Penglai delusion

On the night of Jin Ning's official burial, Jiang Tan saw Ming Ji for the first time.

It was late at night when he came back from Moon Valley with Jiang Shan, and Luoxiao Palace was still as warm and bright as in memory.

It is also a lively time.

Several children on the Beidou Tianjie were having a good time, and the second and third children were even fighting, no one could persuade them.

Jiang Shan glanced at Jiang Tan, "Your brother and sister are fighting again."

Jiang Tan let out a "hmm", walked over calmly, and sat in his seat.

Those eldest sons and daughters always regarded this younger brother who was imprisoned in the cold palace as a freak, and under the frequent cold eyes, they were more or less unwilling to cause trouble easily.Now seeing the two walking together, I didn't know what the father meant, so I obediently stopped.

In Jiang Shan's eyes, there was an illusion that they were all afraid of Jiang Tan.

... Ah Qing, you are indeed our child.He thought complicatedly, none of them could compare.

Over there, Jiang Tan cleaned his hands, drank the meat soup, and looked at the dishes on the table, thinking that if he took all these back, it should be enough for himself and Xueqiu for three days.

He knew that Xuehu was not interested in rice noodles, so he took the white sugar cake and ate it first.

After pouring down these several plates of pastries with hot soup, I feel full after a while.

This is the last time.Jiang Tan wiped the corners of his lips, thinking, Jin Ning is not here, so he doesn't have to come to the banquet in the future.

He had already got up and was about to find the cage when he suddenly remembered something.

Xuanji's night banquet will not stop until the afternoon.At that time, Hua Nu will bring a basket of small New Year gifts, including Xueqiu's favorite transparent small clam shells.It was made of mother-of-pearl and was used to fill baskets with golden melon seeds and jade millet seeds. Snow fox liked it very much, and often used it to grind its teeth. It creaked in its mouth like eating candy. I had a great time.

Jiang Tan thought about it, but still didn't ask for the gift basket in advance.

But he was full, and he didn't really want to stay here to receive countless malicious attention gifts.He simply turned around and left, bypassing the beaded curtain, and boarded the empty side platform.

That place was originally a good place for admiring the moon, but now the snowflakes have been drifting, and the moonlight has become more and more hazy.

Jiang Tan reached out to catch a piece of snow.As soon as he held that bit of coldness in his palm, he heard a lot of movement behind him.

Ming Ji came here slowly.She had just changed out of the wine-splashed clothes, and heard that several children had just fought over their own affairs, so she stroked each of them, and smiled and said something nice to Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan winked at her.

She turned around, and saw at a glance beyond several palace curtains, the child made of ice and snow was quietly looking up at the sky.

Different from other children, his whole body is cold, like a shadow under the moon, so pale that it is unreal.

So Mingji walked forward lightly and slowly.

"What are you looking at?" She said softly, as if she was afraid that the child would be scared away if she didn't pay attention.

"Counting snowflakes."

Mingji was startled, then smiled again, "Have you counted clearly?"

The child raised Jing Liuli's eyes and looked at her peacefully, "The one hundred and seventh tablet just landed on your eyes."

Mingji's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt sad.She had heard Jiang Shan talk about this child, but she didn't want him to have such a temperament.

"It's cold outside, come in." She just said that.

Jiang Tan followed her in.

Ming Ji took the brocade list from the palace man and put it on his head.Jiang Tan froze, and let her rub for a while without moving.

"Come here." Mingji handed him the Nautilus Cup again, "Drink some wine to warm up."

Jiang Tan paused, "I don't drink."

"It's made from fruit, very light." Mingji couldn't help but smile, "You're a child, so of course I won't pour you alcohol."

Jiang Tan hesitated for a while, took it, took a symbolic sip, and returned it.

He was still young when he first went to the banquet with Jin Ning, but he still had to follow the ancestral precepts and drink sub-year-old wine with his clan.As a result, as soon as he drank the cup, he couldn't get up, he was groggy, and his whole body seemed to be melting.It wasn't until Jin Ning evaporated the alcohol in his body with spiritual energy that he woke up blushing.

