He Xiao lowered his head and said, "My subordinates don't dare." [No pop-ups. 】”
"If you don't dare, you're blaming." Chu Qiao smiled bitterly, the smile lines crossed the corners of his mouth, and it was fleeting, "Whether you believe it or not, you and I have fought side by side for many years, I have always regarded you as my best friend, and I am leaving, not abandoning you." ”
"I understand." He Xiao raised his head suddenly, his eyes were as calm as ever, and he was no longer as majestic as he was on the battlefield. He said quietly, "I never blame you, you just thought about us and arranged the best way out for us, I know all of this." ”
This is the first time He Xiao has addressed Chu Qiao as you and me, he looked at her quietly, and said slowly: "Over the years, I have watched you come step by step, and I fully understand the bitterness in your heart. I sometimes think that maybe I was selfish in the first place, and if I could have figured it out, I would never have let the situation push you to such a situation. Even if the envoy of the southwest town government became a bandit and was annihilated, he should not let you bear this responsibility and confront the king of Yan, so that you can get to the field you are today. ”
Chu Qiao shook her head, she wanted to say that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between her and Yan Xun, even if there was no envoy from the Southwest Town, there would be other reasons, and the problem would break out sooner or later, it was just a matter of delay.
He Xiao didn't wait for her to speak, and said directly: "After all, you are just a young woman, but we were all ignored at that time. ”
He raised his head, smiled very gently, like an elder looking at his junior, and said softly: "Your Majesty said that only when you completely abandon the past can you get true peace. I no longer call you an adult, not because I am resentful and estranged, but I hope that you can put down your burden and live for yourself for once. ”
The dew deposited on the leaves fell with a thud, splashing on Chu Qiao's soft and white embroidered shoes, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of emotion rose from her heart, so sour.
"Although Bian Tang is warm, but now the climate is cold, the girl should go back early."
After saying that, he got out of the way and wanted to let Chu Qiao leave, but Chu Qiao suddenly shouted, "Brother He." ”
He Xiao was stunned, and suddenly raised his head to look at her.
Chu Qiao said in a deep voice: "You and I have been together for many years, and we have lived and died together many times, you and I seem to be comrades-in-arms, and even more like relatives." ”
Xiao Xiao's wind passed through the forest, He Xiao's eyes trembled slightly, and for a long time, he still maintained that posture and quietly took a step back, and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to go to the southwest to take up my post, maybe, there will be no chance to meet again." ”
Sure enough, he already knew.
Chu Qiao's fingertips were slightly cold, and looking at He Xiao's silent figure, he only felt a trace of sourness lingering in his throat. She nodded quietly, said "Take care", and turned to go down the pavilion.
As soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly heard a voice sounding quietly behind him, "Xiao Qiao, take care all the way." ”
She suddenly turned around, but saw He Xiao still standing quietly in that posture, the wind blew through his clothes, the cyan court robe had a blue sea cloud pattern on it, and a bundle of pale blue on the waist, which was already worn, was still the belt in the beautiful army back then. He just stood quietly, without even raising his head, as if what he had just said was not what he had said.
Chu Qiao stood silent for a moment, then finally turned his head and walked in a random direction.
After a few turns, Shang Lin Yuan finally couldn't see anymore, Chu Qiao raised his head, but found that he had inadvertently come to Fran Mountain outside the Roufu Palace.
The name of the mountain, in fact, is just a fake stone of the base, the surface is all piled up with white jade carving, it looks crystal clear, it can be called a great victory of Jinwu Palace. But Chu Qiao looked at this white rockery at the moment, and only felt that the coldness in her heart was spreading, like a worm with tentacles, trapping her in a circle.
"Miss?" Mei Xiang exclaimed with some concern.
Chu Qiao didn't speak, his eyes froze slightly, looking at a few wax plums on the rockery, but he seemed to have penetrated there and seen far, far away.
"Miss, in this world, everyone has different thoughts, but you only have one heart, and you can't take care of so many people."
Mei Xiang's words sounded in her ears, but Chu Qiao didn't seem to hear clearly, the wind was so strong, she suddenly felt a little sad.
"Commander He has followed you for so many years, and in time, he will definitely understand. There is no feast in the world, and you should not be too sad. ”
Chu Qiao turned his head, suddenly stretched out his hand to hug Mei Xiang's shoulder, and said softly: "Mei Xiang, if you want to go, let him go." ”
Chu Qiao clearly felt Mei Xiang's body suddenly shake, and her back was straight, like an alarmed rabbit. After a long time, a pair of arms slowly wrapped around Chu Qiao's back, and Mei Xiang's voice whispered in Chu Qiao's ear: "I am reluctant to lead He, but I am even more reluctant to miss." ”
The afternoon sun shone on the ground in white, and the sky was so high that there was not a single cloud in sight.
"Miss, don't worry about others anymore, Young Master Zhuge is not a completely good person, but he is the only one in heaven and earth who is dedicated to Miss. For the sake of Miss, he is willing to kill people and set fire to become a demon, and he is willing to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, such a person can't find a second one with a lantern. ”
Mei Xiang suddenly laughed, "As for Commander He, he will always see it, just like me, this kind of thing can't come reluctantly." Each of us will have our own causes. ”
The freedom of the blue sea and blue sky has been what she has been praying for for many years.
Chu Qiao raised his head, and vaguely seemed to see the man's light eyes, the cold wind, the rain and clouds in the Great Xia court, is he okay?
