After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

The dazzling sunlight dissipated the coldness of the northern wilderness late at night, and the dry cold wind became warm.

The two monarchs and ministers who had not returned all night rode horses and leisurely returned to the camp where the clansmen stayed in the morning light.

Judging by their complexions, both of them were as radiant as usual, and it was impossible to tell how long they tossed and tossed in that dim cabin last night.

"Seventh brother! Why did you hide with Taifu Han again yesterday?" King Ning Gu You, who was afraid of the cold since childhood, was wearing a thick fox fur cloak and a windproof warm hat on his head. Surrounded by everyone, they came out of the camp: "Fortunately, I ordered someone to roast the tender lamb I brought from Beijing yesterday. It was cold when Eunuch Yuanbao sent it to you. Hurry up, let's go, elder sister's tent. I'm making milk tea, and I'll be waiting for you."

"Milk tea? When will eldest sister be able to make milk tea?" Gu Xiu got off his horse and put his hips on!The winter sun under the sun was handed over to the accompanying attendants who came up.

"How do I know this? But the elder sister said that the milk tea is mellow and delicious, and it is best to drink it in a cold place like the Northern Wilderness." Gu You recklessly grabbed the sleeves of the monarch and his ministers, all the way towards Princess Qingzhao's camp go.

When the three of them arrived, Princess Qingzhao's camp was already full of people. Yu Cheng Yuheng and other older boys were carrying the breakfast table and futons, Zhuo Xun Yuming and other younger boys The boys followed behind the brothers to help arrange the dishes, and when they saw Gu Xiu and Han Mochu entering the door, they all nodded in salute.

Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou is holding the pearl hairpin on her head to coax the little princess who is half asleep and clamoring for her mother, while Princess Qingzhao Gu Jin is sitting in front of a large iron pot with her sleeves rolled up, holding a delicate handle in her hand. The iron spoon stirred the light brown milk tea in the pot, and the little queen Meng Tong of Baekje changed into a Dazhou woman's costume, and sat obediently beside Gu Jin to help him.The son-in-law Zhuo Yi, who had studied all his life, was so absorbed in heating the fire under the pot of milk tea with a fan that he didn't even notice that his nose was blackened.

As soon as Gu You entered the tent, he threw off the warm hat on his head, crawled beside Xu Jingrou, and stretched out his hand to tease the little princess's chin: "Huh, it's still warmer here, elder sister."

"Look, my lord, Xican has been clamoring for the elder sister, and I've coaxed her for half a day." Xu Jingrou smoothly handed the little girl in her arms to Gu You's arms, and rubbed her sore wrist.

"Let me see, let me see, what's wrong with our little Can'er? Isn't mother cooking delicious food for Can'er?" Gu You hugged the pink little girl and looked at the little girl's face He took a light bite, then grabbed the little guy on his neck and rode: "Let's go! Can'er go ride a big horse!"

The little guy, who was still sobbing, was embraced by someone's hands, and he giggled immediately, calling out in a childish voice, "Uncle, run! Run!"

The two-year-old little baby is still not good at talking, and Gu Xiu and Gu You are pampered by the two elders on a daily basis, so that the little guy can only call Gu You the big uncle and Gu Xiu the little uncle today.

"Chi'er is back, wash your hands together with Taifu Han, and prepare to eat." Gu Jin pointed to the position of the water basin in the tent with his eyes, and said warmly.

"If it's not the case, let's find something to do with me, Eldest Sister, otherwise, I and Taifu Han will not do anything, and this breakfast will be uneasy." Gu Xiu went to the edge of the basin to wipe his hands, and sat down on his knees Beside Gu Jin, he looked at the tea soup that was tumbling in the pot, and then at Gu Jin's gentle smile, and involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth.

Gu Jin frowned and thought for a while, then paused the movements of his hands and said: "Forget it, since Chi'er is so diligent, why don't you go to the camp of the Inner Palace with Taifu Han to bring all the breakfast and snacks, and tell them to do it. Just pack the box according to my order yesterday."

Gu Xiu nodded and turned around together with Han Mochu to leave the camp.

Not far from the camp, the eyes of the monarch and his ministers briefly met, and Han Mochu warmly said: "The milk tea that Her Royal Highness cooked today seems to be a unique food of the Mongolian tribe, right?"

