景,十二月,夜裡雪紛飛,落了一地銀白,本該悄聲無息,可今日注定不平。42Please respect copyright.PENANAsjatQ0lq7m
一聲哀慟由紫宸殿傳出,劃破寂靜的夜晚。42Please respect copyright.PENANA4jjRsdWYRd
皇帝,駕崩——42Please respect copyright.PENANAl0TwFOlVY1
廟號高宗,白幡飄遍盛京,空氣沉沉,新帝登基、幼主繼位,朝中暗流翻湧、風聲鶴唳,或外戚欲圖干政、或王爺宮變。42Please respect copyright.PENANALKbMITrd4f
沒料到竟有人劈開洶雲,擾亂一切謀畫。42Please respect copyright.PENANAJfzjRGBmge
高宗胞弟,秦王,持高宗遺旨奉命攝政,其母乃外族之人、不受待見,可聖旨並未造假、不疑有他,當即被封攝政王,時年不過二十。42Please respect copyright.PENANAb9918NWBH1
攝政王去除異黨,削弱外戚勢力,雷厲風行,手段超越同齡人,沒多久將朝內外收拾妥帖,牢實地掌握朝政。42Please respect copyright.PENANAhhdXiKZ4pz
識才選賢、懲治腐敗,輔政兩年即締天下太平,深得民心。42Please respect copyright.PENANA3V2dCIDPTK
萬祈五年,年初。42Please respect copyright.PENANA1U3vGf0Nmp
盛京。42Please respect copyright.PENANAUdsDR7bkBb
這方過新年,年節熱鬧餘溫未散,又緊挨著個日子,便是相府三姑娘的及笄禮。42Please respect copyright.PENANAic7VXOWeM2
府中上下忙得熱火朝天,因為各大權貴屆時皆會蒞臨,以至於沒有人敢懈怠半分。42Please respect copyright.PENANAgnTzL0qIP3
笄禮當日,相府門前熱鬧非凡,各賓攜禮登門造訪,不乏達官顯貴、皇親國戚,贈禮成堆。42Please respect copyright.PENANActj2Rq0Nhv
宰相與其夫人,也就是三姑娘——崔落寒的爹娘,於主廳迎賓。42Please respect copyright.PENANAmzB4fshXpg
男人一襲絳紫,相貌極好、那雙狐狸眼笑瞇瞇,總在望向女人時含帶溫柔,歲月似乎沒在他臉上留下什麼痕跡,反而添絲沉穩。42Please respect copyright.PENANA1cvl9ywvG9
挽髻的女人著相同顏色卻別有韻味,不似男人的高貴,而是洗盡鉛華之美,淡雅如菊,芳如蘭草。42Please respect copyright.PENANAiNZkx9ycUm
朝中官員年齡許多落在四、五十,可偏偏這位已過不惑的相爺是當中唯一不蓄鬍、且容貌不怎衰的,就導致看著他會有小輩似的錯覺。42Please respect copyright.PENANAWjMQfIaSJo
眾人心裡紛紛感嘆,不愧為當年探花郎,風姿仍舊。42Please respect copyright.PENANAt2au85pHgM
這探花郎有個不成文的規定,得從進士中擇相貌英俊者出來,有學識又有容貌,不是誰都能當的。42Please respect copyright.PENANA1Am5iQF7AH
這不,一路青雲,年紀輕輕官至宰相、又迎娶上官家的姑娘。前些年大公子也成了探花,封鴻臚寺少卿,現出使西域呢。42Please respect copyright.PENANAO6P0v4ZNxf
羨慕不過來啊……42Please respect copyright.PENANAoHHurSos7g
此時我們的相爺,崔明珹,握著夫人上官茗柔軟白皙的手,輕輕搭上她腰際,附耳道:「玉娘,園裡景色正好,不覺與夢裡——」42Please respect copyright.PENANAOvGwQFGqL3
她面色一紅,連忙推開他,「年紀都多大了盡想這些,今日可是寒兒的笄禮,別添亂!」42Please respect copyright.PENANAAbpW5c5mfY
