The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter97
Three months later, Qingzhou, Kyoto.

The disaster relief work in the two provinces of Jiang and Tai was finally settled. Su Mo returned to the court with a group of officials and teachers, but the queen mother and the young emperor went out of the city to meet them in person. For a while, Dongcheng Gate became an important place in Beijing.

"The regent is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. He has worked tirelessly for the Qingyue court and the people of the world. He has devoted himself to turning a catastrophe into nothing. My family is here to express my gratitude to the regent on behalf of the people of the world."

The Empress Dowager Ji sat in the Luanjia, led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to wait at the gate of the city, and said such words in front of the cultural relics officials. Although she didn't get out of the car to greet her, she had already given Su Mo the greatest respect. They knelt down one after another: "The regent is loyal to the emperor and loves the people, the blessing of the Qingyue court, and the blessing of the common people in the world!"

"It's a big show." On the horse behind Su Mo, Jinse was dressed in men's clothing. Seeing this, she suddenly turned her head and said to Lu Li beside her.

Lu Li looked shocked, looked at Su Mo in front of him, and made a silent gesture to Jin Se.

Su Mo naturally heard it, and without looking back, he got off his horse and got off the horse. Just as he landed, a small figure suddenly slipped out of the queen mother's carriage, and ran towards Su Mo, shouting joyfully : "Second Uncle!"

The little emperor quickly threw himself into Su Mo's arms, was held high above his head by Su Mo, and laughed happily.

At this moment, Jinse received Lu Li's surprised look: "Is that the little emperor?"

Jinse knew what he was surprised at, and curled the corners of her lips: "Yeah, don't you look a lot like the Prince Regent?"

Lu Li frowned slightly, feeling that she was a little different today: "Relying on him pampering you, you really dare to say anything!"

Pet her?Jin Se glanced at Su Mo's back, then quickly turned her head away.

In the past few months, Su Mo's attitude towards her was still lukewarm, as if he still couldn't let go of Haitang's death, but Jinse had a different feeling in his heart.If Su Mo really hated her because of Haitang's death, he could let her go and keep her out of sight, but he still took her by his side.Thinking about the day when Su Mo asked her Haitang's last words, she just felt that he seemed to be trying to tease her guilt.But in the end, this is just my own guess. In addition to my mental disorder, Jinse is not sure, I am afraid it is my own wild imagination.

"I'm just telling the truth, how can it be nonsense?" Jinse answered Lu Li absent-mindedly, and then turned her gaze to the inside of the city gate.

After all, it is back again.

Su Mo was hugging the little emperor and talking. Behind the empress dowager, the curtain of a carriage was slowly opened, and a woman with a gentle and quiet figure came slowly, and finally stood still in front of Su Mo, speaking warmly with a smile, but her tone was gentle. There was a slight trembling, which was the long-awaited surprise: "My lord is back."

Su Mo looked at her with a smile: "Why are you here too? You never like to join in this kind of excitement."

Rong Yue took another two steps forward, and gently held Su Mo: "My husband is returning from a long distance, how can a wife not welcome her?"

Su Mo shook her hand, Rong Yue lowered her eyebrows and smiled, but suddenly realized something, raised her head again, and looked at the position behind Su Mo.The moment she saw Jinse, Rong Yue's eyebrows flashed in surprise, and when her eyes fell back on Su Mo, she had already turned into a gentle smile: "I have already rearranged the palace up and down. Let's welcome back the prince."

"Okay." Su Mo said, "The Empress Dowager is hosting a banquet in the palace, and it is inconvenient for her to go, so you can take her back to the mansion and arrange her first."

"Yes." Rong Yue replied, and looked at Jinse again, but Jinse was still only looking in the direction of the city gate with a misty expression.

After entering the city, Lu Li naturally went to the palace with Su Mo to have a banquet, and Rong Yue invited Jin Se into her carriage and returned home first.

"I'm really sorry for the princess." Jinse said lightly, "I was able to escape from the capital with the help of the princess, but I didn't expect to come back now. I'm really sorry for disappointing the princess."

Rong Yue looked at her, but just smiled faintly: "I try my best, but I can't resist the destiny in the end, so that's all."

"Destiny?" Jinse slightly tilted her head to look at her, "What is destiny?"

Rong Yue's expression froze for a moment, and at the end, she slowly smiled again: "I regard him as my heaven."

Jinther paused, forced the corners of her lips to curl up, and stopped talking.

When they arrived at the Prince Regent's Mansion, before the two got out of the carriage, they suddenly heard a movement outside. A moment later, the door of the carriage was opened from the outside, and a head poked in impatiently, and saw the second man sitting in the carriage. When I was human, I was stunned.

