Twilight collected

When Han Xuan came back to his senses, he suddenly felt cold all over his body.

When he realized that his body was completely exposed, Han Xuan only subconsciously protected his privacy.But when his eyes first settled down and he found that the surroundings were pitch black, as if he was in a closet, he finally regained his composure.

"Is this true?" Han Xuan thought to himself, only to see a slender beam of light cast from the door of the cabinet, shining on his chest and eyebrows, making his skin like snow.

Sensing that there was something silk under his body, Han Xuan slightly propped up his body and pulled out the clothes under his body.In the dim light, it can be seen that it is a plain robe, darkly embroidered with blue green bamboos, and the two breasts are full of orchid patterns.

Recalling what the man said, Hanxuan put on the robe.This cabinet is so huge that Han Xuan can stand in it. When he got up, he touched the letter by his feet. On the letter paper, there was a bunch of orchids in light ink.

Hanxuan hesitated for a moment, and his timidity grew stronger. Even if he stood in meditation for a long time, he still couldn't understand.In the end, sweating in his hands, he gripped the short blade tightly and pushed the door away.

Outside the cabinet door is a boudoir, as far as the eye can see, it seems to be between Tang and Song Dynasties.It's just that the furnishings in the room are decayed, covered with cobwebs, and there is a lot of dust. It seems that no one has visited for a long time.

Han Xuan was dressed in plain clothes, with icy muscles and fine bones, and walked barefoot, stepping on the bluestone floor tiles, his feet were icy cold.

Seeing no one around, he hesitated again and again, still groping downstairs, trying to push the carved door to get out, the green peach spring branches painted on the door have long faded, only a few mottled spots remain, and Han Xuan can't help thinking about how scorching it must have been that day .

There was a long knock at the door hinge, and one could only see the black and distant mountains outside the small building, covering scattered blue tiles.Nearby are Shulan Jinying, dyed in smoke and exposed to dew; ancient trees in Huangxi, covered with new moss.There are mountain pavilions and rocks in the distance, green barriers; light haze rises from the gullies, and clouds and mountains meet.

Seeing this scene, Hanxuan felt relaxed and happy, and his fear was slightly reduced.In front of you is a mountain corridor winding down.Han Xuan tiptoed up the steps, wanting to find out what happened.

The corridor leads to a small pavilion, on which there is only the word "Jianxiu".Xiaoxuan is facing the mountain, and outside the Xuanxuan is a piece of greenery.Occasionally, a rhododendron pokes into the pavilion, full of freshness.There is a desk in the hall, and a young man is standing in front of the desk, splashing ink.

Looking closely, the young man's face is square and tough, his figure is tall and straight, and his black hair is tied under a green rope.

Hearing the sound, the young man raised his head, and Han Xuan only met a pair of dazzling eyes, like the clear sky and the sea, deep and infinite.

Han Xuan was almost obsessed, but when those eyes saw Han Xuan, they immediately made waves.

"Who are you? Who allowed you to wear this outfit?" The young man's voice was like a torrent, only awakening Han Xuan, and the fear in his heart rose like a tide.

"Are you Tianque?" Hanxuan asked timidly, knowing that he couldn't avoid it.

"Yes." Tian Que still looked at him with a frown.

"Your mother asked me to give this to you." Han Xuan took out the letter, walked forward slowly, put it on the case, and took a few steps back, standing alone in embarrassment.

Tian Que took down the letterhead, quickly opened it, read it hastily, and the cloud between his eyebrows dissipated a bit.He carefully folded the flower note and hid it in his sleeve.

The corner of Tianque's mouth stretched out for a moment: "Dare to ask the beauty's name?"

"My name is... Han Xuan."

"I don't know who the beautiful woman is?"

Han Xuan panicked for a moment, he didn't know anything about it, if he told the truth rashly, he was afraid that he would be exposed and become a target of public criticism.For the current plan, we should make up a false name first, but I am anxious to ask, how to make it up at this moment.

