Lanling Ji

At noon in the early spring, the sun rushed to every corner unscrupulously, shining a burst of warmth on the body, even the eunuchs waiting outside the bedroom couldn't help squinting their eyes, feeling sleepy.

However, Ye Lanling in the hall did not feel sleepy at all. He sat by the table, his eyes wandering over the extinguished oil lamp.He was a little anxious, why the person he was anxious to meet hadn't arrived yet.He stood up and walked slowly towards the door, looking at the bits of light squeezed into the cracks.

Bai Zhi... really didn't come to the bedroom today, it seems that she is "rummaging through the box" in the Sutra Pavilion, I hope she can find it as soon as possible, so that she can come back.It will be his birthday in four days, should I give him something as a congratulatory gift?But...he is the emperor, what can he lack...Ye Lanling stopped in his tracks, lowered his eyes slowly, and stroked the scar on his face.Every time I saw him touch this mark, bitterness and remorse would appear in his eyes instantly, making people feel his sadness immediately.I don't want to see him with that expression again, and I don't want him to fall into the pain of the past again.Although I don't remember everything from the past, maybe I will recall it again in the future, but I believe...no matter what happened before, I will never hate him, I...can't hate him at all, I love him so deeply .

"King Yang of Qi has arrived—" the eunuch's finally sober voice brought back Ye Lanling's thoughts, he hurried forward and met Yu Wenxian entering the hall.

"Lanling." Yu Wenxian looked at Ye Lanling who had been waiting for a long time, and then looked at the bedroom where there was no one else, and asked doubtfully, "Where are the others? Where is the maid?"

"Miss Baizhi...it's a long story. Master Yuwen, please sit down inside. Lanling has something to ask." Ye Lanling looked at Yu Wenxian who was also alone, "Where is Fu Luo? Didn't you come with Master Yuwen?"

Yu Wenxian sat down slowly at the table, opened the paper fan and shook it lightly, "Fu Luo is preparing for the emperor's birthday banquet, and I heard that the king of the Huns will also come that day and bring a dancer from the Huns , and then he got angry, saying that he couldn't lose face to the Chile tribe, and now he's busy with those dancers every day, and he doesn't bother me, hey..."

Seeing Yu Wenxian's pitiful look of being abandoned, Ye Lanling smiled and comforted, "He will return to Lord Yuwen after a while."

"Hey, what can I do? Who said it was the elder brother's birthday..." Yu Wenxian put away the unfinished nagging, and remembered what Ye Lanling said just now, "Lanling, you asked me to come here today. What's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, Mr. Yuwen, please don't worry, it's just that Lanling has something to ask." Ye Lanling poured out the fragrant Longjing and placed a small celadon cup in front of Yuwenxian.

"There is no such thing as 'seeking each other' between you and me, just tell me what you want." Yu Wenxian picked up the teacup and took a sip, only to feel the fragrance of the tea overflowing.

Ye Lanling paused, then lowered her eyes, covered the scar on her face with her hand, and said slowly, "Master Yuwen, can this scar of mine disappear within four days."

"You..." Yu Wenxian felt a little surprised after hearing Ye Lanling's words.Didn't he always regard this scar as the only proof of its existence before, why did it suddenly say it disappeared now?And within four days, four days... Isn't that the eldest brother's birthday?Could it be that...he wants to give up his previous memories and be with his elder brother again...

"Master Yuwen?" Ye Lanling looked at Yu Wenxian who was staring at him silently, and frowned, "If this is my unreasonable request, then I take back what I just said."

"No!" Yu Wenxian suddenly said to stop Ye Lanling's intention to back down. He couldn't bear the excitement and said with a smile, "There is nothing unreasonable about this matter. On the contrary, I wanted to do it a long time ago. It's just that you were very excited before. Cherish this unsightly scar, so my elder brother forbids me to mention it. Now that you propose it yourself, Na Yu can only go all out to eliminate it without a trace."

Ye Lanling was stunned for a moment after hearing Yu Wenxian's words, and then smiled faintly, "Thank you, Mr. Yu Wen."

"No need, no need." Yu Wenxian said with a smile as he waved the white fan with ink characters, "Actually, everyone here except you and elder brother wants to get rid of this scar. It's so hideous that it ruins your beauty..." Yu Wenxian didn't continue talking, he looked at Ye Lanling's slowly dim eyes and turned aside, hurriedly said, "Lanling, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that everyone hates..."

Ye Lanling raised his head, smiled at Yu Wenxian who was eager to explain, "Master Yuwen, please don't worry, I just remembered A Zhu."

"Azhu?" Yu Wenxian thought about this somewhat familiar name.

"I don't know if she's doing well in 'Magic Peak', and if she's still as eloquent as before..." Ye Lanling said to himself, the quiet scene and the everlasting smile appeared in his mind.

"Lanling?" Yu Wenxian called out, seeing the smiling and silent person.

Hearing the call, Ye Lanling woke up from his memory. He looked at Yu Wenxian with apologetic smile and said, "I'm really sorry, I just wandered off. I hope Master Yuwen will forgive me."

