CHAPTER XXXIV

"Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen............."

The warm jade voice rang and sounded, I didn't know if it was a dream or really didn't dare to open my eyes, suddenly there was an unbearable itch on my face, I had no choice but to open my eyes, only to see the plain white clothes smiled at me indifferently, the trees around me were full of delicate, the breeze hit a picturesque pear blossom rain dancing in the air, I sat up and looked at everything in front of me in a daze, my heart was shocked.

"Zheng"

He plucked the strings, smiled in his eyes, and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to play a song with me?" Xun didn't bring a poop, but he was still asleep, I was looking forward to it for so long in vain, you yourself said how to compensate me? ”

I looked at him quietly and was silent, the tip of my nose was fragrant, I reached out and took a pear blossom flying in the air, the soft touch came from my fingertips, I looked at the flower shadow full of light in a daze, and called out a little jerky......... Pander to... Shining? ”

He looked me up and down, frowned, and said, "I haven't heard that the Ye family has two twin sisters, are you amnesia?" Or do you pretend you don't know me to avoid compensating me? ”

I looked at him quietly, and called him in a stack of voices, he was not annoyed, I called him and he answered, he was a little puzzled, "But I haven't seen him for three or five days, why has it become so strange today?" ”

A cloud of hot air surged into my eyes, and I wiped the water stains from the corners of my eyes and smiled, "Haven't you seen you for three or five days?" How do I think it's a few lifetimes away, Ah Huan, I miss you so much............."

He smiled lightly, tapped my eyebrows and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, your tongue is getting better and better!" I heard that a jade pear tree was transplanted in the depths of the pear orchard, its leaves are like jade, its Huasheng snow is like jade, the fragrance is lingering, it has lasted for a long time, I have only heard of this pear tree before, I have really not seen it, it is better to go and see it fresh. ”

I nodded in response, just about to get up and my tentacles were cold, I looked down in a trance, and found myself sitting in the brand-new wheelchair, looking up again in front of the plain white clothes had become a dragon robe crown, he stood on a high place, the power of the king was invisibly pressed, and the eyes that looked at the world were cold.

I smiled bitterly and laughed at myself, "I know that none of this is true, I can't keep it, I just .......... I just want to call you Ah Huan again. ”

Without waiting for the person sitting on the high seat to speak, I suddenly pulled off the Su hosta on the bun and stabbed it to the heart, and in an instant the scene in front of me changed suddenly, it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't breathe as if I was choked by the neck, I held the Su hosta and pulled it in the dark, only to hear a cry of pain in the dark, the restraint on the neck disappeared instantly, and I was completely sober.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a group of imperial doctors circling around me, and I looked left and right and still stayed in my cold kiln-like house, but the furnishings in the house were very different from the past, I took a deep breath and eased my mind, only to feel that my body was fluttering like in the clouds, and a figure suddenly pounced next to me, choked up and said, "Miss, Miss, you are finally awake!" ”

I asked softly, "Me..... What's going on...... Oh! In one, in one! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he jumped down, for some reason his voice was rougher and hoarse than the old woman in the farm, and the green branch lay on my pillow, wiping his tears and said, "Miss, don't worry, the young master just fainted, and there is no danger to his life for the time being, the emperor said that he trespassed into the palace and could not be spared, and he has been locked up." Obedient father-in-law Yu rushed back to the palace early this morning, and now he is kneeling and begging the emperor, Father-in-law Yu is an old man next to Lafayette, and the young master should be fine with him. ”

I half-kowtowed, and said with a long sigh of relief, "In this case, I am relieved." ”

Green Zhi choked and helped me close the corners of the quilt, and said with a forced smile, "Little master, he's fine, Miss, you should also care about your child, the doctor said that Miss's body is warm, and in winter, she will become more and more weak, and yesterday she was excited and blood was out of balance, and she lost her will, but the doctor has already prescribed medicine, as long as you insist on taking medicine, you will be fine after turning spring." ”

A little medicine boy came with a hot decoction, after the green branch fed me to drink the decoction, I fell asleep again, for a few days in the autumn Ling Xuan in the imperial doctor constantly, even if you don't take the pulse to grasp the medicine, you will stay aside and do not leave, the strange palace maid frequently comes and goes in the Xuan, not to send some seasonal snacks, or some interesting gadgets, I am concerned about a lack of heart to put on the idle body, snacks and gadgets piled up into a hill, the green branch is in the way of getting in and out of the way and then put it in a corner and shelf.