「妳夫君血氣方剛,不像官場那些力不從心的傢伙,況且兒女見我們鶼鰈情深,高興都來不及。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAwvI9gmw0fe
「你……無恥!」42Please respect copyright.PENANAIJxdBrhUnY
崔相習以為常,嘴邊的笑意愈發地深,「多罵幾句,我就當妳答應了,花朵紅豔,定是很配玉娘!」42Please respect copyright.PENANAm67E7uIEpD
語畢,便負手往眾官員們的方向走去,那背挺得直,氣度不凡,好個光風霽月的宰相。42Please respect copyright.PENANAoVVQ0hMyea
她怎麼就攤上這個男人?玉娘待臉頰燥熱退去,才往升堂迎客。42Please respect copyright.PENANAziQLurdJzX
「晉王到——」42Please respect copyright.PENANA7eXnkCc3r5
晉王,面若冠玉,身著雪色,舉手投足帶著翩翩公子的氣息與皇家貴氣,執了把白玉扇,一入場便被有貴女上前搭話。42Please respect copyright.PENANABiA6ZsubCI
「晉王殿下果然也到場了,看來傳聞不假。」42Please respect copyright.PENANABPiRyvTihy
傳聞晉王對崔三姑娘糾纏不清,似是有意。42Please respect copyright.PENANAgc7ZplyOGW
「那他與二姑娘的婚約如何是好?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAB4vCSYmtTq
「可三姑娘不也有婚約麼?還是與那位……」42Please respect copyright.PENANAOEFhnKnlb9
「要我說,晉王較好相處,那位實在是……而且多年來也不見那位提起婚事,怕是早不記得了。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAcn0Sk7274w
賓客們竊竊私語,晉王乃聖上胞弟,特許待在京中伴駕,手上一柄玉扇,不知勾了多少女眷的心,偏生喜歡三姑娘,三姑娘還與一位不能惹的大人有婚約。 42Please respect copyright.PENANAKNFOIdF0jy
「攝政王到——」42Please respect copyright.PENANAYBI1pYlBuy
說人人到。42Please respect copyright.PENANAIcnNSjWvbg
名頭一響,本火熱朝天的氣氛瞬間凝結,凍成寒冰,靜得連根針落地都聽得見,崔相同樣渾身一震,全場人都將目光聚集在門口。42Please respect copyright.PENANAnN9dTOceE2
他居然會到場?42Please respect copyright.PENANAwBVGJsg5AM
其母為蘭撒公主,蘭撒位西域,早些年間已被大景納入版圖,以致於攝政王的容貌與穿著同常人有些許異處,在朝廷裡成為標誌性的模樣。42Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0994PAo41
男人踏黑靴、身姿挺拔,著黛紫金絲滾邊云錦長袍顯得更加修長,墨色狐裘以翠玉扣金鍊固定,長髮披散,綁了少許細辮作飾,額鍊與晃盪的金圈紫水玉耳環熠熠生輝。42Please respect copyright.PENANAi320np00SR
眸子帶淺琥珀色,往裡探去則似籠罩著黑霧,宛若隱匿於夜色的狼泛著幽光。俊美異常的臉龐妖冶而不媚俗,雙眉若劍,高挺的鼻下是兩瓣薄而紅潤的唇,輪廓棱角分明。42Please respect copyright.PENANAPJeesoM4hs
他含笑,優雅矜貴,看似無害、細品卻覺毛骨悚然,令人不敢逼視。42Please respect copyright.PENANAS8hzreTY2c
「參見殿下——」42Please respect copyright.PENANABJVkAxpEiQ
齊聲且震耳欲聾,無人敢多瞧一眼。42Please respect copyright.PENANAaaBDAbwQvv
「免禮。」42Please respect copyright.PENANA6MjnuE8a2I
