9. Chapter 9

Liuxia Mountain is located in the eastern suburbs of the capital. The mountain is not high, but it is very wide. It is a good place for the children of nobles in the capital to go out for spring hunting. Peach blossoms are planted in one area, and it was bought by a wealthy businessman. It was well tidied up, built roads, built pavilions and towers for the officials and nobles to come and have a female family to visit.

When I entered Taoyuan, the deeper I walked, the fewer tourists were nearby.

Wei Zhao led Tang Yu and his brother to the most secluded place. It was a place he accidentally discovered here a few years ago. They planted old trees, thick and thick. The long branches intertwined each other, and a sea of ​​flowers was weaved above their heads. The sunlight shone in from the middle of the petals, and the aperture was dotted, making it look like a fairyland on earth.

However, it was too far from the entrance of the garden. It was almost noon before the group walked over slowly. Fortunately, the flowers were blooming all the way, and they didn't feel the hard work. Brother Qi felt even more comfortable. When he was tired, he would carry him by Wei Zhao without having to get stuck between his mother and elder sister. Brother Qi was particularly lively at this time.

When he arrived at the place, Wei Zhao put down Brother Qi. When Tang Yu saw that his face was covered with sweat, he whispered to remind him to wipe it.

"Help me." Wei Zhao lowered his voice and looked at her expectantly.

Tang Yu directly led Brother Qi to walk a few steps away and bent down to help his younger brother wipe his sweat. Wei Zhao was both envious and jealous, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

When they went out for a trip, the two of them were chasing lightly. In addition to the coachman who was guarding outside, Tang Yu took Mo Lan with him to serve him, and Wei Zhao also took his long-supporting Awu. When Tang Yu took care of Brother Qi, Awu spread the mat under a peach blossom tree. Mo Lan squatted beside him, first laying a small mat on the mat, then putting a few pastry boxes on it, and three bamboo tubes filled with water.

Brother Qi'er's stomach was gushing, and Tang Yu was hungry, so he walked over to have a meal.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

After dinner, Brother Qi took a break. Tang Yu leaned against the tree trunk and looked up at the corner of the blue sky that could not be covered by peach blossoms, relaxing in body and mind.

"Do you like it?" Wei Zhao sat cross-legged beside her. She looked at the flowers and sky. He kept staring at her side face, which was even more beautiful than peach blossoms. Her skin was as delicate as snow, so tender that it seemed as if it could come out of water with a press. Wei Zhao's chest once again had a familiar impulse, trying to touch her, kiss her, and hug her into his arms.

Tang Yu nodded and wanted to thank him, but turned his head, but hit the man's faint eyes, which contained gentleness and some desires that Tang Yu seemed to understand.

Tang Yu suddenly became nervous and opened his eyes to persuade him, "You go there to rest too. Let's take a nap and go down the mountain when you wake up."

"I'm not sleepy." Wei Zhao grabbed a dogtail grass from the side and poked her face gently with the furry end. "Cousin, I want to take you to a place, not far from here."

Tang Yu snatched his dogtail grass and played absent-mindedly, "Why do you want to go there? Is there a special view?"

"You will know when you go." Wei Zhao patted the hem of her clothes, walked around the mat, and looked at her quietly.

Tang Yu bit his lip and stood up with the peach blossom tree. When he looked up, he saw Wei Zhao laughing. It happened that he was standing in the sunshine. The sun was bright, but in Tang Yu's eyes, the light was not as bright as the spirit in his eyes.

Go to the places you want to go with the person you like.

Tang Yu no longer resisted and picked up his bamboo tube as a cover. Wei Zhao whispered to praise her intelligence, and then went over and asked Molan Awu to guard Brother Qi, and the cousins ​​went to the stream to fetch water.

The place is indeed not far away, and it takes a cup of tea to arrive.

Tang Yu saw an old peach tree that started to fork from the root, with its roots and two branches. Each of them grew into a big tree that one could not hold. It seemed to be separated, and the thick and thin branches on the branches gathered together again. The peach blossoms were pink and brilliant, shining with each other, and they never left each other.

Without Wei Zhao's explanation, Tang Yu understood the meaning of him bringing her over.

