On the day of the ceremony, the crown prince Liu Zheng and Wang Zhengjun met on the balcony. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the dark night, the white soft light emitted by the moonlight was like a white veil, hazy enveloping the entire imperial womb. In the new house, the dragon and phoenix candles on the desk exude an orange halo, and the red curtain embroidered with colorful silk threads is particularly bright and dazzling. Wang Zhengjun wears a jade belt peony group phoenix purple and red pleated skirt, covered with embroidered clouds and phoenix patterns red wedding clothes, and carefully combed into a beaded and emerald flower cloud bun wearing a phoenix crown of nine feathers and four phoenix colors. Wang Zhengjun sat elegantly at the head of the bed, dressed in a bright red and festive appearance, as if she was in the mood at this time, and the overflowing happiness was slowly spreading like a bright morning glow.

The door was slammed open by the crown prince Liu Zheng, making a "creaking" sound. The crown prince Liu Zheng walked in quietly, and the loose robe with red and black Ruyi Chinese patterns made him more and more noble and elegant. He slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, but there was no joy on his handsome face. He stretched out his right hand and casually lifted Wang Zhengjun's red hijab, Wang Zhengjun's delicate and touching face with a charming flush instantly bloomed in front of his eyes like the most gorgeous peony flower.

Wang Zhengjun raised his head a little shyly, and his gentle eyes were as smart as a pool of clear water. She looked straight at the crown prince Liu Zheng, and a soft smile on her face showed in her mood.

The crown prince Liu Zheng and Wang Zhengjun both picked up the bronze phoenix bird double joint cup containing fine wine, and drank the wine stiffly and politely. Today, Wang Zhengjun and the crown prince Liu Zheng are so close that she can clearly feel the breathing of the crown prince Liu Zheng, but she can't see such a clear and warm smile. Now, taking advantage of the soft light of the red candle, she could only clearly see that the prince's gentle and gentle face was as stiff as iceberg snow, and there was still too much helplessness and pain hidden in his low-hanging and sad eyes. Wang Zhengjun suddenly felt a faint pain in her heart, her hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and her face, which was originally smiling lightly, was suddenly as calm as a fallen leaf.

The crown prince Liu Zheng put down the cup and prepared to get up and leave.

"Your Highness!" Wang Zhengjun suddenly grabbed the hand of the crown prince Liu Zheng, and his gentle and agile eyes were full of pitiful pain.

The crown prince Liu Zheng gently let go of Wang Zhengjun's hand and said softly: "I'm not leaving, I'm just sitting at this table, not going anywhere!" ”

Such soft words are as cold as winter water. Wang Zhengjun's aching heart suddenly clenched together, and she watched in a daze as the crown prince Liu Zheng walked to the table and sat down quietly, and watched sadly as he poured down glass after glass of wine bitterly.

After a long time, Wang Zhengjun slowly approached, gently snatched the wine glass from the hand of the crown prince Liu Zheng, and said with some pity: "Your Highness, don't drink anymore." It's time to rest early! ”

The crown prince Liu Zheng raised his head, glanced at Wang Zhengjun, and said softly: "Go to sleep!" Leave me alone! With that, Liu Zheng picked up a glass of wine and drank it all again.

Wang Zhengjun watched helplessly, and then reluctantly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. The red light was enchanting, and a clear teardrop slipped down the corner of her eye, cool.

Outside the palace, the bright moon over Xiao Mansion was exceptionally bright. Through this soft and cold moonlight, Xiao Yu's hair blown by the night wind flashed with a blurry golden shattered light. Xiao Yu sat on the roof, and his handsome and clear face reflected in the moonlight was so peaceful. The uninhibited and uninhibited in his fluttering clothes was undoubtedly revealed, and his hand holding the jade flute was cold, only to feel that the clear sound of the flute seemed to float out of the quiet mountain stream, and the cold water added a melancholy to the moonlit and hazy night.

"Brother Xiao Yu, I knew you were here." Zhi Ran happily climbed onto the roof with the wine, and sat casually next to Xiao Yu, her fresh green dress revealing a few traces of smart beauty.

After Xiao Yu heard this, he took away the jade flute and said softly: "In the middle of the night, you don't rest in the house, what are you doing here?" The night is as cold as water, so it's better to go back early to rest, in case you suffer from the cold, it's not good. ”

"Brother Xiao Yu is not the same, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came here, why did he ask?" Zhi Ran asked a little mischievously, and on her fair and tender face, the two dimples faintly blurred like apricot blossoms.

