Manchu civil and military bow down

As soon as the day dawned, the palace began to be busy. The lanterns, colorful sheds, long tables, stools and chairs, and even the stage began to be built.

The main banquet was at the dinner party, and in the morning it was a family banquet. When he was taken to Ningxin Palace by the supervisor, all the incense cars of the palace family members also arrived and gathered outside.The eldest princess came early and stood in front of the steps, waiting for him.Xu He jumped off the sedan chair and walked over, "Mother."

The eldest princess looked at him carefully in the morning light, and found that his complexion had improved a lot. She was pleasantly surprised: "Not bad, have you changed your mind recently?"

Is it that obvious, Xu He resentfully said: "No, just go to bed earlier."

The eldest princess took his hand, walked into the hall, and asked with a smile; "What are you preparing for? I heard that all your cousins ​​gave you rare treasures that are priceless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare." ,And you?"

Xu He: "..." Ashamed of his appearance, he couldn't say it.

Seeing his expression, the eldest princess understood, and smiled meaningfully: "I can see that you are not seriously prepared, kid."

Xu He tried to explain: "It's not that I can't get out of the capital.

what. "Of course the main thing is lack of money.

The eldest princess was just teasing him, never thought that he could come up with a rare gift, she still doesn't know about her son.

After entering the palace, please greet and celebrate the birthday, after a while, the ladies in the palace brought bowls of birthday noodles.

The family members sit at one table, and the children sit at one table.Xu He ate the noodles, thinking in his heart that he should enter the palace.

He was eating soup when suddenly his sleeve was pulled by the person next to him.

Xu He looked down, the three-year-old Eighteenth Prince was blinking at him

The nurse beside her was also a little at a loss, and asked softly, "Your Highness, what's the matter."

The eighteenth prince smiled sweetly at him: "Brother, you are so pretty."

His voice was so childish that it almost melted people's hearts.

Xu He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he shaved the Eighteenth Prince's nose with his hand, and said to him, "Brother, you can't praise him for being good-looking, but for being handsome. Come on, say it again, Brother, you are so handsome." Then softly said: "Brother, you are so handsome."

Only then did Xu He feel satisfied.

The wet nurse beside her also didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The only good thing is that everyone's gift will not be read out in public, otherwise, to him, it would really be like Xu He's execution, invincible and uncomfortable, and he would like to dig a hole in the ground.

After eating birthday noodles, I chatted with the Queen Mother for a few words, and Xu He left first.

He ran to the east gate of the palace, just as the troupe entered the palace.

No one was there, and without knowing it, Mimi got out of a red sedan chair, her white clothes fluttering, and jumped to the ground.

Xu He hurriedly pulled him to a place covered by vegetation, "Follow me."

I didn't know that I was smoothing the folds on the sleeves, but was suddenly pulled by Xu He, and shouted while walking: "You let me clean up my image first."

Xu He didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly dragged him to a pool in the imperial garden, avoiding the coming and going ladies, pointing to a lake behind the rockery and said: "This is here, you remember it for me, when the time comes, eating and drinking will be all right." Stay here for me. Come over to me as soon as you hear that I've fallen into the water."

I don’t know that it’s the first time I entered the palace, I was surprised to see everything, even the rocks on the rockery had to be touched, and after touching it, I said: “Why do I feel that the stones in the palace are harder than the outside?” He looked at it like a thief. Looking to the side, seeing no one, he asked Xu He, "Can I steal some back?"

"..." Xu He said indifferently, "I can't, get lost."

I don't know: "Stingy."

Before Xu He left, he gave another instruction: "Remember, don't run around." But it seems that this monk doesn't know anyone here, so won't he be embarrassed in the crowd of clothes and temples?So Xu Hezhen asked this question.

I don’t know that at this time, I was stretching my hand into the pool, lamenting that the water in the palace is relatively cold, and replied carelessly: “What’s so embarrassing, when people ask me about my identity, I just smile and don’t say a word. Many."

Xu He: "...but you're so complacent."

After settling the unknown, Xu He hurried back to the Jingxin Hall.I watched a few plays with the family members, waiting for the night to come.

He was eating melon seeds, and suddenly heard a few coughs, which were very violent, as if he could cough out his lungs.Looking along the voice, it is the queen.She was turning her head and covering her mouth with a handkerchief. From Xu He's angle, she could see blood oozing from the embroidered handkerchief.The queen mother and the concubines next to her were taken aback, and asked nervously.The queen smiled with a bad face and shook her head.

