At the end of March, the spring is just right, it is a good time to go out and play.
When Qi Yang returned to power, Lu Qipei resigned, and by the way, he returned the Yulin token to the young emperor - to be honest, she didn't give up at all. He worked hard to guard the country for the little emperor. When Lu Qipei thought about it, he felt that he must have owed the royal family in his last life, and he immediately remembered that he really owed Qi Yang in his last life, and he was stunned in the end.
It was not easy until the young emperor became a talented and pro-governor, and the joy of the young couple was exactly the same. Others also said that Her Royal Highness, the princess, simply returned to the government. Her concubine would definitely persuade her, and there was even a so-called princess party who asked her to come before her, but God knew she wanted to run away more than Qi Yang!
After resigning from his official position and refusing his rights, Lu Qipei was relieved.
Qi Yang is not as good as her. Although it is also the same as returning power, can a Dali Temple Shaoqing resign and an auxiliary princess hand over power, can it be the same? Naturally it is different. As soon as Lu Qipei handed over the official seal token, nothing happened. But Qi Yang was different. She had too much power in her hands, and she had to repay the power simply. Right now, she needed to hand over to the young emperor in the same way, and she had to be busy.
So on a good spring day, Lu Qipei just took time off. She stayed in the mansion for two days, and then seven or eight groups of people came to ask to see her. Without thinking, she knew that it must be the "princess party" whose interests had been touched, and she still wanted to ask her to persuade Qi Yang.
How could Lu Qipei care? Although these people were all in the name of the Princess Party, how could Lu Qipei be unclear about the actual situation—their husband and wife never thought of nostalgic for power from the beginning, so naturally they would not deliberately support the forces to confront the Imperial Party. Except for the forces that were gathered by the two when the emperor was the first emperor, all those people were attached later, and the former *** was also divided into two, divided into two factions.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei still have a responsibility for the forces they have gathered, and they have already arranged a way out over the past year. As for the so-called Princess Party, which was attached to the situation later, the two of them were actually quite indifferent, and they didn't really want to pay attention to it.
Lu Qipei didn't want to talk to these people, so he just closed the door and didn't see him. But she locked herself in the house for a few days, and she was suddenly idle, and she felt uncomfortable and boring for a while.
I have painted, stroked the piano, cooked tea, and made incense... It is really boring to rely on these to pass the time.
So one day, looking at the peach blossoms in the mansion, Lu Qipei thought again.
After leaving the Princess Mansion from the back door, Lu Qipei rode his horse all the way out of the city, and went to the peach blossom forest on the banks of the Qingshui River on purpose, and gave Qi Yang a peach blossom. There are many forces in the middle, and he has to teach his nephew. Although Lu Qipei only held the official position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how could he watch his daughter-in-law busy alone? The two were busy, and since there was no time for outings to see flowers, Lu Qipei went to the peach blossom forest by the Qingshui River every year to fold a peach blossom for Qiyang.
This year is probably the last time, and they won't be in the capital in the spring of next year, so I don't know where Her Royal Highness will go to pick flowers then
Lu Qipei folded the flowers, thinking about what to do, and came back again. During this period, I didn't stay anywhere, I was afraid that someone would accidentally find me entangled, so I simply regarded this trip as a horse race to relax my mind.
Back at the Princess Mansion, I didn't want Qi Yang to come back early today, and the two met in the courtyard.
It was rare for Lu Qipei to see her returning early, so he was naturally happy. He held the peach blossoms that he had just folded and handed them over: "A Ning, I went out of the city to fold them for you. Do you think the peach blossoms are blooming well this year?"
Even though he went back, he was carefully guarded all the way, and because he came back quickly, this peach blossom that was just returned is well preserved. There are dozens of pink and tender flowers on one branch, but they are all blooming, and the red stamens are in different postures.
Qi Yang reached out and took it. Lu Qipei looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to smile as before, and by the way, he would pay a relative to him. After taking over the princess's smile, Lu Qipei didn't wait to come to kiss, instead, he was hit on the forehead by the flower branch, neither light nor heavy.
It didn't hurt, but Lu Qipei touched his forehead and looked at the scattered petals, but he felt a little distressed and puzzled.
Qi Yang couldn't help laughing when she saw her being stupid for a while, and her eyebrows and eyes were still slightly curved: "Stupid or not, you will break a flower if you run." As she spoke, she brushed away the petals stained on the tips of her shoulders and hair. .
Hearing this, Lu Qipei was a little aggrieved: "I break flowers every year, and you obviously like it, Your Highness." Why did he change his mind this year
Qi Yang seemed to have heard her unfinished words, raised his hand and lifted Lu Qipei's chin with the flower branch in his hand, his gesture was a little frivolous, like flirting. She smiled and looked at the person in front of her: "I think you're running for nothing, of course, because I can go with you this year."
When the words fell, Qi Yang didn't wait for Lu Qipei to respond, and said cheerfully: "I've finished handing over the government affairs, let's go out for a walk tomorrow!"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Qipei, who was a little embarrassed by Qi Yang's teasing actions, couldn't care about his blushing. The days of vacancies are finally over!
At the end of March, the season to see peach blossoms is a little late, and the flowers are almost in full bloom.
Qi Yang had just completely handed over government affairs with Shao Di, and when he was relaxed, he was aroused by Lu Qipei's peach blossom, and naturally he would not pick up the day again. It was explained that he was going out for an outing on the next day, and the next day he brought seven or eight servants and dozens of guards to the suburbs.
Her Royal Highness the Princess went out in person, but the "Princess Party" who had been begging to see the concubine did not appear again. Xu Shi had already persuaded him, perhaps because he knew that Qi Yang had already handed over the power in his hands. In short, the two of them went out quite peacefully.
