Cai Wei took the bag back to her bedroom, although she lay on the bed early, how could she sleep peacefully, but she kept rubbing the jade pendant, thinking gloomily about her heart, and she didn't know how many tears she spilled, until the fourth watch did she fall asleep. She slept for a while, and on the fifth watch, before dawn, she woke up again.

She thought about it all night, but still didn't know where to go, and sat in front of the window for a long time, the more she thought about it, the more depressed she was, and saw that the sky had been slightly exposed, so she simply went out lightly, and saw that the courtyard door had been opened, thinking that she would not meet anyone when she went out at this time, so she told the two little maids guarding the door that she wanted to go to the garden alone to relax, so she went to the garden alone.

She only thought about her thoughts, because her mind did not belong, and she did not pay attention to the path in the garden, but walked along, and before she knew it, she followed the path of yesterday, walked into the bamboo forest, and then walked to the edge of the pond in the bamboo forest.

Cai Wei looked at the Liubi Pavilion in the pool, remembering what Zeng Yi said to her in this pavilion yesterday, and tears suddenly fell in her eyes. She didn't turn around and leave, but stepped onto the bamboo bridge, walked to the pavilion again, stood by the railing, looked at the pair of jade and jade pendants in her hand, and muttered to herself: "Should I return your things to the original owner, or just refuse to return him, without this heirloom, how do I think he can marry a new person?" ”

But after thinking about it, what if she just refused to return the token and resolutely refused to agree to the request to withdraw from the marriage?

Although the concubine said that as long as she asks for something, she will definitely make the decision for her, but the concubine and His Royal Highness King Yingchuan are already in a delicate situation, and they don't have half of the authority in their hands, how can they compete with the ministers who are in power?

is able to fight on the basis of reason, relying on Concubine Yingchuan to support her, and still let Zeng Yi marry her, but is such a forced marriage really what she wants?

Even though she and Zeng Yi were in love before, but after going through so much, if the two of them are together again, I am afraid that they will not be able to make a good couple, and they will only become a pair of resentful couples. Even though the concubine can help her marry Zeng Yi, she has no power and cannot interfere in local government affairs, and she may not be able to help Zeng Yi get justice from his second uncle.

If Zeng Yi can't get justice, his mother and son will be dissatisfied with him because of this, and if his great-aunt dies with regret because of this, then he will no longer be the person he liked in Zeng Yi's eyes, but an enemy and sinner who spoiled him and caused him to be unable to fulfill his filial piety! At that time, what else did the two of them talk about harmony and love?

It's better to simply fulfill him, and let him feel guilty about her for a lifetime.

However, although she thought clearly before and after, she still held the pair of jade pendants in her hand, and felt heartache at the thought of returning them to Zeng Yi. After all, Zeng Yi was the first man in her life who was moved by emotion and love, and when she received the picture of the bandit stone he sent, she was sincerely willing to promise him life and death.

It's easy to return this token to him, just say to the concubine and someone will send it for her, but how can the piece of sincerity and affection she has paid be cut off lightly, sorted out, and recovered?

What's more, in the past three years, whenever she has been wronged in Uncle Anyuan's mansion and has been counted by others, she has always comforted herself that as long as she is married to her great-brother, she will get better, she will have a home of her own again, and she will no longer have to live a life of forbearance under the fence. In her heart, she has vaguely regarded marrying her great-brother as her only destination.

But who knows, after three years of hard work, she finally got through it, and she could talk about marriage, but the lover who should have come to marry her was going to marry another woman.

It is easy to agree to withdraw from the marriage, and she also hopes that Zeng Yi can get back the justice he deserves, but who should she entrust her future life? How long will she still have to endure in Nabo's Mansion before she can have a home of her own?

When Cai Wei thought of this, she felt irrepressible pain in her heart, and wanted to let out a loud cry and simply cry it, but her years of upbringing made her unable to cry so unreservedly in other people's houses, so she still covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, crying whimpering, shortness of breath and choking.

She was crying sadly, when she suddenly heard a whimpering sound, which was lingering at first, like resentment, and people couldn't help but think of all kinds of joys and emotions when they fell in love for the first time.

is sighing and thinking, the sound of the flute has turned clear, such as crying and complaining, like the cuckoo crying blood, Xiang Concubine shedding tears, and evoking the pain of parting and emotional sadness in people's hearts.

Cai Wei was even more touched by the sound of the flute, and only cared about the feelings, mourning, pain, suffering, resentment, and sorrow in the song, and unconsciously stopped her own whimpering, leaning on the railing and listening in a daze, tears traced down.

The more I listened, the more I felt that the sound of the flute became more and more sad and sad, and I saw that I was already sad, only the aftersound was lingering, not never wisps, after a low groan, it was finally inaudible, just like the peach blossoms scorching and finally blown away by the rain and wind, and no one took the dust......

Cai Wei was touched by the sound of this song, only to feel that the world was also changing color, and in her eyes, whether it was the crimson sky of the rising sun, or the turquoise pond, or the verdant bamboo, they were all gray in her eyes, all of which were full of sadness that was lonely to the bone.

When he was desperate, suddenly the sound of the flute started again, and the clear sound flowed, like vibranium jade, and the sound of the clouds and nights. The sound of flapping wings was gradually heard in the air, and I saw countless birds and birds flying from the southeast and northwest, or low swirling water, or soaring up and down, the feathers were colorful, like a turning cry, and the sound of the guan seemed to be in harmony with the sound of the flute, which was a spectacle.

If you look closely, you can see that the birds not only chirp to the sound of the flute, but also fly back and forth in the air and hover low in circles, as if they are dancing in the air with the flute song.

