Song Emperor Jiangshan

Xiao Shan shook his head and sighed: "There are more important things to do right now, and marriage may be far away."

Zhao Yuan didn't know why, after hearing this sentence, he felt joy in his heart, he welcomed Xiao Shan into the room, sat down, and asked: "What is the important thing?"

Xiao Shan then told about his return to Lin'an to meet Zhao Gou and help deliver the letter. When Zhao Yuan first heard that Xiao Shan left that day, it was not to go back to make an appointment, but to run around for himself. Zhao Gou had already issued an edict, and when he ordered himself to return to the capital, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The boulder that had been in his heart for many days fell to the ground, and he felt a sense of relief.

Xiao Shan has been almost non-stop for the past three days, and he was already very tired after telling Zhao Yuan the matter. Zhao Yuan saw that his face was tired in broad daylight, so he personally ordered someone to tidy up Xiao Shan's residence and make a bed for him. Sleeping and resting, unexpectedly Zhao Yuan just went out and said a few words to the servants in the mansion, and when he turned back, Xiao Shan had already fallen asleep lying on the altar table next to the chair in the guest room.

Zhao Yuan walked in front of Xiao Shan, squatted down slowly, and looked at Xiao Shan's sleeping face. In his sleep, he didn't see the usual flying. I rushed to report the news before I had time to wipe off the dust.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help stretching out his hand gently, wanting to help Xiao Shan wipe off the ashes, halfway through the stretching, Xiao Shan suddenly woke up, Zhao Yuan changed the hand stretched out to wipe the ashes to pat on Xiao Shan's shoulder: "You too Tired, I made the bed for you, go and have a good sleep!"

Xiao Shan rubbed his face with his hands, so that he could wake up quickly, he smiled embarrassedly while rubbing his face: "It's really rude to fall asleep like this. According to me, don't stay Alright, let’s go now, I want to sleep, I’ll sleep when I leave Xiuzhou City tonight!”

Zhao Yuan was slightly taken aback, and then understood Xiao Shan's meaning.

There are many nights and dreams. If Zhao Gou suddenly changes his mind and doesn't want to go back to Beijing by himself, he will inevitably be in a dilemma if he stays in Xiuzhou. It is better to leave now. Even if Zhao Gou changes his mind, he will have nowhere to find himself, so he can only accept the reality.

He promptly packed two changes of clothes, and handed his son Zhao Yu to his mother, Mrs. Zhang, to take care of him. He was alone, and went on the road with Xiao Shan.When Mrs. Zhang learned that Zhao Yuan could return to Beijing, although she agreed, she couldn't be happy. After all, she had to be separated from her parents and children, and if she had a bright future, a mother would not be happy when she was separated from her child.

Zhao Yu was not very happy either, and murmured, "Uncle Xiao will not come here once, and he won't play with me either!"

Xiao Shan had no choice but to promise to play enough with him next time, Zhao Yu became happy and waved goodbye to Zhao Yuan.

Xiao Shan arrived in Xiuzhou in the morning, and had only a simple meal at noon. After noon, it was convenient for Zhao Yuan to leave Xiuzhou together and head for Lin'an.

Sure enough, as Xiao Shan expected, after he left, Zhao Gou regretted it again, thinking that it would be better to let Qin Hui know about Zhao Yuan's return to Beijing, and he should send someone to chase him, hoping to let him wait first For a few days, wait for the official decree before returning to Beijing.On the second day after Xiao Shan and Zhao Yuan left, the eunuch sent by Zhao Gou arrived at Prince Xiu's mansion, and only then did he learn that Zhao Yuan was already on his way and could not catch up.

However, Zhao Yuan and Xiao Shan still don't know about these things, and they don't have to hurry as soon as they leave Xiuzhou Mansion, because Xiao Shan is very tired, and he doesn't walk fast, and he couldn't make it to the nearby town to rest at dusk, so he stayed overnight In an inn next to the official road in the outskirts.

Xiao Shan was really too tired, he was so tired that he didn't even care about taking care of Zhao Yuan, he fell down on the bed as soon as he entered the bedroom, and fell asleep without even groaning.There are so many vacant rooms in the inn, the two could have lived separately, but when Xiao Shan woke up, he found that Zhao Yuan was staying beside him and did not go to the other side. Small dishes, a small bucket of rice, and an empty bowl.

It was only then that Xiao Shan felt his body was sticky and uncomfortable, and his stomach was so empty that he could only scream, the sun had already set outside, and it was already dark.

Xiao Shan scratched his head in embarrassment, his boots were still on his feet, and his body was only covered with the corners of the quilt, obviously Zhao Yuan didn't even move his sleeping position, just pulled the quilt to cover him to keep out the cold.

He sat up from the bed, Zhao Yuan said: "You must be tired after running all day, you didn't even eat food, luckily I asked Xiao Er to get food, otherwise you would be hungry in the middle of the night."

Xiao Shan picked up the rice and picked up two big bowls before remembering to ask Zhao Yuan, "Have you eaten, Your Highness?"

Zhao Yuan nodded: "I've eaten a long time ago. There is hot water in the room. You can take a hot bath and sleep when you are full. I will go out for a walk."

