The ice rink is huge, and hundreds of elite are ready to go. They will rush to the flag with the sound of an order. Xiao Zhige, dressed in black, stood in the middle of many soldiers. He specially ordered someone to add a "Ge" flag with black background and gold border to the flag. He said in a loud voice, "all of you, do your best. If anyone can win me, there will be a heavy reward!"

These soldiers are still young, and they have not yet studied the details of officialdom. Now hearing Xiao Zhige say so, all of a sudden they are boiling with blood and rubbing their hands.

But at the end of the other end of the ring, people immediately like an arrow from the string shot. Out, skates crisscross on the ice, as fast as a meteor. The soldiers were ambitious to win Xiao Zhige, but they didn't expect that Xiao Zhige's action was faster than they expected. As soon as the sound rang, he rushed out first.

Before the sight of hundreds of soldiers, a black figure galloped like an eagle and a lone wolf. The hunting wind brought up the corner of his clothes and the tail of his hair, as if he had really returned to his high spirited youth. If there had been no heavy hardships in the past, Xiao Zhige in his youth would have been so reckless.

An Changqing opened her eyes wide. She couldn't help but stand up, holding her hands on the railing, leaning out and staring at the shadow.

Xiao Zhige on the field is still at ease. He takes a look at Lingxiao tower and catches a glimpse of an Changqing. He turned the corner of his mouth, looked back at Shen tuliang and others who were struggling to catch up with him, and said in a loud voice: "the wild goose king is waiting for me, so I won't spend more time with you."

After that, he moved faster than before and rushed towards the waving "Ge" flag.

Shen tuliang, who was chasing after him, was stunned, and his foot movements all stopped. When he reacted, he saw that Xiao Zhige had left them a hundred paces away, and the distance was still widening.

Shen tuliang was so awe struck that he immediately concentrated on catching up

Xiao Zhige won the first place unexpectedly. He was holding the "Ge" flag with a black background and gold border in his hand. He looked at the soldiers who were catching up with him with his back hand. His tone was quite arrogant: "you've missed me too much. You need to practice hard."

However, all the officers and soldiers on the scene were convinced, and they were even more ashamed when hearing the speech, but their blood was boiling in their hearts: "we are willing to follow your Majesty's steps! Your majesty will not be disappointed

Many of them had only heard of the fierce name of the Northern Warlord before, but it was the first time that they had seen his bravery with their own eyes. However, little Bingxi can be so excellent. If he really goes to the battlefield, I don't know how to shock all sides.

Xiao Zhige was satisfied with the leader, nodded to them, and asked Han Zhangchang to show off his soldiers. He took the flag and went to Lingxiao tower.

On the upper floor of Lingxiao, an Changqing looked at him with bright eyes. He took the lead in bowing his hands and said, "it's amazing to see your majesty today."

"It's just a trick." In front of all the ministers, Xiao Zhige politely made a polite remark, but his mouth turned up a little. When he came to him slowly, he whispered: "is this the only thing the king of geese wants to say to me?"

An Changqing pursed her lips and blushed a little. But when she remembered that he had just been elegant, she could not help but feel excited for him and wanted him to know what he was thinking, so she whispered: "I Your majesty

Xiao Zhige laughed, sat down beside him and said, "then this flag will be given to the king of geese."

The ministers didn't know what they whispered, but when they saw Xiao Zhige happy, they all raised their glasses to congratulate each other. An Changqing took the flag, bent his eyes, and properly rolled it up and gave it to Wang Yu. Seeing this, Xiao Zhige couldn't help thinking. He went to remind him: "I won the flag for the wild goose king, but the reward hasn't been given yet..."

An Changqing's face was hot, and she whispered, "what reward do you want?"

Xiao Zhige only looked at him and said with a smile: "I owe you first, and I'll find you in a few days..."

The man's language is ambiguous and vague. I don't think he has enough water in his stomach. Just willing to gamble and admit defeat, an Changqing is not the kind of person who defaults. He looks up at him and says hello.

***

after enjoying the ice, it's the end of the new year.

During the new year's festival, all the officials went to court to have a rest, but there were many things for the emperor. On New Year's Eve, a palace banquet was held. On the first day of the new year, the temple was sacrificed to heaven and earth Many things need to be prepared in advance.

Because Xiao Zhige didn't have a back palace, the new year's Eve Palace Banquet was given to the eldest princess. And an Changqing followed Xiao Zhige to the side of the courtiers and drank with them.

Neither of them likes to stick to the rules, and they don't like extravagance, so the Palace Banquet is much simpler than in previous years. However, string music is also indispensable. People are happy to drink and watch dance.

An Changqing sat beside Xiao Zhige and arranged the banquet with him.

Now the ministers have more or less understood the new emperor's temperament. They know that although he is occasionally bad tempered, he is not the monarch who punishes ministers at will. Even if you do not make mistakes and do a good job, he is actually approachable.

But even so, few people dare to find Xiao Zhige to drink. But the wild goose king and the emperor side by side, with the emperor to the wild goose King love heavy degree, want to respect the wild goose king is also the same. On the contrary, many people pay homage to an Changqing through new year's greetings.At a palace banquet, an Changqing drank a lot of wine and his face turned red. Although he only sipped a sip every time he toasted, he had no choice but to drink a little. After several drinks, he was already drunk. All rely on the side of Xiao Zhige to support him, just did not stagger.

