The familiar cloves on the adult's body, the familiar eyes, and the gentle tone of voice he had accompanied him for many years made Zhong Lishuo suddenly think of the person he longed for.
She has seen her queen.
The moment he reacted, Zhong Lishuo's heart surged with great joy, but in an instant, there was infinite regret. She finally saw the queen again, but unfortunately did not recognize her in an instant.
Dressing up as a guard in the golden robe is something that person can do. The body's reaction is faster than the brain's. After reacting, Zhong Lishuo has already rushed towards the place where he is separated from the queen.
"Su, where are you going?"
Where to go, of course, to find her queen. She has crossed the sea of fire, she has been born from death, she has traveled from the distant Lanzhou, is it just to see the Queen again
"I'll wait for you to come back." Zhong Lishuo said this, and he didn't break his promise.
The young man in red shuffled through the Yulong Pavilion, his reckless figure looked like a light swallow. Le Zhengying, who was stunned by his younger brother's mindless actions, looked left and right, and followed behind Zhong Lishuo, ignoring the rest.
"Su, Su..." Le Zhengying quickly followed Zhong Lishuo, calling her name in a low voice.
Zhong Lishuo just kept moving forward as if he couldn't hear anything. Just like the moment when he was suffocated by the flames in that fire, he stretched out his hand toward the past that he could only recall.
"'The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king guards the village.' This sentence is what Zitong said to me. You go to the north and guard the imperial city alone, so that the rear of the king is safe and sound."
"I will live up to your Majesty's expectations."
…
"Do you think I'd be a good king?"
"As long as His Highness works hard and shows his compassion to the people, he will surely become a wise man through the ages."
…
"The cherry blossoms in the East Palace are really blooming. I think the scenery outside the imperial city will be even more beautiful this season. If the general marries me, the only thing you can see in this life is the cherry blossoms in this garden. Even so, the general is willing to Marry me?"
"His Royal Highness has been thinking too much. In my eyes, His Royal Highness is a good person."
…
Scene by scene of the past flashed through my mind, and what was finally fixed in my mind was the appearance they first saw in the broken temple in Yunzhou. The ragged Young Master Jianlu held a black porcelain medicine bowl, turned his back to the wounded soldiers and refugees in a temple, looked at the young general in silver armor riding a black Yueqi horse, and asked:
"Who is Your Excellency?"
When the general on the horse saw her, he neatly turned over and dismounted, and bowed halfway in front of her: "Chen Xuan Jingchen, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince bowed his head, the general raised his eyes, and at the moment when the four eyes met, Zhong Lishuo felt that he had seen the only light in his life that could make her chase after the shakuhachi.
Zhong Lishuo ran to the railing where he had been before, and looked around in a hurry, with hope shining in his eyes.
Zitong…
Zitong…
Her eyes searched around, but she saw no trace of the man at all. At that time, Le Zhengying happened to arrive, looking at the young brother frantically searching, he grabbed her arm, "Su, what are you looking for? Looking for the lord just now?"
Zhong Lishuo nodded in panic, but did not respond at all, Le Zhengying was thinking about her bad health when she was pregnant, and felt a little anxious, pulling her to persuade her patiently and gently: "I'll ask you about that when I go back. Sir, don't worry, Ah Su. Tell my sister, is there any discomfort in your body?"
In the letter from his parents, Le Zhengying vaguely knew the symptoms of Le Zhengsu when he fell ill. Le Zhengsu, who was still in bed a few years ago, would get up inexplicably and run outside. At this moment, she is very worried about whether Le Zhengsu is sick, and is very anxious.
The medical workers all said that Le Zhengsu needs to rest and not think too much. Fang is just thinking about giving a gift in return, so he was worried. Yes, yes, Su has never had much contact with people, and when she suddenly met someone who showed her favor, she must have the intention to repay them well.
After all, my mother said, Su is so pure and kind, with a warm heart of a child.
Thinking of this, Le Zhengying couldn't help but persuade a few more words, hugged her and said, "Okay, don't think about it, don't think about it."
The body was hugged tightly, pulling back Zhong Lishuo's attention. She raised her eyes and saw the eldest sister holding her with a worried look, and an apology welled up in her heart. She has always been more casual, but she doesn't want to be worrying.
She bowed her head and said in a low voice, "Su is fine, I made a mistake, and let the elder sister worry about me again." She couldn't help but sigh and put away her thoughts of seeing each other again. Zhong Lishuo thought happily, at least he had a few words with the queen tonight.
Le Zhengying watched her finally recover, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to open his lips to say something, a bell chimed to the ground, the music disappeared, and a gentle and gentle voice entered his ears.
"Tonight, on the day of family reunion, I am very happy that you are invited to come. I have just walked in the Yulong Pavilion, and I am very pleased to see many young talents in Daqing." The queen who has returned to her position is safe and sound. Sitting on the supreme throne, looking at his courtier with a pair of warm eyes, he said softly: "The dance music tonight is also very beautiful, peace, you did a good job."
