Under Rong Chu's deliberate guidance, the Spring Banquet went in a direction that no one expected. The prince-in-law was not chosen, and the princess was also not chosen. However, Rong Shu seemed not satisfied with the result and went behind Rong Chu's back.

They made a lot of small moves, but Emperor Zhaohe just thought it was a joke between children and didn't take it to heart.

Ning Ke avoided Rong Chu for a few days, but he couldn't avoid it deliberately. He always happened to run into Rong Chu at unexpected times.

When the two of them passed each other, their sinister and sinister expressions always made the guards following them feel frightened.

Rong Qing tugged on Ning Ke's sleeves and took Ning Ke to the best Zuixian residence in the imperial city. He served him a feast of wine and food. When they came out, the two held hands and talked happily, as if they had been confidants for several lifetimes. Rong Qing

Qing said sincerely, "If you do this, you will trouble the Prime Minister."

Ning Ke seemed deeply moved and held Rong Qing's hand instead, smiling and saying, "I would also like to thank you, Your Majesty, for relieving me of Wuwu's disaster."

Before the two of them finished speaking, a eunuch hurriedly came over and bowed to Ning Ke. When he was about to speak, he saw Rong Qing's unpredictable smile. He was startled and swallowed the words in his stomach.

.

Rong Qing didn't ask any more questions, just gave Ning Ke a few more instructions, and then returned to his palace.

The little eunuch waited for Rong Qing to go away, then bowed again with a shy face and said to Ning Ke, "Sir, the Emperor Ji has invited you."

The smile on Ning Ke's face was immediately replaced by caution. He squinted at the young eunuch and said in a low voice, "The emperor cannot declare to foreign ministers without authorization. I am afraid of overstepping the bounds. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"Di Ji also said that if you don't go, let me tie you up." The little eunuch suddenly waved his hand, and many people rushed out from all directions, surrounding Ning Ke, and all the smiles on his face were gone.

Turning into an arrogant attitude, he said, "Master Prime Minister, I have gone too far."

Ning Ke allowed several people to tie her up and carry her into the sedan without resisting. Such a meek attitude made the eunuch stunned. Ning Ke smiled helplessly and said honestly, "There are so many of you, I can't even beat you."

but."

The sedan was bumpy all the way, and even though she was blindfolded, Ning Ke counted the routes from memory.

The aroma of wine is strong, so I must have turned left to reach the wine shop behind Zuixianju; after walking a few steps, the scent of flowers hits me again, perhaps it is the garden behind the wine shop, and that garden is behind the residence of the head of the Ministry of War, so go there now

The place……

Before he could finish his thoughts, the sedan suddenly stopped, and someone came forward to help him get out of the sedan. After walking a few steps and crossing the steps, he pulled the black gauze from his eyes.

Before she could look back, those people disappeared like a gust of wind.

The bead curtain in front suddenly rang.

Full and round, it is a very crisp sound.

Beautifully reflected flowers.

These words suddenly popped up in Ning Ke's mind. Such a clear and crisp voice, which was like jade but not jade, what else could it do besides reflecting flowers? She slowly looked back at the curtain in front of her, hidden in the semi-darkness.

Under the illumination of that lamp, it emits infinitely soft and elegant light. It is so gentle and soft as spring!

The small courtyard is winding and the beaded curtains are exquisite, but they are not as charming as the smile of the woman holding the lantern behind the curtains.

Through the beaded curtain, one could vaguely see the woman carefully combing her hair into a snake bun, with light dimples on her cheeks, but the most intoxicating. Wearing a green three-winding train, the woman's figure is even more graceful, with only a hairpin on her temples.

A hairpin was also light pink, the same color as the bead curtain, but Ning Ke recognized it at a glance, it was the gleaming flower that Emperor Zhaohe once admired for himself.

His hands involuntarily touched the jade pendant around his waist.

There are thousands of silk ribbons under the jade, but the place where the concentric knot is tied is also inlaid with reflected flowers.

For a moment, he seemed to have the intention of breaking Rongshu's mind.

But this flash of light suddenly had other meanings in Rong Shu's eyes. Rong Shu simply took a few steps forward, opened the bead curtain, and stood there without any hindrance.

In front of Ning Ke, his smile was filled with endless sweetness because he saw his sweetheart, and he said softly, "Master Ning."

Ning Ke was startled and resisted the urge to leave.

He took a few steps back, but bowed respectfully and said, "I wonder what the Emperor Xuanchen has to do?"

This respect turned into alienation for Rong Shu. Rong Shu threw down the curtain and stood in front of Ning Ke, reaching out to pull Ning Ke's sleeves. "It's very tiring to stand outside. Master Ning, please come in and talk."

Ning Ke rolled up his sleeves to avoid Rong Shu, but turned his back on the guests. He walked a few steps quickly and bowed to Rong Shu, saying, "Please, Emperor Ji."

"Why are you so distant?" Rong Shu twisted the handkerchief in her hands and said with a sweet smile, "This place is no better than the palace. Just call me by my best name." However, in her heart, she was really happy for Ning Ke's performance. Those big pair of

He looked around and suddenly focused on Ning Ke, "What do you think of the scenery here?"

Ning Ke welcomed Rong Shu to sit down, poured a full cup of tea and handed it to her before sitting down, "This place is charming and graceful, but not as beautiful as the Emperor Ji."

"Then let me ask you." Rong Shu suddenly lowered her voice and leaned towards Ning Ke. The hand holding the tea cup shook slightly, "Do you...do you have even a shadow of me in your heart?"

"Weichen don't dare to make mistakes!"

Time suddenly seemed to stand still.

The windows were sealed and airtight, and the smiling face of the woman sitting beside her looked like a stiff, lifeless portrait in Ning Ke's eyes. Ning Ke suddenly knelt down and said, "I hope that Emperor Ji Mingcha will see you slightly."

I...do not dare to make mistakes."

"Oh?" Rong Shu stood up and crouched next to Ning Ke, leaned over to pick up the jade that fell on the ground, held the reflecting flowers almost lovingly, and laughed in a low voice, "If you don't have my shadow in your heart, why?
