Li Chengyin looked disapproving: "It's not that I haven't slept before."

This is true.

I was so sleepy that I climbed onto the bed. Li Chengyin was going to give me half of the quilt. I was afraid of touching his wounds, so I reached out and covered the quilt on my foot. Then, I fell asleep comfortably.

Later, Yong Niang awakened me in a soft voice. I put on my clothes quietly. Yong Niang told me in a low voice that the purpose of deposing the queen was finally revealed to the world, but it is said that the Queen Mother came forward to comfort me and the harem was still very stable.

Following the imperial decree of the deposed queen, the inner court also has a special decree to restore Zhao Liangdi to the position of Liangdi, because she was wronged.

I glanced at Li Chengyin on the bed very sadly. He was asleep and he hadn't woke up yet. Because of the serious injury, his face was still pale and bloodless for so many days, and he lost a circle, even the circles under his eyes were black and blue.

I said to Yong Niang: "Send someone to call Zhao Liangdi to wait for your Royal Highness."

This place doesn't belong to me in the first place. I have stayed here for several days.

I didn't wait for Yong Niang to speak, so I walked out of the temple and ordered people to prepare.

I returned to my temple, no more sleepy. I probably slept for too long. I looked at myself in the mirror. If I were more beautiful, would Li Chengyin like me?

Li Chengyin originally liked me or not, I didn't care at all, but after this catastrophe, I felt that I actually cared. Now that he is alive, I hope he likes me. Because when he was about to die, I knew I liked him.

However, he only likes Zhao Liangdi.

I have never been so worried as I am now.

I don’t want to eat or sleep, I just sit there every day.

Zhao Liangdi returned to the yard where she lived, and the empress dowager felt that she had been wronged, and successively awarded her many treasures. Then her father was recently promoted again, and there were more people cheating on her. The yard where she lives is very lively, occasionally passing by from outside, you can hear the sound of talking and laughing, the sound of strings, and singing in the wall.

Li Chengyin's injury should be almost healed. Although I haven't seen him again, I heard him laugh once.

It must be good to be able to laugh so happy.

Two things happened on the day of heavy snow. One thing was that there was an decree in the palace, and Princess Luoxi gave a marriage photo; the second thing was that Xu Niang was sent back to the East Palace.

Pei Zhao's family background is very good. His mother is Pingnan Princess. Yong Niang told me, "General Pei was born to be a horseman."

It is said that this is what the Central Plains is particular about.

I thought of the dream I had myself, but I felt very sad. After General Pei became a consort, he might be promoted. If he ceases to be General Jin Wu of the East Palace, maybe I will never see him again.

I couldn't see Li Chengyin anymore, now I can't even see Pei Zhao.

Yongniang placed Xu Niang in a yard west of the East Palace. She said that it was quiet and Xu Niang was not in good health, so she should raise herself quietly for a while.

I think it's because Li Chengyin doesn't like her, so the place Yongniang picked for her is quite far from the main hall. Yongniang said to me: "Zhao Liangdi is flourishing, and the princess should avoid it."

I don't quite understand what Yong Niang said, but I know that I was told to avoid Zhao Liangdi.

I'm not happy in the Eastern Palace anyway. Fortunately, Adu's injury is healed. I can sneak out with Adu again.

It hasn't been out for a month or two. Although the weather is cold and it has just snowed, it is very lively outside the palace because it is almost New Year.

The streets are full of people, and there are full of small vendors, snow willows, spring banners, food, New Year pictures... jugglers, puppet shows, firecrackers, rope walkers... People who can't even squeeze. I like this kind of excitement. I always like to squeeze in a crowd with Adu. Look here and there.

But today I don’t know why, I always can’t lift my energy. After not strolling for a while, he took Adu to Milo's shop for a drink.

The wine shop is still so lively, and Miró’s laughter can be heard from far away, which is clear and crisp, like a silver bell.

I stepped under the bamboo shed of the wine shop, only to realize that she was joking with someone. I also know that person, who turned out to be Pei Zhao.

