"Your Majesty? Your Majesty......"

Hearing Gonggong Qiu's voice, Emperor Mocang opened his eyes, only to see Gonggong waiting aside.

He subconsciously looked into the hall.

On both sides of the bead curtain, the two floor-to-ceiling palace lamps emitted a dim yellow light, and the bronze mirror-like ground reflected a seemingly nonexistent curtain shadow.

The huge Xuanyuan Hall is as quiet as a slur.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the monarch looked stunned, Qiu Neiguan asked worriedly. Seeing that the monarch wanted to get up, he immediately stepped forward to slowly help him up, and pulled the blanket on the couch and waited carefully.

Emperor Mocang shook his head casually at first, and then asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

After a while, Qiu Neiguan stepped aside and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, time is tight right now, and it is time to make a decision on whether to use the puppet prince at the National Celebration Ceremony tomorrow." ”

Emperor Mo Cang pinched the corners of his forehead, locked his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the time has not passed, and the time is coming."

"Wait!"

Time is tight, it is urgent, and Gonggong Qiu wanted to supervise again, but seeing the monarch's sad look, he pursed the corners of his lips and stopped talking.

Even if you wait for the results of the search by the last group of wolf guards from Julong City, what can you do? In the end, it only increases sorrow, and in the future, it adds despair to the heart.

He sighed inwardly, then lowered his head and said no more.

At this time, a small minion came into the temple.

"Your Majesty, the hairpin jade division has sent the new hosta that the prince is going to wear at the ceremony!"

Hearing this, he only taught Qiu Neiguan's heart to skip a beat, he first subconsciously glanced at the monarch, peeked at his solemn expression, and then hurriedly walked down, glanced at the little minion, and urged him to withdraw quickly.

The little minion raised his finger in surprise and picked his lips, and soon realized something, and was about to leave with the hairpin box, when suddenly there was a voice.

"Bring it in!"

The little minion suddenly looked at Qiu Neiguan with a disgraced face......

Qiu Neiguan couldn't help but whisper a reproach: "You idiot, why don't you open a pot!" Don't you have any eyesight? ”

His face was full of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

The little minion drooped his head, a little frustrated.

Helpless, Qiu Neiguan had no choice but to take the hairpin box in the hands of the little slave and present it to the monarch, feeling uneasy.

The white hosta, the snow is bright and clear, and there are faint traces of milky white in the jade color, like a swimming dragon, and under the candle flame, it is even more shining.

Seeing hostas, such as seeing the prince.

The two deep-set eyes are deep and bright, but the outline of the hosta is becoming more and more blurred.

"Fabulous!" He nodded seriously, suddenly raised his eyes, and ordered: "Order, the hairpin jade division will reward a thousand taels of silver!" ”

When the little slave heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he immediately bowed to the ground and bowed again and again, and saw Qiu Neiguan's urging eyes fly down, so he hurriedly retreated.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are glorious. ”

After a while, the Xuanyuan Hall fell silent again.

Emperor Mocang reclined on the couch, staring at the hosta, I don't know how long it has been, and in the silence, something seems to be ringing in his ears.

"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want."

He frowned and asked Gonggong Qiu, "Did Gonggong hear anything?" ”

Qiu Neiguanhu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has never heard anything. ”

"Those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want."

"Like someone is singing? You listen ......" Emperor Mocang suddenly read: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want." ”

"Isn't this what the singer sang yesterday at the Golden Temple?" Qiu Neiguan was a little sleepy, raised his head and glanced outside the hall, and said, "It should be the singer of the Furong Jade Warm Palace who is preparing for tomorrow's celebration ceremony!" ”

Emperor Mocang didn't notice what Qiu Neiguan said, but chewed repeatedly in his heart: Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want.

"What my Mocang royal family wants to get, I will only hold it tightly in my hands, and I will never wait and see. What do you want? ”

"The son is loved by his father, and he has everything that his father gave his son, and he is grateful for his endless grace, and he does not dare to have other extravagances."

"If you miss something, you must tell your father."

……

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Neiguan was worried.

"The singer is right, those who know me are my heart, and those who don't know me are what I want." His eyes were hollow, and he read word by word.

"In the past eighteen years, the palace I have given him has been inexhaustible, the treasures and treasures I have given him have filled the entire East Palace, and the title I have given him has reached the point where there is no title to add, but I have always asked him the same sentence, trace, what do you want? What exactly do you want? In fact, he lacked nothing, from beginning to end, I never really entered his heart, I never knew what he really thought, what he really cared about. I always thought that by giving him a monstrous magnate, he would be able to get a lifetime of happiness, but I was wrong! Under the thousands of favors, under the monstrous power, he did not really feel happy. ”

"I once asked him why Scarlet always likes to wear a mask. He just told me, Father, that Trace'er likes to wear a mask, which makes it more powerful and different. But now that I think about it, I realize that he lied to me! ”

"Who doesn't want to live frankly, who doesn't want to live authentically and freely, in this world, how can anyone like to live with a mask all the time, he actually doesn't like to wear a mask at all. He just didn't want others, me, to see him for what he really was. In the past 18 years, whether as a prince or a courtier, he has never made any mistakes, nor has he ever disobeyed me, others say that he is a well-deserved prince of Mocang, and the most suitable candidate to inherit the unification, but no one has ever known that in order to play the role of a good prince, he did not hesitate to hide his true self under the mask, leaving the perfect prince outside the mask, in the eyes of the world, and in my heart! In the past eighteen years, all I have seen is the disguise he has worked so hard to disguise! ”

"It's funny that every once in a while, I send a hairpin to carefully create each mask for him and give it to him as a gift! In the end, his mask was put on for him by my own hands! And he just accepted my gifts again and again! He never rejected me, but more often than not, he didn't want to disappoint me. And I always praise him again and again, sensible, and filial, but I don't know ......"

