snowstorm

The affairs of Yanzhou and Jizhou in Bingzhou have all been completed, Dasheng has no internal and external troubles for the time being, and the emperor has returned to Jinling with Li Mingbei and Gu Wang.Lu Jue was wounded, and there was no hurry, so Xie Qiao found a comfortable carriage and drove slowly with Lu Jue.

When we finally arrived in Jinling, it was almost midsummer.

On the edge of the Yangtze River.

Xie Qiao had just gotten off the boat, but her face was pale, but her eyes were clear and energetic.The wind along the Yangtze River is not weak all year round. It is approaching midsummer at this time, and the hot wind blowing from the city only brings a bit of coolness when it blows to the river.

Lu Jue's injury couldn't stand the wind, Xie Qiao smiled and helped him tighten the cloak, and said, "Shall we go home?"

As soon as Xie Qiao finished speaking, when Lu Jue was about to reply, he saw a chubby figure trotting towards them, and then rushed towards them like a huge egg: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Xu Lai held onto Xie Qiao's sleeve tightly, snot and burst into tears: "Your Highness, you are back! I need to worry to death!"

Xie Qiao frowned fiercely, and tried hard to pull his sleeve back from the other party's hand: "Xu Lai, you, let me go!"

Xu Lai squinted his small eyes, didn't let go of his hands, and gripped even tighter: "Your Highness, I heard that the situation in the north was very critical a while ago, please show me quickly, is Your Highness injured?" Open Xie Qiao's sleeve to check.

The people around the ferry looked this way intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Qiao couldn't bear it any longer, and slapped Xu Lai's head hard with one finger, and finally pulled out his sleeve, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't feel ashamed. It's embarrassing." What's more, it's embarrassing in front of Lu Jue.

Lu Jue watched this scene from the side and finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Xu Lai looked at Lu Jue anxiously: "Lord Lu... You, look at our Highness, I can't ask you from His Highness, please give me a letter from Lord Lu, is your Highness injured this time?"

Just as Lu Jue was about to say something, Xie Qiao tapped on it again and said, "Your Highness is fine, he is the one who has something to do." Then he pulled Lu Jue's wrist, and said to Xu Lai, "Go back to the palace first, Ben The king will send him back to the Lu Mansion first." When it's delivered, let's clean it up, take a rest, and it won't be too late to return to the mansion.

After saying that, he was about to pull people away, Xu Lai opened his eyes wide: "Master Lu is injured? How is the injury now?" No wonder Master Lu wants to wear a cloak in this hot weather, he can probably guess how much his Highness loves him now ...

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lu Jue was dragged forward by Xie Qiao, but she still turned her head and smiled back.

Standing by the river, Xu Lai stared blankly at the two figures blending into the crowd, feeling aggrieved on his face: His Highness has been away from Jinling for several months, and he has been away from home for years. He has just returned to Jinling. It was the Lu family who went... However, the figures of those two people were so beautiful and harmonious. Xu Lai looked at it, and he couldn't help but feel relieved on his face, which completely covered the grievance. In the end, he laughed all the time. It couldn't close anymore, and the people around me got goosebumps all over their bodies.

Royal Palace.

Xie Zheng had just come back for less than a month, and when he was away, Prime Minister Lu was assisting the young Xie Zhao to supervise the country.During the days when he came back, he has been busy reviewing the papers and meeting the ministers, checking the situation of the crown prince supervising the country, checking for omissions and filling vacancies, and dealing with some things that only the emperor can handle.Finally got some free time today.

After being free, the emperor can finally enjoy the newly blooming lotus in the palace with the empress on the promenade by the pool.

The lotus flowers in the palace are blooming very well, the red flowers and emerald green covers are delicate and charming, and the fragrance is very quiet, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.Xie Zheng threw all the bait in his hand into the lotus pond, and groups of koi swam to grab it.

Originally it was a beautiful scenery, and he was accompanied by his sweetheart, Xie Zheng was smiling, but now he sighed rarely.

Seeing this, the queen stretched out her catkin-like hand, placed it on the emperor's temple and pressed it lightly, with a slight smile on her face: "Maybe the concubine shares worries with His Majesty?"

Xie Zheng smiled, he put his hand on the empress's, and said: "That Tingtong has to guess, what is the lonely worry about?"

The queen smiled and said: "The concubine guessed two things. But according to the concubine, there is only one thing that His Majesty is really worried about."

"Oh?" Xie Zheng turned around, nodded at the Queen's eyebrows, and said, "Say it."

The queen said: "The first thing is about Qiao Er and General Lu?"

