"Come in." Zhou Yan raised his eyes and said, "Boss Lu has worked hard."

Director Lu understood, screened off the palace people, took them down, and closed the palace gate after Princess Nanping entered.

Zhou Yan stopped what he was doing, stroked the white jade finger on his thumb, stared at Nanping and said, "Do you want to marry Pu Chen?"

Nanping was terrified, she didn't know how Zhou Yan knew what she was thinking, so she quickly knelt down, bowed her head, and didn't say a word.

Zhou Yan chuckled twice: "We are really brothers and sisters." Nan Ping was puzzled and raised his head to look at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan continued, "I wanted to betroth you to Da Sima after this New Year's banquet. After you get married and give birth to a son, I can rest assured that I will hand over the military power of Wuchang to your children."

"What about Da Sima?" Nanping asked.

Zhou Yan asked: "Is that important? Anyway, his child is also named Pu."

Nan Ping bit her lip, she had seen too many things in the palace, she had already become numb.However, if Pu Chen really became her husband, she would never allow such a thing to happen.

"I was worried that you didn't want to marry to Wuchang, but I didn't want you to have this fate with Da Sima. It's just..." Zhou Yan frowned.

Nanping looked at Zhou Yan suspiciously, and Zhou Yan continued, "You haven't heard about the fate of Da Sima that has been rumored in the past two days, have you?"

Nanping shook his head.

Zhou Yan sighed and said: "He is actually a seven-kill fate, restraining his father and restraining his wife and son."

Nanping took a deep breath, but it was only for a moment. She looked into Zhou Yan's eyes and said, "I'm not afraid. The theory of fate is vain."

"Oh?" Zhou Yan's eyes sparkled, "As expected of my sister. I never believe in fate!"

Nanping's eyes filled with joy for a moment.Zhou Yan understood, but said: "I don't believe in the theory of fate, but I can't betroth you to him now."

"Why?"

"Now the whole of Jiankang knows that he is the Lord of the Seven Killing Stars, and he is in the filial piety period. If I rush to betroth you to him at this time, wouldn't it be shameful for my royal family?"

"The emperor is going to..."

"Let's forget about this matter. I will betroth you to a talented person with both Jiankang and morality, so you can forget about him."

"Isn't the emperor planning to marry the Pu family?"

Zhou Yan twirled his fingers again, and said bitterly: "If he, Pu Chen, wants to survive, he can only marry a woman from my royal family!"

"Then why can't I?" Nanping asked eagerly.

Zhou Yan looked at his younger sister. He rarely paid attention to this younger sister. In his impression, she was always weak and submissive. But at this moment, the light in her eyes surprised him a little.He hesitated and said: "You...you are already twenty. I will make an engagement for you as soon as possible. As for Pu Chen, didn't Duke Yuanhua say that he should not get married within three years? I will wait for him for three years, after three years of filial piety Once full, I will give you a marriage right away."

"I can wait!" Nan Ping straightened his neck and stared at Zhou Yan.

"You will be 23 in three years. I am not a princess who is not over [-] and unmarried. Besides, you are still the eldest princess."

"Why not?" Nan Ping said, "Since the emperor originally wanted to marry the Pu family, then it is the best choice for me to go. Da Sima has the fate of restraining his wife, and I can also use prophecy, or enter the dream One said, it means that God wants me to marry Pu Shi."

"You..." Zhou Yan hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense!" In the Jing Dynasty, from the nobles of the palace to the common people of the Li people, they firmly believed in the theory of fate and prophecy, or there were immortals and saints who entered their dreams. Strange talks are also followed.Because of this, it is a taboo to fabricate prophecies, or to dream of immortals.Although Zhou Yan didn't believe this, he didn't expect Nanping to think of fabricating prophecies and dreams in order to marry Pu Chen.

"Brother Huang, don't you believe this too?" Nan Ping said.

"If these things are spread, you will have no choice but to marry him. What's more, it will be three years later, why bother?"

"Nanping has no regrets." After Nanping said, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Wuchang, spring in March.

After returning to Wuchang, Pu Chen felt refreshed physically and mentally.The white rabbit lantern he bought for Wen Tao at the Lantern Festival was brought back by Wen Tao and placed on their bedside.Sometimes, they will also light this lantern at night, and the red eyes are really lovely in the candlelight.

Pu Chen looked at Wen Tao's face, then at the rabbit lantern, and couldn't help sighing: "Taotao, you really look like it."

"Where does it look like?" Wen Tao looked confused.

"It's the most similar now." Pu Chen said happily.He pointed at Wen Tao's dazed look, "It's exactly the same."

"Hmph." Wen Tao snorted softly, picked up the civet cat and said, "I think someone is exactly the same as Taotao."

Pu Chen smiled, and even brought the cat over and said, "Do you think I look like it or like you?"

"Of course it's like it." Wen Tao said.

"But..." Pu Chen whispered in Wen Tao's ear, "You are also Taotao, besides, if you are not like me, how did you deceive my Wuchang army by wearing my iron armor during the Battle of Wuchang?" ?”

Wen Tao turned his head and did not speak.

