Chapter 1 II
The thirty-seventh year of the reign of the state of Chu
Baili Xianrou stood on the palace road at dusk, watching the sunset and the sunset in the sky, her face was not immature and beautiful, but it did not match the dignified and calm temperament and the vicissitudes of life between the eyebrows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The moment she landed, she thought that her life was over, but otherwise, she came back to life again, back to the age when she had not yet passed away.
Now it is the one hundred and twenty-seventh year of the Xuancheng Dynasty, and the hundred miles of rhododendrons are blooming, covering the gardens of the royal palace of the Chu State.
There was a sound of shimmering footsteps behind him, and Zang Chun stepped forward with a cloak and gently put it on for Envy, "Princess, why are you standing in the wind, the wind is cold." Cover Chun said softly.
Since that day when the princess contracted the wind cold, she felt that the princess was weird, but she didn't know what was wrong, but she always felt that the princess was not happy.
Xian Rou pulled her cloak, a smile on the corner of her lips, and joked: "Being stuffy in the hall all day is about to suffocate me to death." Do you still want to lock me up? ā
Covering Chunwu's face, he blushed and said angrily: "Princess, what nonsense are you talking about!" The slave and maid only cared about the princess, how could she be added to this trumped-up charge. ā
Xianrou looked at the appearance of the spring, and felt cute, the spring is always lively, although she is informal, but she is a careful person.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes, his face was serious and serious, but he hesitated for a moment before he said to Xian Rou: "What is the princess worried about lately?" Why don't you see the princess as happy as usual? ā
Envy was stunned, isn't it as cheerful as usual......
After going through so many things, can Xianrou still be happy......?
Looking at the worried face of Hidden Chun, Xianrou couldn't bear it, so she smiled and said: "Isn't it stuffy, I haven't eaten osmanthus cake for a few days~"
Cover Chun's eyes suddenly lit up, his hands clapped, and he said happily: "It turned out that the princess was greedy but embarrassed to say it, so the slave maid went to order the dining room to prepare." ā
Xian Rou nodded, watching Hidden Spring jump and go. As the figure of the hidden spring disappeared, the envy smile was obviously much lighter.
She raised her eyes to look at the sky and murmured in a low voice: "This day is going to be cloudy, and I'm afraid it will rain again later." With that, he turned and walked towards the palace behind him.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Xian Rou looked at this face again, it was indeed what she looked like when she was a girl. At this time, she passed the age of peace.
Caress your cheeks with your bare hands, your skin is like cream, and you can break it by blowing. I really lived again, back to the time when I was many years ago, and started again.
Resume...... Envy Rou closes her eyes every time, but the past is vivid, how can she start again?
"Sister, I hunted a hare today, do you want to eat it?"
Before Xian Rou could think about anything, there was a sound behind her. It's Yun Ji, her favorite brother.
She knew that Yun Ji would be a great figure in the future.
"Eat, wait for the osmanthus cake to be delivered in the dining room, you can stay." Envy smiled softly.
Yun Ji is the son of the Chu State and was born only a few months later than Xian Rou. There is another prince in the state of Chu, but it is only just a full moon, his name is Chengyi, and he was born to Yun Ji. Roujia and Qinghe are two other princesses, one is nine years old and the other is five years old. Roujia was born to the queen, and Qinghe was born to a nobleman.
Yun Ji has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, but she is withdrawn, she only befriends Xianrou, and even gets tired of being by Xianrou's side every day.
The harem of the king of Chu is very harmonious, and there are only the queen and Concubine De in the high position, and these two are like brothers. And Yun Ji is the son of Concubine De.
Pulling Xian Rou to sit on the soft couch, Yun Ji smiled and leaned on Xian Rou's lap, as usual.
"The osmanthus cake in the dining room is delicious, but it is not as fragrant as the imperial sister." Yun Ji's voice is clear, under the perennial teaching of the Taishi monk Yi, Yun Ji is not as active and reckless as a young child, he already has all the characteristics of being a prince.
Xianrou raised her hand and stroked Yunji's hair, her eyes were full of doting, but she said: "Knowing that I was too lazy, I still insisted that I move, and I was used as a maid." ā
Yun Ji moved his head, changed to a more comfortable position, and said softly: "Sister, I only have you." ā
Hearing this, Envy was slightly stunned.
All he had was her...... Yes, Yun Ji has lived up to the expectations of the King of Chu since he was a child, studied hard, practiced martial arts diligently, and never said that he was tired or tired.
When he was eight years old, he was given a supper for making a mistake, beaten several times and kneeling in front of the temple, and he secretly cried.
That was what Xian Rou had ever seen, and he cried one of the few times.
