sick white moonlight

The tower in front of the imperial palace in the capital is already bustling with people.

A full moon hangs in the sky in the distance, and a fire dragon flies in the dark sky nearby, gathering little sparks, the dragon flies in the sky, and the night is like day.There are ball lights with a radius of one foot hanging on the gate tower. All the lights have been set up long ago, and all the lights are bright, like a hill.

The terrace in front of Miyagi is even more lively, with a variety of miscellaneous plays staged, the common people gather around to watch, and the Miyagi Emperor and his courtiers watch the lanterns together.

Xiao Ling stood quietly at a corner far away from the crowd, looking at the thousands of lights and festive gatherings, but somehow felt a bit of sadness, beauty is beauty, and it will not last long.

"Brother Ziyu, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."

He turned around and looked back, looking at Shen Fei who tapped his shoulder lightly, with slender eyebrows, extremely neatly trimmed, handsome face, wearing a nice cloud blue round neck shirt, this color is clear and light, extremely elegant, From a distance, it is full of romantic flavor.

Although Shen Fei loves books, he is very picky, especially when it comes to basic necessities of life.

"I'm not here, and I haven't walked far. I'm just watching the lantern." Xiao Lingyin coughed lightly before saying.

"I'm not like you. Not long after I came out, my eyes were all on the little lady on the street."

When Shen Fei heard it, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

"How can you blame me, Brother Ziyu, you don't know that the wind in the capital is quite open, and those little ladies, all of whom are flirtatious, look at the charming smiles from a distance through the lights, how can I not?" crazy?"

"Aren't you partial to Gu Xixi from Yingchun Building? A few days ago, you praised her for her graceful beauty and peachy lips, which made you fall in love with her at first sight and never forget her!" Xiao Lingyin said with a sneer.

"Brother Ziyu, you don't know this. The official prostitutes in the restaurant are very romantic, Xixi is Yu's favorite, but the lady at the Lantern Festival is more simple and innocent, charming and pretty, which makes her more annoying. People are very sympathetic." Shen Fei said in detail, with a plausible appearance.

"I think you will be fooled by beauty in the future." Xiao Lingyin chuckled.

"Brother Ziyu, let me tell you, don't be sad. I know you are depressed because Brother Mingzhang didn't come with you, but Mingzhang lives reclusively and is serious and serious. I don’t care. Do you know? When I met him, except for the first time, every time I met him, I always had a book with me. Although I love books and love to read, I also have other hobbies. I have never seen someone like him, who is so absorbed in the book, I really have to sigh, you can also talk about him more, although there is a golden house in the book, there are countless beauties in the world, attracting romantic talents to compete .” Shen Fei looked at the grass dragon lantern flying in the air, with a slightly teasing tone.

"I can't persuade him! And Mr. Hanshan, why have you been pretending to be a beauty lately?" Xiao Lingyin lowered his head and chuckled.

"It's not, it's approaching the exam, relax and relax." Shen Fei giggled, without refuting, and continued: "I don't believe you can't persuade Mr. Mingzhang. Tell me, in the past, when did he invite Mr. Mingzhang? I, it's not because of you, you and him are awkward, you can't talk nonsense. I thought you two would not come out, but I didn't expect that you came with me in the end. "

After hearing this, Xiao Lingyin didn't try to defend himself, but said in a low voice: "There is nothing to stay in the temple. Recently, there are especially many people offering incense. I originally planned to invite him to climb the mountain, but he went to the empty building to find I couldn't find half a shadow. I still met Master Zhen on the way, and he told me that Mingzhang should have gone home. I thought about it and went out to relax."

"You, you, I really don't know what to say!" Shen Fei heard the sadness and grievance in his words, and sighed a few words.

"When I first met the two of you, I thought you were a stubborn and arrogant scholar, while he was an easy-talking scholar. Now, it seems that it's just a superficial appearance. Although he has an elegant and immortal appearance, he just doesn't understand it. But you, What an idiot."

"That night, after I left, did you quarrel with him, or else he wouldn't have avoided you like this." Shen Fei asked again.

"He scolded me?" Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyin felt aggrieved and said without saying anything.

"That's not like Mr. Mingzhang's approach. Can you go to find him the next day?" Shen Fei shook his head in his heart as he saw the faint disappointment on Xiao Lingyin's face.

"I didn't look for it. He doesn't want to see me. I went to look for him the day before yesterday, but I only saw his attendant. The attendant also told me that there is no need to go there." Xiao Lingyin watched and wandered away. The tourists said lightly.

"That's weird?" Shen Fei pondered for a few times, and then said aloud, "I guess something happened to him at home. You must be able to see that, of course, he is not an ordinary person."

"Of course I know, but he doesn't say anything, and I don't want to ask more." Xiao Ling lowered his back a little, and said in a deep voice.

