"Why? Why? Why? Qingya..."
"Bah! Bah, ding dong..."
In the middle of the night, as the sound of cracking porcelain came from the Fang Shuyuan, the guard Qi Shili held an umbrella and walked through the small stone path. He stood in front of the door and looked up at the snow on the eaves. He let out a soft breath and let the smoke fly. go.
"It's only the beginning of October, and it's snowing so heavily. My body is cold, and my heart is even colder!" He sighed and walked forward on the crunching snow, pushing the vermilion door in.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw servants kneeling on both sides of the floor. In the middle were fragments of bottles and utensils on the floor. Wan Yanliang stood in front of the desk, turned his back, clasped his hands behind his back, and held a moon. White sachet.
"Your Majesty!" Kai Shili called him and sent away the servants beside him.
"The lonely king saw Qingya today. She was wearing red makeup and sitting in a wedding car. She looked like in my dream..." He choked up and couldn't speak.
"Your Majesty! She is King Yong's wife of Wan Kingdom," Kaishi bowed in front of him.
"I hurt her, she must blame me, blame me for not marrying her, blame me for cheating on her!"
"Your Majesty, what happened a few days ago, I don't know why Miss Li came to the door. She threatened to die, so I had no choice but to let her in!"
Wan Yanliang turned around, sat down on the armchair, propped up his head and said, "That's it! She's seen it all, so there's no point in pursuing it anymore!"
"The lonely king is just a waste, a waste. On the day she got married, he didn't think of any way to reverse the situation and watched her marry someone else!"
A pipa on the flower table not far away was particularly beautiful in the dim candlelight, with its auspicious gilt patterns of vermilion and jade shining in front of his eyes.
He suddenly stood up, took the pipa and walked away.
Kai Shili knew that he was going to look for her, so he took the umbrella and followed her.
The vast white snow flew down from the sky and fell on his fresh clothes. He walked on foot to the gate of Yongguo Mansion with his pipa in hand, looking at the red lights hanging on both sides, and stepping on the red firecrackers on the ground. , stepped forward, only a crack in the closed red door was exposed, and the aroma of the wine from the remaining feast seeped out from the crack.
He sat on the cool steps of the eaves to push away the coldness, and then recalled the song "How Bright the Moon Is" so that he could play it with his fingers.
She was sobbing in the quilt when she heard the sound of a musical instrument. She resolutely reached out to pick up the scattered red lining, picked up the clothes in a haphazard manner, opened the red curtain and walked out.
"It's "How Bright the Moon Is"!" She said with red eyes.
She glanced at the man in the red tent. She walked alone outside the new house. When she saw no one around, she walked through the snow and sang the sad music. I saw him sitting alone.
Under the falling snow, he was playing alone, alone and lonely.
His frozen hands scratched the cold string with difficulty. After looking at Kai Shi's salute, he turned his head and looked away.
"Qingya!" He looked at her wearing red makeup and shedding tears in the window nearby, and his heart suddenly broke.
"Qingya, I'm sorry!" He held her hand.
"I have many things to ask you. Why did you reject my letter when I returned to Beijing? I heard your father say that you were getting married that day, and I..."
"What happened?" he asked again.
"Now, what's the point? I'm a married woman."
Her nose was red from the cold and she said again: "Your Majesty, do you know how I got here these four months? I lived like a year, suffering, and looking forward to your return!"
"I was so happy to learn that you were coming back. I couldn't sleep at night, looking through our old secret messages and thinking about your face."
She turned away and choked with sobs: "It's a pity that the king and I have a deep relationship, but we still couldn't get together after all!"
"Qingya, if you are willing, we will fly away immediately. The lonely king will take care of everything and place you in an unknown place. How about it?"
She paused, then suddenly laughed, blinking her eyes and brushing the snow off the tip of her nose.
"Fly away? Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth?"
"Huh?" His chest rose and fell.
"Do you really love me? Is that time between you and Zhonggong in Chengnan considered love?"
"You're still blaming me, right? Things are not what you imagined..."
She waved to stop his words, paused, took off the jade pendant from her neck, and stroked it: "It's not important anymore! I never blamed the king, I only blamed myself for not being able to enter the king's heart."
She looked at the ring with a wide rose ring, handed it out and said: "This love has all sunk into my heart. Your Majesty gave it to me, now it can be returned to its original owner!"
"Qingya!" He reached out and touched her cheeks.
"From now on... I hope that the king will meet a new love, hire a noble daughter, and Qingya will silently watch your happiness. This will be enough!"
"Let the past go by!"
She sobbed and almost couldn't speak. She looked at him who was becoming increasingly haggard. She handed the pendant over, kowtowed in front of him, then stood up and left. The red dress disappeared into the snow, and the dazzling voice gradually faded away. .
"Qingya! Qingya!"
He patted the red wall and called her heartbreakingly. When he saw her walking away, he put his right arm under his forehead and cried bitterly.
This station lasted two hours. Pipa, who was not far away, was submerged outside this lonely mansion. He had long disappeared. The fresh clothes on his body had been soaked, and there was no dry inch.
