Twilight collected
Chapter 18
The jade tube is cool at the beginning, and the night of the golden pot is gradually fading away.
I haven't seen the green gauze insects moving, and the cicadas are making noise in the deep forest.The autumn cold gradually rises, only the flowers turn red at night, the grass is cold and green, the Cangshan Mountains are covered with fog, and the Big Dipper is dry.
Zichen was approaching, and Hanxuan was tired of coping. On this day, he was busy until the moon was in the middle of the sky, so the palace servants carried the lanterns and walked slowly to Qionghanmen.
When Fang went out of the palace gate, he saw Suian sitting on a horse.In the darkness of night, his armed body is still and solemn, and his horse is also very dignified.The dim light slanted, looking at Sui'an's face, it was hard to hide its sharpness.
Han Xuan was already tired, so he was unable to blame him, so he just asked shallowly: "Why is brother here?"
"After the work in the camp is over, let's take a look around. If you want to come, you should go back to your home, and I will wait for you to go with you."
"Then let's go together." Han Xuan was extremely tired, he had no intention of avoiding fear, so he had no expression on his face, and was supported by the palace servants, and got on the carving cart.Seeing this, Suian reined in his horse and walked a few steps forward, dragging the ruts, and went all the way down the mountain.
Hanxuan lightly picked up the curtain of the car, looked across his eyes, Sui'an acted as usual, without the slightest sluggishness, so he was not to blame.The moon hangs high, the stars are bright, and the cool breeze brings dew, which makes people feel relaxed.
After arriving at the mansion, when Hanxuan got off the car, Suian wanted to help Hanxuan, but Hanxuan gently avoided him, and said coldly: "After a while, the dew will turn into frost, you have worked so hard , you don’t have to come to take me back home every day.”
Sui'an didn't look annoyed, but he said with concern: "Since you know that the leaves are falling in the palm garden, why don't you go home earlier?"
"Things in the palace are complicated and trivial, and it's really hard for me to get away. You also have an important job, and you don't have to suffer so much, and you don't need to be so self-sufficient. Doing things like this will be of no benefit to you and me."
"You and my brother and sister, the world has just been settled, and the palace is unstable. It is difficult to travel at night, and you don't like to be accompanied by attendants. To prevent accidents, why not escort your sister back to the mansion for your brother?"
"What kind of brothers and sisters we are, the world doesn't know. It's not in the palace, so no one will disagree."
Seeing Hanxuan's complexion as frosty, Suian only blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "I won't go outside Qionghan's gate next time."
Han Xuan went upstairs alone without saying a word.The autumn evening is far away, the moon is in the pavilion, and in the empty courtyard, only Sui'an is lonely and independent.It's as if in the pavilion, the windows are closed tightly, and the lights are like beans.
Zong Hanxuan deliberately avoids taboos, but there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and Suian only picks him up once, so Tianque obviously has already got the news.
Entering the palace the next day, just before entering the Yaozhuo Palace, I already felt that Tianque's words had a profound meaning.Hanxuan was still at Bushan, and Tianque was sitting sideways, looking at the scroll, and casually said: "Yesterday I leaned on the railing and saw Pingchu Cang, only then did I know that Qingxia has gone, and when the leaves fall, the autumn clouds Time to fly."
Hanxuan was dressed in a water-coloured palace dress, with a crown of snow-seeking plums on his head, and was dispatching the palace servants to set out bowls, so he said in vain, "Hanshan is verdant, and the autumn water is gurgling. After all, it is autumn, and the scenery is the best. "
"'Twilight clouds are harvested to overflow the cold', you once said that you love autumn the most." Tian Que said lightly, "Is the way back home easy?"
Han Xuan's heart tightened, and he said cautiously: "There are elite soldiers guarding the palace roads, so there is no danger. It's just that the wind is tight sometimes, but the ministers don't know where they are."
"I only care about your safety, you don't need to worry about it." Tian Que was a little embarrassed, "Why don't I send you off, after dinner, I often feel tired, and it's pleasant to walk around for a while."
"Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, and as a minister, if you miss the state affairs, you will feel ashamed."
"It's not too far away, just go to Qionghan Gate." Tianque raised his eyes, looking tenderly at Hanxuan, "I just want to be with you for a while every day."
Han Xuan didn't dare to raise his head, and even less dared to look at the ocean-like eyes. It was hard to refuse, but he managed to squeeze out a slight smile.
Tianque is also showing his face: "I know you have worked hard. At three o'clock every day, you and I will meet in Buguan Pavilion. I will send you to Qionghan Gate, and you will go out of the palace again."
Han Xuan responded in a daze, and fled out of Yaozhuo Palace as if fleeing.Xijian and Zhiyu are retainers, and Hanxuan only ordered them to serve more in front of the driver.Since Tianque became the master, Xi saw that because of his meritorious service, he won more awards and established his own mansion, which is even more like Hanxuan's past.However, after the change of seizing the throne, Hanxuan was slightly suspicious when he saw Xixi.
Fortunately, in front of Hanxuan, both of them seem to be the same as before.Hanxuan sometimes blamed himself for worrying too much, so he never showed his heart.When Fang came out of the palace, he had no time to think about whether the two were loyal or not, and his heart was full of worries, most of which were in the Buguan Pavilion.
At dusk, Hanxuan intentionally came late, and Tianque was already on the corridor.
This is not a pavilion. In order to get the meaning of a cave, there is only a trail facing the cliff.The path is deep and deep, and at the end is a cliff.It is extremely dangerous, and the infinite blue sky can be seen at a glance.Standing in the Tao, you will feel the insignificance of human beings, like a mayfly in the morning.
At this time, the setting sun is like fire, the thick flames are burning out, and the rays of light are shining for thousands of miles, and the sky is full of brocades.The night in the east is gradually rising, the curtain of sparse stars, the frost and the moon are beautiful, and the faces of the two seem to be crimson.
Seeing Han Xuan approaching, Tian Que was eager to embrace him in his arms, his eyebrows and eyes were full: "'There has been infatuation in life since ancient times, and this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.' This hatred, only the king knows."
The sky tower was getting closer and closer, and the moist breath hit Hanxuan's cheeks: "Tomorrow is Qixi Festival, why don't you just let go of this long-lasting hatred in this Buguan Pavilion?"
