Chapter 3 Merlin Stone Bridge Burial Place
The Northern Qi Dynasty made King Yuan the first to be crowned king among the princes of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he still used the national surname "Yuan" as the title. It is well known that he is www.biquge.info favorite candidate for the crown prince of Northern Qi and is the most likely to succeed the prince of Northern Qi. And he was just in his early twenties, and he was so handsome that the eyes of most of the women present were focused on him, even Princess Nan Chenguo.
King Yuan and Princess Nanchen were almost at the intersection of the audience, but Su Qingluan on the stage was wandering out of the world. At this time, although she smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes didn't know where to look anymore, as if this lively banquet had nothing to do with her.
Subsequently, several envoys from small countries also went on to meet with the emperor, but they did not receive the same treatment as Northern Qi and other countries. Immediately after that, today's protagonists, the crown prince and the crown princess, stepped into the palace from outside the palace, and after bowing to the emperor, the queen and the queen mother on the stage, they were given a seat to accept everyone's congratulations.
There was a happy scene in the main hall, everyone left their seats and said auspicious words to each other, pushing cups and changing lamps, so comfortable.
"Luan'er, don't drink anymore, you'll get drunk when you're drinking. Seeing Su Qingluan drinking cup after cup, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, and her heart was full of distress.
"Imperial grandmother, let's let Luan'er get drunk this time!" Su Qingluan had a smile on his face, but there was water in his eyes.
"Alas-" The Queen Mother sighed, since that incident, this girl has not been happy for a day but has never shown too much emotion in front of people, and today's prince's wedding is a stimulus to her. "Well, someone will send you back. ”
Then the queen mother, the emperor and others withdrew from the banquet under the pretext that they were tired, leaving the young people to have fun. And without the emperor and others present, everyone also let go, and they got together to chat.
"Sister Huang. Su Qingluan looked up and saw that it was the protagonist of today's banquet - the crown prince and the crown princess came to toast with wine glasses in their hands.
The crown princess is the daughter of today's prime minister, and the song is tilted and the minister is the prince's teacher, the two can be regarded as growing up together, childhood sweethearts, and now the two are married, which can also be regarded as a good story.
"Prince, today the imperial sister wishes you to grow old together and give birth to a noble son early. Su Qingluan didn't wait for the two of them to speak, and drank the wine in the cup with his head up.
When the prince saw Su Qingluan's face turned red, he knew that she had drunk a lot of wine tonight, but he didn't stop her, "Sister Huang, tonight is my wedding, come, I'll drink with you." ”
The crown prince Su Qingsong sat beside Su Qingluan, drinking cup after cup, looking at the imperial sister and feeling uncomfortable, how could he ever be better, he is the prince of Dajing, and after a hundred years of his father, the country of Dajing will be guarded by him. But the sister in front of him, who loves him more than his father and queen mother, and is only one year older than him, is suffering for his country.
The man abandoned her back then, leaving behind not only her scarred, but also the sloppy military spirit at the border. It was her, who had just had a miscarriage for three days, and then resolutely rushed to the border pass, just to stabilize the army's heart and defend the country for him.
It seemed that a transparent and clear liquid fell into the cup, Su Qingsong raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, but after drinking four or five glasses, his face was flushed, he was the prince, the prince of the country, and his words and deeds represented the emperor, so he didn't drink much wine on weekdays.
"Okay, don't be reckless if you don't know how to drink, today is your big day Xizi, entertain the envoys from all over the world, the royal sister is tired, so I will go back first. Su Qingluan naturally knew what his younger brother was thinking, put down the wine glass, and drove Su Qingsong to the banquet.
"Sister Huang, I'll send you. The crown princess, who had been smiling and watching the two of them, poured out her mouth.
"Good. Su Qingluan knew that she must have something to say, so he walked slowly with her to the outside of the hall. Unbeknownst to her, as she left, a faint gaze followed her figure until she disappeared.
