The last time Xia Guan said, the painter dreamed of the girl in the painting every night, this girl was like a loved one, often accompanied him, the painter gradually lost his mind, did not want to paint anymore, every day drunk, just want to fall asleep quickly, so that he can continue to eat tea and drink with the girl, and talk freely. ”

Su Ying said: "This doesn't seem to be a good sign, but what about later?" ”

Ye Jingzhi continued: "The painter's neighbors didn't pay attention to it at first, but after more than half a year, they finally noticed that the painter hadn't gone out for a long time, thinking that he might be sick and couldn't get up, so they kicked open the door of the painter's house together. I saw that the room was in a mess, and there were empty wine jars everywhere, and the painter was holding the portrait with his eyes glazed over, and his eyebrows were smiling, as if he were crazy. ”

Well, the painter who is obsessed with portraits is himself enchanted, and this is about a ghost story. Telling ghost stories on Chinese New Year's Eve night, this Mr. Ye has a good taste...... It's heavier, but it's also in line with her heart. Su Ying saw that Yun Luo standing next to her could listen attentively, and wanted to scare her, so she sneaked close and blew softly in her ear.

"......" Yun Luo was a little helpless, and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, the slave maid grew up watching strange chatters with you since she was a child, and this trick doesn't seem to be useful now." ”

Su Ying glared at her confidently: "Can't you just make a show and match the atmosphere of the ghost story?" Looking at Ye Jingzhi: "Mr. Ye continued, isn't it time to invite a Taoist priest next?" ”

A fleeting smile flashed on Ye Jingzhi's face: "The Queen Mother is clear." The neighbors did invite a Taoist priest to come, and the Taoist priest pasted a talisman to the painter, and he came to his senses a little, and was shocked to realize that he had been completely manipulated by a painting for more than half a year. ”

Yun Luo asked, "What happened later?" ”

"Later." Ye Jingzhi glanced at Su Ying without a trace, and said in a low voice: "The painter hesitated for a long time, because he was really afraid of being as lonely as before, and he didn't want to indulge in painting all day long, and he was depressed. ”

Su Ying said softly: "What about that girl?" ”

"It's just a portrait, it's a fake."

Su Ying disagreed: "You also said that with the girl in the painting, this painter is not alone." Were the joyful days they spent together also false? ”

Ye Jingzhi: "Xia Guan thought that it was probably because the painter felt that the price to be paid for these joys was too great, and he knew that he couldn't indulge in the painting, so he burned the painting so resolutely." ”

No matter how much you like it, it's just a vanity that will lose people's hearts, and if you indulge in it and can't extricate yourself, you will only end up bruised.

Su Ying sat quietly by the Taiye Pool, the lotus lamp in her hand emitted a warm light, she couldn't help but reach out to touch the small candle flame, as soon as she touched the fingertips of the fire tongue, her heart ached.

She had grown to the age of seventeen, and she had always been windy and rainy, and this was about the first time she longed for something so much, but this one was the other side that she could never reach.

"You're right." The corners of Su Jin's lips opened a trance-like smile: "Then later, this painter must have returned to normal, and his life has been safe since then." ”

Ye Jingzhi was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "What the Queen Mother said is true." ”

The cold air by the water is very heavy, and the coolness seems to poke into people's hearts with a piercing force. Su Ying blew out the lotus lamp in her hand, raised her head slightly, and forced the thin layer of water vapor in her eyes back to her eyes, and then stood up: "Mr. Ye said this story is very good, if you have the opportunity in the future, tell me a few more stories." ”

Ye Jingzhi secretly glanced at her through the light, and bowed deeply: "Thank you Queen Mother for your love." Seeing that she shivered slightly, she hesitated for a moment, but still held the big coat she was wearing in front of her with both hands: "It's cold at night, please take a moment." ”

There was a sudden cough behind him, and Su Ying looked back and saw that it was Pei Zhao. He didn't know when he was standing there, he couldn't see any expression on his face, and the Tong He beside him lowered his eyebrows and asked her to say goodbye.

Ye Jingzhi saw Pei Zhao hurriedly lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down to salute, Pei Zhao didn't even look at it, and walked straight to Su Yin, Su Ying asked, "Why did you come out?" ”

Pei Zhao said lightly: "The feast is all dispersed. ”

Has she been out for so long? Su Ying smiled apologetically at Pei Zhao: "I'm sorry, I've been out for too long." Seeing that Ye Jingzhi was still kneeling on the ground, he said, "Mr. Ye, get up quickly, it's very cold on the ground." ”

Pei Zhao glanced at Ye Jing with a cold expression, and the corners of his mouth sank slightly: "Ye Qing is also here?" No wonder no one has come to receive my reward. ”

Ye Jingzhi's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knelt down again and kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Why did I punish you?" The corners of Pei Zhao's lips were slightly curved, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You follow Tong He to receive the reward." ”

Tong He accompanied Ye Jingzhi to the Taihe Palace, Su Ying saw Pei Zhao's cold expression, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Don't blame Mr. Ye, I have to ask him to tell me a story, which delays time, you ...... But are you annoyed? ”

Pei Zhao said lightly: "No, you just said that he told you a story, what kind of story, do you like to listen to it?" ”

Su Ying was extremely sad in her heart, but she still smiled reluctantly: "It's funny." By the way, what about the dancing beauty? Is she a Turkic princess? ”

Pei Zhao nodded slightly and said, "She is the younger sister of the Evil Khan, what do you ask her to do?" ”

Asked her, of course, to know if Pei Zhou had included her in the harem, but she couldn't say this, so Su Ying thought about it and said perfunctorily: "I think the song she dances is very good, so I just ask." ”

"If you like it, I'll teach her to play it to you in the future." Pei Zhao didn't care: "Anyway, I have already made her a beauty, and if I feel bored in the future, I will send her to relieve your boredom." ”

He said this lightly, but it was like a cold wind blowing from his face, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of snow, Su Ying rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and smiled at Pei Zhao: "Congratulations." ”

Pei Zhao was a little surprised: "Congratulations to me?" ”

"Naturally, congratulations on getting a new beauty." Although Su Ying has been squeamish since she was a child, she is a very stubborn person in her bones, and she never wants others to see her embarrassed. When she was a child, the fifth brother was ignorant and always bullied her, no matter how wronged she was, she didn't want to cry in front of the fifth brother, and it was the same now.

