Chapter 45: The Good Times Are Wrong
In the Hall of Forgotten Souls, Wei Sa had already changed into a silk bedgown, and at this moment he was standing in the backyard, looking up at the bright moon above his head, feeling a moment of peace around him. The palace maid beside him passed by, half shy, half curious and secretly looked at his handsome side face. However, they were all just looking at each other and were frightened by the malicious look of the man next to him.
Wei Sa, dressed in civilian clothes, stood in the middle of the night, looking more like a bard who went around at will, with a faint melancholy and unspeakable sadness between his eyebrows.
"Are you going to just keep standing like this?" Bai Jiang, who was also dressed very casually, accompanied him to stand quietly, but seeing that this person had no intention of going back, he couldn't help but ask.
"Wait a little longer." The man replied without any room for bargaining, and at the same time glanced at Bai Jiang, "I didn't let you wait with me." ”
Bai Jiang smiled, leaned against a locust tree beside him, arched one leg to support the trunk, and hugged his shoulders with both hands and laughed so that his shoulders trembled, "Your Highness is right to say this, but I really want to see if the person Your Highness has been waiting for clearly understands what you are thinking as promised." ”
The more he waited, not only did his body get colder and colder, but it was his heart that became colder.
In the middle of the moon, probably, she won't come, right? Although he knew it very well in his heart, Wei Sa didn't want to admit it for some reason.
"Eh, His Royal Highness Yushu Linfeng also has a situation where someone has failed to make an appointment, and that person's courage makes his subordinates admire it very much." At this time, it was terrible to have a person next to me who was talking cool words!
Fortunately, Wei Sa did enough work on the surface, smiled elegantly, stretched his sleeves, and flattened the folds on it by the way, as if nothing had happened, "If she doesn't come, can't I go over?" With that, he walked out.
Bai Jiang frowned, he had never seen Wei Sa, who had always prided himself on being romantic, so he couldn't help but ask, "What does Your Highness want to say when you see that person?" Is it important? "It should be something very important for him to care so much about it, and he must say it tonight, right?
Wei Sa smiled casually and shook his head, his fingers stroking his hair, and muttered to the starry sky as if replying, "No, some words can't wait for tomorrow." ”
"In that case, let's do it as soon as possible." Bai Jiang smiled encouragingly, stepped forward and pushed him, "It's not like Your Highness to be so hesitant." ”
The two were about to set off while laughing, not wanting to bump into someone Wei Sa didn't want to see very much.
"Ahh Your Highness. Wei Furong smiled, a tear mole in the corner of her eye seemed to be dripping, and she saw Wei Sa take two steps forward to say hello.
Wei Sa frowned, "It turned out to be the county lord." ”
"County Lord." Bai Jiang bowed slightly, showing politeness, Wei Furong completely put away her sharp claws at this time, meek like a cat, and nodded at Bai Jiang, "Butler Bai." ”
"I don't know what the county lord is doing here at this time?" Bai Jiang asked very casually.
"Moon-watching." Wei Furong replied casually, but although she looked like she was admiring the moon, no matter how you look at it, this reason is too bad.
"Such a good day, I wonder if Furong has the honor to enjoy the bright moon with His Highness?"
Bai Jiang narrowed one eye and squinted at Wei Sa, and his expression was just saying: Look, this woman is entangled with you.
"I'm really sorry, this king is very busy right now."
"Are you going to prepare for your marriage to the princess? You don't have to worry about that kind of thing, right? Seeing that Wei Sa was leaving, Wei Furong couldn't help but say what she wanted to say most in her heart, and after saying it all, she realized that she had said something very inappropriate. His face was hot, "Has Your Highness ever seen that princess?" ”
"Nope." Wei Sa resisted the urge to turn around and leave because of Wei Furong's father's face, and agreed casually without a word.
"If Your Highness doesn't mind, let Fleur tell you something about this princess."
"I'm sorry, but the king is not interested in the princess."
"Your Highness!" Wei Furong called Wei Sa and grabbed his sleeve, "But Furong thought you would care more about what Your Majesty meant." This sentence made Wei Sa's feet stop.
***
"He may just be a temporary novelty, maybe tomorrow he will marry a princess and come back to be a princess, you better be prepared for this."
The second monk of Ruoxi was confused, and looked at Lu'er who was so angry that his face turned white, and suddenly asked, "How do I have affection for him?" What about being ruthless to him? Along the way, you have also seen how he treated me, sometimes many things are just natural, and you can't force it. She paused, feeling that she was a little ostentatious when she said this, and smiled apologetically, "I'm not saying that I'm much better or better than you, but ...... Most of this kind of thing is about fate, and there are many things in the world that have no fate, and besides, you are not the only one who has this kind of unlucky thing. ”
Ruoxi smiled lightly, and the trance seemed to be immersed in some kind of bad memory, with a gloomy haze of depression. The more you devote yourself to treating a feeling, the more you can experience the pain and helplessness of being overwhelmed, and the kind of discouragement that the whole world has abandoned is not a test that everyone can withstand. Obviously, at present, it is unacceptable for a woman with such psychological endurance as Lu'er.
