Thousands of miles with the wind

On the day of Xiumu, the sky was bright and clear, and the wind was breezy. Gu Siyuan put on a water-green gauze dress and went out in a carriage.The carriage drove Gu Siyuan along the East Avenue, all the way to Plum Blossom Village in the east of the city.

The city of Yuanzhou is surrounded by mountains in the north and water in the south. The vast Taibai Mountains run across from east to west and are rich in hot springs.The Plum Blossom Village in the east of the city is the largest hot spring village in Yuanzhou City.Zhuangzi is surrounded by plum trees. Every winter, when the snow is falling, the pink and white flowers in the forest are the only beauty in this harsh winter.

When spring comes, the plum blossoms fall, and when the wind blows, the plum blossom village is full of greenery.Under the vitality everywhere, the spring grass gradually sprouts, the spring flowers gradually bloom, and everywhere is full of vitality, which is another scene.

Regardless of winter or spring, Plum Blossom Village is a good place for young men and women in the imperial capital.

Naturally, Gu Siyuan didn't go to Meihuazhuang to soak in the hot springs, but her mother said that the person she was going to meet today would meet her at Meihuazhuang, so she had to take a carriage to Meihuazhuang early.

The carriage drove for more than an hour, and stopped for a while at the foot of the distant mountain in Plum Blossom Village.Gu Siyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, waited for a long time before the carriage took a step forward, so he opened his mouth and asked the female guard driving through a curtain, "Why did you stop here for a long time?"

If there is a female emperor in Chu, there will naturally be women in the officialdom, and there will naturally be female wives, female guards, etc. among the people.Gu Siyuan looked powerless, so the Gu family allotted her with more delicate female guards.

The female guard replied: "Second Miss, take a rest today, and there are a lot of people going to the Taiyi Temple to burn incense. In addition, there were some disputes ahead, so we blocked here for a while."

Gu Siyuan thought for a while, got up and took a few steps, and opened the car curtain.The bright sunlight hit her face directly, she squinted slightly, and it took a while to relieve the stinging feeling caused by the strong light, and she could see clearly what was in front of her eyes.

A long line of carriages lined up in front, winding their way up the distant mountain path, and finally disappeared in the secluded green forest.Many young men and women in light tulle got out of the carriage and walked on the right side of the carriage, forming a winding ribbon and heading deep into the mountain path.

Gu Siyuan looked up and saw several majestic Taoist temples among the peaks on the top of the mountain in the distance. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Just send me here. I'll get off the car by myself and walk to Plum Blossom Village."

The female guard frowned, obviously disapproving of her actions, "Second Miss, my lord asked me to follow you to protect you, we'd better wait a little longer..."

Gu Siyuan shook his head, lifted the curtain and came out, jumped out of the carriage neatly, and then said to her: "Listen to me, take a rest today, I don't know how many people come to Taiyi Temple to burn incense, I'm afraid it will be blocked for a long time. I will make an appointment It's not easy for people to wait for me. Just drive the carriage, go to the parking post not far away, leave the carriage and you can do whatever you want, as long as you come back before Yinshi."

"I, Yinzheng, will go back to the parking post, don't worry. This is at the foot of Taiyiguan, guarded by guards and Taoist Taiyiguan, no one can hurt me. Go, you. Be obedient."

She was so reasonable, and she talked like coaxing a child.The female guard knew that she had nothing to do with her, so she could only say: "Then Miss Second, be careful and come back early."

"Yeah." Gu Siyuan nodded, said and left, and disappeared into the crowd heading towards the mountain.

Gu Siyuan has good physical strength, and her footsteps are faster than the young men and women around her, but within a quarter of an hour, she crossed the place where the sun was fierce and entered the deep plum forest.

In the height of spring, the branches are covered with plums.Under the lush forest, shade-loving mountain flowers bloom everywhere, colorful everywhere.Seeing this beautiful scenery, Gu Siyuan couldn't help slowing down, walking in the mottled light and shadow, admiring the spring forest.

Soon, she came to the end of the carriage line and saw a group of guards in green clothes.They spread out a row of straw mats, blocking the view of passers-by around them.Pedestrians bypassed the paved mountain path and walked to the left and right.

Gu Siyuan walked towards the plum forest on the left, and occasionally glanced at the mountain path that was blocked for about 20 meters, and walked slowly to the end.At the end, surrounded by a group of guards in blue.Holding the knives at their waists, they formed a circle, as if they were guarding someone.

Gu Siyuan took a look and walked around them for more than ten meters.There were footsteps hurriedly sounding behind him, and Gu Siyuan heard someone shout: "Mr. Gu Er, Mr. Gu Er..."

Gu Siyuan stopped, turned his head and looked behind him, and looked at the female guard in Tsing Yi who was running towards her with some surprise.She turned around, looked at him, and asked, "But Your Excellency called me? What's the matter?"

The guard in Tsing Yi stopped in front of her, bowed and said, "Mr. Gu Er, my master has an invitation." After she finished speaking, she spread her palms, "It's over there, please."

Say yes, but the attitude of the Tsing Yi guard is very tough.Following her hand, Gu Siyuan saw the place surrounded by a dozen guards, pondered for a moment, then nodded, and walked behind the guards.

As soon as she came, the circle of guards opened an opening and let her go in.As soon as she entered, she saw the young emperor sitting on the futon on the ground.

The little emperor was still the same as before, with a stern face, hugging her beloved little buckskin "Ju".But she was a little embarrassed today, the jade crown fell apart, and a few strands of forehead hair fell on her face, gently scratching her bruised left forehead.There was still a wound on the corner of her mouth, as if it was cracked somewhere, with purple blood stains.

