"Concubine Tong in the palace and her eldest prince are like transparent people."

At the end of the family banquet, which was simpler than Lu Weimang imagined, Huo Jing said that there was a good place to take Lu Weimang to see, so the two of them carried the marquee made by Lu Weimang and took advantage of the dim candlelight to go there.

Huo Jing refused to be followed by Xiao Huangmen, and there were only two of himself along the way. The night was dark, and Lu Weimang thought of Concubine Tong and the eldest prince who didn't say a word at the family banquet, as if they didn't exist, and asked.

"Your Majesty looks very kind on weekdays."

Huo Jing took Lu Weimang's hand and turned his head to look at Lu Weimang's eyes, "Your Majesty, love wants to live, evil wants to die, Concubine Tong made a mistake when she was young, and the queen who almost killed her body and two lives, if it weren't for the unstable foundation of Your Majesty at that time, there would have been no Concubine Tong and the eldest prince a long time ago." More than ten years have passed, and the two of them were able to reappear at the palace banquet, which was also due to the power of the eldest prince's foreign family and the honest atonement attitude of the two for so many years. ”

Lu Weimang listened, nodded, and lowered his eyes.

"Do you think Your Majesty is cold?"

Huo Jing's voice came from overhead, and the cold voice was faint in the night, Lu Weimang shook his head, "No, I think Your Majesty is open-minded." If it were me, the eldest prince would be gone, and if Concubine Tong didn't deal with it, I wouldn't give up. ”

Lu Weimang's voice was also faint, and after saying it, he felt that in the dead of night, it was easy to talk about life and death, as if it was a bit contrary to the education he had been receiving, and he made up for it, "But everyone's position is different, I only say my own thoughts." ”

"Hmph..."A soft snort came, Lu Weimang looked up at Huo Jing on the side, "You are also hard-mouthed, someone really betrayed you, you are reluctant to do it." ”

This seemed to mean something, Lu Weimang explained, "It varies from person to person, some people I sentenced him to death in my heart, and I will no longer maintain the so-called superficial harmony like Your Majesty, and even give him a chance to re-escalate." As for life, I don't think I'll take it away at will, unless I've done something I can't stand it. ”

"Do you sentence yourself in your heart? But if it doesn't hurt others, it's just that you're uncomfortable. The two said as they walked, and when they came to a stone step, Huo Jing pulled Lu Weimang hard, reminding her to pay attention to her feet, "I think I am a black-hearted little white rabbit." ”

Climbing the stairs, I came to the palace wall on the north side of the palace. In the past, when he went to the palace, he looked up at the gate of the palace, and he had to bend his head almost ninety degrees to see the palace wall completely, and at that time, Lu Weimang felt that the palace wall was extremely majestic and towering. I didn't expect to look down from above, it felt even more terrifying, and it was pitch black, as if under the palace wall, in the thick night that could not be dispersed, there was a monster with a big black mouth and roaring.

"Afraid of heights?"

Huo Jing looked at Lu Weimang, who was obviously afraid and pouted back, but he wanted to hold on to the battlements of the city wall and look down, and asked.

"Afraid~" Lu Weimang grabbed the battlements of the city wall that was high to her waist in her hands, and said in fear.

"Afraid to watch?" Huo Jing covered her eyes from behind Lu Weimang, a warm and dry feeling surrounded her, and Lu Weimang subconsciously tugged at the big hand that covered his vision.

"Don't move yet." Huo Jing covered Lu Weimang with one hand, and supported Lu Weimang's shoulder with the other, using slight force to make Lu Weimang turn to the east on the spot.

"Look into the distance."

Huo Jing said, took Lu Weimang's hand in front of him, and after losing his vision for a short time, Lu Weimang saw the light again in front of him, there was a moment of fog, Lu Weimang found that in this fog, there were dim spots of light in front of her eyes, large and small, one by one, in the haze, as if she had seen the lights of thousands of homes that she was accustomed to in her previous life. In the blink of an eye, the light spots took on their original shape, and they turned out to be lanterns hanging high in Kyoto's major mansions and merchants.

Because the palace wall is too high, Lu Weimang looks at Kyoto at this time from a bird's-eye perspective that she has never tried, as if the whole Kyoto is tilted towards her, so that she can see the whole picture of Kyoto.

"It's spectacular, it's incredible."

Kyoto is so big that Lu Weimang can't imagine that such a majestic city exists in this era when there is no mechanical cement. If Kyoto City can be preserved intact to future generations, it can be said to be the world's first wonder, Lu Weimang thought.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Huo Jing's cold and distant voice came, and it matched the cold and dark night.

"Well, it's beautiful."

Lu Weimang stared at this overlooking Kyoto for a moment.

"I saw the first Shangen Festival in Kyoto, and I fell in love with it. So, if I'm in Kyoto, I'll come here every year during the Shangen Festival. The family reunion and the bright lights make people feel lonely and calm. ”

The atmosphere was a little unusual, Lu Weimang couldn't help but say something to break the atmosphere, so he turned his head and looked at Huo Jing and joked, "It turns out that this is your secret base." ”

"Secret base..."Huo Jing smacked the word, suddenly smiled, and looked at Lu Weimang in front of him, "From now on, this is the secret base of the two of us." ”

Huo Jing's eyes were full of light, which made Lu Weimang feel dazzling, and she turned around and looked at the secret base in the distance again.

