Qingchuan History

Chapter 958
Jing Tingge was present the whole night of the eighth year of Jinghong, but she was in the tent with Ruan Xueyin when the Shangguan Banquet went back to get wine.

So she only knew that Shangguan Yan went out of the palace to get the wine, but she didn't know the old plum tree, and she didn't know the meaning behind Gu Xinglang asking to dig under the tree and actually dug up a jug of wine.

When the wine was warmed, Gu Xinglang personally tried the hot and cold, at a certain moment he said "it's ready", poured it out, sniffed it lightly, took another sip, smiled, poured another bowl, and handed it to Jing Tingge.

"This wine is called Dream Millennium. Try it."

Jing Tingge reached out to pick it up, and the moment he ate the old wine, he suddenly understood why Gu Xinglang gave him the first bowl.

Some understand that no credentials are required.

Some evidence cannot be broken.

Evidence that cannot be broken is often not called evidence.

She swung her head up, causing Murong Xun to look sideways.

Seeing this, Ruan Xueyin got up to fill another bowl and handed it to Murong Xun.

Murong Xun just took it and hadn't drunk it yet, Jing Tingge got up and went out.

He went straight out without turning back to the cave where he lived to get the cloak.

"She'll freeze to death." Ruan Xueyin then got up, put on her cloak, and followed out with a Jingting song.

Outside the cave, Ji Qi is on duty, and Jing Tingge is asking him something.Ji Qi pointed not far away, and at the same time wanted to take off the jacket over the armor and give it to her.

"Leave it to your highness, the princess. As a man, you must be virtuous, and don't just put clothes on the girl casually."

Ji Qi was blocked for a long time before answering: "You are my sister, not a girl."

"That's not necessary."

Ruan Xueyin stepped forward at this moment and hung the cloak on her back and shoulders.

Jing Tingge sneered, pulled the tie and tied it skillfully, tidied up a bit, and went in the direction that Cai Ji Qi pointed.

It is an ordinary tall tree, and she has passed through too many forests and seas in the past few days, and she has no longer noticed what kind of tree it is.

So much so that An Ye tried to tell the difference again, but she couldn't. She squinted her eyes and took a good look. There was no reason, so she had to ask Ruan Xueyin who came behind:
"What kind of tree is this?"

"Tilia."

Jing Tingge turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "You can see this?"

"It was not completely dark when I got off the car, so I took a look. There is a purple linden tree nearby."

Jing Tingge nodded, "I just remember it was a pine forest." Although he didn't notice it, he still had an impression.

"Well, the rest are red pine trees." Ruan Xueyin said lightly.

Jing Tingge looked down at the pit in the snow.The wine was dug out from here, very close to the cave, so it took a stick of incense to find it.

She stared at the pit, "Why does the purple linden grow in the red pine forest?"

Ruan Xueyin was quite dissatisfied, "You study geography, these are all learned—"

"I'm not like you who studied medicine. I have been dealing with flowers and plants for more than [-] years. When I was young, I memorized it fluently. I don't need it when I grow up. It's not like I forgot it."

"This tree likes to grow alone and scattered. It only loves to grow in the red pine forest."

Jing Tingge touched the crimson cloak on his body for no reason.

I also thought of the red robes worn by Shangguan Yanfei.

absurd.She cursed to herself, then raised her head to look at the outlines of the dark branches and leaves, "Where is the purple in the purple linden?"

There is always a place where it gets its name.

"Branches, purple-brown." Ruan Xueyin replied, turning her head to look at her, it was clear that something was wrong, and she suppressed it, "The flowers are light yellow, and the flower and fruit period is from June to September. The nectar brewed is extremely sweet."

Jing Tingge didn't ask about the flowering period, let alone the nectar.

I felt that Ruan Xueyin was talking too much on purpose.

"It's just a jar of wine, but I ran out to see it under the ice. Is it for Murong's safety, or is it because I'm afraid of seeing him?"

