Tread thousands of dust

Shu Qiyun leaned close to Ling Ziming's neck, sniffing her fragrance lightly: "Zi Ming, let me hug you for a while."

Ling Ziming stopped moving for a moment, and just sat on his lap, allowing him to hug her.

"Your Highness is tired."

Shu Qiyun closed her eyes and smiled softly, "Fortunately, you are here."

Ling Ziming's figure trembled slightly: "Then what if you are gone in the future?"

"No!" Shu Qiyun looked up at her fiercely, "I won't let you go!"

Ling Ziming caressed his face and said with a smile: "I know that during this period of time, some people have talked about me and you, saying that I have played a trick on you, that's why His Royal Highness fell in love with me."

"Haha." Shu Qiyun said with a light smile, "I'm afraid it's true, otherwise why do I still miss you for so many years?"

Ling Ziming held his hand and said softly: "Then if one day this Gu fails, will Your Highness still be like this?"

"I believe it won't fail one day." Shu Qiyun looked at his sweetheart with gentle eyes.

Ling Ziming squeezed his face: "Brother, he will leave the imperial city sooner or later, then I..."

"You can't go!" Shu Qiyun grabbed her hand, "I will protect you! I know those people are talking about you and me, but after this time I will go and tell my father! I must marry you !"

Ling Ziming lowered his head and kissed the corner of his lips lightly: "Your words are enough."

"Zi Ming..." Shu Qiyun immediately petrified, not even daring to move, the softness at that moment was enough to sink him.

Shu Qiyun only felt that his throat was dry, Ling Ziming noticed his change, and smiled lightly: "Will your Highness really protect me?"

Shu Qiyun's eyes were blurred, so he could only nod in confusion: "I will."

Ling Ziming possessed her body and gave another kiss.

Shu Qiyun was in a trance, picked her up and walked towards the back hall.

On the first day of October, the Winter Welcome Ceremony.

This is the most grand winter ceremony since Kaiyuan, and all civil and military officials attach great importance to it, and they all go to it with great kindness.

However, Ling Ziming still wouldn't tie Mo Fengyi's belt, and Mo Fengyi said in pain: "It's too tight! Loosen it!"

"Shut up!" Ling Ziming tied a knot in her hand, she really didn't understand why she couldn't tie it up obediently.

Mo Fengyi felt desperate: "Why do I have to suffer this kind of grievance when Xiao Ke is not here?"

Ling Ziming sighed: "You still have the nerve to say it! Why do you wear clothes that fit you so much? They were tailor-made half a month ago! Otherwise, why would the belt be so difficult to tie?"

Mo Fengyi muttered: "Who knows...you are forced to eat a lot every day..."

Xun Can just entered the door and laughed, "Why aren't you dressed yet?"

Ling Ziming's hands were tired, so he had no choice but to give up and said: "I don't care, you just leave it open, anyway those ladies are willing to watch."

Mo Feng was so angry that he patted her forehead: "Stinky girl!"

"Let me do it." Xun Can approached with a smile and took the belt.

Mo Fengyi stretched out his arms, Xun Can's wrist was around his waist, his fingers deftly straightened the folds of his clothes, and then fastened the belt.

Xun Can frowned dissatisfied: "Why do you feel that you have lost weight again?"

Ling Ziming smiled lightly and said: "Why else, eat salty radish every day and worry about it, I can't get fat even if I want to."

Mo Feng imagined going past Xun Can to beat her, but Xun Can hugged her by the waist: "Don't move around."

Mo Fengyi calmed down instantly, Ling Ziming stuck out his tongue at him and went out.

Mo Fengyi watched Xun Can tie his belt and said with a smile: "I still remember the first time you tied my belt."

"Well, Thunder Moon Festival." Xun Can said without raising his head.

Mo Fengyi curled his lips: "Your memory is so good."

"Of course." Xun Can's hand tightened, and Mo Fengyi instantly leaned against him, "I still remember that was the first time I hugged you."

Mo Feng's ears felt hot: "Okay, okay, tie it up and let's go."

Xun Can chuckled lightly, "Are you still shy?"

"Let's go!" Mo Fengyi's face was also hot, and he patted Xun Can's troublesome hand.

Xun Can smiled and pecked him on the face.

Mo Fengyi went out and got into the carriage. Pei Zhixu whispered beside him: "Leader, the arrangements have been made."

