Chapter 9: The Change of the East Palace 5

The small sandalwood table in the room was already prepared with the costume of the dancing girl, and the almost extravagant magnificence was especially conspicuous in the dim light. She unfolded gently, it was a water-colored lotus skirt, the edge outlined with gold thread was like a ripple in the clear pool, and the complicated patterns were closed along the waist into a blooming manzhu sawa, which made the waist even more exquisite, and there was a different kind of exquisite beauty. The top is a pearl white sleeveless shirt lined with snow fox fleece from neck to shoulder.

Qingluan was immediately stunned by this overly gorgeous dress, she reached out to caress it, the delicate silk was completely different from the fabric on her body, and the texture of the silk was like the foam rising from the deep sea, and it was like the skin of a young woman who could be blown and broken.

She was imagining such a grand New Year's festival scene when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. At this time, it was past the end of the day, and most of the people in the palace had already rested. Qingluan listened sideways for a while, making sure that the extremely soft sound came from outside his room, before he spoke, "Who is it?" ”

Suddenly there was silence.

The visitor did not reply, but the woman's heart suddenly hanged. Visiting late at night, I'm afraid it's also an uninvited guest. Thinking of what I saw during the day, a cold current spread throughout my body.

After a while, there was another knock at the door, and this time I was finally sure that the person who had come was indeed outside my door. Although he was a little worried, Qingluan was more annoyed by playing tricks like this. Expecting that in Chaofeng Palace, no matter how bold she was, she would not dare to come nonsense, she took a deep breath, came to the door on tiptoe, and suddenly opened the wooden bolt.

The night sky is as calm as water. The white moonlight sprinkled under his feet seemed to shatter a piece of fine silver, and the palace was silent, and there was no half a figure in front of him, let alone someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Qingluan did not feel relaxed by the emptiness, but became more vigilant. Although I have never believed in the rumors of unjust souls in the palace, but when I think about it at this time, my scalp is indeed a little numb. She closed her eyes tightly, muttering a spell that she didn't know where she was looking, but she took two tentative steps forward.

His forehead seemed to touch something solid.

She raised her face tremblingly, but saw the man smiling like a silver moon. In that trance, it seemed that the heavens and the earth had lost their original clarity, and the sky was changing thousands of times, but the flood of time suddenly fell on this glimpse. It is suspected that the moonlight has become the white clothes in front of him, so quiet and peaceful.

She forgot to be angry, and just looked up stupidly, trying to reach out but touching the unreal apparition.

"What, it really scared you?"

But it wasn't a conjecture, he was asking himself in a tentative tone.

"Son!" The woman who came back to her senses screamed in surprise, and before she could ask anything, the next moment she was covered by a thick palm on her lips. Touching his slightly cold breath, Qingluan only felt that his face was heating up rapidly.

Fortunately, the violinist didn't notice, just looked around slightly, and whispered, "Let's go, take you to a good place." Without saying anything, he took the woman's palm and walked towards a wider place.

The freshly snowed ground was exceptionally slippery and smelled damp. Qingluan cautiously followed his steps, only to feel that the road under his feet was as light as a floating cloud, the wind was hunting in his ears, and his broad and powerful hands held himself tightly, so that he felt that no matter how fast he walked, he would not fall.

The white clothes are flying, and the black hair is fluttering. The brilliant light under the neon lights made everything in front of him so blurred, but the long figure of the man could be clearly seen, passing through the palaces, walking down the lengthy white jade steps, and flying through the vast world.

She had never looked forward to a longer journey, a longer journey, and no end in sight.

I didn't know how long I walked, but I went all the way to the back garden of the Taihe Palace. Zichen used his hand to remove the dead branches near the rockery to cover the road, and the outline of the boulder in front of him gradually became clear, as neat and orderly as a staircase, leading straight to a relatively flat stone platform behind the eaves. Because the Taihe Hall is rarely opened, the back garden is even more unattended, and there are towering ridges and layers of tree branches in front of it, which makes it extremely hidden.

The two climbed to the platform one after the other, and the man swept the snow off the ground at will, took off the thick mink on his shoulders and spread it on it, and motioned for Qingluan to sit down. The woman didn't twist and pushed, and sat side by side with him, and the starry sky was like a dream in front of her.

