Chapter Thirty-Four: Clear Sound Disturbs No Moon
"What the hell are you laughing at?" At the end of the dinner, I escorted the Queen Mother all the way back to Qingyang Palace, and she looked back at me from time to time, as if something was really so funny, which made her laugh all the way.
"Fuyin," she didn't stop laughing, but laughed more and more exaggeratedly, "The mourning family thought you won, but today it seems that you have lost more than the mourning family." ”
I understood what she was saying.
"Hahaha funny, so funny" The laughter entered the Qingyang Palace, the palace door was closed, but the laughter was not closed, and the laughter in the Qingyang Palace echoed throughout the palace.
"County Lord." The guards beside me relieved me and reminded me in a low voice.
"It's fine." I pretended to be calm. "Where's General Huo?"
"Back to the county lord, General Huo has escorted the distinguished guests of various countries back to the palace, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Chaoyang Palace."
I don't even understand what kind of trick Volon is playing. He deliberately showed favor to Nancheng at the banquet today, in front of Xiyi and Beishao, undoubtedly to show that he and Nancheng had a private friendship, and this is nothing more than a naturally reminiscent marriage relationship, he seems to be deliberately giving people a false impression, and it is not a clear answer, which makes people deliberately associate it.
Fu Ang, like a new emperor who is full of accumulation and ready to go, he is slowly growing up, slowly breaking away from anyone's control, he will be an emperor like the first emperor sooner or later.
"No need to go." I saw Huangfu Xuan in Chaoyang Palace**, he didn't look like he had just walked out, but he seemed to have waited for a while, after I greeted him, I was about to walk to Chaoyang Palace, but he stopped me. "Fu Di is resting, I'm waiting for you."
"Hmm." I have thought many times about the attitude that Fu Ang may give him, and I also know that the Huang Fu Xuan that Fu Ang did on his face is naturally clear, but I am very surprised that Huang Fu Xuan will actually cooperate with Fu Ang to do the play. "I'll send you back to the palace."
When Huangfu Xuan heard me say this, he was stunned at first, and then he lowered his head and smiled, the smile was on his face, but he didn't hear the laughter, and it was only a brief moment.
I don't understand where his sudden smile came from. He waved his hand and didn't explain.
At the gate of the palace, Huangfu Xuan bypassed the carriage, but stepped on the horse, and saw that I was standing still and did not move, so he said, "Why don't you get on the horse?" Aren't you going to send me back? ”
I thought he couldn't ride a horse, the Huangfu family has been scholarly for generations, and he gave me the impression that he was like a somewhat weak scholar, naturally not handsome and majestic, and I was really surprised when I saw him riding a horse for the first time.
He seemed to understand what I was going to say, but he didn't answer or answer, but he also smiled lightly and pulled the reins and walked forward, and I turned on my horse and led people to follow.
"The Huangfu family, to my father, has always been a literati, but I am different, my father understands where Nancheng is weak, so he has never let me fall behind in my homework since I was a child." He described the training of an emperor in a way that was not as impersonal as it had been when we first met many years later, and I realized that I didn't know him well enough. He suddenly turned around, but he bumped into my puzzled expression, but he just said, "Ask." You should have questions to ask me before you will accompany me through this paragraph. ”
"So," I hesitated, "what did Von tell you?" ”
"Sure enough." His sentence was not like a sigh of guessing what I was going to ask, but like helplessness, because I really had to ask something to accompany him on this road. But he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, "Fu Ang cares about you very much, between me and Huo Yu, he chose Huo Yu, and between Yu Wenzheng and me, he chose me." ”
I immediately understood, his words had clearly understood the meaning of Fu Ang.
"What about you?" In the moment when I was stunned, Huangfu Xuan asked.
"What?" I was a little confused about the point of his question.
