  "What withers and what doesn't wither," Liu Ying frowned, "sounds too ominous. Ah Yan, you're still young, don't think so heavily. Relax a bit more. Look at the blue sky and white clouds, isn't it nice?"

  Zhang Yan looked at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Good, naturally good."

  A sunny day in Pei County, with a clear blue sky and not a cloud in sight.

  "Yesterday your uncle was still receiving those old villagers from Pei County, how come he has time to come out today?" she asked.

  "His Excellency Feng Chang said," Liu Ying said, "In ancient times, there was a custom of tasting fruits on spring days. Now is the time when cherries are ripe and can be picked to offer to the spirit of the emperor. I listened and thought it reasonable, so I cleared out half a day's schedule."

  She pursed her lips and smiled slyly, "Uncle must have thought of it himself to play a trick? ---- It's clear that someone was asked to bring in the cherries."

  "It's an offering to our ancestors," Liu Ying said, "so it's only natural that I, as the son, should personally pick them, to show my sincerity."

  April cherry blossoms, densely pressed against the branches, delicate and lovely.

  The palace staff set up a wooden ladder, and Liu Ying picked the bright red cherries from among the fruit trees and placed them on a tray beside her.

  The cherry blossoms in the garden had not yet fully ripened, and on one tree, only two or three clusters could be picked. Liu Ying came from the east, and under the sun-kissed cherry blossom tree, she suddenly heard a calling voice from above. She looked up to see Zhang Yan sitting on a branch, pushing aside the leaves to reveal her head. Her white shirt and yellow skirt reached down to her ankles, covering her pants, while her silk shoes were small and fitted closely around her feet, revealing a glimpse of her stockings as they swayed gently, showing off her delicate and lovely foot shape.

  He couldn't help but take another look.

  She put the cherry on her skirt, wiped it with her sleeve and put it in her mouth. She praised, "Uncle, the cherry here is both sour and sweet, very delicious. Do you want to try one too?"

  He frowned and said, "Be careful not to eat something bad. Let them go wash up a bit. It's no big deal."

  "No." Zhang Yan shook her head and smiled, "If they picked them, washed them, and then sent them to me, what's the point of coming all the way to this cherry blossom garden? You don't know, even if you regret it afterwards and get a stomachache, when you're having fun, you have to enjoy it to the fullest."

  He shook his head and ordered, "Be careful, don't fall from the tree."

  "You also underestimate me, don't you?" Zhang Yan smiled and swayed, "Such a big tree, how can it be so careless." Unnoticed, one misstep, and she actually fell towards one side.

  She let out a cry of surprise, covering her face with her hands, and in her heart, she wailed in despair. This was a loss of face on a grand scale.

  "Be careful." Liu Yingzheng turned around and heard the noise, and hurried over to receive it.

  The girl's delicate body leaned over. He had just made a full throw, and with one hand he hugged Zhang Yan, and with the other he grasped the tree trunk. The wooden ladder under him could not withstand the force of the impact, and it creaked and swayed precariously. Just as it was about to collapse, the palace guards managed to hold it steady with great effort.

  The girl in her arms was prostrate on her own chest, her soul just settled, her chest slightly panting. A large piece of cherry blossoms cracked on the branch, and the crimson juice splashed onto the girl's chest, skirt, slowly seeping open, leaving a wet mark.

  His body was extremely close to hers. Close enough to smell the faint scent of fragrance emanating from between her collarbones, a delicate and subtle aroma that penetrated deep into his heart in an instant.

  He stared blankly at the girl's jade-like face, on which there were fine hairs, and the sunlight shone on it, almost transparent. So beautiful, suddenly there was a urge to kiss the girl's red lips.

  Zhang Yan raised her head and met Liu Ying's dark eyes and deep gaze. In an instant, she felt her face flush and her heart skip a beat, with a thin layer of sweat forming on her palms, and all she could hear was the rapid beating of her chest.

  An unprecedented tension existed between them.

  After a while, Liu Yingfang calmed down and forced herself to steady her nerves. She instructed her in a calm tone, "You go change your clothes first. After I pick the last two strings of cherries, we'll head back to the palace."

  "Uh-huh." She replied with her head lowered.

  Cherries are a tribute fruit, offered in front of the temple of Emperor Gao, with a grand sacrifice to pay respects to Emperor Gao.

  Zhang Yan followed Liu Ying, sincerely praying to Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang, kneeling and saying, "Emperor Ah Gong. Past events are already over, and future ones can be pursued. In the past, you did not like your uncle, but in the end, you still left the Great Han to him. He never wanted to disappoint your expectations, striving to create a peaceful and prosperous world."

