Chapter 1: The Past Is Like Smoke
The smoke locks the heavy building, the carved beams and painted Yu, the hustle and bustle outside the park, and the singing and dancing sound pipes, all seem to have nothing to do with the "Hidden Plum Garden". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoDuring the Lunar Festival, ordinary people parade through the streets to enjoy the lanterns, drink and have fun. The imperial capital is even brighter, and the sound of silk and bamboo is endless. Who would have thought that the most noble Mu Wangfu in the imperial capital would have such a cold garden. A bright moon on the horizon seems to be unable to see the coldness in the garden, and a ray of moonlight passes through the pavilion and surrounds the house, reflecting the face of the woman on the bed in different shades. It's just that this bright moonlight can't dissolve the woman's frowning eyebrows.
It was obviously a hot summer day, but the woman on the bed was wrapped in a heavy brocade quilt, and a trace of fine sweat continued to appear on her forehead. The woman's fingertips trembled slightly, her lips murmured, and she vaguely heard a few intermittent words of "cold... Cold... Sister...". These words are intermittent, except for this woman who is still in a dream, I am afraid that no one knows what it means.
"Don't let go, I'll be able to ..... Save you... I will definitely save you up...", Mu Yige couldn't say a word. She could only hold the girl's hand tightly, but her body in the pool was getting colder and colder, and she felt that she was really tired and couldn't use any strength. I really wanted to let go of my hand, but the girl on the shore held her tightly and never let go for a moment. "I'm going to die, I'm going to die......". Mu Yige, who was only five years old, kept repeating this thought in his heart at this moment, "Aunt Qing, Yige will never see you again..... Mother ...... You, Yige is coming to you, Yige really misses you......" "Yige! Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears, "Brother Feng......" Mu Yige finally remembered this person's name in his heart, but he no longer had the strength and fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, Mu Yige couldn't recognize the man in front of him. Dressed in a purple robe, he was born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, concealing the bearing of a king, but at this moment he was extremely anxious. The handsome face was covered with fine beads, and it was impossible to tell whether it was sweat drops or tears. Yige moved his arm slightly, and the man immediately realized, "Yige, are you okay?" Hearing his voice, two little heads immediately came to Mu Yige's face. One is Brother Feng, and the other is the girl who saved herself by the lotus pond. "Brother Feng," Mu Yige only shouted this one, but he didn't know what to do next. She didn't recognize any of the remaining two. "Yige, why don't you call your father?" The man next to him asked softly. Father! ... Mu Yige was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't say a word. For as long as he can remember, he has never remembered when he saw his father, and how could he recognize a man who claimed to be his father next to him. The young Mu Yige couldn't remember how many times he had asked Aunt Qing, why didn't she come to see her? And Aunt Qing just hugged herself every time, and she couldn't stop her tears. Mu Yige knew that Aunt Qing was crying, and Yige didn't understand why Aunt Qing was crying, but as a child, she already understood that Aunt Qing was very sad, really sad. She stretched out her weak arms, hugged Aunt Qing tightly, and said immaturely, "Aunt Qing, don't cry." Songs will protect you. Aunt Qing, I will protect you! ”。
Since that day, Mu Yige has never asked Aunt Qing's father again, and after a long time, even Mu Yige himself has forgotten that he still has a father. Now that his father really appeared in front of him, Mu Yige didn't know how to talk to him, so he stubbornly didn't call out his father.
Mu Yan waited quietly like this, but he couldn't wait for the "father" that his daughter had called in his heart all these years. is obviously his favorite little daughter, but he didn't take a good look at her. He couldn't think of how bitter Mu Yige's heart was in this year, so he didn't blame Mu Yige, but even at this moment, all the care and thousands of thoughts in his heart couldn't be said. Why did his daughter end up as a stranger to him because of that person? At this moment, Mu Yan hated the Ninety-Five Emperor sitting on the court, no matter what courtesy of a monarch and minister, what brotherhood, he couldn't stop this hatred in his heart......
Mu Yige naturally didn't know what was going on in her heart, and she didn't want to know what she wanted to know. In the past few years, she has only been accompanied by Aunt Qing and Mu Zifeng, and when she is most dangerous, her person is not the father she always secretly misses. Thinking like this, I simply closed my eyes and didn't look at him.
By the time she opened her eyes again, her father was gone. Brother Feng didn't know where he went. I wanted to get up, and my body moved, but I felt that something was pressing on my arm. Mu Yige looked sideways, and the girl fell asleep quietly under the candlelight, her palms still clutching her hands tightly.
"Sister! You're awake. Mu Yige moved, and the girl beside her had woken up. Well. Mu Yige answered her, but he didn't know her name. Stunned, "I'm your sister." "Sister, Mu Yige heard her say this, and her heart was in a mess.
She had seen her sister, and her mother had always told everyone, "Don't pay attention to that broom star!" "In winter, when the snow was falling, she wore patched clothes, and in the howling north wind, she took a broom taller than her, and swept the ground with great difficulty, and her hands and face were purple from the cold, but she came up and beat her on the head and face, calling her lazy, and calling her a broom star. And she is always silent, with her head down, without a single tear, who will pity her?
My father had three concubines, the eldest princess, two wives and concubines, one arrogant and barbaric, the other mean and vicious, and only the mother was red-faced and died very early.
I didn't dare to approach her all the time, and I didn't expect that she would come to see me. I said gratefully, "Thank you!" "It's nothing, you have to be careful in the future!" Her voice is crisp and nice.
She told me that her name was Mu Yige, and she begged for my name, "My name is Mu Yige." Yige felt that she should tell her sister her name. I know, sister, are you hungry? I'll tell someone to make you something to eat. Without waiting for Mu Yige to answer, Mu Elegy picked it up by himself.
Mu Elegy seems to be very talkative, and he keeps talking around Yige. Said that there were those rare treasures in the palace, and that there was an interesting parrot in her room.
Mu Elegy, who was listening, kept talking, and Mu Yige suddenly felt empty in his heart. She hadn't even come out of this hidden plum garden, so how could she know what it was like outside the palace. Five years, but Yige felt that it was so long. Day after day, year after year, the plum blossoms in the Hidden Plum Garden bloomed and fell, the lotus pond was green and yellow, but her world has never changed, it will always be so big.
As if seeing the sadness in Mu Yige's heart, Mu Elegy suddenly stopped talking. She put her head close to Mu Elegy's ear and said softly, "From now on, I will protect you with Brother Feng." This gentle sentence was deeply seared into Yige's heart. They are all the only children of their father, and Mu Yige seems to understand a little bit of his father's unspoken thoughts today. But she still didn't understand why her father did this to her.
"Sister, it's getting late, I'm going back! Otherwise, the mother will be angry. Mu Elegy suddenly remembered something, and before he knew it, the night was dark. If you don't go back, the mother concubine is afraid that she will have to send Huang's mother to find herself in the whole palace, so it's better to go back quickly. "With the song, I'm gone. I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Mu Elegy waved his hand to himself at the door, "Father asked you to get well and go to my husband's class with me." I couldn't see Mu Elegy's figure anymore, but the sentence I heard came from afar. Can you finally see the world outside the Hidden Plum Garden? Mu Yige seemed to have a premonition in his heart, his father must have a secret in his heart that he didn't know, his mother, where is she? Alone in the plum garden, will the mother miss Yige? ......
Time flies, fate entangled. Many years later, whenever the name Mu Elegy crossed her heart, Mu Yige would always think of the girl who never let go of herself, after all kinds of grievances, is it love or hate? She only remembered that the woman named Mu Elegy was her sister.
