Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

After the token theft happened, Liu Xun never set foot in the Jiaofang Palace, and Xu Pingjun tried to avoid seeing him, so even though they were both in Weiyang Palace, they often didn't see each other for more than a month. One day, Yun Ge went to the palace to meet Xu Pingjun, seeing her bored in the Jiaofang Hall all day, so he offered to go out for a walk.The two sisters walked and chatted, and unknowingly came to the bank of the shower pool. Not long after the lotus had grown leaves, small green discs floated curlingly on the water.Facing the water, sky and blue waves, the two were full of emotions and remained silent.

Suddenly, a flute sound came along with the breeze, Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun followed the music and looked into the distance.Just look at the end of the blue waves, the willow smoke is like mist, and a small boat is slowly swinging out. A woman in red is sitting on the bow, holding a flute and playing. Both Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun's breathing stopped suddenly, and their heartbeats accelerated. The boat was getting closer, and the women on the boat saw Xu Pingjun when they turned their heads, and hurriedly stood up, wanting to salute and say hello, "Empress!" Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun saw clearly that it was Zhang Liangren, they let out a long breath, tears appeared in the corners of their eyes inexplicably.

Xu Pingjun said loudly: "People don't need to salute when they are on the boat." The eunuch who punted the boat pulled the boat to the shore and carefully helped Zhang Liangren get off the boat.Only then did Xu Pingjun notice Zhang Liangren's swollen abdomen.She told herself that she didn't care, but after all, she was not an irrelevant person, and her heart still hurt suddenly. After Zhang Liangren came ashore, he immediately came to salute Xu Pingjun, Xu Pingjun forced a smile and said, "You don't need to salute, you are inconvenient, get some rest!" After speaking, before Zhang Liangren could speak, he dragged Yun Ge away.

Yun Ge remained silent, looked back at Zhang Liangren's bewildered expression, and could only sigh, her sister still didn't grasp the rules of court survival. As Xu Pingjun was walking, he staggered and fell to the ground. Yun Ge hurriedly supported her with his backhand. Xu Pingjun leaned on Yun Ge's arm and bent over to retch. Yun Ge was suspicious and put his hand on her wrist , "Sister, how long has it been since you had your period?" Xu Pingjun straightened up and said in panic: "Impossible, the emperor and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

"The child is more than two months old! Sister, you are such a fool! Back then when Hu'er was conceived, you knew it, but now you still don't believe it." Xu Pingjun's face gradually turned pale, Yun Ge smiled and hugged her, "Sister, this is a good thing, you should be happy." Xu Pingjun remembered the last intercourse with Liu Xun, which was the night she knelt in the Zhaoyang Palace on a snowy night, her body trembling slightly, "Children should be born with the love of their parents, not because of their mutual suspicion And resentment, that is not protected by the gods."

Yun Ge could only comfort her softly, "The one who can protect him is my sister, not a god. As long as my sister loves him in the future, he will be happy." Xu Pingjun's panic gradually disappeared, thinking that this might be her last child in this life, if the gods hadn't favored her, how could they have given her a child?Joy welled up in his heart, and he said with a smile, "Hu'er should also have a younger brother and younger sister to accompany him." Yun Ge nodded with a smile, "Sister has been too distressed recently, and her health is not as good as when she was pregnant with a tiger. Let Meng Jue prescribe some medicines for you later! Sister just ignore those messy things, and rest assured to raise the baby." It's business."

While laughing and talking, the two walked towards the Jiaofang Palace. Day and night alternate, time flows, and before you know it, it is summer. As Yun Ge expected, Huo Guang really planned with all his strength, preparing to gather a large army and march to the northwest to crusade against the Qiang people, and by the way, secretly eliminate the conservative forces in Wusun. , so that the countries in the Western Regions gave up the idea of ​​relying on both sides, and completely surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Liu Xun showed indifference in this matter, and the Confucian scholars in the court and middle school were all tired of war and felt that the current situation was very good, so the court hall was full of anti-war voices.

