Chapter 42: Hanmei Blooms Alone
The Rui beast outside the hall has been settled away, the clouds and mist in the night are thin and diffuse, lightly covering the hazy moonlight flowing, the stars are brilliant with the moon is deep and blue, and then there is a large area of flowers and trees with a large light and faint shadows, the indescribable quiet and the hustle and bustle of the lanterns around the Tongquetai Hall are completely different, the Zhao Palace transplanted the best scenery in the world, but after all, it lost its pleasant charm.
Zhisu specially added a thick coat to Lan Bi's court clothes, for fear that she would freeze, she said to Fu Xin: "The prosperous scene of Changping during the New Year's banquet looks lively at first glance, but it is not as moving as the moonlight that looks up. ”
"It's very beautiful, but if you look closely at those dense and complex stars, it may not be quiet." Fu Xin also raised her head slightly, looking for those touching places.
Lan Bi was about to say something, but a burst of retching came up, and her body couldn't help shaking, covering her abdomen: "It's such a reaction again, this child is really tormenting his mother." ”
Fu Xin was concerned about his approach, and said softly: "Is it so tight, it's cold outside, or my sister should hurry back to the palace." ”
Zhi Su said anxiously on the side: "Alas, in the past, at this point, the master fell asleep early when he first arrived, how could he have survived like this, the little master was weak after being pregnant, how could he stand it." ”
It's already the second day, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet won't end until the first month of the third day is renewed, so it's no wonder that pregnant women like Lan Bi feel uncomfortable.
Lan Bi barely held on, and said softly: "Then I'll go back to the palace first, my sister should return to the banquet table as soon as possible, don't let Your Majesty lose sight of people, and you haven't brought out your hand stove, pay attention to your body." ”
Fu Xin nodded, sent Lan Bi away, but did not plan to return to the banquet immediately, stepping on the embroidered shoes with soft soles of Shu brocade, stepping into the snow step by step, the long skirt of the court dress was behind it, covering the snow, rolling up those fine snow slags.
Those plum blossoms bloomed very well, and they were particularly arrogant among the flowers and trees, which made her suddenly think of a poem "The plum and the snow are three points white, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum."
Under the cold moonlit night, those petals were smooth and transparent, like amber or pink jade carvings, as if they were dyed with snow, so that the ghosts sent the gods to reach these flowers, and even wanted to break a bunch and hold them in their arms.
She had just exerted some strength, but she felt that those branches were so cold and hard that her hands were frozen, and a magnetic voice came from behind her: "These flowers can't be broken." ”
Letting go of the plum blossom branch in front of him like an electric shock, his heart sank, and he immediately turned around vigilantly, and his eyebrows and eyes calmed down after being surprised: "His Royal Highness King Yu." ”
King Yu smiled kindly: "I met again with a talented person." ”
After thinking about it, he calmly brushed off the snow that fell on his shoulders, and said politely: "I have already met His Highness at the banquet across the table, and it is not a matter of it." ”
His warm jade-like gaze slightly lingered on his face: "You are not the same as before, from embarrassment to good wind and clouds." ”
Fu Xin's face was slightly hot, and he pursed his lips and said: "One moment east wind, one moment west wind, it's just like this in the palace." He remembered and said, "Did the prince's horse be found later?" ”
King Yu couldn't hide his frustration and said: "I have checked it, and it has long been annihilated." "It's just a small number, but it's enough to make people gasp.
Fu Xin regretted and was annoyed, and he took the initiative to mention this stubble, and said helplessly: "It seems that I really owe a huge amount of money." ”
"You are by the royal brother's side, do you want to take his horse to compensate?" King Yu smiled and softened, and said: "Farewell, the first emperor gave me this good horse, and the imperial brother was still bored for a while." ”
Fu Xin showed a slight smile and paused: "You just said that these flowers can't be folded, because the flowers here are particularly expensive or not." ”
"This large area of flowers and trees was planted by the first emperor and the queen mother, and it was the only one, not only the queen mother who liked plum blossoms at that time." Hu Zhen's warm face was smooth and unrecognizable.
Fu Xin looked at him with a smile on his face.
Hu Zhen condensed slightly, and continued: "The first emperor promised the queen mother before the establishment of the dynasty as the emperor, if one day I am the queen of the emperor and unload the army, I will find a place like this in the palace and plant all her favorite flowers and plants for her, so after this piece of flowers and trees is cultivated, other concubines rarely come, although there is no explicit rule, but no one wants to displease the queen, but once, a slave at the bottom instigated me to be young and fold the queen's plum blossoms. ”
Fu Xin doesn't need to continue to ask, and can roughly guess what this is, it is too easy to deceive a child who does not have a long heart.
But she really envied and admired the Queen Mother, who was blessed all her life, born in the palm of the Taiwei family, and then married Taizu, established a dynasty and ascended to the throne, and was loved by her husband, she was the first person worthy of the name, and the fly in the ointment was the estrangement with the child.
I don't know how to think about it, but I just said for no reason: "In my family, there are only four children of our same father and mother, two brothers and one sister, and there is no one else, if there is, I don't think my mother will treat others as well as the four of us." ”
Hu Zhen smiled noncommittally: "But now, time has passed, and this flower forest has long been open to the public." ”
"Then the prince is still scared, and he doesn't let the concubine break." Fu Xin became a sharp tooth again, and his eyes flashed.
Hu Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Where do you want to take it back when you fold it, at the banquet?" As he spoke, he folded a small plum blossom and put it into his hand stove, which was filled with the delicate and elegant fragrance of snow water and plum blossoms, and he stuffed it to her as if nothing happened: "I don't know if I bring a good hand stove when I come out, but my hands will be red from the cold." ”
Fu Xin held this small golden hand stove, stunned for a moment, this is a very ordinary style of hand stove, most of the noble clan relatives have this thing.
She felt that her hands were indeed as cold as an ice sculpture at the moment, and touching warm things seemed to be able to turn directly into water, and it seemed that it was not good to stuff them back, and she sighed chaotically in her heart: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
"I've been out for a long time, I'm afraid it's going to attract the attention of others, the concubine is going back to the palace first, and the prince is still going to take care of himself." Fu Xin said goodbye to Hu Zhen without hesitation, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned around and walked away.
Hu Zhen looked at her back, as if he was stunned for a moment, only three points of similarity was enough.
Whisking up the stairs, dragging the heavy court clothes, it seems that the heavy material of the court clothes is more damp because of the snow water, and she feels that her body is not only damp, but also cold, and the small stove in the palm of her hand is the only thing that can transmit body temperature and heat.
