How many buildings are in the mist

This year's sacrificial ceremony was arranged very concisely.Coincidentally, the two imperial daughters made condolences, in addition to telling about their progress and nostalgia over the past year, they both said that the spirit of the queen mother in heaven must hope that those who live in this world can live well.If one fails to fulfill one's responsibilities as a human being, but indulges in sorrow and hurts more people, that is also a kind of unfilial piety.

When they were reading, Zhu Xianwan carefully observed Feng Zihuan's expression, and found that Feng Zihuan had a calm demeanor and gentle eyes.After the maids from the Li Palace left, Feng Zihuan went in and had a private conversation with Zhu Xianzhi's spirit seat as usual.Duan Qichen was about to leave, but Zhu Xianwan held her back and told her to wait. "Why?" Duan Qichen asked, Zhu Xianwan shook her head, "Wait."

Although I just have a hunch, just a hunch.

Sure enough, Feng Zihuan didn't stay in front of the spiritual seat for long and came out.She dispersed her attendants, and stood alone under the scorching sun, looking up at the flag.Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up at the scene where there was no wind, gently blowing the flag.Under the boundless blue sky, the flag fluttered softly.

Both Duan and Zhu saw Feng Zihuan smiling, and it seemed as if a drop of tear had shed while smiling.Duan Qichen didn't quite understand, he turned his head and was about to ask, but found that Zhu Xianwan was also crying.

"Why is this?"

She hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Zhu Xianwan. Zhu Xianwan smiled apologetically, "I made a wish to my sister yesterday, and hoped that if she knew, she would show Her Majesty something. It was clear for several days without wind, and suddenly there was a wind on the flat ground. Thinking of this, I suddenly... miss my sister very much..." Duan Qichen quickly pulled her back and patted her back to comfort her.

The same goes for Feng Zihuan.She just walked up to Zhu Xianzhi's spirit and prayed to Zhu Xianzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time.I haven't seen you since the last time you said you were leaving.I miss you very much, but I can't bother you anymore.If you have already gone, beyond the ultimate bliss, out of the sea of ​​suffering, when I go out in a while, you will raise a gust of wind and blow the flag to show me, okay?Let me feel at ease, let me bid farewell to you and live again.

That gust of breeze came and went without a trace, gentle and slow, just like Zhu Xianzhi once spoke.Feng Zihuan was sad and happy in his heart, and said to Zhu Xianzhi silently in his heart, okay, I understand, you have gone to the land of boundless happiness and paradise without sorrow.I am the one left on this side, because I still have unfinished business.So I will live a good life, and I will go on with Xuan Ji.

Goodbye, Xianzhi.

Goodbye.

Outside Taicheng, in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Cui Xuanji was carried onto the wheelchair {159} sent by Zhu Hezhi the day before yesterday, and pushed into the garden.The garden is full of honeysuckle, magnolia, rose, and Ling Xiao, with fragrant smell and bright colors.The broken bone on Cui Xuanji's body has healed well, her ribs no longer feel very painful, and she can turn over a little while sleeping, except that her right arm is still in a paralyzed state, she has recovered a lot.This is thanks to the magic medicine from the Western Regions that Uncle Guo, who gave the wheelchair, found out from nowhere.And he didn't dare to come and deliver it himself, so he entrusted Lu Hao to deliver it.Lu Hao came here under the guise of visiting his aunt, delivered the things, and said to Cui Xuanji, "I can't help but you don't accept it, because my uncle Guo has already "destroyed the house" to save you.Cui Xuanji also understood what Zhu Hezhi was after, although thinking about it was a bit mixed.

Forget it, this favor must be sold.

She got up today not to bask in the sun, but because today is Zhu Xianzhi's memorial day, and she wanted to divination.

