Chapter 21: Before the Flower and Under the Moon

For a long time after that, Li Muer and Zhu Youzhu fell into an embarrassing situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Li Muer didn't remember what she said when she was drunk, she remembered what Zhu Youzhu did for her.

It's false to say that she is not moved, everyone can see that Zhu Youzhu is very good to her.

It's been superb.

As for Zhu Youji, she remembered every word she said.

It's not so much embarrassing, it's more like they have a different kind of affection in each other's hearts, and no one wants to expose it.

Just like at this moment, Li Mu'er was sorting out the folding, Zhu Youzhu suddenly reached out to take it, didn't pay attention to it twice, and touched the back of his hand slightly.

Both faces immediately turned red.

Fortunately, Zheng Jinlian came into the hall with lotus seed soup, bowed her head and called: "Your Majesty, the heat has passed, but the sun is still very spicy, drink a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup to relieve the heat." ”

"Oh. Okay. Zhu Youzhu took it urgently.

"Yes, the weather is so strange this year, it's going to be autumn and it's still so hot." Li Mu'er smiled sullenly, and said to Zhu Youji, "The emperor only cares about himself to cool off, and the ministers also have to ask Sister Jin Lian to ask for this iced lotus seed soup to drink." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhu said: "If you want to drink it, you can call it white fungus boil, and the ice cubes can go to the royal prison." ”

Li Mu'er's face turned red again, but this time she was angry. I don't know when it started, as long as she asked Zheng Jinlian for food and drink, she was always interrupted and refused by him.

I'm so stingy!

Zheng Jinlian took the bowl and retreated expressionlessly, and Li Muer looked at her back, always feeling a sense of gloom. I remember that after calling her sister that day, the two never had a chance to chat privately.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Muer always feels that Zheng Jinlian is avoiding her and doesn't want to be close to her.

Li Mu'er turned around and was about to open her mouth to complain, but Zhu Youzhu suddenly handed over a tooth tag in front of her eyes. The tooth plate is rectangular and flat, with a tether on it and a spikelet hanging on the bottom. There is a column of small characters engraved on it: with the suspension of this card to enter and exit the four gates of the imperial city.

Isn't this a credential for entering and leaving the court?

Li Mu'er was afraid that he would regret it, so she snatched it and said, "With this tooth card, I can go out of the palace at will?" ”

"Of course, you can't be arbitrary, you have to go to the Shanggong Bureau to register for the record." Zhu Youzhu replied, and suddenly smiled again, "The most important thing is that you have my permission." ”

"You're not afraid of me running away?" Li Mu'er shook the tooth card in his hand.

Zhu Youzhu pretended to frown, and made a gesture to snatch back the tooth card, forcing her to take a step back before she spoke: "I'm afraid, but your matter hasn't been done yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to drive you away." ”

Li Mu'er sneered, quickly put away the sign, and said, "Next month, I'm going to go out, okay?" ”

Zhu Youzhu immediately asked, "Where to go?" ”

"Go to my brother's house and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is also lively in the palace, why go out?"

Li Mu'er said in a wistful tone: "The excitement in the palace is yours, not mine." You accompany your queen, I don't have a family, and my brother is also alone, so I can have a companion. ”

Seeing her like this, Zhu Youzhi felt bad in his heart, so he had to agree: "Okay, I will only allow you to go out for a few hours, and you must come back before the palace gate is keyed." ”

Li Mu'er was excited, and made a big salute and said: "Minister, thank the emperor for his permission!" ”

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The palace also has to carry out the ritual of worshiping the moon and worshiping the moon, and the palace people are busy early in the morning. Zhu Youzhu still went to the morning and noon as usual, and even spoke more seriously on the day of the feast than before, as if this day had nothing to do with him. Li Mu'er followed and ran to several places, recording and sorting out his remarks, until the sun was about to set in the evening, and he was free.

After completing the formalities, he returned to his residence and drank a glass of water, Li Mu'er called for white fungus, changed into palace clothes, and prepared to go out happily.

When passing by the Qianqing Palace, she paused somehow, and a thought flashed in her mind, wanting to see what Zhu Youzhu was doing again.

So he told Tremella to wait, and went into the nave himself.

As soon as he stepped in, he found that Zhu Youzhu was still sitting on the throne watching the recital.

Li Mu'er was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not early, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor should not be too busy with government affairs." Queen, she is still waiting for the emperor in Kunning Palace. ”

Zhu Youji saw that Li Mu'er was wearing a simple short coat and horse-faced skirt, and was standing at the entrance of the hall bent over. The setting sun was on her back, and the shadows on the ground were getting more and more oblique.

Looks like it's going to be night.

He put down the post in his hand, smiled and said, "You go out of the palace quickly, it's dark and the road is not easy to walk." I'll leave after reading this. ”

Li Mu'er looked at him deeply, didn't hesitate, and left without looking back.

The outside of the palace is really lively!

Li Mu'er has always enjoyed wandering the streets freely. I thought that as soon as it was dark, the people must have gone home for reunion, but the streets were still full of people and traffic. Some people are hurrying home, some are still busy doing business, some people meet with friends to gather in the downtown area to admire the moon, and some people go to the high place of the restaurant in the city.

Li Mu'er and Tremella went shopping for a long time, bought some moonshine paper and moon cakes, and then followed the route Qian Fu said to find the destination.

