Fu Tang

Li Congjia looked at the high mountain as if facing an enemy, Shi Xueting smiled and asked, "I'll carry you up."

Li Congjia rolled his eyes blankly: "I'm afraid you will be exhausted to death."

Shi Xueting said calmly, "Even if I carry you up, I won't be exhausted."

Li Congjia glanced at him, feeling that Shi Xueting seems to be particularly unscrupulous today, at least there are juniors here, so restrain yourself.

Shi Xueting understood what he meant, but didn't show any sign of restraint, instead, she walked over to his ear and asked, "Really don't want it?"

Li Congjia was very calm: "Don't make trouble, save face."

Shi Xueting smiled lightly: "That's fine."

Yang Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm ready."

After he finished speaking, a sedan chair followed behind him. Li Congjia was slightly taken aback, then looked at the mountain with some hesitation: "This..."

Before he could speak, Yang Xin said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's already been prepared."

He knew that Li Congjia felt that such a high mountain would be too much torment for people to lift him up, but since Yang Xin said that he was ready, he didn't talk nonsense, turned his head to look at Shi Xueting and asked: "How do you get up there?"

He can't let Shi Xueting go up in a sedan chair, can he?

Shi Xueting said: "I ride a horse."

The corner of Li Congjia's mouth twitched, and he looked at the mountain road, not to mention that the mountain road at the foot of the mountain was fairly flat, but since Yang Xin felt nothing, let's go.

After Li Congjia got into the sedan chair, he always felt that something was wrong. The mountain looked so high, what could there be on the top of the mountain?Strange stone and old pine?Open a new path for this thing?

Yes, just now Li Congjia has seen that this road should be newly built, it is not very wide, and it can accommodate a carriage at most, but if there is a steep place in front, it may not be suitable for a carriage.

Li Congjia sat in the sedan chair and opened the curtain from time to time to take a look. As the altitude got higher and higher, I don’t know if it was because of the high water vapor, the fog gradually appeared around him, and the clouds and fog became more and more. Later, the surrounding mountains It is no longer visible, and everything that can be seen is thick fog.

When people can't see the way ahead, they will unconsciously feel a little apprehensive, even Li Congjia has experienced strong winds and waves and is still the same.

He turned his head to look at Shi Xueting who was guarding him on horseback, Shi Xueting seemed to feel his uneasiness, turned his head and smiled at him comfortingly and said, "It's okay, you can see the sea of ​​clouds later."

Li Congjia was slightly relieved, so he didn't look down at all, sitting in the sedan chair and thinking about the college's affairs. Because this matter involved all aspects, he hadn't come up with a thorough plan yet, but Li Congjia felt that he should think about some key points first. , after the plan is presented below, if there is something inappropriate, he can correct it on the spot.

After walking like this for an hour, Li Congjia felt a little sleepy, and only then did he hear Yang Xin happily say, "Here we are."

The moment the sedan chair landed, Li Congjia heaved a sigh of relief, and then he saw a white hand with long sleeves reaching out to lift the bead chain in front of the sedan chair. He recognized that hand as Shi Xueting's.

Shi Xueting lifted the bead chain with his left hand and stretched out his right hand in front of Li Congjia. Li Congjia looked up at him in surprise. After seeing the other party smiling, he couldn't help but smile, and he didn't shy away from anything. , stretched out his left hand to catch Shi Xueting's.

Shi Xueting led him out, then took out a red cloak and put it on for him, saying: "It's cold on the mountain."

Li Congjia looked at the cloak on himself and then at the cloak of the same color on Shi Xueting's body, wondering in his heart, his clothes were either black or bright yellow, when did he have such two bright cloaks?

Fortunately, this is a mountain, and there is no one else except Yang Xin and the two bearers, otherwise Li Congjia would be embarrassed to wear it, it is too bright.

After Shi Xueting helped Li Congjia put on the cloak, he held his hand again and clasped his fingers tightly.

Li Congjia was used to it at this time and didn't care. It was just a little unexpected that the place they stopped was not the top of the mountain, but a mountain road some distance from the top of the mountain. The mountain road was covered with petals, and Li Congjia was reluctant to step on it.

Li Congjia was at a loss: "This is..."

Before he could ask, Shi Xueting said, "Come with me."

Li Congjia was reluctant to step on those petals, but Shi Xueting was willing, and directly led Li Congjia forward. Li Congjia looked around while following her, but he didn't find anything, but he smelled a faint scent of flowers. I don't know if it was from his feet. The fragrance of the petals.