At that time, he remembered that he was not allowed to touch alcohol.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tan raised his eyes, but he seemed to see his mother and concubine whom he had never met smiling at him amidst the rich aroma of fruit wine.

He opened his eyes wide, closed his eyelids again, opened them again after a moment of precipitation, then lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Mingji thought the child was cute.She doesn't speak a word, but she is obedient as hell.

After a pause, she lowered her voice, "I think of someone when I look at you. He is very cute. If you see him, you will definitely like him."

Jiang Tan nodded.

Although it was just a sip of fruit wine, his eyes still turned red.He was led straight up to the jade seat at the top of the sky steps by Ming Ji, and within a moment he fell asleep by her side and dozed off.

Mingji asked for a piece of white bear skin, and wrapped Jiangtan into a ball, revealing only a small face dreaming soundly.

"Sovereign, let's talk softer, the sixth eldest son is asleep." As she spoke, she brushed Jiang Tan's forehead hair, wiped away the thin sweat from the corners of his brows, and said to Jiang Shan with a smile, "Look, like a snow doll , almost melted and still not waking up, how soundly I must have slept."

Jiang Shan didn't want to look any further, just picked up a frozen cherry seed, and let out a low "huh".

Ming Ji pursed her lips, "I think that no matter how close you are to the cold, children still like warm places."

Jiang Shan said, "You mean..."

"Let him stay here for a few more days and leave after the meeting."

Jiang Shan remained silent for a moment, and agreed.

When Jiang Tan woke up in the overly soft blanket, he felt that he was trapped in a handful of smoked rice, his eyelids seemed to be covered by the aroma, and he couldn't open them at all.

As soon as he moved, his fingertips touched a small carved ball.He held it with his hand once, and felt that it was the mattress incense burner he had read in the book. He couldn't help bending his arms up, stretching his fingers and sniffing lightly, secretly thinking that it was the thicker agarwood fragrance floating by his side.

This strange bed was opaque at all, he didn't know what time it was, he could only hear birds chirping faintly in the distance.

It turns out that spring in Kunlun has come so early.Thinking about it, Jiang Tan fumbled to open the curtain a crack.

The outer fruit has been brightened.He rubbed his eyes and got up, put on his boots, and took the warm water prepared on the corner cabinet to clean his face and teeth.

"Your Majesty." The palace servants waiting outside the screen heard the sound of water and announced to themselves, "Do you want breakfast?"

"Okay." Jiang Tan got up and walked to the moon table, watching the two maids set the plate and serve the cups, and set up a table for breakfast in a while.

He ate all kinds of snacks and honey water made of flowers and fruits.When the meal was about to finish, I suddenly remembered something, so I asked the maid standing beside me, "Where is the gift basket for this morning?"

"Your Majesty, your gift basket is kept in Feixiang Palace, and it will be kept by Concubine Zong for the time being."

"Yes." Jiang Tan nodded, "Can you take me there?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Concubine Zong has ordered you to go to Xuanpu to drink winter tea after you have finished your breakfast."

"Okay, let's go." Jiang Tan followed the others to Xuanpu.As soon as he walked out of the five-toed corridor, he saw Jiang Shan and Ming Ji playing on a swing under a pomegranate tree.

He paused, and only said to the maid, "Go back."

After the maid was ordered to leave, Jiangtan walked to the Congxin Pavilion, sat down and began to pour tea.

Mingji saw him as he lifted the teapot from the stove.She tilted her head and smiled briskly, "Come here first, the tea needs to be boiled before it tastes good."

Jiang Tan put down the pot, but didn't go over, still watching silently.

Jiang Shan grasped the rope, trying to push the person higher, "Don't worry about it, this kid has always been so strange."

But Mingji said indifferently, "Really?"

She turned around and smiled at Jiang Shan, "But I heard that it is strange to have no children. If there are, it must have suffered a lot of hardships in growing up, and it is only then that I have raised a unique child." Have a temper."

Jiang Tan blinked.

Jiang Shan paused for a moment, but was relieved by it, "I didn't realize that you treasured him so much, and you actually talked about me for a little boy."

