Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

March has arrived, the wild geese are flying back, the grass on the embankment is green, and all the animals in the mountains are out of their holes. It is a good time for spring hunting.This spring hunting was the first time in the new dynasty, and the emperor attached great importance to it. He ordered people to arrange sacrifices in the hunting palace early on, with flags fluttering, gold armor and silver helmets, and a mighty posture.

This time during the spring hunt, Bixin brought a noble man of the first class, Li Jijun, who was originally exempted from accompanying him in the harem, but Qingyang invited a document to say that he wanted to go together, and Bixin agreed very readily.The queen mother said that it is not easy for widows to get involved in things like hunting, and she was afraid of hurting Yin De, so she ordered the emperor to take a few reliable concubines to go with Qingyang, so that there would be a support on the way.So Bi Xin took Wan Zhao and Juan Li to take care of Qing Yang, and asked them to support each other, and not to move around when there was nothing to do, and to rest in their own palace.

Ever since the emperor said that Prince Xuan was ill, the words in the Cheqiu Pavilion were really ill. Sometimes the emperor dared to push back when he came. Prince Xuan lay on the sickbed for half a month without seeing anyone.There are many rumors outside that Prince Xuan is unlucky in his fate. He went to other places for half a year and lost the last bit of dragon energy in his body. Enjoy.

This time, the Emperor of Spring Hunting brought Prince Xuan out, and all the officials of the royal family murmured in private that they didn't know what was going on. See, Prince Xuan hid in the carriage along the way and never showed his face. , I don’t know if his illness is cured or not.

After the memorial ceremony, several young masters were very active. Prince Xuan was not in good health, and King Yi never cared about such things. Even a student from a foreign race in Lianzhi Palace couldn’t steal the limelight. They made every effort to show off their respective prestige.

Everyone saw that Prince Xuan was still wearing the red gold inlaid with red and yellow sapphires and embossed with a dragon pattern, which was awarded by the emperor, but he was wearing a green satin cloak with a snow-white sable fur border and a bucket of pearls inside. The little lamb was wearing a short jacket and suede jacket trousers, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.Prince Xuan asked for a decree not to hunt, but the emperor insisted on rewarding Prince Xuan with the Dawan colt, and would rather let him lead him for a walk in the woods than let others hunt on it.Many princes have been staring at the two fine horses in the emperor's hand, waiting for the emperor to reward the top one among them when he is happy. Who would have thought that one horse would be missing as soon as it came up, there is no way, everyone knows whether the emperor loves Prince Xuan On either side, they can only see if they can get the other one.

The emperor's hair crown is similar to that of Prince Xuan, only the dragon pattern is slightly different. The cape is matched with otter fur collar, and the inside is cloud-digging gold, and the inside is a white safari suit embroidered with velvet. The dragon pattern of gold thread and ruby.He rode a horse and led the crowd into the forest to hunt. Originally, the crowd could barely follow the emperor's horseshoes.But the horse hooves of the Dawan horse were blown by the wind, like an arrow piercing the clouds, it disappeared in a short while.The crowd didn't chase after them, since there were patrolling guards all around them, and they were not afraid of His Majesty's safety, if they followed closely, it would be difficult to use their hands and feet.

Only half a day later, the emperor turned back at some point, took Prince Xuan and two riders back to the camp from the shore of the lake, and personally ordered Prince Xuan to inspect the beasts.As a result, when he sat back on the Dragon Seat and held the water bag to rest, he remembered his prey and the horse that had been left in the lawn by the lake and had long been forgotten.He also asked the attendants to quickly retrieve the things and steal a look at Prince Xuan, for fear that he would laugh at him again if he saw it.

It's only been two or three days since I arrived at the Hunting Palace, and it's Du Pin's birthday, Liufu gave him a day off, so Du Pin changed into his clothes and relaxed.

Du Pin was wearing a calamus-colored satin coat with fringe and feathers, a jade-inlaid silver hair crown with half a lock of hair, and a pair of threaded leather boots. He was really dressed like a young man.On weekdays, when he had a rest, Du Pin would put on good clothes and hang out outside the palace. No one would be able to tell that such a handsome brother was from the palace.

Du Pin is very familiar with this hunting palace. He came here a few times when the late emperor was here, all in time for his birthday. He has seen every scene and everything inside, nothing new. Going out for a walk by yourself would not cause any guards to feel inappropriate, so they took Liufu's token and walked out of the palace.

The hunting palace was backed by the back mountain, so Du Pin didn't go to the hunting ground to mess around, he just went to see the scenery of the back mountain.Hunting Palace is located in the northern suburbs of the capital, and on the mountain. The weather is much colder than that in the palace, and the flowers bloom slower than those in the palace. But just right.

Originally, Du Pin was in a good mood, but when he saw the cherry blossoms, he became angry.Since the last time Du Pin went to Yunpingzhai and saw Lianzhi Palace, that guy stuck to it like a dog's skin plaster.Before, Yunpingzhai only delivered some things to Liufu once a day, but since then, I wish I could deliver things eight times a day, food and clothing, and I wish I could give away the empty Yunpingzhai. It's for Du Guan.