Yun Ji just let the tears slide down her cheeks, and quickly wiped them away before they fell. Xianrou loved his younger brother so much, so he quietly entered the palace and sent him food, but Yun Ji ignored it, and only said that this should be punished. Xianrou felt sorry for him, hugged him and cried secretly, Yun Ji gently patted her back to show relief.
It's as if she's the one who was being punished.
Yun Ji always has the calmness and solemnity of the son of the world outside, and only on the side of Xianrou can he relax and restore his original appearance.
He was only a child, only fifteen years old, and he had taken on so much, and Xianrou understood his suffering. At that time, he was fifteen years old and didn't know too much about human feelings, but he blindly persuaded Yun Jiren and told him that he was the son of the world, and he had to remember this identity. Now, however, she is no longer in the mind of fifteen.
She regretted it a little.
When Zangchun hurried into the hall with his things, there was already thunder outside, and in an instant, rain fell.
The rain in the south of the Yangtze River is always lingering.
Hearing this thunder, Xian Rou couldn't help but be frightened. Here it comes...... How familiar is this thunder...... She folded her hands into fists and closed her eyes slightly.
"Sister?" Yun Ji took the osmanthus cake and ate it, but saw that Xian Rou was in a daze, and felt strange in her heart.
"......" Xian Rou came back to her senses and just shook her head.
She is only fifteen years old now, and the rain that changes her fate should be this time in three years.
Xian Rou continued: "I just miss the taste of osmanthus cake very much. ā
Yun Ji took a bite of the osmanthus cake and said with a smile: "Sister is greedy, I only ate it a few days ago, but now I miss it." ā
Xian Rou ate it one bite at a time, smiled but did not respond, only she knew what she meant.
The sky is getting dark, and the palace lights are getting brighter. The palace maid rushed in with the meal.
"Today afternoon, Zhao Guo sent someone to send a ferret, has Sister ever seen it?" Yun Ji said while holding the dishes for Xian Rou.
Xian Rou shook her head and said lightly: "I haven't left the Zhaowen Hall today, and I heard that the ferret was asked to go by Roujia. ā
"Well, I originally wanted to come for Sister A, but then I thought that Sister Ah already has a Persian cat here, I'm afraid I can't take care of it."
"Roujia is a younger sister, she likes to give it to him, why should you fight with her." Saying that he didn't see the lazy cat today, he asked, "What about Tuan Tuan?" ā
Cover Chun, who was waiting on the side, said: "Yesterday, the princess of Qinghe was going to go, but the princess forgot about it?" ā
"Oh, it seems like that's the case." After eating a few bites of food, I suddenly thought of something, "I don't see anyone when I cover the fragrance." ā
Yun Ji took a bite of food and raised her good-looking eyebrows, "When I came here, I saw her learning flower arranging in the Siyuan room." ā
Cover Chun pursed her lips and couldn't help but interject: "What flower arrangement does she learn in a day, it's really idle." ā
Xian Rou smiled and didn't say anything, she naturally knew why she learned flower arrangement, and the happy smile at that time was still clearly imprinted in her mind.
Xianrou used to be so hopeful...... A couple from generation to generation for a lifetime.
The rain stopped after the meal, and it didn't last long, and after the rain, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, and the sky was washed thoroughly, and a few stars could be faintly seen.
Xianrou was reclining on the soft couch, Yun Ji was also sitting on the side holding the book of war, Covering Chun was holding the window, and Covering the fragrance was also coming back from the Si Yuan room, inserting fresh flowers into the delicately carved vase.
"Eldest Sister ~ Eldest Sister ~" Qinghe's milk voice exhaled with envy, and when she looked out of the window, she saw Qinghe running all the way over with Tuan Tuantuan, followed by a sweaty nurse.
Qinghe jumped lightly and crossed the threshold, but the nurse behind him almost tripped over, and when Qinghe pulled the corner of Xianrou's skirt, the nurse was embarrassed to reshape her appearance and respectfully greet Xianrou.
Xianrou nodded to signal the nurse to excuse herself, and then gently stroked Qinghe's hair.
Qinghe's face was flushed, and he tied a double bun, only to hear her say: "Eldest sister, I'm here to return the group~"
Yun Ji didn't look up on the side, but a voice came from behind the book, "Why do you want to come in person, just send someone to send it." ā
Qinghe was a little aggrieved, and his hand holding Tuan Tuan tightened, "Brother Shizi, Qinghe... Qinghe wanted to come to play with the eldest sister, Qinghe ...... Boring tight ......"
