I decided to go back and revise the previous chapter, and send this chapter first.
Well. There is a slight inconsistency with the previous chapter, and this chapter shall prevail.
********************
Emperor Hui in the spring of the fifth year
After the servant prepared for March, the emperor's cavalry drove out of Chang'an from Xuanping Gate, Dubashui, passed through Zhiyang, Xinfeng, Huaxian, Huayin, and passed through Taolinsai to Hanguguan, and went east to Luoyang. The gallop road is three zhang wide, the road side is full of green pines, and the carriage gallops on the road, and the speed is stable.
After the sixteenth longevity building, the purple building, the neon building, and the feather treasure building, it was the emperor's royal car, and then in the car where the queen lived, Lu Yuan put down the curtain, and also separated his eyes from the roadside scenery, and sighed, "I haven't been back to Pei County for a long time." β
"Ah Yan probably doesn't understand her mother's feelings," she looked at her daughter who was leaning in the middle of the car, and said abruptly, "You are a young man, you have never been in the countryside, and you have never been to Peixian, but I am afraid that you will have to see your mother's jokes." β
"Mother said something." Zhang Yan threw a plum into her mouth and took another sip of tea, "Pei County is the place where His Majesty and his mother were born together, and Yan'er also wants to take a look." Besides, doesn't Your Majesty also understand your mother's homesickness, so you urge your mother to walk with you. β
Lu Yuan then smiled, "Yes." "It's a pity that the queen mother is too old to come with us." Otherwise, our family will be truly reunited. β
"The queen, the eldest princess," the guard came to the front of the car and said, "Your Majesty ordered the ministers to inform you that when you pass Luoyang, you will get off the gallop road, the road in the land of Kanto is far less smooth than the gallop road, and the car may be a little bumpy, the queen and the eldest princess forgive me." β
After a while, the worry probe came out and smiled. "The queen said she knew. I thanked the general on my behalf. β
Listening to the bump of the wheels, the rider turned into Huangsha Road, raising a long dust.
On this day, it will be late, and the holy driver will rest in the township pavilion next to the road in Neihuang County.
The township pavilion had already been informed by the emperor and his entourage, and they treated each other with a couch. Although Emperor Hui had previously stated that this trip was just a private tour, and there should be no extravagance along the way. But how dare the officials and subordinates from all over the country really treat them simply, although it is just a small village pavilion, in a hurry. In fact, the house in the guest house in the pavilion was arranged quite neatly.
Since the person who informed him before did not have additional instructions, the pavilion chief naturally arranged the Zhengzhong compound to His Majesty and the Empress to live, and Princess Lu Yuan lived alone in a small courtyard. The accompanying princes and ministers were assigned housing in descending order according to their titles and official positions, and the accompanying guards and honor guards could only be aggrieved, and seven or eight people lived in the same room.
In the backyard
Wash away the dust along the way. Zhang Yan changed into her bedclothes and asked casually, "What is Your Majesty doing now?" β
"Empress Qiyu," Xiao Huangmen owed, and said, "Zhao Wangyou." On behalf of Wang Heng, Wu Wangbi, and Qi Wang Shizixiang. As well as the county guard of Dongjun, where the Huang County Commander came to see His Majesty, and now, His Majesty is about to meet them in the front hall. β
"Oh." Zhang Yan nodded, indicating that she understood. Suddenly, I heard someone outside the house, "My sister is fine." "The voice is weird. couldn't help but sink his face and said, "Who's out there?" β
Tu Yu leaned out of the door to look, came back and said with a smile, "Niangniang, it is a parrot raised by a little daughter-in-law in the pavilion, hanging on the porch, and can speak human words, and the sentence of Shicai is what it said." Do we want to take a look at the boredom? β
Zhang Yan was a little bored, so she bowed her head and said, "Let her slip over and take a look." β
When Liu Ying came back, she saw a woman in Tsing Yi standing stiffly and explained, "Queen Mother, this parrot was caught by a child when he was playing in the field, and he taught it to speak on weekdays, but he was also a little clever. It's very likable, if you like it, give it to your mother. β
"Excuse me." Zhang Yan glanced up, as if smiling, "A gentleman doesn't win people's love." I'm just teasing, and I'll give it back to you in a moment. It's not my sin to make your children unhappy. β
The parrot in the cage screamed hotly, "Sister Beauty is so beautiful." Jumping up and down, glaring at the beautiful girl resentfully, Zhang Yante was narrow, looking at its long tail, and secretly caught it. The budgies were staggered, but the bamboo cage was too small, and it escaped the east and came to the west.
But the girl grabbed a handful of pine nuts in her other hand, and when she saw that it was angry, she threw one into it. Catch the tail with the left hand, feed the pine nuts with the right hand, and have a lot of fun.
The parrot was teased by her, and she didn't want to eat the food she came, but the pine nuts were delicious, and she was really reluctant, so she couldn't help but chirp and protest.
Liu Ying shook her head and called, "Ah Yan." β
"Huh?" Zhang Yan turned around and responded.
The palace people in the house and the women of the township pavilion found that Liu Ying was back, and hurriedly turned around and bowed, "See Your Majesty." Suddenly, I heard an oops. It turned out that because Zhang Yan was distracted, the parrot bird seized the opportunity and bit her white and delicate fingertips.
Zhang Yan frowned slightly and retracted her hand.
The young daughter-in-law was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed to Liu Ying and Zhang Yan, and begged, "The women are dead." β
"It's okay." Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "I teased it myself, and it didn't bite hard, not even a drop of blood." Well, go down with the birds. β
Since he had returned, she had no mind to bother with anything else, but to smile at him.
Liu Ying also looked at her and said suddenly, "That parrot has eyes, and it is really a beauty." β
Zhang Yan was snorted by what he said, and then she reacted, and she was a little at a loss.
