Chapter 96
"Concubine Tong and her eldest prince in the palace are like transparent people."

The family dinner, which was simpler than Lu Weimang's imagined, was over. Huo Jing said that there was a good place to show Lu Weimang, so the two of them took the revolving lantern made by Lu Weimang and walked there by the dim candle light.

Huo Jing refused Xiao Huangmen's follow, and he was the only one along the way.As the night was dark, Lu Weimang asked, remembering Concubine Tong and the eldest prince who were silent during the family banquet, as if they didn't exist.

"Your Majesty looks very kind on weekdays."

Huo Jing held Lu Weimang's hand, turned his head to look into Lu Weimang's eyes, "Your Majesty, the person who loves wants to live, and who hates wants to die. Concubine Tong made a mistake when she was young, and almost killed the queen in two." Fate, if it weren't for the unstable foundation of His Majesty at that time, there would be no Concubine Tong and the First Prince. After more than ten years, the two of them were able to reappear at the palace banquet. Attitude of redemption."

Lu Weimang listened, nodded, and lowered his eyes.

"Do you think His Majesty is cold?"

Huo Jing's voice came from above his head, the cold voice was vague in the night, Lu Weimang shook his head, "No, I think His Majesty is open-minded. If it were me, the first prince would be fine, Concubine Tong will not deal with it, I will won't give up."

Lu Weimang's voice was also faint. After saying it, he felt that in the dead of night, talking about life and death lightly seemed to violate the education he had received all along, but he found it, "But everyone's position is different, I only talk about my own. idea."

"Huh..." There was a soft snort, and Lu Weimang looked up at Huo Jing who was beside him, "You must be stubborn, if someone really betrays you, you really don't want to do it."

These words seemed to mean something, Lu Weimang explained, "It varies from person to person, I have sentenced him to death in my heart, and I will no longer be like Your Majesty, maintaining the so-called superficial harmony, and even giving him a new life." An opportunity to ease. As for life, I should not take it away at will, unless I do something unbearable."

"Are you sentenced in your own heart? But it doesn't hurt or itch to others, it's just you who are uncomfortable." The two talked while walking, and when they came to a stone step, Huo Jing pulled Lu Weimang hard, reminding her to pay attention to her feet, "It's just a little white rabbit who thinks he has a black heart."

Climbing up the stairs, he came to the palace wall to the north of the palace.In the past, when going to the Yamen, when looking up at the gate of the palace, you have to bend your head almost ninety degrees to see the palace wall completely. At that time, Lu Weimang felt that the palace wall was extremely majestic and towering.Unexpectedly, looking down from the top, it feels even more creepy and pitch-black, as if under the palace wall, in the thick night that cannot go away, hides a roaring monster with a big black mouth.

"Are you afraid of heights?"

Huo Jing asked, looking at Lu Weimang who was leaning back in fear but was leaning on the wall to look down.

"Afraid~" Lu Weimang said in fear, grabbing the wall of the city wall that was as high as her waist.

"Afraid to watch?" Huo Jing covered her eyes from behind Lu Weimang, a warm and dry feeling surrounded her, Lu Weimang subconsciously grabbed the big hand that covered his sight.

"Don't move yet." Huo Jing covered Lu Weimang with one hand, and supported Lu Weimang's shoulder with the other, making Lu Weimang turn to the east on the spot with a little force.

"Look into the distance."

As Huo Jing said, he took the hand in front of Lu Weimang's eyes. After losing his vision for a short time, when Lu Weimang saw the light again, there was a moment of confusion. Dim spots of light, big and small, clustered together, in the haze, as if seeing the lights of thousands of families that were used to in the previous life again.After blinking, the light spot showed its original shape, it turned out to be the lanterns hung high by the major mansions and businesses in Kyoto.

Because the palace wall is too high, Lu Weimang sees the capital from a bird's-eye view that she has never tried before, as if the whole capital is leaning towards her, so that she can see the whole picture of the capital clearly.

"It's spectacular, unbelievably spectacular."

The size of Kyoto made it impossible for Lu Weimang to imagine that such a majestic city existed in this age without machine cement.If the capital city can be preserved intact for future generations, it can be said to be the greatest miracle in the world, Lu Weimang thought.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Huo Jing's cold and distant voice came over, which matched the cold and dark night very well.

"Well, it's beautiful."

Lu Weimang stared at the Kyoto like a bird's-eye view without blinking.

"The first Lantern Festival in Kyoto that year, I fell in love with this place after seeing this scene. So, if I was in Kyoto, I would come here every year to see the Lantern Festival. The family reunion, the lights Brilliant, it makes people feel lonely and peaceful.”

The atmosphere was a bit unusual, Lu Weimang couldn't help but want to say something to break the atmosphere, so he turned his head, looked at Huo Jing and joked, "So this is your secret base."

"Secret base..." Huo Jing smacked the word, suddenly smiled, and looked at Lu Weimang in front of him, "From now on, this is the secret base for the two of us."

The look in Huo Jing's eyes was compelling, which made Lu Weimang feel dazzling. She turned around and looked into the distance again.

At this time, Huo Jing took a step forward, approaching Lu Weimang, wrapped a strong arm around Lu Weimang, wrapped around his neck and put his hand on Lu Weimang's right shoulder, but his breath appeared on Lu Weimang's left shoulder , Lu Weimang held her breath, froze her head and did not dare to move, she felt a little unfamiliar with this kind of physical intimacy,
"He who knows my secret is mine."

