Ai Min of Fomalhaut's Self-written Book

?Time passed quietly, and the weather became hotter and hotter. The orchids were in full bloom.

Cong Zhan knew that I was afraid of the heat, so he sent me a peach-red soft silk robe early in the morning.

Spring is exhausting, autumn is sleepy and summer is taking a nap. The shade of locust trees is a good place to enjoy the cool air. At that time, I was reclined on the bench, and I used to enjoy the cool with a white round fan. The fan was for strolling with Cong Zhan in the Temple of Flowers. I bought the fan when I bought it. The fan has excellent white-leaf plain noodles, lacquered peony pattern, and ivory carved fan bone handle.

Right now, he was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard a man's fake coughing outside the door, so he turned his head and saw that it was the little brother.

He was wearing a gold-stuffed and embroidered thin robe, and was holding a small square box. His face was full of smiles, and he looked more and more like lacquer-painted and imposing.

"Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I asked the palace servants to bring me a lot of ice cubes, and send them to you to relieve the heat." The little brother said softly.

Sure enough, white steam was bubbling from the small square box.

"Wow, there's ice." I was feeling hot and dry, so I was so happy to see these ices, I hurriedly took them from my little brother, and said joyfully, "It happens that I'm also very hot, let's make shaved ice for you!"

"Shaved ice?" The little brother thought he had never eaten it before, so he couldn't help asking me, "Is this something from your place? Is it delicious?"

"Of course." I laughed, "You will know after eating."

It happened that my aunt cooked red beans in it for lunch, so I took some, and instructed my little brother to break the ice into pieces, then stirred them together, and poured honey on them. Each person shared a big bowl and sat at a stone table under the shade of a tree to eat slowly.

Seeing my little brother taste it seriously, he seemed to like it very much, and I said happily: "You have never eaten such a thing?"

The little brother smiled at me and said: "There are also people in Da Nei who make this kind of thing. They smash the ice into fine pieces, sprinkle sugar on it, add fruit water, and then float the bowl in the water with pumice stones. It can be frozen into soft crushed ice. My mother likes to crush it with Liao people's cheese and fruit, it tastes very good..."

"Huh?" I was surprised, "You guys already have ice cream?"

"What ice cream?"

"It's nothing." I smiled and said, "Is the food delicious?"

The little brother smiled and said, "You still make the best ones."

What a sweet talk!I couldn't help giggling twice.

After eating the shaved ice, I didn't have much to say. The scent of flowers in the courtyard lingered on the tip of my nose, and I became more and more drowsy. I was groping for the round fan, but suddenly there was a gust of cool wind blowing around me. It turned out that my little brother was gently holding on to the round fan for me. He was very close to me, and the scent of ambergris on his body mixed with the scent of peony flowers in the round fan. When they attack together, the middle-aged people want to get drunk.

Ambergris·····

I suddenly remembered something, opened my eyes and said: "... I went to the Temple of Flowers yesterday, and I happened to meet Cong Zhan, who blew me the tune of Drunken Flowers."

The little brother fanned his fan as usual, and said calmly: "I heard that he and his wife have a bad relationship."

I was startled, I was afraid that everyone in the capital knew about it, and I was half happy and half sad and said: "I didn't expect that his wife already has someone she likes. Now, after a year or so, he and his wife will file a divorce letter." The books are separated."

The reason for this is really embarrassing for Zhao Qianlian.

"...They are already discussing the separation?"

I smiled slightly and said, "If his wife wanted to leave on her own initiative, the Empress Dowager would definitely not do anything to his family."

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but rejoice, "If he was someone else's husband, I would definitely not be with him. I can't share my husband with another woman, little brother, just like you."

The wind gently lifted my dress, like a flying dish.

The little brother was silent for a long time, and suddenly he leaned next to my ear and asked softly: "Can I ask a question that only people in your place know?"

His neck was slightly itchy after being breathed out by him. I glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? It can't be a big deal, otherwise I can't say it."

The little brother grabbed my hand, stretched it out, and wrote two words one stroke at a time, which was exactly my name.

