From ?? to mid-winter,? Although green colors can still be seen everywhere, the weather is actually getting colder. On the day of the winter solstice, the coldest time of the year in the Lingnan region has come. The bustling capital also dimmed.
Different from the silence in other places, the front of the Guang'an Prince's Mansion was very lively. ? The mansion soldiers set up a row of mansion lanterns, and ? a group of people waited there.
Li Yuanmin was wearing a squirrel gray cloak and stood in the middle of the crowd with his sleeves rolled up. Under the dim lights, his beautiful face stood out. Beside him stood Ni Ying, who had already drawn a lot , was shrinking his neck, complaining in a low voice, obviously being a bit cold by the night wind after another,? Seeing this, Li Yuanmin handed her the hand stove in his sleeve calmly. Ni Ying stuck out her tongue received.
She played in the martial arts field just now, and she was covered with heat, so why would she think about adding clothes? It is very cold at the moment,? Fortunately, there is still a hand stove, which eases it a little .
The teenagers behind her wore uniform winter clothes, stretched their necks excitedly, and looked at the intersection of the long street? The excitement in their eyes was fully revealed—they were finally going to see the heroic army of the sheriff, and they had heard about it a long time ago Everyone was envious of the prestige of the county guards in eliminating the Japanese barbarians. Because Zhou Dawu was in front of them, these young men didn't dare to escape, and only looked at the gloomy end.
Soon, the sharp-eyed person saw a little movement, and shouted excitedly: "Master Shenling is back!"
Everyone shook their spirits and looked towards the street. Soon, there was a rumbling sound. It was the county guards returning to the city. Originally, due to the curfew, there was no one on the long street, but at this moment along the street The windows opened one after another, and there was a burst of cheers.
It is the common people along the street.
The dark long street is gradually lit up with lanterns. The shadows look like a river of lights from a distance, mixed with the cheers of the people, guiding the way for this group of soldiers who guard the peace of Lingnan.
Many excited people sprinkled corn, barnyard wheat, ground beans and other things that symbolized blessings on the soldiers to welcome the warriors who guarded their peace, and even bold and bright girls threw veils on the soldiers they liked , a faction of hustle and bustle, almost more lively than the New Year.
Because of the fear of crowding and disturbing the people, most of the soldiers were still stationed on the outskirts of the capital. Only a hundred or so people from the advance team followed Yan Lie into the city during the curfew.
The team got closer, and Li Yuanmin finally saw the tall and straight figure at the head of the team clearly. He was dressed in black armor, and he looked much taller than when he saw him last time. Frightened by the sight, all the soldiers followed closely behind, holding their eyebrows and holding their breath, and marched in an orderly manner. The team of hundreds of people, after the enthusiastic crowd just now, was not at all chaotic, and it was still solemn. Seriously.
"Brother is so impressive!" Ni Ying and Li Yuanmin said enviously.
A group of teenagers behind them showed envious eyes.
Li Yuan felt relieved, and his face unconsciously revealed a bit of pride.
A few feet away from the gate of the mansion, Yan Lie dismounted from his horse, walked forward with Cao Gang and a few cronies, all clasped their fists and half knelt down: "See King Guang'an!"
Li Yuanmin hurriedly stepped forward to help them one by one, looked at them a few times, and said hello repeatedly.
He gestured to the back again, and a group of waiting servants came out like flowing water, each with a plate in their hands, and there were five or six bowls of glutinous rice balls in them, all of them were plump, white and soft, and steaming hot .
Li Yuanmin took a few steps forward and said loudly:
"In order to protect the people in Lingnan, all the officers and soldiers gave up the reunion of the small family. Without you! There would be no peace today! My king would like to thank you for all the people in Lingnan! Today's winter solstice, the festival of reunion in the world, my king please Everyone, have a bowl of glutinous rice balls!"
The teenagers finally got the order, and immediately stepped forward to take the dishes from the servants in an orderly manner, and walked towards their role models beamingly, serving them bowl after bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls.
The winter solstice in Lingnan, although not too cold, is still a bit chilly, but in the middle of the night of the winter solstice, there are crowds of people from the bottom of their hearts, and the steaming glutinous rice balls, the coldness brought by the long journey Tiredness seemed to disappear forever.
The soldiers stationed at the border for nearly nine months, and finally cleared out the large and small Japanese strongholds along the entire line. King Guang'an ordered the border line to be stationed every 50 miles to change defenses to deter the remnants of the Japanese. Since then, the Lingnan boundary has once again restored its long-lost tranquility.
Entering the backyard, Yan Lie impatiently squatted down, hugged Li Yuanmin's knees face to face, and hugged him upright like a child without any effort.
Li Yuanmin hugged him around his neck with a smile, spraying warm scent on his face. While lowering his head and biting his lips, he complained half-truthfully, "You are not afraid of anyone."
Yi Lie's breathing was hot, and he sucked his soft lips from bottom to top without hesitation, raised his foot to open the door of the dormitory, walked around the veil, the two of them fell on the soft bed together, and Yan Lie supported him with both hands On both sides of his head, he finally moved his lips an inch away, and looked at him deeply.
