?After Dong Jing left, the Hall of Zhaohe returned to tranquility, with only birds chirping.Ah Fu and the others looked at Chen Pu sitting blankly in the front hall, thinking that he was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to talk to him, and let him sit alone.

However, there was nothing wrong with Chen Pu's mood, but as soon as Dong Jing left, he relaxed his head and fell into silence, the more he sat, the more sleepy he became, and his mind became drowsy.

Ever since he arrived in Xuanlou, there was less control and he had nothing to do all day long, so he developed a problem of snoozing.As long as there is nothing else to do, you have to sleep until you wake up naturally, but this morning, Dong Jing disturbed him, he didn't get enough sleep at all.So he sat for a while, and when his eyes were narrowed, he barely lifted his spirits, went back to the bedroom, and fell asleep.

He fell into a wild dream.

At first he was walking in the dark cave, and kept walking, and suddenly it became clear that there was a little light in front of him, and as he walked closer, the surroundings became brighter and brighter.Finally he walked out of the cave, but there was another woman waiting for him outside.

It was Dong Jing. She held a sharp sword in her hand and swung it towards him.He avoided one sword, another sword, and suddenly he opened his palm, and a white light appeared in the palm, and the white light turned into a big knife.Holding the big knife tightly, he took a step forward and slashed at her, beating her back steadily, and finally had no choice but to run away.

Chen Pu wanted to catch up, but at this time two people came riding on the clouds. He thought it was heavenly soldiers and generals passing by, but those two people stopped in front of him.He took a closer look, and it turned out to be Nuo Xu and Yong Ting.They stabbed him with sharp spears, and without thinking he slashed at them with his broadsword.

It was a fierce battle. Within a moment, the three of them were covered in blood, but none of them stopped, as if they had the determination to fight to the end.However, the weather changed suddenly and the wind and rain fell sharply. Nuo Xu and Yong Ting threw down their weapons, returned to the cloud, and returned with the cloud.

When Chen Pu was about to walk forward, his legs could not move.He looked down and saw that his legs were in shackles.He followed the chain again, looked back, and saw Song Leyu and Zhao Tianbao each holding a chain, the former looked miserable, and the latter looked resentful.He wanted to explain something, but he couldn't speak. In desperation, he could only raise his big knife and chop it off.

He cut off his own legs, dropped the legs and the shackles on the ground, and crawled forward, with a thought in his mind that as long as he kept walking, he would meet his most important person.

Suddenly, a young man in purple crouched in front of him. He looked very weak, as if he would be blown to the ground by the wind in the next moment, but a smile appeared on his immature face.He took Chen Pu's hand, took away his big knife, took out a magnolia flower from his long sleeve, and put it in his palm.

——It's Min Luo.

Chen Pu opened his eyes, but clenched his hands tightly.It was this dream again, but the absurdity of this dream made him speechless.He can no longer remember very clearly, but he only remembers that he chopped down many people with a big knife, and cut off his own leg. In the end, Min Luo replaced his big knife with a magnolia flower.

He sat up and wiped the sweat from his face with the back of his hand.Because of this dream, his heart was inexplicably more satisfied, and he said to himself: "Ming Luo, I am defending my relationship with Huai Jun, you must protect me."

It was noon when Chen Pu woke up, and the sun was so fierce that even if it shone in through the window paper, it was too hot for him.He had no choice but to get up, change out of his sweaty clothes, and then walk to the cool library hall to pass the time.

At that time, Huai Jun had just finished meeting with several ministers, had also handled the government affairs well, and was having dinner with Dong Jing.

Dong Jing, who always had a soft smile on weekdays, frowned uncharacteristically today, as if thinking about something, didn't even eat much food, and even Huai Jun didn't notice when he looked at her for a long time.

After a while, Huai Jun finally couldn't help it, and asked aloud, "Jing'er, what are you thinking?"

With this call, Dong Jing glanced at Huai Jun in a panic, and avoided his sight with a flicker.She thought to herself, did he go to the Hall of Zhaohe? Did he already know what happened this morning?Does he blame her?Even if he doesn't know it now, the night will pass, and he will still know it at that time.

This thought made her pretty face even more gloomy, at this time Huai Jun said "hmm", she had no choice but to think about it, instead of letting Chen Pu complain, she might as well confess.

"Please forgive me, my lord. This concubine went to Zhaohe Hall this morning and met Chen Pu."

"What!" Huai Jun roared, the first thing he thought about was whether Chen Pu would be unhappy and wanted to leave again in a fit of anger?What he was most afraid of was Chen Pu being sad, so his eyes changed in an instant, both angry and resentful, but when he saw Dong Jing shrinking his already narrow shoulders, he immediately couldn't bear it anymore .

The next moment, he asked in a low voice, "Why did you go to see him?"

Dong Jing hesitated for a while before answering: "The concubine hopes to make friends with him, so that he will not be unhappy in the palace, and hope to relieve the worries of the Holy One."

Huai Jun knew that Dong Jing had lied, women are the most jealous people in the world, and he also knew Dong Jing's affection for him, so how could she take the initiative to show favor to Chen Pu?But he always felt that he was in love with her. In the final analysis, it was because of him, so he had no choice but to hold back his temper and not lose his temper.

"Jing'er, I understand your hard work for me." Huai Jun said in the most gentle tone: "But Pu'er loves Jing, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't go to Zhaohe Palace."

"The concubine understands." Dong Jing bowed his head, biting his lips and said, his heart was half-cold in Huai Jun's gentle tone.

Huai Jun once said that he would treat Dong Jing well, and he didn't want her to feel bad either.He stood up, hugged Dong Jing gently, and said tenderly: "You and Pu'er are the people I cherish the most. If there is anything going on in the future, you can just tell me directly."

