Chapter 1: Jiang Louyue
i^%&*";
Meng Hongyu ignored Bai Rushuang's call. The path came out of Sitong Hospital.
Out of the same hospital. I saw that the heavens and the earth were white. The white snow reflects the night scene. Meng Hongyu couldn't help but think of his childhood. He was at that time. The heart is not yet filled with too much ambition and yuang, pure as this first snow.
Then. The four of them read together in the South Study. Let's play in the Imperial Garden. Shoot together in a martial arts arena...... The first snow night of the year. They would all gather in his palace to play the flute. Every time." He "will blow this song "Jiang Louyue"...... Then. Although their brotherhood is too mixed with interests to be fully sincere. But everyone at least has a bit of sincerity......
The emperor arrived at Cining Palace. Meng Hongyu came back to his senses at this time. Holding Li Zhao's hand, he carefully got off the sedan chair.
In the study of Cining Palace. The lights are bright. The charcoal fire in the house burned red. Push open the door. A warm current came to my face. Step into the house. I saw the Queen Mother standing at the desk and copying the scriptures.
I saw Meng Hongyu coming. The Queen Mother hurriedly stopped the pen in her hand. Said with a smile: "It's cold. Why is the emperor here at this time?" It's been a long time since her son has come to see her at night in such a caring way. Therefore. Meet Meng Hongyu. The Queen Mother was very happy in her heart.
Pacing to the table. Seriously appreciate the words of the Queen Mother. Meng Hongyu couldn't help nodding and said, "As the saying goes, people are like words. Comfortable people. Sure enough, I was right. The word queen is dignified and elegant. There's still a sense of luxury."
The words made the Queen Mother's heart bloom. He smiled and said, "When did the emperor's mouth become so sweet. Why didn't the queen mother know that my emperor still had such a good eloquence?"
The mother and son laughed and sat down on the kang. Aunt Shuwen brought a pot of hot tea.
"Come so late. But what's the matter?" The Queen Mother asked. Look at his expression. It shouldn't be an urgent national event. However. If it's not something on the mind. He wouldn't have come so late at night. What's more, it's still such a cold and snowy night.
"It's nothing. I just thought about it all of a sudden." Meng Hongyu took a sip of hot tea. Stopped for a while. Then he continued to ask. Just now. The queen mother can hear the flute too."
It turned out to be for this matter. The Queen Mother knew it in her heart. I know why he came. Thereupon. She nodded and said, "I heard you."
"The queen knows what this song is." Meng Hongyu continued to ask.
"Cracked rocks pierce the clouds. The jade pipe should be clear and cleaner. Frost Desert. The partridge wants to deviate in the wind. Phoenix Terrace on the twilight clouds. Plum blossoms startled with snow at dusk. People are quiet. A blow fell on the river." (1) The Queen Mother finished reading this small order leisurely. Then he said indifferently: "How can you not remember. This is your fourth brother's own composition of "Jiang Lou Yue".
"yes. At that time, the fourth brother liked this Yuan song Xiaoling very much. Therefore, according to the artistic conception in the song, he composed this song "Jiang Lou Yue", Meng Hongyu sighed quietly. year. The fourth brother likes this song the most. Every snowy night. I'm going to play this tune. I don't know where I learned the bad habits...... "I thought of this. Meng Hongyu couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"How. Tonight I suddenly heard this tune. You're missing your fourth brother." When you say the word "missing". The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart. There was also a hint of mockery in his tone.
yes. How ridiculous. year. Because of the struggle for the throne. Their brothers have long since ruthlessly severed their blood ties. Now. Can he still say "missing". Therefore. Meng Hongyu had to hide a trace of sentimentality in his heart. Instantly turned into the cold and ruthless emperor: "No. The sons did not miss him; Just listened to this flute music. I can't help but worry in my heart."
"Worry about what." The Queen Mother asked suspiciously. It's just a tune. And what is there to worry about.
"This piece was composed by the fourth brother himself. It has not been spread to the public. Therefore. There are only a handful of people who know this piece and know how to play it. The queen mother can hear it. The sound of the flute is clear and smooth. There is not a hint of condensation. It can be seen that the person who plays this flute seems to be quite familiar with this piece. Erchen thought to himself. Could it be that the fourth brother has returned?" Meng Hongyu told the doubts in his heart.
"Then you want your fourth brother to come back. Still don't want him back." The Queen Mother asked tentatively deliberately.
yes. He wants Meng Hongye to come back. Still don't want him back. Meng Hongyu never thought about this question. Don't want to know either.
"Just know he's alive. That's enough...... Erchen ...... I don't want him back." Meng Hongyu finally forced himself to answer, let him continue to wander the world. At least. Such. He's still alive......
"Then what is the emperor worried about?" The Queen Mother asked.
Oh, yes. What was he worried about? Although I know that I have already sat firmly in the country. There's nothing to worry about. However, after all, there was still a faint worry in his heart, worried that Meng Hongye would come back. Fear that he will covet his world. Even his women.
