Qingchuan History

Chapter 309 Bright night comes, the city is full of day brocade ([-])

Shangguan concubine seemed to be surprised, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's a pity that your majesty only favors Mrs. Pei and ignores sister. In my opinion, sister, you are smart and generous, and you are not inferior to Mrs. Pei. If you really want to talk about the appearance of your mother, it is even more important." It should be above Sister Pei." Saying this, he went to look at the paper kite under the night,
"The old sword has a deep love, Nanyuan's last love, the reason why my sister doesn't care much, or is it because of this? Is this paper kite related to the former prince?"

The sparkle in Ji Wanling's eyes moved.

Shangguan concubine just watched her reaction and saw it.

"It turns out that my sister hasn't let go." I was even more surprised, "Then why did you enter the palace? It's Your Majesty——"

But Ji Wanling's expression suddenly changed.

Shangguan concubine was startled, followed the other party's line of sight and raised her head, only to see a magical lamp ignited at the very back of the kite, and the fire quickly rose, igniting the entire line of lanterns at a speed that the naked eye could not distinguish, and then It spread again, and the flames suddenly lit up, forming a large area in an instant.

Ji Wanling had already lifted her steps, and almost trotted to Heng'er's side, grabbed the spool and hurriedly pulled it back.

How can there be time?
The flames had already risen above the paper kite, and the kite began to descend when the string was drawn, but the fire danced with the wind, getting bigger and bigger, burning hotter and hotter.

"Miss, let go, it will burn your hands!" Heng'er was in a hurry, ignoring etiquette, and rushed forward to grab the spool.

But it won't burn at all.

When the voice fell, the lead wire broke.

Under the night, a large group of flamboyant fireworks drifted in the sky like duckweed, and the paper and silk were all out of sight. Maybe it was skeleton fragments or ashes falling like snowflakes, the scene was intense and dark. Spectacular, but also very weird.

Since the fire started, Shen Ji sent people to follow him.At this time, the burning paper kite was pushed by the wind all the way south, and as expected, it seemed to fall into the deep water like ink in Hulan Lake.

The other end of the blown wire has fallen silently to the green grass.

The spool was still held in Ji Wanling's hand.

Gu Chunfeng, Ruan Xueyin and Duan Xirun arrived at the scene one after another.The atmosphere was unspeakable, they didn't get too close, they all stood not far away to watch the ashes of the flames fall into the deep night lake.

"Madam Zhen," Gu Chunfeng said, with an unpredictable expression and tone, "What did you say in the morning? If the magic lamp spontaneously ignites in the air and turns into ashes, it means that the person who put the lamp was thinking of did not receive the gratitude." ?”

Duan Xirun was a little stunned.

She has seen many such situations in Baiguo.It's actually normal.But at this moment, the atmosphere, this person and this scene, inexplicably made her feel uneasy.And more than a dozen kites flew into the air, except for himself and Ruan Xueyin who didn't hang magic lamps, all the kites with lanterns were fine.

"That's what the old people say." After a long while, she replied, exactly the same as the sentence in the morning, and then subconsciously asked, "Who is Mrs. Yu thinking about?"

In the Ji family's house, all the close relatives are there, and the eldest princess gave birth to Lin'er in two months, which is a great joy for three generations to live together.

At this point, she was about to be inexplicable.

And suddenly reacted.

Gu Chunfeng glanced at Ruan Xueyin.

Ruan Xueyin glanced back, remained silent, and said for a while: "I still have to ask Mrs. Zhen to explain to Mrs. Yu." After thinking about it, "Don't talk so mysteriously. Lights burning in the air are easy to ignite paper and silk. For common sense, Xirun, you have seen a lot in Baiguo, so it is the most convincing."

"That's right." Chunfeng hurriedly echoed, "It's just flying a kite and hanging some lights. Why is it so particular? In my opinion, it's the principle that the wind helps the fire grow. This way, eight out of ten have to be ignited." .” Also to Duan Xirun,

"This paper kite is her old thing. It's precious like life. Mrs. Zhen, please speak slowly, and don't say too much. If you say too much, you will make mistakes." Then he turned his head and raised his voice to the people on the grass, "Okay, okay, tonight Come here, pack up, and prepare to go back to each house."

Duan Xirun has already fully reacted.She felt that she was responsible and didn't dare to delay, so she hurried to Ji Wanling's place, and she was secretly glad that these old people didn't tell anyone else in the palace, and it would be easy to explain at this time.

