Both were silent.

The candles are dim and the figures are flickering.

I saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind outside the window was getting louder and louder.

"Wen Gongzi should go back early." Nian Qingqing's eyes were cold, and her plain white fingers plucked the pipa, and the strings were already a little cold.

"What are you...... Drive me away? Wen Jue asked with a smile.

"Don't dare...... Jin Xianglou does not have this rule, Qingqing always remembers his identity. She lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.

He knew in his heart that she was blaming him for saying such imprudent words as "redeeming himself" just now.

Although he had the intention to do so, it seemed that it was not appropriate at the moment. Of course, Wen Jue knew that she was a woman who looked weak and helpless, but she was born stubborn in her bones.

She didn't want to, and he naturally didn't force it anymore.

I annoyed her today, I'm afraid I won't be able to hear good tunes, he is not interested in the things next to him, and it will be boring to stay.

"Then I'll come back to see you another day." He got up, took the snow fox cloak, pushed open the door, and walked out.

She looked at the back of him leaving, and suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness in her heart. The cold wind poured into the house from the small window, and the words she said just now seemed to mean that she didn't know what to do, what was her identity, and someone was willing to ransom her out, why was she unwilling?

He sighed softly and looked at the box on the table. When I walked over and opened it, I saw a pair of small and delicate red bead earrings.

Someone pushed the door open, and she hurriedly put her things away.

"Sister, why did the young master of the Wen family leave?"

This person's name is Hong Jing, and he is the leader of Jinxiang Building, and he takes good care of her on weekdays, and they have always been commensurate with brother and sister.

She lazily responded, "It's nothing, it's a Lantern Festival today, and people naturally want to go back to accompany their families earlier." ”。

Although she said this, Hong Jing was still a little puzzled, but he didn't plan to ask any further, just said, "That's right, then you clean up first, come downstairs, someone wants to see you." ”

"Anyone else wants to see me? Who is it? She asked.

Hong Jing thought for a while and said, "You'll know when you come, I don't know who they are, I only know one, Feng You Gongzi, and the people next to him are probably also his friends, the strange thing is that there is a girl among them, they have been waiting for a while, you hurry up." ”

"Okay, I'll be right there......" she replied.

Hong Jing gave a few words and left.

She cleaned up and took the box sent by Wen Jue back to her boudoir. Before she went, she was still thinking carefully, this Feng You is a wealthy family and a **** prodigal, naturally he also likes to come to Jinxianglou, but he is a frequent visitor. It's just that he never looked for her, but he met from afar. Listening to what Hong Jing said, he also brought his friends, one of whom was still a woman, and brought the girl to the Qinglou? Unheard-of......

In a moment, she had arrived, and she raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

When the door opened, I saw two men and one woman in the room.

Feng Yougongzi, who opened the door, was more amiable than expected, he finally gave a smile, but the other man in black was expressionless, drinking tea by himself, and didn't look at her. But one of them, the woman in Tsing Yi stood up with a smile and smiled at her, "Miss Nian hasn't seen you for a long time......

Long time no see? In her impression, she had never seen this girl in Tsing Yi. Where does the saying "long time no see"?

"Shu Qingqing is clumsy, the girl is ......"

Wen Jue's carriage drove across the stone bridge at night.

The wind and snow were so heavy that I had to send someone to drive the carriage. He sat in the carriage and lifted the curtains, and saw many people putting river lanterns along the river. The wind by the river is cold and biting, but in order to have a good fortune for the coming year, people also have to go to the lively and release river lanterns.

His inky eyes were looking at the small paper lamp, which floated into the darkness in the distance along the river, becoming a little light. People laughed very festively, and the laughter came from afar, which showed how happy they were in their hearts.

"Childe, Xueda, put the curtain down, you've been sick for the past few days, so don't get into trouble anymore." The person who spoke was Xiao Tang, his personal attendant, who grew up with Wen Jue since he was a child, but Wen Jue never regarded him as a person, but as a brother.

Wen Jue smiled heartily and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a little happier to look at those people like this." He paused, and then said, "Yang'er has already entered the palace with his father today?" ”

"The people in Xiuyuan Tai came to report that when the third lady went, she had to wait for the son to go with you, but the master was afraid of delaying the time, so he had already gone first......"

