Return to the Palace (2)
After a rainstorm, the weather felt slightly cool, and in the evening, when the heat faded, Shen Wan took Cui Shanggong to walk by the lake.
"Did the teacher send me the letter to my brother?" While brushing aside the weeping willows, he asked idly.
Cui Shanggong followed behind Shen Wan and replied softly, "It's been sent out!" ”
"That's good!" Shen Wan smiled: "The war is tight, even if someone dies, no one will suspect anything?" ”
Cui Shanggong was silent, only she understood what Shen Wan meant in this sentence.
Unconsciously, halfway through, Shen Wan sighed and said: "It's a pity, I didn't go to the cruise ship this year, I remember that in previous years, when the emperor was still there, he had a banquet on the cruise ship, and ordered the palace maid to wear pink palace clothes to pick lotus flowers, at that time, I played with several princes very hard!" ”
Thinking of these, she naturally had a smile on her lips, and said: "They are stupid, they can ride horses, but they can't swim, although I can't ride horses, but I love to go into the water, at that time, I was always laughed at by them because of horseback riding, and I laughed at them because of this kung fu, hehe, cousin...... My cousin fell into the lake in order to pick a lotus pod for me that year, but everyone was bluffed, but I went into the water to save him......
Shen Wan squinted her eyes, remembering the scene of that day, she was smiling in her heart, but? When I thought that my cousin was now in the Buddhist gate, and that the man who was as gentle as jade was now wearing a monk's robe, I couldn't help but sigh faintly.
"Niangniang, it's the emperor who is here!" Cui Shanggong reminded.
Shen Wan retracted her thoughts, and saw Xichen wearing a dazzling Ming Huang dragon robe from a distance, followed by a large group of palace people, slowly walking towards this side.
"Niangniang, Fang Jieyu has passed away, Concubine Qi is banned, Niangniang should release her suspicions with the emperor!" Cui Shanggong said again.
Shen Wan suddenly smiled and said, "Indeed, it's time to release the previous suspicions!" He turned around, but walked away again.
Cui Shanggong sighed and had to follow.
Walking to a place, some distance from the lake, there are no willow trees, only a few maple trees.
Shen Wan tilted her head and looked fixedly at the maple leaves that had not yet turned red.
I don't know how long it took, she heard a gentle cough behind her, Shen Wan turned her head slightly, and saw Xichen standing beside her, she didn't salute, just smiled at him, pointed to the leaves on the tree and said softly: "Look, the maple leaves are red!" ”
Xichen didn't realize that his heart moved, and he looked at her side face in a daze.
Her long, curly eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, her eyes shone with a rainbow of color, her small nose was slightly upturned, her cherry mouth was gently raised, and her thin chin was raised by the side of her face, and her slender neck looked more and more soft and enchanting.
Xichen stopped and looked at it for a long time, and then followed her finger to see a maple leaf hidden behind the dense leaves, a red maple leaf that was first accompanied by companions.
He saw the light in her eyes, and his heart swelled up.
Jumping up, accompanied by the call of the palace people, Xichen climbed the branch with one hand, and had already picked the red maple with the other, and then fell lightly, Xichen handed the maple leaf in his hand to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan held her chest and looked at him with a little reproach, "You scared me to death!" ”
Xichen smiled, but did not speak.
Shen Wan took the maple leaf, put it in the palm of her hand, and rubbed it gently, with a brisk smile floating on her lips.
After a long time, he remembered her looking up, pointing to the maple tree and saying, "Look, the maple leaves are red!" It was the message she had found that the first leaf of autumn was coming, and she shared it with him.
And she also remembered that he jumped for her and picked the first reddish maple leaf.
So many days of unhappiness and haze finally dissipated because of this small maple leaf.
The war in the west is still tight, it has reached the point of white heat, and the people of the palace are no longer pampered by the dust, they are busy during the day, and they may not sleep for a long time at night.
It's easy to have a leisurely night: "Crane and Deer in the Same Spring", the emperor and queen play chess together face to face, Shen Wan's chess style seems to be light and light, but there are killing moves hidden everywhere, and the chess of Xichen is calm and unpredictable all the way.
"The emperor won't have the heart to let his concubines be!" Shen Wan said with a smile as she made a sharp move.
Xichen smiled and said, "I'm afraid this trick is not suitable for Wanwan's handwriting!" After that, he also put a son next to him.
When Shen Wan saw it, she was stunned, and the full game of chess was impenetrable under his quiet control.
If it weren't for the sharp killing move just now, I wouldn't have lost so badly.
With such a move, he didn't even have the strength to fight back.
The chess pieces in his hand fell with a "snap", and he muttered: "Don't play!" ”
Xichen smiled: "How can there be such a thing as you, if you don't win, you will be cheating!" ”
Shen Wan said angrily: "You don't know to let me!" ”
Xichen smiled: "How do you know that I won't let it?" ”
Shen Wan was even more angry: "If you let it go like this, wouldn't it be worse to lose if you don't let it, it's just that Go is not what I am proficient in, let's play beast chess!" ”
Xichen waved his hand and said: "That's it, your beast chess can't even win against my father, and I can't do it!" ”
Shen Wan pushed the chessboard in front of her and sighed: "It's really a mistake, the whole game is lost!" ”
Xichen took the opportunity to hold the hand that loved him and said, "What are you sad about?" It's just a game of chess, let's just talk! ”
Shen Wan smiled helplessly at him, his hand was held by him, only to feel that his palm was warm, but his fingertips were a little cold, and he couldn't help but shake his body and shivered.
Xichen noticed it, stood up and came to her side, helped her tuck the off-the-shoulder tulle skirt, and said: "It's cold tonight, it's cooler than before, you can also add some clothes, I know you are not resistant to heat, but you also have to worry about your own body!" ”
Shen Wan smiled: "I know, it's autumn soon, let's go back to the palace on a day!" I'm tired of living here, and I have a lot of things to do when I go back, and I have to inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make autumn clothes, as well as the Mid-Autumn Festival...... Come to think of it, it's giving me a headache again! ”
Xichen rubbed her fragrant shoulder, as if she was stupid, her hands were greasy and smooth like clotted fat, cool as satin, down the fragrant shoulder, her breasts were half exposed, and she didn't feel that her throat moved, and the Confucian clothes of the golden peony wrapped her full chest tightly, and she was about to lean down to pick her up, but she heard Xiaoshizi call: "Your Majesty!" ”
Xichen frowned and glared back at him.
Xiao Shizi innocently handed over the fold in his hand and said, "Eight hundred miles to the west is urgent!" ”
Xichen hurriedly snatched it over, Shen Wan also looked over nervously, but saw that Xichen's face changed from deep to pleasant: "Good, good, good, great victory in the West, the lord of the West Country was injured by General Pei, and he couldn't afford to be sick, hahahaha!" ”
Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but at the same time, she was also worried, General Pei made another military exploit, and Concubine Pei was afraid that she would be favored again.
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
Xichen held Shen Wan's shoulder and said: "The lord of the Western Regions has withdrawn his troops, I'm afraid I won't be able to harass my country for a while, I will order them to come back, I want to celebrate their achievements, Wanwan, you will be able to see your brother soon!" ”
Shen Wan had tears in her eyes, and smiled softly: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion!" ”
Brother...... It's been more than a year since I said goodbye, the last time we met, I was still a palace maid, this time, I became the queen, brother, will you blame me, marry the enemy who killed my father?
