marry queen

Because Prince Rui refused to take over the military power, Fu Yu finally decided to set up the Governor of Beijing Guards, and assigned a new position: Chief Governor of Beijing Guards, to be in charge of the military power taken back from Ningguo Gong. Dominated by one person.Other officials in the court have also made a series of adjustments. Compared with the court where Fu Yu first ascended the throne, the current court is very different.

It took Fu Yu four years to firmly consolidate his throne, and now, there is no other force that can easily compete with him.The first battle with the Turks was also a complete victory. Duguxiu returned with his army in triumph. Fu Yu was overjoyed. In addition to the awards, he also named Duguxiu the first governor of the capital.

After everything was settled, heavy snow began to fall in the capital. This snowfall was heavier than any other time in previous years. In just half a day, the imperial palace was covered with a thick layer.Fu Yi glanced at the snow outside the window, and said to Shen Zhiqiu: "With such heavy snow, let's rest in Chengguang Hall today."

Shen Zhiqiu paused, then said with a smile, "Okay."

Ever since he accidentally heard that question in the imperial study that day, a knot had formed in Shen Zhiqiu's heart. This knot, like the root of all evil, always tempted him to find the answer to that question, but he knew very well that there are some things that cannot be answered. Investigate, once you get to the bottom of it, it will be beyond redemption in the end.

He hid the devil in his heart very well, and got along with Fu Yu as usual, but this time, Fu Yu didn't seem to see the clue.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Fu Yi fulfilled his promise and decided to take Shen Zhiqiu out of the palace.This year's New Year, he was particularly relaxed, there were few people in the harem, and he didn't plan to hold a New Year's Eve banquet. After arranging everything, he and Shen Zhiqiu got into the carriage early on the [-]th and headed south.

They walked along Pengcheng, Wanqiu, and finally settled in Guangling. Because they just came out to play, they were not in a hurry. They walked all the way to play, and when they encountered a slightly larger town, they always had to rest for a day.Except for the guards who secretly protect him, there are only a dozen people with him. They pretend to be the young masters of wealthy families and experience the customs and customs of various places.

When we arrived in Guangling, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month. Unlike other towns in the area, they were preparing for the New Year's Eve, but it was more lively because of the end of the year.Guangling is a water town, and it is also an important place for merchants in Northern Wu. There are frequent people from all over the place, and the culture is harmonious and open. Because it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many gentle and affectionate women, so the Fengyue place is one of the most famous places in Northern Wu. There are also unique painting and cruise ships in Guanchun Tower, where many literati always linger and forget to return.

As soon as Fu Lie's carriage entered Guangling City, he felt that the place was extremely prosperous. Shen Zhiqiu couldn't help but lift the curtain to see that there were all kinds of people on the street, all dressed brightly. What's more, poetry and painting, they don't particularly care about conspicuous outsiders like them, the degree of openness is actually comparable to that of the capital, Shen Zhiqiu couldn't help sighing: "This is indeed a good place."

Fu Yi smiled and said, "My fourth brother, let's not mention anything else for now, is number one for eating, drinking and having fun. Since he recommended this place, he can't go wrong."

Following Shen Zhiqiu's eyes, Fu Yi followed Shen Zhiqiu's gaze for a while, and immediately decided to settle down here. Jin Fu quickly booked an inn, and settled the two masters after busy work.The inn saw that the visitor was rich and powerful, so he generously gave a table of dinner, Fu Yi waved his hand to the accompanying people, and took Shen Zhiqiu's hand and went out.

Shen Zhiqiu was actually hungry, so he asked puzzledly, "Aren't you going to eat dinner?"

"Let's go out for a stroll, the fourth brother said that there are a lot of delicious food in Guangling Night Market, let's go and see it." Fu Yi squeezed Shen Zhiqiu's palm.

The two walked slowly along the streets of Guangling. It was already dark, but the street was still very lively, the street lights were very bright, and the shops on the street wafted the smell of wine or powder from time to time. They are ordinary pedestrians, some are on their way, some are playing, and they are noisy and lively.Shen Zhiqiu and Fu Yi walked among them hand in hand, walked around and looked around, talking and laughing from time to time, because both of them had outstanding temperament, it was inevitable that they would attract the attention of the woman next to them.

The local woman was very bold, she took off the hair flower and threw it into Shen Zhiqiu's arms, said with a smile: "This young man is so handsome, why don't you come to my shop for a drink, and you won't be charged."

Shen Zhiqiu was so molested that his face was immediately embarrassed, he caught the hair, not knowing what to do, Fu Yi took it, and said to the proprietress: "This handsome young man already has a sweetheart, I'm afraid he won't be able to drink the proprietress. the wine."

