Zhong Lishuo, who had no idea that he was being missed, sneezed in his bedroom in the west courtyard. She touched her nose, looked at the dagger in her palm through the bright candlelight, and looked at it carefully. The dagger under the lamp was cold, and the blade that had been opened had a bloodthirsty edge.
Zhong Lishuo looked at the rubies decorated on the handle, the delicate patterns, and carefully looked at it for a while before stuffing the dagger into the plain deerskin scabbard. A cold light flashed, and it drew into the scabbard. Zhong Lishuo nodded in satisfaction, holding the dagger and wearing only his jacket and got into the warm bed. She put the dagger on her chest, looked up at the tent illuminated by the lights, and couldn't help it.
This is the dagger that Zhenbei Hou specially found for her on the autumn day when she just woke up last year and spent her sixteenth birthday. This is a famous blade named Jian Wu, which means to kill all evil and protect longevity. This is the most precious gift on Zhong Lishuo's body, and it is also her favorite treasure, so she wants to give her most cherished things to the queen.
After the Yulong Pavilion briefly met, Zhong Lishuo, who was happy, did not forget the last few words she said. It can even be said that she is very fortunate that she said those words, and now she can give gifts to the queen in an open and fair manner.
She clenched the dagger in her arms and replayed what she was going to do tomorrow in her mind. She has already recognized that the primrose dress that the Queen is wearing today is from the South Gate. If there is a commander of the Jinpaowei who knows that His Majesty is out on patrol today, or if she can find a few Jinpaowei that she has seen today My lord, may I be able to get the queen to receive a present
Thinking so optimistically, she couldn't help but hope that the queen would listen to her words. The queen can remember that someone is going to thank her tomorrow, and it would be good to pay attention to the affairs of the South Gate. But Zhong Lishuo thought again, would the queen take what most people say casually? When she was on the throne, the queen was already in a lot of trouble. Now that the queen has been enthroned as the emperor, she is the most honorable person in the world. Will she take her words to heart
But the queen talked to her, still so gentle and so addictive.
Zhong Lishuo, who has always been optimistic and positive, was immersed in the joy of seeing the queen again, without thinking about the impact his face would bring to people. Perhaps in her eyes, that face similar to Le Zhengying would not lead to anything. Or in her world, she will always be the one who looks up to the queen, and even the queen will think of something like her, she can't expect it.
The hustle and bustle of welcoming the Spring Festival has not dissipated, and the sky outside the house has been rendered very bright, and bright lights have also been lit in every place of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, watching each other and cheering at night. Zhong Lishuo's bedroom was lit, guarding the last night at the end of the year. The uneasy teenager, with longing for the future, is looking forward to the arrival of the first day of the first lunar month.
In the sound of firecrackers, the morning light of the New Year filled the streets and alleys of Yuanzhou City. Zhong Lishuo, who had not slept all night but was in good spirits, followed his parents to worship his ancestors at home. After breakfast, he led his little red horse out. I never thought about it, but I met the Marquis of Zhenbei at the door of my house.
"Su, where are you going?" The Marquis of Zhenbei, who was preparing to wait for a visit from relatives and friends at home, asked a little surprised when he saw the young son who was leading the little red horse and carrying a load.
"Go to the South Gate to find a friend." Zhong Lishuo led his little red horse with a look of excitement. The happiness on her face was so obvious that Zhenbei Hou felt a little joy.
"A classmate in the academy? Where are you going to meet, why didn't you tell your parents before? Ask Ah Sheng and a few guards to follow you. It's not like Dad won't let you go out, why didn't you tell me before?" Knowing that Le Zhengsu had barely interacted with anyone before this, the Duke of Zhenbei was really happy to hear that the youngest son finally had a companion.
"No need, Dad, I'm fine." Zhong Lishuo smiled brightly, got on his horse neatly, and said to Hou Zhenbei, who was off the horse, "I will definitely be back with my mother for lunch before noon, please don't worry about her. Dad, I'm going out. I'm done." She said, patted the little red horse, and rushed out of Qionghua Lane with her small package on her back.