"I want this person to be by my side forever... This wish, have I realized it in the end?" The little brother's eyes were still as clear and clear as ever, but it was the first time I saw something strange from inside. The same thing, some slight blue light.

I was taken aback for a moment, his face was flushed, and he was staring at me deeply.

He, he really had such thoughts.

I suddenly remembered the joke about Cong Zhan, how can I compare with the three thousand beauties in the harem?

Still a child, foolishly unable to tell the age of love, it's just a novelty for a while.

I smiled at him warmly and said, "This matter will not be recorded, and my sister wants to go home."

His eyes flickered slightly, and his smile became cold. I couldn't bear it, so I pushed his shoulder and asked him awkwardly, "Do you want shaved ice?"

He shook his head and said nothing.

I straightened up, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Cong Zhan standing at the door, and said, "Why didn't you come in when you got here?"

Cong Zhan's complexion was so white that it was almost transparent, with no blood at all. I rarely see him like this. I wonder if he is uncomfortable getting along with his little brother.

He walked in slowly and saluted his little brother.

"Forget it, it's outside the palace anyway." The little brother's voice was a little cold.

I tugged on his sleeve beside me and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Cong Zhan's eyes were dark, and his voice was faint, "Come to bid farewell to Miss Ai Min. I'm leaving the capital."

"Where are you going?" I was very surprised, and my voice was a few decibels higher, and I felt in a trance.

"Aizhou. I'll be the resident envoy." Cong Zhan said slowly with his hands behind his back.

The little brother sat there calmly, I'm afraid I knew it early in the morning, I took a breath, my chest was full of anger, I half asked him, and half asked the little brother: "Why did you suddenly let you go to such a far place to serve as an official?" ?”

Cong Zhan didn't speak, but the younger brother looked at Manyuan Fangfei and said casually: "The Dali Temple has found out that Liu Congde instigated the Empress Dowager to set up the court, and he is the one behind the scenes. In fact, this is just the usual method of passing on in the court. It's just that the Queen Mother is like this Having said that, who dares to say no?"

The queen mother, and the queen mother, it's just such a big matter, wouldn't the little brother, he, he wouldn't stop him, and wouldn't he say something nice for Cong Zhan?

I looked at Cong Zhan and said, "Is this the end?"

Cong Zhan nodded, his complexion had recovered a little, he looked at me gently and said, "Fortunately, because I belong to the clan, the emperor gave me special blessings, otherwise I would be charged with beheading."

What the Empress Dowager said should be a final decision, I paused, calmed down, and said slowly: "You want to take... your wife?"

Cong Zhan shook his head and said, "No, she has gone back to her mother's house and asked me for a divorce letter."

"What's going on?" I grabbed his hand, why so fast?

Cong Zhan's brows were light and gentle, "Aizhou is a remote place, why bother to let people who have nothing to do with suffer together?"

I have been silent for a long time, and my heart has already agreed, so I will follow him wherever he goes.

Having made up his mind, he turned his head and smiled at his little brother, saying, "Little brother, it's so hot, can you help us get some ice? My sister taught you how to do it just now."

He knew what I was thinking, and I didn't want him to stay here any longer, so I found an excuse to dismiss him, took a deep look at me, and walked in.

I waited until I couldn't see him, so I hugged Cong Zhan gently, and whispered in his ear: "I will go to Aizhou with you."

Cong Zhan looked at me intently, feeling very sad: "Our appointment is in Jiangnan, not a place like Qingtang. It is said that people who have just gone there will always be peeled off by the sun."

I grabbed his hand and said coquettishly: "You were abandoned by your wife, and you got a bitter and cold official position that you can never turn over. Do you think anyone else wants you besides me? I have long wanted to go to Tibet, so don't stop me dream!"

Cong Zhan had no choice but to hold my shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go together."

His voice is full of pampering and happiness.

I happily wrapped my arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

When Cong Zhan was about to leave, the little brother just came out of the back room. He looked at Cong Zhan with a calm expression, "I should go back too, why don't we go together."

I sent them to the door and said with a smile: "Then I'm going back to pack my things, you guys go."
