In August of the twenty-sixth year of Yuanyou, Emperor Yuanyou ordered too often to draw up the auspicious day of the zodiac, and during the period, Emperor Yuanyou issued an edict to hold an inner Zen ceremony in the Mingjing Palace, and officially passed on the throne to the princess Yuanying, and the ministers respected Emperor Yuanyou as the Holy Emperor of Shoude, called Emperor Taishang.

The princess first ascended the treasure, changed the Yuan Hongjia, amnesty the world, issued an edict to inform the four seas of the domain, after the princes heard the edict, they were ordered to go to Lin'an to congratulate, the emperor also set off with a group of old ministers to the south, to the Yunzhou Palace, at this time in the county government of Kui County, looking forward to meeting with the six women Yuan Lingjun again.

"Drink some water, my lord, I've been on the road for most of the day." Kunjiao twisted the water bladder and handed it to Yuan Lingjun's hand.

Yuan Ling didn't dare to drink too much, he was prone to sweating, and it was not good to delay the time to make it convenient. After pursing a small sip to moisten her lips, she handed the water bladder back to Kunjiao's hand: "Kunjiao, do you say that Yan Jieyu gave birth to a younger brother or a female brother?" ”

Yan Jieyu's delivery date in August, if there is no accident, it should be safe now. The princess has already inherited the throne in accordance with the law, and whether it is a man or a woman will not hinder her and the Xu family.

"I don't know, little girl." Kunjiao's horse was close behind the jade-topped black horse.

Yuan Lingjun was a little tired, and lifted his wide sleeves to wipe the wetness on his forehead. The mountains are dewed.

Yuan Lingjun shortened the journey of five or six days to three days, she herself must have enough endurance, but also requires all the team members to have the inevitable determination, after three days of running around in the wind and dust of the stars and the moon, the convoy drove into the territory of Kwai County in the evening, most of the time on the road, Yuan Lingjun refused to take the car, she rode on horseback, and the two crotches wore off the skin and did not know.

But everyone also has to stop to eat, after sunset to close their eyes and rest for an hour or two, and hurriedly on the road, along the way, they did not use the prepared tents, occasionally in the narrow mountain and forest paths through the road, because in a hurry, she chose to take the shortcut, but the shortcut is more cramped than she imagined, Yuan Lingjun ordered Zhang Zhongshu to take the honor guard carriage and horse to continue to walk the official road, and he only took the team of people and horses.

Yuan Lingjun thought to himself: It would be good to go to Kwai County, and if you see your father, you will have a good rest for a few days.

The robe on her body was wet, and Yuan Lingjun felt that the breath she exhaled was also slightly damp, and she opened her round eyes, anxiously looking at the mountain road that still had no end in sight, the lush green leaves covered her head, and the miscellaneous grass blades beside the road were dotted with crystal water droplets, crumbling.

The jade-topped black horse carefully explored the mountain path with difficulty around the stones, and several guards led the way in front, constantly swinging their knives to cut through the thorns that wound in the middle of the road.

Yuan Lingjun subconsciously turned her head to look behind her, Qu Yi's silver vermilion robe was particularly conspicuous under the cover of the green plants, she didn't speak, but the vision in front of her finally widened a lot.

Congchen suddenly said in a loud voice: "Look, the lord is in front of Kui County." ”

In August, the county hall of Kui County is full of cinnabar osmanthus, the branches are steep, the fragrance is strong, and the orange-red flowers fall under the eaves and spread all over the ground.

"The Emperor, the young monarch has arrived." There was a call of surprise in the twilight, and then the chamberlain, dressed in dark clothes, trotted to the end of the corridor.

"Shaojun has arrived." Mao Sheng hurried through the pavilion of the promenade, stopped at a dormitory, pushed the door in, and his face was full of joy: "Your Majesty the Emperor xià......"

The little chamberlain helped the Emperor Taishang to sit up from the couch.

"You old fellow is shocked, Hugh is going to be proud, I already know before you." The Emperor glanced at him, blowing his beard. "I just dreamed about it." The Emperor said angrily.

"Oh, the news of His Majesty is indeed much better than that of the villain." Mao Sheng covered his mouth and hid his smile.

