A few days later, the warm sunlight is as pure and elegant as the hem of the narcissus skirt, and the clouds are bright and fresh. More than a dozen flower branches in the courtyard of Yanlai Hall gracefully bloom clusters of white velvet flowers, the tips of the first blooming branches are crystal clear, the fragrance of flowers attracts colorful butterflies to fly up and down, the breeze blows, the petals on the branches are hovering and falling, like silver frost flowers, like transparent jade chips, like washed rouge.

But what is very incompatible with this beautiful scene is the two rows of soldiers in front of them who are facing each other angrily, although everyone is not wearing the autocratic armor facing the battlefield, but their eyes are full of vigilant looks, and they can clearly feel the slowly rising killing intent in all directions. And what shocked me the most was that Lord Rong was actually among them.

He was dressed in a purple court robe, with a gold silk spider stripe of the same color around his waist, and his eyebrows and eyes were still so spotless, as if even the sunlight was embarrassed to leave a mottled shadow on his face. After many years of Taocheng's original green bookish temperament, not only has it not been covered up by dirty colors, but it is more clear than before. And I think that the heroism brought to him by practicing martial arts on weekdays has not become a drag on his unique temperament, but complements the romance of the book.

I smiled gloomily, I really couldn't imagine that the first time we met after three years of not seeing each other was in such a situation.

One after another, several doormen hurriedly found Yanlai Hall from Suifeng Hall and wanted to see the King of Yunnan, saying that they had something important to see, but they were all stopped by Lord Rong. I see that Lord Rong's posture seems to be unable to escape even a small worm and be put into his eyes.

Yanlai Hall was immediately guarded. Not only Luo Xi's people were there, but the king of Yunnan also sent heavy troops to tightly surround and control the entire Yanlai Hall and even the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

I have a lot of doubts in my heart, but I also probably know that Luo Xi and the King of Yunnan should be like this for Wu Yao's affairs. It is not surprising that for the king of Yunnan, no matter how strict the discipline is on weekdays, after all, he is his own son, how can he bear to let others hurt his life, Yu Luoxi, he is the king of a country, for the sake of imperial power, for the stability of the world, how can he tolerate a grain of sand that is rustling in his eyes. Therefore, in the final analysis, Wu Yao is just a fuse, and what is really worrying and fearing should be how many people will lose their lives, be displaced, and be separated from their wives under the confrontation or even war between the two sides over the ownership of imperial power.

I closed my eyes and there were a thousand words in my chest, but I couldn't say a single word, I could only sigh softly.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't think it would be here."

I opened my eyes and quietly looked at the old man in front of me, and an inexplicable sourness rose in my heart, and I didn't know whether it was the melancholy of the untraceable time of the past, or the unspeakable nostalgia for our innocent and beautiful time.

I smiled dismally and said, "Yes, Lord Rong, I thought I would never have to see you again." ”

His gentle gaze revealed infinite coldness, and he asked, "Are you blaming me?" ”

I shook my head and sighed, "Lord Rong said something wrong, in what capacity do I blame Lord Rong?" ”

The warm breeze was intoxicating, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "I remember that when you left the palace that year, you asked me to take good care of the princess, but in the end I didn't do it." ”

I chuckled, "I expected it a long time ago. ”

Lord Rong looked at me with a puzzled expression, "What? ”

I said calmly, "I expected you and the princess to be like this, but I couldn't bear to tear it down at the time," I smiled, "Of course, there was a bit of luck in my heart, thinking, what if you really can?" ”

Lord Rong bowed his head and said, "It turns out that there are not so many lucks in the world. ”

I said, "At that time, I really didn't want to break up a couple with my own hands, but I was also worried about you. ”

He asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

I lowered my eyes and said, "If the worry fails, it will be a long-lasting scar on your heart." ”

He bowed his head and said, "That's true." ”

Looking up, the cornices and corners decorated with glazed jassarite in the blossoming flowers are like a miniature hidden in the colorful rays of the nine heavens. I asked lightly: "How have you been doing all these years?" ”

He nodded lightly and replied, "It's okay, it's okay." But it can only be okay. ”

I said in a low voice: "It's already good to be okay, how can there be so many so-called heavenly combinations in this world, and more are just going to be." In fact, if you think about it carefully, the two can respect each other like guests, spend their lives, carefree, without wind and waves, and it is also quite beautiful. ”

Lord Rong frowned and asked: "What has happened to you over the years that made you so simple and simple have the deep words you have now," and added secretly, "Beauty is beautiful, but there is no charm at all, life has lost all other colors, only a piece of pure white remains, but it is really tasteless." ”