"No problem." Yu Wenxian stood up, "Since I promised you to remove the scars within four days, then I will prepare the medicinal materials now, and I will come back later and tell you in detail."

"Okay." Ye Lanling sent Yu Wenxian to the gate of the palace, stopped, hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Yuwen, please don't tell Yu Yong about this, I..."

"Okay." Yu Wenxian put away the folding fan and said with a smile, "I can imagine how surprised the eldest brother will be when he sees your recovery, haha."

Ye Lanling curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Then there will be Lord Lao Yuwen."

four days later

It was just dawn, but the inner courtyard of the palace was gradually filled with voices.

Ye Lanling lightly turned over, the man had already got up.He slowly sat up, brushed the covered strands of hair behind his ears, stretched out his hands to caress his face without scars, lowered his eyes, and gradually smiled.In order to conceal this matter, it's not easy these days. If he can't find out, he can only cover up his hair as much as possible, and he can't touch it.Many times when he saw me turning my face away, he thought I was angry. Seeing his slightly frowned brows, he really wanted to tell him directly, but...Ye Lanling smiled, still wanting to see his surprised face...

"My lord, my lord." Bai Zhi's voice came from outside the door, and then she broke into the bedroom and came to Ye Lanling three steps at a time, "My lord, this servant is back."

"Bai Zhi..." Ye Lanling looked at the person who had apparently trotted all the way here with some surprise.

"The emperor's birthday, the world is amnesty, even the little servants are pardoned." Bai Zhi danced happily, "From today, the servants can come to serve the young master again, hehe."

"Hehe." Ye Lanling looked at the happy Bai Zhi and couldn't help but feel happy. He sat up and took the white and green shirt beside him.

"My lord, wait a moment." Bai Zhi saw Ye Lanling was about to get out of bed, and hurried forward to take the clothes and put them on her body, "My lord, today is the emperor's birthday, and the garment room has made clothes for everyone in the palace. It is ordered that no one should enter the palace, so the servants will go to the garment room to fetch it for the young master."

"So..." Ye Lanling raised his head slightly, "Then there is Miss Lao Baizhi."

"No..." Bai Zhi just wanted to say politely, but she was startled when she saw Ye Lanling's face. She opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "My lord, your face..."

"Face?" Ye Lanling was stunned, then smiled, "Master Yuwen has cured my scar, why...does it feel strange?"

"No, no, no..." Bai Zhi's round eyes stared straight at the person in front of him who Ken couldn't let her look away, "It's... very beautiful."

"Eh." Hearing the meaning of this word, Ye Lanling still frowned unacceptably. He looked at the person who was staring at him motionless, and waved his hands helplessly in front of her, "Miss Baizhi..."

"Ah!" Bai Zhi finally came back to her senses. She lowered her blushing cheeks and said hastily, "Your servant... I will go get your clothes now. My lord will wait for a while, and I will wait for my servant to come back to help you dress and freshen up." , without waiting for a reply, she turned around and ran out of the hall.

Seeing the bewildered Bai Zhi, Ye Lanling smiled more helplessly, then he got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, went to sit in front of the huge bronze mirror, and quietly looked at the golden reflection in front of him.Raising his hand, he tied up his long hair that crossed his waist with his shoulders. This black and soft hair gave him a familiar feeling of strangeness. It was wrapped around his hand and coiled behind his head, as if he had cut his ears short, as if that was himself. The original appearance.

Ye Lanling looked at the short hair in the mirror, and a figure flashed in his mind. The figure seemed to be looking for something, looking eagerly, almost crazy.Suddenly, the man raised his head, and the pair of blue-green eyes under the long golden hair were staring at him. That expression, a terrifying expression, was like...

"Don't even think about leaving me, don't even think about dying!"

"Ah!" Ye Lanling let go of his hand in astonishment, and for a while, the jet-black hair poured down, covering up his panic in a mess.He took a slow breath, raised his head slowly, looked at the face in the bronze mirror that was only his own face, stretched out his hand to wipe away the fine sweat from the shock just now, stabilized his disordered thoughts, picked up the copper comb, and tied the long hair.Then he stood up, washed and washed, and walked slowly towards the door.

Ye Lanling opened the door of the palace, and the bright sunshine spread out in an instant. He squinted his eyes, and after seeing the palace that was different from the past, his mood gradually brightened from the gloom.There seemed to be more people in the palace. In the normally quiet back garden, at this moment, you could see busy servants coming and going. Everyone was preparing for the birthday banquet at night, and no one had the tendency to stop resting.

Ye Lanling walked out of the bedroom, looked at the bright red satin hanging in the corridor and couldn't help smiling.He paced slowly along the corridor, already forgetting Yong's prohibition and Bai Zhi who was going to get clothes.

As they drifted away, Ye Lanling casually wandered in the festive atmosphere, without knowing that he had stepped outside the palace.He looked at a cluster of bright purple flowers not far away, and suddenly felt that they were small and cute, so he stepped forward to take a closer look.At this time, there was a faint sobbing sound, Ye Lanling stopped, and after quietly listening to the source of the sound, he turned around and saw a girl in pink squatting by the lotus pond, crying with her head bowed. .He thought for a moment, then walked towards the woman.
