A glance at the spring breeze

When Yin Jian arrived in Lin'an, it happened to be the day before Qingming.Probably in order to welcome this festival of paying homage to the dead, a misty drizzle began to fall from the sky.

It should be a spring day full of flowers and trees, but the flowers and trees by the West Lake were completely reborn by the rain, and the petals fell on the ground with the raindrops. After one night, there were more branches Some green colors stained with morning dew.

The next day, Yin Jian was awakened by birdsong. He got up and glanced out of the window, and suddenly saw two swallows circling and chirping in the drizzle under the dark and low sky.

He suddenly thought of a poem.

The fallen flowers are independent, and the little swifts □□.

Yin Qian pulled out a light blue jade pendant, and said to Bao Gong beside him: "Take this jade pendant, go to the market to exchange for three mung bean dumplings, and put them in a cloth bag."

Eunuch Bao took the jade pendant tremblingly, feeling uneasy: let alone three mung bean dumplings, even three boxes of mung bean dumplings, this jade pendant can be exchanged.

Although you are not joking, there is a possibility that you may be wrong if you are not sure.

Bao Gong just waited for His Majesty to change his words, but what His Majesty said next was: "I want sesame stuffing, go quickly."

"Yes Yes……"

Eunuch Bao's mind can't turn a corner, and his mind is not as quick as other slaves. If other eunuchs, they might suppress the jade pendant given by His Majesty and buy it with their own broken silver.

When the old woman in the pastry shop saw the jade pendant brought by Mr. Bao, she burst into a smile. She took out three freshly made mung bean dumplings and muttered for a while: "It's been almost 30 years. , I can meet this little fool again."

Eunuch Bao was suddenly scolded, his eyes widened and he said, "What did you say!"

The mother-in-law in the pastry shop quickly put the jade pendant into her arms, fearing that the person in front of her would snatch it back: "Oh, sir, don't be angry, I didn't say anything just now, old lady...here, this is wrapped in a cloth bag." The three mung bean dumplings in the bag, you ordered. It’s raining and the road is slippery, so be careful on the road.”

Mr. Bao took it with one hand angrily, then held up the paper umbrella and walked to the palace.

Just as he was about to enter the gate, he was stopped by a guard who said, "Your Majesty is waiting for Eunuch by the lake."

……

Yin Xun sat by the West Lake, looking at the misty and rainy scene in front of him.

The sky was gloomy, and a flower petal of Er Yuelan floated from nowhere by the lake... The rich purple overlapped with the rippling water of the lake, lingering in front of Yin Xun, floating sporadically on the water .

Yin Jian sat alone in the drizzle, and the guard next to him wanted to hold an umbrella for him, but he refused.

In his arms, he was holding the three mung bean dumplings that Eunuch Bao had just bought, at this moment he took out one and threw it into the lake.

With a "plop", water splashed on the lake, and Er Yuelan was scattered under his feet.

"You said you like mung bean dumplings stuffed with sesame seeds, so I bought three of them and exchanged them with jade pendants."

He took out the second one and looked up at the front.

"Alan, is it delicious? I'll give you another one."

There was another "plop".

This time the splash was bigger.

"This year is the sixth year."

A gentle and smooth spring breeze came slowly from the south, and Yin Jian seemed to smell the clear and sweet fragrance of peach blossoms.

looming.

"Could it be...you really stayed in the vast ocean with Wu County."

Yin Jian clenched the third dumpling in his hand.

"That time when I hid behind a tree, I heard you singing, and secretly picked up your fan... Ah Lan, you won't blame me, will you?"

He raised his arm and was about to throw the last dumpling forward when he suddenly felt his eyes go dark.

Yin Jian raised his other hand, reached for his eyes, and sure enough touched the back of someone's hand.

Who is so daring to cover his eyes?

No, this hand—

The looming fragrance of peach blossoms immediately intensified several times, with a hint of moist and fresh breath, as if someone picked a peach blossom from the rain and put it on the tip of his nose——

It was clear that the drizzle was still falling just now, but now he suddenly couldn't feel it.

No raindrops fell on his forehead.

"Your Majesty." He heard someone say behind him, "I don't blame you."

Yin Jian couldn't sit still anymore.

He stood up abruptly, and the umbrella that was supporting his head fell down, rolling over and over on the ground twice.

Standing in front of him was a man with a calm face.

