63 Overboard (
After announcing the ownership to the world, the crown prince was in a flurry mood, and he refused to let go, so he walked directly into the koala hug posture and walked along the flow of people with the squeamish bag in his arms. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is embracing so unscrupulously, in the bustling crowd, not to mention more dazzling eyes.
Zhan Jingyan is tall and long-legged and fast-paced, and the two of them look here and there all the way, amusing and chatting. After about half an hour, he finally came to a tall wall. It was impermeable, and there was only one entrance in the southeast corner, which was no more than two people in parallel, and there were several red logs blocking the perimeter. A large sign was erected in an obvious place, clearly engraved with the words "Tourists Stop".
Zhang Ruo was willing to hang on him, without any strength, comfortable and comfortable, constantly swaying his two little thin legs. It wasn't until Zhan Jingyan's footsteps stopped that she stared at the dazzling sunlight and raised her head, looked around, and said with some doubts.
"It's ...... Don't you let you in?" and muttered to himself: "But it's so strange, since it's a scenic spot, why don't you let people visit the things inside?"
In fact, there was no need for Zhan Jingyan to speak, the tour guide with a megaphone not far away had already solved her confusion by the way.
"This is the gate of the Triumphal Palace, and further down is the Imperial Palace, which is only allowed to be visited by 500 visitors a day for the sake of the conservation of the monuments. If you have a pass, you can enter from the entrance of the southeast corner, but other visitors are free to move around the neighborhood and be safe. ”
"500 is too little......
"It's too far to come here, and it's just for us to turn around the stall?"
……
Many tourists complain, but there is no other way.
Zhang Ruoyuan listened to the words of the tour guide and was silent, but his eyes were a little darker.
She wrote her loss on her face, and her mind didn't need to guess at all. Zhan Jingyan pinched her face and said with a smile: "Want to go?"
Zhang Ruoyuan nodded: "I want to go." ”
Revisiting the old place, she wanted to go back to the palace where they had lived for three years. There is no special reason, just pure, I want to see how much grass and trees, bricks and tiles in the East Palace are left.
The ponds, the soil, the air, and even the dust should all feel familiar......
Her eyes were staring straight at the narrow opening, eager to put on her wings and fly in. Such a childish appearance made Zhan Jingyan laugh. Fortunately, he had prepared early, otherwise he wouldn't have known what to do when he looked at her dejected appearance.
"Then go. ”
Zhan Jingyan kissed the tip of her nose, and was satisfied to see that her eyes suddenly burst into light. Under Zhang Ruoyuan's adoring eyes, he lifted her up. Then he strode straight to the crossing. Under the envious gaze of everyone, the red pass was displayed, and the path was generously crossed.
The posture of leisurely strolling, in the eyes of a large group of tourists who are scorching in the sun and out of reach, is simply not too arrogant.
Entering the door, the first thing that appears in front of you is the continuous white masonry stone carving, and the middle hundreds of stone steps are soaring, undulating like a dragon. In the middle stands the immeasurable hall of participation in politics.
Behind the Wuliang Hall is the Qinghe Palace, the Taiji Palace, and then the East Palace located on the east side of the main hall. The carved mural columns, the goose horns hook the eaves, and the circular corridor, each of which is very familiar, this is the place where she has lived for three years.
Coming down from Zhan Jingyan's arms, Zhang Ruoyuan walked in slowly, his eyes lingering on every scene. From the main hall to her Shaoqing Garden, little by little it was carved into my mind, and finally came to Taiyuan Pool.
Taiyuan Pond is located in an inconspicuous corner of the East Palace, in the middle of nowhere, and not many people go inside. Only a couple of parents and a small child were resting on the side, and the little boy was very mischievous, holding a slingshot in his hand, and was using marbles to shoot the dense emerald green fruits on the tree.
Returning to the familiar place, looking at the sparkling pool water in the sun, like a crystal green pool, Zhang Ruoyuan looked in a trance.
It was a Lantern Festival not long after the wedding, and she got up early in the morning to greet her mother, and specially turned out the pair of white jade carved silk bracelets from the makeup box and put them on. However, it was not her who was the protagonist that day.
Before I went in, I heard a sweet and delicate laugh, soft and glutinous. She couldn't help but stop at the door and peek in. I saw a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her beauty was outstanding. is accompanied by the queen mother's side and talking affectionately, a "aunt", very close.
