After Sang Nan negotiated the peace, Xie Jue had almost nothing to do and did not like to socialize. He would hide in the study every day to relax. Ningzhou has been too busy in the past few years and has almost no time to rest. Now it is a revenge vacation. He is free and happy every day. Ask about the emperor's wedding.The Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Ministry of Etiquette have their own set of procedures, and Xie Xun has big ideas. He does not need to worry about the emperor's wedding, so Xie Jue has more leisure.

"Tingfeng, let's have some midnight snacks together!"

Fang Chuning greeted him as if nothing was wrong and they had midnight snack together. The secret guard had just secretly told him that Xie Jue had no appetite for dinner and only drank a bowl of pumpkin porridge.Fang Chuning took his matters to heart. He took out the Babao duck from the food box and placed it on the warm coffee table by the window. The Babao duck was still hot. In addition to the Babao duck, there were also fried autumn bamboo shoots with bacon. , two dishes of fresh seasonal vegetables.The aroma filled the room and aroused Xie Jue's greed. He knew that Fang Chuning would bring Babao Duck over, so he didn't eat much for dinner.

When Xie Jue came over, Fang Chuning opened the window, and the autumn breeze came in, dissipating the stuffy heat in the study. He was afraid that the food would cool too quickly, so he moved the bracket, and the window was half-covered and half-open.

Fang Chuning had eaten, but was not full. As long as his father was at home, the atmosphere in the dining room was very depressing, so he just had a good time with Xie Jue.

"I went into the palace today to talk to Zhixu about his wedding to Ayu, and he said casually, Mrs. Fang is looking at women for you, are there any you like?" Xie Jue ate the soft meat politely. Crispy and fragrant Eight Treasure Duck, I didn’t even lift my eyelids, but the words I spoke were colder than the late autumn wind.

Fang Chuning scolded Xie Xun a few times in her mind, and had no choice but to confess honestly, "It was a date, but I refused."

"Whose girl do you like?"

Fang Chuning hesitated for a moment and then told the truth, "The third girl from the second room of the Zhang family."

Xie Jue is very unfamiliar with the girls from the Beijing clan. Except for Lin Yunong and Feng Yu, his impressions are all dull. Even if he has seen them, he may not remember who they are.

But he knew that if the Zhang family and the Fang family got married, it would be a very good marriage.

Xie Jue didn't know how to speak against his will, and stopped talking when he knew the truth. Fang Chuning explained a little impatiently, "After the New Year, you go on a mission to Sang Nan, and I will accompany you."

"How long can you escape?" Xie Jue asked calmly, looking up at Fang Chuning's eager eyes. He knew that some things were taboo. He might have been able to run wild in Ningzhou, but now he absolutely couldn't, not to mention Xie Xun. He is the emperor, he is the prince, and Fang Chuning is the eldest son of a first-grade military lord. The boundaries between what they can and cannot do are too clear.

This was also the reason why they had a tacit agreement to forget everything after returning from the Northern Barbarians and no one mentioned it.

Fang Chuning's eyes were dim. Both roads were full of thorns, making it difficult to walk, and he might not be able to reach the end he wanted. If the incident between him and Tingfeng was exposed, his father would never allow any scandal to be spread for the sake of family honor and majesty. Like a woman who has lost her reputation, she would rather be beaten to death with a stick to clean up her family.

"Let's... stop entangled." Xie Jue calmly sentenced them to death for their future. He was not tired of being involved in the whirlpool of public opinion with Fang Chuning, let alone felt fear. As long as they were of the same mind, they could Break down all barriers.But Xie Jue still couldn't see hope, and he didn't want Fang Chuning to choose between him and his family. To be fair, he wouldn't choose between Xie Jue, Ruyi and Fang Chuning, so he couldn't bear to see Fang Chuning in pain.

"Tingfeng, what are you talking about?" Fang Chuning's eyes became extremely scary because of his forbearance. He was thinking about how to convince his parents, but Xie Jue cut them off.

"We made this decision tacitly after we came back from the northern barbarians. Many things have happened in the past few years. Our families have been destroyed, the world has been turned upside down, and dynasties have changed. We are suffering, contradictory, entangled, and shaken in our original aspirations. There are always long lives in the desert. Not having a single flower is an extravagant hope. Now that I have gone round and round, I am just back to the starting point." Xie Jue's tone was as calm as ever, and no one knew how much tossing and turning and how much sleeplessness he had to go through to make such a decision. At night, it was like giving up one of my arms, "Aning, don't embarrass yourself."