Seeing this, Gu Siyuan's heart skipped a beat, he even forgot to salute.

She stood in front of Zhong Liran, carefully scrutinized her face, her eyes showed concern, "Your Majesty..."

Zhong Liran held the ball, glanced at her, patted the futon beside him, and did not speak.Gu Siyuan understood what she meant, and immediately sat beside her, turning his head to look at the wound on her face, "This is... what's going on?"

Gu Siyuan reached out to caress her face.Zhong Liran looked at her concerned eyes, his starry eyes were bright, and it took him a while to say vaguely: "The crazy horse hit my car."

Someone drove a crazy horse and almost hit Zhong Liran's car from the side.Fortunately, the guards reacted quickly enough to stop the horse in time, so they just overturned the car, otherwise Zhong Liran's forehead would not have been so simple.

Hearing what she said, Gu Siyuan felt a little distressed, touched her face with trembling hands, and asked softly, "Does it hurt? Where else is it hurt?"

Zhong Liran didn't hate her touch, since she was three years old, Gu Siyuan gave her medicine most of the time when she stumbled.Zhong Liran stretched out his hand and pointed to his knee.

Gu Siyuan wanted to show her the injury, but this place was not suitable, so he had to endure it.She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the corner of Zhong Liran's mouth, and asked, "Then what about here, where is the injury?"

Zhong Liran said: "The tooth fell out."

Gu Siyuan reached out his hand and signaled her to open her mouth, "Let me see."

"Ah." Zhong Liran opened his mouth, revealing a row of delicate white teeth.Gu Siyuan took a glance and saw two vacant positions on the single canine of her left lower jaw.

She frowned slightly, slightly worried.

After she let go, Zhong Liran said, "It was supposed to be replaced, but it was not broken."

Xu Shi lost her teeth, and Zhong Liran was a little slurred in the pain, but Gu Siran could still hear a bit of the coldness in her voice after the softness had faded.She thought that when Zhong Liran left, her front teeth hadn't grown yet, and now it's time to change her fangs, and she felt a little sad for a while.

She stretched out her hand, half-covered Zhong Liran's face, and asked, "Did Your Majesty take a medical officer with you?"

"Ah."

"There are practitioners of medicine in Taiyi Temple, Your Majesty can drive to Taiyi Temple first, and let them treat the wounds before returning to the palace."

"Ah."

Zhong Liran rarely spoke, but Gu Siyuan understood what she meant.She looked at Zhong Liran holding the little ball in her arms, her heart softened, and she said, "Does it hurt? How about, let's go to Taiyiguan now."

Zhong Liran responded to her: "My carriage is broken, and it needs to be repaired, and it will be ready in a while."

Gu Siyuan nodded, looked at her and asked, "Can I rub the painful place?"

Zhong Liran shook his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Hearing her question, Gu Siyuan replied: "I made an appointment today and met at Plum Blossom Village. I originally came by car, but got stuck all the way, so I went into the mountain."

Zhong Liran nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Seeing her like this, Gu Siyuan asked cautiously: "Your Majesty is going out, but you want to go to Taiyi Temple to offer incense to the princess?"

If Gu Siyuan remembers correctly, today should be the death anniversary of Zhong Liran's biological mother, Princess Zhongzhou.When Princess Zhongzhou passed away, Zhong Liran was only a little over two years old.When Zhong Liran lost her second front tooth when she was seven years old, her father Zhongzhou Wang also died of illness.

From then on, Zhong Liran was taken into the palace by the first emperor to be raised.For the next four years, Gu Siyuan never saw her again.Gu Siyuan thought that with this farewell, their childhood friendship had come to an end.Unexpectedly, Zhong Liran ascended the throne as emperor, and Gu Siyuan became her subject.

That day, a quick visit to Shengyuan Palace made Gu Siyuan very happy.Zhong Liran didn't seem to recognize her, and left immediately, which made Gu Siyuan feel sad for a while.But looking at it today, Zhong Liran didn't forget her, but was awkward again.

Zhong Liran has been a very awkward person since he was a child, and Gu Siyuan knows it very well.Now that she is willing to talk to Gu Siyuan, the awkwardness is gone.

Zhong Liran nodded and didn't respond to her much.After a while, Zhong Liran said: "If it's not for business, let's go to Taiyi Temple with me."

She was in great pain, and she had to put on an imperial airs so as not to show her aggrieved appearance.Gu Siyuan saw it in his eyes, and immediately left the person who made an appointment today behind him, and said hello.

Zhong Liran was thoughtful, and said to her: "I'll meet that man in Plum Blossom Village later, say hello casually, and come with me."

Gu Siyuan nodded. At that time, the guard came to report that the car had been repaired.Zhong Liran stretched out his hand, took Gu Siyuan's hand, and said calmly, "I'm in the same car."

She stood up and pulled Gu Siyuan forward.Gu Siyuan followed behind her, looking at the young boy who was now on her shoulder, overlapping her thin figure with the staggering toddler in his memory.

The author has something to say: I hope that the subjugated monarch next door will come to see her ancestors explain what Zhongli's family is.

Hey, I hope everyone will not be too particular, it's really boring.

This is not a very orthodox ancient strategy essay. The entire world view is built on the belief in the Eastern Emperor, as if there are real gods.It does not exist in any era, any dynasty, it is a free and romantic country that I want to write about.

But you can’t say that I shouldn’t write just because I don’t have one.

I want to write about such an all-inclusive Donghuang and Chu Kingdom.

Thank you for your support, everyone.
