After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

It has been in prosperity for seven years, and it is the season of grain rain.

The drizzle in Bianjing was light, and every household in Beijing worshiped Cangjie and enjoyed peonies on this day.

On this day, the emperor Gu Xiu also brought his clansmen, civil and military, who were in the middle of the capital, and headed to the Northern Wilderness in full gear to hold the Spring Hunting Ceremony, which had been suspended for several years since the death of the late emperor.

Since it was Gu Xiu's first spring hunting since he became the throne, more clansmen followed him this time than when the late emperor was there. Everyone wanted to see what the former land of Qianlong looked like now. .

Prince Yucheng needless to say, the food in Beihuang was planted one by one by his parents and sons, which is worthy of the merit of the temple in the famine year.So he tried his best to take the whole family to see it. After a few years, he will be able to meet his ancestors with a face full of glory.

For the entrustment of Mrs. Hui Ning before the king left Beijing, Princess Qingzhao's family of five, including the little princess Gu Xican, who is under three years old, all set off with her.In Prince Ning Yi's mansion, everyone was present except for Jin's concubine who stayed in Beijing to take care of her infant son Yu Han.In middle age, Ning Wang Gu You, who has been a magistrate, has not changed his childhood bastard temper after all, but because of his bastard temper, there is no longer a wealthy clan in Beijing who dares to cause trouble at will. .

The little queen of the Baekje Kingdom also came with Yuheng, Prince Ning's son, and their wedding date is set for August this year. Right now, the internal affairs of the Baekje Kingdom have been handed over to the Governor's Mansion under the jurisdiction of Da Zhou. Governance, accompanied by the royal family of Silla.

After Cheng and Cheng get married, the Son of Heaven will give Yuheng the title of County King and ask him to establish his own family, and the position of Prince Ning Yi will be transferred to his younger brother Yu Qing.

After Yuqing's marriage was finalized, Concubine Jin's mind also became active, and she discussed with Princess Qingzhao whether to choose two gentle and dignified girls for the grown-up little prince Yucheng to serve in the East Palace.

***

Twelve days later, Emperor Shengjia arrived in Beihuang.

After getting off the carriage, Gu Xiu was startled by the scene in front of him.

The northern wilderness stretches for hundreds of miles, and unknown trees grow on the snow-covered barren mountains all the year round. In late spring, the mountains are full of greenery.A few thin grass buds also sprouted on the hard and thick soil under the feet, and a few small red and pink flowers swayed sporadically among the grass buds.

According to Gu Jian's introduction, those trees were transported from other regions by the sea post road. They are resistant to drought and cold, have an extremely fast growth cycle, and are loose and resistant to burning. They are most suitable as daily fuel in the Northern Wilderness.

In the open space in the distance, in addition to the soldiers who set up barracks for the accompanying clan members, there were also officials from the household department who arrived here early in the morning to divide the homestead.After the emperor visited this place, the Ministry of Industry sent people here to build houses for the people who were about to move.

The barracks hadn't been built yet, and the accompanying clansmen also got out of their carriages and gathered together in twos and threes to enjoy the scenery and laugh.

Prince Yucheng and Gu Chao and his wife went down with the support of their children, and they couldn't wait to see the farmland planted by the eldest son himself.The little prince Yucheng took Meng Xu, an official of the East Palace who had just been promoted to the fourth rank, and several younger brothers, including Yuqing, to choose the horses to ride and the bows and arrows to be used for hunting tomorrow. I can open a hard bow with one stone up and down.

Yu Hengze, who was about to get married, held his fiancée's hand, and said something happily, which made the cheeks of the little queen married from Xinluoyuan flushed.Zhuo Xun Zhuo Sheng, the two young masters scrambled to play the windmill with their younger sister on their backs.

Princess Qingzhao looked at the children running and playing lovingly, and the son-in-law Zhuoying behind her picked up a small scarlet flower and stuck it on Gu Jin's temple.

Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou saw the scene where the son-in-law made hairpins for the princess, and she was envious. When she turned her head, her husband, King Ning, was holding a bunch of wild flowers that he got from nowhere and was about to stick them all on her head. Xu Jingrou quickly turned her head to dodge, but Gu You was relentless, chasing after her was not at all like an old couple who have been together for more than ten years.

