Countless carefully carved octagonal Ruyi ice lanterns, crystal clear, hanging on the city wall, looking like a dragon in the long river from a distance, and looking like a waterfall in the near future. The lamp burns with rosin oil wicks, and the dark night is dazzling.

He dismounted, stood with his hands in his hands, and said in a light tone: "In this way, that Yuwen Gongzi has a heart for you." ”

His voice seemed to drift from afar, and I couldn't hear it so clearly.

My heart sank when I read his words, and my eyes were slightly red in the cold wind. I twitched my nose, red from the cold, and exhaled a few puffs of white air.

“…… I'm gone, and I won't be back until after your birthday. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to celebrate your birthday, and when I come back, I'll set up all kinds of novel ice lanterns for you on the Canghe River......"

I always remember someone saying this, giving me a new ice lantern. Although I have forgotten his appearance, all these years, I have been waiting for someone to show up sooner and show me this intricate ice lamp.

I looked at the dazzling lamp curtains in front of me, gently swaying in the wind, so soft and beautiful, I had to sigh.

After a long time, I said to him, "You have tied your horse and walked around the neighborhood with me." ”

The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, and it creaked when stepped on. He and I didn't speak to him, and walked in the snow with our own thoughts. Looking into the distance, such as the undulating mountains of Daiyuan, it is like my heart. I remembered Chu Yang for no reason.

I let out a long sigh, breaking the delicate atmosphere, and said slowly, "Every time I walk here, I think of someone. ”

He walked behind me to the left and didn't speak, as if waiting for my next step.

"When I was fifteen years old, I saw a man who was very kind, so I pointed me out to him by my father. Who knew that my life was not good, and I killed him before I even passed the door. I owe it to him. Now the famous clans in Chang'an don't dare to ask for me for various reasons, which can be regarded as my retribution. ”

He wanted to speak, but stopped: "I have heard of these things for a long time. ”

I shook my head and continued: "I estimate that you know a little bit about these things that are rumored in Beijing, but there are some things that you may not know. For example, if you fall in love with a woman, but if she tells you that she can't forget her dead sweetheart, and tells you who she marries who is unlucky is a broom star that is rare in a century, which do you think makes you more unacceptable?"

He thought hard for a moment and said, "The latter." ”

I nodded in agreement: "Anyone who saves his life in advance is not bad, not bad, and ambitious." ”

He looked at the mountains in the distance, his eyes stretched for a long time, and said, "Feelings can be cultivated in the future." ”

As I walked forward, the road in front of me was empty and straight, and the snow made me a little dizzy at night.

"That's what makes you different from that woman. The woman was a person who accepted death, and she felt that it didn't matter if she killed people, anyway, they were all man-made. The only thing she can't accept is that she can't decide her love. ”

The footsteps next to him stopped, and I noticed him stiffen and stand in place.

I let out a long sigh, my chest feeling hollowed. Turning to look at him, such a deep and handsome face in the night, every time I dream back at midnight, I have carved it thousands of times in my heart, imagining that if that person had not died in the distant Xiliang, he might have grown into this good-looking appearance now.

"General Yuwen, I should have thought it would be you. ”

I finally figured out the inexplicable familiarity I felt when I first met him. The person standing in front of me is the pride of the sky of the Great Zhou Dynasty and my next fiancé who everyone in Chang'an City has a premonition.

He looked at me, and my pale face was imprinted on my pale face.

"The ladies in Chang'an City are all outstanding, a hundred times better than my sick seedling. The general's injuries haven't healed yet, so he shouldn't come out to mess around with me, but he still has a heart. The ice lanterns are very beautiful, and I will send someone to thank you in a few days. ”

He pursed his lips and stared at me quietly, hoarse and hesitant for a while, but only asked, "Are you right......?" He, but there is still love?"

I nodded slightly, and nodded again. I don't know if he meant Chu Yang or his unrelated brother, but it didn't matter anymore.

He closed his eyes helplessly, like a sigh. I stood still like this, waiting for him to speak.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at me, his deep pupils like a bottomless vortex. He said, "It's snowing, let's go." ”

The clouds were getting lower and lower, obscuring the sky from the wind, and it was a blizzard again. The west wind is whistling by, and the snow in Chang'an this year is drier and longer than in previous years.

I took two steps, then fell back and said to him shyly, "Can you lend ......me your horse?"

Unexpectedly, he stepped forward a few steps, as sluggish as me, and before he could react, he had been driven on horseback in a whirlwind.

He scolded, and the steed led the two of us to the palace at a gallop.

When I turned around, through his broad chest, I saw that the towering walls of the Seibu Gate were gradually disappearing into the wind and snow, and countless exquisite ice lamps gathered into a spot of light, dim and miserable.

Nothing to say all the way.

When he stopped his steps, I came back to my senses and was at the door of my house.

I jumped down and stood in front of the gate of the Lingxi Palace, wondering if I should say something, when I looked up to find him on horseback, looking at me condescendingly. The darkness cast a shadow on his face, and there was no joy or anger to be seen.

"You ......"

"Drive!" Before he could say anything, he drove away on his horse, and his black figure melted into the snowy night.

I looked in the direction he was going and stood for a long time.

I don't know when, a silver rat hair came up from behind, I subconsciously tightened it, and sighed: "Did I hurt him?"

Zhizhi was behind me, held up a vermilion paper umbrella for me, and said, "Long pain is better than short pain." It is a matter of time before the emperor gives marriage, and if the princess refuses, she can only refuse as soon as possible...... It's just that...... The general...... He's a good guy. ”

Good. I couldn't help but smile and said, "There are too many good people now, but all I want for is a good person." ”

People love me, respect me, and fear me, all because of my identity and honor. For 18 years, I have been seeking a true feeling, but I have always been questioned at critical moments. I used to believe in the truth, but now I believe in fate.

After standing for a long time, I looked at the snow outside the umbrella, yawned, waved my hand and walked into the hall.

"Tossing for a night, this princess is very sleepy, tomorrow you are not allowed to come early to quarrel with me, you are all acting well today, why I shouted and no one answered me, is it someone in my palace? Recently, I have been napping after taking that medicine, my brain is confused, and I almost made a mistake, and when I am free, I will interrogate the old masters in the hospital......"

“……”

Years later, I will always think of this silent snowy night for no reason. I don't know what to say about it when I was still young, it has almost become my whole life.
