Eating almost, Emperor Ming Xian took the Jinpa on the side, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at the side dishes on the table. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'll come back and eat some more. He said casually, setting the Jinpa aside.
Sun Guifei suppressed her smile, unlike other concubines, she was overjoyed when she heard that the emperor was coming: "I don't want you to come often." ”
Emperor Ming Xian didn't speak, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Sun Guifei.
Sun Guifei gently wiped her white jade hand with the brocade handkerchief handed by Gong E, and said slowly: "Every time you come to me, it is a time of worry. After a pause, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Ming Xian: "Later, as usual, let's go to her." ”
Emperor Ming Xian retracted his gaze and looked out at the window next to him, his eyes soft. Moonlight is rare in winter, but tonight I saw a faint moon behind the clouds.
Sun Guifei looked at Emperor Ming Xian's appearance, looked sideways at the window, and she looked at his side face, still the usual handsome appearance back then, but her sideburns were a little whiter.
Sun Guifei turned her head, and Gong E, who was next to the reader, said, "Ming'er, bring the lantern." ”
"Yes. Gong E whispered and turned around.
"No need. Emperor Ming Xian interrupted softly, turned his head, and looked at Sun Guifei: "You don't have to accompany me today, I'll go by myself." ”
The look of surprise in Sun Guifei's eyes flashed, and then she teased her ears, her posture was graceful and beautiful, she smiled at Emperor Ming Xian and nodded, and said softly: "Okay." ”
Emperor Ming Xian got up and walked outside the hall. In the courtyard outside the hall, there was a faint moonlight. The winter moon is pale, and even the moonlight is silvery white.
The great eunuch on the side was waiting, and when he saw Emperor Ming Xian coming out, he hurriedly followed.
Emperor Ming Xian raised his head, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and stretched out his hand.
The happy father-in-law handed the lamp in his hand to Emperor Ming Xian.
Emperor Ming Xian took the lamp and looked down at the candlelight in the lamp: "Go back." With that, he strode out of the hall.
Father-in-law Xi lowered his hand, watched the back of the lone figure go farther and farther, and finally melted into the night, then sighed slightly and turned to leave.
Emperor Ming Xian walked on this road that he had walked countless times, and some desolate roads were rarely visited by people in the palace. After walking for a long time, I saw a tall house. It is guarded by the Praetorian Guard.
Seeing the visitor, the guards next to him bowed their heads and saluted.
Emperor Ming Xian walked in, and the guards next to the door opened the lock. He walked in with his feet raised. First there was a courtyard, and the courtyard was full of flowers and plants. He stopped in the courtyard, turned his head, and looked at the high wall, which was about three feet high. He turned around and walked on.
When I walked to the center of the courtyard, there was still a door inside, and when I opened the lock, I entered again, and there was a closed stone door with a lock on it.
Walking in one by one, I saw the secret room in the middle. The walls in the chamber are changed on all sides, and there is not a single window. Candles are lit all day long, and the printed room is brightly lit.
Inside, the pear wood table and the agarwood bed are all available. Immediately next to the wall of the chamber, there is an upward staircase.
Emperor Ming Xian stood in the inner room, looked around, and then walked up the stairs with the lamp.
There was the sound of footsteps on the wooden steps, but the woman kneeling in the room did not say a word, did not look back.
Emperor Ming Xian went up to the tall building, looked at the woman's voice and shadow, and put the lamp aside.
The upstairs is also surrounded by walls, and white candles are lit on one side, and the fire is gently flickering. There was only one high window in the house, which let in the moonlight.
"How are you going to live these days?" Emperor Ming Xian's voice was very soft, with a gentleness that he had never felt before, and walked to sit down next to the woman.
The woman knelt on the futon, twisting the Buddha beads, her eyelashes were long, her apricot eyes were slightly closed, and her facial features were very beautiful. Because of the perennial seldom in the sun, his face is pale. The silver hair on the back was scattered all over the ground. Not a word. The whole person looks like a pool of stagnant water.
Emperor Ming Xian sat beside the woman, turned his head to look at her side face, and her beautiful face made her slightly hook the corners of her lips, revealing a light smile: "It's still so good-looking." ”
The woman twisted the Buddha beads, as if she didn't hear anything from ear, just twisted them slowly one by one, and her face was expressionless.
Emperor Ming Xian didn't blame, he seemed to have been used to it for a long time, he just leaned back slightly, and then spoke by himself.
"The red plums in the Imperial Garden are blooming very well, I'll go back and pick a few for you and insert them into the room. You like red plums the most, can I let you smell the fragrance of plum blossoms every day?"
"Zilian also wanted to come over today, I didn't let her come. I know you don't like her. Emperor Ming Xian said as he lowered his head, picked up the silver threads scattered on the ground by the woman on the side and began to play.
Emperor Ming Xian chattered and spoke, his voice was very small, with unprecedented tenderness and pampering, like a young man full of love, sentence by sentence. From time to time, I will talk about interesting things and laugh.
It was a genuine laugh, without the slightest impurity. The originally dark and unrestrained person seems to have changed his appearance. The eyes that are always gloomy and unpredictable have also become pure and clean.
The woman closed her eyes and twisted the beads, as if she was sitting still, without saying or moving. Just twisting the beads.
Emperor Ming Xian's words lasted until midnight. He looked up and looked out at the moonlight through the high window:
"It's getting late. I've disturbed your rest again. Blame me for missing too much. Saying that, he stood up: "You sleep, I'll go first." Tomorrow I will remember to bring you red plums to insert in the house. ”
After that, Emperor Ming Xian walked to the entrance of the stairs, put on the lamp, and prepared to go down. His body stopped, and he suddenly turned his head and asked, "If I die on the battlefield, will you feel distressed?"
The woman's back didn't move for a minute, and she didn't speak.
Emperor Ming Xian lowered his head and smiled a little desolately: "Naturally not, you want me to die so much." ”
With that, he took the lamp and walked down the stairs.
Footsteps were heard disappearing, and a high door closed. The sound of the lock came, and the woman with the beads opened her eyes, raised her head slightly, and looked at the window on the high wall and the iron bar, like stagnant water.
The people in the capital fell asleep in peace, but the soldiers in the north mediated with the Western Qi army in the night.
Let's go back to the time when the city was broken
Zhuo Yijia and Hongshan each led their troops to resist the vanguard army that swept the road and broke the city. The rear troops, who were ten miles away, never stepped forward. Stay at a distance, don't move half a minute.
It was the army behind that had not yet caught up, and it did not move in the slightest. The thousands of sergeants in front of them are just a drop in the bucket for them, and they should abandon them, and they didn't mess up their plans.
It was only an hour and a half, before dawn broke. A small battle is over.
Zhuo Yijia's arm was already numb, she and Hong Shan used the terrain and formation to arrange, and finally carried out the killing of the soldiers in front, and the 10,000 people reserved in the city had not moved, she looked at the black head in the distance, and quickly ordered Hong Shan, and the two led the troops into the city. He also sent messengers to inform the generals on both sides, and ordered the following capable men to come to the city to meet together.
