Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 157 What is Merlin's provocation?

Suying's face became hot, she bowed her knees and bowed her head to answer "Yes" in a low voice, then turned and went back.

The warmth of his palm wrapped around his hand, Gu Qinghua's heart warmed, and he smiled at him with brimming eyes, Su Jun's heart warmed, and he raised his hand to smooth the soft and smooth white velvet on her neckline.

The two walked along the promenade for a while, passed through the imperial garden, and talked about going to the plum grove next to Shuying Pavilion.

It snowed heavily all night, and the blossoming red plums on the branches were covered with strings of bright and crystal-clear ice and snow, revealing a touch of bright red carmine color in the crystal clear, white snow and red plums complement each other, which is extraordinarily unique.The branches are interlaced and intertwined, and the outer layer is covered with crystal-like ice edges, which are dazzling like crystals from a distance.

The cloaks worn by Gu Qinghua and Su Jun, one with moon-white silver thread flowing cloud flower patterns, and the other with silver-white bamboo leaf dark patterns, are almost integrated when walking in the plum forest like a world of glazed glass, which is not very conspicuous.

As the wind blows, the powdery white snow particles rustle and fall, and the lingering dark fragrance lingers around and enters the nose, with a cold and refreshing fragrance.There was silence all around, so quiet that the sound of falling flowers could be heard.

The years are quiet and good, is that what you said?

Neither of them spoke, for fear that if they spoke, this rare tranquility would be broken.

Standing still under an old plum plant nearly four meters high, looking up, I saw strong branches, black as a dragon, intertwined branches like umbrellas, full of trees and flowers drooping, and white snow, more and more beautiful. Seeing vigorous and charming, soft and rigid, it seems to be the best combination.

Su Junxin twirled a plum blossom the size of a copper coin, blew off the shallow snow particles on the petals, and carefully pinned the flower on Gu Qinghua's temple. He rested his hands on her shoulders and looked at her carefully, as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world. His glazed eyes were warm and affectionate, and there was a gentle smile on his lips. He leaned over, and his cold lips brushed her cold forehead, and when they touched her, a sense of warmth rose from it. "Qing'er is so beautiful!" He praised with a low laugh.

Gu Qinghua lowered his head slightly, his cheeks were slightly hot, and they were condensed into a light rouge color by the wind.It wasn't the first time he kissed her, nor was it the first time he praised her, but he still suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Qing'er has worked hard these days." Su Jun smiled softly, "I never thought before that Qing'er can act so well!"

Gu Qinghua raised his head involuntarily, with a pair of Jianshuiqiu pupils shining brightly, looking at him with a sweet smile: "That's because you arranged it well! Otherwise, this matter would not have gone so smoothly. I just don't know if I can really deceive old thief Mu."

"Don't worry," Su Jun said, "I'm afraid it may not be true to say that he has no suspicion at all, but he can't find anything."

Gu Qinghua's heart was a little wider. After a long talk with Prince Li, she and Su Jun decided on this plan after several discussions. Step by step, she was cautious, but in the end she was moving forward step by step. Before long, the pace will become more urgent, and then, unexpectedly——

"The next step may not be easy." The brilliance in Gu Qinghua's eyes sank, and the deep eyes could not see the bottom.

"When everything is over, Qing'er, go to the northern border with your husband, okay?" Su Jun smiled, deliberately diverted the topic, and said with a cheerful smile: "The scenery in the northern border is different from that in the capital. Southern Xinjiang is also different. There is sea in southern Xinjiang, and grasslands and deserts as big as sea in the north. The lakes on the grasslands are bluer than the color of the sea, as blue as the sky melted into them, while the majestic and vast deserts, Everyone who has seen it is shocked by it. If Qinger saw it, she would definitely be shocked too!"

Gu Qinghua smiled sweetly, nodded and said: "Okay, after the world is peaceful, let's go together, take me to the place where you lived, and see the different scenery of the desert!"

Su Jun didn't feel emotional, he held her tightly in his arms, and said happily: "Qing'er, there will be such a day!"

Gu Qinghua leaned on his chest, his star eyes half closed, yes, there will definitely be such a day, and this day is obviously not far away!The struggle between the two parties has gradually surfaced and is clearly visible. It won't be long before even if one of the parties wants to cover it up, it won't be able to!

The two hugged each other, their warm breaths were intertwined, and each other's heartbeats were slow and powerful, and they were heard in each other's ears, like a reassuring pill.

How rare it is to have such a person by your side from the beginning to the end!

In the silence, there was a sudden burst of small footsteps, Gu Qinghua's body trembled slightly, and his mind was instantly clear.He raised his head from Su Jun's arms, with questioning eyes.

Su Jun squeezed her hand hard, and the two quietly hid themselves behind a dense plum tree next to them.

The sound of footsteps stepping on the snow became a little clearer, and the voice of speaking was also carried by the wind.

"I heard that the emperor's husband is ill. I didn't expect to be interested in coming to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. It seems that it is Daan!" This person's voice was clear, with a friendly smile hidden. It's Mu Tiannan.

