fictional spring

Seimei-sama is the first person to know about this besides me and Wu Mi.

After I told him, he was silent for a while, and his eyes slowly fell on my face. I was probably smiling at this time, but Seimei-sama's expression was very flat.

"That's it."

His answer was also flat.

The joy in my heart that I wanted to share with someone suddenly faded a bit. I supported my chin and put my elbows on the low table: "Master Qingming is not surprised at all?"

He is the one who knows the most about the matter between me and Wu Mi. From the beginning to the present, Master Qingming has almost known the whole process.

"No surprise there."

After he answered in this way, he paused and said, "So you are going to go out to meet him that day?"

I nodded.

He asked again: "Is this what you said that day that you want to understand?"

I nodded again.

Hearing that Lord Qingming collected his expression, as if he remembered something, "Does he know?"

"he?"

"That man, Your Majesty."

Master Qingming is often like this, he speaks freely in front of acquaintances, and even his father is often called "he" and "that man" by him.

But this little habit of Mr. Qingming is not a big thing worth paying attention to.

After he explained, I shook my head.

Not only did the father not know about this matter, "mother also didn't know anything about it."

Hearing that Master Qingming raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you tell them?"

"Master Seimei was the first person to know about this."

After I said that, he asked me back, "Why did you tell me first?"

I thought for a while, "Probably because I think that if it was Seimei-sama, his reaction after hearing this matter would be different from other people."

Even if I don’t think much, I can know that whether it is in the eyes of my father and mother, or in the eyes of other people I know, or even people I don’t know, my future will only be to return to the palace and become the new East Palace concubine.

"If other people know that I don't want to go back to the palace, they will think that I am wrong."

When I said this, I also felt a little distressed. Although there is still some time before such a future, the final result is still the same.

"Then what do you think?"

Seimei-sama asked me.

At this time, I remembered the gift from brother Lai Guang a few days ago—it was a new collection of Bai Letian's poems that the envoy sent to Tang Dynasty brought back a while ago.

"There is such a line in the collection of poems that Brother Laiguang gave me." I recited that line in front of Master Seimei, "The sky will last forever, and this hatred will last forever."

It is clear that the meaning of this poem is not very satisfactory, it can even be said to be sad, but I still miss it for no reason.

"I want to be with Wu Mi forever."

When he said these words, even he was taken aback for a moment, but Master Qingming lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He probably doesn't agree with it.

I suddenly had this feeling.

But Seimei-sama's expression did not show the slightest bit, and it even made people think that what I felt just now was just an illusion.

"Since Mu Yueji already has her own ideas, no matter how much others say, it won't affect your ideas."

Seimei-sama knows me far better than anyone else, and because of this, the words that come out of his mouth are especially valuable.

Just when a certain silence began to linger between us, suddenly a priestess came to tell me that Mr. Gao Ming was coming to visit.

"What's the matter?"

When I was wondering, Master Qingming said: "You will know when you see it."

So the miko looked at Seimei-sama, and then at my expression.

I nodded and said, "See you then."

There is no need for Master Seimei to avoid it, but when the maiden led Master Gao Ming to the front of the house, Master Gao Ming also showed a look of surprise when he saw Master Qingming.

"I originally wanted to visit Master Qingming, but the maid at your house told me that you were not at home." Master Gao Ming stood at the door and said, "I was still guessing where you went, but I didn't expect that you also came to the Kamo Shrine .”

Master Qingming smiled: "Master Gao Ming is so urgent, why is it?"

Hearing that Mr. Gao Ming's expression was unnatural for a moment, he looked at us, his gaze was a little vacillating.

Master Gao Ming sighed: "To be honest...some strange things happened to me in Wucha's mansion."

Since the past few days, strange voices have often appeared, and there are maids who have seen faint figures at night, and recently several maids have fallen ill, and they are still chanting the name of Master Gao Ming...

After he told us about his experience, I suddenly realized something.

Turning his gaze to Master Qingming, those fox-like eyes were looking up at Master Gaoming at the moment.

As for Master Gao Ming, under his gaze, his temples were soaked in sweat within a moment.

When he raised his hand to wipe his sweat, Master Qingming suddenly asked, "Did you do anything?"

Master Gao Ming's hands froze on his face.

At this point, I can confirm my guess.

