Empress and Empress

Xia Zimo looked at the information in his hands, and Yuan Dong stood behind her and refilled her tea.After watching for a while and seeing Yuan Xingye not coming back, Xia Zimo was a little surprised. Yuan Xingye was usually with her at this time, so why didn't he come back today.Thinking of this, I can't help feeling a little impetuous.

Xia Zimo lay facelessly on the table. Yuan Xingye was not around, so she had no energy to do anything.Yuan Dong was a little strange behind him, and it was the first time he had seen Lord Supervisor sitting in such an airless posture.

While thinking, Yuan Xingye walked into the tent, dressed in a black wide-sleeved dress, with a little bit of moisture on his body.Seeing Xia Zimo lying on his stomach with a bored face, it was a little strange and a little funny, walked up to her, held her hand and smiled and said, "There is a temple fair today, do you want to go and see it?"

temple fair?Xia Zimo's eyes lit up instantly.She has never been to a temple fair, and she accompanied her mother even when she went to the temple in Chang'an.Nodding happily, Yuan Xingye took the umbrella from the soldier and said flatly, "Don't follow." After speaking, he took Xia Zimo's hand and left.Yuan Dong and several soldiers were left to look at each other.

The army is stationed in Youzhou City, so except for the soldiers who guard the city every day, everyone else has time to rest after drills.Many sergeants also went to the temple fair together.

It was still early, the two of them had dinner at the restaurant, and then followed the crowd to the temple fair.On the road, I saw many women dressed neatly, with shy faces.There are all kinds of delicate lanterns in his hand.While laughing, he looked at the passing soldiers.

Xia Zimo smiled and said, "It seems that your soldiers are being missed."

Yuan Xingye didn't care, "I'd like it if you like it. It's a good thing if there is a happy event." There were a lot of people on the road, and Yuan Xingye held an umbrella in one hand and held her hand in the other to prevent her from being pushed away.Because there were so many people, no one paid attention to them.

The two walked slowly, and Xia Zimo stopped by to look at the roadside stalls. Many passers-by ate some roadside snacks while walking.Many children held their parents' hands and yelled in surprise.A hint of envy flashed in Xia Zimo's eyes. Although she grew up in the prime minister's mansion, it can be said that she was rich and honored all her life, but she has never felt what ordinary people have.

But looking at Yuan Xingye who was holding her hand, she had something that no one else had, and she was the best in the world.

"What are you thinking?" Yuan Xingye asked.Xia Zimo shook his head.Suddenly, a candied haws appeared in front of her eyes.

Xia Zimo blinked, and it was indeed a candied haws.

Yuan Xingye laughed out loud, Xia Zimo's blinking expression just now was really funny. "It looks delicious, do you want to try it?" Xia Zimo took it in a daze. It's not that she hasn't eaten it before, but the previous ones were all made at home or sent from the palace.

After one bite, it is not as delicious as I have eaten before, but the sweet and sour taste is also very good. "Do you want to try it?" Xia Zimo asked.Yuan Xingye lowered his head, ate one from Xia Zimo's hand, and said, "It's a bit sour. Do you want to buy another one?"

"Hawthorns are always sour." Xia Zimo said with a smile, "Let's move on and see if there are any other interesting things."

Yuan Xingye let Xia Zimo pull him to trot forward. No matter how smart and stable Xia Zimo was on weekdays, he was still just a young girl.Sometimes her maturity made Yuan Xingye forget her age.

After walking all the way, Yuan Xingye had a lot of things in his hands, such as snacks, and some weird trinkets.Because I want to hold Xia Zimo, I put everything in my left hand, and hold the umbrella with my left hand.But because of practicing martial arts all year round, I don't feel heavy.

"Hoshino, look at this---" Xia Zimo took her hand and exclaimed.There was an old man on the side of the road, who was kneading dough, surrounded by a group of children.Xia Zimo also surrounded him.

Yuan Xingye smiled, and said to the old man, "Please make two doughnuts for the two of us." He let go of Xia Zimo's hand and handed over the money.The old man looked at the two of them, his hands moved quickly, and he quickly pinched it and handed it to Yuan Xingye.

Xia Zimo took two doughnuts and couldn't put them down, pointed at Yuan Xingye's doughnut and said, "This is Xiaoye." Then he pointed to his own doughnut, "This is Xiaomo." Yuan Xingye just looked at her and smiled, without saying a word .Xia Zimo looked around, "There is someone selling lanterns ahead, how about we sell two too?"

After saying that, Xia Zimo ran over, and Yuan Xingye also walked over behind.

