Yang Ruoning followed Qingye to walk around the imperial garden full of exotic flowers and plants, and came to the ancestral hall of the royal family. In the long ancestral hall full of Da Song's ancestors, Yang Ruo stared at Qingye's ancestors and sighed again that he couldn't understand this Chinese portrait painting at all.

"Why do I think the people in this painting all look the same? How do you tell who's who? Yang Ruoning couldn't help but ask Qingye.

"I couldn't tell the difference before, but I had too many experiences of being punished for copying books here, and I remembered it over time," Aono said back.

"Which one is your father?" Yang Ruoning asked again.

Aono pointed to a painting at the end of the corridor and said, "Over there." ”

The two of them came to the painting and looked up at the portrait of the emperor. Yang Ruoning tried to find the similarity between him and Qingye from this portrait, but she looked at it for a long time and failed. Maybe their eyebrows are a bit alike? It's all that kind of thick black and heroic eyebrow shape.

On the small square table directly in front of the portrait is a small box of great delicacy. Yang Ruoning asked, "What's in there?" ”

"The relics of the emperor, hair, nails, the eunuchs will put them away in this box after driving." Aono replied.

Hair nails? It sounds a little disgusting, but ...... Yang Ruoning thought of the variety show on TV that was very bloody to help people deal with housework and do paternity testing. I thought that if I took all the hair here for DNA, I would find a lot of interesting things.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoning couldn't help laughing.

"What are you thinking?" Aono saw it, raised his eyebrows and asked her curiously.

"I'm thinking...... If it were placed with us, these ancestors of yours would not dare to offer these hairs here. ”

"Oh, how?"

"Hehe, we have there, anthropologists and archaeologists can use a technology called DNA to discover a lot of secrets of the human body, and they use these hairs." Yang Ruoning pointed to the small boxes and said.

"What's the secret, for example?"

"Well, let's say if he's his biological son, hehehe." Yang Ruoning casually pointed to the two portraits and said.

Hearing this, Qingye's expression darkened, but it was fleeting, and of course Yang Ruoning didn't notice it. A few seconds of silence made Yang Ruoning feel that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly changed the subject. "I think you're more like your mother, though." Yang Ruoning said to Qingye.

"Actually, I've never met him either. He died shortly after I was born, and all my memories of him are just this painting. ”

"Do you miss him?"

"Actually, I don't know." Aono turned to her, "Let's go, go a little further, and you'll be at Jingfu Palace." ”

Ha, it's the emperor's harem, Yang Ruoning became excited.

Aono saw her eyes suddenly lit up, and said mockingly, "Have you read too many boring street novels?" The harem has always been a wretched woman. Besides, my harem ...... is empty. ”

"Empty? Is no one home today? ”

"......" Aono rolled his eyes a little speechlessly. It's that I haven't taken a concubine yet. Let's go, I'll take you to my dormitory. ”

When Yang Ruoning and Qing Ye passed by a courtyard, a few little eunuchs happened to come out of the courtyard carrying a wooden board covered with a white cloth. In a hurry, they almost bumped into Yang Ruoning.

The old eunuch in the lead shouted, "So bold, this is the forbidden place of the harem, how dare you trespass in?!" ”

Yang Ruoning hurriedly apologized, and Qingye behind him walked over quickly.

When the old eunuch saw that it was the emperor, he hurriedly knelt down, "The old slave doesn't know that His Majesty is here, and he deserves death." ”

Aono cleared his throat, "Get up." ”

Yang Ruoning saw a strand of greasy and dirty hair fall out from under the white cloth, and the shape under the white cloth was ...... Is it an emaciated corpse? Yang Ruoning was so frightened by this discovery that she covered her mouth, and she took a few steps back.

The old eunuch saw Yang Ruoning's reaction, and only then did he find the strand of hair that fell out. Immediately, in a panic, he tucked the strand of hair back under the white cloth.

Aono said expressionlessly, "Don't carry it away yet!" ”

The eunuchs hurriedly carried the corpse and walked away quickly.

Yang Ruoning looked back at Qingye, "What's that?" ”

"It's probably a slave who has found a short-sighted one," Aono said calmly, as if discussing the weather today.

Yang Ruoning looked at Qingye and didn't know what to say for a while.

Aono looked at her, "Do you think I'm cold?" If you have lived in this palace for more than ten years......"

Before Qingye's words were finished, a little eunuch hurriedly came over there and said that the Queen Mother invited the emperor and Miss Yang to sit down.

So, the two of them walked through the imperial garden and went to the queen mother's bedroom.

In the hospitality hall, Jiang Yuefeng and a middle-aged man were sitting on one side drinking tea.

