Chapter 140: The Lotus and the Prison Bird

She just wanted to wait for the banquet to end, to return to her own world, away from all distractions.

Finally, the seemingly festive, but actually dull banquet did not disperse until sunset, and the emperor went directly back to the Qianqing Palace because of political affairs, and everyone gradually dispersed.

She saw Nan Ruochen standing between the flowers and trees looking at herself, as soon as her canonization ceremony passed, it was the day when Nan Ruochen left the palace, and she couldn't help but feel sad, so she couldn't help but slow down.

Nan Ruochen has followed unconsciously, the two walked side by side quietly, no one spoke, they have known each other for so long, they have formed a tacit understanding, they know what each other thinks without words, this feeling is very precious, but she can't cherish it.

I don't know how long I walked, Nan Ruochen said softly: "Lu Nuoxin, it's hard work." ”

Her nose was sour, and she smiled bitterly: "Everyone thinks that it is my blessing and joy that I am a concubine." It turns out that you know, in fact, it's a bondage. "Is it that which is bound is something that is seen?

Nan Ruochen's eyes were full of worry and looked at her: "Lu Nuoxin, you don't like to interact with people, you have something on your mind, and you are bored again, I'm really worried that you will forget what it is like to laugh happily." ”

She tugged at the corner of her mouth with a smile on her lips and looked up at him, trying to erase the worry from his eyes: "Nan Ruochen, no, he is very good to me, you know." "Now that he's leaving, don't let him worry about himself anymore.

He sighed and breathed a sigh of relief: "Lu Nuoxin, the road of a lifetime is very long, it's not that you just think of you in the past few years, and you are still twenty years old, thirty years old, forty years old, fifty years old, long and long, can he protect you until you are old?" ”

Nan Ruochen's worries are not unreasonable, he can also see clearly his snubbing in the past few months.

She looked into the distance, lowered her head and said softly: "Nan Ruochen, lotus flowers can only bloom in summer, every year, every year, the years are the same, I think they should also know, knowing that they will go away with the wind after they open, but they still have to open." ”

"But you're not a flower, Lu Nuoxin, you're human."

Her heart was shocked, she closed her eyes, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, but Nan Ruochen, don't worry, my own path, I will try my best to go on." ”

Yes, she is a human being, flesh and blood will cry in pain, not flowers, flowers fall silently.

"Do you think so?" He asked in a low and serious voice.

She nodded vigorously: "Yes, definitely." ”

He laughed suddenly, and she laughed too, as brightly as Hongxia.

"Remember how to shoot arrows on horseback?" Nan Ruochen smiled lightly, but didn't look at her, looking at the western sky dyed red by the sunset from a distance.

"I haven't practiced for a long time, and I may forget it soon." It's not that she doesn't want to remember, it's just that in this deep palace, she is not allowed to remember.

"Also, there is definitely no chance to practice in the palace......" he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Out of the palace, where will you go?" asked, but found that he still wanted to know his future direction, maybe it was just sadness, I was afraid that there would be no chance to meet again in the future.

"I don't know, like before, wander the world." He withdrew his gaze from afar, and some sighs remained in his eyes.

"It's so good, Nan Ruochen, you are happier than me...... "She used to want to wander the world, but now, it's just a fantasy, this deep palace wall, it's just a locked person, there are hopes, and dreams......

"Lu Nuoxin, if you can get out of the palace, where do you want to go?" He looked greedily at her sad brow.

"I want to go to Jiangnan Water Town......" I remember someone once told her that she was willing to give up everything and take her to Jiangnan Water Town, build a thatched house, plant a few plots of land, and have a lot of children...... Thinking of the words of the former man, she smiled, smiling brightly, but laughing so much that tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Nan Ruochen looked at her distressedly, unconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, but when she raised her hand, she seemed to think of something, stopped hesitantly, and her hand stopped in mid-air, he reluctantly put it down, and said, "Lu Nuoxin, why are you always so sad?" "You like this, how can I let go of my heart.

She noticed her gaffe, blinked hurriedly, held back her tears, and said self-deprecatingly: "It's okay, you just squint me by the wind and sand......" But at this time, there was not even a trace of breeze.

As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped the tears from his face, in front of him, he was always casual, no need to force a smile, no need to pretend.

"Lu Nuoxin, this is for you, go back and see again." He handed her a wooden box, presumably as a gift from him.

Reaching out to pick it up, he saw that his left hand had some scars, small and small, but there were still fine bloodshots: "Nan Ruochen, your hand is ......"

He smiled soothingly: "It's okay, it's just that the sword practice is cracked." ”

"Be careful in the future and take care of yourself."

He smiled brightly: "Okay." ”

The road that is so long on weekdays is so short today, and soon, they have reached the gate of Yongning Palace.

He stopped and smiled: "Lu Nuoxin, remember to be happy." ”

His eyes have always locked on her figure, all the time, he just wants to be by her side, laugh with her, cry with her, and go through all the ups and downs with her.

She also smiled: "Good ......" but did not stop, nor did she look back, and walked towards the palace gate, on the plaque above her head, Yongning Palace reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, so dazzling.

From then on, he is still the lotus outside the palace that is clean and uninhibited, she is still the golden silk bird in the luxurious cage, and there will be no intersection again, just Nan Ruochen, remember to be good, take good care of yourself, I wish you all the best......

She is behind the palace gate, her heart is barren, open the wooden box, there is a wooden doll lying inside, it is actually her peacock dance, under her feet is a blooming lotus, carved well is exquisite, the hair sideburns, clothes and lotus lines are not less, the knife marks of the wooden doll, or newly carved, the eyebrows and eyes of the wooden doll, or smiling crookedly, this is even the hair with a smile and flying wooden doll, unlike her, always with a touch of sadness.

How beautiful the wooden doll is, he carved it out with a knife, this is a very hard kind of wood, I don't know how much effort he put in, since when he started carving.

My fingers ran over the lines of the doll, and my heart softened.

I remembered the last words he said to her: "Lu Nuoxin, remember to be happier." ”

Thinking of the small wounds on his hands, they must have been injured when he carved this doll, but he said, "It's okay, it's just that the sword practice cracked." ”

She walked out from behind the door and looked out, Nan Ruochen was still standing in place, looking at it stupidly, her eyes were so obsessed and affectionate, her tears fell silently, her throat choked, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make any sound after all, but she knew that he understood, and he would understand.

Nan Ruochen, in the future, in the distant future, if I look back again, can I still see you standing in place, waiting for me......
