I ate soft rice in those years

At the end of spring, the marriage between Qin Zhongli and Chu Shuhua was settled.

It just seemed that Yan Bianzong was not satisfied with this marriage, and he specially called him to Yulongdian, "I heard that you are going to marry Chu Shuhua?"

"Back to the emperor, yes."

Yan Bianzong sighed and rubbed his brows, "Although she is your cousin and the two are relatively close, but she has been married once, why don't you wait for a while."

Qin Zhongli had already grown up with Chu's parents, but now if he marries Chu Shuhua again, the ties would become even deeper.Moreover, in the emperor's conception, a second-married woman is not worthy of his son.

Qin Zhongli only guessed a little bit, but he has already promised Chu Xiuyan, so it is impossible to break his word.So he slowly explained: "Your Majesty, she was captured by robbers that day and fell into the water. When she was in danger, she wanted to save my minister regardless of her life. Such a woman is rare in the world, and she is the most suitable marriage." Now." Seeing that Yan Bianzong was still frowning, Qin Zhongli turned his eyes and said meaningfully: "Besides, the Chu family is kind to me, and we will marry Shuhua in the future, and we can also share some burdens for the son and the clan. .”

Hearing what he said, Yan Bianzong suddenly raised his head, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

If so, now that Qin Zhongli is married to Chu Shuhua, he will be able to get in touch with some affairs of the Chu family, and it will be beneficial for him to be recognized when the time comes.

He laughed loudly, walked to Qin Zhongli's side, patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't help admiring that Qin Zhongli was able to calculate such things even before he knew his own background. I can't stop you anymore. I will send you a congratulatory gift for your big wedding."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that he had finally dealt with it, Qin Zhongli leaned down and licked the corners of his mouth secretly.

Knowing that Yan Bianzong personally intervened in Qin Zhongli's marriage, the queen called Yan Yufeng to her side.

"The main concubine? Why did the queen mother suddenly mention this?" Yan Yufeng now has concubines and side concubines, so he is not in a hurry.

"Yes." The queen snorted coldly, "Feng'er, as long as you have a wife who cannot be underestimated, your position will be more secure. From my point of view, your cousin is pretty good."

"Ah? But she—" Yan Yufeng felt that the woman's appearance was mediocre, and she was really not pleasing to the eye. Moreover, the father was only his son, so even if he did some stupid things, he would never be dismissed.

"It's just a concubine, as long as you can stabilize your rights, that's enough." The queen couldn't understand his thoughts, but he was reckless, if he were to know about Qin Zhongli's existence, it would probably be a catastrophe.

Naturally, Yan Yufeng didn't dare to disobey her words, so he could only sigh, "Everything is obeyed by the Queen Mother."

-

Although it was the second marriage, Mrs. Chu chose a good day, and regardless of what others said, she still married Chu Shuhua in a glorious manner.

Unlike Chu Wenlin's marriage, Qin Zhongli has his own mansion.

So that day Chu Shuhua carried a big sedan chair eight times and left Chu's mansion with red makeup thousands of miles away, attracting attention.

Chu Wenlin had a rest day today, and the whole mansion was full of joy. As an ex-husband, he naturally hid in Qingyunzhai to avoid suspicion and did not go out.

It's just that it's summer now, and the sun outside is starting to get hotter, and the air is dry and hot.

He was a little heat intolerant, turned over a few times on the sit down, took off his coat, got up and poured a glass of water to drink.

He squinted his eyes and saw a somewhat familiar book on the desk, the book cover was wrapped in a thin brocade cloth, a bit like the one that Chu Xiuyan held in his hand before.

He thought it was just the same as when he was in the hunting ground, and it was just some anecdotes, so he picked it up and lay down on the chair to read.

But after turning the first page, Chu Wenlin paused, only feeling that the above picture was not suitable for children.

Although he is over twenty years old, he has even met Zhou Gong with Chu Xiuyan.But this, in broad daylight, he should not read it.

Chu Wenlin silently closed the book.But he didn't realize that Chu Xiuyan was behind him.

He leaned up from behind, leaned against his back, and kissed his cheek.

Looking at the scripture in his hand, Chu Wenlin suddenly felt guilty, and wanted to put it aside, but Chu Xiuyan held down his hand.

