The days are getting longer, and after a rain, the air is filled with the smell of moisture, but it finally dilutes the summer heat, and the repeated breezes after the heavy rain bring a burst of coolness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a little stagnant water on the blue bricks in the courtyard of the Qiluan Palace, and the crystal puddles of water faintly shoot out the clear and jade-like sky, like a flawless green jade. Su Dai stood under the corridor and watched in a daze as the palace ladies swept away the stagnant water on the green bricks, and for some reason, a dull sigh suddenly broke out from the bottom of his heart, as if he was lamenting the endless years of the deep palace, and as if he was lamenting the impermanent sun.

"Why don't you go into the temple?" Zhen Yan whispered beside her.

"Zhenyan, what do you say you are living day after day?" She was puzzled, from the time she was born, fate seemed to have set a trajectory, no matter how she chose, she still headed in one direction after all.

Stunned, Su Dai's words stopped her, in fact, she didn't know what she was living for, she was circling like this, it seemed that she was just to live, but what was she living for? Is it just for the hard work?

Su Dai sighed softly and said slowly: "I think, no one knows the answer, and there is no answer to this question after all." ”

The words fell, and a soft sigh at the end was like a puff of smoke, rising into the air, and dispersing in a short time.

I don't know how long she stood under the porch, looking up at the sky, the clouds in the distance seemed to come from thousands of miles away, like the haze in her heart, and she couldn't see the haze of hope.

"Niangniang, let's go into the palace."

Su Dai's eyes stared at the clouds in the sky with a faint color, and he said slowly: "I go out for a walk, I don't have to follow." ”

Out of the Qiluan Palace, along the green bricks forward, no matter where to go, just like the vast lake boat, drifting with the water.

Because of the rain just ended, Yuhuatai rarely had palace people walking, she walked for a long time, only to see two or three palace people in a hurry, the blue brick path stretched and winded, the stagnant water on the ground has not been swept away by the palace maid, the skirt of the ground is swaying, suddenly stepping on a puddle, the stagnant water suddenly splashed the embroidered shoes on the feet. She couldn't help but think of Li Bai's words in "Visiting Dai Tianshan Taoist Priests", "In the sound of dogs barking in the water, the peach blossoms are dewy." When the tree is deep, I see a deer, and I don't hear the bell at noon", she thought to herself, she was always lucky enough to find some little-known novelty in the inaccessible places, and she didn't know if she could catch a glimpse of a deer when she was deep in the forest.

Lotus step lightly, the soft-soled embroidered shoes on the feet have long been soaked with stagnant water, the soles of the feet suddenly stepped on a hard object, Su Dai frowned, looked down, only to see a pearl earring lying at the feet, she squatted slowly, the skirt on the body was sprinkled on the ground, she didn't care, picked up the pearl earrings, only to see the round pearl in the sun flowing bright, very dazzling.

I don't know who fell here, dropped a pearl earring, but I don't know what kind of confused mind it should be, thinking about this, Su Dai slowly put the pendant into his sleeve.

Although Yuhuatai lives in the north, there are few majestic atmospheric scenery in the north, more like the graceful Jiangnan water town, although she has never seen the misty Jiangnan water town, but the poems of Da Chu are presented, it is a lingering artistic conception, the corner of her lips smiled at the gurgling spring in front of her, if she can leave here one day, she wants to go to see the scenery of Jiangnan with Xu Yu.

In the depths of the green trees, there is a small spring like a crescent moon, the sound of the water is murmuring, it looks particularly beautiful in the silent shade, and I am used to listening to the faint and quiet of the Konghou, and the gurgling sound of the water is like a more meaningful ancient song.

A crescent-like spring is planted next to a hibiscus tree, the breeze blows, the melodious petals flow down the water, the ripples in the blue waves move slightly, and the occasional faint sun leaks through the shady gaps, reflecting on the clear moon-like spring water, as if falling on her heart lake.

Su Dai slowly walked to the jasper-like water's edge, squatted down with his hands together, and gently picked up a pool, and the pale pink petals shook lightly in his palm, dyeing the spring water in his palm.

"Dai'er?" Behind him came a warm male voice like this jasper.

She panicked, and the water in her palm suddenly spread all over her body, and the light dress was wet with water and then clinged to her body.

"Why are you here?" Xu Yu asked softly.