"It's fine." He turned his head again, as if he hadn't said anything. "I'll be back to Nancheng tomorrow, you"
"Wait a minute." I happened to pass by Mingyue Tower, I just glanced at it casually, and found that someone seemed to be making trouble outside Mingyue Tower, I heard some of them shouting Shen Yi's name, so I had to temporarily suspend the chat with Huangfu Xuan, and took the lead in getting off the horse, "What's the matter!" ”
"Oh, this lord." The proprietress didn't know my identity, I was dressed like this man every time, and I came with Huo Yu, she saw me like a savior, pulled my sleeve and said to the three or four gangsters who were making trouble, "He is a friend of General Huo, if you make trouble here again, if General Huo knows that you are harassing Miss Shen, he will definitely lock you up." ”
I kind of understood, but I also had to relieve Shen Yi from this siege, "General Huo just escorted Xiyi and other VIPs back to the palace, and he will come over soon, you are making trouble here, I don't know why?" ”
"This" The person who took the lead in making trouble was a little panicked, and he didn't want to eat this, so he pretended to continue, "Who knows if you are the person next to General Huo, maybe you are bluffing us." ”
"Looks like you're not convinced?" I raised my eyebrows, I held back for so many days, I have a rare opportunity to loosen my muscles and bones, Huo Yu's favor is owed to me.
Punch, palm, I deliberately sent his fist forward, his whole body weightless fell behind me, I pulled back his collar, pulled his whole person out of the bright moon building, raised his legs, and kicked over the little gangster who rushed up with a leg, but he still carried his collar, like a chick in his hand, did not affect me at all to turn over and avoid, the fist of others came on, both hands were forceful, and he jumped over his shoulder, in order to cover his ears and thunder, he counterattacked on the chest of others with his elbow, Kicked out more than ten steps.
Solved the thugs, turned around, and grabbed the throat of the man under him with one hand. "Remember, the girl in Shenyi in Mingyue Tower is not someone you can afford to provoke, get out."
"Oh, I'm glad I met you." Seeing a few thugs fleeing, the proprietress timidly came to me, "Otherwise, they would have smashed my Mingyue Tower today." ”
"It's okay." Since it was solved, I was going to leave, and when I looked up, I saw Huangfu Xuan sitting on his horse from afar and looking at this qiē, as if he was smiling.
"Alas, alas, alas, you come and sit, it can be regarded as a rest, Shen Yi knows that you are the one who relieved the siege, no, please go up and have a cup of tea." Although the proprietress said so, she was obviously afraid that the group just now would come back to retaliate.
"I still have friends waiting for me." I motioned for her to see Huangfu Xuan, but when I used the word friend to describe him, I hesitated a little, and my relationship with him probably can't be explained by the word friend.
"It's okay." When Huang Fuxuan heard this, he turned over and dismounted to greet him, "I heard that Mingyue Tower was famous earlier, so I wanted to come and see it, but I happened to meet a friend yesterday and almost missed it." Oh? ”
He deliberately accentuated the word friend when he said it.
I could only laugh with him, though I knew that he was talking about me.
"Is this Mingyue Tower also under the protection of King Ning's Mansion? I don't know how much tax you pay every month to bother you to personally fight those thugs. When he went upstairs, Huangfu Xuan seemed to be deliberately provoking.
I turned around and glared at him.
"Do you do that to your friends?" It wasn't until he sat down, the proprietress went out and brought the door, Huang Fu Xuan looked left and right at the scene, and he said this very suddenly, just like he was full of doubts now.
I didn't understand what he meant, what is the relationship between the two?
"What do you mean by that?"
"I heard that Shen Yi is Huo Yu's woman." Huang Fu Xuan paused for a long time before he said this, and unlike before, Huang Fu Xuan lost his smile, he was very strict, and he seemed to be a little angry.
Shen Yi is Huo Yu's woman, although this sentence is not entirely true, but it seems that everyone has admitted the truth of this matter, I have not corrected him, and I do not plan to do it. "So what?"
"Are you taking care of her with the attitude of a proper room? Take care of, General Huo's woman outside? He grabbed my wrist with great force, and his eyes were full of shameful smiles, disdain, and some feelings that I couldn't explain for the time being, as if to say that I was willing to guard such a man who was absent from me.
"Miss Shen, is my bosom friend." I didn't want to explain too much, and after saying this, I tried to withdraw my hand, but the answer didn't satisfy him. "What the hell do you want to know?"
"Looks like I didn't come at the right time." Shen Yi stood at the door, smiling lightly.
