Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 316 Want to get it, there must be a sacrifice

Ye Song narrowed his sleepy eyes, nodded and smiled.Then he looked at the sky and said: "It looks like a sunny day, and there was no sign of rain last night."

Su Ruoqing walked past the window and said, "It's still early, I'll take you up the mountain after breakfast."

The pine forest on the back mountain is evergreen in middle age.

Su Ruoqing took Ye Song's hand and led her into the depths of the forest.The ground is covered with layers of soft and moist fallen leaves, and when you step on it, it is full of dew.From time to time, small animals in the forest rushed past quickly, as if a stranger broke in suddenly, which made them feel surprised and uneasy.

She still remembered the direction Ye Song walked and the slope of the ground.Su Ruoqing was like this in the past, holding her hand and walking through the woods.

After passing through the pine forest, there is no deep forest with towering ancient trees behind.Su Ruoqing and Ye Song stopped under a tall and tall tree. She looked up and heard Su Ruoqing say, "Do you still remember this place?"

"of course I remember."

He once took her here to watch the sunrise, and he once accompanied her to fall from the top of the tree, and fell to the ground together, startling the thousands of fallen leaves.She also found out for the first time here that she liked the man around her a little bit.

Right now, Su Ruoqing hugged her waist, kicked her feet on the ground, jumped up, and continued to use her strength on the tree trunk to climb up and fly up.Following Su Ruoqing's movements, the tree trunk trembled slightly, the rustling of the leaves sounded very pleasant, and countless shaken morning dew fell like raindrops, dripping on Ye Song's skin, giving off bursts of coolness. He couldn't help but bend his eyes, and looked at Su Ruoqing's face who was holding her. He could only see his handsome and extraordinary half profile, and a smile on his lips.

Su Ruoqing took her to the highest branch of the tree and stopped.He carefully placed Ye Song on the branch and sat down beside her slowly.Ye Song lowered his head and looked down. He was so tall that he felt that the whole tree was shaking slightly.Su Ruoqing took Ye Song into his arms, hugged her and said, "You shouldn't look at the bottom, you should look at the front."

Ye Song raised his head and looked ahead, his field of vision was very wide, as if he was in a huge valley in front of him, beyond the villa and a lake in front, surrounded by mountains and trees.In the hollow valley in the middle, the white mist has not dissipated, and it looks like a small piece of snow-white cloud sea.

Ye Song's mood also opened up.A golden glow appeared on the horizon, gradually gilding the small sea of ​​clouds.The clouds are getting brighter and redder, and the whole earth has a beaming luster.

Ye Song and Su Ruoqing didn't say a word, they both waited patiently.

Finally, a ray of light broke through the layers of clouds and mist, and shot out from the distant and vast mountain depression, which immediately brightened people's eyes, and felt that the world was brightened up.

Sunrise.

A round of rising sun is slowly rising, which is the most beautiful and purest scene.The magnificence of nature, at this moment, nothing can compare to, people will only appear small and eclipsed in front of this.

The crystal clear morning dew on the leaves, under the reflection of the morning light, rolls on the leaves, and finally falls silently, reflecting the light.The entire forest slowly began to wake up, with insects singing and birds singing, accompanied by the fragrance of grass and trees.

Ye Song squinted his eyes, his golden pupils were extraordinarily beautiful.However, this sunrise was still somewhat different from what she had imagined.Late autumn is not as good as midsummer, the sun is not so crimson, but the whole is dazzling golden.

She prefers the quiet and gentle crimson summer, and then it burns slowly like a fire that has just risen, and then releases the scorching temperature.That process was perfect.

Su Ruoqing seemed to know what Ye Song was thinking, and said, "The sun looks bright, but it's not very warm when it shines on people. Ah Song, I'll take you to watch the sunrise next summer, okay?"

Ye Song narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Okay, if there is a chance."

Ye Song and Su Ruoqing sat on the tree for a long time, waiting for the sunrise to pop out completely, and when Ye Song stretched out his fingertips, the fingertips gradually gathered a trace of elusive warmth.The morning dew on the leaves has been evaporated, and the voices of the birds in the forest are becoming more and more cheerful.

"Can you tell me what kind of person you were before I knew you?" Ye Song turned to look at Su Ruoqing.

Su Ruoqing raised her eyebrows slightly, thought for a while before saying: "It's a long story."

Ye Song said, "I want to hear about you in other colors besides pure white."

Su Ruoqing remained silent for a while with his hands on his forehead, and said, "Maybe you won't like it. Before I became the emperor, I was a prince who had no power, and my father thought I was too soft-hearted. The best of the five brothers is the second brother. The empress mother loves the seventh brother the most. To get to where I am today, it takes a lot of power struggles and ruthless tactics. Supreme power is the best way to change a person’s situation, and no one does not yearn for it , especially those who are at a low point and are struggling to turn around."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Ye Song could almost imagine that political intrigue must be cruel, otherwise it would be fish on someone else's chopping board.Ye Song asked: "Then did you sacrifice a lot?"

