Chapter 13: The courtyard is quiet
[The new book list is rushing to the list, please support.] 】
"My father ordered that no one should mention it, so naturally no one would say it. A concubine who has been dead for so long, what's the use of knowing which one she is? "The eyes of the falling snow reflect the bright glass, crystal like a star in the sky, clear and bright, but mixed with a trace of cunning that is not easy to be noticed.
A hazy mist floated in Jian Huaizhen's eyes, his calm face turned slightly pale, and he said, "Let's go see Gongzi Jiang." ”
Luoxue's eyes dripped and flowed in the eye sockets several times, and she pretended to caress her earlobes and said, "We have traveled all the way, have you ever seen the beaded red jade earrings I wear?" These earrings were a gift from my mother at the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. If she loses it, she'll blame me. I want to go back the way I came, can you wait for me here? ”
The breeze blows, and the glazed flower wall flows with the wind like light-colored splashed ink. Jian Huaizhen's eyes were stained with blue and blue, her heart was slightly awe-inspiring, and she immediately smiled: "I'm waiting for you here, you can go back and find it quickly." ”
"You must not go away, you must wait for me to come back, Brother Shaoheng needs you very much." Snow Princess has a pretty face, delicate, and there is a faint smile on her face that can't be hidden.
Jian Huaizhen smiled lightly: "I'll wait for you to come back." After speaking, he admired the glass flower wall and never looked at her again.
Princess Luoxue hurriedly ran away, walked into the distance, and looked back at Jian Huaizhen in the glazed bush, only to see her wearing a pear blossom white cage Yanxiu Yunyi long skirt dragged on the ground, dyed with the glazed color like moonlight silver frost, and the whole person was as beautiful as a fairy in Yaochi. She bends her waist to take a slight step, presents her wrist in the light yarn, behaves calmly, and her bearing is noble, tactful as the orchid is fragrant, and the mountains are quiet.
Luoxue's eyes turned red, and her heart swelled with anger, she stomped her foot fiercely, turned and went far away. Jian Huaizhen lowered her head, squinted slightly, and saw her figure disappearing, and she already had a plan in her heart.
She walked out of the glazed bush, looked around, only to see the eaves of the corridor flying obliquely, red tiles and vermilion walls, not far away is a clear water, diffuse with smoke, like a long scroll of light ink. Surrounded by clear water, strange rocks are rugged and meandering, the grass and trees are lush and lush, and the ancient trees of the forest are shaded by each other. Among them, there is an ancient pine, iron-clad purple scales, the sky is in the clouds, the breeze blows the Buddha, the lush branches and leaves shake slightly, it is like a thousand dragons and snakes leaping, and the sound of the stumbling is in the ears.
At this time, there was already a faint sound of footsteps on the jade carved stone road. Jian Huaizhen didn't hesitate anymore and rose up. She was as light as a sword, as ephemeral as a god, and in an instant she was already standing on top of the ancient pine, hiding in the dense foliage.
Not long after, a team of brocade-clothed guards dressed in golden flying fish armor ran over. The person who took the lead, in his forties, couldn't see the face clearly, and his beard was particularly eye-catching. His voice was gloomy and cold: "Search for me!" Be sure to find out the people who broke into the forbidden palace! ”
"Yes!" The brocade guards shouted in response, and scattered in all directions, searching everywhere.
The bearded man who took the lead turned around again and instructed, "You must be extra careful, no one is allowed to destroy the things in this forbidden palace." If the emperor blames him, we can't afford to take it. ”
Jian Huaizhen prostrated himself on top of Gu Song, and his heart was already as clear as a mirror. The leader of this team of Jinyi Guards was the one who wanted to kill her and Fang Yu in Duxiu Mountain that day. Although he couldn't see clearly, the beard and his voice couldn't be wrong. This team of people was naturally called by Princess Luoxue, but whether Concubine Ru was involved in it, Jian Huaizhen did not know.