In the past, Zhu Xianzhi was the most familiar and strange person to her.The number of times she saw Zhu Xianzhi was limited, but she knew Zhu Xianzhi's past stories like the back of the back of her hand; she had heard too many stories about Zhu Xianzhi, but she never tried to analyze or summarize this person's character: she was afraid, she avoided doing it, because of herself in the bottom of her heart. Feeling guilty towards Zhu Xianzhi.Before entering the palace, she didn't do anything, she just hid this thought in her heart.Now that so many things have happened, Feng Zihuan has not only confessed to Feng Zihuan himself, but also saved his life, which made Feng Zihuan feel guilty towards her.In a real sense, she is snatching Zhu Xianzhi's love.

Love is always like this, it is too late to discover when it happens, and it is powerless to change when it is discovered.In the past few months when she was lying in bed and unable to do anything, she also thought about it, what was she insisting on?She said to Feng Zihuan, you have to think about this and that, what about her?Don't you need to see your own heart clearly?Feng Zihuan has a threshold to cross, but she doesn't?When Feng Zihuan has determined his heart and love, can he get rid of the obstacles in his heart?

After Fengxu and Fengxi came, she knew that her only obstacle was her guilt towards Zhu Xianzhi.It was her favorite love story, and she looked forward to but was afraid of being its spoiler.

If it wasn't for Feng Zizhang, Xie Yan would visit her occasionally.The last time Xie Yan came to comfort her not to resist Feng Zihuan's reward like that.Xie Yan said that you are already so desperate for His Majesty, why is His Majesty doing something for you?Don't you want her to do everything for you?She replied immediately, no, I don't want her to do this for me.

So that day when Feng Zihuan braved the rain and galloped from the palace for her, she felt very heartwarming, even unbelievably overly moved.She has experienced the hard work of one person standing by another person chasing desperately, she does not want Feng Zihuan to do the same, she should also go to Feng Zihuan.

So she came under the flowers today, looked at the petals of various colors, and silently prayed to Zhu Xianzhi in her heart: Empress, sister Xianzhi, I know that I can't hide my thoughts from you, and I have no intention of defending myself.I love Your Majesty deeply, and I hope she can live a happier life, but I don't know if it has anything to do with me, and whether I am qualified to make her happy.If you think I can do it, let the wind blow the petals and fall on me; if you think it's not possible, let the petals fall, but none of them fall on me.

Then she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

The breeze blows through the ears, only the rustling of leaves is heard, and the wings of birds cut through the emptiness.She opened her eyes, her body was covered with magnolia flower petals, but there was none on the ground.She held up the pink and white petals with her left hand and wept silently.With tears in her eyes, she seemed to be back when she was a child. Once when she saw Zhu Xianzhi, Zhu Xianzhi bent down and said to her:

"Ah, isn't this Xuanji? It's been a long time since I've seen you. It's so big. It's so beautiful. When you smile, your eyes are curved like crescent moons, so beautiful..."

This scene happened to be seen by Lu Shi passing by.Lu Xi didn't say anything, and went back to continue chatting with his nephew.At night, when Lu Shi was changing the medicine on Cui Xuanji's palm, he asked lightly, "Xuan Ji, when will you let your mother be the emperor's mother-in-law again?"

Cui Xuanji blushed immediately after hearing this, and stammered, not knowing what to say. Lu Xi smiled and said, "I can't see that you are my mother? The day I first came, His Majesty knelt down to me directly in the palace." .At that time, I hadn't fully guessed it. If I had guessed it, I would have said, 'Your Majesty, you kowtowed early, and the bride is still lying on the bed and can't get up'!"

"Mother..." Cui Xuanji was still shy, not knowing what to say, not even complaining.

"Oh, I'm sorry that I gave birth to your brother and sister, both of whom are bored. Your brother is now in the frontier, with the look of 'Why is he at home'! As for you, you don't like to talk when you were young, and you have to ask us about everything. Now everything I'm so old, I don't say it, I have to come for my mother, I have to guess for myself. Are you afraid that your mother will be foolish?"

"I'm not……"

"Hey. Your Majesty must be interested in you. Even if I haven't been in Jiankang for many years, I still know that Your Majesty and Zhu's girl are as deep as seas; if you didn't have to face each other after entering the palace, your Majesty—— "She wanted to say empathy, but fortunately she kept her mouth shut, "It probably won't be the case. Oh, now think about your actions when you were young, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"Mother!"

