Chapter 14: The Imperial Capital

The two went out of the palace gate, the carriage of the wind was parked at the gate of the palace, and there was a carriage of Yueming next to it, the carriage of Yueming was three tall horses with bright coats and strong bodies, the carriage was extremely delicate and elegant, and there was a southern style, Fengzhao would hum the moon with his nose every time he saw it, and a man insisted on making a carriage look like a woman sitting, he ignored the moonlight and went back to the house after getting into the carriage. And Yueming's still indifferent appearance also got into his carriage, and said softly to the coachman: "Keep up, go to the Ningjun Palace" The coachman flicked the whip and the carriage drove away.

The two carriages successively passed through the streets and alleys to Fengzhao's county king's mansion, Fengzhao went straight into the door and walked through the courtyard to the back residence, and Yueming still followed behind and did not feel angry or uncomfortable because of Fengzhao's coldness, these two people accompanied each other all the way from Baoxiang Temple to Yanlong Wangfu, and the relationship is no longer comparable to ordinary people, so Fengzhao understands Yueming's character, and Yueming also knows Fengzhao's temperament. Entering the door, there is a maid serving water and tea, Yueming stands in the house and silently looks at the house, the atmosphere of the house decoration is elegant, a square table near the window is simple and elegant, the table is full of books and paintings, a Bogu frame separates the house from it, the ornaments on it are not very many, but all of them are of the highest quality, there is an extremely spacious soft couch in the depths of the house, covered with a high-quality brocade quilt. There is a delicate reclining chair next to the soft couch, walk to the table and look through the window, there is a huge kapok tree in the courtyard, there is a stone table and stone bench under the tree, and a lot of bluegrass is planted in the yard on one side.

"Say, what's the matter with me? Don't tell me that I'm here to play chess. Feng Zhao was already lying on the recliner and squinted his eyes.

Yueming didn't reply, he picked up a brush from the pen holder and took a piece of rice paper, picked up the pen and drew it, the wind shone behind him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his dark eyes, but then he regained his calm, and then squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep, and after a while, he heard shallow footsteps coming towards him, he didn't open his eyes immediately, he didn't want to see Yueming's face with little soup and little water.

After a pause in front of him, he heard Yueming say to himself: "Should I hurry to enjoy the plum blossoms, or should I hurry to enjoy the chrysanthemums?"

Fengzhao's eyes suddenly opened, and his dark and clear eyes condensed a trace of depth. He looked at the moonlight, and saw that the expressionless man was holding a painting in his hand and pretending to look at it, and through the back of the paper, the wind could see that it was a plum blossom in the snow. The painting is excellent, Yueming has been learning a good painting with Huiying Zen Master since childhood, especially good at music. After a pause, Yueming turned around and walked towards the desk again, came to the desk and put down the painting in his hand, raised his eyes to look out the window and said: "I heard that the imperial capital of the Great Dragon Dynasty is rich in plum blossoms and chrysanthemums, I want to rush to enjoy the chrysanthemums and plum blossoms, I wonder if you are willing to go with me?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the wind on the recliner, and there was a faint light between his eyebrows. And the dark eyes of the wind also looked at the moon deeply, and the two looked at each other and smiled for a long time. "When are you going to leave?" it was Feng Zhao who asked, he had already stood up from the recliner and walked towards the moonlight, "I will enter the palace tomorrow to tell my father, and I will leave the day after tomorrow." The sooner the better. Or," Yueming paused for a moment and then said, "I'll miss the chrysanthemum viewing." After speaking, his face returned to a expressionless appearance. Looking at the expressionless Yueming Fengzhao, he said: "Okay, I'll prepare, if I take the official road in less than two months, I can get to the imperial capital." Feng Zhao remembered that when he fled, he walked all the mountain roads in order to avoid being chased and killed, so he fled for two months.

On the second day, the two came to the monarch's mansion to meet Chang Ruojin, who was reviewing the recital with the political hall, listening to Yueming and Fengzhao say that they were going to the imperial capital, they were slightly flustered, and then put down the recital in their hands and looked at Fengzhao with deep eyes, and did not speak for a long time. The two waited quietly, Feng Zhao knew in his heart that Chang Ruojin was worried about himself, afraid that he would make a mistake this time, and finally Chang Ruojin broke the silence and said gently: "You two are not young, you should also go out for a trip, especially Ning'er, you have to be more careful." Since Fengzhao replaced the fourth prince, Chang Ruojin has always called Fengzhao "Ning'er", and when he heard this, he understood in his heart, he saluted Chang Ruojin and said, "Ning'er knows that he will not do anything out of the ordinary." Chang Ruojin nodded, and the two of them were speechless, and then withdrew from the Hezheng Palace.

Back in the house, Feng Zhao briefly wrote a few words to Limeng, informing him that he would go to the imperial capital in person in the near future, ordering Limeng to continue to inquire about his father and princess, and then tied the white dove's legs and let it fly away, and called Yan Di to ask him to send a letter to Jing You.

This day, Yueming's car came to Fengzhao's county king's mansion, this trip, the two of them chose to travel by carriage in order to seek stability, because the two had a small dispute, Yueming asked Fengzhao to take his car, and Fengzhao asked Yueming to take his own car, and finally Yueming gave in, decided to do Fengzhao's carriage travel, needless to say that it was Yan Di, looking at Yan Di, who was resolute and heroic, Yueming couldn't help but say to Fengzhao: "With this person to catch the car, how can you and I be peaceful." Feng Zhao squinted at Yueming and got into the car proudly, Yueming followed closely, and after the two of them sat down, Yan Di flicked the horsewhip, and the three BMWs started at the same time and ran out a few miles away.

