CHAPTER XXXIX
The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and I have been with my aunt every day these days, and I am playing chess with my aunt, when I suddenly heard the sound of the emperor outside, even if I was reluctant, I had to follow my aunt out to meet me.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the emperor had already stepped into the door, the sun was shining behind him, like a huge light curtain, his eyes were as black as ink, and his calm temperament seeped out from the inside out. His gaze swept over us, and he saw a smile on my face: "Ruo'er is also there?" ”
I hurriedly greeted the emperor, and he waved his hand and smiled at me to sit down.
I sat on the side and watched the emperor and his aunt sitting on both sides of the table of the Eight Immortals, wearing the same clothes, wearing palace clothes embroidered by brilliant gold embroidery threads, and the strong ambergris fragrance came to my nose, filling every corner of the palace. I suddenly felt depressed and wanted to find my way away, but I was a little curious.
It turned out that the emperor was going to the palace, and when I heard it, my eyes had already released light, although the palace was graceful and luxurious, it was not free, and all kinds of rules were placed there, weaving a golden cage layer by layer.
"This time, you will accompany you to the palace, and you will accompany King Rui, King Jin and King Duan, and King Yi will stay in the prison country, so you don't have to go!" The emperor wiped his hands, stared at the chess game we didn't finish, and said lightly.
As soon as she heard the news of King Yi's prison country, her aunt was already full of joy, and she just agreed, smiling. I put my mind at ease, as long as my aunt goes with me, I will definitely be able to go with me, although going to the palace is not completely free, but it is better than staying in the palace! I'm satisfied!
Since Hao Qian went to the northwest to lead the troops, I always looked at the jade bracelet on my wrist, but I didn't expect that there would be such a long separation after that side, what can I do?! I was secretly disappointed......
The early spring sunshine with its unique warmth, sprinkled on the Zhengyuan Hall, I watched the distant towers and water pavilions, the towering city walls, and the receding streets gradually drifting away behind me, and my mood couldn't help but fly. I sat in the carriage with my aunt, and I couldn't help it.
"Are you bored?" My aunt looked at me lovingly, I pouted slightly, shook my aunt's sleeve, she didn't know what I was thinking, and finally smiled and nodded, I cheered, opened the window, and called a personal guard: "Go and prepare a horse for me!" ”
"No need to prepare!" A familiar voice suddenly came, and I looked back and saw that it was He Zhengqing, it turned out that he was also here!
I waved to him happily, and he hurried over, greeted my aunt through the car, and then said to me, "Come out, I'll take you on a horse!" ”
My aunt nodded, and I happily lifted the curtain of the car, and there were two eunuchs outside who were about to help me, but before I could get out of the carriage, he had already grabbed my arm and pulled hard, and I was already firmly seated in his arms, and he put his hands around my waist, and then gently shook the reins, and the horse walked forward slowly, with a steady pace.
The sun is shining, the official road is simple, Zhengqing holds the reins of the horse and wraps me in his arms, the horse runs fast, attracting the attention of many people along the way. I'm a little curious, this is not He Zhengqing's style. Thinking of Jiayi, who stayed in the palace this time and couldn't go out, I suddenly felt a little regretful, if she was there, she would definitely hope that Zhengqing would accompany her on horseback.
The wind blew past my ears, and I couldn't help but shrink into his arms. His chin rubbed my hair lightly, and I could feel the smile on his lips.
"What's wrong with you?" After a while, we finally left the mighty team behind, and he slowed down.
"Nothing!" He avoided talking about it, but I could clearly see that he had something on his mind.
He simply put the reins down, just wrapped around my waist to prevent me from falling off my horse. He kept silent, I seemed to guess something, and I didn't ask, let alone verify. After a long time, he took a piece of jade pendant to me, I was a little strange, raised his eyes from his arms to look at him, his eyes were a little evasive, but insisted on stuffing the jade pendant in my hand, and whispered in my ear: "Ruo'er, no matter at any time, as long as you need me, my life can be handed over to you." ”
I was frightened by him, and then I went to ask, but he didn't say a word, and my tears suddenly began to fall, and he seemed to panic, and took me in his arms, and the tears dripped down my cheeks on the placket of his clothes, and in a moment they were already in a thick ......
After a long time, he sent me back to the camp, and on the way back, I saw Ling Haoxuan standing in front of the camp. It's just that when I passed by, I obviously saw a cold smile on the corner of Ling Haoxuan's lips......
After walking for three days, I finally arrived at the palace. Although it is not as magnificent as the palace, it is also quite distinctive. My aunt was considerate of me and had a lively temperament, so she didn't force me to live with her, and arranged a courtyard for me, so I was naturally happy.
Since the concubine, Ling Haoqing was a little awkward when he saw me, I know his thoughts, but I also know his mother's thoughts, they are looking forward to their sons being able to take concubines and establish a mansion every day, with the title, they can walk in the court, in order to win over the ministers, and establish their own strength, Yifei Niangniang's two sons, there will always be some unrealistic fantasies, this is also human nature......
