A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 77 Forbidden Court (77)
I'm not going anywhere because my husband is here. (3)
She can always make his heart sore, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips, "I'm just afraid that you don't want me, more afraid than losing the country. I can't stand it anymore, and sometimes I suddenly feel very scared."

She said softly: "What's so good about me, let you miss me so much."

He curled his lips, "Because you were the first person to kiss me when I was only 13 years old."

She was a little surprised. He was talking about things in her childhood, and she couldn't remember many things clearly.Seeing that she was smiling a bit confused, he recounted the whole story, from the time when he entered Sui Kingdom to the banquet at her house.She gradually recalled that it was that time when he fell over the threshold, he helped her up, she sat on the root of an old tree, and he crouched there to bandage her.Then by coincidence, when she leaned over, he raised his head and kissed him on the bridge of the nose.Zong Hua said, "At that time your face was very red, I thought you were hot, so I fanned you hard with my sleeve..." When I was young, my feelings were pure and beautiful. It's not that easy anymore.But luckily, in fact, they didn't change much. She laughed and teased him, "You still blush easily, and when you blush, I think you're a bully."

He is known as a strict king, and he thinks he is easy to bully. She is the only one in the world!He smiled shyly, "I don't care about being bullied by you, as long as you stay by my side."

Her departure was a nightmare for him, and he still has lingering fears, and it may be difficult for him to get rid of this shadow for a long time.A person who loves deeply will always appear humble, he has no dignity at all in front of her, he doesn't ask for anything else, just keep her, everything else can be discussed.

Of course she understood, she was also like him, trembling with fear, walking on thin ice.Worried that happiness is too short-lived, and I don't know what kind of dilemma I will face tomorrow.So seize the moment, be happy when you are happy, and don't want to worry about anything.

She said: "Let's run! Let's run, maybe we will be warm."

Then two people suddenly jumped out from the quiet Gongchen gate, dressed in brocade clothes, running forward blindly, and the hairpin rings fell all over the ground.Occasionally, the cold wind choked my throat, and my eyes filled with tears, but they dried up in an instant, and the smile on my face was still fresh.

A few little yellow men were stunned behind, they squatted down and picked up the jewelry on the ground and put it in their palms, they said in surprise, "Isn't that Queen Li?"

"Is the female Taoist wrong?" They looked at each other in blank dismay.

The elder Gao Ban looked at him with his sleeves pushed up, clicked his tongue and said, "Abolition and establishment are just a matter of a word from the government. You can't be favored, and you can't eat with a golden seal."

This time, Lujing sent people to Yanfu Palace early to spread the word, and a kang was burned in the Ruizhu Palace, and when the empress arrived, the room was already like spring.

Hurriedly entering the door, my hands and feet were freezing cold before, and my nose itched when it was warm, and I couldn't stop sneezing.After a turmoil, I couldn't figure out the southeast, north, south, and west. Lu Jing passed a hot towel aside, "Saint, wipe it quickly. If you listen to the minister's advice, Chengyu will not be frozen like this. The minister ordered them to burn another pot of charcoal, the saint Warm up by the fire, don't catch the wind and cold."

She waved her hand and said no need, "It's very warm in the hall, my body is not cold, but my nose is itchy." She turned to look at Imakami, "Isn't the official house itchy? Huh? Not itchy?"

She went to grab his nose, but he hurriedly dodged, "I'm fine, I don't feel itchy at all... Record the scene, go see if the fishing rod is ready, and there are baits..."

Lu Jing hurriedly responded and took the opportunity to escape.

Speaking of Yan Er's newly-married, it will officially start from today.When two people are alone, looking at each other and smiling, there will be an inexplicable feeling of shyness.Sitting facing each other, with her hand resting on his knee, he stretched out and held her, and said with a smile, "Are you really going to go fishing? The lake is cold, and it's covered with thick ice. You need a chisel to cut a hole." fishing hole."

"I'm not afraid of the cold, so I just want to walk on the ice. Jian'an is not as good as Bianliang, and there is less snow in winter. Although the lake is frozen, it is very thin, and a stone can break it." She looked up at him, "If the officials are afraid of the cold, they can just walk away and stop fishing."

She has an elegant mood, and he must not spoil her interest, no matter how cold it is, he just said: "I also like fishing in winter, sitting on the ice, and it will be even better if there is some snow."

She didn't speak, got up and walked to the window to look outside, a wintersweet plant outside the hall was in full bloom, the wind blew past, and the small buds trembled on the branch.

Fishing was going to be in the second half of the day, and after lunch, the two of them lay down on each other, each holding a book, a very rare leisure time.Yun Hua's face was calm, but he couldn't let it go. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Guan, where did the army attack?"

"I've already passed Jiangzhou." Talking about the war between them really hurt their feelings.He is attacking her homeland, even though Queen Mother Guo and Emperor Jian have little kinship with her and even use her, after all Jian'an is her hometown, she must still care about it.

She was really startled, and murmured: "It's not far away, there are still more than 1000 miles. If we attack Jian'an, will we slaughter the city?"

