Twilight collected

The crystal curtain is half-opened, and the stars and silver candles are shining brilliantly.

The night wind came on tiptoe, and lightly lifted the palace beads, only to see the galaxy outside the curtain, and Langsheng was extremely clear.

Tomorrow, Liang Xun will be married off. Today, in Gu Yuan Palace, there are jade platforms, precious mirrors, Qiong Yao and Luo Cui everywhere.The light of gold and jade, like flowing clouds and mist, is clustered in clusters, so that people have nowhere to look.

The temple has never been so bright.In the past, when the sky was in place, the palace was always only a little dark, as if this Guyuan Palace, and its owner, were always quiet and never happy.

Hanxuan stepped into the inner room, on the dressing table, only the beautiful face of jade, cicadas and cloudy hairpins could be seen.The blush under Liang Xun's eyelids flickered with the candlelight, as if he was ashamed.

Han Xuan looked at him, his still demure face was distorted for a moment amidst the shining eyes.

Liang Xun swept across Emei lightly, it seemed that those past indifference and forbearance had long been buried in this city of gold and jade.Perhaps his brows are still a little light, but no matter how serious he is, the makeup on his face is already thick.

"I'm going to get married tomorrow." Han Xuan stood behind him in pink, not as good as Liang Xun in bright red.

"Yes." Liang Xun replied shallowly.Did not look into the mirror, nor look back.There was just a hint of joy between the brows, which was gently buckled by the golden bead tassel.

"Finally I made my own choice." Behind Han Xuan, with a pair of plain hands, gently caressed Liang Xun's cheeks that were well-balanced.

"Yes." Liang Xun said, "No regrets."

The two remained silent, for some reason, Han Xuan looked at the mountains of gold and jade reflected in his eyes, and felt that there was always a slight sadness in his eyes.

"Yesterday, the love was lingering, but in the future, we will be living in different places. Yesterday is the difference between cloud and mud. In the future, we will raise our eyebrows. No matter how loving a fairy couple is, the road ahead will not be easy." Hanxuan said.

"I understand."

"Even though I have asked many times, it is inevitable that I will lose my heart."

Liang Xun lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's okay. Even if he can lie to me for a few years, it will be a spring breeze."

Han Xuan sighed lightly: "If I hadn't been suspicious of Tian Que and used it for myself, I wouldn't have let you suffer these years."

"You don't have to worry about it. If it weren't for this, how could there be a good relationship today?"

"You and I met before we were young, I can't think of anyone else who can help me."

"This matter has not hurt me from the beginning to the end. Now that I have become a beloved man, you don't have to feel ashamed." Liang Xun lowered his eyes, "It's only now that I realize that liuguang is the place where people's hearts are settled."

"That's right. There are ups and downs here for several years, and there is always a time to retreat. When I think of the time and place when I came, it seems that the scene here is just empty, like a dream, like quicksand in the palm of my hand, and I can't hold it in the end. .”

"I think you are the same as me. You grow old with each passing year. Only when you choose a place to live can you feel at ease."

Liang Xun's eyelashes were like flying wings, and his style patted together. Finally, in a polite way, he revealed a trace of hidden worry: "You don't need to be in a hurry this time. The late emperor married a concubine not long ago, and outsiders may want to say that you are better than the late emperor. If you are disrespectful, you are even more afraid that someone with a heart will suspect you of being a secret agent, and you will make another move."

Hanxuan was silent, he was hindered by all kinds of worries.On the surface, Xun'er has no intention of plotting, but in his heart, he actually understands everything, but he just doesn't bother to dip his hand in this muddy water.

"You know, the nine-layered painted building with the flying eaves is full of dangers, not every dynasty has a tomorrow." Both of them understood that Han Xuan meant Xiao Yu, "I can't wait."

The two were silent for a long time, only the golden clouds and emerald mist in the hall trembled slightly with the candlelight.

At this time, Jing Yan entered the hall, dressed in a neat summer insect color, all the palace people in the hall greeted each other one by one, although they were speechless, it was already quite a battle.

"Back then, I only thought he was smart and capable, but now he is more aggressive." Liang Xun said in a low voice, and looked up at Han Xuan. Seeing the seriousness in Han Xuan's eyes, he said with a smile, "Fortunately, there is Concubine Jing." Sister Zhouquan, I, a useless person, can take a break with peace of mind."

"It's rare for Jing Yan to do things calmly and meticulously." Han Xuan said, the two turned around to see Jing Yan approaching gracefully, very energetic.Under the candlelight, a crown with red branches and drunk stamens is even more brilliant.

