Cai Guoguo broke his family, and the following year the king of Chu was crowned.
"Peach Blossom, forget the past, I will be good to you." Xi Hou said to her.
It turns out that he knows everything, it turns out that he can do this! He is the king of a country, but he is willing to pretend to be blind with open eyes for her, and bow his head and beg others, just for her comfort.
In fact, he already knew the reason and purpose for her marrying into Xiguo, but he cooperated with her. So the game became seamless.
Peach Blossom felt that she was tired. She didn't want to think about those things anymore, love or hate, in fact, it should have nothing to do with her a long time ago.
She was relieved to be Mrs. Xihou.
Yiqiē may have been destined when she married Xiguo, the king of Chu laid down that world, but that world did not belong to her.
Fei Taohua never thought that the king of Chu would invite Xihou to a banquet, and bluntly said that she wanted Taohua to accompany her.
The king of Chu humiliated the peach blossom in front of everyone, and he asked her to pour wine for her.
Xi Hou almost wanted to kill him at that moment, but he held back. Because the concubine peach blossom spoke in his ear, she asked him to endure it. The king of Chu may just want to humiliate her, forced by the general trend, what is this kind of humiliation compared to the destruction of the country?
She poured wine for the King of Chu, but when she turned around, she grabbed her sleeve. As if he was drunk, he muttered, "Mrs. Xi? This name doesn't deserve you. Come to Lonely, and call you Mrs. Peach Blossom, okay? ”
Fei Taohua pulled back her sleeves, turned around and walked away coldly: "King Chu, are you ......drunk?"
"Lonely and not drunk!"
Unexpectedly, the king of Chu was furious, captured the marquis, and accepted the concubine Peach Blossom as Mrs. Peach Blossom in the army.
The night was deep, and when the king of Chu hugged her, why did she think of it, not anyone. Is it the scene when the peach blossoms bloom in March and the flowing water meets?
"What are you thinking?" He said this behind her ear.
She didn't look back, but asked him softly: "I am already the wife of Xihou, the king of Chu forcibly robbed people's wives, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world?" ”
"Afraid of what?" He grabbed her shoulders and made her face him. His eyes were like the night outside, and it was dark and shadowy at a glance. "Loneliness is the king, and he can't even get the woman he likes, which makes people laugh."
Fei Taohua smiled, she didn't know that what the King of Chu said could become so ridiculous for a moment. "King Chu, are you lying to me, or are you lying to yourself?" She said coldly: "Do you like me, or your ambition?" ”
How beautiful the peach blossoms in spring are, how beautiful the peach blossoms are. But when a piece of beauty brings misery to life, the woman who owns it is not beautiful, but a disaster.
Fei Taohua knows that a man like King Chu will always be at the forefront.
Fei Taohua, who was standing in the enchantment, felt a little cold and looked at Lu Qianjin, but she still stood there and watched silently.
Sensing her shrinking movement, Lu Qianjin glanced at her: "Do you feel cold?" ”
"Don't you feel cold? These men, what they do is so chilling. She reached out and touched the hairpin on her head, plucked it out and looked at it in front of her eyes. The gemstone is set in gold, and it is so beautiful. "King of Chu...... Do you really like her? ”
She originally thought that Lu Qianjin would say no, but she didn't expect her to no: "King Chu has probably only loved such a woman in his life." It's just that she is his love and his most perfect excuse. Fei Taohua doesn't necessarily really love Xihou much, but the world likes loyalty, so she must be loyal. ”
How unfair, the world's evaluation of women has always been cruel. Truth/Appearance is often drowned in gossip.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the concubine Peach Blossom was accepted as Mrs. Peach Blossom by King Chu Qiang, and she never saw Xihou again in her life. There are different opinions about her ending, and even made up the lie that she and Xihou were martyred at the city gate to deceive the world.
In fact, Fei Taohua really became the peach blossom lady of the King of Chu for many, many years. It's just that she never took the initiative to talk to the king of Chu again, even if he later favored her to ascend to heaven, even if she later gave birth to two sons for him.
In fact, she has already understood. The King of Chu who once loved was like a too beautiful old dream, and the dream had to wake up after all. What she loves is not what he is now. In her memories, she beautified him again and again, and in reality, he became more and more hideous.
Many people always like to ask the future when they listen to the story, what about the future of the peach blossom and the king of Chu?
Later, no one would know that the famous King of Chu died at the hands of Concubine Taohua. She smeared the poison on his clothes, and penetrated along his texture little by little, accumulating over time, and finally the medicine was cured.
Before dying, the king of Chu pulled the sleeve of the peach blossom, just like the peach blossom of Chen Guo back then, when he saw her for the first time.
Her face is like a peach, and the look back of her eyes is overwhelming for life, which is breathtaking.
"Peach Blossom...... You've been ...... Resent me right......"