Gu Xiu stood with his hands behind his back and looked around at the bustling surroundings. Some halos flickered in his calm eyes.In his mind, the windy and sandy spring day in the northern wilderness has never been so gentle.

"His Majesty."

Gu Xiu, who was stupefied, turned his head in response, and a handsome and tall figure was reflected in the blurred halo in front of his eyes.The visitor was wearing silver-white light armor, holding a high-headed war horse in one hand. The silver armor glowed with dazzling phosphorescence under the dazzling spring sun. He can't see anything anymore.

Han Mo was so beautiful when he was born, and he was as amazed as the completely new Beihuang.

"What is Your Majesty doing here?" Han Mochu walked up to Gu Xiu, gently stroking his moist lower eyelids with his fingertips.

"I'm just looking at Eldest Sister and the others." Gu Xiu came back to his senses in time, the halo in front of his eyes was wiped away, and everything around him became clear.

"It will take a while before the camp is set up. Don't you want to release Dongyang first, Your Majesty?" Han Mochu handed the reins of one of the horses to Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu nodded, turned over and stepped onto Dongyang's horse.

Dongyang, who was born in the same year as Gu Xiu, is already very old. Although he has been carefully raised for many years, he has not faltered, but his physical strength is far inferior to those young and vigorous horses. , Dongyang planed his hooves instinctively, and firmly supported his master on his back.

Just like this, the two monarchs and ministers wandered freely in the mountains of Beihuang, and the old Ma Dongyang, who knew the way unknowingly, led the two of them to the small wooden house where the Yun family lived when they were relegated.

"Zi Ran, look!" Gu Xiu pointed at the low wooden house in surprise, and quickly walked up to it.

Those black-painted roofs, the felt and animal skins on the wooden walls, and those dilapidated stone knives and stone mills still stand there quietly, still maintaining the appearance before Gu Xiu left when he was young.

He hasn't been back for more than 20 years, and the entire Northern Wilderness has changed into a look he can't recognize, only here has not changed, only here has not changed at all.

Gu Xiu got off his horse, ran to the wooden house in a hurry, reached out and stroked the wooden fence in front of the house, suddenly he realized something, and turned around.

I saw that Han Mochu behind him had already tied the two horses in the stable on the side of the wooden house, and walked towards him with a smile: "I think, Your Majesty will want to stay here for another night, so let's go early in the morning." Send people to repair all these wooden houses. The ministers of the clan have already made arrangements, and someone will bring the dinner when the time comes. Tonight, the ministers will be here to accompany His Majesty."

Gu Xiu turned around, wrapped Han Mochu in his arms and pursed his lips, "Zi Ran, why can you always guess what I'm thinking?"

Han Mochu always does what he wants to do for him without saying a word, just like when he went out for the first time many years ago, Han Mochu came here alone through the snow and sent the For winter supplies, he did not hesitate to punish Han Mochu heavily in public in order to silence Youyou. They were not in love at that time, but they were so sympathetic to each other.

"I have taught His Majesty for so many years, how could I not know what His Majesty is thinking?" Han Mochu put his palm on the back of Gu Xiu's head and gently ran along his hair: "Okay, okay, hurry up Go in, is it possible that His Majesty is so big that he still needs to be hugged before he is willing to leave?"

Gu Xiu raised his head from Han Mochu's shoulders, and walked briskly into the wooden house.

The wooden house has long been cleaned spotlessly. The empty big house maintains the appearance of General Yunhui's life in the past. There are almost no furnishings, except for a large iron pot hanging from the ceiling. The soil tank below is used for burning fire. There are more than a dozen animal skins neatly stacked, horn bows, a bag of feathered arrows, and a windproof lamp hanging on the wall.

After Gu Xiu approached the room, he lit the torch very naturally, lit the windproof lamp for lighting, and then brought animal skins from the corner, and opened the smaller leopard skins one by one Lay it flat on the ground as a bed, and the larger bear skins and white tiger skins are fluffed up and half rolled up as a quilt: "Zi Ran, sit next to him, although the days in the Northern Wilderness are warm in spring, the setting sun is cold. It's going to be cold."

"Is this the wolf's den that His Majesty built for the minister?" Han Mochu sat cross-legged on the bed made by Gu Xiu, stroking the dense needle hair of the animal hide on his knees, and laughed softly.