There was a fire in the hall, and the warmth was thick. Jiang Yuefeng faded her plain green clothes and turned back into the graceful and luxurious Queen Mother. The man sitting across from her was also dressed in luxurious satin, and his jade belt was inlaid with gems and pearls. Although he looks like he is already middle-aged, he has an extraordinary temperament, and he is also a graceful and beautiful man when he is young.

After Qingye entered, he first saluted Jiang Yuefeng, and then the man leaned over and saluted Qingye, "Your Majesty." ”

"Uncle." Aono replied.

It turned out that he was Qingye's uncle, Jiang Yuefeng's elder brother, and the actual ruler of Da Song, Jiang Qi. Under his management, Da Song's economic development is not bad, but at the same time, there are many problems, such as harsh government and heavy taxation, and many complaints from the people.

After Yang Ruoning saluted, she was pulled by Jiang Yuefeng to sit next to her. Qingye sat next to Jiang Yuefeng, while Jiang Qi sat where he started.

Jiang Qi said to Yang Ruoning, "The old minister was very surprised to hear the Queen Mother mention your matter. In fact, Ruoxuan and I have had a few encounters. ”

"Oh? It turns out that Master Jiang has also seen my brother? ”

"Yes, at that time, Yue Feng was young and ignorant, which always gave my father a headache. I've met Ruoxuan a few times because of the moon. ”

Yang Ruoning said, "Yuefeng told me the story before she entered the palace. ”

After that, a few more small talks. At this time, Jiang Yuefeng suddenly put down the teacup in her hand and said to Qingye, "Today, all the ladies are here, and you will see if there is a girl you like in a while." ”

Yang Ruoning was stunned and raised her eyes to look at Qingye. She thought to herself, no wonder she deliberately asked everyone to bring their daughters, it turned out that they were not inviting everyone to taste books, but the real intention was a blind date conference!

Aono was a little upset, and he threw the half-bitten pastry back on the plate in anger. "I said it, the queen's affairs can wait a little longer!"

"Your Majesty, this matter can't wait any longer." Jiang Yuefeng suddenly thought of something, and she asked again, "Does the emperor have a favorite girl?" ”

Qingye was silent for a while and said, "I want to marry a woman as interesting as Yang Ruoning." “

Hearing her name, Yang Ruoning choked on a sip of tea and coughed violently. "Green ...... Ah, no, the emperor ......"

Jiang Yuefeng became serious, "Your Majesty, this is not a joke!" “

"I said, it's someone as interesting as her, and I didn't say I wanted to marry her." Aono said impatiently.

Jiang Qi, who was sitting on the side and listening to their conversation, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you have to put the society first, and you can't look at the private affairs of your children after the election!" The matter after the establishment must be decided as soon as possible, and it cannot be shirked anymore! ”

Jiang Qi's words seemed to have settled this matter. Jiang Yuefeng and Qingye fell silent for a while. Although Yang Ruoning knew that Qingye was a puppet emperor, when she saw him being reprimanded by Jiang Qi and fell silent, she suddenly felt a little sorry for Qingye. It's just a matter of saying the world's major events (it seems that he is not a person who cares about politics), but he doesn't even have the right to love freely, so what this puppet emperor did is really aggrieved.

The continuous low pressure in the room made Yang Ruoning feel very embarrassed, but fortunately, a little eunuch came over to remind her that the dinner was about to start, and it was time to move to the main hall. In order to avoid suspicion, Yang Ruoning said goodbye to them and went to the main hall alone.

When she finally asked for directions all the way to find the treasure hall where the banquet was held, everyone had already drunk three rounds, and the banquet had also entered its climax. Yang Ruoning saw Jiang Yuefeng and Qingye sitting on the main seat in the middle of the hall, and the ministers were on both sides, and in the middle of the hall, the singers and musicians were performing.

Luo Yuan sat on the right, separated from Qing Ye by four tables. He was dressed in white today and had an outstanding temperament, which can be described as overwhelming the audience, even if he was in a room full of people, Yang Ruoning still saw him at a glance.

She slipped in quietly and sat in the empty seat behind Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan turned around when he saw her coming over and asked where she had gone and why she came here so late. Yang Ruoning explained to him apologetically that he had lost his way in the Imperial Garden and had spent a little more time.

Yes, she was late, of course there was a lost relationship, but most of all because of the letter. She read the letter in the Imperial Garden. Jaso

of letters. It's Jaso

Letters written to her in English.

The front of the letter, Jaso

Apologize to her, explain to her how he came into the world through the black hole, explain how the passage of time is different here.