At this moment, Lu'er actually felt the wordless sadness and loneliness from this face that was tired of looking at it, this kind of expression was completely different from the saliva and poor mouth she usually showed, this contrast could actually make her feel such an unnatural, but it couldn't say where the problem was, this contrast also made her have an illusion, Lu'er seemed to see another person's soul from Ruoxi's body.
Shaking her head, Lu'er turned her head awkwardly to look at the roof of the carved building, maybe to solve the embarrassment at the moment, maybe to refute what she just said, the sentence that made her angry along the way blurted out so easily, "I'm not joking with you, Your Majesty has decided on the marriage of His Royal Highness and the princess of the distant country, Xianyue!" even left the princess in the palace in the capital, maybe tomorrow...... Just ......"
Ruoxi was slightly stunned, her whole body shook as if she had passed an electric current in her mind, and Lu'er's eyebrows moved, sure enough, she still cared so much about His Highness. I didn't want to, but I suddenly spoke after hearing Ruoxi's silence, and the voice was not happy or sad, "I'm just a little messenger girl in the Forgotten Soul Palace, I am not likable in the Evergreen Palace, and I was almost beaten to my death, so His Royal Highness kindly picked me up, so I am very satisfied to be able to eat here." ”
Lu'er lowered her head and thought about it, looking at the flower pots placed on the balcony beside her, although the owner of the banyan tree was not in the hall these days, but it was still carefully taken care of by the subordinates, and the pruning was very spiritual, the green and fluffy treetops revealed an amazing spring, and the house was obviously so cold and cold.
The dim palace lamp was cast at their sides through the window, and Ruoxi's slender body was stretched even more slender on the ground, swaying with the bamboo shadows of the tree trunks outside, and the thin seemed to dissipate when the wind blew. There is obviously a good brazier in the house, and the coal is also anthracite just transported from Datong, which has a faint and elegant aroma because it is mixed with spices. Ruoxi raised his nose and smelled it, it was the smell of bergamot that Wei Sa was used to.
Turning around lightly, he turned his back to the red-eared Lu'er and said softly, "I never thought too much about Your Highness. She suddenly felt that Lu'er was also a poor person who had been hurt, and unconsciously softened her tone, faced her again, and said very seriously, "You should do the same, don't think too much about things that have no results." In that case...... It's so tiring. ”
"Do you really think so? But you have obviously ...... with Your Highness" Lu'er's words stopped talking, but Ruoxi had already understood what she meant, he laughed, and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, "So what you want to say is this, hey, I said you, have you been entangled all the way for this problem?" "No wonder Lu'er's attitude towards herself along the way is so bad and strange.
"Men and women can enjoy each other, ah, no, maybe not so much at first, but...... You know what? Late at night, it's not cold but there is someone to hug around, and this feeling is very satisfying, uh, not that kind of satisfaction, but ...... Well, just feel less empty and scared. Hehe, a strong woman like you can't understand, right? Actually, I just figured out this question, maybe I didn't want this person, but I was just obsessed with this feeling of being at ease. ”
What a weird inner monologue! Ruoxi's voice was low and flat when he spoke, as if it was really like the stream of the gods flowing with clean and clear water, not like the rolling waves of the big river, just a calm and slow flow but with a quiet power, as if as long as he looked at the river, all the uneasiness in his heart would be washed away.
Lu'er lowered her head, not knowing how much to listen to these words.
Ruoxi looked at her puzzled expression, smiled lightly, and raised her hand to pat her on the shoulder, as if relieved, as if to reassure, "I'm not in a hurry to get you to agree with my words for a while, but in the future, one day you will understand the meaning of my words." She paused, looking at the person in front of her with an eye that bordered on compassion, "Actually, I prefer that you don't understand these words for the rest of your life, because ...... Those who can understand it are poor people. Ruoxi left these obscure words, turned around and left. Well, that's right, it was a fluttering departure, and at that moment Lu'er was a little stunned, she was very puzzled by the behavior of this little maid who only knew how to pat on the back would say such a profound truth.
"But perhaps, is it ...... that Your Highness is so fascinated by her because of this?" Looking at the vanished back, Lu'er muttered to herself. At the end, she remembered the purpose of coming to Bai Ruoxi just now. lifted his skirt and ran after him, shouting, "Bai Ruoxi, you wait." ”
"People are going to Xiaojie, don't catch up."
"Bai Ruoxi! I told you to wait! Stop! ”
"No, no! I can't help it! ”
So, on the night when His Royal Highness came back, the people of the Forgotten Soul Hall were surprised to find that the two celebrities around the two Highnesses who were like fire and water had a good relationship, not only did the two stick together and say a lot of things, but they were even inseparable from such a thing. Sure enough, His Royal Highness took the two of them on a trip together, and for a while, the admiration of the little palace maids for Wei Sa surged.
And then ...... On this night when she had a good conversation with Lu'er, Ruoxi forgot to go to the dormitory to wait for Wei Sa, which was a "very important thing". At the same time, I didn't see the heart of the green child who caught up with him.
