Chapter 440: The sound of snow falling
"Yishangyun, my princess treated you so well, aren't you afraid that you will be punished for doing so? Even now, are you still refusing to admit who you really are? If I had known that there would be today, I would have frozen you to death on the night of your punishment, lest you be swaggering everywhere today, embarrassing, ungrateful, liking the new and hating the old, and robbing the husband and the king......"
At this time, the mouth of Jinlan, who was sharp and sharp, was caught off guard, and there was a rather harsh and sharp burst of abuse and humiliation, because of his special identity that he was not known at the moment, and he had such a deep relationship with him in the past, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
She knows that no matter how much she wants revenge in her heart, she is the so-called "wronged debtor". In any case, she couldn't put her thoughts on the innocent Xuanyuan Yue, but the two of them would never go back to the past as if nothing had happened.
Obviously, everything has changed these days.
But when she finally listened to it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she felt that the master and servant in front of her seemed to have misunderstood herself, and thought that she was deliberately trying to rob her husband, so she couldn't help but want to explain something to her: "Niangniang shouldn't think it's ......?"
At this moment, Qiao Lan and Qiao Hui had already made a detour from the garden next door and approached closely.
From a distance, Wen Qiaolan opened her mouth to defend her: "Sister Jinlan spoke so unceremoniously to His Royal Highness's distinguished guests, I'm afraid there are a lot of inappropriateness!" ”
When everyone heard the sound, they all looked in the direction from which the sound came from.
Qiao Lan and Qiao Hui quickly stepped forward to Yi Shangyun's side, looked at her deeply, and then bowed to Xuanyuan Yue and said, "Slave and maid see Niangniang!" ”
At this time, Qiao Lan smiled and opened her mouth to explain for her: "Niangniang, this son is not a person in the palace, and he doesn't know the etiquette in the palace. The so-called 'don't know is not to blame', in the middle of the night, the son is just a whim to enjoy the snow, if you disturb the mother, I hope that the mother will see it for the sake of His Royal Highness, forgive me! ”
Seeing that the person who came was always the person next to Mei Zhixuan, and he didn't want people to be suspicious of the matter between the masters, Xuanyuan Yue was about to say something to him, but Jinlan hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt him.
"Qiaolan, if it weren't for the fact that you are a person next to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I guess I wouldn't even be able to enter the door of this courtyard tonight, let alone intercede for this bold fanatic who spied on Niangniang's yard......"
Qiao Lan didn't like it as soon as she heard this, and she didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she hurriedly stopped it, and said in surprise: "'Bold maniac', Sister Jinlan's words are wrong, didn't she forget so quickly that our mother was still in the backyard just now and wanted to give this son a generous gift to express her gratitude?" Why is it that at night, there is such a small misunderstanding, and I haven't seen what the mother says, but my sister is cynical and sneering in every word, and she is carrying a gun and a stick, I don't know what the idea is in the end? There are a lot of people in this palace, and those who don't know think that they are negligent in disciplining the people and taking the lead! ”
Hearing this, Jin Lan suddenly became angry, and blurted out angrily: "Qiaolan, Qiaohui." Our mother treats you sisters well on weekdays, so don't let the two of you be in the same league with this slut. You know, he's not a man's ...... at all."
At this time, Xuanyuan Yue seemed to have finally woken up from his heavy thoughts, and hurriedly interrupted him sharply: "Jinlan, don't stop yet!" ”
Jin Lan was really worthless for Xuanyuan Yue in her heart, and still said angrily: "Niangniang, they are all so presumptuous......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he raised his head and looked at Xuanyuan Yue with extremely serious eyes, and finally only let out a long sigh: "Alas", and then silently closed it helplessly.
Ran Xuanyuan Yue raised his head in a flash, looking up at the night sky, which seemed to be getting more and more violent at this time, and gradually closed his eyes after a long time.
It was as if she was listening to a voice that only she could hear, the sound of snow falling.
She suddenly felt as if she had become one with the pure and clean snow, and suddenly, she understood.
I saw that she finally slowly stretched out her brows that she had been frowning for for an unknown period of time, and actually smiled faintly.
After a while, she opened her eyes and looked fixedly into the eyes of the clouds on the clothes, and said to her gently: "It turns out that the sound of snow falling, whether in the homeland or in another country, is the same beauty!" Whether you are 'clothed in the clouds' or 'Grace'. This palace hopes that you, like this palace, will like the sound of snow falling in Dongning country. The palace is waiting, and the rest of my life can be with you to watch the flowers bloom and fall year after year in this palace, and the clouds are rolling. ”
As soon as she had finished speaking, she looked at her deeply for a moment, then turned and walked straight back in the direction of the house. 8090 Chinese
Jin Lan glared angrily at the rest of the group, and hurried away after him.
