Jinghe 25
Ji Lin.
The sky was dark and oppressive, as if there was another heavy snowfall, and the wind was howling, blowing the spirit flags in the air as if they had been pulled by someone and stretched out violently.
The copper bell on the banner "jingle bell" rings directly.
There was an indescribable eerie atmosphere in the air.
Shen Lan was dressed in a black fox fur, with a jade crown and bundled hair, and a pair of phoenix eyes with good eye shapes were cold and cold, with a little carelessness. At this moment, he was sitting bored on the Taishi chair, supporting his head with one hand and holding a scroll in the other, and his eyes casually glanced at the Taoist priest Wu who was jumping up and down on the altar.
Yu Li'an stood beside him, dressed in white with charms painted on it, and at his feet was a circle drawn with cinnabar just enough to encircle her. The cold little face was full of seriousness.
An hour has passed, and two hours have passed......
Shi Wu still had words in his mouth, but he didn't jump anymore......
"Mr. ......"
"What's the matter?" Shen Lan, who was about to fall asleep, propped up her eyelids and glanced at Yu Li'an.
Yu Li'an was aggrieved: "I want to sit." ”
Shen Lan frowned, looking at the charms all over her body and the circles under her feet, it was a little difficult to sit down...... He had no choice but to support his forehead, and Shi Wu was really, asking him to draw a bigger circle and refusing to live or die, and there was a bunch of messy crooked theories. Forget it, and later said that he was afraid that Yu Li'an would move in turmoil, and he even put a confinement spell on people. It's good now, this trick hasn't seen a ghost for a long time, and Yu Li'an, who is still tired, can only stand in the circle and can't move, not even a chair.
"Sir, sit down ......" the voice was so aggrieved that it seemed like it was about to cry in front of him.
Shen Lan stroked her head and soothed, "Be good, bear with it again." Then he couldn't help but look up at the hidden figure on the altar that seemed to be pretending to be a ghost.
Lightning and thunder suddenly thundered in the black oppressive sky, and a pitch-black vortex appeared in the middle of the dark clouds, as if it wanted to suck the heavens and the earth into it.
The Taoist priest looked up at the whirlpool in the air and sighed to himself.
"I can't recruit it back. ”
Yu Li'an, who looked at Shen Lan, wrinkled his nose, pouted, and then began to cry with sobs.
Shen Lan suddenly felt a little pain in his head.
"Jinghe, be good, don't cry. ”
"Sit!" he began to cry so heart-rending that he couldn't breathe.
Shen Lan was messy in the wind.
Shi Wuxiao jumped down from the altar with a smile, walked in front of Yu Li'an, and drew talismans in the void.
Yu Li'an's legs weakened, sat on the ground, and then cried even more heartbreakingly......
Shen Lan couldn't help but glance at Shi Wu, his cold eyes were like a cold winter and a snowstorm.
Shi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and spread his hands: "The soul of the county lord of Jinghe has left a radius of thousands of miles, and he can't recruit it back, so His Highness should go and find it yourself." ”
Shen Lan didn't speak, got up and squatted down and stroked Yu Li'an's head, with warmth in her light voice: "Don't cry, Mr. Tomorrow will take you to the Painted Clothes Workshop, didn't you say you wanted to buy clothes last time, Mr. will take you to buy them." ”
Yu Li'an's long eyelashes were filled with tears, and he looked at him with a pair of big eyes, and then said "um" aggrievedly. frowned and thought for a while, and said that he still wanted some of Cuige's head flower jewelry, wanted to be Xinzhai's rouge gouache, and wanted all kinds of snacks in Shililou......
Shen Lan looked at her ignorant appearance and couldn't help but rub her head. This look, when you don't speak, it looks cold at first, but when you speak, it's full of childishness. This huge contrast is actually very cute, much cuter than when she was a child.
Well, he remembered that she was quite cute when she was a child, but she didn't have a good temper, and she loved to stare at people with a critical face......
The sky was even more gloomy, and the snow that had been stored for a long time finally fell in pieces.
Shen Lan stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes fell on his palm, and after a while, they turned into snow water, and they felt cold in his hands. The wind was blowing, and the spirit banner looked down on them from the altar, dancing more openly as if mockingly.
"Jinghe, will Mr. take you home?" The clear and light voice had a rare emptiness.
Yu Li'an looked at him ignorantly, revealing a big smile, with tears still hanging on his long eyelashes like butterfly wings, flickering.
Shen Lan gently took her into her arms, and her broad palm caressed the top of Yu Li'an's head.
Although he hoped that she could live her life carefree like this, he would not want her to be so stupid all the time.
He wanted her to understand what he was saying, what he was doing, and what he was thinking.
"I'll look for Jinghe's soul, and I'll forget about today's business. "He has no way of teaching him.
Shi Wubai glanced at him, and looked at the flamboyant spirit conjuring banner with a sad face, which was already gradually gathering black qi, and these black qi were all lonely souls and wild ghosts that were attracted when he summoned spirits just now.
He shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, and he would have to waste time dealing with these things later, why was his life so miserable...... The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so my voice became more and more impatient: "Come on, I'm still thankless for the poor road, right?" Your Highness, your old man's house, recruit yourself, and forgive me, hum!" Then he muttered in a low voice, "Why are they all so uneasy, really, blame me......"
Shen Lan stopped talking and looked down at Yu Li'an's ignorant eyes. In these eyes, there is no sword and sword, no scheming city, pure as a child who has not been in the world, and has not been contaminated with the slightest bit of the world.
Such eyes should not appear on Yu Li'an's face.
Shen Lan suddenly felt a trace of confusion in her heart, this feeling had never appeared before.
