Chapter Thirty-Four: Frequent Encounters
There was a white mist in the darkness, which gradually diffused, and then dissipated, and a soft yellow circle of light appeared, and out of the circle of light came a gentle woman, holding a three- or four-year-old milk doll in her arms.
"Jin'er, come here, come to my mother." She beckoned, her eyes full of doting gazes.
Illusion, illusion again.
I stay where I am, and as long as I don't move, the illusion will not be shattered.
"Jin'er?" She slowly approached, "Why, why is it like this?" Where have all the good thoughts you said gone? The pampering in her eyes turned into endless sorrow, and the tears flickered, dripping on the placket of her clothes, and became dark and deep water stains.
"Heh......" Even though he knew it was an illusion, he still had a sour nose, tears dripping from his eyes, and he hadn't shed tears for a long time, how strange is this scene now?" Good thoughts? If it weren't for this weak kindness, you wouldn't have died! If it weren't for your so-called kindness, I wouldn't have been disfigured and wouldn't have been kicked out of Liufu! The shouts were heart-rending and exhausted.
Her countenance gradually changed, condensing into a snarky face. "You caused your mother's death, little slut!"
Inhale in large gulps and wait until your heartbeat is stable before you completely wake up from your dream. There was darkness all around, and I got up violently and didn't know what I touched, and with a bang, the person who hurt wanted to cry.
After adapting to the darkness, I realized that I was in a soft sedan car. The familiar faint fragrance of tea comes from the coat of Beiyu Jinchen on his body.
Lifting the curtain, there was a small guard waiting at the door, it was Lin Bai who had seen him in the paddock last time.
"The girl is awake?" He helped me pull the curtain.
"Where is this?"
"The plum garden in the palace is very safe, no one is coming, don't worry, the girl can rest assured, the palace banquet has not started yet."
Looking at the desolate dead branches and branches around and the ground that has not been cleaned for a long time, there is no doubt that it is indeed a plum garden, and it happens that the plum garden is not far from the palace banquet place, and it only takes a quarter of an hour's walk.
"Our lord asked me to tell the girl that it's still too late to watch the fireworks."
Suddenly, I wanted to laugh, but I held back. "I see."
Lifting his feet to leave, he was stopped by him again, Lin Bai found a glass vial from the sedan chair, which was a brown paste-like object. "This is a medicine for chilblains, and the master said that it can be cured once a day for ten days."
I was slightly stunned before replying. "Thank him for me."
The temperature in the ice cellar was terrible, and I thought it was cool in autumn, but at this time, I felt that it was still very warm outside.
Coming out of the plum garden, the path is quiet, and the unique smell of evergreen pines and cypresses circulates in the cold air.
Reach out and touch the low pine, the pine needles are sharp, but they can't pierce the flesh.
Hear the noisy flow of people from afar, the palace banquet is set in the autumn fragrance garden, because it is autumn, the various chrysanthemums in the autumn fragrance garden are blooming, the various varieties are piled together and there is also a bit of the illusion of purple and red, the chrysanthemum is a noble hermit, the cold autumn is secretly open, not as proud as the plum blossom is not as magnificent as the peony, but it has its own unique beauty.
The chrysanthemum in the palace is no longer such a noble thing, just like a newcomer full of ambition who enters the career of a convenient hall and is finally polished like a rabble.
secretly laughed at himself for being sad and sad, and dressed up and walked into the Autumn Fragrance Garden.
The crowd was bustling, although the name was a palace banquet, but in fact it was just a family banquet. Several ministers in the paddock, one or two concubines, and even the queen were not there.
Some people talk about Li Shuyuan's promotion to concubine and the dream of giving the number. Feng Yu was also there, quietly pouring wine for the Queen Mother.
Beiyu Jinchen sat on one side and talked to Ruxue, smiling lightly. Seeing that he was wearing a little thin, I remembered that his coat was for me to use as a quilt.
The scene of him hugging me in the ice cellar to keep warm suddenly appeared in his head, and his ears burned, so don't look over his head and dare not look at him.
A palace maid served the dishes, and I took the plate and motioned for her to leave.
Putting a plate of delicacies on the table, Bei Yuliang was also laughing with the Queen Mother, and when he saw me serving, he casually asked, "Why did you come?" ”
"Slave maid...... Lost a nap in the backyard, forgot the time, and asked the emperor for forgiveness. "I couldn't think of a good reason for a while, so I had to prevaricate.
"You're idle." He smiled, not angry.
As soon as he put down the dishes and was about to serve the wine, there was a loud bang in the sky, and fireworks lit up the world.
Shooting stars dazzle brightly, and colorful lights fall. One after another, it's beautiful.
Everyone stood up one after another, watching the fireworks bloom and disappear, and I also stopped what I was doing.
Yu Guang felt a line of sight, and looked sideways, it was Beiyu Jinchen.
The crowd frolicked, and he just stood quietly, the flickering light of the fireworks hitting his face.
"Our lord asked me to tell the girl that it's still too late to watch the fireworks." Lin Bai's words echoed in his ears again.
