Speaking of which, the emperor has lived for twenty-six years and has never bothered about women. First of all, he is the son of the empress, and he has a noble status. Secondly, he has a handsome face. Well, the emperor has such a nice little face, if he hadn't been sullen, impatient with anyone, and ruthless, he might be the most popular person in the Han Dynasty.
The noble status and outstanding appearance have made the emperor always invincible. He has been surrounded by many Yingying and Yanyan since he was a child. At the beginning, those concubines who were the emperor's concubines always wanted to see such a good-looking child as the emperor. Squeeze your face, love him a lot, and then those aristocratic women who were selected by the queen mother to accompany her to study, even Guo Shi, who almost became his sister-in-law, once had some meaning for him, but people are like this, The more things you can’t get, the more you miss them. Conversely, the more things you take the initiative to come up with, you don’t have to care about them. Guo is a smart woman. Seeing that the emperor treats her as coldly as others , weighed the pros and cons, and quickly changed his target to the gentle, courteous, generous eldest prince.
The emperor was young and vigorous at that time, and what he thought about was how to learn martial arts well, how to do a good job in writing, how to be outstanding, and then let his father look at him more, and how to leave... the eldest prince behind, and let him admit it I am better than him, and I have no time or interest to think about these romances if my mother praises him a few words.
So Zhao Jinyu always said it was quite a novelty to him, and he didn't want Zhao Jinyu to give up on him, but he was thinking vaguely... just to make her happy, don't cry all the time, every time she sheds tears, then The drops of water were like those dripping into his heart.
After eating and taking a bath, the emperor said to Zhao Jinyu, "Go out."
Zhao Jinyu lived in the inn, the room was lit with a brazier, and it was very warm. Now she was lying in bed and didn't want to move... It was snowing again this afternoon, and it was extremely cold outside. She shook her head and said, "What are you going out for?"
"Appreciate the snow." The emperor said bluntly.
Zhao Jinyu loses her temper when she sees Shi Shi so righteous and confident, and comforts herself by saying that if you have a puppy, you have to take it for a walk, not to mention this is a stone spirit? You have to take it out to get some fresh air, right? Reluctantly said, "Okay, you wait for me to get dressed."
After a while, one person and one stone left the door of the inn. Because there were no pedestrians on the snowy road, the snowflakes fluttered in the sky, like a fairy scattering flowers, rushing towards her face. Zhao Jinyu took a cold breath, but looked up at the sky filled with snow Xue Hua felt very peaceful and asked, "Where are we going? Do you want to eat something? Candied haws?"
"Appreciate the snow."
Zhao Jinyu, "..."
Half an hour later, Zhao Jinyu walked back and forth on the same road for no less than several times, only thinking that Shitou likes to watch the snow, but he didn't complain.
One person and one stone were silent for a long time, with almost no verbal communication. After a while, Stone suddenly said, "Snow is like plum blossoms, plum blossoms are like snow..." The emperor glanced at Zhao Jinyu after reading the poem. I swallowed the smell wafting from the haggis soup shop opposite.
The emperor suddenly felt that it was boring, and reciting poems to this girl would be better than offering her a bowl of haggis soup. Sure enough, the eunuch is the eunuch... What else did Qin Hong say, he led the girl for a walk in the snow scene, and read a sentence full of affection If they read a poem, they would throw themselves into their arms shyly, and I believe that he is enough for a eunuch.
At this time, the emperor never thought about it, Qin Hong didn't even know that he had turned into a stone, Qin Hong's method was very simple and rude, but it was also effective, because the emperor's incomparable complexion alone, as long as he treats women with a pleasant face Some people will naturally be convinced, but it's a pity... what role can a stone with a pleasant color play
"Go to drink soup." The emperor decided not to treat his stomach badly, not to mention Zhao Jinyu, even he endured it for a long time, God knows, the smell of haggis soup is higher than snowflakes, isn't it.
These words hit Zhao Jinyu's heart, and he jumped happily and ran over, saying loudly, "Here is a bowl of haggis soup, and add more spicy peppers."
"Okay." The shopkeeper responded readily, but after a while, he came over with a bowl of steaming haggis soup. Zhao Jinyu took a look, and there seemed to be two more meatballs in the soup bowl. She was a little puzzled Blinking his eyes, the store owner was very amiable, and said in a low voice, "I saw the young lady standing at the door for almost half an hour. Our haggis soup has enough ingredients, it's real, and there's nothing empty about it, so it's really good. The price can’t be lowered, otherwise this business can’t be done, but we added two more mutton balls for you, if you don’t mind the lady, please eat more and cheer us up.”
