When the autumn leaves were in full bloom, I officially joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info foreign minister, and finally fell on Wang Jin's son and my classmate Wang Geng. At that time, Wang Geng had already been crowned the king of Tianning County because of the help of his biological mother, the eldest princess, but in the eyes of people who didn't know it, it was inevitable that there were many stories about Wang Geng being the face of the eldest princess.

Because the Department of Foreign Affairs is a new yamen, it has always been managed by Fu Shao at first, and there is no detailed distinction between functional positions, salary procurement, etc., so it has been preparing for a while, and finally chose the day of Qixi Festival, in the newly renovated Sanlin Courtyard, officially opened, and the personnel are in place.

On the day of Qixi Festival, just after the end of the day, a celebrant deacon brought Taoist priests and lamas to Sanlin Courtyard to warm up the field and burned the Dafa incense that returned to the heart of the seven worlds. The lamas outside blew the whining and long-sounding Dafa trumpet, and played the Dafa drum with the condensation of flowers, and for a time the magnificent air gushed out with the noisy Dharma horn, Dharma drum and the endless chanting sound like ten thousand horses galloping and quicksand rolling stones.

There were already guards with knives standing on both sides of the banners of various colors and bright yellow, just waiting for the auspicious time to come, and then greeted Juncheng and others above. The Xuanzan of Honglu Temple and the front of the hall supervised the robes, pointed to the two columns of brilliant teams behind him and divided into two shifts, and carried out the weaving, chime, pottery sheng, jade bell, pipe, guqin, Guser and other musical instruments that are fully equipped with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the sound of music floats into the red leaves and windows in the Sanlin courtyard leisurely, which is particularly clear and beautiful, and oozes a sense of reminiscing about the past.

The officials who joined the company were all lined up, and according to their respective official positions, they wore new Beiming civil official robes, Wang Geng walked in front, and his face was a little dignified, which attracted many daughters to be young. He brought a new hood made by the foreign minister, and seven red, white, and blue jade beads were threaded with colorful reels before and after, and they hugged the crown in a cluster, and then suppressed it with a white jade crane. Tsing Yi weaving three chapters, each shoulder with a pink chalcedony to lead the two algae Zong Yi, the burden of plain yarn texture with the crane complement, the golden hook jade pendant four-color small ribbon, and the three-color small ribbon knotted hanging jade ring of the big ribbon tied to the jade belt word, walking between a graceful sway, fluttering like a fairy.

When Fang Juncheng handed me the jade seal, the eldest princess behind me smiled and made a gesture, which made me suspicious. When everyone didn't pay attention to continue the ceremony, I followed the eldest princess's instructions, found Xiao Gong's reason alone, bypassed the front hall, and walked straight to the west.

Not far away, there is already the eldest princess waiting with the eunuch to lead. So I followed him past the Qingyu Hall, the Jinfeng Courtyard and the Wenzheng Dock, and came straight to the middle of the hugging building behind the garden.

Although this hugging building is a little remote, but because of the red in February flowering maple garden, only appear white clouds, green shade surrounding, the stream in front of the door into a pond, the mouth of the pond is large and shallow, oval flat bottom, sparse and dwarf Yue birch planted on its side, the road is black and purple pumice, that is like a freshly burned slag, stepping on it but smooth and gentle. The large and small rocks stacked on the rockery by the pond are like spindle hairsprings, such as a hundred birds and phoenixes, if the hemp flowers eaten in the morning, and if the nine rings in the hands of craftsmen.

"What are you looking at, why don't you come in soon?" Through the soft smoke curtain, the eldest princess was already kind inside.

I hurried in and saluted. When she looked up at the eldest princess again, she suddenly felt that this year seemed to have destroyed her face with wind and frost and swords, and she had crow's feet at the end of her eyes, showing a bit of old meaning.

"I don't have much time here in this palace, but I just tell you something important. Sit down. The eldest princess said softly.

I looked in the hall and saw that there were still four gray squirrels under the nanmu chairs, so I sat on one chair. He only said, "Eldest princess, please command." ”

The eldest princess paused slightly, only waiting for the servants and servants at hand to retreat to the door, and said, "You know that the prince of the county is a child of this palace, right?" As she spoke, she only glanced at me, but she didn't seem to need me to answer, so she said, "He is in this position, and he needs you to work hard to help." ”

I had to stand up again and said respectfully, "It is the duty of the last general to assist the prince of the county, and the last general must do his best." After the words were finished, he saw the civil official supplement on his body, and he realized that he had lost his words for a while, but fortunately it was not in Xinyue, and it was not a big fault to answer the gaffe, so he was a little relieved.

The eldest princess also got up, like a mother, to help me straighten the leather collar of my undershirt, and her scarlet and golden thorn five phoenix Ji clothes on the golden Luo crushing robe brushed by my side, a burst of pear blossom fragrance that seemed to be vague wafted in, and gradually drifted back to the couch with the figure she sat back: "You don't forget your duty, this is good." Although you have nominally arranged for some foreign affairs here, in fact, you are still doing your duty as a spy. ”

"What do you say?" I was confused and couldn't help asking.

The eldest princess shook her head, smiled, and took out a jade pei from the sleeve of her robe and handed it to me. I took it with both hands and took a look, this side of the Qinglong Yanyue Guan Emperor Huangyu Pei tentacles warm, the color is extremely gorgeous, with golden yellow, red, and some light blue, the jade body itself is a rare top grade, and the red part is cleverly carved out of the red face of Guan Erye, and the light blue is carved into Guan Gong's robe and blade, and the rest is carved out of the emperor topaz, the figure and the natural jade body are integrated, lifelike and the wind, and the back is because of the words "majestic and righteous Qiqixia" engraved in the flower and fruit script, and the eldest princess cleared the letter font. Isn't that the one who sent me to track down the Pengcheng Rebellion? I suddenly recalled the events of that time, although it was only a few years, but it made people feel the vicissitudes of life, and I couldn't help but sigh for a while.