Jaso

Say, according to our time, he was only here for ten days, but here ten years have passed. He said that during this time he met a lot of people and experienced a lot of things. He wanted to talk to Yang Ruoning one by one, but he didn't know if he could finish it. He said that his addiction to drugs here was never done again, and he felt more and more that this was where he belonged.

But it's obviously an unfinished letter, the last sentence of the letter, Jaso

Wrote, Sis, do you remember what Mom said when we just moved to our new home in Los Angeles County?

Of course Yang Ruoning remembers.

The year they just moved in, Yang Ruoning was only twelve years old, Jaso

Seven years old. She still remembers the real estate agent showing the family around the house, pointing to a large lawn behind the house and saying that the next hectare of land was with the house. Then she pointed at Jaso

Say, if you move in, the little one will have a place to play.

Maybe when I retire, I can build a playground in my yard, Dad said.

Yang Ruoning said, Dad, when you retire, we will already be past the age of the playground.

Mom said, "I think it's a good idea, grandpa is building a playground for the grandchildren." I'm already starting to look forward to my retirement.

Those days when she grew up were trivial and plain, and in the quarrels and joys, Yang Ruoning never thought that she would lose everyone one day. Those rushed into the garage in a huff and whined about Jaso

The days of playing heavy metal music with a few of his friends seemed to have happened not so long ago. When I was in junior high school, Jaso

Hooked on bass, the garage at home is home to him and the school's rock bandmates, who always practice in the garage after school.

It's just that everything happened abruptly when she was eighteen years old. She resented why she had slipped out in the middle of the night to attend that party. If she hadn't been to that party, she wouldn't have been taken away by the police who came to search for marijuana, and her parents wouldn't have rushed to the police station on that rainy night...... And that car accident wouldn't have happened......

Those things that you take for granted become your cruelest nightmare after you lose the person you love the most. The chair at the kitchen table where my mother used to sit was empty, the mug of the morning coffee we enjoyed together every day was dusty, and the sound of my father's car driving into the garage at the end of the day was no longer heard......

After the funeral, she fled to New York to attend college. Will Jaso

Leaving my grandmother alone to take care of, she did everything she could not to come home on all the holidays of the reunion.

She is a sinner. She's going to atone for her sins, to Jaso

Sins committed. Thinking of this, Yang Ruoning drank all the wine in her hand.

When she looked up, she saw Aono looking at her suspiciously. When Yang Ruoning's gaze met his, Qingye gently raised his right eyebrow and raised the wine glass in his hand to her.

Qingye's small facial movement reminded Yang Ruoning of Jaso

, that's Jaso too

Habitual movements.

The sound of silk and bamboo and the noisy voices in the house are annoying. She excused herself to go to the hut and left quickly.

Yang Ruoning quickly walked to a secluded courtyard. There is a pond and several rockeries and flower beds in the courtyard. The night air after the snow is a little cold, but it also makes the brain clear and sharp.

After a while, she heard someone walking towards her behind her. She thought it was Luo Yuan who came out to look for her, but when she looked back, she saw that it was Qingye.

Qingye, Yang Ruoning thought.

She suddenly realized something, and she asked Qingye, "Your name is Qingye, Zhao Qingye?" ”

Qingye put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and pretended to be stern, "Bold, you dare to call this emperor by his name." ”

“Come o

, I'm not kidding you, is your name really Aono? ”

"Of course not, my single name is a Yun character, and Qingye is just a milk name."

"Milk name? Your mother's name for you? Did your mother tell you why she named you Aono? ”

"It's probably the meaning of green fields, hoping that I will have vigorous vitality like weeds."

G

ee

field, green field, that's Jaso

The name of the band. The band that was born in their garage and was complained about by neighbors countless times was Jaso

The most precious dream of my youth.

The building that carries my father's and mother's vision for the future, and the garage is called G

ee

Field's band, Jaso

, your unfinished letter is to tell me that you found love and had children here?

There is only one way to know the truth, although this truth is a secret that can shake the bloodline of the imperial throne, and it is a secret that Jiang Yuefeng will bring into the grave.

But Yang Ruoning is different, she must determine the truth, because she saw their fate, and she was carrying Jaso

, she wants to protect her last family.

She must now leave at once and return to the present day.

On the carriage back home, Yang Ruoning said, "Luo Yuan, I need to go back, go back to my world." ”

"Why so suddenly?"

"Can't wait."

"Can't wait for what?"

She frantically searched for an excuse, and she heard herself say, "Get married...... Since I need to go back and get a wedding dress, the one I wore for the ceremony, according to our way, that's my dream......"

Before the words were finished, Yang Ruoning already regretted it. This is probably the worst excuse Yang Ruoning can think of.