軒轅寂抬手朝眾人虛扶一把,低沉的嗓音帶著威壓,冷得他們心頭一跳。42Please respect copyright.PENANAPxXnafAulY
「謝殿下!」42Please respect copyright.PENANANNrGkSfpF4
他被帶入賓席最高位,氣氛被這插曲一打斷,即使樂音仍然鼓奏,但他們也只敢低聲私語,怕擾了上頭的大人。42Please respect copyright.PENANA0eeJB4jzx9
直至典禮開始,才總算打破僵局,除了崔相,底下還坐著攝政王、晉王等人物,排場之浩大皆是大家可望不可及的,不過也只有羨慕的份了,誰叫他們沒那命呢。42Please respect copyright.PENANAR8tW4YBh36
玉娘站在階上,眸光是感動也是不捨,崔落寒著象徵童時的衫子,一出房,眾人便將焦點放在這位集萬千寵愛的主人公上。42Please respect copyright.PENANA0vXFr4Bhnm
雖說衣服普通,可捺不住姑娘光彩姿容,崔落寒瞥到座上一處,早晨起床的瞌睡蟲立刻跑走。42Please respect copyright.PENANALLKFCp68ty
年輕男人慵懶地靠在椅背,骨節分明的手捏著白瓷茶杯,桌上擺了幾盤糕點,他眸子彷彿如酒揉著金粉般瀲灩,飛眉入鬢的邪氣森然,靜靜地坐在旁便是一道最艷麗的風景。42Please respect copyright.PENANA9RJxf8xHrc
沒錯,「艷麗」一詞用來形容這個男人一點也不為過,宛如上天嘔心瀝血、精心雕琢出的人,將所有偏愛都灌注在他身上。42Please respect copyright.PENANAelD8ucAIyD
他目光粼粼卻深沉,參雜幾分別樣的情緒注視著她,崔落寒從沒見過如此俊美的人,不禁多瞄了幾眼,看他的位置,官位應不遜色爹爹。42Please respect copyright.PENANAvhgWVPLmAz
從前她以為阿兄就是世上最好看的男子,但他比阿兄好看太多了。42Please respect copyright.PENANAnHIBLXB6bx
就是面容有些眼熟。42Please respect copyright.PENANAZuGgujNsX0
可任憑崔落寒如何回憶,愣是想不起任何關於他的身影。42Please respect copyright.PENANARnRIKZ138e
不過這麼漂亮又有地位的人應該有妻子吧?她認識又怎麼樣。42Please respect copyright.PENANAOt1b2lnj5s
聽娘親說她自己也有婚約,只是要待及笄後才肯告訴她,不曉得那人長得好不好。42Please respect copyright.PENANARu5Nrsokmv
她步至階下,玉娘盥洗後取過冠笄,聲音微微哽咽:42Please respect copyright.PENANAnT8SnRn0yP
「吉月令日,始加元服,棄爾幼志,順爾成德,壽考維祺,以介畢福。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAErxsmpDBHv
崔落寒跪下,讓玉娘把笄加到自己頭上,而後便退回房更衣。42Please respect copyright.PENANApz3EjMVnCw
崔相看得眉開眼笑,欣慰無比,終於啊……家中三個子女都已成年了,見玉娘濕濕的眼眶,心疼地用指腹抹去,攬過她。42Please respect copyright.PENANA2iukNeDXxp
「寒兒成年了,是喜事,莫哭。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAheCzl6YOni
「就是想到女兒都要嫁人了,捨不得……」42Please respect copyright.PENANAmWseptcDTm
知道她內心憂慮,他溫柔地語氣說道:42Please respect copyright.PENANAUqp8oLAG8a
「放心,寒兒有我們,不會受委屈的,若夫家待不下去,相府隨時開門迎接。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAMmLg0hCrXb
「要是再不捨,為夫再爭取生個女兒?」42Please respect copyright.PENANA9pbrOsKshp
