Bingzhu Zhao Sinan

Chapter 15

Cheng Zhou fulfilled his wish and returned to the capital the day before his birthday. He still had time to go back to the Hou Mansion to take a good bath and sleep to recover his energy.

The next day was the Empress Dowager's birthday. I came back too late last night and was too tired. I didn't have time to pay attention to the changes on the street. When I went out today, I found that there were lights and festoons everywhere, and the road was full of happy people.

"What's going on?" Cheng Zhou followed the carriage of the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince was a bit lacklustre, "It was the first time that the concubine had an audience with the empress dowager as a married woman. She was so nervous that she started to cry out in the middle of the night, urging her to comb her hair, clean her face, and change into a dress. I also woke up in the middle of the night, Tao Hong , get another piece of ice."

Tao Hong brought the ice in swiftly, and the fifth prince gritted his teeth cruelly and pressed them all on his face, baring his teeth in shock from the cold air of the ice, and his energy improved a lot.

As expected of a royal, he is ruthless.It's late autumn and there's still ice, so it's really rich and powerful.There were too many thoughts, Cheng Zhou didn't know where to start, he took a deep breath, "Cover up for me when the third course is served after the banquet, I want to slip away early."

"Don't worry, I'm in charge of the Ministry of Rites this year. Your seat is right below me, and your father is at the other end. It's not enough to bother you." The fifth prince nodded clearly, and at the same time invited himself A merit.

Cheng Zhou was very grateful to the Fifth Prince for his kindness, however, "This is not the reason why I left the banquet early."

Seeing the puzzled look of the Fifth Prince, Cheng Zhou suddenly felt a little embarrassed to say, "I've found it, the person whose fate we share, I've fulfilled the agreement between my mother and me."

The fifth prince's eyes opened wider and wider, and a sincere smile appeared on his face, "Congratulations."

Cheng Zhou stalked, "His name is Shi You, and he is a flower demon."

Teacher?Isn't that the Lord Yan Luo who was brought back? !

"Gong..." The Fifth Prince paused, and calmly finished what he wanted to say, "Congratulations."

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Cheng Zhou waited, but before the fifth prince could say another word, he had to speak first to give the fifth prince a step of curiosity.

The fifth prince was extremely calm on the surface, maintaining the demeanor of a prince with the mountain collapsed in front of his eyes without changing his expression. Cheng Zhou suspected that this was because he was too shocked and his expression froze.

Where no one saw, the fifth prince's fingers were clenched tightly under the long black gold dress, his veins were bulging, his voice was not very controllable, and finally he only asked two words with a blank face, "Daji?"

This is to worry about whether Shi You is a goblin who wreaks havoc in the world like Daji.

Cheng Zhou understood, and nodded firmly to the fifth prince, trying to dispel all the fifth prince's worries about Shi You's disadvantage, "No, Shi You has meritorious deeds, and he has never killed anyone before, and he will definitely not in the future."

The fifth prince calmed down for a moment, his hands stopped shaking so much, he took a sip of tea from the Jun porcelain cup that was dedicated to Wufu's birthday, moistened his throat that seemed to be itchy with long hairs, and recovered his voice, "Do not hurt people, do not break the law , Dazhou will not restrict any friends who are friendly to the people of Dazhou.”

Cheng Zhou believed that there were very few people in the entire Zhou Dynasty who could respond to this matter so calmly. At the same time, he was very grateful and appreciated his tolerance as a friend and his boldness as one of the heirs of the empire.

The fifth prince suddenly thought of something, but the feeling at that moment was too small to support the fifth prince to make a clear distinction, so he cautiously asked without any position, "Then, what are you going to do?"

Cheng Zhou sighed quietly, and asked back, "You can probably guess the promise I made with my mother, right?"

Princess Yingping had made an agreement with Cheng Zhou back then, and the fifth prince knew that there was such an agreement, but both Princess Yingping and Cheng Zhou were silent about it. After a long time, the fifth prince vaguely knew that the agreement was probably to find People, find someone who can make Cheng Zhou dedicate his body and mind to him.

Since then, the fifth prince has been uneasy. He knows exactly how capable Cheng Zhou is. He doesn't know what the criteria for finding someone is. There was an opportunity to test this agreement, but no more information was found.

The only thing that the fifth prince can be sure of is that Cheng Zhou is not a person who changes from day to day. From this point of view, Shi Er will be the only person Cheng Zhou has identified in his life.

But he can't interfere with Cheng Zhou's decision. Friendship cannot be threatened in various ways. He can only offer suggestions and opinions. No matter what Cheng Zhou's final decision is, as a best friend, he will fully support it.

"Congratulations." This time, the fifth prince spoke smoothly and solemnly.

Cheng Zhou smiled without knowing it, "Grasses have no heart, so people are ruthless to grasses, but people have feelings. Tell me, will grasses grow a heart because of being responded to?"

