night snow full of clear branches

"I'm done washing, you go out first." I thought that I would be embarrassed to stand up from the bathtub naked like this, so I said so.

"Why? Are you still shy?" She seemed amused.

Theoretically speaking, everyone is a woman, so it’s okay to look naked, but ever since my body began to develop, I have always avoided these contacts intentionally or unintentionally.

"Anyway, why don't you go out." I seemed to hear the coquettish tone in my words.

"I don't want to go, I want to see if you are going to wrinkle in the water?"

What did I say, Liang Weixue is such a hateful person, the more you don't like something, the more she wants to do it.

I rolled my eyelids, and stood up from the tub under her intense gaze.

She just sat beside me quietly like that, watching me come out of the water, wipe my body again, and take my clothes again, the whole room was suddenly silent even the air.

You can look at it however you like, my embarrassment was quickly covered up by my carelessness, after I got dressed, I realized that Weixue seemed to be in a trance.

"Go out! If you haven't seen enough, I'll show you off again." Thinking about it, only absurd people like me can say it.

Wei Xue chuckled and said, "If I were a man, would you still say such things?"

I haven't thought about this question, so I won't answer it.

"When the sun is just right, let's go for a walk in the yard, and let's dry our hair." I looked at Wei Xue's wet hair and said.

Wei Xue understood, and walked out the door.

Maybe the sun was just right at that time, and she was like a fairy in a painting. I added another scroll to my life, and it unfolded to be the garden of Prince Gong’s mansion. The ochre was dyed green, the willows were sprinkled one after another, and the wind slowly dispersed, blowing her face softly.

After Xunyang became king, the next important thing is to get married. Not long after we arrived at Prince Gong's mansion, we heard that the emperor pointed out a marriage to him, and the woman was the granddaughter of the Taifu.

However, Xunyang didn't seem very happy when he heard about this. You must know that the dignified second prince has never even accepted a concubine, and he suddenly wants to marry a concubine. How can he adapt to this?

"I haven't even seen what the other person looks like, what if it's an ugly monster." Xunyang complained to me.

I comforted him: "Isn't it all said in the imperial decree, with a dignified appearance and a virtuous disposition."

"If you can believe what the imperial decree says, then why should I worry about it?" Xunyang's words are reasonable, but I also think that the imperial edict has always been high-sounding and cannot be trusted.

According to the folk customs of the Xuan Kingdom, unmarried men and women need to meet several times before they get married. It is called a blind date, and there are very few people like Xunyang who don't even know what each other looks like.

"I heard that the other party is the granddaughter of Taifu. Although I don't like Taifu very much, the character of his children should not be too bad." I pretended to think deeply for a while, and came to this conclusion.

Unexpectedly, when I said this, Xun Yang frowned even tighter, and said: "It's hard to escape from the grand teacher's long speech, and then you have to meet the granddaughter's teachings?"

Weixue, who has been silent all this time, probably couldn't listen to our nonsense, and said, "I've met Taifu's granddaughter, she looks pretty good, she's on par with Qingzhi, and she has a personality, and she's easy to talk to. Brother, you are very suitable. As the saying goes, knowing a son is like a father, if the father doesn't know you, how can he marry you at will?"

Look, as soon as Princess Zhaoyun speaks, her realm is much higher than that of Xunyang and me.

After taking half a reassurance pill, Xunyang no longer complained, only looking forward to what kind of princess will be ushered in next.

"Prince Gong's marriage has been settled, so it's Princess Zhaoyun's turn next?" I suddenly thought of this, and for some reason, I couldn't imagine what kind of man to match Wei Xue with.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xue looked disdainful, "Even if Si Yong is married, it's not my turn."

"Why?" The emperor loves this princess living among the people very much. In addition, she is so talented and talented. I don't think the emperor will forget her.

"As long as I don't want to, no one can control me." Wei Xue's words are the most heart-warming words I have said to her since I have known her for so long.

I couldn't help clapping my hands, "It's reasonable and reasonable."

"It's you, Qing Zhi, you're getting old soon." Wei Xue looked at me with interest, as if she was thinking about what kind of person would be unlucky enough to marry me in the future.

I cleared my throat, and said seriously: "According to my observations over the years, my mother has a relatively close relationship with Tantaiyu, the owner of the Longevity Valley, and Tantai Jingxing, the owner's son, and I are childhood sweethearts. It's with Jing Xing, but I know Jing Xing's character too well, and the matter of getting married is not up to me."

"I'm really not ashamed, the girl's family observes these all the time." Si Yong glanced at me.

I didn't take Si Yong's words seriously, I just regarded it as the difference between the informal sons and daughters of the world and the reserved and polite royal family and nobles.

