Chapter 42: Cherry Blossom Appreciation
Gu Yanling glanced around the empty room, her lips raised slightly, she got up and stroked the folds of her skirt slightly, and then walked towards the door unhurriedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Squeak", the door was gently opened, and under the sun, Libi and Jiang Zhu saw their girl's clear eyes.
"Let's go and see the cherry blossoms here. β
"Good!"
Jiang Zhu almost blurted out, and his words couldn't hide his joy. The blue lips smiled slightly, and in a blink of an eye, she caught a glimpse of the relieved smile in her girl's eyes, as if the sunrise after the layers of fog were removed, which made people look clear.
Looking at Jiang Zhu beside her, who was happily talking non-stop, Gu Yanling shook her head with a smile, but she thought of the conversation she had with Ziyang Zhenren, who seemed to know her intentions and said a lot to her, but the only thing she remembered the most was that sentence.
There is cause and effect, cause and effect gain and loss, but between thoughts. If you have good thoughts, you will attain nirvana, and if you have evil thoughts, you will be in vain.
If her current life is Nirvana in her previous life, then it doesn't matter whether she is good or evil in this life, all she wants is to let those who had evil thoughts and greedy thoughts in her previous life lose their power and wealth and go to hell.
"Girl, look. β
Jiang Zhu's happy voice recalled Gu Yanling's thoughts, and when he looked up, there was a sea of cherry blossoms as far as the eye could see, or pink or white cherry blossoms were beautiful, as if the clouds were permeating his eyes, and the most striking thing was the extremely bright and strong cherry blossoms blooming on the cliff, as if the flowers were extremely heavy, and they were all over the branches, like a waterfall pouring down with a touch of smoke, making people seem to hear the sound of flowing water.
Because the true view of enlightenment falls on the peak, so the sea of clouds between the cliffs, a gust of wind gently blows, the sea of flowers ripples, rolls up countless petals, with the fragrance that seems to be absent in the clouds and mist, stained with the clothes of the flower admirers, paved with mud incense paths, filled with heaven and earth.
Gu Yanling was stunned by the scene in front of him, and involuntarily walked slowly towards the most beautiful cherry blossom tree. With every step, the skirt brought up the falling flowers on the ground, and inadvertently, the pink and white cherry blossoms were already stained with Gu Yanling's pink Hunan skirt.
However, just ten steps away from the cherry blossom tree, Gu Yanling stopped behind the cherry blossom tree, did not step forward again, followed by Libi and Jiang Zhu, paused slightly, and looked at the eyes of their own girl.
A dark figure stood lonely in front of the cherry blossoms of the tree.
The red cherry blossoms seemed to be churning clouds and mist between the heavens and the earth, and the young man in the dark cloak was as calm as if he had been in a state of flux, and between this movement and silence, they faintly felt that the young man was surrounded by an awe-inspiring temperament that was difficult to approach, and the air around him seemed to be frozen.
Jiang Zhu was stunned, and couldn't help but take a closer look, but saw that the young man was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the ink-colored jade crown gathered his long hair, and a gust of wind rose, and his hair flew behind him like a waterfall. And when Jiang Zhu's careful eyes fell on the young man's cold side face, he was so shocked that he couldn't help but be stunned.
Jiang Zhu didn't know what to say.
It's shocking, and that's probably it.
The scattered hair floated slightly in his ears, but the young man in front of him was not moved at all, and his cold eyes fell lightly in front of him, not knowing whether he was looking at the beautiful cherry blossoms in front of him, or the sea of clouds that turned over behind the cherry blossom trees.
Gu Yanling condensed slightly, and faintly saw a little bit of the profundity of reading the world from the young man's unmoved eyes.
Suddenlyβ
A pink and white cherry blossom fell on the young man's shoulder, like a stone breaking the quiet lake, the young man moved slightly, lightly covered his eyes, and then his eyes were retracted, the slender fingers were gently raised, the index finger and middle finger gently pulled off the petals, and then fell, the hand of the flower was hidden under the dark sleeves, I don't know whether the playful petals were abandoned in the falling flowers all over the ground, or were collected in the sleeves of the young man.
"Your Highness has already set up a stick of incense, if you like the cherry blossoms here, it is better to discuss directly with the real person, move a few plants and plant them in your palace, and if you want to come with a few flowers, the real person will not disagree." β
The voice that suddenly interjected made Ji Bi and Jiang Zhu see that there was a young boy next to the young man, and the dress of the servant was unusual, just His Royal Highness, and probably guessed the identity of the young man.
"Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei. β
The young man slowly turned his head sideways, glanced at the servant beside him preachily, and then slowly turned his eyes, looked up at the flowers and trees in front of him and said: "The cherry blossoms here listen to the real people preaching every day, and naturally have understanding, if they are moved to the palace, what is the difference between them and those worldly flowers." β
When the servant heard this, he suddenly lost his words, and inadvertently swept his gaze around, but he happened to see the skirt hidden behind the flower tree not far away. Looking down, the servant suddenly lit up at Gu Yanling, and then raised his voice as if he had discovered something important: "Your Highness!"
