walk to the water

The two of them went out of the imperial study room and first went to the main entrance of the palace. Looking in from the palace gate, the palaces and palaces were majestic and towering, with a neat layout, gilt roofs, white jade steps, and golden dragons, tigers, unicorns, etc. carved everywhere on the pillars and shadow walls. The divine beasts are grand and magnificent, and they are different from the exquisite and small architectural style in the south of the Yangtze River, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.Walking along the central axis, Fu Ling personally introduced them one by one in detail, and there was no lack of complacency in his words.Chu Xiang also praised: "Your Majesty's palace is luxurious and magnificent, and the weather is really different!" But he secretly memorized the layout and roads in the palace.

After several front halls, and then into the harem, the decoration of the palace gradually became more and more exquisite.Chu Xiang knew that this was the concubine's residence, so he didn't want to stay, so he hurried through it. At the end was the imperial garden. It was winter, and the flowers and plants were withered, and the scenery was barren. There were only bare branches left on the tall trees. , There is also a thin layer of ice in the pool.Fu Ling said: "This garden is too small. It's just for the concubines to take a walk and enjoy the flowers. I seldom come here." There is a three-story viewing pavilion on the side of the garden. Next, after drinking some tea, Fu Ling suddenly asked: "Xiang, what is your favorite place in this palace?"

Chu Xiang was thinking about what he saw in the imperial study, and he casually replied: "The study." Hearing Fu Ling's chuckle, Chu Xiang felt weak and dared not say any more.

Fu Ling asked again: "Study? Interesting, Xiang, do you want to sit in my bedroom?"

Chu Xiang heard his ambiguity, and shook his head quickly: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so it is inconvenient for Chu Xiang to disturb you."

Fu Ling smiled maliciously: "That's fine, the concubines in the palace, I always announce them to accompany me in the bedroom, Xiang'er, naturally I will accompany you."

Chu Xiang was so ashamed that he was speechless, Fu Ling ordered someone to bring the dinner upstairs, had dinner with him, and then went back to Liyuan with him.

Since then, Fu Ling spent more time in Liyuan. Although he didn't spend the night at Chu Xiang's place every day, he would come to see him whenever he was free, talk to Chu Xiang, play chess, have a meal, and pay tribute everywhere. The rare items are also rewarded to him like flowing water.Chu Xiang pushed the boat along the way and dealt with him, but Fu Ling's infatuation with him became increasingly infatuated with him.

Seeing that Chu Xiang is very gracious, Li Yuan's servants are even more attentive.Chu Xiang suffers from not having the opportunity to communicate with Fu Ming again.Finally, taking advantage of Fu Ling's absence on this day, Chu Xiang had time to go to Layman Jingshan again.As soon as he entered the underground secret room, Fu Ming was indeed waiting for him. Seeing him coming in, he grabbed his hand and said, "Xiang, I haven't seen you for another seventeen days. I count my days on my fingers every day. I want to kill me." Already!"

Chu Xiang pretended to be surprised and asked: "Ming, how do you know I'm coming today?"

Fu Ming said: "I'm also going to tell you that recently I bought a guard from Liyuan. Before you go out, I got a message from him, so I'll know. Hurry up and come here to wait for you. In the future, he will help you We pass on news. His surname is Wang, you should know him. If you want to see me in the future, you can tell him in private, I will make arrangements early, and I will keep in touch with you through him."

As soon as Chu Xiang thought about it, the guards he had seen in Li Yuan flashed through his mind. Knowing who he was talking about, he said happily, "That would be great!"

Fu Ming smiled triumphantly, took him into his arms, and said: "Xiang, I know that this is wronging you, these are expedient measures, if you bear with it for a while, the future will be long, and we will be able to be together legitimately in the future."

Chu Xiang sighed softly, and said: "Ming, I naturally believe in you, but day by day, month by month, when will I wait? Moreover, Fu Ling is suspicious by nature, and I live in fear every day, fearing that he will find out Clues. People say that a day is like a year, but mine is like a decade or a hundred years!"

Fu Ming stopped talking, and sighed slightly, held Chu Xiang's face in his hands, and kissed it deeply, and after kissing for a long time, Fang reluctantly let go of him, saying: "Xiang, do you think I don't want to? My heart is more anxious than yours, and I wish I could just hug you like this day and night... For you, for myself, and for our future, it's just that this matter is of great importance and we need to wait until the time is right."

Chu Xiang wanted to urge Fu Ming to do it as soon as possible, leaning on his shoulder, and said: "Ming, every time he hugs me, I treat him as you to be able to bear it. I often dream of you at night, dreaming that we are together, During the day, he was in a state of insanity. If this continues, he will soon find out..." When it came to the emotion, Chu Xiang's eyelashes were filled with tears, and he couldn't speak properly because of his sobs.Seeing him so affectionate, Fu Ming was greatly moved and felt pity for him. He held him in his arms and caressed him carefully.The two were lingering again, Chu Xiang was in love with each other, and Fu Ming was in ecstasy.

Just when the two of them were like paint and glue, and were inseparable, suddenly there were three heavy thumps from the top of their heads.Hearing the noise, Fu Ming changed his face immediately, and quickly pushed Chu Xiang away, "Xiang, it's not good, Layman Jingshan sent a signal, Brother Huang is here!"

"Ah?!" Chu Xiang was also taken aback when he heard the words. He stood up quickly, jumped up from the bed, grabbed his clothes and put them on in a hurry, thinking to himself that he had never asked questions when he came to play chess so many times. What happened today?Didn't he say that he wanted to discuss matters with the officials, and he didn't even go to Li Yuan, so he came out boldly, why did he suddenly attack and find this place?Has the matter been brought to light?Thinking of Fu Ling's usual words and deeds, Chu Xiang felt drenched in cold sweat, his plan had not yet succeeded, if he was caught in bed like this, the consequences would be unimaginable? !

However, Fu Ming comforted him and said: "Don't be afraid, I said last time that there are our eyes outside. Just now when Layman Jingshan sent the news, Brother Huang should be more than ten miles away from here! You pack up before going out, In time."

Chu Xiang quickly put on his clothes and tidied his hair, and then he calmed down a little. Before he could talk to Fu Mingduo, he walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, took a deep breath, and turned the mechanism.When I got out of the burrow, I saw that it was snowing like goose feathers outside!Although there is no snow on the ground yet, the pine branches in the courtyard are covered with pure white snowflakes, wrapped in silver makeup, which looks extraordinarily quiet.Chu Xiang hurried into the house, seeing that Fu Ling hadn't come yet, the layman Jingshan was setting up the brazier, put two cups of fragrant tea on it, set up a chess game in front of the window, and gave Chu Xiang a nod .Chu Xiang understood, and sat opposite the layman Jingshan in front of the chessboard. He just picked up a chess piece and was meditating. Look!"

Chu Xiang secretly said, "It's dangerous!"The two stood up quickly, and Fu Ling was coming in from the door, wearing a dark blue leather robe and a lotus-blue crane cloak, all covered with snowflakes.Chu Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is here? I heard that His Majesty is busy with state affairs today, why do you have time to watch me play chess?"