The proprietress was not annoyed, and she was used to the relationship between Fu Yu and Shen Zhiqiu, she still smiled and waved, "Then invite the young master and his sweetheart to come in and have a drink together, the wine in the slave shop is one of the best in Guangling City .”

"Thank you, let's go shopping for now, and come to ask for a drink another day." Fu Yi threw the bouquet back to the proprietress, Shen Zhiqiu tilted his head and nodded slightly, the embarrassment on his face finally dissipated a bit.

The proprietress caught the flowers and said behind them: "Go two roads ahead and turn left at the most lively night market in Guangling City. You must go shopping."

After walking far away from that shop, Fu Wei could still smell the faint scent of rouge left on his and Shen Zhiqiu's hands. Fu Wei sighed: "The folk customs are so open, no wonder the fourth brother always lingers here."

"Don't you also want to be the same as the Fourth Young Master?" Shen Zhiqiu asked with a smile, and couldn't help thinking of the question that Prince Rui asked that day. He had fun along the way these few days, and he never deliberately thought about it. It's a bit of a test.

Fu Yi chuckled, "I'm not as lucky as my fourth brother."

Shen Zhiqiu lowered his eyes and didn't ask any more questions. Fu Yi had the world in his heart, so naturally he couldn't linger in the gentle water town for too long. He has his ambitions and arrogance, so he probably won't give up for anyone.

The two fell silent for a while, walked along the crowd, turned a corner, and suddenly bustled with people in front of them. There were obviously more lights on the street than other places. In addition to the shops that were open for business, there were many stalls located on the street. On the left and right sides of the street, there are almost twice as many pedestrians than other streets. I think this is the famous Guangling Night Market.

As soon as they reached the intersection, a tangy aroma of barbecue wafted over. Neither Fu Yi nor Shen Zhiqiu had dinner, so they were unavoidably hungry. Seeing that there were many stalls selling snacks in front of him, Fu Yi took Shen Zhiqiu's hand and asked : "What do you want to eat?"

Shen Zhiqiu was a little surprised, "Do you want to eat these things with me?"

"Why not, since you are here, of course you have to do as the Romans do." Fu Yi said.

Even though he said that, Shen Zhiqiu didn't dare to let him eat on the side of the road. He didn't want to buy anything at first, but Fu Yi insisted, so Shen Zhiqiu had no choice but to follow him all the way there, roast duck, bacon, mutton soup dumplings, chicken soup wontons, etc. When there were all kinds of snacks, the yelling of the boss and the merchants could be heard endlessly. After the iron pot and the cage were opened, the scent of the blowing fragrance wafted over the entire night market. Shen Zhiqiu felt the strong smoke when he glanced over.

The glutton in his heart was aroused, he walked over, sat down in front of the wonton stand, and ordered two bowls of chicken soup wontons.Sitting on the table next to him were a few people from the Jianghu. Shen Zhiqiu looked at Fu Yi who was sitting upright across from him. He was tall and made the table of the wonton booth even smaller. Compared with the two, he felt a little out of place, very It doesn't match.Shen Zhiqiu pursed his lips and snickered, "You've probably never eaten in this kind of place, have you?"

Fu Wei shook his head, although it was the first time he came to such a noisy place, he was not restrained, he asked Shen Zhiqiu, "Did you go out to eat in the streets when you were young?"

"Yes." Shen Zhiqiu said, "When I was young, I didn't like to eat the dishes made in the big kitchen, so my elder sister sneaked us out to buy food. Aunt Wang at the intersection of West Street sells the best wontons."

As soon as he finished speaking, the store brought up two bowls of hot wontons, and Fu Wei smiled and said, "Then try it, which one is better than Aunt Wang's."

Shen Zhiqiu brought the two bowls over and put them in front of him, took a sip, and after a while, pushed one of the bowls in front of Fu Yi. Jin Fu was not with him, and he was the only one who could try the dishes. To do it, Shen Zhiqiu did it naturally, but Fu Yi frowned.He looked at Shen Zhiqiu and reproached him: "This kind of thing is not allowed to be done again in the future."

Shen Zhiqiu smiled, "I dare not make the slightest mistake."

"If you are so careful, how dare I take you out to steal food in the future?" Fu Yi said.

Shen Zhiqiu smiled, pointed to Fu Yi's bowl and said, "It won't taste good when it's cold."

So the two of them sat in the crowd, feeling the steaming aroma, accompanied by the noisy noise of the city, and finished a large bowl of wontons. This was the first time Fu Yi had eaten such a thing in his life, and the bowls and chopsticks were not delicate. It's even a bit worn out, but it's very satisfying to eat. The wonton soup keeps warming in the stomach, which is a different kind of tenderness this winter.

"Which one is delicious?" Fu Yi paid the money and continued the question just now.

