Thousands of miles with the wind

twelve

After the first snow fell in Yuanzhou City, the weather became colder.For several days, Gu Siyuan never stepped out of the inner hall.Seeing this, Zhong Liran felt that she could not indulge her anymore, so after the heavy snowfall, she issued a decree and took a group of people to Taiyi to watch the plum blossoms.

In the middle of winter, heavy snow has flooded the large and small courtyards of Taiyiguan, and everything is white when you look up.In the vast white snow, only red plum blossoms, so bright that it seems to have taken away the only color in the world.

Under the cloud-like plum blossom trees, there are a few sporadic people shuttled among them, stepping on the residual snow to blow off the snow foam on the branches, and looking up at this bright plum blossom forest.Zhong Liran took a few servants and dragged Gu Siyuan to walk under the plum tree, and said with a straight face, "You should walk more, and you don't even think about going back until evening."

Boss Gu Siyuan was unwilling, so he followed her to avoid the blooming plum branches, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you are here, let's go back to the hot spring first, okay? I will accompany you to enjoy the plum blossoms tomorrow and tomorrow."

Taiyi Temple is built on the left peak of Lishan Mountain in the east of the city, and the right peak of Lishan Mountain is the Lishan Palace where pedestrians stop.Lishan is rich in hot springs, and the Meihua Village at the foot of the mountain is the largest hot spring village in Yuanzhou City.Therefore, Lishan Palace also has hot springs, and under the reconstruction of craftsmen, the interior will be as warm as spring in the middle of winter.

In previous years, when the weather was too cold, the Empress Dowager would come to Lishan Palace to spend the winter.However, as far as the emperor is concerned, this is the first time he has returned here.So some ministers were brought over, and Tangchi was given to them as a show of grace.

This year, there were many turmoil in the court of Chu State. The emperor's move was to appease people's hearts, and to make the lazy Gu Siyuan active.

When she heard Gu Siyuan say this, she shook her head firmly, "No." If Gu Siyuan went back to soak in the hot spring, he probably wouldn't want to come out again today.

Gu Siyuan couldn't make a thought, and quickly said, "Look, it's been a long time since grandma came to the palace, and we didn't have a good talk with her just now, why don't we go back to accompany grandma."

Zhong Liran said unhappily, "Grandmother, Da Siming and others are playing mahjong, and we just joined a table, and you are not missing." She said, turning her head to look at Gu Siyuan, and said seriously, "You have to accompany me whatever you say today. Finish this piece of Merlin."

Gu Siyuan was very helpless, "Your Majesty, this plum forest is very big." Starting from the small attic in Zhonglidai on the mountainside, to the halls of Taiyi Temple, there are plum blossoms blooming everywhere.If you finish walking, you can walk for most of the day.Gu Siyuan was exhausted just thinking about it.

Zhong Liran deserved to be careless, "This is really great, I can walk around for a long time."

Let her do all kinds of tricks, Zhong Liran just refused to let her go, Gu Siyuan, who came and went again and again, resigned to his fate, followed Zhong Liran, and honestly looked at Meihua.

The colder the weather, the brighter the plum blossoms.A little snow fell on the branches, making the pink plum branches full of vitality.Wrapped in a cloak, Gu Siyuan breathed out a breath of cold air, looked at the plum blossoms all over the mountain and said with emotion, "The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

Zhong Liran listened and sneered, "I know a lot of truths, and I can't do it on my own. The imperial doctor said that you have been weak recently, and you should walk more. Why don't you listen?"

There was a smile on Gu Siyuan's face, and he shook Zhong Liran's hand gently, "Your Majesty, you must know that most people are lazy."

Zhong Liran glanced at her, and then said with a stern face, "Don't try to be lazy today, let me go well." Gu Siyuan smiled and responded with a series of greetings.

So the two led each other and walked for a while in the blooming plum blossom forest.Zhong Liran is a little taller and walking in front, it is inevitable that he will encounter the melting snow on the branches, and occasionally some flower petals.After walking all the way, a few plum blossoms were stained on the emperor's body, Gu Siyuan reached out to hold her when he saw it, and motioned her to lower her head, and cleaned off the residual snow and flowers on her body.

Gu Siyuan patted her lightly a few times, looked up and saw a plum blooming on Zhong Liran's temple.Her eyes lit up, and she tiptoed to pick off a plum.

"Your Majesty, please bend down." Holding a plum in her hands, she waved to Zhong Liran in front of her.The emperor bent down obediently, and a plum branch was inserted obliquely into her black hair.The plum blossoms are pink and white, which makes the emperor's black hair even more black.In this world of ice and snow, the emperor's clear and beautiful face seemed to occupy all the colors of the world.

Gu Siyuan looked up at her, unable to move his eyes away for a while.The emperor curled his lips and asked her in a low voice, "Do I look good?"

"It's pretty." Gu Siyuan nodded without thinking.Zhong Liran raised his hand to hold her cheek, leaned over and sprinkled warm breath on Gu Siyuan's lips, "Why are you talking so sweetly today? Let me try if you secretly ate candy."

This taste lasted for a while, until Gu Siyuan touched the other party's breath and his whole body warmed up, Zhong Liran let her go.

