Chapter Forty-Nine: It's Hard to Go Back to the Past
On this day, the weather was just right. The footsteps of late spring came with the warm wind, blowing away the few remaining colds.
Murong Yan came after noon, and he brought a lot of things with him, as if he wanted to make up for the greetings he owed these days.
"Third brother?"
Murong Yan saw that he was holding a scroll and his clothes were very thin, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "The illness is not well yet, why don't you stop?" ”
Murong Jin smiled: "It's all right." ”
"What's the big deal, since you came back, the major illness has not stopped, and I haven't seen you feel better," he snatched Murong Jin's scroll, "Lao Shizi's sage book should also be put away." ”
Murong Jin wanted to take it back, "I've been missing classes for a long time, and if I don't read anymore, I won't be able to keep up." ”
"If you can't keep up, you can't keep up," Murong Yan simply threw the book into the distance and pressed Murong Jin to sit down, "What's so good about that poor scholar's class, I feel sleepy when I hear him speak." He went to rummage through it again and found an azure cloak and put it on Murong Jin's shoulders.
"Such a big person, I don't know how to add clothes when it's cold."
Murong Jin clenched his neckline, only to realize that his body was already a little cold, "It's me who is stupid and bothered the third brother." ”
"What kind of incense do you smoke in this house, why haven't you smelled it before?"
"The soothing incense that Imperial Physician Yan has prepared himself helps to calm the mind."
Murong Yan muttered, "This imperial doctor doesn't understand the way of incense", and his words changed suddenly, "Is it the hands and feet of Concubine Xian this time?" ”
Murong Jin said with a straight face: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Okay, okay, if you say it's nonsense, it's nonsense, as long as Ah Jin is fine."
"Third brother doesn't have classes in the afternoon?" Murong Jin asked.
"When will I be here before you drive me away?" Murong Jin looked at Murong Jin puzzled, "Ah Jin, when did you and I become so alienated." ”
Murong Jin's inky jade-like eyes were deep and cold, making Murong Yan feel a little strange.
"My place is not very good at feng shui, so the third brother should try to come as little as possible in the future. lest I get dyed with evil spirits, and I will be unhappy when I go back to Concubine Lan. ”
"Ah Jin, you ......" Murong Yan looked at him in disbelief, not knowing what to say for a while.
The tone of the words was flat, without the slightest complaint and displeasure, but an invisible and impenetrable wall fell between the two.
Yes, something has changed. They are no longer children who can mess around and play together.
Identity, change, estrangement.
Both of them know that they are different and can't go back.
Intentional distancing, careful avoidance, and all kinds of excuses for different ways after class, you don't have to bother thinking about it in the future. Because after that, there is probably only a blind eye.
Murong Yan's gaze froze, and his fingers were twisted together, a little red.
"Ah Jin, I'm sorry."
"Third brother, I'm sorry."
The two blurted out almost at the same time.
Actually, it's nothing. Murong Yan thought like this, and the corners of his mouth tried to pull out a little arc, "Then, Ah Jin, you have to rest, and the third brother won't bother you." I was playing chess with the teacher for a while, so I left first. ”
Walking to the door, he stopped for a moment, took out a delicate small wooden box from his sleeve and put it on the desk in front of Murong Jin.
"I almost forgot, and I may not be able to find an excuse in the future." And he hurried out.
After walking out of the Floating Moon Palace for a long time, Murong Yan finally couldn't help but squat down, his eyes turned red uncontrollably.
In fact, he asked his husband for leave this afternoon, and there was no class at all.
In fact, he discussed with Concubine Lan for a long time before he could come up with such an answer.
In fact, he was very happy when he went out today, in fact, he didn't want to do this at all......
For the first time, he hated his origin and bloodline like this, and he had to alienate each other even though they were brothers who were on a blind date. Usually those brothers and sisters who flatter or scold each other, but now they have become so far away.
The mother concubine is for his good, and Ah Jin is also for his good.
However, it obviously makes people so sad.
Murong Jin opened the small pear wood box, and there was a kitten carved from white jade inside, which was lifelike. Murong Jin suddenly felt suffocated in his heart, and the past years clearly appeared in front of him-
On the palace road, two brocade-clothed children walked side by side.
The taller child asked, "Why is Ah Jin unhappy today?" ”
Another child said, "I want to raise a white cat, but the queen mother doesn't allow it, and my father doesn't like it." ”
Murong Yan took his hand, his eyebrows and eyes crooked, "Then I'll raise one, and you will often come to my palace to play in the future, okay?" ”
The young Murong Jin smiled and nodded vigorously, "Hmm." ”
But probably because Emperor Yan didn't like it, Concubine Lan didn't allow it, and Murong Yan couldn't raise a white cat in the end.
The two sat under the plum blossom tree, and Murong Yan handed a newly folded white plum to Murong Jin, who was pulling his head, "When I have the opportunity to find a good piece of white jade in the future, I will find the best jade carver in the whole emperor to carve a white cat for you, okay?" I heard that this jade is extremely spiritual, and it is often worn by his side and is popular, so maybe one day he will 'hula' and live. Let me tell you, Xiao Xingzi told me a story a few days ago, a white jade fox that a son in Dongcheng had been wearing for three years suddenly came to life, and turned into a very beautiful girl......"
Murong Jin pinched the plum branch and burst into laughter.
……
The high walls of the palace were filled with dead silence, and blood was invisibly covered with clouds overhead. Under the blowing of the cold wind and snow, those who were once half-liquid in the wind and traversed - power, money, status, killing, conspiracy, deception, betrayal. These things were frozen into hard, sharp blades of ice, piercing everyone's armor and cutting through everyone's skin, dripping with blood and leaving their bodies skinless. Approximately, only a child like Murong Yan and Murong Jin can chat freely in the snow with a clean and transparent heart. However, the cleaner and purer it is, the easier it is to be pierced and broken.
Outside the window, no one knew what would happen next.
Murong Jin forgot about the white cat not long after, and later it was just a joke among children, but he didn't expect him to really find it.
The white jade kitten was attached to the palm of his hand, a little cold, but he felt extremely ironed in his heart.
At night, Murong Jin estimated the hour and opened the door lightly.
I haven't counted the days for a long time, but it's almost fifteen. The moon in the sky is so round that it is almost the moon. There was not a single cloud around, and the jade-like moon disk hung lonely on it, sprinkling a bright and cold light.
There was a slight breeze, but it wasn't cold, and it was just right with just a cloak.
After a while, the door of the side room in the inner courtyard suddenly opened, and the green-clothed chamberlain looked at the people in the courtyard and stopped.
"Why did Your Highness come to the courtyard?"
Murong Jin smiled: "Didn't you also run to the courtyard?" The moon is so bright tonight, let's take a look. ”
Dong Xian stood beside Murong Jin with his sleeves clutched, and neither of them spoke, but was silent together.
After a long time, Murong Jin said, "After waiting for so long, aren't you in a hurry?" ”
Dongxian was puzzled: "What did Your Highness say?" ”
"If the debriefing does not go on time, Your Majesty will be to blame......
