Eastward Flow

After the cherry blossoms withered, the emperor decreed that the Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World would marry the prince.The head of Jiantiansi ordered the crown prince and the general to calculate the astrolabe, and set a good and auspicious day on the first day of August.

The royal family of the Chu Kingdom hadn't managed such a prosperous world for many years. Since the imperial decree came down, the Ministry of Rites and the Superintendent of Heaven have been so busy that they never touched the ground.Perhaps it was the wedding of the only child, and the emperor was particularly concerned about it.From the arrangement of the guests in the banquet process to the small dress accessories, the emperor did it himself.

Zhong Lichen has never been too concerned about government affairs, seeing her arrange the prince's wedding now, most of the ministers think that she is in high spirits again.Compared with the emperor's concern, Zhong Lisuo and Xuan Jingchen, who were the parties involved, didn't feel much.

On this day, the Department of Shangyi brought over the newly modified dress. Zhong Lisuo, who had been studying hard in the study, was summoned by the emperor and rushed to the Qianyuan Hall to try on the dress again.

Sitting in front of the case, the emperor looked at Zhong Lisuo, who was surrounded by maids, and frowned, and said, "The wedding dress is red, but the crown prince still looks too thin and not stable enough to wear it. Change it into a crown dress." Bar."

Si Zheng of Shang Yi Division looked at the emperor's expression, hesitant to speak.Zhong Lisuo saw it, looked up at the emperor, bowed his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, I got married in just over a month, and I feel that I'm fine now."

The emperor frowned, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile: "Forget it, those who are thin and immature look at the youth, that's it."

After a lot of tossing, the wedding dress was finally decided.There are many other things like this, such as whether the prince wears a sword or not on the wedding day, such as the dowry of the princess, which has been chosen many times.

The emperor seemed to be greedy for novelty, treating the prince as a child who could be teased at will, and dressed up to his heart's content.Zhong Lisuo followed her, he really felt that he couldn't choose, so he would give his opinion.

The wedding was approaching, and the weather suddenly changed again.Zhong Lisuo, who had been tossing about the marriage for several days, lingered on the bed after a heavy rain.She lay in a coma for several days, and fell into a deep sleep with a high fever, as if she would never wake up again.

The group of doctors were at a loss what to do, seeing the frowning emperor sitting in front of the prince's bed every day, they were all trembling and fearful.The prince's high fever persists, and the medicine stone is useless.In the end, the chief minister ordered Qinglan to do the divination, saying that the crown prince was suffering from a serious illness, but it was caused by evil spirits, and the emperor ordered General Xuan Jingchen to enter the East Palace to suppress the evil spirits.

The emperor allowed to play, and invited the general into the East Palace, but within a day, the prince woke up.

After the high fever subsided, the weak prince still lay in bed every day, unable to get up.For the sake of the prince, the emperor kept Xuan Jingchen in the East Palace.

Zhong Lisuo fell asleep on the bed most of the time, and when he was a little awake, he walked around with the help of his servants.Xuan Jingchen waited in the side hall, holding books all day long, listening to the small movements in the hall, and quietly being a door god.

The emperor often came to see Zhonglisuo, and only came after Zhonglisuo fell asleep.Every time he came, the emperor would just sit on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at that childish sleeping face, without saying a word.

Xuan Jingchen, who was sitting in the side hall, saw her go in silently and leave silently every time. During this period, he could not hear anything else except his own flipping the pages of the book.

Unlike other mothers, the emperor begged her only child to get well soon, she looked very calm, only the growing pity in her eyes revealed her worries.

Da Si Ming's divination has always been very effective. Seven days after Xuan Jingchen entered the East Palace, His Highness finally recovered from his illness.

After recovering from the illness, Zhong Lisuo knew that the general had followed her order and guarded her day and night for seven days.

Zhong lisuo was very grateful for this.On this day, Zhong Lisuo, who recovered, wore a purple round neck robe and went to Zhaohui Hall to meet the emperor.Seeing that she was almost recovered, the emperor gave her supplements, and said a few more times, "It will be cool in autumn in a while, so be careful, and don't get sick again."

"Yes, I must keep in mind that it is my disobedience that worries the Emperor." Zhong Lisuo lowered his eyes, which were still morbidly blue.

The emperor glanced at her and felt a great pain in his heart. He didn't show it on his face, and said, "Fortunately, you will get married soon, and the princess will take care of you after you get married. After you get married, everything will be fine."