There is a stall selling lanterns not far from the noodle stall. A man and a woman seem to be husband and wife.Many boys and girls are selling lanterns.Xia Zimo looked at it, the lantern was not exquisite, but she didn't care.After choosing two carefully, Yuan Xingye paid for them.

At this time, I heard someone from the side say, "This is my lantern, can we exchange it?"

Xia Zimo turned his head and saw a man wearing a goose-yellow jacket, holding an exquisitely painted blue and white umbrella in one hand, and holding a blue and white lantern also painted in the other hand.The lantern in her hand is much more delicate than the one Xia Zimo bought.At this time, the woman looked at Yuan Xingye and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yuan Xingye was puzzled, and neither was Xia Zimo.Seeing her silence, the girl just smiled, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to be friends with you."

Xia Zimo on the side squinted his eyes, Yuan Xingye could clearly feel Xia Zimo's resentment, and felt amused.Just as he was about to speak, he heard a man say, "May I have the honor to change the lamp with Miss?"

Turning his head, it was a man dressed as a scholar talking to Xia Zimo.Xia Zimo was stunned, and the man continued, "Would I be lucky enough to know Miss's name?"

Yuan Xingye narrowed his eyes, ignoring the girl in front of him, walked over to pull Xia Zimo, and looked at the man in front of him.The man saw Yuan Xingye just now. Although Yuan Xingye was very beautiful, his aura made people shy away from him.Compared with Xia Zimo, who was smiling and talking, he was of course more difficult to get close to.

Looking at Yuan Xingye's gaze, the man was at a loss. "I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to get to know this girl."

The four of them have attracted the attention of many people, and many people stayed because of Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo.After all, such a beautiful person is rare.The lady proprietress who sold the lamp saw it, and said with a smile, "The two girls are from other places, right? There is a rule in the temple fair in Youzhou. If a man and woman are not engaged, they should hold a lantern and see someone they like. Swap with her. It means wanting to be friends."

Yuan Xingye looked at the lantern in his hand, and Xia Zimo frowned.Although women have to wear their hair in a bun after they get married, both of them didn't wear it because of their public positions. They just simply tied it up, and with the lantern in their hands, it's no wonder that someone came up to answer the question.

The face of the girl who was talking to Yuan Xingye had already turned crimson. Although Yuan Xingye was a woman, her every move made her palpitate inexplicably.So I came up boldly, without thinking about anything else, just thinking about being friends.In fact, it couldn't help but be her, and many other girls looked at Yuan Xingye.

Generally speaking, many people will exchange lanterns with each other, because there is no deeper meaning, just agreeing to be friends with each other.It is also a platform for young people to communicate with each other.

I don't know when the rain stopped. Yuan Xingye closed the umbrella, took the lantern from Xia Zimo's hand, and handed it to the onlookers.

"Sorry, we're already married," Yuan Xingye said.Pulling Xia Zimo away quickly.The girl just stepped forward and couldn't help but ask, "What's your name, please?"

Yuan Xingye didn't speak, and Xia Zimo didn't look back.

The sentence just now can be understood as two people are already engaged to each other, but can it also be understood as two people are engaged to each other?Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Zimo's mouth curled up. Although he didn't know when he would be able to tell the world openly, it was good to be able to do so.

The girl was still a little unwilling to give up, and just wanted to catch up again.

"Young master, why are you here?" Shen Bing said.

Yuan Xingye looked at Shen Bing in front of him. Beside Shen Bing was Pei Shiyuan who was a little shocked.Pei Shiyuan looked at the hands held together by the two, and then turned to the girl who was following them.

Although Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo were known to everyone in Youzhou City, not many people knew what they looked like. Shen Bing and the others were not called Marshal when they came out, but Young Master or Miss.

"Stop the people behind." Yuan Xingye walked past Shen Bing and said softly.Shen Bing agreed and reached out to stop the girl. "Hey, I just want to ask her name?" The girl jumped.

Shen Bing looked at the girl coldly. The girl wanted to pass him, but she didn't.There were tears in anxious eyes.Pointing at Shen Bing, he said angrily, "Why are you like this? I don't care, I must know who he is. If you don't tell me, I will follow you."

Pei Shiyuan was a little surprised. Most people would be frightened by the chill all over Shen Bing when they saw Shen Bing, but they didn't expect this girl to be not afraid.

Naturally, Shen Bing wouldn't bother with a little girl, seeing that Yuan Xingye left without a trace, he turned around and was about to leave.Unexpectedly, the girl grabbed his sleeve, "Don't leave." Shen Bing's eyes turned cold, but he didn't move.Although he is known as the god of killing, he doesn't kill everyone.For a little girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken, he can only be helpless.

