Shuoyun Feidu

After that, he rested in the palace for another three to five days. Although Beitang Rongdu's injury could not be said to be completely healed, it was almost the same. He didn't want to live in the palace forever, so he decided to go back to his own palace. Beitang Although Zunyue wanted to stay with Beitang Rongdu for a while longer, but there was also a stubbornness in Beitang Rongdu's temperament, and things that had been decided would not change easily, and Beitang Zunyue was not easy to disobey. He, therefore, saw that the weather was much clearer this day, so Beitang Rongdu tidied up a bit, and drove back to Qinggong in the east of the city.

When Beitang Rongdu came back this time, he didn't send someone to his palace to deliver a message in advance, so Shen Hanyan never received the news. Han Yancai got the letter from the eunuch, and quickly put on his cloak, and went out to meet him in person. After a while, he saw a soft sedan chair with green buckets and thick curtains being carried by four eunuchs, slowly heading towards Qionghua Palace. Come here, wait for the sedan chair to come to a steady stop, and see a slender hand lift the curtain of the sedan chair from inside, and then someone comes out of the sedan chair, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old wrapped in a black armpit fur , did not wear a crown, her long hair was only tied in a bunch on the top of her head, and a shiny sapphire earring was buckled on her ear. Her face was slightly pale. It also looks a little bigger, and the whole person seems to have lost a lot of weight. If it's not Beitang Rongdu, who is it?Because Beitang Rongdu was severely injured in the back, he refused to eat normally every day, which made it difficult to go to the toilet, so recently he only ate soup and the like, although judging from his physical condition, There is nothing serious about it, and the soups that I use every day are very nourishing for the body, but after all, it is not as serious as eating, so I lost weight as soon as I saw it, as if I had been ill for a while. Seeing him like this, Han Yan naturally felt uncomfortable, so he stepped forward quickly, supported Beitang Rongdu's left elbow with one hand, and sighed: "...It's only been a long time, but how can you do it? It's become so thin."

Beitang Rongdu just sat in the sedan chair and fell asleep for a while, then he slowly regained his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Hanyan frowning slightly, with a worried look on his face, so he He said with a smile: "...It has come to this point, it's just a little thing, just take care of it for a few days." Shen Hanyan stretched out his hand to tighten the fur coat for Beitang Rongdu, and said: "The illness has just recovered. Don't blow the wind here, go in and talk." Beitang Rongdu nodded, and walked in hand in hand with the young man.

For a while, the two of them entered the warm pavilion of the west side hall, and several servants stepped forward to serve them both took off their cloaks, while a palace servant brought in hot fragrant tea, after that, the two sat down facing each other, Shen Han Yan took Beitang Rongdu's hand, carefully looked at Beitang Rongdu's face and description up and down, and saw that the other person seemed to be a little thinner, and there seemed to be no special changes in other things, and his spirit was still the same. Therefore, I felt a little more at ease in my heart, shook Beitang Rongdu's hand, and said, "Beitang, are you okay?" Beitang Rongdu looked up at Shen Hanyan, and there was still a point With a look of worry, he smiled and said: "...what can I do wrong, but you are so worried about it. These days, it is said that I am recuperating at my father's place. In fact, there is nothing wrong. I just lie down all day. I'm so bored, but there's nothing wrong with the other side, if it's not something, it just seems to be a little thinner and lose a few catties, so there's no need to ask if it's good or not." As he spoke, he took the hot water next to him. After taking a sip of tea, he said again: "Let's not mention these things for now, but what happened at home recently? Are Jiaqi and Brother You okay?" Shen Hanyan couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling when he heard this, and said, "There's nothing wrong with them. Yes, it's just that Runyou likes to cry a lot, as long as you take care of yourself, it's better than anything else." After finishing speaking, he said to an older palace man next to him: "Bring the girl here."