He suddenly remembered the word "Jianxiu" in Xuanshang's book, and replied: "'Leilei Qiao Song, Ling Feng is beautiful, and the sound is vibrating the valley', I come from the Lei family."

"Lei." Tian Que's smile grew stronger, "I'm afraid the mansion is going to be lively now, and there is one more person who'Lei Lei opens his eyes, towering and steadfast."

"My lord...you made fun of me." Hanxuan just changed his title accordingly, imitating his wording and conversation so as not to arouse suspicion.While he was concentrating, the mountain wind passed by, blowing a lap of orchids and green bamboos. Among the clothes, the jade body of Hanxuan occasionally appeared, and the spring scenery could not be concealed.

"Even if the skin is as thick as fat and the texture is exposed, it doesn't have to be just a piece of orchid and bamboo, where the finesse is exposed." Tian Que seemed to be joking, but Han Xuan was embarrassed. The feet on the stone are even more unbearable.

Tianque saw a pair of bare feet, skin like jade, delicate and delicate, only sighed lightly, strode towards meteors, picked up Hanxuan directly, and walked up the corridor.

Hanxuan was at a loss for a while, letting the warmth in Tianque's arms slightly guard against the cool breeze in the valley.When he came here for the first time and encountered this incident, Hanxuan didn't dare to indulge himself in the slightest, he only felt that every moment was full of fear and suffering.

After entering the pavilion, Tianque went straight up to the small building and put Hanxuan on the inner couch.This abrupt move made Hanxuan feel ashamed, but his temperament was weak, so he kept his clothes tight and turned his head to look at the mountains outside the Xuanxuan, not daring to look at Tianque's eyebrows.

Tianque walked up to the window, and with an urgent whistle, from time to time, a handsome young man would enter the pavilion, wearing light green clothes, standing respectfully in front of him: "My lord, did you call me?"

Tianque turned his head and replied: "Hanxuan is from his mother's family, and he will live in Roukege from now on, you can take care of it."

Han Xuan was at a loss and didn't say much.I just thought to myself: Xu from my mother's family means that I am recommended by Tianque's mother.And he called the son of Tianque...

Before he could think about it, the young man said to Han Xuan, "See you in Xiaorenxi, and see you, Lord."

Hanxuan didn't know how to respond, but Tianque laughed: "You are like my mother, you come here as a ghost." After saying that, he got up and left, "The painting is not finished yet, I'll go back first, you can take a rest."

Hanxuan on the couch, still at a loss, turned sideways inward, not daring to look at the stream, just staring at the dense forest of thousands of trees outside the window.Suddenly, I noticed that this pavilion is decorated with peach blossoms all over, and even on the green gauze, there is also that fragrant and soft red.

"Rou Ke Pavilion?" Han Xuan murmured, the word "Rou Ke" also refers to Nuan Chun Jia Rui.

"The take is 'Gu Tuo play children, don't break my soft Ke.'" Xi Jian said.

"'Next year will be the real deal, and Leilei will be your family.' is the infatuated words of the wife."

"It's really strange. As expected of the same family as Madam, what Miss and Wangfei said back then is exactly the same."

Listening to his words, Han Xuan felt unbearable, but he asked himself, since a person is already here, he wants to find a way to retreat when something happens, but he is unwilling in the end.Thinking up to this point, I wanted to find out more about this place, and finally looked back and asked the young man in front of me: "Have you seen Tianque's mother?"

"Yes. When the minister entered the mansion to serve, the princess was still in the mansion, so she lived here."

Recalling last night's words, Hanxuan probably guessed a little bit of the whole story, so he said more and more excuses: "I didn't know what happened back then, and I disturbed a good story by myself. The word Rou Ke is really excellent."

