Three days before King Yu's wedding

Under the Tang Dynasty, the lower palace broke the Zang Pavilion

Qi Carving Le was kneeling casually on the wind platform, with a drawing board in front of him, he held a pen in his right hand to dye it, and his left hand held his sleeve, tracing on the drawing board attentively, a moon-white robe covered on the ground, and his untied hair bun covered his shoulders to his waist.

The front of the lacquer carving Le Zheng is a cliff, and the broken Zang Pavilion where he is located is the youngest palace in the Linxia Palace, which was built after the lacquer carving Le Zheng was in the picture a few years ago and recruited the people, and it took a year to bury dozens of lives. This cliff is at the top of the mountain, just like the beak of a bird stretching out from the top, the Po Zang Pavilion is built with three layers of height, the design of the top is the round roof of the Central Plains, the first floor is the most spacious, only four pillars of three people hugging each other, each pillar is coiled with a headless nine-clawed black dragon, the top of the first floor is a wide sea as wide as the attic: ninety-nine double-headed dragons are depicted around it, and the top surface is engraved with a pair of giant eyes the size of a person, and the two giant eyes have the sun and the moon respectively.

The top of the mountain was originally a place where the mountain wind gathered, and the wind in all directions was howling chaotically, but in the Dang Zang Pavilion, there was no wind at all, and it was extremely calm. Qi Diaole is sitting on the first floor of what he calls "Fengtai", a graceful woman has jumped on the paper on the drawing board in front of him, Qi Diaole is gently tracing the woman's eyebrows, and a hoarse voice came out from the Po Zang Pavilion, "You have drawn nine points of Princess Yanli's beauty, but this last point is how you can't draw it!" ”

"Oh? But the master said where is the last point missing? Qi Diaole stopped the pen in his hand, and asked in a sincere tone without turning around.

"Her mind!" The hoarse voice paused, "The world can read her beauty, but how many people can understand her decision?" ”

"I see!" Qi Diaole said that, but her expression barely changed, "This path was chosen by herself, and she can be named a princess, which can be regarded as a waste of her journey." ”

"Who she is, no one knows better than you! Do you really bear it? ”

This question seemed to be asked by Qi Diao Lezheng, and for a moment he didn't move like a statue, "The coldest thing in the world is the emperor's heart, isn't this what you Central Plains people said?" This king is already the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and he will be the master of the world, and the red dust can only be red dust. After a pause, Qi Diao Lezheng added, "She used to exist in the heart of this king", and after that, he continued to finish the painting, and the hoarse voice never appeared again.

In the distance, Zhuo Lingyi slowly approached, saluted at the threshold of the wind platform, and said, "Princess Yan Li has successfully arrived at the Liang Dynasty and stayed in the royal palace of the Liang Dynasty. ”

Qi Diaole put down his brush, stared at the painting with satisfaction for a while, and turned his head to beckon: "Come, Master Zhuo come in and take a look at the painting of this king." ”

Zhuo Lingyi was ordered to step on the wind platform, walked to Qi Diao Le Zheng and knelt down at a distance of half a person, but Fang looked up and saw Qi Diao Le Zheng feigning anger and said: "Zhuo Master always refuses to be thousands of miles away from this king, sit closer!" Zhuo Lingyi had no choice but to move closer, and raised her eyes to see the painting.

"How? Like? ”

"It's very close, and the appearance and charm are just right."

"Close? Do you mean or not exactly alike? ”

"King Hui Khan, there are some aspirations that can never be traced with a brush."

It's "mind" again! This is the second time that Qi Diao Le is hearing this word in a short period of time, mind? Is that all she wants? Qi Diaole was staring at the painting, staring at it for a long time, but he still couldn't see how their so-called "will" was embodied.

"Do you think this king has done something wrong?"

"This is Yan Li's own choice, she is for the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Khan is also for the Tang Dynasty!"

Yes, yes, everything I do is for the next Don! Qi Diaole was suddenly relieved, and the tense expression on his face also relaxed, "Ling Yi, you win my heart the most!" A hand slowly stretched out to Zhuo Lingyi's crescent-like jaw, the latter leaned back very naturally, his expression did not change at all, Qi Diaole was not angry when he missed, in fact, he was used to it, he withdrew his hand and ordered: "Act according to the original plan, let Yan Tong send back as soon as he has news!" ”

Zhuo Lingyi bowed her head slightly and got up to leave, Qi Diaole was no longer looking at her but kept staring at the scroll, and finally tore it into the air and let all the pieces fall off the cliff.

Two days before King Yu's wedding

Liang Xiangge

In the boudoir, the brocade clothes and embroidered shoes have been neatly placed, and there are also motionless delicacies and jade food, these objects that will make mortals salivate have not entered the lacquer carving eyes at all, she is still the clothes she wore when she set off from the Tang Dynasty, sitting sideways in front of the window, her hands folded on the railing, her beautiful head leaning against the window a little listlessly, looking at the direction of the Liang Dynasty Palace. Since coming to the Liang Dynasty, for five days, every day has been like this, sitting all day, just staring at the direction of the palace, the maids and maids thought that the Tang princess missed her hometown, and combined with her own life experience, they all sympathized, so they served the lacquer carving Yan and left even more heart.

