Chapter 27: Mei Xiang Xue Ying Chun Li Luo

When they entered Yige City, several roads were separated, south to Four Sides Building, east to Lingwang Mansion, west to Feng Mansion. They reined in the roadside, and asked eleven: "How to go?"
Ye Tianling looked at Qing Chen, and Qing Chen looked out along the Chuyan River, seeming to be thinking something, and suddenly turned back and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Si, send me to Feng Mansion."
After Ye Tianling was silent for a moment, he said: "You don't have to worry about my mobilization of the Xuanjia army. If I did this, I must have said to my father."
Qing Chen said: "Feng Xiang has already said something like that in front of the Emperor of Heaven. My daughter seems to have confirmed it. She can't hide. It's better not to hide. I have nowhere to hide." She shook the horse whip in her hand. Wrapped in a circle, half-truth sighed: "As soon as I entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea. I don't know if I was lucky or bad luck. The two majesty should not forget to send a gift to congratulate Miss Feng Jia's ancestor. Guizong, it's best to discount the marigold, silver vase and jade ruyi."
Seeing Ye Tian Ling Jian's eyebrows frowned, his eleven handsome faces were sad, Qing Chen smiled and beat the horse first. The eleventh came up to look at her, and asked: "Have you been with the twelfth brother often recently?"
"Yes, we almost played Yige City all over." Qing Chen said, "What's wrong?"
Eleven shook his head, and said: "No wonder this idiot looks exactly the same as him. If he and you are added, how can I live in Tiandu from now on!"
Qing Chen's eyebrows flew slantingly, and he smiled and said, "If others say it, you may be really upset!" Before he could say anything, he suddenly swung his whip and drew it behind him. When he was startled, he withdrew the whip again. Failed, it turned out to be just to scare him.
The eleven handsome eyes raised and said: "Okay, how dare you call me!" His hands shook slightly, and the whip was wrapped around like a snake. He immediately swept Qing Chen's whip to give her a little punishment, but Hearing her suddenly shouted: "Come here! Someone is bullying the girls!"
Although the sound was not loud, it attracted many people nearby to look strangely. Eleven was stunned, and when the bottom of her hand loosened, she was dragged off the whip with her backhand, and glared at her: "What a villain!"
Qing Chen rode his horse to hide behind Ye Tianling, and threw a triumphant smile by the way: "Have you never heard of it, it's hard to raise women and villains?"
Ye Tianling was nearby, watching her quietly and Shi Xiaoxiao. When Qing Chen passed by in front of his horse, he suddenly discovered that, because of the warm light of the setting sun, his face was so soft that he had a faint smile, clear and soft.
She suddenly felt that if such a smile appeared on his face, the cold winter would also turn into spring. The wind is light and warm, the flowers are fragrant, the mountains are high, the water flows eastward, and the young Qiuma is so happy, and it is worthwhile to grow romantic.
That night, Feng Mansion was beaming up and down. The next day, Qing Chen received a gift.
In the Fengfu garden, Qin Yue held a small sandalwood box in his hand and handed it to Qing Chen: "His Royal Highness heard that Miss Feng is back, let me bring this."
Qing Chen took it and saw that there was the set of jade jade four gentlemen cups in the box. She knew that it was Ye Tianzhan's favorite thing, but now she gave it to her as a whole. His mind is still so light and faint but very clear. She got the cup in her hand, and she couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
Gently stroking the pattern on the cup, she closed the box and handed it to Qin Yue: "You will take it back for me and tell His Highness Seventh, I can't accept such a valuable thing."
Qin Yue was embarrassed: "The girl, please stay, if I take it back like this, I will definitely be scolded to death by His Highness."
Qing Chen smiled and said: "No, your highness has a good temper."
Qin Yue frowned and continued to speak. Suddenly he saw Qing Chen looking away. Someone behind him smiled lightly: "It seems that a person with a good temper is sometimes not a good thing." Ye Tianzhan walked slowly towards him. Raising his hand, he hurriedly handed things up with both hands and stepped back first.