After a while, the warm curtain at the door opened, and a well-dressed and beautiful girl came in, with two braids on her hair, a pink silk jacket, and a purple gold longevity lock around her neck. Tang Jia resembled a little, but she didn't have the soft and graceful look of her grandmother in her eyebrows and eyes. Instead, she was more eccentric, vaguely similar to Beitang Rongdu. When she entered the door, she saw Beitang Rongdu sitting in the warm Drinking tea on the kang, he immediately called out in surprise: "...Daddy!" He ran over, hugged Beitang Rongdu's leg, and couldn't stop acting affectionately, while Shen Hanyan was sitting quietly on the side drinking tea , with a smile on his lips, slightly raised eyebrows, with a steady and elegant look, seeing this, he just sat upright and smiled slightly: "...Did you forget anything?" After hearing this, Beitang Jiaqi hesitated a little, then thought After thinking about it, he let go of his hand, and awkwardly saluted Beitang Rongdu, who was not standard. When Beitang Rongdu saw him, he smiled and picked up his daughter, saying: "Hey, our Jiaqi really grew up!" Now, I understand the rules." Beitang Jiaqi put his arms around Beitang Rongdu's neck, and said seriously: "Daddy said that Daddy is sick... Does Daddy hurt when he is sick?" Beitang Rongdu hugged his daughter limply in his arms. With her small body, she could feel the sweet scent of flowers on the child, and felt warm and comfortable in her heart, so she kissed Beitang Jiaqi's tender little face in her arms, and said with a smile: "...Daddy is fine. , take the medicine and you’ll be fine.”

The father and daughter played affectionately for a while, and Shen Hanyan only thought that Beitang Rongdu had just recovered from his illness, so he didn't want him to bother him too much, so he didn't let Beitang Jiaqi hang around her father for too long , just ordered people to take their daughter down to eat snacks, Beitang Jiaqi was also very well-behaved, and hugged Beitang Rongdu with her arms around her neck. After the daughter left, she drank the remaining warm tea in the cup and sighed: "...It's so fast, in a blink of an eye, Jiaqi has grown up and sensible." Said, casually went to play with the small table beside her. A bottle of newly folded red plums, the flowers are kept in a clear water goblet, the flowers are kept in a clear water, the color is bright, and the fragrance stays in the hand. Seeing the charming look, Shen Hanyan next to him raised his hand to support the red gold crown on the top of his head, with a leisurely posture, seeing that the clothes worn by Beitang Rongdu were warm enough, obviously he was taken care of very carefully in the palace, Then he nodded and said: "I think the people in the palace are serving you well during this period of time, but it's better than not being comfortable at home. I remember that when my wife was alive, there were many prescriptions for recuperating the body. It doesn't matter whether it is good or not. , Let’s rectify it first, you can take care of your body, it’s better than anything else.”

Seeing Shen Hanyan like this, Beitang Rongdu thought for a while, even though he was not really sick, but there is no harm in recuperating left and right. There is probably nothing inappropriate, so I just responded immediately, then smiled and said casually: "What's the matter, since you think it's good, just try it." Shen Hanyan agreed with a smile, his skin was as white as thin jade There was a faint trace of blood on the bottom, and he waved his hand to signal the waiters in the Nuan Pavilion to retreat. The two talked on the phone again, and then stretched their arms around Beitang Rongdu's shoulders, only pinched slightly through the cloth. Squeezing, looking at the other person's body, he felt that he was a little thinner, so he couldn't help frowning, while reaching out to hold Beitang Rongdu's hand, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said: "...you Since I have suffered from this illness recently, I am afraid that my body has been damaged to some extent, but I have to take care of it carefully, so as not to cause any problems in the future. I think your cough problem is not just after the illness. Did you just suffer from it, but you never pay attention to it in your daily life, and when I say it, you just deal with it casually and don't take it to heart."

Beitang Rongdu knew that Shen Hanyan had always cared about him, so he couldn't help softening his tone, and said: "...I have always been strong, so you don't have to worry about me all the time. I used to be young, and you always It’s fine to take care of it a little bit, but now that I’m at this age, you’re still thinking about what to do, just take care of our happy life, that’s all.” Hearing these words, Shen Hanyan stretched out his hand to gently caress Looking at Beitang Rongdu's thin cheeks, a pair of crystal clear and dark eyes, fixedly looking at the young man, he felt an indescribable intimacy and tenderness in his heart, and said with a smile: "I don't know why, but I always think you are the same as before. When I was young, I couldn't help being a little bit wordy." Beitang Rongdu and him have been husband and wife for many years, but also like brothers and friends. How can ordinary people compare their feelings, so he said with a smile: "...I don't think it's wordy." Shen Hanyan looked at Beitang Rongdu who was sitting next to him, and saw that his eyebrows were raised and his nose was straight, and he was extremely handsome. The flesh on his body has slightly faded, and he is not as radiant as before, but his eyes are still looking forward to Yiyi as always, and his heart feels at ease, so he embraces Beitang Rongdu in his arms, and kisses the other's thin and translucent snow white The earlobe couldn't help calling softly, saying: "...Beitang."

