Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I am more and more embarrassed, and indeed I am too sloppy, I have forgotten such a big living person. The second brother of the Zhao family was also a sincere brother. This time it seemed to be ridiculous. I had nothing to say in a word.

At this moment, Liu Qinghan just said, "Second brother, this is a hard work."

Zhao Yuncheng turned to him in a hurry: "It's fine."

"Did anything happen?"

"Not at all. Someone from Chengdu came to pick up the lightness, but she was sent back by herself."

He nodded, then turned to look at me again, hesitated, and said, "It's getting late, you can rest early."

"..."

"Other things, I'll talk about it in the future."

"..."

I thought about it and nodded.

I came here this time, although I didn't plan how long I would stay, but I also know that the time will not be too short. Many things have been slowly said and solved slowly over time.

He and Zhao Yuncheng went out, and Susu accompanied me to the other side, the room they prepared for me.

That room is larger than the previous one, and it is very comfortable. The home furnishings are not new, but have been used for some years, such as a mahogany cabinet. The copper handles are shiny, giving people a very Homely, familiar feeling, no longer looks like a guest room. Su Su helped me to walk in, and said, "Miss, they are really interested."

I smiled and sat by the bed.

She brought hot water to freshen me up. When I sat at the dressing table and asked her to remove my hair, she said gently, "Miss, Liu Gongzi, what about his hair--"

I said, "He said, it's sad."

"Sorrow, you can make your hair grey."

"Who knows?"

I smiled slightly, seeing what she seemed to want to ask, I said: "Don't say it, I'm tired after late. Go to bed early."

"Hey."

As soon as he felt black, the next morning, he blinked.

I slept peacefully and woke up very early. After waking up, I was in good spirits. After grooming, a few young boys who looked very smart brought breakfast, but they did n’t go directly into the house, but waited Outside the door, let Su Su take it. I ate at the table, and a few of them were standing outside.

After I ate, they hurried in to clean up. I wiped my mouth and asked, "Where is Liu Qinghan? Is he up?"

One of them looked up and said with a smile, "The third master is getting up early. Miss Miss is looking for him? He is by the lake."

"By the lake?"

"Yes. Is the young lady looking for the third master? The younger leads you there."

"Ok."

I sorted it out a little bit, and let Susu take care of Zhao Shuyuan, and then followed the little sister. In the daytime, when I looked at this other courtyard, I found that it was really big, especially when I walked to the backyard, crossed the winding corridor, and came out of an arch, I was even more surprised.

It turns out there is no back door to this other courtyard.

What greets us is a vast lake, reflecting the rising sun and the bright light, and the other side of the lake is the towering mountain walls we saw before we came here. At the moment, it seems to have become a natural barrier, serving as the back door of this Yilan Bethel.

Extending from the blue slate path under my foot all the way to the lake, two water corridors were built, as if once and for all, a large water pavilion was connected in the middle of the two corridors.

In the waterside, Liu Qinghan was slowly practicing a Taiji sword with a gray-haired old man.

I was a little surprised, standing on the path, watching him wearing a white stool, and following the old man's tricks, slowly and comfortably wielding each sword, feeling quite smooth.

The little sister stood behind me and said with a smile: "The third master hasn't been here long, so he started practicing Taiji sword with Master Chen."

"He, how are you doing?"

"The young people are laymen and can't see it, but after listening to Master Chen, the third master should not be bad."

"Oh."

"Is Miss Miss going?"

"No rush, don't disturb them."

I said, and looked back at him: "Go ahead and do your favor, and when they're done, I'll look for him myself."

"Hey."

The little sister promised to leave, and I continued to stand on the path, watching the two men in the water pavilion swing slowly, although there were some things I wanted to talk to him, but watching their one One move, I was not in a hurry.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two men gathered their swords and stood still.

The old man practiced a set, refreshed, but Liu Qinghan was sweating, and seemed to be much more tired than the old man. The master Chen explained to him again, then turned and left. He took the towel on the stone table of Shuixie and wiped the sweat on his forehead and neck. He looked up and saw me.

I walked over with a smile.

"Sanye, so leisure."

He laughed, throwing the towel on the lounge chair aside, and laughed: "Don't make fun of me."