"That's right." Gu Xiu looked at the rising sun in the sky, and said gratifiedly, "Elder Sister is able to cook this milk tea for us today, I think I have forgotten those old things."

"No, Your Majesty is wrong." Han Mochu smiled and pointed out the crux of it: "It's not that Your Highness has forgotten, but that she no longer needs to avoid those old things. Those old things are no longer a grudge in her heart. She can be generous. Fang's made food for her children and relatives that she used there and found delicious. Maybe Her Highness the Princess herself never thought that she would be able to let go of these one day. I know that His Majesty is very happy at the moment, so Your Majesty should drink more milk tea on the dining table later."

Although the breakfast snacks were prepared by the imperial chef of the Inner House, the food list was given by Princess Qingzhao.Everyone likes everything, Gu Xiu, Gu You and the other children liked the white jade hibiscus cake for four servings, and Han Mochu liked the peony cake for two but never wanted to compete with Gu Xiu for a piece. Xu Jingrou's favorite kumquat cake is also available.

The taste of the milk tea is really as mellow and palatable as Gu Jin said, and when it fell into the stomach, the whole body became hot, and the hands and feet warmed up. Gu Xiu and Gu You drank three bowls alone, and there was not even the bottom of the pot.

***

After breakfast, the youngsters headed by Prince Yucheng put on the new tight-sleeve hunting suits, put on longbows, tied quiver bags, and happily got out of the tent after a compliment in front of Princess Qingzhao Prepare to show your talents in the temporarily divided hunting ground in the Northern Wilderness.

The emperor Gu Xiu also changed into a light armor painted in black and gold, with a long bow on his shoulders and a long sword hanging from his waist. The tall horse under him is also majestic. Standing with the handsome and handsome Han Taifu, who would not sincerely praise him? What about "a match made in heaven"?

After changing clothes, Gu Xiu ran up to Ning Wang Gu You who was taking a walk to digest: "Sixth brother, why don't you change clothes?"

"My princess said that riding a horse with a full stomach hurts my stomach. I ate so much for breakfast just now, and now riding a horse is going to be ruined." Ning Wang Gu You, who has always spared his life, yawned and patted Gu Xiu's horse's buttocks. : "I'll go back to the tent to catch up on sleep, you'd better let Taifu Han accompany you to have fun!"

Just as Gu You turned around, he felt a chill on the top of his head, subconsciously raised his head to search, and saw that the warm hat on his head had been taken away by Gu Xiu on horseback, and he held it high in his hand while running to show off to him, Gu You Clutching his cold forehead and stomping his feet on his hips, he cursed: "Wolf bastard! Rou Erxin made it for me! Give it back to me! Give it back to me right away!"

"I'll pay you back if I can catch up." Gu Xiu clamped his horse lightly, and ran towards the hunting ground together with Han Mochu who was beside him, looking back from time to time.

His Royal Highness Ning Wang, who had his warm hat stolen, threw off his cumbersome cloak, climbed on horseback with difficulty and chased him in his direction. Gu Xiu and Han Mochu looked at each other. Taking the warm hat in his hand, he turned his horse's head and galloped in another direction, while Gu Xiu deliberately slowed down and waited for Gu You to catch up.

"Wolf... wolf cub... If you don't pay me back... I told elder sister to go!" His Royal Highness King Ning, who was out of breath after being bumped by the horse, said desperately. Pulling the rein of the horse, panting, he shouted to the emperor Gu Xiu who was not far away.

"What do you want to tell elder sister? Why did I ever take your things?" The emperor Gu Xiu sat firmly on the horseback, spreading his hands towards others like a show of skill.

"Hiss...impossible!" Gu You ran two steps and continued to chase: "Where did you hide my warm hat! Return it to me quickly! Otherwise, I will tell my elder sister not to give it tonight." You eat!"

"If I said I didn't take it, I didn't take it." Gu Xiu, the emperor with excellent riding skills, sat on the horseback and teased the furious King Ning: "If you want to sue me, I will accompany you now."

"Ha! This king knows! You gave it to Taifu Han, didn't you!" His Royal Highness Ning Wang, who was gradually getting used to the bumpy horseback, suddenly realized: "Gu Yunchi, you wolf cub! How dare you make a noise!"

"His Royal Highness Ning Wang is very knowledgeable, and he already knows what it means to make a fuss." Gu Xiu suddenly sped up and quickly left King Ning Gu You far behind.

