The moon is in the middle of the sky, the stars are counting, and everything is silent.
Tiancheng is the hinterland of the continent. The outer mountainside of the Qinshan Mountains. Red Ice National Palace.
In the hall on the left side of the pure wooden structure of the "Qingxin Palace", on the golden silk nanmu bed placed against the wall in the inner hall, lying flat on the bed with three thousand green silks, Leng Qing, who was covered with a pale yellow thin quilt to her waist, was silently crying with her starry eyes.
No matter how beautiful a dream is, there will always be a time to wake up, and when you wake up from a dream, you will wet your pillow with tears.
Before saying that, Yan Ziming took Leng Qing back and sent him to the left hall, because he was holding his breath in his heart, after settling Leng Qing, Yan Ziming did not stay in the left hall to take care of Leng Qing, but went directly back to the apse to rest.
Therefore, when midnight was about to pass and Leng Qing woke up from a drunken dream, she was the only one in the dark left hall, and it was because of this that Leng Qing could let herself cry like no one else.
I don't know why, when Leng Qing first woke up from drunkenness this time, she didn't feel a headache at all, but when she just woke up from a drunken dream, Leng Qing couldn't react to where she was now.
It wasn't until she felt the wetness on her pillow that Leng Qing realized that everything she had before was just a dream she had drunk on, a dream that had happened in her and their lives, and now she could only remember it alone.
After a while, Leng Qing didn't think about how she returned to the left hall in the Red Ice Kingdom Palace from the Great Liang National Palace, and only immersed herself in that beautiful dream. But when Leng Qing recalled the scenes and conversations she saw in her dreams, Leng Qing's tears flowed like a river that opened the floodgates, and she couldn't stop it.
Just lay quietly on the golden silk nanmu bed for a while, and when the tears in her eyes gradually subsided, Leng Qing suddenly got up and lifted the quilt and got out of bed, smeared and put on the embroidered shoes on the ground next to the bed, and smeared to the golden silk nanmu couch opposite the golden silk nanmu bed, and took out a fire fold and lit the oil lamp on the rectangular golden silk nanmu low table on the long couch.
Lit the oil lamp, draped in three thousand green silks, and Leng Qing, who was wearing the full-breasted skirt painted in ink, turned around and went to the wardrobe in the corner of the hall to take out a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for practicing calligraphy that she asked Wang Quan to find for her a few days ago because she was idle and bored.
After going to the outer hall to get cold tea and grinding ink, Leng Qing took off her embroidered shoes and climbed onto the couch, and spread the stack of pure white rice paper on the low table, after that, Leng Qing sat on the low table, and painted under the flickering bean lamp......
Time passed little by little, until the end of the night, until the sky outside the hall turned white and the light in the hall gradually brightened, Leng Qing, who had painted in the middle of the night before bowing to the case, finally stopped the brush in her hand. During this period, Leng Qing didn't know how many times she added water to the inkstone, how many times she studied ink, and how many times she added lamp oil to the oil lamp.
At this moment, on the two-meter-long golden silk nanmu couch, there are one after another rice paper covered with ink. When I looked closer, I saw that the rice paper was painted with small people holding swords, and those villains used the long swords in their hands or made point swords or made swords or split swords or made swords or swords and so on.
Holding the last piece of rice paper in her hand to her lips and blowing it for a while, when the ink on the paper was dry, Leng Qing began to fold the rice paper that was laid out on the couch and painted with sword-wielding villains one by one in order.
After collecting all the rice paper with the drawing of the sword-wielding villain, Leng Qing carefully rolled up the thick stack of rice paper, wrapped it in a silver ribbon, and put it into the sleeve pocket of her ink-painted breast-length skirt.
After that, Leng Qing blew out the soybean oil lamp resting on the low table, put on embroidered shoes and tied her scattered three thousand green silk with a white hairband, tidied up her skirt slightly, and after wiping her face casually, Leng Qing carried the thick stack of rolled up rice paper out of the left hall.
When she walked to the front hall, Leng Qing happened to meet Wang Quan, who was setting up breakfast in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu placed under the wall of the hall on one side in the front hall.
"Miss Leng woke up so early, did you sleep well last night? Does your headache hurt? Do you need sobering soup?" As soon as she saw Leng Qing coming towards her, Wang Quan, who had high black hair, was wearing brown leather armor, and was stepping on black dark pattern inlaid gold wire high official boots, asked Leng Qing with a smile.
