?At that time, Huai Jun was dealing with political affairs and was about to go to the Hall of Showa Harmony when he happened to meet Nan Qi who was out seeking an audience.

Nan Qi has always been only responsible for protecting Huai Jun's safety. Except when Huai Jun summoned him, he usually would not take the initiative to ask for a meeting. It seems that something happened.

Huai Jun returned to the desk and said, "Come in."

"I see His Highness the Crown Prince." Nan Qi bowed his hands, and the next moment, he knelt down on his knees and said solemnly, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Huai Jun looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I know that I shouldn't say too much, but this matter is related to His Highness's safety, and I have to say it. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Get up first." Huai Jun's complexion changed slightly, and he stepped forward to help Nan Qi up, saying: "Just say it, I will definitely not condemn you."

After getting Huai Jun's promise, Nan Qi felt relieved, and said straightforwardly: "On the way back from Huairen Hall, I saw King Wang and Young Master Song meeting in a pavilion."

At first glance, this incident sounded like a stormy sea, but to Huai Jun's ears, it was just a small wave.

He has long known about the relationship between Song Leyu and Nuo Xu, and based on this relationship, it is not surprising that there is any conspiracy between them.But if they wanted to plot something, they wouldn't be so blatantly in a pavilion, let alone at a time when they couldn't save anything.

What's more, if Song Leyu had a different heart, he wouldn't just intercede for Chen Pu that day.

Seeing that Huai Jun was silent, Nan Qi said tremblingly again: "I know that Mr. Song is loyal to His Highness..."

Before he finished speaking, Huai Jun sneered, "Nan Qi, don't be nervous. In terms of loyalty, Song Leyu is not as loyal. Speaking of which, you saved my life over and over again."

"This is what I should do!" Nan Qi said hastily.

"Well, I know about this, you should step back first."

Huai Jun's order had been issued, Nan Qi could only leave the library angrily with uneasiness.After he left, Huai Jun thought about how to deal with Song Leyu alone for a while. He didn't want to do the sad thing of a rabbit dying, but Song Leyu couldn't stay.

After making up his mind, Huai Jun stepped out of the Hall of Books and went to the Hall of Zhaohe.Along the way, he had put on a gentle smile on his face, and he didn't want Chen Pu to know about these chaotic things in the court.

When he arrived at the Zhaohe Hall, he saw Chen Pu squatting under the magnolia tree, so he didn't think about anything, and squatted down with him.

"Pu'er, what are you looking at?"

Chen Pu looked up at Huai Jun, then pointed to a young seedling in front of him and said, "Look, it has grown."

Huai Jun looked at the two small leaves in front of him, and then at Chen Pu's shining eyes, suddenly he had the feeling that this little seedling was their newborn child, and his heart warmed accordingly.

"It's been so many days, it can't be long."

"I was afraid that I would raise it to death. After all, not everyone can grow flowers." Chen Pu said "self-deprecating", and then stood up with a smile on his face: "But now I find that this flower is something I can grow." It's still doing pretty well."

Huai Jun then stood up, agreed and said flatteringly: "Of course, this flower is planted by Pu'er, and it must grow if it doesn't grow."

Chen Pu was amused and thought that no matter what he said or did, Huai Jun would agree with him like this.If someone who loves him so much gives up, where can he find him again?

He jokingly asked: "How can I grow if I don't grow?"

"Pu'er wants to grow flowers anyway, and she will definitely get flowers out of them."

"Where can we grow flowers by pulling out seedlings?" Chen Pu rolled his eyes at Huai Jun, and said with a smile, "It seems that I can grow these flowers alone."

"Okay." Huai Jun wrapped his arms around Chen Pu's waist, staring at him affectionately, "You plant flowers, and I enjoy them."

Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from far to near, Chen Pu subconsciously pushed away Huai Jun's hand on his waist, but this time, Huai Jun hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go.

Knowing that a few palace maids were coming, they saw the intimate posture of Huai Jun and Chen Pu, and immediately turned around, pretending that they didn't see anything.

Regarding the relationship between Huai Jun and Chen Pu, the people in the Zhaohe Palace had always guessed a little bit, but they dared not guess about such things.Until the death of the first emperor, A Fuyu explained to them earnestly that from now on, some things can be pretended not to be seen, so as not to get into trouble, and today I saw with my own eyes that the piece of cloth that has been covering their relationship has been covered up. pulled down.

