Ballad of Tianmen

In December, the city was closed by heavy snow.The cold wind swept across the goose feather and heavy snow, and there were many.Those evergreen trees were covered with snow, and they were bent down under the pressure.In the garden, a few plum trees set off against the snowflakes, and the red color is dotted among them, exuding a faint fragrance in the wind, which disappears without a trace when you smell it carefully.

The servants just swept away the snow, and although there was a little snow piled up on the wet bluestone path, it did not hinder people from walking.

Chu Feihuan was wearing a red fox fur, with a silvery-white furball around the neckline.Holding the plum blossom branch in his hand, he shook the snow all over the ground.The long black hair was only tied up obliquely with a jade hairpin and draped behind her back. At this time, it was also covered with snowflakes.Tilting his head slightly, Chu Feihuan seemed to be unable to feel the coolness of the wind and snow pouring into his face, squinting his eyes, staring blankly at the gray sky.

"Squeak—" The boots made a sound when they stepped on the soft snow.

"Have you sent the Rui Tan from the mansion to Miss Yin of Xuancheng Academy?" Overhead was suddenly covered by shadows.Chu Feihuan withdrew his gaze, turned around, and looked back at the little maid, Yu Xiang, who was holding an umbrella in her hand, which was already red from the cold.Chu Feihuan covered her hands, brought them to his lips and said with a smile, "You don't need to raise your umbrella, your hands don't get cold, turn around and ask Feng Jing to apply some antifreeze plaster on you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yun Xiang met Chu Feihuan's smiling eyes, her face blushed, and she didn't dare to look up.With lowered eyebrows, she whispered back, "All the things have been delivered. Your Highness, it's too cold outside, hurting your body. Go back to the house."

"Yes, the cold is too severe." Chu Feihuan let go of Ruxiang and took a step, exposing his whole body to the wind and snow again.After bowing her head and thinking for a while, she said, "Have someone prepare a carriage, I'm going out for a while."

"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Yun Xiang asked anxiously, but received a meaningful look from Chu Feihuan. "The servant has overstepped." She bent down, but Chu Feihuan didn't speak, nor did she turn her head.The plum trees on both sides swayed in the wind and snow, and the fiery red voice gradually became faint, and finally disappeared from sight.

Apart from Chu Palace, the only place Chu Feihuan frequented was Xuancheng Academy.The carriage was moving steadily on the street, and the curtain was lifted to take a look. The people were all staying in the house, except for the guards in armor patrolling the city on the street, few people were there.

Pucheng is very quiet, but everything hidden underground is brewing, like the moment before a blizzard.

The tokens in the hands of Wei Wei and Zhi Jinwu were lost, they probably didn't dare to say anything about it, and there was no movement in the hall.But in the dark, Li Hao sent people to search around, and at the same time began to mobilize his personal soldiers inside, as well as the guards from the Taiwei's mansion.Li Hao should have suspected her, but Chu Feihuan just watched all this with cold eyes.It would be best to completely destroy the Li family without bloodshed, but once there are swords and soldiers facing each other, the people under her hands will not be vegetarians.

"Hiss—" With a sound, the carriage stopped.Chu Feihuan got out of the carriage, told people to wait here, and then walked towards Xuancheng Academy.On heavy snow days, the children inside had already returned home, only a few students occasionally had that leisurely mood, and were still reciting poems in the garden.

The road in the bamboo forest is not easy to walk.The snow was slippery, the bent bamboo trembled frantically in the wind, and the snow blocks kept falling.After crossing that road, even the hair on the temples was wet.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, and there was occasional laughter inside.

When Chu Feihuan opened the door and entered, everyone inside was stunned.

"It's quite lively here." He took off the fox fur on his body and hung it aside, so as not to walk over to get through the cold.Even though the fire was lit inside the hut, it was still chilling to the bone.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" A jug of wine was boiling on the small clay stove, smoking.Yin Wuyi lowered her eyebrows, while Chi Mu beside her just snorted coldly, as if she didn't see Chu Feihuan coming in.Only Feng Jing stood up with a soft smile, afraid of neglecting the Lord.

"It's too cold here, why don't you go and live in my house, I've ordered my servants to clean up a yard." Chu Feihuan said to Yin Wuyi.

"It's good here." Yin Wuwu replied lightly.

"I didn't come to discuss with you." Chu Feihuan frowned, and his eyes fell on her legs, "Your legs are already injured, it's not good to be cold."

"If it weren't for..."

"Chi Mu." Yin Wuwu scolded suddenly, cut off her words, and glanced at her displeasedly.

