"Yaoyao likes this bird very much."
Ren Beixi's voice was deep.
After receiving the order to investigate the case, he was able to move around the palace freely. The first thing he wanted to do was to take his lover for a walk in the palace.
...Since the last time I returned to Beijing.
That's all.
When Ren Beixi saw Gui Yao's soft eyes looking at the little bird, he frowned and put away his sword.
Bend over slightly.
Gui Yao felt his breath and raised her head in surprise. When they met, she smiled sweetly and said, "I've decided to keep this little bird with me. What do you think, my husband?"
"This bluebird has a very unique feather color. It must be a favorite of the palace. If Yaoyao likes it, she must first ask the Queen to give it to her."
He wanted to touch Guiyao's hair and was almost pecked by a bird.
Guiyao just nodded.
The little bird also jumped onto her head and nodded.
"Of course, I won't let General Ren commit more crimes. Don't worry, I've already told the Queen. Let the little bird accompany us for the next few days."
"I forgot to introduce myself, eh..."
Before Gui Yao finished her words, she was suddenly pecked on the forehead by a bird. She could actually see a trace of anxiety on the little bird's face through her inner voice.
"No, Yaoyao, how do you want to introduce me? We have to be careful not to be mistaken for aliens when we travel through time and space. What if we get burned to death? No, my bird is so beautiful!!"
Guiyao narrowed her eyes.
Ren Beixi: "What is it saying?"
Guiyao: "It said it smells delicious when roasted."
Shen Xiaoyuan fell on her head and said, "My good sister, why did you even tell him about your old trick of mind reading?" The little bird had no choice but to be furious.
In short, the team now consists of two people and one bird.
Gui Yao and Shen Xiaoyuan communicated for a long time before they decided whether her bird's name should be Chenchen or Yuanyuan.
Forget it, let’s just go with the little bluebird.
Ren Beixi was not very interested in the creature that was blocking him and Gui Yao from getting close, but Gui Yao liked it and reluctantly accepted the little bluebird to follow her.
Guiyao listened to the increasing degree of completion in her mind.
"Maybe we got to know each other from strolling around here." She swung back and forth on the swing. It turned out that the beautiful places in this palace were not limited to the imperial garden.
Ren Beixi said that he entered the palace with his father when he was about ten years old.
At that time, she met the ominous seventh prince Gao Shun, who was trapped in the deep palace and killed his mother.
Gui Yao asked him curiously, "Didn't you say he was your younger brother who grew up with you?"
Ren Beixi knew that she was referring to the words he had used to introduce Li Cong. He paused and nodded.
"Well, I've wanted to be a big brother since I was little, but I couldn't. When I first met him, he called me Brother Ren. I stopped and he snatched the food box from my hand."
"Can you snatch it away?" Gui Yao laughed.
Naturally there are some omissions.
At that time, the food box that Ren Beixi brought contained the military book given to him by the late emperor. He knew that his father did not like him to practice sword, so he wanted to hide it and take it out of the palace to study in the inn.
General Xiao Ren was already very good at martial arts at that time.
He just surrendered his sword before entering the palace.
While Gao Shun was chewing on the pancake handed to him by Ren Beixi, he also laughed at him for being snatched away.
Ren Beixi said in a deep voice, "A scholar must be broad-minded and resolute. The responsibility is heavy and the road ahead is long. Don't act like this again in the future."
Guiyao nodded.
"Be respectful in appearance, be reasonable in words, be respectful in actions. You can't remember the rest. These are the nine things a gentleman should think about. In the hundreds of moves in the palace that day, you were defeated. Both of you are not gentlemen now." This is how she taught Ren Beixi a lesson.
The swing swung for a long time.
Gui Yao jumped down with a click, and Ren Beixi, who was trying to find a flower for her, asked seriously.
"But do we still need to go inside?"
When I looked up, I saw the young lady bending over and curiously reaching out to play with the flowerpot on the steps.
Gui Yao suddenly smiled, turned around and waved, her green and orange skirt looking stunningly beautiful in the sunlight.
"Look!"
"The stolen kumquats." Guiyao picked up the pot and saw a note pressed in the pot. After looking carefully, there were some rather clumsy small characters in it, which should be written: Gambling on books has dissipated the fragrance of tea.
Eunuch Liu came over from a distance and took the kumquat flower pot with a smile, which Ren Beixi was holding with one hand.
Shen Xiaoyuan above him chirped, "That seems like something this guy would do."
Guiyao suddenly became happy.
Life is long.
Some friends are like those who stand by each other’s necks in times of danger, and some friends are like the blade of grass or the bird who knows you very well, whether near or far.
If I have to say, Shen Xiaoyuan watched Ren Beixi grow up.
"That's right. Who knew that this person would bring my best friend here when he grew up? Thinking of this, let's just make a truce."
"No more pecking?"
Guiyao promised the stupid little bird that if she found the two boxes of red dates later, she would give them to her for a few bites.
She looked up and saw Ren Beixi, dressed in black, standing under the red wall. He raised his straight nose slightly and pointed to the Buddha statue in the distance to Gui Yao.
Let's get on the road.
It was really lonely walking down the harem, and the closer you got to the palace's boundaries, the more lonely it was.
This golden Buddha actually stands in such a corner.
Gui Yao keenly noticed that this place seemed to be very far away from His Majesty's former residence, almost one to the east and the other to the west.
But Ren Beixi said that this golden Buddha was cast by the previous emperor for Concubine Gao, who loved to worship Buddha. At that time, the Yiku Palace where Concubine Gao lived had the same specifications as the Queen's palace.
