New·New Consort

At five watch, the emperor opened his eyes early.

The palace people were busy serving the emperor to dress and freshen up. After dawn, the emperor was about to leave for the Yanshan camp.

"Your Majesty, this is today's golden elixir." Manager Wang bowed his head humbly, holding a tray in his hand.

Because he was reprimanded by the gods as a sacrificial sacrifice during the Cold Clothes Festival, the emperor did not let the prince participate in the sacrificial process this time, but decided to do it all himself.But after all, he is old and lacks energy, so he can only rely on the golden elixir of immortality to hang his spirits.

Looking at the golden elixir, the emperor nodded slightly, then sat down on his own, and had breakfast.

Mr. Wang swiftly cut open the golden core with a delicate little golden knife, first tested it with a silver needle, then cut off a small piece, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

The emperor had recently been a vegetarian for the big sacrifice, not touching fishy smell. At this moment, he was stirring the extremely fragrant and sticky japonica rice porridge in the bowl, feeling lost.

Concubine Ju asked to see her last night, she took the initiative to ask to take the little prince to stay in the palace, not to go to Xiantai.

He was a little surprised, but agreed without much hesitation.

Everyone said that he was taking a big risk in seeking immortality, but he never thought about it. He has been in power for 30 years, and he knows the way of employing people and checks and balances. Become a pawn.

In the inner court, there is the manager Wang who is well-versed in medicine to control his food; in the outer court, there are cabinets that control each other to control political affairs for him.The receiving platform was built by the crown prince himself, and the soldiers and guards in Yanshan were all handwritten by Zhang Shaomin. He had nothing to worry about, but was more curious about how Yuxian would behave on the receiving platform. and look forward to.

Control without death, vertical without chaos.

His imperial mind has reached the peak, no one can get out of it!

After drinking the porridge, the emperor cleansed his face again, swallowed the golden elixir on the table in one gulp, and stepped on the imperial chariot.

Although the winter is cold, these few days are rarely sunny.The warm sun was shining in the afternoon, blowing a piece of deep blue pines and cypresses, embellishing the heroic landscape of the northern country with a bit of elegance under the blue sky. Even the frozen streams heard a few cracking sounds, as if eager to try To restore turbulent rapids.The dignitaries who lived in the city for a long time were huddled in the carriage with their hands on the stove, but at this moment they couldn't help sticking their heads out to take a few breaths of the cold and fresh air, and looked at the scenery here curiously.

After walking for another half an hour, I walked around a desolate dense forest, and suddenly my eyes opened up.

Thousands of thick felt tents are neatly stationed in the flat area at the foot of the mountain, stretching for seven or eight miles from the beginning to the end.

Climbing up the mountain, the first thing I saw was a majestic city wall, and behind the city wall, a high platform stood tall, shining golden and dazzling under the setting sun.

The emperor got out of the car and walked slowly. When he saw the ladder for the first time, his heart was still a little dizzy, but when he saw the radiant Jiexiantai, he felt very relieved for a moment: it was three feet three feet from the sky and ninety-nine thousand ninety-nine feet away from the earth. Is it satisfied?He couldn't help but turned his head and gave the prince an approving look.

Seeing the emperor's demeanor, all the officials praised in unison, they all praised the beauty and elegance here, and they would definitely invite the gods to bless the emperor and prolong his life.

Because Yuxian was the protagonist of this pick-up, he had to familiarize himself with the venue and arrived at the Yanshan camp a day earlier than the emperor. At this time, he was leading the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Beijing camp to pick him up at the gate of the camp.

The emperor laughed loudly, stepped forward and patted Yuxian on the shoulder and said, "Prime Minister, tomorrow will depend on you!"

Yuxian respectfully said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" He didn't see Concubine Ju and the little prince from the accompanying personnel, and felt strange for a while, but didn't think much about it, he just thought they were attached to the rear of the imperial vehicle.