He said no, "Before the general went out to fight, I had a verbal order that no burning or killing, no looting of property, and no adultery with wives and daughters were allowed. I raised my troops for the sake of unity, not to capture slaves."

She half-understood, made a long oh, and turned sideways.But by coincidence, the sky really changed in the second half of the day, and it began to snow lightly and sparsely.She leaned on the window sill and whispered, "The officials really want things to come true, look, it's snowing!" She hurriedly leaned forward and shouted, "Bring an umbrella, we're going out now."

Today was dragged out by her, and the two of them dressed up under the eaves, and went to the lake with their fishing rods on their shoulders.

The lake in Yanfu Palace is a natural lake, which was enclosed when the palace was first built. The lake is very large, and a water pavilion is built in the center of the lake. A straight corridor leads to the front, and there is a wild thatched pavilion at the other end.It was snowing, the surroundings were barren, and the water surface was gray. Judging by the thickness of the ice layer, people could already walk on it.She was very happy and pulled him forward. Both of them were wearing coir raincoats and their bodies were bloated. At first glance, they really looked like fishermen.

He smiled and asked her to slow down, and put the things down in the thatched pavilion, because they didn't bring the yellow gate, and they had to do it themselves to dig holes and bait.He went down with the shovel and knocked all around with the handle. The sound was solid and there was no fault.Then he picked a place and started digging. He was startled when he heard her scream in the flying ice.Looking up, she rolled her sleeves and pinched the earthworm, her cheeks flushed.

"Hey, I'm so scared!" She jumped under the thatched pavilion, banging the boards.But while being afraid, he still put the earthworm on the hook.Lujing told her that earthworms are the best bait, better than dough, and can catch any fish.

He stood at the bottom and smiled, "If you're afraid, just let it go and let me do it."

She didn't want to, so she took the courage to finish it, and raised the hook proudly, "Hurry up, I'll just wait for you."

He stepped up and finally cut out a hole the size of a basin.The ice layer was two feet thick, and the water underneath was slightly rippling, so dark that it was hard to see clearly.The small horses were set up, the fishhooks were taken off and the umbrellas were sitting side by side. Looking into the distance, there was silence between the sky and the earth, only fine snow foam whirled and fluttered in the wind. There was no place where there were no people, and it seemed that there was no dust.

She squinted at him from time to time, he was sitting upright, she put her shoulders on him, "It's not in the Zichen Palace, are you looking toward me?"

He raised a finger to his lips, "Be quiet, don't scare the fish away."

She pouted. "But I want to talk to you."

He turned his head to look at her, and squinted his eyes, which were full of warmth that couldn't be melted away.What should I do, I want to fish and talk at the same time.After thinking about it, he moved the fishing line to the middle of the fishing rod. The fishing rod lay across the opening of the hole. If there was a fish biting the hook, at least the rod would not be dragged away.As for whether you can catch fish, that's another story.

After he finished dealing with it, he fluttered his hands, "Okay, shall we take a walk?"

She spontaneously came up to hold his arm, and walked slowly on the ice, fearing that she would slip, so she walked very carefully.

"Will it fall into the ice hole?"

He said no, "unless you're very unlucky."

She touched the ice with her toes, and said softly: "Have you heard the story of lying on the ice and begging for a carp? I think stepmothers can be filial. No matter how incompetent a biological mother is, they are always connected by blood." She paused. Bu Zi put his hand into his coir raincoat, "Guan, I've been hesitating for a long time. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't muster up the courage."

He nodded and said, "Tell me, you have nothing to hide from me, just say whatever you think."

She bit her lip and paused for a while before saying: "About my mother and Gao Fei...the two countries are at war, if I beg you to withdraw your troops, it is impossible, and I know it. I only ask you to spare Guo when the city is broken." The Empress Dowager and Emperor Jian, they are my relatives, so I will save their lives anyway. Officials, since you and I are husband and wife, I only ask you for this one thing, will you promise me?"

She was about to cry as she spoke, and he stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.The coir raincoat was too big to fit in her arms, so she folded her arms and said, "As long as Gao Fei surrenders and makes him a prince, he will be well clothed and well fed as before, and your mother can enjoy her old age in peace. After all, you are here, so it's not easy to refute your face. I thought about it a long time ago, so I don’t need you to beg me. I see that you are absent-minded all the time, is that for this reason?” He smiled, “So stupid! I know it’s powerful, if you kill them, can you forgive me?”

She breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Wang said: "If I can't do this, I will doubt how much your feelings for me are true."

He froze for a moment, sucked her lips hard with a cold face, and said vaguely: "Don't doubt it... I just left my life to you."

She still had something to say, but was gagged by him, struggling to whine.After finally moving him away, she said with a blushing face, "Speak well, my mind is messed up after kissing."

