Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

When I returned to the other building, there were no tears on my face, and everything seemed calm as if nothing had happened.

It was just the silk kerchief that was placed on my chest and centrifuged to the nearest place.

Even on such a cold morning in the early autumn, the limbs and five bodies were frozen cold, but the place was still warm. Even if the man's fire had been extinguished, his previous body temperature could be in my heart and always warm me. .

I can't help but reach out and press it against my chest.

Just then, there was a sudden hissing noise in front of me, which disturbed my thoughts. I looked up and saw several guards riding the horse in front of the other building, but when I looked closely, it didn't seem to be this. Once the person brought by Pei Yuanzhang, I was wondering, and the guards who came to him immediately came forward: "What's going on?"

A guard turned over and dismounted, and fisted at them: "Are the long princesses here?"

Long princess? Pei Yuanzhen? !!

I hesitated for a moment. After hearing what they said, did Pei Yuanzhen also come to this annex?

Being puzzled, he heard the guard at the gate saying, "The princess has just entered. What is going on with you, and how can you let the princess come alone?"

"The crime of humble duty. Originally we were protecting the princess all the way, but after entering the bamboo forest, because the fog was too great, everyone was scattered, and humble duty went in to condemn it."

"No need. It was already said when the princess came. Let you go and wait."

"Yes."

The guards were relieved. They took the horse to the side door. I walked slowly. The guards at the door saw me immediately and said, "Master Yue is back?"

"Um." I nodded and asked, "The princess is here?"

"Yes, just entered."

I nodded and remained calm, but there was a movement in my heart-Pei Yuanzhang welcomed Fu Bajiu this time. Although it was not a confidential event, it was not disclosed. Only the concubine Liu Li followed in the harem. Why did Pei Yuanzhen follow? Suddenly came here? What's the purpose of her coming?

Thinking about it this way, I have entered the gate, and as soon as I walked in, I saw two people standing opposite the hall.

One of them was petite, with a colorful dress like a butterfly, with a graceful appearance, carrying a whip behind his back, and looking up at the person in front of his face.

Standing opposite her was Liu Qinghan.

In his hand, he was holding the wooden bowl, and his eyes were lowered, as if the calm water in the bowl was cold, without any ripples.

When I saw him, my heart still jumped uncontrollably, and my breathing was a little cramped, but he looked indifferent and looked down at the wooden bowl in his hand.

Pei Yuanzhen looked at him for a long while, and suddenly smiled: "Just the water, thank you."

"The princess is polite."

"How do you know I'm the long princess?"

"Just now, this is how the outside doormen salute you."

"Your ears are good."

"Ashamed."

I opened my eyes suddenly — it turned out that the passer-by who thirstyly drank his half-bowl of Qingquan was Pei Yuanzhen. No wonder she could cross the road, and the eldest chief came here, and of course the guards could not stop her.

Pei Yuanzhen looked at his expressionless face with interest, and his eyes and brows were all smiling, saying, "It seems we have a fate, but I didn't expect to meet again here."

"..."

Liu Qinghan's pupils flickered, as if the water in the bowl reflected in his eyes, looked at Pei Yuanzhen, did not speak, and lowered his head again.

"Who's Yumei, who is so destined for?"

A voice suddenly sounded from the back hall. Liu Qinghan shuddered, turned around and saw Pei Yuanzhang coming with a few servants.

Everyone bowed down and said, "Long live the Emperor."

"Be flat."

Pei Yuanzhang waved his sleeves, then turned to look at Pei Yuanzhen, and said with a smile, "Yuan Zhen, why are you here?"

Pei Yuanzhen said with a smile: "The emperor brother is strange. The sister and sister came out to stroll around, and accidentally saw the scenery here is good, so come over and see, I did not expect emperor brother to come here for a break."

Pei Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "He wants to sneak away, but looks inwards and outwards, so many eyes are staring at him. How can he steal the floating half-day? He is here, but he is just a teacher who welcomes the Grand Prince . "

Pei Yuanzhen's face moved slightly, and he turned to look at Liu Qinghan: "He is--"

Pei Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "He is not, he is a master of Mr. Fu-Liu Qinghan."

Liu Qinghan immediately leaned forward toward Pei Yuanzhen: "Caomin Liu Qinghan, see His Royal Highness."

"Oh ..." Pei Yuanzhen raised her eyebrows like Chunliu, went up to him and looked up and down, and smiled slightly: "It was Mr. Fu's high feet, no wonder-"

Pei Yuanxi said, "Why, you just met?"

Pei Yuanzhen didn't speak, Liu Qinghan only said gently: "The grassroots are rude."