It was dusk at this time, and the aroma of food and delicacies came from the camp.Although the emperor is a vegetarian, since there are so many dignitaries camping here, it is natural to treat them well.

All the officials sat together in the car for half a day, all of them were a little tired, smelling the fragrance, they suddenly felt their index fingers twitching, and they all wished to go to the tent to rest immediately.

At this time, Zhang Shaomin, who was in charge of the camp here, hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, there are visitors from outside the camp!"

"Is there a guest?" The emperor was surprised, "Why do my guests live here, and there will be visitors? Who are they?"

Zhang Shaomin raised his eyes and glanced at Yuxian, Yuxian was baffled by him.

Zhang Shaomin said: "Your Majesty, the person here is a disciple of Prime Minister Yuxian, who is also a ninth-rank official from other places. He said that he found auspiciousness and specially came to present it to the Emperor!"

The emperor also looked at Yuxian, seeing that he was still puzzled, and he was also surprised, so he said: "Bring it here—"

Everyone had no choice but to stand at the gate of the camp and wait for the distinguished guests to arrive.

When the helmsmen came forward, there were a few laughs from the crowd.

Among them, Princess Tianxiang's silver bell-like laughter is particularly noticeable.

Seeing the appearance and attire of the visitors, the emperor was amused for a moment: "Who are these people?"

"These people—these are indeed the disciples of the minister—" Seeing his subordinates, Yuxian felt a little embarrassed.

The emperor held back his smile, looked at the people's red, orange, yellow and green clothes and colorful hair, and Nian Xu thought about his words and said, "The clothes of your disciples are really bright."

Feeling ashamed, I bowed my head and said nothing.

The emperor gave Yuxian a lot of face, and politely said to the rudder masters: "Why do you see me?"

Wearing a Confucian shirt, Jiang Zuo's helmsman stepped forward and said: "I saw a white tiger on the way home, and I specially captured it and dedicated it to your majesty. 'The king's virtue reaches the level of birds and beasts, and the white tiger moves'. In Xianliang Dynasty, there was such an auspicious omen, it can be seen that His Majesty's virtues are manifested, and the world is moved! This time, the priest will definitely welcome the gods, and I wish Your Majesty the dragon, spirit and tiger for thousands of years!"

"Oh?" The emperor cheered up, "Take it up and have a look!"

Immediately, someone brought the iron cage over, and inside it was a white tiger with eye-catching eyes.

Although the tiger was covered with blood, it was obviously injured, but it was a live tiger after all, and the tiger's might was still there. After the cage fell to the ground, it roared loudly, and the sound shook the mountains and forests, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.Some of the timid ones already had weak legs and collapsed to the ground.

Although Tianxiang didn't have weak legs, her eyes were straight when she stared at the white tiger.Suddenly her eyes went dark, she thought she had fainted, but when she woke up, she saw Feng Suzhen standing in front of her calmly.

The emperor was not afraid at all, and said with great joy: "Auspiciousness, it really is auspiciousness from heaven!" Yuxian then turned his shame into joy, and flattered: "The white tiger came to the world, and the auspiciousness came from heaven, your majesty's blessing!"

The emperor laughed loudly, and said to Jiang Zuo, "You speak in a clear and orderly manner, have you ever studied?"

Jiang Zuo's rudder master said politely: "I passed the examination of scholar when I was young."

The emperor praised: "Well, well, you have made great contributions to offering auspiciousness, so you stay here, and I will give you a banquet!" After finishing speaking, he took everyone into the camp.

Seeing that the Lifus had moved the white tiger away, Tianxiang was finally relieved, this white tiger was more ferocious than anything she had ever seen in her two lifetimes.Seeing that Feng Suzhen was still in a daze, she hurriedly pushed her: "What are you thinking? I remember you were as timid as a mouse in the fake palace last time, why are you so brave now?"

Feng Suzhen smiled: "I was thinking, could it be that the world is going to change drastically, why are there so many white tigers?"