Hanxuan was in Tianque's arms, but he felt strange.Recalling that in the Rouke Pavilion, the two of them were gentle and lingering, they just walked in the clouds and flowing water, without feeling the slightest astringency, but at this moment, they felt cold.
"Your Majesty is worried about the affairs of the state, the case is exhausting, and the night is heavy, so it is better to return early." Hanxuan was careful and sighed: "I am also tired."
Hanxuan thought of Anzhi unconsciously.Since the age of 16, I have never wanted to be happy with her and stay together for life.I always feel that in those glorious years, I only hope that the sun will bloom and the moon will set, and the wind will sing against the moon.Although the Tianque is not safe, but the mansion agreed that day, Hanxuan really loves each other.Now the days of longing and longing are within reach, but Han Xuan feels tired.
Tian Que was slightly displeased when he heard the words: "Are you in such a hurry to go back to that home?"
Han Xuan understood the reason, and said: "Brother lives in the front hall on the west road, and I live in the Xiang Pavilion at the end of the east road. I have never met the servants in the house on weekdays. Most of them are old people. You must understand."
Tian Que didn't say any more, only to see Han Xuan bowing slightly, doing all the courtesy, with a cold and silent face, and left alone.
After leaving the Buguan Pavilion and passing the Maoyuan Hall, you will see the Qionghan Gate.The frame was already ready, Hanxuan felt a little more relaxed when he saw that Suian was not seen outside the door.
The mountain roads meander, the fields are vast, and the autumn clouds are light and thin, only teaching the moon to fade away.The night is as cool as water, and the autumn gnats are sparse, only the sound of jackdaws singing late to the moon.
Walking to the twists and turns, I saw a handsome horse standing under the ginkgo tree with a small lamp.The palace lanterns are few and far between, but they are soft and warm. A fine tree, half of which is golden.The leaves are scattered like butterflies dancing, scurrying down all the way.
"'Who is pitying the rivers and lakes, the jade bones and ice muscles are not willing to wither.' What a ginkgo." Hanxuan opened the curtain of the car, quietly in the shadow of this warm light: like this small lamp, which can hide the world All things are in this universe, but this field, a ginkgo tree, a small car, and two lonely people.
"Go home." Sui'an didn't repeat anything, carrying the palace lantern, and walking in front of the car with gentle hooves, "I know you're in trouble, so from now on, I'll just wait for you here."
"The mountains are high and the autumn is cold and clear to the bone. Take care of your body."
"You saved my body, I can't bear this slight cold, and I'm no longer in front of your eyes."
Hanxuan's hidden worries arose again, but when he looked at Sui'an's back, he felt a little peace of mind.
One night passed, and it was Qixi Festival.When he got up in the morning, Hanxuan looked out of the window and saw that Sui'an came earlier than usual, so he naturally understood in his heart that the good night of Qixi Festival was the first time the two met.
Han Xuan remained calm, got up to wash up, boarded the car and entered the palace.Sui'an didn't say a word, but he didn't know that the coral crown was hidden in Hanxuan's sleeve long ago.
After entering the palace gate, Xi Jian was waiting by the gate as usual, and when he saw Hanxuan, he didn't pay much attention, but said: "Today's Qixi night banquet, the concubine Zhao is also known as an excuse for illness, so your majesty has to let Concubine Yun take charge of the matter and see your majesty's color." , seems unhappy."
"Xun'er has always been weak, Your Majesty, you should be considerate before driving." After Han Xuan finished speaking, he walked towards Gu Yuandian.
Gu Yuandian's furnishings are elegant, flashy but not extravagant, and it complements Liang Xun's temperament.But Hanxuan looked around the hall, from the golden jade pearls, carved windows and embroidered doors, he could see a trace of decadence.
"Why are you free today?" Liang Xun was putting a bottle in front of the window, his words were friendly and he never raised his head.She is dressed in the color of a concubine, with green hair loosely tied under a green plum crown.The morning light, shining on the jade face, is even more demure and elegant.
"I heard that the empress said she was sick, so I came to see it." Han Xuan sat down on his own, and also focused on the pink powder in the bottle.
But Liang Xun smiled: "It's just to bluff others, you understand it in your heart."
"Since I can see clearly, Your Majesty understands even more. Always let a bereaved concubine show her face, and a sensible person will say that Your Majesty is lenient and kind, respects the late emperor, and treats the bereaved well. However, there are villains who will say that Your Majesty has something special." Intentionally. You should also plan for His Majesty's name."
Liang Xun didn't take it seriously, and only joked: "That's why I'm sick, and let Your Majesty rest assured that I'm fine, and I'll get better soon, so I can talk about it for him and win a good name."
Hanxuan was slightly annoyed, and joked: "After all, His Majesty loves you more than you, and often accompany you to explain words and play games with each other. He must not bear heavy responsibility."
"Your Majesty often comes to Gu Yuan Palace here, but because we both have no intentions of each other, we treat each other more frankly, without any shyness. Your Majesty always treats you with 'the more timid you are closer to the country'."
Although Liang Xun was joking, Han Xuan felt sad for a moment: "I just don't know, if I'm really useless and can't help him achieve a great cause, what kind of relationship should the two of us have..."
Seeing Han Xuan like this, Liang Xun had no choice but to change the subject, and softly said with relief: "Forget it, all companions in the world are like this, you don't have to worry about it. But I am too self-willed today, and I am afraid that I will annoy our Majesty in the future , ended up guarding Lengyuan alone, unable to eat and wear." Liang Xun slowly folded a longevity guest in his hand, and became more and more playful, "Seeing that the concubine is in charge, if a person with a heart plans to slander him, he will have to It’s important to talk about my temperament, honor and favor, but also to talk about your sincerity in power and responsibility, and even more to talk about the importance of our emperor’s discipline. I’m afraid that the words of the superior and the inferior will dare to lie.”
Han Xuan also explained it himself, and said forcefully: "There are a lot of romantic affairs among the ministers nearby, and I am afraid that your majesty will not be able to join the team."
"Yes, I heard that although Wei Rang Zhuqing is frustrated in the officialdom, the love scene is flourishing."
