Ten years is like a dream, and the floating life has not ended. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The falling red sun sprinkled the afterglow, the smoke reflects a red lotus pond, there are no lotus leaves in the pond, only last year's dead branches. Even if the long-closed mansion is wiped out of the dust and reorganized, it will be old after all, and at this moment, the old city and the old people will be old.

She said: "Zichu, this is the last time I will go back to Chang'an. ”

He sat down beside her and wondered, "I won't come back to Anyi again this time?"

She leaned into his arms, smiled lightly, and muttered in a low voice: "No, I won't leave Chang'an City ...... back."

raised his voice slightly, and then said: "Zichu, I have waited for ten years, I don't want to wait any longer, it's time." ”

Hearing her say this, he was a little happy and a little dignified: "Is it really time?"

"Yes. She closed her eyes and smiled at the corner of her lips: "You have waited too long, you have suffered for the past ten years......"

He combed her loose hair with his fingers, and a bitter smile flashed on his face, "It's not bitter, it's enough to look forward to your coming." ”

……

The carriage of the Gu family stopped in front of the Princess Zhenguo Mansion, and the three Gu got off one after another, Gu Qinghuan and Gu Qingning followed Gu Qingxuan and walked up to the mansion with him.

Gu Qingxuan handed the name card to the porter, "Gu Qingxuan, the master of the Imperial History Tower, brought his eldest daughter and eldest son to ask to see the eldest princess, and he wanted to pass it on." ”

The concierge glanced at the name card coyly, and saw the seven-grade official rank above, and snickered for a while, no wonder, in the past few days, the threshold of the princess's mansion in this town has been about to be broken by high-ranking officials and emperors, and this seven-grade is indeed rare.

He looked at Gu Qinghuan behind him again, noticed his official uniform, and asked, "Does this adult have a famous post?"

Gu Qinghuan handed over his name post, and when Menzi saw it, he handed the two name cards in, and said to the messenger: "Tell the eldest princess, Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites and his father and sister came to pay respects." ”

All of a sudden, Gu Qingxuan smashed Gu Qinghuan with his elbow, and quipped: "Lord Langzhong, these days, the lower officials have never given you an official salute, please forgive me." ”

Gu Qinghuan's face was stunned, and he rubbed his hands and said angrily: "Father, aren't you going to break my life?"

Gu Qingning covered his mouth and smiled, and also smashed him: "Gu Langzhong, take care of the lower officials in the future." ”

"Sister......

The messenger ran out, smiling all over his face, and said to Gu Qingxuan: "The eldest princess invites Lord Gu to enter the mansion." ”

Gu Qingxuan deliberately looked at his children left and right, and said to the man: "Which Lord Gu?"

The man laughed and nodded: "Three Lord Gu, please!"

……

Their sister and brother still followed Gu Qingxuan, and were led to the back garden by the princess's housekeeper.

Walking into the back garden, they were all a little surprised to see the people in the water pavilion.

Gu Qingxuan was a little surprised that the eldest princess of Jinyi was leaning on a young man's arms in broad daylight, but she was relieved to think that this was her style.

And Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan were particularly surprised, because they recognized at a glance that the young man was none other than Zhongli.

They went up to the pavilion and saluted, Gu Qingning stared at Zhongli intently, unable to come back to his senses.

When Zhongli saw them coming, he stood up, helped her to sit down, and bent down to bow: "Mother, the child will retire first." ”

Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, but they had new doubts.

Zhongli was still that casual, passing by Gu Qingning's side, winking at her in a funny way, and leaving.

The eldest princess of Jinyi is still lazily leaning on the fence of the pavilion, sitting sideways, at this time she has changed into regular clothes, thin brocade spring clothes, luxurious texture and simple color, no hairpin decoration on the head, only a hosta hairpin on both sides of the hair, long green silk draped on the shoulders, graceful and dusty.

