There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 170
Along the way, a group of people stopped and stopped, admiring the scenery along the way, while secretly investigating the local people's sentiments.

It has to be said that Xia Houjue is indeed a qualified prince.

Every time he went to a state or county, he had to stay for a day or two to see the local customs and customs. Even if he didn't go to a town, he would follow the official road to see the farming conditions of the local farmers.

Tang Waning admired this very much, and praised it repeatedly from the bottom of her heart.

Unexpectedly, the paralyzed face has a high and cold look all day long, but his heart is not cold at all, and he can be said to be caring and caring for the people at the bottom.

When passing by a paddy field, he even got off his horse and rolled up his clothes and went to the field to check, his movements and postures were very skillful.

As the sun sets, his luxurious robes are incompatible with the rice fields, but they can be integrated into one when you look closely, without any sense of disobedience.

Tang Wanning, who was riding on horseback, was a little crazy.

"Tsk tsk tsk! God has no eyes. It doesn't matter if you have a good skin. You are so handsome even when you work in the field. It's a pity that it is a public one. If not..." Her eyes were bright, and there was a faint twinkle of regret.

Tang Wanning threw down her clothes and jumped off the horse, and also rolled up her clothes and came to him.

"I didn't expect you to understand this?"

"I've read relevant information at the Ministry of Households before, but I didn't have the opportunity to conduct field inspections. This time I met, I just had a chance to take a look."

"Oh!" Tang Wanning nodded.

She is dressed in a sapphire blue dress, her facial features are bright and majestic, her phoenix eyes are like gems, and her honey-colored complexion is firm and delicate, even if it is not white enough, it is enough to make people unable to move their eyes away.

"Wanwan, do you know?" Xia Houjue squinted at her, with a faint light of appreciation in his eyes.

"Of course!" Tang Wanning smiled brightly, standing on the ridge of the field gracefully, gazing at the endless paddy fields.

"At that time, there was a lack of military rations in the Northwest, and when there was not enough food and grass due to floods in the south of the Yangtze River, my father led the soldiers to open up wasteland and cultivate fields along the water source. I can't stop it..." She raised her head and laughed while talking, laughing at the stupid things she did back then.

"I didn't expect my concubine to understand this." Xia Houjue looked at her against the setting sun, and the warm light shone on her, as if her whole body would glow.

The light penetrated through his strong chest, all the way to the bottom of his heart, completely melting the heart wall that had been built high over the years, turning it into a spring of spring water flowing slowly in the bottom of his heart.

She is so beautiful, so uniquely beautiful, different from those vases in the palace.

She is so free and easy, just like his heart, if there were no incidents in the past, if he was not born in the royal family, he would probably be so free and easy.

She is really special, so special that she is like a confidant, and every word can speak to his heart.

But because of this, he was reluctant to force her.

Just like a few days ago, she said that she broke her promise, and she said she didn't want to, so he didn't force him anymore, and he didn't even enter the backyard.

If you are a towering tree, other women are vines attached to you.

Then she must be a red maple, a pine cone, or a wintersweet standing proudly beside her.

She will not be attached to others, let alone flattery, she is just her, standing in the wind and rain, experiencing everything around her, occasionally getting confused, and occasionally being lazy.

But after all, she is still that tree that is not attached to anyone, and she can be killed and cannot be humiliated.

Since it cannot be humiliated, then he will not.

"It's getting late, it's time for us to set off, and we must reach the next destination before dark!" Xia Houjue looked at her.

"En!" Tang Wanning nodded seriously, and stood side by side with him.

The two got on their horses, put on the reins and led the men, and headed towards another city and county in the setting sun.

Their movements are exactly the same, their footsteps are parallel, and even the smiles on their faces have exactly the same curvature.

Some folks say that husband and wife look like each other, and the longer the couple grows, the more they resemble each other. This is probably the case, but no one has discovered it.

……

Time flew by, they went one way after another, stopping at one stop after another.

Finally, when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching in mid-August, I rushed to Yongguan City in the northwest.

Riding on horseback and standing under the city gate, Tang Wanning burst into tears, "I never thought I would come back after more than two years!"

Her voice was choked with emotion, her chest was heaving up and down, and even her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a big warm hand rested on her shoulder, and a rich voice came out immediately.

"If you like it, Gu will often bring you back in the future." The voice was indifferent, but the words were deep and powerful.

"No need!" Tang Wanning shook her head, "I'm just feeling sad for a while, thank you Your Highness!"

It was rare for Tang Wanning not to dislike him, her attitude was respectful and rigorous, and Xia Houjue couldn't help feeling distressed again.

"Let's go!"

Tang Wanning sniffed and raised her head.

"My father said that my daughter will not cry lightly. She has gone home. I can't cry!"

Xia Houjue frowned. Although she really wanted to comfort her daughter-in-law, what the hell is it that her daughter doesn't flick her tears?

……

Entering Yongguan City, Tang Wanning was filled with emotion when looking at the familiar streets and alleys, but Xia Houjue was extremely unfamiliar.

This place is located in the northwest, whether it is the level of prosperity or the street buildings, it is far inferior to the luxury of the capital, let alone the affluence of the south of the Yangtze River.

The first sight is a piece of simple and rough low-rise residential buildings. The road surface is paved with uneven bricks and stones. Because of the long time, many of them have been broken, and the road surface is full of potholes.

Only after entering the main street, can you see several two- and three-story restaurants and inns on the side of the road. The road surface is smoother, and there are many people coming and going on the street.

"Your Highness, where are we going now?" Tang Wanning was much more low-key, and she didn't even jump out on the road.

Xia Houjue looked at her, as if he suddenly didn't recognize her, and smiled leisurely.

"What's wrong with Concubine Ai? It's like a sudden change of person, I'm not used to it anymore!"

"I..." Tang Wanning lowered her head, "It's been a long time since I came back, and I feel uncomfortable coming back suddenly."

Memories are everywhere in the streets and alleys, but she is no longer that tomboy who can joke freely, no longer the only daughter of a general who can go anywhere in the sky, no longer the person who can cry and laugh whenever she wants .

After two years, things have changed, and she dare not think about it.

"Okay!" Xia Houjue saw right through her.

"Let's go, first go to the General's Mansion to meet your father-in-law, and then go to the place you want to go in private, how about Aifei?"

Although I don't understand love, the matter of pursuing women is about the same as recruiting talents, which is nothing more than the four words of "following what one likes".

For example, if someone loves silver, he will give silver; if someone loves beauties, he will give them beauties; if someone loves power, he will decentralize power appropriately.

In this way, no matter how difficult it is to recruit a sage, he will definitely vote under his command.
