Qingluo Palace of Liao State is the residence of the queen, and it is also the most deserted one of the three thousand palaces, the palace eunuchs are only ten people, and the huge palace is not very complicated, only the plum blossoms are planted outside the courtyard, and in winter, only the dark fragrance is smelled, but it is not clear whether it is plum or snow that is crowded with branches.

Empress Xiao, dressed in a plain white cloak, stood in front of the plum tree, which was not yet in bloom, but the branches and leaves lingered with the lingering fragrance of the previous year. She has always loved plum blossoms, and she can't forget the person who folded plums with her many years ago.

Empress Xiao turned around and walked towards an inconspicuous small house behind the hall, and entered the house, which was full of firewood and grass and miscellaneous items.

only heard a "squeak!", a portal cracked on the wall, Empress Xiao looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, she dodged into the secret door. The moment she stepped inside, the secret door closed, and the whole firewood room returned to its original state, as if no one had entered it for hundreds of years.

The long corridor is tortuous and damp, and the uneven stone walls on both sides are embedded with a fist-sized night pearl every other zhang, and the blue light is sprinkled in this damp corridor, which is a little secluded.

After walking through the scene of two incense sticks, I came to a stone room, which was not so much a stone room as a pool, which was about five zhang square, and the water in it had accumulated for many years, exuding a faint stench. Above the pool was a cage, suspended in mid-air by chains the thickness of several arms, in which a ragged man was bound in chains of Ugin, his hands and feet were heavily shackled, and his neck was chained, and the man could not move even half a minute.

Empress Xiao went down the stairs to the edge of the pool, looked up at the people in the cage, and said, "That woman's son is about to get married, I don't know how you feel when you hear the news?"

"Yes, he's almost nineteen years old...... the man in the cage was a little hoarse, like a blunt knife scraping a person's eardrum, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad in his words.

"You remember, but I don't want to see his son married, especially with someone who threatens me. Empress Xiao's white cloak was particularly dazzling in this dim water prison, and a few plum blossoms embroidered on the corners of the robe seemed to come to life, opening in this dim cell, exuding a fragrance.

"You don't seem to be a woman interested in fame and fortune! The man in the cage was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I don't think the woman is better, she owes me. And, and I'm going to pave the way for my son, her son can't be emperor, but my son can. My son can stand at the pinnacle of power and dominate the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, what if her son is famous all over the world, he will be inferior after all, hahaha...... That woman will still lose to me after all!" Empress Xiao looked up to the sky and laughed, almost mad.

The man in the cage sneered: "In order to satisfy your humble pride, you have imprisoned me for six years, and now, you don't want to look up to me!" The man in the cage had gray hair scattered and covered his face, perhaps because he had not seen the sun for a long time, and his hands were three points whiter than snow.

"You love her so much, don't you end up watching her be with someone else?" Empress Xiao was not angry at all by his words.

"Hahaha......" The person in the cage looked up to the sky and laughed, the laughter echoed in the stone room, and it never dispersed for a long time, "Don't you understand, some times, it is precisely because of love that I quietly dodge, what I dodge is the figure, but what I can't hide from is the silent feelings, as long as she is happy, why care if it is not me who gives her happiness." ”

"You're just a coward, haven't you had the guts to say it to her after so many years?" Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows and scolded as she pointed at the person in the cage.

"Xiao Yun, why do you want to talk about me, weren't you like this back then?" The man in the cage looked up to the sky and sighed, and continued, "I miss countless flowers and flowers, and I am still light to die, and I ended up in such a field today, which is also a clear manifestation of heaven, it should be!"

If any person with a little seniority heard this, he would definitely be shocked, this person turned out to be one of the six masters of the rivers and lakes more than 20 years ago, the playboy Hua Nianchen. Hua Nianchen is respected as the first beautiful man in the rivers and lakes, not only rich and handsome, but also extraordinary in literary talent, outstanding in martial arts, and a set of thousands of miles of fast wind and body method in the rivers and lakes that no one can match.

Although Hua Nianchen is such a flawless young man, he is despised by most people in the rivers and lakes, because he is a notorious flower thief, and I don't know how many young girls who are beautiful and beautiful are defiled by him. But it's not so much that he picks flowers, but that those women are willing, such a handsome son is also the existence of stars and moons wherever he goes, don't say that he is committed to him, even if he pays for his life, I don't know how many women are willing.

Hua Nianchen chanted softly: "The sunset embroiders the curtain roll, and the water under the pavilion is empty. Zhijun is a new work for me, and the windows are wet and red. Long remember that on the Pingshan Hall, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are pillowed, and there is no lonely Hong. Recognize the drunkard's language, and the mountains are in the middle of nothing. A thousand acres, all mirrors are clean, and the blue peaks are poured. Suddenly, the waves rose and danced a leaf of pulsatilla. can laugh at the son of Lantai, who has not solved the problem of Zhuang Sheng's nature, and there are male and female in Gangdao. A little haoran, a thousand miles of fast wind. "The voice is not very high, but it has a different magnetism, and there is also a sadness that makes people cry.

"A lot of times, we say let's let go, but we don't really let go, we just pretend to be happy and then touch the scars alone in a quiet corner. Empress Xiao waved her hand to wipe away the slight coldness in the corners of her eyes, and was about to turn away.