Qing Chen didn't expect Ye Tianzhan to come to Fengfu in person, and said with a helpless smile: "If a person who is usually mild has a temper, it will be really scary."
"Have I scared you?" Ye Tianzhan asked with a smile.
"No," Qing Chen said, "That's because I don't provoke you."
Ye Tianzhan smiled with handsome eyes, and handed the jasper cup to her eyes: "Take it, remember you said that using this set of cups to enjoy tea is just a pleasure to watch."
Qing Chen said: "If you don't accept it, can you see what it's like to be angry?" Having said that, after all, he reached out and took the box.
Ye Tianzhan smiled gently and said, "I naturally have times when I am angry, but I will not treat you."
The smile in Qing Chen's eyes paused slightly, and asked casually: "Today the Queen Mother has her birthday, why are you not in Yanxi Palace?"
Ye Tianzhan said: "I didn't have time to come, but I knew that you were back to Feng Mansion, so I couldn't help but want to come and have a look. It's rare that you have enough time outside and you are willing to come home."
Listening to his tone of voice with a mellow smile, Qing Chen felt a little strange in his heart, but the word "home" appeared abruptly. She raised her eyes to look at the surrounding Xuanhuang courtyard: "Suddenly there is After such a "home", I really don't get used to it, and I feel a little boring in just one day."
Ye Tianzhan smiled handsomely: "Compared with the lively song and dance outside, Xiangfu Shenyuan is indeed a bit monotonous. But it's okay. In the future, if you want to go back to the four-side building, I will take time to accompany you."
Qing Chen snapped a leaf and held it in her hand, standing there looking at him deeply, then sighed, "You always knew I was on the four sides, right?"
Ye Tianzhan lowered his head and smiled and said, "Although I have only listened to your piano once, it is impossible to forget it."
Qing Chen thought that since these days, the surrounding buildings have been so fanciful and there are few provocations and troubles. It must be his maintenance behind him. That day, when Wei Qian was drunk, he was able to resolve it. From the first day of acquaintance, he always stretched out his hand when she needed it, covering her heart warmly. If she is always by his side, she doesn't know any woman who can escape such tenderness and consideration, and she can't help taking a step back, saying: "I should have guessed so, I really want to thank you all around."
Ye Tianzhan said: "Actually, I didn't do anything, but the dance hall is different from other places after all. You always make people feel a little worried there."
"Thanks anyway." Qing Chen whispered.
After a long time without seeing Ye Tianzhan speaking, she looked up strangely, but was seeing a very slight loss on his face flashing away: "This sounds very strange." He said lightly.
Qing Chen lowered his eyes, but responded silently. If she was rejecting him, then every deliberate avoidance seemed so pale in his breezy smile, which even made her suspect that she had been following a wrong decision and doing very absurd things.
She prefers Ye Tianzhan to be like Li Tang, pretending to be affectionate and deceptive, perhaps then she can spurn or retaliate in a decisive manner, which will be more relaxed than now.
Ye Tianzhan had something to do, and he only stood for a while before rushing back to the palace. Qing Chen escorted him to the door of Xiangfu. When he left, he had to turn around and go back to the mansion. He heard someone calling out from behind, "Girl Feng!"
She looked back and saw a young man walking over, with a light armour and mysterious clothes, which seemed a bit familiar. While thinking about it, the man held the sword hilt in a salute, and she suddenly remembered that this was Ye Tianling's guard commander Wei Long March, who had seen him on the Prancing Horse Bridge that night.
Wei Changzheng stepped forward and gave her two packages of things in his hands, and said: "His Royal Highness asked me to send two things to the girl." Qing Chen weighed it and felt that one of the packages seemed to be a few books, so he raised his hand and opened it. "Oh," he was overjoyed.
Inside are the medical books lost in Pingdi Mountain. Some papers were stained with water and the writing became blurred. Someone used a pen to make up more or less. The sharp front of the pen looked like Ye Tianling. Handwriting. The other package was Qianyuefang’s dim sum. Seeing that half of it was the Lingye pastry she loved, she was excited, and smiled and said to Wei Changzheng: "I’m sorry, go back and tell the Fourth Royal Highness, just... Said that he still owes me the Honey Crispy Pigeon from Chang Le Fang!"
