Volume 1: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 20: The Promise Under the Spring Moon in the Jade Pavilion

Xiao Yizheng followed the sound of the piano and approached, and saw from a distance that in the Yuyue Pavilion, one person was stroking the qin, one person was standing sideways, the long hair of the person stroking the piano was scattered, blown by the wind, swaying in the air, and his face looked demure and beautiful in the haze.

He stood and listened to the song "Lovesick Sigh", applauded and slowly walked into the Yuyue Pavilion, "Miss Ling, so interested!" ”

Qingxi had just stopped a song, his thoughts were still in the piano, when he heard this sentence at first glance, he looked up and saw someone coming, he was startled, and got up and saluted; "Your Highness is smiling!" I thought to myself, I could really run into it anywhere.

"Why is Miss Ling playing the piano here at this time?"

"I'm going to leave for Shangdu tomorrow, but I've been tossing for the past two days, and I haven't had time to appreciate the moonlight of this Baoding Mountain, and it's also encroached, I thought that this Jade Moon Pavilion is far away from the main hall, and no one should find it." Qingxi said methodically.

"I wonder how the night went?"

"Not bad." She is neither humble nor arrogant.

Xiao Yizheng looked down at the guqin on the table, his eyes were fixed, and he said after a while: "Miss Ling's piano skills are good." As he spoke, he seemed to be about to pluck the strings, but stopped in mid-air, and after a pause, he slowly withdrew his hand, raised his eyes to look at Qingxi, and said with a smile: "It's just that this song "Lovesick Sigh" should be a low sigh and a graceful sigh, and the girl was popped up with a cheerful meaning, is it another interpretation!" ”

He just stared at Qingxi with a smile, wanting to see if she was retorting or docile.

Qingxi is happy, and he is also a person who understands sound, but is he going to embarrass her again?

"Your Highness said yes! The so-called acacia should be an unforgettable feeling. It's just that I don't have such feelings, so naturally I can't play the low sigh and grace in His Highness's mouth. However, the world's lovesickness is not necessarily poignant. ”

"Miss Ling's views are always so unique! I want to hear about it! ”

"Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall because of lovesickness, but this is a kind of power. Zhuo Wenjun wrote Baitou Yin because of lovesickness, but this is a kind of intelligence. Cao Zhi offered Luo Shen because of lovesickness, but this is a kind of affection. It's never poignant, is it? ”

It should be good to be with such a woman for a lifetime, Xiao Yizheng's mind suddenly flashed such a thought, looking at the azaleas fluttering in the wind on the slope outside the pavilion, he smiled and said nothing.

Qingxi saw that he didn't speak, and stood quietly to the side, at this time, retreating was not going in, it was very cold at night, and the mountain wind swept away, she couldn't help but shudder.

"Miss Ling, let's go back early." There was no previous sharpness in his words.

"What about Your Highness?" Qingxi wanted to remind him that he shouldn't suffer from the cold.

"It seems that you shouldn't ask about the whereabouts of this king!" Xiao Yizheng raised his eyebrows, as if he was smiling.

"Your Highness has misunderstood, I want to remind you that it's late at night, and staying outside for a long time is not good for your body." She is not in a hurry.

Xiao Yizheng took a step forward, the two were very close, and there was a faint fragrance in the thin air. "Misunderstanding? Is it? ”

Qingxi's heart was inexplicably tight, but he still said calmly: "Qingxi hopes that His Highness will take care of his health." Maybe I don't have so many rules to speak, but I'm still sincere. ”

"On the top of the main hall, you say: If you return to the truth, you will not be disgraced for life. Do you follow this principle in your life? Xiao Yizheng smiled lowly, "As soon as he said this, the listener felt that he had brought humiliation on himself."

"Your Highness thinks too much!" Qingxi lowered his head and sighed.

Yi Zheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Miss Ling knows that being too good at talking is not necessarily a good thing!" ”

Qingxi bowed his head and was silent, and he couldn't guess Xiao Yizheng's expression at the moment. The moon shadow on the side was beating a drum in her heart, and the young lady knew that she was facing the prince, too, if the girl was respectful and humble today, she would not be her girl!

"Return to the basics, return to the basics," Xiao Yizheng muttered these two sentences, pacing to the edge of the pavilion.

Qingxi raised his head and looked at his back, tall and soft, but with a trace of unguessable nervousness and unease. Did he have anything on his mind?

Xiao Yizheng suddenly turned around, Qingxi didn't have time to dodge, and the eyes of the two met, he, hazy, and she was flustered.

For a moment, the two avoided each other with great tacit understanding, "Have you read "Warring States Policy"? ”

"I have a lot of books at home, and I can read them in my spare time!"

