A crisp cold wind blows through the imperial gardens of the Imperial Palace.
The eunuch Yuan Guoxin was instructing a few small yellow doors to clear the snow, and when he saw Chai Jue passing by, he respectfully greeted: "The Third Highness is well." ”
The little yellow men also knelt down to say goodbye.
Chai Jue looked at the imperial garden in a daze and didn't say a word.
At this moment, the Imperial Garden is covered with vast and thick snow.
The lantern is lit on the side, and the shadow of the light is flickering.
The bright light of the lights seemed to seep through the interior of the snow, casting a cold, white shadow. There was a faint glimmer of light, as if emanating from the bottom of the night.
Tranquility is too beautiful to be in the world.
Chai Jue suddenly remembered what Le Lin said today-"I like to watch snow." ”
The snow scene turned out to be so beautiful, and it was the first time he had discovered it like this.
"Third Highness?"
Yuan Guoxin on the side saw that he was silent, and called softly.
Chai Jue came back to his senses and asked Yuan Guoxin, "Pavilion Chief Yuan, can the snow in the atrium be swept away?" ”
He asked about the atrium on the side of the imperial garden, which is about more than 100 zhang long and wide, and it is the only way to go to Chai Jue's Fuyun Palace.
"I haven't cleaned it yet," Yuan Guoxin thought that Chai Jue was blaming them for sweeping too slowly, and hurriedly said: "Today's wind and snow are a little heavy, and I hope that His Royal Highness will be lenient, and the cleaning will be completed early tomorrow morning." ”
Chai Jue shook his head, an ambiguous smile appeared on his lips, and said, "The atrium doesn't need to be cleaned. ”
"Huh? This ......"
"I want to see snow."
"But...... But this atrium is the only way for the official family to go to the early dynasty, and I am afraid that the small one will be blamed by the official family......"
Yuan Guoxin said with trepidation.
Chai Jue smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." I went to tell my father in person. ”
"This ......"
"Which palace is Father in tonight?"
Yuan Guoxin never imagined that this Highness would be so willful, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Chai Jue said to himself: "I heard that my father has recently favored Dou Chongyuan, who has recently entered the palace, presumably he is in the Calyx Hall at this time." ”
With that, he strode in the direction of the west.
"Third Highness!" Yuan Guoxin hurriedly followed and stopped him: "There is no rumor of the palace of the servants in the Inner Servant Temple, and the official family should stay in the Wende Hall tonight." ”
"Oh, it's Wendeden."
Chai Jue turned around and walked south.
……
In the Wende Palace, carved beams and painted buildings.
In the hollowed-out bat-patterned charcoal furnace, a red charcoal fire burns, and from time to time there is a small, steel-needle-like sound of breaking.
The official sat cross-legged on the chaise longue by the window, holding an old notebook in his hand, and reading it with all his attention.
Suddenly, he felt a commotion coming from far and near.
- "Third Highness, Third Highness, please stop. ”
It was Xing An's voice.
Oh, is Ah Jue here?
The official frowned, and he was very puzzled in his heart - at this hour, what kind of urgent matter did Chai Jue have to come to disturb?
Before he had time to think about it, the door had been pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew into the room, and the official family couldn't help but shiver.
Chai Jue walked in, saw that the official family had not yet gone to bed, breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and said, "The son of the emperor will see his father." ”
The official was a little annoyed: "Do you know what time it is?" ”
The tone is palpable displeasure
Chai Jue raised his head and said in a soft voice: "Erchen has an urgent matter. ”
When the official family saw him so reckless, they didn't like it even more, and they hung him for a long time before they said coldly: "Let's be even." ”
Chai Jue stood up and rubbed his knees, but it hurt a little to kneel.
The official asked indifferently, "What's the matter?" ”
"Father, can you not sweep the snow in the atrium tonight?"
"What?"
"Erchen wants to see the snow."
The official was silent, staring at Chai Jue without blinking for a moment, making his heart furious.
Chai Jue called softly: "Father? ”
"Just for this kind of boring little thing?"
"Hmm."
"Ah Jue," the official called Chai Jue unhurriedly.
For some reason, at this time, only a few candles were lit in the Wende Palace. Under the flickering light, the distinct outline of the official family looked a little gloomy.
He said solemnly: "Do you know that just because you are wearing a sword like this, breaking into my bedroom at night is already a complicit in the crime. ”
If it was Chai Jue in the past, when he heard this, he was already sweating with fear.
However, at this moment, he remembered what "Le Lang" had said to him.
- "Thinking about non-division is called 'coveting.'" However, it is often because it seems that it is easy to get it that there is no point in thinking. ”
- "If you are qualified to compete for that position like them, you will not hesitate to give up their 'sincerity' to you." ”
- "The rare family affection of the emperor's family is just something you talk about to comfort yourself. ”
Chai Jue felt a sense of powerlessness.
This family relationship is weaker than he imagined. It was because he was inconspicuous and dewy in the past, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and pretending to have no city, so that he was treated by others as "heartless".
However, once he trespasses slightly, in the eyes of his father, he is "complicit in crime".
Chai Jue raised his eyes to look at the official family, his eyes were colder than the snow outside the Wende Hall at this moment.
The official family looked at his son who was staring at him unabashedly, and he lost his mind for a while.
Chai Jue's amber eyes reminded him of a person - Yeluta is not smoking, Chai Jue's mother.
Even the arrogant eyes are the same.
"Am I not right?"
The official sneered.
Chai Jue looked away, didn't want to look at him, clenched his hand into a fist, endured it for a long time, and finally put it down.
He smiled and said, "Dare to ask my father, what kind of rebellion is the son's minister?" ”
"You!"
The official family never thought that he would reply with such a sentence, and he was so choked that he couldn't say anything.
Chai Jue saw him like this, and said even more angrily: "Isn't it, rebellion requires friends, but in this Manchu Dynasty, which one dares to be friends with me, and which one is willing to be with my party?" ”
"Chai Jue!"
The official family called him by name and surname, and in his tone, there was anger that could not be concealed and the mountain rain was about to come.
But Chai Jue couldn't stop talking: "Father, you said that your sons are rebelling, are you too elevating your sons?" ”
"I really exalt you too much," the official family forcibly held back the angered emotion, the corners of his mouth pulled up a mocking angle, and said, "With your recklessness, what great thing can you achieve?" ”
With that, he called: "Come on!" ”
Xing An, who was waiting outside the door, heard this, entered and knelt down to wait for the official's orders.
The official said: "The third prince Chai Jue, who was disrespectful, knelt outside the Wende Hall and meditated on his own mistakes. ”
Xing An reluctantly accepted the order, and asked again in a panic: "Official, what hour are you going to kneel?" ”
"Kneel until I wake up tomorrow morning."
"This ......" Outside it was snowing again, and the wind was biting. Xing An saw that Chai Jue's clothes were slightly thin, and he couldn't bear it.
However, Chai Jue didn't know how to raise his eyes and said: "Erchen can kneel at any time, but the snow in the atrium can't be swept tonight." ”
The official raised his hand, propped himself on the small table in the couch, held his cheeks, and stared at Chai Jue with interest: "You like to watch the snow so much, so you can kneel in the snow in the atrium." ”
"Official!" Xing An heard this and blurted out.
Chai Jue waved his hand, stopped his plea, and said to the official: "The son of the minister retires." ”
