The yellow sand is long, and the wind is blowing. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info windy and frosty along the way, and the sun, moon and stars are just embellishments.
The guards were scattered and disrespectful to the people in the carriage.
A girl who looked like a maid walked from the back of the convoy, jumped into the carriage, handed a bowl of porridge to the people inside, and said: "Niangniang, the porridge is a little cold, but you can still eat it. ”
The woman in the carriage was still young, but her expression was very haggard, and her dress was not very delicate, and when you looked closely, it was still a few years old, and even a little ill-fitting because of her thinness. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Where are you now?"
"Walk a little further, and you'll be able to go to the official road before dark. Bai Lu smiled: "The slave maid has asked those people, and within five days, they will definitely be able to return to Dingjing." ”
Frostfall also laughed: "When I return to the palace, the mother will come to the bitter end." ”
"Bitterness comes at a good time. Shen Miao smiled bitterly: "Those who are broken can't come back." ”
She said the stun and the valley rain, and when she heard the words, the white dew and the frost also showed sadness in their eyes, and they stopped talking.
In order to win over the ministers, he was willing to be a concubine, and in the first year of Shen Miao's first trip to the Qin State, news came that he was found by the wife of the minister and died. As for Gu Yu...... Shen Miao clenched her fists, but she died in the hands of Huangfu Hao in order to protect her.
Five years, five years. In the five years of Qin State, the last bit of arrogance on her body was not left at all. She gritted her teeth and begged for perfection, just so that one day she could return to her homeland and reunite with her two children. However, the heavy price paid in this is indeed not a hardship for outsiders.
How difficult was this journey? There weren't even many guards escorting them, and just looking at this carriage and horse team, who would have thought that this was the honor guard of the queen of a country? The men and horses she brought to the Qin State at the beginning had already died or scattered in the past five years, and they were almost gone. Just like this journey back to China, if it weren't for Mo Qing's protection, she would definitely not be able to go back alive.
Shen Miao sighed, fortunately, all the hardships were not in vain, and the five years were finally over.
Just as he was thinking that it was time for the carriage to continue its journey, instead of setting off, a noisy sound came from ahead.
She frowned slightly, lifted the carriage curtain, and asked outside, "What's the matter?"
Mo Qing walked over from the front and said, "I met a strange person, come and ask for water." Before the words fell, he saw an old man dressed in gray clothes appear behind him, looked at Shen Miao and said with a smile: "Madam, you are dying of thirst, give saliva to drink." ”
This old man is dressed strangely, his body is stinky, and he stares at people directly, which makes people suspicious, not that he refuses to give water to drink, but Shen Miao's identity is special, in case he meets someone with evil intentions, he is only afraid that something will happen. Mo Qing ordered someone to hold the old man and prevent him from getting close to Shen Miao. Shen Miao smiled and said: "There is a drought along the way, the sky is not beautiful, a bowl of water is a life, give it to him, Ben ...... I don't lack this bowl of water to drink. ”
Since Shen Miao had spoken, Mo Qing simply ordered someone to take a bowl and hold a bowl of water for the old man. The old man poured down in one breath, patted his stomach, brushed the guard's hand and stood up, and made a decent gesture at Shen Miao, and said, "Madame is kind-hearted and saved the life of the poor man." The grace of this bowl of water will also be repaid by the poor. ”
"Poor Dao?" Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Are you a Taoist priest?"
"The name of the law is Red Flame. The strange old man looked at Shen Miao, shook his head and said, "Madame's face is extremely expensive, but her luck is shallow, and she can't bear your luck." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Lu frowned, and looked at Shen Miao again: "Mother...... Madam, maybe he's a charlatan somewhere, don't listen to his nonsense. ”
Mo Qing also made a gesture to drive away this strange old man.