Qinghe didn't grow up with his biological mother since he was a child, and was only taken care of by his nurse in Lianyue Palace. Yun Ji always doesn't smile at others, so Qinghe is especially afraid of him, and because she was born as the daughter of a nobleman, she has cultivated such an inferiority complex, unlike Rou Jia, who directly calls the second brother.
"Yun'er, you are really, Qinghe is still young, scare her carefully." Xian Rou scolded Yun Ji lightly, and brought milk tea to cover the spring.
Yun Ji didn't talk anymore, just stared intently at the military book.
Xian Rou took the Tuan Tuan handed over by Qinghe, and then handed it to Cover Xiang, and then she took Qinghe's hand, hugged her on her lap, and said softly: "If Wan'er is idle and boring, you can come to the eldest sister to play, and you can also help the eldest sister tease Tuan Tuan if you have nothing to do." ā
"Okay!" Qinghe replied without thinking, and after that, Qinghe quickly turned his head to look at Yun Ji's side, and saw that Yun Ji did not react, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "Eldest sister, I haven't seen my mother for a long time......"
Hearing this, Xian Rou was slightly stunned, and Xuan Chun just brought milk tea, and Xian Rou took it and handed it to Qinghe, "Your mother has been busy recently, and when your mother is free, I will go to see you." ā
I saw Qinghe nodding obediently, but his face was still full of loss. It's just that when she heard the conversation between the two of them, Yun Ji's gaze shifted from the book to the envy on her face, paused for a moment, and then buried herself in the book.
Everyone knows that Jiang Guiren, the biological mother of Princess Qinghe, was banned for three months for violating Fengjia and punished for copying women's training. It's just that how can this be said to Qinghe.
The night was getting deeper, Yunji and Qinghe were gone, and Xianrou was tired for a day, so she rested.
"Now that I have tied this red ribbon for you, you will never be able to take it off."
"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ā
"I have the world in my heart, and I love you, don't embarrass me, okay?"
"Rou'er, don't leave my ......"
What lingers in the dream is the sound that lingers. Xianrou also frowned in her dream, and slept very uncomfortably all night.
On the second day, it was still early to get up, and she was pacing in the hall, only to hear that the prince of the Jin State had visited the Chu State, and her heart suddenly chuckled.
Prince of the Jin Kingdom...... It is now one hundred and twenty-seven years, and the Jin Kingdom at this time is still the period of Chengzu, that is, his father......
"How could it be...... How could he come...... "Xian Rou shook her head and muttered, yes this is something she doesn't remember, her first encounter with him was also in the Jin Kingdom, but now this ......
Envy was puzzled, and a little trance-like, and I didn't know what mentality to see him. I saw her sitting in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, until she pushed the door and entered, and Xianrou finished dressing up with the help of Xiangxiang.
When he pushed the door and went out, he saw Yun Ji standing at the door.
"Sister, this Ji Ziqian will come to Chu State, he must be uneasy and kind." As soon as she saw Xian Rou open the door, Yun Ji hurriedly spoke.
"......" Xian Rou thought about things in her heart, and didn't hear Yun Ji's words at all.
"Sister...... Sister, what's wrong with you? Yun Ji saw that Xian Rou didn't react, and called a few more times before Xian Rou reacted, "It must be uneasy and kind...... Disturbed and kind-hearted......"
When Yun Ji saw Xianrou like this, she thought it was caused by Xianrou's nervousness, so she held Xianrou's hand tightly and said softly: "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here." ā
In a trance, Xian Rou was already standing in front of Yanying Palace.
Walking into the hall, I saw a man in a blue robe, handsome and handsome, as silent as the sea as always, his deep eyes were locked on Xian Rou's face when he came in, and the faint smile on his lips was like the cold ice of the deep sea.
It's all so familiar...... It's him, it's really him.
The future King of Jin...... Ji Ziqian!
"Rou'er, this is Ji Ziqian, the prince of the Jin Kingdom." Baili Su pointed at Ji Ziqian and introduced to Xianrou.
He hasn't changed, just less majestic, but still heroic, it's really him.
Xian Rou nodded at Ji Ziqian and hurriedly sat down. Ji Ziqian didn't stay on Xianrou for long, and turned to talk about something with Baili Su.
What does Ji Ziqian's arrival mean? Is the past going to be tampered with? So, will the future be different?
Xian Rou was a little scared, she was afraid that everything would move towards another situation that she couldn't control, and she was helpless, she could only try to ...... Stay away from him.
At the banquet, Yun Ji looked at Ji Ziqian vigilantly, while Xian Rou just pinched her handkerchief a little helplessly.
The careful Cover Chun noticed something unusual, but frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to speculate.
