The setting sun shines on the glazed tiles of the Imperial Palace, like a fine fine fine brocade painting, and also like layers of rippling blue waves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Yu raised his head and looked at the floating light outside the window, dazzling gold, it turned out that he was up and down, his life was still in the palace, if he chose to be a commoner, how happy would it be to live a life of male farmers and female weavers?

At this time, although Li Yu was in the palace, this palace was not his, and he couldn't even choose his own residence, he was arranged in a vacant courtyard behind the Cuiyun Pavilion.

Li Yu walked out of the door gently, only at this time, the sunlight would shine into this courtyard, although this courtyard was dilapidated, but it was still quite large, but for some reason, Li Yu felt that the bright sky was cut off. If you live for a long time, it seems that dark cyan green mold will grow on your body.

This is just a courtyard in the shape of an old palace, scattered with more than a dozen houses, as if no one has lived in it for a long time, the weeds that grow on the palace tiles are mixed, and even the gate is covered with thick dust and ashes, full of devastation.

Li Xiaoyao was cleaning every corner of the courtyard, but the courtyard was too old, and as soon as he reached out, the copper nails on the door fell a layer of rusty ash, almost blinding his eyes.

"Getaway"

Hearing his father call himself, Li Xiaoyao walked quickly in front of Li Yu, he wiped the beads of sweat from the corner of his forehead with the corner of his sleeve, and smiled softly: "Dad." ”

Although Li Yu is only about forty years old, but in just a few days, he has obviously aged a lot, his hair seems to have turned white overnight, Li Xiaoyao deliberately made a relaxed expression in front of him, in order to infect Li Yu with this relaxed mood.

Li Yu said, "Hey, how long are you going to live here?

Li Xiaoyao said: "Dad, if you live for a day, you have to make it clean for a day, this is a respect for life." This is already spring, but only seeing Li Xiaoyao can make him feel the warmth of spring.

Li Yu nodded and smiled slightly, the vermilion lacquer door outside the door was suddenly opened, making a bulky sound, as if it was about to break, the soldiers outside the door brought in a palace maid carrying a food box, the palace maid was obviously not suitable for the musty smell here, covered her nose and put down the food box in her hand, she originally planned to turn around and leave, but when she saw Li Xiaoyao, the palace maid couldn't help but stand still, and she even put down the water sleeve covering her nose.

Li Xiaoyao, there is not even a jade pendant on the waist of the coarse white robe, his hair is casually tied in a bun and there is not even an ordinary wooden hairpin, but his face is clearer than a mountain spring, so that any girl can no longer take her eyes off when she looks at it.

Li Xiaoyao took the food box, and after opening it, there were only two bowls of brown rice and a plate of vegetarian fried soybean sprouts, he covered the food box and said to the palace maid: "Thank you." Although he only said two words, the palace maid was flattered, and her face was obviously red.

It was still the two soldiers guarding the door who shouted, "Yanxia, it's none of your business." The palace maid named Yanxia hurriedly withdrew.

One of the soldiers said to Li Xiaoyao: "Li Gongzi, you are not shallow, you see that you have lived in for five days, three meals a day, one palace maid per meal, and fifteen palace maids have been changed to send you food. ”

The other soldier looked in the direction where the palace maid was walking, until he couldn't see her figure anymore, Fang turned his head, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms and stuffed it into Li Xiaoyao's hand, and said: "Childe, although the two of us are on an errand in the palace, but they are people in the palace of the King of Jin, after you came to the palace, the little prince specially instructed his subordinates to take care of you, you can deal with these meals and eat some, this paper bag is a good snack, Gongzi go back and eat slowly." “

Li Xiaoyao frowned and said: "I can't ask for this, if the internal guards in the palace see it, you two will ask for guilt, don't worry, I, Li Xiaoyao, have always been able to bend and stretch, and I can endure no matter how much hardship is greater than this." ”

The soldier before said: "Childe is very touched by the warm heart of our nobody, but Childe also wants to give us a chance to show to the little prince." There is another point, the little prince asked his subordinates to tell the son, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, as long as the son is alive and safe, there is hope for the future, the little prince let the son rest assured. “

As soon as Li Yu opened the door outside, he had already turned into the house, so many years of house arrest had made him accustomed to being alone, he was not even willing to face anyone, in the eyes of those people, he always felt that there was an element of contempt and ridicule in them, so he chose to avoid it.

The gold and painting of the carved railings in the house all fell off, and there was nothing left except the bed and table, but although the house was dilapidated, it was cleaned up by Li Xiaoyao.

In response to this positive attitude towards life, Li Yu feels that life is still full of vitality and hope, and of course Li Yu feels hopeful.

Li Xiaoyao walked in with a spring breeze on his face, he put the food box on the table, and then took out the oiled paper bag from his arms, he said, "Dad, what do you think this is?" After opening it, it was a few pieces of hibiscus cake as white as jade.

