sick white moonlight

"Tell me, what should I do?" Instead of pressing himself down, he stood in front of him, blocking the entrance when he came in. His two sword eyebrows were tightly locked, his facial features were handsome and sharp, and the moonlight shining through the eaves was shining brightly. With a chill, his face became more and more serious, and he could only hear his voice intermittently.

"What should I do with you?"

He An didn't make a sound at first, but the expression in his eyes quickly faded.

He took a few steps back and smiled again, full of regret and loss.

"Not really, just getting to know each other..." He An whispered.

"That's enough, don't say any more." Xiao Lingyin shuddered and shouted loudly, immediately interrupting the person in front of him.

"Why don't you say it? I just want to say it. Xiao Lingyin, stop deceiving yourself and others." He An took a few steps back and explained word by word with a smile.

"In this world, it will never be tolerated. You and I will marry wives and have children. If you and I take a step back, we will be good friends. Could it be a good story? Love and love are all small things. You want the imperial examination to be a good friend?" Officer, I also have a request, we shouldn't be walking on the same road. I don't want to have any intersection with you again." He An said bluntly.

"I don't believe it." Xiao Lingyin took a few steps back and struggled.

"If you don't believe it, don't believe it. The truth is the truth. I can't do it halfway, and I have nothing to say. I have important things to do. Get out of the way. I want to go out." The person standing in front of He An looked again. It is a sidewalk that is narrow and only allows two people to pass through it alone.

Xiao Lingyin gave up the space in frustration, leaned against the wall, lowered her head slightly, looked at the person in front of her who turned sideways, and was about to leave, with her skirt fluttering like a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace, just like this person It was as if he had never appeared by his side.

What kind of fantasies do I have? It is obvious that what he said is half right, but he is obviously not the same person.

The royal family, with the word "imperial", seems to have completely shattered all the assumptions it had made.

What virtue can he ask for?He can give him nothing, and he doesn't need anything of his own.

It's just that, after all, I'm still not reconciled.

"Wait." An urgent shout came from beside his ears, He An didn't turn around, and looked straight at the street in front of his sight, the lanterns at the corner of the street were dizzy, emitting low light and shadow.

He walked quickly, expressionless.

Xiao Lingyin lowered her head, feeling the wind brought by her actions, and suddenly hugged the waist of the person in front of her with all her strength.

"Don't go!" You wrapped his wet hands tightly and struggled, but the words in his mouth were still weak and humble.

His heart trembled, his footsteps stopped slightly, and he finally said: "Enough."

Slowly lowering the hand on the waist, He An secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but felt a little bit of strange astringency.

Yeah, maybe he really is that guy.

What can be let go, what can't let go.

Just like in the last life, they didn't let go, as if nothing happened, just deceived themselves and others like that, and became familiar and acquainted friends.

They have their own business, and so do they.

Those are two completely different domains that do not intersect with each other, and there is little connection when traveling in various countries.

"Chu Yan, don't lie to him." Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind.

He An stopped walking, his subconscious mind was blank.

Looking up at the sky, it's not past midnight.

"Don't lie to me anymore." The man behind whispered slowly.

Obviously, this is not the person who spoke to him before.

He An was stunned, losing the focus of his vision.

The person behind him is very scheming, and he didn't want to deceive this person for a long time.

Some time ago, I angered him, but I wanted to delay it for a while.

"Don't worry, I won't look for you, and I won't let him bother you again." Xiao Ziyu promised, looking at the thin and frail body of the person in front of her, she suddenly realized that a new vitality had emerged.

He was different from anything he'd encountered before, he was acutely aware.

The person in front of him was thinking about himself, thinking about his future.

The battle for the throne will always involve a lot of people. Even if the Jin Dynasty imposed more restrictions, there were still many cruel incidents about the struggle for imperial power.

Power is always accompanied by blood.

Standing at the top is always full of bones.

There are very few people who can skyrocket without being stained with half a drop of blood.There are winners and there are losers.

The intimacy between the prince and his courtiers is not a good thing.

