After the three of them finished talking about the case of Qi Xiushan, it was time for lunch. Situ Yan stayed in the garden to eat. Yingxian couldn't refuse, so she had to agree, but she showed a happy face. Soon, a eunuch and palace maid set up a small square table in the water pavilion and presented food and wine one by one. Before eating, two more palace maids brought a copper basin for washing hands and a handkerchief for wiping hands. After Yingxian finished rubbing his hands, his eyes fell on the food on the table. In addition to the variety of fresh vegetables stewed, the main dish is the new crab. I saw six orange-red crabs, the size of a palm, in a blue and white porcelain bowl like a golden flower blooming. The other glaze is red Ruyi, and the large bowl with a peony pattern is full of dismantled crabs. Yingxue explained that both crabs are produced in Henghu Lake, and they are directly transported to the palace when the season comes. The first way to eat is to use silver hammers, upsets, tongs, shovels, spoons, forks, scrapers, needles and other "eight crabs" as tools, accompanied by ginger vinegar; The second is to disassemble the crab, season it with salt and plum, pepper and orange, and eat it after washing your hands, so it is called "hand-washing crab".

The breeze is refreshing, the cinnamon wine is fragrant, and the beautiful crab in Liyuan is so beautiful that Yingxian does not want to live up to it. He temporarily put aside his mundane thoughts and ate in front of a pool of autumn water. Cut the big chela and crab legs, knock open the crab shell, and see that the meat is full of paste, white and tender, and the entrance is fresh and sweet. Yingxian ate happily. While eating, Situ Yan sighed in her ears, and heard her say to herself: "I heard that there is a flood of crabs in Henghu Lake this year, and I have eaten a lot of rice. Hearing this, Yingxue stopped picking the small needle of crab meat, and said softly: "'The sky should be over, and the personnel are not finished, and Aunt Wang will treat it." ’”

What kind of allusion is this? I don't know what to do, so I don't answer.

After a while, Situ Yan looked at the pond again and groaned: "'The crab is overflowing with gold due to the frost, and the orange is rich in wind and jade. Yingxian's heart fluttered again, but she was still silent, and raised her head to finish the wine in the cup.

I ate a meal for half an hour, and the atmosphere was too weird, but it was not relaxed. For some reason, Yingxian's mind replayed from time to time the various smiles that Situ Yan displayed to herself. After lunch, Yingxian hurriedly said goodbye to Situ Yan and Yingxue, and walked out of Jingyangzhai quickly. I felt depressed in my heart, thinking that it was still early anyway, so I might as well go to the Imperial Garden.

Walk south to the Imperial Brocade Garden, enter the West Garden, only to find that the scarlet Begonia Garden in spring has been transplanted with several clusters of chrysanthemums, becoming a chrysanthemum garden with gold flowing jade and refreshing spleen. As far as the eye can see, the yellow * chrysanthemum has the golden yellow, the musk yellow, the Taizhen yellow, the golden crane feather, etc., the white chrysanthemum has the white stacked snow, the white lychee, the golden cup jade cup, the joy of the thousand leaves, etc., the red and purple first-class but the planting is less. I think it is as a hidden flower, and these two colors cannot escape the vulgar and glamorous comments. Walking out of the garden, the clothes have been quietly dyed with fragrance, and it will not take long to arrive at the door of the stone hall. The last time I came to Yingxue was just a glimpse, this time Yingxian planned to take a closer look, so he stepped through the door.

In front of you is a dimly lit corridor lined with large pastel vases. The faint sky light through the carved windows on the wall not only does not increase much brightness, but it also gives people a sense of trance that today is not yesterday. The walls are sparse and speckled, like ink splashes. It was eerily quiet. Yingxian listened to the sound of her skirt swaying on the smooth and mirror-like mud gold bricks, and a coolness hit her feet, feeling like a female ghost who secretly traveled during the day.

Walk to the end of the corridor and turn a corner, and you will see the main hall where the stone seats are displayed. As soon as Yingxian entered, he saw the silhouette of a man standing in the distance. The man was of medium height, thin in build, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes fixed on a boulder in front of him. Because of the distance and light, I couldn't see his clothes and appearance clearly. Ying Xian was taken aback, how could there be a man in this harem forbidden land? On second thought, could it be a certain father-in-law? She didn't want to talk to her, so she wanted to go back the way she came, but as soon as her footsteps moved, the man sensed the wind, twisted his head, and asked, "Who is it?" "It's not a loud voice, but it hides a majesty.

Yingxian was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the man said again: "Come here." "The sound is as deep as the quiet sea under the night sky, which is irresistible. Yingxian had no choice but to walk forward. Step by step, step by step. The color and shape of the man's clothes are gradually clear, as if the relief of the curtain has been slowly removed, and the face of the figure is rhythmically highlighted - he wears a black gauze winged crown, a yellow robe with a disc collar and narrow sleeves, and the front and back and shoulders are woven with gold threads. The left shoulder is covered with a sun pattern, the right shoulder is added with a moon pattern, and a jade belt hangs on the waist, which makes him even more thin. This outfit comes into view, and no matter how stupid people are, they know who they have met.

Today's son of Yu Guo, Yongrui Emperor Situ Lang.

