Twenty-four (3) On the eve of dawn, things are as usual
Yushan is famous for its natural hot springs.
It is not just a mountain, but a mountain range, the Yueshan Mountain Range, headed by the Yueshan Mountain, is undulating and stretches for hundreds of miles.
The geographical location is on the outskirts of Yaori City, far away from the royal capital. The Yueshan Mountains are vast and rich, inheriting the tranquility and tranquility before the invasion of war, there are villages at the foot of the mountains more than ten miles away, there are abandoned ancient temples, there are markets and restaurants in the village, there are all kinds of businesses that the city should have, and it is not impossible to become a county by itself, but it is necessary to be a subsidiary of the royal capital.
Nonsense! When people go out, they can still drag a sentence that I am from the royal capital, that is much more beautiful than the mountain Kaka in Yueshan County!
Yueshan Mountain Range, at this time closest to the royal capital region is the most popular and most sought-after, is the Yueshan led by the mountain range, the victory is in the scenery is beautiful and does not lose the mood, the vast woods are sparse and dense, and the streamer sprinkled is also the mystery of the picture scroll, perennial lingering faint Lan Qi, more strange. Having said that, with the above conditions, even if the geographical location is remote, it will not affect the interest of the princes and nobles to visit here from time to time.
At this time, it is not surprising that there are a few unidentified carriages at the foot of the mountain.
Rongjin folk style is not pedantic, so from time to time there is a noble son who pulls a lady to a private meeting or something, Yue Shansheng is big enough in the wide boundary, to have mountains and mountains and water, even if there are many people, it is not easy to bump into each other, so as not to expose a romantic affair, so as to become the commonly known 'dating holy land'.
But it's a pity that after a glance at the hot springs, no one dares to soak in the crowds.
It's a pity, it's a pity.
Sima Xuan's carriage stopped all the way, and Fufeng drove the carriage directly around the front mountain and walked a long way.
Along the way, Sima Xuan was silent, but Dongfang Yan was a little unaccustomed, "What kind of wind is blowing today?" Prince Sima, who has always jumped out, has played deeply? "As everyone knows, the second prince has always been very deep when he is out alone, but he has to be so embarrassed to be close to the people alone.
At this time, he got out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of helping him get out of the carriage, holding up a silent invitation with one hand, seeing that Dongfang Yan got out of the carriage but the painting style changed abruptly, he smiled toothily, and his handsome face in the sun was particularly exquisite, "Yan'er, now there are no outsiders, you can call me Xuan." ”
Dongfang Yan sneered, as if he was amused, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he might not have seen his smile for a long time, and he was also a little happy at this time, so he smiled and asked, "Yo, what?" So transparent today? ”
Holding his hand with one hand and jumping out of the carriage, looking around, the scenery is beautiful, and he is also very satisfied.
This is a gentle hillside, on the back of the Yushan Mountains, the shallow grass has no knees, the fragrance of flowers and herbs is in the wind, and it is rare to see such a vibrant place in the near autumn season, so that people who are used to seeing the gloom of autumn recently have a different refreshing feeling at this time.
Due to the shallow slope, the carriage easily drove halfway up the mountain.
The slope of the Yueshan mountain range is gentle, but it cannot be denied that the terrain is high, and looking far to the east is a small mountain range, such a location can overlook the panoramic view, there are dotted dwellings, the smoke is misty, quiet and warm.
Sima Xuan stepped forward and stood side by side with her, "Yan'er, sure enough, when someone was there, you were deliberately alienating me?" ”
"I'll say my cousin won't tell you, it's smart if you can guess it yourself." Dongfang Yan did not deny it, at this time, he smiled at him, and his words were infinitely intimate, as if he had returned to the peaceful and comfortable days of Yanyuan. Just because of her smile and soft words, the high wall between the two of them that had been built because of her estrangement quietly collapsed, so easily.
He sighed, "Yan'er, do you think it's necessary to do this?" ”
She didn't hesitate, "It's necessary, for you or me, both." Looking far away, she squatted down and patted the lawn on her back, but did not continue to explain, smiled and patted the lawn next to her, and asked with a smile: "Come and lie down?" Much more comfortable than the roof of Yurong Garden. ”
The corners of Sima Xuan's mouth twitched, but she couldn't help it, she had never cared about these false courtesies, if he cared too much, he would be hypocritical, since the two met.