Li Yuanmin snorted hot air, hooked his toes to the hidden buckle of his belt and stomped on it, so flattered: "Everyone told me to send you away..."
Before the words fell, the already red and swollen lips were tightly blocked. Li Yuanmin only had time to cry out in surprise before being swallowed all his breath.
The movement did not stop until midnight.
Li Yuanmin gasped for breath, and had no strength to speak anymore. Yan Lie was lying under him, helping him clean up carefully.
After a long while, the quilt was pulled up, and he was finally pulled into a warm embrace. He had something to say to him, but he didn't have the energy to say it right now, so he gave up, rubbed it, and put it on Burying her face into his neck, she only said in a daze:
"Ariel, hold on tight..."
The person in front of me hummed softly with a nasal voice.
Li Yuanmin grunted, touched the smooth and elastic muscle lines, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Yi Lie sniffed the fragrance of his hair, feeling an indescribable peace and tranquility in his heart. He wanted to see more of his sleeping face, but gradually he also felt sleepy, and fell asleep following his heart .
***
The sun leaked in from outside the veil.
Li Yuanmin's eyes moved slightly and he woke up.
Yi Lie was no longer by my side, and left as early as every time I stayed overnight.
Feeling a little lonely in my heart, I buried my face gently on the pillow.
If one day, the two of them can play around in the morning unscrupulously like the lovers next to them, that would be great.
Li Yuanmin smiled wryly, because of his senseless indecision in the morning, remembering that he was still so persuasive and comforting Yan Lie back then, but even he had such thoughts that he shouldn't have.
The other side is all right, how could the man in the capital let him insult the face of the royal family like this.
There was a little vigilance in my heart.
Thinking of the previous life, the father who only had one title accidentally ran into him, a prince who had not seen him for many years and had grown into a weak crown. The face that was originally disgusted was first Startled, then flew into a rage, as if it was such a monstrous crime for him to look like this.
He got down angrily, and with a dark face, he quickly walked towards him, and slapped him hard in front of everyone, until he fell to the ground with blood spattering from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't get up for a long time body—just because he has such a body and such a face.
But it was not up to him to make a choice. No one asked him, so he was born so easily.
Also because of this chance encounter, his only freedom was gone, as if he was afraid that his appearance would tempt someone to discredit the royal family, so he was strictly guarded in the West Palace and was not allowed to go anywhere.
For half a year, he didn't see anyone other than the palace man who delivered the food.
He originally thought that he would die in this cold palace for the rest of his life, and even Sima Yu couldn't save him.
I don’t think he lost even this bit of tranquility that is close to death. When the man on the throne was so ill and confused, he actually made a ridiculous plan, and asked the artisans in the palace to make him an indestructible chastity belt, and ordered him to wear it forever.
When the two expressionless eunuchs surrounded him and pressed him, he, who had always swallowed his anger and was weak, became furious. He attacked them frantically. He didn't know that under the humiliation and grief, he would With such great strength, he beat the two taller eunuchs to the point of bleeding with his bare hands.
Shocked and angry, the waiters supported each other and retreated.
At that time, he was panting for a long time on the spot, thinking in his heart that he couldn't live anymore, and he definitely couldn't live. It was the first time in his two lives that he thought of suicide as a way out of suffering.
He ran to the closet and dug out those slightly old robes, tore them open with his teeth, and tied a long, tight belt.
He was afraid that he would be trampled indiscriminately again. Before anyone came, he threw the belt onto the beam trembling in panic. Just as he was about to put his head into the rope, a solemn bell rang outside.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The bell rang a total of nine times.
It was the person who died, and the person who gave birth to him and brought him pain all his life died.
At that moment, he fell from the stool, crying loudly.
After two lifetimes, he can still remember the feeling of catharsis that even his heart was paralyzed.
Now, the person in Jingzhong still has half a year to live. He is determined not to let him think of himself at this moment, let alone let him know the fact that he has already been lying under a man for love.
He has to calm down and be cautious in every step... In the future, maybe he can win some opportunities.
Thinking of this, he patted his face, dismissed the faint resentment in his heart, and prepared to get up to freshen up.
Long time no see, last night the two of them were naturally indulging in love, not to mention Li Lie, even he was obsessed with him, and today he woke up with a bit of bitter fruit, and his waist and limbs were sore after another.
He kneaded and pressed a few times on the spot, got out of bed, and called the servants to bring in the toiletries.
Just as I was tidying up and letting the maid put on the crown, a servant hurried in from outside.
"Your Highness, Mr. Xue from Governor's Mansion is here."
Xue Zaixing
Li Yuanmin frowned. Isn't he still in the Jiangbei Camp? I thought that he was busy suppressing the water bandits, and he would not come for a long time, but he never expected that in less than a month, he would come to him again.
Thinking of the disgusting feeling of being spied on by a poisonous snake, his heart inevitably felt a little heavy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master Xue, please come to the conference hall."
He thought for a while, and then asked the boy: "Where is the leader?"
The servant hurriedly replied: "I went to the camp in the suburbs early in the morning, and I'm afraid I won't be back until noon."
Li Yuan felt relieved, changed into his normal clothes, and went to the meeting hall.
The author has something to say: Thank you.
