Legend has it that in the Heian period of Japan, it was a time when humans and yokai lived together. At that time, the streets of Kyoto were deserted at night, and all kinds of strange yokai would appear one after another, roaming the streets like a temple fair...... (Department. The column quotes the prototype in "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking", a story written in the air, and the background is ancient China)

Hyakki Night Walk の Nagabe Hime

Nagabehime has always lived in the attic of the castle and meets with the lord of the castle every year to inform him of the castle's fate. It is said that she was a white-haired woman dressed in fine clothes, but some say that she was a fairy-like beauty and a princess in the past.

The Miyagi regiment returned to the strict light, and the day was broken and fell into Qiongfang.

But I didn't want to enjoy the romantic snow scene outside the window, and frowned at the queen mother. The sky is cold, and the winter is so long that it is like a kite spool in your hand, and there is no time to finish.

The queen mother continued to sip the fragrant tea in the jade cup: "It's cold, you go back first." ”

"Aren't you mourning yet?" My voice was dark, like a faint sigh like snow falling on the ground.

"Of course." The queen mother's voice was calm and without a trace of affection.

When I returned to the East Palace, I saw a pale blue figure under the corridor, and the waiter next to him muttered: "What a little demon (elf) who can meet you, but she looks like a fairy." ”

Twilight Snow is not stunning, the reason why she looks like a fairy is because she is cold, cold as frost and light as clouds. On the day I met her, she was kneeling on the edge of the stairs, and the snowflakes were almost covering her thin body, but she was still kneeling there with a pale face and a cold gaze. There was no flattering smile, no bitter pleading, just a faint explanation, and she begged me to send a doctor to treat the imperial brother.

The biological mother of the emperor's brother Xuanyuan Ming was executed for the crime of deceiving the emperor twenty years ago, and he was adopted by the queen mother as the only son of his father, but after I was born, the queen mother drove him to a remote and desolate cold palace, and has not been ignored ever since. Another person whose fate was rewritten by me, I sighed, and hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to go over for diagnosis and treatment, but fortunately, the imperial brother recovered from his illness half a month later, and led Duxue to thank him.

"If the prince doesn't dislike it, leave Twilight Snow to call." The royal brother gave me Twilight, turned back to her and smiled bitterly: "I saved your life, and you also gave me my life, now we don't owe each other, you don't have to bury your years with me in the cold palace." ”

Twilight nodded slightly, her eyes as light as water did not show any regret, she only looked at the back of the imperial brother who was gradually moving away, and said softly: "Take care." ”

I left Twilight Snow in the study, which naturally caused Wan Yue's dissatisfaction, and she insisted on sending Twilight back to the cold palace, and the officials also said that the imperial brother suddenly sent a palace maid over with ulterior motives. Twilight stood by the door, stroking the carved rosewood door with her hands behind her back, her relaxed expression seemed to be waiting for me to open her mouth to send her off, and I glanced at her, "Don't say any more, I'm determined to let her stay." ”

I did everything by Wan Yue, but this time I left a palace maid despite her obstruction, everyone was very surprised, and Wan Yue was so angry that she broke the agate cup in her hand. But the fire of a year ago had made me even more silent, and she knew that it would be useless to talk more, so she had to pout and go back to the bedchamber.

The next day, Twilight's story spread throughout the East Palace, and even I was amazed by the amazing story. They say that Twilight was dug up by the royal brother from a mass grave at the back of the cold palace.

He was still an infant when his biological mother was executed, so he did not know the day of sacrifice and the place where he was buried, so he often went to the barren mountain behind the cold palace to worship, because the palace people who died would be thrown there. One night, he was drinking on the mountain to kill his sorrows, when he saw a pale hand stretched out from the bone-strewn dirt. Twilight was pulled back from the ghost gate by the royal brother, but she had forgotten her past, and only the coldness in her bones woke up with her.

"You're back." Twilight interrupted my memories, and after more than a month of getting along, the coldness in her eyes did not retreat, but there was also a ray of warmth.

"Hmm." I reached out to brush the snow chips from her forehead, and my heart swelled with inexplicable pain.

"Did you leave me because of a woman named Qin Wu?"

The sudden question made me speechless, I looked at her in astonishment, but she smiled faintly: "I didn't want to talk much, but Manager Xu often looked at me, and I heard him talk behind his back more than once, saying, 'What is it like?' ’”

Indeed, I left Twilight Snow precisely because of Qin Wu. Wan Yue and Mr. Xu must also have some suspicions, but they can't be sure, because the appearance of Duxue and Qin Wu is not similar, but those eyes are a little similar, but one is cold and the other is warm, and they are still two people with different temperaments.