Although there are many disciples of the Huo family, it is difficult to implement Huo Guang's propositions when he encounters the indifferent emperor and the sharp-tongued Confucian scholars who frequently bring out the principles of people's livelihood and well-being.After all, a war involves a lot, from conscription to food, from weapons to horses, even with Huo Guang's overwhelming power, there are many difficulties. When the main war faction and the main peace faction were at loggerheads, wealthy businessmen who walked the Silk Road jointly signed a letter, stating to the emperor what they had seen and heard on the Silk Road, and discussed the importance of the Western Regions portal to the Central Plains: Towards the gateway to the whole world, if the Western Regions are blocked, the Han Dynasty will be locked in a courtyard, unable to understand the movements of the outside world, unable to communicate with the outside world in terms of culture, medicine and technology, and will only stand still.They also made a generous statement, saying that from Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing to Emperor Wu, and then from Emperor Wu to the present, the changes in the status of merchants in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty are closely related to the national power of the Han Dynasty.During the Wenjing period, the people of the Western Regions feared the Xiongnu and despised the Han people. They gave the best food and guides to the Xiongnu, sold the worst horses and camels to the Han people at high prices, and even robbed the Han people of their goods and slaughtered merchants at will; Wherever they went, they were treated as grandly as princes, and the Huns ran to avoid them. Now, although they are not reduced to the tragic situation of Wenjing, in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, they are just a group of businessmen from a declining empire. There was insolence.In the end, they promised, "I would like to do my best to help the country. Without a strong country, there will be no respect for the people, and without the glory of the people, there will be no prosperity of the country! Caomin and others would like to kowtow with their humble bodies, and wish a generation of Mingjun, a hundred generations of hegemony!"

Liu Xun knew that there was a lot behind this letter, but when he saw the end, he was still terrified and excited, and wanted to draw his sword and howl, pointing at the barbarians. Confucian scholars are still moaning, saying that businessmen value profits. They do this only in the hope that the country will open up a smooth and safe commercial road for them, so that they can make money conveniently. Liu asked Meng Jue, "What does Mr. Meng think?" Meng Jue looked at the Confucian scholars who accused the merchants with a smile and asked, "Are these merchants the subjects of the great man?"

A civil servant said quickly, "Of course it is." "Have they paid taxes on their business income?" "Of course! If they dare not pay..." "Since they are the people of the big man, since they have paid taxes to the country to support the officials and the army, shouldn't they expect their own country to protect them?" Several civil servants stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence, "This... this... needs to be considered in the long run. A war will hurt all people in the world, and the interests of individual businessmen..."

Meng Jue ignored them, and only said loudly to Liu Xun, "'Anyone who offends my mighty man will be punished even though he is thousands of miles away!'" Meng Jue's voice silenced all the discussions, and suddenly, needles could be heard in the hall.In the silence, Meng Jue's voice was like a stone falling to the ground, every word was full of power, "Only such a Han dynasty is worthy of being called a great man!" There was still a sentence in the sharp eyes: Only such a monarch is worthy of being a hegemon host! All the officials in the court hall had different complexions, and there was nervousness in the air. Liu Xun suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, and asked Zhang Anshi with a nonchalant smile, "What does General Zhang think?" But his eyes were fixed on Meng Jue. Zhang Anshi saw a familiar yet unfamiliar light in Liu Xun's eyes.When the first emperor Liu Che ordered Zhang Qian to go to the Western Regions, when he ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to go to the Xiongnu, when he ordered Princess Xijun and Princess Jieyou to marry the Western Regions, there should have been such a light in his eyes. The light is also the light that a generation of kings longed for the prosperity of the country.He