snowstorm

In the cold winter, Jizhou in the north is desolate and chilling. The snow falls a lot, and the earth is as crystal clear as jade and covered with silver.A long river divides the north and the south into two worlds, and the grass and trees in the south of the long river are still green and green everywhere.Although the cold air in the north becomes thinner as you go south, there are still strong winds on the banks of the Yangtze River in winter.

Lu Jue took Xie Qiao all the way south in a carriage under the escort of the golden-armored soldiers. When they passed Luzhou and arrived at Wuyi Town in Chuzhou, it was already night.In winter, the wind in the river is stronger and it is not suitable to cross the river, so Lu Jue took Xie Qiao to stay in an inn by the river, preparing to cross the river the next day.

After crossing the Yangtze River, it is Jinling.

Lu Jue took a room on the second floor. The window in the room faced south. When the window was opened, the cold river wind came in. Below that was the mighty river flowing eastward.Xie Qiao was lying by the window, his forehead hair was messed up by the river wind.His eyes reflected the dark water of the river, as well as the faintly bright lights on the opposite bank.There is Jinling.

Lu Jue said that Jinling is Xie Qiao's hometown, which he also said in the first life.Xie Qiao has fallen in love with this place since he first set foot on the land of Jinling.He thought, Lu Jue must not know that the reason why he loves Jinling is not because Jinling is his hometown, his hometown, but because the good water and soil in Jinling raised a fairy-like Lu Jue.

As long as he thinks that Lu Jue was born in this place, Lu Jue once stepped on every bridge in Jinling and swam every river in the Huai River in a boat during those times when he was unable to participate, and his eyes reflected Jinling The bright lights of the city, his voice praised the warm smoke of Jinling City, he was born and raised in this place, and the mountains, rivers and fireworks of this place flowed in his blood, so he couldn't help but love this place.

He has seen the warmth and coldness of people since he was a child. For him, no matter how prosperous a city is, it is cold. He would think that Jinling City is a warm city, only because of Lu Jue.

"Did you see it? There is Jinling."

Lu Jue entered the room at some point and tapped Xie Qiao on the head lightly.Probably because of the mention of his homeland, there was warmth in his voice.

Xie Qiao turned to look at him, Lu Jue's star-like eyes reflected the candlelight in the room, looking so warm.

"Is it nice there?" Lu Jue asked him with a smile.

"It looks good." Xie Qiao looked into his eyes and nodded.

"You'll be there tomorrow." The smile in Lu Jue's eyes was even warmer. He stepped forward and lifted Xie Qiao off the chair, put him on the ground, and then closed the window with his hands: "So don't look at it now. Daddy With the windows wide open in winter, won’t you be cold?”

"It's okay." Xie Qiao sneezed as soon as he finished speaking.

Lu Jue: "..."

There was a basin of steaming water on the table, Lu Jue pulled Xie Qiao over, and wiped his hands and face with a hot towel, Xie Qiao looked at Lu Jue's white jade-like hands holding the towel to greet his face, The sentence "Actually, I can do it myself" swallowed into my stomach.

Is it cheap? Don't take it for nothing.

After Lu Jue cleaned his face, he went to wash himself. After finishing everything and put the room in order, he saw him sitting on the bed obediently, not crying or fussing, not like a child.Thinking of the environment in which the child grew up, Lu Jue secretly sighed, thinking about teasing the child.

He sat beside Xie Qiao, pinched Xie Qiao's thin face with his hands, and said with a smile, "You just said that Jinling is beautiful?"

Xie Qiao nodded.

"You told me that I was pretty in the carriage a few days ago."

Xie Qiao froze for a moment, then continued to nod.

"Then tell me, Jinling City is more beautiful, or me?"

Several fireworks exploded in Xie Qiao's heart instantly. Did he think that the young Lu Jue in his previous life was like this?When he was young, did he love to laugh so much that he would tease people?At that time, because of his experience in that family, he was vigilant and hostile to everyone. Even if he realized that Lu Jue's kindness was true, he almost ignored him along the way.Then when his elder brother died suddenly and he ascended the throne, and the burden was on Lu Jue, he became a person who couldn't laugh.

"Of course you look good." Xie Qiao said without any hesitation.

Lu Jue laughed out loud, his eyes glistening, he rubbed Xie Qiao's hair, and said in a clear voice, "Then, I will be praised by Your Highness."

"Your Highness?" Xie Qiao looked at him.

Lu Jue raised his eyebrows, and said, "Did you just remember to ask now? Although you heard the general idea in the courtyard, you didn't know the details. Why didn't you know to ask me along the way?" Lu Jue was slender Pointing at Xie Qiao's head: "Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you?"

Xie Qiao didn't say a word on the face, but in his heart he wanted to know that I didn't say anything, and I would tell you if I didn't ask, not to mention that no trafficker looks like you.

"Your name is Xie Qiao, and you are His Majesty's younger brother." Having already started talking, Lu Jue began to tell Xie Qiao about his life experience.In the last life, Xie Qiao was too vigilant, so Lu Jue said this first before he followed him.

"When the first emperor was here, Concubine Qian was the only one who favored her, and she was always in the limelight in the harem. She killed the concubines and the first emperor's heirs in the harem. Your mother, concubine and natal family were all murdered. In order for you to survive, your mother and concubine entrusted her trusted palace maid After carrying you out of the palace, the maid fled all the way north from Jinling, only to escape Qian Guifei's pursuit, and you survived."

