Xia Youxiangyun

The author has something to say: This article will be a little longer than "One Life Eternal Life", because Xia Rui is really so distressing QWQ

Qin Xuan was defeated, Qin Yao relied on Qin Xuan's "Record of Generals" to completely clean up the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Qinghe has finally returned to Qin Yao's control, and the atmosphere in the court has also been revived. Many veteran officials have finally seen that Qin Yao's court no longer needs them, and they have returned to their hometowns one after another to make way for those young talents in the court. seat.Fu Qingyan was promoted to Minister of the Household Department, and Jiang Jingyuan also succeeded An Guogong.

"Master Xia is here?" Eunuch Gao knocked on the door of the small house. Xia Rui never liked to close the door, and always kept it a secret. Eunuch Gao walked in without hearing anyone answering. "Gao Gonggong?" Xia Rui poked his head out from the front hall: "What's the matter?" Gao Gonggong saw that he was holding a rag and broom in his hand, and was stunned for a moment: "Master Xia, are you here? Cleaning?"

Xia Rui nodded: "Things are over for the past few days. I'm going to go home in two days. I want to pack up before I leave."

There has always been a gap between Xia Rui and the Xia family. Gao Yan has been with Qin Yao for so many years and has always paid attention to the people around Qin Yao. He has known this for a long time. Even Xia Rui had never returned home when he was awarded a Jinshi , this time he suddenly said that he wanted to go home, so it can be seen that there is something to do. Although Gao Yan is a person close to the emperor, he is a eunuch after all, so it is not easy to ask, he just said: "Your Majesty has hosted a banquet today to entertain all adults. , asked our family to bring Lord Xia into the palace."

Xia Rui was taken aback, since the last time he contradicted Qin Yao for more than three months, Qin Yao has never summoned himself: "Today?" Eunuch Gao nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty will be busier and busier in the next few days After thinking about it, only today will I be free to have a banquet with a few adults."

"Here, I don't know, who are there?" Xia Rui asked cautiously. No wonder he was so cautious. Although he and Qin Yao could meet each other in the court every day for the past three months, there were no more I said a word, when things go wrong, there must be demons, there are not many twists and turns in this palace, there is nothing wrong with being more careful.

"They are all adults' colleagues." Eunuch Gao looks very kind, and his smile is very friendly, which makes Xia Rui relax a lot unknowingly: "That's it, I know, I must be on time Arrived." I am not Han Xin who holds heavy soldiers in his hands, if he wants to clean up himself, there is really no need to trick himself into the palace.

"Eunuch Gao? Where are we going?" Xia Rui followed Eunuch Gao around the imperial garden, but didn't go to the place where Qin Yao often held banquets. The imperial garden looked deserted and not very popular. It doesn't look like a banquet is set up to feast all the ministers.Eunuch Gao didn't speak, and just walked forward with Xia Rui with his head down. Xia Rui felt more and more nervous. He had heard that the birds were good at bows, and the cunning rabbits were dead dogs, but he didn't expect Qin Yao to do it so quickly?

"Here we are." Eunuch Gao said softly, "Then our family will leave first."

What catches the eye is indeed a small round table for eating, which looks more like Qin Yao's private banquet, and there are no palace attendants around. Xia Rui frowned and looked at the two wooden chairs beside the small round table, feeling that things were getting worse. Out of his control.Xia Rui looked around, but did not see Qin Yao, not even a few figures, only a few shadowy court ladies standing far away, the palace lanterns in their hands emitting a faint light.

Without a summons, Xia Rui naturally didn't dare to act rashly, and just stood with his head down at the place where Eunuch Gao brought him.

Suddenly there was the sound of a person stepping on the lawn behind him, before Xia Rui had time to react, he was embraced by the person behind him.

"Your Majesty?" Xia Rui asked tentatively. He was not sure about the identity of the person behind him. After all, since he angered Qin Yao last time, it has been more than three months since he had no contact with Qin Yao. "Xiangyun," Qin Yao hugged Xia Rui and said in a low voice, "I miss you very much." Xia Rui was stunned for a moment, then pushed Qin Yao's hand away: "Didn't you say you want to entertain all the ministers?" "There are no ministers, only you "Qin Yao looked at him: "If I didn't tell you that there are others, would you come back?"

