Chapter 154: Worries are not extinguished
"It's been a year! It's been a whole year! Why is there still no news at all? Qinglin, do you think they are already married? She, will she never come back? ”
The light of the jade pot turns, the stars change, and it is another year of peach death. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the spring is sultry and swaying, no matter how chic the person who pours the cup is, he can't hide the lonely loneliness at the eyebrows and eyes.
Fengyue Hall is still as magnificent as it was at the beginning, and it is as dull and cold as it was at the beginning, everything seems to have not changed, except for a few more newly painted paintings in Chu Yanchen's study, except for a few peach trees in the courtyard of the window, and the imperial wine in Fengyue Hall is becoming more and more intoxicating.
"Your Royal Highness, Xiaoyue, she is playful by nature, she doesn't like to be restrained, and it is the first time she goes out of the palace to see anything, it is difficult to guarantee that she will be fascinated by those dazzling things for a while, but in this world, Xiaoyue is most concerned about His Highness, His Highness is here, Xiaoyue is naturally coming back!"
Since Hua Liyue left the palace and lost the news, the crown prince Chu Yanchen often sat alone under the flowers and drank to the moon, seemingly leisurely and elegant, but in fact, only Mu Qinglin, who was a close guard, knew that the prince's heart was too bitter. Thinking too hard, worrying too hard, hiding too hard, and enduring too hard.
Even if it has already hurt his heart, he still has to learn to smile lightly. Just like this, His Highness's eyes clearly welled up with tears, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he had to smile all over his face, and even his voice was deliberately low and low. This Fengyue Hall is full of eyeliner, there are Chu Emperor's, there are Lan Concubines, there are Zhong Mansion's, and there are other ambitious people.
Although His Royal Highness is the lord of the Fengyue Palace, he has always lived under the noses of others. Every move is watched by people, and every joy and anger are all in the eyes of people. In such a difficult situation, you need to wear a usual mask and hide all your feelings, but you can't extinguish the lovesickness that penetrates the bones, and you can't get rid of the jealousy that pierces the marrow.
Mu Qinglin is the small forest in the original imperial dining room. Since Hua Liyue went to the Changtian Palace, Chu Yanchen sent him to his side as a close guard. For more than a year, he has been abiding by his duties and being loyal to his duties, and he can be regarded as a person who can speak beside Chu Yanchen.
"Concerned? If she was really concerned about this palace, why didn't she refuse to come back until now? Why don't you let this palace know where you are now? And why do I have to be with that person to make me so uncomfortable? Care? She was afraid that she would have forgotten me long ago, or she would have cruelly made up her mind to leave me. She has always been ruthless, knowing my intentions, but still pushing me to others again and again. She has always been ruthless, and she has made up her mind to leave from the beginning, even when she promised me that she would never give up, it has not changed over the years, but Qinglin, what should I do if she leaves? What am I going to do? I can't stay, I can't give up, what should I do? ”
A drop of clear tears slipped silently and fell into the filled jade cup, and drank with the floating peach petals. Chu Yanchen half-closed his eyes, and his eyes were full of sadness.
Care? That was all before! Now, where does she still care about him? first abandoned her outside the Shang study, and then chased her from the long palace. He was already so mean to her, so why did she care. After all, he didn't treat her as well as Chu Yunchen, at least Chu Xiaochen could do his best to protect her, but he chose to ignore it.
After all, he still chose the same path as Huang Li, playing himself as a coward and humble, and he could even sell his soul in order to climb to that position. He didn't know how he did it, he just felt as if he was dead, his soul was pulled from his body, his flesh and sinew were sliced away, and his blood was dried up little by little.
Every day is so difficult, how many times he almost can't persevere, but he can't give up. If he gave up the bento and really had nothing, he would have promised everything to Hua Liyue, even if it was not what she wanted, but it was what he wanted to give her the most.
"Your Highness, you are drunk! Your subordinates will help you go back to rest! ”
Mu Qinglin sighed, who in the Daxing Dynasty didn't know that Zhong Xinyao, the daughter of the Zhong Mansion, was the love of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he really couldn't answer those words, so he could only pretend that he had never heard them.
"Yes! Hongu is indeed drunk! If you weren't drunk, how could you say these things to you? ”
Chu Yanchen may be really drunk, otherwise how could he use "Bengong" for a while and "I" for a while? Although Chu Yanchen's alcohol consumption has always been very good, and he didn't drink as much tonight as usual, he was too affectionate and too intentional, and the wine was not intoxicating, but he was drunk himself.
"Don't be intoxicating tonight!"
Seeing that Chu Yanchen waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to help, Mu Qinglin had no choice but to use peach blossoms and moonlight to exonerate.
"The moonlight is not as usual, and the peach blossoms are as usual. The intoxicating ones are not here! ”
Chu Yanchen raised his lips and smiled, and his slender and smooth fingertips stroked the slightly cool strings. Peach blossoms in March, fragrant grass. In the rain of flowers, the scene of you leaning on my back and plucking the strings comfortably seems to be yesterday. Now that the peach blossoms are blooming again, the flowers are dawning, and we have been separated for a year. But why haven't you come back? Do you really want to go with him, don't you want me?
"Hua Liyue, I'm really afraid that you won't come back, if you don't come back on your own, I have to ??????"
