Passing through the tall and heavy gate, the eyes suddenly opened up.

The annex is built on the mountain, and from here, the pavilions of the annex are undulating, and the eaves are stacked on top of each other, and if it is spring or summer, it is reflected in the shade of green, and it is interesting to think about it. Walking along the main road, you can see small buildings or courtyards with green tiles and red walls from time to time, and after walking like this for a while, I suddenly turned to the right and entered the path.

The trees on both sides are dense, blocking the path tightly, and the tilt is feeling dim, and the front turns to usher in a little light, and extends forward. When I looked at it, it was a palace lamp lit on both sides of the path. Slowly, the lights began to flicker, and she felt the wind surging around her.

The cold floral scent hits you, and you don't know where the floral scent comes from until you reach the end of the trail. This is the Tingfeng Pavilion, there is no courtyard wall, there is no obstruction, only a piece of plum forest on the side not far away as a natural barrier.

The main building of Tingfeng Pavilion is a small building with blue tiles and white walls, behind which there are several small and unique houses faintly scattered, there is a thousand-year-old tree standing in front of the right side of the small building, graceful and generous, the posture is beautiful, a wooden swing painted red is hung under the branches, small and exquisite. On the opposite side of the main building, near the Merlin, there is a two-storey attic with a corridor on both sides of the attic that extends to the rear. Not far behind the attic, you can faintly see the flickering waves, and you can guess that it may be a mountain spring.

This is the most courtyard-like courtyard, but it is unexpectedly chic and eye-catching.

Jiang Yan stood in place for a long time, her eyes were full of nostalgia, and after taking a closer look, she did not go in the direction of the main building, but went straight to the attic.

Entering the door is the main hall, not big but clean and tidy, Jiang Yan only lingered for a while, and slowly went up the stairs on the right floor to the second floor. The second floor is surrounded by windows on three sides, spacious and bright, and the layout is extremely simple, but there is a wooden table and three wooden chairs. There was a kite hanging on one side of the wall, which was supposed to be colorful, but judging from the faded Cheng dù, it should have been shelved for at least five or six years.

Jiang Yan walked to the east side and opened one of the windows, the wind accompanied by the cold plum fragrance wafting in the room, and walked to Jiang Yan's side unconsciously, curious about what made her so focused, but she was shocked when she saw the scenery outside.

Behind Merlin is a cliff.

The cliff is bottomless, and you will feel dizzy at a glance, and the sound of hunting wind in your ears will give people the illusion of fluttering, as if you will fall down at any time.

Yun'er's face turned pale, and she grabbed Jiang Yan's arm tightly, I don't know if it was because the cliff was too steep and infiltrating, or for some other reason.

Jiang Yan rarely laughed, "Silly girl, what do you think I'm going to do?" Her gaze went beyond the window and landed in the distance, "I haven't seen you for eight years, and there is still no change here." ”

Things are people, and these four words suddenly fall into the heart.

*****

Outside the window, the moon was full, and the branches of the trees quietly fell a few shaking shadows on the window paper. There was silence all around, and the night of the Wind Pavilion was not as long as the wind howled as he imagined.

After a few tosses, he finally gave up falling asleep unwillingly, turned over and sat up. After sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, he casually put on his cloak and walked outside, hoping that the cold and exhaustion would make him more sleepy.

It's ridiculous to be called heartless for more than ten years, and it wasn't until after leaving home that he found out that he actually had a problem with recognizing the bed, but whenever he changed to a new place, it would be difficult to sleep on the first night.

The moonlight is like silver, and the branches of the thousand-year-old trees stretch out proudly, like a phoenix, guarding Qiyu Mountain year after year. Tilt slowly walked to the shade of the tree, sat on the swing and swayed gently. Her long hair was scattered, fluttering with each shake, and with the force of her feet, she leaped high beyond the shade of the trees, only then did she notice the shadows reflected on the ground, her hair fluttering, like a wandering spirit at night.

She chuckled, glad that it was remote and uninhabited, and that it didn't scare anyone.

