As he spoke, Xuanhui could already see the tall city walls and the scattered post teahouses outside the city from afar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pei Minzhong turned his horse's head and continued to ride along the water's edge: "Let's not go into the city, just get on the boat from the dock and go south." When he looked down, he saw the silk jacket and skirt Xuanhui was wearing, so he slowly stopped and instructed Pei Rongzhen: "You ride quickly to the town next to the dock in front of you, and go to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a few well-fitting cotton robes." ”

Then he said to Xuanhui: "Your body is vegetarian enough, but the silk is too expensive, and it will inevitably attract attention when you walk on the road." I can only wronged you to wear cotton cloth and pretend to be a man...... When you get to Jinling, I'll buy you clothes, okay? ”

Xuan Hui glanced at him and said with a smile: "You also underestimate me, although I haven't worn cotton cloth, but at this time, can you still pick clothes?" ”

"It's my own reluctance. Isn't it a big bad thing that you're following me and doing worse than when you were in your mother's house? ”

When Xuanhui heard the word "mother's family", she was stunned: "There are not many people in this world who can be richer than my mother's family, right?" ”

Pei Minzhong knew that he was speechless, grabbed the reins in his left hand, freed up his right hand to hold Xuanhui's hand, and said gently: "It's me who is not good, and I made you sad...... I have made up my mind to help King An to defeat the rebels and restore the Great Zhou. Shall I use my deeds to add glory to you then? ”

Xuanhui smiled and nodded.

After a while, they saw Pei Rongzhen waiting under a willow tree not far from the dock with a big burden on his back. Jingyun borrowed Pei Minzhong's big coat, and several people surrounded Xuanhui in the middle to change their clothes, and Yuan Xiang and others also changed in turn, and then led the horse to board the boat.

Now that the war has just passed, the southbound ships are not so crowded, but there are no good ships to sit on, and it is even rarer to charter one alone. In order not to attract attention, Pei Minzhong chose this medium-sized, very common passenger ship, and everything was safe.

After tossing all night, everyone was very tired, and after the ship sailed, Xuanhui took Jingyun and the others back to the cabin to rest. Pei Minzhong and Pei Rongzhen pretended to watch the canal scenery and guarded outside the door.

A small wave pushed the passenger boat, with a slight sway, like a mother's embrace when she put her child to sleep. Xuanhui curled up in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, she came to a bright place in spring, with flowers and orchids. There is an octagonal pavilion next to the babbling stream, and several wind chimes are hung under the eaves of the pavilion, and the long sound of the wind chimes will sound when a breeze blows.

Xuanhui looked at this place, feeling strange and inexplicably reassured. When she heard a smile coming from the pavilion, she became curious and walked up the stairs with the hem of her skirt. At a glance, Xuanhui's tears almost fell, it turned out that Emperor Yuanhe and Concubine Xian were sitting in the pavilion.

One of them was fiddling with the strings, and the other was wiping the purple flute, as if they were going to play a song together. Emperor Yuanhe smiled: "The last time I heard you play the piano, it was when Xuanhui was young, and now that my daughter is getting married, she played it to me again." I have to order a tune today to spare you. ”

Concubine Xian smiled: "Obviously, you said it yourself when I entered the palace, if I play the qin, I must have you to play the flute beside me." Have you had half a moment of free time over the years? ”

Emperor Yuanhe put down the veil of wiping the purple flute, tried to blow it twice, and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't blame Ayu for not playing the piano for me, I should blame me for having less time to accompany Ayu." It's okay now, no more worries and no complaints, just me and you. ”

Concubine Xian nodded with a smile and asked, "Dare to ask what song you want to listen to today?" ”

Emperor Yuan He smiled: "I love to listen to 'I want to live the most bitter parting', I play the flute, you come to sing, okay?" ”

Concubine Xian silently read: "The flowers are thankful for the three springs, and the moon is missing the Mid-Autumn Festival. She looked up at Emperor Yuanhe, frowned, and said, "It's not good, it's not good, this intention is really not good." ”

Emperor Yuan He said: "The streamer is easy to throw people, red cherries, green plantains." How about this? ”

Concubine Xian pursed her lips and said, "Why do you always love such sad ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yuan He played it, and Concubine Xian had to sing: "A piece of spring sorrow is waiting for the wine to be poured, and the boat on the river is shaking ......"

Xuanhui was used to seeing such a loving relationship between the two, but at this time, he couldn't help but cry.

She couldn't help but walk over, but the female official standing next to her waved her hand and said, "Although we are close relatives, we have a different way." Why bother with the princess? Life is hard, they have also been relieved, and the princess does not need to worry. But please give birth to the princess in the future, and the emperor and concubine will also be relieved. ”

Xuanhui looked at her smiling parents, although they were close at hand, they were as far away as a lifetime. She cried so much that she heard someone calling to herself in a trance: "Auntie, Auntie, wake up quickly......"

Xuan Hui opened her worried eyes and saw Pei Minzhong sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at herself with a worried face. She took the handkerchief handed over by Jingyun, wiped her tears, and said in a choked voice: "I dreamed of my father and mother and the princess, the two of them were so happy, playing and singing together......"

Pei Minzhong touched her head and smiled: "It's snowing outside, have you seen the snow on the river?" Come out and take a look! ”

Xuanhui nodded, put on a robe and walked out with Pei Minzhong.

By this time the sky was already dark, and there was not a trace of wind, only the overwhelming snow falling like a tear. In the distance, there seemed to be several boats traveling together, and the flickering lights had become very hazy through the dense snowflakes.

The babbling sound of the huqin came from a certain cabin, absurd, but it was the song "Boat Crossing the Wujiang River".

Xuanhui held on to the railing on the side of the deck and looked at the boundless water, very melancholy. Dreams and reality mixed together, making her a little trance-like.

Pei Minzhong wrapped her in his big coat and whispered in her ear: "Since you see that the first emperor and the virtuous concubine are having a good time, then it must be like this, you should be happy." The first emperor was a person who didn't like to be an emperor by nature, but he happened to encounter the first-class drudgery in the world. Isn't this the way out of the sea of suffering? ”

"People should always look forward, always look back, and inevitably miss too much of the scenery ahead. I am the son-in-law personally chosen by Concubine Xian, and now that I am by your side, my mother-in-law must be relieved. ”

Xuanhui laughed out loud: "I've never seen such a cheeky one!" But the mother concubine was really partial at that time, so help you calculate my ......"

Pei Minzhong scratched her nose and said with a smile: "I am such a handsome and dashing young talent, not only my mother-in-law will not let go when she sees it, but even the little lady will run with her when she sees it!" ”

Xuanhui pretended to be angry and stepped on Pei Minzhong's feet. Pei Minzhong flipped her over, and the two stood face to face. Pei Minzhong looked at her with a smile and said, "It's almost the New Year, I wanted to take you ashore to eat something delicious when Linqing docked." Now that my foot injury has occurred, I'm afraid I won't be able to go. (To be continued.) )