"I'll take you back home first. If you need anything, you can ask someone to get it." Chu Feihuan's tone was irrefutable.The room suddenly fell silent, only Chi Mu's whispers and complaints remained.Chu Feihuan took a few steps forward, carefully helped her tie up the fur coat, hugged her in his arms, and walked towards the door.

The wind and snow were a little lighter than when it first came, and Yin Wuxin buried her head in Chu Feihuan's arms, inhaling the cold fragrance.Feel the steady and careful steps, and the panting that increases slightly as the steps fade away.The warmth gradually enveloped my heart, carrying a few strands of sourness.She is the only one who is thinking about it now.Perhaps Chu Feihuan has given this warmth to many people, and it is no longer the unique one it was before, but she still can't help being greedy.

The hair was stained with snowflakes, as if it had turned white in an instant.It's just that the hardest thing in the world is to grow old with the one you love.

The gardens in the Princess Mansion, as well as the towers, pools and pavilions, are far from comparable to those in Xuancheng Academy.Along that road, through the long and winding corridor, I came to a pavilion with a few strong and strong characters "Nuanfeng Pavilion" on the plaque.The dragon and the phoenix belong to the son of heaven, who would dare to use them?From the outside to the inside, I felt a sense of warmth.This is a deep understanding of the rich and noble family.

The inside of this pavilion has been carefully arranged.The walls of Nuanfeng Pavilion are painted with prickly ash and mud, brocades are hung on the walls, screens and feather tents are set up, and the floor is covered with blankets from foreign countries.The lampstand protruding from the wall is decorated with night pearls.Looking at the other end, they made twin phoenixes out of charcoal and honey, burned them in the furnace, and then spread white sandalwood on the bottom of the furnace.

"Compared to Your Highness, it's really cold in my bamboo courtyard." Yin Wuyi smiled.

"Will you be satisfied?" Chu Feihuan stared at her and asked with a smile.

"This is where His Highness lives?" Yin Wuwu leaned on the couch, brushed off the snow, and her hair was already loose.

"Yes." Chu Feihuan replied lightly.

"Then where do I live? Do I eat and sleep with His Highness?" Yin Wuyi asked again, restraining his thoughts.

"Aren't you happy?" Chu Feihuan turned her head and asked back with a smile. Chu Feihuan's eyes were like abysses, and she couldn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation.

There was just a chuckle in his heart, when she got off the mountain, Chu Feihuan only put her in the Xuancheng Academy, and now she was allowed to enter the princess mansion, so what was his intention?Yin Wuxin couldn't help but start guessing.In the past, they only needed to look at each other to know what each other meant, but now they have to rely on various words and behaviors to figure it out.

"Your Highness!" A hurried voice from outside the door suddenly came in.

"What's the fuss?" Chu Feihuan got up and walked to the door, frowning and scolding the guard.

"A woman asked to see her outside, and she said yes, she came out of Dongsheng Building."

"Dongsheng Tower?" Could it be Qiongqing?She entrusted Feng Jing to handle this matter, and now that Qiongqing has been sent to the Taiwei's residence, now that she ran over rashly, she must have made a big discovery.After pondering for a while, Chu Feihuan said, "Bring her here."

Even after entering Taiwei's mansion, the dusty smell on Qiongqing's body still couldn't dissipate.Guided by the servants to the Nuanfeng Pavilion, Qiongqing bowed down and said a blessing.After sneaking a glance at Chu Feihuan, he lowered his eyebrows.She knows Feng Jing and knows that everything is for the master in front of her, but she rarely sees him.People in Pucheng have rumors that Princess Xuancheng is as cold as a sharp sword, and it is true at first sight.After a long time, seeing that Chu Feihuan didn't speak, she raised her head and met those majestic eyes again and asked boldly, "Your Highness, is everything you promised countable?"

"Naturally." Chu Feihuan nodded in response.

"The thing is already in hand." Qiongqing smiled when he heard the words, took out a letter from his arms, placed it carefully on the table, and continued, "I coaxed Li Zongsi to copy it when he was drunk. His great seal."

thing?Chu Feihuan was a little puzzled, suppressed his doubts, picked up the letter on the table, and glanced at it. It was full of conspiracy words, and the names of the ministers involved were not small.Suddenly understood, clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay! It's all thanks to Miss Qiongqing. After the matter is completed, you come to the princess mansion to receive the reward."

After hearing Chu Feihuan's words, she nodded, and then said hesitantly, "The medicine..."

"Ask Feng Jing and she will definitely give it to you." I'm afraid it's because of her beauty-loving nature, I've heard Feng Jing say that Qiongqing and her became friends because of medicine.