"Her Royal Highness Princess" The maid who was married called softly, "Your Royal Highness Princess, eat something, when you are full, the slave maid will serve Your Highness to try this wedding dress, if it doesn't fit, you have time to let people change it." ”

Qi Diao Yanli sighed, retracted his gaze, moved his somewhat sour arms, turned around and stood up and walked to the dresser, fiddled with it, and said: "Don't worry, Liang Ren tailor-made, who can question the craftsmanship of the Shangyi Bureau in this palace?" You don't have to try it, just leave it alone. ”

"Then Your Highness will eat a little bit, and then ..... day"

"Otherwise, on the day of the wedding, the cunning Liang people will see the flaws?" Qi Diao Yanli looked directly into the maid's eyes and asked, "Since I dared to come that day, I am sure that there will be no flaws, you can rest assured." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, that's not what the slave meant!"

"It doesn't matter if this means or not, you step down, I'll be quiet alone!" Qi Diao Yan turned his back and ignored the maid, the maid withdrew from the boudoir with interest, and after the footsteps disappeared completely, Qi Diao Yan Li picked up the jade luxury, but because the training was not enough, it looked like when he picked it up, but it was difficult to control the strength when he really picked up the food, and he let the food fall halfway several times.

Lifting the jade luxury and putting it close to her eyes, she carefully looked at the utensils that revealed the green luster, she was still not used to it, she still missed the days when she used a wooden spoon in the Tang Dynasty, the wooden spoon was used handy, and the food in the Tang Dynasty was more to her appetite, she was not a princess of the Tang Dynasty at that time, she had her own name, she didn't need to wear clothes that tightly tightened her waist, she didn't have to walk carefully with small steps, she also didn't have to deliberately pretend to be quite educated, saluted from time to time, spoke softly, she was the real her at that time!

Thinking of this, Yan Li sneered, turned her head to look at herself in the bronze mirror, she didn't feel that such a costume was beautiful at all, but after looking at it for a long time, she found that it was not only herself who appeared in the bronze mirror, but also him.

It was her eighteen-year-old years, grazing on the banks of the Juyan River, attracted by the sound of horses' hooves that became clearer and clearer, she had always been curious, she looked up and saw a young man galloping on horseback, the boy tied his hair in a bun with a circle of animal hair, a wide and narrow face, a powerful sword eyebrows, deep starry eyes, a straight and upturned nose, two crescent lips, slightly yellowed but not losing his spirit, a strong and well-proportioned body instigated the war horse under the crotch, and the wind could not blow his hair. The grass is no more than his horse's hooves, the clouds can't hide his handsomeness, the red sun can't compare to his vitality, he is like a god galloping past her, the moment the two meet, she clearly saw his own figure appear in his pupils, at that moment she understood that this man would be her life's follow, her peaks, her grasslands, her winds, her life.

Poof, Qi Diao Yanli laughed again, this time she didn't want to suppress herself anymore, so she smiled presumptuously, "Lezheng, do you know, since I met you when I was eighteen years old, I will be yours for the rest of my life!" To this day, I still clearly remember the situation of that day, the rich and handsome you at that time, and the heart of me that day. Lezheng, no matter what it is, for you, I am willing to do it! ”

After laughing, there was a drop of crystal pearl scratched off, Qi Diao Yan Li felt out the multicolored glass bottle that had been hidden in the chest only the size of a finger, she remembered again that Qi Diaole was handing over the colorful glass bottle to herself, he was gentler than before, and he was in the middle of the night, he was sleeping on his arm, she could still feel the feeling of him caressing her skin in her sleep, that night was the most restful night she had slept since she entered the Tang Palace, she deeply understood that from now on, such a quiet and happy night will no longer be.

"Le Zheng ......" lacquer carving Yanli kissed the colorful glass bottle, wiped the tears on her face, and restored the dignity that she should have as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a determination hidden in the dignity.

The day before King Yu's wedding

The palace of Yu has a festive atmosphere, the red lanterns are hung high, Zhang Bo commanded the people to decorate the palace and usher in the send-off, everyone is full of smiles, that is the joy of the heart, their master has always been very kind to the next person, but it is precisely because the master is not favored that people are deliberately low-key in the capital, in the past two years, the master has been awarded the title again and again, and now he wants to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, teach everyone how not to smile?

The most unsuitable atmosphere of the lively and jubilant Yu Wangfu is the King of Yu himself, since he accepted this family affair, he has not gone out of the palace door except for entering the palace every day to ask for peace, and the guests of the daily Yingmen have occupied all his time, and he is determined to leave it to himself on this last day. Flipping through the military information sent by the scouts, after basically confirming that there was no change in the border of the Liang Dynasty, King Yu lazily leaned on the back chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Your Highness," Uncle Zhang called softly outside the door.