Li Congjia just followed Shi Xueting up, but Yang Xin was behind. He found that Yang Xin, who originally gave the gift, was honest and honest, and gave Shi Xueting all the leading power.

Li Congjia couldn't help but wonder, who gave the gift?

And this doubt quickly turned into shock. After reaching the top of the mountain, there are blooming flowers everywhere you can see, white, pink, light red, and deep red, spreading endlessly across the entire mountaintop. It turned out that those flowers were all lilies.

These flowers are certainly eye-catching, but what is really shocking is that there is actually a palace on the top of the mountain!

The palace is not very big, but it is very delicate. The most important thing is that the materials used to make it look a bit strange. The whole is white, but there is a touch of warm yellow, which looks a bit milky white.

The entire palace seems to be made of one material from top to bottom, but other color materials are used for the cornices and eaves beasts. With these colors, the palace becomes beautiful and full of vitality.

There is a very thick tree behind the palace. The canopy of that tree extends out to cover the palace. Li Congjia doesn't know what kind of tree it is. He only sees that the tree has very beautiful pink and purple flowers. However, the petals fell one after another, and the shape was very similar to the petals on the mountain road when I just went up the mountain.

Li Congjia didn't expect that Yang Xin's gift was actually a palace on the top of the mountain, and beyond the top of the mountain, there was a sea of ​​clouds as far as he could see, which seemed like a fairyland.

Shi Xueting waited for Li Congjia to see it almost, and then said again: "Come."

Li Congjia followed Shi Xueting ignorantly. The closer he got to the palace, the more he was puzzled. He felt that this palace... seemed to be made of jade, and the appearance looked too similar.

As the distance gets closer, Li Congjia becomes more certain, what is the image, this is it!

Moreover, there are various patterns engraved on the jade biscuit, which are not obvious from a distance, but when you get closer, you can find those exquisite patterns, and it is only when you get closer that you realize that the palace is actually made of jade bricks.

The door of the palace was tightly closed. The door was vermilion, the same color as the pillars in front, and it was not obtrusive. Before Li Congjia studied what the door was made of, Shi Xueting stretched out his hand and pushed it open.

After the door was opened, Li Congjia was completely surprised. The palace outside the door was located above the sea of ​​clouds, which looked ethereal, but most of the decorations in the palace were red.

How can such a contrast not surprise people?

Li Congjia turned to look at Shi Xueting, and before he could say anything, he heard Yang Xin cheerfully say from behind: "The auspicious time is here!"

Li Congjia was taken aback, auspicious time?What auspicious time?

In the end, before he could ask, Yang Xin found Zhang Qin from nowhere after shouting, and sat down on the floor to start playing. There were other instruments playing beside him.

The tune he played was very familiar, it was the wedding song for the prince's wedding ceremony, even if it was the emperor's wedding, he would use it the same way.

Li Congjia was taken aback by them, and then a few people came out of the quiet palace just now, welcoming the two of them into the palace with a smile.

Li Congjia took a closer look and found that most of them were from the intelligence department. Who was the leader, not Shi Xuehe?

Shi Xuehe, who has become more serious in speech and smile because of his high official position in the intelligence department these years, is smiling very happily at this moment.

Then... Li Congjia followed Shi Xueting to worship the world in such a daze, the red cape on his body looked like he was wearing it happily.

As for Gao Tang... Shi Xueting has never met his own Gao Tang at all, his relationship with Shi Qingsong is only one name, and Li Congjia's Gao Tang... probably won't accept his son spending his life with a man, so This procedure is omitted directly.

After saluting, Shi Xuehe said with a smile: "Originally there should be a banquet, and I should pour it on the younger brother, but the time is tight, and the younger brother wants to keep everything simple, so let's just skip this procedure."

After he finished saying this, he led the others to stand outside the door, saluted and shouted collectively: "I wish your Majesty the National Teacher a happy union for a hundred years, and we will be united forever, and the harps and cymbals will sing in harmony!"

Among them, Yang Xin's name is particularly unique. People call him His Majesty the National Teacher, but he calls him Master and Master.

Li Congjia smiled very happily, full of joy, with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

He couldn't stop laughing, he didn't even dare to dream of such a scene.

In the past, he always felt that there was no way to give Shi Xueting a title and feel ashamed of the other party, but he never expected that Shi Xueting would give him a title first.

Everyone hopes that their feelings can be blessed by others. Before he named Jiating, the bigwigs in the court knew about it. Although they guessed something, they didn't express any opinions. At that time, Li Congjia was already very satisfied.

However, compared to now...he found that he still liked such a lively scene.

