Chapter 112: A Joyful Journey (9)

Xiaoqiu returned to the room in despair, and kept stroking Mr. Xiang's handkerchief.

A month ago, I secretly embroidered chrysanthemums on it, and I haven't had time to show it to Mr. Xiang in person. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty of this world, it was a big crime to embroider privately, but she only had this one skill that she could do in front of her beloved. At that time, she thought that she couldn't show arithmetic in front of Mr. Xiang, it was really funny~ What's more, she believed Mr. Xiang from the bottom of her heart.

Now, it doesn't matter if you show him this embroidery or not. She smiled bitterly, thinking about what Fang Cai Yingjie said: "Miss Xiaoqiu, for the sake of my brother's safety, not only can you not be with him, but you also have to take those secrets underground forever. You already know too many secrets of the Tang royal family, you ...... There is no way back. Before evening, I will go to your room and look for your body. You can write the letter as I asked you to do and put it next to you. ”

When she heard this, she asked stupidly, "Do you want me to die?" ”

She wanted to get a negative word, but all she waited for was a solemn nod of the festival.

How could she be willing to die...... is still so young, last year he finally escaped from his stepmother's poisonous hands, and was finally rescued by Mr. Xiang when he died, and finally got acquainted with Mr. Xiang. How could it be that you only have a year, and you have to die like this?

After sitting in a daze for a long time, Xiaoqiu gradually came to his senses. It turns out that Ying Jie doesn't believe in himself, maybe it's his character, maybe it's his mind. Even if he has no intention of betraying Mr. Xiang, with this reckless and simple personality, he will inevitably be used by the wicked, and he may harm Mr. Xiang. ”

This royal matter must not be known by irrelevant people, and Xiaoqiu is the person who has nothing to do with it. As long as she's dead, no one else knows about it. Mr. Xiang will live a happy life with Mr. Ying Festival in the palace safe and sound. He will even marry a smart woman who is worthy of his Ling Yingjie and feel safe, and have a group of lovely children, which Xiaoqiu can't get.

"Woo~ It would be nice if I didn't eavesdrop outside, at least I could still have a fantasy, at least I would be alive to see Mr. Xiang successfully realize his dream." Xiaoqiu felt very painful, she was reluctant to set sun, reluctant to live, and reluctant to Mr. Xiang.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, pulling her out of her thoughts of grief and fear.

When she opened the door, it was none other than the person she wanted to make trouble as soon as she left.

"Xiaoqiu, I've finally made a good tune! Thanks to you and my brother, I have a better understanding of my feelings, and I was able to get inspired. Mr. Xiang is like a child at the moment, his eyes are clear and full of innocence, and the corners of his mouth are relaxed and hopeful smiles.

"That's good." Xiaoqiu tried to keep the same smile as usual, "You will definitely become a musician." ”

Mr. Xiang's smile was more profound, and his eyes were more gentle: "Hurry up and prepare, it's time for dinner~ My little servant, sure enough, I cooked the abalone and mushrooms from Changbai Mountain, and it cost a full twenty taels of gold~ Forget it, it's a big deal to buy it again during the New Year, anyway, my brother has made enough money for the music hall~"

"Okay." Xiaoqiu responded lightly, with deep love in her eyes and a pampering look.

Mr. Xiang raised his hand and wanted to stroke the hair of his beloved woman, but suddenly he was ashamed, put down his hand, lowered his head and smiled, and ran away.

"It's so cute~" Xiaoqiu faced the back of her beloved, very sad. She closed the door, leaned her back against the frame, covered her mouth with her hands, and began to cry quietly. She tries not to make too loud noises so as not to be heard by others and arouse suspicion.

Great, he's finally getting what he wants.

Before dinner, Ying Jie saw Xiaoqiu safe and sound in the courtyard.

He grabbed the girl's wrist: "You! Why are you still here? ”

Xiaoqiu's eyes were locked with tears like a deep pool, and he begged bitterly: "Get rid of you and let me watch him go to the examination room." As soon as I got the good news from him, I immediately committed suicide by throwing myself into the lake. ”

She escaped from a letter with a strong ink fragrance: "I have written it according to what you said, don't you still believe me?" ”

Ying Jie looked at her with a frown, and nodded after a long time: "Okay, for the sake of your deep affection for him, I will promise you." ”

Hearing this, this infatuated girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Before dawn the next day, Xiaoqiu prepared all the dry food and fruits.

She stood in front of Mr. Xiang's door, wanting to be the first to see Mr. Xiang today. The autumn morning was a little cold, and her heart was also cold and warm. As long as I think of Mr. Xiang, there is a beam of light in my heart.

In this way, he stood for half an hour.

The moment Mr. Xiang opened the door, his nose was a little sour: "How long have you been waiting?" ”

"It's not been a moment."

"Let's go, probably they're all up too."

It's still such a greeting close to nature, but it's a pity that there is only one such opportunity.

From the Xiaoxiang Music Hall to the Imperial Palace, it takes about a day to arrive. The group rested at the inn for one night, and in the early morning, they thought about walking to the examination room. The examination room was set up on a small platform outside the walls of the palace.