"Beiming's affairs in recent years, I always feel unpredictable, maybe the palace is old, and the lord is also old," she suddenly opened her mouth, laughing self-deprecatingly, and in an instant, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she only said quietly, "In foreign affairs, I have been discussing peace with Xinyue and Luo Wei recently, and you should do something to make a difference." ”

I felt a slight chill in my heart when I heard this, but I could only say solemnly: "Yes." ”

Hearing that the eldest princess stopped talking, I had to ask, "But I don't know how to help?" ”

The eldest princess still didn't speak, only closed her eyes, at that moment, I seemed to be able to feel the murderous thunder rising from her body, without warning, but very fierce, however, the next moment, almost I had to doubt my intuition the last moment, she just said calmly: "If you have the heart to contribute, you can always contribute." You're a smart man, and you'll understand."

As she spoke, she didn't give me a chance to answer, so she coughed lightly. When the people outside heard the noise, a group of people hugged her sedan chair. I saluted alone in the back, watched the car go, and gradually disappeared, so I was stunned for a while, and there were many things in my heart, but I still couldn't figure out a clue, so I slowly walked back to the front hall and socialized with everyone.

In the evening, after the ceremony was completed, he met Kong Lifei at the intersection of Dagongfang, who was responsible for the design and improvement of many classified military documents, and his personality was originally introverted, and he looked more and more alone in the twilight of the sunset. The beard is always half-hearted, and the two standard robes are like this all year round. I saw that he looked tired, so I couldn't help but pull him together and said: "Go to my mansion to eat, the old general Qin is not a big director now, and he teases Youyou in the mansion all day long, you are the godfather of Youyou'er who helped me choose the house, and I haven't been there yet." ”

Who knew that as soon as he talked about choosing a house in the past, Kong Lifei's face showed an indescribable state of loneliness, and with a slight movement of the Adam's apple, he squeezed out a few words from his two thin lips, "Yannian, accompany me to the Phoenix Pavilion to drink bars." ”

I was slightly stunned, but I heard him say again: "Luo'er was given Huang Chun by the lord to marry." ”

As if I had been struck in my heart, for a while it seemed that many cymbals and bells were ringing, and there was a moment of hard work, and then I calmed down a little and asked, "This, but is it General Xiong's idea?" ”

See him nod. I couldn't help but think that when I went to the Phoenix Pavilion for the first time, General Xiong decided to recruit Huang Chun as his son-in-law, and when he was teaching at the Secret Sentinel Martial Arts School, he had already been very interested in Huang Chun, which was indeed not unusual. It's just that Huang Chun and Luo'er have never had much affection for each other, so neither of them will refuse?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "What did Huang Chun say?" Isn't there a way for him to turn the matter around? ”

Kong Lifei's eyes were slightly red, and he was a little angry for a moment, and then he lowered his head for a moment, only shook his head, and said: "After Huang Chun came back this time, he excused himself not to see me again, and if this matter happened, he would not see each other." Friendship with classmates, prolonging years, I seem to only have you. ”

My nose was sour, half loud, Fang took Kong Lifei's hand and said, "How come?" I'll drink with you, but you're not in a good mood today, so it's not appropriate to go to a place like the Phoenix Pavilion where there are spies, in case you are careless in speaking, you will cause infinite troubles to yourself. Why don't you go to my house, the study room in my house is very clean, and I have done a dark cabinet treatment, and the conversation is cheaper. ”

Seeing that he was still hesitating, I couldn't help but pretend and say with a little exaggerated color: "It's not that you don't know Qing'er, I'm a big husband who is afraid of guilt, if Qing'er knows that I go to Phoenix Pavilion to drink, what does it matter, most of it will be another meal of practice." As he spoke, he tried to make a helpless grimace.

Kong Lifei also smiled reluctantly, and only said: "It's okay, although I'm a person with little luck, but I also go to play with Youyou, prolong the year, you will still be blessed after all, unlike me..."

I sighed secretly in my heart, and there was a lot of annoyance for Huang Chun, thinking that when I comforted Kong Lifei here, I went to ask Huang Chun to see what he said, whether there could be any more changes in this matter, and whether there were more deep meanings and stories behind it. For a while, while thinking about it, he galloped towards the mansion with Kong Lifei.

The autumn wind and evening sun, far away reflected the two rows of white chrysanthemums neatly placed in front of the mansion with golden light, slowly reflecting the new purple on it, and when it got closer, I saw Ling Sifu and Qin Qing two are pointing the little guys to move and place, and the white chrysanthemum reflects the purple mist from the outside to the inside. Ling Sifu and Qin Qing both turned their backs to the gate and commanded inward, when the two of them got together, the hairpin skirts behind them were all chrysanthemum-colored autumn and the evening sun, rendering an invincible shyness, graceful posture, graceful and graceful, I was slightly intoxicated, but I heard Kong Lifei laugh softly in his ear:

"'The light green chrysanthemum was small when it was small, and who knew that it could turn into purple and red flowers. In front of the brocade curtain in the court, it is not an ordinary red leaf autumn' This is Luo Wei's purple fairy chrysanthemum, there are many pots, who must have given it to you. ”

I was slightly surprised, and only replied: "Is it the purple fairy chrysanthemum in Genji's pen that 'chrysanthemum can be transformed into stratus purple, looking at the blue sky and looking up at the stars'?" That's weird, I can't guess. ”

While speaking, Qin Qing over there had already turned around and saw the two of us, beckoned to us and smiled, and let Kong Li fly in.