"Wait. Shen Miao said: "It's boring along the way, listen to what people say." ”
The old man pretended to bow again, and said, "Madame's eyebrows have black gas, I'm afraid it's not good." At the end of the road, it is a bad omen. If you turn the horse's head around like this, you can avoid this catastrophe. Madam, I still advise you on the poor road, this road is Huangquan Road, don't go, you can't turn back if you leave. ”
"The more you talk, the more excessive!" Frost's face turned blue: "Who are you cursing?"
Shen Miao is good-tempered, she has been in Qin Country for a long time, and in the face of anyone in Mingqi, she has the same joy as a hometown person, even if this old man is talking nonsense, she is not angry, she just smiled: "Thank you Taoist for reminding me, but I have to go down this road, my children are on this road, I have to go home." ”
The strange Taoist priest sighed deeply and said, "It's expected. He looked at Shen Miao: "Pingshui meets, I will give you a fate." After that, he took out a red rope from his sleeve, and was about to step forward to give it to Shen Miao, but was stopped by Mo Qing, so he had to hand over the red rope to Mo Qing, Mo Qing looked left and right to see nothing strange, and then handed it to Shen Miao.
"This red rope is a gift from the poor road to the lady, and the lady ties it around the wrist, which can achieve her own fate. He said solemnly: "Madam, remember that the way of heaven is treacherous, and things are man-made. The poor road can see the fate, but cannot change the life, and the person who can change the life for the wife is not the poor road. God has the virtue of a good life, there is a catastrophe and fate, this red rope is a question, one day, Mrs. will also find her own solution. ”
With that, he laughed a few times, turned around and strode away.
This Taoist priest and god chattered, but the few prophecies he said were extremely unlucky, and the white dew and frost were a little unhappy. Bai Lu said: "Niangniang, don't take that strange man's words to heart, probably because your brain is not very clear." ”
"Don't wear this thing. Frost also said: "It's unlucky." ”
Shen Miao looked left and right, and felt that the red rope was extremely cute, and she couldn't put it down, so she tied it to her wrist and said with a smile: "I said that since it is a fate, the meeting in Pingshui is also fate, so wear it." If it's false, it's fine, it's really more spiritual, isn't it better?"
Having said that, Bai Lu and Frost Fall couldn't say anything more, Mo Qing set off on the road in front of him, and then started to move again.
The wind and sand in the distance almost covered the figure of the person, but there was no longer the figure of the strange old man on the road ahead.
......
Back to Mingqi, but it is not like the frost said "bitter and sweet".
The world is changing all the time, the situation will change, and people's hearts will also change.
As a queen, there is nothing special except for this status. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that it is not even better than the days when I was humiliated in the Qin State. When he was in the Qin State, those injuries were all on the surface, but in Mingqi, they were in the dark, as if they had suffered a secret loss, and they couldn't say it, but they wanted to make jokes in vain.
Shen Miao sat in the Kunning Palace, looking at the red-sleeved grass on the table, her expression was a little sad.
The red sleeve grass was sent by Mo Qing, saying that it is a rare spiritual grass, and it looks very good, like the sleeves of a woman swinging in the wind, so it is named red sleeve grass. It's just that for some reason it's been a little withered recently, and Shen Miao has no intention of taking care of it.
It's been a few years since she came back to Mingqi, and in the past few years, she hasn't had a good life.
There is one more Mrs. Linalyse in the harem, Mrs. Line, who is delicate and intelligent, charming and soft, like a mystery, which makes people's eyes fall on her for a long time and is reluctant to leave.
At the beginning, it was not without heartbreak, and the man who used to love looked at the woman next to him with such doting eyes. I thought he treated everyone the same coldly, but later found out that it wasn't, but that person wasn't himself.
After more days of heartbreak, I gradually became numb. The pain and malaise gradually turned into hatred and unwillingness, because of Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng always took away too much of Fu Xiuyi's favor, and her child Fu Ming, obviously sitting in the position of the prince, obviously has both ability and political integrity and works hard, but in the end he is like a prince who has fallen out of favor. Fu Xiuyi could teach Fu Sheng to write and discuss politics by hand, but he was stingy to give Fu Ming a more concerned look.