When I heard this, my heart seemed to be stunned for a moment, and there was a feeling that I couldn't tell, and Liu Qinghan had already arched them, pleaded guilty and said "lost companion", and turned to the west. The rest of the brothers and sisters looked at his back in the lobby, but the atmosphere was a little weird. Until Liu Qinghan's back disappeared in the corridor outside the side door, Pei Yuanzhen turned back and said, "I didn't expect, Brother Huang Really invited that great Confucian. "

Pei Yuanzhang nodded with a smile.

"The emperor is really anxious for the great prince."

"Invite this great Confucianist, I will have peace of mind in the future."

"In fact, my sister and sister have thought about a lot of things in the past two days. There is a merciless request, and I also hope that the emperor's brother Enzhun."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanzhang raised her eyebrows and turned to look at her: "In recent years, Yu's royal sister hasn't had anything to do with You, what's your pity?"

"My sisters and sisters also want to go to Jixian Temple and listen to Fu Bashang's lecture."

"what?"

Not only Pei Yuanzhang, I was taken aback and took two steps forward. Fortunately, the thick pillars outside the lobby covered my figure. I saw Pei Yuanzhang looking at her with some surprise: "You are going to Jixian temple?"

"I heard that this great Confucian has a world-famous talent, is very famous in Shudi, and his sisters want to open their eyes."

"However, Fu Bashang is blind now, and he has to entrust the higher one just for teaching. Yuanyuan, are you going?"

"He?" Pei Yuanzhen froze.

"His age is not much older than you."

"..." Pei Yuanzhen glanced back at the empty corridor again, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned back to Pei Yuanzhang and smiled: "Ambition is not old, and you have no plans to live for a hundred years. What. "

Pei Yuanzhang didn't speak, just squinting her eyes slightly, looking at the special elder princess, and Pei Yuanzhen smiled and looked at him. The two looked at each other for a long while, and Pei Yuanzhang finally laughed: "Since Yumei and Ji He opened his mouth, and if there was any disapproval, he would allow you to play. "

"Brother Xie Xie Xie Grace."

Seeing Pei Yuanzhen's kneeling down to Xie En toward Pei Yuanzhang, my heart was chaotic, and I didn't go in to see her, and turned silently to Dongxiang.

I always knew that Pei Yuanzhen was a special presence in the imperial city, not only because of her brother Pei Yuanchen who had been tragically killed in the battle for robbers, but not only for her already novice mother Zhao Shuyuan.

Even for me, she had many impenetrable things on her body.

However, I can't even see why she came to this annex today. I believe the facts are definitely not as good as what she said, just come to see the scenery; she met Liu Qinghan, what happened between them? Why did she ask Pei Yuanzhang to enter the Jixian Temple?

But what disturbed me even more was that she looked at Liu Qinghan.

She doesn't seem malicious to Liu Qinghan, but why is I still so upset even then?

Pei Yuanzhen, what will she bring to these people, these things ...

.

This anxiety seemed to spread from my heart. Originally, it was supposed to be the day when Emperor Fu Bayi returned to the palace, but Pei Yuanzhang suddenly ordered that he would stay in the pavilion for another day and return to the palace tomorrow.

He was the emperor, and he was ordered to defy no one, and everyone stayed there for another day.

The wind blows green bamboo outside, filled with the fragrance of green leaves, but for a whole day, my heart seems to be tormented on a small fire, and I still ca n’t get a little peace until the night comes, and the cold air penetrates into the room. I still Unable to suppress the inner restlessness, he went out in thin clothes.

The moon is just right.

The brilliance of the water shines on this elegant pavilion, adding a bit of quiet elegance. I slowly walked out of the East Chamber, but as soon as I left the house, I heard a neat footsteps outside. It sounded like a guard dispatch. .

Slightly confused-what else is scheduled so late?

After subconsciously walking over and looking at it, there were indeed two teams of guards gathering, led by an inventory, and whispered: "The emperor has the purpose, and ordered us to search within five miles of the surrounding area. Once we find an abnormality, we will immediately alert!"

"Yes."

Five miles away, that should have exceeded the area defined by the emperor.

What is he doing? Is he worried about what will happen on the way back? That's why I have to stay in the pavilion for one more day today, and order these guards to clear up at night?

Could he be skeptical--

There was some cold sweat in my palm, watching the guards carefully exit the side door, and soon the surroundings became quiet again. Only the insects at night and the long bird calls in the forest remained, and the night was even quieter. .

I stood at the door and looked at the opposite West Chamber from afar.

The lights glowed orange light in the night, and it seemed extremely warm, but I was standing in such a cold night, but I didn't dare to come near.

