In the spring season, everything grows.

The Son of Heaven is about to have a spring festival. This year is the 60th birthday of Tai and Zu, and the spring sacrifice ceremony is very grand.

Tai and Zu worked hard all their lives, were born poor and young people, worked as butchers for decades, and were subjected to harsh government and oppression. He was wanted by the government for accidentally killing a government official who was collecting taxes and collecting taxes.

In order to survive, he was forced to go up the mountain to become a bandit.

Tai' ancestor was a righteous man, and he was very kind to his brothers, and he always distributed the money and wealth to his brothers, and sometimes he went down the mountain, and when he saw the miserable people, he would also use righteousness and squander wealth.

At that time, the people of Longxi joked that officials were like bandits, bandits were like officials, and they couldn't tell who was an official and who was a bandit.

Later, the people who could not bear the harsh government of the emperor defected to the cottage, and there were more and more people in the village, which hindered the eyes of the government and began to suppress bandits.

Then they reversed.

After more than 20 years of fighting on the battlefield, he finally annihilated the Emperor and single-handedly founded the Dongli Dynasty.

His Majesty talked about the road to the foundation of Taizu in the court, and sighed with a face. He worked hard in his life, fought for decades, and died of overwork after only three months as emperor.

Just in time for his birthday to catch up with the spring festival, the emperor, who has always been simple, decided to hold a grand and lively event.

The former dynasty and the harem are all busy with this matter.

Zhao Yu saw Bai Yu for the last time, and he had no nostalgia for this palace.

She planned to leave the palace in time for the spring festival.

If you want to leave the palace, you have to see the prince first.

She hesitated.

But she had to go.

Mama Chen's matter, she hasn't thanked her yet.

The daylight on this day was not gorgeous, it hung lonely in the sky, and from time to time the wind rose, and stratus clouds piled up in the sky.

Zhao Yu went to the Chengming Hall against the dark clouds, but unfortunately the heavens were not beautiful, and halfway through, there was a spring thunder, rumbling, and it rained in a moment.

Zhao Yu braved the rain all the way, crossed the Longwei Road, and saw that the Chengming Hall was in front of him, but saw Li Wenjian followed by a group of officials coming from afar.

He was wearing a bright yellow suit, and Fei Yu was holding an umbrella for him beside him. Far away, Zhao Xuan couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, but he smelled the displeasure on his body for no reason.

Li Wenjian walked up to the dragon tail road, saw the rain dripping on the ground of white marble, and took a pause in his steps, looking at Zhaoxuan.

Zhao Yu had already bent down to avoid him, not noticing his gaze.

I just felt a little unlucky, just caught up with the rain, and happened to meet His Highness something.

Li Wenjian and His Majesty discussed the matter of the Spring Festival, and now he has just returned to the palace. I don't know what the father and son said, he was displeased when he came back, and took someone directly to the study.

It was an eventful spring, the rebels in the south, the aliens in the north, Li Wenjian was very busy, and the people in the East Palace served carefully. It was because he heard that Zhao Yu reported to his home, but there was a woman in Huanyi at the Huanyi place, so he said: "Your Highness is not free at the moment, you come back another day." ”

Zhao Yu pleaded softly: "I'll wait here, Your Highness is free later, can you help me Tongbing again?" ”

Li Wen is strict with the rules, the more strict the royal family, the closer the people to him, the more arrogant and domineering, in the face of Zhao Yu's pleading, he pointed to the famous posts stacked on the next desk: "You can wait if you want, there are so many people lining up to see His Highness, he may not have time to see you." ”

Zhao Yu is not willing to wait, but the place where she lives is quite far away from the Chengming Palace, and she has to make a special trip to the grandmother in charge to take leave and ask her to put the right cards, and the procedures are quite cumbersome.

Zhao Yu thanked him and walked outside the hall to wait.

The spring rain lingered, and the rain that flew obliquely into it hit the face cold.

