night snow full of clear branches

Wei Yu accepted a long sandalwood box and said thank you to the person who came.

I went forward, wanting to open the box to see what it was, Xiao Yu immediately took two steps forward holding the wooden box. "This is for the emperor."

"What treasure can't be made?"

"Something more precious than a treasure." Xiao Yu carried the box to the front hall, and I followed, wanting to see what it was.

Weixue took the box, and put it carefully on the case as if she had found a treasure. "Finally found."

"Wei Yu, hurry up and get Zhang Qin." Wei Xue opened the box, and it turned out to be a broken grained Qin.

It was a Fuxi-style violin. It looked old, and Wei Xue cherished it so much, so it must not be an ordinary violin.

It's just piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can barely play some chess, but I don't know anything else, so I can't find out what is so strange about this piano for a while.

Wei Yu brought a court lady to bring the piano table, Wei Xue put the piano on and stroked it for a long time.

I couldn't help asking: "What's so special about this piano?"

"This is cherished by my mother and concubine." When Wei Xue said this, the shadow of Concubine Zhuang appeared in front of her eyes. She had seen her play this piano before, but later life forced her to pawn the piano.

"Later we went back to that pawnshop to look for it, but we didn't know that the pawnshop was closed, so we couldn't find it after searching for many years." Wei Yu added.

Wei Xue suddenly remembered, "Then how did you find it this time?"

"Thanks to Mrs. Shi, the chief minister of the prime minister's residence, the piano was found in Mrs. Chang Shi's hands."

"Very good." Wei Xue kept nodding her head, and the maid moved a stool for her to sit beside the piano table.

I only know that Weixue's hands can kill people and write, but I don't know that she can also play the qin. The sound of the qin flowing from her fingers is clearer and smoother, making people forget the world.

This situation is only suitable for listening quietly.

At some point, Xiao Yu took out a flute from somewhere, and played it in harmony with the sound of the piano.

The imperial palace, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became a little more angry and leisurely.

At the end of the song, I couldn't help applauding.Wei Xue asked: "Can Qing Zhi also play?"

I stuck out my tongue and said, "Qing Zhi will only take apart the piano."

"Haha, I don't think you will either."

"Such elegant things don't fit my temperament." I still found a reason for this.

"Do you still want to hear it?" Weixue asked, it seems that our emperor is in a good mood today, I nodded quickly, and the emperor played the piano for me personally, oh, no one will believe me when I say it.

"Then sit next to me."

I moved over with the stool, Wei Xue and Wei Yu exchanged glances, and the next song started again.

This time, the sound of the flute started first, and soon the sound of the qin also sounded, first slowly, but urgently, sometimes softly and sometimes heavy.My eyes wandered between Wei Xue's fingers, and I felt that it was very strange, and then I looked up along the arms, and Wei Xue's concentrating playing was particularly attractive.

I looked at the profile face in front of me, from the pinna, temples, chin, and eyelashes carefully. The sound of the music was like a spell, pulling me into a painting. In the painting, Wei Xue was standing in the rivers and mountains. Above it, step on the glow of the morning glow, and stand on the sun, the moon and the stars.

"Are you planning to let me hold you to sleep for a while?" Wei Xue put her arms around my shoulders.

Only then did I realize that I, immersed in the music, had leaned on Wei Xue's shoulder at some point, so I quickly sat up straight.

Wei Yu pursed her lips and smiled, and exited the door.

"Does it sound good?"

"It sounds so good, I'm bewitched." I twitched the corners of my mouth, feeling that I was really bewitched.

"Haha, after that, I will play a few more times when I have time, and you will slowly get rid of the evil."

I have never heard such a beautiful sound when I heard Si Yong playing the piano before, and I couldn't help reaching out to the strings. Many years ago, Si Yong taught me Gongshangjiao Zhengyu, but I didn't learn it after all.

"Put your hands here, press your fingers here..." Wei Xue took my hand and began to teach me, but soon I lost my patience. "Don't study, it's so complicated."

"You don't need to learn, if you really want to listen, do it well, and I'll play it for you." Wei Xue looked at me with a gentle look, which she often used recently, which is really in danger of drowning.

"Then do I need to pay your wages?" I know that there is no shortage of money in the dignified place, but based on experience, there is no free lunch in the world.

"Salary? You can't afford my salary." The emperor is really expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. "But you don't need to pay, you just need to be obedient and obedient." It was a kind of drowning tenderness, and I suddenly felt my scalp tingling, which was weird.

One day, Wei Xue decided to leave the palace after reading a secret report.

"Your majesty, you really want to go out, in case you encounter any danger—" I don't know what the big event is, it's worth her to go in person, could it be related to An Guo?

"Isn't there still you?" Wei Xue believed in my appearance, but when he set off, he brought a few other masters with him.

Wei Yu stayed in the palace to deal with the ministers for the time being, because this time going out was a secret, Wei Xue said to the public that she was going to retreat and fast, so when I left the palace, I was the one who drove the carriage in front through the side door of the palace.