She secretly glanced at the man beside her, walked sweetly under the peach tree, and reached out to touch the rough bark of the peach tree.

"There are words on the tree, please look for it." Wei Zhao followed her without leaving any steps. The beauty of flowers was even more beautiful, and she couldn't bear to look away.

Tang Yu was surprised and circled around the two trees. He had seen them up and down, but he couldn't find them. She looked at Wei Zhao, walked to the middle of the two trees, held the tree and stepped on the uneven roots, lowered her head, and indeed saw a line of small words on a piece of bare bark exposed on the left: Cousin, I'm waiting for you to get married to me?

The crooked characters should have been cut out with a dagger, and the handwriting cannot be paid attention to, but Tang Yu knew that this was done by Wei Zhao.

Looking at the two lines of words, she blushed and lowered her head shyly.

She had known that she would marry him, and it would have been the past two years since she got married, but she didn't expect him to ask this question.

"Do you remember we came here to play three years ago? I carved it secretly." Wei Zhao walked to the tree on the right, took out the sharp stone that had been prepared in his sleeve and handed it to her, "Cousin, I named this tree Marriage Tree. Write down the answer in your heart. I promise not to peek, at least not peek today."

Tang Yu looked at the orchid embroidery case on the hem of his clothes, his red lips tightly pursed, and refused to answer, his face getting redder and redder.

"I'll put it here, you write, I will never peek after I go to the tree." Wei Zhao knew that she was shy, so he put the stone in a gap in the raised bark and turned to the other side.

The warm breeze was blowing, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. Tang Yu looked at the marriage tree in front of him. Looking at the words Wei Zhao left three years ago, her heart was getting faster and faster. The marriage tree, asking for marriage, only their marriage, such a good scenery, such a simple and fiery heart, how could Tang Yu not agree to him?

She pinched the slender stone, turned over, squatted down, supported the tree with one hand, and devoutly cut her answer, with every stroke of care.

After writing, Tang Yu put down the stone, stepped onto the flat ground, and went behind the tree to find Wei Zhao, "Let's go."

Just after walking two steps, Tang Yu heard Wei Zhao running to the other side, and he tightened his heart and immediately ran back, "Wei Zhao, you promised me not to look!" He blushed in an anxious manner and blushed.

"I just promised you not to peek. Now I'm watching it openly!" Wei Zhao stepped into the middle of the two trees first, lowered his head, and saw a delicate "good" there.

Wei Zhao was ecstatic and looked up at her.

Tang Yu was so angry that he turned around and walked back quickly.

Wei Zhao was panicked and jumped down to catch up with him, reached out to stop him in front of Tang Yu, with his black eyes as bright as a star, "Cousin, you really agreed to marry me. I am very happy. I don't want to go back tonight, so I stay here and sleep with the tree."

"Then don't go back." Tang Yu turned around and said coldly.

Wei Zhao knew she was angry that he was untrustworthy, so he pulled her cuff from behind with a flattering look.

Tang Yu shook it away and walked a few steps forward.

Wei Zhao chased after her. This time he stared at her thin white little hand, clenched his fists nervously and let go and clenched his fists. After several times, he finally mustered up the courage to grab her hand.

It was about to meet the same stout old tree next to the marriage tree, suddenly a black shadow turned out, which was particularly abrupt in the pink flower. Wei Zhao was shocked and immediately put away his thoughts of getting close to his cousin and quickly pulled Tang Yu behind him. Then he looked at the man in black, but when he recognized the other party's identity, he frowned.

"Prince?"

Tang Yu did not see who came clearly. When he heard Wei Zhao calling him the other prince, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

After the rebellion in the past few years, there is only one Duan King left in the Great Qi Dynasty. No one can be called the prince except Song Qin.

Why is he here?

Then did he hear her and Wei Zhao's words?

He regretted and hated, Tang Yu clenched his handkerchief and secretly scolded Song Qin.

"What a pair of childhood sweethearts, love for the wife." Song Qin stood up long, his cold and black eyes glanced at the so-called marriage tree, looked at Wei Zhao again, and looked at the tender green corner of the girl hiding behind him. "I just don't know what I would feel when the Jingning Hou, who was loyal to the country in the northern border, learned that his pearl in his hand had made a lifelong life and was insulted by the family tradition."