Look at each other and walk through the crowd through the aisle.
Lowering his eyes, pressing his palms to his chest, his heartbeat was a little different, and he couldn't tell what the difference was, as if it was like this blooming firework, which passed away before it could be touched.
"Life, it's fleeting, it's easy to get old, don't let it down." Aunt Zhiqiu on the side looked at the fireworks and suddenly sighed.
Shaohua is easy to get old, red face and white hair, so what is really able to stay in the world for a long time?
I have always felt that only power and money will not betray me, but if you only live in power, how lonely is it? Bei Yuliang is also in the highest position in his life, worshiped by thousands of people, and there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, but no one can keep his heart. Beiyu Jinchen has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and the prince respected by everyone, his greatest wish is to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
There are too many things in life that you can't help yourself, who can say clearly.
After the fireworks are over, the smell of gunpowder fills the air, and the sky returns to a stagnant calm.
There are musicians playing musical instruments, dancing girls dancing in the middle, and everyone sits down to talk, talking and laughing.
The Queen Mother suddenly asked Ruxue to write calligraphy and paintings for everyone to help the fun, and Ruxue was slightly surprised.
The next person arranged everything in the middle of the stage, Ruxue lifted the pen and dipped it in ink, and just about to put down the pen, as if he remembered something, he used his left hand to pick up another stroke. There are many people who can write well with both hands, so that they can write with both hands, and I am afraid that they will not be able to find a second person.
The Queen Mother touched Beiyu Liangyi with her elbow, "Emperor, what do you think of the girl from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites?" ”
Bei Yuliang frowned without a trace, and replied lightly: "Lingxiu is smart." After that, he glanced at Li Shuyuan again, the current dream concubine. I only hope that this child will be born. ”
This sentence can be regarded as a shirk to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother smiled helplessly, and she didn't say much.
Ruxue writes well, and the palace people hold the text for everyone to appreciate. I saw that the font was like flowing water, beautiful and powerful, and it was really superior.
The ministers applauded, stuck out their tongues mischievously, and returned to their seats.
Boredom glanced at the crowd below one by one, and found the legendary general Ba Wu, with a resolute face and exquisite facial features, perhaps because he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had the vicissitudes of life around him.
There was a small guard standing beside him, with a delicate figure, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a shadow, a shadow that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Quietly retreating, she seemed to see me too, leaned over to say something to General Vaseemo, and walked out.
Quicken your pace to keep up with her, and she didn't stop until she reached the vicinity of the plum garden. I stood behind her, she didn't turn around, Lan Zhi said that she betrayed the Night Pavilion, I just want to know the truth.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and I am a little emaciated, but it does not affect her beauty at all.
"Do you have anything to explain?" I asked her, hoping that she would give me a reason why I felt better.
Only then did she turn around, her expression calm. "Nope."
Just two words, choking on what I wanted to say next.
"I won't go back, I'll marry him." She took a step closer and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I love him." ”
"Auntie won't let you leave easily, your life is from the Night Pavilion, too...... Cool west. ”
She laughed, pointed at me and said, "Liangxi? What does Liangxi have to do with me? I have Beiyan's blood in my bones, but you took me into the cabinet with wishful thinking, and I have worked hard for you for nearly ten years, which is enough. I won't reveal a single penny of you, no matter whether Beiyan is destroyed in the end or not, I will take him away and fly away. ”
She was about to walk, and I grabbed her wrist the moment she rubbed shoulders. "Don't go, wait until I get the world's ......"
"You? Emperor Ji, please don't be whimsical, your final ending is already eight generations of virtue if you are not executed by them. ”
The words were blocked in my throat again, and I could barely refute her words.
"Believe it or not, I'll end your life here."
She stepped back, smiled brightly, and reached out to support my cheek. "Do you know why you don't end well either, because of your woman's kindness, your ridiculous remnants of goodness! If I were you, I wouldn't have said anything and would have gotten started, and you just wanted to scare me with words. She approached and whispered. If you can't let go of your so-called benevolence, you will always be Liu Sujin, and you will never be Emperor Dexin. ”
I was still standing there until she was long gone. She was right, I said that I wanted to take over the world, but I couldn't kill my aunt and brother.
The blood of the whole body is coagulated, what is the true ruthlessness, I have been able to look down on the life and death of others, and I can eradicate the people who hinder me on my way, isn't this enough?
I am the alliance of life and death that I have befriended, and I easily give up on me and betray me, and I don't deserve her gratitude for exchanging the lives of nine people, it turns out that she only hates me.
Tears spilled from the corners of his eyes and slid down the corners of his mouth, faintly salty.
"Why are you standing here?"
Someone behind him made a sound, and he was shocked, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve before daring to turn around.
Beiyu Jinchen was on the other side, I was stunned, and the idea of how to meet again popped up in my heart.
"Are you crying?" He raised his eyebrows, but his tone was flat, not bantering.
I cleared my throat so that he wouldn't notice anything else. "It's just that the wind and sand have lost my eyes."
He curled his lips and handed him a handkerchief. "Don't rub it with your hands."
