Return to the rumor

The post station, here is only three days away from Jizhou Xindu.

There was no need to rush home, so Tang Ci and his party took a carriage instead.Yu Xiaoyu is only a seven-year-old child. She has never traveled far, let alone to the north. It is very different from the beautiful green mountains and green waters in the south. The majestic and unrestrained mountains made her curious, and she lay open by the car window during the day. The big eyes look left and right, and the mouth never stops asking questions that are weird or not suitable for age, and occasionally make some harmless little jokes. Sleeping soundly in Rou Ke's warm arms, under the supervision of half of the teacher Tangci, they never stopped learning to read and write. The three of them laughed and laughed like a family along the way.

The closer you are to the capital, the colder the weather will be, and your body will definitely not be able to bear the toil of the wind and dust, so today I rested at the post station.

Hearing the sound of the door, Tang Ci, who was lying on the bed, looked sideways, with a bright smile in the corner of his eyes, patted the bed, and called out in a warm voice: "Ah Wei, come here."

Her hairpin has been removed long ago, and the black hair is flowing obliquely, the color of ink is reflected on the snow-white coat, the dark red candle is flickering, her skin is like jade, the corner of her mouth is smiling, her posture is natural and comfortable, and the surroundings are intertwined to give birth to some soul-stirring beauty Yan.

There are charcoal basins in the four corners of the house, the charcoal provided by the post station is certainly not comparable to the red charcoal in the palace, and I don't care whether the charcoal will disappear quickly, the charcoal fire must be well lit, otherwise it will be smoky and uncomfortable.

After Rou Ke entered the room, she first opened the two windows with wooden strips to let in a few strands of cool night wind, which at least dispelled the dullness.

"When did you get so afraid of the cold?" Rou Ke approached the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Seeing her coming, Tang Ci moved in, lifted the quilt with one hand——

"You know I've never been afraid of the cold since I was a child, look at how little I wear." She pointed to her collar, then bent her eyes and smiled, "But you are very afraid of the cold, and your hands and feet are much colder than ordinary people , when it was the hot summer day when I was a child, I always loved to cling to you, hugging you to sleep at night is more comfortable than ice cubes."

The half of the bed that Tang Ci left for her had already been warmed by her. Rou Ke took off her outer shirt, took off her shoes and socks, and lay down on the gentle couch beside her. You can clearly hear each other's snorting, and everything goes back to more than ten years ago, as if going back in time and space. At that time, they often lived together, in early spring, midsummer, late autumn, and late winter. Always holding a small soft hand, never let go, never let go, and the owner of that little hand is always joked by the palace people as a child who can't grow up, running with his sister all day, like a sticky little insect.

Now, that kid—grows up.

Rou Ke turned around, lay on her side, and stretched out a hand, wanting to check whether the bed under her was too cold, but at the same time, she also stretched out her hand to hold her hand, gently Wrap the ground in the palm of your hand, bring it to your mouth, take a few mouthfuls of hot air, rub it, blink your eyes lightly, and said with a smile: "It's really cold."

Looking down from her delicate face, there is a white and straight jade neck, and then down, climbing up along the soft sleeves, are slender white fingers.Rou Ke also smiled, and used the other hand to send the quilt to her, and then carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her, moving her body a little closer, the fabrics of the two were close, one was a little colder, the other Slightly hot, at the moment of skin-to-skin contact, it flows deeply along the texture, warming the bottom of my heart.

Surrounded by the woman's scent of saponins after bathing and grooming, Tang Ci rubbed her palms to warm her, and at the same time leaned his head towards her, buried her neck, sniffed gently, and said, "Ah Wei smells so good."

Her hair seemed to rub against the sensitive skin of her neck, and it was a little itchy. Rou Ke shrank back unconsciously, and said with a helpless smile: "This place is not as good as Jingli, I just washed it casually." Washing, how can it be so fragrant? Besides, didn’t you just take a bath?”

Tang Ci leaned on her chest, his eyes were crescents with a smile: "To me, Ah Wei is the most refreshing vanilla."

Rou Ke smiled and said nothing, but the smile was already overflowing on her face.

After a while, Tang Ci asked, "Is Xiao Yu asleep?"

Rou Ke nodded and joked to her, "Xiao Yu is much more well-behaved than you were when you were a child, you don't even need to coax her, after washing up, you can quietly climb onto the bed to sleep."

"Hey, I only hear newcomers laughing and old ones crying. Now you don't want to go to me." Tang Ci sighed, very sad and lonely.

Rou Ke pinched her nose and scolded with a smile: "How can you go wrong? The whole heart belongs to you alone."

Tang Ci suddenly held her wrist, kissed her delicate and soft palm covered with palm prints, raised her head slightly, her eyebrows and eyes curved: "Are they all mine? I have to put a mark everywhere to make it real" .”

The earlobe was stained a little crimson, Rou Ke hurriedly pulled out her hand, coughed lightly, and said: "Don't make trouble tonight, you have to hurry tomorrow."

"Who wants to make a fuss? Oh——" Tang Ci prolonged his tone, nodded as if he had realized something, and put his hand on her belly calmly, rubbing it lightly, "Food sex—sex also , Ah Wei didn’t have enough to eat tonight?”

Rou Ke's face turned red, she pushed her restless hand away with all her might, turned over to the other side, lowered her head and feigned anger, and said, "Say more, I won't talk to you tonight."

Tang Ci leaned over quickly, looked at her with his head, propped one hand on the edge of the bed, and covered his mouth tightly with the other, looking very funny.

"Be careful not to fall—" Rou Ke glanced at her, her tone was a little serious, and her eyes were a little colder.

