Qingchuan History

Chapter 939
In March of the 13th year of Jinghong, the snow melted in the north, the new green was in the south, and the earth returned to spring.

On the border of Qiwei, a group of silver armored light cavalry came from the northwest, all riding black horses, and the soldiers on them were all small in stature, and when they approached, they knew that they were all women.

"Your Highness, there seems to be someone up ahead."

Gu Chunfeng also saw it, silver armor, black horse, riding alone, and his own. "Go and see."

Ah Xiang left the group at the sound, rode away, and turned back after a few miles, "It's Ji Qi."

The smoothness of calling his name directly has been practiced for nearly two years.

Heiyunqi entered the northern border in the 11th year of Jinghong. In order to facilitate this, the royal family and the general's mansion have worked hard.At that time, Ji Qi had been guarding the border for a year, and his military achievements were enough to be a centurion—but he refused to be a corporal commander, and in the next two years, he repeatedly declined the promotion he deserved.

The girls in Heiyunqi used to call him General Xiao Ji, but now that he has no official position, they can only call him by name.

However, I am not used to how to shout, and I stuttered for more than a year, and I have only recently become decent.

Gu Chunfeng's expression didn't change, he pinched the horse's belly and let out a soft drink, and Xiaoyu ran straight towards Ji Qi.

In the vast northern border, as far as the eye can see is the tile-blue sky and light yellow land, with only a little bit of fresh green.Ji Qi's chasing wind is dark and deep in this light color, and his profile is also deep, alone in the world, reminiscent of the serious illness many years ago.

Gu Chunfeng has always known that Shen Ji's "independence" came from his own life, and now Ji Qi is in the same situation, so it is true.

She still thinks about Shen Ji, wants to know if he is doing well in Buzhou Mountain, and thinks that one day she will go to see him, and hope that he has his wife and children by his side, and the rest of his life will be safe and warm.

"What's the matter?" Chunfeng asked naturally when the horse stopped.

Although the two are not in the same border town, they are not far apart, and they always meet each other; and the village located between the two towns often goes to each other, and people who have common acquaintances can hear about each other from those people from time to time. current situation.

"Aunt Jin asked me to bring it to you, saying that you have a long way to go back to Jidu, and it's a good time to eat on the way." Ji Qi handed over a big bag of bright yellow steamed buns.

Chunfeng laughed, and took it readily, "Thank her for me."

Ji Qi's face is rougher than three years ago, and his fair complexion when he was a teenager has long been dulled by the scorching sun and wind and sand on the border—but his eyes are extraordinarily piercing, like eagles, paired with a strong figure and agile movements, like A hunter who is always ready to strike.

"Is there anything else?" Seeing that he did not speak or leave, Chunfeng asked again.

"Safe journey."

"it is good."

Chunfeng turned around and called the girls to hurry up.

"I heard," Ji Qi said after hearing it.

"Huh?" Chunfeng turned back.

Ji Qi looked at the horse's mane, and then moved to the ground, "This time you go back to discuss marriage, yes, Chai Yinuo."

Chunfeng blinked, "Who did you hear that from?"

Ji Qi didn't answer.

"Chai Yiyao." Chunfeng responded, "You have a big mouth. There is such a saying, I don't know it yet, I will know when I go back."

"Of course not. You have to refuse." Ji Qi raised his eyes, fixed on her like an eagle's.

Those were the eyes of a warrior.Chunfeng thought to himself.Today's border is generally peaceful, but there are constant small battles. He can make many military exploits in this situation, probably because of his unrelenting posture day and night. "I'll see."

"There is no man in the world who is worthy of your grievances." Ji Qi was obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

Gu Chunfeng smiled and heard the girls getting closer, "You control too much. I have my own measure."

"breeze."

Chunfeng frowned.

"If it's because I refused to be promoted, and I'm still an ordinary soldier—"

"It's none of my business. That's your choice."

It's been three years, and the two of them never talked nonsense when they met.

This is the first time, almost to pierce the window paper.

"You know I have no choice."

Gu Xinglang never said that Ji Qi would not be allowed to gain fame based on his achievements, but he should be aware of this.

But if he is never promoted, he will never be worthy of her.

He wasn't even sure who she was waiting for if she didn't marry so far.

"So you can't and can't control my affairs." Chunfeng didn't feel angry at all, he was very calm and sincere.What he understands, she understands.

Ji Qi looked at her increasingly heroic face, and that sixteen or seventeen-year-old oriole-like girl flashed in his mind for no reason.

The little princess really became a female general, and the oriole became an eagle soaring in the sky.

Being able to soar under the same blue sky is also a kind of watch.

He held the rein to the side, cupped his fists and said, "Respectfully send your highness a humble post."

Non-stop, day and night, on the tenth day of March, Hei Yunqi arrived at the gate of Wumu.

It was early morning, and Chai Yinuo came to welcome him.The well-mannered General Wei and the heroic Princess Her Royal Highness each drive a snow-white Zhaoye Jade Lion Club under the city gate. In the eyes of everyone, they are a pair made in heaven and earth.

