When Gao Changjun returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gao Huan and Sima Ziru had already drunk for a while, and they were half-drunk and half-awake.

Gao Huan caught a glimpse of her daughter having walked to the door of the room, and immediately got up with a few cases in her hands, and staggered to her daughter. Gao Changjun frowned and stopped, Ruoyun who followed behind her retreated with the palace maid who came with her, and Sima Ziru also quickly got up and bowed to the queen who was sinking like water and didn't say a word.

"It must have been your grandmother who called you back, it's really a lot of things." Gao Huan said angrily.

"My lord blames my younger brother for the sake of a Zheng family, so I naturally want to come back and take care of this matter." Gao Changjun took out the identity of the queen and said lightly.

Sima Ziru was extremely smart and hurriedly persuaded, "The queen doesn't need to worry, I have already persuaded the prime minister." You don't need to mention it again, right? ”

Gao Huan was just persuaded, Mrs. Lou and Gao Cheng had just gone back, and here Gao Changjun was protecting his younger brother's heart, and he was already in a uproar, so it was better not to add fuel to the fire.

Gao Changjun didn't speak again and calmed down.

"How is Yuan Xiu Shaft doing?" Gao Huan asked unceremoniously.

Gao Changjun was so angry that his face turned blue. She knew too well that her father was actually a very scheming person, but he was delicate and clear on the outside, and he was polite and virtuous in front of people, and only in front of people who were extremely close and knew each other very well could he expose such a rude and arrogant side. But in any case, Yuan Xiu is still the Emperor of Great Wei, and she is also her husband, and her father is not only rude, but also disrespectful to his daughter.

"The Supreme is very good, and there is no need for a father to work so hard when he has a daughter in the palace." Although Gao Changjun was extremely dissatisfied, he still loved his father after all, so he answered patiently.

"What's good?" Gao Huan was drunk, and asked rhetorically, "My daughter replied to me like this, doesn't Yuan Xiu have any rebellious heart at all?" ”

"Tell me, my lord, what is rebellion? Against whom? Betray whom? The daughter's husband is the supreme in the world, and he wants to turn against himself? Betraying yourself? Or did the father mean something else? lest the Lord not be of the same mind as you? Are you of the same mind as the Lord? The Lord is naturally dedicated to the Great Wei Sheji, so please ask the adults if they are also for the Great Wei Sheji in their hearts? If this is the same thing, the daughter will be in the middle, so that the Lord and the adult will finally become one. If the adult is plotting to change the surname of the society, please forgive the daughter for being poor and unable to help the adult. It's just that the daughter also wants to persuade the adults that if she wants to go, she will fix it; If you want to take it, you will give it; If you want to destroy it, you must first learn it. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial for adults to lose both. The daughter of the big things in the palace naturally pays attention to, and if there are some small things, please ask the adults to save some face for the Supreme, and there is no need to be too harsh. ”

Gao Changjun was angry at first, but his tone gradually calmed down as he spoke. Sima Ziru could also hear that the queen thought deeply about her father, and she was mature and not stingy. Gao Changjun has already made it very clear that if the monarch and the minister are single-minded, they will naturally mediate in the middle. Even if Gao Huan has different intentions, he persuaded his father to give first and then take, which is very clear and smart.

Who knew that Gao Huan was quite narrow today, and his evil spirit was soaring. I also knew in my heart that my daughter was for her own good, but it didn't go well. The sons and daughters of the reunion today are all disobedient to their father's wishes, and the anger that has just been persuaded by Sima Ziru rushed up again, and said angrily, "It's all the children of the Lou clan who taught to be so disobedient to their father." ”

Accusing her mother in front of her daughter, Gao Changjun was so angry that he choked for a while.

Sima Ziru hurriedly pulled Gao Huan and persuaded, "The prime minister is angry, the prime minister is angry." As he spoke, he signaled to Gao Changjun to avoid, but Gao Changjun didn't say anything more and turned to leave. I wanted to go to see my mother and younger brother, but I was afraid of making my mother sad, so I went back to the palace.

