The night in Shangyang Palace is always as bright as day. Shen Huan brewed a cup of Jiuhua Maofeng and brought it from the tea room to the Nuan Pavilion. He found that Xichen was not lying in front of the desk as usual, but standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at what was in front of him. a screen
Rosewood frame, white silk and ink painting, seemingly nothing special
Shen Huan put the tea down and Xichen said with a smile: "Huan Huan, come and take a look at this screen. Can you see the history?"
Shen Huan walked over and took a quick glance. Just when he was about to say it was nothing special, he saw the signature in the lower left corner of the screen: Wen Baihe.
Wen Baihe? It seems familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I immediately felt that this screen was extremely noble.
Xichen chuckled and said, "You must have figured it out? This is the screen written by Wen Baihe, the calligraphy master of the previous dynasty. It is said that there are wine stains on it that the Empress Showa spilled when she was drunk!"
Empress Showa! That is a mythical figure, the woman who unified the world!
Unfortunately, she had no descendants, so the world was only unified for forty years. Forty years later, the world was not only divided, but also divided into four kingdoms!
Originally, the Southern Kingdom was strong and powerful, while the Northern Kingdom only dominated outside the Pass. Later, the Northern Kingdom was no longer satisfied with the barren land outside the Pass. After entering the Pass, it forced the Southern Kingdom to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. Now it is peaceful in a corner. It is said that they now don't even have a serious successor to the royal family. , there is only one Acting King
But just when the Northern Kingdom was full of ambition, the Western Kingdom rose up at this time and quickly occupied a piece of land.
Nowadays, the two northwest countries are almost equal in national strength and often have wars.
In addition to these three countries, Haidong also occupies the island, but they are too weak and are afraid that the Northern Kingdom will attack them, so they sent the eldest prince to the Northern Kingdom as a hostage six years ago.
When Emperor Taizong of the Northern Kingdom entered the country, he died before he could announce who would succeed him. If it weren't for his father, how could he have been so stable as emperor? His Chu family's world was taken away by the Shen family, but now... Shen Huan finally knows what it means to kill the donkey!
Thinking of this, Shen Huan clenched his fists again and glanced at the emperor beside him. He did not notice the change in his mood and still talked about the screen with great interest.
She had to interrupt him: "Your Majesty, the tea is getting cold."
Xichen glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said: "I'm not thirsty."
Shen Huan lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry, please leave."
Xichen didn't hold back, and waited until Shen Huan took a few steps before he said, "Why don't you ask me where this screen comes from? Your second brother sent it to me."
Shen Wen was stunned and turned around to look at him in confusion.
The corners of Xichen's lips raised slightly, and her long and narrow eyes became blurred under the soft halo of the palace lantern.
"He is showing kindness to me, what do you think I should do?"
Shen Huan's heart was pounding, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Let him go."
"Didn't I promise not to put him under house arrest anymore and to bring him into the palace?"
"My second brother does not belong to the palace. If he is allowed to survive in the palace, he might as well...be under house arrest in that square courtyard!"
Xichen walked up to her, caressed her slightly warm cheek with his slender fingers, and said gently: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Shen Huan put down his excitement and said slowly: "When we were young, our father approved our fate and invited a very famous Taoist priest."
"Oh?" He was probably a little surprised that someone like the prime minister would believe this.
Shen Wen continued: "That Taoist priest was very accurate in his calculations, huh! He said that the Shen family would be in great trouble last year, and that it would prosper and then decline." She calmed down. Her father didn't say much to her back then, only about her second brother and her. Fate, just because the two of them were born against calamity, and the more calamity they have, the more prosperous they become.
"The Taoist priest said that my second brother can only live in peace and contentment on the battlefield." This is not the original saying. According to my father, once my second brother goes on the battlefield, he will gallop around the world and become famous all over the world!
Xichen smiled slightly and said, "If he goes against others, others will be afraid of losing their lives on the battlefield. What about you, Huanhua?"
Shen Wen shook her head: "Father didn't tell me, he only said that my life is precious." She still remembered the way her father looked at her with longing. At the same time, she also knew that since she said something she shouldn't have said, I'm afraid that Taoist priest had already been killed by his father.
There was a sudden tightening around his waist, and he was firmly wrapped in his arms. The man's warm breath was close to his ears and temples. He whispered: "Serving the king at your side is really precious."
Shen Huan closed her eyes and let him rub her neck. She leaned softly on his familiar chest, feeling his warmth. He kissed her neck gently, kissing all the way to her chest. She I raised my head and hugged his waist. My heart felt soft, as if it was about to turn into water.
Her eyes were misty, and the halo was getting blurry. She took a few steps back, but he suddenly pressed her against the screen, held her lips and kissed her crazily, whispering softly between his teeth: "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you." you……"
She closed her eyes and fell into the darkness, her clothes were messy, and she was about to fall into his warmth. But in the darkness, the shadow of another person appeared, it was Xichao!
"No..." She finally pushed him away with all her strength and leaned against the screen, trembling.
Xichen looked at her deeply, then turned around and said outside for a long time: "Andehai, hereby pass the decree, ordering Shen Lan to go to the west border from now on, to join the service of Old General Pei, and to make his merits unjust!"
