After the big guy wears the abusive text

"Brother Huang!" The sixth prince raised his voice, interrupted his words, his heart tightened, and he could barely squeeze out a smile.

"Brother Huang's words are wrong. If I say this, it will appear that I have a reputation as a bad guy and a girl." The sixth prince looked away, looked down at his feet, "Father Huang Mingjian, I just met Zhou Shaoqing in a martial arts competition, and I think he has legs. But Ji is agile and has a bit of admiration, so he got closer to him, and as for Miss Zhou, she is just a nodding acquaintance."

"I've heard people say that the emperor's younger brother came out of the Zhou family this morning." The prince said.

"Last night, I was looking for brother Zhou to compete. I just stayed in the Zhou mansion because I missed the moment when the palace gate closed." The sixth prince said while turning his head to look at the prince. Me, if Brother Huang didn't mention it, I wouldn't even remember where I came from this morning."

The prince laughed dryly twice.

Xueshi Huang, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Sixth Highness is the heir of the royal family after all, and the matter of bestowing a marriage needs careful consideration."

"That's natural. The royal father still needs to make the decision in order to bestow a marriage. The minister just saw that they are getting close and suggested a few words to share the worries of the royal father." The prince smiled kindly. no."

"Speak." The emperor, who hadn't spoken all this time, raised his arm.

After obtaining permission, the crown prince continued: "Back then, the matter of the great general of the hussars treated the Zhou family somewhat badly. The sixth younger brother is the prince. If the marriage is really given, then the girl of the Zhou family will be the main wife. It is also very important for the Zhou family. This great favor can be regarded as a comfort to General Zhou for his loyalty and bravery."

"Father..." The sixth prince got up when he heard the words, but was lifted by the emperor's hand, silenced the words behind him, and blushed sullenly.

The emperor glanced at the crowd below. Huang Xueshi and Song Canzheng did not dare to say anything from the beginning to the end, and now they lowered their heads and pretended to be absent. The prince's face was calm, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I think Qi'er's words are reasonable. I really owe a lot to the Zhou family, but the matter of giving a marriage is related to the face of the royal family, so it must not be sloppy."

"It's getting late, everyone, step down." The emperor waved his hand.

Although the sixth prince was anxious, but the long-faced servant at the side had already come forward to invite her, she had no choice but to step back and leave the Ganlu Hall, standing in the cold wind, frowning as she watched the prince proudly walk down the steps with his hands behind his back.

"What should I do?" She hesitated in her heart, and quickly jumped down with her arms folded. A guard in black followed her and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"I haven't visited the imperial concubine for a long time, go to Qiushui Palace." The sixth prince said anxiously.

But in Ganlu Hall, the air-conditioning that was drawn into the hall by the door opened and blew onto the table, the emperor turned pale, and suddenly leaned on the armchair and bent over to cough, until his pale face was red again when he coughed, but it was not a healthy rosy color.

"Hey, Your Majesty, you still haven't brought hot water!" The long-faced servant hurriedly supported the emperor, and yelled at the surrounding palace people.

"Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial physician?" the waiter with a long face asked worriedly.

The emperor knocked violently a few more times, shook his head, weak and sullen: "What's the use of calling them, a group of wine bags and rice bags, until now, they can't even discuss the cause of the disease!"

The waiter with a long face didn't dare to say much, so he could only take the tea with a bitter face and pass it to the emperor, but the emperor threw it to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"Check my bedroom carefully again, not to miss a single inch, and ask the imperial hospital for an urgent discussion. If there is no way to cure me in three days, they will all have their heads cut off!" The emperor gritted his teeth, slowly sat up straight, Lean on the back of the chair to relax.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The long-faced servant signaled to the palace servants at the side to pass on a message, and then said with a flattering smile, "Maybe it's because the weather has changed so quickly these days, why don't Your Majesty go back to the palace to rest?"

The emperor breathed slowly, with a rough voice, and after a long time, he said, "Do you think what the prince said is reasonable?"

The servant's face froze, and he quickly bowed his head: "How dare you say such a big matter, your Majesty will say yes."

The emperor sneered, his eyes under the thick eyebrows were cloudy, he looked at the messy desk and thought, and then said: "I remember this girl from the Zhou family is a little special."

"It's special, but now there is no power or power behind it. Apart from the imperial concubine, there is also an elder brother Zhou Shaoqing who serves in the court. When Zhou Shaoqing was found back, your majesty directly appointed Taichang Shaoqing because of his father."

Taichang Shaoqing, a mere fifth-rank official, is actually just a false title.

The emperor looked a little satisfied, raised his head and said, "Come to Zhou Shaoqing."

The servant hadn't left yet, so he added aloud: "Bring Miss Zhou along with you."

