Yijuan cloud

Chapter 270 A moment of excitement

Winter has not yet entered, and the water in northern Xinjiang has already turned into ice.

In the middle of winter, the chill penetrates right into the bones.

In broad daylight, except for the patrolling guards, few people walked around the house.

Therefore, if I want to go out, I only need to avoid the few palace guards guarding me.

When Sudiya came back to visit me again, I changed my clothes with one of her personal maids.

The maid was lying on the bed, guarded by Linghua.

And I followed Sudiya out of the old palace.

It snowed all night last night, but it has cleared up today. The sky is as blue as a piece of jasper. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of white everywhere. The snow is crystal clear and glows with an unreal bright luster.

Ignoring the cold, I exposed my face from the hood and took a deep breath of air. The cool and fresh breath made me shiver, but it also cheered me up.

Sudiya wore a white fox hood and only showed a pair of smiling eyes: "How are you? Are you cold?"

I smiled and said: "It's cold, but I can still bear it. How long has it been since I went out? I finally came out to take a breath!"

"Hahahaha, let's have a horse race! Let's see who gets there first!"

Sudiya laughed, flicked the whip, and galloped forward.

I didn't have time to think too much, so I hurriedly rode after him.

The guards following Sudya also followed immediately.

The boundless grassland covered with snow suddenly sounded like the sound of rumbling horse hooves, like the sound of drums on the battlefield.

The feeling of galloping is almost like flying.

I was excited, and the long-lost joy came to my heart. I felt that the happiness at this moment was so real and rare.

I looked at the sky and the earth in the distance, feeling the cold wind piercing my skin. The people and things in the past flowed through my heart like a quiet river.

My mother, Xing'er, Brother Junlei, Aunt Xue, Lin Se, Wen Jin, Cao Yingshan... and other people and things all passed by slowly.

So many painful, joyful, desperate and shocking things are silent at the bottom of the river.If you don't forget, you won't be disturbed.

I don’t know how long I ran, but I gradually became unbearably cold, and my whole body was frozen. I felt a little regretful that I followed Sudiya and the others on horseback. If I had known better, I would have gone out in a carriage!
But halfway there, it was difficult to get off the tiger, so I could only grit my teeth and follow Sudya forward.

When I rode to Guihua City shivering and saw the scene in front of me, I felt that the cold journey was worth it.

On the vast prairie, a city rises from the ground. It is made of blue bricks and tiles. The palaces and pavilions are like crystal carvings in the snow. The glazed gold and silver palace is even more eye-catching and beautiful.

On Tuesday, it was made of bricks, three feet high, with one north and one south gate.

These towers and buildings that have been thought about countless times in my mind have become reality from the drawings on the drawing paper. They are so majestic and spectacular.

Sudiya and I rode slowly on the streets.

Because it was winter, there were very few people, and there was no lively and prosperous scene as Sudiya once described to me, but I still looked around curiously and happily.

Occasionally, pedestrians passed by and knelt down to Sudiya from a distance, including many foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.

Sudiya said: "Since I built this city, people from all tribes on the grassland have been grateful to me. How could they know that you were the one who really built this city? You tell me, I, Sudiya, am so lucky to have such a good relationship with me. You are such a talented and beautiful friend! What a pity, you are about to go back to the Central Plains. That’s it, that’s all, let’s not mention these today. There is a saying in the Central Plains of yourselves that all the banquets in the world will be over, and it will take a thousand years for them to be closed. It’s a day apart, let’s go have a drink!”

"Every banquet in the world is over, and we have been together for 1000 years, and there must be a day of separation." As soon as Sudiya said these words, I suddenly felt a heroic and free spirit surge in my chest, and the worries and troubles in my heart were swept away. , he doesn’t even care that he will enter the palace soon.I have made up my mind that when I enter the palace in the future, I will not be happy, sad, annoyed or worried.

After going through so many things in the past, narrowly escaping from death, almost living a lifetime, what else is there that can't be overcome?

"The bamboo stick and mango shoes are better than the horse, who is afraid? I can live my whole life in the rain!" I chanted loudly, tightened the reins, and spurred the horse forward, saying:

"Go! Go drink!"

He didn't return until dark that day.

Sudiya personally sent me off again so that I could get away with it when I returned home.

When she arrived at the old palace, it was already dark. Naturally, she couldn't go back, so she stayed.

With Sudya's guards guarding her guest room, the two of us drank freely for half the night.

In my drunken state, I saw Sudiya lying on the soft couch and sleeping soundly. I stumbled over and covered her with a quilt.

I originally planned to go to bed and sleep. I walked past the bookcase with a lamp and saw a pile of rice paper there, with pens and inkstones placed quietly on the table. I was moved and walked over.

I lay down the paper, grind the ink, and pick up the pen. I hold my hand in the air, but I don’t know what to write.

Snow was falling again outside, and the wind rustled the bamboo forest in the yard, which made me feel even more silent in the middle of the night.

The pen fell and the city walls of Xuanhua were outlined, followed by Yansui, Ningxiawei, Xi'an Prefecture...until they arrived at Nanzhao, and a map from Xuanhua to Nanzhao was drawn.

I held up the map, and the thin rice paper reflected the dancing candlelight behind it, and the names of the winding routes seemed to come alive.

I watched with interest, my vision gradually blurred, my head began to feel heavy, and I lowered my head and lay on the desk and fell asleep.

Because I went out with Sudiya, I got cold the next day and had to lie in bed again and spend the day in a daze.

After several days in a row, it was finally easy.

It was afternoon. Linghua peeled a plate of oranges and sat on the bed with me while eating and chatting. Suddenly we heard a loud noise outside.

The two of us stopped and listened attentively, and gradually we heard that those sounds were unusual. They were the sounds of the imperial driver kneeling and calling wherever he passed.

Linghua and I looked at each other, and she hurriedly helped me lie down.

Before I could lower the curtains, I heard a sound in the bead curtain, and footsteps coming towards the inside.

"Your Majesty——" Linghua said nervously.

"Get up."

Liang Xianyi's voice was calm and calm, as if he came here every day, and this was just a visit on one of the days, rather than a sudden visit.

When the light in front of me dimmed, I knew that he was standing next to the bed.

The room suddenly became quiet. After a while, Liang Xianyi said: "You said you were much better a few days ago, why do you look so bad?"

"Your Majesty... Miss, Miss..." Linghua stammered and said in a panic, "Miss... I have had a high fever in the past few days."

Liang Xianyi let out an almost inaudible sigh, and said slowly and very tiredly: "You have worked hard to take care of your master. I am just asking, not blaming you. Step back."
