Envy

Uncle Yu Qing spread the dynasty's sheepskin map on the table, and everyone was silent for a long time.

It is late spring, and the rainy night is a bit muggy.Uncle Yu Qing ordered someone to open the door and window.The coldness of spring is harsh, and it makes people shiver.

The last Luobei Gate in Huaizhong fell.The entire Luo family was destroyed, and no one survived.In the picture, only Menghua Palace and Xiqie Palace are not covered by small pebbles.Patriarch Menghua doesn't care about world affairs, so Mu Mi doesn't have to worry about Menghua Palace getting involved in sect disputes.It's just that since the young master passed away, Xiqi Palace has been taken over by the master of the young palace, Lingzhi.I don't know whether Xijigong will be wooed by Su Chuo.

Meng Tou carefully took out a picture, unfolded the thin rice paper, spread it on the parchment, pointed to a certain place and said: "From this picture, Ming Jue's private prison is here. It should be held here." Corpse people. This is the other courtyard of the disciples, and here, I guess, is the place where wild spirits are raised."

Most of the eyeliners that go to Mingjue are silent.

The villagers of Baixi Village became corpses locked up in Mingjue, and the wild spirit of Yongye was taken away along with the source of their mother.During these times, the world is peaceful, so calm that it makes people panic.People quietly wait in the dark for an opportunity to act, and people die silently.The fire started a prairie fire and burned all the way to the end of Huaibei, and it was about to burn to Zhao Linlai along the withered grass on the back of the great plain.

Elder Mu Mi was worried and couldn't sleep day and night, urging them to come up with a solution earlier.The impulsive elders asked them to go directly to Mingjue.But how to fight, this question made them choke again.If it fails, the innocent people in Xiaoyang will also suffer.

But they discussed until midnight, but they still couldn't come up with a reason.So let's go first.

Meng Tou took the picture and went out with his arms around Xue Ye's shoulders.Xue Yedao: "Brother Tou, I have always wanted to ask you, how did you get the internal construction map of Mingjue?"

Meng Tou glanced at him: "Young Master asked Miss Lingyi to give it to me before she died."

Xue Ye nodded thoughtfully, pursed his lips, and tapped his shoulder with a clenched fist: "Young Master, it was all because of you. Brother Tou, don't be sad. Everyone has their destiny."

A person came out of the rain curtain.The man was dressed in plain white clothes, holding an oil-paper umbrella, stepped up the steps and walked to the corridor.Put away the umbrella and stand beside Meng Tou.

Meng Tou said, "Don't come next time. It's getting late at night."

Xue Ye thought, if you look at it from a distance, Fei Yu really looks like Yan Zhaohan.

Meng Tou stretched out his hand to wrap Fei Yu's shoulder, letting him lean in so as not to get wet by the rain, and then took the umbrella from his hand.After Meng Tou finished these, he looked at Xue Ye again and asked, "Where did I just say?"

"Ling...Miss Lingzhi?"

Meng Tou stared straight at Xue Ye without saying a word, which made his heart shudder.

He touched his face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Meng Tou said, "Are you short of a wife?"

"what?"

……

When Lingzhi received the marriage proposal, she was a little surprised but not too surprised.

In the past few months, Jiang Tong has visited Xiqie Palace many times, proposing marriage both openly and secretly, saying that it is not easy for her to support the entire Xiqie Palace by a girl's family to take care of her.

She silently thought, when the young master was seriously ill, the second young master of the Jiang family came to visit him once, and he still wanted to ask for love at night.After Shaojun passed away, she never saw him at the funeral banquet in Lizhou.She hadn't seen him even among the crying and pretending people.

Shaojun is playing tricks on him.She also couldn't make an appearance of sincerity and sincerity, she always declined and remained unwavering.

After receiving Meng Tou's handwritten letter, she sat silently in the yard all afternoon. When night fell, she wrote a reply letter, stuffed it into the bamboo tube hanging from the carrier pigeon's feet, opened the window and let the pigeon fly out.

Shaojun hoped that she would find a home.

In other words, Shaojun hoped that she would help Mu Mi.