"Nothing, right?" He stepped forward and examined her fingertips. Seeing that there was indeed no redness and swelling, he said with a straight face, "How many times have I told you, wipe your hair dry every time, and then go to do other things." You always turn a deaf ear, and when you get old and fall into the wind, you know that you regret it, right? β
She pursed her lips and let him take the dry towel and wipe her hair for herself, in fact, it was never that she couldn't remember, but she was greedy for the gentleness he wiped for herself every time, so she always let it go.
"Your Majesty," she asked casually, "how long will it take to get from Neihuang to Peixian?" β
"It's probably two or three days away. What, feeling tired along the way? Liu Ying sighed, "Actually, you can stay in Chang'an, you don't have to accompany me on this trip." β
"How?" Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "I'm happy to come." Pei County is the hometown of my mother and Her Majesty, so I naturally want to come and see it. β
"And." She smiled brightly, in the dim candlelight, the dimples on her left cheek loomed, quiet and beautiful, "How can I be so delicate?" In terms of hard work, in addition to His Majesty's hurry, he also has to deal with political affairs, isn't it even harder than me. Speaking of which, if you weren't lucky enough to be born in the emperor's family, you would have caught up with such a journey. It's just a normal thing. β
As the night deepened, the candles were relieved, and the new and soft quilts on the couch were tidied up. He asked, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, are you going to rest in peace?" β
"Hmm." Liu Ying looked at it and said. "I'm going to continue my journey tomorrow, so let's sleep."
Zhang Yan bowed her head, drained the green silk, and went to the couch. After a while, after Liu Ying took a bath, she also changed her bedclothes. Lift the corner of the quilt and fall asleep beside her.
The palace man put down the tent and blew out the candles. Withdrew.
She quietly opened her eyes, and the moonlight shone in through the window, shining very clearly on the ground.
"Oh, oh, oh." It seems to have just touched the pillow. Then he heard the sound of the rooster announcing the dawn.
Liu Ying woke up from her sleep and got up. The corner of the clothes was suppressed, and when he lowered his head, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the quiet sleeping face of the girl in his arms.
From this winter, in that fierce quarrel, he finally understood Zhang Yan's persistence, so he no longer refused to sleep in the same bed.
If she would rather stay in Weiyang Palace for the rest of her life than ask him to bother to arrange a way out for her, then what is the use of him bothering to maintain her name?
The girl in her arms grows up day by day, and the longer she gets, the more beautiful and thrilling she becomes. Only when she was asleep, she still looked like a child, under the long eyelashes, her skin was like ice jade, even if she was asleep, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, I thought she had a good dream.
Ah Yan's sleeping appearance is not good, even though she sleeps in a regular manner every day, she always inadvertently turns over when she sleeps, and even kicks the quilt away. So he had to bother to remember to cover her with a quilt in the middle of the night, otherwise he would catch a cold the next day, and he would drink the decoction prescribed by the Imperial Doctor's Department with a bitter face, looking pitiful.
On the third day when he no longer insisted on sleeping on different beds, Ah Yan ordered someone to take the prepared couch outside the screen of the Jiaofang Hall and chop it as firewood, and he was elated and couldn't wait.
And when he heard it, he could only touch his nose and smile bitterly.
The Nanmu bed in Jiaofang Hall was big enough, even if the two of them slept peacefully, there was still a lot of space, and he slept with her, in fact, there was very little skin to skin. This time when he went out, even though the township pavilion arranged all the living and living exquisitely, he couldn't find a bed the same size as the Nan bed in the Jiaofang Palace, and because of the fatigue of the journey, he slept too well at night, and he didn't even know when she turned over and leaned on his arms.
What if you know?
He patted Ah Yan's face, this is a person he can't get close, can't be far away, can't love, can't hate, can't leave, can't be reluctant, can only live like this day by day, greedy for the last happiness.
"Ah Yan," he called, "get up." β
Zhang Yan babbled twice and said vaguely, "It's still early." He turned over and went back to sleep.
Han Changliu entered the room with his coat in his hand, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile.
He withdrew the corner of his clothes that had been pressed and glared at Chang Xiao fiercely.
Chang Lu hurriedly stopped laughing, pretended to be serious, coughed, and said, "Your Majesty forgives me, the slave just remembered a poem, and at this time, it is just right to say the opposite." β
"Oh?" Liu Ying asked curiously, "Which poem?" β
"Well, it's one of Zheng Feng's songs."
He suddenly understood, sighed softly, and read in his heart: The woman said "rooster crow", and the soldier said "Weidan".
After calling Tu Li, he instructed, "You serve the mother, well, let her sleep for another quarter of an hour, and then call her up." β
Tu Yu replied in a deep voice, "No." β
The woman said, "The rooster crows." The priest said, "Weidan." β
"Zixing looks at the night, and the stars are rotten."
"Will soar, and the geese will fly."
"Yi Yan added, and Zi Yizhi. It is advisable to drink alcohol and grow old with children. Qin Se is in the palace, and it is good to be quiet. β
"Knowing the son of the son, he will give it away. Knowing the son's obedience, miscellaneous admiration to ask. Knowing the good of the son, he admires it in return. β

By the way, about that update this afternoon.
Because I have three scrap chapters in the background, and there are scrap chapters that can't be added to VIP volume.
And I've just made it to the third volume.
I asked the editor for help in the afternoon, and the ban was lifted after the three chapters were published.
As a result, there were updates on some children's shoe bookshelves, but I didn't find the update when I came to see it.
I am sorryοΌ
This should never happen again.
If only I could guarantee that there will be no more wrong chapters and invalid chapters.
Continue passing by and ask for a pink ticket.