Mo Fengyi was still soaking in the cloud and mist in the honey pot, and this time he woke up, as if a bucket of ice water was poured on his head, and it cooled him completely, not to mention that the originally hot honey could only Being sticky and frozen to his body, Mo Fengyi began to feel uncomfortable all over.

Mo Fengyi's face instantly turned cold: "I know."

Pei Zhixu reminded again: "It's the time today, please don't miss the time."

Mo Fengyi nodded and said: "I'll go and ask the emperor for a leave of absence first, you are not allowed to cause chaos under the watchful eye."

"Yes."

Mo Fengyi helped his forehead helplessly: "Old Pei, do you think I'm so selfish?"

Pei Zhixu bowed his head and said calmly: "Subordinates dare not speak nonsense."

"Tch." Mo Fengyi sneered and stopped talking.

Standing on the top of the pavilion, Shu Hanxu asked Shu Qiyun with a smile: "Qi Yun, I am very satisfied with today's grand ceremony."

Shu Qiyun saluted and said: "Thank you for the compliment, father, it's what sons and servants should do to share the worries of father."

"Don't be self-effacing. It's been a long time since this winter ceremony was held. I'm so relieved that you can still do it according to the ancestral system." Shu Hanxu said with a gentle smile as he watched all the civil and military officials bow their heads and bow their heads.

"The emperor has not brought us out of the palace for a long time, and the concubine is very happy today." Jiang Lu chuckled lightly.

Shu Qiyun asked curiously: "Why is it that only the concubine mother accompanied Sheng Jia, didn't the empress empress also go out of the palace to go to the suburbs?"

Just as Jiang Lu was about to answer, Shu Hanxu answered first: "The empress is not feeling well, and I won't let her come out to blow when the wind is strong outside. She is in the palace."

Shu Qi agreed and said: "That's fine, today we are welcoming the winter to pray for the army going north, and we are also praying for the empress."

Shu Chenhua chuckled and replied: "My mother has been mentally tired recently, presumably because of the sudden cold in winter, but it is cool and refreshing outside, it is also good for the father to take the mother out of the palace, and the mother can also come out to breathe. "

Shu Hanxu smiled and said: "Isn't it because you want to come out to play and insist that your mother come out too?"

Shu Chenhua smiled brightly: "The minister is right, the queen mother looks very good today, and she was joking with the son just now!"

Shu Renlu stood beside them indifferently in military uniform, as if these had nothing to do with him.

Shu Hanxu was smiling happily when Mo Fengyi suddenly appeared in a puzzled manner.

Shu Hanxu tilted his head with a smile and said: "Feng Yi is here, come and have a look, the weather is fine today."

Mo Fengyi also smiled: "The emperor is really in a good mood today, it seems that the winter welcome ceremony organized by His Royal Highness is very suitable for the emperor."

"That's natural. It's almost noon before you pray and salute. You should be tired after coming out of the imperial city. You should also come and rest." Jiang Lu called him.

Mo Fengyi said helplessly: "I'm afraid I will disappoint the kindness of the imperial concubine and empress. I feel unwell when I got up early today. This building is another outlet. I'd better leave."

"Why isn't the wind and cold better?" Shu Hanxu looked up at him, "It's going to be winter now, you have to take good care of yourself."

Mo Fengyi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Shu Hanxu sighed: "Yi Lian used to be in poor health after the winter, and now the queen is also the same. Why do you look tall, but your inner foundation is not good?"

Jiang Lu said: "Why hasn't the emperor noticed it? Feng Yi is taller, but his body is actually thinner, and he only needs a cloak today."

Shu Hanxu just smiled: "It's worse if there is no caring person around here, and it's time for Fengyi to get married early, right?"

Jiang Lu responded: "What the emperor said is that Feng Yi and Qi Yun were the same age. It's a pity that these children don't worry about it, and neither of them plans to get married. Speaking of Feng Yi's marriage, we should also consider it. This child Parents are gone, so we elders should be more concerned."

Mo Feng watched them chatting further and further away, glanced at Shu Qiyun who was also helpless, and said directly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...I haven't thought about getting married yet..."

Jiang Lu snorted: "You haven't thought about it, you don't know what you're busy with every day, and you don't know how to pass a sign into the palace to see us."

Mo Fengyi was speechless, his words will never compare to this woman.

