Recommended companion track "AmazingGrace Hum Version"
For several days, the weather in the Sacred Capital was a little gloomy, and the autumn wind mixed with the cold and desolate smell ushered in the misty snow early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xinlan stood elegantly on a meadow next to the cold plum tree, her delicate figure standing against the light, her eyes seemed to be staring into the distance.
Traditionally, from morning to noon, she would practice her dancing skills, increase her physical fitness or do targeted basic training.
Today, however, it seems that Xinlan does not intend to do such things.
She just stood indifferently under the plum tree, with a velvet shawl hanging from her arms and wrists, a long holy dress that was spotless, and a multicolored headband between her long braids that hung down to her calves.
Today was the first snow in the Sacred City, and it was also her birthday, and she stood there for a long time, as if waiting for someone.
Sure enough, the figure in the blue robe suddenly appeared, he strode forward, and played with a jade flute in his hand, his idle and elegant appearance looked like a cynical and bohemian son.
Xinlan slowly closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth quietly curved slightly.
Even if no one in the world remembered her birthday, she would be convinced that Sein remembered.
The sky was vast with a pale orange glow, and white snowflakes fell from the sky, occasionally sporadically on the face, but they did not feel cold, just like a dragonfly dotting water, and then, a smile appeared on the beautiful and dusty face.
"Do you do this every day, in such a good mood?" Sain stood among the pavilions not far away, a noble and elegant pale blue brocade robe, the silky fabric of which could not even be stained by flying snow.
Princess Xinlan was not surprised by his arrival, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a gentle and slow voice sounded, "Not really, just as you like." ”
"It's really rare to be in the palace and have this good mood every day." Sain played with the jade flute in his hand, and the string of red tassels flew between the greenery.
The two ends of the jade flute are inlaid with gilt hollow carvings, which look extremely elegant and exquisite, and his fingers seem to have magical power, no matter how the piccolo is flipped, it will never get out of his control.
"It's nothing more than pleasure in suffering." Xinlan lifted the hem of her skirt and walked in the direction of Sain.
With his arms around his chest, Sain watched her walk with a light gait, "What a joy in suffering, you are a natural dancer, but what kind of mood do dancers usually have?" ”
Her beautiful and pure face suddenly flashed a touch of gloom, and she said lightly: "No matter how beautiful the dance is, it can only be regarded as a means of making a living and gaining a foothold, and the dance of the heart is only performed in the dancer's heart." ”
A look of surprise appeared on Sain's handsome face, and his long and graceful figure moved, and he saluted her, "Although it is a little late to talk about it now, I still want to thank you, thank the princess for the dance she presented me at the bonfire celebration, it is very beautiful and moving!" ”
Xinlan's smile faded, and her voice was a little cooler, "I'm afraid someone has already seized the opportunity." ”
There was a wry smile on Sain's lips, and he said with some interest: "Behind the thrilling dance, there are little-known secrets, so don't mention it." ”
Princess Xinlan's gaze looked at the rippling water, which couldn't help but make her a little distracted, for a long time, she slowly turned her gaze and looked up at him, "Zhengwei seems to take care of that mermaid princess very much......"
Sain smiled as if he had suddenly remembered something, and he raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment.
"Are you friend or foe with her?" He asked, as if casually.
Xinlan replied without hesitation: "Naturally, they are friends. ”
A faint hint of interest flashed in Sain's eyes, "You don't seem to be a person who likes to make friends?" ”
Xinlan pondered for a moment, and said with a bit of pleading, "...... She is a very good girl, please Your Majesty, the general, and the political minister do not embarrass her! ”
There was a hint of doubt between Sain's eyebrows, "Do you know her?" ”
Xinlan pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking, "...... She once saved my life. ”
Sain's cynical smile suddenly disappeared, and he asked with a serious face, "When was it?" ”
Xinlan's deep eyes rippled with a layer of water, "I'm sorry, this may be the bottom line between friends, the scar buried deep in my heart...... I don't want to uncover it just yet. She politely declined.
Sain's expression was stunned, with a smile still on his face, and his voice was as warm as jade, "I have no intention of annoying you today. ”
Xinlan glanced at him apologetically and whispered softly, "Are they all gone?" ”
"If you're talking about Prince Kieran, he left a few days ago."
Hearing this, Xinlan secretly sighed.
How could he not guess what Essaen knew about Xinlan, and he gently persuaded: "There are some things that can be solved by escaping. Bee disease cannot be an excuse for your whole life, you will have to see your loved ones sooner or later. ”
"Relatives?" Xinlan smiled bitterly, and said in a desolate voice: "They abandoned me first...... What's wrong with the excuse of bee disease, wasn't it because of this disease that I was sent to the Holy City when I was very young? ”
Xinlan's crony fluttered in the wind, and she added: "Because of the bee disease, my eyes have changed their original color, and every time the bee disease attacks, countless soybean-sized herpes will grow on the skin, and when the bee disease occurs, I am very likely to transmit this toxin to others...... It was because of such appalling statements that no one dared to visit me anymore! ”
Xinlan laughed self-deprecatingly, but her eyes were silent and sad.
Sain unconsciously frowned, his thin lips pursed into a line, "If you don't take the initiative to open your heart, no one will be able to walk in!" In the future, I will send someone to announce that your bee disease has been cured. ”
Xinlan hurriedly interrupted him, her eyes were eager and chaotic, "Please don't do this!" ”
Sain's eyes were condensed, faintly flowing with the ripples of the pool water, "I don't want you to affect your life because of the excuse of bee disease!" ”
The bitter smile on Xinlan's face was even worse, and her lips were slightly pale when she pursed her lips slightly, "If there was no such excuse as bee disease, how would I be able to live to this day?" Tears swirled in her obsidian eyes.
Sain sighed lightly, a touch of pity flashing across his eyes, "One day, you'll learn to forgive!" ”
A coldness suddenly flashed in her soft eyes, "Why should I forgive?" The guilty deserve to be punished, don't they...... Whoever she is? ”
Xinlan shows the world that she will always show her beautiful blue heart, as well as her charming and smart fairy-like dancing, and her holiness and weakness are obvious to all.
But Sain could always see in her a kind of arrogance, an indomitable tenacity and stubbornness, and an unspeakable ...... Deep hatred!
Sain's face was still calm and composed, maintaining the style of a humble gentleman, he looked at her sad but bright and moving face, and gently persuaded: "Sometimes, letting go is liberation. ”
Xinlan shook her head resolutely, her eyes filled with tears, "Have you ever tasted the feeling of being reluctant to survive?" ”