At this time, he also lay down beside her, looking down at the clouds in the sky.
The breeze is gentle, but it is also not pleasant.
"Actually, you shouldn't care about my attitude, do you? Back to the royal capital that you think about day and night, so many relatives and friends revolve around you, it should be what you want, why do you have to find an opportunity to ask clearly? Dongfang Yan's tone was relaxed, but it was more like speaking from the perspective of a bystander, as if the person was no longer in the game.
"What about you? Why not make it clear? Could it be that my homesickness has something to do with our friendship? Sima Xuan pursed his lips lightly, but he retorted disapprovingly, "Yes, surrounded by relatives here, so what?" What about you? So, you can't treat me as a friend? From the time I came back to the present, I was puzzled and depressed, and I turned my head to look at her expression seriously, waiting for her answer.
"Second Prince." "You can be my friend, in fact." ”
Sima Xuan's expression was angry because of her ups and downs, and then he was relieved, annoyed by her estrangement, and when he heard the latter sentence, he was soothed, and it seemed that his emotions were always controlled by her.
"But have you ever thought about it?" She stretched out her hand and pointed to the white clouds in the sky, "You are the prince, and your status is unmatched." Dongfang Yan wanted to make an analogy between cloud and mud, but he was never willing to take it seriously as a mud comparison, so he tore off an unknown white flower on the side of his cheek, "And me?" It's just an unfavored daughter, who has no mother since birth, and her father doesn't love her mother, just like the wildflowers on the ground. said that his father didn't love his mother and didn't love the fact that he was so sad, but he had a flat look, as if he wasn't talking about his own business.
After a pause, he gave Sima Xuan time to think, and then said, "Besides, how can the world pass on me?" The demon girl, who made a mistake in her fate and killed her mother, is notorious. ”
He didn't seem to expect her to know so clearly, his face turned pale, and he was about to say something in a hurry, but Dongfang Yan didn't care about such remarks, and didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "In private, we are friends, we can get along like friends, but what about in this capital? How many eyes are staring at you, no one knows that we are learning to play and read and write together, and in the eyes of others, the two of us should be two parallel lines that are like strangers. She stretched out her hand in mid-air and drew the meaning of parallel lines, and then spoke: "Then at this time, what if you continue to get along like friends?" ”
Sima Xuan never thought about it, and was a little stunned at this time.
Dongfang Yan laughed at himself and revealed the mystery.
"People will say that the demon girl bewitches the prince, and even ......" Dongfang Yan paused slightly, thinking about the wording, "Let's take this attack as an example, if we are inexplicably close, and this kind of thing happens, what will the outside say?" ”
Sima Xuan thought about it, and his face turned pale.
She crushed the white flower in her hand, waved her hand, let it float, and said the cruel truth word by word, her face was calm but silent, and it was terrifying, "The demon girl made a mistake and collided with the life of the second prince." ”
He wanted to speak and stopped, but Dongfang Yan continued to talk to himself.
"Even if you don't believe it, the emperor doesn't believe it, and the grandfather doesn't believe it, what about the people?" Dongfang Yan smiled calmly and said the terrible end, "The people believe in everything, and they will believe everything, what should you do when you shout and shout to kill the people and kill the demon girl?" What should I do? ”
Sima Xuan's face turned pale, it was not that there had never been such a thing before, although it was a long, long time ago, Sima Xuan, who was well-read, did not know such a precedent, but at this time he bluntly refuted: "But that is just a rumor." ”
After speaking, thinking about the precedent in the history books, it seems that the argument is so pale and weak that I can't even convince myself.
"Yes, rumors, even if they are just rumors, the more people spread them, the more they will be true, and even if you don't believe it, you can't help it." Dongfang Yan calmly analyzed the cruel reality, "Come again, even if you escape this time, what about next time?" If there is a big flood and an earthquake, it will be blamed on my head, and the people will be angry and admonished, and the people will be angry, and everyone will be able to protect me? The words were questioning, but they were affirmative.
Sima Xuan was stunned, but he didn't refute after all.
Even if Dongfang Yan is exaggerating, it is not unreasonable, the history of the past and the teacher of the future, Dongfang Yan has been sent to the wild goose garden since birth and still has not been able to resist the persecution of public opinion, and now he is still helpless with the title of a demon girl, Sima Xuan is powerless to refute, and seems to have figured out something.