At this point, for a while, the whole courtyard suddenly became unusually quiet, except for the sound of continuous snow falling in my ears, like a song and a cry.
Yishangyun stood in the snow in a daze, staring at Xuanyuan Yue's departing back for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
At the right time, she also turned around slowly and said silently in her heart: "Princess, you and I actually know in our hearts that in this life, this is no longer possible, everything has changed." ”
At this point, in the white and silent night, everything on the earth has been gradually covered by the vast snow, and between the two young women who are in the prime of their youth or arranged by fate, there was such a rare friendship that they had nothing to talk about, and a sincere friendship gradually began to blur between their own slowly turning and leaving, and the two gradually drifted apart......
Until the first rays of dawn came, the snow that had been sprinkled all night seemed to have no sense of stopping.
As soon as the morning dawns, there is a snow-capped world everywhere inside and outside the palace, and the snowflakes are like beautiful jade butterflies between heaven and earth, like dancing and drunk; It is like a dandelion blown down, and it is like flying, covering mountains and rivers; It is like an angel's gift, nourishing the growth of all things on the earth.
And just when all the people of Dongning took the same family to the streets and alleys, "creaking" under their feet, stepping on happiness, joyfully, dancing with their hands, and the whole country celebrating this once-in-a-century auspicious omen, a bad peace was quietly brewing in the palace.
The early dynasty has just descended, in the huge palace that follows the future.
At this moment, a thin man in his forties wearing an official uniform and a handful of goat's whiskers was kneeling.
The man probably didn't know why he was suddenly summoned here, so he lay on the cold floor and buried his head very low.
After that, he wore a phoenix robe, sat on it with high and high-end, his head was full of pearls, and he was graceful and luxurious.
I saw her glance at the kneeling man in the hall with contempt, and then she picked up a hot tea soup and took a few sips lightly, before she seemed to ask the kneeling person with kind eyes.
"Lord Taishi, this palace specially invited you here today, I want to ask my lord, I don't know what your lord's responsibilities are in the court?"
Hearing this, the kneeling man bowed his head and replied leisurely: "Queen Qiyu, there is a cloud in the Book of Songs, the Wind and July, and the fire flows in July, and clothes are given in September." One day is hairy, and the second day is fierce. No clothes and no brown, how can he die? The third day is in the shackles, and the fourth day is the toe. With my wife and son, I am happy in the south of the country, and the fields are happy. It is about weather changes, so it is the duty of the Taishi to be responsible for the celestial calendar, astronomical movements, wind and clouds, and the divination of the legal calendar. ”
After hearing this, after a little thought, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh? This study of the celestial calendar, astronomical movements, wind and clouds, and legal calendars are all good things that are beneficial to the people, and this palace can still be understood. However, isn't this 'divination' a kind of witchcraft, and the palace doesn't know when the Taishi Lings of this dynasty have also studied witchcraft? ”
Hearing this, Na Taishi was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head and explained to him: "The minister is frightened, the queen mother doesn't know, the scripture of "Zhou Yi" is actually set up for divination, and no one can deny the fact that "Zhou Yi" is a classic of divination. In a way, divination is a series of systems that can explain the various problems that people can encounter, which is quite philosophical in itself. Specifically, divination is not purely nonsense, as many people misunderstand, but has a very strict system, in which quite a few criteria are very objective. In ancient times, divination was controlled by divination officials, and it was mostly used to predict military affairs......"
Before he finished his words with relish, he suddenly slapped the desk next to his hand, and raised his voice and said angrily: "Enough! When death is on the verge of death, he is still so righteous and arrogant, and he speaks wildly! ”
Na Taishi hurriedly lowered his eyes, didn't know why, and said with some trepidation: "Weichen is panicked, the queen mother, please calm your anger!" ”
Then he said angrily: "As a Taishi, you don't share the emperor's worries, and you don't benefit the people, but your mouth is full of nonsense, and you dare to use witchcraft to threaten to say to the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers What is this quietly falling snow is an auspicious breath coming to your face, indicating that there will be nobles coming to my Dongning Kingdom?" Such a belief confuses the public, according to the palace, you are impatient to live! ”
When Na Taishi heard this, his heart suddenly dawned on him, and he defended himself with deep trepidation: "Back to the queen's mother, snow has always been called an auspicious breath. I think that in the past hundred years of Dongning country, it has been like spring all year round, and there has never been snow. However, Jingchen and others have been watching the sky day and night for many years, and finally looked forward to this Ruiqi, this celestial appearance must be caused by the arrival of nobles! ”
Seeing that he still seemed to be unrepentant, he then held back his anger and said, "Oh? In that case, where is the noble person that Lord Taishi said now? ”
Taishi hesitated and said: "This, Weichen has not yet been decided..."
