17. Swim in the lake and fall in love
The clouds in the sky covered the hazy crescent moon, and the moonlight walked among the lush palaces, like a pool of silver water in the ice break, for fear that the sharp corners of the palace cornices would break its tranquility.
The fragrance of flowers in the Imperial Garden is overflowing, and the dense light and shadow are densely intertwined and overlapped, shrouded in a silvery halo.
Tao Zhiyuan didn't know why, she just came here after dinner, Yun Yi wouldn't have come so early.
Mo Yan flowers bloomed new flowers, swaying in the wind, showing their beauty. The memories are all here, here to get to know Yunyi again, and here to lose her big brother.
She looked at her clothes, a light green embroidered blouse, the sleeves were wider than usual, sassy in the wind, the waist was tightened, and below it was a goose-yellow dress. Comb a simple back to the heart, obliquely a jade hairpin hanging a thin silver tassel. It's an outfit she's been thinking about all afternoon, and it's as simple as possible.
The wait is long, if it was before, Tao Zhiyuan would definitely pursue the principle that a woman must be late and a man must wait, but now, she can't wait, this is the first time they have met here with their real identities, and it would be a lie to say that they are not nervous.
"You're really beautiful when you smile."
Suddenly, his voice came, and Tao Zhiyuan looked around, but there was no sign of him.
"Haha." And he laughed again, as if he had never laughed so heartily.
"Still laughing, where are you?" Tao Zhiyuan stomped her feet in anger.
"Here, the docks."
Tao Zhiyuan looked over, and sure enough, she saw him sticking his head out of the canopy and waving at her.
She walked over and saw him dressed in purple clothes, his complexion was more handsome than usual, and a shallow light was reflected in his eyebrows, which was very warm.
"You peep at me!" Tao Zhiyuan didn't care whether he was the emperor or not, stared at him with raised eyebrows, and said politely.
"Don't slander me, I came to wait for you on the boat a long time ago, who knew that you frowned and smiled there for a while, and your expression changed, but it made me laugh." Yun Yi didn't call himself Zhongyi, in front of Tao Zhiyuan, he was just an ordinary man.
Tao Zhiyuan was stunned, is she really like this? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the dead?
"But I still like you to laugh, like a blooming flower, straight to people's heartstrings." Yunyi said, holding out his hand to her.
In the pale moonlight, his smiling face was so charming.
It would be nice if you grabbed this hand and never let go.
He was waiting, without the slightest impatience, she handed his hand to him, his hand was a little warm, and she could feel the lines of the palm, even though she knew that the sweetness was only for tonight.
The boat is rippling on the surface of Taiye Lake, and the silver moonlight spreads on the lake, which has an indescribable poetic feeling.
Both of them sat there quietly, without saying a word, and the evening breeze blew the tassels on the jade hairpin of Tao Zhi's kite.
I still remember the first date with Yi, it was also like this, until the end of the date, they couldn't say ten words, now in retrospect, it was a long, long time ago, even, she was a little vague, it turned out that there are some things, when you want to forget, those memories will automatically be deleted from your mind.
She hooked the corners of her mouth and said in her heart very freely: "Yi, I finally forgot about you, goodbye!" This could be a real goodbye, because we may never see each other again. ”
Yun Yi on the side looked at her: "After seeing that you were sick, the whole person was emaciated, fortunately, I drank the soup for a while, otherwise my complexion would be even more ugly." ”
"Tonic soup?" Tao Zhiyuan turned her head to look at him, a little puzzled, during the period when she was sick, someone did send tonic soup every day, was it his idea?
Yun Yi saw her puzzled expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you know that one of the tonic soups is thousand-year-old ginseng, which I originally wanted to give to the queen mother, but when I went to see you that day, you looked very haggard, so I asked Su Yan to send you the ginseng soup." ”
Tao Zhiyuan's heart warmed, she couldn't imagine that he still had this carefulness, but since she saw him in Mingyu Palace that day, she hadn't seen him again, so she asked, "Have you come to see me?" ”
"Well, I sneaked there one night, but you were asleep, so I didn't wake you up."
In fact, her thousands of hopes were to have him by her side when she was sick, knowing that he cared so much about herself, Tao Zhiyuan had a sour nose, and tears were about to fall.
Yun Yi gently took her into his arms, for the first time.
Tao Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, her face flushed, lingering on the tip of her nose was a strange and familiar breath of him, and a little mint smell, looking down, it was the bat fragrance she made herself.
He has always worn it on his body, does it also mean that he has always had her in his heart?
"I'm sorry." Yun Yi whispered.
"Huh?"
"Because of the virtuous concubine, because of the queen mother, because of me, I have made you suffer." Yunyi hugged her tighter, and seemed to disappear as soon as she relaxed.
"I'm fine, just live."
"It's rare that you can see it so clearly, then where is your sister ......" Yunyi knew that she valued Yun Qingyuan the most, and now Yun Qingyuan was under house arrest by Concubine Xian, and life and death were only between the line, during the sacrifice, he had asked Shi Fulin to take her out of the palace, but she didn't obey, because her most reluctant sister was still in the palace. Recently, Su Yan heard that their sisters turned against each other, and he knew that the queen mother wanted to take this opportunity to win her over, but Concubine Xian was manipulating Yun Qingyuan's life and death, could she give it up? Or maybe she had another way?
Tao Zhiyuan, who Yun Yi thought of, naturally thought of it, I am afraid that the news of her going to Yongshou Palace today will spread tomorrow, and Concubine Xian will not allow betrayal.
"I'll have a way, but ......" Tao Zhiyuan stopped talking.
"Survival here must be sacrificed, some people are not worth your effort, and you shouldn't talk about feelings here, that will only push you into the abyss." Yun Yi said helplessly, he has been living here for nearly twenty years, and he has given up a lot, it will hurt at first, but he will slowly become numb, and his character will be tempered to be gentle.
Tao Zhiyuan felt a sense of relief in his arms, and she listened to Yunyi's steady heartbeat, and felt that this was the happiest thing in the world. Living here, she was also afraid of death, she was afraid that she would never hear his heartbeat again.
"If you didn't have your sister, would you be my woman?" Yun Yi pondered for a long time, and finally asked, this question had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
Tao Zhiyuan's body stiffened, and this problem also bothered her heart for a long time.
Will it?
endures his harem with three thousand beauties, but he is not allowed to be jealous. Tao Zhiyuan saw Yun Yi holding her, she suddenly had a feeling, she was not a concubine, is she Yun Yi's mistress now? Thinking of this, she burst into laughter, and her laughter was like a crisp bell.
Yun Yi waited for her answer very seriously, and when he saw that she was actually smiling, he blurred the charming night, and he became more and more fascinated, and asked, "Why are you smiling?" ”
