Everyone loves Huo Qubing

A cool breeze was blowing, mixed with fine rain.The charcoal fire is crackling, and the bamboo smoker in the house emits a familiar fragrance.

This was the first time I slept in my own room since I moved to the West Wing.The door of the compartment opened and closed, the food on the table was brought and taken away, and he fell asleep for a day and a night with a hungry stomach, but the master of the Hou Mansion never showed up.

In a daze, I dreamed one after another. In the dream, the man was always wearing a bright blue armor, holding the rein and pressing the sword on the back of a bay red horse, looking back at me.

"General Wei!"

I happily called my uncle, hoping that he would agree; I had accumulated a lot of words, and I couldn't wait to confide in him.I wanted to tell him that he was the man I was so proud of in class; I wanted to blame him for refusing to send me to the front when he was called up; I wanted him to know that I would miss him terribly when he was gone ;I want to tell him that he must return home safely.

I kept chasing and running after him until I was sweating profusely and panting.However, no matter how I chased after him, the blue figure who was close at hand always seemed to be far away.

The knock on the door came again, making sure I was awake, and the servant brought me hot water.Climbing into the barrel, the dense steam filled my eyes.

Outside the window lattice with a gap, the night was low, and the sound of footsteps and women's whispers could be faintly heard.

"...The baby that was punched out that day was a fully formed baby boy, with fingers and toes all grown. I heard from the imperial doctor that Madam's miscarriage hurt the root cause, and she might not be able to have children in the future."

"Then tell me, do we have a chance to marry the Junhou as concubines?"

"It's a good idea, the nephew surnamed Huo won't leave, do you think you have the ability to climb up to the king's couch?"

"Speaking of it, he really hates him. Instead of going to live in his father's mansion, he has been living in the Marquis' mansion. Men can't give birth to children, so how can they fascinate Junhou so much."

Closing my eyes, I buried myself in the tub.In this way, you can no longer hear the noise from the outside world, except for the sound of waves in your ears.

"Whoa!"

A pair of strong hands grabbed my armpits and pulled me up from the bottom of the water.

"What are you doing!" Second Uncle's sullen voice sounded above his head, "If I hadn't happened to come to see you, would you really want to drown yourself?"

From the threshold came the maid's cry.

"Your Majesty, the servants are wrong, and they will not dare again in the future."

"Don't kneel here, go back to the inner courtyard." The second uncle waved at them.

I sat on the couch, twisted my calves, and let the other party wipe my wet hair carefully.

"I'm sorry to trouble uncle." When I said this, I looked down at my toes.

The man lifted my jaw, and a pair of star eyes were close at hand.

"No, it's my responsibility for the lax discipline of the servants in the mansion, to make you feel wronged." He whispered in my ear in a deep voice.

Being tightly buckled into those strong arms, bearing the deep kiss of the other party like a storm.

"Uncle." I panted quickly and held his hand.

Stomach made a "cuckling" sound inappropriately.The other party giggled for a while, then reluctantly let me go, and ordered the servant to bring a steaming dinner.

"Let's eat first, I haven't eaten for so long, my body can't bear it."

I blink.Second uncle knows I haven't eaten?I thought he had been accompanying Er Jinniang in the inner courtyard.

"Uncle, have you come to my room today?"

"Yes, but seeing you sleeping so soundly, I don't have the heart to disturb you."

In the copper lamp on the table, the flames danced and flickered.The second uncle propped up his cheeks, and the corners of his lips curved into a nice arc, looking at me wolfing down the opposite.

"Uncle is always in a good mood when we are together with Qubing. Seeing that you have a good appetite, I seem to be a little hungry too." After staring at me for a while, he announced, "The next two days I will always be with you all the time, and you can play wherever you want."

I swallowed the words "I want to go to Gaoque with you" obediently.

"Jin Niang is in poor health, you can spend more time with her, and leave me alone."

Hearing this sentence, the man put away his smile.

"The result of the imperial doctor's reexamination is not bad, far from being as serious as the maid described. Besides, your mother-in-law is not very willing to see me." He put the empty dishes to the door, looked up at the moonlight outside, He pursed his lips.

***

In March, there is a lot of drizzle, and it is rare to see a clear sky.People from other battalions drove to the front line one after another. In the huge Shanglin Garden, only the banner of Jianzhang Camp was still waving in the wind.

"Huo Qubing, please demonstrate to everyone that two arrows are on the same string." Instructor Xu ordered me to come out.

