The Dragon's Families of Mountains and Rivers

"Busy with government affairs?"

The queen looked at Dan Kou with her eyes lowered, and the corners of her lips curled up in self-deprecating manner.

"...Go back to your majesty, the chief steward replied that your majesty is busy with government affairs... I'm afraid I can't move Fengyu Palace today... Your majesty has agreed to your majesty's request." The chief eunuch is usually able to speak in front of the master, and now he has the courage to bite the bullet and finish his sentence.

"Jiang Liangsheng, where did you meet His Majesty?"

"...Go back to your majesty, the servant has never seen His Majesty at all..."

"Then where did you get the chief executive's reply?" the queen asked indifferently.

"Go back to your mother, the slave is in the Tai Chi Hall..."

The queen suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty is clearly in the bedroom, but he also dismissed the palace with a sentence of busy government affairs."

After many years of husband and wife, in the end, he didn't even want to pretend...

"Your Majesty." Shulan, the personal maid who accompanied her at the side, looked at the frowning master and sighed softly, "Your Majesty's temperament is indifferent and deserted. It's not that our Fengyu Palace has been treated so coldly over the years. Which concubine doesn't see each other all year round?"

"How many times have I met throughout the year?"

Shulan opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing how to comfort her.

"Forget it." The queen smiled, "If you treat it coldly, you can treat it coldly, anyway, there is no woman in this palace who has won the emperor's favor." If there are no exceptions, why should she be sad?

This back court has no favor, no heirs.

She is the lord of the backyard, the mother of a country, so honored, what is she wishing for?

"Your Majesty, that Concubine Zhang De..."

"Huh?" The queen suddenly looked up at her, "Why did you mention her?"

"This time Xiangguo Temple visited the Queen Mother, that Concubine Zhang De seems to be quite concerned."

"Quite caring?" The queen was puzzled.

"Well, according to what Lianzhi's girl reported back, since you mentioned this matter this morning, she has actively arranged for people to leave the palace as soon as she returned to the palace, and there seems to be something wrong with her expression."

"You can tell if you look wrong? That girl has grown a lot." The queen chuckled.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang De has always been cold and cheerless, her expression is indifferent and unobtrusive. This is suddenly abnormal, how can she not be eye-catching?" Shulan shook her head.

The well-manicured and beautifully long nails slid across the thumbs from the index finger to the little finger one by one. The queen smiled a little casually, "I'm afraid I thought I could see your majesty, and I don't know if it will be like this after listening to your majesty's will." Abnormal?"

"Over the years, she has been the number one in this palace besides your empress, so naturally she has a lot of thoughts."

"Bengong?" Hearing this, the queen sneered, "Since I got married and entered the palace, when did I win the top spot? Her Zhang family is the one who really won the top court."

"My lady..."

"Who has ever received the imperial decree conferred by His Majesty? Who has received the honor of being canonized until midnight? And who has received the grace of making an exception to leave the palace to visit relatives within ten months after entering the palace? You have to follow the rules of your ancestors when you go out of the palace to visit relatives, has there ever been an exception?" The queen looked sideways at the open carved wooden window, outside the window was filled with greenery, and on the surface there was still the bleakness of cold winter, and it would only be a matter of time before she was broken. "This palace is wrong, there are special cases in this palace."

"Your Majesty, Zhang's father is the right minister of the court, and he sits firmly on the Minister's Order. I'm afraid that His Majesty has considered a lot this time."

"Which of the women in the harem is not from the family of important ministers in the court, can you see who His Majesty has considered?"

Shulan silently fell silent.

She raised her hand to caress her hair on the temples, but touched the icy jade, the queen gave her a hand, was she not reconciled?

When the key was released in the palace, Xuan Zhan returned to the Tai Chi Hall on time.

The sky outside was slightly dark, and the palace lanterns were lit inside the hall, illuminating the hall like daytime. As soon as Xuan Zhan stepped into the door of the hall, he saw a man sitting on a soft couch in a daze.

He sat quietly on the soft couch, his eyes were empty, his expression was indifferent, his whole body was indifferent, he was clearly a 16-year-old boy, but he seemed to see through the world, he didn't care about everything, he had no desires or desires.

This is not the first time Xuan Zhan has seen him like this, but no matter how many times he has seen him, when he saw this scene, his heart hurt like suffocation.