She played with the name card in her hand, raised her face and looked at Gu Qingxuan: "From the second-grade Shangshu to the seventh-grade master book, Gu Qingxuan, you are really ingenious as an official." ”

Gu Qingxuan smiled calmly: "The eldest princess praises falsely, Gu is ashamed and doesn't dare to be, only thanks to the court's kindness." ”

She shook the jade bone fan lightly and smiled: "Ten years have passed, Gu Qingxuan is still the same Gu Qingxuan." ”

He nodded and replied, "The eldest princess is still the eldest princess." ”

The two have a tacit understanding like old friends, and their status is obviously very different, but they are also relatively calm.

She looked at the children behind Gu Qingxuan, and finally stopped at Gu Qingning for a long time, and said to him: "The children are well taught, what did I say back then? You and Lan Xi's children must be very promising." No, a new champion has reached a high position in the fifth grade, and a woman can serve in the court, which is really good. ”

The two siblings stepped forward to salute again. After Gu Qinghuan paid a visit, Gu Qingning expressed his gratitude to her: "Qingning is here to thank the eldest princess for her kindness. ”

She kept looking at Gu Qingning, looking at it generally, "Don't thank me, thank your father for writing to me again and again, but ...... If he doesn't turn to me for help, I'll still speak for you......"

She raised a hand lightly and beckoned Gu Qingning a few times to signal her over: "You are not like your mother, but you are very similar to your father......

Gu Qingning lowered his head, cautiously stepped forward, and put his hand in her hand.

She got up slowly, pulled Gu Qingning closer, held her arm affectionately, and said to Gu Qingxuan: "Just leave the things you brought to me, you and Qinghuan go back early, I fell in love with Qingning, let her accompany me here more." ”

Gu Qingxuan put down the flat box on the table, glanced at Gu Qingning, and turned around with a smile: "Okay, Gu Mou has said goodbye to the idiot, and I have the opportunity to come to see the eldest princess again." ”

Their father and son left, Gu Qinghuan looked back at this side frequently, and Gu Qingxuan always seemed to be worried.

After coming to the eldest princess's mansion, he didn't solve his doubts, but added a lot of doubts, so Gu Qinghuan asked Gu Qingxuan: "Father, have you been in contact with the eldest princess for the past ten years?"

"Nope. Gu Qingxuan shook his head: "Messing around under Lu Yuanzhi's nose, and still daring to communicate with his biggest rival at the beginning? ”

"Why does the eldest princess seem to have never been separated from her father......? I never knew what my father had to do with the eldest princess......" he asked.

Gu Qingxuan said: "There is no need to maintain contact, even if we are separated for ten years, it will still be the same, because we have the same purpose, and we have never changed or wavered." ”

"For what purpose?"

"Kill Lu. ”

"Original...... Father has always been in the same camp with the eldest princess...... And the Lu family ......" he groaned, and suddenly remembered: "Then father, you are so grandly visiting the eldest princess today, you don't care that Lu Yuanzhi will see through it...... Other words...... Is it time already?"

"Yes, it's time. ”

……

For the second time today, I put my hand in her hand, and this time, she led me forward slowly......

They walked through the pavilions and water pavilions, went around the heavy mansions, and walked under the green branch corridor, her clothes were like fairies, and the brocade yarn was flying, giving people infinite reverie and tenderness.

The faint fragrance on her body fluttered with the warm wind, it was very fragrant, it smelled good, and it was very comfortable......

Gu Qingning followed her step by step, not knowing what she was going to say, or not saying anything, only silence was suitable for them, and only completely forgetting herself was the best way to get along......

How can there be such a person? Obviously she is plain, but it seems that she has never been absent every day of her life, and she is like this, as if she were a person, yes, as if she were the same person, she is her past, she is her future......

There were fewer and fewer people behind them, and at last they were left in a large room that was brightly lit.

This is the main house bedroom of the princess's house.

Divided horizontally, it is divided into three rooms by two large screens, one is the living room, the one on the left is the bedroom, and the one on the right is the bath.

These two screens are not ordinary screens, but huge bronze mirrors, three on each side, reflecting the light, and when she raises the screen in her hand, she rotates, and thousands of their shadows also revolve with the lights in the mirror......
