Chapter Twenty-Nine: Harness
This exquisite white porcelain ring with yellow silk tie hanging tassels resembles a fine royal white jade ornament, which will never make people guard against it.
The emperor was very puzzled in his heart, and said: "Why do you use porcelain instead of jade?" Jade is less easily damaged, isn't it better to wear than this white porcelain? ”
Gu Xi smiled and whispered: "The jade is a gentleman in the stone, and it is restrained with the medicine in the white porcelain, so it cannot be used." And the porcelain clay is just mutually beneficial to this drug, the effect is pure and the best, there can be no slightest difference in this, otherwise the difference is a thousand miles, it will be counterproductive. ”
When the emperor heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he sighed lightly: "Is there such an ingenious thing about this thing?" ”
Gu Xi naturally understood the emperor's jealousy and suspicion of these medicines, and then pointed to the boxes on the table, the smile on the corner of his lips overflowed freely, and said calmly: "There is a list of spices prepared in this gift box, please ask the Tai Hospital to prepare some for the Praetorian Guards to wear in case of accidents." Because I was afraid that the fragrance would be too strong and the Gu worms would not be close, the amount of spices in the order had been reduced by three points. ”
"Sir, you are really thoughtful." Yun Yanlong smiled, his eyes flashing, as if he was quite satisfied with his control of the current situation and people's hearts. Everything is comprehensive, and even the list of tests in the hospital has already been prepared. Since this person behaved so frankly, he couldn't be disheartened, so he motioned to Chu Ruirong to present the white porcelain ring, held it with his own hands and looked at it carefully, and praised and praised such exquisite skills.
In the palace of King Heng.
The sun is scorching, shining in the courtyard full of flowers, and the spring is beautiful. The peach blossoms on the shore of the lake are in full swing, and a bright color looks as if it is about to burn, reflecting the blue waves of the lake, which has a kind of burning enchantment.
In the face of such a picturesque beauty, in the quaint water pavilion, there are people who are wandering in the distance.
The cool breeze from the surface of the lake slowly blew the tender green and blue veils in the water pavilion, rising and falling for no reason in front of you, rendering the beautiful scenery on the shore more dreamlike.
Yun Yanjin held a celadon cup in her hand, leaned lazily in the beauty chair, her legs were casually raised, and she looked at Yun Yanzheng who had been glued to the beautiful scenery outside the window but had no intention of appreciating it. She frowned, dressed in white, and sat on the Taishi chair with her hands and knees on her hands as usual, her face clearly full of worry.
"What are you worried about?" He couldn't help but speak lazily, "Is this sacrifice because I'm worried that no one will offend the imperial brother in his eyes?" Or are you worried that he won't be able to solve the strange case in the palace and affect Rui Rong and me? ”
After a while, Yun Yanzheng turned around, looked at the person who had been lying on his beauty chair since she was busy in the army, and didn't want to get up, and reprimanded softly: "What do you give up, what do you give up?" ”
Yun Yanjin smiled softly and said, "I don't say such nonsense, how can I coax you to let go of that wooden face that has been solidified for a long time?" He continued to tease her, smiling slightly at the corners of his lips, as if he had a carefree look, "It's boring to watch." ”
Yun Yanzheng looked back at him and asked, "Aren't you worried at all?" ”
"Worried about what?" He asked rhetorically, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, "Now the one who should be recommended has been introduced; He who is holy has also been consecrated. People are already in the palace, and with the ability to give up, there will naturally be no danger of angering His Majesty and splashing blood in the palace. It's just that His Majesty will see what means he can have to keep this person, and the rest of his worries are mostly useless. ”
Yun Yan looked at him who was cold in brocade clothes, but he couldn't see the slightest clue from his expression, and sighed helplessly: "You have only been with Gu Shezhi for such a short time, and you have been infected with his pretending to be unfathomable. It seems that this Gu Shezhi can't have a deep friendship, otherwise I don't know what he will become in the future? ”
"You say that he seems to be a kind of poison, if you don't touch it, you will sink deeper and deeper?" He smiled and took a sip of the soup, and placed the cup on the low table beside him casually, and the smile in his eyes turned into a clear one.
"He's really an addictive poison." Yun Yanzheng's eyes condensed slightly, the expression on his elegant and beautiful face slowly became solemn, and he said softly: "There seems to be a beautiful fire on his body, sometimes even if he feels that it is dangerous, but it will make people look forward to the bright swaying in the firelight like a moth, and then he will fly over desperately, maybe he will be burned by that firelight, and he will be extinguished from then on." ”
Yun Yanjin was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she came back to her senses and looked at Yun Yanzheng fixedly, with a deep meaning in her eyes.
