Chapter 6: The Past
"Sister, sister, ........." Concubine Shu called a few times, but the queen didn't respond.
"Sister" Concubine Shu simply shouted loudly, and the queen came back to her senses.
"What's wrong?" The queen, who came back to her senses, touched the tip of her nose.
"What is my sister thinking? So obsessed? ”
"It's nothing, it's just some old things"
I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and my father took her home and ran away several times before being discovered.
Father said that it was dangerous to stay by Mu Yuyan's side, she didn't understand at that time, the emperor had already ascended the throne, what danger could a mere prince cause to him? Besides, they are still brothers..........
Later, when she grew up, she gradually understood that even though the matter was a foregone conclusion, as long as someone supported it, it could be overthrown, and the emperor was just a long dream.
At the beginning of the spring of the third year, she went out of the house on the grounds of going out of the house, and went to Mufu along the road in her memory, but she had already gone to the empty building, and heard the small trader next to her say that it was raining heavily that night, and he rode a horse and quickly disappeared on a rainy night, saying that Mu Yuyan asked for his life to guard the border pass.
He was only fifteen years old at that time, and the border was extremely dangerous, and he never sent back any news.
She went to the temple and asked for a peace charm to hang at the head of the bed, and prayed for him every day for safety, even if we could not see him again, as long as he was safe and well.
Now that he is going back to Kyoto, in what capacity should he face him?
Imperial sister-in-law, or old friend?
"I've heard people say, this General Ning Yuan can be civil and martial, and he looks like a talent, and I don't know how many of the thresholds will be broken when I go back to Kyoto this time?" Concubine Shu smiled and squinted, and Lychee couldn't stop the gushing mouth.
"Yes.......... Is it? ”
"Yes, look at General Ning Yuan is the emperor's younger brother, the emperor is now three thousand beauties in the harem, this General Ning Yuan is still alone, maybe this time the emperor sent him back just to say kiss to him"
"Maybe"
"My sister's face is so bad, isn't there anything uncomfortable?" Concubine Shu took a look, and the queen's face was a little pale.
"It's okay, maybe it's just blowing the wind outside"
"Then do you want to ask the Imperial Doctor to take a look?"
"No need, just take a break"
Concubine Shu is also an interesting person, and got up, "Sister is not feeling well, then rest first, sister will come to see my sister another day"
The queen nodded at her, "Qin'er, send Concubine Shu"
Qin'er, who was waiting outside, lifted the curtain and bent down slightly.
"Sister is polite to me, you don't have to send it" turned to Qin'er and said, "Sister is unwell, you are waiting carefully"
"Yes"

"Hohwa Hachi can withdraw his troops?" The man was flipping through the book of war, and when he heard footsteps, he asked without raising his head.
"He suffered heavy losses in the battle yesterday, and it is estimated that he will not dare to be presumptuous in the near future" Lu Min hugged a jar of wine, "General, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return."
The man raised his eyes and looked at "Get out, I'm going to rest"
"This is a victory, how can you not drink some wine?"
"Get Out"
"Hey, General, you can't drink too much to drink with me, right? Also, I've been with you for more than ten years, and I've never seen you drink" Lu Min simply sat on the ground and looked at the man with a wicked smile.
"The agitation method is useless to me" Lu Min's careful thinking was seen through by the man at a glance.
"The poison in the general's body has just been cleared, and he can't drink" It happened that Ning Luoge walked in from outside the door with the medicine.
"Dr. Ning is here, then I'll go find the brothers outside to drink."
After Lu Min left, only the man and Ning Luoge were left in the room.
"General" Ning Luoge handed the medicine bowl to the man.
"Let it go, I'll drink it later"
"The general has something on his mind?"
"Nope"
"Since you don't have anything to worry about, why did you take the war book backwards?" Ning Luoge pursed his lips and chuckled.
The man's hand paused slightly, glanced at the woman slightly embarrassed, and then put the military book on the table.