"Your Majesty, the girl has gone far away. You are already soaked. Come back quickly!"
He wiped his fresh sleeves, shed a burst of sad tears, turned around and left, walking alone in the wind and snow, without taking away the square pipa.
Qingya was lying in the corner of the corridor, watching him go away, alone in the snow, crying bitterly, and sliding down from the red pillar.
Xiyi searched for her for a long time, carrying a lantern and looking for her everywhere. He passed through the red lights on the corridor and saw her huddled in the corner, so he hurried forward and covered her with his cloak.
"Madam! Let's get into the house quickly!"
She supported her, and the master and servant leaned on each other and hugged her back to Huiwan Garden.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wan Yanyong sitting alone by the bed, looking at the candle in the sky.
"Where have you been?" He closed his eyes and asked, his Adam's apple moving up and down slightly.
She didn't reply, but bent down to pick up the clothes on the floor.
"Go to see him, right?" he asked again.
After searching for a long time, she picked up the red mandarin duck bellyband.
"The lonely king asked you something?" Wan Yanyong got angry and pulled his arm.
After enduring for so many years and suffering so many grievances, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She put down his hand and shouted in tears: "Yes, I went to see him. If the king wants to hear it, I will tell him!"
"You are the lonely king's wife, the lonely king's woman. How dare you have an affair with an outsider?" He pulled her dress.
"Your woman?"
"You forced me to marry you, took advantage of my innocence, and forced me together with my father, and now you are still saying so."
"The King was drunk that night. Did he say it was not intentional?"
She threw off her dress and asked, "What about just now? It wasn't intentional."
"How deeply you hurt me, you know it in your heart. For this marriage, you and your father did not hesitate to stain my innocent body and cleared all obstacles at any cost. Which of these things were not done intentionally?"
She threw all her clothes on the ground and walked towards him step by step, her long hair hanging down and red tears shed.
"I was forced into desperation and married you. You got what you wanted. Are you satisfied now?"
"Looking at the falling red on the mattress sheet, are you happy?".c
"Do you know what you are talking about? Can you say such treacherous words?" He squeezed her wrist tightly, as if he would crush it.
She suddenly became gentle, stared at him with red eyes, and sneered: "I said to the king that your heart is broken. Is the king angry? Just kill me! Anyway, you are the king of one person and the king of ten thousand people. Killing a little girl doesn’t matter, I’ve long since given up. I’ll kill or cut into pieces as your Majesty decides.”
"You know that the lonely king won't do it! The lonely king loves you so much, why do you want to poke my heart like this?"
He looked into her clear eyes and gripped her wrist tighter in excitement.
"Love me? Hahaha, if you love me, you have to take away others' love?"
"My lord, do you believe in karma? If you take someone's love away from you, you will inevitably lose the one you love. Do you believe that?"
She waved her hands, turned around, drank the Hexin wine in one gulp, looked at the crown of flowers scattered on the lichen with a smile, took off her heavy red clothes, and twirled the wine bottle while humming a tune. , then took off layers of clothes, laughing at the pain she had suffered over the years, and finally fell into the fresh clothes and fell asleep.
Wan Yanyong watched her graceful figure fall down, then slowly stepped forward to pick her up and put her on the bed, covered her with a mandarin duck quilt, and turned to leave.
That night, she had a long dream. She dreamed that she was dressed in red and married to the person she loved most...
At the Li family's end, the quiet snowy night was broken by a scream. The servants were so frightened that they hurriedly pushed out their clothes and carried a lantern to the main room of Saxuan. A glance at the curtain saw Li Shi sitting on the bed dripping with sweat. , holding his heart and gasping.
The waiter hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the Supa Zi: "My lord, are you having another nightmare?"
Panting, he sat cross-legged, took the handkerchief and swept the sweat on his chest, and sighed deeply.
"I... dreamed of him again. He said that I had wronged his wife and daughter, and he wanted to make me pay the price. He wanted to take me... away from me,"
Li Shi breathlessly spoke some unintelligible words. Everyone looked at each other and bowed in front of them. One of them cleverly said: "Master, you have found a good family for our girl. How could it be?" Treated badly? It’s too late for the girl to be happy!”
"Hey! It's just a dream."
He handed the veil to the waiter, leaned against the railing, looked at the withered tube flowers on the flower table and said, "I don't know what happened to Qingya in Wulu Mansion! It's time for the bridal chamber!"
The waiters looked at each other in confusion, and it took a long time before they managed to say: "That's what you should do... I saw the lady entering the bridal chamber with my own eyes."
Li Shi pursed his lips and smiled: "Finally, I have settled a major matter on my mind! By marrying her, Wulu's power will be even stronger, and the foundation of my Li family will be more stable. I have been preparing for this move for many years. Now, It’s settled!”
He crossed his arms behind his head, humming a little tune to relax comfortably, and waited for someone to bring the fire over again, and then respectfully handed him a cup of soothing tea.