When she said the last sentence, there was infinite vicissitudes in her eyes, as if she was hiding something that could not be said.

Zhong Lisuo nodded and made a promise.

The emperor looked at her well-behaved appearance, thought for a while, and said, "When you were seriously ill, thanks to the concubine's care, I gave you some rare treasures. You can go to the General's Mansion in the afternoon and thank her very much."

"My son was originally planning to go, but the wedding is approaching, so I'm afraid it's unreasonable."

The emperor glanced at her casually, "We Chu people don't pay much attention to this vain etiquette, if you are told to go, you will go."

Only then did Zhong Lisuo feel relieved, and made a promise with his hands folded.

After noon, Zhong Lisuo came to visit with gifts.

Xuan Jingchen, who was training in the barracks in the outer city, hurried back after receiving the news of the family order, and immediately saw Zhong Lisuo sitting in the main hall.On this sunny afternoon, the prince was wearing a purple round-neck robe that was thicker than ordinary people, holding a cup in his hand and looking at the clear tea thoughtfully.

Xuan Jingchen, who came in from outside the room full of sunlight, looked at the white and immature side face reflected in his eyelids, and stopped in his tracks.She looked at Zhong Lisuo's fingertips holding the teacup, subconsciously rubbed her fingers, and looked down at her clothes.

He was dressed in a red gauze warrior robe, with wet marks from the late summer heat on his body.Xuan Jingchen rubbed his fingertips, feeling a rusty smell of weapons reaching the tip of his nose.For some reason, looking at the luxuriously dressed prince sitting in the shadow not far away, she felt a little bit unable to go any further.

Just absent minded for a moment, Zhong Lisuo raised his eyes as if aware of it, and instantly pulled the handsome figure of the warrior into his eyes.She smiled, put down the cup in her hand, and said with a smile: "The general is back."

Xuan Jingchen was shaken by such a soft smile, hurriedly regained his consciousness, bowed his hands and bowed, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhong Lisuo got up, walked towards Xuan Jingchen, and said, "You don't have to be polite, general, I'm here today to thank the general."

"When I was sick, I was lucky to be accompanied by the general, so I was able to recover. Therefore, Zhaoming prepared some small gifts today to thank the general for his kindness."

Looking at Zhong Lisuo who was getting closer, Xuan Jingchen took a step back subconsciously, and replied: "Your Highness is serious, it is the duty of a minister to protect the monarch."

Zhong Lisuo's footsteps were slightly sluggish, and even the smile on her face faded a little. She coughed lightly and said, "It's my fault for disturbing the general when he's at work. But since he's here, I don't know the general Would you like to take me around the mansion?"

Xuan Jingchen frowned slightly, nodded after thinking about it, and said: "His Royal Highness Rumeng will not give up, and this minister will naturally accompany His Highness. However, this minister just came back from the army, dressed in sloppy clothes, which may irritate His Highness. I wonder if His Highness will agree Yun Chen went to change a set of clothes before coming back."

Zhong Lisuo was taken aback, she looked at the petite and beautiful woman in front of her, her brows and eyes softened, "General, please do what you want."

Xuan Jingchen resigned, returned to the inner room and changed into a light-colored gauze dress.The originally delicate woman, wearing a light gauze under the bright sun in late summer, looks even more slim and exquisite.Zhong Lisuo lowered his eyes, looking at the woman who was walking towards him, his eyebrows and eyes curved.

When she approached, the cold fragrance belonging to Su He floated to the tip of her nose.Zhong Lisuo stood beside her and asked in a low voice, "Does the general like Su He Lengxiang?"

Different from the heavy agarwood on Zhonglisuo's body, this kind of cold fragrance makes people feel cold.She is clearly such a gentle woman, why use such cold incense?

Xuan Jingchen was slightly startled, and replied: "Yes, the summer is hot, so I smoked cold incense. Your Highness, are you not used to it?"

Zhong Lisuo shook his head, and only replied, "Very good."

Xuan Jingchen relaxed, and heard Zhong Lisuo say again, "It's just that it smells a little cold."

She froze her steps slightly, looked at Zhonglisuo's heavy robe, and remembered that this person was afraid of the cold.The crown prince is not in good health, and Xuan Jingchen only knew about it when he was seriously ill some time ago.

On the day the crown prince was born, the emperor ordered to kill many Tai Dao people, which offended the Eastern Emperor.The nobles in Yuanzhou City are saying that this evil fruit fell on the descendants of the emperor.The most intuitive manifestation is that the emperor has only had one heir, the prince, for many years, and since the prince was born, he has been raised in the deep palace because of his weak bones.

