Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Eleven, the heart is drifting 2

December 30th in the third year of Yuanding.

At noon on this day, the emperor hosted a banquet for civil and military officials in the Taiqing Hall, which was a state banquet.

In the evening, we will have a family banquet in Qinghua Palace, and share a group with concubines, princes, princesses, younger siblings Huangti, Ningjingyuan, Fengji, Baiyima, Huajingtai, Feng Duying and Nanpianyue in the harem At the New Year's Eve dinner, except for Feng Ji and Feng Duying who went to the banquet alone, the other five people all went to the banquet with their wives and children.

In the Qinghua Palace, Nan Pianyue glanced around, and then whispered to Hua Jingtai: "I heard that Concubine Bei is very beautiful. I wanted to see who is better between her and fourth brother, but unfortunately she didn't." Come."

Hua Jingtai quietly took a look at Feng Ji who was a seat away, seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side, he said: "Perhaps the Beifei didn't come because she knew she couldn't compare to the fourth brother."

"Oh, that makes sense." Nan Pianyue nodded.

Ning Ningyuan heard it from a distance, glanced at the two of them, shook his head and smiled, and did not speak. However, I was also a little strange that the Northern Concubine did not appear on such an important festival. Since she entered the palace, except for Feng Duying whom she had seen in Beihai, none of the six brothers had ever seen her.

The banquets in the palace are naturally lively and luxurious. After the reunion dinner, they will enjoy the fireworks in front of the Taiqing Palace. The banquet was over, and Huang Ti and others left the palace and returned to the residence.

Out of the palace gate, Du Kang, who was supposed to be waiting, was nowhere to be seen. Feng Duying was wondering, but Fengji's voice came from beside him: "Seventh Sister, Fourth Brother will take you home." She turned her head He saw that the other brothers had already got into the sedan chair, and those who got into the carriage got into the carriage, but she and Fengji were waiting in the same place, and the carriages and horses from Fengfu's mansion were not seen. She looked at Fengji in a daze, and he also looked at her quietly. After a while, she smiled lightly and said, "Okay." The moment the words fell, Fengji's eyes faintly flashed a wave of joy and sadness .

The two turned around and left, walking in the car.

On the sky, the cold moon shines on the stars, and the clear light falls on the ground, making the house faintly reflected, making it look hazy and quiet. At this moment, most of the imperial city has fallen into a deep sleep, and every household is reunited with each other, only occasionally a few dim lights shine through the cracks in the windows and doors, casting on the bluestone streets.

The two of them didn't raise a lamp, nor did they speak. In the stars and moonlight, they walked quietly side by side, only the other's shallow breathing and light footsteps lingered in their ears.

At this moment, the world is so cold and vast, yet so peaceful and quiet, as if there are only two of them, as if they can go on like this forever, never to the end...Walking side by side, feeling each other The warm breath was close at hand, and the hearts of the two were filled with joy, but they couldn't stop their sorrow.

After waiting for such a long time, it seems that half of their lives have been exhausted. After going through hundreds of thousands of times, through sorrow, sorrow and joy, they finally came to this moment, where they can walk side by side and accompany each other quietly, but... Such a moment cannot last forever.

Walking through one long silent street after another, passing through one after another of warm lights, Fengfu is already in sight in front of you.

Coincidentally, the two stopped, turned around, looked at each other quietly, their eyes were so similar.

"Fourth brother, I'm here." Feng Duying said, his usually clear voice was now hoarse and dry.

"En." Fengji responded, but Keren stood still.

Feng Duying knew that she should walk away, but she couldn't move. She looked at Fengji, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. She knew she couldn't always be like this. There must be a break, so she said: "Fourth brother, when will you pick up Miss Qu?"

Hearing this, Fengji's dark pupils that looked like midnight had a circle of sad black ripples, thick and gloomy, as if just looking at it would break the heart. Under that kind of gaze, Feng Duying felt pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but lower his head and close his eyes, as if he could stop the pain without looking.

After a while, Fengji finally said, "I sent Shi Yan to Peicheng."

Feng Duying secretly clenched his fist in his sleeve.

"If she dies, I will bear the guilt for the rest of my life, and I will never forget it; but she lives, and lives well, how can I not be happy, and from now on I will no longer feel guilty or restless." Feng Ji's eyes Looking at Feng Duying without blinking, his eyes were full of sadness, "Ying, do you think I can do anything with her? Don't you understand why I have been suffering and hurting for so many years?"

Hearing this, Feng Duying suddenly raised his eyes to look at Fengji, his eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.

"I've been waiting, waiting for you to come back from Jiecheng, so I'll go to ask my elder brother, whether he is angry or reprimanded, I will ask for permission for us to get married." With a bitter smile, the sadness in his eyes is as lingering as a lake of ink, which can drown the world. "Little bandit is a trivial matter to you who have experienced many battles. I figured you might come back in less than a month. I will ask for an order in November and make preparations in December. We can get married in the spring of the new year." , we will be able to give birth to our first child when the first snow falls at the end of next year... But I never expected..." The voice was bitter, and it was unsustainable.