"I think you should stop marrying. Whoever you marry will harm others." Wei Xue patted my shoulder with a very meaningful look.

I snorted and let out my breath, "Are you happy to see me die alone?"

Hearing the words, Wei Xue took me away from her shoulders, held her forehead and pondered for a moment, then said softly, "I can accompany you."

"Forget it, I'll die alone with you, I might as well marry Jing Xing." In fact, I feel that getting married is far away from me, after all, I haven't lived anywhere.

"You think he's good?" Wei Xue seemed to be a bit off focus.

Jing Xinghao is for sure, but if I marry him because of his kindness, after thinking about it, I always feel that there is something missing. Could it be that what my mother once said was called "heartbeat" is missing.

"Of course it's good." From the literal meaning of good, I think Jing Xing is many times better than Wei Xue, and Si Yong is also better than her.

"Oh, okay." Wei Xue nodded silently.

On the second day, Weixue left Prince Gong's mansion and returned to Beijing, and only talked to Xunyang and Si Yong before leaving.The difference between closeness and closeness can be seen immediately, and I feel faintly uncomfortable in my heart.

One is because of fun, and the other is because we want to see the future Princess Gong, so Si Yong and I decided to return to Beijing after Xunyang got married.

One month later, the Palace of Prince Kung was decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy.Si Yong stared intently at the bride who came in from the main entrance, with an indescribably fascinated look on her face.

From the tossing around in the morning until now, the bride just came in. I feel tired looking at all the red tape, and I don't understand what Si Yong is fascinated by.

Si Yong said, "I don't know who will lead me at the other end of the red line?"

This girl Huaichun, I was speechless, I prayed in my heart: Concubine Min, marry your daughter as soon as possible.

During the bridal chamber, Si Yong and I met Princess Gong as we wished. She is the kind of person who is very gentle at first glance, and her every smile and every action is like a lady.

"Qing Zhi, look at her, and then at you, you look like a monkey." Si Yong said to me after walking out of the new house.

I expressed my displeasure, and corrected me: "I'm not called Pohou, it's my own style."

"Absurd."

After getting married, Xunyang was busy building up his relationship with the princess. I also watched the landscape of this place all over the place, and felt bored. After a few days, I also bid farewell to Xunyang and returned to Beijing with Si Yong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the palace, I heard the terrible news: the empress is crazy.

The queen has been deposed due to loss of mind and nonsense. "When you and I left the palace to bid farewell to the Empress, didn't she look fine, why did she go crazy?" Si Yong looked at the empty Queen's Palace and turned to ask me.

It's okay if she doesn't look at me, but when I look at me, I feel a little guilty for some reason, thinking of the head that Wei Xue said she would give to the queen, and the hairpin she asked me to put in front of the queen's dressing table.

"Look at me, how do I know what happened."

In the days that followed, I gradually heard more about the queen. After hearing that she was crazy, she kept talking nonsense, shouting: Concubine Zhuang, don't kill me.

If I remember correctly, Concubine Zhuang should be the title of Princess Zhaoyun's late mother.

As soon as the emperor heard the queen's nonsense, he conducted a thorough investigation into the fact that Concubine Zhuang was abolished 16 years ago, and finally concluded that it was the queen who framed Concubine Zhuang and sent people to harm her after she left the palace. Finally, when Weixue was six years old, Concubine Zhuang was killed by someone sent by the queen.

There is another long and tragic story behind this. No need to ask, I can also think that the Queen's madness has something to do with Wei Xue.

After the emperor knew the truth, probably out of guilt towards Weixue, he doted on Weixue even more, to the point where Concubine Min often complained, but he didn't dare to show it.

The empress was abolished and entered the cold palace. Si Yong and I wanted to visit her, but Concubine Min scolded me. She said that it is an extraordinary period. We will not only harm her, but also us. Own.

Therefore, the idea of ​​visiting the queen was put aside for the time being.And for me, it’s fine if I don’t go, but if I go, I will inevitably feel that I am Wei Xue’s accomplice.

"It's so boring, I can't go anywhere." I was bored watching Si Yong's calligraphy and painting in the study, and I helped study ink by the way.

"Mother and concubine is doing it for our own good, so if you don't go out, don't go out." Si Yong's concentration is all right for a year, but I feel like grass is growing on my head.

Seeing that I really have nothing to do, Si Yong suggested to sit with Wei Xue, but I immediately refused, the queen is crazy, she has avenged her revenge, I don't want to see her face that has succeeded in her scheme.

Finally, one night, my limbs, which had been silent for a long time, finally couldn’t bear to go out to liberate them, so I took advantage of Si Yong and Concubine Min’s sleep, jumped from one roof to another, stretched my fists freely, and enjoyed Freedom in the void of time.
