63. Stars
This meal was extremely uncomfortable. My father talked to my mother a few times, but she choked back, so I had to pretend to be 120,000 loving, chatting with Li Rui and me, parting others to middle age, and talking to us two teenagers. The scenery, these two are not our favorites, and there are many insights and hears that are inconvenient to say and know with the monarch's father, it is really difficult to chat, the two of us cheered up all our spirits, and tried our best to meet them, but we can only cope with not to be cold, my father knows about it in his heart, but he dragged us and refused to let us go, my mother looked coldly, and when my father asked someone to send the food in front of him to us for the tenth time, he finally showed great mercy and said: " Tomorrow we will depart, and if you have any belongings, let them pack them up, and not to slip anything or break it in a hurry. β
I immediately responded, was glared at by my father, got up with a smile, and arched my hand: "A-Niang has given me a lot of books, I don't worry, I want to watch them collect them in person." While talking, his eyes wandered back and forth between his parents, and my mother only glanced at me with a smile and turned to look at Li Rui, who was also busy getting up and said: "My son also has a lot of paperwork to pack, those people are very stupid, and I can only rest assured if I see it with my own eyes." β
The father waved his hand helplessly, "Go, if it's late in the evening, don't come." β
As soon as we went outside, Li Rui pulled my sleeve, pulled me aside, and said softly: "A-Niang and Aye, what's wrong?"
I shook my head, "I don't know. β
Li Rui glanced left and right, and said mysteriously in my ear: "I heard that there is a talented person who serves the decoction very diligently and has been rewarded by Aya, do you know who it is?"
I glared at him and said, "Grandma's business, how can we inquire about it as juniors." It's late, you go back quickly, don't start tomorrow and you haven't gotten up yet. β
Li Rui said: "This is not an inquiry, but everyone talked about it during the banquet, so I won't ask too much." After saying that, he was still standing there sullenly, and he didn't just leave.
I saw that he obviously had something to say, so I stood and waited for him, but Li Rui hesitated for a while, but when he opened his mouth, he said, "I'm leaving." As he spoke, he walked out, and in an instant he was far away.
I seemed to have an understanding, subconsciously looked around the people around me, and glanced at Wei Huan, so she obediently stepped forward with me, walked a few steps side by side, and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
I hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Ah Huan, have you heard any rumors in the palace recently?" In the past, Xiao Lang would often leak the news he heard to me, but now these palace people are all new, I don't want to be close to them, and they don't dare to chat with me, so although I am in the palace, I am still behind Li Rui's news.
Wei Huan understood what I meant, and said in a low voice: "I am with you every day, and they have never said these things to me. But I know that Ah Yuan was brought up by Ah Qing Niang to enter Penglai Temple. Adin, who stayed in the capital, was Yang Weng's fellow villager. β
I was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is Ah Qing the one who serves tea?"
Wei Huan said: "No, it's the short and fat one, she was originally in charge of the palace people on duty at night, His Majesty rewarded her for her diligence, let her go to the inner study hall to study for a few years, and now she is in charge of the collection of cases." β
I thought about it for a while before I vaguely remembered this person, and said with a smile: "You are still powerful, there are hundreds of people in front of A-Niang, and I don't recognize at most twenty." β
Wei Huan said: "They can't control your head, of course you don't recognize it." β
I saw that she was a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Are they bullying you? β
Wei Huanbai said, "I'm such a good bully?"
I realized that she was just taking precautions, so I smiled and said, "If someone really bullies you, don't be tough, just come and sue me, and I will ask for an explanation for you." I felt that this was a bit excessive, and added: "Of course, if Yang Zigao and others have to call me 'Ah Weng' even when I see it, then there is no way." β
Wei Huan pursed his lips and said, "I'm living well in the palace, no one bullies me, don't worry." β
After half a year of getting along, I have become a little familiar with her expression, seeing this appearance, my heart sank, and when I wanted to ask, I remembered that she refused to tell me, so I held back again, held her hand and smiled: "I'll take you to a good place." β
Wei Huan only said: "It's going to leave tomorrow, don't you just care about wandering around, don't you take all the things?"
I wanted to make her happy, and persuaded: "I didn't bring any luggage when I came out, just let them fold and fold casually, why do I need you and me to go and see?"
While talking, he insisted on pushing her to the side, Wei Huan was not a sincere and diligent person, so he went out according to my wishes.
