Late at night, sinking like water.

The majestic capital of the Great Zhou, like a long dragon, quietly entrenched in the hinterland of the Central Plains, known as the "center of the world", countless tributaries from the northern rivers, such as Yongding River, Yudai River, Wenyu River, Fenghua Water and other large and small rivers, lie horizontally around Gyeonggi, reflecting the undulating Qingliang Mountains outside the city, staring at the broad outline of the capital, but adding a little aura to this glorious imperial capital.

The gentle moonlight, sprinkled all over the bricks and gravels of the capital, shrouded the Great Zhou Empire under the night; The blurry moonlight seemed to put on a silver glittering coat for the entire capital.

Now, just at night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the bleakness of the dark night dilutes the last afterglow of the sunset, and falls into the black that can't be seen; Gradually, the vast sea of dark gray clouds on the horizon rose higher and higher, higher and higher, until it extended to the end of the vast universe, completely submerged in the unprovoked darkness, and there was no light in sight.

It is night, the silver moon is in the sky, a large piece of clear light is sprinkled, the night scene is picturesque for a while, occasionally a few summer cicadas, dormant in the branches and singing, in addition, it is like the silence of the starry sky, and there is no life.

The summer night in the capital is quiet, silent, in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the day, especially after nightfall, in the huge upper capital, except for the guards who fight the watch and the officers and soldiers of the imperial forest who patrol the city, it is rare to see the flow of people on the street, because according to the system of the imperial court, once the Beijing division is curfew, the people of the city are not allowed to walk around at will, even in normal times, they rarely see people on the street, not to mention the hot summer night.

Bright as the moon.

Jingxi, Huanhua Creek.

This is located in the north of Xuande Gate, by the Zhou people named the "three unique in Beijing" reputation of the imperial capital river, in the midsummer night against the backdrop, is still as calm as ever, no daylight, no light and shadow, no white gulls cut through the sky, only a dull quiet; At that time, it was the midsummer season when the heat was extremely high, it was not particularly obvious at night, but it was particularly obvious during the day, the blazing sun, shining on the rippling water surface of Huanhua Creek, with a slight yellowish water vapor, making the whole Huanhua Creek fall into an annoying damp heat, fortunately, the mountain breeze did not stop for many years, so as to slightly relieve the boredom caused by the summer.

Huanhua Creek on a summer night is like a quiet and beautiful picture.

At this moment, a hook of the waning moon, hanging obliquely in the night sky, sprinkled with countless brilliant silver glow, reflecting the sparkling water moon cave sky of Huanhua Creek, like a brand new bronze mirror, reflecting the bright moon and shining stars in the sky, clear and clear.

At night, the breeze blows through the stream, bringing bursts of coolness, making people feel extremely relaxed, and the willow trees planted on the side of the stream, swaying with the wind willingly, making a slight "rustle" sound, as if they are echoing with the gurgling stream, and as if they are pouring out the sorrow and farewell in the bottom of their hearts; Everywhere the breeze passes, the cicadas chirp and the frogs chirp, one after another, intertwined with each other, playing a beautiful music of nature. The fireflies of midsummer, shimmering with a faint blue glow, fly back and forth in the grass, giving a visual dreamlike beauty......

The night in Beijing is as deep as it is endless, and the moon in the sky is full of stars, like countless brilliant gems of the West Sea, dotted on the dark velvety night sky, adding a rare light to this endless darkness.

The night is as cool as water.

Along the flat stone path on the bank of Huanhua Creek, strolling in the long night, the bright light of the moon, tiled on the smooth road, reflecting the youthful elegance of a man and a woman, like a pair of fairy couples floating from the sky, they come from the distant snow-capped mountains, from the vast grassland, from the misty Jiangnan water town, but also from the beautiful paintings......

I saw that the two of them were holding hands and walking silently by the Huanhua Creek.

The night breeze was silent, blowing up the white clothes on the handsome man's body, hunting and flying, with the help of the faint light of a bright moon, casting a long and straight figure, engraved on the weeping willow mottled treetops on both sides, looming; Occasionally, a few fireflies flew past them, leaving a moment of light, and then they disappeared in a flash, and they walked slowly and slowly, and they did not know where they were going, and they did not know how long.

Between heaven and earth, only the posture of this pair of beautiful people is full of shadows in the moonlight, setting off the style of a body and a beautiful body.

