Chapter XI. Life

After Pei Shaoyi left, Sijiu walked in with his camel hair coat: "Princess...... Pei Shao's coat ......"

I collapsed on the bed and didn't say anything.

"Princess?"

I said tiredly: "Let's go out, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

"Yes......"

After Sijiu left, I couldn't calm down, every word Pei Shaoyi said lingered in my ears - "Jiu Ye used to love to go to Guose Tianxianglou to watch the girls of Allure dance, and I also knew him at that time......"

"Speaking of which, the Ninth Master has not paid much attention to Princess Lan Shao since then. At first, he often walked around with Lan Shao, but since he saw the girl in Allure, he was estranged from Princess Lan Shao. ”

"Actually, there are two things I've been holding back, today's words have come to this point, you can also afford Lao Tzu on weekdays, Lao Tzu will tell you!"

"The first time I saw you and the Ninth Master together, I looked closely, and there was a slight resemblance to Allure between my eyebrows...... You are a princess, and your status is naturally incomparable, but Allure has now climbed to the top of the branches and become your little lady, I don't know what kind of play this is when I come and go......"

"Another thing is that the last time I went to Guose Tianxianglou, I found the hairy wild boy who was entangled with me at the Thousand Lantern Society, isn't he the person next to you? How do you stay with Manguyi, the maid of Allure? I haven't been following you lately, but I've found another master......"

……

I almost forgot what I said later, but I can't forget what Pei Shaoyi said before leaving:

"The ninth master is very affectionate, I believe that he is not with you for the sake of glory and wealth, but if it is because you look similar to Allure...... Well, you can do it yourself. ”

If so, what then?

I thought that for eighteen years, I had been longing to love someone with all my heart, no matter how rich or prosperous, but with one heart and one mind. Yuwen Qiye is for the sake of power, if he treats me wholeheartedly, I will definitely give him my honor.

I smelled the fragrance coming from under the porcelain pillow, and remembered the snowy night when I parted with him, and the fine snow fell into his eyes, turning into a wordless sadness.

He said he couldn't go back to Liangzhou.

It turned out that the year Qi Ye's mother gave birth to him was when the Turks attacked Liangzhou City. Zhen Guogong and his wife, who had just given birth to a young son, went out side by side, but on the night of Huma's massacre, the infant baby was snatched away by the Turkic Hu enemy, and there was no news for several years.

Later, the young Yuwen Qi went to Xiliang at night, and by mistake became the adopted son of a family of soldiers in Wangcheng, until he went to the battlefield with his adoptive father to kill the enemy, and was recognized by the Liangzhou assassin Shi Yuwen Qi at that time. On his shoulder, there is the Pixiu mark left by his wife when she gave birth to him.

In those years, the Great Zhou Dynasty had a bad relationship with the enemy country in the border area, Yuwen Qiye helped the Hu people slaughter a lot of people in the Central Plains in Xiliang, everyone in Liangzhou knew that he was good at fighting and vicious at a young age, and he was very valued by the Xiliang military camp.

Therefore, this is the afterword that Concubine Shu walked alone in Xiliang.

I used to piece together his past from the fragments of his conversations with me, but now I realize that his story is so far away from me.

I don't know how honest he is with me, and even these things about his life experience, I need to pretend to be someone else's mouth. I made an oath early without knowing anything about him, was it fortunate or unfortunate?

Sijiu has been in and out many times, always with a worried expression, and finally when he came in the last time, he couldn't help it, and said, "Princess, you have been lying down for so long, let's solve it." ”

"Forty-nine." For the first time, I didn't scold him, "Do you really like immortality?" ”

Sijiu was about to take out the bucket when he heard my words and almost fell into the bucket: "The princess suddenly asked me so bluntly, it really frightened people......"

"Hello answer me."

Forty-nine: "Naturally, it is sincere...... Princess, stop making trouble, and solve the need. ”

I ignored him: "You like him, then do you know if he treats you sincerely?" ”

Sijiu scratched his head and said, "I didn't think about this...... and thought for a while, "It's just that I have nothing, and since it's like this, he can still like me, probably sincerely." ”

"Yes, you don't have anything...... "But I'm a princess, and I have a skin similar to others, will Yuwen Qi treat me sincerely at night?"

I asked Forty-Nine again, "Did Changsheng tell you about his past?" ”

Sijiu nodded and said, "I can't read and write, so I can't fight against Changsheng's poetry, and Changsheng loves to tell me about his previous battles with generals." ”

"He looks like a weak scholar, but he didn't expect to be a general."

Sijiu continued: "Then General Yuwen Pingsuri doesn't look as humble and polite as the son of the family in Chang'an?" But as soon as he got on the battlefield, he was the iron-fisted god of war. In this regard, Changsheng is very similar to a general. ”

"You little goblin is still short of protection." I tried to laugh in a light-hearted tone, but it didn't seem to work out," ...... I've only recently come to realize what you're talking about. ”

Sijiu was stunned: "No, the son is so close to the general on weekdays......"

"The closer you get to him, the more you can't understand him." My eyes were empty, and my heart was empty. "The aggregates are all empty, and if one day, I find that loving him is also empty, you say, will I attain the mysteries of Buddhism?"

After that, I shook my head in self-denial, "How could I ......" and asked uneasily, "Sijiu, I seem to be in love with him, shouldn't this be empty?" ”

Sijiu sighed: "I have never seen a woman in the palace like you...... Princess, love someone, it's a good thing! ”

I laughed dumbly, the eldest is not a small royal child, and he has to make himself so innocent and infatuated, and it is still a bit embarrassing to say it.

"Princess...... "Sijiu wandered, "I forgot to tell you something, Shen Zhan Shizi came and waited outside the door for a long time. ”

I closed my eyes and said lightly, "Let him go, I'm sleepy and don't want to see him." ”

I don't know when I left, the twilight was low, and the dormitory was dark and deserted.

In my head, the sound of the flute played in my ears on Chinese New Year's Eve was tortuous, lingering and melancholy. Countless fireworks bloomed in the sky, brilliant to the extreme, and then disappeared in an instant.

The Buddha said: All things are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.

Kuro, what about you?
