Chapter 3 Shangyuan

Shangyuan (1) Then came the second year of Shangyuan. I'm going to congratulate the queen mother first, and then go to the Baoan Hall. Concubine Yang Shu entered the palace at the age of twelve. She was also the beloved of my father and the one who raised me. I always called my mother the big empress and the little empress.Since the father left a will to make her the empress dowager, the mother named her residence "Baanan" and honored her as the empress dowager Baoan. But now, except for New Year's greetings, she never shows up again. Received congratulations in Changqing Hall, returned to Yanqing Hall, removed the fox fur and roasted it on the stove, and the snow began to fall heavily.

I stood in the hall and watched the huge snowflakes pave the royal garden pale in a blink of an eye. "It's getting late, long live you can go to Zhengyang Tower and have fun with the people." Bofang reminded me. Zhengyang Gate is located in the middle of the three south gates of the palace city, with Zhengyang Tower on it. Actually, I didn't want to go that day, but it was the queen mother's order, so I had to go with Bofang. I still remember half a month ago, on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I received envoys from various countries in the Changqing Palace. They said that they were envoys, but in fact they all had their own confidantes.

Not very willing to go.But still had to go. Zhengyang Building is facing Yu Street. There are bright yellow thin curtains hanging on all sides of the building, and the imperial seat is in the middle.When I went up to sit down, the curtain hadn't been lowered yet, and the people below saw it and burst into cheers. Although I know that no matter who is sitting in this seat, they will reflect like this, but I am still a little happy in my heart. After thinking about it, in fact, who doesn't know that all the edicts come from the Queen Mother of Chonghui Palace? Laugh self-deprecatingly.The door-to-door music has been finished, and the curtain is lowered.

I nodded to King Yan who set up a colorful shed on the left. He is the famous Eight Great Kings and has been entrusted with eight kinds of thrones. Zhao Yuanyan's name is even feared by his mother, but now he has a different opinion from her mother and has retreated at home. The light in front was dazzling, I looked up, and it turned out that the Kaifeng Mansion had set up a colorful shed with yellow Luo, and Yulong held the yellow-covered palm fan directly outside the curtain. Two lamp balls are hung on the second floor, both of which are big lamps with a radius of Zhangxu.Next to the building, a potter's wheel is used to twist the water lights from the top of the mountain, pouring down like a waterfall, and under the radiance of the lights that form a mountain next to it, gold and jade are flowing.

On the left and right gates, grass handles were tied to form dragons, and green curtains were used to cover the cage. Tens of thousands of lamps and candles were densely placed on the grass. Walk like two glowing dragons. The branches of peaches, plums, pears and apricots planted by the brick and stone Yugou waterway on the imperial street are full of colorful lanterns, Pisces, pagodas, and palace styles, high in the night sky, accompanied by fluttering white snow, colorful lanterns, torches, and snow-colored lanterns. The flowers are bright and the fog is melting, just like the day. "Downstairs there are one hundred pairs of red gauze pasted gold candle cages, one hundred pairs of glass and jade pillar palm fan lamps, one hundred pairs of red gauze and beaded lanterns, one hundred pairs of jade pillars and jade curtains and windows, and one hundred pairs of gold leaf cutouts by the Queen Mother. Hundreds of phoenixes are right, and they all give gifts to the people." Bofang said in my ear.

I just nod. The fluffy golden phoenix was thrown down by the maid upstairs, and the people below scrambled into a ball. I sat on the Zhengyang Tower and looked at the brilliance of hundreds of thousands of lamps and candles below. There was coquettish excitement, brilliant hustle and bustle, and laughing crowds everywhere.Tens of thousands of households compete for lanterns and candles, thousands of lights compete for splendor, there are movie and music booths everywhere, roads full of songs, thousands of households, thousands of doors, reeds and reeds, streets and alleys, BMW carved cars.

Even the snow melted within three feet of the ground. Such prosperity is really charming like a dream. It's a pity that I'm always different from them, and I can't go inside anyway. I'm just a bystander here, imagining that all this is my own, what's the use? I was in a bad mood today, thinking that there should be such a grand event for the Liao people. After the people downstairs started to quiet down and watched the juggling, I just felt that it was not interesting, so I said to Bofang, "" Let's go back to the palace" and stood up. "Why don't you watch it for a while, Your Majesty? It's not yet three drums."

