Li Chunfeng came out of the Tang Mansion and rode his horse to the west mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, looking back at Chang'an, the afterglow of the setting sun stained the white walls and green tiles, like a burning sea of fire. He was uneasy for no reason, not for himself, but for Tang Ying.

Back in the small courtyard of Xishan, the peach blossoms are fragrant, and the wind is fragrant. He walked slowly into the outer courtyard and saw that Tang Ying had already prepared dinner, and was sitting on a small stool with a sweet face waiting for him to come back. There were a few more plates, and they were a little more plentiful than ever. Her big dark eyes swept around the table, and after reviewing it, she seemed to smile with satisfaction, but soon felt that the chopsticks were not properly placed enough, and hurriedly leaned over and waved her tender white hand.

Li Chunfeng suddenly felt sad. He took off his beard, and took the hoe that stood at the base of the wall, and dug out the jar of wine under the tree. When Tang Ying heard the sound, he had already flown over like a cheerful little pigeon and hugged him tightly.

He tried his best to pretend to be calm, stroked her hair and said, "Why did Ying'er add vegetables today?" Tang Ying pulled him to sit down at the table and said sweetly: "Today is the anniversary of the two years that Master took me up the mountain, we should celebrate it." ”

It turned out that it had been two whole years. Li Chunfeng pulled out the wine cork and said to her, "Go and get Master's green jade wine glass, let's have a good drink today." ”

Tang Ying ran briskly to get the wine glass, "Didn't Master always teach me that ladies should not be greedy for cups?" Why are you so happy today? He couldn't open his mouth with his cup, so he drank it to the end. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, and did not raise her glass, but waited for him to finish drinking and asked, "What's wrong?" Then she thought that he was going back to the Tang Mansion today, and her heart suddenly struck, and she hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with my grandmother?" ”

Kind child...... Li Chunfeng shook his head, took her little hand and kneaded it in his hand, "Don't panic in the shadow." Be...... A happy event. ”

Tang Ying felt that his palms were not as warm as before, so he tentatively asked a most acceptable hypothesis, "Is my mother pregnant again?" He shook his head, his hands clenched tighter. She asked again: "Is my father promoted?" She didn't care about Lord Tang, but she really couldn't think of other possibilities.

The mellow peach blossom wine couldn't cover the sourness in his mouth, and Li Chunfeng pretended to be ordinary and said, "It's not, but Brother Tang wants to send you to the palace!" ”

Tang Ying was stunned. Entering the palace? Could it be that Wu Ze really came to find him? But it was too sudden...... Li Chunfeng thought that the little girl was frightened, so he comforted: "Don't worry, Tian'er, you will have a noble person to take care of you after you go." You just need to observe etiquette and be careful in everything, and you will be safe. As he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter, apparently not believing it himself.

Tang Ying has watched many TV series, so he naturally knows that the harem is not easy to stay, and if he is not careful, he will become an unjust ghost. Unexpectedly, he did everything possible to get in touch with Wu Zetian, but he pushed himself into the tiger's mouth. What did you think about it in the first place...... She recalled how Xing Chong went to find Wu Meiniang two years ago, I am afraid that at that time, she only thought about waiting for the Qianling Tomb to be built and crossed back, and she didn't consider other consequences.

Li Chunfeng definitely didn't expect Tang Ying to think, he just thought it was the child's instinctive fear of the unfamiliar environment, so he continued to say some beautiful things, "When you go to the palace, Ying'er will have good clothes to wear and good things to eat." With your well-behavedness, you will be very happy. It's just ......," he said, raising his hand and slowly stroking her head, "but you have to be extra careful and be careful with what you say and do." If you don't want to live in the palace for the rest of your life, please ask Wu Zhaoyi to let you out of the palace earlier. ”

The implication is that Tang Ying has long been clear. She couldn't hold back her sadness anymore and threw herself into his arms, "Master, I want to be with you!" ”

Li Chunfeng also trembled in his heart, gently raised her chin, and whispered, "How is this possible?" Your father has agreed. I...... There is nothing that can be done. Looking at the sadness and helplessness in his eyes, she sniffed and tried to hold back the tears. After all, the initiator is himself, even if he is unwilling now, he chose it at the beginning, so he has to bear the consequences!

Li Chunfeng looked at her hard work and strength, and his heart was even more sore. The expression in front of her was very similar to the one she had when she went up the mountain with her two years ago. At that time, he couldn't decipher the meaning behind her expression, but today he understood. It's a kind of commitment and patience that shouldn't be seen in children. He didn't know that most of the girls who worked hard in the metropolis like Tang Ying in the 21st century had such basic qualities. He just looked at it with the eyes of a 9-year-old child, full of distress and reluctance.

"Shadow, do you have any other wishes? As long as Master can do it...... "He is honest, there is nothing else he can do." Tang Ying looked up at him, and after a long time, said, "Master, don't cut off contact with Ying'er. ”

“…… What about anything else? ”

"Nothing else. It is...... Don't forget me. Tang Ying still cried, remembering her desire to "be with each other for a lifetime" hidden deep in her heart, from a natural thing to the end of the world, even if she had an adult mentality, it was difficult to hold herself.

Li Chunfeng hugged her tightly again and promised, "Master will never do it." Master swears to do everything possible to protect you and keep you safe. He said that he made up his mind in his heart, and almost regarded this matter as "another great responsibility in his life in addition to that entrusted by Taizong."

After thinking about it, a whistle blew into the air, and soon two shadows, one large and one small, flew and landed beside him. It turned out to be the owl who came with the child. Li Chunfeng said to Xiao'er seriously: "The shadow is going down the mountain tomorrow." Xiao'er tilted her head and shouted at Tang Ying.

He also said: "Shadow Daddy wants to send her to the deep palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to see her in the future, are you willing to follow her into the palace as a messenger?" He has always regarded Xiao'er as a friend, and never used a commanding tone.

Xiao'er flapped her wings and didn't chirp, just looked at Tang Ying with big golden eyes. After a while, it pushed the son behind it forward, as if to say, "I'm not going, but my son can be your messenger." After Tang Ying consulted Li Chunfeng for permission, he stretched out his hand to the little owl. It shrunk its wings, still cowering, but it didn't seem to hate Tang Ying, jumped forward twice with its feet, and finally flapped its wings and landed lightly on her sleeve.

The two stopped talking and silently finished eating the meal that had been cooled. Tang Ying cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Chunfeng cleaned up Tang Ying's things. She didn't have to take her clothes, and she didn't have many daily necessities. zuihou, he looked at "Bai Zetu", and after thinking about it, he still called Tang Ying to his side and said, "You take the scroll." When Master is not around, you should also practice diligently to avoid recurrence of chest pain. Can you write it down? ”

Tang Ying lowered his eyes and pushed the scroll to him: "It's better for the master to keep such a valuable thing." Besides, I wrote down most of it. She hated such a farewell-like scene, thinking that if the scroll was in Li Chunfeng's hand, she could ask him for help in the future.

Hearing her say that she had written it down, Li Chunfeng felt sorry again. Such an apprentice with outstanding talent is afraid that it will be difficult to zaijian in this life.

The lonely String Moon pulls out an eerie smile in the night sky. Tang Ying tossed and turned on the bed, sighing. Li Chunfeng lit the candle, leaned on the side of her bed, took her in his arms and patted her gently. She blinked at him, and he lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips, cheering for her.

At the end, she finally told the secret: "Master, don't worry. I don't really need to go to the gas every day anymore. As long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be safe and sound. ”

I already knew.

He smiled and nodded the tip of her nose, keeping the words in his heart.