Princess Ping An is the president of the Privy Council, leading a cadre of ministers in the Privy Council, and is responsible for drafting policies for His Majesty. But at the same time, the eldest princess also has several duties. For example, this palace banquet was handed over to the eldest princess and the Ministry of Rites to arrange. This should have been the responsibility of the queen or the royal husband, but given the vacancy in the future, it was handed over to the eldest princess.
When Princess Ping An heard the words, she bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty is wrong."
Everyone's eyes fell on the most conspicuous position on the third floor of Yulong Pavilion, and Zhong Lishuo was no exception. She broke away from the eldest sister, lay on the railing, and looked at the woman who appeared on the slanted upper seat, with joy in her eyes.
That is her queen, her Zitong.
Unlike all the former emperors of Chu who wore red and black orthodox dragon robes, the emperor Xuan Jingchen wore a long red dress embroidered with golden dragons tonight.
After a long distance, Zhong Lishuo recognized the empress's eyebrows, looked at her twitching lips, familiar eyebrows, and looked at her face that had never changed, and felt very satisfied.
She hasn't changed, and she still has the same sought after brilliance as before. Zhong Lishuo was so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud, and then he wanted to call out her queen. All of this was drowned out between his lips and teeth when ten thousand people chanted for His Majesty in unison.
In the end, she just wanted to be able to gently say a word to the other party—
I'm waiting for you, Zitong.
Le Zhengying noticed the boy's strangeness. She followed the boy's line of sight and looked at the queen on the high seat. She turned her head and saw the brilliance in the boy's eyes, and she couldn't help but shudder. She knew that the empress who became famous when she was young, and who was victorious in all battles, was a god-like belief in the eyes of all boys and girls.
Could it be that her sister was also captured by His Majesty
Thinking of this, Le Zhengying frowned. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his sister, and called out again: "Su."
"Huh?" Zhong Lishuo turned his head, his black and white eyes were clearly written with joy and admiration. Le Zhengying swallowed the words that came to his mouth, thinking that it's okay, maybe it's just the worship of His Majesty by his younger brother who has never seen the world. And even if it is affection, it depends on whether His Majesty can respond to this child.
Xu Shi's joy was too obvious, and Zhong Lishuo, who was afraid of being noticed by the eldest sister, thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Le Zhengying brightly, "Sister eldest, your majesty looks different from the legend, but it really looks very different. nice."
It's still a child's mind. Le Zhengying thought so, and replied, "Asu, don't make fun of His Majesty."
"But Your Majesty is really good-looking, sister. Can I stay here until the banquet is over?" She looked at Le Zhengying hopefully, trying her best to pretend to be a curious teenager.
Le Zhengying couldn't refuse her request, so next, she stood here with Zhong Lishuo all night.
This is God's blessing to her, so that she can see the queen again. There were few bright colors in her short life. The emperor who gave birth to her killed her father after she was born, and killed her father's family, the Yang family, and then left her in the cold palace to be with that gentle adoptive mother.
Later, the adoptive mother died, and Emperor Thorn left her to Lao Yunzhong Wang to raise her. But the good times didn't last long. It didn't take a few years for the Zhongzhou rebellion to bring disaster to Yunzhou. The old cloud king died in battle. She was lost when she was fleeing and lived in Taidaoguan. Until he was found by Xuan Jingchen and returned to Yuanzhou to take over the East Palace.
In her life when she was abandoned like litter, only the queen never left her and accompanied her from childhood to youth. The Queen is the most vivid, the most upright, and the most concerned about the country and the people she has ever met.
The Queen is the most respected hero in her life.
Perhaps in the past life, His Majesty Donghuang felt that he owed her too much, so he gave her another chance to see the queen. If so, she will definitely live harder and then walk brightly to the queen.
Regardless of whether there will be a result or not, I also want to say a question that I have been afraid to ask.
Are you willing to go through life with me like this? Zitong.
The young man lying on the railing shone with longing. The queen sitting on the throne watched the singing and dancing below intently. Occasionally, she turned her head and bumped into an unusually beautiful young man.
The boy was looking at her, focused and serious. The Queen's heart skipped a beat, and a long-lost emotion suddenly filled her heart.
The queen knew who the young man was, and they were so similar that the thought would distract the queen.
She suddenly remembered the appearance of that person, from sixteen to twenty-one years old, it seemed to be the same. The sick face that is always pale, the thin, tall and straight body, and the pair of bright black eyes that shine no matter what.
The queen looked away, and her thoughts began to drift away. A vague cold surrounded her body, and she couldn't help pinching the blanket on the armrest of the throne, hoping to catch a little warmth.
A little cold, the Queen thought.
She began to miss Zhaohui Hall, which was always very warm in the imperial city.
