Chapter 17: The Ninefold Palace
Fuzhao Dynasty, Imperial Garden, Listening to Snow Building. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The delicate cornices are hidden in the plum forest, the shadows are sparse and slanted, the dark fragrance is shallow, the ground is Qiongyao, and the snow falls silently.
The bamboo building is only three floors, quiet and quiet. In summer, there is a sound of waterfalls, and in winter, there is dense snow, and there is the sound of broken jade. It is advisable to drum and piano, the piano is harmonious and smooth, it is appropriate to sing poetry, the poetry rhyme is exquisite, it is appropriate to go to the game, the sound of the child is dingding, it is appropriate to throw the pot, the sound of the arrow is loud, this is all for the help of the bamboo building.
Li Xudong sat facing the window, holding a heater in his arms, with a pleasant smile on his handsome face. The winter solstice in Japan is his birthday, and those ministers in the court inevitably mixed a lot of clichΓ©s, and finally got out, took off the Ming Huang dragon robe, changed into a light blue daily winter coat, and put on a snow-white dragon mink fur, and came to the birthday banquet held for him by his younger brothers and sisters.
There are more than a dozen plates of honey osmanthus cake, pickled plums, rose cakes and other foods on the table, which are nothing more than some common snacks. Things come second, but the warmth of a family's night talk around the fireplace is even more tempting. Especially when they don't get together on weekdays, these are the days of the year when they see each other.
"Seventeen, how is his injury?" Cozy glanced at the half-dozing man by the opposite window, and there was a faint trace of worry in his warm eyes.
The plain-clothed woman who was snorting melon seeds next to her said "ah" softly when she heard this, she smiled gently, and said softly: "The fifth brother's injury is not a big deal, but the eyes are ......" put down the melon seeds and rubbed the corners of her forehead.
"Still can't help it?" sighed lightly.
"Ah, it's not without ......," the woman said slowly, with a soft smile on her lips.
This is not a stunning woman, her dark eyes are deep, her willow eyebrows are lightly swept, but there is always a touch of tiredness between her eyebrows. She likes lotus, the palace where she once lived is full of lotus flowers, maybe she has been looking at the lotus for a long time, and the lonely temperament gradually lingers around her, rubs into her bones, and integrates into her heart, and she gradually becomes a lotus-like woman.
But her lonely black eyes were stained with the warmth of spring when she met the destined person.
There was a unique, quiet and gentle wisdom in her eyes, but not sharp. She smiled and tapped lightly on the table. If she was not mistaken, at most tomorrow, the person who should have come will come.
The plain-clothed woman took a piece of osmanthus cake, frowned slightly, put it down again, and picked up the pickled plum next to it. The ink-clothed man beside her immediately raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his ink-like cold eyes. When did she stop eating her favorite sweets, but instead eat sour ones? Noticing the gaze of the man in ink, the woman in plain clothes looked back at him and smiled. Just a glance at each other, you can detect the tacit understanding and affection between the two.
The plain-clothed woman and the ink-clothed man are naturally Li Yangchun and Li Mingxia. Li Mingxia is the seventh prince of the Fuzhao Dynasty, and Li Yangchun has lived in the palace since he was a child due to the change of his family, and after the death of his aunt Xiao Shufei, he became the master of Wing Chun Palace. When it comes to rankings, she happens to be seventeen. The two lived in seclusion under the Luofeng Cliff four years ago, and this time it was because of some accidents that they stayed in the palace for so long.
A cold wind blew, and some snowflakes drifted into the window. Li Xudong glanced at the man by the window, and said to the little eunuch waiting next to him, "Bring me that crane." "Although I call myself me, my timbre is like water, and there is no sense of oppression at all.
The little eunuch understood what he meant, and hurriedly took the soft and warm crane, and without waiting for his command, bowed his head and walked to the window, and carefully draped it over the man who was already napping on the table.
The man had been sleeping deeply, but this time he yawned and raised his head. The little eunuch was startled, knowing that the emperor loved his younger siblings the most in his life, especially the one in front of him, who had a white face at the moment, afraid that the emperor would blame him and wake him up.
"Autumn, is it still cold?" Li Xudong smiled and waved his hand to the little eunuch, but his warm eyes only stared at the man.
"Oh, big brother......" replied vaguely, fumbling with the clothes on his body, and couldn't help laughing, "Big brother, you just wrapped me in a quilt." Based on the feeling in his hands, he initially speculated that there were at least four fox fur and ermine fur cloaks on his body. He's just a little injured, he's not that fragile, okay.
