Chapter 11:
Jun Huailang was afraid that Jun Linghuan would freeze, so she wanted to keep her in the room and learn the piano another day. But Jun Linghuan was reluctant and even more excited when he saw the snow falling, he insisted on going to the yard with Jun Huailang to play the piano.
Jun Huailang has always had no choice but to let the maid serve her, drink a bowl of hot soup, and wrap her in a fox fur cloak.
When the two of them sat down in the pavilion, Jun Linghuan raised his head and looked outside the pavilion, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful!"
Jun Huailang followed her gaze, and saw the pavilion's golden glazed eaves and gauze curtains fluttering. whereabouts.
Jun Huailang suddenly thought, I don't know what the maple forest looks like at this time?
The amber eyes reappeared uncontrollably in his mind. He withdrew his gaze lightly, put his hand on the strings, and stopped thinking about what was there or not.
Although Jun Linghuan likes snowy days, she is afraid of the cold, and after a few plays, she is too cold to reach out. She was still reluctant to go back, so she cuddled beside Jun Huailang and asked him to play the piano for her.
Jun Huailang has never been able to refuse this little girl's request.
So, when Xue Yan came, he heard the melodious sound of the guqin before entering the palace gate of Mingluan Palace.
About ten days ago, he received an imperial decree to adopt him to Concubine Shu. Xue Yan didn't have to think about it, she knew that Concubine Shu had offended someone in the palace, and taught them to find ways to put him, the evil star, into Concubine Shu's palace, which would definitely make her uneasy.
The imperial decree of Emperor Qing Ping also pretended to care about him a few words, and let him recuperate the most important thing, and then move to Concubine Shu Palace another day.
Xue Yan knew that Concubine Shu must be displeased and made a lot of trouble in the palace, otherwise Emperor Qingping would not take care of him and let him recuperate in his palace first.
Xue Yan made a little calculation and knew that this mindless Concubine Shu could help her. He symbolically took care of the injury for a few days, and it was exactly today that he packed up the few luggage, brought Jinbao with him, and followed the person who came to pick him up from Mingluan Hall to a new residence.
Xue Yan walked on the palace road silently, stepping on the snow.
Today is especially cold, Xue Yan has no winter clothes, only a thin robe. Jin Bao followed him and put several autumn clothes on his body in one breath, wrapping it like a bloated big zongzi, but he was still shaking.
"Master, are you not cold?" Jinbao asked Xue Yan in a low voice.
Xue Yan glanced at him and said nothing.
He lived in Yandi since childhood, which was much earlier than the winter in Chang'an. Yan's land is barren, and many soldiers and horses are raised. In winter, it is common to have no winter clothes to keep out the cold.
When he was seven or eight years old, he was kept in the army camp by King Yan. The cost of food and clothing was no different from that of ordinary soldiers, and he forgot how many biting winters he had passed.
I was so cold that I lost consciousness, I couldn't even feel the pain.
But he didn't endure this situation for a few years, no one in the army could beat him, and no one was more ruthless than him. He was also used to wearing icy iron armor all winter, but he didn't feel how cold.
A lot of pain can be gradually numb to get used to, such as cold, such as the world's disgust and rejection.
Seeing that Xue Yan was silent, Jin Bao did not dare to speak up.
He was threatened with the life of the whole family, and he chased the ducks to the shelves to recognize the master, and he knew that he was gloomy and terrible. After more contact, he realized that his master was more terrifying than he imagined.
Jinbao has nothing to do except listen to him and count on him to save his life.
The palace servants in front were sent by Mingluan Palace. She was just a palace maid, but she was wearing a thick and elegant brocade winter coat, her hair was swaying, she didn't turn her head, and even her back showed an air of arrogance.
She led Xue Yan to the outside of Mingluan Palace, and across the palace wall, she heard the sound of the guqin.
It is a very clear and melodious tune, gentle and distant, like the ancient music played by the fairy in the sky. When the palace maid heard the music, she raised her chin and turned back, her expression showing a proud arrogance.
"His Royal Highness is playing the piano," she said. "His Royal Highness is a member of the mother's family. You are here, but don't bump into him, or the mother will not spare you lightly."
It was as if the person in front of him was not a prince, but a servant.
Xue Yan did not speak, but Jinbao, the big zongzi next to him, shook his head and nodded in agreement.
The palace maid raised her chin, snorted contemptuously, turned and walked into Mingluan Palace.
With the luggage in one hand, Jin Bao stepped forward and opened the door for Xue Yan.
Xue Yan raised his legs and stepped over the vermilion threshold of Mingluan Palace.
Itchy.
