Chapter 003: Chess
An Ge looked at his back and pondered for a long time......
January is fast. The fresh air in the back garden of Yanwangfu is very suitable for Ange to recuperate. As the weather got hotter, the maid named Chunling thoughtfully brought summer clothes to An Ge.
An Ge looked at these dresses, the color was light and the style was simple, but it was in line with her heart. When Chunling saw her put it on, she smiled: "The prince's vision is really good, in the end, the girl is suitable to wear lighter colors." ”
An Ge was stunned. Are all these clothes through the eyes of the Jade Chan? However, due to the hot weather, it is still necessary to choose a replacement one.
"Tomorrow, you're going to leave for the palace." An Ge was wandering in the back garden when he heard the voice of Yuzhan behind him.
Tomorrow? So fast? An Ge turned.
Yuzan's lips pursed, with a hint of mockery: "What's wrong?" But have you been happy with this king? ”
An Ge lowered his head and looked gloomy: "No." I'm on pins and needles here. ”
"In that case, you should hurry up and prepare now." Jade Chan turned sideways and looked at the brocade flowers on the side in front of him.
An Ge sighed in his heart: "Let's ask the prince, what name should I change when I enter the palace?" If you call your real name, if someone else sees it, it won't be good......"
"My distant cousin also happens to be surnamed Yun. You don't have to change your surname, and no one will know your name forever. You're still called Ange. My distant uncle was originally the assassin of Pengzhou in the eternal night. When you enter the palace, someone calls you Miss Yun. At the end, Yuzan added, "You just have to enter the palace with peace of mind." With me in the back, no one will doubt your identity. ”
An Ge couldn't help but sigh: "The prince is really painstaking! Aren't you worried about me, after entering the palace, waiting for the opportunity to kill your father and crown prince? ”
Yuzan smiled firmly: "Yun Ange, you are only suitable for demagoguery, but you don't have the courage to kill." ”
"How do you know? You forget, I've killed people! ”
"It's in Xining, but here it's eternal night. I'm not going to give you a chance. ”
"Then what do you want me to do in the palace?"
Yuzan looked at her face that was red from excitement, and said bluntly: "It's very simple, I want you to bewitch the prince." ”
"And then?" Ange wasn't surprised. In the past month, she was in the palace of King Yan, and she had heard that King Yan and the prince were at odds.
"Girl, don't be in a hurry. You always need to let the prince be tempted by you first. "Jade Chan is secluded.
Early the next morning.
Yuzan ordered people to prepare the carriage early in the palace and wait for Ange in front of the mansion.
At that time, the Yan Wangfu had already determined that this woman who entered the palace to recuperate was Miss Yun, the distant cousin of the prince. Therefore, the whole house is very respectful and courteous to Ange. Chun Ling sent An Ge outside the house. Because they have been together for a month, Chunling also fell in love with this low-key and gentle cousin.
Yuzan was dressed in white, walked quickly, and when she saw Chunling, she ordered her to retreat. Chunling replied in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Miss Biao enters the palace, and she also needs someone to serve her all the way." ”
Yu Zhan said: "This king is on the side, just do it." Chunling glanced at An Ge, and reluctantly bowed and retreated.
"Get in the car. It's time to go. Yu Chan paused, looked at An Ge, who had a simple headdress in front of him, and said, "In the end, when you enter the palace, you don't have a hairpin ring on your body, and it's too simple and casual." ”
"I've never been a fan of that."
Yuzan listened to it quite disapprovingly: "I don't care about this." It's just that you should also dress up the hairpins I sent. ”
An Ge was faint: "The princess of the dead country, how can you be in the mood to pay attention to these?" After all, my father and mother are still alive. ”
Yuzan was silent for a moment, Fang raised his eyebrows and said, "I forgot to tell you." Now the entire land of Xining has been merged into Eternal Night and has become a state. Your father and mother, I have ordered them to be buried. The cemetery is still in your Xining ancestral mausoleum. ”
An Ge's heart swelled with unspeakable emotions. There is sorrow, pain, grief, and indignation...... It's more numb and helpless. Xining is a small country, and its territory is only as large as the state of Yongye. How can you allow others to snore next to the couch? The Emperor of the Eternal Night has been patient enough.
It's just that witnessing the catastrophe of destroying the country and seeing the people closest to him die in horror by his side, An Ge's heart still seems to be turbulent and turbulent. To say that you don't want to restore the country for Xining is a lie. What's more, she also needs to find her younger brother who escaped from the palace and is missing. Now she is just an ant stealing life. Only when you save yourself can you plot for the future.
Thinking of this, An Ge concealed the ups and downs in his heart, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "So, thank you King Yan." ”
Yu Zhan was quite disagreeable: "Yun Ange, this king doesn't need your thanks, this king just wants you to do things for this king." He looked at the silent An Ge and said, "This king knows what is in your heart. If you are obedient, you will get all this later. ”
Yuzan said calmly, but An Ge was shocked when he heard it. An Ge then turned the conversation and said to Yuzan: "Does the prince want me to go back and dress up again?" ”
Yuzan also had no intention of saying deeply: "Forget it." If you want to apply heavy makeup, light also has the benefit of light. ”
An Ge didn't say anything, just followed Yuzan's order and silently stepped into the carriage.