He knew that his love had become his burden, and he left him in this Tai Chi hall, where he was suffering and suffering, as if he was nailed to a torture cart and tortured, but he never wanted to let him die. Speaking of this pain is just a silent way to show his resistance to this feeling.

But if you don't keep him so forcefully, he is alone, and you have established yourself in the world for him in this life. If you don't have him, where should you live in this world?

He knew that such feelings were not tolerated in the world, and definitely not something he could accept.

He regards him as the king or master, brother or elder, but he can never be a lover, a man he can love and love...

"Mourner."

After recuperating, Xuan Zhan suppressed the disappointment in his heart, smiled softly and called softly, "Why are you sitting here? It's cold and dew heavy, be careful not to catch cold."

He went forward and closed the wide carved window in front of the soft couch, and when he sat down, he brushed a strand of hair that was blown by the cool wind outside the window to his cheeks behind his shoulders, matching the large black hair behind him.

Yun Wei bowed his head, silently not answering.

Together with Xuan Zhan, Yun Gie was always too silent, unless necessary, he seldom spoke, and rarely answered, when the two were together, Xuan Zhan talked and laughed more often by himself.

"Your body is just right, so you need to be more careful. Spring is the season that is most likely to trigger symptoms. Sun Jing said that your lungs are dry and your heart is hot. This season is just a good time to take care of your body. After summer and autumn, you need to strengthen it carefully. In the middle of winter, you will not often catch cold."

"Mm〇" "The weather is getting warmer. I am busy with government affairs during the day, so I can't spend too much time with you. I told Xiaofuzi that you walk around in the garden more often. It will be good for your health."

"Your mother and concubine gave birth prematurely, and your body was born with some deficiencies, so you need to take good care of it."

"You've been in the Northwest all these years, and I'm beyond my reach, and now I'm back..."

"Boom——" Just as he was talking, there was a burst of thunder outside.

Xuan Zhan straightened up and pushed open the carved window that had just been closed. The coolness invaded, and Xiao Fuzi was very clever. When he watched His Majesty get up to push the window, he hurried to get the fox fur cloak.

Looking at the little master, Xiao Fuzi cleverly handed the cloak to His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting beside him.

Xuan Zhan took it and draped it carefully on his shoulders. The rumbling thunder outside resounded through the sky one after another.

"In a few days it will be the Waking of Insects."

The sound of thunder continued intermittently, followed by light rain. Yun Ghou looked at it, turned his head and spoke to the emperor, in a daze, "Your Majesty, I want to go for a walk..."

Xuan Zhan was a little surprised, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

Yun Wai nodded.

"Okay." Xuan Zhan nodded, signaling Quan An to prepare.

Knowing that he doesn't like too much physical contact, Xuan Zhan just tidied up the cloak for him, then let him go. Yun Ghou watched, pursed the corners of his lips silently, and walked towards the palace gate first.

He didn't go to the back garden as usual, but went directly to the gate of the front hall.

Xuan Zhan didn't make a sound, and silently followed behind him, and they walked out of the gate of the Taiji Hall and the main palace gate together, leading to the huge royal road in front of the palace.

Yun Wei turned to the left and turned into the palace road that runs through the entire palace. He leaned against the high palace wall and walked aimlessly step by step. The bewilderment in his eyes followed the endless palace road. more and more long.

The rain outside was not heavy, just a drizzle as thin as a cow's hair.

I don't know how long I walked, and finally came to the end of the palace road. At the end of the road is a locked palace gate, without guards, and I don't know where it leads.

no way...

Yun Ghou touched the closed door, and slumped down on the stone steps.

There is no way, is this the end?

The high palace walls, the closed palace gates, the silence of a dry well without waves, is this the end of the palace road?

Xuan Zhan followed him all the way silently, seeing him slumped on the ground, and when he was powerlessly leaning against the closed palace gate, he silently bent down to pick up the person on the ground, She walked back silently holding him.

Let you walk alone when you come, and I will always be by your side on the way back and forth, and I will protect you when you are tired.

Yun Ghou seemed to be tired, or maybe he was used to not resisting the embrace of the Ninth Five Supreme, silently leaning on his shoulder, even though his body was still as stiff as iron.
