Emperor's Trophy

Ji Bingyuan sat for a long time before reaching out and rubbing the center of his brows, and said in a low voice, "Get up, Ding Dai."

"The queen mother is ashamed of me. Even though I am brave and good at fighting and have made countless achievements in battle, she still...wouldn't forgive me to the death."

"It's just because I can't marry a woman and have children. Such a thing that most men can do, no matter how much I do, she never takes me seriously."

Ding Dai burst into tears: "Your Majesty, this is not your fault."

Ji Bingyuan said in a low voice: "I know that my mother's empress Suye was terrified. She was only worried that the late emperor would discover my habit of cutting sleeves, and then abolish my crown prince. I know what she is afraid of."

"I thought, as long as I can stand high enough, no one will be able to say whether I have married a wife and had children. It's a pity that she didn't wait."

"Jixianger, the first time he told me that he likes men, I seemed to see myself back then. I thought, don't worry about anything, maybe he is just like other young noble boys with fresh looks. After a few days The fresh head of the day is over, and it's over."

"Don't take it too hard, maybe if you keep it, you'll be the same as me, but you can't change it. Sometimes I think it's funny. I and the eldest princess are not related by blood. They have similar temperaments and become siblings with different surnames. In the end, she gave birth to a child just like me, looking at him, he really seemed like my son, so I hope he can be happy and live his life without any worries, and don't miss it like I did When you should indulge yourself, your whole life is like a dry tree with ashes."

Ding Dai said: "Your Majesty, you are less than a hundred years old, how many years do you have to waste like this? Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to accompany you for a while? Besides, Lord Hou obviously has a heart for you. This is a mutual love Well, what's wrong?"

Ji Bingyuan let out a long sigh: "His heart is not in love."

"He is still very young, vigorous and lively, and he has his lofty ideals."

"The emperor's love is unbearable for mortals. I will be jealous, will age before him, and will make him suffer many attacks and slanders, slanders and ridicules that he shouldn't have to bear."

"He may not be able to stand it. Instead of going to that step, it is better for me to take care of him and protect him for a while. He is so young, so maybe he will meet the most suitable person."

Ding Dai wiped away his tears, climbed up, patted the wrinkled robe on his knees, curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, I think you really look down on Zhao Xinhou, I think Zhao Xinhou understands it in his heart, how about he Why are you so bright-minded and didn't fall in love with Ji Huaisu? Look, the crown prince's favorite, how many people are flocking to him outside, young and promising, handsome, seems to be infatuated with him, what did Hou Ye say, he has a toe They can’t even compare to you. The vision of our Marquis, it’s better to be first-class! If he is really obsessed with you every day, like a harem concubine, he is waiting for you to be pampered every day, and his heart is full of love Love, do you have a crush on him?"

Ji Bingyuan felt helpless.

Ding Dai said in a long voice: "Your Majesty, when you are still jealous, you take care of him and protect him... Then what can Ji Huaisu do for Zhao Xinhou? He dares to say that he likes Zhao Xinhou in front of you." .Then Zhu Jiang didn't just use the friendship of growing up with Zhaoxinhou? He dared to like Zhaoxinhou, you are still looking forward and backward, haha. Tsk, when the time comes, let a pig take this juicy The Chinese cabbage is arched, I see where you regret to go, Your Majesty."

Ji Bingyuan: ...

He cast a serious look at Ding Dai, Ding Dai was not afraid at all, straightened his robes, held a tea tray and said: "My little one is going down to prepare dinner." He ran away in a hurry.

Ji Bingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this critter cried so badly before, which made him soft-hearted, and he was not prosecuted for the crime of lying, but in the end he slipped and took the opportunity to teach himself a lesson and run away.

Did the pig hog the cabbage?

Ji Bingyuan snorted coldly, isn't it just a pig preparing to defend the border?Good brother, tsk.

I have to admit that Ding Dai was the roundworm in his stomach for many years, and he really felt sour at that moment.

===

Zhu Jiang pulled the rein listlessly and walked outside the long pavilion. The old Duke didn't come, but his brother came, and he was still talking about him all the way: "The Duke said that although your fight was impulsive, it's still considered an impulsive fight." It's a crooked fight, the court of the king of Hejian County has been very busy these few months, it's time to cool off, the people in charge of our army don't need to have too many contacts with the clan, you should calm down and make some contributions in the frontier, next time you won't be allowed Let's drink again."

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Zhu Jiang turned her head. Seeing Yun Zhen galloping over on a horse, Zhu Jiang was overjoyed, and turned her head to wave vigorously: "Auspicious! Auspicious!"

Yun Zhen saw him looking at him with joy, his whole face seemed to be lit up.

Suddenly his heart softened, and he couldn't say what he had planned to question him before.

How to ask?He never made it clear from the beginning to the end, but stayed away from the capital and went to the frontier to guard the border. It was rare to come back, but he couldn't say a few words properly, and he was thrown into prison again, although he asked for it... ...somewhat related to myself.

The most important thing is that he has no way to respond and cannot respond to Zhu Jiang's feelings.

I don't know if his child is still there.He didn't know when Zhu Jiang in this life started thinking about him, but Ji Huaisu probably wouldn't lie to the imperial court.

The past life is the past life, and since we are brothers in this life, we can only continue to pretend to be confused.

Because of this guilt, he brought a lot of banknotes to Zhu Jiang, took them out of his pocket and stuffed them to Zhu Jiang: "You stay well, I wanted to go to the Ministry of War, and I can take care of you, the emperor won't allow it." , told me to go to Dali Temple, alas, write to me anytime if you need anything.”

Zhu Jiang looked at this large amount of banknotes, and couldn't help but laugh: "My family also has arrangements. You can keep it for yourself. I also guess that you will stay in Xishan Daying for a while. Dali Temple is good. Everyone in Dali Temple is afraid."

Yun Zhen said: "Don't be so impulsive in the future, is the county king also so easy to fight?"

Zhu Jiang chuckled, but there was no explanation.

Yun Zhen's heart became more and more clear, and it turned out that what Ji Huaisu said was true.

The two chatted a few more gossips, and seeing that the sun was getting late, they sent him away.

Yun Zhen returned to the palace listlessly.

Ji Bingyuan saw that he was listless, and asked him: "How is it? Did you ask clearly?"

Yun Zhen whispered: "No, if he doesn't say anything, let's forget it."

Ji Bingyuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "You don't want to know what happened?"

Yun Zhen said in a low voice: "I can't respond again, if it's clear, it means that brothers can't do it."

Yun Zhen continued: "He probably thinks the same way. He likes it wishfully. Speaking out will only disturb the other party? It's better not to say it. You can still be a brother if you don't say it."

Ji Bingyuan said in a low voice: "You're right—but you can't hide things like feelings, right?"