"I guess, Mr. Mingzhang may be a child of the clan." Shen Fei shook his head, "The servants around him are not like ordinary people. Especially Jiao Shan, who is taking care of him personally, looks the same as usual, but his voice is so different. Too sharp."

"You mean, he is an eunuch..." Xiao Ling faintly understood that Jiao Shan was the servant who served He An the most.

"That's right." Shen Fei agreed, and added, "Although Mr. Mingzhang's clothes are simple, the material of his clothes is not ordinary. Especially once he was wearing a crescent-white cross-neck silk shirt with lotus pattern, the color is simple and elegant, and the lotus pattern is exquisite It's complicated and very beautiful, so I praised it. At that time, I felt that this material was quite familiar, but I didn't realize it at the time. That material is definitely not something that ordinary luxury businessmen can use. Although the clothing system is useless now, the family has money. Yes, I can afford good materials and make good clothes. But Mingzhang Jun’s works are different. You also know that my family is a businessman and is well-known in Suzhou. I have seen a lot of prosperity since I was young. Recently, I thought of what my elder brother had told me, and then I realized it. The clothes Mingzhang-jun wears are the tributes that my Liu family, which is the best at weaving in Suzhou, sends to the palace every year."

Xiao Lingyin suddenly remembered what the old ghost said when he possessed him, and suddenly seemed to understand a little more.

Oh, it turns out that he is a son of the clan.

Oh, so he didn't even tell me his real name.

Oh, it turns out that I should not exist in his eyes or in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at the city tower far away. The city wall was so high that it seemed to isolate everyone outside the city, but there was a sky and an underground separated by a wall.

Upstairs, the palace lanterns hung high, no one was seen walking, presumably the emperor was talking happily with the ministers.

He heard from his mentor that he had been striving for prosperity for many years, but now he has put away that thought long ago, and only seeks peace and happiness.

The misfortune brought by the Yongtai New Deal a few years ago has never subsided. In Liuzhou, the hometown of Shu, Xiao Lingyin heard from time to time that her mentor and visiting friends talked about it. About the new party and the old party, the situation was changing and there were endless disputes.

Today, the division between the Zhe Party and the Luo Party is just a continuation of the new party and the old party. Zhejiang, Luo and Wu are the birthplaces of the heads of the three parties. The disputes during the Yuantai New Deal, as well as the relegation blows, both parties suffered heavy losses, and the number of people involved was countless.

Compared with the constant disputes in previous years, the imperial court has been rather peaceful and peaceful in recent years.

Just because the current Prime Minister Yu Zhen, who is the head of the Zhejiang Party, and Wen Rucheng, the deputy head of the Luo Party, both came from the same discipline. The two were friends with each other and never attacked each other.

In addition, the old and new parties were mostly ideological disputes, and they were dedicated to serving the country. Although it affected grand events, it did not harm human lives.

Therefore, over the years, although there have been disputes between the old and new parties, they have not been major, and there has been a lot of mutual understanding.

Up to now, the leader of the Zhejiang Party and the Luo Party is even a good friend, which has improved the relationship between the two parties; and because of the establishment of the reserve, the two parties jointly boycotted Meishang and supported the Wu Party, the fourth prince from Concubine Liu Gui everyone.

Xiao Lingyin knew the reason why his mentor was unwilling to become an official. His mentor Xu Daoyuan was a student of Fan Chun who was appointed as the prime minister and started the Yuantai New Deal. He was well-known for his literary talent when he was young, and he was a proper member of the new party.It was only later that the old and the new parties attacked each other in the court, and the mentor was tired of the struggle, so he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, where he indulged in academic studies, devoted himself to writing books, and taught students in government-run academies in Shu.

Over the years, although he has never been an official, his reputation in the literary world has grown, and he was called a great Confucian in Sichuan by the people at that time.

Mr. Banshan, no one knows.

"Brother Xiao, do you still want to watch the lanterns here? I have an appointment with Xixi at Tonight Restaurant, I'm afraid I will be excused." Shen Fei said softly after a while.

"You go, I will naturally go to the hostel where we stayed when we came here today. You should also drink less alcohol at night, so as not to be as delirious as last time."

"Understood, don't worry, I will go back later."

"Then I'm leaving." Shen Fei said, before leaving, he whispered in Xiao Lingyin's ear again, "Brother Ziyu, I found that a little lady behind has been peeping at you, maybe she has her eyes on you."

Xiao Lingyin was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to scold a few words, but this Shen Fei was too informal, and he just said something stupid.

Turning around to see, Shen Fei had already walked far away quickly, and he still didn't forget to turn around and smile when he was about to leave.

The lights in the distance are bright, the street vendors are still selling, the guests in the restaurant are drinking and eating, and the melodious singing of the singers in the hall, the words are really rhyming, accompanied by the night wind, suddenly spread to the ears middle.