"Back down." Huai Jun ordered in a deep voice.

Chen Pu's whole body trembled, and he realized that the current Huai Jun was different from the person who pushed him away repeatedly in the past, and then married the princess against his will. If you think this way, is it because of Huai Jun's firmness towards him , they can have a bright future?

After several maidservants hurriedly retreated, Huai Jun hurriedly said to Chen Pu: "Pu'er, from now on, I will never let you go."

Before returning to his senses, Chen Pu let out a "hmm".

Huai Jun said again: "We will not be separated again."

Chen Pu came back to his senses immediately, he took Huai Jun's hand resting on him, and held it tightly, only in this way could he calm down his uncertain heart.

He shouted from the bottom of his heart—Chen Pu, trust him, trust him.

After a long time, Chen Pu responded with the word "yes" in a low voice.

When Huai Jun heard this, he was overjoyed, hugged Chen Pu into his arms vigorously, and said ecstatically, "From now on, this Hall of Zhaohe will be yours. You can plant the flowers you like, and I will enjoy them..."

Chen Pu listened melancholy to Huai Jun's sweet words, and at this moment he didn't dare to think about what would happen between them if Huai Jun became the emperor.

"And..." Huai Jun lowered his head, kissed his cheek, "reward."

Chen Pu's face turned red, and those wild thoughts were forgotten by such a kiss.He is willing to not think about the unknown future until this moment.

The two returned to the front hall, chatted intimately for a while, and after a while, it was time for dinner.However, as soon as the food was served, a young eunuch came to Huairen Hall.

"See His Royal Highness."

"Flat body."

The little eunuch said respectfully: "The fifth prince has something important to tell His Highness, please go to Huairen Hall."

Huai Jun glanced at Chen Pu, saw him nodding before saying, "I'll be there right away."

When Huai Jun arrived at Huairen Hall, he saw Min Xuan pacing back and forth with a very ugly expression on his face.

When he saw Huai Jun, he immediately stopped, "See Your Highness."

"What happened?"

"That," Minxuan glanced at Huai Jun anxiously, and then said: "The news that General Dong withheld military rations for the Southwest at the military mansion spread throughout the capital within a day...Brother Dahuang privately donated a batch of military rations To the southwest, he..."

Minxuan's pressure from the past few days exploded on this matter, and his words became more and more chaotic.As long as he thinks about the end of failure, he will never be calm again.

It's only their fault that they were anxious to guard against Nuo Xu, but they took over the army instead.

"Didn't we discuss this matter early in the morning? The Southwest side only delayed for three or four days. After the matter was completed, we quickly sent the military rations to the Southwest."

Minxuan said impatiently: "It should be like this, but I heard that the military situation in the Southwest is urgent, and this batch of military rations is urgently needed. Brother Dahuang took advantage of the situation and spread the news that someone in the military mansion abused his power to withhold military rations. food……"

Huai Jun frowned tightly, and after a while, he said feebly: "Let General Dong send the batch of rations to the southwest immediately."

There were only three days left, and since this batch of rations had to be sent to the southwest, he didn't want to lose his reputation.

"but……"

"Let's just say that we just want to check the military rations and send them to ensure safety." Huai Jun said helplessly.

In the middle of the night, news of General Dong's release of military rations overnight spread to Dongqin Hall and Shangyang Hall.

Feeling the joy of this small victory, Yong Ting looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and muttered to himself: "Ming Luo, I've tried my best, and I'll be here to accompany you soon, you have to wait for me."

On the other side, Nuo Xu also looked at the crescent moon and thought to himself, this time, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, this matter is finally settled.He turned around, looked at Mo Huichuan who had been waiting by his side, smiled brightly at him, and asked, "Huichuan, isn't it?"

Looking at his smile, Mo Huichuan felt a little distracted, only he could understand that this smile was Nuo Xu's smile when he was young, telling his dreams.

He nodded, and replied as usual: "Yes." After a pause, he called out again: "Nuoxu."

They turned out the window, three more days.

☆, Fanwai II——Hehe

?In the 16th year of Jianhe, the beginning of spring is the time when the warm weather turns cold.