A few more people came one after another who were waiting to meet Li Wenjian, all of them were wearing official robes, and looking at the patterns of the official robes, the official positions were not low.

She was hesitating whether to continue waiting, when the sky and earth were dark on her side, and the rain was resting above her head.

She turned around and saw that it was Fei Yu holding the umbrella for her.

The young man's gaze fell on her face and said, "Are you here to find Your Highness?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded.

Fei Yu said: "Then come with me." ”

Zhao Yu was stunned: "Your Highness is done with the discussion?" ”

Fei Yu shook his head and said no: "He asked me to take you to Dongnuan Pavilion to wait for him." ”

Zhao Yu hummed softly and followed behind Fei Yu: "Let's go." ”

Fei Yu wanted to hold an umbrella for her, so she had to pass sideways from under the porch.

The people in the side hall looked out with their heads over.

Zhao Yu looked at the umbrella in Fei Yu's hand and said softly, "I'll come." ”

Fei Yu let out a sullen "oh" and handed the umbrella to Zhao Yu.

Fei Yu took Zhao Yu around the side hall and entered the East Warm Pavilion.

The Winter Warm Pavilion is Li Wenjian's small study, and he will come here to rest when he is free, and he is pure with ornamentation. The incense mist in the eight-treasure incense burner is entangled, and the tea fragrance on the stove is entangled, and it becomes another unique fragrance.

Before Fei Yu went to pick up Zhao Yu under the corridor, he had already prepared his clothes, and he was wearing a mountain-colored robe on the tray, and when he got closer, there was a faint smell of absinthe.

It is the unique fragrance of plants and trees, not lonely and cold, not kitsch.

Fei Yu said: "Your Highness said that your clothes are wet, let me find you clothes." There are no female dependents in the East Palace, this is His Royal Highness's old clothes when he was young, you can make do with it for the time being. ”

Zhao Yu raised her eyes to look at Fei Yu, her face was full of innocence, she didn't feel anything wrong, she swallowed, "I...... It's okay, the clothes will dry in a while. ”

"Nope." Fei Yu categorically refused.

His Royal Highness instructed him to find her clothes to change into, and if she did not change them, it would be a dereliction of duty for her to catch a cold when she turned around. Although he is young, he has been following His Highness for many years, but His Highness has always treated him as a child and refused to use him as much as he used to return to herdsmanship. So even if it's a small thing, he does it very seriously.

"Every summer, I will let them be washed again, incense preservation, you can wear it with confidence, there will be no worms."

Zhao Yu was quite helpless, and looked at Fei Yu again: "It's not that I'm afraid of insects......

"What's that?" Fei Yu was puzzled. looked at her with blazing eyes: "Hurry up, and when Your Highness sees that you are still wearing wet clothes, you will blame me for not doing my job well." ”

Zhao Yu didn't understand the explanation to him, hesitated for a moment, answered "Okay", and took the clothes: "I'll change it immediately." ”

Fei Yu showed a look of relief at this time, followed behind her, and said earnestly: "You change first, I'll go fetch water for you." ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "Thank you." ”

Feather exited the house and closed the door.

Zhao's body was soaked, and the wet coat was almost uncomfortable against the cold. She slowly untied her coat and put on Li Wenjian's bedrobe.

Although it is an old garment from many years ago, it is properly preserved and does not have the slightest smell of old decay.

The faint incense on her clothes reminded her of the smell on Li Wenjian's body, people have prestige, and even the breath emanating from her clothes is overwhelming. The inexplicable feeling of oppression made Zhao Yu breathe tightly, and he couldn't wear it for a while, and he didn't wear it.

She regretted it, she shouldn't have been afraid to wait for him in the rain and trouble.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard the voice of flying feathers chattering outside: "Have you changed it?" ”

"Right now." Less leaning, Zhao Yu changed his clothes and pushed the door open.

