Yao Zhiyue was dismissive of this, but Xu Wanzhen couldn't let her marry Quan Moxian.

The Jiuqu Bridge in winter is deserted, and there is really no scenery to see. The lotus pond under the bridge, the remnants of flowers and leaves have been cleaned up by the palace people, and as far as the eye can see, there is only a lake of clear water.

The north wind blew, carrying the moisture in the lake, and the temperature was a few minutes lower than elsewhere.

This place, if it snows and the lake freezes, it is covered in silver. At this time, it can be said that it is the most depressed time.

Quan Moxian wore a big hat and came out of the front hall towards the Jiuqu Bridge. In his hand, he held a note, on which he asked him to meet at Jiuqu Bridge, and the payment was "Yue".

Since the two families have decided on a family relationship, Quan Moxian knows that this is Yao Zhiyue's girlfriend name.

He was not enthusiastic about this marriage, but it was his mother's heart, and he chose Yao Mansion after thousands of choices.

With his current powerful position, he is naturally regarded as climbing the Yao Mansion. Originally, he was reluctant to agree. This kind of high-ranking daughter wants to have an arrogant temperament, and he puts all his mind on his career, where does he have the energy to be careful.

Besides, he is just continuing the strings, and I heard that Yao Zhiyue is the old man in the family, the pearl in his palm. No matter how you think about it, you don't deserve it.

What made her feel strange was that the Yao family's attitude towards this marriage was very enthusiastic, and their attitude was not arrogant. Unable to resist the old mother's repeated requests, he complied.

But so far, he doesn't even know whether Yao Zhiyue looks flat or round.

At this time, he suddenly received a note from her asking him to meet, and although Quan Moxian felt a little strange, he still went to the appointment.

Perhaps, she just wanted to see herself.

Now that the family affair has been decided, Quan Moxian feels that he also has the obligation to cooperate with her requirements.

A large lake divides the entire Baolin Garden into two places, inner and outer, which is just used to receive male and female guests attending the banquet. The location of the Jiuqu Bridge is in the middle of Baolin Garden, connecting the two sides.

Many banquets were attended by important officials of the court with their daughters, but they were not in the same place.

For example, when an Guo Gong went to a banquet, An Guo Gong and Shi Jingze were in the front hall, while Mrs. Zhuang took her two daughters in the back garden. If there is any urgent matter, it can also be communicated to each other through subordinates and take care of it.

It's just that, normally, everyone abides by the rules of the palace and will not meet through the Jiuqu Bridge.

Entering the palace for a banquet is at most a day's time. Is there anything you can't say at home that you want to come here?

Therefore, at this time, the scenery of Jiuqu Bridge is deserted and no one visits. There were very few palace people even passing by, only the palace guards still stuck to their duties and patrolled back and forth here.

Hao Yun shrunk her shoulders and said, "Zhiyue, let's go back!" ”

It is a desolate place as far as the eye can see, with neither the summer lotus pond scenery nor the winter snow. Really, there's nothing to see. The wind blowing from the surface of the lake made her wear a thick cloak that did not work.

Yao Zhiyue's cheeks were red from the cold, but the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"No, we'll go." A bright smile bloomed on her face, and Jade pointed to the nine-curved bridge not far away, and said with great interest.

There was the place where she first met Wu Zhengxiang. It's also winter, and the only difference is that the lake doesn't freeze at this time.

But that doesn't dampen her enthusiasm. Looking at the palace guards walking across the bridge, Yao Zhiyue was full of excitement and thought, perhaps, she can see him again?

Hao Yun already regretted dying in her heart, what did she do to come to this place with her, let go of the excitement of Wanli, and come to this place where people are frozen to death.

She nodded in resignation. Now, she just wants to get back as soon as possible.

Yao Zhiyue walked towards the Jiuqu Bridge with brisk steps like a butterfly. The look on her face was as if she was going to see her long-lost lover.

Hao Yun knew her thoughts, and couldn't help but secretly slander. She's really hooked! Last time was just a coincidence, who would come here on this freezing day?

But the two of them didn't see it, and there was a figure in a black coat on the opposite bank, and he came over alone.

Wen Mulan stood among the trees behind the two of them, blocking her figure by the big tree. She had good eyesight, and she knew in advance that someone was coming. crossed this big lake, searched on the other side of the lake, and sure enough, I saw Quan Moxian's figure.

She mentally calculated the time, yes, just right.

Yao Zhiyue's steps were light, and her mind was now full of Wu Zhengxiang's star-like eyes. If she could be held in his arms again and gaze at her affectionately, she would be willing to die immediately.

Yao Zhiyue is not a fool, she is just too infatuated with Wu Zhengxiang. The more he disdained her, the more she wanted it. At this time, I also had a little hope in my heart, hoping to see him again in this place.

The Jiuqu Bridge, now in her heart, is the place where she fell in love with him.

She has always been quite confident in her heart. Confident that Wu Zhengxiang is by no means without feelings for her, but because of Xu Wanzhen, who was given by Empress Dowager Xiao, he had to distance himself from her.

Wen Mulan watched Yao Zhiyue get on the bridge, and Hao Yun followed behind with the cloak on her body tightly wrapped.

The bridge deck is made of fine cedar wood, treated with a special insect-proof and moisture-proof technique, and the surface is coated with a layer of red paint.

The weather has not been good these days, the air is always mixed with scattered light rain and snowflakes, and the bridge deck is very wet. In some places, there are still water droplets.

As soon as Yao Zhiyue's feet stepped on it, she almost slipped. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed the handrail by the bridge to stabilize herself. However, this did not stop her enthusiasm in the slightest, and she slowed down her pace towards the middle of the bridge.

Hao Yun walked very slowly, and she was reluctant to come here to blow the cold wind. wanted to go back first, but he was afraid of Yao Zhiyue's quick temper, so he slowly fell behind.

In front of them, a team of patrolling palace guards came over with their finger halberds.

Just between the guards and Yao Zhiyue's misalignment, Wen Mulan squinted slightly, and a golden bead the size of a little finger shot out in her hand.

There was wind on the lake, but the bead was made of gold, and it weighed half and a half. Coupled with the speed at which Wen Mulan ejected, she was not hindered by the cold wind at all, and shot to the back of her knee joint.

Yao Zhiyue only felt a pain in the back of her right leg, and her body threw herself forward. The knee joint was originally a joint for people walking upright, but when an external force attacked, she suddenly lost her balance.

Coupled with the slippery surface of the bridge, she stumbled and pounced on the guard opposite.

"Ahh Yao Zhiyue exclaimed.

This is the second time she has been in distress on the Jiuqu Bridge, but this time she didn't meet him in her mind. Although the guard in front of her is also a good young man, in her eyes he is like a chicken and a dog.

But when she pounced, she threw herself firmly into the other party's arms, which made her disgusted.