It must be because——

"For example...abandoned the woman, so the other party feels hatred and wants to take revenge on you?"

After Master Qingming said such words, Master Gao Ming lowered his head, as if acquiescing, and after a while, he raised his face and asked: "Master Qingming..."

I also want to hear Master Qingming's opinion on this kind of thing, but Master Qingming asked me: "What do you think Mu Yueji?"

Being asked this kind of question suddenly, I also had some doubts about Seimei-sama's intentions, but the eyes of both of them fell on me at this moment, so it's not good if I don't speak up.

After being silent for a while, I said, "It's inconvenient for me to go out."

This is also the truth, logically speaking, He Mao Zhaiyuan should not care about such trivial matters. The reason why Mr. Gao Ming can come to He Mao Shrine to see me is just because of his status.

But whether I will go to his house or not is not something he can decide.

Hearing this, Master Gao Ming turned his eyes to Master Qingming.

In the end, he agreed.

And Seimei-sama came to Kamo Shrine to visit me a few days after finishing this matter.

"How did that turn out?"

I actually don't care about Mr. Gao Ming, I just wonder why people always turn into ghosts.

After I raised my doubts to Lord Seimei, he asked me back: "If Mu Yueji wants to know the result, why doesn't she come forward to solve it?"

"Because Seimei-sama is obviously better at this kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, Lord Qingming opened the bat fan in his hand, covering most of his chin, and a voice came from behind the fan: "Since Mu Yueji has an idea, why don't you come and hear it?"

Hearing this, I looked at Master Qingming: "Since Master Qingming is here again, and Master Gao Ming hasn't come to see me again, then this matter should be resolved."

"Is it because the resentful woman has turned into Prajna to cause trouble?"

When I asked, Seimei-sama nodded.

"Master Gao Ming also saw it?"

"Yes."

After Seimei-sama answered, I finally asked the question I really wanted to ask.

"How does he feel?"

"How about what?"

"It's just..." I hesitated, "The girl turned into Prajna."

"That," Master Qingming paused, and then told me: "Master Gao Ming was frightened, even though the other party kept calling his name, he just yelled something like 'stay away from me'."

It is not surprising to hear such an answer. If he still had the slightest feeling for that woman, he would not have come to us.

only……

"How does Seimei-sama feel?"

Hearing that Master Qingming's face was calm: "I don't feel anything."

I suddenly didn't understand.

It was probably because my doubts were overly obvious, Master Qingming said to me: "The human heart is just like this, it is unpredictable, just a single thought, and it may change beyond recognition."

For some reason, I was clearly talking about Mr. Gao Ming, but I sensed something for no reason.

It was a strange feeling...unexplainable and inexplicable.

"But that woman still has feelings for him, so she went to pester him in his mansion."

After I said such words, Seimei-sama suddenly looked at me quietly for a while.

"What is Mutsuki Hime worried about?" He asked me: "Worried that I might face such a future? Or worried... that I might turn into a strange appearance too?"

Although such worries sound absurd, Seimei-sama is right.

"I don't want to be a ghost."

I had this idea a long time ago.

When Lord Seimei asked me why, I said to him: "Because it's too ugly. I don't want my beloved to see me in that ugly appearance."

Hearing that Master Qingming stared intently into my eyes, he asked me: "Do you really, really think so?"

Such a question is actually a bit subtle, as if it is questioning my thoughts, and it seems to be doubting whether I will face such a future.

But whatever the reason, my answer doesn't really change much.

So Seimei-sama just left me a sentence, "Words are also curses." Then he left the shrine.

The fact that I went to see Wu Mi still reached my mother's ears - it was the maid who told her.

In fact, I am not surprised that there will be such a day. I can predict it a long time ago. The longer the maid looks at me at the obstetric house, the more worried she expresses.

I knew she was thinking about me, and I knew what my mother was worried about, but when my mother came to Kamo Shrine to find me and tried to ask about it, I told the truth.

In fact, at this time, as long as I tell my mother those thoughts that are just young and ignorant, and promise that I will never do this again, this matter can be over, but looking at the eyes of my mother looking at me, I feel her tightness. Even with the strength when I grabbed my palm, I still said the exact opposite of what she expected.

I told her: "I fell in love with Wu Mi."

