「這初春的風可真冷啊。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipknmVpQEB
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcseBbsY0HW
我把衣袍拉得更緊些，但仍阻擋不住透心的寒意。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRApVTFICFp
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarOTPT9l7H
不過我並未討厭寒冷——畢竟越冷，梅花才能開得越盛。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4UaD1YnM5
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvYPu1Bgbm
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMpR1FpHEW
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qGq6s8WRj
我漫步在林中，享受難得的悠閒。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MRrfz1JW7
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzhPBPoiU3
忽見前方人影閃動，我警覺的停下腳步，抬眼望去。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QxyoKm7J3
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIlv5xaAmO
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIMSKhMrJe
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWwemTovcG
我心頭微震，轉身正要快步離開，卻為時已晚。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ368jJq9RDF
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYFc36HM8L
「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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZKqbNaRXw
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNICy0xZRel
我咬了咬嘴唇，只好回身，躬身行禮：「奴婢玲珂，見過太子殿下。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqY20Bxv3v
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHYddmO7bF
此人便是當今太子，慕容索。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ28idT3sps
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8zySF1c50
慕容索斜眼看著我。「妳是哪個宮的？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGexmkfBMWJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmJXMMzNcJ
「回殿下，奴婢服侍的是洛雲宮。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbeSkrsf8e
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKA8o3Wz4B
「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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ3PtQhNrR
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH70lwLxym
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……」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlkg6gkdPu
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehZM9PeN21
「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？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyiVKVevxD
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu0RUQ1fEk
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8alG4dZiN
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvzJsX3EMm
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfiXrHnK8y
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPJDB1WVMG
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRyYBvRc6E
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2VBHceBVG
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LHPAZm78z
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPDK34EQ41
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YrMDySAxX
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1In0lOqUA6
本以為事情已經過去，沒想到卻還有人記得我的身影。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1qoncM0MH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiCIspzWT3
「正是奴婢。」在一位太子面前，我沒有打算隱瞞。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OlkImCaTA
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXiM3CNoSA
「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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6sCTpv3e1
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5AvMcKKyB
「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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ErRRXkAy
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81rPhr5fIk
他輕輕頷首，又問道：「妳一個婢女，怎麼會學過詩文？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5TCmZEpFO
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM5IsOWsTp
「奴婢自小受先父指導，所以略懂文墨之事。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsdmCaLQMz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKqwzwfNnn
「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？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16hxg2j8Ju
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmGAJaGI49
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8QOX2tHne
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINTns9Iv0i
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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOdXMGnsuH
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNt86W0SWO
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiPBCpiBrj
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvRVQiDsfr
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：34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTnDDyIPTZ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXOKzseCEY
「春到梅無傲，34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZrqhE8YG
東風吹料峭。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb63decZwk
本應啼不絕，34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05bQaYJIvB
薄寒靜枝鳥。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1G6s67B8T
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeia6jE3HBQ
慕容索睜開眼，銀灰色的眼眸凝視著我。「不錯，很有意境。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSSUC6Lpzm
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O7pJaiOHd
我微一欠身。「多謝殿下抬愛。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHEp6kKo96
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcgiztsk0j
「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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeCHXQDQ5i
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA0KwueFU7
「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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy5Gq7ftZz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GweICmWTo
「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？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWzpBB9DW2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmxTS7Arct
我伸出手指，輕輕撫摸這熟悉的枝幹。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbqx5s2fce
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX3lIEjz52
「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？」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EjzNajDTK
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FSWKGYAmJ
他沒回話，只是定定地看著我。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GX71rlQNu
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP2Hpkyi5Q
「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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqByAIO0zw
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KgBPgOm4L
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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpOMyEWkA6
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs7IkWT0Ih
慕容索聞言，眉頭蹙起，瞳孔微微一縮。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCutP8wsJIa
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx58ivLYNei
「那一年……是哪一年？」他低聲問。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszhWQ9fZap
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxLKfjRxDq
「嘉寧六年的冬月。」我脫口而出。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH3YJ3zGiP
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkZVSZU6A2
他沉默了片刻，似在腦中翻找早已遺忘的記憶。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuIcc0iejD
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf1YPBlMKU
「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……」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtM0OnhwCh
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG6wIQUiii
我低著頭，默然不語。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanVLP7AVAL
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6uuhtGmtI
「妳的父母……後來如何？」他問。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhraT2D7Ya5
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3gIepsPWm
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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nDXpdgkUk
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYAhUi4zK
說到這裡，我突然有些後悔——或許我不該將這些話說出口。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy50ecKcmZ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ96ZLs0Fd
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtcGEypeU7
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHTPEPqzgq
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWsvJifIpm
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGTIg8om2s
「所以，這梅林對妳而言，不只有喜愛，」他開口。「還有……仇恨。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYa93w0G0Y
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR0KRwkYud
我輕輕點頭。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9bSc5KBIP
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9tnP7SYe
他沉默良久，轉身背對著我，語氣低沉：「這件事……本宮會查清。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUQzIwaHiY
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6izEcKi32
我愣了愣，不敢相信自己所聽見的話。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGF7BsnMJ8
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoU6jRS4vq
「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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GN8IPCMV1
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ8uxSZ5k1
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。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK9v6yefdJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gcczwgit8
他點了點頭。「很好。那妳就記著，這是本宮與妳的約定。」34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqb3aAamFl
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEqY9CRKD6
我再次行禮，將這句諾言深深銘記於心。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmkzLuWhHK
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6n1QyZKDk
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。34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHRfy68K8h
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuKdQLqQlK
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。