Even though he is only a scholar now, he is very clear about his goal.

Xiao Ziyu did not deny his yearning for power.

Only with power can he do what he wants, and his visions can be realized.

It's just that he suddenly didn't understand the person in front of him.

Xiao Ziyu probably knows what kind of person he is. He has no desire for power, and he is even willing to be lonely.

However, I dragged him into this whirlpool.

Although, I know that this kind of thing is unavoidable.

However, the heart that has been cold for so many years has become a little warmer, which I have never experienced for many years.

Those things that could have mastered him, those weaknesses, but he gave up.

His heart is too soft.

Xiao Ziyu sighed silently.

"That's good." There was a faint voice in front of him.

The man wanted to leave, Xiao Ziyu quickly stopped the man, pressed down heavily from behind, looking for the remaining half of the man's warmth, leaned against the back of the man, and said slowly.

"He just gave up control of his body, did you know that?"

He An was taken aback for a moment, and remained silent.

"He didn't want to face all these established facts, so he gave up. You are so good at lying." He suddenly buried himself tightly on his shoulders, and said angrily with a childish air.

"If you want to piss me off, you will be comfortable."

"Fortunately, I understand and come back to my senses."

"He's very distressed, I know that." The man's hot breathing lingered in his ears, with a little sense of confusion.

This is really rare. In most cases, he is always calm and calm, rarely makes mistakes, and even reveals his true thoughts.

"He's very scared, actually..." Xiao Ziyu clasped those cold hands tightly and held them in his palms. He leaned against the body in front of him, gently touching the exposed skin, feeling the A slight heat to confirm the existence of the person in front of him.

"I'm really scared, too." The man continued to whisper, "If so, I'll lose again...I know that not everything can be under my control."

"However, I have to tell myself and comfort myself that it doesn't matter, I can succeed. If I lose my fighting spirit, how should I face this world, which I am familiar with but also unfamiliar with?"

"What is there to be afraid of? He doesn't know what true despair is." Xiao Ziyu said angrily again.

"On that day, the army going north was supposed to win a complete victory, but it was cut off because of the cooperation between the inside and the outside. The poisonous arrow was shot from the back, and it was thorough and precise. At that moment, I was in great pain, but I can't bear the pain in my heart. I understand that all the years of hard work have been wiped out." He choked up and his tone became weaker and weaker.

"In this world, the most powerless thing is not that it can't be done, but that it could have been done. But I can only laugh, so what if I don't laugh."

The dampness penetrated through the light clothes, but it was not cold, but warm.

He An stopped, quietly, he has always been a quiet and peaceful character, good at listening.

"From the moment when I fell from the horse, I thought a lot. I know that I ended up like this, but I have to blame myself. It's just that I'm not reconciled." Xiao Ziyu said fiercely.

"I can not be reconciled."

Xiao Ziyu let go of the person in front of him, calmed down his emotions, his crow-colored brows were heavy, and his eyes looked at the distant sky.

"He wants me to tell you a word, and he is willing to wait."

"Even if it's a lifetime."

"What do you think?" Xiao Ziyu asked slightly sarcastically.

Without waiting for others to speak out, he judged again: "It is indeed the love of children."

"He is willing to see you marry a wife and have children, be harmonious and beautiful. I don't believe it. I never believed it."

Speaking of this, his voice became more and more shallow and long, and finally he was extremely sure.

"He can't bear it, because I can't bear it either."

"I..." Just as he opened his mouth, He An couldn't continue.

"Stop talking, I don't want your promise, your lies and deceit. I'm willing to believe you." Xiao Ziyu whispered.

"Just let me be a fool like him. It's better to be a fool for the rest of my life and never think about anything else."

"Since you have chosen this path, don't regret it. I don't want you to regret it, and I don't want to regret it myself. I will give you what you want; I will do what you don't want to do. You know, I can do it." Xiao Ziyu He gently hugged the person in front of him, closed his eyes, as if in a dream.

"He can do it too." Xiao Ziyu closed his eyes and said softly.