"Why are you so upset, did you say something wrong for your mother? Huh?"

"No……"

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Lu Shi spared her, put down her bandaged left hand, put her own on it and said, "Actually, your father and I never expected you brothers and sisters to make any achievements. This time When I came to Jiankang, I heard from your aunt that you have done many great things for His Majesty, and I am also very happy. Now that you have kept such a big thing here, it is related to your life-long happiness, so I am hesitant. My mother would like to ask Let me ask you, what are your plans now?"

Cui Xuanji always felt a little shy to say such things to his mother, and couldn't sort out his words for a while.From her expression, Lu Xi could guess that her daughter must have made up her mind to agree.Even if there is no today, it can be seen from the past.

"Don't say it? If you don't want to say it for your mother, I will tell you. If you don't want to, you probably wouldn't even see His Majesty the day before yesterday. If you don't want to, why do you have to put the dagger that His Majesty rewarded you under your pillow? Tsk, People around can see it, why are you lying to yourself?"

"I didn't lie to myself..."

"You, don't have any burdens. If someone talks gossip, let them go. Our family doesn't want any fame or wealth. Isn't it rich enough now? As long as you are happy and Your Majesty is happy, that's fine. What better thing in the world than people who love each other can understand each other and love each other?"

"Mother……"

"But there is one thing, you have to remember: If your majesty wants to marry you, there must be a lot of things to do!"

If Feng Zihuan was present and heard what her future mother-in-law said, she would definitely agree to it immediately and do her best, mother, you can say whatever you want!We are all!I do it all!But she was held back by government affairs throughout June, and couldn't get away every day. Until the tenth day of July, she didn't have time to see Cui Xuanji.For this reason, she had no choice but to express her thoughts through two things: [-]. Rewards, this was Duan Qichen's idea.Duan Qichen always felt that he should give some small gifts, not only to Cui Xuanji, but also to the future mother-in-law, right?But Feng Zihuan said that I don't know what to reward, so he simply opened his royal warehouse and asked Duan Qichen to help choose.So Cui Xuanji either received seasonal snacks, fine nectar, or exquisite gadgets.In short, the amount is not much, and it is not very precious, but it has never been cut off.Cui Xuanji was no longer stubborn, so he accepted it.What's more, many were not designated for her, some were for Lu Shi, Cui Yi, and their whole family.

Since there were female officials in charge of delivering things at the gate of Cui's mansion almost every day, the news spread like wildfire in Jiankang City, and became the material of street talk.In mid-July, an admonisher told Feng Zihuan in the court hall that His Majesty may have rewarded the Cui family too much recently and should stop, otherwise the common people will talk endlessly and it will be of no benefit to His Majesty.

Feng Zihuan lost his temper in court for the first time this year.He gritted his teeth and scolded the admonisher, saying that the Cui family was a loyal family, and the former Zhonglang general Cui Xuanji risked huge risks for the country to go deep into the front line of Guangling alone. Without her, Jiankang would not know what it would be like now; Ji Yu has the grace of saving my life, do you still want you to teach me how to repay my life-saving benefactor?

Talking and talking, the words were not very fierce, and in the end she didn't punish the admonisher, she just expressed her position that she would not change, and she would not change even if she died.After she finished cursing, out of the corner of her eye she saw Feng Zizhang standing below, trying to hold back a smile.So when the court was over, she called Feng Zizhang and asked what the people in Jiankang were talking about.Feng Zizhang said he didn't know.She thought about it, and then said to Feng Zizhang, let Xie Yan go, use the same method to make up the story for me, and let the people in Manjiankang know what Xuanji has done for me, and what we have done together. Between the feelings, go!

Feng Zizhang smiled and agreed, and added, that sister must remember to tell Master Cui about this.

As a result, in the tenth letter from Feng Zihuan expressing his longing that Cui Xuanji received the next day, there was this sentence: In the future, I will definitely spoil you, so that everyone in the world will know it!