Cai Wei only cared about the hundred birds and the song and dance, and unconsciously stopped crying, only to feel that her heart was also taken from the bottom of the valley to the nine heavens of the clouds. It turns out that at the end of the fog, there is no cave, the red sun rises in the east, fragrant flowers are everywhere, the fairy music is fluttering, and the birds are dancing, which makes people linger in the meantime, forget their worries, only feel a qiē sadness and sorrow in their hearts, all of them are empty, their hearts are clear and empty, peaceful and joyful, and then worry-free!

I don't know how much time passed, until Mama Wen found this bamboo forest, she suddenly woke up from the sound of the flute, only to find that the sound of the flute had stopped for some time, the birds had dispersed, the tears on her face had dried early, but she was still trapped in the aftermath and could not extricate herself.

Seeing her looking around blankly, Mama Wen asked, "Miss Zhou, what are you looking for?" ”

"Xiao Sheng, Mama Wen, you didn't hear the sound of the flute when you came over, the sound of the flute is really good, and it has attracted a lot of birds to chirp together!"

Mama Wen paused for a moment and said with a smile: "When I came over, it was quiet in this bamboo forest, where did the sound of the flute come from?" Girl, come back with me, the concubine is waiting to have breakfast with you!" ”

Cai Wei suddenly felt a little apologetic, and while following her back, she said: "I just ran out alone, and the tired concubine and grandma are worried about me!" ”

"Girl, don't blame yourself, no matter how the girl goes, she is also in this palace, she can't lose it, our concubine is just worried that you will go back late, and you can't eat on time, for fear of hurting your appetite!"

Cai Wei knew that Mama Wen said something just to ease her heart, and she suddenly felt a little warm in her heart, and remembered the gentle sound of the flute just now, so she asked, "Mama Wen, is there anyone in this palace who is very good at blowing the flute?" ”

Mama Wen hesitated for a moment and said: "If you want to say that the person who is the best at blowing the flute in our palace is His Royal Highness the King of the County, because he has been infected with lung disease since he was a child, the concubine Niangniang went everywhere to seek medical advice for his disease." Later, he asked a famous guide who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and he also said that His Royal Highness's disease was extremely incurable, but he taught His Highness a set of breathing and breathing methods and a set of flute scores, and taught him to use warm jade to make a tube of hole flute, and to blow this song every day to practice qi and nourish the lungs. ”“

"The concubine is willing to do anything for His Royal Highness, so she went to the Holy Heaven to find a rare piece of warm jade with tentacles and warmth, and found a famous craftsman to make a tube of warm jade flute for our Royal Highness to practice qi every day. His Royal Highness is smart by nature, and he is good at music and rhythm from this jade flute, and sometimes when he is interested, he will improvise a song by himself. Once the concubine celebrated her birthday, he played a song "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" for the concubine, which attracted many birds to chirp with his flute song, and they were still flying in front of the concubine, which was very beautiful! ”

It's just that after that, the concubine didn't allow His Royal Highness to blow this song again to attract a hundred birds, first, it was too exhausting to blow this song, which was not good for him, and secondly, it was too ostentatious, for fear that it would not be good to spread out.

"It seems that the person who played the song just now must be His Royal Highness King Yingchuan! Only a transcendent character like him can play such a fairy-like tune. Cai Wei couldn't help but think, "It's just that I just overheard him playing a tune, or is this tune deliberately played for himself?" ”

If he deliberately blew this song for himself, Cai Wei always felt a little incredulous, but if it just happened that he was also playing the flute near here, then why did the song he just played actually implicitly fit his own heart, and at the end, he used the flute sound to resolve the sadness in his heart and make himself suddenly enlightened?

Whether he intended to relieve himself or it was a coincidence, Cai Wei was grateful to this highness in her heart and wanted to thank him, but she didn't see him for the rest of the day, and when he came to greet the concubine, she happened to be not by the concubine's side.

However, the king of Linchuan actually came over again, saying that he had destroyed a thing for the distinguished guests in the house yesterday, and he came to send something to chat to make amends, and after saying that, he threw down a thing and left. Cai Wei hid behind the screen, and when she saw him leaving, she came out, and when she saw the thing in the concubine's hand, she was immediately happy and angry.

Happily, the jade phoenix that her father gave her was finally recovered, and the angry thing is that this Qin Fei burned her dowry list, and she was embarrassed to compensate her with her things, which is really shameless!

She was scolding in her heart, but she suddenly remembered that she didn't say that this jade phoenix was hers yesterday, that is to say, Qin Fei didn't know that he took her things to compensate her, the so-called "those who don't know are not guilty", but he can't be blamed. Xu saw that he wanted this jade phoenix yesterday, so he sent it over.

The concubine was also slightly surprised when she saw this jade phoenix, and when she saw Cai Wei coming out, she asked her, "Isn't this jade phoenix carved by your father for you?" How could it be in Fei'er's hands? ”

Cai Wei didn't realize that the concubine also knew that this jade phoenix was hers, and she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell the reason why this jade phoenix was first stolen by Aunt Liu in the Nabo Mansion, then taken by her son, and finally fell into Qin Fei's hands.

When the concubine heard this, she couldn't help but ponder for a long time, and faintly thought of something, but she was not sure, so she put the matter aside first, and said to Cai Wei: "You were stolen in that mansion, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"It's always in my grandmother's house, it doesn't matter how others treat me, my grandmother always treats me well, if I tell you, won't I embarrass my grandmother and her old man!"

The concubine sighed: "You child! Since this jade phoenix has finally returned to you this time, it's okay, but if there is a second time, you are not allowed to hide it from me! ”

Cai Wei hurriedly agreed, took the jade phoenix back to her room, rubbed for a long time, and finally unscrewed the phoenix, wanting to take out the bandit stone picture hidden in it again to take a look, how do you know that when you open it, the jade phoenix's belly is empty, where is there the roll of white yarn she hides inside?
