He hid his face and smiled: "You are really the most interesting girl I have ever seen besides her." ”

It's the first time I've seen him smile in a few days, and I've been frowning like that just now, but now I'm relieved.

"What kind of person is she?" I responded to him.

"She's just as interesting as you are."

I was amused by him, I don't know what the point of chatting with him is, although this is the case, it is always good to be able to relieve boredom.

"You smile a lot like her."

He may not know that he is also very much like Chu Muxiu when he is quiet, and at that moment I feel that we may really be as predestined as Mo'er said. We are the same kind of people, we have all been hurt in life, we have lost in love, our experiences are very different, so we all long for someone in our lives who can heal our wounds.

"Your Highness has learned a good piano skill, this room is a little boring, I wonder if I can play another song?"

"You unlocked Kong Ming's lock for Prince Ben and solved the troubles that have plagued me for a long time, and Prince Ben should thank you."

As he spoke, he moved his gaze to the piano, his slender fingers on the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano hit my ears. There is a long meaning in the sound of the piano, like the sorrow of an aspiring person, like the helplessness of a frog at the bottom of a well who can't look up to the world, and like the infatuation that people who love each other can't stay together for a lifetime.

The table is filled with Zixu's unique plum tea, Zixu is mild and rich in plums all year round, the people of Zixu are diligent in opening up the wasteland, simple plums can make a lot of food, I heard that the plum wine there is very distinctive, among other vassal states is famous for its mellow, and the peach blossom wine of Nanshan is the same, but Mama does not drink so she can only bring some plum tea out.

When this plum tea approaches, it has a faint plum fragrance, and when you drink it in your mouth, it is sweet and sour like the hawthorn fruit in a sugar gourd. There is a pear blossom planted in the yard, and the flowers are lighter than the peach blossoms, and when the wind blows, the pear blossoms fall as if they are raining pear blossoms. The pear blossoms fell on my head, on my shoulders, and in my teacup, I reached out to pick up the pear blossoms on my shoulders, and then looked up to see that the strings of His Royal Highness's jade qin had long been covered with a few large and small pear blossoms, and I buried my head in the teacup, and the teacup was already full of flowers.

Appreciating the piano and tasting tea is really leisurely. I have repeatedly imagined that when I am old, I will find a leisurely residence like this where I can see the yellow mud when I look down, the blue sky and white clouds when I look up, and the stars in the sky above my head at night, and in which only I and the person who has been with me all my life live. Since the day Daddy died, I no longer dared to ask for such a life, only for peace. But here I feel an unprecedented peace, I admit that I am content, I recognize, I recognize the existing life; I was thinking about how to get to know the past thoroughly, and I didn't want to hate anymore, because hatred is really more tiring than love.

The plum tea in his hand has been drunk, and the sound of the piano has gradually dissipated. He couldn't bear to take his fingers off the strings, but he looked up and asked me, "How is this playing?" ”

"Your Highness has superb piano skills, and this piano is played very well."

"What do you hear from the sound of the piano?"

I put down the teacup and said unfinished, "The sound of this piano is tactful and melodious, as crisp as a clear spring hitting a rock, but as low as a big pendulum in the temple, with a trace of sorrow, a little bit of resentment, the helplessness that I want to understand but always understand, and the struggle that I want to get rid of but can't let go." ”

"Say it!"

"Say what?" His sudden question left me scratching my head for a moment, thinking that I should not be behaving inappropriately or saying the wrong thing.

"Tell me your story."

"Why does Your Highness suddenly want to know about me?"

"You are as young as you and can understand the meaning of my piano sound, and you can still make such comments on my piano sound, if you either have a certain degree of attainment in piano art or have experienced the vicissitudes of life that others have not tasted."

His clear eyes shone brightly, as if he could look into the bottom of people's hearts. Tale? What is my story? However, like everyone in this world, she came to this world in October, waiting to be fed a meal and a soup to grow up, once young and frivolous, empty-eyed, experienced life and death, and looked down on the worldly things, but now it is just an empty shelf that is inviolable.

"Okay, I'll just take it as a courtesy." He is also my savior, and I also know a thing or two about him and Ling Yue.

"My story is longer than yours, you have to be patient and sit still."

He nodded slightly, his brow unsightly stretched.

"That was the first time I entered the palace when I was a child......"

I spoke very seriously, and told him almost unreservedly everything, which had been pressed on my heart for too long, and it was hard to find someone to talk to, and I was not willing to be stingy even if it was about anything. He listened very seriously, just like the first time he saw Ling Yue, his whole face was expectant, his face was happy and sad, just like when I was a child, I heard Aunt Song talk about the Three Kingdoms, I listened to it with relish at that time, but until now I don't know whether Liu Bang is a good person or a bad person.