I must control myself.

Thinking of this, I sighed and turned to walk to the backyard of the building.

The backyard here is also surrounded by a large area of ​​bamboo forest, and the side is almost invisible. The luster of the moon shines on the green bamboo leaves, showing the luster of jade. Although it is such a cold night, it also makes people feel a few Sub-moist.

I pulled the clothes on my shoulders and walked forward gently, but I saw a familiar figure standing in the bamboo forest under the moonlight.

Yes, Liu Qinghan ...

When I saw the thin and long figure, my heart jumped abruptly.

Why is he here?

I couldn't help holding my breath, looking at the stranger who was the most familiar and stranger. He closed his eyes and leaned against a bamboo. He didn't know how long he had stood, his clothes were wet with Yelu, and the cold had penetrated. But he didn't seem to feel it at all, and stood still like this. The moonlight shone on his well-defined face, as if it had been coated with a light fluorescence, the eyelashes were dew, and the moonlight was slightly translucent, and under the straight bridge of his nose, his lips curled into a line. , Revealing a silent, but aura of breath.

What's up with him?

I have never seen such an expression on his face. In memory, he never hides his joy and sorrow. Even if life is hard, he never has such a look, but now he is so weak Look like.

Just looking at him like this, I felt that the handkerchief on my chest seemed to be hot again, and it was hot to me.

Blood, as if running, agitating the restlessness in my heart--

I want to go and see him!

But the next moment, the ears seemed to sound the words he said to me in the morning--

Lord Yue, my fire has been extinguished long ago ...

I have forgotten ...

When I think of it, my heart is still beating, but my heart is beating.

He couldn't bear to hurt me, so he said he forgot, but maybe he didn't want to see me. If I had hurt him that way, I wouldn't want to see people who hurt me like this again.

I do n’t want to see but have to see you again. How helpless and uncomfortable I am.

Thinking of this, I bit my lower lip and turned darkly, ready to leave.

But just when I was about to turn around, I saw Liu Qinghan suddenly turned around and grabbed the thick green bamboo I just relied on.

Immediately, before he could react to what he was going to do, he saw his powerful arm move fiercely.

Wow--

The bamboo was shaken by him, and the dew on the bamboo leaves suddenly rustled, like a pouring rain.

Drenched him.

What is he doing?

I opened my eyes in amazement, and saw that he was looking up at the cold drops of water, and the clothes on his cheeks, hair, and shoulders were soaked for a moment. How cold is this night? But he didn't seem to feel it at all, and he gritted his teeth hard, as if there was any unbearable pain, he shook it hard, and then ...

More drops of water fell and leaped, wet him all over.

I stood there and the whole person was stunned.

What is he doing? !!

It was already early autumn, and it was even colder at night. What was he going to do when he was so cold? !!

When I think of it, I can't stand anymore, I have to walk over in a hurry: "Light-"

While the word "light" was still on the tip of my tongue, I suddenly saw the other end of my eye, and a petite figure came out slowly. I stood still subconsciously, watching the figure walk towards Liu Qinghan.

Under the light of the moonlight, she was still in a colorful dress, like a butterfly.

Yes, Pei Yuanzhen.

As soon as I saw her, my throat was choked immediately. If I wanted to get out, I would be forgotten all at once, and just stared with my eyes wide open.

With a smile, her voice sounded softly in the night and the dew: "It seems that this star is not the last night, for whom the midnight is windy."

After hearing this sentence, Liu Qinghan shook his broad shoulders slightly, but instead of turning around immediately, he leaned on the bamboo and gasped heavily, as if he wanted to remove some emotions from his body. Like driving out here. After a while, he slowly turned around.

At this time, his expression had returned to normal, and he was even a bit cold with Han Lu. There was a wet hair on his forehead, and it dropped from the center of his eyebrows. A little dew was hanging on it, making his eyes colder and brighter.

"Have met the princess."

"Mr. Qinghan, what are you doing?"

"... laughed."

Pei Yuanzhen looked at him sideways, smiled, and said nothing. When he walked to his side, some dew fell in the air, and a trace fell on my face, bringing a coolness. Pei Yuanzhen reached out and picked up a few drops of dew. He smiled: "Mr. Qing Han seems to like water in particular.

"..."

"Is it because the water in Shu is good, so you can't bother with the water in the north?"

"..."

Liu Qinghan never spoke, but stood silently. Pei Yuanzhen turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "Don't Mr. Qinghan like to talk?"

"..." He was silent again, and said lightly: "If I speak, it is not more valuable than silence, I don't like talking."