I silently returned to my study and motioned for Twilight to close the doors and windows, and the room fell into darkness. Twilight handed me a cup of tea, and the past came to me like smoke from the rising tea.

"It's been almost a year since Qin Wu died, and no one in the palace is allowed to mention her, so if you ask about it today, I'll tell you."

On the day I was born, the national teacher died because of me.

Every few decades, there will be a princess of ice and snow in the Xiao Kingdom, who has innate spiritual power, not only to determine good luck and evil, but also to spy on the destiny of heaven. When they became adults, they were named national teachers, and they lived in the highest Qiong Tower in the palace, Biluo Pavilion, to measure the celestial phenomena in order to increase (national) fortune. It's a pity that in the past hundred years, the (national) strength has gradually declined, and the national teacher at that time has been dying, if there is no princess to inherit, the future of Xiao Guo is worrying.

Two months before I was born, it was snowing every day in the Imperial City, and people were looking forward to the birth of the next national teacher, but I was a boy. When the elderly national teacher learned of my birth, she immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, fell on the rooftop, and uttered the last words of her life: "The Snow Princess has been stolen ......"

Compared with everyone's disappointment, the queen mother is very happy, she is a realistic woman, she feels that what she holds in her hand is real, the legendary spiritual power and supernatural powers are just ethereal dreams, and the meaning of the crown prince is far more important to her than the snow princess. But I can't be as relieved as her, I always feel that the sky of the Sky Kingdom has become so gloomy because of me.

I was sick from a young age, and when I was 14 years old, I was bedridden for several months because of the delusion of drowsiness and dreams. Qin Wu appeared in my life at this time.

Qin Wu is the daughter of Qin Hu, the general who protects the country, and her fate is very similar to mine, but she is even more tragic than me.

The Qin clan is still martial and talented, and the emperors and princes of all dynasties have a Qin man with strong martial arts as a personal guard, so as to safely escape countless assassinations. It's a pity that the Qin family's court is also weakening day by day like the (national) strength of Xiao Kingdom, and Qin Hu has no male heir under his knees, only Qin Wu has a daughter. Qin Wu's mother died of illness shortly after she was born, and Qin Hu accused her of being an ominous person and ordered her to live in a corner of the General's Mansion, which had the intention of leaving her to fend for herself.

Seeing that I was sick in bed for a long time, my father remembered the Qin family's tradition of protecting dragons, so he summoned Qin Wu into the palace to be my companion. The queen mother was very reluctant, she liked Wanyue from her uncle's family, and Qin Hu also postponed it again and again, saying that Qin Wu's life was hard and I was afraid that she would defeat me, but my father still insisted on summoning her into the palace.

It is said that the father was also a little hesitant, but after seeing Qin Wu, he dispelled all his concerns. Manager Xu hurriedly came to report, saying that his father praised Qin Wu and praised her like a fairy who came out of Luoshui.

"Hmph, I don't get angry when I hear the name, Qin Wu, it's 'ruthless' upside down, such a decaying name, it seems that Qin Hu is disgusted with her enough." The queen mother's face sank.

Manager Xu hurriedly smiled: "Yes, she and Miss Wanyue are incomparable, and her thin appearance is blissful at first glance." ”

The queen mother turned her head, and even in the drowsiness, I could still feel the firmness in her eyes: "You must know that the woman you hit is Wanyue, and the rest of the women except her are all smoke clouds. ”

I nodded slightly, closing my eyes and saying nothing.

I didn't see Qin Wu until after the palm lamp. The queen mother thought she was unlucky, and ordered her to bathe in the pomelo leaf water for an hour, and she would do so every day from now on. As soon as she walked into the dormitory, I smelled the bitter aroma of pomelo leaves, and for some reason, my heart was inexplicably sour.

Qin Wu walked to the couch lightly, and put the slightly cool soft wattle on the back of my hand: "Your Highness, don't worry, you will be fine." ”

Qingling's voice shook in my ears like a clear stream in the mountains, and I opened my eyes to meet her concerned gaze. The corners of her lips were lifted lightly, like pear blossoms blooming, and her beautiful eyes were like the misty water of the lake in the early morning, covered with a layer of warm soft light, so that I could no longer take my eyes off.
