Li Hong, who walked to the door of Penglai Palace, and Fang Muqing, who was about to enter Penglai Palace, walked face-to-face, and the two stood at the gate of the palace in the cold wind, looking at each other and saying nothing.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Muqing seemed to have suddenly woken up, and then bowed down to Li Hong.

"It's going to snow." Li Hong stretched out his warm palm, felt the cold wind and said.

"Yes." Fang Muqing said lightly, everyone's beautiful demeanor still exists, but there is more mature stability and deep sadness on her body.

"You want him back?"

"Yes."

"If you were me, what would you do?"

“……。” Fang Muqing didn't know how to answer.

"Some things can be regretted forever because someone will always give you the opportunity to correct them, and there are things that you will never regret after you have done them. As a result, sometimes he can afford it, sometimes it takes a lifetime to bear it, sometimes he has to bear it with his life, and in the end he chose the latter, right. ”

"He's changed." After Fang Muqing said three words, he began to be silent again.

She found that the rhetoric she had thought of along the way seemed so pale and powerless when facing Li Hong, in the face of the trauma brought to Li Hong by her husband, and in the face of Li Hong's questioning after the swap.

"I've changed, the world has changed."

"One last chance, you've forgiven him many times before."

"It's too much forgiveness, too many opportunities, and it's all good."

"He's really changed, he's no longer greedy, there's no tiger in his heart, he just wants to live the life of an ordinary person, not exiled to a foreign land, left to fend for himself, this ...... It's cruel and unfair. ”

"Is there fairness in this world?" Li Hong's frozen red hand was slowly withdrawn at this moment, and the scattered snowflakes caught one, but it quickly melted in the palm of his hand: "The opportunity is fair, I gave it to him, and it is fair to want to come back, and I gave it to him, just seize the opportunity." ”

"He has no choice, banished to a foreign land, fighting with those barbarians for power and profit, he can't win, he will...... will die, for the sake of Li Guangshun and Li Guangren when they are still young, let him go back to Chang'an to confine us as husband and wife. Fang Muqing's eyes flashed with tears, and he said in an accentuated tone: "Even if it's for a lifetime." ”

Li Guangshun and Li Guangren, under the leadership of the two palace maids, stood next to the big tree not far from the entrance of the Penglai Palace, with some awe and fear in their eyes, and their little hands tightly tugged at the palace maid's clothes, but they did not dare to come over to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the mother concubine standing at the door of the imperial grandmother.

"Do you know the tree?" Li Hong looked at the withered yellow fallen leaves on the ground, blown in all directions by the cold wind, and asked lightly.

"It's been several years, and when I wasn't married to Li Xian, the queen mother no longer allowed anyone to clean up the fallen leaves of this tree, even if it fell here, no one was allowed to clean it, so she let the fallen leaves spread on the ground." Fang Muqing glanced up at Li Hong, and then smiled gently at Li Guangshun and Li Guangren under the tree.

"I guarantee that the two of them will get the same as the other royal kings, and no one will bully them."

"Does this tree have anything to do with you?" Fang Muqing asked rhetorically.

After watching Li Hong signal to the two palace maids, the two palace maids dared to take Li Guangshun and Li Guangren, hurriedly walked to Li Hong to salute, and then walked into the Penglai Palace.

Fang Muqing's hands seemed much rougher than Bai Chun's, obviously there were too few palace maids and eunuchs, and some things needed to be done by themselves, so the originally white hands began to grow calluses.

When Fang Muqing was stroking Li Guangshun and Li Guangren's heads, Li Hong kept looking at those hands, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.

"Well, it matters."

“……。”

"Back then...... When I was about two or three years old, I found a sapling, so I ran to the court, grabbed the hand of my father, who was going to the court, and then planted this tree at the gate of the palace of the queen mother of Taiji Palace. ”

"Later, it was transplanted here, and it is still thriving under protection."

"Li Xian once planted one next to him, but unfortunately it died in less than half a year, do you know how it died?"

"I don't know."

"He had to water every day, he had to fertilize every day, and he really wanted his tree to overtake mine in the fastest time, so he died, and it's no one else's fault, right?"

"Yes." Fang Muqing understood how the tree died.

"But he said it was because my tree stole his water and took the fertilizer he applied every night, so his tree had no water to drink, and then died of thirst."

"He did it to himself." Fang Muqing's gaze became more and more gloomy.

"Since then, the queen mother no longer lets people clean the leaves dropped by this tree, every year, every year the leaves here will be sprinkled with a thick layer, Li Lingyue used to roll with Li Dan on the spilled leaves, but Li Dan was beaten by the queen mother, but Li Lingyue got away with it."

