Since Xiao Zhige reminded him, an Changqing did not go out of the palace again during the period when Yuze's mission arrived in Beijing. Huairushan and his party handed over the articles of association of trade between the two countries to discuss with Daye. It seemed that they really came to open up trade routes. In addition to the official time, huairushan visited Yejing accompanied by officials of Honglu temple.
An Changqing observed for a few days, but found nothing unusual, so he turned his eyes elsewhere. On the tenth day of the lunar new year, Xue Wuyi invited him to visit the lake, and an Changqing went.
In May, the breeze is warm and the shore is green. The river is clear, boating on the lake, cooking wine and tea, but also have a special feeling. They only rented an awning boat, the boatman supporting the pole at the stern, and an Changqing and Xue Wuyi sitting opposite in the bow cooking tea.
"I brought my own peach blossom wine, but Jixue didn't let me drink it. When Changqing goes back, take it with you. At this time, I'll have a few cups of tea with you. " Xue Wuyi pointed to the two jars of wine behind him, and his brows showed some helplessness.
An Changqing took off the water on the stove and ironed the cup: "Jixue is also for you."
"Try my tea making today." Xue Wuyi took the half hot tea cup from his hand, and skillfully lifted the teapot with Scallion white hands, showing him his own tea art quite complacently. His hand moves like flowing water, but his mouth doesn't stop: "she doesn't know who to follow, she's not old, she has a lot of reasons, and she often keeps a straight face. I'll be gone in the future, and I don't know if she can find a good home for herself. "
An Changqing looked at him: "since you are not at ease, why don't you look at it in person?"
Xue Wuyi said with a free and easy smile: "maybe I'm too selfish. I just want to enjoy the pleasure of boating and cooking tea. I don't want to work hard and do my best for the country and the people. Don't nag me like Jixue. "
An Changqing did not say any more. He took the tea he sent to him and drank it. Then he frowned: "it's too bitter. How do you like this? I'll send you some of my favorite teas some other day. "
Xue Wuyi narrowed his eyes, sipped tea, and laughed without saying anything. Another topic came up and said, "my spies in the West dung heard yesterday that the Empress Dowager had died of an emergency. Now it's the general assisting the young master It's been half a month since the king of dung came here, isn't it
"Count the time. It's about half a month." An Changqing said, "is he threatening the emperor to order the princes?"
Xue Wuyi supported his chin, looked at the sparkling river, and said in a light voice: "general Huo Zheng is more than brave, but not very resourceful. His ambition is not small, but he has been pressed by me and Shang que all these years, so he didn't dare to act rashly. "
However, the king of Xi dung first sent him to Xi dung, and then Shang que, the leader of the northern guard, disappeared. The empress dowager, the king of Jianzhi, was the mother of the king of Xi dung. She was very powerful and made profits for her mother's family, the king of Fuyang. It's no surprise that Huo Zheng will take advantage of the opportunity.
All this was in his expectation. It's just that Huo Zheng's move is much earlier than he expected.
An Changqing drooped his eyes and said, "are you really not going to go back to the West dung?"
"I won't go back." Xue Wuyi sighed and looked back at the clear tea in his hand: "when Xue Zhi was five years old, I became his teacher and taught him to read and write. However, he is more stubborn and less intelligent. I can only be more strict with him, and at the same time, I can start to eradicate the forces that are not conducive to the stability of the DPRK. When I expected him to be in charge, I couldn't be a wise king. As long as I followed the road I paved for him, I could go smoothly It's just that I misjudged people's minds. "
Xue Wuyi laughed at himself: "I'm strict with him, and it's just wishful thinking to pave the way for him. And the teacher can't kiss his biological mother after all. The older he is, the more alienated he is from me. Many new policies are implemented without any trouble. "
"Now I only hope that the unrest in xidun will end as soon as possible. As long as shangque becomes the king, I am confident that he can manage xidun well."
The melancholy on his face disappeared when he mentioned shangque. To be in high spirits. A pair of clear green and white eyes are shining with moist light, just like It's like
An Changqing's heart sank. He looked at him and asked tentatively, "you and Shang que Does he know that you are ill? "
Xue Wuyi looked up at him and said, "the king of geese is really good at seeing. He doesn't know. If you have a chance to see him in the future, don't tell him. I don't want him to know. "
"You..." An Changqing wanted to ask what was going on between him and shangque, but it was superfluous to think about it. The feelings between people are too complex and heavy, and can not be explained by simple words.
He stopped and said nothing, for fear that Xue Wuyi's sorrow might be aroused. Xue Wuyi, however, was very open-minded. He poured a cup of tea for him and said, "shangque originally came to kill me."
Xue Wuyi was originally an orphan without father and mother. Fortunately, he was adopted by the late king. At the age of 16, he showed great intelligence. Later, he became a young prime minister. He seemed to be very happy, but in fact, he had countless shots and arrows. At that time, the former king was in poor health, and his only son Xue Zhi was still young. And he was the Assistant Minister of the former king. At that time, the first emperor often said to the young Xue Zhi: as long as the prime minister is in one day, my son will be able to have no worries.
