Thousands of miles with the wind

Seven

Spring is short, and after the flowers wither, the hot summer of Chu is ushered in.The scorching sun is baking the land, as if it is about to evaporate everything in this world, releasing its own heat violently.Gerqin was lying on the small table by the window, leaning on his arms and listening to the endless calls of Xia Chan in the garden.

The sound of the cicadas was extremely noisy, Gerqin frowned and changed the other arm to pillow, but still couldn't calm down.Too hot, she thought.The summer in Chu State is much hotter than Subei, even with the cool Bingjian.Gerqin didn't like such heat at all.What's more, at this time, she is still a caged bird imprisoned.

Gerqin sighed and looked at the exquisite garden outside the window, feeling more and more that this is a gorgeous cage.She straightened up, loosened her arms, and said to the maid who was waiting beside her, "Take me to the school grounds."

Gerqin is very self-aware, since she lost in Subei, she has always been very obedient when she was taken into captivity in the source state.She has kept her own law and order for a few months, doing what she should do, and never privately contacting outside messengers, so Chu State also took the face of it and replaced the heavy soldiers who were waiting by her side with these helpless maids.

Hearing this, the maid said respectfully, "I also ask the princess to change into a warrior uniform, and then come with us."

Gerqin immediately rolled his eyes, and happily took off the silk and satin on his body, pulled out the pearl hairpin on his head, and changed into a light-colored samurai uniform.She tied her long golden hair into a ponytail and tied it behind her head, and went out empty-handed with two personal maids.

It was afternoon, and the sun was extremely fierce, and the fierce sun on the school grounds burned a little bit of anger.Ordinary people would faint after a few exposures in the sun, but Geerqin was fine and rode a few laps on the school grounds. Before the little emperor came to the school grounds in the evening, he went back with his face flushed and sweating profusely.

After Gerqin returned to the palace, he took another cold shower, had a happy dinner and fell asleep happily.As a result, this sleep caused a serious illness.

On the second day, Geerqin, who had always been active and lively, lay in bed and couldn't get up at all, with a high fever.The maids took the palace certificate and went to the imperial hospital to invite a medical officer to see her, and then sent someone to ask the emperor of Chen Palace for instructions. Only then did Zhong Liran think of the barbarian princess she placed in the first hall of the palace.

Zhong Liran thought for a while, and felt that it would not be worthwhile for the barbarian princess to die of illness in the palace. Out of various considerations, he temporarily put aside the important tasks at hand, and took Gu Siyuan together to visit the Bright Moon Palace where Gerqin lived.

Gerqin's name means "crescent moon" in the barbarian language, so Zhong Liran named her palace "Bright Moon".The distance between Haoyue Palace and Chen Palace is about half an hour, whether it is near or not, anyway, if Zhong Liran can't remember, they won't see each other for 800 years.Since Gerqin temporarily lived in the palace, Zhong Liran has never seen her, let alone Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan was not curious about this princess at all, but when he heard her name in this way, he still asked, "I'm sick, why are you sick?"

Zhong Liran led her forward, walking leisurely, "I heard from the maid that she rode a horse in the schoolyard for a day yesterday, and then took a bath in cold water after catching heat." Gu Siyuan, who was exceptionally fair in the light, said softly with his eyes, "You may not have gone out for a long time, so follow me to see how she is."

Gu Siyuan smiled, "With the medical officer here, it will not be a big deal for the princess, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zhong Liran pursed his lips, and said to her, "I'm not worried about anything, but she has an emergency, and I still feel it's a pity. By the way, Gu Siyuan, your birthday is coming soon, and I want to give you something"

Gu Siyuan shook his head, and replied, "I don't want anything, and I'm happy with whatever Your Majesty gives you." Zhong Liran raised his eyebrows when he heard this, leaned over to her side and whispered in his ear, "Then I will accompany you for a day."

Gu Siyuan's ears warmed up, and he suddenly remembered Zhong Liran's birthday not long ago, this person just wanted her for a day.The two of them put down their official duties and spent a day in bed in the cool world of early summer, which was simply ridiculous.She sighed and said helplessly, "Your Majesty"

Zhong Liran coughed lightly, and asked coldly with a small face, "Then I will take you out of the palace to enjoy the osmanthus, or let you go home to visit relatives?"

Gu Siyuan thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, "There is no need to reward osmanthus, how about this, Your Majesty, give me two days off to visit relatives two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. My sister recently accepted an abandoned baby, and it will be recorded in my household certificate. "

Zhong Liran remembered that there was such a thing, so he said to her, "Well, I will give you a few days off before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can go home and have a look."

Gu Siyuan nodded, leaned into Zhong Liran's ear and said, "I will remember to bring some Yuelou pastries for His Majesty."

The two talked all the way, and arrived at the Bright Moon Palace leisurely as if taking a walk.After all the maids waiting outside the palace paid their respects, Zhong Liran led Gu Siyuan to the palace and asked the maid, "How is the princess?"

The maid replied, "Your Majesty, the medical officer has gone to sleep after giving the needle and taking the medicine."

Zhong Liran nodded, and pulled Gu Siyuan to the back of the screen, "Let's go and have a look." The two came to the bedside and smelled a trace of medicine.

