Hidden Sky Light

Ling, I love you...

It was already night, and Chen Ling rarely had time to accompany A Nian to sleep. While listening to A Nian's childish voice and looking at A Nian's face that looked more and more like Shen Ci, she would be distracted and think of being with Shen Ci in Li in the afternoon. And the time of the temple.

When she returned to her senses, Anian just looked at her with a pair of eyes, and said seriously, "Father, I learned a word today."

Chen Ling said warmly, "What word?"

Anian said in a milky voice, "Think again...then go."

In the middle, the key was deliberately changed.

Chen Ling smiled, "Teached by Zichu?"

"Yeah." A Nian replied, "It was taught by the teacher, which means that you should think more before doing things, and do it after thinking about it clearly."

"Oh," Chen Ling looked at him and listened to him continue to say in a prudent manner, "I am the Crown Prince, so I have to think twice before acting."

Chen Ling couldn't help laughing, "Oh, little prince, what is your experience and experience?"

"Of course there is!" A Nian said seriously, "After waking up from a nap, Mommy Fang would always ask me what snacks I would like to have, and I almost said Red Bean Crisp, I thought about it, or Mung Bean Crisp, and finally I thought about it and said Fang. Mammy, Ah Nian's red bean cakes and mung bean cakes are both."

"..." Chen Ling agreed, "Well, it makes sense."

"Royal father still has it." A Nian said again.

"I'm listening." Chen Ling looked at him.

Ah Nian continued, "I want to eat braised pork, and I also want to eat chicken drumsticks, but my stomach is very small, and I will be full if I eat too much, so I have to figure out how much braised pork and chicken legs to eat before eating. , this is to think twice.”

This was the first time Chen Ling heard such a painstaking explanation, and nodded cautiously, "It seems to make sense."

A Nian smiled, "But Brother Shanhai doesn't."

"Oh?" Chen Ling pretended to be curious.

A Nian sat up from the bed, clutching the quilt, as if to say something very important to Chen Ling, blinking his eyes, and asking for approval, "Brother Shanhai will finish eating in one go, and then he will eat everything in one go. I can't eat it."

Chen Ling nodded, "Then you have to remind him."

A Nian also nodded, "I told Brother Shanhai, but Brother Shanhai said yes every time, but every time he couldn't remember, he ate more."

Chen Ling remembered Shen Ci...

The corners of Chen Ling's mouth twitched slightly, "A Nian, do you like to be with the mountains and seas?"

A Nian nodded hurriedly, "I like it, I like to be with brother Shanhai the most. Brother Shanhai treats me well, but last time I saw brother Shanhai crying secretly."

Chen Ling was slightly startled.

A Nian continued, "He misses his father and mother. I think if I miss my father, I will cry too."

This sentence seems to touch Chen Ling's softness.

Anian replied, "Father, Madam Gu doesn't want Brother Shanhai?"

"Think." Chen Ling said softly.

"Then why Mrs. Gu didn't come to see Brother Shanhai?" Anian was curious.

Chen Ling replied, "Didn't you just learn it today? Madam Gu should think twice before doing anything."

Ah Nian seems to understand.

Chen Ling stretched out his hand over his ear and said gently, "A Nian, everything we do has a reason, maybe Shanhai doesn't seem to see his parents right now, but in the long run, this is good for Shanhai. Yes, it is also good for you. You will also be the emperor in the future, you must know how to weigh the pros and cons, that is, think twice, so that you can protect the people around you, the people you want to protect, you know? "

"Yeah." A Nian nodded.

"Lie down." Chen Ling reached out and pulled the quilt away.

A Nian was originally lying down, but just now he sat up excitedly, and now, he lay back again, and Chen Ling tucked the quilt for him.

"Okay, go to sleep, it's already very late." Chen Ling gently stroked the top of his head.

A Nian smiled at her.

Chen Ling remembered that Mrs. Fang said that the child looked the same every day when she was young. She watched A Nian grow up slowly, and now she is four years old...

"Father, are you also weighing the pros and cons?" Anian looked at her and suddenly asked.

He only learned from Chen Ling to weigh the pros and cons.

Chen Ling replied, "Yes, we all have it."

A Nian is the prince and the emperor in the future, she does not hide some things from A Nian.

Anian twisted his neck and said again, "Father and father, Anian wants to grow up soon, so that father does not have to work so hard every day."

Chen Ling smiled.