Chu Yanchen raised his lips and smiled bitterly, Hua Liyue, why can't you come back by yourself, can't you come back by yourself because of me? Jin Xi is very good, but is it because of him, do you want to abandon me? If that's the case, why was it so good to me in the first place, and why did it make me so afraid of losing you?
"Three days later, it will be my father's 40th birthday. Hua Liyue, no matter what, I must let you come back, come back for me! ”
Thoughts are like flying flowers, but in the blink of an eye, I don't know where they have gone. Chu Yanchen sighed faintly in his heart, Hua Liyue will never let go of you in this life, even if I die, I will drag you to hell together. We must be together, no matter what!
Mu Qinglin looked at the man who closed his eyes and stroked the piano under the peach blossom tree from afar, the flowers were quietly covering his body, how amazing he was, and in a few years, he was afraid that no one would be able to match his elegance.
There were three or two footsteps in the northwest corner, and Mu Qinglin raised his eyes to see the leading female official of the Shangyi Bureau with two palace maids coming towards them.
"I don't know if my aunt came late at night, what's the matter?"
Knowing that Chu Yanchen Fuqin didn't like to be disturbed the most, Mu Qinglin took the lead to greet him.
"Guard Mu, this is the dance costume that His Highness ordered the Shangyi Bureau to cut for Miss Zhong before, and the official specially sent it to His Highness to take a look at after the work was completed."
The leading female official can be regarded as an old man in the palace, knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer what it used to be, and her instructions to him are more careful than those in other palaces.
"There's Aunt Lao!"
Hearing this, Mu Qinglin glanced at the tray in the hands of the two palace maids, and the tray contained a hundred butterfly dance clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads. This dance costume was specially ordered by Chu Yanchen to be cut by the Shangyi Bureau for Zhong Xinyao's performance at Emperor Chu's birthday banquet three days later, but it can be regarded as something that Chu Yanchen is concerned about, but now that the sound of the piano has not stopped, Mu Qinglin does not dare to say more.
A group of people waited quietly, and only when the last note was dissipated, and saw that the jade-like finger bones stopped on the strings, they heard Chu Yanchen speak.
"Qinglin, you go to Zhongfu and hand over the dance clothes to ??????"
"That's it, let's go to the palace in person!"
Chu Yanchen raised his eyes and saw that the night was like a curtain, and the moon was cold, so he slowly hooked the corners of his mouth. Three days, and three days to see the person who thinks about it day and night again.
In the Qianji Hall of Moqing Gate, Meng Yuling stood by the window in a crescent-colored robe, and the entrance was a delicate begonia. The flowers are gorgeous, but there is no fragrance when you smell them.
"Still haven't found anything?"
Meng Yuling raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gui Wan, who was hidden in the shadows, as if he had already guessed that there would be such a result early in the morning.
"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the door master!"
When I returned to the evening, I hugged my fists and accepted the guilt, I really can't understand how a good person can say that he will disappear if he doesn't see it? It's been a whole year, and there hasn't been even a trace of it, and it's really terrifying to think about it.
"That's it, it's long overdue! Emperor Chu is suspicious and calculating, if he is willing to let someone go, he will definitely not worry about that person not returning, especially if that person is still Jin Xi! He has promised Jin a year in the past, and he must have enough self-confidence. I don't know what handle Jin Xi grabbed to be so sure. He probably didn't send anyone to find Jin Xi at all, and you will naturally return in vain if you follow this line. ”
Meng Yuling's voice was clear and light, and he couldn't hear any mood. Guiwan lowered his head in shame when he heard it, he wanted to borrow the hands of others to get twice the result with half the effort, but who knew that the result was unexpected. He only knew that Emperor Chu had a grudge against Jin Xi, and he promised him a one-year period on the surface, but secretly he must have made some moves, who knew that it was the unfathomable sacred heart, and Emperor Chu really deserved to be notoriously capricious.
"The year is coming to an end, and it's time for them to come back. In three days, it will be the 40th birthday of Emperor Chu, and I am afraid that there will be a good show in the palace at that time. The two sisters and brothers of the Wen family have entered the palace? ”
There's nothing more fun than watching a fire from across the river. If there is a fire at the city gate, the fish in the pond will be affected, and it may not be impossible to take advantage of the fire to rob at that time.
The Wen family sisters and brothers refer to the two of them, Wen Wuwu and Wen Wuxi. Since ancient times, the court has been inextricably linked with the rivers and lakes, and the current Chu Emperor is forced to rely on the forces of the rivers and lakes because of the situation of the Chinese and military rivalries.
Cangyue Pavilion and Moqingmen have always been the Taishan Beidou in the rivers and lakes, and they are naturally the objects of attraction by all forces. However, the ancestor of the Moqing Sect had the rules first, and he did not involve the court or the party dispute, so Emperor Chu had no choice but to turn his attention to the Cangyue Pavilion.
When Emperor Chu was still the prince, he had gone incognito into the Cangyue Pavilion to learn art, and now he wants to be a thoughtful person like Emperor Chu, but I am afraid that at that time, he will have paved the way for his own plans.
It is ridiculous that although the Chu Emperor ascended to the throne in one fell swoop with the power of the rivers and lakes, the dragon chair has not been done safely, just because of the turbulent situation in the DPRK and China, and the competition between civil and military officials, the Chu Emperor did not correct the root causes, and only cared about favoring the rivers and lakes more and more, and even did not hesitate to design courtiers. In fact, such a Daxing dynasty is not far from decline and destruction.
