At dusk, at the mouth of the alley, snow and rain are mixed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A depressed figure sat on the steps in front of a certain house, and a light layer of white had fallen on his head unconsciously. He hung his head feebly, his hands clasped. After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, and his empty eyes showed a little tiredness and a full of confusion.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a woman came out of it, obviously startled by the stranger sitting at the door of her house, she was stunned for a moment, and then unceremoniously crossed her waist, pointed at the other person's back, and scolded: "Where did you come from, bum! Why are you sitting at my door? Hurry up and go away!"
After saying that, she looked at this person carefully. Although the woman looked depressed when she saw this strange man, he was richly dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and did not seem to look like a "vagabond" as she called it. But seeing that the other party not only did not get up after listening to her words, but also did not even turn his head, and still sat steadily, the woman was still angry, and she shouted even more unceremoniously: "Why are you so thick-skinned? If you don't get up again, I will report to the official!"
At this time, Yu Jin was holding an oil-paper umbrella and trotting from afar, her face anxious. She stopped at the woman's door, breathlessly stroking her chest. Then she moved the umbrella to Gu Mo's head to protect him from the rain and snow, and at the same time, she raised her head to the woman and said, "What are you shouting! This is my son-in-law! What's wrong with your door, isn't your door in Dongcheng?"
When the woman saw that Yu Jin was menacing, she shut her mouth stupidly. She slanted Yu Jin and Gu Mo fiercely, snorted coldly and stepped back, closing the door with a loud bang.
Only then did Yu Jin hurriedly look at Gu Moβshe couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Gu Mo's gloomy face and the silence was terrifying.
"Second son, we've been looking for you for a long time - you're looking for the second wife, so tell us and let everyone look for it together, it's snow and rain, you ......"
Gu Mo looked at Yu Jin slowly, Yu Jin couldn't spit out another word for some reason, and the expression on his face froze instantly.
Gu Mo was expressionless, and said in a cold tone: "What else have you not told me, say." β
Yu Jin hesitated to dodge Gu Mo's eyes: "Second son......"
"Say!" Gu Mo suddenly roared, his eyes were as cold as frost, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.
Yu Jin has been doing things by Gu Mo's side for so many years, and she has never seen him so angry, and her whole person was shocked by his voice.
She lowered her eyes and said helplessly: "Second son, it was the people in the palace who took the second wife away, and the moon was from the palace." β
Gu Mo was stunned, stood up, and stared at Yu Jin's eyes full of doubts: "Why didn't you say it? Why? Yu Jin, what is the matter, you even have to hide it from me?"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked away without looking back, leaving only Yu Jin with an indifferent back. Yu Jin's hand holding an umbrella for Gu Mo was still stagnant in mid-air, her hair had been wet with rain and snow, and the coolness seeped into her heart from the top of her head.
Gu Mo didn't even care about the sky, and rode straight to the palace. After Loulan Zhen announced to the public that Gu Mo was his brother-in-law, Gu Mo generally had no difficulty in entering and leaving the palace, but this time, he was stopped outside the palace by the guards.
Gu Mo was just about to enter through the side door of the side hall, only to see two palace guards rushing in front of him with lightning speed, reaching out to intercept him.
Gu Mo looked coldly at the two palace guards who were blocking him, and there was an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart that became more and more intense: "What are you doing here?"
The palace guard said respectfully: "Recently, there is a rule in the palace that there must be a pass order to enter and exit the palace, please go back to this prince." β
Gu Mo was stunned and said, "I am the righteous brother of His Royal Highness. β
The two palace guards looked at each other, and one of them said in a tough tone: "As long as there is no pass order, you are not allowed to enter or leave the palace, so please go back." β
Gu Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he looked into the palace, his eyes were deep. The snowflakes fell on his slightly upturned face, and he didn't feel cold, only wooden.
What did that splendid palace bring him?
Seeing that Gu Mo had no intention of retreating, the palace guard was about to speak again to dissuade him, but suddenly saw Gu Mo resolutely turn around, get on the horse, and leave.
It's already night, Dongcheng has recently imposed a curfew, the streets and alleys are sparsely populated, and the sound of horses' hooves is echoing on the bluestone pavement, cold and lonely
========================================
In the Chenghuan Palace, the lights are bright, the fragrance is overflowing, the fire is booming, and the room is sweet.
Gu Wanyan sat in this strange palace, holding a pure gold hand-warming soup woman in her hand, but people couldn't feel a trace of warmth, and they felt cold all over their bodies.
She looked numbly at the strange palace maids shuttling in front of her, all of them were silent, and they were all cautiously busyβshe felt an indescribable bitterness and loneliness in her heart.
This is her home, and at this moment, she can't believe it.
Just thinking about it, Lanyue pushed the door in, and walked straight to Gu Wanyan's side to report: "Princess Cong, the second son of the Gu Mansion came just now, but ...... However, the palace guard did not let him in, and he was already gone. β
Gu Wanyan was stunned, nodded calmly, and then closed her eyes tiredly.
Lanyue looked at Gu Wanyan and didn't say anything, just turned her head and instructed the other palace maids to prepare to help the princess bathe and sleep.
After listening to Lan Yue's words, Gu Wanyan suddenly opened her eyes again, she stared straight ahead with her eyes, and said without a trace of emotion: "Don't worry-I want to see the king." β
The palace maids have been in the palace for a long time, they are all people with vision, they listened to Gu Wanyan's words, how could they not feel the bad mood revealed in Gu Wanyan's words, they were afraid that they would not serve well-so a room of palace maids suddenly knelt down in unison, and all of them bowed their heads deeply, looking like they were waiting for their hair to fall.
Gu Wanyan glanced at them lightly, and there was no longer too much feeling in her heart. She looked at Lanyue again, Lanyue nodded knowingly, and immediately got up to find the king.
After a while, Loulan really appeared, breaking the strange silence in the Chenghuan Palace.
"See His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the King is blessed. β
Lou Lanzhen smiled: "Get up." β
Then Gonggong Yuan, who was behind Loulan Zhen, bowed down respectfully to Gu Wanyan: "Slave, see Princess Cong." β
Gu Wanyan saw Lou Lanzhen coming, and slowly stood up from the chair, but she didn't salute, just looked at Lou Lanzhen stubbornly.
Loulan is really not annoyed. He waved his hand lightly without looking back, and then Gonggong Yuan immediately led the people in the room to retreat.
There were only the two of them left in the hall, and Gu Wanyan was still silent with a calm face, unable to see her emotions.
Lou Lanzhen paced two steps in the room leisurely, and after looking at it casually, he seemed to remember some of the past, so he smiled at Gu Wanyan and said: "This Chenghuan Hall was prepared for you by your father, you lived here when you were born, and then you left, this place has been empty, and my father does not allow anyone to live." β
Gu Wanyan didn't speak, and Lou Lanzhen said again: "At that time, you were only so young, and I came to see you." β
As he spoke, he gestured his hand in the air to the size of a baby and smiled to himself.