When I finished my story, it was almost dusk, and I smiled lightly and ended with a solemn face, as if all these tragedies had happened to him, as if he could put himself in my shoes, as if I was so pitiful and pathetic.

"That's it." The big stone in my heart finally fell, like the joy of falling leaves floating to the ground, like a wanderer finding home.

He was also shocked, looking at me as if he was pitiful and like he could sing and cry, he never thought that there would be a stupid person like me in this world, and there would be such a stupid story about me and Chu Muxiu. Compared with the crown prince and Ling Yue, I think Chu Muxiu and I are lucky, after all, he and I are still in the world, and we don't have to bear the bitter crying of two places; And I think the crown prince and Ling Yue are luckier than us, because I am really not as good as hell on earth with him.

His bright eyes drooped and gradually darkened, "Then do you hate him?" ”

Hate is like a knife piercing my heart directly, like being sucked dry little by little by a blood-sucking bastard, "He once used me, betrayed me, and killed my loved ones in front of me, I said I don't hate you to believe it?" ”

He asked me, "If you had a sharp sword in your hand, if he were standing before you at this time, would you kill him?" ”

I once stabbed him in the chest with a hairpin, and after I stabbed it, I realized that I was so scared, so cowardly, and I told myself countless times that I should hate him, but I still couldn't make up my mind to kill him. I don't know when when I looked back on those past events and suddenly realized that I didn't hate him anymore.

I thought for a long time: "I don't know. At first, I wanted to kill him, but gradually I stopped hating, I know that everyone has his own unspeakable secrets, we are born without owing others, there is no need to live for anyone, there is no need to work hard for anyone, and it is really tiring to spend a lifetime hating someone. ”

If I could really choose my own life, I wouldn't have traveled all the way to this place, and I wouldn't be standing here today listening to him play the piano.

His Royal Highness didn't ask too much about the fact that I was a fake princess, and maybe he didn't care about that. A high-ranking prince already has the most beautiful glory and wealth in the world, what is true and what is false?

When I talked about myself, I couldn't open the conversation anymore, and I didn't say a word. We sat with our backs to each other, I don't know how long, and the sunset was shining on my cheeks as warm as ever.

"Do you know how to play chess?" After a long time he asked me.

"I know a little bit about fur, but I'm not good at chess." Daddy likes to play chess, and he used to learn a little from Daddy.

"Yes, how about we play a game of chess?"

"Sacrifice ugliness."

So, the chess game was immediately laid out, and I played white and he played black.

The prince's gaze was fixed on the entire chessboard, his mind wandering, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had played chess so quietly with others, his hand touched the chess pieces in his hand without purpose, as if he was thinking about something. At first I didn't think much of it, and gently and quietly landed the pieces somewhere on the board. He stretched out his hand and put the chess piece behind my chess piece, trying to block my way, I moved cleverly to find another exit, he twisted his hand and landed the chess piece in the center, he had a chance to eat my pawn but he wanted to put the chess in the center, let me unload his horse, what did he think? Is he already so sure he can beat me?

Although I had unloaded his horse before, I didn't care about the pawn behind me, and I didn't know how to start with this white piece. Looking at the prince opposite, he picked up a cup of tea from the table and dipped it in his mouth, his squinting eyes mixed with a hint of evil spirit, and the slight smile on the corner of his mouth already hinted at everything. He had already planned the chess game and was waiting for this good show for a long time.

I held my breath and could only turn the tide and put the chess pieces in the best position to keep a general, and he slowly put down the teaglass, and there was still an evil smile under the teacup. He frowned and landed the piece on the edge, and the moment he left his hand, the outcome was a foregone conclusion. His chess style was originally disorganized, and it was simply a mess, but that move just now completely messed up my pace like the finishing touch, and overturned the layout of my entire chessboard. He was so thoughtful that he advanced by retreating, first pretending that he was incompetent and letting his opponent get through the hole, and then taking advantage of the opponent's physical strength to eat his soldiers and unload his horse, he used a trick to make the man deadly.

I took the chess pieces back: "Your Highness is a superb chess player, and I am convinced of losing." ”

He was obviously not satisfied, and said, "The first time you played chess with me, it was good to be able to play this step." ”

"It's still early, how about we go to the next game?"

I saw that he was in high spirits and wanted to win the next set, so I nodded and said yes.

He won my whole game with just one chess piece, he was delicate but not competitive, looking at the empty eyes and actually planning everything in his heart, I have to say that playing chess with such a person is really a risk.