At the moment, the night is quiet, the moonlight is pouring down, Xiao Changling and Xie Wanxin, both of them hold hands, facing the cool night breeze, walking together, the sparkling water of Huanhua Creek, accompanied by the charming moonlight of the summer night, reflects the dragon posture and phoenix chapter of the golden boy and jade girl:

On the bank of the clear stream, Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, who is beautiful and beautiful, is tall and straight, dressed in white and proud of the snow, it is so absolutely dusty, bright as the sun and the moon into his arms, his handsome face, sharp edges and corners, as if naturally carved, revealing an outstanding perseverance and courage, coupled with his own two heroic sword eyebrows, upright facial features, broad forehead, handsome expression, especially the pair of shining eyes under the thick and dark eyelashes, and the warm smile under the lips like a spring March, How can you not make the hearts of women in this world fall in love with the brilliance of this King of Qin like the breeze of the moon, and how can you not fall in love with the majesty of this lord of Jingbei, Zhilan Yushu.

The steps under Xiao Changling's feet look steady and powerful, neither hurried nor slow, as if they are tempered by a long-term battle formation, and every step forward carries a unique rhythm, as if it is integrated with the surrounding environment; To be precise, Xiao Changling's whole demeanor, the culmination of the emperors of the third dynasty of the Northern Dynasty, created such a handsome and chic body, his eyebrows, inherited the coldness and tenacity of Emperor Wen, the face of the face, inherited the warmth of his grandfather Emperor Jing, as for the deep cold eyes, compared to his father, more blazing, sharp eyes, such as the top of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the snow that no one has set foot in for 10,000 years, melted on the jasper pool where the snow lotus floats, straight to the heart.

Moreover, looking at the whole body of this white-clothed Qin King, all exude an innate calm self-confidence, less of the arrogance of the nobles, but a little more of the elegance of the son of the family, it seems that everything in the world is under his control, with an irresistible charm, teaching people to be obsessed with his demeanor.

The cool night breeze blew through Xiao Changling's fair face, the black hair on his cheeks, and the white clothes that swept away the dust, let the summer breeze roll up his clothes, and vibrated with a gentle friction sound.

But he saw that his chin was slightly raised, with a hint of imperceptible smile, quietly accompanied by the woman he deeply loved beside him, gently holding her slender fragrant shoulders, and walking comfortably in the Huanhua Creek under the moon, listening to the bursts of insects in the grass, enjoying the rare coolness in this summer, all kinds of feelings, all speechless.

Tonight's Xie Wanxin, whether it is a girl's demeanor or fresh clothes, looks like two people as usual. A water-blue gauze skirt more and more outlines her slender figure and soft waist; Under the moonlight, her skin is better than snow, her long hair is like a waterfall, her water sleeves are like a shock, her skirt is fragrant, and the tenderness between her eyebrows is like water, showing her elegance and peerlessness.

Shengxue's face is a condensation of 100,000 miles of snowy rivers and mountains, and it is between a person's eyebrows; The beautiful dancôme is the condensation of all the beautiful scenery in the world, and it is dotted on the lips of one person; The flowing hair is the spring color of Yuguan throughout the ages, but it can't withstand a sigh, and he thanked the apricot blossoms and spring rain of the deep curtain of Xiaolou.

At this moment, Xie Wanxin's face was filled with a faint smile, and the bright moonlight reflected on the girl's white and snowy skin, reflecting a gentle light, leaving a beautiful shadow on the silent summer night; She walked lightly, the little bird held the man's arm, the wind gently blew Miss Xie Si's long black hair, the hair fluttered, the skirt staggered, and with the beautiful scenery of the moonlight in the clear stream, for a while, it was picturesque and dreamlike.

In the moonlight, it is the moon shadow of this couple......

People who love each other, as long as they have each other in their hearts, even if they can't grow old in the end, it is a blessing to be able to walk hand in hand like this.

Perhaps, in Xie Wanxin's heart, she had said to Xiao Changling silently more than once, "Erlang, in my life, I only want to spend time with you, I want to have a quiet time, grow old with you, have the same heart, and never lose each other......"

Walking and walking, Xiao Changling only felt that this path by the stream was so long, just like the long road of life in the next few decades, and there would never be an end in sight.

After a while, it was faintly visible in the distance, and there was a courtyard on the mountainside on the other side of the Huanhua Creek, hidden in the dark and dark night; When I got closer, it turned out to be a majestic building standing tall, and it went straight to the Lotus Mountain close at hand, with an unobstructed view.