"The general should drink the medicine first, this is the last pair"
The man took the medicine and drank it all, and Ning Luoge handed over another candied fruit.
"I don't like sweets"
Ning Luoge glanced at the man in surprise, and then smiled lightly, "That depends on what kind of sweetness it is" got up and walked to the windowsill, "I heard that the general and the current queen are old acquaintances"
The man pursed his lips and looked sideways slightly, as if he was a little puzzled by the meaning of her words.
"When I was young in Kyoto, I was fortunate to go to the Taiwei Mansion with my master to diagnose the queen's pulse, oh~ At that time, she was not the queen, she gave birth to a sinking fish and a wild goose, and even a woman of mine felt pity when she saw it............."
"What do you want to say?" The man interrupted her.
"I look at the portrait hanging in front of the general's bed, it's just a little familiar."
The man looked at it.
"General, don't worry, I still know what should be said and what shouldn't be said," Ning Luoge put away the medicine bowl on the table and walked out.
The man stood in front of the portrait, standing with his hands in his hands, and the moonlight was scattered on his body through the window lattice, as if he had crossed a layer of light.
That night there was a raging fire, and somehow, he lay on the bed and couldn't move, and could only watch the fire spread.
Are you going to die here tonight?
He slowly closed his eyes, and what appeared was a smiling face of the queen mother, "Yan'er has grown up, and she is more and more like your father."
The smoke choked, the fire became more and more ferocious, and suddenly I heard something outside the door.
After a while, I saw a thin little girl, holding a sword to cut the door open, and rushed in.
"Brother Yuyan"
He didn't know that the little girl had so much strength that he carried himself out.
The two of them lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Yuyan, I will be your savior in the future"

In the blink of an eye, the first spring rain was ushered in, and the weather was not as cold as before.
Ye Ruotang lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, it has been some time since he came to ancient times, and he stays in Beiyuan all day long, this day without mobile phones, no Korean dramas, and no games is really boring.
Ye Ruotang turned his head to look at the green bamboo on the side, he was concentrating on embroidering flowers, and the green branch was pruning in the yard and said that it was spring, and the flowers grew more luxuriant.
The ancients really could stand boredom.
"Green Bamboo"
"What's wrong, Miss?"
"Come here" Ye Ruotang hooked his hand towards the green bamboo, and the green bamboo immediately put down the Jinpa in his hand and walked over.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm so bored in my room all day, why don't we go out for a walk?"
Luzhu thought for a while, "It's okay, the eldest lady has amnesia, and I don't think I'm very familiar with the house, I'll take you out for a walk, maybe you can think of something."
"Then let's go" Ye Ruotang quickly got out of bed and walked out with Luzhu.
"Lu Yan, I'll take the eldest lady out for a walk"
"Go ahead," he said, lowering his head as he continued to prune the branches.
This is out of Beiyuan, and the whole person is much more relaxed.
Beiyuan is in the most remote location of Yefu, and the only advantage is that there are many trees and the scenery is not bad.
In front is a rockery, and next to it is a gazebo.
"In the summer, the lotus flowers in the river bloom, and it is not interesting to sit in the pavilion at night to admire the moon and watch the lotus," said Luzhu on the side.
However, Ye Ruotang's eyes are all on the rockery, This carving technique is simply ingenious, if it is placed in modern iron, it is worth more than 100,000 yuan.
As I was admiring, a voice came from behind.
"Yo, who am I? It's a big sister."
Ye Ruotang turned around and saw a small and delicate face, looking at him with disdain.
"Why is the big sister willing to come out of the North Garden today?"
That's what I said, didn't I also walk out when I ate last time, this leg grows on my body, you can come out whenever you want, you can control it so widely.
"Beiyuan is boring, come out to breathe, by the way, see if you can remember some of the previous things" Ye Ruotang pretended to rub his forehead.