The lamps of Gu Chunfeng and Shangguan Concubine had already flown to extremely high places.According to the customs of the Bai Kingdom, they each cut the lead wires, the magic lamp gradually faded, merged into the stars, and finally disappeared into the night, it must have gone to the end of the sky and the corner of the sea.

Ruan Xueyin didn't hang up the magic lamp.The fish also flew very high, and gradually lost its track until it was completely invisible. She took the scissors and cut the lead wire in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, what you put on is not a magic lamp at all," Gu Chunfeng leaned over and curled his lips, "Why do you learn from us to cut the thread?"

Ruan Xueyin was noncommittal, "It has flown so far, is it possible to pull it back?"

Gu Chunfeng thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes. But why don't you hang up the lamp? Is there no one to mourn?"

"There is no one to mourn." Ruan Xueyin replied, as a matter of course.

Gu Chunfeng blinked.Her father is alive and well.Teachers and junior sisters are also alive and well.Those brothers and sisters in Yin Palace——

She didn't know much, but she guessed it, maybe she didn't know it, and with Ruan Xueyin's temper, she wouldn't take it to heart.

Where is mother?As she thought about it, she opened her mouth to ask.

"I haven't seen it. I can't mourn. I don't know whether I should mourn." In the past, Ruan Xueyin would not answer this question.But maybe it was because he had already discussed with Gu Xinglang, or should I say, faced him directly?She doesn't find it difficult at the moment.

After hearing this, Gu Chunfeng found it difficult.How can I answer this?Mother, is there any talk about whether you should mourn or not?
"I'll go over for a while." Hearing Ruan Xueyin's greeting, he ended the topic and walked to Duan Xirun's place on the north side of the grassland.

Ji Wanling has already left.Duan Xirun seemed to have finished persuading, and was carefully collecting the kite with several maidservants.

The azure-gold color is dotted with a hundred birds facing the phoenix kite.Don't miss this opportunity.

Shen Ji came over and stood next to Gu Chunfeng.

"His Royal Highness's magic lamp was released smoothly?"

"Successful. I just cut the thread." Gu Chunfeng replied casually, and immediately reacted, turning to look at him, "Didn't you be there all night, did you see it? You asked." He stared at the dark and resolute face of the other party for a while, "Ji That brat Qi, you can keep an eye on him, I'll bury you," paused again, his voice lowered, "he was present the whole time, and he knew better than you. I really regret that I shouldn't ask him to help. Why did Brother Nine let him Take me to the border? I—”

"Naturally. Don't worry, Your Highness." Shen Ji said, timely and timely, "Your Majesty's arrangement has its own reasons. Once you make an arrangement, you will be able to cover it." Looking at Chunfeng again, his expression is rare and complicated, "Your Highness is still the same as before. How nice. These things are not fun, just ignore them."

Gu Chunfeng was startled.

"Really?" She looked at him.

Confined by the etiquette of superiority and inferiority, as well as the difference between men and women, Shen Ji rarely looked directly at Gu Chunfeng.When I was a teenager, there were very few occasions, when I was threatened by her at the border in the past autumn, I would definitely take my aunt to Xiangshan once.Tonight is another time.

There was no one around, the lake breeze on a spring night passed through the early blooming vegetation, he hesitated for a moment, looked up at her,
"Your Highness can do whatever you want. People have choices in any situation."

People have choices in any situation.

Gu Chunfeng repeated involuntarily.

At that time in the cold palace, Ah Xie also said this to her.Almost word for word.After she finished speaking, she left instructions and gave a sachet, and left since then and never came back.

"Shen illness." The warmth in early spring couldn't bear the night, the lake wind passed by again and again, and finally brought some chills, "To this day, you know all about the few things I have experienced. Should you pay attention to it or not, To be honest, I don't really want to understand. But there is one thing, I think I understand it completely." She paused for a moment,

"People have choices in any situation. This sentence is a false title. There are pros and cons in everything, and some pros and cons are tolerated. The combination is a person's choice. Picking pros and cons, so you say, there is a choice .” She paused for another moment,

"It's not that simple. People can't live by reason alone. People still have hearts, feelings, beliefs and obsessions. Adding these in, sometimes there is only one choice left. There is only one choice left, or nothing Choose?"

Shen Ji was silent for a long time.Until the lake wind is more severe.

"Your Majesty would not wish His Highness to do this."

"I didn't want it before." Gu Chunfeng said, and turned to look at the water of Hulan Lake in the night, "He knows everything. He must understand."
