Sikong Rui's embroidery village is not big, the private house not far from the embroidery village is not small, the backyard bridge is lush and green, even in the middle of summer, it is not sultry. Before she could invite the cook, Xiuxiu simply cooked a table of meals by herself, although they were all home-cooked, but they were also a taste that could not be eaten outside.

In the kitchen, other people's young couples are busy talking and laughing. Outside the kitchen, Chu Yuan and Duan Baiyue sat at the stone table, and they didn't know what to do after drinking an empty pot of tea-according to etiquette, it seemed that they should go to the stove to help the handle, but after thinking about it, the two of them sat back calmly, after all, they couldn't even wash rice.

Chicken soup was boiling on the stove not far away, the aroma was fragrant, Duan Baiyue asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry, I'll go get you a piece of meat to eat first?" ”

Chu Yuan kicked him, and he was not ashamed.

There's nothing to do while sitting...... Duan Baiyue yawned with her cheeks propped up, drowsy.

Chu Yuan looked funny, stretched out his hand and grabbed his cheek and shook it, Duan Baiyue grabbed his wrist and pulled the person into his arms Before he could kiss it, Sikong stepped out of the door with a large plate of cold dishes and a smile on his face.

Duan Baiyue's expression froze, and Chu Yuan pushed the person away and picked up the teacup in disguise.

Sikong Rui said calmly: "I don't know why, I suddenly suffered from an eye disease recently, and I am blind if I say it is good." "For example, Fang Cai, you don't see anything, you can continue.

Duan Baiyue took the dish from his hand and slapped the person back to the kitchen.

The dining room was boring, and everyone simply opened a round table in the courtyard, and the wine was specially brought out of the palace, and it was poured into the cup clear and translucent. The stars twinkled in the sky, the cicadas chirped in the ears, and the red lanterns hung on the trees, picking out a gentle light.

Except for Scarlet Xia, Chu Yuan rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, but today he also made an exception, and when he returned to the palace after the banquet, he didn't want to move, lying in his arms and not speaking, only a pair of peach blossom eyes shone brightly.

"What are you thinking?" Duan Baiyue chuckled and reached out to straighten out his hair.

Chu Yuan wrapped his arms around his shoulders and kissed him gently with his eyes closed.

A year later, Liu Jinde was beheaded in public at Caishikou, so far the Chuxiang rebels were annihilated, and the South China Sea had already returned to its former calm. Merchant ships come and go, full of goods and hopes. The White Elephant Country, the Filipino and Burmese Kingdoms are connected by waterways with the rest of the island countries, and after many caravans go to Sin Chau to replenish fresh water, they will set sail again and continue to sail towards the deep sea, with the rising sun and magnificent waves along the way.

And in the vast East China Sea, the fishermen are also beaming, all say that the Ming King has led the old department to take over the tide cliff, that sea area has long been free of whirlpools and fog, and then think about the ocean in the future, you don't have to make a special detour, you can also go to the island to drink a cup of tea.

In the territory of Dachu, the people have plenty of food and clothing, and their lives are harmonious. The business of the small talk book is booming, from the Shadow Chasing Palace to the Sun Moon Villa, to the Seven Peerless Kingdoms, and the Morning and Dusk Cliffs, you can buy a large stack of stories wherever you want to see. Of course, if you are familiar with the boss, the southwest of Dali City is not nothing, but the price is higher, if you are lucky, you can also add the Bodhicitta Sutra and a handful of Xuanming cold iron, the street king blacksmith hit, good quality, Shen Shen.

After tea and dinner, there will often be a group of people chatting under the tree, saying that not long after the prince returned to the southwest mansion, he came to the royal city again, but it was really love, and it couldn't be separated for a moment - it was a little the road, and the emperor was distressed when he wanted to come, and he would order the imperial dining room to stew a big pot of bird's nest to nourish.

We don't envy at all.

Outside the Tianhe Gate, thousands of troops lined up neatly, and at the front stood proudly a young man in Xuanyi, heroic and radiant, with eyebrows and eyes vaguely similar to the young Chu Yuan, it was Xiao Man back then, and Chu Huaixi, the king of Ning today. The courtiers all around sighed in their hearts, but it was really taught by the king of the southwest, so young he led the army to fight in the east and west, and forced the Bolun Luo to the south all the way to the Western Regions, it is said that even the demon monk's nest was burned into ruins by a fire, and was blown away in the desert by the wind.

Chu Yuan took the crown seal from Liu Dajiong's hand and handed it to him personally.

"Thank you, Father." The young man smiled unruly, and the long sword at his waist reflected a dazzling light.