Xiao Shan groaned and picked up two more bowls of rice before he felt half full, but he had already eaten all the food.When he took off his clothes and soaked in the wooden barrel, he felt comfortable all over his body, the water temperature was slightly hot, which relieved his fatigue. He thought to himself, Zhao Yuan is careful, and even prepared the hot water for himself. Thinking about it, since he is so careful , Then why did he refuse to help him take off his boots when he fell on the bed, so that he could see the stains of his boots on the bed in a blink of an eye.

After he took a shower, he became a little depressed. He came out in a hurry this time. He had worn all his clothes before and didn't have time to wash them. He could only pick out the tasteless ones and wear them again. Everything else was okay, but The close-fitting white obscene clothes were a little yellowed by him, and the smell could only be said to be a little light. When he was wondering which one would be a little less dirty, he heard a knock on the door. Xiao Shan hadn't worn it yet. clothes, just stood naked and dragged his shoes to the door, opened a crack, and asked, "Who?"

Zhao Yuan handed in a set of clean clothes from outside the door, and said: "It will take a long time to drive tomorrow, and it may be uncomfortable to wear dirty and smelly clothes. You probably don't have clean clothes to change, so you can wear them first. Yes."

Xiao Shan took the clothes, felt soft to the touch, and found that it was a brand new set of underwear, from socks to underwear, they were all very clean.He put on the clothes nervously, Zhao Yuan was slightly shorter than him, but these clothes were not tight on him, but fit them perfectly.

He didn't know how Zhao Yuan knew that his package was full of dirty clothes that had been worn several times. After he changed them all, he found that it was already late at night, and the second and second child in the inn had already rested, so he had to wash the laundry by himself. The dirty water was moved out and poured out, the wooden barrel was thrown in the backyard of the inn, and returned to the room.

There was no one else in the room, it was still the same as when he left, the light in the next room was still on, it should be that Zhao Yuan lived in it, it seemed that he was still awake.

Xiao Shan thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the door next door, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Yuan sitting at the table, casually flipping through a book.

Seeing Xiao Shan coming, Zhao Yuan raised his head slightly and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Xiao Shan closed the door behind him and said, "Your Highness, I will sleep with you these days!"

Zhao Yuan was a little dazed, there was only one bed in the room, and it was not spacious, it was obviously a bit crowded for two people to sleep.Xiao Shan said: "Although we have already left Xiuzhou, the road is not peaceful. I am afraid that there will be thieves in the middle of the night. It is far away and it is not convenient to take care of anything."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Shan went back to the room, Zhao Yuan thought he was going back to get the pillow, but unexpectedly Xiao Shan only took the money bag and an iron sword with him.

Zhao Yuan was a little surprised, but didn't say anything. He blew out the candles, lay down on the bed, turned sideways, and let out half of the bed, saying: "It's a bit cramped. Next time I stay in the hotel, I'll find a bigger bed. Today Just make it right first."

Xiao Shan put the iron sword on the table, said: "I dare not share the bed with His Highness, I will sleep on the table."

Zhao Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just said "yes".

Xiao Shan used the sword as his pillow, the iron sword was cold, and the spring night was a bit cold, and he had just woken up, so it was not comfortable to sleep on the table, it was difficult for him to fall asleep for a while, and when he heard Zhao Yuan's soft snoring, he simply didn't bother He fell asleep, just resting on his sword in a daze.

After a while, Xiao Shan felt that the air in the room was a bit stuffy, so he got up and pushed the window open, and the moonlight suddenly fell in. When he turned his head, he saw Zhao Yuan was still sleeping on the inside of the bed, and most of the space outside was still vacant.Xiao Shan really wanted to climb up to sleep comfortably, but in the end he just walked to the side of the bed, reached out to pick up Zhao Yuan, put him down on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover him, and sat on the head of the bed, silently. Looking at Zhao Yuan quietly.

The moonlight was like water, and the night was quiet. Zhao Yuan was sleeping quietly on the bed, his chest heaved slightly rhythmically, his eyelashes were very long, and under the moonlight, he could be seen trembling slightly, but his face was different than the last time I saw him. He was going to be even thinner, there was no flesh on his chin, and his lips were a little pale.

Xiao Shan sighed slightly in his heart, he found that he would rather just sit quietly like this, even if he just watched Zhao Yuan do nothing, it would make his heart full and peaceful.

Perhaps this hazy feeling of mine can only be buried deeply in my heart forever.Xiao Shan thought of the river lantern Zhao Yuan set up that he picked up on the Lantern Festival, and the line of small characters on the river lantern was originally his long-cherished wish.

"That's good." Xiao Shan said to himself silently in his heart, "It's good to be able to watch him quietly and closely, even if he can't get half a step closer."

On such a quiet night, the words "rejuvenate the Song Dynasty, make China safe and strong" seem to incorporate more things, not only the family, the country, and the world, not just ambitions, but also the desire to protect This person by his side makes him happy and makes him truly rule the world.

Xiao Shan smiled to himself in his heart: It is estimated that the marriage will not be possible when he goes back this time. Although it will inevitably disappoint his parents, it is much better than sleeping next to someone he doesn't love at all.
