Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Shangyuan Lantern Festival

Yun Ge's injury was much lighter than Xu Pingjun's, and he was in a happy mood. Under the full care of Doctor Zhang, his injury healed quickly. By the time of the Shangyuan Festival, you can already walk around in the ground. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, during the daytime, Liu Fuling would sacrifice to the God of Taiyi. Because the upper, middle, and lower three elements in charge are the three officials of heaven, earth, and human beings, folks often use lanterns to congratulate the heavenly officials, so when the sun sets, Liu Fuling will light the first lantern of the Shangyuan Festival on the tower. lamp.

After the emperor lights the first lamp, people from thousands of households will light the lamps that have been prepared one after another, praying to the heavenly officials for a happy year. Under the protection of Qixi and Matcha, Yun Ge quietly left the palace while everyone gathered in front of the tower. Along the way, thousands of lamps are lit one after another, like fire trees and silver flowers blooming, reflecting the sky and the earth like colorful glass. Yun Ge has been confined in the palace for a long time, seeing such a beautiful scenery, it is really difficult to itch, she found an excuse for herself, anyway, there is no rush to do things at this moment, after playing, it's the same.Then he knocked on the wall of the carriage, ordered Fuyu to stop, and said with a smile, "It's no wonder that the barbarians are greedy for the Central Plains. Who wouldn't envy such a heavenly scene?"

Seeing that Yunge was about to get off the carriage, Mocha said hesitantly: "Miss, there are many people outside, we should just take a look in the carriage." Yun Ge ignored the matcha, and got out of the carriage with Fu Yu's support. Matcha looked at Qixi begging for help.Because Yu An had ordered everything to be obeyed by Yun Ge in advance, so Qixi shook her head slightly, indicating that everything was in accordance with Yun Ge's wishes. In order to leave the palace this time, they thought of countless ways, not to bring too many people to attract attention, but also to ensure Yun Ge's safety. They thought there was something important, but Yun Ge looked very playful. , It really doesn't look like there is anything serious.

Qixi and Fuyu were in the front to help Yunge block the crowd, and Matcha and Liushun were behind to protect Yunge. The five walked along the long street, looking at the lights. There are many talents and beauties in Chang'an City. The lamps made by these people are very elegant, and they are no longer simply worshiping heavenly officials.There may be pictures or words on the lamp.There are even a few friends who hang out the lamps made by each other and ask people to comment on the quality. The winner laughs, and the loser treats them to wine.There are also talented women who make poems and riddles on the lamps. If someone answers the next sentence or guesses the riddles, they will win the female celebrity that the talented women sew by themselves.The prizes are not precious, but they are very special, causing a lot of young men to scramble for the first.

Yun Ge laughed while watching: "It's similar to horse racing chasing girls and singing love songs on the grassland, except that the Central Plains people are more reserved." Meng Jue and Liu Bing were already standing under the city tower, crowding among the common people to watch Liu Fuling light the lamp. I thought that tonight's excitement, with Yun Ge's personality, would come and see everything, but she was not one of the maids standing on the tower. I don't know how her illness is, but it stands to reason that she should be able to get down and walk around.

The city was full of noise, but Meng Jue was a little bit depressed and wanted to go back home. Liu Bing had already guessed what Meng Jue was thinking, and his own heart was a little unclear, so although the two walked side by side, neither of them bothered to talk. Amidst the noisy voices, Liu Bingji asked suddenly: "Meng Jue, Mr. Ping told you that Yun Ge said that she only agreed to the emperor... did you stay there for a year?" Meng Jue nodded slightly. Liu Bing already smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations!" Meng Jue was not particularly happy, and the smile on his lips was still faint.

When Liu Bing saw Huo Chengjun who was alone in the crowd, he was a little strange and a little funny.In the sea of ​​people, if one is not paying attention, the relatives and friends traveling together will be separated, but they are enemies and meet face to face on a narrow road. Huo Chengjun wore a green sarong, and his black hair was tied up in a simple but charming emerald bun, with a thorn hairpin pinned to the bun, very simple and simple, just like the countless girls on the street today.It's just that they were holding hands with their female companions, talking and laughing while watching the fun and admiring the lanterns, while Huo Chengjun was alone, walking silently among the crowd.