"I don't dare." Ming Ji said lightly.

"But you can't give birth to an heir for me, so it's okay to just accept Xiao Liu." Jiang Shan pondered, "Of course, you have to be willing to do this."

"Then what should the sixth son be called?"

Jiang Shan brows indifferently, "Just call him Xiaoliu."

Mingji's eyes turned tactfully, seeming to be angry but not angry, "Sect Master, I'm asking for the name of the sixth eldest son."

Jiang Shan laughed, "You are very curious."

But he didn't say anything.

Here, Jiangtan is still waiting for the tea to be brewed, and while looking at the sky and the earth, I occasionally catch a glimpse of those two who are very affectionate and affectionate.

The swings rise and fall with the wind, light and shadows flicker around, and many butterflies, flowers and leaves fly around them.

Jiang Tan thought, Jin Ning said that the father's favorite person is the concubine mother, but now he can't fake the favor he treats Ming Ji.

He turned to look at the steaming lid of the pot and thought, it should be almost ready.

Just at this time, a clan member came along the road and called Jiang Shan away, saying that Luo Sizhu had something important to report.

Ming Ji then stopped the swing, went to the pavilion, and sat opposite the river pool, "Sixth Sect, before the winter tea is put out of the oven, let's play for a while, okay?"

"Hmm." The child nodded slightly.

"Okay." She raised her eyes and smiled, "My name is Cui Jiao."

"...My name is Jiang Tan."

"Don't tell me first, let me guess how it is written." Mingji thought for a while, then smiled slightly, "Is it... the lake in the shadow of Jiang Tiandian?"

Jiang Tan was startled, his eyes darkened, and he let out a "hmm".

"It's a good name." Mingji smiled, and began to pour tea, "Sixth Sect, would you like to stay here from now on?"

Jiang Tan had already thought about this festival, and he answered quickly, "From now on, I will never go out of the Snow Palace, nor will I go to the Zong Banquet again."

Ming Ji was taken aback, "Why?"

"In the past, I was always taken by Jin Ning when I went to banquets. This time, I will treat her as a gift." Jiang Tan said calmly, "Since Jin Ning is gone, I won't come in the future either."

"You are kind and righteous." Jiang Shan came over at first glance, with deep meaning in his eyes, "Jin Ning still has a last wish, why don't you be the gravekeeper of Moon Valley for her?"

"The suzerain came just in time. Here, today's first product." Ming Ji served the first tea, with a smile on her lips, "The sixth son is a good boy, let him do what he wants to do."

Jiang Shan took her tea, tasted a piece of tea, and said to the child, "It seems that it is very important to keep you here. We originally wanted you to attend the once-in-a-lifetime meeting to gain some insight. But you have made up your mind to go. Father will not force you. I will send you back later."

"Thank you, Father." Jiang Tan said calmly.

Mingji pushed another cup of tea with the child, "You are the only one in that place now, do you want to appoint some servant slaves as companions?"

Jiang Tan shook his head, "Concubine Xie Zong, I am enough."

He drank up the winter tea she handed him, and bid farewell to Luoxiao Palace.

Before the golden crow fell, Jiangtan was escorted by the imperial guards to the front of Buxue Palace, and he brought in the package promised by Jiang Shan.

At this time, the snow stopped, the sky was clear, and the sun was shining brightly.

Jiang Tan put his things away, but without seeing Xueqiu, he sat by the flower pond in the front yard and basked in the sun.

Basking in the sun, I opened my eyes thoughtfully, broke off a branch and wrote a line on the snow.

He stared at it for a long time, until the snow fox's paw stepped on it.

"Snowball." Jiang Tan said, "This is my name."

The fox let out a cry, and picked off the hem of his robe.He picked it up.

"I've never read this line of poetry elsewhere, so she must have thought of it herself." Jiang Tan stroked the fluffy head in his arms, very sure, "My name is the surname of my concubine. Jin Ning said of."

He raised his face, looked around for a moment, then lowered his voice, "Jin Ning, have you seen it?"
