In December of the seventeenth year of Chongning, it snowed heavily in the imperial capital.
During the Xinke Gongsheng Palace Examination, Xu Lianye dressed in red, draped in flowers and brocade, walked all the way from outside the imperial city gate to the palace, chatting, laughing and feasting in an unparalleled style.
That year, Qi Haofang was fourteen years old. He sat on the side seat next to the golden dragon chair, watching intently as the crimson lotus-colored figure walked out of the vast expanse of heaven and earth. His startling glance was enough to distract thousands of eyes in the world.
The country is beautiful and the wine is drunk in the morning, and the clothes are dyed at night when the sky is fragrant.
He walked with all the officials and kowtowed, and the moment he raised his head, his beauty and arrogance were breathtakingly beautiful.
Facing the old emperor who kept coughing, he smiled and said: "Xu Lianye, a common man."
That was the first year they met. Qi Haoshang was the second prince, and Xu Lianye was just a sixteen-year-old Gong student from the Xinke University.
Twenty years later, when Qi Hao thought about all this again, he still felt a little confused.
For so many years, everyone around me has been Xu Lianye. Resigned from the imperial capital, established Linyuan, brought peace to the world, and wiped out the wilderness. He was the one who decided on the strategy of the three armies and wrote poems and poems. He was also the one who made Wu songs and Zhou Lang's songs in the middle of the night. He was just as calm and determined as when we first met him. He said, Qi Hao, you will be the emperor.
Whether it's Songhua brewing spring water and sencha tea, or competing for deer and swords in all directions, it's all just for him.
No matter whether it is a cloud of smoke and a drop in the ocean a hundred years from now, or whether it is a grand promise in this life, the imperial hegemony will be nothing more than a joke.
Laughing and noisy, I know that the people in the autumn pavilion are picturesque, and I don't envy the beautiful sun and sunset.
They spent twenty years living someone else's life. It is worthwhile to have him in my life.
Enough.