Perhaps it was because the ivy on the palace walls and the asphalt on the stones showed no signs of repair.
The whole road is a bit eerie.
The little green birds flew from above her head to Guiyao's arms and huddled there. She used to like to come and play with Concubine Gao. Concubine Gao was more spoiled than other concubines in the palace, but she was very kind to her servants. She also liked to keep cats, but on the day she had a difficult delivery, those cats and even the mice in the palace might have been killed.
Later, when she was alone, she didn't dare to come.
Looking from afar now, we can no longer see the vitality and newness of the past.
Guiyao listened carefully, tried to comfort her, and at the same time carefully looked for the traces of the two boxes of red dates.
"Ren Beixi." Gui Yao suddenly spoke. "Back then, Jiuchong had mentioned the unknown cause of Concubine Gao's unborn child and the reasons for the difficult birth. The late emperor, on the other hand, appointed Jiuchong as Imperial Preceptor, and Your Majesty made no other choice after ascending the throne."
Maybe it’s because of coming here.
She finally wanted to express her doubts.
Ren Beixi held her hand, his lips pale as he said, "Why do you ask, instead of..."
Guiyao knew he was testing her.
He also knew she would be angry.
However, if the question is not answered, the temptation will also drift away from your fingertips like smoke.
Their eyes met, and Gui Yao suddenly remembered a long time ago when she felt guilty and her hope for Ren Beixi was that he would also hide something from her, so that they could travel together but still get what they wanted.
But how can a husband and wife distinguish so clearly?
They used to be husband and wife.
Then we will be husband and wife from now on.
Sometimes Gui Yao felt that Ren Beixi was even more twisted than she was, but when they kissed, she remembered that he seemed to be just too insecure, but he couldn't bear to be disrespectful to her.
What terrible ancient people.
Shen Xiaoyuan thought so too. If it wasn't too conspicuous to fly away now, she wouldn't want to watch the two young couples getting closer and closer and finally kissing each other, kissing her so hard that tears rolled down her eyes. She looked so pitiful.
Red dates...my red dates...
Gui Yao heard Shen Xiaoyuan's inner voice, so she pushed Ren Beixi with one hand, and looked down at her bird with a guilty look.
"Let's go and take a look in front of the Buddha."
This golden Buddha is located in a courtyard with only a few tables around it. There was the sound of a broom, and then twice, and there was actually someone here.
The man was quietly sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
When she noticed someone coming, she didn't seem too surprised. Before kneeling down to worship, Ren Beixi helped her up with his sword.
The old woman seemed to be deaf and dumb.
Gui Yao quietly followed Ren Beixi as they strolled around the courtyard. Although the table in front of the golden Buddha was very old, it still had incense, candles and fruits on it. It looked like it had just been replaced and was of quite a large size.
Ren Beixi bent down slightly.
I saw his scabbard push aside the yellow cloth hanging on the table, and under the table, there were two beautiful and exquisite boxes.
Guiyao picked it up and gently wiped off the dust on it with her fingertips.
Two boxes of red dates, indeed.
When the box was opened, another poem with the same handwriting was seen.
I still pity the green grass and trees.
"Although I know the vastness of the universe, I still feel pity for the green grass and trees."
Guiyao likes this poem very much.
In the previous life.
When she was young.
Although Guiyao was an orphan, she once thought that life was simple. Apart from working in the welfare home during every winter and summer vacation, studying was the most important thing in her life. Every time she was studying, the little girl who slept next to her would just hold a dirty stray cat in her arms.
"Sister, what's the difference between us and it?"
Guiyao simply stopped writing: "Do you like it?"
The little girl nodded.
So before she went to college, she briefly took care of the young children in the orphanage and chose another path.
Don't be abandoned. Once you are left behind, don't expect to be picked up.
Be yourself, live for yourself, and live to protect the things you love.
On that hot summer day without air conditioning, a stray cat named Xiaohui left the welfare home forever.
Later, Guiyao, who had already graduated, returned to the welfare home and saw a child playing Snake with a Nokia phone from afar.
"Life is so fragile, sister. Why do you want to leave the orphanage? The director said you are the first college student here."
As time goes by, the little girl in the distance has grown up.
At that time, she said she wanted to stay here, wanted to give the cat a clean bath, wanted to drink milk every day, and wanted to see Guiyao leave.
Later she became the next director of the welfare home.
The most irresponsible decision Guiyao made in her life was the day she watched Xiaohui die.
After planning a part-time job that would allow her to survive while ensuring she saved the full scholarship, she chose to study veterinary medicine.
Guiyao never had a pet in her previous life.
Many of her classmates chose this major because they love animals or have pets at home that have been raised since childhood and are more like family members.
Guiyao sometimes feels very lonely.
Well, I feel lonely most of the time.
Especially after her roommate passed away, she looked at the will that had been drawn up long ago and the pet hospital left to her, and wondered whether her choice was wrong.
It's so hard to follow the routine.
Guiyao donated the money she received in the fixed account every month to welfare organizations.
Accidents exist in every corner of life. Most of the time, she would choose to wear a helmet. On rare occasions, when she sat in the back seat of a taxi, it seemed as if her roommate was smiling and planning the future with her.
"Yaoyao."
"I recently read an ancient Chinese novel. It's very interesting. It talks about..."
What was it?
Gui Yao suddenly raised her head, and the small green bird, neither light nor heavy, flew in front of her with a chirping sound, and rubbed her with its furriest belly.
Shen Xiaoyuan's voice was very clear: "Ignore me! Yaoyao, your general husband has gone to hand in the box. Thank you for the red dates."
“It’s great that we can meet again!”