"No, I don't have a drunken headache. Shaking his head at Wang Quan, Leng Qing directly rejected Wang Quan's kindness. As soon as the words turned, I heard Leng Qing ask Wang Quan, "Why are you preparing breakfast, Mu Wen?" As she spoke, Leng Qing had already strode to the big round table with golden silk nanmu.
On that side, Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu and fiddling with breakfast, heard this, and grinned at Leng Qing: "Didn't he get injured a few days ago? Although the injury is not serious, but brother, I want to let him rest for a while before the injury on his body is healed, anyway, I also did these things." "The breakfast in the past few days has been arranged by him, but Miss Leng doesn't know if she gets up late.
"Well, too. This side, Leng Qing responded in agreement, and nodded towards Wang Quan. The voice changed for a moment, but Leng Qing said to Wang Quan: "I have something to go out now, if things go well, I may not come back for dinner at noon." After finishing speaking, Leng Qing suddenly added: "I may not come back for dinner in the evening." ”
On that side, Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu, was stunned when he heard this, looked at Leng Qing and asked, "Where are you going?"
When Leng Qing heard this, he pondered for a moment before he said to Wang Quan: "Yan Kingdom Palace." I have something to do with Prince Bo. ”
"What is Miss Leng looking for him?" As soon as she heard Leng Qing say that she was going to Yan Guoxing Palace to find Yan Bo, Wang Quan's brows immediately frowned, and the words he blurted out were full of incomprehensible tones.
This time, Leng Qing did not answer truthfully about Wang Quan's blurted out question, but just spit out five words lightly: "It's just a ...... something."
Seeing that Leng Qing avoided talking about what she was looking for Yan Bo, Wang Quan was very aware of the advance and retreat and did not continue to ask.
However, when he thought that Leng Qing was going to find Yan Bo, Wang Quan still frowned a little uneasily and said: "That Prince Bo was in the field in his early years, and he was full of anger, but he was not a good person. And the last time Miss Leng fought with him, I guess he is still haunted by it! Miss Leng had better stay away from him. ”
Leng Qing knew that Wang Quan was caring about her, so after Wang Quan finished speaking, Leng Qing pursed her lips and smiled at Wang Quan, and said in a relaxed and casual tone: "It's okay, I already shook hands with Prince Bo when I was in the Daliang Kingdom Palace yesterday." What's more, he is the prince of a country, even if he is a little unhappy in his heart, he will not really treat me like this. ”
said it casually in her mouth, but Leng Qing was silently slandering in her heart: Yan Bo is dissatisfied with her again, but because of the face of Yan Guo and Chibing Country, Yan Bo will at most use words to squeeze her, but what does it matter? Being squeezed by someone for two sentences will not lose a piece of meat, if she doesn't care, it doesn't matter at all.
On the other side, Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu, was shocked when he heard this, and without a trace of hesitation, he frowned and asked, "Prince Bo also went yesterday?" Why didn't you tell him about this when you came back last night?
On this side, Leng Qing nodded at Wang Quan, and responded lightly: "Hmm!" As soon as the words turned, Leng Qing raised her feet and walked in the direction of the wide open palace gate, and said to Wang Quan: "I won't tell you, I'll go first." ”
Seeing Leng Qing walking out in such a hurry, Wang Quan, who was still standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu, immediately greeted Leng Qing and said, "Alas, alas, wait, let's have breakfast before going! Miss Leng, you were drunk like that last night, you will be uncomfortable if you don't eat some breakfast." ”
"No need, I have urgent business here, I don't have time to delay!" Without looking back, he left these words without looking back, and Leng Qing strode away from this pure wooden structure of the "Qingxin Palace".
At this time, Wang Quan, who was still standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu in the hall, watched Leng Qing walk out of the hall before he lowered his head and muttered to himself: "This cold girl...... How do you feel like being drunk is like being a different person......"
"Wang Quan, who were you talking to just now?" Wang Quan's self-muttering voice dissipated, and a lazy and magnetic voice suddenly came into the ears of Wang Quan, who was hanging his head.
Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu, was startled when he heard the sound, and looked up suddenly, and saw Yan Ziming, who appeared in the front hall at some point, with high black hair and still wearing the thin navy blue robe he wore last night, standing opposite him.
