Preface 1
Preface (1)
The snow melted gradually, and a few soft green had slipped onto the craggy dead branches, which were picked up by the wind, attracting the eyes of the people in the garden.
In the southwest corner of the courtyard, the red plum blossoms are like clouds, and the vigorous branches are wantonly writing in the air: the keel iron pen, the golden hook and the arrow, each of which is reckless; And the two girls who are talking and laughing under the tree don't know how much heaven and earth aura they have absorbed before they are shaped.
Both of them are in their twenties, one wearing a white mink fur and the other a yellow fox fur, and they are heavily wrapped in a body that does not hide their graceful posture. The drunken jade is the skin, the new ink is the sideburns, the eyebrows are wonderful, but the outline is somewhat similar. And the mink fur on the white fur girl is even more like a pile of snow, and there is no trace of variegation from head to toe, which adds a luxurious charm to the owner.
The light sun poured into the plum garden, illuminating the face of the yellow fur girl, but it also reflected a ray of envy. I only heard her say: "Sister, you are really a rare treasure in the world." In the past two years, I have often heard rumors in the palace that if you want to talk about the celebrity in front of the eldest princess today, it has to be Shang Yingxue. I originally thought that my sister is certainly smart, but which of the female officials in the palace of the eldest princess is not an understanding person? However, when I saw you dressed like this today, I believed it. Celestia loves you like this, it really makes me a little jealous. ”
Ying Xue said with a smile: "Ying Xian, in fact, it's not how much the eldest princess dotes on me, but she has always treated the palace people well, as long as she ...... As long as she is willing to serve her wholeheartedly, Princess Celestia is regarded as a sibling. To say that this mink fur was originally a birthday gift from General He Bingyanhe of Northern Xinjiang to the princess last year, but because I was infected with the wind and cold after turning over the year, she simply gave it to me. ”
Yingxian said: "But I also remember that three years ago, there was a palace maid named Yunmo, who accidentally stained a painting when cleaning up the study, which is not a big crime, and the eldest princess was angry and punished her to the Huanyi Bureau to wash clothes." Yunmo writes well, but he does the most heavy and lowly work, I heard that in the end, he got sick and died, and he was not recalled until he died, didn't he? ”
Yingxue's face sank, and she said, "The eldest princess herself often regrets this matter, so don't mention it." However, my sister didn't know that the "Soldier Chariot Travel" was written by a hermit in the previous dynasty. This person has the posture of Ji Kang and the style of Ruan, but he is in love with Lao Du Shizhang, which shows that he still has the heart of worrying about the country and the people, but he refuses to come out because of the obscurity of the times. ”
"So what?"
"Princess Celestia used to say, 'There are no hermits in the sundae, and all the heroes return'. If the government and the opposition are dirty, the talents of the people will be willing to grow old in the forest and springs. The eldest princess spent a lot of money to visit everywhere to find the hermit's handwriting, which was hidden in the palace and cited as a reference. You said she wasn't angry with Yun Mo? ”
"Oh...... It's a pity that the eldest princess is a woman. ”
The wind blew, a few plum trees swayed, and the snow pills fell down wrapped in thin petals, and the strings shivered a few times.
Yingxue asked: "In the past few years, you have lived outside the palace, and I don't know if all parties have taken care of it. Second Princess...... Is the second princess still as attentive to you as she was before? ”
"The second princess is good to me. But you also know that she is the last person who wants to other people's hearts. Plus...... Plus...... The matter of the horse, now she asks about it almost every day. Even when I went out to see you this time, she probably didn't know at all. ”
"It's hard for the second princess...... To tell the truth, this time you and my sisters are reunited, but I am entrusted by the eldest princess to ask you for important things. ”
Ying Xian was stunned: "Do you have something important to ask me for?" ”
Ying Xue hesitated: "However, this matter ...... But it taught me that it was difficult to speak. Either way, you promise me that I will keep it a secret. Otherwise, more than one person will be harmed. ”
"Why did my sister say it so solemnly? You and I are sisters, you are so nervous, I will be careful. ”
Ying Xue raised her eyes and was silent. Under the cold winter sun, each plum blossom is exquisite and clear, but it is weak in shape. If several flowers are connected, the fragrance is compelling, and it is indescribably bright. Yingxue seemed to be crazy.
She lowered her gaze and said word by word: "In the second princess's mansion, is there a wounded man hiding now?" ”
Yingxian Huo Ran got up and said colorlessly: "You...... You...... How do you know? ”
"Not only do I know, but Princess Celestia knows, and maybe knows what you don't know." She lowered her voice and said, "The eldest princess has already sent her henchmen to find out. That man was one of the most famous swordsmen in the Kingdom of Li, known as the Soul Chasing Sword Kuang Lian. I don't know who I offended in my country, I was hunted down and killed, and I fled to my country. ”
“…… What the? ”
Seeing that Yingxian was even more frightened, Yingxue said again: "Alas, look at it, you are still in the dark." The second princess secretly hid the swordsmen of the enemy country, if the emperor knew about it, the princess's mansion would be inescapable. I'm really afraid that something will happen to you. ”
"But...... But...... The second princess is just compassionate, I just saved an injured ordinary person, how could I expect his origin? ”
"If you don't know, it doesn't mean that the second princess doesn't know. Even if the second princess doesn't know, this name of harboring a man can damage the reputation of the second princess. ”
Yingxian said gloomily: "Since you ...... Now that you know everything, what do I do now? ”
Ying Xue's voice softened: "Sister, don't be afraid." This matter is a top secret, and only a handful of people know about it. The eldest princess asked me to tell you that she was very worried about the situation of the second princess in recent years. So I hope you can tell me about the second princess's usual life, who she has met and what books she has read on weekdays. Let me give you an idea, lest you burn it. ”
Reflecting the strings. Of course she knew what that meant.