The carriage traveled for half a day, and when it was about to reach the ground, the driver of the horse replaced another guard, Wei Xue let me sit in the carriage, and told me something.

It turned out that Wan Tengyuan, Prince of Anguo, came to Yidi a month ago, presumably to meet someone important.Sneaking into the territory of Xuan Kingdom for no reason, if it is not for some important things, it is definitely not worth taking the risk.

"What does the emperor think Wan Qiyuan is here for?"

"We want the military situation of Xuanguo." Wei Xue pointed out without hesitation. "Concubine Jin's elder brother has always wanted to kill me, so he wanted to unite with the people of Anguo to bring me down. It's a pity, it's too presumptuous."

So calm and confident, Fang is that Wei Xue standing in the hall.

"Concubine Jin's elder brother? You mean Lord Changshi Qiu Wenhao?" I remembered that Wei Yu had just recovered Concubine Zhuang's piano from him not long ago.

"Do you still remember that violin? There was poison on the strings, but I quietly wiped it away." Master Chang Shi did not know where Wei Xue was looking for that violin, so he did everything possible to find it. , but to put Weixue to death.

I asked: "Such a blatant poisoning? Is he not afraid of being found out?" In my impression, Qiu Wenhao has always been careful, and would do such an obvious assassination?

Wei Xue shook her head. "He doesn't care whether he is found out, or even whether he will die, he just wants me to pay for it."

Brother and sister really love each other deeply, and they risked their lives to avenge Concubine Jin.I thought about it, and found that this is actually the most direct method. Once Weixue died of poisoning, the country was left without a master, and the government was chaotic, it would not be easy for him to deal with the aftermath.

Even if the poisoning failed and Wei Xue wanted to investigate, he would just pretend that he didn't know about it, at most he would find a scapegoat.

"Could it be that Wan Tengyuan came to Yin this time to see Qiu Changshi?"

Weixue nodded. When she killed Concubine Jin, she was ready to repay her grievances. She was too confident, so she was never afraid of these things. She just waited for the right time to continue cutting grass and roots.

Wei Xue deliberately let Qiu Wenhao know about the matter of coming to Yidi.The matter of poisoning the zither failed, and the Holy One had such a good opportunity to go out, he would definitely attack again, and Weixue waited for him to send someone to kill her, and then followed the vine to lure Wan Qiyuan, so as to catch them all.

"Isn't this too risky?" I was worried that if the other party brought more people than us and had higher martial arts.

"Are you worried about me? Or are you not confident in yourself?"

"It's all right." After all, if she has something wrong here, it's hard for me to forgive myself. Out of responsibility and some personal feelings, I feel more or less reluctant to get along with her for a long time.

"With you here, I'll be fine." She was still so firm, which made me feel even more stressed.

"It's almost blurry." Wei Xue's gaze suddenly became like a cold arrow in the night, full of pride that victory was in sight before the move.

Soon, the sound of guards drawing their swords out of their sheaths sounded outside the carriage, and I realized that it was the assassins who had arrived, and they had to settle the matter before Wei Xue arrived at Yidi, otherwise as long as our party entered the palace Everything becomes troublesome.

Listening to the sound, I felt that there were at least ten people coming outside, with clanging swords, and Wei Xue was still calm, as if everything outside had nothing to do with her.

When it was estimated that it was about to end, Wei Xue leaned out, killed the remaining three people with a few poisonous needles, and left one alive, knocked unconscious and thrown into the carriage to take away.

The guard said: "Your Majesty, let him be handed over to us, and it won't be safe to put him in your carriage if he wakes up."

"He alone can't do anything to me, I'll wait for him to wake up and ask something." This is the rhythm of Wei Xue wanting to interrogate himself.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and I have already been able to run since then, so I didn't recognize him for a while.

"Sister, who are you looking for?" Xiao Congri stood in the yard and stared blankly at me, her big eyes flickering, she was really cute.

"Guess who I'm looking for?" I knelt down to be level with him, looked at his appearance, and roughly guessed who it was.

"Master Mu, the lord will be here soon. I have packed the room, please come with me." The butler was talking back and forth, and I nodded and stood up.

As usual, Wei Xue and I live in the same room.

Just after moving things, Xunyang and Wangfei came. "Just now, some important matters were missed, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Wei Xue waved her hand, not caring.

I saw Cong Ri followed him in, and ran to talk to him, this little brat ignored me and was a little cold.

"It's rare to come here once, Qing Zhi, you can take him out to play, I'll talk to Brother Huang about something." As soon as Wei Xue opened her mouth, Wang Hao also came out.

"Aren't you going to be four years old?" I asked the princess, she nodded, and told me something about this child, saying that he never liked to make trouble or cry, and he was not clingy, unlike ordinary children.

"Speaking of which, I chose your name?" I pinched Cong Ri's doughy face, and he tried to push me away with his little paws a little unhappy.

"I heard that you are now the emperor's guard. I thought you wouldn't like to do this with your temperament." The princess doesn't have much contact with me, but she does have insight into people.

"The world is unpredictable, who knows, I didn't expect it." Looking at the past again, I found that I was still a happy child.