The voice is calm, but the words are extremely sarcastic.

Tang Yu's face was as white as paper. Although both elders agreed to this marriage, what she had done with Wei Zhao just now was a private decision for life. No one knew that Tang Yu would not regret and blame himself, nor would he feel that he had done something wrong. However, in the eyes of outsiders, her true violation of ethics. Once Song Qin spread it out, her reputation would be ruined.

"The prince is so bad. I have already asked my uncle to marry my cousin. My uncle has agreed. I will start preparing for the marriage between the two families when he comes back from the border. My cousin and I are in love with each other, and my parents have allowed me. What I do today is a relationship that will not be a private life. Please be careful of your words."

Wei Zhao calmly defended his cousin and said, without waiting for Song Qin to speak, he immediately questioned: "The prince is noble, but I have a saying that I don't say goodbye. Since the prince is here, why don't he show up to meet? It's not a gentleman to eavesdrop on others' words behind his back."

Song Qin sneered: "I came first, and I did not blame you for disturbing me. What qualifications do you have to let me come out to see you? Do not treat you inappropriately, and do not listen to you. Do you think I am willing to listen to you and I am dirty? Not showing up is to give face to Marquis Jingning and give his daughter some face. When I come out to see you, I don't want to hear more dirty words."

The more he said it, the more ugly he heard, Wei Zhao's face turned pale, and he was about to raise his foot to argue with Song Qin. Tang Yu lowered his head and pulled off his robe. Gu Jing Wubo said, "Cousin, let's go."

He is not afraid of being in a bad state, but today they are in the wrong. Song Qin only needs to bring out ethics to give them more humiliation. Tang Yu doesn't want to listen anymore. Moreover, Song Qin is the King Duan and the regent with the powerful government and the opposition. Once he is angry, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

"Let's go." Finally, he called Wei Zhao, and Tang Yu turned around and walked on the way.

Wei Zhao's breathing was heavy, but he was not so angry that he lost his mind. He suppressed his anger and followed.

Song Qin looked at Tang Yu's graceful and calm back, thinking about the gentleness, shyness, beauty and lovely she showed in front of Wei Zhao just now, her chest was inexplicably blocked.

He was unhappy and couldn't tell why he was unhappy.

Song Qin only knew that she would not think about whether she would be happy or not.

"Miss Tang." Standing there, Song Qin shouted coldly.

Tang Yu paused, staring at the front, but no one looked.

Song Qin smiled and said lightly to her back, who was still arrogant even though she had done something wrong, "Miss Tang, I left the third princess in the palace last year, but I was actually unsure of it. Because the palace had no female relatives, I was a little worried about the upbringing of the third princess. However, when I met by chance today, I saw with my own eyes the words and deeds of the most lady in the capital mentioned by the Queen Mother. I couldn't help but be glad that I took out the third princess early."

In just one short sentence, he also denied Tang Yu and the Empress Dowager.

"If you insult the Empress Dowager, you should be punished!" Wei Zhao could no longer bear it and turned around and walked towards Song Qin, staring at him.

Song Qin remained motionless, with a silent expression of disdain for Wei Zhao, overestimating his ability.

Wei Zhao became more and more angry. Tang Yu suddenly ran up, stopped Wei Zhao, saluting Song Qin calmly, and his eyes drooped: "Thank you for your teachings. Tang Yu must remember it in your heart, reflect on yourself every day, and never forget it for life. I just hope that the prince will forget what he saw and heard today in view of his father's loyalty to the court, and avoid the reputation of the Tang family. "

"Cousin..." Wei Zhao was furious and couldn't bear to give in to Song Qin.

Tang Yu turned around and warned him with his eyes.

Wei Zhao never could bear to go against her. He clenched his fists angrily, gritted his teeth, walked to Tang Yu, and knelt down to Song Qin: "I have made mistakes in my words and deeds. Please let my cousin go. If you have any anger, I will be willing to be punished."

Looking at the tall back kneeling there, thinking that Wei Zhao hated Song Qin the most in his life, Tang Yu closed his eyes with heartache and bent his knees to kneel with him.