The wind passed spontaneously, tilting her head slightly, and the bright moonlight passed through the canopy, and the stars reflected on her body and face. She closed her eyes slightly, and suddenly opened them quickly, and the strength under her feet couldn't help but slow.

In the moonlight, her face was as pale as porcelain, and she looked fixedly in the direction of the attic, and did not move for a long time. I don't know if it's an illusion, the moment she closed her eyes, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a black shadow flashing in front of her, but now when she looks at it, the starry sky is clear, and there are no other people's shadows except herself. She slowly relaxed, thinking that it should be the shadow of a tree above her head.

"Who? Come out. Just thinking about it, I might as well suddenly hear a sharp shout from behind. She was startled and nearly slipped off the swing, her hands steadying on the rope. Before she could react, there were already several bright lights behind her, and she turned her head halfway, and there seemed to be countless figures flickering behind her, but she couldn't see clearly.

Getting off the swing, she took a deep breath to relieve her frightened feelings, straightened her hair and walked out of the shade. The stronger the light, first shining on her face, and then gradually enveloping her whole body. Leaning and standing still, looking at the other party, vaguely, it seemed that he heard the voice of relief on the other side.

The visitor slowly stepped forward, with armor and boots accompanied by a long sword, like a guard's outfit. The armor was covered with a cold light, and he was heroic and upright, and his young face was full of sternness and pretense composure. The guard at the head saw that it was a weak girl, and his tone couldn't help but soften a little, but his eyes were still wary and suspicious, "The girl is serving by Mrs. Yan's side?" ”

Tilting nodded, and this appearance was exposed to everyone's eyes, which made her a little uncomfortable. A chill came, and she gathered her cloak.

This action drew their attention to her dress, and someone behind her whispered and didn't know what to say. The guard looked around without a trace, and then looked at her dress, "Girl, alone?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then understood the hidden meaning of his words, and a sense of annoyance flooded in his heart, "Otherwise? Who should I go with? Man? ”

There was a whisper from behind, but he couldn't really hear it, so he only pursed his lips and looked coldly at the back. The guard who played the head was stunned, the girl in front of her appeared here in the middle of the night in disheveled clothes, no one could help but suspect her, although her face was calm, she could not hide the embarrassment in her eyes. Obviously she was just a little girl, and she was very imposing, and he thought it was funny when he thought about it, and he looked at her again without a trace, she was a beautiful little girl.

But no matter what, they were offended by her after all, thinking of the instructions of the prince specially explained by Brother Yin, he looked back at the guards behind him and gave a warning look, and his whispering suddenly stopped.

"Please don't misunderstand, I just seemed to hear some movement here, so I came over to inspect. Mrs. Yan lives in a remote area, and the prince specially instructed her to protect her safety, and if there is any offense, I hope the girl will not be surprised. The prince drove to Qiyu Mountain, although the roads in the mountain were blocked and guarded, but no one was allowed to be careless, and asked the girl not to wander alone at night, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, in case of accidental injury to the girl is even more wronged. ”

His words were earnest, and although the scene was embarrassing to him, it was only for his official duties. She was not to blame, who let her run out in the middle of the night to her own accord.

Tilting smiled helplessly, "I can't sleep and come out for a walk, I didn't expect to alarm you." It's hard to patrol at night, so I won't delay you. After saying that, she bowed slightly and turned to leave.

The voice of the man behind started again, "I don't mean anything else, the girl really hasn't seen anyone else?" ”

Leaning tilted his head slightly, "Except for you, there really isn't." ”

Vaguely felt the firelight behind her sweeping from north to south, and it was not until she walked a dozen steps away that she heard footsteps gradually disappearing.

She looked back, and the figure was hidden in the shadows of the trees, and the light of the fire was shattered. Although she was still annoyed, she remembered the cautious and cautious expression on the guard's face, and she finally couldn't help but chuckle. I don't want to be scared, but I still accidentally scare people.