When asked, he said that Fu Ming was the crown prince, and he had to be mature and steady, and what was the matter with pestering his father every day.
But every time she looked at Fu Ming's disappointed eyes, Shen Miao's heart was like a knife.
The Shen family is not doing very well, Luo Xueyan's illness is getting worse and worse, and Jing Chuchu and Shen Qiu are not clear. The reputation of the Shen family has deteriorated, and Shen Xin has aged a lot.
Fu Xiuyi seems to be suppressing the Shen family, Shen Miao is vaguely aware of this, but how can the harem know the things in the court clearly, the only thing she can get into is through Pei Lang, but Pei Lang is loyal to Fu Xiuyi. Although Pei Lang has a good relationship with her, he will always be loyal to Fu Xiuyi first.
Shen Miao's infatuation with Fu Xiuyi had already cooled into ice when he had watched him and Mrs. Yan get good in the past few years. But in her position, she always has to sit firmly in the position of the queen, and always has to fight for some opportunities for Fu Ming and Wanyu.
Recently, there was news from the Huns, and Mrs. Line seemed to want to pry Fu Xiuyi to kiss Wanyu over.
This is what Shen Miao can't bear the most.
However, Mrs. Linai's methods are getting more and more sophisticated, Fu Xiuyi's love for Fu Sheng is in everyone's eyes, the Shen family is not as good as day by day, and there are too many people standing on Mrs. Lintel's side. When you fall into the well, everyone has to step on it. In addition, Mrs. Linai's brother Li Ke has recently completed several major things for Fu Xiuyi, and the tide is rising, and Mrs. Linai's status in the harem is rising.
Shen Miao knew what the courtiers were thinking, they were thinking, when to change the crown prince and when to abolish the queen.
But Fu Xiuyi still has to be faced. She is a wife, and it is not so simple for Mrs. Lintel to cross her end.
Fighting back and forth, going around and around, one of her hearts was already exhausted. If it weren't for these children, sometimes I would feel that it would be better to burn this palace inside and out with a fire, and the world would be peaceful.
Bai Lu walked in and said, "Niangniang, the clothes for the palace banquet have been prepared, you have to comb your hair earlier." ”
Shen Miaoying responded.
Frostfall died a year ago, and Mrs. Lintel is so good that she doesn't even let go of the girl next to her. went around and around, and only Bai Lu was left.
Tonight is the palace banquet of Ming Qi, the New Year is approaching, Fu Xiuyi wants to feast and reward the ministers, of course, the most important thing is to give the little marquis of Lin'an Hou Mansion Xie Jingxing practice. Lin'an Hou Xie Ding died on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and now his son is going out again, in fact, this time is not good, and even makes people feel that this trip is a little tragic, but Xie Jingxing still accepted the order to ask for the commander.
Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing don't have much intersection, but because of the delicate relationship between the Shen family and the Xie family. Since the time of Xie Ding, there has been only Xie Jingxing supporting the lintel alone. This is inevitably a little embarrassing, the original South Xie and North Shen, but now the Shen family is not as good as day by day, and the Xie family is gradually declining, which really teaches people to die and the fox is sad.
However, Xie Jingxing has his way to go, why is Shen Miao's own path not difficult?
She said, "Comb your hair." ”
The silk and bamboo are disturbing, and this palace banquet is really extraordinarily lively.
Fu Xiuyi hadn't been so happy for a long time, his always cold expression was much softer, and his smile became extremely pleasant. Shen Miao looked coldly at Fu Sheng to toast him, the father and son looked happy, but there was a little chill in their hearts.
Fu Ming sat on the side, and Wanyu also sat in a proper manner. Those courtiers always praised the prince and princess, who were extremely sensible at a young age, but had the demeanor of a little adult, and such a dignified bearing was not something that everyone could grow. Although it is a polite remark, it is almost the same, but I don't want to think about it, if people can wantonly behave coquettishly, who wants to be sensible? Sensible is just forced out.