"No, a little dizzy. Probably blown by the wind." Bo Fang hurriedly asked cautiously: "Do you want to pass on the imperial physician?" "No. Let's go." I stood up and heard the sound of whips being beaten outside the building. Hundreds of thousands of lamps and candles went up and down the mountain tower, and all went out with the sound of whips. The whole world suddenly dimmed. All the joking around is far away from me, and I can only see those snowflakes slowly drifting down in the air one by one in the dim light. The speed is suspiciously slow, as if time has been deliberately slowed down.

The cold wind blew up, and all the yellow tents flew horizontally. But this made me feel a lot more comfortable, and I no longer have to suppress the feeling of wanting to breathe hard. Walk from Zhengyang Gate to the inner palace and pass Sitianjian in the outer palace city. The snow finally became thinner. From the screen window, I looked at the highest Butiantai in the Sitianjian. The sky was reddened by the lights all over the city, not to mention the snow, and there were no stars and moons, so no one would be on it. But I saw a man with disheveled hair and a slender figure sitting on the stage looking down at the imperial city.On such a snowy night, like a ghost.

Unexpectedly, I thought of the palm of last year, and the temperature is still there, clearly making my hair stand on end. The car has been moving forward, the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on my ears, and the sound of crushing ice is vivid. The sound of the sheng pipes in the palace came over, and the throat was faint. "Bofang." I called out unconsciously. Bofang raised the curtain in front, waiting for my order. I hesitated for a while, and said, "I'm going up to the rooftop to see the lights in the city, you let the car drive back first." Bofang hurriedly took out his umbrella to hold it up for me.

I took it and said: "You don't have to wait here, go and report to the queen mother for me." It really is her. Wear the same clothes as last time, with narrow sleeves and narrow trousers.There are piles of snow on her shoulders and head, sitting on the edge of the terrace, with her feet hanging down, looking at the lights in the distance, the sky is red and bright. I thought it was dangerous to sit on such a high platform like this, but I also tried to sweep a place beside her and sat down. She turned her head and saw me at this time, and asked me in surprise: "Hey, why is it so late? I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Without any explanation, it seemed that she had made an appointment with me to meet at this very moment. I looked at the bright lights in the city far away and didn't want to talk.And don't hold an umbrella for her.Anyway, she is covered all over, no need. Hate her for being so nonchalant. The thin snowflakes fell silently under our feet, falling deep below, laying bright white. The wind was very small, curling her hair and winding it in the air. There is a thread touching my ear gently like a silk thread. I subconsciously moved a little to the side. But it puts my mind at ease here.No hustle and bustle, no human affairs, those messy things, things that bother me but can't do anything about them, I don't have to think about anything.Like a snowflake, it dissolves in the whiteness, and no one sees me anymore. No one bothers me anymore. She looked at me for a long time, then stood up suddenly, pulled me up again, stretched out her hands to compare our heights, and asked in surprise: "Little brother, you seem to have grown so much taller overnight, yesterday you were only near my ears, now you are the same as me I'm as tall as I am!" Her hand touched my forehead, it was icy cold. Suddenly my heart moved, thinking, I don’t know how long she has been waiting for me in this snow? Smelling the faint fragrance of green orchids, my heart softened, and I whispered: "You have been gone for almost a year, of course I have grown taller." "...Huh? One year?" She gasped, and asked again: "Has it been a year?" I said angrily, "The last time you came was on February 20th, the first year of Qianxing, and now it is the fifteenth day of the first month in the first year of Tiansheng." She yelled, "One year? It's been a year since I left? Really!" Who lied to you? I glanced at her, and she grabbed me: "Sister, I'm sorry, did you wait for me for a long time last time?" I subconsciously said, "...No. I'll see if there's no one there, and I'll leave." "Fortunately, fortunately, then don't be angry with my sister. Besides, it's not my sister's fault... I don't know that our time is not parallel, that is to say..." She rolled her eyes slyly, and suddenly changed In a coaxing tone, he asked, "Have you never heard that one day in the sky is one year on the earth?" "Are you a