Chapter 199 Guarding Happiness
"Hum," Zhuo Ruitong breathed cold air with a toothache. "What can I do if I can't stand it? If I don't fulfill your wish, won't you go back to the palace to accompany me? Oh, why is my life so hard!"
"Oh, you are the master inside and I am the master. The virtuous foreign assistant that no one else can think of is picked up for you for nothing. Are you still suffering?" Huanying smiled and pinched Zhuo Ruitong's arm. Of course, it was gentle, and she was reluctant to be cruel.
"It's almost to the hunter's cabin. Are you still making trouble?" Huo Shan suddenly made a sound.
Huanxuan and Zhuo Ruitong looked back. Huo Shan was turning his head to one side with an extremely embarrassed expression. Huanxuan spit out his tongue at Zhuo Ruitong in embarrassment, and the two quickly separated.
After taking two steps, Huanxuan suddenly woke up and stared at Huo Shan, "Orion Cabin? How do you know about the Orion House near here? Have you ever been to Jiecang Mountain?
"I guessed!" Huo Shan raised his jaw and said innocently, "Look, we are walking towards the col. Isn't there a small roof hidden in the forest in that col? What is the hut that is not a hunter?"
"Oh?" Huanxuan looked at it for a while, "Why can't I see where the roof is?"
Zhuo Ruitong came over and said, "It seems that it's really in that direction!" Come on, don't just look at it. Don't you know if it's there?
"Uh!" Huanxuan stared at Huo Shan again doubtfully. Every time it was like this, the more she wanted to catch clues from Huo Shan, Huo Shan could always inadvertently dispel her suspicions and clouds. But somehow, countless temptations and speculations in the past two years have failed, but she still can't dispel her doubts about Huo Shan.
The three walked slowly to the col. At this time, it was still early, and there were at least two hours before sunset. They were about to find the hunter's hut, so they were not in a hurry.
The mountain road seems to be very close, but in fact, it will take a long detour. After nearly an hour, the three of them went down to the pass. Sure enough, the wooden house they had stayed in when they were young still appeared in front of them at all.
In fact, it hasn't changed at all. After approaching, Huanxuan found that the wooden house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The original window had already been broken, only the window frame hanging obliquely, and the door of the wooden house was not much better. The door panel was crooked, and it took a lot of effort to push it open, and it also made a particularly harsh sound.
Huanxuan stayed at the door in disappointment and looked in. The house was full of huge cobwebs and thick dust that had been deposited for a long time. "Ruitong, I'm afraid we can't spend the night here. How can we live here!"
Zhuo Ruitong sighed deeply behind Huanling, "It's really time. After so many years, it's impossible to want the old things to remain unchanged, but it doesn't matter. If you clean it, you should be able to barely stay overnight. Besides, there is no other place to go nearby. If you want to go down the mountain, you have to wait for tomorrow. "
It took another hour, and the three of them finally cleaned up the wooden house. Zhuo Ruitong was so tired that he was sweating and sat on the wood pile and gasped. "It seems that I should have sent someone to clean this place. Who knows that the morning is wrong?"
"Don't!" Huanying picked up a pot of water from the nearby stream, wringed the wet veil and handed it to Zhuo Ruitong to wipe his face. "You said it's rare to be an ordinary person. Why did you think about the emperor's score as soon as you worked hard?"
Zhuo Ruitong smiled, "Yes, in this mountain, we are ordinary people. We shouldn't shout every day, and the ground doesn't work."
Another handkerchief was twisted, and Huanxuan handed it to Huo Shan again. Huo Shan's white face was white and red because of his work, and he looked more like a girl's house. "Ciao Huo Shan!" Huan lingered, "Don't plant flowers. In the future, stay with me and travel with you. They will treat you as a girl and treat me as a prince, hee hee!"
When Huo Shan heard this, his face turned redder. He gently wiped the sweat off his face with a veil and said, "How can I be qualified to follow my wife, Chang Shi?" The emperor will be unhappy, so don't mess around!"
"I'm so stingy!" Zhuo Ruitong curled the corners of his mouth. To be honest, he really didn't want Huo Shan to follow him all day long, but when Huo Shan said that, he had to look more generous. "Actually, Huo Shan, I have asked you to come to the capital for a long time. The imperial garden in the palace is not enough for you to do? Why do you have to stay in Weijun? If you hadn't asked me to help me recon repair the garden this time, you would probably still not have entered Beijing.
"I'm not used to it!" Huo Shan lowered his eyes and said, "There are many rules in the palace. I'm not good at dealing with people. Maybe I will offend others. It's better to stay in Weijun. General Lu Zisong was awarded the title of Marquis of Changsheng, and the emperor gave him the title of Weijun. Usually, he takes good care of the people in the Wei Palace, so there is no inconvenience in staying in Weijun. Have fun in the capital."