Yes, this person is Li Yanqiu, the living Li Yanqiu. He fell off the cliff and was rescued by Li Yangchun and Li Mingxia, who were living in seclusion under the cliff.
"You're not in good health, it's always good to wear more. β
Li Yanqiu shrugged, he couldn't refuse the kindness of his eldest brother, so enjoy it, although he wore so many clothes on his body, it was really ...... Some heavy.
"By the way, is it dark?" he asked lightly.
Li Xudong's face flashed with a hint of melancholy, and his eyes ......
"Ah, it's the end of the hour, it's snowing outside. The gentle voice came from Li Yangchun. "Fifth brother, are you still blind with your eyes?"
The phoenix's eyes were narrow and smiling, but he lacked the brilliance of his past, and he was clearly blind.
"Seventeen, you have to ask me ...... this" Although I couldn't see it, the phoenix eyes were still facing Li Yangchun's direction accurately, and his lazy laugh was full of ridicule, "Could it be that I stayed with Mingxia, and even my medical skills were wasted!" The narrow phoenix eyes blinked, and the meaning of joking was very obvious.
Li Yangchun coughed lightly, there was no big reaction, but Li Mingxia's action of drinking tea stiffened, and a dark red seemed to float over his cold face.
Alas, I can think of the expressions of these two people with what I think, but it's a pity that I can't see the awkward appearance of Ming Xia, what a pity!
"Just say whatever you want, I've endured it long enough. He sighed lazily, still smiling on his thin lips.
Li Yangchun sighed in his heart, this is really not like a blind person, his mentality is good enough, his feelings are sharp enough, and he has not the slightest frustration of falling from the clouds to the bottom, for a proud son like the fifth brother, it is really some, no, it is too abnormal!
His current idle posture is more like waiting for the fish to take the bait......
Sighing again, she said softly: "I don't think I need to ask now, Seventeen wishes the fifth brother all his wishes." β
Li Yanqiu laughed. "Seventeen deserves to be seventeen!"
Li Mingxia was silent, and he understood a little in his heart. On the contrary, Li Dongxu loves his brother very much and will not think about other places.
"Are you playing dumb riddles?
"Ignore him. Li Mingxia said coldly.
"Ah, big brother, the fifth brother is fine, you don't have to worry too much. He smiled gently and explained softly, "Anyway, according to the fifth brother's temperament, it's a good thing that he doesn't calculate others." "It's clearly a nine-tailed fox, and only the eldest brother who loves his brother will be deceived by him.
"But his eyes ......"
"Big brother, my eyes are fine. Laughing and shaking the fan - uh, believe it, it's winter, but he really needs it because he's wearing too much. "The poison is cold, and he should have an antidote there. He said it relaxedly, as if Leng Feibai was his brother, and he could ask for an antidote by just saying it.
In that case, why did he poison him?
"Leng Feibai?" Li Mingxia's cold face rarely changed a little, and there are not many people who can make Li Mingxia change color.
Li Yanqiu was about to nod, but Qing Ming ran in in a panic.
"See the emperor!" the master ......" Qing Ming swallowed, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Li Yangchun looked at him, and he had roughly understood what was going on. Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots, who picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip elegantly, with a faint smile of expectation on his lips.
It came so fast...... It was a day earlier than she expected!
Li Mingxia's "concerning" eyes came, and she replied to him with a smile of "please watch a good show".
"Qing Ming, what's the matter?" asked Xu.
"That, back to the emperor, someone...... I want to break into the Forbidden Palace!" he carefully looked at Li Yanqiu's expression.
"Oh, who is it?"
"That-" looked at Li Yanqiu again, his heart was crossed, and he said, "Leng girl!"
Li Xudong was stunned for a moment, there was only one cold girl he knew, and she was also the one who made Qiu jump off the cliff, since this is the case-"Qiu, see?" asked in a warm voice.
Under the close gaze of four pairs of eyes, Li Yanqiu elegantly and calmly drank the hot tea in the cup. didn't express his opinion first, and "squinted" at Li Yangchun with a smile.
"Seventeen, the days in the palace are very leisurely. "I'm so idle that I don't have anything else to do, but I want to watch his good show.
"Fifth brother, I see that you have been sleeping all the time lately, boring and tight, and it is not good for recuperation, so I found a good medicine to ......" The plain-clothed woman smiled gently and sincerely, and she was kind and harmless...... Only a few people know that this is really just a disguise.
