Sadness
Since Ze Xun left the court in the afternoon, Xianyue sat on the stone bench alone for several hours. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info politely rejected the wishes of the Third Highness, she always felt that her heart was like a duckweed wandering on the water, because she couldn't sink or get out of the shore, so she was very impetuous.
Lonely Ze Xun Yushu is gentle and elegant, as if she has always been sure that she will like it......
The twilight is deep and the breeze is getting cooler. Xianyue sat quietly in the court and suddenly felt a little cold, so she wanted to stand up straight, not wanting to suddenly lose half of her strength. She sighed softly, bent down in frustration, and hammered her legs, which were already numb with cold.
After a long time, she slowly straightened up, and then walked towards the courtyard gate outside the frame. Outside the court, the delicately styled Bifang bronze lamps have been lit at some point, and the clusters of fire candles are glowing with a soft shimmer.
Xianyue looked at the excited little flames in a daze, and suddenly realized something.
When she returned home this time, she probably wouldn't let her come again in the future. And this majestic palace standing proudly on the east side of the Cold Silent City may also be the last time she stays.
Xianyue's calm gaze suddenly revealed a clear black and white, but her heart suddenly felt a little stuffy, as if she felt that she had lost something in this inexplicable surging emotion.
At three o'clock, the Xiaguang Hall was already bright, and the bronze Pixiu horn bells outside the corridor also jingled with the wind, and the neatly dressed palace people were obediently waiting at the door to wait for the summons inside.
Under the big magnolia tree on the southeast side of the main hall, Xianyue paused and settled his mind before stepping forward.
The female official who was guarding the white marble corridor outside the hall saw someone approaching in the court, so she fixed her eyes and found that it was Miss Nalan Biao, who had rarely walked around in the Chonghua Palace recently.
Her eyebrows relaxed, a gentle smile suddenly rose on her lips, and she stepped down the stone steps sideways to greet her, "Miss Biao, you're here!"
Xianyue nodded and smiled, "Aunt Suichun." ”
Suichun, who is careful, has always liked this quiet and indisputable cousin, and after taking her hand affectionately, he turned around and took her to the hall, "Niangniang has just come back from the Buddhist hall after chanting, and dinner has just been served, do you want to use some with it?"
"Well, that's going to bother my aunt. ”
"Good boy, what's the bother!"
Sui Chun introduced Xianyue into the hall, nodded knowingly with Banxia, and quietly retreated. Mu Manyan naturally noticed Xianyue's arrival, she gently put down the spoon, raised her hand and motioned for Xianyue to come over. Xu has just returned from the Buddhist hall, and her clothes today are very simple, with only a few plain Tibetan silver hairpins lined with a chic low bun. But her expression at the moment was extremely gentle, and her demeanor was not half covered by the simple clothes of this body.
Banxia led Xianyue to the rosewood bench on the left side of the main seat, and Yingdong, who was waiting on the side, had already added a pair of elegant-looking celadon bowls and chopsticks to her. Xianyue sat down with her head down, and Mu Manyan shook it up with a pair of warm and smooth soft hairs.
"I heard that you have been painting and reluctant to go out these days, so my aunt did not call anyone to let you come. ”
Xianyue's beautiful eyes suddenly felt a little confused, but in an instant, she came back to her senses and raised her eyes and said, "Auntie, in fact, I came here tonight because I have something to say to you." ”
"Silly boy, if you have anything to say, just say it. ”
Although it was a very gentle tone, the look in Mu Manyan's words was slightly restrained, and she raised her hand and sent away the palace people who were waiting in the hall.
The movements of the palace people were also very neat, and when the silver-plated palace door was closed again, the sound of money sounded again.
"Auntie, you know, Zemin has loved all kinds of martial arts since he was a child, especially boxing and marksmanship. But now the prince in the palace teaches more literature than martial arts, and what he urges him to learn all day long is literature, science, calligraphy and painting. Zemin had never been interested in this, but he was unable to devote himself to martial arts because of the need to deal with them. I have come here to ask you to consider whether you can fulfill his long-held wish......"
Mu Manyan smiled while listening and served a bowl of warm bird's nest white fungus soup for Xianyue, "You are sisters and brothers, and I have only heard Suichun say that the two of you have made some conflicts in the past few days, so it seems that it is another joke." ”
Seeing her lead the topic, Xianyue couldn't help but chase after her in confusion, "Auntie?"
Looking at the slightly eager look of the beautiful girl in front of her, Mu Manyan sighed lightly and put down the porcelain bowl in her hand, and finally said with a slightly helpless smile, "I naturally know how talented he is, but I can't let him practice here in a grand manner......"
When Xianyue heard this, her heart suddenly cooled, and the whole person was suddenly half unsure.
The peaceful jasmine fragrance in the hall became stronger, but Mu Manyan saw Xianyue's depressed expression in her eyes, she couldn't bear it in her heart, and then gently handed the warm soup that had just been served in front of her eyes. I didn't want to do it for the next second, but the girl with a stunned face was still unwilling to speak again, "Auntie, can I know why?"