After staring at Yan Ziming in a stunned position for a few seconds, Wang Quan suddenly reacted and said, "Ahh......hhh Talk to Miss Leng!"
On that side, Yan Ziming frowned immediately when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "Xin'er, she was drunk like that last night, and she got up so early today?"
On this side, Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu and was serving porridge in an empty bowl, heard this, and said casually: "It's not just that it's up, it's already out!"
"Where have you gone?" As soon as he heard Wang Quan's answer, Yan Ziming's brows immediately frowned even deeper, and his tone of voice was a little unpleasant.
On this side, Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu and filled porridge in another empty bowl, heard this, and opened his mouth without thinking about it: "Yan Guoxing Palace, it was said that there was an urgent matter to find Prince Bo, and he left without even eating breakfast." ”
"Hmph!" Yan Ziming first snorted coldly at Wang Quan's answer, and then said in a tone of disdain or annoyance: "What is the urgency that she can find Yan Bo!" The words fell, Yan Ziming shook his sleeves and left without looking back.
On this side, Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu and holding a porcelain bowl of porridge, watched Yan Ziming stride towards the wide open palace door, Wang Quan immediately opened his mouth and shouted: "Alas, master, where are you going again! Have breakfast!"
In response to Wang Quan's shouting, it was Yan Ziming's figure that strode away.
On this side, Wang Quan, who was still standing in front of the large round table of golden silk nanmu, watched Yan Ziming's figure disappear outside the wide open hall door with a stunned expression, Wang Quan was a little stunned and thought: Did he say the wrong thing just now......
The other party......
Because the Yan Kingdom Palace was built in the north of the Red Ice Kingdom Palace, Leng Qing found the Yan Kingdom Palace alone without asking anyone for directions after leaving the Red Ice Country Palace.
And because the Yan Kingdom Palace is not very far from the Red Ice Kingdom Palace, it will take more than 40 minutes to walk briskly, so when Leng Qing strides through the mountains and woodlands to the front of the Yan Kingdom Palace with the four golden characters of "Yan Kingdom Palace", the morning sun on the horizon is just beginning to rise.
"I am Leng Qing, the pianist of the Prince of Chibing Guoxu, and today I came to find Prince Bo of your country on the order of the Crown Princess, and I would like to invite this eldest brother to go in and say hello. When he walked outside the gate of the Yan Kingdom Palace and was stopped by the guards patrolling outside the palace, Leng Qing said these words without changing his face.
The patrol guard who stopped Leng Qing thought silently: Prince Chibing Guoxu? Isn't that the husband of Princess Haoyue of their Yan Kingdom? Isn't Princess Naxu Princess Haoyue of their Yan Kingdom? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of their family has always loved Princess Haoyue, and since they are the people sent by Princess Haoyue, if they dare to stop or conceal it or not report it, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat and leave when they turn around!
So, one of the two Yan Kingdom guards who stopped Leng Qing made Leng Qing wait for a while before reporting to the palace.
It didn't take long for the guard to return and let Leng Qing enter the Yan Kingdom Palace on his own.
So, Leng Qing, who came uninvited, finally entered the Yan Kingdom Palace smoothly, and saw Yan Bo having breakfast in a four-corner pavilion built under a lush tree.
Before approaching the four-corner pavilion, Leng Qing saw the round stone table in the pavilion, Yan Bo, who was wearing a simple white jade crown and white hosta hairpin, and was wearing an ink-colored narrow-sleeved brocade robe, was sitting on the round stone bench by the stone table and looking at her with a smile.
When Leng Qing approached the four-corner pavilion, Yan Bo, who was sitting at the stone table, smiled and said to Leng Qing: "Rare guest, really rare guest! Why did Miss Leng come to visit Yan Bo early this morning? I heard that the guard said that the tenth sister sent you, but Yan Bo didn't believe it. Since Miss Leng came so early, I wonder if Miss Leng has had breakfast? If not, Miss Leng might as well sit down and have breakfast with Yan Bo?"
Leng Qing completely ignored Yan Bo's vague and aggrieved polite words.
As soon as he stepped into the pavilion, he walked directly to a stone bench opposite Yan Bo and sat down, Leng Qing opened his mouth and asked Yan Bo directly: "I came to visit today to ask Prince Bo, I wonder if Prince Bo still wants to learn Tai Chi swordsmanship?" )
