Chapter 14: Return
Lin Chengzhi still spoke unhurriedly: "No." Then he paused, and then said, "A few days will be the day of my mother's death." ”
When she heard this, she lost her mind a little, it turned out that it was for this, "Then I'm going to go too." She didn't ask him, as if she was just telling him a fact.
He thanked again, and then said, "You are also tired today, go back early to rest." This night, he didn't go back to the room, he didn't say that she didn't want to ask, maybe he was summoned by the emperor and encountered something unpleasant.
In the past few days, the prince's mansion has been very busy, she asked Tao Ling Sakura Ling to know that it was preparing for the death day of the first lady, she asked them every year they are so well prepared, I thought the answer would be yes, but I didn't think Sakura Ling would answer like this: In the past, it was in the General's Mansion, and it was naturally too ostentatious to have a new lady, and the new lady has always not been waiting to see the son, the general didn't say anything, so naturally she became more and more rampant, and later didn't let people mention this day, His Royal Highness will only follow the royal palace team on a certain day. But now it's different, His Royal Highness the Prince has his own mansion, and this first year's death day is naturally decent.
It turned out that he had not been happy all these years.
The day came quickly, and she did a lot of homework in advance. Although in Xishu, paying tribute to the ancestors is not a thing to be taken on the table, and there will always be hundreds of people to worship like the Central Plains, but they follow the customs, after all, it is also Lin Chengzhi's biological mother.
Along the way, everyone invariably restrained their expressions, which was the least respect for the dead. There were a total of ten carriages in front of and behind, six of which came out of the palace, one from the General's Mansion and three from the Prince's Mansion. From the palace to the long street, from the market to the imperial mausoleum, the people along the way only knew that the momentum was huge, and very few people remembered that today was the death day of Princess Murong Yu of Changning. Just like back then, few people remember that there was an eldest princess who married away from home......
She has never seen such a fight scene, Xishu is not a small country but it is not a big country, compared to the Southern Dynasty, it is still inferior. Fuli and Lin Chengzhi sat in a carriage, but they didn't say a word from beginning to end. She knew that today was the death day of his biological mother, and she shouldn't disturb him, but this day was tiring, and no matter how tough her body was, she still had to eat.
"I've got some pastries, why don't you put them on the line?"
"No, I'm not hungry." No more talk.
Fu Fu thought that he couldn't force others to eat, so he gave up, and had to use his lack of hunger to convince himself.
The imperial mausoleum is very large, the four walls are carved with gold, engraved with the mantra of the Buddha Gate excess, the arched staircase is placed on the spirit card of the royal family of the ancestors of the past dynasties, I heard that the lamp oil is not extinguished here all the year round, and it is said that it is to comfort the soul. I saw that the spirit card in the direction opposite the incense was engraved with nine big characters: the monument of Princess Murong Yu of Changning. She didn't think it was strange that the words on the spirit card were not the general's wife, after all, she had already heard a little about her deeds when she came to the Central Plains.
She blended in with the crowd, carefully looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, there were people who looked indifferent and looked like they didn't care about themselves, and there were people who pretended to be sad and sad. Only those who are truly sad are silent, because their hearts are dripping blood...... Maybe she can't understand this painful desire to the marrow, because the most painful thing she has ever experienced is marrying away from home. She wanted to step forward to comfort him, but her feet seemed to be nailed, and she couldn't move her steps, maybe it wouldn't be very abrupt if she didn't go, maybe his mother didn't like the Xishu people, or she was not satisfied with her daughter-in-law. I don't know when, she was vigorous and resolute in Xishu, looking like a commanding man, and when she arrived in the Southern Dynasty, she was a little cowering, and changes will change people, she always believes in this sentence.
She suddenly thought that she was also a princess, but her fate was better than that of Princess Changning, maybe it was just that she married Lin Chengzhi, that gentle and subtle, breezy and moon-like person. Her eyes subconsciously looked at Lin Chengzhi, and then noticed that the person next to him was also looking at her, the moment they looked at each other, her heart sank, not afraid of him, but she didn't want to see him, it seems that the first impression is really important, this is the so-called preconceived idea.
Murong Ye raised his eyebrows at her, Fu Li didn't want to pay attention to him, and quickly turned his face away, thinking that it was really ghostly. But what did he want, it was obviously his fault, how could he make it as if she had done something wrong. No, she didn't want to breathe the air with him anymore, she was afraid she would suffocate.
When she left the imperial tomb, she suddenly felt that the air was fresh, and she didn't know that the worship would be so unreasonable, so she waited in the carriage and fell asleep. She also had a dream, dreaming that Lin Chengzhi was looking for her everywhere, and she was still hiding behind Shi Yan and quietly watching him anxious, this voice became more and more appropriate and more real. Fuli sat up suddenly, looked around, except for the carriage or the carriage, she was silent for a while before she suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance, she listened with her ears sideways, and her heart suddenly cooled, they called: Princess Shizi...... If nothing else, it should be her, it's over! This is a big disaster.
