Thousands of miles with the wind

The guard carried Zhong Liming on his back, and followed Gu Siyuan towards the palace.Seeing that what he was doing had been taken over by someone else, Gerqin followed him back to the palace.

A group of people went up the steps, came to the emperor and saluted.Zhong Liming glanced at his majestic elder sister, leaned on the guard's shoulder and said timidly, "I've seen Huang Jie."

Zhong Liran glanced at her, his eyes softened, and he said softly, "Follow your sister-in-law back to get treatment first." As for why Zhong Liming left the guards and ran out secretly, it was inconvenient for her to ask further questions.These children who grew up in the Hongwen Museum are more or less afraid of Zhong Liran.It is most appropriate to leave things like asking the reason to the queen.

After saying this, Zhong Liran shifted his gaze to Gerqin, "Thank you, princess. The princess is also here to admire the plum blossoms today."

Gerqin nodded, glanced at the plum blossom on the emperor's temple, and said with a smile, "The plum blossom is delicate and beautiful, of course I want to see it. But your majesty and the queen are really very elegant and very affectionate."

Zhong Liran was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said helplessly, "You are joking with me."

Gerqin shook his head, and said very carelessly, "That's not the case, I just think that the branch of plum at the temple of Your Majesty is so beautiful, and I want to pick one too."

"There are so many flowers in this forest, the princess can do whatever she wants." Zhong Liran stretched out his hand, leading Gu Si to the palace, and said lightly, "It's freezing cold, and the queen and I will go back to the palace first. Princess, Goodbye."

"Then send it off to Your Majesty respectfully." Gerqin saw the two holding hands and leading a group of people walking farther and farther along the Merlin path.Suddenly, Zhong Liming, who was lying on the bodyguard, turned around and met her eyes.

The little girl bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of gratitude.Gerqin, who has lived in a foreign country for many years, has never seen such pure gratitude for a long time.She was startled, waved her hand at the little girl, and chuckled lightly.

What a good boy, she thought.

Hand in hand, the emperor and empress returned to the Qiulan Hall in the palace together.Zhong Liming broke her leg, so Gu Siyuan summoned the accompanying imperial doctor to treat her.It wasn't until the imperial doctor treated the wound for the little princess that Gu Siyuan ordered the left and right to send the little princess back to the residence she arranged in the palace.She took out the little princess's personal servants and beat them a little bit, telling them to take good care of them.After finishing all this work, Gu Siyuan returned to the bedroom in the inner hall, took off his heavy cloak and shoes and socks, and leaned on the bed to read.

As soon as Zhong Liran came back, he went into the study to deal with official business.She came to spend the winter in the palace, and the courtiers who stayed in the palace naturally sent important matters to the palace.Although there are not many official duties, Zhong Liran still needs to set aside some time to deal with them.

She had been busy for more than an hour, and when she came out of the study, she saw Gu Siyuan taking off her clothes, curled up in the bed and sleeping soundly.Zhong Liran sighed, walked to the bedside and read for a while, his eyes fell on the volume of books lying beside the pillow.

Zhong Liran looked at the bulging quilt beside him, bent over to pick up the book, and leaned against the bedside to read it.It was a miscellaneous diary, which recorded the folk customs of the southern border of Yunzhou, and was compiled by Mr. Wang Chuan.Zhong Liran flipped through several pages, and the woman sleeping next to her probably heard a slight sound and woke up vaguely from her dream.

"Your Majesty" Gu Siyuan was dimly conscious, turned around and looked up at the emperor sitting on the bedside, saw her holding a book, and said softly and obediently, "I have finished my business."

Seeing that she was awake, Zhong Liran put the book aside, and put his hand into the warm blanket.The emperor's hand was very cold, and when it was pressed against Gu Siyuan's face, she shivered involuntarily, and her consciousness regained consciousness instantly.She moved to the emperor's leg, wrapped the quilt on Zhong Liran's lap, stretched out her arms to hug the emperor's cold hand, and tried her best to warm her.

Zhong Liran rubbed her face, lowered his eyes and asked her, "Do you want to continue sleeping?"

Gu Siyuan shook his head, Zhong Liran leaned over, and pecked her cheek very affectionately, "Then get up, I will take you to the hot spring."

Yuanzhou City is rich in hot springs, and the Xingchen Palace in the palace is a hot spring pool exclusively for the emperor.Soaking in hot springs is nothing unusual for the emperor and empress.This time I came back to the palace, mostly to appease the courtiers.

The construction of the palace is very compact, and the hot spring pool is located not far from the main hall of the palace.Tangchi is running water, and nine areas have been opened up. Except for the Tangquan dedicated to the emperor, the other eight are divided into men and women, and they are allocated according to the size of the official position.

The emperor came back to the palace with a group of princes and nobles, as well as a dozen officials, large and small.She had selfish intentions and wanted to accompany Gu Siyuan, so she handed over the matter of arranging officials to King Yunzhong.Before it was night, King Yunzhong took a group of people to soak in the hot springs. Coming from the main hall, he could hear the high-spirited talk from several hot springs over there from a distance.

After hearing this, Gu Siyuan ordered the left and right to prepare tea, wine and snacks and send them to the adults, and then followed Zhong Liran into the soup spring dedicated to the emperor.

This is winter, the hot spring is steaming, and the room is hazy.Zhong Liran led Gu Siyuan to the cubicle, took off her clothes, and then stepped into the warm spring water along the steps with her.

The spring water was warm, Gu Siyuan stepped into it and immersed his whole body in the water.The hot spring water seemed to soften her lazy bones.She closed her eyes comfortably and leaned against the pool wall, drowsy.