I didn't expect to meet Pei Zhao here, and I was taken aback. He probably didn't expect to meet me, so he was also taken aback.

When I saw Pei Zhao's light robe slowly worn, and in a relaxed manner, I handed over and said, "Master Pei."

He reacted very quickly, and he arched his hand at me: "Young Master Liang."

There are too many people in the wine shop, only Pei Zhao has a vacant table beside the table. I honestly greeted Adu to sit down first and order two jars of wine.

How do you say that sentence? I drank my sorrow with wine.

Although I have no worries to pour, I am bored, so after drinking two bowls, my mood gradually improves.

I knocked the bowl with my chopsticks, and hummed our Xiliang song: "A fox sits on the sand dune, sits on the sand dune, and looks at the moon. Hey, it turns out that it's not looking at the moon, but waiting The girl who returned from herding sheep... a fox sits on the sand dune, sitting on the sand dune, basking in the sun... So... it turns out that she is not basking in the sun, but waiting for a girl passing by on horseback..."

There were a few people in the wine shop crackling and applauding, but I suddenly lost my interest, I couldn't help but sighed, drank another bowl of wine, and started eating fragrant lamb. Adu pulled the corner of my clothes. I knew she wanted to persuade me to drink less, but I ignored her. When I was immersed in eating meat, I suddenly heard a sound of "discipline", which turned out to be a jerk. I raised my head and stared at Pei Zhao on the other side of the table.

A'du didn't know when he handed the 筚篥 to him, he played carefully, the tune was melodious and tactful.

I supported my chin and listened to him.

The tune he played this time turned out to be the half of the minor tune I just sang. He must have never heard it before, so he played it very jerky, but the main rhythm is still correct, just one sentence and one sentence. It became much smoother afterwards. This piece was originally very cheerful, but I don’t know why, I just feel sad.

Pei Zhao blew it again before putting down the 筚篥.

I drank another bowl of wine and said to him, "Can you do me a favor?"

Pei Zhao is still very polite to me: "Master, please give me orders."

"I have never been to the Vermilion Bird Gate. Can you sneak me up and take a look?"

Being a bit embarrassed on the face of Pei Zhao, I said to myself: "Forget it, when I haven't said it."

Unexpectedly, Pei Zhao said: "It is very inconvenient to sneak up, but there are other ways to do it, just to wrong your son and act as my follower."

I suddenly became energetic, clapped my hands and smiled: "This is no problem."

Adu and I pretended to be Pei Zhao's attendants, swaggering, and followed him to the Vermilion Bird Gate.

Zhuquemen is the highest place in Shangjing, higher than the Linglong Pavilion beside the Taiye Pool of the Imperial Palace. Because this is the south gate of the Nine Citys of Shangjing, the guards are extremely strict, with three steps one post and five steps one post. Pei illuminated the token and we went up to the tower smoothly.

The highest part of the tower was empty, because the guards were all below.

Standing on the tower, Wind Hunter blows on his face, cutting pain like a knife. But overlooking the thousands of lights in Jiucheng, it is extremely majestic. The market neighborhoods are displayed like a chessboard. Those buildings in the East and West Markets are like crystal basins, with clusters of bright lights on.

Looking from a distance, you can even see a large area of ​​the imperial city with glazed tiles like a blue sea, darkening directly to the sky.

Pei Zhao pointed out to me: "That is the East Palace."

I can't see the East Palace, I don't care at all, I stand on tiptoe, just want to see farther.

Standing at such a high place, I can't see Xiliang.

I slumped on the battlement, and asked Pei Zhao listlessly: "Will you be homesick?"

After a while, he said: "I will grow up in Beijing. I haven't left Beijing for a long time, so I never thought about it."

I felt that I was blatantly blatant, so I looked back at him a little bit of a jealousy. The wind on the tower was so strong that his robe and sleeves were fluttering. He stood quite far away from me. The lights on the tower were dim, and I couldn't see the look on his face. I said to him: "Blow a bamboo frame for me."

