The country is good, the spring and autumn are fleeting, and the years are walking in the silent corners, urging down how much the past was.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Longhe, Wen Moshu couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the crowd at the harvest festival.

Time has passed in a blink of an eye, and he is no longer the newly enthroned emperor, but a generation of Ming monarchs who ruled the entire Yuan country and established harmonious relations with Zhongzhou and even foreign countries. But for some reason, he always felt that the things that happened when he was young were just yesterday, but they were just a snap of a finger.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go back. In the morning, His Majesty promised the prince that he would take the test of his six arts today, and if he went back too late, the prince would not have time for dinner. ”

Jun Wunian, who was dressed in brocade clothes behind him, smiled and groaned, still the same exquisite style as in the past, and his face was approaching without the slightest sign of aging, and Wen Moshu sighed for a while: "Everyone else is getting older and older year by year, but you are living more and more energetically, is there any panacea in Junzilou?" Lin'er sees that you always like to call your brother, and I feel sad when I hear it. ”

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and there are too many things to do, so you will naturally look old; I, the person hiding behind the scenes, can only come up with bad ideas, regardless of the aftermath, it is much easier than Your Majesty. Jun Wunian pointed to the altar and said with a smile, "I'll go and see if there's anything else that needs to be done, Your Majesty will go back to the palace first, Empress Shuyi is waiting in the pavilion." ”

Wen Moshu summoned the eunuch to accompany him, looked at the carriage and horses back to the palace, and shook his head after hesitating for a moment.

"If you are tired of sitting in the car, you should walk to the pavilion, if Jinyi is not afraid of being tired, it is not bad to walk back to the palace to relax."

The days of being stuffy in the palace all day are very boring, although he is busy and has no time to take care of him, but in the middle of the night when it is quiet, Wen Moshu always feels empty, as if something is missing.

He knew that he was just missing someone, but this deficiency could not be made up for in this life.

"Your Majesty?" Walking to the pavilion, Wen Moshu was still immersed in his own melancholy, and was called by Tang Jinyi softly before he woke up like a big dream. Tang Jinyi's temples are high, and he has more grace and charm than before: "Lin'er finished studying early in the morning, clamoring to come to see the festival, and I can't persuade my aunt to bring him over." No, I specially asked Guard Lin to inform me first, and it will probably be there in a while. ”

Lin'er is eight years old, her body is a little weak, Wen Moshu is always afraid that he will catch a cold and will not allow him to walk around, no wonder Lin'er is so eager to come to the palace to see the festival. Recalling that he was also frail when he was a child, and he once looked at his brothers who happily went to play outside the palace with envy, Wen Moshu suddenly realized that he was indeed a little overprotective.

"It's good to come, it's lively today, let him see the expressions of the people, maybe he will understand what his mission as an emperor is. It's a pity that the festival has ended, and he can only come to watch the aftershow. Waving his hand to retreat the surrounding guards, Wen Moshu also sat on the soft chair of the pavilion, "By the way, I heard Wunian say that the Anzhou envoy from Huo Sidu wants to return to China?" ”

Tang Jinyi nodded, but there was no dissatisfaction: "I just wanted to explain this matter to Your Majesty." The envoy of Anzhou is a distant relative of the Mugeta family, a clean and very sensible little girl, and the last time I came to Anzhou, I saw that she was very intelligent and I was a little closer, so this child sent the letter directly to me, not to disrespect His Majesty. ”

"It's okay, after all, she is young and timid, let her write to me directly and say that she wants to return to China, for fear of being blamed for it. Did she say why she suddenly returned to China? ”

"It's Hosdu's National Day." Looking up at the happy crowd in the distance, Tang Jinyi had a soft smile on his face, "Actually, we Dayuan should also congratulate - hasn't the monarch of Hosdu and that duchess been childless since they got married?" I heard that a god with excellent medical skills gave a medicine, and the Duke of Mugeta's stomach really moved soon after taking it, and the eighth day of the last month gave birth to the little prince smoothly, and the incense was finally continued, which was enough to make the people of Hothus celebrate. ”

There are no brothers and sisters in Baishan, only the birth of a little prince can continue the path of incense, and the courtiers and the people have been waiting to survive for seven years, but it is no wonder that even the envoys sent to Anzhou have to rush back to celebrate.

"Father! Queen mother! ”

A loud and crisp shout came from the audience, Wen Moshu's expression lit up, and his smile was involuntarily revealed.

"Come here, Lin'er, let my father see-" Without waiting for Lin'er to show his head, Wen Moshu hurriedly said, only to find out halfway through his words that there was a child of the same age who came with Lin'er.

Seeing that Wen Moshu was surprised, Lin'er hurriedly took the boy's hand and took two steps forward: "Father, this is a friend brought into the palace by Aunt Ling Xi this morning, his name is Little Bastard." Aunt Ling Xi asked me to bring him to meet you. ”

Whose parents are so big-hearted that they name their children Little Bastards?

Wen Moshu and Tang Jinyi looked at each other and laughed dumbly, they couldn't understand which one Ye Lingxi was playing, seeing that the child's bright eyes and bright teeth, handsome eyebrows and eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little fond.

"Little ...... Little bastard, who are you? Why did she let you come to see the emperor? Tang Jinyi bent down, hugged the two children and asked with a chuckle.

