Huanchun almost bit her inner lip before she suppressed the urge to cry, and tried to smile and say, "Long live the lord, don't say such a thing, the mother is about to lose her temper when she hears it." As for whether Niangniang will be bullied, the emperor, can the fourth elder brother agree? ”

Xuan Ye nodded, and smiled again: "Her temper is getting bigger and bigger now, and she is all spoiled by you." ”

Huanchun said: "It's the emperor who has spoiled his mother for almost fifty years, what is a slave." ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "It's been almost fifty years?" ”

In another four years, they will be together for a full fifty years, how many people have not lived the year of the destiny, and they have been together for more than fifty years, if it is another ten years, it will be a Jiazi. But even a Jiazi Xuanye doesn't think it's long, he's afraid that he won't be able to find her in the next life, how good it would be to have a longer life in this life. But ask, "Who else is out there?" ”

Huanchun said that the eldest apprentice of the chief manager of Liang was there, so the emperor brought him in, and said that if the snow did not stop, he would go to the Forbidden City to see if there was snow in front of the Taihe Palace. Anyway, I don't discuss politics in the palace now, don't let people move around in front of the Taihe Palace in the future, and wait for the snow to be saved up day by day.

But the snow on this day is winter, the weather is not yet cold, the snow melts when it falls, the sun is shining in the next few days, and there is no snow, Xuan Ye always asks if it is snowing every morning, but since there are some snowflakes that day, the whole month has not seen snowfall, and it is easy to snow for several days in a row in the first month, but the emperor wants to put a thousand banquets, and there must be people walking in front of the Taihe Palace, and it can't be accumulated.

In the first month of the sixty-first year of Kangxi, the emperor spent Chinese New Year's Eve in Changchun Garden before moving back to the Forbidden City, and the Qianxing banquet was selected on the sixteenth day of the first month, avoiding the Lantern Festival, and the people in the palace thought that they would be busy for two days, but they didn't want the emperor to say that the Qianxing banquet was the next day, no better than the Lantern Festival. Naturally, this Lantern Festival, he just wants to spend it with someone.

It's a pity that there was no snow in front of the Taihe Palace that day, but it was mostly thin ice that was not easy to walk, but early in the morning before dawn, the emperor wanted to take Concubine De Niangniang to the Taihe Palace. Manager Liang had no choice but to order someone to pour hot water all the way to de-ice, but Xuan Ye thought they were in the way in front of him, so he knocked his cane on the ground and told them to leave quickly.

Lan Qi hugged Xuan Ye and said to him: "What kind of temper, people are either afraid that you will fall, or you are not honest, what are you doing here in the cold." ”

Xuan Ye was still in spirit, but his movements were a little slow, and he walked steadily towards the Taihe Hall step by step, standing under the high steps, raising his cane and pointing to the plaque, and said: "When I first came here as a child, I felt that the Taihe Hall was so tall, and as I grew older, I didn't pay attention to it anymore, why do I feel that he has become taller now?" ”

Lan Qi said unceremoniously: "You have become an old man, you are even smaller, and the world you see in your eyes is of course different." ”

Xuan Ye was unhappy: "Always talk about the old man, do you remember the first time you went to the Taihe Palace, I picked you up?" ”

Lan Qi smiled like a flower, shook her head and said, "Let's see if you're old and confused?" She pointed behind her and said with a smile, "The snow here is knee-high, and I will sink in a few steps, and you will carry me across this path." But when he turned around again, he met Xuan Ye's eyes, and he was looking at himself affectionately, Xuan Ye's old eyes were precipitated for decades, and now they are becoming more and more pure, as if in the last years, even the country and society have stepped aside.

"So you remember, so many years ago, I thought you forgot." Xuan Ye was satisfied, took her hand, turned around and walked up the stairs, and said with a smile, "I don't have the strength to hold you now, but I still have the strength to walk up with you." ”

They walked very slowly, it took several times as long as the year to climb to the top, just when the morning sun appeared in the east, the yellow and clear sun swayed from the sky, when they were young they came to see the sunset, but now they are old, but they come to meet the rising sun.

The golden sunlight fell on their faces, hazy with some traces of time, as if they could go back to their youth at this moment, Lan Qi heard Xuan Ye say: "I don't know if it's too late, there are still many things, I really want to do it with you." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "Let's sit together and talk, it's very happy, why bother to run around?" We also climbed Wutai Mountain together, climbed Mount Tai, and walked along the embankment of the Tiangeng River to countless people, in the south of the Yangtze River, you also went to the yamen to save me, are these things now run out and do it again? ”

Xuan Ye looked at her, his pale blood-colored lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything, and turned his face away unhappily.

Lan Qi saw that he was unhappy, so she was even happier, and asked, "So stingy, what did I say to provoke you?" ”

Xuan Ye squinted at the sunrise and said with longing: "If you can do these things again in time, even if you drink Meng Po soup, you can remember one or two things." ”

Lan Qi laughed out loud, as a woman and an imperial concubine, she hadn't laughed out loud outside for a long time, and the palace maids and eunuchs standing under the Taihe Palace could hear it.