Xie Zheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he still said: "Yes. Although I have already figured this out in my heart, but thinking about it now..." The corners of his mouth twitched again, and said: "Huaiyu has injuries on her body. , Gu can’t hit people with his hands.”

The queen chuckled: "Even if General Lu is not injured, how could Qiao Er be willing to let you beat him?" After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, the most rare thing in this world is the gratification of two people, so please take it easy, Your Majesty." .”

Xie Zheng sighed, and said, "So what if I don't look away from Gu? Not only Gu wants to look away, but also everyone in this city." After a pause, a streak flashed across his eyes. Guang: "Huaiyu is not a secretive temperament, this matter will spread sooner or later-Qiaoer is Gu's younger brother, Huai Yu is Gu's brother, Gu must protect them, no one in this city can hurt them because of it."

The Queen smiled and nodded: "What Your Majesty said is very true." Then she said: "This is the first thing, this is the second thing, but that jade plaque?"

When Xie Zheng heard this, the smile was completely removed from his face: "Yes." He looked at the queen, with some pain in his eyes: "Ting Tong, I have a younger brother, but this time I don't know what to do. I couldn't find him. He must have suffered a lot in the past few years. If one day, Gu meets him, do you think he will hate Gu for not being able to pick him up in time? Tell me, will Qiao Er Can you blame Gu, but leave his fellow brothers outside when you pick him up?"

The queen sighed slightly, leaned into the emperor's arms, and said softly: "How can you blame your majesty? Your majesty, good luck makes people fool, who would have thought that the concubine Shu gave birth to two children? Your majesty has Send someone to investigate, and he will definitely be found, and when he returns home, His Majesty will treat him well and explain to him well, and he will be considerate of His Majesty." She looked up at Xie Zheng, and reached out to stroke his eyebrows : "Qiao Er will definitely not blame His Majesty. He respects His Majesty the elder brother most in his heart."

The emperor took the queen into his arms, but still heaved a heavy sigh.

This is a regret that lingers in his heart for a long time.It is impossible for him to go back to the past to make up for his regrets, so he can only make up for it.He couldn't find anyone in Bingzhou and Yanzhou. He couldn't return to Jinling, so he could only send someone to investigate.Before he went to Bingzhou, Yang Su started to look for the people who were around Concubine Shu when Concubine Shu gave birth. Concubine Shu was killed by Concubine Qian, and the people around her were almost slaughtered. It was hard to find. However, it is hard to find, but you have to find it.

He is the son of heaven, but he only hopes that they can be like ordinary people, brothers and sisters reunite and share a family relationship.

……

Li Fu.Pixia Court.

The branches, leaves and flowers of the pagoda tree in Pixia Garden have covered the sky, almost completely covering the courtyard.It was hot outside, but the courtyard was rather eerie and cool.

The boy in common clothes was taking a water bottle to water the viburnum growing outside the window of the study.The viburnum flower was sick at first, but within a month after the young man took care of it, it became energetic, at this moment it even opened one or two small buds.

The old housekeeper entered the yard, bowed respectfully to the boy, and said, "Young master, it's time to eat, where are you eating?"

The young man put down the kettle in his hand, blinked those black and white eyes, and said, "Today, my lord will come back at noon. I'll wait for my lord to come back and use it with my lord." Some red: "You...you can just call me Yanying, I can't afford to be your son, I'm just your lord's bookboy."

The old butler smiled and said: "Young master, you are joking. I asked the kitchen to heat up the meal. When the adults come back, I will send it to Pixia Court." After speaking, he respectfully saluted the young man, turned and left .

After leaving the gate of Pixia Garden, the old housekeeper still had a gentle smile in his eyes: On that day, their adults personally brought the young man into the door, saying that he was a book boy, but they placed him in Pixia Garden—— Their adults have always been lonely and withdrawn, except for cleaning the Pixia Garden, they never allow their servants to enter. The young man was brought into the Pixia Garden by his adults, so he naturally treated him like a master.

"grown ups!"

As soon as Li Mingbei came back, the boy's black and white eyes lit up all of a sudden, Li Mingbei's eyes were rarely warm, and he said, "Have you done your homework today?"

Yan Ying nodded: "It's all done. I've finished reading the books my lord asked me to read."

Li Mingbei raised his eyebrows, Tao Hua rarely had a playful smile in his eyes, and said: "Then I will test you later, I know you have a good memory, but you don't just have to read books by heart." After a pause, he continued: "After you finish reading it, you can go to the Zangshu Pavilion and choose what you want to read. As I said, you can use the Zangshu Pavilion as you like."