Xia Rui didn't speak, Qin Yao said again: "I treated you like that before, not because I was angry with you, but because Zhong Xing was suspicious of our relationship, and I was afraid that he would harm you." Xia Rui nodded "I know." Qin Yao smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't understand, but Fu Qing always said you didn't know, so I thought I must explain it clearly to you, so as not to let you misunderstand." Xia Rui lowered her eyes: "Your official did not misunderstand."

Satisfied, Qin Yao took Xia Rui's hand, walked to the low table, picked up the white jade jug on the table, and poured a glass of wine for himself and Xia Rui: "In this case, I can rest assured, this It’s a grape brew from the Western Regions not long ago. I drank it last time. It’s refreshing, soft and sweet. It’s very good. I’m sure you’ll like it too. Let’s drink a few more cups today as if the dust has finally settled. Let’s celebrate. "Xia Rui arched his hands: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for fulfilling his wish, but I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with Your Majesty to my heart's content."

Qin Yao's hand paused: "Why?" "Tomorrow morning, the subordinate will return to his hometown. I asked for leave two days ago, and the official department has already approved it." Xia Rui's face was not very good-looking.Qin Yao also knew that Xia Rui and the Xia family had always had a rift, so he asked with a smile, "What are you doing at home?"

Xia Rui didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, and said straight: "Although ten years have passed, the lower officials will always collect his body."

The rum was still on the table, but the dishes were already cold. Qin Yao sat alone at the table, with his eyes downcast, unable to see clearly the expression on his face.Eunuch Gao stood aside with his head down, when he heard Qin Yao call him suddenly: "Gao Yan." "Your Majesty?" Eunuch Gao responded.Qin Yao sighed: "I don't know why, but I feel very sad." Eunuch Gao didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to shout again in a low voice: "Your Majesty."

Qin Yao stood up: "Let's go." Eunuch Gao asked: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?" "Go back to the palace." Qin Yao seemed very tired: "I don't want to see others anymore."

"You want to go back?" Fu Qingyan came to block the door early in the morning: "Are you sick?" Xia Rui didn't change his face: "You can also say these vulgar words now?" Fu Qingyan ignored his interruption: "You Is he really sick? Ten years have passed, he was thrown into a mass grave at that time, where do you go to find the corpse when you go back now?" Xia Rui took a breath and looked at Fu Qingyan expressionlessly: " What am I going to do, can you control it?"

Fu Qingyan was so angry that she punched Xia Rui in the face: "Are you out of your mind? Do you know what the Xia family has become now? The woman in the Xia family is looking forward to your return, so you can let her handle it when you go back?" ?”

Xia Rui was punched, but she was not annoyed, she turned her head to look at Fu Qingyan: "Did you know something?"

"Of course I know. That Qiutang, after giving some money, wants to tell you everything. You and your elder brother are not Mrs. Xia's sons at all! They were born by her sister, right?" Fu Qingyan grabbed Xia Rui's skirt: "So what are you going back for now? Revenge? For your mother? For your elder brother? For that man named Li Cheng? What do you want to do? Kill people and set fire?" Xia Rui pushed Fu Qingyan's hand away: "It has nothing to do with you."

Panting heavily, Fu Qingyan let go of Xia Rui's skirt: "Yes, what does this have to do with me? Even if you are dead, what does it have to do with me? A good living person doesn't know how to cherish in front of his eyes, so he just wants to go Thinking of someone who is already dead." Fu Qingyan seldom gets angry, counting from childhood to adulthood, he has only fought twice this time, both with Xia Rui. With a flick of his sleeves, he turned and left, the wind was blowing even his steps.

Xia Rui sighed. Originally, he really wanted to go back, to seek justice with that woman from the Xia family, and to collect Li Cheng's body, but after being yelled at by Fu Qingyan, he didn't know what to do. Even if he What can I do if I go back?Are you really going to kill and set fire?Li Cheng's body has long been covered by layers of people who died in vain in the past ten years. He is very afraid, not because he is afraid that he will not find it, but because he is afraid that even if he finds it, he will not be able to recognize him.