He hooked his lips and smiled, and said very happily: "I don't want to go at all, there are so many rules in the palace, and going once is enough for me." Pity...... There is no Yang'er in this Lantern Festival, I can't make trouble with her, there is a lot of fun, and there are only you and me left at this reunion dinner. ”

Xiao Tang naturally understood the meaning, and laughed heartily, "Then I will have a good drink with my son tonight!" ”

"Knowing me is as good as Tang Zhiye!"

In the palace

The chips are staggered, and the aroma of wine is entwined. The beautiful dancers danced, and the pavilions and pavilions shrouded in the moonlight were like heaven...... The seats were full of friends, and the guests gathered, most of whom were officials in the court, and they talked happily to each other.

However, Wen Yang and Wen Yuan's father and daughter seem to be very neglected, nothing more than because the Wen family once made the emperor jealous, and most of the officials who had close contacts with the Wen family back then resigned and returned to their hometowns, and the new ones did not want to have more to do with the Wen family.

Wen Yuan smiled faintly, poured the wine to the brim, and drank it all.

"Would you like to have a glass of wine from me?" The voice of the person who came was deep and low, and Wen Yuan raised his eyes to see that it was Shen Zhilie, a famous general in the DPRK today! This person became a general of the Three Dynasties, nearly eighty years old, with a half-white beard, but he was energetic and imposing like a tiger.

The war between the imperial court and the Xiongnu has been pacified for many years, and Shen Zhilie's family has made great contributions, and now they are hot in the imperial court.

Wen Yuan got up to salute, flattered, and said with a smile, "The general invites wine, it is an honor for the juniors, how can it not be honored?" After speaking, he took Shen Zhilie's wine glass, and the two drank it all.

Shen Zhilie recalled the past, full of feelings, and sighed: "Your father has been friends with me for many years, but the Wen family made a lot of meritorious contributions but was suppressed. ”

Wen Yuan also sighed: "Although the Wen family has declined, my father does not regret it, and the Wen family is now more comfortable with the king. ”

"I think your father has been gone for more than 20 years, and I have been away from Beijing for many years, I remember that when you were just born, I had to hug you once, eat your full moon wine once, and so many years have passed."

"My father often mentioned the general when he was alive, talked about the deeds with the general when he was young, and often thought about when he could meet the general, but he also understood that the general was responsible for guaranteeing the family and protecting the country, but this friendship my father would not forget ......"

Shen Zhilie thought about this, and said sadly: "We have exchanged a lot of letters over the years, but when he left, it was the enemy of the Huns who came to attack, but he couldn't send him, and he couldn't regret it!" ”

Wen Yuan comforted: "The general doesn't have to be sad! ”

Shen Zhilie became excited, a pair of big calloused hands holding Wen Yuan's hand with a pair of dancing knives and swinging swords, and the old tears were rampant, "After a few days, I will go to see Brother Ruyun!" Go to the unfulfilled covenant of the year......"

Seeing that his father's deceased was still thinking about the love of the year, Wen Yuan was very moved, and after saying words of relief for a long time, Shen Zhilie gradually calmed down. When he raised his eyes and saw a little girl on the side, he asked, "Isn't this a child of the Wen family?" ”

Wen Yuan looked at Wen Yang, who was well-behaved and silent, "This is my youngest daughter Wen Yang." As he spoke, he pulled Wen Yang to Shen Zhilie and said softly, "This is Grandpa Shen......"

Wen Yang was very sensible, knelt down and kowtowed, "Wen Yang has seen Grandpa Shen, please say hello to Grandpa Shen." ”

Shen Zhilie helped her up, and saw that the little person in front of him was smart, his eyes were clean and clear, and he was very polite, so he praised: "Good, good...... is worthy of being a child of the Wen family, a good child who is sensible! ”

Wen Yang just heard Shen Zhilie's words on the side, and he also admired this old man who valued love and righteousness very much, so he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Shen Zhilie's face, and said: "Grandpa Shen doesn't have to be sad, grandpa and Grandpa Shen are both people who value love and righteousness, and my grandfather will remember Grandpa Shen in the sky, you must take care of your health." ”

Shen Zhilie was deeply moved, and suddenly loved this child of the Wen family very much, so he said: "Grandpa Shen has been outside the Saiwai before, but now he has settled down when he returns to Beijing, is the girl willing to come to Grandpa Shen's house often to play?" ”

Wen Yang smiled, innocent: "I will definitely visit Grandpa Shen often!" ”

Shen Zhilie also smiled.

