It's rare for two people to meet each other, so they naturally cherish this opportunity.
Mo Jingxiao looked around and saw that there seemed to be many palace maids staring at them. He immediately stretched out his hand to hold Ning Yujin in his arms, pointed his toes, swept his body, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Ning Yujin didn't know where Mo Jingxiao was going to take her. But wouldn't it be the same wherever she went with him?
His arms are the safest harbor. Almost as soon as you get close to him, your whole body and mind calm down, and you are filled with a sense of belonging.
Mo Jingxiao's footsteps stopped in front of a palace. He did not push open the vermilion door, but climbed directly over the wall to enter, pushed open the inner door, and entered the palace.
His speed was too fast, and Ning Yujin didn't have time to see what kind of palace it was, but after walking inside, she found fluttering gauze curtains, carved phoenixes, and every detail was exquisitely decorated. It was clearly a palace for a woman.
The only women who can have an independent palace in the palace, apart from Mo Ye's sister Jinghe who is already married, are the concubines of the main palace. It can be seen that although this place is cleaned and spotless, it is
There is no smell of fireworks, and it clearly looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time.
"here it is……"
Ning Yujin had a vague idea in her mind, but then she started to raise her head and look at Mo Jingxiao.
"The place where my mother and concubine used to live." Mo Jingxiao said calmly, then he hugged Ning Yujin and entered the innermost place.
Ning Yujin carefully looked at the layout of the palace every step she took. It must be said that a person's personality can be seen from the details. She saw the bell hanging on the ribbon used to tie the gauze curtain and looked at the wall.
There are some simple decorations hanging on it. Although they are not expensive, they make a cold palace look as warm as a home.
It can be seen from this that this Concubine Chen must be a kind and gentle woman. Even after marrying into the royal family, she still wanted to spend her whole life caring for her husband and raising children.
It's a pity that this big vat of power cannot allow her to be a good wife and mother.
Ning Yujin's eyes finally fell on the painting hanging by the bedside in the inner room. Mo Jingxiao let go of her hand and walked away for a while. She just stood blankly in front of the painting, seeing that
god.
The painting is not like the ink landscapes in the Central Plains, but more like the realistic murals in the Dunhuang Grottoes. A woman with long curly hair stands on the surging wind and waves, wearing blue clothes with wave patterns on her body, and her eyes are also that kind of pure sea blue.
.
At her feet, there were crowds of people fleeing in all directions, and the whole world was out of control. A man stood at her feet, turned into a stone statue, and was about to be submerged by the waves.
The most noteworthy thing is that there seems to be a tear hanging on the woman's face. The shape of the teardrop is extremely strange, a bit like...
Ning Yujin lowered her head and took out the bead she was wearing around her neck from her clothes. After comparing it, she found that it was exactly the same.
"Tears of the Poseidon..." She suddenly thought of some of the words Mo Jingxiao said to her when she fell asleep, and murmured Zhuzi's name.
She lowered her head and was thinking about something when she felt her waist tighten. Mo Jingxiao hugged her whole body and rested his head on her shoulder: "What are you looking at?"
"That painting." Ning Yujin squinted her eyes and scanned the painting from beginning to end, and asked puzzledly, "What kind of story is this?"
"Want to know?" Mo Jingxiao asked her.
Ning Yujin nodded: "I am a curious baby."
What's more, Mo Jingxiao also gave this bead to her on the day of their engagement, which must be of great significance.
Mo Jingxiao let go of his hand and did not answer directly. Instead, he handed her a set of plain palace clothes: "Change into clothes first, and I'll tell you later."
It's a cold place. How about changing clothes? It's not freezing to death?
Ning Yujin suddenly looked at Mo Jingxiao strangely: "I'm dressed well, why do I need to change my clothes? These are new clothes, the latest styles in the palace, and they are super warm. And it is very easy to change clothes here.
Catch a cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yujin felt that the surroundings seemed to be slowly getting warmer, and the source of the heat seemed to be the person in front of her.
He handed the clothes to her, and they were all warmed to the touch, but not cold at all.
Ning Yujin guessed that Mo Jingxiao wanted to see her in women's clothes, so she didn't think much about it, took off her outer shirt and quickly put on the palace attire.
The palace dress is a bit too big. Judging from the texture and pattern, it should be worn by Mo Jingxiao's mother before she was born. Ning Yujin was looking at it carefully, and Mo Jingxiao said: "She has never worn this set of clothes, don't worry."
Ning Yujin chuckled. It was just a piece of clothing, and it was not worn by a plague patient. What was she afraid of?
Ning Yujin's attention was quickly drawn back without any further delay on the matter of clothes: "Well, Xiao, the clothes have been changed, you can tell me now."
Mo Jingxiao sat down on the soft couch, beckoned her over, and held her in his arms, warm and warm: "This story takes place in a small coastal country called Chaolan. The people there have been offering their food and clothing for generations.
Their parents are Poseidon, and they believe that Poseidon will bless them to go to sea smoothly and have a safe life. Until one day, Poseidon suddenly no longer bless them, but angrily swallowed the entire country overnight, leaving no one alive. "
Ning Yujin pointed to the painting and said, "Is that the scene?"
Huge waves surged towards those innocent creatures, destroying all life...
"What about that stone statue? Then why does Poseidon cry?"
"Because Poseidon fell in love with a human man, but that man betrayed her. She turned him into a stone statue so that he could never leave her again, and also attracted everyone to support their love.
Buried with him."
Ning Yujin frowned slightly: "Isn't such eternity cruel?"
"But sometimes loving and being loved is a very cruel thing." Mo Jingxiao looked calm and hugged her, as if there was nothing unusual. "If two people from two different worlds insist on being together,
Together, the tragedy is inevitable."
For example, his father and his mother-in-law.
Ning Yujin didn't understand why a tsunami was exaggerated into a sad and cruel love story, but she probably understood that this bead contained Mo Jingxiao's complicated emotions for his father, the emperor, his mother and his concubine.
The late emperor gave this bead to Concubine Chen because he wanted to promise her eternity, even if it was in a very cruel way.
Ning Yujin thought about the two people lying in the imperial mausoleum now, and wondered if this could be considered as fulfilling his promise.
And now Mo Jingxiao gave her this bead...
Ning Yujin took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, and kissed the corner of Mo Jingxiao's mouth.
