Chapter 27 No seeking knowledge, meeting today and meeting again

After only a few steps, the people behind had already caught up and shouted: "Mei Jieyu, please stay." This person saw my back and knew that I was Mei Jieyu, so he stopped and wanted to find out. He had already walked in front of me, and I raised my eyebrows to see that it was Chunzhen, Prince of Ling. I saw him holding a jade flute in one hand and a sword in the other, looking at me with a smile on his face, and said: "It really is you, with bowed eyebrows." He actually called me to frown, this prince is really informal and has a loose temperament, I don't care about him, I replied lightly: "Yes, Prince Ling."

He hehe laughed and said, "Don't be so indifferent, I don't like crowds, so Li Yan came here to see the snow scene, presumably you are too?" I nodded, and the annoyance just now disappeared. To be honest, it is not easy to be annoyed in such a quiet snowy night. Under the cold moon, the cool wind suddenly blows, the broken jade falls, the twigs of green trees, the red plums in buds, the rouge, the painted buildings and the carved eaves, and a foot of Qiong Bing shines on the crystal.He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "This year's few snowfalls have been so heavy that the rivers and mountains have been smashed, which is gratifying."

I looked at several plum blossoms under the cold moon, they were cold and pretty through the ice and snow, and smoke flew up from the cold trees, and I couldn't help murmuring: "Your life is made of ice, and it will be fragrant without flowers." "Okay, it's good to say, 'Your life is made of ice, but without flowers you will be fragrant', and only this sentence is worthy of Mae Jieyu's demeanor." He praised from the side. Feeling that he had slipped his words, he was embarrassed at that moment, and then said: "Let me go first, Meiwan." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

He raised his hand holding the flute and called out: "Wait a minute, Mei Jieyu will not be too late to leave after listening to this king's poem." Out of politeness and curiosity, I stopped in my tracks.I saw him looking at a few cold plum trees, thinking about the distant mountains, and slowly chanted: "When a tree of Qiongyao is like snow, there is no need for frost and dream obsession. Painting shapes have been sent here through the ages, and snow is like plum blossoms like clothes." I smiled slightly at him and didn't speak, but I was thinking about the artistic conception in his poems in my heart.

He sighed, and said softly: "If you can drink with a confidant in the plum garden, or smile proudly at the mountains and rivers, or talk about your heart with a piano and sword, then you will really be at ease." The prince of the mausoleum was talking nonsense, I ignored him, and walked away, and he didn't call me anymore. Faintly heard behind him, the sound of the jade flute, the plum shadow catching the wind, and a gentle fragrance.After walking a long distance, he turned around and looked around, and saw Chunzhen, the prince of Zhongling in the snowy land, dancing his sword under the plum blossom tree, his figure was as elegant and distant as a green pine, blowing the snow rustlingly with his sword posture.

I couldn't help sighing: "On such a night, if I can cook wine with green plums in Yueyang Palace with Chunyi, and push a cup to cherish, it would be a beautiful mood. Let him live in the world for thousands of years, and only ask for a bosom friend." I asked myself, am I thinking of Chunyi?At this time, he should be embracing left and right at the banquet, drinking heavily, forgetting about my frown. Back at Yueyang Palace, they were gambling and entertaining in front of the hall, seeing me coming back alone, Hong Jian stepped forward and asked, "Miss, why did you come back so early?"

I managed to squeeze out a smile: "I'm a little tired. I came back from a walk all the way. It's quite leisurely." Then I said to them: "You guys play, everyone who celebrates the New Year should be happy." I ordered Xiao Xingzi to go to Qianqing Palace to call Qiuxi and Liu Kuigui back, lest I should be worried if I can't be found, remember not to disturb others. I felt a little hungry again, and then I remembered that I didn't eat anything at the banquet tonight.So I ordered Mei Xin to cook a small bowl of Lantern Festival for me. After eating, I sat down to watch the New Year with them, watched them gamble, and passed the time.

This night passed indifferently like this, and the new year is about to begin. When I woke up, the sky had cleared up, and beams of sunlight shone on the crystal white snow, reflecting a dazzling halo. After washing and washing, the little Xuanzi beside the emperor sent a message to Yueyang Palace: "The emperor is waiting for Empress Jieyu in Mingyue Palace." I asked, "Do you know what happened?" Xiao Xuanzi replied: "Well, I don't know about this, but there are still many empresses drinking tea with the emperor in the Mingyue Hall." After that, he led me to go with him.

