Chapter Forty-Eight: The Uninvited Guest
Since that day, Li Qingyuan has not come to visit Lu Xin for several days, and Lu Xin still quietly writes poems and recites words in the courtyard every day to light up the yin.
Sometimes Lu Xin will sigh: "The world is impermanent! In this half a year, I have experienced many changes, life and death. After the ups and downs of life, my mood has become more mature and calm. If the Prime Minister's Mansion is still there, if you can still enjoy your parents' knees, you should still be a carefree and naughty young lady who often runs away from the house and is greedy for fun. At this time, I will soon be the first son, and the mood of being married is always anxious and expectant. ”
She thought of Qing again, and wondered if he was still angry about the events of that day, and he was so cruel that he hadn't come to see her for many days, and he hadn't sent anyone to send a word.
No matter how idle she is now, she doesn't care, but in the face of her loved ones' ignorance of her, she can't calm down and feel lonely. She couldn't help but write:
Alone in the West Building,
The moon is like a hook,
Lonely sycamore deep courtyard lock Qingqiu,
Cut constantly,
Rationalize and mess up,
It's sorrow,
Don't have a taste in your heart.
Suddenly, a person rushed in from the door of the courtyard, disturbing Lu Xin's quietness, only to see him quickly run into the house and hide behind the door.
After a while, two men dressed as domestic servants chased after them, and when they saw Lu Xin who was writing, one of the servants respectfully asked Lu Xin, "May I ask Miss Xin'er, have you ever seen someone break in?" And another servant was looking around.
From the angle of Lu Xin's standing, you can just see the uninvited guest behind the door, and I saw that he kept making silent and pleasesome gestures to Lu Xin, hoping that Lu Xin would help him hide it.
Lu Xin glanced at the person behind the door, and then said to the servant, "Who are you two chasing?"
The servant still replied respectfully: "Just now my young lady ran away again, how can we explain to our wife?" Miss Xin'er has seen it? ”
After hearing this, Lu Xin said: "I see, it seems that a figure passed through the door just now and ran over there, you guys chase after it!" After Lu Xin finished speaking, she pointed in a direction casually, and the servant hurriedly thanked her and ran out.
After the servants ran away, the people in the house let out a long breath. Lu Xin continued to write, and after the man came out, he casually picked up the poem written by Lu Xin and read:
"Go up to the west building alone without a word,
The moon is like a hook,
Lonely sycamore deep courtyard lock Qingqiu,
Cut constantly,
Rationalize and mess up,
It's sorrow,
Don't have a taste in your heart. ”
I saw that after he finished reading it, he praised it with great pride: "Good words, good words, the girl is really literary and talented, and I admire it."
Lu Xin listened to the voice of a girl who was still a little childish, and she had to pretend to be a man's voice, which sounded awkward. Look at her round face again, and the dress of a young master, who is only between fifteen or sixteen years old.
Lu Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't have to pretend in front of me, just the one you played, Miss Ben was still a master back then, and she pretended to be much more decent than you."
When the man heard that he was pierced at a glance, his face couldn't help but be embarrassed, and then he said with a smile: "Hehe, Miss is really good eyesight, under is Guo Xiao, the youngest daughter who ranks thirteenth in the General's Mansion, Miss is?" I just heard the domestic servant call you Miss Xin'er, presumably not my father's concubine, so who are you? ”
Lu Xin faced her questioning, and she didn't know how to introduce her identity for a while. She saw Guo Xiao reading her poems, so she asked, "Do you know poetry?"
Lu Xin only thought about staggering the topic, listening to Guo Xiao just boasting about her literary talents, thinking that she could read her own sorrows at a young age?
After hearing this, Guo Xiao smiled at Lu Xin and said, "Hehe! A little understood, a little understood. ”
Lu Xin asked again, "Why are they chasing you?"
