Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 874 Tangquan Palace

As Chu Ruoyan said, although it is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an City, it is already snowing on Lishan Mountain.

The Tangquan Palace surrounded by mountains was carved by a thin layer of falling snow into a crystal clear and more elegant scenery. Several surrounding peaks were gradually covered with snow, and even the steep and rugged peaks became warmer. Everything is as blurry as a dream.

However, on Xixiuling, there were colorful flags fluttering and figures swaying, outlining a winding road up the mountain.

That was when the emperor led a team of troops to climb Xixiuling, but they stopped only halfway up the mountain. Because the wind was strong and cold, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Eunuch Yu persuaded him for a long time, and Yu Wenyuan just said He stopped to rest in a pavilion halfway up the mountain, panting and laughing: "I'm old, I'm old."

"emperor,"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice with a bit of squeamishness and resentment sounded out. It was Jieyu Zhang Yuping who was accompanying him. She held on to the pillar of the pavilion with one hand and gasped: "The emperor is walking like this." Come on, I have to leave my concubine behind."

Yu Wenyuan laughed, stretched out his hand to wave to her, Zhang Yuping immediately stepped forward to hold his hand, sat down next to him, and then said angrily: "In just a few steps, the emperor took my concubine." You are so far behind, and the emperor still calls you old? This is not the emperor lying to himself, but the emperor coaxing his concubine!"

Hearing this, Yu Wenyuan burst out laughing.

Seeing him smile, Zhang Yuping fell into his arms. As if he felt a little chill on her body, Yu Wenyuan stretched out his hand and gathered the loose robe around her body, and the two of them snuggled tightly together.

However, he didn't say anything to Zhang Yuping. Instead, he turned his head and looked down at the mountain road he came from. Then he looked along the mountain road towards the Tangquan Palace at the foot of the mountain, which was decorated with crystal clear snow. Then he looked up at the surrounding mountains. Overlapping peaks, green mist and clear mist, the majesty and splendor have a fantasy feeling like a fairyland, I can't help but see the God.

Eunuch Yu on the side had ordered someone to bring the stove as soon as he sat down. It was a pavilion with ventilation from all sides, and the wind was blowing and the snow was heavy. Except for the top of his head, there was no shelter around him. If there was nothing warm around him, , I'm afraid the emperor is about to catch a cold.

After putting it on the stove, he stepped aside with his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you'd better go back early."

Yu Wenyuan said impatiently: "I'm just going to go out for a walk. You've been nagging me all the way."

"I don't dare. It's just that the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no shelter here. The wind is strong and it is easy to catch a cold. If the snow blocks the road again when we go down the mountain-"

"I won't leave, I just want to see how heavy the snow is."

Yu Wenyuan was in such good spirits that he actually got angry with him. Zhang Yuping glanced back, and Eunuch Yu could only smile and bow repeatedly. Seeing him like this, Yu Wenyuan laughed again, looked around again, and said: "The scenery here is so beautiful, you can't see it in the palace."

Eunuch Yu thought for a while and immediately smiled and said: "The scenery here is naturally good, otherwise, how could the emperor have been here for six days and still not get tired of it."

"Six days?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyuan seemed to be slightly startled: "Has it been six days since I came to Tangquan Palace?"

Eunuch Yu said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Chang'an sends news every other day, and this is the third time today."

Zhang Yuping rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Although I have sent news three times, fortunately it is nothing major. Yu Mingli, please don't disturb His Majesty's interest with trivial matters."

Eunuch Yu glanced at her and said, "Yes."

Although it was a "little thing", Yu Wenyuan's eyes gradually became clearer in the falling snow. He looked around again. The scenery was indeed good and made people linger, but for an emperor, lingering was too much. Half a day was enough, so he let go of Zhang Yuping's hand, stood up with his hands on his knees, and said, "Let's go back to Tangquan Palace first to warm up."

Eunuch Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Yes!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and directed the people staying outside the pavilion. Someone had already rushed ahead to clean up the fallen snow on the road. Yu Wenyuan took Zhang Yuping and walked down the mountain along the way he came.

After walking for half a day, we returned to Tangquan Palace.

There are heaters everywhere in the palace here. As soon as he walked in the door, he felt a warm breeze blowing towards his face. It was as if he had returned to spring. Yu Wenyuan's mind, which had just been sober just now, was suddenly warmed by this warmth again. As soon as his mind was immersed, he became a little dazed again.

Just as he was walking forward slowly, he saw people standing in front of him, saluting him respectfully.

Taking a closer look, the person at the forefront of the crowd was Crown Prince Yu Wenxin, and the two slim figures beside him were Crown Princess Yu Mingyue and the other was Crown Prince Liangdilou Chanyue.

Yu Wenyuan walked over and asked: "Lou Liangdi is here too?" Lou Chanyue still kept bending down to salute, as if she didn't dare to say anything, but Yu Wenyuan raised his head and said: "It has started to snow these days, and the roads are wet. "Hua, it's hard for my father to return to Chang'an, but soaking in the hot springs all the time is not good for your health, so I asked Chan Yue to prepare some songs and dances to relieve my father's boredom."

