To survive [Quick Transmigration]

"Tao Shizi, the palace is here."

Sitting on Shenjun's unusual maroon horse is a tall and straight man with a handsome face. He is dressed in brocade clothes and wears a black scabbard Tang knife on his waist. There is a hint of arrogance between his brows. Moshang Merry Young Lang.

Hearing the words of the attendants beside him, the gentleman, that is, Tao Hongji, the eldest son of Tang Guogong, immediately reined in his horse.Looking at the palace gate in front of him, his expression softened a little for a while.

"This is Chun." Before Tao Hongji finished speaking, he quickly realized what was wrong, and changed his words, "Is this the palace where Princess Yuan Jing lives?"

"Yes." Although the attendant didn't understand why Tao Shizi suddenly mentioned Princess Yuan Jing, he still replied respectfully, "Princess Yuan Jing has been weak since she was a child, and she has lived in the palace to recuperate since ten years ago."

This attendant was originally a person close to the governor of Jiangnan, and his understanding of Jiangnan was far better than that of people in the capital.The provincial governor sent him to meet Tao Hongji and the others in order to allow the attendants to answer questions raised by nobles from Kyoto.

"Weak since childhood" Tao Hongji heard these four words, but the little lady who stood in front of him during the hunt ten years ago and bravely fought the black bear appeared in his mind.How could such cousin Chun be "weak"?

Ten years ago, when he was still young, he asked A Niang where his cousin Chun was, and A Niang kept her mouth shut so that he gradually gave up his intention of asking.But now, he is no longer the young and incompetent child he used to be, maybe he can help Cousin Chun a little bit?

I just don't know if Cousin Chun still remembers him since I haven't seen him for ten years.

When Tao Hongji thought of this, his mood suddenly fell.

He told himself that it was normal even if Cousin Chun forgot about him, after all, the other party was only six years old when they separated, and even himself, his impression of Cousin Chun had gradually become blurred in ten years.But in the end, he was still a little apprehensive, and Tao Hongji was afraid to step into the palace for a while.

"Huh—" Tao Hongji let out a long breath, suppressing the slight uneasiness in his heart, "Go in!"

Among the group of people who went ahead, Tao Hongji could be regarded as the person in charge.As soon as he gave an order, the servant immediately dismounted and went to knock on the door.The Xinggong had already known that Tao Hongji and the others were coming, and someone had been waiting at the door for the past few days, and the door was quickly opened for them.

The beautiful maidservant greeted everyone, and led them towards the palace where they lived.

On the way, when passing a long bridge leading to a small island in the middle of the lake, the maid paused for a while, and said: "The Yingshui Chengming Island surrounded by water in the lake is the residence of Princess Yuan Jing, gentlemen, please avoid this place. , so as not to collide with the princess."

Tao Hongji remembered that he used to go to the palace to play with his cousin Chun from time to time, but now he couldn't even see each other, so there was no need to collide.Just when he was thinking about how to meet Chun's cousin, a man came from a distance on the long bridge carved with white marble.

The man was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, but a tall and strong figure. He should be a guard by his appearance.The maid obviously knew this man, and she called him "Ji Langjun" and asked him what was the matter.

"Princess's order." Ji Langjun simply replied, his eyes sized up Tao Hongji and his party, then fell on Tao Hongji, and asked, "This gentleman, is Tao Shizi of Tang Guogong's mansion?" ?”

Tao Hongji had heard him say it was "the princess's order" before, and he quietly had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that maybe Cousin Chun ordered someone to come to him, so he responded a little eagerly: "Exactly, but is there something wrong with Princess Yuanjing? "

That Ji Langjun looked at Tao Hongji for a while with a look that he didn't know how to describe, but it was definitely not kind, as if he was evaluating him: "His Royal Highness invites Tao Shizi to go to reflect the water and clarify the light."

Hearing what Ji Langjun said, Tao Hongji's original apprehension and uneasiness were instantly calmed down, and he immediately bowed his hands to everyone who was traveling with him: "Masters, Hongji excuse me now!"

No one among the gentlemen who was traveling with him dared to stop him, and Tao Hongji's background was already the most noble one among this group of people, not to mention, Princess Yuan Jing was the one who called him over.

Although the empress was deposed ten years ago, Princess Yuan Jing also left the palace to live in the south of the Yangtze River.But in the past ten years, His Majesty has sent several ships of treasures to the Jiangnan Palace from time to time, all of which were rewarded to Princess Yuan Jing, which shows that Princess Yuan Jing's family is still quite deep.

"Tao Shizi came to the palace for the first time, so he is not very familiar with the route." The maid said, "Mr. Ji Lang remembers to send Tao Shizi to Qingfeng Yicui."

Mr. Ji Lang agreed without further delay, and led Tao Hongji towards the other side of the long bridge.

The bridge is so long that it seems to have no end.Every time Tao Hongji took a step, he felt as if he had passed through the long time of missing ten years.But this is just Tao Hongji's illusion. No matter how long the bridge is, it will eventually end at the moment.

At the end of the bridge, there stood a tall, graceful and graceful girl - her long hair like splashed ink was loosely pulled up and combed into a bun in a bun; Under the jacket, there is a skirt with pines and cypresses and green cloud patterns; there is no gold and jade, and it looks very simple and elegant.

"Princess." Ji Langjun stopped, and greeted the girl respectfully.Only then did Tao Hongji recover from the trance he had seen for the first time—maybe it wasn’t the first time he saw her—and tried hard to distinguish the shadow of ten years ago from the girl’s heroic eyebrows and eyes.

