Your Majesty Cheng Huan

In the early spring of the 250th year of Zhongzhou, when the afterglow of the festival was still reverberating in this rich land of the capital, one morning, the sky was just getting bright, and there were still two or three faint stars shining weakly in the distant sky. Under the sky, a not-so-luxurious carriage parked quietly under the south gate of the capital, without attracting anyone's attention.

The soldiers on the top of the city watch who have not changed their shifts are still dozing off, smashing their mouths to reunite with their families during the New Year's Eve. The whole family gathers around a table and eats fragrant rice. The saliva in the corners of their mouths has already wet Take off the short scarf on the chest.Although it was already spring, the weather didn't seem to be warming up yet. Xiao Bing wore his hat on one side, hugged his wife in his arms, and curled up against the base of the wall.

"Hey! Why are you still sleeping! Get up! Get up!"

Being kicked awake, Xiao Bing hurriedly got up from the base of the wall, straightened his hat in a panic, and wiped his saliva with a sip.His colleagues also looked at each other sleepily, and some looked down from the city wall, seeing a carriage parked in front of the city gate, they couldn't help talking.

"Who is so short-sighted? It's not time to open the city gate yet!"

"The commander called out, this person is not an ordinary person..."

Such a couple of complaints, but they still have no way of knowing what kind of unusual person is in the carriage, because the people in the carriage have never shown their faces from the beginning to the end, only the carriage driver sitting on the front of the carriage with his feet hanging , looking like a fool.After entering the city, the carriage drove along the avenue and headed north.

The sound of the wheels gradually stopped until He Xiaowan woke up Li Chenghuan when he reached the gate of Nangong.There was no one in front of the Nangong gate in the early morning, and the palace guards on duty at night had just started to change their defenses. Everyone was silent, and there was only the chirping of armor and weapons as they walked.

When Li Chenghuan got out of the car, he saw a woman in fine clothes standing outside the gate of the palace, looking up at this side.He walked up to the woman, let her put on an exaggeratedly thick cloak, and said, "It's a shame that you waited for me here so early, in fact, there is no need..."

Wang Wuguo straightened his clothes for him, and the two walked inside together.She said, "The emperor asked me to come pick you up."

Li Chenghuan nodded silently, and Wang Wuguo continued, "When you come back, the crown prince must be the one you want to see the most."

Xiao He is now the prince, Li Chenghuan thought.He didn't know why he came back, if he really wanted to find a reason, it would be because of He'er.In this capital city, there is actually nothing he cares about, and there is no one he can miss... As for Xiao Qian - he doesn't think about it.The only thing that is certain is that there is only He'er, and he is still worried.

"The prince still lives in the East Palace. After you left, the emperor asked him to study in the Taixue. The prince has already shown extraordinary intelligence at a young age. He and his masters have several exquisite answers, which are even widely known among the people in the capital. Praise. Everyone says that if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be a sage king who will not lose to his father."

"He was a smart kid." Li Chenghuan said.He was more than happy to hear these words.However, after a pause, he said again: "But I...would rather keep him as far away from that position as possible."

Wang Wuguo turned her head and looked at him slightly surprised.Li Chenghuan smiled almost self-deprecatingly, without explaining.These words, he can only say to this close friend.

Whether Xiao He should be the prince is not something he can decide; that is, whether he should ascend the throne and become the emperor is not something he can control.He is just a little selfish.The person who sits in that position has to bear too many responsibilities in his life. He doesn't want He'er to repeat the path that Emperor Xia Jing walked.

"But your majesty, there is only the crown prince." Wang Wuguo asked him, "Cheng Huan, what do you think?"

Li Chenghuan followed her to stop and looked around. The palace was still as strange as it was before he left.Empty, with nothing to rely on.

He shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know what I'm thinking or what I should think about."

Wang Wuguo held his arm and asked, "Don't you want the emperor to be alone with you from now on? Don't you want to stay with him forever?"

Seeing the serious and tense face of his best friend, Li Chenghuan smiled easily.He said: "A lifetime? A lifetime is too long, how dare I expect..."

Wang Wuguo hated iron for being weak: "Then why did you come back this time? Since you've already left, why are you coming back?"

