The Legend of the Moon Princess

Chapter 26: chance encounter

Views:

White arboreal crows in the atrium, cold dew silently wet sweet-scented osmanthus. Tonight, the people of Yueming are all looking forward, and I don't know who Qiu Si falls. Such a desolate autumn night made Ji Yueqin feel a little more melancholy in her heart.

There were only a few people in the huge palace, which added a bit of desolation. The Xiao sound that sounded in the middle of the night didn't know where it came from. Ji Yueqin had to go along the palace wall to find the source of the Xiao sound.

Because Ji Yueqin didn't hold the lantern, she was just groping for the way forward because of the moonlight. The place where Xiao sound came from seemed to be far away, and Ji Yueqin didn't know how long she had walked, and vaguely saw a man in a white crescent robe, standing like an exiled immortal, but the back had a faint sense of sadness.

Ji Yueqin stood behind the rockery, she didn't know who the man was, but under the moonlight, it seemed that the man was even more decisive.

She was a little dazed, but she didn't know if she should disturb this melancholy man, but her foot accidentally kicked the stone on the ground, and in this quiet night, it was extraordinarily loud.

The man standing under the moonlight heard the sound, turned his head vigilantly and stared in Ji Yueqin's direction, shouting, "Who!"

Ji Yueqin screamed inwardly, how could she be so reckless, but since it was found that it was not good to continue hiding behind the rockery, she had to bite the bullet and come out from behind the rockery.

When the man saw that it was a thin little girl, he was stunned, how could there be anyone here at such a late hour.

"Who are you? Why are you here." The man's voice was cold and he asked Ji Yueqin unceremoniously.

"I... It's An Ning." Ji Yueqin hesitated, not sure if she should tell this man her identity, but she doesn't know the identity of this man yet, so she'd better not act rashly

"An Ning? Which palace maid are you? Why are you here without resting late at night?" The man seemed to have misunderstood Ji Yueqin as the maid of which palace, and his tone was indifferent.

Ji Yueqin was relieved when she saw that the man mistakenly thought that she was a palace maid: "The servant is the palace maid of Ganxi Palace. I came here late at night because the servant could not sleep, and when I heard the sound of Xiao, I came here looking for it."

The man was stunned when he heard Ji Yueqin's words, his expression softened a lot, but he still looked cold and cold, refusing people thousands of miles away.

Ji Yueqin looked at the man in front of her secretly, and saw that the man was about twelve or thirteen years old. The crescent white robe on his body was made of excellent silk and satin. It was very clean but a little old. The moonlight poured on the man's body, causing the man's whole body to exude a pure white brilliance, as if he had descended into the world like an exiled immortal.

The hair is loosely scattered, but it doesn't look sloppy, but it has a feeling of being out of the dust. Looking closely at his facial features, I saw his sword eyebrows and star eyes, the faint sadness and a sense of etherealness in his eyes, which seemed to take away the soul of a person.

The autumn wind blew the hem of his clothes, as if he was going to ride the wind back anytime, anywhere, and the crescent-white robe showed the outstanding temperament of a man. Ji Yueqin had never seen a man come out of this world.

"Who are you?" Ji Yueqin had a good impression of this man.

The man chuckled, but did not answer Ji Yueqin's question, turned and left the pavilion.

Ji Yueqin was a little annoyed in her heart and felt that the man was a little rude. Seeing him leave, she turned around and wanted to return to the Qianxi Palace from the same way.

But Ji Yueqin didn't understand how he came to this place, let alone how he got back. She can only walk around in this huge palace like a night wandering god.

In the Qianxi Palace here, Xiuzhu kept watch for Ji Yueqin, but when he went to see if Ji Yueqin's quilt was tucked away, he found that Ji Yueqin was not on the bed.

So Xiuzhu was anxious, and hurriedly looked for Ji Yueqin everywhere. The county owner did not know the way in the palace, and Xiuzhu was afraid that he would not be able to find Ji Yueqin, and did not dare to disturb the sleeping queen mother. .

If you look for the emperor, it is estimated that it will cause even more trouble. According to the emperor's favor for Ji Yueqin, he will definitely be punished, and he will turn the palace upside down.

Xiuzhu didn't know what to do for a while, but suddenly she remembered Nan Xuanyu, and seeing how Nan Xuanyu treated Ji Yueqin, she should help herself find Ji Yueqin.

So Xiuzhu quickly took the lantern and rushed to the Ziguang Temple.

The purple light hall also turned off the lights early, and when Xiuzhu hurried to the purple light hall, he was stopped by the palace staff outside.

"Aunt Xiuzhu, His Royal Highness has already slept. If you have anything to do, please leave early tomorrow." Xiao Xiangzi yawned and said lazily to Xiuzhu.

"No, I'm going to see His Royal Highness now! Xiao Xiangzi, let me go in and see His Royal Highness! It's really important!" Xiuzhu was sweating anxiously, but Xiao Xiangzi stopped him again. How can Bamboo not be in a hurry.

Xiao Xiangzi was still indifferent, and said, "Auntie please come back. If we disturb His Royal Highness's dream, we can't afford to be slaves! It's better to leave early tomorrow!"

Seeing that Xiao Xiangzi was not accommodating, Xiuzhu rushed in regardless, but he was stopped by the eunuch watching the night before he entered the hall.

