A gust of cold wind blew past the hundred-year-old cherry blossom tree. Occasionally, many large pink petals fell. She had already fallen in love with the scene of cherry blossoms falling. She had to admit that the scene was really beautiful. It was as if she and he were the only ones left in the world. She fell in love with cherry blossoms because of him.
In the beautiful jade flute, she tiptoed over and sat on the marble behind him. She supported her small head and watched his elegant figure as he played the song " Four Seasons in the Moon Pond." She liked to listen to the song he played, not only because it was nice, but because her heart was completely occupied by him.
Dressed in white, he stopped and put away the jade flute. He turned around and smiled at her. She pursed her lips to show that she was unhappy that he had discovered her so quickly. It turned out that he already knew that she was behind him.
The cherry blossoms fell intermittently, landing on her hair and at their feet. She did not know that there was a petal on her hair, but in his eyes, she was like a cherry blossom petal that deeply reflected in his heart.
He walked over and got closer to her. This action made her think that he was going to kiss her, so she closed her eyes in fear and nervousness. She even opened her eyes a little to look at him, but he reached out and gently took the pink petals from her hair. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in the ground. She was embarrassed because she had thought wrongly, and because he did not do what she wanted, she was disappointed.
He laughed and caressed her soft hair lovingly. She was flattered like a child.
"Luoyang, what do you wish for the most?”Under the cherry blossom tree, she asked him. She took the jade flute from his hand and played with it. Because it belonged to him, his name was engraved on it. She was thinking how good it would be if one day her name was also engraved next to his!
She also imitated him and played the flute, quietly waiting for his answer. However, she was born a fool and could not play half a tune. In fact, she did not dare to let him know that the reason why she wanted to imitate him to play the flute was because the flute was stained with his breath. She liked it, so she only dared to approach him in this way.
After a long time, he looked at her. She listened to his hope with joy, but he said,
"My hope is that you can return to being a human!”
His voice was so calm and indifferent. She thought that he didn't want her anymore, so he asked her to reincarnate. She looked at him blankly and didn't say anything. After a long time, she turned around and walked into the house without saying anything.
He looked at her back and sighed for a long time. He said, Shui Yang, as long as you return to being a human, then I can be with you without worry. Even if I have to endure the reincarnation of the world, birth, old age, illness, and death, I am willing to accompany you and wait for you. But now, you still don't understand. When a god and a ghost combine, one of them will disappear forever. I am afraid that that person will be you. Then what should I do? I'm also afraid that that person will be me!
Perhaps she missed him too much, or perhaps it was because of her Inner Core, but Hong Lian seemed to see the two of them from a thousand years ago sitting under the cherry blossom tree. He played the flute, and she sat beside him and listened quietly. His words and laughter seemed to have appeared in her mind yesterday.
The song " Four Seasons in the Moon Pond " started to play, and it suddenly floated into her ears, causing Hong Lian to wake up. She was now a hundred times more energetic than before. Was she hallucinating again? Like last time? However, why did it sound so real in her ears? Shi Xiangke and the others didn't seem to hear it at all. It seemed like they were hallucinating!
All of a sudden, a fresh and light fragrance assaulted her nose, making Hong Lian push away Xiao Yue who was holding her. Xiao Yue looked at her with surprise and confusion. Hong Lian didn't explain much and walked forward. Shi Xiangke pulled her back and asked,"Where are you going with your body?"
Hong Lian didn't pay attention to him. She got rid of Shi Xiangke's hand and walked forward. The lotus bloomed. Her lotus bloomed again. Smelling that smell, she knew that it was only the pond in the courtyard that was blooming. Why did her flowers bloom again? He was there! He must be there. Those lotuses were telling her that someone was waiting for her there. She was not hallucinating. That was his song. It was definitely not a hallucination. She was going to find him!
"You guys go back first! I want to go somewhere to confirm it!" Red Lotus thought for a moment. There was absolutely no need to drag the two of them into this.
"Hey! Red Lotus, where are you going? We'll go with you!" Xiaoyue hurried to stop her. Red Lotus looked at Xiaoyue and saw Shi Xiangke's expression of agreement.
Hong Lian smiled and shook her head." You guys can go back. Don't worry about me. I can still hold on with my magic power."”
Seeing that Xiaoyue still wanted to say something, Red Lotus said before she could,""It's alright!"
Seeing that Hong Lian seemed to be in a hurry, Shi Xiangyu pulled Xiaoyue and signaled her to stop talking and follow Hong Lian.
"Be careful!" Shi Xiangke said.
Hong Lian nodded and disappeared!
"Where is she going?" Xiao Yue asked worriedly.
Shi Xiangke didn't know either.”
"What are you looking for?"
"Looking for Red Lotus 'Inner Core!"
"I don't even know where it is? How? And how can we be sure that it's that cat demon!”
