The Road of the Queen

Half a year ago, Chang'an was still in the depths of winter.

Prince Cheng Li Chunqiu took Yin Yuting north to fight, and around the beginning of the year came the good news of Koryo's surrender.In order to celebrate the victory of Chengwang Banner, the people of Chang'an had a very lively Shangyuan Festival that year.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the jade rabbit rises in the east and the bright moon hangs high

There was a lot of voices at the Lantern Festival, and businessmen seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune and yelled loudly.The people who watched the lanterns also liked such a joyous atmosphere, and everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles.

At this time, even those young girls who don’t leave their homes and are raised in deep boudoirs will get their parents’ permission to come to the Lantern Festival for a stroll, buy some favorite accessories, and eat some new snacks.

Uncle Zheng Guo's eldest daughter, Zheng Landie, also brought her close maid, Qiao'er, to visit the Lantern Festival.This Ms. Zheng Landie Zheng is a veritable lady from the official family, and she lives peacefully in her boudoir on weekdays.It is said that this Miss Zheng is a talented woman, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially fond of lyrics and music, and her essays and poems are quite popular among the upper-class female family members.

His master and servant swam to the edge of the moat, only to see people around talking and laughing around the bank.Miss Zheng also went to see the fun, but it turned out that people were talking about the singing man on the flower boat.

On the sparkling water, a small boat drifted with the water.The boat is full of lanterns, reflecting the windy figure of the man standing at the bow.

The man's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were clear and cold, and between looking around, the lights in Manhu Lake faded.The corners of the bright red lips curled up, and the clouds broke through the moon and the flowers made shadows.The evening wind raised his wide sleeves, his long black hair fluttered behind him, and his clothes fluttered in the air, making him flutter like a fairy.

There was a luthier playing the piano for him at the stern, and the man was standing at the bow, singing "Touching Fish" melodiously:

Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death directly?

There are two flying passengers from the north to the south, and the old wings return to the cold and heat a few times.

Have fun, parting hard, you will be more idiots.

You should have something to say, thin clouds, thousands of mountains and snow at dusk, who will the shadow go to?

He sang so emotionally, but he didn't have an emotional expression, nor did he have an emotional look in his eyes, which instantly confused everyone's hearts.

Zheng Landie stared blankly at the man on the boat, this was the first time she saw such a man.

At this time, an unknown night wind suddenly blew, and the Luopa in Zheng Landie's hand was blown into the river.

"Miss, your handkerchief!"

I saw that Naropa was blown by the wind and floated into the hands of the man on the boat.The man looked up to find Ropa's owner.The man has a straight oval face, high forehead, white skin, mouth like red tassels, and those almond eyes are as bright as stars falling.

"That's my lady's handkerchief!" the maid Qiaoer shouted.

The man looked for his reputation and saw Zheng Landie with a frightened expression on his face, with a smile on his face.

It's not that Zheng Landie doesn't know that she has a marriage contract with her cousin. She also knows that her cousin, the eldest prince Li Changping, is about to take over as the crown prince. At that time, she will be the crown prince, the queen who will be the mother of the world.So when she saw her little maid Qiaoer leading the man who picked up Ropa coming, she hesitated, and finally turned her head and left.

"Miss! Miss!" Qiaoer ran two quick steps, but still did not catch up with Zheng Landie, turned to the man holding the ropa and said, "Maybe my lady is too shy to see you. Just give me the ropa Bar."

The man smiled and said: "The so-called return of the property to its original owner, I must return this property to your young lady with my own hands."

Qiaoer spat: "What a weirdo." She turned her head to look in the direction Zheng Landie ran away, she was worried about the safety of the young lady, so she said to the man: "Forget it, where is your home? Come."

The man said: "Cheng Wangfu."

After hearing this, Qiaoer turned her head and chased after her own lady with a hmm.

The man waved Ropa from behind: "Your lady must come and pick it up in person."

………………

A Cai, a young man from Chengwang's mansion, ran into Jinglinyuan out of breath: "Director Liu, Manager Liu,"

Liu Zihuan, who was looking at the account book, frowned: "What's the matter? He ran in without even knocking on the door."

Ah Cai stood up straight and said, "Director Liu, Prince Ning's Mansion officially hired Zheng Guogong's eldest daughter today."

"Oh?" Liu Zihuan turned his face sideways: "Is the news accurate?"

Ah Cai said affirmatively: "Absolutely accurate."

