After days of heavy snowfall, there were days of sunny days, and the sky after the ice and snow seemed to be exceptionally bright and clear, and even the sunlight felt thorough. The snow on the eaves of the temple gradually melted, turning into droplets of water dripping down, slowly forming crystal clear ice picks.

During this period of time, Concubine Mu De would send people from time to time to invite Liu Yuanzhi to her Jiaofeng Palace Wenyuan Hall to discuss Buddhism with her, and specially instructed Liu Yuanzhi to bring the cold moon with her when she went.

At the end of the day, Liu Yuanzhi and Hanyue arrived at Wenyuan Palace, and the two accompanied Concubine Mu De to discuss Buddhism for a while, and then, Liu Yuanzhi and Concubine Mu De tasted tea for a while, and this day was very comfortable. Concubine Mude saw that the sky was just right outside the window, and on a whim, she proposed to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the plum blossoms.

When you come out of the Jiaofeng Palace and go to the Imperial Garden, you will pass through the gate of the Changxin Palace. A few people looked at the Ninghui Palace, which was originally quite favored, but now it was empty, and it was extremely depressed, and they couldn't help but sigh. Sun Yuwei, a once bright and domineering woman, has also passed with time and buried in the dust, and no one will talk about it anymore, and no one will remember it after a long time.

"All karma and fruit are according to the mind. Pretend to be evil from the heart, have retribution from the heart, everything is done by the heart, everything is done from the heart. The mind can turn sentient beings to evil pleasures in the future. She can be regarded as having evil retribution. Concubine Mu De sighed, she gathered the snow fox on her body, at least the purple gold relief hand stove in her hand could still make her feel a little real warmth.

Everyone in the world says that ghosts and gods are terrible, but in fact, what is more terrible than ghosts and gods is the human heart. Greed, hatred, infatuation, hatred, love, evil, desire, in this Quartet City, the ugliness and distortion of the human heart seem to be more obvious, chasing fame and fortune, fighting for power and position, being in this especially cold, this cold, like the most awe-inspiring wind in the cold winter, it penetrates into the depths of your heart until it freezes you.

Hearing this, Han Yue said, "The slave maid remembers that there is a saying in the tenth volume of "Za Ahan", the mottled and complex human heart, and the coat color of the bird is too much. The bird has all kinds of feathers because it has all kinds of hearts. Pollution and purity are determined by the mind. The heart is troubled, so all beings are annoyed, and the heart is pure, so all beings are pure. ”

Concubine Mu De likes to listen to Han Yue, she always feels that this little girl in front of her is very different, so she specially promised Han Yue that she doesn't have to abide by those dead rules in front of her, and she can say whatever she wants. Han Yue had a ruler in her heart, she firmly grasped the measure, and only said a few words when it came to Buddhism.

Concubine Mu De smiled when she heard this, "Yes, the heart is like a painter, and he can paint the world." ”

A few people walked all the way, all the way to the Buddha's teachings, but also quite speculative, about a cup of tea to the Imperial Garden. Although the Imperial Garden in winter is not as colorful and vibrant as in spring, it has a unique and refreshing charm.

As far as the eye can see, the whole plum blossom forest, one red plum and one white plum, cold and fiery complement each other. The powerful plum branches are wrapped in a layer of crystal clear ice crystals, which makes them more and more icy and jade.

After walking around Merlin, Concubine Mude's body that had always been afraid of cold could not stand the cold wind for a long time, so she went back to Jiaofeng Palace first. Liu Yuanzhi and Zi Mo saw that the winter scenery was very good, and they still had some unfinished thoughts in their hearts, so they took the cold moon and walked around with them.

Han Yue looked at the snow and plum blossoms in front of her, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and then remembered the scene of appreciating the plum blossoms in King Jing's mansion that year, and her heart was a little turbulent for a while. It's just that now she recalls the past, and she no longer has any affection, some are just feelings, and she feels that things are wrong.

The dark fragrance is still floating, but the flowers have already bloomed. With the blowing, the plum petals are like snow chaotic, drifting, falling, sprinkled on the tips of the hair, ears, and clothes, before they are brushed and stained. Once the flowers bloomed beautifully, the elegance of the branches, after all, still can't get rid of the fate of falling into mud and dust.

"No matter how precious the plum blossoms in the palace are, they are not as good as the wild plums on the side of the broken bridge outside the post. The plum blossoms in the high walls and deep courtyards are bound by the mortal dust, contaminated with the breath of the world, but have lost their own elegance and spirituality. A female voice as cold as jade came, breaking Cold Moon's immersive thoughts. She turned around and saw Xi Fangru, who was wearing a dark purple satin lynx, walking towards this side.

Hanyue remembered that Xi Fangru was the same group of women who entered the palace as Liu Yuanzhi, and she was the daughter of Xi Shuzhi, the son of Sipin Guozi, and in terms of their position, they were neither enemies nor friends. There has never been a deep intersection between them, so Hanyue's impression of her is only when they first met.

At this moment, this clear voice, coupled with this unique discourse, couldn't help but make Han Yue re-examine Xi Fangrulai. Xi Fangru is not very glamorous, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a small cherry mouth, and fair skin like porcelain, she is a typical Jiangnan woman. She combed Chaoyun near the incense bun, obliquely inserted a pearl butterfly flower day, the right hairpin with a purple jade silk hairpin, and wore a pair of glazed flower pendants, and there was no other gorgeous jewelry, so dressed, so that she had a little more elegance in the gentle and soft temperament, like a Guanghan fairy.