It was Shu Qiyun who was more sensible, and said: "Mother Concubine, we have a lot of things to do on weekdays, not to mention that there will be more trivial things in the next year, how can we go to the palace every day when we are free?"

"You guys just don't want to stay."

Mo Fengyi said again: "It is because of the busy business recently, so I am afraid that the ministers will not be able to participate in today's grand ceremony."

Shu Hanxu squinted at him and said directly: "Are you going back now?"

Mo Fengyi felt uncomfortable when he saw him, so he could only pretend to say: "Yes... I have something to deal with, and my body is really... cough cough..."

Shu Hanxu just laughed and said: "You can just hide away, I don't bother to care about you anymore, so do whatever you want."

Mo Fengyi immediately said cheerfully: "Then I will take my leave first."

Both Shu Hanxu and Jiang Lu were helpless, and they really couldn't control him.

Mo Fengyi turned around and turned his face, just in time to meet Shu Renlu's eyes, it was just in a hurry.

Mo Fengyi came down from the balcony, dodged all the officials, and rushed into a carriage.

Pei Zhixu had already been waiting, he whispered: "The leader is coming back so soon?"

"The emperor didn't say anything, and he agreed readily." Mo Fengyi frowned and said, "Let's go, we'll go back now."

"Has the leader really made up his mind?" Pei Zhixu worried, "Do you want to tell General Xun?"

Mo Fengyi was a little impatient: "I was only careful to avoid him. Anyway, he is busy today, so he probably can't take care of me."

Pei Zhixu only said: "This subordinate is worrying too much."

"Where are Zi Ming and Song Li?"

"Naturally stay in Linfeng Wanxuan." Pei Zhixu replied, "According to the leader's wishes, I didn't tell them."

Mo Fengyi said indifferently: "I'm going today because there is no one in the imperial city, only you and I know."

"My subordinate understands."

Mo Fengyi leaned back wearily: "Let's go, leave some people here to guard, I also feel unwell when asked."

"Yes."

The speed of the carriage was fairly fast, and it always came back before Si Shi.

The people inside had already been arranged, and Mo Fengyi entered the door smoothly.

The layout of this imperial mausoleum will not change for decades, Mo Fengyi looked at some old furnishings and dim lights, went straight to Princess Xiangyue's tablet and knelt down.

Mo Fengyi smiled lightly and said, "Mother, I'll come to see you. My son is unfilial and hasn't been able to come again these years, but my son knows that you are definitely reluctant to blame me."

Standing next to Shu Yilian's memorial tablet was an old maidservant. She looked older than ordinary elders. She must have guarded the imperial mausoleum for many years. After staying in this dark place for a long time, her body could not take it anymore. .

She kept staring at Mo Fengyi, her eyes were full of warmth and eagerness. Pei Zhixu looked at her calmly, but he didn't see anything from left to right.

"Aunt Peixuan." Mo Fengyi said softly, "Long time no see."

Peixuan was already old, and seeing that the child had grown into an adult, she knelt down excitedly and said, "My maidservant pays homage to Your Royal Highness!"

Mo Fengyi quickly helped her up: "Don't be so oblivious, I liked playing with you when I was young."

Peixuan burst into tears and said: "Since the young prince paid homage to the princess in the imperial mausoleum a few years ago, the servant has never seen His Highness again. He really has grown up again, and His Highness the Princess will be pleased."

Mo Feng smiled lightly and said, "Aunt Peixuan has been guarding my mother's mausoleum for ten years. I am very grateful to you."

"A servant has served the princess since childhood, this is what a servant should do." Pei Xuan slowly raised her head, looking at Mo Fengyi under the light, she felt that if he was not a man, he would definitely look exactly like the princess.

Mo Feng raised the corners of his lips: "Of course I know that Aunt Peixuan is very loyal to my mother. I am curious about something when I come here today, and I hope Auntie will tell you the truth."

"My servant also watched Your Highness grow up. Although this servant has no luck to see His Highness again these years, I still worry about it. Your Highness just ask." Peixuan calmed down.

"Aunt Peixuan has been here for a long time, I'm afraid she doesn't know much about the outside world." Mo Fengyi got up and stood upright, keeping his eyes on the tablet, "I haven't been in the imperial city for a long time, and I am not familiar with this place anymore. , I did not tell the emperor today, I came secretly, does aunt know why?"