Later, the first king collapsed and Xue Zhi succeeded to the throne. It's not only the royal family who want him to die, but also the orphans of the xidung tribe who are looking forward to the collapse of the xidung royal family.Fifteen year old Shang que was sent to assassinate him because of his outstanding martial arts. But he was captured by Xue Wuyi.
Recalling the past, Xue Wuyi pursed his lips and began to smile: "he had a lot of martial arts skills at that time, but his mind was very simple. I cheated him into staying to serve me. Because I told him that as long as I was alive, one day I would make the xidun tribe free from humiliation and trample. "
It's just that time has changed, and people's hearts are gradually thinning. When I was young, I believed the promise, but when I grew up, I knew it was difficult to realize it. Although Shang que worked for him as usual, he no longer believed in him.
"It's a pity that I'm going to break my faith with him. He can only create the future of the xidun tribe himself." Xue Wuyi sighed.
An Changqing didn't expect to hear such a story, in which the national hatred and family hatred were lying, and he couldn't help but know the twists and turns and contradictions between them.
He took a sip of bitter tea and understood why Xue Wuyi liked it. No matter how bitter tea is, it's hard for people to keep it, and it's hard for the world to change.
"Maybe in the future, he will understand your difficulty." Comfort is too pale, at last, an Changqing can only say so.
Xue Wuyi laughed: "I'd rather he didn't understand."
After a pot of tea was finished, Xue Wuyi cooked tea for him again. This time, an Changqing stopped him and said with a smile, "the tea you made is too bitter. I'll come."
Xue Wuyi refuted him with a smile: "it's obviously that the tea is bitter, so are you."
……
The boat just came back after a circle along the river. They had a good time drinking tea and chatting. Seeing that the sky was burning with rosy clouds, Xue Wuyi put on a thicker coat and separated from him at the wharf.
The two guards, dressed as servants, were waiting by the river. Seeing him coming, he led the horse to meet him.
An Changqing just got on the horse, and heard a familiar voice not far away: "is that the king of geese over there? It's a pleasure to meet you
An Changqing followed the sound and saw that huairu Shanzheng came down from the boat not far away, with only two servants and no officials from Honglu temple.
"It's King Yu. Nice to meet you." An Changqing got off the horse and exchanged greetings with him with a smile, but he was quietly Alert: "King Yu is not familiar with the land. Why don't you ask the officials of Honglu temple to accompany him?"
Huairu is good at dressing up as an ordinary scholar. He shakes his folding fan and says, "I want to appreciate the scenery of Daye. Once upon a time, I always heard that Yejing was very prosperous, and it was even more prosperous than Zaigou. These days, I have seen that Yejing really deserves its reputation. "
"If King Yu likes it, he can stay in Yejing for a few more days."
"I think so, but I have no good friends in Yejing. Although the officials of Honglu temple are very enthusiastic, they are unavoidably polite. I wonder if I can invite you to play with me in the future? I've heard that there are many teahouses in Yejing, and the storytelling is also very distinctive. I haven't been there yet. "
An Changqing's eyes flashed, but she didn't show any difference on her face. She didn't promise but didn't refuse: "I'm afraid I don't have time when I'm busy with business."
Huai Rushan said with a smile: "it's OK, I'll go to harass you when the Lord is free."
They exchanged greetings at the dock, and an Changqing just went back to the palace.
Huai Rushan looked at his back and said softly: "it's really like..."
***
when an Changqing returns to the palace, he first tells Xiao Zhige about his encounter with Huai Rushan and the other party's invitation to him.
Xiao Zhige snorted coldly: "you haven't been out of the palace these days, but you ran into him as soon as you came out of the palace today. How can there be such a coincidence?"
An Changqing also feels too coincidental, just raised vigilance. I just can't figure out what huairushan wants to do.
Xiao Zhige looked thoughtful and said, "you say Would Yuze have the same picture? "
Since the man in the painting met Xue Chang, and Xue Chang also met Tai Zu and Huai Shuan, Huai Shuan had no reason not to meet the man in the painting. Huai Rushan's performance in these days is obviously aimed at an Changqing. So it is very likely that Yuze is also related to the person in the painting. Even because Yuze is adjacent to the South China Sea, it is very likely that he knows more about the person in the painting or the chimpanzee.
Otherwise, except for a few people, no one knows the relationship between an Changqing and the chimpanzees. In addition to the similar appearance caused huairushan's attention, we can't find the reason from other aspects.
An Changqing also frowned. He thought for a long time and said, "it's not impossible. If he invites me next time, I'll go to the appointment to try him out and see what he's up to. "
Xiao Zhige subconsciously frowned, then thought that this is Yejing, just under his nose, nothing will happen, just reluctantly agreed.
After saying Huai Rushan, an Changqing thought of something and asked, "how was the business with Yuze?"
"Both sides intend to push forward, and the talks are quite smooth. It's just that the details need to be further discussed before they can be finalized. No matter what huairushan's purpose is, Yuze really wants to do business with Daye. "
An Changqing nodded: "if you can get through the business, it's also a good thing."