It turned out that Zhao Jinyu told Shitou about appreciating the snow. In fact, one person and one stone walked around the door of the haggis soup shop for half an hour. =
Zhao Jinyu thanked the shopkeeper, ate half a bowl while it was still hot, turned her back to the corner so that no one could see her, and threw the stone into the bowl...
One person and one stone came out full, Zhao Jinyu's face was red, like a ripe apple in the snow, very lovely, just looking at it makes someone want to take a bite..., the emperor suppressed the emotion in his heart, and closed his eyes. I closed my eyes and thought about it, and I reckoned that I should want to eat an apple.
What the two of them didn't know was that at the entrance of the alley in the distance, there was a person hiding in the dark, looking at this place with a somewhat complicated expression.
Back at the residence at night, Chen Rong also came back early and told Zhao Jinyu that the boat that Su Qingchen was sitting on had already left. This made Zhao Jinyu heave a sigh of relief. Die, secretly ask someone to follow you?"
Zhao Jinyu blinked at Chen Rong, and said, "With Lord Jin Yiwei protecting you, isn't this something that no one else can ask for?"
Chen Rong finally couldn't help laughing, and said, "You..., I still thought that you would not let go. It seems that I was worrying too much. You are right. Although he is a Jinyiwei with a high position and authority, but After all, you are an official, some things cannot be forced, if you want to send people to follow, just follow, we walk upright anyway, and we are not afraid of people following."
Zhao Jinyu knew the meaning of Chen Rong's words. To put it bluntly, although Su Qingchen was unhappy that they left without saying goodbye, he was a shameless person, and it was not easy to follow her. Even if he wanted to follow, he could only do so secretly.
Chen Rong told Zhao Jinyu to go to bed and close the window before returning to her room. She booked another boat, which was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. When the two of them have another day tomorrow, Zhao Jinyu heard that there is a temple nearby that is very effective. She wanted to go to worship and pray for her adoptive father. She naturally didn't believe in this before, but she herself is a soul wearer, and she met such a talking stone. After that, she felt that many things were really uncertain.
Shitou heard that he was still very interested in going to the temple, so he asked a very important question, "Is the vegetarian meal delicious?"
Zhao Jinyu, "..."
The rest of the journey went smoothly. This time without the intervention of a Jinyiwei like Su Qingchen, the docking of the building boats was quite normal. In addition, because the year was approaching, if you wanted to go to your destination earlier, you had to travel faster than the previous building boats.
It was already November (lunar calendar) when Zhao Jinyu set off on the road, and the sailing period usually takes forty-five days, almost stepping on the line of the end of the year. The closer the destination, the more restless everyone is. People are doing business outside, going home for the New Year, or visiting relatives, after all, Zhao Jinyu is rarely like this..., and those who celebrate the New Year have to go elsewhere.
However, Zhao Jinyu didn't feel depressed. Instead, because the letter was about to be delivered, she felt the joy of her wish being fulfilled. Her adoptive father treated her like a reborn parent, and she had never done anything for him. This time, she was doing her filial piety as a daughter.
That night, Lou Chuan arrived at Cang Town, which is only five or six days away from Hangzhou, but was blocked and unable to pass. The canal at the intersection was also blocked. Chen Rong went to inquire and found out that the Tiangui Sect held the annual Holy Lotus Festival here. Believers poured in from all over the place, but within a few days, the whole Cang Town became a fiery world. .
Although Zhao Jinyu had heard about Tiangui Sect before, it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes. She was a little curious, so Chen Rong said, "Since I haven't seen it before, let's go out and have a look tomorrow, maybe I will get the blessing of Xianjun." .”
"What is Xianjun?"
"It is said that he was chosen by heaven and earth to convey the decree of the gods."
The next morning, Zhao Jinyu saw believers wearing red shirts with printed or embroidered red lotuses all over the town. Even children would wear ribbons embroidered with red lotuses around their heads.
It was the first time for Zhao Jinyu to participate in such a grand event, and she was still a little bit excited, so she went to join in the fun and watch the ceremony... The real highlight is at night, when the huge lotus-shaped boat by the river will spit out immortal kings and send them to the people on the shore. Believers throw blessing papers representing blessings.