Xiao Zhige looked at his blush and drunkenness. He was pitiful and lovely. He pursed a smile on his lips and ordered Han Zhang to replace the wine in the wine pot with the wake-up soup.

Later, when someone came to propose a toast, he only drank the wake-up wine soup, so that he just finished the whole palace banquet.

An Changqing's drinking is almost the same as Xiao Zhige's when he went back to Qianzheng palace and complained: "why do they only respect me?"

Xiao Zhige said with a smile: "who told you to talk so well."

"That's not because you have a bad temper?" An Changqing discontented: "they are afraid of you, naturally they will come to me."

Xiao Zhige's chest vibrated with laughter: "they are all looking forward to blowing more pillow air for me."

"I'm not blowing." An Changqing glanced at him, and the light flowed in his eyes.

"Then I'll blow it." Seeing that he had arrived at Qianzheng palace, Xiao Zhige took the man into his arms, touched his earlobe intimately and said, "wild goose king, how much do you want to hurt me..."

An Changqing's ears were hot when he said that. He quickly broke away from his arms, but he couldn't help staring at him: "an Heng and an Zhu are still there. You should be more upright and don't teach them bad."

Finish saying to throw sleeve to be advanced inside hall.

It's new year's Eve tonight. The prince and princess Suizhu also showed up at the Palace Banquet, but they are young. Slightly after showing up, she was carried back by the nurse. When an Changqing and his sister came back, they were sleepy little by little, but they still didn't sleep.

After they are one year old, they are more and more different from ordinary children. They are very precocious and can understand some words now. Today, dad said he would give them lucky money when they came back. Although I don't know what the lucky money is, the brother and sister didn't wait for their father to come back, and they both stubbornly refused to go to bed.

As soon as an Changqing came in, she heard Xiao Anzhu call out "Dad" with milk.

He answered and touched the little faces of his brother and sister: "sleepy?"

Xiao an Heng on the side said, "Oh," and his little arm had already hugged his hand. Xiao Zhige, who came one step later, came forward and picked up one in one hand: "go to bed when you are sleepy."

Xiao Anzhu did not comply, and read in a voice: "pressure pressure money, pressure money!"

She can't tell the lucky money. She only remembers something like this, so she grabs Xiao Zhige's hair and makes a noise.

"It's all ready for you." An Changqing can't laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, she asks her brother and sister to listen to what she says. He told Wang Yu to take the lucky money he had prepared for a long time.

The lucky money is sealed in red, and the names of brother and sister are written in gold. An Changqing put one in each of them. The brother and sister were satisfied this time. They clucked and giggled at the red envelope.

Xiao Zhige took them to the side hall, put them on their little beds, and pressed the red seal under the soft pillow in front of them. Finally, he coaxed the sleepy brothers and sisters to sleep.

When they fell asleep, they left the side hall quietly.

Xiao Zhige took his hand and walked slowly, enjoying the rare quiet moment: "this is the third year we have spent together."

In the 15th year of Qingli period, a stranger became a husband; in the 16th year of Qingli period, a marriage was made. Qingli 17 years, all dust settled, they stand hand in hand at the peak of the dynasty.

After tonight, it is their first year of Changshun.

Turning around, an Changqing had deep feelings in her eyes: "I would like to spend every year with you."

Xiao Zhige kisses his forehead and his voice is low and mellow: "as you wish."

In the main hall of Qianzheng palace, all the people in the palace have been withdrawn, leaving only an Changqing and Xiao Zhige. There is a dragon burning in the hall. The fragrance of ambergris is mixed with warmth, which makes people feel like a kind of warm and soft jade.

An Changqing took off her hair crown, removed her heavy dress and wore only a light shirt. Xiao Zhige gave him a comb to comb his hair and then tied it up. Then he bent down and leaned his head against his shoulder socket and said in a low voice, "here, do you remember that you still owe me a reward?"

"Well?" An Changqing looked up at him.

Xiao Zhige smiles and kisses him gently on the cheek: "now I'll ask for a reward..."

An Changqing didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, but he didn't make a sound when he mentioned that it would not be a serious matter. Sure enough, the man continued: "there is a warm pool in the back hall, which is hot soup made from mountain springs It's a beautiful day tonight. Let's try this warm pool together... "

Glancing at him again, an Changqing couldn't figure out how this man could come up with so many tricks. But today was new year's Eve, and he didn't want to refuse his request, so he gave a low answer and got up to go to the warm pool of the back hall.

The back hall serves as a bath room, in which the Earth Dragon is burning vigorously, and the warm pool is also steamy. It is obvious that the palace people have been ordered and prepared in advance.

The pool was full of water and fog. An Changqing approached and tried the water temperature. He took off his clothes and stepped down the stairs slowly.The warm water overflowed his chest, and he sighed comfortably. Then he heard a lot of movement coming from behind him. His cheeks were hot, but he couldn't help looking back. Xiao Zhige, who was slow, had already come in.