This quaint high-rise building adjacent to Lotus Mountain, is located on the bank of Huanhua River, from the hands of the general eunuch Yuwen Hongsheng, condensed the efforts of countless craftsmen, to build such an extraordinary, after three dynasties of wind and rain, always standing the ancient building ,——"Chongli Pavilion".

Chongli Pavilion, also known as "Calyx Xuanyuan Building", is the most eye-catching hanging high-rise building on Lotus Mountain, towering on the bank of Huanhua River, up to more than 100 zhang, a total of four floors, overlooking the scenery of the mountain; Even, its height is more upright than the seven-level pagoda of Yongning Temple in Beijing, which can't help but arouse the curiosity of many people.

If you stand on the Chongli Pavilion, you can not only enjoy the Huanhua Creek in front of you, but also take in the entire Shangjing City, you can see the magnificent Xuande Gate in the distance, and then you can see the large square in front of the Taiji Palace, and even the imperial study of the Great Zhou Emperor, as well as the prosperous palace; All this scenery is like a huge pool, which is sparing no effort to suck all the flows in the entire capital into the pool, quite a kind of grace of a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

When the tall Chongli Pavilion appeared in front of her, Xie Wanxin raised her delicate jade face slightly, the gilded eaves, the vermilion lacquer pillars, the spacious pavilion, the bright pupils of her autumn water, and the girl's spring heart, she was suddenly deeply shocked by the ingenious craftsmanship of Chongli Pavilion, which made her a little fascinated for a while.

After staring for a moment, Xie Wanxin stopped her light steps, poked out her tender fingertips, and gently touched Xiao Changling's elbow, like a dragonfly dotting water.

"Erlang, look, is that Chongli Pavilion?" Xie Wanxin smiled and pointed to the Lotus Mountain at night, and her voice was like the sound of a piano.

At this time, Xiao Changling turned half of his cheeks, and the steady pace under his feet slowed down significantly, and it became more and more gentle, more and more gentle; He first glanced at Chongli Pavilion in the distance, then stared at Xie Wanxin's beautiful side face, smiled slightly, and then took her hand, interlocked his fingers, and said softly.

"Yes, I came once when I was a child, at that time, my father was still the crown prince, and one spring, his old man took me and my eldest brother, as well as my sister, to come here to play, climb the tower and look into the distance, and have a bird's eye view of the spring of the imperial capital; Unexpectedly, after so many years, this place has not changed at all, it is the first floor in the capital! ”

Xiao Changling's eyes became more and more gentle and pure, which was a remembrance of his childhood innocence, and it was also a pity and spoiling for the people in front of him.

The clear glow of the moon is reflected on Xie Wanxin's bright face, her smile embedded in the pear vortex, raising a shallow charm, hazy eyes, like an arc of moonlight in the faint shadow tonight; And her pretty smile, like a flower branch trembling in the morning dew in the morning light, is so beautiful and so seductive.

Looking at Wan'er's moving smile, Xiao Changling's gaze gradually dissipated as if it had been cut by an ice blade, and the cold glow like the tip of the knife under his lips turned into a pool of Tianshan spring water in an instant, soft and waveless.

The corners of Xiao Changling's mouth were smiling, his eyes were like starlight, and his whole person's thoughts seemed to have a brief reverie. He had been alone, sitting silently on the bow of the boat, and in the sound of the clear waves, he recalled the roar of that day, the huge waves were monstrous, and the wind swept the clouds; At that moment, he thought about it, if Wan'er could be by his side at that time, how good it would be. Such a broad and ethereal sound of the waves, such a beautiful star, if she is on her side, the moist sea breeze will definitely send her long hair to her arms, smell the warm and deep fragrance, and suddenly miss the fragrance on her body, miss her bright smile, and the quiet and elegant her.

veins, like the sea breeze.

Suddenly, Xiao Changling suppressed his smile and turned around slowly, a pair of affectionate eyes were staring at the icy and jade girl in front of him with an unprecedentedly gentle gaze, and looked at the deer in Miss Xie Si's heart; After a while, Xiao Changling lightly picked up the girl's slender jade hand, pressed it to Xie Wanxin's ear, and whispered.

"Wan'er, when the moon is in the sky tonight, let's go upstairs and have a look."

"Okay."