"Miss Chi." Rong Yue smiled at her, "The prince will go to the palace for a banquet. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

The disappointment on Chi Wei's face was hard to conceal, he glanced at Jinse, and called out with some grievances: "Sister Jinse."

Jinse left her without saying goodbye in the capital of Zhongli before, and later learned that Fang Haitang sent someone to send her back to the capital. At this moment, she still couldn't help being slightly startled: "You are also here."

After getting off the carriage, Chi Wei immediately shook Jinse's hand, and continued to hold Jinse's hand all the way into the mansion. He looked at Jinse again and again, but he seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Rong Yue said to Jinse: "I'll arrange a place for you, you guys rest for a while, so you can talk."

As soon as Rong Yue left, Chi Wei immediately said, "Sister Jinse, did you come back with him this time?"

Jinse looked at her anxious eyebrows, suddenly, she didn't seem to know how to answer.

Seeing that she was silent, Chi Wei suddenly made sure of something, his eyes froze for a moment, and then spread away, tears streaming down his face.

"Chi Wei."

She let go of Jinse's hand little by little, and Jinse couldn't bear it in her heart. Just as she called her, she suddenly stood up and wiped the tears from her face: "Sister Jinse, I'm not... He finally got his wish , I am also happy for him. I, I will go back first."

Forget it, without waiting for Jinse to answer, Chi Wei turned around and rushed out, leaving only an unstoppable sob, and disappeared outside the flower hall.

Sitting quietly, Jinse finally couldn't help sighing.

At night, it was not until Haishi that Su Mo finally turned back from the palace, and Rong Yue did not rest, and finally waited for him to come back, and hurriedly greeted him: "The prince is back."

Su Mo drank a lot of wine at the banquet, and was slightly tipsy. Rong Yue helped him into the room and sat down, Fang said: "I'll ask someone to prepare the hangover soup."

Su Mo responded lightly, propped his forehead with his hands, and said, "You know I'll be late today, so you should rest earlier and don't wait for me."

"The prince has been away for a long time, and finally returned to the capital. I won't be able to sleep without waiting for you to return home." Rong Yue smiled, seeing that his expression was a little tired, she couldn't help but said, "Should I help the prince to change clothes first?"

"No need." Su Mo suddenly sat up straight and shook his head vigorously.

Rong Yue's heart was clear, and she said: "I put Jinse in the garden where she used to live, and she should have fallen asleep by now."

"En." Su Mo responded, and reached out to hold her again, "Thank you for your hard work."

Rong Yue smiled, paused for a moment, and finally said: "My lord brought Jinse back this time, is it different from other times? From now on, should I call her sister?"

Su Mo suddenly laughed twice: "With her nature, will she recognize you as her sister?"

"It doesn't matter whether she recognizes it or not? As long as the prince recognizes it, then I will too."

Su Mo clenched her hand even more, and said, "If there is no you in this mansion, I'm afraid I don't know what to do?"

Rong Yue chuckled twice, and withdrew her hand: "She just came back, I'm afraid she won't be used to sleeping, so my lord, go and have a look."

Su Mo paused for a moment, Fang nodded, and said, "You should go back earlier and rest, I can drink the hangover soup myself."

Rong Yue responded, then got up and left.

Su Mo sat alone for a while, drank the hangover soup, then got up and walked to the garden where Jinse lived.

"princess?"

At the corner of the corridor in the East Chamber, Rong Yue stood there motionless, watching Su Mo's figure gradually go away, her eyes gradually became sad.Seeing this, the servant girl behind couldn't bear it, and said: "Wangfei, go back and rest first, and it won't be too late to meet the prince tomorrow."

It wasn't until Su Mo's figure disappeared that Rong Yue gave a low laugh and said, "Youth is fleeting, and it's only a matter of time before a beauty ages, so why not be too late?"

It was late at night, but the lights in Jinse's room were still on. Su Mo was not surprised, stepped into the room and opened the curtain.

Jinse was sitting at the table assembling a Kong Mingsuo, when she heard the sound, she turned her head to look at him, then lowered her head to continue.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the fight, she couldn't go on. She studied for a long time and still couldn't get the point, so she finally threw it away.

Su Mo took it over without any hassle, disassembled part of what she had put together before, and put it back together, but it was very smooth, but it was assembled in a short time, and put back on the table.

Jinse took the finished product and looked at it. For a long while, the color of her eyes did not fluctuate. At the end, she whispered: "So you are not only a master at playing with people's hearts, but also a master at playing with Kong Mingsuo."

Su Mo's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned his head to look at her.

Jinse put down the Kongming lock, and suddenly turned her head and smiled at him: "Did you come to visit me?"

Her eyes were clear and bright, and she said these words frankly and fearlessly, Su Mo was slightly startled, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why do you know that?"

