Chapter 142 In winter, red apricots
Winter, cold winter, winter without snow.
For some reason, although the temperature dropped again and again, I never saw the heavy snow falling in the sky, like the fetus in the womb of a woman with a difficult birth, and the person died urgently.
Weiyang Palace stands quietly in the royal garden of Los Angeles, wrapped in a kind of hardy tree born in the north, because of the dragon qi of the imperial city, the branches and leaves are still luxuriant, lush, but in such a biting cold wind, it looks a little out of place.
These trees are vigorous and towering, looking like ancient trees of nearly 1,000 years old from the appearance alone, but compared with the surrounding imperial palaces, they still lack a magnificent atmosphere of precipitation of time.
Thousands of halls of Weiyang Palace, among which Tongguang Hall is the most gorgeous, although it is not the highest palace among them, nor is it the most luxurious palace among them, and even seems a little small compared to other palaces, but it is the best place for the environment, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn, regardless of rain, snow, wind and frost, you can see extremely beautiful scenery here.
You don't need too many spices, because there will be a faint fragrance of gardenia in spring, jasmine in summer, osmanthus in autumn, and cold plum in winter.
There is no need for too much gold and jade ornamentation, because standing at this time you can see the whole scenery of Los Angeles, and the lively images of the streets that can be depicted in your mind are much more beautiful in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor than any gold and silver things.
There is no need for too many palace maids to serve, because the queen is a very gentle and intellectual wife.
"It's already snowing in the north, I look at the letterhead that Xu Fengmian sent back to the military department, the snow is so heavy that it seems to make people's heads turn white in an instant. ”
"It's not too cold in the south, and the leaves haven't fallen yet, and it's still an autumn scene. ”
"It's called me this Los Angeles, it's colder than the south, and the snow doesn't fall in, this god is really favoritism, it's winter, and a snow has to be divided into north and south. ”
His Majesty Ji Qinglin, the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty, stood by the railing on the top floor of the Tongguang Palace, leaning on the railing, commenting on this winter scene.
The queen mother walked out of the room, holding a bowl of delicate white fungus lotus seed soup in her hand, her face was full of gentle and atmospheric color, at first glance it was not the best in the world, but after a long time, the temperament was as attractive as the jade in the deep mountains, and the porcelain bowl in her hand was the white porcelain fired in the brick kiln of the Ministry of Industry, and it was steaming hot.
Listening to the unreasonable complaints of the husband who is the lord of the god dynasty like a child, she stepped forward to hold her husband's hand, placed the white porcelain bowl between the two, and said with a smile: "Everything in the world is beautiful when there is a difference, just like the pure white snow on the top of the Saibei Mountain, will you be attached to the flowers of the south of the Yangtze River?
"If you want to see the snow, it will probably fall in a few days, and I'll accompany you to see it then. ”
"You can still understand my intentions, how can you do it without seeing snowflakes in this winter, and I'm afraid I'll have to move the hot pot into the palace in a few days." ”
When His Majesty the Emperor heard this, he took the Empress in his arms, took her hand and looked at the south in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became a little helpless.
"This god dynasty has experienced thousands of years, and there has never been the erosion of ice and snow, all because of the efforts of this generation of ancestors, passed on to my generation, how can I not do something, since I ascended the throne, a national policy, ask yourself, all are policies to benefit the people and benefit the government, but now although the south is stable, I am still a little uneasy in my heart. ”
"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about those old things? It's all in the past, isn't it sad to think too much?" The queen mother brought the white porcelain bowl to her hand, took a spoonful lightly with a spoon, blew on it, and sent it to her husband's mouth.
"When I first ascended the throne, I was full of enthusiasm, those bull-nosed old Taoist priests and the southern countries worshipped, how could I have been afraid, but it was just a method of the primordial gods, how could it be more like me than a general, but that song was silent, which really annoyed me. The Emperor sighed helplessly.
"Although he is now guarding the south and has made great achievements, I still like the youthful spirit when he went to Daze. ”
Hearing this, the queen mother held her hand tighter, looked up at the trees that were still standing tall in the cold wind and said: "After he came back from the south, the Daomen sects, the southern countries and even Kunlun and Wuliang all asked His Majesty to give an explanation, one is that Qu Yan opened a killing ring in Daze and killed many Daomen masters, and the other is the whereabouts of the Nannuma Holy Maiden and the law of the Yuan Shen. ”
"Confused, he is my courtier, and he is the person I trust the most, how can I not protect him if something happens? He is a strong man at the peak of martial arts, how many people in this world can embarrass him? How would he know that if he said it that day, I would even go to Taifu in person to offer sacrificial wine and ask his old man to help. ”
"As for those Taoist claims, they are not as skilled as people and still have the face to make demands? That year's Tongtian Banquet was originally those ignorant and fearless fools who wanted to wave the knives and forks in their hands when I first took the throne, and wanted to share a piece of the pie on the table, and I had already given them enough face in the past......"