Here, even under Liang Xun's full makeup, he can also see his brows are clear and his face is pure.And Jing Yan, even if it is an ordinary decoration, also has the meaning of exquisiteness.

"The imperial concubine made fun of you." Jing Yan was slightly annoyed, "It's just a little bit of help."

"I remember my younger sister didn't like to talk when she first entered the palace. She practiced calligraphy and read books all day long, but now she talks a lot." Liang Xun said with a smile.

Jing Yan replied briskly: "Times have changed, I am not a person who cares about idle clouds and wild cranes."

Although Han Xuan was standing in front of him, he only felt that he seemed to be watching from a distance.The smile on Liang Xun's face was not inferior to that of Jing Yan's.Hanxuan suddenly felt exhausted all over, and in the city, all three of them lost their way and could not escape.

"My sister has been working so hard on the affairs of the Palace, I have worked hard on my sister." Liang Xun said sideways.

"It's nothing to worry about." Jing Yan smiled heavily, "When the late Emperor was here, he was just extremely poor and bored, chatting about his teeth. Now that I'm busy with things, it's better than before."

"Fortunately, my sister is talented and talented. When it comes to planning things, my sister is powerless even if she has the heart." Liang Xun was not good at welcoming, and he felt a little jerky when he said this.

Han Xuan heard the ripples in the two's words, so he interrupted: "Is everything ready?"

"It's all good." Jing Yan said, "My sister will take care of herself tonight, and she will get married tomorrow, so let's take care of the trivial matters."

Han Xuan just nodded, and Jing Yan also tilted her head slightly.All three of them understood, Liang Xun just said lightly: "Go slowly."

"Hi, you are about to die. I will marry you tomorrow." Han Xuan Yingying said, and left Gu Yuangong with Jingyan.

The night wind blows, looking back at the palace full of high candles, through the plain silk gauze on all sides, it is warm and lustrous.And when returning, looking at the dense mountain scenery, accompanied by the little palace lanterns, the smile like the full moon just now is only gone.

"The concubine knows that Your Majesty and Elder Sister have a deep friendship. Although it is a trivial matter, I still want to bother Your Majesty." Jing Yan's complexion was also like Han Xuan's, with a little more solemnity.

"Between you and me, there is no need to make excuses like this." Han Xuan said.

"The palace is solemn, and there is wind everywhere." Jing Yan still had a peaceful face, and only glanced lightly at the guard of honor behind her.

Han Xuan understood, his eyes moved slightly, and the palace attendant behind him understood, and immediately stood still.Facing the breeze again, the two of them walked forward slowly under the gallery.

"Both of them have very little foundation. They have already invited relatives and dignitaries in the court according to the wishes of the empress. Li Cao has already drawn up a list. Now that the situation is unstable, I intend to invite more civil servants and female relatives."

"I'm still used to hearing you call your empress." Han Xuan laughed angrily: "You are careful and considerate, and you have done a good job in this matter."

"I used to say that when I was a classmate in the past, but now it's hard to change."

"The most important thing is when to marry you." Han Xuan turned his head to look at Jingyan, only to see that under the dim light of the palace lantern, Jingyan was blooming brilliantly.

"I still don't need it." Unexpectedly, there was a moment of silence on Jing Yan's face, losing the fragrance.

"In the old days, Xun'er was a cold person, and he would go to court tomorrow, so you have your own idea?"

"The three of you and I understand in our hearts that this is just a dream. Even if there is some idleness in Yunmeng, it will only increase the loss. Besides, since Sister Liang is already a common deer cart, why should I dance to tune."

"From your point of view, it's really sad for Lu Wuzhi to be a wife." Han Xuan's heart tightened.

"Your Majesty, you know in your heart that you don't need to be sincere when you want to play politics. Only in this way will you be free from ties when you retire."

Han Xuan sighed lightly, Jing Yan's words made sense.Therefore, I miss Xun'er, not knowing whether the beautiful wedding tomorrow will become a nightmare.

The two continued to move forward, only to see the scattered palaces and palaces outside the corridor, and the mountains were full of dim light.Looking up, in the blue sky, the sky is full of stars, shining brightly.

After walking far away, Hanxuan couldn't help looking back, only to feel that Gu Yuan Palace became more and more transparent tonight, but this grandeur, which he had never seen before, made people feel sorry for him.

"There is one more thing, let me say something more, I will send you a wedding tomorrow, I don't know if the middle palace will go with you?" Jing Yan was careful.

"It's not beneficial for Zhonggong to show his face at this time." Han Xuan nodded and sighed softly, "Let me ask him."

