Chapter 55: A Lifetime to Follow
Driving alone, the winter snow is not in a hurry, so let the carriage walk slowly on the boulevard, casually looking at the scenery on both sides, and the mood seems to be quite comfortable.
But in the midst of the faint chirping of birds, Dongxue suddenly stopped the carriage, half-turned, and shouted coldly: "Who's behind!" β
The branches of the tree trembled, and then slowly came out, looked at Dongxue, showed a bright smile, and said, "Hehe, I was still discovered by you." β
With a slight frown, Dongxue asked in surprise, "Zuo Xiangfeng, why are you?" β
Touching the back of his head, Zuo Xiangfeng showed a weak smile and said, "That, you and I stop by the way, I also want to go to Tengsnake Mountain, haha, otherwise we will go together." β
Compared with Zuo Xiangfeng's optimism, Dongxue's expression was obviously displeased, and he asked, "How do you know that I am going to Tengsnake Mountain?" β
"Uh......" Zuo Xiangfeng quickly searched for a reason in his mind, but he felt that any of them would be ruthlessly pierced by Dongxue, so he simply ruthlessly said: "I know you left the palace to avoid me, but I won't let you get your way!" Don't try to catch a glimpse of me, go away alone. β
Looking at the left wind helplessly, Dongxue said, "You think too much, right?" I just left here to practice, what does it have to do with you? β
"It's just practice?" Zuo Xiangfeng didn't seem to believe it, looked back at Dongxue's belongings, pouted and said, "If you practice, you have to bring so many things?" It's like taking refuge. I know, my enthusiasm confuses you, but you don't have to run so far to Tengsnake Mountain, right? β
Dongxue sighed, secretly thinking that this man was really getting more and more arrogant, and he could even say such straightforward words. Not wanting to continue to waste time on this, Dongxue drove his horse on, and when he passed by Zuo Xiangfeng, he hummed: "I'm too lazy to tell you again!" β
"I don't want to talk about it now, so I'll talk about it later. Anyway, it's a long road, and we have time! With a grin, a horse came out from behind the bushes, soared into the air, and chased after the figure of the winter snow.
Facing the breeze, Zuo Xiangfeng's heart is not calm, especially knowing that there is another man who sacrificed himself to fulfill him and Dongxue, which makes Zuo Xiangfeng more determined in his heart, to work hard to give Dongxue happiness, no matter how far you go, you will always follow her, forever!
***
In the quiet garden, an unusually beautiful woman is unfolding a book of Kyushu Chronicles, reading a passage on it softly and carefully, and the history of the bloody rain in the past years has become soft and friendly in the soft murmur of the woman's mouth.
The boy in the woman's arms pointed to the above passage and asked, "Mother, why did Emperor Chaoxi kill Gu Nianxin?" Isn't Gu Nianxin Emperor Chaoxi's teacher? β
The woman caressed the top of the boy's soft hair and said kindly: "Because Gu Nianxin is trying to shake the imperial power of Emperor Chaoxi. Gu Nianxin was originally an old minister of the court, not only did he not be able to assist Emperor Chaoxi, but he was co-opted by rebel forces and became a weapon to suppress the emperor, and after Emperor Chaoxi ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to get rid of him. β
"So, will Daddy kill his teacher too?"
The woman rubbed the boy's forehead with her chin affectionately, and said funny: "Silly boy, Gu Nianxin was killed because he betrayed Emperor Chaoxi, your father's teacher is his right-hand man, why did he want to kill?" Look at things from the root, not at the surface, everyone is the same, you know? β
The boy nodded as if he didn't understand, and looked at his mother in confusion.
Passing by the mother and son, the maid helplessly held the fruit, and said a little unbearably, "Niangniang, the eldest prince is only three years old, you can't teach him to read some family names, or fly a kite in this good weather." β
Yoyo raised his head, Baili Lan looked at Xia Yu and smiled: "It's not that I don't want to play with him, but Nianhua likes these things." Since he likes it, I don't force it, so I develop with his preferences. β
Putting the fruit next to the two, Xia Yu bent down and looked at Nangong Nianhua, and saw that the boy looked at Kyushu Zhi with a frown on his brows, as if he could really study something. Xia Yu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, softened his voice, and said, "The eldest prince, the weather is so good today, how about we go kite flying?" The kite made by Xia Yu is very beautiful, it flies far and wide, and it is very beautiful to fly into the sky. How about we go out? β
Nangong Nianhua raised his eyes slightly, only glanced at Xia Yu, then lowered his head and continued in the Kyushu Chronicles, and said in a milky voice: "Don't, I don't want to play such a childish game!" β
"Child...... Childish? Xia Yu was stunned, his eyes widened and he explained, "The eldest prince, the slave wants to play with you, you ......"
