CHAPTER XX
The sun slowly went down, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the snow, and it was difficult to find the sun once, and the curtain came down early
The breeze blows, accompanied by a hint of floral fragrance, which is extraordinarily sweet
The boy walked in the wind, and the petals that fell down seemed to guide him
The boy suddenly disappeared, and the world became nothing
I slowly opened my eyes, the snow outside the hall was still falling, the sky was a little dark, and the incense in the hall had changed
It turns out that everything is a dream
I still had the bracelet in my hand, and I slowly got up and put it on
"Your Majesty?" Xiang'er called me softly
I answered, and she opened the curtain a little
"I didn't call Your Majesty when I saw Your Majesty sleeping before, but Your Majesty wants something to eat now?"
She didn't know how to ask me what was wrong, and she didn't dare to ask, so she could only look at me worriedly
"I want to eat a bowl of noodles," I said, my voice a little hoarse
Xiang'er responded
When I got up, Xiang'er had already called the little palace maid to go to the dining room
She helped me to sit down
She took the mouthwash she had prepared and gave it to me, and when it was all done, I poured myself a cup of tea to moisten my throat
"Your Majesty, did you see the general today?" is a question, but it is an affirmation
I looked at it with some confusion
"Your Majesty, vomiting blood" Xiang'er looked at me, "I'm not stupid, I probably knew when I saw it, Bai Langjun was outside again, except for the general, who has such a great ability, but Your Majesty, rest assured, I cleaned it up and didn't tell them"
"Xiang'er" I called her, and she has been protecting me
"Xiang'er just wants Your Majesty to be well, if Your Majesty can't forget the general, I will also help Your Majesty, Xiang'er just doesn't want Your Majesty to be sad"
She looked at me sincerely
"Xiang'er, I may really lose, he told me personally, he doesn't like it" I looked at her, I told her I wanted to give up
"Your Majesty, you won't lose, you still have us" She looked at me gently, "I'll go and see if the food is good"
She walked out quickly
I looked out, walked slowly to the window and sat down, looking at the white plum branches
The flowers on this have long since died, but they have been reluctant to throw them
I smiled self-deprecatingly with it, opened the window and threw it out
I suddenly don't want to know the answers to those questions, so what? The ending has been decided, and it is just sad
In the past half a month, my body has not been well, my head is groggy, and I always cough
Brother Shi can't see the reason, I'm sick and used to it, I don't care too much, I just don't like to move
In addition to going to court every day, he is either nesting on the kang to watch the folds or in bed
Today's New Year, they were supposed to enter the palace to say goodbye, but I felt that I was tired when I saw them, so I was spared
What's more, it's hard to take a day off, so why call them again
"Your Majesty, let's play pitching pot outside, Your Majesty will come along" Xiang'er jumped in
The clothes on her body are still the ones I asked the Huanyi Bureau to make for them in the past few days, and they will be dirty when they are put on
Although Xiang'er is a palace maid, she is actually a little more noble than many official girls, and her food and clothing are much better than them, but she is inferior on the surface, not to mention Xiaoxiao, who will take over Aunt Lan's position in the future
"You girl, you've only been out for a while and you've been crazy like this"
I smiled and called her over and straightened her clothes
"Your Majesty, let's go play together, Xiaoxiao said that there will be fireworks at night"
Xiang'er said and brought me a hand stove, but I haven't said to go yet
I was laughed at by her, "I won't go, you go"
"Your Majesty hasn't gone out to play for a few days, Your Majesty likes to play so much, if you stay any longer, you will be suffocated"
As she spoke, she saw the snacks on my desk, and it was hard for her not to see them at first
I gave her the plate of snacks and said, "I'm not going, be careful with the new clothes I just made."
She took it, "I know, then Your Majesty is going out to set off fireworks at night, thank you for the snacks that Your Majesty appreciated, and give Xiaoxiao a taste in a while, Your Majesty, I'm leaving" Xiang'er finished talking to herself
"Okay, you slow down"
I really haven't gone out to play, I don't like to move anymore
It's rare that there is no snow today, but they can pick some plum blossoms to make new tea later
"Your Majesty" Xiaoxiao came in
"What's wrong? Just Xiang'er also said that you are throwing pots outside."
I put down the book in my hand
"Your Majesty, someone outside the city came to report, saying that someone claimed to be the second prince of Qiguo, and they didn't dare to dispose of it at will, so they gave it to Your Majesty."
I frowned slightly and said, "The Qiguo History Group, the departure is early, but it will take three or four to arrive no matter how fast it is."
"That's right, but if you really go forward as he said, it's okay, but he's also a prince, so there's no need to take risks."
Xiaoxiao didn't understand
"What is it really possible for their second prince to do," I coughed twice, "who is on duty in the Ministry of Rites?" ”
"It's Lord Yang, he's gone, but he doesn't know the second prince, Aunt Lan went to the temple to pray for the emperor again"
"I'll go, I should be able to remember too" I smiled slightly, just to see how lively it was outside the palace
"What are you doing, Your Majesty? It's not good to be in danger," Xiaoxiao looked at me
"It's hard to take a day off, so let me go out for a walk."
