Outside the Imperial Study Room, light snow began to fall.
In the corridor, a woman in red looked at the small snowflakes drifting eastward in the sky and couldn't help but stretch out her calf.
The cool touch in his palm made Duanmu Xi's worries disappear a lot, and he suddenly became more playful. He held a handful of snow with his legs on the ground, and then kneaded the snow into a snow ball.
When she was a child, she also played with snowballs and made snowmen with her grandfather. Thinking of her grandfather, Duanmuxi's leg fingers unconsciously traced Duanmucang's appearance on the snowball.
"Be careful of catching cold." Following the words of concern, a red fox fur fell on Duanmu Xi.
The sudden voice brought Duanmu Xi back to his senses instantly. When he saw Xuanyuan Mo, Duan Muxi immediately raised the corners of his lips, "Axue! I'm coming out!"
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Mo responded while helping Duan Muxue wipe the small snowflakes from the top of her hair.
Seeing the snowball in Duanmuxi's legs, Xuanyuan Mo frowned slightly, stretched out his legs to take the snowball and put it aside, grabbed Duanmuxi's legs and stuffed it into his arms.
Duan Muxi leaned into Xuanyuan Mo's arms with a blush on her face. It was so nice to have Ah Xue here!
Outside the imperial study, Xuanyuan Lie took out a scroll from the east side of the desk and slowly opened it.
Following Xuanyuan Lie's movements, the painting on the scroll slowly appeared.
In the painting, there is a vast red snow field, and a woman dressed in red and wearing a red gauze is dancing gracefully. The graceful figure and the elegant dancing posture all describe the beauty of women.
Looking at the woman in red in the painting, Xuanyuan Lie's dark eyes flashed with endless longing, ruthless love, and deep guilt and self-blame.
He raised his leg and gently caressed the beautiful face of the woman in the painting. This gentle movement made people feel that he was not touching a painting, but a real person.
Caressing the woman in the painting, Xuanyuan Lie gradually fell into memories.
That year when he went out of the palace to do business, he passed by the Wannian Snow Mountain. To the east of the foot of the Wannian Snow Mountain, he saw a red figure. In the vast red snow, the color red was so conspicuous. He subconsciously urged Dong's red horse and ran towards the red figure.
As I got closer, I discovered the woman in red, who was dancing obliviously. She danced beautifully, and her spinning figure was like a red plum blooming in the snow. She danced very attentively, as if she was dancing with her whole life.
The beautiful picture of red and red made him turn over on his horse unconsciously and gently approach the woman.
The woman still forgot about him dancing, and didn't notice him until he got very close.
She stopped in panic and looked at him warily with a pair of watery eyes.
The woman is very beautiful, and the most stunning thing is her pair of crystal clear water eyes, light amber color, shining with luster, as if she can shut up, making people unable to forget her after just one look.
She wore very little, and even wore a red dress in the snow-capped mountains that had been covered with snow for thousands of years, and the red tulle outside had no effect at all on keeping out the cold. He lowered his head and looked eastward to see her shoes, but unexpectedly saw a pair of red and delicate feet.
She... She didn't even wear any shoes. She was dancing barefoot in such a cold snow. Wouldn't she feel ice
As if she noticed his gaze, the woman's eyes shrank into her long skirt. She deliberately pulled up her skirt to cover her exposed bare feet.
The beautiful scenery in front of him disappeared, and he felt a little disappointed. Looking at the woman's wary eyes, he opened his mouth to ask for comfort. But she didn't give him a chance to shut up, so she ran towards the snow-capped mountains.
Her speed was very fast, and he couldn't find her after chasing her for a few steps.
After that, he searched for a long time in the snow-capped mountains, but found nothing. It was as if the woman had disappeared. Moreover, there was no snow mountain in the house, so even if he wanted to ask, he couldn't find anyone to ask. He had no choice but to go to a small town in the east of Snow Mountain and find an inn to stay there. Every day when it was red, he would look for her in Snow Mountain.
Perhaps God took pity on his persistence and infatuation. A month later in the small town, he finally saw the woman again. The woman still wore the bright red dress, but her feet were now wearing red boots.
He was in a very excited mood and wanted to rush to say hello to her, but he was afraid of offending the beauty, so he followed her silently. Perhaps he was following too closely, but the woman quickly spotted him.
"Not me?" That was the first thing she said to herself. Her voice was as beautiful as the orchid in the empty valley.
"Don't be nervous, girl. Zaidong just wants to say hello to her." He quickly reassured her, fearing to scare her away again.
But she didn't seem to appreciate it at all, "What do you say hello? He doesn't know me, and his father said that all men in Shandong are bad people." After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left.
He was dumbfounded at the time and thought to himself, how could there be a father who taught his daughter like that. All good girls were taught bad things by him.
After he came to his senses, he chased the woman again, following her shamelessly. After pestering her for several months, she told him her name. Xue Ruyan has a very nice name. Like her, she has the faint aura of Ye Chang.
