St. Ann's Palace is the center, Biancheng is divided into four, and the mansions of nobles and families are mostly built in the east of the city; There are many shops in the west of the city, and businessmen and wealthy gentry gather here; Most of the ordinary people live in the south and north of the city.

The Bai family has been in business for generations, and the wealth is rival that rivals the country, and the royal family relies on its financial resources, so the Bai family has a pivotal position in Chiyan. In this generation, the descendants of the Bai family have produced a general with outstanding military achievements, and the lintel of the Bai family is even more glorious.

In the east of the city, along the west of Huarong Street, there is a quarter of the size of the Sheng'an Palace, surrounded by high white walls and green tiles, and only the treetops in the courtyard can be seen is the White Mansion.

During the Shangyuan Festival, the people in the city did not celebrate the festival at home, but gathered on the streets or in front of the Baifu Gate, just to witness the grand wedding of the Bai family.

I saw two big red lanterns hanging at the main entrance, and the red wool carpet was spread from the inner hall to the street, and the orchestra and silk and bamboo were singing in unison, and there was a joy.

Bai Yi was not a luxury person, but this wedding was about the faces of the two countries, and he had to think about it.

Today, he is wearing a black wedding dress with red threads, and the whole person is lined with more handsome, but there is no expression on his face, I don't know whether he is happy or sad?

He looked up at the sun in the sky, and it seemed that the time had come, and it seemed that the procession was about to arrive.

As early as Chen, the procession arrived at the embassy. Nangong Ning got up early and dressed up the night before yesterday, and waited for the team to receive relatives in front of the embassy.

Poor Ji Qianning accompanied her, and she didn't sleep all night.

The gongs and drums were noisy, the salute was fired, and the people who watched the excitement along the way exclaimed: "Baifu is worthy of being Baifu, and the princess is worthy of being a princess, and this pomp and circumstance is not ordinary." ”

An hour later, the carriage with a golden top, inlaid with jewels, and hung with red curtains stopped in front of the gate of Baifu, and when the beaded curtain on the carriage was lifted, Bai Yi's heart was raised to his throat, he closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and shouted in his heart: "This moment has finally come." ”

When the onlookers saw this situation, they only said that General Bai was nervous when he was the bridegroom at the beginning.

"Brother Yi."

Bai Yi was awakened by a sudden female voice, she wasn't a princess, what could it be? When he opened his eyes, he saw that the woman in front of him was wearing a pale pink Luo skirt, fresh and refined but unobtrusive, and when he saw the woman's face clearly, he exclaimed: "Ah Ning." ”

"Brother Yi, Ah Ning has come to congratulate you." After saying that, he smiled and saluted him.

She was finally ready to meet the crowd.

Bai Yi helped her up, looking excited, and for a moment, his eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Yes, why bother talking about the meeting, as long as you come back.

Ji Qianning snorted and said to him with a smile, "Brother Yi, it's time to pick up your bride." ”

Bai Yi nodded, sorted out his emotions, walked to the carriage, lifted the bead curtain and took Nangong Ning.

Nangong Ning half-covered his face with a peacock fan, followed Bai Yi on the red carpet, stepped over the lintel, stepped over the brazier, and walked towards a new life.

Nangong Ning, who entered the mansion, was arranged to rest in Pujia Courtyard, Bai Yi went to the front hall to greet guests, and Ji Qianning was by Nangong Ning's side at any time. She had long heard of the magnanimity of the White Mansion, and she didn't want to remove the mansion gate, the White Mansion did not have any luxury, but the whole layout was fresh and elegant.

That's right, being a person should be as low-key and introverted as this.

Nangong Ning came to Pujia Courtyard by himself, and was so nervous that he couldn't sit still, tidying up the cloud temples and phoenix crown for a while, and tidying up the wedding clothes for a while, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Ji Qianning at all.

Ji Qianning, who was bored, wrote a note and asked the little girl to take it to the Shutong Pavilion and let her uncle come to the wedding banquet. Then he lay on the desk, watching the princess busy before and after, boredly fiddling with the tea cup on the table. I suddenly found that I didn't see Xuan Qi all the way, and I thought that maybe the dinner party would come!

Thinking like this in her heart, she suddenly picked up the pen she had just used, and took out a piece of brocade from her bosom, not knowing what was written.

