Chapter X
At night, I tossed and turned, Ling Haoqian's figure seemed to be imprinted in my mind, I rarely cared so much about a person's situation, the more I didn't want to think about it, the more I couldn't control myself. I couldn't sleep left and right, so I got up helplessly, and suddenly remembered that the guzheng was still in the Yunyan Pavilion.
The courtyard was very quiet, because I didn't like people to keep vigil, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard were already asleep. In the quiet room, the cold moonlight spreads through the gaps in the leaves like a light veil, piecing together beautiful patterns on the ground.
I lifted the hem of my skirt, stood on tiptoe, and walked slowly on the wooden corridor leading to the Yunyan Pavilion, the palace lights were dim, exuding a warm but ambiguous light. The breeze blew across the lake, and the shallow fish smashed the silver discs and turned them into fine halos. The clear water of the sky holds up the light of the moon in the water, like a silk curtain entangled and swaying between heaven and earth. Not long ago, it was the Yunyan Pavilion, I walked leisurely, but at the moment when I was about to reach the Yunyan Pavilion, I was suddenly stunned there, only to see a clear and upright figure sitting there. is still the crescent white brocade robe, like the Zhilan jade tree, the light wind and the moon. My heart jumped for no reason, and I hesitated, not knowing whether to go over or not.
He had already spotted me, and after a moment of consternation, I saw a smile spread across his handsome face. Then he beckoned to me, and I couldn't help but step out.
I staggered over to his side, and when he saw that I wouldn't sit down, he took my wrist and asked me to sit next to him. I stared down at the hem of my dress, and he frowned at me, taking off his cloak and putting it on for me.
His clothes were so big they could almost wrap me up, and I simply sat on my knees and wrapped them all over my body. He smiled and looked at me as I was curled up: "Why did you run out so late?" ”
I glanced at the position where the guzheng was put during the day, but I didn't see it, thinking that Huaibi had come to get it back again, and if I said it was to take the qin, it seemed to be covered, so I avoided answering and asked, "Why did you come here so late?" ”
He smiled and said softly: "I met a fairy here today, I don't know if it's a dream, so let's be sure!" ”
Once again, I noticed that his voice was so good, and I couldn't help but say, "Are you sure?" ”
He looked back at me with a gentle smile on his face: "It's confirmed!" ”
I made him look a little uncomfortable, turned his head away from him, he was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke: "My name is Ling Haoqian!" ”
I was slightly stunned, and looked at him for a moment, but I only saw a lingering silence in his eyes. I seemed to understand what he meant, and smiled faintly: "My name is Su Ruo!" ”
He smiled lightly and nodded, his eyes very soft. The two of us sat quietly, as if any sound would affect the tranquility and beauty of the moment. The moon moved a little more to the west, and I didn't want to go, but reason reminded me that I had to go back. I looked at him, but he seemed to understand my intentions and helped me up: "Let's go!" I'll send you back! ”
I nodded, and walked beside him obediently, and he watched me enter the courtyard, and then smiled and said, "Such a quiet place is just right for you!" ”
I smiled faintly, and the bright moonlight with a faint soft light sprinkled on his body......
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival has arrived, the palace is full of joy, only Hao Xi is depressed day by day, the aunt was worried for a few days, but in a blink of an eye, she forgot that Hao Xi is the son-in-law, as long as the palace is a concubine, the emperor will give him some errands, and the position of the prince has also taken a step, not to mention, the aunt gave him the Miss Wei Jinyao of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the picture, as long as there is such a Mount Tai, Hao Xi's position in the court will be more stable.
I can't say my aunt is wrong, but I'm never happy. Especially the conflict with Wei Jinyao some time ago, even if Wei Xiang had already entered the palace to plead guilty, but after all, there were some suspicions. I think this marriage is probably more like an alliance between the two forces!
At the banquet, the ladies of each province had to present a talent, I was too lazy to prepare, and I was forced by my aunt to be tight, so I had to prepare.
These days are boring, without any waves. The sky was already bright, but I didn't mean to get up at all, Huaibi came to urge a few times, I got up lazily, wearing only a lotus-colored satin gown, the fabric was soft, smooth to the touch, and a few white magnolia flowers were embroidered on it.
"Miss, Princess Jiayi has arrived!"
Before the words fell, I heard Jiayi's voice: "Ruo'er, are you lazy again?" ”
I sat down at the dresser, tilting my head slightly, and saw that she had rushed in. As soon as she entered the room, she threw the white fox sleeves aside, sat on the rosewood round stool next to me, and looked at me with sleepy eyes, and with a little sleepiness that she didn't wake up, she laughed at me: "You won't just get up, will you?" ”
I glanced at her listlessly: "It's okay left and right, why do you get up so early?" ”
She smiled: "Have you practiced your dance?" ”
I nodded boredly: "Okay! ”
She was a little curious: "I didn't see how you practice!" ”
I complained angrily: "Miss Ben is talented and intelligent, so she doesn't need to practice at all, right?" ”
She rolled her eyes, and then turned to a bitter expression: "Ruo'er, have you seen Zhengqing during this time?" ”
I was stunned, I was completely sleepy in an instant, and my gossip heart was about to move, and I leaned towards her and said with a smile: "Tell me honestly!" Do you like Zhengqing? ”
Her face was flushed, but she didn't admit it: "No!" I just saw that he hadn't come to study for so long, so I asked! ”
"Oh......" I deliberately lengthened the tail and laughed, "I see!" Then I don't know! ”
She saw that I was deliberately selling off, she was anxious and annoyed, pulled my sleeve, and said angrily: "Good you little Ruoer!" How dare you make fun of me! ”
I was dizzy by her shaking and begged for mercy in a panic: "Good sister! I know it's wrong! I said I said ......"
She stopped, but she didn't let go of my sleeves, her mouth pursed slightly, and her eyes flashed eagerly.
I sighed secretly in my heart, how could I not understand her mood at the moment, but my face was not revealed, and said: "Zhengqing went to Jiangnan with his uncle!" I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the New Year! ”
She nodded in disappointment, I saw that she couldn't keep up her spirits anymore, and she felt a little sad in her heart, in fact, I saw her friendship with Zhengqing a long time ago, but Zhengqing has been avoiding it! Now, we are getting older, and marriage is just a matter of time, how can she not be worried!
As a result, my mind was also faintly depressed, and the two of us sat quietly for a long time without a sound.
"Ruo'er, what do you say, what will happen to us in the future?" She spoke suddenly.
When I looked at her, I also had some unspeakable worries in my heart, she couldn't control her fate as a princess, how could I have this ability.
"Who knows!" I sighed.
She sat silently for a long time, suddenly blinked, and said with a smile: "Ruo'er, what do you think of my second emperor brother?" ”
My face flushed, and I thought to myself that I didn't show any trace, but I don't know why she asked me like this: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
"Nonsense?" She looked at me with a smile and a serious expression: "I'm not talking nonsense! The second imperial brother is the most outstanding among my royal brothers, both civil and military, and his personality is the most gentle, and, most importantly, he has not accepted a concubine yet! If you marry him, wouldn't it be a good marriage? ”
I was moved by what she said, but I didn't admit it: "Who wants to marry someone from your family!" ”
She smiled, ignoring my cover-up, hooked her lips and said, "Look at it! Maybe she will become the daughter-in-law of our family! ”
I didn't think so, but I didn't expect this joke to become a prophecy many years later.
