Chapter Twenty-Six: Entering the Palace on a Snowy Night
This is a very speechless answer.
Just like Tang Thirty-six said, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong are really two people who make people speechless.
Or it was precisely because of this that after Xu Yourong heard Chen Changsheng's answer, he was not too surprised, let alone angry, but very satisfied.
He only remembered that he was going to come to Fusui Road after dusk to eat bean curd fish, although he finally ate beef bones, he only remembered the words he said in Zhou Ling, so he divided the gold and silver treasures into two piles, and used more than half of them to exchange for the grassland in the lower reaches of the Red River, although she had nothing to do with the Xiuling clan, he only remembered that he promised her to withdraw from the marriage, so he did not hesitate to be criticized by the people of Kyoto, and he also asked His Majesty the Pope to forcibly dissolve the marriage contract, although this matter now seems very stupid, and he is now in a hurry how to get the marriage book back......
Getting something wrong doesn't matter, forgetting something doesn't matter, it's even less important, as long as you remember something.
Because of Chen Changsheng's answer and the fragrant beef bones in the iron pot, Xu Yourong did not have any regrets about handing out a small note on the bridge.
She whispered, "I ate well, thank you." ”
After saying this, she stood up, put away the grassland, picked up the yellow paper umbrella from the ground, and walked out of the store.
The noisy and lively sound came over in an instant, Chen Changsheng was slightly stunned, watching her lift the curtain and walk out, and suddenly remembered that there was one most important thing that he forgot to give her, he hurriedly chased after it, the cold wind was blowing, and there were snowflakes floating on the night street, but where could I still see her?
He looked at the string of ten stones on his wrist and thought to himself that he would not be able to forget such an important thing next time.
The voice of the shopkeeper came from the side: "Guest, there is still a small half pot of beef bones left, are you going to pack it or do you plan to eat it for a while?"
Chen Changsheng turned around to look, only to see that the shopkeeper's expression was a little uneasy, and after being stunned, he realized that the other party was worried that he was defaulting on the debt.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and looked at him a little nervously.
......
......
Carrying the packed beef bones, Chen Changsheng returned to the National Education College.
The winter forest by the lake looks a little gloomy at night, but fortunately, the snow line carried on the branches of the trees dilutes this feeling. There was a low, thunderous sound faintly from the depths of the forest, and occasionally a few extremely thin, lightning-like bright lines floated out, which was Xuanyuan Po practicing.
Su Moyu was guiding the freshmen in the library building, and the folded sleeves that were gradually healing from his injuries did not know which snowdrift to hone his spirit and will, only Tang Thirty-six did not go anywhere, nor was he in his room, but waited for him in Chen Changsheng's room.
It's not just that he is very curious about Chen Changsheng's whereabouts, and it's not that he really has reached the point of being angry with people and gods to explore other people's secrets, but because the thing he is holding in his hand now must be handed over to Chen Changsheng in his own hands, so that he can rest assured.
Even if he is the richest man in the world, if he loses that kind of thing, he can't afford to pay for it.
Because it's a scepter that represents the authority of the state religion, and you can't buy it even if you have the money.
Tang Thirty-six had been sitting in the room for a long time, thinking about the embarrassing scene in the palace before, thinking about those eyes like real swords, until now, he felt that his back was a little sore, and thinking that Chen Changsheng didn't know where to be happy at this time, and his mood was getting worse and worse.
So when Chen Changsheng returned to the room, of course, he saw an ugly face.
I don't know why, maybe it's because of the hidden facts, so looking at his face, Chen Changsheng was a little uneasy, put the food box on the table, pretended not to see him sitting on his bed, pretended that he didn't have any cleanliness, and said very carefully: "The beef bones in Fusui Road taste very good." ”
"His Majesty's scepter, it tastes even better. ”
No matter how ugly Tang Thirty-Six's face was, it was difficult to see where it went, but the anger represented by the deliberate indifference was easy to see.
Chen Changsheng took the scepter and was very surprised, although Tang Thirty-six had predicted this matter beforehand and reminded him, he still didn't expect it.
Tang Thirty-six looked at him and said in a cold voice, "You don't plan to confess?"
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "I just made an appointment with someone to have a meal, it's not a big deal." ”
"But what can't be said?"
"Hmm. ”
"And who are you going to eat with?"
"Can't say ...... either"
Chen Changsheng was a little nervous, thinking about sitting and drinking with Xu Yourong before, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
Looking at this scene, Tang Thirty-six gasped and said, "Woman?"
Chen Changsheng was surprised and asked, "How did you see it?"
Tang Thirty-six sneered and said, "Look at your face full of spring breeze and the appearance of the Seven Feelings, Xuanyuan Po can't see it." ”
Chen Changsheng was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Three days, three days at the latest. Tang Thirty-six looked at him and gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely be able to find out what happened to you, obviously I have only seen Xu Yourong, but I was not fascinated, but went to meet other girls, I am really curious about what that girl has to become." ”
Chen Changsheng was a little puzzled, and a little faintly unconvinced, and asked, "Why can't I go to meet Xu Yourong?"