Moreover, the empty palace space is too cold and lonely.In the past when Shaojun left, there were still a group of playful and playful girls and boys in the palace.Later, Shaojun wanted to protect them and sent them to Jishantang to live, and then Shaojun also left.

She doesn't know how to embroider a wedding dress, so she hired the most skillful embroiderer at the foot of the mountain.Xiu Niang has flowers between her eyebrows, her face is white and round, with beautiful tips and double chins.The embroiderer said: "Girl, you have to embroider the wedding dress by yourself. You can embroider flowers or phoenixes. You choose, and I will teach you how to embroider."

Lingzhi didn't know why, when she saw that gentle embroiderer and heard her gentle words, she also silently agreed.Sitting under the locust tree in the yard every day, waiting for the embroiderer to teach her embroidery.

Xiu Niang asked: "Girl, how far did you marry?"

With the red wedding gown on her lap, Lingzhi took out her needle and thread, and said, "Go to Huaibei."

"Huaibei is a bit far away. You may miss your mother's family in the future." Xiu Niang squinted and smiled, "Is the married man looking good?"

Lingzhi shook her head: "I don't know."

"Is your temper good?"

Lingzhi shook his head.

Xiu Niang was silent for a while, and said: "Girl, don't be afraid, as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work. Life is ordinary, how can you live it?"

She has always been good at learning, but she lacks a little talent in embroidery, and she managed to embroider two golden silk peonies on the sleeves near the wedding.Therefore, the wedding dress looks very simple.

But Xiuniang said: "Don't be afraid, the girl's parents are handsome, and she looks good in whatever she wears. Your husband will be happy."

She is not happy yet.

She has no relatives.Her father's younger brother, Shi Qi's uncle in the palace, gave her a golden hairpin.His back was already bent, his hair was gray, and he was blind in one eye.He said, "Ling'er is healthy."

When Patriarch Menghua came, he brought several boxes of silk and satin and jewellery, and said he would make her a dowry.She had been to the ancestral hall in the palace, saw Zhenjun Li Hua's tablet, and asked Lingzhi to take the tablet.When she left, she fell in love with a little girl in the palace, that was Xia Houyao who called Shaojun "Brother Yan".

Patriarch Menghua said that she had an eye for Yaoyao and wanted to bring her back to Menghua Palace to raise her.

Lingzhi looked at Yaoyao quietly, and silently asked her what she thought.

Yaoyao glanced at Lingyan, then turned her head to look at the Xiqi Palace that was about to be covered in dust, and finally stood beside Patriarch Menghua silently.

On the second day after Patriarch Menghua took Yaoyao away, Lingzhi put on her wedding dress and put on red makeup in front of the mirror.Her plain fingers were stained with rouge, and she accidentally stained her forehead when she was thrushing her eyebrows.She turned her head sideways, approached the bronze mirror, and wiped off the rouge from her forehead.

She saw another figure in the mirror.The man was also dressed in red, leaning against the bead curtain and looking at her, then walked towards her and stood behind her.

Lingzhi carefully drew her eyebrows, pursed her lips, put down her eyebrow pencil and said, "I'm leaving now, Bo Ji."

Bo Ji sneered and said: "You don't want to marry Mingjue, you don't want to marry Young Master Jiang. Now because of Shaojun's words, you are willing to marry a stranger." She put one hand on the dressing table , looked at the face of Lingzhi in the bronze mirror and said with a smile: "You are living a pathetic life."

"You have been guarding the palace for so many years, and you have lived for him. If you admired him, you shouldn't let him waver at the beginning, and you shouldn't let him go back to Muyu. You killed him. This is the end of the matter , you can’t blame anyone.”

She stood up slowly and turned around.She heard a very slow, very small sound behind her.

The cold sharp knife plunged into her body from behind.She suddenly opened her eyes wide, looked back along that arm, and saw Lingzhi's surprisingly calm face.

"Shaojun has a deep affection for me. I think you will miss the friendship between me and Shaojun."

Before Bo Ji fell down, she heard Lingzhi say: "And, each other."
