Chapter 48: Candle Tears (26)
The scorching sun of midsummer hung high in the sky, the cicadas attached to the trees chattered lively, and the small pavilion in the courtyard of Zhaoyang Palace leaked on all sides, making Gu Duan shiver from the cold.
He looked at Mu Yi and then at Qi Xuan, and there seemed to be a wonderful atmosphere between the two.
Although Gu Duan was full of questions, he didn't ask very familiarly. The delicate dim sum on the bone plate on the table exuded an alluring aroma, and he cautiously tentatively reached out his hand, trying to take a piece of dim sum to cushion his stomach.
When his hand was only one hand away from the bone saucer, Qi Ying turned his head sharply to look at the hand that was trying to get close to the dim sum saucer. If that line of sight was a knife, Gu Duan felt that his hands had now become two separate parts from himself.
He slowly withdrew his hand the way he came, burying his head, trying to make himself disappear from Qi Xuan's sight.
Suddenly, a hand that did not belong to him landed in his sight with the plate of snacks he coveted. The hand brought him a plate of dim sum, and said softly: "Xiao Qi is hungry, eat some dim sum to cushion his stomach first." ”
In an instant, Gu Duan felt that the threatening gaze just now suddenly changed, and the surging killing intent inside made him feel as if he was being slashed by a thousand knives. Gu Duan stretched out his hand tremblingly and pushed the plate of dim sum in front of Qi Xuan: "Thank you, Sister Huang, I'm not hungry yet." ”
Qi Xuan retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and was about to pick up a piece to enjoy. Mu Yi's movements were faster, and she brought the plate to Gu Duan: "Xiao Qi, don't be afraid, eat when you're hungry, no one dares to bully you here, Sister Huang." ”
Gu Duan felt that Qi Ju's gaze that had just retracted fell on him again, and at this moment, Gu Duan was about to cry aggrieved.
What have I done, and it's always me who is unlucky.
The royal brother threatened that he wanted to exhaust himself when he was the prince, and he gave himself a paw without saying a word when he met, and he was directly painted on his face, and now he has become cannon fodder under the fire of the two of them.
Gu Duan sadly found that he seemed to have unconsciously had another way to die.
He raised his head suddenly, pushed all the snacks from Table Mountain in front of Qi Xuan, and quickly poured a cup of tea for Mu Yi and himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Imperial sister, I'm not hungry, I was just a little thirsty just now, and now it's fine. This is a newly developed dim sum in the imperial dining room, if Lord Qi likes it, I will have people send it to adults every day. ”
After speaking, he quickly added: "If you develop a new snack in the future, you will send it to the adults as soon as possible." ”
The coal, who was lying on the roof not far away and watching the whole scene, blinked and blinked, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful in his heart.
This unlucky kid is really unlucky.
I don't have any eyesight.
The passing years are wrapped in time and hurried, not asking about the joys and sorrows of the world, and the determined direction does not know the future distance.
The cicadas gradually disappeared, and the branches with life quietly fell leaves, and the bare branches quietly waited for the next spring. When spring blooms, they return to the ground, waiting for the moment when they break through the ground seventeen years later, and sing the familiar song of a long time ago.
The maple garden was red again, a very warm color, bringing warmth, but also burning the eyes.
September 16
A cloudy day is the day to set off on a patrol, Mei Yan's belly has been seven months, and Qing Yu wanted to stay in the palace to take care of her. But thanks to a letter from Qiyang Houfu, Mrs. Qiyang Hou was critically ill, so she forced her body to Suzhou, waiting for the last meeting with Qingyu.
On this day, Gu Xiang did not come to Yong'an Palace for the first time, and he summoned the important ministers of the court and the prince to discuss the matter after leaving Beijing in the Qianyuan Palace all night.
Jiang Wang Fu Qi waved his army south, attacking the city all the way, and the Northern Xia was miserable. If Xia dies, then the next ones to suffer are Shuzhong and Western Chu. Gu Xiang still did not agree to attack and carve up Northern Xia with Fu Qi, and he formed an alliance with Shuzhong to jointly deal with Jiang State.