It turns out...it turns out...it turned out to be like this? !

Feng Duying couldn't help trembling all over his body, just felt that even if the thunder hit the top, he wouldn't be in such pain at this moment. In an instant, she would burst into tears and turn around abruptly, but Fengji stretched out his hand and grabbed her.

The warm and strong hand held her hand, she trembled and shrank her hand, but she couldn't pull it away. His hand was clenched tighter and tighter until her bones ached. In an instant, sourness welled up in her eyes, and she suddenly raised her head, her posture like a proud and unyielding phoenix.

He looked at her sideways, and a line of tears silently flowed down the white jade-like cheeks under the moonlight.

She looked up at the night sky, which was full of stars like rain, as if his eyes were everywhere.

Quietly, they held each other's hands tightly.

At that moment, I suddenly hoped that I would grow old in an instant like this, that I would live my whole life, and then I would go to the vicissitudes of life, and I would fulfill the end of the world and never change until death.

One moment can become eternity, and one moment can be different from ten thousand years.

The gate of Fengfu opened, and a ray of light came out, illuminating Du Kang and Shi Yan standing quietly in front of the gate.

He raised his hand and caressed the corners of her eyes, his fingertips were wet and cold, and then spread out in an instant, all the way to his chest, so heavy and cold, "My whole life is my heart, and I will bear thousands of tears for you." He said quietly , looked at her without blinking, for fear of missing a glance, "Ying, it was January back then, and it is January now, and just one month will make you and me so close." [Note ○1]

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then let go of her hand, and slowly pulled away, "Fourth brother, we always make mistakes."

That sentence was like a sharp knife piercing through the chest, and both she and him were in unbearable pain.

Where have you ever been unintentional, it is so affectionate, but they always miss.

"Fourth brother, Jiuluo Mountain is already doomed." Feng Duying turned her back to Fengji, afraid that she would be unable to say or do it to him, "From now on, you are brother, I It's my sister..." The headache was unbearable, she paused, took a breath, and exhaled slowly, "Fourth brother, we each cherish each other." After saying that, she walked towards the gate of Fengfu, walking slowly Extremely fast, as if afraid of the retention behind.

Fengji couldn't help speaking and walking, but there seemed to be an invisible high wall in front of him, which made him unable to call or follow her. Close tightly.

Standing quietly, staring blankly, my heart died like silence, and my heart turned into ashes.

"My lord." Shi Yan called softly holding a lantern.

The man who looked like an ice statue slowly came back to his senses, then turned around and walked back.

There are still two people, but the peace and tranquility before is gone, and the world is so empty and lonely at this moment. There is a bright lamp shining on him, but he can't see anything clearly, his feet are floating, like a wandering spirit.

Shi Yan followed with a lamp, occasionally glancing at Fengji's dull and heartless face, his heart couldn't help but clenched tightly.

After walking for two quarters, we arrived at Feng Mansion.

Crossing the threshold, turning around the front yard, passing through the atrium, saw the "Cangwu Courtyard" where Fengji lived, and was about to open the door, when he heard "Back!"

Shi Yan was slightly stunned, and then silently backed away.

Fengji pushed open the courtyard door, stepped into the courtyard, and then sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, not caring at all about the coldness of the stone bench in the cold winter.

Sitting quietly, the surrounding is also silent, only accompanied by the cold moon and stars in the night sky. Occasionally there is a cold wind blowing gently, like an ice knife and a cold sword scraping the face, but you can't feel the slightest cold or pain. At this moment, the cold and severe pain in your heart have overwhelmed everything in the world.

For so many years, he has been one step away from her. Although it is bitter and painful, he guards and waits... maybe it is guarding a distant happiness, or waiting for a deep-seated despair. Before reaching the end, there is still hope, even if it may be illusory, but that is his only hope.

And today, tonight, finally came to an end.

In front of the palace gate, he even hoped that she would not agree, which meant that she had him in her heart and she still cared about him.

However, she agreed, and walked quietly with him for a while. From then on, she will cut off her love, she will forget her feelings, and she will no longer have him in her heart.

Ding...

A drop of water fell on the stone table, and the soft sound was so clear and shocking in this silent winter night.

Ding...Ding...Ding...

Two drops, three drops, four drops, five drops...

Drop by drop, more and more drops fell, and a layer of shallow water ripples bloomed on the stone table.

On this cold and quiet winter night, Dadong's most perfect first person burst into tears like rain, crying silently, mourning silently.

At this moment, his rationality was finally defeated.

However, only the cold moon in the sky knows each other.