Three days later, Lu Zhi told me that Yu Yi had left the palace safely, but the emperor issued an edict, saying that Yu Yi had committed a serious crime, and from now on, anyone who did not have an edict, Yu Yi and his descendants would not be allowed to return to Beijing.

I finally put my mind at ease, the water in the capital is deep and muddy, so it doesn't matter if I don't come back, I can live more comfortably.

The snow gradually stopped, the sky faintly had sunlight refracted through the clouds, if the green branches in the past would have pushed me to the courtyard to enjoy the snow and flowers, but since I woke up, I found that she was a little different from the past, often silent, occasionally I proposed to go to the courtyard to go around, she looked for all kinds of words like a great enemy, in order to prevent me from sneaking out of bed, actually secretly hid the wheelchair.

Since drinking the pharmacy prescribed by the doctor, my nightmare has been much better, and when I return to my midnight dreams a few times, I can always vaguely see a bright yellow figure standing by the bedside, and when I want to see it clearly, the figure is gone like a ghost.

In my dreams, I occasionally felt a pair of cold and trembling hands caressing my faintly aching lower abdomen, and the trembling and astringency in those hands came clearly through the heavy bedding.

Whenever this happens, my heart is always sour, and an inexplicable sadness rolls in.

When I woke up, the pillow towel was wet, and I had tears in the corners of my eyes.

A month later, the weather became warmer, most of the snow in the palace melted away, the birds that had been hungry for a winter came out to forage one after another, and the palace maids in and out of Qiuling Xuan were also decreasing day by day.

The weather got better, and the green branches also agreed to let me get out of bed, and sometimes pushed me to the courtyard to enjoy the dead trees and snow, and the snow in the backyard also melted a lot, and the black and brown ground was exposed in some places, and the bamboo basket trap made of green branches was still resting next to the dog hole, but the bamboo basket that was held up was destroyed by the wind and snow and had a lot of black marks.

Xiao Yanzi, who always likes to go out and lie in the corner of the wall, said that there seems to be a big thing to do in the palace recently, and he saw many embroidery girls around a red brocade money threading needles and twisting threads, even the same is true of the Si Decoration Palace, which stays all night long, and I don't know what day makes the two major divisions in the palace so busy.

The green branch scolded him, taught him to love to lie in the corner, and didn't care what earth-shattering things he was going to do outside, we Qiu Lingxuan didn't care, Xiao Yanzi curled up his spine and retracted into his cabin.

I laugh at the green branch fire head is too big, Xiao Yanzi is a palace since childhood, now he is still young, he has been living at the bottom, he has not served in front of any serious masters, he has always liked to talk about it, just want to be happy, regardless of whether the sky will fall tomorrow, people want to be happy for a day today, this state of mind is one in a thousand, with him by his side to talk and laugh, the days are not boring.

The green branch was silent and did not speak, pushing me to stop under a peach tree with tender shoots, looking at this skinny peach tree with thin branches, I suddenly felt unbearable sourness between my teeth, and a nameless sadness arose.

I pushed my wheelchair forward two steps and sighed, "I know what you're worried about, isn't it just a few hairpins!" It's not that I took it, so many of them have been renovated in the past, and I'm afraid that these can't be completed! ”

Green Zhi said indignantly, "What a few, obviously two complete sets, this is not the end, even let you build a jade bone hairpin within ten days, that is, more than a dozen palms sit in one place, and it will take half a year to complete, this is simply difficult for strong people, deliberately embarrassing you!" ”

I grabbed a handful of snow and kneaded it in my hand, it was not as soft as it had just fallen, and it had become very stiff and awkward in the cold wind.