A gust of wind blew from the cliff behind, and the branches of the trees brushed with a strange creaking sound. I went to look for prestige, but I saw that the window on the north side of the attic, near Merlin, was half-open, and the wind kept opening and closing.

Thinking of the guard's words, she looked around suspiciously, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

When passing by the main building, he deliberately stepped forward. The window was pitch black, and there was no sound at all, apparently undisturbed by the commotion just now. Madame rested early today, and specially ordered them not to keep vigil, but Yun'er insisted. But looking at the hour, they should have already fallen asleep.

Leaning shrugged and turned outward, just stepping down the steps but stopped.

Bow your head and gently move your feet away, if you don't accidentally touch it, no one will notice such a piece of jade on the ground, white, the same color as snow.

Bending down to pick it up, the jade color is clear in the moonlight, and the patterns on it can be vaguely seen.

Tilt back your eyes and look deeply into the closed wood-lacquered door...... Mrs. doesn't love gorgeous clothes, doesn't like to wear gold and silver, but only this jade pendant does not leave her for a moment. When I left at night, the jade was still on my wife, but now that it has fallen here, where has my wife gone?

*****

"Madam, you are right to listen to me, and I will say yes to you." Yun'er brushed Jiang Yan's cuffs and neckline, and after a tirade, she didn't forget to pull up the leaning to prove that what she said was true.

Unfortunately, no one responded.

Yun'er turned her head away, her eyes lowered, and she didn't know what to think. shouted at her again, and then suddenly came back to her senses, and saw that the two of them were looking at her together, and couldn't help but open their eyes wide to ask.

"What? Didn't sleep well last night? Jiang Yan asked with concern.

Tilting smiled casually, "I'm used to it, it's always hard to sleep when I change beds." ”

"Since you're tired, let's go back to rest after breakfast. There is nothing left and right, and it is difficult to get out of the palace, so there is no need to abide by any rules. Jiang Yan was wearing a concubine-colored chrysanthemum blouse today, with a silver filigree trimmed Luo skirt of the same color, and there was a softness between her eyebrows and eyes. The color of her clothes made her complexion ruddy, and she rarely had a good complexion.

It's a little shaky to look at.

"Madame has said so, and you have answered. But strangely, I slept soundly last night, which is really rare. Yun'er muttered, her hand brushing Jiang Yan's sleeve.

Tilt Wan glanced deeply at Jiang Yan in the mirror, thanked her, and walked to her side.

picked up the jade pendant on the table, leaned over slightly and hung it on her waist carefully, "Yun'er is right, Madame's dress looks very good." Madame's skin is white, and others may not be able to afford this color, but Madame used to be too plain and looked cold. Let's talk about accessories, except for this jade pendant, the slave doesn't seem to have seen the lady wear other accessories. ”

Jiang Yan lowered her head, her fingers slicing a little over the jade, "After wearing it for a long time, it seems to have become a part of the body, and I feel that something is missing from my body when I don't see it for a day." ”

"Madame is a person who misses the old." Tilt muttered.

"Perhaps." The corners of Jiang Yan's lips seemed to be bent, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the jade pendant staring at her, and her smile deepened, "What?" Have you taken a fancy to my jade? ”

"The slave doesn't understand this," she smiled shyly, "I only knew that my wife wore this jade every day, but I never paid attention to the patterns on it." Du Ruo is also my mother's favorite flower. ”

Jiang Yan still remembered that she had said that her father and mother had passed away, and understood that she remembered the sentimental thing, and sighed: "So that's the case." I have seen you know a lot about flowers and plants, and I think you must be a flower lover. ”

"My mother cherishes flowers and appreciates the beauty of all kinds of colors, but unfortunately the slave and maid have much narrower hobbies. If you like it," he paused and looked into her eyes, "It seems that he prefers Mulan more." ”

"Mulan?" Jiang Yan lost her mind for a long time and held the jade pendant, "Mulan is pure white and holy, standing proudly on the branches, which is admirable, I didn't expect you to love Mulan too." ”

Poured his heart into a pang, and his hand clenched slightly.
