Chapter 103: But the caged canary
The two looked at each other, but their hearts were flustered. And at this moment, the two people who should not have met should have met gathered under this moonlight. As for the end, whether it is fate or sin is determined only by the destiny of heaven and cannot be changed.
One of them wears a jade flute on his waist, his white clothes are fluttering out of the dust, and he is chic and handsome, and he is the young master of Wuji Palace. A person wrapped in yellow cedar, peerless, with the posture of a captivating city, the face of the world, and the princess of the dynasty.
Both of them are the dragon and phoenix among the people, although there is a moment of panic at this time, after a little calm, they both returned to normal.
"Leng Gongzi, fortunately. Zhu Keer smiled slightly, although this smile was an ordinary move, but this smile seemed to make the world lose its color, and the sun and the moon would be dull.
And the originally beautiful bright moon, as if unwilling to compete with it, quietly hid behind the clouds. The so-called sable cicada closes the moon, so it should be. Even if Leng Yuxuan's mind was firm, under this alluring smile, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Today is so moonlight, Her Royal Highness the princess is also a good Yaxing. Leng Yuxuan smiled slightly, with one hand behind him, and the other hand holding the flute, stopping under the city tower. The feeling of being dashing out of the dust made Zhu Keer's alluring face also have a hint of blush.
At this time, Zhu Ke'er stood on top of the city tower, and Leng Yuxuan stood under the city tower. As soon as the two of them went up and down, although they had a thousand words, they didn't know how to speak, and they were relatively speechless, so they felt a little embarrassed.
At this point, time seems to have stood still, but it seems as if a long time has passed. The two looked at each other, although they were flustered, but they couldn't bear to look away.
"Leng Gongzi. ”
"Your Highness the Princess. ”
"You speak first. ”
"You speak first. ”
"Poof. The two spoke at the same time but couldn't bear to interrupt each other, they wanted to let each other speak first, but what they didn't expect to usher in was another time with one voice. And the two of them sneered, but that trace of embarrassment completely disappeared.
"Today's daytime competition between Leng Gongzi can be described as wonderful. The wonderful swordsmanship is also a feast for Ke'er's eyes. This place is built by the father and the emperor for admiring the moon, and you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of Jinling and the bright moon when you climb the tower. There was a slight pause, but it was Zhu Ke'er who couldn't help but speak first. She didn't even notice herself, and unconsciously, she called herself Kerr.
"Above the city tower, there is the inner courtyard of the palace, and I am reckless, but it is inconvenient. Although the two have met during the day, meeting like this is also the first acquaintance. Moreover, if this inner city tower comes and goes at will, there will be a lot of disputes.
"The inner courtyard of this palace has made many famous and wealthy people rush to step in. How many ordinary people stop and are afraid of getting into trouble. I can't imagine that the young palace master of the dignified Wuji Palace is no different from ordinary people. Zhu Ke'er pursed her mouth, she naturally guessed what Leng Yuxuan was thinking. But having said that, at this time, there was a trace of loss in her heart.
"Haha, but I'm hypocritical. Leng Yuxuan smiled slightly when he heard this. With a tap of your toes, you get up. When the person is in the air, the right foot steps on the left foot, and with a slight force, he rises in the air. A few ups and downs have been standing on top of this tower.
At this time, Leng Yuxuan was dressed in white, with a graceful demeanor, approached slightly with a smile, and stood next to Zhu Keren. He looked up into the distance, and sure enough, above this city tower, Jinling was magnificent, the city was prosperous, and the scenery of Qinhuai could be said to be in full view. And this round of bright moon hangs in the sky, and the moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the world, but it is beautiful.
Leng Yuxuan raised his eyes to look, but at this time, he vaguely saw a beggar, curled up in a bridge hole, shivering in the night wind. In the restaurant not far away, there is a son of a family who is bullying men and women. On the banks of the Qinhuai River, how many rich officials lingered in Fengyue, and how many Hongchen women persuaded them to drink as companions. Although the scenery of Jinling is beautiful, but under the prosperous beauty of the city, it hides how many filthy things.
And Zhu Ke'er stood beside Leng Yuxuan at this time, looking at his angular side face. Now his face is blushing, but his heart is like a deer bumping, nervous and worried.
"Her Royal Highness Princess, standing here, watching the scenery and admiring the moon, is indeed extraordinary. The royal family is in a high position and power, and if you want to enjoy the moon, you will work hard to build a high-rise building, and you can enjoy it freely. But I don't know how many innocent people have been displaced and their families have been destroyed in the war on the border. And in this land of the Ming Dynasty, how many poor people are forced to make a living, hungry and cold. Leng Yuxuan looked at this so-called beautiful scenery, but there was a trace of disdain in his words.