fairy in the sky?" I didn't believe her. "Hehe, it's okay if you want to think so." She smiled brightly, "Isn't sister pretty?" It's about the same as the average court lady. But I didn't say it to hurt her. I know she's lying to me, but I don't know which of her words is true and which is not. I'm afraid it's all false about the fairy and the year in the sky. But I carefully looked at her expression through the scattered snowflakes, trying to see if there was any uneasiness and cover-up on it, but I found no. She lied to me with confidence.So I had to be deceived willingly. "Aren't you a fairy from the sky? Why don't you go out by yourself and brave the heavy snow here?" "Hey, there are things that fairies can't do, and I don't know how to choose the landing place, what can I do?" She hugged my arm and begged: "Little brother, please, I want to go out!" Although I haven't forgotten the sadness of last year, but in such a cold snowy day, why should I let the coldness I had during the Waking of Insects last year repeat on her body? If she really can't get out, I will take her out, and then I will have nothing to do with her. She didn't feel sorry for me in any way, it was just a casual sentence, and I was serious about it. "Let's go." He came down with an umbrella for her. Think about it, take off your fox fur and give it to her. "I'm not cold anymore." She shook her head. His hands were as cold as ice, and he also said that he was not cold.This woman must be a liar. "You wear such strange clothes, how can I take you out? Wrap yourself up so that no one can see you." I said angrily. "Yes, yes. Please follow the emperor's order." She smiled and put it on, not solemn at all. I wanted to say something to her, but her smiling face made me feel relaxed, so I just let her go. Go out through the most remote door, where the imperial city officials are so humble that they can't even touch the queen's feet. After I go out, when they report to the queen, I have already sat back in my palace to warm up up. Even so, someone stopped us on our way out.Although only the two little servants knew about it, I was stunned for a long time, and then I mustered up the courage to say: "I want to go out for a while..." But they were obviously more nervous than me, and they bowed down, not daring to let me out, but they also didn't dare to stop me. She frowned at the side, grabbed my hand, dragged me and ran out. In a panic, I stepped on the one on the left, and he knelt on the ground and turned to look at us. "Don't get up!" I yelled, pointing at them. She laughed, her voice ringing like a bell in the night air.We ran to merge into the flow of people on Shangyuanyu Street in front, "Don't worry, they can't find us..." Indeed, I am afraid that the whole Bianliang will be overturned before they can find us. "If I don't tell them to kneel there and not move, they will be in trouble if they are investigated later." I checked my clothes first. Fortunately, although the clothes inside were bright yellow, there were no dragons embroidered on them. "You have a good heart, little brother." She smiled and took my hand: "Don't look at the clothes, who would recognize you with so many people? We are exactly the same as ordinary siblings." "There are no siblings like this! Only..." I blurted out halfway, and then felt embarrassed, and my face burned. She looked around, let go of my hand, and said, "Okay, let's go shopping in the capital city of Song Dynasty." Going south along Royal Street, "This street is so wide, how wide is it?" she asked. "It's about two hundred steps away. The center is the imperial road, and people from all walks of life are not allowed to go there. On both sides are the imperial market, where merchants can do business." We watched lanterns among the bustling crowd, watched Baixi on the roadside, pole climbing, jumping rope, sumo wrestling, drum board, small singing, chorus, Qiao Jingu, Jiaoguo, etc. She was very interested in seeing each of them , as if never seen before.We walked through Jingling Palace, Dasheng Mansion, and Taichang Temple among the crowd, and turned towards Zhouqiao. There were a lot of people in front of them guessing riddles, so she hurriedly pulled me up to watch. The riddle written on the lantern is---- Zhuo Wenjun ran to Xiangru at night. Type a sentence from the Book of Songs.from passing. "Ye Ben, we really are running at night." She laughed, "Running wildly in the snowy night." There were quite a few people who guessed, but no one guessed it right. Someone actually guessed "there is a fox". I laughed secretly, but at a glance, she felt like a fox, cunning, and dragged me out of Miyagi in the dark. The colorful objects are jade plum, noctuid, bee and snow willow.She seemed to like it, looked at it again and again, and then said: "Moer Xueliu golden