"Alas, you all say that you are not used to the life in the palace, leaving me alone. I have become an authentic lonely person. Can I really only be a lonely person after sitting in the country?" Zhuo Ruitong looked up at the sky, and his face was full of helplessness.
"Isn't Nie Kong still by the emperor's side?" Huanxuan smiled and pulled the veil from Zhuo Ruitong's hand to clean it. "Your Majesty, don't complain every time you see us. There is no banquet in the world that never leaves. What's more, people have their own aspirations. Not everyone can revolve around the emperor all day!"
"I'm not complaining. I miss it. In the past, I always appeared in my dreams. By the way, I told you no. Nie Kong is going to get married. He married Lang Dingyuan's sister who stayed in his hometown. It's probably next month. You are not allowed to leave. You must stay to participate in Nie Kong's wedding."
"Happy event, of course I want to participate, but it's hard to imagine what Lang Dingyuan's sister will look like. Will she be as expressionless and cold as Lang Dingyuan? Ha ha, I hope Nie Kong didn't marry a piece of wood!"
Zhuo Ruitong gave a happy look, "Are you still embarrassed to make fun of Nie Kong? Just because I promised Lang Dingyuan to share the world, I had to seal the southern border to Lang Dingyuan. Nie Kong knew that Lang Dingyuan was very ambitious. This move was purely to use marriage to stabilize Lang Dingyuan, so as to give the court time to gradually seize Lang Dingyuan's strength and real power. Nie Kong was loyal and paid for the stability of the world. It's too much!"
"When Zhuo Luan was the prince, he used a territory map stamped with the prince's seal to hint to Lang Dingyuan that he would like to share the world with Lang Dingyuan. If we don't take this as **, will Lang Dingyuan turn to support us so quickly? At that time, the situation was really forced to be helpless. I also expected that there would be hidden dangers, but..." Huanling explained worriedly.
"I understand! At that time, we had no more choice. We had to take one step at a time. Forget it, not to mention these troubles. At least after the marriage, Lang Dingyuan's sister will stay in the capital with Nie Kong. No matter how far Lang Dingyuan is, he dare not make trouble!" Zhuo Ruitong stood up and said, "Well, it's getting late. I'm going to find some firewood. Let's boil a pot of water to drink. We can also keep warm at night. It's cold in the mountains at night!"
"I'll go with the emperor!" Huo Shan also stood up.
"No, you can stay and help Xuan'er!" Zhuo Ruitong stopped and said, "You two tidied out the straw shop. You can't sit outside the door all night!"
"Nye Zaifu is going to get married. How about you? Do you have to find that Zhuo Yuancan?" While Huanxuan and Huo Shan were tidying up in the house, Huo Shan suddenly opened his mouth and asked gently.
The two of them were on one side, tidying up one side by side. Huo Shan's voice was very soft, which sounded as if he was talking to himself. Therefore, he was stunned and did not answer immediately. Looking back at Huo Shan and seeing that he was constantly cleaning up, he was a little suspicious, "What are you talking about? Are you asking me?"
"The emperor is very good. It's unfair to him that you delay so much!" Huo Shan still said softly.
This time, Huanling heard it clearly and was sure that Huo Shan was talking to himself. "I know, in fact, I just want to give myself a period of time. I'm not ready yet. When I think about going back to the palace and start life in the palace, I... feel terrible. I, I don't know what's going on. In short, I'm really afraid of going back to the palace.
"Is it because you can't forget the past?" Huo Shan stopped the work in his hand and thought for a moment, "If you have been hurt, you don't want to start again. Isn't it because of choked? Although the emperor is very good, he is decisive and resolute. With his care, he will not hurt you any more.
Huanxuan also stopped and looked at Huo Shan seriously, "What, do you really want me to enter the palace early? Then I can't go to Weijun to see you every once in a time!"
Huo Shan was silent. Huanxuan smiled and said, "So it's still as good as it is now. Anyway, there are still three years left for the five-year deadline. Let me summon up my courage?"
"If so, I'm afraid you won't see me!" Huo Shan hesitated and said, "Then please ask the emperor to make me a permanent servant. Maybe, maybe the capital is not as unaccustomed to it as expected..."
"You? Would you like to go back to the palace?" Huanxuan was shocked, "The emperor and I have advised you for so long, but you refused, just in order to let me marry the emperor as soon as possible. Would you rather wrong yourself?"
Huo Shan turned his face away and sighed, "Let's start again. Not everyone can have happiness again after missing it. Cherish it!"
"Not everyone can have happiness after missing it." Huanxuan looked at Huo Shan in a daze, tasted this sentence carefully, and meditated for a long time.