Li Chenghuan was silent and did not answer.Wang Wuguo finally sighed: "Oh, forget it! You just came back, I shouldn't have told you this. In the palace, you can come to me at any time, no matter what happens, it's better to have someone to consult with you than you alone. "

"Ah."

He Xiaowan disappeared as soon as he entered the gate of the imperial palace. He is a member of the Imperial Forest Army, and it is normal for him to be elusive.Wang Wuguo sent him to the gate of the East Palace. He originally thought that Xiao He would wait for him at the gate of the palace, but he didn't.

Just like before he left, the East Palace was still deserted.I don't know when this magnificent palace has been really lively for thousands of years.

When the palace servants saw him, they retreated aside, lowered their heads and waited silently for him to pass by.No one saluted him because he had no status, but no one dared to offend him.He walked all the way to the entrance of Changle Hall in such a trembling atmosphere.

At this time in the past, the prince should have gone to the Imperial Academy, but today, he still fell asleep and did not wake up.It is not appropriate to say that sleeping late, it is more appropriate to say that pretending to sleep.His father told him yesterday that his husband would come back today, and that he didn't have to study too much during the days when his husband was here.

From the moment he knew it, he began to look forward to the arrival of this day, but when the sky light leaked into the window lattice of Changle Hall, he suddenly felt afraid.So at this hour, he still didn't want to get up.It seemed that if he insisted on not getting up, it would still be night.

The gate of Changle Hall opened, and his little heart beat uncontrollably.Someone sat down by the bed, and his eyelids trembled disobediently.

Li Chenghuan patted his head and laughed, "Why are you still pretending to be asleep?"

Xiao He opened his eyes suddenly, and Li Chenghuan stroked his hair, and said, "He'er, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you when my husband left..."

Hearing this, Xiao He sat up all of a sudden, and threw himself into Li Chenghuan's arms - he didn't want Mr. to say such a thing.Li Chenghuan did stop talking, just hugged him, sighed and patted him lightly.That's fine, he thought, just like this, it seems that he really doesn't have to think about anything.

Chu Yang gradually dissipated the cold lingering on the ground, but this process was extremely slow.It starts from the three steps in front of the East Palace Gate, and the thin white air repeatedly soars and spins up; there are several unknown weeds in the corner of the wall, and there are still a few unknown wild flowers blooming. A little closer is the palace steps of the Changle Palace. It has been trampled and polished by people for thousands of years, but somehow they have dug out a few potholes that are not deep and not shallow, like the eyes of the earth. .Holding the hem of the black dragon robe, he stepped up the steps step by step, approaching the half-open and half-closed palace door in front of him step by step.

As soon as the morning came, he couldn't help coming here.On the east edge of the East Palace, the early sun hangs high, bluffing.With every step he took, his heart seemed to get a little tighter.

What does the emperor want?It's not the glory and wealth, it's not the supreme authority. He wants the world to be peaceful and the people to be happy.But aside from his status as emperor, the two most important people in his life are here.

He actually fell asleep with him.

He hugged the little him, deep in the curtain, also curled up like a baby.How could he bear to disturb the beauty that was born just like this early spring, fragile and hesitant?

Xiao Qian carefully hugged the big and the small into his arms from behind, Li Chenghuan was awakened by the sudden cold touch from behind, and opened his eyes.

Xiao Qian put his face on his neck, and took a deep breath of the warm breath.Li Chenghuan trembled slightly, tilted his head, and asked softly, "Did you go down?"

"En." Xiao Qian nodded, and rubbed against him.

"He'er was awake at first, but now he fell asleep again."

"Hmm." He still didn't answer anything, just promised vaguely.

So Li Chenghuan stopped talking.The coldness on the back gradually dissipated, and the three people's body temperature warmed each other.The morning sun was lingering, and the clean and bright sunlight poured into the hall through the window lattice, finally dispelling the coldness and coldness accumulated in its long history.

What else can we ask for at this moment?

The author has something to say:

Today is my birthday as I write this chapter.In the morning, my mother called and asked me to buy something delicious to reward myself, and I suddenly remembered my birthday.The weather in Hainan has been cold for a long time, and the sun suddenly came out today. Although there is still chill in the air, a little bit of warmth is still to be expected.This story may come to an end soon, but the real winter on this southern island has not yet come.