How do you know what is on my mind?He An sighed silently.

A thousand words, but a sigh at the end.

In the end nothing was said.

Just let time go through all of this slowly, and he is not willing to argue about the rest.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, the major affairs of the court gradually focused on the imperial examinations.

Once every three years, it is the practice of the DPRK and China.

The imperial court selected about five people as the chief examiners, leaving a choice.In the end, there were two examiners who were announced. One was Gao Ping, a Hanlin scholar who was born in the Jiangdong area, who was well-known in Korean and Chinese diction, and was also the second place in the third year of Yuantai. , both of them are well-known for their literary talents, and their reputations have always been clean and honest.

It's just that everyone in the court knows that Gao Ping can barely be regarded as a faction of the Luo Party, while Lin Taichu has always been favored by the chief assistant, Tong Pingzhang Shi Yuzhen, and is a proper supporter of the Zhejiang Party. balance.

On February 16, Yongping 25, the provincial examination officially started, and lasted for three days, they were eliminated in different stages.

The two chief examiners have long locked their boudoirs in accordance with the usual practice. During the examination period, they are temporarily isolated from the outside world to prevent entrustment.

On the day of the exam, Shen Fei and Xiao Lingyin went together, there were many scholars in front of the courtyard, but they didn't dare to disturb them, the government soldiers were stationed outside, there were a lot of patrolling officials, and there were several officials from the Tribute Academy to inspect the entrance and exit.

As early as some time ago, the scholars who came to Beijing to rush for the exam reported to the Ministry of Rites early on that they had obtained the qualifications for the exam, and the same was true for Xiao Lingyin and Shen Fei.On the day of the examination, the scholars were inspected and inspected one by one, took their license plates, and entered their own examination room shop, waiting for the distribution of examination questions.

Three days later, outside the examination room, Xiao Lingyin finally sighed as he looked at the gate officer who was still waiting in front of the courtyard.

He has been studying since he was a child, and he has studied hard for many years, and now he is twenty years old, and his success or failure is no more than this time.

When you grow old, fame and fame will change, and you will only take the thin horse for the long distance.From the arc village to Xiaoyou, the lights are on, and there are people who read at night.

Reading is difficult, and imperial examinations are difficult.

In today's world, scholars all stay up all night studying and applying for exams, in order to get a job and shine on the lintel.

"The Fu I made before was still a bit off the mark." After hearing this sentence in his mind, Xiao Lingyin twitched the corners of his eyebrows that were aching.

From that day on, after somehow he was able to hand over control of his body to the old ghost, the two were able to exchange ideas in their minds.At first, the communication was much easier, but then there were constant quarrels.

How can Xiao Lingyin not be angry when people say that this place is not good enough and that place is not good enough every day.

Of course, he also knew that his knowledge was not as good as that old ghost.

But Xiao Lingyin thinks that he still has something better than the old ghost, and that is Qi.

The old ghost was too scheming, thinking about the past and the future, but lost some of the vigor and sharpness to go forward.

Naturally, the old ghost couldn't match his concentration on learning. He had too many things in his heart.

At first, Xiao Lingyin humbly accepted the old ghost's comments.

But every day said, every night said, Xiao Lingyin couldn't stand all kinds of accusations and criticisms of herself once she was said to hurt her.

Fortunately, as the imperial examination was approaching, the old ghost finally knew how to restrain himself.

But once the exam is over, he still doesn't let himself go.

Xiao Lingyin did it himself on the first and last day of the three-day exam, and the old ghost answered the second day.

Xiao Lingyin admitted that the old ghost's answer was indeed more stable than his, and his skill still needs to be improved.

But he really wanted to stop for a while and take a good rest.

Moreover, I haven't seen the inscription for almost a month.

This day is really long and difficult.

Weird!Weird!

"You look for him, but he doesn't see you either." Xiao Ziyu said coolly.

"If I go, there is a [-]% chance of seeing the inscription; but you, I'm afraid you won't see it at all." Xiao Lingyin laughed as he walked, and said sarcastically in his mind.