Xiao Lingyin smiled faintly, or the hustle and bustle of this world made her impetuous heart slowly sink.

The place where he was standing was not a good place to watch lanterns, and there were few people and remote places, but it was quite clean.

During the Lantern Festival, the moon is full, the Milky Way is dim, and the feeling of spring is not strong, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, with chills in between.

Turning around and walking forward a few more steps, I came to the river, watching the cruise ships floating on the river, but suddenly became confused.

so what?The love doesn't know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper.

"Xiao Lang!" Xiao Lingyin turned around to look, and saw a pretty little lady standing at the corner under the eaves.

Autumn water eyes, icy jade bones, originally in the shape of a bright moon, but rather charming.

The makeup is lightened, the black hair is light, the camellia red shirt is worn on the top, and the plum pattern half-pleated skirt is covered on the bottom.

Ning Ran worried, wanting to speak but not speaking.

Xiao Lingyin was surprised, he didn't know this lady.

But he vaguely sensed that this lady probably knew him, and she had a lot to say to him.

Ruan Liuzhu took a few steps forward with a graceful posture.

However, Xiao Lingyin felt that this person's behavior always added a sense of fragmentation. She looked at herself through time, with a slight vicissitudes, as if she was looking at another person.

"Xiao Lang, I came here this time only to tell you one thing. Don't believe it..." Ruan Liuzhu struggled a bit when she said it, at first she was calm, and then she was hard to say.

"Don't trust the third prince in the court, he is really not the talent of a wise king."

Xiao Lingyin asked back: "Who are you? I have never met you before?"

"I, I'm just an unknown person, not worthy of your concern..." Ruan Liuzhu frowned when she heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, "I know, if you don't believe me, you also feel strange, why do I know you?" Got you."

"A few days ago, I occasionally had a dream at night, as if it had been a lifetime. There were many people in the dream, and I recognized you in the dream." Ruan Liuzhu said softly, and sneaked another glance at the person in front of her.

Alas, he is still so handsome and extraordinary.

She and this person haven't seen each other for many years.

She had dreamed of remarrying, but she couldn't tolerate it.

Since she was once the concubine of the prince, how could she marry a courtier as his wife.

What's more, the person in front of him has never liked himself, he just has pity for himself.

What she knew, those longings had already been slowly dissipated in the dim and gloomy time, and she suddenly remembered it, as if it was the next day.

"I'm not lying to you, talking nonsense." Ruan Liuzhu met the man in front of him with a dazed expression, and continued, "I know that you have great ambitions and your chest is full of ambitions. It's just that the third prince is really not a wise king, he will misunderstand you." yours."

"Why did the lady say that?" Xiao Lingyin asked.

"During your night tour, if you go to guess the lantern riddles and meet a scholar named Lin Mingsheng, don't talk to him, just leave far away." Ruan Liuzhu said softly.

Xiao Lingyin frowned, could it be that the lady in front of her was like that old ghost.

Ruan Liuzhu said again: "I'm leaving, I hope you will go straight up in high school."

Xiao Lingyin never dissuaded her, only to see the little lady turn around and walk a few steps quickly, she paused, then turned back, turned around and said from a distance, "Xiao Lang, if you are in the court, you must remember that the Emperor's heart is difficult." You must not follow the emperor's true wishes. The one you can rely on is Zaifu. As for the eldest prince, he is a person of poor fortune, so don't rely too much on it. Remember, remember!"

After speaking, Ruan Liuzhu left in a hurry, and the maid at home was still waiting for her.

She couldn't help coming here like this.

At this Lantern Festival, she waited for a long time, searched for a long time, and finally found this person.

She was afraid, afraid of that person.

Although she didn't know much about Chaotang, she always kept in her heart the things related to this person in front of her.

She knew that this man and the third prince who would ascend to the throne and be called Yuan Xing Emperor met and got acquainted at the Lantern Festival.

How did she know about this? She could only say that it was all because of this face.

His nails brushed lightly over his face, which had been praised since he was a child, and he smiled coolly.

Does she still remember?At that time, she was living outside the city, and she was often worried about that person coming over.

How could she resist the majestic imperial power.

And that person, maybe he doesn't care about himself, all he wants to see is his body, and what else is there.

He comforted in a low voice, pampered him occasionally, often came to him from the palace, even bought her a house in the city, and told her in detail about his past when he was happy. The things about that man and Xiao Lingyin were That's how it sounds.

Maybe she was just a weak woman who relied on him and couldn't find his palm, that's why he was always talking about those absurd things in the court.

Sometimes, she sneered at herself, why she didn't die for so long, but lived on.

In the end, it was the future powerful minister of Jin who he had thought about before, who saved himself.