"It's just another concubine's room. To him, it's harmless."
Liang Xun always wanted Han Xuan to seal the queen, so he said insinuatingly: "Although our emperor has a lot of mountains and rivers in his hands, he is not as good as him."
Hanxuan was at a loss for words for a moment, he stopped talking and laughing, and only said seriously: "You have lived in seclusion for several months, what are your plans? If you have made up your mind... I can plan it myself."
Liang Xun was as calm as water, gently stroking Hanxuan's slender hands: "I enjoy the flowers and willows every day. I feel leisurely and uneasy. Why should I get involved in right and wrong? If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have to bear such a false name. Wouldn't it be more comfortable?"
Seeing that Han Xuan was silent, Liang Xun turned his head and smiled slightly, looking at the mountain scenery outside the window: "Seeing that autumn has arrived, when I met Concubine Yun that day, it was said that there was a Fengxuan in the back mountain, where you can enjoy the maple trees and the mountains, the scenery is extremely beautiful." Jia, I plan to take a visit in the afternoon. I have my own fun, so you don't have to feel ashamed, let alone worry too much."
Han Xuan's face was slightly relieved, and he took off the crown of stepping on the snow and looking for plums on his head, and put it on the table: "Since it is for maple viewing, it is decorated with cheap red flowers, and the cold emerald color is not necessary. I will give you this crown."
Liang Xun accepted it with a smile, only to see Hanxuan fumbled out a coral crown from his sleeve, and sighed slightly: "It's a pity to give this coral to me. There are no mandarin ducks and birds on the coral leaves, but Lianjiang Dianping."
Seeing Hanxuan leave sadly, Yuezhi welcomes him, put a cup of tea in front of Liang Xun, looked at the emerald jewels on the table, and asked sincerely, "Ma'am, do you want to replace this crown for you?"
Liang Xun just shook his head slightly: "No need. What's his is his after all."
When Yuezhi heard the words, he just stepped back silently.
Liang Xun continued to stack the pistils in his hand, and inserted them into the bottle while admiring them.So leisurely and peaceful, it seems that time is lazy and never disturbed.
After half a day, after lunch, Liang Xun wanted to chase Fengxuan when he saw that Qiuyang was just right.
Liang Xun didn't like guards of honor, so he only took Yuezhi alone, and walked through the flowers and trees to the mountains, rocks and dense forests.Because it is late summer and early autumn, most of the mountain trees are green and lush.
After walking for a long time, I saw a small courtyard surrounded by maple trees, enveloping it.The maple leaves are not yet red, but it is still a green bush.Pushing the door and entering, you can't see the courtyard as soon as you enter. Both sides are open pavilions, only the main seat, and there are one or three small cabins, which seem to be built on the cliff. It is nothing.
Because there are corridors all around, and the foundation of the temple is high, if you want to enter the atrium, you need to go down three or two stone steps.I saw that the courtyard was paved with white pebbles. The pebbles were white and shiny, and the autumn sun slanted, giving off warmth.The maple trees outside the pavilion are lush and lush, and many branches extend into the courtyard. On the pebbles, there are slightly mottled tree shadows, and there are even fallen leaves occasionally, adding to its elegance.
Seeing this, Liang Xun couldn't help but feel refreshed. Under the autumn sun, the pebbles looked like sleeping babies one by one, which only made Liang Xun look at them peacefully.Liang Xun then told Yue: "It's cool in the mountains, so go to Gu Yuan Hall and get a cloak."
Yuezhi understood that Liang Xun wanted to be alone, so he didn't ask any more questions and left the hall.When he walked away, Liang Xun became more interested, took off his shoes and socks, and went down the temple steps barefoot, stepping on the pebbles.After a long period of sunshine, you can tiptoe on the stone and feel the warmth under your feet.Liang Xun wandered about, spun low and enjoyed himself.The sunlight was printed on his beautiful face, and his skin was as radiant as jade, and his complexion was alluring.
Suddenly he heard a noise, Liang Xun suddenly became alarmed, and saw a young man coming out from the ear room, hurriedly approached, and greeted each other with a big gift: "Your servant sees that the driver is late, I hope your mother will forgive me."
Seeing that he was disturbed by others, Liang Xun didn't hesitate at first, but he was absorbed in the scene and his mind was gentle, so he didn't want to get angry, so he said lightly: "Get up."
The boy got up and stood with his head bowed.Liang Xun glanced over leisurely, and saw that young man's skin was like snow, clear and slender, with sharp edges and corners, clear brows, and a humble attitude.
"Are you alone here?"
"Going back to your mother's words, there is no one in Chasing Fengxuan all year round. The adults said that there is no need for multiple people to manage it, so only the villain is left to manage it."
Liang Xun nodded slightly, stopped looking at the young man, and went back to bathing in the shadow of the sun.The young man knelt on the pavilion, folded his hands in front of his chest, and treated each other respectfully without saying a word.
After enjoying for a long time, the shadow of the sun gradually slanted, and Liang Xun wanted to go back to the palace.But when he got up the steps, he didn't see his pair of embroidered shoes, so he asked the young man, "Where are my shoes?"
The young man let go of his arms, took out Liang Xun's pair of embroidered hibiscus tulle short boots from his arms, and slowly placed them in front of Liang Xun, carefully arranging them: "Summer is like autumn on the mountain, and the empress has been enjoying it barefoot for a long time. It's cold, I'm afraid it will cause the cold to invade the body, so the villain warmed the shoes in his arms, the lady put them on quickly, don't catch the wind and cold."
Liang Xun looked at this handsome young man, his heart was full of undercurrents, but it was just an ordinary sentence: "You have a heart."
The boy replied, "I dare not."
"What's your name?"
"Little man Danye."
"'The mountains are far away, the sky is high, the water is cold, the water is cold, and the lovesickness is the maple leaf'. I am afraid that you are destined to have a relationship with the maple tree."
Liang Xun's heart was full of turmoil, and he tried his best to restrain himself, not to linger, and left Chasing Fengxuan silently.Looking back, this other courtyard, with several maple trees, feels lonely.
At dusk, the banquet will start, Liang Xun never attended, and Han Xuan only showed up slightly, seeing Lan Ze's careful management, the palace is in order, and I feel relieved.After waiting for a while, when the lanterns first came on, Han Xuan was sent out of Yaozhuo Palace by Lan Ze.