Wan Yu and Fu Ming also tried hard to get close to Fu Xiuyi, and then the children's minds were the most direct and simple, and they could feel Fu Xiuyi's coldness, so they gradually became polite and polite.
Shen Miao sat next to Fu Xiuyi, but watched Fu Xiuyi exchange glances with Mrs. Linyi from time to time, Mrs. Linyi smiled and smiled, it was really affectionate, and Fu Xiuyi also smiled slightly.
Shen Miao thought, the two of them must be really happy.
But what about the protagonist of this palace banquet?
Shen Miao couldn't help but look at the man on the left side of the feast.
The young man was stunningly handsome, sitting in a languid manner, his dark purple robe a little wide, but it still couldn't hide his spirit. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and drank slowly, as if the noise in the audience had nothing to do with him, and it was incompatible with the excitement.
Shen Miao laughed in her heart, feeling that this little marquis of Lin'an Hou Mansion was a little similar to herself. The house was full of excitement and joy, but in fact, the heart was not very happy. Xie Jingxing is going to take a bloody road of uncertain life and death, and she doesn't know what the end of her life will be in the end.
The abdomen and back are attacked by the enemy, embattled, and they are all desperate for their lives hanging by a thread.
She also took the wine glass, poured herself wine and drank it, one sip at a time, but the drink was extremely restrained.
The queen, always be dignified and gentle, not like a favorite concubine, drink delicately, charming and intoxicating.
When the feast left, the people dispersed in twos and threes. She sat in her position and heard Mrs. Lintel say: "Your Majesty, the concubine has prepared good wine tonight, Your Majesty and the concubine will watch the fireworks together, Sheng Er also said that she wants to compete with Your Majesty in chess." ”
Fu Xiuyi laughed, pointed at Mrs. Line's nose and said, "This competitive personality is really exactly the same as you!"
Shen Miao's sentence "All year round, Wanyu and the prince also want to accompany the emperor" swallowed.
Looking back, the gloom between the two children's eyes made her heart ache.
But he also endured the pain, and his face became lighter.
But this New Year, I can't sleep at all.
She coaxed the two children to sleep, only to feel that the two children were not very enthusiastic about the arrival of the New Year, and the sound of fireworks came from the palace wall, which was late at night. Presumably, the three of them are also very affectionate.
Shen Miao put on her clothes, ordered Bai Lu to take a jar of wine and a bowl, and went to the garden by herself.
From a corner of the garden, you can see the fireworks, the fireworks can only see a small half, but it is a small half, and it is also extremely gorgeous, almost reflecting the entire sky, you can imagine the other side, you can see the whole picture, and what kind of good scenery it is.
She took out a bowl, Bai Lu was a little distressed, and Shen Miao waved her hand to tell her not to speak.
"These fireworks are so beautiful. Shen Miao's voice was low, with a drunken feeling: "When can I watch it in its entirety?"
She suddenly laughed again: "Probably not." ”
As he was talking, he heard footsteps coming from behind him, and his boots stepped on the snow, making a "rustling" sound.
Bai Lu was startled and said, "You ......." ”
Shen Miao turned around and saw someone brushing away the heavy shadows of the trees and stepping forward.
A person dressed as a guard was behind, and the person standing in front of him was tall, with a purple robe and green boots, and a pair of peach blossom eyes reflecting the fireworks in the night, which was exceptionally bright and moving, and very beautiful.
"The ...... of the Lin'an Hou Mansion Master Xie?" Shen Miao squinted at him.
The man also seemed to be a little surprised, and said with a "tsk", "Fu Xiuyi's queen turned out to be a drunkard. ”
The guard behind him said, "Master, we should go." ”
Bai Lu was also a little nervous, and she didn't know why Xie Jingxing was still in the palace. But a queen, a courtier, if she is seen standing together, something big may happen, especially these days Shen Miao is already struggling in the palace, once she is caught, she will not hesitate to pour dirty water on her. At this time, the farther away from the prince of the Lin'an Hou Mansion is naturally the better.
