Emperor Xinchen

"Really?" Chu Liangyu stood quietly for a moment, then summoned the palace servants with his palms, and ordered him to find someone to send the Right Prime Minister back to his residence.

"Mingqing, don't forget the date of death you set."

With a cold instruction, Chu Liangyu rode in a chariot overnight along the avenue planted with osmanthus twigs in Kyoto.

It was August when Chu Liangyu returned to the capital with the king's body on his back, and it was already late autumn.In October, the prayer capital is cold and windy, even if you are sitting in the chariot, you can still hear the whistling wind.

"What kind of tree is this tree along the street?" Chu Liangyu casually asked the soldiers guarding outside the chariot, lifting the curtain slightly to look out from the chariot.

Since returning to the capital, she has replaced all the cronies around the king with her subordinates at the border.

"This..." The soldier on horseback glanced at the osmanthus trees standing on both sides of the road, and said hesitantly, "Return to the general, this looks like a osmanthus tree, but it doesn't seem to be..."

"Huh?" Not knowing what the soldiers meant, Chu Liangyu ordered the driver to stop and get off the chariot by himself.

After getting off the chariot, Chu Liangyu was shocked by the hazy shadows in the night.

The avenue in Qiduli is very straight, so the trees beside the avenue are also planted into two black lines, heading straight to the black spot in the distance.

"Where is that black spot?"

The words "Love House and Wu" lingered in his ears, and Chu Liangyu felt a chill all over his body.She couldn't figure out, if the osmanthus twigs really stretched thirty miles outside the city, how would she care about the person who had already passed away.

"Look at the way our army returns."

The soldiers on the horses got off their horses and quickly followed behind Chu Liangyu.

"The army is back?" Chu Liangyu asked unconsciously, but the soldiers couldn't help but sympathize with the king in front of them from the bottom of their hearts.

When General Chu died, these old troops felt bad.But it's not easy to feel like the king in front of me. After the death of General Chu, it would be a bit funny to hear them, the old generals of the Chu general, call him "general".

"The trees along the way are probably planted outside the city." Chu Liangyu talked a lot with Chu Liangyu, and the soldiers repeated the old things she had told others many times, "When I was in northern Xinjiang, I told the general I've had a drink...although the small drinker is not good, but with a few sisters, he can still put the general on the wine table. When the general is drunk, he likes to talk nonsense, saying that there are flowers in Kyoto in August, That flower can not only make cakes and wine, but also make some weird pastries, which smell delicious and taste sweet. If you meet someone you like, give them one or two, or earn some money... ..."

"I... the general still said such things?" Chu Liangyu smiled wryly as he led his soldiers along the street, "Then have you ever found this kind of flower in the capital?"

"Hi! I was planning to look for it. It turned out later that it was a lie made up by the general himself in his spare time. The people in Beijing live a refined life. They like to eat beef and mutton and drink tea milk wine...they Here, no matter what kind of flowers can be made into cakes, pastries, and wine. Even in August, there are at least a few kinds of flowers that can be used in food, such as sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums, which are delicious according to the people in the market. ..." The soldier laughed a few times, and continued, "As for coaxing a man, it's not very reliable... It is said that there are not many men who love flowers in this city, and men who pray for the court cannot be officials, but No one hinders them from getting rich... So, there are more sons who pray for money. This is no different from Beijiang, who also like cattle and horses... So those of us who have no experience are all The general has been lied to!"

"You came to the capital just to start a family?" Chu Liangyu interrupted the soldiers with a frown, "Aren't you afraid that you won't find your husband's family if you stay with Gu?"

"How can you not be afraid of this?" The soldier said twitchingly, "The younger one joined the army at twelve, and now he is sixteen. It would not be too early to find her husband's family within two years... and your majesty, you are the same as our general." , you're in your twenties, and you're still single... If you're single, and the little one follows you, can't you be single?"

"You think it through..." He waved his hands to make the soldiers stop in place, and Chu Liangyu turned on the horse that the soldiers brought from northern Xinjiang.

"Your Majesty—" Seeing that the king got on his horse without saying hello, the soldiers were sweating profusely, "This horse is fierce! You should change..."

"Talking!" Stretching out his hand to whip the soldier's horsewhip, Chu Liangyu said loudly, "Go and tell them, I want to go out of the city alone to have a look!"

"This..." The soldiers stared blankly at the appearance of the king raising his whip, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Really like it!Whether it's posture or demeanor, the king and general Chu are like gods!But why doesn't his face look the same?

Looking away slightly melancholy, the soldier walked towards the chariot, regretting that she just forgot to tell the king that the general doesn't talk much on weekdays.It's just that he's drunk, so he talks useless nonsense.Of course, those useless nonsense are quite interesting to the ears of those who are stationed in the army.

Chu Liangyu galloped along the road on his horse, his thoughts were filled with Yao Huaiyuan's voice and smile.

"Sister Liangyu, do you think the sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming well?"

"Sister Liangyu, you can see that buds have already opened on that branch...or it will bloom in a few days..."

"Sister Liangyu, the flowers are blooming, how about we call the servant girl to pick them and make cakes?"