She also knew how the people in the court immediately denounced the ministers who supported him and followed him as partisans after the death of the powerful minister

, All dispatched to remote states, sick and dead.

The treacherous ministers in the court supported the little emperor, searched for the people's anointment, disregarded human life, were greedy for pleasure, and used power for personal gain.

She just watched with cold eyes like this, just waiting for herself to go.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the capital would be destroyed.

When Xia Bing came to the city, the emperor and his courtiers wanted to flee one after another, but she didn't know how it would end.

Suddenly recalling the scene when she was young in the palace with the eldest prince's biological mother, alas, she sighed again.

That's a good woman, what a pity.

She never thought of competing for favor, let alone her child ascending the throne.

The crown prince, the Eastern Palace, and the crown prince are dreams for others, but for the eldest prince, her meek and weak husband, most of the time, she has no choice but to follow the trend, and it is difficult to retreat.

When the crown prince died of illness, the birth mother cried bitterly and fainted when she heard about it. She stood aside and shed tears too.

Her husband is her reliance and the destination of her life.

However, for this unfavored concubine in the palace, it was her only flesh and blood, and it was her sustenance in this life.

Later, this elder sister fell ill, and she always said crazily, "It's the position of the prince that harmed him, and it's the position of the prince that harmed him.".

Ruan Liuzhu took care of her by the bed, listening to her words, how could she not feel uncomfortable.

Later, the elder sister said, "Liuzhu, you know how much regret I have in my heart. I hate, I hate that I didn't ask for my life in exchange for my son's life. If my son is not the prince, if he is not the prince, he will not go." .”

"I really regret that I didn't ask the emperor. If I had given up my life, the emperor would not have made him the crown prince. Those ministers were just using my son as a target. The emperor has always been because of me. Don't like my son, the prince, how can he do it."

When hearing this, Ruan Liuzhu faintly knew the reason why she was chosen as the crown princess.

Her ancestors did fight with the founding king of the Jin Dynasty, but they quickly declined.Up to her father's generation, they have been in business for many years, and their business is still good. They have set up several large shops in the capital, and they are quite rich.

She was elected, but it was the resentment of the emperor's compromise.

Suddenly, I thought of the conversation when my father came home with his good friends when he entered the official career in the early years.

The eldest prince's biological mother has gone, and that sister has gone.

The eldest prince was not established as the prince, but went to observe filial piety for his mother.

Ruan Liuzhu was taken aback, stopped, and looked at the turbulent crowd, she should have thought of it earlier.

The bustling market and the prosperous lamps, but they couldn't resist the sadness in her heart.

That sister, she should have ended it herself!

If this is not the case, how can we stop the long talk of those courtiers.

Filial piety is the first thing to do, and in order to fulfill filial piety, these court ministers can also stop for a while, allowing the gentle man who loves painting to enjoy a few quiet moments alone.

But, can he bear it?

Although they have been married for only two years, she already knew that the man was a serious lover.

"Tell me, is that lady the same as you? If you were me, then she..." Xiao Lingyin sighed while looking at the ever-flowing river.

Although Xiao Ziyu couldn't control his body, he still watched all this from the sidelines.

He didn't know that there were people who went back to the past like him, and it was no wonder that the current development was far from what he had experienced.

He knew that woman.

He even knew the affection in her eyes.

It was a miserable woman. Her husband died, but she was taken by force.

Yuan Xing, what a good Emperor Yuan Xing, after Emperor Yongping left, his posthumous title was Li, the third prince succeeded him, and his year name was changed to Yuan Xing, which was modeled after the name of Yuan Tai back then, meaning reform Ming Xing, Xiao Ziyu thought he was so Thought.

Unexpectedly, everything was a joke.

Improper conduct, wrong position, full of self-interest, unworthy to be king.

Who would have thought that the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, known as a wise and mighty emperor, was actually a faint king who forcibly took over his sister-in-law.

At the beginning, he didn't understand that it was him who seduced Ruan Shi.Later, he realized that he had to take care of himself.

Moreover, in the world, is there anything more absurd than an emperor who loves poisoning?

Poisoning one's elder brother to death, bewitching one's own sister-in-law, this is the way of a villain, and it is extremely miserable.

Just one word, cheated, cheated many ministers.

He is good at acting.

Xiao Ziyu sneered when he remembered the past.

Although he is a king, all he thinks about is power, his throne, his country, and his beauties.

Other than that, nothing else.

How can such a person be worthy of being a king.

He disdains.

He neglected the queen, favored the beauties, listened to Fang Dao, indulged in alchemy, only wanted longevity, and delayed the government.

Such a king has long lost his will to be a courtier, but he only relies on power to support him.

All his life refining poison, he didn't know how many things, in the end, he died under the poison he refined with his own hands.

Xiao Ziyu just wanted to smile.

He admits that he too is despicable and shameless.
