In the past few days, the weather in Shenjing City is very clear, cloudless, and at noon, the sun shines straight down, making the leaves that were originally a little yellowish become golden because of the light.

In a simple small courtyard, the smoke of cooking smoke rises with the sun, and in the small front yard, two figures carry axes and chop wood.

Neither of them was very athletic, but they were well-proportioned, and with each swing of the axe in their hands, the large trees were chopped into square, identical-shaped firewood.

Jiang Yue, the fourth son of the king of Bei'an, swept the firewood in front of him into a pile, his face was not red, and he asked breathlessly:

"Brother Li, where were you before, why haven't you heard of you before?"

"I used to be a bounty guest in Qiushui City, Chuzhou, and I was also a little famous, Chuzhou is half a summer away from Shenjing, so the little prince naturally hasn't heard of me. Li Yi's slightly cold voice came from beside him.

"Then how did Brother Li know His Highness?"

Hearing this question, Li Yi slowed down the speed of chopping wood, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and slowly replied:

"This year's Qixi Qiqiao Festival, in Qiushui City, Chuzhou, for a hydrangea and His Royal Highness fought in the Qinglou ring, and the result was a complete defeat. ”

The little prince Jiang Yue was directly stunned.

"Your Highness is kind and easy to speak, you don't need to be too surprised. ”

Li Yi finished chopping the last piece of wood in front of him, and then tied all the firewood into bundles and arranged them neatly under the eaves, and then nodded with satisfaction, after having someone to help, the efficiency of this chopping wood was half faster.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the direction of the kitchen, and then a puff of black smoke floated out, and after a few breaths, the Qing'er girl walked out of the smoke and walked to Li Yi, her face was white and black, but she was still expressionless, and said lightly:

"I guess I can't cook at noon, the pot in the kitchen is a defective product, fried. ”

The little prince Jiang Yue was stunned for a while, and after half a sound, he spit out a sentence:

"Then at noon, I'll go to the Qiong Pulp Restaurant to eat noodle soup, and I'll do Dong. ”

Qing'er girl is not good at cooking because she has been drifting, but Liang Po is a first-class chef, and the food he handles, no matter what the ingredients, must be top-notch delicious after it comes out of the pot.

After a while, a carriage drove out of the bitter tea house and slowly drove down the street.

Since a few days later it will be Zhao Yu's crown ceremony, so Gyeonggi Mansion has also spent a lot of effort to decorate the entire city, the streets of Shenjing City are all hung with red silk cloth, which looks jubilant, and even the frequency of patrols on the street has become frequent, it is foreseeable that the topic of the entire Shenjing City in the next few days will revolve around the matter of the imperial grandson and the crown ceremony.

In the middle of the afternoon, a carriage drove into the White Emperor's Palace, all the way unimpeded, straight into the Lingbo Palace.

This is the first time that Zhao Yu went to the Lingbo Hall where the old queen mother was during the day, and the Lingbo Hall during the day and the night gave people a different feeling.

The Lingbo Hall at night is brilliant, thousands of lights in the hall are lit up at the same time, exuding an orange halo, competing with each other, the whole space that shines is like day, and the Lingbo Hall in the day is solemn, maybe the ancestral bird of the Zhao family is the Xuanniao, so the palaces in the White Emperor's Palace are generally black, and the Lingbo Hall is no exception, gilded on a black background, and the majesty is fully displayed.

As soon as Zhao Yu stepped into the main hall, the middle-aged palace maid on the side was already waiting on the side, kneeling down and saluting:

"Greetings to Your Highness, the Queen Mother is still taking a lunch break in the inner palace, please don't blame Your Highness. ”

Zhao Yu waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and responded:

"It's okay, I'll go in and see my grandmother myself. ”

The door to the inner sanctum of Lingbo was opened, and the figure of a young man walked in softly, without making a sound.

The facilities of the inner sanctum are surprisingly few, with a couch and a table and chairs, which seem to be a little empty.

Zhao Yu approached the couch in the hall, and the old queen mother fell asleep peacefully on it, her face was ruddy, her breathing was steady, and a lamp was lit at the head of the bed, exuding a faint light.

Then Zhao Yu paid attention to the bedside lamp, this lamp is very peculiar, there is no candle wick, candle body, but it burns out of thin air, as if it is burning the entire void, the fire is not large, but it is smooth and abnormal.

The light is lit during the day, and the coreless spontaneous combustion.

The longer Zhao Yu looked at it, his whole mind seemed to be sucked into it, and the two Heavenly Dao cinnabar patterns in the center of his eyebrows began to become hot, bright red, and faintly jumped out of the center of his eyebrows.

"Your grandfather once said that he would light a lamp for me that would never go out, and this is what he left behind. ”

The old queen mother's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Zhao Yu's mind back, Zhao Yu looked down, the old queen mother on the bed had opened her eyes, half of her body stood upright against the soft collapse, her eyes looked at the light at the head of the bed, and a thick look of longing appeared in her eyes.

The old queen mother sat up with her whole body under the support of Zhao Yu, and then continued:

"This light has been on for 50 years, and it never stops burning, and once it almost went out in the middle of it, and my heart was beating at that time, but fortunately it was still back on, and it accompanied me to sleep every day, as if the old man was still by my side. ”

"So Grandpa, he's still alive, isn't he?"

Zhao Yu put on a coat for the old queen mother and asked.

"Your grandfather has always said that since he said that this lamp will not be extinguished, then it will not be extinguished until he dies, so he must still be alive, somewhere in this world, but he will not be able to return. ”

"That's really great. Zhao Yu's voice was a little happy.

The old queen mother raised her hand and touched Zhao Yu's head, her eyes turned kind, and she said:

"But grandma, I know that I can't wait, grandma is old, and she may have to go first, but it's okay to let that ruthless person taste the taste of waiting. ”

Zhao Yu shook his head seriously, raised his hand and took out a purification potion from the void, opened the lid, and handed it to the old empress dowager.

"No, grandma, you try this, this is the liquefied Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, which can replenish the loss of the Origin. ”

The old queen mother took it, gently put it in her mouth, closed her eyes and felt it for a while, felt that the vitality in her body had increased by a point, nodded, and touched Zhao Yu's head again.

"Yu'er has really grown up, and there is such a magical thing, so it seems that I, an old woman, can wait a few more years. ”

After speaking, the old queen mother laughed lightly, her face glowed with an amazing look, with girlish longing and worship in her eyes, and turned into a thick longing, she was the first beauty in the world in the past, and she only waited for one person in her life.

His Majesty Taizu has been missing for forty years, and to this day, she is still waiting.

I have never been afraid of the darkness, because you have been a light with me.

I can have a dream for you every night.