During those months, he was completely cruel to her. She is very lively and active, and also has an innocence that is not found in the women in the palace. She is as pure and beautiful as the red snow on the mountaintop that has not been contaminated by the secular world for thousands of years.
In the following months, he began to pursue her crazily, going shopping with her, playing in the snow, playing the piano and dancing with her. He devoted all his tenderness and considerateness to her.
Different from the depression in the palace, he was happy and relaxed by her side. He would often be left speechless by her innocent words, and would often be left speechless and looking up to the sky by her words about his father.
Finally one day, she accepted him. He was very happy. He said he wanted to see her father, but she always said that her father did not want to see outsiders.
A few months later, she became pregnant, and when the doctor told her she was pregnant, he was so excited. Just like the ecstasy of becoming a father for the first time, he had no idea at the time that he already had two children in the palace at that time.
After getting excited, he asked to take her back to Beijing to get married. She didn't agree immediately, so he asked her to consider it.
That morning, she disappeared for the whole night, and when she came back, she agreed to go back to Beijing with him.
When they left the town, she cried, which was the first and only time he saw her cry.
He took her back to the imperial city and palace. She didn't seem surprised at all by his identity. Perhaps in her world, there was no difference between the emperor and the common people.
When she saw his queen and numerous concubines, she asked, "Are they all like him?"
There was sadness, sarcasm, and a little bit of hope in the voice.
Looking into her extremely clear eyes, he suddenly felt guilty and didn't know how to answer. Whether it is the same or different, it seems both are wrong.
Seeing his guilty conscience, she suddenly laughed to herself, "What dad said is indeed right. Is there a chance that he will change?"
The voice behind was very small, but he heard it. He was extremely scared. He was afraid of losing her and he didn't want to let her go.
Sure enough, that morning she asked him to leave the palace, but he didn't agree. As for whether to appease her emotions, he didn't care about the other women in the harem. He stayed in her Siyan Palace for several months.
No matter what he did, she would be depressed. She would never laugh or play the piano or dance like before. She is like a canary trapped in a cage without a soul.
And his exclusive favor also aroused the jealousy of the queen and other concubines, who frequently plotted and framed him. He began to regret bringing her to that crisis-ridden palace, and wanted to let her go, but he was reluctant to let her go.
Finally, under the protection of him and Hu Wei, she gave birth to a boy safely. The boy looked very similar to her, especially his eyes, which were the same transparent amber color, which made him like him at first sight. He named him Mo.
She also became a lot happier because of Mo'er's birth. It was obvious that she liked Mo'er very much. She often saw her shutting up when he was wrong or smiling when he was wrong. She does everything about Mo'er herself and never relies on others.
The good news didn't last long. One morning a few months later, Mo'er suddenly turned into a little snow wolf. That day happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. He was accompanying her to admire the moon at Siyan Palace when he saw that astonishing sight. One scene.
At that time, he was completely stunned. He picked up the little snow wolf anxiously and wanted to ask someone to treat him, but he didn't know who he should go to.
She was shocked at that time, but she quickly regained her composure. She hugged the little snow wolf, gently stroked his long hair, and kissed his little face tenderly. She said, " Is that his child? He is a Snow Wolf, and his body is filled with the blood of the Snow Wolf clan."
He couldn't believe his ears. The woman he had been cruel to for so long was not a human being, but a snow wolf. But Bu looked at the little snow wolf in her arms and couldn't help but believe it. Their child turned into a little snow wolf, but if he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it.
He couldn't accept that fact for a moment and ran out of Siyan Palace. I didn't see their mother and son for several days.
But he didn't know if it was because of his cowardice that he lost her forever. Otherwise, he harmed her, the purest and most beautiful woman in this world.
He regretted why he asked her to be brought to that gorgeous cage in the palace. He blamed himself for why he didn't protect her well. He hated, hated the women in the harem, why would he not let her go? He hated the sky, why Let him gain and lose again, and I hate myself even more, why I didn't cherish her properly.
No matter how sad he is, he blames himself, and feels regretful, none of that can go back to the past. No matter how hard he tries, he can never make up for his mistakes.
He leaned over and kissed the amber water eyes of the woman in the painting, saying, "I can't make a mistake." The voice was very soft and slightly choked.
Caressing the beautiful face of the woman in the painting, Xuanyuan Lie murmured, "Mo'er has grown up and has a woman he likes. He has seen that child, whether it is a good child or not. He knows that if I am here, He must also want him to fulfill them. In fact, he knows that whether he succeeds or not, things will be like that. No one can change what the child decides. But if I am here, maybe he will listen to me. Mo. He doesn't want to ask for the throne. Maybe he can learn from the old Emperor Qinglong and pass the throne to their children in the future. Can he ask Wandong to accompany me? Will Yan'er wait for him?"