The young man frowned and glanced at the servant Tan Mo beside him, only to feel that today was a little more noisy than usual, but who knew that the guy was squeezing his eyebrows, and following his signaling gaze, he saw a figure walking out from behind the flower tree not far away, approaching unhurriedly.
When he saw the girl at the head of the row, the young man's eyes were clear, and he slowly turned around and stood with his hands in his hands, behind him was still the overturned and vast sea of clouds rolling up the tide of flowers.
Gu Yanling was a little helpless in his heart, seeing that the servant was happy to see him, he was the only one who came out.
Since you see it, how can there be any reason not to salute.
"His Royal Highness. β
The girl spoke lightly, Xiao Yi nodded politely, and then said, "Miss Gu, please get up." β
The girl got up like a stream, smoothed her dress, stood there upright, raised her head slightly, her eyes were lowered, neither humble nor arrogant, not arrogant or impatient.
"Miss Gu also came to enjoy the flowers. β
It was obviously a question, but it was so plain that people couldn't hear the slightest hint of asking, Gu Yanling only bowed slightly, and lightly spit out the word "yes".
The young man nodded slightly, which was considered a response, and turned his back away, as if in a state of mind.
The surroundings were silent, and there happened to be no other tourists here at this moment, under the two phases, Gu Yanling felt a little embarrassed to stand there, and it was uncomfortable to enjoy the flowers like this.
"The courtiers should also go back, so as not to disturb His Royal Highness the Grand Sun-"
Gu Yanling bowed politely, and before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yi in front of him leaning sideways slightly, a pair of eyes swept towards him indifferently, and said in a calm tone without a trace of waves: "Enjoying the flowers with me, makes Miss Gu feel uncomfortable?"
Gu Yanling's body was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but raise his head, but he happened to meet Xiao Yi's indifferent gaze.
Gu Yanling suppressed the urge to say "yes" in her heart, and lowered her eyes slightly: "How come, it is an honor for a courtier to be able to enjoy the flowers with His Royal Highness the Grand Sun." β
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, the corners of his lips raised slightly, he didn't see a hint of honor in her attitude.
It's really a woman with different hearts.
Immediately, Gu Yanling heard Xiao Yi's faint "um", and turned his back again, but left three words and scattered leisurely into the wind.
"That's fine. β
Gu Yanling was a little helpless, in her previous life, she didn't have much intersection with the grandson Xiao Yi in front of her, she only knew that he had a cold temperament and was not easy to get close to. How many princes and nobles in the capital admired this eldest grandson who was deeply favored by the emperor and had a peerless appearance, but the cold temperament of the grandson was just a sigh from afar.
But it's a pity that the imperial grandson, who was originally praised by everyone in the court, who was going to inherit the unification in the future, ended up blind at a young age.
The prince of Donggong couldn't stand such bad news, his condition worsened, and he finally died. And this is undoubtedly worse for the princess who has a deep relationship between husband and wife, but she also followed it for half a year.
The emperor invited famous doctors from all over the country to administer medicine and needles to Xiao Yi, but after all, there was no improvement.
Royal Ben is ruthless.
In the end, the emperor gave up this once highly valued eldest grandson, and instead put the training goal on the rising star of Xiao Yan, the ninth son of the emperor, and Xiao Yi, the grandson of the emperor, who was once regarded as the prince, was gradually forgotten by the emperor and forgotten by the world, but he died of illness when he was young.
Gu Yanling quietly looked at Xiao Yi's lonely and cold back, and the dust gradually flashed through his mind.
Many years after Xiao Yi's death, she found out the truth by mistake.
Xiao Yi's blindness and loss of the throne are not accidental, the driving force of all this is her husband, Xiao Yan, the frail and sickly "sick seedling" in the eyes of the world.
At this moment, Gu Yanling suddenly felt that Xiao Yi in her previous life was somewhat similar to her, her life was ruined in the hands of her trusted third uncle Gu Jingzhao, and Xiao Yi's life was also ruined in the hands of his closest Nine Emperor Uncle Xiao Yan.
In her previous life, she was a cripple, and in her previous life, he was blind.
Thinking of Gu Yanling here, her lips couldn't help but smile helplessly, but a decision gradually rose in her heart and condensed into shape.
secretly tore off Xiao Yan's false mask in front of Xiao Yi, as a boudoir woman, it was not easy for her to bring down Xiao Yan, the prince of the heavenly family. But if it was Xiao Yi, the future prince, the emperor's eldest grandson, who was favored by the emperor, it couldn't be easier.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanling looked at the back in front of him again, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little deeper.
However, at this time, although Xiao Yan had his back to Gu Yanling, he still took the actions of the girl behind him into the afterglow.
Intuitively, Xiao Yan felt that the girl behind him was not like an ordinary boudoir girl.
There is no innocence and arrogance of girls of the same age, but it is a little more indescribable momentum.
And even if this momentum is disguised, it seems to be innate, and it will not be reduced.
This is not what a twelve-year-old princess girl should have.
And the way she stared at her back at this moment was intriguing.