In fact, when Princess Luoxue went to Changchun * Palace to find Jian Huaizhen to visit Jiang Shaoheng, Jian Huaizhen already knew that she had ulterior motives and came prepared. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, Princess Luoxue is unintentional, Jian Huaizhen can hide once, and may not be able to hide the second time. Therefore, she pretended to be deceived and agreed to go with him to visit people.
The roads in the palace are complicated, and if you are not a long-time resident in the palace, it is easy to get lost. Princess Luoxue thought that Jian Huaizhen had not been in the palace for a long time, and she should be very unfamiliar with the road in the palace, so in the name of taking her to Chang'an Palace, she took her to the forbidden place in the palace from the small road - Wan'an Palace, where Concubine Lian lived in the past. But I didn't know that Jian Shihong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was one of the main officials responsible for the construction of the Forbidden City, and Jian Huaizhen also gave a lot of ideas about the planning of the palace repair, and she knew the map of the Forbidden City well.
Twenty years ago, a heavenly fire burned Lian Guifei Siyao to death in Wan'an Palace in Yingtian City. Later, when Zhu Di issued an edict to rebuild the imperial city in Beijing, he also specially ordered the reconstruction of Wan'an Palace, where Lian Siyao lived in the past, and ordered the construction of a fairyland glazed garden in Wan'an Palace, named "Liuli Drunk", to pay tribute to Lian Siyao.
Although Zhu Di never forgets Lian Siyao, he also remembers from time to time that she had an affair with someone and gave birth to a child, and it is inevitable to look back on lovesickness, love and hate. That kind of love and hatred tormented him for many years. He wanted to dust away this unbearable memory, to forget this only woman he had ever truly loved, but who had hurt him so much. So, he ordered the Wan'an Palace to be set as a forbidden place, and those who trespassed would die.
Jian Shangshu once mentioned to his daughter that the emperor wanted to build a glazed garden to remember Lian Siyao. Later, he was sent to take charge elsewhere, and the matter was no longer resolved. Therefore, when Princess Luoxue brought Jian Huaizhen to "glass drunk", in the illusion of light and shadow, Jian Huaizhen would inevitably have a moment of sadness and mixed feelings.
When Luoxue left under the pretext of leaving, Jian Huaizhen already understood what she wanted to do. Jian Huaizhen not only knew that this was Wan'an Palace, but also knew that Wan'an Palace was a forbidden place, and on weekdays, the princesses and princes occasionally broke in, and most of the guards would turn a blind eye. Outsiders break in, but it's very different. Those who break into the forbidden palace have only a dead end.
After searching around, Jin Yiwei found nothing. They did not even let go of the vast blue water, but they only ignored the pines. Unable to find anyone, Feng Wuwu had to take people away.
When they were far away, Jian Huaizhen jumped down from the pine, still standing in the middle of the glass. A line of white geese swept across the sky and sank into the blue sky. Jian Huaizhen's clothes are neat, her eyes are clear, and her white dress is like a dream. Not far away, there is the sound of water ticking and pouring down, like a jade leak, and the piano flute has a good sound.
It wasn't long before Snow Princess came with her dress in her hands. With a reluctant smile on her face, her face turned a little blue, and she forced herself to say, "My earrings have been found." Have you been in this glazed garden all along? ”
Jian Huaizhen's eyes were rolling, she smiled discouragedly, and her soft shadow was swaying in the icy and jade water, and she said slowly: "The princess told me to wait here, and I naturally didn't dare to go anywhere else." ”
"That is the Jinyi Guard-" As soon as the words came to her mouth, Luo Xue realized that she had said the wrong thing, but it was already difficult to recover, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "I just came back and saw a team of Jinyi Guards just walked out. I feared that they would leave you in trouble, so I hurried back to see you. ”
Jian Huaizhen groaned slightly, and Sri said slowly: "Jinyiwei must have found an assassin again, this is where Princess Falling Snow brought me, how can Jinyiwei embarrass me." Is it forbidden to come in here? Jian Huaizhen looked at Princess Luoxue and smiled.
