Chapter Eighty-Eight: Thoughts

There is no way to talk about recognizing each other, so Qi Qi thought that it would be good to understand the daily life of this Chaoyang princess, "I don't know what the princess usually does?"

Princess Chaoyang put a white chess piece into the chess game, "I rarely go out, and I will do some childish things for women, and the son doesn't know it." โ€

Qi Qi asked, "I heard the two girls say just now that the princess is engaged to the eldest son of King Xuan of that day?"

Speaking of the eldest son of King Tianxuan, Princess Chaoyang's cheeks flushed, and the water waves in her beautiful eyes seemed to ripple. She gives people the feeling of being elegant and quiet, calm, as if she can do anything without being shocked, but she didn't expect that mentioning the eldest son of King Tianxuan would make her so out of shape.

She smiled slightly, "That was a month ago. โ€

The two palace maids also showed envious eyes, as if the eldest son of King Tianxuan was a good man.

Qi Qi felt a little apprehensive in his heart, "Has the princess known the eldest son of King Tianxuan for a long time?

The two palace maids said angrily, "You are too shameless, and you don't look at your own identity, who is the princess?

Princess Chaoyang waved her hand and said, "Ah Zi Ah Hong, don't be rude." โ€

"Yes, Princess. The two palace maids bowed down.

Princess Chaoyang smiled, "King Tianxuan's name is Tang Taining, and his name who is engaged to me is Tang Taifan." King Tianxuan's family has always had a lot of dealings with our imperial relatives, and I have known him for a long time, but it was only half a year ago that I had a lifelong relationship. He was very elegant, very gentle, a humble gentleman, like a breeze in the mountains. He is also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and full of economy. He's a very nice guy. Thinking about it, he said that he liked me very early, but at that time I was more out of character and didn't pay attention to him. But fortunately, now I finally live up to his infatuation. It's funny to say, when I see him, I am so ashamed, when I don't see him, I miss him very much, and I wish he would put down what he was doing and come to the palace to find me. But I know that this is selfish, it shouldn't be, as the son of King Tianxuan, he has to share the affairs of a huge province for the prince, and he is very busy, if I always force him because of myself. I was happy that he came, but it undoubtedly added to his burden. โ€

The more he listened to Princess Chaoyang sweetly explain her affair with Tang Taifan, the more annoyed Qi Qi felt in his heart, and finally seemed to be about to gush out of his throat. Yes, Qiqi is such a gentle and considerate girl, he already knew at that time, even if she lost her memory, or became what she is because of something else, her understanding has not changed. It's a pity that this thoughtfulness doesn't belong to him, it belongs to a strange man. The eldest son of the King of Tianxuan, whom he despised.

Princess Chaoyang has always been known for her demure in the palace, but now that she has opened a word about the matter between her and Tang Taifan, she seems to be a little unbearable, Qi Qi did not continue to ask, she still said, "He is really a very good person, in the past six months of dating, he has never forced me to do anything, nor has he touched my body at will, saying that he wants to wait until he really becomes a husband and wife." I often played chess with him in the courtyard, and his chess skills were much better than mine, but he always let me, seeing that he was going to win, but I won at the end of every time. Playing poetry solitaire with me always lets me. Hehe, there are so many that I can't even remember them. In short, he is a very good man who deserves my trust for the rest of my life. When I think about it, I wonder why I didn't accept his heart early on, and let such a good person suffer from unrequited love for so long. But he always said that he didn't blame me, feelings have always been about fate, I don't like him, it's fate that hasn't arrived, just like now that I like him, it's fate. I think it's fate, I met him half a year ago as before, and I didn't feel anything about him at that time, but suddenly an inexplicable familiarity surged in my heart, and I couldn't stop sticking to him like fate. At that moment, I knew that I was tempted..."

Princess Chaoyang said this, her eyes stayed on the chessboard, but her mind had already flown to Tianxuan Province, the so-called Sichun woman, nothing more than this. It's just that she didn't notice that later, the man in white opposite her was secretly crying. The two palace maids also didn't dare to disturb her because she said that she should not be rude, and when she saw her so emotional.

So she continued, and the man in white continued to cry.