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and this year experienced repeated turmoil, perhaps in order to dilute the decadent atmosphere after the war, under the strong invitation of hundreds of officials, Li Ce ordered to vigorously organize the Spring Banquet, and did everything he could to extravagantly.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Li Ce invited a banquet to hundreds of officials in the palace of the country, opened a one-year examination to present his feelings, praised those with excellent political achievements this year, gave officials above three grades the honor of eating in the same hall, and personally made the next poem of a thousand autumns, instructed the attendants to copy it, and each courtier presented a piece.
The harem is also a lantern knot, the drinking banquet is placed all the way from the Yixin Palace to the Shangqing Palace, the color workshop is continuous, the lanterns are innumerable, the auspicious pattern such as longevity and boundlessness is formed with the colorful silk lanterns, the rivers and mountains are eternal, etc., pasted on the vermilion wall and blue tiles, the gold is brilliant, the splendid lanterns, the singing and dancing are pervasive, a magnificent color.
Li Ce came to invite Chu Qiao to the banquet several times, but she didn't like the grandiose liveliness, so she lightly prevaricated, and only took a group of palace maids to clean and prepare in her own palace, and held a banquet by herself to prepare the New Year's utensils.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, a number of green cloth carriages drove into the main gate of Jinwu Palace, and after a report, they came all the way to Mi Heju. However, after the carriage arrived, boxes of things were moved down, but it caused a sensation in the entire harem, and all the palace maids rushed to Mi Heju to find out, and even some of the ladies who couldn't hold their breath also rushed over.
There were twenty carriages and two hundred boxes of large and small Nanmu boxes. After opening the box, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, full of pearlescent light. Jadeite, emerald stone, ruby, cat's eye, white jade, east pearl, splendid long yarn, Suzhou embroidered silk, precious furs, antiques, calligraphy and painting, etc., all the luxuries that the world can imagine, almost condensed in front of the eyes. Not only that, but there are also some girls like Zhu Hai, Yingluo, palace clothes, jade shoes, jewelry, everything. High-grade flowers, complete corals that are more than three feet high, rare orchid grasses, curtains inlaid with pearls in the east, jade Ziming that can shine at night, and some rare objects from overseas, such as matches, binoculars, glass ornaments, simple chiming bells, women's dresses, as well as precious specialties of Hudi, and various medicinal herbs that are more expensive than gold.
What's even more ironic is that there are also several boxes of very rough local products that look similar to sweet potatoes. Chu Qiao took it and studied it for a long time before she suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the Qinghai soil melon he had written to describe to herself, she leaned into her nose and smelled it, there was a slight hint of aroma, and a faint sweetness suddenly appeared in her heart, only to feel that all the pearls and jades together were not as good as these ugly soil melons.
Presumably, the locals heard that the king of Qinghai wanted this thing with all his heart, not only was it very big, but also tied a red line on each melon, which was wrapped in a red muslin cloth, which looked nondescript.
A small letterhead was placed in the melon, she picked it up, and opened the gold thread with her tender white fingers, only to see that a large article was written in extremely thin and flying handwriting.
He is always like this, even if he writes letters, it is in an awkward tone, from the weather to political affairs to the development of the local economy, like a cordial meeting between two heads of state, only at the end of each careful reminder: pay attention to the door, be careful before going to bed doors and windows, and guard against villains.
Once Li Ce was half angry when he saw Zhuge Yue's trust, and scolded Zhuge Yue for being a veritable villain, and he actually slandered others behind his back. Chu Qiao looked at the man who secretly opened other people's letters but was righteous and awe-inspiring, and only felt that what the two of them said was true.
Today's letterhead is not very long, after a short beginning, the pen and ink seem to be much thicker, but I think the man has been meditating for a long time, the ink is dry, and he is dipped in ink again: Something is haunted, wait for me.
There was a noise of exclamation all around, Chu Qiao held a thin letterhead in his hand, but he only felt that the surroundings were calm and gentle, the wind was silent, the swallows were crying, the flowers were bright and green, even though the winter was cold, his heart was still full of spring and scenery.
That night, Chu Qiao and a group of palace maids such as Mei Xiang, Jingjing and Qiu Sui gathered in Mi He Juli, Chu Qiao personally cooked, although the cooking skills were average, but their cooking methods still scared these guys stunned. At first, everyone was still a little restrained, but gradually they let go.
At midnight, fireworks suddenly went off outside, Chu Qiao and the palace people ran to the courtyard, stood under the osmanthus tree and looked up, looking at the silver flowers of the fire tree in the sky, the bright colors sprinkled on their faces, and their expressions were flying.
Jingjing and Ping'an took the little maids to set off firecrackers, the crackling sound sounded in their ears, Chu Qiao covered his ears and was surrounded by everyone in the center, his face was red, and he was wearing a fluffy new jacket, like a child who had not grown up.
How many years have she been here, and this is the happiest New Year she has ever had.
Even if the person in my heart is not around, the years are still quiet and tranquil.
There was still laughter outside, Chu Qiao crouched in front of the desk, and sketched out two vivid Q version cartoon characters with a few strokes, with a big head on a small body, one smart and delicate, the other serious and awkward, two villains stood on the high hillside and looked ahead side by side, faintly revealing a little silly cuteness. In front of them was a vast grassland, with herds of cattle and sheep, and in the far distance, a large expanse of green water.
She wrote two words at the end of the letterhead with the utmost seriousness: Waiting for you.
No longer admonishing, no longer listening and asking, she thought, she must be completely selfish once, but also seriously willful once, and believe once.
Putting down the letterhead, she put on her cloak and ran out to find Mei Xiang and them, who knew that as soon as she walked out of the main hall, a handful of white petals came to her, like a handful of snow, sprinkled on her.
Everyone laughed in unison, and the sound penetrated the fire trees and silver flowers of Jinwu Palace, and spread out flutteringly.
Just look at the refreshing one