  "Please, always protect him. Also protect this land that you have left behind, the great Han Dynasty." "A Yan," Lu Yuan also knelt down beside her to pay respects to her father, seeing his daughter's solemn expression, couldn't help but curiously ask, "You're muttering to yourself, what are you asking for?"

  She raised her head and smiled, "Nothing much. I just asked Grandfather to bless Your Majesty."

  Her eyes are like apricots, and every time she raises her head, her eyes shine brightly, very beautiful.

  Lu Yuan sighed and prayed, "Father Emperor, if you are truly in heaven with a spirit that has pity on your children. Please bless Your Majesty and Ah Yan, may they be harmonious as husband and wife, and one day have grandchildren playing at their knees, growing old together."

  "Grandfather," Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please bless His Majesty and me to be together in peace until old age."

  That night, Emperor Hui held a grand feast in the Pei Palace, inviting local officials and elders of the Pei clan. The accompanying marquises and numerous officials attended the banquet.

  After three rounds of wine, he raised his cup on the main seat and toasted, "In the past, the former emperor and the predecessors started from Pei County and finally won the world. Now that the Great Han is prosperous and peaceful, I have returned to my hometown, using wine and water to worship heaven, earth, and ancestors. May our Great Han be forever joyful."

  Then all the ministers wished, "May our great Han dynasty be forever joyful."

  Yuan Ping stood up and said, "Such a good feast cannot be without songs. I have prepared music and dance, please Your Majesty watch it."

  Liu Ying smiled and said, "Okay."

  In the palace or at a banquet hosted by a noble, singing girls and dancing girls would be trained. Liu Ying thought that Yuan Ping was just like this. Suddenly, she saw over a hundred young men enter the hall from under the corridor, bowing and saying, "We wish Your Majesty good health and longevity for a million years." In a flash, six years had passed, and the children who sang "The Great Wind Song" in front of Emperor Gao were now grown up. Some were wealthy with land but lived in poverty, some were already married with children, and others still supported their parents. Yuan Ping, the governor of Pei County, gathered all his strength to find 117 of them, and at this time they wore the same plain clothes as before - green robes with hanging sleeves. They combed their hair into a bun, hung their sleeves, and bowed their hands in unison, singing "The Great Wind" which Emperor Gao had composed back then.

  A strong wind rises, and clouds fly high.

  Liu Ying was taken aback for a moment, put down her wine cup, and a hundred emotions welled up in her.

  A great wind arose and clouds flew high. With mighty power I shall return home across the seas, but how can I get brave warriors to guard the four corners?

  Da Feng was a carefree and proud era, his father founded the era, he took over from his father's hands, these years he was cautious and fearful of damaging his father's glory and pride.

  Among these 117 boys' singing voices, suddenly at one moment, he and his father's hearts were connected. He understood the mood of his father when he sang "The Great Wind".

  Death buries all past grievances. At this moment, Liu Ying shed tears, thinking of his father's kindness and his own filial piety and longing for him.

  The strong wind song ended, Liu Ying ordered, "Bring paper and pen."

  He wrote two large characters for "big wind" on a piece of good paper six feet long and three feet wide.

  "Yuan County Guardian," he ordered. "Have someone build a Songfeng Pavilion in the Pei Palace, and set up a large Wind Tablet on top of it. Have my handwriting engraved on it."

  "Yes." Liu Ying's expression was slightly drunk, and he instructed, "After I leave, change the Pei Palace to the original temple of Gaozu. On that day, Gaozu taught a song to 120 people, all of whom were ordered to play wind instruments. Later, if there are any vacancies, fill them."

  That night, Liu Ying drank heavily and became extremely drunk. Zhang Yan supported him back to the Head Elevation Hall in the Pei Palace.

  The imperial tour was outside, everything was not as good as the Weiyang Palace, and there were not many maidservants following. Ordered two little maids in the palace to serve soup and water. Hua Fei accompanied Zhang Yan by her side, covering her mouth and smiling, "Didn't His Majesty say last year after getting drunk at the Pepper Chamber that he wouldn't drink too much again?"

  "Men are like this," Zhang Yan wrung out the towel in the copper basin, and placed it on her husband's forehead. She smiled with pursed lips. "There are always some emotional moments."

  After laboring and toiling, he was finally able to return to his hometown. During these days in Pei County, his mood had always been pleasant. Today, when hosting a grand feast for all the officials, he let loose and got drunk, which was only natural under the circumstances.