The excitement will eventually dissipate. These people don't want to delay Li Congjia and Shi Xueting's happy spring night, so they simply left. Before leaving, Yang Xin said: "Tomorrow...do I want to come later?"

Shi Xueting laughed and scolded: "Go quickly, don't be an eyesore here."

Although Shi Xueting didn't answer, Yang Xin knew that Master was acquiescing to what he said, so he left the mountaintop very happily.

The excitement dissipated, and the top of the mountain returned to its quiet appearance for thousands of years. Li Congjia stood there smiling and looked at Shi Xueting, liking it no matter what he saw.

How can he be so good?It's so good that Li Congjia doesn't even know how to love him.

Shi Xueting came over and hugged Li Congjia, kissed him lightly on the forehead and said, "What? Are you scared? It's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance. It was Eleven Lang who said it was a surprise."

At this time, Li Congjia didn't know that this gift was not from Yang Xin at all, but from Shi Xueting.

Li Congjia hugged him tightly, longing for the two to become one, and after a while he said: "No, I was so happy and stupid, I never thought of it again."

Only then did Shi Xueting relax, and he was not in a hurry to bring people into the bedroom, but took Li Congjia for a walk around. The mountain top is not big, but it is very delicately arranged, full of dreams.

Carved galleries and painted buildings, almost everything that people can think of about the fairy world, can be found in this small world, whether it is the white jade palace, the flowers all over the ground, or the huge tree.

The wind on the top of the mountain was a bit harsh, but Li Congjia felt very warm from head to toe, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

After Shi Xueting took him to visit this small world, he returned to the palace.

The palace is not big, after all, even with Shi Xueting's financial resources, it can't be too big. Apart from the lobby, there are bathrooms and bedrooms. Speaking of which, this place is not bigger than Zichen Palace, but Li Congjia likes it more.

What surprised him the most was that after he came in, he found that it didn't seem to be cold at all, and the temperature inside the room seemed to be much higher than outside.

After hearing his question, Shi Xueting said with a smile: "Because the top of the mountain is too cold, all of them are made of warm jade, otherwise the building wouldn't be so small."

Of course, in addition to Nuanyu, there is also a hot spring here, which is the main source of temperature in the room.

Li Congjia shook his head: "It's not too young, it's just right, just the two of us, very good, very good."

Seeing that he liked it, Shi Xueting was even more happy in his heart. In fact, if possible, he would like to do it tomorrow, but without that condition, Li Congjia can only go back to "perform" two days in advance.

On the day of their big wedding on the fifth day of July, Shi Xueting, uncharacteristically, did not drag Li Congjia into the bridal chamber immediately. Instead, he brought people to eat, drink, write and draw, and even had a tea ceremony, just like an ordinary loving couple in the world generally.

At night, he opened the window to look at the stars. Shi Xueting was afraid that Li Congjia would be frozen, so he wrapped him in thick clothes and hugged him like a ball.

Li Congjia leaned on him and suddenly muttered: "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, you can pick the stars with your hands, you dare not speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings."

Shi Xueting laughed and said, "This is not a dangerous building."

"I just thought of it suddenly. I feel like I can pick up the stars as soon as I stretch out my hand."

Yes, it's too close, and the sky is full of stars, the bright moon is in the sky, and the sea of ​​clouds below reflects the light of the moon, which gives me the illusion that I want to ascend to immortality.

After looking around and feeling that the wind on the top of the mountain was cooler than before, Shi Xueting forcibly closed the window, and murmured ambiguously: "It's time for the bridal chamber."

Li Congjia chuckled, "It seems like I've never done it before."

Shi Xueting was confident and confident: "But it wasn't a bridal chamber at that time."

Li Congjia thought about it, um, it makes sense.

It's strange to say that two people have been together for so many years, and there is nothing new about this kind of thing, but for some reason, their attraction to each other has never diminished.

I don’t know if it’s because of the different meanings this night. Li Congjia seemed very enthusiastic and proactive. Shi Xueting has been with him for so long. Before, Li Congjia couldn’t let go of him. Today he managed to catch up. In the court, Yang Xin would not come too early, and he simply did not restrain himself.

The strange thing is that Li Congjia catered to him from the beginning to the end, and when Shi Xueting carried him to wash at the end, he could even talk to Shi Xueting with half-closed eyes.

But that's all there is, the hot spring is too comfortable, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while, and Shi Xueting didn't know when he was carried out in the end.

On the second day, Yang Xin didn't come until after noon, anyway, it wouldn't take too long to go back, so he might as well be as late as possible, to give the newlyweds some space to be alone, after all, after returning...

