2. Chapter 2

Fanghe Tower is the tallest restaurant in the capital. It is said to be built in the imitation of the Yellow Crane Tower in Jiangnan. It is five floors high and has a prosperous business on weekdays. When it was the Shangyuan and Mid-Autumn Festival, such a good day suitable for going out to enjoy the lanterns, Fanghe Tower could not be entered with money. It had long been appointed by a nobleman in advance.

Standing high and seeing far, but if you want to stand high, you must climb the stairs.

Tang Yu is a lady from a wealthy family. At most, he goes out to visit relatives and friends a few times a month. Not to mention that he is weak, he is also a delicate body of a daughter. When he climbs to the third floor, he is out of breath. The lanterns above his head emit a soft light, and the girl's cheeks are red under the lamp, and she breathes gently. She is like the begonia blooming at night, and I feel pity for her.

"I'll help you." Wei Zhao walked to her and lowered his voice.

Tang Yu shook his head, stood there for a while, looked at the top, then glanced at the two guards who were following the second floor not far away, frowned and said, "Let's go." After that, he stepped onto the wooden steps in front of him.

Wei Zhao was afraid that she would fall off the air and followed her considerately. Seeing her cousin climbing up step by step without any ease, thinking of Song Qin who was coercing them to come to enjoy the lanterns, the haze in Wei Zhao's dark eyes became heavier and heavier.

Song Qin, Regent.

The late emperor had two brothers, King Cheng was a mother of his mother, and King Duan Song Qin was born by his half mother. When Song Qin was sixteen years old, the barbarians in the southwest rebelled. The late emperor sent Song Qin to the expedition, which seemed to be highly used, but actually had murderous intentions. However, Song Qin had a great life, and only 2,000 people were left in the end. He relied on these two thousand soldiers to defeat the barbarians and quell the war. After the war, Song Qin killed 10,000 prisoners to pay tribute to the deceased army, became famous in one battle, and was known as the Ghost Prince.

The late emperor guarded him and ordered Song Qin to station in the southwest wilderness, and he would not be allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict.

Gradually, the people in the capital almost forgot that there was another king Duan in Daqi.

But the late emperor did not forget it. Every year, he would send people to investigate and secretly to see that Song Qin was honest and unfaithful in the southwest. He wanted to use Song Qin to guard the border, but also to fear that Song Qin would expand his power secretly. Unfortunately, his brother Cheng Wang rebelled and led the rebels all the way to the capital, plotting to murder the late emperor, and killing the prince.

Seeing that King Cheng was about to usurp the throne, Song Qin went to Beijing overnight to quell the rebellion with thunder.

During the melee, the four princes of the late emperor, two princesses, died, only the fifth prince who was only four years old, and a third princess who had just been born prematurely. At that time, Song Qin was twenty-two years old, wearing armor, and Yingzi, the god of war who was invincible, changed into a python robe. Long Zhang and Fengzi were like emperors. He first made military achievements and suppressed the treacherous ministers and thieves. He immediately received the support of half of the court officials and advised him to ascend the throne.

Song Qin refused and elected the fifth prince from Concubine Shu as the new emperor. Because the fifth prince was young, he temporarily assisted the government until the emperor was twenty-year-old.

It seems that the throne of Wuxin, but in the past four years, almost all the civil and military officials of the court stood on Song Qin's side. The empress dowager and the emperor's words were not as effective as Song Qin's eyes. However, those who acted in accordance with others, promoted their ranks and opposed others were only idle and arduous, and their ambitions were obvious.

Wei Zhao is one of the few people who hate Song Qin the most in the capital because the current queen mother is his aunt and the emperor is his cousin.

However, when the emperor was young, they could only wait for the opportunity.

"Uncle Emperor, why haven't Sister Yu come up yet?" In the private room on the top floor, the third princess leaned against Song Qin's chest, staring at the door with big eyes, black and white.

"They walk slowly." Song Qin lowered his head and tidied up the messy hair when he put down his hood. His face was fair and his breathing was stable. He was strong and healthy, and he practiced both internal and external skills. He hugged a thin girl and climbed five floors as if he was walking on flat ground.

"Why didn't the emperor wait for Sister Yu?" the third princess raised her head and asked in confusion.

Song Qin touched the girl's brain, but there was no answer.

The third princess looked at him and did not ask any more.

In fact, she has always been afraid of this uncle because he is always cold. The third princess has never seen him laugh. She asked the nanny why the nanny didn't like to laugh. The nanny was very nervous to tell her not to ask, and it would be better not to mention the nanny. When she mentioned the nanny, the nanny's tone was even more terrifying than telling a fairy story.

Then she got sick and was so sick that she slept all day. One day she woke up and saw the emperor sitting by her bed and gently wiped her sweat. The third princess was taken care of by her elders for the first time, and she couldn't explain why. Suddenly she was not afraid of the emperor, even though the emperor still didn't like to laugh.

Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor brought her to the palace and asked her what she wanted to do the most. The third princess heard the nanny talk about the lantern festival outside the palace and said she wanted to see the lanterns, but the emperor really hugged her out. The emperor was very strong, and the nanny hugged her for a while and was exhausted. The emperor hugged her all the way and climbed such a high building, but she didn't even say she was tired.

The third princess likes to be held by the emperor's uncle, which is very comfortable, and she wants to go to bed.

The girl put all the weight on the man behind her.

Song Qin felt the subtle change. His eyes changed slightly. He looked down at the girl and happened to see the third princess yawning. The five-year-old girl opened her mouth wide and her breath was filled with the sweetness of candy that she had eaten two quarters of an hour ago. Song Qin had never smelled the breath of others so close, and was a little uncomfortable, but he did not avoid it. He gently pinched the girl's thin face, "Nannuan, don't sleep, fireworks will be set outside later."

