Thousands of Miles of the Same Wind + Fanwai

Zhong Liran pursed his lips, and continued, "There are so many servants in the palace, how can I lack someone to take care of me. Gu Siyuan, why did you come back?"

"Of course I'm worried about His Majesty."

"You came back just because you were worried about me?" Zhong Liran looked at her face seriously, not missing a trace of expression on her face, and asked tentatively, "Then do you miss me?"

Gu Siyuan nodded, "Thought."

A gleam of joy flashed in Zhong Liran's eyes, and he continued to ask, "Then Gu Siyuan, do you like me?"

"If you are not my queen, do you still like me?"

She asked very straightforwardly, Gu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I like it." She has liked this child very much since she was a child, otherwise how could she pamper her so much.

Zhong Liran was like all young people who got a reply from their sweetheart, with a look of joy on his face, and then said softly, "Well, I like you very much too. I like you very much."

It's just that she still doesn't understand that their preferences are different for the time being.

Chapter 40 Eight.4

Young and passionate, and the woman he likes the most, Zhong Liran, who only thought he had received a response, inevitably loved Gu Siyuan a little more, and also showed a lot of tenderness.

Zhong Liran has always loved Gu Siyuan very much, even in an extremely awkward way, she could feel the dull Gu Siyuan when she was young.Not to mention that Zhong Liran grew up day by day, and gradually became more frank in front of her, such affection became even more obvious.

Gu Siyuan knew that she was kind to him, so he doubled his sympathy for her.The two of them have been very lingering during this period of time, and they seem to hit it off, and they are really envious of others.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, on this day Zhong Liran gave the officials a holiday, and ordered the guards to send festive gifts to each family.The emperor only held a simple family banquet in Weiyang Palace, celebrating the festival with the members of the royal family who were still staying in Yuanzhou City.

There are no stars tonight, and the huge moon hangs in the sky like a disc.The bright moonlight rubbed against the shadows of the trees, reflecting the mottled ground.Rows of bright lanterns hang above the courtyard of Weiyang Palace, and the surrounding tree branch lamp holders illuminate the spacious courtyard.A cool night breeze blows, blowing incense all over the courtyard.

The nobles sat at the square table in the middle of the courtyard, put their hands on the table, and rubbed a pile of mahjong to make a clattering sound.The younger children were spinning the small windmills in their hands in the distance, and they were flying Kongming lanterns with the nurses.

Zhong Liran was sitting next to Gu Siyuan, watching her play mahjong with Da Siming and others.She was unlucky today, and she lost a big one in the first game. After a lap, she simply gave up her seat to her cousin, and went to Gu Siyuan's side to watch her play mahjong with Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan has always been lucky, and surrounded by a group of supervisor Tiansi, he got a big mess.Zhong Lidai happened to be competing with her on the same stage, and when he saw her win, he said angrily, "The queen won't let me, old man, if I win two big ones in a row, if I continue to win, my aunt will have no money to lose to you."

Gu Siyuan smiled but said nothing, the emperor sat beside her and explained: "I just lost a round, and I have to let the queen win a few rounds before I can come back."

"Listen, Your Majesty's words." Zhong Lidai clicked his tongue, and Zhong Lihui, who was on the same stage with the Empress Dowager, interjected, "Auntie, this is the benefit of getting married."

Hearing this, Li Ran played a card slowly, looked at Zhong Liyue who was on the same stage, and pointed out, "Isn't it the advantage of getting married? After your Majesty's wedding, the weather will be smooth and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Ming Zhuo, you are already in your twenties. I will also get the fief next year, so I should think about getting married."

"This Xiu'er is almost at the age of engagement, and you, an older brother, haven't settled down yet."

The Xiuer mentioned by the Empress Dowager refers to Zhonglixiu, the eldest son of Zhonglihui.Zhonglixiu is only fifteen years old, but he matured so precociously like his mother, and he already had someone he likes, and he planned to get engaged after the next year.

Zhong Liran is the king of Wan, and he still hasn't gone to the fief after the age of 20. His status in the court is really embarrassing.In the early years, he was ambitious and wanted to marry a powerful family.Now that Zhong Liran's general situation has been decided, no matter how angry he is, he has dissipated a little bit of dissatisfaction.It's just that this sweetheart has never been there, so she has never been married.

Hearing what his grandmother said, he felt a little helpless, "Grandma, my grandson doesn't even have anyone to be happy with, so who is he going to marry?"

"You, you know how to dance guns and clubs all day long, and you don't know how to make love, so you should learn from Xiu'er."

"And you, Xiu'er, don't be too playful. Aijia has heard from your mother several times that your assessment is a mess."