He bumped into him head-on in a military uniform, and saw that it was Xiao Yu, a young man who was heroic and vigorous, and after a long time of training, he was even more composed now.Beside him was Jun Yue, still in the same mood as before, her eyes were like water, with a little bit of timidity, she was even more pitiful.
When meeting two people, Xiao Yu bowed his hands to salute, and Jun Yue also took his time and performed the courtesy: "I have seen the empress dowager Yun, and I have seen the leader of the palace."
"Ma'am, you don't need to be too polite." Seeing that he was an old man, Han Xuan was more polite.Looking closely, under the palace lantern, Junyue is slender and fragile, her skin is like creamy fat, and she looks like Chunxi.Hanxuan couldn't help sighing secretly: Only with a husband who loves him wholeheartedly, can he have such a beautiful face and soft posture, with a radiant appearance.
As for myself, I can't dream with Ren Anzhi, and even with Tianque, there is a rift.
It was Lan Ze who broke Han Xuan's silence: "I've never seen this one before."
Han Xuan said with a smile: "The two have a strong sense of friendship, and everyone in the world knows about it. The concubine must have heard the rumors. Now that I have met, I know what it means to be in love with a fairy couple. I am envious of countless people in the world."
"My lord made fun of me." Xiao Yu just responded generously, seeing Jun Yue blushing, he held Jun Yue's slender hand tightly.
"It's a joke, if you want to tell all the past stories of the two of you, I'm afraid you'll have to stand here until dawn."
Hearing Hanxuan's words, Lan Ze understood immediately, and said, "Your Excellency and Madam, let's enter the palace first. I will come right away."
Jun Yue held Xiao Yu's arm, and gracefully entered the palace.Seeing the two walking far away, the smile on Han Xuan's face immediately weakened a little, and he sighed softly: "Xiao Yu is infatuated. Your Majesty intended to lower the princess to him, but he was a Taoist priest. He asked to resign several times, Your Majesty I had no choice but to give up."
"This madam, what a blessing." Lan Ze said lightly, and when he heard the music, he said to Han Xuan: "I will send you off not far from the palace. There are many close ministers and nobles at the Qixi night banquet, and now Concubine Zhao Please ask me if you are sick, I will not look at it anymore, for fear of hurting His Majesty's face."
"Thank you." Han Xuan left Yaozhuo Palace and left the palace alone.And Lan Ze went back to the palace and sat down, but had a banquet as usual.
After a few rounds of singing and dancing, Lan Ze hesitated for a while, knowing that he couldn't persuade him clearly, seeing that Tianque was enjoying himself with wine, so he said, "Your Majesty, this roasted glutinous rice cake is a new dish in the palace. Has Your Majesty tried it before?" Pass?"
Tian Que looked back at Lan Ze, with sleepy eyes: "The concubine is working hard. I inherited my uncle's great career, and my business is not stable, so I don't care much about the harem. Only this concubine Zhao, who has no choice but to be ill today, can only take the liberty to disturb the concubine's tranquility. I hope the concubine will take care of her."
Lan Ze didn't understand what he meant, so he echoed: "The late emperor blamed the Chan sages, and it is Your Majesty's grace that we and our family members can be raised in the palace. Your Majesty's government is important, and my widow can take care of the small things in the inner palace." Continuous strength is beneficial to the family and the country, and it is also for us to accumulate virtue and blessings."
Hearing these words, Tian Que felt even more joyful, and said more politely: "The concubine should also nourish her body and maintain her jade body."
Lan Ze agreed with a smile, and raised his chopsticks to move the grilled scorpion, but his white teeth grinned lightly, his brows tightened, he spat it out again, and immediately rinsed his mouth with tea.
Tian Que noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This beef is slightly bitter, everyone, don't move it lightly." Lan Ze turned his head to Sui Xixi and said, "Send an imperial doctor to the palace."
Everyone was stunned, but it was only because the cooking was careless, and Tian Que didn't care about it, so they toasted and chatted.It was only after the imperial doctor came that everyone was really startled.
"In the beef, there seems to be... □□. But the content is very small. Fortunately, the empress has not eaten it, so it should be fine."
Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Tian Que became enraged for a moment: "How did this happen at the palace banquet? Is someone intentionally poisoning you?"
"This poison is hidden deep in the meat. I have tested it, and the cups and plates are all clean. It doesn't seem to be added during cooking. I think it is when the livestock eat the realgar. After cooking, the realgar is heated and turns into □ □."
Tian Que only asked: "Where did the animals for the palace banquet come from?"
Seeing thinking for a moment, Xixi said cautiously: "When the water was cut off in the palace, a batch of livestock was urgently recruited to push the wheel. Now Gongcao is bringing water from the mountain, and the batch of livestock is raised here to feed the palace."
Hearing these words, a thought flashed through Tian Que's mind, his brows were furrowed, he got up and left the table, leaving only one sentence: "I feel a little unwell, I will go back to the back hall to rest."
The hall here was deserted for a while, and everyone went inside without knowing it.And Hanxuan didn't expect that the mountain rain was coming, but he sat leisurely in the car, passed the ginkgo tree, saw Suian's back, and went down the mountain safely.
When they arrived in the courtyard, Suian helped Hanxuan get off the car, saw Hanxuan wearing the coral tiara, and smiled knowingly: "I knew it, you must look good in it."
Han Xuan also changed his cold face: "Brother has been busy all day, let's rest earlier."
Sui'an accompanied him today, but Hanxuan did not refuse, so he sent him to Shixiang Pavilion.
Then they turned to the corridor and entered the courtyard, both of them were terrified - they saw Tian Que standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.The courtyard was full of soldiers and swords, and a chill was suddenly born.
The two were apprehensive, but they bent down to salute, and waited for Tianque to attack.
Tian Que never looked directly at the two of them, and raised his finger to Sui'an, angrily said: "You, go to the front hall and kneel, you are not allowed to get up until you are told."
Sui'an didn't make any excuses, he was proud and righteous, he turned around and left.Only Hanxuan was left alone, and when the autumn wind picked up, he raised his sleeves slightly, and felt cold in his flesh.