Anian continued, "When I grow up, I will be able to help my father read the book. If we each read half of it, the father will look at half less, and when Anian is older, he will read more, and the father will be able to read more. Watch less. When Ah Nian can read all of them, the royal father can eat melon seeds~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and take a nap!"

Chen Ling couldn't help laughing.

She is really grown up, and she can say specific things like helping her read the book, and she also knows that she can take a nap with the extra time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to observe the surroundings.

Chen Ling reached out and touched his head again.

She didn't ask Ah Nian to really do anything, but if he had this thought, it would have been different.

"Then why don't you hurry to sleep? You have to sleep well so that you can grow up as soon as possible, and then help the emperor to watch and let the emperor eat the melon seeds." Chen Ling smiled.

"Okay!" Ah Nian closed his eyes hard.

Chen Ling leaned over and kissed his forehead, "Go to sleep, the royal father is here to accompany you."

A Nian reached out and held Chen Ling's hand, as if she didn't want Chen Ling to go.

Chen Ling also stayed with him until the sound of even breathing sounded on his little face. He was just now sleepy. He talked to her vigorously, and then said that he was happy.

Chen Ling said softly, "A Nian, when you grow up, mother has a lot to tell you. Therefore, you must grow up well and be safe and happy."

——Uncle Shen said that I am a man, and we have to protect the father and emperor together.

Chen Ling smiled, and his eyes fell on A Nian's quiet sleeping face, more and more like Xiao Shenci...

- Ling, I love you.

Chen Ling leaned over again and gently kissed A Nian's cheek.

In her sleep, A Nian stretched out her arms around the back of her neck and refused to let go.

***

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Ci held the wat board in the main hall as usual, and together with Baiguan, shouted long live. After getting up, he raised his eyes to look at the emperor in the main hall.

Yesterday in the Lihe Hall, just after he finished the translation, Qishan came to the hall and said that the Dali Temple Minister Chang had come outside the hall, saying that there was something difficult to ask to see the emperor.

Dali Temple is in charge of major and important cases in the Dali Dynasty, and most of them involve royal relatives and officials in the Dali Temple.

Moreover, it must involve officials from the DPRK and China, and it is not something that can be disclosed at will...

Shen Ci got up, "I'll go first."

Chen Ling said softly at the time, "Don't come tonight, I still have something to do."

He froze slightly, then hummed softly.

This morning, he couldn't actually guess what Chen Ling was thinking.

Chen Ling is the closest person to him. He and Chen Ling have only met each other, and the scenes when they got married seem to be in their minds...

He needs time to reconcile with her slowly.

Shen Ci lowered his eyes lightly.

In the morning, as usual, the six departments and two temples appeared in turn, and the important events reported by various places were all mentioned to the emperor in the morning.

In early July, the weather is sultry, and the morning will not be too long.

When the early morning ended, Shen Ci went to the dam in the suburbs of Beijing again, and continued to work with the forbidden army to clear the silt in the dam.

"General Shen!" Yuan Weiqing heard that Shen Ci was also here today. He trotted all the way. He really saw Shen Ci in the forbidden army. Yuan Weiqing's eyes were full of gratitude, "You're here?"

Shen Ci nodded, "Well, aren't you in a hurry? Just staring at the completion, the dam is related to people's livelihood, and people's livelihood is a major event. Under the feet of the emperor, the Imperial Army will naturally keep an eye on it."

"Hey!" Yuan Weiqing responded.

"General!" Shen Ci's people called out, and Shen Ci looked.

On the dam, Yuan Weiqing stroked his beard with relief in his eyes. The little official beside Yuan Weiqing also sighed, "Sir, with General Shen here, it seems to be different."

"Yeah." Yuan Weiqing also sighed, "Most of the generals in the forbidden army are children of noble families who hang idle jobs. They can't do anything, and they can't bring any soldiers. They are all raised in the army. When the general came to Beijing, this group of people was suddenly controlled, and the generals were restrained, which meant that the forbidden army was restrained, and the forbidden army was not like before."

The official said, "General Shen is a close minister of the emperor, and he has the support of the emperor. I heard that no one dared to provoke the prince of Qianyang in the forbidden army, and he was immediately taken care of by General Shen. I've listened to General Shen."

Yuan Weiqing chuckled, "Who is General Shen? There are many close officials of the Emperor in the capital, but he has been with the Emperor from the East Palace. During the chaos of King Tan, he was able to sacrifice his life to protect the Emperor and the Prince all the way. , in this dynasty, General Shen is the only one. Behind General Shen is the Son of Heaven, and the Prince of Jingyang can't move him..."