The peach blossom forest by the Qingshui River is also quite quiet. The peach blossom forest is still a sea of pink, not to mention the treetops and branches, even the black ground below is covered with a layer of powder, like a pink carpet. What is even more coincidental is that the flowering period of the tenth month is now at the end, and everyone who should come to play and enjoy the flowers has come, and it is not a holiday or a holiday. There are not many tourists in the peach blossom forest on this day.
It's not that they don't like the fun, but what does the liveliness of others have to do with them? While walking, you have to worry about the eyes of others, it is not easy to get close and inconvenient to whisper, so it is better to walk quietly.
Both Qi Yang and Lu Qipei thought so, so they were quite happy to see the deserted Peach Blossom Forest.
Abandoning the servants and guards, the two walked hand in hand among the peach blossoms in the sky - as far as they could see, even the fresh withered petals were stepped on under their feet, and there was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms lingering in their noses, which felt different.
The two of them were walking, just as a gust of wind passed, and all the petals were fluttering and falling, and the two fell on their heads.
Qi Yang brushed the petals off his face and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, and I revisited the old place. This place is still so beautiful." After a pause, he smiled again: "The peach blossoms here are still so sticky."
Hearing what she said, Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand at will to catch a pink petal fluttering in the wind, with a relaxed and beautiful posture. When Qi Yang's eyes fell on her, he couldn't move away. He tilted his head and said, "The people in the peach blossom forest are still as good-looking."
When the two met for the first time, Lu Qipei was attracted by Qi Yang's face, and then his elegant body. Now count the days, the two of them have been together for years in the past and this life, and now Lu Qipei is also in twenty-four, but looking at her face, looking at her demeanor, how is she inferior to the young man she first met? Even with the growth and precipitation of time, she has become more and more charming.
Her concubine is still in her prime, and she is still so fascinated by the little girl that she can't take her eyes away—a high-ranking "little girl" Qi Yang who is one year younger than Lu Qipei thinks so.
Lu Qipei is now less red-faced than being teased by Qi Yang in just a few words, but she still doesn't want to answer such words, so she said something unpleasant: "His Royal Highness has now completed the handover of government affairs, and it is time for us to leave Beijing. Farewell this year, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back in the future, I am afraid this is the last time I will see the peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest."
Having said this, Lu Qipei blinked at Qi Yang: "The peach blossom that Your Highness collects every year, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive it in the future."
There are peach blossoms everywhere. If Qiyang is happy, she can plant a peach blossom forest bigger than this in her fief. But it's different, it's still different. Qi Yang has identified this place of first acquaintance. She only occasionally looks at the peach blossoms in the Princess Mansion, and she never collects dried flowers.
Qi Yang was not annoyed when he heard the words, he raised his eyebrows at the surrounding peach blossoms, and said, "In this situation, it is not easy for us to leave the capital to play around immediately, and we have to go back to the fief to live for a year or two before pretending to be. Why don't we move a few trees? When the peach tree goes back, what do you think of A Pei?" After thinking about it, he thought of the princess's house, and added: "And the grapes in the house, you chose it yourself, and they tasted quite sweet, so you also removed them?"
Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing and crying. He couldn't imagine the painting style of moving even the trees, vines and vines when he moved. If others see it, I'm afraid they will think that the princess' mansion is so poor that even a vine is reluctant to leave it behind, right
Thinking it was really funny, she waved her hands hastily and said, "Farewell, oranges in Huainan are oranges, and the grapes in the capital are moved to the side, I don't know what they taste like, what are you going to do? It's a peach tree, Your Highness. If you really insist, it's okay to dig up two saplings and take them away." I just don't know what she means by insisting on these
The two chatted casually and walked away, talking about the days after they went to the fief.
Because he had long planned to return to the fief to settle down, Qi Yang had someone build the Princess Mansion there three years ago, and Zhi Ting had been ordered to clean it up a few years ago. Up to now, if they want to leave, the fief has already been arranged, and they can leave at any time.
With their longing for their new home, the two were speculative and walked into the depths of the peach forest unknowingly. They didn't meet anyone along the way. The two of them walked and chatted quite leisurely until Lu Qipei's eyes dimly saw a corner of his clothes behind the big tree in front of him. go down.
But today the peach forest was empty, and the chatter between the two was invisibly amplified, and the people behind the tree were clearly alarmed when they stopped.
He didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. It was just that a stranger suddenly caught the couple chatting and was somewhat uncomfortable, so Qi Yang and Lu Qipei decided to leave in a different direction.
At this moment, the people behind the tree also came out, but it was two women who nodded to them and left first.
Lu Qipei looked back at the two of them and gave them a second look, thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Qi Yang asked, "What, do you know each other?"
Lu Qipei glanced at Qi Yang and felt that the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air was inexplicably sour.
She wanted to laugh, but nodded solemnly: "I have seen it." After speaking, she felt that the sour smell in the air seemed to be stronger, so she continued calmly: "You have seen it, a few years. When the former kings and princesses drank at the Qingshui River."
That was four years ago. The two were hanging out in the peach blossom forest, and when they were about to return, they bumped into two girls. One pressed the other against the tree to kiss, and Lu Qipei blushed in shock. But they didn't want a few years to pass, and they ran into each other in the peach blossom forest again. It was the same two people, but Lu Qipei noticed that they both wore women's buns now.
In this world, where can two women fall in love with each other and trust each other? After all, you must be bound by the world!
Lu Qipei suddenly felt a little fortunate, fortunately, she was dressed as a man, and fortunately she met Qi Yang...