bent down respectfully, and replied unhurriedly: "If the emperor wants to be a clear and virtuous king, it is better to be still than to move, not to disturb the people or hurt the wealth; King Wu, Emperor Gaozu, and Emperor Xiaowu are the same generation of kings, so great achievements must be inseparable from gold and iron horses!" Huo Guang immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Since Weiqing and Huo Qubing swept the Xiongnu court, the Huns were divided into southern and northern Huns. The southern and northern Huns were at odds with each other and often fought. If our dynasty can defeat the Qiang people and make Wusun completely surrender, the Xiongnu will be the last in the Western Regions." The power of the Northern Xiongnu will be resolved, and our dynasty and the northern Xiongnu will form a north-south attack on the southern Xiongnu. Perhaps the emperor can use this to force the southern Xiongnu to bow their heads to His Majesty. This is the dream that Emperor Xiaowu never realized in his entire life!" The hall was silent, and everyone waited with bated breath for Liu Xun's decision at this moment.This decision will not only affect the Han Dynasty, but also the Xiongnu, Qiang, the Western Regions, and even the entire world; it will not only affect the contemporary Han people, but also the descendants of the Han people hundreds or thousands of years later. Liu Xun's eyes swept across the faces of His Highness and ministers, and everyone who saw him bowed his head. In an instant, he made up his mind, stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "As General Huo played, gather two hundred thousand Great army, unite with Wusun to attack the Qiang people!" All the officials kowtowed at his feet and chanted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!" Amidst the thunderous voices of the crowd, Liu Xun looked out of the hall, full of pride and ambition! Since the death of Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che, the Han Dynasty has been in the stage of recuperating and recharging its strength. This large-scale battle launched with all the power of the country is the first time in more than ten years.In the court hall, the young and strong men were eager to fight, ready to swear to defeat the barbarians and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. The folks were completely opposite to the situation in the court, fearing and loathing the war, and almost every household was crying.After all, Zhenghu has gone and never returned. Maybe he has turned into the bones of Moshangsen, but he is still the person in the boudoir's dream. Wearing rough clothes, Xu Pingjun and Yun Ge walked between the fields and orchards. Walking through people's homes, you will always see women weeping silently from time to time, there are old women with white hair, and young girls with cardamom.Only the children are still playing happily, shouting "Daddy" or "Big Brother", not knowing that maybe this is the last memory they have of Daddy and Big Brother. Xu Pingjun's heart was as heavy as lead, and the more they traveled, the more silent they became. When they got into the carriage and set off to return to the palace, she asked: "One person's thousand-year achievements may require tens of thousands of dead bones to replace. If we compromise, we may be able to avoid wars." , is it right or wrong for the emperor to do so?" Yun Ge was also unable to answer her question, and after a long silence, he said: "Some things have to be done, as those businessmen said, 'There is no respect for the people without a strong country, and there is no prosperity for a country without the glory of the people', sister, don't you Don't you want to proudly say 'I am a Han Chinese' when you talk about your country? I believe these men are willing to fight for their country. Since it is inevitable, what we have to do is not to ask whether it is right or wrong, but to ask how Only in this way can these men have no worries, and let their sons and younger brothers grow up safely. After many years, even when they can’t remember the faces of their father and elder brother, they can proudly say to others, my father and elder brother sacrificed their lives for the country, To die on the battlefield is a great hero!" Xu Pingjun sighed bitterly: "You speak like a general." Yun Ge smiled and shook Xu Pingjun's arm, "Smile, people's spirits affect each other. When people see a frowning queen, they will definitely be even more worried! There may be people who die in battle, but it is also possible to return home after a good time. Big!" Xu Pingjun squeezed a smile, "Are you satisfied?" Yun Ge said "Yeah", and pushed Xu Pingjun