Your Majesty has been secretly in love with me for many years

After Qixi Festival is the Beginning of Autumn.

This year's rain is not abundant, and the grain harvest is [-]% lower than last year. In addition, salt prices in various places have risen one after another, and the living standards of farmers have declined.

Lin Huai'en went to the internal history to discuss the reduction of this year's tax. In addition to the victory of the war, a lot of military food can be transferred from the treasury.

But how much food can be adjusted, and there is no certain number.

Nei Shi said: "How much rations should be reserved? My lord may wish to ask General Xue."

Lin Huai'en pursed her lips, feeling a little hesitant.

In the afternoon, Lin Huai'en returned to his mansion with a case file.In the hall, the two little ones were playing with a small ball and throwing things.And the tall Xue Dingchu half squatted beside the blanket, placed toys for them, and taught them how to throw the ball from time to time.

"Father...Father..." Zi Ling shouted childishly, but not to Lin Huai'en, but to Xue Dingchu.When Xue Dingchu heard it, he understood the meaning, and handed the pink tassel to Ziling's little hand.

Ziling has always liked Xue Dingchu very much, and always called Xue Dingchu her father. Every time she saw Xue Dingchu, she stretched out her little hand and begged for someone else to hug her. Even Lin Huai'en was useless in hugging her.Lin Huai'en wondered in his heart, if this continues, he, his own father, should abdicate in his daughter's heart.

Lin Huai'en pondered for a moment, then said: "Dingchu, I have something to discuss, are you free now?"

Xue Dingchu's back trembled, he looked back, and took a look at Lin Huai'en with his dark eyes.This look is quite complicated, as if it is mixed with many emotions, but it is still calm on the surface.

Lin Huai'en walked first, while Xue Dingchu followed behind.

The two of them haven't spoken for a long time.When the memory was blurred, they had a brief moment of intimacy similar to that of a husband and wife.But now that Lin Huai'en has recovered his memory, those mistakes have become embarrassing and absurd, causing a rift between the two of them.

Xue Dingchu still didn't talk much, he just followed Lin Huai'en quietly, listening to his words firmly in his ears, including Lin Huai'en's request to adjust the military rations, and he readily agreed.

Along the way of the conversation, he was making up his mind, he was listening to his mind, as if he was still the little overlord at the entrance of the village, and the little follower.

Relying on Xue Dingchu's quiet and gentle aura, Lin Huai'en unknowingly let go, and even his expression became much more vivid, "It's not too late, let's go to the treasury to order food immediately."

The corners of Xue Dingchu's eyes slightly curved, and he nodded to him.

At this moment, Xue Dingchu secretly let go of his hand, his palms were covered with hot sweat.He was actually very nervous and cramped, but in order to eliminate Lin Huai'en's embarrassment, he pretended nothing happened.

Royal study.

Di Shaoze held the wood carving and scraped the corners with a small knife, cutting out long and thin corners.He has always been good at painting, but woodcarving emphasizes three-dimensionality more than painting scrolls, so it takes more work.

Eunuch Ding reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin and Lord Xue are here."

The knife slanted and cut Di Shaoze's fingertips, and bright red blood dripped out.

Di Shaoze frowned slightly, "Xuan."

Di Shaoze hid the woodcarving behind the chair, and watched Xue Lin enter the study.The two of them were in front of each other, even in sync with each other.It might even be better to say that Xue Dingchu is completely following Lin Huai'en's pace.

Xue Dingchu is always like this, with a look full of Lin Huai'en.Every time Di Shaoze saw his eyes on Lin Huai'en, he felt uncomfortable, and sometimes he felt so uncomfortable that he just wanted to hide Lin Huai'en tightly.

But Di Shaoze couldn't do that.In other words, it was possible in the past, but it is not possible now.

Lin Huai'en said: "Has Your Majesty read the brochure delivered by the minister?"

Di Shaoze's eyes flicked back and forth between Xue Lin, caring about the close distance between their bodies, and replied casually: "Well... Aiqing can go to the treasury to get it. No matter how much food and money, I can do it according to Aiqing's will." .”

Lin Huai'en saluted and said, "I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the people."

Seeing Lin Huai'en turned around to leave, Di Shaoze couldn't help getting up, "Do you need me to accompany Aiqing?"

Lin Huai'en said, "No need."