Adu handed the 筚篥 to him, and he slowly began to play the song I just sang.

I sat on the top of the city, and hummed with Yun Zhen’s voice: "A fox sits on the sand dune, sits on the sand dune, and looks at the moon. Hey, it turns out that it’s not looking at the moon, but waiting. The girl who returned from herding sheep... A fox sits on the sand dune, sitting on the sand dune, basking in the sun... So... it turns out that it is not basking in the sun, but waiting for a girl passing by on horseback... A fox is sitting On the sand dunes, sitting on the sand dunes..."

I know, that fox is not waiting for a girl, it is homesick.

I don't know how long it took before I stopped humming, but the music of Yizheng kept ringing beside me. This familiar tune makes me feel peaceful and relaxed. Even if the tower is so cold, there is a hint of warmth in my heart. It is the voice of Xiliang, the breath of Xiliang, and the only one in this huge and prosperous capital city. Something that feels cordial and familiar.

The clouds all over the sky are very low and yellow, and the moon and stars are invisible. Only the wind cuts on the face, causing pain. I felt sleepy, so I yawned and leaned on Adu.

Jiaozhen's voice gradually rose, like winter mist, gradually drifting into my dream.

I'm going to fall asleep.

At this moment, my face felt cold and I looked up.

It turned out that it was snowing. Numerous snow flakes slowly fell from the endless sky. The wind didn't know when the wind had died. Only the snow was silent, dense and dense. The glittering snowflakes are flying in all directions, like a big hole in the sky, and snow is leaking endlessly below. One piece to the east, one piece to the west, flying scattered, fluttering by the wind.

The lights in the city are gradually sparse, and the snow is like a thick white curtain, gradually covering the world.

Pei Zhao finally put away the 筚篥, it turns out he has been blowing for so long. As soon as he stopped, he couldn't help coughing for a long time. He must have eaten a lot of cool breeze. He was really stupid. I didn't stop, I kept blowing for so long without fear of hurting the lungs. Pei Zhao tried his best to hold back the cough and said to me: "It's snowing, let's **** the princess back home."

I saw a fluffy snowflake on his eyelashes, and it melted in the blink of an eye.

I said capriciously: "I don't want to go back."

"The Princess..."

"Don't call me the prince."

Pei Zhao did not hesitate, but still respectfully said: "Yes, Niang Niang."

I felt very annoyed and asked: "Do you like that princess?"

Pei Zhao was startled, and did not speak.

I patted his shoulder comfortingly: "I guess you don't like it! I didn't expect you to be forced to marry someone you don't like. Alas, you guys in the Central Plains are really poor. But I am also five Ten steps to laugh at a hundred steps. Even if Li Chengyin is a prince, he can’t register the person he likes as the prince princess. As for you, you have to cherish each other with him..."

My idiom may be used in a mess, so Pei Zhao's face is quite unnatural, and in the end he only answered faintly "yes".

I said generously: "Don't worry! I invite you to drink wine!"

Pei Zhao seems to be choked again, coughing again. I told him generously: "I have a friend in Mingyufang! He looks pretty! It's cheaper for you today!"

"The Princess..."

"Don't call me the crown prince!" I happily pulled him up, "Go! Come with me to drink wine!"

Pei Zhao obviously didn't expect me to be a frequent visitor in Fengyuechang. When he saw my style at Mingyufang, he was shocked.

The point is that the moment Wang Auntie saw me, she was as if she saw a living treasure. She opened her eyes and smiled and greeted me. She grabbed my sleeve and said: "Oh, Mr. Liang is here! Girls upstairs and downstairs, Young Master Liang is here!"

Although Wang Auntie is full of flesh, but her voice is sharp, thin, high and bright, and with such a scream, the whole Mingyufang is suddenly vigorous, and countless red and green Yingying Yanyan go upstairs and downstairs It rushed out: "Young Master Liang is here! How come Young Master Liang hasn't been here for so long? Young Master Liang has forgotten us..."

