.

This Miss Yang walked in front of several people lightly, and raised her almond eyes slightly, as if she knew their identities.She bowed silently to Emperor Hong Wu first, without revealing his identity, then turned around and nodded to Xie Ling and Xie Hua with a smile.

Finally, she finally turned to face Shen Bing, with a light red makeup on her moon face, she lowered her eyes as if she was not shy, raised her jade arm slightly to cover the side of her face with the round fan in her hand, opened her red lips lightly and said: "Shen Bing son."

Shen Yan also cupped his hands and bowed, as if he was shocked by the beauty in front of him and avoided suspicion, he lowered his eyes and replied: "Miss Yang."

Everyone present could instantly see that these two standing together were extremely pleasing to the eye.It's not just because they are both born with graceful looks, but also because both of them have a kind of noble temperament that is not to compete or grab, but to be comfortable and outstanding.

At this time, they just stood on the bank of the weeping willows like tassels and the color of lake and water, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were in a painting together, causing the passing tourists to look back.

Immediately, four words appeared in the minds of everyone except Xie Ling——

A perfect couple.

At the same time, four words welled up in Xie Qin's icy heart——

Egg beaten.

But his stupid younger sister was still beside him with a smirk and said, "Sister Yang and Mr. Shen are really a good match!"

Miss Yang's cheeks were slightly drunk, and she reprimanded in a low voice, "What nonsense."

But after she finished speaking, she raised her eyelids and glanced at Shen Bing without shyness, as if expecting his reply.

Shen Yiqing coughed and said nothing, her fair side face seemed a little ashamed.

Xie Ling's eyes were bloodshot, his heart was burning hot, and he blurted out angrily: "I know it's nonsense! Miss, can you be a little more reserved!"

Everyone frowned and glanced at him almost simultaneously.Xie Ling didn't care, and stared fiercely at Shen Bing, as if he had made up his mind that as long as he dared to look at this girl surnamed Yang, he would show his power on the spot.

During this stalemate, Emperor Hong Wu suddenly smiled: "Yes, your father is Mr. Yang Lian, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, right?"

Ms. Yang responded softly "Yes" and said, "Sir, do you know my father?"

"Very familiar." Emperor Hong Wu glanced at her with a smile, then looked at Shen Bing, and said with a smile, "He once mentioned a word before, saying that there is a jewel in the palm of his family. He only hates that most men in the world are vulgar. From the daughter of the family."

There was a "click" in Xie Ling's heart.

Xie Hua didn't know that Yang Lian intended to marry his daughter to Shen Bing, but just looking at Emperor Hongwu's expression at this moment, he knew that this Long Live Lord wanted to match the pair of talented men and women.If this can be done, it will just break the tense stalemate before, which is a good step.Thinking of this, he said with a smile: "Speaking of talents, isn't there one in front of you? Who else can compare with the 'Jingzhou Tinglan' of this dynasty?"

That Miss Yang's face was even more reddened, she was very delicate and beautiful.

Xie Ling was so anxious that he wanted to kick his cousin over and gag his second brother with his hand.He was sweating layer after layer, and his eyes kept wandering between the few people, knowing that if Emperor Hongwu spoke again at this time, the matter would really be settled.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, but he didn't think of any countermeasures either.My mind went blank, and before I could figure it out, I fell to my knees on the ground with a "plop".

Several people were startled by him and looked at him in surprise.Emperor Hongwu was also very curious and asked, "What's the matter with you? What do you want to say?"

Xie Ling's clear talk on countermeasures was all smooth and quick, and he opened his mouth for a long time at this time, but he didn't hold back a word.

Emperor Hongwu was even more confused by him: "Xie San, what happened to you? Have you had a stroke?"

Xie Hua was also at a loss, but when he saw his younger brother's anxious and angry face, his face was flushed but he couldn't say a word, his whole body trembled, and he suddenly thought of something. possible--

My Merry Second Generation Ancestor Brother will not——will——

Could it be that she fell in love with this Miss Yang?

When he thought about it, he suddenly realized that the whole thing made sense.Looking at Xie Ling's expression, he was indeed afraid of the marriage offered by Emperor Hongwu; and looking at Miss Yang's appearance and temperament, she was indeed the type Xie Ling liked.

What to do now!Xie Hua suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes.My silly brother, why didn't he know how to communicate with the family in advance, if he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have said that Shen Bing and Miss Yang were compatible.