Xue Yan looked in that direction.
Even if Xue Yan was not surprised, he was stunned.
Is that young master?
In the rustling snow, he sat in the pavilion with lacquer and gold, surrounded by veil. He was wrapped in a pure white cloak today, with soft fox fur on the neckline, wrapping him warmly.
He was leaning against a little girl beside him, and was leaning beside him and acting like a spoiled child. His slender hands, whose bones were red with cold, fell on the strings, and the music slowly trickled out from under his fingers. He lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl with a smile that Xue Yan had never seen before.
Indulge and soft, with a shallow but indulgent temperature.
At this moment, the young master raised his eyes inadvertently, and his eyes just met his.
He didn't smile, the smile in his eyes suddenly hit Xue Yan's eyes, as if he was smiling at Xue Yan.
Soft and warm, and quiet and deep, there seemed to be an invisible warmth that wrapped Xue Yan's whole body softly.
Xue Yan's spine felt numb for no reason.
No one ever looked at him like that. This look suddenly hit his heart, with a strange and strange yet fatally attractive touch. Even if Xue Yan didn't want to admit it, his heart skipped a beat.
But immediately, the eyes were filled with doubt and surprise, and the soft smile just now disappeared.
Xue Yan was like a thief who stole the treasure by chance, but after a moment of joy, he was taken back by the owner, and he became impoverished again.
Xue Yan came back to his senses and felt a little ridiculous.
But at the same time, a plundering impulse rose in his heart.
He suddenly wondered, what would it be like if he could grab such a soft and gentle smile and let him smile at himself like this for the rest of his life.
Xue Yan's spine was numb for no reason, with a hot itching.
Jun Huailang glanced at him, a little surprised, then looked sideways and said something to the palace maid beside him.
The maid who had just led Xue Yan to Mingluan Palace walked a few steps. Seeing that Xue Yan was not following, she turned around impatiently and said, "What are you doing! Why don't you keep up!"
Xue Yan retracted his gaze and glanced at the palace maid.
It was like looking at a beast.
Then, she saw Xue Yan come up. He was still seriously injured, and his pace was very slow. When he approached the palace maid, he lightly reminded: "Also ask this aunt to lead the way."
The palace maid came back to her senses and looked at him again, as if the fear just now was an illusion.
The palace maid calmed down, turned around again, and led Xue Yan to the most remote hall on the west side without looking back.
When passing the main hall, he heard the sound of broken porcelain inside.
Over there, Jun Huailang finished talking with the palace maid, only to know that today is the day that Xue Yan moved to Concubine Shu's palace. He had heard Concubine Shu lose his temper in the past few days, but he didn't know that Xue Yan had come so early, which caught him off guard.
Looking up again, Xue Yan is gone.
He remembered that just now, Xue Yan was wearing autumn clothes. It is said that if the prince moved in, Mingluan Palace should be relocated no matter what, to clean up his place, and then buy clothes and supplies for him.
But today Mingluan Palace sent a maid to pick him up, everything was business as usual. Even the master in the palace is not at home, and is still losing his temper in the room.
Jun Huailang felt like a wet cotton wool was stuck in his heart, making him uncomfortable.
At this moment, a palace maid stepped forward and smiled and served two cups of hot tea for the two of them.
"The pavilion has a severe stroke, so please have a cup of tea with the eldest young lady to warm up your body," she said.
As soon as Jun Huailang looked up, he saw Diancui beside Concubine Shu.
Dian Cui has been with Concubine Shu since childhood, and Jun Huailang also had some impressions of her when she was a child. He picked up the tea and thanked Diancui, and then asked casually, "Aunt Diancui, the fifth prince who just moved in?"
Dian Cui said: "Yes, it is His Majesty's will to send the fifth prince to the Empress's Palace to raise."
Jun Huailang added: "Why is there no movement in the palace these few days, it's quite sudden."
Dian Cui smiled and said, "My lady doesn't like him, so I don't want to speak up, but everything that should be arranged has been arranged for him."
Speaking of this, Diancui sighed and said, "My lady just wants a child too much. She said before that she wanted to keep a prince by her side, but the servants persuaded her, but she couldn't listen. ...But I didn't expect that the emperor would adopt the fifth prince to the empress. How could the fifth prince be called empress and concubine at such an old age?"
Here, she sighed with concern.
A suspicious look appeared in Jun Huailang's eyes.
Concubine Shu herself requested? Diancui persuaded her, but she didn't listen?
Concubine Shu clearly told herself that night that it was Diancui who persuaded her to adopt a prince, and she was really moved...
But now speaking from Diancui's mouth, it seems to be clearing something.
