Chapter 44 Asking Mei on a Snowy Night (2)
He raised the wine glass to his lips, the wine was mellow and sweet, but the taste gradually changed in his mouth.

Seeing him drinking heavily, Shao Pei didn't try to dissuade him, instead he said with a smile: "Let's get drunk today, you've had a hard time these few years."

Pei Yunkuang's heart warmed, and he smiled at Shao Pei.There are very few people who can see his hardships in their eyes and put them in their hearts, and there is one other person, probably she?He still remembered that time when he was "assassinated", she hurried to Guifuyuan and stood in front of his bed, the tears on her face became more and more precious to him.

"Uncle, go back and rest." After Shao Pei left, he suddenly had a strong desire to realize it without delay, as if he was about to lose something at a moment's notice.

He stood up and walked out the door.

In the chess club, the lights in Si Tian's room were still on.She was sitting there wondering whether to turn off the lights and go to sleep first.Shang Yu came every night, and there was light snow in the night sky. I don't know if he will come tonight?

She turned off the light and sat quietly in front of the window for a while, then turned it back on again. She didn't know why, whether it was because she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to fall asleep when he came, or because she was a little used to him coming every night. ?She has been dazed by his obsession for several nights, unable to sort out her thoughts.

The waiting made her a little uneasy.Suddenly, she heard slight footsteps in the corridor, she stood up, a little flustered but quietly relieved, he finally came, no matter the wind or snow.

She stepped forward and opened the door, and the night breeze brought in a moist air, fresh and cool.She was stunned, Pei Yunkuang was standing in front of the door.

Dust-like fine snow was flying around the lights in the corridor.His slender and tall figure was set off by a suit of brocade clothes, but his handsome face was a bit desolate and lonely due to the stillness of the night and the white snow on his shoulders.

Snow was flying in front of the porch, and the light illuminated a white and light space. Behind him seemed to be a curtain of off-white, just to set off his splendor.

His eyes were deep, looking at her thoughtfully.A moment of stupefaction condensed between the two, the velvet was flying, and there was silence. The two seemed to have not seen each other for a long time, but when they met suddenly, there was no way to talk about it.

She was a little nervous, why did he come?
"Si Tian, ​​is your injury healed?" He smiled lightly, as if a scent of fragrance would be blown away by the wind at any time.

She bowed her head and gave a slight salute: "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. You will be well soon."

He took a step forward, looked at her shoulder, and asked softly: "Since it's all over, come back with me the day after tomorrow."

She nodded and lowered her eyes slightly to look at the ground in front of his toes.Snow fell on the floor tiles, a tidal darkness.

He sighed faintly, so she smelled the faint scent of wine, did he drink?She slightly raised her eyelids, and through the dim light in the corridor, she saw a gentle blush in his fair complexion.

He didn't say anything, just stared at her, turned around and raised his hand to take down the lantern under the corridor.

She was a little surprised by his behavior.

Holding the lantern in his hand, he turned around and said, "Si Tian, ​​the plum blossoms in the chess club are all in bloom, just let me go and have a look."

She was startled, looking at Mei under the lamp on a snowy night?His leisure and elegance surprised her a little.

She silently followed behind him, and he was carrying a lantern. The light and shadow in the thin snow, like sparks on a summer night, illuminated the gravel path under their feet.The tiny strands of snow fell on the cheeks, cool and moist, as if piercing into the heart, making people feel calm.

There is a plum forest in front of the chess club.At night, the fragrance of flowers is extraordinarily mellow.

He went in, lifted the lantern, held it up to the plum branch, and looked at it carefully, as if he was really admiring the plum.

The warm light dims his face in front of the plum blossoms, revealing the elegance and aloofness.From time to time, snowflakes fell on the plum petals and melted quickly.

Standing behind him, she felt a slight worry in her heart.He must have something on his mind, right?Tonight, he is out of the world, like a hermit.He shouldn't be like this at this moment, there must be a reason for his abnormal behavior.She couldn't care anymore, she had let herself go.

