King's Landing [Rebirth]

At night, the cool breeze blows gently, and the lights in the middle of the veil are extinguished, making it difficult to see the ambiguous figures. Only the lanterns hanging from the four corners of the painting boat are left, dancing against the faint sound of silk and bamboo on both sides of the Qinhuai River and the moonlight.

Wang Shuzhi couldn't help but hold Sima Rong tightly in his arms, pressed against his forehead, sighed contentedly, and called out the word "Yan Qing" vaguely, raised his lips and stamped on the tip of his nose, revealing A bit indulgent: "I can wait."

Sima Rong closed his eyes and didn't struggle anymore, but his mind was like a flat boat in a huge wave, it was pitched and heaved violently, and it might be completely capsized by a wave at any time, he didn't know whether he was awake or asleep in a daze, he seemed to be back again. When I arrived at the Tingyun Palace where the grass was knee-deep, I was no longer a weak body.

He was dressed in brocade clothes, standing at the entrance of the high hall, watching the maids and servants below cleaning up the weeds profusely, watching the outside of the hall gradually recover, but his heart became empty, he was at a loss, He vaguely heard someone calling "Yan Qing" softly behind him, but when he turned his head, he saw only the cold and empty hall.

He walked in in a daze, searched every corner, but still couldn't see that person, his face turned pale, and his feet continued to walk in uncontrollably, but the sparrow-sized Tingyun Temple turned into a bottomless pit, and the more As he walked deeper and darker, a sense of despair welled up in his heart. He stopped and looked around, and he couldn't even see the way he had come.

Wang Shuzhi woke up in the middle of the night, feeling that the person in his arms was sleeping extremely unsteadily, looked down at him seriously, and stroked his back with one hand.

Sima Rong's frowning brows gradually relaxed, subconsciously raised his hand to put on his waist, leaned against him again, and whispered: "Prime Minister..."

Wang Shuzhi's hand trembled, and he was suddenly stunned.

Sima Rong's hands around his waist tightened, his stiff body gradually relaxed, even the breath he exhaled became long and soothing, his eyes and brows were somewhat at ease, and he slept very peacefully.

A firefly came in through the gap in the veil and flew between the two of them without a sound. The tiny stream of light flashed in Wang Shuzhi's deep black eyes. Kissed and laughed silently.

The next day, a ray of morning light cast on the painting boat, and the two people in the veil remained motionless, as if they were deeply asleep.

Wang Ting hesitated on the shore for a while, tiptoed to the stern of the boat a few times, gritted his teeth and retreated to the shore, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

After waiting like this for a long while, there were already people coming and going on both sides of the Qinhuai River, but the boat was still peaceful. The two people didn't know whether they hadn't woken up or didn't want to get up after waking up, and there was no movement at all.All the pavilions guarding the side were sweating profusely, and they looked at each other with the same determination in their eyes: don't disturb!Will be thrown into the river and drowned!

In the veil, Sima Rong had already woken up, but he didn't open his eyes. He remembered the dream he had when he was in a daze, and felt an inexplicable fear. He suddenly didn't know how to face the person lying beside him.

But Wang Shuzhi kept his eyes open, staring at him without blinking, with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, quite patient.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Wang Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and whispered to the servant who rushed over from the mansion: "Just say that the prime minister drank too much wine last night and fell asleep."

The servant nodded with a bitter expression on his face, and was about to go back to answer when he suddenly heard a soft and smiling voice from behind: "Hasn't had a good sleep for several nights?"

All the pavilions and pavilions turned stiff, turned around and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Madam!"

Immediately afterwards, the guards guarding the inconspicuous place on the shore also came out one after another, and they also clasped their fists to salute, and each of them was full of air: "I have seen Madam!"

This movement even alarmed the people on the other side of the river. Naturally, it was impossible for the two people in the painting boat to pretend to be asleep again. Wang Shuzhi was surprised but also a little surprised. Seeing Sima Rong opened his eyes, he hurriedly hugged him and kissed him on the forehead. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect my mother to come here."

Sima Rong was a little embarrassed at first, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a smile in his eyes, and he didn't hide any discomfort. His heartstrings were suddenly twitched, and his heart softened a little for no reason.

The two got up in a hurry, straightened their slightly messy clothes and hair buns, and as soon as they lifted the veil, they saw Mrs. Wang stepping onto the stern with her skirt in hand. Don't you want to send a message in advance? I can also send someone to pick it up."

Mrs. Wang didn't even look at him, instead she looked at Sima Rong nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "If I send a message in advance, how can I have the chance to see the majestic Prime Minister who sleeps until noon and refuses to wake up?"

Wang Shuzhi smiled without guilt: "Don't let people rest on the holiday? Mother, this is Yan Qing, do you remember?"

Sima Rong raised his sleeves and cupped his hands: "Yan Qing has seen Madam!"

"Remember, Yan Qing blocked the knife for you last time. I heard that this time he helped the Wang family in a critical moment. How could I not remember?" Mrs. Wang raised her hand with a smile, "There is no need to be polite."

Wang Shuzhi had no airs of a prime minister in front of her, and said with a smile: "I'm hungry, let's talk about it when we go back to the mansion."

"Hungry?" Mrs. Wang squinted at him, "I entered the city early in the morning, and I waited in the mansion for half a day without seeing you go back, so I thought you didn't know you were hungry. If I hadn't found you, you would have planned to be free." Go back tomorrow?"

Wang Shuzhi smiled indifferently, and coaxed her into the carriage with nice words without any excuse.

After returning to the prime minister's mansion, he hurriedly washed up and finished his breakfast, Sima Rong consciously avoided, leaving the two of them, mother and son, to talk.

