The ghost wife of the paranoid prince

"My lord met an actor last night and raised him in the yard."

Ning Fei didn't even wash her face when she heard the news in the morning, and hurried to Shuying Garden, pushed the green bamboo away, kicked open the door, dug Huai Shuhan from the bed, grabbed him by the collar and yelled angrily: "Are you tired of being played by the prince?"

Huai Shuhan frowned.

Ning Fei grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Could it be that you have been trained/taught to obey the prince, and he is tired of him and fell in love with the actor?"

Then he has one more opponent.

Huai Shuhan finally understood what Ning Fei was talking about, and pushed his hand away indifferently: "Who does he find has anything to do with me?"

"Of course it does matter. It's better to be your opponent than to be an opponent who covets the prince. As the saying goes, a bitch is ruthless and an actor is meaningless. He really can play more tricks than us."

Huai Shuhan was not as excited as Ning Fei, and Ji Houyan was tired, which was just right for him.

"And..." Ning Fei looked at him strangely: "They said that person looks exactly like you."

Last night the troupe sang "The Peony Pavilion". The scholar Liu Mengmei on the stage accidentally got a portrait of a beautiful woman, and Liniang also re-entered the world as a wandering soul, looking for the marriage of her dreams.A marriage drama of life and death, death and resurrection.

Ji Houyan, who originally wanted to watch a few shows and then made an excuse to leave, also watched the show from beginning to end this time.Afterwards, he found an actor who played the role of Liniang. The actor played tricks, took off his make-up to see the prince, and was taken away.

"There are too many similar people in the world." Chu Shengyun is also similar to Meng Yuqing.

"No, I have to go and take a look. This actor has never been seen in the palace before, why did he suddenly appear? Seeing that the prince is taking off his makeup, it is clear that he knows that the prince likes you." Ning Fei thought hard, He didn't believe that the actor was innocent.

But he was held back by Huai Shuhan.

"You want to go too." Ning Fei said happily.

Huai Shuhan shook his head: "Don't go."

Ji Houyan's mind is better on others, if Ning Fei goes, what if Ji Houyan comes to humiliate him again?

"Why?" Ning Fei asked, and suddenly realized that Huai Shuhan hated Ji Houyan, he was different from them, he was forced and threatened to stay.

Ning Fei didn't know whether to go or not for a while, he just looked at Huai Shuhan, and finally surrendered after a while.

"Okay, I won't go, let's see how he is domineering."

Huai Shuhan's eyebrows and eyes were bent, like spring flowers blooming, although it was not obvious, but it was the first time in so long that he showed an indifferent and surprised expression to Ning Fei.

I don't know if the actor was really favored, but Ji Houyan didn't come over in the next few days, nor did he give anything away.

Cuizhu inevitably had to sneer at him, talking about the new actor named Tong Jing in front of Huai Shuhan. No, I deserve the prince to like it.The actor sang operas for the prince every day in the courtyard, and the prince loved to hear him sing "The Peony Pavilion".

Huai Shuhan had heard of "The Peony Pavilion", but it was all a lie.How can a dead person come back to life?

On New Year's Eve, the palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, osmanthus shadows and candlelight, and auspicious smoke lingers among the flowers, plants and trees.This day, even Cui Zhu didn't make things difficult for Huai Shuhan, this maid had long since disappeared, she didn't know what she was doing.

The palace is very lively, but this excitement has nothing to do with Huai Shuhan.

The moon is full in the empty garden of Shuying Garden, and the snow has not disappeared.When Ning Fei came in wearing a thick jacket, she saw that Huai Shuhan was still dressed in white, so thin that even he felt cold in a thick jacket.

"It's a rare festival, can't you wear something festive?"

Huai Shuhan raised his eyes, Ning Fei came over and took his hand, which was icy cold: "You can't add some clothes, anyway, the prince gave them, if you don't wear them, it will be cheaper for others."

"I have clothes."

Ning Fei didn't play tricks with him, he knew it was useless to say anything to Huai Shuhan, so he went in and found a cloak to put on Huai Shuhan.

"Come on, let's go to the street today."

"Don't go."

"Oh, go out and have a look, I can't buy anything you want." Ning Fei didn't care whether Huai Shuhan agreed or not, she dragged him out.

If Ning Fei hadn't been bothering him for a long time, it would have been kicked out of Shuyingyuan by Huai Shuhan if it was someone else.However, there are only a handful of people in this palace who can talk to Huai Shuhan, most of them are afraid to see him cold, they just feel incredible when they see Ning Fei talking to Huai Shuhan.

Because of New Year's Eve, people flock to Yujie to watch the lantern market.From Mahang Street to Zhouqiao, there are fire trees and silver flowers everywhere, and several lamp towers are particularly spectacular.

He said he was going shopping, but he took Huai Shuhan to a Zhuangzi on purpose, took out a key and opened the vermilion lacquered gate, and he saw a courtyard planted with flowers and plants.

Ning Fei's face was flushed, and her eyes were bright: "Shuhan, this is the Zhuangzi I bought in the capital. You are the first person I brought here. When I am no longer in the palace, I will move here. I There is still a sum of money, enough for my retirement."

When he came out to play a few days ago, he happened to see that Zhuangzi was about to sell, so he came to have a look and bought it. He had made plans for himself in the future.

Ning Fei took Huai Shuhan to the hall, to the main courtyard, to the side courtyard.This Zhuangzi is not big, but the layout is luxurious and elegant, and a lot of vegetation has been planted.

Ning Fei rolled around on the bed in the main courtyard, raised her eyes and saw Huai Shuhan standing beside her, and stretched out her hand to pull him over.

"Go to sleep, I made the bed very soft."