Xi Jian was noncommittal, and just said to himself: "Back then, the princess and the prince fell in love here, and the prince decided on the word 'Rou Ke' for the princess' daily life. I heard from the old man in the mansion that this place was just a small house in another courtyard. The building, used for viewing the mountains, has been in disrepair for a long time, and even the plaque is rotten. But one day, the princess walked out of the pavilion inexplicably, and met the prince at the Jixiu Pavilion at the foot of the mountain. The prince had a new funeral for his wife Not long after, she fell in love with the princess at first sight, so she married into the palace and became her step-concubine. The princess lived here all her life, and even gave birth to her son here, but..." The young man concentrating on his words for a moment, his eyes filled with sadness, "Madam is also here It’s been seven or eight years since I disappeared without a trace, and I haven’t heard from you.”

Han Xuan roughly understood the whole story, and said: "The princess is also involuntary, the princess is well now, and ask me to bring the letter to the son, you can rest assured."

Seeing that Xi Xi turned from grief to joy: "Miss is the princess's mother's family? Who is the princess at her mother's house?"

"Yes, they are all surnamed Lei." Han Xuan could only use his tricks and said vaguely, "Princess Xu sent me here because she missed her son..."

"The two concubines have gone to this prince's mansion for no apparent reason. It's really..." Seeing that Xu Shi realized that he had slipped his words, Xi turned around and said, "It's cold in the mountains, why does the lady only wear a cloak? I'll go get my shirt right away."

Xi Jian was dexterous, although Han Xuan was not used to it, he still let him put on underwear, shoes and socks for himself.Seeing the person who didn't seem to be deceitful, Jian Xi asked cautiously: "I just met... the prince... is the prince in the mansion?"

"My lord was recruited by the emperor to discuss matters in Beijing, and he hasn't come back after going there for two months." Xi Jian's eyes were sad, "Now the emperor is in a daze, and there are many powerful families in the harem. The middle palace died early, and the leading palace is old. Concubine Yangui monopolizes the harem, and her father and brother made waves in the previous court, and we have no one to take care of us in the palace, so I'm afraid it will be..."

Seeing the few words in the stream, Han Xuan understood the turbulence in it, and his heart trembled.Hearing about the things in the palace for the first time, he can generally understand, but there is only one point that is unclear, so he asked: "Leading the palace?"

Xi Jian looked up, slightly stunned: "You don't know about the palace?"

Seeing that he was timid, Hanxuan couldn't help feeling guilty, and barely covered it up: "When I was at my mother's house, in order to make the children at home study at ease, I was not allowed to ask about the affairs of the palace. Even the emperor and generals only knew a little bit from the drama. Two. Sending me out now would make people laugh."

Hearing this sentence, Xi had an unfathomable suspicion in the meeting, and said: "Miss, you are serious. There are two divisions in the inner palace, the leading palace and the secret palace, to assist in the affairs of the palace. The secret palace only For the matter of old age, everything else depends on the palace leader, but there is one thing that is most important, and that is the lock and key in the palace."

"Lock key? Isn't it Habayashi's job to guard defense?"

At this time, Xi Jian's face was a little red: "This 'key' is not the 'key'. The servants in the palace, in order to prevent inappropriate things while on duty, all have to wear a shackle on their lower body. Then take it off, and the lock and key of this thing will be managed by the palace secretary. The palace commander commands the servants in the palace, has the highest authority in the palace, and restricts the harem. It can also be said that it is a matter of the court. With its protection, everyone can feel at ease."

Seeing that Xixi was shy, Hanxuan stopped mentioning the palace: "What do you mean by the so-called 'old age'?"

After these words, the thick clouds over Xi met, she kept her mouth shut for a moment, and then said softly: "Miss... are you from...there?"

Han Xuan was shocked for a moment, he could not speak, his left hand was firmly holding down the small knife in his sleeve.

Seeing Hanxuan turn pale, Xijian Wenran said: "Miss, there is no need to be afraid. I have served my wife closely for several years, and I can guess many things. I made it clear to the lady that it is only to relieve the lady's worries, and has no other intentions."

"Then... where are you from?"

"I'm not. Don't worry, miss. I don't intend to do this either. For several years, Madam always came back from there with a look of displeasure. It's not a safe place to come here."

Han Xuan nodded slightly, and took a long time to say: "Then...the son...does he know..."

