Zhao Defeng stood still and said after a long while: "You can stay in the guest room first. You can't go back to the city at this time."
Han Chengsong looked back at her, and she turned her face to the side, "Don't get me wrong, this matter is too big, I have to think about it."
good!
Han Chengsong went to the guest room. Standing at the window of the guest room, he could see the walnut tree in the yard. At this moment, the walnuts fell to the ground, and the green skin rotted or simply turned into dark brown.
He called to his entourage, "Go and pick up walnuts, come and let me have a look."
Walnut?
The follower looked outside and said, "There has been a lot of rain this year. The walnuts will rot when they fall to the ground. The walnut kernels inside must have turned black. There are noble people living in Zhuangzi, so this is not practical."
Han Chengsong looked at him and said, "Go ahead, I'll take a look."
yes!
I picked up the walnuts and cracked them open one by one. The kernel inside was not yellow-brown, but actually black. But after peeling off the black film, the flesh inside was also white and tender. Pick it up and stuff it.
In the mouth, chewing slowly, there is no difference in eating.
He peeled all the walnuts on the ground carefully, peeled off the shells, and tore off the soft membrane. After that, the fresh walnut kernels were piled on a large plate. Then he pushed the plate to his attendants: "To the princess."
Send them to her, tell her they are walnuts from under the walnut tree in the yard, peel them, and ask her to taste the difference."
The attendant hesitated: "Sir?" You are the grandson of the royal family! She is the daughter of the guilty minister. Even if she is of Taizu's bloodline, it is not possible! Now this emperor thinks of the Taizu's bloodline, and he has very deep feelings in his heart.
Qing. How about changing to an emperor? Maybe it’s taboo, maybe.
"Go for it!"
The attendant had no choice but to carry the plate and go.
This plate of walnut kernels was placed in front of Zhao Defeng.
Mei Gu was very pleasantly surprised, "Princess, the friendship between the generations and grandchildren is all on this plate."
Zhao Defeng was speechless. She picked up the pulp and stuffed it into her mouth, but she couldn't tell the difference. She said, "Go find some walnuts that fell on the ground and let me take a look."
There are trees like this everywhere in Shangguan, Zhuangzi, and you can pick them up easily.
Looking at the basket of walnuts with rotten green skin, blackened hard shells, and discolored inner membranes when opened, I had no idea that the insides were still so white.
Zhao Defeng waved his hand and asked someone to take it away. He kept washing his hands, but he only touched one, and the finger was stained with color, and then turned very black. It always took a long time to wash it off.
She said to Mei Gu: "I went to deliver some late-night snacks to Shisun and said...I know what he meant! Tell him, I have never touched walnuts like that, but once I touched them, they were stained with black and my hands were dirty."
It’s hard to clean..."
Mei Gu was confused when she heard this, "Princess? You only tell your grandson this?"
Zhao Defeng nodded, "Go ahead and talk."
Han Chengsong only said that he understood and said nothing. As soon as they left, he had a midnight snack, washed up and fell asleep. Perhaps someone knew the basics, and he actually slept very soundly here.
Zhao Defeng didn't sleep all night. After getting up early, he was told that Han Chengsong hadn't gotten up yet.
She was slightly stunned, but she didn't stop and left early.
Aunt Mei asked: "Going to the Yamen?"
No! Go to the East Palace.
When we arrived at the East Palace, Tongtong was in the back garden. The hole created by the explosion had to be repaired and the fish fry had to be put in. Therefore, Zhengtong Tong was directing the palace staff of the East Palace to clean up the big hole.
Zhao Defeng asked, "What do you want to plant? Lotus roots? The lotus roots I have in Zhuangzi are very good for making lotus root powder. Do you want to send you some seeds?"
Tongtong patted the dirt on her hands, pointed to the Hu bed on one side, and motioned for her to sit down. Then she asked Qingya to scoop up some water, washed the dirt off her hands, shook the water droplets, and sat down.
He wiped it on the pillow, leaned back, then took the lotus seeds on the plate and handed them to Zhao Defeng: "Have a try, the lotus seeds in the East Palace Pond are fine for me."
Zhao Defeng stretched out his hand, and Tongtong saw that the fingers seemed to be stained black, so he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Oh! Zhao Defeng glanced down, took the lotus seeds, and then said: "The walnut fell to the ground. I picked it up to see if it was okay, but it turned out like this."
Tongtong didn't take it seriously, and handed her hand over to let her see: "Look, there are thorns in the flesh. Seeing how well she did it, she helped her, and she didn't know how much I did it." After saying that, she sucked it.
Chewing lotus seeds in his mouth, "Didn't Xiaowu send you to work? What? How lazy are you?"
Zhao Defeng shook his head, ate a lotus seed, and then said, "What do you think about me marrying Han Chengsong?"
Tongtong froze while chewing the lotus seeds, and then said: "The lotus heart was not removed completely, and it was very painful. It seemed that the stiffness at that moment was just the result of eating the lotus heart.
After saying this, Tongtong continued to play with the lotus seeds, but did not reply. Zhao Defeng knew what this meant. Not speaking actually meant that he was not optimistic and did not agree with it.
She played with the lotus seeds in her hand, and then held them up to Tongtong, "My life is like this lotus seed. It looks very attractive on the outside, and everyone feels good about it. But the lotus heart is bitter! You don't know the taste unless you taste it.
.Everyone praises you for being considerate, but I just want to ask, do you know my suffering?"
Relatives were convicted, died, exiled, imprisoned, and only the three siblings were left to depend on each other. They were afraid of getting into trouble if they took one more step, and they were afraid of not being considerate if they took one less step. In the future, the brothers will get married and have their own lives.