"Huh?" Tianxiang was puzzled.

"Didn't there be a white tiger in Yanshan not long ago?"

Tianxiang thought about it for a while: "Yes."

"If white tigers can be seen everywhere, how can it be called auspicious?" Feng Suzhen shook her head, "This one is probably the same as the one that appeared a while ago."

Feng Suzhen continued: "I heard that the twelve rudder masters of the Yuxian Gang all went south, but they caught the tiger in the north. It's really interesting—" She frowned suspiciously, "I just don't know, it's The white tiger followed them to the south through the city and alleys before they caught it, or they made a special trip back to the northern suburbs to catch the white tiger."

Feng Suzhen talked for a long time on her own, and found no one around her to talk to, so she couldn't help looking at Tianxiang, but found no one around her, her eyes moved, only to see Tianxiang running straight towards the cooking stove, she stopped her voice immediately ——Is Tianxiang hungry?

While pretending to be novelty looking around, Tianxiang complained in her heart: This Shaomin is so incomprehensible in doing things, if you offer auspiciousness or Feng Suzhen, you won't be suspicious!After thinking about it, she understood Zhang Shaomin again. Thinking about it, he felt that Feng Suzhen couldn't hide this matter, and sooner or later he would have to talk about it in detail, so he didn't deal with it in detail.

Everyone entered the camp to settle down temporarily.

Yuxian hurriedly came to look for the rudder masters: "Why are you here?"

Everyone said: "I'm here to offer auspiciousness to the leader of the gang."

Yuxian asked, "Where are those people under your command?"

Jiang Zuo rudder said: "They are all left outside the camp, I don't know how to arrange it yet, please show me the help."

At this time, a familiar female voice suddenly came from outside: "Is Prime Minister Yuxian inside?"

When Yuxian saw people looking for him, he had no time to say anything, so he said: "Be careful." Then he said to Jin Kanglong who came with him: "Today, His Majesty is happy, and maybe he will invite them to come to Xiantai. Go and find Zhang Shaomin, ask him to arrange lodging for the brothers at the helm, and you will go with him, don't go to pick up Xiantai tomorrow, but stay at the foot of the mountain to take care of it."

"This..." Jin Kanglong was reluctant, but had no choice but to accept the order.

The rudder leaders were also a little displeased, they really thought that the people who shared the rudder like me were three-year-olds and needed someone to watch over them.A little narrow-minded, thinking of Jin Kanglong as a guard with a sword in front of the imperial court, and thinking of the relationship between the leader and the five guardians.

Yuxian turned around and left the tent, and said with a strange smile: "What is the princess doing with me?"

Tian Xiang asked angrily, "Where is that man?"

"The princess is really a filial daughter-in-law," Yuxian said with a smile, pointing to a man dressed as a Taoist behind him, "Your husband is here!"

Tianxiang was startled, and looked carefully at the fat Taoist, but what she saw was a completely unfamiliar face.

The Taoist yelled "ahhh" twice to her, with tears streaming down his eyes.

Tianxiang saw his eyes clearly, confirmed his identity, and was furious for a moment: "What did you do to him?"

"Princess, don't worry, this is my amulet. I will naturally carry it with me. I just put on makeup for him and temporarily numb his throat," Yuxian said with a smile. Back to you."

Tianxiang clenched her fists angrily, suppressed her anger with great difficulty, and said softly to Feng Shaoqing: "Don't worry, you will be fine."

Feng Shaoqing said "ahhh" twice, wiped away tears, and nodded towards Tianxiang.

Seeing this, Yuxian said strange words again: "Hey, you two can talk like this, you really have a spiritual connection. Fat Taoist, your majesty will give you a banquet later, we are in the same tent, do you think Don't want to see your daughter?"

Feng Shaoqing became excited again.

Tianxiang said angrily: "I want to be immortal!"

Yuxian smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'll pretend to be 'dumb' for a while."