strands, these are the ones to wear on the Lantern Festival..." After reading the riddle for a long time, she shook her head and said, "I don't understand, let's go." I whispered: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so sweet." "Did you see the beauty?" she asked. "...the answer is yes." I said. She finally picked a branch of Jinxueliu, but she didn't even have a bun on her head. I held her hair for a long time, not knowing where to start. She stood in front of the lantern and looked at me. The lamp was too close to her, and the firelight made her face red, and the amber-like transparent bright red was carved into her cheeks.Her ears are thin, near the fire, like onyx, and she can see the flow of blood underneath. I touched her slender hair with my fingertips for a long time, and finally inserted Xueliu into her ear. Shangyuan (2) Someone in front was busy climbing a tree. "What are they going to do?" she asked me. "It seems to be setting off fireworks." "What about setting off fireworks and climbing trees?" she asked. "This way the fireworks can be sprayed high." "So you set off fireworks like this!" She seemed to suddenly realize, "It must be very beautiful!" We stood by the ditch and watched those people tie the fireworks to the tall trees, and then lit the fuse. All the branches of the whole tree were as thin as hair under the light of the fireworks, like spring coming in an instant. The tree flowers bloomed with all their petals and stretched out thousands of cores. The silver, golden and purple sparks were scattered and intertwined in the air, and the pearly and broken jade filled the sky. "Wow, although your fireworks can't be placed in the sky, they are so beautiful!" She exclaimed beside her. I turned my head to look at her, under the reflection of the light, her face was sometimes covered with light red, sometimes with light green, sometimes with thin yellow, and sometimes with shimmering purple, like an ever-changing scene. The sun is as clear as ever. The tip of the heart suddenly contracted, some warm blood fluctuated from the chest to the whole body like a twitch, and the blood vessels suddenly expanded layer by layer, until the fingertips were painful. I want to know what her name is, how old she is, where she comes from. But I don't know anything, it's like watching the stars in the sky change, I am far below, and I have no way to reach out. At this time, she turned her head and smiled at me, pouted and said: "But your technical level is too poor! I will show you a beautiful one next time. Our fireworks can be sprayed into the sky!" "Will it violate the rules of heaven?" I asked intentionally. She raised her hand to touch my hair hehe, "Little brother, you are so cute." "...cute?" No one has ever said that to me, nor have I ever heard it in my life. "That's right, it's like a newborn...tiger." She thought about her words and said with a smile. I guess she actually meant to say that I look like a newborn puppy. Luckily she didn't say it. We walked through the whole street amidst the crowds, and when she saw the signboard of a small shed next to the roadside, which said quail bone 饳儿, Yuanzi, Pai, white sausage, crystal carp, Ketou fine powder, and stir-fried chestnuts, she immediately pulled it out. I sat down and called, "Boss, two bowls of Yuanzi." While I was sitting there waiting for the glutinous rice balls, when I looked up, I saw Jiang Zun, Minister of the Imperial Palace, and Ren Zhongzheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, entering Fanlou together. Doesn't make sense?The emperor was waiting for a bowl of Yuanzi in the cold wind at the roadside stall, and the minister was greeted up to the fan tower full of complacency. The dumplings don't even have fillings, just sprinkle a little sweet-scented osmanthus, and nothing else.But because she was tasting it seriously, I also felt that the dumplings were soft and smooth, and I ate them together with her. "Tokyo is the most prosperous city in the world right now. It's such a good city..." She looked at the cars and BMWs in the endless stream of people and sighed. "It's great to live here, without pollution or dust." I glanced at this magnificent capital: "Don't you know? This Tokyo is prosperous and full of crowns, but it is actually the most dangerous." She looked at me incredulously, "Dangerous?" "The convergence of traffic in the south of the Yangtze River is one of the reasons why the capital was established in the first place, but you think, if you encounter a siege and the over-reliance on water transportation is cut off, how will the millions of people in Tokyo survive?" She asked with a smile: "Do you want to move the capital? ?” "Emperor Taizu proposed to move the capital a long time ago, but was overruled by Taizong's saying that 'the foundation of