Eastward Flow

The familiar lilac on that adult, the deja vu eyes, and the gentle tone of voice that had accompanied him for many years made Zhong Lisuo suddenly think of the person he was thinking of.

She has seen her queen.

The moment he realized it, Zhong Lisuo's heart was full of joy, but in an instant he was filled with infinite regret.She finally saw the queen again, but it was a pity that she didn't recognize her in an instant.

Presumably, dressing up as a guard in the golden robe guard is something that person can do.The body's reaction was faster than the brain's. After the reaction, Zhong Lisuo had already started running towards the place where he was separated from the queen.

"Su, where are you going?"

Where to go, of course it is to find her queen.She crossed the sea of ​​fire, she was reborn from the dead, she trekked from the distant Lanzhou, was it just to see the queen again?

"I'll wait for you to come back." Zhong Lisuo said this, and he didn't break his promise.

The young man in red shuttled through the Yulong Pavilion, his reckless figure looked like a light swallow.Le Zhengying, who was dazed by his younger brother's thoughtless movements, looked around and followed Zhong Lisuo, ignoring other things.

"Su, Su..." Le Zhengying quickly followed Zhong Lisuo, calling her name in a low voice.

It was as if Zhong Lisuo couldn't hear anything, so he just kept moving forward.Like the moment when he was suffocated by the flames in that fire, he stretched out his hand towards the past that he could only recall.

"'The son of heaven guards the gate of the country, the king guards the country.' This sentence was said to me by Zitong. If you go to the north, you will guard the imperial city alone, so that the king's rear will be safe and sound."

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations."

……

"Do you think I'd be a good king?"

"As long as His Highness works hard, with His Highness's compassionate heart for all people, he will definitely become a wise king through the ages."

……

"The cherry blossoms in the East Palace are really blooming. I think the scenery outside the imperial city will be even more beautiful in this season. If the general marries me, the only thing you can see in this life is the cherry blossoms in this garden. General, even if this is the case, I am willing Will you marry me?"

"His Royal Highness is worrying too much. In my eyes, His Royal Highness is a good man."

……

Scenes of the past flashed through my mind, and what was finally frozen in my mind was the first time they saw them in the ruined temple in Yunzhou.Mr. Jianlu, in ragged clothes, held a black porcelain medicine bowl, turned his back to the wounded soldiers and refugees in a temple, looked at the young general in front of him who was riding a Koshizaki black horse and wearing silver armor, and asked:

"Who is Your Excellency?"

When the general on the horse saw her, he quickly got off his horse and bowed halfway in front of her: "Chen Xuan Jingchen, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The crown prince lowered his head, the general raised his eyes, and the moment their eyes met, Zhong Lisuo felt that he had seen the only light in his life that she could chase after except Shakuhachi.

Zhong lisuo ran to the railing that he had reached before, and looked around anxiously, his eyes gleaming with hope.

Zitong...

Zitong...

She looked around, but she didn't see any trace of that person.At that time, Le Zhengying came just in time. Seeing the younger brother searching in a panic, he grabbed her arm, "Su, what are you looking for? Looking for that lord just now?"

Zhong Lisuo nodded anxiously, but didn't react at all. Le Zhengying was worried about her poor health when she was pregnant, and she became a little anxious. My lord, Ah Su, don't worry. Tell my sister, is there any discomfort in your body?"

Le Zhengying vaguely knew about Le Zhengsu's symptoms in the letter from his parents.Le Zhengsu, who was still lying on the bed a few years ago, would get up inexplicably and run outside.At this moment, she was very worried about whether Le Zhengsu had an illness, and she was extremely anxious.

The medical workers all said that Le Zhengsu needs to rest and rest, and not to think too much.Was it just because he was thinking about returning gifts to others, so he became worried.That's right, Su didn't have much contact with people, and when he suddenly met someone who showed kindness to her, he must have the intention of repaying him well in his heart.

After all, the mother said, Su is so pure and kind, with a warm heart.

Thinking of this, Le Zhengying couldn't help persuading her a few more words, hugged her and said, "Okay, don't think about it, don't think about it."

The body was hugged tightly, which drew Zhong Lisuo's attention back.When she looked up, she saw the eldest sister holding her with a worried face, and a pang of apology welled up in her heart.She has always done things more casually, but she doesn't want to worry about it.

She bowed her head and said in a low voice: "It's okay to go back, I made a mistake, and I made my elder sister worry about me again." She couldn't help sighing in her heart, and put away her thoughts of seeing each other again.Zhong Lisuo thought happily, at least he had a few words with the queen tonight.

Le Zhengying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing her finally recover.Just as he was about to open his lips to say something, a bell rang to the ground, the sound of playing music disappeared, and a gentle voice came to his ears.

"Tonight is the day of family reunion. I am very happy that you are invited to come here. I just walked around Yulong Pavilion and saw many young talents from Daqing. I am very pleased." Sitting on the supreme throne, looking at his courtiers with a pair of warm eyes, he whispered softly: "Tonight's dance music is also very beautiful, safe, you did a good job."