Tianxiang stared at him for a while, then said: "Let's go to the big tent together."

The sky turned dark in an instant, and in the evening, each tent gave a banquet. Because all the rudder masters made auspicious contributions, they were specially rewarded to eat with the emperor in the same tent.

Feng Suzhen felt that the meal was weird, and it was nothing more than a bunch of gangsters with colorful hair and strange clothes. Behind Yuxian stood a fat Taoist priest who couldn't speak and was shaking all over, pouring wine for himself. The little eunuch spilled his cup twice and still lowered his head desperately, Tian Xiang next to him looked even more erratic, different from usual.

Only the crown prince was still the same as before, pulling Feng Suzhen to chat about the establishment of Xiantai. He felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that Mr. Song has been unwell for the past few days and has returned to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion to rest. I listened to your words last time and made a new I found something interesting and wanted to show him..."

During the dinner, the emperor chatted with Jiang Zuo's helmsman, and was amazed to learn that although the colorful helmsman looked a little ridiculous, they coincided with the five elements, yin and yang, celestial stems and earthly branches. Sendai.

Yuxian also learned during the banquet that Concubine Ju was sick and stayed in the capital together with the little prince, but did not come with her.He was suspicious, but there was no time to go back to the city to inquire now, so he secretly ordered Jin Kanglong to return to Beijing early tomorrow morning to check, and it would be best to bring the little prince to Xiantai before the ceremony ended.

The next day they had to get up early, and everyone went back to the camp after dinner to rest early.

Jiang Zuo rudder was very happy today, thinking of the emperor's repeated praises to him during the meeting, he only felt that the books he had read in the first half of his life had finally come in handy today.He drank too much wine, staggered and went to the hut to pay his respects.

While he was in the water room, someone whistled in his ear.

He fought and couldn't urinate immediately.

He turned his head and saw that Dongfang Sheng, who was dressed as a guard, was looking at him with a smile.He hastily put the knife back into its sheath, straightened his clothes, and said with an apologetic smile: "Young Lord——"

Dongfang Sheng said: "I have something to ask you to do tomorrow morning." He listened to it, and said so and so, Jiang Zuo's helmsman was startled, and his expression changed a few times.

Jiang Zuo rudder hesitated and said, "What if that person doesn't believe me?"

Dongfang Sheng said: "It's simple, just show this—" He took out the black iron token, Jiang Zuo's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to pick it up.

Dongfang Sheng withdrew his hand: "—You wash your hands first before talking."

On the way back to the tent with Tianxiang, Feng Suzhen passed a group of guards, Feng Suzhen stopped suddenly and looked around.

Tian Xiang wondered, "What's wrong?"

Feng Suzhen said strangely: "I seem to have seen that kid Shan Shiwen - why is he here?"

Tianxiang cleared her throat: "That's right, he should be in Tianjin right now—you must have read it wrong."

Feng Suzhen raised her eyebrows, didn't investigate further, and went back to the tent with Tianxiang.

The princess consort is naturally in the same tent, and Feng Suzhen didn't realize one thing until the moment the curtain was opened——

The two of them had to share the same bed again.

Since she fell ill last time, Nanny Zhuang has always kept in mind the imperial doctor's advice, caring about the son-in-law's "yang deficiency syndrome", and asked her to sleep in separate rooms.

If so, Feng Suzhen has had a lot of sleepless nights since she awakened her feelings. If they share the same bed tonight—how can they sleep!

After entering the tent, Feng Suzhen went to the table without taking off her coat, sat down neatly, turned over the teacup on the table and poured tea for herself.Tianxiang looked around, rubbed her hands, and muttered: "It's a bit cold..."

This time only Tao'er came with the two of them, and immediately said: "Princess, it's colder in the tent than in our mansion, and there are only a few pots of charcoal right now, unlike our mansion where there are earth dragons. The princess is waiting to wash up." After getting into the quilt, it's not so cold!"