Ci Ke was still rarely happy because of what happened last night, but after hearing Zhou Hong's urgent message, his heart was still hanging, and he followed Zhou Hong into the palace.

Zhou Hong also looked puzzled and hesitant, followed the servant who led them into the palace, and kept looking at Ci Ke.

Ci Ke looked at him, and secretly clenched the corner of his clothes.

When the two entered the Ganlu Hall, the sky outside was already cloudy, and the sky seemed low, almost crushing the continuous city walls in the distance.

The emperor had rested for a long time, and had concealed his sickness. He was sitting behind the desk, his eyes were like eagles, and he looked scary, but he smiled.

"Your Majesty, my servant." Ci Ke leaned forward slightly, his eyelashes drooping, and he only looked at the thin velvet exposed from the embroidered shoes on his feet.

The emperor kept looking at her, and suddenly said: "As expected of Qiu'er's in-laws, but now she looks beautiful, a bit like Qiu'er just entered the palace."

His words originally intended to narrow the distance between the ruler and his subjects, but Ke didn't know how to turn pale after hearing this, and was even more disgusted.

Zhou Hong who was on the side hurriedly cupped his hands and smiled apologetically, "I'm terrified, I don't know why His Majesty called this minister personally, why?"

"It's not a political matter, so don't be cautious." The emperor lazily leaned back and put his hands on his knees, "Just now I was talking about family affairs with a few princes, and suddenly I thought that Yi'er was never married. I heard that Yi'er often went to Zhou's house, so I thought about it." Let’s ask Zhou Shaoqing’s opinion.”

Zhou Hong stared at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head.

"Your Highness the Sixth Highness appreciates this humble minister. It is my honor to often discuss with this humble minister. I dare not have any opinions." Even though the cold wind had just blown by, Zhou Hong's face was covered with fine sweat as soon as he finished speaking.

The emperor let out a few dry laughs: "You don't have to be cautious, Zhou Shaoqing. I'll just say it straight. Now you are the head of the Zhou family, and the elder brother is the father. You have to ask your opinion on the matter of giving the marriage."

Ci Ke's heart dropped suddenly.

Zhou Hong never expected that he was talking about kissing, and the thin sweat soon turned into beads and rolled down his face.

Although he didn't know that Ye Youqing had returned to Beijing, he knew that Ci Ke had been waiting for Ye Youqing for more than two years, so how dare he agree.

"Your Majesty, the status of a minister is low, and the official position is not even on the stage. How dare you marry the royal family? It is a disgrace to this humble minister!" Zhou Hong said hastily.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Ci Ke's palm that had been pinched white by herself, and quickly turned his body to the side, trying to block the emperor's sight.

The emperor looked at the reaction of the two with a smile, shook his head and said: "General Zhou has sacrificed his life for the country now. If General Zhou is still alive, his ability to be a first-rank official is considered low. Comfort General Zhou's soul in heaven, don't worry."

"I am not only the emperor, but also Yi'er's father, according to the order of the parents and the matchmaker. If Zhou Shaoqing has no objection, I will personally write an imperial decree, how about bestowing marriage on the two of you?" the emperor said.

Zhou Hong could refuse if it was someone else, but the emperor said in person, if he refused, he would face the emperor face to face, if the emperor got angry, the consequences would be disastrous.

But he knew Ci Ke's temper, if he really forced her, she might even commit suicide.

The main hall was quiet, but the wind outside the door was howling, like the neighing of a monster, which made people even more anxious.

At this time, a clear voice suddenly sounded: "My daughter does not want to marry."

The surrounding palace people held their breath immediately, no one dared to look at the emperor's expression, no one thought that this girl from the Zhou family would be so bold as to openly slap the emperor in the face.

A look of anger flashed across the emperor's face, he put his hands on his face, and looked straight at Ci Ke.

"I'm asking about your brother," said the emperor.

"Return to Your Majesty, even if my elder brother agrees, my servant will not." Ci Ke's beautiful eyes were lowered, and others could only see her delicate and tall nose bridge and a few strands of hair falling from her forehead.

Zhou Hong on the side hurriedly pulled Ci Ke's sleeve to stop her from speaking, raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, sister She is not sensible, you..."

The emperor raised his hand to interrupt his words, Fuyi stood up, he was huge, and when he approached like this, he was somewhat suppressed.

"Why, my royal family is not worthy?" The emperor softened his tone, but it was even more frightening to hear.

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that the emperor was really annoyed at being slapped in the face, and the hall was oppressed like a cage for a while.

"It's a courtier's daughter who can't match her." Ci Ke replied.

"Then I say you deserve it." The emperor stopped three steps away from Ci Ke and stared at her with his hands behind his back.

Ci Ke's jaw was trembling, but his body remained straight, standing proudly.