The clerk suddenly realized.

At the dam, Shen Ci helped, "Come."

"General!" Someone called from a distance, and after Shen Ci was busy with the transportation in front of him, he raised his head.

"Second brother! Second brother!" It was Lu Mingjian!

In order for him to see, he almost jumped up and down on the dam.

"I'll come as soon as I go." Shen Ci ordered, and the rest of the Imperial Army should be.

Shen Ci stepped forward and saw Lu Mingjian smiling.

Shen Ci wiped his sweat and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Lu Mingjian smiled, "You're not here every time, every time I go to the Shen residence to find you, Xiao Wu either says you're in the palace, or you're going to East Camp, West Camp, or you've brought someone with you. I came to the suburbs of Beijing to clear the dam for the Ministry of Works. As soon as I inquired, I simply came here to find you."

Lu Mingjian handed him water.

He took it, and the wolf took two sips.

Qiyuetian, as soon as he started to toss, he was sweating all over his body, and he was naturally thirsty.

"Aren't you studying in Guozijian?" Shen Ci asked, and Lu Mingjian said mysteriously, "Second brother, you don't believe it, the teacher is ill, so let everyone do their own learning. I think, reading ten thousand volumes is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Lu, I happened to be looking at the water conservancy works, and I remembered that second brother, you are on the dam, just came to see what you can do, isn't it better than sitting by yourself?"

Fan Zhuo's mouth, speaking in a set, is not inferior at all.

Shen Ci continued to wipe his sweat, "See, it's all about strength?"

Lu Mingjian also followed his example of rolling up his sleeves, and swore in his mouth, "If you work hard, you will work hard. Who said that the students of our Guozijian are indistinguishable from each other? I will try it today."

Shen Ci was very angry and funny, "Okay, come!"

Shen Ci was not ambiguous.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Lu Mingjian was sweating and panting, and quickly waved his hand, "I can't do it, I can't do it, I really can't do it, I really am not this material!"

"Send the prince to rest." Shen Ci ordered.

"Yes!" A soldier in the forbidden army stepped forward and helped Lu Mingjian.

Lu Mingjian was really serious about what he was doing, so he was exhausted. In addition to the hot summer and the scorching sun, the Imperial Army could withstand it here.

Lu Mingjian is the prince of the Marquis of Pingnan. If he can come here, he is already condescending, and no one will say anything.

After a while, it was the hottest time in the afternoon, and even the Imperial Army had to stop to avoid the scorching sun.

While resting, Lu Mingjian remarked with Shen again.

In fact, Lu Mingjian wanted to ask just now, but he didn't have time to speak. He was resting now, and there was no one around, so Lu Mingjian asked, "Second brother, are you all right? I went to pay homage to my uncle with my mother earlier, and my mother cried. long time..."

Lu Mingjian's mother, Mrs. Pingnan Hou, is Shen Ci's aunt.

When Shen Ci's father passed away, Lu Mingjian's mother would naturally go.

Suddenly mentioning his father's death, Shen Ci lowered his head and said softly, "It's alright, is your aunt okay?"

The mother died early, and it was the aunt who took care of the two brothers, and the two brothers were very close to the aunt.

Lu Mingjian nodded and sighed, "It's alright, even when I first went to Ancheng, I cried and fainted once, but I couldn't believe my uncle was gone. Second brother, I can't believe it either, my uncle clearly..."

Lu Mingjian took a deep breath and continued, "The world is impermanent, I always felt far away from me earlier, but suddenly, my uncle who loved me is gone, and I feel sad..."

Lu Mingjian has rarely been so downcast.

Shen Ci looked at him and knew that Fan Zhuo had admired his father since childhood.

Fan Zhuo was also very sad when his father passed away.

Shen Ci put his arms around his shoulders, "Okay, Fan Zhuo, it's all over, Dad will watch us."

Lu Mingjian reached out and wiped his reddish nose.

Because I just got off the dam to clear the silt, my arms are covered in it, and my whole face is covered in rubbing like this.

Shen Ci couldn't help laughing.

Lu Mingjian looked at him, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Shen Ci shook his head, "By the way, what about Shaofeng?"

Shen Ci asked.

"Oh!" Lu Mingjian responded quickly, "The third brother is out on business. When he comes back, let's make an appointment for a drink."

Shen Ci looked at Lu Mingjian, "Where did he go?"