"Come in"

Uncle Zhang walked into the study with a smile and said, "Your Highness, this is a congratulatory gift from Master Baishi. ”

As soon as he heard the name of the master, King Yu immediately came to his senses, and asked with wide eyes, "Where is the master?" Come on in! ”

"Your Highness, the master did not come in person, but Master Shen sent the congratulatory gift, and Master Shen left without entering the mansion."

"Oh?" King Yu did not feel strange about the style of the white stone master, and he began to look at this congratulatory gift - a five-layer panlong sandalwood nanmu food box, the style is simple, the carving is lifelike, reddish-brown, it looks dignified and atmospheric, but it is not valuable in any case.

King Yu lifted the first layer of lid, only to see a tall and long-tongued pastel jade pot placed in the food box, lift the lid of the pot, suddenly the tea fragrance overflowed, the bottom of the food box neatly pasted a wooden label, on the book: Junshan silver needle. "It turned out to be a fragrant tea" King Yu knowingly poured a full glass of taste, and nodded with satisfaction.

When I opened the second layer of food box, there was a plate of pastries: a jujube kernel was dotted directly above the pink balls, and the wooden plaque was called Hongguo Jujube Beads.

The third layer contains almond-sized nuts with white icing on them and a wooden sign called Milky White Cinnamon.

The fourth layer is still a pot of fragrant tea, called Incense Cloud Mist, and the fragrance is better than the previous Junshan Silver Needle.

In the last layer is still the dim sum: pale yellow pastries in the shape of four-cornered plum blossoms, each with four red dots, and eight pastries put together to form a large four-cornered plum blossom called irise-tail-solitary (zhu).

"The master is really the master, and the congratulatory gifts he gives are very different from ordinary people!" Uncle Zhang is accustomed to seeing gold, stone and jade, at first glance such a delicate pastry, quite a bit of mountains and rivers of the connotation, so that Uncle Zhang, who has some cultural heritage, is very comfortable, and can't help but admire.

King Yu is also very fond of the congratulatory gift of Master Baishi, carefully savoring every pastry, every fragrant tea, soft and sweet pastries and fresh and sweet tea suddenly make people refreshed.

"This must be Fat Kui's craft!" King Yu chewed the pastry and said excitedly.

"The old slave hasn't seen His Highness so happy in the past few days!" Zhang Bo looked at King Yu's satisfaction and felt infinitely satisfied, more delicious than tasting those delicious foods himself. "Your Highness, you can taste it slowly, and the old slave will go down and see how the people are prepared."

"There's Uncle Lao." Seeing the old man slowly withdrawing, King Yu put five boxes of food boxes side by side on the desk, from right to left: Junshan Silver Needle, Red Fruit Jujube Beads, Milky White Aromatic Tree, Incense Clouds, and Iris.

King Yu, who was quite satisfied, looked at this gift with a serious face at the moment, how Fat Kui's craftsmanship King Yu is very clear, color, flavor and flavor are a major feature of Fat Kui, even if it is placed according to the style of pastries, quite particular, but Fat Kui does not pay attention to the utensils and food boxes that hold pastries. These teapots, saucers, and food boxes were the most expensive of the Qingshan Academy that King Yu had ever seen, and it was obvious that the master wanted outsiders to focus on these utensils and delicate pastries and ignore some other details, but what details did he want others to ignore and care about?

King Yu looked at the things in front of him again, and after rummaging through his eyes, he fixed on the wooden nameplates. A tea and a pastry are interspersed with each other, and this order, which is contrary to the style of the beam, is the answer, and the specific answer is in these names. But whether it is the end of the word or the beginning of the word, he can't always piece together a complete sentence, several attempts have failed, King Yu is a little angry, he knows that the master must want to convey some information, but he just can't guess! Just when I was bored, I looked out the window, but I saw Xuan Shaoning walking by the window.

"Shaoning!"

"Your Highness!"

"Why don't you come to my study"

"Your Highness is getting married tomorrow, I ...... The last general did not prepare a congratulatory gift. Xuan Shaoning began to look for congratulatory gifts a few days ago, but never found a suitable one, on the last day, in desperation, he was about to find Qi Wantong to ask her to help but was stopped by King Yu, as soon as he entered the house, he saw neatly placed tea and pastries, and he was quite unhappy.

King Yu laughed when he saw Xuan Shaoning's unnatural appearance, "Do you think I want your congratulatory gift?" If you can do me a favor, it will be the greatest gift for me! As he spoke, King Yu told Xuan Shaoning and his own speculation about the ins and outs of these food boxes, as for why he trusted the person in front of him so much, King Yu himself couldn't tell, after all, even Uncle Zhang, who watched him grow up, concealed it.

"In this way, does Your Highness think that this congratulatory gift is actually a reminder from the master to His Highness?" Xuan Shaoning circled back and forth a few times around the tea and pastries on this table, and thoughtfully said to himself, "The names of the two fragrant teas are indeed very distinctive, but is the master's intention not to lie in this poetic name at all, but in the tea itself?" ”

"Tea...... "Tea" King Yu chewed repeatedly, and suddenly said: "It turns out that the mystery is here!" The focus of the tea is on the tea, connecting the last word of each refreshment! ”

Mingzhu Mingshu (zhu)

Pearls are not pearls!