"Your Majesty thinks you don't know. Madam keeps a secret about this matter. Even I have served for many years before I got any clues. Madam studied riding and archery since he was a child, and he rarely lived with Madam since he was sensible. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out."

Only then did Han Xuan feel relieved, seeing Xi Jian's face was calm, his guard gradually lost, and he mentioned what he had just said: "The secret palace secretary, where is it?"

Xi Jian smiled: "No wonder you don't know. Before Madam left, I saw Madam's white hair, and there was only one biggest difference between the two places. The people here are always young, and since they were young, they can last for decades. However, Once the flower hair begins to grow, there is no room for turning around. Ordinary people will die in just one year. Even if they are well maintained, it will not take more than ten months. But the taboo in the palace, they only want to see the flowers blooming like a brocade, and do not want to see this decay. Sadness, if someone's fate declines, the Secretary of the Secret Palace will send him out of the palace. Life and death are the most important, and the right to live and die can be compared with the palace."

Han Xuan lost his mind for a moment, the two worlds are so different, it is really not easy to think about everything without leaving any traces.

Seeing Chun Shan in the river, Han Xuan felt a little trusting, and asked a more personal question: "It's strange to say, Tianque knew that I was... a woman at the first sight, I thought I was describing my stature. Look, it should be hard to tell."

The pavilion was old and dirty, Xi Jian cleaned it and said calmly: "Although men and women in this world are very different in face and body shape, one can still see one or two in temperament and posture. Since then A man's umbilical cord will automatically detach from the mother's womb, and there is no need to cut it after birth. Therefore, a man's navel is very small and has no knots; while a woman's umbilical cord must be cut and tied after birth because she wants to have children. You are only wearing a robe, I am afraid that the prince accidentally saw the belly."

Xi Jian talked and laughed, but it made Han Xuan feel overwhelmed: "I'm new here, I'm not used to the rules, and I'm afraid of right and wrong, so please give me some advice."

"Miss, you don't need to be polite." Xi Jian smiled knowingly, "Since the concubine escaped, the prince has no continuation. The only princesses in the mansion are Tianruo, the princess born from the concubine, and Tianque, the son born to the concubine. There are not many people serving in the house, so no one cares about those red tapes, so the miss is relieved."

"Tianruo...Tianque..." Hanxuan played with taste, "They are all good names, one is 'Clean up the old mountains and rivers, Chaotianque', the other is 'If the sky has love, the sky will be old'; a man is great, and a woman is affectionate." Han Xuan turned to look at the boy, "Your name is Xijian?"

"Yes."

"'Sitting and looking at the mangroves, you don't know how far away, and you can't see people when you go to the Qingxi River.' It's also not bad."

"The name is chosen by the madam. The madam is a great favor to me."

Hanxuan saw that Xi Jian was a little lonely, so he gently held Xi Jian's hand, "Since you and I have made it clear, I will rely on you to take care of me and take care of everything."

"That's natural." Xi Jian also smiled, "It's getting late, let's go eat."

Meals are served in the Xiaoyao Pavilion in Yunlu. The palace is built on the hillside. The front court is on the plain below the mountain. The house is also different from that there.

Although it was late at night when Hanxuan came, it was dusk here.At this time, the clouds at the top of the mountain were like fire, and the valley was filled with warm colors.Xijian accompanied Hanxuan down the mountain corridor.

When you gradually enter the valley, you can see a garden under the corridor, which is a bergamot with luxuriant branches and leaves, green leaves, fresh flowers and Danyan.There is a swing hidden among the lush greenery, and a beautiful woman sits on the swing, leaning on the rope, singing softly.That beauty's complexion was moon-white, her jade was flawless, her brows were clear and shallow, and she looked like she was raised in a boudoir without knowing the world.Dressed in beige yarn, it moves with the evening wind.

The red halo of the setting sun falls in the garden, and the greenery is dotted with soft light. The beautiful woman whispers softly in the haze of the setting sun.The branches and leaves, together with the plain yarn, sway slightly with the rise and fall of the swing.According to what Han Xuan saw and said, he concluded that he was in the same category as himself here, but even so, Han Xuan had not seen such a carefree face for a long time, so he couldn't help but stop and take a closer look.