Lu Mingjian is the know-it-all in Beijing, "Your Majesty has an errand for the third brother. He said that he will not be back until the end of the year. This time it must be important, otherwise it will not be so long. Last time I saw Your Majesty, I also heard from Your Majesty Tongning. Xiang said that the third brother is safe, and it is appropriate for the third brother to handle this matter. It is estimated that it is something that His Majesty and Ning Xiang only know about, and the third brother did not talk about it with me. "

Shen Ci didn't ask much.

It was Lu Mingjian's turn to reach out and put his hand on his shoulder, "Hey, second brother, where is my sister-in-law?"

"Pfft..." Shen Ci just drank a gulp of water, and all of a sudden he choked out, his face flushed.

Lu Mingjian took advantage of the situation to pursue, "I want to see my sister-in-law, where is my sister-in-law, take time to take me to see my sister-in-law? My mother told me to do it! Must! Be careful! Careful! Look! Look! , how holy is my sister-in-law, to be able to recover the second brother!"

Lu Mingjian was naturally joking, and he smiled to himself after speaking.

But Shen Ci didn't have a smile on his face, the last time he saw his aunt, the aunt's brain made up...

Shen Ci has a headache.

No wonder my aunt would be interested, and she would also tell Fan Zhuo. It must have been the aunt who was unnerved. She wanted Fan Zhuo to take a look at it.

Shen Ci perfunctoryly said, "Aren't you taking classes at Guozijian?"

Lu Mingjian suddenly became interested, "That's different! Classes can be held every day, but sister-in-law can't meet every day. In order to see the second sister-in-law, it's worth skipping class!"

Shen Ci: "..."

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Mingjian knew that he was going to pretend to be dead, so he quickly reached out to hold him, "Why are you hiding my second sister-in-law! It's like my second sister-in-law is so shameless!"

Shen Ci looked at him angrily.

Lu Mingjian laughed and said, "But I heard that my second sister-in-law is very good-looking, and some people will not let go when they see it, forcing them to get married in three days! My God, my mother was stunned when she heard it, and I wished I could immediately Go to Licheng to see what the second sister-in-law looks like! I also heard that the second sister-in-law, Jin Gui is squeamish, she is a delicate daughter, my mother is very happy, and keeps praising you for being enlightened and looking for it, Jin Gui is squeamish! Act like you like guys..."

Shen Ci: "..."

Lu Mingjian smiled and said, "Second brother, so you like the second sister-in-law."

Shen Ci blushed when he said nonsense.

Lu Mingjian obviously didn't want to stop, "Second brother, I have heard about it in Beijing. You and the second sister-in-law are a good story in Licheng. They all said..."

With a snap, before he finished speaking, a bun was stuffed into his mouth, blocking his mouth firmly.

Lu Mingjian looked at Shen Ci beside him in surprise, Shen Ci said slowly, "Don't ask about your sister-in-law."

snort! Lu Mingjian bit off half of the bun in one bite.

Shen Ci said again, "She has a thin skin."

Lu Mingjian swallowed, "Are there any thin-skinned buns?"

Shen Ci: "..."

***

In the Lihe Hall, Chen Ling sneezed several times, and Qi Shan was worried, "Your Majesty?"

Chen Ling shook his head, "It's okay."

Just two sneezes, no big deal.

Just after lunch, Qi Shan accompanied Chen Ling for a walk outside the Lihe Palace to digest food.

Earlier, when there were no companions in the palace to read, A Nian would come to see her in Lihe Palace every noon and stay with her for a while longer.

Now that there is a companion reading place, Ah Nian's time is slowly starting to be fixed. Every day, reading, riding, and playing are gradually forming a habit, which is a good thing.

"What did Shen Ci do?" Chen Ling asked in front of Qishan.

Qishan knew about her and Shen Ci, and Chen Ling did not shy away from Qishan.

When Chen Ling asked about it, Qishan replied warmly, "After the early morning, General Shen went to the outskirts of Beijing to clear the dam, and he would return to Beijing after noon. General Shen was originally the Prince Taibao, and he also agreed with Lord Fang that in the future The teaching of the prince and the young masters on horseback and archery was left to General Shen. The Forbidden Army practiced in Beijing two days ago. After the rehearsal of the exercises in the afternoon of the past few days, General Shen will stay in the East Camp of the Forbidden Army until later in the day. , and then enter the palace to teach the prince and all the companions to ride and shoot, you can't have time..."

After Qishan finished speaking, Chen Ling said hello.