But he didn't know that all this was not what he really liked. The prince has always been happy with me, but I have never worried about him...... It's me who hurt the prince! It was I who forced him step by step onto the path of rebellion! It's all ......."

In the depths of the words, Qiu Neiguan saw that the monarch kept beating his chest, looking endless guilt and self-blame, and taught him to cry.

"Your Majesty......"

Emperor Mocang buried his head in his lap and grasped the hosta in his hand more tightly......

In the dim candle flame, the hair is like frost.

Why do hostas weep? It is expected that the hosta is also affectionate.

Qiu Neiguan had never seen a monarch look like this.

Outside the cold window, all kinds of brilliant brilliance are intertwined in the snow shadow like a waterfall, which is extremely charming.

Outside the deep palace walls, laughter and laughter gradually intensified.

This snow seems to love the heaviness of the night, and the deeper the night, the more enjoyable the snow will be.

Under the two cramped palace walls, several small figures are clustered together, and the beautiful light is getting brighter and brighter.

"Slow down, slow down, don't break it!"

"Oh my good sister, don't talk about it yet, I'm so nervous!"

"Poof, hahaha! She's still shaking! ”

"Oops! You're so annoying! ”

"Alright, alright! Shhhhhh

"Huh! Fly! Fly! ”

"Ahhh It's really flying! ”

"Hurry, hurry! Make a wish! ”

"Hmm......"

"Xiao Yunzi, you say first, what wish did you make?"

"I hope! You can eat meat every day from now on! Or...... Or one meal every three days! ”

"Forehead ......"

"Xiao Muzi, you say."

"Well, I hope that the flower I secretly planted in the backyard of Xinzhiku three days ago will not be discovered by Mama, and I also hope that it will bloom sooner!"

"What kind of wish do you have, it's worse than mine!"

"What's wrong with me! Where is it rotten? ”

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Xiao Anzi, you say."

"Hmm...... I hope to get out of the palace as soon as possible. ”

"Alas......"

"All of you, lift your heads up for me! Listen to me! I'm Mao, looking forward to it, all the wind people are dead! Our enemies are endless...... What the hell are you doing—"

"Ah Mao, you don't want to die!"

"Be quiet!"

"Oops! You see, the sky lantern has fallen. ”

"Ah......h

"Xiao Yunzi blames you! What kind of broken place did you choose, it's so narrow here, where can the sky lantern fly into the sky! ”

"It's good to be able to find a place, Gonggong Ye, who is in charge, has given an order, and the Chinese New Year's Eve is not allowed in the palace, and the wind people can see it strictly......"

"Alas...... Let's disperse! Let's disperse! ”

Sitting under the wall, listening to the sound outside the wall that was gradually extinguishing, the brow couldn't help frowning, and casually lifted the small kettle in the snow, brought it to his mouth, took a small sip, and his eyes seemed to be full of heat.

The snowflakes in the sky were falling and falling everywhere, and the snow on the palace wall was getting longer and longer, higher and higher......

He smiled again, wrinkled and striped, like a dry ditch.

"The flowers are similar every year, and the flowers are ...... every year"

A tree of snow and plum blossomed in the cold, and the curved branches were next to a red wall, climbing higher and higher, and finally showing its head at the tip of the wall, which happened to be a budding flower.

"Shhh...... It's so cold up there! What are you doing here on this cold day? ”

As soon as he climbed the eaves, a surging cold air invaded his whole body, and Bai Bait hugged his arms and shrunk his body tighter, until the thick cloak behind him was attached to his chest, and all the cold dissipated for a while.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, didn't you say you want to celebrate together? How? You forgot? Standing next to her, he asked slowly.

Her thoughts froze, and her long gaze slowly pulled into the distance, and in the depths of the heavy snow, part of Qin Huai's outline gradually became blurred.

But you can still see that the sparse sky lanterns are slowly emerging, some from the Liuye Ferry, some from Wuyi Lane, some floating above Suzaku Street, and some are buried in the shadows of the trees by the wind and snow......

"Baibait, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that it's Chinese New Year's Eve in Qinhuai soon, although this year's Chinese New Year's Eve will be very different from previous years. But fortunately, I still have you by my side, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was excellent. ”

"Don't worry, from now on, my second brother and I will be your family. I, your eldest brother, second brother, your second brother, the three of us are a family! ”

……

"I haven't forgotten."