"It's fine." I struggled hard to break free from Huang Fuxuan's grasp. "Is there a new tune to listen to today? General Huo may be very busy today, so I'll be cheap first, okay? ”
Shen Yi leaned over, her gaze swept over me and Huangfu Xuan, but she just nodded quietly, "Okay." If it weren't for you today, I don't know how long that group of people would be entangled, and if you play a song for you, you should exchange your promise that you won't tell General Huo about today's events. ”
I was slightly stunned. Shen Yiying got up and sat behind the veil, and the sound of the piano rose leisurely.
"Sit." I motioned for Huangfu Xuan to take a seat. "What do you think?"
"Stunning beauty." Huangfu Xuan glanced behind the veil and looked away, he made no secret of his praise for Shen Yi, and then sat opposite me, "Huo Yu will be obsessed with her, not surprised." ”
When I heard this answer, I also felt so, and when I saw Shen Yi for the first time, I thought the same way, and I sat down with it, "Isn't your statement sarcastic to me?" ”
Huangfu Xuan looked away, as if he had something to explain, but he didn't speak.
"Forget it. Actually, you are mistaken. I looked at the veil, and the sound of the piano came into my ears, and I suddenly felt open-minded, and the moon and stars were scarce, "Huo Yu and me, and brothers." He and Shen Yi are a couple, I won't disturb their relationship, and I will save some obstacles for them with my ability, Huo Yu is a very good man, but he is not the one who is suitable for me, if there must be a sacrifice in the power struggle, then it would be good to be alone. ”
"But Fuon intends to give you to him."
"Unfortunately, I'm not an obedient person." Volon's thoughts may still be there, but my attitude is obvious, he should know that I will not agree. "I envy the relationship between Huo Yu and Shen Yi, in such a troubled world, when power and interests blind everyone's eyes, but they can still care about each other, when Shen Yi looks at Huo Yu, her eyes are very simple and persistent, when Huo Yu looks at Shen Yi, it is very clean and distressed. That kind of feeling is something that people like you will never understand. ”
Looking at only one person's persistence, what if there is no world.
"For you, two people together are more important than the hegemony of the world?" He may not really understand that feeling, living in the walls of the palace, how can there be feelings in his world.
"Do you like someone?" I asked him.
He pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Have you ever loved someone?" I asked him again.
Huangfu Xuan thought for a long time, and he asked slowly, "What's the difference?" ”
"It's different." I explained, "If I like someone, it's him, I'm happy, and if I love someone, it's good for him, even without me, I'm happy." Like is to get, and love is to give, maybe like a thing can't get, you will be sad, but love, will make you obsessed with guarding, like will give up, but love will stick, no interests, no transactions, no reason, just simply like, feel that seeing his whole world is different, when you hear what someone is saying, you will think of him for the first time. ”
"Is this how you feel about him?" Obviously, the person in Huangfu Xuan's mouth is not Huo Yu, but Yu Wenzheng, he is asking tentatively, a little careful.
"More than that, deeper." I was silent for a long time, and all the memories flashed before me like fragments.
"I'm starting to regret it a little."
Huang Fu Xuan's brainless words made me a little puzzled, and I had to turn my eyes to look at him, only to find that he was looking at me, "When you proposed to borrow troops, although I avoided it with an excuse. But now, it seems that I regret it a little. ”
What does that mean? If you regret not lending me troops in the first place, "then if it were now, you probably wouldn't have lent me soldiers." ”
"Maybe." Did he admit it? Even if at such a moment, he regretted it a little, but if it happened again, he probably wouldn't change his choice. "But, Fuyin, I was touched by you, and I started to like you a little bit."
"This" was a surprise to me.
"However, feelings are not for me. I may like you, but I can't do the kind of love you say, I know too well what I have to do and how to do it. You can rest assured. ”
"yes." I understood what he meant, "You are the king of a country, of course your country is the most important, you may like me, just like you like any woman in your **, you are very sensible, which I admire you very much, but, I and other women may only be temporary likes for you, maybe what I said touched you, but it is inevitable that you like it for a limited time." ”
Huangfu Xuan smiled silently, and it can be regarded as acknowledging my answer.
I also think that his calmness is very rare, but fortunately, he did not go to the most extreme step, so that everyone could not even be friends. If I had his sanity, I wouldn't have been so badly defeated.
