Chapter 18 Cold Pond Crossing Crane Shadow Cold Moon Burial Flower Soul (Part 2)

This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival in the 44th year of Kangxi is too depressing for me, because it is A Xing's wedding day, and the bride who wears a red head and worships him three times is not me.

Concubine De was reluctant to give up Axing, so he had not left the palace to open the house, and the wedding was held in the palace. Sheng Xiao, bronze drums, suona, and festive voices resounded from morning to night. Qingyu has already been accompanied by Shumo to Yonghe Palace, and it is estimated that he will not return to Ningshou Palace until very late. I chose to sit quietly by the lotus pond in the corner of the palace when everyone was busy. It was autumn, and the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers had already ended, leaving only some of the lotus leaves swaying in the wind that were about to wither.

After the sun went down, a full moon rose, and the deserted moon shone on the decadent lotus pond. There was a big bird flying in the dark at night, which scared my heart to stop a few times, and the music in the distance sounded again. Although the sound was weak, it was enough to hurt my heart. Some breezes were mixed with a fragrance. I remembered Daiyu's 'Hantang Crossing the Crane Shadow, Cold Moon Buried Flower Soul'. Isn't it also in such a Mid-Autumn Festival? What she thought at that time to get rid of the sadness under the fence of others, and there should be her marriage with Baoyu.

"Why do you bother to write such a sad poem here alone?" A man came out of the shade of the tree behind him.

I'm learning from how to write poetry. I remember that A Dream of Red Mansions has probably been written, but it has come out and is also listed as a banned book.

Just by listening to the man's voice, I knew it was the fourth brother. Before he approached me, he saluted: "Four Belle, you should be busy today. What can I order me to come here?"

He handed me the carved box he wanted to give me last time: "I put it in the Ningshou Palace, but you told Qingyu that I accidentally dropped it and sent someone back. You are still coughing. Wouldn't it have been better if you had listened to me earlier?

"I'm humble. Xie Sibeiler cares about it. It's just that I can't accept such a valuable thing."

"The left sentence is a slave, and the right sentence is humble. Who are you angry with? Regardless of your body, you also want to miss your aunt. If she knows that you have been sick for so long, she is not worried. Tonight, she has asked Thirteen and Qingyu many times when she saw you didn't come."

You still mentioned your aunt. If it weren't for you, why would I give up A Xing in order to worry about your aunt?

"Four Belle has nothing to do. I left first, and Ningshou Palace still has something for me to deal with." I will salute back.

"Hight," he came to me. "When will you be angry?"

I looked up and saw his face and had the impulse to slap him: "Four Bailey knows about me and the fourteenth master."

He nodded and talked nonsense. How could such a fox man not know that there were so many of his eyes in the palace that he and A Xing and I were afraid of dating him clearly.

"The night you and 14 didn't see each other, I saw you pulling with him in the garden of the thirteenth brother's house by the window."

It turned out that he knew at that time, on the first night I met A Xing, "Do you know that the 14th Master asked Concubine De to ask the emperor to marry?"

He nodded. I looked at him, such a terrible person. Since I once regarded him as a friend, every word and every step of him seemed to be carefully planned. I was so stupid and defenseless, and ended up like this.

"You deliberately separated me and A Xing, why? My grandfather has gone. My mother is just a minor official now. Il feels that the Luo family has no power. What are you planning? Do you want me to help you win over the Empress Dowager?"

He seemed surprised that I said those words and was a little angry: "Do you think so? Then let me ask you, why did you look at me like that on the night of the Empress Dowager's birthday? Why did you block that knife for me? Is there only one star in your heart?"

It turned out that everything could only blame me. I forgot my identity. It was it that made him misunderstand. It was me who caused my own tragedy today. "Four Bailey misunderstood. Today, I understood that it was a surprise to be a knife for Four Bailey. I have never had the intention to climb high. Please don't care about slaves in the future. "

I turned around and heard him throw the box of dew into the pond. Either way, I chose to help A Xing, then we are two hostile camps. You have your destiny, and I have the history I know, but I really can't be sure about the future.

This winter is surprisingly warm. Although it has snowed, compared with last year, this year's snow is too beautiful. In this way, the third winter of the Qing Dynasty passed. Spring came very early. The Empress Dowager ordered someone to make spring clothes for Qingyu and made a few more sets for me.

Qingyu's marriage is tentatively scheduled for July, and her illness has finally recovered. Long live the old man and the empress dowager are relieved and have an explanation for the king Doro Dureng.

Qingyu asked me where I was going. She thought that she would ask me for a good place when she was still here. I had already thought that it was best to stay with the Empress Dowager's side. First, the Empress Dowager has become familiar with me and still likes me. Second, she is more used to staying with the Empress Dowager. Second, she doesn't have to leave the palace. Maybe she can do it in the future. Help A Xing. Naturally, I didn't say these words to Qingyu. I just asked her to tell the empress dowager for me before she left. She also guessed some of my thoughts and agreed to me.

