Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

He smiled and made a gesture: "Go and see if you like it."

I supported the fence of the stone bridge, slowly walked down, through the delicate courtyard door, I saw a winding path winding inside, and in the faint mist, you can see the three or five fine houses in the distance, looking quiet and quiet. Tasteful, and all these are looming in the bamboo forest.

The entire inner courtyard has been planted with bamboo.

The verdant bamboo leaves are moistened by the fog, and some of the leaves have already dew condensation, clear and translucent. I just looked at it from a distance and seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of the bamboo leaves and feel the air. The warm atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in a dream, and the path under my feet slowly extends to the front, and the winding path leads to a secluded place. What kind of scenery is there?

Or, who is there?

I froze and looked at the end of the trail, as if I could see a figure slowly appearing from this bamboo forest.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu's voice sounded in his ears--

"Don't want to go in and see?"

"..."

The sight in front of me slowly became clear. I watched motionlessly, and there was a sense of awakening from the dream. I turned my head and looked at Pei Yuanxiu: "How come, like this?"

I still remember clearly that I saw the inner courtyard not long ago. Although it is also elegant and quiet, there are no such bamboo forests. There are only some simple flowers and plants. How can there be so many bamboos after only a few days? ?

Pei Yuanxiu smiled softly: "Did you like that building when you were in Yangzhou?"

I froze for a moment.

"I don't like you anywhere, so I like those bamboo forests."

"..."

"So I made people quickly transplant some over the past few days, and I just packed them up today."

"..."

"Do you like it? You will live here in the future."

"..." Somehow, there was a cyanosis in my throat, and I paused before I said gently, "Even if I like it, it's not necessary."

"You like it, I want to give it to you."

Looking at his gentle smile, I just felt that his chest was almost too heavy to bear: "My son, in fact, I--"

"Green baby," he interrupted me, still smiling: "I said, I'll give it to you, just hold it."

"..."

I looked at him, speechless.

He pulled in his sleeves and walked in. The winding path was deep and elegant, refined and elegant. He pushed in the door and saw the simple layout inside. There was a round table and four stools in the center of the room, with a set of teapots and cups on it. On the wall stands a mahogany cabinet, a dressing table, a copper mirror, and a simple dressing box on it, a few baubles; a large bed in the interior, and a small broken flower embroidered on the milky bed, simple And delicate. The whole room is very simple, there is everything there should be, and there should be no more, but there is a bookshelf, a book case on the other side of the room, and pens and inks on it.

In addition to the scent of bamboo leaves outside the room, there is also a slight scent of pen and ink.

I walked slowly, stroking my long fingertips over the smooth table and the spine of a booklet on the bookshelf. It seemed that when I was back in the storage cabinet, I thought I was holding Quiet, there can be tomorrow.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but a bit of sourness, and my eyes were a little hot.

Although I didn't say anything, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to feel something, walked to my side and looked down at me: "What's wrong?"

He didn't want to be seen by me, and hurriedly lowered his head: "It's okay."

He didn't speak, but he didn't look at me for a moment. I could only keep my head down, and I didn't know how long it took to calm myself down. He didn't speak again, but just followed behind me. The gentle eyes ironed on me, and it seemed that he could feel the temperature of the sight from the cool air in the evening. In such a room, I was even more afraid to meet his gaze. I could only turn my head to see the large window in front of the desk, and the bamboo leaves reflected in the green outline a beautiful and quiet outside the window. The picture.

I saw it for a while.

At this time, I heard Pei Yuanxiu gently asked me, "Do you like it?"

"..." The emerald green reflected in my eyes, for a moment silent, nodded gently.

.

From that night, I lived in this fine house in the inner courtyard.

It's really comfortable here. It's really used. The mattress is dry and soft. It lays down like it is in a cloud pile. It won't crawl out if you sink in, but I don't know why, in such a comfortable place. Instead, I couldn't sleep more and more. I would toss and turn in bed every night, and it was not until dawn that I could barely close my eyes and sleep for a while.

The same was true that night, and the drums had been beaten a few times. I still had my eyes wide open and I didn't feel sleepy. I tossed until I didn't know when it was about to dawn, and I just got up and put on a coat and pushed the door. Go out.

Once in spring, the south warms up very quickly, but it is still cool at night. I only put on one piece of clothing and pushed out the door. Immediately a gust of cold breeze hit me, and I felt some coolness on my face.

When I reached out my hand, the fingertips were immediately covered with water.