After watching for a while, the beautiful woman's eyes shifted, and she was looking at Hanxuan in the corridor, with a shy expression on her face. Hanxuan knew that she had lost her composure, so she left in a hurry and went to the Xiaoyao Pavilion in Yunlu over there.

"Miss Lei is here." Xi saw Fu Hanxuan entered, and there were several small tables in the hall with some dishes on display.

Walking around in the courtyard was the housekeeper, Uncle Yue, with a kind face.Seeing Hanxuan, even though he didn't know his identity, he saluted slightly to show respect.

When Tianque saw Hanxuan coming, he had a friendly face and only said: "Sit down."

Beside him is a man, who seems to be in the age of [-], with a burly figure, Han Xuan looked closely, only to feel that there is a kind of elusive strangeness on his face.Recalling what Xijian said, the people here are young for a long time, but aging rapidly.With such vicissitudes on this man's face, he must be older.

Hanxuan secretly sighed, the beauty of the people here is always there, and the world must be envious of that place, but he thought about it, it is hard to say whether this is really a blessing.

"I don't know who is the beautiful woman?" Seeing the stranger sitting at the table, the man joked, slightly disrespectful.

"Lei Hanxuan, from my mother's house." Tianque said flatly, then turned his head to Hanxuan, "Si Chengping is my father's old minister."

"I've seen you." Xi Jian carefully pushed Han Xuan's elbow, Han Xuan Xiaowu, just imitating everyone's behavior, and saluted slightly.

"I'm afraid my sister is still in the pavilion, you sit down for a while." Tian Que thought about Han Xuan with only a few words, not to be left out, nor to be courteous.After saying that, he turned his head and continued to chat with Si Chengping: "According to the report from the palace, the 40 troops in the southeast and southeast of the king's hands have all been brought into the hands of His Majesty. It may be dangerous for my father to go here."

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what are you afraid of him?" Si Chengping said loudly, "Which family is not three-point solid and seven-point weak, after all, it is more guarding the house. Besides, the military power is all in one place, and it is difficult to dispatch. Say, how many military books has the Holy Majesty read before? After all, he is in a cocoon. It would be great if the admiral of Nine Cities took all the soldiers and bravery in his hand, and he can be a unique general."

"I don't know why, the conversation is so interesting?" A voice came from behind, as if frost and snow were falling with the wind.Looking back, I saw a graceful beauty, dressed in red, with a jade face and a chubby waist, coming gracefully.Looking closely at the face of the beauty, the lips are as red as peaches, and the eyebrows are like green willows and catkins. The beauty is beautiful, but the face is frosty, the eyes are raised and the jaws are slashed, showing a sharp and sharp attitude.

"Old minister speaks quickly, Princess Haihan." Si Chengping said it simply.Seeing Xi leaning over to salute, Tian Ruo didn't care.

If Tianruo glanced at Hanxuan, carrying the wind and snow, Hanxuan was uneasy for a while, like the wind in the north.

"I don't know who's Biyu?" Tian Ruo said with a smirk, but he didn't look at Han Xuan carefully, and only glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

Tian Que naturally spoke up to resolve it: "Mother's family, Lei Hanxuan, lives in Rouke Pavilion. In the future, I will need my sister to take care of me at home."

But Tian Ruo said: "Your mother's family is not mine, how can I take care of it? Since I dare to send her into the mansion, naturally Lan Xinhui is exquisite in every way, why should I take care of her?"

Hanxuan didn't expect that the frost and snow would hit his head and face, so he just kept silent.Even Tianque's face is troubled.

Fortunately, another guest came at this time. From the footsteps, one can tell that he is a heroic young man, with vigorous blood and walking like the wind.

Si Chengping spoke first: "Nephew Xiao Xian is long overdue."