"No need to worry about Brother Mu, but it's just an occasional cold, it's not really a disease!" Shao Qing's voice was as cold as ever, with a touch of alienation.

Gu Qinghua couldn't help feeling guilty. Ever since the night at the Yuyuan Palace, Shao Qing has always avoided her intentionally or unintentionally, and most of the time when talking to her, she lowered her head and frowned, and immediately stepped back after she finished speaking. , more disciplined than the most disciplined courtier.

"Hehe, even so, the emperor still needs to take care of himself." Mu Tiannan didn't mind his estrangement, and said with a friendly smile: "Otherwise, there are so many things in the palace, and there is no emperor to share his worries. How can your majesty care?" Come here! If you fall ill, the first person to be anxious will be Your Majesty."

Shao Qing hummed faintly, and said lightly: "The countless complicated political affairs in the court require your Majesty's attention, and the minor matters in the harem, how can you work on your Majesty? But speaking of it, the eyes are close in recent years, and it is related to the ancestral system. The affairs are also very complicated, Brother Mu is too free, from tomorrow, come to my place to help!"

Mu Tiannan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, don't be joking. Where is my background? Your Majesty has always been jealous of me. I think Brother Su is also free and often hides in Xingqing Palace to sleep and read. , the emperor might as well ask him for help!"

Su Jun frowned slightly. Mu Tiannan's words seemed harmless, but when he listened carefully to each sentence, there was clearly provocative in the dark.Su Jun gave Gu Qinghua a sneaky look, and Gu Qinghua's face also sank and became tense.

"You don't have to worry about that," Shao Qing said calmly and calmly, "I said I asked you to help, and I just asked you to help. I will explain it to her. Your Majesty will not think about this face." Not to me!"

Gu Qinghua felt relieved. Although Shao Qing didn't argue with Mu Tiannan, his attitude was already very clear, that is, Gu Qinghua was still on his side, and he didn't have to say "Su side husband" or "Su" in front of him. The side husband's provocation!
Mu Tiannan obviously felt it too, he laughed, and said politely: "That's natural, how can the relationship between the emperor and your majesty be comparable to others? In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey, and go to have a meeting with the emperor every day. It’s good to have a partner! Otherwise, sometimes there’s no one to talk to, and it’s meaningless.”

"En." Shao Qing's voice was slightly relaxed and smiling, and said lightly: "So, look forward to seeing you tomorrow."

"Don't dare!" Mu Tiannan was busy and modest, and said again: "It's freezing cold, the imperial husband has just recovered from the cold, if there is nothing else, you should go back early!"

Finally said something human!Gu Qinghua couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart.Thinking that she didn't even know about Shao Qing's illness, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"You go back first, I, I'll pick two plum blossoms and leave." Shao Qing said.

"Do you want to go back and put in a bottle?" Mu Tiannan smiled and said, "Imperial husband is so excited! If imperial husband doesn't dislike it, I am willing to help you."

After a moment of silence, Shao Qing said calmly: "No need. This plum blossom is for Miss Xianglin."

Mu Tiannan, Gu Qinghua, and Su Jun were all taken aback for a moment. Mu Tiannan smiled and said very understandingly: "It turned out to be for His Majesty! This is inconvenient for me. I will take my leave. The emperor slowly Pick it!" As she spoke, the sound of creaking footsteps on the snow gradually faded away.

Gu Qinghua felt uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the rouge-like red plum in a bottle in the Nuan Pavilion, which was fragrant and deceiving Lanhui.She just said, how could Xianglin suddenly fold the plum blossoms and go back, so...

There was a slight sound of "pa", and there was the sound of falling snow powder. After a long time, there was another sound of footsteps gradually going away.

It wasn't until the surroundings returned to the original silence that Gu Qinghua and Su Jun stood out from behind the plum bushes. Su Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qinghua with a smile that was not a smile.

Gu Qinghua became a little annoyed and turned his face away in agitation.

"Qing'er," Su Jun raised his hand and stroked her hair lightly, "Shao Huangfu is a good man."

"I knew it from the beginning," Gu Qinghua glared at him, and said bluntly, "I knew he was a good man before he entered the palace!"

Su Jun was silent, and then tentatively asked: "After the matter is over, Qing'er—what's your plan?"

Gu Qinghua raised his brows lightly, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "There is no rush, let's talk about it later! It's Mu Tiannan," Gu Qinghua's eyes suddenly lit up, and he gritted his teeth a bit Said: "I don't know what he means. Since he surrendered to me, why did he provoke Shao Qing behind his back? Could it be that he wants to be in two boats? Hmph! Get rid of him first!"

Su Jun was also secretly vigilant in his heart, but he comforted Gu Qinghua and said, "Maybe Qing'er is thinking too much. Mu Tiannan is narrow-minded, and it's inevitable that he wants to provoke someone. It is expected that he will be powerless to install our people!"

Gu Qinghua nodded and remained silent.After this interruption, the two of them lost interest in going for a walk, so they walked out of Meilin slowly and headed back to Zichen Palace.