He followed the back of Chu Wenlin's hand, entangled it between his fingers, and uncovered the lively and fragrant picture.

"My son—" Before Chu Wenlin could finish speaking, Chu Xiuyan's lips had already landed on his lips, pecking lightly.

The other hand picked up his somewhat loose belt and stretched down.

Chu Wenlin was a little aroused by Chu Xiuyan's soft and flexible hands, and his breathing became heavier.

In this somewhat sticky atmosphere, Chu Xiuyan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What did you say at the banquet that day, you have no luck?"

Chu Wenlin, who was very comfortable at first, was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help but turned his face and bit his lips, with a low voice, "Is it okay, don't you know?"

Chu Xiuyan smiled lightly, and the movements of his hands became more gentle, but suddenly he said something endlessly, "Chu Shuhua just got married."

Chu Wenlin squinted his eyes halfway, and looked at him suspiciously. Chu Xiuyan's soft palms made him a little slow to react.

It took him a while to realize that Chu Xiuyan was jealous. He smiled and bit Shizi's earlobe, "Why don't you marry me?"

Chu Xiuyan suffocated for breath, and his movements paused for a moment.

The story book fell to the ground, and the pages covered the content inside, but there was a more fragrant picture on the bed.

In a few days, it was the Lantern Festival.

On this day, every house is decorated with lanterns and streamers since dusk.Because the management of peddlers is relatively loose, hawkers set up stalls along the street to sell from time to time, yelling, smiling, just filling the atmosphere, and it seems that they don't expect to make much money.

Chu Wenlin was rarely free today, so he also came out to join in the fun.Seeing a mask seller on the side of the road, he casually bought one and put it on his face. It was a fox mask, which looked extraordinarily cunning. He looked at Chu Xiuyan who was beside him, "Now I am the same as you."

Chu Xiuyan looked at Chu Wenlin's soft eyes, and touched his mask, "This doesn't suit you, it should be a rabbit."

"..." Chu Wenlin turned around silently and walked towards the river.

The moat is outside the city. On the Lantern Festival, officers and soldiers will not close the city gate to facilitate those who put up lanterns.

After Chu Wenlin entered the summer, he changed into flimsy clothes. He still felt extremely hot, and the river was cool, so he came for a walk. Chu Xiuyan seemed to feel that he had made a mistake, and he turned his head and whispered something in his ear, Then they met Chu Shuhua and Qin Zhongli head-on.

When they saw Chu Xiuyan, they saluted, "My lord."

Chu Xiuyan turned his head and saw them nodded slightly.

Qin Zhongli looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I can meet the prince and Mr. Chu today. During the last wedding, things were done in a hurry, and I haven't had time to thank the prince in the future."

Chu Xiuyan looked at their appearance, and said lightly: "You husband and wife can raise your eyebrows together, as long as you sing in harmony."

"Zhong Li will never let Shuhua down. It's getting late now, we are going back to the residence, so we won't disturb the prince."

After speaking, Qin Zhongli nodded towards them, then supported Chu Shuhua's waist and walked towards the other side.

"The road here is slippery." Chu Wenlin had already walked to the other side at this time, and the river in the middle was overflowing, which was a bit dangerous, so he turned around and stretched out his hand to Chu Xiuyan, "Let me lead you."

Many people have put lanterns into the river, and on the black river that flows quietly in the night, there are lanterns with different flower shapes and flickering faint lights. A river is full of flowers, which is really beautiful.

Those who put down the lanterns all had warm smiles on their faces, wishing for the well-being of their relatives at home, praying for a smooth career, and longing for their old friends far away.

In this peaceful environment, the eyes of Chu Wenlin on the opposite side were also warmed by the lights, Chu Xiuyan slowly passed his hand, and the two of them held hands, walked across the river, and walked towards Chu's mansion.

Chu Shuhua suddenly turned his head at this moment, and saw the two walking hand in hand from a distance, and Chu Wenlin occasionally lowered his head to look at Chu Xiuyan, with a straight figure.She was also in a trance for a while, as if this Chu Wenlin was completely different from the person in the previous life.Whether her memory was real or not, she was a little confused.

The lanterns in the river carry all kinds of wishes and float far away until they reach the horizon, turning into stars in the sky.