Hua Nianchen said: "Actually, you are so pitiful, you don't have a friend, you don't have a person to trust, whenever you encounter troubles, you can only come to me as a subordinate prisoner to confide." ”

"When a woman is frustrated in love, she will frantically grab power, supreme power, and then make those who have hurt her submit, because I hate her, and I hate you, and you are the one who fulfilled them, otherwise, ......" Empress Xiao suddenly stopped and said hatefully.

"You'll never get him, his heart has never been you, even for a moment. Hua Nianchen smiled, that smile was a little sarcastic and a little helpless.

"Then how could he have had that woman in his heart?" Empress Xiao did not stop this time, her voice fell, and her figure also disappeared into the dim corridor.

"Maybe it was a mistake in the first place, and I was the one who created it. Hua Nianchen leaned on the cage and said in despair.

Listening to the Snow Palace is different from the Queen's Qingluo Palace, although it is quiet, but listening to the Snow Palace is planted with maple trees, a large area of maple trees, under the maple tree is a colorful path paved with South China Sea colored shells, twisting and turning, until the maple leaves are red, Princess Zhaomeng likes to wear a white dress, wandering on the path.

"Princess, slow down, don't fall!" A green-clothed maidservant girl followed behind Princess Zhaomeng, looking at the princess who couldn't calm down at that moment, and shook her head for a while.

"Hehe, Ling'er, you are too underestimated to look down on this princess!" Princess Zhaomeng smiled, turned all beings upside down, and swung her skirt, like a fairy in the Moon Palace, lifting the sun and soaring, and her clothes and ribbons flew to the top of a maple tree.

The maple leaves are already red, walking on the path, a crimson maple leaf, with the chilly autumn wind, lonely in the air, Princess Zhaomeng's hand swept the white silk, thousands of maple leaves fluttered up, like snow falling.

The intoxicating red paved the ground, and the colorful colorful shellfish path was also paved red.

Some people say that the leaves are not only drifting because the trees do not stay, but also because the wind is chasing.

"Princess, you are all about to get married, and you should have some princess demeanor!" Ling'er said, she has been serving the princess for ten years, but this beautiful woman who is almost dreamy never seems to regard herself as a princess of a country, she is always so free and uninhibited, maybe this is a happiness that people in the royal family can never feel.

Princess Zhaomeng floated down and landed beside Ling'er, stretched out her hand to catch a falling maple leaf, and shouted happily: "The queen mother once told me that those who catch the maple leaves before they fall will be lucky. And those who can witness the thousands of maple leaves fall can make a wish in their hearts, and it will be quietly fulfilled one day in the future. If you can see the maple leaves fall with your beloved, the two can never be separated. Great, I caught the maple leaves and saw countless maple leaves falling, and I was the luckiest. ”

"Yes, the princess will still watch the maple leaves with her beloved in the future!" Ling'er said with a grin.

Princess Zhaomeng's pretty face flushed, and she sneered: "Ling'er, if you talk nonsense again, this princess will tear your mouth!"

"Princess, General Yun asks to see!" a steward eunuch stood outside the maple forest and said respectfully.

Princess Zhaomeng suddenly stopped, and wondered, why is that person here? Just wanted the steward eunuch to refuse, but suddenly felt inappropriate, and said, "I'm listening to Feng Pavilion waiting for him!"

The steward eunuch replied and was ordered to retreat.

Listen to the maple pavilion built in the middle of thousands of maple trees, there are three floors, whether it is a hanging ornament or a lattice door, you can see the shadow of maple leaves everywhere, in the attic, like a country of maple leaves.

A beautiful young man dressed in black opened the maple leaf-shaped door curtain and walked into the attic, the young man was handsome, his every move was graceful and luxurious, and his inky eyes seemed to be able to devour people's hearts. This beautiful young man is Xiao Fan, and he is also the generalissimo of the Liao State, Wang Yunyifan of Pingnan, Xiao Fan is just a pseudonym for him to walk the rivers and lakes.

Yun Yifan looked at the incomparably beautiful girl in white on the seat, and the girl also looked at him, and the two of them looked at it like this, without talking or feeling embarrassed.

I don't know how long it took, Yun Yifan finally opened his mouth first: "I heard that you are going to marry him!"

"Hmm!" Princess Zhaomeng only replied softly, so low that only she could hear it.

"Do you love him?" asked Yun Yifan.

"Since I was seven years old, he gave his life to save me in Chang'an City, and he was in my heart. No other man, no matter how perfect he is, has never set foot in my heart, not even half a step. Princess Zhaomeng's voice was louder, as if she wanted the person to hear it, and she was dead.

"What if I insist on breaking in?" Yun Yifan's elegant face was frosted.

"Even if you break in, you'll just end up in a barren land. Princess Zhaomeng looked at his face, unimpressed, and said, "A woman's heart is too small, so small that she can only fit one person and one feeling, but a man's heart is so big that she can pretend to be the world, power, money, and beauty...... If I had pretended you first, the other men would have been nothing more than dust to me. ”

"I figured it out, I won't wish you happiness, because I believe that I am the one who gives you happiness!" Yun Yifan's sonorous and powerful words were full of the domineering that a king should have, and after speaking, he waved his long sleeves and turned to leave.

Princess Zhaomeng watched the black clothes disappear among the blood-like maple leaves, and a wry smile rose at the corner of her mouth, if he didn't have that obsession, maybe he would be a good friend.