"Besides, after the fifth brother jumped off the cliff, the girl immediately followed, was seriously injured and seriously ill, stayed at the bottom of the cliff for three months, heard the news of the fifth brother, and immediately rushed to come, obviously it was a journey of three days and three nights, but she was reduced to two days and one night......" paused, and looked at Li Yanqiu with a deep smile. "Is the fifth brother really missing?"
snorted lightly, this girl is really stupid enough, she actually jumped off the cliff with him...... But that's what he expected, isn't it? If he wins, according to her temperament...... Alas, it was too rigid and easy to break, he had already reminded her.
I didn't expect her to come so soon, and when I knew she was coming, I realized that I missed her so much!
Love, his love......
There is a layer of tenderness on the eyebrows and eyes, and the phoenix eyes are obviously invisible, but they are shining because of pure pleasure. He reclined in the bamboo chair and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, smiling and spitting out a few words.
"Nope. "The smile is gentle, the mouth is shallow, and the expression is gentle. "Unless-there are nine palace gates from Heguang Palace to Shuangqiu Palace, arrange manpower, if she can break through in nine hours, I will see her. β
Li Yangchun sighed deeply, and secretly reminded himself in his heart, don't offend a nine-tailed fox, remember to remember!
Qing Ming had a headache on how to carry out the tasks arranged by the master, and once again silently thought in his heart, the girl is very pitiful, I don't know what sins she has done in her previous life, and she is favored by her master in this life......
"Qing Ming, order the men to keep it for nine hours, and don't hurt her, otherwise I will only ask you. He commanded happily.
What? I have to keep it for nine hours, and I am not allowed to hurt people, the master thinks that the silk of the girl is good-looking? The white skin is like swallowing ten jars of bitter gourd, he wants to cry silently without tears, go to heaven and earth, or he is the most pitiful......
"Autumn, bitter meat tricks?" Li Dongxu asked when he heard the clues, and his pleasant voice like water sounded.
"Ah, I guess it's time to get away with it. Li Yangchun nodded.
"Insidious. Li Mingxia, who has always been stingy, commented coldly.
Li Yanqiu hooked her lips and smiled very harmlessly and innocently.
"It's just a war, and I want to win. "So, it's not a big deal to use all the thirty-six strategies!
Yes, it's a war. The war between him and Leng Feibai. What they are fighting for is their position in Leng Qianlian's mind.
"Love, I want you, kill him. β
At first, it was Leng Feibai who provoked first, and how could he not accept it?
ββ¦β¦ Okay, I promise you. β
Leng Qianlian made a decision at that moment, and he was abandoned. Its practical toes can also be thought of, how can one month compare with seven years? Then in the end, no matter what happens, it is expected, and it is also what he is willing to bear.
He knew that in her heart, compared to Leng Feibai, he was at a disadvantage. And he planned quietly, seducing little by little with warmth, and buying little by little with a smile. Spoil her, nurture her appetite, attract her addiction, and provoke her to be greedy. Don't give up every opportunity, induce her to look at him more, look at him more, and every time she looks at him, she will miss more. Then in the end, when he faces off against Leng Feibai, he will have an extra chance of winning.
Step by step, whales devour and eat;
The mechanism is exhausted, and it takes a lot of effort.
What is the net of heaven and earth? This is it!
He spread a dense love network all over the sky, just to catch a cold thousand loves.
Call him insidious, call him cunning. Now that he has fallen, he will not allow her to retreat!
I want her joy, I want her sorrow, I want her exquisite heart, and in the glass eyes, there is no one else but him!
He said that he was a despicable villain, and he treated irrelevant people, even if he helped them, it was just a convenient hand, and if he did something with all his heart, it was naturally impossible not to plot something.
How can he not take back twice as much after paying? He is the fifth prince of the Fuzhao Dynasty, Li Yanqiu!
And now, she's finally here......
His heart was beating uncontrollably, and he glanced out the window again and again, though he couldn't see anything. Leng Qianlian...... It's right outside!...... I've finally come to him! The phoenix's eyes were half-drooping, and her fingers tapped the carved ornaments on the table beams under the table, but the rhythm was the same as the heartbeat, fast and messy. I've always been calm and composed, but at this time it's not like that at all, and time is too slow.
Alas, whether he was torturing her or himself, he could no longer tell. Really lost to her!
Lost to, his love.
"Fifth brother, ahem, you don't have to laugh so ...... Well, sweet and greasy. "She's not much of a sweet tooth lately.
Li Yanqiu raised his eyebrows. "Do you want me to look up to the old things from four years ago?" I don't know who cried and laughed after seeing Ming Xia.
Li Yangchun coughed sullenly, thinking that this fifth brother had better not let her grasp anything, otherwise...... She's not a gentleman anyway.
"It's snowing a lot outside. He said as if intentionally or unintentionally.
Tapping on the carved fingers, his face smiled slowly.
"So what?"
