The ace matchmaker of the ghost world

Chapter 22

I hid a person in my heart for several years.

He can see it, touch it, but not get it. This feeling is very heart-scratching, and it makes my heart ache.

When I was young, my queen mother often smiled and said to me: "Xiaosi, you have to remember. There is no gain in vain in this world. What you want, you have to lose something to get it."

I was naive before, so I struggled to climb onto her lap, poked the dimple around her mouth with my fingers clumsily, looked at her and said, "If Xiaosi is the king?"

She was stunned, the prickly dimples around her mouth froze, she wrapped her arms around me tightly, and said softly: "The king is also a human being. As a human being, he has to live. As long as you live, if you gain something, you will lose it."

I looked confused in my arms, but I felt that I had to act smarter so that she would be happy, so I nodded seriously with a stern face: "What the empress mother said is absolutely true, then Xiao Si will not be a human being in his next life."

Thinking about it now, I have forgotten the expression on my mother's face at that time, but I also understand that I am not a smart child.I didn't understand what she told me until I met Pei Muyuan.

I like him and I want him, but I may not be able to get him. I have no idea.I am not afraid of paying any price, even the position of king, I am willing to give it.But, I'm afraid that if I break the ax and sink the boat, he doesn't care about me.

If this is the case, it is better not to say it, so I have endured until now, until he told me that my lord and minister want to go to the frontier to kill the enemy.

It's been a long time since he talked to me like this.The imperial study room was quite quiet, so quiet that my heart trembled, I raised my sleeves pretending to be calm and took half a sip of tea, I turned my head and looked out the window.

From here, you can see the scenery beside the imperial pond.The summer is hot and the breeze is light.The green grass stretches along the side of the green pond.In the pond, there are lotus leaves in fields, green stems and tender flowers, like a shy girl who is about to leave the pavilion, with extremely graceful posture.

Really rare good view.I looked back, closed my eyelids and opened them lightly, and took another sip of the tea slowly, the fragrance slowly filled my mouth and teeth, piercing my heart and stirring my heartstrings.After a while, I also said with a business-like face: "Guard Pei has such a heart, I am very relieved. I just don't know how long Guard Pei has this thought?"

He knelt down, his straight waist was like a towering mountain, and he said in a firm tone: "General, I heard from Prime Minister Lu that the border war is urgent, the barbarians are rampant, and the people are being abused by them. As a man of Nanli, I feel ashamed. I would like to go Border gates, use my modest strength to protect our land in Nanli and the people of Nanli."

Even now, you still lied to me!My curled fingers clasped the rim of the cup tightly. I couldn't hide my anger, and I almost wanted to wave my sleeves and smash it to the ground.However, after a while, I struggled to swallow the question that spread from the bottom of my heart to my throat, and a smile came out of my mouth, and I said slowly: "You get up first and close the windows, I feel cold."

At this time, Xia Feng gave me a lot of face, poured into the room with all his brains, and played the melody with a rattling sound.He raised his head suddenly, staring at me with dark eyes, with a majestic and dignified expression on his handsome face.

I felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, coughing and coughing a few times as if in response to the occasion.He woke up as if awakened from a dream, so he hurriedly got up and went to close the window, with such strength that he wished to remove the window.

Afterwards, I pretended not to notice his gaze, lowered my eyes and laughed at myself, stiffened and poured half a sip of tea filled with cold air into my throat, and then said to him: "The wind blows my head. Before the guards go to guard the common people, let’s shield the widow from the wind for a while.” After saying this, he let him lean against the wall and lower his head to look at the stack of memorials on the imperial table.

After reading a few memorials, time slowly slipped away in silence.When I opened a new one, I took a closer look, clicked my tongue, saw the name of the person who signed it, and finally couldn't help but patted the table a few times, laughed a few times, and then waved to the waiter Xiaomo who was close to me Said: "Go, go and call Chun Yi and the widow."

Xiaomo responded, and bowed out of the imperial study.

Rubbing the tip of my nose with my fingers, I grabbed a cup of tea that Cai Xiaomo had brewed, and took a few sips. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the surprised look on the face of the man at the bottom of the wall. I ignored him and continued to critique the memorial with my head down.

After a while, in the relative silence, I noticed that his unreserved eyes continued to stay on me, I suppressed my mixed thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Guard Pei, speaking from the heart, what do you think of Chun Yi? ?”

"Normal." He stared at me blankly, replied with a straight face, then turned his head away, as if he didn't want to look at me anymore, his side face became more and more indifferent.

I was silent, and flipped through Chunyi's memorial again, and said over and over again: "I think he is very good. I think Lu Xiang is getting old. A few days ago, I saw that he kept coughing in the morning, and his vigor almost caught up with the widow. This sick child is sick, why not let him go home and take good care of him, let Chunyi take his place."

Hearing this, he was probably very shocked, turned his head to look at me suddenly, his gaze was like a torch, and said word by word: "How can your lord be so hasty when it comes to important matters of the country?! I hope your lord will think twice, put the community as the most important thing, and don't do favoritism." It's an affair!"

Judging by the tone of his voice, he was complaining about the widow, but this move was very open and aboveboard.Affair?Fuck your grandma's affair!Where did I have an affair with Chunyi!He squinted his eyes, and was about to reply him a few words, when the little Mo Dao Chunyi came outside the door.

I swallowed the words that were almost out of proportion, and called Chunyi in.Chun Yi is gentle and kind, he treats others with humility and courtesy, if it wasn't for his father, he shouldn't be so embarrassed in court.

Today, he looked pretty good, and when he knelt down to say hello, his brows and eyes were mild, and his temperament was gentle.I took a few glances, thought about not letting him get up, raised the memorial under my eyelids, and asked with a smile: "Chunyi, did you really write the memorial to impeach Prime Minister Lu?"