Ruan Xueyin rarely made fun of these things.Jing Tingge's heart was shaken, "It seems that I was kept in the dark."

"You and I are about the same."

"I don't understand." Jing Tingge frowned.How can Gu Xinglang prepare, this place is thousands of miles away from Daqi; Murong Xun is a poor general, and he has been away from the game for nearly four years - but the further north he goes, the less worried or panicked, as if what will happen next, Everyone counts.

"I've seen you soon, there's no need to bother. Go back."

Jingting song seems to have never been heard, looking at the tree and the pit, looking around.

"he's not here."

"You also know?"

Ruan Xueyin just found it funny, "Your brain is not clear, I am too lazy to analyze it with you."

Ji Qi came over with a torch and said that it was windy at night, so it was best to go back and avoid it.

Jing Tingge was still suspicious, but he couldn't help but believe Ruan Xueyin's judgment. When he returned to the cave, he found that the three people who had been drinking were skewed. "It's just one altar, drink three, it's really worthy of the name of dreaming for a thousand years."

Although Ruan Xueyin knew the strength of the wine, she also knew that Gu Xinglang and Ruan Zhong both had the ability to drink for a thousand cups, while Murong Xun was slightly inferior, but he would never be overwhelmed by such a small amount of weight.

Jing Tingge also thought of it, "There will be no problem, right?"

Ruan Xueyin then went over to pick up the wine bowl in front of Ruan Zhong, sniffed it carefully, then dipped her finger into it to inspect it, then took out a silver needle to test, and finally stretched out her hand, touched Ruan Zhong's forehead, and felt the pulse on his wrist.

There is nothing wrong with it.

And Jing Tingge stared at Gu Xinglang the whole time, the more he watched, the more amusing he became, and finally squatted closer, "Your Majesty has jealousy and annoyance written all over his face, and he's pretending to be drunk."

Gu Xinglang ignored her.

There is nothing wrong with it, and there is not much wine, so I can only pretend to be drunk.Ruan Xueyin also came to the same conclusion, stood up, and La Jingtingge left.

They all walked into the passage, Jing Tingge stopped, and wanted to turn back—for no reason, tacit understanding to pretend to be drunk?

"So what if I know?" Ruan Xueyin asked.

"What exactly is it?"

"I really don't know."

Jing Tingge's eyes became dark. "Have you looked at the stars recently?"

"Ah."

Jing Ting Song waited for her to say.

"The phenomenon of changing the sky."

"Which direction?"

Ruan Xueyin actually had a look, but shook her head.

It is rare for Jing Tingge to be full of worries.

"Sometimes, when you think about it, it's good to only solve the problem among the chess players, without involving the common people or causing disturbances in the entire continent."

There are many things that Jing Ting Ge doesn't understand, but she understands Ruan Xueyin's words as always. "But you have to know that if you fight from a distance, you may be able to survive, but if you decide the outcome in close quarters, you will definitely be killed or injured."

Definitely a sleepless night.

The two went back to their own rooms, after washing, they lay down next to the child, closed their eyes, and their minds were full of noise.Jing Tingge's question about stargazing lingered repeatedly and became louder and louder. Ruan Xueyin had to open her eyes, sit up, struggle for a while, and finally put on her clothes and went out.

The stars and the moon are not bright tonight, but there are not many clouds. Leave the forest and go to a higher open space to have a look.

There are many people on duty, Ji Qi has changed shifts, and Xiao Ba is guarding the entrance of the cave.

"It is late at night, Your Highness."

Ruan Xueyin smiled, "Just go out of the woods, not go far."

Xiao Ba thought, please wait a moment, went over to tell another soldier, ordered five more people, and returned: "Your Highness, my subordinates, go."

Murong still kept his eyes closed in the cave where the thousand-year-old fragrance of the dream floated.

For a long time, he said quietly: "There is a hexagram in the "Book of Changes" called Lu, which is the upper part of the lower part."