She turned around slowly, but her hands were hidden on the wet dress without a trace, and said softly, "I, I didn't know how to get here." ”

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and he said slowly: "There are few people here, and few people know about the scenery here. ”

"You live here?" Since she called Yuhuatai, she still doesn't know where he lives, and she has never been there.

"No, I found it a few years ago, but I think it's extremely secluded, so I come here often." He caught a glimpse of the embroidered shoes embroidered with endless begonia patterns on her feet, but they were already soaked, he couldn't help frowning, and said slowly: "Why are you so careless, but the shoes are wet?" ”

She nodded with a wry expression, and her heart was full of thoughts, and she couldn't help but think of Chinese New Year's Eve, when her feet arrived, but he rubbed the ointment for her.

He approached her slowly, and before she could react, he picked her up horizontally, and she only felt that her cheeks were so hot that she didn't know if it looked like she was dyed red.

He hugged her, gently sat her down on a rock, raised his hand to gently remove her wet shoes and socks, she was confused, and wanted to reach out to stop him, but was gently brushed aside by his hand, "Always so careless." He said softly.

"No, but that's all there is to it." Su Dai knew that he was wrong, but he didn't want to be talked about by him, so he couldn't help but retort in a low voice.

He raised his eyes, and his eyes were full of a delicate smile: "I have seen it twice." ”

His slender white fingers gently removed her shoes and socks, and a pair of small jade feet were exposed to his eyes, he couldn't help coughing lightly, and she hurriedly retracted her feet.

"I'll help you dry your shoes and socks." He turned around slowly.

Su Dai looked at his thin back, a trace of sweetness rippled in her heart, the stone she was sitting on was close to the water's edge, and for a while her heart was playful, she immersed her feet in the clear water, and the small fish in the water dragged past her feet, and a tickling touch made her chuckle.

"Laughing at what?" Xu Yu asked softly with a smile in his voice.

She swayed her feet gently, letting the swimming fish swim under her feet, the breeze blew through the hibiscus petals floating in the soft waves of the blue water, the ripples moved slightly like the waves of the heart lake, and said briskly: "Ziyu, I heard that the women of Da Chu can't show their feet to others at will." ”

"Well, that's what it says." He lifted the hem of his moon-white robe and sat down beside her, a faint smile on the corner of his lips, like a babbling spring.

She turned her eyes to look at him, a little apprehensive in her heart: "What about Nanhuaguo?" ”

"Nanhua and Dachu, many of the rules of etiquette and religion are about the same." He stared at her with a smile, a hazy smile in his eyes.

She was a little confused, and couldn't help but think of Chinese New Year's Eve, and pouted: "I used to think you were a righteous gentleman." "It turns out that he had done it on purpose.

"Of course I'm a decent man." His eyes were as clear as moonlight, and the candlelight flickered, but it flashed as bright as glass, like rainbow across the sky, and her delicate face was under her eyes, "But just to others." ”

She looked at the jade-like young man in front of her in a daze, time seemed to freeze at this moment, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, silent, and could only smell the soft sound of the water waves shaking, she seemed to be caught off guard, and fell heavily into the smile in his eyes, the heart lake seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, ripples, and her heart beat hard, she hurriedly lowered her eyes and said softly: "Flim tongue, I didn't know you were like this before." ”

He stared at her with a smile, and saw a pale pink petal fall between her temples, he raised his hand to gently remove the petal, but saw that her cheeks were slightly red, which matched the petals in his hand.

"I'll only be flammy with you in the future, okay?"

Su Dai's cheeks couldn't help but heat, why did he speak like this today, every word made her feel ashamed, and she wanted to escape from this place where she was stunned as soon as possible.

"I'll take you to the front cabin." He said softly.

She bowed her head slightly, only to see him slowly squatting down in front of her, his thin back in front of her, she was a little confused, and couldn't help but think that it was the same on Chinese New Year's Eve, he carried her back, but at that time he and she did not communicate with each other.

The hut was located deep in the forest, and she gently leaned on his back, the tip of her nose sniffing the faint smell of Su Hexiang on his body, and her heart was full of peace.

"Why is there a hut here?"

He replied with a smile: "I don't know, but when I found this place, there was already this room, and I guess it was built by the predecessors." ”

Maybe it was the unfavored prince of the previous dynasty, I heard that the emperor of the previous dynasty always liked to put the prince who did not like to raise it in Yuhuatai, maybe it was built by which prince, and then when the Great Chu Dynasty was established, Yuhuatai was used as a summer palace, and it was even more impossible to know if it came back and forth every summer.