Mrs. Lou was persuaded by Sima Ziru to go back to the courtyard where she lived. I was angry and hateful in my heart, how could my angry son do such a reckless thing for Meng Lang, and he hated that the Zheng family dared to use his father's concubine as a concubine. Fortunately, Sima Ziru and Gao Huan have been old friends for many years, and their eloquence is outstanding, so they covered up this matter. Thinking that I married him when I was Gao Huan and poor, I was married to him, but now I am not as good as a favorite concubine Zheng Dache. Not even a single respect is gone. Now that he has met Er Zhu Ying'e's concubine, Gao Huan still wants to call himself a "lower official" to show his humility. She knelt down and cried like this, but she couldn't move Gao Huan anymore. Mrs. Lou suddenly understood that the only thing she could rely on in the future was her son.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the slave and maid outside come in and say, "Madam, the prince is kneeling in the courtyard and begging to see Madame." ”

Mrs. Lou had just figured it out, and when she heard this report, she immediately subconsciously stood up and ordered: "Quickly help the prince up and let him in." What's more, in her heart, even if her son had an affair with Zheng Dache, it was not a big sin. According to the customs of the Xianbei people, Gao Cheng is the eldest son, and the son who has been set will inherit his father's inheritance in the future, and it is only a matter of time before the Zheng family returns to Gao Cheng.

Immediately, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and Gao Cheng had already entered. The hair is still scattered, and the smooth black silk is scattered on the back of the shoulders. The dark blue on his face was also hidden by the hair that was draped over his face. The garment that had been broken by his father's stick was not changed. When he entered the house, he slowed down and moved to Madame Lou.

Mrs. Lou looked at her son, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. When I knelt down and begged Gao Huan just now, I was just anxious, but I wasn't so sad. Just after the momentary insight just now, it was suddenly like a thousand arrows piercing the heart. So he cried out loud and stepped forward to take Gao Cheng in his arms.

Gao Cheng was indeed bold and reckless, but after all, he was young and simple. It's just that he was fresh and curious, and he was attracted by the Zheng family for a while, and he didn't take this seriously in his heart, so he dared to have an affair with Zheng Dache. But I didn't think about the consequences of the incident. On the way over just now, I also heard the house slave say that the queen and Dacheng were arguing. Unexpectedly, his whim involved his mother and eldest sister. The eldest sister has returned to the palace in anger, and his mother is a strong-hearted person, but at this time, she cried so much, and he was indescribably resentful in his heart. But who should you really hate when it comes to it? It seems that he is still young and has no foundation. If he has the power of the world like his father one day, even if he kills the Son of Heaven, who would dare to openly oppose it? In the excitement, the pride in my heart suddenly rose.

Gao Cheng put his arms around his mother's shoulders, as if supporting something for his mother, and persuaded: "Mother ......"

"Anu ......," Madame Lou interrupted. Stopping his crying, he gently brushed the hair on Gao Cheng's face with his hand, rubbed his bruised face very lightly with his fingers, and said very resolutely, "There is no need to mention today's matter." You don't have to explain it to me, you don't have to comfort me. ”

Gao Cheng turned his face to the side to avoid his mother's gaze, he burst into tears, and his nose rattled. I didn't want my mother to see the wounds on my face, nor did I want my mother to see my tears. The hatred in his eyes was gone.

"Grievance, huh?" Mrs. Lou sighed.

"I'm not wronged, I did it." Gao Cheng turned around again and looked at Mrs. Lou head-on. "I just feel ashamed of my mother." If it weren't for the revelation of the matter, how could Mrs. Lou kneel and beg like that in order to intercede with him? "If I am the prime minister, who dares to disrespect my mother? It was my mother who was wronged, and I will definitely ask for it for my mother. Gao Cheng's eyes were resolute, and even Mrs. Lou was secretly shaken, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

"No!" Mrs. Lou caressed her son's arms with both hands, and her eyes were as resolute as gold. "Ah Hui, I have not been wronged, I am a Xianbei woman, and Xianbei women will protect their sons. Don't hold a grudge against the Zheng family anymore, and don't have any resentment against your father in your heart. You can't be so narrow-minded, you have to have the world in mind, don't be held accountable. Mrs. Lou said as she rubbed her son's arms, her eyes full of anticipation.

Gao Cheng looked at his mother seriously, suddenly raised his face, and his nose "said" a few times.

"I'm here to say goodbye to my mother." He spoke amazingly.

