Time in the mountains is like flowing water, the morning dawn rises, and the evening comes.

In the blink of an eye, twelve days have passed.

In the past twelve days, Xuanyuan Chen has cooked almost all the good things that can be eaten in the cracks between the mountains.

Hares, wild birds, clear fish, strange fruits......

Sometimes, we watch the sunset together. Sometimes, we go down to the river to catch fish together, and other times, we just snuggle up or back to back, just in a quiet daze.

Listen to the soft cry of wild birds, listen to the murmuring of water, let time slip quietly between the two of us.

I never thought that life could be so peaceful, thinking about nothing, not calculating anything, just enjoying the time and being quiet.

In this way, another day passed, and when I woke up in the morning in the wooden pavilion, Xuanyuan Chen leaned over and kissed me, brought the boiled soup, and when I had eaten, he led me to the stream.

"Little girl." After a few moments in the sun, he called me softly.

"Hmm." I lazily responded.

He picked up a strand of my black hair, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Tomorrow, let's go down the mountain, I want to take you back to the palace to see the imperial brother." ”

"Okay." I nodded.

I've been in the mountains for nearly half a month, and it's time to go down and have a look.

July......

Luzhu became a parent last year, and at this time, she is about to give birth......

With a slight smile, I drilled into Brother Chen's arms again.

The sun in the mountains is just right, warm on the body, smelling the violet flowers on his body, I feel very relieved, I can't help but close my eyes, slowly, I actually fell asleep.

In a daze, I heard a chuckle, something soft touched my forehead, and my body soared, and after a while, it seemed that there was a quilt covering my body.

Wake up in the morning, it's another good day.

There is no one in the mountains, both of us are showing their true faces, and now they are going down the mountain, because there are various countries in the palace, I and I have changed their faces in civilian clothes, soaked the thin leather masks, and brought them on their faces, and it is really like a different person.

Without further ado, go straight down the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain all the way north, half an hour later, to a grass house, Mingqi heard the sound and hurriedly came to open the door, saw the two of us after the face was slightly stunned, but did not ask anything.

Led the carriage out, and when the two of us got into the carriage, he whipped the horse, and after a "......" sound, the rut "creaked...... "Squeak", half an hour later, they arrived at the Imperial City of the Middle Continent.

This is the downtown area, and I listened to the stalls outside the car and couldn't help but pick up the curtain to see.

Those who sell sugar gourds, those who pinch the Tang people, those who sell rouge gouache, and those who make candied cakes.........

A whole street is bustling and lively.

When I first arrived in Chukuri, I also walked around the market a few times.

After a few years in Xiqi, I feel that the folk customs of Xiqi are simple enough, but compared with here, it is still a little worse.

I thought that the road was not forgotten, and the house was not closed at night, it was just a wish, but here it has become an extremely ordinary thing, everyone is in harmony with the neighborhood, you come and go, so lively.

Most of them are monogamous here, and it is common to see young couples shopping hand in hand, or white-haired old men holding their wives and sitting in the sun together.

Somehow, I saw the gray-haired appearance of me and Brother Chen decades later.

Will he take my hand and kiss me when I wake up in the morning, as he does now?

I think it would, but at that moment, our teeth were all gone, and there must have been a lot of wrinkles on our faces......

I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you smiling at?" Xuanyuan Chen glanced out along the curtain and saw a stall selling sugar gourds, so he immediately asked Mingqi to stop the car, jump down and buy a few.

"Now, let's eat one." He handed over a string.

The red hawthorn was wrapped in sugar, and it looked very sweet, and I took a bite of it, and it was sweet and sour, and it was very delicious.

However, it is delicious, it seems to be a little worse than the kind of sugar gourd with the flavor of violet flowers that Xuanyuan Chen made for me, I took two more bites, and I didn't want to eat it.

"What's wrong, don't want to eat?" He ate the hawthorn that I had bitten half of.

I nodded, and he wrapped the rest of the paper, placed it on the side of the table, and pulled out another paper bag.

"This is a pickled petal unique to the Middle Continent, you should like it, come, taste it." He picked up a thick petal. I ate it with my mouth open, and as he said, it tasted special.

