you are my tomorrow

Chapter 18 When the flowers bloom, you can't see the leaves

Meng Qinghuan lived in the palace for the time being, and the result of his consultation with Han Qing was that—in fact, Han Qing's headache was not a serious problem, it was just caused by busy state affairs and lack of sleep, as long as he relaxed his mind and supplemented with medicinal food , adequate sleep and massage, you should feel better soon.

However, due to state affairs, it was impossible for Han Qing to relax completely. He could only follow Meng Qinghuan's method as much as possible. After half a month passed, although the effect was not great, Han Qing always felt that his headache was really improving.

After getting along with Meng Qinghuan, although this person has an incomparable arrogance, but if you get close to him, you can still feel that there is something inexplicable about him that attracts others, and maybe it is because you are the emperor. Meng Qinghuan's arrogance subsided a lot.

One day, Meng Qinghuan was giving Han Qing a relaxing head massage. He thought that Han Qing had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, so he carefully observed this person who was always at the highest point of the country while massaging.

The handsome nose stands proudly in the center of the face, the medium-sized mouth always makes careful decisions after careful consideration, when the eyes are opened, there is always a look that seems to see through the other person, and the soft forehead hair is softly attached to it. On the forehead, Han Qing who was asleep was calm and serene, and seemed to be more approachable, unlike when he was awake, he seemed to always frown.

Inadvertently, the corners of Meng Qinghuan's mouth curved upward.

"Have you seen enough?" Han Qing's sudden words startled Meng Qinghuan. While observing Han Qing, he didn't notice that the movements of his hands also slowed down. In fact, Han Qing really fell asleep just now. I woke up, but felt that the hand on my head had weakened.

"Damn the grassroots." Meng Qinghuan noticed his gaffe, and quickly strengthened his hand, and began to massage seriously.

"You don't need to call yourself 'Cao Min', you can call yourself 'Qing Huan', you don't have to stick to it." Han Qing didn't open his glasses, he wasn't angry, he just wanted to remind Meng Qinghuan.

"……Yes."

"Have you been in the palace for almost a month?"

"Yes."

"I think there is still some effect. After waiting for a month, you should stay and see."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will continue to work hard."

For a moment, Meng Qinghuan felt "that's great", even he didn't seem to notice it.

After waiting for the end of summer, waiting for autumn, waiting for my birthday, waiting for the first snow, and waiting for comet to write a sheet music, comet did not wait for Zhao Rongzhen to return, only in late autumn, waiting for Zhao Rongzhen A letter, the letter said that it might not be in time for his birthday. Although he knew that the other party was not really here to start the war, the other party seemed unwilling to admit his defeat. The exhausted tactics caused headaches for both Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei.

This war, which was not a real war, dragged on until mid-December. Comet heard that the war that had dragged on for more than four months was not over until Zhao Rongzhen killed the opponent's general named Ren Qiang with an arrow.

However, the first thing Comet waited for was not the news that Zhao Rongzhen was about to return, but the news that Wu Min, a civil servant, was going to marry his daughter Wu Lijun to Zhao Rongzhen. I heard that the Zhao family had already given the Wu family a betrothal gift, so they will get married when Zhao Rongzhen comes back. .

Hearing this news, Comet's heart seemed to sink into a bottomless pit like an abyss, his first reaction was - Zhao Rongzhen can't always come to accompany me.

Comet thinks that Zhao Rongzhen is always by his side, always by his side, even if he doesn't say anything, he still hopes that he is by his side, so that he won't feel deserted and lonely.Comet didn't know what kind of feeling it was.

He just wanted Zhao Rongzhen to be by his side forever and belong to him forever.

It's hard though.

Comet still hopes so.

Comet wants to know what Zhao Rongzhen said, if Zhao Rongzhen did not confirm everything, Comet would still find it hard to believe, but until the day before Zhao Rongzhen came back, Comet did not receive any explanation from Zhao Rongzhen.

"Comet, Rongzhen and the others may enter the city in the afternoon tomorrow, and I will hold a celebration banquet in the evening. You haven't celebrated your birthday anyway, so let's celebrate it together, okay?" In the evening, Han Qingxi came to comet with a smile on his face, but Comet just nodded in a low voice, as if he didn't seem particularly happy.

"Don't you want to see Rong Zhen? Don't you always come to me to inquire about him? Why does he have such an expression when he is coming back?" Han Qing looked at Comet strangely. Comet never had any news about Zhao Rongzhen before. He went to Han Qing to inquire, but Comet didn't show too much excitement, which confused Han Qing.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little tired." Comet poured another cup of tea for Han Qing, and then got up, "If the emperor holds a celebration banquet for General Zhao tomorrow, I will do it. Forget about my birthday banquet, but I will still bring it with me." The kids are playing the pipa... I'll take a rest first, and Zhongyi will send you back later." After speaking, Comet went back to the bedroom, leaving only Han Qing with a surprised expression on his face.