Tonight may be her last Lantern Festival among the people, and from then on, she will spend her whole life in the numerous palaces of Weiyang Palace. She deliberately dismissed the maid and ran out by herself. She didn't know what she wanted to see and what she wanted.She just walked among the crowd without even thinking about anything in her mind, just walking. But when she saw that graceful figure across the long street lights and shadows, she suddenly understood what she wanted to see. Heartbroken, she couldn't move an inch. It turns out that I still can't forget him, and it turns out that my Xun Mi Mi is still him.

It turns out that the green skirt that I seem to be holding casually is just because I know that he prefers green. The Jingchai sarong turned out to be just a dream that has passed away in my heart. Liu Bing had seen Huo Chengjun standing blankly in the crowd, staring at Meng Jue in a daze. The people around her came and went, bumping into her from time to time, but she didn't seem to notice it. Meng Jue glanced casually at the various silk lanterns beside him, but did not see Huo Chengjun for a long time. Liu Bingji coughed a few times, poked Meng Jue with his arm, and signaled Meng Jue to look at Huo Chengjun.

Meng Jue stopped when he saw Huo Chengjun. Liu Bingji said in a low voice: "She has been watching you for a long time, it's a big festival, go over and say something! At least say hello." Meng Jue sighed inaudibly, and walked towards Huo Chengjun, "Are you looking at the lamp?" Huo Chengjun nodded, "You also come to see the lamp?" Liu Bing was speechless, one asked nonsense, the other answered even more nonsense, the two smart people became fools, fortunately he did not have the "blessing" in his life to enjoy such ambiguity, so he didn't have to be a fool.

After the greetings were finished, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Meng Jue didn't speak, neither did Huo Chengjun, Liu Bingji silently looked at Meng Jue, then at Huo Chengjun. The three of them: Meng Jue is handsome, Liu Bing is already imposing, and Huo Chengjun, although dressed in a silk hairpin cloth, can hardly hide his beauty. The three of them stood in the street, causing passers-by to turn their heads. Meng Jue saluted Huo Chengjun and wanted to say goodbye. Huo Chengjun knew that this might be the last time he was alone with Meng Jue. He felt sad and wanted to speak, but his lips moved slightly and he lowered his head again. Before Meng Jue could speak, Liu Bing said, "Since we met by chance, why don't we go shopping and watch the lights together!" Huo Chengjun nodded silently, Meng Jue stared at Liu who was already ill, and did not make a sound. Liu Bing already chuckled: "Miss Huo, please." The three people with complicated relationships admired the lights together. Although there is one more person, there are fewer words between each other. Liu Bing has slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, letting Huo Chengjun and Meng Jue walk side by side, admiring the lights and rewarding others. Huo Chengjun was originally walking on the outside, in the crowd, sometimes he was bumped into.Meng Jue moved to the outside without leaving a trace, blocking the crowd for her. All kinds of lamps in different styles.The big ones are as tall as a person, and the small ones are no more than the size of a fist. Some are made of high-quality ice silk, and some are made of sheepskin. Huo Chengjun was in a trance, and didn't really pay attention to the lamp above his head beside him.Some lights hung very low, and she would walk by without bending over, and some lights protruded into the road, and she would forget to dodge. Meng Jue always helped her block the lights when she was about to hit them, Or give her a gentle tug. His heart is harder and colder than cold iron, but his actions are always so gentle and considerate.Huo Chengjun suddenly wanted to scream and cry, and asked him why?Why? She had too many "whys" to ask him, but so what?After tonight's farewell, she will become another person. If he is Huo's enemy, then he will be her enemy. What if I ask? Tonight is the last time! Forget the past, don't think about the future, and live again tonight, just like when he and she met for the first time, there is no grievance, only longing for the good. Huo Chengjun smiled and pointed to a bulbous lamp above his head: "Meng Jue, what's the name of this lamp?" Meng Jue took a look: "The Yuzha small ball lamp." "What about the one that looks like an archway?" "Heavenly King Lamp." "What about the one that looks like a hydrangea? A hydrangea lamp?" "Although it looks like a hydrangea, you can see that the patterns on each piece of it are like tortoise patterns. The folks call it a tortoise pattern lamp, which symbolizes longevity. When the late emperor was 60 years old, someone presented a huge tortoise pattern lamp to the late emperor. , One hundred and eight oil lamps can be placed in the lamp, and after being lit, it can be seen from ten