Xu He spat out the melon seed shell, also a little worried.He always felt that the person that Bu Shuyue cared about that day should be Empress Cheng.

Night fell.The beams of the corridors in the palace are covered with exquisitely painted palace lanterns. Long seats and colorful sheds are set up in various places in the garden.

Horse-drawn carriages came one after another outside the gate of the palace, and the officials and their families went to the Golden Palace to take their seats.

Thinking about something in his heart, Xu He's food was not very tasty.After all the civil and military officials finished delivering gifts, celebrated birthdays, and the singers finished performing a song and dance, the highlight of the dinner was over.The Empress Dowager moved to the Imperial Garden, where the male guests and the female guests sat in separate seats. The stage had already been set up, and they were performing an excerpt.

It's almost that time.

Xu He lied that he had eaten crabs and spoiled his stomach, and was taken away by the maid. He found an excuse on the way, threw off the maid, and walked to the lake in the garden.

This place is also close to the stage, and when he falls into the water, he can startle many people, but they don't know where he is now.Xu He convinced himself to believe in the monk once, touched the water with his fingers, and immediately retracted them.

Fuck, it's so cold.

Forget it, wait, wait until the play is over and quiet down.He felt a little guilty towards the Queen Mother, but for the sake of the mission, he had to do so.

There was a rock by the lake, and the play was estimated to last half an hour. He was a little tired from standing, so he just sat on the rock.

The stone was also cold, Xu He was bored, so he stretched out his hand to pick the leaves of the tree next to him to play, and accidentally pulled off the roots with too much force, and instantly the sand and flowers and leaves fell all over his body, bah bah, Xu He hurriedly stood up and patted his hair .He stood up, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a sneaky figure, by the moonlight, it was Su Shuangxu who he didn't see at the banquet tonight.

Weird.

After Xu He waited for him to leave, he took a detour and arrived at the right front of the rockery behind him.

where is he from?from here.

With an attitude that being idle is boring, Xu He moved forward and touched it with his hands. Su Shuangxu may have left too quickly, and the mechanism was not pressed properly, and it was half convex.

He found it right away. Amidst the slight noise, a dark hole half the height of a person appeared among the ivy hanging down halfway up the mountain.

Xu He didn't dare to go forward alone, what should he do if he got lost inside, but he was very curious, and his heart itched unbearably.

So I called a passing maid to come, and said that my things had fallen in, and I wanted to go down to look for them, and let her guard outside.

The maid's black line: "Young master, how about we look for this black light tomorrow? It's really not possible, and the servant will call you a guard. Why do you take such a risk?"

What you said is really reasonable, logical and clear.But Xu He insisted: "...No, it's a small thing, I can't describe it, I'll find it myself."

The palace maid said nothing to him, she could only nod with a worried face.

Xu He bent over and walked into the cave.

It was very dark inside the cave, but fortunately he just asked the maid for a candle, which can illuminate an inch of the place in front of him.

The tunnel is long and narrow, and the construction time is estimated to be short. Xu He walked for a while, and there were many forks in front of him.There are four in total, leading to different directions. Xu He started walking from the far right, and within two steps, there were several routes for him to choose.

In order to make it easier for him to walk back when the time comes, he chose all of them to the far right.

The corridors are all the same, and they cannot be seen clearly in the dark.

Xu He made some marks with his nails, and the moisture of the soil slowly soaked into the air, and he was a little tired from walking.He wanted to rest against the wall, but when his fingertips slightly touched a mark, he woke up in fright.Slightly flustered, Xu He raised the lamp to illuminate the imprint, which was the first one he walked in at the first fork in the road.

So, he went around and went back to the original place.

To go back is to go out.

But Xu He didn't believe in evil. This time, he listened to the sound of water and walked in search of it.

Outside the cave, seeing Xu He's going in for longer and longer, the palace maid panicked and turned pale.

She stood there anxiously, not knowing whether she should call someone now.

"Who went in."

A cold voice sounded from behind, and the maid clenched her sleeves tightly and turned her head abruptly.

What met was Bu Jinglan's deep and cold eyes.

The maid was startled and trembled all over, "Huishi, son, is the young master of the Xu family."

The young master of the Xu family?

Bu Jinglan lowered his eyes.

He seemed to say something softly, but the maid didn't hear clearly, and then saw his brows were cold, and the red clothes were like the wind blowing over the flowers and plants, so she also walked in.

After walking along the sound of water, the ending is really different from the first time.At least the road began to gradually widen, and after turning around a bend, the line of sight suddenly opened up.