"You, follow me."
I haven't seen the green gauze insects moving, and the cicadas are making noise in the deep forest.The autumn cold gradually rises, only the flowers turn red at night, the grass is cold and green, the Cangshan Mountains are covered with fog, and the Big Dipper is dry.
Zichen was approaching, and Hanxuan was tired of coping. On this day, he was busy until the moon was in the middle of the sky, so the palace servants carried the lanterns and walked slowly to Qionghanmen.
When Fang went out of the palace gate, he saw Suian sitting on a horse.In the darkness of night, his armed body is still and solemn, and his horse is also very dignified.The dim light slanted, looking at Sui'an's face, it was hard to hide its sharpness.
Han Xuan was already tired, so he was unable to blame him, so he just asked shallowly: "Why is brother here?"
"After the work in the camp is over, let's take a look around. If you want to come, you should go back to your home, and I will wait for you to go with you."
"Then let's go together." Han Xuan was extremely tired, he had no intention of avoiding fear, so he had no expression on his face, and was supported by the palace servants, and got on the carving cart.Seeing this, Suian reined in his horse and walked a few steps forward, dragging the ruts, and went all the way down the mountain.
Hanxuan lightly picked up the curtain of the car, looked across his eyes, Sui'an acted as usual, without the slightest sluggishness, so he was not to blame.The moon hangs high, the stars are bright, and the cool breeze brings dew, which makes people feel relaxed.
After arriving at the mansion, when Hanxuan got off the car, Suian wanted to help Hanxuan, but Hanxuan gently avoided him, and said coldly: "After a while, the dew will turn into frost, you have worked so hard , you don’t have to come to take me back home every day.”
Sui'an didn't look annoyed, but he said with concern: "Since you know that the leaves are falling in the palm garden, why don't you go home earlier?"
"Things in the palace are complicated and trivial, and it's really hard for me to get away. You also have an important job, and you don't have to suffer so much, and you don't need to be so self-sufficient. Doing things like this will be of no benefit to you and me."
"You and my brother and sister, the world has just been settled, and the palace is unstable. It is difficult to travel at night, and you don't like to be accompanied by attendants. To prevent accidents, why not escort your sister back to the mansion for your brother?"
"What kind of brothers and sisters we are, the world doesn't know. It's not in the palace, so no one will disagree."
Seeing Hanxuan's complexion as frosty, Suian only blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "I won't go outside Qionghan's gate next time."
Han Xuan went upstairs alone without saying a word.The autumn evening is far away, the moon is in the pavilion, and in the empty courtyard, only Sui'an is lonely and independent.It's as if in the pavilion, the windows are closed tightly, and the lights are like beans.
Zong Hanxuan deliberately avoids taboos, but there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and Suian only picks him up once, so Tianque obviously has already got the news.
Entering the palace the next day, just before entering the Yaozhuo Palace, I already felt that Tianque's words had a profound meaning.Hanxuan was still at Bushan, and Tianque was sitting sideways, looking at the scroll, and casually said: "Yesterday I leaned on the railing and saw Pingchu Cang, only then did I know that Qingxia has gone, and when the leaves fall, the autumn clouds Time to fly."
Hanxuan was dressed in a water-coloured palace dress, with a crown of snow-seeking plums on his head, and was dispatching the palace servants to set out bowls, so he said in vain, "Hanshan is verdant, and the autumn water is gurgling. After all, it is autumn, and the scenery is the best. "
"'Twilight clouds are harvested to overflow the cold', you once said that you love autumn the most." Tian Que said lightly, "Is the way back home easy?"
Han Xuan's heart tightened, and he said cautiously: "There are elite soldiers guarding the palace roads, so there is no danger. It's just that the wind is tight sometimes, but the ministers don't know where they are."
"I only care about your safety, you don't need to worry about it." Tian Que was a little embarrassed, "Why don't I send you off, after dinner, I often feel tired, and it's pleasant to walk around for a while."
"Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, and as a minister, if you miss the state affairs, you will feel ashamed."
"It's not too far away, just go to Qionghan Gate." Tianque raised his eyes, looking tenderly at Hanxuan, "I just want to be with you for a while every day."
Han Xuan didn't dare to raise his head, and even less dared to look at the ocean-like eyes. It was hard to refuse, but he managed to squeeze out a slight smile.
Tianque is also showing his face: "I know you have worked hard. At three o'clock every day, you and I will meet in Buguan Pavilion. I will send you to Qionghan Gate, and you will go out of the palace again."
Han Xuan responded in a daze, and fled out of Yaozhuo Palace as if fleeing.Xijian and Zhiyu are retainers, and Hanxuan only ordered them to serve more in front of the driver.Since Tianque became the master, Xi saw that because of his meritorious service, he won more awards and established his own mansion, which is even more like Hanxuan's past.However, after the change of seizing the throne, Hanxuan was slightly suspicious when he saw Xixi.
Fortunately, in front of Hanxuan, both of them seem to be the same as before.Hanxuan sometimes blamed himself for worrying too much, so he never showed his heart.When Fang came out of the palace, he had no time to think about whether the two were loyal or not, and his heart was full of worries, most of which were in the Buguan Pavilion.
At dusk, Hanxuan intentionally came late, and Tianque was already on the corridor.
This is not a pavilion. In order to get the meaning of a cave, there is only a trail facing the cliff.The path is deep and deep, and at the end is a cliff.It is extremely dangerous, and the infinite blue sky can be seen at a glance.Standing in the Tao, you will feel the insignificance of human beings, like a mayfly in the morning.
At this time, the setting sun is like fire, the thick flames are burning out, and the rays of light are shining for thousands of miles, and the sky is full of brocades.The night in the east is gradually rising, the curtain of sparse stars, the frost and the moon are beautiful, and the faces of the two seem to be crimson.
Seeing Han Xuan approaching, Tian Que was eager to embrace him in his arms, his eyebrows and eyes were full: "'There has been infatuation in life since ancient times, and this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.' This hatred, only the king knows."
The sky tower was getting closer and closer, and the moist breath hit Hanxuan's cheeks: "Tomorrow is Qixi Festival, why don't you just let go of this long-lasting hatred in this Buguan Pavilion?"