Gradually, someone came to toast him, and felt that it was inconvenient to say many things on such an occasion, so he stood up and said to Wen Yuan that he would visit him when he had free time, and left.

As soon as the banquet was over, the night was late.

The fine wine has already drunk many people, but they still have to stay to enjoy the rare singing and dancing opera in the palace.

Wen Yang held his little head and sighed, looking very bored.

The drama on the stage in this palace sang "babbling", she didn't know where it was good-looking, but there were two juggling scenes that were interesting, and she wanted to applaud and shout "good" twice, but the concubines and princesses on the side looked very dignified, so she endured it.

Bored...... So boring......

If the second brother came with him, at least there would be someone who could talk, but the second brother always abandoned her, and he didn't take her with him when he secretly went out to play today, if he could think more about how boring his sister would be sitting here now, why would she slander him here.

Thinking like this, she was very unhappy, and she had nothing to do, so she peeled a few peanuts and melon seeds on the table. Daddy watched the play with relish on the sidelines, and didn't notice that she couldn't sit still.

This is the first time she has come to the palace, and the usual royal banquets are when her father comes alone. This time, she wanted to see her eldest sister's current situation, so she begged her father to agree to take her to the banquet.

The stage is built in the middle of the river, on the other side of the river is the heavenly home, and here is the civil and military officials.

She looked to the other side in boredom, wanting to see her eldest sister and see the true face of the Son of Heaven.

She saw at a glance that it was the most conspicuous woman in the crowd, dignified and noble, with exquisite makeup, elegant and noble gestures, and even the pearls on her head were not as bright as hers.

She's so pretty......

Thinking of the appearance of the eldest sister before she became the crown princess, she was also a very innocent and lively woman at that time, and she could often be heard picking flowers and singing in the garden of Xiuyuantai, knowing everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and often loving to be naughty and playful with her. In the past few years, the eldest sister has lost the childishness of her youth, and her temperament has become graceful and luxurious, but she doesn't look as close and lovely as when she was in Xiuyuantai.

The rules in the palace are that the royal family celebrates the Lantern Festival with their courtiers once every five years. Although my father is not a courtier, my sister has become the crown princess, so they have to come at the kind invitation of the heavenly family. Besides, after my sister became the crown princess, she couldn't see each other often, and she was willing to have the opportunity to meet her sister.

But the palace is really boring, she can't imagine that these people in the palace have to face these bricks and tiles every day, although the imperial city is really big, but all the life to walk the same road, touch the same bricks, see the same people, how lonely it should be......

Thinking about it this way, as the eldest sister of the crown princess, she must be very restrained...... After all, she is different from these princesses, she has seen the outside world, knows that there are benefits outside that are not in the palace, and has seen the scenery far away from the palace. But now she is like those concubines and princesses, she will be trapped here all her life, presumably ...... It's very uncomfortable.

The crown princess, what a noble identity, others just think of her as being in the clouds, not eating the fireworks of the world, drinking the elixir and jade dew, and eating the dragon liver and phoenix pith. But now she thinks it's not all good.

Wen Jin felt that there was a gaze looking at her, and when she looked closely, it was her own sister who was looking at her stupidly.

Although she wanted to go down and say a few words to her sister and father, she was inconvenient to go because of the emperor and the crown prince by her side, as well as her own identity. So she nodded lightly at Wen Yang and smiled slightly.

Wen Yang looked at his sister and saw herself, she was overjoyed, and returned her an innocent smile.

At this time, I saw someone attached to my sister and said something, and a trace of panic immediately slipped through her expression, but she returned to her original appearance in an instant. She got up and hurried away, without even looking back at Wen Yang.

Wen Yang watched her sister leave suddenly, a little puzzled, she gently tugged at the corner of her father's sleeve beside her.

"Daddy, my sister is gone."

Wen Yuan looked at the high platform, saw Wen Jin's back leaving, and said softly, "Your sister is naturally busy now that she has become the crown princess, don't worry, if you want to see her, you can go directly to her tomorrow." ”

"Is it to go to the place where my sister lives in the palace? Can I go to her now? ”

Wen Yuan smiled and touched the top of her head, "It's rare for you sisters to see each other, your sister wants you to live in the palace for a few days this time, and Miss Yang'er can go to your sister every day these days." "

Wen Yang clapped his hands happily and said, "Great! Then I'll go find her tomorrow! ”