Looking at the girl's resolute eyes like ice and snow, the middle-aged beauty with elegant clothes finally sighed softly, and her expression became solemn unconsciously, "The more calm and waveless the solemnity, the farther it is from the pure and simple that the world seems." It is true that children are outstanding as parents' first wish, but now being a prince of inaction is the best choice for Zemin to exist at the moment......"
Xianyue's brows were deeply locked, and there were many raw or familiar faces in her mind for a while, the arrogant eldest princess, the dignified and gentle Empress Zhuang Yi, and the powerful people of the family......
Who is the coercion that makes Zemin, who has always been reckless and simple, unable to do what he wants?
Although Zemin has loved to play since she was a child, and she has to cause some trouble from time to time, she has grown up with her for so many years, and she is no different from her own brother in her heart. Her thoughts turned back and forth, and Xianyue's heart was even more uncomfortable, and she was about to open her mouth to ask her aunt, but there was a knock outside the palace door.
But suddenly, Banxia's calm voice also came in.
"Niangniang, the Fourth and Fifth Highnesses have come to see you. ”
Looking at Xianyue beside her, who looked panicked, Mu Manyan also frowned lightly and said, "Let them come in." ”
In the light of the calcium carbide fire, Xianyue suddenly stood up, subconsciously took a few steps back, and bowed to Mu Manyan on the side and whispered, "Auntie, I want to retire first." ”
"Then let's go. ”
Seeing Xianyue, who had always acted calmly and flawlessly, looked like a child who had done something wrong at this time, Mu Manyan's heart was a little unbearable. is steady, well-behaved, gentle and sensible, she is just a child who has not been deeply involved in the world, is the thousands of advice of that day too heavy for her......
With Concubine Jinde's promise, the door of the palace was slowly pushed open. Xianyue worriedly picked up the Molan shawl that had fallen to the ground, and hid behind the inconspicuous cloud pattern bronze pillar on the side, planning to wait for one of his seats to sit before quietly leaving. I didn't want Zemin's eyes to be sharp, so I casually glanced sideways and saw her who was silent and speechless by the corner of the hall.
"Sister Yue, why are you here?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xianyue had no choice but to step out slowly, and pretended to be calm and said, "I just came to the neighborhood to look for something, and now I'll go back." ”
Zemin also forgot to say hello to Mu Manyan for a while, and walked towards Xianyue with a concerned expression after turning around a few steps, "I went to look for you a few days ago, and they all said that you were sick, and they didn't let me see you!"
Xianyue nodded indifferently, but she didn't dare to look at the figure of the stars holding the moon not far away.
"Are you feeling better today?, why are your hands still so cold?"
As Zemin spoke, he grabbed Xianyue's hand hidden under his wide sleeve. They have been playing together since they were children, in fact, this is nothing, but now that there are many people in the hall, Xianyue naturally pulled his hand away in a hurry.
"Sister Yue, why are you weird today?" Ze Min was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Mu Manyan who was sitting in the main seat suspiciously, "Mother, could it be that you scolded her?"
"Yue'er has always been more well-behaved and sensible than you, how can the mother concubine have a reason to scold her?" Mu Manyan covered her sleeves and chuckled, then got up and slowly walked to the side of the corner of the hall.
Zemin looked back at Xianyue in disbelief, Xianyue was faintly anxious in her heart, so she squeezed out a relieved smile at him, "I'm fine, you can chat with your aunt." I have to go back, or the ink on the inkstone will dry......"
"Then be careful on the road, it has rained during the day, and the cobblestone road back is a little slippery. ”
Xianyue's heart suddenly warmed, nodded in response, and then took a few steps forward, and bowed to his aunt and Lin Ze who were a few steps away. The moment she got up, she couldn't help but set her eyes on Lonely Ze Xiu after all. I don't want him to look at her indifferently, as if he looks arrogant on weekdays, as if he has never met her before. Her heart suddenly ached, but she was afraid that someone would see the clue in the next moment, so she hurriedly turned around and walked outside the hall, but she didn't want to take a few steps behind her, but suddenly stretched out a pair of hands to stop her.
"By the way, Sister Yue, this hasn't been returned to you yet. Zemin stepped forward a few steps and put the small thing taken out of his sleeve into Xianyue's hand, "I wanted to give you this a few days ago, but I couldn't see you." ”
Flower ring! It's her jewel flower ring!
In an instant, Xianyue almost exhaled softly, but after a moment, she tried her best to hang her head and leave. After stepping down the stone steps outside the hall, her steps became faster and faster.
At this moment, it is obviously lost and regained, but why is it so uncomfortable in my heart......
She almost forgot that her bond with Lonely Blossom Xiu stemmed from this ring that meant a lot to her. After a few harmonious companions, she forgot that the only thing that held them between them was this ring!
The fragrance of osmanthus lingered all around, and the girl, leaning against the tree, hesitantly took the small snuffbox from her sleeve and held it tightly in her hand. Under the misty night, her bea-sized tears quickly slid down the beautiful eyelashes outlined by the ink line. The soft light of the Jinque Palace lamp under the eaves of the cloister makes her eyebrows dark and her complexion like snow, and her cheeks and movements are like fairies in a painting.
It's a pity that such a beautiful day is in one place, and no one has seen it after all.