A square space, the soft green light emitted by a large night pearl on the top of the sky wall.The river flowed slowly along the edge of the stone wall. Xu He squinted his eyes, as if there was still some pattern engraved on the sky wall, but he couldn't see it clearly because it was far away.

But the breath here is indeed a bit strange, as if it is a kind of aphrodisiac incense, low, blurred, and ambiguous.

Xu He shivered, not knowing why his first reaction was this.

——He thinks this is definitely not the end, there must be another mechanism in this place.

Holding a candle, Xu He walked into the stone wall, wanting to find out.Suddenly he heard a very violent rumbling sound, the movement was so loud that he felt the walls were shaking.What the hell, Xu He turned his head, and saw that the cave door he came from was slowly lowering a stone door, which was about to be closed.

—Fuck!

Xu He didn't bother to find out.

God knows he's just bored.

When he ran over with the candle, the stone door happened to be closed halfway, so he could pass with his waist down, but when his wrist fell down, the candle dripped on his hand halfway, which made him startled and he lost his balance, and the candle fell inside , and because he was stunned for a while, when he went out, his ankle was scratched by the edge of the stone door.

Rumble.

The stone door was closed tightly, blocking the last ray of light from the Ye Mingzhu, leaving Xu He standing in the darkness.

"..." Xu He.Beep the dog.

He did remember the way back, but he was very angry, but it was his own fault.

Xu He wanted to take a few steps, but the injury on his foot made him gasp.It's just that the skin was scratched and there was a little blood. In fact, the injury was not serious, but he was really pampered in this life, and even a little pain could stimulate tears to come out of his eyes.

Xu He supported the stone wall, thinking about treating the wound first, and sat down slowly. He touched it with his fingers and gasped for air.

Mom.

it hurts.

Suddenly a candlelight came from the entrance of the corridor.

The candle is mixed with spices, heavy and slightly drunk, seeping into the soil, bringing a very cold feeling.

He leaned against the stone gate, forgot to wipe away his tears, and looked up at the person coming.

Dark red gown, purple jade crown.

Bu Jinglan raised his wrist and held up a lamp.

His black hair poured out like ink behind him, and he held a candle in his palm, making his complexion pale as cold as the moon, but his lips were watery red.He merged into the glistening darkness, his robes flung silently.During the day, there are some elegant and gentle faces, but now, only coquettish and charming are left in the night.It's just that this kind of glamor appeared on him, without any femininity, but with a coldness that made people dare not look directly at him.

Xu He was also frightened by him.

Why does he feel that he always meets Bu Jinglan at the wrong time.

Bu Jinglan looked at him and smiled slowly, "So, it's really you."

Xu He: "...What a coincidence."

Bu Jinglan held the lamp, squatted down, saw the wound on his slender ankle, his eyes were full of interest: "Injured?"

"Well, I accidentally rubbed against a rock."

"If I don't come, you plan to sit like this."

Bu Jinglan's gaze was on his ankle all the time, as if turning into substance, with a slight smile, thoughtful.

Xu He's scalp was about to explode.

Feel super weird.

He truthfully said: "No, I know the way and can go out."

As he spoke, he subconsciously shrank his legs back.

Bu Jinglan smiled lowly: "Then you are really smart," the subject changed again, "You were the one who called the maid and waited outside?"

Xu He, "Yes... just in case."

He couldn't even care about the pain of the wound now, so he wanted to leave quickly.

Getting along with Bu Jinglan always gave him a sense of oppression.

He leaned on the wall and was about to stand up.

Bu Jinglan took all his small movements into his eyes, knowing that he resisted contact... then he wanted to contact even more.

He smiled generously, and stretched out his hand to support Xu He, "Come on, you are injured, I will help you."

Xu He: ...how about you go?

He smiled firmly: "No, don't bother my cousin."

"Didn't you help me that night during the Jingzhe night?"

His sleeves were as cold as water, and his fingertips were cold as well.

When Xu He heard him mention that night, he was very speechless. Big brother, you should lie to me and say that you were injured. Well, he twitched the corners of his lips: "My injury is not serious."

Bu Jinglan grabbed his shoulders and smiled lowly: "Really."

Xu He avoided his hand and said, "Are you looking for me?"

Bu Jinglan withdrew his hand calmly and smiled: "Yes."

Xu He didn't know what to say, "Oh."

Bu Jinglan holds the lamp in front.

The light fell from the top of his head, Xu He walked a few steps, and then felt a very clear pain coming from his ankle.

The pain made him want to gasp, but he held back.

But at this time, Bu Jinglan was still smiling and talking to him non-stop.

"You came here alone?"

"Ah."