Beitang Rongdu gave a slight 'hmm', but smiled without saying a word, just stretched his brows, and sat side by side with the young man. At that time, there were only two of them left in the room, so they naturally quieted down. The occasional 'cracking' sound of the silver charcoal in the charcoal basin echoed the sound of the wind outside the window, which made people feel at ease and stable. Shen Hanyan was chatting and laughing with Beitang Rongdu, while slowly Caressing Beitang Rongdu's ink-colored soft hair, the wide sky-blue sleeves covered with pearls and silver threads hung down quietly from the kang, and after a pause, Fang said: "...you just came back today, let's rest first. Hearing the words, Beitang Rongdu moved his body slightly, turned his head to look at Shen Hanyan next to him, then smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to tuck the strands of hair scattered around the young man's ears behind his ears, and said: " ...I'm a little hungry right now, do you have anything to eat here? Tell them to get some random dishes and cook some porridge."

Hearing what he said, Shen Hanyan ordered some simple dishes to be prepared, and after a while, the things were delivered, and he put down the small kang table. Beitang Rongdu saw that it turned out to be a cup of rouge red fragrant rice porridge, with four delicate dishes, There was a pot of steaming hot soup, but it was nothing more than light things like bamboo shoots, shredded tofu, and no trace of meat. He hadn't eaten recently, and he only ate soup every day. Now he felt that his injuries were almost healed, so he Just thinking about serving meat today, seeing that the dishes are lacklustre, he smiled and said, "Why are you feeding me like a monk?" Shen Hanyan started serving porridge for Beitang Rongdu, and said, "It's better to be light when you're sick. Your body is recovering now, but you should eat more porridge, rice and vegetables, and it will be safe to clean up, and it will not be too late tomorrow." Beitang Rongdu didn't take it too seriously, and ate some casually, because he had been eating for many days I have never had a grain of rice in my stomach, so even if it is a light meal now, it is very sweet.

For a while, Rongdu in Beitang stopped eating, took another cup of tea to rinse his mouth, and then spit the tea into the enamel spittoon placed on the ground. Beitang Rongdu's mouth, Beitang Rongdu leaned forward and opened his mouth naturally, drank a small cup, and then leaned back on the gold-sprinkled flower python pillow piled up on the kang, chatting with Shen Hanyan talk.

While the two were chatting lightly, Shen Hanyan suddenly remembered something, and felt that he should talk to Beitang Rongdu briefly, but he didn't know if it was inappropriate to mention it like this now, Beitang Rongdu had sharp eyes, Seeing that Shen Hanyan seemed to have a different expression for a moment, he knew that the young man probably had something to say to him, so he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked, "...Han Yan, what, do you have something to tell me?" What do I say?" Shen Hanyan listened, holding the red plums in the bottle next to him with one hand, the thin and bright flowers are very bright red and lovely, making the young man's complexion more clear, and said: "Beitang, Luer came over just now , It reminded me of one thing." Beitang Rong Du listened to the other party talking about Beitang Jiaqi, he couldn't help cheering up, smiled between his brows, nodded and said: "...Oh, what's the matter?" Han Yan took a thin blanket and put it on Beitang Rongdu's lap, and said, "Actually, it would be a little early if I said it seriously, I think too far, but it's not a trivial matter...Beitang, you Seeing that Luer is already a little sensible now, and in a few more years, she can be regarded as a complete little girl, what do you think about her future marriage?"

When Beitang Rongdu heard that it was such a thing, he couldn't help being stunned for a while, then laughed again, patted Shen Hanyan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I still think it's something, So it turned out to be this... You, you are thinking too far, Jiaqi is only about three years old now, how can we talk about this? It's still early, don't make a rash engagement, wait for her to gradually It’s not too late to say it, depending on her mind.” After saying this, she unconsciously smiled and put her right arm behind her head, looked at Shen Hanyan and said, “Although it is said that parents have to think long-term for their children. , but it’s not like you are so calculating, you’re too impatient.” Shen Hanyan sat down in front of him, and said with a smile: “You and I are both men, so it’s okay. It doesn’t matter about these things. It is very common for men to start a family after establishing a career. It doesn’t matter if they are older, and it’s okay to procrastinate, but women are different. It’s not good to be a little older. It's also humble, just a concubine's room, but..."