She was puzzled in her heart, and looked up at Mama Gu beside her. Mama Gu remained silent, took a step forward and leaned closer to her ear, lowered her voice and whispered.
"It's Miss Gu Jiayan of Beiling, Lord Muqing. Her mother, Princess Mubei, and the queen were originally cousins, and they had a very close personal relationship when they were young. After leaving the cabinet, because the emperor and King Mubei were brothers, the two were even better than when they were not married.
This Miss Gu was named the county lord by the emperor as soon as she was born, and she was basically raised under the queen's knees before the age of five. ”
"Before that...... Why haven't you seen ......?"
Such a wonderful person, if she has seen it, she should not be impressed.
"The prince of Mubei is indifferent by nature, and his family lives in seclusion in Beiling, and does not enter Beijing on non-major festivals. This time it should be the prince's wedding, and the queen specially summoned Mubeiwang's family into the palace to reminisce. ”
Before the age of five, he was basically raised under the knee of the queen mother, which is not the same as the little green plum of His Royal Highness......
Some are not tasteful, not obvious on her face, she walked in with a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, asked her mother, and received a look at her.
She looked up and smiled playfully at the girl. Unlike her own measured smile, her smile is like her favorite pastry, so sweet that people can't feel disgusted from the heart.
"This is the new sister-in-law?"
After speaking, he stared at her and continued to look, carefully and carefully, and looked at it for a while.
It's strange that she doesn't feel uncomfortable when she is being looked at like this. It's just that those eyes are too clear and bright, and when they look at you, they are frank and open.
"Brother Yan has such a good eye. ”
At that time, her attention was not on the phrase "good vision", but on the title of "Brother Yan". Before she could say a few perfunctory words, a familiar voice sounded behind her, but it was not for her.
"That's natural, and I should pick a good man for you when I go back. ”
His tone was relaxed, without the slightest hint of displeasure or concern. You don't have to look back to imagine it. At this moment, the expression on his face must be soft.
The girl didn't follow herself, and whispered to the queen mother: "Auntie, look, brother Yan bullied me!"
Brother Yan?
It seems that there is a lot of affection......
She was uncomfortable, and after finishing lunch with her mother, she casually found an excuse and went back to the East Palace.
Sitting on the edge of the Taiyuan Pool, he took off the jade bracelet on his left hand, and played with it unconsciously, but he couldn't control the recollection in his head, and the conversation he overheard on the way back was repeated.
"Lord Muqing is so beautiful and has a good personality, look at her has only been here for less than half a day, and she has made the queen so happy, and she has used a lot more lunch than usual!"
"That is, the prince of Mubei has won the trust of the emperor, and the princess is the handkerchief of the queen's mother. I heard that when the county lord Muqing was three years old, she lived in the palace for a while, and the prince was busy with schoolwork at that time, but he often found time to accompany her in his busy schedule. ”
"No wonder the prince just now instructed Hecui and them to make several special sweets......
She couldn't suppress the sourness in her stomach, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
Zhaoshui said cautiously beside him: "Niangniang, just now the head of the house sent someone to ask, saying that His Royal Highness was preparing to leave the palace, and asked if you want to go together." ”
She couldn't control her sneer, he hadn't slept well for a long time, and now he actually had time to leave the palace, and he really took time out of his busy schedule to play!
"When I returned to the prince, he said that I was not feeling well and would not go. ”
Zhan Xi was busy persuading: "Niangniang, Your Highness is waiting for you, you just don't go, don't you...... It's not good......"
Zhaoshui hurriedly said: "That's it, don't you like to go out the most, why don't you go out of the palace if it's rare!"
She thought for a moment, and forced down the sourness in her heart.
Also, why don't you go, her husband, her territory, she won't go if she's afraid. Hiding here and feeling sorry for herself, it's not her style to let those two people be merry and happy!
When the ideological struggle was over, she stood up and prepared to dress up and declare her sovereignty. But the moment she got up, the smooth white jade slipped out of her fingers without paying attention. When she came back to her senses, the white jade bracelet had already fallen into the Taiyuan Pool, and after a small ripple, it disappeared completely.
What followed was a chaotic diving salvage, and for a whole afternoon, nothing was caught.
After all this twist and turn, let alone going out to play, even if you don't have the heart to speak.
