Yuehua thought that when she arrived here, she would still not be able to eat and sleep on the pillow, but in fact, a few simple vegetables, porridge and side dishes, scallion oil flower rolls, the fragrance was made very carefully, and Yuehua was sweet to eat.

In the kitchen, there should be firewood, rice, oil and salt, vegetables, fish and meat, piled up, a few fat fish in the water tank under the window, and a few old hens circled behind the house, planted vegetables, and lived like a vigorous farmhouse.

At dusk, it is the good season of spring, put a table in the courtyard, four people do not distinguish between master and servant, sit around the table, at first there is a little restraint, Yuehua a few jokes, a meal of wind and clouds, all eat comfortably.

Although the four of them have their own thoughts, they are obviously in a very good mood. Chu Mubai talked about the interesting things in the army, as well as the thrilling battles, and the three of them were amazed, and they were harmonious.

A meal, from the setting sun, eat until the moon is bright and the stars are thin, and when Yuehua sleeps, the night is already deep.

The night in the maple forest is very quiet, the leaves are rustling, mixed with the "chirping" sound of unknown insects in the grass, as if stirring the moonlight like watery night, making the night gently rippling, soothing the wounds in the heart, making people feel peaceful and quiet.

This night, Yuehua slept well, feeling like she was lying in a flat boat on the lake, bathed in the moonlight, smelling the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides, the lake gently lifted and rocked the flat boat, and her heart was as pure as a newborn baby.

The next day, when the dawn of dawn pierced through the thick night and was projected into the bamboo house, Yuehua opened her sleepy eyes, and Xiangshen was already busy in the kitchen.

The rice porridge mixed with the aroma of red dates rolling around the courtyard, rushing in through the cracks in the window, Yuehua suddenly perked up.

She put on her clothes and walked out of the bamboo house, Chu Mubai was already competing with Chu Jiu in the open space not far away. The two of them flickered and moved, although they were pointed, but they had accumulated terrifying internal strength, and they were like dragons out of the sea, with a majestic momentum.

The wind was cold outside the city, and Yue Huase shrunk her shoulders, but she watched it with relish and forgot herself.

The two fought for a long time before they noticed Yuehua, retracted their momentum, and wanted to salute Yuehua.

Mo Guhan left her name as the queen, and she was still the queen of the Chang'an Dynasty.

Yuehua couldn't cry or laugh a little: "In the future, we will be under one roof, will it be possible to have all these red tapes every time we meet?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and got up like a stream.

Chu Mubai saw that her clothes were thin, and couldn't help but blame: "How long have you been standing here?" If you dress so thinly, aren't you afraid of getting sick? ”

Yuehua looked at the two of them with envy as they were sweating profusely, and a white mist had already evaporated.

"Shall I practice martial arts with you in the future?"

Chu Mubai was stunned: "Haven't you always disliked dancing knives and guns?" In the past, your father-in-law taught you kung fu, and you were often lazy and made all kinds of strange excuses. ”

Yuehua smiled embarrassedly: "I am also the daughter of General Chu of Chang'an, if I have been so sick, I have to let others help me even walk, it is too embarrassing for my father." ”

Chu Mubai was naturally happy: "It's okay, even if you can't be a heroine who is proud of the rivers and lakes, Fan Lihua who is fighting on the battlefield, you can strengthen your body." You're a little too weak now. ”

Xiangshen came out of the kitchen, heard Chu Mubai's words, and interjected: "Niangniang said for a while that she wanted to learn to cook, and for a while she said that she wanted to practice martial arts, and yesterday before going to bed, she told me to remember to go to the embroidery village to get embroidery thread, and also said that she wanted to plant carrots for the rabbit, which one do you want to be busy with?" ”

Yuehua herself couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "It turns out that I have so many things to be busy." ”

Chu Mubai wiped a handful of sweat, and when he smiled, he showed a mouthful of neat teeth: "It's better to be busy, in addition to embroidery, I and Chu Jiu can also have a good time." ”

Indeed, it is only when you are busy that you are more fulfilling, and you will not be cranky.