Su Ruoqing said: "More, God is fair to everyone, if you get something, you will definitely lose something of equal value."

The sun was rising gradually, and the surroundings were shrouded in thin, bright warmth. Ye Song said to Su Ruoqing, "Ruoqing, let's go back."

Su Ruoqing's arms tightened around Ye Song's waist, and he pressed her down unexpectedly, and the two of them fell straight from the top of the tree.The scenery on both sides of the corners of her eyes passed very quickly. Ye Song opened her eyes wide, and the hair at the back of her head was flying upwards. She quietly looked at Su Ruoqing's focused face, and the forest in the past as if watching the excitement. bird.

Su Ruoqing opened his mouth and seemed to say a word, but he couldn't make out what he said. He lowered his eyes, slowly lowered his head, and lightly touched Ye Song's slightly cool lips.The timing was just right, and it was about to end, Su Ruoqing stepped on the tree trunk with both feet, and after a few tumblings, he landed smoothly, holding Ye Song firmly in his arms.

In the evening of the next day, Su Ruoqing personally sent Ye Song back to the General's Mansion.

At that time, it was dusk, and there was only the last light of sunset in the alley, which reflected the walls on both sides deeply and beautifully, and the weeds growing in the cracks of the walls swayed gently in the wind.

Ye Song jumped out of the carriage, brushed his long hair that got into his neck, and walked forward step by step with his hands behind his back.Su Ruoqing only half lifted the curtain of the car and watched her quietly.

At this time, Ye Qing and Miss Ying in the mansion heard that Ye Song was back, and they all ran to the door to greet him.When Miss Ying saw the carriage parked at the door, her face immediately collapsed, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Ye Song walked up the steps and flicked Miss Ying on the forehead, and Miss Ying hugged her head and yelled twice.She squinted her eyes and smiled calmly, turned her head to look at the carriage that hadn't left and Su Ruoqing who was sitting in the carriage, and said, "I'm here, you go back."

Su Ruoqing nodded to her, and then slowly lowered the curtain.The carriage turned around in front of the slightly narrow door, and slowly drove away in the direction it came and went.

Miss Ying asked: "Sister Ye, are you okay? He just picked you up to play?"

Ye Song said "hmm" and stepped into the door. Miss Ying said again: "What about Brother Su, he came to look for you, did you see him? He should be the one who sent you back, why didn't you see him?" What about others?"

Ye Song paused for a moment, collected his expression, and said, "I've never seen him before."

When Su Ruoqing returned to the palace, it was already dark.The lamps under the eaves of the palace lit up one by one, and the promenade he was walking on was illuminated to the end by the lamps.

He went straight to the imperial study room, but before he arrived, the father-in-law who usually served by his side greeted him, and said with a sigh: "Oh, your majesty, you are back. During the day and night you were away, the Prime Minister knew, and now I have been waiting in the imperial study room for a long time. Please forgive me, the servant made a good idea to let Xiang Ye sit in the imperial study room, otherwise his old bones will not be able to stand for a long time..."

Su Ruoqing quickened her pace, and after a while, she was in front of the imperial study room and said, "Go and serve tea to Master Xiang."

"Yes." The father-in-law responded and went down to prepare.

Su Ruoqing pushed the door open and entered, the bright light in the imperial study seemed like daylight.The incense in the censer was not lit because he had not been in the imperial study all day, but there was still a trace of cold fragrance in the air.He saw Li Xiang at a glance, sitting not far from the desk.Several stacks of memorials were piled up on the desk. At this moment, Li Xiang did not expect that Su Ruoqing would suddenly come back without a word at this moment, holding a memorial in his hand, as if he had read half of it.

Su Ruoqing said without distinguishing between emotions and anger: "Teacher has worked so hard for the Beixia Jiangshan community. Now that I am old and still can't rest from the heavy responsibility on my shoulders, I am not very pleased."

Facing civil and military officials in court, Su Ruoqing treated Li Xiang equally, and only in private, Su Ruoqing called Li Xiang "teacher".Li Xiang once had the kindness to teach him, and he was also the Minister Gu Ming who witnessed him sitting on the throne.

It stands to reason that Li Xiang's position in the court cannot be shaken.

However, when Li Xiang heard Su Ruoqing's nonchalant words, and looked up to see Su Ruoqing's neither sad nor happy expression, he couldn't help trembling violently, and the memorial in his hand almost fell on the ground. on the ground.He hurriedly bowed and said: "The old minister sees the emperor. Just now this memorial was dropped on the ground, and the old minister was picking it up for the emperor. It is the old minister who has overstepped the rules by arguing and taking the lead. Please punish the emperor."

Su Ruoqing picked up Li Xiang and said, "Teacher is serious. Since things are as the teacher said, shouldn't I be grateful to the teacher?"