In the afternoon, no one could enter the shore, but fortunately Zhao Jinyu and his boat were docked on the shore, and at night, they could see it from the deck.
It was very cold that night, and the cold and damp wind was like a knife, and it was like digging flesh when it was blown on her body. Zhao Jinyu wrapped herself up thickly, revealing only two eyes, like cicada chrysalis. Standing behind her was Chen Rong, and beside her was It was many people who boarded the boat for an excuse to take a look at Xianjun.
There were two young girls wearing believer's red lotus clothes standing beside her, and one of them said expectantly, "Master Xianjun is the most handsome man I have ever seen."
Another girl answered, "I'm really shameless and impatient. No wonder you're wearing so little today. You wanted to show the fairy, and you're not afraid of freezing to death."
"We are all believers of the Tiangui Sect. It is a great honor to serve the Lord Xianjun. How can you make it so unbearable?" The girl pouted unwillingly.
"Huh, what kind of existence is the Lord Xianjun? How can you allow dusty mortals like you and me to be contaminated?"
The girl next to her said that she lost her temper, lowered her head a little dejectedly, and said, "You are right, it is said that the previous Lord Xianjun took dozens of people just for serving maids, but this time the fairy But you have never received it."
Zhao Jinyu almost understood it when she heard it from the side. The so-called fairy king of feelings is not only a man, but he can also accept believers as maids to enjoy
What does this teach? Why does it sound more and more like an evil sect
Zhao Jinyu couldn't help muttering in her heart, I don't know what that fairy looks like, is he really so handsome? It should just be the glory that believers blindly worship, right
Maybe this fairy really has the meaning of being protected by God. After it got dark, it began to snow. The believers around the shore in the snowflakes became more and more crazy, shouting in unison. With the unity of heaven and earth, our faction prospers.
The excited eye circles of the girl next to her were red, she knelt towards the lotus boat, and said excitedly, "Master Xianjun, you are really an envoy appointed by the heavens, otherwise why is it snowing at this time?"
Zhao Jinyu, =. =
The voices of the believers became louder and louder, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the waves rushed over. Finally, the lotus boat lit up, and it was like a lotus flower floating from the sky in the emerald green water. It was picturesque, dreamlike, and beautiful.
Zhao Jinyu also became excited, touched the stone on her neck, and whispered, "Little thing, don't sleep, there are good things to see." If the two people next to him were excited because they could see the fairy, Zhao Jinyu was pure It's because there is finally something exciting to watch!
The emperor didn't speak. In the night, he looked at the crazy believers, the lotus flower representing Shengjie... His eyes rolled with an incomprehensible emotion. It was cold, hostile, and chilling. .
Seeing that Shitou didn't answer, Zhao Jinyu thought that Shitou hadn't woken up yet, or that her voice was too low to hear her. She was always very careful outside because she was afraid that others would see the clues, so she didn't care much even if she didn't get a response. Instead, she focused on On that beautiful lotus-shaped boat.
Under people's anticipation, the lotus petals made of yarn suddenly bloomed, and at the same time, the sound of firecrackers sounded on the bank, and a large number of fireworks illuminated the entire night sky brightly. , holy and inviolable.
Zhao Jinyu looked pale when she saw the fairy's appearance, as if struck by lightning.
The sound of cheering from the crowd seemed to shake the earth away and soar into the sky. In such a warm atmosphere, the lotus boat slowly rowed on the river and began to throw blessing papers, most of which were thrown to the shore side, but a small part was thrown into the river.
A man holding a fuchsia lucky paper screamed excitedly, and shouted, "Master Xianjun, I got the lucky paper, I got it!"
Someone next to him used a boat to send the man in front of Xianjun, and the man knelt down directly, and Xianjun's hand was gently placed on top of the man's head... It turns out that getting the purple lucky paper can get the blessing of Xianjun!
Zhao Jinyu suddenly saw a purple-red blessing paper floating on the water. She seemed to be possessed by a demon, and she couldn't control herself at all... She untied her cloak, dropped her gloves, and jumped into the water with a plop, desperately Swim towards the purple lucky paper.
The emperor shouted, "Do you want to die?"
Zhao Jinyu felt the bone-piercing coldness in the water, it was heart-piercing like a bone-scratching, the cold water washed her eyes, and she could hardly open them because of the cold and numbness... But the tears flowed out very violently, I don't know it was because of the cold Still heartbroken.