Immediately, the smell of decay in the house was filled with more and more of this melodious fragrance.

Li Yu was sitting at the table, but he didn't even look at the food, because every day it was vegetarian fried soybean sprouts with a rotten smell and brown rice that had not been picked up at all. He only barely ate something until he was too hungry to do so.

At this time, Li Yu stood up, he picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, looked at it carefully, and whispered: "One heavy mountain, two heavy mountains." The mountains are far away, the sky is high, the smoke and water are cold, and the acacia maple leaf is dan. Chrysanthemums bloom, chrysanthemums are left, wild geese fly high and people have not returned, and a curtain of wind and moon is idle......".

Li Xiaoyao didn't understand what was wrong with his father at all, when he was in the Jin Palace, five days ago, he often ate such delicate pastries. It's just a hibiscus cake that can be eaten ordinarily, why is Dad so emotional?

However, Li Yu had tears in his eyes, Li Xiaoyao had never seen his father so excited, even when he was placed under house arrest in the Jin Mansion and Xiao Zhou was robbed, he didn't shed tears, and Li Xiaoyao didn't dare to ask.

After a while, Li Yu said: "Xiaoyao, do you know? Your mother's favorite food is hibiscus cake." “

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyao took two steps closer, he had never been so shocked, because his father had never mentioned any news of his mother to him, and even if he asked noisily, his father had never told him.

He has been under house arrest in the Jin Mansion since he was a child, and only Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou know about his mother's affairs, but Li Yu doesn't say it, and Xiao Zhouhou always scolds himself for being a little mongrel, and he has no way of knowing his mother's situation at all.

And now that Li Yu took the initiative to say it, no matter how calm Li Xiaoyao was, his heart was also turbulent at this time, he felt that his father's behavior was abnormal, and at the same time, he strongly wanted to know about his mother's situation, but he just looked at Li Yu and didn't know how to ask.

Li Yu put down the hibiscus cake, his eyes looked at the ethereal sky outside the window, and he said: "That day, she was wearing a red dress, and her face was as red as her clothes, from that moment on, I understood that it was I who loved her, not Da Zhouhou." “

Li Yu walked to the window, Li Xiaoyao also followed, Li Yu's eyes were still looking at the air, and he didn't seem to see anything, he said: "Before that, I always thought that I loved Da Zhouhou, after Da Zhouhou died, 'Chunyou Siyou' saw me haggard day by day and visited all over the country to find a person who looked similar to Da Zhouhou, in order to relieve my lovesickness. ”

Li Yu suddenly turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyao, in fact, Li Xiaoyao was only fifteen years old, and he was still ignorant of love, but Li Yu was about to tell him something, because he had been depressed for a long time, as if he was destined to explain these things to Li Xiaoyao today.

Li Yu said: "Although the 'Four Friends of Chunyou' is for my good, they don't know, even if they find someone who looks similar? What I want is not a stand-in, I want someone who really has the same heart, who loves me and understands me like Da Zhouhou." However, when your mother appeared in front of my eyes, I knew that I loved her, it turned out that loving someone is not a heart-to-heart connection, but the feeling when I see it for the first time, and this feeling is only deeply experienced when I see your mother. ”

Li Xiaoyao finally couldn't help it, he asked, "Who is my mother?"

Li Yu said: "She is the daughter of Xiao Siwen, the privy counselor of the Northern Court of Liaoguo, her name is Xiao Yanyan. ”

Li Xiaoyao's mouth opened wide, and he said: "What? My mother is from Liao? Half of the blood I shed is from Liao? Dad, although we are under house arrest by the Song lord, after all, we are also Han people, and the Liao people have violated them repeatedly, and the people have complained again and again, after all, no one wants to see war, so I hate the Liao people......

Li Yu didn't wait for Li Xiaoyao to finish speaking, and interrupted: "Xiaoyao, your mother is doing this for me, since she became the queen of King Tianqing Liang of Liao, she has been bent on saving me out and helping me restore the country, so she is looking at Lord Song." ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "Huh?"

Li Yu said: "Xiaoyao, where is your white jade plate finger? That is of course the only token left to me by your mother, and the dark pattern in it actually leaves your name, which is the proof of your mother and son meeting in the future." ”

Li Xiaoyao's heart was frenzied, and he suddenly heard the jade plate finger, and he said: "I, I gave my eldest brother as a token." But I also happened to want to find him, because in order to help me, I had no intention of getting a Seven Spirit Sword, and I gave the sword to the little prince, and the little prince gave him the Seven Spirit Sword in order to please the crown prince Zhao Dezhao. However, the man who lost his sword must have been anxious, so I decided to go there and find out. ”

Li Yu said: "Good boy, you should be calm in your heart. ”

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and at this moment, I heard the voice of the little prince Zhao Heng: "Li Xiaoyao, Li Xiaoyao, where are you?"