Yun Yan glanced at him, chuckled, shook his head, and said, "What I'm worried about is that this overwhelming imperial power may not be able to control such a person. The longer I spent with this person, the more difficult it became for me to see through this person. When you think you have understood his intentions, you are often self-righteous, and what he shows you may only be a deliberately created illusion. How can you be sure that such a person is really at the behest of others, and that he has willingly been plotted by others? ”
Yun Yanjin's face was slightly gloomy, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky." There are some things that you know you can't do. ”
Yun Yanzheng silently pondered his words, but his heart was pounding. Gu Shezhi doesn't show his talent, or he pretends to be mediocre and promised, but once he appears in front of the emperor with his usual sharp analysis and amazing posture of words, and then refuses to be restricted by the emperor's order, will this result end in defeat, or will he apologize with death?
Her face was so calm that she couldn't see the slightest ripples at the moment, but the waves tumbling in her heart were unexpectedly turbulent.
The daylight gradually shifted, and she clearly knew that she was saying goodbye to Yun Yanjin and walking all the way out of King Heng's Mansion, but why was the voice of the people beside her asking her for peace so vague and distant?
Yun Yanzheng led the white horse and did not walk towards the eldest princess's mansion, but seemed to approach the direction of the palace in a zigzag and aimless way. But this matter, His Majesty wants to hide from all the people, including her and Yun Yanjin, she received the spy report from the secret sentinel sent to monitor Gu Xi. But when she arrived at King Heng's Mansion, Yun Yanjin was already in the water pavilion, and looking at the leisurely expression on his face, naturally he also guessed Gu Xi's whereabouts.
Standing on the long street, the spring breeze was slight, the slightest rain fell, and the catkins on both sides fell one after another, leaving others all over their heads.
In the end, she chose a restaurant that sat down at the intersection of the road from the palace to the palace of the king. What was on the table in front of him was not wine, but a pot of bird's beak tea. The soup was fragrant, and she seemed to sip the tea juice casually, but her eyes kept sweeping over the pedestrians and carriages of all shapes and shapes on the street.
The rain-washed willow silk is emerald and emerald, reflecting the white figure by the moat. He sat lazily on his knees on the rock, looking up at the undulating mountains in front of him, the rain washed his clothes like flowing clouds, this person was unconscious, only here quietly waiting for someone to come.
A new pot of tea came up, and a folded paper slip was hidden at the bottom of the cup.
"Outside the city, by the moat."
The slender hand put away the paper, and used internal force to catalyze it into powder in the palm of his hand and scattered it in the air, no one knows.
Yun Yanzheng's eyes were deep and calm, but she didn't know how this person knew that she was in the wine shop? What is the reason for such a mysterious invitation? Was there some shady conspiracy in it, or was it because of his habit of being so pretentious?
But she did the opposite, jumped on the white horse, and went with a clear banner in plain clothes and silver bells.
After showing the token of "Phoenix Dance Princess" at the city gate, the passage was unimpeded, and the horse was found along the river bank all the way. The man was sitting on a protruding bluestone by the river at the moment, his shallow and smiling face half-hidden in the verdant willow color, and his eyes were met from afar.
Some people say that the figures coming from a distance are mostly embarrassed and not suitable for people to admire. But Yun Yanzheng's posture of a person and a horse seems to be walking slowly and gracefully with the most beautiful dance, and her eyes and movements seem to be pleasing to the eye with a beautiful rhythm.
She drove the horse to stop beside him, stared at his eyes condescendingly, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu passed the paper to invite, I don't know why?" ”
was stared down on, he didn't dodge in the slightest, looked back at her with a smile, and said lightly and elegantly: "The status of the eldest princess of Fengwu is noble, and it is already unattainable, why do you need to make such a gesture again?" ”
Yun Yanzheng smiled slightly, expecting that he would not know her identity. At this moment, he was not surprised at all to say that he broke it. It's just that he was a little displeased with his behavior these days, kicked the horse with both feet, kicked up the dust, and chuckled: "Since this princess is noble, what does it matter if she is a domineering person?" ”
Gu Xi swept away the dust, turned his face and coughed lightly, and said slowly: "In the past, Princess Yunsi, who was both talented and beautiful, and was famous all over the world, would be so powerful and bullying, it is really better to meet than to meet." ”
Yun Yanzheng tightened the reins and stopped the restless white horse, and was slightly stunned when he saw that he had not dodged. The anger in his heart subsided slightly, and he didn't apologize, he had heard his sarcasm, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Gu, you are disappointed, this palace is deeply sorry!" ”
Gu Xi's smile is as old as ever, the color between the rain and green willows is like snow, but his eyes are as bright as crystals, like the starry night sea, quiet, secluded, and vast, and a bright smile blooms in his always perfect and cold expression. At this moment, he seemed to have melted half of the strict ice and snow camouflage, revealing a color that was enough to overwhelm all beings.
She stopped breathing almost instantly, and after a moment she gathered her mind, and she could still feel the fire burning on her cheeks. She turned her face away to look at it with a weak heart, but she felt that she was stared at by such a pair of delicate eyes, and she still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, not only was her heart weak and her ears hot, but her heart beat several beats.
"This is for you, Yun Shezhi." Suddenly, he took something out of his sleeve, tossed it in his palm, and threw it at her at random.