away, "Okay! Alright! You can continue to frown! With your smile, why do literati need jackdaws and cuckoos?" Xu Pingjun, who was full of worries, was provoked by Yun Ge and laughed angrily. As soon as we arrived at the gate of the city, we saw people coming and going, pushing each other, so crowded that the gate of the city couldn't get through. Because Xu Pingjun visited in private, there was no special person to clear the way, and it was difficult for horses and horses to travel, so he had to abandon the car and walk, Yu An and Fuyu guarded Xu Pingjun and Yun Ge one after the other. Yun Ge asked the people at the side what happened.After asking several people in a row, I finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that amidst the war-weary sentiment among the people, there were gradually rumors that the Han Dynasty now had no generals and was not suitable for sending troops to fight at all.In the past, General Wei and General Huo were able to win every battle. After the death of General Huo and General Wei, Emperor Xiaowu poured out the power of the Han Dynasty and dispatched 200,000 troops, resulting in countless casualties. tie.This time, another 200,000 troops were dispatched, but they were fighting against the Qiang people who were much stronger than Dawan. I don't know how many more people would die.The rumors became more and more outrageous, and even the soldiers in the barracks took the birthdays of the generals in the court to find someone to tell their fortunes to see if they were real generals. Facing the tough cavalry of the Qiang people, their anger was already vented before the battle was fought.In order to boost morale, Liu Xun announced his intention to meet the people and soldiers at the gate of the city, and he heard that there would be empresses appearing. Seeing Xu Pingjun's bewildered face, it was clear that she knew nothing about this matter, Yun Ge held Xu Pingjun's hand and squeezed into the crowd waiting for the emperor to arrive. After waiting for a while, Liu Xun in a dragon robe appeared on the tower, accompanied by Huo Chengjun.Looking from bottom to top, Liu Xun is tall and majestic, and Huo Chengjun is luxurious and dignified, just like the gods in the painting. Facing his people, Liu Xun analyzed the importance of this war loudly. At the beginning, everyone could listen attentively, but later they heard Xiqiang, Zhongqiang, Wusun, Qiuci...these names were too far away from their basic necessities of life, and many people had never even heard of Wusun and Qiuci. nation.Gradually, everyone became absent-minded, and instead began to pay attention to those god-like people on the tower. "The Empress is so pretty!" "That's not the empress! That's Huo Jieyu. I've seen her get on and off the carriage at the gate of General Huo's mansion before." "I heard that the Empress Empress came from a humble background, how can she have such a noble aura?" "No wonder the emperor didn't let her come with him." "Of course, do you think everyone can love the world?" ... Yun Ge held Xu Pingjun's hand tightly, and looked at her worriedly. Xu Pingjun forced a smile, indicating that he was fine, but her pale face said the opposite. After Liu Xun finished speaking, he did not receive the expected response. Although the people shouted "Long Live Your Majesty", their voices did not have the strength Liu Xun longed for, and his heart sank.How much hope is there for victory in this war? Seeing Liu Xun's expression, Huo Chengjun said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to say a few words to them?" Liu Xun nodded in surprise. Huo Chengjun took a few steps forward and walked straight to the front. She looked at the dark masses of people under the tower, and said crisply: "For this war, the emperor sleeps restlessly every night and thinks about good strategies every day. All of this is not for himself. , but for the stability of the entire Han Dynasty and the safety of all the people. I am a weak woman who cannot lead the army to go out to share the emperor's worries and labors, and do my best for the common people in the world. What I can do is to reduce the Donate the silver money as military pay, try to make the emperor less worried about the pay, and let the people of the world have less burden." While talking, she put the jade hairpin on her head and the gemstone pendant on her ear. Take them off one by one. The people's attention was attracted by Huo Chengjun's words, and when they saw her weird movements, they all didn't blink their eyes. "All the jewelry in the palace is donated to the military pay. If a gold hairpin can exempt ten families from taxes, then it is more meaningful than wearing