Guo Xiao sighed and said: "My mother, I was confined to the house this month, and I was asked to practice calligraphy, read words, and embroider female red every day." said that Daddy will be going home soon, and he will test me well. I don't care about those daughters' things, I still have something that my father appreciates, and that is martial arts. So I'm going to sneak out, and the master is still waiting to teach me a new move today! ”
Lu Xin said with a smile: "She really deserves to be the daughter of the old general, presumably the old general must be a famous general of a generation who is both civil and military."
Guo Xiao listened to Lu Xin's praise for his father, and said proudly: "That's natural, the emperor can rely on my father today, if it is not a world-renowned general, how can he be valued by the emperor." Seeing that you should be older than me, Xiaoxiao will call you sister! I can get my sister's help today, and Xiaoxiao will come to the door again to thank you another day, and today is urgent, Xiaoxiao will leave first. ”
Lu Xin looked at Xiaoxiao's chattering appearance, and thought: "What a hearty and informal girl, very similar to her former self, I hope she can be so innocent, casual, and happy for the rest of her life."
But there are always things that backfire in the world, Lu Xin thinks like this, how could she expect that Guo Xiao will lose more than these years later? The sorrow of her whole life is only because she fell in love with someone she shouldn't love, and she paid for the rest of her life.
After Lu Xin saw Guo Xiao leave, she fell into the memories of the past, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. Fortunately, I can still be favored by God in this life, meet a good king, and work hand in hand to spend the rest of my life in peace.
In the Lingxiao Palace, Li Qingyuan asked, "Can you collect things about Yu Liguo?"
Mai Feng replied: "Back to the emperor, the monarch of Yuli is already terminally ill, and he intends to summon Prince Rui back to the palace, but he has been postponed by Empress Ling."
Li Qingyuan thought for a while and said, "Well, this matter is very beneficial to us, send someone to monitor Empress Ling's every move, I think she has already started to act!"
Mai Feng said: "The emperor is wise, a few months ago, Prince Rui's disappearance was caused by Empress Ling's action. She had already planned to assassinate Prince Rui many times. It's just that the subordinates don't understand that a mediocre talent like Prince Rui can turn evil into good fortune again and again, presumably this Prince Rui is not as simple as it seems. ”
Li Qingyuan said indifferently: "A person can pretend for a while but not for a lifetime, judging from the fact that I and Prince Rui have known each other since childhood and often walk around together, it must be nothing more than that."
Suddenly, Li Qingyuan's gaze showed ruthlessness, and then he said: "Let's focus on Empress Ling in the Yuliguo Palace for the time being, as for Prince Rui's matter, if necessary, we can secretly help Empress Ling to fish in troubled waters."
Mai Feng also felt that Prince Rui really did not have any outstanding points, especially in terms of governing the country, and he had never shown any unique opinions.
He remembered that when he was young, he followed the emperor, when the emperor was still the crown prince. Once, on the day of the prince's birthday banquet, the former emperor asked the emperor and Prince Rui questions about the way to govern the country in front of all the ministers. As a result, Prince Rui thought for a long time and didn't answer.
However, the emperor said in a loud voice and confidently said to the emperor and all the guests: "Whoever governs the country must first enrich the people."
The Emperor asked again, "Oh? Why? ”
The emperor said: "Back to my father, if the people are rich, it will be easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it will be difficult to govern." Do you know what it is? If the people are rich, they will be safe and the family will be safe, and if the country is safe, they will respect and fear sin, and if they respect and fear sin, they will be easy to cure. If the people are poor, they will be in danger of the township and the family, and if the people in the dangerous township are light, they will dare to violate the ban, and if they violate the ban, it will be difficult to treat. Therefore, the country is always rich, and the chaotic country is often poor. Those who serve the country with goodness must first enrich the people, and then rule them. ”
After the emperor heard this, the dragon's heart was happy, and he praised the emperor for his ability to govern the country. But Prince Rui didn't show any shame, and still sat aside with a cup and drank freely.
