Chapter Forty-Six: Yan Hong Returns After the Warbler

The sunlight shone on the ice edge, and the cold reflection shot into her eyes, stabbing the corners of her eyes, and Dan was stunned, the dryness slowly subsided, and the usual smile returned to her lips.

"Tonight......"

She turned around and whispered to Mahjong, "How many have you caught?" ”

Mahjong shook his tail at her, only to see that the open space on the shore was full of fish, Mahjong was very proud to meow, cocked his tail, and looked proud, "Come praise me, worship me".

"Okay, okay, I know you can do it."

Dan Li stroked its fat chin, and praised it against its ear, and Mahjong cocked his tail even more proudly, trembling with green tips, looking extremely funny and abrupt.

"These fish are enough, stop mahjong!"

Mahjong shook his head unwillingly, wanting to continue, Dan Li nodded at its nose and said: "The fish will not taste good if it is left for a long time, so it is better to leave some leftovers to eat after spring." ”

Mahjong meowed lightly twice, and Dan Li raised his eyebrows, "You mean, make it into salted fish?" If you eat too much salted fish, it will lose its hair! ”

Mahjong was frightened by this, and finally honestly, hung his head in a daze, and put his tail away from the water.

Danli glanced at it, and with a finger of his hand, the green leaves wrapped around its tail faded away, as if all the fragrance had been dissipated, and quickly withered and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally reduced to a branch.

So there were no more fish in the pond, and all of them scattered. Dan Li took out the cloth bag prepared close to him, loaded all the fish into it, and then piled it on the half of the lotus leaf, and let the mahjong stand on the cloth bag, the cloth bag was full of fish, which seemed a little bulging, and the mahjong was slightly unstable and almost fell down.

"Stand firm, if you can't do it, just lie on your stomach and hold the bag, otherwise you will become a soup cat."

Dan Li said badly in his soft ears, causing a long meow of mahjong's poignant anger, Dan Li froze as a whole person, and watched Mahjong look proud, and go away with the lotus leaf.

"I think I heard a cat meow, what's going on?"

Not far away, under the high pavilion, there seemed to be a palace maid's surprised cry, and then there were footsteps coming this way.

This courtyard is not very large, only shaded by a bush of trees, and it is unobstructed when you go around, and Danli must be exposed immediately if he stands alone.

She went around to the side of the shade, but unexpectedly, the palace maids gathered in a group, and they actually came this way-

"Where is the cat, could it be that the 'Moyu' in the Imperial Garden has escaped?"

"No, it's Banzai's favorite cat, if there is a mistake, what will the people in the imperial prison room do?"

In the midst of the crisis, a familiar voice said lightly: "Don't go over to see it, I want to walk around." ”

The voice was not loud, but it was very clear in Danli's ears, and suddenly the palace maid made a promise and turned around to leave.

The sound of steady footsteps came this way, unhurried, and every step seemed to step on her heart—

Dan couldn't hide from Qingzhi, so before he could find out, he dodged out first.

"Your Majesty."

She hung her head and stood in a well-behaved posture.

"Huh?!"

Emperor Zhaoyuan suddenly heard the sound of people's footsteps, his eyes were cold, and he saw that she was standing in front of her with her head downcast, and the cold anger in her eyes subsided a little, but she still asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

Dan Li was in a hurry, and lifted an inconspicuous small fish left by mahjong at his feet, and carried it behind him with some dodge, and his head hung lower.

"Catch fish?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan's gaze swept to the fish - thin and coarse black, it really didn't look like a delicacy, but she treasured it behind her, even if her eyelashes trembled with fear, she didn't want to let go.

His gaze shifted down, and he saw that the hem of the not-so-good silk skirt was drenched with water—just to catch this little fish, and to make such a mess of himself in the middle of winter?

Is her life really so difficult?

Emperor Zhaoyuan was secretly worried in his heart, and his eyes were still dark and bottomless.

Danli also saw her wet skirt - this was splashed at the moment when Mahjong left, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her heart was spontaneously ruthless: Go back and clean up this dead cat!

But I have to get through this difficult time now, and then I can go back!

Wailing silently in her heart, she barely pulled out a smile, "Hooray, you have the most and fattest fish here, so-"

Her words came to an abrupt end, and her dry and warm palm rubbed on the top of her hand, as if it was a comforting rubbing, and the strength of her hand was a little stiff, but it was unprecedentedly warm!

Emperor Zhaoyuan rubbed her messy hair, but found that her sideburns were even more messy, and the stars were full of ice slag, he sighed, and it passed into Dan Li's ears, but it was complex and soft that was confusing-

"How did you get yourself like this?"

The tone was indifferent, and the timid person was only afraid to listen to this sentence as a reproach, so he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, but Dan Li, with his intuition, felt that this sentence was not malicious, and even, the tone was unprecedented...... Pity?!

Startled by the word that suddenly popped up in his mind, Dan blinked weakly, and his smile was still uncomfortable, "Catch fish, you can't take care of these......"

Emperor Zhaoyuan's palm was not withdrawn, just covered her hair, making her feel as if she had been pricked by a needle, and then asked a sentence, but it was an accurate hit to the core of the question-

"You're brave enough to come and catch fish near my dormitory."

"Uh......"

No matter how cheeky Danli is, she can't be justified, and while she was hesitating, Emperor Zhaoyuan said lightly: "Near Weiyang Palace, if you find someone with suspicious behavior, the guards can kill you on the spot - it's too dangerous for you to sneak in like this, and you can't do it again in the future!" ”

Danli nodded like pounding garlic, the palm on her messy hair still had no intention of taking it back, she peeked over, only to see Emperor Zhaoyuan against the sun, his face was not real, he just said again-

"Come closer."

Dan stood on tiptoe and hesitantly approached, but he took him into his arms, the two were too close, and the heat on his body was transmitted to her arms through his clothes, and he felt inexplicably warm.

A tall shadow hung over her head, and he leaned down, as if frowning, looking a little impatient, and his hands flicked between her hair—Dan was away for a moment, and then it became clear that he was tying a headband for himself!

She was so stunned that she couldn't speak, and she was dazed, only to hear him say coldly: "Next time, keep yourself tidy, what does it look like to be so messy?" ”

She only smiled and said yes, and went straight back, but was startled by a deep shout-

"Don't you look at the road?! Behind is water! ”

At this moment, she felt cheeky as herself, and her face was also hot.

****

After sending someone to send her out, Emperor Zhaoyuan immediately walked to the agreed Chengyou Gate, but Danli's embarrassed and wry face flashed unexpectedly in front of him, he hesitated slightly, so he called a palace attendant, told a few words, and turned to leave.

In front of Chengyou's door, Xue Wen had been waiting for a long time - seeing the emperor appear on time, he hung his head in frustration.

"Why didn't you come with an urgent military business......

He muttered quietly, Emperor Zhaoyuan ignored him, the two of them rode out in civilian clothes, and after more than two hours, they came to the side of the strange peak of Zhongnan Mountain.

At this time, it was sunset and dusk, and a piece of clear gold was scattered all over the mountains, and the clouds and mist seemed to disperse a little, but they became more and more penetrating, as if they could not reach out and pull them away.

"Is this it?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan asked in a low voice.
