Sheng Tilt is famous for two things in the world, one is Fan Sheng, who has been missing for a long time and can live and die, and the remaining one is the decennial art competition. The competition is held in early spring and March, and is divided into two categories: craft and martial arts. women's craft, the competition has embroidered female red; Men's craft, competition has piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

As for martial arts, it is the most interesting one; The number of people eliminated in a series of events such as archery and short fights will be carried out first, and the final winner will compete in a dense forest, and the final winner can get countless rare treasures.

Naturally, when it comes to this martial arts competition, everyone has to tremble a little. If you do not pass the first few items of martial arts, you will suffer the word "defeat" on your chest, and if you are a royal family, you will be branded on your face; If a person who passes the first few events wants to make it to the finals, he or she will have to sign a life and death certificate. On the contrary, if you are afraid of death, you will be branded with the word "fear" on your shoulders. In the end, the winner will kill everyone in the dense forest to be rewarded.

In order to avoid this punishment, everyone has to work hard to practice their skills. At that time, the capital city of Qingguan would be more enthusiastic than usual. Only this prince's mansion is even more cold in the midst of all the traffic.

In the cold winter of February, the plum blossoms were placed on the wall of the courtyard, and a thin jade bone was drawn out and placed in the wind and snow. Tang Yan was dressed in red and pushed out of the house by Yu Hu in a wheelchair. The wind and snow outside the door were heavy, and Yu Hu's face hurt: "Princess, let's go back." ”

Tang Yan shook his head lightly and bent down to pick up a handful of snow. Maybe it was because a pair of small hands were cold, and the broken Qiong lay on her hands, and it didn't melt.

She leaned out her reddened fingertips and stroked the soft snow, and her voice couldn't hear sadness and joy: "Yoga, I used to yearn for a heavy snowfall so much, why did I see it today, and I didn't have joy in my heart, but a sense of desolation?" ”

"Returning to the princess, the cold winter is cold, and the lyricists like to write poems at this time to show sadness, so it is not surprising that you feel sad." Yu Hu tightened his clothes and said, "Princess, it's really cold outside this house, go back to the house and rest." ”

"It doesn't matter. I've been in medicinal baths and rehab all day, and when I finally have the time to come out and look at the snow, let me stay for a while. If it's cold, go back to your house to keep warm. ”

"The princess doesn't want to go back to the house, how can there be any reason for the slave and maid to go back on their own? This is disrespectful. Yu Hu sighed and rubbed his hands, "Yu Hu naturally won't leave." ”

"Yu Hu, I told you a long time ago, I treat you and Hu Wu like sisters, how can I be called a master and a slave?" Tang Yan picked up the blanket on his lap and handed it to Yu Hu, "If you insist on this, then put this blanket on, don't get cold." ”

"This must not be!" Yu Hu hurriedly put the blanket on Tang Yan's lap again, and said, "Princess, you are a golden body, how can you compare with us cheap maids?" Not to mention that you are a few heads higher than us, this is called a sister, isn't it humiliating the saints of today? ”

"How much does the emperor know about us? What should he do? Even if you want to take my head, I can escape, right? Tang Yan couldn't help grinning when he thought about it, and said proudly, "I'm a 'poppy beauty', the most sheng light skill, if he can catch me, it will be the glory of Sheng Qi!" ”

"It's nice that the princess smiled." Seeing this, Yu Hu also smiled and said, "Yu Hu hasn't seen you smile for a long time." ”

Tang Yan smiled and exhaled, and the white mist and frost lingered around her: "Yes, I haven't laughed so happily for a long time." The snow falling from the clouds reflected the light of the dawn sparrow, but in her eyes it was like a piece of ice, or a pool of bottomless water.

Yu Hu saw that Tang Yan's smile was about to be exhausted, so he raised a topic and said, "That's right, princess." Next month is the art competition, do you still want to participate? ”

Seeing that Tang Yan was silent for a long time, she thought she didn't want to participate, so she said, "If you don't want to, I'll ask you for leave......"

"What is an art competition?" Tang Yan hurriedly came back to his senses from his memories and asked. Yu Hu hurriedly explained the specification system of the art competition to Tang Yan, and Tang Yan nodded lightly after hearing this: "This is not a difficult matter, I participated in a similar competition when I was in Yuexi." ”

"Really? The princess has taken the crown? Yu Hu's eyes lit up.

"Well, it was a relatively simple match. The number of participants is only a few hundred, and this kind of art competition is not popular in Yuexi. Tang Yan nodded lightly and sighed, "I didn't expect that I could participate in such an event in Sheng Tian." ”

"It's just that this event is too tragic, and it is said that it was deliberately built by the former emperor Lianhuan in order to please her favorite concubine Fuxin. Because of the persecution of this loyal minister of the court, she eliminated them in the name of the competition. Yu Hu added.

