Chapter 591: Keep the clouds open and see the moon
The green mountains are like turning, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other.
This mountain forest is one of the royal palaces, and Taizu surrounded this mountain for royal climbing and sightseeing when he first saw it in his early years. Its scenery alone is unique, and the steep mountain is enough to attract people, and it is a dangerous mountain that the hunters took risks to win a good year before the New Year.
It has been repaired for 30 years in a row, and this mountain road has never been opened. Countless emperors of the previous dynasty invested a lot of financial resources, and it was not until Xia Jingnian was born that this walkway up the mountain was repaired.
Now it has gradually been fully developed, and it can be used as a treasure place for hunters at the end of the year, with a lot of delicious delicacies and a lot of fairy grass and game.
On the side of the road, a strange cypress grew out of the cliff, Ji Qiang couldn't help but stop and call Xia Jingnian, who was walking not far ahead: "Eh, have you seen where?" ”
Xia Jingnian came here a few times in his early years, and he had seen it: "See, this cypress tree has grown here since before I was born." The age is estimated to be the same size as Taizu, and now it is more and more verdant and lush. ”
Ji Qiang was surprised in her heart, stretched out her finger to the void and traced the outline along the cypress tree in the distance: "Why don't you bring a painter with you this time." This strange peak, who can know if it will be in a few years. ”
Xia Jingnian smiled, came back a few steps and grabbed Ji Qiang's wrist, and climbed up with her. I wanted to laugh at her unprovoked worry, but I still comforted her with a straight face, "I must bring it next time, the queen remembers to remind me." ”
He said this and stopped looking back, staring intently at the mossy staircase at the edge in front of him. Ji Qiang wanted to correct him, but her heart was turbulent, and just as she wanted to speak, she happened to step on the moss that Xia Jingnian had just been extremely careful about.
If you slip your foot, you will fall to the ground. Xia Jingnian's eyes were quick, he held her waist, clenched her wrists, and pulled Ji Qiang again. He had palpitations, and couldn't help but say that the belt hanging down from his waist was tied with Ji Qiang's: "Just avoid it carefully, for fear that you will slip, if you slip again, I won't notice it...... Look, I can go back along the road I walked. ”
Following his words, Ji Qiang looked back. I have already walked a long way, and this day is a unique scenery of the misty mountain villa, and now it looks like I am on the clouds, and I can't see where the ground is.
She shrank for a moment, getting closer to Xia Jingnian, and looked at the steps under her feet cautiously.
At the canonization ceremony, 9,900 steps of palace road; On the head, a phoenix crown of more than ten catties...... Ji Qiang couldn't help it, but this mountain was even more difficult to climb than the palace road that year, and it was extremely steep. Originally, Xia Jingnian was holding her wrist, but now it has become two people holding each other tightly, Ji Qiang's calves are a little sore, and she tends to follow Xia Jingnian step by step.
The two set off early in the morning and carried everyone lightly. In the early morning, the fog is vast, and the feeling of being in the cold in the mountains is on the body. Ji Qiang secretly thought about the wrong proposal that she had made when she came to the villa last night, and she was resentful in her heart, and she just wanted to say a few words to Xia Jingnian to slow down the coldness on her body.
Suddenly, his face was warm, and half of his body was bathed in the sun.
Xia Jingnian was already standing on the top of the mountain, and his whole body seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light. His pupils had become an extremely beautiful glazed amber color, and Xia Jingnian smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to Ji Qiang: "It's here, the top of the mountain." ”
Keep the clouds open and see the moon, and keep the fog to see the rising sun.
The two of them went back to the villa mansion to rest for a while, it was already afternoon, Ji Qiang was tired, and when she returned to her yard, she didn't care about eating, so she planted herself in the soft quilt that the maid had been drying all morning.
In the afternoon, the sun eyes had gradually changed color, Ji Qiang woke up from the bed staggeringly, she was sleepy and saw that a small guy next to the bed had come in and waited for a long time, the little guy nodded and said to her: "The emperor invites you to hunt in the paddock." ”
Ji Qiang changed into suitable clothes and wandered to the hunting ground by the river when Xia Jingnian was already in the same place, wearing a green shirt and standing uninhibited, waiting for her. It seemed that she was a little late, so she brought her a meek-looking jujube foal, and the two rode into the mountains and forests to hunt together.
It's called hunting, in fact, the place under the control of a special person has long been cleared, there are no dangerous animals at all, and some hares and wild birds are also caught and raised. The two gained a lot, but it didn't take much effort.
The two simply tied their horses to the river and went down to the river to catch fish.
The water was crystal clear, but there weren't many fish, just a few small fry the size of a palm. Ji Qiang stepped on the smooth stones at the bottom of the river, the river had just reached her calf, and seeing the right time, she hid in the path that the fish had to pass, blocking two in a row.
"Look, I've got three." Ji Qiang showed off to Xia Jingnian, and grabbed a small basket containing fish and went ashore to set up a pot.
After she failed a few times before making a fire, Xia Jingnian had already come up with a small half basket of fish fry.
"This fish is not interesting to eat, so it is better to make a soup." Ji Qiang proposed.
She began to process the fish, the water of the river was flowing and the water was clean, and when she did it, she did not need more spices. This Ji Qiang put the fish into the pot, and Xia Jingnian had already processed the chicken and put it on the fire.
Ji Qiang admired Xia Jingnian's speed in her heart, which was twice as fast as herself. Xia Jingnian said: "You shouldn't have eaten anything, and then burn a chicken." ”
She did sleep until now, Ji Qiang blushed a little, and put the firewood under the chicken to burn. Xia Jingnian is careful everywhere, and she is not uncomfortable with her.
The original taste of the fish soup is fresh and sweet, and the roast chicken is thick and red, Xia Jingnian only moved a few bites, and handed the chicken to Ji Qiang. The meal was eaten until the sun set, and it was already dark when the two of them came out of the paddock on horseback.
At night, Ji Qiang returned to the house, lying on the bed for a long time, only to realize that she had lost sleep during the day and night.
The moonlight was shining outside the window, and she lay down for a long time, and the more she lay down, the more she felt sleepless, so she simply got up. The maids and maids had already fallen asleep, the courtyard was quiet, and Ji Qiang didn't want to disturb other people's dreams, so she put on a coat and slipped out of the door.
She was alone, in the middle of the moon, and it became more and more deserted when she walked in the empty mountain villa. With nowhere to go, Ji Qiang simply walked according to the memory of the afternoon, and walked to the small river again.
However, when the river was near, I heard a faint noise.
She got closer and closer, and if there was really someone who was independent of the river, Mochizuki played solo.
She walked up to the man and was about to speak, when Xia Jingnian turned around, as if she was not surprised at all by her arrival.
"Sure enough, I'm not the only one who doesn't want to bear this moonlight." Xia Jingnian smiled.
Xiao Zi rose again, and the two of them stood on the riverbank, just as the clouds and the moon were cleared, and the fog dissipated.
