Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

"Has Tianxuan arrived in Hezhou now?"

It was hot and dry coming in from the outside, several ice basins were placed in the hall, and cold incense was lit, Tianshu knelt down and said: "Report to Your Majesty, Lord Tianxuan has arrived in Hezhou, and we can join Lord Yuan tomorrow."

Chu Jun didn't rest in his hands, took out a notebook and continued to read, and said slowly: "Yuan Sui is the presiding judge, and she has the final say on everything. Order Tianxuan to protect Yuan Sui well, and there must be no negligence."

Tianshu lowered his head in response, but felt that her complexion was a bit ugly today, and she was sick and haggard, but her eyes were still clear, and she didn't look like a sick person.

After she exited the hall, Chu Jun asked Liu Zhen: "Is my current appearance ugly?"

Liu Zhen looked at it for a while, and said: "I have seen some seriously ill people, and it is indeed described as such, but your Majesty... has more eyes than ordinary people."

Chu Jun lowered his eyelids, put down the pen in his hand, touched his face and said, "It's good to be like, true and false, false and true, if you don't muddy the water, how can you know that there will be what fish."

Liu Zhendao: "If Your Majesty wants to know how a seriously ill person behaves, it is better to ask the court judge."

Chu Jun shook his head with a smile, and said, "That's unnecessary, didn't Tianshu see anything just now, that's all."

Liu Zhen thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, can you visit the harem today?"

The playful smile on Chu Jun's face was even bigger, and he walked down from the throne and said: "I am still in the middle of filial piety. Although I keep filial piety with the day instead of the moon, it is still not appropriate to get close to the harem. Many things will happen."

Because in the name of benevolence and filial piety, keeping filial piety for the first emperor is also sincere and sincere, and there is nothing to blame for love and propriety, and he can beat the clan ministers by the way, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"There should always be something to look forward to." Chu Jun casually unfolded his long sleeves, "The one from Xiyuan...how is it now?"

Liu Zhen said softly: "A few days ago I asked the imperial physician for consultation, and it has been more than five months." She raised her eyes, Chu Jun slightly turned her head, and said, "Huh?"

"The fetal pulse is safe, is it as His Majesty said before..."

"No." Chu Jun made an interrupting gesture to stop her words, "Wait a little longer, there is no rush."

She turned her head and said: "Call Xie Qi into the palace."

The shade of the trees outside the Yuxiao Temple is thick and lush, and the cicadas are singing, disturbing people's hearts.A few palace servants took the bamboo poles in nets to stick the cicadas on the branches, their cheeks were reddened by the scorching sun.Xie Qi stood under the sun and watched, and loosened the skirt of his clothes, but the collar was too high, which was of no avail.Although it was the scorching sun, her heart was icy cold.

She came to the palace today to ask the emperor to leave.

In fact, this kind of matter did not need to be presented to the imperial court, but she still hesitated in her heart, and she secretly resorted to some methods to let the emperor know, which is why she was summoned into the palace today.

On such a hot day, people were stuffed in the heavy court clothes, almost breathless.Xie Qi waited patiently for a while, and when she heard the ringing of the flat bell, she knew that it was the Qinzheng Palace. After a while, someone from the palace came to ask her to go to the outer hall of the Qinzheng Palace to wait for the call. Xie Qi took a deep breath, and his eyes fell on In the shade of the tree, those palace attendants were no longer there, and the disturbing cicadas also disappeared.

She couldn't help feeling a little dazed. It turned out that the cicadas didn't disappear when the autumn frost dyed the leaves yellow. As long as one has the heart, they can also disappear without a trace in this hot summer.

Even if he had been dormant in the dark soil for decades, once he saw the light, he would not end well.Had I known this earlier, I might as well have ended the rest of my life in the mud.

Even if midsummer is so bright, it can't last as long as leaves fall and autumn is cold.However, life is alive, like mist and water, unbearable to be squandered by wind and sand, and the length is no more than a year, why do you have the delusion of living in the world for a long time?