The carriage of Yuzhan is rough and simple on the outside and delicate on the inside. An Ge sat down and found that there was a snack fruit in the car. Next to the desk, there is also a small incense burner, and the incense burner is overflowing with a faint rue incense. It's been a bumpy road, and smelling this rue can also refresh you. As soon as he got into the carriage, An Ge opened the curtain and asked Yuzan next to the car: "How far is the Yanwang Mansion from Eternal Night Kyoto?" ”
Yuzan replied: "The car is about ten miles." "An Ge knows: According to the rules of the Eternal Night Kingdom, an adult prince who has passed the eighteenth year needs to leave the palace and open another mansion. In addition, the crown prince lived in the eastern chamber of the imperial palace, and the palace of Yuzhan was north of Kyoto, and the palace of the third prince, Han Wang Yujun, was south of Kyoto.
An Ge was about to lower the curtain and prepare to close his eyes and take a nap. Unbeknownst to him, Yuzan also lifted the curtain and followed the carriage.
An Ge was shocked: "You...... Why did you get in the car too? ”
Yuzan responded as if nothing happened: "This king is not riding a horse, of course he has to take a carriage!" After Yuzan finished speaking, Tandang sat on her side.
Yuzan was so close in broad daylight, An Ge felt uncomfortable, so he reminded awkwardly: "The prince should ride a horse." ”
"This king's hand was injured a few days ago, and it is not fit to ride a horse."
An Ge beat a drum in his heart. In this way, this ten-mile road, I am afraid that I have to walk side by side with Yuzan.
Seeing her embarrassment, Yu Zhan's face was even more indifferent: "Yun Ange, you don't have to be nervous. We're just in the same car. "Yuzan ordered the coachman to whip his horse.
"In the end, men and women are not kissed."
Yuzan shook his head even more: "Yun Ange, don't forget." You are now my cousin. Cousins and cousins, traveling with a car, there is nothing in the way. ”
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, An Ge had to sigh, stopped talking, lifted the curtain, and looked out of the window.
The atmosphere in the car was just awkward silence.
Seeing that An Ge was only looking out of the car all the way, Yu Zhan deliberately broke the silence: "Yun Ange, this one entered the palace to participate in the palace banquet, and after meeting my father and queen mother, I also want to offer my talents!" Tell me, what will you do? ”
Yun Ange turned his head and asked him, "What do you think I will?" ”
Yu Zhan pondered for a moment, and said, "I know you can play the qin." After that, my heart swelled slightly. The year before last, I entered Xining Palace, and in the silent imperial garden, I heard the sound of An Ge's piano and saw her outstanding appearance, and I have recorded it in my heart since then. Yu Zhan's expression fell into memories again, and he clearly remembered: It was the first year of Xining's peace. He was ordered by his father to send an envoy to Xining, entered the Xining Imperial City, and the cautious Emperor Xining set up a banquet and invited him to the banquet.
It was night, and he was in a good mood. Because of the slight drunkenness, after taking a break, I was reminded that I went to the nearby Imperial Garden for a walk to sober up. Xining is not big, but the palace scenery is excellent. Although it is night, the palace walls are lit up everywhere, as bright as day. When you step into the park, you can see everything inside. It was at the moment when he turned the rockery that Yuzan saw the princess Yun Ange standing in the corner of the rockery burning incense and praying. At that time, Ange was only fifteen years old.
Although Yuzan drank the wine, her steps were still brisk, so she was not alarmed. Under the moonlight, An Ge, dressed in scarlet clothes, folded his hands facing the rockery shadow wall, and silently recited words in his mouth. After burning incense and praying, An Ge bowed a few more times, and ordered the maid to put on the lyre and concentrate on stroking the qin.
Yuzhan is also familiar with the rhythm of music, and after listening to the sound of these strings, it is clear and melodious, and he is also stupid. Yu Chan knows the title of this song "South Wind". He wanted to finish listening and then leave, but unexpectedly, by the tree, somehow, a fat night cat suddenly scurried. The night cat, with its blue eyes, flashed at him. Yuzhan was frightened and let out a low cry from his mouth.
Hearing someone nearby, An Ge couldn't help but be distracted, so he asked "Who is hiding in the dark", but fortunately, Yu Chan flashed quickly, and before An Ge inquired, he had already taken a step ahead, leaving only a vague shadow for her.
At this moment, An Ge was shocked when he saw Yuzan's words. "You...... How do you know I can play the piano? ”
"I say this because I've seen you."
"Where the hell did you see me?"
Yu Zhan looked at her restless eyes, and simply pretended to be frank: "As an envoy of the eternal night, I have entered your Xining Imperial Palace, and I have also seen you in the Imperial Garden. ”
An Ge understood a little in his heart. That time I stroked the piano late at night, thinking about the unclear back in front of the rockery, could it be Yuzan?
Seeing the guess in An Ge's eyes, Yuzan said again: "Your piano skills are very good." I think that when you go to the palace, you will surely arouse the appreciation of my father. You'll stand out. ”
An Ge felt bitter: "No! The prince is wrong, what I deserve is the prince's appreciation. At that time, the carriage and horse were crossing a steep slope, and An Ge stumbled and leaned on Yu Zhan.
Yuzan helped her.