I led her down the winding water, and went around to a wooded area, where there was a pavilion with a hot spring. The spring water here is not worse than the main hall, and it was also a place where the holy car often came, but later a concubine committed suicide here, and the mother thought it was unlucky, and kept saying that she wanted to rebuild a Buddhist hall, but it was never built, so it was abandoned here.
This place was discovered by Li Rui three years ago when we were on a patrol, when this guy heard that this place was haunted, and he was afraid of his mother's reproach, so he begged me in every possible way and asked me to go to Yang Li Sheng brought us here. In order to coax us, Li Sheng pretended not to bring any entourage, only the three of us brothers and sisters sneaked to come at night, but Li Rui and I were frightened, but he was calm and relaxed, and pulled us to look at the stars. At that time, it was early spring, the stars were shining in the sky, the flowers were blooming on the ground, I was holding the hands of my two elder brothers left and right, looking at the starry Tianhe in my eyes, smelling the fragrant and cold fragrance of flowers in my nose, I felt that I was really happy and happy like a seven or eight-year-old child, and even the ghosts in the pavilion were forgotten - at that time I really thought that I could rely on the favor of my parents and brothers to be a carefree little princess for the rest of my life.
I stopped, looked up at the sky, the stars seemed to be afraid of the cold, many of them did not come out, and those that came out were also hanging listlessly one by one, what I heard in my ears was the howling north wind, and the breath in my mouth and nose was the cold air, the only thing that made me feel warm was Wei Huan's hand held in the palm of my hand.
I unconsciously turned my head to look at Wei Huan and saw that she was also tilting her head to look at me. The scattered stars in the sky shone down and fell into her eyes, turning into a whole galaxy. Her face was as warm and quiet as the Milky Way, like a spring breeze blowing through a willow branch in spring, and like the moonlight shining into the atrium in summer, she shook my hand and smiled: "This place is better, it is much quieter than that over there." Look over there, is that Beichen?"
I followed her hand and saw a star looming in the night sky, and I smiled after calculating the direction: "That's the east." β
Wei Huan said: "Dongfang... What star should that be?"
I didn't see it at once, so I said casually: "It's good that it's not Yingfu." As soon as the words came out, he was speechless, and he hurriedly glanced at Wei Huan, but Wei Huan surprisingly didn't refute me, just pulled me to identify the stars. Although I didn't learn astronomy well, I was taken by my parents and brothers to see the stars since I was a child, but I also recognized a lot, so I explained to her one by one: the heart of the three stars, the former prince, the back of the concubine, the middle is the Mingtang, is the king of heaven, the great chen, the world rewards and punishments, the four stars of the Kei, for Tianjin, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, for the temple of heaven, the main soldier...... Now these stars have not come out, I don't know anything about it, half of my mouth is nonsense, Wei Huan listened very seriously, and she just listened, occasionally I found that I had a mistake in my memory, or inconsistent words, when I peeked at her, she didn't point it out, just pulled me and went to ask the next place, I gradually realized that she didn't necessarily understand this, most of them were still explaining me, and my heart was ashamed and warm, so I unconsciously reached out to hold her, and said softly: "It's so cold, let's go back first." β
Wei Huan asked me rhetorically, "Are you cold?" As he spoke, he opened his cloak and wrapped me in, I have grown a little taller recently, but I am still shorter than her, and I was just wrapped by her, and my heart just jumped up for a while, and pushed her with a twist and said, "I'm not cold, I'm afraid of you being cold." I wanted to get out of her arms, but Wei Huan hugged me, pressed his chin on my shoulder, and said softly: "I'm not cold, I'll accompany you." β
The whole cloak was filled with her breath, full, hot, Wei Huan's breath, which had wrapped me in breath, but my heart was still in turmoil at this timeβit was just a beat, but it would bulge between my chest and throat, as if it could break through the obstacles at any moment and jump out. Wei Huan seemed to be talking to me, and I was also like answering, but this heart was no longer in conversation. My mind is full of thoughts, thinking about all the stars I have studied, and trying hard to put my mind on the stars, but even this brain is not under my control, and I am only thinking about Wei Huan wholeheartedly. This useless thing swayed on me vigorously, and kept asking: I like Wei Huan so much, will Wei Huan... Over time, even I unconsciously thought about it: I like Wei Huan, will Wei Huan ... Like me a little too?