Chun Yi didn't raise his head, but his voice was very steady, he said calmly: "Although Chun Yi is dull, he will not dare to deceive the king."

I sighed lightly, feeling a little better, and repeated the contents of the memorial: "Forming a party for personal gain, selling officials and nobles? Chunyi, who knows that Lu Xiang is an upright man and has a clean sleeve. He should cry after hearing about this crime."

Chunyi slowly raised her head, her picturesque eyebrows and eyes were full of elegance, and she was about to speak, but was interrupted by Pei Muyuan.He stepped forward a few steps, landed on his knees with a thud, and cried out for Prime Minister Lu: "Your Majesty, what kind of person is Prime Minister Lu? The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty can see clearly and admire him even more. How could he Do something like this?"

They have been at loggerheads, I know that, but in a slightly different way.As for Chunyi, he always likes to praise him in front of me, which makes me happy. After all, he is a sharp-hearted person, not to mention that it is Chunyi who praises him.But on the contrary, he has always treated people fairly, except for Chunyi.He felt that Chunyi was not as good as I said, so he always talked about Chunyi in front of me.See if I don't listen to him, I speak even louder, and I don't know what he thinks.

I glanced at him, then at Chunyi, and was facing Chunyi's smiling eyes, slightly dazed, understanding in my heart, and then I thought about it: "Guard Pei's words are very true, Prime Minister Lu is upright, he definitely won't do it Chun Yi, don’t be fooled by villains when such dirty things happen. Well, just pay more attention in the future and get up.”

He got up and automatically went to stick to the base of the wall to block the wind, I opened my mouth, saw Chun Yi's expression that was half a smile, but finally didn't say a word.

After each of them was silent for a while, I asked Chunyi: "Guard Pei wants to go to the border, how does Chunyi feel?" After saying that, he looked at him with a slight complaint, I turned my head and smiled at him, he turned his head away and stopped looking I.

Chun Yi approached the table, glanced at his memorial which I was playing with, twitched the corner of his mouth, Fang said: "Guard Pei is worried about the country, this is a very good move, your majesty should accept him."

I was a little dumbfounded. Normally, he should know my thoughts, but today he sang the opposite scene with me.I glared at him, and I was about to answer when a blunt voice came from the other side: "I won't go."

oh.My face was faint, but my heart was ecstatic, I was extremely grateful to Chun Yi, and said: "Chun Yi, you can stay and have dinner with me." Chun Yi raised his brows and did not refuse.

It's so good, and then there is a silence, I see my memorial, Chun Yi has nothing to do and is very boring.As for him, continue to shield me from the wind.The atmosphere is not good, but at least they are in peace.

It was not until dinner that something unexpected happened.The two got involved in court affairs from a plate of vegetables, and quarreled again because of a disagreement.

With a mouthful of soup in my mouth, I glanced right at Chunyi and left at him, my stomach convulsed badly.Slowly swallowing the delicious soup in my mouth, I said to Xiao Mo behind me: "How much did they both eat?"

Xiao Mo was in a dilemma, raised his eyes to look at the imperial meal, and after pondering for a long time, Fang replied seriously: "If the slave is not mistaken, neither of them ate a single bite."

"Really?" I smiled, turned my head and bared my teeth at them, and said very gently, "Do you still, want, eat? If you don't eat, don't affect the appetite of the widow, okay?"

Chunyi raised his sleeves to cover his face, and a low laugh came out from the bottom of the sleeves: "Your Majesty loves to give food, how can I not eat it? However, when I think that the guard Pei is so worried about the country, I feel ashamed, and I can't get down for a while." Swallow food."

Pei Muyuan snorted coldly, stopped arguing with him, and conveniently picked up a vegetable and put it in my bowl, with a serious expression like a soldier training general: "Your Majesty, eat more."

As a result, my appetite picked up again, and I said to Chunyi: "If you don't eat any more, I will ask the Imperial Dining Room to cook a big pot of red date and lotus seed soup for you."

Pei Muyuan grinned, with a black face on Chunyi's face, he resolutely stuffed vegetables into his mouth, and his always smiling eyes came towards me with a murderous look.I didn't know it at all, and savored the green vegetable carefully.

After dinner, Chun Yi left, I asked Xiao Mo to see him off, and then told Xiao Mo: "Send him to the gate of Shen's residence and then return."

Xiaomo took the order, Chunyi took one more look at me, turned around and left without saying anything.I rubbed my nose, turned around and saw Pei Muyuan looking at me with displeasure, "Why are you so nice to him?"

Tsk, don't call the king now?I am willing to treat him well, can you control it? !I glared at him, and went back to Hengyan Hall alone to rest.

He seemed to be depressed, and stood alone for a while, and then followed me step by step, but he never stood side by side with me.When I got back to Hengyan Hall and lay down on Longta, I really couldn't figure it out, so I asked him: "Why do you always look down on Chunyi? He's pretty good."

He leaned on the side of the couch, his face darkened, and then he smiled again: "If you think he is good, why do you ask me? What's more, you are so good to him, what's the point of asking me?"

I thought about his words for a while, and felt that no matter what he said, there was something wrong with his words, and his sentences were not fluent, so I pretended to be angry, jumped from the couch, and rushed towards him: "Are you really going to the border?!"

He quickly caught me with open arms, and pushed me onto the couch again, accidentally touching my feet.I couldn't help exclaiming in shock, and laughed again and again: "Don't touch my feet, don't."

He was dazed, as if he didn't hear my words, he slowly rubbed the soles of my feet with his big palms, and looked at me with interest.I was so stimulated that I lay down on the side of the couch and laughed non-stop. I hammered Longta with one hand, and my whole face was probably flushed with laughter: "Let go, itch, itch."
