181, watching chess and being silent (2)
"Today is July 15, and many people are putting river lanterns at the water's edge, and the man's voice is in her ears.
It turned out to be the Midyear Festival, and on this day, a lamp was placed on the river and let it float away to pray for the safety of the family. The farther the lantern floats, the easier it is to fulfill your wish. On the nameless stream in the back mountain, from upstream to downstream, there are flickering river lamps floating in the flickering light, connected into a jade belt inlaid with gold and silver.
Feng Miao heard that the person behind him was Gao Huan, broke free from his arms, and called out politely, "Master Gao." ”
The starlight in the sky and the light on the river reflected each other, and the soft light sprinkled on Gao Huan's face, outlining his already bewitching facial features more and more deeply and distinctly. On his face, because of Feng Miao's alienated refusal, a trace of imperceptible anger flashed. But he quickly hid his anger: "Miao'er, there are no tall people here. You can still call me Brother Qinghuan the same as when you were a child. I remember you saying that my name has a real meaning, just like the taste of the tongue that can be tasted every day. ”
That's what she said when she was ten years old, and HD Huan hated everything that came with being an adopted son, with the exception of this name.
"Master Gao, I am no longer Feng Miao who hid in a corner of the Changli Mansion when I was ten years old, you are now an upstart in the court, and you are already different from back then." "Just as the river flows day by day and never turns, one cannot remain at one moment at will," she said, pointing to the lanterns that float down the river and never turn around. ”
She still hasn't said half a sentence, and now Gao Huan's actions make her more and more reluctant to approach, and she always feels that there is a fierce gluttony living in his heart, and when he is never satisfied, he may rush out and hurt people at any time.
"Miao'er, I didn't have anything before, and even if I wanted to do something, I was powerless. By the time I have the ability to do it, you have been sent to the palace by the eldest princess of Boling, and I have arranged a retreat for you several times, but you have refused. Gao Huan raised his hand and brushed away a blade of grass stained on her hair, "I look at you in the dark, I can see it clearly, the Empress Dowager wants you to walk in the harem without desire and ruthlessly, and when she is gone, there is still someone who can protect the honor and favor of the Feng family." But your heart is lost on Tuoba Hong......"
After leaving the palace for more than ten days, Feng Miao deliberately didn't think about this person, and even Honeysuckle carefully avoided topics related to old things in the palace. At this time, he was suddenly mentioned by Gao Huan, and a strange feeling of both familiarity and strangeness surged in his heart. She silently shouted twice in her heart, "Tuoba Hong!" Tuoba Hong! "It turned out that his name was like this, simple and straightforward, as bright as day, and the same as his person.
"Miao'er, now I'm still willing to arrange it for you, it just depends on whether you are willing to ......" Gao Huan paused, and his tone suddenly became uneager, "Didn't you always want to know, why do I always say that you shouldn't fall in love with Tuoba Hong?" You should also want to know why I have the same tattoos as your mother and daughter, why the children raised by you like the smell of dragon bones on your body, and why you don't look like King Changli at all......"
After being a deacon of Fuyi and an official of the Chinese Dynasty for a long time, he is indeed very good at grasping people's hearts, and these questions have been left in Feng Miao's heart for a long time. Before finding A-Niang, only HD Huan can tell her the answer.
She pressed her hand on her chest, trying to slow down her increasingly rapid breathing, "How can you tell me?" ”
Gao Huan stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and her voice suddenly became urgent, "You didn't bring the medicine to suppress asthma?" Do you know that an asthma attack will kill you? He bowed the cool water from the river, patted her forehead, and stroked her back with another hand, telling her to breathe.
In the distance, in the dense low bushes, there was the sound of branches swaying, like small animals running through the forest.
Feng Miao took a few steps back, leaned against a tree, and stubbornly insisted, "I want to know, please tell me." ”
Gao Huan slowly let go of his hand, looked over the rolling mountains, and looked to the north, "These things, if you talk about them without evidence, I'm afraid you won't believe it, but you will think I'm lying to you." The emperor has ordered me to renovate the mausoleum of the former emperor Madame Li, to posthumously crown her as the empress dowager, and to give her the honorific title of 'Si'. If you are willing to come with me, I can take you to a place and tell you the origin of the hibiscus flower. ”
Feng Miao stared at him closely, as if she wanted to make sure he wasn't joking, but she also knew that Gao Huan was arrogant and never laughed easily. "I'm not in Qingyan Temple, what if someone in the palace comes to look for me?" She still can't rest assured of her brother.
"No, now the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are like two fierce tigers facing each other to a critical juncture, and if they are not careful, they will be bitten by each other's throats. If the two of them ignore you, the others won't think about you. There was a cruel pleasure in Gao Huan's words that tore open the scars, "The emperor reuses the children of the family, and has just ordered that the princes of the right age among the noble clan relatives will all choose the women of the family to be the concubines, or it will not be long before a group of young and beautiful Han family concubines will be selected in the palace." ”
Feng Miao shook her head unconsciously, her fingers digging into the bark, and she didn't even notice that blood was oozing from the cracks of her nails.
