The early summer is beautiful, all kinds of competition green, layered, boundless, green heavy and hearty, green shocking, green as dawn.

In July, there was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and the sun was so intense, shining on the rippling water, with ten thousand golden lights.

After walking around for a long time, I returned to the room from the garden, and saw Ju Xiang busily folding the old clothes in the cabinet, so I rolled up my sleeves and was about to come forward to help, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door, low but crisp and clear, I smiled, walked to the bed and patted Ju Xiang, and said casually and loudly: "Come in!" ”

Ju Xiang chuckled at me, pursed her lips, and bowed back.

I put the folded clothes back in the cupboard, and then I turned my head to see that the sunlight was shining obliquely through the door, and the hollowed-out gauze curtains were mottled into mottled goose yellow and green blue, and fell on the forehead, forming an ethereal shadow.

He was dressed in a broken silver woven corrugated robe, standing by the door with his back hand, looking at me standing by the cupboard, smiling faintly, clean and clear, warm and warm, it seemed to warm my heart with Yangyang.

I leaned in front of the cupboard and looked at him for a while, and he looked back at me quietly, and after a while, he came in with a smile, walked up to me, and said, "It's pretty clean." ”

I glanced at him, crossed my arms and said, "I'm really curious now, what kind of image am I in your heart?" ”

He lowered his head and smiled silently, "It's good for you to be like this." I stared at him and laughed along.

After a while, he casually brushed the broken hair on my forehead, and I said slowly: "There are only me and Juxiang here, which is very clean." ”

He looked at me and smiled and said, "I know." ”

I nodded lightly, looked up and asked, "Why are we Ming Shizi so idle today to come to see me at this time?" ”

Cangyang stared at me for a long time, pulled me over, and came out of the room, the golden sun poured on me, I looked at him and said, "It's really a rare good weather." ”

After a while, he said to me, "Do you want to go out?" ”

I answered in a low voice, and he said, "If you want, I will take you out." ”

I pondered for a long time, but I still hesitated and asked, "What kind of exit do you say?" ”

He looked at me closely and said seriously, "What do you think? ”

I was silent for a while, sighed, and then said, "If you want to take me out for a walk and relax, it's naturally good, but if you mean to ask me to leave the Yunnan palace and live with you, in this case, I can't promise you." ”

He looked into my eyes, smiled and nodded, and then his gaze bypassed me, landed on a tree not far away, and said: "You have handled many things in the Yunnan Royal Mansion in the past three years much better than I thought, and your mind has recovered better than I imagined, I never dared to think that the king of Yunnan would value you so much, treat you like his own daughter, and sometimes even take care of you beyond Wu Yao," paused for a while, retracted his gaze, and looked at me again, "However, this is also what worries me the most." ”

I chuckled and said, "It's a good thing that the King of Yunnan trusts you and me," pursed his lips, "I know what you're worried about, but you and I can't grasp the overall situation, so I can only try to get more things for myself at the moment, so that I can live more comfortably." ”

I continued to sigh: "If it is true that the King of Yunnan and His Majesty will have a battle sooner or later," looking at Cangyang deeply, "this time you and I must choose the camp carefully." ”

He said to me with a deep face, "Perhaps, we don't have to choose. ”

I knew what he meant, but I wanted to pretend that I didn't understand anything. I looked at him and wanted to ask if he had really let it all down. Those former people, former feelings, former accidents, former ambitions, those thousands of countless bonds, hundreds of millions of innocent people in the world, beautiful and vast splendid mountains and rivers, firmly intertwined feelings or hatred...... He doesn't want to care? Can he just leave it alone? These have been firmly linked to us from the very beginning.

After a while, he smiled and said, "It's enough for me to protect you alone." ”

I looked at his clear and sculpted face, but I didn't ask anything, and I smiled faintly at him, and asked softly, "How did you do that?" ”

He smiled and said, "Only those who have experienced despair and madness will fully understand what they want most." "I looked at him, and my thoughts flew in an instant, what kind of pain did he experience in prison during the days when I was trapped in the palace by Luo Xi? What kind of grief? What kind of physical and mental exhaustion? Later, how did he survive the hardships alone?

I took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it any more.

He rubbed the top of my head and said with a smile: "In the past, like many people, I had great ideals and lofty ambitions, and I thought that I could help the people of the world by myself, but later I saw clearly that I couldn't protect anyone, I couldn't even protect myself," and hugged me into his arms, "I realized that it was good to be able to protect the people who are always concerned in my heart." I glanced up at the smile on his face, and suddenly felt extremely distressed, no one could have imagined that such a warm smile would have so many gloomy pasts behind it.

I nodded, rubbed it in his arms, and said softly, "But now you are very strong, not the same as before." ”

He said softly: "No matter how strong you are, you have to see who your opponent is, and what I have to face is the emperor of today." ”

I smiled and said mischievously, "But he's not here now." ”

He lowered his eyes and said, "I always feel that one day we will meet again, and then, I must not lose again." ”

I suddenly thought of Luo Xi's words that night, he said that he would never see us again, thought about it deeply, and couldn't help but tremble, if it really happened to see each other again, maybe it would be another stormy wave, and it was not easy to live such a peaceful life, I really didn't want to face that situation again, so I just pulled Cangyang's neckline lightly and said: "I hope that we and Your Majesty will never see each other again." ”

He looked at me deeply, "Miao Miao, what you say is so stupid." ”

I smiled helplessly, "yes, that's stupid." "Right now, Jianning is about to marry into the Yunnan Palace, I really can't hide, Jianning is here, is Luo Xi still far away? I don't know, Luo Xiqing doesn't know that Cangyang and I are also here? I guess he probably didn't know, or rather, he didn't want to know at all.