Everyone followed the sound and looked, and they really saw a handsome young man striding forward.The young man has a square face, dark complexion, and a sword eyebrow that is really heroic, just because he is young, he still has a bit of childishness.Han Xuan slandered, fearing that this person's family is prominent, otherwise he would not be allowed to sit at this table.

Tianque was afraid that Hanxuan still cared about what Tianruo said, so he took the initiative to introduce this time: "My mother's cousin, Lei Hanxuan." Then he turned to Hanxuan and said, "Xiao Yu, his grandfather was the general of the Yi Kingdom during the reign of Emperor Linhuang. His father followed his father, and now the son inherits his father's footsteps, even though he is young, he has fought hundreds of battles and has made great achievements."

Han Xuan nodded to signal, the young man over there bowed his hands and saluted, his movements were resolute, and his armor was windy.

Everyone was seated, and Tianque raised his glass first: "The world is in turmoil today, and I'm afraid it's the time when heroes come out in large numbers. If you win two generals, you will surely be able to skyrocket, and this life will not be in vain."

For a while, the cups were flying and drinking, and the cups were staggered.During the banquet, most of the family and country affairs were among the men, if the sky didn't make much noise, Han Xuan was even more silent.

After drinking for three rounds, Han Xuan clearly caught Xiao Yu's anxiety, his speech was slightly perfunctory and dull, and his eyes were sometimes distracted, as if he was staring at something intentionally.

Xiao Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer, the most enjoyable part of the banquet was over, and the banquet was a little lonely, so he got up and asked to leave: "It's really not suitable for people who practice martial arts to drink with a full stomach, and should taste hunger and cold at the right time. , I realized that meritorious deeds are not easy, and I still have to work hard. Today, I thank the prince for the banquet, and I will retire first."

Tian Que and Si Chengping were chatting happily, but Xiao Yu just waved his hand, and Xiao Yu turned around and left.Hanxuan sat on the side seat, and saw a ray of joy in his face, as if meeting amnesty.

"My son," Hanxuan also got up, "It's getting late, and the road to Roukege is far away, so I'm going to retire."

Coming down from the hut, the sky is as dark as ink, except for the setting sun, and the southeast is full of stars.In early summer, there are fireflies in the mountains, dotted in the garden.Geng Geng Milky Way, the blue sky is like washing, and the fireflies are shining under it, flying back and forth among the dew grass, it is even more quiet.

Passing through the garden, there is one more person on the swing, and between them, there is a brocade box and a plate of green balls.

The two of them mostly faced each other quietly, with a slight smile on their faces, and occasionally spoke.

On the left of the swing is Xiao Yu, with a little bit of crimson still visible in that dark face.

The remnant red is almost exhausted, the galaxy is scattered, the time is shining, the frame is full of green leaves, a swing, and the same loving couple. It really makes people sigh, only in such a youthful age can they have such a clear and clear face.

Han Xuan is still obsessed with it.Seeing Han Xuan like this, Xi said softly behind him: "These two are childhood sweethearts."

"There are countless idiotic men and women who hate women in the world, and there are a few pairs like this. They are just envious of thousands of people in the world." Han Xuan smiled wryly, and asked: "Whose family does that woman belong to?"

"This girl's name is Junyue, and she is also the daughter of an old minister. She just came to fief the land with the prince, and she is no longer as prominent as in the raging waves."

"'May I be like the star king like the moon, and the night and night streams are bright and clean.' Even if the king marches east to the east mountain, west to the west wind, the car is far away and the horse is on the road, the two loves are like this, and the gods dare not darken the moon to cover the stars."

The two of them sighed a little, then went to Rouke Pavilion.Looking far away, Tianruo also returns to his own pavilion.

"I don't know where the princess lives?" Han Xuan asked.

"Moon Ru Pavilion, although they each occupy the top of the mountain, they echo our Rouke Pavilion from a distance." Xi Jian said.

"'The moon is like no hate and the moon is always round', he is also known as Tianruo." Han Xuan sighed, "It's all Bai Hua's grievances."

"Since the concubine's departure, the princess has seen all the favor of the king and gone, and the love goes with the waves. The pain in it is hard to explain."
