wall.

The emperor's mother was the second female emperor of the Xuan Dynasty. After enjoying the country for a long time, she would inevitably do foolish things when she was old. She was suspicious and killed her uncle. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she resolutely passed on the throne to her youngest son.When the emperor was young, he saw that his brothers and mother were suspicious and had an unstable life. He felt very sorry for having his own children, and rejected all the advice from his officials about his family affairs.

From being ignorant when he was young to now ruling the world, the emperor did not dare to slack off in politics, he was modest and simple, and did things without losing the emperor's sense of propriety.Now that the weather is clear and the moon is shining brightly, the court is still considered to be upright, and Qin Ronggu is gradually taking over, so he is relieved.

"Rong Gu, when your grandmother passed the age of 50, she knew the destiny, but when she was old, she was angry, and there were frequent serious cases in the court. I have thought about it for a long time since I was young. If you are weak and weak, you know the destiny, and you will become a person." It's difficult to keep money, let alone the endless rivers and mountains. I watched you and Rong Mao grow up little by little, and later I made you the prince not because you are the eldest son, but because you handle things better than Rong Mao Be gentle." The emperor stopped, and Qin Ronggu stood behind him and listened respectfully.

"Your father will never forget what your father said."

"I'm not talking to you, but I'm afraid I'm sorry for this country. This is not the country of our ancestors, but the country of the world. I want to pick someone who can afford it. I think that once I'm over 50, I want to let go and be the Supreme Emperor. I never mentioned your marriage in the court. One is about your mother's affairs, and the other is that I don't want you to be uncomfortable listening to an emperor's will. I am the emperor and I want to be you My good father, although I have brought you by my side since I was a child, but I also want to protect you from the wind and rain. I know everything about you, even if you don't mean it. It doesn't matter what people say. I just want to tell you one thing, some mistakes have been made, and they will never be cleared up in a lifetime. Among them, the big taboo is human feelings."

Qin Ronggu lowered his eyes for a long time and then hummed.

The emperor turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm very happy that my prince is so tall. Go back earlier, your fake I personally approved it."

It was halfway through Meng Qiu, and the heat subsided a little.The big magnolia bloomed towards the water again, Zhou Hanzhi helped Qin Ronggu divide the irrelevant paperwork in the pavilion, when he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Ronggu walking over.

"Let me tell you a good thing." Qin Ronggu walked into the pavilion, and conveniently squeezed a handful of pine nuts peeled by Zhou Hanzhi from the blue and white glazed water chestnut flower plate, "Hongwen Museum doesn't bother you recently, tomorrow we will go to the Crane Palace Xiao Stay for a few days."

"I'm fine and you're fine too?" Zhou Hanzhi smiled.

"I'm also a person, you still want to take a rest, I'm naturally too lazy and like to rest. Besides, if you help me, what am I afraid of?" After speaking, he suddenly leaned over and kissed Zhou Hanzhi shallowly.

A few months ago, Zhou Hanzhi would push Qin Ronggu away when Qin Ronggu approached him, but now he is no longer ashamed and angry as before, and stretched out his hand to hold Qin Ronggu.

"Let me think about it, Han Zhi used to be like a lump of elm, but now he is acquainted with Fengyue for the first time?"

"Then I push you away?"

"If you push me, I'll hold you back. See if you have another way." After finishing speaking, he pinched Zhou Hanzhi and waved away the floating smoke and the others. Zhou Hanzhi turned around and ran out, Qin Rong smiled. Chase after a few times.

After a quick calculation, it has been half a year since Zhou Hanzhi came to the Prince's Mansion, and he and Qin Ronggu went from unfamiliar and suspicious to teasing and teasing, but he never forgot that he never belonged here.It should be greed, unwilling to think about when the day of leaving will come, and what expression should he have.

Qin Ronggu likes his face that looks like Xiangwen, he likes Qin Ronggu.He thought that it was too late for him to get out of this deep situation, and he never expected that the road ahead would be dangerous, and leaving would be a breeze, so there would be no such heartbreaking pain as described in the script on the stage.

Xiang Hewan

Zhou Han temporarily sent a message saying that Lu Keli was looking for Zhou Hanzhi, and Zhou Hanzhi went to the Hongwen Museum, and happened to meet Zheng Yan when he returned.

Zheng Yan had a fever and hadn't been to the Linzhi Hall for a few days, and looked tired and not as energetic as before.

"Finally I saw Xianyan again, ahem, I thought I would never see you once I recovered from my illness."

Zheng Yan had a fever and his eyes were watery. Zhou Hanzhi touched his forehead, which was slightly hot.Zheng Yan grabbed Zhou Hanzhi's hand and smiled, "I made you laugh again, when you met me, I fell into the water in a pond, and you met me listless today."

Zhou Hanzhi withdrew her hand, frowned and looked at him, "Why didn't you ask someone to follow?"

"I'm tired of people following me. I just go to the Linzhi Pavilion for some urgent business. It's okay, you go first. Seeing that you are worried, I will go to the pavilion and ask Wang Zhimu to take me back."

"It's only a few steps away, I'll take you there." After finishing speaking, Zhou Hanzhi followed Zheng Yan to the Linzhi Hall.

"Envy."

"Ok?"

"The last time I saw you was wearing a white jade pendant with ancient gold and tassels, but today it was replaced with a tourmaline pendant with purple tassels in silver thread, but I have never seen the one I gave you."

Zhou Hanzhi didn't expect Zheng Yan to remember such trivial things, so he thought for a while and said, "I don't care much about it, and someone else picks it out and hands it to me. You should hide the things you give me, so you don't take them with you. body."