In the early morning of the next day, Hanxuan only looked at Liang Xun, Feng Guanxia, ​​and left, and sent it to Qionghanmen.There is no such thing as holding hands and looking at teary eyes, but looking at the mighty guard of honor with a calm face, disappearing in the winding palace road.

Han Xuan stopped for a long time and watched him go down the mountain.No matter how impressive the frame is, the only thing in your ears is the sound of the wind when you travel far.

The sky in spring is not as high and far away as autumn, and it always seems to be covered with thin shadows.Looking at the fresh green dots all over the mountains, it is hard to hide the decadence left by last year.

After returning from the wedding, Hanxuan just sat in the Guilai Pavilion all day long.In a few more days of cold weather, early summer will be here.Today there is no sunny sky when the sky is gone, the carved windows of the returning pavilion are wide open, and the light gauze curtains move with the wind, which is also in a lazy state.

He thought about Xun'er's appearance, the wine in the banquet was full of spring, the jade chips in the banquet, and the fragrant jade on the seat.Will Xun'er be really happy, or are the two just sitting stiffly at the table, calmly dealing with congratulations.

Hanxuan didn't want to see it, not only didn't want to sit in the main seat, but let the two of them commit themselves to the second seat, and he didn't want to see the harmonious scene of riding a luan across a phoenix and a chime.Looking back, the Chengcui Palace is lying in the palace, it seems very close, but it is extremely far away.

On the other side, because Hanxuan hadn't come in person, Jing Yan was entrusted with Liang Xun's mansion to handle all the affairs.

Liang Xun wears Luo Dai Cui and sits side by side with Dan Ye Duanran.Through the green tassels between the eyebrows, one can see the golden head and silver face in the hall, and the shadow of the fragrant clothes and bun.He lowered his eyes to look at Dan Ye beside him, that thin and fair face, with a hint of joy in his brows, was as clear as when he first saw her.

He gently pulled the corners of the skirts where the two joined together, Danye came back to his senses, and warmth suddenly appeared in his brows.The warmth in those eyes was just like the warmth of his bare feet when the sun hit the pebbles in the yard in the early autumn of that year.

"The house is not big, you have been wronged." Dan Ye said.

"It's enough to have a courtyard full of red maples."

The banquet was about to start, Liang Xun looked at a corner of the hall, and there was a woman in brocade beside Jing Yan, the two whispered to each other.I saw that although the woman was dressed in court attire, she wove gold and carved flowers, which was beyond the standard.A silver crown on the head is not a vulgar thing.Facing Jing Yan, there is no ordinary servant's look of concern.

At this time, if Tian Ruo enters the palace, all the people in the palace just attach themselves to salute, and call the princess a thousand years old.Because it was Liang Xun who was overjoyed, if Tian Ruo couldn't do it himself, he responded softly, and everyone began to entertain themselves again.

"The moon is white and the wind is clear, a harmonious couple, what a good pair of people." Tian Ruo usually rarely sees joy, but at this time he is smiling, his face is dazzling.

"Thank you princess, now I don't know whether the princess should call me my palace or my wife." Liang Xun said softly.

"Why be polite, let's call it Xun'er. The day you entered the mansion, there were frequent disturbances. You stopped working hard to assist in the affairs of the mansion. When the sky was full of gold and iron horses to appease the world, only you and I depended on each other in the mansion. Now you have Liang Zhi, sister is really happy for you." Tianruo has a tenderness that Han Xuan has never experienced before Liang Xun.

Liang Xun could only thank him, and the two chatted away.

Tianruo also looked at Jing Yan, who was rushing around, "Look at him, he is dealing with all kinds of affairs, and he is afraid that he will marry a foreigner in the future, and he will be just like you."

"Princess made fun of me. How can I be free? The beauty of the previous court is helpful. I am also in the confinement, so it is not good for me not to help."

"It seems that the middle palace is not good, and the rumors are true." Tian Ruo was slightly annoyed, "Concubine Jing is probably more difficult than you, a little abandoned woman dares to answer with her head held high."

Liang Xun turned his head to take a closer look, the woman's face was upright, slightly plump, more heroic than soft.For Liang Xun, it is actually nothing new, there are many people in the world who can't tell the difference.It's just that here, there are many benefits that are hard to describe.

Seeing the suspicious look on Liang Xun's face, Tian Ruo said: "That's not the rebellious minister's abandoned wife, Han Xuan actually appointed Zhang Yue to be a director of the palace. I don't know what plans the palace is making. The rites and music he knows are still taught by the children of our aristocratic family in the Hongwen Museum."

