Chapter 118: Dream Grass
At night, the back garden is empty, and a bright moon hangs high in the night sky, reflecting countless lights. Although the banquet was almost over, the sound of cheering could still be heard from the main hall not far away. The two palace maids took Yin Luo to a pavilion by the pool and retreated, meaning to let her wait for His Majesty here.
It didn't matter if she waited, but there were no people around, she stayed alone in the pavilion and looked left and right, and from time to time a cool breeze blew, but she felt a little cold.
Suddenly, a pair of hands were placed on her shoulders, which startled her, and she thought that the emperor could not like to be elusive, so she saw that Shen Tu had already stood beside her at some point, and approved a smock on her without saying a word.
"You-" Yin Luo was surprised by his boldness, and dared to come over to meet her at this hour: "Why don't you have any sound at all?"
"I was meant to be a ghost. Somehow, there seemed to be a sly smile in the corners of his eyes, and suddenly disappeared in place.
Yin Luo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought: "How can I explain this extra blouse!"
But before she had time to think, there was a light and shadow behind the bushes by the path, and the figure of the emperor appeared in front of her.
There was no one else beside him, only himself, carrying a palace lamp. Although he was young, he had a majestic posture all over his body, and his face was originally very cold, but it melted the moment he saw her.
Yin Luo looked at him and thought of Shen Tu inexplicably. Both of their faces were cold, but the former seemed to be deliberately put on display, while the latter was naturally gloomy and had no choice.
In other words, his face was not as cold as good-looking.
Ling You looked at the woman in front of him, as if he was crazy.
His empress, Xie Yan, went out on a tour with him at the age of seventeen and eventually disappeared. No one knows how desperate he was at that time. When he first saw the little girl at a banquet in the General's Palace, he was convinced that he wanted to marry her. At that time, he was only the son of the right minister, and she was just the second lady who had just recovered the general's mansion.
Ten years have passed, and the time they have spent together is too short.
What he didn't know was that this Xie Yan, whom he loved so much, was just a puppet made by the Dao Chief in order to make Yun feel free to make friends, and he only had a lifespan of ten years. When the time comes, it will naturally disappear. This was a little trick made by the gods, but it made him grieve for a long time. If the Dao Leader finally knew what happened to Yun Arbitrary, would he have said that he would leave her in the General's Mansion at that time?
After all, she will have a queen's destination in the end, and she may have to go through the intrigues of the harem, and gradually forget her childhood life in Lingxuguan. Instead of being burned alive. You must know that when she died, she was not yet eight years old.
The woman in front of him looked exactly like Xie Yan, how could there be such a coincidence in this world? He would rather believe that his queen was back than just a beautiful mistake.
Yin Luo gradually had a strange premonition in his heart. She felt as if she had forgotten something she had to remember, but she couldn't catch it. But doubts are doubts, and the etiquette on the surface is still thorough, so he saluted him and said: "The people's daughter sees the emperor." ”
Ling You looked at her almost greedily - why did he even sound so similar?!
He hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and gently tore off the blouse that was about to fall off her body, and for a while he didn't know what to say, obviously he wanted to say a lot of words, but he choked in his throat for a while.
This is not his Xie Yan, although they are exactly the same, but she gives him a strange feeling, as if he has never seen it before, which makes him feel faintly lost and powerless in his heart, and at the same time, an idea pops up in his heart, so he asks, "What's your name?"
It was strange that he hadn't asked her where the blouse came from.
"Back to Your Majesty, the little girl's name is Xun Yue, a native of the same state, eighteen years old. ”
Yin Luo said according to Si's orders, word by word, without emotion.
Ling You chewed on the name repeatedly in his heart, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward, and playfully reached out to pick up a strand of her hair.
Yin Luo knew that Shen Di must be very angry now, because she suddenly felt a lot colder around her, but she just didn't know where he was hiding. Yin Luo himself was also very angry, more surprised. What is this emperor going to do? Could it be that he is also a womanizer?
What she didn't know was that the moonlight was just right tonight, and it was another pleasure to see beauties under the moon, plus she looked no different from that Xie Yan, if this emperor didn't understand his mind, then it would be strange.
But it's not a way to be so stupid. Yin Luo took a step back just right, avoided Lingyou's hand, and lowered his head, this appearance sounds good is "unyielding", and if it doesn't sound good, it is "want to refuse and welcome", it all depends on how Lingyou understands.
His hand paused, stopped in mid-air, and then slowly retracted and put it behind his back, with a bit of loneliness.
