Chapter 527 The Emperor's love is like rain and dew, which can be shared equally, but not enjoyed by one person alone
Chu Ruohan took in her expression and understood.
The emperor's love is like rain and dew, which can be shared equally.
But there are always people who hope that they are the one and only.
"The wind is strong," Chu Ruohan spurred her horse closer. "Your Majesty has just learned to ride a horse. If you're exposed to the wind for too long, you'll probably get a headache. Let's go back."
This step is just right.
Su Wan seemed to have finally found a reason to convince herself.
She nodded, her voice a little tense: "Okay, go back."
She turned her horse around, and the novelty and excitement she had felt when she came here were gone, leaving only silence.
The way back seemed much longer than the way here.
And at this moment, deep in the mountains and forests.
Gu Junze held his breath and lay quietly behind a bush.
Not far away, the cunning silver fox was poking its head out from a crevice in the rocks, looking around vigilantly.
Gu Junze waited patiently until it completely relaxed its vigilance and walked to an open space.
Right now.
Without any hesitation, he drew his bow to the full moon and the arrow flew out silently.
The silver fox fell down, leaving only a tiny, invisible spot of blood on its snow-white fur.
He walked forward, picked up his prey, and carefully brushed off the dust.
The fur is shiny, thick and soft.
He seemed to have seen that on a cold winter day, Chu Ruohan held this hand in her palm, and her pale fingers were finally warm.
A very faint, yet very genuine smile appeared at the corner of Gu Junze's lips.
When Su Wan and Chu Ruohan returned to the camp, the expressions on their faces were completely different from when they left.
The excitement and joy I felt when I came here disappeared, replaced by an indescribable calmness.
Or rather, it is repression.
Chu Ruohan dismounted, handed the reins to the eunuch standing by, and her eyes fell on Su Wan.
Su Wan was helped down from the horse by a palace maid, her movements a little stiff. Her lake blue riding suit was still bright in the sun, but it seemed unable to reflect the brilliance in her heart.
"Your Majesty, please be more open-minded." Chu Ruohan comforted her.
Su Wan nodded slightly, said nothing, and just walked towards her tent.
Her back looked a little thin, as if she was made even lonelier by the vast world.
Chu Ruohan watched her figure disappear behind the curtain and sighed in her heart.
The imperial family has never had the deep love that ordinary couples have. Even if there is, it is always mixed with too many considerations and concerns.
It was not easy for Zhao Yunci to overcome all objections and help Su Wan ascend to the throne of queen.
But no one has ever asked whether Su Wan is willing to be the queen, whether she is willing to be trapped in the palace, and whether she is willing to share her husband with others?
You also have to pretend to be magnanimous.
Unlike those girls raised by aristocratic families, a commoner girl, ascending to the throne, has a lot to learn...
She turned around and walked towards her tent. Xuan Ge'er and Xiao Qingchen were playing in front of the tent. When they saw her come back, they immediately rushed over with cheers.
"mother!"
“Ahhh!”
The innocent smiles of the children instantly dispelled the heaviness that had just filled my heart.
Chu Ruohan squatted down, held the two children in her arms, and kissed their little faces.
"Did you have fun?" she asked softly.
"Happy!" Xuan Ge'er nodded vigorously, holding a small wooden stick in his hand with a few leaves hanging on it, like his trophies.
Little Qingchen just babbled, holding her hair with his little hands, and smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed.
Chu Ruohan hugged the children, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
All she wanted was this simple and true happiness.
At this time, Gu Junze rode slowly towards them. He was covered in a little dust, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
He dismounted swiftly, handed the reins to his personal guard, and walked straight to Chu Ruohan.
"Are you tired of playing?" He looked at his wife holding the child, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Not tired," Chu Ruohan smiled and shook her head, "The children are having a great time."
Gu Junze reached out, naturally took Xiao Qingchen, and held her in his arms and shook her.
The little girl recognized her father and immediately started giggling, her little hands reaching out to scratch his stubble.
"Look what I caught."
Gu Junze smiled and freed his chin from Xiao Qingchen's hands, then took out a silver fox that he had carefully wrapped from his arms.
The snow-white fur is soft and smooth, without any damage.
"Silver Fox!" Chu Ruohan exclaimed in surprise, then looked at him, "Did you go looking for it specifically?"
Gu Junze just smiled faintly: "I know you are afraid of the cold, so this leather is made into a hand warmer, which is perfect for winter."
He handed the silver fox to the servant beside him and instructed, "Handle it properly and nitrate the hide."
"Yes, Duke." The servant bowed in response.
Xuan Ge'er looked at the dead silver fox curiously, then looked at his father with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Daddy is so awesome!"
Gu Junze patted his head with encouragement in his eyes: "When Brother Xuan grows up, he will be as powerful as Daddy."
Xuan Ge'er nodded vigorously, his little face full of seriousness.
Not far away, Lu Ge'er was standing with Master Gu San.
Mr. Gu San had a smile on his face and was talking to several familiar colleagues.
In his conversation, he always inadvertently mentioned Lu Ge'er's performance in front of His Majesty today.
"...His Majesty praised him personally, saying that Brother Lu is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and will become a great man in the future!" Master Gu San said, stroking his beard, his pride evident in his expression.
"Congratulations, Mr. Gu San, your grandson is truly a young talent!" Others flattered him.
Lu Ge'er stood aside, his expression very calm, even with a hint of subtle alienation.
He nodded politely to those who complimented him, but there was no ripple in his heart.
He knew that everything that happened today was just the road paved for him by Gu Junze.
Your Majesty's appreciation of him is the result of his own efforts.
But more importantly, it was the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Gu Junze's words "learning from Ying Qing".
He raised his head, looking over the crowd at Gu Junze who was holding and teasing little Qingchen not far away, and Chu Ruohan and Xuan Ge'er who were standing beside him.
That is the person he should truly rely on and protect.
Master Gu San was still chatting with others and had no idea what Lu Ge'er was thinking.
He simply felt more proud than ever before, as if he had already seen the day when the third branch of the Gu family would be honored.
"Lu Ge'er, come here!" Master Gu San suddenly shouted, interrupting Lu Ge'er's thoughts.
Lu Ge'er responded and walked over.
Master Gu San pointed to an official in a crimson robe and introduced him, "This is your Uncle Wang, who works at the Ministry of Revenue. If you have any questions in the future, you can always ask Uncle Wang for advice."
Lu Ge'er bowed respectfully: "Lu Ge'er greets Uncle Wang."
"Good boy, good boy!" The Lord Wang nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with scrutiny and approval. "You have shown your prowess before His Majesty today. Your future is limitless!"
Lu Ge'er thanked him again, but a slight sense of annoyance welled up in his heart.
He has heard too many such occasions and conversations.
He just wanted to get it all over with quickly, return to the tent, and read quietly for a while.
