Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Nanny Yang was buried in such a hasty manner, without any ceremony, and no one saw her off except Qingli and Yunqi. This may be the fate of most people in the palace. They lived their lives in obscurity, and their death was just a straw mat. No one knows about making a pile of loess, and no one cares about it, but, at least, Nanny Yang still has Yun Qi to send her funeral.
Relatives or Yu Bei, others have already sung, what is the point of death, and the body is on the same mountain.
Qingli accompanied Yunqi and stood in front of Nanny Yang's grave for a day. When he left, Yunqi looked at Qingli steadily, "I will become stronger, strong enough to protect the people around me."
Qingli also looked at Yunqi steadfastly, and suddenly smiled again, holding Yunqi's hand, "Have you forgotten, we are friends."
The wind at the end of summer was blowing gently, and the black hair and white clothes were intertwined, as if the fate of the two could never be separated.
Chu Yunqi will never forget that at this time a day ago, Chu Yunxiao walked up to him with a smile, and patted his shoulder affectionately, "My condolences are changing, fourth brother." Then with the warmest smile, he said He uttered the most vicious words, "After all, wanting something that Xiao Xiang couldn't possibly belong to you without the strength is doomed to a tragic end, don't you think so, fourth brother?"
Yun Qi laughed, it's still unknown who will win the game.
This time, he will definitely protect the people he cares about...
……
In the seventh year of Yongding, Chu Yunqi and Yan Qingli met. In the same year, Nanny Yang died of poisoning. Chu Yunqi grew up overnight.
In the ninth year of Yongding, during autumn hunting, the fourth prince Chu Yunqi sacrificed his life to block arrows and rescued the emperor. The dragon's heart was overjoyed, and the fourth prince began to shine.
In the tenth year of Yongding, there was a flood in the south. The emperor searched for a good strategy in the Shang study. Yan Qingli proposed to block the generation, which amazed the four. Since then, the son of Yanxiang has become famous all over the world. He was highly respected among generals, and the emperor also praised him as "good". Since then, the four princes have been supported in the court.
In the 12th year of Yongding, the fourth prince, Chu Yunqi, with the help of Yan Qingli, cultivated the first batch of dead men "Yunli", initially establishing his own power.
……
Yongding was 13 years old, Chu Yunqi was 15 years old, and Yan Qingli was 16 years old.
The summer heat is coming, the summer trees are shaded, the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun.
"Young master, don't read books, let's have a rest." Yucai raised the beaded curtain, took a cup of tea, and approached Autao.
Leaning on the short bed was a young man in white clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, I saw that the man was dressed in white clothes, his face was as clear as jade, his autumn eyes were cold, elegant, peerless, gentle as jade, and handsome as a fairy Well, the truth is that there are bandits who are as sharp as cutting and grinding.Se xi xi xi, he xi xi xi, there are bandits and gentlemen, you must not be scornful in the end.This person is Qingli.
Seeing Yucai brought the tea, she put down the book in her hand, sat up straight, took the tea, and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you sister Yucai, but I will have an autumn test soon, I want to prepare more, then You can get good grades too.”
The young master really looks better the longer he grows, Yucai slandered in her heart, but after so many years, she no longer made a fuss, "Young master, you are joking, your talent is well known in the world, who else can compare with you? In my opinion , Young Master, you can easily get the No. [-] Scholar without studying." Yucai said happily.
Qingli shook her head, wondering where this girl got the confidence, how could she believe that she could win the champion.
Qingli looked out the window, the sun had already set to the west, the sound of cicadas accompanied the wandering clouds, and the heat was still pressing, and he ordered, "Prepare the car, I have to go out."
"Master, where are you going in this hot weather?" Yucai asked looking at the sun outside the window.
"I made an appointment with Yun Qi to go to the western suburbs together." Qing Li said with a smile.
"Hey, over the years, the relationship between you and the fourth prince has become better and better." Yucai smiled with emotion.
Qingli smiled softly, and did not speak, Yunqi, unknowingly, has become like a family.
Holding an umbrella, Qingli walked to the carriage, turned her head and smiled helplessly at Yucai, "Yucai, I'm not a child anymore, you don't need to follow me."
"But, young master, you are so good-looking, you look like you are very expensive, what if you meet a gangster?" Yucai waved her fist, "I can protect young master!"
Qingli was helpless, "No need for Yucai, it's very close, Yunqi is waiting for me there, don't you trust Yunqi's martial arts?" Why does Yucai always feel that she is weak.
Yucai thought about the fighting power of the fourth prince, and felt relieved, "Then young master, be careful on the road."
Qingli got into the carriage. From the outside, the Yan family's carriage looked simple, simple, elegant and generous. When he entered the interior, he realized that there was something strange about it. A small niche was placed with ice cubes in it to cool off the heat. A thick white blanket was laid under the carriage, which was soft and delicate. There was a small tea table in the middle of the carriage. That tea table should be used well. Made of small-leaf red sandalwood, you can even smell the faint sandalwood fragrance from the table.There is an exquisite purple clay pot on the tea table, and a small tea cup next to it. The porcelain color is delicate and the body of the cup is crystal clear.Qingli went in and sat down, then ordered the coachman to go on the road.