Bai Lu didn't dare to alarm others, this garden was also very remote, so she whispered: "Lord Shizi, the queen mother is a little drunk, and the slave is about to help her go back, and she asks Lord Shizi to pretend not to see it." ”
Xie Jingxing glanced at Shen Miao and laughed, but he was a little uninterested, and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Shen Miao called him.
Bai Lu was stunned, and she was so anxious that she wanted to cover Shen Miao's mouth. Shen Miao was staring at Xie Jingxing, she was a little drunk at this moment, since she went to Qin State to the present, she had never drunk wine recklessly, but the words of relieving a thousand sorrows with a glass of wine were not false. When people get drunk, they will be relaxed, relaxed, and they will do many things that they would not do on a daily basis.
She said, "I heard that you are going to Northern Xinjiang?"
Xie Jingxing hugged his chest and said with a smile: "What does the queen have to order?"
Tie Yi and Bai Lu both stared at Shen Miao, Shen Miao smiled, took out the bowl he had just drunk from the table, poured a large bowl of wine from the jar, motioned to Xie Jingxing to look, and said: "Young talent, eternal figure, brilliant talent, unparalleled in the world!"
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows, Bai Lu was so ashamed that he wanted to drag Shen Miao away, how could he boast of a flower in front of people like this.
"Northern Xinjiang is a very bad place. Shen Miao patted him on the shoulder, she was petite, and she had to stand on tiptoe when she patted someone's shoulder, and looked at Xie Jingxing again, half serious and half drunk: "I heard my father say that there is no grass there, the terrain is treacherous, and there are many poisonous snakes, insects and ants, so it is easy to fall into the trap." You're in danger. ”
"Thank you. Xie Jingxing said casually.
"The thousand-year-old annals are nameless, and a piece of Dan will repay the Son of Heaven!" she muttered, raised the wine bowl in Xie Jingxing's hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Bai Lu and Tie Yi were both startled, the former didn't expect Shen Miao to drink as soon as he said it, and the latter was surprised that the queen would be so bold.
Shen Miao wiped her mouth, burped, and said, "This is a bowl of wine that this palace respects you, you must be triumphant!"
Xie Jingxing stared at her, there was still unwiped wine on her lips, shining on her lips, very beautiful, under the moonlight, her face showed a delicate appearance that could not be seen in the daytime. stripped of the shackles of the queen, she is actually a very delicate and beautiful woman.
He pursed his lips, his smile showed a bit of evil, and he said slowly: "The emperor seems to have snubbed the queen." ”
Bai Lu's eyes widened, this Xie Jingxing's words were too presumptuous, but she didn't dare to drag Shen Miao away directly, lest Shen Miao make any noise and alarm others, it would really be impossible to tell.
After Shen Miao finished drinking, she picked up the wine jar again, poured a big bowl full of it, handed it to Xie Jingxing, and said, "You drink it too!"
"Why should I drink?" Xie Jingxing was inexplicable.
"You, and this palace are in sympathy!" Shen Miao said.
"Who has the same disease as you?" Xie Jingxing laughed. Shen Miao had already held the wine bowl and fed it to his mouth.
Bai Lu was shocked, this is too ambiguous! Tie Yi was also surprised, but Xie Jingxing didn't speak, he wouldn't make a move.
Xie Jingxing was unexpectedly poured a bowl of wine, and when Shen Miao was pushed away, a lot of wine was spilled on his clothes, but when he looked at Shen Miao, he finally smiled with satisfaction. She said: "You and I have a bowl of wine, and when you return triumphantly, come and watch the fireworks with the palace!"
Xie Jingxing felt that today was really inexplicable. It turns out that it is irrational for a woman to be drunk and crazy, even if she is a queen who looks dignified and gentle, she is really like two people.
"The queen mother, let's find the emperor to see. He straightened his clothes.