Next to the hut in the forest, the thick shade greets the ground, the fragrant flowers and vines bloom inexhaustibly, full of ancient meaning, but there is a hidden artistic conception.

He carried her on his back, stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the door open, entered the house, and immediately smelled the faint fragrance of books and ink, it seems that Xu Yu has taken good care of this place.

He put her on the soft couch beside him, and Shizuka in the room was fine, looking at the furnishings in the room at a loss.

"What's that?" She caught a glimpse of the scroll unfolding on the desk, and from a distance it looked like a slender back.

He has always been white as jade face gradually rose a touch of red clouds, quickly stepped forward to put away the scroll, but she was one step ahead of him, held down his hand to put away the scroll, greeted by a woman, holding a fan, pavilion and standing on the lakeside, looking back, eyes as bright as stars, eyebrows like distant mountains, flattering eyes shy, Dan lips smile one by one, one point is too long, one point is too short, the woman in the painting also mentioned a line of words, "Light Luo small fan white orchid, slender waist jade with dancing veil. It is suspected that the fairy came down to earth, and she looked back and smiled at Xinghua".

"Is this, me?" The woman in the painting looked like her, but she still asked.

He bowed his head slightly and smiled faintly: "It's you." ”

"This is me next to the Taiye Pool in the Palace Garden?" At that time, it seemed that Rong Bingye whispered behind her, she thought that he was in the Qingxin Palace, but she didn't expect him to come to the palace garden to find her, she was happy in her heart, and when she looked back at him, the corners of her lips also smiled.

"Yes, I happened to be passing by there and saw you."

It turned out that it was not the first time he saw her in Yuhuatai Moyun Hall, but it was the first time she saw him. The time he saw her by the Taiye Pool in the palace garden was the first time he saw her, but she didn't know it. When was that? She seems to have been in the palace for less than a month, and it was when she pretended to be Rong Bingye wholeheartedly, but at that time, he was already interested in her?

Her heart was shaking, for some reason, the shock slowly dissipated, but there was a trace of bitterness in her heart, she suddenly felt that she was not worthy of him, he was the prince of Nanhua, but she was just a concubine who had been a woman.

Xu Yu saw that she was silent for a long time, and her eyebrows seemed to be dyed a little sloppy, he couldn't help but hold her hand, and said softly: "I know what you're thinking, but I'm not a whim for you, I naturally know that you and I are now disparity, and it's really difficult to stay together, but I can't forget you since I first saw you, when I knew that you took care of Heng'er, I knew that if there was no chance, there would be no such arrangement, that day I was sick and bedridden, when you came to Zhiyuxuan, I wanted to tell you my mind, Dai'er, do you understand?" ”

She stared at the person in front of her with a daze, she had never seen him so serious, so resolute, it turned out that from beginning to end, she was the only one who was easily shaken, but after all, it was still difficult for her to cross the hurdle in her heart, she had been subconsciously avoiding that problem before, but now that she really looked directly into her heart, she only felt that this was too unfair to Ziyu.

"But, I'm already a wife, don't you care about that?" There was a slight tremor in her voice, it was a panic that even she hadn't noticed, she was afraid, afraid that she would lose him as soon as this question came out, but she finally asked.

He was stunned, and just as her heart slowly sank into the abyss, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said softly: "It turns out that this is what you have been worried about? ”

She looked up at him, "It's not equal at all, it's so unfair to you." ”

"I never cared if you were already another woman, I only knew that you didn't have the right to choose before, and no one asked you if you were willing to enter the palace as a concubine." His eyes locked firmly on her, and his gaze burned, "Now I ask you, Dai'er, are you willing to go back to Nanhua with me in the future?" ”

There seemed to be a trace of warmth in her eyes, blurring her vision, she nodded subconsciously, yes, no one had ever asked her wishes before, and she had never had the right to control her own destiny, from now on, she would live for herself, and no one else could control her fate.

His eyes were full of gentle smiles, and he stretched out his hand to gently embrace her into his arms, and at some point, the clouds in the sky outside were swept away by the sun, and the scorching sunlight leaked through the cracks in the shade of the trees, and sprinkled all over the ground through the carved windows.