Dusk is approaching, in a wave of anticipation and cheers, Ji Qianning helped Nangong Ning to the wedding hall, Bai Yi took Nangong Ning's hand, and after a while, the wedding officially began.

Ji Qianning found her uncle who had already arrived, stood in an inconspicuous corner with him, watching step by step, until the two newcomers disappeared, she smiled and left tears.

Lan'er finally married the person she loved, how happy she should be at this moment. May you and Brother Yi always be united and be together for a hundred years.

Mo Lao looked at his niece with tears on her face, and thought to herself: "My little sister is nearly twenty years old, it's time to find a marriage for her." ”

Xuan Qi came with the salute at the beginning of the wedding ceremony, and on this day, he was still holding the jade flute, but there was an extra red shirt under the ink clothes. He leaned against the door with his hands on his chest until Licheng, and when Bai Yi disappeared in a blessing from everyone, only he saw the loneliness of his back.

The wedding banquet began, Bai Yi, who had not been away for a long time, returned to the front hall again, and at a glance he saw Xuan Qi who was eating and drinking, he stepped forward, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he just raised his lamp to respect.

It's just that there is some joy, which is meaningful only if the person concerned experiences it himself.

Xuan Qi replied to him, and stopped talking, at this moment, it was difficult to even say the word "congratulations".

Bai Yi smiled bitterly at him, drank a glass of wine, bowed deeply to him, and then went to greet the other guests.

Xuan Qi's heart has mixed tastes, but the wine in the cup has not been broken.

Suddenly, a servant came to him and respectfully handed him a piece of brocade. He opened it and saw two lines of beautiful handwriting on it: "His Royal Highness King Ling is well, and the Huxin Pavilion in the house is narrated."

There is a hint of familiarity in this handwriting.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously had a smile, there was a trace of expectation in his heart, and he was inexplicably afraid, picked up the jade flute, got up and ran quickly outside the hall.

Su Wei ran after him: "Master, cold." ”

He quickly took the big coat in Su Wei's hand and draped it on his body: "Don't follow." ”

Before Su Wei could reply, he disappeared.

The snowflakes fluttered and fell down one after another, and in an instant, the branches were dyed white, leaving only the red plums in the corners of the walls to be extraordinarily beautiful.

Xuan Qi ran to the lake, lit the lights, and vaguely saw a plain-clothed woman sitting alone in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano crossed the glacial lake and floated to his ears......

Xuan Qi raised his eyebrows, isn't this piano sound the "Heartless" in "The Emperor's Death"?

He excitedly picked up the jade flute, played it to the sound of the piano, and unconsciously came to the woman.

The ensemble of piano and flute, "a perfect combination", is the most perfect interpretation of "The Emperor's Death".

At the end of the song, the snow fell even more, and the woman reached out to take a petal of snowflake, and a cold wind blew through it, blowing half of the veil on her face.

The two looked at each other for a long time, the woman stretched out her right hand, which was slightly frozen red, picked up the jade pot, poured wine to the jade pot opposite, and then put the jade pot on the stone table, and sat down with a gesture of please.

Xuan Qi sat on the stone bench with her, picked up the jade cup and drank it all, and in the whole process, the red eyes did not move away from the woman's face for half a moment.

The woman raised her hand to take off the veil on her face, and as soon as her hand was released, the cold wind blew off the veil and fell on the ice, and she smiled like a flower.

"His Royal Highness King Ling, don't come unharmed."

Xuan Qi looked at her infatuatedly, the wind ruffled her hair, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

For a long time, when the cold wind dried the tears on his face, he stepped forward with his right hand and picked up the jade pot to pour wine, and poured two glasses of wine in a row, trying to keep himself calm, but the right hand that raised the lamp and the trembling left hand holding the jade flute on the stone table revealed the excitement and ecstasy in his heart.

He wanted to rush over and hug her tightly in his arms, and never let go, but it was obviously the person he had been lovesick for three years, but at this moment, he was inexplicably nervous and cramped, and this feeling of both familiarity and strangeness made him stunned.

There seemed to be a thousand words in my heart, and I was choked with words, and only four words came out of my mouth: "It's really you." ”

When Ji Qianning saw him like this, she was inexplicably sad, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Since she went out of the mountains with her uncle, she has heard that relatives and friends have never given up looking for her in the past few years. In the past six months, there have been many opportunities to inform everyone of his whereabouts, but he was afraid to see such a situation when he met Xuan Qi today.