"Let's make do for one night." Tianxiang accepted her fate, and sat down beside Feng Suzhen with downcast eyes.

Feng Suzhen awkwardly stuffed a cup of hot tea into her hand to cover, and said to Taoer: "Taoer, take some Tang Pozi to warm up the quilt."

Tao'er responded with all her mouth: "Don't worry, son-in-law, I've already let go!"

Feng Suzhen nodded, got up and went to wash up first.Seeing that Feng Suzhen finished washing, Tianxiang reluctantly took off her coat.

Feng Suzhen arrived at the bedside, and as soon as she picked up the cold quilt, she felt something was wrong: "Tao'er, when did you let Mrs. Tang go in?"

Tao'er didn't think much about it, and while adding water to Tianxiang with the copper pot, she said, "I'll put Tang Pozi in it as soon as I get here!"

"As soon as it arrives..." Feng Suzhen counted Taoer's "as soon as she arrived here" time, with a serious expression——

Miss Taoer, you have been here for nearly two hours!

After a cup of tea, Tianxiang shrank and spit out the last mouthwash containing tooth powder, quickly ran to the bed, and said to Feng Suzhen who was already lying on the bed: "Let me go, let me go Let, let me in."

Although she said so in her mouth, she didn't wait for Feng Suzhen to get up, she jumped onto the bed, pressed her hands and feet over Feng Suzhen's body, and slipped into her bed.

Feeling warm all over her body, it seemed as if she had gone from cold winter to March in spring in an instant. Tianxiang sighed comfortably and turned around in her warm blanket.After twisting for a while, she suddenly felt something strange, so she revealed her hairy head, staring at Feng Suzhen who was lying on one side with wet eyes, blinking flickeringly.

Feng Suzhen felt the gaze cast by Tianxiang from the side, and she still kept her eyes open, looking up at the sky without curtains, counting the lines on the top of the felt tent.

A white and tender little hand waved restlessly in front of her eyes: "It's useful, what are you looking at?"

Feng Suzhen said lightly, "Aren't you afraid of the cold? Still moving around, take your hands back."

Tianxiang approached her mysteriously: "I found that my quilt is very warm - did you come in and slept just now?" She smiled happily, "It's useful, when did you learn how to warm the quilt? "

"..." Feng Suzhen said seriously: "After winter, doesn't the princess always warm herself up with Mrs. Tang every time she goes to bed?"

Before the words were finished, Taoer rushed in from outside the tent, holding up the round Mrs. Tang: "My son-in-law, I poured out the cold water and refilled the hot water—huh?" She saw the princess and his wife. Already lying on the bed, he was a little flustered for a while: "You guys are sleeping—oh, I'll turn off the lights for you—"

In a panic, Tao'er turned off the lights and went back to her tent.

Feng Suzhen sighed, and didn't care about Tianxiang covering the quilt behind her with a muffled laugh, so she had to lift the quilt, groped to pick up Mrs. Tang from the table, walked around to the end of the bed, and fumbled to push it to Tianxiang's feet.

Unexpectedly, she touched a somewhat cold, soft and slender foot.

Feng Suzhen knew for the first time that a woman's feet are so gentle and delicate in her hands, it can make people feel playful!

The scene was very embarrassing.

When Feng Suzhen withdrew her hand, she felt that the temperature on her face was no lower than that of Mrs. Tang in her hand.She was so ashamed in her heart that she hastily stuffed the things and went back to the head of the bed, hesitating whether to put on the quilt or not, pretending that nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, she finally made up her mind, and as soon as she got into the quilt, she felt that Tianxiang was so close that it seemed to stick to her body.

Feng Suzhen was shocked, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart and said: "Princess, move over."

She heard Tian Xiang almost breathlessly said: "I'm afraid of the cold, so it's warmer to be next to you."