When she reached the outer hall, she didn't have to be exposed to the sun all the time, so she breathed a sigh of relief.The palace servants moved the melted ice basin out of the palace, Xie Qi felt his throat was dry, but after a while, a female official in a light purple robe came out of the palace, she recognized that it was Liu Zhen, the eldest palace maid next to the emperor, and bowed. : "Liu Shangnv."

Liu Zhen returned the courtesy and said: "Thank you sir, Your Majesty has summoned you, please come with your slaves."

Xie Qi looked at her back with a trace of displeasure flashing across his brows. Liu Zhen had always been indifferent to her. Maybe Xie's family didn't try to court her in private, but this person was too oily and reticent.But a few days ago, she seemed to have committed some crimes and was fined several months of salary. The emperor brought up another court lady to share some of her affairs. Only after that court lady came to power did she know how much this person was related to the Xie family. Even though Liu Zhen was punished, she was the one who served the emperor personally.

This makes people somewhat confused.

Xie Qi knew that the emperor seemed cold, but he was a nostalgic person.It is probably because they have gone through adversity together, and they can't bear to be harsh on the old people who serve by their side.In any dynasty, the emperor didn't reuse the people around him first. She understood this truth, so she entered the palace early to make a long history.

However, His Majesty never believed her.

No matter how much she did, she could always feel the gaze of the man on the throne, never staying on her body.It is not necessary to say so, His Majesty's promotion of the Xie family and the reuse of the people recommended by the Xie family are all sympathetic to the kindness of the ministers, and it does not seem to be that he does not take it to heart.

After entering the hall, a cold fragrance came rushing towards his face, Xie Qi keenly smelled the bitter medicinal fragrance in the fragrance, walked in calmly, knelt down and saluted: "I see Your Majesty."

"Get up."

Chu Jun on the throne lowered his eyes, looking a little listless, Xie Qi said: "Your Majesty's holy body is hindered, you should rest more, I can't share your worries, I'm really impatient."

"I really want to rest, but these things—" Chu Jun stretched out his hand, and there was a high pile of memorials on the table, "I have no time to rest, how can I rest?"

Xie Qi was dumb, and immediately knelt down and said, "It's the minister who is incompetent."

Chu Jun looked at her and said, "You did a good job, don't blame yourself, Liu Zhen, please help Mrs. Xie up."

Xie Qi respectfully said: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't know why His Majesty summoned the ministers into the palace today?"

Chu Jun said: "I heard that you are going to ask for leave, is there something wrong?"

Xie Qi said: "I am ashamed. My grandfather is seriously ill. I sent a letter to Beijing. I hope I can rush back to see you one last time."

Chu Jun coughed a few times, took a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and said in a muffled voice, "You should be filial to your sons and daughters, how can I not allow it? This is human nature, you just go."

Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted again: "Thank you for your kindness."

Chu Jun coughed for a while, unable to hide his fatigue, Liu Zhen took the medicine bowl and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."

Xie Qi sideways avoided, stood under His Majesty Dan, glanced at Chu Jun's face, saw that her breathing was unstable, her complexion was pale, and her lips were colorless. She was used to seeing this person calm and unflappable. Surprised.

Suddenly she noticed that some red was showing from the soft handkerchief on the table, and her heart skipped a beat.

How could this be so, obviously...

Chu Jun seemed to be a little drowsy, so he pulled himself together and said, "Go back, go back and take a good look at your grandfather, go."

Xie Qi bowed her head and saluted, with lingering fears in her heart, only after she left the palace did she realize that her palms were wet and cold, and she broke out in a cold sweat despite the scorching sun.

She glanced back at Qinzheng Hall, and left without looking back.

Chu Jun put down the medicine bowl in the hall, Liu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, this servant seems to have something on his mind when looking at Mr. Xie."

Chu Jun said lightly: "How can you not hide what's on your mind? Thank you family, I'm used to being suspicious."

"Let her be so suspicious. The more she doubts, the more she will show her feet. Xie Jiayuan is in Hezhou, and his strength is strong." She slid her fingertips across the pages and said thoughtfully, "Why has it been so difficult for a single step in the past hundred years?" Have you never set foot in the north of Lingnan, but you have lived in the south of the Lingnan for generations?"