On the way Zhongyi sent Han Qing back, Han Qing still couldn't figure out why Comet had such a reaction.

"Is there anything unhappy about Comet recently?" Han Qing thought that after Zhongyi recovered from his injury, the work of the inner guard commander in the palace was still going on, but the intensity was much less. The Qing Palace was to stay at the place where Comet taught the children the pipa. Han Qing felt that Zhongyi should know what happened to Comet.

Zhongyi thinks about it, Comet should start to get bored when Zhao Rongzhen will get married after returning, and he is unwilling to talk and laugh. He thinks that the crux of Comet should be Zhao Rongzhen, but it is not easy to explain to Han Qing What.

"I... don't know, His Royal Highness Comet's heart is like an ocean, which cannot be easily penetrated by loyalty."

"You have been with Comet every day since you were a child, can't you guess him?" Han Qing glanced at Zhongyi, then smiled meaningfully.

"I don't dare to speculate on Your Highness's psychology."

Han Qing knew that Zhongyi must know something, but he just didn't say anything. He had been with Comet longer than himself, so he couldn't be ignorant of what Comet was thinking.

Afterwards, Han Qing didn't ask any more questions, until the gate of his own palace, Han Qing only talked about some innocuous topics.

"Go back. There will be a celebration banquet tomorrow night, and the safety of the palace will be left to you." Han Qing patted Zhongyi on the shoulder, and stepped into the opened gate. Meng Qinghuan was already waiting at the gate.

After watching the door close, Zhongyi turned around and walked back.

The moment the gate closed, snowflakes fell profusely from the dark blue sky. Meng Qinghuan opened the umbrella that had been prepared earlier and covered Han Qing's head.

"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold."

Han Qing looked sideways at Meng Qinghuan, who was bowing his head, and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, which even Han Qing himself didn't notice.

"Let's go." The two walked slowly towards Han Qing's bedroom. Han Qing found that Meng Qinghuan was almost holding the umbrella on his head, and Meng Qinghuan, who was dressed thinly, had most of his body outside the umbrella. I don't know how much snow fell.

So Han Qing took Meng Qinghuan's hand holding the umbrella, and pushed the umbrella towards Meng Qinghuan, "Your Majesty, there is no need..." Meng Qinghuan was flattered, and he wanted to push the umbrella back, but Han Qing's hand held it up stubbornly. Between the two of them, although the exposed shoulders of both of them had a little snow on them, there was much less snow on Meng Qinghuan's body.

the next day.

I don't know if it was because of the heavy snowfall the night before, but it has cleared up since the morning, and the snow on the ground is shining brightly. Zhao Rongzhen entered the capital with a mighty 5 elite soldiers. The scene of the people welcoming them back is the same as before , but Zhao Rongzhen's expression was not clear. With a new injury on his face, he was sullen, occasionally responding to the cheers of the people, and showing a slight official smile on his face.

Zhang Wei, who was always by his side, knew that Zhao Rongzhen was in a bad mood, so he greeted the people on the street instead of Zhao Rongzhen, and finally passed through the noisy market. Leading a group of more than a dozen subordinates rushed to the palace.

"Brother, since parents have agreed, why do you..."

"Don't you know it's called a political marriage? What if I don't win the battle? Will he marry his daughter to me?"

When he knew that his marriage had been fixed by his parents, Zhao Rongzhen didn't write any more letters to his family. The space in his heart was taken up by Comet, and he couldn't fit anyone else, so how could he accept that it was built for the sake of politics? marriage?

"You haven't seen that young lady before, so how do you know it's not good? Maybe you even fell in love with her..."

"impossible……"

Zhang Wei didn't speak anymore, Zhao Rongzhen exuded the message of "I'm very dangerous", if he continued, the two of them would definitely fight, Zhang Wei knew that no one could force Zhao Rongzhen to do something he didn't like, even if it was marriage Such a big deal.But Zhang Wei also knew that Zhao Rongzhen's more important reason for not wanting to get married should be another one—His Royal Highness Comet.

Han Qing had been waiting at the gate of the palace early, and when he saw Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei leading a group of people getting closer and closer, the smile on Han Qing's face became brighter and brighter, but Zhao Rongzhen couldn't smile at all. , I can only force myself to laugh.