a country lies in virtue, and there is no danger'. Kaifeng has no danger to defend, and once a foreigner invades, they will drive straight in." She bit her lower lip, tilted her head to look at me for a long time, then slowly reached out to touch the center of my brow, and said, "You are only a thirteen-year-old child, why do you need to think so much?" "Fourteen." Said loudly. Her fingertips were cold and cold, imprinted on my brow. Between the eyebrows is the place that connects the heart vessels.So, her fingers seemed to be pressing on my heart all the time.Takes my breath away. She suddenly asked again: "Then... do you have money?" I didn't know what she was talking about for a moment, and I was stunned. "Look at the words on the back." I looked back at the words on the cloth banner and was startled. This is simply more at stake than Tokyo. On the cloth banner is written: Yuanzi Yiwen. Then we just want two pennies. "Are you rich?" I asked her back. "Have you ever seen fairies flying in the sky with money on them? They are throwing flowers, not money." She raised her chin and looked at me, "Does the emperor have any money?" "Have you ever seen the emperor pay in the palace?" I raised my chin and looked at her. So, we both looked at each other. "Is there any jade pendant to pay the bill?" I looked at my body and said helplessly: "Of course there are, but if the things on my body are missing, the servants around me will be beheaded. The boss took the things of Ouchi, which is also a death penalty." "Damn it...it's fine for the fairy to have no money, but the emperor is so poor..." She rolled her eyes and suggested, "Why don't we just walk?" "The boss is looking at the delay." I rolled my eyes, and then thought that the emperor should not do this, but it was too late, so I simply looked again. "Now I suddenly thought of a sentence to describe what happened to the two of us." She raised her head and sighed, "It's really a poor and lowly couple who suffers from everything!" We looked at each other and smiled, and then suddenly thought, husband and wife don't seem to be suitable for us? Both of them turned their heads away in embarrassment. At this time, she gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "Forget it, fight!" She took my hand and stood up, and said loudly, "Boss, I put the money here for you." She took out two coins and slapped them on the table. , and then immediately dragged me away.I thought she was walking like flying, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" "Shh, run!" We ran wildly again, and the boss behind us yelled: "Girl! What kind of money do you have? We don't accept money from foreigners!" I heard her suppressed laughter, hehe, it seemed like a smirk. I feel more and more that she looks like a fox. A cunning yet charming fox. In the crowd, she held my hand tightly.I also grabbed her hand. While running, her snow willow suddenly caught on a person's skirt. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to pull, and Xueliu fell to the ground, but she tore open a hole in the gauze robe outside the man, with a soft hiss. I looked up at the man and was startled. It turned out to be Zhao Congzhan.Hanlin attends reading.Why is he here? He obviously saw me too, stood there in a daze, peeked at her, and knelt down in the street in the crowd. "No, get up!" I said in a low voice. But everyone around us is already watching us. I was so nervous I didn't know what to do. At this time, Zhao Congzhan bent down to pick up the snow willow, and said, "Girl, you dropped something." The people next to him thought he was picking flowers for her and ignored him.They all continued to do their own things. She took the flowers with a smile and said, "Thank you." The boss at the back was still chasing us, Zhao Congzhan was slightly surprised to see us out of breath, and then looked back at the boss. I immediately reached out and grabbed her, and ran towards Miyagi, leaving Zhao Congzhan and the boss in the crowd. I would never have thought at the time what role Zhao Congzhan would play in our destiny. This is their first meeting, but I facilitated it by myself. Just like fate comes, there is no way to avoid it. Only when we fled to the gate of the palace did we stop fearlessly, looking at each other and laughing. "I'm leaving, little brother." She and I leaned against the city wall, gasping for breath. Going again?I am stunned. I thought that this New Year's Eve would have no end. "Goodbye, little brother." She smiled, "I'll come back tomorrow." "You are here...can you go back?" "No problem, I'll go home right away. Then...you go back quickly!" She pointed to the palace gate and smiled. "Tomorrow?" I asked. "Tomorrow," she said firmly. Another year, I'm afraid. When I went back, I saw Bofang kneeling in front of Yanqing Hall. "What's