On the day of entering the palace, the weather was not very good, it was gloomy everywhere, there seemed to be a light rain before the Chang Gung star set, the ground was wet, the wheels ran over, and the sand fell off wetly.
Stepping into the palace again, there is no difference in the oppressive sky framed by the boxy yellow tiles and red walls. Li Yuanmin looked at the majestic Xuanwu Gate over his head, and a drowning suffocation rose in his heart feeling. So he lowered his head even more, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look, this is his usual survival strategy, just like survival instinct.
After entering the Xuanwu Gate, according to the regulations, the entourage brought by the vassal king is not allowed to enter the inner gate. Li Yuanmin turned around and told Ni Ying a few words, telling her to go out of the palace first and wait,? If this blessing ceremony would take a whole day,? Naturally, he didn't want Ah Ying to suffer at the freezing gate here.
Ni Ying understood his thoughts, and was afraid that he would be worried, so he readily agreed, and Li Yuanmin was relieved to go in. He didn't notice that Ni Ying was still where he was.
Ni Ying looked at his slightly bowed body,? If you don't pay attention, it looks like the back of a servant in the palace. Such a slender and frail body is made sickly thin by the large robe. ?As if the wind blows and it falls down.
Ni Ying's eyes became hot, and she almost burst into tears. She didn't dare to look any more. She just turned around and left the palace gate without looking back.
Led by the servants, Li Yuanmin finally entered the front hall of the Temple of Heaven. Many people were already waiting inside. Several vassal kings and their relatives were already waiting inside. Those who knew each other chatted with each other. When they heard the news at the door, everyone agreed to join him. The face turned.
The originally noisy front hall suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were on his face, most of them were amazed, mixed with contempt, probing, and even naked coveting that deviated from human relations.
These dank prying eyes that can't get rid of for a lifetime make Li Yuanmin sick.
However, he didn't notice it at all, and just walked forward to greet them one by one with his hem raised in fear. The vassal kings here are all brothers of Emperor Mingde and uncles of Li Yuanmin. At any rate, they maintained their identities, and the complex expressions on their faces disappeared. They pretended to ask him something, and Li Yuanmin lowered his eyebrows one by one. After he answered, he ignored him, only some young relatives and children still stared at him from time to time, and whispered occasionally.
When the eldest prince came in together with the presiding elders of the Kaiyuan Temple, the prying eyes that more or less fell on him moved away.
This dojo needs to be set up for seven days, which is not an easy job. All the royal family and nobles also had to sincerely chant sutras together with the presiding officer. Only at noon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a vegetarian meal, and everyone was able to rest for half an hour.
During the rest time, everyone was drinking tea in the apse. Li Yuanmin was overwhelmed by those prying eyes, so he found a gap and hid in the plum garden in the apse to enjoy the flowers.
The plum garden here at the Temple of Heaven is blooming very well. The early spring is the time when the flowering period is in full bloom. The large clusters of red plums are blooming on the branches, which makes Li Yuanmin relieve a lot of depression in his heart.
He thought, really people are not as good as things.
Sighed slightly, rubbed his brows. After all, he had been in Lingnan for a long time, and he was still a bit reluctant to return to Beijing.
Seeing that the rest time was coming to an end, Li Yuanmin took a deep breath and prepared to walk back.
Suddenly looking back, I saw a clean-cut man dressed as an imperial physician frowning at him. Seeing Li Yuanmin looking at him, he immediately looked away and walked forward.
Li Yuanmin was in a daze for a moment, feeling a bit cramped, and pretended to be nonchalant and walked forward a few steps, but in the end he stopped.
smiled slightly: "Zhihe, long time no see."
The man in front of him was shocked, and he turned his head to look at him in disbelief. It was He Yunyi who hadn't seen him for eight years. He looked at Li Yuanmin's face in surprise. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. Clenching a fist to his lips, he coughed lightly.
"It turns out to be His Highness the Third Highness."
The two looked at each other speechlessly. Li Yuanmin saw him in a dilemma, and finally his heart darkened. He smiled forgivingly and broke the deadlock.
"The dojo is about to start again, so I will go first."
Before he finished speaking, a servant hurried over from the corridor. When he saw him, he immediately looked displeased: "Why did King Guang'an hide here? It's easy to find for the miscellaneous family!"
