Chapter Twenty-Eight: Returning to the Old Land, Confused and Confused
The triennial palace draft girl is about to start again, which is also one of the emperor's biggest headaches. Every adult wants to send a woman to the emperor, and hopes to be favored by the emperor.
A group of beautiful women was led into the palace by a father-in-law.
"It's so magnificent. One of the women said.
"I've never seen the world. The other woman glanced contemptuously at the woman who had spoken earlier. Shen Xingyi came to the palace at the recommendation of the household department Shangshu Ling,
"You've seen the world, okay. The woman from before replied.
The Shen Governor of Hangzhou City was bent on letting Shen Xingyi enter the palace, he was a student of Hubu Shangshu, and with this relationship, Shen Xingyi naturally entered the palace. Of course, everyone has a ghost, and it is best to be favored. If not, it's fine.
It has been more than three years since the emperor ascended the throne, but the emperor has not yet chosen a candidate for the queen. caused the harem to compete for beauty, and everyone racked their brains.
There are two rows of show girls standing in the hall, and after the emperor arrives, he sits in the center of the main hall.
Gonggong Li, who was standing next to him, whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the second in the first row is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Wanyu." The third in the first row is the daughter of the prefect of Hangzhou and the goddaughter of the head of the household, Shen Xingyi. Your Majesty, you have to choose these two. In today's situation, you have to be patient a little longer. ”
This Gonggong Li is an old man in the palace, and when the first emperor was alive, he served by his side, loyal, and dedicated to the emperor.
"I know. ”
"I choose the first row, the second and third, and the rest of us will step down. ”
Shen Xingyi finally got her wish to the palace, but her wishes were different from his father's.
The emperor went to Zhang Wanyu and named her Concubine Yu. After that, he came to Shen Xingyi.
"Just call her Concubine Yi, and live in this Mingyue Xuan. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"Stand down, all of you. ”
"Yes. ”
"Shen Xingyi, what is the purpose of your visit?"
Shen Xingyi knelt on the ground and replied: "Back to the emperor, the concubines enter the palace, of course, to serve the emperor." ”
"You didn't come to this set with me, you were able to set off such a big storm for Lou Wenyu at the beginning, and now you come to me to say that you are waiting for me?"
"Back to the emperor, the concubine is ignorant, but she was bewitched by my father. After seeing the emperor, he has a heart for the emperor, and the concubines only want to relieve the emperor's worries, and the concubines are true. ”
"I believe you for now. Get up. "The emperor has already seen it through in his heart, so he just let her say.
......
"Your Majesty, there is good news from outside the pass, and the people of Ningxia have been repulsed and won a great victory. The general asked me to reply to you, thanks to the timely delivery of the message. That's what makes it a big win. "A soldier came to report the news.
"Presumably the people of Ningxia will not stop there, and when you go back, tell the general that you must not be careless. Caution is also needed. The detailed work I sent to Ningxia will definitely send a message to me, and if there is any trouble, I will send someone to deliver the news to you again. Let's go down. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
The emperor took out the plum blossom hairpin and thought of Nian Xue and Lou Wenyu. This time it's really thanks to Lou Wenyu. I wonder what happened to the two of them?
For a few days in a row, there was no news from Nian Xue, and Lou Wenyu began to get anxious.
He suddenly thought of the emperor, and he hurried to Tian'an City Defu Qian Zhuang and invited someone to go to the palace to find the emperor. He waited in his room.
After a while, the emperor pushed the door in.
"Lou Gongzi, who are you here this time? I happened to think of you today, and you are here. ”
"Thinking of me?"
"Yes, a great victory outside the gates. Thanks to your woodbird. The news went in time, and this was a big victory. ”
"That's right, I'm here to ask for your help this time. ”
"You say. ”
"I sent a message to Nian Xue some time ago, see you in Jiandu City. But not only did the news not reply, but I waited for several days in the capital city, and no one arrived. Presumably, it was his senior brother who stopped her and didn't let her come to the appointment. I want to ask you to send a message to Nian Xue and ask her to come here. ”
"It seems that there are really many obstacles between you and Nian Xue. The emperor sneered.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I fulfilled the two of you, but you two still let me down. ”
"After that, you will never ask me to help you make a wooden bird. ”
"Alright, let's get down to business. I'll help you with this. ”
The emperor ordered someone to pass the flying pigeon to Nian Xue.
......
In the Luoxue Pavilion, Nian Xue's every move was watched by Ling Zimo.
A pigeon flew in from the window of Nian Xue's room, she took down the letter, opened it and looked, "Nian Xue, come to Tian'an City Defu Qian Zhuang quickly." ”
The emperor is looking for me, what is the matter? There must be something urgent, and if there is no urgency, he will not pass the book to me.
Nian Xue hugged the empty space and went out.
"Sister Nianxue, where are you going?" asked Nianxue the little fairy child outside the door.
"I ...... I have something to look for Master. ”
"Xuezun is not in the pavilion, where are you going to find it? Brother Zimo let us take care of you and didn't let you run around. ”
"If Brother Zimo asks, you can just say that I'm in the room, I'll go out for a while and come back soon. You have to be obedient. Nian Xue touched the little faces of the two little fairy children. The two little Jiaqiu looked at each other.
"Okay, then you have to come back quickly. ”
"Okay, okay, got it. ”
......
Nian Xue went to the second floor of Tian'an City Defu Qian Village, pushed the door and entered the innermost room.