At the same time that Yuan Junyao retracted his gaze, he happened to bump into a pair of eyes full of unkindness, "Nine Emperor Princes." Yuan Junyao raised his glass, but he didn't think that the other party would ignore him at all. Yuan Junyao didn't care, and drank the wine in his cup.
Su Qingyu, the ninth prince, coldly skimmed the ill-intentioned King of Northern Qi Yuan on the other side, does an old man of twenty-five or sixteen dare to think of the most perfect woman in the world?
Yuan Junyao, who fully understood the meaning of the other party's eyes, was almost choked by the wine in his mouth, the old man?
Su Qingluan walked casually under the corridor with Qu Zi Lean, and after about a quarter of an hour, Qu Zi Qian spoke, "Sister Huang, I know that you have done a lot for your husband, thank you." After speaking, Qu Zi bowed to her sincerely.
Su Qingluan hurriedly reached out to help her up, "Zitian, you are wrong, I am not just for Yiwen." At that time, the horse died suddenly, and the border soldiers were unstable, and I was the most suitable person. The soldiers at the border pass were all trained by their grandfathers and auxiliary princes, and my grandfather was very old that day, and his uncle was wounded. I have been in and out of the barracks with my grandfather since I was a child, and apart from the Mei family, I am the person who can convince them the most. ”
Su Qingluan left for a long time, and Qu Zitian was still in place, and she didn't return to the banquet until a maid came to pass the prince to find her.
Su Qingluan took the two palace maids and met the emperor's personal eunuch on the way back to the palace, Sun Chengan walked up to Su Qing and hurriedly saluted, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the saint coughed up blood and fainted, the queen asked the slave to come and invite you to Fengchen Palace!"
After listening to Sun Chengan's words, Su Qingluan was shocked, "What? Father coughed up blood and fainted?" After speaking, without waiting for Sun Cheng'an to reply, he rushed towards Fengchen Palace.
As soon as I stepped into Fengchen Palace, I saw that all the palace maids and eunuchs had retreated to the outside of the dormitory and waited, only the queen mother and the emperor were in the palace, the emperor seemed to be asleep on the bed at this time, the queen wiped her tears alone, and the queen mother was full of seriousness. Seeing Su Qingluan coming, the Queen Mother said, "The imperial doctor has already boiled medicine for your father, your father has just fallen asleep, and now that the envoys from various countries are here, this is not to leak the slightest rumor." ”
"Yes, Luan'er knows, but I don't know what the imperial doctor said?" Su Qingluan was full of anxiety, but he didn't know how the emperor was doing.
"Alas, it's not the chaotic minister and thief back then, he shot an arrow in the emperor's heart back then, and only then did he fall into this problem, especially in the past few years, it has been aggravated. The Queen Mother mentioned that the second prince who rebelled back then was resentful.
"Mother, ahem, mother, so many years have passed, ahem...... Don't worry about it anymore. Ahem...... "The emperor was about to cough for a long time before he could finish a sentence, and Huang Pei hurriedly stepped forward to help him pat him on the back.
"Father, father, have you woken up, do you feel anything uncomfortable?" Su Qingluan hurriedly threw himself down and stared nervously at the emperor in front of the bed.
"Luan'er, you don't have to worry, my father's illness is clear. The emperor looked at Su Qingluan lovingly, she was still an infant baby, and now she is so big in a blink of an eye. The daughter he loved in the palm of his hand, he longed to put the best things in the world in front of him, but he lost his husband and children for his country.
"Father, you must take care of your body and get better soon! Erchen still has to accompany you to hunt every year?" Su Qingluan pretended to be relaxed and said, "After the year of hunting, Erchen will definitely take the first place, and when the time comes, please ask my father to give the golden bow of the emperor to Erchen!"
The emperor understood Su Qingluan's intentions, and also followed her, and said with a smile, "Okay, when the time comes, the golden bow will be rewarded, whoever wins the first place will belong to whom, and if someone else wins it at that time, you are not allowed to cry your nose!"
The emperor said something and was a little tired, so the queen mother left with Su Qingluan, leaving the queen to take care of him.