Du Pin was ashamed and afraid of being praised and killed like this, for fear that his master would not be able to justify it.Fortunately Liu Fu returned to Gong Chengri and stayed in the inner hall, and didn't know anything about the courtyard, so he ordered the people in the courtyard not to talk too much.Although he couldn't hide it from him, fortunately, His Majesty didn't make it difficult for him, as if he didn't know anything, and followed Yun Pingzhai's troubles.

Du Pin was afraid that he couldn't hide this matter, so he secretly went to Yunpingzhai to ask Lianzhi Palace to take back the reward, because he couldn't bear such flattery.Lianzhigong told him that if he came to Yunpingzhai every day to accompany him to enjoy flowers, taste tea, and listen to shakuhachi, he would not send things to Cheqiu Pavilion.But how could Du Pin have that spare time to spend in Yunpingzhai, besides, if he had time, wouldn't he want to hang out with him?One servant does not serve two masters. If Liu Fu knows about it, he is afraid that he will be asked by his ears.

Who would have thought that the dignified prince of a country would go to the vicinity of Cheqiu Pavilion to block Du Pin when he had nothing to do, and Du Pin would be afraid when he came once or twice, so he said that he would accompany him for a walk every day after school at Lianzhi Palace, and at other times he must go Don't bother.Lian Zhigong was also very happy, saying that this was very good, the two of them talked for a few days, Lian Zhigong had completely covered Du Pin's family background, knowing that he was the son of a criminal minister, and all his family members had been killed. He was sent to the palace at a young age.Because he could still read a few words, he arranged to serve the sweeper in the upper study room. Liu Fu saw that he was obedient and comfortable, so he was transferred to his own palace. After getting to know Liu Fu well, he became the most important attendant by his side. .

Du Pin was not so repulsed when he accompanied Lian Zhigong to school every day, and it was quite interesting to hear him talk about the scenery of Japan.Who knew it was alright, the day before departure, Na Lianzhi Palace insisted that the slaves were not well behaved, and asked Du Pin to drag him into his palace with half coaxing and half teasing, but in the end he prepared a banquet and said It is peaceful to go out and have a feast with the people close to you.

Du Pin left in a hurry after drinking two cups of sake, but left his hat there. When he turned back, he secretly hated Lian Zhigong, who said that he respected people only after he took off his hat and had a meal. In fact, he was looking at his beautiful black hair. , During the dinner, he stroked his hair while talking.

The more he thought about Du Pin, the angrier he became. Thinking that he was playing tricks on him every day, and insisted on breaking up with him, he was so angry that he stared at the cherry blossoms falling on the ground and wanted to step on it, but he followed suit. , I cherish the feelings of flowers, but I can't bear to spoil things, so I turned around and prepared to go to Lian Zhigong to clarify my words.

"That guy comes to pester me every day, but I haven't seen him these few days, I don't know what's wrong with him, let me meet him, I have to make it clear." Du Pin twisted a section of hair with his fingers, and said to himself.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, so you miss me too." At some point, Lian Zhigong has followed, dressed in hunting clothes, with thin and flat sleeves, twirling a bat fan, wearing a black hat and talking to Du Pin with a smile.

Du Pin looked around to see if there was no one there, and said, "My lord, don't come again."

"Today is Pin's birthday. I heard that your country attaches great importance to this day, so I want to congratulate you."

"I'm just a slave, so there's nothing to congratulate. It's a great grace to steal a day off."

Lian Zhigong stepped forward and took Du Pin's hand and said: "I brought some food, let's enjoy it together."

Du Pin was helplessly dragged away by him, he lost the courage to go forward and talk to Lian Zhigong just now.

After walking a few steps, a lacquered wooden food box was placed on a large rock, and Lian Zhigong brought it over in person. When he opened it, it was a snack made of various rice cakes. Du Pin picked up a piece and ate it unceremoniously. People walk and talk.

"The one with red bean filling is quite delicious." Du Pin said with a smile as he ate the tough and fragrant rice cake.

"This is the glutinous rice I brought from Kyoto to relieve my homesickness. I also made this rice cake. It's my heart." Lian Zhigong smiled at the food box.

"You made this for me with your own hands?" Du Pin looked at the rice cake in his hand and said with a dazed expression, "It's been 15 years, and no one has specially made it for me."

Lian Zhigong stopped and turned his face, smiling at Du Pin with beautiful eyes, "May you have today every year, and today every year."

"How did you learn it? Don't you guys celebrate birthdays?" Du Pin lowered his head and blinked.

"It's not, but it's my one-year-old birthday, and the festival is to carry rice cakes on my back."

Du Pin almost choked on a mouthful of rice cakes, looked at the rice cakes and looked at Lian Zhigong, said with embarrassment and annoyance: "So you dismissed me like a child." Then he turned his back and stamped his feet: "Ignore you."

As Du Pin was talking, he felt some movement in the grass beside him. Before he could react, he heard the sound of Lian Zhigong putting down the food box, and then a gust of fragrant wind blew towards Du Pin, and Lian Zhigong hugged him. Du Pin squatted down after reaching a tree.Du Pin's eyes widened but he didn't dare to speak or move, the breath in his nose rubbed back and forth on the back of Lian Zhigong's hand.Lian Zhigong's hand was tightly pressed against his lips, this warm touch made Du Pin's whole body tremble.