It's like she's wielding a double-edged sword, and the blade in front of her dances beautifully, but she doesn't notice that the blade behind her has been hurting someone.

Finally, Qi Qi said, "Princess, I'm sorry, I'll leave first" and left the table.

Seeing this, Princess Chaoyang smiled faintly. Finally left, holding the lost sword of the palace and a secret book of its own law, I wanted to climb up the palace, although the palace has a good temper, but it is not a fool. I never thought that I would look well-dressed, but I had such ill intentions in my heart, and sure enough, people's hearts were complicated.

Another corner of the Imperial Garden. It is full of purple and red flowers.

The emperor pointed to a nearby peony flower and said with a smile, "Miss Shangguan, right now in April, this peony flower is in full bloom, and it is very gorgeous, you see." โ€

Shangguan Deyin was absent-minded, and he didn't know if he heard the emperor's words, but his eyes were fixed on the floor under his feet and he didn't respond.

The emperor knew that she was probably like this because of Qi Qi and Chaoyang's affairs, and said with a smile, "Shangguan girl?"

Miss Shangguan still did not answer.

The emperor smiled wryly and reached out to pat Shangguan Deyin's shoulder.

Shangguan Deyin was excited, looking left and right, his eyes were flustered, he straightened his appearance for a moment, squeezed out a smile and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

The emperor smiled, "Are you worried about Qi Qi Shaoxia and Chaoyang? They have met each other in the past, and they want to have a good chat, so you can walk around this imperial garden with me, and when they are done talking, if there is anything you want to ask, it is not too late to ask. โ€

The emperor's words seem to be negotiating, but in fact, he has pushed Shangguan Deyin into an embarrassing position, if he doesn't promise the emperor to visit the imperial garden, then even if the emperor doesn't say anything, she is so dismissive of the emperor's will, it is naturally inappropriate.

So she said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty." โ€

He looked at the peony along the emperor's position, nodded and said, "This peony flower is indeed blooming well, beautiful and dazzling, the person who wants to manage this flower garden has put a lot of thought into it, and is also very good at planting flowers, I guess it should be a person who is quite leisurely and elegant." โ€

The emperor smiled, "Then Miss Shangguan guess who is taking care of this flower garden?"

Shangguan Deyin shook his head and said, "I don't know anyone in this palace, how can I guess it?"

The emperor smiled, "Then don't you treat me and Chaoyang as human beings? โ€

Shangguan Deyin smiled, "I don't dare, it's just that I naturally won't want to ask the question." โ€

The emperor said, "I won't sell it with Miss Shangguan, this flower garden is what I ordered, hehe." โ€

"Really?" Shangguan Deyin asked, "That's not so unusual. โ€

"Oh?" said the Emperor, "why is it not unusual?"

Shangguan Deyin said, "The emperor is an elegant person, and it is easy to take care of such a rich flower garden. It's not that the flowers are bad, and the skills of the people who plant them are not good, but on the contrary, they are too good, and they are a recognition of the emperor. โ€

The emperor smiled, "Hehe, then I thank Miss Shangguan for her compliment." โ€

Shangguan Deyin said, "The emperor is serious. โ€

The emperor asked, "If the Shangguan girl still likes this flower garden, I can arrange for the girl to stay in the palace for a long time, so that she can see this imperial garden as much as she wants." โ€

Shangguan Deyin shook his head and said, "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the people are reluctant to give up those in the sect... The same brother is used to living there, so he still can't do it. โ€

The emperor smiled, "It seems that Miss Shangguan has a deep affection for the sect." โ€

At this time, Qi Qi also came here. The two looked at him and asked, "How was your chat with Chaoyang?"

Qi Qi suppressed the sourness in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said, "Princess Chaoyang is knowledgeable, gentle and intellectual, and it is very pleasant to chat with her, but I thought that the princess could not spend all her time with me, so I left." โ€

The emperor smiled, "Hehe, that girl in Chaoyang is also wasted on weekdays, her time is not expensive, even if the young man chats with her, there is no need to think so much." โ€

Qi Qi smiled.

Shangguan Deyin had sharp eyes, and saw the sadness in the eyes of his junior brother, so he didn't say much, thinking that it would not be too late to ask after leaving the imperial garden and the two of them were alone. But... Then Princess Chaoyang, what is the past with her junior brother? can make her junior brother like this? Could it be...

