night snow full of clear branches

Su Yan and I sat at the same table, sitting and recalling what he said before, thinking about something else, in fact, you didn't miss me, and I didn't miss you either. In the world, fate is not only about marriage.

Before the dinner was half over, I sneaked out of the banquet and sneaked to the back of the side hall to see Wei Yu practicing.

"You are diligent again." Although I felt that I was still a little behind.

Wei Yu retracted her sword and sheathed it, and said: "Stop joking, no matter how diligent you are, you are still inferior to you."

"Yes, I think so too." After finishing speaking, Wei Yu sneered twice, and said, "You really have never been humble."

"It's better not to be humble when you have strength."

"Don't be so crazy all the time, it's easy to suffer." Wei Yu tried to persuade me with kind words, but I was not very relieved. She said that although the emperor usually treats me with tolerance, but there are unpredictable things in the sky, and no one can predict what will happen next.

It's not that I don't understand what she said, it's just that I can think about it for a while.

"Qing Zhi, you should hurry back to the main hall, it will be bad if the emperor finds out." Wei Yu kindly reminded.

"I know, I know." I knew I should bring Su Yan out with me. I would rather sit outside in a daze than go back to the hall to listen to the lullaby.

Wei Yu's good words, I often go in one ear and out the other, and this time too, I didn't return to the main hall until after the banquet was over.

Seeing me come back, Weixue said, "I have to consider changing your job?"

"What?" My intuition told me that nothing good would happen.

"How about the laundry room?"

"No, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." She was dissatisfied with me leaving the palace and disappearing for no reason. Recently, she started to be strict with me, which made me very uncomfortable.

"You've been too sloppy lately, you can't do without some punishment." Wei Xue's attitude was very firm, so I had to wait with a gray face, but I didn't listen to her after waiting for a long time.

As soon as I looked up and met her mysterious smile, she seemed to have an idea and thought of a brilliant idea.

She said: "Qing Zhi, don't you usually not like to read books? This time, I will punish you to go to the library, search for all the books with the word "xue" in them, and record which page of the book they are in."

The one with the word "snow"... I was stunned for a long time before I realized what a huge project this would be!

Your Majesty, you can't do this to me. "When I finish searching, the Year of the Monkey will be gone."

Wei Xue said: "It's okay, I can wait slowly."

That... that... I clenched my fists, but I didn't rush to hit her like when I was young, not only because she is Your Majesty.

When I dawdled and turned around to go to Zangshu Pavilion, the person behind said again: "But don't be too slow, you only have one month."

The loosened fist was clenched again, and I began to think that if I hit her, would I be hacked to death by the escort or would I be protruded from the encirclement.

Xuexuexuexuexue... I read this word every day, wandering in the library like a wandering ghost.The female officer in Zangshuge helped me find it at first, but she didn't bother to help after a long time. I looked up, and there were three floors of books!

"Xuexuexue..." From the day I was looking for the book, all I could think of was this word, uh, no, besides this word, there was Wei Xue's face.

"If you continue to read like this, you're going to be paralyzed." Wei Yu looked at me like a madman.

I really wanted to cry without tears, and said: "I also feel that I am about to fall into a demon." Because I look for the word "xue" every day, no matter day or night, my mind is full of Weixue, every movement of her, every slight His facial expression, every word...all occupy my thoughts like a demon.

Half a month later, I just finished looking for books on the first floor, looking at the remaining two floors, I really wanted to raise a knife to Wei Xue and beg her to kill me quickly.

Su Yan came to the palace to look for me, and was terrified by how I was serious about flipping through the pages of the book. He quickly touched my forehead and asked, "Qingzhi, are you not sick?"

"You came just in time, let's go together!" I looked at Su Yan with a wicked smile. Haven't read half of the book yet.

After hearing my tragic experience, Su Yan couldn't help sighing: The emperor is really sick.

Su Yan gave me an idea, "Qingzhi, I thought of a way. There are so many books in Zangshuge, why don't you just find some and write them?" I thought it made sense when I heard it, but where do I start when I write casually? After all, I haven't read many books. What if I happen to write a book that Wei Xue knows very well.

The two discussed for a long time, and finally decided to cut corners and pick out some books from the third floor and write them down.

"Do you think this is really a good job?" When the one-month deadline came, I held a stack of thick papers and hesitated.

Su Yan assures me that he will be able to do business, because he does not believe that Wei Xue will read all the books in Zangshuge, even if he has finished reading, he will not remember them all. "These bibliographies are all carefully selected by me."

Choose carefully, because of this sentence, I believed Su Yan, but in the end I came out of Wuxue's study in a disheveled state.

