[Estimated to open in 2027]
Shen Cheng has been following Zong Cong since he was a child. She goes wherever Zong Cong goes and does whatever Zong Cong does.
After all, in the military camp full of people, only Zong Cong was similar in age to her.
Although Zong Cong is eight years older than her, he is not that similar...
——
Speaking of which, Zong Cong is also a weirdo. He obviously comes from a martial arts family, but he likes to study those unique things.
What a coincidence, Shen Cheng neither likes fighting or killing, nor does he like people who don't pay attention to hygiene. However, there are many such things and people in the military camp.
Therefore, the gentle and clean Zong Cong became the only person she clung to.
The two of them run together every morning, read together in the morning, practice swordplay together in the afternoon, and play together in the evening. Even when they wake up at night, they have to wake up together. The so-called inseparability is nothing more than that.
After Zong Cong's twentieth birthday, her parents started looking for a marriage partner, but she always said that she was still young and didn't want to get married so early, so her ancestral mother left her alone.
It wasn't until she was twenty-three years old that her mother-in-law finally lost her patience and asked angrily: "How long are you going to wait?"
How long will it take?
Probably have to wait until Shen Cheng gets married.
Shen Cheng ate, slept, and went out with her every day. If she got married first, Shen Cheng would be sad.
——
Two years later, the border was in crisis and the country was severely short of personnel. Even people with little experience like Zong Cong were pushed to the battlefield.
Before parting, Shen Cheng asked: "I am seventeen this year. I will be an adult when you come back this time. Will you be willing to get married to me then?"
Zong Cong remained silent.
She was eight years older than Shen Cheng and had never thought about getting married to Shen Cheng. She just took care of Shen Cheng like a younger sister.
But she didn't want to refuse, she didn't want to refuse from the bottom of her heart, she didn't know why.
Therefore, we can only remain silent
Shen Cheng didn't urge Zong Cong to promise her anything at this moment. He just hung the peace charm she asked for from the temple on Zong Cong's waist. "This matter is not urgent. We will talk about it when you come back."
——
The battle at the border was fought beautifully, and good news came one after another, but Shen Cheng failed to wait until Zong Cong came back.
The late king had no children, and the family members were withering away. Shen Cheng accidentally became the heir to the throne.
When they met again, Shen Cheng was the aloof emperor, and Zong Cong was a minister who abided by his duties.
Shen Cheng wanted to make Zong Cong a high official, but Zong Cong said this was against the rules.
Shen Cheng wanted to reward Zong Cong generously, but Zong Cong said that the national treasury was empty and he could save money if he could.
As Shen Cheng took a step forward, Zong Cong took a step back, always maintaining a distance that was neither far nor close, trying hard to maintain the childhood sweethearts' relationship that was like walking on thin ice between monarch and minister.
Only when Shen Cheng said, "I order you to stand guard in front of my door every day and not to leave my sight even half a step," Zong Cong did not refuse.
From then on, Zong Cong became the only person who could approach Shen Cheng with a knife.
Shen Cheng also became someone Zong Cong didn't dare to hope for.
——
When the new emperor ascended the throne, there was a lot of mess to deal with. Shen Cheng pressed Zong Cong in front of the desk every night and ordered her to deal with it, just like when she was a child, Shen Cheng always cried and made Zong Cong help with homework.
Zong Cong: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
Shen Cheng: "Then you sleep with me."
Zong Cong: "I will handle it now."
As a minister, Zong Cong was extremely busy, but as the emperor of Shen Cheng, he was leisurely and leisurely, serving Zong Cong tea, water and snacks, as if Zong Cong was the emperor.
Zong Cong: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
Shen Cheng: "Then you sleep with me."
Zong Cong limped out of the Imperial Study Room every day with red eyes, rubbing his hands and waist, so that rumors spread all over the place that Zong Cong and His Majesty had an unusual relationship.
Zong Cong: "Your Majesty, you have to deal with these rumors."
Shen Cheng: "I'll take care of it if you sleep with me."
Zong Cong scolded Shen Cheng for being a foolish king, and his ancestor's century-old legacy was completely destroyed by Shen Cheng's hands.
Shen Cheng didn't defend himself at all, turned around and jumped into the river.
Zong Cong heard this and personally led 300 soldiers to fish it out. He cried bitterly over the body of someone who didn't know whose body it was.
Seeing that Zong Cong was about to draw his sword and kill himself, Shen Cheng immediately jumped out from the side and asked with a smile: "Zong Qing, are you willing to sleep with me?"
