Chapter 874 Tangquan Palace
As Chu Ruoyan said, although it is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an City, it is already snowing on Lishan Mountain.
The Tangquan Palace surrounded by mountains was carved by a thin layer of falling snow into a crystal clear and more beautiful scenery. Several surrounding peaks were gradually covered with snow, and even the steep and rugged peaks Everything has become warmer, and everything is as blurry as a dream.
However, on Xixiuling, there were colorful flags fluttering and figures swaying, outlining a winding road up the mountain.
That was when the emperor led a team of troops to climb Xixiuling Mountain, but stopped only halfway up the mountain. Because the wind was strong and cold, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Eunuch Yu persuaded him hard. For a long time, Yu Wenyuan just stopped to rest in a pavilion halfway up the mountain. While panting, he smiled and said: "I'm old, I'm old."
"Your Majesty,"
As soon as he finished his words, a somewhat squeamish and resentful voice sounded. It was Jieyu Zhang Yuping who was accompanying him. She was holding on to the pillar of the pavilion with one hand. While panting, he said: "The emperor is walking so fast, he is leaving me alone."
Yu Wenyuan laughed and stretched out his hand After beckoning her, Zhang Yuping immediately stepped forward to hold his hand, sat down next to him, and then said angrily: "In just a few steps, the emperor has thrown me so far behind him." , The emperor still calls himself old? This is not the emperor lying to himself, but the emperor coaxing his concubine!"
Hearing this, Yu Wenyuan burst into laughter.
Seeing him smile, Zhang Yuping fell into his arms. As if he felt a little chill on her body, Yu Wenyuan stretched out his hand and gathered the loose robe around her body, and the two of them were tightly Snuggle together.
However, he didn't say anything to Zhang Yuping. Instead, he turned his head and looked down at the mountain road he came from. Then he looked along the mountain road towards the Tangquan Palace at the foot of the mountain, which was decorated with crystal clear snow. Then he looked up at the surrounding mountains. Overlapping peaks, green mist and clear mist, the majesty and splendor have a fantasy feeling like a fairyland, I can't help but see the God.
Eunuch Jade on the side ordered someone to bring the stove as soon as he sat down. This is a pavilion with ventilation from all sides. In addition, the wind is blowing and the snow is heavy. Except for the top of his head, there is no shelter around him. If he is around Without anything warm, I'm afraid the emperor will catch a cold.
After sending it to the stove, he stepped aside with his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you'd better go back early."
Yu Wenyuan said impatiently: "I'll just Come out for a walk, you've been nagging me all the way."
"I don't dare. It's just that the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no shelter here. It's easy to catch a cold in the wind, in case it snows again when you go down the mountain. Road——"
"I won't leave. I just want to see how the snow is getting heavier."
Yu Wenyuan was in such a good mood that he actually got angry with him. Zhang Yuping glanced back, and Eunuch Yu could only He smiled and bowed again and again. Seeing him like this, Yu Wenyuan laughed again, looked around again, and said: "The scenery here is so beautiful, you can't see it in the palace."
Eunuch Yu thought for a while, and immediately smiled and said : "The scenery here is naturally good, otherwise, the emperor would How come I’ve been here for six days and haven’t given up yet?”
“Six days?”
Hearing this, Yu Wenyuan seemed slightly startled: "Has it been six days since I came to Tangquan Palace?"
Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it? Chang'an sends news every other day, and it's the third time today."
Zhang Yuping rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Although I send I received the message three times. Fortunately, It's nothing big. Yu Mingli, don't disturb His Majesty's interest with trivial matters."
Eunuch Yu glanced at her and said, "Yes"
Although it is "a little." "Little things", Ke Yuwen Yuan's eyes gradually became clearer in the falling snow. He took another look around. The scenery was indeed beautiful and made people want to linger. But for an emperor, lingering for half a day was enough, so he let go. clasped together Yu Ping's hand supported his knees and stood up, saying: "Let's go back to Tangquan Palace first to warm up."
Eunuch Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Yes ! ”
After saying that, he immediately turned around and directed the people staying outside the pavilion. Someone had already rushed ahead to clear the fallen snow on the road. Yu Wenyuan took Zhang Yuping and walked down the mountain along the way he came.
After walking for half a day, we returned to Tangquan Palace.
There are heaters everywhere in the palace here. As soon as he walked in the door, he felt a warm breeze blowing against his face. It seemed that he was back in spring. Yu Wenyuan's mind was sober just now. Being immersed in such warmth again, I became a little dazed again.
Just as he was walking forward slowly, he saw people standing in front of him, saluting him respectfully.
Looking closely, the person at the forefront of the crowd is the Crown Prince Yu Wenxin, and the two slim figures beside him are the Crown Princess Yu Mingyue and the other is the Crown Prince Liang Di Lou Chan Yue.
Yu Wenyuan walked over and asked: "Lou Liangdi is here too?"
Lou Chanyue still kept bending down to salute, as if she didn't dare to say anything, but Yu Wenyuan raised his head and said: "From now on, these days It's snowing on the road It's slippery, so it's hard for my father to return to Chang'an, but soaking in the hot springs all the time is not good for your health, so I asked Chan Yue to prepare some songs and dances to relieve my father's boredom." Yu Wenyuan's face showed a hint of surprise. look.
