Chapter Twenty-Three
Ji Yue stood still, and found herself in an exquisite water pavilion.
It's winter, the lake under the pavilion is covered with thick ice, and the plum blossoms on the shore seem to be the only color in this snow-capped world.
"Second Miss, come back with me! Wait a minute, Madame will find out that you have sneaked out, and you should be blamed again! A woman's shout suddenly came from behind her, mixed with the innocent and clear laughter of a child, causing Ji Yue to turn around.
What a porcelain doll carved in pink!
I saw a little girl wrapped in a thick pink plush cloak running up to the water pavilion, running straight through Ji Yue's body to the edge of the pavilion. The little girl was only about five or six years old, but her face was stunning, and her eyes seemed to be as moving as if they had gathered all the beauty in the world. However, at this time, her small body was not much taller than the seat in the pavilion, not to mention that the clothes she was wearing at this time wrapped herself like a ball.
"Second Miss, my little ancestor, be careful!" The middle-aged woman chasing behind looked at the girl clumsily and wanted to climb onto the chair in horror, and hurriedly chased two steps through Ji Yue's body and ran over to hold the girl in her arms.
"Nurse! Rock candy! It's so big~ a piece! After the little porcelain doll was picked up, her vision was much broader, and she looked excitedly at the frozen lake, the white expanse was smooth and flat, and her clear eyes flashed with surprise and joy. As she spoke, she raised her hand, and her thickly wrapped arms lifted up with difficulty to make a hugging motion, to show how big it was.
"Hey, little fool, that's not rock candy, it's ice made of water." Another immature voice sounded, with a thick sense of ridicule and jealousy, but the nurse holding the girl hurriedly turned around and bowed,
"I've seen the eldest lady."
It is rumored that the second daughter of Liu Wenjing, the first assistant of the cabinet, is only five years old, and her appearance can be called stunning. And this woman is smart and clever, and she is deeply loved by Liu Wenjing.
For this reason, the eldest sister, the 3-year-old Miss Liufu, has always been very disgusted with this sister, and always opposes it and does not miss any opportunity.
Ji Yue had already seen that this was just a video, probably from the memory of the "aunt" in Xiaojie's mouth.
The scene suddenly stalled as if it had been paused, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into green smoke and shrouded the moon. When the smoke clears, the scene that reappears in front of you becomes a bustling light market.
Lanterns are hung high on both sides of the wide streets under the roots of the imperial city, and the colorful lanterns of various shapes and colors are dazzling, which reduces the chill of this New Year.
The vendors shouted and sold their wares, the faces of the passers-by were full of laughter, and many learned people gathered together to guess the riddles.
Ji Yue stood in the middle of this light market, looking at the scene that she had not personally experienced, standing with her hands in her hands, and watching coldly.
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, and it turned out to be a pair of beautiful people walking towards them. The man, dressed in white and cloaked, was very personable, ignoring the noise of the market, but putting all his attention on the woman who was next to him. And the woman, with a light veil on her face, only showed a pair of eyes, but the person who saw it couldn't take her eyes off it at all.
What kind of eyes are that. It's clear and moving, and it seems to gather all the good things in the world...
Passers-by are offering their blessings to this heaven-made couple.
Ji Yue was still dark and indifferent, and the scene of another sudden change did not cause her to fluctuate in the slightest.
This time it's not as good as the previous version.
In the new house, a woman wearing a red wedding dress and a hijab sat quietly on the side of the bed, faintly hearing the bustle of the front hall in her ears, and waiting for her lover's arrival with infinite sweetness in her heart.
Bang Dang –
The door was pushed open, and a cool breeze blew in with a faint smell of wine, making the woman look up in surprise.
"Husband..."
Before the words fell, the hijab was suddenly lifted, and the woman's stunning face was exposed to the air. The already heavenly appearance was painted with red makeup at this time, which made the man who had long been accustomed to her appearance couldn't help but be in a trance, but then what followed was an even stronger anger.
"Husband..."
"Don't call me husband! I'm not your husband! The man in the wedding dress suddenly burst into rage and threw the red hijab he was holding in his hand to the ground! Under the woman's incredulous gaze, he strode to the desk to write a letter, threw it directly on the ground in front of the woman, and strode out the door. Before going out, he finally turned his head and glanced deeply at the woman, with anger, unwillingness, disgust and unbearability in his eyes, as well as the deep hidden affection that the woman did not see.
"In the future, you can call me the prince or brother-in-law, and you and I have nothing to do with anything else." Desperate to leave.
"Brother-in-law......?"
The cold wind outside the door poured in and blew on the woman's thin body.
With trembling hands, she picked up the paper on the ground that had not yet dried the ink, and the word Hushu poked straight into her heart.
"Yo, even if my beautiful sister is sad, she is still beautiful." A familiar voice came, and the woman looked up to see a beautiful woman leaning against the door, looking at her embarrassed figure with mockery and teasing.