"Little girl!" Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly, and the light smile on his face quickly disappeared in the wind. He picked up the jade flute he had just put down and blew it again, and the desolate sound of the flute slowly flowed in the air.

"Brother Xiao Yu, stop blowing!" Zhi Ran smiled and snatched the jade flute, and said: "Today is the wedding of His Royal Highness the Prince, but you play such a sad tune, and you are not afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will treat you for the crime of disrespect!" ”

Xiao Yu sneered a few times and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is celebrating a big wedding tonight, how can he notice me Xiao Yu?" ”

"After I came to Chang'an, I always felt that Brother Xiao Yu was unhappy, but I couldn't guess what it was. Brother Xiao Yu, can you tell me what makes you so unhappy? Zhi Ran said, raised her pretty goose egg face and looked at Xiao Yu. Seeing that Xiao Yu was only concerned about the, he had no intention of answering. She quietly turned her face sideways, her chin in meditation with both hands, and the picture of her and Xiao Yu in Lanling in the East China Sea began to appear in front of her unconsciously.

At that time, she and Xiao Yu rode horses together and watched the clouds roll up together. Zhiran looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I'm going to call you by your name directly, I don't want to call Brother Xiao Yu anymore." ”

Xiao Yu tapped Zhiran's head and said in a warm voice: "I'm seven or eight years older than you, so wouldn't it mess up the generations, so you can only call me brother." ”

Zhi Ran pouted and said, "In that case, am I the sister of Brother Xiao Yu?" ”

After Xiao Yu smiled, he replied: "Yes, you are my Xiao Yu's sister, or my favorite sister." ”

Zhiran said again: "But I don't want to be Xiao Yu's brother's sister." ”

"Then you will catch up with me, and if you catch up with me, I will let you call me by my name directly!" Xiao Yu said with a smile, and with a wave of the whip, he rode away.

"Brother Xiao Yu, I will catch up with you." Zhi Ran smiled and raised her long whip to quickly follow. But no matter how hard she ran and ran, she just couldn't catch up with Xiao Yu. In this way, she actually called Xiao Yu's "brother" for three years.

Zhiran thought about it, and the smile on the corner of her mouth bloomed faintly.

"Little girl, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yu tapped Zhiran's head with Yuxiao, "Blame me for not replying to your words just now?" ”

Zhi Ran shook her head and looked at Xiao Yu's eyes as pure as water. She took out the wine hidden behind her and said, "I'm thinking, Brother Xiao Yu is so distressed, can he still drink alcohol?" ”

"Of course you want to drink it!" Xiao Yu took the wine jug and said with a smile, "You girl, you brought wine, and you didn't say it earlier." ”

"When I saw Brother Xiao Yu coming to this roof, there must have been something unhappy, so I specially bought good wine and brought it up. I thought that Brother Xiao Yu usually drank a lot, so he would definitely be able to smell such a strong wine! Unexpectedly......" Zhi Ran said, smiling and shaking her head, "It's because I think too highly of Brother Xiao Yu, and that wine is not as beautiful as this moonlight!" ”

"You girl, you've been getting worse lately!" Xiao Yu smiled, picked up the wine jug and poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, and groaned: "

The moon rises brightly, and the best people are shining. Shu is entangled, and he is quietly tired. The moon rises brightly, and the best people are scared. Sorrowful and tired. The moon rises and shines. Shu Yao is miserable, and his heart is miserable. ”

After hearing this, Zhi Ran unconsciously asked, "Brother Xiao Yu, what kind of poem is this?" ”

"Good poetry!" Xiao Yu just spit out two simple words, then poured another sip of wine and drank it all. In the cold and soft moonlight, Wang Zhengjun's shadow became clear and bright.

"I'm going to drink it too!" Zhi Ran snatched the wine and took a quick sip. As soon as the wine entered her throat, she exclaimed, "It's so spicy! I didn't expect this wine to be so unpleasant! Here you go! ”

Xiao Yu smiled and took the wine jug, took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "Little girl! Do you still drink alcohol in the future? ”

"I don't drink anymore." Zhi Ran wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve and smiled like a child.

In the womb, the silver glow of the moonlight passed through the rhombic lattice window, and there was even some redness.

As the night deepened, the crown prince Liu Zheng fell asleep on the table unknowingly because he drank too much. Wang Zhengjun has not slept, she looked at Liu Zheng who was gradually sleeping, and a shallow smile appeared on her originally tired face. It's just that the smile has an astringent taste.