This day, the eunuch of Qianqing Palace came to tell the empress dowager that the emperor was going to visit Jidian on the first day of next month. The prince had a manor in the suburbs for convenience to live in, and the emperor asked the empress dowager to take eight grids with him.

"In previous years, we only took the princes to the suburbs of Beijing, which was good for hunting. This year, Yin Yu must have bought the manor, and we also used to be lively. Qingyu is going to get married. It's better to go out and have a look before you leave. When you returned to the emperor, Qingyu and I went with the three maids, Mu Nian, Shumo and Ronger. The Empress Dowager seemed to have been bored in the palace for a long time, and she was interested when she thought of going out.

"The rain hasn't been out for a long time. I remember that I went outside with Huang Ama when I was ignorant. The endless grassland there is really refreshing." Clear rain road.

I said happily, "Empress dowager, look, I haven't married yet, and I'm starting to miss my husband's grassland."

Qingyu was ashamed and scolded me. The Empress Dowager said happily, "No matter how you think about it, it will only be a few months. I don't just think about those scenery, but still miss people. Didn't the little boy praise the dance that he danced when he was sick last year? I think they are a match made in heaven, and the emperor gave them a good marriage this time.

"Grandma, Mu Nian can't forgive people. Why don't you help me?"

"What are you ashamed of? You are already the one who is going to marry."

These days, the people in Ningshou Palace are busy preparing for things to travel. If the Empress Dowager wants to go out, there are more things to bring. Now the temperature difference between day and night is big, and almost all the cotton wool from a single piece to winter should be taken. This time, the Empress Dowager only brought Rong'er by her side, but Qingyu brought me and Shumo.

On the day of the trip, the ten brothers came to see me and said that he would not follow him this time. He asked me to be more careful and gave me a large box of pastry shortbread, saying that although it was better outside, it was not as good as in the palace. These were all I liked and took them to quarrel.

"This is what the fourteenth master asked you to send." As soon as I saw this sweet pastry, I recognized it. Except for my aunt, only he knew that I like to eat sweet pastry and which alley I like to eat which master made sweet pastry.

Ah? Guess it. It's not my fault. I didn't say it. You guessed it yourself. The tenth master laughed.

"Master Ten, take it and return it to Master 14. I just want him not to think about it in the future. Everything is fine." I stuffed it back into his hand.

"Why do you need this? Everyone can see your thoughts and still think about the fourteenth brother. Why bother yourself?

"Please come back, Mu Nian knows what to do. There are still a lot of things to do. Mu Nian will leave first. I replied as soon as I said it.

Axing, it's not what I want to do. How I want you to hate your new blessing. You come to me desperately and love me at all costs, but I can't be so selfish. Neither of us is so selfish, so we carry too much that we can't hug.

The group of people left the palace magnificently, and the people along the street shouted long live. They couldn't help opening the curtain and looking at it several times. Shumo also joined in the fun, but it was the first time to see such a scene.

"Guge, sister, have you seen so many people? It's so dense and lively!"

"It's you who said you wanted to come out. You've been jumping up and down for a few days." Qingyu said.

Although the clear rain does not come out of the palace, after all, it is a royal style, and you should have seen a lot of big scenes. The ink book is from Jiangnan, and it is difficult for her to calm down with such a nature. It's just that she didn't have a chance to see the crowd of crowded trains during the Spring Festival, which was a sea of people. In the four years of college, I had to worry about train tickets and taking the train for a long time every holiday, so that I felt dizzy when I heard the word train.

It's just that it shouldn't be far from the suburbs of Beijing, but a group of people have walked for half a day. I don't like to take a car in the first place. The carriage swayed and made my stomach uncomfortable. Later, when I arrived at the prince's manor, my legs trembled and I couldn't get off the carriage.

"What's going on?" The thirteenth master came over and asked.

"Brother, I'm uncomfortable and weak, and I can't get off the carriage." Clear rain road.

"Don't worry, the thirteenth master. Let's arrange the matter of Long Live first. I'll just take a break."

"The prince and the fourth brother have arranged the emperor Ama and the empress dowager in front, and the others are also ready, but you haven't gone in yet."

"Na Gege and Shu Mo follow the thirteenth master in, otherwise the Empress Dowager will be worried. I'll get into the carriage and have a rest. I'll be there later.

"It's okay. Qingyu, you go with me first. I want the calligraphy to sort out all the things. We'll have dinner together later."

The thirteenth master led them away. I stayed in the car and took a sip of water, and then lay down to rest. This time, A Xing didn't come. I lifted the curtain and wandered in the figure of several brothers for a long time, but I didn't see him. Since Princess De told me not to see him that day, I haven't seen him for months, and he seems to be avoiding me. We are all cowards. We are afraid that we can't make decisions when we see each other's thoughts, and we are afraid that we will do something irrational by our own hearts.

But A Xing, I feel so uncomfortable now, my stomach is uncomfortable, and my heart is even more uncomfortable. In this small space, please allow me to cry freely. Please allow me to stop pretending. Please allow me to miss you.

Tears flowed through the corners of my eyes and into my hair, and I felt the sleeves of my arms wet.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted: "Is it uncomfortable?"