She hurriedly went out, and was bumped into Lin Cheng's nervous face covered with beads of sweat, she showed a weak expression, and was about to open her mouth to say something, when she heard him say: "Ruining, let everyone go back, the princess has found it." ”
Rui Ning glanced at his master's face, didn't dare to say a word, and walked towards the crowd.
Fu Li, who was standing at the head of the carriage, lowered his eyes, as if he knew he was wrong, and saw that Lin Chengzhi was about to come up, so he hurriedly sat back. Lin Chengzhi didn't get angry with her from beginning to end, nor did he say a cruel word to her, just sat quietly beside her, and listened to the crowd of people walking outside with her complaining: "How old are they, I don't know where I went to notify in advance, so that everyone is easy to find, it's really uneducated!" ”
"Harm, she is the princess of Xishu, and she is the princess of the world, and her status is noble, so we can only eat coptis dumbly."
"Who said it wasn't, I think only His Royal Highness the Prince can stand her, and I can't complain that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is going to withdraw from other people's marriages, I see, it's good to retreat."
"It's just that today is already unlucky, and you still made such a ...... If it weren't for Your Majesty......"
"No one is forcing you to come."
Everyone looked at each other, and when they saw that it was His Royal Highness the Prince, they bowed down one after another, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister didn't mean that, the old minister was ......."
"It's dissatisfied with the princess."
The people looked at each other and stopped talking. Fuli doesn't know when he went down, maybe he heard the word "bad luck".
"The old minister doesn't dare."
Lin Chengzhi didn't speak, he was obviously a little angry, but because of his identity, he had to endure his temperament and get into the carriage, and those people immediately ran away when they saw this situation.
When Fuli saw him come back, she didn't dare to speak, she always thought that Lin Chengzhi would not make a big deal for anything, maybe in his heart, his mother was really important. This reminded her of the general, who is Lin Chengzhi's father, and she has only met twice, and Fang is the second time. The person who was rumored to have lost Princess Changning was standing outside the imperial mausoleum, looking at it, at that moment, it seemed that loneliness was his coat, and he had overcome all obstacles in his life, and the only trace of tenderness seemed to have been cut to pieces, just like Lin Chengzhi at the moment.
"I'm sorry." She sneered that she was indeed causing them trouble this time.
"I don't blame you."
Fuli looked up at him, and it seemed that he had been saying this, and it seemed as if he had been on his side since that maintenance ten years ago. She remembered the days when she was once blamed by her brother, and it was clear that it was really her fault every time.
"Why don't you blame me in the first place?"
Lin Chengzhi looked at her when she heard this, and she also looked at Lin Chengzhi, just like a glimpse of ten years ago, which shocked the years and was also imprinted in her memory.
"Why blame for unintentional mistakes?"
These eight simple words, but like a nest of warm currents melted into her heart, if there is only one person in this world who is worthy of her heart, it is Lin Chengzhi.
"I promise you, I'll ask you in advance next time I do anything."
Lin Chengzhi smiled lightly, "You have your freedom, and you don't owe anyone anything." ”
Fu Li pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows and chuckled, and after a moment he heard him say, "I'm a little tired......" Before he finished speaking, he heard her hurriedly say: "Then you will sleep, and I will call you when it comes." As he spoke, he tilted his head, and she suddenly thought of something and asked softly, "I have written a new piece of soothing music, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Lin Chengzhi didn't speak, and when she saw the corners of his mouth raised, she understood. Fortunately, she has the habit of carrying a piccolo with her, so she wiped it busily and put it to her lips, which was a new song she wrote some time ago, and she thought that she could use it in the future, and sure enough. She'd actually heard that she had almost fallen asleep several times, and she must have been very good to him.
As long as you close your eyes to feel, you can feel the tranquility in your ears immersively, fade away from the noise, as if you are in a sea of flowers in a farmland, from time to time there is a slight breeze blowing, waving a little ripple on the surface of the river, attracting the fish in the river to also compete to play. Turning around is the happy scene of children running on the field and flying kites, a few children chase after me, even if they fall, they immediately get up and continue to run to catch up with the little friends in front, and at the same time, from time to time someone will throw a smile at you, asking if you want to play with them...... I don't know when it started, Lin Chengzhi hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.
He opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, he had no desires in this life, and he was used to being alone. Until a second ago, he thought that he would always be so indifferent, but the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to truly understand what it was like to be accompanied by someone around him, a taste he had never tasted, and what it was so unforgettable.
