The boat gradually moved away, taking away the transactions in the cabin, but it could not take away Shen Moran's complicated mood. The people around him seemed to be asleep with their eyes closed.
The moon hid in the thick clouds at some point. Shen Moran sat up from the cabin and looked blankly at the dark water.
She couldn't sleep.
"It will rain on the birthday of Mrs. Song Guogong."
Shen Moran looked back and saw Zhou Zhan looking at the sky with his eyes open. She then looked up and asked, "How do you know?"
"Ha..." He chuckled in a low voice, but did not explain, "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. If it doesn't rain in Beijing on April 17th, I will promise you something. But if it rains that day, …”
"What will happen?"
Shen Moran asked.
He stood up and hit her on the forehead.
"Just give me more sons."
"Oh." Shen Moran put her palm on her forehead and asked, "If it doesn't rain, can you agree to anything?"
Zhou Zhan wanted to say yes, but something flashed in his mind as he spoke.
"I can't agree to raising a noodle head. You can put forward any other conditions you want. But you won't win."
"Don't talk so eloquently!" Shen Moran said unconvinced, "There is a saying among the people that it's going to rain and the mother is going to get married. Even if you are the king of heaven, I can't be so lenient!"
Zhou Zhan laughed and said, "These words are vulgar. Did you learn them from Si Yiluo?"
He has always had problems with Si Yiluo, which is one of the reasons why she can't trust him wholeheartedly.
"A Luo is so good, but her background is a little inferior, but she has achieved military success by virtue of being a woman. This is something that not even many men can do. Is there anything wrong with me liking her and admiring her?"
Zhou Zhan looked at her with a dim light in his eyes, and added in his heart, of course that's not right, he didn't mean to look down on anyone, and he had no right to look down on others.
It's understandable that he likes to worship, but he can't grow in this direction. He still likes soft and waxy princesses, little girls who will act coquettishly and show weakness towards him.
Shen Moran saw through his mind at a glance. Men all have bad natures and like wives who are not as good as themselves and who regard themselves as their gods.
But completely handing over your destiny to another person is a bet in itself. If you are lucky and marry a responsible husband, it is a woman's luck, but if you are unfortunate enough to meet a scumbag...
How many people in the world can have a second chance like she and Si Yiluo!
You only live once, so make sure you have the ability to survive.
But the difference in cognition between men and women prevented her from arguing with him at this time. He said it was his and she did hers, lest she did nothing and left a bad impression in his heart. Define her as what kind of person...
"Your Highness..." She pinched her throat and called out, "I'm a little cold, let's go back."
To a certain extent, gentleness and coquettishness are also women's strengths.
Shen Moran once again had the idea of beating him to death and turning over. When can she not please anyone?
However, Zhou Zhan treated her very well... I hesitated in my heart for a long time, and put this idea aside for the time being. Thinking too much about it was in vain and would only add to my troubles.
This time Zhou Zhan was very obedient, got up and supported the boat Hao back to the boat they chartered.
There was hot water and a change of clothes in the cabin. The two of them packed up and the curfew was lifted in two hours.
Jiang Yun tossed and turned and had no intention of sleeping. Finally, at midnight, she got up and found that the boat had docked. In addition to the servants on board, the two young men had already disembarked and got into the carriage, seeming to have forgotten her.
Shen Moran also didn't sleep much all night. She caught a cold after drinking and was a little dizzy. She opened the car curtain and gave some instructions to the boy outside. Jiang Yun saw the boy walking towards her.
"Master Su said that someone will come to pick up the girl in three days. The girl can make her own arrangements during these three days."
Jiang Yun's palms tightened, and the young man only passed the words and left. She got off the boat, stood by the lake and looked at the surrounding buildings, bit her lip and got into the coming dawn.
After Shen Moran returned home, he first caught up on his sleep, slept until three o'clock in the morning, got up to clean up, and then left for the Si Mansion again.
After Si Yiluo went to the morning court, he just sat down in the check-in room. Qixi's confession was placed on the table. He picked it up and took a look, and saw Si Hai running over in a panic.
On the surface, she and Wei Heyan were on good terms. Except for the official duties arranged by Emperor Yao, Si Hai never appeared alone in the Jinyiwei Yamen.
There must be something important for him to come here.
"Master Si, the emperor has summoned you to the palace urgently! Please pack up quickly and follow this servant!"
Si Hai's businesslike tone made Si Yiluo feel something was wrong. They were the only two people in the check-in room at this time. Normally, even if it was inconvenient to say something, he would give him a look or make a face.
"Is there anything urgent? I just came out of the palace..."
Si Yiluo asked as he stood up.
Si Hai glanced outside and whispered: "I don't know, I don't know. After leaving the court today, I and the governor were helping to organize and review the memorials as usual. In the meantime, the emperor also met with officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Etiquette. ."
"These adults are still discussing matters in the royal study, and the emperor suddenly asked his servant to call you into the palace, and he chased you all the way!"
Maybe there's something really urgent.
Si Yiluo read Qixi's confession at a glance. He helped Zhou Yu do things. He explained Zhou Yu's actions very comprehensively. But it was precisely because it was so comprehensive that she hesitated to hand it over.
What if after Emperor Yao saw this, he was annoyed that she didn't know how to adapt, and accused her of instigating the relationship between the king and his son, she would be unjustly accused.
After thinking about it, I still kept this confession in my arms and prepared to adapt to changes when the time comes.
Let’s first pick up a few things to test Emperor Yao’s attitude.
"Let's go."
When soldiers come, they will block it; when water comes, earth covers it.
At the palace gate, he met his colleagues who were leaving the palace. After everyone nodded and signaled to each other, Si Yiluo entered the palace gate again.
"Is there any news from the Governor?"
Apart from her and Si Hai, no one could be seen on the palace road. Si Hai shook his head with a grimace.
"I just don't know what happened. The governor was approving the papers on behalf of the emperor at that time. The servants were waiting in front of the emperor. He saw an angry little eunuch calling Eunuch Wan out. I don't know what he said to Eunuch Wan. Wan Eunuch My father-in-law talked to the emperor for a while, and then he saw that the emperor's face didn't look very good."
"You also know that in addition to you and the governor, the emperor also has a group of people who secretly listen directly to the emperor's orders. Even the governor has no right to interfere."
"Anyway, when the emperor asked the slave to come out to look for you, the governor winked at the slave and told you to be careful."
Si Hai muttered a lot, and then Si Yiluo thought about it. How could he see the deeper meaning from Wei Heyan's expressionless face?
It's all nonsense to say so much, but he is right about one thing, she should really be careful, because accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and it will definitely not do anything good to ask her to enter the palace in such a hurry.
Si Hai walked very fast with small steps, and Si Yiluo had to take long steps to catch up with him. Before he reached the imperial study room, he heard the sound of broken porcelain inside.
"Your negligence?" Yao Di's high-pitched voice came out, "He Yan, I put my wealth and life on you. If you don't even notice such a big thing, can I still sleep at night?
