The night fell, and the night was as cool as water. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Huaqing Palace, Cailian closed the window, cleaned up the bed, turned her head, and saw that Xiao Guifei was wearing a plain dress after grooming, sitting in front of the dresser, in a daze at the bronze mirror, the light orchid fragrance curled, overflowing from behind the curtains, permeating her surroundings, the white smoke was misty, like a flocculent, her back was hazy, and there was a feeling of unreality.
Cai Lian was stunned for a moment, and then called: "It's time for Niangniang to go to bed."
"Isn't the emperor coming today?"
When a soft voice came, Cai Lian's heart tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Back to Niangniang's words, just now Xiaowenzi came with the news, the emperor first went to Changxin Palace to see the six princes, and then went to Wanqing Garden...... Sleep in the Heart Nourishing Hall tonight", after she finished speaking, she prostrated on the ground, waiting for Xiao Guifei's anger.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement above, Cai Lian cautiously raised her head slightly, and saw the candle flame next to the dresser flickering, and the flames jumped happily, danced, and made a sizzling sound in the night.
This night in the Qingyuan lived in the new beauty, usually whenever she heard that the emperor favored others, Xiao Guifei would lose her temper, smashing things at the lightest, beating and scolding them at the worst, why is it different today...... Doesn't the mother like to wear those bright and bright clothes on weekdays? Today, he has become plain and elegant, is it because of what happened during the day that he has changed his temperament...... was thinking wildly, but heard Xiao Guifei sigh deeply, her voice was a little helpless, and she was a little tired, "That's it, the palace is tired, you can retreat."
"Yes, sis".
Cai Lian said in her heart, the emperor has been coming to Huaqing Palace for many days, during which he also pampered two nobles, Niangniang, she was afraid that she was disheartened, she sighed in her heart, but she didn't dare to say more, bowed her head, and was about to exit the room, and heard the weak voice of the concubine, "The palace is in a panic, I want to be quiet, you also go to rest, you don't have to wait for the night, call Cai Ju to come over to guard the palace."
Usually Cai Ju for the concubine Niangniang's vigil, today, Cai Ju girl is unwell, so she went to rest, replaced by her, Cai Lian sighed in her heart, so, Sister Cai Ju is going to be tired again, she responded, quietly withdrew from the room, waved her hand, and brought out the maid who was waiting outside the hall, and ordered: "Niang Niang is not in a good mood today, you are waiting from afar, just hear her summons, don't get close to make any noise to Niangniang, when the time comes, even I can't protect you."
Inside the house, since the lotus picking went out, the silence was terrible.
Xiao Guifei looked left and right at the bronze mirror, took off the gold and peacock pattern pendant on her ears, and replaced it with a fresh and elegant orchid bud-shaped earring, walked to the bedside, paused again, raised her head, looked out the window, saw the moon like water, the shadows of the trees swaying, and I didn't know what she remembered, turned around, returned to the dresser, her slender fingers crossed a bunch of golden steps, and finally chose a white hosta to plug in, and stood in front of the incense burner, letting the light orchid fragrance stain her body, after a long time, she sighed long, Walking to the side of the carved bed, her fingers pressed on the peony carving at the head of the bed, and then rotated three times to the right, only to hear the creaking sound, she lifted the bed board, it was pitch black, it was empty, Xiao Guifei grabbed the candlestick and jumped into the black hole.
Inside, it was actually a secret passage, because it was underground, it was cold and damp, and from time to time there was a yin wind blowing, Xiao Guifei shivered, thinking about the person inside, her heart was like a hot fire, and she couldn't detect the cold.
Walk along the secret passage, go around two corners, and come to the door of a secret room, the layout is simple, there is only one bookcase, it is full of different kinds of books, the top is full of dust, as if it has not been moved for a long time, there are several huge night pearls on the desk next to it, illuminating this side of the world, in the innermost part of the secret room, separated by a screen, vaguely see that it is a place to wash.
When Xiao Guifei's gaze fell on the figure on the bed, she softened,
She stepped forward, put the candlestick aside, and said softly: "Brother Yanyu, Brother Yanyu......"
She called twice, and seeing that the person on the bed did not move, she reached out and pulled him over.
The walls of the secret room on the right are full of pits, and there are some small holes, which are impossible to detect if you don't look closely in this dimly lit place. When Xiao Guifei came in, a pair of beautiful eyes appeared at the entrance of the cave, and when those eyes saw Xiao Guifei, a trace of anger flashed, and then turned into a trace of banter.
Hmph, old woman, imprisoned men for six years!
It's really a big pervert, a dead pervert, a stinky pervert!
Looking at her coquettish appearance, she is not a good person at first glance, and she dares to bully his fairy sister, she is really tired!
The beautiful eyes of the owner slid his gaze over the man on the bed, his eyes smiled, old woman, you can slowly enjoy the great gift that this son gave you, and when you find out in the future, don't regret it.
The man on the bed was forced to turn around, a stunning face was revealed, his black hair was tied with a white slightly gray ribbon, a few broken hairs hung down, probably because he had not seen the sun for many years, his face was pale, there was no trace of blood, like a light ink painting under the eyebrows, ebony black eyes like stars, thin lips were tightly pursed, he struggled to get up, his eyes were faint, and fell on Xiao Guifei, although his body was embarrassed, he had an indescribable elegant and dusty temperament, like a lonely celestial.
He was thin, with bloodstained feet that seemed to have been badly wounded, and a wrist-sized thick iron chain hung in the corner of the bed, which looked like he had been imprisoned for many years.
After seeing this face for many years, Xiao Guifei was still amazed, she stretched out her slender hand, stroked the man's face, and showed a foolish look in her eyes, and read: "Brother Yanyu, I came to see you, why have you lost weight again, but the maid of Cai Ju didn't take care of you?" ”
The man in white flashed with a strong hatred in his eyes, and then remembered the man's command, his heart sank, and he quickly hid this hatred and turned it into indifference.
He turned his head, dodged her touch, pursed his lips, didn't say a word, and didn't look at Xiao Guifei's face, he was afraid that if he looked at himself, the hatred would be irrepressible and diffuse, and it would not be good if it was bad at that time, he had to endure it.
Xiao Guifei saw him turn his head, a trace of anger flashed in Danfeng's eyes, she took a few deep breaths, her tone was as soft as possible, and said: "Brother Yanyu, you want to smell the smell of Min'er, it is your favorite orchid fragrance, the fragrance is known, and the fragrance is only secretly held." Since there is no gentleman to wear, it is not the decline of the national fragrance. The white dew is long and early, and the spring breeze is late, it is better to be a road grass, what do you want to do, Brother Yanyu, don't you really want to look at me? ”