But Tao Hongji couldn't remember clearly what his cousin Chun looked like ten years ago, and it was even more impossible to tell what "shadow of ten years ago" was from the girl's face.It seemed that because of the completely unfamiliar appearance of the other party, he suddenly felt a little cautious: "I have seen Princess Yuan Jing."

But he also bowed to the girl just like Ji Langjun did.

The tall and graceful girl, needless to say, is Mo Zhaoyuan.He sent someone to invite Tao Hongji to come over this time, but it was actually just a whim.

As for talking about "reminiscing about the past", he almost forgot about it.The only remaining impression of Tao Hongji is that he fought a black bear to save Tao Hongji who was in distress ten years ago, which uncontrollably led to the subsequent exposure of his identity like a prairie fire, which finally led to the current situation. .

I don’t remember, or not, but on the surface, Mo Zhaoyuan at least looked like he was reunited after a long absence. He showed Tao Hongji a smile that wasn’t too big, a little alienated and a little nostalgic: “Brother Hongji, long time no see. .”

It was obviously with an attitude of alienation, but it made Tao Hongji feel at ease. If he came up with Cousin Chun who was so intimate and intimate as if there was no such thing as ten years of separation, he would probably be even more nervous.

"Cousin Chun." He looked at Mo Zhaoyuan, and always felt that he had a thousand words to say before meeting again, but when he really met, he couldn't say a word.Tao Hongji stood there blankly for a while, his ears turned slightly red, and forced out a sentence, "You are in good health".

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tao Hongji felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he thought before that "cousin Chun was weak and needed to go to the south of the Yangtze River to recuperate" must be an excuse, but now he uses this as an example, and he always feels that it is not very good.Not allowing him to think too much, Mo Zhaoyuan answered "Shang Ke" and invited him to sit in the room.

"It just so happens that the green tea cakes that have just been made are served, Brother Hongji can try them together." Mo Zhaoyuan said.

Of course Tao Hongji would not refuse, he also wanted to have a talk with Cousin Chun in his private heart without outsiders.

He wants to know how Cousin Chun has been doing in the past ten years. Although it seems that His Majesty still loves the Sixth Princess, he must know that the Empress was deposed ten years ago, and the third prince Lu Jingming was soon left out. secretive attitude

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and Tao Hongji is not quite sure whether what His Majesty has shown is true.

Tao Hongji followed Mo Zhaoyuan into a small courtyard with a "Qingjingzhai" plaque hanging on the door, and a maid served tea as soon as he entered the room.Tao Hongji and Mo Zhaoyuan sat down on the bed, one on the left and the other on the right, separated by the small boxy table, showing some childhood intimacy.

He was probably still a little restrained, but in the end it was Mo Zhaoyuan who opened up the conversation first, recalled the past years that he didn't actually remember, and then asked Tao Hongji how he was doing recently.

"I just entered the imperial court a few years ago and worked in the Ministry of War." Tao Hongji said, and couldn't help thinking that A Niang and his uncle seemed to have plans to make him and Cousin Chun into a pair, so he couldn't help saying, "A Niang He said that I should get married in the next two years, but I don't know which wife to marry."

Mo Zhaoyuan didn't have much reaction to this, first he said "Congratulations" to Tao Hongji, and then asked his aunt very ritualistically how she was.Tao Hongji answered one by one, and mentioned the third prince Lu Jingming along the way.

Tao Hongji didn't know that Mo Zhaoyuan and Lu Jingming didn't have a good relationship, and he didn't know that the deposed Empress Wei had been cold towards Lu Jingchun in the past.He only felt that Cousin Chun hadn't seen her biological brother for ten years, so she must be thinking about her.There is no way to get in touch with the abolished empress who is still in Yeting, but news about Lu Jingming can still be obtained.

"Not long before I left Beijing, the third prince was conferred the title of King of Wuchang by His Majesty. I heard that he will go to the fiefdom when the weather gets warmer." Tao Hongji said, "I don't know if the third prince will be on this southern tour. I will come along with you, Cousin Chun may not be able to meet again."

After chatting with each other one after another, Tao Hongji's rustiness and restraint almost disappeared.He finally plucked up the courage to mention something that he had been obsessed with over the past few years: "How was Cousin Chun doing in Jiangnan? Back then"

At first he wanted to ask what happened ten years ago, but then he thought about it, ten years ago, Cousin Chun was only six years old, so how could he know what happened back then?

"Forget it, I won't talk about the original one. But, if there is anything you need help with, please tell me." Tao Hongji said so, and looked up at Mo Zhaoyuan with sincerity in his handsome eyes, "As long as I If I can do it, I will try my best to do it for Cousin Chun!"

Mo Zhaoyuan saw his sincerity and knew that Tao Hongji was speaking the truth.He suddenly laughed.

Interesting - so much fun.

It was clearly just a little friendship ten years ago, why was Tao Hongji able to make such a promise?

"Brother Hongji," he leaned forward, getting closer to Tao Hongji, "Why do you treat Ah Chun so well?"

Seeing the handsome face suddenly approaching, Tao Hongji was speechless for a moment.

why?

It is definitely not the love between a man and a woman, maybe there is a young Mu Ai at work, but more, it should be because of the childhood friendship.In the past few years, he has been thinking about Cousin Chun, and day after day, his worries have accumulated more and more.

That's how it should be.

His lips moved, but he didn't answer the question after all.
