Chapter 273: Night Meeting
Originally, when Emperor Chengxing crowned his two sons kings, he lined up Wei Jingshu and Wang Yingzhi in a big and small line, although they entered the door together and were wives, whether it was for Wei Jingshu's sake of Li Junche's branches, or for Wei Shuqi's dragon work, Wang Yingzhi fell behind.
In addition, she had no intention of fighting for these false names, so she was demoted to a side room.
As soon as Xu Jinrong died, there was no concubine in Deren Palace, although Xu Jinxin was in charge of the affairs of Deren Palace, but she was not the main room, and she couldn't walk around with the identity of the main room.
Wei Jingshu didn't like her either, since Xu Jinrong's death, Jingli Palace and Deren Palace had to be used for the etiquette of the festival.
On the eighth day of the first month, Wei Jingshu sent a Laba porridge to Deren Palace with the palace people, and the other end also came back.
By the time Li Junchun came back, it was already the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar.
There was goose feather snow in Kyoto, and he came out of the imperial study wearing a black fox cloak and was heading to Empress Zhen's middle palace.
Wei Jingshu just came out of the middle palace, and happened to bump into him.
She is wearing a red rhombic jacket today, with a circle of white mink fur on the neckline and cuffs, an eight-panel skirt of the same color, deerskin boots, and her hands in her pockets.
The face is white and ruddy, and there is a flattery between the eyebrows and eyes, but it is more and more difficult to take off people's eyes.
Li Junchun saw her from afar, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and his steps became slower and slower, until he got closer, he lowered his eyes and shouted: "Sister-in-law, ......"
Wei Jingshu also stood still, nodded and smiled: "The second brother is back, and the queen mother is still thinking about you." ”
Li Junchun's selfishness was deeply hidden, and Wei Jingshu didn't see it at all.
In the previous life, he didn't like himself, and in this life, she would never put gold on her face, and she paused to talk to him, but she really treated it like a little uncle.
But the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and what Wei Jingshu can't see, someone can see it for her.
Li Junche is busy with his colleagues these days about changing taxes, Li Junchun is back, and he can't spare time to catch up with him, so he returns to Jingli Palace in the night.
The so-called one person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and the five classics reprimanded with a dark face: "Who is so reckless." ”
As soon as the man heard the voice, his body trembled, and he raised his head halfway, and shouted weakly: "Brother Wei......"
Yinling was already young, her face was fair and transparent, and her innocent eyes were raised, which was somewhat similar to Wei Jingshu.
Li Junche is not surnamed Wei, Yinling has long known about it, and it turns out that he also respects the rules and shouts His Royal Highness when he sees it, but now he has something hidden in his heart, and he blurts out when he can't remember it.
After shouting, he remembered that he had made a mistake, lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, and corrected it: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yi." ”
Although Li Junche was tired on his face, he still smiled, nodded and said, "Why are you still outside at such a late hour, and you don't even bring a palace person." ”
The tip of Yinling's nose was dripping with light sweat, and she hooked her lips and smiled reluctantly: "I'm not used to it." ”
He raised his eyes to look at Li Junche again, and asked him, "Is Your Highness on duty?" ”
Seeing that Li Junche responded, he said thoughtfully: "I have been practicing calligraphy with Sister Wang recently, but I always write badly, can Your Highness help me take a look?" ”
Li Junche glanced at the Five Classics without a trace, but did not refuse: "Okay." ”
Jingli Palace is huge, and Yinling's family lives in Lanyue Pavilion, which is the farthest away from the main hall, and while leading Li Junche there, he squeezed out words to chat a few words.
The palace people carried lanterns in front, and the Five Classics followed behind without saying a word.
Yinling also really looked for Li Junche's guidance, there was still snow in the sky, Lanyue Pavilion opened the door, and the cold wind poured cold hands and feet.
She laid out the big characters written in these days one by one, and asked Li Junche where she couldn't write well.
Li Junche didn't have the slightest impatience on his face, he also answered what she asked, and after half an hour, Yinling smiled embarrassedly.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, I shouldn't have bothered you so late." As she smiled, her eyebrows curled into a row of teeth.
Li Junche smiled and saw that there was nothing to do, so he asked the Five Classics to take an umbrella and wait to leave.
Yinling sent people out, closed the door, and then patted his chest and asked the palace people beside him: "Can the news be delivered?" ”
……
The imperial garden in the imperial city does not lose its color in winter.
There were still snowflakes floating in the sky, Wei Jingshu wrapped the cloak on her body under the oil-paper umbrella held by Doudong, her ears were red from the cold, although she was wearing deerskin cotton boots, she couldn't bear to be a foot deep and shallow in this snow, and she was numb from the cold.
But there was still a smile on his face, and a eunuch came to report first, saying that Li Junche had set up a banquet in the Spring Breeze Pavilion in the Imperial Garden and invited her over.
The world is about to decide, Li Junche wants to help deal with things, and his subordinates are not enough, and if he spreads a word on weekdays, he will send the eunuchs in the palace.
Wei Jingshu only thought that Li Junche was very tired these days and wanted to relax, but she didn't pay much attention when she saw that it was a eunuch with a face, so she left Jingli Palace in the middle of the night and shrunk back to Chunfeng Pavilion.