"Let go." Shen Bing said.The girl refused to let go, "No, I just want to be friends with her. If you don't tell me, I will follow you."

Pei Shiyuan was originally watching the show from the sidelines, so he naturally knew that Shen Bing would not do anything to this girl, so he was not worried.But it seemed that something was wrong with him.

Although Yuan Xingye looked beautiful, he was indeed very attractive to girls.It's not unusual to be around Yuan Xingye, but it's not unusual to be around Shen Bing.Shen Bing was dressed in white, and when he walked on the road holding an umbrella, he looked like a young man traveling in the south of the Yangtze River.Along the way, it also attracted many men and women.

But basically they were scared away by Shen Bing's eyes, and they were able to persist for such a long time, but they still refused to leave---the only one so far.

Could it be that he was really attracted by Yuan Xingye, or?

Pei Shiyuan looked at the girl's eyes, the girl's eyes on Yuan Xingye just now really didn't have any more meaning, did she look at Shen Bing at this time---

Pei Shiyuan stepped forward and gave him a gentle support.The girl only felt her hands loosen, and she didn't know why the hand holding the sleeve let go.Pei Shiyuan smiled and said, "Since people don't want to talk, why bother to ask? Or is there another reason?"

The girl was at a loss for words, Pei Shiyuan smiled, and pulled Shen Bing away.The girl didn't dare to go forward. Although the man in white just now looked like no one should enter, there was no malice in his eyes.It was the gentle-looking man who had the displeasure and anger that flashed in his eyes just now.

"It's the first time I've seen someone who dares to pester you." Pei Shiyuan laughed. "You didn't push her away." He didn't like Shen Bing's attitude towards the girl a bit.

Shen Bing was helpless, "I can't do anything with such a person." You can't hit, you can't scold.

Pei Shiyuan was displeased, "Then if there is a woman pestering you to marry her like this, will you give in?" He couldn't say why he was unhappy, probably because he felt that he was closest to Shen Bing.But the reason is only because no one around Shen Bing is willing to pester him.

If there is such a stalker, then the situation may be different.

Shen Bing laughed, "Are you angry?"

"No, why should I be angry?" Pei Shiyuan walked forward, and Shen Bing followed.

Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo walked for a while, and many people came forward to chat along the way.The two were helpless, so Yuan Xingye had no choice but to take Xia Zimo to walk from the roof. Although he couldn't visit the stalls on the street, it still had a special flavor.

"General Pei is angry," Xia Zimo said.Yuan Xingye looked down, Pei Shiyuan was walking forward, and Shen Bing was following behind.She also laughed and said, "It's rare to see Shen Bing pampering someone like this."

"Speaking of which, General Shen treated General Pei really well." Xia Zimo took out a snack from Yuan Xingye, opened it and took out a piece.He took a bite by himself and fed the rest to Yuan Xingye. "Aren't you going to take care of it?"

Yuan Xingye smiled and said, "Let them think about their relationship issues. I heard that there will be fireworks in the temple today, let's go and see!" After speaking, he hugged Xia Zimo and left.

In the prefect's mansion, Tweety was about to rest, but she was not on the night shift today.Concubine Xian brought a lot of court ladies, and she was much more relaxed than in the palace.There was a knock on the door, and Tweety felt a little strange. Whoever knocked on the door turned out to be Yuan Dong who opened the door.

Yuan Dong also changed into casual clothes, with his hair tied up high.There is a faint smile on the delicate face. "There is a temple fair in Youzhou today, do you want to go see it?"

Cui'er was startled, if someone saw her going out with Yuan Dong, the concubine Xian would definitely not let her go, but she was lying if she said she didn't want to go.After thinking about it, "Wait for me for a while, I'll change clothes." Back in the room, she found a pink gauze dress that she had already made but had never worn.

I looked around, but couldn't find a suitable hairpin.Concubine Xian is not generous in taking people with her, even a court lady like Cui Er doesn't have any good things around her.Fearing that Yuan Dong would be in a hurry, Cui'er had no choice but to leave the house in a hurry.

Yuan Dong did not take her through the gate, but used lightness kung fu to leave from the roof.

After Yuan Dong left, the door to the side room also opened, and Yuan Xi looked at the direction where Yuan Dong disappeared with a sigh.Cheng Mumu, who was packing his bags, wondered, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Xi shook her head, "I have a friend who usually looks indifferent, but is actually a very gentle person. If someone likes her, even if she doesn't like that person, she will treat that person very well."