"So, pretending not to know you to the outside is good for you and for me." Dongfang Yan sighed after speaking, and seemed to be very guilty about explaining the darkness of the world to a bright person like Sima Xuan. And she, who has always given priority to reason, has always considered everything and always excluded herself, but she doesn't seem to think that someone has a sincere heart and gave this short and beautiful childhood sweetheart a leisurely time.
"Xuan, to be honest, these shouldn't be up to me, as a prince, you should be able to make a choice, you should expect that people's politics is the most difficult thing to guess in the world, not to mention national affairs, but just this assassination, you should expect something."
Sima Xuan never thought deeply, and when he heard Dongfang Yan say it, he suddenly cleared the fog that was lingering in his heart but he didn't want to get rid of it, "But the war has just stabilized, will anyone want to raise troops again?" People are tired and have a lot of work to do, and this time is not right. ”
Obviously, he had thought about it a long time ago, but he didn't want to believe that the people who had just experienced the devastation of the war would want to raise troops again?
Dongfang Yan sighed secretly, after all, he is still too simple when he is younger, it is very simple and good, it is good to appear in anyone, but he is the prince, and no matter how Sima Jia's godson has a way, he will not see the battle for the throne for the time being, but it seems that the identity of the prince of a country alone is already very unsuitable.
However, out of kindness, Dongfang Yan still opened his mouth to remind: "Xuan, people's hearts are treacherous, some of them are not so simple as you think, let alone from your point of view, you must start from the political situation and interests, this is the perspective you should use as a prince." ”
Saying that, Dongfang Yan got up, patted the grass clippings on his body, stood up and looked at Sima Xuan from zero to zero.
He sat up and looked up into her eyes.
In her eyes, the ancient well was bottomless, and the blade-like chill flowed inadvertently, and she was already frightened.
If Sima Sheng heard these remarks, he would definitely praise him: "This girl has a political mind and is far-sighted!" ”
However, Dongfang Yan didn't want to be heard by anyone, just mentioning Sima Xuan here.
After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain, the shallow grass seemed to pull the hem of his clothes, gradually deepened, and then walked, there were more low shrubs and scattered unknown flowers.
Until I walked to a spring, looking around, the spring water was as vast as a lake, bubbling with wisps of white gas, and I thought it was the famous Yue Spring of Yue Mountain.
Stretching out his hand to push aside the low shrubs half a person high, the scattered carriages at the foot of the mountain can already be faintly seen......
Sima Xuan caught up, "Yan'er, do you like it here?" ”
Dongfang Yan nodded subconsciously, but when he reacted, he was helpless, he just explained to him and returned to his original state in a blink of an eye, thinking that he would restrain a little bit if he said that the matter was serious, and pretended not to know her......
"Eh......" Dongfang Yan was reluctant to face him in a didactic way, so he tore off a small white flower beside him in a frustrated manner, and saw clearly at a glance, the original white flowers dotted in the mountains and forests were suddenly patches of Manzhu Shahua, swaying silently in the autumn wind like a wave gently dragging in the waves, speaking of flowers, it is very in line with the current situation.
So he handed him Manju Sawa in his hand.
"Although I hope that you will always be simple and beautiful, I also hope that you can see more clearly the darkest corner of the world - the human heart."
Thinking in his heart, don't talk about going back to Yanyuan in a few days, he can't go back to Yanyuan, the situation is turbulent and people are panicking, as a prince, he must not go far away from the king and risk his life, so he wants to come to Dongfang Yan is also a little worried about him.
White Manju Sawa - simple and beautiful, but also means parting......
Seeing that he was stunned, she endured and endured it after all, but she couldn't hold back after all, "Xuan, see the situation clearly, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." Xu realized that the parting was approaching, and Dongfang Yan couldn't hold back his sentimentality, after getting along for so long, it was time to mention it.
But I didn't know that Sima Xuan lost his mind for a while, and subconsciously took the flower and solemnly held it in the palm of his hand, but a dream of a certain night appeared in his mind, how similar it was, especially the person who held the flower......
When he came back to his senses, Dongfang Yan had already walked away.
Sima Xuan hurriedly chased down.
"Wild goose." But two sounds sounded at the same time.