Tang Thirty-six looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Xu Yourong will meet you in private?" ”
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't you want to call me my eldest brother when you fold your sleeves?"
Tang Thirty-six laughed when he heard this, and then thought of something, and his smile suddenly narrowed.
He looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "I actually learned to tell jokes, and it's really funny...... You're really done. ”
Chen Changsheng was puzzled and asked, "What?"
Tang Thirty-six looked at him sympathetically and said, "It seems that you really like that girl, otherwise your temperament will not change drastically, what will you do in the future?"
......
......
Chen Changsheng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, until late at night, still unable to fall asleep.
After the age of ten, except for the period when he first entered Kyoto to attract starlight and was never successful, this was the first time he had insomnia.
Tang Thirty-six's last words seemed to tear open the layer of window paper, allowing the starlight to fall on the snowfield in his body, illuminating all his thoughts clearly.
In the past six months after leaving Zhou Yuan, he often thinks of her, whether it is on the big banyan tree by the lake, or among the boulders of Zhou Ling, but what he doesn't understand is that kind of missing is missing missing, until today when the white veil falls on Nai He Bridge, I see her eyes, especially in the tavern before, she was wrapped in a big cotton jacket, sipped soju, and gnawed bones, which is different from Zhou Yuan, different from people's legends, but it is extremely real, real and beautiful, so people want to get close.
So this miss came to fruition, and it had real weight.
The real and weighty longing is called lovesickness, and once it is lovesick, it is difficult to fall asleep.
Chen Changsheng is a person who is quick to talk and quick to act, he can't sleep anyway, since he wants to see her, then go to see her.
Xu Yourong told him not to let anyone know about the things they once met, so he had no way to see her through normal channels, so he could only go to see her secretly.
He got up, got dressed, floated out of the window, crossed the winter forest, took out the key, opened the excellent secret door on the palace wall, which was concealed by green vines, and walked in.
Pushing the heavy door open a crack, looking at the deep palace in the night, he was a little nervous, so much so that the whistle was a little hoarse.
He is a very regular teenager, rarely do this kind of thing, although he has secretly entered the palace several times, but now the situation is a little different from the beginning, last night the Pope Xià officially announced to the entire continent that he is the successor of the state religion, but now he is breaking into the palace at night, if someone finds out, it will really be a big incident.
The wind and snow drifted slowly, and the red walls and yellow eaves of the palace were painted white.
The Holy Queen Niangniang looked at the snowflakes outside the window, a slight mocking smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and said, "Do you know when people are the most courageous?"
The confluence of the north and south is close at hand, and the matters in all aspects have increased sharply, Mo Yu was still accompanying Niangniang to deal with affairs until late at night, and he was already a little tired, and suddenly listened to this question, and was stunned before he reacted, and said softly: "Facing the hour of death?"
"Not wrong, but there's another situation...... Because of love. ”
The Holy Queen Niangniang looked at the night palace outside the window and said, "Or, in other words, the sky is full of lust." ”
The sky is full of snow and lights, and the palace seems to be daytime, not like late night, so the black things are a little obvious.
When Chen Changsheng saw the black sheep slowly walking from the snow-covered square, he felt a lot of gratitude.
He told the black sheep what he meant.
The black sheep looked at him twice, turned around and walked somewhere, I don't know how long it took, raised his horn at a certain palace in front of him, and then turned around and disappeared into the snowy night.
The location of the palace is excellent, not very remote, but it is very quiet, and in the depths of winter, there are many green trees around the palace, which is very unusual.
It seems that the rumors are true, and the Holy Queen Niangniang dotes on her very much, even more than the princess of Pingguo.
Then if the state religion and the imperial court split in the future, and the Pope's uncle and the holy queen Niangniang fought, she would definitely want to help Niangniang, what should I do? Suddenly, he remembered what she had said in the tavern, and found that this was indeed a problem, and he could forget about it for a while, but he couldn't keep thinking about it.
The wind and snow in front of the hall were a little cold, but his face was a little hot at first, and then it gradually became cold at this time, not because his heart was cold, but because he needed to calm down.
He had come to see her, but he didn't move for a long time, he didn't mean to sneak into the palace, he just stood there.
I don't know how long it took, but a voice came into his ears, and it was hers.
"You...... What are you doing standing here?"
He looked towards the place where the voice had begun, and saw that a window on the east side of the palace was still open, and as he walked over, he saw her silhouette reflected in the light.
She sat at the table in front of the window, a book in her hand.
It was late at night, but she hadn't slept yet, for some reason, I don't know if it was the same reason that he hadn't been able to sleep.
"I ...... I want to come and meet you. He said to her through the window.
Xu Yourong whispered at the window, "Didn't you just meet?"
Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "But...... I can't sleep. ”
Xu Yourong turned to look out the window, a little uneasy, thinking to himself what happened to make people like him unable to sleep?
You must know that in Zhou Yuan, even if there were countless terrifying beasts lurking in the sea of grass around him, he could fall asleep very calmly.
"What's going on?"
"It's okay...... I just can't sleep when I think about it. ”
......
......
(Tonight, Xu Yourong's name is An Hong.) )
