Lost and Regained

servants, drying clothes and debris in the courtyard.

Looking from afar, there were many boxes in the yard, and servants were checking each piece with booklets.

These servants Gao Yue didn't know all of them, and they were newly selected and appointed by the palace.

Everyone has a certain identity and background, and the family does not have a certain status, so it is absolutely impossible to serve the Emperor's bloodline, so everyone here cannot be underestimated.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but where Gao Yue sat, you could see the servants working.

Did An Zi arrange it to prevent Gao Yue from being too bored?

The servants were drying some clothes in the yard.

Seeing Gao Yue looking at the servant, Anzi said, "Oh, Lord Zong, do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Yes", just a gentle sentence, Gao Yue did not respond directly, and he did not comment.

An Zi kept looking at Gao Yue, looking at his eyes, and paying attention to his expression. Gao Yue could not escape her eyes with any movement.

She knew that Gao Yue didn't want to go there, didn't want to have any contact with other people, didn't want to get along with others, just wanted to wrap herself up.

‘Do you want to isolate yourself from the world? Is that okay?’ An Zi obviously didn’t want Gao Yue to calm down.

She held Gao Yue's arm with her hands and said, "Oh, let Cui'er help you walk around. It's not good for her health. She also needs to live a little and walk around."

I don’t know if Gao Yue was too weak or An Zi too strong Kong Wu, but she saw her exerting a little force, Gao Yue stood up by her.

It may not be said to be supported, it should be said to be lifted from the stacked chair.

Half supported and half lifted, as if he was being held hostage, Anzi accompanied Gao Yue to the courtyard.

When a group of servants saw the two of them, they hurriedly gathered around and saluted: "God of the Lord Zong, and I will be at the Lord General."

Anzi nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Zong comes here to check it out, everyone will be on the same page."

The clothes were dried in the yard. These clothes were made of silk and gold. You can tell that they were Gao Yue's clothes based on the material, but all the clothes had pinholes.

Gao Yue didn't want to see these, but An Zi didn't let him go and pulled him and said, "These are all your clothes for your Zongzhu. Look."

Gao Yue did not respond, and it was obvious that he was trying to control his emotions.

An Zi smiled slightly and explained to Gao Yue: "Oh, Lord Zong, your current identity is not suitable for wearing yellow pills."

An Zi looked at it, and Gao Yue's expression moved when he heard it.

Anzi knew that 'Gao Yue's heart was stabbed', and her heart was smiling.

"Oh, the new clothes have not been made yet. I will take the initiative to remove the thread without authorization, so that it will be fine. Isn't it? Lord Zong." An Zi was clearly snickering in his heart, but his tone was pretending to be sincere.

‘Cui'er is right. With her current identity, wearing yellow pills is a death sentence’, Gao Yue knew very well and was speechless.

When Anzi saw Gao Yue calm down, he thought to himself: "It depends on how long you can hold on, I will torture you well."

"Sir, these objects were soaked by the heavy rain that day. They have been registered and are now dried and sorted out." An Zi let go of Gao Yue's hand and said as she walked forward.

Anzi walked towards the drying object and picked up a small bell with silk thread tied.

She turned her back to Gao Yue, took out a piece of brocade from her sleeve, turned around and walked back.

"Sir Zong, look at this little bell as your childhood toy!" An Zi smiled with a sweet smile, and handed Gao Yue a bell.

‘Sister Mako?’, Gao Yue thought about it and immediately realized that it was an illusion at this moment.

‘Ah! This bell...is still there. Gao Yue's heartbeat accelerated. He stretched out his hands and caught the small bell from An Zi's hand.

This scene, this smile is like that day...

Just like when Sister Mako handed this little bell to Gao Yue on that day.

Anzi saw a happy expression in Gao Yue's eyes.

This little bell is made of real gold and is very delicate, about the size of a pigeon egg.

The bell is wrapped with a round jasper inlaid with gold.

It may not be jasper, but its color is green and inlaid with gold, so it must be jade.

When shaking, the gold inlaid with jasper collided with the inner wall of the golden bell, making a crisp sound "ding, ding".

This golden bell is tied with silk thread, and it is indeed a delicate gadget.

"I didn't expect this golden bell to be there." Gao Yue held it in his hand, very happy and even a little excited.