King Ning Gu You's riding skills did not have a solid foundation when he was enlightened, so that even today he is still loose in the waist and legs, and can't ride a fast horse at all. , thumping the back that was jolted by the horse and grinning his teeth, he muttered: "Really, this wolf cub is still a young brother, and he is not stable at all. He is still the king of a country. Where is such a king of a country?"

His Royal Highness King Ning and his party said that they rode their horses towards the camp.

When they reached the mountain pass, they saw their eldest son, Yuheng, with his fiancée, Yuming and other younger brothers who were under ten years old, practicing shooting with a cage of big gray hares. The wax-headed arrows used by the children were hit several times, and they still escaped happily, which also made the children play very vigorously.

"Heng'er, how many are you, brother Cheng?" Gu You looked at the little people who were having fun, and asked his eldest son.

"Back to Father, Brother Cheng, General Meng, and Yu Qing have all gone hunting in the mountains." Yu Heng stretched out his hand to aim at the little hand of his younger brother Yu Ming, and took the time to reply to Gu You.

"Just a few of them went in? Can someone follow?" His Highness King Ning asked with concern.

"Didn't Father see it? Just now Seventh Uncle and Han Taifu also went in." Yu Heng wiped his younger brother's red hand from bending the bow, put away the bow and arrow and replied to his father: "Father, don't worry. Taifu Han said that Beihuang is a newly opened hunting ground, and there are no beasts that can hurt people."

"That's good, that's good, spring hunting is just a game, why bring those ferocious things over here." Gu You rode on the horse, recalling out of thin air the nightmare of being chased by the golden lion when he was young.

If there was no Gu Xiu at that time, I am afraid that no one else is here now.

If he thinks about it this way, he doesn't seem to be so angry about Gu Xiu just taking his warm hat away.It's just a warm hat, if Gu Xiu wants it, why not give him one?They are brothers, and what he has, his seventh brother should also have talents.

***

In the deep mountains, the young prince Gu Yucheng hunted three wild boars and one badger in just two hours. Although this result is not as good as his father Gu Xiu's record when he was thirteen or fourteen, it is already It is the best record among brothers of the same age.

However, for Yucheng, the child who was born beside Gu Xiu since childhood, his desire to win is always stronger than other teenagers.

Turning around a mountain pass, he pointed to an amber deer with plum blossom spots standing on a rock not far away in surprise and said: "Brother Yurong, what a beautiful deer, let's take him back and raise him in the east. Is the palace okay?"

"Okay, Your Highness, keep your voice low, don't disturb it." Meng Xu, who was following him, skillfully put on the noose for catching prey alive for him, and handed it to him.

Xiao Yucheng took the noose, held his breath and swung it twice in his hands, the noose flew out of his hands and went straight to the antlers.Unexpectedly, at this time, the horse under the two of them suddenly rushed forward and snatched the hoof, which directly caused the noose to fall off, not even touching the deer's fine hair.

"Look, look, you didn't catch it." Xiao Yucheng stabilized the reins, rubbed the manes on the two horses' heads and said, "There is no mare here, why are you pawing?"

"Your Highness, the horse seems to be frightened." The older Meng Xu quickly made a judgment.

"Scared? Why scared? What's here?" Xiao Yucheng shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly. A cool mountain breeze blew past his ears, and the disapproving smile suddenly froze on his face.

As the spirit of all things, man can also sense danger.

Born as human beings, the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages made the two of them subconsciously turn around.

Behind them, there was a huge, snow-white tiger standing there, staring at its dark green pupils.Xiao Yucheng understood the meaning of the word "eyeing like a tiger" in an instant.

The white tiger could tell that it was not of the Central Plains breed, and seemed to be attracted by the prey they dragged behind the horse, and followed them all the way to this mountain pass.

Now, it seemed that the white tiger was no longer satisfied with the prey they captured, but wanted to swallow the two of them as prey.

The original war horse in Zhongyuan has never seen such a big beast since it was born, and the famous Dawan colt under Xiao Yucheng was frightened and couldn't move. on the flesh.

The horse neighed miserably, and desperately broke free from the reins and jumped out. The boy on the horse couldn't help the jolt, and was thrown off directly. Fortunately, Meng Xu who was beside him quickly grabbed the boy's belt , the young man had a fulcrum to draw on, grabbed Meng Xu's shoulder, and stepped onto Meng Xu's horse.