Liang Xun was stupefied for a while, but fortunately, when singing and dancing in the hall, Jing Yan also came up to greet him, so he stopped asking.

But see that Ji Lihongshu, Yingying came out of this happy hall.The room was full of high candles, and the colored silk on the carved windows revealed a little bit of red light, making the corridor extremely dark.Two eight-treasure palace lanterns are lit in the corridor, which are also decorated with double happiness patterns.The bustle is all in the hall, and when you come from the side room, there are only a few servants, who can touch some wine and meat, and drink for themselves in the corner.

As we walked farther, the singing in the hall came faintly, and the maple trees in the courtyard were all fresh green. The more radiant the small world was, the more solitary it was when there were little lights around it at night.

"Going out of the valley, the warbler moves, and the court swallows, and the robes are green. Chang'e will pay for it, and Guanghan has flowers and candles tonight."

Hearing the melody, he felt even more apprehensive.I am afraid of the silence in this side courtyard, and I am even more afraid that the silence will last for a long time and no one will disturb me.

Fortunately, even though they were in a hurry, the mottled tree shadows under the corridor over there still changed to light and dark.

"Princess." Hong Shu immediately attached himself to salute, the shadow of the tree was like a palm print, patting his breasts and sleeves.

"I knew it was you." Tianruo had a hesitant face, and a mountain-colored peony was blowing on his temples, which was transparent and light under the moonlight, "It's such a song "Flying Immortals and Bibi", don't you know that you have provoked this princess? Yue, everything you ask for must be unfavorable."

"Time changes and the situation changes. I am afraid that if you stand in a temple or hide in the mountains, listening to this song will make a world of difference."

If Tian Ruo didn't answer, he just looked at the slightly swaying tree shadow on Hong Shu's body, and listened to the sound of drinking and chatting in the palace.

"You have mountains and rivers in your chest, and you dare to do things like black silk and white horses." Tian Ruo said coldly.

"For selfishness, each takes what is needed. For the public, it is nothing more than to strengthen the country. It is chastity, and it is also loyalty." Hong Shu's words are very light, but the words are very clear, "If a minister dares to remonstrate rashly, it must be wrong. Dying to resist on a whim, there are many loyal ministers in the court, we all think that the princess is the main line of the royal family, and she is here to practice Zuo, following the laws of heaven and responding to the hearts of the people."

"In ancient times, loyalty and righteousness were black and white, and it was not about who was the king and who was the loser."

"My wife is willing to give all I have, and try my best to save my life."

If the sky is silent, just look at the maple trees in the courtyard.

"My wife knows that Ji Li's family is at the end of the storm and cannot be supported alone, but with the help of Yuan Ming, the princess will be safe."

Tian Ruo's beautiful eyes moved slightly for a moment, but he was still silent after all, only heard the singing over there, and with the drunkenness, it came continuously.

"Yu worships Pan Ci, the building is tall and beautiful, and sits and enjoys the blessing of Qi Mei. The court is full of halberds, and the princes belong to each other."

The two relished the lingering sound for a while, but did not speak for a long time.

"It's nothing more than Yingqianyaner, tin, car and luxury house, fools and fools." Tian Ruo turned sideways, "My mother loved this "Flying Immortals", which was sung by me in the past. I haven't been a classmate for long, so it's rare that you still remember it."

If Tianruo walked straight away, Hong Shu was still kneeling, unable to see clearly the joy and sorrow on his face.

After singing over there, Liang Xun was already a little drunk during the entertainment.The beauty Yushan is slightly slumped, but she is firmly supported by the red leaves in the sleeves of her robes, so she will not lose her dignity in the hall.

"The princess is overwhelmed with alcohol, why is her beauty gone?" Liang Xun's eyelids were blushing at this moment, looking very pretty.

"It's the time of You, and it's getting late, Concubine Jing may have returned to the palace to return to her life." Yue Zhi replied.

Looking up, there was a mess of cups and plates at the banquet, and everyone's spirits faded.Looking at the empty space beyond the red curtain, there are only a few stars, all dim.

Under the stars and fields, Hanxuan also stands in the spring breeze, looking at this bright and ignorant Chenhan, drinking lightly.

A few palace lanterns were lighted in the Guilai Pavilion.The windows are half closed, and the wind is strong during the night, and the towel curtains only move with the wind.

Han Xuan leaned on the couch, watching Jing Yan approaching.Looking from a distance, the meticulous and elegant dress when going out is also desolate at night.

"It's already midnight, why did you come back so late?" Han Xuan said.