miles away.” "There is such a big lamp? I wonder how big the biggest lamp is tonight?" ... Huo Chengjun behaved like an innocent girl, walking beside his sweetheart, wandering in the dreamlike beauty of lanterns, smiling and jokingly revealing the heart of a worried daughter. All the passers-by cast envious eyes on them, what a couple of gods and gods. In the eyes of everyone envious, Huo Chengjun felt that everything seemed to be true. This person walked beside her, his gentle voice sounded in her ears, and he would occasionally comment on the lamp because of her jokes. Smile knowingly. God was not kind to her, but it generously gave her tonight. At least, tonight belongs to her. "Meng Jue, look..." Huo Chengjun turned his head and smiled at Meng Jue, but found that Meng Jue was still standing there, staring into the distance. Huo Chengjun followed Meng Jue's line of sight to the side, and her smile disappeared instantly. Between the two turrets, there are a few thick black ropes, and strings of lanterns hang from the ropes, and each string has more than 20 white silk lanterns.Because the rope is the same color as the night, it's hard to find if you don't pay attention. Looking from a distance, in the black night, countless precious lamps shine brightly in the void, like a crystal waterfall falling from the sky. In front of the crystal waterfall, a woman wearing a light green dress and a white fox cloak is holding an octagonal palace lantern in her hand, looking up at it carefully with her head raised. Not only did people collide, but even the colors of their clothes collided! In an instant, Huo Chengjun's mind suddenly became clear, he stared at the green color on Yunge's body, and smiled sadly. Tonight, like countless days before, was just a joke played by God.God gave her such a beautiful beginning, and God will give her such a cruel end. Tonight is not hers. Yun Ge really liked the palace lantern in his hand, but no matter how much money Qixi paid, the young scholars who made the palace lantern would not sell it. He only said that if they guessed the riddle correctly, the palace lantern would be given away for free, and if they failed to guess correctly, they would not sell it for a thousand dollars. Matcha and Fuyu, one pretending to be red and the other talking for a long while, the scholar just smiled and shook his head. Yun Ge was not good at guessing riddles, tried twice, but failed to guess three in a row, and didn't like such things that took too much brainpower, so he had no choice but to give up. Handing the palace lantern back to the scholar, he turned around and wanted to leave, but the moment he turned his head, his footsteps landed on the ground. Looking back suddenly: The old people, the past, and the past are all in the dimly lit place. Under the lantern, in the crowd. Meng Jue and Huo Chengjun stood side by side, like a couple of gods. Yun Ge stared at them for a moment, and a faint smile floated on his lips.In all fairness, Meng Jue and Huo Chengjun are really a couple. Meng Jue came across the crowd, her steps hurried. Huo Chengjun didn't even know why he followed Meng Jue. Liu Bing had already squeezed through the crowd, and murmured, "It's really a festival for the Heavenly Officials!" Meng Jue thought that Yun Ge would turn around and leave when he saw him, but unexpectedly Yun Ge stood still with a smile, as if waiting for him to arrive. When he hurriedly walked in front of Yun Ge, his speech was a bit stagnant, and he didn't know what to say. Yun Ge asked with a smile, "Are you guys looking at the lamp?" Liu Bing already lowered his head and let out a laugh.Yun Ge gave him a puzzled look. Meng Jue said to Yun Ge: "Bing and I have come out to watch the lights, and we met Miss Huo by chance on the way." Huo Chengjun's eyes darkened, and he turned his head away, but Yun Ge didn't seem to hear anything, and only asked Liu Bingji: "Brother, how is sister's recovery?" Because of Huo Chengjun, Liu Bing didn't want to mention this matter any more, so he nodded vaguely: "Very good." Meng Jue glanced at the palace lantern that Yun Ge had just taken: "Seeing that you like it very much, why don't you want it?" Yun Ge pointed at the lantern riddle and smiled helplessly.It suddenly occurred to me that the three people who came here all liked to use their brains and play tricks.She walked to Liu Bingji's side, and said with a smile: "One person can get the palace lantern as long as he can guess three lantern riddles in a row. Brother, you can help me guess it, okay?" Liu Bing glanced at Meng Jue. Although he was not displeased with him, he didn't want to agree to Yun Ge directly, so he said after a couple of huh, "Let's take a look together!" Huo Chengjun casually threw a few coins into the pot on the case, and asked the scholar to draw a puzzle for her to guess.Taking the bamboo stick in one hand, he asked Yun Ge with a smile, "Why are you out of the palace? Didn't the prince... the prince accompany you to look at the lantern? The