"You ......" Luoxue was almost snatched up by her, but she couldn't hold back, and squeezed out a smile on her pretty face that was more ugly than a crying face and said, "Naturally, you can come in." Don't think about it. Look, there's a lot of smoke over there, like a layer of smoke, so let's go over and take a look. ”
"Didn't you say you were going to visit Shaoheng Gongzi?" Jian Huaizhen took out the silk and gently wiped the fine dust on the glass.
"Let's go see the water first. Just watch for a while and go. Princess Falling Snow pulled Jane's water sleeve and muttered a delicate little mouth, pleading.
Jian Huaizhen dragged the picturesque long skirt and followed behind the falling snow. Skirt the lush vegetation and come to the clear water.
There are countless goldfish in the pool, and hundreds of golden-scaled red fish swim in the pool, glowing with a golden luster, dyeing half of the pool of clear water into gold, like a layer of flowing moonlight, and half of the small pool is shrouded in a golden halo.
"Come and see, what a beautiful swimming fish!" Luoxue pointed to the goldfish in the small pool, and asked Jian Huaizhen to walk to the slippery and wet moss stone by the pool to see.
Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly, followed the words, and watched the swimming fish in the water, her long eyelashes were like wings, and her eyes were shining, like two pills of black mercury. The skin on her face is radiant and smooth, and it looks even more beautiful and graceful.
Luoxue hid behind her, pointing at the fish in the pond indiscriminately, saying that it was beautiful, but her eyes did not even look at the pool.
She saw that Jian Huaizhen was fascinated, so she didn't hesitate any longer, and took out a shiny iron cylinder from her sleeve. The iron cylinder is painted with enamel color patterns, and the mouth of the cylinder is sealed with wax. Falling Snow used the tortoiseshell jeweled flower butterfly armor on her fingers to remove the wax and slowly open the seal. Her eyes flickered with an uncertain and vicious light, shrouded in a rich layer of frosty tile.
It's a snake!
The snake was only seven or eight inches long, as thin as a finger, and the pattern was extremely beautiful, and the whole body seemed to be stained with a thin layer of blue and white porcelain enamel. The triangular snake head was raised high, spitting out a fiery red tongue, and the snake body snaked and wandered, crawling towards Jian Huaizhen.
This snake is called "Silver Spear Snake", which is native to Wusizang and is extremely poisonous. Whoever bites into it with its fangs, the poison quickly spreads into the bloodstream. In less than half a pillar of incense, the poisoned person will definitely die, and the death will be extremely ugly.
The snake slowly crawled towards Jian Huaizhen, who was still watching the fish from the water, engrossed in admiring the wonderful posture of the goldfish, and didn't seem to notice what was happening behind him.
The snowfall princess's delicate face became more and more ruddy, and her breathing became a little short, she looked at the snake with wide eyes, clenched her fists tightly and did not move, and the whole person seemed to be out of her body.
Seeing that the slender poisonous snake was about to climb up to the placket of Jian Huaizhen's clothes, the Snow Princess only felt a flash of silver light in front of her, and before she could see what was happening, the snake was already as if it was stimulated, and quickly turned the snake's head and crawled towards the Snow Princess.
The falling snow suddenly turned terried with terricity, and she desperately retreated, but her feet were like lead, and she couldn't move half a step. There was a look of despair on her face, and she fell heavily on the wet and slippery mossy stone.
Until now, she didn't understand what was going on, obviously this silver spear snake was domesticated by her, so when she took advantage of pulling Jian Huaizhen's sleeve, she quietly painted the silver spear snake's favorite purple incense on Jian Huaizhen's sleeve. But the serpent turned its spear and bit itself. She knew that the silver spear snake was so venomous that she thought she wouldn't survive this time.
