Rebirth after waste

Chapter 98

Gu Yunxian still lives in Liuyu Hall this time, so he is quite familiar with it.It was colder up the mountain than down the mountain, so she ordered the palace servants to burn the earth dragon in the hall vigorously, and then tucked into the warm quilt to get ready to sleep.

Cai Jia asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, won't you wait? Maybe your Majesty will wait a while..."

"I'm very tired, so I won't wait any longer." She said vaguely, "If His Majesty comes over, you can apologize for me."

After saying this, she turned her back, not to look at the bewildered gaze behind her.

She thought in her heart that even if he came over, he would be too embarrassed to wake her up when he saw that she was asleep.Even if he insisted on calling her, she could still pretend to be asleep.All in all, unless it is absolutely necessary, absolutely ignore him.

After making up her mind, she closed her eyes silently, her ears paying attention to the movement by the door.

Fortunately, he didn't come over tonight.

Waking up early the next morning, Gu Yunxian finally got his wish and saw the heavy snow on Maoshan.

There are large flakes of snowflakes, like goose feathers, flying all over the sky.The snow-covered Maoshan is just as the emperor said at the beginning, every plant and tree are like ice sculptures, so beautiful.

Gu Yunxian leaned against the window and watched the heavy snow for a while, then suddenly said to Ah Ci, "Bring me my cloak."

"Miss wants to go out?" A Ci was surprised, "It's snowing so much now, Miss should go later."

Gu Yunxian's expression remained unchanged, and he repeated: "Bring me my cloak."

Ah Ci had no choice but to go get her a cloak.

In snowy weather, everyone likes to wear some bright colors, and Ah Ci also chose a cloak for her according to this standard.The bright red satin was rolled with a layer of soft mink fur. After Gu Yunxian put it on, besides being plain and elegant, it rarely showed a bit of beauty.

"I'm going out for a walk, don't follow me." She said, took a green silk umbrella, not allowing them to refuse, turned and left.

Perhaps it was because the snow was falling so heavily that there was no one outside, and it was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of the snow pressing on the branches.

Holding an umbrella, Gu Yunxian walked alone on the path of the hot spring palace.All eyes were broken jade and chaotic jade, and the sky and the earth were pure white, which made her heart seem to have become clean.

Those blood and human lives seemed to be far away from her.

She remembered that when she was 12 years old, she came to the prosperous Yudu for the first time.Before that, she had been living in a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, and her family had some fields, so she had no worries about food and clothing.However, the Luo River flooded that year, flooding the place where she grew up and taking away her ancestral home and fields.

They had no fixed place to live, and in desperation, they had no choice but to go to Yudu to seek refuge with their distant relatives.

I was so young at the time, because I hadn't seen much of the world, so I was always a little timid.Living in the house of powerful relatives, I dare not say anything, for fear of being ridiculed.

At that time, her only wish was that her father could find a job as soon as possible and take her out from there.

She doesn't like such a rich, beautiful and unattainable place.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing wryly.

After so many years, she did go out from there, but came to a higher and unattainable place.

Her feet seemed to be stepping on clouds, and every step could not be realized, which made her afraid.

Turning a corner, the trees on both sides disappeared, and what appeared in front of her was a wide icy lake.

Gu Yunxian was slightly surprised, and immediately remembered that there is indeed a lake here.It is reasonable to freeze at this time of year.

She still remembered that in her first year in Yudu, she was dragged to skate by the sisters of the Gu family.At that time, she was standing on the ice, watching them slide gracefully in front of her, and she was crying in her heart.

She has never been able to do these too complicated movements.When I was a child, I learned to dance with my mother, and I couldn’t learn a piece of "Green Waist" for a month. I was heartbroken and commented as "a piece of dead wood that cannot be carved".She pitifully argued that she was good at reading, but her mother said that no matter how good she was at reading, she would not be able to take the female champion exam. It would be more useful to be able to dance, at least she could rely on this to win the favor of her husband in the future.

Thinking of her mother's fascination with her father because of her graceful dancing posture, she suddenly felt that the reason was too convincing, and nodded solemnly to show that she was educated.

However, to be taught is to be taught, but you still can't learn to dance.My mother worked hard for two years, but gradually gave up.She was happy and relaxed, and never worked hard on it again.

Therefore, when she thought that she had finally got rid of the nightmare, but suddenly encountered skating that was a hundred times more difficult than dancing, she felt very sad.

Obviously scared to death in my heart, but I can't show timidity on the face, I can only put on a smiling face, saying that I just want to watch them play.

Thinking about the past, she suddenly became interested, holding an umbrella in one hand and a skirt in the other, and stood on the ice carefully.

The ice was so thick that she was no different from standing on it.After taking two steps forward, her footsteps were steady, and she slowly let go of her heart.

Now that the snow was getting smaller, she walked to the center of the frozen lake and stretched her hand out of the umbrella to catch the falling snowflakes.