"Imperial grandmother, is my father's illness really okay?" Su Qingluan was worried, his father was not yet forty years old this year, and he was the most energetic, but looking at him today, his face seemed to be old.
"Don't worry, the imperial doctor said that as long as the emperor's disease is well maintained, and then combined with decoction, it can be stabilized. The Queen Mother looked at the sky, "Go back, it's not early, you have drunk a lot of wine at the table, go back and rest." ”
"Then what should Yiwen say over there?" Su Qingluan was a little hesitant whether to tell him the truth.
The Queen Mother thought for a while, "Let's wait for the envoys from various countries to leave, now that Western Qin is eyeing each other, Northern Qi and Southern Chen are not easy to get along with, so the emperor's illness must not be spread." ”
"Yes, Luan'er retired. Su Qingluan left with a lot of worries, but when he returned to his palace, he couldn't sleep because of the emperor's coughing up blood and fainting, and after bathing and washing, he walked alone to the merlin.
This piece of red plum forest is dozens of zhang away from Luan Palace, at this time she faded the big red palace dress at the wedding banquet, only wearing a moon-white regular dress, and the step beads on her head were also taken off, because she had just bathed, and the green silk on her head that had not dried up to her waist was draped like this. The winter wind blew a little stinging pain on her face, but she didn't care, just walked forward blindly.
There is a stone bridge in the middle of the merlin, and the artificial river flows slowly under the bridge. This small river with a width of the foot divides the plum forest, with red plums on one side and white plums on the other. Su Qingluan slowly stepped onto the stone bridge, blew a cold wind on the bridge for a while, and slowly got off the bridge from the other side, walked to a plum tree a little thick, squatted down, took out a dagger and dug a small pit in the ground, and took out something from his arms.
Under the moonlight, Su Qingluan lay quietly in the palm of his hand a concentric knot woven with hair, with a red rope wrapped around it, and a peach-heart-shaped stone falling below. Su Qingluan's thumb gently stroked the stone, this stone was accidentally found by the two of them in this river one day, because of its unique shape, she kept it, and later made this pendant of concentric knots.
Recalling the past scenes vividly, but now that I think about it, it is like a sharp knife, cutting her all over her body. There was a warm liquid dripping onto the stone in his hand, drip by drop, and more and more. Su Qingluan covered the concentric knot in her heart, her shoulders kept trembling, the moonlight sprinkled on her, and the green silk behind her fell to the ground, at this moment, her beauty made people feel distressed, and people wanted to hold her in their arms to protect her.
At this moment, a cloak fell on her shoulder, and a cold fragrance hit her.
Su Qingluan raised her head and looked into a pair of eyes like a winter lake, she bit her lip and tried not to cry, "Xiao Yu, my heart hurts so much." ”
Su Qingyu's unchanging cold expression melted in an instant, and he smiled, "I know." After saying that, he wrapped her in his arms, "It's okay, you can cry, but don't put snot on me." ”
"Woo...... Hello stingy ......"
"Woo...... Xiao Yu ...... From now on, I'm the only one, what am I going to do......"
Her voice was sad and heartbreaking, and Su Qingyu gently patted her back with her hand, "You still have me, even if all the people in this world leave you, I will be here." I...... can protect you ......"
Listening to his words, Su Qingluan's heart felt warm, tonight, let her indulge once, from now on, she will never be sad about this matter again.
"Woo...... You're so nice......"
“…… Well. Su Qingyu was a little uncomfortable.
"But, I've got all the snot on you......"
There was a moment of stiffness around her shoulders...... It doesn't matter, you accompany. ”
"You're so stingy, I'm your sister, and I'm sad. I couldn't help but laugh out loud as she spoke.
"Then, you wash me!" Su Qingyu also had a rare smile in his tone.
A figure in the plum forest disappeared, as if it had never appeared, only the two footprints on the snow knew that someone had witnessed the whole process here, and also saw her heartbroken in the moonlight.
After a long time, Su Qingluan came out of Su Qingyu's arms, wiped the tears on his face, and then put the concentric knot into the small pit dug.