The fifth prince felt that he had nothing to say, "I remember you said before that you were caught in a predicament and were suppressed by an almost irresistible force, but you found a flaw in this force, and you have to give everything to fight for a chance of survival .According to the current situation, this force is Little Yan Luojun, right? It has been too long, and it has run counter to the original intention of completely counterattacking."

Cheng Zhou: "..."

Fortunately, the fifth prince did not pursue it deeply, and was very worried. It was also a kind of hatred that iron could not be made into steel. "Use your own heart to bet on the heart of grass and trees, don't you really know? The one who is tempted first will lose half of the city..." From the beginning You have already thrown away your helmet and armor, and your army has been defeated. As the god of war, how can you turn the tide, counterattack and win, with your sword at your throat?

"But, until the end, if you don't know everything, you never know what you will be rewarded with." Cheng Zhou said softly, like a contract of fate.

The fifth prince clenched and loosened his fists, put down his hand holding Cheng Zhou's clothes, and poured himself a large mouthful of cold tea, "Your family teacher is in a special situation, you don't object to me summoning the masters of Buddhism and Taoism Bar?"

This is a clear road, as long as Shi You does not hurt others in the future, he will be protected by the royal family of the Great Zhou just like ordinary people of the Great Zhou, and will not be hurt by those who are not good at Buddhism and Taoism.

Cheng Zhou was already very satisfied with this.

At this time, there were only two hundred steps away from the entrance of the palace, and everyone had to dismount and walk. On the long corridor, the officials and dignitaries gathered in twos and threes, clasping hands and smiling.

The fifth prince and Cheng Zhou were surrounded in the center as soon as they got off the car, and all the people from all walks of life tried their best to leave a relationship with this man who had half the chance to become the co-lord of the world, so as to hope for many good blessings in the future.

Cheng Zhou was squeezed and squeezed, and finally found an opportunity to bargain, using a volume that only the fifth prince could hear, "There can only be one, and I can't guarantee the safety of the masters if there is more."

The fifth prince nodded again, and Cheng Zhou was squeezed out by the adults with sharp eyesight and quick hands.

Cheng Zhou was squeezed out of the Fifth Prince's circle, but he didn't feel clean.Although he had many enemies, he couldn't hold on to his high rank, and a group of low-ranking officials and juniors were forced to come over and bow to each other in a simple manner, showing their dignity. In this way, there were always people around Cheng Zhou who were always complimenting him.

After that, there was a long wait, exchanging feelings with colleagues in the Longevity Palace, appreciating refreshments, and waiting for the emperor, concubines, and princes to take turns to celebrate birthdays and present gifts before it was their turn.

Cheng Zhou was not very warm to the queen mother, and he refused to spend any more time on the surface, so he managed to survive until the night banquet. The queen mother sat at the highest place, singing and dancing at the bottom, and lighting up thousands of lights at night.

As soon as the auspicious time arrives, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry will set off the fireworks that have been prepared for birthday celebrations in batches.

Countless grand fireworks are dazzling in the night sky, and the fiery trees and silver flowers are shining brightly.

In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.

Under the fireworks, the market in Kyoto is even more crowded and bustling.

On the busiest street in the capital, the girls put on their favorite skirts, combed their hair in exquisite or gorgeous styles, and asked shyly, did the scholar ever have a marriage contract?All of them smiled happily and looked like fairies in costumes.

However, just as the brighter the light, the more shadows there are. In the dimly lit corner of the market, there is an unnoticed little girl squatting in the corner.

The little girl is seven or eight years old, wearing rags and straw sandals, but she wears a delicately embroidered sachet on her body. The little girl seems to be looking for someone, her eyes are constantly scanning back and forth in the crowd, and her mouth is still thinking in a low voice. "Grandpa, grandpa, revenge."

A few steps away, the aunt who sells wontons is happily from ear to ear. There are so many people here today that the sales can be worth several days' worth.

"Ma'am, two more bowls!"

"Okay!" The aunt responded loudly with a smile, quickly rinsed the bowls and chopsticks in her hands for the last time, and placed the clean bowls and chopsticks beside her wife who was cooking the mess, and walked a few steps quickly, He poured a large pot of dirty water for washing the dishes into the dimly lit corner.

wow.

The little girl raised her head in shock, and a large pot of dirty water for washing the dishes and chopsticks was poured on her head.

wow.

The little girl closed her eyes in fear, but she felt nothing.

The little girl opened her eyes again, and the dirty water had already passed through her body and splashed onto the ground.

The little girl moved her eyes, wiped the nonexistent snot, stood up, tightly grasped the delicate sachet, and walked slowly down the street.

There were many people walking around, but none of them could see the little girl, and there were even many people talking and laughing as they passed through the little girl's body without realizing it.

In the midst of people coming and going, little girl, no, this is a little female ghost who had just died, with a faint black air on her body, suddenly her eyes lit up, and when illuminated by the light, they showed a dull red color Come on, following the little ghost's straight gaze, it is a slender figure, the best fabric is well cut, completely outlining the young man's figure as tender as a green bamboo shoot.