going on?" I quickly pulled him up. "The empress dowager's chariot has just left," he said. My heart was beating wildly immediately, "The queen mother... did you say anything?" He whispered: "No, the Empress Dowager drank a cup of tea later and said that the Helin Fenglu in Yanqing Palace is really good, but how can the Emperor drink such tea?" Isn't this tea made by the internal bureau?What's the matter with them? I went inside to look, and the courtyard was full of maids kneeling on the ground. Only the sound of a leaking pot was heard. It turned out to be four more.Snow fell sporadically again. The next day, instead of going to the court, I listened to Lu Zhao, a senior scholar, talk about Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in the Duanming Hall.Next to it is Hanlin Shidu.There are two kinds of imperial servants, some are courtiers or even Taicheng concurrently, who instructed me to study, and there are Zhao Congzhan, who is a descendant of the clan, the grandson of Emperor Taizu's second son Yanyi Wang Dezhao, and he is my nephew. When my father gave birth to me, he was already forty-three, so Zhao Congzhan was older than me, and he should be twenty-one this year. Yan Yi and Wang Dezhao left the cabinet in the second year of Qiande.Originally, the prince was going to be crowned king when he came out of the cabinet, but because of his young age, Emperor Taizu only granted the defense of Guizhou.Until the death of Taizu, he was never named a king.His older brother died early, and he was supposed to be the crown prince, but Emperor Taizu passed the throne to his younger brother, Emperor Taizong. Later, because of the military incident, he committed suicide after being reprimanded by Emperor Taizong.Has five sons.Among them, Zhao Congzhan is the grandson. No one can figure out the matter between Taizu and Taizong. The throne of Taizu is not passed on to his grown-up sons, but to his younger brothers with high meritorious deeds. And within five years of his younger brother's ascension to the throne, all of Taizu's sons died. Sometimes I wonder, maybe if everything is normal, in fact, Zhao Congzhan and I have to change positions? But this is rebellion, and I dare not think too much about it. Fortunately, Zhao Congzhan is a cautious person, and he has always been respectful in front of me. When talking about Xuanzong's killing of pipa artists, someone came to play: "The governor of Kaifeng has a rare treasure to offer." I was feeling drowsy when I heard it, but at this moment my spirits lifted and I said immediately: "Why don't you take a look at He Yibao?" Those people put down the books helplessly. Bofang brought in a tray of vermilion lacquer and gold. I saw two coins lying on it, bright as silver, without square holes.When you hold it in your hand, it's not like gold, silver, copper, or iron. There are peony flowers on it, and the characters of an unknown country are written on the side.Turn to the back and see the twisted tadpole text.There is a strange circular pattern in the middle.Suddenly, I knew where this was coming from.chuckle. The governor of Kaifeng is still reporting: "Yesterday on the eve of the Yuan Dynasty, a god descended from the sky. This is left by the god. It is said that the taste of the dumplings in Li's shop is amazing..." I really wanted to tell him that the dumpling was really bad, but I had no choice but to hold back. Zhao Congzhan asked from the side: "Can I take a look at it?" I handed it to him. He looked at it, and said: "It's really exquisite, and it's beyond what I can make." This Zhao Congzhan really has no sense of humor.I wonder. But those old masters found the topic, and began to identify which family's coins it was, and they were very happy. I was also happy to be in a daze there. I thought again, will she come tonight? Could it be another year? Shangyuan (3) I have been thinking about the tomorrow she said all day, is it really tomorrow, or next year? However, it is still necessary to go. In the evening, just when it was getting dark, the queen mother's phoenix chariot arrived.In fact, there is nothing wrong, I just want to come and have a cup of tea with me. Twilight knelt there and carefully sent the peeled pine branches into the small red clay tea stove, and gently sent the fire with a sunflower fan the size of a palm.The dark fragrance of tea spreads out like a cloud. "Guo Qingyi has been in the palace for more than three months, how will the emperor arrange her?" The queen mother asked softly, as soft as the smell of tea. But I feel like I have a knife in my body. dare not speak. So the queen mother didn't say anything anymore. At the tip of the moon, the white snow reflected a bright mirror-like light. The queen mother got up and got on the big safety chariot, on the chariot she straightened her