Shen Zhiqiu thought for a while, and said: "Aunt Wang's wonton tastes stronger, but I like this one better." After saying that, he glanced at Fu Yi, his eyes showing a little shyness, "Because I'm with you this time."

It's rare for Shen Zhiqiu to say such love words, Fu Yi was very happy, he tightened his hand a little more, put it to his mouth, let out a breath, and asked, "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold." Shen Zhiqiu said shyly.

Further ahead, there was a stall selling masks. The masks on them were all kinds of strange things, but all of them were very delicate. Many people bought masks here and put them on their faces. Walking towards them, it was like a group of demons dancing wildly.Shen Zhiqiu leaned over to look curiously, and saw a peacock's mask at a glance. The peacock's feathers were so lifelike and gorgeous, it looked as if it could come alive when viewed against the light.The boss hurriedly came over and introduced: "Master, you have a good eye, this is the treasure of my shop here, and it's made of real peacock feathers."

Shen Zhiqiu smiled, just as he was about to put it back, Fu Yi had already stretched out his hand to pay for a piece of silver, saying, "We want it."

This far exceeded the price of the mask. The boss smiled from ear to ear, and boasted: "The two young masters are extraordinary in appearance and stately in appearance, they are a match made in heaven!"

Fu Yi was happy to hear that, and rewarded him with another gold ingot, and Shen Zhiqiu hurriedly dragged him away.Fu Yi took the mask from Shen Zhiqiu's hand, and tried to draw on his face, "Don't you want to put it on?"

Shen Zhiqiu thought about it, bought everything, anyway, he was in a foreign country, and it would not hurt to be self-willed once in a while, so he nodded, and Fu Yi stretched out his hand to put it on for him.Shen Zhiqiu is wearing an azure gown today, with a snow-white cloak inlaid with gold threads on the outside, and his black hair like a crow's feather is half tied behind him. With this emerald green peacock mask, he suddenly becomes elegant and mysterious. Looking at Fu Yu through the mask, with an aura of fascination.

Fu Yi's heartstrings were twitched by his glance, and he really wanted to kiss him lightly at this moment.Shen Zhiqiu looked away, and after putting on the mask, he walked hand in hand with Fu Yi even more boldly, within two steps, snowflakes fell from the sky.

Shen Zhiqiu looked up, the snow fell on his lips, with a cold breath, it soon covered his skirt.Fu Wei looked around, and saw three or four painting boats parked in the river ahead, and there were melodious tunes floating from afar.

They chose one of the painting boats to temporarily avoid the wind and snow, picked a box by the window, and ordered a jug of warm wine and some snacks. In the box, there was an area separated by a curtain for Legie to play the piano. As soon as they came up, a graceful Le Ji walked in with her pipa in her arms, slightly bent her knees towards them, and said, "What do you two guests want to hear?"

"As you wish." Fu Yi said.

Le Ji nodded again, opened the curtain and sat down. Soon, the melodious sound of the pipa rang out in the box. She was playing "Moonlight Night on the Spring River".

Shen Zhiqiu took off the mask, poured himself and Fu Yi two glasses of wine to warm their stomachs, picked up a piece of jade cake, and was about to eat it, Fu Yan called him, "Yunyu."

Shen Zhiqiu raised his head and looked at Fu Yi in puzzlement. Fu Yan took a sip of his wine and said slowly, "I've been waiting for you to ask me."

Shen Zhiqiu's heart sank suddenly, and he blurted out, "What are you asking?"

"Ask the question raised by the fourth brother that day." Fu Yi said.

Shen Zhiqiu slowly put down the jade cake in his hand, lowered his eyes and said nothing, he thought he was hiding well enough, but he didn't expect to be seen through by the person opposite, he suddenly didn't know what to say.Fu Yidao: "If you have any questions, you can ask me, you don't have to worry about it yourself."

Shen Zhiqiu turned out of the window, looked at the sky full of snow, then looked back at Fu Yu, and said with a smile: "I came out after a thousand calls, still holding the pipa half-hidden, some things don't have to be seen at a glance, I am very satisfied now, real."

"If you don't ask, you're making decisions for me without authorization," Fu Yu said, "Isn't this a kind of cruelty?"

Shen Zhiqiu stopped talking. For a while, there was only the melodious sound of the pipa and the murmur of the hot wine on the small stove. After a long time, Fu Yi took out a wooden box from his arms and placed it in front of Shen Zhiqiu. The palm is big, made of Dalbergia Dalbergia, with exquisite carvings on it.

Fu Yi opened it, and inside was a bright yellow seal with a flying phoenix engraved on it.

"What I want is for you to sit and embrace the world with me." Fu Yu said, "Yunyu, I want you to be my queen."