This hug, this close body temperature made her heart warm again, and also made her almond eyes turn red, and then she shed tears.

After a long time, after the grievances of her days drained away in Huai Jun's arms, she said: "Your Majesty, my concubines will pay more attention to their words and deeds in the future, and will never add any worries to Your Majesty."

"This is my good queen." Huai Jun wiped away her tears, sat down to eat again, and coaxed her.

But his heart was contrary to what he said, he was thinking about Chen Pu, so after lunch, he left Dong Jing on the pretext of official business and went to Zhaohe Hall.

As soon as he entered, he called Ah Fu and asked, "Did something happen this morning?"

He clearly understood the matter by asking this way, but Ah Fu was still caught in a dilemma.He shouldn't have kept Huai Jun secret, but Dong Jing was about to become a queen, so he didn't dare to offend her.

After a few struggles, he said, "The slave doesn't know."

In fact, no matter what the answer is, Huai Jun will not blame him.If Ah Fu told the truth about the matter, it proved that he was loyal to Chen Pu, and he didn't know a word, and Huai Jun could see that he didn't want to cause more troubles.This is good, he doesn't want Renfu Palace and Zhaohe Palace to have servants who say right and wrong.

So Ah Fu satisfied him more and more, and it was best for him to stay by Chen Pu's side.

"Ah Fu, you used to follow Zhen and Pu'er, and you will only follow us from now on." He said solemnly: "If I ask you about Pu'er in the future, you have to tell it directly, and you can't hide it." .”

Whether the Empress can speak her words, whether she can offend her depends on whether the Holy Majesty grants this power, and Huai Jun delegated this power to A Fu for the sake of Chen Pu.

Ah Fu answered "Yes", and then told what happened this morning.But this time he was still a little cautious, neither favoring Chen Pu, nor downplaying Dong Jing's behavior.

But no matter how lightly he spoke, when Huai Jun heard that Dong Jing had given Chen Pu the portraits of the daughters of various families, he frowned and didn't want to go any further. He just asked anxiously, "Where's Pu'er?"

"He saw that the weather was hot, so he went to the book hall." Ah Fu could see that Huai Jun was in a hurry, and immediately added: "He asked the servant to inform the Holy Majesty that he will wait for the Holy Majesty to pass by in the book hall."

Before he could hear Ah Fu's complete sentence, he hurried over to the book hall and pushed open the door forcefully.

The sound of "click" scared Chen Pu who was concentrating on reading, raised his head, and looked at the person coming against the light.When he saw Huai Jun's flustered appearance, he felt it was funny and a little bit heartwarming, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

This smile wiped out Huai Jun's anxiety, and he called softly: "Pu'er, come here."

Chen Pu put down the book, walked up to Huai Jun, and was pulled into his arms by him, hugging him tightly.

"Pu'er, I'm sorry."

Chen Pu hugged Huai Jun's back with both hands, stroked him again and again, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After hugging for a while, Huai Jun let go of Chen Pu, and Chen Pu pulled him to sit on the ground.

"We used to sit like this, do you remember?" Chen Pu said with a smile while bending his eyes, "It's weird, but I said the floor was cold, so you sat with me."

"Once the master saw it and scolded us angrily, saying that the seat was not upright and not sitting, but you refuted him." Huai Jun coughed, pretending to be arrogant as Chen Pu was when he was a child, and said, "We sit on the ground. , the floor is very straight!"

"In the end, the Master told the Holy One, and you were scolded by the Holy One." Chen Pu laughed and laughed at himself, "You said how naughty I was when I was young."

"It's good to be naughty, and only when you are naughty are you energetic."

"With you here, I dare to be so naughty." Chen Pu's affectionate eyes met Shang Huai Jun's doting eyes, a warm current flowed into his heart, and then led to his limbs and bones, so uncomfortable, he said again: "Just now I refuted Mrs. Dong a few words, would you blame me?"

"It's Jing'er's fault after all, just don't blame her."

Chen Pu snorted: "She said you wanted to choose a concubine, and asked me to help you choose."

"Even if I want to choose, it's not at this time. Those portraits are stuffed in for their daughters, so I have to give them to Jing'er." Huai Jun explained, and added: "Besides, you need your permission to accept concubines in the future. Can."

Chen Pu nodded, then suddenly raised his head to give Huai Jun a kiss, and said, "As expected, she is my beloved wife."

This kiss completely lifted Huai Jun's mood. He pressed Chen Pu into his arms, and accompanied by the sunshine, both of them smiled brightly, spending the afternoon sweetly.

After dinner, Chen Pu brought Huai Jun to the bedroom, and asked Huai Jun to take out a long wooden box from the four-piece cabinet in the room.

Because of the unpleasant quarrel with Chen Pu before, Huai Jun had a shadow over the four-piece cabinet, fearing that once he opened it and could not find the long wooden box, he would lose Chen Pu again.However, under Chen Pu's eager gaze, he could only bite the bullet and opened the upper door.

There was indeed a long wooden box inside.

Chen Pu took the long wooden box, took out the jade pendant engraved with the word "Jun" from it, and handed it to Huai Jun, "You can take it for me."

Many years ago, Huai Jun carved a jade pendant with his own hands, and carefully put it on for Chen Pu. Chen Pu wore it for more than ten years, and he took it off only after he left the palace.This time, he asked Huai Jun to put the jade pendant back on for him, and both he and Huai Jun understood the meaning of it.

After Huai Jun put on the jade pendant for him, he suddenly felt that the jade pendant seemed to be more radiant and transparent.He lowered his head and kissed the jade pendant, then raised his head and kissed Chen Pu's lips.Chen Pu did not refuse, but responded enthusiastically.

—— Huai Jun, we have to defend our feelings well, you know.