Qishan knew that the emperor cared about General Shen.

Although Qishan didn't go to Licheng's border gate with the emperor earlier, Yunchi was there.

Yunchi is Qishan's apprentice, Qishan has heard more or less about the border issues. Although His Majesty and General Shen are not yet reconciled, Qishan knows whether the Son of Heaven is alone.

The Son of Heaven is in his heart, and he must know it clearly in advance.

"By the way, is there any news about Fan Yu and Bian Ying?" It's been almost a month, Fan Yu should have arrived in Lake City long ago, with Bian Ying.

Qishan replied, "Not yet."

Chen Ling also knew that this matter could not be rushed, "Let people continue to ask, if there is news coming to me, I will go to take a lunch break first."

"Yes." Qi Shan handed over.

***

"Hide here, don't move!" Qu Bianying dragged Fan Yu into the Wu Peng boat.

This place is called Lake City, and as the name suggests, it is close to the water.

There are rivers connecting the city, almost every door has a wharf, and Wu Peng boats are also moored everywhere, which can be seen everywhere.

Qu Bianying dragged Fan Yu into the awning boat. The awning boat was filled with things by nearby people, and the two stood in it, sticking very tightly.

Fan Yu blushed and wanted to step back a little to make room, but there was really no room left.

Instead, because of the movement, physical contact is more frequent.

Fan Yu's face turned red.

Qu Bianying said softly, "Don't move, or you have to go out and fight..."

Fan Yu didn't dare to look at her.

The road on the shore was narrow, and a group of people ran past one after another, "Over there!" "I was there just now!"

Fan Yu held her breath, and Qu Bianying didn't say anything.

Finally, the footsteps of this wave of people disappeared.

"Okay." Fan Yu really didn't know how to stand, let alone look at her.

"Wait, it's not over yet." Qu Bianying said in a deep voice, and just after he finished speaking, another wave of people chased after him. This wave of people was in the other direction, that is, on the opposite bank.

Fan Yu just turned his back to him and couldn't see, and Qu Bianying had a panoramic view.

Suddenly, Qu Bianying saw someone stop on the other side, "Someone!"

It should have seen the two of them from the gap in the Wu Peng boat, Qu Bian Ying stood on tiptoe, reached out and stroked Fan Yu's face and kissed him.

Fan Yu Petrochemical.

Someone on the other side said impatiently, "No! The wild mandarin ducks who secretly meet, keep chasing!"

There seemed to be a lot of people in this wave, and they ran for a long time without finishing, and Qu Bianying didn't let go.

Fan Yu froze for a while.

When the footsteps on the other side finally faded away, Qu Bianying released his toes, his palms, and finally his lips.

Neither of them spoke much.

So they bowed their heads, gasped for breath, blushed, and their hearts were pounding.

In the end, it was Fan Yu who said first, "Let's go."

"Can you row?" Qu Bianying asked.

Fan Yu: "...No."

Qu Bianying said softly, "Then you stay.

Qu Bianying took the hat from the boat and started rowing on the pole. Although there are many rivers in Lake City, the place where I live is very narrow and not deep, so I rowed away with curved edges.

There are still people looking for them on both sides of the strait, and they are hanging around everywhere, but because Qu Bianying is wearing a hoodie and hat, and she is punting the boat, no one notices her, because the boat is moving very slowly, and she will not think about them like this. Bold is floating in the boat like this right under the nose.

Finally, the awning boat was about to leave the river in the alley and into the main river, when a family suddenly opened the window and shouted, "There is a thief! There is a thief! A thief stole our boat!"

Suddenly, Qu Bianying, who was originally inconspicuous, suddenly became the target of public criticism.

Fan Yu was also shocked, "Bian Ying!"

Qu Bianying said in a deep voice, "Sit firmly! It's clear!"

She didn't call his name, Fan Yu knew it, and hurriedly grabbed it, Qu Bianying exerted her strength, trying to row the boat into the main river as soon as possible, but arrows shot from the surrounding area one after another.

"Soon." Qu Bianying suddenly asked, "Can you swim?"

"..." Fan Yu didn't have time to answer, and was grabbed by Qu Bianying and jumped into the awning boat.

Because there was a awning boat blocking them, no one saw them jumping into the river at all.

The moment they jumped into the river, the Wu Peng boat merged into the main river. The drinking water of the main river was fast, and the Wu Peng boat rushed downstream with the waves.

"Come on!" The people on the shore were all focused on the Wu Peng boat, and they all chased out!
