Accompanying the king in the scenery of the mountains and rivers, the heart relaxed and happy poetry;
When his grandfather returned to the palace, he was surprised to find that Tang Chi had given birth to a dragon.
When the Emperor arrived at the Emperor's palace, he would not see anyone around during the day, but would often go out to investigate nearby. However, during dinner time, he would often appear to accompany the empress dowager for a meal, and most of the time, he would accompany Rong'er during the night. Sometimes, Rong'er would feel that this feeling was similar to that of an ordinary family. The empress dowager was the elder of the family, while the emperor was like a hard-working husband, while she was just an ordinary wife. There was no other woman here, so she would help her husband tidy up in the morning and wait for his return in the evening.
The day before her return to the palace, the emperor finally took some time to stroll with Rong'er for a day. Rong'er and the emperor climbed to the top of the mountain and took in the beautiful scenery of the spring, the valley beneath them was hazy, the lake water was beautiful, the scenery was pleasant and one could still see the Great Wall. The emperor said that the Great Wall had been built by the ancient people using their wisdom to protect themselves from the outsiders, but now the world was clear inside and outside the city. At dusk, they sat in the Flowing Cup Pavilion. Before coming to the capital, the Emperor had told them of its beauty.
Xuan Ye asked with concern, ”Does Rong'er feel tired?”
”The Emperor is accompanying Rong'er. Rong'er isn't tired.” Ronger replied with a smile. She had been walking all day, and she usually didn't walk much either, so her feet were already sore.
Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er tiredly embracing him and said, ”Actually, I should spend more time with you every day. I wouldn't have finished reading all of today's events and wouldn't be tired. I just don't have time.”
”Only when Rong'er went with the emperor this time did he realize that the emperor was usually working so hard when he left the palace.” Rong'er muttered in Xuan Ye's arms.
”That's right. As the Son of Heaven, he's the son of heaven.” There was always work to be done. ”En, Rong'er, tomorrow I will go and inquire about Zunhua and the soldiers of the Sanlun Battalion. We will probably return to the palace the day after tomorrow.”
”In truth, Rong'er really can't bear to part with it. Here, he feels as if his life has been very ordinary, just like an ordinary family.” Rong'er smiled as he looked up.
”Rong'er likes this place. We will bring you here in the future, okay?” Xuan Ye laughed. ”Every year, if there is a time like this to leave the palace, to breathe fresh air, and to live a life where the rules are not strict, and most importantly, there is only Rong'er and me. There is no need to worry about others.” Xuan Ye said with a smile.
”Heh, speaking of this, I still recall that a few days ago, I wrote the first drama poem with a few other officials in this round. This is also what I was feeling.” Xuan Ye led Rong'er to a stone table.
”Oh? What poem? ”Please speak, Your Majesty, and let Rong hear you.” Rong'er replied with a smile.
Xuan Ye lightly coughed and slowly chanted:
”The morning frost covered the floor and the water was clear.
”Sitting in a floating cup for several days at a time, the monarch and official discussed the scenery for the rest of their lives.”
Xuan Ye continued to laugh and say, ”At that time, Zhen was drinking wine with a few officials and chatting about their ambitions. Suddenly, a feeling of elegance overcame him and he created an impromptu song.”
Rong'er blinked in thought for a moment, then smiled and said, ”The emperor's poems are very good. Rong'er also has one. Is it okay for your majesty to listen to it?”
”Alright, Rong'er, tell us about it.” Xuan Ye curiously looked at Rong'er.
Rong'er pondered for a moment, then said shyly:
