The emperor smiled softly at Shu E and slowly stretched out his hand.

Shu E's heart was pounding, and she didn't understand what the emperor meant, but her hands went back a little bit.

The emperor saw Shu E's nervousness and vigilance, and said with a smile: "Give me the veil, worship Kuixing here." ”

Shu E raised her head in surprise and asked, "Bai Kuixing?" ”

"My only son is here in Chongwen Pavilion at the moment, just to worship Kuixing." The emperor smiled.

Shu E said: "Kuixing, is it the god Zitong [note]?" ”

The emperor nodded and said: "Kui Xing dominates the rise and fall of the article, and it was originally Kui Xing in the twenty-eight constellations, also known as 'Wenchang Xing', that is, the god of Zitong. The Han people say 'Kui Lord Article', and today is also Kuixing's birthday, so the world's scholars worship Kuixing under the moon tonight. ”

Shu E presented her embroidered handkerchief to the emperor with both hands, and said with a smile: "Ling Yan's heroes have few colors, and the general has a new pen [Note]." Today, I worship Wen Changxing with embroidery, but I don't know if this Kui Xing will be angry? ”

It turned out that this was the Chongwen Pavilion, where the emperor hid books in the Yujin Garden. The backyard of Chongwen Pavilion is where the emperor reads books every day.

Kui Xingye had red eyebrows and blue faces, and his expression was very hideous and terrifying. Shu E didn't dare to take a closer look, so she only burned incense in front of the incense case and bowed respectfully three times.

Shu E held the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, but saw the emperor lift the palace lamp and said, "Let's go." ”

Shu E wanted to take the lantern, but the emperor had already turned around and went first. Shu E followed behind the emperor, not understanding what the emperor meant, and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty ......"

The emperor looked back and smiled: "I'll send you." ”

In the Chongwen Pavilion, Quan Fu said to Xiao Ningzi: "Wait a while, you will dismiss the guards, and you will go back by yourself first." ”

Xiao Ningzi asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Quanfu's face sank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I like to ask more and more." Then he smiled gently: "I naturally went with the emperor." ”

Xiao Ningzi bowed to see him off, while Quanfu carried the lamp and walked out of the hall slowly.

When Shu E heard the emperor's words, she only felt that her breath was slightly suffocated, and for a while she seemed to have a thousand words, but she couldn't say a word.

The figure of the emperor is handsome and upright.

Above him was an endless sky of stars.

The stars are twinkling, and the night breeze carries the summer heat that has not been exhausted during the day, and the warm wind is steaming the moon season of the roadside of Yujin Garden, and the fragrance of flowers floats everywhere.

It seems to be a mood that I have never felt in my life, nervous, panicked, grateful, elated, and overwhelmed. Lingering around the fingers is the handkerchief embroidered with bamboo leaves, the embroidery is not good, but it is a stitch and a thread, all exhausted. I haven't seen each other for half a year, except for a letter from Master Cao, there is no news.

There have been twists and turns in the marriage contract with the second girl of the Shang family, and now it is finally stable. But I have never heard of all these things with my own ears. Only on that day from Shangcai and Sister-in-law He, I saw some clues, and now, it is already calm and calm, and everyone is happy.

The third young master Rannuo gave her a name, gave her warmth, gave her protection, gave her fantasies, and all of this, after Shu'e entered the palace, became endless concern and lovesickness, endless and reluctance. Because of the young master, he didn't give her a promise.

Even if you tell yourself how many times you tell yourself that the young master is happy, it's fine.

But what about happiness? Fortunately or unfortunately, he never told me a word.

Shu'e has no way to give herself an explanation, no way to give herself a comfort, think about it, it's just that sentence, I, Cao Shu'e, what is it?

Cao Li's name is fake, and the identity of the girl of the Cao family is fake. The attendant lady of the royal county is also fake.

So what is Shu'e after all these illusions?