"How come to think of practicing this?"

"Your cousin practices this."

"You just follow it?"

He didn't speak immediately, but glanced behind me. The master Chen had already gone, and he said, "Master Chen has no other livelihood. He has never married his wife and children. He practices, he can only go back to the country. "

I glanced back, the gray-haired old man had turned a corner and left.

I smiled.

"However, it's also very interesting to practice," he said, holding a sword flower in hand. Although it wasn't the move in Taiji Sword, he was very skilled and able to say: "It's good to be healthy."

The sword flower circled in front of me, and I took a step back in fright. He smiled and hurriedly retracted the sword into the sheath and hung it on the other side of the post. At this time, a few small crickets came over, holding the food box in their hands, and first gave us two salutes, and then placed the contents of the box on the stone table.

It's his breakfast.

It's almost the same as what I just used, but with more weight. He sat down and looked up at me: "Do you want to use it together?"

"I have already eaten."

"Oh, do you have any appetite to eat more."

I saw a dish of cakes in it that I hadn't eaten for a long time, so I sat down and picked up a piece.

He also sat aside, drinking porridge and eating vegetables.

Although it is only a breakfast, facing the mountains and water in front of me, such a magnificent scenery, I can't help but feel that this breakfast is a bit too grand, and the breakfast tastes good. I ate the cake in my hand and smelled him The smell of fish fillet porridge can't help but want to eat more.

Perceived my gaze, he looked at me, and I hurriedly concealed and smiled: "You really enjoy it now."

He froze and laughed.

"How do you feel, get used to it?"

"Ok?"

"This life."

I also want to ask, is it more free and enjoyable than when you were an official before, he smiled suddenly and said, "How can you not get used to frugality and luxury. After a while, probably I also want to blame that year-- "

I stuffed the last sip of hair cake into my mouth, and when I heard him say half, I broke it. He looked up at him, but he just smiled, and then drank the last porridge in the bowl. Xiao Yan immediately took the tea to gargle his mouth, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a small square towel.

At this time, from the way I came, hurriedly came over a guard.

The man's footsteps were quick, and in a blink of an eye came to us, saluting two of us, and then holding a letter in his hands before him: "Sanye, the news came back."

He threw the puck away, took it up, and immediately frowned.

I sat next to me, and wiped my hands with a parchment. Seeing his solemn expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

"What's the news?"

He didn't answer me immediately, but frowned, and then waved his hand. The guard and a few little sisters hurriedly packed away, and he twisted the letter in his hand and gave it to his fingertips. I.

I took it for a look, and immediately frowned.

It was a short letter sent by someone he sent to listen to the news outside Sichuan. It clearly stated that in the past month, powerful gentry had been involved in the rebels in Jiangsu, Anhui and Hubei. Although officials and soldiers from various local governments are fighting against them, the situation is not very optimistic.

The flames of war were ignited, so that the entire Central Plains would fall into chaos.

This is what the DPRK is most afraid of.

I was so relaxed early in the morning. At this time, I immediately became tense. I looked at it for a while, then looked up and asked him, "What's the situation in those places in Shanxi and Henan?"

He took the short letter from my hand and said, "I didn't say it, it should be deadlocked."

"Stalemate ..."

Deadlock, that is, the outcome is not divided.

However, this cannot be comforted at all. It is impossible to distinguish between victory and defeat in a lifetime. Once there is a victory, there will be a fading situation. If the court really loses, the war in other places will not be. May not be affected.

He frowned, "Although these places are not far apart, they all started within a month. If there is no implication, this is impossible."

My heart sank slightly: "You mean--"

In fact, there is no need to ask, I also know what he means, so he glanced at me and did not answer me.

The two were silent.

He was still reading the short letter with his fingertips, as if he was thinking about something, and his fingertips were rubbing slightly, and soon the edges of the letterhead were frizzled.

I asked: "Light cold, I ask you something."

He looked up and looked at me: "You ask."

"You live in Xichuan deeply, and you are concerned about the situation outside. People ask about wars everywhere. Then why do n’t you even look at the letter from the capital and return it to the emperor intact?

"..."

"What are you thinking?"