Anzi saw it and said in his heart: "Hmph, see how long you are happy."

There was no trace of displeasure on her face, and she always had a smile.

Anzi didn't know how important this golden bell was to Gao Yue.

Seeing this golden bell, Gao Yue's heart was so warm, and the pain in his heart was melting.

His heart suddenly returned to that day:

"Sister Shunzi, I'll give this to you."

"Brother Gao Yue, what gift did you prepare for Shunzi?" Shunzi's heart was on Gao Yue.

Gao Yue took out the golden bell that he had been following him and was wearing close to him as a gift.

Shunzi took it happily, "I like it so much! What is this?"

"The little bell that ensures peace will make Shunzi happy." Gao Yue was happy when he saw Shunzi, and he also smiled.

The scene of that day is vivid in my mind

...

In Datong 2005, this winter was particularly cold, and the ginkgo trees in the courtyard had already left with yellow leaves.

Next to the stove in the inner courtyard of the palace, a young man and a little girl were sitting opposite each other, and a faint fragrance emanated from the girl's body.

"Does Brother Gao Yue really want to leave? When will you be back?" Shunzi's voice was filled with sadness.

"My father wants to go back to Heisei Kyo to recuperate, I want to follow my father." Gao Yue's voice was filled with concern for his father.

"Will Brother Gao Yue forget Shunzi?" Shunzi was reluctant to leave in his voice.

"Don't worry, sister Shunzi, I will come back when my father recovers from illness." Gao Yue answered earnestly.

When we met, we were far away, and Shunzi couldn't help crying.

"Don't cry, don't you cry, Sister Shunzi's father, don't you go to Heianjing with us?" Gao Yue said comfortingly.

"Well, Shunzi doesn't cry, don't cry..." Shunzi tried hard to calm himself down.

"Will Shunzi marry Brother Gao Yue to become the queen in the future?" Gao Yue asked Shunzi very seriously.

"Want to be the queen?" Shunzi asked shyly.

Since childhood, most of them have been yelling to marry Shunzi, who is Gao Yue's brother. At this moment, he heard Gao Yue's words and his face was flushed.

"Does Shunzi want to be the queen? Or do you want to marry Brother Gao Yue?" Gao Yue's face turned a little red.

With separation coming soon, Gao Yue wanted to know Shunzi's intentions and wanted to get Shunzi a conclusive reply, so he opened his heart without reservation and expressed his love.

"Marry Brother Gao Yue and be the queen of Brother Gao Yue." Shunzi's voice was very small, and she lowered her head shyly.

"A word is determined!" Although Shunzi was very shy, Gao Yue heard her answer very clearly, and Gao Yue excitedly confirmed again.

"Yes!" Shunzi also confirmed Gao Yue again.

Gao Yue didn't know what words to express, but at this moment he only gave Shunzi a gentle and powerful hug in response.

A voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the time for farewell has come. Fujiwara Toshiki, you must return home with your little daughter Shunko."

"Brother Gao Yue, you must come back. Take this Ruyi bell by your side to ensure safety."

...

On the fourth day of the December 19th, Gao Yue and the Emperor of Pingcheng took a double boat to Heianjing. He held the token given back by Shunzi - the Ruyi Bell!

This golden bell was given to Shunzi that day, and Shunzi sent it back to Gaoyue.

"Ding, ding, ding, this bell will remind you, remember to come back and marry me." Shunzi's words were still in his ears.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the wind blew against Gao Yue's clothes and his hair, flowing and rippling.

The court officials and people who came to see each other off were all amazed!

Only one old man sighed and shook his head, "Squatting in the prince, this title is extremely supreme. I'm afraid that the name is used too much, which is a bad omen!"

"Shunzi, I will definitely come back to marry you!" Gao Yue stood at the bow of the boat and silently made a promise.

Gao Yue has always carried this golden bell with him and placed next to his pillow at night.

Until…the change of medicine, early that morning…

The guards who rushed into the dormitory forced everyone to the yard, and the golden bell was left by the pillow, but they disappeared afterwards.

Unexpectedly, the golden bell was lost and regained, how could Gao Yue not be excited?

"Never lose it anymore", Gao Yue tightly held the golden bell tightly in his hand.