Although there was still some chill in the wind, the bright sunshine at noon added a touch of warmth.Every day at this time, the capital will be bustling from the street to the end of the street.The Xiangpin Building, which opened at noon, ushered in the first batch of guests, and the seats were full; the streets and alleys were full of stalls, from hot food to some gadgets, and there was an endless stream of people.

Nuo Xu especially liked this excitement, every time after reading, he would change into his clothes and sneak out of the palace with Mo Huichuan and Fan Shaoqian.

However, today he came out alone, walking in the crowd in a daze.

Shouts and conversations kept ringing in his ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at this bustling but vulgar street, thinking sadly—this is where I should be, not the palace, not that A resplendent but cold and lonely palace!

Ever since he knew his life experience, and seeing the empress's love for Huai Jun, he could only reluctantly think of his father who died in vain, and his mother who lived alone.

Suddenly, there was a hand pulling his hem. He looked back, but there was no one; when he looked down, he saw a child who was dirty everywhere except a pair of bright eyes.

He stared at the child, but the child looked back at him pitifully.

An immature and timid voice came from the hustle and bustle of people: "Brother, you buy me..."

Before the words fell, the dirty boy was pulled away by a big hand.

Nuo Xu looked over that hand, and saw that he pressed the child on his lap, slapped the child's buttocks one after another, and cursed in a rough voice: "I told you to speak well, did you say that?" ..."

The child was crying so loudly that everyone around fell silent, only to hear the child crying while shouting: "Brother, buy me and go, buy me and go..."

Nuo Xu touched his wallet. Horse thieves are rampant these days. He has long heard that many children have been robbed and then sold. Unexpectedly, these people would sell people to the capital as if they had eaten the gall of a leopard.

After a while, the child was still crying, and there were more and more people around, as if they were watching a good show.Nuo Xu didn't want to be a role in this farce, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by that person.

"My lord, this child's parents have both died and he is homeless. He is very pitiful. He is a bit stupid, but he is well-behaved. If there is someone missing in your mansion, why don't you show kindness and let him have a place to live." The trafficker pressed Staring at Nuo Xu, his eyes were shining.

The child finally stopped crying, opened those bright eyes, and begged, "Brother, I'm very good..."

Nuo Xu looked into his eyes and couldn't help but feel moved.

With such clear eyes, he seems to know everything about the world, he said in his heart - do you understand my painful situation?He was also worried that one day the child's dirty body would be polluted with these eyes, and he could live involuntarily like him.

Finally, he took out his wallet, opened his dry mouth, and said bitterly, "I bought it, kid."

The eyes of the traffickers became brighter, but it was a dirty and greedy light, which made people feel uncomfortable.Nuo Xu secretly rejoiced that he bought the child, otherwise he couldn't imagine that the child's bright eyes would end up in such a miserable state one day.

"Thank you, young master." The human trafficker looked at Nuo Xu's simple but well-made clothes, and asked for a high price: "Ten taels of silver."

Nuo Xu glanced at the wooden sign next to it, which only said one tael of silver.But he didn't bargain, and gave the trafficker ten taels, then stretched out his hand, and said to the child, "Come on, let's go."

The child hurriedly walked to Nuo Xu's side, holding his hand tightly, as if afraid of the trafficker's rebuttal.

The people around shouted: "Young master, why is this little beggar worth ten taels, don't be fooled."

The trafficker quickly said: "One person is not worth ten taels. Don't talk nonsense."

Nuo Xu ignored them and left.He thought it was funny, how could a person not be worth ten taels, and how could it be worth only ten taels?But that human trafficker is really worthless, he wants him to disappear in the capital tomorrow!

"Brother, can I hold you like this?" the child asked timidly.

"why not?"

"If I'm dirty, I'll dirty you."

"No, you're not dirty." After that, Nuo Xu couldn't help but smile wryly, if such a child is also dirty, who else in this world is clean?He asked again, "What's your name?"

The child grinned brightly and replied, "Hehe."

Nuo Xu patted the child's face, not too dirty.He thought, wash the child first, and bring it to Fan Shaoqian and Mo Huichuan another day.

Hehe asked again: "Brother, where are we going now?"