I was surrounded by them, so disappointed: "No no... I passed by today..."

"Huh! The day before yesterday Yueniang was still saying, Young Master Liang, if you don't come again, let's dig out all the fifteen jars of good wine you have here and drink."

"Yeah, there is also the altar of snow buried under the plum blossoms. Yueniang still keeps the sencha for you to taste!"

"It's snowing again today, let's cook the bar with this snow water!"

"Good, good!"

I was so dizzy by their quarrel, I asked: "Where is Yueniang? Why didn't I see her?"

"Yueniang, she is sick!"

I was taken aback: "Sick?"

"Yes! Lovesickness!"

"Lovesickness?"

"No. The day before yesterday, a distinguished guest came here for a cup of tea, listened to a piece of music, and then left. I didn't expect Yueniang to fall into lovesickness."

"Who can make Yueniang suffer from lovesickness?"

"Looking at the noble person who should be a scholar, what looks like, a talented person, an extraordinary conversation, and grandiose..."

There is no drama as soon as I hear it. I have heard the storytellers say how many times, the privately set life back garden is the son and the lady, there is no son and the woman in the dust. What's more, this month's mother is the top of the hook column. The human spirit in the teaching workshop, the son who lost to her pomegranate skirt is not one thousand or eight hundred. How can she suffer from lovesickness?

I married Yueniang to Jinlan, and immediately went to see her in her room upstairs. Sure enough, she was not asleep yet, she just leaned on the smoker's cage, holding her cheek, looking at a red candle on the table, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Fifteen!" I called her nickname.

Yueniang saw that it was me, she was also listless: "Are you here?"

I looked at her up and down: "Are you really lovesick?"

"Sister, you don't know, he is really a fairy!"

"You taught me that men are good-looking and can't be eaten!"

"Not only is a talented person, but he also talks very well... What's more rare is that she doesn't mean to be frivolous to me..." Yueniang clasped her hands together for ten, "God bless me, when will I see him again... …"

"He wouldn't be a woman pretending to be a man, too?" I couldn't help interrupting her. "When you recognized me as a woman, you said that I didn't mean to you in any way, so you took a look Seeing that I am actually a woman..."

Yueniang was not moved by me at all: "How could he be a woman pretending to be a man? By looking at his manners, you know that he is a man among men...Ah..."

I bit my ear and told her: "I brought Pei Zhao today! Don't you want to take revenge? Do you want to do something beautiful on Pei Zhao and let him avenge you? His father is General Xiaoqi , He is General Jin Wu, I heard that the Pei family is quite powerful!"

Yueniang shook her head sadly: "It's useless. Gao Mingquan has been in the field for more than 20 years. There are many protégés all over the party. Even Pei's family can't defeat him. And I heard that Concubine Gao will immediately I will be a queen."

"Concubine Gao will be a queen?"

"Yes, there is a rumor that your majesty deposed Empress Zhang just to make Concubine Gao Gui a queen."

I can’t help but admit that I, the princess, have failed so much that I don’t even know the queen’s popular candidates. I have only met Concubine Gao twice in the past, and I met occasionally when I went to the queen to save time. I tried to think about it for a long time, but I only thought of a vague outline. I couldn't remember what she looked like.

I said: "If only you could meet the emperor, you can tell him your grievances."

Yueniang used to be an official in her family, but she was later framed by Gao Ming and ransacked.

At that time, she was only six or seven years old, but she escaped by chance but was sold into the hook column as a Kabuki. Over the years, she has been thinking about revenge. When she first told me about her life experience, she cried. I sympathize with her very much, but unfortunately I can't help her.

Yueniang sighed faintly: "Even if I see the emperor, it’s no use... Well... I don’t want to see the emperor... I... now in my heart... just... I don’t know when I can see that person again... …"

Yueniang really suffered from lovesickness, and she didn't even think about the big feud of the whole family, she was thinking about the brother-in-law.