"But isn't that too much? If you are nice to that person, if you fall in love with someone else in the future, won't that person be very sad?" Cheng Mumu said, "If you can't always be nice to others, then it's better to be indifferent from the beginning."

Yuan Xi smiled, "But my friend is so gentle that even if she doesn't like that person, she will stay with her until the other person doesn't like her."

Cheng Mumu was a little puzzled, "Why stay with the other party if you don't like it, maybe you will fall in love with him after a long time!" Yuan Xi stepped forward and patted her on the head, "That's right, hurry up and pack your clothes! We are going to the capital tomorrow Yes." Cheng Mumu nodded obediently, and then suddenly asked, "Sister Yuan Xi, have you ever liked someone?"

"Why do you ask that?" Yuan Xi wondered.Cheng Mumu shook his head, "I just think you can't find a man who matches you well, and it's not very pleasing to look at when you stand together." Yuan Xi patted her head amusedly, "What do children know?"

Cheng Mumu said angrily, "I'm not having a child, my mother said I'll be married in a few years."

"Yes, after you get married, I will also give you a red envelope." Yuan Xi smiled.Cheng Mumu looked at Yuan Xi, and said in his heart, "Sister Yuan Xi is also a gentle person when you say that other people are gentle."

Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye arrived not far from where the fireworks were set off. There were already many people in the open space. Many men and women gathered together, chatting and laughing.

The two found a secluded place, Yuan Xingye took out the snacks and a pot of wine he had just bought, and the two sat on the floor.Xia Zimo suddenly remembered that when they first entered the palace, the two were drinking in the palace.

At that time, Yuan Xingye was still an eagle in a cage, and the two of them were not familiar with each other, but they were unexpectedly able to reveal their hearts.But she is a person who doesn't care much about anything.

"What are you thinking?" Yuan Xingye offered her a glass of wine.Xia Zimo said with a smile, "Once the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world. I couldn't understand it before, but now I can understand it."

When the breeze blew, the long hair of both of them raised slightly. Yuan Xingye drank a glass of wine suddenly, and then pulled Xia Zimodu to her. There was no sound at the moment, but the sound was louder.

Pei Shiyuan and Shen Bing also walked to a relatively remote place, they didn't prepare anything, they just sat on the ground, waiting for the fireworks.

"Didn't you ask me just now, if someone pesters me, I will give in?" Shen Bing said suddenly.Pei Shiyuan closed his eyes and snorted after a while.

Then I heard Shen Bing say, "Although I am helpless when others pester me, I don't like it. For the person I like, I will pester him. Instead of waiting for him to pester me."

Pei Shiyuan was taken aback, then got up and looked at Shen Bing for a long time. "When did you, General Shen, pester others?"

Shen Bing opened his mouth, "Of course I did, for example---"

"boom"

The fireworks flew into the sky, and Shen Bing's voice disappeared into the fireworks. Shen Bing turned to look at the fireworks. Pei Shiyuan thought he would say something else, but Shen Bing didn't speak again.

Tweety looked at the fireworks and clapped her hands happily, "It's so beautiful!" Yuan Dong squinted and smiled, "It's really good." She reached out and took out a hairpin from her bosom. I didn't pay attention to buy it.Pass it to Tweety.

"For you." Yuan Dong said.Cui'er looked at the jade hairpin in Yuan Dong's hand, with a big pink pearl hanging from it.She has been with Concubine Xian for a long time, so she naturally knows that this is worth a lot.Yuan Dongsai said to her, "It's okay, my salary is not low. Usually there are many rewards in the army."

Tweety hesitated for a moment, Yuan Dong took it from her hand and stuck it in her hair. "Quite good looking."

A firework flew into the sky, and Tweety felt her heart explode. "By the way, what's your real name? You can't really be called Cui Er?" Yuan Dong asked.

"Fengling, Xu Fengling."

"Then I'll call you Feng Ling from now on, the name sounds nice." Yuan Dong laughed.

Xia Zimo leaned in Yuan Xingye's arms, watching the fireworks not far away.Behind him are the two small faces, Ono and Xiaomo, clinging to each other.Fireworks fly into the sky one by one, reflected in people's eyes.

Maybe many, many years later, people can still think of this time, the people who accompany them, and their current mood.

In the barracks, Luo Yan and Yuan Bei and Yuan Nan looked at each other, relatively speechless.

"These people only care about talking about love." Luo Yan said angrily.Yuan Bei looked at Yuan Nan and whispered, "Why don't we go too!"
