A year and a half later.

When Yao Jin, as the queen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was welcomed from the Hot Spring Palace to the Changqing Palace for the big wedding, the Wei State had already spent a long winter, and the shortest and warmest and most comfortable summer of the year came in a hurry, for the Yongjin Palace that had been waiting for too long, and a bunch of curious and gossipy people in the Evergreen Palace, the most anticipated day of this summer and even the whole year has finally arrived, the Emperor Wei who dominates the north, the gentle and affectionate Emperor Wei, the infatuated Emperor Wei, Emperor Wei, who can make countless women's hearts move with a frown and a smile, he is so quiet and unswerving that the position of the queen has been vacant year after year, finally, he ushered in his wife, Changqing Palace ushered in his own hostess, and Dawei ushered in his own queen.

Everyone in the Wei Kingdom is looking forward to what kind of woman can make their emperor wait for the ice and snow season after season, so that he can endure to go to the hot spring palace that has almost been ignored by him again and again, and how many gentle expectations and eyes have been there on the road between the suburbs of Beijing and the palace- In exchange for the red fireworks that kept blooming in the sky above the Evergreen Palace at this moment, as well as the gold-sprinkled red carpet that stretched for hundreds of meters outside the towering palace, with the pleasant sound of the copper bells jingling, the phoenix with a string of colorful glass beads, the whole body is embroidered with the whole gold and silver thread dragon and phoenix picture on the yellow background as the face, agarwood as the bone, and the eight corners are hung with copper bells decorated with seven treasures, and finally stopped in front of the main entrance of the Zijin Palace.

This is the second time Yao Jin has come to this place, after a few years, from the last time the heavy snow to the sunshine that sprinkles the Evergreen Palace today, this quiet and majestic palace does not seem to have changed, the person who is standing on the high steps and staring at him from a distance seems to be the same person who revealed pride in his eyebrows and eyes, and even she doesn't know why she has a deep affection for her - until this moment, until the moment when she walked in front of him and became his wife, Yao Jin still couldn't help but have a moment of confusion:

"Why......? Nothing, nothing, but you still want to marry me, Wen Zihua, aren't you stupid?"

Wen Zihua, who heard this, suddenly laughed. In fact, he has been laughing today, before Yao Jin walked in front of him, he had always maintained the happiest and most decent smile at the emperor's wedding, but at this moment, in the face of Yao Jin's seemingly silly question, his smile suddenly bloomed into a flower, and Yao Jin, who was facing this flower, was suddenly confused, and stammered: "Why are you smiling...... Also, it's so nice to laugh at......"

Yao Jin muttered in his heart, why is this person so good-looking? Why is this person still so good-looking after so many years...... Wen Zihua saw that her eyes were turned to the side, her long eyelashes were motionless, and her fair cheeks were a faint red, which contrasted with the red lips so delicate, but she couldn't help muttering, Wen Zihua couldn't help but reach out and raise her face slightly to face herself:

"Yao Jin, listen to me. ”

"Huh?"

"From today on, from this moment on, you are my wife, Yao Jin is Wen Zihua's wife, this is what you promised me, I promised you, right?"

"Yes. ”

"No matter where you and I are going, no matter how long you and I have a long road ahead, shake hands with me, from the clouds to the underground, we share the cold waves, wind and thunder, thunderbolts-"

"We share the haze, the drift, the haze. It seems to be separated forever, but they are dependent on each other for life—"

"Though there is no oak, you are like a kapok. ”

"Though there is no oak, you are like a kapok. ”

As the two of them said these words in unison, a huge red firework happened to be placed above their heads, like the red flowers of the kapok tree, like a flame burning in their hearts. Yao Jin looked at Wen Zihua's eyes, and suddenly remembered the kiss on Baiyun Mountain back then, the evening when she was annoyed and helpless, the faint smell of that person, it turned out that she had never forgotten all this.

It turned out that after going around all these years, she never forgot that taste.

It wasn't until this moment that Yao Jin found out that this person who had always been hiding in his heart, this person who was far away and near, always appeared and helped him at certain moments, it turned out that what he had never admitted was that she was in love with him at all, unconsciously in love, hidden in the bottom of her heart and unconsciously in love, so when she collapsed and knelt outside the palace of the Li Dynasty, looking at the fire of the glorious palace, red as blood to stain her world, she roared in pain, Shouting, but no one paid attention to her, there was no one in the whole cold street, and the whirring wind poured into her ears and could not get out, she seemed to have fallen into another space, a space that could be seen but could not get out. She can only keep regretting in this space, regretting everything she has done in the past, it was she who was wrong, every step she took to come to this world was wrong, one wrong step, one wrong step. Because if she wasn't wrong, how could so many people die because of her, how could so much pain below her and the people around her?

Yao Jin, who was like a lonely ghost, walked on the street, from night to early morning, with his hair scattered, describing withered, just walking, numbly walking. Until the first rays of the morning sun appeared in front of her eyes at the same time as the person, at that moment she only felt dazzling, and her eyes, which had shed tears all night, hurt like a thousand needles, and she couldn't help but reach out to block the sun, and yet—one person held her dry hand.

At that time, Yao Jin suddenly couldn't see, her world was dark, how much she hoped that she would drown in this darkness from now on, she broke free of that hand, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Go away. ”

The person's voice was as good as spring water, the owner of the voice approached Yao Jin, the smell of his body seemed to awaken a certain memory in her heart, Yao Jin suddenly retreated in fear, but suddenly tripped over herself, and was about to fall at that time, the person grabbed her, and he wrapped her in his arms: "Come with me, Yao Jin." ”

"Come with you? I will hurt wherever I go in this world......! Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"

"Come to me, go to my heart, I protect you, I believe in you, you haven't harmed anyone, including yourself, you just- need someone to protect you. ”

......

So for more than a year, Yao Jin, who has experienced blindness, amnesia, and mental collapse, has rebuilt herself bit by bit by Wen Zihua's company, she began to smile again, picked up and let go of all the past, pain and loss, rout and success, and those pictures that have finally become memories have a heavy or light ink color, instead of a dagger stuck on her back to make her unable to stand up-

But in those days when she couldn't stand up, it was he who accompanied her through the dark days on the Qibao Tower, it was he who was willing to listen to all her cries and shouts, it was he who understood her frantically blaming and miserable every night, he knew everything, he wrapped her with a thin and long kiss, with a warm kiss without a trace of desire, comforting her, covering her in his heart, day and night, endlessly, until Yao Jin began to stand by the railing every day and overlook the direction of the Evergreen Palace, until she muttered his name from one night, and muttered his hand to push him to pour a glass of water for herself- Wen Zihua knew that he would rebrand all her years with his name until the day his dream came, and he wanted her to be a part of his life.

Yao Jin suddenly stretched out her hand, she took the initiative to hold Wen Zihua's hand tightly for the first time, and then smiled with him and looked up at the fireworks together, at that moment, Yao Jin suddenly said silently:

"Spring in the North, I've seen it for you. ”
