Chapter 123 A lifetime of tenderness, a cut of plums

The snow in Huawangdu always seems to come later than in other places. When Yuan Chengcheng and Huangfu said goodbye in the snow of Xiangguo at night, Huawang Palace ushered in the first snow.

Shangguan Jingxuan was cautious when Yuan Chengcheng was in Huawang Palace, and when she left, in order to avoid Yuan Xiao, who had long seen him unpleasantly, from being embarrassed again, Shangguan Jingxuan almost always kept his door closed, but this belated snow successfully attracted him out.

The luxury of the construction of Huawang Palace is beyond the reach of the royal palaces of various countries, it is like a treasure, which perfectly summarizes the dream of the world's people. Even the literati who are indifferent to fame and fortune will inevitably regenerate their greed when they arrive here, let alone those kings and politicians who have exhausted their organs all day. And it is precisely because it is remembered by so many people that the fiercest competition and disputes in the world must be related to it, if not happening here.

How many people have struggled all their lives just to get a chance to get a chance to sleep peacefully in the Huawang Palace, but no one can understand that in this gorgeous palace, there are many more bones in the struggle than the pillars of the Huawu, and the ghost cry of the soul of death is louder than the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra.

Shangguan Jingxuan has been looking for a kind of tranquility, but the infighting An Wang Palace refused to give him this opportunity, and the gorgeous Hua Wang Palace was a soft bed spread on the tip of the knife, so he didn't dare to slack off for a moment. Many times he is already close to despair, and he often thinks that maybe he will not be able to escape this fratricidal struggle in his life, or maybe he will have to fall into this silent smoke for the rest of his life.

But this sudden heavy snow faintly gave him some hope. The snow not only covered the prosperity of the royal family, but also dissipated the hustle and bustle of this earthly world. In this white world, there is no struggle, no assassination, only the calm and peace of this moment. He suddenly had an impulse to see Yuan Chengcheng immediately.

He loves Yuan Allure, but he has never been able to tell whether that love comes from his heart or the idea that his eldest brother has imposed on him since he was a child. The story of the Yuan sisters and their portraits have always accompanied him to grow up, so that he was determined that he must fall in love with her in this life before he met Yuan Chengcheng, but does he really love her?

Shangguan Jingxuan is not as bold as the martial arts general-born Huangfu Yehanai, once he is determined, he will not let anything be hindered and shaken, his scholarly background makes him have to have a cautious attitude towards everything Repeatedly consider and consider carefully, but no matter how his feelings for Yuan Chengcheng sway and hesitate, he can't change a fact, when he is lonely, he only thinks of her......

Just when Shangguan Jingxuan fell into a person's deep thought, he didn't see that there was actually another person who had been following behind him, looking at him silently, just as he often stood behind Yuan Chengcheng and looked at her silently.

Shangguan Jingxuan heard that there seemed to be a noise behind him, and subconsciously turned around. If Hongchan stood still at this time, the corner of the courtyard gate and the flowers covered with snow would definitely help her avoid his sight. But Hongchan saw him suddenly turn around, and her heart panicked, and she reflexively took a step back, which exposed her.

"Miss Hongchan?" Shangguan Jingxuan looked at her in surprise, he didn't expect that the person who followed him would be Hongchan, "Why are you here?" ”

"His Royal Highness Shangguan," Hongchan bowed respectfully, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, so that she didn't dare to look up at him: "The princess and princess just came with news that the matter on the Xiangguo side has been resolved, and she will be back soon......"

So she came to him to report the news? But he already knew the news yesterday. Shangguan Jingxuan didn't break her either: "Really? Xiangguo's matter was resolved much faster than I expected, and she will be able to come back in two days according to the itinerary, right? ”

"Yes, it's coming back." Hongchan's heart didn't know why there was a sudden bitterness, Yuan Chengcheng has always regarded her as her own sister, and she has always regarded Yuan Chengcheng as her sister, but I don't know when she faintly hoped that Yuan Chengcheng would never come back.

The two fell into an awkward silence, Shangguan Jingxuan thought about what he should say to break this strange atmosphere, but he couldn't find any topic for a while, and when he was anxious, he suddenly saw a new plum in the corner of the wall that had just bloomed two red stamens, and he immediately had an idea in his heart.

"Why—How did you come up with the idea of giving me plum blossoms?" Hongchan, who has always been calm and self-controlled, rarely stammered when she spoke, she took the flower from Shangguan Jingxuan's hand crampedly, and her panicked mood made her unable to figure out whether she was happy, surprised or sad for a while, and those red tape titles were left behind.

Shangguan Jingxuan couldn't say why, he just happened to see it, so he picked it up: "This ...... Jing Xuan just thinks that this plum blossom is very compatible with the girl, and when she sees the plum blossom, she will think of the girl, and when she sees the girl, she will also think of the plum blossom...... Don't you like it? He didn't think of this in advance, he thought that all women in the world liked to be sent flowers by others, but he looked at Hongchan's complicated face, and couldn't help but wonder if he was too reckless and sent the wrong person.

"No, no, I love it! I just ......" Hongchan clenched the plum blossom in her hand, her eyes were slightly moist, and she slowly explained the reason for a while, "I just remembered my mother, she was also the ...... who loved plum blossoms the most when she was alive"

"Your mother?" If Shangguan Jingxuan is not mistaken, she should have been an orphan since she was a child, her mother?

"Yes, my mother." These words, even Cao An Hongchan didn't mention them to him, but I don't know why, in the face of Shangguan Jingxuan, she suddenly had something to say in her heart for more than ten years**, "My mother died when I was very young, but I always remember that her favorite thing is plum blossoms, and the reason why she loves it the most is just because my father once broke a branch and gave it to her." ”

To this day, Hongchan can't help but feel sad when she thinks of what happened to her mother: "She loves my father so much that she loves him to the point of even losing her own life for him, but ...... But my father's love was not him, in my father's eyes she was just his maidservant. Even that plum blossom was actually intended to be given to his wife by his father, but it happened to be given to her, but she treated it as a treasure and never forgot it until she died. ”

Shangguan Jingxuan didn't speak, he also remembered his mother, Queen Huangfu, he was only eight years old when she died, although he wasn't sure if she had ever loved her father, but she cherished the things her father gave her, even if her father snubbed her because of her brother's affairs, which made her depressed, she still couldn't let go of those gadgets before she died. Isn't the queen mother's nostalgia for those things just like Hongchan's mother's complex for plum blossoms?