Fei Yu heard the sound of the door opening, turned around, and looked at Zhao Yu who was wearing His Royal Highness's clothes, and was stunned for a moment.

It's strange that it's still that person, but he always feels that something is wrong, so he doesn't dare to look at her directly, so he looks away and swallows his saliva and says, "Here you go." ”

After a pause, he said, "I asked them to boil ginger tea and send it over later." You drank tea and waited here for Your Highness. ”

Zhao Yu snorted: "Thank you." ”

Fei Yu nodded, walked out of Dong Nuan again, and closed the door.

Zhao untied his hair and took a handkerchief to dry the rain from his hair little by little. After wiping his hair, someone knocked on the door again, and Zhao Yu opened the door, and it was the palace maid who brought ginger tea and snacks. They came and left, without lingering for a moment.

Zhao Yu looked at the dim sum on the table, only took the ginger tea that Fei Yu had ordered, and drank it in a big gulp.

A warm current floated up, and the gentle warmth wrapped her, gradually forcing away the cold air that stuck to her skin.

Xu is because the prince is quiet, and there is almost no one walking outside. It was so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing.

She did not dare to move around at will, and sat motionless for nearly an hour, when she finally heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.

She hesitated, but stood up and pushed the door open.

Li Wenjian's long figure slowly came out of the twilight rain. He held an indigo oil paper umbrella, heard the sound of the door opening, raised his head, the rain lingered, paving a faint mist for his eyebrows, which were already very good-looking, like a green mountain with steaming clouds.

He glanced at Zhao Yu, who was dressed in his own youthful clothes, and was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his eyes lowered slightly, and he stepped up the steps to collect the umbrella and put it upside down by the door.

Zhao Yu walked over and blessed him with his body, and called: "Your Highness." ”

Li Wenjian said "um", walked straight into the room, sat down at the desk, swept his eyes over the pastries on the table, and asked, "Isn't it unappetizing?" ”

She whispered, "I'm not hungry. ”

Li Wenjian nodded, reached out to take the teacup, and the cup was empty. Zhao Yu stabilized his mind, and walked towards Li Wenjian, picked up the delicate silver pot, and poured him a cup of tea.

Li Wenjian's figure is long, and the clothes of his youth are too wide for Zhaoxuan, and between his hands, the sleeves slip down to his elbows, revealing a long snow-white lotus arm, the loose collar covers the neck, and the slender shoulders loom in the face.

He opened his eyes, picked up the warm teacup, and took a sip.

While he was drinking tea, Zhao Yu slowly raised his eyes and looked at him: "There is a new lady in charge at the Huanyi place, and they all say that His Royal Highness is wise." ”

"Who are they?"

Li Wenjian looked over.

The four eyes intersected, Zhao Yu looked at Li Wenjian's deep eyebrows, and the thoughts in her heart were like snow, and she was immediately dissolved, she lowered her eyes, became inexplicably nervous, and said softly: "I am also very grateful to Your Highness." It's just that His Highness is a wise and benevolent monarch, and I don't dare to guess that His Highness disposed of her for me. ”

"In your eyes, I am a bodhisattva with the light of the Buddha on my head?" Li Wenjian smiled in a low voice.

Zhao Yu looked at Li Wenjian: "People say that His Royal Highness is as benevolent as a Buddha. ”

"If the Buddha is merciful to the jackal, and the jackal hurts the lives of the people, then is the Buddha benevolent or unkind?"

After a pause, he added: "I am not a Buddha, and I will not sit idly by and ignore the cruel and vicious people. ”

Although Zhao Yu had already guessed, he admitted it in front of him, but she still couldn't stop her heart from trembling slightly, panicked for a while, and finally lowered her head deeply and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

"Zhaoxuan." Li Wenjian suddenly called her name.

Zhao Yu raised his head to look at him when he heard the sound, and then he said solemnly: "Live well in the future, live without restraints, and live freely." ”

The voice is soft, and there is a heavy expectation in the end.