This was the first time my mother got angry at me, and for the first time she showed her angry appearance in front of me, and her angry voice filled my ears, and she said to me: "Do you know what the consequences of this kind of thing will be? "

I stopped talking.

Although she knew what the consequences would be, my mother probably didn't want to hear me tell the truth at this time.Such thoughts popped up in my mind and drove me to remain silent.

But my silence turned into a show of weakness in the eyes of my mother. She said to me: "This incident can be regarded as never having happened."

Now that this has been said, there is really no room for maneuver.

But looking at my mother's expectant eyes, I remained silent.

This kind of reaction obviously couldn't make her feel at ease, and the result was that she left a maid by my side to guard me, just like a guard in disguise, just to--

"Don't ever see that person again."

In my mother's opinion, this is probably the biggest mistake I have ever made.

The maids are almost inseparable from me, even when I am eating and praying, and only when I am asleep, they will take a few steps away from me after I refuse to sleep in the same room with me.

But still guarding outside the barrier.

It's okay when the weather is warm, but as the days go by, on a cold night, the cold wind you feel on the veranda is far better than indoors.

I couldn't bear it, so I let them into the room and sat on the other side across the screen.

But in fact, this is the best time for me to go out.

Lord Seimei once taught me a kind of yin and yang technique, which is to use paper dolls to transform into human appearances. Except that they cannot speak or respond, they look like real people there.

Occasionally, I would use this yin and yang technique to create an illusion of the same shape as myself, and then run out of the shrine to meet Wu Mi by myself.

Sitting in Wu Mi's room, the immature boy whose face seemed to have faded a little looked at me, and suddenly asked, "Did something happen?"

Hearing this, I froze for a moment.

"You seem to be worried about something lately, don't you?"

After Wu Mi said this sentence, I realized that my performance was too obvious.

"No big deal..."

"Really?"

Before I finished speaking, Wu Mi interrupted me, he leaned slightly to look at me, the expression in his plum-colored eyes changed slightly.

"you are lying."

He said softly: "'No big deal' means, in fact, something happened."

After Wu Mi explained in this way, I realized that he thought much more than I imagined.

But, "I can handle it."

When I tried to comfort him, Wu Mi asked back: "Is it related to me?"

Looking into his eyes, I suddenly didn't know how to answer.

It is clear what should be said at this time, but... no matter what I say, it will have an unpleasant impact on Wu Mi.

So I / simply told him the truth.

"Mother knows about my coming to see you."

The expression on Wen Yan Wu's face suddenly froze, as if a little panicked, he pursed the corners of his mouth, and didn't know where to look.

I saw his face become a little ugly.

I don't know why I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart. It would be too tragic to hesitate or feel distressed because of this kind of thing.

So I touched Wumi's cheek, hugged his head and said to him, "Don't worry."

Left and right are just things that don't matter.

I don't care about the reaction of the palace, and I don't want to pay attention to other people's opinions, "It's the same for Wu Mi, just look at me, just listen to me."

It's just...unexpected things will always bring some unexpected consequences.

This matter still reached the ears of the father.

Even if my mother deliberately wants to hide it, she wants to cut off my relationship with Wu Mi before the emperor knows about it, so as to achieve the result of making this matter disappear before it reaches the emperor's ears, but...

Someone told the father.

Knowing that the royal father at this time, his reaction was far more violent than that of the mother, and then he punished me.

——I was removed from the identity of He Mao Zhai Yuan.

But this is just the beginning.

After being dismissed from the status of Kamo Shrine, the status of Prince Uchi was also revoked. After leaving Kamo Shrine, I failed to return to the palace, but was sent to a house on Takashi Oji Road.

I was demoted to a subject.

The royal family does not have a surname, only a first name, but my father gave me a surname, so I became "Genmuyue".

Even in the mansion on Takashi Oji, the maids still call me "Mutsuki Hime", but in fact, everyone knows that I am not Mutsuki Hime anymore.

And I no longer have the qualifications to call Your Majesty the Father.

Everything seemed like a lifetime away overnight, as if it had been a long time, and even the weather turned cold.

When I asked the maid what day it is, she told me: "It's already winter."

I suddenly remembered that the golden lantern I had planted in the Kamo Shrine was still there, and I was about to ask the maid to dig it back for me, but she told me: "Your Majesty has sent someone to bring that golden lantern back to the palace. bingo."

