The Road to Peach Blossoms

Chu Heqing was about the same age as Gu Haiyan, but he met Bei Chenjue a little later than him, but he followed closely behind.That day, he was ordered to come to the palace to meet the empress. The current empress Duanhou Chu Rusu is the younger sister of the Prime Minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, his aunt, because he is a "girl" of the Chu family, and Duanhou trusts him very much. , often summoned him to talk to him about himself, a few days ago he was not in good health, so he was not able to enter the palace for a long time, no, as soon as his health improved, the empress aunt couldn't wait to invite him into the palace.

Before, perhaps because of fate, he had never met that little dumpling; this time, he had to thank Aunt the Queen for the encounter.

The queen has a decree to see her niece, how can Prime Minister Chu not let her go?So, on a sunny noon in the spring of the same season, under the earnest advice of his parents, Chu Heqing took two loyal and obedient followers, and stepped into the territory of the palace without haste.

At the same time, after bidding farewell to the reluctant Seventh Brother, the Ninth Prince stood outside the Zhengyang Hall, and suddenly caught a colorful butterfly flying nimbly out of the corner of his eye. He blinked, two cute little dimples appeared on his rosy cheeks, he waved his arms and legs, bouncing towards Dier's direction.

Flying butterfly, it is so dexterous and light, playing around the world for a while, up and down, and landing on the flowery winter jasmine for a while, it completely aroused the interest of His Royal Highness, but he couldn't catch it at all. When he arrived, he stared angrily at the butterfly resting on the poppy's branches and leaves after taking a short breath, and after calming down slightly, he rushed towards it.

Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince rushed out of the poppies bushes with an indomitable momentum, and fell into the arms of another person like a sucking swallow into a forest; accompanied by two exclamations of "Miss!!", the person staggered flatly, Subconsciously, he hugged Xiaotuanzi who was running towards him.

Chu Heqing's head was a little dizzy, he let go of the hot and fluffy ball in his arms, put his fist on his lower lip and coughed softly, lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Young master, it's better to be careful."

The body and bones of the nine-year-old boy have not yet grown. The Ninth Prince lay in his arms, and when he looked up, he could see the girl's slightly pointed jaw and slightly pale lips. Shi Fendai's introverted personality can't stop the gentleness and beauty of her complexion.

"Miss," he called out, "I invite you to look at something."

"Huh?" Chu Heqing paused, watching him slowly open his clenched fist, a butterfly appeared in his pink and white palm, flapped its wings, and danced around him.

"It's beautiful." The eyelashes trembled slightly, and Chu Heqing admired him sincerely.

"Wait!" The Ninth Prince yelled again when he saw the young lady who had a crush on her lotus steps, he blinked curiously, and asked, "Miss sister, what's your name, and where are you going on this trip?" , why haven't I seen you before?"

"Me?" He smiled and took the child's hand, "Chu Heqing, Auntie Yizhi, I entered the palace just to see her. In the past, I didn't see her very often because of my poor health. What else do you have, young master?" Doubt?"

The Ninth Prince raised his head and tried his best to show off his literary talents: "Is it the Chuheqing where the sky is thousands of miles away and the autumn is endless?"

He didn't mind the lack of "river" in this line, so he just nodded slightly.

"aunt?"

"It's my aunt the queen..."

The little prince was even more reluctant to separate when his little hand was held in the young lady's weak and boneless hands. He thought about it, so he lied: "My name is Bei Chenjue, and I'm going to meet the queen mother too. We are All the way, why not travel together?"

He completely forgot about his father, who was still waiting for him to eat in Zhengyang Palace.

"Well," he replied, "it turns out to be His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Fengxiang Palace.

The queen and the fourth prince were eating, and when she saw the two guests, she calmly pursed her lips and wiped the oil on her lips, then gracefully got up to greet her, and closed her sleeves carefully embroidered with heavy patterns, Then he blocked the golden phoenix flying around his slender waist.

"Qing'er is here?" She smiled slightly, "My aunt was looking forward to the stars and the moon, so I finally brought you here." Because Huang'er was sitting on the right, she patted the red stool on the left to signal He came to sit here, "Is your body feeling refreshed recently?"

The eyes of the fourth prince and Chu Heqing met for a while, and the two of them staggered in unison; the eyes of the fourth prince casually skipped over the cousin, and fell on "her" holding hands with the ninth emperor brother, and an involuntary formation was formed between the brows. Light nicks.

The queen noticed the sight of the emperor's son, and then she noticed this little guy, and she was surprised on her dignified and beautiful face: "Your Highness, why did you come during lunch? If the emperor can't find you at this time, I'm afraid there will be another person in the palace." There will be quite a disturbance; he sees you closely, and the emperor intends to keep you in Fengxiang Palace for one night, but he doesn't agree."