"Where is Su Yan!" I rushed back to the library to look for someone, but was told that he had left the palace.

Thinking about it, he also felt that this plan was inappropriate, so he simply slipped away, it was really not righteous enough.

At that time, Wei Xue flipped through the pile of papers, and asked, "Tell me, who gave you a bad idea to fool me?"

"What are you talking about?" I tried to pretend not to understand, but failed.

Weixue threw the stack of papers into the brazier and burned it, and also fined me half a year's salary.

This money is spent in vain... I said: "Your Majesty, you should send me to the washing room!" Although the maids in the washing room are tired, it is better than the situation where I am now in a state of being frightened and accompanying the king like a tiger.

"I don't want you to go now." She was as fickle as ever.

If you don't go, don't go, but when I think of my pile of white money, my heart hurts terribly.Weixue still had another trick, and said: "Speaking of which, if you stay in the palace all day, you won't spend any money, and it's useless to ask for those salaries."

"So are you planning to stop paying me salary?" I really might as well go to wash the room.

"Yes."

I believe that there has never been such a stingy emperor in the history of Xuan Kingdom. Seeing that she is quite generous in rewarding ministers and court ladies, she is stingy with me?This is really a great injustice.

I originally wanted to save some money so that I would need it when I go out of the palace in the future, but now it seems that this is a slightly difficult task, because usually Wei Xue would not even give me a reward.

"Your Majesty, this is not good. Although I don't need any money, but..." This is very unfair, and I am very unhappy.

"But what?" Wei Xue smiled, happy to hear my nonsense.

"But I still use it when I go out of the palace occasionally."

Unexpectedly, Wei Xue said: "You can use the money you used to have, I don't believe you haven't saved any of it." It's a pity that Wei Xue didn't go into business. With such a good calculation, I have no choice but to consider taking bribes everywhere in the future.

Later, I found Su Yan and complained, almost hitting him to vent my anger.

"I've said countless times that I was wrong, so just calm down for a while!" Seeing my expression of headache, Su Yan considered whether to give me some money.

"How do you let me stop? I will be an unpaid coolie in the future."

"At worst, I will send you money every month in the future."

"Where did you get so much money?" Su Yan is a son of an official, I believe he has a little money, but I still don't believe it if he does it every month.

"I don't have any money, but my third prince has it." He said with a smug face, I rejected the proposal, thinking that if I indirectly took money from the third prince, I would easily become a traitor in Litong .

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Wan Tuzhuo left the capital?" It's been more than half a month since the celebration, but Wan Tuzhuo's team is still stranded in the capital, and I don't know why.

"Because I want to stay in the capital for a while." After returning from Anguo, Su Yan's whole body was like those favored concubines in the harem, his tail was almost raised to the sky.

"Stop coming! Is there really no other purpose?"

Su Yan told me that the reason why he likes Wan Tuzhuo is because he is not corrupted by fame and wealth. Since he said so, I will not think about anything else.

Under Su Yan's leadership, I quickly became friends with Wan Chengzhuo. I have to say that his personality is very to my liking, and it feels like I have known each other for several years in just a few days.

When Wan Chengzhuo and Su Yan left the capital, Su Yan secretly told me that if one day I wanted to leave the capital but could not, I could ask the third prince for help.After seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, they decided to settle some affairs in the Anguo Palace, and then went away to live in seclusion.

Listening to the future picture that Su Yan described to me, I was fascinated, thinking that it was the best story I had heard in those years.

"When you find a good place, you must write to me." Saying goodbye to Su Yan and Wan Chengzhuo, I turned around and faced the vast imperial city, full of loneliness.

Returning to the palace, she walked to Wei Xue's side, she continued to read with her head down, without looking up, she asked, "Reluctant?"

"A little bit."

Probably hearing the sadness in my voice, Wei Xue pulled me to sit down and leaned on my shoulder, "Qing Zhi, I will let you find them in the future, but now is not the time.

"In the future?" I didn't understand the meaning of Wei Xue's words until I was old, but it was very late at that time.

"Well, in the future, you can wait."

"Waiting for what?" I don't understand.

Wei Xue sat up straight, didn't speak any more, and continued to read her book. I sat quietly beside her, and I didn't feel that time was passing slowly.It wasn't until I woke up beside her again that I realized that I had forgotten how many days and months I had spent with her like this.

Not long after Su Yan left the capital, Wei Yu also got married. She married a well-known knight-errant in Jianghu. Wei Xue said they were a good match.

I asked Wei Yu, "How does it feel after getting married?" She said that you can find out after trying, but the emperor probably won't be happy.

I laughed, even you know this, you really deserve to be the emperor's confidant...