For a while, Xiao Ziyu couldn't find any words to refute.

If you say that your own is not pleasing, why doesn't Xiao Ziyu know.

That person appreciates sincere people more, and he is so obsessive, so naturally he can't avoid it.

Just, so what.

Some things, after all, have to be done by a cruel person like him.

The night is getting darker and the moon is rising.

Scholars taking the exam in the courtyard left the exam room one after another, Xiao Lingyin hid in a corner outside, waiting for Shen Fei to come out.

Not surprisingly, Shen Fei, who was walking towards him, surrounded several scholars, and after introducing each other a few times, they discussed going to the restaurant together, having tea and wine to celebrate.

On the way, another scholar who was familiar with Shen asked with a smile, "Brother Shen, aren't you going to look after Xixi today?"

Shen Fei was also direct, and said: "Recently, I have been shy in my pocket, and I will only go after a few days."

"Don't lie to me and wait for the two of you. How can you be so shy? Before the exam, I saw you bought a famous painting for a hundred taels in Zheng's painting workshop. Didn't you get kicked out by Xixi not long ago? The restaurant is closed, because I have offended Xixi, so I don't want to touch her bad luck these days."

For a moment, everyone burst into laughter and said: "I don't know, brother Shen is actually afraid of women."

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise." Shen Fei sighed again and again.

"This is why Brother Chen doesn't understand women's thoughts. If you annoy her, you must go there early, bear the humiliation, and serve you attentively. She will definitely change her mind. She is annoyed on her lips, but she is very concerned about you in her heart. Like Brother Shen Avoid it, stay a few days before going, I'm afraid the beauty won't even want to see you."

After Shen Fei heard about it, he asked in a low voice: "Could it be true? Then tomorrow, I'll go look for Xixi. I only hope that she will be lenient and show mercy."

Everyone laughed, and some good people gave him a lot of ideas.

At this moment, in the palace.

In the Minhui Palace where Concubine Liu Gui lived, it was rare and quiet.

Most of the maids serving in the palace retreated, leaving only two people serving in front of the palace.

In front of the vanity mirror, the imperial concubine was sitting upright, looking at the swaying face in the mirror, her face was fair and delicate, her brows were dark and slightly thick, and the end was slightly raised, her expression was calm and gentle, her eyes seemed to have a faint smile. melancholy.

Behind him, the emperor held a jade comb, and slowly combed the black hair mixed with a few strands of white hair in front of him.

Although round and fair, without any signs of hard work, but still inevitably wrinkled due to age, when he brushed his hair in front of his face, he let out his voice slowly.

"Fei'er, you and I are getting old, and Zhen'er is about to grow up. Don't you and I know that Zhen'er was pampered and raised by you and me since she was a child, and she has never suffered much. What's more, the honor of an emperor has a lot of hard work. , how can Zhen'er bear it. Let him be a vassal king and enjoy his life in peace!"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Liu Gui read with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Don't worry, Yan'er is kind-hearted and tolerant. He will treat Zhen'er well, and I will make good arrangements for Zhen'er."

Concubine Liu Gui sobbed softly, but quickly calmed down, and said: "I know your Majesty's feelings for my concubine, and I dare not ask for too much. Up to now, your majesty loves me so much that I can't repay you. I can only be cautious every day. It's just that my eldest brother doesn't like to compete with others, and I'm afraid that he will be deceived by the people in the palace in the future, after all, there are a lot of people in the palace who are jealous of me."

"Fei'er, don't worry." Emperor Yongping knew that Concubine Liu Gui was worried that the Empress would have a lot of opinions on her, so he comforted him, "All the ministers in the court absolutely don't like women governing. The eldest brother has been safe and proper recently, and the concubine mother has also been in trouble in recent years. For you to change, don't worry too much, lest you hurt your body, besides, Gu is still there."

"Your Majesty, this concubine is not annoyed..." Concubine Liu Gui was also moved when she heard the emperor's words, and said in a low voice.