"No." I twisted out two feathered arrows from the quiver, buckled them on the pick, and carefully aimed at the straw target in front of me.

The orange afterglow of the sun reflected on the silver arrows.The three fingers of the left hand loosened slightly, and the feather arrow quickly sank into the two straw figures.

"Okay!" There was applause from around.

"Instructor, I want to try another arrow." I begged.

"can."

The moment it left the bow, the air around the yew bow trembled slightly.The straw man in front of him had faintly turned into many Hun soldiers.

The third arrow barely brushed the outline of a grass target and buried in the withered grass.The comrades-in-arms were full of regret.

"It's already pretty good. Does any of you want to compete with him?" Instructor Xu looked around, "If not, today's training ends here and we disband on the spot."

I took off the glove between my fingers, squeezed my slightly stiff left hand, put away the bow and arrow and hung it by Xueqi's side.Looking back, those archery targets were still just a group of lifeless straw figures, standing quietly in the spring breeze under the setting sun.

On the real battlefield of gunpowder in the northern border, the Han army should have left Yunzhong smoothly and marched into Gaoque under the leadership of my beloved commander-in-chief uncle, right?I don't know if his strategy of surprise attacking the Youxian King of the Huns was implemented smoothly?

When I left the shooting range, a lonely figure inadvertently passed out of the corner of my eye—General Xin Zhao was sitting on the stand looking at me with his longbow on his back, thinking.

***

At night in the Qilin Temple, the lights were dimmed, and the charcoal fire in the cauldron was sizzling.On the quiet sky, the Suzaku star located in the south is shining with the moonlight.

His heart was full of that vigorous blue figure on the stage of worshiping the general, unknowingly pouring down a lot of fine wine from the palace.I am used to being called into the palace when my second uncle was in battle, and the person who summoned me into the palace with a single word of mouth is also sitting next to me and drinking heavily.

"This time, Zhongqing took 10 people away, and suddenly I felt that all my acquaintances around me disappeared." The drunken emperor shook his head and sighed.

"Your Majesty still has concubines?" Auntie pulled the cousin who was full and playing and brought him to his father. "There are still Ju'er and the princesses to accompany you."

"I'm talking about Uncle Zi and Lao Ao." The emperor waved his hand at his aunt, "It's not just them two, I went to Tianliang Hall to have a look, except for that Zhao Xin, all other officials followed Zhongqing to the north. No Without those generals and lieutenants, it seems that there is a lot less excitement in my place all of a sudden."

"Your Majesty, why don't you go to Jiaofang Hall to spend the night tonight? The concubine has learned some new songs from Li Siye recently, and I can sing them to relieve your majesty." Auntie suggested.

"No, the queen will take Shier back to rest first, I happen to be alone alone."

"Father, will brother go back to the Jiaofang Palace with us?" Princess Wei asked tentatively as she passed by me.

"I only drank so much, why is Qu Bing leaving now?" The emperor who raised this question did not give me a chance to speak, and quickly added, "Your brother wants to drink more."

I rolled my eyes at the person who asked and answered by himself, and then I fell on the table and lost consciousness.

The body floats lightly in the air, like a light boat.Someone carried me into the carriage, and my wrist hit the wooden seat, but I didn't feel any pain.

The bumpy feeling disappeared, and I felt myself being lifted up and placed on a familiar couch, the clogs on my feet were taken off, and a pair of big hands gently untied my belt.

"Qubing, everyone has left, but luckily I still have you."

Thin lips with a strong smell of sweet-scented osmanthus wine pried open my lips and teeth, and began to attack the city.

"After so many years, I still haven't practiced my drinking capacity, but it's fine if I can't drink."

What a mess, it looks like this guy is even more drunk than me.I raised my limp wrist and tried my best to push away the hands that were constantly raging on my chest.

After a slight pause, restless fingers pulled away from his chest.

"I know that my nephew is still thinking about your uncle. Now that Zhongqing has gone to the front line, you and I are left, and we just happen to depend on each other."

The familiar and unfamiliar palm temperature covered the skin around my waist, walking all the way downstream.The next moment, a deep and hoarse voice sounded from beside his ears.

"Qubing, follow me, okay?"

I opened my eyes suddenly.

Hearing a soft "pa", the Ninth Five Lord covered his forehead, moved backwards very slowly, and sat down on the couch.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do it on purpose." I shook my head, trying to shake off my drunkenness, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I deserve to die."