Xiao Zhige also thought so. Wen Yan led him to the inner room and showed him a draft agreement: "today, I talked with them about this. If it can be done, maybe we can go to the South China Sea by boat in the future."What he took out was a draft charter for shipbuilding. Daye exchanged the drawings of the improved bobbin car for Yuze to send craftsmen who were good at shipbuilding to Daye to teach Daye's craftsmen how to build ships. Daye closed the country for many years, few of them went to sea. The shipbuilding was very backward, but Yuze was the best at it. Xiao Zhige, just in case, had a special talk with Yuze.
An Changqing's eyes brightened, as if he had seen the grand occasion of sailing out to sea in the future. He said excitedly, "it's not just for the trip to the South China Sea. Besides Daye Yuze, there are countless foreign countries. When we build our own ships, we can also go out to see the foreign countries and do business with them. " Just like the travel notes he had read before.
Xiao Zhige was so excited by him that he took the opportunity to steal a kiss on his lips and said with a low smile, "the wild goose king is thinking about big things in his heart, but I think that in the future, we can travel around the Daye River and mountain, see all the rivers and mountains, and then go out to sea by boat to see the world."
"The prince is only one year old. You think too far." An Changqing laughed at him.
Xiao Zhige naturally said: "life is only a few decades. In the first half of his life, he fought against foreign troubles, calmed down internal worries, and worked hard to pave the way for future generations. I don't want to spend the rest of my life on it. Life is short, lovers are hard to find. I just want to cherish the time with you. "
This is the idea he had since he became an emperor. If there were no one to guard the great Yejiang mountain, he would be an idle Prince and an Changqing.
An Changqing's heart moved when he heard the story of Xue Wuyi, especially today. He increasingly felt that the world was not so happy. This life seems to be complete with Xiao Zhige, but it was the separation of life and death in the last life. Therefore, in this life, he cherished their friendship more and more.
Staring at the man's serious eyebrows, an Changqing smiles: "then you have to be better to an Heng now, or he won't take over your burden."
Xiao Zhige turned his back and snorted: "if he is not right, he will call an Zhu."
An Changqing was amused by him with a smile. He seriously thought about it and said, "it's better to be an Heng. An Zhu has a temper like you. If he becomes an emperor, those ministers will have no hope."
Xiao Zhige listened with a smile. He approached him dangerously and put him on the screen of the inner hall: "those ministers have no hope. Can the wild goose king have hope? Well
An Changqing was not afraid of him at all. She twisted her eyebrows and pretended to think about it. Unexpectedly, she raised her head and gave him a kiss on the lips. She said with a smile, "I naturally have hope."
Xiao Zhige licked the moist corners of his lips. He went to look for his lips and murmured in a low voice: "is that right? When you kiss me Now, what are you looking forward to? "
The breath was taken away, and an Changqing opened her eyes. Before she could speak, she was brought into a more wonderful world
***
in the next few days, an Changqing no longer deliberately stayed in the palace. When she was free, she went to live in yanwang mansion for a day or two. Sure enough, a few days later, Huai Rushan went to visit him.
At that time, an Changqing was drying books in yanwang mansion. There was nothing wrong in the hospital, so Xiao Yu Xiao also helped in the palace. When an Fu came in to spread news, an Changqing raised her eyebrows, wiped her sweat and changed her clothes. Looking at Yu Xiao, who was drinking water, she thought about it and took him with her.
Yu Xiao is ten years old. Since he brought her back from Liangzhou, she has been studying medicine with Hu Shifei. Now she's full of energy and energy. She looks more and more beautiful. The fish scale red lines on her face are more and more harmonious. After a long time, she doesn't feel ugly. On the contrary, she has a kind of strange beauty.
An Changqing has been guessing that Yu Xiao and he are of the same race. Thinking of Huai Rushan, who came to visit, he had a tentative mind and simply took Yu Xiao with him. He was worried that Yu Xiao would be cheated by Huai Rushan when she was young. He told her, "you should guard against the guest who will take you to see. If you ask about the red lines on your face or your life experience, you can't say that you don't know about casual clothes."
Yu Xiao was very clever and immediately understood what he meant. Take his hand and follow him quietly and cleverly.
Huairushan is invited to the front hall to wait. When an Changqing leads Yu Xiao in, he deliberately observes his expression. As expected, huairushan's eyes are fixed when he sees them. Then he naturally got up to meet an Changqing.
"I heard that the king of wild goose was in the mansion. He came here to harass me."
An Changqing said with a smile: "King Yu's presence is far away from you. How can you talk about the trouble?"
Two people you come to me to say a few polite words, huairushan just said the intention, the day before yesterday Yejing city a very popular storyteller returned from a long journey, this afternoon will be the opening, huairushan very curious, invited an Changqing to listen.
An Changqing wanted to test him, so naturally he would not refuse. But he looked at Yu gauze in embarrassment and said, "when my friend's little apprentice comes to be a guest, can you take him with you?"
"Naturally." Huai Rushan asked with a smile: "this young man is very delicate and lovely. I think the good friend of Wang Ye is also a smart person."
An Changqing laughed, but didn't take his words, just said: "that's good, I'll call the servants to prepare the car."