"Okay, you better go play with the kite by yourself," just when Xia Yu was running out of words, Chunfeng walked up to everyone with a smile and said jokingly.
Although she was ridiculed, but she could see the spring breeze, Xia Yu still showed a bright smile, ran to her side and looked her up and down, and then said: "It's only been a month, and your belly is already so big." β
Gently stroking his round belly, the spring breeze smiled and saluted to Baililan.
"Alright, I don't have that many courtesies here, you can come and sit down." Seeing that the spring breeze was about to give a salute, Baili Lan hurriedly greeted her, "You are also about to become a mother, you should be careful." β
Baili Lan beckoned to Chunfeng, and after Chunfeng walked to his side, he couldn't help but say, "If I'm not mistaken, you've been in this body for eight months, right?" β
"yes, I'm going to give birth in a month." When it comes to his soon-to-be-born child, the spring breeze is also full of smiles, gentle and loving.
This result made Bai Lilan both happy and a little melancholy, and said: "A few of you also learn more from Chunfeng, and you will soon be mothers, and you have a lot of speed." Look at you again, one or two of them are single for me, when will I be able to marry myself off! β
Hearing this, Xia Yu hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Niangniang, the spring breeze has been married, and Dongxue is not here, if the slave maid and Qiushuang also leave your side, then who will serve you?" There's always someone to stay. β
"Aren't there many who can serve people? Don't use this as an excuse. Bai Lilan saw through Xia Yu's trick at a glance, and said sarcastically, "If you stay by my side and can't marry, people will think that I, the queen, don't think about you." You said that there are so many good men in the world, but no one can get into the eyes of the two of you? Tell me what kind of husband you want to find. Xia Yu, even if you don't like He Che, then you tell me a standard you like, and I'll let you go to the whole of Kyushu for you. And you Qiushuang, I didn't introduce you to young talents, didn't you like any of them? β
Faced with such a clichΓ©, Xia Yu was so anxious that his face was red, and after scratching his ears and cheeks, he said: "Niangniang, the slave hasn't met the right one yet." This...... If you can't touch the right one, you can't make it not? Don't worry about slaves. β
"I don't worry about you, who cares about you?" Bai Lilan seemed to be more and more angry, and almost scolded the noses of the two of them, "You two are not a small elder, and you should also think about your own life's events, you can't keep being muddy, right?" If you still can't find the so-called 'true destiny' before next year, then I will marry you casually!" β
After listening to Baili Lan's words, Xia Yu was a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to divert from such a topic. Still Qiushuang was smart, looked at Nangong Nianhua, and then said with a smile: "Niangniang, the eldest prince is still here, isn't it appropriate to talk about this?" β
Hearing this, Baili Lan looked sideways at Nangong Nianhua, stroked his soft hair, and showed a warm smile. But in the next moment, when Bai Lilan looked at Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang, her face changed again, and she scolded: "You guys, it's better to let me worry about a child!" β
"The slaves and maids naturally don't dare to compare with the eldest prince," Qiushuang's smile did not change, and she said softly and humbly as she stood beside Bai Lilan. And her attitude also made Bai Lilan unable to open her mouth to reprimand, so she could only look at her angrily and helplessly.
"You, such a smart brain can't always be used for strategy, it's time to think about your future." Bai Lilan sighed helplessly, and then said, "No matter what Xia Yu is, He Che is still waiting for her." But what about you? It's time to find someone you like to settle down. Okay, I won't say much more, or you'll think I'm verbose again. Really, what a vigorous and resolute person I was, and now I have been dragged down by you to become what I am now, hey! β
Bai Lilan's complaint couldn't help but make a few maidservants chuckle, and Nangong Nianhua on the side saw that everyone was laughing, so he couldn't help asking: "Mother, didn't the aunts make you angry, why are they still laughing?" β
Hearing this, Baili Lan leaned down, looked at Nangong Nianhua's eyes and said, "Because they have no heart and no lungs, Nianhua should not be like them when he grows up, let his mother worry, you know?" β
"Hmm." Nangong Nianhua nodded vigorously. The moment his eyes turned, Nangong Nianhua saw the shadow on the sundial, and couldn't help but say, "Mother, today is the day when Mr. Qingfeng comes to the palace to teach me, and this hour Mr. Qingfeng is about to arrive, and the retainer will go to prepare first." β
"Yes, today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It's hard for you to keep remembering, child, go ahead and prepare, don't let Mr. wait for you. With a light smile and kissed Nangong Nianhua's forehead, Baili Lan handed him over to the grandmother who was serving the eldest prince, and watched them go away. When Baili Lan couldn't see Nangong Nianhua, she turned to look at Qiu Shuang and asked, "Qingfeng is coming this time, how long will you stay?" β