But above the main hall, it was no longer Xiao Chang who didn't dare to stand side by side with the emperor in the past, Lan Qi hugged Xuan Ye's body, as if he wanted to be his crutch, hugged him tightly and said: "Xuan Ye, you are honest, little brother's mother, are you also coaxing like this, I used to hear you coax Concubine Yi to be happy, so that I was stunned when I heard it, and a few words can make her forget who she is." ”

Xuan Ye was full of smiles, his face was hot from the sun, but he said: "I coaxed them, but for you, I am all sincere." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "You see that you will come as soon as you open your mouth, I also believe that you are sincere, and you will really talk to me for the rest of your life, just make me happy." ”

On that day, the emperor and concubine went to the Taihe Palace, and then went elsewhere to shake it, the eunuch and the palace maid served diligently, the emperor was nearly seventy years old, and the concubine was also over sixty, and the two old people were wandering around in the cold weather, which made people worry. Finally invited the fourth elder brother in, Yin Zhen had no choice but to persuade his parents to take care of his body, but he was choked by Xuan Ye: "Now that you are going to take care of Lao Tzu Niang?" ”

Yin Zhen didn't dare to say more, and explained a few things about the Qiansu banquet, just waiting for the banquet to start tomorrow, there are so many old people gathered in the capital, and he has to send people everywhere to ask if it's good, they are all old, don't turn a good thing into a bad thing in the end.

When he left the palace, Long Keduo happened to take someone to inspect and pass by, and came up and said courteously: "If the fourth master is free, Weichen invites the fourth master to drink, the most lively place in the capital right now, the boss is still a relative of Neiko." ”

Yin Zhen glanced at it and said coldly: "When, still thinking about drinking, so many old people will enter the palace tomorrow, and the carriages and horses along the way are too busy to arrange and drink." ”

This matter has nothing to do with Long Keduo, he only needs to be in charge of customs defense tomorrow, and he also knows that the fourth elder brother is hard, so he said yes repeatedly, but as soon as the fourth elder brother walked away, he smiled disdainfully, called his subordinates over and explained a few things, and rushed home to take off his official robe, and wanted to be at ease.

And the place that Long Keduo said, since it is the most fashionable and lively place in the capital today, the children of the clan officials must have patronized it, so coincidentally, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, who were idle on this day, were drinking there by the window, condescendingly, watching the movement near the Forbidden City from a distance.

At this moment, Brother Ten was holding a wine jug in his hand, and when he saw the excitement in front of the door downstairs, he sneered: "Brother Jiu, Long Keduo is here, and there is a Hai Dongqing on his arm, he can really be scared, why don't you take a leopard to walk the street?" ”

Downstairs, Long Keduo swaggered in, shouting to open the private room upstairs, and the store greeted him and said embarrassedly that there were guests, but the ninth elder brother and ten elder brothers did not let them easily report their names and surnames, and Long Keduo regarded himself as a person from the uncle's mansion, and generally no one dared to steal his limelight, so he sneered: "Which master is it, let me see." ”

I heard Brother Ten call him at the top of the stairs: "Why didn't Tong Guowei come, I heard that he can't get out of bed anymore?" ”

Long Keduo couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that it was the tenth elder brother, and the shopkeeper muttered softly beside him: "The ninth master is also here, Tong Ye, the little one didn't lie to you." ”

Although Kolong Keduo was a little embarrassed, he didn't take these two people in his eyes, but when he arrived at the door of his eyes, the etiquette that should be there could not be inappropriate, so he hurriedly handed Hai Dongqing over to his minions and hurried upstairs. Sure enough, I saw the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother sitting in the private room in regular clothes, and there were only a few small dishes on the table, which showed that they were just killing time, and they were not here for wine and food.

Yin Yu looked at him and asked, "The tenth master just said that you have been holding Hai Dongqing, why didn't you see it?" But don't want to open our eyes? ”

Long Keduo hurriedly said: "Weichen is afraid of disturbing the two masters, and the beast has not been tamed yet." ”

Brother Ten sneered: "Then you are not afraid to take it on the street and pounce on the old and weak women and children?" ”

Long Keduo explained repeatedly: "I have a chain on my feet, and I can't pounce." ”

The tenth elder brother took a sip and scolded: "Then don't you bring it, let me and the ninth master take a look, we are not as good as the old and weak women and children?" ”

Long Keduo was very embarrassed, and hurriedly shouted at the slave to come up, that Hai Dongqing fluttered his wings, his temper was not small, and the tenth elder brother asked him where he came from, Long Keduo said: "It was sent by his nephew Shun Anyan from Chengde, and he was also new, and he didn't have time to tame, so he sent it." ”

"Okay, what are you doing with this?" Brother Ten stretched out his hand to touch it, but his hand was slapped by his wings, and he scolded angrily: "Beast." ”

Brother Jiu asked, "Speaking of which, your family Shun Anyan really hasn't seen you for a few days." ”

Long Keduo said: "In Chengde, Weichen hasn't seen him for a few days. Seeing that Brother Jiu motioned for him to step forward, he carefully supported Hai Dongqing to lean over, and Brother Jiu stretched out his hand to take a look, but Hai Dongqing didn't want to be touched, and flapped his wings fiercely, his feathers flying, and even Long Keduo was blinded.

"Brute." Yin Yu seemed to be in pain from the fan, so he suddenly reached out, grabbed Hai Dongqing's neck, and threw it to the side, dragging Long Keduo with his arm over, Long Keduo bumped on the corner of the table, and when he recovered and got up, he watched Brother Jiu break Hai Dongqing's neck alive.