Jinse raised her hand to untie her hair, and said lightly: "Bring me back to the capital, and raise me in your regent's mansion, for the purpose, isn't it to turn me into one of your many concubines? Come late at night, not for So, why? Since I can follow you back, I recognize it."

She flicked her ink-like black hair, with a casual look: "I have washed, the water in the basin over there is clean."

Su Mo's lips curled up.Since even the water for washing has been prepared for him, it might as well be too kind.

In the deep night, the only red candle left in the house was flickering, the light was flickering, accompanied by the woman's panting, which was so ambiguous that it made people's minds flutter.

Su Mo's mind was indeed turbulent, and it swayed back to many years ago.

The star pupils are slightly opened, neither welcoming nor rejecting, although there is moaning in the mouth, there is no trace of coquettishness on the face.Jinse's demeanor at this moment is really similar to Jinyan's when she first married him.

So he suddenly lost interest, he paused suddenly, and then pulled away.

Jinse slowly recovered her breath, opened her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and only saw his stern face.She suddenly sneered twice, raised her hand, and gently scratched his shoulder, pretending to be innocent: "What's wrong with you?"

Su Mo didn't answer, but closed his eyes, and suddenly turned his back to her.

Jinse's hands slipped from his shoulders to his back, but they didn't move away, and continued to stroke carelessly.

Even though both of them were awake, the room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

After a long time, her low voice sounded from behind: "When will you marry Chi Wei?"

It turned out that this was the attempt tonight.Su Mo said lightly: "I really need to worry about you."

Jinse sighed lightly: "The girl has a serious heart, and she must not let go of what she has decided. If you hadn't provoked me back then, how could you have the troubles you have now?"

Su Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.

Behind him, Jinse seemed to have noticed something, and quickly withdrew her hand.

But it's too late.

Su Mo turned around, covered her body abruptly, and immediately repeated her words: "You are right. If you hadn't provoked me back then, why would you be in trouble now?"

Jinse was startled for a moment, he lowered his body calmly and barged in again.

She gasped heavily and couldn't help staring at him, but he hooked her chin and raised the corners of his eyes: "Man, you should pay the price for what you have done. Since you understand, it's great .”

He became ruthless all of a sudden, and every movement hit her rationality hard.Above the relationship between men and women, she is jerky after all, how could she be his opponent?
But after a while, Jinse was defeated, and it was impossible to confront him any more, so she gritted her teeth and endured it, hoping that this torture would pass quickly.

But Su Mo never seemed to get what she wanted.In fact, he has already passed the age of impulsiveness, but tonight, this girl is really angry with him.

The two had been entangled until Yinshi, Jinse had not known how many times she had died, she closed her eyes and lay on the soft pillow without moving.When Su Mo pulled up the quilt for her, she suddenly opened her eyes: "I'm hungry."

Hearing this, Su Mo just hooked the corners of his lips and replied, "It's time to eat." After saying that, he turned sideways and closed his eyes, wanting to fall asleep.

Jinse got angry, put on her clothes, and rummaged through the room, making big noises from time to time.

On the bed, Su Mo frowned, and finally got up.

At this time, the cook on duty had also rested. Hearing that the master was about to eat, there was a lot of trouble for a while, and finally two bowls of silver noodles with chicken soup and some delicate side dishes were brought from the kitchen.

After taking two bites, Jinse felt disgusted, put down her chopsticks and said, "It's not delicious."

Su Mo just took a sip of tea, when he saw that she was about to get up, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "Leave after eating."

Jinse raised her head and glanced at him, but saw that his eyes were clearer and more leisurely, as if he was indifferent, but there was a hint of threat faintly.Jin Se really sat down, took the chopsticks and stuffed something into her mouth again.

"You don't even know what I like to eat." Jinse finished eating the noodles, and while holding a bowl of soup, she complained indistinctly, "Su Li never forces me to eat something I don't like."

Su Mo paused slightly for the hand that was holding the vegetables in her bowl, then put down the chopsticks, and said, "When I was in Jiangzhou, I saw you holding rough-faced steamed buns every day and eating them to your heart's content. I think you like that. I know gone."

Jinse was choked suddenly, put down the bowl and coughed heavily.

Su Mo stretched out his hand to caress her back, patting her back lightly.

Jinse managed to calm down her breathing, looked up at him again, and suddenly corrected her expression, and smiled at him: "Rough bread is fine, I just wait for you to marry Chi Wei, and eat it at the banquet It's a good meal."

After she finished speaking, she was about to get up, but Su Mo held her hand again.

"Jinse, why do you have to involve others in the matter between us?" He said.

Jinther paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "There are many people between you and me. There has never been us, never before, and never will."

