Chen Xian vaguely felt the warmth of his fingers touching her sensitive auricle.

Su Zhe paused with his fingers, and said slightly deeper: "The ears are red."

Chen Xian came to his senses, glared at him, and brushed his hand away.

Su Zhe whispered to her: "After today, I may not be able to come for a while. You and your calves will live with peace of mind. Be careful when you go out, and it is best not to go out."

Chen Xian said: "You don't need to remind me of these, I know them naturally."

Su Zhe said: "Also, don't drink when I'm not here."

Chen Xian's breathing stagnated, and the damn thing was a little palpitations.

Su Zhe stood up and gently swept over the back of Chen Xian's hand. When Chen Xian raised his eyes, he could see his back, beautiful and upright under the lights.

Chen Xian opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

But seeing Su Zhe suddenly turn around, seeing her wanting to speak but stop, she asked, "Do you want to keep me?"

Chen Xian blurted out: "I want to say that I will walk slowly and not send you off."

Su Zhe smiled, "I want to ask you what New Year gift you want."

Chen Xian was slightly stunned.

"Don't want it? Forget it if you don't want it." Su Zhe said.

Chen Xian said, "You sent it to me yourself, I don't want it for nothing. I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll ask you for it after I've thought about it."

"good."

The candlelight jumped in his eyes, then he looked at Chen Xian deeply, turned around and left, and did not look back.

When I woke up the next day, a cold wind came in when I opened the door. The scene was covered with silver outside, which was dazzling.

Chen Xian wrapped his calves thickly and took him to the snow to roll.

The laughter and joy in the Chichun Garden spread all the way to the garden.

The people in the mansion also followed the joy of the festive people.

Yesterday, firecrackers were set up in the front yard, and the ground was covered with fine red paper, and even the snow in the night could not be completely covered up.

The red firecracker paper was scattered sparsely among the white snow, and the red plums were falling down in the eyes, which was very beautiful.

During this New Year, in addition to discussing the new year and new atmosphere, the people on the streets also discussed the most is the war between the south and Yeliang.

The two countries failed to negotiate and reconcile, and a war officially started here.

The army dispatched in the capital has not yet arrived, and the border troops are still fighting against Yeliang. However, Yeliang has long been prepared for ulterior motives. Once this war is triggered, it will be in a state of conflict.

The border troops retreated step by step.

All officials in the court took half a month off during the Chinese New Year in previous years, but now there are wars in the state, so the holiday is reduced to seven days.

If there is an urgent matter during the vacation, officials must go to the palace to report in time, and the emperor cannot be idle.

On the first day of this New Year, the emperor was not only received constant war reports from the south, but also received a piece of news that surprised him.

I heard from two officials that they met Grand Secretary Su last night.

If this kind of news cannot be kept, all officials will soon know. After all, Su Zhe has a special identity, and a little bit of rumors will be carefully studied.

The emperor summoned Su Zhe in the morning.

Su Zhe was wearing a dark purple official robe, with ink hair tied behind his head, and was walking towards the hall.

When the emperor looked up, he saw the snow outside the hall, the jade steps were flawless, and Su Zhe's figures were from far to near, and he was surrounded by pure white, as if he was walking from the sky to the earth.

I am afraid that there will be no second person in Da Chu to find a demeanor and appearance.

Su Zhe went to the outside of the hall to perform salutes, never exceeding the rules. He entered the hall through Xuanzhao.

After performing the rituals of the king and his subjects, the emperor said straight to the point: "Today I received a very shocking news. I heard that my dear friends were acting like a ritual on the street last night."

"The emperor is clear in his ears and eyes, but the poor ministers can't hide it from the emperor."

Su Zhe was not surprised at all, and he knew that the emperor would soon know about this.

The emperor pretended to be angry and said, "I still heard that the Grand Secretary forced a woman on the street last night, but he even forced a kiss on the street. Are you guilty?"

"I know the crime."

The emperor said: "You are the Grand Secretary of the dynasty, the example of the clean and upright style, and the teacher of my prince and princess. How can you be so kind now?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at Su Zhe who was respectful in the hall, and asked, "Who is that woman?"

Over the years, the emperor has never seen any woman around Su Zhe.

At first, when the government was not settled, the emperor needed to use him to win over the old ministers of the previous dynasty, but he could not give him real power, so he was appointed as a Grand Secretary and entered the Tai Academy to teach.

Later, the emperor wanted to betroth the princess to him, but he refused on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Now that he heard such news, the emperor really had reason to get angry, but he could not break up with Su Zhe.

Su Zhe said: "Return to the emperor, I actually don't know who that woman is."

The emperor angrily said, "You hugged and kissed me, but I don't know who she is?"

Su Zhe regretted and distressed, "I drank too much last night and was really confused. I don't know where I was. So I did such a thing and asked the emperor to punish me. I think about what happened last night and I'm not sure."

The emperor was suspicious that Su Zhe had always held his own self-discipline, so how could he get drunk?

But what he cared about was not who the woman was, what he cared more about was that Su Zhe had an intention in this regard.

The emperor knew that he could not ask anything, so he said, "When men are all erect, it seems that you are inevitable that Su Aiqing, you are also alone for so many years, and sometimes you can't help but lose control. I can understand this."

Su Zhe said, "I thank the emperor for his compassion."

The emperor said: "When I wanted to betroth the princess to you in the past, you refused. So now that so long has passed, are you in good health?"

"A gentle minister is a small person and is not worthy of the emperor's concern."

The emperor said with deep meaning: "You are my capable minister and a pillar of the country. How can your lifelong affairs be a trivial matter? According to my opinion, Su Aiqing didn't have this idea before, but now he has it, he should have a family to take care of him."

Su Zhe lowered his face and looked dark.

***

Su Zhe has never broken his promise to Shen Xian.

When he left on New Year's Eve, he said that he would not come for a while.

It's true.

Shen Xian never saw him later.

The ship that went north to Beijing stopped on the Yangchun River for several days.

This ship belongs to Shen Xian, and Lian Qingzhou will help her run for the time being.

There were two same large ships. Another one transported cargo in the Jiangnan area, which was a real cargo ship.

This ship can be used as a passenger ship, and can also be used as a cargo ship when it is busy with cargo.

On New Year's Eve, Shen Xian had not had time to appreciate it carefully. When the sky cleared, Lian Qingzhou invited her to board the ship again.

Shen Xian originally thought Su Zhe would be there too.

It’s a pity that after she got on the boat, she walked up and down the floors and rooms on the boat, but did not find Su Zhe’s shadow.

Lian Qingzhou saw that she was absent-minded and said, "Who is the princess looking for?"

Chen Xian calmed down, stood on the deck and looked at the Yangchun River, saying, "Where did you say just now?"

Still looking for free novels "I am a phoenix"?
