Chapter Twenty-Six: Confidantes
It was already late to descend from the temple in the deep mountains, and Chen Shuozhen did not follow Zhu Mingyang and them down the mountain, but stayed in the temple. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the sunset, the afterglow shone on the ground, Zhu Mingyang and Wu Zetian walked on the country road, leaving a long shadow behind them. Unknown wildflowers bloom on both sides of the path, exuding a charming fragrance, a few dragonflies fluttering in the air in the sunset, and a few bird calls occasionally come from the green hills in the distance, which is a pleasant pastoral picture.
"Zhu Gongzi! Thank you so much today for accompanying me on such a long journey! Wu Zetian said coquettishly.
"No thanks, we're friends, aren't we?" Zhu Mingyang thought that the world would be the woman in front of him in the future, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, at least he had a pastoral encounter with her.
"Zhu Gongzi, can you talk to me!" Wu Zetian pointed to a green meadow on the side of the road.
"This ......" Zhu Mingyang hesitated, because he remembered Cuicui in the inn, and now Cuicui should have brought the meal to the table and waited for him to go home.
"Master Zhu, you have already walked so far with me, and you won't care about accompanying me for a while." Wu Zetian's eyes showed that begging gaze again.
"Alright! But don't delay too long! Zhu Mingyang was once again impressed by this gaze, and crossed his knees on a clean grass, and Wu Zetian also sat down opposite him.
"Zhu Gongzi, do you know! Actually, I didn't want to convert to any denomination. Wu Zetian took off the monk's hat on her head, her black hair was as black as a waterfall, and the sunset shone on her delicate cheeks so beautifully, Zhu Mingyang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Well, don't you have something to hide?" It took a long time for Zhu Mingyang to come back to his senses.
"Brother Zhu, do you have a sweetheart?" Wu Zetian suddenly asked such a question.
"I, I ......" so suddenly, Zhu Mingyang didn't know how to answer. In the past, the conditions at home were not good, and Zhu Mingyang never even held the girl's hand once. Although I'm with Cuicui now, I don't know what Cuicui thinks in her heart, and I don't know when she will suddenly go back, or if it's a wonderful and fantastic dream.
"It seems that Brother Zhu also has his own secrets. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you have a sweetheart or not, the important thing is that you love each other deeply, but you can't be together. Even if the two are separated by a wall, there is room for hatred, which is the saddest thing. A hint of sadness flowed across his heroic face.
"Don't you know the talents of the first emperor?" Zhu Mingyang thought of Li Shimin, who had passed away not long ago.
"Let me tell you the truth, although I am a talented person of the first emperor, but I have not been married to the first emperor, the first emperor treated me very well, and has always treated me as his own daughter, I was only fourteen years old when I entered the palace, and I stayed in the emperor for twelve years. Time has witnessed me from the cardamom years to the years of Jiji, to the years of jasper, and finally to the present, only he has accompanied me. I still remember that in the back garden, he personally picked the peony and put it on for me, and I don't know if I will see him again in this life. Saying that, Wu Zetian's eyes were blurred.
"Wait, can you tell me who he is?" The more Zhu Mingyang listened, the more confused he became, you must know that Wu Zetian was Li Shiming's talent, and Li Shiming was the emperor before he died! Who dares to dig into the corner of the emperor's wall and cuckold the emperor, is he tired of living?
"Zhu Gongzi, listen to me slowly. Although I did not have a relationship with the emperor of men and women, I have a deep love for the crown prince, who is the current saint. After I entered the palace, the first time I met him was on a rainy day, it was raining lightly, I just greeted the emperor and wanted to go back, but the sky was not beautiful, and the rain became heavier and heavier. When I was worried under the eaves, an umbrella was placed over my head, and as soon as I turned around, I saw his childish and mature face, and I still remember the smile on it. Since that day, we have planted the seeds of love in each other's hearts, but unfortunately love is not at the right time! Wu Zetian sighed.
"Since the emperor has treated you as a daughter, why not renew the relationship with your beloved? Why should you be yourself? Zhu Mingyang comforted Wu Zetian, not so much comforting as a matchmaker.
"Zhu Gongzi, not to mention the world's opinion of our sincere love, just those old ministers in the court will also force him every day. Rather than let him be in a dilemma, it is better to forget about each other. Wu Zetian's smart face revealed deep helplessness.
"Why can't lovers be together?" Zhu Mingyang shook his head helplessly, he thought of Cuicui, and he didn't know if he and Cuicui had any results.
"I see that Gongzi is very lofty, upright, I think it will be famous all over the world in the future, and it will belong in the future, but it's a pity that I want to always accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha." Wu Zetian seemed to see Zhu Mingyang's thoughts, Zhu Mingyang wanted to comfort Wu Zetian, but was comforted by Wu Zetian.
"That's it! Let it be! Let's go! Zhu Mingyang stood up and patted the dirt on his body, and after a while, the two disappeared into the open field.
When Zhu Mingyang returned to the inn, he saw Cuicui dozing with one hand on her chin, her delicate eyes slightly closed, and a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was dreaming. The food was already on the table, and it was held upside down with a bowl, and Cuicui seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Zhu Mingyang couldn't help but remember that he had been busy but cared little about Cuicui during this time, he quietly walked to the table and took off his coat and draped it on Cuicui's delicate body, this delicate woman had lost too many things. Zhu Mingyang sat down opposite Cuicui, and also held his hands and stared at Cuicui, he didn't know if he and her would have a future, no matter what, as long as the delicate woman in front of him was not harmed, he only wanted her to be happy......