He's going to take her home.
......
In Damo, the princess who is already in the age of marriage is not allowed to leave the palace at will, even if she goes out of the palace, she needs to be accompanied by the palace concubine, and a team of eighteen guards must protect the entourage, so as not to be bumped into by people who don't know how to look at her, and damage the princess's reputation.
So, how difficult would it be for the prince of an enemy country that was watched so tightly to meet a much-loved princess secretly outside the palace?
It's probably only as difficult as a favorite concubine and a guard to commit adultery......
Then you can only see the princess in the palace, isn't it a good time now?
Before the palace banquet ended, Emperor Zhengxuan, who was already a little sleepy, took a sip of wine boredly, and went to the side hall with the help of Xiaofuzi.
Seeing his father leave, Zhao Ning looked at the next group of people who were eyeing him, only to feel a chill down his spine and creepy, and then left quietly.
Shen Lan touched his chin, this is God also going to help him, how can he let go of such a good opportunity. So he gestured behind him with his backhand. The people in the shadows understood and followed Zhaoning's footsteps.
So, on the way home, Zhao Ning saw his cousin Yu Li'an, who had not seen him for several months.
She asked for a palace lamp, sent the maid around her away, raised the palace lamp and raised her head to seriously study Yu Li'an's easy-to-face face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The appearance is not similar at all, and it looks silly, but it always feels familiar.
Yu Li'an frowned and moved back.
Zhao Ning couldn't help but carry the lantern and stretched out his hand to follow forward.
The snow has begun to melt, and although someone has ordered someone to clear the snow, the way back is still a little slippery. Ran Zhaoning's soap-soled cotton boots were not non-slip, so the soles of his feet slipped back. As soon as the hand was released, the palace lamp fell to the ground. The candle flickered, but it was not extinguished, and a small dark ground was illuminated.
Yu Li'an instinctively grabbed her hand and pulled her forward to him.
Zhao Ning, who had not yet stood firm, pounced on her, his hands tightly wrapped around her waist.
"Sister Ah Li?"
Yu Li'an staggered backwards in a flutter, barely stood still, looked down at Zhao Ning who was hugging her tightly and looked up and called "Sister Ah Li" ignorantly, her ignorant eyes were full of pickiness, but she was silent and didn't speak, just frowned at her.
"You're Sister Ah Li. ”
Zhao Ning let go of her and said word by word.
The palace lamps on the ground are flickering, and they can't be extinguished. The cool breeze in the evening blew and blew off the long hair on Yu Li'an's shoulders, which rarely showed a bit of hazy softness.
Zhao Ning's nose suddenly became a little sore, and then he pounced on her and hugged her violently, burying his face in her neck.
"Sister, Zhao Ning misses you so much. ”
Although Yu Li'an kept frowning at her, he rubbed her head a little inexplicably.
Shi Wu, who was hiding in the shadows, smacked his lips, cast a spell to cast a trick on the location of the two of them and walked over.
"Princess?"
Zhao Ning let go when he heard the sound, Yu Li'an turned to look, and what caught his eye was a man in a purple robe and a book in his hand. Wearing a high crown, his eyebrows fly obliquely into his temples, his deep and distant phoenix eyes are narrow and long, the bridge of his nose is high, and his lips are thin.
But it makes people feel inexplicably deadly.
Zhao Ning forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and did not ask for a salute, and asked bluntly: "What do the Seven Princes have to do?"
The Taoist priest who transformed into Shen Lan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw this, thinking to himself that don't all these young and beautiful little girls like this kind of handsome and elegant young man? How do you feel that it is not quite similar to the scene that you imagined should be fascinated by Shen Lan's face...... In order to pretend to be elegant, he also deliberately brought a book......
Shi Wu coughed lightly in embarrassment, and was about to speak, but saw Yu Li'an behind Zhao Ning pounce on him at a lightning speed.
"Sir!" the excited voice was crisp and pleasant.
Shi Wu was pounced on, and after struggling to stand firmly, he pulled down Yu Li'an, who was stuck to him like an octopus.
Yu Li'an stood obediently and looked at him with an aggrieved face.
Zhao Ning's heart suddenly shook.
Shi Wu, who was a little embarrassed, smiled a few times at Zhao Ning and explained: "Lord Jinghe has lost his soul, that's why it's like this, princess ......"
"What?!"
The words were still stuck on the tip of his tongue, and he was interrupted by Zhao Ning's surprised "what".
Shi Wu swallowed the words he was about to say.
Zhao Ning, who suddenly lost his temper, calmed down, pretended to be calm and asked him what was going on.
Shi Wu no longer rambling, and quickly explained the causes and consequences in detail. At the end, he added: "I have lost my soul for a long time...... If the wind is also lacking in skills, I hope the princess will help me. "Ruofeng is Shen Lan's word.
The trick couldn't be concealed for long, and at this moment, the empty hands were already faintly distorted, and the palace lanterns lying on the road were like beans, flashing, and finally extinguished.
Zhao Ning looked at Yu Li'an, who still looked aggrieved, in silence, and said for a long time: "What should I do?"
Shi Wu glanced at her hurriedly, lamenting in his heart that his cultivation was still insufficient
The surrounding unclear scenery twisted violently, and there was a shout from behind him, and the palace lights on the ground suddenly lit up. When everything returned to normal, the two people in front of Zhao Ning had disappeared.
A voice seemed to whisper in her ear: "Jinghe is at your father's place, she is waiting for you." ”
She froze.
When she came to her senses, the palace maids who had been sent away by her were kneeling on the wet ground respectfully, as if they had never left.
The palace lamps on the ground are still faintly scattering light.
Suddenly, like a dream.