After finishing the sentence, Xiao Changling's eyebrows rose slightly, his white clothes rolled, and then he hugged Xie Wanxin's thin shoulders, slowly walked onto the small stone bridge, and walked towards the Chongli Pavilion that brought together the simple and majestic style; Shaoqing, dressed in white, dressed in a gauze skirt, coupled with the chic figure of a young man and girl, just like two broken geese and lonely Hong, disappeared in the vast dark night, leaving no trace.

In front of Chongli Pavilion, the sky and the earth are gloomy, and there is a heavy night scene.

……

The night was silent.

Suddenly, a bright meteor, flashing with brilliant white light, crossed the blue and secluded night sky, like a sharp sword, cutting the dark and dreary night curtain from it, the time was very short, leaving only a moment of brilliance, and then quietly fell in the northwest of Shangjing.

The night sky was still quiet, and the stars in the sky were as promised, as if the meteor that had just pierced the sky and was fleeting had never appeared; Only two stars like silver spoons, dotted on the dense starry sky, brilliant and clear, clear as the water of the Ganges, instantly illuminated most of the sky.

"What a beautiful starry sky."

On the Chongli Pavilion, the clear light is bright, and the outstanding demeanor of young boys and girls is bathed in the hazy moonlight, which adds a bit of clear beauty.

Yinhui entered the building, Xiao Changling, who was dressed in white, his fingers caressed Xie Wanxin's long hair like a waterfall, the two of them sat side by side under the long pavilion, looking at the starry sky by the railing, the vast galaxy was as graceful as a layer of tulle hanging upside down in the sky, and it was reflected in the depths of the eyes of the two.

Xie Wanxin looked intoxicated, leaning on Xiao Changling's shoulder, her hair like brocade green silk, fluttering on Xiao Changling's resolute cheeks, still so smooth and supple; She looked up at the starry sky, and there was a vein of affection, like a wisp of clear spring gurgling, slowly pouring into Xiao Changling's heart, making him deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

The quiet moonlight, through the gilded railing, shot straight into the Chongli Pavilion, and was divided into sections, like Qiongyu, and fell on Xiao Changling, as if gilding him with a circle of beautiful ripples; He sat quietly in the ripples, breathing in the faint fragrance of the girl's long hair, and smiling.

After a while, the corners of the white-clothed commander's lips had a sparse smile, and he gently raised his arms and pointed directly at the two brightest stars in the night, as if he wanted to send the sun, moon and stars in the sky to the beautiful woman.

"Wan'er, look there, the star on the left is the Altair; The one on the right is Vega, and there is a Milky Way between them. ”

"Oh......"

The stars and the moon and the night breeze leisurely raised the girl's delicate and beautiful shadow, the faint aqua blue gauze skirt, flowing like a light cloud crescent moon, embroidered with a clear lotus skirt, more and more set off the ice posture of Xie Wanxin's body.

At this moment, Xiao Changling's gaze was no longer the gaze of an ordinary man, but had turned into an evening breeze that had been indulged in spring, and even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes had a slight hint of laughter, and the blood veins in his whole body were stagnant, gently holding Xie Wanxin's soft hair, and his tone was soft.

"Wan'er, take a closer look, aren't those two stars just the two of us!"

His Royal Highness King Qin's gentle words were like a sea breeze, which swept into Xie Wan's heart. When she first fell in love, she subconsciously looked back, and the snow-colored jade face hidden between the black hair of the waterfall swelled with a slight flush; Immediately, she smiled, her soft eyes stared straight at the man in white sitting beside her, pursed her lips delicately, and said with a smile like a smile.

"It seems...... His Royal Highness King Qin is very good at pleasing girls. Xiao Changling, tell me honestly, how many girls you met before you met me. ”

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Xiao Changling looked at her with a smile.

"You love to talk about it or not." After that, Xie Wanxin turned her head slightly to the side, and her heart was already churning with vinegar, but her face still maintained the grace of the country's natural fragrance, as if she didn't care.

The next moment, Xiao Changling smiled and stretched out his hand and gently brushed the hair on Wan'er's cheeks.

"Let's put it this way, so far, three of them, one is my mother, one is my sister, as for the third one, ......", Xiao Changling paused, Yingting's sword eyebrows moved slightly, a pair of cold eyes like bright stars, looked deeply at Xie Wanxin's face of Qing Shui Hibiscus, and then smiled, the smile was like the clear sunshine of the morning sun, warming the land of Kyushu, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Obviously, Xiao Changling's gaze, warm and warm, with a touch of hot heat, made it impossible to avoid the pair of dark black pupils; Facing the man's resolute smile, Xie Wanxin's face showed a shy and timid expression, and she could only gently pat Xiao Changling's white bracers, and there was a strange sigh in her lips.

