Qingchuan History

Chapter 19 Cloud Low Moon Huatai
Totally just a feeling.

He turned back to the previous direction again, and met that gaze.

The color of her eyes is like the color of water, but it is not the gurgling water in those exquisite scenes in the courtyard of the palace.Some are like the deep forests and mountain streams that I saw when I went out in the mountains or went out to collect wind when I was young.

It is also very similar to the color of the mountains.It doesn't really refer to the black color of the mountains and forests, but just a feeling of looking like mountains and forests.

At this time, the gaze fell on his face quietly, without any emotion.It seems to be observing calmly, but it's more like just waking up in a daze, unable to understand or even realize the current situation at all.Her expression was like looking at something that didn't exist before in the same scene, but when she opened her eyes again, it appeared.

Gu Xinglang stared at the color of the water, or the color of the forest, for a long time, so that he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the other party's reaction of not moving and not getting up to salute.

After exchanging glances several times, Yunxi and Diyan decided to do something.

"lady."

The first time she yelled softly, she didn't want to look like Ruan Xueyin was disrespectful.The other party didn't seem to hear it at all.She raised her voice slightly, but restrained herself and called out again:
"lady--"

Ruan Xueyin was still staring at Gu Xinglang's eyes.These eyes are very similar to those stars in the sky that she looks at every night.Bright and almost dazzling, but also makes people feel far away.She never knew that stars could fall into people's eyes.

It turns out that some people have stars in their eyes.

Yuehua Terrace is too small, and Yunxi and Diyan are in it, so I just feel nervous at the moment.But if someone can look in from a farther height and see this scene, they may feel that this scene is picturesque.In a limited space, the positions of the characters are scattered and perfect, the background is like a curtain with distinct layers, the dusk is approaching so that all the colors are covered with a layer of mist, and the evening wind in June flips the gauze curtain from time to time——

A dynamic painting.The silence speaks.

Seeing that Yunxi was unfavorable, Diyan decided to make a move.He coughed loudly, almost exaggeratedly.

Ruan Xueyin was pulled back to the human world by this strange voice, her eyes swung from the still water before, and she finally realized what happened and who was standing in front of her.

Almost instantly she propped herself up and stood up, standard one blessing:
"Your Majesty is safe. The minister and concubine are disrespectful."

Gu Xinglang didn't expect her to learn etiquette well, and from the corner of his eye he glanced at her standing barefoot on the ground because she got up too fast.

Stepping on the smooth blue ground with white porcelain feet, the texture of icy waxy emeralds became more apparent.

"It's rare to get close, so I went up to take a look."

He spoke without any waves, neither deliberate indifference nor extraneous emotional ups and downs, as usual.

"You're a mixed reader. It's the first time I've seen some books." He glanced at the books on the case table.

Ruan Xueyin was only fully awake at this moment, and felt a little embarrassed that she was not wearing shoes.But she has always been calm, her face does not show,
"Long night stargazing, sometimes I get bored of waiting, so I flip through it to pass the time."

It was also Yunxi's most familiar way of speaking, with a bland and impolite smile, as usual.

When the other party took the initiative to mention it, Gu Xinglang did not avoid suspicion, and turned his gaze to the black screen dotted with dots. There are complex and interlaced lines hidden between the dots, weaving into various irregular shapes.He stared at it for a moment,

"That's it."

"Yes."

Simply neat.

Gu Xinglang glanced at her face, then lowered his head to look at those bare feet on the ground.

"I heard that women should be warm and not cool. Although it is midsummer, it is already night, so it's better to be careful." Having said that, look at her again with a lot of meaning:
"Just took care of your skin. Don't catch the wind again."

Yunxi beside him was already dripping with sweat, but he didn't know if it was hot or not.The wind on this summer night really has no effect on relieving the heat.

"It's because the slaves are negligent and didn't take good care of Madam. I will be more careful in the future. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Gu Xinglang didn't say anything, turned and left.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Di Yan secretly thought that Mrs. Pei's rules were well learned, so she bowed respectfully, turned around and left.

Everything happened too quickly, and when there was no one left, Ruan Xueyin asked, "When did he come up?"

Yunxi looked concerned: "It didn't take long. I came up to see Madam for a while, and flipped through the books for a while. The total time is less than half a stick of incense."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Your Majesty will not allow you to call me."

Ruan Xueyin turned around and glanced at the obsidian curtain and the books on the table that had obviously been touched.Yes, I finally came up here, just to see what I do here every day and night.Falling asleep is easier than being awake.

"That's all. He didn't blame him, what are you doing with a sad face?"

She poked her head slightly and looked through the swaying gauze curtain, the long white shadow had disappeared into the darkening night.

But the night sky is clear.

The clouds disappeared at some point.Those stars hanging in the dark sky have a sense of eternity.like his eyes.

Ruan Xueyin was a little puzzled, when Gu Xinglang was on the Yuehua Terrace just now, when the two looked at each other, she could clearly feel the wind blowing, and a large cloud layer looming down.

Received the tip in an instant?
She thought maybe she hadn't woken up and had an illusion, so she wasn't ashamed to ask.

Gu Xinglang asked.

"The weather in June is getting more and more strange. Just now, the clouds have descended, and there is a tendency of heavy rain, but after a while, it becomes clear again."

A group of people were walking back to Wanlan Hall, his pace was slow, the clouds were calm and the wind was light, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.But Diyan couldn't understand what he heard, so he thought about it carefully and answered:
"Your Majesty, there are no clouds tonight."

"Just now on the Yuehua Terrace, didn't the sky change?"

Diyan was sure that the weather was fine tonight, and there were no clouds, so he guessed that Jun Shang had an illusion due to fatigue, so he stopped answering the phone.But Gu Xinglang said again:

"It's already June, but I can still smell the aroma of orange blossoms. It seems to be stronger than ordinary orange blossoms."

This is not nonsense.Diyan will return:
"Your Majesty, there are no more orange blossoms in the palace this season. I also smelled it on the Yuehua Terrace before. I think it is the smell of Mrs. Pei's body, balm or sachet."

He resisted the last sentence: You have come so far, can you still smell it?

But there is another question that needs to be asked: "Your Majesty, the black jade-like long pipe in Mrs. Pei's hand—"

This long tube has appeared many times in Yunxi's description, just now Ruan Xueyin was holding it in her hand when she fell asleep, and Gu Xinglang saw it too.

"It's really interesting. Didn't Yunxi say that she called it the Moyu mirror? I thought I could see more clearly with it, but I don't know why. But even artifacts like the obsidian curtain and the mountain and river plate can exist in the world. A small utensil is nothing."

As he answered, he remembered her hand holding the long pipe.The five fingers are slender, as white as jade.

like his cup.