He didn't bring a sedan chair or a horse this time, he just drove a carriage up, he thought a lot, he didn't know which of these two people would get in and who'd get off, it's just a bridal chamber wedding, it is estimated that the energy of both of them will be drained , Riding a horse is unrealistic, and it is not appropriate to make a sedan chair separately, and we can spend more time together on the way back, so let's just use a horse-drawn carriage.

He pretended to be smart, Shi Xueting just glanced at him, said nothing, and coaxed Li Congjia into the car.

Yes coax.

I have never been relaxed or satisfied before, and Li Congjia still doesn't show it. Now that there is such a secret palace, Li Congjia has the urge not to go back, especially because this is the palace that only belongs to him and Shi Xueting. He just couldn't put it down.

Fortunately, he still remembered his responsibility in the end, and of course it was mainly Shi Xueting who said: "I knew you would like it, so the place I chose is not very far away, and this sea of ​​clouds doesn't always exist, you see it's almost here now." It’s gone, go back, you can still come in the future, and the next time you come, it will not be a different scene.”

Li Congjia thought it was right, anyway, it wasn't very far away, so let's go.

After getting into the carriage, he asked, "Have you spent a long time looking for this place?"

After all, the mountains on the Qinling Mountains are not so high that there is always a sea of ​​clouds, so I have to look for this thing. Fortunately, Shi Xueting found it, and determined the approximate time when the sea of ​​clouds existed, and then built such a palace.

Shi Xueting smiled: "It's okay."

Li Congjia asked again: "How long have you been preparing?"

Shi Xueting didn't hide anything, he thought about it seriously and said: "Including finding a place, three years."

For three years, Shi Xueting searched for and carefully planned, and spent three years giving Li Congjia a wedding that was not grand but lively and full of blessings.

Shi Xueting said with some regret: "I overestimated myself. I wanted to send it to you on your birthday a year ago, but the construction period did not catch up."

Of course Li Congjia wouldn't blame him, and even if he hadn't experienced it himself, he could figure out how long it would take to find such a mountain, how long it would take to drive from the foot of the mountain, and how long it would take to build a palace and plant flowers and plants.

No matter how stupid Li Congjia was, he could tell that the trees and flowers didn't grow there in the first place, and that they were carefully cared for to grow like this. Last night, he even saw someone sneaking up to cover the flowers on the ground with an oilcloth. Get up and avoid being blown by the night wind.

Returning from the misty fairyland to the prosperity of the world, the regret in Li Congjia's heart became more intense, and her determination to leave became more determined.

It's just that it's not enough now, the prince's ability is not enough, Li Congjia must at least eliminate the surrounding threats before he can leave with confidence.

So he said to Shi Xueting seriously: "I'm sorry."

Shi Xueting was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have already got the best in the world, you gave yourself to me, how can you be sorry for me?"

Li Congjia didn't explain, but thinking about it, he gave Shi Xueting a boat, and Shi Xueting gave him a palace, so that they would only have a home for the two of them, no matter whether it was land or sea.

For a while, Li Congjia also had some motivation - to reach his goal quickly, so that he can be happy with Shi Xueting.

However, even with such thoughts, Li Congjia felt that Wanshou's birthday was boring. Such a birthday was simply an arranged performance.

It turned out that this was boring, Li Congjia drank a little too much at night, thanks to his good wine quality and his appearance, no one noticed that he was drunk, except Shi Xueting.

Originally, Shi Xueting was absent from work for two days, and the work had piled up a lot. Today, he wanted to catch up with work. Seeing Li Congjia's state, he decided to divide things up, and hand over the less important ones to the people below. What he has to deal with will be piled up until tomorrow, and he needs to rush back to accompany his newlywed husband.

After the banquet ended, Li Congjia didn't go back to the Zichen Hall, but went to the bath hall to wash off the alcohol smell on his body. When Shi Xueting rushed over, he was soaking in the water with his eyes closed and resting his mind. Shi Xueting came over to help him relax. Gently massage the head.

Li Congjia opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Didn't you say you have to deal with things tonight?"

Shi Xueting said lightly: "When I came back, I found that nothing happened. Those people are still very capable."

Li Congjia chuckled: "You said that so that I feel that the intelligence department can function without you."

Shi Xueting immediately said seriously: "How is that possible? The really important things still require me to come."

The two chatted and laughed, and Shi Xueting gradually got a clue of Li Congjia's context, and directly changed the subject and said, "Recently Khitan has been a little dishonest."

Sure enough, when it came to state affairs, Li Congjia immediately put aside the melancholy caused by the gap in his heart before, and asked directly: "What's going on?"