"Thank you, my lord." Chunfeng said politely.

"The princess traveled thousands of miles, and it was very hard work. Your Majesty told me the day before yesterday that I wanted you to set off earlier to meet her. Who would have thought—"

Unexpectedly, Hei Yun rode the wind and lightning, almost a day early.

Chunfeng smiled, "I haven't been back for more than a year, and my heart is too eager. At this hour, is it early?"

"Yes. I send His Highness back to the palace."

Chunfeng entered the palace by the side door, and heard the roar of the mountain:
Long live Long live Long live.

It has been three years, and every time she returns to the palace, she still feels as scared as Jing Hong did in the summer of ten years—afraid of seeing her brother's face, afraid of noticing every change in his expression, afraid of accidentally hearing the overtones in a certain sentence .

That evening in early August of that year was so tragic that she never thought about it again, but she couldn't stop dreaming about it at midnight.After all, she became a tortoise and dared not enter Mingluan Hall to report by herself. When Diyan went in to speak, she and Chunyue stood side by side outside the hall gate.

Then they heard many noises.

The sound of cracking, the sound of thunder, and the fire that they hadn't heard from Gu Xinglang for more than [-] years, all burned blazingly in that evening and the night that followed, and were burned to ashes.

Gu Xinglang didn't summon them until the end.

He never left the Mingluan Palace that night.

Chunfeng and Chunyue knelt outside the gate of the palace, and stayed the same all night until the sun rose and the gate of the palace was about to open, and they had to go as usual in the morning.

So far she hasn't asked how that early brother got through.He should have stayed up all night, but the officials would not be able to see from below—he was still like a god, but his heart was full of holes, and he continued to do what he should do.

but did not see them.

In the next few months, whenever Chunfeng and Chunyue asked to see each other, he would not see him until the late autumn of Jinghong's tenth year.

On November [-], he suddenly fell ill with a persistent high fever. Those who knew him thought it was a sign of poison.

Henry Zhang has been diagnosed and treated for several days, and he thinks it is not, and he is more inclined to be sick from overwork-after the chaos, the emperor will not rest day and night, from midsummer to late autumn, his iron body will also collapse.

The first snow that year came very early, just the day before Gu Xinglang fell ill, on November nineteenth.Chunfeng was a little belated, and said to Chunyue behind everyone's back:

Sister-in-law's birthday is approaching.

Chunyue also came to her senses, sat on the side of the dragon couch all night, and said repeatedly: She will come back, you will see her again, you can always find her, take care of yourself, only then will the day of reunion come.

On the next day, Gu Xinglang's fever subsided, he woke up, and he took medicine, and it was winter.

Overworked, even more depressed.Chunfeng thought silently.The queen has been assassinated by the anti-people, he can't look for it blatantly, but proceeded quietly, but it has been fruitless, longing for disasters, and despair.

"We did something wrong, Eldest Sister."

Chunyue didn't answer.

At the end of December that year, the brothers and sisters lived together.The eccentricity that lasted for half a year was thus repaired, and no one mentioned the reason for this eccentricity, and the days really calmed down:
Chunfeng began to plan for Heiyunqi's future. Chunyue would enter the palace every day and return to Zhenguo Temple at night. There were King Ning and the General's Mansion in the court hall, and Xiaomo also began to study governance.

It was another year in spring and March, under the bright sun, Gu Chunfeng walked into the inner palace after a wave of long live voices, heading towards Chonghua Hall.At this time, the elder sister should be there, she can't wait to see her and find out how her brother is doing.

But in the imperial garden, he bumped into a girl in a pink and purple dress, who was fluttering butterflies with a fan. She laughed like a bell, and she turned her head abruptly to make Chunfeng see her facial features clearly—bright eyes and bright teeth, she is a national beauty.

The girl also saw Chunfeng in military uniform, and was stunned. She was gently reminded by the servant girl who pulled her skirt and whispered. As if she had suddenly realized it, she put away her round fan and walked forward with her skirt in her hand to salute:

"Meet ten princesses."

Dare to play around in the imperial garden like this, accompanied by a maidservant, he is the master; but he is polite to himself and looks respectful, it seems that he has no canonization, at least the status is not high.

I haven't been back for more than a year, I missed too much.Chunfeng nodded, wanted to ask a few questions, but finally didn't, so he turned and continued towards Chonghua Hall.

"Why is it so early? I asked Your Majesty yesterday, and he still said tonight, or tomorrow."

Chunyue was indeed there.

Still dignified, but his face is softer and more compassionate than a year ago, which should be the reason for chanting Buddha day and night.

Chunyue also looked at Chunfeng, and her delicate complexion was neutralized by the heroic martial arts who grew stronger every year, exuding an indescribable beauty.

"Our Xiaofeng is so energetic, there are really few men in the world who are worthy of it."

Chunyue was also joking and serious, Chunfeng didn't know if she meant marriage or not, so he went to hold her arm while laughing.