"So, you are here to study in Chenzhou?"

"No, I am originally from Yunzhou, and I came here to visit my old friends."

Qingping smiled and said: "Looking at your behavior, you must be a student of Yunzhou?"

"Student? Don't dare to be, how can I be a scholar! You are too polite, my surname is Zhao, and my name is one yuan. I don't know how to call you?"

There is a cool breeze, and the boat is sailing on an open river. Occasionally, birds will prey on swimming fish, and the boat will plunge into the deep mountains with a light and graceful posture.

Qingping looked at Li Yan, then at the guards, paused for a moment under Zhao Yuan's expectant gaze, and said, "I believe in Li, and he is named Huaizhi."

Li Yan turned his head away, clenched his hands into fists and coughed a few times.

Zhao Yuan turned a deaf ear to it, and said with a smile, "That's such a good name, hahaha."

Her official speech was a little out of tune, mixed with Yunzhou dialect, which sounded a bit funny.

Qingping almost wanted to laugh, but held back, reluctantly said: "Liao Zan."

Zhao Yuan arched his hands and said enthusiastically: "No, it's really good."

People in Yunzhou have always been hospitable and hospitable, Qingping asked some trivial matters, Zhao Yuan answered them one by one, and complained to her during the period that his new clothes with five taels of silver were ruined, saying: "I just arrived in Chenzhou, hey, Just give me a warning, look at my clothes! Don’t mention it, what a shame! You are new here, the people in this place are very strange, so be careful.”

Qingping's heart moved, and he casually said: "This place has beautiful mountains and rivers. Although some places have not been civilized, they are still good."

"What's so good!" Zhao Yuan waved his hand, as if he didn't want to talk more, but he leaned over and said, "I'm a god, why do you worship every day..." Seeing that Li Yan was a little displeased, she pulled her sleeves and smiled. After some distance, he said: "God, hell, it doesn't look like a peaceful land!"

Li Yan thought you were right, didn't you almost get thrown into the river to feed the fish just now?

Qingping laughed twice, and said: "If you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you won't have it. You just go to the village and do as the Romans do. It doesn't matter if you worship God or something."

Zhao Yuan let out an ah, and said slowly: "So, you also came for that 'Watching the Sea Banquet'?"

Qingping didn't expect her to change the subject so quickly, he paused and said, "Yes, we came here just for the 'sea-watching banquet'."

Zhao Yuan looked over with a clear look, and said, "I knew it was like this. There are quite a few people who came for this 'Watching the Sea Banquet' recently."

She smiled and leaned over, without the bearing of a scholar, even the guards couldn't help avoiding it, and thinking that Qingping hadn't moved, she forcibly endured it.Zhao Yuan seemed unaware, and said, "I guess what you are here for!"

Qingping looked at Li Yan with some surprise. The group of people did not wear any signs when they went out. Could this be seen?

Zhao Yuan actually took out a handful of melon seeds from his waist pocket and knocked them. He threw the melon seeds casually and flew to the face of the man at the bow. The man was about to scold someone, but when he saw it was her, he quickly closed his mouth. Changed place.Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes, muttered about my clothes, and smiled with a smile that you understand me, and said: "Although you are wearing common clothes, you seem to have read books. I must have come here this time to find some clothes. Fresh gossip and anecdotes!"

Li Yan thought she was going to reveal her identity as an adult, so she was a little nervous. It might as well be speechless when she said this suddenly.

Qing Ping smiled slightly: "How can you see that?"

Zhao Yuan knocked melon seeds happily, and said: "Hey, I opened the ship when I passed the customs and checked it. There is a large stack of legendary scripts in your cage! Boss Li, don't pretend to be confused with me!" , first tell me which bookstore you are from?"

Qingping's calm posture finally showed a crack, she was rarely in such a mess.Li Yan could hardly bear it anymore, put his hands on the guard's shoulders, covered his face with his sleeves, trembling unceasingly.

Qingping felt a little unbelievable, did she actually look like a book seller?