The lights in the Spring Breeze Pavilion were bright, and the earth dragon was burning in the house, it was warm, Wei Jingshu took a few steps up the steps, and smiled coquettishly: "I don't know how to go back so late, I want to come here." ”
The man had already entered the room, rubbing his ears with his hands.
The man in the room had his hands behind his back, his back to her, and because he had come early, he had already faded away, and he was wearing only a blue robe, and his back stiffened when he heard the familiar sound.
The heart was beating wildly, and I couldn't restrain it for half a ring.
In the past few months when Li Junchun was in turmoil, he has lost a lot of weight, and he looks more and more similar to Li Junche's figure.
Wei Jingshu glanced at it without looking too much, took off the fox fur cloak on her body, unceremoniously reached out to the brazier burning silver silk carbon to warm up, and said to herself: "It's really cold this day." ”
As the words fell, an inopportune voice was heard.
"I've seen my sister-in-law......
Wei Jingshu paused, raised her head sharply to look at Li Junchun, and the gentle smile between her eyebrows immediately ceased to exist, and was replaced by anger.
"Why are you here?"
Although Li Junchun doesn't make Wei Jingshu angry, he doesn't like it.
At this time, she obviously wanted to see Li Junche, but suddenly she came out of such a person, and she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.
Li Junchun saw the look in her eyes clearly, lowered his eyes but took a few steps back to keep a certain distance from her.
He also got a message from the eunuch that Li Junche wanted to see him here, so he braved the wind and snow.
Unexpectedly, it was Wei Jingshu who saw it.
Now Li Junchun has long since recovered, and as soon as his mind turned, he knew that the third watch was a little strange to see Wei Jingshu here in the middle of the night, but he was hesitant and entangled in his heart, and he still stood still and did not leave.
"My eldest brother invited me over for dinner, but I didn't expect to meet my sister-in-law here, which was rude."
The palace is a place to eat people, not to mention the matter of Yin Si, Wei Jingshu looked at Li Junchun with vigilance, but when he saw that he took a few steps back, and lowered his eyebrows and eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I was still hesitant in my heart, and I didn't speak while I wrung my handkerchief, and I didn't know for a while whether to go or wait.
If someone calculates, he will naturally leave immediately, but if it is really Li Junche's invitation, he will not look good when he leaves like this.
Seeing this situation, Butterbur felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent a little palace man with a lantern to find Li Junche, so he entered the house with a smile.
"The slave and maid see that the house is burning with charcoal, it is better to open a door and window to let it through, so as not to get dizzy after a while."
Lonely men and widows, although it is an uncle and sister-in-law, it is even more necessary to avoid suspicion.
Li Junchun didn't speak, only nodded imperceptibly, but the corner of his eye fell on Wei Jingshu. He knew that Wei Jingshu didn't like himself, but he didn't know why he didn't like it, and he was satisfied with just one glance at him.
It's cold in winter, not to mention that it's snowing outside, even though there is a dragon in the house and a carbon basin burning, but the doors and windows are wide open, it makes people shiver.
No one spoke in the room, and it became more and more quiet, except for the crackling sound of burning silver charcoal.
Although Wei Jingshu had a frank and clear conscience, she could make this cold wind blow straight to anger, and turned her head to ask Li Junchun: "Did your eldest brother say when he will come?" ”
Li Junchun shook his head, he had not been in the palace for a long time, and he was even more unfamiliar with those palace eunuchs.
At this time, he already knew that something was wrong, and it was reasonable that he should avoid suspicion and leave, but he had the selfishness of not being able to speak to others, so he skipped it and wanted to sit with her for a while.
Wei Jingshu sat patiently for a stick of incense, and seeing that the palace people who were looking for people had not returned, the anger in her heart could not be suppressed.
"Rub" stood up and said unceremoniously: "It's late at night, His Royal Highness King Hewang will sit down for a while." ”
As he spoke, he put on his cloak and asked Cai Dong to help him leave.
Her face sank like water, and there was unspeakable anger in her eyes.
After waiting for this for a long time, Li Junche is still in the future, needless to say, it must be a good game set up by someone.
It's not that I'm afraid that Li Junche won't believe in himself, but I don't want to add to these troubles.
Li Junchun looked at her departing back and wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she didn't open that mouth.
The jade feet in the deerskin boots were already frozen, and they had long since lost consciousness when they came down the steps and stepped on the snow a few inches thick.
Not far ahead, a flickering lantern came to this side, Wei Jingshu lowered her head and was angry, and Li Junche's laughter came from her ears: "You can't freeze to death on such a cold day." ”
As soon as his eyes lit up, the person had already walked to him, and a warm hand stove was stuffed into his arms, and the anger that was full of anger just now turned into nothing.
Li Junchun came out of the house when he heard the voice, stood by the door and arched his hand, and shouted from afar: "Big brother." ”
Li Junche stretched out his hand and rubbed Wei Jingshu's head, and nodded with him: "I have a lot of things on hand, I forgot about it all of a sudden, it's late tonight, and I'll invite you to drink another day." ”
No one in the darkness saw the inexplicable look in his eyes.