The two of them were too close, every word of Tianxiang spat out to her ears with heat and humidity, making the ears itchy and the scalp numb.Feng Suzhen still forced herself to be calm: "Mrs. Tang... is inside, if you are afraid of the cold, move inside."

In the darkness, she heard a smile in Tianxiang's voice: "I'm so nervous about my warmth, because I'm afraid that my hands and feet won't survive?"

How can I sleep here? !

Feng Suzhen took a deep breath, twisted and rolled out of the bed and fell directly to the ground with a muffled sound.She got up, felt the darkness, hugged her own clothes and put them on indiscriminately: "I, I suddenly remembered that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials seemed to ask me about my etiquette tomorrow. I will go out and come back in a moment. Princess, go to bed first."

When she stepped out of the felt tent, she heard a bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, as if someone was knocking on the bed.

As night fell, many dignitaries and dignitaries in the camps had already fallen into a deep sleep. At dawn tomorrow, they would participate in this unprecedented ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and receiving immortals.

Feng Suzhen walked in this quiet cold night, her brows were worried.Her heart fluttered, trying to forget the panic just now, but she couldn't help but recall the strange feeling when she was intimate, and couldn't help sighing again and again——

Diet for men and women is really a great desire of human beings.Even though I have made the decision to alienate in my heart, I still can't help it, and I can't help but feel close and loving.

When the patrolling guards of the Beijing camp saw her, they saluted one after another. She politely returned the salute, but she was absent-minded.

She walked alone in the cold night before the winter solstice, unknowingly walked through the tents, and even reached the end of the camp.

This place is not like the bright lights in the center of the camp, there are only dots of torches, and the dark and empty tents can be vaguely seen.

For the important event of sacrificial offerings, it is natural to prepare more materials than needed, otherwise, how can there be a place for those colorful uninvited guests like today?

The howling wind was mixed with familiar voices.She immediately realized who made the voice, and felt a little confused, so she followed the voice.

In the depths of the camp, there are no soldiers patrolling. The place is backed by a mountain pass, and birds and animals cannot cross this natural danger.

Under the light and shadow of several torches, Li Zhaoting was sitting among the withered grass, with the qin that Feng Suzhen was very familiar with resting on his lap.

Feng Suzhen took a few steps closer, stepping on dead grass and branches, making rustling noises.

After the sound of the piano stopped, Li Zhaoting stopped and looked up at her, but he wasn't looking at her.His gaze was fixed and far away, as if he wanted to penetrate Feng Suzhen's appearance and see a distant figure.

Feng Suzhen took a suffocating breath, she quickly adjusted her mood, frowned and said solemnly: "Winter Solstice Festival, you actually came here with your qin on your back? Brother Li, you have to prepare for the ceremony tomorrow morning, and you and your wife have not dealt with your family affairs yet." Well, don’t you want to miss the state affairs because of this now?”

Li Zhaoting stared at her face, shifted his eyes, and said sadly: "Master Feng, don't worry. I know I have too many delusional thoughts, and I am really ashamed. Tomorrow's Winter Solstice Festival, I, as the official of the Ministry of Rituals, please order me to play the piano on the qin platform on the mountain. After the ceremony is over, I will throw the qin into the sacrificial cauldron and burn it, and use the qin to worship the heavens, and I will put an end to my delusional thoughts."

Feng Suzhen was speechless, she lowered her eyebrows, but still couldn't help saying: "I hope Brother Li knows: Qin is nothing more than a thing. Even if you destroy the Qin, it will be in vain if you lose your mind."

"Qin player, love too," Li Zhaoting said slowly, "In the past, Suzhen gave me a qin to comfort me. Now that Yiren has gone, I wanted to think about this qin...but found that it was only fulfilled. My own thoughts... Master Feng, don't worry, I know I was wrong..."

Feng Suzhen felt a lot of emotions in her heart, she didn't know how to express it, so she had to change the subject and said: "After all, tomorrow is the sacrifice of the Tian Family, I hope Brother Li will be more careful, and don't make any mistakes."