The next day, in the imperial study.

The prince supported his cheek with one hand and looked at the newly appointed prince in front of him: "Do you really want to punish copying?" ”

Wen Liunian insisted: "If you are a quarter of an hour late, you have to copy it twenty more times." ”

Even if the battle is great, it is not immune.

A fat bug appeared on the table.

Wen Liunian: "......"

Wen Liunian: "......"

Wen Liunian: "......"

So that night, Wen Liunian packed up his baggage in the Prime Minister's Mansion, planning to return to his hometown. To teach a young king of the southwest who looks like the emperor, this kind of thing is exhausting when you think about it, so it is better to resign earlier.

In front of the imperial study, the prince was expected to be punished by his father to kneel, looking at the stars in the sky and pouting.

The stepfather did not help himself to intercede.

Duan Baiyue coughed twice: "Don't plan to let that little ghost get up?" ”

Chu Yuan put down the fold in his hand and said, "Kneel for two hours, I will naturally let him go back." ”

"An hour has come." Duan Baiyue pinched his shoulder for him, "It's just an aconitum worm, and it's not poisonous, I often threw it into the master's cup back then." ”

"I'm embarrassed to say." Chu Yuan pinched his ears, "You taught it, if you scare Wen Aiqing out of the way, you will go to the cold palace with that tree to stay!" ”

Duan Baiyue smiled calmly and took his hand down: "Okay, okay, you continue to look at the excerpts, let that little ghost continue to kneel, I don't care, two hours is too short, why don't you kneel for one night?" ”

Chu Huaixi heard it outside, twitching the corners of his mouth and looking at the sky.

Spring goes to summer, autumn flows, and in countless nights of warmth or longing, time also flows away inch by inch. In the scorching summer, it was extremely cool in the northbound palace, a flat boat was moored on the lake, Chu Yuan leaned on Duan Baiyue's arms, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance, and laughing.

"Do you remember the first time we were here?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan nodded, sat up and looked at him, still familiar with the Ying Straight eyebrows, as if they had never changed, remembering the lingering and separation in the Beixing Palace, but in a trance, he felt that there were already thousands of rivers and mountains.

"Got it figured?" Duan Baiyue pinched his chin.

Chu Yuan nodded: "Hmm." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Reluctant? ”

"Why not?" Chu Yuan held his hand, "I said a long time ago, this country is my responsibility, and you are my concern." "The bottom of my eyes is clear and smart, just like back then.

After March, a piece of news shocked the whole country, the son of heaven Chu Yuan abdicated, and the crown prince Chu Huaixi ascended the throne as the emperor and changed the name of the country to Tianhe.

The new emperor ascended the throne, the world celebrated, even the stall business selling jujube cakes was much better, the stall owners were too busy to take a break, the freshly cooked pastries were steaming with lotus leaves, and the aroma could spread throughout the street. Not to mention ordinary people, even dignitaries and heroes like to eat - for example, this white-clothed guest came to knock on the door before dawn, and he wanted to buy a piece of cake alive or dead, saying that he wanted to buy it back to coax his daughter-in-law.

"Quarreled, didn't you?" The stall owner asked as he lit a fire.

Duan Baiyue propped her head: "Hmm." "The beauty of the long night is in the arms, and it is inevitable that you can't help it, human nature.

The stall owner imparted his experience: "Don't be afraid when you are angry, say more sweet words, buy a beautiful flower jacket, and bring some snacks if you are hungry, just coax it." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded, deeply convinced.

After returning to the inn, before Chu Yuan woke up, Duan Baiyue squatted beside the bed and put the fragrant jujube cake in front of his nose.

……

"Take a bite." Duan Baiyue coaxed, "Don't be angry after eating." ”

Chu Yuan turned to face the wall.

"When I went to buy jujube cakes, even the stall owner guessed that he was trying to coax his daughter-in-law." Duan Baiyue leaned beside him, "He seems to be very experienced, and said that if the dim sum is not good, let me go to the street to buy a flower cotton jacket, don't be reluctant to silver, I want to buy red silk embroidered gold peony, make sure you like it." ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

"Do you want to buy it?" Duan Baiyue hugged him from behind and rubbed his chin, "Get up when you're not angry, and say that you want to go to see the sunrise, otherwise it's too late." ”

Chu Yuan kicked him through the quilt, and there was a smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

In winter, it is cold, and there are many fewer people in the mountains, which is quite quiet. There was a steep cliff in the back mountain, Duan Baiyue dragged his waist with one hand, jumped up, and swept over the withered vines and stone walls on his toes like walking on the ground, and he reached the top of the mountain in a moment. From a distance, a round of morning sun erupted, dispelling the mist and white fog in the mountains.