it on the bun in the palace." The people looked at Huo Chengjun, who had no embellishments on his black hair, and were moved in their hearts. "Huo Jieyu is a good lady." "yes!" "Your Majesty doesn't even wear jewelry anymore, I'm afraid this battle really has to be fought." "Huo Niangniang is not only born well, but also has a good heart." ... Amidst the low voices of discussion, everyone seemed to be a little less disgusted with war. Seeing everyone's reaction, Liu Xun gave Huo Chengjun an appreciative glance. Huo Chengjun lowered his eyes and smiled, looking very virtuous and virtuous. Xu Pingjun didn't want to watch any more, and pulled Yun Ge to squeeze out of the crowd. Everyone wanted to hug her, but she squeezed out, causing many people to stare at her. A former neighbor of Xu Guanghan's family shouted: "Ms. Xu... Empress Empress!" As if the body-fixing method was applied, the crowded crowd suddenly stopped moving, and the disturbing voices suddenly disappeared, and everyone looked at Xu Pingjun suspiciously. Thinking of the "Xu girl" that he blurted out just now, the neighbor's legs trembled, and he knelt softly on the ground, kowtowing heavily, and pleading guilty: "The empress, the empress!" It was hard for everyone to believe that the woman in the Jingchai cloth dress, with a sad face and a big belly was the queen, but after seeing the man kneeling down, one or two knelt down one after another.Amidst everyone's whispers, with Xu Pingjun and Yun Ge as the center, crowds of people knelt down from the inside to the outside, until finally, only the two of them stood under the entire city tower. Xu Pingjun really wanted to escape, but there was a crowd kneeling in front of him, and there was no way to go; he wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the crowd, which made her stand out instead.She could only stand there blankly, surrounded by black heads, boundless, like a dark sea, about to engulf her.In a trance, she looked up at the tower: Liu Xun stood tall, overlooking everything that happened below the tower from a distance, with a calm face and cold eyes. Xu Pingjun's face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, she ruined his plan!How can such a queen be admired and worshiped by all the people in the world?How to be worthy of the loyalty and protection of Han soldiers? Huo Chengjun laughed in satisfaction, saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "Aren't you going to welcome the empress?" A group of soldiers came parting the crowd. After Yun Ge firmly shook Xu Pingjun's hand, he stepped back, knelt down, and said softly, "Sister, don't be afraid of them, you are them! Who stipulated that the queen should be luxurious and dignified? You just need to be yourself." That's it! I know you're a good queen!" After a while, the soldiers crossed the crowd, stood in front of Xu Pingjun, saluted her, and wanted to escort her away from the crowd and onto the tower. Xu Pingjun turned his head to look at Yunge, Yunge nodded vigorously, Xu Pingjun was hesitant, and ordered all the soldiers to retreat first. All the people secretly looked at her in puzzlement, with envy, ridicule, disbelief, and contempt in their eyes. Xu Pingjun's heart was trembling, what right did she have to make them bow down?She felt guilty and wanted to back away, but saw Yun Ge smiling at her with his head up, with deep trust in his eyes.She took a deep breath, forced a weak smile, and looked around. "Actually, compared to the title 'Queen Empress', I am more used to the titles 'Xu Yatou', 'Wild Girl', and 'Xu Old Man's Daughter'. Every time someone calls me Empress Empress, I can't react for a moment , I don’t know who they are calling. When I see people kneeling on me, I get nervous, so nervous that I don’t even know where to put my hands and feet. Now that you have so many people kneeling on me, I’m not only nervous, but also scared. It's all sweat!" When she faced her constant guilt and timidity, she felt less afraid and less guilty, her smile gradually became natural, and her voice became clearer and clearer. "I very much hope that I can become nobler and be the queen that everyone expects, worthy of your worship. I have been studying very hard, and I have worked hard to make myself worthy of the word "mother Yi Tianxia". However, after I worked hard, I realized that not everything in this world can be obtained as long as I work hard.” The people who bowed their heads and bowed slowly raised their heads one by one, as if they were slowly forgetting the identity of the person in front of them, and began to look at Xu Pingjun without hesitation. Xu Pingjun looked up at Liu Xun, with tears in his eyes, but a faint