Li Zhaoting's brows darkened, and he suddenly said: "Today someone offered a white tiger, and tomorrow there may be an accident on the Xiantai, I hope the son-in-law will be more vigilant."

Feng Suzhen was surprised: "Brother Li, why did you say that?"

Li Zhaoting pointed to the seven constellations of the white tiger in the western sky, and shook his head: "At the time of the winter solstice, the stars should return to their place, but the white tiger is seen in the world... The white tiger star, which belongs to gold, is the king of the west, and it is fierce..." He paused, He laughed at himself, "It's just that I'm not sure. The princess always says I'm a crow's mouth. I hope this time, it's better to be wrong."

Feng Suzhen frowned slightly, said goodbye to Li Zhaoting and hurried away.Before he had gone far, he saw a well-armored Beijing camp guard walking towards him.

The man knelt down a few feet away from her, and saluted her calmly: "I have seen the son-in-law." His voice was muffled and nasal, as if he had a typhoid fever.

Feng Suzhen nodded and walked a few steps, she didn't feel right until she passed him, she turned her head and said, "Why are you patrolling alone?"

The man said in a muffled voice: "I heard the sound of the piano here, so I left the team to check."

Feng Suzhen didn't think much about it: "Then take care of Mr. Li and let him go back to rest earlier."

The man murmured yes.

Feng Suzhen didn't go back the same way, but walked through the narrow place twisting and turning, and when she felt that she was about to return to her tent, she passed a corner.

There were faint voices of men and women whispering.

She quickly found a shelter to hide her figure.

The female voice is very familiar, it is Tianxiang's voice.

"...It's so dangerous, it's really difficult for you..."

"You found all of this...you are really amazing..."

"...play by ear..."

Not long after, the two separated, and one walked out first.

The flame flickered, and there were many black shadows. In the blur, Feng Suzhen could only see the figure of a man.The man was wearing an official hat, tall and tall, and seemed familiar.Just like the admiral of the Nine Gates, Zhang Shaomin.

She took a step back calmly, and waited for the man to leave completely, and when Tian Xiang popped out, she coughed and asked, "Who was the princess talking to just now?"

Tian Xiang was already taken aback by her posture as if descended from the sky, but she still pretended to be stupid: "Ah, who is there? Son-in-law, you read it wrong, right?"

Feng Suzhen nodded: "Maybe I misread it." She asked calmly, "What are you doing out in such a cold day?"

Tianxiang smiled and said: "I'm going out to look at the stars..." She looked up, the sky was covered with light clouds, and the stars and the moon were gloomy.

The fragrance is dumb.

Feng Suzhen looked at her well-dressed appearance and smiled: "Actually, this place is really a place for stargazing."

"Oh?"

She pointed to the lit Jiexiantai on the mountain and explained to Tianxiang: "Didn't you listen to the prince's detailed explanation at night? That platform has a mechanism, and it can be raised by another three feet, and it can be changed into a stargazing platform in the future. Mr. Song also said to do it. Several high-magnification telescopes can bring the stars closer."

"It must be beautiful to watch the stars from such a high place. Let's go up and have a look together later." Tianxiang longed for it for a while.

Feng Suzhen suddenly said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, let's go see it tonight." Without any explanation, she took Tian Xiang's wrist, stepped onto the ladder, and ran up.

As the night drew near, the two of them climbed up the stairs that were littered with torches, but they still had to be careful. Feng Suzhen took Tianxiang by his hand, for fear that she would slip under her feet.

There are guards from the Beijing camp on the Xiantai, but how could they stop her two.The two of them climbed panting for more than half an hour, their hearts beating like drums, and finally they were able to sit side by side in the warm pavilion under Jiexiantai.

I don't know whether it's because of the wind blowing the clouds or because of the different scenery at the height, the light clouds that covered the sky just now dispersed for a moment, making people clearly see the stars and the moon shining together.