Between his brows and eyes, it seemed that the softest moonlight under the night sky was held.

"you……"

Yin Jian grabbed the last dumpling with one hand, and slowly brushed the opponent's face with the other hand.

His face was a little wet from the raindrops.

"You... are the same as you were six years ago."

The person in front of him didn't seem to have changed much, it was exactly the same as when the two separated six years ago.

In the pair of light brown eyes, there were two bright and transparent water lights, making waves one after another.

Like the water surface of the West Lake under a light rain.

Yin Jian threw the dumpling aside and immediately hugged him. After a long time, he asked, "Where have you been all these years?"

"I—um... Your Majesty."

"Needless to say."

Yin Jian carried him on his shoulders and walked towards the palace.

"Let's... go back and have a good chat."

……

At this time, an open umbrella and a green dumpling lay by the lake.

And, a blooming peach branch.

……

When Ruan Lan got up at night, it was still raining outside the window.

"Eunuch Bao." He called softly.

Eunuch Bao had been waiting for a long time, and immediately rushed in from the door. He saw the adult inside put down his sleeves... There was a tooth mark on his white arm.

Judging from the appearance, it is estimated that it was bitten today.

"Master Ruan, what are your orders?" Eunuch Bao bent over, added the other person's last name uncertainly, and then frowned, "No, my lord, how do you know that this slave belongs to Eunuch Bao?"

Ruan Lan laughed, but did not answer Eunuch Bao's question, but asked, "Where did your majesty go?"

Baogong said: "Your Majesty is very excited now, and is now practicing martial arts outside."

"But it's still raining outside." Ruan Lan immediately stood up and walked out the door, "I...I'll go find him."

At this moment, Yin Jian pushed the door open from the outside one step ahead of him. Ruan Lan didn't stop, and bumped into Yin Jian's arms all at once.

Eunuch Bao blushed instantly, retreated wisely, closed the door, and finally heard His Majesty the Emperor say one last sentence: "It's only been a few hours... Ah Lan, are you going to throw yourself into your arms again?"

Yin Jian led Ruan Lan to sit at the table and poured a cup of tea for Ruan Lan.

"Come over here and have a good chat with me. Where have you been all these years, Alan?...Why hasn't your appearance changed at all?"

But Yin Zhan was different, apart from the change in his face, Yin Zhan was able to find a little white silk between his hair.

Ruan Lan pointed her right hand finger on the table, lowered her eyes, and spoke eloquently.

"After that day, I sank into the bottom of the sea together with Zhang Yushen. My soul was supposed to enter reincarnation, but was stopped by Daoist Xuan Mo."

"He told me that he was not a Daoist at first, nor was he called Xuanmo. Daoist Xuanmo was his title on the land of Shenzhou. He knew that the people of Shenzhou believed in Taoism, so he would become the god most believed by the people of Shenzhou. In Liuchi, people call him Apusu; in Tianzhu, people call him Buddha; in the farther west, people worship him as a god."

"He then said something I hadn't heard before—he said that he was wandering in various worlds, and he was as insubstantial as rhinoceros dust. People in the world regard him as the most trusted god in their hearts, who can save the common people in the world—but he, There is no way to save the unfortunate. He can only watch quietly, unable to change anyone's fate, because his duty is to maintain the order of the world. All the "gods" in the world are for people to understand the so-called " "Order" is formed by the illusion of thousands of thoughts. "

"He shouldn't have interfered with the lives of the world, until one day, Xichen set foot on the land of China."

"Xi Chen was originally wandering in various worlds, and he could only watch quietly from the sidelines—he is the other side of order, the darkest and most sinful side, and he also has many identities in different worlds, people are afraid of it, But they forget that malice comes from their own hearts. If there is no Xichen, his subordinates——Yin Cheng may still kill a family of nine people for the sake of imperial power; Chen Chuiling may still slaughter an entire county because of jealousy and Zhang Yushen, may still want to kill all the innocent people in the imperial city because of the desire for revenge."

"Maybe the specific reasons will be different, and maybe the specific murderers will be different, but the evil thoughts that flow from their hearts will not change. For Xi Chen, he should be the one who maintains the entire "order". The mistake is to intervene in the operation of order.The Taoist priest said that the rhinoceros dust disturbed the world under His Majesty's control.Therefore, in order to make up for His Majesty, and to repay His Majesty's ribs for their contribution to maintaining the world order, he rescued me from the bottom of the sea, and let a wisp of my soul attach to Spring Wind Scroll..."

