Chapter 16
Chapter 16
In the winter of the 13th year of Yongding, Qingli spent the first New Year's Eve without Chu Yunqi in this world.
After the New Year's Eve, Guang Yucai and the others were driven to sleep by Qingli, and after that, Qingli stayed alone in the Chang'an Pavilion study.
The warm light dispelled the coldness of the room. Qingli sat behind the desk, spread out a stack of imperial publications, took a pen, dipped it in ink, showed a faint smile, and wrote on the paper: Yunqi ,
It's been a long time, and I miss it very much.
Wen Jun's great victory, I am very happy. There is nothing wrong with Kyoto, and Li is also safe. Please don't read it.
On the auspicious day of New Year's Eve, when there is a great victory on the front line, I sing about the joy of the present. I hope the future will be quiet and good, express my deep feelings, and remember my heartfelt wishes.On this beautiful day, when you enter the desert and the solitary smoke, you can sigh that Guanshan is difficult to cross, and it is hard to see your face, so I only write a book to express my heartfelt feelings.I hope that one day, I will ride horses with you through the busy market and see the flowers in Chang'an.
Cloud up, take care.
Yours sincerely
Qingli dried the ink on the paper carefully, folded it carefully, and put it in a small mailbox.Walking out of the door again, the fine snowflakes fluttered one after another, shining brightly under the dim moonlight.Qingli walked under the plum tree in the yard, brushed off the snow on a branch of plum blossom, and then carefully selected a red plum that was as thick as fire, carefully picked it off, and brought it into the house. By candlelight, the snow water on the flowers was dried before carefully putting them into the letter box and sealing the letter box.He went to the corner of the house again, opened the cage, took out the carrier pigeon inside, tied the letter tube to the carrier pigeon's feet, opened the window, and threw the carrier pigeon into the air. The carrier pigeon flapped its wings a few times, and then flew northwest.
Yunqi, let me show you the scenery that is not found in the desert grassland. There is a folk saying of 24 fanhuaxins since ancient times, "January 24 climates and 24 climates, from Xiaohan to Grain Rain. April [-] climates [-] climates, every [-] Every day, respond to it with the wind letter of a flower. It begins with plum blossom and ends with neem flower." [-] Fanfeng letter, the wind has faith, the flower is not wrong, it is like this every year, and it will never be lost. The flower trade wind blows from the years , and brushed into the depths of time.Qingli looked at the snow falling outside the window, Yunqi, you are not alone, Yan Qingli will always know and accompany Chu Yunqi, and be friends for the rest of his life.

There is no city for thousands of miles in the wild clouds, and the rain and snow even connect the desert.Hu Yan wailed and flew every night, and Hu'er burst into tears.
In the lonely desert, the winter is unstoppable, the chestnut is depressed, and the mountains and rivers are lonely.
Inside the big tent, the howling cold wind brushed against the curtains, making sharp sounds.Yun Qi was wearing a battle armor, standing in front of the sand table, frowning.
"General, there are carrier pigeons parked in front of your tent." A soldier walked in quickly, holding a gray-backed white-bellied pigeon in his hand.
Yun Qi was about to reprimand the soldier for trespassing, but when he saw the carrier pigeon, he unexpectedly softened his expression and showed a smile, "Okay, it's fine, you can go down."
The soldier was stunned. Although he said that the general was very kind to his soldiers, always rushed to the front in battle, never treated the soldiers badly, and everyone loved him very much, but no one had ever seen the general's smile.Seeing the general smiling so happily now, I really feel a little uncomfortable. Could it be the letter from the general's wife?The soldier went out in a daze.
Yun Qi tremblingly opened the letter box, a little eager, but afraid of breaking the letter box, as soon as he opened it, something floated down, Yun Qi quickly reached out to pick it up, but it was a red plum, although a little withered and dehydrated, but It is still a rare and beautiful view in this lonely place.
Yun Qi put the plum blossoms on the table, took out the letter paper, unfolded it carefully, and read the letter word by word.
The familiar thin golden body is naturally luxurious, elegant and handsome, just like that person.Yun Qi evoked a faint smile, would you like to see Chang'an flowers with me one day?Yunqi picked up the plum blossom, the old saying 24 Fanfengxin, A Li, you mean to take me to see the scenery of the four seasons?