It's a pity that just half a month has passed, the moonlight is brighter, and the starlight is far less than the moonlight, so Feng Suzhen had to distinguish carefully, pointing out some recognizable stars to Tianxiang, and telling her related allusions.

The sky was dark and the surroundings were completely silent, Tianxiang could only hear Feng Suzhen's soft whispers beside her.

She never knew that there were so many touching stories hidden in the twinkling stars.I don't know how Feng Suzhen can hide such an interesting soul under her calm and breezy appearance like white water.

She didn't know when it was now, but she felt that time flies, and recalled the hardships of climbing up, she couldn't help being speechless: "Are we going down the mountain later?"

Feng Suzhen smiled and said, "Princess is so energetic? If she goes down, how will she get back up tomorrow?"

Tianxiang is embarrassed.

Feng Suzhen said: "There is a place to rest in this warm pavilion. If the princess is tired, she can take a rest here. I will go down the mountain by myself later, and go get the official uniform and your dress."

Tianxiang looked sideways, didn't you just climb up on a whim of impulse?

Feng Suzhen understood her eyes: "My qinggong is better than yours, one person is faster than two people."

Tianxiang was angrily, and said: "It's not early at this time, all the officials will go up the mountain early tomorrow, how can you make it in time?"

Feng Suzhen smiled: "Don't worry, the night is still long."

Tianxiang looked up and saw that the sky was dark and the stars were twinkling, and her heart moved: "Yes, tomorrow is the winter solstice."

Feng Suzhen nodded and said: "Naturally it is the winter solstice." She pointed to a piece of stars in the distance and said, "'The day is short and the star Pleiade is the middle of winter.' Tomorrow at dusk, princess, you will be able to see the Pleiades appearing in the mid-heaven. She thought of Li Zhaoting's words just now, and said in a low voice, "Coincidentally, it is the fourth night of the White Tiger's Qisu."

However, the white tiger is auspicious, and the star of the white tiger is a great ominous...

"No wonder there is such a long night," Tianxiang sighed, "but tomorrow is the longest and darkest day of the year..." Her plan will be launched tomorrow, once she pulls out her confidant Yuxian If there are no thieves, the situation of the government will become clear.All the tigers and wolves that her father raised painstakingly were transferred and destroyed by her. Even if she was reborn, she still didn't know what choice that domineering emperor would make.

Feng Suzhen's beautiful voice was close at hand: "The winter solstice is indeed the longest day of the year, but the princess should also know that after the winter solstice, there will be more sunshine every day than the previous day. The nights are less dark than the day before - everything is getting better, everything is going to be better."

Tianxiang had to admit that Feng Suzhen was simply too good at talking.

Listening to Feng Suzhen's warm voice, she felt as if her whole body relaxed a bit: "Yeah, everything will be fine...fortunately, you will spend the long night with me tomorrow. Useful, thank you for being with me this time One ride."

Although it may be only this journey, I have reaped the happiness that I never had in the past 20 years.

Maybe it's time to let go.

Feng Suzhen didn't respond, Tianxiang leaned on Feng Suzhen's shoulder and felt warm and soft, and gradually fell asleep.

She didn't hear Feng Suzhen's whispers——

"But, princess, your life journey is not limited to this journey. If I can accompany you for a journey, how long can I accompany you?"

What I saw and heard today was all weird, Feng Suzhen intuitively felt that Tianxiang had something to hide from her.

She didn't understand why Tianxiang would hide it from her.

But she didn't ask, after all, compared with Tianxiang, she was a complete liar.

She is a fake person with a fake name, a fake identity, and even a fake gender.

Perhaps, only that delusion is the most real.

Forget it, forget it, anyway, after tomorrow, I will confess to you.

She turned her head to look at Tianxiang's sleeping state, and carefully relaxed her shoulders, trying to make this uninterrupted moment longer.

On this cold night, the stars are twinkling, and a round of bright moon falls on the shoulders.