"But I didn't give it to you to throw that in the box. I'll take it with you tomorrow, and I'll take it for a few more days, or I'll be unhappy." Zheng Yan wrinkled his face, and Zhou Hanzhi agreed with him with a smile .

In the afternoon, Qin Ronggu and Zhou Hanzhi went to Xianghe Palace.Xianghe Palace was built on Yuanshan Mountain, and there are hot springs all year round. The emperor occasionally moved here for a few days when it was cold in winter.Qin Ronggu brought Zhou Hanzhi over when there were few people, but he just wanted to be quiet.

At the foot of the mountain, the sky has turned dark, the trees are full of shade, and the cranes are soaring in the sky.Occasionally there are a few cicadas making it more quiet, and listening carefully to the water gurgling through the grass and rocks.Qin Ronggu grabbed Zhou Hanzhi who was walking up the mountain, and helped him unroll the sleeves that were rolled up because of the heat.

"You look at this beautiful place, but you don't know how powerful mosquitoes and ants are. Pulling down your sleeves can save you a few bites on your wrists. In addition to the common ones such as angelica, calamus, mugwort leaves, mint and ageratum, the sachet also contains Lemongrass and the like, stay away, or I won’t be able to drive you away if I follow you.”

"Oh."

"Why did you just answer me one word?" Qin Ronggu smiled.

"Obviously I didn't do anything but I feel tired." Zhou Hanzhi pinched the bridge of his nose, "You and I just walked soberly."

"I asked Chen Gao to come over and arrange it first. Anyway, it's just you and me, so I just asked him to clean up the Xiangsongyuan. He should have prepared almond tofu and fresh peeled walnuts. You have a snack first, and wait It's too late... Forget it, I don't know what else to do besides this."

Zhou Hanzhi laughed for a long time after hearing this, Qin Ronggu looked at him and shook his head helplessly.

"It's late today, let's go around again tomorrow. Xianghe Palace has a beautiful view. Emperor Huan picked up a jade hairpin in the forest, and later sealed Mrs. Jingyang; Emperor Ling saw the pearl pendant in the water when he passed the water screen. Then there was noble concubine Yingwei, and finally died beside that noble concubine; after my father first met my mother in front of the gate of Xianghe Palace, later...he didn't want to come here."

Zhou Hanzhi raised his head to look at the palace gate, and looked at the white tiled wall of Hegong Palace, the dripping eaves with cloud patterns, and a few flowers and trees swaying lightly protruding out of the not-so-high wall.Qin Ronggu stood beside him and patted the agarwood folding fan in his hand. Seeing that he had been speechless for a long time, he turned his head and smiled at him. Zhou Hanzhi also smiled, and just wanted to always remember this moment, this situation and this scene.

"If your Highness and Mr. Zhou are tired, go in and have a rest." Zhao Yu looked at the two without speaking and reminded them, which made Qin Ronggu roll his eyes.

"Hanzhi, let's go." Qin Ronggu pulled him to Xiangsong Courtyard, but when he reached the courtyard two minutes later, only the west corridor in the courtyard was lit with misty gauze lanterns.

The yard is not small. A pine tree stands tall and tall. A layer of pine needles has fallen from the tree. When you look up, you can see a moon hanging on the top of the pine.Cakes are set on the stone table, almond tofu is placed on the six-flowered silver plate, and fresh walnuts are peeled on the gold-leaf carved moon plate on the ebony bottom.

Qin Ronggu sat on the stone bench and picked up a walnut to eat, "Looking at the scenery, I could have coaxed Hanzhi to drink a few glasses of wine, but I didn't tell Chen Xiao that I wouldn't prepare it for that dumbfounded one. Take it." Yu, go find him, who knows where he hid."

Zhou Hanzhi sat down opposite him, and lifted a bamboo box from under the table.He blinked at Qin Ronggu, "Isn't it?"

Qin Ronggu lifted the lid and took out the jug and wine glass by himself, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, he said in a flat tone: "Okay, I haven't even touched a drop of wine, I'll be drunk when Han Zhi glances at me."

"Then just put it away." Zhou Hanzhi pressed his hand, Qin Ronggu raised his eyebrows, pulled Zhou Hanzhi's hand and kissed it.

"Your Highness, I called Chen Gao over." Zhao Yu happily ran in, saw Qin Ronggu's subtle expression feeling uncomfortable, turned around and ran out again.

wind into the pine

It rained lightly at night, and the mountains were covered with clouds and mist in the morning.Qin Ronggu woke up Zhou Hanzhi and went to sit in the Qinglu Pavilion. Outside the pavilion was the sea of ​​Posha reeds, which could not be seen in the fog. The reed leaves were rustling, and occasionally a red-crowned crane passed by the pavilion.

Qin Rong and Gu Man casually drew the scenery outside the pavilion, while Zhou Hanzhi took a piece of frozen stone and carved patterns casually.

"I said there is a beautiful view here, taste the snow water buried in the winter of my university the year before last, swept down from the pine trees in Xiangsongyuan." Qin Ronggu put down his pen and handed over the cup, and Zhou Hanzhi drank it from his hand a mouthful.

"When I walked over, I smelled the aroma of yellow thorn rose through the fog. I followed the walk and saw that the petals were still curled up, and the leaves were covered with morning dew. Fu Yanxin took a glass cup and squatted in front of the flowers shaking It's been dew for a long time." Zhou Hanzhi nodded and said.

"Fuyan and Zhaoyu have been with me since I was 15 years old. Fuyan is pretty clever. Zhaoyu is younger than him, so he takes care of him more. Fuyan seldom follows me when I go out, so I sent him to you. It's raining now
