The forty-fourth episode of the snowy night is cold and snowy, and the snow is warm after dusk
Snowflakes drift quietly in the air. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sky without wind is exceptionally pure and rendered by snowflakes. It's a clear blue, with the occasional hint of sunshine. The weather was dry and cold, but at this time there was joy inside and outside the imperial city. Fu Haoxue, the county lord of Shu, was sent to Kyoto to become the empress of Chu Yunhong.
Isn't it Haoxue's long-standing wish, she is happy to marry Chu Yunhong. This man who is four years younger than himself gave himself the most real warmth on the cold night of last year. And my father will also get special treatment in Shu.
At that time, Haoxue thought. There is no man in the world who treats himself so sincerely. Although he betrayed Chu Yunhong at the beginning, he almost put Donglu in danger. There was also the assassin in the twilight of autumn, but Chu Yunhong tolerated himself with a tolerant heart.
When she sat in the carriage, Haoxue felt extremely happy. The last time she came all the way to see Chu Yunhong, she had been nervous. was afraid that Chu Yunhong would punish him, but later found out that he only had a tender affection for himself. After letting Haoxue go home, she was secretly happy for several days.
Soon, however, this sweetness and joy became strange after entering the dormitory. It's not that she doesn't know that she is a woman from Shu. Originally, the candidate for the queen was a woman from Chen Guo, because the queen mother was also from Chen Guo. and the original princess of Xirong, Mu Qingluan.
At that time, she thought that as long as Chu Yunhong cared about herself. No matter how many concubines he canonized, Haoxue didn't care. However, Haoxue forgot that the first task of the marriage between the two countries was the first priority. In fact, it is still based on power, and emotion is secondary.
The queen's bedroom is so beautiful, and a pair of big red candles shine in a joyful atmosphere. The large interstitial screen is also depicted with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, every corner of the room. They were all dyed red to symbolize festivity, and she looked inside the red tent and even blushed with shame.
When she was anxiously waiting for Chu Yunhong's arrival, she heard Wang Lianying's words: "Niangniang rest early, the emperor has to deal with government affairs tonight." "Wait!" Haoxue hurriedly lifted the red hijab and stopped Wang Lianying, "I'm going to see him!" ”
"The emperor doesn't like to be disturbed the most," Wang Lianying finished speaking, and then withdrew. Haoxue, who was the only one left in a red wedding dress, stood in place in a daze. After arriving in Kyoto from Shu for a full month, she had imagined that the newlywed would end like this.
For a moment, Haoxue wanted to rush out of the door. But when I thought that this was the eastern foothills, not my own Shu Kingdom. She felt so lonely that tears the size of a bean slid down her cheeks. How could Chu Yunhong let himself stay in the empty room alone?
"What are you crying about at night?" Die'er held the basin, opened the curtain and said, "The emperor is the monarch of the eastern foothills, how can he be only for you?" I've just made some water, so let's wash up and go to sleep. Ming'er has to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, don't miss the hour......"
Is this what a maid said, Haoxue couldn't help but be stunned. I remember that Die'er didn't treat herself like this in the past. Even when she was at home, the maid was also respectful, did Die'er suffer something from it?
There was a ticking of eleven beats in the western ocean on the wall, and the night was deep. Haoxue wiped a handful of tears and sat down in front of the rhombic mirror again. touched up the red makeup, and said to Die'er in a hoarse voice: "I will wait for the emperor to come up, and the emperor will definitely come." ”
"Then I'll go to sleep," when Die'er came out of the wedding, she went to the warm pavilion to see Wanning quietly. Everything went according to plan, and Chu Yunhong really didn't go to the dormitory. Butterfly is responsible for guarding outside, so Haoxue is like this,
Alone for the night.
Sometimes, the world's expectations are too high. It's always disappointing, just like the snow. She thought that after that, she could accompany Jun Fang for a long time, but she didn't expect to be snubbed as soon as she entered the palace. Yes, it must be that Chu Yunhong is too busy to have time to clone. She comforted herself.
The Empress Dowager Liang Yuzhen lives in Wanshou Palace, which is a quiet place. Haoxue thought that the Queen Mother would be an old woman, but she didn't expect it to be a young woman in her prime. The smooth forehead contains the color of youth. Liang Yuzhen is the only virgin queen mother in this dynasty.
If it weren't for the so-called commitment and the interests of the family and country, Liang Yuzhen might have been released from the palace and lived a comfortable life. However, the unpredictable world has brought Liang Yuzhen to where she is today. She had heard stories about Haoxue before, and when she saw it today, she was really a beautiful embryo.
Let's not talk about Haoxue's eyes, just look at her thick long hair. I know that she is a virtuous and virtuous woman, let's be a lady. It's just that the circles under his eyes are a little red, and it looks like he has been wronged. "I'm tired of the Queen Mother, Xue'er just didn't sleep well," Haoxue replied respectfully.