Huai Shuhan's center of gravity was unstable, and he rolled on the bed in embarrassment.Ning Fei followed to tickle him, but she didn't expect Huai Shuhan to be ticklish, so she covered her stomach and hid while laughing.Ning Fei looked at his smiling face, and was stunned: "I finally know why the prince drugged you."

Huai Shuhan lost his smile for a moment, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Ning Fei bumped him on the shoulder again: "Did you find anything in the palace?" He didn't wait for Huai Shuhan to say anything, and said again: "You must not have seen those boys in the backyard, you should go and see those people carefully. , there are always some places similar to you. That actor also resembles you so much!"

Huai Shuhan looked up at him, Ning Fei knew what he was looking at, he pointed to his lips: "Here, it looks like you."

"I was just thinking, has the lord seen you before, or someone like you, otherwise why would he look for someone just like you."

Ning Fei propped his chin with both hands, and he rambled, "I've seen that actor before, and he looks too much like you."

"Maybe he is the one the prince is looking for."

"No." Ning Fei said mysteriously: "The prince will go to his place to listen to the opera. The people raised in the backyard don't eat for free. What did the prince do today, who did he meet, and did he stay overnight or talk to him? They are so clear that I can hear cocoons in my ears."

Ning Fei dangled her legs: "I am also a person with a small treasury. Come here from now on and come in with you."

Huai Shuhan smiled lightly and remained silent.

In the evening Ning Fei took him to the tallest lantern tower in the capital to watch the fireworks. People stood next to each other. Ning Fei tied Huai Shuhan's wrists to her own so that they wouldn't be scattered by others.

But the lamp tower was crowded with people, Huai Shuhan accidentally stepped on someone's foot, was about to apologize, when he raised his eyes, there was a person exactly like himself, beside him was Ji Houyan.

"My lord." Although Ning Fei knew that Ji Houyan didn't like her, she still couldn't help but hold her face in a nympho.

"My lord, there are too many people here, let's find a secluded place." Tong Jing said coquettishly in his arms.

Ji Houyan turned his gaze from Ning Fei to Huai Shuhan, seeing that his expression was normal, he nodded and said, "Let's go."

The two squeezed through the crowd and went down the lamp tower.

Ning Fei jumped her feet jealously: "My lord went to celebrate a banquet in the palace tonight. Is he back? This actor is really capable, and my lord is willing to bring him out."

When Huai Shuhan saw Tong Jing for the first time, he couldn't help being surprised: "We are really alike."

Then Ji Houyan should let him go soon.

Xu Shi and the two returned to the palace. At this time, the mansion was still bustling. The servant girls were setting off fireworks, and the crackling sound exploded in the air, and the blossoming fireworks were gorgeous.

Sitting under the eaves, Huai Shuhan hugged his knees and looked up at the fireworks. The voices of those people were very close to him, yet seemed to be far away, passing through the chaotic time and space of his life.

If Meng Yuqing was still alive, he would take the paper lantern he made and take him to the river to put a lotus lantern and make a wish.He would take him to the street, buy his favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then go home with firecrackers all over the floor.

Even if Meng Yuqing was not around later, he still had his bones as his companion for a hundred years.

He sat in the middle of the night and had a dream when he fell asleep leaning on the porch pillar. It was a long time ago, in the last year before Meng Yuqing left Pingyang County, they put up lanterns by the river, and the lanterns on the river were dazzling. He pushed He almost fell into the water during the lantern, but was caught by Meng Yuqing's arms.

Maybe it was the charming lights at that time, maybe the atmosphere was just right, or maybe Meng Yuqing was going to take the imperial examination in Beijing this year, and I don’t know when I will see you again.

Meng Yuqing restrained herself when she was about to kiss Huai Shuhan's lips, and placed a kiss on his cheek.

Huai Shuhan looked at him in astonishment, in disbelief and shock.

Meng Yuqing said anxiously: "Xiao Han, I made a wish to marry you in this life. Your dear? Will you wait for me?"

Huai Shuhan's eyelashes fluttered, his eyes drooped and he nodded.

"What about you? What wish did you make?"

Huai Shuhan didn't want to talk about it, because it wouldn't work.Meng Yuqing asked him many times that night, but Huai Shuhan never said anything.

Then his wish came true in the future, Meng Yuqing was the number one scholar in high school, and Meng Yuqing said to marry him, but it never came true.

"Liar, liar."

Let him wait for so long and not come back to marry him, let him wait for so long, only to wait for a corpse.

When Ji Houyan came over with a bowl of dumplings, he saw Huai Shuhan falling asleep in the yard, and when he put the dumplings aside, he heard Huai Shuhan murmuring a few times.Ji Houyan picked him up, his eyelashes rustled, as if he was startled, and when he carried him to the bed, he woke up.

For a moment, their eyes met.

In the stagnant room, one was sitting and the other was standing. The dim candlelight hit the sides of their faces, making it difficult for people to see the emotions in each other's eyes clearly.

Ji Houyan saw his own reflection in Huai Shuhan's glazed eyes. It was the first time in a long time that he saw himself from Huai Shuhan's eyes. This person is no longer ignoring him, no longer revealing He looked into the distance.

For some reason, it made Ji Houyan think of looking back by chance in the long years, meeting him under the endless moonlight, time and space scattered, prosperous generations, meeting him among thousands of people.

Ji Houyan's heart moved, he pushed Huai Shuhan down on the bed and kissed him frantically, prying open his white teeth, sucking his taste, absorbing the cold fragrance of his body, as if it was about to be rubbed into the blood, and it was difficult to separate.

"Let me go." Huai Shuhan pushed and refused, and resistance was nothing more than refusal and welcome compared to Ji Houyan.

Uncontrollably, he suppressed all Huai Shuhan's resistance under him, imprisoned his hands on top of his head, breathed disorderly, and kissed the person under him messily.