Liu Zihuan smiled wickedly: "Go and invite the luthier from Zuixiang Tower."

But Zheng Landie's little maid said she wanted to go to Prince Cheng's mansion to fetch Luopa on the Lantern Festival, but she hasn't come for more than half a month.I think Miss Zheng's family law is so strict that she is not allowed to come.Liu Zihuan couldn't wait any longer, he was going to break into Zheng's mansion tonight.

There are stars and no moon in this night.The night stars in early spring are twinkling and scattered all over the sky.

Zheng Landie's boudoir is as bright as a lamp, and a delicate figure is reflected on the mica window.

In the boudoir, the maid Qiaoer is rolling up her sleeves to add fragrance, and Zheng Landie is reading poetry.

Qiaoer smiled and said: "Miss, you have read that article for a long time, and I can recite it by heart."

Zheng Landie sighed softly and put down the scroll in his hand.I saw that Miss Zheng was carrying a lady with a sign.She was wearing a light green silk shirt, tall and elegant, her facial features were calm and elegant, and her lips were also light in color. She thought she didn't like beauty, so she said lightly: "Then you can recite it and let me hear it."

Qiaoer cleared her throat: "Miss listened. Asking what love is in the world is killing people. How many times have you come back when you are old? Joy is fun, parting is bitter, and you can have children. A gentleman has something to say, whose shadow leave."

Zheng Landie was amused by her and laughed: "Fucking girl, what kind of nonsense are you reciting. You are too spoiled on weekdays, no big or small."

Qiaoer pursed her mouth: "Miss, how do you pamper me? I wanted to go to Chengwang's mansion to get back the mistress's handkerchief, but you wouldn't let me..."

Zheng Landie said angrily: "We don't know that person at all, how can we just come to ask for it?"

"Miss asked him to pick up the handkerchief, so he must come back." Qiao'er argued.

Zheng Landie supported his forehead and said, "Forget it, it's just a handkerchief."

Qiaoer said foolishly: "Miss, you never think he is very handsome? Especially when he smiles."

Zheng Landie smiled and said, "You mean His Highness King Ning?"

Qiaoer shook her head: "No, it's the Lantern Festival, the son who sings on the flower boat."

After hearing this, Zheng Landie sighed faintly.

The sound of the piano rises leisurely, and the wind rises one by one.The sound of the piano is cold and low, accompanied by the sound of the evening wind, hovering in the empty night, as graceful as the whispering of flowers in March.The sound was slow and the meaning was slow, as if it carried the breath of the lake, so familiar.

"Yes..." Qiaoer said in surprise.

Zheng Landie hurriedly stood up and pushed open the screen window.

Ms. Zheng opened the window, and saw the son singing on the flower boat of the Shangyuan Festival standing outside the lower wall of her boudoir.The luthier who played the piano for him that day was still playing the piano for him. He was wearing a moon-white gown, and the moonlight sprinkled down from the dark sky, as if it suddenly shone on his face.Although the moonlight was beautiful, it was reflected in his apricot eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but it still lost its color in an instant.

"Yeah..." Zheng Landie blurted out.

Qiao'er poked her head out and said excitedly: "It's him, the son of Shangyuan Festival, he's here!"

Just listen to Liu Zihuan singing:

Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death directly?

There are two flying passengers from the north to the south, and the old wings return to the cold and heat a few times.

Have fun, parting hard, you will be more idiots.

The song was melodious, and before the next line was sung, Miss Zheng interrupted in panic: "Don't sing here, it will be terrible if someone finds out."

Liu Zihuan smiled and said: "I have been waiting for Miss, but if Miss doesn't come, I have no choice but to come."

Zheng Landie said: "I don't want that handkerchief anymore, please don't come here to sing again, young master."

Liu Zihuan paused for a moment, then teased: "Since the young lady gave you a ropa as a gift, how can I not reciprocate the gift?!" After speaking, he took off the Pisces jade pendant on his waist and threw it at Miss Zheng, and threw it at Miss Zheng impartially. in the arms.

"This..." Zheng Landie frowned.

Only Liu Zihuan said in a loud voice: "Does Miss Xin understand? If Miss still doesn't understand, I'm going to visit Zheng Guogong."

"Dengtuzi!" Qiao'er cursed, and slammed the window shut.

The man's hearty laughter came from outside the window, and the sound became farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared.

Holding the Pisces jade pendant in her hand, Zheng Landie sighed faintly.

The heart of spring has moved, and it is difficult to take it back.