"You don't come!"

Having said that, in Xie Wanxin's eyes, Xiao Changling's white clothes were like being swept upside down by the sea breeze, like a snow-white face, spread out between the blue sky and the blue sea, hunting sound; And his warm and dark eyes are looking at him tenderly, his face like a crown of jade, reflecting the bright moonlight in the sky, which highlights his thin expression and sets off his graceful demeanor.

At this moment, a big hand with distinct bones gently hugged Xie Wanxin; Xiao Changling looked back, smiling, a bright light flashed in his eyes, hugged Xie Wanxin into his arms, and raised his right hand smoothly, two tough fingers, calmly pointing to the far north of the sky.

"Wan'er, that is my mother's hometown - Xiurong River. When I was a child, I heard my mother say that in their north Xiurong, there is grass all year round, there, there is an endless prairie, there are cattle and sheep all over the mountains, the grass in the dream, the sheep can not be seen when they go in, the wind blows, revealing the white body, looking at it teaches people to be happy; The summer pasture should be close to the Sanggan River, so that the cattle and sheep have water to drink, and the winter pasture should be carried by the wind to the sun, which is the real grassland...... In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely take you to see it. ”

Hearing Xiao Changling say this, Xie Wanxin's memory was in a trance for a moment, and her thoughts, along with Erlang's description, were taken to the vast Xiurong River, as if she saw the sky and the sun, flocks of sheep, and Xianbei children singing and dancing; After a while, Xie Wan smiled heartily, that smile was warm and clear, and her voice was like a wave chasing flowers, and she couldn't stop muttering to herself.

"Will there ever be a day?"

"Yes."

At this moment, the commander of Jingbei, who had just become the king of Qin in the Great Zhou Dynasty and held 120,000 elite soldiers in his hands, looked down at his beloved woman, with a gentle smile under his lips, and countless affection in his eyes; Soon, Xiao Changling leaned down and stuck to the edge of Xie Wanxin's ear, concentrating and whispering, his movements were particularly intimate.

"You believe me, when the world is calm in the future, I will definitely take you to see the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou, and take you to see with your own eyes the vastness of the East China Sea, the steep West Shu, the beautiful southern Yunnan, and the majestic north; The world is big, the beauty of mountains and rivers is far from the extreme that you and I can reverie, wait, this day, it won't be too long. ”

World.

In the end, these two words still can't be avoided; She snuggled into his broad arms, closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of warmth, sighing silently.

After contemplating for a moment, Xiao Changling slowly sat up straight, picked up Xie Wan's handsome cheeks, and the smile between his eyebrows became thicker and thicker, gradually converging into a brilliant arc, and said softly.

"By the way, Wan'er, it will be my father's birthday in a few days, and there will be a banquet in the palace at that time, huh...... I want to take you into the palace to meet my father and the queen mother. ”

Hearing this, Xie Wanxin raised her watery eyes, a blush swelled up on her cheeks, opened her cherry-like red lips, and muttered a little at a loss.

"This ...... Is it appropriate? ”

saw that Xiao Changling stared at Xie Wanxin's affectionate eyes under the slender willow eyebrows, and he didn't speak for a long time, but the joy on his face could no longer be hidden; Suddenly, he smiled, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Wan'er's delicate nose, and in his low words, there was a little bit of the cynicism of a noble son.

"What's wrong with that?! Anyway, you have to enter the door of our Xiao family sooner or later, just take this opportunity to let the father and queen mother meet their future daughter-in-law, why not? Hey, aren't you scared?! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Changling's face showed an indifferent smile.

Obviously, Xiao Changling's words and smile were like the roar of an ancient sword, ping pong, and struck on Miss Xie Si's heartstrings, so that the crimson complexion on her cheeks became more and more intense; She waved her hand lightly, knocked down the back of Xiao Changling's hand on her face, and said in a clear voice.

"Dream your big spring and autumn dreams!"

Looking at Wan'er's beautiful flowers and moonlight, and looking at the dark and jade-colored sky outside, Xiao Changling smiled, and on the resolute arc of his lips, there was a smile like a crescent moon, and even the Altair and Vega in the sky were also brightened.

……

Under the bright moonlight, young boys and girls looked at each other.

For a moment, affection is like that.
