Chapter X

He Mao Zhongxing was very fond of Qingming, and after the false alarm of this night walk of the hundred ghosts, he was even more impressed with Qingming, and began to teach the way of yin and yang to Qingming without reservation. At that time, when everyone didn't find out, if it wasn't for Qingming, the consequences were really unimaginable.

I, on the other hand, continued to train in hellish court etiquette. Akihime and Noriko took turns to fight, and finally my etiquette was barely passable, and as for waka, I could memorize some of them indiscriminately.

The day of entering the palace is getting closer and closer, and everything seems to be going well, and Lord Tadayuki has responded to my request and specially asked someone to arrange for me to be a women's room next to Yuhime. In this way, it will be much easier for me to complete the task.

That night, the weather was hot and humid, I put on a single coat and sneaked out of the room, wanting to go to the courtyard to breathe, just came to the courtyard, and saw the familiar figure by the lotus pond.

Under the clear moonlight, Abe Haruaki, who was dressed in white, was staring at a slightly yellowed piece of paper in his hand, his face calm, as if he had fallen into some memory.

I walked over lightly, and as soon as I got behind him, he immediately put away the paper vigilantly, but I still vaguely saw a line of words, Tong Zi Maru Wu'er, mother has a thing, I have to say.

Boy Pill? Who is it?

"Qingming, are you reading a love letter?" I sat down next to him and teased with a smile.

"It's not." He whispered.

"Just kidding, don't be angry, but I think the paper looks pretty old." I continued.

He stared at the surface of the lake and suddenly said slowly, "That's nature, because that's the letter my mother left me when I was five years old." ”

"The letter your mother left you? But your mother is not a white fox. I quickly took my mouth shut.

He turned his head to look at me and didn't speak.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about what kind of woman Qingming's mother is, and she can have so much courage to love your father." I quickly explained.

Qingming turned his head sideways again, and said in a low voice: "If the concubine is away from the king, the lingering thoughts will meet at the spring, the scenery is bleak and the people are alone, and the tears of the letter are condensed and sad." These were the words of farewell that my mother left for my father when she left, and I remember my father crying after watching it. ”

Qingming's eyes were clear when he said this, and there was no sadness, but there was a faint sense of loss in the depths of his eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that I was so frightened that I cried because I saw my mother as she was, my mother wouldn't have left." He whispered, looking up into the distance.

"Everything is predestined, and it can't be said that it is Qingming's fault, if it is destined to leave, even if there is no Qingming's matter, maybe there will be something else for your mother to leave. But no matter what, your father and mother are truly in love with each other, and they have spent a happy time, even if everything starts again, I don't think your parents will regret it, and Qingming, is the testimony of their love, just thinking about this, you will feel very happy, right? ”

Qingming slowly turned his head, and there was a rare gentleness in his eyes, "Sharo, do you really think so?" Even though I'm the son of a white fox, do you think I'm happy? ”

"Of course, don't you know that hybrids are very popular, and they are very smart, especially your hybrids." I laughed.

"Half-breeds?" He was stunned.

"Oh, it's our Datang term, it refers to the children born to couples from different countries and races, for example, if you are a Yamato person, I am a Datang person, then... I stopped suddenly, and felt that the example I was giving was terrible, not comparable. Why compare yourself to yourself.

Sure enough, a smile drifted through Qingming's eyes.

"Well, that's not what I meant, you know what I mean anyway, right?" I quickly explained.

"Understood." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, evoking a faint smile.

Days, this is the first time I've seen a sunny smile, just like the sunset at dusk in summer, innocence and enchantment coexist, like turning and cold, when you don't have time to taste, the smile will disappear with the short clouds, like quicksand between the fingers, never captured, the glow comes to the face, and the smile slowly precipitates.

"What's wrong?" He seemed a little surprised.

The first time I saw Qingming smiling, I couldn't react a little. I smiled.

He looked at me and suddenly said, "There doesn't seem to be a scar on my face." ”

"Hmm." I touched my face, "Thanks to the heroes of Qingming that day, I saved the beauty." ”

"Save the beauty?" He smiled faintly, "Sharo, you're really... ”

"I'm so cute, right, Qingming, I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like that." I said.

He finally couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Qingming looks good when she smiles, so I have to smile more in the future." I laughed.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back to my room." Before I could finish, he smiled, stood up, and prepared to walk out.

"Qingming, that name is cute." I winked at him and smiled.

"What?"

"Tong Maruko... It's so cute. I suddenly remembered the name of Harumi I had just seen, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€

"Good night, Maruko Tong."

"Sharo, don't call it that...

"Okay, Tong Maruko."

"Sharo. Did you hear it or not? Harumi's calm face began to twitch slightly.

"That's 。。。。。" Hey, why can't I make a sound, I touched my throat and glared at Qingming, it must be that he used some kind of yin and yang technique. Sure enough, a hint of a fox-like smile suddenly flashed in Qingming's crystal-clear eyes.

"Sharo, when you go back to the room, you can naturally speak, remember, you can't call that name in the future." With that, he turned and walked away.

I looked at his back unwillingly, Abe Qingming, he would even use this trick, so cunning, it was really the son of the white fox, and half of the fox's blood flowed in his body.

The day of entering the palace finally came, and He Mao Zhongxing told me for a long time, quite uneasy.

Before getting into the ox cart, Bao Xian leaned over and whispered to me, "If anyone in the palace dares to bully you, tell my brother." My heart is hot, it's really nice to have an older brother like Baoxian, and if Sharo is still alive, he must be very happy. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little gloomy.