Pei Xuan was a little puzzled: "It's only reasonable for His Highness to come down to offer sacrifices to the princess, and the emperor should be pleased. Why does His Highness have to come secretly?"

"Of course it's because I don't want the emperor to know that I'm coming." Mo Fengyi's voice was clear and clear in the empty hall.

Pei Xuan was still full of doubts: "Your Highness means...the emperor doesn't want you to come to pay homage to the princess?"

"Perhaps." Mo Fengyi's expression was bewildered, he only glanced at Pei Xuan before saying, "How dare I guess what the emperor means? Do you think so?"

"It's natural that the power of the sky is unpredictable, but if you haven't told His Majesty, it's better to go back earlier if you want to come." Pei Xuan looked a little nervous.

Mo Fengyi smiled lightly and said, "Why is aunt chasing me away? I haven't had a good talk with my mother yet."

Peixuan just said: "Yes...Your Highness, please help yourself."

"What's the matter, Aunt Peixuan? Didn't you just wonder why I came secretly? Why don't you ask now?"

Peixuan hurriedly said: "It's the servant girl who talks too much, and asks His Royal Highness to make amends."

"How could I blame you? You have been with my mother since she was a child. After she left, you still asked yourself to guard her mausoleum for the rest of your life. This affection even moved me." Mo Feng said strangely He said with a smile, the smile was gentle and graceful, no one would be moved.

"The princess treats her servants with as much kindness as a mountain, and it should be done." Pei Xuan said sincerely.

Mo Feng fixed his mind and said: "Then do you still remember which day my mother left?"

Peixuan sighed softly: "How dare these slaves forget that it was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of Yuanxu. It was snowing heavily and the weather was suddenly cold. The princess's old illness relapsed, and the imperial doctors were helpless."

Mo Fengyi said in a daze: "That's right...the third day of the twelfth lunar month is indeed very cold. But my mother's old illness has relapsed, so what exactly is her old illness?"

Pei Xuan suddenly said in a hurry: "Princess has not been in good health since she was a child, and she was prone to fever and cold. During that time, the weather was not right, and the son-in-law was away on errands, and the servants were not aware of the emergency, so the princess... "

Mo Fengyi said in a deep voice: "My father is not in the imperial city... what about me? Do you remember if I was in the imperial city at that time?"

"Uh..." Pei Xuan obviously couldn't speak clearly, "This...it's been a long time ago. At that time, His Highness should have left the imperial city with the son-in-law..."

"Really?" Mo Fengyi's voice turned cold in an instant, "You remember everything, everything about your condition is clear, but you only forgot about me, right?"

"This......"

"Aunt Peixuan, do you want to lie to me?"

Peixuan's expression was tangled, and even her figure trembled a little: "His Royal Highness...do you remember something? Didn't you forget it all?"

Mo Fengyi frowned: "What did you forget?"

"Back then, you did stay in the imperial city and did not travel with the concubine, and you were also with the princess...just..." Peixuan didn't know how to speak, hesitating just a few words over and over again. , Hang Chi wanting to speak or not.

Mo Fengyi said slowly: "Since I returned to the imperial city, I asked many people about the past, but they refused to tell me. Like you, they kept saying that my mother died of illness, but they kept silent about my whereabouts." Don't say anything, is there really something unspeakable? Or did you just treat me as a fool because I was really too young back then?"

Peixuan immediately knelt down and said in fear: "Slaves dare not!"

"Then why did you keep it from me? What did I forget?" Mo Feng said excitedly.

Pei Xuan lamented: "Your Highness has forgotten, why force yourself to remember?"

"You said that too..." Mo Fengyi looked forward in frustration, "But that's my memory, it's something that happened to me, why should I forget it?"

Pei Xuan burst into tears: "Your Highness! Both the princess and the son-in-law hope you are safe and healthy, so why bother with these things! The princess has passed away for more than ten years, and the son-in-law has also gone with her. Now you are the most important thing." !"

Mo Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked directly, "How did my mother die?"

Pei Xuan was startled: "What did Your Highness say?"

"Auntie still pretending to be stupid?" Mo Fengyi thought it was funny, "Didn't you say you were loyal to my mother just now? You have guarded the imperial tomb for her for more than ten years, don't you even know how she died?"

"Your Highness...Did Your Highness hear some gossip? Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness died of illness in Quanbeiyi..."

"Aunt Peixuan!" Mo Fengyi felt the anger of being deceived, "Are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"
