The next heavy city
In the twilight Zaoyan Palace, there is only the cry of Tao Guifei at this moment, and the sighs of me and Cao Gongling one after another. Duobu stood beside the stone table, his expression was calm, his eyes were blazing, he only stared at the sundial in front of him, he never glanced at me from beginning to end, and he ignored the mournful and howling Tao Guifei in the courtyard. In the meantime, when I unintentionally looked up to see her, the corners of her mouth even rose slightly, and her eyes showed a playful look, as if she was laughing. I was stunned, and my heart snorted, and a chill arose at the flat end.
I know that Duobu is indifferent, but I never think she is cold-blooded, but now it seems that Duobu's cold-bloodedness is just not for me.
Although Tao Guifei can't be said to be innocent, she didn't hurt me and treated me well, so I came to see her, so I couldn't turn a blind eye to her sorrow and be indifferent. Take 10,000 steps back, and even if I can't feel pity for her, I will never laugh at her. Everyone's way of life is different, and their choices are different, just like I can't point to Tan Duobu's insensitivity at this time, I can only marvel at how she can laugh at others while watching coldly. I am not overflowing with sympathy, for Tao Guifei, I only hope that she can live in a corner and spend the second half of her life smoothly, which can be regarded as thinking of the old love.
I stroked the words on the pipa - seek benevolence and be benevolent, and be obedient. The handwriting is scribbled, mottled and twisted.
I couldn't help but wonder, "This is really ugly, it's comparable to mine."
I put down the lute. suddenly had a question, and finally asked her: "Tao Niangniang, when you tell me this, do you think I am Dongjia?"
Now she had cried enough, her tears were gone, and she was calm and peaceful. Hearing my question, she nodded without hesitation, and she replied frankly, "It should be." I'm good to you, and I probably really think of you as Dongjia. Although, you don't look like her at all, not at all. β
I said, "If it's not like it, why do you still misrecognize?"
She picked up the pipa again, looked sideways, and whispered, "Perhaps, in addition to Dong Jia, you are the first Beiqiu person to step into the wall of Nanzhan Palace in the past twenty years. I know that you have nothing to do with her, but I can't help but imagine you as her. When she came to Nanzhan to look like you, I don't mean looks, but your speech and demeanor. She can't speak Chinese well, she can't eat white rice, your temperament is similar, lively like a wanton galloping foal on the grassland, you are all fans of small wealth, like shiny silver, pearls of Ming Yeye, collect pearls and hairpins, and Langhuan jade. When I was a child, no matter who I or Anping was rewarded, I would give her half of it, and every time she received it, she would smile from ear to ear. β
As she spoke, she grinned, tears streaming down her face, her words stumbling and stumbling, and it seemed that she had not yet come to her senses.
I asked out loud: "You obviously hate Dongjia so much and regard her as an enemy, why have you let her go for so many years?"
Tao Guifei cast a surprised look at me, and then lowered her eyes and smiled, "Yes, why do I remember her so much, I really don't know." She and Anping were my closest friends when I was in the boudoir. But I've treated Dong Jia differently since I was a child, and her weight in my heart is far more important than Anping. Moreover, she was destroyed by my own hands, and I remember her like this, maybe because I feel guilty. β
It's not that difficult to talk to crazy people, just ask less and listen more.
I sighed silently and looked up at the beams.
The horn of the painting sounded suddenly, and the swifts on the beam flew up, overwhelmingly swooping into the air and weaving a net. Suddenly, a strong southerly wind blew the net away, and the disturbing sound of the horn also alarmed the partridges perched on the black tree, and the black cry did not stop for a while.
It was getting late, I couldn't delay any longer, I got up and wanted to leave, but Tao Guifei called me again.
I turned to stare at her, she was in tears, and slowly asked, "Missing, do you think there is really red snow in this world?"
Why would she ask me this?
I was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, she said to herself: "Dong Jia told me that this is a myth that has been circulating in Beiqiu for a long time. She said that if a desperate person can see the red snow in his life, he will be able to regret it in his life, as if he has lived again...... But after all these years, I haven't seen a single snow, let alone red snow. β
After she said this, she began to fall silent again.
ββββ
I finally rushed out of the Qianyuan Gate when the palace gate was closed, and there was a drizzle and rain in the sky, and the cold rain after the autumn was the most hurtful, hitting the face with a cold one.
Although the rain was not heavy, it was more than enough to wet clothes and hair. We were in a hurry, and we didn't have umbrellas with us, so Duobu and I had to trot to the courtyard where the park was parked.
I didn't talk to Duobu all the way, not because of me, but because she didn't want to speak. I don't know how I offended her.
I thought about it repeatedly in my mind, all I heard from Tao Guifei, and I had doubts in my heart, I don't know why Tao Guifei would tell me these old things, these things were originally secretive, and they should be buried deep in my heart, how could she mention them to me as an outsider.
The confusing palace turmoil, the wind and moon that was covered by the conspiracy, all these things have nothing to do with me, but because it happened to someone I know, I can't help but care about it.