He sighed, "You're not her after all." She would never turn me down. ”
"You!" she thought to herself, but she thought to herself, "What do you mean 'I'm not her'?"
I always feel that every time I come to the world, there will be a sense of déjà vu, and every time I come, the image in my mind is clear, but in the end, nothing is pieced together.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the side, and a eunuch carried a palace lamp in his hand, and walked quickly to Ling You, as if he had something to say, but looking at the scene in front of him, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. So he frowned: "If you have anything to say, you can say it." ”
"Yes. Your Majesty, Prince Chengping is waiting for you in the palace, and it seems that there is something important to discuss. ”
"Today is the Thousand Lights Banquet, what can I do?"
"This ...... The minions don't know. ”
Yin Luo's heart moved, and he immediately reacted that this was the best opportunity. If he is let go like this today, I am afraid that this evil will be brewed. But seeing that Ling You's expression was hesitant, his body had already shifted a little, and he seemed to want to go over, so he immediately opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, the little woman has a few words she wants to say to Your Majesty." ”
She regretted it as soon as she said this, and she wanted to slap herself in the face - what is there to say?
But this statement clearly hindered his decision. Ling You looked at her with some surprise, as if he was very interested in what she was going to say next, and with a wave of his hand, he withdrew the eunuch, not only did he not mean to leave, but sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and looked at her for a long time.
"There's no one now, don't you say?"
Yin Luo looked like a broken jar: "Is the person Your Highness misses in his heart the same as me?"
"Presumptuous!" he slapped the table and stood up, glaring at her with a pair of eyes, "Who allowed you to ask that?"
Since Empress Xie Yan disappeared, no one in the government and the opposition dared to take the initiative to mention it again, for fear of touching his scales. However, most of those ministers had never seen Xie Yan's appearance, so they couldn't recognize him at the Thousand Lights Banquet.
If it were someone else, he would have knelt down in a panic and begged the emperor to spare his life, but Yin Luo ignored his anger and continued: "Your Highness, do you know why the little girl looks similar to her?"
Ling You looked at her coldly, but his originally tense body gradually relaxed, and he just clenched his fists tightly.
Yin Luo didn't know who she looked like, but instinctively thought that it should be him and his beloved woman, so he took out a dream grass from his palm and gently held it in his hand.
"This is the result of the family teacher's search for famous mountains and rivers, and the person you want to dream of when you sleep at night. This is the only one in the past hundred years, and I have no appearance, but I can transform into the appearance of the person in the hearts of the world. I've been looking for that destined person. This Thousand Lights Banquet is an opportunity. ”
She lied without changing her face and heartbeat, and at the same time handed the dream grass to Ling You's hand: "Please take it away from Your Majesty." ”
He took the letter suspiciously, but when he touched it, he was shocked, and the scene of the first time he saw Xie Yan appeared in front of him. The little girl who is full of stubbornness in her eyes, but has a good job of hiding her emotions.
"You look thirsty. ”
"Mama said that you can't drink water when there are many people. ”
All kinds of things in the past, like in a dream.
He froze in place, only to feel that his heartbeat had never been so violent, but there were already tears in his eyes.
"Xie Yan......" he murmured softly, and soon realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, and bowed to Yin Luo in a dignified manner. She immediately returned the salute, but heard Ling You say: "Thank you to the immortals." ”
He thought that he had just made a frivolous move towards her, and even wanted to include her in the harem, but he felt that he was ridiculous.
"Your Majesty, where is this, Xun Yue is just a dancer. After tonight, Your Majesty's fate with me is over. ”
After she finished speaking, she still saluted, and Shi Shiran walked out of the pavilion, as if she was chasing Aunt Xi. Ling You was stunned in place, but he didn't dare to chase her, but he kept rubbing the dream grass in his palm, and the sorrow in his eyes flashed.
He walked out of the back garden in a bit of a dismay, and the eunuch was still waiting at the intersection for his majesty's return.
"King Chengping is still there?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I'm still waiting. ”
"Tell him to go back, I'm not in the mood today. ”
Ling You sighed, feeling that he was very upset, but he just waved his hand, carefully put the dream grass into his sleeve, and couldn't help but look back at the direction where Yin Luo left.
Of course, it was dark, and there was no figure.
Guo Xian's "Cave Meditation" Volume 3: "There is dream grass, like Pu, red in color, shrinking into the ground during the day, and coming out at night, also known as dreams." With its leaves, you will know the auspiciousness of dreams. Mrs. Di Si Li's face is not available, Shuo Nai offers a branch, Emperor Huaizhi, Mrs. Night Fruit Dream, because of the name changed to Huaimengcao. ”