The Mingyue Hall is built in the center of the Moon Lake. It is a pavilion in the water. It is the most elegant to watch the bright moon from the pavilion. You need to cross a bridge to get to this hall.Just after entering the hall, I saw Chunyi, Concubine Yun and Concubine Wu sitting there together, Chunyi saw me and said with a smile: "You are here." After I saluted, the emperor beckoned me to sit beside him. Seeing him take out a fresh lychee, peel off the shell, and hand the fresh lychee meat to my mouth, I thought that all the concubines around me were there, so I hurriedly said shyly: "Your Majesty..."

He smiled: "Eat it, this was sent to the palace by the emperor's brother, there are only a few in total." I looked at the plates of lychees on the table, with ruddy shells, and felt very puzzled. I couldn't help asking: "How can there be such fresh lychees in this season?" The emperor smiled and said: "This is the credit of the emperor's brother. He took the fresh lychees that were transported from Lingnan by the fast horse in the old year, chilled them in ice, and sealed them. Today, a special order was sent to the palace for me and all the concubines. Have a taste."

The elder brother he was talking about should be Prince Chunzhen of Ling. Thinking of last night, his heart was a little messy.Then he turned his head and smiled at Chunyi: "Prince Ling really has a heart." The emperor said again: "Yes, the emperor also ordered someone to send a few snow lotus trees on the iceberg, which grow in the cold place of the extreme north, and can only be picked from steep snow peaks. When I turn around, I will order someone to send one to you." In your palace." I hurriedly postponed, "No, my concubine can't afford such a precious snow lotus." Concubine Yun, who was sitting by the side, brought a peeled lychee to the emperor's mouth, smiled at me and said, "Sister Mei can't afford it, who else can afford it?" The emperor had a lychee in his mouth, frowned and said with a smile, "Hehe, you have it too, Concubine Yun." Concubine Yun hurriedly laughed and said, "The concubine will thank the emperor." At this time, Lan Zhaorong, who was beside Concubine Yun, smiled lightly: "There is a poem in the ancients that says, 'A concubine laughs as soon as she rides the world of mortals', the emperor treats Sister Mei as an honorable favor." The emperor turned to Lan Zhaorong with glaring eyes: "Do you compare me to Tang Minghuang?" Then he smiled, "But Tang Minghuang can be regarded as a generation of Mingjun, and his romantic love with Concubine Yang moved me." The fear on Lan Zhaorong's face disappeared just now, and he changed the topic, saying: "This Prince Ling is really caring, and he sent such a precious gift to the emperor in the New Year. He admires him, so sister Mae must have heard about the reputation of Prince Ling, right?" She suddenly asked this question, which made me secretly startled.I raised my eyebrows and looked at Chun Yi, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to a peaceful expression in an instant.I was flustered in my heart, but calmly said: "Sister Lan, forgive me for being ignorant and ignorant, I have never heard of Prince Ling's name." As I said that, my heart was beating wildly. Lan Zhaorong seemed reluctant, and said with a slight smile, "Yes, with bones made of ice like my sister, and the fragrance of jade, many people will not be able to enter your heart." I suddenly felt something was wrong, Lan Zhaorong's words concealed a sharp edge, and what she said, "Bones made of ice, the fragrance of pure jade" is the same as what I said to Prince Ling last night, "A life is made of ice, without flowers. "Zi Yexiang" said, could it be that last night... I still tried my best to clear it up, and said calmly: "Sister Lan is really joking, my sister is a dull person, how dare she be proud." I secretly looked at Chunyi, he didn't seem to care about what we said, but my heart was full of waves, I was afraid that Chunyi would doubt me because of this. When I was feeling melancholy, Concubine Wu came over, took my hand and said: "Sister, I heard that you are proficient in rhythm and have excellent piano skills. There happens to be a Guzheng here. Why don't you play a piece for the emperor and all the sisters to appreciate?" I knew Concubine Wu intended to rescue me, so she hurriedly smiled and got up to meet her.