Gu Siyuan was held in her arms, panting softly.Zhong Liran put out his thumb and pressed it on her water-colored lips, his eyes were dark, and he clicked his tongue softly, "Queen, you are really getting worse."

Gu Siyuan grabbed the clothes on her chest, looked up at her, and said pitifully with tears in the corner of his eyes, "It's His Majesty who is so fierce every time, it just kills me."

This glance made Zhong Liran elated.She raised her eyebrows, stroked Gu Siyuan's cheek and said frivolously, "Even if this is fierce, you underestimate me too much." She said, pulling Gu Siyuan into her arms, and said in her ear, "Wait back, you Only then will I know when I am fierce. I just want your life."

It's really not right.Thinking of this, Gu Siyuan's eyes lit up, "Then let's go back."

Zhong Liran knew what she was thinking as soon as he heard it, and immediately let go of his embrace, stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and said with a smile, "That's a good idea, let's go, there's still more than half of the woods to go."

Gu Siyuan's small face collapsed immediately, and she followed behind Zhong Liran, muttering, "This is really too difficult to serve."

Zhong Liran thought it was funny, and dragged her forward, with a helpless tone, "Gu Siyuan, you are getting more and more worthless now."

As far as Gu Siyuan is concerned, people live for the rest of their lives, but they want to be free.

That's why she didn't care if she was promising or not, she just wanted to go back and soak in a hot spring comfortably, then take a nap and spend the whole winter.

The two walked for a while, but Gu Siyuan really couldn't move anymore, so he expressed his attitude that he really wanted to go back.Seeing her like this, Zhong Liran could only sigh, and led her back.

When they went back, the two walked the other way, Zhong Liran led her to the direction of the palace, scolding her while walking, "In the early years, you would walk around the Chen palace to keep fit. In recent years If you come, you will become more and more lazy, and you will not even take a step outside."

Gu Siyuan retorted, "I am not like Your Majesty. I have to work on state affairs day and night. I just sit in the room and read books. I don't need to keep fit."

"Doesn't it take energy to study?" Zhong Liran said earnestly, "You are so lazy, what if one day you are weak and get sick, what will you do if you take medicine all day long? Can you bear it?"

Gu Siyuan's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, can't you wait for me to order?"

Zhong Liran replied, "I was just hoping for your well-being, so I took you out of the house."

The two bickered all the way, the servants on the left and right bowed their heads, holding back their laughter and not daring to speak.Walking and talking all the way, the two happened to come to a branching mountain road, and happened to meet Gerqin.

Gerqin was wrapped in a thick cloak, with long blond hair spread over his shoulders like a bright sun, and walked up the mountain path with a person on his back.Several maids followed behind, out of breath.

Zhong Liran saw him from a distance, stopped together with Gu Siyuan, and looked at Gerqin at the bottom of the mountain steps.She glanced at Gerqin, and her eyes fell on the man on her back.

It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, wearing a primrose-colored cloak, lying on Gerqin's shoulder.Her forehead was bruised and purple, and her hair was a little messy, and at a glance, she knew it was bumped.

Zhong Liran recognized the girl's face at a glance, she was the eldest daughter of King Lizhou and his cousin Zhong Liming.She frowned and said condescendingly, "This is the princess"

As he said that, Zhong Liran waved his hand, and quickly asked the servants to go down the mountain road to meet Geerqin.Gerqin heard the movement, looked up at the end of the mountain road, and said with a smile, "It's Your Majesty."

Seeing the servants rushing down the steps to meet him, she took the opportunity to put the little Princess off her back, and said with a joke, "Little Princess, your family is here to pick you up, go back and treat your injuries."

The little princess fell to the ground and was supported by Gerqin in his arms.Seeing this, Gu Siyuan hurriedly walked down with the waiter, and said as he walked, "What's the matter, Ming'er fell down?"

Zhong Liming was handsome, with a pretty face, which always attracted people's love.The Zhongli royal family has training, and the heirs of princes from all over the country must be sent to Hongwen Hall to study after they reach the age of nine.Zhong Liming is the eldest daughter of the King of Lizhou. When he came to Yuanzhou a few years ago, Gu Siyuan met her many times, and he has a good relationship with her.

Zhong Liming had a wound on his forehead, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked very embarrassed.Seeing Gu Siyuan coming, she broke away from Gerqin's arms a little bit, gave a little gift, and said tenderly, "I have seen the emperor's wife. It was Ming'er who was playful and ran to admire the plum blossoms, and accidentally fell. Fortunately."

When she said this, she glanced at the blond woman beside her, lowered her eyes and responded, "Fortunately, I met Princess Gerqin, so no one was left in the ice and snow."

Gu Siyuan heard this, and quickly saluted Gerqin, "My sister who is not worried, I have Princess Lao to help."

After Gu Siyuan said this, he pulled the little princess to him, saw her walking in a strange posture, and said softly, "I hurt my leg."

Zhong Liming nodded obediently, saying that his ankle was twisted.Gu Siyuan saw that her clothes were covered with a lot of snow, and he thought it was a heavy fall, so he asked a female guard to carry her on his back, and took her back to the palace for treatment.