The Marquis of Zhenbei, who was completely fooled by the young son's happiness, just watched her slip away from under his nose. It took me a while to react, and I quickly urged a few guards to follow, and then I was relieved.
I was thinking that the child needs to be free when she is older, and I was thinking that the youngest son was sick in bed all the year round. After finally being able to move around, I was reluctant to restrain her, which made her a little more lively recently. In addition to being happy, I couldn't help but feel sad. After all, this child is alright.
Although he had already prepared for the young son's early death, but suddenly raised to such a large size in the blink of an eye, the gratitude in the heart of Zhenbeihou increased a little more. Le Zhengsu, who was young and ignorant, was making arrangements, and the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was walking back, met Le Zhengying who was about to go out.
"Why, you also made an appointment with a friend today?" Zhenbei Hou, who thought the family could stay together on the first day of the new year, looked at the brightly dressed eldest daughter and asked with a smile.
"I made an appointment with Commander Su earlier, and today I will go to Xinghualou to sell wine with some friends. Dad, I won't disturb you when you see your old friend today." Le Zhengying was talked about by his father's old friend for several years. Just like the queen annoys the group of ministers who are urging marriage, she hides if she can.
The Marquis of Zhenbei, who never persecuted his children, looked at her clearly and said, "Okay, okay, you can go on vacation. Your mother and I will have a good time with your Uncle Su."
Le Zhengying smiled and asked again, "You just said that, but Asu also went out."
"Well, it's that child. I just held her little red horse and carried a bunch of things. I guess it's delicious, and I went to see my friends." Zhenbei Hou smiled, his face full of doting, " The freshness of a child, I'm afraid that when I have a companion, I want to give each other everything." In this sentence, what Zhenbei Hou said was not wrong at all.
"You're going to Xinghualou? That's also at the South Gate. If you see A Su, just look at her and order." Zhenbeihou thought for a while, not very relieved, and said something.
"Remember." Le Zhengying agreed, followed in his sister's footsteps and went out.
On the way to Xinghualou, Le Zhengying, who has always loved to ponder, can't help but wonder, who will be the companion that his little sister wants to meet? Not really the group of children in the same class.
Ah Su doesn't have much contact with people, he is innocent and cute, and it's not surprising that he can be friends with those children, and he also brought a bunch of food. Following this line of thought, Le Zhengying went through which adults and children lived in the South Gate one by one.
The Marquis of Zhenbei said that Zhong Lishuo brought a bunch of food, which was actually true. She stuffed some of the Queen's favorite snacks as New Year's gifts into the bundled gift box, and sent them along with her dagger.
Her full heart is in it, just waiting for the Queen to accept it, but whether she can receive it or not, it may depend on the will of God.
Since Emperor Jingwen of the Chu Dynasty, there have been more than a dozen female emperors in the royal family. After a hundred years, the folk culture has become more open, and it is common for women and men to join the imperial court as officials and the army as generals. The Chu Dynasty had produced a lot of empresses, such as the Zhongyuan Emperor in the prosperous Zhongxing Dynasty, not to mention the Tsundere Emperor and Zhao Emperor of the late Chu Dynasty who were both women.
Such a state of Chu, under the influence of Yunzhou, gradually formed the marriage of men and women, and it has become commonplace today. By the Qing Dynasty, the concept of the huge gap between men and women had long since disappeared. Therefore, at this moment, when Zhong Lishuo came to the administrative hall at the South Gate of Jinpaowei, carrying a small gift box full of dangdang, the servant who received her asked in astonishment, "This young master, where are you looking for? an adult?"
There are female adults of golden robes everywhere here. If you don't name them, who knows who you are looking for
But the person Zhong Lishuo was looking for wasn't actually here. How could she say that the lord was actually Jin Shang who was out on patrol in micro-clothing? Thinking of this, the well-behaved little boy hugged his gift box tightly and bit his lower lip in embarrassment.