Wei Changzheng seemed to have a smile that could not be concealed: "His Royal Highness still has a word, saying that the things in Changlefang should be out of the oven. I heard that a lot of snacks from the Western Regions have been added recently. Let's taste it together."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "Thank you so much."
The 80th birthday of the Queen Mother is very grand because it is a whole life. The Tiandu Nine-Nine-Eight-Eleven Square Huazhang Yicai celebrates grandly. The Emperor of Heaven prays for the mother to pay for the longevity and decree an amnesty. The whole world will rise to peace, and the whole world will celebrate.
The Queen Mother gave a banquet to Yanxi Palace that night, and countless glazed longevity lanterns were lit in the palace, and the brilliance was dazzling into the sky. The green eaves and the reflection in the Taiye pool reflected each other, like a jade pool feast.
Every few steps beside the dragon pillar, there is a maid holding a cloud crane palace lantern, illuminating the temple like daylight. From time to time, Gong E filed in and out, holding a jade plate, holding a gold cup, and a long skirt floating by, light footsteps, with a clear fragrance of wine.
The singer girl in front of the temple danced with long sleeves, graceful and colorful, lightly fanning about flying flowers, graceful voices around the beams, a gorgeous song and dance, singing and dancing, congratulating the Queen Mother for a long and long life, and she retreated like clouds.
Ye Tianling was talking to the prince beside him, and suddenly heard the queen mother yelling: "Ling'er."
"The grandson is here." Ye Tianling stood up and replied, "What is the order of the emperor's grandmother?"
The queen mother said: "It's been half a year since you went out with soldiers. Mobei Mountain is high and far away. I thought it would be difficult for you to catch up with today's birthday feast. Who knows that you are back. The emperor's grandmother is really happy."
Ye Tianling grew up in Yanxi Palace and grew up with the Queen Mother. He said: "The emperor grandmother has her 80th birthday. Grandson will come back for whatever she said, but she can’t be with her and be filial and ask her not to Blame the grandson."
The queen mother smiled and said: "What's wrong with this? The emperor's grandmother asks you, is the purple bamboo flute that you asked for from Yanxi Palace when you were a child still there?"
Ye Tianling replied: "Given from the emperor's grandmother, the grandson will naturally keep it well."
The Queen Mother turned her head and said to the Emperor of Heaven: "Ling Erxiao plays well, but I haven't listened to it for a long time."
The Emperor of Heaven also smiled and said: "He often leads soldiers outside, and I rarely hear it. How about borrowing the light of his mother's queen and asking him to play a birthday celebration for the mother's queen today?"
The queen mother said: "That's exactly what it means, Ling'er, do you appreciate the faces of your father and grandmother?"
Ye Tianling has never been against the Queen Mother: "Grandson obeys his orders. I'm just afraid that the flute sound is too light and the excitement is not enough, which will make the emperor grandmother happy."
The prince smiled and said: "Emperor grandmother, having a flute without a qin is a shortcoming. Why not invite a piano master to play with your fourth brother? Isn't it a lot of fun?"
The queen mother said to the prince: "This is a good idea, but Linger's arrogant temperament, which piano master can enter his eyes?"
Feng Luanfei was standing beside the Emperor of Heaven, and suddenly seeing Feng Yan winking at her, he immediately understood and leaned over to whisper a few words beside the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven heard this and said to Feng Yan: "I really forgot. I heard that the second daughter of the Feng family can play the piano so well that even Zhan'er's jade flute can be compared? I would like to hear it. I don't know what my mother wants. how is it?"
The queen mother nodded and said, "Is it the elder sister that Luan Fei mentioned? The Ai's family also wanted to see him a long time ago.
Get the decree from left to right, and immediately arrange the servant to go to Fengfu to declare the decree.
On this clear night in late autumn, Qing Chen stepped into the emperor's palace above the entire Yige City for the first time-Dazheng Palace.
