It was already the second day after I returned to the wang fu. I was physically and mentally tired, but I was especially happy to see that girl Li Shang again, especially when she asked me about the palace with a curious expression.
"Look at you, it would be better to send you to the palace in the future.”I joked, but I was still afraid. Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. I think everyone understands this. The emperor's heart is unpredictable.
The excitement and joy had to pass. Next was the triennial talent show and Xuan Qi's wedding.
I sat quietly in front of the windowsill, looking at the trees outside the window. Yes, spring is coming. Putting on clothes and walking out, it was good to take a look at the scenery.
I ordered Li Shang to bring my lute. I thought that it would be very pleasant to play a lute when the blue lake rippled, the breeze caressed, and the mahogany wooden fence was carved. I simply leaned against the mahogany by the lake. Spring has come back in a hurry." Humming this song of regretting spring was not appropriate, nor was it a feeling of missing the monarch and serving the country. It was just that he was simply thinking of the long-locked Ah Jiao and felt a little sad. When the breeze blew, he realized that he had secretly shed tears.
"Since that's the case, why do you have to be like that?”I was awakened by a voice. When I came back to my senses, Li Shang had already disappeared. I put down the pipa and was about to bow when the man quickly helped me up. At that moment, I was almost at a loss, puzzled, and surprised. It was something that was indescribable for any emotion. That familiar fragrance, the tall figure that appeared in my daze, the figure that guarded my bed and wiped my sweat. I looked at him in disbelief, at the man I once thought was the coldest.
Xuan He seemed to have noticed my abnormality, but he was trying his best to hide it. I only quietly avoided it, treating it as a secret that I had accidentally discovered.
"What is it? "I deliberately turned my face away to look at the lake in the distance because I didn't want to talk about that topic.
"Why are you so impatient?" I was a little surprised.
"He's waiting for you to stand up for him, waiting for you to appear in front of father openly. Do you really think he doesn't want to marry into the Wanqi family?”He suddenly turned my face forcefully to make me look at him.
We didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he lowered his hand and turned around." I won't let you enter the palace."”
I suddenly found it funny. The scene at Jingren Palace a few days ago was still vivid in my mind. I sneered," Is that so, brother-in-law?"”I didn't know where my anger came from. At this moment, I just wanted to loudly express my anger. This man, this detestable man, just how did he want to control my life?
" You know, my grandfather, Prince Murta, has always been the emperor's reliance. At the same time, he is also the emperor's biggest worry. Do you want me to enter the palace to be a Shuyi or a consort, or..." I paused and walked in front of Xuan He, looking at him mockingly." Or are you afraid that this powerful chess piece will not be under your control after I enter the palace, but will become a bargaining chip used by your father to deal with you?"”I deliberately dragged out my voice. My heart was in pain. At this moment, all the true feelings and fake feelings were no longer important. What was important was how I could not become an accessory to this bloody battle. I was afraid.
"Take good care of yourself.”This was his answer after I made a passionate speech. I couldn't see any pretense on his face at all. I began to doubt my own judgment, or was everything wrong?
Last night the rain was sparse and the wind blew suddenly,
in deep slumber I won't let the wine remain.
Ask the curtain-roller,
But I still say the begonia is still the same.
Do you know? Do you know?
It should be green, fat, red, thin.
The night was like a thick inkstone, so deep that it couldn't melt…At the beginning of the night, people were already asleep. In the silence, the silver moonlight shone on the ground, and the mournful cries of crickets could be heard everywhere. The fragrance of the night filled the air, weaving into a soft net that covered all the scenery. Everything that his eyes came into contact with was covered by this soft net. Even the grass and trees were not as realistic as they were in the daytime. They all had blurry and illusory colors. Each of them hid its details and kept its secrets, making people feel like they were in a dream.
I buried myself in this darkness, but my thoughts still couldn't be resolved. There was no other choice but to return to my room. Suddenly, I remembered the suet fat jade hairpin from before. I gently opened the layers of packages and looked at the hairpin that was covered in cracks. I recalled Xuan Qi's expression that day, and all my doubts still couldn't be resolved. Unknowingly, I gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning. When Li Shang entered the room, she jumped and then took out a piece of paper from her bosom. I jumped when I saw it. This was Xuan Qi's handwriting, but when I looked at it carefully, it wasn't.
"Who sent it?" I already had the answer in my heart, but I still asked Li Shang worriedly," It's from the young prince's residence."”Li Shang saw that my expression was not right and said worriedly.
Ha, it came so quickly. This kid is just afraid that the world doesn't know about our ambiguous relationship, but he didn't guess his old master's heart. Haha, interesting.
I forcefully crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the incense burner at the side. The faint black smoke filled the entire room with an unpleasant smell.
She got up and patted herself." Lishang, help me wash up. Let's go watch a show today."”