"It's strange. I passed by this place countless times on weekdays. For the first time, I realized that there is a hole in it. Is this hole always open here?"

"...Yes, it's open when I come," Xu He held back the pain spreading to his scalp, "It's open when I come."

Bu Jinglan tilted his head and smiled: "Really, then you are also brave. The trails in this cave are intricate and complicated. If it weren't for your fingerprints, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find you."

Xu He: "Well——"

"Where did you find it by looking for the sound of water?"

"Hmm... hiss."

shit.

As soon as the wind in the cave blew, a little humid air swept across the wound, but he still couldn't hold back, and let out a soft breath of pain.

……finally.

Bu Jinglan stopped in his tracks, with a slight sneer on the corner of his lips, and lazily said: "Can't help it?"

Xu He: "..."

Bu Jinglan sneered, and said: "Is the injury not serious?——What are you trying to do with me?"

Xu He: ...Brother, you are really annoying.

Putting down the lamp, Bu Jinglan pulled Xu He's wrist with his hand, and before Xu He regained consciousness, he half-closed his eyes and hugged him.

Extravagant cool fragrance, oncoming.

Xu He covered his face, feeling hopeless, then calmed down and said, "Thank you, cousin."

Forget it, stop being silly.

Bu Jinglan lowered his eyes and said softly: "You're welcome."

The boy is very light, so light that it is unbelievable.

His gaze swept over Xu He's eyebrows indifferently, but what he repeated in his mind was the look of the young man in black sitting in front of the stone gate looking at him with tears in his eyes when the candle light first came on.

A glance at Fengyue can be credited.

……it's beautiful.

He admired without emotion in his heart.

He also thought of the wound on the young man's white ankle, the blood was gushing out, the red and white were vivid, and it was shockingly beautiful.It turns out that a person can stay so beautiful even with blood.

Walking out of the cave, in the shadow of the ivy, Bu Jinglan's smile became cold, a little playful and thoughtful.

When the maid saw that Xu He was carried out by Bu Jinglan, she panicked, she jumped up and saw the wound on Xu He's foot, tears were about to fall: "Young master, don't worry, this servant is going to call Physician."

Xu He couldn't help but feel anxious. Looking at the top of the mountain, the last play was almost over.If he doesn't fall into the water today, it will be too late.

He said: "Cheng Chengcheng, you go to the imperial physician first. I will do it here for a while now."

He tugged at Bu Jinglan's sleeve, panicking, "Cousin, thank you, you go ahead, just put me on that rock."

He didn't know the severity of his jerky movements, and his voice would involuntarily raise his voice.

But because she was still in someone else's arms, she felt a little coquettish for no reason.

Bu Jinglan lowered his head, a little gentle: "Yes."

After putting Xu He on the stone, he straightened his sleeves and left with a smile.

Xu He sat back on the stone, his heart in his throat, his eyes wandered around, and he happened to meet the eyes of the attic across the lake who didn't know the bitterness.It probably means "Why don't you dance!"

Seeing him, Xu He breathed a sigh of relief, so seeing no one around, he quietly walked to the river, then pretended to slip on the moss, and fell into the pond with a bang.

Before going far, Bu Jinglan wanted to see what Xu He was up to, "..." It's kind of interesting.

The opera stopped for the first time, and the whole hall was quiet.

So the sound of falling water was loud.

Startled everyone.

The eldest princess was the first to notice something was wrong, and when she came over, her face turned pale when she saw Xu He struggling in the water.

"Hurry up and save people—!"

The eldest princess tightly grasped the servant girl's arm with her fingers, looked back, and said in a panic.

There are mostly female relatives here, and everyone is in a mess in an instant.

The voices were noisy and chaotic.

Xu He pretended to be struggling, and then subtly swam to the other bank of the lake. He was covered by the water and hair, but he also saw a corner of the monk's robe, as white as a lotus blooming in the wind.

shit.

Xu He stretched out his hand, just in time to hold it with the left hand that I didn't know stretched out.

Fingers clasped in the air.

I don't know the lotus in the palm of my hand blooms quietly, and the silver light is faint.

Xu He wanted to pretend to faint.

He clearly heard the crying voice of the eldest princess, the chaotic conversations of a group of female relatives, and the sound of footsteps in a hurry.

Moonlight into yarn.

Finally, the monk sighed lightly.

The monk lowered his eyes, there was no expression on the holy face, and there was no smile in his voice.

Like a bell, it wakes up the ignorant and understands everything, the sound is cold, piercing through the world of mortals.

Two words.

"Injustice."