「滾!」玉娘薄面一紅,往他身上打去,但眼眶的淚卻也被他沖淡不少。42Please respect copyright.PENANAIXkof6rXJk
崔落寒再由東房緩緩走出,頭滿珠釵,青蓮大袖與月白色齊胸云錦襦裙,步搖隨步伐顧盼生輝,雲髻霧鬟,雙眸如兩汪清泉靈動,美得無瑕。42Please respect copyright.PENANAq2sVoVGail
軒轅寂掃過底下的人,他們眼珠都要黏到她身上去了,有一搭沒一搭地敲著扶手,眸底掠過絲陰暗。
若非他眼力見,早早定下婚約,否則她便會被其他野狗叼去。42Please respect copyright.PENANADCq62vCMBS
方才看她陌生的目光,怕是忘記以前的事了。
無礙,他記得就好。42Please respect copyright.PENANAYn1jdmBmsz
接著仍是一段唱辭,授予表字,離昭、離昭,離火昭明,寄望其未來如焰火光明艷麗。42Please respect copyright.PENANAFdDMQhzzTG
位上的男人垂眸,寒中火,確實像極了她。42Please respect copyright.PENANAgUMdsJof6A
崔落寒走上位置,舉起酒杯,向爹娘、其餘賓客敬酒,當然,杯子裡裝的只是桃花釀,甜不醉人。42Please respect copyright.PENANAkwXCYum8UK
禮成後隨即開宴,主角便輪到結交人物的各官員們。42Please respect copyright.PENANAsS0rQSxvlQ
崔落寒問向玉娘,「娘親,您說得等我及笄後才說是何人與我定婚約,如今能告訴我了嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAt8iK8FNBvJ
自家單純的小女兒迫不及待的模樣,水潤潤的眼像極了貓兒,玉娘心裡著實擔憂。42Please respect copyright.PENANAtfHAQeaScW
把愛玩的小姑娘丟到權力頂峰,她有辦法扛住麼?42Please respect copyright.PENANATMlsF6XgJE
「寒兒長大了,自是行的,那位著紫袍黑裘的殿下,即是當今攝政王,便是妳未來夫婿。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAthKlNSRfnl
崔落寒眼睛睜大,轉頭又去望了眼男人,得知是他後,和剛才見到的感覺完全不同。42Please respect copyright.PENANAxfuPlmOrsp
她喜歡!42Please respect copyright.PENANAarmwNTgrv9
軒轅寂注意力從未移開過姑娘,她一回頭便與他對上眼,只見小姑娘的眼睛像兩顆美麗的玄玉,點點燈光被囊映裡頭,清澈而絢爛,其他觥籌交錯頓時模糊去。42Please respect copyright.PENANA5JC7hzuqQa
他朝她瞇眼一笑,崔落寒白皙的皮膚覆上薄粉,報以笑顏後收回視線。42Please respect copyright.PENANA9zBICo93PX
玉娘看她面色含春,便曉得姑娘家的心思,忍不住叮囑:「寒兒,穩重些,千萬別惹他不悅,否則妳就不好過了。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAvUNll1Yymy
「娘親多想了,殿下看著不像那種人!」崔落寒方收到男人足以令天色黯然的笑容,怎可能相信呢。42Please respect copyright.PENANAP9bKURu6Ak
「……」玉娘更擔心了,攝政王冷血無情,別看總掛著笑,那都不入眼底的,手握的嘲風衛更是寒滲,人數雖不多,但卻抵得上皇城所有禁軍。42Please respect copyright.PENANAdzllpdf7LH
「娘親吃些酥酪,別嘆氣了,女兒不會添麻煩的。」崔落寒捧起一糖蒸酥酪湊到玉娘嘴邊。42Please respect copyright.PENANAUcKR8ePoxE
玉娘接過酥酪,拍拍姑娘的小手。42Please respect copyright.PENANAM676mtvnRn
但願吧。42Please respect copyright.PENANAl7hnLgphfi