prince is very thoughtful, even if you want ten palace lanterns, you can just take it." It is true that Yun Ge's identity cannot leave the palace easily, and it is definitely wrong to say that he slipped out, and it is not appropriate to say that Liu Fuling knew about it, so Yun Ge just smiled and did not answer Huo Chengjun immediately. Ever since Huo Chengjun appeared, Fuyu, who was fully on guard, hurriedly replied: "Director Yu is not very satisfied with the lanterns purchased in the palace this year, so he ordered the servants to take a look at the folk styles. The servants are neither literate nor able to draw. Painting, so Director Yu authorized Miss Yun to go out of the palace, if there is any good style, write it down first, and you can order someone to do it during the Shangyuan Festival next year." Huo Chengjun already had resentment in his heart that he couldn't express, but Fuyu turned on her angrily. She sneered and asked Fuyu, "Did I ask you a question? Was it also Manager Yu's order to interrupt and interrupt?" Fuyu immediately bowed and apologized: "The slave knows his mistake." Huo Chengjun snorted coldly, "Did you just know?" Fu Yu raised his hand to slap himself, but Yun Ge smiled and blocked Fu Yu's hand: "A slave intervenes between masters to talk, that's called 'grabbing and interrupting'. I'm also a slave, why do I say 'grabbing and interrupting'? The young lady asked, but the servant did not reply to the young lady in time, Fu Yu hurriedly replied to the young lady's words because he was afraid of delaying her time, he should be right, the wrong is the servant, please punish the young lady." Huo Chengjun took a soft nail from Yunge, took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his chest, and said with a coquettish smile: "Miss Yun is really good at joking. I heard that the prince has rested on your couch, so I just ate it." You are so brave, I dare not punish you!" Meng Jue, who was writing the answer to the riddle, suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Ge, with waves surging in his black eyes. Liu Bing hastily yelled: "I have guessed this riddle! 'The people of the country are the most important, and the officials of the court are the least.' But these two words?" Liu Bing had already taken the writing brush from the table, wrote the characters "big" and "small" on the bamboo piece, and handed it to the scholar who made the riddle. The scholar smiled and said, "Congratulations, young master, you guessed it right. You can take a small pumpkin lantern." If you can guess two riddles correctly in a row, you can get the lotus lantern, and if you can guess three riddles correctly, you can win the first prize tonight." The scholar pointed to the palace lantern that Yun Ge had just seen. Liu Bingji laughed and asked, "Don't you congratulate me?" But no one paid attention to him. Meng Jue was still staring at Yun Ge. Although Yun Ge was angry with Huo Chengjun's words, she was even more angry at being stared at by Meng Jue, and stared back dissatisfied.Let's not talk about whether Huo Chengjun's nonsense is trustworthy, even if it is true, so what?Why do you look at me like this, as if I did something wrong!What about yourself? Liu Bing saw that Huo Chengjun was still smiling and wanted to talk, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss Huo, do you have a clue to your puzzle?" Only then did Huo Chengjun remember that there was still a lantern riddle in his hand, he picked up the bamboo stick with a smile, and read it with Liu Bing. "Sijun has been farewell for twenty years." This riddle is not difficult, Liu Bing guessed it immediately, and said with a smile: "This is a homophonic riddle." Huo Chengjun had already thought about it, his face darkened, and he looked at Meng Jue, but there was nowhere in Meng Jue's eyes? The uppercase "20" of "twenty" is just the pronunciation of the word "nian", which means not forgetting after thinking about it for twenty years. Liu Bing had already picked up a pen and wrote the answer to the riddle: "Never forget." Passed it to the scholar. Liu Bing already sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Injure the enemy one point, and self-injury three points, why bother?" Huo Chengjun has neither close sisters nor close friends, and only he knows all his thoughts, and no one has ever really cared about her pain and suffering.Liu Bingji's words were half pity and half persuasion, which just hit Huo Chengjun's heart, and the unwillingness in her eyes gradually turned into sadness. Meng Jue half grasped and half held Yun Ge's wrist, and forcibly took Yun Ge away. Liu Bing had already seen the two of them leave, but he was relieved, otherwise Huo Chengjun and Yun Ge got together with Meng Jue in between, and he didn't know what would happen. The lights of the flower market are like daytime, crowds are like a tide, and laughter and joy are endless. However, Huo Chengjun only felt that the excitement made him feel more and more lonely, and he wanted