Thousands of Miles of the Same Wind + Fanwai

Dong dong dong, the adjudicator beat the army drum, and then shouted to the surroundings: "Du Jianyue, come on!" After the voice fell, the field was boiling.

The Empress Dowager looked at the neat appearance of the woman driving the horse back, turned her head to look at Zuo Cheng Du Mingwei who was sitting next, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the child has grown up so much, this sassy appearance is really It reminded Aijia of Aiqing's swiftness in winning the first prize at the willow feast. This kid is so capable now, where does he hold a job?"

Du Mingwei was the champion selected by Emperor Ming in the imperial examination room 20 years ago, but after the death of Emperor Ming, she had many disagreements with Zhong Liran in political matters.

Although Zuo Cheng Du Mingwei has passed his forties, he has been well maintained and looks like an extremely elegant, mature and steady beauty.She smiled, bowed her hands to the Empress Dowager, and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, she is now working in the Golden Robe Guard of Ximen, she is not a very successful child."

"Ximen?" Li Ran smiled and said, "When Ai's family saw her in the spring, I thought she was a quiet child. I didn't realize that she was so good at martial arts. By the way, this child has reached the age of starting a family, is she engaged?"

Du Ming smiled and said, "Go back to the Empress Dowager, that child has never been engaged."

Li Ran nodded and said with a smile: "It's better for young people to start a family first and then start a career. You should also remind yourself." Du Siwei laughed and covered up the matter.

Gu Siyuan, on the other hand, heard Du Jianyue's name, glanced at him from a distance, and said to Zhong Liran, "Is the daughter of Zuo Cheng the queen that the ministers wanted to make for His Majesty?"

Zhong Liran's expectation was that her sharp eyes would be so sharp.Zhong Liran looked up at her, and whispered in her ear: "That's not true, but she is also on the list. She is the third daughter of Zuo Cheng, and her father is Mr. Hong Wenguan. She is about two years younger than you. Be a little gold-robed guard at the west gate of Hongwen Hall."

As soon as Gu Siyuan heard it, she knew there was something tricky in it, so she asked, "What's going on here?"

Zhong Liran told her secretly, saying: "This is a private matter of Zuo Cheng's family. That Du Jianyue was born in a famous family, but he fell in love with the daughter of Cheng Cheng, a good delicacy department of Guanglu Temple."

It is common for the powerful Zuo Cheng not to like him.Gu Siyuan figured it out a little bit, and said to Zhong Liran, "So Prime Minister Du beat the mandarin ducks with a stick?"

Zhong Liran nodded and said, "Isn't that right? Du Jianyue was originally going to be my personal bodyguard. After this incident, he ran away from home in a rage, and then went to work as an errand in Ximen after passing the Jinpaowei examination. .”

"The mother and daughter had a very tense fight, and they haven't reconciled until now."

Although Zhong Liran had no expression when talking about this matter, Gu Siyuan still heard a little bit of joy in her slightly raised tone.It can be seen from this that Zhong Liran really doesn't like his prime minister very much.

Of course, she would not deliberately do something to displease her just because she didn't like the prime minister, such as marrying those two girls, that would be superfluous.

If the marriage is good, Du Jianyue might be grateful to her.If it is not good, there may be complaints.What's more, Zhong Liran hasn't judged whether Du Jianyue can use it or not.Even if it works, it won't change the fact that she is a member of the Du family at heart.

Therefore, Zhong Liran was willing to watch the play, but not necessarily willing to intervene.

Seeing Zhong Liran's intention clearly, Gu Siyuan smiled and fed her a few more grapes.After a few more rounds of competition, the children of the royal family who were still in Yuanzhou also played together.

Five years ago, when Emperor Ming was still alive, according to the precepts of his ancestors, several princes who had already arrived in the fief sent their eldest sons and daughters who had reached the age of ten to study in the Hongwen Museum in the palace.Half of it is to receive teaching, and half is equivalent to being hostage.

At that time, Prince Wan's son Zhong Liyue had just come from Yuezhou, and his mother Wan Wang died of dystocia.So the eldest son Zhong Liyue had been inspected by Emperor Ming's Zechu for a while, and he went through it very carefully.

Only after Emperor Ming got the destiny, he immediately let Zhong Liyue inherit his mother's throne and become the king of Wanzhou.And it was ordered that these princes are not allowed to leave Yuanzhou and return to the fief before they are 20 years old.

Emperor Ming had good intentions for Zhong Liran, but it was somewhat unfair to other royal children.Even so, Zhong Liyue still thrived and became an extremely reliable prince.

The flag envoy waved the command flag, but seeing him take the lead, he was as far ahead as Du Jianyue before, and won the green willow.