In addition to the smell of medicine, there is also a hint of floral fragrance that permeates the nose.Gu Siyuan searched for the fragrance, but saw a blond beauty with snow skin lying on the bed covered with a thin quilt, and a maid was waiting by the bed, changing the ice veil on her forehead.Gu Siyuan glanced at her, his eyes fell on the slender eyelashes exposed by her tightly closed eyes, and she stared slightly.

It really was her.Gu Siyuan suddenly remembered the absurd scene he saw a few months ago, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Zhong Liran who was at the side.

Zhong Liran looked at the princess's pale face, frowned and said, "It seems that the disease is not serious, and the lips are peeled. Empress, you can see if there is any medicine that can be used, and take some to the Bright Moon Palace. "

In front of outsiders, Zhong Liran called Gu Siyuan the queen.Gu Siyuan nodded when he heard the words, and said yes.As she spoke, she carefully looked at the beauty lying on the bed with lowered eyes, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this Princess Gerqin is very beautiful." This is a real compliment, even Gu Siyuan, who has seen many noble girls I couldn't help admiring the princess's beautiful face like a bright moon.

Zhong Liran said coldly, "The most beautiful flower in the Golden Tent Royal Court, isn't it beautiful?" When she said this, her heart was slightly suffocated, she turned her head to look at Gu Siyuan and raised her eyebrows and said, "Queen, The princess is good-looking, but I am not good-looking."

Gu Siyuan smiled, tilted his head to look at her carefully, bent his eyes and said, "It's pretty,"

"The face of the princess is like the bright moon, and the brilliance is bright and moving. Your Majesty is like spring water, soft, fresh, moist and pleasant. Both are beautiful, but different."

She spoke seriously, Zhong Liran only felt that her breath was stuck in her heart.She thought to herself, what she clearly wanted to ask was whether the princess or I was more beautiful, but she couldn't open her mouth when the words came to her lips.Zhong Liran took a deep breath, and had no choice but to say, "If that's the case, why don't the queen come here every day to visit the princess for me?"

After all, Geerqin is a foreign guest, even if she is taken captive, she is also a distinguished guest of Chu State. Zhong Liran, who is the host of her family during her illness, needs to show some concern.Thinking of this, Gu Siyuan resigned himself to "good."

This sentence really made Zhong Liran's heart ache, she was upset and didn't know why, so she only rewarded some things and left them in Haoyue Palace, then dragged Gu Siyuan away in a hurry.There was still no change on Zhong Liran's face, and the dull Gu Siyuan didn't know that the emperor was angry.

It wasn't until after nightfall that Zhong Liran changed his temper, and slowly tormented Gu Siyuan not to let her kiss him, making him feel bad, and only then did he slightly calm down the turbulent thoughts.

The two tossed until midnight, when Zhong Liran saw that Gu Siyuan was so soft that he couldn't even hold the bed sheet under him, so he let her go.In the early morning of the next day, the emperor got up early to go to court, but Gu Siyuan still couldn't get up to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

After a night of flirting, Gu Siyuan washed off the tainted breath on his body, and suddenly remembered the princess who was still sick, so he got up and dressed to visit her.

Because he was going to meet foreign guests, it was rare for Gu Siyuan to put on a very gorgeous palace attire, wearing pearl hairpins on his head, and went out in a luxurious suit.She took two maids to the Bright Moon Palace. When they arrived, the maids said that the princess' high fever had subsided and she was eating at the moment.

When Gu Siyuan heard the words, he directly led people into the inner hall.The maid in the palace clattered and bowed in salute, so she saw the blond woman in middle coat sitting at the dining table at a glance.It seemed that she came too suddenly. Gerqin, who was eating, puffed up his cheeks and ate steamed buns, looked up at her and stood there in a daze.

The blond woman with fair complexion puffed her cheeks like a cute chipmunk.For some reason, Gu Siyuan almost couldn't help laughing when he thought of the emperor who usually ate cornbread in his study.She frowned, looked at the princess who was still in a daze, and asked softly, "Is the princess better?"

The gorgeously dressed woman exuded a sense of nobility. Gerqin looked up at her delicate makeup, bit the steamed bun and blinked, and took a long time before swallowing hard and bowed to salute, "It's better, Your Highness the Queen"

Gerqin lowered his eyes and gradually frowned.She seemed to recall that she seemed to have seen this beauty before, it seemed to be the most embarrassing night a few months ago.

Zhong Li returned to that shameless bastard who abused the captives, tied her up and offered her to Emperor Chu's bed.It was that night that she met this man.This woman has a very melodious voice, so she remembers it very clearly.

Thinking so, Gerqin raised his head and glanced at the delicate woman again, hesitantly asked, "Have you had your meal, do you want to join us?"

The barbarian princess seemed not used to the elegant language of Chu State, it sounded extremely awkward, but also revealed a kind of unique cuteness.Gu Siyuan nodded, looked at her face carefully, and replied, "Thank you princess, I have already used it."

Ah, what a shame.For some reason, Gerqin suddenly felt very sorry when he heard this answer.