When Yin Jian heard this, he suddenly said: "So these few years, you have stayed with me in the palace?"

That is to say... In fact, whenever he stops in front of the spring wind scroll in the imperial study, he can see Ruan Lan.

Ruan Lan nodded: "I fell asleep on the spring wind for five full years, and when I woke up in the sixth year, I learned that His Majesty had gone south to Lin'an, so I rushed here non-stop."

It turned out to be the case.

At this time, Yin Jian grasped Ruan Lan's hand, and then tightened his fingers a little: "Then after today...you won't leave again."

Ruan Lan shook her head and said, "I've already died once."

Yin Jian looked at him.

The candlelight in Ruan Lan's eyes flickered slightly, her expression clear.

"Your Majesty, I will not go again."

……

In the next few years of Qingming, whenever it rained lightly, Eunuch Bao would think of the misty West Lake and the scene of His Majesty sitting by the lake throwing green dumplings into the water in despair.

In a few years, His Majesty abdicated to the Crown Prince and became the Supreme Emperor.

As a result, within a few years of being the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty disappeared.

Disappeared together was Lord Ruan Lan who usually followed His Majesty.

As for where they went, no one seems to know.

But the well-known Spring Wind Scroll is still in the imperial study.

One day, when Eunuch Bao was cleaning the dust in the imperial study, he saw this spring breeze.

Huh... Why are there two little people holding hands on this scroll that depicts the ancient fairyland?The appearance is still lifelike.

Eunuch Bao thought, it must have been added by Mr. Ruan, who is a superb painter.

I hope that His Majesty and Lord Ruan can also find a fairyland-like paradise and live in peace, and no outsiders will disturb them from now on.

"Father Bao!"

A cry interrupted Eunuch Bao's thoughts.

——It turned out that the new emperor Yin Xuan was calling him.

"Your Majesty, the slave will come immediately!"

Eunuch Bao hurriedly opened the door and ran outside.

At this moment, Chunfengjuan was hung in the deserted imperial study room, and there was a slight change.

The white and flawless floating clouds on the picture scroll began to float slowly, and the spring-like vegetation on Jiagong Mountain also became shining, surrounded by flowing streams.And the colorful falling flowers blowing down from the hillside, drifting away with the stream.

The scenery is winding and beautiful.

A glance at it will give people a feeling of spring breeze.

it's for--

A glance at the spring breeze.

The author has something to say:

Flowers are over.

This is the first full-length novel I've ever written, and I'm so happy! !Thanks to Yang Shanyu who has been leaving me a message, the fish oil classmate who voted for me eight or nine thunders (seems to have abandoned the article halfway haha), and a few readers who have been clicking in or may have clicked wrong, thank you You are always with me.

At the beginning of this article, my estimate was [-] words, because at the beginning I just wanted to write a clichéd story, and the setting and plot were also very clichéd. This is not only reflected in the first [-] words of this article, but also It is reflected in some of the plots that were originally thought of later, such as attacking amnesia and so on...

Before Xiaoshou escaped from the palace, I began to want to add some fantasy elements to add some freshness to the whole story, and even later I would choose to overthrow the plot written in the first [-] words, such as Concubine Wei, Princess, The noble concubine, as well as Eunuch Yu and Manager Zhang, but the overthrown plot of the setting is also continued as a foreshadowing, I hope readers will not find it abrupt.

Generally speaking, I feel that the first half of the whole article is more chaotic than the second half, and the style of the previous writing is not well grasped. Although I have revised it two or three times later, it is still not as good as finishing it in one go.If you can see this paragraph of text, it means that it is really difficult for you to read it, thank you very much! !

Although it has been emphasized that this article is empty, I still want to say that the settings of dynasties, geography, customs (and Newton's light work that pissed off Newton) in this article cannot stand the test, and it is purely my fault.In addition, if the religious views and values ​​conveyed in this article conflict with readers, I can only say that I am really sorry...

Alright, that’s all for now, I might write a parallel space story about the two father-in-laws when I have time.I will also write a special episode of Xichen, explaining clearly one or two doubtful points in the main text that are too late to explain. (For example, what was Xiaogong’s blood soaked in the needle used for at the beginning)

thank you all! !wave!