"Nian Xue, you're finally here. The emperor said.
"Childe, let me come this time?"
"I didn't ask you to come this time, someone asked me to call you. ”
"Who?" Nian Xue looked at the emperor curiously.
"Someone asked me to help, and I had to look at it for his sake to help me, and I agreed. ”
"Tell me, who is it?"
Lou Wenyu walked out from behind the door and hugged Nian Xue from behind. "It's me. ”
The emperor went out of the room and closed the door.
Nian Xue turned around and saw Lou Wenyu. "You ......" Nian Xue smiled slightly, she was happy in her heart. But then a frown furrowed.
"I've sent you a lot of messages, and you haven't replied to me. I've been waiting for you downstairs in Jiandu City for several days. Why don't you come?"
Nian Xue let go of Lou Wenyu's hand, walked to the table and sat down.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Lou Wenyu began to get nervous.
"Nothing ......"
These faint three words made Lou Wenyu's heart fall to the bottom.
"Come with me to a place. Lou Wenyu took Nian Xue's hand.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to build the capital, you didn't go to the appointment before, so you will accompany me today. ”
Nian Xue let go of Lou Wenyu's hand and said, "Wenyu, I have to go back as soon as possible." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Wen Yu, what if you go to Jiandu City?"
"That's ......," Lou Wenyu wanted to say, that was where his love for her began.
"Okay, I'll go with you. ”
Lou Wenyu was happy, and pulled Nian Xue out of the room.
"Thank you, if you need help in the future, please speak. Lou Wenyu said to the emperor.
"Good. The emperor looked at the backs of Lou Wenyu and Nian Xue, at first it was gloomy, and then he smiled with relief.
Cheonancheng is not far from Jiandu City, and the two of them arrived in half an hour on horseback. At this point, it's the end of the day. There are not many pedestrians on the street anymore.
"Nian Xue, I was waiting for you here that day. Lou Wenyu pointed to a tea stall in a corner downstairs of Jiandu City.
"Childe, have you finally waited for your beloved?" The owner of the tea stall asked Lou Wenyu when he saw Lou Wenyu and Nian Xue.
"Yes. Lou Wenyu looked at Nian Xue with a smile.
"Nian Xue, do you remember where we first met?"
"Of course, I remember that it was the Splendid Inn in Tianancheng. At that time, I escaped by myself and went back to the Splendid Inn to settle accounts with the boss, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw you and my senior brother. ”
"No, it doesn't count. This is just where I first met you. I would say that it is a place where we look at the stars together. ”
"Where is that?"
"This is it, remember?" the two of them arrived at the inn.
"A little impressed. ”
"Childe, please inside. Is it still a stay this time?"
"Yes. ”
"Is that the same as last time?"
"Hmm. ”
"Okay, please. ”
Lou Wenyu took Nian Xue's hand and came to the room.
"Wen Yu, you...... We ......"
"Huh, what's wrong?"
Lou Wenyu saw that Nian Xue refused to answer, he said: "Well, Nian Xue, that's exactly what I thought." ”
After hearing this, Nian Xue turned around to leave, and Lou Wenyu hugged her from behind.
"Nian Xue, what do you think? Are you really serious? Am I that kind of person? Lou Wenyu smiled and hugged Nian Xue tighter.
"Do you remember when you couldn't sleep, sitting here, just watching the stars by the window?" Lou Wenyu pulled Nian Xue to the window.
"I remembered. ”
"Then I passed through the corridor, and when I saw you here, I came and spoke to you. At that time, I looked at you and fell in love with you. ”
Nian Xue looked at Lou Wenyu, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Lou Wenyu hugged Nianxue in his arms, and the two looked out the window together.
"Wenyu, today we ......"
"Today, listen to you, and if you want to go back, we will go back. I'm not pushing you, just I want you to remember our promises. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Nian Xue, that day, I just missed you, so I sent you a message. There is no intention to force you. I said, I'll wait for you. ”
"Hmm. Let's go back. ”
"Good. ”
This time, when Nian Xue was hesitating, Lou Wenyu brought her here, and her heart was disturbed again.
When I got out of the inn, it was already late at night when I arrived at the snowy mountain.
"Nian Xue, it's late at night, I won't be in Luoxue Pavilion, woman, reputation is important. I'll go back to Hangzhou and take a look at home. ”
"I'll watch you go, go. ”
"Hmm. ”
Nian Xue walked up the stairs of the snow mountain, and along the stairs, you can reach the Luoxue Pavilion. Lou Wenyu looked at Nian Xue's back, he thought of when he was on the sixth floor of the Tower of Babel, Ling Zimo pushed him to the edge, and when he fell, Ling Zimo pulled him to look at him, it was a terrible look. So when Nian Xue walked to the center, Lou Wenyu flew over and hugged Nian Xue tightly.
"Nian Xue, you have to be careful of Ling Zimo. I'm worried...... Why don't you go back with me?"
"Senior brother, how could it be? I grew up with him, and I know his heart best. He won't do anything to hurt me. ”
"But ......"
"It's okay, you can go back. Nian Xue gently pushed Lou Wenyu away and looked at Lou Wenyu with a smile.
It was snowing again, and the wind was bitterly cold. The plum blossoms on both sides of the stairs sway in the wind. Lou Wenyu took off his white cloak and draped it on Nian Xue. Take out the long strands of hair behind her and stroke the hair from her ears back. Hold Nian Xue into his arms again.