Its voice is melodious, but lazy, like drunken talk, like dream talk.

Gu Xinglang and Ruan Zhong also closed their eyes.So whoever hears these words is speaking to them. Those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand will be in vain.

No answer.After cupping tea, Gu Xinglang stood up staggeringly, and walked out while supporting the cave wall.

By the entrance of the cave, the man had already stood up straight, of course he was not drunk, when he saw the guard's face, his eyes sharpened, "Why is it you?"

He governed the army more strictly than ever before. Once arranged, people, time, and place must be absolutely followed-this time, this person should not be.

"Return to Your Majesty," the guard shuddered, bowed his head and said in a low voice, "The queen is out, and Xiao Ba has brought people along with her."

The moonlight was brighter than before, making the highlands beyond the forest sea seem extraordinarily open.Ruan Xueyin sat cross-legged, the blanket under her body was extremely thick to insulate her from the coolness, but her face and hands were the coldest—holding her black jade mirror and raising her head for too long, she felt a little stiff.

Gu Xinglang was spotted by Xiao Ba and the others before he got there, he pointed to his lips, motioning for everyone to keep quiet.

As he got closer, he saw her. The crimson red of the cloak was especially warm in the silver-blue snowy night, but her posture was as cold as usual, and the whole picture, such a stargazing scene, reminded people of the Yuehua Terrace in Qi Palace.

And the terrace outside the study room of Wan Lan Hall.

He watched the stars with her like that, many nights, intermittently for many years.

For a while, she felt that her handwriting was ugly, so she deliberately ran up to Yuehuatai when she was watching the stars, ordered her to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones, surrounded her from behind, and taught her each stroke stroke by stroke, writing each word twenty times, causing trouble. It annoys her.

"Ruan Xueyin's three characters must always be practiced well." He insisted.

Ruan Xueyin's legs were sore after standing for a long time, and her neck was also sore from lowering her head. She turned her face and said, "How about making a deal with you?"

"tell me the story."

Ruan Xueyin turned her neck and raised her face even more, leaning close to his ear: "I'll kiss you for as long as it takes to practice these characters, and I won't practice the characters."

Gu Xinglang has no reason not to follow.

The four treasures of the study on the Zhijiao table all fell to the ground, and the inkstone and Yunxi rushed up when they heard the sound, and they were about to lift the curtain to enter.

All kinds of sweetness from the past are mixed into the wine flowing in the body, which is extremely heartburning.He shivered.

Xiao Ba actually found that Jun Shang was short of clothes, and wanted to ask if he ordered someone to go back to get the cloak, but just as he took a step, Gu Xinglang waved his hanging hand.

Ruan Xueyin withdrew her gaze and Mo Yujing, only to realize that there was someone beside her.

Ben was pretending to be drunk, so she was not surprised, she moved a little and didn't want to be next to him, but found that this man would freeze to death just like Jing Tingge earlier. "Drinking wine, you should keep warm."

"Forgot. I just went to the entrance of the cave to wake up. I heard that you went out, so I came here directly." Gu Xinglang smiled, his whole body immersed in the moonlight had a kind of cool beauty, which made people dizzy.

"Go back." Ruan Xueyin was about to get up.The only way to save him from the cold is to go back together immediately.

"Just give me your cloak."

If I take it off to you, won't I freeze to death?Ruan Xueyin almost said it, but fortunately she didn't, because it looked like flirting.

She untied the tie, and just as she unfolded the cloak, Gu Xinglang squeezed and squeezed, and the two of them were under the same robe.

It's not enough, but it can also block the back.He smiled contentedly, and tied the tie again, thus binding the two of them together.

——Looking from the back, it's very funny, and it's heart-warming and sad, and I can't bear to look forward.

She thought he was going to pester people again, but he didn't, so she sat down for a while and asked, "Will there be a wife at the Shangguan banquet?"

"No."

Ruan Xueyin was about to think about Jing Tingge when he heard him say again: "But there are a lot of women, same as before."