In the evening, he came back from outside the palace in the costume of a noble son, with a handsome silhouette, relaxed eyebrows and eyes, a very happy expression, and two chic and delicate lanterns in his hands.
She was even more dissatisfied, so she simply ignored him, and just asked him if he had eaten.
After washing, he noticed something, and lay on the couch staring at her, not even bothering to cover up with a book.
She ignored it, only staring at the two lanterns with a lotus pattern, thinking of him and another person talking and laughing, talking and laughing and choosing lanterns, her chest was blocked.
I was not angry in my heart, he asked something, and she hastily responded with a few words, obviously refusing to talk.
He stared at her for a long time, his eyes as deep as the starry sky. After a while, he smiled and coaxed her: "Didn't you say you didn't want to go, what kind of temperament does this make?"
As he spoke, he brought the lantern to her and spoke in a soft tone. "I bought it for you, do you like it?"
She was "specially" pleased, and as soon as she eased her look, she heard the sentence he added: "The narration is picky." ”
Suddenly choked in his throat.
Knowing that His Royal Highness loves Gu Shuqing like a brother. But even if she was clear, she still cared for that undisguised closeness, very much.
He made her feel that her pillow wife was not as important as that sister.
Although, he and Gu Shuqing grew up together. And she was only married for a short time.
This realization made her feel terrible, and she politely pulled the corners of her mouth: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
After hearing this, he frowned: "You don't like it?"
She shook her head and didn't say anything more.
He has never been good at talking, so he took a sip of tea and spoke for a long time: "I heard that you transferred a lot of people to Taiyuanchi in the afternoon, what did you fall on?"
If she doesn't mention this, she will be full of grievances. I only felt that he knew that he had dropped something, and he didn't know how to come to inquire, so he played with his good sister for an afternoon.
She looked at her coldly, obviously not wanting to say more.
"It's just a pair of earrings, it's not worth worrying about Your Highness. ”
She didn't want to mention it, and he didn't bother to ask more. The salvage of the bracelet was put on hold, and no one mentioned it again.
Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Ruoyuan's mouth. After only a month of marriage, I began to be jealous, where did I not like it. But he always deceives himself and keeps convincing himself that he hates a person he obviously likes. has been saying something wrong like this for three whole years, and I really don't know how she did it now.
And he is used to her doing this.
Thinking of her hypocritical, Zhang Ruoyuan regretted every minute. Unconsciously she opened her legs and walked towards the edge of the pool,
She had mixed feelings about the bracelet, and it wasn't just a pity. To this day, she still remembers the blessings the Queen Mother gave her when she brought the bracelet to her. One jade knot is concentric, and the other is old and white.
And now, the jade knot is cold and cold, and it sinks alone at the bottom of the pool, and no one cares. It's like she can't rewrite her wayward past, firmly engraved in her memories, lingering. It's as if nothing can be done but sigh.
"Don't go inside, it's mossy and slippery. ”
Zhan Jingyan immediately grabbed and didn't let her go any further.
When she came back to her senses, she noticed that under her feet, the smooth bluestone slabs were already covered with green moss, completely obscuring the original color, thick and damp, and could slip at any time.
But she was more afraid of regret than danger.
It was her jade knot, and she wanted to take it back and leave no regrets.
"I'll be careful. ”
She stubbornly walked forward, thinking about what method to use not to alarm others and fish the jade bracelet from the bottom of the pool.
It is definitely not possible to jump like this, first of all, she can't swim, and secondly, even if she can swim, she probably won't be able to find it for a while. At the beginning, almost half of the East Palace's people were dispatched to fish for an afternoon, but they couldn't find it. Now, after so many years, it must be covered tightly with mud and grass.
She was so preoccupied with how to retrieve the bracelet that she didn't pay attention to the path under her feet.
The little boy on the other side shot half a bag of marbles and missed a single one, so he was inevitably discouraged and threw out the things in his hand in a rage to vent his anger. Suddenly, dense marbles rolled out in all directions, centered under his feet.
Zhan Jingyan was on high alert to protect her, not noticing the surrounding situation. When you find out that the situation is not right, it is too late. Zhang Ruoyuan stepped on a marble on the sole of his shoe, and his body fell into the pool uncontrollably. He subconsciously reached out to pull it, but the moss on the stone slab was too slippery to stop the force of the fall.
But in the blink of an eye, the two fell into the turquoise lake together...... 166 Reading Network