Hearing this, Beitang Rongdu immediately interrupted what Shen Hanyan had said, changed his face slightly, and asked coldly: "...Why, could it be that someone dared to chew his tongue in front of Jiaqi, saying Are there any? Or who dares to neglect the child because she is raised by a concubine? If there are such courageous slaves, tie them up as soon as possible, and kill them all!" Shen Hanyan saw that Beitang Rongdu was agitated, and quickly comforted him: "You get anxious before you finish listening, what a temper! How can there be such a bold slave in this palace, who dare to talk nonsense like this, you will die. Luer is your own flesh and blood, the eldest granddaughter of the king, who dares to underestimate her... What I meant just now was that although her biological mother died young and her status was lower, she is just a concubine, but now she Being born in a family like ours, and being loved by you and me, it is naturally precious, and marriage must not be sloppy, you have to pick a first-class man to match." Beitang Rongdu felt relieved when he heard this With a pale face, he nodded and said, "This is natural."

Seeing Beitang Rongdu's reaction, Shen Hanyan picked some unimportant words and said a few words to him casually. After pondering for a while, he said slowly: "... let's not talk about anything else, Beitang, I I just want to ask you one thing, Mr. Mu's family...do you think it's okay?"

"...Huh?" Beitang Rongdu originally laughed it off, but at this moment, hearing Shen Hanyan's nonsensical words, some doubts arose in his heart, and he raised his eyes and said: "His family is naturally good. They are relatives and the governor has plans. Otherwise, how could I get close to the Mufu's house?...But now that you suddenly ask this, could something happen?" Shen Hanyan couldn't tell the whole thing right away, so he only mentioned it briefly, and said: "General Mu is now an official of the Qing Palace, and he is often there. Bring some delicate things that children like to Luer..." Beitang Rongdu is so smart, although Shen Hanyan only showed a little bit of wind, but when he changed his mind slightly, how could there be anything else? Those who didn't understand felt ridiculous for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you thinking about in your head? Mu Qinghan is already in her 20s, how old is Jiaqi? A little girl who still smells like milk Forget it, how could Mu Qinghan have that meaning? Besides, if you talk about it in detail, he is still Jiaqi's elder, and Jiaqi can be called uncle."

Hearing what Beitang Rongdu said, Shen Hanyan didn't refute, but said, "Of course I understand all this, but I see that General Mu and Lu'er are really close, and with his temperament, it shouldn't be like this. Those who like children..." When the young man said this, he couldn't help but paused, hesitated for a moment, but finally continued: "Beitang, don't forget, who exactly is Luer like..."

As soon as this remark came out, the smile on Beitang Rongdu's face suddenly froze. At the beginning, he made the appearance of 'Rongrong' resemble Beitangjia, but Beitang Jiaqi is still young now, but his facial features have also begun to look different. It can be seen that it resembles Beitangjia. In this way, isn't it somewhat similar to 'Rongrong'?I don't know if it's because the father and daughter are united, and even their temperament is a bit like the 'Rong Rong' played by Beitang Rongdu. Seeing Beitang Rongdu's pensive look, he said again: "Actually, the Mu family has always been on good terms with us. If General Mu takes it seriously... To be honest, I'm not happy. Seniority, but to be honest, General Mu can't fault his appearance, character, or temperament. His family background is good, and he has a bright future. After all, this matter is up to you, I can't make up my mind, I just need to tell you clearly."

