「這初春的風可真冷啊。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4TvV9YdXu
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0SGxnMAFH
我把衣袍拉得更緊些，但仍阻擋不住透心的寒意。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN4dnyoI3t
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1cIh2YXs2
不過我並未討厭寒冷——畢竟越冷，梅花才能開得越盛。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF4m2qpYj9
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGPWuRreM8
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vseb4hEjl
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1CEXpR6tN
我漫步在林中，享受難得的悠閒。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPXZMSF2b
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbC6L0Jerk
忽見前方人影閃動，我警覺的停下腳步，抬眼望去。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgQxQ17X4f
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurvYbLMdAq
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY6BqPBt5E
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZDWRWDbUb
我心頭微震，轉身正要快步離開，卻為時已晚。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxyzzzsFPL
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8SZIuxPOH
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVxvbgIZNS
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy25YOYn4kQ
我咬了咬嘴唇，只好回身，躬身行禮：「奴婢玲珂，見過太子殿下。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWOXkiB9MT
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP7Gb6zJdm
此人便是當今太子，慕容索。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5mFGyVFx2
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJCoxdtgEJ
慕容索斜眼看著我。「妳是哪個宮的？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPzUz9bq7j
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFORB15vbl
「回殿下，奴婢服侍的是洛雲宮。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdSIBFMUN
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ54cNkh3Zr
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3y0TQnVlw
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoGQ8XQ14O
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……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2TPCWDuZZ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQkrG5Sb1V
「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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31kiQj7WNf
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9jN3N4K3Y
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfDQKXtGGx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLcWuqSedV
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MRvqp7NGJ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEV6wmDwXm
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc4jIVifoP
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcyXcbNPUg
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYdj9nYRSc
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3WY17aPTr
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8UoARCj91
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CXhmt2HZ7
本以為事情已經過去，沒想到卻還有人記得我的身影。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLLqdXHZZP
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5jJO4Ib8g
「正是奴婢。」在一位太子面前，我沒有打算隱瞞。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2toQIkazWN
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsETvZUSui
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSm4sQuZOb
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL4RWFGyLt
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKezEarGYKy
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEKFoSHDab
他輕輕頷首，又問道：「妳一個婢女，怎麼會學過詩文？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2i2RhmQod
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgIBrVnvOR
「奴婢自小受先父指導，所以略懂文墨之事。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqsBrnoa2A
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N7PQfZdnl
「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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmBrlV4yAW
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LXeYgCTeI
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoaEmrZSLJ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWtjOOYOwP
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSJT8CHK9M
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWukYgj34t
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg9kdOj4x0
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9OJQX4Y4u
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：51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBeHUotVXn
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOPG9rPkRo
「春到梅無傲，51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbRDwSbrBn
東風吹料峭。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L2hlw6Pq7
本應啼不絕，51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kr0aKBJSK
薄寒靜枝鳥。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4fOQn8yeK
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFGLiwdk3t
慕容索睜開眼，銀灰色的眼眸凝視著我。「不錯，很有意境。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ExCSOCfF3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguVcL2zkxU
我微一欠身。「多謝殿下抬愛。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdHqgQiijA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvfXccsi5F
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUGO3HCeVP
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPZBGWl3AL
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOi4Ejk72E
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtwpHKmNK8
「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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGh5nPgqAU
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAU5jVHiaZ
我伸出手指，輕輕撫摸這熟悉的枝幹。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyhS55NUEn
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYM3n5iQlj
「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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8BhV4bC1y
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwjuky4cIq
他沒回話，只是定定地看著我。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFmRERsNAj
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y4nEQ509J
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RGEEA8Aks
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjWr6724Io
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEkKUB6gBt
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8td0rC8ZG
慕容索聞言，眉頭蹙起，瞳孔微微一縮。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBHHPfPkEi
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksjvGcDwUW
「那一年……是哪一年？」他低聲問。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgkqt4nmPe
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERixtbs0hG
「嘉寧六年的冬月。」我脫口而出。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQXz1zbY8E
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchmfPrdv2d
他沉默了片刻，似在腦中翻找早已遺忘的記憶。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdAeK1sytN
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOFo1pTpBL
「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……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqK4SvNH2
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr4etziisx
我低著頭，默然不語。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjcsGLMeWA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV3ADwbuw6
「妳的父母……後來如何？」他問。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cCNH2YHKe
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOss2IpJYR
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHyJePNnFb
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70aruNLosc
說到這裡，我突然有些後悔——或許我不該將這些話說出口。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9wTPnGBZO
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBszbruCzN
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCIB5lfKz
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBZWAFtMBz
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiSi7ZaRV3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoas4OTXu2
「所以，這梅林對妳而言，不只有喜愛，」他開口。「還有……仇恨。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnweKUjrmfo
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6r39652dF
我輕輕點頭。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhdKtsRmvR
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmPvErA9tX
他沉默良久，轉身背對著我，語氣低沉：「這件事……本宮會查清。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr7fVdORBD
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKdwznwtqG
我愣了愣，不敢相信自己所聽見的話。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf7pStAxkl
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREZOzKyHTf
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dxh6k5xTX
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEyeVHSghz
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3zUCMxGy0
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkaSJZwdLq
他點了點頭。「很好。那妳就記著，這是本宮與妳的約定。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m6x4jjCtx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunzZzw2sXy
我再次行禮，將這句諾言深深銘記於心。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeFGPJnx2c
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6uo3nHHaw
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBohmkb9Wpp
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N7mUqjLBS
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。
