"Female officer? Do you think it's that easy? Li Chun chuckled, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at her or laughing at himself, "If you enter the palace and become a female official, those vulgar fans will be enough for you." It's better to enter the palace as a guest, and they will be polite to you. ”

Xiling Yue pursed her lips, obviously unimpressed.

"Don't believe it, there are a lot of dirty things in the palace, I just don't want to care about it." Li Chun narrowed his eyes and looked at the vast night sky in winter, "I like simple women, like pity and autumn girls. ”

The implication is that Guo Guifei is not pure.

Xi Lingyue couldn't help but defend her aunt: "Shengshang's words are biased, as your wife, manage the huge harem, how can you do it without a scheming?" Still not eaten yet? ”

Li Chun chuckled again: "You're right. ”

"This time Ji Meiren's matter, you have to give an explanation to your aunt." She continued to grapple.

Li Chun didn't answer, but said gloomily: "Your aunt is all right, but it's a pity that her surname is Guo." ”

Xilingyue was shocked: "My surname is also Guo." ”

"You're different, you're not like the Guo family." Li Chun turned his head to look at her, "Yue'er, I'm glad you didn't grow up in the Guo family. ”

Xilingyue seemed to understand what he meant, but she didn't seem to understand, she only felt that her eyes were hot.

"If I don't stand up in this life, will you understand me?" Li Chun suddenly stood up and asked her seriously.

At this moment, Xiling Yueming knew that he should stand in the position of the Guo family and persuade the emperor to make Guo Guifei the queen. But for some reason she couldn't open this mouth, she could understand the unspeakable secrets of this emperor's uncle in her heart. He just doesn't want to be forced

The eldest relative was in control, and he didn't want to push the pillow person farther and farther away, and he didn't want the queen's throne to restrict his emotional belonging, so he chose to vacate the back seat.

Although she knew that it was just a political choice for him to marry Guo Guifei back then, she still wanted to ask: "Uncle, after so many years, do you really have no feelings for Aunt Guifei?" ”

Hearing this, the young Son of Heaven was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "I have respected her all my life. ”

It's respect, but it's not love.

But born in the emperor's family, it is not easy to have this respect.

Xilingyue didn't continue to ask, and she couldn't persuade anything. The young and heroic Son of Heaven beside him has been ambitious since he ascended the throne, and he wants to cleanse the decline of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion. She simply didn't bother with that mouth.

"After the New Year, I will choose you out of this case." Li Chun patted her on the shoulder, "You've done enough. ”

"Holy!" Xiling Yue was extremely reluctant and wanted to fight for it again.

Li Chun made a gesture to stop: "If you continue to investigate, you will be very dangerous, spill your blood for the country's loyalty, or leave it to a man to do it." After saying this, he let out a long breath of white air, and a brief haze appeared in front of the two of them, like a fog, as if the future of Datang was unclear.

The young emperor suddenly looked confused, trying to clear the mist, but he reached out and touched the coolness of the stars.

"It's snowing." He slowly raised his head, only to see white snowflakes falling in the sky, from small to large, whirling and flying in the vast night sky.

"It's really snowing!" Xiling Yue also stretched out her hands and felt the first snow of this winter.

"What day is it?" The Son of Heaven can't remember.

Xilingyue didn't remember it, but the inner servant who followed from afar had extremely sharp ears, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, today is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month." ”

"This snow came in time, and there will be no worries about food in Guanzhong next year." Li Chun felt the coolness of his fingertips, and smiled a little in the difficult situation.

"yes, that's good news." Xilingyue looked up at the snow, and there was a coolness on her eyelashes and the tip of her nose.

"Did you know? It rarely snows in Chengdu. She brushed the snow particles off her eyelashes, "Yue'er has lived in Chengdu for 18 years, and she has only seen snow three or four times, and it is very small. ”

"Oh? Then you're not excited? Li Chun smiled, "Girls are very excited to see snow." ”

Xiling Yue smiled but did not speak.

It's not that she's not excited, it's not that she's unhappy, it's just that in the past six months, she has learned to hide her thoughts, control her emotions, and learn to bury some people or things she likes deeply. It's like honey secretly hidden under the pillow when I was a child, and quietly enjoying it alone in the dead of night is the best taste in this world.

On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang'an City fell its second snow of this winter. As far as the eye can see, the city is vast, only the sound of firecrackers from far and near keeps ringing, adding a bit of lively joy to the silver-covered Chang'an City.

Early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, Xilingyue wore newly cut clothes and went to the Guo Clan Ancestral Hall with the eldest princess family for the annual ancestor worship. Originally, the daughter of the Guo family had no right to participate in ancestor worship, and only men and daughters-in-law were eligible, but because Xilingyue had been separated from the family for many years, and she was the county lord of the Holy Qinfeng, this year the clan elders allowed her to participate and officially recognized the elders of the clan.

When I arrived near the ancestral hall, the road was gradually congested, and as far as the eye could see, there were BMW incense cars, and the canopy was gathered. The clansmen stood in front of the ancestral hall to greet each other, men, women and children were all in good spirits and smiling. Only then did Xiling Yue really discover the hugeness of the Guo family.

Guo's origin is from the surname "Ji", with the surname of Fengguo, and the ancestor is the younger brother of King Wen of Zhou, "Uncle Yu", because "Yu" and "Guo" have the same sound, later generations changed their name to "Guo" surname. Uncle Yu is the twenty-seventh grandson of the Yellow Emperor, so the golden statue of the Yellow Emperor is placed in the center of the ancestral hall.

Guo's ancestors were also prominent for a while, but they gradually fell due to the wars of successive dynasties, and they had declined in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tianbao period, Guo Ziyi, a descendant of the Guo family, was born in the martial arts scientific examination, and filled the position of the chief of the left guard because of his ranking, and was promoted to Jiuyuan Taishou after repeated contributions, which made his career.

Until the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, there was no one available in the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven "seized the love" and used Guo Ziyi to serve as the envoy of Shuo Fangjiedu, and ordered him to lead the army to Qin Wang and crusade against An Lushan. Guo Ziyi lived up to the emperor's grace and successively recovered Hebei, Hedong, the capital Chang'an, and Xijing Luoyang, with outstanding feats.

Since then, he has been repeatedly framed by the jealousy of his colleagues, and has been relieved of his military power twice by the Son of Heaven, and he has only the position of acting as the Duke of the country. It was not until the first year of Baoying that Tubo took advantage of the internal turmoil of the Tang Dynasty to attack and arrived in Chang'an, and Daizong re-employed Guo Ziyi and ordered him to gather an army to confront Tubo. Guo Ziyi lived up to the emperor's grace, expelled Tubo, and rode alone into the Huifu peace talks, joining forces with him to fight against Tubo. At this point, Guo Ziyi's prestige reached its peak and became the soul of the Tang Army.