The royal family has such a long-faced character, which made the clan present cheer.Li Ran also smiled, and said: "Mingzhuo is not bad, he has put in a lot of effort in riding a boat." Mingzhuo is Zhong Liyue's nickname, and like Zhong Liran, he was given to them by Emperor Ming.

Zhong Liran echoed the Empress Dowager, and said to her: "Yes, Brother Wan's riding skills have always been the best among us." After all, this person is not good at reading, so he can only exercise his muscles.

After two rounds of this, the She Liu Banquet finally came to a successful conclusion.The few people who got the best had a match, and it turned out that Du Jianyue won the green willow first and became the leader of the banquet.Zhong Liyue came next, but he didn't embarrass the royal family much.

The emperor rewarded them as usual, and Zhong Liyue accepted the award. The Empress Dowager Li Ran praised: "Mingzhuo is so outstanding today, and grandma is very pleased. Tell me, what do you want grandma to reward you for?"

This was a reward given by the Empress Dowager because of her love. Zhong Liyue was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It would be great if grandson can make grandma happy. But since grandma said so, grandson really has something to ask for. "

Li Ran said: "Oh, what's the matter, tell me?"

Zhong Liyue said: "When my grandson was 12 years old, I saw the late emperor's bow and pierced the Yang with a hundred steps. I really admired it. My grandson wondered if the emperor's grandmother could give the late emperor's bow to my grandson."

Zhong Liran almost didn't roll her eyes in private. In order to encourage her to learn how to ride a bow, Emperor Ming gave her the imperial bow long ago.Now that bow is hanging in Chen Gong's study, it is absolutely impossible for her to let it out.

Hearing Wan Wang mentioning the first emperor, the Empress Dowager's face remained unchanged.She just smiled and said: "The Ai family can't give you the bow of the first emperor, but the Ai family can do you a good deed. Mingzhuo, you are almost sixteen. The emperor is married, should you be engaged too?" married."

"The Ai family sees Du Aiqing's favorite jewel today, she is beautiful and heroic, how about suggesting a marriage for you?"

As soon as she said this, Du Jianyue, who was kneeling on the field, tensed his back and turned pale instantly.Even Zhong Liyue couldn't hold back his face when he heard this sentence, and replied with a little embarrassment: "Back to grandma, grandson is still young, it's not time to think about it."

Li Ran looked like a good grandmother, and said earnestly: "You have to start a family and start a business. You have to get married before you can start a business. It's good for Jianyue to mourn your family. I can teach you when you are older."

Although Zhong Li was watching a play, he did not forget to greet Gu Siyuan.She stretched out her hand, patted Gu Siyuan, pulled her into the battlefield, and said to herself: "Grandmother, the matter of marriage depends on your love and my wish. You only ask if the emperor is willing or not, and you don't ask little Du Aiqing." Do you want to get married?"

After being slapped, Gu Siyuan quickly came back to his senses, echoed Zhong Liran and said: "Yes, grandma, a marriage is only happy if there is a heart-to-heart relationship. Maybe Brother Wan and Xiao Du Aiqing both have someone they like, wouldn't that be a good thing?" It's a bad thing."

Such interruption by the emperor and empress stopped Li Ran's idea of ​​referring to marriage.Li Ran smiled and didn't mention the matter of referring to the marriage anymore. After smoothing things over, he bestowed some treasures on both of them, and the weird atmosphere in this event finally dissipated.

In this way, the She Liu Banquet finally came to a successful conclusion.Headed by the Empress Dowager, she personally led all the ministers to Shengyuan Palace for a banquet. It was not until the end of the Hai Dynasty that the golden-robed guards sent the ministers back to their respective residences.

Zhong Liran's body wasn't fully grown, although she didn't do anything, it was enough for her to be tired.Gu Siyuan didn't feel much better, after the two returned to the palace, they immediately washed and lay down on the bed, unwilling to move.

Zhong Liran, who has always been diligent, couldn't move his legs. He lay on his soft bed in a snow-white coat, feeling the cool air from the ice mirrors around him, and finally relaxed his body comfortably.

Gu Siyuan was leaning on the bed to read a book, seeing her lying on her stomach like this, he gave her a lift.Using both hands and feet, Zhong Liran threw herself into Gu Siyuan's arms, pillowed her thighs, and buried her cheeks in her flat abdomen.

Without a maid by her side, Zhong Liran didn't put on that air, and showed a rare childish side. She stretched her arms around Gu Siyuan's waist, sniffed the cold fragrance coming from her body, squinted her eyes and said, "Gu Siyuan Siyuan, what are you looking at?"

After getting married, Zhong Liran seldom calls Gu Siyuan the queen unless it is necessary.She is used to Gu Siyuan's name, and has been calling her that in private since her wedding.

Holding the book, Gu Siyuan didn't look at her, but said: "Read some miscellaneous notes."