A few days ago, the palace maid of the middle palace put the mountain-like box into Qiu Lingxuan, saying that the queen's birthday was imminent, and asked me to create two sets of jewelry for the queen to choose and wear, and also named me to create a jade bone hairpin.

The jade bone hairpin is different from the ordinary hairpin, the choice of its material is the snow eagle wing bone soaring in the sky, the snow sculpture has a white jade wing bone of a hundred, and the snow sculpture is sensitive, smelling the wind will disappear, and do not like to live in groups, hunting snow sculpture is actually a difficult thing, hunting the snow sculpture with white jade bone is even more difficult.

If you encounter bad luck again, you may not meet one in your life.

After getting the white jade bone, it must be polished into a hairpin shape, and the designed pattern is engraved on the front and back sides with the yin and yang hollow knife method, and then polished and inlaid with tired silk, and the process is indeed cumbersome.

It's just that I have been tempered by my father for so many years, and I haven't taken this embarrassment seriously.

This jade bone hairpin is just a hairpin ornament that can only be bought for some more silver taels to others, but it has an important meaning to me.

It is rumored that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was very fond of his wife, that is, the great-mother of the world's ancestors, the Yellow Emperor and the ancestors of the deer cart together, the couple was deeply affectionate, regarded as a model of the love of the emperor and queen of the world.

When he was young, the Yellow Emperor was high-spirited, shot the cannibal carving of the disaster, cut its white jade bone and gave it to the ancestor Niangniang, the ancestor Niangniang personally polished it into a hairpin, although the workmanship is not as fine as the palm treasure, but after all, it is from the hands of the ancestor Niangniang, behind the ancestor Niangniang, the Yellow Emperor will always take the jade bone hairpin with him, and the feelings of the emperor and queen shake the heaven and earth.

Since then, the folk have also gained a custom, the man must first shoot a flying eagle to the woman, regardless of whether there is a jade bone in the flying carving, the woman has to polish the ribs on the root of its wings into a hairpin, and wear it out of the pavilion when marrying, in order to show the deep love between men and women, the meaning of harmony between husband and wife.

It's just that this custom has been diluted for thousands of years, and now it has long been faded and can not be faded anymore, and I also knew this former custom by coincidence, because the emperor's deep love is really desirable and moving, and this jade bone hairpin has become the treasure in my heart.

And this treasure is the deepest secret hidden in my heart, which only one person in the world knows.

That day, the pear blossoms were thick, I sat with him in the listening pavilion to enjoy the flowers, a yellow finch flew to stand in the flower branches and chirped and whispered, I joked, "I heard that the Yellow Emperor gave the ancestor Niangniang white jade carved bones, and added a custom of carving bones to love." Now the times have passed, but not to say that this custom has passed, only the carving shadow is difficult to find, I dare not think about the white jade carved bones, in the future you send me two little yellow finches, the yellow finch is good throat, and it is also happy to listen to the song. ”

He smiled indifferently, raised his eyes to look at the twilight at the end of the sea of flowers, and said to me, "Since Zhen Zhen likes it, why replace Zhen with flaws, as long as Zhen Zhen is happy, it is to find all the white jade bones in the world and give them to Zhen Zhen, and I am also willing to eat it." ”

He sent a white jade bone, but he asked me to use it to make a jade hairpin for the woman he really loved, and the secret I had been hoping to take care of became a joke played by others.

It is said that the world is hot and cold, but in fact, the coolest person is the ruthless negative person.

Ten days later, I thought that there would be a palace maid to pick up the white jade bone hairpin that was made, but who knew that Xiao Yanzi ran over in a panic, saying that the phoenix of the middle palace stopped outside Qiu Lingxuan, and the Venerable of the Mother Rite World seemed to have come in person.

Without waiting for the green branch to push me out to pick up the driver, I saw a group of people walking this way, among the palace maids, the figure of the golden emperor was particularly conspicuous, I sighed lightly, and said with a straight color, "Green branch, open the door, take over." ”

Seeing that the figure coming closer and closer, until the golden sandals in front of the threshold stopped, and when we opened our mouths to kneel to greet us, we only heard her say, "Okay, you all stand down!" This palace said something considerate to the head of the Ye family. ”

The palace maid on the side said a word and left leisurely, the green branch frowned and refused to move, and asked as if she had to look at me, I slightly bowed her head to signal her to leave, and she hesitated for a while before slowly leaving.

I haven't seen Meng Le for a long time, and now there is a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and the heroic expression of the past is completely gone, and every move is permeated with the tenderness of women and the majesty of the queen.

The slender white jade hand gently rests on the lower abdomen that has been bulging but not yet obvious, and the ups and downs of the lower abdomen are full of the brilliance of maternal love, and the unconcealable expectation and tenderness in the eyes are overflowing.

The figure with a heavy burden turned around me, and said in his mouth, "Although the sparrow is small, it has everything, this Qiu Lingxuan is not as devastated as it looks from the outside, but it still has a pure elegance, such a beautiful woman, no wonder the emperor always remembers it in his heart." ”

I saluted and said, "The queen is joking, don't dare to be a slave of sin!" ”

I held the jade bone hairpin in the red silk gold plate high, she glanced at it slightly, then put the hairpin in her hand to play, I took out the pattern drawn on the side and said to her, "The jade bone hairpin is taken from the wing bone of the carving, made into a hairpin to wear, not only light as nothing, when the wind passes, it will also sound crisp, very pleasant to the ear." ”

"The sin slave polished the jade bone hairpin into the shape of an acacia flower, and used two carvings of yin and yang hollowing out on it, and carved a phoenix and a phoenix on the front, and the phoenix and the song to show the deep affection of the emperor and queen. The reverse side is engraved with smoke and waves, and the sea of clouds is vast, in order to show that the country is prosperous and prosperous, and the people are strong. The jade bone hairpin stands in the sun, and the yin and yang reflect each other in two moments, scorching its brilliance. The sin slave is clumsy, offering this flaw, and I hope the queen will not blame it! ”

She sighed lightly, threw the jade bone hairpin back into the tray casually, and said with a smile: "If you talk about the craftsmanship of hairpins in the world, you have the second, I'm afraid no one dares to recognize the first." ”

I said, "The queen mother praises falsely, and the sin slave is afraid." ”

She smiled again, "You and I have known each other for more than ten years, and your lawless temperament is clear in this palace, and I am afraid that the word panic was said earlier." That's it! As long as this jade bone hairpin is from your hand, it doesn't matter how the pattern is or how it is worked. You have made this good jade bone hairpin for the palace, and the palace is very happy in my heart, and you have a jade wrench as a reward. With that, he pulled an object out of his sleeve and threw it on my lap.

It is a pink-green purse, the stitches are delicate, the pattern is simple, but the years seem to be a little long, when it falls on my lap, the purse mouth suddenly opens, and a red not red black not green does not green wrench "grunt" rolled out.

My heart sank suddenly, and the cold air ran down my spine and instantly annihilated the faintly trembling limbs.

Landing on my lap was a jade wrench, carved with a cluster of vibrant orchids.

Jade is a good jade, a serious Shoushan hibiscus jade, which I personally selected. The carving is not bad, I carved it by hand.

However, the original crystal clear jade wrench finger was stained with blood, some of the blood stains have turned black and brown, and the wrench seems to have experienced a great battle, and there is a deep scar on it, which is stained by blood, which looks even more shocking.

I pressed the tense and trembling heartstrings, grabbed the bloodstained and scarred wrench finger in my hand, raised my eyes to look at the smiling eyes and asked, "Queen Mother, my father is now guarding the border on the frontier, why is this jade wrench here with you?" ”