Shen Miao was gloomy: "This palace has never seen fireworks with him." ”
Xie Jingxing stared at the woman opposite, she lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth rose, but her eyes were bitter, he inexplicably softened a little, and said, "Okay, okay, Weichen promised you." ”
Shen Miao's eyes lit up, looked at him and said, "Then that's right." ”
Xie Jingxing nodded.
Shen Miao thought for a while, shook her head and said, "There is no basis for what you say, you have to have a token to make it." He began to touch the hairpin ring in his hair.
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, if this was the queen's thing on Xie Jingxing, it would be a crime of fornication. I was afraid that Shen Miao would give the other party some handkerchief and hairpin, but suddenly saw the red rope on Shen Miao's wrist, so she had an idea and said, "Niangniang, your red rope is very good!"
Shen Miao's eyes fell on the red rope, and as soon as her heart moved, she quickly untied it, took Xie Jingxing's hand, and tied it seriously for him.
Xie Jingxing's eyes fell on her slightly upturned eyelashes, which were wet, as if they were shallow and moisturized with the cold air of winter, which inexplicably made people's hearts itch slightly.
Shen Miao tied him up and smiled at him: "This is a token given to you by the palace, take this as a letter, and wait for you to triumph!"
"Thank you, Queen, for the reward. Xie Jingxing smiled casually: "But Weichen doesn't have any tokens to give to the queen." Why don't you give the queen a wish?"
"Wish?" Shen Miao looked at him.
"Triumphant again, Wechen can give Niangniang a wish, Niangniang's wish, Wechen can do it, and he will do his best. ”
Shen Miao said: "A word is a certainty!"
"It's a deal. ”
With a "boom", the corner of the sky was once again lit up by bright fireworks, and the two looked at it together, but it seemed to have a tacit understanding, which was unusually compatible.
Bai Lu was also stunned.
Fireworks are fleeting, but some things don't go away, like this night.
When Shen Miao woke up again, she only felt a splitting headache, and while rubbing her forehead, she stood up and walked to the table, saying, "I've slept for such a long time." ”
Bai Lu brought her hot soup and said, "Niangniang drank too much yesterday, wake up first." ”
"Drink too much?" Shen Miao moved: "I didn't drink much at the palace banquet." ”
Bai Lu was a little weak-hearted and said, "It's about the wine at the palace banquet that is very strong." ”
Shen Miao nodded, and sighed again: "The problem of not being able to remember anything when you are drunk in this palace has really not changed for so many years, but it has not been drunk for a long time. ”
Bai Lu nodded, only to hear Shen Miao look at his empty wrist again: "Why is this red rope missing?"
Bai Lu whispered, "It's about ...... Throw it away. ”
Shen Miao sighed: "It's really not long-lasting." ”
The sun was blazing, and the departing procession was at the city gate.
The young man led by Rong Ma Xuanang, obviously with a lazy smile, but his eyes were cold and he didn't dare to force his eyes.
"Master, it's all ready. Tie Yi said.
Xie Jingxing glanced behind him, out of this city gate, the future of the future is different, which also means that it is cut off from the past, and there is no more involvement.
I'm going to leave after all.
"There's nothing to be nostalgic about here," the man in white next to him shook his fan and said, "It has nothing to do with you." ”
"Maybe they are looking forward to the third brother going and not going back. The son-in-law in the pine green robe smiled and looked at the front again: "No matter what, I'm finally going home." ”
"Not necessarily. ”
The two of them looked at the man in purple together.
Xie Jingxing lowered his head, his gaze fell on his wrist, where a red rope was tied, and the end of the red rope was carefully knotted by the upright boy, as if it was firm and would never be loosened.
"Isn't this something that women wear?" Ji Yushu asked, "What are you wearing this for?"
"I drank someone's farewell wine and owed someone a wish. Xie Jingxing said: "I'll pay it back when I come back." ”
He retracted his gaze and raised his whip: "Get up!"
Let's go.?