smile on his lips. "I probably let you down. I'm not the queen you imagined and expected. I can't be noble, and I can't be elegant. No matter how I dress up, I'm still me, a sinner who was born into poverty. An ordinary woman from an official family. Many times, I am very disappointed in myself. I have wished countless times that I could have a more clear mind and a more perfect demeanor. I could be an elegant narcissus or a luxurious peony , instead of ordinary wheat grass in the field, just now, I was once again disappointed in myself, but now, I am very glad that I am wheat grass." She looked at the tens of thousands of people kneeling at her feet, and opened her arms facing them. "Because I have been doing housework and farm work since I was a child, my hands are very rough, with thick knuckles and calluses. I used to be ashamed to show my hands in front of other women, and often hid them in my sleeves. Now, I am ashamed Because I once had such an idea, they should be worthy of my pride. They have raised silkworms, planted land, brewed wine, and weaved cloth. These hands have supported me and my family... I am confused again, yours The hands are the same as mine, I am afraid that many sisters and aunts have more dexterous and capable hands than me! Ordinary hands, what is there to think about? Aren’t hands used for work? I am still very confident in making wine, if anyone of you can beat me, you wouldn’t watch me make all the money by myself, but just stare blankly!” Many people burst out laughing, and the laughter of a few people moved others, and everyone laughed in a low voice, and the original tension, depression, suspicion and speculation were all gone. "I walked around the village this morning and saw many people crying secretly. I am a wife and a mother. If the person who went to war was my husband or my son, I don't think I would shed more tears than theirs. At least, they will hate this war as much as they do. It would be great if there is no war! Why do you want to fight? I know everyone is thinking in their hearts, it’s not that we refuse to defend our country, but it’s not that the Qiang people have not yet come to invade Us?" Everyone was nodding, and the few people who were kneeling next to Xu Pingjun forgot that she was the queen. They wiped their tears as usual and complained, "That's right! I don't know what the emperor thinks, it's okay." If you have to find something to do, you can live a peaceful life, okay?" Xu Pingjun said with tears in his eyes: "I don't understand the conflicts of interests among those countries, and I can't explain it clearly, but I think about it. The Qiang people are like a tiger lying beside you. It is growing up day by day, and it is not attacking now. You, it doesn't mean you are safe, it is just waiting for the most suitable opportunity to kill you with one blow. We have two choices, one is to wait day and night for its attack in fear; the other is to take advantage of it's full growth Big, kill it. Because I am a wife and a mother, I choose the latter approach, I hope my son can grow up safely, and I hope that my husband will not have to face a more ferocious tiger in the future, how about you?" Some people nodded while wiping their tears, some sighed and nodded, and some frowned and didn't speak, but no matter what the reaction was, they all obviously approved of Xu Pingjun's choice. Xu Pingjun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I just want to say a word to the men who are going to fight, don't worry, your wives and children will be handed over to me! I, Xu Pingjun, will never let a single person go hungry or cold in one day. " Everyone immediately whispered to each other, buzzing like countless bees gathered together. Xu Pingjun asked back: "What? You don't believe me?" Everyone unknowingly forgot that Xu Pingjun was the queen, and someone said loudly without hesitation: "When there is a natural disaster, the porridge can only be given for a few days, and the long-term poverty is hard to care for!" Xu Pingjun raised his hand high, raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "Who needs charity from others?" The pungent girl Yun Ge hadn't seen for a long time came back, Yun Ge wanted to laugh, but there were tears in his eyes. Xu Pingjun said crisply: "I am a mother. I would rather eat porridge grown by myself than my son grow up on the meat donated by others! A son will not only grow a head, but also a backbone! As long as your wife has a pair of With such hands, she can support herself and her son. I decree in the name of the queen that all silk and cloth purchases in the palace will be purchased first from families with conscripts at home, and the