「這初春的風可真冷啊。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j4ETLgqnU
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPbDW2lNJf
我把衣袍拉得更緊些，但仍阻擋不住透心的寒意。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zWZCUodJB
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9t8wMVBAA
不過我並未討厭寒冷——畢竟越冷，梅花才能開得越盛。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdWSjETFW6
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj0CEn8k4P
這裡是皇宮外圍一處極為僻靜的梅林，尤其現在天寒地凍，更是杳無人跡。只有我常在閒暇之時，才會來這散步賞景——今日也是。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkyiP3bJSE
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1bYg4VsBy
我漫步在林中，享受難得的悠閒。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgeecI9Cb4
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jTyGqU8C5
忽見前方人影閃動，我警覺的停下腳步，抬眼望去。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT5O0tUvK6
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnTMuGjASh
一位身穿黑色長袍的男子朝我的方向走來。他衣著雖然樸素，但仍可看出用的是上好布料；他的腰間掛著一塊玉珮，雕紋繁複，絕非常人能所擁有。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsehieCtI02
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcNZ3kD5WH
我心頭微震，轉身正要快步離開，卻為時已晚。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6sVPPHPSy
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0GGgAkVC3
「誰？」冷冷的聲音自背後響起，周圍的溫度似乎都隨之下降了不少。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZR5nqXYds
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA21aUUSzd
我咬了咬嘴唇，只好回身，躬身行禮：「奴婢玲珂，見過太子殿下。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ln4LPMaof
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSUvMx9aL2
此人便是當今太子，慕容索。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2bJhNV9oO
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtKUkdlZ9K
慕容索斜眼看著我。「妳是哪個宮的？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHN1pdxDvs
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pfdFKbor0
「回殿下，奴婢服侍的是洛雲宮。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUPjNWFiZ
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKbwhVe8pm
「阿瑤？」他微微偏頭，用那銀灰色的眼眸盯著我，似乎在思考什麼。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q89rMDRml
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHFCYyUSQp
機不可失，我打算趁這機會溜走。「若太子殿下無事吩咐，奴婢這就先退下……」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Tr5Egn8g
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREJtZU49NQ
「慢著。」慕容索叫住我。「妳就是前幾天在宴席上，代替阿瑤賦詩的那個婢女？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyIouuVt5T
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnZkePab8n
幾天前，皇上心血來潮，在御花園舉辦了一場宴席，目的是為了考察皇子和公主們的才學。當時全洛雲宮上下都急得團團轉，因為洛雲宮的主人——三公主慕容瑤，是最受皇上寵愛的女兒，可她偏偏只愛到處玩耍，不愛詩詞文章。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFM0lK2iwL
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpe95zWaiw
宴席當天，三公主坐在案前，對著案上那張白紙發呆，身後皆是等著她鬧笑話的兄弟姊妹。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtm15CHrVW
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWV0k63RrV
若她出醜，不只自己顏面掃地，連帶整個洛雲宮的體面都要被踩進泥裡。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg5Y7cbxLS
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ4ViAvUPx
眼看情勢危急，我作為三公主的貼身侍女，靈機一動，當下隨口吟出一首詩。雖說不是什麼驚世之作，但也緩解了宴席尷尬的氣氛，皇上甚至還讚賞了三公主一番，說她教導婢女有方。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSHYK9Haq8
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQTDjHSLOn
宴席結束後，三公主高興地賞給我不少金銀首飾，感謝我替她解危。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrVKj5LOBs
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhQFIdD8ti
本以為事情已經過去，沒想到卻還有人記得我的身影。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4JIgvnPoO
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXmXvt3u9V
「正是奴婢。」在一位太子面前，我沒有打算隱瞞。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0B6BDurfk
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW2AK3cdLn
「難怪。」慕容索挑了挑眉。「當時本宮很是懷疑，那個成天只知玩鬧的傻妹妹，怎麼可能寫出那種蘊含典故的詩。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLeZiAqvlv
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTMWYlcge2
「殿下過獎，奴婢只是隨口一吟罷了。」我謹慎的答道，故意忽略他對三公主的譏諷。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzip7pTb3u4
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU9Z2S2z2V
他輕輕頷首，又問道：「妳一個婢女，怎麼會學過詩文？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJDqeJLWYl
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewRvVUSQgR
「奴婢自小受先父指導，所以略懂文墨之事。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe1WFYeGZ9
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtQwNxPGHX
「原來如此。」慕容索望著我，語氣饒有興致。「那妳能否以這片梅林為題，賦詩一首？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHQ4fY1ouK
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVV4Df5Bbj
我微微一愣，正要推辭，卻察覺到他的眼中隱隱帶有挑釁的意味。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHEDmxsFKV
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzusXlY8yM
被他這樣一看，我的好勝心瞬間被激起。「沒問題，只是要請殿下等些時刻。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9sZjFfysh
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFI23hICSP
他點點頭，嘴角浮現一絲滿意的微笑，然後退到旁邊，靠著一株梅樹閉眼休息，不打擾我思考。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9gtbvUgNT
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3R2Y2BJy8
一陣冷風吹來，我拉緊衣袍，抬頭看向滿天雪白，詩句在心中悄然成形：38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW9YERmGou
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOqdJALPtp
「春到梅無傲，38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFoPmuubZm
東風吹料峭。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS8iaEoKe5
本應啼不絕，38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe5B4JSdTG
薄寒靜枝鳥。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6F60fqzT
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4C6cYGdBn
慕容索睜開眼，銀灰色的眼眸凝視著我。「不錯，很有意境。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWw7o7uIY4
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvqpf3kKvd
我微一欠身。「多謝殿下抬愛。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTmnQq4KnL
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPGjQ2yafn
「本應啼不絕……」他喃喃自語，似在咀嚼詩中之意。「妳很重視這片梅林吧？連鳥兒的啼聲都會去注意到。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW7uzC0Ur0
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cKa7eL7df
「是，奴婢自小便喜梅。」我說。「有一年奴婢生辰，先父買下了這片梅林，作為奴婢的生辰禮物。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJtsTITRg0
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MTybVUjfx
「這片梅林……原本是妳的？」慕容索眉睫一動，眼底閃過一絲寒芒。「那為何會落入皇家之手？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYYNfpkgDW
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqpDzyFp4X
我伸出手指，輕輕撫摸這熟悉的枝幹。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYamzEY2JQ
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfmdfMnoTn
「如果奴婢沒記錯……」我低聲說。「皇后娘娘，也就是殿下您的母親，素來喜歡梅花，對吧？」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumFwufPBpG
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf6szzBdsX
他沒回話，只是定定地看著我。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFZBhzkDyT
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjNTUmwVol
「曾經，奴婢生活在一個富裕的家庭。」我的語氣苦澀，將那段壓抑已久的記憶娓娓道來。「但有一天，一群禁衛軍闖入奴婢的家中，說那片梅林被皇上選中了，要賜給皇后娘娘。他們還硬是塞來錢財，非要奴婢的父母賣出那片梅林。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmsekWofV8
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1g8CT9AZM
那時奴婢年幼，在一旁哭鬧不已。奴婢的父母也不願意，結果那些禁衛軍……說奴婢的父母違抗聖旨，把他們都帶走了。而奴婢也被抓到這裡，從一個千金小姐，變成宮裡的下人。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPgwK9oX0a
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8WLI2Lg1N
慕容索聞言，眉頭蹙起，瞳孔微微一縮。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1KCfWFByD
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCrPOVgwCT
「那一年……是哪一年？」他低聲問。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCWfBQ4wwC
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmymIRaGKvm
「嘉寧六年的冬月。」我脫口而出。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxWtlSFTAf
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJdGKX9Vbu
他沉默了片刻，似在腦中翻找早已遺忘的記憶。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi02IAYdrp7
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBOmEGd5yZ
「嘉寧六年……那時我八歲，而母后確實在那年冬天搬入了梅華宮。」他喃喃地說。「但我從沒想過……」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyddxck0jY
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53YlrMPt4Z
我低著頭，默然不語。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAevlZvjI1b
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwp2HzkSRp
「妳的父母……後來如何？」他問。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSelt0khvT
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1DxU6yLHN
我搖搖頭。「奴婢不知。從那天起，奴婢便再沒見過他們。奴婢曾偷偷詢問過幾位老宮人，但沒人肯說。她們只是叫奴婢乖乖做事，別惹麻煩。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidcA93hLFb
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOmYx9ktMc
說到這裡，我突然有些後悔——或許我不該將這些話說出口。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj3aLCtcLk
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfWHwLurnO
這裡畢竟是皇宮，話題若是牽扯到皇室，只要稍有不慎言語，便將是殺頭大罪。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPKnR5ojAi
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXWdKqfzGb
我偷偷看向慕容索，卻發現他正注視著我的臉，眼裡絲毫沒有譴責的意思。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c5ZzWlwqR
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiEukaGCOm
「所以，這梅林對妳而言，不只有喜愛，」他開口。「還有……仇恨。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQpEiruT4b
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFRiKKtU6E
我輕輕點頭。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwwCjEoKJK
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hPJRVfyH
他沉默良久，轉身背對著我，語氣低沉：「這件事……本宮會查清。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqfUAVBGBg
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeydbDoD7r
我愣了愣，不敢相信自己所聽見的話。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaK8C2fAps
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQZWgMaHkC
「妳能說得如此清楚，代表當年的事是真有不妥。」他回眸看我，眼中那抹銀灰不再冷漠，而是閃著一種堅定。「如此荒謬之事，本宮絕不會坐視不理——若本宮日後登基，必還妳一個公道。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePxC9ENer
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGXKywl32j
我瞪大了眼，幾乎不能呼吸，趕緊低頭深深一拜：「奴婢……多謝殿下。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwNNGVqDsb
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxlxlb56KZ
他點了點頭。「很好。那妳就記著，這是本宮與妳的約定。」38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fhxylTNyI
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPoRgWWaPh
我再次行禮，將這句諾言深深銘記於心。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvRFhxPow6
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4HAMUh5Qy
我目送慕容索的背影在梅瓣中漸行漸遠。陽光不知何時突然出現，照得梅林裡一片光明——就像我現在的心。38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS90BoJcda
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVet8chhX9l
梅花不再受到春寒料峭的干擾，得以繼續綻放它的傲骨；林中的鳥兒不再受薄寒所制，終於得到了啼叫的機會。
