swear not to be concubine

Chapter 152

The lights of the flower market are like daylight, and when I look back suddenly, the man is in a dimly lit place.

Shen Chuo was wearing a crimson crane cloak, with his hands folded in his sleeves, looking at Jian Yan who was a few steps away.

A lilac-purple double-breasted coat with a gold pattern, and an ivory-colored pleated skirt.The pink and purple flowered cloak that was draped outside was surrounded by a circle of fluffy white fur.The bun on the head is the bun of a married woman, but there is a pearl flower the size of a copper coin and a pearl in the hairpin.

But even with such a simple dress, she is still gorgeous.Among the crowd, she was the one he saw at a glance.

Since the conversation with Xu Zhongxuan two years ago, he took his buddies out to sea half for relaxation and half for family business.Not long ago when he came back, he heard what happened to Jian Yan in the past two years, and he was also faintly moved in his heart, thinking of going to see her.But not long after that, he found out about her and Xu Zhongxuan's wedding.

But now, Xu Zhongxuan should take good care of her, right?After all, Xu Zhongxuan has done so many things for her in these years, even waiting for her for so many years.

Looking at the smiling face on her face, she clearly had a good time.Then look at the one next to her who is looking at the lotus lantern on the water...

Shen Chuo suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

So he tilted his head slightly, smiled at Jian Yan, then turned around, and his figure slowly blended into the crowd.

Jian Yan did not expect to meet Shen Chuo here and at this time.

In fact, when she thought about it in the past two or three years, what Shen Chuo said would always linger in her mind.

He is willing to accompany her to travel all over the world, willing to give her unlimited space to display her talents, and not let her stick to the life of an ordinary boudoir girl.

If this is the case, it will actually make people very tempted and moved.

It's just a pity that Xu Zhongxuan was already in her heart at that time, and she couldn't tolerate others anymore.

Now seeing him smiling at her like this, and then turning around and leaving freely, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

This is naturally the best.

Her hand was suddenly held by someone, she turned her head, and saw Xu Zhongxuan Qingjun's face.

"What are you looking at?" He said in a low voice.

Shen Chuo was there just now, he naturally saw it.

What Shen Chuo said back then still rings in my ears.

What Jian Yan wants is a wider world and freedom, instead of staying in the inner house every day and year like ordinary boudoir girls.

So he used to be so domineering, always hoping that her eyes would be on him all day long.

But in fact, he is also extremely unconfident in his heart.

When he was free these years, he would ask her what the world was like before.So he knew that one day a car can travel more than 1 miles, and people can fly in the sky in an airplane to reach any place you want to go in this world.

Sometimes he would look up at the blue sky and long white clouds above his head.

Flying in the sky, looking at the clouds far below me, no matter how tall the mountains in the world, no matter how wide the ocean, looking down from such a high altitude, it is nothing to think about.

He never thought about such a thing, but as far as Jian Yan is concerned, all of this is so ordinary.

The more Xu Zhongxuan knew about these things, the less confident he felt.

Jian Yan would sometimes tease and say with a smile that an ancient like you, how could you imagine what kind of technological development we had at that time.

Jian Yan's words were just teasing unintentionally, but when they fell into Xu Zhongxuan's ears, she felt that her mind was full of worries.

He can't give Jian Yan the life she had at that time, he can only try his best to be the best man in this era, so that Jian Yan won't get tired of him in the future, right?

So on the one hand, he wanted to work hard to make himself stronger, but on the other hand, he was still not confident in his heart.

He always didn't want Jian Yan's eyes to stay on other people, especially men for a moment longer.

Jian Yan didn't know the many twists and turns in his heart, but shook his hand instead, with a bright smile on her face, and said, "I didn't see anything. Let's go, let's go watch the fireworks." .”

In addition to admiring lanterns all over the city during the Lantern Festival, watching fireworks is also a great fun.

This time it was Jian Yan who took Xu Zhongxuan's hand and ran straight forward.

When I got to the center of the street, I saw that many fireworks had been set off there, and many people were crowded shoulder to shoulder, and there were soldiers on the side to maintain order.

Jian Yan pulled Xu Zhongxuan, and after squeezing for half a day, she just squeezed into the middle of the crowd, but she was still squeezed by the people around her, and she was about to become a paper figure.

In the end, she simply pulled Xu Zhongxuan out and chose a secluded place to stand.

Anyway, the fireworks will be vacated, and you can see them wherever you stand.

And when she and Xu Zhongxuan had just stood at the entrance of a quiet alley, a cold light suddenly rose up in the heart of the street, and then in the middle of the sky, it exploded with a bang, like a yellow flower Dragon claw chrysanthemum.

Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous sound of whistling, and all kinds of colors bloomed in midair, like the gorgeous sunset glow in the evening, reflecting the entire capital city like fire trees, silver flowers, and night sky.

The crowd naturally began to boil, and Jian Yan was also happy, looking up at the bunches of fireworks going into the sky.

But suddenly her cheeks were held by Xu Zhongxuan with both hands.

When she looked over, she could clearly see Xu Zhongxuan's black eyes.