"The queen mother feels sorry for those leaves." Fang Muqing could imagine that Li Lingyue would definitely point at Li Dan and complain: "He pushed me to roll on the leaves." ”

"The queen mother comforted Li Xian and said, 'Maybe one day when these leaves fall, they will turn into fertilizer and save the tree that was watered and died,' but he didn't believe it." Li Hong sighed, there are several bird's nests on the high branches, and the queen mother does not let people move, this tree, now outside the Penglai Palace, is valued by the queen mother more than anything.

"Is this the origin of Li Ye's name?" Fang Muqing still lowered her head, a leaf under her feet, hanging on the hem of her skirt, it was easy to crush it, but ...... How many people dare to step on the fallen leaves of the tree at the entrance of Penglai Palace?

I'm afraid there is no one yet, except for Ye's parents.

"The queen mother hoped that the leaves that fell from the tree would save the tree, so the tree remained immortal, but the result of her own self-inflicted fault was that perhaps he would be able to live well if he took root in another place. It just so happens that it can be regarded as a kind of branching out, and it doesn't have to be in the royal family, nor does it have to be in Chang'an, or even in Datang to survive smoothly. ”

"The flying dandelions, the other places where the flowers fall with the wind after blooming, are pregnant with new life, blooming with the beauty of the flower family, and spreading a new way of making statements." Fang Muqing obviously knows dandelions very well, and even knows a thing or two about their habits.

"Dandelion has no ambitions, just to live. This is a letter from Li Zhe to me, I have always carried it with me, and I have no chance to give it to you. Therefore, after entering, there is no need to plead with the father and the queen mother. Li Hong's hands were red from the cold, and he had been in the air wrapped in the cold wind, grabbing even a snowflake that could stay for a while, but he had never succeeded.

Looking at Li Hong's red hand and handing over a letter in the form of a chapter, Fang Muqing hesitated for a moment, but still took it with both hands solemnly.

"My hands are red from the cold, and my heart hurts, but sometimes I just can't help it, I can't do it if I don't freeze, it's also to live, right?"

"Thank you, Your Highness...... Mu Qing solved his doubts, and Mu Qing would never mention it again in the future. Fang Muqing bowed, and tears came out of her eyes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used a tree to describe the competitive relationship between him and Li Xian, and he also stretched out his hand to wait for warmth in the cold wind, but he couldn't catch even a snowflake, and his brother was like a brother, but his brother didn't know, so he only gave his brother more cold.

Looking at the tall back leaving, Fang Muqing also knew that he had never said it, leaving Li Guangshun and Li Guangren to go to Anxi to accompany Li Xian's request, obviously His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not agree.

Yeyue sat in the warm Donggong Lizheng Hall, looking at the palace maid strangely with a strange look, and was about to ask her what was wrong, when she suddenly felt like someone had stuffed a piece of ice into the back of her neck, and she jumped up directly from the soft sofa, and the screams came out of her mouth.

"Nasty! You are naïve, not naïve! No, I'm going to have to ice you to get even! Yeyue tugged at Li Hong's clothes, ignoring the fact that her entire delicate body was already glued to Li Hong's body.

Although it is winter now, and everyone's clothes are not as thin as in summer, in the warm spring-like Lizheng Hall, no one will wrap themselves like rice dumplings, because in that case, people will sweat hot after staying for less than a quarter of an hour.

Feeling the warm, soft and delicate body in his arms rubbing against himself, Li Hong freed up one hand to hold Yeyue's two hands: "Are you stupid, your hands are so hot, I won't be cold when I put it in." ”

"Then I don't care, you killed me just now."

"What were you thinking just now, thinking so distractedly? It can't be the one who wants your brother to marry, right? ”

"Nonsense, I don't think about it. Did you figure out a way? Brother Wang sent another letter urging him. Yeyue gave up taking revenge on Li Hong because she felt that one of someone's hands was not in the right place, so she bit down on someone's arm.

"You're all dogs, you all like to bite." Li Hong sucked in the cool air in his mouth and wanted to pull out his hand, but he was bitten by the night moon, and the pain in his heart was not much different from the pain of the princess who bit her chest muscles.

"Say, who else has bitten you? Sister Wanying and Sister Bai never bite, isn't An Xiaohe? Chen Qinghan? She is so gentle and virtuous, how can she bite you? Did you bully her? Yeyue let go of her mouth, pulled Li Hong's arm, looked at the clear tooth marks on her arm, and was very satisfied with her proud work.

"What do you care about so much?" Li Hong withdrew his arm, and the palace maid just wanted to hand over the Jinpa to Li Hong to wipe the saliva off his arm, but was brutally blocked by Yeyue and refused to wipe it.

Li Hong, who was speechless, had no choice but to rub the saliva on Yeyue's chest at will, and when Yeyue found out that this pervert had taken advantage of him again, and wanted to take revenge again, he saw that someone had picked up the piece on the desk and was watching it intently.

"It's over, your brother Wang really doesn't have a long memory, and he still wants to come over and let me beat him, what should I do? To beat or not to beat? ”

"Beat him, dare to force me to marry someone I don't like." A man said casually.