Although the war has not yet reached Xichu, this trip is less than one month and more than two months. Although Gu Duan is very capable, he has just been the prince for less than a year, and Gu Xiang is still a little uneasy.
On this patrol, Feihua was more excited than Bu Niannian, and Bu Niannian couldn't plug in his hands at all.
In the end, she staggered to Weiyang Palace and took Qingyu to Changle Palace to see Mei Yan.
Mei Yan's fetus is unstable and needs to rest in bed. Gu Xiang would take Bu Niannian to see her every month, and often sent some things to Changle Palace.
She couldn't walk for a long time, and she couldn't stand the bumps of the sedan chair, so Bu Niannian and Mei Yan often found some fun to tease her. After a long time, the invisible estrangement between her and Bu Niannian gradually disappeared, and the concern for Gu Xiang slowly shifted to the child's body, and there was a kind of tenderness that would be a mother all around.
Bu Niannian gently put his hand on Mei Yan's stomach, and the little guy immediately kicked his face with his hand, Bu Niannian said in surprise: "He kicked me, he kicked me." ”
Mei Yan smiled softly: "This is to greet you, say hello to my godmother in advance." ”
Bu Niannian took his hand away and said softly to his stomach: "You are obedient, when you come out, my godmother will give you a big gift." ”
Qingyu took the things handed by the maid and put them on the table: "Ah Yan, it is estimated that it will take a month or two for me and Nian Nian to leave, and you take care of yourself in the palace." Here are some things that we have prepared that you may be able to use, and you keep them and put everything in your own hands. ”
Mei Yan: "Don't worry, as soon as you leave, there will be only me in the palace, and it will be fine." ”
Bu Niannian was also a little uneasy, took out a jade pendant from his cuff and handed it to Mei Yan: "If something happens, you take this jade pendant to the prince, he will definitely help you when he sees this thing." ”
Mei Yan didn't accept it, "This is given to you by the emperor, I can't ask for it." Don't worry, I'll be fine. ”
Bu Niannian took the jade pendant and got up and tied it to Mei Yan's waist, "This is the birthday gift given to me by Princess Zhaoyang, she said to make me a wish, if she is not there, it will be the same to find the prince." ”
Mei Yan's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice was a little choked: "Nian Nian, I ......"
Qing Yu persuaded and said: "Nian Nian gave it to you, take it." ”
Bu Niannian: "Sister Mei, take care of yourself, I'm still waiting for the old man, let's sit on the chair and wait for him to bring his daughter-in-law to greet us." ”
"Okay."
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the autumn harvest is over. The Northern Xia war was raging, and the Western Chu faction was harmonious.
Gu Xiang went on his first tour after ascending the throne, but he paid great attention to frugality, and everywhere he passed, the people all praised the emperor as a once-in-a-lifetime good emperor.
Bu Niannian floated on the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years before entering the palace, and she used to try to swim in the water as long as she was a mount, so she didn't care about such a trivial thing as sailing at all.
Qingyu was born in a Lian family, riding horses to fight on the battlefield, and taking a boat is also a piece of cake for her.
In contrast, Gu Xiang was more unlucky, before ascending the throne, he was chained by his father in Shengjing City to study government affairs, and rarely had the opportunity to go out to play, not to mention after ascending the throne, the scope of activities was smaller, and he tied himself to the palace to deal with government affairs. In the past two years, he has only begun to accompany Bu Niannian to go around Shengjing City from time to time, and this time he can choke on a boat trip.
vomiting and diarrhea, his steps are vain, and his face is pale.
If it weren't for the superb medical skills of the accompanying imperial doctor, the people would definitely have to jointly write a letter asking the emperor to pay attention to rest, focus on the dragon body, and don't be busy with government affairs every day, tossing themselves into this miserable picture that everyone pity.
If Gu Duan was by his side, he would definitely try his best to recommend a good way to treat seasickness to his imperial brother.
Throw yourself into the water, take it out, and if you get dizzy, throw it back in, and so on until you don't faint. I think how seasick he was at the beginning, he was not treated by Qi Xuan's method, and there was no possibility of recurrence.