She struggled to break away from his hand, Su Mo stood up immediately, Jinse fled back to the bed in three steps at a time, covered herself tightly with the quilt, but heard the sound of the bell and drum towers coming from a distance, it was already It's time.She felt relieved, and only said to Su Mo: "You should go to court." After saying that, she wrapped herself in the quilt, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

It was already high in the sun when Rong Yue came to visit, but Jinse was still asleep and didn't know it, Rong Yue told her not to disturb her, so the maid Sui'er poured a cup of tea and asked Rong Yue to sit in the hall.

Rong Yue sat down, looked at Sui'er and said, "Did Wang Ye sleep well here last night?"

Sui'er paused for a moment before saying: "If you go back to the princess, the prince...has never had a rest last night."

Rong Yue's face froze slightly: "How can I never rest?"

Sui'er blushed slightly, and told about the situation after Su Mo's arrival last night, and truthfully told Jin Se Yinshi about eating: "After the girl finishes eating, the prince will change his clothes and go to court."

Hearing this, Rong Yue lowered her eyes slightly, and sighed lightly: "I have been outside for so long, suffered so much, and I don't know how to take care of my body when I come back."

"Princess, don't worry." Wen Xing, Rong Yue's attendant, hurriedly persuaded, "The prince has just come back, and there is no caring person to serve him outside for a few days, so it will be a bit tiring. The prince has never been careless. Man, now that I have returned to the palace, with the concubine by my side, it will soon be the same as before."

Rong Yue was silent for a moment, then Fang said: "Let the kitchen prepare the ingredients, cook a good soup later, and send it to the palace for the prince."

"Yes." Wen Xing replied with her head bowed.

Only then did Rongyue stand up, walked a few steps, and turned back to Sui'er and said, "Haosheng serves Miss Song, don't make any trouble, but don't let her do everything, go out with her more, you can also go to I'm going to sit there."

Jinse woke up at noon, took two mouthfuls of food, then sat in the room in a daze.Sui'er came in with tea, and when she saw Jinse's appearance, she remembered Rongyue's order, and hurriedly said cautiously: "Girl, I just had dinner, why don't you go for a walk? The weather is fine outside."

Jinse seemed to have heard it, but after a vague reply, she still sat there motionless.

From the way she treated Su Mo last night, Sui Er felt that this girl was not easy to serve. Seeing that she didn't move, she didn't try to persuade her any more. She was about to leave quietly, but Jin Se suddenly stood up: "Go to the garden of Princess Regent. let's go."

Rong Yue was in the house taking stock of the accounts of the mansion, when she heard Jinse came, she put aside what she was doing and invited Jinse to walk around in the garden.

"Are you still used to it when you just came back to the capital? If there is anything missing in the garden, just send someone to tell me. If the people under you don't serve well, just tell me." Rong Yue smiled to Jinse, "Now that I have It’s a family, so there’s really no need to be too formal.”

"It's really hard for the princess to take care of the whole palace." Jinse picked a chrysanthemum by hand and said while admiring it.

Rong Yue paused, and said: "The prince is busy with state affairs, and we women can't help him. We can only help him take care of the palace, so that he won't have to worry about it."

Jinse sniffed the chrysanthemum in her hand, and said with a light smile, "That's right. I don't know about welcoming Chi Wei, did the princess worry about him?"

Rong Yue was startled when she heard the words: "Chi Wei?"

"What's going on between him and Chi Wei can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, let alone the princess? Now that other girls are getting older, but they haven't given an explanation to others, what's the matter? He is busy with state affairs. It’s fine if you don’t make it, why doesn’t the concubine help to get it up?”

Rong Yue looked at her, first she frowned and thought about it, then laughed after a while: "Indeed, it takes a discerning eye to see what's going on between the prince and Chi Wei. Are your eyes blindfolded?"

Jinse's hand that was turning the chrysanthemum froze slightly, Rongyue saw the eyes, and continued: "How could you not know that Chi Wei only fell into the eyes of the prince because his temperament was somewhat similar to yours before. Now, You are already by Wang Ye's side, so why would Wang Ye care about a substitute?"

Jinse turned her head to argue, but just as she opened her mouth, her eyes touched the crimson figure behind Rong Yue, and when she tried to look closely, the figure had turned around, covered her face and ran away.

Jinse finally recognized the figure and was shocked: "Chi Wei!"

Dark night, boundless.Jinse walked alone on a small path where she couldn't see the way ahead, and there was no grass growing around her, which kept tying her feet, but she still walked forward stubbornly.She didn't know what was in front of her, and she didn't know where she was going, so she kept walking like this until somewhere in front of her, a ray of light appeared leisurely.

Jinse suddenly quickened her pace, gradually getting closer to the light, and finally saw Chi Wei's face clearly in the halo, she let out a long sigh of relief: "Chi Wei!"

Chi Wei turned her head in a daze, looked at her, and suddenly burst into tears: "Sister Jinse."
