Wu Zetian wants to keep me by her side.

I glanced at Ma Chao out of the corner of my eye. His brows were frowned, and he looked unhappy.

"Sorry, Your Majesty." I withdrew my hand and lowered my body again, "I still have a lot to do."

"You and him can come together, and I will send someone to take care of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. In terms of talent and martial arts, the two of us are no better than those in the palace, and staying here is just to dawdle."

I know that Ma Chao doesn't like being restrained, and I certainly don't like it either.No one knows what kind of place the imperial palace is.

"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you." Wu Zetian waved his sleeves, "The sage will be here in a while, I still have something to do, let's chat."

"Your Majesty, I will send you out." Di Renjie followed Wu Zetian, and I logically followed.

At the door was Wu Zetian's attendants. The one with a higher official position stood at the front, holding a folding fan, and her black hair was tied into a high ponytail. She was actually a woman.

"If you go back on your word, you can come to me at any time." Wu Zetian stepped in front of the sedan chair and threw this sentence with his back to me, "He can't protect you."

Fortunately, Ma Chao didn't follow, otherwise he would be depressed again.

"Your Majesty has a heart." I thanked again, "I am not as weak as you imagined."

Wu Zetian didn't say anything after hearing the words.

The carriage drifted away and finally disappeared from sight.

I have decided that after this trip, I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests of Yicheng with Ma Chao, a couple for life, intoxicated by the spring flowers and autumn moon, and wake up in the twilight and clear morning.

In the future, we only have each other in our eyes.

As soon as Wu Zetian left, Zhuang Zhou entered Di Renjie's mansion on the back. He still looked like he was sleeping alone when everything woke up.

"Xiao Zhao, are you having fun these few days?"

Not to mention, the name Xiao Zhao is really cute.

"I was very happy when I first came here, but I have been sleeping for the past few days, and I have not experienced the joy of a sage." I replied jokingly, and handed the letter hidden in the package for a long time to Zhuang Zhou.

Zhuang Zhou opened the letter on the spot, just glanced at it and put it in his sleeve.

"What did you write, sir?" I wondered.

"It's all just asking for warmth." Zhuang Zhou opened his eyes and looked at me for a long time, "Does Xiao Zhao like this place?"

"Of course I like it." I leaned closer to Ma Chao while talking.

"Then if one day, Xiao Zhao wakes up and finds that this is just a dream, will he still like it?"

My heart froze for a moment.

Will it be a dream?I glanced at Ma Chao beside me.

Ma Chao didn't speak, just held my hand, the real and hot temperature went straight to my heart.

"The butterfly and I are both real," I replied.

Zhuang Zhou once dreamed that he became a butterfly, and when he woke up, he found that he was still a human being.So he wondered whether he was a human or a butterfly.

Reality and illusion cannot be clearly distinguished. People need to perceive the world, and the world is perceived by people.

What you think is the real world may just happen to be perceived by another person.

Therefore, the butterfly and I are both real.

Seemingly hearing a satisfactory answer, Zhuang Zhou closed his eyes and yawned, "Then I wish Xiaozhao happiness."

"Thank you sage."

After Zhuang Zhou left, Ma Chao and I were going back to the house to pack our luggage. After disturbing Di Renjie for so many days, it was time to return to Yicheng.

"What do you mean by what you just said?" Ma Chao suddenly said without beginning or end.

"It's a bit troublesome to explain." I tiptoed to hold his face, and kissed him on the cheek, "Simply put, it means I like you very much."

He held me in his arms with half understanding, and was about to bow his head to respond, when the sudden sound of footsteps outside the house interrupted his movements.

"Cough, excuse me, both of you." Di Renjie raised his hand to cover his eyes in embarrassment, "I didn't see anything."

I quickly got out of Ma Chao's arms, patted my face to wake myself up, "Master Di, please tell me something."

Before he finished speaking, Di Renjie bent down and bowed to me.

"Hey, what is this for?" I wondered.

"It was Huaiying who was rude and didn't recognize Master Summoner. The reception is not good these days, sir forgive me."

"What are you talking about? I'm not a big shot. You should just call me a girl."

I was about to go up to help Di Renjie up, but Ma Chao was one step ahead of me.

"What's the matter, tell me directly."

Uh, I think I have to remind him next time that this kind of aggressive character must be restrained.

"I hope to get the help of Master Summoner." Di Renjie stood up straight, with a serious expression, "Chang'an City seems to be calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents. Recently..."

"Stop talking." Ma Chao's complexion suddenly became grim. Seeing him like this, Di Renjie didn't dare to speak for a while.

"Continue talking." I tugged at Ma Chao's clothes, telling him not to be so impolite.

"I won't let you go." Ma Chao insisted.