Li Yuanmin said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law, but I'll go in now."
He glanced back at He Yunyi, nodded to him, and followed the waiter in.
He Yunyi stood there for a long time, his face was calm, until a gust of cold wind brushed his face, he seemed to wake up, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the apse.
It was already late when she came out of the palace, and Li Yuanmin was already extremely tired. Ah Ying had already been waiting at Xuanwu Gate. Seeing Li Yuanmin coming out with a tired face, she hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and sent him to the got the carriage.
"Your Highness?" Ni Ying looked worried.
Li Yuanmin shook his head, "No problem, it's just that I've been kneeling and sitting all day today, and my muscles and bones are a little tired."
Thanks to Uncle Qian's medicine, he vomits less recently, and if he vomits, he can hold on for a while, so that he won't lose his composure in front of outsiders.
After hearing this, Ni Ying squatted down and rubbed his legs.
Li Yuan felt warm in his heart, and asked her softly: "Are you tired outside today?"
Ni Ying shook her head, "I found a teahouse on the street next to me to sit. There was an opera troupe coming out, but the opera was a little boring. I listened to it over and over again. It wasn't very interesting. It wasn't as exciting as our Lingnan ones."
Lingnan folk customs are open, and the theaters are full of gaudy but twists and turns, which is wonderful. At the foot of the imperial city, these teahouses can only make some regular jokes. In terms of impressions, they are not inferior to those in Lingnan.
Li Yuanmin was thinking about going to the bookstore to buy her some books to pass the time later, the carriage swayed, and slowly came to a stop, and the accompanying voice came from outside the sedan chair: "King Guang'an, a person who claims to be your old friend is here Waiting for you ahead."
Li Yuan moved his heart, and hastily lifted the curtain of the sedan chair to take a look. Sure enough, he saw that familiar face.
The two were separated by the general public, at that moment, Li Yuanmin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him.
Ni Ying was very vigilant, and Li Yuanmin quickly explained: "This is the only ... best friend of His Highness Brother in the capital."
He had a soft look on his face: "You go back first, and let Zhang Long follow."
Ni Ying looked at him, but remained silent. Li Yuanmin sighed: "Okay, just wait."
***
The business of this teahouse is not very good, the teahouse upstairs is very quiet, the two sat down, and He Yunyi poured tea for Li Yuanmin.
He looked at the person in front of him. When he saw him in the palace, he was almost unrecognizable. In the past eight years...he has changed a lot.
It's so big that he... almost dare not look at him.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the person in front of me and the appearance he saw in the palace just now have changed a lot. The cramped posture is stretched out, looking elegant and dusty, but the stature still looks a little inadequate.
Thinking of his background, He Yunyi's heart tightened, and he habitually stretched out his hand, wanting to feel his pulse, but just as he touched that snow-white wrist, the other party quietly moved away.
He Yunyi was taken aback for a moment, with an embarrassing apology on his face: "I was the one who was abrupt."
Li Yuan felt bitterness in his heart, but his face was joking: "No, I'm afraid you will find an opportunity to prescribe some medicine for me, and let me suffer for nothing."
"It's useful for me to let you eat those. Could it be that I'm one of those quacks who prescribes random prescriptions?" He Yunyi couldn't help frowning.
As soon as the words came out, the two of them froze. This kind of childhood conversation made both of them smile knowingly, and something seemed to disappear without a trace.
Maybe after going through more things in the world, after understanding the helplessness of the world, He Yunyi gradually looked down on those so-called inability to let go.
Sometimes, people living in this world are definitely not so pure. Unfortunately, he understood this truth too late.
Li Yuanmin interrupted his trance: "Eight years have passed, should you start a family too?"
He Yunyi nodded, and now there is some warmth: "Her father and I are both medical officers, and now, he is having a baby in the ancestral home."
"Ah... well, that's great."
Li Yuanmin was really happy for him. His best friend from the previous life finally avoided the fate of tragic death in his previous life. At that moment, the things he had been entangled in his heart for many years suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he didn't feel at all what he had lost. What.
He Yunyi looked at the unconscious joy on his face, and didn't know what it was like in his heart.
The author has something to say: Sorry, I'm late tonight! ! ! It is estimated that there will only be one update in these two days!