Along the second glorious lights, as far as you can see, the full moon brilliance and ten thousand palace lanterns are strewn together, and the main hall and high pavilions are spread out magnificently under the radiance of light and shadow, and they are far away from the endless horizon.
The step corridor is radiant, looking back, you can see the inside and outside of Yige City. The day-by-day regular layout of the city turned into a huge red dust under the night lights, and the tall Taisho Palace was like a heaven, in charge of life and death.
Qing Chen never thought that the cogs of huge destiny would unchangeably fit along its established track from this night onwards, turning into the other's established destiny, changing her, and even everyone's future...
Under the guidance of Gong E, she entered the main hall of Yanxi Palace and saw Ye Tianling sitting next to the prince. Compared with this lively court feast, his azure blouse was a little solemn, and the gorgeous lights of the palace reflected in his eyes, slowly settling, adding a little warmth to that clear face.
Ye Tianling glanced lightly across her face, and picked up the purple bamboo flute from the silk satin tray in Gong E's hand.
Qing Chen leaned forward and bowed to the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"What a handsome girl." The queen mother said to Feng Yan with eyes full of admiration, "Feng Xiang is so blessed, all the children under her knees are extraordinary."
Feng Yan replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother Hongfu Qitian, the minister can't wait for your blessing."
The queen mother nodded with a smile, and asked Qing Chen: "Would you like to play a piece of tune to congratulate the family?"
Qingchen Road has already learned that it was for this, but he didn't expect that the ensemble would be Ye Tianling, and Yingying bowed down: "Qing Chen is so honored."
The servants on the left and right have prepared a case of the luan-patterned cirrus clouds and brought in Lianzhu Qiong Yaoqin. In the middle of the hall, Qing Chen knelt down in front of the case, slightly turned his head to adjust the string, and under the shadow of the golden lamp and jade, it seemed like a quiet scene. As Lin Lang counted softly with her finger, all the sounds in the hall were silent, slowly retreating into the pure world. She turned to Ye Tianling and said, "His Royal Highness, please." Ye Tianling's eyes fell to her, she smiled slightly and waited for him to lead the song.
The purple bamboo flute whirled in Ye Tianling's hands, touching his lips lightly, and a clear and ethereal flute sound floated out.
Everyone can only feel that their eyes and ears are clear. With the sound of the flute, the towering golden palace seems to be transformed into an ethereal world, a clean and pure white vast expanse. In Qiong Yao's jade snow, there seemed to be a delicate fragrance floating, accompanied by light snow falling to the world.
Unexpectedly, Qing Chen closed his eyes and listened, but the strings of his hands fell for a long time without moving.
The sound of the flute drifted away and was about to disappear. Suddenly, her fingers flicked across the strings at random, and the exquisite, clear voice was suddenly bright, as if a crystal clear luster bloomed in this white and flawless world, a piece of ice and jade.
Ye Tianling's Xiaoyin turned and raised when the piano sound floated out. Qing Chen flicked the strings gently, and every note followed the clear rise of the purple bamboo flute in such a perfect way. In the middle of the ice and snow, a little bit of winter plum blossomed in the wind, and a piece of intoxicating red and frosty snow fell between the heaven and the earth.
A faint smile appeared on her lips, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Tianling's deep eyes. There was an invisible vastness under her eyes, which was endless. There was a little starlight quietly blooming in the dark depths. From there she saw Hanmei's windy Lingao, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, who knew the beauty of the plum, the indomitable plum, the loneliness and loneliness of the plum. Follow him with the steep, piano sound like jade, and the clear low rhyme circulates in the wind and dances in this lonely phantom.
The sound of the Xiao is endless, like a song like weeping, the sound of the piano is refreshing, and it sings in a low voice, like a Xiao but no longer a Xiao, if the Qin is no longer a piano.
The magnificent Yanxi Palace seems to have appeared in a peaceful world, with snow shining brightly, sparse branches embellished with jade, and the breeze brought snow and plum fragrance. One is the green shirt upright, the other is the white clothes, which is amazing and fascinating, and it makes people feel full of thoughts, but this infinite demeanor lingers for a long time.