But Wang Shuzhi chased him outside, and held him under the eaves. Thinking of the scene last night, his eyes were rippling, he tilted his head and kissed his lips, and said with a low laugh, "Come back early, I'll have dinner with you."

Sima Rong was slightly surprised, lowered his eyes and said: "My lady is here, my subordinates should observe the etiquette and eat at my own residence."

"You are not someone else, I will tell my mother."

Sima Rong's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Wang Shuzhi squeezed his palm: "I'm not forcing you, but I can't wait to tell my mother."

Sima Rong stared at him blankly, his chest seemed to be tightly clenched. After a moment of silence, he realized that his appearance was a little silly, so he quickly turned around and left in embarrassment without saying a word. At the place, Wang Shuzhi stood under the tree and looked up at himself. The appearance of smiling against the moonlight was vivid in his memory. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a continuous affection poured out of his dark eyes unconsciously.

Wang Shuzhi returned to the house, retreated from the servants who were waiting on the side, poured tea himself, and said with a smile: "Why did mother suddenly think of coming to the capital?"

Mrs. Wang took the teacup, suppressed her smile and sighed softly: "This time I encountered a catastrophe, but luckily I saved the day. It's just that I don't sleep well at night, so I always have to come and see you to be at ease."

Wang Shuzhi reassured: "It's over, mother don't need to worry too much."

Mrs. Wang smiled: "In a high position, it is inevitable to experience storms. I am not a person who can't take it easy. Seeing that you are all right now, I am naturally relieved." She took a sip and raised her eyes to look at him. After looking at it, he said, "But let go of this one thing, and pick up another thing. It's really a lot of trouble!"

Seeing her thought-provoking expression, Wang Shuzhi shook his head and smiled: "There is no need to play charades between mother and son, mother can just say what she wants."

Mrs. Wang put down the teacup and coughed lightly: "Let me ask you, on the boat last night, did you have an affair with Yan Qing?"

Wang Shuzhi asked her to speak directly, but he didn't expect her to be so direct, so he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Mrs. Wang seldom saw him in a daze, she was angry and funny: "So it's true?"

"Cough..." Wang Shuzhi coughed with a smile, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm going to wake up laughing from a dream."

Mrs. Wang only thought that he refused to admit it to death, and snorted coldly: "Stop pretending to me! I thought you were unusual to him when I was in Kuaiji, but I didn't know until I returned to the capital. It turns out that you have made him dizzy."

"It's not just that I'm dizzy, I'm afraid Yan Qing is even more dizzy than me." Wang Shuzhi interrupted hastily, with an innocent look on his face.

"Don't interrupt!" Mrs. Wang glared at him, "Now that you have become the talk of the common people after dinner, what this Prime Minister has done is absurd! How dare you hang out on the boat all night, what are you looking like!"

"It's so rare that you ran into me." Wang Shuzhi interjected again, with an even more innocent look.

Mrs. Wang was struggling to count, and asked him to interrupt twice, and then chewed on his words, which directly broke her skills. She laughed "puchi", and immediately sullenly said, "Speak well!"

Wang Shuzhi suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Then what does mother think about this matter?"

"What else can you think about? This is not a rare thing. Although it has never happened in our Wang family, but looking at the whole Jiangzuo, is there still a small number of male pets? It's just that you are young and haven't married a wife yet. It's time to restrain yourself. So you have to restrain yourself, don't go too far with the absurdity, lest in the future no daughter is willing to marry you, and it will be too late for you to regret it."

Wang Shuzhi patted his forehead helplessly: "Mother may have misunderstood, Yan Qing is not a man's favourite."

Mrs. Wang was startled, and stared at him: "Could it be you?!"

Wang Shuzhi couldn't laugh or cry: "I never regarded him as a male favorite. I hoped that he would accept me and spend this life with me. In the future, I will not marry a wife and have children."

"..." Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded, and it took a while to recover, and she said angrily, "This is making decisions without authorization? You haven't even discussed it with me!"

"Isn't this being discussed?"

"Look at you, you can't pull back these nine cows, what kind of discussion is this?"

Wang Shuzhi smiled flatteringly: "In my heart, no one can match him. Thinking that if we can't be together in the future and each marry an irrelevant woman, I will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. If my mother really loves me, she will treat him well." Be nice and don't scare him away."

Mrs. Wang glared at him with a dark face, and she couldn't get angry.

Wang Shuzhi hastily caressed her on the back: "Mother, don't get angry, I was also eager for a moment, so I spoke in a hurry."

Mrs. Wang took three sips of tea before she regained her strength. After thinking for a while, she said, "Listen to what you said, he doesn't want to be with you?"

Wang Shuzhi pretended to be depressed and nodded: "Oh..."

Mrs. Wang finally smiled again: "I don't think he is willing to be a male favourite."

"It's not a man's favorite."

Mrs. Wang ignored his correction and said happily: "It's better not to be willing. In this case, I will stay in the capital for a few more days and choose a good wife for you. By the way, I remember that you like long faces!"

"I just love Yan Qing's face."

Mrs. Wang pretended not to hear: "Do you like plump ones? Or thin ones?"

"I just love Yan Qing's figure."

Madam Wang glared at him.

Wang Shuzhi laughed: "My mother doesn't seem to object much, so I can rest assured."

"Why are you so unreasonable? When did I say..."

"It's good for mother to stay here for a few more days. You will like Yan Qing after getting along for a long time." Wang Shuzhi said with a smile, "It's rare to come here. Take a short break at noon. I'll take mother to swim in the lake, how about it?"

Madam Wang: "..."