However, I only ate two slices, so I didn't want to eat them, and in a flash of my mind, I actually thought of sea bass.

Xiqi's sea bass is the most tender and delicious fish I have ever tasted, and it would be nice if there was a plate of sea bass at this time......

It's been more than a month since I left Xiqi, and I don't know what the situation is over there.

My "dead" Helian Yunnuma is still like this, Ji Yunchang doesn't know what happened.

Rong Ziyang has been fighting with me since he was a child, so maybe he won't be so sad.

And Suho.

I don't know if he saw the painting I left him, but the letter to him, maybe I received it.

He was too old to stand the ups and downs, so I wrote him a letter, which also vaguely expressed some secret meanings, if he thought about it more, maybe he wouldn't be so sad......

Yes, and Gu Ling......

She was still pregnant, and I didn't know what was going on, so I hinted to her three times before, telling her not to worry too much about what happened to me, not to know if she listened.

There are also old princes Rong, Lu Fuzi, and many, many others......

Xi Qi farewell, goodbye, I'm afraid it's indefinite.

"Little girl, what's wrong with you?"

Xu was a little condensed in my face, and Xuanyuan Chen sat beside me and hugged my shoulder.

I shook my head and said softly, "It's okay, it's just in a daze." ”

He pondered for a moment and hugged me tighter, "Little girl, are you homesick?" ”

I laughed, "No, don't think about it, I just kind of want to eat the mushroom soup you cooked, when, let's go to the snowy mountains again, you are cooking it for me." ”

"Okay, wait for two days, why don't you get some things and go back, this time, you can stay as long as you want." When you get tired of it, let's change places, see other beautiful scenery, and eat other delicious things, okay? ”

"yes, okay." I nodded.

He smiled and lowered his head to touch me on the forehead.

The wheels rolled slowly, slowly through the market, and this was to the Middle-Continent Palace.

Mingqi had already put the stool away, Xuanyuan Chen jumped down, turned around and stretched out his hand, I held his hand, got out of the carriage, and stood on the ground.

My letters are all over the south and north of Xinjiang and Dongmu, but I have never intervened in the middle of the continent, and I have seen the white depictions of the palaces of several countries, but I have never seen the middle of the continent.

At this time, he stood outside the palace, but he saw that the palace luans in front of him overlapped, the eaves and tiles were meandering, and his scale and luxury were compared to Dongmu and Xiqi, and he didn't know how much he won.

The nations have always had wars for many years, but this China and the mainland have always been involved in affairs, and if you talk about strength, you will naturally not lose to anyone.

"Let's go." Xuanyuan Chen grabbed me.

Walking to the guard of the forbidden army, he took out a silver medal from his waist pocket, the forbidden army glanced at the general, and hurriedly bowed, "General affection." ”

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Chen answered, leading me to stride forward.

Passing through the Yingwu Palace, going up the ninety-nine white jade steps, seeing that the front was the early dynasty hall of the Zhonglu Emperor, he turned his steps, went around, passed through several corridors, and arrived at a simple and elegant courtyard hall.

"Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look." He turned his head and smiled, and pulled me forward as he pushed the door open and into the hall.

In this hall, the decoration is extremely elegant, and the bonsai ornaments are large porcelain vases, all of which are low-key and luxurious, and it is very comfortable to look at.

Taking me all the way to the side hall, he struck a few times on a fresco, and the painting parted in the middle, and a stone door appeared on the wall.

Then he stepped forward again, and pressed on the stone door somewhere, and with a "click......" the door opened.

"Little girl West, let's go." He dragged me in a quick flash, and it flashed through the door. Behind him, the stone door closed in response, and oil lamps suddenly lit on both sides of the dark door, and as he walked forward, new oil lamps lit themselves.

I tugged at his sleeve, "How can there be a mechanism in the palace?" ”

Xuanyuan Chen smiled, "There are many organs in the palace, all of which were left by the ancestors, and I don't know what to do." ”

I nodded, and walked with him until we reached a stone gate again.

He walked over and tinkered with the door a few times, and as it opened, he asked me suddenly.

"Little girl, what day is today?"