When he approached Han Qing, Zhao Rongzhen led a group of people off the horse and bowed to Han Qing. Han Qing helped Zhao Rongzhen up and smiled with satisfaction, "Let's go, it's cold outside, let's go in." Han Qing put Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei together On the way, Zhao Rongzhen didn't see the red figure. When he was about to enter the palace, Zhao Rongzhen whispered in Han Qing's ear, "Why... didn't you see His Highness Comet?"

"He said to prepare with the children, and he will come later." In the morning, Comet asked Zhongyi to send a message to Han Qing about it, but Han Qing didn't care. It just snowed outside and the weather was cold, so he didn't let him A comet is coming.

But Zhao Rongzhen knew that Comet might be angry, because the news that he was going to get married had already spread into the palace.

After entering the palace, other civil and military officials were there. First of all, it was still Han Qing's congratulatory speech, but Zhao Rongzhen didn't have the heart to listen to it. He only hoped that the banquet would start quickly, so that Comet could come out sooner.

The lengthy speech finally came to an end. Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei sat next to Han Qing. On the dance floor under the lobby, there were laughter from ministers and performances of various instrumental bands. Zhao Rongzhen didn't care to appreciate it, because it was the most beautiful piano sound in the world. Only comets can play it.

"Rong Zhen, I heard that you are going to get married in a few days? Is it the daughter of the Wu family?" Han Qing recalled the news that General Zhao asked the housekeeper to bring him into the palace a while ago. Okay, but I can't show anything, just nodded silently, "When you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift." Han Qing still smiled heartlessly, and then toasted Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei , the fine nectar in the cup was bitter in Zhao Rongzhen's mouth, "What? We're getting married, aren't you happy? You were so sullen just now outside." Han Qing patted Zhao Rongzhen on the shoulder, Zhao Rongzhen looked at Han Qing, Just opened his mouth to say something, but Zhang Wei took the conversation away.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, my brother may be a little tired recently, so he doesn't seem to be energetic." Han Qing looked at Zhang Wei who seemed to be smiling with a different meaning, and then looked at Zhao Rongzhen's helpless face, not understanding the two brothers It's okay to play charades.

Han Qing straightened his back and asked the maid to pour another glass of wine. Meng Qinghuan, who had been standing beside him all the time, leaned into Meng Qinghuan's ear, "Your Majesty, drink less wine, your illness is not fully recovered yet."

Han Qing smiled, looked at Meng Qinghuan's nervous look, and shook his head lightly, "It's okay, I'm happy today, Rong Zhen won the battle, I'm happier than anyone else, let's have a drink today, it's okay. "

Seeing Han Qing's happy appearance, Meng Qinghuan couldn't say anything anymore, so he could only let Han Qing go.Meng Qinghuan looked at Zhao Rongzhen's tall and straight back. The general he met for the first time always gave people a different feeling. For some reason, when Meng Qinghuan looked at him, he always thought of Comet. The two seemed to have no intersection. How can it make people feel this way?

Meng Qinghuan didn't understand.

In fact, Comet has been hiding behind the pillar diagonally behind the dragon seat. Looking at the dull back of Zhao Rongzhen next to Han Qing, that person has been drinking one cup after another. It seems that he is not as happy as expected. Comet lowers his head and gently sighed.

Shouldn't people who have won a battle and are about to get married be very happy?Why do you look so lonely again...

Finally, in the last show, it was Comet and the children's turn. Zhao Rongzhen, who was already slightly drunk, stared at Comet surrounded by the children. He didn't know if he was drunk or what, that person seemed to have never looked at himself , but it seemed to be smiling slightly at himself, Zhao Rongzhen couldn't tell which one he saw was the real one.

Zhao Rongzhen involuntarily wanted to stand up, but his arm was held down by Zhang Wei, he looked at Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei frowned and shook his head gently, Zhao Rongzhen seemed to feel that he should not go down, so he had to give up.

When the song was over, Comet launched the band and hurried away with the piano, leaving only the children to continue playing on the dance floor.Zhao Rongzhen looked at the back of Comet walking out of the main gate of Hezheng Hall, and wanted to chase it out, but the ministers below seemed to have received orders, and they all came forward to toast Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei. Zhao Rongzhen couldn't go away for a while. When he walked away, Zhao Rongzhen realized that he was too drunk to stand up, and Zhang Wei, who was too drunk, fell asleep beside him. After the banquet, the ministers all left one after another, leaving only the huge Hall of Harmony Zhao Rongzhen, Zhang Wei, Han Qing, Meng Qinghuan and some maids in the house.

Zhongyi walked in from the gate of the palace and bowed to Han Qing, "Your Majesty, do you want me to send the two generals back?"