I smiled and said, "Lord Rong is wrong, I've never been the kind of person you imagined," and said, "It's clean, isn't it?" I couldn't help but shake my head, I sighed lightly, "There are many colors, it's impossible to say whether it's good or not, but it's certain to hurt people and be sad." ”

Rong Da said: "It's good to look at the world, but you still have to have hope." ”

I said lightly: "How have I ever seen it?" After laughing at myself, I said, "If I really saw it, how could I have the trouble of three thousand green silks now?" ”

Rong Da said: "You know, I envy you. ”

I said, "What do you envy me?" ”

Rong Da said: "I envy you for the opportunity to add different colors to the picture scroll." ”

I smiled and was noncommittal. He envied me for being colorful, but he didn't know how much heartache, how much trouble, how much worry, and how much helplessness I endured because of it. He may not know that happiness and pain are always co-existent. The body tasted the ups and downs, and his heart was already covered with bruises.

Lord Rong took two steps closer to me and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel when you meet Your Majesty again?" ”

I raised my eyes and swept his cheek and replied, "How can I feel?" With a low smile, I shook my head, "It's just that I don't think I can escape my destiny after all." ”

He hesitated for a moment before he said slowly, "Actually...... Your Majesty has always had you in his heart. ”

I asked, "What is Lord Yung trying to persuade me?" ”

He said, "Actually, you can consider whether to ...... with Your Majesty."

Before he finished speaking, I interrupted in a resolute tone: "Don't! "Because even if he didn't finish speaking, I knew what he was going to say. It's nothing more than persuading me to go back to the palace with Luo Xi, and then be a harem resentful woman who wants to share with many women and compete for a husband.

I took a deep breath and said, "I would never want to be one of the many concubines in His Majesty's harem, because I really don't want to compete with the harem women for a husband. ”

Lord Rong paused for a long time, "um", and nodded silently, "It's okay." ”

I chuckled, reached out and stroked the cloud brocade pattern on the cuffs of my shirt, and Wen Yan asked, "I don't know when Lord Rong came?" Why did he suddenly appear in the Yunnan palace today? ”

He said with a straight face: "Actually, I have already received an urgent letter from Your Majesty earlier, saying that someone has committed an assassination, so I immediately took a few of my cronies, day and night, and galloped here, and just settled in Yaqi City not long ago. ”

I nodded, and said in a light tone: "Your Majesty really has the name of an ancestor. "It turns out that everything has been laid out a long time ago, and I still think highly of myself in the end.

I said again: "Lord Rong, do you know that the princess is also in the Yunnan Palace?" "When it comes to Jianning, I'm actually a little embarrassed, but I have to mention it.

Lord Rong bowed slightly: "I know," sighed softly, "She has finally become someone else's wife, and I am helpless." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I said, "I always heard the princess say that Lord Rong likes to borrow the word 'helpless' to escape from reality. It was also through the word 'helpless' that Lord Rong easily gave up the princess back then. ”

His eyes were full of sadness, and he said: "Helpless is really helpless, what is my identity, the princess's daughter, how can Your Majesty and the Queen Mother marry her to me?" ”

I chuckled and said, "How could the princess marry in the Yunnan palace not be 'married'?" ”

Lord Rong shook his head slightly and said, "This is different. ”

I asked, "What's the difference?" ”

He said: "The princess's daughter's body, from the moment she was born, she has been burdened with a mission, it is not something I can stop, since she already has a place where she should go, I might as well end this bad relationship as soon as possible, otherwise I will hurt others and myself." ”

I said, "Lord Rong already knew, so why did he want to tease the princess's heart?" ”

His face was helpless, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, "First, I can't bear the princess to be sad, and second, like you, I have a trace of luck in my heart." In case His Majesty is reluctant to marry the princess far away, in case His Majesty is reluctant to use the princess as a pawn to stabilize the imperial power. ”

I then smiled lightly and said, "However, Lord Rong knows that the princess has long been deeply fond of you. Your relentless refusal again and again, pushing her thousands of miles away, is actually hurting the princess again and again," I gently put my left hand on my right wrist, and there was a faint coolness between the tulle fabrics, "It's like a cut on my wrist, well, it's scabbed, and it's torn open again." ”

Lord Rong frowned quietly, slowly looked at the light-colored peony on the side and pondered and annoyed, the corners of his lips were speechless and filled with a trace of sorrow, for a long time, Fang said: "Why didn't I want to...... It's just that I'm different from you, it's not filial piety to leave my father and mother, I can't take care of my old age, and I can't do it because I have to go to that prison because of my old age. ”

I think that although the life of Lord Yung is as peaceful as water, he has never been truly happy!