Fate is such a wonderful thing, some people you will never see in your life, and some people you clearly don't want to see, but they will always be inexplicably intertwined and mixed together.

Wang Sheng hurriedly shouted at the entrance of the courtyard: "Ming Shizi." After shouting, he didn't wait for an answer, he raised his feet and ran, Wang Sheng had never been like this before, and now it seemed like something urgent.

Cangyang let go of me, looked at me, and said, "I'll go." ”

I smiled at him and didn't speak, he smiled back at me and nodded before turning away.

I watched his figure slowly disappear around the corner from afar, lowered his head, sat under the porch, and thought about it, yes, one day we will see Luo Xi again, the long-term planning of the past has far exceeded my understanding of him, before he said this, I didn't think about these at all, let alone sort out the many messy accidents that have happened recently, and at this moment I thought about it, only to realize that none of what Cangyang said was wrong.

He wanted me to move out, in fact, because Jianning was coming, and my living here meant that our interweaving with the royal family was about to start again, and he still felt that he was not strong enough to compete with Luo Xi.

I shook my head, he thought he was right, he really couldn't. I was shaken, but when I thought about it again, I couldn't hide from it, and I only had a sigh left.

was pondering, and suddenly heard Cuixiang's voice again: "Second Miss is auspicious." ”

I hurriedly straightened up, it turned out that Cuixiang had entered the courtyard at some point, and was leaning over to salute, I smiled and called her up, Cuixiang smiled and said: "The prince said that the princess was about to enter the house, and specially allocated me to the envoy of the prince's room, and it was generally cleaned up, and I didn't know the princess's temperament, for fear of missing the princess, so I thought of asking the second lady." ”

Cuixiang was originally a maid in the Yunnan royal house, very clever and likable, I helped her out of the siege by chance, and slowly, in three years, I gradually became acquainted.

As I got up and welcomed her into the room, I said, "The princess has a good temperament, and the things you have prepared must be in order, and it is almost as good as you think, but you have come here on purpose, and you must always help to see, and maybe you can see some other way." ”

Cuixiang smiled, poured a glass of water and handed it to me, "That's it, it's not good to have more or less." ”

I took the paper that Cuixiang took out of my sleeve, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then raised my head and said to Cuixiang: "I use it on weekdays, but I didn't miss anything, it's just ......."

I shook my head, Cuixiang frowned, and asked, "Second Miss, is there anything wrong here?" The second lady can be blunt. ”

I nodded, and asked Cuixiang, "Let me ask you, do you want to get the princess's heart?" ”

Cuixiang thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

I said, "You know, being the princess's favorite maid is not necessarily a good thing, have you really thought about it?" ”

Cuixiang thought about it for a while, knelt down and said: "The second lady saved the slave maid, and treats the slave and maid like relatives and friends, and the slave and maid are also like this in the second lady's heart, but I heard that the princess is friendly with the second miss, and it is good to think that it is the same as the second miss, and the slave and maid only want to serve the masters well, and do not ask for anything else." ”

I hurriedly helped her up, sighed, and said, "It's all fate, everything has been decided at this moment, and no one can escape," pursed his lips, Fang said firmly, "Everything is already there, but there is still one thing missing." ”

Cuixiang asked, "Which one?" The second lady said that with the slave maid, the slave and the maid should go to prepare early. ”

I said to Cuixiang: "A few selections." ”

Cui Xiang was puzzled: "Selected words? ”

I nodded, and Cuixiang suddenly said, "Is it Lord Rong's word selection?" ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, you know that?" ”

Cuixiang lowered her head and smiled shyly, answered "um", and after a while, she said, "How can a woman not like that kind of word?" ”

I nodded, "yes, the love in the words is very poignant, but it also hurts," I sighed, and then asked, "Can you sing?" ”

Cui Xiang smiled faintly and said, "It can only be counted as a little bit of the meeting." ”

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Then you sing a part, and I'll listen to it?" ”

Cuixiang became more and more shy, and after a long time, she responded in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Between the gauze tents as thin as cicada wings, a voice like a clear spring flowed gracefully, and the woman sang: "The wind is gentle, and the rain is delicate." No wonder spring sorrow is fine. I don't know if it's a dream, and the dream is still separated by a curtain. ”

I lowered my head and smiled quietly, thinking that Cuixiang really still had a girlish mind, so I chose this one: the breeze is blowing, the drizzle is misty, and every trace of rain will intensify the spring sorrow in my heart. The past was blurred in my mind, and I couldn't tell if those experiences were real dreams. Even if you come in a dream, there is a curtain that makes it impossible for me to approach.

The most beautiful. Most painful. The most hazy.