Yingxian suddenly met Yongrui this time, and forgot that he should visit the shrine. The pestle stood in place, looking timidly at Yongrui. Regarding the appearance of Emperor Yongrui, Yingxian had also made a lot of speculations before. She knew that he was nearly 50 years old, reigned for 19 years, was diligent in political affairs, cared about the people's livelihood, and brought Yu Guo from poverty to rich countries. Originally, I thought it was a man with a strong body and infinite energy, but this person in front of him had a pale complexion, thin cheeks slightly concave, and a pair of deep pupils like black ink pills, overflowing with a trace of coldness. The gray sideburns tell the vicissitudes of the past, but also add a few wisps of aging.

However, it can still be seen that this person's facial features are handsome and upright, which is a manifestation of the excellent bloodline of the Situ family. It's just that the years are not forgiving. Today's Situ Lang is no longer in his prime, but like a lonely patient, independent in this empty hall full of strange stones.

The eerie silence lasted for a while before Yongrui broke it. He was the first to speak: "Yingxian, is that you?" ”

Ying Xian woke up like a dream and said, "Emperor, Emperor...... It's me, Yingxian. ”

Yongrui's gaze swept over Yingxian's whole body from top to bottom, making Yingxian extremely uncomfortable. Hear him ask, "You came to the palace to see your sister?" ”

"Yes. I just came out of Jingyangzhai, and because I was idle, I came to Yujin Garden to take a stroll. I didn't expect to meet the emperor here. It is really a sin to disturb the emperor's interest in appreciating stones. ”

Yongrui said, "It's okay. Very few people come to the temple of the stone. It's boring to look at the stone alone, so why don't you also see what the benefits of this stone are. ”

Hearing this, Yingxian turned his head to stare at the boulder in front of Yongrui. It was a piece of marble that was three feet high and four feet wide. The sleek surface is interlaced with black and white textures, which is just right to form a landscape painting - a lone boat sails alone on the mighty Yangtze River under the crooked moon in the sky. The river is turbulent, and there are even more reefs. A few white marks in the air are like a few river winds, as if they are really blowing. The artistic conception of the whole picture is lonely and natural. Yingxian couldn't help but praise: "What a picture of the river and the moon sailing." ”

"You only see the river, the moon, and the boat, but you don't see this reef?"

Reef? "Your Majesty, the reef in the river, no matter how you look at this map, is only a supporting role. Yingxian was stupid, but ignored it. ”

Yongrui said: "If you don't drive a boat, you naturally don't know the dangers of boat drivers." From an outsider's point of view, you will only appreciate this poetic moonlit river, and will not consider how many reefs are hidden under the surging river. He sighed.

This has a profound meaning. Ying Xianxin said. I can't be stupid anymore. After carefully examining the boulder, Fang said, "What the emperor said is true. This lonely boat travels at night, and there are many dangers. Aside from the possibility of hitting the rocks, the waves look like they could capsize the boat at any moment. And the moon is just a hook, and it is not enough to use it for lighting. Therefore, for the boatman, how to overcome the obstacles and reach the other side smoothly is really a huge challenge. ”

When Yongrui heard this, he showed an appreciative look, but then said, "You're half right. ”

"What about the other half? Please ask the emperor for advice. ”

"If you want to travel, you can only go in the rivers, lakes and seas. Whether it is covered or carried, in short, the boat cannot survive without the water, otherwise everything will lose its meaning. But if you drive on a gentle river, over time, the boater will take it lightly and lose his vigilance. At this time, if there is a sudden reef ahead, you may be overwhelmed, and eventually the ship will be destroyed and people will die. ”

Ying Xian thought for a moment and said, "Yes." So there are usually some winds and waves, which is also a good thing for the boatman. And what about the reef...... There will always be a few shoals in the big rivers, and always be vigilant, and don't think about getting rid of the rocks and reefs. ”

Yongrui's eyes softened and said, "Even if it's a reef, it has its uses. Sometimes the boat is too smooth, and the boat rider will inevitably speed up, and even he can't control himself, resulting in a deviation from the original direction. As a result, he hit the reef and broke the bow of the ship, but he was able to pause for a moment, think carefully, adjust the direction and slow down again. In this way, running aground can also turn disaster into a blessing. ”

Yingxian let out an "oops" and stomped his foot lightly: "This is true." I didn't expect this reef uncle to have such a role. ”

Yongrui had a strange expression, as if he was trying to restrain his smile. And he said, "What about the moon?" What do children think? ”

"Hmm...... The crescent moon is weak, it seems to be nothing, but it is better than darkness. No one who sails at night will refuse his help, right? ”

The smile on Yongrui's face was like a distant star in the sky on a winter night, and the light was faintly visible: "Without the help of the crescent moon, it will be even more difficult to sail." But if the crescent moon becomes a full moon and spreads its light all over the river, then the poet will only sing the moon and the river, and no one cares about the survival of the boat. ”

Yingxian said: "In this way, the new moon is better than the full moon. However, the moon is full and the moon is lost, and the full moon does not last long. ”

"So", Yongrui pointed to the boulder: "Sitting in the heart of the river, observing the moon, the urgency of the waves, and the danger of the reef, is it not the way to drive a boat?" This is the inspiration of this painting to me. ”

A purple lightning slashed through Yingxian's heart, making her vaguely aware of the tricks of some of the links that she had been confused about before. Look at Yongrui again. After saying this, his face was filled with meager pleasure again, and the smile that was already rare was imprisoned in the prison of expression. And in his not tall body, it seemed to gather an amazing force, and the void wind and gloom that were floating everywhere suddenly stopped.

Probably this is the so-called king's momentum. Yingxian thought to herself. It's just that "the king sat down in the city of sorrow, and never smiled again." ”