Fortunately, the elder Meng Xu's riding skills were more than a star and a half better than Yu Cheng's. After making sure that Yu Cheng had sat firmly on the horse, he ran forward without any hesitation.

The panicked horses galloped forward, and the white tiger followed closely behind.

The mountains in the Northern Wilderness are rugged and the terrain is complex.Running and running, the horse, in a panic, accidentally stepped on a strange stone, bent its front legs downward, and the horse rolled over, throwing the two teenagers off.

Meng Xu protected the head of the little prince Yucheng at the last moment, and rolled down the hillside a long way before stopping.

When the two stood up supporting each other, the white tiger had already bit off the horse's neck and was devouring the horse meat. Meng Xu covered Xiao Yucheng's eyes to prevent him from seeing this too cruel scene.

He clearly knew that the situation of the two who had lost their mounts was even more dangerous. If they hesitated any longer, it would be tantamount to waiting to die.

Due to the two violent bumps when fleeing for their lives just now, the feather arrows in the quiver of the two of them disappeared, only a long bow and two long swords at their waists remained.

"Your Highness, follow me and light the torch. These animals are afraid of fire." Meng Xu quietly pushed out the long sword at his waist with his thumb, and said in a low voice.

The sound of the long sword leaving its scabbard startled the white tiger, who had keen hearing. The enraged white tiger immediately stopped eating meat, and rushed towards the two of them with its bloody mouth wide open. At another critical moment, Meng Xu swung Yu Yu with his palm. Cheng pushed out, crossed the long sword, and faced the attack of the behemoth alone.

A shocking mist of blood splashed up, Meng Xu's long sword brushed the tiger's shoulder blade, and he was thrown flying.

"Your Highness, run quickly, run along the col!" Meng Xu's shoulder was scratched by the tiger just now, half of his body was bleeding, and his whole face was so pale that there was no blood at all. He struggled to pick up his sword, but couldn't. With a little effort, he could only yell at Yu Cheng who was behind him with all his remaining strength.

"Where to go, let's go together!" Xiao Yucheng held up the torch that was just lit, and stood up in front of Meng Xu.

Just now, he took advantage of the gap between Meng Xu and the tiger, both fell to the ground in the fight, and blew on the fire pocket at his waist as fast as he could, and lit the torch.

The white tiger bared its yellowed and bloody fangs again, crawled on its strong front, and approached the two teenagers little by little, but because it was afraid of the fire, it didn't dare to move forward easily.

Holding the torch in one hand and the long sword in the other, Xiao Yucheng stared intently at the fierce eyes of the white tiger, without any sign of shrinking back: "Beast! If you dare to come here! I will kill you! come on!"

One person and one tiger, just like that, deadlocked, motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, the white tiger's gaze suddenly became docile. It retracted its fangs, lowered the proud head of the king of beasts, and prostrated its entire body in front of the little prince.

It was as if he was saying to the boy holding the torch: From now on, I recognize you as the master.

***

At the same time, beyond the mountains.

Princess Qingzhao and Princess Ning rested together after noon, and brought the little princess Xi Can who had just woken up to join in the fun among these young people, and by the way, waited for the hunting heroes to return with a full load.

The first ones to come out of the mountain were Emperor Gu Xiu and the unrepentant Taifu Han. Behind the two horses, one dragged a long string of prey, including roe, roe and wild deer. The arrow pierced through the throat, and those little guys who hadn't entered the mountain were excited and cheered again and again.

Gu Xiu loosened the rope that tied the prey in his hand, and fastened the warm hat that he had been clutching all the way to Gu You's head again: "Okay, Brother Six, why don't you get all the things I hunted today?"

Gu You straightened the warm hat on his head with his backhand, curled his lips and said, "It's not too bad, I won't complain to you about today's matter."

After a while, two brothers, Yuqing and Zhuo Sheng, who were almost born in the same month, happily came out carrying a pheasant they had hunted from the deep mountains. When they saw their mother and sister, they hurried over to show that they are today. The spoils of war, happily talking about how brave the two of them were just now, and how well they shot.

"Where's your brother Yucheng? Isn't he with you?" Princess Qingzhao asked as she folded her handkerchief to wipe the faces of the two dirty mud monkeys.