Tangci had no choice but to bow her head and hang her head down, carefully wrapping her arms around her slender waist, looking for something else to say: "Ah Wei, I'm thinking, it's really lonely for a little girl in Rongyue to stay at home alone, Xiao Yu It's just right to go, and the two of them have a companion, just like you and me. When I was a child, I heard my mother say that before I was born, you were always alone and no one to talk to."

The sneaky hand moved an inch further down the waist and abdomen, itching slightly——

Rou Ke mercilessly took one of her fingers and threw it aside, and said coldly: "After you were born, the roots of your ears are not clean."

"Where is it unclean? Let me see for you!" Tang Ci said, and leaned into Rou Ke's ear, very anxious.

Rou Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she pushed her face away gently, but changed her tone: "Be good, it's late at night, get some rest."

Knowing that she is weak, she has worked tirelessly to patrol and inspect with me since the disaster relief, and it is a luck that she is not yet sick.

Tangci was obedient now, lying peacefully beside her, took her hand and held it tightly, just like that, he felt at ease.

He raised his head again, moved the soft pillows for the two of them more comfortably, then calmed down, and said to Rou Ke in a gentle tone: "The teacher sent a handwritten letter from Beijing."

"What's the matter?" Since the disaster relief, Qin Yan hasn't had much contact with the two of them, and purely regards this errand as an experience for Tang Ci, let's see how capable she is.

"The emperor has recently favored a maid in the palace who is good at singing and dancing. It is said that her demeanor is somewhat similar to that of my mother's empress."

Hearing this, Rou Ke's eyebrows were raised high, she was extremely surprised: "Favorite? Could it be brought into the harem?"

Since the death of Concubine Zhenshu, the emperor has not drafted concubines again, and the huge harem actually only lives in King Lu's mother—Concubine Zhou. This move is truly shocking.

Tangci showed hesitation, paused and said: "This, the teacher didn't mention it, but I think there is a record at the female officer of Tongshi, so it will be sooner or later to accept the concubine."

"For no reason, there was such a person, not to mention, but he easily walked in front of the imperial court and got into the eyes of the emperor, and he still looked like Aunt Yici? It was exactly what the emperor wanted. A king should always bury his preferences in his heart , Don't let people easily guess and take advantage of it, but it's a pity... what kind of thoughts the emperor has in the matter of love has been made known to the world more than ten years ago. The prince is not like his father, he is really kind and upright, even if Long Yan was offended by the fight You shouldn't be in a hurry to get angry, it shouldn't be him, and the rest—" After careful analysis, Rou Ke looked at Tang Ci.

"It's either Han Ru, or King Lu. The two of you are working together, but you and I have long been separated." Tang Ci shook his head, "Forget it, let's talk about these trivial matters after we go to Beijing."

"Ah Wei, I have gained a lot from the trip to Liangzhou."

Rou Ke smiled: "I know, Xu Qian has agreed to come out to help you. After this year, when the government office opened the seal, he entrusted his old friends in the court to recommend to the emperor. In recent years, the border war has been tense again, so I don’t think I’ll let the previous suspicions matter and make him give in.”

"This is the second." After Tang Ci said this, he was silent for a long while. Thousands of inexplicable emotions flowed through his pair of black eyes, and he said after a long time, "In the past, I only wanted to find him for revenge. It would be good to drag him down from the throne and cut him to pieces. But when we arrived in Liangzhou, aside from Cao Zhen, who would kill himself for many unrighteous deeds, the chief envoy, the commanding envoy, and the inspector envoy, the three The department is in good order, and there are many good officials who serve the people wholeheartedly. Among them, many gray-haired old men are old ministers in the Kangle period. It is the current Holy Majesty who is praised, and no one thinks about ten years ago. I always have an illusion that everyone and everything are moving forward and looking forward, but I am the only one who stops at the same place and keeps looking back."

He laughed at himself and said, "Even though I don't want to admit it, the facts are right in front of my eyes. He is indeed not bad as an emperor."

"Ah Yue..." Rou Ke raised her hand and touched her head, her eyes filled with distress, "When my uncle was alive, he loved his people and worried about government affairs no less than him. It's just that you should know that the people only care about food and clothing. They don’t care who governs and rules. Spring grows and summer grows, autumn harvests and winter hides, the sun and the moon are full. There is no fixed thing but there is a way to follow. No one can live in the past forever, but no one can easily forget hatred. You are not standing still, you just have too many things in your heart that you can't let go of - aunt, tranquility, revenge, home country, the world...these things are all on your shoulders, making you breathless. I Sometimes I really want to be selfish and only consider for you, so as not to put you in danger."

"Yes, my father is a wise king." Rou Ke stroked her head, feeling very comfortable. She couldn't help closing her eyes contentedly, and said slowly, "On my sixth birthday, I met Drought, many people starved to death on the streets, and the food harvest failed. He frowned all day long and ordered the withdrawal of my birthday banquet. I don't care. I used my temper to overthrow the food table during the meal, and wasted a table of exquisite dishes. He loves me so much on weekdays, and he is reluctant to say a word, but because of this, he became furious and dragged me to Fengxian Hall Knelt all night."

"He is not good at words, and it also prevents me from not being a man who cannot inherit the great line. He never preached to me. However, Liangzhou's trip made me somewhat understand what it means to put more emphasis on the people than on the society. The younger brother of the crown prince is no longer alive. Only An Ning and I are the only children under Father's knees, if you want to take revenge and if you can succeed, pull him down from the throne, no matter if I or An Ning replaces you, you should remember it in your heart, so that Father's soul in heaven can be comforted."
