This year, Ling Zijin completely abandoned the distant and close name and became a cleaning boy in the house of General Zhao Guoda. Although the work of the Chen Mansion is hard and tiring, he finally has a place to live, and he no longer has to worry about food and clothing. Chen Yue often secretly brought him some food to give him, and took advantage of Mrs. Chen's inattention to come to the backyard to find him and chat with him. But basically Chen Yue was talking endlessly, and he sat aside and nodded in agreement.

"Li Sheng, do you think I will be very happy if I live in the palace every day in the future?" Chen Yue sat in the sun with her eyes squinted, her face full of happiness and longing smiles.

Li Sheng was stunned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "No." ”

"You haven't lived in the palace, how do you know it's not good......"

Li Sheng frowned and tilted his head slightly, "I just know it's not good." People say that the palace gate is as deep as the sea. ”

"Huh?" Chen Yue looked at Li Sheng's eyes, making Li Sheng's face flush with shyness, "It's rare to hear you say so much, it seems that you are very interested in the palace!" You're so beautiful, maybe you'll become the male favorite of some prince and minister in the future......"

Li Sheng's expression was cold, and the atmosphere shook Chen Yue away and got up coldly to leave. Male pet ...... He smiled coldly, Chen Guo back then was because his father blindly favored the male pet Ling Yu, listened to slander, and died regardless of the government. Male pet, this is the word he hates to hear the most in his life.

"Li Sheng, I'm just joking, don't be angry!" Chen Yue endured the pain and got up from the ground, crying aggrievedly, she knew that Li Sheng was arrogant in his bones, but she didn't expect such a small joke of hers to make him so angry. Alas, it's so sad, how can I apologize?

"Li Sheng, I brought my favorite osmanthus cake to you."

Li Sheng didn't look at her and continued to sweep the floor.

"Li Sheng, Daddy made a birthday for grandma, invited the troupe, let's go backstage together to see if it's okay?"

Li Sheng still ignored her and silently watered the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Li Sheng, my mother made me new clothes, and also made you a new one, do you look good?"

Li Sheng kept his head down and washed the dishes.

……

Although Li Sheng still ignored him for two months. But Chen Yue never felt angry, she felt that it was her own fault, Li Sheng didn't forgive her, it must be that she didn't do well enough, as long as she didn't give up, he would forgive her one day.

"Li Sheng, my father and mother invited Master to teach me to play the piano, can I play it for you?" Seeing that Li Sheng still ignored her, Chen Yue was not angry, and sat down next to the piano case with a smile. She was playing very hard and seriously, but the music she played was really unrecognizable.

"I really don't understand why the lord and the lady only let you learn this at this time, you play really hard to hear."

"Li Sheng, you ......" Chen Yue's face turned red with shame, and he was just about to refute him, but he was already sitting beside him, surrounding himself in his arms. He played with the strings earnestly, his long eyelashes drooping, and in the sunlight, he looked exceptionally handsome. Smelling the faint fragrance on his body, Chen Yue couldn't help but look stupid.

His slender but slightly pale hand put Chen Yue's little hand on the strings and taught her to play a short tune. "Xiaoyue, the piano should be played like this, what you played just now was really hard to hear."

Chen Yue finally woke up from his shyness and fugue, stared at him and winked, "You may not be much better than me, if you really have the ability, play a song for me to hear." ”

She pretended to be unconvinced and got out of Li Sheng's arms and looked at him defiantly.

Li Sheng smiled lightly, his fingers slid over the strings like flowing water, and a beautiful song echoed in the garden, making people listen to it as if they were fascinated. The beautiful sound of the piano attracted more and more people, and also attracted butterflies to dance around Li Sheng. Everyone fell into this beautiful sound of the piano, but no one knew that every time he played a note, Li Sheng's heart hurt as if he had been stabbed by a knife. Those memories that seem to be a long time ago, the red cherry blossoms that fall from the trees in the wind, his father and mother, the palace people who play with him...... Those scenes appeared in front of his eyes one by one, and the more he played, the more he collapsed.

With a bang, the strings suddenly snapped, and he looked at the blood gushing out of his hands, and a shallow smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

"Fool! Laugh when your hands bleed! Someone is coming, get the medicine box! Chen Yue hurriedly tore off his dress and bandaged Li Sheng, so anxious that he was sweating.

"Little Yue......"

"What's wrong?"

"It's good to know you."

After seeing Li Sheng's peerless piano skills, General Chen hired Li Sheng as Chen Yue's teacher, teaching her poetry, calligraphy, chess and painting, playing the piano and making tea every day.

"Li Sheng, I really didn't expect you to know so much. I heard my mother say that there was a prince named Ling Zijin in Chen Guo before, and his piano skills were unique, and he could even attract a hundred birds. It's just a pity that Chen Guo died, and he died too. ”

Li Sheng suppressed the emotion in his heart and smiled slightly, "Maybe he is really powerful." But if it's gone, it's gone, no one can live forever in someone else's memory, and there will always be someone who will take that person's place. ”

"I will never forget you, and no one can take your place in my life." Chen Yue regretted it a little as soon as he said this, oh my God, it was really embarrassing, how could he say such a thing in front of him.

"Ahem......"

"I mean, in my heart I still like you more than Ling Zijin...... No, I mean I'm not as good as you...... No, I like Ling Zijin, no! I like you. ”

“……”

After hesitating for a while, Li Sheng smiled lightly, with a narrow smile in his eyes, "I understand." ”

"No, it's not what you think!"

"What do I think?"

"Oops! Not like that! ”

"yes, it's not like that, it's like that." Li Sheng forced a smile and looked at him with a serious appearance.

"Li Sheng, you are so bad." Chen Yue glared at her with a red face and shame, her face flushed as if she was about to drip blood.

Li Sheng raised her head, looked at her innocent eyes, and smiled lightly, "Xiaoyue, in fact, I like you too." You like magnolia the most, saying that it is pure and immaculate, and I want to plant magnolia flowers with you in the future. ”

At that time, Li Sheng thought that maybe his life would go on like this, teaching Chen Yue to play the piano and writing poems every day, and staying happily with her every day.

But there was one thing that completely shattered his dream and pulled him back to reality all at once.

In the twenty-fifth year of Zhao Chongxuan, Zhao sent troops to attack Chu State, and in less than a year, one million iron cavalry broke through the palace wall of Chu State. The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king guards the society. The king of Chu led the princes to fight hard with illness, guarding the country until the last moment of their lives. And the princesses and concubines of Chu also swore not to surrender, and they jumped from the high walls of the palace one after another, showing the glory and dignity of a royal family.

Emperor Xuanyuan Che of Zhao greatly appreciated the integrity of the Chu royal family and gave them a state funeral in accordance with the etiquette of Chu. The rest of the nobles who survived were all killed by Xuanyuan Che, and their heads were cut off and hung on the city tower, and all the corpses were thrown to feed the wild dogs.

Li Sheng looked at the head hanging high on the city tower, and his hands and feet were cold. What is the difference between me and them now, it's not all a stealing life. Xuanyuan Che once told the envoys of other countries that the Chen royal family was cowardly and devoid of dignity and dignity. He wants to take revenge, avenge Chen Guo, and let everyone see what Chen Guo's integrity and final glory are.