"Ha—really?" Lu Weimang was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly.Unexpectedly, Huo Jing turned her head at Lu Weimang's left shoulder and looked at Lu Weimang very close. Lu Weimang felt that the hair on her face was blown by Huo Jing's breathing, and her body became more and more stiff. Not daring to move, "Yes." Huo Jing said.

Such close contact made Lu Weimang feel more and more uncomfortable. This feeling is too strange. She has only stayed in her mother's arms once in her two lives. At this time, she is like a little white rabbit, under the gaze of the hunter. There is nowhere to hide.

"That five-story glazed palace lantern is really ostentatious, and I don't know which one it belongs to." Lu Weimang said, taking a step forward, wanting to get rid of this intimate shackles, but was circled back to the original place by the arm wrapped around his shoulders, "No Are you afraid? The wind on the city wall is strong, don’t get too close.”

Seeing that she couldn't get away, Lu Weimang felt a little helpless. She felt that her shoulders were a little stiff.

Lu Weimang stretched out his hand to hold the arm around him, moved it aside, and looked at Huo Jing who was staring at him behind him, "Your arm is thicker than my leg, and the shoulders you put on it are tired."

Lu Weimang thinks that he must be allergic to romance, right? .

"Okay." As soon as Huo Jing exerted force, Lu Weimang's hand holding Huo Jing's arm was held by him and wrapped around Lu Weimang's waist. The man was surrounded by Huo Jing in his arms.

"You can lean on me so you won't feel tired."

Lu Weimang suddenly smiled, "Okay."

Lu Weimang tried to lean his upper body against the chest of the person behind him.

In the past, Lu felt that compared with the little girl next to him, he was very rough, five big and three thick, but today in Huo Jing's arms, he felt that he seemed very petite. His shoulders felt very broad, very tough, as reliable as a mountain, and he could rest assured lean up.

"There is nothing in the court recently. If there is anything you want to do, I can go with you." Huo Jing said softly.

Lu Weimang thought for a while, "It seems that there is nothing special I want to do. I have always been a boring person. I am very satisfied if I have time to read books and drink tea every day."

"At the Imperial College, I think you are very active in studying and competing."

"Maybe it's suitable for me to hang around in the Imperial College. My teacher arranges my daily homework, study classics and history, practice riding and archery, and play games, just follow the steps. When I am alone, I will just slack off and waste my time."

"If His Majesty knows this, he will definitely beat his chest and stamp his feet. The imperial court is in the midst of employing people. He thought that the finishing work at the Qionglai Pass last year would be enough for you, so he didn't arrange any other errands for you in the past six months."

The corners of Lu Weimang's mouth curled up, "Compared to the masters of the Imperial College, Your Majesty is still too kind. I think back then, in my first year in the Imperial College, I stayed up all night until the time of day."

"I have to find an opportunity to tell His Majesty about this, and I can't let the ministers of the court be too idle."

"Hey? You can say it, don't mention that I said it. If the ministers of the court and central government know what I said, it will definitely eat my heart."

"Then you have to give me the hush money."

"Let's think about it, you don't seem to lack anything, what should I give you to seal it?"

Lu Weimang scratched his chin and thought.

"Help me tie a wishful knot, I can use it when I wear a jade pendant."

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's easy to say, although I don't know it yet, but I should be eager to learn, that is, my house is full of all kinds of knots given by Nishangge, and no one at home may be able to tie them."

I'm ashamed to say that the Lu family's life is really rough, not to mention the three big men, and even the girl Lu Weimang never does needlework on weekdays.

"Let me teach you, tomorrow I will bring the materials to Chunxi Hall."

"Isn't it good to fish with a salary? If someone sees it, read Huo Hou's book, Huo Hou will be ashamed in the court."

"They dare not."

Lu Weimang shook his head, "No, you have to concentrate in class, and you can't fish when you're on errands. How about it, after the office is over, I should be able to learn it in more than a quarter of an hour on the way you send me home."

Huo Jing seemed to be amused by Lu Weimang, his chest vibrated silently, "Okay, listen to you."

"You seem to have said before that you like to see the world's famous mountains and rivers."

Lu Weimang couldn't remember when he had said this to Huo Jing, but he nodded honestly, "I used to have this idea. When I came back from the Qionglai Pass, I suddenly felt that if I could run errands and travel around the mountains and rivers at the same time It would be great if both public and private interests are taken into account. But the road is really difficult. It would be great if the road conditions were better, or if there was a train, so that it would not be so hard, but riding a horse is also a different experience.”

"train?"

"Well, it is the kind that burns coal to generate power and takes people along. People can walk, sit and lie down in the car, read a book or take a nap nearby, and then they can arrive."

"Is there such a car? I don't seem to have heard of it."

"I looked at the Illustrated History of the Four Seas, and it seems to be written there, but I forgot the specific book."

"I'll take a look when I get a chance. If I do it, it will be easier for you to go out."

The lights of the Shangyuan Festival are intoxicating. Although the spring wind is very cold, in the cold wind, two figures leaning together, chatting with each other, the atmosphere seems to detour even the cold wind.