"The method of the primordial gods is certainly attractive, but since the ancient heavenly court disappeared, in the past thousand years, how have I ever heard of someone attaining immortality? ”
"Whether it is Kunlun, or immeasurable, or a more mysterious existence, he has forgotten one thing, that is, my god dynasty has never been afraid of those who are stronger than himself, from the battle of freedom at the beginning of the dynasty to the current prosperous era, all rely on the power of secular mortals, and win the hearts of the people not only to gain the world, but also a kind of human belief that can open the sky...... It's a pity that he can't understand it. ”
His Majesty the Emperor's hand holding the railing was very strong, and the raised green tendons could be seen, but the Empress Mother's hand still felt the warmth as always, without any extra strength.
"I don't know how long this prosperity will last, but if one day all this is gone, I will make the whole world remember my name!"
"But Your Majesty is already the best one in heaven and earth!" the queen said softly.
"It's a pity that I can't cultivate, you know, those old cow noses in Kunlun Mountain can live like turtle......s one by one" His Majesty the Emperor was a little annoyed: "It is said that people can't be too greedy, sitting on this piece of the country, it seems that they are destined not to be able to expect other things, except for the ancestors of the Emperor of the Ji family who are cultivators, none of them can practice in the past thousand years, and now Chaosheng is talented, I don't know if it will be a variable?"
The queen mother looked at his somewhat unconvinced side face, smiled very brightly, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were full of admiration, she gently snuggled up to His Majesty the Emperor, and said in a low voice: "What is the good thing about cultivating to immortality? ”
The emperor's face was full of pride, as if hugging his beloved woman in his arms was a happier thing than making any major decisions, he stretched out his hand to hold the queen's shoulders, pointed to the majestic imperial city of the palace wall and said: "Yes, what's so good about immortality, I just blame myself for not being able to practice, and I can't take you to see the more beautiful world." ”
"If I can practice, I will take you to the top of Kunlun Jade Void to see if there is a legendary flower in the world, and I will go to the heavenly court above the nine heavens to take the largest peach in the orchard for you to taste......
The queen mother hid in her arms and listened to the gossip of her beloved man, listening to the constant switching between the two titles of me and me, and smiled happily and contentedly.
"Although this heaven and earth has restrained my body, how can I restrain my thoughts, although I can't practice, but I am much more comfortable than those cultivators. ”
Listening to these remarks, the queen remembered that in the past few days, herself, the emperor's husband, often came up with some novel, never-before-heard concepts, like a teenager's high spirits, every sentence was full of the vitality of youth, and she couldn't help but be happier, and couldn't help but blush her cheeks.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the pink and shy cheeks of the Empress in his arms, lowered his head and kissed it gently, turned to look out of the building, and for a while, the two most important things in his life were held tightly in his hands, and his heart was extremely happy.
"Your Majesty seems to have been a lot younger this time!"
"Nonsense, did I look old?"
His Majesty the Emperor pretended to be annoyed and quipped, hearing the word young, and suddenly remembered that today was the day when he made an appointment with the little boy of the Taifu to chat by the lake, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's cold, let's go back early." ”
......
......
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor walking out of the palace gate in a good mood, and looking at the sun that had not yet set, the Empress frowned, and a trace of doubt could not help but appear in her eyes.
She knew that in addition to dealing with the government on weekdays, her men would occasionally go to Taifu to relax, and she also knew that His Majesty had a small world of his own, which was an excellent thing, but recently it was unavoidable...... Went a little too often.
The queen mother is the world, naturally reasonable, understanding, but after all, she is a woman with love in her heart, thinking that those maids usually discuss those folk stories that have been very popular recently, telling the love between men and women, in the face of this abnormal thing, my mind can't help but start to think cranky.
Are there good-looking female students in Taifu?
Or did he secretly fall in love with another woman?
If you want to take a concubine, the queen mother will naturally not object, but she knows in her heart that she is the only one in Her Majesty today, and with Her Majesty's dedicated character, she will never have any other women.
So...... What is there in Taifu that attracts him?
