Chapter 699: The Youthful Spirit at the Time
Fu Cheng followed Huo Qingzhuo over.
Huo Qingzhuo peeled the radish and chopped the vegetables as if no one was around.
Crisp white fingers, dexterously moving on the cutting board.
The kitchen was clean and there were few things.
Fu Cheng knows what kind of life she has been living all these years.
Originally, when Yin Zhaolin was still there, he got along with her like a friend who didn't interfere with each other, leaving Lizhi alone to take care of her, and rarely came to see her.
Her days in the palace were dull, but not bitter.
Later, he crossed over and inherited all the memories of Yin Zhaolin, only to know that this so-called concubine had more than ten years of entangled feelings with Yin Zhaolin and Song Qing.
However, he didn't have any pity for her, she was just a tool to hold the Song family hostage.
Now, it's time to let this tool do its job.
Fu Cheng stared at her hand and said softly: "Song Qing has been waiting for you for so many years, you really don't want to go out and live with him?" ”
Huo Qingzhuo's action of chopping vegetables paused slightly, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he soon continued to cut vegetables.
"Whether I can go out or not depends on how the emperor arranges it? What qualifications do I have to think. ”
Huo Qingzhuo slowly and carefully cut the radish in his hand, one by one as thin as a hair.
The spicy radish soup with vermicelli is a dish on the grassland that dispels dampness and cold.
This dish was often made for Yin Zhaolin and Song Qing.
Huo Qingzhuo's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.
……
Twelve years ago, Song Qing, who had just come to the capital, was still an unknown teenager, and because he had learned people, he became the guest of Yin Zhaolin, who was still the prince at the time.
Both of them are people with both talents and intelligence, and their crowns are covered with Beijing, and the two of them are the most prosperous, stirring up the turmoil in the capital.
And she was just a horse breeder at the royal horse farm.
She should never have had a chance to be associated with these two high-ranking men in her life, but fate came so ingeniously.
On that day, Yin Zhaolin and Song Qing and a few other princes raced horses together, and the young people were full of spirit and high morale.
However, in the second half of the competition, it suddenly rained heavily.
Most of the princes have returned, and Song Qing has also returned, but only the crown prince is missing.
Some people say that the prince chased a wild leopard, ran over a suspension bridge, and went to the dense forest on the other side of the suspension bridge.
The royal family had sent guards to search, but Song Qing was relieved of his friends and followed.
Huo Qingzhuo heard someone say that the reason why the prince disappeared was because the horse he was riding was out of control, so he ran into the forest.
All the horses there were raised by Huo Qingzhuo's father, and she was afraid that if something happened to the prince, she and her father would be implicated, so she also quietly went to look for it.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to reach the other side of the suspension bridge, a strong wind blew by, and the suspension bridge suddenly broke.
Just when Huo Qingzhuo thought she was about to fall, someone grabbed her and rescued her.
After she was safe, she found out that the person who grabbed her was Song Qing.
In order to save her, Song Qing had a long scratch on his arm, but he didn't care about his wound at all, but asked Huo Qingzhuo if he was okay first.
Knowing that she was fine, the two went together to find Yin Zhaolin.
They found it dark in the rain, and they didn't find Yin Zhaolin's whereabouts, but Song Qing gradually couldn't hold on because of excessive blood loss and rain, and fell in front of her.
The wind and rain that day were too great, and the chill was biting on my body.
Huo Qingzhuo's limbs were extremely stiff.
Her own eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, but she thought that her life-saving benefactor might die, so she still gritted her teeth and helped Song Qing to a cave.
When the two were temporarily safe, she lost consciousness.
In the drowsiness, she felt that the temperature of her body was disappearing little by little, and her consciousness was gradually peeling off.
Just as she felt like she was about to die, a wave of heat came over her.
Song Qing's voice was so light that it was almost inaudible, but it was extremely powerful in her ears.
He said, "Hold on, we won't die." ”
She opened her eyes slightly and saw that Song Qing was also bloodless, but his gaze was so firm.
That night, Huo Qingzhuo slept in his arms.
There were many times in her sleep when she felt like she was about to sink into darkness, but there was always a voice that said, "Hold on, hold on......"
The next day, the weather was clear, and Huo Qingzhuo survived.
When she woke up, she saw Song Qing bandaging her wounds, and he also survived.
Later, they found Yin Zhaolin in another cave, and the horse died at the entrance of the cave where he was.
They couldn't tell what happened at the time, Huo Qingzhuo recognized that it was a horse she raised with her own hands, knew that it was very well-behaved, and couldn't imagine why it suddenly lost control.
The three of them couldn't investigate it at the time, so they left first.
However, the suspension bridge connecting to the outside world had been broken, and the three of them could only walk another way, and they walked for more than half a month before returning to Beijing.
In the past half a month, they have been commensurate with three brothers and sisters, and along the way, the relationship between the three of them has become deeper.
Song Qing and Yin Zhaolin both cared about Huo Qingzhuo.
Although none of them were spoken, everyone knew that the unknown love had already happened between the three people.
After returning to Beijing, they guessed that the person who was doing the tricks on the horse turned out to be a minister in the court who had a disagreement with Yin Zhaolin.
The minister was quibbling, and Yin Zhaolin had no other way to identify him.
Huo Qingzhuo has been with horses since she was a child, she is familiar with everything about horses, she asked Yin Zhaolin to send someone to find the horse's corpse, and found out that it was the horseshoes that were destroyed, which would cause the horse's hooves to be uncomfortable and uncontrollable.
And the marks on the horseshoe fit the minister's sword.
They succeeded in capturing the minister.
After the incident, Song Qing and Yin Zhaolin continued to be good to Huo Qingzhuo together.
At that time, Huo Qingzhuo was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, she didn't know what love was, and she couldn't tell the difference between friendship and love.
Yin Zhaolin liked Huo Qingzhuo's cleverness and alertness, he made a move before Song Qing and asked to marry Huo Qingzhuo.
Huo Qingzhuo was struggling at the time, but she felt that the first person to speak should be the one who loved her more, so she agreed to marry Yin Zhaolin.
However, the first emperor did not want his most valued prince to marry the daughter of a groom.
In order to completely cut off Yin Zhaolin's thoughts, he married Huo Qingzhuo.
At that time, Song Qing and Yin Zhaolin were unable to confront the first emperor, and this matter could only end in tragedy.
The first emperor never favored Huo Qingzhuo, and soon became seriously ill.
Later, the first emperor died.
Those concubines who have given birth to children were taken to the palace outside the palace to take care of them.
Those who have never given birth to children will either go to the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha or go to the Imperial Mausoleum.
Huo Qingzhuo was the only one who was canonized as a concubine by Yin Zhaolin, stayed in the palace, and got an isolated bamboo forest for her.
In previous years, Yin Zhaolin also often came to visit her.
But both of them knew that this relationship was impossible, and they abided by etiquette and did not cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Later, Yin Zhaolin slowly let go.
He has a queen and a concubine, and he has to fulfill the responsibility of an emperor, and it is impossible to waste time for a woman.
And Huo Qingzhuo and Song Qing...... Who cares if you can let it go or not.