After Xuan Jingchen went to the East Palace to guard Zhong Lisuo, he heard many rumors one after another.Some people say that the crown prince's astrolabe is too light, and he will not live to be 20 years old. Some people say that she has a heavy murderous body, and her majesty can shake the world.

When Xuan Jingchen and the prince's wedding date was approaching, there was a lot of rumors about her martial arts among the people, as if she was No. 1 in Chu.

Xuan Jingchen didn't know if it was the emperor trying to build up momentum for the prince, or the factions were trying to flatter the prince.During this period of time, she was still loyal to her duty and prayed for Zhong lisuo's recovery.

She is well aware of the current situation, if Zhong Lisuo lives well, it will be beneficial to her but not harmful.

It's just, how long can such a weak body last?Really, can't live to be 20 years old?

Xuan Jingchen frowned as he looked at the person beside him who seemed about to fall when the wind blew.She led Zhong lisuo to the backyard, silent all the way.

Zhong Lisuo listened to the footsteps of the two, glanced at the greenery that gradually opened up, and said, "Sisters of the general, are you arriving in Yuanzhou soon?"

"We'll be there in a few days." Xuan Jingchen replied softly when he had something to say.

Zhong Lisuo nodded, and replied, "At that time, I will go to the ferry with the general to pick you up."

Xuan Jingchen paused, looked up at Zhong Lisuo who was beside him, and sighed, "Your Highness is just recovering from a serious illness, so don't run around." She frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Today, His Highness shouldn't come either. Yes. If you get sick again, my minister..."

Zhong Lisuo avoided her eyes, looked at the open bamboo forest in front of him, and smiled, "The backyard of the General's Mansion is exquisite and beautiful, I wonder if the General can have a cup of tea with me?"

Seeing that she avoided the topic, Xuan Jingchen had no choice but to nod, "I will order someone to prepare."

Zhong Lisuo nodded, walked side by side with her towards the gazebo beside the bamboo forest, and said, "It's His Majesty who came here today to thank the general, so the general can rest assured."

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with the general."

Xuan Jingchen raised his eyes and looked at the very handsome prince standing in front of the bamboo grove, with doubts in his eyes.The prince lowered his eyes, his overly fair face was serious, "If the general trusts me, after the wedding, can you let Lingmei live in the East Palace?"

"The Eastern Palace is heavily guarded. I can dispatch all the soldiers and guards of the Eastern Palace to you." The Eastern Palace with her is always much safer than the empty and weakly guarded General's Mansion.

If she wanted to reuse Xuan Jingchen, she naturally had to make him feel at ease.They are about to become partners, so it is necessary to establish enough trust as husband and wife.

"Since the general is about to become my wife, Zhao Ming must trust the general wholeheartedly." Zhong Lisuo sniffed the cold fragrance on the other party's body, and said word by word: "If the general believes in me, then the East Palace belongs to the general."

Is a promise from a monarch and an unmarried partner, or a contract of exchange, worth trusting?At this moment when he should be thinking carefully, Xuan Jingchen looked into those dark eyes but lost his mind.

The prince in a purple robe faced the verdant bamboo forest with his back, standing tall and straight like a pine and cypress under the slanting sunlight.The general, who has always been quiet, looked at the person in front of him, but his mind echoed the scriptures that he had recited countless times while sitting in the Hongwenguan dormitory many years ago.

——Zhan Bi Qi Ao, Green Bamboo Yi Yi.There are bandits and gentlemen, who are as sharp as cutting, and as sharp as grinding.Sexi 僩xi, hexi 咺xi.There are bandits and gentlemen, and they must not be despised.

What should an enviable gentleman in this world look like?Probably the same as the person in front of him.

Mr. Lang has a good color.

The author has something to say: In the beginning, it was probably the face that caught my eye.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.I especially like the feeling of two souls leaning on each other, even if there is nothing in the world, as long as you are still with me, I can get through all the bitter cold seasons.

I have always appreciated this feeling, and I am working hard to write for it!

Hey, as for the new article, I can’t write this year. I can only publish one work a year. I just hope that every time I write a new work, it will be regarded as another new encounter.

Who knows one day we will meet again in another place.Isn't it good to make friends with literature?

The diary is planned to be released, and I have to wait for the artist to finish all the drawings, so it is estimated that it will be June or July.Memmada (Must go to see Girls' Last Tour ahhhhh)