"Don't take a bath and change clothes first when you come back." Chunyue blamed, "How decent is it to walk in the palace dressed up like this? Forget it, let's tidy up at my sister's place."

The petals in the warm water are ready, and Chunfeng dips into the tub, with Chunyue by his side.

"Who is that little girl in the palace?"

"Which one are you talking about?"

Chunfeng was surprised: "More than one?"

Chunyue sighed, "Three. They all entered the palace half a month ago, and your majesty has never seen any of them. Let's meet tonight. It's me, Diyan, who reminded me over and over again. I haven't seen you since I entered the palace." ,not good."

Chunfeng thought for a while, "What's the origin?"

"One is recommended by the General's Mansion, the other is Zhou Lan's sister from Yushitai, and the other is from Mei Zhou's scholarly family, known as the posture of heaven and man."

Chunfeng recalled what he saw in the Imperial Garden, briefly described a few words, and Chunyue nodded:

"That's Zhou Qin, Zhou Lan's younger sister."

Zhou Lan is the No. 11 candidate hand-picked by King Jinghong in the [-]th year. He comes from a poor family. He is upright, defying the powerful and eloquent.

"It's honest to look at." Chunfeng commented on Zhou Qin, "How about the other two? That celestial appearance is worthy of the name?"

"It's not inferior to those who were once famous in Qingchuan." Chunyue looked into the steaming mist in the room, her eyes began to dim, "But,"

"Have a bad temper?"

Chunyue was silent for a moment, then looked at Chunfeng, "I'm a little worried. She looks very similar to her."

Chunfeng was startled. "It's only five points, it doesn't count." After finishing speaking, he became worried, "It was decided at the beginning, elder sister, why didn't you check it? What are you doing?"

In the 12th year of Jinghong, that is, last year, the harem was still deserted. Although there was no shortage of servants around Junshang, the three women were Kabuki from the Taile Department after all, and they had not been canonized for a long time. The scene was very ugly.

At the same time, the court and the people were prosperous, but of course, because of the emperor's drastic rectification and reform, the comparison between the two sides made the palace even more depressed.

The courtiers held back for two years, but finally couldn't hold back their advice.

King Ning and Chunyue couldn't hold back the persuasion—in private, they couldn't bear the self-suffering of their younger brother;

Don't talk about enrichment, at least have it.

Gu Xinglang listens to everything he hears, he never refutes it, but he also doesn't take action, it goes in one ear and out the other.

At the beginning of this year, when Fang let go, preparations were made intensively in the court. Earlier, Chunfeng had agreed with Chunyue:

If one day you want to choose a beautiful woman for your lord, absolutely, definitely not be like Ruan Xueyin, not even a shadow, because Gu Xinglang will not be comforted by this, but will only be stimulated.

"The portrait doesn't look alike at all." Chunyue frowned, "It's a celestial figure again, how can I refuse?"

Maybe it is a good opportunity to pull Gu Xinglang out of the abyss. ——What if Xueyin is right and things can always change?
"Which Brother Jiu will see tonight?" Chunfeng didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"See you all three."

Chunfeng took a breath, "Then choose someone to sleep with?"

Chunyue defaults.

"It's better not to make any moths." Chunfeng leaned heavily on the tub, and there was a sound of splashing water.

"He has started drinking recently." Just listen to Chunyue said again.

"Of course not!" Chunfeng suddenly sat up straight again, "Didn't it be agreed on the time he drank secretly the year before last? The entire Imperial Medical Bureau is here, and he promised not to drink at all until he recovered!"

Alcohol and medicine are different, and the palace is now strictly guarding against alcohol.

"It's really much better. There were almost no symptoms of dryness and heat last winter. Henry Zhangji said that the poison may have been completely eliminated."

Chunfeng was not there last winter, so I don't know. "That's got to heal before—"

"I also objected. But Di Yan said that he was too bitter."

Chunfeng was silent for a moment.

"After letting him go for a while, I urged Henry Zhang to ask for his pulse three times a day, and it's not a big deal."

Clearly not finished.But Chunyue was also silent.

Chunfeng looked at her face, and could still discern the sadness in it through the steam.

"One day when I left the palace late, it was already the time of Hai, so I passed by the Wanlan Hall and simply turned in to have a look at him. Ever since I was a child, I have never seen him drink like that."

Chunfeng was a little dazed when he heard the words, and turned his brother's appearance of drinking in his mind - he has always been elegant, drinking lightly or drinking it all in one gulp, just like drinking tea, and because he has a good capacity for drinking, his face does not change after a thousand cups, even when he is drunk, he is also personable .

"Yes, how do you drink it?" Chunfeng didn't dare to ask, but asked cautiously.

Chunyue didn't know what to say, she didn't want to say it, she couldn't bear to say it.After a while, he said softly: "Looking up, holding the pot, one pot after another, pouring water into my mouth. I saw that time, I must have drank a lot, and my hands started to lose my head. Occasionally, it would spill on my face. "