After getting into the ox cart, through the curtain, I saw Qingming not far away, and he was staring in this direction, but I couldn't see the expression on his face.

The car moved slowly, and I suddenly felt a little melancholy in my heart, and I lived with Lord Kamo, Baoxian, and Qingming for a while, and I felt a little reluctant, but they will often enter the palace, and they can still see it usually.

What awaits me in the palace? Somehow, the royal palace on the banks of the Nile River suddenly appeared in my mind, and the person who was as bright as the sun, and for a while, Xiao Zheng, the general secretary, Sanatus, one by one clearly flashed through my mind, my heart ached slightly, I hurriedly adjusted my mood, and I didn't continue to think about it, now what I have to do is to stop Youji from killing Concubine Wenche's child, complete the task and go back, collect tears as soon as possible, and go to the flower that can save the bird------ Manzhu Shahua as soon as possible.

In my imagination, the ox cart had passed through the Kenrei Gate and entered the Heian Palace, the Emperor's harem. After a few days of making up for it, I have a little bit of an understanding of this place. There are "seven halls and five houses" in the palace city, which are Chengxiang Palace, Denghua Palace, Zhenguan Palace, Changning Palace, Lijing Palace, Xuanyao Hall and Zhaoyang House (Pear Tower), Shujing House (Tong Tower), Feixiang House (Vine Tower), Ninghua House (Mei Tower), and Xiangfang House, a total of 12 halls. The emperor's concubines and their chamberlains lived in these palaces.

Because the Honghui Hall and the Flying Incense House are closer to the Seiryōden where the Emperor lives, the difference between them is Emperor Murakami's favorite Yuhime and Concubine Bunche.

The moment I saw Yuki, I was a little surprised, because I couldn't connect her gentle appearance with that terrible woman, black hair like clouds, complexion like snow, beautiful eyebrows, thin and cute onion Tang clothes and crystal flowers made her look refreshing and pleasant.

"Are you the Qianjinsha Luo in Kamo-sama's mansion? Sure enough, it's a woman as fresh and lovely as a spring willow. She smiled slightly.

I hurriedly saluted her as Qiu Ji taught, and said, "Niang Niang praised it." ”

"Don't worry, just stay by my side, Lord Kamo and our Fujiwara family have always been friendly," she looked at me gently, "But your father, Lord Nayan, alas, is a poor girl, who has suffered so much from such a distant Tang land. Everything is difficult to have, and impermanence is like a tail flower. Don't be too sad about it. ”

"Thank you Niangniang, the empty cicada is so worldly, disillusioned like the morning glow. Sharo understands this. I quickly picked up the second half of the sentence, and Noriko's hellish learning finally came to fruition at this point.

Youji nodded appreciatively and said, "You are new to this today, so let the little prime minister take you to familiarize yourself with this place first." ”

I replied, relieved that since I could stay by Yuki's side, it shouldn't be difficult to stop her.

But I'm still a little curious about that Concubine Wenche, I wonder if it's the same as what I saw in modern times.

The place where the women's room lives is elegant and simple, and it is also a room for one person, next door to me is the little prime minister, the little prime minister is the daughter of Lieutenant General Tangerine, just past the age of the dress, we quickly got acquainted and chatted in the room.

"By the way, I heard that Concubine Wenche lives in Feixiang House, right? I don't know what kind of person it is. I asked, feigning nonchalantness.

The little prime minister nodded, looked around again, and said: "The relationship between Concubine Wen Che and Niangniang seems to be good, I heard that they have been friends since childhood, but after Concubine Wen Che was pregnant with the dragon fetus on the lord, she was much more arrogant than before, and she didn't put Niangniang in her eyes at all, that is, Niangniang has a good temper and is still used to her, no matter how you say it, Niangniang is also a middle palace." ”

"Friends since childhood?"

"Well, Concubine Wenche's father, Da Nayan, and Niangniang's father, Minister Fujiwara Zuo, are very good friends, but Da Nayan passed away the year before last.

"Oh, that's right." I smiled, it turned out that Concubine Wen Che and Youji were good friends from childhood to adulthood, and a woman's jealousy was really terrible, and no one could have imagined that Youji would do such a cruel thing in the future.

After chatting for a while, she got up and was about to leave, I sent her out of my room, and was about to go in, when suddenly I felt a heat on the top of my head, I reached out and touched it, and took it down to see, almost out of breath, it turned out to be a ball of bird droppings that had just been baked, and then, a sparrow stopped firmly on my shoulder.

Okay, Bacheng is the perpetrator, I was about to teach it a lesson, when I suddenly found a small note tied to its paws, and I hurriedly pulled it down, spread it out and looked at it, and there was a line of beautiful handwriting written on it: Everything is okay? Clear.

No, I rubbed my eyes, it was actually Qingming's letter, then this sparrow must be Qingming's Shijin, I still can't believe that Qingming would be a little worried about me, although it was just a short sentence, but it made me feel a little moved. Even if it's as cold as clear, there is a gentle side in the heart.

I hurriedly took the sparrow back to the room, studied the ink, and was about to write a receipt on the back of the note, just about to put down the pen, suddenly remembered that this damn sparrow pulled a poop on my head, how difficult it is to wash my hair here, I couldn't help but feel a little indignant in my heart, thought about it, and wrote with a pen: "Tong Maruko, I'm very good." Sharo. ”

I can't help but laugh when I think of Harumi's expression when she received this receipt.