  Although Zhang Yan was the empress, she took care of Liu Xuan's affairs. She didn't trust others to do it, so she had to take action herself. After feeding Liu Xuan a bowl of hangover soup, she and Li Yu worked together to change Liu Xuan into light and comfortable sleeping clothes. Then she stood up and ordered, "All of you go out."

  She walked between the candles, wanting to blow out the lamp. Suddenly, she heard Liu Ying call out from behind her, "Don't."

  Liu Ying rubbed her temples and said, "Let's just keep the lights on, it'll be brighter."

  Zhang Yanyan smiled and said, "Good."

  Liu Ying was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said, "The sky looks like it's going to rain tonight."

  She burst out laughing and teased, "Your Majesty is not only good at governing the country, but also at reading the weather."

  "Are you not convinced?" Liu Ying smiled and said, "I grew up in Pei County since I was a child, the climate here is most familiar to me. In the evening, the sky is overcast, it will rain tonight."

  Huh, Zhang Yan was surprised to see that Liu Ying, who had gotten drunk, became extremely talkative.

  This lovely Liu Ying makes her have an impulse to consider it, and in the future, she will find another opportunity to get him drunk a few more times.

  A loud rumble, and sure enough, thunder rolled in across the sky.

  "Pei County is like this," Liu Ying smiled, "especially in the spring, the weather changes unpredictably. It's common for it to be sunny during the day and rain at night. Elder sister was most afraid of thunder when she was young, if there was a thunderstorm at night, she would pull me to sleep with her, but she had to reverse black and white, saying..."

  Afraid of her brother afraid of thunder.

  Liu Ying suddenly asked, "A Yan, are you afraid of thunder?"

  Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid of thunder."

  Liu Ying closed her eyes and hummed softly.

  She wouldn't bother with those sentimental and melancholic things. However, she really liked the atmosphere tonight, in the spacious and luxurious palace, there was a faint smell of fresh paint, outside the palace it was raining heavily, but they were together in bed, peaceful and quiet.

  A loud clap of thunder suddenly rang out, as if it was going to tear the sky apart. Zhang Yan's whole body trembled and she reflexively threw herself into Liu Ying's arms. Liu Ying chuckled and took advantage of the situation to hold her tight.

  How embarrassing... Zhang Yan couldn't help but despise herself, having just said she wasn't afraid of thunder, only to be scared out of her wits by this one.

  But soon she threw away all these vague ideas.

  She smelled the calming scent of sandalwood on him, as well as the hint of alcohol. His warm embrace was so intoxicating that she felt like she had gotten drunk too.

  "Ah Yan," Liu Ying placed her chin on her shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Let's be together for this lifetime, okay?"

  She was drunk with the breath and warmth in his arms, and didn't even hear what he said clearly, but nodded vaguely. At this moment, I'm afraid that if he asked for her life, she would probably nod unconsciously.

  He lowered his head, chuckled and smiled, his chest trembling slightly, and after a long time, he promised, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life. As long as I am still in this world, I will not let you suffer any grievances."

  Then, a hundred years later, we will be buried together in Anling. We share the same bed in life and the same grave in death.

  A strong wind howled outside, and I didn't know where it had leaked in. The candle flame in front of the bed flickered weakly, and with a "plop", it went out.

  The hall fell into darkness.

  Outside the Pei Palace, thunder rumbled loudly and heavy rain poured down, landing on the roof with a chilling sound. Zhang Yan quietly lay in Liu Ying's arms, he smoothed out her black hair to ensure she wouldn't be pressed or tangled, hindering her movements.

  She winked quietly.

  He is always so gentle, and many times, she indulges in those gentleness. Yet, he also forgets that at the same time, he is also very stubborn. Gentleness and stubbornness are the most distinctive characteristics that belong to him simultaneously.

  He made her a promise, but at the same time, he also made a refusal.

  She doesn't need to ask if he loves her or not. If he didn't, he wouldn't have wanted to keep her by his side for a lifetime. However, he can't help but love her, confined by the shackles in his heart.

  She secretly shed tears.

  We are not unloving, but because of this ship of love, we are the ones who refused to sign on.

  You ask when I'll return, but there's no fixed date,

  The autumn pool is swollen with rain from Ba Mountain tonight.

  When shall we together trim the candle by the western window?

  Let's talk about the night rain on Ba Mountain.

  It really takes longer and longer to type, why why why.