A look of surprise appeared on Yu Wenyuan's face.

This surprise was not because he had asked people to prepare songs and dances for him, but because he had asked people to prepare songs and dances for him. His son, who did not want to live in the world, even wanted to have a home, and wanted to travel around and practice, even if he returned to his Around him, even if he helped him win Chang'an without bloodshed, even if he recaptured the Land of Longxing, even if he was canonized as a prince, even if he married a princess, he still had the illusion that he would turn into a white cloud and float away at any time.

It seemed that it was only at this time that he truly returned to the mortal world.

A joyful smile appeared on Yu Wenyuan's face and he said: "Okay, okay."

Yu Wenzuo added: "My son built a high platform next to the Lotus Pond and let people dance here. My father does not need to soak in the hot spring, but he can still feel the warmth of the hot spring. This is good for the dragon's body."

Yu Wenyuan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, it's up to you."

So, Yu Wenxin and Lou Chanyue accompanied him and turned around and walked towards the west hall where the Furong Pond was located. However, Yu Mingyue's steps slowed down a little. Looking at Lou Chanyue who was following Yu Wenxin with a smile on her face, her eyes flashed. There was a chill.

After a while, everyone entered the west hall.

This is what he said before. The newly discovered hot spring here at Tangquan Palace was originally an abandoned palace. During the cleaning, extremely clear spring water emerged from the ground. So the Ministry of Industry immediately ordered that the palace A palace was rebuilt on the old site. Although it is not very luxurious, it is clean and elegant. Moreover, the heat of the spring water is higher than that of several other springs. Even if you are not soaking in the spring, you can feel it just sitting in this palace. The mellow warmth is actually more comforting than the dry fire from the stoves placed everywhere in the palace.

Now, Yu Wenzu had people build a high platform behind the Furong Pond. The upper and lower floors were decorated with blue, white, and black silk brocades. At a glance, it was obvious that it was an illusion of the heaven, the human world, and the underworld.

As soon as Yu Wenyuan sat on the couch on the other side of Furong Pond, he heard a melodious flute sound coming from the side halls on both sides.

As the flute sounded, a group of gorgeously dressed dancers stepped onto the high platform to the sound of music. Each of them had colorful hair and jingle rings. They were graceful and beautiful. In addition, in the hibiscus pool under the high platform, the milky white steam emanated from the spring. It keeps rising, with shadows and clouds and mist, just like a fairy coming to the world. Just after they completely climbed onto the high platform, the bells and drums on both sides of the west hall rang together, and the rumbling music accompanied the graceful figures of the dancers, which immediately attracted Yu Wenyuan.

He opened his eyes wide and focused on the graceful figure on the high platform, forgetting everything for a moment.

Yu Wenzhen glanced at Yu Wenyuan, stood up silently, and said with a smile when passing by Eunuch Yu: "Eunuch, it's rare that my father is in such a good mood, so don't let anyone disturb him."

Eunuch Yu glanced at him and said with a smile, "I understand."

Yu Wenzhen nodded and quietly exited the Lotus Pond. As soon as he walked out of the west hall, he saw snow falling in front of him. Although it was not yet evening, the sky was already a little dark because of the heavy clouds, but there were bright lights in front of him. , several ministers, their families and guards stood outside the hall, all looking up at this side.

As soon as they saw him approaching, everyone who was whispering something fell silent.

Yu Wenzhen walked forward with a smile. Before he even raised his hand, everyone was already bowing to him and saluting: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Only then did Yu Wenzuo raise his hand and said: "My lords, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."

Everyone then slowly stood up, and the one at the forefront of the crowd was Shen Shiyan, the Minister of Public Affairs. His beard and hair were gray, and he stood outside the palace for half a day. The falling snow on his head and shoulders made him look even more aged. He said respectfully: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will come to see your Majesty."

Yu Wen smiled and said: "Master Shen, is there anything important you want to see my father?"

Shen Shiyan said: "It has been several days since I came to Tangquan Palace to recuperate due to His Majesty's grace. Isn't it time to return to Beijing?"

Yuwen said in surprise: "But my father is not ready to go back yet."

Shen Shiyan frowned, turned around and looked at Pei Shi who was standing next to him. Pei Shi immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the country cannot live without a king for a day. Your Majesty -"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wenzhen had already said with a smile: "It's rare for my father to be so elegant. All of you are old friends who have followed him for many years. You also know that he has been working hard and sleeping hard all these years. It's rare that he can be in this state. Relax here and don’t disturb his enjoyment at this time, okay?”

The last two words, as a prince saying this, are already an invisible pressure.

Everyone looked at each other and finally did not dare to say anything. They could only retreat and say: "I'll wait, I understand."

Yuwen smiled and said: "Since you have arrived at Tangquan Palace, why don't you take this opportunity to take a good rest and take care of yourself. Maybe when you return to Chang'an, there will be many things waiting for you to deal with."