Jing Yan took her seat on her own, her vocal cords were tired, "Do your best for him, it's like I got married once too."

"Is everything going well?"

"It's all good, there's nothing wrong with it."

For some reason, Han Xuan always felt palpitations.Seeing that Jingyan's brows were slightly condensed, she didn't dare to ask again.

The Guilai Pavilion is in the southeast corner, and the inner city is under the window.Xun'er's house is crowded among them, and it seems to be getting brighter tonight, but there is only one spot of light that can be seen from the Guilai Pavilion.Looking westward, his own pavilion was dark.

The night is deep, and the little light spot will also fall silent.

After leaving the Yi Mansion, Ji Lihong boarded the sedan chair, followed by Kabuki with bowed heads behind him, the keys of the inner palace had already been released, they could not go through the Qionghan Gate, they had to go back to the Zhangyueyuan through the side gate.

Hong Shu was thinking about Tian Ruo's words, his thick eyebrows were furrowed.Looking at the people around him, he knew that they were all Han Xuan's eyes and ears, and he was afraid that he and Wei Rang would fight each other and cause trouble again.This silent attendant by his side is not a heavy prison.

Fortunately, Hong Shu was prepared and arranged Ying Hong, a close attendant from his mother's family, into the Palm Music Academy quietly.At this time, she was among the dancers.

Because of worry, after returning to Zhangyueyuan, he ordered a few words casually, and then pretended to leave the palace and return to the mansion.I changed my own frame at the gate of the palace, and I was about to go down the mountain.After walking for a while, lightly lift the curtain of the car, and see that all the servants in the palace have gone back.Then he turned the car around and went back to the gate of the palace, saying that he had missed something important and needed to enter the inner court again.

The verandahs where the servants lived were scattered among the palaces, Hong Shu asked Ying Hong to pretend to be out of the palace, so he changed into a palace night patrol outfit, carried a palace lantern, and walked with lowered eyebrows.

Before entering the gate of the courtyard, I saw the two palace servants who were usually serving by the side hurriedly.Hong Shu tiptoed around, and only stopped after reaching the Huarong Hall.

Hong Shu was shocked, but he remained calm in the face of danger.Thinking about it for a moment, if there are scenery, eyes and ears around him, he can't just sit and wait for death, so he quietly went back to the verandah and hid outside the living room of the two.

Late at night, the dew is heavy, and there are only scattered bamboos slanting behind the verandah.Hiding here, from time to time, I feel the chill dripping over the hem of the jacket and invading the whole body.

Fortunately, not long after, the two returned to the room.Hong Shu only felt his heart beating violently, and he listened carefully to the movement inside.

However, after the two returned to the room, they were silent for a moment.After lighting the lamp, the figures of the two cast their shadows on the bamboo behind Hong Shu.

At this time, everything is quiet, except for the rustling of bamboo leaves.Hong Shu felt terrified, looked around, the windows were closed, and the bamboos were as old as before.There was no light around.The faint moonlight, passing through the numerous branches and leaves, was not much left when it reached the ground.

Looking around, he didn't reveal Xingzang, so he just waited for the two to speak.

"This thieves woman is extremely cunning, how can you and I see it. Fortunately, Empress Concubine Jing caught her rightly today, otherwise you and I may not have a good end."

"The thief's wife is in a cocoon. If she doesn't make trouble, this thief will be exiled to the edge of the world. But now he can't stay."

"In the past few days, you and I have to keep an eye on every drop of water even if we eat and sleep. Two days later, the thief will enter the palace to execute his sentence. He will act in secret. We must not let the thief woman have trouble again."

"On that day when Lady Zhao returns to Ning, His Majesty happens to have a big banquet for relatives and nobles. At that time, there will be a lot of rituals and music, so he must hold that thief woman down."

The silence broke out again, and Hong Shu was in suspense again.

"Go to sleep."

"Ah."

The lights went out, and the light and shadow were gone.Hong Shu lay dormant for a while, seeing no movement, he quietly left the courtyard again.

Holding the palace lantern, he walked slowly with his head bowed. At this moment, he was already in a state of disarray.

He pondered over and over the two strange silences between the two of them in his heart, suddenly enlightened, and looked up at the palace garden.Palace lanterns were lit in the corridor, and there was no one around.There was a faint leak in the distance, drinking the sound of the wind and bringing the cold air.

Hong Shu couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself, if he wanted to use tricks to invite you into the urn, his beautiful appearance was nothing more than that.My heart is also slightly relieved, probably nothing will happen tonight.