She indifferently withdrew her sleeve: "Yes, I hate you." I hate that you didn't marry me back then, and I hate that you forced me to come back to you after I married someone else. You've been pushing me to do things I don't want to do. ”
"I knew ......" he tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, but said, "But I ...... Don't regret it...... "Do it again, he still wants both the country and the woman."
Fei Taohua turned her face away and looked out the window. "It's March again."
He followed her line of sight, and sure enough, he saw peach blossoms blooming outside the window, and the sky was full of fragrant flowers. The wind blew gently, raising a dazzling rain of peach blossoms.
"Peach Blossom...... Opened ...... As the name suggests...... he said, he put his hands on his chest and closed his eyes quietly.
Hearing that there was no movement, Fei Taohua turned around. He closed his eyes, as if asleep. At that moment, tears welled up in my eyes, and I don't know if it was because he was finally free, or because he finally died.
She leaned down and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a purse containing half a peach blossom branch that had withered and dried for many years.
She closed her eyes, and tears rained down for a moment. When Chen Guo first met many years ago, she still remembered the first thing he asked, who are you.
She said that I was the second princess and the peach blossom, and he smiled and broke half of the peach branch, and said, "People are as their name suggests." ”
She held the half of the peach branch in one hand, touched his face with the other, and said in a voice: "If there is an afterlife, we all have to be ordinary people." Don't do it again, it's a long way to go......"
The son of the concubine Taohua later became the famous King of Chucheng.
Many years later, the peach blossoms are still black like clouds, and their faces are like peach and plum. Lying on the bed in the dormitory, she opened her eyes for the last time. Outside the window, a tree of peach blossoms is gorgeous/beautiful, layered or pink or white, as if someone has dyed such a beauty with blue blood.
She smiled slightly: "If there is an afterlife, we all have to be ordinary people." ”
Grabbing the withered peach blossom branch in her arms, she closed her eyes in contentment.
Peach blossoms in troubled times, who chases the water?
"Let's go." Lu Qianjin turned around, regardless of whether Fei Taohua followed behind her. "We should go back."
Fei Taohua followed behind her, her expression dazed. "It's all over?"
"It's all over."
She smiled bitterly, "After all, we have all become ordinary people, and we haven't been able to be together well." Lord Lu, what do you say...... That woman, who is she liked? She really didn't want to put her name on another person's head, so she had to describe it as that woman.
"This ...... It's time to ask herself, and no one knows what's going on in her heart. Just like you, do you know who you really like in your heart? The daughter took out the small bronze mirror from her sleeve and smiled at the peach blossom, many of which were comforting. I take you to see this story to tell you that regret has been caused, and all you can do is try not to let this regret expand. The sadness of Lady Peach Blossom is that the king of Chu wants too much. And your sadness is that you and Chu Yao met too late. ”
Seeing that she was silent, the daughter said again: "Let's go back first, as for the story you haven't finished telling, we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
When I returned to the Qianjin Building, it was daytime, and I said goodbye to Fei Taohua and walked out of Taohuawu, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Ying Zheng standing at the door with Su Yao in her arms, looking at her sadly.
"It took you a total of three days and four nights to find that golden hairpin......"
"I heard a story by the way." closed the door, stepped forward and picked up Su Yao and put her on the ground: "I told you, Su Yao has gained weight recently, don't hug her anymore." ”
Su Yao meowed plaintively at her feet, but no one paid attention to her, so she could only flick her tail and go to her little monk Liu Ziye.
Lu Qianjin saw the direction she left, her eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.
"Go back to eat, Su Yao is more sensible than you." Ying Zheng put his arm around her shoulders and walked out, "You haven't been in good health lately, don't wear it all the time, it's very energy-consuming." ”
"Got it......" followed him out, and as soon as he walked to the main hall of the Qianjin Building, the door of the palace that was originally tightly closed was pushed open, and the lights lit on both sides shook one after another, and it took a long time to stabilize.
Ying Zheng stared at the man in front of him, and quickly reached out to protect Lu Qianjin behind him. "Who are you?"
The man's eyebrows and eyes were like deep night, obscure, and it was impossible for people to see what was going on in his heart. "You're not the person I'm looking for, where is Lu Qianjin?"
Lu Qianjin slowly walked out from behind Yingzheng, her expression was condensed, her eyes seemed to be snowing, and she was chilled at a glance. But it's still beautiful.
"I know you." She said coldly, "Mr. Chu Yao." ”
Chu Yao said: "You are Lu Qianjin? ”
"Yes, I am."
"Where is the peach blossom, I'll take her back."
Lu Qianjin sneered: "No one has ever been able to take away unwilling people from the Qianjin Building. ”
Chu Yao frowned, but didn't say anything. Obviously, he already knew that this was not easy before he came, "I heard that Qianjinlou charges life and fulfills people's wishes, Miss Lu Qianjin, I want to make a deal with you." ”