She was frightened, frightened, and didn't know how to face everyone, and she felt ashamed; Second, I am afraid that the fortress that I have built with great difficulty in my heart will collapse the moment I see them.

"I'm sorry." Too many things have happened in the past few years, and some lost memories have also been recalled, maybe there are too many karma accumulated in previous lives, and this life has made her miss so much......

The most ashamed thing in my heart is the man in front of me, and a "I'm sorry" is not worth it.

Thinking of this, Ji Qianning's chest was stuffy, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

When Xuan Qi saw her crying, he immediately panicked, hurriedly took out the Jinpai handed to him by the servant from his arms, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes for her, and said softly: "Don't cry, the wind is cold, be careful with your face." ”

"Bright face?" Such coaxing words suddenly made Ji Qianning burst into tears and laughed.

There was silence again......

"Sixth Prince, I want to go to the street to have a look." Ji Qianning broke the embarrassment.

Xuan Qi nodded, and he suddenly thought of a place that could make the woman in front of him happy.

The two got up and walked out of the pavilion, suddenly a cold wind blew, blowing people's faces painfully, Xuan Qi saw that Ji Qianning was wearing a thin pale pink shirt, not wearing any cloak to protect against the cold, so he took off his big coat and draped it on her body, pulled her close to his chest, and tied the streamer of the cloak.

Ji Qianning cast a grateful look at him, and her flushed cheeks didn't know if they were frozen?

When the two came to the house, Su Wei had already prepared the horse, Ji Qianning was not too surprised, maybe Xuan Qi had already passed the secret message to Su Wei for him to do.

Poor Su Wei thought he was dreaming, and it wasn't until he followed Zhiluo Street that he digested the fact that Miss Ji had returned.

……

On the Yuan Festival, the street is full of all kinds of lanterns, Zhiluo Street held a grand lantern festival, although it is snowing heavily, it has not reduced people's enthusiasm, and the people who enjoy the lanterns are still in an endless stream.

Ji Qianning dismounted, looking at this lively and extraordinary scene, his eyes were a little gloomy.

This is the moment of reunion of ten thousand families, I don't know how are my brothers? The lantern festival in Jingdu is also so lively!

Xuan Qi noticed the gloom in her eyes, so Su Wei led the horse, pulled Ji Qianning's wrist and walked forward, after several inquiries, bought two Kong Ming lanterns, and under the gesture of the stall owner, the two of them wrote down their own wishes.

"Take me somewhere." Not allowing her to say half a word, Xuan Qi pulled her forward and ran forward. The snow was falling heavier and heavier, dyeing their hair white, and she saw the corners of his mouth smiling when the lights were on.

After a while, the two arrived at a high attic.

"Where is this?" Ji Qianning looked forward, the lights of thousands of homes were hidden under the snow, and the entire Biancheng was in full view.

"Star Picking Tower, the highest place in the royal city." After speaking, he glanced at the lamp in his hand, "Write a wish on the wishing lamp, and silently pray in your heart that if you release it in the highest place, your wish will come true." ”

Ji Qianning laughed secretly in her heart, the rumored six princes who had made a decision to kill actually believed this. Then he asked teasingly: "Where did the six princes know this?" ”

Listening to her question, Xuan Qi's eyes seemed to flash with stars, and his tone was a little excited and excited: "When I was young, every Shangyuan Festival, my mother took me out of the Sheng'an Palace to put lights here, and she said that everything can be achieved as long as you are sincere." ”

Yes, sincerity is spirituality, as long as you have the heart to do something, the ending will not be bad.

When the two Kong Ming lanterns greeted the flying snow and flew into the starry sky, Xuan Qi smiled with a smile on his face: "Ning'er, it's good for you to come back." That heartfelt smile seems to melt the snow and warm someone's heart.

Ji Qianning's eyes were a little moist, and when she saw Xuan Qi clasping his hands together, his face was pious, and a warmth flowed in his heart: "Today's six princes are like children, it turns out that no matter how strong and cold a person is, he has such tenderness in his heart." ”

A smile bloomed in the cold wind, she closed her eyes, and silently prayed in her heart:

I wish the country and the people to be safe;

Second, I wish my loved ones good health;

Three Wishes......

She opened her eyes and took a deep look at him, then closed them.

May you be well and well.
