Blade of Wind

Because we had to catch up with the court meeting, we set off early the next day back to Falcon Palace.

Halfway through the road, the sun slowly climbed up the hill.

I paused and turned my head to watch the sunrise.

The sky is not clear, it is a kind of dark blue-gray, and a reddish glow slowly rises in the east.The rays of the sun change from shallow to deep with time, and the clouds in the sky are also dyed a strange golden red, which is magnificent and charming.

Everything in the world under the rising sun seems to have a different kind of brilliance.

I couldn't help admiring, and then I saw a touch of green color on the hillside over there.I narrowed my eyes slightly, got off the horse and ran over to look.

I don't know what kind of plant it is, but it is trying to grow buds from among the rocks.The leaves are small and covered with a layer of fine hairs, which look very cute.

And after I ran over, I noticed that there was more than one tree on the sunny hillside.The new weeds come here and there, and the green green is occasionally dotted with bright yellow flowers, which is refreshing.

It was mid-winter when I arrived in the Twelve Kingdoms, and I stayed in the Falcon Palace since then. When I went out, I went to Zhenzhou, which was desolate and scorched.Although it's not like I haven't seen green plants after careful study, I have never been so moved.

These are different from Pengshan, which has no seasons, and the imperial palace with special care. These wild flowers and weeds are the creations of nature and the vitality of the land itself.

Yes.

It's hypocritical and funny to say, but I did see hope and vitality in this piece of wild grass!

I let out a long breath and suddenly wanted to scream and laugh.

I have been here for so long, until now, for the first time, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

When Xiu Huang walked over leading our horse, I couldn't help but reached out and hugged him, shouting happily: "Xiu Huang, look, it's still alive. Our land is still alive!"

This was a bit thoughtless, but Xiu Huang nodded with a smile and said, "Well, it will get better."

Looking at him with such gentle eyes, I felt that I was acting too childish. I let go of my hand a little embarrassedly, coughed lightly, and when I was about to say something, I saw my idle horse The horse lowered its head and bit off the shoot of the unknown plant that I thought was very cute before.

"Hey!"

I was taken aback, stared at it and yelled.

Of course it ignored me completely, chewed slowly, swallowed, then lowered its head and began to eat other grass.

I couldn't laugh or cry, the clumps of tender green weeds that moved me so much just now entered the horse's belly.

However, think about the grass growing in the wild, the livestock eating the grass, spreading the seeds of the plants, and the manure making the land more fertile... This is the natural cycle of nature, right?

"I hate it." I patted it half-truthfully, and ordered Xiu Huang to hold this gluttonous horse.He ran to pick a bunch of wild flowers by himself, carefully hugged them in his arms, and then got on the horse and returned to the palace with Xiu Huang.

Because of the delay on the road, the court meeting was still missed.

I asked the guard on duty at the gate, and I simply didn't bother to go to the main hall, so I went back to the main hall.

Now Ah Ao's eyes and ears in the Falcon Palace are much more agile than mine. I just entered the Changle Palace, and before I had time to change my clothes, he followed me in.

He didn't speak when he came in, but just stood there staring at me with a gloomy expression and all his unhappiness was on his face.

"Hi, Ah Ao." I was in a good mood today, and I didn't want to argue with him, so I greeted him with a smile, and handed over the bouquet of wild flowers I picked like a treasure. "Here, give it to you."

Those flowers are delicate and delicate. Although I was very careful along the way, after all, I ran all the way up on horseback. The stems were broken and the petals fell off, which accounted for most of them.

The corners of Ah Ao's eyes twitched twice, but he still stretched out his hand to take it, and tidied it up carefully.

I just stood aside, watching him do these things, and said with a smile: "It's cute, right? When I came back, I picked it on the hillside below. It really is spring, the flowers and grass are full of vitality... …I looked at them and thought, great. No matter how bad the situation is now, the flowers and trees are still sprouting..."

Before I finished speaking, Ah Ao paused, and a flower in his hand fell lightly to the ground.

I knelt down to pick it up, tilted my head, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Ah Ao smiled softly, called the maid outside the door, and asked her to find a bottle of water to grow those flowers.

The maid glanced at the bouquet in his arms with a very strange look, and went obediently.

After the vase was brought, Ao began to carefully put the wild flowers in the vase, without saying a word.

So I waited for him to insert it, then handed him the flower I just picked up, and asked casually, "How is the court meeting today?"

Ah Ao didn't answer me, but looked down at the flower, pinched off the branches and leaves below, and then stretched out his hand to pull me over.

I frowned, "Ao?"

"Stay still," he said.

Although I don't understand what he wants to do, I know that Ao definitely has no malice towards me.What's more, I'm in a good mood today, and... I'm a little embarrassed that I missed the court meeting.So I obediently responded and stood there without moving.

A Ao looked at me for a while, then used his hands as a comb, stroked the hair hanging from the side of my face behind my ears, and combed it smoothly.Then gently pin the little yellow flower on my temples.

His movements were very gentle, his gaze was like water, slowly sliding across his face.

I was stunned there for a moment.

But Ah Ao laughed out loud.

"Hello." I was a little surprised, but I became ashamed in his laughter and called out with a blushing face.

Ah Ao covered her mouth and smiled, pushing me towards the mirror inside.

The color in the bronze mirror is a bit distorted, but the flower on my hairpin is still very conspicuous, soft and pink, and even my own face looks soft.

but……

I was still wearing a slender gown.

Although it is not tied in a bun like ordinary men, but the hair is loose and it is not too feminine, but because of this...

I'm dressed in men's clothes, but I have a flower in my head...

It looks...really...

it is ridiculous!

I turned my head and stared at A Ao, with a straight face, "Did you do it on purpose?"

He didn't answer, just couldn't stop laughing.

I gritted my teeth, walked over and stretched out my hand to grab his face and pulled it from side to side, "Brat, tell you to laugh at me! Still laughing!"

"Hmm... porphyrin... oh no, it's all different..." Ao was pulled by me, his voice was a bit vague, and he didn't speak anymore at the end, just stretched out his hand to wrap around my waist.

My body froze, and I couldn't help letting go of my hands.

Ah Ao sighed softly at this moment, hugged me tightly and said, "I'm very worried about you."

I pursed my lips and didn't reply.

A Ao said again: "Flowers are very cute."

He was boasting about flowers, but for some reason, I felt a little hot on my face, I quickly pulled his hand away, and said, "I'm going to change my clothes."

"Well, then I'll take the flowers back first." Ao replied, holding the vase and going out.

I walked to my bed and sat down, looked up at myself in the mirror with hairpins on my sideburns, my cheeks were flushed, my mood suddenly became complicated.