In the hazy water vapor, her little face was even more beautiful and moving with the water on it.The waiters had already prepared tea, wine and snacks by the bank of the pool, Zhong Liran entered the pool, poured a glass of wine, put it to his lips and took a sip.

The wine was too cold, so she poured the wine into a small cup of warm wine and soaked it in spring water.After doing this, the emperor put a piece of Poria cocos cake into his mouth, ate it carefully for a while, then turned his head to the lazy Gu Siyuan and said, "This cake is quite delicious, come and try it."

Gu Siyuan turned his head to look at her, and saw that the emperor had picked up a piece of Poria cocos cake, so he moved to her side.With the sound of splashing water, Gu Siyuan leaned on the emperor's shoulder and opened his lips slightly.

When the emperor saw it, he fed her a mouthful of Poria cocos cake.Gu Siyuan ate it, and squeezed into the emperor's arms with half-closed eyes.With a heavy shoulder, Zhong Liran looked down at Gu Siyuan's coiled hair, and said softly, "I'm sleepy again."

Gu Siyuan shook his head, leaned against the emperor's arms and yawned lazily.After a while, she looked up at Zhong Liran's delicate face, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty seems to have grown up."

Zhong Liran didn't react for a while, and didn't understand what she meant until he saw her narrow smile.She put down her chopsticks, took Gu Siyuan into her arms, held a handful from behind, and said with a sneer, "Well, the queen has remained the same for many years, and has never changed."

His body itched slightly, Gu Siyuan rubbed the soft chest of the person behind him, and begged for mercy in a low voice, "Your Majesty, stop making trouble, it will be cold."

Zhong Liran didn't really want to torment her, he let go of her hand with a cold snort after hearing her soft voice of refusal.She lowered her head and bit Gu Siyuan's shoulder, leaving a red mark, like a red plum blossoming in the snow.

Gu Siyuan suffered from pain, hissed lightly, and looked up at the emperor helplessly.The emperor bowed his head and kissed her on the cheek before asking her softly, "Want to drink after warming up the wine?"

Gu Siyuan nodded, and Zhong Liran poured her a glass of wine.Gu Siyuan held it in his hand and took a sip, and asked for more after drinking.

This wine is plum wine made by Tai Yiguan a few years ago. It is sweet and mellow, and it is very delicious with pastries.Zhong Liran is not good at wine, so he took a few sips and didn't drink much.Gu Siyuan liked it very much and drank a lot without knowing it.

The warm water vapor made the wine evaporate faster, and Gu Siyuan got on his head if he didn't pay attention.By the time Zhong Liran realized that she was slightly drunk, it was already too late.

Feeling drunk, Gu Siyuan held the wine glass and recited poems to himself, "Drunk with wine, and full with virtue. A gentleman will last forever, Jieer Jingfu"

What she recited was a chapter in the Book of Songs, Da Ya Ji Drunk, which was originally a congratulatory speech sung to the emperor by Si Ming offering sacrifices to the Eastern Queen.Although Zhong Liran doesn't often read and write poems, he also knows the origin of this poem.

She couldn't laugh or cry, she stretched out her hand to snatch Gu Siyuan's wine glass, "Okay, Sisi, don't drink it, do you think you are the commander of Tiansi Supervisor?"

Seeing that Gu Siyuan was drunk, the emperor took her cup, lifted her from the hot spring pool, and walked up the steps step by step.Gu Siyuan nestled in her arms, muttering something like "a jug of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date".

Zhong Liran staggered towards the cubicle with her in his arms, and helped her onto the couch.After the emperor wiped off the water stains on his body and wrapped it in his middle clothes, he hurriedly dressed Gu Siyuan.The partial student Gu Siyuan drank too much and started making trouble, struggling to explain himself.

The naked woman was wrapped in a thin quilt, curled up in a corner of the bed, looked pitifully at the emperor in middle clothes, and said with mist in her eyes, "You bully me if you don't wear or wear wheat."

Zhong Liran thought that Mai Mai hasn't bullied you yet, who are you waiting to bully like this? The emperor raised his forehead, thinking that Gu Siyuan shouldn't be allowed to drink so much.She took Gu Siyuan's middle coat and wanted to wrap it up and carry her back to the dormitory. Seeing this, she had to coax in a low voice, "I won't bully you, Sisi, please put on your clothes first, or you will catch a cold."

Gu Siyuan's eyes were blurred, he tilted his head to look at her, and asked confusedly, "Who are you?"

This question is really annoying.Zhong Liran took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "It's Mai Mai"

Gu Siyuan suddenly realized, "It's Mai Mai." She said so, put down the quilt in her arms, knelt on the bed and moved towards Zhong Liran step by step.She raised her hand, beckoned to Zhong Liran, and softly said "Mai Mai come here"

It was so mysterious that Zhong Liran choked, seeing her kneeling and sitting on the bed without a trace, he quickly covered her body with his coat.

A middle coat fell on her body, but Gu Siyuan raised his hand and pulled the emperor in front of her into her embrace.Zhong Liran was hugged by her head and buried in her soft chest.

His face was warm, and his hot breath sprayed on his hair. Zhong Liran was stunned for a moment, but he heard the drunk man say softly on top of her, "Mai Mai, you are good!"

The woman held the emperor in her arms, patted her back tenderly, and put a kiss on her hair, like a mother who loves her child, calling her name over and over again.

For some reason, tears suddenly trickled down from Zhong Liran's eyes.
