Tianchi is on the shore of the Yellow River, and after the sun sets, the wind gradually rises, blowing straight to the face of the pain. Except for the guards on duty, everyone else went back to the post station or the tarpaulin tent to hide from the wind, but Fan Ning sat in the leeward place, lighting a fire and grilling fish, and was very happy.

I don't know what wind blew Li Yuanyan over, she squatted beside the bonfire, sniffed and sniffed, rubbed her little hands, greedy like a coveted civet cat outside the abalone shop: "Wow, it's so fragrant, this fish is so big, you must not be able to eat it yourself, give me some ......"

"Go!" After rushing all day, Fan Ning was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she couldn't care about her friendship with Li Yuanyan, which was not very deep, and waved away the little hand that reached out, "Do you know how much effort I spent catching this fish?" I will come up in vain, and I am not your handmaiden. ”

"Yes, yes, you are now noble, but I don't know how to measure, so I will make amends to you, okay?"

Fan Ning glanced at Li Yuanyan, bit hard, and left a half-moon-shaped tooth voice on the grilled fish: "It's so bad for morality, you are still gloating here." ”

"What's the schadenfreude in this? Back then, how much the saint liked Princess Anding, everyone knew it, maybe you could really rise to the top, and the toad turned over. ”

"You are the toad," Fan Ning deliberately chewed hard, so greedy that Li Yuanyan swallowed his saliva, "Do you think the emperor is stupid?" The daughter-in-law who has been in love for many years, the daughter who doesn't know whether it's true or not, if you are him, which one do you want? ”

"It's because of this that you deliberately alienated Xue Lang? I can't see it, it's very affectionate! ”

Fan Ning was choked by Li Yuan, the grilled fish in her mouth almost squirted out, she raised her hand to wipe her lips, picked up the water bag on her side and poured a few mouthfuls of water, and when her red complexion eased, Fang threatened: "I will beat you if you talk nonsense again." ”

Li Yuanyan let out a "sigh", not taking Fan Ning's words seriously at all: "In my opinion, you really don't look like the daughter of the emperor and queen." Seeing Zhu Chengbi's thoughts, he was haggard and fragmented as Yijun. If you don't believe it, you will cry and open the box to inspect the pomegranate skirt', do you know under what circumstances this is a poem written by the Queen of Heaven to the Emperor? In the darkness of adversity over there, you don't want to give up on your beloved, what about you? That's all? ”

"Don't you like him? Why bother to tell me this", Fan Ning stabbed the bonfire with a bamboo stick, and instantly poked out a spark that jumped into the sky, which frightened Li Yuanyan instinctively shrank back, and Fan Ning giggled at her timidity.

"If I don't think it's easy for him, who cares about you. There are a few soldiers who are not on duty who have drunk too much, and they have been glancing at you, and they don't know what dirty things they want to do, Xue Lang has been sitting by the window of the post station and staring at them, and he has been so attentive to you, but you only know that you are afraid. ”

Fan Ning was stunned for a moment, looked back at the post station, and sure enough, she saw a thin figure sitting in front of the window, her heart moved slightly, but she said: "Those drunk shrimp soldiers and crabs will be able to beat me?" ”

Although this is true, it is also like a dry food bun that has been dried for many days, which makes people uncomfortable, Li Yuanyan rolled her eyes angrily: "Xu is afraid that you will beat them to death if you don't take them lightly...... It's too cold, I'm leaving, you two things, you can solve it yourself. ”

After saying that, Li Yuanyan got up briskly and disappeared into the light and shadow in the blink of an eye. Fan Ning sat down for a while, extinguished the bonfire, stood up and patted the dust on his body, and sighed softly.

"If you don't believe it, you will cry more than long, open the box and check the pomegranate skirt", this poem was mediocre at first reading, but there was an indescribable affection and eternity when you read it again, Fan Ning muttered in a low voice, and her thoughts drifted to more than ten years ago, and a girl sitting by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern suddenly appeared in her mind, her eyebrows and eyes were clear, and she wrote a faint sadness, but it was full of stubborn light.

That is Wu Mei in the Ganye Temple, in the adversity that others can't understand, like dead ashes, she still firmly believes that she will break through the fog one day, even if she is soaked in fragrant ash oil all day long, she never gives up the hope in her heart. Perhaps it is precisely because she always has hope that after three years in Ganye Temple, Wu Mei was reborn, reunited with the emperor, returned to Taiji Palace, calmed the wind and waves, and finally became a diva.