I really don't know whether to be happy or sad. ——What are you worried about?The dust has settled on Jing Tingge and Murong Xun.

"I heard, I just heard." Before he finished, "He likes the same thing now. They are all like court songs."

Ruan Xueyin's heart went up and down three times in just a few moments, and she almost suspected that he was deliberately teasing her. "What does that mean? Take in a yard of girls who look like Jingting songs, and change them every day? Do you really think of yourself as a king?"

Gu Xinglang was already a little bit drunk, but he was happy to be next to her, and he smiled happily: "Why are you so mean when you talk about him? It's so different from other people, I'm going to be jealous."

"You have too much jealousy." After Ruan Xueyin finished speaking, she felt that she had slipped her words and regretted it too late.

Gu Xinglang pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "That kid's peach blossoms are as prosperous as ever. Remember when I told you that a student of Jing Tingge became an official in the Ministry of Rites? Probably because she was a student, but also because The New Deal originally advocated that women should be equal to men—in short, he took care of that little girl so much that she thought of giving her body to her."

The oldest student of Jing Ting Ge is only in his teens, right?Ruan Xueyin was quite speechless, but she had to admit that such a thing could easily happen to Shangguan Yan.

It is also easy to happen to Gu Xinglang.

Birds of a feather really flock together.

"Didn't it mean that the dark net in Cangwu has been completely smashed by him?" But even this kind of thing is clear.

"Xiu Luan, you know."

Ruan Xueyin reacted a little and remembered.At that critical moment, the girl sent a message of Cangwu's change, which directly prompted Gu Xinglang to go north and return to Qi safely—a letter of gratitude, which left a deep impression on him.

"Is she still working for you?"

"Probably thinks that Jing Ting Ge's death has something to do with the Shangguan Banquet, she hoped that I would win." Gu Xinglang smiled, "The two maidservants of Jing Ting Ge are serving him now."

Is it another kind of seeing things and thinking about others?Ruan Xueyin didn't want to think about the Shangguan Banquet so affectionately, but she couldn't help but hope for Jing Tingge.

Because under the purple linden tree, the girl was obviously disturbed.

"We can chat, we have a tacit understanding, we can be confidants, there is no need to stay together and tie the knot." Gu Xinglang concluded, "It is also a kind of completion for the two of them to end like this."

Ruan Xueyin agreed, her heart moved slightly, she turned to look at him, "You and I are the same."

Gu Xinglang didn't understand at first.

Then he also turned his head, with a half smile but not a smile: "You and I are bosom friends."

Ruan Xueyin shook her head: "You and I were just able to chat and have a tacit understanding at the beginning. We should stop here."

He was born to advance aggressively, but she retreated and finally catered to him, so there was no end to this nearly ten-year crisis.

Xu was the ups and downs after the reunion, Xu was the good night, the peace before the blizzard, Gu Xinglang was not sad or annoyed by these words, on the contrary, like her, he talked seriously like an outsider:

"But there are still heartbeats out of order, tossing and turning, can't help being close, and even want to occupy, day and night, life after life. How do these count, how can you just be a confidant?"

He deliberately suppressed affection and discussed the matter as it stands.

But she didn't suppress the scorching starlight in her eyes, forcing her to stop staring and turn to look at the sky.

He also went to look at the sky and the stars and the moon, thinking of the stars falling in Pengxi Mountain on a spring night, not as bright as here, but with a warm texture, more brilliant than a dream after a long river of years.

"The cause and effect between people cannot be calculated, just like reason is no match for emotion, brain is no match for heart - I think this is the fatal weakness of being born as a human being, but it is also the greatest benefit. Do it again, countless times, it will still be the same. This is the cause and effect of you and me, Xiaoxue."

　I'm a bit busy, and the ending is coming soon, and it's going to be slower, everyone, please don't worry~ We can't lose the chain at the last moment, we have to be cautious in the end~~