Hanxuan was in Tianque's arms, but he felt strange.Recalling that in the Rouke Pavilion, the two of them were gentle and lingering, they just walked in the clouds and flowing water, without feeling the slightest astringency, but at this moment, they felt cold.
"Your Majesty is worried about the affairs of the state, the case is exhausting, and the night is heavy, so it is better to return early." Hanxuan was careful and sighed: "I am also tired."
Hanxuan thought of Anzhi unconsciously.Since the age of 16, I have never wanted to be happy with her and stay together for life.I always feel that in those glorious years, I only hope that the sun will bloom and the moon will set, and the wind will sing against the moon.Although the Tianque is not safe, but the mansion agreed that day, Hanxuan really loves each other.Now the days of longing and longing are within reach, but Han Xuan feels tired.
Tian Que was slightly displeased when he heard the words: "Are you in such a hurry to go back to that home?"
Han Xuan understood the reason, and said: "Brother lives in the front hall on the west road, and I live in the Xiang Pavilion at the end of the east road. I have never met the servants in the house on weekdays. Most of them are old people. You must understand."
Tian Que didn't say any more, only to see Han Xuan bowing slightly, doing all the courtesy, with a cold and silent face, and left alone.
After leaving the Buguan Pavilion and passing the Maoyuan Hall, you will see the Qionghan Gate.The frame was already ready, Hanxuan felt a little more relaxed when he saw that Suian was not seen outside the door.
The mountain roads meander, the fields are vast, and the autumn clouds are light and thin, only teaching the moon to fade away.The night is as cool as water, and the autumn gnats are sparse, only the sound of jackdaws singing late to the moon.
Walking to the twists and turns, I saw a handsome horse standing under the ginkgo tree with a small lamp.The palace lanterns are few and far between, but they are soft and warm. A fine tree, half of which is golden.The leaves are scattered like butterflies dancing, scurrying down all the way.
"'Who is pitying the rivers and lakes, the jade bones and ice muscles are not willing to wither.' What a ginkgo." Hanxuan opened the curtain of the car, quietly in the shadow of this warm light: like this small lamp, which can hide the world All things are in this universe, but this field, a ginkgo tree, a small car, and two lonely people.
"Go home." Sui'an didn't repeat anything, carrying the palace lantern, and walking in front of the car with gentle hooves, "I know you're in trouble, so from now on, I'll just wait for you here."
"The mountains are high and the autumn is cold and clear to the bone. Take care of your body."
"You saved my body, I can't bear this slight cold, and I'm no longer in front of your eyes."
Hanxuan's hidden worries arose again, but when he looked at Sui'an's back, he felt a little peace of mind.
One night passed, and it was Qixi Festival.When he got up in the morning, Hanxuan looked out of the window and saw that Sui'an came earlier than usual, so he naturally understood in his heart that the good night of Qixi Festival was the first time the two met.
Han Xuan remained calm, got up to wash up, boarded the car and entered the palace.Sui'an didn't say a word, but he didn't know that the coral crown was hidden in Hanxuan's sleeve long ago.
After entering the palace gate, Xi Jian was waiting by the gate as usual, and when he saw Hanxuan, he didn't pay much attention, but said: "Today's Qixi night banquet, the concubine Zhao is also known as an excuse for illness, so your majesty has to let Concubine Yun take charge of the matter and see your majesty's color." , seems unhappy."
"Xun'er has always been weak, Your Majesty, you should be considerate before driving." After Han Xuan finished speaking, he walked towards Gu Yuandian.
Gu Yuandian's furnishings are elegant, flashy but not extravagant, and it complements Liang Xun's temperament.But Hanxuan looked around the hall, from the golden jade pearls, carved windows and embroidered doors, he could see a trace of decadence.
"Why are you free today?" Liang Xun was putting a bottle in front of the window, his words were friendly and he never raised his head.She is dressed in the color of a concubine, with green hair loosely tied under a green plum crown.The morning light, shining on the jade face, is even more demure and elegant.
"I heard that the empress said she was sick, so I came to see it." Han Xuan sat down on his own, and also focused on the pink powder in the bottle.
But Liang Xun smiled: "It's just to bluff others, you understand it in your heart."
"Since I can see clearly, Your Majesty understands even more. Always let a bereaved concubine show her face, and a sensible person will say that Your Majesty is lenient and kind, respects the late emperor, and treats the bereaved well. However, there are villains who will say that Your Majesty has something special." Intentionally. You should also plan for His Majesty's name."
Liang Xun didn't take it seriously, and only joked: "That's why I'm sick, and let Your Majesty rest assured that I'm fine, and I'll get better soon, so I can talk about it for him and win a good name."
Hanxuan was slightly annoyed, and joked: "After all, His Majesty loves you more than you, and often accompany you to explain words and play games with each other. He must not bear heavy responsibility."
"Your Majesty often comes to Gu Yuan Palace here, but because we both have no intentions of each other, we treat each other more frankly, without any shyness. Your Majesty always treats you with 'the more timid you are closer to the country'."
Although Liang Xun was joking, Han Xuan felt sad for a moment: "I just don't know, if I'm really useless and can't help him achieve a great cause, what kind of relationship should the two of us have..."
Seeing Han Xuan like this, Liang Xun had no choice but to change the subject, and softly said with relief: "Forget it, all companions in the world are like this, you don't have to worry about it. But I am too self-willed today, and I am afraid that I will annoy our Majesty in the future , ended up guarding Lengyuan alone, unable to eat and wear." Liang Xun slowly folded a longevity guest in his hand, and became more and more playful, "Seeing that the concubine is in charge, if a person with a heart plans to slander him, he will have to It’s important to talk about my temperament, honor and favor, but also to talk about your sincerity in power and responsibility, and even more to talk about the importance of our emperor’s discipline. I’m afraid that the words of the superior and the inferior will dare to lie.”
Han Xuan also explained it himself, and said forcefully: "There are a lot of romantic affairs among the ministers nearby, and I am afraid that your majesty will not be able to join the team."
"Yes, I heard that although Wei Rang Zhuqing is frustrated in the officialdom, the love scene is flourishing."
"It's just another concubine's room. To him, it's harmless."