, what about me? Have I been alone for countless days?
Zhao Defeng asked, "Do you know what it's like...to not be able to find anyone in this huge world to whom you can express your true feelings? I don't dare to listen to the wind and feel very lonely; I don't dare to listen to the rain.
, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep peacefully at night after hearing too much; the closer the New Year is, the more I want to cry. Others laugh at other people's troubles, but I can't laugh or make trouble. I feel that I have seen the whole life like this at a glance. I am busy with Xiao Wu,
Waiting for the so-called success and fame... Xiaowu is not alone in her heart, so she can naturally do what she wants. But what about me? I am Zhao Defeng if I succeed and do nothing. I am also the blood of Taizu. After the guilty minister, Zhao Defeng
.In this life, do people live for fame before and after death?”
Tongtong sighed: "I thought you would have many things to do. I thought... you wanted to find a kind, gentle and pure husband, and then live your whole life in peace." Kind and gentle? It's not that you don't want to, it's just like that.
People can’t express what’s on their mind!
Zhao Defeng said, "I... hope there is someone who doesn't need me to pretend that I am a lady all the time."
"Han Chengsong?"
Um!
Tongtong looked at her: "He is his grandson. If you want to marry, the old prince will definitely not object! But... the palace does not belong to the old prince."
Zhao Defeng asked, "What if he doesn't become a descendant? He is just an ordinary heir of the prince's family. Isn't this marriage impossible?"
Tongtong was not in a hurry to speak, and pondered for a long time before asking, "Tell me, do you want me to give you advice, or do you want me to talk to the emperor's uncle and the queen?"
Zhao Defeng looked at her and said, "I hope you can convince me not to marry him."
That’s what I said! “What don’t you know? He doesn’t even do anything to become a descendant, just because he is in love with you? You know some things very well in your heart. But you are tempted, what can I say to stop you?
?Is it because that person is so good that you can't help yourself? Or you know that person has shortcomings, but you still insist on making this choice? If it's the latter, will what I say help? "
Zhao Defeng was stunned, "You are right, I know that the other person is not good, but I still have to choose, who can do anything about it? Maybe I am too lonely? Maybe I too... want to have someone to accompany me?"
Who knows?"
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Tongtong: "A person is a person for a lifetime, right is a lifetime, wrong is a lifetime. You and Silang are sincere in love, you can play the harp in harmony; Dalang and Zheng family Yuanniang are sincere, and they can treat each other as guests..."
And he and I are two solitary travelers who have been burdened with too much. The road is too long and too dark. We just want to find a fellow traveler to accompany us on the journey, right? Who says we will have a bad life?
Zhao Defeng stood up and said, "I will live well, right?" After saying that, he stood up and left without waiting for Tongtong's reply.
Tongtong didn't shout, nor did she get up to chase after him. She didn't come here to listen to anyone's opinion, but to inform him, that is, she must have made up her mind.
She leaned here and watched Zhao Defeng walk away firmly step by step.
Will you have a good time?
have no idea!
I hope so!
Within two days, Han Chengsong knelt in the royal study and asked for marriage to Zhao Defeng.
Emperor Wen Zhao thought he heard wrongly, "What did you say?"
Han Chengsong kowtowed again, "I beg the Holy Mountain to marry the Princess of the Zhao family. I want to marry her! I originally resigned from my position as a grandson, but I am willing to be an ordinary military general and ask to marry the Princess of the Zhao family. Please also
The Holy Spirit makes it perfect."
At this moment, Emperor Wen Zhao's eyes darkened. The imperial pen in his hand shook, and a drop of bright red ink fell on the imperial case. Lu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to take the pen, wiped the ink drop with his sleeve, and recorded this moment of the Holy Emperor.
The loss of consciousness was covered up.
Emperor Wen Zhao stood up and walked to Han Chengsong, "Raise your head, look at me and speak."
Han Chengsong raised his head and looked at Emperor Wen Zhao.
"Why did you marry Defeng?"
"I... have a harmonious temperament with the princess." Han Chengsong said. Seeing that the emperor's expression was more severe than before, he quickly kowtowed, "I... I..."
Just when I didn't know what to say, I heard Zhao Defeng's voice coming from outside.
"If you don't call me in, then I'll kneel here and wait until uncle is free."
Emperor Wen Zhao looked outside, and Han Chengsong also looked back.
Lu Cheng hurried out, "Oh, my princess, why are you kneeling on the ground? It's such a cold day, it's so cold on the ground, get up soon."
Zhao Defeng asked, "Uncle, will you see me?"
Emperor Wen Zhao shouted outside: "Come in!"
Only then did Zhao Defeng go in. When he saw Han Chengsong kneeling on the ground, he knelt beside him and then kowtowed, "Uncle, I'm here to ask for marriage."
Emperor Wen Zhao scolded: "You bastard! Get up and go find your aunt! Things here have nothing to do with you."
Zhao Defeng kowtowed again, "Uncle, I want to marry him! I beg your uncle to grant me permission."
Emperor Wen Zhao touched his forehead and patted it heavily. Seeing the child like this was like seeing his cousin kneeling in front of his uncle...crying to get married.
Why doesn't this stupid kid understand? How unreliable is it to ask a man to give up his status just to marry you? Just like he will live and die for you, that's all deception.
Even if I marry a woman from a poor family, my status will not be affected, so why marry you?
There's something going on here! It's so serious that my heart trembles just thinking about it!
You are not stupid, why do you have to get involved in it?
He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Defeng. His hands were shaking with anger, but he didn't know where to start. He thought of his uncle, the old prince, and why Shiro and Tongtong insisted on letting the gunpowder explode once.
, he just felt like someone had stabbed him in the heart, it hurt...
