Chapter 185: The sound of the Gayageum weeps and the song of blood
Fasted for three days, it's not a day to eat elbows.
The crown prince, supported by two chamberlains, began to walk the cobblestone path that paved the garden with only socks on.
"Fucheng, I can't go anymore, my feet hurt, and the soles of my lonely feet will be pierced by stones......" After only a few steps, Zhu Gaochi refused to leave, shouting to go back.
Fucheng and Fuxi were already sweating profusely, and it seemed that Zhu Gaochi was walking, but he pressed all his strength on his arms to reduce the force of stepping on stones on the soles of his feet, so that the two eunuchs couldn't speak.
"Temple...... Your Highness...... If you hold on for a while, the doctor will say that it will hurt the first few times...... If you walk a few more times, the soles of your feet won't hurt......" Fu Cheng gritted his teeth and insisted, he was also encouraging himself and Fu Xi.
"Can I not know this? The general rule is that it does not hurt, and the general rule is that it does not hurt. But when I can't make it, I'm going to die of pain......"
"Look at what you said, you are the crown prince, and you will be the emperor in the future, the emperor is long live, and your days are still long." Fu Xi squeezed out a smile and said, "Besides, the crown princess said that you haven't walked enough back and forth, and you are not allowed to wear shoes." ”
"Who built this road? Fix that long! I can't finish it until it's dark......"
Zhu Gaochi was inking on the gravel road, and suddenly there was a sound of a piano. The sound of the piano is soft and mellow, elegant and melodious, like a piano but not a qin, like a zheng but not a zheng, and the music played seems to have never been heard.
"Fucheng, are you too tired to walk alone, and you are hallucinating? Where does the sound come from? ”
Fu Cheng listened carefully and smiled: "Your Highness, it's not an illusion, maybe it's a lady in the backyard who is playing the piano." When you finish walking the gravel road, summon Niangniang to come and play it for you, so that you can hear enough. ”
"No, you can't summon them over, and those who are summoned are not as good as her playing herself. Listen, how light this melody is, it sounds like it's eighteen years old again, with buzzing birds singing and galloping horses...... Lone has also ridden a horse and galloped......"
"Your Highness, if you follow the Imperial Doctor's method, maybe you will be able to ride your own horse again soon."
"Don't go, don't want shoes, you help Gu to the backyard, Gu wants to go and see, who is playing the piano? Lone will give her sin, and enjoy herself alone, and she will not be called Lone! ”
Fucheng wiped a handful of sweat, and had to help the prince who was only wearing socks to walk to the backyard.
The more I walked, the closer the sound of the piano became, and before I could find which courtyard it was, the music ended. Zhu Gaochi stopped on the path. After waiting for a long time, just as he was slightly disappointed, a note passed his ear like a heavenly sound.
I still haven't heard this song, but it doesn't have the lightness and liveliness of Fang Cai, and it has become a memorative reflection.
Zhu Gaochi didn't speak, and only walked forward with a step.
Fucheng and Fuxi also heard it, and the courtyard where the sound of the piano came out was the courtyard where the guards had just been removed for a few days, and the courtyard where the maid was selected. It's weird, it's been almost 20 years since I chose the maid to enter the East Palace, and I've never heard her play the piano?
Could it be that she deliberately studied it in order to attract the prince?
Zhu Gaochi probably had this idea, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he stood for a while before turning around and going back. But this peculiar sound of the piano and the clear melody made him reluctant.
"Go and push the door, don't talk, let's go in quietly and take a look and leave."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The three of them entered the courtyard, only to see gloomy eyes rushing towards them. The yard has not been cleaned for a long time, because Li Xuanzhi has been locked in the house, and someone regularly goes in every day to deliver food and water, plus pouring night incense, it doesn't matter if it is cleaned outside or not.
The original snow has melted, the flowers in the flower beds have withered, and the wild grass that grows on its own has flourished, becoming the only bright color in the garden.
Zhu Gaochi was stunned, he couldn't believe that there was such a dilapidated place in his East Palace.
The door of the outer hall was locked from the outside, and there was a copper wide lock hanging on the half-rusted iron chain, which was opened by someone about every day, and the copper lock was bright and shiny, and the somewhat hideous iron chain was matched together, as if it was a pair of resentful couples.
The windows of the outer hall are ajar, and the fork rod stands only diagonally, as if it will fall down at any moment, and the window will also "bang" and close with it.
This woman doesn't even have the strength to prop up the window, right?
Zhu Gaochi stood by the window, looking in from the half of the slit, just enough to see the woman's back.
At this sight, he was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand, and he relied on the two chamberlains to support him. Fu Cheng also glanced in, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat:
Choosing a maid is eating the bear's heart and leopard gall? Knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hates things to do with North Korea, you have been snubbed by His Royal Highness for 20 years because you are a North Korean, but now you are wearing a North Korean dress and simply dressing up as a North Korean......
Zhu Gaochi calmed down for a moment before looking in again.
I saw Li Xuanzhi remove the low table on the soft collapse, sit cross-legged on the soft couch, and put a piano that he had never seen horizontally in front of her, Zhu Gaochi could only see that the tail of the piano was in the shape of a sheep's horn, propped up on the soft couch, and the piano head rested on her lap.
Her left hand was trembling and pushing, somewhat similar to the way the zither was playing, and her right hand was blocked by its body, so it was invisible.
I saw that her still shiny black hair was always in a twisted braid at the back of her head, hanging down on her back, which made Zhu Gaochi feel like he wanted to reach out and touch it.
Just thinking about it a little distracted, suddenly Li Xuanzhi sang to the tune.
Now even Fucheng and Fuxi know that this unintelligible song must be the song of Li Xuan's mother country, North Korea.
Li Xuanshi's voice was very good, gentle and gentle, she sang and sang, her voice was choked, and finally she couldn't play her hand, so she fell on the piano and cried.
The braided hair also kept shaking on her back, like the pain of thousands of love entanglements.
Zhu Gaochi turned around slowly, raised his finger and pointed at the courtyard door, and the three of them retreated silently. Fu Cheng closed the door, and he couldn't hear Li Xuanshi's cry, and he was about to help the prince, only to see him raise his hand and wipe his face with his sleeve.
His Highness cried.
"Fucheng, go and transfer all the people in her palace back, her personal girl is gone, you go and pick two good ones to transfer over. This is the East Palace, not a prison, did Lone say that he wanted to lock her up? She can still come out and walk around her own yard. ”
Fucheng hurriedly responded.
Before he walked back to the main hall, Zhu Gaochi, who had been silent all the way, said: "Go and tell the crown princess to remove Li Xuanzhi's grounding." In the future, if she likes to wear North Korean dresses, it will be up to her. ”
I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it's really inductive, and the cheerful rhythm of the piano sound came from the spring breeze.
Fu Cheng bowed down and said with a smile: "Your Highness, listen, it must be because the maid understands your mind and is happy that she can play this tune, like a bird in the forest." ”
"What bird is called? Is there anyone like you commented on the tune? It's already at the gate of the main hall, Fuxi Fugu goes in, why don't you hurry up and do something, just play tricks here! ”
"Yes, Wechen will do it."
After all, spring has already come.
