Rebirth after waste

Chapter 72

A distracted, slippery foot.Gu Yunxian swayed and was about to fall forward from the horse stool!
"Mistress, be careful!"

"careful!"

He Jin felt the tremendous pressure from his right arm, and was almost scared out of his wits.In desperation, he didn't care about the rules, grabbed Gu Yunxian's arm and pulled it into his arms, using himself as a pad, and caught her alive!

The two fell to the ground together, Gu Yunxian fell on top of He Jin, frowning.The people around were so frightened by this sudden change that they didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, Ah Ci Caijia quickly jumped off the carriage, ran to Gu Yunxian's side, and helped her up.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Cai Jia asked anxiously, "Where did you fall?"

Gu Yunxian shook her head, followed her strength to stand up, "I'm fine."

He Jin answered it in time, she was really fine.

She raised her eyes, and Cui Shuo, who was originally a dozen steps away from her, had already rode her horse aside, looking at her worriedly.

If she heard correctly, the second "be careful" just now came from his mouth.

She gave him a slight nod, thanking him for his concern.But when he saw his actions, he suddenly woke up, and looked away in a little panic.

After Gu Yunxian stood up, He Jin quickly got up from the ground, and repeatedly accused: "I deserve to die! I didn't watch your mother's feet, causing her to fall! My crime deserves death!"

Gu Yunxian said: "You don't need to blame yourself, I'm fine. I just slipped on my own feet, and it's thanks to you for catching me, otherwise..."

He Jin was so frightened that he kept shaking his head, "Your Majesty, stop talking like that!"

Gu Yunxian saw the panic on his face, knowing that he would probably go to Lu Chuan for training in a while.This is the case in this palace, it is obvious that nobles like them are careless, but the ones who will be punished will always be the palace servants below.

However, with Lu Chuan as a person and He Jin as his apprentice, it would not be a big deal.

"What's going on?" came a deep voice.

Gu Yunxian turned around, only to find that the emperor had already got off the carriage.

The people around him hurriedly knelt down, and the officials on horseback got off their horses one after another, knelt down to salute, and said Holy Ann.

The emperor ignored them, but walked up to Gu Yunxian and helped her up, "I heard a lot of noise outside, Yunniang, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Yunxian was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.

I was distracted for a while, got out of the carriage and didn't look at the road, so I fell down?

He will definitely be laughed at by him!

"Return to Your Majesty, it's the minister...the minister didn't support her well, which caused the empress..." He Jin stammered and explained.

Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already reacted, frowning slightly, "Did you fall? Where did you fall? Did you twist your ankle?"

"No, no." Gu Yunxian hurriedly said, "The concubine is fine. It was the concubine who fell because of her carelessness. Thanks to He Jin for picking me up, otherwise it would have been really miserable."

The emperor was still frowning, and he didn't know if he heard her last words of defense.

Just as she was thinking about it, the world suddenly spun, and it was only after a moment that she realized that she was hugged by his waist!
Just in front of so many people!

"Go back to the car first." His expression remained calm, as if there was nothing wrong with his actions at the moment, "Lu Chuan, send the imperial doctor over."

Cui Shuo knelt on the ground, watching her being held in the arms of the emperor, walking step by step towards the imperial chariot with the bright yellow dragon pattern in front of her.Because his eyes were downcast, he could only see her skirt hanging down, the indigo brocade, a beautiful color, like the surface of a lake in June.

Gu Yunxian was fine at first, so the imperial doctor naturally couldn't see any problem, so he prescribed a calming medicine as usual and then withdrew it.

Gu Yunxian huddled on the soft couch, still a little angry.

The emperor smiled and said, "What's the matter? How did I offend you?"

Gu Yunxian said: "Your Majesty, don't you know?"

"I really don't know." The emperor looked innocent.

"You were in front of so many people just now..." Gu Yunxian was annoyed, "You don't know how much I..."

"What's the matter? Shy?" He groaned with a smile.

Seeing that her expression changed, and she was about to turn her face, he immediately accepted it tactfully, "Okay, okay, it's just a hug, it's nothing! There are not many courtiers who follow me this time, and those nagging old stubborn I didn't bring any of them, so you don't have to worry about that."

Having said that, she still couldn't help being embarrassed when she thought of how many people there were.

Turning her head away resentfully, she was too lazy to look at him again.

He sat next to her relentlessly and hugged her from behind.His hands were big and strong, but there was a gentleness when he held her waist.

"Let me tell you, don't hang on to your heart all day, it's so tiring." He rested his chin on her shoulder, "I'm here to take you out to have fun and relax. If you still It’s the same as being in the palace, so it’s no fun.”

"Take me out on a special trip?" She turned her head, confused.

When he mentioned to himself before that he would stay in the palace for a short time, he just said that he was bored after staying in the palace for a long time, and he didn't say anything about bringing her out on a special trip.

"Didn't I say that?" He also seemed a little surprised, and realized after a moment, "Oh, I forgot to say that."

She was speechless.

"However," he moved closer and touched her forehead, with a gentle smile on his lips, "I didn't say it, so you can't see it?"

"How can the concubine see it?"

"Look, I didn't bring anyone you didn't like. The list is up to you." He murmured, "It's so obvious, why don't you see it?"

She was completely stunned there.

This time, she thought that the selection of the concubine as a concubine could go so smoothly, she thought it was all due to her own planning.But in the process, I also thought about it, did it go too smoothly?Looking at it now, part of the reason why it went so smoothly was that he was silently following his own wishes?
"I brought you out to play in the hope that you would be happy." He said softly, "People you don't want to see naturally don't need to appear in front of you."

