honey with flowers

【Gong Nine】

If you are sincere, you should keep your promise. It is not so surprising to think that Ximen Chuixue is willing to stay in Baihualou - no matter how great a swordsman he is, he is still a person with principles.

That day, the Battle of Zijin Mountain ended up being over for some unknown reason. Countless people sighed, but it seemed that there was no news of the two great swordsmen in the world. No one can investigate.

The son of the Southern Prince dispatched a large number of people from the mansion overtly and secretly, but no matter whether it was on Feixian Island, near the Zijin Mountain or in the Wanmei Villa, Ye Gucheng was never found. City Master Baiyun's entire body turned into air, disappearing without a trace.The palace was as anxious as boiling water, and even the chief eunuch Wang Zongguan personally sent someone to inquire, but the people in the Nanwang palace didn't know what to do——Jin Jiuling, who was a partner in the crime, was missing in the front. Without Ye Gucheng, the people of Nanwangfu could not even deal with a hidden guard beside the emperor.

During this period, I don't know how many blue and white flowers in the mansion were dropped by the prince of Nan Wang.

However, soon, for some reason, the Nanwang Mansion suddenly became quiet. It seemed to be the calm before the storm, and a more intense storm was brewing hidden in the dark—on the night of September [-]th, there was a wave of turmoil in the Palace of Yonghe. The sound of swords banging Jinming, dozens of bloodstains flowed down the white-gray steps from the entrance of the hall, a section of snow-white clothes hanging from the beams in the hall hangs over the heads of the people below, the man in white turned his face slightly, and wrapped his dark green hands in boredom. With a long whip, he said with a light smile, "My name is Gong Jiu."

The moon is as cool as water, and under the moonlight, people's faces are pale.

Under the light, the figures of the emperor and the son of the Southern Prince appeared. Both of them were dressed in dragon robes, and their appearance and stature were even more similar than those of the twins, but now their faces were equally pale.

Because the person in front of him is a lunatic.

A person with strong martial arts and brilliant strategies, but when the throne is at his fingertips, he suddenly finds it boring-it seems that there is nothing interesting to him in this world. "Now I don't want to kill anyone." Gong Jiu hooked his lips, raised his eyebrows and proposed a condition: "Whoever you two help me kill King Taiping, I will make the emperor. Is it fair?"

The emperor sneered - King Taiping was in charge of most of the troops on the frontier, unlike King Nan, if he really ordered to kill King Taiping, I'm afraid his country would be lost.Compared to the silent emperor, Prince Nan was much naive. He gritted his teeth with cold eyes and said bitterly: "Gong Jiu, why are you so crazy, we two are allies!"

"I never promised you anything." Gong Jiu narrowed her peach eyes slightly, showing a look of surprise, and said doubtfully, "I thought you knew it long ago."

Prince Nan was so angry that he couldn't speak, he just blushed. Without Ye Gucheng, he miraculously met an ally Ling Qiangli a few days later, but who would have thought that this ally's behavior was completely different from that of normal people? Similarly, the other party didn't care about winning or losing at all, instead some more novel thoughts popped up in his mind from time to time, making him miserable-but soon he was stabbed in the chest by a sharp sword again.

The jumping beam clown will always be the first one to be cannon fodder.

It was the hidden guard with a broken arm beside the emperor who started the attack. Gong Jiu was still sitting on the beam with a faint smile on his face, showing no reaction to the death of Prince Nan.

The emperor let out a long sigh: "You are a beautiful woman, how can I follow a thief?"

"En." Gong Jiu said seriously: "I just want to see if this imperial palace is really a copper wall and iron pillars, and if the usurper will really die."

"Then?"

"Then I found out—no matter how great the power and wealth are, they are really vulnerable. Like you, a person in a high position, no matter how indifferent on the surface, will panic when his life is threatened, and it is even ridiculous to try to use it. Use words to dissuade the enemy." Gong Jiu shook his head.

"I'm not a person, but an emperor. If I die, the world will be in chaos, so life is more important to me than anything else." The emperor said with a pale face: "There are many people in the Jianghu who look the same, such as those who have recently become famous. Lu Xiaofeng, and his friend Huamanlou..."

……

The days in Baihualou are as plain as water, but there are more depths and shallows of warmth.

Whether living in a place will be lonely never depends on how many people there can talk, but only depends on whether the minds and hearts of the people living there are harmonious and beautiful-for a couple, even just one action, It is convenient to guess what you are thinking.

Four months later, the weather has gradually become colder, and the dead branches on the attic are huddled and spread on the soil to protect the seeds under them. They are no longer green in summer, but the plum blossoms in the backyard are blooming. exuberant.

Xiaolongnv lived in the ancient tomb since she was a child, she was not afraid of the cold, but now that the cold is gone, she still can't let it go, and she is five months pregnant, so she came here from Baiyun City Because Aunt Wen and Mrs. Hua loved their daughter-in-law dearly, several midwives sent to wrap her in fluffy clothes all day long, she seemed to have lost a bit of cold temperament, but her small face was delicate and more beautiful. Much cuter.

——But in the end, it was because of the torture of pregnancy that she lost a lot of weight, and most people felt distressed when they saw it.

Although the little girl doesn't know what's wrong with her body, she always feels something vaguely when she sees the cautious expressions of the people around her, so she must obediently drink the decoction for dispelling cold and preventing miscarriage every day—— Even if everyone doesn't say it, honey can be added so carefully when boiling the medicine to cover up the bitterness of the soup.

She knew in her heart that this must be Huamanlou.

So every time she drank the medicine, the medicine juice in her mouth was full of astringency, but it was always sweet in her heart. Even if the medicine was really bad, there should be no leftover.

At the end of the year, we always have to go back to the big courtyard to celebrate the New Year.

Hua Manlou took his wife into the carriage, slowed down the journey, and arrived at Hua's house after a long time.When Mrs. Hua saw this pair of young children, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do—she told Hua Manlou how to take care of her wife, and couldn't help touching her daughter-in-law's swollen belly. Xiao Longnv immediately conjured up a descendant doll for her.

In the evening, fireworks began to be set off outside, which was much more beautiful than during the Lantern Festival. Xiao Longnv's delicate sweater was covered with a soft fur collar, and she looked warm. She was sitting in Huamanlou's arms, She stared intently at the fireworks in mid-air, and suddenly her eyebrows moved, as if she felt something, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles: "Qitong, our children also want to watch fireworks."

As soon as the words finished, the little girl pulled Hua Manlou's hand around her arm, lifted a corner of the mask, and put his hand in to cover her raised belly. The baby in her stomach seemed to feel it. He kicked at the warm place outside, with moderate strength, and there was a little raised arc that looked like a little foot, but the father-to-be was stunned. The small arc happened to be in the palm of his hand. of--

Hua Manlou bent down and listened to the baby's heartbeat, and whispered softly: "She must want to come out soon to see what mother is like."

——Mother is working harder and harder, so the baby must behave better.

Hua Manlou said in his heart, and gently touched the baby's restless little feet.
