It was night, and a bright moon hung high in Shangyang Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the bustle of a group of people sitting around the small kitchen eating dumplings in the Ganquan Palace of Weiguo, it is too deserted here.

Not only for him, but also for the entire Chu Palace, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was much colder than in previous years.

The king of Chu was seriously ill, the imperial grandson was under house arrest, not only the previous year's festival celebrations were postponed, but even the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was saved, and the huge Chu royal palace was cold and deserted, without the slightest fresh breath.

Su Jingshuo gave the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving in Shangyang Palace a day off today, so, compared to the past, the Shangyang Palace that entered the night was empty, except for the Imperial Forest Army who was responsible for house arrest outside the palace, there was no half of them, and they had reviewed the backlog of recitals these days, and it was time to hold the lamp, Su Jingshuo walked to the window, pushed open the hidden window, and at the moment when the window was opened, the cold wind outside instantly came.

That cold breath calmed his mind a lot.

The snow has stopped for a day, because he has given the palace people a holiday, so, as far as the eye can see, the pavilions and water pavilions outside the hall have been covered with thick snow, and the earth seems to be covered with a layer of quilt, sleeping quietly under the reflection of the full moon in the sky.

Such a night, such a day, is suitable for longing.

And in fact, not only this moment, but all the days of separation, as soon as he stops what he is doing, his mind will return to those days when he knew her.

Just like seeing such a snowy night, the first fragment that flashed in his mind was that night in the mountains outside Linyang City, he was poisoned and fell into a coma, and she kept watch on the tree outside all night in order to be vigilant that the searchers would find them, he didn't tell her, when he woke up in the cave and found that there was no her around, his first reaction was how frightened and scared he was, he didn't tell her, when he pushed open the door of the cave in a hurry, and saw the little her curled up in a ball hanging on the tree outside the cave to keep vigil for him, the touch in his heart was indescribable。

He didn't tell her that when he saw her fall from a tree because he suddenly pushed open the door, he stepped forward and took her in his arms, and at that moment, he seemed to embrace the whole world.

He was born in the palace since he was a child, grew up in the palace, although the brocade clothes and jade food here, unbreakable, but also cold, some people taught him poetry and etiquette, some people taught him how to govern the country and cherish talents, and some people taught him Wen Taowu strategy...... However, no one taught him how to express himself when he met his sweetheart, how to tell her how important she was in his heart.

These days, every time he recalls the details of getting along with her, he always feels regretful, regrets that he didn't say a lot of things to her, that he didn't pull her to do a lot of things, and that he was trapped in Shangyang Palace and couldn't go to the dangerous situation of defending the country with her.

When this was over, he went to her.

Thinking of this, Su Jingshuo lifted his steps, walked out of the main hall, and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion not far from the hall on the snow.

After walking a few steps, he saw a golden figure cut through the dark night, and in an instant he was in front of him, Su Jingxuan's steps did not make the slightest pause, he didn't even raise his eyebrows, he only spoke: "It seems that someone mentioned your marriage to Miss Lin at the family banquet again?"

Eryuan jumped to the flower bed not far from the pavilion, kicked off the snow on it with both feet, and regardless of the humidity above, he sat down directly, and sighed at Su Jingxuan: "Hey, master, why are you so accurate in everything!"

Su Jingxuan crossed the two yuan in steps, continued to walk towards the Huxin Pavilion, and said with a faint smile: "Speaking of which, you are also the eldest child, this marriage cannot be delayed any longer, Lin Yeshuang is a good girl, just ......"

With that, he raised his hand and pointed to his head.

Needless to say, Eryuan also knew that it was the meaning of lack of roots, he sighed, did not look at Su Jingxuan, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "I also said that my boss is not small, master, you are three months older than me! Don't you care about your marriage? Hey, by the way, speaking of which, the emperor has ordered the officials above the fifth rank in the court to send the portraits of the daughters of the concubines in the family to the palace, so that you can take a look at it first, what do you think?" If you don't take a closer look, it doesn't matter, after fifteen, these ladies will be invited to the palace in the name of accompanying Princess Changping for the Lantern Festival, and when the time comes, you can take a good look. ”

Su Jingxuan, who was originally walking on the corridor leading to the Huxin Pavilion, paused because of this sentence, he moved his throat, and wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed, lifted his steps and continued to walk forward.