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, knowing that you were living abroad, he asked me to take you home. I tried my best to find you in Jizhou."

Xie Qiao heard that Lu Jue used the word "he" and the word "tuo", which is not a word used between monarchs and ministers.Xie Qiao thought that the friendship between his brother and Lu Jue was probably too shallow when compared only with the monarch and his ministers.The two of them are the same age, and they have known each other since they were presidents. Since then, they have known each other and grown up together. They cherish each other and have common aspirations and ideals.His elder brother was able to ascend to the throne on the side of the Qing Dynasty, half of which was due to the help of Lu Jue and the Lu family.

Lu Jue is interested in his elder brother, if his elder brother is also interested, then they are the best couple, so what is Xie Qiao?His elder brother has great kindness to him, and Lu Jue also has great kindness to him. In the last life, he asked himself that he had lived up to his brother's entrustment and kept Dasheng, but he failed Lu Jue.

"I'm sorry." In the new life, Xie Qiao looked at such a lively young man Lu Jue, and blurted out the words that had been suppressed in his heart for seven years: "Brother Huaiyu, I'm sorry."

Lu Jue, whose name is Huaiyu.Jue, a jade pendant, is like a ring but lacks it, and a gentleman can make a decision and wear it; Yu, Jin Yu, a beautiful jade, is also worn by a gentleman.Lu Jue is a resolute and resolute general, and also a gentleman who loves elegance and music.Such a beautiful person, but died under the cold arrow, how can a sorry can make up for it?

But there is nothing else to say except "I'm sorry".

Fortunately, come back again.Xie Qiao thought to himself, brother Huaiyu, I will protect you with my life in this life to atone for my sin.

Lu Jue looked at Xie Qiao with a funny face and wondered, and said, "Did you just get blown away? I'm sorry?"

"Huh?" After a pause, Lu Jue realized something else: "You called me brother?" He laughed and said, "I'm really happy that you called me brother, but the first time you called me brother, I will call you brother tomorrow." If I enter the city, I will have to be taught a lesson by your own brother. I can't beat him."

In the previous life, Xie Zheng died young, and his posthumous title was "Wu". Xie Zheng, Emperor Wu, was decisive in killing and attacking, brave and courageous.

"Don't you want me to call you brother?"

Xie Qiao put on a pitiful and sad look on his face.The lethality was really great. Lu Jue felt that he had hurt the child's heart, so he quickly followed Xie Qiao's hair and said, "Call, call, call whatever you want, listen to you call brother, even if I beat your brother tomorrow One meal, no complaints."

Xie Qiao smiled, the young Lu Jue really softened his heart.

……

The second day was a sunny day, although there was still wind along the river, it was not strong, and the boat sailed steadily in such a wind.Xie Zheng received Lu Jue's letter and specially sent a boat to pick him up.Lu Jue took Xie Qiao onto the boat.As soon as he entered the cabin, Xie Qiao sat down and held onto the boat pole tightly: he is afraid of water and loves seasickness.

In his previous life, he was taken into Jinling by Lu Jue at the age of nine, and lived in Jinling for 27 years, but he still hadn't cured his fear of water.There is Huai River in Jinling City, and the Yangtze River outside. In this way, Xie Qiao has never taken a boat for a few trips.Even the small boats in the Huaishui River have never been in it.

His fear of going into the water was etched into his bones and blood.Even if it goes through another life, it hasn't changed.

Lu Jue thought that this child who grew up in the north might be afraid of water and seasickness, but he didn't expect him to be so afraid.He blamed himself for a while, so he went to Xie Qiao, patted his head, and said, "Don't be afraid, the boat sent by His Majesty is big and stable, so it won't shake too much."

Xie Qiao still held on to the boat pole.

Lu Jue simply sat down beside him, took out a brocade bag from his arms, opened the bag, and found a small pile of amber transparent candies.He picked up a piece with his jade-like hand and stuffed it directly into Xie Qiao's mouth.

A burst of coolness melted on the tip of Xie Qiao's tongue, and rushed into his nasal cavity. He blinked, and Lu Jue said, "Before crossing the river, I guessed that you would be seasick, so I bought this by someone. There is mint in it. It will make you feel better—are you feeling better now?"

It is true that a big boat is much more stable than a small boat, but no matter how stable it is, it is still traveling on water. As long as Xie Qiao thinks that he is in the water, he cannot stop the fear in his heart.He is afraid of water is a heart disease.But Lu Jue's candy really made him feel better, so he nodded.

Lu Jue was curious, so he asked directly: "Why are you so afraid of water?" Although he grew up in the north, it's normal for him to be afraid of water, but ordinary people get into a big boat and can't see the water, so their fear will be greatly reduced, but thank you Joe's face turned pale as if he would fall into the water in the next second.

Xie Qiao glanced at Lu Jue, but said nothing.It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he has no way to say it, because at this time in his last life, he was not afraid of water.He was afraid of the source of water and his heart disease after entering Jinling City.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Jue didn't force him. He just took his hand off the boat post, put it on his arm, and said with a smile, "If you're so afraid, grab me. I'm better than that post." Are you reliable?"

Xie Qiao grabbed Lu Jue's arm, and the red brocade robe under his hand was warm, carrying his body temperature.The young Yubai put his hands on his knees, and his upper body was as tall as a jade tree, as if it would always support him and never fall down.

So Xie Qiao suddenly felt that the most terrifying water in the world seemed to be less scary to him.