"Auntie, what are you doing! You know that trespassing in the Purple Light Palace is a big crime!" Xiao Xiangzi saw Xiuzhu rushing in, and was also frightened from drowsiness, so she hurriedly followed.

"Xiao Xiangzi, let your aunt go in! There really is something very important to see His Royal Highness." Xiuzhu was about to cry in a hurry.

Xiao Xiangzi was a little overwhelmed when he saw Xiuzhu's eager appearance, but if His Royal Highness really blamed him, he really couldn't bear the responsibility.

At this moment, Nan Xuanyu's voice sounded: "What happened?"

The candles in the room were lit. Nan Xuanyu, who was sleeping, was awakened by Xiuzhu, so he got up to see what happened.

Here Xiuzhu and Xiao Xiangzi both knelt on the ground, and Xiao Xiangzi said bravely when he saw that the prince was woken up, "Report to His Highness, Aunt Xiuzhu came to see you in the middle of the night and said that she has something important to see you, but You were sleeping, and the servants didn't dare to disturb you, so they stopped Aunt Xiuzhu at the door."

"It's not about Xiao Xiangzi, it's the servant who insists on seeing His Royal Highness! The servant is convicted, but the servant really has something important to disturb His Royal Highness." Xiuzhu said to Nan Xuanyu with red eyes.

Seeing Xiuzhu like this, Nan Xuanyu was afraid that something would happen to Ji Yueqin, so he hurriedly said, "Did something happen to Sister Yue? Tell me what happened!"

"The Princess of Anning is gone!" Xiuzhu's voice was crying. Now she is not afraid of being blamed, and now all she wants is to find Ji Yueqin.

"What did you say! Sister Yue is gone? You make it clear!" Nan Xuanyu asked quickly when he heard that Ji Yueqin was gone.

Xiuzhu listened to Nan Xuanyu's words, and hurriedly poured out the beans in the bamboo tube and told him that he couldn't find Ji Yueqin.

Hearing this, Nan Xuanyu hurriedly changed into his clothes and led the palace servants of the Purple Light Hall to find Ji Yueqin separately.

"Where are you, Sister Yue?" Nan Xuanyu shouted as he looked, and went straight to the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Here, Ji Yueqin walked around in the dark, not knowing where she went. She faintly heard the sound of water, maybe she was near a pond.

By the moonlight, she saw a stone table not far ahead, and she was tired from walking, so she was going to rest there.

Sitting on the stone bench, Ji Yueqin couldn't help feeling cold all over her body. The closer the autumn, the colder it became. When Ji Yueqin went out, she just wanted to walk around, but she didn't want to get lost. She didn't wear much. Of course it was a little cold.

She sat on the stone bench and quietly looked at the moon in the sky. It was the fifth day of the first lunar month. An Emei moon hung in the sky, emitting its subtle light.

She didn't know that the world was so cold, and what kind of scenery was in the Moon Palace. The rabbit is cold and the toad is cold and the sweet-scented osmanthus is white, this night Yuan'e should be heartbroken. Does Chang'e regret stealing the elixir, alone in this desolate moon palace

After thinking about it, is it the same for me, alone in this deep palace, is it not a lonely existence.

Ji Yueqin was a little sad, curled up on the stone bench, and the back looked even more lonely.

At this time, she vaguely heard someone calling her.

"Sister Yue! Where are you!" The voice shouted with a hint of nervousness and a hoarse voice.

The voice became louder and louder, it was Nan Xuanyu!

"Brother Yu, I'm here!" Ji Yueqin heard Nan Xuanyu coming to her, she was overjoyed, she stood up and responded.

Nan Xuanyu heard Ji Yueqin's voice, the nervousness on his face faded, and he said happily, "Sister Yue? Where are you?"

"I'm here! I'm here!" Ji Yueqin shouted to Nan Xuanyu a little moved.

Nan Xuanyu crossed the path and saw Ji Yueqin standing not far away, his heart ached, rushed over and hugged Ji Yueqin in his arms.

"Just find it, don't run around next time." Nan Xuanyu held Ji Yueqin in his arms, feeling the coldness of the villain in his arms, and hugged him even more tightly.

Ji Yueqin raised her head and looked at Nan Xuanyu's well-defined face, her consciousness blurred for a while, and she said in a fluttering voice, "Brother Yu..." and passed out in front of her eyes.

Nan Xuanyu looked down at Ji Yueqin's face that was a little purple from the cold, but found that Ji Yueqin had passed out. He touched Ji Yueqin's forehead, only to find that her forehead was a little hot, so he hurried Holding Ji Yueqin and wanting to run to the palace.

Nan Xuanyu held the little person in his arms and felt a little distressed, but he was more afraid. The little person in his hands was so fragile, which gave birth to the idea that he wanted to take good care of her.

"Come here! Pass on the imperial doctor!" Nan Xuanyu rushed into his bed with Ji Yueqin in his arms. He placed Ji Yueqin in his quilt, but held Ji Yueqin tightly in his hand. It seemed that if he let go, he would lose Ji Yueqin.

The palace and Xiuzhu, who were still looking for Ji Yueqin, also learned that the prince had found Ji Yueqin, so they rushed back to the Ziguang Palace, and Nan Xuanyu hurriedly asked someone to boil water and make ginger soup.

The palace staff persuaded Nan Xuanyu to go to sleep, but Nan Xuanyu insisted on waiting for Ji Yueqin to wake up, so he held Ji Yueqin's hand and fell asleep beside the bed.