In fact, Qingli is not thin and weak, but his body is thin, his appearance is exquisite, his temperament is gentle, his cultivation is like a fairy, and he thinks he is a good son at first sight. This is especially true for Qingli, who has no interest in martial arts, and did not join in when Yunqi was learning martial arts. In addition, Qingli always had a smile in his eyes, and his gestures were full of elegance, so that people were unknowingly attracted by that confident demeanor. Convincing, without making people feel weak.
The carriage was rumbling, and stopped after about half an hour. The coachman, Old Liu, raised the curtain, "Master, we are here."
"Thank you Uncle Liu, you can wait for me here, I'll just walk over." Qingli got out of the car and said to Lao Liu with a smile.
"Okay, young master, I'll wait for you here." Lao Liu replied with a smile.
Qingli walked in along the path alone.
The western suburbs are on the outskirts of the imperial city, and there are many farmers living there. Qingli likes the idyllic scenery, elegant and leisurely.
Flying egrets in the desert paddy fields, yin-yin summer woods and oriole.
Qingli turned around a field ridge, and saw Yunqi facing him not far away. The 15-year-old Yunqi was already a handsome man well-known in the imperial city. Tailored, with eyebrows like ink paintings, eyes like cold stars, wearing a black cloud brocade, with a gold silk red sandalwood belt of the same color tied around the waist, there is no crown before the weak crown, and the long black hair is loosely tied behind the head with stone blue silk. , where the wind blows, the black hair blows, and the whole person is handsome and full of innate nobility, which makes people feel unattainable, as low as dust, and is so cold that people dare not approach.
Qing Li smiled, stepped forward, and shouted, "Yun Qi!"
Chu Yunqi turned around, seeing that it was Qingli, the ice in his eyes suddenly melted away, and he condensed into a faint smile, "Qingli." Only when he saw Qingli, would Chu Yunqi smile, and only , Qingli.
The two walked side by side, talking about recent events from time to time, basically Qingli spoke softly and slowly, Yunqi listened quietly, the two walked together, one black and one white, like an ink painting, The sharp contrast of black and white, but incomparably harmonious, really is the tranquility of time.
"Qiu Wei will be here soon," Yun Qi suddenly stopped and said.
Qingli was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You don't have to worry about me, just do your best and obey the destiny."
Yun Qi paused, looked at Qing Li, "I just want to say, it's just Qiu Wei, don't pay too much attention to it, and you too, there's no need to turn on the lamp to read at night."
It turned out that he was caring about himself, this Yunqi, really, can't express his feelings.
"Yeah, I understand, I won't be tired." Qingli's smile deepened, and her eyes seemed to be filled with sunshine, warm and genial.
The breeze blew, a leaf stopped on Qingli's shoulder, Yunqi raised his hand, and brushed away the dead leaves for Qingli, Qingli turned his head to look, the cherry red lips brushed Yunqi's hand that was about to withdraw, Yunqi suddenly Feeling as if his hand was burned, it was hot, and he quickly withdrew his hand.Qingli was a little strange, "Yunqi, what's the matter?" "No, nothing." Yunqi's face turned red, but Qingli didn't care, thinking it was too hot.
The two continued to have a relationship, and chatted about some court affairs, and the power of the fourth prince seemed to be a little stronger.
……
The sun was setting, and the fiery red sunset was reflected on the water. Where the water and the sky met, it was hard to tell whether it was a red cloud or a burning flame.
"Then I'll go first," Qingli smiled at Yunqi, "See you next time."
Yun Qi watched Qingli get into the carriage, watched the carriage drive away slowly, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, why, just now, he just accidentally wiped Qingli's lips, why did he feel so strange, as if he was burned , The heartbeat also missed a beat.No one saw, Yun Qi's eyes were so gentle that water dripped out, and after the carriage went far away, the ice returned again, as if it had never been broken.
……
back to the house
Chang An Court
As soon as Qingli stepped into the courtyard, Liu Guang greeted him, "Master, come in and sit for a while, I have ordered someone to prepare an ice bowl."
"Thank you, sister Liuguang." After saying that, he walked to the table and sat down. Wutong brought over a jade bowl, young master, "have some ice bowls to cool off the heat", Wutong carefully put down the bowl and said with a smile.
The ice bowl is made of melon, lotus root, almond tofu, raisins, fresh walnuts, Chinese yam, jujube cake and other ingredients, and served after being chilled.
"Thank you, Sister Wutong," Qingli took out the ice bowl, took a spoonful, and immediately felt the heat subside.
"By the way, young master, when you went out just now, the Second Prince sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he would invite you to meet at Xianju tomorrow."
Second prince?Chu Yunxiao?
Qingli doesn't understand, he has obviously made friends with Yunqi, why the second prince has always been so warm to him, it was like this when he was in the academy before, he often showed his kindness to him, it seems, there are still some half-hearted Nowhere to approach yourself, why?Yanxiang is on the side of the emperor. As we all know, the relationship between the emperor and Xiangxiang is very good. Well, the words have also been confessed in a specious manner. This does not mean the Yan family, but just the friendship between the juniors.All officials in the imperial court also understood that Yan Xiang did not intend to take sides in the selection of the crown prince.Qingli thinks that the second prince knows that Yan Xiang has no intention of standing in line, so what is there for him that deserves the second prince's attention?