Fan Ning didn't know whose daughter she was, but she knew that she was the same as Wu Mei back then, she was Mount Tai at the top, and she would never give up easily, even if it was really the queen of heaven who wanted her life, she would definitely fight with her to the end.

Fan Ning secretly clenched his little fist, unaware that Xue Ne came out of the post station, came to her side, and saw Fan Ning distracted, he laughed in a low voice: "Who provoked you?" What a gritted tooth. ”

Fan Ning raised his head and glanced at Xue Ne, still looking like he was ignorant of answers, but his body instinctively moved, making room for Xue Ne, and replied with three points of truth and seven points of falsehood: "You, I want to kill you...... What are you doing here? Looking for me? ”

"The bonfire is extinguished, but I don't see you coming back, I'm afraid that others will be in danger", Xue Ne joked, and put the cloak in his hand on Fan Ning's shoulder, "I talked to Brother Ling Ming just now, according to him, it was not the emperor who ordered me to bring you to Luoyang, but the queen of heaven." ”

"Diva?" Fan Ning half turned around, his peach blossom eyes met Xue Ne's calm and clear eyes, and he was suspicious, "If the Queen of Heaven ordered you to take me to Luoyang, why let that Wu Sansi come to the East Palace to ask for someone?" ”

"yes, it doesn't make sense. The sacred heart is unpredictable, and I can only wait until tomorrow to go to Luoyang to explore the truth again, which is really a first two big. ”

"What, you're scared?"

"Afraid", Xue Ne sat down next to Fan Ning, not shying away from the hidden worries in his heart, "I know that this matter is linked to your life experience, and if you care, you will inevitably have doubts, and you feel that I seem to know something, but I refuse to tell the truth, I am afraid that even I will be suspicious." I don't dare say you believe me, but ......"

"I believe you", Fan Ning interrupted Xue Ne's words, and felt a little embarrassed as if he had confessed, and stuck out his tongue, "Whether you are afraid or not, you must always face the things you should face." I used to think that I was afraid of affecting you, but since I ...... If you're not afraid of getting involved, I'm not welcome. ”

Hearing Fan Ning say this, Xue Ne was indescribably happy: "Do you remember the first day I went to the Taoist temple when I was a child?" At that time, I didn't know anything, thinking about helping Master Li sort out the embroidery thread that wore the bell, but somehow I got entangled with you, and I couldn't break free, maybe this was the fate of the connection. ”

Fan Ning still remembered that the rope was red, and the two of them couldn't break free, until Li Chunfeng came back in the evening, Fang sorted out his clues, and released the two small ones. At that time, Li Chunfeng also joked that it was a red line, but she didn't understand it at that time, but now she is so ashamed that she can't find a crack to get into.

The gaze cast by the young man beside him was extremely warm, more gentle and pleasant than the moonlight, Fan Ning did not avoid his gaze, raised his eyes and asked: "You have a constraint in the princess case, I will not ask again, and I will not pull your clothes and rob books again." But I still have a question in my heart, and I hope you can tell the truth: last night...... Are you asleep or awake? ”

This girl's temperament has never been crooked, Xue Ne had guessed before, she would ask sooner or later, and originally planned to pretend to be confused and go around, but in this situation, he couldn't lie at all, let alone talk about him in the left regard.

Although neither of them said anything, their intentions for each other were clear, since Fan Ning no longer avoided it, where did Xue Ne have a reason to dodge. But last night's incident, a single explanation can't be explained, and Xue Ne is not good at words, which can be regarded as making matters worse.

The moonlight was like water, reflecting the beautiful woman's stunning appearance, Xue Ne paused, and explained with great difficulty: "Last night and that time in the carriage, I didn't mean to be abrupt, I ......"

I didn't mean to be abrupt, but I was really happy. I have liked her for so many years, and it is natural to say that I don't want to be close to her, but it is not frivolous. Seeing that the doubts in Fan Ning's eyes were getting thicker and thicker, he didn't want to be disgusted with her anymore because of his mouth, so he mustered up his courage, gently held her shoulder, looked at her delicate red lips, and leaned down.

