Eastward Flow

Zhong Lishuo never thought she would see the queen again because of this.

She wanted to see the queen.

The moment she promised the queen to march on her own, and the moment she put on the queen in battle, she began to miss her. She had thought that such long and hopeless thoughts would disappear with the fire. But she did not expect that one day she would open her eyes again.

Everything starts all over again.

As far as the queen is concerned, she is already a completely stranger. But for her, the queen was still the only one she treasured in her memory.

Is it joy, fear, or restlessness?

With inexplicable expectations, Zhong Lishuo waited for New Year’s Eve, and the Queen ate a feast of the ministers at Yulongge. At sunset, the young aristocrats and senior officials’ children of Yuanzhou City rode their cars and drove towards the Yulong Pavilion east of the imperial city.

The imperial city that experienced the chaos of Xia Yuan, under the control of the empress, re-glows the glory of a capital of a country. Multicolored lights adorned the hardened palace walls, exuding a soft light on the cold winter night. Zhong Lishuo sat in the carriage heading for Yulong Pavilion, stretched out his car curtain and looked out. At a glance, there were young men and women walking side by side.

In front of them, the carriages lined the gates of Changlong entering the Yulong Pavilion in an orderly manner.

Not far away, fireworks exploded. Zhong Lisu looked up, and the bright light fell on her fair face, reflecting the youthful and beautiful face.

What a lively New Year’s Eve.

She rejoices in the grand scenery, her face is filled with the innocent romance unique to young people, and the youthful vigor cannot be hidden anyway. Looking at the young and energetic faces that appeared on the road, Zhong Lishuo turned his head and looked at Le Zhengyu who was driving beside the car and asked, “Sister, are the officials of the court so young?”

Before tonight, Zhong Lishuo was a child who had never seen a feast. On this journey, Le Zheng saw her looking around, for fear of being curious. And today she is wearing a big red brocade, a jade crown and a high beam, and her white face is more and more cute and handsome. As the elder sister looked at her, she felt a lot of love in her heart. She had been waiting for her sister to ask her questions.

Now she is asking, but it is not a question that she has prepared for a long time to answer.

Le Zhengzheng thought for a moment, fearing that many younger sisters would ask this question along the way, and he replied a little: “His Majesty likes to reuse young and energetic officials. Old ministers, basically very young. “

“Is that the young man and woman who just passed by before are court officials?” This is what Zhong Lishuo really wanted to ask.

“Yes or no.” Le Zhengyu thought, his sister really noticed those young faces. But how can she say that most of these were urged by the family to go out with her Majesty?

Such an insignificant thing, naturally she would not tell her sister. Not to mention the Queen’s personal affairs, she could not do it. So she said: “Tonight is a rare feast. Her Majesty’s feasts are the first grand event since the founding of Daqing. They, like Ah Su, came under Her Majesty’s grace.”

Zhong Lishuo got the answer he wanted, nodded and lowered the curtain, and sat in the carriage again safely. The body swayed with the bumpy carriage, and Zhong Lishuo thought of the young man he had just met, adding a little more emotion to his heart.

The young Qing Dynasty officials regained vitality, everything was flourishing, and the decaying Da Chu became a thing of the past.

The carriage drove past Yulongmen and stopped in front of the pavilion. The guards numbered the adults’ carriages and took them to the place where they were stored. Zhong Lishuo stepped out of the carriage, looked up at the three characters “Dragon and Dragon Pavilion” that followed the dragon and phoenix dance, followed the eldest sister and entered the court.

He will walk to the door, and the noise will burst into his ears. Lanterns are released at night, and the entire Yulong Pavilion is bright as daylight. Zhong Lishuo followed his elder sister, and looked at everything around him with the light from the corner of his eyes.

As soon as they got started, a waiter led them upstairs.

“Master Le Zheng …”

“Master Le Zheng …”

Walking all the way to the third floor, there were many young men and women saluting to Lezheng, and Lezheng all responded hand in hand. The eyes of the young man fell on the servant of the Ministry of Defense, and also on the handsome boy Zhong Lishuo. Young men and women who knew the meaning of the emperor’s feast were curiously looking at this legendary teenager like Zhaodi to see if she was their most powerful competitor.

Such a vague look fell into Zhong Lishuo’s eyes. Although curious, it was not worth the extra attention. What attracted her attention was the one on the first floor, which stood on the huge lotus-leaf stage in the center of Yulong Pavilion.

Yulong Pavilion has always been the place where the royal family of the Great Chu ate a feast. Although Zhong Lishuo was once an emperor, he has only been here once in previous lives. She looked at the table as if surrounded by numerous golden lotuses, shining brightly like a jade-made table, and the long-closed picture flashed past.

That was the year she was princely crowned, and the assassin ate a feast. At the extreme feast, the emperor made her blow a moon.