I was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

It is said that it was just demoted to a subject and given the surname Genji, but in fact, even guards stood outside the courtyard. Not only that, there was no bullock cart in the mansion.

In fact, it was house arrest in disguise.

Even though the punishment has been lowered, His Majesty still does not approve of my relationship with Wu Mi.

I can probably guess their thoughts, left and right are just reasons such as minor status and weak body.

Although I was restricted from going out, His Majesty did not restrict other people's visits. Master Seimei also came to visit me - he came with Brother Boya.

Brother Boya showed obvious worry on his face, and I smiled when I saw this, "Is Brother Boya unhappy?"

He froze for a moment, "Why are you happy?"

"Because I now have the same surname as Brother Boya, so it's quite interesting to talk about it."

Brother Boya probably couldn't understand why I could still laugh, the pity on his face was obvious, he frowned, as if he wanted to say something to comfort me.

"Brother Boya doesn't have to be like this."

After I said this, I explained: "I don't really care about the status of the He Mao Zhaiyuan or the rank of the inner prince."

"Anyway, it's just some foreign objects."

Brother Boya fell silent when he heard that, but Lord Qingming sighed, "Since you have thought it through, we have nothing to say..."

Brother Boya called out to him somewhat unexpectedly: "Qingming..."

"Bo Ya," Master Qingming interrupted what he wanted to say: "Let's go."

Lord Seimei and Brother Boya were not the only people who came to visit me after this incident, besides them, Brother Laiguang also came.

But his intention of coming here is different from Master Seimei and the others.

"I already know the cause and effect of this matter."

Brother Raikou sat across from me, and looked at me through the low table: "The matter between you and the young master of the Ubayashiki family has already spread in Beijing."

Brother Raikou is actually not a person who pays attention to the news in Beijing, but this time he told me all those things—whether I was deceived by the youngest son of the Miyayashiki family and made mistakes, so that His Majesty was furious and demoted me. As a subject, it was because I was punished and cried all day long, so that my health was deteriorating.

Whether it is the former or the latter, there is a strange subtlety when it falls into the ear.

"There is no such thing."

I explained to Brother Laiguang: "It's not like the rumors said, I was neither deceived, nor did I cry day and night."

In fact, after hearing His Majesty's punishment, my mood has been peaceful from the beginning to the end.

There is no need for other emotions.

But in Brother Laiguang's view, this is not the case.

"Are you really willing?"

He squinted his eyes and asked me: "It's true that your reputation doesn't matter, but your identity doesn't matter either?"

When he asked, I heard something unusual.

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, I entered the palace to meet His Majesty today."

When Brother Laiguang said this, he paused for a moment, probably wanting to see my reaction, his eyes fell on my face.

My expression at this time should be a little curious, so Brother Laiguang went on to say: "Your Majesty is only angry for a while, as long as you are willing to admit your mistake, things can actually turn around."

Hearing this, I knew the purpose of Brother Laiguang's visit, "Are you sent to persuade me?"

After I asked, he shook his head: "Not really."

I blinked, "Then what are you here for?"

Brother Lai Guang suddenly mentioned the gift he gave me earlier, "The book of Bai Letian's poems, do you know why I gave it to you?"

I shook my head.

"Muzuki," Elder Raikou squinted his eyes. At this moment, his gaze on me seemed to have changed suddenly. It was no longer the usual gaze, but some kind of...

The look in his eyes that wanted to tell me something.

"Can't I?"

He said this suddenly.

The words have come to this point, if I still can't understand what it means, then I'm too slow, but no matter what, I never thought that I would hear such words from Brother Laiguang one day.

"Are you...are you joking?"

Logically speaking, this kind of question should not come from my mouth, but Brother Laiguang also said something that was absolutely impossible to say from his mouth. Such a comparison, it seems that my statement is a bit normal.

Hearing that brother Lai Guang didn't speak, he just watched me silently.

Being stared at by that gaze, I was suddenly speechless. After being silent for a while, I raised my face: "Brother Laikou has always been a brother..."

"it's not true."

Brother Raikou interrupted me, he stared into my eyes, and suddenly I seemed to see something strange in his eyes.

He said to me, "I want to give you something."