I woke up in the morning, it was already three poles on the day, the days out of the palace were really much better, I hurriedly freshened up, and went to the garden to wander, the spring was just right, I walked on the black hillside full of iris, under the infection of the green forest flowers that a touch of spring color was heavier than a touch, quietly moving forward.
The figure in front of me floated, and I took a closer look, He Zhengqing was walking out of the emperor's bedroom with several ministers. I quickly ducked aside and waved to him from afar. His face was as usual, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and after a few words with a few adults around him, he hurried in my direction.
"I've found a good place, let's go play together!" I pulled him along the path into the woods. He smiled even more, took my hand with his backhand, didn't ask anything, and followed me obediently.
We walked to a lake, the lake was very beautiful, a large lotus leaf emerged from the water and swayed in the wind, and the green bushes set off the slim lotus flowers. When the wind blew, lotus leaves and lotus canopies collided with each other, and suddenly there was a "whoosh" sound.
I looked for a small boat, and he was surprised: "How did you find such a beautiful place?" ”
I smiled lightly and flashed a pair of pear vortices: "I took a turn yesterday and happened to see a small boat here. ”
He smiled and untied the rope and helped me to the boat, he slowly rowed the oars, the long figure was reflected in the lake water sparkling and moving, the plain clothes and wide sleeves fluctuated with the gestures, the lake water was as beautiful as a streamer, and the gorgeous and soft ripples rippled lightly everywhere, the lotus blossoms were extremely prosperous, and the reflection in the full green was more pleasing to the eye, and the wisps of fragrance came to the nose, I picked the huge lotus leaves, and put them on my head to cover the sun, he smiled at me.
"Shall I sing to you?" I was a little embarrassed to make him look at it.
He agreed with a faint smile, his eyes were slightly curved, his delicate facial features were full of elegant lines, and his shallow smile was like a wisp of breeze cutting through the water, bringing a little spot of light on the water waves like silver.
"A breeze is half tender
Ethereal feelings are sorrowful in the autumn wind
The cold night moon is silent
The wind and rain fall
Drunk leaning on the river tower and listening to the rain falling
……
Looking back, raising your sleeves and brushing the sunset slanting
I still remember the thousands of trees and flowers that year
Green silk dyes white snow
Shaohua negative year
Prosperous sheng songs, tea and twilight
……”
It was so quiet that it seemed like it was just the two of us in the world, and I could almost hear his heartbeat, and I could hear his tears slowly rolling down in his eyes......
The days of the palace are simple and happy, I wander in the garden every day, Huaibi accompanies me every day, and sometimes I persuade two sentences, after all, the other princesses all uphold the demeanor of the boudoir women, do some poetry and songs every day, play small songs, do needlework, only I wander around every day. However, I could not hear it, and as soon as I got up in the morning, I heard a loud cheer outside.
I hurriedly rushed out, on the martial arts field, the figure was crowded, I finally squeezed in, in the distance, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, I looked up, only to see nearly 100 vigorous horses galloping around the field, horses flying like arrows, coming from the morning light, as if emerging from the golden light. On the war horse, the cavalry straightened up on the back of the galloping horse, flicked the whip with one hand, and held the reins with the other, constantly posing in various fancy styles and postures, and the movements were smooth and uniform. In particular, the cavalry generals led by him, wearing silver helmets, although he could not see his facial features clearly, his momentum was calm and free.
Straight in front of the stands, all the cavalry hooked their stirrups with one foot, turned over and hung upside down on the horses, and there was a long stream of people on the side, each holding an arrow basket, and the cavalry hooked his backhand, took out the long arrow from the arrow basket, bent the bow and arrows, turned his upper body on one side and released his arms. The arrows broke through the air, and at the same time they went towards an arrow target, the heavy arrow target was broken by a huge force, and there were eighty-one sharp arrows densely inserted in the red heart, many of which penetrated the tails of other arrows, stacked on top of each other!
In an instant, the audience fell silent, and then, the onlookers let out a thunderous cheer, and I squeezed into the front row, wondering which general it was. Just as he poked his head out, the sound of horses' hooves had come quickly, and the cavalry general turned over and dismounted, took off the iron helmet on his head, knelt on one knee, and said in a sonorous voice: "Erchen wishes my father a great blessing and a long life!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that this cavalry general was actually Ling Haoxuan. I'm used to seeing his cold and arrogant temperament, and I never thought he had such a melodious and free side.
"King Rui's riding and archery has improved, and his archery skills are getting better and better!" The emperor spoke slowly, his voice was steady, but with a hint of relief: "Reward a sweat and blood horse, and all cavalry will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" You have to work this hunt and come back with a big spot!. ”
"Thank you, Father! Rest assured, this year's hunting for the retainers should be attentive! ”
Ling Haoxuan thanked him loudly, kowtowed to the ground, and the ministers saw the wind and rudder, so they naturally did not hesitate to praise them.
When I saw his gaze, I skipped a beat in horror, and immediately turned my head, not daring to look at his sparkling eyes.
