Chapter 63: Yi Cui Listens to the Rain Pavilion
Two days later, the snowflakes that were flying wantonly between the heavens and the earth finally stopped, and the gloom over the capital was torn into powder by the brilliant sunlight and disappeared without a trace. Under the winter sun, the temperature is much warmer than before, although it is still covered with thick snow.
Du Xiaomeng, who was wearing a scarlet cloak, pushed open the door and walked outside, standing in the corridor in front of the door, clasping his hands in his warm sleeves and looking up at the sky.
The sunlight outside reflected on the white snow was very dazzling, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy. Leaning against the pillar and closing her eyes, it took her a while to recover.
Opening her eyes again, she lowered her eyes and looked at the layer of snow covering the corridor fence, distraught.
According to the previous thoughts, Du Xiaomeng planned to go to the General's Mansion as soon as the weather improved to get back the jade pendant that Yu Tianzheng had given her, and then told Yu Tianzheng that she was willing to accept the jade pendant and promised him to be the hostess of the Rui Palace. But when the weather really improved, after two days of cooling and precipitation, she began to waver a little again, and she couldn't help but question herself if her previous thoughts were too hasty and impulsive.
In the past, once Du Xiaomeng decided what to do, he would act without hesitation, and he would never make up his mind without hesitation. But now she not only hesitated, but also questioned the decision she had made.
This act of self-questioning made Du Xiaomeng very irritable. She stood still in the hallway, and after some ideological struggle, she decided that the decision she had made before was correct in principle and in the right direction. Yu Tianzheng is actually very good, gentle, considerate, empathetic and interesting, put aside the problem that he has a bunch of women, he is definitely an ideal husband candidate. Also, entrusting yourself to someone who has the right and status and loves her more than she loves the other person is more secure in the future, isn't it?
That's right, that's it! Her current body has not fully recovered, anyway, Yu Tianzheng is willing to wait and promised not to force her, and it is not too late to get the jade pendant when she is well recovered.
The problem of entangled herself was finally solved, and Du Xiaomeng found a reason for herself not to get back the jade pendant from the General's Mansion for the time being, her irritable heart was a little lighter, but the little depression that lingered in her heart was like snow on the ground, even if she was exposed to the bright sun, it still couldn't melt away.
She glanced up at the clear clear sky, and thought of what Lin Xinru had said about Yicui Listening to the Rain Pavilion.
When you are depressed, you have to find something that interests you to do, otherwise you will get sick. After being brought to the Rui Wang's Mansion by Yu Tianzheng from the palace, let alone walking out of the gate of Ming Jingxuan, she barely even stepped out of the door. After so many days of recuperation and cold in the house, now that the weather is clear, it is time to go out and walk around and stretch your muscles.
Du Xiaomeng straightened the cloak on her body, turned her head to the beautiful scenery not far behind her, and said, "Beautiful girl, I want to go out for a walk, is it okay?" ”
Meijing owed her a debt and said, "Yes." The slave and maid went out with Miss Du. ”
Out of the gate of Mingjingxuan, Du Xiaomeng stopped, looked left and right, and then walked to the right as if he was very casual. There was nothing unusual on Meijing's face, she just dutifully accompanied Du Xiaomeng and walked forward.
After walking for about 100 meters, there was no way out, and a courtyard was located at the end of the road. The outer wall of the courtyard was very different from what Du Xiaomeng had seen in other parts of Rui Wang's Mansion, where the walls were basically built with a layer of white ash, while the walls of this courtyard were built with cyan stone slabs.
The arched black gate of the courtyard was closed and locked; Directly above the gate, there is a piece of marble embedded in the stone wall, and the stone is engraved with several emerald green words "leaning on the cui and listening to the rain", and the font is elegant and very beautiful. There are two symmetrical windows on the wall of the courtyard, and the fan-shaped windows are made of bamboo-shaped verdant glazed tiles as window posts, which contrast with the words "leaning on the green and listening to the rain".