Xiao Zhige touched his eyes, turned his mouth up, and then began to untie his belt

……

On the second day, when Han Zhanglai called up, Xiao Zhige deeply felt that it was not unreasonable for his predecessors to say that "the spring night was bitter and the day was short, and then the king did not reign early".

He looked at the sleepy eyes on his side and thought that he really didn't want to go.

It's a pity that he is not the material to be a fatuous king. He can only summon an Changqing with a firm heart. They change clothes and clothes together, change into Zhuang chongmian's clothes, and go to the abbot to offer sacrifices.

On the first day of the lunar new year, the emperor called on heaven and earth to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple. And the wild goose king stood side by side with him from the beginning to the end, even officiating.

There was such a sense of relief in paying homage to the ministers. If they had just started, they might have privately opposed one or two, but after this period of time, many of them had seen the talent of the wild goose king, and they were also benefited by him. Goodbye to this situation, no one came forward to say that it was unreasonable. At most, it's just a sigh. Your majesty really had a premeditation.

Just at this time, it's too late to say anything else.

The emperor and the wild goose King led the officials to perform all the rituals, and were worshipped by the officials in Chongzheng Hall. From this day on, the historical records were officially changed to the first year of Changshun, and an Changqing was listed with the emperor as a king side by side.

They were almost busy all day. When it was getting dark, they were finally able to rest. After the sacrificial ceremony, the officials were on vacation, and they could steal a few days.

An Changqing leans on the collapse and asks Xiao Zhige to knead his waist. Poor wild goose King toils day and night. He is too young to bear.

Xiao Zhige felt guilty, and his movements became softer and more careful.

And the happy time is passing through such warm fragments. It's already a year old.

The yamen, which had been sealed with a pen, began to work again, and a seal was sent to the emperor.

At the beginning of the year, a great event was that the Minister of Honglu temple, who had never done anything, handed over two letters of state. One is from Xidong and the other is from Yuze.

In the three dynasties before anqing emperor, Daye was closed to the outside world and had little contact with other countries. And Honglu temple has become a leisure Yamen. But unexpectedly, it was just the beginning of the new year, and Xi dung and Yu Ze handed over the national documents one after another.

Others don't know, but Xiao Zhige knows that he and Xue Wuyi have helped each other for several times, which can be regarded as the solution of the good relationship. Years ago, I heard that there was a civil strife in the palace of King Xi dung. Years later, Xi dung handed over the letter of state. I think it was Xue Wuyi who asked for something.

It's just that Yuze suddenly handed over the National Certificate, which really makes people confused. Over the years, the only time they have been in formal contact with Yuze is probably the last winter festival when officials from southern China bought a batch of sweet potatoes from Yuze.

If Yuze king comes here because of this, his action is too fast.

Therefore, there was a lot of discussion at the meeting. They were wary of the aims of the two countries. They felt that they were uneasy and kind-hearted. They had not communicated with each other for so many years. They suddenly submitted their letters of state and wanted to send envoys to meet the emperor of Daye. Obviously, they had a plot.

An Changqing's ideas coincide with theirs. He always remembered that at the end of his last life, King Yuze attacked Daye and occupied Yejing. As for Xi dung, because of the lack of contact, he only vaguely heard people mention it a few times, saying that Xi dung's domestic fighting was serious and it was in chaos. He didn't know the details, but the dung didn't threaten Daye.

He is very wary of Yuze's purpose, and can't help telling Xiao Zhige about Yuze's invasion of Yejing. But this time he didn't pretend to be a dreamer, thinking that if Xiao Zhige asked, whether he believed it or not, he would tell him the truth about his rebirth.

They have been together for three years, and they have enough trust in each other.

But after listening to Xiao Zhige, he was silent for a while, but he didn't ask him how to know. He just rubbed his fingers with his eyes and said, "here, there is a secret I don't know."

An Changqing took back his hand and looked at him calmly: "this is a secret. Do you want to hear it?"

Who knows that Xiao Zhige shakes his head: "I always think this secret will not be very good. Are you willing to tell me?"

I didn't expect him to be so sharp. An Changqing seriously thought about it. They had too many regrets in the last life, but it added to their worries. He shook his head: "it's really not good. I don't want to say it."

Xiao Zhige rubbed the top of his hair and said in a warm voice, "that's not to say."

An Changqing bent her eyes and laughed, and then put the copy of the national document sent by Yu Ze on the table: "let's talk about Yu Ze again. What do you think Yu Ze suddenly handed over the national document for?"

"Although Daye's national strength is slightly weak now, it is not at the time of disintegration." Xiao Zhige fingered the letter of state: "it's said that this Yuze king is a smart man now. I don't think he will fight Daye rashly as you just said."

If it was not for the plot of Daye territory, there would be only two possibilities left.

First, we really want to establish diplomatic relations with Daye and exchange business with each other - but although Yuze's territory is small, its soil and water are rich and fertile. It has not been mentioned for such a long time that we want to establish diplomatic relations now, which is open to discussion.Another possibility is that Yuze, like the dung beetles in the west, asks for them. But they had to wait for the envoys to arrive in Beijing to know what they wanted