"Plum Blossom Falling" is collected in unvoiced sound, the flute sound is far, the piano sound is weak, Ye Tianling and Qing Chen bowed to the Queen Mother, and said in the same way: "Congratulations on the Queen Mother's longevity and long-lasting kindness."
"Okay, okay!" The Queen Mother said to Qing Chen with satisfaction, "Come over and let Aijia have a look."
Qing Chen got up with her gently folded, spread out behind her, and walked calmly up to the jade steps on the edge of the seat, and then gave a blessing to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother looked at her kindly and nodded frequently: "Well, she is both talented and beautiful, and knowledgeable." Fu smiled at the emperor again, "Where can I find such a good girl, the emperor, why don't we come to be a wife with Feng's family?" "
The Emperor of Heaven is also quite fond of Qing Chen, and said: "What the queen mother said is extremely true, just which grandson does you like to give to you?"
Qing Chen was shocked, and suddenly several eyes fell on her face. But the queen mother said: "Ling'er often leads soldiers outside, and there is no one in the mansion, it is not a way..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Tianling had already knelt down and interrupted the Queen Mother's words: "Grandma Emperor! Grandson..." He did not continue, and the Queen Mother suddenly stopped and did not continue.
Ye Tianling didn't have any waves on his face, Qing Chen saw something in his raised eyes. It was puzzling surprise, determination, indifference, and a hidden contradiction and pain. All the emotions flashed through his dark eyes, so fast that people wondered if it really existed.
Yanxi Palace suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence, and no one spoke.
The short silence disappeared instantly, and the Queen Mother looked at Ye Tianling worriedly, and sighed: "Never mind, forget it."
It seemed that several people were relieved at the same time. On the side, Ye Tianzhan immediately smiled to the Queen Mother and said: "Grandma, Feng Xiang has just found her daughter, so you married out. How can Feng Xiang and his wife be willing?"
The originally stagnant atmosphere suddenly loosened with his funny and gentle voice, and the spring breeze blew his face. Feng Yan followed with a smile and said: "The empress dowager loves her, this is a blessing for the little girl."
Luan Fei and his father looked at each other, and hurriedly said with a smile to the queen mother: "If the mother really likes my sister, it is better to keep her by your side. Our sisters can also see each other often. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Qing Chen was shocked, and after hearing this, his eyes fell to Feng Yan, and then looked at Luan Fei silently.
The queen mother asked Qing Chen: "Girl, are you willing?"
Qing Chen was silent for only a moment, and the doubts in his heart never showed the slightest in the smile, and respectfully bowed down to the Queen Mother: "Qing Chen is young and sensible. In the future, I will ask the Queen Mother to give more advice."
"That's great." The Queen Mother said to Ye Tianling, "Ling'er, go back and sit down and fine you a glass of wine."
"Yes." Ye Tianling replied indifferently, returning to the table, drank the wine in front of him, and then filled a glass by himself. He didn't look at Qing Chen again all night.
Qing Chen followed the Queen Mother, occasionally turning his eyes to see Ye Tianling's thin profile face, remembering that a man with thin lips was ruthless in his heart a long time ago. Ye Tianling's cold and sharp lips resembled a sharp blade, silently sliding across him, clearly separating him from everyone.
At that moment, everything such as awe-inspiring, apprehension, fright, etc., was not as sour in my heart when I saw his reaction.
Rejecting it, Qing Chen smiled bitterly at herself and told everyone that clearly that he was unwilling.
Why is it so difficult to calm down in my heart? Fingers were gently squeezed under the wide sleeves, she couldn't help laughing at herself, a woman, the incarnation of vanity, even if she was rejected by someone she didn't want, she would feel unfair. So, what about him?
Xinmu had seen the dinner, except for Ye Tianling, who was immersed in drinking, Prince, Ye Tianzhan, Eleven, and Ye Tianli all looked to themselves intentionally or unconsciously.
Or soothing, or smiling, or warm, or a little bit of joking. But there was a gaze that brought a clear uneasiness-Ye Tianming, his palpitation gaze, since her heart that was not very easy since she had been weighed down, as if deliberately left a track that could not be ignored mark.