He didn't look at her, and whispered to a plum blossom: "Do you know, the queen mother gave me a marriage, and it was Princess Qingping."

She froze for a moment, suppressing the fluctuations and surprises in her heart, as well as a touch of sadness.Knowing that this was inevitable, but hearing it was still a heavy blow in my heart.Because emotion is never persuaded by reason, it is willful, inexplicable, and helpless.But fortunately, there is reason to bind it, like a kite in the sky, it still has a string.She became more and more firm in her mind, and it was inevitable to give up.

"Among a hundred flowers, the earliest flowering period is probably the spring jasmine, and the plum blossom is the latest." He didn't look back, not wanting to see the expression on her face when she heard about the gift of marriage. He just looked at the plum blossom and said: "Although the plum blossom blooms late However, literati and poets sing the most poems."

She listened to what he was almost talking to herself, the snow in front of her seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, would it stop after only an hour?

He put down the lantern and looked back.The lantern hung on his waist, the light dimmed, and his face was blurred, which made her feel more and more distant.

"Late things may be better, like plum blossoms."

She frowned, not quite sure what he wanted to express?
He paused: "Can you wait for me for a while? What I can give you may be late, but it must be very good."

She was so flustered that she couldn't answer, she didn't expect him to say it clearly and give her a clear promise.A feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.This unrequited admiration has no regrets because of his words.

Seeing that she didn't answer, he whispered: "I know that you love yourself wisely, and you are peaceful and indifferent. I can't choose things that cannot be changed, but you will be the most special one in my heart."

It is the most special, but it is not the only one after all.This is the best he can do, but it's still not her choice. He is very frank, and she understands it very well.Therefore, this feeling can only end without a problem, turning into a memory, or buried deeply, or forgotten.

She met his gaze, took a long breath, and said softly: "My lord talked about plum blossoms, and this servant couldn't help but think of Concubine Mei. Xuanzong secretly gave her a pearl, and she returned it, and wrote a poem to attach it. There are two sentences in my memory: Nagato has no grooming, so why use pearls to comfort loneliness."

Her clear and penetrating eyes carried a sense of insight that didn't match her young age.As he stared, his heart fell like snow.

She continued in a low voice: "I also saw a beggar who begged for a sweet potato and gave half of it to his wife. In my heart, that pearl is not as good as that half of a sweet potato."

He looked at her fixedly and understood what she meant.

She smiled slightly: "Your Highness is the one who accomplishes great things, and Princess Qingping is his good match. In the future, she will be able to rule the world side by side with His Highness. Si Tian wants to congratulate His Highness."

He was disappointed and speechless, he couldn't give her what she wanted, but he couldn't bear to let her go.Her tone of congratulations was very sincere, and she was genuinely happy for him.

Still not reconciled, he raised the lantern, looked into her clear and beautiful eyes, and said quietly, "Don't you have any affection for me?"

His eyes were clear and bright, she looked away, and said calmly: "Who wouldn't be emotional with someone like the prince? Si Tian is very self-aware and knows what he wants. After the family's defeat, I also see through the glory and wealth. It's Fuyun, I don't like power, and I don't like too complicated a life. I just want to be with my mother and have the life of my father and mother. It's enough to have one person for my whole life." Her voice was a little choked, and she talked a lot. , will never be said.

He swallowed hard the depression in his throat, suppressing the disappointment in his heart.At this moment, Wan Lai was silent, the two were clearly standing together, but they both felt a sense of parting in their hearts.

The snow is silent and the plum is fragrant.

For her, this feeling originated from a snow, and finally a snow, hazy like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, at this moment, it is already a kind of perfection, left to memory and time to melt, just like falling No one has seen the fine snow on the plum petals, only the plum blossoms know that snow has come.

He sighed quietly, turned around silently and said, "Go back."

Si Tian turned sideways and followed behind him.

Suddenly, both of them were startled!
Shang Yu didn't know when he was standing beside the plum grove, a plum blossom slanted on his shoulder, his face was as cold as if it had been stained by ice and snow.