It was the night dew sprinkled in the bamboo forest. It drifted in with the wind. I tightened my clothes and walked slowly. The bamboo forest was very quiet. The magnificent Qinghui sprinkled by a full moon in the sky will make the makeup here quiet and elegant.

This is indeed a beautiful place.

But—perhaps Pei Yuanxiu would not know that I used to live in a residence hundreds of times more beautiful than here, and lived a more luxurious and erosive life than I do now. I used to have a hard time, but the same is true.

That kind of life, I can't say it's greasy, but I have tasted it for a long time and nothing special.

He didn't know. I didn't like this residence, nor did I like the tall bamboo. I just—forget, the person in the bamboo forest.

But he, let me live in this manor, it just reminds me constantly, constantly thinking of-

It is also so quiet, the fragrance of bamboo leaves permeates the air, and the coolness of Yelu ...

——!

I suddenly reached out and held on to a thick bamboo, and when I shook it hard, I heard a rattling sound. All the dew on the bamboo leaves immediately fell down, like a rain pour, wet my face, and all the coat on my body. It was wet, and a moment of coolness struck me, causing me to choke for a moment.

I gritted my teeth and grasped the bamboo forcefully.

It turned out to be this feeling ...

It turned out that the torment in my heart really couldn't calm down, even if I drank my cold water like this, there was no way.

what should I do?

what should I do……?

Just then, there was a loud noise behind him, saying that it was noisy, in fact, it was not too loud, but it seemed a little amazing on such a quiet night. I turned around subconsciously, blocked my view by the bamboo forest and the high wall. I could only faintly see the fire in the outer courtyard. It seemed that someone had entered the courtyard and caused an accident.

What's up so late?

I gathered my clothes and walked out carefully. Just a few steps away, a vigil maid immediately came over and saw me like this and said immediately: "Mrs. Qingying, how can you come out just wearing this, and you will catch cold of."

"It's okay." I asked, "What's going on outside?"

"It looks like someone is coming back to life."

"Resurrection?"

As soon as I heard it, my brows frowned slightly: "If it's just a resurrection, why is it so noisy?"

While thinking about it, I went out subconsciously, and the maid was horrified to help me: "Mrs. Qingying, you will catch cold if you go out like this. Wait until the slaves bring you clothes."

I nodded and stood still at the gate of the courtyard. The maid was unkind, and quickly brought clothes for me. I barely dressed and arranged, and she helped her out. If anyone just walked out, just watch A silhouette hurried to the arch bridge.

A closer look turned out to be Pei Yuanxiu.

He also has a lantern in his hand. Although he should be accompanied everywhere by his identity, every time he comes to see me in the courtyard, he is always alone, and this time is no exception. When he saw us coming out, he hurried to meet him, "Qingying, why didn't you sleep?"

"I heard a voice outside, so I came out to see what happened?"

"Uh……"

I think he was looking for me in the inner court, but when I asked, he was stupefied, and I felt more and more wrong, especially in the yard behind him, where the lights were bright and many people seemed to be up , What is being prepared. There was a haze in my heart, and I hurriedly looked at him: "What happened? Tell me."

His face was also gloomy. He didn't speak immediately, but just waved his hand to the maid next to me. The maid immediately leaned down and retired, and Pei Yuanxiu came over and took my hand, carefully holding me. Bring back to the house. He was sitting by the bed holding him, although the room was warm, but at this time I couldn't get warmer, but my whole body was shivering consciously, and my teeth were constantly rattling.

He put the lantern aside and the candlestick on the lighted table, and then slowly came to me and squatted down: "Green baby."

"What happened?"

"You promise me that no matter what happens, don't get excited."

"What is it?"

"Whatever it is," he looked up into my eyes. "I can handle it, and handle it!"

His eyes have always been warm, but in Wenrun, he has always been firm and unchanged. He held my long, cold fingertips in his palm, and at this time I could feel a little temperature, and that temperature calmed me down a little.

I said softly, "OK, I promise you. You say."

He took a deep breath, then said, "There was an accident on the way back from leaving."

"...!"

It is undeniable that from his appearance, I had such a hunch.

But when things really came out of his mouth, I still felt a sense of dizziness, and my eyes were black.

Lie, what happened? !!

I've been waiting for my daughter for so many years and so many days. Every day I was counting the days when she came back with my fingers, but she had unexpected news!

I just felt that my heartbeat was about to stop. The only feeling was that my hand was being held firmly. I tried to calm myself down, but when I spoke, my voice was still unexpectedly fragmented: "She, how are you? "