I haven't been in Nanzhan for a long time, but more or less, I have heard people talk about the palace change launched by the former prince of Nanzhan. After the light of the storm recedes, only a scar left by the bloody regime. This calamity was widely implicated, and so many people who died were piled up into mountains, and those who were close to the prince Bailifu suffered, even those who had a little dealings were also affected by the pond fish. The Southern Emperor killed the red eye and almost wiped out the prince's maternal family, the Zhou family, leaving only a few girls.
I suddenly remembered that Yun Kang had told me that her biological mother was also surnamed Zhou, and that she was reduced to an official maid because of a misfortune in her family, and later became her father's concubine. Could it be that Yunkang's mother is still a descendant of the Zhou family?
Most likely.
It stands to reason that the crown prince was defeated by rebellion, which is a heinous crime, not only will he die, but as the crown princess, Yu Pengpeng, her mother family will definitely suffer the sin of joint sitting, and they will be destroyed together. At the worst, they will be exiled from their homes, and at worst, they will be destroyed and beheaded. However, the Yu family was able to retreat with their whole body intact, and the soldiers were not damaged. I think it was probably because of the power accumulated by the Yong Wangfu in the past dynasties that the Southern Emperor was afraid, which allowed the Yu clan to be spared. But it still doesn't make sense, Nandi is suspicious by nature, cold and irritable, even if he doesn't move at home, it is impossible to act as if nothing has happened. But in fact, the Southern Emperor trusted King Yong as always, and was repeatedly promoted and entrusted with important tasks. Judging from Nandi's complex character, it is really incredible.
I pity all the people in this story, both alive and dead.
I can't say why I always think about these things that shouldn't be thought about by me, but I just can't control it.
He shook his head violently and sped up to speed forward.
When I boarded the bus, I suddenly heard someone calling me from behind me, back
When I looked at it, it was a long pole. He held an oil-paper umbrella painted with gardenia patterns, standing tall under a kapok tree, and squatted at his feet with a lunar eclipse. I was overjoyed and ran to him.
I put my arms around his waist and knowingly asked, "What are you doing here?"
He smiled, scratched my nose as usual, and said loudly, "Naturally, I came to find my wife who has not returned for a long time."
I smiled and didn't say a word, just clinging to his arms, completely oblivious to the steps and eclipses that were there.
After getting into the carriage, I sat down with Changji.
On both sides of Suzaku Street, the tomatoes are depressed and redundant, like small lanterns. The carriage drove smoothly, without the slightest bump, and it was very easy to get sleepy in such a comfortable environment, and I yawned one after another, and stretched my waist very exaggeratedly. Zhen opened his arms and slammed into Changji's face, he was not annoyed, only smiled helplessly.
I was embarrassed to step forward, pulled him over with one hand and hugged him, then leaned my head up, and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't have to test your fame, why are you reading books all the time."
He replied to me, "It's not for fame and fortune, but it's good to read more." It's not the Taoist who comes to make the joke, Zhou Qing Kong Si is pursuing. β
I pouted, "I don't understand what to say." Do you want to tell me something, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book? If yes, then don't talk about it, I'm tired of hearing clichΓ©s like this. I just learned that sentence recently, the pillow is a good place to relax with poetry and books, and the scenery in front of the door is good. It's much more beautiful than what you said. β
"You know a lot, and you can read words." He bent his fingers and flicked my head lightly, smiling brightly.
I was so proud that I raised my chin and boasted, "That's natural, I'm serious about reading and studying now." Over time, it will become a great tool, and the next talent will not be me. β
I was stunned for a moment, and then laughed aloud. After laughing, he put down the case file in his hand and hugged me, resting his chin on the top of my head, and spoke to me gently.
I just leaned on his arms, and I replied without a match.
His voice was a little hoarse, and he asked me, "Have you seen Tao Guifei?"
I snorted.
He hesitated, thought for a moment, and then said, "What did you all say, that you went to this day..."
"We didn't say anything important, just trivial matters." She's delirious and crazy now, and where can she talk to me about anything. β
He looked down at me, seemed to smile, and with a sense of helplessness: "I'm a little sad, you still have reservations about me?" β
I was a little dazed, looked up at him, swallowed my saliva and asked, "You can see it?"
He sighed and frowned, "Even though you are very good at lying, I am even better at lying."
I passed it in my heart, and I was silent for a while, and finally I explained everything to him. The reason why I hesitated just now was not to hide him, but I was afraid that I would say something wrong outside and accidentally fall into the ears of others, which may harm Changji.
I don't bother myself, but I'm afraid of misunderstanding him.
At the end of the story, Bai Lifu and his pregnant princess died tragically in this power struggle, Anping married the king of Yonghe as he wished, Tao Dye Yi became the talented person of the Southern Emperor, which is now Tao Guifei, as for Dong Jia, who has the same blood as me, but she is nowhere to be found, and no one has even heard of her again, as if this person has never appeared.