"Song House."

"Song House?" He He said clearly, "Oh, brother, your surname is Song."

"My surname is not Song." As soon as the words came out, Nuo Xu felt a little regretful, did he say his surname was Wu?Once this surname is exported, it will be terrible.He hesitated for a moment before saying, "My surname is Chen."

He He nodded, then looked at Nuo Xu with innocent eyes, and asked naively: "Then will He He be surnamed Chen in the future?"

Nuo Xu didn't answer, but his empty heart suddenly became warm, maybe this child can live well for him, and he can put his happiness on the child!

"Brother." He He asked again: "Why are you willing to take me away?"

"Because," Nuo Xu paused, unable to utter those reasons, but said: "Everyone has a heart of compassion."

Hehe couldn't understand, so he had to ask again, "What is compassion?"

"Compassion is..."

Along the way, Nuo Xu didn't dislike He He Fan, and came to the Song Mansion while talking, from a freshman to a junior.

At that time, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song were packing up their luggage and were going to Yangzhou to discuss business. By the way, they took their son Song Leyu for a walk.As soon as they heard that Nuo Xu was coming, they took Song Leyu out of the front hall.

"See the eldest prince." Master Song and Mrs. Song said respectfully.

However, Song Leyu, who was spoiled since childhood, walked up to Nuo Xu and shouted: "Brother Nuo Xu, why are you here?" Pointing to He He, he asked: "Who is this little beggar?"

He He felt that those who called him beggars were bad people, so he shrank behind Nuo Xu, unwilling to talk to Song Leyu.But Song Leyu's personality is that if you don't give it to him, he will.So he squatted down and teased Hehe.

Suddenly, he yelled as if he had discovered something, and said, "Brother Nuoxu, his eyes are so beautiful, can you give him to me?"

Before Nuo Xu could return, He He mustered up his courage and shouted, "No!"

"Why!" Song Leyu said louder than him.

He He flinched again, and said aggrievedly, "Because you are a bad person, bad people call He He a beggar."

"Then I won't call you a beggar..."

Song Leyu's words were interrupted by a series of rapid footsteps.The door of the front hall was pushed open forcefully, a tall and thin Renren rushed in, Song Leyu called out: "Cousin."

The person who came was Mo Huichuan, but he didn't even have time to say hello, so he rushed to Nuo Xu and said, "Nuo Xu, it's not good, something happened to Shao Qian!"

Nuo Xu's complexion changed, and without asking any questions, he said to Master Song, "Uncle Song, I will put this child here first, and take him away another day."

After all, he ignored Hehe and followed Mo Huichuan.

When Nuo Xu stepped out of the front hall, He He began to cry, planning to chase Nuo Xu with a pair of short legs.However, he couldn't walk a few steps before being pulled by Song Leyu.

"Don't cry, I will take care of you." He added: "When you cry, your eyes will not look good."

But He He couldn't hear what he said, he just felt that he was stopped, and the farther Nuo Xu walked, the louder he cried.

After a long time, under Mrs. Song's comfort, He He finally stopped crying.Mrs. Song immediately ordered someone to wash Hehe, and then drove Song Leyu to pack her luggage.But Song Leyu was unwilling, and vowed to wait until He He washed before packing up, because he wanted to take him to Yangzhou with him!

But before Hehe was finished washing, Song Leyu was driven into the carriage by Mr. Song.

Before leaving, he reluctantly said to the housekeeper, "Tell He He not to play with him until I come back."

As a result, Song Leyu had been away for half a year, and when he came back, He He had already been taken away by Nuo Xu.

The day Nuo Xu took He He away, he was very haggard, but He He was refreshed after washing.As soon as he saw Nuo Xu, he ran up, hugged his thigh, and shouted: "Brother Xu!"

Nuo Xu patted his head and led him away.

That day, Nuo Xu asked He He, "He He, from now on you will be called Chen Pu, okay?" Seeing him nodding, Nuo Xu knelt down, hugged him, and wept.

Chen Pu patted Nuo Xu's back with a pair of small hands, comforting him clumsily: "Brother Xu, don't cry."

"Pu'er, Pu'er..." Nuo Xu murmured, but secretly said in his heart: "I'm not doing well, you have to help me live well..."