Hearing these words, Beitang Rongdu couldn't help thinking over and over again in his heart. It stands to reason that Beitang Rongdu never thought that Mu Qinghan would have any intersection with his daughter Beitang Jiaqi. The entanglement between Mu Qinghan and himself and Beitang Zunyue, and the age gap made the two of them seem incompatible, but Beitang Rongdu always felt guilty towards Mu Qinghan for some reason. Xin, if Mu Qinghan can really transfer his thoughts about 'Rongrong' to Beitang Jiaqi, it may not be a disguised compensation. As for things like seniority, Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, was married Princess Lu Yuan's daughter, Zhang Yan, is the queen. Speaking of the relationship between Beitang Jiaqi and Mu Qinghan, it has been several generations. It's too selfish to fill up one's guilt, Beitang Rongdu couldn't bear it in his heart, so he couldn't help shaking his head immediately, and said: "...This is not suitable, although he is very good, but Jiaqi is still young now, Besides, he may not really be thinking this way, maybe he just likes children, you are thinking too much... Besides, this is a major event in Jiaqi's life, and you have to wait for her to think clearly in her heart when she grows up Otherwise, if she doesn't like someone, but we make an arrangement for her, even if everything is good, if she doesn't want it in her heart, why bother."

Shen Hanyan heard what Beitang Rongdu said, but he secretly let go of his heart. In fact, how could he want to let Beitang Jiaqi have any entanglements with Mu Qinghan? If nothing else, he only said that Beitang Jiaqi is still alive now. Little, how do you know these things, if it is really settled down, and after Beitang Jiaji grows up gradually, but has no affection for Mu Qinghan, wouldn't it mean that he will never be happy for the rest of his life?It's just that Shen Hanyan knew that Beitang Rongdu had always felt deeply guilty towards Mu Qinghan. If Mu Qinghan really wanted it, maybe Beitang Rongdu would really be able to deal with this matter, so Shen Hanyan moved ahead of time. Take a side-by-side look, explore the meaning of Beitang Rongdu, and then make a fuss.

Shen Hanyan nodded for a while, and the matter was put aside first, and then the two had to gossip again, so let it go.

That day, Beitang Rongdu stayed in Qionghua Palace. At night, until Beitang Rongdu fell asleep, Shen Hanyan was still lighting the lamp outside to check the accounts. , Shen Hanyan was taking cool oil and slowly rubbing his temples, but someone suddenly said outside: "...Master." Shen Hanyan frowned involuntarily, and asked someone to come in. Not long after, he saw a eunuch bowing towards him, He took out a thin bamboo tube from his sleeve and held it up with both hands. Shen Hanyan read the note from it expressionlessly, then put it on the candle and burned it, signaling the eunuch to step down Leaning back in the chair, he slightly closed his eyes.

In the early morning of the second day, Shen Hanyan ordered people to prepare chariots and horses. He only said that he would pray for the good fortune of the Beitang, and went to the temple to offer incense. After a while, all the idlers and others had left. Shen Hanyan put a stick of incense in front of the Buddha, and was silent. While praying, I heard someone coldly saying behind the Buddha statue: "... I thought you were too happy to leave." Shen Hanyan was not surprised when he heard this, but remained silent. The man sneered and said: "Why, did you really fall in love with that Beitang Rongdu? ... Also, after all these years you have spent time with him, Iron Stone Man is probably getting warmed up, and there is another girl by his side, life is going well, come to think of it I also forgot what to do."

Hearing the words, Shen Hanyan suddenly raised his head, and said word by word: "I haven't forgotten...but, who asked you to kill him? I don't care what you do to others, but you can't touch him! Back then, you were in the west. I almost got in among the assassins and took the opportunity to kill him, if he didn't have some means of self-protection... I have already said that you can't do anything to him!" The man just sneered when he heard this, and said: "...you really treat Bei Is Tang Rongdu emotional? Let me tell you, it’s useless. Do you think that he will fail like you? Sooner or later, he will get tired of you and tire of you. change, let alone someone like Beitang Rongdu!"

The man said, with a cold look on his face, and said: "Why, listen to me, are you uncomfortable? Do you think that he treats you well now and will not treat you like this in the future?... Let me tell you , if you take it seriously that everything remains the same in this world, it would be strange, you should be clearer, so as not to regret it in the future." Shen Hanyan listened to these words, but his expression did not change, the man saw that he was calm as usual, Can't help but sneer: "You see clearly who you are, Beitang Rongdu treats you well now, but if he finds out what's going on in the future, do you think he will have any affection for you? You two The more we were friends in the past, the more we will become enemies in the future, how much he values ​​your relationship with him, and how much he will hate you in the future... Do you understand all of this?" The man spoke up to this point, his tone There was an extremely cold smell in the middle, looking at Shen Hanyan whose complexion had turned slightly pale, he sneered, Shen Hanyan didn't say a word, only his hands in his sleeves were slowly clenched into fists.