"Why is Femme like this?" Tang Yan frowned, "I only know that Prince Xiao is murderous, but I don't know that Yu Xin is so scheming." ”

"Princess, this past has been more than three hundred years old, and if you investigate it carefully, no one can say for sure." Yu Hu shook his head, "This Sheng Tan has changed the dynasty three times, from the Lian family to the Qin family, and then from the Qin family to the Ye family, how many variables have happened in the middle, none of us knows." ”

"It is rumored that this Prince Xiao is in love with Yuxin III, and in the first life, they tied the knot; In the second life, he lost her for the sake of wealth; In the third life, he paid that debt with his life. In the second life, he deliberately went down to Huangquan to ask for Meng Po and the king of Hades, so that he had the life of the tenth life to wait for the return of Feixin. ”

"And after that? It turned out that he was so infatuated. Tang Yan looked at the heavy snow and gently rubbed his hands.

But when Fuxin was reincarnated, she had become a dancing girl and fell in love with the prince Qin Kexuan. Xiao Hanyu was afraid that something would happen to her, so she tied the lives of the two together, and the life that Yu Xin broke was worth his life. In order to satisfy his desires, she entered the palace as a concubine and persecuted ministers who were loyal to Lian Huan to help him get right. ”

Who would have thought that when Qin Kexuan was in power, he would send someone to hunt her down. Fuxin ran to Xiao's mansion in a panic, but saw that Xiao Hanyu was already lying on the ground and dying. Fuxin happened to have the memories of previous lives at this time, but she couldn't withstand the destiny of heaven, and in the end, the two were separated by yin and yang. And Prince Xiao died on a snowy day, and since then, all the lyricists have not said that the autumn is cold and lonely, and Xue Fei is heartbroken. ”

Tang Yan leaned lightly on the back of the chair and poured out the half-melted snow: "It's a good pair of hard-working mandarin ducks." ”

"This is not the worst, there are many wild history records, before dying, Xiao Hanyu cursed her with a lifelong cultivation to live with heaven and earth, not to be injured or to die, and even gave her Fan Sheng, who was stolen by Qiu Wangshu...... Maybe she's still alive. Yu Hu groped her chin, and said after a while, "If she is still alive, then Fan Sheng, who is a living and dead, must be in her hands!" ”

"Fan Sheng? What's that? Tang Yan turned his head sideways and asked, "Who is Qiu Wangshu?" ”

Strange to say, there were hundreds of years between them, but she felt that there must be some necessary connection between her and Qiu Wangshu.

"Fan Sheng is a national treasure, but he disappeared hundreds of years ago; As for Qiu Wangshu, she was a famous thief in the previous dynasty, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and helping the world. It is also the last Shiyin clansman and the last shadow man. ”

"Shiyin clan ......," Tang Yan muttered. Yes, the cloak that protected Liang Chen that day should have come from Qiu Wangshu. But why is Qiu Wangshu's thing in his hands?

"Princess, are you alright?" Yu Hu saw that her expression was wrong, so he said, "You don't want to get cold, I'll send you back." ”

Tang Yan moved his frozen fingers slightly, and did not stop him more. The room was warm, Hu Wu sat by the stove and roasted her hands, and when she saw the two of them coming back from the door, she hurriedly smiled: "Ah, the master and Yu Hu are back?" But what fun did you go? ”

"Why, just take the princess around the door and look at the snow." Yu Hu agreed with a smile, rubbed his hands, and sat down next to Hu Wu after settling Tang Yan, "It's you, and you don't go out with the princess to play!" ”

"Why! I was clearly a surprise for my master in the house! Hu Yu pretended to hit Yu Hu, and scolded with a smile, "There are no beads!" With that, she turned her head and took out something and handed it to Tang Yan.

"What's that?" Yu Hu probed and said.

"Shhhhh......h ”

"Okay." Tang Yan smiled at her, and then opened the box, and saw a finely carved ice sculpture, engraved with her appearance. "Master, this is what the prince did for you! This piece of ice was mined from the cold river of the plentiful Mowgli City! ”

Seeing this, Tang Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up: "But the cold river that is known for not freezing water?" ”

"Exactly!" Hu Wu laughed, "Master, to meet such an infatuated master, but what about the blessings you have cultivated in eight lifetimes!" If you want to say that my Liang Chen has anything good, it is still Prince Ye who is real! ”

Tang Yan's fingers curled slightly.

But she didn't love him.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Tang Yan's face was not very good, Hu Yu thought that she had done something wrong, and hurriedly knelt down to make amends, "The master is angry!" Tang Yan shook his head in distraction, his eyes wandered, but he never looked at Hu Yu: "Hurry up, the ground is cold." ”

"It's all your fault! Makes the princess sad! Yu Hu scolded, but moved to help Hu Wu up, "Don't say such things next time!" Do you know that if you talk too much, you will lose! ”

“…… Well. Hu Wu just lowered her eyes and responded in a low voice.

"Yu Hu Hu, you go back first. I want to be alone. Tang Yan hugged the ice sculpture and sighed slightly, "Yu Hu, don't blame Hu Wu, she was unintentional." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

"Yes." The two bowed in unison, turned and closed the door. The stove was still crackling and dancing on fire, and Tang Yan only felt that the fire was getting smaller and smaller, so he burned some raw dust on it. Then he set his eyes on the ice sculpture, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