"He's the emperor," Gao Huan's words were like a hypnotic spell, "the perpetuity of the country is the most important thing." As for the rest, it's just icing on the cake. ”
"When are you leaving?" Feng Miao asked in a very low voice.
Gao Huan was slightly stunned, and her green eyes swept over her face, shining with a layer of beautiful jade-like luster, "Six days later, you come down the path behind the mountain, and I will wait for you at the bottom of the mountain." Today is because it is the Midyear Festival, Qingyan Temple will release people up, and it will not be so convenient after today. ”
He pulled the cloak for Feng Miao and re-tied the belt, "Go to bed early these days, take care of your spirits, and work the road, I'm afraid your body won't be able to stand it." I just gave Honeysuckle some barley and jujube round powder, and I have already told Honeysuckle to go back early, prepare some hot soup and snacks for you, you should go back early. ”
Feng Miao walked back along the road she had come, and Gao Huan stood where she was, watching her walk back to the meditation room, closing the door, and then descending the mountain along a remote path.
At the foot of the mountain, all four curtains are black, and they are parked in the shade of the shadows of the trees. Gao Gao Huan walked to the front of the sedan chair and whispered to the people inside, "The abbot said that Mrs. Feng is chanting in the meditation room, and she will not come out until nine days, and today is only the third day." The minister told Mrs. Feng through the door that you are here, but Mrs. Feng still seems to be sad because of the loss of her son, and refuses to see outsiders, so let's talk about it in a few days. ”
There was silence for a long time, and only after a while did a voice come out, "Refuse to see outsiders? Am I an outsider? ”
The mountain wind in the forest was whistling, and although the weather was not cold at this time, the sound of the wind made people's hearts chill. Gao Gao Huan said in an unchanged indifferent voice, "The time that the emperor told Lord Li is also coming soon, and now I go back to the palace, just in time for Lord Xuan Li to go to the Sogo Palace." ”
With a "hmm" in the middle of the chariot, Gao Gao Huan motioned to the guards driving with the corner of his eyes, and the wheels turned, carrying the people in the car towards the inner city of Pingcheng.
Barley, red dates, and longan are exactly what Feng Miao needs at this time, nourishing and nourishing qi, which is very good for her to recuperate her body at this time.
Feng Miao held the coarse porcelain bowl, smelled the mellow aroma of jujube round rice paste inside, and asked Honeysuckle, "Are you familiar with Lord Gao?" ”
"Yes, don't we often meet in the palace?" Honeysuckle is soaking the barley in water and preparing to cook porridge the next day, "Every time Master Gao sends medicine for asthma, he gives it to me, and sometimes he wants to tell me some special decoction methods." The tall man is very kind, and he is also very concerned about the lady. ”
Feng Miao put the bowl down and whispered, "In the future, if he gives you anything or wants you to do, you have to tell me." She didn't want to make Honeysuckle think too much, so she added, "I don't want to accept his favor in vain, at least I should know it, and I can repay it in the future." ”
The sister-in-law in Qingyan Temple usually has some work to do, such as scrubbing the Buddha statues in the main hall, or copying scriptures for the good men and women who give alms. Feng Miao's body gradually improved, and Huikong saw that no one in the palace had been paying attention to her, so she became more and more unkind to her, and began to sarcastically ridicule her for being lazy and lazy, and she should also do work for the temple.
Honeysuckle was angry several times, but was stopped by Feng Miao. She told Huikong that she could help copy some scriptures, which was also a good deed. Huikong reluctantly agreed, as if he had suffered the boss's loss, and pointed to Honeysuckle and said, "You copy the scriptures, this little girl next to you can't be idle, she has to work like others." ”
Feng Miao knew that if she handed over Honeysuckle to her to do things, she might be tortured into something. She said to Huikong, "A sister-in-law can copy six volumes of scriptures a day, and the two of us should be able to hand over twelve volumes today, right?" ”
When the scriptures were handed over in the evening, Feng Miao's small characters were neat, and the people who gave them praise were full of praise, and Huikong couldn't find anything wrong, so that's it.
Copying the scriptures made her fingers numb, just as Honeysuckle was going to make dinner, Feng Miao went with her, and she should rest and relieve her boredom.
There was only one shared stove room in the temple, and when the two of them entered, Jing Xin and Nian Xin were also preparing dinner for Miss Qin. Jing Xin glanced at Feng Miao out of the corner of his eyes, and asked Nian Xin to go back and get some fragrant leaves.
The corners of Jingxin's eyes are tilted upward, and when he laughs, he is very charming, but when he is not smiling, he looks very spicy. I don't know what's going on, Feng Miao always felt that the way she looked at her today was a little strange, and she seemed to have some unprovoked hatred.
Honeysuckle put the soaked barley into the clay pot, Feng Miao stretched out her hand, and randomly played with the plump and round barley.
Jing Xin suddenly smiled and said, "Excuse me, will you hand me that little cup?" ”
By the fire was a small, delicate stew pot with a wooden handle embedded in the rim of the lid, still steaming from the air holes in the lid.
Honeysuckle was busy washing, Feng Miao got up, took the small cup and handed it to Jing Xin. Jingxin held the handle, Feng Miao's hand was about to let go, but Jingxin suddenly let go of her hand as if it was hot.