When Ye Zhinan heard this, he panicked instantly, "What does the big sister think of?" ”
Ye Ruotang looked at her as a thief, and suddenly remembered the dream before, aren't the two people who are smiling are Li and Ye Zhinan in front of him, so he said that he looked so familiar.
"Don't say it, when you come out and see this water, you vaguely remember something."
"What do you remember?" Ye Zhinan cautiously tested.
"The last time I went out to play and fell into the water, I didn't think it was a slippery boat, as if someone pushed me down from behind" Ye Ruotang's eyes sank and looked at the woman fixedly.
Ye Zhinan's eyes were desperately dodging, and he grabbed the clothes on both sides tightly with one hand, "What......... How is it possible, my mother and I are on the boat, and it is clear that the eldest sister accidentally fell down by herself"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Ye Ruotang burst out laughing, "I'm just joking with my sister, why are you so nervous?" ”
The four eyes were facing each other, and Ye Ruotang's momentum was obviously above Ye Zhinan.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first" Ye Zhinan fled in a hurry.
Ye Ruotang stared at her back, and sure enough, it was their mother and daughter who did it.
"Let's go, go back to Beiyuan, this good mood has been ruined by her" Ye Ruotang looked at the woman's back and secretly thought about something.
He had only walked a few steps when he was startled by the sound of a gong.
"What's that sound?"
"Eighty percent comes from outside, and there is a flower market not far from the house, which will hold a flower market festival every spring."
"What is the Flower Market Festival?"
"The flower festival is this day every year, and every family takes the flowers they plant to the flower market to compare the beauty and choose the best pot of flowers. However, most of this is participated by some dignitaries, and those ordinary people can't afford to raise those flowers," Lu Zhu pouted.
Ye Ruotang lost interest in an instant when he heard it, "What's so beautiful about this flower?"
"Miss, you don't understand, this flower cultivation has a lot of knowledge in this, and some flowers are priceless."
As soon as he heard the money, Ye Ruotang became interested, "Then let's go and see it tomorrow?" ”
"This can't be done, the eldest lady can't go in and out of the house at will before she arrives."
"What are you afraid of, let's sneak out"
"Ah, this is not good, if you are found by the master, you will be punished"
"Father doesn't come to Beiyuan very often, we go out to play for a while and come back, he won't know"
Luzhu was a little entangled, but he couldn't bear Ye Ruotang to fan the flames all the time.
"Oh well"
"But don't let Lu Yan know, she will definitely stop me" Lu Yan always looks like an old dragon clock, this is not good, that is not allowed, and he also lets himself embroider and read books every day, and nags in his ears all day long, full of ancient thoughts.
On the contrary, this green bamboo is different, the child's temperament is similar to Ye Ruotang's smell.
"Yes, Miss"
Ye Ruotang thought that he could go out tomorrow, and his good mood came back in an instant, and he was happy.
*********
The next day, Ye Ruotang took the green diaphragm, in order not to attract attention, he found a green bamboo clothes to wear, the two came to the back door, looked around and sneaked out.
This ancient market is very different from the modern one, with a dazzling array of gadgets, good-looking lanterns, and all kinds of handmade artworks, Ye Ruotang was dazzled for a while.
Suddenly, a gong and drum shook the sky, and the crowd moved in one direction, and Ye Ruotang followed with curiosity for a while.
There are flowers all over the ground, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all kinds of colors, and there are many flowers that have never been seen before, and there are so many flowers in ancient times.
Eyes move up again, this sitting next to the flower is the owner of his own family, one by one jade trees in the wind, dignified, at a glance one is more handsome than the other.
Ye Ruotang instantly became a nymphomaniac, these people are much more handsome than South Korea's Oba.
"Hey, who's standing in the third row on the left?" Ye Ruotang hurriedly asked.
"Li Yan, the second son of Li Yuanwai's family in the east of the city"
"It's quite handsome" Ye Ruotang kept staring at him, the man seemed to notice that his eyes were also looking towards Ye Ruotang, his eyes were facing each other, and the man nodded very politely.