But Pu Chen chased Wen Tao's earlobe and said: "My personal guards all said that the 'patriarch' who wore black armor in those days couldn't even see the flaws in his walking posture. Did you like me a long time ago? How do I even know how to walk?"

Wen Tao bit his lip and countered: "What about you? After we took back Liangzhou and returned to Wuchang, did you pretend to be drunk and come to my room on purpose? It made me want to move you out in the middle of the night and I couldn't move you."

Pu Chen laughed heartily, and continued to whisper in Wen Tao's ear, "Guess? Guess when I..." Pu Chen stretched out his hand to the welt on Wen Tao's neck, and his breath became weaker. Rough|Heavy, said in an airy voice, "Want to do this with you?"

Wen Tao was forced to retreat step by step on the bed, his brain spinning rapidly, and guessed: "When was Liangzhou?"

Pu Chen shook his head, and untied the straps of Wen Tao's jacket.

"After the change of the Chaoyang Palace?" Wen Tao recalled that they slept together in the same bed for more than a month.

Pu Chen peeled off Wen Tao's shirt: "Go ahead and guess."

Wen Tao made several guesses, but Pu Chen denied them all with a smile.Wen Tao was upset by the disturbance, his eyes were full of spring, his face was flushed, and Pu Chen couldn't hold back his ruthlessness that he would never give up until he got an answer.He hugged him and said into his ear: "At that time, you had the same expression as now, but you were facing another man. I was drugged and couldn't move, but I was so jealous that I was about to go crazy Crazy, if the king of Chu dared to touch you at that time, I would have killed him at that time, and there is no need to wait until the Chaoyang Palace."

Wen Tao's heart moved, his eyes were sly and he said: "Do you think my reaction at that time was for the sake of King Chu?"

In an instant, Pu Chen's heart surged with turbulent waves, and he lost his voice: "Isn't it?"

This time it was Wen Tao's turn to smile, and he smiled so beautifully. He put his lips next to Pu Chen's ear and said, "It's because someone was addicted to Mixiang and was not honest enough to put the cat's paw on my waist... ..."

Pu Chen's blood surged in an instant, and he moved too much, causing Taotao to scream "meow meow", the civet cat finally jumped out of the bed resentfully, and when he jumped down, he even scratched the white rabbit lantern on the bedside.

59, 59.

During Qingming, Pu Chen and Wen Tao went to visit Mr. Wei's tomb.When they came back, they didn’t take a car, they led Pu Chen’s horse, the grass was long and the grass was covered by their boots, and the wind and rain were all over their faces, not as lofty and indifferent as Mingxiang in Guangling, but Wen Tao felt very like.Growing up so big, it was the first time that he seemed to be alive for the first time. Those that appeared in his life at this moment, Chunhua, Asakusa, Qingfeng, Liuyun, and this person beside him, were truly enveloping with him.

In the distance, there was a sound of horseshoes.Pu Chen was a little frustrated and said: "Fusheng didn't steal it for half a day."

Wen Tao took a look on tiptoe and said, "It's Tang Yu. If it wasn't for something urgent, he wouldn't be the one who came to find you."

Tang Yu reined in his horse and stopped in front of the two of them, and reported: "The guards who followed Dai Wang to Beiyan peace talks have returned, and they have something urgent to see the Patriarch."

Pu Chen's heart trembled, and he rode back with Wen Tao.On that day, he sent more than a dozen personal guards to accompany Dai Wang, and agreed that he would go to meet him if something happened. From this point of view, Dai Wang's trip to Beiyan must have been troubled.

When the two arrived at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, five of the guards they had sent came back, and one of them was wearing a sky-blue cloak.As soon as the man turned around, Wen Tao said in surprise: "Qi Dai, why are you here?"

Qi Dai glanced around, Wen Tao understood, and gave Pu Chen a wink.Pu Chen said: "Tang Yu, take the brothers down first, they must be tired after running around for a few days."

After Tang Yu took the people away, only Wen Tao, Pu Chen, and Qi Dai were left in the hall.Qi Dai glanced at Pu Chen, hesitant to speak.Wen Tao said: "Now I am the counselor of Da Sima, and I never hide it from him."

"Alright." Qi Dai took off his cloak and said to Pu Chen, "I've met Da Sima."

Pu Chen nodded in return.Wen Tao said: "Why are you together with Pu's personal guards?"

"I invited myself to join the Daiwang's mission, and later escaped as Pu's bodyguard." Qi Dai said concisely.

"What happened to Dai Wang?" Pu Chen heard the seriousness of the matter, and frowned.

Qi Dai looked directly at Wen Tao: "Can you practice what you promised me before?"

"What did you promise him?" Pu Chen was alert.

Wen Tao smiled lightly: "I can handle it." Then he said to Qi Dai, "Of course I can do what I promised."

"That's good." Qi Dai saluted Pu Chen respectfully, "I want to borrow Wen Tao, the chief secretary of the mansion from Da Sima, and follow me to Beiyan."

Pu Chen's face was a bit ugly, but he tried his best to control it: "You want him to go to Beiyan