But these spoken words are like water poured out.If Emperor Hongwu really wants to give a marriage, what else can he do, can he still resist the order?How could his younger brother be so ignorant!Don't even look at how many catties you have? !

However, being interrupted by Xie Ling, although Emperor Hongwu was surprised, he didn't say anything more.Miss Yang and Xie Jiaohan came out alone, it was not good to stay with the outsider for too long, so they left after a while.

The monarchs and ministers first encountered the peddler's business, and then encountered this inexplicable marriage-giving business, and they were exhausted physically and mentally.Emperor Hongwu's interest was not as high as before, so he turned around for a while and said that he was going back to the palace.

There had already been chariots and horses from the imperial guards and the imperial guards to pick him up. Xie Ling, Xie Hua and Shen Yi sent the holy car to the side of the car, bowed and waited.

Before getting into the car, Emperor Hongwu stopped suddenly, looked back at Shen Yan and smiled slightly: "Liang Qing, Yang Yushi of the Supervisory Academy has long mentioned that he wants to betroth his daughter to you. You will also see Miss Yang today." Here you are, she is indeed a beautiful woman, if you want to tell me, I can make the decision for you."

Xie Ling was startled suddenly, squeezed his sleeves tightly, and looked at Shen Bing nervously.

Under the intense gaze of several people, Shen Yan just lowered his eyes indifferently, and calmly said: "I am still young, and I have no intention of starting a family."

Xie Ling's breath that was held in his chest suddenly relaxed, his whole body went limp, and he almost staggered a step.

Emperor Hongwu was not annoyed when he heard this, he just snorted slightly, turned around, got in the car and left.

After the chariots and horses had left, the three of them straightened up, each immersed in complicated thoughts and unable to recover for a while.

Shen Bing stared blankly at the distance, frowned slightly, and sighed slightly for a while.Xie Hua was a little embarrassed, looked left and right, was about to say something but was suddenly pulled by Xie Jin, only to hear the kid say in a deep voice: "Brother, you go back first, I have something to talk to Liangqing."

Xie Hua was startled, thinking that he was going to compete with Shen Bing to be jealous, he hurriedly said: "Those who came together will go together, if you have anything to say, you can't wait until—"

However, the younger brother of the Demon King has already grabbed Shen Bing's hand and left in a few steps.

----

Xie Ling pulled Shen Bing and walked quickly, only to feel that the blood vessels in his whole body were throbbing, and his temples were also throbbing and painful.

Shen Yan let him pull himself all the way to the riverside promenade under the imperial bridge, looked left and right for no one, then pulled his sleeve and stopped.

Xie Ling followed and stopped, turned around stiffly, but saw Shen Yan was staring at himself with a complicated expression, hesitant to speak, and sighed for a long time: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

"I..." Xie Qin choked up.He subconsciously squeezed Shen Bing's wrist, maybe it was a heavy squeeze, and Shen Bing gently pulled his arm back.He was a little uneasy for a while, and quickly relaxed his grip, but his five fingers still tightly wrapped around that wrist.

Shen Yan sighed again: "Let me go."

Xie Ling was a little annoyed, and said angrily, "No."

Shen Yan frowned and said nothing.

The two fell silent for a while.They were standing under the imperial bridge at this time, four or five steps away was the spring and the grand scene, the warm sun was shining brightly.There are girls and boys in brocade clothes traveling with each other, and children in the general corner are playing and pulling up colorful paper kites.The gurgling river, the whirling willows, and the silky water surface, the girls with bluegrass are washing by the water, making bursts of coquettish laughter.

And yet they were far away from it all, standing face to face in the shadows under the bridge.The noise of people faded away, they looked at each other, and a kind of tension that was about to explode was constantly building up in the silence.It seems that in the silent gaze, the situation is being dragged out of their control and slipping inch by inch towards the established destiny.

It was Shen Yi who broke the silence first.

He let Xie Ling pull himself, looked at the spring outside the bridge, and said in a low voice: "I ran into Mr. Wang Dan that day, and he said that he asked you to ask me if I would like to marry Yang Yushi's family."

Xie Ling felt a twinge in his heart—it turned out that he already knew about it.

So why didn't he mention it?

"Yeah." He finally replied dryly.

Shen Bing turned his gaze back, and fell on his face complicatedly and sighing, with that expression of hesitation and hesitation again.After a while, he said softly, "But you never mentioned it to me."

"En." Xie Jin replied again.

The two fell silent again.