Cui Xuanji couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. Although he didn't think it was a good thing, the sweetness in his heart still flowed out.In order to prevent these words from being seen by others, she always ordered people to keep the letters in a small bamboo box.The letter cannot be seen by others, and it is even more impossible to reply, so she insisted on writing the reply with her left hand with difficulty.One stroke at a time, carefully.Looking at the poor handwriting, she had to apologize for it every time she wrote back.

In the end, what did Feng Zihuan say?She said that the child-like handwriting was very cute, but not as cute as Cui Xuanji himself.

That's why recently the servants of Cui's mansion always feel strange, why does the eldest lady always blush, is it too hot?

One day in early August, Feng Zihuan held a family banquet, but instead of inviting the two princesses, Feng Zizhang and Xie Yan were invited instead.The purpose is very simple, she will finally be a little bit empty, she wants to know if she goes to meet Cui Xuanji in person, what can she do, bring, and say, so as to completely win Cui Xuanji's heart?

Feng Zihuan has become very easy-going in the past six months. At the beginning of the family banquet, everyone was asked to speak freely, so under the leadership of Feng Zizhang, everyone first laughed at the emperor.Duan Qichen asked Xie Yan about Cui Xuanji's personal preferences, and said, "We originally intended to let His Majesty choose what he likes, but the news we inquired was that Cui Xuanji has no special preferences. I don't know if Mr. Xie knows something others don't. details."

Everyone looked at Xie Yan for a while, Xie Yan said helplessly: "My cousin has been a guy with little interest since she was a child. Although she can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has no special love for any one, let alone which one is currently ill. I can’t enjoy it. During the recuperation period, you can’t drink alcohol; the trauma is not healed, and the weather is not suitable for going to the hot springs. When I went to visit her, I saw that she was just reading.”

Her words blocked most of Duan Qichen's thoughts.Although she would also like to add that Cui Xuanji's greatest hobby is the emperor himself, so just go.However, she did not dare to say such presumptuous words - especially with Concubine Duan and Concubine Ning present.

After hearing this, Feng Zihuan shook his head and sighed, "Oh, there's no way to win everyone's heart easily!"

Feng Zizhang was still making fun of her sister, which immediately drew Feng Zihuan's scolding.The two sisters were bickering, Zhu Xianwan picked up an orange on the table in front of her, and said thoughtfully: "Actually...have we overlooked, what does Master Cui like to eat on weekdays?"

Before Xie Yan remembered it, Feng Zihuan sighed: "In the past, I always rewarded myself with food, but I never asked her what she liked, and she never revealed it. This is all my fault. If I should have known—" Zhu Xianwan immediately interjected, saying that the past is all over, Your Majesty, quickly recall memories, and asked Xie Yan again.Feng Zihuan thought for a while and said: "I only remember that she peeled water chestnuts and chestnuts for me during the Mid-Autumn Festival one year."

Xie Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, she must have picked up her favorite food to serve His Majesty. I still remember that when she was a child, her favorite food was water chestnut, chestnuts, and sweet-scented osmanthus."

"Just these three things?" Feng Zihuan asked.

"That's all three."

Feng Zihuan was contemplating, but Duan Qichen suddenly said: "Then why don't your majesty choose a full moon night, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival! Bring seasonal grapefruit, taro, chestnuts, water chestnuts, pears, and make sweets, warming ones, and give them to Cui. Take Xuanji away? At that time, it would be great for the two of you to drink together against the moon. But it’s best for His Majesty to make it yourself, otherwise it won’t show your sincerity.”

Feng Zizhang shook his head and added, "Sister, it's better to go to Qingxi to catch some fireflies, and then take them with you, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Feng Zihuan scolded Feng Zizhang for torturing himself.Feng Zizhang didn't answer the conversation, and glanced at Xie Yan with a smile: "What about you, do you want to go?"

Xie Yan smiled and said, "You can go, I can go, why don't we go together?"

The author has something to say:

{159}This is a fiction.I didn't see any information about wheelchairs appearing at that time. The part where Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" doesn't count.