Huo Jing took a step forward at this time, approached Lu Weimang, a strong arm wrapped around Lu Weimang's neck, and put it on Lu Weimang's right shoulder, his breath appeared on Lu Weimang's left shoulder, Lu Weimang held her breath, stiffened her head and didn't dare to move, she felt a little strange about this kind of physical closeness,

"Those who know my secrets are my people."

"Huh—huh?" Lu Weimang was a little cramped and laughed dryly. Who knew that Huo Jing turned his head at Lu Weimang's left shoulder, and looked at Lu Weimang very closely, Lu Weimang felt that the fluff on her face was blown by Huo Jing's breathing, her body became more and more stiff, and she didn't dare to move, "Yes." Huo Jing said.

With such close contact, Lu Weimang became more and more uncomfortable, this feeling was too strange, she had been in her mother's arms for two lifetimes, and she was like a little white rabbit in the oil pot, with nowhere to hide under the eyes of hunters.

"That five-layer glazed palace lamp is really ostentatious, and I don't know which one it is." Lu Weimang said, taking a step forward, wanting to break away from this shackle, but was circled back by the shoulder that was circled around his shoulder, "Aren't you afraid?" It's windy on the walls, so don't get too close. ”

Lu Weimang couldn't get out of it, she was a little helpless, she felt that her shoulders were a little stiff.

Lu Weimang stretched out his hand to hold the arm that circled him, took it aside, and looked at Huo Jing who was staring at him behind him, "Your arms are thicker than my legs, and your shoulders are tired." ”

Lu Weimang thinks that he should be a person who is allergic to romance, right? .

"Okay." As soon as Huo Jing exerted his strength, Lu Weimang's hand holding Huo Jing's arm was held by him and circled around Lu Weimang's waist, now it's okay, it was just a shoulder, and now Lu Weimang's whole person was circled in front of Huo Jing.

"You can lean on me so you don't get tired."

Lu Weimang suddenly smiled, "Okay." ”

Lu Weimang tried to lean his upper body against the chest of the person behind him.

In the past, Lu felt that he was very rough compared to the little girl next to him, five big and three thick, but today in Huo Jing's arms, he felt as if he was very petite, his shoulders felt very broad, very tough, and as reliable as a mountain, and he could lean on it with complete confidence.

"There is nothing to do in the DPRK and China in the near future, if you want to do anything, I can join you." Huo Jing said softly.

Lu Weimang thought for a while, "It seems that there is nothing special I want to do, I have always been a boring person, and I am very satisfied if I have time to read books and drink tea every day." ”

"In Guozijian, I see that you are quite active in learning the competition."

"Maybe it's a good fit for me to live in the country. The daily homework is arranged by Mr., learning scriptures and history, practicing riding and archery, playing competitions, and just follow the steps. When I was alone, I was lazy and wasted my time. ”

"If Your Majesty knows this, he will definitely beat his chest, the imperial court is the time to employ people, he thought that the finishing work at the Qionglai Pass last year was enough for you to be busy, so he didn't arrange a side errand for you in the past half a year."

The corners of Lu Weimang's mouth hooked, "Your Majesty is still too merciful compared to Mr. Guozijian. I think back then, in the first year of my entry into the National Prison, I stayed up all night every day. ”

"I have to find an opportunity to talk to Your Majesty about this, and I can't let the ministers of the DPRK and China be too idle."

"Huh? Say yes, don't mention that I said it. If the ministers of the DPRK and China had known what I had said, they would have eaten my heart. ”

"Then you'll have to give me hush money."

"Think about it, you don't seem to lack anything, what should I give you to seal?"

Lu Weimang scratched his chin and thought.

"Help me tie a wishful knot, I can use it when I wear a jade pendant."

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "This is easy to say, although I don't know it for the time being, but I should be studious, that is, my family is full of all kinds of knots sent by Nishang Pavilion, and no one in the family may be able to tie them." ”

It's a shame to say that the Lu family is indeed living a rough life, not to mention the three big men, even Lu Weimang, a girl, never uses needlework on weekdays.

"I'll hand it over to you, and I'll bring the materials to Chunxi Hall tomorrow."

"Isn't it okay to be paid to fish? If others see it and see Huo Hou, Huo Hou will be embarrassed in the court. ”

"They don't dare."

Lu Weimang shook his head, "No, you have to concentrate in class, and you can't fish when you go to the office." Well, after you have dispersed, I should be able to date in more than a quarter of an hour on your way home from the time you send me home. ”

Huo Jing seemed to be amused by Lu Weimang, and his chest vibrated silently, "Okay, listen to you." ”

"You seem to have said before that you like to see the famous mountains and rivers in this world."

Lu Weimang couldn't remember when he had told Huo Jing about this, but he still nodded honestly, "I had this idea before. When I came back from Qionglai Pass, I suddenly felt that it would be great if I could travel in the mountains and rivers while running errands, and take care of both public and private affairs. But it's just a tough road. It would be nice if the road conditions were better, or if there was a train, so it wouldn't be so hard, but horseback riding was a different experience. ”

"Trains?"

"Well, it's the kind of coal burning that generates power and takes people away, so that people can walk and sit in the car, read a book or sleep closely, and then they can arrive."

"Is there such a car? I don't think I've heard of it. ”

"I looked at the Atlas of the Four Seas, and it seems to be written there, but I forgot the specific book."

"I'll take a look at the chance, if you do it, you can go out more easily."

The lights of the Shangyuan Festival are intoxicating, although the spring wind is very cold, but in the cold wind, the two figures leaning together, chatting word by word, the atmosphere seems to even the cold wind to detour.