After searching for a long time, he finally saw Qian Fu, who was looking outside the door, and saw Li Mu'er hurriedly running over, and said with a smile: "Sister Yingzhong, I will not come when you are not here, the wine is ready, if you don't come, my brother will drink alone until dawn." ”

Li Mu'er hurriedly said, "Brother, isn't Yingzhong here, why don't you invite us in!" ”

"Okay, please come in, please come in! Today, we invite the wine to the moon, and we will definitely drink without getting drunk and not returning! Qian Fu said and went through the door first, and turned sideways at the door to invite them in.

Whitefungus giggled: "Zhuangyuanlang is so polite! Who knew that when he stumbled under his feet, he was about to fall, but fortunately, Qian Fu was quick and grabbed her, causing Whitefungus to shyly stick out his tongue and thank him again and again.

After the two entered the hospital, they were very pious, and they seemed to worship the moon, burned the moonshine paper, and then sat down to drink with Qian Fu.

Li Mu'er asked Qian Fu while biting on a moon cake: "Does my brother have a wife?" ”

Qian Fu couldn't stop drinking as soon as he drank, and replied with a smile: "I have never married a wife." How? Sister Yingzhong promises your brother? ”

Li Mu'er dusted off the crumbs that fell on her body, her heart was depressed for a while, and she lowered her head and said:

"It's not that my brother doesn't know that Yingzhong has no sisters, she is alone, and she can't be reunited with her family anymore."

Tremella patted her hand beside her, "Sister, don't say that, you still have me!" Tremella regards her sister as a family member, and if you can enjoy the moon and drink with you today, it will be a reunion! ”

Qian Fu also hurriedly followed: "But no, Yingzhong don't want to add sadness in vain, you have my brother, and you have such a lovely sister as white fungus, how can you be lonely?" ”

Li Mu'er raised her head to look at the two, laughed, and raised her glass: "That's right!" Our three brothers and sisters are each other's family, heaven and earth are for example, and the bright moon is for proof! ”

The three of them clinked glasses, Qian Fu took the lead in drinking, and laughed heartily: "Okay, good, Qian Fu went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he sought fame and fortune, but I didn't expect to have two more sisters, and all the good things in the world let me meet!" ”

"Zhuang Yuanlang's temperament is not like a literati and ink writer, like a ......" Tremella drank the wine, and his face turned red.

"Like what?" Qian Fu and Li Mu'er asked together.

"Battlefield General!"

Qian Fu smiled even more heartily, "White fungus, don't call me Zhuangyuanlang anymore." From now on, I will also be your brother, and I will punish you if I make a mistake! ”

"That's right, this is our home, there is no champion in the family, no female bachelors, no palace maids, only family!"

"Yes! Silver fungus respects my brother and sister! ”

Silver Ear grinned, and the voice of the laugh was as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell, which contrasted with Qian Fu's boldness.

When the full moon was in the sky, Li Mu'er felt that her heart was full of joy and clarity at this moment, and all the sorrow and tiredness melted into the bright moonlight and sincere laughter.

The three of them were chatting about their lives and drinking happily when there was a sudden knock on the door. On the night of family reunion, who will come to find Qian Fu?

Li Mu'er and Yin'er looked at each other suspiciously, but Qian Fu smiled and went to open the door, saying as he walked, "There is also a distinguished guest who has arrived." ”

When someone came in the door, Li Mu'er exclaimed: "Brother Cong! ”

Ma Cong does not wear official uniforms, less martial arts, but more elegant.

He stared at Li Mu'er and smiled, "I knew that you were here today, and after the reunion dinner at home, I rushed here." ”

Qian Fu coughed lightly and took advantage of the situation and said, "Yingzhong, this wine is here today, Brother Ma Xian is going to take us to a good place." ”

This is all Brother Ma Xian, it seems that the two must have a personal relationship. Li Mu'er thought like this in her heart, and felt even more warm, so she got up and said, "Where is Brother Cong taking us?" It's a great place, but don't disappoint. ”

Ma Cong had arranged for the carriage to wait at the door, talking and laughing all the way, and it was a matter of moments.

After getting out of the carriage, Li Mu'er and the others really had their eyes falling out.

The hosta flowers all over the ground are as white as jade, and the buds are like hairpins, which is simply fascinating.

Qian Fu walked to the side, and the white fungus pulled Li Mu'er forward to look at it.

Li Mu'er smelled the fragrance of the bushes, looked back at Ma Cong, who was standing a few steps away and watching her, and the past in her heart appeared dottedly.

Once upon a time, she went to Baoguo Temple with him to enjoy the begonias, she said that although the begonias are beautiful, they are too enchanting, not as good as her favorite hosta flowers. He found this sea of flowers for her, put this hosta flower for her, and promised her to bring her to enjoy the flowers every year.

Between her and him, there are too many memories, too many pasts.

This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.

Ma Cong approached Li Mu'er step by step.

The wind blew through the fragrance of flowers, and Li Muer stood in a daze.

Ma Cong's face was close in front of him.

In this hosta flower all over the ground, it looks particularly graceful.

He casually folded one of them, inserted them into her sideburns, and said lightly: "I thought that I would come here alone again this year to enjoy the flowers." ”

I thought that after that, every year was similar, but that person would never appear again.

I thought that I could only miss it in this life.

But now she is back, standing alive in front of her, as before, before the moon.

He couldn't afford to lose her again.

The white hosta flower was cold and attached to Li Mu'er's ear, but her eyebrows and eyes were almost wet, she hurriedly took a step back and said, "Brother Cong, I have to go back to the palace, if the palace gate is keyed, it will be troublesome." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly grabbed the white fungus and fled.

The moon is full in the sky, and the silver light is rippling. imagined an incomparably beautiful night, but Ma Cong could only look at her back and laugh at herself.