Liang Yuzhen already knew about last night's events, but she really admired Haoxue's patience. Then he instructed the maid to take Haoxue down to make up her makeup. Then whispered to Die'er: "The emperor really didn't go last night?" You go to Zhengyang Hall to see, what's going on? ”
After the butterfly withdrew, Haoxue slowly moved. Haoxue after touching up makeup is more like a hibiscus out of water. Liang Yuzhen looked carefully, took her hand, and said with a smile: "The beauties of the southern country have fallen into the city, and they are more than thirteen-"
"Xue'er is seventeen years old, and she has long passed the period of flower letters, and the Queen Mother praises her." The period of flower letter refers to the thirteen-year-old, which shows that Haoxue is a sincere woman. It's just that her so-called honesty has been exchanged for loneliness in the future. Liang Yuzhen heard before that a woman is four years old, which will cost the man's life.
Originally, Chu Yunhong was not supported by his mother, but now he is under Liang Yuzhen's knees. Naturally, it was well cared for, and it was easy to survive until Chu Yunhong ascended the throne smoothly. Who would have thought that he would marry a woman who was four years older than himself as the queen. It seems that Wanning is not wrong, Haoxue is really not a candidate for the queen.
The smart Haoxue saw a trace of displeasure in Liang Yuzhen's eyes. Thinking about what started last night, she said cautiously: "Xue'er will not complain about the emperor, the emperor bows to the country." As the queen, Cher should do her best to assist—"
"The emperor is not yet fifteen years old, and he can't have a round house," Liang Yuzhen said coldly, "Marrying you today is also a friendly relationship with Shu." "In fact, as long as the meaning of Shu Kingdom, let Haoxue become the queen. Then the battle with the eastern foothills can drag on for some time.
But Haoxue couldn't hear the voiceover, she didn't understand why she was so coldly spoken by the Queen Mother. Then he bowed again and said: "Xue'er wishes the Queen Mother a thousand blessings!" She took out a silk handkerchief from her arms, "The silk production of Shu can remove fatigue for the Queen Mother......
"You are a queen, you should call yourself a 'concubine'!" Liang Yuzhen looked at the silk handkerchief, waved her hand unconsciously, and asked the maid to take it down, "The emperor is young, and I urgently need the emperor to take care of government affairs in my eastern foothills." You only need to stay in the dormitory, not to go to the Zhengyang Palace, and not to see the emperor privately. ”
What the? She's the queen of a country! When Haoxue heard this, she was stunned. With tears of grievance in his eyes, people looked at me and felt pity. She didn't understand that Chu Yunhong didn't see her, and now the Queen Mother didn't allow herself to see the emperor, what was the reason?
"The mourning family is also lacking, you go down first," Liang Yuzhen saw Die'er's figure outside the window, so she waved her hand and asked Haoxue to leave. But on the contrary, it brought a great psychological blow to Haoxue. It turned out that the Queen Mother didn't like her, how would she survive in the harem in the future.
It was snowing, and Haoxue stretched out her palm. Watching the snowflakes fly on my fingertips, I don't feel teary-eyed. Now she doesn't seem to even have a reliable person. When she couldn't see the emperor, the maid Die'er spoke wildly again, and the queen mother spoke coldly, Haoxue really wanted to return to Shu.
A snowflake, gently flying in the air. The sunset reflects the afternoon sunset and exudes transparent colors. Looking at the sky from afar, the mountains in the distance stretched at first, the first snow melted, and a little carmine. Withered branches, sprinkled with soft sunlight, colorful.
In the hall next to the warm pavilion, the heat of the fire spreads. Clouds of smoke flowed through the wooden lattice windows. It's like the old days, lazy and long. When Chu Yunhong walked by this palace with heavy steps. When I looked at it by chance, I felt that it was an indifferent picture.
The cold wind blew, occasionally brushing the ends of Qingluan's hair. She was very natural, running her hair with her right index finger. Chu Yunhong couldn't help but be stunned, Qingluan's skin was like snow. Under the glow of the sun, it looks more and more radiant and lovely.
"Your Majesty?" Qingluan seemed to realize that there was someone outside the window. Then he slowly raised his head, and his eyes met each other. Her face flushed slightly, and she calmly put down the book in her hand. turned to get up and saluted Chu Yunhong, "Maid Qingluan, long live the emperor!" ”
Her voice is so good, like a yellow warbler out of the valley. Chu Yunhong hurriedly took two steps, entered the house and personally helped her up. A few scenes, a few moments. This was the first time Qingluan and Chu Yunhong met many years later. Familiar with each other, but strange to each other.
When Qingluan raised his head, he looked at the look in Chu Yunhong's eyes. I always feel like I've seen it somewhere, like that year's afternoon, when the gardenias bloomed. The sky is full of rainbow neon, colorful clouds. Everything is always so quiet.
"When Luan'er grows up, I will give you a white hosta," Chu Yunhong's childhood joke was still in his ears, but after a long wait. Just brewed such sweet memories, Qingluan quietly made tea for Chu Yunhong, just like Wanning and Jun Hao back then.