Shen Yan pulled his hand again, this time Xie Qin let go of him, and stared deeply at him standing a few steps away from him, frowning and rubbing his wrists, his eyes slightly lowered, wondering what he was thinking.Xie Ling only felt that his heart was roaring to rush out of his body, breaking the ice-like silence, and rushing to hug his beloved who was standing a few steps away from him.However, rationality kept pulling it, admonishing it not to be impulsive, not to do things that would make it regret because of its momentary recklessness.

This kind of tearing caused a dull pain in his chest.

In the end, he barely recovered his voice, and asked dryly: "You once told me that you are willing to marry a wife and start a family. Why did the emperor evade and say no when he asked today?"

Shen Yan lowered his eyes, was quiet for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is testing me. I just challenged his bottom line. If I rashly express my willingness to marry Lord Yushi, it will even arouse the suspicion of the emperor... "

The anxiety in Xie Jin's heart continued to rise, and he interrupted him when he finally blurted out: "Nonsense!"

His excited voice echoed in the empty bridge hole, like an angry beast, rushing left and right.

Shen Bing stopped talking, didn't look at him, sighed and frowned and looked into the distance over his shoulder.

Xie Ling clenched his fists, and the pull in his chest became more intense——

That layer of window paper is right in front of you.

Is he going to break it or not?

He had envisioned countless times the scene where he confessed his feelings to Shen Bing.It may be in a certain Zhuangzi, where they sit next to each other and enjoy the spring rain or winter snow. When the atmosphere is just right, he can talk about all his lovesickness and attachments; On the night of the full moon, they either climb high and look far away, or go boating on the river. In the silence of all things, they may embrace each other naturally without saying anything about each other.

But the premise of all this is that he must be sure that Shen Bing also likes him.

He never does anything uncertain, and he must get what he wants.He originally planned that before the two of them made love, he would have a lot of time to nibble away at Shen Bing bit by bit with kindness and tenderness, like a spider's web slowly enveloping the inevitable prey.

however.

However, the situation is changing rapidly, and there are too many things out of his control.For example, Emperor Hongwu's attitude, such as Concubine Duan and Yang Lian, such as Shen Bi's marriage, and more importantly——

For example, Shen Bing's mind.

Xie Ling suddenly understood that all his plans were a dead end.Let him press at every step and cast a net, if Shen Bin doesn't like him, then he has nothing to do.

He has always been arrogant, has a high self-esteem, and is always in a good position.

At this time, he felt frustrated.

At this time, Shen Bing was still standing a few steps away, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the silence, Xie Qin heard his own voice breaking through the encirclement, and asked again tremblingly: "...Why do you say you don't want to get married?"

He didn't wait for Shen Bing to answer, and asked again: "... Is there... is, is it because of me?"

The last word was like a huge boulder, he exhausted all his strength before he spat out his lips.

Since you already knew that Yang Lian wanted to marry you, why did you keep pretending not to know?

Is there any possibility that the reason you did all this is because of me?

After Xie Ling asked this sentence, he held his breath almost tremblingly.He has been domineering all his life, and even dared to talk and laugh in front of Emperor Hongwu, but at this time he dared not look into Shen Bing's eyes.

There seemed to be another long silence.He finally heard the person on the opposite side sigh softly, and said in a low voice: "...Jian Zhi, why do you do this..."

The voice was extremely soft, not so much complaining and hating, as it was feeling helpless.However, it was this light-as-a-feather sentence that hit Xie Ling's chest with a loud bang like a giant hammer hitting a rock.

"Why?!" He turned his head suddenly, his eyes were scarlet, and he rushed forward and grabbed Shen Jue's shoulder in two steps, "You are so smart, don't you know why I am like this? I, I—"

He swallowed hard, but finally said in a hoarse voice without hesitation: "—I like you, it's hard to bear."

i like you so much.Every day not being with you is a long torture.

Shen Yan let him grab her, frowning at his furious eyes, his expression seemed to be calm.But if you look closely, you can find that the slender eyelashes are trembling uncontrollably like butterfly wings wet by the rainstorm.

"You just made a mistake." Shen Yan finally avoided his fiery gaze, and said softly, "You and I are close, and you have met life and death, so you thought you liked me. But in fact——"

Xie Ling interrupted him: "Don't prevaricate me! There are so many friends in this capital who want to sit with me, and there are too many beauties who want to sit with me! But none of them are you. I like you, even if Even you can't deny my intention!"