"Resignation? Where to go? Mrs. Lou asked urgently.

"I heard that the Southern Liang is prosperous, the peace has been long, the emperor is a good Buddha, and I want to travel to Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Liang." Gao Cheng has regained his composure. "Not to mention Nanliang, only the Great Wei is also surging. It is said that the great power leans towards the government and the opposition, but in fact, it only goes to Guanzhong, and Daxing Taihe Bayue is also ambitious. Adults can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but can't the Horbats? ”

Mrs. Lou was speechless. She was extremely comforted by such great thoughts. At this time, it is also good to be more distant between father and son. After all, if he is not in front of him for a long time, the father must miss his son.

only commanded, "Let Weilie General Chen Yuankang go with you." ”

"No, Chen Yuankang is a big camera, don't make a mistake because of me." Gao Cheng has his own ideas, Chen Yuankang is his friend, and he is also a person who participates in government affairs and confidentiality, so it is not appropriate to leave for too long. "The family of poetry and rites of the Cui clan in Boling, the land of ritual music and poetry in the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to bring Cui Jishu."

Gao Changjun has never carefully tasted the lonely dusk of the Jiaofang Palace. 3

In the evening, it suddenly began to rain. It's a cold and rainy night, and it's on such a reunion festival. Although there are many people around, there are enough people in the Jiaofang Palace, and it is so unreal through layers of veils. Who is the one who can really reunite with her? I was in a hurry just now, and when I came back, I regretted that I didn't go to see my mother and brother. At this moment, I realized that I had left home and entered this cold palace.

"Prepare the horses! Bring me my bow and arrows!! Gao Changjun got up and threw the comb in his hand on the dressing table, and the comb was folded in two.

"Your Highness...... "It was Ruoyun who came in, and it seemed that he wanted to persuade.

"Go!" Gao Changjun returned to the appearance of the Xianbei girl when she was not married. Ruoyun didn't dare to disobey her.

Following Gao Changjun out of the Jiaofang Palace, Ruoyun slowed down and turned around to give a few orders to a little palace maid. The little palace maid nodded and ran away.

The rain was getting lighter, but it was sewn into the air like a silver needle. This large area of garden behind the palace is dense and deep, and when the sky is about to dark, it is accompanied by a bleak wind, and it is indescribably sad.

Gao Changjun looked at a row of arrow targets set up in the distance, pulled out an arrow from the quiver and clenched it horizontally in front of his lips with his teeth, freed his hand to kick his skirt and get on the horse, and galloped like a horse when he shook the reins. She wore only a thin dress, all of which were pale purple. The horse ran fast, the skirt was like a curl, Gao Changjun sat steadily, and deftly took off the horn bow on his back.

There is almost no need to aim, and each arrow shot one after another with the feeling of the hand hits the bull's-eye. This is the real Gao Changjun, she shouldn't have lived in the complicated etiquette of the Great Wei court. In an instant, he was arrogant and wanted to live freely, he didn't have to care about the imperial power and balance of power, and he didn't have to care about the family of the Great Wei Yuan clan. The drizzle soaked my whole body little by little, but my heart was dripping with joy.

Just as he was about to ride his horse and turn around and order someone to bring another pot of arrows, when he turned back, he suddenly saw a man in black horse and white clothes galloping towards him. The horse runs fast and steady, and the rider on the horse controls it freely, so he must be a seasoned rider, which Gao Changjun can see at a glance. When the night is covered by dark clouds, the white clothes stand out. From far to near, Gao Changjun was suddenly surprised to find that it was Emperor Yuan Xiu.

When his horse galloped closer, he saw more clearly that Yuan Xiu's head and face were wet, obviously longer than she had been in the rain.

"Queen, please come back quickly!" Yuan Xiu stayed on the horse and drank. The horse spun restlessly in place, and he controlled it with great ease, ease, and effectiveness. The appearance of his horseback is extremely heroic, showing his original uninhibited nature. He wasn't supposed to be an emperor.