"The reputation of the Ling family's scholarly family is not empty!"

"Your Highness Miao praised!"

Xiao Yizheng looked at her with a rare low eyebrows, but found that bowing her head was a different style! He walked up to Moon Shadow: "You are Miss Ling's personal maid, right?" ”

"Back to the prince, yes!" Although Moon Shadow was pampered by Qingxi, she still understood the rules.

"What's your name?"

"Moon Shadow! The moon shadow on the tip of the moon! ”

"The shadow of the moon is right! Presumably, this is also your girl's fame, right? He looked back at Qingxi, but obviously did not expect her answer, he was very sure, "Moon Shadow, you go to the pavilion to guard, this king has something to say to your girl." ”

Moon Shadow glanced at Qingxi and saw her nod, so she retreated.

Xiao Yizheng raised his hand and gestured, Qingxi understood, stepped forward and stood side by side with him, the mountains in the distance, the petals swaying nearby, the moonlight shining when he looked up, and the skirt flying when he looked down.

"Miss Ling, it's not by chance that I appeared here tonight, but I deliberately looked for the girl, but I didn't want the situation to be so suitable, I think the girl is not a person who is twisting, so I want to tell you openly and honestly about my father's plan!"

Qingxi noticed that he was not calling himself this king, but using "I". She liked this, as if the person in front of her was a friend who could talk to her honestly: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Xiao Yizheng glanced at her sideways, and sure enough, she already knew. He turned his head again and spoke, "I think for the first and last time I will ask the girl what she wants. This incident can also be said to be accidental, and you and I are somewhat helpless. If you don't want to, even the slightest bit of unwillingness, don't force it, I have a way to stop it from happening, and I will handle it well, you can trust me! ”

Qingxi listened quietly, and did not look sideways at the people around him, but his heart was lying together, yes, he has a way out, and he is afraid that he has already thought of a way out. And do you really want to marry? Can it be said that you will not marry? Although these questions have been thought about thousands of times, he is so straightforward at the moment that it makes her rethink this problem.

"What about His Highness's wishes?" Unable to figure it out for a while, Qingxi threw the problem back.

Xiao Yizheng put his hands on the railing, and did not reply for a long time, just when Qingxi felt that he couldn't wait for his answer, he said in a low voice: "Holding hands is not an easy task, it means joys and sorrows, honor and disgrace, and it is not a promise, a promise is sometimes not as good as a one-time payment." ”

Qingxi turned his head sideways and stared at him deeply, the side face of the man in front of him looked so warm at the moment, and his eyes looked into the distance, as if he remembered something, immersed in his emotions. The few words of joy, sorrow, honor and disgrace caused deep ripples in her heart, and instantly aroused the most beautiful imagination.

She frowned slightly, and asked without hesitation, "Can I ask His Highness a few questions?" ”

Her words pulled Xiao Yizheng back from a certain emotion, and he turned to look at her: "Yes." ”

"The person last night was King Guang, right?"

Xiao Yizheng seemed to be puzzled why she asked this, but nodded after thinking about it for a long time.

"The Holy One knows everything about last night, right?"

He nodded again.

"Your Highness asked me to go to that embroidered handkerchief, not for the royal grandma, right?"

Xiao Yizheng's lips gradually put a smile on his lips, and he nodded again.

Qingxi spread his hands: "Your Highness should know that I actually have no room for reluctance." ”

Xiao Yizheng put away his smile and said sincerely: "You have thought about it!" As I said, there are many things that I can solve. ”

Qingxi raised his head, feeling that he didn't have to dwell on those things that had little hope, but he was just asking for trouble, since there was a road in front of him that was good for most people, why not take it? She has always been like this, if she has decided something, she will do it, so she firmly said: "I don't want to." ”

"What?" Xiao Yizheng asked as if he hadn't heard clearly.

"I said, I don't want to!" Qingxi raised a smile and said with relief: "There is nothing wrong with marrying into the Heng Palace, everyone will think that everyone is happy, and I do trust the prince, since God let us appear together that day, there is no need to bother, it is better to accept it calmly, isn't it?" ”

"Hehe, hehe," Yi Zhenglang laughed twice: "The girl does not let the eyebrows sometimes!" ”

"I see it as a compliment." Yun Wan stroked the hair of his ears and temples, "I don't know what His Highness's wishes are?" ”

Xiao Yizheng leaned in his ear and whispered softly: "Just like you!" Then, both of them looked at each other and smiled, laughing heartily.

The moon shadow outside the pavilion looked at all this and felt that such a picture was beautiful, although I don't know what they were talking about, but there was no doubt that the two of them were happy.

Xiao Yizheng looked at her and smiled like a flower, slowly twisted his smile, and said, "We can have another choice." ”