He grabbed Shen Bing's hand and pressed his palm tightly against the pulse of his neck.Shen Ting was startled, and felt that his palm touched a piece of vigorous heat, like erupting volcanic magma, which was proving the fiery and restless friendship with extremely enthusiastic roars and roars.

He was almost scalded, and he withdrew his hand abruptly.

Xie Ling watched him closely, not allowing him to escape: "Did you feel it?"

Shen Bian turned his head away, as if he had nowhere to escape from his gaze, and sighed: "Xie Rangzhi, you should have a measure of nonsense. Both of us are men, and we are both officials in the court. You want me to How about it? Marry you as a wife? The two of us have no next step at all, why put ourselves in this dilemma..."

"Why not?" Xie Qin asked back, "In the court hall, in front of hundreds of officials, and under the throne, we can be courtiers of the emperor, or equal opponents. But as long as we take off this official uniform, there will be no one in the alley, empty bridge hole, In the spring tent, you and I are lovers. As long as you say a word, I am willing to never marry for you, and in this life, you are the only one!"

Every word of his words was resolute, like a soldering iron, engraved into Shen Bing's heart.Shen Yan stepped back almost as if he couldn't bear it, and shouted angrily: "What are you talking about not marrying for the rest of your life, how are you going to explain to your family? Don't put me in this embarrassment!"

"Are you afraid?" Xie Qin's eyes were burning, "As long as I can get you, as long as you give me the same promise, I can say it, and I can do it. Shen Liangqing, you and I are called 'Langyu Tinglan', except me , who can afford you!"

Shen Yan took a deep breath, and glared at him fiercely: "Don't force me! Shut up now, I can still pretend that what happened today didn't happen—"

"Impossible." Xie Ling categorically refused, "I've already said my word. Shen Liangqing, even the king of heaven in this life, I don't want to leave you."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, grabbed Shen's slender chin with his left hand, bowed his head and kissed it fiercely.

The moment the two people's lips and teeth touched, it seemed that everything in the world was going backwards rapidly, the spring water flowed backwards, the breeze died down, the children were silent, and the chariots and horses stood still.Up to the three thousand worlds, down to the foam and dust, they are in a silence and stagnation, only each other.

Xie Qin has kissed many beauties in his life, but there has never been a time like this, when the intense happiness and throbbing almost overwhelmed him like a huge wave.When his lips and teeth lightly touched Shen Bing's lips, and he felt that he was trembling under his closeness, the numbness rushing up from the tailbone was like an electric shock, which made his whole body tremble.

The nose is a scent that belongs only to Shen 梒, the clean saponin smell, and the slightly sweet herbal aroma, as if it is a mixture of spring osmanthus and orchid grass.Xie Ling deepened the kiss almost irresistibly, lowered his head to kiss and licked Shen Bing's lips as much as he wanted, and entangled his tongue, expressing his love fiercely and firmly like a beast.

Xie Jin's heart trembled, his head went blank, and only one sentence echoed:

Damn, as long as Shen Bing is willing, he wants the stars and the moon is a matter of one word...

"Snapped!"

Shen Bing broke free from his arms suddenly, and slapped him hard with his hands.

Xie Ling was stunned, and before he recovered from the passionate kiss just now, he staggered a step.

Shen Yan took a sharp breath, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and glared at Xie Ling angrily.He was originally beautiful, but his usual reserved and elegant demeanor made him look a bit unattainable like a flower in a high mountain.However, at this time, the short-lived passion dyed the corners of his eyes and brows with a thin red affection, adding a layer of glamor to his elegant facial features for no reason.The temptation to be so clean that people can sink into it just by looking at it.

But Shen Bing's eyes were as cold as ice, and he growled almost angrily: "Xie Rangzhi, I have warned you a long time ago, don't treat me, Shen Liangqing, as a woman! What I hate the most in my life is those who take a look at me. If you are skinny, you will consciously understand me, know me, and even love me. If you want to serve others with sex, go to the brothel Chu Guan, and some people are willing to recommend themselves to you! But even if you still want to make friends with me meaning, let me first learn how to write the word 'respect'!"

Xie Ling stood there in a bit of embarrassment, with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I was the one to be abrupt."

Shen Bing clenched his sleeves tightly, stared at him almost like a stare, turned his head and walked away.

Xie Qin raised his head, followed his back and said, "But I won't give up."

Shen Bing paused, but didn't look back, hurriedly left the empty bridge hole, and disappeared into the spring outside in an instant.