The emperor stared at her, his face tensed, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly said: "I have never seen a woman as bold as you, who dares to challenge me openly."

Zhou Hong was sweating profusely at the side, until he saw the emperor passing by Ci Ke, the palace people hurriedly followed up with fur clothes, and the black pressure rushed past Ci Ke.

"Being disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, just kneel outside the palace today!"

The emperor's voice was cold, his body opened the door and moved away, the wind was louder, and the papers on the table were blown up, Zhou Hong was so angry that he pulled at Ci Ke: "Zhou Cike, you are dying!"

"What if His Majesty pursues it!" Zhou Hong was angry at Ci Ke for the first time, and slapped his fists loudly.

"Left and right only have one life, so the penalty will be punished." Ci Ke snorted.

Zhou Hong was angry and frightened, dizzy in front of his eyes, raised his hand suddenly, held it in the air but never dropped it, and finally slapped his sleeve fiercely, watching Ci Ke strode out the door, knelt down on the cold stone brick .

The weather was bad that day, it was clearly spring, but it was colder than winter, the strong wind blew for a while, and a few small snowflakes were blown out, which hit the skin like needles.

After noon, the snow didn't stop, but got bigger, and the ground couldn't keep the snow, and it turned into water when it landed, soaking the woman's thin clothes and flowing into her knees.

When Ye Youqing heard the news, she was still sitting comfortably in the room, and was startled by the arrow shot by the sixth prince standing in the distance. The arrow stuck a piece of paper and fell into the wooden cabinet, and she took a lot of force to pull it out.

After seeing the content, she ruthlessly tore the paper into pieces, threw it into the fire, and raised the sleepy Shili out of the bed.

"If you want me to help you, first help me lure the person in the dark away." She frowned.

Even so, it was dusk when she arrived, and there was snow on the ground, stepping on a footprint, Ye Youqing disguised himself as the sixth prince's bodyguard, and was secretly brought into the palace by her.

This should be the last snowfall in Bianjing. The snow fell down like pieces of cotton, and people froze after walking in the snow for a while. Outside the hall, he was grabbed by a pair of gentle hands head-on.

Zhou Ziqiu was wearing a heavy fur coat, her cheeks were pale, and she looked sick, but she covered up her sickness with her red lips. She didn't speak, and pulled Ye Youqing around the palace wall outside the Ganlu Hall.

The Ganlu Hall suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, and there was a man kneeling in front of the high steps of His Highness, covered with a thick white velvet fur coat, which almost blended with the snow.

The heavy snow kept falling, as if it was going to submerge her, and the Ganlu Palace in front of her was also covered in white, which made her look taller and made her look smaller.

Beside her was a man shivering from the cold, who was talking to her fiercely, but Ci Ke remained motionless, looking like an ice sculpture from a distance.

"I have already greeted the palace servants of Ganlu Palace. No one told the emperor. Even if something happened, I would take care of it for her. But she didn't listen for some reason. She knelt for several hours. Something will happen." Zhou Ziqiu tugged at Ye Youqing anxiously.

"I can't persuade her to leave, I still need the girl's help." Zhou Ziqiu spoke in a misty voice.

Ye Youqing didn't say much, nodded and ran towards Ci Ke, pulled Zhou Hong aside who was blocking the way, took off his gray fur coat and put it on Ci Ke's shoulders.

"You..." Zhou Hong froze in place.

Ye Youqing didn't have time to pay attention to others, just took Ci Ke's already ice-like hands and put them in the palms to warm them, lowered his head and let out a breath, seeing that he couldn't warm them up, he put those hands into his clothes.

There was a coldness in her chest, which made her shiver.

The woman was awakened by her from a daze, and turned her head to look at her stiffly. The tip of her nose and eye sockets, which were already red from the cold, became even redder, and her eyelashes and hair tips were covered with ice crystals, which were exquisite and translucent.

It was difficult for her to move, Ye Youqing hurriedly patted the snow off her body, bent down and lifted her from the ground, her knees could no longer move, and she fell into Ye Youqing's arms at an angle, Ye Youqing couldn't help it He rubbed his knees for her without lowering his head, and whispered, "Does it hurt?"

Ci Ke nodded and sniffed softly.

"Why kneeling for so long?" Ye Youqing asked softly while putting her legs in his arms to warm them.

"When this matter spreads, people will know that I don't want to marry into the royal family, and giving me another marriage would be to lose the royal family's face." Ci Ke's words were broken, and his body shook like chaff.

Ye Youqing nodded, seeing Ci Ke's body softened by kneading, then bent down to pick her up, took the fur coat to cover her body, strode over Zhou Ziqiu and the sixth prince behind the palace wall, and carried him to Take Qiushui Palace.