I, Cao Shu'e, am just a maid beside the young master. After serving the young master, there are still five days and less than half a year to serve the maid. And in less than half a year, because he knew that he wanted to enter the palace instead of Shuyan, he had always lived in a strange place, gathering less and leaving more.

But what Shu'e is greedy for is the unexpected heartbeat in that short period of time, as well as the once short-term peace and happiness. All of this has now become a reluctant concern.

It seems to have returned to the time in the mansion, the young master walked in front, and Shu'e followed behind. Just follow the young master, no matter where he goes. Because where the young master is, it is where Shu E's heart is.

The young master knocked over the teacup in Shu E's hand, and the young master wrote the word "Shu E" on the paper.

The young master returned to the leisurely residence drunk, and the young master looked down at Shu E and read such a poem.

Before going out at sunset, look forward to seeing the degree. Yerong has many sideburns, and the fragrance has been condensed.

The young master held Shu E's hand and asked her softly, what about the next two sentences?

The handkerchief in his hand was pulled tighter and tighter, and his fingers could clearly feel the pattern of the bamboo leaves embroidered on the handkerchief.

In the last two sentences, Shu E sighed, if it was read out at that time, would today's scene be different?

No, it won't. Shu E shook her head gently. The recognition of his grandfather is accompanied by the clarity of his own life experience. The young master and himself are still cousins and sisters.

It's just that my father was given to die, and my mother was martyred. The family is broken, and she is just the daughter of a criminal minister. All the extravagant hopes are to be able to stay incognito and serve by the young master's side forever.

The first snow of winter, around the charcoal stove, carrying clumsy needles and threads, sewing bed clothes for the young master.

At the beginning of the heavy snow last winter, Shu E picked bamboo leaves for the young master in the small bamboo forest. The snow fell on the green bamboo, as if the heart at that time was clear and only the white frost of the green leaves was left.

The young master stepped on the snow, trimmed his eyebrows and starry eyes, and stood tall and jade, which was hoped by the world and the world, like jade. The warmth of the copper hand furnace melted the ice and frost and snow of the entire world world in that instant. always thought that that moment was eternal, but who knew that at that moment, something happened in Cao's mansion.

Shuyan is pregnant, and the news came so suddenly. However, at that time, he never thought that this change was related to the fortune of his life.

The wife grabbed her hand, and the lady looked at her face. The wife's panicked eyes and tear-wet cheeks were all smiling for a moment.

What awaits me is those two sharp and cold words, a physical examination.

At that time, I was still an ignorant girl. I don't know what kind of humiliation and insidiousness are in these two words. It was the third young master, who stretched out his arms to separate himself from his wife, and it was the third young master, who resolutely stood in front of him.

Yun has no intention to come out. Shu E read silently.

If it weren't for that kind of change, at this moment, I would definitely still be by the young master's side.

The handkerchief was released from between his fingers, and the jade fingers involuntarily stretched to the back of his head, but at the moment when he was about to touch the hairpin, a burst of irrepressible hot flashes welled up in both eyes.

Lilac's words came to his ears little by little, why has it been so long, so long, pinching the time to look at the hourglass, and have survived for so long, but there is not even a little news.

"Ah......h

Shu E suddenly exclaimed in a low voice and hurriedly raised her head.

【Note】Zitong God: Scholars believe that the Zitong God was originally a popular snake god and thunder god in Zitong in northern Sichuan, and later merged with the loyal minister "Zhang Yu" who fought against Fu Jian in the Jin Dynasty and was martyred, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was transformed into a god who blessed students in Sichuan and went well in the exam. Wenchang was named the emperor, and also known as the emperor of Zitong, when it was the time of Yuan Renzong. In the third year of Yuanrenzong's Yanyou (1316), he named the god Zitong as "Emperor Hongren of Fuyuan Kaihua Wenchang Silu Hongren". The god Zitong and the god of Wenchang are combined into one god.