Xu is getting old, so Li Ran can't help talking about it.She talked about the juniors, but she didn't come to the emperor's table.

A round of mahjong was played, and the maids served new refreshments.In addition to the moon cakes that must be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also rice dumplings prepared by the Empress Dowager for the children.The Chu royal family did not have to eat zongzi during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Emperor Ming liked to eat zongzi and couldn't eat more, so Li Ran would prepare some for her every festival.

Now that Emperor Ming passed away for many years, Li Ran has not changed this habit.On such a festival, prepare the food that Emperor Ming likes, as if she is still alive.

Zhong Liran also liked these fragrant and waxy things very much. After the maids brought them out, Zhong Liran, who hadn't touched the mahjong, peeled one by himself.The fragrant zong leaves were pushed aside, revealing the colorful and fragrant glutinous zongzi.Zhong Liran took a bite on his lips, and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

She thought it was delicious, so she reached out and put the rice dumpling near Gu Siyuan's lips, and fed her a mouthful.After seeing Gu Siyuan biting the music, he took another bite. The two of you ate a zongzi.After Zhong Liran finished feeding Gu Siyuan, he took the brocade handkerchief handed over by the maid, and stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of her mouth carefully.

The two were so close that they forgot about others for a while.

Da Si Ming sat opposite them, and said a little helplessly, "Your Majesty and the Empress are indeed a destined marriage, and they really love each other."

When she made a sound, Gu Siyuan was startled.For some reason, a trace of shame flashed through the always calm woman's heart.Gu Siyuan hurriedly said softly, "Your Majesty has always been considerate, please don't make fun of me."

Da Si Ming laughed when he heard the words, "Your Majesty Wan Wang and the Queen forgave the minister's rudeness, so I couldn't help but interjected. The love of the emperor and empress is really a blessing for the country."

Zhong Liran wiped his hands with a brocade handkerchief, and after wiping, he said slowly, "It's good that the chief minister knows." Then he asked Gu Siyuan softly what he wanted to eat.Gu Siyuan was afraid that he would lose his composure again, but he refused to ask for anything.

It wasn't until the moon was in the middle of the sky that the Empress Dowager led a group of people to let the Kongming lanterns fly, and then the families dispersed.Zhong Liran took Gu Siyuan all the way back to the Chen Palace, and released a Kongming lantern with her in the Chen Palace as in previous years.

Standing in the courtyard under the moon, the emperor looked up at the Kongming Lantern dedicated to his parents as it flew farther and farther into the night sky, turned his head to look at the rising Kongming Lantern dotted with stars in the distance, turned his head to look at Gu Siyuan, and said softly, " Gu Siyuan, why didn't you let me continue feeding you just now?"

The young man's eyes were clear and extremely soft.Gu Siyuan was a little helpless, and said softly, "Your Majesty, many people are watching."

"What's the matter, aren't you and I like this in the past?" Zhong Liran bent down and looked at her.The two were very close, and their breathing was intertwined.

The night wind blew from behind, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard whirled and swayed with the wind, making rustling sounds.Gu Siyuan dodged his gaze for a moment, Zhong Liran's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly leaned over to hold her lips.

Gu Siyuan raised his head, parted his lips lightly, and accepted the kiss.She reached out and wrapped her arms around the emperor's slender waist.Zhong Liran raised his hand, put his arms around her back, and bit her lower lip lightly.

Gu Siyuan was in pain, and the next moment he fell into a bewildered kiss.Everything began to become chaotic, the moonlight gradually blurred, breathing slowly became chaotic, and even the rhythm of the chest was also chaotic.

After the long kiss, Zhong Liran bent down, picked up the panting woman in his arms, and walked towards the brightly lit place.

Gu Siyuan nestled in her arms, looked up at the lanterns swaying in the wind in the corridor on the top, and clearly saw the delicate face of the girl on her body.In her memory, there has never been a time like this.Everything seems to be clear, yet everything feels blurry.

She raised her head in a daze, stroked the girl's cheek, and called her "Your Majesty" softly, with a lingering voice that Zhong Liran had never heard before.

It was like the night when Zhong Liran woke up a year ago, it was also very bright moonlight, and they returned to the inner hall in a different moonlight.

Zhong Liran was very patient, she gently placed Gu Siyuan on the bed, then squatted down, and took off Gu Siyuan's shoes.The jade feet are in the hand, exuding a glistening white light.Zhong Liran stared at it, carefully put it on the bed, took a deep look at Gu Siyuan, got up and poured tea to wash his hands.

Gu Siyuan hugged his knees and sat on the bed, watching her wipe her hands dry, then took off her robe and put on the bed.The young emperor shrouded her oppressively, and whispered to her, "Gu Siyuan, let me enjoy the flowers."