Seeing that he didn't care about himself, Eryuan patted the flower bed, changed the topic and asked, "Hey, the palace people have been given a holiday by you, so master, didn't you eat at night?" I originally wanted to bring you dumplings, but on the way back I met the little prince, he just rushed back to the royal capital, he said to go to the emperor to say goodbye, and then to come over to accompany you to catch up, I thought he must have an arrangement, but where do I know, I have eaten a family banquet, and I didn't see the shadow of the little prince when I came back, there is no reason, which time you and he are not going to talk about late at night, is he unwell to go back first?"

Su Jingxuan had already walked to the pavilion in the center of the lake, raised his wide sleeves to brush away the falling snow on the stone bench, and then sat down, he turned his head and said to Eryuan: "I didn't expect Uncle Wang to return to the royal capital so soon, there is no palace maid in the palace today, you go and make a pot of tea." ”

Eryuan was puzzled: "But it's so late, the little prince may have gone back to rest, he is inconvenient, and he is running all the way, he shouldn't come, master." ”

Although he said so, since it was something that Su Jingxuan ordered, Eryuan still got up and went to the hall to find the teapot.

The body of the two elements just entered the hall, and he saw a figure like a Zhilan jade tree coming out of the courtyard not far away.

"Sure enough, Ah Shuo still understands me. ”

Before the voice fell, he had already walked from the shadow of the garden to the palace lamp in the garden, Su Zongchen's slender and upright eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the breath he exhaled was a little unstable.

Tonight, he was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, wrapped in a snow-white fox fur outside, and the cold wind blowing in the garden from time to time, the fox fur he was wearing and the robe inside were wantonly stirred by the cold wind, and his clothes were fluttering, like an ancient god who stepped from outside the spiritual platform.

has such a temperament and elegance, there is only the little uncle Wang who is the half-uncle of his prince's father in this world, Su Zongchen.

Seeing this, Su Jingxuan hurriedly stood up, stepped forward a few steps to greet him, raised his hand to support Su Zongchen, who was overwhelmed, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang also understands me." ”

Su Jingxuan's wrist rested on Su Zongchen's vein, and found that his pulse was a little weaker than the last time, so he couldn't help frowning and worried: "Uncle Wang is tired for me......"

Su Zongchen took advantage of Su Jingshuo's hand on his vein, leaned most of his body on his shoulder, a little panting, coughed for a while, calmed his breath a little, and said: "But no, I am a hard worker, found that there is something strange in the court, and specially asked for a military charm not far away to save you, but you are good, I came back first, this is not counted, I hurried and hurried back for Chinese New Year's Eve, but I did not expect that when I came back, I was called by my father and the emperor to count down because of you." ”

Although he said these complaining words, there was no hint of complaint in Su Zongchen's tone.

Su Jingxuan supported him, feeling that his wrists were distinctly jointed, even though he was wrapped in a thick snow-white fox fur, but the whole person seemed to be hollowed out by the disease and only a skeleton remained, seeing his weak breath again, a touch of blush appeared on his pale face because of this coughing and wheezing, and said distressedly: "It's cold outside, let's go and sit in the house." ”

After a short rest, the panting in Su Zongchen's chest also improved slightly, he stood up straight, pulled Su Jingxuan's wrist with his backhand, and a touch of Zhuo Ran who jumped out of the red dust appeared on his stunning face and smiled: "It's rare that the two of us enjoy the moon together, let's go, I'm fine." ”

Seeing that he was so persistent, Su Jingshuo couldn't refuse, so he just walked with him to the Huxin Pavilion and sat down.

However, after only a few short steps, Su Zongchen walked down and panted for a long time.

"The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, can Uncle Wang take it on time, how can his condition get worse so much all of a sudden?"

Su Zongchen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, this year's winter is colder than usual, and this uncompetitive body is so tormenting." ”

Hearing him say this, he did not dispel Su Jingshuo's doubts and worries, he was about to speak, but he saw Zhusheng who came from the garden with a large food box, and saluted Su Jingshuo before saying: "The emperor left our grandfather to have dinner in the palace, but the master had to say that he brought it over to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with His Royal Highness the imperial grandson." ”

Seeing that Su Jingshuo nodded, Zhu Sheng got up, walked to the Huxin Pavilion with the big food box in a few steps, opened the big food box, presented the big plate of dumplings that were still steaming to the stone table, and set up the dishes and chopsticks for the two of them, and then retreated.