Fan Ningtao's eyes widened, and he secretly scolded this kid for answering in such a way, but he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Under a round of moon shadows, a pair of beautiful people are in pairs, each other's breath is close at hand, indescribable warmth and charm, who knows that someone suddenly shouted in the post station behind him: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing there!" ”

Needless to say, it was Li Hong who spoke out, and Fan Ning jumped up like a rabbit with this remark, ran away with his legs, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Xue Ne standing in place, unable to tell whether he was happy or lost, and he was left with a hesitant face.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Hong and his entourage finally arrived at the southern suburbs of Luoyang City. Who knew that before entering the Dingding Gate, he saw a horse on the side of the road making a sexual attack, rampage, and was about to rush towards the convoy. Before Zhang Shun could give an order, the guard in front of the head put down the horse and the master together in three or two: "Bold!" Dare to crash into the prince's convoy! ”

"The grass people deserve death for their crimes, and they deserve to die for their crimes!" The man was already crying, trembling like chaff, "This horse has lost its temper for some reason, and suddenly it rushed out." The grass people know that they are guilty, and they dare not ask His Highness for forgiveness, can they let this horse live, this is the only livestock in my family, if it is gone, our family will be old and young...... There is no other livelihood, please spare your life, please spare your life! ”

"Zhang Shun", Li Hong lifted the curtain and called Zhang Shun to his side, "No one will use such a method to collide, it's too stupid, he has tried his best to restrain the horse, and there is still blood on his hands, let people go." ”

Zhang Shun seemed to have guessed that Li Hong would say this, hugged his fists and saluted, stepped forward and instructed the guards a few words, and then let the man go.

The convoy continued to move forward, and entered Luoyang City by the Dingmen, and the civil and military officials knelt down to greet them, in addition, there were many people who spontaneously came to greet the East Palace. Yang Jiong and Xue Ne rode together, lifted the curtain to look at it, and sighed: "There is a benevolent prince, it is really a blessing for the people of my Tang Dynasty, a few days ago, there was also a collision of cattle and horses in the city, some dignitaries and dignitaries did not forgive, and even caused the people to lose their lives. ”

"Cattle and horses have been tamed for many years, how can they hit people in the street?" Xue Ne frowned slightly, feeling that there was something strange about this matter.

"What else can it be, it is estimated that there is a vision to prove that there is a vision, and the country will be in chaos", Yang Jiong said, lowering his voice, "In recent days, it has been rumored in Luoyang City that Princess Anding is not dead, and the queen of heaven will be deposed...... So you understand, why did the queen of heaven summon you to Luoyang in a hurry? You have to give more encouragement, solve the case early, and don't lose to Nadi surnamed Fa Cao! ”

Xue Ne smiled lightly, didn't answer again, leaned against the window, and looked at the scenery of the Shendu. Since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, the city has nearly a thousand years as the capital of China, but the brick and tile in front of it is not old, it was designed by the Great Sui Jin Ziguanglu doctor Yu Wenkai decades ago, and the mountains and rivers of Luoyang are in line with the landform, among which the palace design is more elegant, the location of each temple corresponds to the stars in the vast blue sky, the heaven and the earth are integrated, extremely luxurious.

The convoy bypassed the vast Kyushu Pond and finally arrived at the East Palace. The magnificence here is not to be said, especially the East Palace of Chang'an City. It's just that this pavilion falls in the eyes of different people, and it has a different style. Honglian felt that her identity was very different from Li Hong's, and Fan Ning felt the strong oppression of imperial power, as if no matter how hard she struggled, it was difficult to break out of this sky.

The subordinate officials of the East Palace got out of the carriage one after another, each holding a salute, waiting for the female official to allocate a residence, and the empty palace became lively. A red-clothed imperial historian suddenly came from the north of the country in a carriage, got off the car and stepped forward, and saluted Li Hong: "Slave to see Your Highness." ”

"But the father and the queen mother summoned the palace?" Li Hong originally wanted to face the saint immediately after settling down, but he never thought that the internal official would come first, he was worried that Li Zhi's condition would change, so he asked eagerly.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Ersheng Enran, it's just ...... The queen of heaven has something important to find Xue Mingfu. Dare to ask where is Xue Ming's Mansion? Hurry up and follow the old slave face saint. ”

The front foot just arrived, how the queen of heaven will be passed on immediately, Li Hong was full of suspicion, but he couldn't stop it, he could only watch Xue Ne follow the royal history of the carriage, with the horseman whipping, the wheels rolled to the Ming Hall in the middle of the palace.