"I don't mean to let the adults take risks, but I just hope that the adults can lend a helping hand." Di Renjie said in embarrassment.

"I told you not to say it!" Ma Chao suddenly stood in front of me, grabbed Di Renjie's clothes, his eyes were extremely fierce.

I don't know what happened between Ma Chao and Di Renjie, but the relationship between them seems to be worse than imagined.

"Meng Qi, do you have something to hide from me?"

I held Ma Chao's hand and asked him to put it down, and asked again what I had asked before.

"No." He turned his head away, refusing to face me.

"I am your wife and a summoner, and I have the right to know."

The air was filled with heaviness and oppression.

After a while, Ma Chao whispered, "Are you trying to use your identity to suppress me?"

"I……"

No, I obviously never cared about identity.

Thoughts formed a net in a mess, and it became tighter and tighter, and the pain went straight to the heart.

"Sorry for making you two unhappy." Seeing that the atmosphere is not good, Di Renjie deliberately changed the subject, "There are still many interesting places in Chang'an City, you two may wish to stay for a few more days, and I will let Yuanfang take you later go play."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he left the room without stopping.

"Meng Qi." I knew that I had said something wrong just now, and I reached out to comfort him, but he subconsciously avoided it.

He must be sulking again.My hand stopped in the air, neither stretched nor retracted.

Every time he is sulking, he refuses to talk or let me touch him.

But this time it was clear that he had something to hide from me first, so why does it seem like I did something wrong.

The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, so I simply left him alone and came to coax me after he figured it out.

It was like this for two days in a row, neither of us talked to anyone, and we slept far away at night.

Seeing us like this, Li Yuanfang didn't dare to obey Di Renjie's words and take me out to relax.

Stinky man!Stupid straight man!I cursed in my heart.

In the end, I voluntarily surrendered. After all, I was not as tolerant as him. If this continues, I am afraid that I will get angry.

"What day is it today?" I was fiddling with how to make pastries in the kitchen, looking for Li Yuanfang to chat with me.

"It's the fourteenth day of the eighth lunar month." Li Yuanfang replied.

"So fast!" I exclaimed.

Isn't tomorrow Ma Chao's birthday?

"What's wrong?" Li Yuanfang tilted her head and asked.

"Do you have anything to make cakes?"

"What's a cake?"

Is there no cake in Chang'an City?

I drew the pattern of the cake on the felt board with flour. Li Yuanfang looked at it on tiptoe and said, "Oh, I know this, I can do it, and there are tools in the kitchen, but I don't know how to use it."

"Just leave it to me!" I patted my chest and said to myself.

But I seem to be overconfident, forgetting how complicated the mechanisms and props in this world are, they are completely different from real things.

I fiddled with it for a day and a half, but it didn't come out. Later, I could only make a pastry that looked like a little dragon.

But I can't take the initiative to admit my mistake to him, can I?I was wrong at first, and he must admit his mistake first.

So, I made a bold move, which was to climb onto the roof at night.

"What are you doing?" Maybe it's because I made too much noise, and I directly attracted that boring man, "Come down quickly."

Hmph, if you tell me to go down, I will go down?

I stood on the roof and moved forward in small steps, "You apologize, and I will come down."

The moonlight was a little dark, and I couldn't see Ma Chao's expression clearly, but I guess he was about to explode.

"Oh!" I pretended to fall and sat down all at once.

Ma Chao was really frightened by me this time. He stepped on the rockery beside him and jumped onto the roof with his strength, nervously watching how I was doing.

"Hey! Happy birthday!" I put the exquisitely wrapped Xiaolong pastry in the palm of my hand and held it in front of him.

Shocked by my action, he was at a loss for a moment, and then returned to his usual appearance, as if he was laughing and blaming, "Idiot."

I patted the side seat and told him to sit down.

"How do you know my birthday and zodiac?"

"I'm a summoner! What don't you know!" In fact, I deliberately read his records in Yicheng and remembered, "This is our first birthday together! Because I didn't know you well before, so If you missed it, you will have to make up for it in the future!"

As soon as I finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed my lips.

My mind was blank, I just closed my eyes and didn't think about anything else.

The clouds in the night sky drifted slowly, revealing a corner of the moon.

The bright light fell on the eaves, quietly, as if time had stopped.

"I won't do anything to hurt you." When he spoke, the corners of his eyes were a little red, I just thought he was moved by me, "Let's not allow others to hurt you."

"I know, so in this world, no one loves you more than me." I stroked his face and looked into his eyes.

"I love you too." He took my hand and kissed the back of it, "Meng Qi only protects you in this life and fights for you."

People always say that such a man doesn't understand style, but in my opinion, nothing in the world can compare to this sincere oath.

God, if only you could hear my call.

Can you please let me trade three lives and three lives in exchange for this life with him to grow old together?