Two hours passed.

The news came out: Mr. Xiang was the only one selected among the fifty people in the musician exam.

Xiaoqiu smiled and took a step back, neither the curator nor the little maid noticed her, so she kept retreating until the river.

"The person I love the most, I must be happy in the future, don't be sad anymore."

Three days later.

Mr. Xiang had just changed into the costume of a court musician, and the eldest prince in palace costume came in.

"Brother!"

"My good brother!"

"Brother, where did Xiaoqiu go? Did you find her? ”

The eldest prince sighed and took out a letter from his bosom: "I searched all over the two cities, but I didn't find her, and finally I found this letter under her pillow. You take your time, don't get excited. ”

Mr. Xiang snatched the letter and opened it eagerly, with Xiaoqiu's handwriting on it:

Mr. Xiang, when you read this letter, I have already gone away with the person I love the most.

I know you like me, but alas, I found out that the person I love the most is not you, but the playmate I was with when I was a child.

He came to me and said he wanted to take care of me for the rest of my life. At that moment, I realized how much I wanted to marry him seriously and live happily.

I hope you can find your own happiness, don't see.

Xiaoqiu

The letter fell to the ground, and Mr. Xiang's face was filled with tears. He turned his head, opened his misty eyes, and looked at the eldest prince: "Brother, it turns out that I made a mistake." ”

"There are many women in the world, why cling to someone who doesn't love you. Put it down. ”

"Fortunately, my liking for Xiaoqiu is only a preliminary one, and it hasn't reached the point where she has to be."

The eldest prince stared at him: "Then why are you so sad?" ”

"Maybe I'm not willing to do more."

After Xiaoqiu's death, Yuexia has returned to the underground castle, under the spell of the god of joy, and then watched the follow-up plot. She sat on the blanket, her arms wrapped around her legs, tears in the corners of her eyes, and watched the conversation between Mr. Xiang and the eldest prince on the screen.

"Hey, old woman, you say, Mr. Xiang really doesn't love Xiaoqiu as much as Xiaoqiu loves him?"

Xishen shook his arm: "Who knows this?" Maybe he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment he fell out of love. After all, the psychology of love compensation will also play a role. ”

"What is the psychology of love compensation?"

Xishen began to play with his fingers again: "Hmm...... For example, Mr. Xiang may have some liking for Xiaoqiu. When he learns that Xiaoqiu likes him, his love for Xiaoqiu will deepen, and she won't marry! But when he learns that Xiaoqiu has chosen someone else, this love decreases, even less than he liked at the beginning. Soon, he will forget about Xiaoqiu! ”

"Wouldn't Xiaoqiu be too pitiful in that case?"

"Then I can't help it~ She sacrificed her life to ensure the safety of the second prince, and also gave the eldest prince a reassurance. Later, after the death of the second regent, the power of the Tang Dynasty was divided among other powerful ministers. Mr. Xiang later married the daughter of the general, and the two loved each other and respected each other like guests. After his brother's death, he became the next heir to the throne. Relying on the power of his wife's mother's family, this throne is quite stable, and Datang is also governed by him in an orderly manner. The ending can be regarded as happy~ If Mr. Xiang really married Xiaoqiu, there may be any disasters in the future, let alone being the emperor. ”

"So that's the joy! Xiaoqiu sacrificed for the sake of her beloved, and for the joy of others, and gave her sorrow to herself. ”

"Well, this trip is interesting, isn't it? My childhood was the time when Mr. Xiang ascended the throne! Xiaoqiu's affairs, in addition to the eldest prince, but also my great-grandfather, that is, the curator, knows! Because Xiaoqiu's body was fished out by the eldest prince and my great-grandfather and secretly buried. I've chosen this trip for you. It just so happens that Xiaoqiu is still you in that world, just like the compassionate Akhao is you in another world. But this time, Xiaoqiu and you look exactly the same~"

Yuexia pursed her lips: "You are embarrassed to say that not only Xiaoqiu looks exactly like me, but Mr. Xiang and Xiaota also look exactly the same." The second time I experienced such a parting of life and death, my heart was about to break. ”

"That's how it's real, so you can put your heart into it~"

Xishen danced happily and casually, while looking at Yuexia with a smile: "I find that your temperament has matured a lot now." ”

Yuexia glanced at her unhappily: "This is considered mature?" ”

Xishen stopped dancing, supported his chin with his hand, and frowned slightly: "Hmm...... I don't know if it's mature or not, but it's good for you to understand the seven emotions. ”

Extreme exhaustion swept through Yuexia's body, and she finally couldn't stand it anymore and lay on the blanket.

"This kind of experience is really enough for me." Slowly, she felt her body become more and more limp, and soon entered the dream.

"Yuexia~" Xishen wanted to wake her up, "Hurry up, I found you quite interesting, talk with me for a while~"

The old woman smiled and made a shushing gesture to Xishen: "Let her sleep, and leave tomorrow morning." The incense we just lit has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating. She was indeed too tired. ”