"Is it cold?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan shook his head and leaned back lazily in his arms, the four fields were silent, and the clouds were shining brightly. Every city, every mountain, every river, every tree and every flower that they passed along the way were once the rivers and mountains that the two of them guarded side by side, and after resting the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, they were finally able to join hands with the love of this life to retreat, and from then on they were tranquil and stable, and they saw the world.

A few months later, the two arrived in Dali, the people in the city sang and danced, the southwest mansion was lit up with colorful lanterns, and the Sixi father-in-law, who had arrived first, stood at the door, and said happily: "Your Majesty." ”

"I'm not the emperor now." Chu Yuan smiled and patted his stomach, "Let's go, go and see where you live." ”

Duan Baiyueqi said: "Master actually combed his hair today. ”

Nanmo squatted on the steps, life was worse than death - if he hadn't been forcibly suppressed, who would have combed his hair.

"The little prince wrote a letter back, and it should not arrive until next month." Aunt Jin said, "There will be a delay on the way." ”

A big python hissed and crawled over the eaves, Duan Baiyue raised her hand to knock it down, and said with a headache: "How many times have you said it, hide it." ”

Can't hide it...... Aunt Kim was very embarrassed. This is no better than the previous emperor who came up and hid for three or four days, but now he has to live for a long time, and he can't keep Ah Qing in the tank.

It was August, and the scarlet glow was blooming all over the mountains, Duan Baiyue took his hand to the high place, and inserted a flower between his clothes: "Teach you to make wine tomorrow?" ”

Chu Yuan asked, "Scarlet Xia?" ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Well, your favorite wine." ”

Chu Yuan agreed: "Okay." ”

Duan Baiyue surrounded him from behind: "Do you know, what is the first step in winemaking?" ”

Chu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Buy the jar." ”

"There is a family to buy the jar." Duan Baiyue turned his body around, "Kemi has to wash it by himself." ”

Chu Yuan calmly withdrew his hand: "Then you should brew it yourself." ”

Who is going to wash rice.

Even if you abdicate, you won't wash it.

Duan Baiyue pursed her lips, leaning on him and refusing to get up.

The courtyard where the two lived was large and quiet. Every morning, the sun poured into the window lattice, and when Chu Yuan opened his eyes, a beautiful golden beetle was lying on the head of the bed, holding a grass and nibbling - it was a red envelope given by the master at the wedding.

Chu Yuan lazily stretched out his hand, let it crawl on the back of his hand, and took it to wash.

Duan Baiyue leaned on the head of the bed and was very pleased, according to this trend, in a few months, Xiaoqing should be able to be released from the tank and returned to the beam.

In the royal city, the young emperor put down his hand, picked up the wine cup around him and drank it all, it was a gift just sent by the southwest mansion - it is said to be the wine made by the father and the righteous father, and the taste is long.

"Your Majesty." Xue Huaiyue said, "I heard that some time ago, the fleet of the Southwest Province sailed out of the Guanhai Sea, as if it was going to some island. ”

"Crimson." Chu Huaixi said.

Xue Huaiyue was puzzled: "Your Majesty? ”

"That island is called Scarlet Snow, it is said that the pavilions and waterfalls on the island are ingenious, the strange flowers and plants are beautiful, and it is a fairyland on earth." Chu Huaixi said, "When I was in the southwest before, I often helped my father-in-law make wine, he liked snow and quiet, but the most common wine was Crimson, and every once in a while he would send someone to Wangcheng, and when the wind rose, the streets were full of the smell of wine. ”

Xue Huaiyue glanced at the wine jug on the table.

"This isn't Scarlet." Noticing his gaze, Chu Huaixi laughed and said, "Father-in-law's Scarlet Xia will only be brewed for one person in this life." ”

The South China Sea was turbulent, and Chu Yuan stood on the reef, listening to the wind blowing past his ears.

Duan Baiyue unfolded her cloak and gently wrapped it around his shoulders.

The sunset on the horizon is all over the sky, and it is connected with the blue sea. The waves wash over the white sand, roll up countless sparkling shells, and then carry them back to the deep sea in the next moment, and so on.

Looking far away, the sky is high and the sea is wide, magnificent and boundless. It is an iron-blooded battlefield that once fought side by side, and it is also a peaceful paradise where life will eventually be quiet after prosperity.

The two looked at each other and smiled, held hands and whispered a laugh, and went back to their residence together.

The wind behind him is thousands of miles, the blue waves are thousands of acres, and the fire burns the clouds for half a day.

It is a picturesque country.