"What are you thinking?" Qin Yao's voice suddenly sounded, Xia Rui was startled, and looked up, it was indeed Qin Yao. "Why is Your Majesty here?" Xia Rui turned his head to look at the sundial in the yard, and found that the morning court was about to arrive in a quarter of an hour. Even if he rushed back to the palace immediately, he might not be able to catch up with the morning court. Now, why is Your Majesty here?" Qin Yao was still the same as before, with a very gentle smile: "There are more important things today, so I had to suffer from typhoid fever, I thought, maybe I should work harder one time?"

Xia Rui looked at him: "What?"

Qin Yao lowered his eyes: "Of course I know that I am not as good as the deceased, but I thought maybe I can try harder, at least the deceased has passed away and I am still here." Xia Rui Looking at him blankly, it seems that he still can't understand the meaning of his words: "What?"

The early morning wind blew past Qin Yao and Xia Rui. Xia Rui was still dressed in commoner clothes ready to leave. A long ribbon.Qin Yao didn't wear court clothes, nor did he wear an emperor's crown on his head. He just tied it with a purple brocade with dark patterns, and when the wind blows, it flutters with his hair, quite like a literati.

Qin Yao's face was a little red: "I mean, are you willing to stay? Just treat it as it is for me."

A trace of hesitation flashed through Xia Rui's eyes, and then he took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't tease the lower officials anymore." Qin Yao looked at him, and suddenly laughed, mixed with some inexplicable Bitter and lost, he lowered his head: "You never believe me."

Xia Rui paused for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Your Majesty favors me so much, but is it because of the ex-Court Tutor Song Mingyu?"

Qin Yao didn't seem to have expected that Xia Rui would ask, "Why do you think so?" Xia Rui twitched the corner of his mouth and replied, "Didn't His Majesty just treat the servant as Mr. Song that night?" Qin Yao Dazed, he stroked the jade pendant on his waist with his fingers and said: "At first, I mistook someone, so I wanted you to send me back to the palace. The Taifu treated me very well before, and I really miss him very much."

Xia Rui didn't interrupt him, and waited for him to continue.

Qin Yao continued intermittently: "But, after I went back to the bedroom that day, I knew you were not. The Taifu would never have such an expression. He has always been a gentle and easy gentleman." He seemed to think of Xia Rui That night he looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and there was some sarcasm in his smile. Song Mingyu would never smile like that. Even when he was seriously ill in the end, he still smiled very gently, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Xia Rui laughed inexplicably, obviously not believing Qin Yao's words.

Qin Yao couldn't do it either, so he had to think about it and said: "I like Tai Tuo very much, but it's not your personal relationship. I just admire him and rely on him. He is very gentle to everyone, even mine. Most of the emperor brothers also respect him very much, and a person who is so proud of the third emperor brother respectfully regards him as a teacher."

Xia Rui asked: "Is that so? I thought the empress was Taifu Song's daughter, that's why you married her as the empress."

Qin Yao opened his mouth, and then said: "Yincha is the only daughter of the Taifu. At the beginning, the brothers and brothers agreed that no matter who ascended to the throne, they would marry her as the queen and protect her for the rest of her life so that she would be safe forever. Tai Tu feels at ease, but I don't have any other feelings for her, and I'm afraid she has no personal feelings for me, but just regards me as her husband, the emperor of this country."

After finishing speaking with some stumbles, Qin Yao raised his eyes to look at Xia Rui, as if he was waiting for Xia Rui's decision.Xia Rui shook his head: "Your Majesty, let's go back earlier, I won't be returning home." Qin Yao's eyes had a little light: "Aren't you going back? But are you willing to stay?" Xia Rui exhaled lightly : "Your Majesty, your majesty has little talent and little learning, and has no real skills. I really can't afford your majesty's love. Your majesty should choose another love."

Qin Yao was taken aback: "You still don't believe me?"

Xia Rui lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and I'm just a commoner. I'm lucky to have His Majesty's favor. I really can't compare them. I can't afford Your Majesty's love." Qin Yao stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pull Xia Rui's sleeves, but finally stopped his hands: "What do you have to do to believe me?"

Xia Rui sighed: "I'm not a good man."