"Don't send it off. Both of us drank a lot of wine, and it's windy outside. It's not good if it blows too much." Meng Qinghuan helped the slightly drunk Han Qing to stand up slowly, "Your Majesty, why don't the two generals be in the palace today?" Stay here, or you might get sick on the way home." Meng Qinghuan turned to look at Han Qing, who nodded.

"I have no room here. Prepare a sedan chair for them and go back to the Ming and Qing Palaces with you. Comet and Rong Zhen are quite familiar anyway, so he won't mind." Han Qing raised Zhongyi's hand, Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, and could only agree. Meng Qinghuan was silently surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the two really knew each other.

"The emperor's sedan chair is ready, please go back first."

Meng Qinghuan put a cloak on Han Qing, helped Han Qing leave the Hall of Peace and Government, and Zhongyi ordered two sedan chairs to be prepared and carried Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei back to the Ming and Qing Palace.

When arriving at the Ming and Qing Palaces, Zhao Rongzhen also fell asleep unknowingly on the road, but kept chanting Comet’s name and saying sorry, but fortunately the voice was not loud, only Zhongyi who was next to him could hear it, otherwise Zhongyi I really want to cover Zhao Rongzhen's mouth.

However, for Zhao Rongzhen's apology, Zhongyi seems to understand something, but he doesn't understand, why does he keep saying sorry?Is there anything I'm sorry about Comet?

Loyalty can't figure it out.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Ming and Qing Palaces, Zhongyi sat Zhao Rongzhen on the sedan chair, then got off the sedan chair, went in and called a few people, Comet, who was still asleep, came out of the living room, and looked at the crowd in a bit of surprise. Di and Zhang Wei helped each other to the guest room.

"Your Highness isn't asleep yet?" Zhongyi saw Comet standing at the door of the living room, and greeted him.

"How did they come?"

"Mr. Meng said that they were drunk and the wind was bad, so the emperor asked them to stay in the palace and send them here." Zhongyi relayed the exact words.

Comet snorted coldly, "People who are about to get married, why send them to me? Leave Zhang Wei behind, and send General Zhao to the Wu Mansion." Comet entered the living room with a cold face, carrying Zhao Rongzhen was all in place, looking at Zhongyi at a loss, Zhongyi raised his hand, let them continue to carry into the house, and then entered the living room by himself.

"Is Your Highness angry about General Zhao's marriage?" Zhongyi sat next to Comet and found an extra flagon on the table. Comet seldom drank alcohol. There were two cups on the table, one of which was left The wine at the bottom of the cup was placed in front of Comet himself, and Comet already smelled a little alcoholic.

"Come have a drink with me." Comet put another empty glass in front of Zhongyi, Zhongyi touched the flagon, it was hot, Zhongyi first poured a glass for Comet, then poured himself a glass, the two clinked glasses, He drank it down without saying anything, and Zhongyi filled two glasses again, "Why am I angry? I should be happy." After a little silence, Comet said to himself, Zhongyi was stunned for a moment before responding Comet came over to answer his question just now, "But... I have known the news that he is going to get married for so long, but I just can't be happy, my chest seems to be blocked by something, it's so stuffy that I can't breathe, I laugh I can't come out..." Comet thumped his chest, Zhongyi watched as the eye circles of Comet who was looking at the wine glass gradually turned red, but did not shed a single tear.

Zhongyi recalled that Zhao Rongzhen had been saying "I'm sorry" just now, and Zhongyi felt that he understood most of it, and then he was surprised by his guess, but then he thought about the past of the two of them, and suddenly he was relieved, he really understood.

From the very beginning, Comet was different to Zhao Rongzhen, although Zhongyi knew that Comet was different to him, but this "different" is different.Loyalty looked at Comet complicatedly, but he had no way to comfort him, so he could only raise his wine glass. Comet raised his head, seeing the tenderness and a little heartache in Zhongyi's eyes, he could only smile pitifully, and raised his own wine glass, in mid-air, The two jade cups collided and made a crisp sound.

The two of them drank too many glasses, and by the time the two of them were so drunk that they collapsed on the couch, it was already late at night.

The panicked voice of a maid slowly woke up the two people who were lying on the couch in a daze, "Your Highness...Your Highness, General Zhao has woken up..."

"Let him go when he wakes up, there's nothing to shout about." Comet propped himself up, his head sinking as if he couldn't lift it up.

"No... no, he said he wanted to see you, and if he didn't see you... he would kill everyone in the Ming and Qing Palace..." The maid said tremblingly, and Comet and Zhongyi regained consciousness.