I closed the book
"Aunt Lan knows that she is going to be angry" Xiaoxiao still cares about Aunt Lan's thoughts
"It's okay, they don't know I'm out" I looked at her with a smile
"Alright, I'll go with Your Majesty"
I changed into a blue and white dress and put on a white cloak
My carriage was so large that there was enough space for the main seat, and there were blankets in each place, and there were cabinets, incense burners, and a compartment
The people who came and went on the road couldn't help but look at it when they saw such a luxurious carriage, and the guards next to them didn't bring much, and they couldn't guess that it was me inside
They didn't dare to drive him away, nor did they dare to bring him in, so they had to place him in the Ministry of Rites first
We got out of the carriage and already put on our hats, and Lord Yang welcomed us in
"What can you do to let this son leave, don't look at the prisoner, break the place"
Before he entered the door, he heard his whining voice, and the tone of the beating was like him
I went in and took off my hat, he got up to look at me, I didn't say anything to see what he wanted to do, he hadn't changed much from a few years ago
"Bold, I saw that Your Majesty didn't salute" Xiaoxiao protected me beside me
"Ben...... I know she's Your Majesty," he was still speechless as always, but he remembered what I had told him, and I had told him that most of the Snow Country called me in Snow Country
"Good looking or good-looking, how did you lose weight? Your snow country is so poor, can't a king have enough to eat? ”
They didn't dare to talk, I sighed, "I'm just not in good health, and I eat less" They know that I'm not in good health, but they don't know that I've been sick, and I've lost a lot of weight after being sick for so long
After confirming that he was the second prince of Qiguo, Yang Dacai came over and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to put the second prince in the post house first?" ”
Before I could speak, Mu Xiange took the lead, "Of course not"
The names of him and his brother are taken from 'Feng Jun listens to the string song, solemnly sits in the Huatang' His brother is Mu Xianjun, and he is Mu Xiange
"Then you sleep on the street" I frowned slightly, sure enough, he would only cause trouble, he didn't go to the post house, if something happened, we would have to take the blame
"The post house is not safe," Mu Xiange shrugged
"You dare to come alone, you're afraid that it's not safe, the second prince is really good at laughing"
You can't be polite when you talk to him, as long as you are polite, he really won't be polite to you
"Anyway, I don't want to live in the post house," Mu Xiange sat down
I was just about to speak, but Lord Yang next to me grabbed me and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's a guest, pay attention to your tone, don't let them think that we have no manners" My attitude towards speaking is really not good
"What do the second prince want?"
"The palace must be safe," he smiled at me, he really knew how to pick a place
"Your Majesty, do you want him to stay in the palace for one night?" Lord Yang leaned over again, and I glanced at him
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, it's just that today is resting, it is true that there are not so many people to take care of the post house, rather than let him make trouble later, it is better to let him stay in the palace for one night now, and let him return to the post house tomorrow when they come back to work"
I thought about it, and what he said was okay
"If you want to stay in the palace, you can do it, but you can only stay for one night, and you will go back to the inn tomorrow"
I looked at him with some seriousness, "The second prince can also rest assured of your personal safety"
"All right, one night for one night," he got up, "Let's go, Your Majesty."
I put on my hat and got into the carriage with him
"Why did you come here alone?" I looked at Mu Xiange, who was sitting on my left
"Because today you are celebrating the New Year, I want to come and accompany you"
He plays with my incense burner
He was like this from the first time I saw him, but he was used to it, Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it, and he didn't seem to pay attention to it when he glanced at him
"Speak well" I took my incense burner and put it away, he still wanted to take it, I looked at him, and he took his hand back
"It's true, why don't you believe me," he said with some helplessness in his tone
The carriage stopped
"What's wrong?" I watched Xiaoxiao
Xiaoxiao asked and came back, "It's the general."
I opened the curtain, and if it was really him, Mu Xiange also came over to take a look
"It turned out to be General Huangfu" He would be very talkative, but the general was a little unhappy
"Your Majesty, why are you with the second prince? How did the mission arrive so quickly? ”
He directly skipped Mu Xiange
I forgot they knew each other, but they met on the battlefield
"Huangfu Lin Yan, are you ignoring me?" He was a little angry, and I was a little angry, "Can you let me speak?" ”
He snorted and sat back
"He came over suddenly, Lord Yang didn't know him, I happened to pass by here and came to have a look"
I looked at him, and his face softened a little, "I see, the second prince is still so willful"
I've heard of the trouble he caused, but in the end, his brother cleaned up the mess for him
He snorted coldly, but didn't speak
"You and the second prince are also familiar with each other, why don't you do this landlord's friendship for me?"
I still don't want him in the palace
"I am willing to share your Majesty's worries and solve problems," he saluted
Mu Xiange came over again, "I don't want it"
That's when one shot at us