sleeves and said flatly: "Today's tea is very good, Bo Fang, you will all serve the emperor like this in the future." All the people knelt down and replied respectfully: "Yes." After seeing off my mother, Bofang wanted to go out, but Bofang knelt down at the door, didn't pull me, didn't speak, just kowtowed. Bofang is much taller than me, five years older than me, and he ran after me in short steps when I was four years old.Last year's Jingzhe, if it wasn't for him, I'm afraid I would have been frozen in the Sitianjian. After being silent for a long time, he finally said, "Then let's rest." When everyone was quiet, he quietly got up, went to the most slender plum tree beside Yanqing Hall, and looked up at the tall tree and the tall wall. I don't know why, but I'm not a little nervous, but a little excited. When I was very young, I hid on the terrace for the first time and waited for the sunrise, watching the sky gradually turn into bright blue.It seems that apart from what I was looking forward to, everything else in the world no longer exists. Outside is a plum tree, with a dozen pale flowers indistinctly blooming under the moonlight. Stepping on the branch, a few plum petals fell off.I looked around nervously, and there was a thin sound of wind. The sixteenth moon, and the reflection of the snow, interweave into a snow-colored sky. All the great halls are far away.Like walking forward in a trance dream, obviously without any confidence, but without any doubts or fears. Out of the inner palace city, in the snow of the vast and empty outer palace city, I ran under the moon, heard the rustling of my clothes, and also heard my heartbeat, very clearly. But she wasn't at Sitianjian, she was waiting for me under the pine tree at the door, and waved to me: "Little brother, I'm here!" I stopped suddenly, but I didn't prevent myself from falling to the ground. She rushed over, knelt down in front of me, and held out her hand to me: "Are you okay?" I lay on the ground and looked up at her. She tilted her head slightly to look at me and smiled. Under the moonlight and snow light, her complexion was crystal clear, as white as jade. She is wearing a skirt today, long and ankle-length.Finally, it looks a bit like ordinary clothes, it looks like pearl gray purple under the moonlight, the shadow of the pine tree seems to be painted on her clothes, her hands, her neck, and her cheeks, layer by layer. Swaying in layers. "What's wrong? Does it hurt?" She asked worriedly. I lowered my head, not daring to look her in the face, and smiled timidly: "No...this dress is very unique." I used an excuse to touch the fine frills at the hem of her skirt. "Lace, isn't it beautiful?" She flipped the page to me without any hesitation. I want to tell her that she is really as beautiful as a fairy.But the words came to his lips and swallowed again. Feel embarrassed.His face became hot again. But she didn't pay attention to me, and just said: "Last time I told you that I would bring you fireworks, our fireworks, I'll show you." She took out a large paper package from the bag on her back and asked, "Can we put it here?" "No, it's bad to be seen by the empress! Let's go out." I said hastily. Go to Yiyuan Hall to see, there are still people on duty there. It's Zhao Congzhan.When he saw us, he froze immediately. "You saw it last time too... Now we're going out for a while." It was he who didn't even need to explain. "It's almost three o'clock at night..." He stammered and tried to stop it. "Zhao Congzhan." I frowned and shouted angrily. He didn't dare to refuse, and whispered: "...Yes." Although he is a son of the clan, he does not have a license to drive in Miyagi, so we follow him out. I thought I was going to be severely interrogated, but I didn't expect there was nothing, so I let it go after looking at it, probably because nothing happened before, so the guards were very relaxed. On Yujie, she turned to Zhao Congzhan and said, "You helped me pick up snow willows yesterday... Thank you." She looked at him and smiled. I felt unhappy and urged her to leave. She took a few steps and looked back.I saw Zhao Congzhan going back to his house, so I said, "He's gone home." She nodded. "What's wrong? Is he weird?" I asked. "No...he's so beautiful, very similar to one of our celebrities." She laughed. I don't know what a star is, and asked: "Is it similar to your acquaintance?" She laughed and said: "Little brother, you don't understand." After thinking about it, she asked: "Then, he is not bad?" "It is said that he is a gifted scholar. He could write poems when he was seven years old, and the Taifu often taught me this." I tried my best to recall, but I really didn't have a deep impression. "He is probably a very...cautious person. The first time in the imperial garden, the queen mother's fan fell on