Chapter Twenty-Four: The White Head
Two paper umbrellas, one red and one white, two figures, one red and one white, in the snow, farther and farther away from Merlin, gradually shrank into two dots, and then slowly overlapped, and finally disappeared......
Some people in the snow recall, since some people quietly enjoy the tranquility under the eaves of this moment, it seems that in the white world, you can always get the inner quiet, and it is easier to find the beauty of this winter with a new look, Liu Yi and Xu Pingjun are one of them, the two hold hands and look at each other, at this time, the snow has pedestrian footprints, and the middle of the road is also opened out of a thin snow road that only covers the falling.
"Pingjun, can I still remember the year we first met, the warm sun was warm, the white plum blossoms were blooming, you and I were still young, you stood under the flowers......" The memory stretched the current time, and returned to nine years ago in a flash, as if everything had not changed, but time was spinning mercilessly.
"Remember, this plum blossom is not as gorgeous as the peony, not as elegant as the lotus, but it is the most dignified, the most fearless of the cold, through the extreme cold, it is gorgeous, sick, you say so?" Xu Pingjun turned his head and blinked at Liu Aiji, his eyes flowing, and he had a deep meaning.
"You are worthy of Sister Huo Chengjun, but for me." Liu Yi had wrapped Xu Pingjun's slightly cold hands with his hands, "I won't be impulsive anymore, but I have no regrets before." There was a firmness in his words that was difficult to veto, and his eyes showed the true meaning of his words.
Xu Pingjun and Liu Yi have become closer, "It's not all, Huo Guang's power is so big, even I know that you and I are from the people, you and I are not in harmony, fighting back and forth, and the people are still hurt, just say that the last time I looked for the sword, didn't it still disturb the people." Xu Pingjun said what he thought to himself, but he didn't know that the speaker had no intention, and the listener who already had the heart was more firmly in his heart.
Xu Pingjun didn't realize the meaning of Liu Ai's disappearing eyes, and still talked about what he was thinking, he hadn't talked to Liu Ai like this for a long time, not that he didn't have time, but she was also hesitant and afraid, after all, in the people, there are not a few things that have seen power change people's hearts, if it is not for sure, Liu Ai has treated himself, and he is still the same Liu Ai before, these words, she will definitely not say, before looking for him, she has been prepared to no longer exist, "Sick, I am good friends with Chengjun, what do you think?" ”
"Pingjun, you are simple-minded, I know you, others may not know, what the Huo family is thinking, even I can't see it, what about you?" Even though his impression of Huo Chengjun has changed, when he didn't see her, he felt that the daughter of the Huo family was by no means simple and pure, and Liu was ill, so he still had to be wary.
Xu Pingjun paused slightly, and when he met Liu Aiji's eyes again, he said truthfully: "The illness is over, Chengjun Chengfu is not so deep, she is just a fourteen-year-old woman, why are those conspiracies and tricks, I have never told you, how I got to Huo Mansion, and how I reunited with you." The longer the time drags on, the deeper Liu Yi's misunderstanding of Huo Chengjun will be, out of personal thoughts, Xu Pingjun also hopes that her husband can not be prejudiced against her rare sister, although she is a member of the Huo family.
But to be honest, how could the Huo family really hurt them anything, if it weren't for Huo Guang, how could Liu Ai get on the throne, if Huo Guang was selfish, he would detain Xu Pingjun in the mansion, wait for his daughter to become the queen, and then release him, but in the end, Huo Guang still chose to let Xu Pingjun enter the palace so that their husband and wife could be reunited, how could it be summed up in a word.
"After you entered the palace, you only cared about asking how you were in the people, but you forgot how you entered the Huo Mansion." The joy of getting together, how can I take care of others, and the answer in Liu Yi's heart told him that everything would not be so coincidental, so he didn't ask each other again, knowing that she was not wronged, everything was fine, and when he mentioned it today, he knew that he was negligent.
Although the marriage has only been more than two years, the days of sharing joys and sorrows have made Xu Pingjun have a better understanding of Liu Ill, and also made Liu Ill have more trust in him, "That day I wanted to go to the palace to find you, but I was stopped by the guards, and when I was waiting, I met Huo Chengjun's carriage, and I had the courage to stop it, thanks to her kindness, I didn't care about my surprise, I knew that I was looking for a husband, and promised to help my husband and wife reunite, so that I could enter the Huo ......Mansion" The causes and consequences were explained one by one, and then turned to Liu Ill, "Illness has been, Chengjun's heart is good, why should we speculate so much, It hurts people's hearts. "For Huo Chengjun, Xu Pingjun also had Liu Yi's initial vigilance, and even feared that her husband would enter the palace to accompany her, she was a woman, no matter how generous she was, she didn't want her husband to be accompanied by others, and that person was still in front of him, but Huo Chengjun's various words and deeds made Xu Pingjun feel at ease.
"If you believe in her, I will not hurt her." put his hand on Xu Pingjun's thin shoulder, let her snuggle in his arms, and watch a snow dance together.
From one day to dusk, the snow fell quietly, without stopping, but gradually getting smaller, the sky was completely dark, and in the twilight, there was a white light reflecting the color of the snow, as if the Milky Way was connected with heaven and earth, half of the world and half of the sky.