The snow has not disappeared, the plum has not been left, and the flowers are still in the clouds, and the cinnabar is only good for last year?
"But...... The second princess has long stopped asking about palace affairs, so why should the eldest princess be too precautionary? ”
"What about her brother? The second prince and the second princess are in the same breath, if he makes any changes, wouldn't he have a ...... for the emperor What's not right? This Kuang Lian was rescued, do you say that the second prince knows or not? ”
"Alas...... Indeed, you have no excuse for the sins you desire. ”
Ying Xue hurriedly said: "Sister! It's not my sister, I'm only the eldest princess, but my foundation is not stable, and the past few years have been sinister; When I was young, I could still do my own thing in the palace and have nothing to worry about, but now that you and I are adults, if I can't distinguish the situation, I am only worried that you and I will be in trouble. ”
The eldest princess's eyeliner is afraid that it has been buried around the second princess's mansion. This is naturally very clear.
"Yingxian, the emperor has not liked the second prince for a long time...... I hope you ...... I hope you will know the stakes. You are my sister, if I can't protect you, how can I explain to our father and mother who died in vain? ”
Yingxian sighed: "I understand what my sister means. Under the dangerous nest, there are eggs! Even if the second princess and the second prince have no intention of ruling the government, the eldest princess ...... Princess Celestia won't let them go easily. ”
"What about you...... Do you say yes or no? ”
The dark fragrance blossomed, accompanied by the rising wind, jumped down from the branch and fell on Yingxian's shoulder.
"I promise you it is." Yingxian sighed.
*****
"I promise you it is." On the way home, Yingxian's mind turned over and over again with this sentence. It was noon in early spring, the warm sunlight was filling the market, the roofs of private houses and shops were all reflecting dazzling white light, and the pedestrians were in good spirits and laughing, but there was no warmth in Yingxian's heart. Do you really want to betray the second princess and report to the eldest princess? She shook her head repeatedly. However, at that time, what better way to get out was other than the right and consent? Besides, the eldest princess even knows Kuang Lian's origin clearly, so naturally she will not let go of all the people involved.
Thinking of Kuang Lian, Yingxian's heart was hot. She can't forget the situation when she rescued Kuang Lian at the beginning.
It was a day more than four months ago, late autumn was approaching, and Yingxian accompanied the second princess to the suburbs of the city to enjoy the leaves and relax. The carriage walked leisurely, and the deciduous jungle on both sides of the road slowly receded. The green trees in summer seem to be splashed with paint at this moment, wrapped in clusters of colorful flames, and they are burning to the edge of the sky. Red alone, there are brilliant vermilion, deep crimson, soft pink, poignant purple, and coquettish carmine, which are entangled and pierced to the human eye. Just when Yingxian was full of confusion, a blood-red man said that it happened to meet her eyes. She hurriedly beckoned the driver to stop and got out of the car to check herself.
I saw a young man in his twenties, lying motionless on the side of the road, with multiple injuries all over his body. The blood stained the clothes red, but it could not cover a handsome face. Yingxian's heart fluttered, and he touched the young man's snort, only to know that this person's life was hanging by a thread. Turning his head, he saw the second princess standing behind him, and said calmly: "He is seriously injured, if no one saves him, he will definitely die, let's save it." ”
Autumn outings are over. Yingxian and the coachman carried the injured man into the carriage, quickly whipped back to the princess's mansion, called the doctor for treatment and bandaging, and finally saved a life. Yingxian called the coachman and the doctor, and heard the second princess instruct: "This person's origin is unknown, but I can't die without help." His injuries will need at least a few months to recuperate, so I will put him in the wing of the North Courtyard, and you will only be allowed to take care of him. When he recovers, ask me where he came from. If it doesn't matter, let him go back where he came from. ”
Ying Xian agreed one by one, moved the injured to another room, and took care of them. Unexpectedly, the girl is at the age of the beginning of love, and the other party is a handsome and talented character, who gets along with each other day and night for several months, complaining to each other, Yingxian not only knows all what happened to Kuang Lian, but also has a strong love that cannot be dissolved, and quietly brews in the backyard of the princess's mansion.
Thinking of this section, Yingxian's heart was uneasy, and when she returned to the mansion, she didn't go to see the second princess, and went straight to the place where Kuang Lian was recuperating in the north courtyard. Stepping into the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was empty, so he walked to the bedroom. Yingxian knocked on the door, but no one answered, and knocked hard a few more times, but there was still no response. Yingxian secretly screamed badly, and was about to push the door, when he suddenly felt a fierce sword wind hitting his back; The chill came so suddenly.