prices will be all according to the palace price. I will also order people to set up embroidery If the female celebrity is good, you can come to the workshop to be an embroiderer, and you can hand over the officials' court clothes to them to embroider." Xu Pingjun pointed to Yunge, "Do you know who she is? Don't look at her as weak, she is the real embroiderer in Chang'an City. Rich man! If we women really want to make money, we won’t lose to men!” Everyone stared at Yun Ge, and Yun Ge stood up with a smile, "My name is Yun Ge, I'm afraid you don't know my name, but if I say I am 'Mr. .” Mr. Zhu's dish is hard to come by, and everyone in Chang'an City has heard of it. There were bursts of unbelievable exclamations and discussions, which made Yun Ge secretly stare at Xu Pingjun, and then smiled at Xu Pingjun. The crowd said: "I'm nothing. Empress Xu has long been famous for her wealth-seeking, pungent, stingy, and stingy behavior. If you don't believe me, go ask her former neighbors. It's a mosquito's leg." Next, pickle it and prepare it for next year’s use. As long as the world is peaceful and there is oil and water everywhere in Chang’an City, you will definitely not have to worry about leaving your wives and children to her!” Everyone laughed, and Chang'an City, which had been shrouded in gloom, suddenly became relaxed.In the laughter, fear and worry are dissipating, and self-confidence and strength are gathering. In fact, how many men in the world are willing to be mediocre and not willing to gallop and make contributions?If a man's courage is like a sword and a horse, and it means going forward bravely and charging into battle, then the gentleness of a woman is like a home and a lamp, a quiet guardian and a warm waiting.Because of guarding and waiting, the man's horse will be faster and the sword will be sharper.With the heart of a wife and mother, Xu Pingjun promised to guard and wait with all his wives and mothers.So the hearts of these men can rush forward without any worries. Yun Ge was afraid that Xu Pingjun would be tired from standing for too long, so he said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and helped Xu Pingjun walk towards the city, and everyone stood up naturally to make way for them.Many people told Xu Pingjun to take care of his body and take good care of it. Some old women said that they had raised a three-year-old hen at home and brought it to their mother when they came back. The four eyes on the tower have been fixed on them.The hatred and anger of the two eyes, even across the sea of ​​people, is still obvious, but from this moment on, Xu Pingjun is truly fearless; the things hidden in the other two eyes can't be discerned, but she will not bother anymore. Do your best to explore. As it got closer to Weiyang Palace, the voices of the crowd got farther and farther away. There are many flowers blooming on both sides of the road, and several colorful butterflies are flying among the flowers.Both Xu Pingjun and Yun Ge were attracted by their graceful dancing postures and couldn't help but stop and admire them. Yun Ge smiled and thought, when everyone saw the beauty of butterflies, who would have thought that they were once ordinary caterpillars?And who knows the helplessness and pain when they break out of their cocoons and become butterflies? The two watched for a while, then walked forward again, Xu Pingjun said softly, "Thank you." Xu Pingjun's thanks came inexplicably, but Yun Ge understood it very well, and shook his head with a smile, "Sister, I should be thanking myself, not me. This is the first time I've heard what you said. Sister, you don't know what you said How beautiful you were when you were born! The sun is shining brightly on you, and you are like... like wheatgrass, but not young wheatgrass that has just grown, but golden ears of wheat that have been exposed to the sun and rain, think, golden sunshine Under the dazzling golden color, that kind of beauty is definitely not inferior to narcissus and peony!" Xu Pingjun felt embarrassed, and spat with a smile, "Okay! It's not about composing songs and poems, is it endless?" She held Yun Ge's hand and said, "If I didn't know that you would always stand by my side, I might not You don’t have the courage to face up to them and yourself.” Yun Ge tilted her head and smiled coquettishly, "My sister has been with me all the time too! You are not by my side, how can I be by your side?" Xu Pingjun thought about Yun Ge's last sentence, and laughed happily and sadly.yes!You are not by my side, how can I be by your side? Between the cold and majestic palace walls, two women walked hand in hand, their figures under the sun radiating warmth.