If this is her last night, Song Qin hopes that this fatherless girl will be happier.

The third princess rubbed her eyes, lowered her fists, and saw a familiar figure finally appearing outside the door.

"Sister Yu!" the third princess shouted happily, but her voice was very light.

Tang Yu only showed up after resting outside. Seeing the third princess's sleepy look, he felt pity and distress. Let's put aside his dissatisfaction and fear of Song Qin for the time being. She smiled and teased the little girl, "The third princess is walking so fast, and Sister Yu can't catch up with you anymore."

The third princess said proudly: "Uncle is very strong!"

Tang Yu smiled and didn't look at Song Qin's face at all.

When their cousins ​​appeared, Song Qin turned his head and looked out the window, with a cold face, so he would not bother him.

He, the prince, didn't speak, Tang Yu and Wei Zhao could only stand.

The third princess was very polite, pointing to the chair opposite the table and asking the two to sit down. Every time Cousin Zhao and Sister Yu entered the palace, the Queen Mother would ask her to come over to play, so the third princess was very familiar with the cousin and sister.

"Sister Yu, you're so beautiful tonight." The little girl also loves beauty. Looking at Tang Yu, wearing a snow-green cloak opposite her, the third princess praised sincerely.

Tang Yu instinctively glanced at the only foreign man present.

Song Qin ignored it and looked at the bright moon outside the window with a faint expression.

Tang Yu relaxed and asked the third princess softly if the lantern festival was fun tonight.

The third princess nodded and wanted to speak, but always felt that Sister Yu was sitting too far away. She said it hard. The third princess looked at the chair next to the emperor and said expectantly: "Sister Yu, sit here, I want to get closer to you."

She also wanted Sister Yu to hug her. The imperial physician thought she was asleep and whispered to the emperor's uncle. The third princess heard it. She might not be able to live tonight. She liked Sister Yu, and Sister Yu had a very special fragrance on her body, which was faint. The nanny said that it was Sister Yu's body fragrance. Every girl would have it when she grew up, and she wanted to smell it again.

Go to sit next to Song Qin?

Tang Yu was embarrassed. Looking at Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao looked very bad. The Regent, who had been ignoring them, finally looked over, staring at Tang Yu with black eyes, with sharp eyes, like the sword on his waist, and was extremely cold.

Tang Yu understood that Song Qin wanted to give the third princess a wonderful night. He would do whatever the third princess wanted, whether it was robbed or threatened.

He gently pulled Wei Zhao's sleeve and told him not to be impulsive. Tang Yu stood up calmly and walked around Song Qin. Seeing that Song Qin looked out the window again, she sat down directly.

It seemed as if a flower was blooming quietly beside her, and Song Qin suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, as if it was there or not.

The long eyebrows frowned slightly, and Song Qin felt disgusted. He didn't like this odor from human body, even if it didn't smell bad.

"Sister Yu hugs."

He didn't like it, but the third princess liked it, so she reached out to Tang Yu in a coquettish way.

Tang Yu looked at Song Qin again. Song Qin did not move his head, turned his body, and moved his arms down with the third princess' armpits, meaning he was willing to hand over the third princess. Tang Yu then held the third princess' armpits, hugged the thin girl to his legs, sat facing Wei Zhao, and lowered his head to coax her: "Why is the third princess thin? Didn't you eat well? That's not possible. Eating more can make your elder sister so tall."

The third princess nodded obediently, "I drank half a bowl of porridge tonight, and the emperor's uncle fed me."

Tang Yu's eyelashes moved, unable to imagine Song Qin taking care of the third princess in detail.

The third princess looked up and saw that Sister Yu didn't seem to believe it. She turned her head and called Song Qin, "Uncle, I've eaten half a bowl of porridge, right?"

When his niece asked him to testify, Song Qin turned around and touched the girl's head, "Nuannuan be good."

The third princess smiled happily and continued to talk to Tang Yu.

Song Qin was about to turn around, but his gaze suddenly fell on his niece's waist. The girl hugged her niece exactly the same as his. She held her niece's little hand in her right hand and wrapped her left arm around her niece. Inside her cloak was a red begonia croaker with the same cuffs. In this way, the exposed hands made the exposed hands look white and shiny, comparable to the best mutton fat jade, slender and soft as boneless.

An unhappy gaze came from the opposite side. Song Qin knew who it was without looking up. He raised the corner of his lips contemptuously and turned out the window again.

Seeing that he withdrew his gaze from peeping Tang Yu, Wei Zhao's chest gradually calmed down.

Both men didn't speak, and only Tang Yu and the third princess had a gentle conversation in the private room.

I don’t know how long it took, but the window lit up. Tang Yu and the third princess looked over at the same time and happened to see a gorgeous firework.

The dark night is like a curtain, the bright moon is in the sky, and the bright fireworks are one after another, as beautiful as a dream.

"So beautiful..." the third princess murmured.

Tang Yu was about to agree, but the man in front of him suddenly turned around. At that moment, Tang Yu clearly saw the fireworks reflected in his phoenix's eyes. His eyes were like water, and the fireworks were beautiful. The eyes and the colorful colors outside the window were merged into a thrilling brilliance, which was neither gentle nor any gentleness.

Tang Yu lost his spirit.

Song Qin wanted to pick up the third princess, and her body inevitably approached her. She felt the little girl's gaze, and Song Qin raised her eyes.

He saw the fireworks in her clear eyes.

Tang Yu fell into a pair of bone-cold cold ponds. She woke up instantly and immediately lowered her eyes.

Song Qin's eyes flew across her pale face, cherry red lips, and the cloak strap on her chest, and came to her niece. He bent down, held up his niece's armpits, and when he lifted it up, he brought a faint fragrance of his daughter and rushed towards him.