the ground, and he accidentally stepped on it. As a result, he knelt there and didn't dare to raise his head. Later, he actually wrote a large letter of apology and submitted it. Are you timid?" I am now I still want to laugh when I think about it. "He is the grandson of Emperor Taizu, so..." She probably also knew the joint between his line and my line, and knew that Zhao Congzhan was the most difficult person in the court, so she actually had a faint feeling for him in her tone. pity. "Shall we set off fireworks?" I didn't want to talk about Zhao Congzhan with her anymore, so I held up her fireworks and asked. Her fireworks are indeed very beautiful. A little light pill rushes into the night sky, bursts, and thousands of lights burst out, intertwining in the sky to form a large piece of bright May flowers, but the petals have sharp thorns, which are densely pierced diagonally. Zhang Guangwang, and at each intersection, the light scattered like chrysanthemum petals explodes in all directions, fading away in the moonlight like a magpie's tail. We stood by the ditch and looked up, everyone next to us was amazed. I was by her side, it was obviously January weather, but it was like watching the flowers bloom all over the mountains and plains in late spring and early summer.Like winter receding in an instant. Someone next to him was carrying a tall cloth banner, staring with his mouth wide open. Embers from fireworks rained down in the sky.She suddenly let out a low cry, and rushed forward to hold me in her arms. I opened my eyes wide and looked behind her. The fire cloth streamers were all on her back, and the fire made her hair red, as if it disappeared in the middle.I desperately hugged her back and patted her on fire. Her hollow and fine lace had all been turned black by the flames, and a piece of her hair was also burned. I was so scared that I couldn't speak, and my throat was choked, but she stuck out her tongue to pat her hair, and took my hand under the surprised eyes of the people around: "Come on, you're attracting attention! It's disgusting , I bought fake and shoddy goods, and the fireworks are not cold or warm." We squeezed through the crowd, and I couldn't help reaching out to hold her hair, those burnt ends, long and short. "It's okay, I've wanted to cut my hair short for a long time." She pulled her hair and smiled at me. How can she still smile at me casually with her hair like this? What is she going to do?I was in tears. She stretched out her hand to wipe my tears in surprise, and said, "It's okay, we all like short hair, I'll cut it for you to see, it's very beautiful!" "Why... do you want to block it for me? "I asked her in a low voice. "Because you are a little brother, of course my sister must protect you." She rubbed my hair casually, also very casually. I looked down at the moon in the ditch, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it was very bright. Well, it's not because of anything else. Not because I am the emperor, not because there are other plans. She is for me. At that time, I wanted to say something to her, but because of my shyness, I couldn't say it. I want to talk about my current wish, I hope to spend my whole life watching the stars in Sitianjian, and I also like you to be with me... I like the smell of you, the scent of white orchids, safe and warm. But how do I know what fate has arranged for me? When I went back that night, the sky was almost light. Back at the Yanqing Palace, he immediately got into bed, closed his eyes and tried to pretend to sleep a little, but unexpectedly fell asleep because he was too tired. When I woke up, I heard birds chirping outside, probably the sparrows that spent the winter here. I don't know what time it is? I sat up halfway and leaned over the window to watch. The weather was gloomy and I couldn't see anything.Fenglu is cold. The willow branches are a little green.It seems that spring has really come. I unconsciously put my fingers on the window screen, and slowly traced her eyebrows and eyes. The corners of her eyebrows and eyes are slightly raised, just like her curved lips when she looks at me and smiles. Like a fox. In such weather, early in the morning, I feel very happy. There seems to be a small commotion outside, and I think the person who will disturb the Yanqing Palace must be the Queen Mother. 所以我躺下继续睡，当作自己没有醒来。 果然是母后。 她到我床前看了下，伯方忙说：“奴才这就叫醒皇上。” “不用了。”她轻声止住他，说：“那就让他再睡会吧。” 我偷偷把眼开一点缝看她。 她俯下身，把我的靴子拿起来，交给伯方，低声说：“出去把上面的雪拍一拍。”回头看我。 我的睫毛一定在颤动，因为她皱了下眉头，然后才轻轻地走出去。 起床后，忐忑地到崇徽殿去向母后请安，她却好象今早没有看见过那双满沾雪泥的靴子，温声问了我功课的事，直到最后我告辞的时候，她才漫不经心地提了一句，“皇上可知道宫门口的守卫换了？” 我低头，不敢说话。 “这宫里最近乱了点。伯方，回去可要小心着皇上，出一点纰漏可就是你的事了。”母后说话时，没有看我。 我出崇徽殿来，站在阴沉沉的天气里，怔怔半天，才发现手脚都冻僵，回到延庆殿伯方忙给我捧暖炉，仔细地用织紫错金的小锦褥包了，给我暖手。 那天下午我头痛。太医说受了风寒。 母后让人看着我在床上躺足十天。 等我痊愈出去的时候，杨柳已经一片鹅黄了。这春天来得真是快极了，让我措手不及。 我后来再去步天台，却再没有看见她。 直到春天过去，夏天到来。