Nothing to do, the emperor since the throne, the mood is getting better day by day, and the body is also healthy, Maosheng is naturally happy, he has been with the emperor for most of his life, knowing the emperor's temperament, don't look at the emperor's sometimes appearance like an old child, inexplicably fighting with the minister's inner servants, Maosheng's heart couldn't be more transparent, the emperor is just too lonely.

The hallway was filled with the sound of footsteps.

"Chen Yuanling wants to see the emperor."

The chamberlain pushed open the partition door, and more than a dozen men and women knelt at the door.

"Evil obstacles, what is the emperor, don't hurry up and get in." The emperor's shouts came from inside the house, which startled everyone.

Listen to his voice full of anger, where is the patient should have. "Murder me before we meet." Yuan Lingjun grunted aggrievedly, the corners of his mouth trembled, the flat sleeves just blocked under his eyes, and the two eyeballs rolled around, looking in. She was afraid that her father would jump out of somewhere with a whip and slap her buttocks hard.

Mao Sheng stepped out, arched his sleeves and said: "Shaojun, Changshan Palace, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, let's go inside." ”

Yuan Lingjun tightened his neck in fear, and the memory of the whip came to his heart, and his scalp was numb for a while, and he didn't even have the strength to get up and take a step. At this time, her mood was extremely depressed, just like the death row prisoner was about to go to the court to be executed, which was completely opposite to the impulse of the day and night to come to meet her father as soon as possible. Qu Yi whispered something, and Yuan Lingjun entered the house with a hard head.

"What are you trying to do?"

The emperor sat in front of a screen, dressed in a robe, his hands lightly on his knees, his face was slightly angry, and his eyes were blazing at the six women.

Yuan Lingjun pouted, arched his sleeves, honestly performed a salute, and sat down with Qu Yi on the emperor's left and right hands.

"How many days are you traveling?" The Emperor asked.

"Three whole days." Yuan Ling replied.

"It's nothing, it only took two days to become a father. Have you eaten? ”

"Not ...... yet"

I rushed to see you in a daze, and I didn't even care about my stomach, so you were better to kill me first.

Yuan Lingjun thought about it, but finally couldn't speak. She was surprised to find that her father's sideburns were gray, and countless fine lines extended from the ends of his eyes and disappeared into his sideburns. She couldn't help but want to pull out the silver wire that was an eyesore and throw it into the furnace to burn it clean.

The emperor stretched his eyebrows and gestured to Mao Sheng, who walked out of the room and went outside the door to spread the word and set up the meal, and after a while, the hot meal and soup were served in silverware and presented by the attendants.

"My son, once you go south to Yunzhou, there are not many days for you and my father and daughter to get along, you listen carefully, everything I say must be firmly remembered in my heart, it is very important to you."

Yuan Ling didn't understand. Is the monarch confessing his last words? She was startled by the sudden thought and bit her tongue.

"Wuyi." The emperor ignored her doubts and turned his head to summon Qu Yi. Wuyi is the word for Quyi.

Qu Yi immediately put down the food chopstick: "The minister is here." ”

His eyes always had a refreshing smile like spring water, and his wide sleeves flicked a few times, bringing a gentle breeze.

Regarding the marriage of Yuanqu, Mao Sheng knew the most inside information. The emperor chose Qu Yi because his quiet eyes were like the emperor when he was young, quiet, calm, and hidden infinite wisdom in his career. It's a pity that Yuan Lingjun is young and ignorant, and he doesn't understand the emperor's good intentions in arranging Qu Yi beside her.

What does the monarch have to say? Yuan Lingjun puffed out her cheeks, pricked up her ears, and looked up at her monarch father, and then at her husband. There is a tacit understanding between them that they can't see through.

Emperor Taishang said: "All my princes have passed away, which is equivalent to not giving birth to a son, although you are a young man raised in the deep palace as a sword master, I regard you as my own, and the people in the palace also call you His Royal Highness, now you and Mingyu are married, we are a family, do not have to be bound by the cumbersome and alienated courtesy of the monarch and minister, and she should call me the monarch with her." ”