"Qing'er met His Highness Ninth Prince fluttering the butterfly on the road, and they happened to come together." Chu Heqing took Bei Chenjue to his seat, and made a little joke, "Don't aunt welcome the two of us?"

"Welcome, all are welcome." The queen held Chu Heqing's hand intimately, "You are all the babies of your respective parents, and you are also the baby of my palace," she repeated the old story, "Your face looks good, and you are in good shape. Feeling better?"

"Aunt Lao is worried about her. Parents are also very concerned about Qing'er's condition. They are taking various tonics and Ganoderma lucidum. Compared with the past, it is much better."

"Where are the brothers and sisters?"

"Mother is in good health, but she doesn't sleep well."

"Recently, there are a lot of Anshenxiang in this palace, should I send it to my sister-in-law today?"

"Qing'er, on behalf of my mother, thank you for your kindness."

The two chatted for a while.

"Father is really worried." Chu Heqing suddenly asked, "Auntie, what does the Holy One decide to do with Xinglan?"

"Xinglan? It's no wonder that brother is worried. Sister-in-law's health is as bad as yours. Xinglan is the only male." The queen frowned slightly: "The emperor is vague, and I can't meet him often, so I don't dare Presumptuously speculating on the Holy Will.”

Chu Heqing was slightly taken aback: "Isn't Your Majesty staying overnight in your Fengxiang Palace?"

"How can it be..." The queen sighed full of melancholy, "Holy will is unpredictable, who knows what he is thinking in his heart."

In front of the queen, Bei Chenjue looked very cautious. He straightened his small body and wriggled his fingers underneath; seeing his nervousness, Bei Chenjin interrupted their conversation: "Mother, the child is full." , Brother Jiuhuang doesn't want to eat, why don't you let the boy take him out to play?"

"Wait a minute." The queen waved her hand to signal the emperor who had gotten up to sit down, "Qing'er, emperor—you are all here this time, and you must have met several times before, why don't you just say something here? Open, the Chu family of Xiangfu is the mother family of this palace, if it is possible, this palace will definitely hope that it will prosper forever, do you have any intentions for each other..."

"aunt."

"Mother!"

The two reacted in unison and called out at the same time.

The fourth prince's tone was neither sick nor slow, neither hot nor angry, trying to convince people with reason, "Mother, it is too early to talk about this matter now, we are still young, and what will happen in the future is unknown; besides, it seems that Miss Chu There is already a marriage contract."

The queen didn't care about this: "That stupid engagement, I will tell my brother to cancel it; as for the age is still young, the childhood sweetheart should be cultivated from an early age."

Chu Heqing's tone was very calm: "Auntie, Qing'er also thinks it's too early; you also know about Qing'er's body, it's better not to drag the Fourth Highness down."

Although there was an intention to match the two, the two really did not cooperate, and the empress lost her mind, so she waved her hand wearily: "You all go out...Leave me alone."

The three little friends went out holding hands, tall on both sides and short in the middle.

"I'm going back home. We got along very well today." Chu Heqing helped him stroke the hair on his top, and smiled, "Xing Lan also likes you very much. When he was your reading companion, Out of the three sentences, two sentences are never far from you..."

"Miss, are you Chu Xinglan's sister?"

"Ah."

"Then I'd rather you be my companion?"

"You don't want Gu Qi anymore?" Chu Heqing couldn't help but chuckled against his lips, "Besides, I..."

"She's a girl, it's not allowed." The fourth prince interrupted suddenly, trying to maintain a calm face, "If you are not satisfied with Gu Qi, you can..."

"No, no, no..." Bei Chenjue shook his head like a rattle, "Brother Qi is very good, and I like Gu Qi very much, but I just don't know how to express my love for Sister Qing'er..."

"Sister Qing'er~Sister Qing'er~" He let go of Brother Sihuang's palm, grabbed Chu Heqing's sleeve and shook it, coquettishly, "I like you, can you like me too ~"

Chu Heqing squatted down with a smile, and hugged Xiaotuanzi into his arms: "Come to Xiangfu if you have time? What do you like... I will do it for you?"

"Thank you~" He suddenly looked up at him, when a beam of sunlight diffused over, as if infused with starlight for an instant, his dark eyes lit up instantly, reflecting thousands of blurred brilliance.

Chu Heqing's heart seemed to miss a beat.

His soft lips brushed against Chu Heqing's cheeks lightly, just a little bit of water, but the latter's cheeks were stained with a blush.

"...Okay." The latter replied softly, not knowing who he was responding to.