"My mother said that she wanted to call Aunt Ling Xi." The child's eyes were black and white, and he spoke crisply and neatly, and his voice was clear and clear, without the slightest timidity, "My father and my mother asked me to give this box to the emperor, so I asked Aunt Ling Xi to take me into the palace." Na, it's this box, my mother said, I must hand it over to the emperor by hand. ”

The boy handed over a one-foot square mahogany box, which was not carved and decorated, but the wood was worth a lot.

Wen Moshu didn't open the box immediately, his eyes looked at the child carefully, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, and a faint gentleness inadvertently surged up on Ning He's face.

"This was given to you by your mother?" Gently picked up the red rope pendant hanging from the child's chest, and the gentle curvature of the corner of his lips was sparsely opened.

It was a very strange-looking pendant, not jade or gold, and the shape was extremely strange, it was a few small pieces of broken silver glued together with tree glue, and the glossy surface was somewhat dull to indicate that it had been a long time.

The little bastard carefully put the broken silver ball back into the collar, and his bright eyes were full of seriousness: "How could the emperor know?" This is the amulet that my mother gave me, and my mother said that she used to look at this amulet when she encountered any difficulties, and then she was not afraid of anything. ”

His unintentional actions that year made her remember them, and to this day she still solemnly hands over that inconspicuous thing to her children.

Over the years, he has never forgotten a single cent of the past, so why shouldn't she?

This relationship has nothing to do with Fengyue, but it is stronger than Fengyue.

Xu is Wen Mo's stunned expression made the little bastard think that he had said something wrong, and he was stunned for a long time, but showed an apologetic expression: "Did I say the wrong thing?" Dad always said that my mother and I were carved out of the same mold, and I didn't talk with my brain, if the emperor was angry, I would ...... I'll give the emperor a punch, okay? ”

The child's innocence relieved Wen Moshu from the memories, lowered his head, rubbed the head of the little bastard with his warm palm, and his smile became brighter: "Is your mother okay?" ”

"It's okay." This question seemed to be a little difficult to answer, and the little bastard scratched his head, "In the first two years, my mother was always sleeping, and sometimes she would fall asleep while playing with me." However, in the past two years, my mother has not been so lazy, and she is more energetic than my father day and night, so my father agreed to take me home. ”

Wen Moshu gasped, unable to hide his joy: "Go home? Are your mother and your father back? Where is Dingyuan County or the imperial capital? ”

The little bastard was taken aback by Wen Mo's hurried tone: "In, in my hometown, my father wants to kowtow to my father's father and mother......"

At that moment, Wen Moshu didn't know whether to laugh heartily or continue to maintain his majesty as an emperor, but he knew in his heart that after seven years, the people he had been waiting for, cared about, and unforgettable would finally return to his side.

"Lin'er, call my brother." Tang Jinyi quickly understood the relationship, covered his mouth and chuckled, and took Lin'er and the little bastard's hands and put them together, "You two listen well, you guys are the best and best brothers in the world, you have to help and take care of each other at all times, understand?" ”

Lin'er and the little bastard nodded as if they didn't understand, and when they looked at each other, they realized in a trance that in fact, the eyebrows and eyes of the two people were somewhat similar.

"Your Majesty is going to send someone to invite those two prodigal sons to the palace? If you ignore them, they may really think of themselves as foreigners. With a long sigh of relief, Tang Jinyi beckoned to call the nurse, "Aunt Song, you first take the prince and this little prince back to the palace, and then take someone to clean out a south room in the inner palace, and we will have distinguished guests in two days." ”

The nurse answered, and left with the two children after saluting, Wen Moshu opened the box and took a casual look.

"I really didn't expect them to come back without even saying hello in advance, and they specially brought the child over first...... These two people, should they be said to be young or old naughty boys? Tang Jinyi tied the cloak and ribbon, turned his attention to the box in Wen Moshu's hand, and said curiously, "What's in the box?" It's mysterious, and it's not like a style of worry. ”

"What used to be important, now, it doesn't matter."

There was silence for a while, as if he felt that his answer was difficult to understand, Wen Moshu shook his head and smiled, and handed the box to the eunuch beside him.

"Let's go, call Wunian to go back to the palace together, and in a few days, when the two of them come back from Dingyuan County, we can finally get together and have a good drink."

The emperor and empress, who were not husband and wife, walked away slowly under the bright sunshine, with a tall back with an inviolable momentum, and there was a kind of dignity that made people reverence for no reason.

The lid of the box fell open, and a square object rolled out a few paces away, lying on the ground rather lonely.

The attendant eunuch was stunned for a long time, and was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue off: "Passing on, passing on the jade seal of the country?!" ”

The red jade seal on that side once opened a prelude, set off a wave, promoted a marriage, and branded a regret; Now, after years of being searched for and unable to find it, it has reappeared in the world, but what it has gained is light.

The attendant eunuch looked up into the distance.

Behind the joyful people, the brilliant sunlight spreads all over the sky, and there is no haze in the blue sky, so pure as this prosperous Jinghua, no one cares whether the current emperor is in charge of the heirloom jade seal, the only thing that represents the identity of the Son of Heaven, it should be meaningful to lose it long ago.

The rivers and mountains are stable, the years are overturned, even if there are too many regrets and sorrows, what is waiting for in the end is happiness.

This ending is enough.