He was amused by her appearance, and when he finished laughing, he said with a straight face, "If you want to be serious, let's talk about the situation in Sui Kingdom. Gao Fei is not a gentleman, he is not thorough enough, nor ruthless enough. After all, he is still young, only 16 years old in Chinese New Year, right? After the death of Emperor Chong, he was hurriedly pushed to the throne. Those who assisted him had their own thoughts. Most of the prime ministers and ministers were moths. Orphans and widows were nothing in their eyes. It's just a cover, how many people really surrender to them? If things go on like this, even if there is no big battle, there will be conflicts within Sui Kingdom. At that time, the palace will be forced to seize the throne, and if it falls into the hands of others, the end may be [-] times worse. I'm not trying to scare you, It’s not like pretending to be a good person in front of you, and telling the truth. You only see singing and dancing, and you have never seen the cruelty of politics. Last time Yunguan launched a coup, I expected it long ago, so I was prepared. It’s Gao Fei , The generals inside and outside the imperial city, how many caring people does he have? How many people are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect him when disaster strikes?"

He said so much, just to explain to her that Gao Fei's country is not stable, and without him, others will usurp it.She didn't understand those things, anyway, the Yue army was about to attack Jian'an, the deal was done, all she had to do was protect Queen Mother Guo and Gao Fei.As for the others, her ability is limited and she can't control so much.

"Since the officials promised me, they must do it. In fact, the country is nothing to me. When I was in Sui, I was just a commoner. If I fight for my life, I don't care who is the emperor. The official family is my lord, and I marry and follow my husband. There is no room for me to comment on the lord's great career. I just feel sorry for those compatriots who drink the same river with me, and my mother and younger brother. I don't know if they have I don’t take me as a relative, but I still miss them in my heart. I still remember the scene when my father passed away. He didn’t want to tell me the truth about my mother. He just told me over and over again how they loved each other and how he missed them. She..." With tears in her eyelashes, she looked at him sadly and said, "I don't do it for anything else, just because of my father's feelings for her. Officials, I didn't understand before, how can I love someone so deeply? Now that I have experienced it, I love my father more and more. When he left, the only thing that gave me a little comfort was that he could finally go to my mother, but later I found that he was always alone. Lonely."

She couldn't stop crying, he could only try to comfort her, "So don't repeat the tragedy of the previous generation on us, we must be together forever and never separate."

"But I'm a little scared. I always feel that there will be no tomorrow after today. Maybe I will be like my father, waiting for someone and spending my whole life." This kind of inexplicable panic often lingers in her heart, and she has never been able to say it before. Exit, now I finally expressed it, and when I think about it again, the more I think about it, the more panic I feel.

It turned out that the two people felt the same, and they couldn't settle down in their hearts, and they didn't know why.He was eager to break the deadlock, and said with a more serious tone: "I am the emperor, and I said that we will not separate, and no one can separate us. Now as long as you are firm, there will be no change between us."

She bowed her head and said, "I have nowhere to go, are you still afraid that I will get lost?"

He thought about it and smiled happily.Turning around to look at the ice cave, she tapped the tip of her nose and said, "Why do you want to come out to fish? It's just to bring up the topic of lying on the ice and begging for carp. If you have something to say, just talk about it. Why bother to make such a big circle with me!"

She must not admit it, turned around and said in a long voice, "I really want to eat broiled fish, so I didn't go around with you." Suddenly seeing the fishing rod being dragged, she hurriedly pointed it over, "Look, officials, a big fish!" fish!"

The two hurriedly ran over. In the icy and snowy place, their hands were almost numb from the cold, and it took a lot of effort to get it up. It was a catfish that weighed a pound.She cheered happily, and came to pick up the fish basket, the snow flakes hit her face, she blinked hard, and she was so happy that she couldn't describe it.

As long as she was happy, he thought it was worthwhile to do anything, but it was getting late and the snow was getting heavier, so it was time to go back.Packing up the fishing gear and walking back, she held the fish basket tightly and went back to the Ruizhu Hall to remind her that this catfish was not allowed to be slaughtered.He wondered: "Don't eat broiled fish anymore?"

She hummed, squatted in front of the basin to watch the fish swim, and murmured: "I caught this with the official family, it is very memorable. Just keep it like this, don't kill it."

If you don't kill it, you don't kill it. Of course, you can still eat broiled fish.On the low couch under the window was an ebony table with a small red clay stove for warming a pot of wine and setting out some dishes.After taking a shower, I changed into pajamas and sat down, enjoying the snow scenery while drinking. It was quite relaxing.

Zihua couldn't drink wine, so she drank plum water on the mat, but the smell of wine on the stove could also make her dizzy.Looking at her dazedly and cutely, she took chopsticks and dipped the rose dew on her lips, she smacked like a child, licked with the tip of her tongue, her red lips were delicate and attractive.

He couldn't look away, and gradually became impatient, he threw his chopsticks and came to hug her.She put her arms softly on his neck and called him Mr. Wang in a soft voice.

The windows are wide open, which doesn't seem to be a good place here.He picked her up and led her into the apse.There are many curtains in the hall, which are lowered layer by layer, and the sleeping hall is a small and narrow space.He covered her body and licked her earlobe, "Are you drunk?"

Her jade arms were raised high, and the willow waist was twisted underneath, which looked like a snake, "No, it's a bit hot, the officials blow it off..."

He laughed. Such a person is between a child and a woman when acting like a baby.He blew on her neck, and she smiled and said, "It's so cool!" Her face was flushed, she looked really drunk.
