Li Huang

The winter of this year came very early. It was only November, and the wind was cold and the shutters were falling.

The wind always "whistled" in. Every now and then, besides tightening my worn-out clothes and curling up in the corner, I don't know how to resist the cold and muscular chill.

Lenggong is very humid, especially after the snow. Although there are a few cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, the room is leaking because of the sun not coming for many days. At this time, everything is wet and put aside. I can only wear the same summer clothes that I had when I first entered the cold palace, and casually put the same damp straw on my body.

I always thought, if it was a cold spring day, maybe the thin summer clothes I wore today would not be able to resist the ravages of winter wind at all. Many times, I thought I would die in the cold night, because it was so cold that when I closed my eyes, I always felt that a deeper black vortex swallowed me.

In fact, I really hope that I can fall in and never get out again. In this way, I may be able to see my father’s loving smiling face; perhaps, I will live in a warm place like spring and lead a quiet and worry-free life. I am affected by the cold; or, if I am still in that quiet Huangjia Village, Xihe will come back from the school after a while, I will serve dinner, and then play piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy with him...

However, I think I should fall into the **** of Abi, because I have committed the most intolerable sin in this world.

Where is Xihe? Shen Xiyao sent him to guard the imperial tomb. In such weather, would he feel cold and lonely? I clearly remember that he just wore a bun on that day, it would be even more difficult in such a day.

The imperial mausoleum, when facing the royal ancestors, will Xi He regret his actions?

In fact, in such days, cold is the second place. The pain that felt like countless small steel needles piercing into the skin at first became a habit in the repetition of the day, and it gradually became forgettable.

I just can't stand the silence here. It was so quiet, as if there was no life in the world, occasionally I would see a few crows in the sky flying by with the shadow of the setting sun "Yeah".

Although this is a fascination, it is a cold palace, but here I am is a small courtyard independent of the others. This is my choice. The only time I was standing at the door of Fanshi, where the women who were leaning on the corner or were crazy or demented made my heart palpitations. So I chose this place, three or four times into the yard from the place where the women concentrated.

Occasionally, a very small scream is introduced into my ears in the middle of the night. Although it is small, the sharp scream that cuts through the night is the most beautiful sound in the world. It let me know that this is the real mortal world, and there is life.

I always want to hold on to that sound tightly, but it always goes away in a flash. I had to open my empty eyes and watch the dark night. There is a big hole in the roof. If it doesn’t rain, I can always see the faint starlight. I always think, is it just because this is a place forgotten by the royal family and concubines, God won’t take care of it. Is there even less starlight than anywhere else. But I thought again, he is the son of emperor, so God will naturally care for him more.

There is nothing around the yard I am in. Everyday food is placed at the gate of the yard on time, but I have never seen a food delivery person. I always sit in a daze by the dilapidated pillars, watching the sky at different moments of the day, watching the shadow of the sun lightly sweeping over every corner of the courtyard, in this quiet and desolate place, where there is no In the silence that people can talk to, spend a day in silence.

In such an environment, people can only kill time by burning memories of the past.

Recalling that day, after Shen Xiyao said "today" to Gongzi Liu, he smiled gently at me in the surprised eyes of his husband and wife: "Vir, let's go."

I almost couldn't help shivering, and gave Zhang a hurried look. She only lowered her head, as if she didn't see it, but tapped the table twice with her hand. I knew that she wanted me to rest assured. Up.

Turning to Liu Gongzi's surprised eyes, he blurted out: "Big Brother Xie, didn't you say you would go to the mountains together today?"

Shen Xiyao's smile was like a warm sun, and he nodded: "I thought about it for a long time last night, and felt that I had to start today." Then he looked at me: "Weir misses my brother's heart anxiously even if he wants to come. It's better to get him together soon."

"But, I heard Niang Xie said that the carriage agreed on tomorrow." Young Master Liu glanced around at the large and small packages already packed at home, slightly puzzled.

"Yes, these things are also worth some money. If you bring them back, it will cost less. What's more, the carriage fees have been paid." As a regular wife, Zhang naturally knows how to manage the family diligently. Shen Xiyao said it was a pity that these were not needed.

Gongzi Liu was silent for a moment. I don't know if he is fully aware of Shen Xiyao's identity, but at least he knows that Shen Xiyao must be a royal noble, with a transcendent status.

Zhang pulled me and pointed to a bundle of bundled utensils and said, "Xie Niang, aren't these all the favorites you and Brother Xie finally collected? I remember they were expensive. Don't bring them. What a pity to go. At least there are still good memories here."

She thought about it and said kindly: "You go back and start again. There are many places to spend money, and you are not rich. You can bring more." She said to Gongzi Liu: "Today we will help them organize Well, I think those quilts should be brought along. It’s a lot of money to make a bed now. What's more, it’s the quilt that Xie Niang embroidered herself."