Through the gap between the window posts, you can vaguely see that there are many trees planted in the yard. Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but want to take a few steps forward to see carefully, and quickly took two steps forward with the beautiful scenery beside her, intentionally or unintentionally blocking in front of Du Xiaomeng, and said: "Miss Du, there is no road ahead and you can't continue to walk forward, the slave will accompany you to go for a walk elsewhere." ”
Du Xiaomeng looked at the courtyard casually and asked, "Beautiful girl, the courtyard in front looks very special, what kind of place is it?" ”
"In front is the place where the princess lived before her death." Meijing didn't have the slightest intention to hide, and quickly answered Du Xiaomeng's question.
"It turns out that this is the former residence of the princess." Du Xiaomeng looked at the courtyard in front of her with a respectful look on her face, and after looking at it for a while, she turned around and asked, "Miss Meijing, can I take a closer look at the courtyard?" ”
Meijing rejected her request in one bite: "No." ”
She paused and raised her eyes to look at Du Xiaomeng, and said, "Your Highness has ordered that no one should approach the princess's former residence without permission, please Miss Du not to embarrass the slave." ”
When Mei Mei said this, the attitude on her face was as respectful as usual, but her tone was unmistakably tough.
Du Xiaomeng knew that it was impossible for him to get half a step closer to Yicui Tingyu Pavilion. She glanced at the courtyard with some disappointment, lowered her head, and said, "In that case, let Miss Lao Meijing lead the way and lead me to another walk." ”
Under the guidance of the beautiful scenery, Du Xiaomeng continued to walk. I don't know if the beautiful scenery deliberately chose a secluded place to walk or what, this way I basically can't see any idle people waiting on the road, and the surroundings are so quiet that I can only hear the sound of two people stepping on the road before and after. Although the Rui Wangfu in the past was not noisy, the few times I visited the Rui Wangfu in the past, I could always see a lot of people walking back and forth, and Yu Tianzheng's beautiful wives and concubines Ana's colorful figures could also be seen everywhere, and from time to time I could smell their crisp laughter like silver bells far or near to the ears.
Seeing such a quiet scene now, if it weren't for the fact that he had seen Lin Xinru before, and Yu Xiaorui turning in front of him every day, Du Xiaomeng would have been a little suspicious that the place he was in was not the Rui Wangfu.
After walking for a while, Du Xiaomeng, who felt very boring, excused herself and said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest.
When I returned to Mingjingxuan, I saw Yu Tianzheng standing in the corridor in front of the door with a smile. Yu Tianzheng has been going out early and returning late recently, and he rarely sees him in the palace during the day, and suddenly saw him appear in Mingjingxuan, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but feel a little unable to react.
Yu Tianzheng saw Du Xiaomeng coming back, so he walked down the corridor quickly, and soon came to Du Xiaomeng. He naturally reached out to hold Du Xiaomeng's waist, hugged her who was still in a daze into his arms and walked in, chuckling as he walked, "Where have you been?" ”
Du Xiaomeng came back to her senses, raised her head and smiled back and forth, and said, "Seeing that it's very warm today, let the beautiful girl accompany me for a walk." By the way, why did you come back so early today? ”
Yu Tianzheng stopped and grabbed Du Xiaomeng's hand and kissed it, and asked rhetorically: "You don't want to see me?" ”
Du Xiaomeng shook off his hand and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's not okay to care about you?" ”
Yu Tianzheng's eyes overflowed with a gentle smile, and he hugged Du Xiaomeng again while grabbing her hand to his face, staring into her eyes and saying, "I think you thought that you couldn't concentrate on your business, so you had to come back to see you first." ”
These words made Du Xiaomeng's face hot. She pretended to be angry and glared at Yu Tianzheng and said, "Sweet tongue is smooth, it's strange to believe you!" ”
Yu Tianzheng hugged her tightly, and said in her ear by inch by inch against her face: "I have always been sincere to you, and you still don't believe me?" ”
The warm breath was blowing on Du Xiaomeng's neck, and the crispy and itchy feeling made her feel uncomfortable. She caught a glimpse of the beautiful scenery standing not far away, seemed to be embarrassed to turn her face away, lowered her head and pushed Yu Tianzheng, and whispered: "Be serious, there are still others ......"
Seeing Du Xiaomeng's embarrassed and shy appearance, Yu Tianzheng let go of her with a smile, took her hand instead, and led her to the house with ten fingers clasped.