"Cakes are perishable? Then make a bar. The brewer said that as long as any object is brewed into wine, it can be stored for ten or eight years. Huaiyuan brews a few jars today and waits for ten or eight years. Ah My sister is married, let's dig it out and drink a cup or two of it, it will be very good..."

excellent?

Tightening the reins and stopping at the gate of Chu's mansion, Chu Liangyu stared at the white silk on the gate of Chu's mansion and was slightly absent-minded.

Today, everyone in the world thinks that the general passed away, but how many people know that the one who passed away was not the general, but the king?

Dama walked from the base of the gate of Chu's mansion to a very remote alley, Chu Liangyu decided to take some pots of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that Yao Huaiyuan had buried in the mansion.

Looking for the wall closer to his side courtyard, Chu Liangyu fell steadily into the courtyard of Chu's mansion.

Coincidentally, as soon as Chu Liangyu looked up, he saw the osmanthus tree that he used to see when he was young.

It is still as lush as when I left.The black shadow easily covered Chu Liangyu's figure.

"Huh..." Chu Liangyu quickly pushed away the guards in the mansion with a foul breath, and went straight to the place where the wine was buried.

Years ago, Yao Huaiyuan buried wine and chose the open space in her side courtyard. Later, in order to amuse Yao Huaiyuan, she deliberately turned the open space into a lake.

Holding his breath and diving into the lake, Chu Liangyu secretly blamed Xueyi for being troublesome and planted too many lotus root in the lake.

Chu Liangyu had no choice but to return home disappointed by the scattered branches.

When she returned to the shore of the lake covered in mud, there was already a shining lantern on the shore.

"Your Majesty?" Yao Huaiyuan's body froze without expecting to meet the original body here, how could she explain that she didn't return to the Ming Mansion after she was released from prison, and begged Chu Xueyi to bring her to Chu Liangyu's courtyard?

"Mingxiang?"

Squinting his eyes to look at the people in the candlelight, Chu Liangyu agreed with his heart that clothes depend on people.

An hour ago, the person in front of him was still a pitiful prisoner.An hour later, no one would dare to question her, the right minister, Ming Yuan, has icy muscles and bones, with both talent and appearance.

Seeing that the original body was just staring at him without speaking, Yao Huaiyuan hesitated for a while, and held the bottom of the lantern in his hand to the king: "Your Majesty, please go first..."

"Okay?" Looking back at Yao Huaiyuan amusedly, Chu Liangyu said, "I don't know what Yiqing sees, where can I go alone?"

"Uh……"

Frozen by the cold air on Chu Liangyu's body, Yao Huaiyuan calmly glanced at the person in front of him.

The original body was still wearing the same clothes that he was in prison just now, and the hair ornament on his head was the same hair ornament that he was wearing in prison just now.

If it had to be different, then when she was in prison just now, there were several maidservants around her, but now, there is only a dripping king in front of her.

Thinking about the high winds in October, if you wear wet clothes outside, you may catch the wind and cold, Yao Huaiyuan lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, please enter the living room and change clothes..."

"Changing clothes?" Not knowing how the person in front of me could say such words in someone else's mansion, Chu Liangyu's eyes flashed darkly, "Did Mingqing forget that this is the Chu's mansion?"

"Yes." Nodding to accept Chu Liangyu, Yao Huaiyuan explained, "Master Chu prepared two clothes for my minister. I don't like colorful clothes, so I chose plain ones. If Your Majesty doesn't mind..."

"I don't dislike it." Remembering Yao Huaiyuan's usual preferences, Chu Liangyu said seriously, "I just want this on Qing..."

"This..." Yao Huaiyuan supported his forehead.

How could she have forgotten that she and the king originally had the same hobby.

"If your majesty likes it, please help your majesty to enter the room." Raising his eyebrows, he indicated that Chu Liangyu was inconvenient to move, and Yao Huaiyuan waited silently for him to go back to the room to change clothes.

Chu Liangyu is not a winkless person.Seeing that the woman in plain clothes was insincere, she chuckled lightly, and lifted the woman in plain clothes swiftly.

"How did you come out just now?" Chu Liangyu showed half of his arm hiding from the water on his sleeve.

"It's Mr. Chu." Yao Huaiyuan was amazed by Chu Liangyu's hug in the air.When did the original body practice such good strength?She remembered that when this body was used by herself, it seemed that it was laborious to move the memorial.

"Mingqing seems surprised?" Chu Liangyu squinted to meet Yao Huaiyuan's eyes.

The right minister, Mingyuan, should never have the fugue-like look of the person in her arms!Inexplicably doubting the identity of the person in his arms, Chu Liangyu said, "Who are you?"

"Minister?" Yao Huaiyuan paused, and after thinking about it, Xu Shi was lost in thought, so that his flaws were revealed, and he hurriedly said, "I am terrified."

"Oh?" Wen Huaizhong avoided answering about his identity, Chu Liangyu made a gesture to throw him into the lake, "Mingqing thinks it would be good to die in the lake?"

"I am frightened."

Yao Huaiyuan tried his best to force a smile.She was not afraid of death, but since she was released from the prison, she suddenly became afraid.She wants to live, like the osmanthus twigs she planted on both sides of the road in the old days, living with her longing for Liangyu.