"Xi Imperial Girl." Liu Yuanzhi greeted the courtesy. "The slave maid has seen the Xi maiden." Han Yue and Zi Mo saluted.

"Liu Cairen." Xi Fangru replied, "I have heard the name of Liu Cai for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to intersect before, and I am fortunate to see it here today." ”

Liu Yuanzhi smiled in return, and then heard Xi Fangru say, "I heard that the emperor once praised Liu Cairen for his elegance and virtue, gentleness and general knowledge, which is comparable to Ban Jieyu, the concubine of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. But ......" she paused, "Ban Jieyu is good, but no matter how good she is, what is the use, but the final outcome is to provoke Emperor Han Cheng to be disgusted and die alone." I think it's better for Liu Cairen not to follow in her footsteps. ”

Zi Mo, who was following Han Yue, couldn't help but feel hostile when he heard Xi Fang's words like this, and took a step forward and said, "Imperial Girl Xi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Han Yue stopped the impulsive Zi Mo and shook her head at her, and Zi Mo reluctantly retreated. Xi Fang is such a low-key and unassuming person, Liu Yuanzhi and her have never been unhappy, Hanyue does not think that Xi Fang will come to Liu Yuanzhi for no reason in the winter, and sneer at Liu Yuanzhi.

Liu Yuanzhi smiled slightly, "Please also ask the Imperial Lady Xi to speak clearly." ”

Xi Fangru saw that Liu Yuanzhi was still not arrogant, not angry, and not annoyed after hearing such words, and she couldn't help but feel a little good in her heart, and she felt more and more that her actions at this time were correct.

Xi Fangru said frankly, "Liu Cai is not strange, I am not here to find trouble." On the contrary, I want to tell you, watch out for the Cloud Maiden. When Liu Yuanzhi heard this, there was a puzzled look on her face.

When Han Yue heard this, her heart chuckled. Her eyebrows jumped slightly, but she quickly regained her calmness, and she waited quietly beside Liu Yuanzhi for Xi Fangru to continue.

"I live with Li Chongrong in Yilan Palace, and my Yifei Hall and her Yuling Hall are facing each other. Coincidentally, I have accidentally bumped into the Cloud Imperial Maiden coming out of the Yuling Hall of Li's fullness a few times. "Listening to Xi Fangru say this, where is there a reason that Hanyue doesn't understand.

Li Chongrong is the faction of Concubine Yan Shu, and they have never dealt with Liu Yuanzhi, Ruan Mingting and Qu Zhixu. Yun Yuya has always been friendly with Liu, Ruan, and Qu, and has never had any friendship with Li Chongrong, but now she has been seen by Xi Fangru with her own eyes. Han Yue suddenly thought of the vague fragrance she had smelled on Yun Yuya the day before, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered it. That smell, she had smelled on Li Chongrong's body, it was the smell of Li Chongrong's beloved gara incense! It's just that she doesn't smell it often, so she forgets it for a while. Thinking of this, Han Yue's heart froze whole.

Liu Yuanzhi was a little surprised when she heard this, she unconsciously glanced at Han Yue, only to see that Han Yue's eyes were dark and gloomy, and her heart sank.

Xi Fangru continued to say to Liu Yuanzhi, "I know that you have always been good friends with Yun Imperial Maiden, and you may think that I am sowing discord when I say this. Believe it or not, I've said everything I need to say. ”

Seeing Han Yue's reaction, Liu Yuanzhi had already believed Xi Fangru's words for seven or eight points, but it was not appropriate to show too much on her face, besides, she had doubts about Xi Fang's actions in her heart, "I don't know why you want to tell me these words?" ”

Xi Fangru stroked the sideburns that were blown by the wind, pinned a strand of hair behind his ear, and then said leisurely, "The clouds in the palace cover my eyes, but my heart is not blind." I know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, who is worth helping and who is not. What's more, I'm just doing this for my own future, trying to find a reliable ally. After she finished speaking, she took her maidservant and left.

"Yue'er." Liu Yuanzhi wanted to ask, but only called out Hanyue's name. She asked herself to treat Yun Yuya like a sister, but now she has to face Yun Yuya's betrayal, Liu Yuanzhi's heart is inevitably a little bitter and painful.

"Miss, do you believe what she says?" Zi Mo asked.

Han Yue's face was gloomy, "Do you remember that when I came out of the Lotus Yi Hall that day, I asked you a question. I asked you if you had any special smells, and you all shook your heads that day and said no, and I thought it was your own delusion. Han Yue said this, and suddenly sneered, "Now that I think about it, she is stained with the smell of Jia Luo incense, which Li Chongrong loves." ”

If Yun Yuya had only met and spoken a few words to Li Chongrong, it would be impossible for her to be contaminated with the smell of Jialuo incense, unless she had been in Li Chongrong's Yuling Palace, and she had stayed for a long time. Zi Mo heard the words, and his heart was clear, so he stopped talking. The most humble thing is only feelings, the coolest thing is just the human heart, and nothing is immutable.