Shen Xiyao laughed and looked at Zhang Clan and said, "He and he concealed his family background for some reason, so there is no need to hide it. Our family is rich in the world, these things," Shen Xiyao almost looked at those with contemptuous eyes. Thing: "The objects here, none of them, are worthy of being in front of the lowest servants of my family. If they are taken, where will my face be put?"

Zhang was taken aback by what he said, and looked at me eagerly. I had no choice but to wink at her: "Sister, my eldest brother said he would not bring it, so don't take it to your heart."

Zhang looked at my eyes, and Young Master Liu pulled her next to him, and smiled at Shen Xiyao with a fist: "Then Mr. Xie, my husband and I will not bother you. Taking advantage of this morning light, it is suitable to go hiking in the mountains. Goodbye. I wish you all the best, and there will be some time later."

Shen Xiyao's face showed the arrogance and dignity of a high-ranking person, and he nodded gently: "This time, thank you and your husband for helping me." He paused, "You are also a talented person, I promise you A beautiful future."

When Liu Gongzi heard this, he almost bowed to the ground, and Shen Xiyao waved his hand: "You should go as soon as possible."

Gongzi Liu gave a deep tick and pulled Zhang out.

I looked at the room that came down suddenly, and then with nostalgia, I looked at the top light blue package. It was indeed as Zhang said, it was the love that Xihe and I collected carefully, although it is not a value. Liancheng, but full of sweet memories.

However, I couldn't let Shen Xiyao see my thoughts and hurriedly retracted his gaze, only to see that he had walked to the door and turned around, his handsome face was in the morning light, and I could not see the expression on his face.

"Let's go." He didn't reach out his hand, and his voice became cold.

I gritted my teeth, this day has finally come!

The horse that Shen Xi rode when he came here has been tied under an elm tree behind the yard. At this time, seeing the owner, the horse snorted joyfully and kicked a few steps on the spot.

Shen Xiyao stroked its black and shiny fur, seemingly hesitating. Finally, I saw his face changed from struggling to hesitant, then firm, and finally frosty, and I knew that he had already figured out where I should go.

"Let's go." He turned on his horse and handed it to me.

I hesitated, and finally put my hand in his hand, only feeling that the palm was firm, but the palm of the hand was cold.

"Drive!" He clipped a horse's belly, and I could only hear the sound of the wind whistling in my ears, and buried my head in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, but I became nervous.

What is waiting for me before?

Shenju is really extraordinary. After a day of running without water, when the sun is slanting, the capital is already in sight.

At this time, the lights of Wanjia first came on, and only felt that there was a sea of ​​stars at the end of his sight, and the little orange-red light revealed reassuring warmth. I couldn't help thinking, if I was a traveller who had been traveling home for a year at this time, I would be deeply moved when I saw this scene, and I just wanted to go home and reunite with my loved ones. And even the simplest hut, as long as there is a light that lights up for me, it will illuminate my future life.

However, I am not a tired bird, and what is waiting for me will not be a warm light.

Shen Xiyao stopped the horse, her eyes dark and unclear. The light reflected in his eyes, and it became dim. I looked at him and said softly: "My lord, tonight, I'm afraid I can't go back."

It was already the time for the city gate to release the key, and I believe that Shen Xiyao would not reveal his identity.

Shen Xiyao looked around and said without hesitation: "This is very close to the Qinglong Temple, so let's take the night there."

Qinglong Temple! I was startled, and distant memories slowly came to mind.

It was still before entering the palace, about a year before entering the palace. Because Qinglong Temple was the best place to view cherry blossoms, I went to Qinglong Temple with Haoyue for the "Sakura" that year. It was also that night, I met him.

That should be the first time I met Xi He. Although there was only a vague figure, although, in the subsequent encounter, I never saw his appearance clearly. But at this time I am almost certain that the person behind the bamboo forest, the person who left the jade pendant for me, and the person who saved my life, is Xi He.

I confirmed that it was Xihe because, on the royal banquet on New Year's Eve, in the imperial garden, I heard the sound of flute, which was the same as that heard behind the bamboo forest. Then I saw his back and heard his voice. That outfit, when I recalled later when entering the palace, it was indeed Xihe. The woman who looked for him was the eldest princess, not his wife as I thought.

Although, I have never mentioned such a past before him. In the past, it was impossible because of the identity gap. Later, it was not necessary. We were already in love with each other, and those of the past were not mentioned. What's more, I always think that the past is not worth remembering for him, even he doesn't even know that person is me.

As for me, it is a beautiful dream of me in my boudoir, and it is also mine, a good memory of me and him.

Thinking of this, my lips must have a honey-like smile. Because when Shen Xiyao's eyes fell on my face, it immediately became difficult to look.

I hurriedly withdrew the emotions that appeared on my face, lowered my head, grateful to Shen Xiyao for making such an arrangement, at least, before entering the palace, I could set foot on the old place again and remember that time.

There is no change in the Qinglong Temple, the cherry trees are still prosperous, but the flowering period has passed.