Liang Xun always wanted Han Xuan to seal the queen, so he said insinuatingly: "Although our emperor has a lot of mountains and rivers in his hands, he is not as good as him."
Hanxuan was at a loss for words for a moment, he stopped talking and laughing, and only said seriously: "You have lived in seclusion for several months, what are your plans? If you have made up your mind... I can plan it myself."
Liang Xun was as calm as water, gently stroking Hanxuan's slender hands: "I enjoy the flowers and willows every day. I feel leisurely and uneasy. Why should I get involved in right and wrong? If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have to bear such a false name. Wouldn't it be more comfortable?"
Seeing that Han Xuan was silent, Liang Xun turned his head and smiled slightly, looking at the mountain scenery outside the window: "Seeing that autumn has arrived, when I met Concubine Yun that day, it was said that there was a Fengxuan in the back mountain, where you can enjoy the maple trees and the mountains, the scenery is extremely beautiful." Jia, I plan to take a visit in the afternoon. I have my own fun, so you don't have to feel ashamed, let alone worry too much."
Han Xuan's face was slightly relieved, and he took off the crown of stepping on the snow and looking for plums on his head, and put it on the table: "Since it is for maple viewing, it is decorated with cheap red flowers, and the cold emerald color is not necessary. I will give you this crown."
Liang Xun accepted it with a smile, only to see Hanxuan fumbled out a coral crown from his sleeve, and sighed slightly: "It's a pity to give this coral to me. There are no mandarin ducks and birds on the coral leaves, but Lianjiang Dianping."
Seeing Hanxuan leave sadly, Yuezhi welcomes him, put a cup of tea in front of Liang Xun, looked at the emerald jewels on the table, and asked sincerely, "Ma'am, do you want to replace this crown for you?"
Liang Xun just shook his head slightly: "No need. What's his is his after all."
When Yuezhi heard the words, he just stepped back silently.
Liang Xun continued to stack the pistils in his hand, and inserted them into the bottle while admiring them.So leisurely and peaceful, it seems that time is lazy and never disturbed.
After half a day, after lunch, Liang Xun wanted to chase Fengxuan when he saw that Qiuyang was just right.
Liang Xun didn't like guards of honor, so he only took Yuezhi alone, and walked through the flowers and trees to the mountains, rocks and dense forests.Because it is late summer and early autumn, most of the mountain trees are green and lush.
After walking for a long time, I saw a small courtyard surrounded by maple trees, enveloping it.The maple leaves are not yet red, but it is still a green bush.Pushing the door and entering, you can't see the courtyard as soon as you enter. Both sides are open pavilions, only the main seat, and there are one or three small cabins, which seem to be built on the cliff. It is nothing.
Because there are corridors all around, and the foundation of the temple is high, if you want to enter the atrium, you need to go down three or two stone steps.I saw that the courtyard was paved with white pebbles. The pebbles were white and shiny, and the autumn sun slanted, giving off warmth.The maple trees outside the pavilion are lush and lush, and many branches extend into the courtyard. On the pebbles, there are slightly mottled tree shadows, and there are even fallen leaves occasionally, adding to its elegance.
Seeing this, Liang Xun couldn't help but feel refreshed. Under the autumn sun, the pebbles looked like sleeping babies one by one, which only made Liang Xun look at them peacefully.Liang Xun then told Yue: "It's cool in the mountains, so go to Gu Yuan Hall and get a cloak."
Yuezhi understood that Liang Xun wanted to be alone, so he didn't ask any more questions and left the hall.When he walked away, Liang Xun became more interested, took off his shoes and socks, and went down the temple steps barefoot, stepping on the pebbles.After a long period of sunshine, you can tiptoe on the stone and feel the warmth under your feet.Liang Xun wandered about, spun low and enjoyed himself.The sunlight was printed on his beautiful face, and his skin was as radiant as jade, and his complexion was alluring.
Suddenly he heard a noise, Liang Xun suddenly became alarmed, and saw a young man coming out from the ear room, hurriedly approached, and greeted each other with a big gift: "Your servant sees that the driver is late, I hope your mother will forgive me."
Seeing that he was disturbed by others, Liang Xun didn't hesitate at first, but he was absorbed in the scene and his mind was gentle, so he didn't want to get angry, so he said lightly: "Get up."
The boy got up and stood with his head bowed.Liang Xun glanced over leisurely, and saw that young man's skin was like snow, clear and slender, with sharp edges and corners, clear brows, and a humble attitude.
"Are you alone here?"
"Going back to your mother's words, there is no one in Chasing Fengxuan all year round. The adults said that there is no need for multiple people to manage it, so only the villain is left to manage it."
Liang Xun nodded slightly, stopped looking at the young man, and went back to bathing in the shadow of the sun.The young man knelt on the pavilion, folded his hands in front of his chest, and treated each other respectfully without saying a word.
After enjoying for a long time, the shadow of the sun gradually slanted, and Liang Xun wanted to go back to the palace.But when he got up the steps, he didn't see his pair of embroidered shoes, so he asked the young man, "Where are my shoes?"
The young man let go of his arms, took out Liang Xun's pair of embroidered hibiscus tulle short boots from his arms, and slowly placed them in front of Liang Xun, carefully arranging them: "Summer is like autumn on the mountain, and the empress has been enjoying it barefoot for a long time. It's cold, I'm afraid it will cause the cold to invade the body, so the villain warmed the shoes in his arms, the lady put them on quickly, don't catch the wind and cold."
Liang Xun looked at this handsome young man, his heart was full of undercurrents, but it was just an ordinary sentence: "You have a heart."
The boy replied, "I dare not."
"What's your name?"
"Little man Danye."
"'The mountains are far away, the sky is high, the water is cold, the water is cold, and the lovesickness is the maple leaf'. I am afraid that you are destined to have a relationship with the maple tree."
Liang Xun's heart was full of turmoil, and he tried his best to restrain himself, not to linger, and left Chasing Fengxuan silently.Looking back, this other courtyard, with several maple trees, feels lonely.
At dusk, the banquet will start, Liang Xun never attended, and Han Xuan only showed up slightly, seeing Lan Ze's careful management, the palace is in order, and I feel relieved.After waiting for a while, when the lanterns first came on, Han Xuan was sent out of Yaozhuo Palace by Lan Ze.