"You really have a lot of nonsense!" Shi Xiangke rolled her eyes at her, then went on her own way.
"Hey ~"
Ever since the last Flower Festival, Shi Fanzhi had not looked for her. Tang Yan sat on the table with her head propped up in boredom. The small round bronze mirror reflected her helpless expression, as if her entire face was about to collapse.
"Miss, the soup is here for you!" Yu Duo walked in with the soup and placed it on the table. She looked at Tang Yan and said.
"Oh!" Tang Yan replied lightly.
Yu Duo walked over and asked worriedly,""Biao Young Lady, is that uncomfortable?"
Tang Yan shook her head and sat up. She stretched her body and said,""It's nothing! You can leave first!"
Yu Duo pursed her lips and left. Tang Yan immediately stopped her." Um, Yu Duo, is cousin-in-law back?"”
Yu Duo shook her head, wondering why Tang Yan was asking about Young Madam.
"What about cousin?" Tang Yan nodded thoughtfully and continued asking.
"Young Master and Old Master are welcoming guests in the hall. It seems that people from the Imperial Palace have come to the residence.”Yu Duo answered honestly without missing a single word. She was also curious that although Old Master was once Marquis Xiang, Old Master was already a recluse and no longer cared about the matters of the imperial court. Why was there still someone from the Imperial Palace looking for Old Master?
"Someone from the palace? Who could it be?" Tang Yan wasn't as curious as Yu Duo, but Yu Duo didn't know. Tang Yan waved her hand to dismiss her.
In the hall.
Fu Xi sat there and chatted with a middle-aged eunuch in an official uniform. Fu Yang sat on the other side and looked at the eunuch holding a pole.
The servants all went forward to serve tea and left.
Fu Yang thought about where he had seen the eunuch from the palace before, but he could not remember.
Fu Yang was shocked and suddenly remembered. Wasn't that father-in-law the person who dressed up as a wealthy businessman on the night of the Flower Festival? And that girl? That day, he had called that lady 'Miss'. Then, wasn't that lady also from the Imperial Palace? Was it a concubine or Princess Wuyue?
"Eunuch Xu, I have already retired for several years. What else can I do to personally come to my residence to explain?”Fu Xi said.
Eunuch Xu took a sip of tea, put it down, and said with a smile,""Lord Marquis, you can't say that. We are also old friends, and it is only right for old friends to visit old friends. Besides, I've long wanted to see you, Lord Marquis. It's just that I couldn't find the time, so I put it off until now.”Eunuch Xu laughed to himself. Fu Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard that, but he laughed along with Eunuch Xu.
"Eunuch Xu, other than coming to visit an old friend like me, there should be something else you want to tell me, right?”Fu Xi asked. For a person like Eunuch Xu, who was the Emperor's favorite, there must be something that would make him come to his residence.
Eunuch Xu burst into laughter. He looked at Fu Xi and said bluntly,""I really couldn't escape Lord Marquis 'eyes. I really have something to tell Lord Marquis.”
"Oh? What could it be?" Fu Xi asked lightly, which also attracted Fu Yang's attention.
"Tomorrow is Princess Wu Yue's birthday. The Marquis should still remember Princess Wu Yue, right?”Eunuch Xu asked.
Fu Xi nodded, but Princess Wu Yue's birthday had nothing to do with them.
"The Emperor has already sent word that Lord Marquis must attend the Princess 'birthday tomorrow. Of course, that includes your son and his wife, Miss Su!”Eunuch Xu emphasized the words 'Miss Su' very clearly. He even glanced at Fu Yang who was sitting at the side.
Hearing this, Fu Xi and Fu Yang looked at Eunuch Xu in surprise.
Eunuch Xu said,"This is the Emperor's intention. I'm just here to pass on the message. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to bring you into the palace. Don't worry about this."”
" Eunuch Xu…" Fu Xi wanted to say something but was immediately interrupted by Eunuch Xu,""Lord Marquis, don't refuse! That was the Emperor's order!"
Fu Xi's expression was gloomy. He wanted to ask, it had been so many years, but there had been no matter in the palace that they were required to attend. Why was someone here to speak on the princess 'birthday?
After that, Eunuch Xu stayed in the manor for a while, leaving behind the gifts he had brought before leaving in a hurry.
"Father, why did the emperor ask us to attend?”Once Eunuch Xu left, Fu Yang immediately asked Fu Xi.
Fu Xi sighed and shook his head to show that he didn't know. "Is Su He back yet?" he asked with his hands behind his back.”
"Not yet." Fu Yang shook his head.”
"Did he say he would be back today?" Fu Xi asked again.
Fu Yang nodded again.
Fu Xi looked at the dark weather outside and said,""Go and fetch her back. It looks like it's going to rain.”
"I know that. Father, you don't have to worry!”
Fu Xi nodded and left the hall.