In less than three days, the two arrived at Yincheng, the junction city of Yanlong and the Great Dragon Dynasty, and stayed in Yincheng for one night, and set off early on the second day.

A month later, one day in Shenshi, a carriage passed by the Xuanwang Mansion on the edge of Dijing East Street, the driver pressed the hat on his head very low, no one could see his appearance, at this time it was late autumn in Dijing, the weather was bleak and cold, the pedestrians on the side of the road walked separately, no one noticed that the curtain on the carriage window was lifted a crack, through that gap there was a pair of deep and depressed eyes, staring at the plaque on the gate of the Xuanwang Mansion without blinking, with wisps of sadness and coldness in the bottom of the eyes.

The carriage moved extremely slowly. In the past, the antique Xuanwang Mansion had long been empty, and the trees inside could be vaguely seen through the tall courtyard wall, and a firm voice came out of the car for a long time: "Go to the world" The originally slow carriage ran up. The effort to turn his head was gone. "Hui Tianxia" is the most luxurious restaurant in the capital of the Great Dragon Dynasty, and the location is the most prosperous area of the imperial capital that must be passed by business travelers, and the reception is the royal relatives and giants. It is said that Hui Tianxia is an old store that has been in business for hundreds of years, but in this generation of owners only because of the birth of a gambling son, overnight to run such a large scale of old shops, lost to a little-known young businessman, the original owner because there is no place to go still stay in Hui Tianxia to help manage.

On this day, a carriage came to the gate of Huitianxia, and it took a long time for the carriage to stop before two brocade boys wearing hats got off the car, and these two were Fengzhao and Yueming. The two of them stopped at the door of the restaurant for a while, and then stepped into the door of the restaurant one after the other, there were more than a dozen square tables in the hall on the first floor of the world, each table was full of people, one person drank alone, there were five or six people guessing the boxing and drinking, and when the two entered the door, the hall that was originally very lively was quiet for a moment, and all the people turned their eyes to the two of them, those who were still guessing the boxing and shouting wine, all the expressions on their faces like clay sculptures all stopped at the moment of stopping. At this time, the wind will carry the hat pressed very low, covering half of his face, only slightly revealing the cold arrogance at the corner of his mouth, a dark green and dark gold-edged wide-sleeved dress will set off him extremely noble and domineering, the moon behind him also pressed the hat very low, the same only exposed the corner of the mouth a touch of elegance, a pure white brocade dress elegant and soft set off his quiet elegance and glory, after entering the door, the wind and moon light did not stay as if no one was walking towards the stairs in the hall, he naturally exuded a domineering atmosphere, so that all the people in the hall stopped breathing, and the moon still exuded a gentle and elegant atmosphere, but like the moon in the long night, it is cold and people dare not approach.

The whole hall can be heard quietly falling and hair, Fengzhao and Yueming walked upstairs, and at this time there were two women upstairs stepping downstairs, one of them was a taller woman, with a hat around the veil on her head, wearing a brocade dress embroidered with a large dark blue peony pattern on a white background, although the whole color was elegant, but extremely atmospheric and gorgeous, the other was the dress of a maid, just when they walked to the middle of the stairs and saw the wind shining in the moonlight, the woman with the veil couldn't help but stop going downstairs, the wind shining in the moonlight continued to walk upstairs, passing by with the woman, The aura emanating from Fengzhao's body raised a gap in the veil on the woman's face, faintly revealing a very beautiful face, but Fengzhao and Yueming passed by like that, and no one paid attention to the woman next to her.

On the second floor in the innermost of a private room, a young man flashed out, bowed his head slightly, respectfully greeted the two, entered the elegant room and saw a person standing at the door, this person is Limeng, after the door of the elegant room was closed, Fengzhao Yueming and the two took off the hat, sat on the chair next to the central round table, Limeng and the young man stepped forward to give Fengzhao and Yueming a salute, Fengzhao signaled to be exempt, and then asked about the origin of the restaurant and the situation of the operation signaled to Limeng and the two to go down.

It turned out that Limeng was a gambler when he learned that the son of the original owner of the world was a gambler, so he set up a game by the young dead man next to him to gamble with him, so he won the restaurant overnight. After the two of them went out, Fengzhao stood up and carefully looked at this luxurious and luxurious elegant room, Yueming also got up and walked to the window facing the street, looking down, it was late autumn and Shenshi, and the stalls and jugglers on the street began to close their stalls, and a few dry yellow leaves hung on a few big trees on the side of the road, and the cold chill of late autumn seeped in through the windows, and Yueming said slightly: "This is autumn." After hearing this, Fengzhao next to him remembered that his mother also loved the autumn of this imperial capital very much.

He remembered that when his father took him into the palace when he was a child, he always had to pass by this restaurant, but he didn't expect that the owner of this restaurant was now himself. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull out a wry smile. At this time, the young boy came up with the dishes one after another, put them lightly on the table and retreated, Yueming looked at Fengzhao and said lightly: "If you keep being so sentimental, I will starve to death," Hearing Yueming's words, Fengzhao put away his sentimental mood and sat down at the table, now it is no longer the time to be sentimental, he thinks that he will eventually find his parents by working hard.