The east wind turned in the brothel last night, and the brocade tents were cold and the spring was shallow.The weeping willow shakes and the warbler sings in disorder, and the curl of smoke is unbearable.
Winter is gone, and the footsteps of spring are here at noon.
The ice melts and the snow releases, and everything recovers.The exam was also approaching, and the capital began to be crowded. People from all over the Chu Dynasty rushed to the capital one after another. After ten years of hard work, they had to sharpen their swords, only to surprise four people in this exam and return to their hometown.
Yongding 14th spring, March.Qingli seventeen, clouds rise sixteen.
Will try to start.
The general examination is the same as the rural examination. It is divided into three sessions, one session on three days. The first session is on the ninth day of the lunar month, the second session is on the [-]th, and the third session is on the [-]th. play.The three-place examination items, four calligraphy essays, five-character eight-rhyme poems, five classic essays, and policy questions, are the same as those of the rural examination.
Looking at the noble sons of the capital in the Imperial College, their heads were burnt out, and they were worried about the heavy examination tasks. What's more, they would rather give up the examination and wait for three years to take the examination again. Once, Qingli was very calm.On the contrary, the princess and Yanxiang were a little worried, especially the princess, with their beautiful jade colors, they were busy, and they were busy looking for things to bring for Qingli.
Qingli watched them busy, looked at his father's loving and expectant eyes, and Qingli felt warm in his heart. This is family affection. When encountering things, they will be more worried than yourself.
In the spring of Yongding 14, on March [-]th, the first test will be held.
In the spring of Yongding 14, on March [-]th, there will be the second test.
In the spring of the 14th year of Yongding, on March [-]th, there will be the third test.
……
On the afternoon of the [-]th, the entire test was over.
Qingli walked out of the examination room, and the breeze of March in Yangchun accompanied by the fragrance of unknown flowers gently brushed by, making people feel the news of spring.Qingli looked around, but only saw Yu Cheng jogging towards him, suddenly felt a sense of loss, Qingli smiled wryly, how could she forget, Yunqi is still at the border.
Putting away the wry smile, Qingli squeezed out a gentle smile, and smiled at Yu Cheng who ran over, "Ah Cheng, slow down, don't worry."
Yu Cheng also smiled, "Hey, young master, let's go, there are too many people after the exam today, all the people from across the country are here, there will be more people in a while, I'm afraid the young master will be crowded."
Qingli smiled deeper, "Okay, let's go, let's go home quickly."
"Yes, master," Yu Cheng hurriedly walked in front of Qingli, and while leaving the road for Qing, he turned his head and said to Qingli, "Master, someone gave us the things during your exam today, in the carriage Woolen cloth."
"Well, let's go quickly then."
"Okay, sir."
……
Yan Fu
The carriage stopped, and there was still a big battle like last time. The servants were watching at the door, and when Qingli got off the carriage, Yucai rushed up, took Qingli's hand, and raised her chin at Liuguang, "Haha, Liuguang Sister, I am the fastest this time!"
"Yes yes yes, you are the fastest, no one will compete with you." Liu Guang smiled helplessly, a little doting, she really regarded Yucai as her younger sister.
Qingli looked at Yucai playing treasures, and the exhaustion after the exam was reduced a lot. He smiled and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, let's go see grandma and mother."
"Yes, young master." Yucai replied briskly, and walked towards Shouningju with Qingli on her arm.
……
Shou Ning Ju
In March of Yangchun, peaches and plums are fragrant.Phalaenopsis, dendrobium, hyacinth, tulip, iris, manjusri, lily pads, begonias, geraniums, poppies, all competing for beauty.
Qingli strolled into the house, "Grandmother, mother, Qingli is back." Qingli bowed respectfully.
When the old lady saw Qingli, her smiling face became even more joyful, "Qingli is here, come and sit here with grandma, I just told your mother about you." The old lady waved to Qingli as she spoke, signaling Clear away from the past.Princess Anhe also looked at Qingli with a gentle smile.
Qingli walked over with a smile and sat between An He and the old lady. Everyone in the Yan Mansion attached great importance to this test. It's a done deal.
"Ah Li, how was the test this time? Did the topic go well?" Princess Anhe asked with concern, and the old lady also looked at him expectantly.
Qing Li smiled and said, "Well, the topic is more formal, and the policy theory is also about current affairs, so it's not too difficult."
"That's good," the old lady said with a smile, "My grandson thinks it's not difficult, but he's sure. Haha, I'm a Yan family, and I'm going to have two champions in one school, and I'm going to be in power at the same time, haha." The old lady was very happy happy.
Qingli smiled and didn't say a word. The scoring is too subjective for this kind of policy theory, and Qingli dare not say that he will definitely win.
……
It was the same dinner, but Aunt Su restrained herself a lot, Yan Luoshu still liked to be close to Qingli as always, and Yan Xiang only asked a few questions about the exam, as if she didn't want to put pressure on Qingli.All in all, the dinner was so peaceful and peaceful.
Back at Chang'an Pavilion, the maids waited for Qingli to wash up, and then retreated.The entire Chang'an Pavilion is quiet and quiet.
Qingli walked to the window, pushed open the carved window, and the white moonlight poured down. Today is March [-]th, and the moon is still full.Qingli looked at the bright moon, his father said that the situation at the border is very optimistic, does that mean that Yunqi will come back soon, seven years, never separated from Yunqi for so long, Yunqi, come back soon.

border.
The spring in the northwest is still lonely and cold, the north wind is mixed with sand and dust, and there is only a bright moon in the sky, which is bright and dust-free, cool and clear.
Chu Yunqi stood alone outside the tent, under the cold moonlight, his figure was tall and handsome, his face was more stern and less immature than when he was in the capital.Yun Qi looked at the moon, it's seventeen today, Ah Li's examination should be over, Yun Qi lowered his head, he seemed to have missed a very important moment for Ah Li, in a few days the results of the examination will come out, it will be the palace examination, then , The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day, but it is a pity that I am at the border, far away from him.
Ah Li, wait for me, let's see Chang'an flowers together...