This surprise is not because he asked people to prepare songs and dances for him, but because he asked people to prepare songs and dances for him. He is not a worldly person, and he even didn’t even want a home. Those who want to travel around and practice spiritual practice Even if he returns to his side, even if he helps him win Chang'an without bloodshed, even if he takes back the land of Longxing, even if he is canonized as a prince, even if he marries a princess, he still has a feeling that he will transform into a princess at any time. The illusion of white clouds floating away.
It seems that it was only at this time that he truly returned to the mortal world.
A joyful smile appeared on Yu Wenyuan's face, and he said: "Okay, okay."
Yu Wenzhen said again: "My son asked people to build a high platform next to the Furong Pond and let people dance here. "Father, you don't need to soak in the hot springs, you can still feel the warmth of the hot springs, which is beneficial to the dragon's body."
Yu Wenyuan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, it's up to you."
So, Yu Wenzhen and Lou Chanyue accompanied him and turned around and walked towards the west hall where Furong Pond was located, but Yu Mingyue's steps were slightly slower. Slowly, looking at Lou Chanyue who was following Yu Wenzhen with a smile on her face, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
After a while, everyone entered the west hall.
This is what he said before. The newly discovered hot spring here at Tangquan Palace was originally an abandoned palace. During the cleaning, extremely clear spring water emerged from the ground. So the Ministry of Industry immediately ordered that the palace A temple was rebuilt on the old site, although it was not It is very luxurious and beautiful, but clean and elegant, and the heat of the spring water is higher than that of several other springs. Even if you are not soaking in the spring, you can feel the warmth just sitting in this palace. It is better than anywhere in the palace. The dry heat of a stove is even more comforting.
Now, Yu Wenzhen had someone build a high platform behind the Furong Pond. The upper and lower floors were decorated with blue, white, and black silk brocades. At a glance, it was clear that it was a heavenly palace and a human world. and visions of the underworld.
As soon as Yu Wenyuan sat on the couch on the other side of the Furong Pond, he heard a melodious flute sound coming from the side halls on both sides.
As the flute sounded, a group of gorgeously dressed dancers stepped onto the high platform to the sound of music. They were all graceful and beautiful, with colorful hair on their temples and jingle rings. In addition, in the hibiscus pool under the high platform, there was a hot spring. The milky white steam emitted continues to rise upwards, shadowy and cloudy, really like a fairy coming to the world. Just after they completely climbed onto the high platform, the bells and drums on both sides of the west hall rang together, and the rumbling music accompanied the graceful figures of the dancers, which immediately attracted Yu Wenyuan.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the slim figure on the high platform intently, forgetting everything for a moment.
Yu Wenzhen glanced at Yu Wenyuan, stood up silently, and said with a smile when passing by Eunuch Yu: "Eunuch, it's rare for my father to be in such a good mood, so don't let anyone disturb him."
Eunuch Yu She glanced at him and said with a smile: "I understand."
Yu Wenzuo Nodding, he quietly exited the Lotus Pond. As soon as he walked out of the West Hall, he saw snow falling in front of him. Although it was not yet evening, the sky was already a little dark due to the heavy clouds, but there were bright lights in front of him. The ministers, their families and guards stood outside the palace, all looking up.
As soon as they saw him coming, everyone who was whispering something fell silent.
Yu Wenzhen walked forward with a smile. Before he even raised his hand, everyone was already bowing to him and saluting: "Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
Only then did Yu Wenzhen raise his hand and said: "You sirs, you don't have to be polite, please get up quickly."
Everyone slowly stood up, and the one at the forefront of the crowd was Shen Shiyan, the servant of the minister. His beard and hair were gray, and he stood outside the palace for half a day. The falling snow on his head and shoulders made him look even more aged. He said respectfully: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will come to see your Majesty."
Yuwen smiled and said: "What do you want, Lord Shen, to see your father?" Is it something urgent? "
Shen Shiyan said: "I have been here to rest in Tangquan Palace for a few days, thanks to your Majesty's grace. Isn't it time to return to Beijing?"
Yu Wenzuo? Said: "But my father is not ready to go back yet."
Shen Shiyan frowned and turned to look at Pei Shi who was standing next to him. Pei Shi immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the country cannot live without a king for a day. Your Majesty -"
His words Before he finished speaking, Yu Wenzhen had already said with a smile: "It is rare for my father to be so elegant, my lords. They are all old friends who have followed him for many years. They also know that he has been working hard and sleeping hard all these years. It is rare for him to relax and rest here, so don’t disturb his leisurely mood at this time. ”
< br>The last two words, as a prince saying this, are already an invisible pressure.
Everyone looked at each other, but they did not dare to say anything after all. They could only retreat and said: "I'll wait, I understand."
Yuwen smiled and said: "My lords, since you have already arrived at Tangquan Palace , why not take this opportunity to rest and take care of yourself? Maybe there will be many things waiting for you to deal with when we return to Chang'an."
