Section 29 Winterfall
Summer eclipse.
Autumn break.
Winterfall.
When Lin Yuebai walked out of the dormitory of Yongyang Hall again, winter had already come, except for those solemn and deep evergreen plants in the huge courtyard, there were almost no bright colors to be seen, and the bare trees were only left with gray branches showing their teeth and claws wantonly in the pale sky; the ground was very clean, not a single fallen leaf could be seen, and there were no palace people walking around, everything seemed to be static, so still that it was even a little not like the world. Lin Yuebai opened her mouth slightly, took a deep breath of the chilly air, and in an instant, the chill reached every pore, she gently pushed away the hand of the palace maid holding her arm, and walked down the steps step by step, and walked to the middle of the courtyard.
The sound of the wind in the deep winter blew softly and heavily from every palace and every road in the palace, whether it was the solemn Zhengjin Palace, the locked Chenghuan Xiaozhu with the palace gate, the dilapidated Guanghua Palace, or the narrow and lonely palace roads in the palace, all of them accepted the baptism of winter without exception. Lin Yuebai didn't want to be an exception, she put the stove on the ground, stood alone in the wind, let the wind surround herself, covering the white fox fur on her pure white cloak, the thick white reflected her fair face slightly shining, like water, the long eyelashes on her eyes trembled slightly, as her gaze moved, when she moved to a certain place, the eyelashes seemed to stop moving in an instant.
At this moment, Li Yao was standing on the corridor not far away, looking at each other like Lin Yuebai, he was wearing the usual clothes of the lower court, and he was still holding a book in his hand, he had just come from the Zichen Palace, and he hadn't even had time to put on his cloak. But even if you look at it from such a distance, you can seem to feel his depression, you can see his black bearded chin, and the deep sadness and loneliness in his eyes. He has lost a lot of weight, and the regular clothes seem to be the material that Lin Yuebai personally selected for him when he was the queen in the past, but now that only a season has passed, the material is still brand new, but Lin Yuebai feels that he and her seem to have passed many years, many years have passed, and their hearts have aged too much, too much.
"Moonwhite ......"
"Your Majesty. ā
"The moon is white, the widow is ...... I...... Sorry ......"
"I'm sorry!"
The three words were uttered almost at the same time, but both of them were stunned. Lin Yuebai looked at him a little confused, as if she didn't expect Li Yao to say this, but Li Yao seemed to be greatly shaken, tears flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly walked quickly in front of Lin Yuebai and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Yuebai! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
"No, I...... It's wrong, it broke your heart, I lost our children, I'm sorry for you......"
"It's okay! It's okay! It's all going to be fine, it's going to be okay in the future! As long as you're still there, as long as you're still here!"
Feeling the warmth from Li Yao's embrace, the faint ambergris, Lin Yuebai was silent for a long, long, long time, but the embrace has always been so warm and warm, as if begging her - finally, she smiled bitterly, her head leaned on Li Yao's chest, wanting to raise her head, but something fell lightly on her eyelashes, Lin Yuebai slowly stretched out a hand, stretched out to the sky, one, two, three, white snowflakes fell cold and light, and slowly spread all over the world in silence. She muttered, "It's snowing...... Look, I've seen the snow for you this winter. ā
Wei State, Evergreen Palace.
"Sister, sister, I heard that no, our mysterious quasi-queen is not from our Wei country!"
"Ah, really?!But you're just a little palace maid who sends flowers to the flower room, how do you know?"
"The head of the flower house is now vigorously cultivating varieties in the south! It is said that it means the Ming Palace, don't do it, just want those common flowers in the south, you think, the emperor has always been to these Erer, and the Yiyuan Hall and Qingyun Hall have not seen a special love for flowers and plants, isn't that for the new queen?"
"Yo, look at your cleverness, maybe the new queen will take a fancy to you at a glance and pick you to be her personal maid in the Yongjin Palace!
"My sister will make fun of me! Don't talk about it, let's go quickly, there is more and more work in this Evergreen Palace right now, but we're tired to death!"
"But no, your flower room is fine, but in our clothing room, I am dazzled by the amount of materials that come every day, and I can't straighten my waist!"
"Alas, it's all for the new queen, let's go!"
Since the news of Emperor Wei Wen Zihua's wedding spread outside the palace, although it has entered the coldest season of Wei State, the people of the entire Changqing Palace seem to be carrying the soup woman on the hot wheels, and they are busy going in and out every day, not only to prepare for the various utensils and clothes and jewelry required for the wedding ceremony in the Zijin Palace, but also Emperor Wei also insisted on building a new palace for the queen to live in, and personally wrote the word "Yongjin" as the name of the palace. Although it is said that the construction of a palace for a queen who does not know the name and origin of the net worth, this matter has caused a lot of discussion in the court, but for His Majesty the Emperor Wei, who is hard-nosed and deep-minded, no one dares to write a book to admonish before knowing the identity of the queen; although there is no intersection between the Empress Dowager Yang and the concubine Li Jiaoqian in the harem, everyone knows that the two palaces are in the same vein, and the Empress Dowager Yang only mentioned this matter briefly when Emperor Wei asked for peace in his daily life, and said that since the queen is his daughter-in-law, it is also appropriate to see him before the wedding, seeing that Wen Zihua did not react and answer, she did not ask, but the concubine flew to the Ming Palace in the evening, smiling and talking, she finally asked the mysterious queen-to-be.
"Your Majesty, the Yongjin Palace is really gorgeous and beautiful, I heard that the furnishings and arrangements in it are personally selected by His Majesty, it must be too good to be better, that is, ...... I don't know when the queen's sister came, she was able to open the palace door and lead the concubines in to visit. ā
"Concubine Yuan is from a noble background, and she hasn't seen any good things since she was a child, don't you see that this Yongjin Palace is a little familiar?"
Li Jiaoqian was stunned for a moment, she was really puzzled after thinking for a while, rubbed a fox fur pendant on the neckline in her hand and turned it over, and suddenly her heart moved, and her complexion changed a little: "It seems to be ...... It seems to be a bit like Li Chao'sā"
"yes. Wen Zihua smiled and held Li Jiaoqian's hand in the palm of his hand, "It's still my concubine who is smart." With the Li Dynasty and the royal family, Shen Guifei couldn't guess it, or the widow told her, she suddenly realized, and she was still happy, but she was not as stable as Concubine Yuan. ā
Li Jiaoqian suddenly felt that her hand held by Emperor Wei was cold, she tried her best to show a normal smile, and said casually: "The concubine's brain has never been as good as Shen Gui's concubine, guessing is also random guessing, and the concubine has never been stable, it is better for His Majesty to tell the concubine, and the concubine is also happy." ā
"How do you know that Concubine Yuan will be happy when you hear it?"
Hearing this, Li Jiaoqian's smile was even more reluctant, she faintly guessed a few points in her heart, although she was shocked and angry, after a while, the person stabilized, lowered her head and pretended to say slowly: "Your Majesty, is this a concubine who is happy!"
While saying, Li Jiaoqian's heart was thinking, if the Empress of Wei was really that person, then how did she come all the way from the Li Dynasty to Wei, and how did she hook up with Emperor Wei, if it was really because Emperor Wei had no affection for her and wanted to welcome her into the palace, then what kind of attitude should she take to deal with it at that time, and whether she should be prepared in advance-
At this time, Wen Zihua had already seen what Li Jiaoqian was thinking, and suddenly stretched out his hand to take her in front of him, and said softly: "Concubine Yuan has always been my most confidant person, how can I have fun with you? Who is that person and where does it come from, Concubine Yuan knows very well in her heart, so why pretend not to know in front of me?"