Pei Zhao is the emperor, and it is natural to accept as many concubines as possible. There is such a huge difference between her and his identity, there is no possibility at all, and Pei Zhao has already had a sweetheart, so who will her tears flow to?

The crying appearance is the ugliest, she is already very sad, and she must not teach Pei Zhao to see her ugly appearance.

There was a sudden "bang" in the air, and Su Yu raised his head, it turned out to be Chinese New Year's Eve fireworks. I saw the brilliance in front of me, as if I had overturned the jewelry box, and the gold and silver were splashed with a calyx red, ten thousand years of spring, New Year's joy and other patterns. Whenever the fireworks are lit, half of the sky is as bright as day, and when the fireworks are dimmed, there is only a faint light left, Pei Zhao's face is hidden in this flickering light, looking very close, but Su Ying knows very well in her heart that she will never be able to touch it.

This year's fireworks have many more tricks than before, but she lacks interest and doesn't have the slightest heart to appreciate it, and she wants to say goodbye to Pei Zhao, but Pei Zhao speaks one step ahead of her: "I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Where to go?"

Pei Zhao smiled faintly and did not speak, but gently pulled Su Ying and hugged her waist. Su Ying only felt that her body suddenly lightened, and the whole person had been picked up by Pei Zhao and was above the air.

In the past, when she listened to Ye Jingzhi's master Mr. Shen tell the story of the Sword Immortal, she was very yearning for the "walking against the wind", but she didn't expect that Pei Zhao helped her realize her wish tonight. The sound of the wind whistling past her ears, mixed with the "crackling" sound of fireworks exploding, and there was a void under her feet, but her heart was very stable.

Pei Zhao's body has a very light smell of wine, about this wine smell will be intoxicating, Su Ying hesitated for a long time, but still gently tilted his head and leaned on Pei Zhao's shoulder.

Just this moment. She knew that her thoughts were against the world, but tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, a good day for her wishes to come true, and she was a little greedy, probably not too much.

Pei Zhao's light skills are excellent, and after a while, Su Ying felt that her feet were stepping on the ground, the bright moon in the sky seemed to be within reach, the pearls were shining all around, and the huge night pearl was not disgraced even under the brilliant illumination of fireworks, Su Ying found out that Pei Zhao actually brought her to the top of the Xuanzheng Palace!

Xuanzheng Hall is the highest palace in the Daming Palace, look down from here, only see a continuous palace, the snow bright palace lights are connected together, lined with the boundless night, it seems to be a splash of ink made by everyone on a whim.

Pei Zhao carefully helped her sit down, and said softly: "Is it cold?" ”

She shook her head, but Pei Zhao quickly touched her hand, untied the big coat and put it on her, pointed to the large piece of palace at her feet, and said with a smile: "Look, looking down from here, does Daming Palace look like it's a different look?" ”

Su Ying smiled at him quietly, and at this time, another firework exploded overhead, and golden sparks came and went, like the Nine Heavens Galaxy bursting the embankment, this scene was very similar to the tree flower that Pei Zhao took her to see on her birthday.

If only I could go back to that time, I wouldn't like Pei Zhao.

Pei Zhao saw her expression, was silent for a long time, and asked, "I have seen that your face is not good these days, is there something on your mind?" Tell me, are you homesick, or do you find it boring to stay in the palace? ”

In the past, she always accepted Pei Zhao's kindness to her with peace of mind, but now she is a little more timid. She was very afraid, afraid that Pei Zhao would be too good to her, and she would like Pei Zhao even more. If this affection is too deep, it will be even more sad in the end.

"I'm fine." She smiled at him, about this smile was too reluctant, Pei Zhao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You are lying." ”

She avoided his gaze and asked softly, "Don't you have someone you like?" She...... What kind of people are they? ”

Pei Zhao was stunned, but still spoke: "She is the best girl in the world." ”

Su Ying was very sad in her heart, as if someone had taken a very thin and extremely sharp needle and poked her heart again and again. She wanted to know Pei Zhao's sweetheart, but she was afraid to know, this was really a stupid idea, didn't she know what the girl looked like, and Pei Zhao would like her?

Pei Zhao looked at her deeply, and seemed to continue talking, she was suddenly afraid that Pei Zhao would tell herself tenderly how much he liked that girl, so she quickly wiped a handful of tears in the night, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this." ”

The night was falling, and the stars were so close that it seemed that if you could grab a handful just by stretching out your hand. Su Ying was bathed in the starlight in the sky, and suddenly had a very bold idea in her heart.

She wanted Pei Zhao to know that she had someone in her heart, she liked him so much, and when she didn't know what it was, she only had him in her heart.

Even if Pei Zhao would never know that person was him in her life, she would say it. She doesn't want to leave regrets for herself, after tonight, she will still be the former Su Jin, with this unspeakable affection for Pei Zhao, she will live well in Daming Palace.

"Pei Zhao, I have something to tell you." She heard her own voice, slight but firm: "I'm in love with someone." ”