Since Gao Changjun entered the palace, he has always seen Yuan Xiu dressed in black, hiding countless gloom and helplessness. "Why did the Lord bother so much for me?" Gao Changjun seemed to be deliberately angry, but also seemed to be unwilling to appreciate it, and her tone was full of disbelief. It was true that she had no reason to believe that he would be worried about her, and came here. The white-clothed Yuan Xiu is out of the dust, more real and true. It turns out that he is like this. But she is just the Empress of Great Wei, not his real wife, they are not the real husband and wife in the world.

Yuan Xiu stopped talking, stepped forward a few steps, pulled the reins of Gao Changjun's horse, and said loudly without refutation: "You go back with Gu." ”

The domineering Yuan Xiu, Gao Changjun has never seen it. Suddenly, in my heart, I remembered that the palace maids privately discussed the matter of Emperor Yuan Xiu and Yuan Mingyue, the princess of the plains. The splitter snatched the reins of the horse, and said loudly: "The Lord is going away, why do you care about me?" ”

Yuan Xiu jumped onto Gao Changjun's horse, and pulled the reins of the horse with both hands like an iron fist, driving the horse to move in the direction of his heart. Gao Changjun was tightly locked in his arms, and she struggled desperately. He was so powerful that he easily controlled her.

Yuan Xiu suddenly braked, and the horse stopped. Gao Changjun felt the warmth of the person behind her in the bleak wind and cold rain. A warm breath came from his ears, and his lips almost touched hers. "Lone and you are husband and wife."

Gao Changjun quieted down.

Soon returned to the Jiaofang Palace. Yuan Xiu jumped off the horse and hugged Gao Changjun from the horse. Regardless of whether there was a palace maid or eunuch behind him, he strode into the Jiaofang Hall before putting Gao Changjun down. Both looked at each other breathlessly. Gao Changjun's eyes were like fire, and he glared at him with anger. Such an unruly person is the real Gao Changjun, a Gao Changjun that Yuan Xiu has never seen. Yuan Xiu looked at her and suddenly smiled, the smile seemed to overflow from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't stop it.

Yuan Xiu knew that he had suppressed it for too long, and he wanted to indulge it.

Daylight is getting brighter and brighter. The two palace maids outside the Jiaofang Hall were whispering. Ruoyun walked out and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, the Lord and His Highness are still asleep." ”

"Just now, the slave maid from the Plains Princess's Mansion came to the palace to deliver news, saying that Her Royal Highness the Princess has urgent matters waiting for the Lord to summon her." The little palace maid said timidly with her head down.

"Plains Princess Mansion?" Ruoyun meditated in his heart, but didn't say anything.

It seemed that there had never been such a bright morning in the Jiaofang Palace. Yuan Xiu was only wearing a middle coat, sitting on the side of the bed with his hair scattered, looking at Gao Changjun who was still asleep. Feeling like never before. It's not the love for Yuan Mingyue, it's the same soul meeting after going through a thousand hardships and dangers. He and Gao Changjun are both equally arrogant and untamed, and they have real similarities.

It turned out that she had the same difficulties in her heart as him, and there were also people she cared about and wanted to protect. When she cried bitterly in his arms last night, it was as if he himself was venting the same entanglement and sadness in his heart.

Gao Changjun finally opened his eyes, and in a hazy way, he saw Yuan Xiu sitting on the edge of the couch. He had a slight smile, she had never seen him smile before. Yuan Xiu held his cheek with one hand, neither like the Son of Heaven nor melancholy, he was just a young man who had not been crowned for a long time. He had just found a little warm solace in this strange and cold Wei Palace. He knew she was awake, and he couldn't stop looking at her and laughing, and kept watching.

Gao Changjun sat up, and the two of them looked at each other intently. She couldn't laugh because she wasn't a responsible person. Tears oozed from my eyes, tears that I couldn't stop. She doesn't cry, she doesn't cry alone, but she can't stop crying, she can't control it.

Yuan Xiu was still laughing, and he suddenly stretched out his arms quickly and hugged Gao Changjun into his arms. Gao Changjun slammed into his arms, and her arms immediately wrapped tightly around Yuan Xiu's waist, she lowered her head and bit Yuan Xiu's right shoulder, biting down hard, she hated it so much. She didn't hate him, but everything was because of him.

He could feel the tension in Yuan Xiu's body, and he endured it silently without saying a word.

Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua sat quietly on the side with a pair of big eyes. She watched as the maids served Gao Cheng with her clothes, her face cleaned, and her hair combed. Today he is completely dressed in Han costume, if it weren't for a pair of really special green eyes, he really looks like the son of an elegant Han family. He's so beautiful. Yuan Zhonghua's heart was obsessed again and again.

Gao Cheng was ready, and was about to send someone to ask if Cui Jishu was here, when he suddenly saw Yuan Zhonghua staring at him in a daze. Thinking that I don't know when I will come back, I should also tell her. So he simply turned around and sat firmly in his chair and called, "Anu, come here." ”

Yuan Zhonghua immediately walked down obediently and walked up to Gao Cheng and looked at him.

"I have gone today, and I do not know when I will return. I will tell you to serve you well. If there is something to do, he will order Ah Jiao to report to his mother. Gao Cheng said while thinking that Yuan Zhonghua was young, and with the identity of the princess of the clan, there would be no big deals, so he didn't care about it.

"Let's go?" Yuan Zhonghua was a little surprised. But then he said, "I know. Husband, go ahead. I have my own brother Ah Jin to play with me. ”

"Ah Jin?" Gao Cheng frowned, obviously unhappy.

He pulled Yuan Zhonghua and hugged her on his lap and said angrily: "Don't play with him." ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhonghua was not afraid of him at all, and asked loudly, "Why not?" ”

Gao Cheng turned the stubborn little girl over and lay on his lap, then slapped her on her little buttocks, and then lifted her up and asked her to sit on his lap again.

Yuan Zhonghua didn't shout or scream, his face was flushed and he looked at Gao Cheng with tears in his eyes.

Seeing the grievances and fears in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, Gao Cheng's heart softened.

"In the future, you will be the master, he will be the house slave, because you are my concubine." He told her with the utmost certainty.

It has been a long time since Yong'an Temple returned to calm. The incense in the temple is flourishing day by day. Ordinary people only think of the Pure Land of Buddhism here, who knows when the two emperors under the Yong'an Pagoda are dead.

Walking a short distance outside the temple, there is a clear Tallinn in the ancient pine forest. It is a sparsely populated place, and it is a rare quiet place hidden in the bustling city.

Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu dismounted. Gao Cheng asked, "Did you really hear it?" The Plains Princess is here? ”

Cui Jishu didn't dare to disobey but said with a little dissatisfaction, "Why is Childe talking like this?" I didn't know how many times I asked along the way. ”

Gao Cheng turned around and walked towards the pine forest, without looking back, "Wait for me here." ”

Yuan Mingyue was anxious, worried and afraid. Suddenly heard the sound of urgent footsteps, his heart suddenly seemed to fall to the ground, and he tried to look, who knew that he actually saw Gao Cheng striding over, and he was instantly lost, and he was even more anxious and afraid. Didn't understand how he could suddenly appear.

Gao Cheng slowed down, holding the sword under his waist and pacing closer. He was well-dressed, and there was no longer the childishness in his eyes when Yuan Mingyue first saw him. He was so old that he couldn't find the little boy anymore. This made Yuan Mingyue a little surprised.

"How are you?" Yuan Mingyue involuntarily looked behind him. A chill suddenly rose in her heart.

"And who are you waiting for?" Gao Cheng asked confidently. As he spoke, he took a few more steps.

"I ......" Yuan Mingyue didn't know how to answer. Feeling the pressure from close range, he turned around and wanted to escape.

Gao Cheng quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her back, he had a lot of strength.

Yuan Mingyue suddenly saw the wound on his face, and blurted out, "Your face?" ”

Gao Cheng felt strange in his heart, it seemed that even his heartbeat was much faster, his eyes were blazing and he looked directly at Yuan Mingyue, and replied for a long time, "It doesn't matter." "He's soft-spoken.

Yuan Mingyue lowered her head and wanted to break free, but she couldn't do it. Hearing his warm voice, I didn't feel strange, and looked up at him again. Gao Cheng not only did not allow her to break free, but hugged her with his arms harder.

"Gao Shi Zhong......" Yuan Mingyue was so anxious that she sweated like rain.

Gao Cheng couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her, blocking her unspoken words.

The horse's hooves were like a torrential rain, and Emperor Yuan Xiu had already ridden into the ancient pine forest.