"No, brother Yucheng left with General Meng as soon as he entered the mountain. Presumably he was behind us?" Zhuo Sheng closed his eyes and let his mother rub his face with a fragrant soft handkerchief. Forgot to ask Yu Qing who was the same age beside her: "Aniang, Aniang, can you make us chicken soup tonight?"

"Yeah, auntie, I also want to drink chicken soup, and I also want to eat rice with chicken soup." On the other side, Yu Qing nodded repeatedly. The two teenagers had already discussed these two dishes all the way in the mountains.

"Okay, okay, I really can't hold you back." Princess Qingzhao gently scratched the noses of the two teenagers: "It's still early, let's go back when brother Yucheng comes back."

"Okay!" The two teenagers agreed cheerfully, pulled up their younger sister and ran to a few brothers to see the cage of big gray rabbits.

Princess Qingzhao never expected that she would wait for another half an hour.

Seeing that the sunset was westward and there was still no movement at the mountain pass, King Ning Gu You looked into the mountain pass on tiptoe, and said worriedly: "Seventh brother, it's already this time, do you want to send someone into the mountain to look for it?" They? It’s dangerous in this mountain when it’s dark.”

"That's right, it's already this hour, Chi'er should send a team to find them out." Princess Qingzhao's face became serious.

As soon as Gu Jin finished speaking, a horse covered in blood and with a torn neck rushed out of the valley, but it didn't carry his master on its back. The siblings were all too familiar with this scene. .

In the spring hunting in the 16th year of Yongxi, King Ning Gu You was in danger in the mountains, and it was the letter that the horse galloped out to report.

"Seventh brother! That's Cheng'er's horse!" Gu You exclaimed, kicking on the stool and directly onto the horse's back.If nothing else, this is definitely the neatest time he got on the horse.

"Zi Ran, go and mobilize troops." Gu Xiu reacted faster, and when Gu You got on the horse, he had already ridden a certain distance towards the mountain depression.

The accompanying guards also reacted quickly, and the torches like fire dragons were already lit.

Just when everyone was panicking because of the disappearance of the little prince, the figure of the little prince Gu Yucheng slowly appeared from the mountain depression. He was covered in bruises, his hair was disheveled, and he was holding the soft flesh of the white tiger's neck with both hands, like a royal horse. Riding on the back of the white tiger, the white tiger still supported Meng Xu, who was injured and unconscious.

The ferocious beast that shouldn't have appeared here showed unprecedented obedience and submission under the young man's body.

The 15-year-old boy who grew up by the king's side like a tail was so calm and quiet at this moment, without any surprises.

As if destined, he should be the candidate for the next emperor.

***

In the quiet night, the lights in the king's camp had been turned off.

In the darkness, Han Mochu felt in a daze that there was a restless beast moving beside him. He turned around, wrapped the beast in his arms with a quilt, and said with a soft smile, "It's time now, Your Majesty." Why aren't you sleeping?"

"At this hour, I still can't sleep." The big worm in Han Mo's arms moved and got its head out from the quilt covering his head.

"Every time your Majesty can't sleep like this since he was a child, he always has something to say to his ministers." Han Mochu considerately moved the quilt down two inches for the person in his arms, so that the person in his arms could breathe more smoothly: "If it's about today's white tiger , the minister can tell His Majesty that the white tiger was done on purpose."

"I really guessed right." Gu Xiu turned over in Han Mochu's arms, looked up at the dark bed curtain with his arm on his head, "I just don't know why Taifu Han is so good-hearted."

"With a father like His Majesty, Yucheng, a child of the former court, will be compared with His Majesty by those courtiers no matter what he does. Rather than being like this in the future, it is better to gradually infiltrate it now and let them understand that Yucheng is just like Your Majesty." All living beings can be made to submit, and their next-generation king is the same as His Majesty, and they all belong to the destiny."

"Master is a master, and he will always think before me. It seems that in this life, I can't compare to Taifu Han."

Han Mochu kissed Gu Xiu's forehead in the dark: "Your Majesty has poured all his heart and soul into Yu Cheng these years without reservation. I don't want Yu Cheng to resent Your Majesty because of what I say after a hundred years. The child is alone and helpless after a hundred years from the minister and His Majesty, so the minister must do everything he can from now on."

"Zi Ran." Gu Xiu raised his head and wanted to say something, but finally gave up.

This man has been thinking about him all his life since he was young, not for kindness, not for fame, not for being a monarch and minister, but only for him.

The author has something to say:
