CHAPTER XIII

The next night soon came, and the ladies and concubines in the Xuanyao Hall had been transferred to other palaces, and there were only a few symbolic guards standing outside the hall.

I stayed in the room early, and after a few tents, it was Qingming, and he had already set up a yin-yang technique that the ghosts couldn't sense his existence, waiting for the appearance of Grandma Bai Fan.

"Qingming, what are you thinking?" I'm a little bored waiting.

"Nothing."

"Let's talk for a while, I don't know when the white powder grandma will come."

"Okay."

Hey, I'm a little surprised, it's the first time I've heard Qingming say yes so simply.

"Sharo, are you going to stay in the palace forever?" He said suddenly.

"How is that possible," I paused, and said in a low voice, "I, like a cloud on the horizon, can't leave anywhere." After saying that, my heart became inexplicably sentimental.

He was silent for a while, and said lightly: "But no matter how the cloud flows, it never leaves the sky, but it doesn't notice it by itself." There seemed to be a hint of a smile in Qingming's voice.

I stayed there, the clouds never left the sky, so I kept shuttling through every time and space, in the dark, is there also a sky that I have never left? So, where is my sky?

"Qingming, you really don't look like a cute teenager, you are so old-fashioned." I came back to my senses and didn't forget to tease him.

He chuckled softly behind the tent.

"Sharo, your stupid expression just now really looks like a senior brother's cat-like god."

"Ah, did you see that?"

"Huh."

"Sunny you."

"Sharo, don't speak." His voice suddenly became solemn, "It seems to be ------." ”

I was shocked, my right hand had reached into my bosom, and I pinched the charm, in case anything happened, I had to at least protect myself.

A gust of wind blew, and a layer of goosebumps immediately appeared on my body, and the coolness went straight to the bottom of my heart. The sliding door was slowly removed, and a white figure slowly floated in.

Through the burning fat candle beside me, I saw clearly the rumored white powder grandmother in front of me, to my surprise, she was kind and kind, kind and peaceful, and held a black lacquer snail box in her hand.

"Beautiful young lady, I have makeup powder here that can make you more beautiful, do you want to try it, just a little bit, you will become the most beautiful woman in this palace." There seemed to be a hint of magic in her voice, and people couldn't help but want to agree.

I stabilized my mind and quickly recited the Purifying Mantra in my heart, and my mind suddenly came to my senses.

"I want to, but I don't have the money to buy it." I whispered.

"No money, because I just need ---------" she opened the box, a sinister smile flashed across her face, and wiped her fingers with a little white powder on me, "Your face." As soon as the words fell, I heard Qingming shouting, "Sharo, get out of the way!" ”

I immediately raised a kick and kicked her hand away, when she was taken aback, Qingming was already in front of me, only to see Qingming quickly take out the charm, the seal of both hands is like lightning constantly changing, from the Donkey Kong wheel seal to the inner and outer lion seal, the whole set of actions in one go, the mouth silently recited, pro, soldier, fight, person, all, array, lie, in, the first nine words of the mantra, his charm with a dazzling golden light flew straight to the white powder grandmother, tightly entangled her.

Grandma Bai Fan's face became even more hideous, and the skin on her face began to fall off one by one, and she struggled bitterly: "My face, my face. . . ”

Qingming's face did not change at all, and she continued to recite the six vajra mantras of Guru Padmasambhava, she covered her face with one hand, but she held on to the box of powder with the other, just when she was about to disappear into the golden light, she suddenly looked at me fiercely, and threw the box at me, and the lid of the box was opened in mid-air.

The white powder like sand and dust fell one after another, strangely, but it didn't fall on me, I obviously hadn't laid down the enchantment, the powder was flying above my head, but it seemed to be stuck by something, I was surprised to find that I was in a crystal transparent bubble, as soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a bright and faint smile standing not far away, light as a cloud, chic like the wind, a reassuring smile.

Is it Qingming, is it his yin-yang technique?

I reached out and poked the bubble, but it was soft but not broken, like a sponge, is there such an enchantment? I put my whole hand on the bubble again, and sure enough, it was like sinking into a sponge again.

Qingming walked over slowly, he looked at me, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and suddenly put his hand up, just facing my palm, through the bubbles, I could still feel the temperature from his hand, I raised my eyes to look at him, I don't know if it was because of the bubbles, I think Qingming's eyes seem to be extraordinarily gentle, gentle people can't believe it, gentle make people's hearts beat...

I was shocked, and suddenly withdrew my hand, and said, "Qingming, why don't you remove this eye-catching thing quickly, you want to suffocate me." I absolutely, absolutely no longer have any inseparable relationships with the people here, they are all passers-by in my mission, and there will never be any intersection again.

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the bubbles and white powder all disappeared in an instant.

"Are you alright? Sharo. His face also returned to its usual look.

"It's okay, now that you've got rid of Grandma Powder, hurry up and report to the Lord." I smiled.

"Okay." He replied lightly.

The emperor is naturally a dragon-hearted joy, and he praised Qingming heavily, of course, even with it, I also have my share. Qingming suddenly became a celebrity in front of the emperor, plus he was already infinitely gorgeous, and for a while, many women wrote him many love letters.

In the Honghui Palace, Youji also praised my courage, this matter quickly spread, I seem to have borrowed the light of Qingming, and the popularity has been greatly improved, but people are popular and troubled, in addition to the letter of Yuan Gaoming, I also received some love letters from other sons, is this not that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong? I guess Qingming must be very troubled right now. Thinking about this, I can't help but be a little funny.

"Sharo, aren't you ready? At today's banquet, it is said that the Right Minister will perform the Aomi Wave Dance. The little prime minister walked in as he said with a look of fascination.

"Right Minister?" I was stunned for a moment, Qinghai wave was the most gorgeous and elegant dance in the Japanese court during the Heian period, the dance posture imitated the tide of the sea, and the dancers were generally the first noble sons of the time.

"Hurry up, don't keep the mother waiting. Also, I'm going to wear a formal suit today," her words hit me even more, I usually feel that it is inconvenient to walk, and now I have to wear a cumbersome formal suit, which is simply a bound brown child.

In front of the Qingliang Palace, there were already many ministers and nobles sitting there. Emperor Murakami sat behind the curtain of the imperial tent, and I followed Yuhime to the corridor where the ladies were.

To be honest, I've been here for so long, and I've never seen the emperor's other concubines. However, although there were no curtains, the ladies still used the bat fans in their hands to half-cover their faces, covering them, and I couldn't see clearly. However, after sweeping around, I didn't see Concubine Wenche.

I was puzzled, and suddenly heard a loud flute sound resounding through the sky, in the melodic melody of Qinghai waves, everyone was waiting for the right minister Yuan Gaoming appeared elegantly, only to see the women around him with a look of envy, looking up, today's Yuan Gaoming is indeed eye-catching. He was wearing a gorgeous armpit dance robe covered with bird armor, holding a bat fan of the same color, wearing a curly crown on his head, and a delicate wisteria flower on the crown.

Purple vine flowers fell one after another, dancing with the wind, his demeanor like dew towards the flowers, and the dancing sleeves flying with the wind, made the heavens and the earth increase the brilliance, making everyone seem to be in a dream, forgetting all the worldly troubles, and only the extremely charming dance of the noble son in his eyes.

At that moment, I was also confused. Like yourself. Born to be a person of the Heian period.

At the end of the dance, it took a while for everyone to come back to their senses, and Yuan Gaoming's lips hooked up a smile like a flower, which made everyone present even more amazing.

He suddenly raised his eyes to look in the direction where I was, and came into contact with his enthusiastic gaze, I quickly lowered my head, and I didn't understand in my heart, why did such a handsome noble son take a fancy to me inexplicably'? Could it be that the more you can't get him, the more interested you are?

However, after watching such a wonderful dance, I did change my opinion of him a little. The power of art is truly not to be underestimated.

I didn't sit for a while, I suddenly felt that my lower abdomen was very swollen, it was bad, I must have drunk too much water before coming out just now, in desperation, I turned my head sideways and said a few words in Youji's ear, she smiled slightly, and said, "Go and go back quickly." ”

I was just about to get up in a hurry, but suddenly I thought that there were so many pairs of eyes around me, so I quickly and slowly got up in what I thought was the most elegant posture and walked slowly out of the corridor.

As soon as I left everyone's sight, I didn't care about any lady's demeanor, I hurriedly picked up my clothes and left, this is a formal attire, how difficult it is to be convenient once.

As soon as I walked briskly to the porch, I suddenly bumped into a warm embrace, and a light breeze and a slightly cool astringent fragrance came to my nose. This fragrance, I rubbed my nose and raised my head, sure enough, it was the source of Gaoming.

"Why are you here, weren't you still in the Qingliang Hall just now?" I took a step back in surprise.

"Do you like my Qinghai wave dance?" He smiled and removed the vine flowers from his hat.

"You danced very well." I'm telling the truth.

"So, why don't you reply to my letter?" He approached me and gently placed the vine flower on the surface of my fan, "I also cherish the flower, how can I touch the branch." I've always been patient. “

"I..." I just want to solve a big urgent problem in life quickly, and I really don't have this leisure and he is so elegant.

"I've already said that ordinary people like me really don't deserve to bother so much, so I quit." As soon as I took a step, he grabbed my sleeve,

"I really don't understand why the right minister is interested in me because there are more beautiful women than me." I simply turned over and stared at him and asked.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and said, "Sharo, this is fate." ”

"I think it's a bad fate." I muttered under my breath.

He heard my whisper and couldn't help laughing, "If you want to break the cherry blossoms, you are afraid of breaking the branches." Sharo, you also have to understand my heart for flowers. His tone was gentle, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Uh-huh, I understand, I understand." I was in a hurry to get out and casually responded.

He let go, and I hurried out of the place with a very graceful pace, and went straight to the place I wanted to go most.

By the time the feast was over, it was already dark, and by the time I returned from Youhime, it was already dark. I went into the room and collapsed on the tatami mat tired, and after kneeling for so long today, my knees were almost swollen. I really don't know how they practiced it.

I lay down for a while, sat up, and rubbed my numb knees.

After rubbing it for a while, there was a slight knocking sound outside the door, "Who?" I asked.

"Sharo, it's me, little prime minister."

"Well, wait." I stood up on the ground, and the heavy clothes made it difficult for me to move. As soon as I moved the door, I suddenly smelled a familiar breeze and a slightly cool astringent fragrance, and I secretly screamed in my heart, and just about to close the door, a tall figure had already broken in.

With this scent, I don't have to look at it to know who it is.

"Little Prime Minister!" My heart tightened, and I shouted angrily outside the door, this damn little prime minister actually betrayed me. There was no sound outside the door. She must have thought it was a very elegant thing.

I settled down and said, "It's already so late, I'm afraid that Master Gao Ming is in the wrong place." ”

Yuan Gaoming had already changed into a vine-purple straight clothes, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Sha Luo, since you have made my mind clear, then you will relieve my lovesickness tonight." As soon as he finished speaking, he gently grabbed my hand. The fan in my hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Neurotic!" I cursed, reached out and pushed him away, running towards the door. But ------ I forgot the weight of my burden. As soon as he ran a step, he grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back.

Okay, okay, I finally understand, why do the women of the Heian Dynasty have to wear such cumbersome clothes, such heavy clothes definitely affect escape, just like the prisoners in the prison have a big iron ball tied to their feet, this Heian Dynasty man is ruthless, afraid that he can't catch up with MM, so he thought of such an effective bad trick, using MM's love for beautiful vanity, using beautiful and noble clothes as bait, so that MM obediently happily walked into the man's trap and let them do whatever they wanted.

As I was thinking about it, I had been pushed down on the tatami mat by him, and it was hard to stand up with such heavy clothes, let alone be held down by him. Now I am like a zongzi tied up with five flowers.

"Yuan Gaoming, didn't you say that you want to break the cherry blossoms, but you are afraid of breaking the branches. How has it changed now? I whispered, and my heart slowly calmed down, and I didn't have to worry about dealing with him at all.

"Sha Luo, don't you Tang Tu also have a Chinese poem, when the flower can be broken, it must be folded, don't wait for the flower to fall and break the branches." He smiled gracefully and held my hand firmly.

This man is quite good at making excuses. But for some reason, this man didn't give me a sense of oppression, he didn't make me feel as frightened from the heart as Cizer did, but on the contrary, I suddenly had the idea of playing tricks on him.

I laughed dryly a few times and said, "In that case, Sharo has nothing to say, please let Sharo change the clothes of the adults." ”

He seemed slightly surprised, then laughed happily again, and said, "Okay." ”

I continued to laugh dryly, reaching out to untie his straight clothes, just touched his straight clothes, I was stunned, I don't know how to solve such a complicated men's clothes, he saw my embarrassment, couldn't help but smile, took my hand and kissed it gently, and said: "Slender jade hand, I don't know how to undress." Sharo, you're so cute. Saying that, he skillfully took off his straight clothes by himself, until he was left with a single coat inside, his movements were really skillful, and he must have often stolen incense and jade.

"Sharo." He whispered, and stretched out his hand to untie my garment,

"Ahh I suddenly sneezed,

"What's wrong, is it cold?" He stopped.

"Well, it seems that the wind is blowing in, I wonder if Lord Gao Ming can go and see if the door is closed tightly." I shuddered at the sound of my own snort.

"I'll take a look." He smiled, immediately got up, walked to the door, leaned against the side of the door, looked down and said, "Sharo, the door is fine. . . Before he could finish speaking, I had already recited the incantation, and pointed to the door, and suddenly the door opened, and he could not close it yet, and fell out of the door, and the door immediately closed again.

"Sharo!" He was obviously taken aback, "Open the door, what's going on?" ”

"Master Gaoming, are you alright? Oops, I can't open the door, I'm afraid it's a ghost, you better go back sooner. I leaned against the door and grinned.

"But, Sharo, my clothes." There was a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, the first noble son only wore underwear to go home, if someone bumped into him, it would be too shameless.

"My lord, Sharo really can't open the door." I pretended to say a few words.

"Sharo, did you do it on purpose? Open the door. There was a hint of anger in his voice.

I was so happy in my heart that I still said, "My lord, let's go back quickly, otherwise someone will bump into you like this... Fear.. ”

"Sharo, you..." He seemed to be very depressed, and after a while, there was no sound outside the door.

I finally laughed out loud, Yuan Gaoming, don't think that women in the world can let you noble sons pick at will, you can eat today.

When the right minister slipped out of the palace, he unfortunately met Lieutenant General Fujiwara patrolling the palace, and this Fujiwara lieutenant general has always been unaccustomed to the right minister, so the next day, the right minister stole incense and couldn't make it, and the news of leaving the palace in embarrassment just wearing underwear spread throughout the palace, and the poor first noble son actually became the talk of everyone after dinner. Because of this incident, the right minister did not come to the palace for several days on the grounds of avoiding things.

As for the little prime minister, after agreeing to help me do everything for a whole month, I will no longer pursue her, and I also know this atmosphere in the palace, and I can't blame her entirely.

However, after this incident, the number of love letters I received suddenly decreased sharply, and from the strange eyes of others, I clearly felt that many people were very sympathetic to the Right Minister, and obviously put me in the category of not knowing what to do.

Alas, what kind of society is this.

Concubine Wenche's belly is bulging day by day, and if nothing else, it will be time to give birth in late autumn. But it's still early summer, and it seems that I'll have to live here for a long time, so I looked at the crystal on my wrist and wondered when I would be able to collect tears and save the birds.

"Sharo!" A voice with joy pulled me back from my thoughts. I looked up, and a young man in a two-blue straight shirt was smiling at me. There was also a person standing beside him, a pure white hunting clothes, a light smile, and an incomparably elegant demeanor* went to the limelight of protecting the constitution.

"Qingming!" I was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Oh, Sharo, you really made my brother sad, and you actually greeted Qingming first." Bao Xian came over and tapped me on the head with a juniper fan with great skill.

"I've been shouting my brother countless times in my heart, but you didn't hear it." I rubbed my head.

"Dare to talk back." Bao Xian wanted to pretend to have a vicious expression, but in the end, the corners of his mouth loosened and he laughed again.

"By the way, why did you come to Neiri today?"

"Just now I divined the East Palace who is about to be born." Qingming answered next to him.

"That. The result? As soon as I heard that it was related to Concubine Wenche's child, I couldn't help but ask.

"As a result, it doesn't seem to be your business." Bao Xian smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, I heard about the right minister." ”

"Ahh I smiled awkwardly.

"I didn't expect our Sara to be so popular, but..." He lowered his voice and said, "Is that rumor true?" ”

"Heh, heh, it's true." I laughed dryly.

"The woman who dares to refuse the right minister is only us Sharo, hehe, isn't it, Qingming?" He suddenly turned his head sideways and asked Qingming.

Qingming obviously didn't expect Baoxian's sudden question, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled faintly, and said, "Sha Luo has always been bold, different from ordinary women. ”

Bao Xian looked at us and said again: "I still have some steps in advance, Qingming, you will leave the door for me tonight." ”

"Brother," I smiled wickedly, "I think my brother is going on a date with a good lady again." ”

"Oh, hehehe, fortunately, no one among the young ladies I know dared to lock me out." He smiled wickedly and turned away.

"What," I said as I looked at his back, "is it true that being obedient to her fate when she is violated is a good woman in a man's heart?" A little resistance has become a big disrespect.,What's a strange theory?,Man.,It's all the lower body.。。。 I suddenly turned around and saw that Qingming was still here.,Hurriedly shut down.,It's okay.,It's okay.,It's okay.,I haven't said anything more excessive.。。 Otherwise, he will definitely be laughed at.

A smile tugged at Qingming's lips, but she didn't say anything.

"Well, well, you're just going to be crazy for me." I sneered.

Qingming continued to smile faintly, he suddenly lowered his head, a burst of the fragrance of the lake froze in my face, my brain was a little dizzy, I saw him getting closer and closer, slowly stretched out his hand towards me, I felt a little nervous, he, what is he going to do? Just when I wanted to hesitate to push him away, I suddenly heard his clear voice sound,

"Sharo, don't move, there's a terrible bug on top of your head." My body stiffened, and I quickly stood still, and I saw that he had retracted his hand, and spread out his palm, but it was a leaf,

"Oh, that's wrong." He smiled softly, a fox-like smile flashing in his eyes.

"You're fooling me, Abe Harumi!" I said angrily, Abe Harumi is a kid, I now fully believe that he must have fox genes in his body.

"It's just a mistake." He was still looking at me innocently.

"Ah,!" I hurriedly saluted behind him, and he was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned back to salute, and when he looked up, it was empty.

"Oh, I'm wrong, I'm dazzled." I copied his set, and I couldn't stop laughing in my heart. It turns out that Qingming is quite easy to be fooled.

"Sharo, you're really..." He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

"Sharo, Sharo!" Not far away, the voice of the little prime minister called me,

"I'm going over, Qingming. We'll talk about it next time. I smiled and said.

He nodded, turned to leave, and after a few steps, he suddenly stopped again and whispered, "Sharo, who locked the right minister out of the door," he paused and said in a softer voice, "------ is cute." ”

Looking at his back, I was stunned, did I hear it wrong, what did he just say? Lovely? Qingming can actually say that word, am I dreaming? How could such words come out of his mouth?

Soon, more than a month passed unconsciously, although the summer here is not as unbearable as in modern times, and I have changed to thinner summer clothes, but the layers on my body still make me feel stuffy and unbearable, and I think it is very strange, those mothers, women's rooms do not seem to be afraid of the heat, maybe they are used to it. And as soon as it enters July, according to them, it is autumn.

Since the last incident with Grandma Whitepowder, I have gradually gained the trust of Youji, and sometimes, she will let me go out of the palace to do some things for her, which are nothing more than some small things related to her mother's family.

From time to time, she will also tell me to send some things to Feixiangshe, in fact, after a few contacts with Concubine Wenche, I think she actually belongs to a relatively simple type, with a dragon in her belly, it is indeed a thing to be proud of, but she shows this emotion too obviously, which naturally attracts the displeasure of others, and I usually hear a lot of dissatisfaction from other palace maids.

The tree is very popular.,I don't even understand this truth.,It's really difficult to survive in this complicated court.。。

"I don't know when the month of July has come. Du Yu cried on the mountain, knowing that the years were encroaching. In a few days, it's the Begging Festival. Aoyanagi, the female room of the Lijing Hall beside him, said softly.

"Yes, this year's celebration will definitely be very lively again, I wonder who will perform this Jialingpin?" The little prime minister said on the side.

My mind had already flown out of the lattice window, such a gathering of the ladies was really boring, especially when I spoke, I often had to carry a few words of harmony, and it was a brain-using thing for me, if it wasn't for the little prime minister who pulled me here, I wouldn't have come.

The Qiqiao Festival turned out to be the Chinese Tanabata Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met, it turned out that this festival was transmitted from China to Japan before the Heian period, it seems that romance is still regardless of the country, every year on the night of the Qixi Festival, the emperor will invite the ministers into the palace, together with the fragrance and poetry, the banquet will last all night.

"Alas, whoever plays it can't compete with the demeanor of the right minister, don't you say, Sharo?" I was called by Aoyagi's name and looked up at her, her face half-covered, as if with a hint of a hint of teasing.

"Ah, yes," I replied. When she said this, I didn't seem to see the right minister for a long time, and after that incident, he never looked for me again, and of course, he didn't have a love letter every day, so it's okay, he was a little more crisp than I thought.

On the night of the begging festival, the weather was unexpectedly cool, the sky was full of stars, sometimes the cool breeze was blowing, and the emperor's interest seemed to be very good.

Qingming seemed to sense my gaze, and also looked up this way, I quickly waved the fan to greet him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and nodded to me.

When I greeted Qingming, I suddenly felt that someone was looking at me, and when I looked sideways, it was Yuan Gaoming, his eyes were a little complicated, I suddenly thought of his embarrassment that day, and I couldn't help but feel funny, and quickly took my eyes back.

After thirty years of drinking, the nobles chanted waka and Chinese poems to suit the occasion.

The emperor also composed a poem with great interest, "After parting today, I will travel to the Milky Way in a flash." I haven't crossed the Milky Way water, and there are many wet sleeves. The crowd immediately ran out of praises.

After several ministers also made a few songs, the ladies here were not to be outdone, especially on this special occasion, everyone hoped to show their talents in front of the emperor and win the favor of the king.

"There is an appointment with the same urgency, and the love of the two stars is strong. Once a year, how can we not meet. ”

This song of Youji was immediately praised by the emperor,

"Concubine Ai is really talented." There was a hint of tenderness in the emperor's voice.

"Concubines don't dare to be." I saw a smile of expectation on Youji's lips, maybe the emperor will be in the Honghui Hall again.

"Lord, there is also a song for concubines," Concubine Wenche's voice sounded delicately on the side, and the smile on Youji's face condensed for a second, and then returned to its original state.

Today's pregnant Concubine Wen Che participated in this banquet for the first time, she half-covered her face, and said softly: "Tonight, people are coming, and they are separated if they don't meet." The Weaver Girl treats people for a long time, and I will treat you for a long time. ”

The emperor behind the curtain was silent for a while, and then repeated with a smile: "I will treat you for a long time." At that moment, a look of jealousy flashed in Youji's eyes, but she immediately laughed gently and said, "My sister is much smarter than my sister." ”

Those nobles naturally understood in their hearts, and immediately complimented Concubine Wen Che again.

Concubine Wen Che smiled proudly. I don't deny that she is very smart, this waka is not better than Youhime, but that kind of confession can touch the emperor's heart, especially in such an atmosphere, but, at the same time, she is very stupid, and she completely steals the limelight of Zhonggong Youhime, and a woman will be jealous.

"Right Minister, why are you so quiet this year?" Yuan Gaoming, who had been smiling and watching others compose poems, was told by the emperor, so he had to put down the wine cup, glanced at the stars in the sky, and chanted:

"Since today, Tanabata is in the coming year.

I don't know how long I have to wait, it all depends on the years.

I have been in love for a long time, and I met this night stand.

The Milky Way River is foggy, and the long cover is Mo Tianming. ”

"Good, well done." The emperor obviously liked this song very much, and recited it again in a low voice,

Yuan Gaoming still has some talent, and his songs also have some artistic conception, I couldn't help but look up, and met his eyes, a strange look floated in his eyes, and suddenly said again

"Lord, the minister has a reluctant request, the maid of the middle palace Niangniang is from Tang Tu, and she should know a lot of Chinese poems, right? I don't know if I can make a song tonight. ”

There was a buzz in my head, and I glared at Yuan Gaoming, this man, stabbed me, and sure enough, he still remembered the hatred, be careful!

"Oh? This proposal is acceptable, Sharo, I only know that you are not small, but I also want to see your Chinese poetry. The emperor also seemed to be interested.

I quickly glanced at Yuki, but she gave me an encouraging look. Maybe she doesn't like Concubine Wen Che to dominate the limelight.

"I..." I just wanted to refuse, but Yuan Gaoming immediately said again: "The land of Tang soil, outstanding people, Sha Luo won't let me think it's a miscommunication, right?" ”

Damn, I gave him a white eye, if we are not outstanding people in Tang Tu, where do you come from the songs, where do you get the words, I'm afraid it's still in the barbaric era. Just this sentence, I have to be the first.

But what poem should I read? I can't write my own Chinese poems, and I can only steal one from the ancients, who should I steal? At that time, the aristocracy admired Bai Juyi's Han poems, and the Tang Dynasty must not be good, by the way, just use the Eastern Han Dynasty.

I cleared my throat and groaned:

Morning Glory, the Han Girl of the Bright River.

Slender hands, zaza lanes.

All day long, sobbing like rain.

The river is clear and shallow, how much is it different?

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent.

There was silence below, it seemed that none of them had heard this poem, Yuan Gaoming also repeated it in Chinese, suddenly looked at me, smiled at me, and said dryly: "Good poem, Gao Ming is ashamed of himself." ”

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got through the confusion, and glanced at Qingming, who was turning his head sideways and didn't know what to say to Baoxian, and didn't look at me.

"I didn't expect Shaluo's Chinese poems to be so good, come and enjoy a glass of Salo Yuquan wine." The emperor's words made me inevitably a little disappointed, just a glass of wine, it is enough to pick the door.

"Sharo, don't thank you, Imperial Spring Wine is a very rare wine." Youji smiled sideways, and she glanced at Concubine Wen Che again, a smile that was not easy to be noticed in her eyes.

I thanked me and drank the wine, which didn't seem to taste special, just very cool.

It was almost the middle of the night, and everyone was in high spirits, and I didn't know if it was because the stamina of the wine just now came, and I was already sleepy, and Yuki saw that I was getting sleepy, so she asked me to go back first. I thanked her gratefully and quickly got up to leave.

As I passed through the corridor, I suddenly saw a shiny thing flying in front of my eyes, it turned out to be a firefly, I had never seen a real firefly, and my curiosity was aroused, and I unconsciously followed it to the lake behind the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the lake, I was dazzled by the beautiful scenery in front of me.

The sparkling lake is overgrown with lush aquatic plants, and countless glowing fireflies fly in the air, like countless stars falling from the world, exuding thrilling beauty in the dark night.

I stretched out my hand, and a small firefly stopped in my palm, and its tail shone faintly, so cute.

"Sharo." Suddenly, a clear voice came from behind him, carrying the fragrance of the frozen lake.

"Qingming, how did you know I was here?" I didn't look back because I knew who it was.

"I feel it." He whispered, walked over, also looked at the fireflies in my palm, smiled faintly, and said, "Sharo likes this?" ”

"Well, it's beautiful, it's the first time I've seen so many fireflies!" I let the firefly away.

"That's right." I looked at him, "How about my Chinese poem just now?" I know that Qingming's level of Chinese is very high, including Baoxian and Zhongxing, because the Zhou Yi Feng Shui and the Five Elements Bagua they read are all original works in Chinese.

"Poetry? What poem? A foxy smile flashed in his eyes.

"Abe Harumi, don't play stupid in front of me, huh." , I stared at him with eyes that I had seen through you for a long time. If you are not familiar with him, you can't imagine that Qingming, who is usually so cold, actually has a cunning side.

"Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent." He smiled again, chanted in a low voice, and said: "Poetry is good poetry, but I am afraid that there are other people who write poetry." ”

"------" I winked a few times and laughed dryly, "Qingming really knows me." Huh"

"How is the begging festival in Tang Tu?" He asked.

"Valentine's Day, of course, is a romantic holiday with your lover." I replied casually.

"Valentine's Day?"

"Well, we also call it Valentine's Day, which is a holiday for men and women to express their hearts and give gifts to each other. This festival is generally only celebrated with people you like. ”

He quietly looked at the lake, smiling like the wind.

"Look, Qingming, there are more fireflies here." I took a step forward, but my body shook slightly because of the residual strength of the wine.

"What kind of Yuquan wine is quite strong." I smiled.

"Sit down." He motioned for me to sit down by the rocks by the lake.

The stone was slippery and cool, and it was flat, and Qingming also sat next to me, and the cool wind was coming, and it was very pleasant.

I suddenly remembered a children's song from a long, long time ago, and I couldn't help but hum softly, "Fireflies Fireflies, a little red, like a small lantern." FirefliesFireflies, shiny and shiny, seem to fly small stars. ”

He chuckled softly.

"What's laughing at, isn't it good?"

"Sharo, have you ever had a ---- beggar festival with someone else before?" He looked at me, his black crystal eyes sparkling like fireflies.

I shook my head and naturally asked, "What about Qingming?" ”

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Does it count with Senior Brother?" ”

I burst out laughing, "Qingming, you're so cute." ”

Chatting and chatting, my head became heavy, drunkenness mixed with drowsiness gradually attacked, I leaned on Qingming's shoulder in a daze, and closed my eyes.

"Sharo?" He whispered.

"I'm so sleepy, don't move." I said casually, my consciousness blurring.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly woke up, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was leaning on Qingming's shoulder, and our hands were pulled together at some point. Suddenly the drowsiness went to most of the time, this, I didn't take the initiative to pull it after drinking, right? As soon as I moved my hand, Qingming immediately let go.

Seeing him put it so fast, could it be that I took the initiative to hold his hand?

"Awake?" He smiled faintly.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I actually fell asleep like this, your shoulders are okay? I, I didn't mean to. Just sake by all means. I quickly explained that Qingming wouldn't think I was taking advantage of him.

"It's fine." Looking at his tone and expression, it seemed that his mood was still quite good, and I was relieved.

"No, I can't hold it anymore, Qingming, I'm going back to my room to sleep, you can go back too, the banquet should be dispersed." I stood up.

"Sharo." He whispered.

"What?"

"Sharo, you." The familiar fox smile flashed in his eyes again, "What delicious things did you dream of when you slept?" ”

"What?" I looked at him puzzled, my eyes suddenly swept over his shoulder, and a dark trace came into my eyes.

My mind is blank.,That,That,It's not going to be --------- my saliva.。。

"Ahh My face was hot, and I quickly turned around and left. Behind him, Qingming's chuckle was clearly heard.

It's over, it's a big mess!

Two months before Concubine Wenche gave birth, Youji suddenly proposed to the emperor to let Concubine Wenche go to her mother's house to give birth. At that time, in the Heian Dynasty, because of the superstitious belief that a woman's birth was a kind of filth, once a woman in the palace was pregnant, she had to go out of the palace and return to her mother's house to give birth, and then enter the palace after giving birth to a child.

Concubine Wenche's parents died early, and there is no so-called maiden family, Youji's suggestion was immediately adopted by the emperor, and Concubine Wenche also gladly accepted it.

Yuki she,Let's get moving.。。

The special customs of the Heian period gave her the best chance to get off the phone.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Yuhime transferred me and the little prime minister to Concubine Wenche to borrow it, and asked me to go back to the Fujiwara Zuo Minister's Mansion with Concubine Wenche to take care of her to give birth.

It was a decision that suited me to my liking, so that I could complete the task more smoothly.

In the palace of Minister Fujiwara Zuo, it was quiet for a while, and Harumi sometimes used his sparrow-style god to send letters.

If there is something strange, it is that I found that the whereabouts of the little prime minister seemed to be a little erratic during this time, and I asked a few times, but she still refused to answer.

Finally, late one night, I followed her out of the Zuo Minister's Mansion and followed her into an abandoned mansion.

Before entering the mansion, I had already used invisibility, and I saw her quickly flash into a room, and I followed. I heard a man's voice from inside, "Coming?" ”

"Well, my lord, I really miss you." There was a hint of coquettishness in the voice of the little prime minister.

I was stunned, could it be that the little prime minister just came to have a private meeting with his lover? It's just that choosing to date in this kind of place, I'm afraid this lover is weird, right?

I looked in from the lattice window, only faintly saw the little prime minister was affectionately embracing a man in a thick crimson hunting suit, the man did not wear a black hat, only to see a long hair pouring like a waterfall, he lowered his head, kissed the little prime minister's hair, although I couldn't see his face clearly, but I already felt a strong demonic aura, this man, definitely not a human being. It's just a ghost from somewhere, and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary ghost.

"You know what to do about that, right?" His voice seemed to come from far away.

"I know, don't worry." The little prime minister said softly: "I will do what you want." She said as she lifted the man's loose clothes.

Ahh I hesitated for a moment, and was thinking about whether to make a move, when I suddenly heard the man's voice sound again, "So anxious? You women, you're all the same. He paused, then added, "However, this time you seem to have brought other guests." ”

After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the place where I was standing, and when I saw his face clearly, I couldn't help but be surprised, no wonder the little prime minister was confused by this ghost, the appearance and demeanor of this ghost was actually a little similar to Yuan Gaoming, but it was less bright and bright, and a little more ghostly, more like a blood cherry tree blooming in the dark night.

Did he transform into the form of Yuan Gaoming? No, I don't have time to think about that right now, because he's already discovered my presence.

I obviously used stealth techniques, and he can actually detect it?

As soon as I took out the charm, he had already pushed away the little prime minister, and a red light came to me from between his fingers, the position was accurate, as if he clearly saw my existence, I avoided his attack, and immediately activated the spell, and attacked him, his head was slightly off, and he avoided my counterattack, but a few broken hairs fell from his head, he suddenly laughed, and said, "Who is it?" It can hurt my hair. ”

He waved his hand, and the broken hair on the ground suddenly turned into a black long arrow and flew straight towards me, I immediately threw out a spell and knocked down the long arrow, he was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "It's really interesting, but I don't have time to play with you today, next time I will definitely see your true face." ”

With that, he immediately vanished.

The long black arrow reverted to the appearance of hair, but it was fiery red hair, was it the original form of the youkai? I picked it up, tucked it into the paper I had with me, and put it in my arms. I hurriedly looked at the little prime minister again, only to find that she had already fainted, and I withdrew the invisibility technique to wake her up.

"Sharo, why are you here? Yes? How could I be here? The little prime minister asked with a surprised expression. She didn't seem to remember anything at all.

"I don't know, I found you here when I got here." I prevaricated.

"What's going on?" She rubbed her body and stood up.

"Maybe you're too tired, hurry up and go home."

Although she was a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions.

After that, the ghost never looked for the prime minister, but I was always a little uneasy in my heart, as if something was going to happen.

As the red leaves in the capital gradually became more and more colorful, the day of Concubine Wenche's birth was getting closer and closer.

When I saw Qingming again, I couldn't help but glance at his shoulder, and remembered the trouble last time, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He smiled faintly, as if he knew what I was thinking.

"I've washed it." He just said that.

"Well, well, is he okay uncle?" I quickly changed the subject. This time, Lord Tadayuki entrusted all of them to Harumi.

He laughed and said, "Good." He paused, and then said, "Master asked me to ask you, when will you leave the palace?" ”

"Out of the palace?" I was stunned for a moment, "Aren't I coming out now?" ”

"What does Master mean, when will you resign from your position as a female roommate?" He looked at me.

"Oh. . . After the birth of Donggong. I suddenly thought that I would have to part with Qingming again when I completed the task, and my mood was inexplicably low.

A smile flashed across Qingming's face,

"Qingming, if I say goodbye one day, will you be angry?" I blurted out.

Qingming was stunned for a moment, her smile gradually disappeared, and she said in a low voice: "Say goodbye?" Where will you go? ”

"No, it's nothing, I'll just talk about it, hee-hee, where can I go." I quickly covered it up, and with a wave of my hand, I inadvertently brushed off the sticker inserted between the placket.

Just as I was about to pick it up, Qingming had already bent down and picked it up for me, and a few fiery red strands of hair fell from the stickers. Oh no, it's the ghost's hair, and sure enough, Qingming's face changed slightly, and he said, "Sharo, where did this come from?" ”

"I picked it up, and the red hair is so special." I smiled.

Qingming silently recited a few incantations, and those strands of hair instantly turned to ashes, he looked at me and said, "That's the hair of the wine swallowing boy, if you see it in the future, you can't pick it up again, you know?" ”

Drinking Boy? Is that the ghost who often transforms into a handsome man to seduce young women? I heard that he was the leader of the ghost clan, a heavy drinker, and lived on human flesh. It's also a creepy ghost.,So.,The last time I fought was the drunk-swallowing boy? Since he is the leader of the ghost clan, it must not be easy to deal with, the last time he fought, he didn't fight, and left in a hurry, I don't know what his real strength is.

"Got it!" I smiled and agreed.

The red leaves in the courtyard kept dancing, like colorful butterflies flying, falling on the bluestone slab in the courtyard from time to time, and occasionally a few pieces of mischievous fell on his pure white hunting clothes, gently sliding, he looked at me quietly, without saying a word.

"If there were so many butterflies flying, it would be beautiful." I turned my head slightly and looked at the red leaves.

He smiled softly, and suddenly walked up behind me and put his hands over my eyes.

"Hey, Qingming, what are you doing!" I want to break his hand,

"Sharo, close your eyes, just for a moment." He whispered, and I could faintly hear him say something he seemed to be chanting.

After a while, he slowly removed his hand.

"Ahh I couldn't help but exclaim, what a scene in front of me, countless red leaves have been transformed into colorful butterflies, dancing in the wind, for a moment, I only feel in a dream, everything, is so unreal, but everything is so beautiful.

"It's so beautiful." I muttered. I was just about to turn around to look at Qingming and find that he was already standing beside me, and then I felt that my hand was surrounded by warmth, and when I looked down, Qingming had gently grabbed my hand.

My heart pounded. Qingming he, do you like me?

I stabilized my mind and looked at Qingming, his face was also slightly red, I felt his palms hot, dense sweat, he, is he nervous? I couldn't help but be a little stunned in my heart, it turned out that the young man who was calm and breezy also had a nervous time?

What should I do? It's really romantic to watch the butterfly dance with Qingming, but I can't. Like a flowing cloud, what qualifications do I have to like people, after all, I have to go back, every time, I don't want to have feelings with historical figures, but why, every time, I just can't avoid it, as if it was destined fate. Could it be, as Si Yin said, a punishment?

Now, if I break free of his hand, it may hurt his sensitive heart, but if I keep pulling like this, he will definitely misunderstand.

"Wow, look, the butterflies over there are so beautiful!" I had no choice but to use that trick that was no less vulgar than "Look, the pigs are flying!" ” 。 Without a trace, he pulled his hand out.

"Qingming is very powerful, if you use this trick to pursue girls in the future, you will definitely hit every shot." I grinned, trying to use the most relaxed tone I could.

A hint of loss flashed in Qingming's eyes, and there was no expression on her face immediately. With a slight wave of his right hand, the butterfly instantly returned to red leaves and fell down.

"I just want Sharo to see." He suddenly snapped a word, turned and left.

I stood there in a daze, looking at Qingming's back, and my heart was a little stuffy. Qingming, he is still angry, but this is fine, maybe he will be angry until the day I disappear -----.

About ten days later, Youji suddenly sent someone to take me and the little prime minister back to the palace and asked about the current situation.

However, today's Youji looked a little strange, and after asking, she suddenly let everyone leave, leaving only me and the little prime minister. I had a gut feeling that she was going to say something about my mission.

"Sharo, how have I treated you since you entered the palace?" She said suddenly.

I'm a little funny in my heart, this part seems to be familiar. Then I'll follow her words-

"The mother treats Sara like a relative."

She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now I have a heart disease, which makes me unable to sleep well every night." I don't know if Sharo, can you help Niangniang get rid of this heart disease. ”

"As long as the mother speaks out, Sha Luo will go to the soup and fight the fire, and she will not give up." I slipped as if I was memorizing lines

"Anything?"

"Anything."

"Oh, what about killing?"

I was shocked, what she meant by her words was not Concubine Wenche's child? If so, I can't even hesitate at all. I said calmly.

She stared firmly into my eyes for about a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed, "Sharo, I really didn't misunderstand you, your courage is really not small." ”

"I don't know who is the one who caused the mother to sleep unsteadily?" I asked deliberately.

"Sharo, Concubine Wen Che is going to give birth soon, right?" She asked nonchalantly.

"Yes."

"The thought that it would be her son who would become the East Palace in the future made me unable to sleep. You get the idea, Sharo? Her face was calm.

"Sharo understands that the mother is thinking." I looked up at her, and her eyes flashed with a grim look I'd never seen before.

"Sha Luo, listen well, this time Donggong Ming Bo died as soon as she was born, and Concubine Wen Che was crazy because of the loss of her son, no one can get close to her, including the lord, so she can only stay in Minister Zuo's mansion for the time being."

"Sha Luo understands, it's just Concubine Wenche, if she insists on seeing the Lord."

Yuji's face was slightly distorted with jealousy, she sneered, and said, "This slut, there is no more chance, Sharo, then take that little slut's child to feed the dog, that slut will be crazy if he is not crazy." ”

Although I knew about this for a long time, hearing it with my own ears still made my heart tremble, and Yuki had already given birth to demons in her heart, demons of jealousy.

"But if the Lord finds the body of the East Palace."

"I will arrange everything, the house is full of my people, and the replacement of the dead baby will naturally be ready."

"Niangniang is thoughtful, but if the lord knows that something happened in Niangniang's mansion, will he suspect Niangniang?"

"Huh, doubt? In the eyes of everyone, I have always treated Concubine Wen as a sister. She smiled coldly.

"Yes, but..." I glanced at the little prime minister.

"Don't worry, the little prime minister is not a teenager anymore, she is just timid, so I handed over this important task to you, however, she will also assist you, Sharo, you will not live up to my trust, right?"

"Sharo doesn't dare." Fate is really tricky, I actually want to be the one who killed the East Palace, Youji really looks up to me, if it weren't for me, this task would definitely be handed over to the little prime minister.

However, I don't hate this suggestion, at least, I will be able to ensure the safety of the East Palace.