She was silent, and leaned into his arms after a while.

He noticed her meekness, and smiled slightly, "So, be happy. Don't worry about rules and etiquette. We can all live more comfortably after leaving that palace."

"En." She said softly, "Ah Yun understands."

Maoshan Hot Spring Palace was originally the palace of the former dynasty, which was later destroyed by war.After the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Taizu rebuilt the hot spring palace on the site of the former dynasty with three times the scale, and then continued to expand it through successive emperors.

The whole hot spring palace is divided into 36 main halls and 72 side halls. The residences of the emperor and empress are Yiyuan Hall and Rouyi Hall respectively, with the most magnificent system.

Gu Yunxian's residence this time is not the Rouyi Hall, but the third hall of the Hot Spring Palace, the Liuyu Hall.The standard is not as good as the Rouyi Hall, but the details are much more delicate. Twelve luminous pearls are placed in the Guangzheng Hall for night lighting.

After everything was settled, twilight had fallen.Gu Yunxian sat in the hall and fiddled with Lu Yi, while the emperor watched quietly from the side.

She looked very focused when she played the piano, as if she was dealing with something extremely important.

Occasionally she would look at him that way, and every time this happened, he would be very happy.

He liked the way she looked.

"His Majesty?"

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Gu Yunxian had finished playing a piece of music and was looking at him with raised eyebrows.

"Your Majesty is distracted. But the concubine can't play well?" she said angrily.

He laughed, "Why? It's because I thought that the night will be long, and there must be something interesting to do, otherwise it would be meaningless to make a special trip."

"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Gu Yunxian asked.

He took her hand, "Let's go out for a stroll. Visit the hot spring palace under the night."

Your Majesty and Empress Rongrong are going to parade to the palace at night, and the battle is naturally amazing.Lu Chuan immediately wanted to ask a dozen people to accompany him, but the emperor thought they were annoying, so he dismissed them with a word.In the end, after some back-and-forth, the entourage became four little Huangmen, plus Lu Chuan and A Ci, a total of six.

The four eunuchs carried lanterns to illuminate them. It was a cool night in the mountains. Gu Yunxian and the emperor both wore a cloak, and the corners of their clothes were blown up by the wind from time to time, making them look quite elegant.

Flowers and willows are scattered all the way, and all the eyes are extremely natural and beautiful scenery.Gu Yunxian narrowed her eyes slightly, only feeling that the mountain breeze was cool and there was a faint fragrance of flowers, which made her heart intoxicated.

With her mind relaxed, she stretched out her hand to hold the emperor's arm for the first time, and slowly rested her head on his shoulder.

Feeling the little head on his shoulder, the emperor couldn't help but curl his lips.Holding her slender hand, he exerted a little more strength, as if he wanted to hold something perishable.

"It's really nice here." Gu Yunxian murmured, "It's much more beautiful than the imperial garden in the palace."

He smiled, "Do you like it here? If you like it, we can come and live more in the future. The weather is not cold yet. I will take you to the hot springs when the new year is over this year. When I was a child, I liked snowing the most. When I came to the Hot Spring Palace, the trees in the mountains were covered with snow, and they looked like ice sculptures, so the scenery is really beautiful."

Although Gu Yunxian had been to the Hot Spring Palace before, he had never been here in winter. Hearing the words, he couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty's words are really good. The concubine thinks it looks good just by listening to it." Get closer, "Then So it's settled, when it snows, you can bring me here to play again."

He laughed, "Okay, that's it.

She looked around for a while, and said again, "It's nice here."

He didn't make fun of her repeating a sentence over and over, but repeated, "Yes, it's really nice here."

It's great to walk hand in hand with her like this.

They did not expect to encounter the retinue of officials.

The hot spring palace has special residences for these foreign ministers, but perhaps it was because of the long nights of boredom, these young officials could not stand the loneliness, they formed groups of three or four, and each chose a place of confinement, reciting poems, discussing music, enjoying life elegant.

Gu Yunxian and the others ran into Cui Shuo, Lin Mao, the No. 2 Jinshi of the new science department, and Du Qing, the head of the Ministry of Rites.

The place they chose was a gazebo by the lake, and the three of them sat in the pavilion, chatting and laughing constantly.Both Lin Mao and Du Qing are people with exposed temperaments, and they are very speculative when they see each other today, and they are almost ready to be sworn brothers.Cui Shuo listened with a smile on the side, drinking a glass of fine wine from time to time.

"Rujing, don't drink too much. His Majesty will probably call you to accompany him tomorrow." Lin Mao reminded, "If you are not clear-headed, you will be charged later."

As soon as Lin Mao's words fell, Du Qing smiled and said, "I don't think Ru Jing needs to drink too much to lose his mind. He can do anything even if he hasn't drunk a drop." Shaking his head, "Your Majesty bestows on you I’ve heard about it once when I was growing up. Thank you, Rujing, for letting me know the chief!”

Cui Shuo ignored their teasing, but instead turned his gaze to behind them.Seeing that his expression was different, the two hurriedly turned their heads, but saw that under the shadow of a tree not far away, His Majesty led a palace concubine and several servants, looking at them with great interest.

The two were startled, hurriedly stood up and knelt down to salute.Cui Shuo was a step behind them, and also knelt down, "My minister, see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" He looked beside him hesitantly, "See Mrs. Yuan Chongrong, please be safe!"

They called out Gu Yunxian's name, but she was not surprised.The reason why these foreign ministers recognize him is probably due to the hug in front of everyone today.The emperor's move really gave her a lot of limelight.I'm afraid it's not just the three of them, all the officials who follow her know her now.