"I... When Zhu Keer heard this, she wanted to refute it, but she didn't know how to say it. The royal family is greedy for pleasure, and this tower was built by Zhu Di for moon appreciation. But at this time, when his sweetheart said this, his eyes were slightly red, and his heart was uncomfortable.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, so she naturally doesn't know that this people are suffering. After Leng Yuxuan finished speaking, he felt a little unbearable in his heart. Seeing that Zhu Keer didn't speak, he turned his head away and stopped talking.
At this time, Zhu Keer was stirring the hem of her dress with both hands, biting her lips lightly, her eyes were slightly red, but tears kept rolling in her eyes. Zhu Keer is a stunning beauty, but this kind of grievance at this time is particularly pitiful. Seeing this, Leng Yuxuan's heart suddenly softened, and he just wanted to turn around and say a few words of comfort, but at this time, Zhu Ke'er suddenly turned around and hugged Leng Yuxuan tightly.
"Why? Why do you all bully me? My father bullied me, and now you are bullying me. Holding Leng Yuxuan, Zhu Keer's tears couldn't hold back any longer. As a princess, Zhu Keer has her own pride, but even she doesn't understand. At this moment, he will hold a man, and at this moment, how much he longs for his arms.
Leng Yuxuan didn't expect Zhu Ke'er to throw herself into his arms, but at this time, Wen Xiang nephrite was full of arms, but he was in a trance. But with a beautiful woman, the state of mind is extremely quiet, as if all the troubles and sorrows have passed away with this night wind. The two hearts, unconsciously, slowly approached. The beautiful woman in his arms was still crying, but he had a trace of heartache. Naturally, his powerful hands hugged Zhu Ke'er, and the two hugged each other, enjoying this different kind of warmth.
At this time, the many masters who were secretly protecting Zhu Ke'er looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with it. The princess they wanted to protect was held in the arms of a Jianghu boy at this time, and if Zhu Di found out, it would definitely be Long Yan's anger. But if they intervene to stop them at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the princess will not hold a grudge against them in her heart. Whether it is the emperor or the princess, it is not something they can offend. At this time, they saw that the princess was not in danger, so they simply looked up at the moon together, but they didn't see the intimate actions of the two.
And Zhu Keer was holding Leng Yuxuan at this time, and the troubles of being forced to marry by Zhu Di seemed to have disappeared. At this time, Zhu Ke'er's eyes were hazy with tears, but her heart was extremely quiet and soft, and she also slowly said to Leng Yuxuan the bitterness in her heart.
"In your eyes, I am a princess, I am clothed and fed, and I am high. The so-called collection of thousands of favorites in one may be nothing more than that. But you don't know that the princess is nothing but a canary in this cage. The palace may be magnificent, but to me it is a cage. As a princess, she may be beautiful and noble, but she has never been free and cannot choose her own destiny. ”
"How many people are vying for fame and fortune, wanting to enter the royal family, and wanting to be prosperous and rich in their lives, but I am really not uncommon. My father did treat me very well, and he gave me whatever I wanted. Even if it is nine days to catch the moon and five seas to catch turtles, my father will try his best to satisfy me. But since I was a child, no matter where I went, there were always a bunch of guards and palace maids following. Although my father also took me on a trip with Weifu, a bunch of people were really not happy at all. ”
"I savor the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but I don't know what this rock sugar gourd tastes like. I remember when I was a child, I heard a palace maid say that there are rock sugar gourds outside the palace, sweet and sour, and I really want to eat them. But when I told my father that I wanted to go out of the palace and I wanted to eat rock sugar gourd, my father was furious. He felt that the things eaten by the ordinary people in the market were not on the table, and they were not worthy of the status of the royal family. And since that day, I have never seen the palace maid who told me about the rock sugar gourd. ”
Leng Yuxuan listened to Zhu Keer's complaints, and the pity in his heart gradually rose. Indeed, he did not have the so-called brocade clothes and food in his childhood, and even left the palace alone at the age of ten. He witnessed the tragedy of the bloody battle of Wuji Palace back then, watched the death of his relatives and elders, and knew the mission he was carrying. But Leng Yuxuan's life, at least without constraints, is at ease.
"You're right, princess, maybe it's a caged canary. Leng Yuxuan sighed slightly.