Looking away from the clouds and fog to see Yueming, it was such a joyous and lingering shakuhachi that the Emperor of the Lengru was so full of joy that he danced a magic rhinoceros. It was at this banquet that she thought that all ordeals before the age of sixteen would be a thing of the past, and her mother would teach herself to be a good emperor.

Now I want to come, I’m afraid this is the only tenderness between her assassins.

Zhong Lishuo settled down, looking down at the bright fish play lotus leaf bench downstairs, all thoughts were hidden.

Tonight, the lanterns are bright and all the golden lotuses around the lotus stage of Yuxi Opera are open. The charcoal fire hidden under the table on each floor began to ignite, and the waiters brought the prepared cakes one after another. Among the many noisy sounds, the musicians hiding behind the lotus leaf platform changed a happy tone.

Zhong Lishuo’s eyes swept through the seats on each floor from the bottom up, and finally fell on the first place on the east side of the same floor with her.

In accordance with the layout of the ceremony department in the palace feast, the third floor is full of ceremony ministers and royal nobles. It is divided into nine districts, and the emperor has the sole honor to the nine. So, her queen will be there tonight.

But there is exactly a blind spot. She couldn’t see the queen, and the queen couldn’t see her. Aware of this, she had a bit of turbulence in her heart.

Xu is too obvious to look around, and after greeting each other around her, Le Zhengyi set her eyes on her.

“What are you looking at? Father and mother are on the side, staying with elders of each family, if you want to find them, we will pass in a while.” Le Zheng looked at the young face of his sister, Whispered.

The area with family officials and young people is also divided. Zhong Lishuo followed the elder sister and was in a different place from his parents. The younger sister never attended such an occasion. Le Zhengyi only thought that she was afraid of giving birth and wanted to find her parents.

Zhong Lishuo shook his head and whispered back: “It’s good to follow my sister. Parents are just afraid to talk to their old friends. I’d better not disturb them.”

With that said, the immature boy looked so cute under the bright lantern. Le Zhengzheng looked at her fair face and couldn’t help but said, “That’s right, Your Majesty isn’t here yet, at least half an hour before we can have a banquet. If you’re hungry, eat some sweet cakes.”

“Um.” The boy nodded cleverly, and his eyes fell on the lotus leaf stand on the first floor.

The ministers attending the banquet arrived one after another, and more and more young men and women appeared in the Yulong Pavilion. During this time, people kept coming to say hello to Le Zhengzheng, and Zhong Lishuo, a junior, had to follow her elder sister to return gifts.

“Master Xu …”

“Master Xu …”

“Master Xu …”

The voices of young men and women range from near to far, and after their elder sister appeared, they successively expressed their respect for one person. Zhong Lishuo couldn’t help but look around and saw the person walking in front of him like the stars and the moon.

It was a man wearing a purple brocade-colored brocade and a high crown. The sword eyebrows were stubborn, the nose was tall, the lips were like blades, and the eyes were cold. This is a man with a handsome appearance, full of righteousness but noble and cold.

Zhong Lishuo recognized him. Many years ago, Zhong Lishuo had heard an interesting story. This man, who looks very upright and modest, is known as the “double flower” with the elegant and gentleman of the soldiers around him.

He is one of the most outstanding young handsome men of the former Chu court. Today’s Hubu servant, the eldest son of Xu Qingyi, left in Daqing,

Xu Renqing.

Born in the Xu family of the great aristocrat in Yuanzhou, Xu Renqing is just like Yuezheng, and has a friendship with his Majesty. At that time, the Emperor Assassin ordered all the children of the dignitaries to go to the Hongwen Museum for further study, which created an unspeakable fate of the three young girls.

Xu Renqing, who followed the Queen’s southward expedition to the North, was as good as Le Zheng’s, and was highly regarded by her Majesty. The Xu family, who belonged to the former Chu aristocracy, also gained a foothold in the Qing Dynasty because of these achievements, and united the old remnants of the former Dynasty to gradually form a new group.

Partisan disputes are unavoidable at any time, especially after the Qing dynasty gradually became peaceful this year. Fortunately, Her Majesty took control of the military power, and with all words, many disputes went to her and disappeared silently.

But even so, those youth friendships have been alienated by the increasing number of upsets. Le Zhengzheng, who was unaccustomed to the Xu family, and his childhood friend Xu Renqing also came to meet each other.

Therefore, when Xu Renqing took the small young people of the Hubu past her, the enthusiastic Lord Le Zheng greeted him with a smile on his face: “Master Xu.”

The cold man stopped and stood next to Le Zhengzheng, watching her resentfully said: “Master Lezheng.” His glance passed Le Zhengzheng, and he finally stopped beside him. On the young man wearing a scarlet brocade. 2k novel reading network
