This apse is very deserted. On this big night, there are few candles. Even palace people are extremely rare. This is in stark contrast to the Golden Hall in the front nave.

Li Chengji stood for a while, and then he was a little excited. Then he turned his back and tried to leave. But he didn't want to, and a few faint soft moans suddenly came into his ears. Listen softly, and it looks like someone is singing in a low voice.

With curiosity, Li Chengji followed the voice. When you turn the back hall, there is a small pond in front of you. Due to the climate, the ponds do not contain the daffodils and lotus flowers that are common in the Central Plains.

"People call me Aina, the poet Ayina · Play the dongbula, the dongbula... As soon as Li Chengji heard it, he knew that this was when he was in Zhang's Mansion earlier. In order to arouse Zhang Zhiqin's vinegar, the Kazakh folk song that was specially sung to Ayina - Mayila.

It's just that the name was changed to Aina. It is to the effect that Ayina was born beautiful and intelligent, and has a beautiful singing voice. When she sang it at that time, Zhang Zhiqin was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

So much so that for nearly half a month, he didn't say a word to Li Chengji. Ayina blushed and didn't know how to speak.

Because he was singing and playing, Li Chengji didn't care. Unexpectedly, someone actually memorized this song. Thinking of this apse again, Li Chengji had vaguely guessed who this person was.

I followed the path by the pond to a domed pavilion.

Then he saw a figure facing the moon with his back to him. A cold glow poured down, dragging a long solitary shadow on the ground.

As if thinking of something, the tune that was still high just now suddenly sank.

"I am Puhua girl, named Aina, and the four sides of the white handkerchief are embroidered with roses...", in the rhythm, there is a bit of sadness and sadness.

Li Chengji also instantly moved. For today's banquet, he originally wanted to invite Ayina to go. But for the sake of fame, I finally gave up.

In the end, Aina is the daughter of Sadr, nominally, the owner of this Sadr palace. If Li Chengji lets her go to the banquet, then when the time comes, how should she explain her identity to others.

Despite this problem, it is actually quite well solved. As long as Li Chengji marries Aina, then it is justified to take over the Sadr Palace and control Puhua. It is also of great benefit to subdue the old officials of the Sadr line.

Even the Dikhkans of Puhua City (the collective name for the nobility in Central Asia, from the village chief, the lieutenant chief, to the king, can be called this name) can be subdued in the shortest possible time.

But Lee Seung-ji didn't do it!

One is Aina, who is a very devout Muslim. This made Li Chengji instinctively a little disliked. Second, he doesn't want to get married yet. It is also with the thinking habits of later generations, which makes him feel that it is too early to get married at the age of eighteen.

Of course, he wasn't convinced either. Li Shichang, a cheap father, will agree to him marrying a Muslim.

So when the official Diwan Musa Alzimi suggested this to him, he refused without even thinking about it.

Somehow, this matter reached Aina's ears, and she secretly cried for a long time. Although Li Chengji knew, he had to harden his heart.

After all, I can't do my own business.

Just as he was thinking about this, a scolding voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Where are the disciples who are watching here?" , Li Chengji immediately secretly said that it was broken, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Aina, who was immersed in grief, also immediately stopped singing and turned around in some fright.

Although the moonlight is not clear, Ayina remembers Li Chengji's figure clearly. With a little hesitation, he said, "Young Master?!" ”。 This is what Li Chengji calls him in private.

It was only after becoming the governor of Khorasan that the honorific title of 'young master' was rarely heard.

Li Chengji didn't have the intention to hide it, so he nodded and said loudly: "Hmm! ”。 Then he turned around and said to the maid who scolded him, "Ben Du has drunk some wine and come here for a walk." I don't want to ---", and was about to explain, when he suddenly remembered that he was the owner of this place. Then he stopped talking and looked at the maid.

"It was the governor, and the slave and maid thought that he was a disciple who was not long-eyed." The maid took a few steps forward with a lantern and a shawl. After seeing Li Chengji's appearance, he suddenly explained a little playfully.

It is also Li Chengji who treats his subordinates generously on weekdays, so the maid is not honestly afraid. However, if you hear about Li Chengji's murder in the palace, you will definitely be afraid of him.

This feeling of closeness made Li Chengji's slightly annoyed mind dilute a little. In words, there was more warmth: "Well! What's your name? ”。

"The slave's name is Sihua." , Li Chengji asked the Ministry of Rites Di Wan to formulate the etiquette, including court etiquette. The names of these people have also been unified. All men are called smaller, and all women are called slaves.

Because he is a subordinate, he can be called a house slave. Therefore, it is relatively simple to formulate. Di Wan of the Ministry of Rites learned about the habits of the Han people in Li Chengji, and deliberately borrowed the title of the Han people.

Li Chengji can see this careful thinking. He specially rewarded some precious objects, which made Di Wan of the Ministry of Rites very happy.

Some secretaries and yamen chiefs have also learned about Li Chengji's preference for Han rites. In order to gain favor, some people even wore Han Chinese costumes.

Li Chengji sees these changes in his eyes and is happy in his heart.

"Sihua?" , When he heard the maid's name, Li Chengji was a little surprised.

The young lady said that the Tang poem "Jin Se" that the governor had read was very meaningful. Then he took the word "Sihua" of "one Xuan and one pillar Sihua year" and gave it to the slave maid. ”。

Lee Seung-ji immediately remembered. Once when I was against Zhang Zhiqin and their poems, I read this Tang poem. It is not only out of remembrance of the years, but also a sigh for the land of the Western Regions that is no longer the old appearance of China.

And for a while, he was temperamental, and explained the word 'Sihua' repeatedly, which is a reminiscence of the homeland of China. Listening to the ears of Zhang Zhiqin and others, they only thought that Li Chengji was a remembrance of the homeland of Daliao. It's just that in Li Shangyin's poems, 'Sihua' is not a separate word. The original meaning was just to reminisce about the years.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything.

Sihua thought that he had touched Li Chengji's heart, and he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with himself.

Ayina behind her suddenly said with a little resentment: "Governor, don't you like the slave family?" ”。 Zhang Zhiqin is in front of Li Chengji, and she likes to call herself a slave the most. Aina watched and learned.

"I ----". Lee Seung-ji didn't know how to explain. After all, he can't speak, because you're a Muslim, and I hate your words.