"Big sister..."
"My good sister, you can't be called the eldest sister in the future, you must have rules to behave, and when you see you in the future, you need to bow to me and respectfully call me the princess." The woman raised her chin high, condescendingly admiring this sister who had pressed her head since she was a child, and her heart was full of pleasure of revenge. "What about the country and the city? What about the unparalleled talent? In the end, the position of the crown princess is not mine, and your dear prince brother is not going to marry your own sister me, huh? ”
Seeing the woman kneeling on the ground looking at her with tears streaming down her face, shocked and desperate, the beautiful woman smiled even happier.
"Don't you get it yet? It seems that you are really ignorant, so I'll just warn you. "The woman blew on her nails." How do you think your nurse died? And why did the brother of the third room who was closest to you drown? Include... Why did our father, the father who doted on you, suddenly fall seriously ill and be bedridden when he was in good health? ”
Every time the glamorous woman said a word, the woman sitting on the ground looked even more desperate, and in the end her expression was already blank.
Before it was enjoyable, the glamorous woman continued: "How much your prince brother used to love you, you two are a match made in heaven in the eyes of many people, but what about this relationship?" I easily forged a letter about your fornication with someone else, and it disintegrated. The corners of his lips hooked up into a sneer, and his tone became more intense and even a little crazy. It's a pity that you didn't get to see with your own eyes the look on the faces of the people when the prince picked out the handkerchief from the sleeve of his best brother, which you never left his body. ”
At this time, the big red wedding dress seemed to have become the biggest mockery, and the woman's clean and beautiful eyes completely turned into a dead silence.
"You know, the last thing I could look at was your eyes! Obviously this world is so dirty, but you have such clear eyes! I've wanted to destroy it with my own hands for a long time, and today I got my wish. ”
"At this moment, the news that Miss Liu Fu's second lady was divorced by her husband on the wedding night may have spread all over the imperial city."
No longer glancing at her own sister, the beautiful woman left laughing at the last sentence.
"Finally, I'll tell you one more thing, I've long been the prince's person, and your so-called 'weak water 3,000 only take one scoop' lover is not as single-minded as he said......"
Why...
The woman who was kneeling on the ground could not come back to her senses. She didn't know why her long-awaited wedding had turned out to be like this, why her sister, whom she had always respected, hated her so much, why the man who said he would protect her for the rest of her life would distrust her and betray her, why!
Suddenly a thunderbolt was drawn outside the window, the woman grabbed the placket of her chest and looked pale, and took out a purse from her sleeve with difficulty and sniffed it lightly, the faint fragrance of agarwood slightly relieved her unsteady breathing, and only after a while did she get up and sit in front of the dresser.
Ji Yue, who witnessed the whole process, was no stranger to this dresser, it was the one in Yao Annie's room, but at this time, the bronze mirror was not engraved with dense soul-calming spells.
The face of the woman in the bronze mirror was pale, but she was still so moving. She stretched out her white fingers and gently traced her face in the mirror for a long time.
Early in the morning of the second day, the news that Miss Liu Fuer, who is known as the first beauty and talented woman, was divorced on the day of her wedding to the prince and committed suicide by hanging from the beam is well known. Liu Wenjing, the first assistant of the cabinet who lost his beloved daughter, also passed away within two days. It's just that for some reason, the marriage between the prince and the eldest lady of the Liu Mansion failed to take shape in the end.
The wedding room was later completely vacant, but the facilities inside were well preserved. Ten years later, a family bought the house and opened the room again, and the dresser was kept because it was too delicately made. The strange thing is that the women who looked in that mirror became insane, saying that there was a person living in the mirror, a very beautiful woman.
Later, the monk invited a monk, who looked at the mirror for a long time and said that there was the soul of a disgruntled woman, but he did not have the ability to surpass her, so he carved a soul-calming spell around the bronze mirror to suppress the resentful spirit.
The dresser was then sealed in a utility room and left unattended, but over time it was not damaged at all, only dust.
Ji Yue watched these three scenes indifferently and was not moved at all. The scene stays in the corner of the utility room, like an end of a projection tape.
I closed my eyes gently, and when I opened them again, they were back to their original appearance! The brilliance in her eyes flickered with stars, and everything in front of her suddenly cracked like a mirror, falling little by little. The scene of memories crumbles.
Ji Yue found herself in a gray world, surrounded by nothing but an endless void.
He took out a pen-like short stick in his hand, entered spiritual power and threw it to the ground! A white whip of light instantly extended from the tip of the short rod and "snapped" to the ground.
Sensing an object approaching behind her, she silently turned around and looked up at the man.
"General Hidden Wind?!"
The woman in red suddenly screamed in surprise the moment she saw Ji Yue's eyes, with great horror.