Incoherently bursting out all the words that flashed through my mind, I struggled to crawl to the bed.The ankle was suddenly grabbed by someone, and in the haze, I saw a shadow that was constantly enlarging in front of my eyes.

"Qubing, I don't understand. I have been nurturing you, loving you, and waiting for you to understand love and human affairs. I have been waiting for you for five full years. Since you can accept Xiang'er and Zhongqing, why are you so slow to open up?" Do you accept me with your heart?"

That's right.The other party is obviously someone who has always taken care of me meticulously like my uncle, so why did he keep rejecting his courtship again and again?

Although he admitted in his heart that the other party was right, his limbs continued to crawl involuntarily.After a long time, I looked around blankly—how big is this bed? Why did I climb for so long and still not reach the side of the bed?

A faint sigh sounded from behind, and the big hand that grabbed my hip bone was finally released.

"Chuntuo, help Qubing back to his room."

"Your Majesty's forehead!"

"Not in the way." The emperor waved his hand to urge the eunuch, "Also, summon the son to enter the palace."

I was wrapped in the blanket, and the golden dragon on the beam was jumping around in front of my eyes.In the courtyard of the greenhouse hall, the sound of hurried footsteps all the way to the emperor's bedroom.

It would be self-deceiving to insist that I did not expect a man to take the opportunity to show his love to me in advance, but no matter how I tried to comfort and relax myself, even my body, which was so drunk that I was almost unconscious, had instinctively made a choice for me.

However, I may, it seems, should have committed the crime of regicide just now...

***

"It's over!"

Eyes wide open, in the throes of a hangover headache, I finally realized that I had done something earth-shattering last night.It's all because of the little prince's servants, if he didn't always sneak up on me, I wouldn't have greeted him in the face when I touched something.I vaguely remember the blood red between the man's fingers——

I won't smash the emperor's appearance!

He put on his coat and ran to the emperor's bedroom, but unfortunately knocked down a person who had just come out of the bedroom and was in a hurry.

"Do not touch me!"

"Don't help me, I can walk by myself!"

Mr. Taishi Ling's family looked ashen, frowned and shook off my hand, just took a few steps forward, and kneeled down in front of me again.

"I can't bear such a great gift from Mr. Sima." I readily picked up the exhausted man and carried him back to the couch in my wing.Since Your Majesty has already gone to the front hall to make an early court, it is not too short of time to apologize and apologize to my mother and the father, wife and children who do not know where they are still.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, the nerd struggled to get up.I slapped him back.

"Lie down obediently, or I will ask Chen Yan to appreciate your sickly appearance."

Hearing that I threatened him with my sister, Mr. Sima couldn't help shaking.He hesitated for a moment, then wrapped himself completely in the brocade quilt, poked out two phoenix eyes outside the quilt, and stared at me fiercely, like a wounded little animal.

I didn't notice until now that the hair on the other's forehead was disheveled, there were two crimson clouds on his cheekbones, his body trembled slightly, his breath was weak, and there were obvious bruises on the exposed wrist where the sleeves slipped, which didn't look like he was drunk Hangover, it's more like—

"Hey, you won't be... lucky by His Majesty, will you?"

Hearing this, Sima Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then two lines of tears overflowed from the sockets of the phoenix eyes, fell down patter, and soon wetted a corner of the brocade quilt.

Looking at the situation, the answer is yes, after the emperor was rejected by me last night, maybe he poured all his anger on the poor nerd.Oh, it's hard for him.

Young Master Sima raised his head, moved the corners of his mouth, his voice was like a mosquito.

"Please, don't tell sister Chen."

Patting the sobbing man on the shoulder, looking at those phoenix eyes full of water vapor, I sighed silently in my heart, it turns out that nerds also have times of beauty.

"I won't go out and talk nonsense, that's a matter between you." However, the promise is the promise, and I decided to ring the alarm for him, "There are too many people in the palace, and the paper can't contain the fire, Chen Yan will find out sooner or later. If you like her, you'd better admit it generously, she won't care about such things."

When I returned to the greenhouse hall from Shanglin Garden facing the flying clouds in the sky, Mr. Sima had already got up and left.The joking mood cooled down with the neatly folded bed by the servant.

Whether voluntarily or passively, I am very grateful to the nerd for blocking the knife for me last night.However, when the emperor's love strikes again, who can help me stop it?