Di Shaoze could only stay where he was. Seeing Xue Dingchu follow Lin Huai'en, he felt even more uncomfortable. It was as if tens of thousands of ants were biting his whole body, and he couldn't relieve his anxiety.

Di Shaoze still couldn't help but followed.But in order not to let Wynn find out and not make Wynn angry, Di Shaoze followed him very carefully and secretly, not much worse than being a thief.

Lin Huai'en went to the treasury, followed by Nei Shi who was waiting at the door, and counted the stored grain together.Xue Dingchu estimated the grain consumption of the military camp in autumn at about 500 million shi.

However, grain storage in military camps is not just a way to transport grain from the treasury, and the requirement can be relaxed to 300 million shi of grain.

The internal history sighed: "The military rations are 300 million, and the people's porridge must be transferred at least 300 million. The treasury is only 550 million shi, and there is still a shortfall of 50 shi..."

Lin Huai'en's apricot eyes rolled around, revealing a bit of depression, but he quickly raised his head again, "There is still a place where food is stored..."

What Lin Huaien said was the inner library.If the treasury is a public asset, the internal treasury is the private money of Emperor Shaoze.When Lin Huaien was still the queen, he managed the warehouse.

After hearing Lin Huai'en's idea, Nei Shi hesitated and said, "This...you should go, my lord..."

As a courtier, he dare not take off His Majesty's "underpants", especially this kind of private money, which is the last trace of a man's dignity.But Lin Huaien is different. He is His Majesty's ex-wife and favorite minister, but His Majesty will not do anything to him.

Seeing that the internal history confessed, Lin Huai'en didn't say much, and led Xue Dingchu to walk around the palace.The generals guarding the gate let them go one by one.

Beside the gatehouse of the inner treasury, when the female officer in charge saw Lin Huai'en, there was a hint of surprise between her brows, "Queen...Master Lin...Why are you back?"

Seeing the old man, Lin Huai'en's eyebrows were gentle, and he explained: "I need to use the food here."

It was obviously not a good time to reminisce about the old days, so the female officer didn't talk much, and only opened the door of the inner vault.There are a lot of money, jewelry and food in the inner treasury.Lin Huai'en counted the stored food, and it was 60 shi for a full load, which was enough to fill in the gaps.

Kara... the masonry moved.A hidden door opens.

Xue Dingchu quickly withdrew his hand, he had an occupational disease, and when he saw this kind of completely enclosed secret room, he couldn't help but check the structure, and found His Majesty's dark room.

In the dark room, there are many scrolls hanging on the wall - see the inscription in the lower corner, all of them were painted on Lin Huai'en's birthday, and the paintings are of Lin Huai'en from 25 to [-] years old.

Lin Huai'en stepped inside and traced the scroll with his fingertips, full of nostalgia in his chest and lungs.It turned out that when I was young, I was so high-spirited, suffered so many hardships, and suffered so many stumbles, but I couldn't hide the ambition and ambition in my eyebrows.

There are also many clothes and old things in the dark room.Each has a nostalgic meaning, and they all record a certain moment in Lin Huai'en's time.Lin Huai'en traced them one by one, as if greeting an old friend.

Looking at Lin Huai'en's expression, Xue Dingchu couldn't help but ask, "These things, these traces, including that person, must be hard to let go of, right?"

"It's very difficult." With sober eyes, Lin Huai'en withdrew his hand, stepped back slowly, and looked around the land of memories, "So you should know how determined I was to goug him out of my heart. Yes He made me understand from the pain that what is hidden in the years is the best."

Lin Huai'en's words showed determination, "Now, I only hope to live in harmony with him not too close or far away. My first ten years can't help being broken..."

Di Shaoze's heart trembled, and his figure slowly retracted into the darkness, not knowing how to deal with himself.

Yes, he only has the friendship from the previous ten years, and it's just a little different in Lin Huai'en's heart.If she acted rashly again, she might lose even the last bit of emotion...

Di Shaoze's eyes darkened, and a cool breeze blew in his heart.

Xue Dingchu said: "You still have me. He has your youth, and I have your beginning. He has changed, but I have never changed."

At such a moment, such words are undoubtedly heart-warming.Lin Huai'en's almond eyes trembled slightly, and was poked somewhere in his heart by these words.

Xue Dingchu raised his arm and clasped Lin Huai'en's wrist. His wrist was extremely strong, revealing an almost stubborn strength...