In the light snow, Huo Chengjun and Shangguan are in harmony with the misty incense, a piano and a Xiao, very harmonious, a song winds around the Changle Palace, melts into the music, slowly melts into the heart, and puts down the complicated things that have been put aside for the time being, it seems that it is just a person in the song, the hand is up and down, there is still a residual sound, and the person seems to be drunk in the song, unwilling to wake up, and ask why this song is, only to say "Dream".
"The song is over, the snow is small, and the road must be cleared, why not take advantage of this to take a look again, I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the twilight snow." Shangguan is hazy and rare to be playful, to Huo Chengjun.
Huo Chengjun also seemed to have returned to the past, when they still had nothing to worry about, they were just innocent years, when Nai was letting them grow up, it also made them slowly have the same thoughts as before, and also added time to the sorrow, "The meaning of the Queen Mother, how dare Chengjun disobey, let's go!" After speaking, he took Shangguan's hazy wrist, smiled, and walked out of Changle Palace.
"There seems to be nowhere to go in this palace", walking casually, but not knowing where to go, "How about sitting in the Japanese Wind Pavilion?" Shangguan Youhao raised his eyes and looked at the sky where there was still snow, and said a place casually.
"In the morning, the dialect is red plum and white plum, if you don't go to see the white plum at this time, it's a pity, why just sit in the pavilion, if you want to say that you have been sitting for a day." Huo Chengjun persuaded Shangguan Youhao, in fact, along the way, the scenery was already in his eyes, the snow was reckless, and the most unforgettable thing was this piece of cleanliness.
Shangguan Youhao also nodded, and went all the way to the land of white plums, in fact, there are a lot of white plums in the palace, but they are just a few bushes here, and a few plants from other sides, if they are moved to one place to plant, they may not be less than the red plums.
The beautiful woman here went with an umbrella, but it turned out that there was already a pair of people without umbrellas, the light snow fell, they stood against the snow, one black and one red, becoming a place for people to stop in the silver and white.
"No wonder so many people in the palace say that the emperor and queen are a pair made in heaven. How can so many people's eyes be fake, but at the beginning, I don't know how many people's eyes were burned.
Although Shangguan's faint voice was small, Liu Yi had already heard it in the silence, and the two of them turned their heads and saw the two women who were also standing in the snow, both staring and laughing.
For the first time, they met so peacefully; For the first time, I watched silently for so long; For the first time, those precautions were removed, as if the snow had erased everything and everything had started again.
"On a snowy day, why don't you use an umbrella and not be afraid of the cold?" Shangguan Youhao smiled slightly, and with these words, the two of them also opened umbrellas to shelter the two under the umbrella.
"A burst of twilight snow has whitened your two heads, which seems to be a good omen for growing old together." Huo Chengjun looked at the snow, his hair had been dyed with snowflakes, and it was a little white, and quipped.
"Borrowing Miss Huo's auspicious words, there are few companions in Zitong's palace, but she is good friends with Miss Huo, and Miss Huo and the Empress Dowager are their own family, but they often go into the palace to gossip and relieve boredom." As he spoke, Liu Yi had already taken out a token from his wide sleeve and handed it to Huo Chengjun.
Huo Chengjun froze in place, his hand was not stretched out for a long time, he looked at Shangguan Youhao, and only when he saw her nodding did he take it with both hands, "Your Majesty, if you don't give up, Chengjun will accept it." In addition to being generous, Huo Chengjun also knew that this was Liu Ai's tactful gesture, although for some reason, it was indeed much more convenient to have this token, Shangguan nodded again, and Xu Pingjun also smiled, and he couldn't brush Liu Ai's face, so he accepted it.
Liu Ai has made this move, first, he knows Xu Pingjun's thoughts, and hopes that he can seek peace for Xu Pingjun; Second, after Xu Pingjun's words in the morning and Huo Chengjun's blessing at this time, Liu Ying has gradually begun to try to let go of his defense against her, maybe she is indeed an innocent person.
"Since we have met, it is better to go to the Jiaofang Hall to eat together, when I came out, I had ordered someone to prepare a meal, and it was just right to go back at this time." Liu Aiji's token not only won the peace of mind of Shangguan Youhao and Huo Chengjun, but also made Xu Pingjun's heart more happy, knowing that he intended to let go, he also invited him.
But I don't know that a meal has slowly narrowed the distance between several people, they are all the same age, they all have their own hesitations, if they let go of their political positions, they may really be friends, but who knows, who is willing to let go, and who can't let go?
Huo Chengjun was not in the mansion, Huo Guang was empty, and he was cooking tea for Han Zeng. Han Zeng is thousands of people are unwilling, but the general invites him, how can he not give this face, but if he goes, anyone can know what Huo Guang is doing, I thought that after surviving these few days, I am afraid that this matter will be stopped, who knows, there is such a thing.
Han Zeng stubbornly went forward, pretending to be relaxed, and talked with or high-minded, especially when it came to military affairs, Han Zeng talked about the truth, Huo Guang felt more and more that he was looking for the right person, and just when he wanted to ask the question that Han Zeng was worried about, he was stopped. Huo Guang was also anxious, after all, his daughter would be fifteen years old after the New Year, and this family affair would be decided one day earlier.