A cup of tea, filled with the smell of fragrance. Chu Yunhong casually flipped through the book on the table, but it was a Buddhist "Heart Sutra": Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, Prajnaparamita. A little warm sunlight shines in, like a quiet soil.
"I don't know what happened when the emperor came?" Qingluan was very puzzled, this time it was Chu Yunhong's wedding, why did he look sullen. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunhong sighed softly: "What I thought was too good, everything would have become like this." ”
So he pulled out a small blade from his cuff. On the handle of the dagger, the words "loyal to Shu and never forgotten" are engraved. It turned out that Chu Yunhong was thinking about this matter in his heart. I heard that the night of the wedding was also spent in the study.
It's just that Chu Yunhong didn't know that this dagger was put by Qingluan. In order not to let her mother suffer, Qingluan had to agree to her mother. No matter what, the mother is all of Qingluan. And she was still worried about Chu Yunhong's safety.
"Xue'er in the end, or her heart is towards Shu Kingdom, but I have ignored this," Chu Yunhong stroked the dagger, but he was still recalling the picture with Haoxue in his mind. He was sad in his heart, he just came to Qingluan to complain.
Seeing Chu Yunhong looking so sad, it was the first time for Qingluan to stand with Chu Yunhong seriously. Everything is just as Mother and Aunt Yan said, Chu Yunhong at this time needs a kind of comfort the most. Mu Qingluan is to grasp this opportunity.
"Has the emperor ever asked Niangniang?" Qingluan deliberately asked, "Maybe it's the people of Shu who deliberately framed Niangniang." I don't know-" "No need to ask," Chu Yunhong was a little lost, and he could see that he already knew it at this time.
Warm sunshine scattered in the blue sky with floating clouds. Intertwined among the old trees and withered vines, those winter plum blossoms are wrapped in the fragrance of a season. Spread across the sky, layer upon layer. The wind blew, and pieces of plum petals were scattered all over the ground, messy with memories of separation.
Next to the swing frame, there is a sunny color. Qingluan wears a red coat with a gold silk lining embroidered on the neckline. The mottled shadow of the sun penetrates the traces of time and flows through the memories of those years. Qingluan quietly flipped through the poetry books, and the surroundings were as quiet as ever.
"When did the emperor come?" Qingluan inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure next to the Sun Shadow. She looked up, but saw Chu Yunhong wearing a simple green robe. With a moon-white plush cloak draped over his shoulders, he stood quietly to the side.
A few plum petals fell, and they happened to fall on Chu Yunhong's shoulders. The white plum is bright and clean, and it is more and more lined with Chu Yunhong's face like the autumn moon. Qingluan stretched out his hand and gently brushed the plum petals off his shoulders for him. Then he carefully tied his loose cloak for him.
For a moment, Chu Yunhong looked at this tea maid in Zhengyang Palace. A strange feeling came to my mind, as if I had seen it somewhere. Such a familiar scene made Chu Yunhong feel like a world away. "Luan'er, I still owe you a jade hairpin."
The words should have just fallen, but seeing Chu Yunhong as if he was doing a trick. From the cuff, pull out a white jade hairpin. On the jade hairpin, gardenias are finely carved. Pure and immaculate, crystal clear. When Chu Yunhong inserted Qingluan between his sideburns, a thin layer of cool wind rose around him.
"I will never forget, this is my promise," Chu Yunhong casually hung Qingluan's hair behind his ear, and turned to a low voice, "Mu Qingluan, are you willing to marry me and be my concubine?" Chu Yunhong's eyes were filled with a kind of expectation.
These words were the words that Wanning longed for when she was training Qingluan. Now, after many years, Chu Yunhong finally said it. Qingluan blushed a little, lowered her head and fiddled with her skirt. When Chu Yunhong saw it, his heart became more and more fond of her for a while.
He didn't hold back his excitement for a moment, but he reached out and gently imprinted a shallow kiss on her forehead. Thin as dew, fade into the moonlight. In the afternoon of this day, the brilliant clouds of dusk drifted by, leaving a layer of shy memories.
"Luan'er only wishes to serve the emperor for life!" These words are naturally Qingluan's sincere words. Because in her heart, there is already a Chu Yunzhao. When Chu Yunhong was exiled to Shu Kingdom, it was Chu Yunzhao who took good care of him.
It's just that Qingluan didn't expect this sentence from herself. But he got an important piece of information, it turned out that Chu Yunhong thought that Qingluan was worried about his identity. Then he whispered to her: "Luan'er rest assured, tomorrow I will take advantage of the restoration of the country to wipe out Duanmukun in one ......"
"You are still the princess of Xirong," Chu Yunhong couldn't help but feel a little forgetful, looking at Qingluan in the sun, drunk for a while, "I will send a new Xirong King to manage and give you a peaceful home." Do you think so? His promise was the same as his father's.
No one will resist the temptation of promise, but in the promise, indulging in their dreams. Just like Chu Yunhong at that time, he made a promise. It's just because Haoxue deceived him. He will just look for Qingluan to comfort.