to leave before saying hello to Liu Bingji. The scholar shouted: "You have guessed two riddles easily, don't you want to guess another one?" Huo Chengjun glanced coldly at Yun Ge's favorite palace lantern, and walked away. The scholar took the bamboo stick that Meng Jue had written halfway, and said anxiously: "I asked people to guess this riddle the year before last, but this year, no one has guessed it right. I think this young man is very quick-witted, Don't you want to try it?" Liu Bing has already called Huo Chengjun to stop: "Miss Huo, since you're here, you might as well have fun once, after all, it's only once a year. If you don't mind, can I help you guess the lamp?" Huo Chengjun stood silently for a while, then nodded: "You are right, this is the only time." Pulling himself together, he asked the scholar with a smile, "Have you really been guessing this riddle for three years?" The scholar said proudly, "Of course!" Liu Bingji said with a smile: "We don't want this palace lantern of yours, do you have other lanterns? If there is one that this young lady likes, I will guess your riddle. If not, we can only go to another house." The scholar looked at the palace lantern above his head, wondering what was wrong with the lantern.After thinking for a while, I squatted down and searched among a bunch of boxes. When Huo Chengjun heard Liu Bingji's words, he couldn't help turning his head to take a deep look at Liu Bingji. Now he is no longer a down-and-out cockfighting dog in Chang'an, and he no longer has the slightest shabby look in his body.He wears a sapphire crown in his hair, wears a lake blue brocade robe, and wears black satin official boots.Instead of hanging jade ornaments on the waist like ordinary officials, there is a dagger tied around his waist, which makes him look even more heroic. The scholar came out with a box in his arms, opened it with great care, and brought out an octagonal palace lantern with hanging ribbons.The style is exactly the same as what Yunge liked before, but the workmanship is more exquisite.The lamp bone is made of rare Lingnan white bamboo, and the eight sides of the lamp are made of Bingjiao yarn, with eight pictures embroidered on it, telling the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.The woman in the painting has a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance.Whether they are happy, sad, angry, or weeping, they are all lifelike and moving, even compared with the embroidery used by the imperial court, they are not inferior, on the contrary, they are more unique. Huo Chengjun is still a young girl, although her thoughts are more complicated than girls of the same age, cuteness and beauty are human nature, how could she not like such a beautiful palace lantern?What's more, this lamp is far better than Yun Ge's lamp. The more she looked at it with the lamp in her hand, the more she liked it, and after enjoying it for a while, she reluctantly returned it to the scholar. Liu Bing had already seen this, smiled and said to the scholar: "Bring your riddle here!" The scholar handed over the bamboo stick, and Liu Bing already saw the words "Dark Fragrance and Clear Snow" written on the front and "Type One" written on the back.After concentrating on it for a while, it seems clear but not clear, but I can't be sure. Huo Chengjun thought about it for a while, and felt that he had no idea, and he didn't want to think about it any more, he just looked at Liu Bingji silently. Seeing that Liu's illness was no longer the same as the previous two riddles, the scholar opened his mouth to guess, and couldn't help being both proud and disappointed. Liu Bing had turned the bamboo stick to the front, and saw that Meng Jue had written an unfinished sentence below: "Dark incense cage..." The scholar said puzzledly: "I don't know what the young master meant at the beginning. The answer to this riddle is just typing one word. Why does he seem to want to write a sentence?" Liu Bing had already confirmed the answer in his heart, and he also understood why Meng Jue wrote a sentence. Mr. Meng must be a little dissatisfied with the scholar's arrogance and difficulties for Yun Ge, so he decided to "retaliate" him with some flair and taunt him. Proud talent. Liu Bing has picked up his pen with a smile, and was just about to continue writing Meng Jue, but suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable and depressed. After thinking for a moment, he started again next to Meng Jue's words and wrote: "Dark Fragrance Deep and Shallow Cage Qingxue." After finishing writing, he stared at his own handwriting and smiled, handed the bamboo stick back to the scholar, lifted the lantern straight up, put both hands in front of Huo Chengjun, bowed and saluted, "Miss, please accept it." The men and women who watched the fun all laughed and clapped their hands. They saw Huo Chengjun's jingchai sarong and Liu Bing dressed up as a noble son, and they thought it was another chance encounter and a good story on the