"yes. There's nothing to worry about." Meng Hongyu comforted himself. I am the Son of Heaven. Sitting firmly in the world. What else is there to worry about?"
"Since there's nothing to worry about. Then let's play a game of chess with the mourners." The Queen Mother said with relief. It's been a long time since you've played chess with the mourners."
Tell Aunt Shuwen to set up the chessboard. The mother and son played chess under the bright lights......
Siye Yuan (2). The door to the study was tightly closed. Only Liu Wanruo was alone in the study. She stood quietly by the window. Raised his head slightly and looked at the stars in the sky. Seen from a distance. She seems to be admiring the snow and the night. In fact. She's secretly talking to Zhan Zhan.
Zhan Zhan hides behind the green bamboo bushes by the window. He spoke softly to Ouyang Ying. Ouyang Ying stood by the window. Zhan Zhan stands outside the window. There are actually only three steps between them. However, no one found out about Zhan Zhan. Because. The night and the bamboo bushes hide Zhanzhan's posture well.
Zhan Zhan's hand clutched a jade flute tightly. That's just now, he took it from Ouyang Ying. If she hadn't come in time to snatch her jade flute. At this moment. She must have been found by Lu Yao and sent to the emperor. If Meng Hongyu knew that Ouyang Ying would actually play "Jiang Lou Yue". So. How would he associate it....... Even more unfortunate. If their affairs are discovered. At that time. How many people are going to die in Huangquan? Come to think of it. Zhan Zhan couldn't help but be frightened with cold hands and feet......
"Miss Ouyang, remember. Don't play this piece in the palace. Before entering the palace. The prince has already explained to you...... "Zhanzhan is still at ease. I don't know how many times I told Ouyang Ying.
"Brother Zhan, don't worry. I promise I won't make that mistake again." Ouyang Ying lowered his voice. Whisper comforting Zhan Zhan." Even if the emperor really found out that I was playing the flute. I have a way to deal with it. It definitely doesn't affect anyone else."
"That's good. This flute ...... I'll keep it for you for now." Zhan Zhan clutched the jade flute tightly. A chill came from the palm of his hand. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, or temporarily "confiscate" Ouyang Ying's jade flute. Save her from being attracted by the snowy night when she is lovesick. Will make such a fatal mistake again.
"Don't......" Before Ouyang Ying could finish speaking. Zhan Zhan rushed out of the bamboo bushes. Even if it jumps. Disappeared into the high wall in an instant...... Ouyang Ying had to stand stunned. Helplessly watched Zhan Zhan disappear with her jade flute......
Ay. That's it. Ouyang closed the window in a haunting manner. Go back to the table and sit down. Staring at the light and jumping candlelight on the table. Gradually, sorrow came from it. It cannot be severed.
It's just because it's snowing. She suddenly remembered that "he" had met him for the first time. It's also on such a cold and crystalline snowy night. She took off her makeup and was getting ready for bed. But I heard a clear flute. There was an indescribable sadness floating in the sound of the flute. It's like magic. Attracted her to follow the sound of the flute.
In the peach forest. She saw a graceful and slender back. The back is the same as the sound of the flute. There is also an unspeakable sadness. She silently watched his back. I couldn't help but feel sad inexplicably. The sound of the flute stopped abruptly. He turned around slowly. Thereupon. She saw his handsome and extraordinary face. It's like a shock. She couldn't help but be stunned, this was their first encounter. No one was seen. Hear it first. And that flute. It's a ray of fate. Pull them together.
He treated her with great courtesy. Treat her like a friend. However. But she unknowingly fell into a heart. Fell in love with his sorrow and flute. I've known him for a long time. She gradually learned that he was the wandering "Merry Prince" Meng Hongye. also understands that he is not as rumored to be "famous all over the world", but he is an infatuated man with affection and righteousness.
Every snowy night. He will play this lingering and mournful "Jianglou Yue" on the snow. The sound of the flute is faint. Weeping and complaining. Weeping is endless mourning. It's about his bumpy life. Her jade flute. It was a gift from him. Her flute music. That's what he taught.
In the evening. I suddenly remembered the first snow of this winter. The fluttering snowflakes decorate the world like heaven. It also evokes her endless lovesickness. She suddenly remembered Meng Hongye. Remembering his gentle smile. Remembering his flowing figure. Remembering his lingering flute...... And so unknowingly. She even took out the flute that she had carefully treasured. played his favorite song "Jiang Lou Yue......
The sound of her flute. I'm afraid the whole palace heard it.
On such a snowy night as quiet as a hollow valley. Under such a vast night sky. The sound of her flute will be blown far and far by the cold wind. Presumably the whole palace heard her flute. Therefore. Although Zhan Zhan came in time to take her jade flute. Let her get away with Lu Yao's pursuit. But. She knows. The Thing About the Flute in the Night. It's not going to end there. To know. Meng Hongyu is a cautious person who doesn't have a sense of security in his heart. He's going to keep going.
So. Next. What should she do? She has her own way.