She had never seen the stars at such an angle, and for a moment she was slightly surprised, and the bright spot of intuition seemed to be within reach, and the night softened. Qingluan thought about it, took the green flute from his waist and handed it to his ministers.

"If Childe doesn't dislike it, play a tune to listen to."

The pianist took the bamboo flute with a smile, but his expression was preoccupied. After a while, a distant tune rose from his mouth, ethereal and ethereal, but ethereal as water. For some reason, the stars were so bright that they seemed to erase the brilliance of the moon. Qingluan held her cheeks and squinted her eyes, enjoying this hard-won leisure.

Although it was a winter night, I didn't feel a trace of cold, I only felt that my heart was hot, like a small stove hidden. The sound of the flute always lingers in my ears, curling like a heavenly sound. It is as if you have returned to your childhood, sitting on the top of a mountain full of wild flowers, blowing a familiar melody, and you can revel in the vastness of heaven and earth.

I don't know how long later, I was suddenly woken up by the man, only to find that I had unknowingly fallen asleep on his shoulder. She smiled, it turned out that she had deep trust in him. This kind of thing, called affection, is spreading rapidly at an invisible rate.

"Now, here we go."

Looking in the direction of the man's finger, a streamer of light pierced the sky and fell on the distant horizon at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch, and it only took a moment for the brilliant gold to take on a beautiful color, like an epiphany blooming.

Qingluan's eyes widened in disbelief, but the night sky quickly flashed another streamer as if in response to her.

"Meteor...... Zichen, it's a shooting star! Carried away with joy, the woman suddenly got up, her eyes shining.

A ......

Another ......

The meteors that had been coming and going suddenly increased, and they crossed the sky one after another, leaving traces of the most beautiful with a resolute attitude. The royal blue night sky seemed to be dotted with strange gems, and wisps of golden light shone throughout the night.

It was a picture that will never be forgotten.

She had never seen or imagined that there could be such a beautiful thing in this damp and dark place. If she could, she would only like to stop at this moment, at the moment when she grasped the man's palm and looked up at the night sky.

"What a brilliant ......" seemed to mumble to himself, but he couldn't help but sigh.

"Meteors."

"Hmm. Zichen, do you know the way, if I can, I also hope that I am a shooting star, even if my life is short and fleeting, but I can live my own splendor. ”

The pianist looked at her focused expression, but he didn't say anything, his face was as calm as a lake, and he smiled generously for a long time: "I didn't know that Miss Qingluan had such a lofty hope." However, if you want to become a queen and have a glorious life, it is indeed every woman's wish. ”

"You're mistaken." For some reason, seeing his impenetrable eyes, the woman was a little anxious, and even she couldn't tell why she couldn't wait to explain to him. "Even though Qingluan wants to have a perfect life, it is not such a luxury of fine clothes and food. I just want to spend the remaining years safely, return to my hometown, and find someone who loves me to spend the rest of my life with. ”

"We'll have one or two children working on a rice field in the endless mountains. Idle clouds and wild cranes, cars and horses light dust, sit and watch the clouds roll up, away from all the hustle and bustle and world disputes. Qingluan will teach her husband and children with peace of mind, let them read and read, but do not take the test to gain fame. What I want is really simple, just ......" she smiled, and there was a lot of forbearance and helplessness in her eyes. "It's just that I'm afraid I won't find someone like that."

"Yes." The deep voice sounded again, and although the tone was light, there was an unmistakable firmness, "No matter how long it takes, no matter what time it is, the one who loves you will be waiting for you on the path you must pass." At the ends of the earth, as long as you are willing to believe, someone will give you a comforting future. ”

She froze in place, her eyes fluctuating slightly, glowing with a subtle light. I obviously wanted to laugh, but I couldn't hold back the tears. Fang Cai just said those words in a hot head, but he didn't want to get this response.

At that moment, I just felt that any pain would be passed, and I could endure anything. Push back the clouds and see the sun, the sun she wants may be seen in one night. Qingluan bit her lip and wanted to say something, but she was afraid that tears would fall as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Leave this flute with me." The man didn't seem to notice the change in her expression, just looked straight ahead, but his gaze softened. "In the future, if there is anything to do, look for me in the Imperial Garden, and I will always be there. You also have to have the courage to live well and unswervingly for the sake of hope. ”