The three of them continued to stroll, and after two or three quarters of an hour, the emperor said, "The two of you have been walking with me for so long, and you must be tired, so I will send someone to send you back to Jiale Yuan, and I will order someone to send the popular spring refreshments to the courtyard for the two of you to taste, and chat as a condolence, hehe." โ€

Qi Qi and Shangguan Deyin said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." โ€

Seeing Qi Qi and Shangguan Deyin leave the imperial garden under the guidance of their subordinates, a eunuch beside the emperor asked, "Your Majesty, why did you say that you ordered this flower garden?

The emperor scolded with a smile, "You eunuch, what do you know?!"

The eunuch laughed and said, "Hehe, yes." โ€

Soon after Qi Qi and Shangguan Deyin returned to Jiale Yuan, someone from the palace brought pastries.

And when Qi Qi saw the pastries on the plate, he was stunned.

Shangguan Deyin asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

There were several pastries on that plate, one of which was as fluffy as a snowflake, Qi Qi remembered this pastry, because in the mountains and forests, the girl named Qiqi also handed him such a piece of snowflake pastry that she made herself.

Seeing things and thinking about people, in an instant, every bit of it surged back, making him a little untenable.

Shangguan Deyin hurriedly took a hand, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Qi came back to his senses and said, "No, it's okay." โ€

Seeing this, he showed a wry smile, thought about it, and decided to tell the senior sister all the things in the past, after all, there seems to be no need to hide it.

So, he told the story of his master's descent from the mountain, his own experience, his reunion with Qiqi, and what happened later, almost covering his life.

After Shangguan Deyin listened, his eyes were complicated, he covered his mouth and nose, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, she asked, "What about you, junior brother?"

Qi Qi thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm also in turmoil right now." โ€

Seeing his junior brother like this, Shangguan Deyin felt sour in his heart, sat down beside him, hugged him slightly, and said softly, "It's okay, junior brother, if you can't figure it out, you don't want to, with senior sister here, everything will be fine, and it will pass, okay?"

"Well," Qi Qi nodded, glanced at Senior Sister gratefully, grabbed Senior Sister's hand on him with one hand, thought for a while, and said, "I'm sure she's Qiqi, but now she can't remember anything, I don't know if she really has amnesia, or pretending to be like this, if so, what happened? I buried her with my own hands, how did she end up in the palace?"

Shangguan Deyin asked, "Senior brother, have you ever been to her cemetery later?"

Qi Qi shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but I don't have to look at it now, I don't believe that there are two people in the world who are not twins but are exactly the same, and have both the Ju Dove Sword and the Xiang Bird Step, so she must be Qi Qi." โ€

Shangguan Deyin asked, "Then junior brother, how are you... Intended?"

Qi Qi thought for a while and said, "It must be false to say that she doesn't regret it in her heart, but now that she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty and has a marriage contract, I don't seem to be qualified to hold on to some of the past that she may not even remember, and ask her to do something." I decided, just let it be. I've already asked all the questions I want to ask, and although I still can't piece together the whole picture, that's all I can do, and I don't know what happened to her. โ€

Shangguan Deyin hesitated for a moment and said, "But that day King Xuan was not a good person, if he had a father, he would have a son, and Tang Taifan being with her might not be a good thing for her." โ€

Qi Qi nodded and said, "I also thought about this, now that I have informed the emperor of the famine in Tianxuan Province, I think the emperor will have a decision about this, after he learns the true nature of King Tianxuan, he will definitely not let Qiqi and Tang Taifan be together." How to deal with it, although I want to manage, obviously I can't control it. Moreover, listening to her, it seems that Tang Taifan's temperament is not bad, but he doesn't know whether it's true or not, after all, people's appearance can be disguised. โ€

After hearing this, Shangguan Deyin didn't say anything, just hugged his junior brother tighter, and said softly, "It's okay, junior brother, after these two days, senior sister will take you back to the sect, and the injury on your eye, senior sister will do her best to help you heal." โ€

Qi Qi nodded and said, "Well, thank you, senior sister." โ€