Li Mingbei is very famous in Jinling City, the first famous one is his reputation as a courtier, the second famous one is his Zangshu Pavilion.Li Mingbei is a ruthless courtier who is feared and scolded by everyone in Jinling City, but in this courtier's family, there is a Zangshu Pavilion that all scholars in Dasheng are envious of.

Yan Ying nodded. Just as he was about to ask if your lord would like to eat, he saw some annoyance in Li Mingbei's eyes. He blinked and asked, "Why is your lord bothered?"

Li Ming sadly narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Ying with a half-smile, "Your eyes are very sharp." After finishing speaking, he continued the matter: "It's all about a jade token." There was a rare sigh in his voice.

He will be so concerned about this matter, in the final analysis, it is because the Son of Heaven is concerned, and the Son of Heaven is not only concerned, but may also be sad because of this matter - Your Majesty, he has always valued affection.

He is already looking for the person, as long as the person is still alive, he will not fail to find out any news, and if he finds out the news, he will be able to follow the clues to find the person.But what he was worried about was that that person would hurt His Majesty's heart, as well as that little prince's heart - the little prince's heart was cold, but in fact it is very soft now - after staying in Jinling for so many years, His Majesty is like this It hurts, and there is Lu Huaiyu, how can his heart not be soft?

Although there is no evidence, he can probably guess from the clues that that Danqi is inextricably related to the brother His Majesty is looking for, or——Li Mingbei narrowed his eyes—he is... …

If all the speculations are true, he can't help but think, what is the brother of His Majesty and the little prince, that Xie Fu, who planned to use that jade card to lure His Majesty to Yanzhou, what exactly was he trying to do?He was by King An's side, helping King An to rob graves everywhere to raise soldiers, but this person disappeared completely when King An had an accident; and, Beiliang, it happened to be such a coincidence that the army from Beiliang came as soon as King An raised his troops...

"My lord, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. How about eating first?"

Yan Ying's voice sounded, and Li Mingbei came back to his senses. He buried those thoughts in his heart, and finally said: "Okay."

Lu House.

After washing and eating, Lu Jue let the servants out of the courtyard, and the servants of the Lu family also knew that their young master never liked being disturbed, so they all quietly left the courtyard.

Lu Jue looked at Xie Qiao with a smile on his face, but he could still tell that he had something on his mind.He naturally knew what was on Xie Qiao's mind, so he said: "Don't worry, His Majesty has sent people to look for them, and they will always be found." After a pause, he said: "Do you want to walk in the courtyard?"

Xie Qiao was taken aback, then smiled, and said: "I know." Then he nodded, "That's fine. I haven't seen the guy in the yard for a few months, and I haven't had time to take a closer look just now."

Lu Jue stood up and nodded his eyebrows: "Let's go."

The sun is in the sky, and the cicadas are singing.

The begonias in the courtyard have already opened up the branches and leaves covering the sky, and the shade under the tree is very cool.Although the crabapple flowers have already bloomed now, the tree is big, but there are still some flowers left.

Lu Jue leaned on the tree trunk, folded his arms and looked at Xie Qiao who was looking up flowers from the bushes with his head slightly raised at this time, with a smile on his face.

At this time, a flower swayed down, and it happened to land on Lu Jue's shoulder.Xie Qiao's eyes followed the flower to Lu Jue.

When he smiled, he took a few steps forward and gently took the flowers on Lu Jue's shoulders. He was about to take a few steps back when Lu Jue grabbed the front of his front. Lu Jue raised his eyebrows: "Is it enough to take the flowers?"

Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment, and overwhelming emotions spread in his eyes. He stared straight at Lu Jue's face, took another step forward, pushed Lu Jue against the tree, breathed on Lu Jue's face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Naturally not enough."

After finishing speaking, he covered Lu Jue's lips.

"Well……"

Lips and teeth intertwined, breathing intertwined.

The greenery is everywhere, the white flowers alternate with each other, the breeze blows, and the two people kiss each other emotionally under the tree, which is a beautiful scenery.

Mrs. Lu saw this beautiful scene when she entered her son's yard.

Her eyes darkened and she almost fainted.She searched left and right and finally found a sword, and the woman who was born in the general family drew the sword quite neatly.

"Click"

A small bamboo was chopped off in the middle.Madam Lu's trembling voice resounded throughout the yard:

"Lu, Huai, Yu! Get lost, old lady!"

The author has something to say: I still don't have enough [-]-word QAQ, I will work hard tomorrow!

Comparing my heart, I hope the little angels are all safe and well, and everything goes well.