After the banquet, Xian Rou hurriedly went out, Ji Ziqian was still sitting on the seat, the smile on his lips was deeper, and all this Yun Ji saw in his eyes, he took a sip of wine and got up to leave.
On the corridor in front of the Zhaowen Palace, Xian Rou clenched her fists, her body trembled slightly, but there was mist in her eyes.
Ji Ziqian...... Ziqian ...... I don't want to face you again......
I still remember that it was an afternoon, and Xian Rou leaned on Ji Ziqian's wide and warm chest.
"Rou'er, let Chu State persuade you to surrender." Ji Ziqian lowered his eyes and looked at Envy Rou, and gently stroked Envy Rou's sideburns.
Hearing this, Xian Rou looked at her in a daze, and then she raised her head to face him, her face "Impossible, Your Majesty." I know I'm just a proton here, but Your Majesty, you underestimate me too much. ā
On the promenade, the sun rose higher and higher, and the warm sun was like Ji Ziqian's chest, warm, but so far away.
Xian Rou changed her clothes, and walked out of the Zhaowen Palace, and after a few steps, she lowered her eyes and softly called out a person's name: "Qin Qi." ā
A dark shadow came out of nowhere, and quickly moved in front of Xian Rou, kneeling on one knee, waiting for orders.
A cold voice came from the man who bowed his head and saluted: "Princess." ā
Qin Qi is a person who rarely speaks, he is Envy's personal guard, personal protection, but hidden in the dark.
Xianrou looked up into the distance, her eyes were blank: "I want to go out for a walk, I don't want people to see it." ā
When Qin Qi heard this, he got up, stepped forward and whispered, "It's rude." Then he hugged Xianrou, performed light skills, and jumped out of the palace of the king of Chu in a few steps.
After staying in a forest, Qin Qi put Xianrou down. The trees in the forest are towering into the clouds, the green leaves are verdant, but the terrain in the forest is complex, and people often get lost here, so few people visit here.
"Qin Qi, you say...... Could history change? "Clueless, Xian Rou asked such a sentence.
Qin Qi followed behind Xian Rou, and when he heard this, he just raised his head, and there was no change in the expression on his face, "Self is unchangeable." ā
Qin Qi is a very good-looking young man, although he is rarely withdrawn, but he is the person who has been guarding her since Xianrou was sensible, so Xianrou especially trusts him.
"Yes, if it changes, how can it be history." Xianrou lowered her head and laughed at herself slightly, but remembering Ji Ziqian's young face, she frowned unconsciously, she shook her head, "But what if something really happened?" Envy said softly.
This time, Qin Qi didn't reply, just stopped and stared at Xianrou's back. Xian Rou seemed to sense something, and hurriedly turned around, revealing a hint of a smile, "I also think about it casually, talk about it casually, don't you care." Xian Rou almost forgot that she was now reborn, and now she was only fifteen years old.
Qin Qi walked behind Xian Rou and said, "Everything in the world has its own fixed number, and the princess just has to do what she thinks." ā
Xianrou didn't respond, but secretly made up her mind.
At this time, the sun has already crossed the mountains, and the forest is particularly shady because of the green trees. Although Xianrou walked slowly, her heart was beating rapidly, and it was difficult to calm down.
When I returned to the palace, the sun was already setting. After making sure that Xianrou was safe, Qin Qi returned to the shadows. He was always in a place that Xianrou couldn't see, but he appeared at any moment when Xianrou needed him. This is the quality that a secret guard should have, no, a loyal servant, Qin Qi thought so.
Xian Rou, who had just entered the Zhaowen Palace, was startled by Yun Ji who suddenly rushed over.
"Sister, where did you go again, and you didn't tell me, I saw that you were unhappy, and I wanted to come over to comfort you, but who knew that you were gone." Yun Ji's worry was beyond words, and Xian Rou just shook her head, "It's okay." ā
With that, Xian Rou walked to the table and poured a cup of tea herself. "Just go out for a walk, nothing, you don't have to worry."
Yun Ji also walked over, took the teapot that Xian Rou was about to put down, and poured herself a cup, "Fortunately, you have Qin Qi by your side, and I don't worry about anything." ā
"That season...... Can the prince of the Jin Kingdom leave? Envy asked uneasily.
Yun Ji didn't seem to like him very much, and snorted softly when he heard this: "No, my father will stay with him overnight and leave tomorrow." ā
Xian Rou was stunned in her heart, but she said: "This is the friendship of hospitality, you can't just drive people away." ā
I said this to Yun Ji and to myself.
When night fell, Yun Ji naturally stayed in Xianrou to eat.
It was an incident during the banquet that shocked everyone in the Chu Palace - something happened to the prince of the Jin Kingdom.
