Concubine Xiao Mo (4)
In winter, the pear orchard looks very deserted, with only bare branches intertwined.
Xiao Mo and I walked along the boardwalk of the pear orchard, and unconsciously walked to the plank bridge in the middle of the lake, looking down at the lake, the lake water was crystal clear, and the wind blew ripples.
There is a pavilion in the lake, and Xiao Mo and I plan to go up and sit down.
Xiao Mo told me that she had been with the emperor for a few days and felt that he was not the same as the outside world.
He is not irritable, he is very serious when he criticizes, he is not indifferent, but he always finds it difficult to get close to.
"Do you know that Jean Lin? He's an emperor, and he's actually the best at drawing, isn't it? Xiao Mo exclaimed.
I wondered, "Oh? How do you know? ”
Xiao Mo compared a piece of paper with his hand, made a gesture of picking it up, and said: "Just last night, he actually took the initiative to talk to me for the first time, he took a painting and asked me, saying that the portrait in the painting is not like me?" It turned out that he had been drawing me for days, and it was boring. ”
"Like?" I tilted my head to look at her.
There was a flash of joy on her face, and then a look of disgust.
She said: "It's like it, and it's like a dog emperor, and I hate him." ”
"Why do you hate him so much?" I asked.
Xiao Mo thought for a while, and then said with a disappointed face: "Actually, it's not that I hate him, I just don't want to hate Daddy, so I transfer my emotions to him, but I also know that the gang of little mountain bandits has gone too far, and sooner or later something will happen." ”
"Even if the Xiao family doesn't do it, the Duoqi Empire has been staring." I'll help her say it.
She nodded sadly: "And the emperor doesn't know about this, in the past two days, Duo Qi has sent envoys to ask the emperor to hand over Daddy and send Duo Qi to punish the crime." ”
"Killing people in the country?" I reacted.
"Almost this crime, the emperor is unwilling to hand over Daddy, and now he has been talking about it." Xiao Mo said distressedly.
"Then you shouldn't hate the emperor, he is very good to you, he has been promoting your position, that is to tell Duo Qi that he will not hand over the Xiao family." I analyzed.
Xiao Mo lowered his head and whispered: "I know, so I hate him on the surface, anyway, my dog emperor shouted it, and he didn't get angry." ”
"You shouted to his face?" I was shocked, Xiao Mo really dared, courageous, much more courageous than me.
"yes, he didn't get angry, he laughed, and I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment."
"You still want to feel a sense of accomplishment? Auntie, it's a blessing that you can live until now! "Now it's my turn to admire her, she's really out of the sky." Concubine Xiao, the slave is really admired! ”
"Don't make fun of me, Qin Lin, what kind of concubine is this, I can't be happy." Xiao Mo said sadly, "Wait for next year, the emperor promised me that he would let me go back, and at that time, I would be able to meet the little mountain bandits." ”
"That's all promised to you? The harem concubine can't go home easily. "I was amazed again.
This emperor, wouldn't he really like Xiao Mo? However, Xiao Mo is cute, lively and cheerful, and it is normal to like her.
It's just Xia Zihuang, and many people are afraid that they can't accept it.
"He said that he took me to Weifu for a private visit, and it was not open to the public." Xiao Mo said with a wink.
It's also a good thing that the two of them can get along well.
Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Go back, he will see you again in the evening, and it would be a great sin not to see me." ”
"That's right! I almost forgot! Xiao Mo jumped up, she said anxiously, "I'm going to have dinner with the Dog Emperor today!" I've got to get back, I'm late, he's going to taunt me later. ”
"Then let's go, Concubine Xiao, Xiao Da Beauty!"
"Qin Lin, you tease me again, I hate you if you tease me again!"
The two of us were playing around, it was like going back to the time of class, she was the naughtiest, and I still played with her.
I sent her back to the Depth of Field Palace, she got ready for her makeup, and I went back, and slowly the sky darkened.
In another month, it is the first spring, the palace must be very lively for the New Year, this year there are so many concubines in the palace, I want to come to set up a banquet, our food must be very busy.
It is estimated that I will start preparing for the banquet now, and in a few days, I will not have time to come to Xiao Mo to play.
I passed by the pear orchard, and the ghost gave me a quick look, and then walked in again.
There are few people in the pear orchard during this season, and generally in spring, the emperor and his concubines will play in the pear orchard.
Xiao Mo was there just now, and he didn't feel it yet, but now if he looks closely, the pear orchard looks extremely desolate in this cold wind.
This is incompatible with the grandeur of the palace.
The pear blossom is white and flawless, like snow and the moon, and the elegant and cold temperament reminds me of Yu Ge, the white clothes are fluttering, and the sword is lonely and frosty.
Now, where is he? What are you doing?
Why didn't he come?
When the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed up by the darkness, the sky was completely dark, and the night sky seemed to be covered with dark blue silk cloth, and the stars jumped out of the clouds.
Time passed so quickly, it was so late, and I realized that I was hungry.
I whispered to myself, "It's time to eat." ”
With that, I was going to leave the pear orchard.
"Xiao Lin."
……
The familiar sound was like a pebble falling into the calm water, breaking the dead silence.
I froze in place, trembling all over, and a warm current climbed from behind me to my whole body.
I didn't dare to make any moves.
I'm afraid that the sound just now is just an auditory hallucination, and I'm afraid that as soon as I move, it will disappear, and I will find that there is actually nothing.
This is the imperial city of Luanling, and it is the most heavily guarded place in Luanling, how could Yu Ge come, I laughed at myself, I really thought about it every day, and I came up with hallucinations.
"Xiaolin, I'm here."
He said it again.
I turned around slowly and stiffly, and looked at the place where the voice came from, and there was a black figure standing under the pear blossom tree, he wrapped himself tightly, but his eyes.
I recognized it immediately.
It's him.
It's Yu Ge.
On the twenty-first day of our separation, he came to me.
I turned my head and left, Yu Ge came forward to pull me, I shook off his hand, he seemed to be a little at a loss, he wanted to pull me again, stretched out his hand, and retracted it again.
"You're here, but it's too late!"
I don't know what I'm feeling.
All the emotions that had been calm and precipitated all came up, I waited for him at the Jin house for five days, but he didn't come, and now that I entered the palace, he actually sneaked in to find me.
At the risk of being considered an assassin, he escaped all the guards just to come to me?
What expression should I use to meet him? What tone should I use to speak to him?
"I ...... I did my best. Yu Ge replied in a deep voice.
"Then did you finally go to the Jin family to find me?" I looked into his eyes, and he only looked at me, and I could even see my reflection in his eyes.
But he said, "No." ”
I smiled wryly, yes, who am I? Who am I Yu Ge? Why do people have to come to me, why do they have to accompany me to mess around?
I thought for a moment and asked, "And now, can you take me away?" Leave the palace. ”
"The guards are guarding, you don't have a light work, you can't." Yu Ge replied decisively, his black hair was blown up by the wind, and a trace of broken hair helped his eyes.
I nodded understandingly.
As decisive as when I first entered the palace, I turned to leave, and he wanted to follow me, and took two steps forward.
I turned around and said viciously, "Don't follow me!" ”
He stopped in place for a moment, no longer taking a step forward, just kept looking at my back and disappeared from his eyes.