Princess Ping'an is the head of the Privy Council, leading a group of officials in the Privy Council and responsible for drafting policies for His Majesty.But at the same time, the Eldest Princess also has several roles. For example, this palace banquet is all arranged by the Eldest Princess and the Ministry of Rites.This should have been the responsibility of the empress or the emperor's husband, but since the position of empress and empress is now vacant, it was handed over to the eldest princess.

Princess Ping'an heard the words, bowed slightly and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty's absurd praise."

Everyone's eyes fell on the most conspicuous position on the third floor of Yulong Pavilion, Zhong Lisuo was no exception.She broke away from her eldest sister, lay down on the railing, and looked at the woman who appeared on the honored seat diagonally above, with joy in her eyes.

That was her queen, her Zitong.

Different from the red and black orthodox dragon robes worn by all the empresses of the former Chu, Xuan Jingchen, who is an emperor, is wearing a red dress embroidered with golden dragons tonight.

After a long distance, Zhong Lisuo recognized the Queen's eyebrows, looked at her moving lips, familiar eyebrows and eyes, and saw her face that had never changed, feeling very satisfied.

She hasn't changed anything, she still has the same brilliance as before.Zhong Lisuo was so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud, and also wanted to call her queen, all of this was lost between his lips and teeth when all the people shouted in unison, Your Majesty.

In the end, in the end, she just wanted to say something softly to the other party——

Gu is waiting for you, Zitong.

Le Zhengying noticed the strangeness of the young man. She followed the young man's line of sight to look at the queen on the high seat, and turned her head to see the brilliance in the young man's eyes.She knew that the empress, who became famous at a young age and was victorious in all battles, was a god-like belief in the eyes of all boys and girls.

Could it be that her younger sister was also captured by His Majesty?

Thinking of this in her heart, Le Zhengying frowned.He stretched out his hand to grab his younger sister, and called again: "Su."

"Huh?" Zhong Lisuo turned his head, joy and admiration were clearly written in his black and white eyes.Le Zhengying swallowed the words on his lips, thinking to forget it, it might just be the admiration for His Majesty from his younger brother who has never seen the world.And even if it is affection, it depends on whether His Majesty can respond to this child.

Perhaps his own joy was too obvious, and Zhong Lisuo, who was afraid that his elder sister would notice something, thought for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Le Zhengying brightly, "Eldest sister, your majesty looks nothing like the one in the legend, but he really looks very good." nice."

Sure enough, it's still a child's mind.Le Zhengying thought about it, and replied: "A Su, don't make fun of Your Majesty."

"But Your Majesty is really nice, sister. Can I stay here until the banquet is over?" She looked at Le Zhengying expectantly, and tried her best to pretend to be a curious boy.

Le Zhengying couldn't refuse her request, so she stood here with Zhong Lisuo all night.

This is God's favor for her, so that she can see the queen again.In her short life, there were few bright colors.The assassin who gave birth to her killed her father after she was born, and wiped out her father's family, the Yang family, and then left her in the cold palace to be with that gentle adoptive mother.

Later, her adoptive mother passed away, and the assassin emperor threw her to the old cloud king to raise her.But the good times didn't last long. A few years later, the Zhongzhou rebellion brought disasters to Yunzhou. The old King Yunzhong died in battle.Until she was found by Xuan Jingchen, and returned to Yuanzhou to take over the East Palace.

In her life of being abandoned like dead branches and leaves, only the queen never left her and accompanied her from adolescence to youth.The queen is the most lively, most upright, and most concerned about the country and the people she has ever seen.

The queen is the most respected hero in her life.

Perhaps it was because His Majesty the Eastern Emperor felt that he owed her too much in his previous life, so he gave her a chance to meet the queen again.If this is the case, she will definitely work harder to live, and then walk brightly in front of the queen.

Regardless of whether there will be results or not, I also want to speak out a question that I have been afraid to ask.

Are you willing to spend your whole life with me like this?Zitong.

The young man lying on the railing was full of longing, and the queen sitting on the throne concentrated on watching the singing and dancing below. She turned her head occasionally and bumped into the unusually handsome young man.

The boy was looking at her, focused and serious.The queen's heart skipped a beat, and a long-lost emotion suddenly flooded her heart.

The queen knew who the boy was, and they were so alike that the thought of it would distract the queen.

She suddenly remembered the appearance of that person, from the age of 16 to 21, it seemed that the same layer of appearance did not change.A sickly pale face forever, a thin, tall and straight body, and a pair of bright black eyes that shone with light no matter what.

The queen looked away, and her thoughts began to drift away.A vague coldness surrounded her whole body, and she couldn't help but squeeze the blanket laid on the armrest of the throne tightly, hoping to catch some warmth.

It's a bit cold, the queen thought so.

She began to miss the Zhaohui Palace in the imperial city that was always burning hot.