A touch of blue suddenly came into her eyes.She squinted her eyes and saw a man leaning on a railing in the gazebo in the distance.

It was too far away, and she couldn't see his face clearly.However, she doesn't need to see the face clearly, she can recognize who that person is just by looking at the figure.

Her figure is as tall and straight as a bamboo, with such a temperament, it cannot be someone else.

Cui Shuo.Where is he.

Suddenly slipped under her feet, she screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

The fall was so hard that she felt that all the bones in her body were hurting, and she couldn't help frowning.

The umbrella was thrown aside, and the snowflakes fell on her face, bringing a chill.When she was busy, she couldn't help complaining why she fell down every time in front of Cui Shuo.Does he think that she has a problem with her legs and feet, that she can't even walk well...

A person came to her side and squatted down.She turned her head to look, and bumped into Cui Shuo's pale complexion and his pitch-black pupils.

He was panting slightly, as if he had just run for a while.That's right, the distance between him and her wasn't too close just now, and he must have been running to get here so quickly.

But at this moment, she didn't have the heart to think about it, she just looked into his eyes blankly.

His eyes are very strange.Some were shocked, some were confused, and more were delighted.He just looked at her like that, as if he saw some lost and recovered treasure, or returned to the dream that haunted him.

For a moment, she even felt faint tears in his eyes.

Affected by his eyes, she also lost her language, and just stared blankly at him.

Snowflakes fell on them, but she could only see him.

His eyes are black and bright, and there are two small selves inside.Dressed in red, his face was pale.

She woke up suddenly and shrank back, "Master Cui."

He still didn't seem to react, and it took a while before he looked back.

Lowering his head, he looked at her blurred shadow on the ice, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Master Cui..." she called out again.

He raised his head, with a respectful and gentle expression, which is the most suitable expression for a courtier when facing a concubine, "My minister Cui Shuo, I have met Empress Chongyi."

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite." Gu Yunxian said, "I saw the heavy snow falling happily, so I came out for a stroll on the spur of the moment, but I didn't expect my lord to be here too. Excuse me."

"Why did your mother say that? If you said I was bothering you, it should have been said by the minister. I was not on duty in the morning and was bored, so I came to drink by the lake. I didn't want to offend my mother. I deserve death." He smiled. Every single word is more in line with your identity.

She was gradually relieved.Thinking about that moment just now, it was just her illusion.He wasn't looking at her, he couldn't be looking at her.

"Your Majesty, don't sit here on the ice, be careful of catching a cold." He said, stretching out his right arm, "Rong Chen helps you up."

She thanked him, put her hand on his forearm, pushed hard on the ice with the other hand, and slowly stood up.

He went to the side to pick up her umbrella again, but instead of handing it to her, he took the initiative to support her, "The snow is so heavy, even if my mother wants to come out to enjoy the snow, she should bring two palace servants. Otherwise, if something happens , but Zensheng is good?"

"I just want to be quiet and quiet, so I come out for a walk. If I bring someone with me, how can I be quiet?" There was helplessness in her voice, "What about my lord? Isn't it boring to drink alone here?"

He smiled slightly, "I have been alone for so many years, and I am used to it now."

There was too much loneliness in these words, she didn't know what to answer, so she had to remain silent.

Seeing that her eyes were fixed on the ice, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, watch out for your eyes."

She was taken aback when she heard the words, and couldn't help but smile after realizing it, "I forgot again, always looking at the snow will burn my eyes."

He also didn't know why he had to ask this sentence, "Have your eyes ever been hurt before?"

"Yes." She smiled, "It was the year when I first came to Yudu. Because I didn't know, I just stared at the snow, and then I took the medicine for half a month."

He looked at her without speaking.

But she suddenly became curious, "Your Excellency is so sensitive just now, could it be that a friend's eyes were injured like this before?"

He was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Yes. I once had a...friend whose eyes were burned by snow."

"Is he from the North?"

"No, she's from the South."

She understood, "That's no wonder. Southerners always forget this, unlike northerners who are used to seeing snow since childhood."

He smiled faintly, and looked at the snow-covered pine trees in the distance, the trembling pine branches, just like his heart at the moment.

He came to drink by the frozen lake today, because he was recalling the past.Many years ago, he saw her face clearly for the first time at the bank of the frozen lake.

At that time, he thought they could be together forever.

The warm wine poured into his stomach glass by glass, but it couldn't warm his cold heart.

Just as he finished his wine and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a fiery red figure slowly walking towards him by the lake in the distance.

That flash of bright color moves across the icy lake like a red cloud.

It once left the deepest mark on his heart, and it haunted him forever.After so long, he thought it had drifted away.But who knew, it would suddenly break into his sight when he was unprepared like today.

The same clothes, the same scene, everything seems to be a repeat of the past.

For a moment, he even thought he was back many years ago.She is still a 13-year-old unmarried girl of Yunying, and he is a young man of the lovesickness, who wants to marry her wholeheartedly.

At that time, they hadn't missed it yet.