Lantern Festival. Huo Chengjun has received many important gifts in his life, but this is the first time he has received such a gift.Hearing everyone laughing and yelling "Accept it, accept it", I just felt that it was a big violation of the boudoir teaching since I was a child, but there was something strange in my heart, half annoyed and half ashamed, I bowed to Liu Bingji and bowed: "Thank you Young master." After getting up, he took the palace lantern with both hands. Liu Bing smiled knowingly, but Huo Chengjun was a little embarrassed, holding the palace lantern, and hurried out of the crowd amidst the good-hearted laughter of the crowd. Liu Bingji also hurried out of the crowd and followed Huo Chengjun. Holding a bamboo stick, the scholar muttered to himself, looking at his puzzle: "Dark Fragrance and Qingxue." Then look at Meng Jue's unfinished answer: "Dark Fragrance Cage...cage...Dark Fragrance Cage Qingxue. "Looking at Liu Bingji at the end, he smiled and read: "The dark fragrance is dark and the cage is Qingxue. Good, good, good guess! Good match!" Meng Jue and Liu Bing already answered the riddle with a riddle, three sentences shot They all have the same word, but the riddle is better than one sentence. The scholar didn't mind the ridicule in Liu Bingji's writing, and praised with a smile: "Young master is really..." When he looked up, there was no sign of Liu Bingji and Huo Chengjun, only the crowd of people on the street was still flowing. Some people wanted to throw money in the quiz, but the scholar waved them away.The tourists were dissatisfied, but the scholar waved his hand, sweeping away the previous weak and sour, and there was an air of life and death. The tourists were in awe, and could only complain and leave. The scholar began to pack the lanterns, ready to leave. Seeing these four people tonight is already a worthwhile trip.The Celestial Dynasty, which made my father never forget until his death and made my mother die in depression, is indeed outstanding! Yun Ge was dragged by Meng Jue to the outsider in Dengshi. Matcha and Fuyu wanted to stop her, but Qixi thought of another strange order from Yu An: If Yunge and Meng Jue are together, they are not allowed to approach or disturb them.Manager Yu unexpectedly predicted things like a god, guessing that Yun Ge and Meng Jue would meet? Qi Xi told everyone to follow Yun Ge from a distance, keeping a distance where they couldn't hear their conversation, but could see Yun Ge. Meng Jue walked with Yun Ge for a while, and the shock and anger when he heard Huo Chengjun's words for the first time gradually calmed down, and he felt more funny and helpless in his heart. "Why did you run out and wander around alone before your injury healed?" "I want you to take care of my business?" "Cough recently?" "You want to take care of it?" Meng Jue didn't bother to say anything, and directly held Yun Sing's wrist to feel her pulse, while the other hand had to cope with her struggle.After a while, he let go of Yun Ge in deep thought: "Tell Doctor Zhang not to give you any more needles, I'm mixing incense shavings for you recently, if you cough at night and can't sleep, throw a handful of shavings into the smoker .” Yun Ge snorted coldly to show his kindness. Meng Jue straightened the cloak for Yun Ge: "Although it's warm today, your body won't be able to stand outside for a long time. I'll take you back." Yun Ge stood there without moving, his face full of anger just now turned into embarrassment. Meng Jue asked, "What happened in the palace?" Yun Ge wanted to squeeze a smile, but failed: "There is nothing in the palace, I...I want to ask you something." Meng Jue said concisely: "Say." "The emperor wants to order the eldest son to enter Chang'an. He is afraid that the eldest son will not come, so I hope you can play around with it." That's why you're standing in front of me?Meng Jue smiled, but his eyes were extraordinarily clear: "Impossible. The emperor will issue an edict if he wants to. Whether the king of Changyi will come or not is his own business, and has nothing to do with me." "The emperor has absolutely no malice." "It has nothing to do with me." Yun Ge was angry: "How can it be related to you?" Meng Jue wanted to say, "What, it has nothing to do with me", but after a moment of silence, he asked, "Why did he rest on your couch?" "You..." Yun Ge patted her chest to comfort herself not to be angry, "Meng Jue, you really are not a gentleman." "When did I tell you I was a gentleman?" If you want someone, you have to bow your head. Yun Ge answered Meng Jue honestly, but in a bad mood: "One night we couldn't sleep, so we ate and chatted on my bed, and then fell asleep in a daze. It's over." "It's easy to understand that he can't sleep. It would be strange if he could sleep well one day. But you are a person who can't be shaken when you fall asleep. Why can't you fall asleep?" Yun Ge lowered his head and did not answer. Seeing that Yunge didn't answer, Meng Jue changed the question: "When