"Wolf dens are not like this." Gu Xiu didn't hear the joke in Han Mochu's tone, and was still busy holding firewood and boiling water: "Zi Ran was born in Guangling Mansion when he was young, so he probably never saw a real wolf den. ?”

"Why haven't I seen a real wolf den? Isn't there the biggest wolf den in Bianjing? I live there every day." Han Mochu smiled unabashedly when he saw Gu Xiu buried his head in the fire come out.

"Where is there a wolf den in Bianjing City? There haven't been wolves in the beast garden for several years, how could Ziran..." The moment the firewood was lit, the wolf cub, belatedly, finally recognized Seeing the meaning in the man's words, he pressed on the man in an instant like a hunting beast, clasped the man's wrist with both hands, and asked coldly: "You little fox who doesn't want to die, who do you think is a wolf?"

"Whoever intends to eat people in this room is a wolf." Han Mochu turned his head away with a soft snort, the corners of his mouth raised high: "Is there any need for people to talk about it?"

Then, a story happened in the log cabin in Beihuang.

A wolf cub who had been hungry for three days and three nights caught a cunning little fox. The wolf cub said: "I want to eat you, and I will eat you now."

The little fox said: "You can only eat one meal after peeling and deboning. I will teach you a way to eat me dry every day."

After about two or three hours, the sky completely darkened.

Yuan Bao, the head of internal supervision, brought dinner to the couple according to Han Mochu's instructions before leaving. The spring night in the northern wilderness is similar to the midwinter season in Beijing. The emperor Gu Xiu walked out of the hut wearing a black soft fur He came out and took the food boxes from the little eunuchs, but Taifu Han, who was supposed to pick up the food boxes, was nowhere to be seen.

The little eunuchs didn't dare to ask more questions, and retreated quite tactfully.

Gu Xiu carried the food box into the warm room, and took off the soft fur that was used to keep out the cold, revealing his angular muscles, and the emperor's unique dragon-patterned robe was casually thrown on the ground: "Zi Ran, Do you want something to eat?"

Inside the wooden house, Han Mochu's hair was half loose, leaning against the wall of the wooden house with his arms propped up, his whole body was dyed red from excitement, his collarbone was bitten bruises, and there were several purple tooth marks on his shoulders and back. The wide white tiger skin is draped over the legs, covering the important parts below the waistline.

Seeing Gu Xiu come back, he lazily raised his eyelids, and said softly: "I'm not in the mood right now, let's eat later."

"Then, I'll wait any longer." Gu Xiu put down the food box, got into the huge white tiger skin with the cold outside, and leaned against Han Mochu.

"Wolf cub, haven't you tormented enough?" Han Mochu lightly coughed, turned his head and directly pressed Gu Xiu's forehead: "Didn't you finish everything you owed you when you caught a cold last time?"

Gu Xiu opened his eyes and looked at the man who approached him proactively, and unceremoniously leaned his forehead on the man's chest: "Master, it's cold."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Han Mochu lost his temper completely after being called out by the master, so he could only lean over and pull the bigger bear skin to cover Gu Xiu's back: "Your Majesty is warm now." more?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiu rested his pillow on Han Mochu's chest, obediently like a wolfhound loyal to his master: "Ziran, tell me, will my mother see that I bullied you just now?"

"General Yunhui has spirit in the sky, so he won't bother His Majesty with these things." Han Mochu laughed angrily at Gu Xiu's words: "I don't have the energy to teach Your Majesty right now, if Your Majesty doesn't want to wait for my Majesty to settle the score, then Then he relied on the minister obediently."

"Zi Ran, how about I take you to the place where I buried my treasure with Dongyang when I was a child tomorrow?"

"Okay, as long as your Majesty agrees." Han Mochu patted Gu Xiu's back lightly, originally intending to put him to sleep and then dress himself neatly.

Who would have thought that instead of putting the wolf cub to sleep, he fell asleep first.

The author has something to say:

Let me mention, Master and Gu Mengmeng did not do this kind of thing after Gu Mengmeng caught a cold, but only when they have done enough of the things that should be done that day, do more to pay back , so Gu Mengmeng and Master did it four times that day.