"Hey!

Zhu Sheng only took two steps, and was looked at by Eryuan, who came over with a teapot, he raised his hand to say hello, and then saw Su Jingshuo and Su Zongchen sitting in the Huxin Pavilion talking and laughing, and hurriedly quickened his pace, saluted, put down the teapot and teacup and retreated.

When there were only the two of them left in the huge garden, Su Zongchen raised his hand to clip a dumpling for Su Jingxuan, and said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will be cold." ”

Su Jingxuan looked at the steaming dumplings, and the softest part of his heart seemed to be gently rubbed, and he said after a long time: "You still remember." ”

Su Zongchen also clipped one for himself, sighed lightly, took a bite, and then sighed: "It tastes good, it's not worse than what the nurse makes." ”

If it is said that he saw that on Chinese New Year's Eve he traveled thousands of miles to return, and after seeing Ann to his father and emperor as a courtesy, he was the first to come to give himself dumplings and let himself be very touched, then this sentence undoubtedly added a little more force to this touch.

Others may not know what the significance of eating such a simple dumpling on Chinese New Year's Eve is for Su Jingshuo, but Su Zongchen understands.

He has no mother since he was born, in order to raise him well, the imperial grandfather sent him to the palace of Liu Guifei, who had only given birth to the prince for a few days, and raised the eldest grandson of the emperor and his prince until he was three years old.

And Liu Guifei is Su Zongchen's mother, Su Zongchen is the prince who is a generation higher than him, but according to his age, he was only born two days earlier than him.

The two shared a grandmother, grew up intimately until they were three years old, and Su Jingshuo was carried back to Weiyang Palace by the imperial grandfather to raise him alone, but how busy the imperial grandfather was, he had endless political affairs, endless criticism, and endless banquets on Chinese New Year's Eve, so every Chinese New Year's Eve, the lonely Su Jingxuan hid with the grandmother in the small kitchen in the side hall to eat dumplings.

And that year, the grandmother died in an accident, and he was the only one left on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he hid in the small kitchen with his knees and cried, and it was Uncle Wang who found him and brought him steaming dumplings.

Since then, every Chinese New Year's Eve when he was a child, he would bring dumplings and would not let him be alone in the small kitchen.

Since when did the two of them not celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve like this again?

Thinking of this, Su Jingshuo sighed and said: "In the past few years, I have been tied to the position of the prince by the imperial grandfather, I have missed too much and lost too much, fortunately, there is still Uncle Wang who understands me." ”

As soon as he heard Su Jingxuan's tone, there was already a little more helplessness and sadness, Su Zongchen raised his hand, patted the back of his hand, and said in the tone of an elder: "When the child is older, it is time to understand some things and take on the heavy responsibility that he should bear." ”

Hearing this, Su Jingxuan's mood that was still a little depressed just now disappeared in an instant, and he raised his eyebrows and protested: "You are only two days older than me, so you want to be an elder and press me for the rest of my life?"

Su Zongchen said with a smile: "An uncle for one day, an uncle for life." ”

With his smile, the gorgeous and cool aura around him became a little thicker, but Su Jingshuo had forgotten his smile just now, and suddenly said seriously: "You haven't taken medicine well recently, have you? ”

Su Zongchen saw that he mentioned that his physical condition suddenly looked so cautious and serious, his heart was moved, but he smiled mildly on his face: "Actually, my body is indeed better than before, but in the past few days, I have been running around for days, and I have suffered from the wind and cold on the road, and some of the past chronic diseases have really been removed, so the life-saving pills prescribed by the imperial doctor in the past are now taken less frequently, so the fragrance of the medicine that I always carried on my body because of long-term medication has gradually faded, speaking of which, I have to thank a girl." ”

"A girl?" Hearing Su Zongchen's first half of the sentence, Su Jingxuan's frowning brows gradually widened, but when he heard the last few words, his interest was suddenly raised.

This was the first time he had mentioned a girl from Uncle Xiaowang, a fairy who didn't seem to eat the smell of fireworks in the world, and he couldn't help asking, "Tell me, which girl is this?"