The fireworks in the middle of the street are still crackling, ten brocade-like colors are constantly flying into the sky, and thousands of brilliant rays of light are reflected on Xu Zhongxuan's eyes and face, changing colors constantly.

In the end, he held her tightly in his arms, and said in a low voice but firmly: "Yan'er, never leave my side."

Jian Yan didn't know why he suddenly said such a sentence.But even though his words sounded firm on the surface, she could still feel the uneasiness inside.

So she leaned in his arms docilely, wrapped her arms around his waist, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will never leave your side."

Xu Zhongxuan hugged her even tighter.

But Xu Zhongxuan still didn't think it was enough, he wished he could just penetrate her and crush her, and stuff it tightly into his flesh and blood, so that she would only be hers after all.

At the end when Jian Yan was lying on the pillow, unable to open her tired eyes, she suddenly heard Xu Zhongxuan whispering in her ear: "Yan'er, give me a baby."

With a child, those two people will naturally have another layer of fetters, so Jian Yan will never leave him again.

Jian Yan was in a daze and didn't answer anything, but she was thinking in her heart, such a thing as having a child, it can't be said that it can be born after birth.

Of course it won't be so easy.At least until the end of the year, Jian Yan was not pregnant yet.

And during this year, the power Xu Zhongxuan held in his hand became more and more powerful.

He actually joined forces with the eunuch Zheng Hua, the supervisor of ceremonies, to kick Wu Kaiji from the position of chief assistant, and instead took the position of chief assistant himself.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is currently in power, and everyone is afraid of him.Occasionally, when Jian Yan went out with him to attend appointments with his colleagues, who would not be sincere and fearful towards him?Didn't even dare to look at him.Even the wives of his colleagues were respectful when they saw her, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense.

And Jian Yan sometimes got interested, and took Si Yue and Ting Feng to go outside in a simple outfit, and could hear many people's comments on Xu Zhongxuan in the teahouses and restaurants.

On the one hand, it is said that he is the youngest chief assistant since the founding of the country, and on the other hand, when he talked about his deeds at the beginning of the third year, who would not say that he is amazing and brilliant?But on the other hand, he also said that although he had an elegant and good-looking appearance, he is now so ruthless, his hands are stained with blood, and he can really reach the point where a child can stop crying.

If you want to climb up, you will naturally have to step on the bones and blood of countless people.But these bones and blood, it's fine if they deserve what they deserve, but what about innocent people?
As the saying goes, there is one dynasty and one courtier. When the new emperor took office two years ago, there were naturally some courtiers in the court that the new emperor didn't like.In the past two years, the new emperor ordered Xu Zhongxuan to remove all the former courtiers and replace them with his own people.

Because the new emperor wants to use Xu Zhongxuan, he will naturally acquiesce that the power in his hands has been increasing infinitely.And when all the courtiers who were in the way before were eliminated, but the power in Xu Zhongxuan's hands expanded to a certain limit, how would the emperor deal with Xu Zhongxuan?

At that time, whether Xu Zhongxuan wants to stay and how long he will stay is just an idea of ​​the emperor.

Jian Yan guessed that Xu Zhongxuan naturally knew about such things.

It's just that he never said these things to himself.

No matter how he is covering the sky with one hand in the court now, or whether the emperor has started to fear him and seek trouble with him, he will not be able to see the slightest bit on his face after he returns.

He was just as usual, chatting with her, or reading books, painting, or even cooking together.

But once, Jian Yan noticed the black and blue color on his knees.

He didn't like to wear underwear when he was sleeping in the past, and he didn't want her to wear it either, saying that he liked the feeling of skin-to-skin contact between two people, but suddenly he started to wear underwear when he was sleeping.

Jian Yan felt strange in her heart, so she asked him the reason.But he just said lightly that it was cold, and it would be cold to sleep without underwear.

But Jian Yan was naturally suspicious, so she secretly rolled up his trouser legs while he was asleep.

The bruises on her knees are not shocking, and in fact they are not very serious, but Jian Yan still feels pain like a knife in her heart when she sees them.

This Wuqing must have been left behind after kneeling for a long time.

Then think about how the emperor relied heavily on Xu Zhongxuan a while ago, and then look at how he treats Xu Zhongxuan now and the rumors in the folks. It has always been said that Xu Zhongxuan is a cruel man, and he has all those ministers who disagree with him. Prison, or sent to exile, or directly strangled, but no one has ever said that the emperor is wrong.

When the government and the people resent Xu Zhongxuan to a certain extent, the emperor can completely push Xu Zhongxuan out. At that time, he will pretend to restore the reputation of the minister who was killed by Xu Zhongxuan in the past, and the government and the people will only praise him as a wise king , and all other scapegoats will be borne by Xu Zhongxuan.

At that time, how can Xu Zhongxuan be alive?

Jian Yan felt that the hand on Xu Zhongxuan's knee was trembling violently.

At this time, a hand pressed her hand.

She looked up and saw Xu Zhongxuan had woken up at some point, lying there, looking at her quietly.

Jian Yan also looked back at the past.Then she raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and then said calmly: "Xu Zhongxuan, let's have a good chat."