He bumped into him head-on in a military uniform, and saw that it was Xiao Yu, a young man who was heroic and vigorous, and after a long time of training, he was even more composed now.Beside him was Jun Yue, still in the same mood as before, her eyes were like water, with a little bit of timidity, she was even more pitiful.
When meeting two people, Xiao Yu bowed his hands to salute, and Jun Yue also took his time and performed the courtesy: "I have seen the empress dowager Yun, and I have seen the leader of the palace."
"Ma'am, you don't need to be too polite." Seeing that he was an old man, Han Xuan was more polite.Looking closely, under the palace lantern, Junyue is slender and fragile, her skin is like creamy fat, and she looks like Chunxi.Hanxuan couldn't help sighing secretly: Only with a husband who loves him wholeheartedly, can he have such a beautiful face and soft posture, with a radiant appearance.
As for myself, I can't dream with Ren Anzhi, and even with Tianque, there is a rift.
It was Lan Ze who broke Han Xuan's silence: "I've never seen this one before."
Han Xuan said with a smile: "The two have a strong sense of friendship, and everyone in the world knows about it. The concubine must have heard the rumors. Now that I have met, I know what it means to be in love with a fairy couple. I am envious of countless people in the world."
"My lord made fun of me." Xiao Yu just responded generously, seeing Jun Yue blushing, he held Jun Yue's slender hand tightly.
"It's a joke, if you want to tell all the past stories of the two of you, I'm afraid you'll have to stand here until dawn."
Hearing Hanxuan's words, Lan Ze understood immediately, and said, "Your Excellency and Madam, let's enter the palace first. I will come right away."
Jun Yue held Xiao Yu's arm, and gracefully entered the palace.Seeing the two walking far away, the smile on Han Xuan's face immediately weakened a little, and he sighed softly: "Xiao Yu is infatuated. Your Majesty intended to lower the princess to him, but he was a Taoist priest. He asked to resign several times, Your Majesty I had no choice but to give up."
"This madam, what a blessing." Lan Ze said lightly, and when he heard the music, he said to Han Xuan: "I will send you off not far from the palace. There are many close ministers and nobles at the Qixi night banquet, and now Concubine Zhao Please ask me if you are sick, I will not look at it anymore, for fear of hurting His Majesty's face."
"Thank you." Han Xuan left Yaozhuo Palace and left the palace alone.And Lan Ze went back to the palace and sat down, but had a banquet as usual.
After a few rounds of singing and dancing, Lan Ze hesitated for a while, knowing that he couldn't persuade him clearly, seeing that Tianque was enjoying himself with wine, so he said, "Your Majesty, this roasted glutinous rice cake is a new dish in the palace. Has Your Majesty tried it before?" Pass?"
Tian Que looked back at Lan Ze, with sleepy eyes: "The concubine is working hard. I inherited my uncle's great career, and my business is not stable, so I don't care much about the harem. Only this concubine Zhao, who has no choice but to be ill today, can only take the liberty to disturb the concubine's tranquility. I hope the concubine will take care of her."
Lan Ze didn't understand what he meant, so he echoed: "The late emperor blamed the Chan sages, and it is Your Majesty's grace that we and our family members can be raised in the palace. Your Majesty's government is important, and my widow can take care of the small things in the inner palace." Continuous strength is beneficial to the family and the country, and it is also for us to accumulate virtue and blessings."
Hearing these words, Tian Que felt even more joyful, and said more politely: "The concubine should also nourish her body and maintain her jade body."
Lan Ze agreed with a smile, and raised his chopsticks to move the grilled scorpion, but his white teeth grinned lightly, his brows tightened, he spat it out again, and immediately rinsed his mouth with tea.
Tian Que noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This beef is slightly bitter, everyone, don't move it lightly." Lan Ze turned his head to Sui Xixi and said, "Send an imperial doctor to the palace."
Everyone was stunned, but it was only because the cooking was careless, and Tian Que didn't care about it, so they toasted and chatted.It was only after the imperial doctor came that everyone was really startled.
"In the beef, there seems to be... □□. But the content is very small. Fortunately, the empress has not eaten it, so it should be fine."
Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Tian Que became enraged for a moment: "How did this happen at the palace banquet? Is someone intentionally poisoning you?"
"This poison is hidden deep in the meat. I have tested it, and the cups and plates are all clean. It doesn't seem to be added during cooking. I think it is when the livestock eat the realgar. After cooking, the realgar is heated and turns into □ □."
Tian Que only asked: "Where did the animals for the palace banquet come from?"
Seeing thinking for a moment, Xixi said cautiously: "When the water was cut off in the palace, a batch of livestock was urgently recruited to push the wheel. Now Gongcao is bringing water from the mountain, and the batch of livestock is raised here to feed the palace."
Hearing these words, a thought flashed through Tian Que's mind, his brows were furrowed, he got up and left the table, leaving only one sentence: "I feel a little unwell, I will go back to the back hall to rest."
The hall here was deserted for a while, and everyone went inside without knowing it.And Hanxuan didn't expect that the mountain rain was coming, but he sat leisurely in the car, passed the ginkgo tree, saw Suian's back, and went down the mountain safely.
When they arrived in the courtyard, Suian helped Hanxuan get off the car, saw Hanxuan wearing the coral tiara, and smiled knowingly: "I knew it, you must look good in it."
Han Xuan also changed his cold face: "Brother has been busy all day, let's rest earlier."
Sui'an accompanied him today, but Hanxuan did not refuse, so he sent him to Shixiang Pavilion.
Then they turned to the corridor and entered the courtyard, both of them were terrified - they saw Tian Que standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.The courtyard was full of soldiers and swords, and a chill was suddenly born.
The two were apprehensive, but they bent down to salute, and waited for Tianque to attack.
Tian Que never looked directly at the two of them, and raised his finger to Sui'an, angrily said: "You, go to the front hall and kneel, you are not allowed to get up until you are told."
Sui'an didn't make any excuses, he was proud and righteous, he turned around and left.Only Hanxuan was left alone, and when the autumn wind picked up, he raised his sleeves slightly, and felt cold in his flesh.
"You, follow me."