"Why doesn't my brother go to court today?"

"Excuse me." Chu Mubai said lightly.

Mo Guhan actually exempted him from the early dynasty? Why?

"Was it because I angered the emperor last time?"

"What's going on? It was the emperor who asked me to take a break for a few days, so I didn't have to go to court early...... He doesn't worry about you. ”

Yuehua was silent, not knowing how to respond.

After breakfast, Chu Mubai had official business to be busy, rode back to the barracks, and drove into the city on the ninth day of the new year to buy living expenses.

On the morning of the same day, Chang Lingxi got the news and came to visit with Han Yuchu, the two sat and gossiped a few words, and Chang Lingxi scolded Chang Lingyan thoroughly.

But so far, it is useless to scold, she sighed for a long time, and insisted on staying with Yuehua as a companion, lest she couldn't think about it for a while and was depressed.

Han Yuchu and her are the newlywed Yan'er, why is Yuehua embarrassed to keep her? After saying anything, he coaxed her into the carriage and returned with Han Yuchu. Before leaving, he also left Yuehua with a thousand-machine crossbow, saying that it was for self-defense, and he was afraid of bad people in this wilderness.

She and Han Yuchu don't know kung fu, so naturally they can't see the restrained essence of Chu Jiu. Yuehua has seen the power of a thousand crossbows, and when dealing with ordinary young people, they are all chicken-killing knives, so she didn't refuse, thanked them for their kindness, and accepted it with a smile.

As soon as the two of them walked on their front feet, Chang Lehou followed one after another.

He is now a whole family in the Hou Mansion, and he doesn't have to look at Lian's eyebrows and eyes in everything, so he brings a lot of supplements and daily use to Yuehua.

This uncle was really a little distressed about Yuehua, and when he saw her, he asked for warmth, and then his eyes turned red.

He felt that Yuehua had saved his only son Chang Lingrui at the beginning, and pointed out such a good family business to Ling Xi, but it was his daughter Chang Lingyan who would take revenge and harm Yuehua to such a point, he felt a little guilty and felt sorry for Yuehua. As soon as they met, they knelt on the ground and insisted on kowtowing a few times to make amends.

Yuehua is a person with clear grievances, so naturally he will not vent his anger against Chang Lingyan on Chang Lehou, not to mention that he is his elder after all. Yuehua hurriedly helped him up, and in turn he comforted him with kind words and entertained him very warmly, without showing the slightest resentment.

Chang Lehou couldn't sit still, so he gossiped a few words with a long sigh and got up to leave.

Then there is Uncle He, the housekeeper, who came to Yuehua to say goodbye, reported the business situation in the store in detail for more than half a year, and handed over the account books to her for review.

On this day, Yuehua is especially busy and fulfilling.

In the afternoon of the next day, Shao Ziqing came in person, re-opened the prescription after the pulse diagnosis, handed it to Chu Jiu, and carefully told Yuehua a few words, asking her to take care of her health.

Yuehua sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, the spring in the capital is very short, and after the wind and sand stopped, the weather will be hot and dry, so you should seize the time to enjoy the warm sun.

Shao Ziqing sat opposite her, chattering carefully sentence by sentence, tirelessly.

Yuehua listened quietly, but absent-mindedly.

Shao Ziqing finally paused: "What are you thinking?" ”

Yuehua held her chin and stared at him with her eyes: "I've been thinking, you, and the emperor, and maybe my brother, are you hiding something from me?" ”

Shao Ziqing's eyebrows jumped: "How can you say that?" ”

Yuehua lightly opened her lips and spit out two words: "Guess." ”

"But you've never been so suspicious before, and there's always a reason for it."