Wang Zhengjun got up and picked up the colorful gold silk Ruyi Xianghe and pomegranate quilt, quietly walked to the side of the prince Liu Zheng, and carefully draped the quilt on the prince Liu Zheng, afraid that the prince would wake up from his sleep if he was not careful. She looked at the gentle and handsome face of the crown prince Liu Zheng gently, and unconsciously stretched out her right hand and stroked it gently. The crown prince Liu Zheng seemed to feel something, and he moved slightly. Wang Zhengjun was shocked, his hand quickly retracted, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the crown prince Liu Zheng grabbed her, "Don't go!" Don't go! ”

Wang Zhengjun turned to look at Liu Zheng happily, but heard Liu Zheng chanting softly: "Rui'er, don't go!" Don't go! ”

Suddenly, a tear slowly slipped from the corner of Wang Zhengjun's eyes. She carefully let go of the crown prince Liu Zheng's hand, but saw that the crown prince Liu Zheng opened his eyes slightly, and he grabbed Wang Zhengjun's hand even harder, "Rui'er, I knew it was you who came." ”

Wang Zhengjun was about to say something when he saw that the crown prince Liu Zheng had woken up. He got up and stood up, looking at Wang Zhengjun's eyes that began to have an unusual tenderness.

"Your Highness, I ......" Wang Zhengjun was suddenly so panicked that he didn't know what to say. The crown prince Liu Zheng hugged her tightly, she could feel the warm breath in the arms of the prince Liu Zheng, but she knew that it did not belong to her.

"Rui'er, I've finally seen you again. Do you know that I really miss you, I want to see you again every moment! The crown prince Liu Zheng actually left tears at this moment, and the tears dripped onto Wang Zhengjun's face, which was so hot and painful.

Wang Zhengjun raised his head and looked at the crown prince Liu Zheng's eyes flashing with helpless sadness. She lightly pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, I'm not Rui'er!" I'm ......."

Who knew that the crown prince Liu Zheng hugged her harder, so tight that she was almost out of breath. The crown prince Liu Zheng said clearly: "No, you are Rui'er, you are Rui'er!" After that, the crown prince Liu Zheng lowered his head and looked at Wang Zhengjun, and Sima Liangdi's bright face naturally appeared in his eyes. He wiped away the tears from the corners of Wang Zhengjun's eyes with his hand, then lowered his head, and his gentle lips instantly touched Wang Zhengjun's ruddy and crystal lips. Wang Zhengjun's heart was suddenly shocked, she was flustered, and at this time, she felt that the warm lips of the crown prince Liu Zheng were cold, as cold as snowflakes falling, and what melted into her heart was cold frost. In the haze, her gentle eyes glanced at the crown prince Liu Zheng again, and cold tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes in the soft light.

The red curtain was pulled down, revealing a soft red beam, and the figures of the two loomed.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Zhengjun opened his sleepy eyes, and the bright light flickered blindly in front of him. She turned her head sideways to look at her, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already left. She lifted the quilt, and the intense red on the white hippa pierced her heart with a faint pain. She slowly stepped out of bed and sat quietly in front of the dressing table. Wang Zhengjun looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and felt a lot haggard overnight. She picked up the wooden comb and gently combed her long hair as shiny and bright as black jade, and a sad face faintly surfaced on her beautiful face.

"Crown Princess, you're awake!" Two palace ladies in pink dresses pushed the door in, one put the bronze basin that had been filled with water on the adjacent table, and the other respectfully walked up to Wang Zhengjun.

Wang Zhengjun looked at them and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Oh, the slave maid's name is Yazhu, her name is Lingjuan, and the slaves and maids are specially here to serve the crown princess." Yazhu, who was standing beside Wang Zhengjun, answered unhurriedly, and looked very comfortable with a friendly smile. She gently held the wooden comb and said with a smile: "Princess, let the slave maid dress up for you!" The slave will definitely dress up the princess as more beautiful than the fairy! ”

"What a clever mouth you have, girl." Wang Zhengjun looked at Yazhu with a smile, and said, "Your Highness, has he already left?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always gotten up early, so it's estimated that he will be at Bowangyuan at this time!" Ling Juan, who was making the bed, replied, after she folded the quilt, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that the Crown Princess was sleeping soundly, and specially instructed the slaves and maids not to wake up the Niangniang!" It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves the Crown Princess! ”

"Really?" Wang Zhengjun smiled bitterly, and when she saw Yazhu and Lingjuan nodding affirmatively at the same time, her calm and sad face faded into a few hints of a nonchalant smile.