did this happen?" Because Yun Ge had counted with Liu Fuling that night about how long it would be until the New Year, so he answered straight away: "The third day of the twelfth lunar month." Meng Jue asked the time because she wanted to see what happened in those few days, which troubled Yun Ge until she lost sleep.After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that there was nothing important going on inside and outside the palace, and was about to ask Yun Ge again, when he suddenly remembered that it was the first time Liu Bingji had entered the palace to see Liu Fuling, Xu Pingjun had begged him to visit Liu Bingji safety. Meng Jue thought about the skirts that flashed across the red corridors outside the greenhouse, and the sharp edge in her eyes gradually faded away. Seeing that Meng Jue's expression was still cold, Yun Ge sneered, "Meng Jue, what right do you have to mind Huo Chengjun's words?" "Who told you that I mind? Let me remind you again, now you are asking me to do something, pay attention to your tone of voice." Yun Ge flicked his sleeves and left, walked for a while, stopped suddenly, took a deep breath, patted his cheek lightly, made himself smile, turned around and walked towards Meng Juexing: "Young Master Meng, what conditions do you want?" Meng Jue stared at Yun Ge thoughtfully: "This matter is very important to him." Yun Ge smiled and said: "Since you have weighed the importance, you can raise conditions." "Answer me a question first. There are so many kings and grandsons surnamed Liu. Why did you only order the king of Changyi to come to Chang'an? Why should I trust him?" Yun Ge's smirk faded away, and she said solemnly: "Meng Jue, please believe me, I promise you with my life that Liu He will never be in danger in Chang'an, maybe it will only be beneficial." I feel that the words are too full , and added, "There will never be danger from the emperor. As for others, I think he should have the ability to protect himself." Meng Jue pondered. Yun Ge stared at him without blinking. After a while, Meng Jue said, "Okay, I believe you." Meng Jue said "believe" her, not "promise" her, Yun Ge smiled and asked: "What do you want me to do? You are a shrewd businessman, don't ask the price that the buyer can't afford." Meng Jue was silent for a while, and said: "For one year, you are not allowed to get close to him, you can't hug him, you can't kiss him, you can't sleep with him, and you are not allowed to do anything." "Meng Jue, you..." Yun Ge's face flushed red. Meng Jue smiled: "After all, he is deeply educated by the etiquette of the Han people. If he really values ​​you, he won't touch you until he officially gets married. However, I don't have much confidence in you." "Meng Jue, who do you regard me as yours?" Meng Jue's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "I said before, I won't promise easily, but I will never take back what I promised. I will definitely fulfill my promise to you." Yun Ge stared at Meng Jue in disbelief. Is there anyone in this world who is more difficult to understand than him? Meng Jue smiled lightly and said, "You just need to answer me now, 'yes' or 'no'." Yun Ge was in a daze.Meng Jue limited it to one year, presumably because Sister Xu told him about the one-year agreement between Brother Ling and me, but he never expected what Brother Ling wanted to do.In the future, no matter whether it is Liu Bingji or Liu He ascending the throne, based on Meng Jue's friendship with them, he will be an extremely powerful minister. The beauty of the entire great man is in front of him, so how can he have time to pay attention to me?Not to mention only one year. Meng Jue looked at the dumbfounded Yun Ge, and said with a smile, "Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about the agreement between you and me, especially the emperor." Yun Ge rolled his eyes around, and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you. If you violate it, let me... let me never be happy in this life." Meng Jue nodded slightly: "I'll take you back." In the carriage, Yun Ge didn't speak, Meng Jue didn't make a sound, only the wheels of the carriage "squeaked" and "squeaked". When he was about to reach the palace gate, Meng Jue said: "Come here! There should be someone from Chief Yu waiting to pick you up." After speaking, he got out of the carriage. Yun Ge raised the curtain of the carriage: "It's far away from where you live, I'll let Fu Yu take you back in a carriage! I'll just walk over there." Meng Jue said gently: "No need, I want to walk alone. Yun Ge, take care of yourself and don't worry about others, especially those in the palace. Don't trust anyone." Yun Ge smiled: "Meng Jue, why don't you understand? I am not the same person as you." The vague smile on Meng Jue's face was more like self-mockery: "My problem is not that I don't understand you, but that I understand you better than I imagined." Yun Ge was stunned. Meng Jue turned around and stepped into the night with a steady pace.