Yuehua thought that it was always not good for Mo Guhan to say that he had secretly gotten into his carriage, so he only said perfunctorily: "I just think that everything here is very well prepared, so I can't guess the emperor's mind for a while." ”

Shao Ziqing hooked her lips slightly, and in her warm and warm smile, she was dancing with the sunshine of late spring.

"You still want to go back to the palace, don't you? You still can't let go of the emperor? ”

Shao Ziqing's rhetorical question made Yuehua feel a little at a loss for an instant. She naturally didn't want to admit that there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, and after Mo Guhan swore to herself in the carriage, it was already sprouting, stretching out tender green branches and leaves from a barren area.

It's like when I engraved those words on the maple tree that day, the spring breeze blew the green maple forest, the green was so bright, and it was particularly eye-catching in a gray ruin.

She lowered her head and remained silent, not wanting to admit her humility.

Shao Ziqing sighed lowly: "Then Ziqing dares to ask again, does Niangniang think she likes the Forbidden City, or does she like the outside of the palace?" ”

"Naturally, it is casual and chic outside the palace, and the intrigue in the Forbidden City is like repeated thin ice, which is too hard."

"Niangniang has already told Ziqing that you don't want to enter the palace. But by mistake, you end up being out of your own hands. Now that you've finally escaped and got your wish, why would you want to go back? ”

Naturally, it is because his heart is still locked in the Forbidden City. No matter how good it is here, even if it is Penglai Wonderland, but without him, there is no Mo Guhan.

Yuehua almost blurted out, she was shocked by the thought in her heart. However, this is the case, and I still can't let go.

In the past, she was reluctant to enter the palace, and that was because she had not fallen in love with Mo Guhan. Now, as long as there is a place for him, even if the Forbidden City is a hellish illusion, she Chu Yuehua dares to break in.

Shao Ziqing ruthlessly exposed his thoughts, Yuehua was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly covered it up: "Yuehua is just confused for a while, and I can't help but want to ask, just don't say it." ”

Shao Ziqing was silent for a while, and said lonely: "Ziqing has no other intentions, just to let Niangniang be a little more free and easy in the future." Don't be shackled by love all the time and be depressed. ”

Yuehua nodded: "Thank you Shao Xiang for your kindness, I understand." ”

"No, you don't understand." Shao Ziqing said categorically: "I once passed through the gate of the four institutes in Qianxi, and I have seen the shocking scene inside, and I believe that Niangniang is no stranger to it." ”

Yuehua nodded, how could she forget? She will never forget the terrifying appearance of the crazy concubines who were locked inside, and the cold gaze of the only one who remained awake.

After the concubines inside were beaten into the cold palace, they thought about it and looked forward to it all the time, and they were looking forward to the people next to their pillows coming over to save them from fire and water. As long as there is wind and grass in the yard, they will rush out, hoping again and again, disappointed again and again, and after a long time, they can no longer bear it, and they go crazy.

In the entire cold palace, there is only one person who has always kept his mind clear, and he lives with dignity more than any of them. That's because she knows that she has no hope of leaving there at all, so her heart is like water, and she can survive the hardships in the cold palace.

Niangniang, in life, it is always good to have hope, but if you are too persistent, you will make yourself too nervous. So, in the days to come, you must adjust your mentality and don't be in a state of anxiety all the time, otherwise there will always be a day when you will collapse. ”

Shao Ziqing's persuasion, step by step, Yuehua's heart sank little by little, could it really be that he was self-inflicted, and he would mistakenly think that Mo Guhan had a last resort?

Shao Ziqing's words are very reasonable, and the scene in the cold palace is witnessed by himself. If I am like them, I may really have a trance one day, but I may not be.

Yuehua smiled bitterly: "It's me who is suspicious, it's true, he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the emperor of my Chang'an Dynasty, what can he say about his unspeakable suffering?" ”

Shao Ziqing whispered comfortingly: "Now, don't think nonsense, the most important thing is to take care of your own body." If one day, the emperor changes his mind and comes to see you, don't you want to greet him with this weak and thin appearance, right? ”
